Where was Delia's age mentioned? Because the implication of her having Ash at 19 is pretty wild to me. Then again, my parents had me in their 30s as the second last of 7 brothers so my viewpoint may be a bit skewed.
delia's age is mentioned in takeshi shudo's (one of the former head writers pokemon) novel that was meant to accompany the anime. it was called Pocket Monsters: The Animation. it provides a lot of backstory to some characters
Tumblr media
Satoshi's mother's name is Hanako. Looking at Hanako, who is still under 30, you wouldn't think she was Satoshi's mother. In fact, if Satoshi were to introduce her to someone saying “This is my mother, who'll be turning 30 soon.” they'd probably stare blankly... and shake their head in disbelief. Then they'd smile politely and think he was joking as they replied. “Hanako could only be in her early 20s.” Anyway, Hanako really didn't look any older than her early 20s. While Satoshi would prefer her to become more like an ordinary older woman, if strangers were to see them together they would likely think they were brother and sister. While Satoshi wouldn't notice due to being with her all the time, most people would consider her quite the beauty, in fact, when she was 17 she appeared on the front cover of the new year bumper issue of “Pokémon Pals” alongside a flower Pokémon known as Madatsubomi. It was the biggest thing to happen in Masara Town since Masara Ookido reached 931st on the trainer charts. It was approximately two years later that Satoshi was born, however she has never told him about her appearance in that special edition of “Pokémon Pals” because “I was so immature back then, yaaah~ ” After her mother passed away, Hanako took over the family business, the only restaurant in town with an inn (hotel) on the second floor, Masara House: Hanako, which she ran all on her own. Satoshi's father isn't around anymore. Satoshi's father was a Pokémon Trainer. He left town right after Satoshi was born and never came back. While we're on the topic, Hanako's father... That is to say, Satoshi's grandfather, was also a Pokémon Trainer, he also left home when Hanako was young and never came back. But that's enough about Hanako for now, let's get back to Satoshi's story.
her being a teen mom is an integral part to her story

Roles of stuffies
Hi kiddos! Many of you asked me about the different roles that a stuffie can have so I made this post to make it more clear, hope you'll like it! If you want let me know what roles your stuffies have!
I want to clarify that I see every object alive, it's both part of my spiritual belief and my view on life as well. I truly believe that everything has a little sparkle inside, that's also why my stuffies are so important for me. Please don't make fun of this post or how I see them because I'll sadly block you without explanation, it's a sensible topic for me. Thank you now enjoy!
Comforter
- A stuffie with the main role of comforting you. They're usually old stuffies or related to a specific period of your life, they give you a sense of a calmness when you're tiny or upset. They usually help you ground yourself when you're crying or they can give you strength when you hug them, the truth is that they love being with you.
Protector
- A stuffie with the main role of protecting you both emotionally and physically. This stuffie usually stay the most by your side, they protect you from nightmares, monsters under bed, bad people, social anxiety when you're outside,etc...They're very tough and love their job.
Memory holder
-A stuffie with the main role of holding a specific memory or sensation for you. This type of stuffie usually can hold a single memory but it's strong enough that when you look at them you can't forget it. For example: A trip at the zoo, a friend, a date with a caregiver, a good day, a parent,etc..They're very sensitive and when you look at them they loves to see you smile.
Silly amplifier
- A stuffie with the main role of making you laugh or being carefree again. They're usually related to something you love and that makes you instantly tiny, when you look at this stuffie you can't stop giggling and jumping. They're infused with a magic spell that is full of love and joy and all the good things, it's a rare and beautiful magic and They're honored to use it with you.
Caregiver
-A stuffie with the main role of being your caregiver. This type of stuffie usually represents a parental figure, they come in your life if you have a dysfunctional or absent parent. They're what you needed as a kid. For example: They're like a caring and loving mom, a supportive dad, a great sibling, someone that take care of you in an healthy way. This type of stuffie literally see you as their offspring and they love you unconditionally.
Telepath
-A stuffie with the main role of understanding you or talk with you without words. This type of stuffie are very strong and wise, when you're tiny and you can't communicate you can still look at them they would know what you need. When you're outside and there's too many people you can look at them and they can telepathically send you encouraging words. If you're lucky enough to have one of these stuffies in your life, you have like a shiny in the pokemon world!
Sidekick
-A stuffie with the main role of helping another stuffie doing their job. This type of stuffie usually comes unnoticed, you probably don't play much with them or they stay displayed in a shell but you never touch them. It may seems sad from the outside but they're actually okay! They help other stuffie fulfill their job when they control everything and make sure we're all safe! They have no desires to have a bigger job or doing more stuff, They're just happy to help like this! Also occasional kisses and cuddles are always accepted!
Remember that you CAN like and reblog my posts but you CAN'T repost even with credits or use the tag #mine under this post!

These are mainly 42 centered because that’s just what my brain comes up with 😭 hope that’s okay
I feel like this is wildly excepted, but I can’t NOT mention it…Could Miles 42 do his own hair? Yes. But he makes his mama do it so he can spend time with her.
We know that Miles’s dad and Aaron fell out in universe 1610 (at least I think so) SO because Miles’s dad isn’t there to stray the family away from his brother, Miles 42’s music is much more influenced by his uncle than 1610’s is. There’s a lot of oldies in there that he first heard because of him!
Adding on to that, I think there’s records in Miles 42’s room? Like I think it’s like in the back. Idk maybe I just saw someone say something about it
Anyways, on those bad nights where shit’s getting to him, Miles puts on a record or two. He loves his headphones, but the record player gives off a different vibe
I like to think about both Miles’ art styles. 1610’s is very freedom, graffiti centered (as we know). There’s a lot of color, he’s free with it. But I believe that 42’s is more, controlled? Idk the word, really. But there’s sharp lines and maybe even a little restraint? To show the difference between how they both grew up and what they’ve experienced through their loves.
I think Miles 42 is better at drawing what’s in front of him, versus 1610’s tendency to just sort of go with it.
both Miles’ favorite place is the roof, where the memorial for Aaron/Mr. Morales is. It makes them feel closer to the ones they’ve lost.
I’ve seen a Tiktok about Miles 42 having heterochromia? People argued that it was just the lighting in the movie, but I think it’d be cool? His eyes aren’t that different, but one is more hazel while the other is more brown.
