I feel like I would be a Prof in the Pokémon universe. Just interested in studying, experiments, generally dilletante shit and fieldwork.

No desire for fame or publishing if I can get around it or get someone else to take credit for it as long as I get a little scratch

Edit: try and keep things nice at 69%, lol

I want to be on Team Rocket.

Like Jessy and James never achieved anything but were never let go from their job and continue to recieve what seems like endless funding.

The endless funding part is sick. RocketCo is literally AcmeCorp or whatever and they are Wile E Coyote/Natasha and Boris

I really identify with them in terms of being and feeling like they are marginalized or operate on the margins of society for good and bad reasons to the extent you can't (and I don't want to personally) totally judge.

Economically and socially speaking, there should be but often isn't space for everyone to exist and simply be ok and its a very scary world that is available instead. There but for the grace go I 😢

Edit: I cried during WAYYY too many maudlin Team Rocket origin story cutaways
