AAAAAND here's the other old pokepasta wip i managed to finish for halloween!! this concept is like, REALLY old. i've had it sitting around since sometime after when i first posted cheap figures on here. well, better a year late than never...! it's a LOT more melodramatic than my usual fare, but i think it makes for a nice contrast.

i have mixed feeling on Pokemon Black (...the pokepasta) itself as a 'pasta, largely because it feels kind of weak as a story...? it's very much a "here's a slightly weird game that probably was made by someone morbid. that's all" sort of thing, so it doesn't really impress me. but there's a lot of potential in its premise, and i wanted to do my own take on it - mainly focusing on the idea that the GHOST in the romhack is actually specifically the marowak ghost, which... for some reason i haven't actually seen anyone do before?? o.O

throwing buried alive in here was kind of an impulse decision because i was thinking about the old and extremely famous lavender town-based 'pastas that felt kinda... formative for the pokepasta community way back when, i guess? creepyblack, buried alive, and lavender town syndrome (...guess what song is ghost's lullaby!) sorta form a trio to me. but, as impulsive a decision as it was, i'm really glad i did it because the part with buried alive/"The Man of the Tower" is probably my favorite part of this whole 'pasta.

anyway, in a way this kind of became a bit of a tribute to lavender town content of the olden days, but it's also kind of its own thing, as well! hope y'all like it!