Pokemon is Miles 42’s guilty pleasure. He likes the games a little (a lot) more than he’d like to admit
Sometimes I think i’d be funny if Miles 42 was a little on the short side? Like Miles 1610 grew because of the spider bite, but 42 stayed where he was? Like he’s not short, but he’s closer to average than a lot of the guys he hangs around and it’s funny because his attitude is 10 feet tall
Miles 42 doesn’t see his mom as much as 1610 does because she’s always working, so he does little things around the house to make it feel more like home when she gets off work. He lights her favorite candles, makes sure her favorite flowers are always in a vase on the dining room table. He likes taking the pressure off his mom’s shoulders because he knows she works hard. He goes above and beyond for her.
He sometimes (a lot of times) slips money into her savings jar so he can see her face light up when she counts it all
42 has his dad’s class ring from high school. He wears it a lot, but when he doesn’t it stays in a little box with his chains.
I can imagine both Miles’ just knowing random things? Like they have all these facts for no reason except the can
Both of them are the type to say they can’t dance even though they can do it better than basically everyone around them
If I think of any more I can send them! There’s also some stuff on my blog too!
Oouu I never thought of miles as someone who can do his own hair. Now that I’m thinking about it. He can definitely do 2 strand twist, but the two braids maybe a little too complicated for him and that’s why he lets Rio do it and to spend time with her 🥰🥰.
Definitely is influenced by uncle Aaron when it comes to music.
The art thing is soooo interesting I’d love to hear more about your theories on that.
I agree with the rooftop, I’ve written a few fics based on that rooftop 😂😂
He definitely has different colored eyes I actually made a post about that and I love it! Ones green and the others brown.
Short King Miles G 😂 I like to think 1610 miles has like 2/3 inches on him.
Yesss omg I agree with the dancing thing, in my head they’re amazing dancers.
These were soooo good, yess send me the others 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 thanks for sharing

It would be so funny if the player could still send texts on their arc phone and decided to send every complaint directly to Arceus
Everything from "Those ungrateful bastards banished me" to "My tummy hurts :("
Bonus points if they hand the phone over to Volo or Ingo and let them rant at god for screwing them over
Tbh if it were me I would let Arceus know every single inconvenience I had with being thrown into the past with no warning.
You let Arceus know no peace, making it very clear of your feelings on the matter.
[There is a leak in my room. You know what didn't have a leak? My old home.]
[They deadass are sending me into the wild??? On my own?? Assuming I have no experience?? They want me dead, Arceus.]
[THEY DONT HAVE COFFEE]
[Why do I have to fight the big scary pokemon?? WHY IS IT A STRANGERS JOB-]
[I think Cynthia's ancestor is stalking me.]
[I REACHED TEN STARS FUCK YEAH]
[WHY do I have to solve this village's problems. How am I the only one doing anything to help here.]
[WHY IS THE TRAIN GUY FROM UNOVA HERE.]
[ANSWER ME ARCEUS.]
[ISNT THIS GUY A CELEBRITY???? ARCEUS. HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN HERE-]
[When i invent mac n cheese, its over for these assholes.]
[Do you think I could piss Cyrus off by adopting his great great grandmother as my own mom?]
[They fucking banned me, Arceus.]
[AFTER EVERYTHING I DID-]
[Volo is def stalking me btw. WHY is he the only one wanting to help me besides the nice lady who also looks like Cynthia-]
[THE SKY IS RED.]
[Did Kamado seriously send Beni to assassinate me or did I just hallucinate that whole encounter.]
[WHY IS IT I KEEPING MEETING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DELETE THE UNIVERSE WITH GIRATINA]
[If i had a dollar for every time this has happened, i'd have two dollars. It isn't a lot, but its weird its happened twice-]
[HOW COME HE GETS LIKE THE EQUIVALENT OF 8 POKEMON AND I CANT]
[If you had just said hi to him we could have avoided me almost dying TWICE.]
Arceus almost never responds unless you have a genuine question, or need help. But you do find solace in complaining to it.
You later tell Volo that hey, like, you know things are kinda awkward, but you have a means of directly messaging Pokemon God-
He's shaking as you hand him the phone and show him how to use it. At first, Volo for once, doesn't know what to say. He had dreamt of unloading his problems onto Arceus many times, but now?
He is almost at a lost for words.
That is, until you reach around him, showing him your previous conversations.
"Yeah, see here? I kinda bitched at Arceus last week because I'm still not allowed to go home yet. I kinda just use the chat to vent about things most of the time."
Volo stares for a moment, until he's furiously typing. He doesn't stop typing for a good few minutes, sending one very long, winded message, before handing the phone back to you. It's the longest message you have ever seen sent on your phone
The merchant is awfully quiet after that for a little while.

Watching my mom evolve over the years has been such a fun experience. For context, she's got nine kids (at least five of whom have turned out to be queer; at least four of those have turned out to be non-binary), and for most of my life, she was just your average Gen-X Irish-Italian Catholic mom. She didn't really do vocal homophobia or whatever, but she also clearly didn't know how to handle it when her firstborn interrupted a Red Wings game to announce, "I think I'm gay." (Spoiler alert: that was me at fifteen or sixteen. In retrospect, of course the Tomboy For Life who had never been remotely interested in boys but was ALWAYS talking about actresses/female friends at school a bit too much wound up being gay. And announcing it. During a hockey game. Of course.)
She also didn't really know how to handle that same kid starting to date in college, bringing a girl home, and so on. She did a bit better when the next kid came out as a lesbian, but when that kid came out as non-binary (shout-out to that sib for doing some of the heavy lifting first), it was a whole new deal. It clearly had never crossed her mind before, that this might come up. Gay? She was figuring out gay. Gender stuff? Whew. A shiny new Pokemon of a situation.
The changed pronouns have been a bit difficult for my mom. The new names still get jumbled. (In fairness, the old names got jumbled, too--it was always a laundry list of names before she got to yours, no matter what you went by, because there were just so goddamned MANY of us.) It gets harder when she's stressed, and sometimes she just seems not to be getting it. I know it frustrates my siblings deeply. It can grate on me, too. You just want people to understand out the gate, to take you at your word, to shift gears without a slip-up. You don't want the awkward conversations, the painful skips, the rough patches. It's tempting to just give up on people if they don't stick the landing immediately.
But if you look a bit deeper, there's such a soft mama bear energy to my mom. Such a stubborn determination to get it right where it really counts. My mother, who never once skipped Sunday mass as I was growing up, has left the church completely because "they don't treat my family well." My mother, who once told me not to bring a girl home because it might confuse the youngest children, bought Converse sneakers expressly for my wedding to a woman. And my mother, who had never known the word non-binary, who didn't seem aware of the trans umbrella at all before her kids started huddling beneath it, keeps leaping to tell me all about the shows she's watching lately. The ones where "there's a non-binary character, and it's so cool that people can see that now!" The ones where "and this one is non-binary, and they're so great, and maybe it'll teach the shitty politicians of the world that they're just people, you know?"
