Ash seeks Regirock

A fanart illustration of Ash finding the Pokemon Regirock on a misty beach. Sun sweeps through the lower third of the image, illuminating rocks, sand, and the shoreline. Ash climbs into a rock in the foreground. Pikachu perches on a boulder in the sun. Regirock towers above the beach, partially obscured by fog in the distance.

Ginger Root was by far one of the best gigs I've ever been to. I haven't been to many gigs so that doesn't mean anything but trust me.

Why does this continue to be true lol

Drawing of a character looking at a vibrant painting by Erin Hanson saying “Wow this animated movie is beautiful! Sure wish i could see it in live action too!”

Same person now looking at a dull lifeless photo saying “Yep that’s sure is what i wanted i guess”
