An animated top down pixel art diorama of a Haunted Mansion main hall. The gothic architecture is the perfect playground for the many ghost pokemon inhabiting the abandoned house. Right in the middle of the foyer, a megaevolved Chandelure welcomes unfortunate visitors with its blue flames flickering gently as the moonlight seeps through a hole in the roof, lighting the ruined pavement in a cold light. A solitary mimikyu joins the foyer, dragging its disguise across the western wing passage. A duskull levitates below the balcony, disappearing through rich, old and dusty drapes. The East Wing corridor is blocked by Gourgeis and Pumpkaboo, with their dim, warm lanterns mimicking the many candles and chandeliers scattered around the mansion. Could they be the very ones lighting them up?
The monumental staircase leads to the first floor, were the balcony oversees the whole entrance room, forming a U-shape. To the left, leading to the western wing first floor, a Lampent shines atop an archway. To the East, a Dusclops waits in the shadows. At the very center of the balcony, Gengar is doing all kinds of silly faces, laughing at the viewer, right before disappearing. A litwick has found its nest in a small alcove by the two-story wooden doorway arch. Onboth sides of the doorway, many paintings with rich frames are hung. To the left, a Mismagius is showcasing its psychic powers to Misdreavus by taking control of a huge painting of Agatha, the famous elite 4. The shaking painting's eyes shine briefly in an ominous light. On the second story of the archway a Dusknoir briefly appears. An Ariados can be seen coming down its web through the gothic archs. Under the dark roof atop the whole scene, Haunter and Gastly are playing hide and seek. A huge hole in the roof lets the moonlight rays enter the Hall. Through the very same opening, zubats and a drifloon can be seen flying.

Pixel Art picture featuring the pokemon Blacephalon, standing on a fence atop an old-looking japanese-like coastal town at night. The crescent moon shines bright, its relection shimmering in the bay. A fantastic Luna Park is seen in the distance, right above the water, with its many towers, a ferry wheel also reflected in the calm, dark waters. The starry sky is illuminated by fireworks.

A top-down pixel art scene reimagining of Newmoon Island from Pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.

A dark forest grows on steep, rocky cliffs; from below the trees, many creeks flow and merge in a swampy pond through small waterfalls.
The calm water surface reflects an ominous Red Moon.
Right above the moon's reflection, an ancient Red Torii gate stands tall amidst lotuses and lilypads. Darkrai stands there, waiting, floating right above the water, as Akari and her trusted hisuian Typlosion companion prepare to battle.

A top-down view of a wintery glade in the middle of a bamboo grove. The bamboo tops and foliage are covered with thick snow. Many tombstones and an old, ruined well can be seen. An ancient shrine emerges from the shadows of the tall bamboo stalks, surrounded by will-o'-wisps. Rei, the main character from Pokemon Legends Arceus, is reading himself for a though battle against a Hisuian Zoroark, protecting the shrine.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

e-6695 (Consumer protection)

Keywords
Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

Artwork of my Geats OC, Kamen Rider Cameo, in his final form, Garland Jyamato, whipping his rose based whip blade forward. The top of his chameleon pine green helmet is now shaped like a tricorne hat with small flowers growing around its trim and a long vine tail. His visor glows red besides the crack in its right side. The Garland navy armor has high relief green leaves and red petals, as well as a white jabot tie decorated with a chameleon crest at its top. His shoulder pads resemble red petals, jyamato vines wrap around his arm as bracelets, and his forearms are protected by a rose bud shaped pads. On his back, a petal-shaped velvet cape is blowing. The Garland buckle is a prominent red rose with a vine sticking out of it as handle for its activation, and Cameo's driver is completed with his obligatory Jyamato buckle and cracked ID core.

If you purchase Pokemon earrings, charms, or phone grips from me, you'll get at least one matching Pokemon card with your order! 🩷 custom pieces too. I have a ton of cards just sitting around and I want to give them good homes 🥰💕

Umibōzu - 海坊主 - [Yokai] - mysterious ocean giants that vary in size from human size to titanous. They are often said to resemble a balding monk. Usually appearing on calm nights, right before a storm, they ask for a barrel… an easy ward is said to be a lit cigarette. samkalensky.com/products/umi...