Sometimes you just have to give people a little space. Let them stumble occasionally. They're going to. They're going to trip up. My mom hurt my feelings so many times when I was young, said so many of the wrong things right on the heels of the right ones, confused and upset me because I couldn't understand why she just didn't get it. But here she is, almost sixty years old, and so gleeful to tell me about the power of queer representation on TV. She doesn't always get it right, but goddamn, does she love her kids, and goddamn, does she want the world to love people like her kids, too.

Hey there! I didn't see who you write for on your page, so I'll include a couple of characters in case you don't write for one of them.
Can you do a GN or Male!Reader x either Arven or N, please? Just some cuddles and quality time, because I am pretty sure that's what most of us crave!
Thank you!
-First Anon
Ohhh yeah I know what you mean, cuddly fluff is always what I crave! Hopefully people who come for my content have similar interests, lmao. :) I went with a male reader because yknow… these are some guys I have a man crush on.
But yeah!! Cuddles with dudes I have fictional crushes on!! Pokemon gave me a great gift in the form of two fruity dudes with long hair and familial issues who are my age.
cw: child neglect (given who these are about…)
Cuddling Headcanons with a Male Reader for Arven and N
Tumblr media
Arven
🥪 — Arven is hesitant with physical affection at first, just because he’s really not used to it. Like what do you mean… you want to put your arms around him because you love him?? Are you okay??
🥪 — Arven’s always been of the mind that acts of service are the only way to win the love of someone from previous experience, after all working so hard at school and home upkeep always earned praise from his mom/dad even if they weren’t there physically.
🥪 — Given you’re both guys, he’s also kinda shy about the relationship at first. Now, Paldea is one of the most queer-accepting regions you could be in, but it’s still, yknow. Not considered “normal”. People might stare, or say something. He’s no doubt in love with you but the potential negative attention scares the shit out of him.
🥪 — But when he does open up? God, he’s the biggest cuddlebug. He tried physical intimacy once and now he’s addicted.
🥪 — You can hold him, he can hold you, he doesn’t care, just being close is enough. If you’re shorter than him, he’ll usually rest his chin on your head and hum happily. If you’re taller than him, he’ll usually bury his face in your chest.
🥪 — Play with his hair and he’ll die a little bit. If you’re able to see his face, he’ll be wearing the biggest and dumbest smile the whole time. It’s best not to mix this with compliments because you WILL kill him.
🥪 — If you’re a weighted blanket enjoyer, you’ll never need one, because he can snap his fingers and suddenly there’s a massive weighted blanket with legs, a tail and a big furry face on top of you both.
🥪 — So as if you didn’t already have the pleasure of cuddling up to such a sweet guy, you also have his huge dog. Nights are never cold when you’re with these guys.
🥪 — He’s lowkey kind of a house husband of a boyfriend and he likes doing things like cooking meals for you, especially surprising you with breakfast, but that can be hard if you guys fell asleep cuddled up to each other. He doesn’t wanna climb out of this :(
🥪 — He’ll just kind of talk and ramble about nothing in particular while you guys snuggle if you let him. How his day was, how Mabosstiff is doing, compliments and things he loves about you, new recipes, funny stories, all that. Sort of comes to a point where even he doesn’t really know what he’s talking about, he’s just sort of talking to talk because he’s not too fond of dead silence.
🥪 — He’s yours, alright. Even if he was nervous about the relationship at first, Arven’s a happy, happy guy. And he’ll take any chance he gets to cuddle up to you.
Tumblr media
N
💚 — His relationship with touch is complicated. That and the whole concept of cuddling and just having someone’s weight against him.
💚 — I feel like sleeping at night he switches regularly between “literally the thinnest blanket is a constricting prison” to “this weighted blanket isn’t enough I need to be buried alive”
💚 — So you can only cuddle with him on touch-positive days, but N’s fallen into a good rhythm with you and is very communicative of where his boundaries are at at any given time.
💚 — Pokemon have no concept of sexuality, and no social constructs that dedicate one sexuality as more “acceptable” than the other, so neither does he. Not that he’s the biggest PDA person on earth, but he’s not at all nervous about you two openly being together. Yeah we gay, keep scrolling
💚 — If he’s in the mood for contact while you guys are out and about it’ll usually be while you’re sitting, he likes leaning against you and resting his head on your shoulder. I would say that would make the perfect date, taking him on the ferris wheel on a touch-positive day, but who am I kidding, he’d be too fascinated to rest with you then.
💚 — As one could guess by looking at him, he’s LIGHT. You could pick him up and sling him over your shoulder like a sack of potatoes, provided you are tall enough to support all his lankiness.
💚 — You can play with his hair if you want, he’ll undo his ponytail for you, but I can’t imagine it’s actually all that soft. Probably pretty coarse and tangled to be honest, given his upbringing, tending to his hair was never a prerogative. If you can’t stand it being a Rattata’s nest, though, he’ll rather contentedly let you brush it—through he might twitch or squirm a bit, just because the feeling of the brush going through his hair is NOT something he’s used to.
💚 — He spooks you from time to time on his touch-negative days, because you can roll over in bed at any given time and find him just. Staring at you. It’s a stare of pure love, but his eyes do have a kind of naturally vacant look that’s startling at first. Baby you have the haunting thousand-yard-stare of a possessed victorian child
💚 — When he is in the mood for cuddles, he really likes them at night before bed. Specifically right after you shower, because he loves the smell of your shampoo still lingering on your hair. It’s just so completely… you. And he loves that.
💚 — Fall asleep cuddling him and he will become a limp corpse though. An actual ragdoll. Don’t toss and turn too hard or you’ll break him. He’s fragile. And by that I mean if you roll over onto one of his arms he will be stuck there.
💚 — He’ll also chatter on endlessly if you let him, but unlike the sandwich man above, he can be a little harder to understand because he both talks super fast and lays out his words the same as he does his thoughts, which are hard for people other than him to understand. But he knows this, and he’s just happy that you listen, even if you don’t get all of it. And he’s happy to be able to talk, to be heard, to just… say things and not have them carry the weight of the world when he does. Normal conversation is a beautiful treat to him. Oftentimes he’ll talk himself right to sleep, but between being in your arms and getting to speak his mind on all these simple things, he sleeps really easy when he does drift off.

Gibeon & Amethio are related, but they are not father and son.
So, ep45 had me applying my clown makeup as I was a firm Gibeon is related to Amethio denier and that has uh clearly been proven true by that final scene… but I still don’t think they’re father and son like most people seem to be saying. First, let’s start with Gibeon’s physical condition.
