Snorlax Acquitted

There’s something comforting about a small thing trying to be heavy.

In the photo, Snorlax stands in miniature, built from blocky little pieces—blue and cream stacked into a familiar silhouette. Around its feet, more pieces lie scattered like evidence: tiny rectangles and fragments that look like they were dropped mid-thought. The background is soft and out of focus, the way a room looks when you’re half awake, noticing only what matters.

“Snorlax Acquitted” is a funny headline, but it also feels oddly right. As if this sleepy creature had been called to account for taking up space, for pausing the day, for choosing rest in a world that keeps asking for motion. And then, somehow, cleared.

I like the idea that the verdict isn’t loud. No confetti. Just the quiet permission to be unproductive for a while. To sit there, solid and unbothered, while the scattered pieces wait patiently for their turn to become something whole.

Maybe that’s the best kind of acquittal: not proving you were never guilty, but realizing the charge didn’t matter in the first place.