Tumblr media
It seems clear by his position in the reveal that he suffers with functioning properly, this is further demonstrated with Hamber’s ‘Gibeon is awake’ comment. Considering he’s at least over 100, this is probably him abusing his mortality coming to bite him in the ass or some injury he sustained when Lucius kicked him out of the Rakua gc. And while pokemon never acknowledges topics like sex for obvious reasons, I doubt the writers would ignore the fact that Gibeon is clearly not in any condition to be breeding (dude only holds like 3 min meetings before going back to bed, he could never last that long in a physical activity such as that)
Now, this brings me to another theory i’ve been seeing: Amethio is some sort of clone/ artificial human being. I can see why some people think this, but i don’t think it’s going to happen. I just think it goes against the themes horizons has been setting up about generations (ex: ep34 where Hamber and Diana both pass things down to Liko and Amethio) i think it would be weird to have all this stuff about ancestry and then just throw in ‘oh and amethio’s not human btw’. It’s also just a really dark existential topic for pokemon, i know they can go dark and have done artificial creation before but that’s always been strictly for pokemon at least to my knowledge. I think people who believe in clone theory are getting too caught up in their Amethio and Hunter from ToH comparisons- ofc your free to theorise what you want but I just don’t see this happening.
To give some more solid proof that Amethio isn’t Gibeon’s son, let’s look at Liko’s ancestry.
Tumblr media
As we can see, hair does seem to matter when it comes to being directly descended from someone. All three have the same hair pattern, even if we can’t see the brighter blue for Lucca’s. Compare this to Lucius’s hair:
Tumblr media
It’s been made very clear that Liko is a descendant of his somehow, but this isn’t as direct as a great grandfather because then Diana could’ve literally just asked her mom who the man in the photo was to learn they’re related. Lucius resembles them somewhat but there are very clear differences.
Likewise, this seems to be the case with Gibeon and Amethio’s hair differences. They have the same colour scheme of white and black, but the way the two colours are separated are completely different. Just as Lucius and Liko’s family both have that sticky outy bit of their hair, Amethio and Gibeon both share that little white antenna although Gibeon’s is positioned differently.
So here’s my proposition: Amethio is related to Gibeon the same way Liko is related to Lucius.
Perhaps then Amethio is some distant relative to Gibeon who he located at some point- likely he didn’t have any family and so when Gibeon pulls up with his ‘oh hey we’re related’ spiel Amethio jumps at the chance for any form of connection. It’s not clear how much Amethio knows regarding Gibeon (he didn’t even know why he wanted the pendant after all) but perhaps Gibeon uses his condition as a further way of manipulating Amethio: not only does Amethio work for explorers to get Gibeon’s approval but also to find whatever he needs to not die so he won’t lose his last chance at family?
I also believe this is supported by all the Amethio-Liko parallels the show has been building up. It’s likely that Amethio’s backstory could be a dark mirror of Liko’s where the Explorers are to him what RVT is to Liko. Although, Amethio’s situation takes the ‘found family’ part more literally and instead of experiencing happiness he gets moulded into a child soldier…. yaaaay…
So then why does Gibeon actually need Amethio? Aside from the obvious meta reason, it’s likely Gibeon speculated someone with his blood could function as a Lucius detector (the pendant only stopped being dormant after amethio came into close contact) and this is also one of the reasons Amethio gets booted off the mission as he’d already performed his purpose of confirming the pendant was related to Lucius. Perhaps there’s something about Amethio’s ancestry which doesn’t apply to Gibeon that’s important? Or maybe Gibeon just put an easily exploitable child to good use.
Either way, there really isn’t a happy explanation for Amethio’s circumstances. Poor guy :(
I’ll potentially be eating my own words in a few months when we learn more about Gibeon and Amethio’s relationship but hey it never hurts to theorise. Hopefully we learn more stuff soon and that Amethio doesn’t get locked into off screen jail for another 11 weeks 💀💀

So what's the Celebi au?
How bout i throw in some writing?
Tumblr media
And visits his friend Delia who, somehow, is just much more somber these days
She gets visits from kids that visited her once and she somehow sweapt them under her wing
And then theres this Pikachu
He's waiting for someone and no one knows who
Everything in the world changes
But subtly
Legendaries are off the radar, not a single false sighting in sight
And these unknown, uncatchable pokemon just wander the ranch, theyre an odd group
Pokemon of different species, different regions, different types
Are sticking together for no reason that the Professor could tell
Professors from different regions, easily recognize the starters/pokemon they used to care for
But no one knows how they got there
Theres one day, two years after that, that Ash comes back
Because Legendaries are forgetful, they never return the memories to Ash's loved ones
The Professor wakes up to see this black haired kid wandering around, he looks vaguely familiar, but the professor shakes it off
"Excuse me, young man." The professor calls and the boy turns far too quickly. "This is private property, please leave immediately."
"Professor Oak?" if the Professor wasn't famous, he might have tilted his head.
"Young man, i will not warn you again."
The boy startles, as if confused, but quickly clambers over the fence and wanders closer to him.
He can see bright brown eyes and scarred cheeks. The boy was young, probably ten years old at most.
Ah, he must have been a new trainer, of course, the professor must have forgotten
"Come along young man, we need to head to the lab."
The kid walks by his side, staring at the ranch and pokemon.
"Professor?"
"Yes yes, i will set you up with your new pokemon shortly, please be patient."
The boy looks at him far too quickly, eyes wide and peaked in alarm.
"Wha- no Professor i was wondering if you've seen my mom." the boy pulls away standing by his side. "Ketchum, remember??"
He freezes, and stares at the boy. The only Ketchum he knew of was Delia Ketchum.
And as far back as he could remember.
Delia never had any family.
But the Ketchum kid looks determined, as if he knew he was in the right.
"The only Ketchum in this town at the moment is Delia." the Professor Breathes. "And shes never had any children."
The boy starts again, his whole body freezing in place.
Was this a ploy?
"But...It's..I'm Ash...Remember me? You gave me a Pikachu about 2-3 years ago?" The boy, Ash, pleads. "You reprimanded me for about ten minutes for being late? Pikachu was considered disobedient?"
The old Professor tilts his head.
"I've never sponsored any trainer named Ash, I'm afraid you must have your professors mixed up."
And the boy deflates, he doesnt seem to understand any implication of whats going on. Regardless, if he was a trainer, like he claimed to be, he must have some sort of record in the system.
"Again, lets head into my lab, i can help you find some things out if need be."
Ash looks ready to argue, ready to fight tooth and nail for something that was false. But he deflates and just nods.
What a strange boy.
The walk up the long trail of stairs in quiet, he can clearly see Delia's car hanging around the corner, she must be tending to the infantry at the moment.
And there, sitting at the top of the stairs, is that mew damned Pikachu.
The mouse is violent, he absolutely hates having anyone be near him, but hes also determined to stay and sit in the places people need to move in and out.
The only good thing is that the Pikachu wont attack unless you try to pick him up.
But the mouse looks angry, irritated at the moment, which means someone must have tried to move him.
He heaves a sigh, holds an arm out to stop the kid from moving.
"Come on, lets move closer to the left."
But the boy grabs his arm and gently lowers it, eyes never leaving the mouse.
"It's Pikachu!"
And with that, the old Oak is certain that the boy has never seen one before.
"Yes," He bites back sarcastically. "Hes got quiet a shocking personality, we need to steer clear of- HEY!"
The boy walked past him, rushing up the stairs to Pikachu. And like clockwork, the mouse is on four, snarling and sparking at Ash.
And the boy slows down, at least the kid had a touch of Common sense.
"Pikachu... Its me."
"Kachu!" it was strange seeing the interaction, it seemed odd to see something like this happen.
But the crushing look on the boys face seemed to just...Ennunciate even more.
"I...Ash...Satoshi? Member?" Ash takes another step forward, and Pikachu steps back. "You're friend?"
And Pikachu snarls, sparks beginning to fly off his coat.
Professor Oak can see his interns and Delia peak out the open windows, staring intently at the scene before them all.
From what he can see, not a single person recognizes the boy.
"PIKACHU!"
"Your name is Pikachu " The boy states the glaringly obvious. "You've never been apart of a clan before, you know Thunderbolt, thunder, electroweb, iron tail, double team, agility, electro ball, tackle and volt tackle."
Now everyone is startled, the only move they have ever seen Pikachu use was Thunderbolt. It would have been impossible for Pikachu to learn all those moves without a trainer.
And yet
The electric crackles stop, as the mouse looks on in stunned disbelief.
And Ash continued.
"You're naughty by nature, your ability is static that you never use cause you think its cheating." Ash presses on. "You love Ketchup and your favorite berry is Sitrus. You hate being confined in any space alone, so pokeballs are the worst and you've never ever been in one after being caught. You're favorite curse word is the F-word and you would much rather battle then be paraded around as a pet."
And Ash kneels onto the stair, far closer to Pikachu then anyone has ever gotten.
And just like that
Pikachu steps forward.
Theres small gasp that echo the area, including his own but Ash and Pikachu stay locked onto each other.
"Pi...Pikachu?" another step forward.
When Oak turns to focus on Ashzl, the boy is shaking. Shoulders very vaguely quaking.
"Yeah bud," Ash pauses to clear his throat for a second. "We've been partners for a long while... Im...Im sorry."
He expects Ash to whip out a pokeball to recall Pikachu, but instead he stays in his spot.
He does lean forward, and it takes a bit for the old Professor to realize that the boy was begging for forgiveness, not in a way he'd ever seen before.
"Pi....Pika..." And Pikachu crawls forward to bump heads against Ash.
Theres a bit of a broken sob, and Ash looks up, lays a hand against the mouse cheeks and just brokenly laughs.
And to his surprise.
Pikachu tears up too.
The mouse's eyes begin to clear, soft brown finally peaking from the angry black everyone is so used to. His tiny paws reaching up to grip onto the boys face.
"Pikapi." and the sob deepens from Ash's throat.
Like a spell that was supposedly there, Pikachu ears perk, his zig zag tail wagging ever so slightly. But the sudden lip quivering turns into broken laughs and cheers from the electric type.
"Pikapi, Pikapi Pikapi!" He chants, slamming head first into Ash's shoulder.
And Ash laughs, tears rushing down his face.
Something the Oak never expected to see. Was that angry mouse crawl all over a child, a stranger, so happily in minutes, when he was ready to bite any other child he had come to know.
"I'm sorry, im sorry, i really...I just..Im sorry!" Ash cries, fianlly managing to grip Pikachu tightly in his arms.
"Pikachu!" and with a raise of their paw, Pikachu bops Ash harshly on the head. "Pika chu, Pikapi!"
"But i-"
"Chuuuu!"
"bu-"
"CHUUUU!"
And with a small electric bolt, Ash is laughing.
"Okay. Okay, i promise."
And finally Pikachu looks far happier
"Chaaa!!"
(I also have a part with Pikachu but this is long enough :) )

The Halloween Update! (since we Mateo Vincent??? MATEO forgot to update the blog.) Part 5
Mateo is the one who is responsible for updating the website but as the last photo is his, allow me to do the honors of updating you with the finale of this... Je ne sais pas, this series? Oui, it seems to be the proper term. Mateo went in as this... hm, how curious. This is... a costume? Really? I thought he was wearing his usual outfit! Madame Ling went in as a nurse—which I was later told that she actually went as Nurse Joy from Pokémon (that surprised me), Kirra went in as Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn (Sasha a fait un travail incroyable!) And you're telling me that... Mateo wore a costume? This is a costume? Who is he even supposed to be? Himself? The colors don't fit him, he looks so... plain. Mon dieu, what a disaster. I thought he was an architecture student? Why is he—
Tumblr media
Quoi merde—Mateo?!
Cabrón, chingas tu madre.You think you can just push me off the computer like that, homie?
The hit was unnecessary, connard!
And so is pushing me off the computer, so now I'm just giving you a taste of your medicine! Take that, tonto!
Why, you—?!?
Yes, me! Go back and work in admin instead of taking care of children since you're so bad at it!
If there's anyone who's deathly bad at something, it's you and your idiotic fashion sense! Why not ask the new babysitter for fashion tips since you obviously need some, asshole!
What?! I don't need fashion advice from him, I'm the reason he dresses that way! I told him how to dress!
Have you told him that you're just as violent as your aunt too?!
Tumblr media
(They continued bickering until Sasha put a stop to them both—or, more correctly, Vincent was taken away against his will as Sasha carried him on his shoulder, effectively leaving Mateo to finally do this job.)
Um... Sorry about that. You didn't have to see that, haha.
Anyway! If you ask me, I definitely had a blast at our party! It was just unfortunate that we weren't able to post videos and other photos besides the ones we have with our Little Wonders since we needed consent from the parents and the, well, sitter after party is, um... not really available to be disclosed to the public (let's just say that depressed adults are involved). But enough about that, let's talk about my lil' homies!
First things first, I love Pokémon. I still have my original Gameboy cartridges for Pokemon Blue and Red, I collect the cards, I've played all of them and I have very strong team compositions in all of my games! I thought that maybe the kids would like Pokémon and so I dressed up as one of my childhood heroes—Ash Ketchum! No kidding, I cried so hard when I watched him finally become the world champion from the episode from last year. There's news about the series finally ending, too! So it felt appropriate to give a tribute to my own personal hero.
I was planning to bring my very own 'pokémon' to the party (it was just a bunch of my exotic pets, nothing much) because the kids wanted to see them but I realized that, well, the kids are very rowdy and it would be hard to bring them. So instead I made little pokéballs for everyone!
Tumblr media
As for my favorite buddies, I like to think that I'm putting them here because they're fun and chill to hang with! They're absolutely cute, passionate, and adorable, no one can resist these little troublemakers even if they make a mistake.
I absolutely adore Tala's sass and liveliness. She would talk to me about the Filipino telenovelas her moms would watch with her and I love her enthusiasm about learning about her culture this way. She's quite the conversationalist, too, as she never runs out of stories!
Jamie was livid when I gave him the pokéball I made and I know mi hombrecito would appreciate what I gave him. He reminded me of me due to his obsession with the action figure and cartoon character KAY/O. He's quite the lively and imaginative kid and I couldn't be more honored to have a little space in the little guy's head everyday and every night when he falls asleep.
And of course, who's going to forget lil' Sunwoo Byrne? Kid's got a huge appetite, she absolutely loves the sandwiches I made her before! I do think it's cute that both her and Jamie are fans of Pokémon given that they bond over watching cartoons and the like! Makes me feel secure knowing that there are still kids who loved cartoons as much as I did—do, since I still watch them now. They're just fun to be around with, you get me?
And unfortunately I was the last one in this batch. Maybe in the future we'll get to have another one to be included in posts like this? I don't know, but this was certainly fun to write!

Pokemon the Anime: I love Ash Ketchum but...
Hi, friends. Fun fact about me: I love Pokemon! And I loved the anime! To me, Pokemon is a part of my childhood that I will always cherish dearly and it was one of the first animes I got into. Looking back on it, it still holds up, but there is one thing that I have come to realize about it. We need to talk about Ash Ketchum...
Tumblr media
Now, let me make it clear that I love Ash Ketchum. I think he’s adorable, funny and his passionate energy rubs off on you in all of the right ways. Plus, he is passionate without being obsessed and still cares enough about people and doing things right that he has a heroic streak. However... he is not a good fit as a main character because while we root for him and love him, his story is too linear, his character development is minimal, we all knew he was going to win in the end and honestly, seeing his story unfold all the time got very dull. Plus, we never really got to know Ash as a character. Just to give you an example, in ALL of the anime’s run, we never find out who his dad is/was or what his mom does for a living. In other words, he is an MC who never really develops beyond his professional skills and never really get to know. We know more about Team Rocket (Jessie, James and Meowth) than we do about Ash. To me, he would have worked better as a secondary character not an main one. In fact, this lack of details and repetitive formula is why I eventually stopped watching the anime. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy Ash won in the end, but... his story took way too long and got dull. The character who would have main a great MC for the anime is someone who did undergo a lot of development, maturing and more.
Gary Oak. Now hear me out...
Tumblr media
The Pokemon anime is essentially a tournament anime series where the standard formula is that the MC goes in and comes out the winner. However, Gary would have been unique, compelling and memorable for many reasons if HE was the MC.
First off, unlike most MC’s of this genre of anime, Gary is initially not likeable. He is egotistical, unkind, rude and a big bully. I remember than as a girl, I hated Gary and used to wish his grandpa, Prof. Oak, would ground him. However, as the series progressed, so did he. He softened his behaviour, learned humility and let his rivalry with Ash go which freed him emotionally and allowed him to grow up. While he still has a mischievous and competitive streak, he doesn’t get mean about it nor is he a showboat. And he dropped the personal cheerleading squad. He now seeks to better himself rather than constantly having his ego stroked which is something really refreshing and enjoyable to experience. I can’t really say his journey was a redemption story. It was a growing up story and a tale that reminds us that we all had our phases as kids, but we grow out of them.
Tumblr media
Secondly, as I stated before, Gary let his rivalry with Ash go and became better for it. When he did, he realized, his calling wasn’t to be a trainer, but a researcher and he was actually really good at it. Honestly, it was this turning point that made me realize that Gary’s story was more interesting than Ash’s and I really wanted to see more of his story. In fact, I also found myself wishing we saw more of his story before that turning point kind of like Ashoka Tano’s from Star Wars, but unlike her, we were deprived of that. I would even argue that this was a reoccurring flaw in the Pokemon anime series: they never answered the questions everyone kept asking and never let us get to know the true MCs. The point is, I don’t know of any other tournament anime where the rival decided to graciously step down and turn their attention towards their true passion. Now... imagine if the MC did this. I know Pokemon is a tournament anime, but it is also an anime about Pokemon first. Gary should have gotten his own spin-off anime simply because he is the most unique rival there is in this kind of setting: he quit and was better for it.
Tumblr media
Thirdly, having the show concentrate on him would have given us a chance to get to know the other MCs more and FINALLY answer a lot of the questions that to this day are still left unanswered. It’s very clear that the Oaks and Ketchums are very close the way the Burns and Greene family are close on Rescue Bots. I really enjoyed seeing how close the two families were and how Prof. Oak was like a father figure to Ash and a sweet grandpa to Gary. Also, Prof. Oak himself is an interesting and entertaining character. To this day, we still don’t know who Mrs. Oak was or who Gary’s parents are. Or who Mr. Ketchum was. It is a shame to me that these blanks were never filled because it is implied that they were great people and these missing pieces would explain why these characters are the way they are.
Anyway, this all just my opinion and as a rare treat, here is my fan theory about Prof. Oak’s wife, Mr. Ketchum and Gary’s missing parents... And I really want to say this first because this fan theory always made me mad, but I will try to say it nicely, but firmly.
Prof. Oak is NOT Ash’s father nor is it possible for him to be because Nintendo would never allow such a disturbing thing. And because of the Professor and Mrs. Ketchum’s age difference, it would imply that Gary is Ash’s uncle while being the same age as him. That is sick and wrong on so many levels and not something they would ever want on Pokemon and we already SHOULD know from the start that Prof. Oak can’t be Ash’s dad because has black hair.
Tumblr media
Professor Oak is a redhead and so is his mom. And their relationship is not romantic now either. It is that between two good friends. If it is anything beyond that, I think Prof. Oak may see Delia as the daughter he never had. Same goes with Giovanni. He cannot be Ash’s dad because he looks nothing like him.
Tumblr media
Plus, Ash has two distinguishing marks on his face that his mom doesn’t have which means he got that, his hair and olive skin tone from his dad who had all of these features. My fan theory is that Mrs. Delia Ketchum is a widow and her husband is no longer with us. Plain and simple. He was obviously a good man and a good husband who left a good impression on Ash, but I think he died most likely of disease while he was very young.
As for Mrs. Oak... Agatha is NOT Prof. Oak’s ex-wife because if she was, we would have always known it and be treated like a relative. Once a family member is revealed, there’s no point in hiding it so the anime always came clean when it came to that at least, but the most we got out of Agatha is that she was an old rival of Prof Oak which means that is all she is. Period.
I think the good Professor is divorced on bad terms considering he never speaks of his wife and has no ring which from experience, I can tell you is often a tell tale sign that you were once married, but it ended badly. As for Gary’s parents, I think that knowing Nintendo, their state is simple: they’re alive, but career driven people where they aren’t home very often so they left caring for the kids to Prof. Oak and Mrs. Oak (if she was alive then). Nothing dramatic or over the top. Just simple and short like that. Also, I think it is safe to say that the Oak family is well off (including the ex-Mrs. Oak) considering they all live so well.
Tumblr media
Finally, how does Giovanni have ties to the Ketchum and Oak family? Well, Giovanni is in fact old and close to Prof. Oak’s age. His mom had him young, and while he is rich enough to afford facials that make him appear young, if you take a really good look at his face, he has wrinkles, a receding hairline and his face has lost some of its fullness which implies some sagging. My fan theory is that he was once rivals with Prof. Oak in their youth and Mr. Ketchum is one of the few people who managed to beat Giovanni in a Pokemon Battle.
Like I said, this series is made for kids. It wouldn’t include adult theme dramatic elements like that. I admit some of the characters have exaggerated and weird backstories with some drama, but it never becomes dirty, adult or something you would find in a trashy soap opera.

Young Jeremy Bradshaw fanart! (Bridgewater my beloved)
“Dad? Can you hear me? Are you out there?”
Here’s my latest Bridgewater fanart! I wanted to explore more young!Jeremy Bradshaw; especially as in S2 he mentioned having been tried Wicca when he was younger; so it struck me directly — what if he tried witchcraft overall? And my mind unraveled to that point to now 👌
If you want more explanation about the fanart and my headcanons about Jeremy you can click on read more (because again details are detailing way too much)✌️
So let’s first start with young Jeremy, as he admitted to believe, I wanted to show how he tried to explore all the possibilities and I totally see him as a little bit of a rebellious teen as he is still in denial and as he is aching for the come back of Thomas. That’s why he tries to contact him with the pendulum, he wants to believe.
And I thought how Jeremy would express himself in this situation? That’s why I gave him black nail polish, an earring, and you can’t see it much but he has some black eyeshadow, to me it was his way to express himself.
As a way to express himself too, on the picture framed on the left in the red frame, it’s him as a teen with his mother and his step-dad, as I heard in S1 EP01 that Jeremy’s mother said dad to talk about the guy and Jeremy corrected her, I thought about that grudge must have been lasting for a huge while, so that’s why he put a post it and crossed it as well, because he has always refused to replace Thomas in a way, and he looks quite uncomfy on the picture too.
However, another picture is framed: baby Jeremy with Thomas Bradshaw and this one is fully visible. It’s probably one of his only picture with his dad so he cherished it a lot. (My headcanon is that Jeremy had the film camera and took a picture by accident as he was excited to see the camera, and when they developed it they kept the picture as it was too adorable, and I love Jeremy with his one little tooth 🥺🥹)
He also cherishes the letter his dad has written to him for his fifth birthday, so just before his disappearance. As I don’t know if you will be able to read my handwriting here is my transcript:
“Dear Jeremy, Son, l know I promised to be here today, but *scribbled words which are “you know”* work is work sometimes. I’m sorry. You will probably understand later. You have plenty of birthdays to come, so I promise I’ll make it up to you. Take care of your mom ok? Happy 5th birthday, proud of you, x Dad”
Which makes it even more hurtful because he never got to celebrate another birthday with his son. (Yes I suffer, you suffer with me /lh)
For the context of this fanart, I thought it would be in the year 1995, so Jeremy would be 20 years old and it would match. So I then looked for Gameboy games which were out in North America before 1995 because I really like to be accurate, and I put Batman first because it’s a nod to Misha Collins’ role in Gotham Knights as he plays Harvey Dent! (Btw as an other Misha nod, I did the bed blanket pink for the famous pic of Misha with his pink blankie but that’s really anecdotal but that’s what I enjoy). I really wanted Jeremy to have Pokemon Red/Blue but unfortunately, it was out in Japan in 96’ and then 98’ in NA/EUR and import at the time was so-so, but as he likes myths and folklore he would love to catch pocket monsters for sure. (Maybe a next time??)
I put another paper taped to the wall which is just the Bridgewater triangle with the locations of each angles of it, I like to think that Jeremy was trying to find more information on it, that was his way to have a visual reminder of it all.
When it comes to the X-Files… because his t-shirt is some accurate 90s vintage t-shirt X-Files merch with “the truth is out there” written on it (I like details way too much), I think it is time to explain why TXF is so present in my full Bridgewater fanarts (the Big Blue mug reference to Quagmire 3x22 of txf, or even the I Want To Believe poster which is present usually in Mulder’s office ) not only the show is really important to me, but I really found the vibes of it in Bridgewater, and then it struck me, Jeremy had been Scully coded in the beginning of the S1 to then go to a sort of epiphany realising that things might end up real. But I truly don’t think that it stops here, because to me — we come to the headcanons — Jeremy has watched the X-Files as it aired. It started in 1993, he had 17 years old, he was not feeling good, he wanted to believe, who wanted to believe as well? Fox Mulder.
And it’s easy to draw the parallels: Jeremy has lost his father nobody cares anymore and he is only aching as he had been hoping for him to come back, his father disappeared in strange circonstances in the Bridgewater Triangle. Mulder has lost his little sister, Samantha, whom he was persuaded as a kid to have seen getting abducted by aliens, and everybody has lost hope on finding her, it’s easy to assume that Jeremy saw himself in a way in Mulder. Their seek for the truth is important but even when his belief starts to crumble I think he is still attached to the show and starts to find himself in the character of Scully, scientific and down to earth before anything else because it hurts less, and it’s his trauma response. But I think he ends up with the IWTB poster in his house as an adult as no matter what, he still wants to believe into the hope of finding Thomas again although he doesn’t believe it anymore.
For the witchcraft part he also has a tigers eye stone bracelet because it’s supposed to have strong properties of protection, and the pendulum is in amethyst as it’s supposed to bring soothing energy and good vibes — which might be useful to get contact with Thomas.
Then we come to my favourite fanart “plotwist” which I’m super proud of: the incense behind him as it’s burning is spelling “Jeremy?” which is a supposition that his contact with Thomas was indeed working — the veil hum hum cough cough — however he could not see it so not believe it, whereas ironically, the cone incense in front of him was burning normally, so this “séance” not working might have crumbled his beliefs into the supernatural too which put them into more into the rank of myths instead of real tangible possible things (and we can see his interests into myths and folklore already as the three books he has on his shelves are about it!)
As a ref of young!Jeremy Bradshaw I took refs on pics of Misha in his twenties 😭✌️
I hope you enjoyed my fanart (it took me roughly 13 hours this time) and my little explanation and thank you for reading it all! Lots of love 🫶

25apcsb enjoyers listen to me talk about(/kind of review it for you? except not really because i will never say anything bad about this production) my favorite production of the show!
ever.
MAD theater i LOVE YOU.
i saw their production live (the first time ive ever seen this show live or a production by this company) and it was AMAZING. this is my favorite cast for this show hands down and let me show you some stuff and why you should love them, too !!
(IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ME TALK ABOUT IT/WOULD RATHER SEE THE CAST, I HAVE PICTURES AND A VIDEO NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE POST!!)
here are all of the spellers! arent they the cutest :3 they all portray their characters PERFECTLY, and im currently on a hunt to see all of them in more performances because WOW . i know the point of the show is for it to be obvious these arent preteens playing them but all three of the girls were so cute honestly id trust them if they said they were it was so good. im gonna talk about all of them too !;;
Tumblr media
their leaf was obsessed with sonic (sporting a nice sonic cape), and had a very good dynamic with every character and audience member he interacted with ! he say by me when he was eliminated and we talked a bit, and met his actor after the show. ALSO, playing logainne's dad with his soda and being the soccer mom ever is 100% approved by me . the way he effortlessly exchanged between the two roles was . AH.
olive was PERFECT. i cried at the i love you song so bad her little pom poms and im just mhejkn, her fidgeting with the strings of her cat hoodie whenever she was nervous was a great detail just small things like that
CHIP. chip chip chip. boy scout of the year, and JESUS ON A SCOOTER. he was so sassy and his little shenanigans made this character so good hed bite his lip and do little faces like that all the time he never broke id trust this man with my life
barfee , so nerdy i cannot resist this guy. he looks like he smells like hamburger and you know what? perfect. meeting him afterwards, he said that his shoes (for magic foot) were glow up sketchers and both of them were supposed to glow but only ONE did (the other broke) a few nights before and what a champ because he just went with it and CHANGED THE FOOT HE WAS USING to match the one that glew. i wouldve had a breakdown but go richard brown. through the whole show his bad accent and wet dog looks intrigued me
marcy was literally perfection, she had ME stressin out for her. i was sitting by the actresses' grandma and she was so fond of her its so cute. her singing voice is AMAZING there is a clip online i know of its on the theatre's tiktok but to hear that in person when its the song that got me into the show was wow. i relate to her very much and she made this character so personal even with just being in bits and pieces of the show
and finally, logainne. god she was SO FUNNY. the interactions between her and her dads, as well as the other spellers, were hilarious but also so real feeling. her actress, taylor,'s dedication to this role really showed and it worked awesome in the character. her appearance and outfit is the BEST for logainne btw??? no ones talking bout that its so so her ...,
^ also since i mentioned leaf's water bottle, logainne had a pride one + barfee had a pokemon cup. i think olive had one but if she did it was in the bleachers so i couldn't see, but i love how all of their bottles (yes even something just SMALL LIKE THAT) represent their characters the details in this show are sjsjd
here is a picture with the adults too! ill talk abt those three next;;
Tumblr media
rona. again, had me crying in the stands. she was adorable the whole show though, with her little quips and interchanges !! her + panch were so funny and also shes GORGEOUS?? but her soccer mom teacher type deal is exactly what i picture rona as.
panch reminded me very very much of ron swanson. he was so sarcastic and hes just such a big guy with all these kids it played off so well !! i love so many different interpretations of panch like twink panch and butch panch, but i think this burly panch with his soft, creepy side for rona was my favorite !
and now, lastly, mitch. HE KEPT BUSTING OUT AS THE SIDE CHARACTER WITH THE AMAZINF SINGING VOICE AND IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD EVERY TIME ??? mitch himself was so so awesome, the tattoos and drug apparell (i am struggling spelling that) fit so well. and also, he just looks so mitch mahoney doesnt he?? like. the character fits the actor so well id be shocked seeing anything else from them because mitch was the perfect role... again, his brief dynamic with all the kids is so goofy
the set;;
Tumblr media
it was so cute and the details in the posters on the wall were so childish it made me giggle. they even advertised their theatre's next production, which will be urinetown!! they had seats ON the stage (which is where i sat, naturally), which i think makes for a fun and realistic effect !! when the spellers were eliminated, theyd sit there (they had reserved spots) :3
its evident that all of the cast members had very good relatioships and play off that REALLY well
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
a little photo dump of them!! on the MAD theatre social medias, they have more and clips of them, too!! id definitely reccomend checking them out because the show's closed :3
overall; i have so much love for this cast and MORE PEOPLE NEED TO AS WELL!!! so here you go 😊😊

Fi! I just discovered a place called Caboose Village, where they took a bunch of different old train cars and converted them into tiny homes/hotel rooms! I get the feeling the twins would love that place and would always want to go there! Maybe s/o surprises them by taking them there.
omg i looked it up and it seems so
emmet piece since i feel like i have been ignoring my boy as of late, may do a separate ingo piece later
cw: fluff
----
Emmet was a busy person at times.
His work would seemingly pile up at inopportune times, annoying both you and him. A date planned that both of you had been looking forward to for weeks suddenly would be impossible due to an emergency at the station, a long weekend you had scheduled was needing to be moved around because Ingo was injured and Emmet could no longer take off.
So, when you saw the train-themed retreat out near Lentimas, it was an instant book, but then you grew paranoid. Could Emmet get time off for your trip? You asked him about, and he said he should have been able to, yet you know everything always came with an asterisk and a shining 'subject to change' beside it. Still, you wanted to go. Badly.
Emmet's eyes had lit up when you showed him where you booked a trip to. His mouth opened is a gasp while he stared at your phone screen eagerly. Its placement out near the mountains also allowed for a good area to train his team and explore with you. Everything about this trip seemed perfect. Which is why you grew more and more worried about something to happen as the day to depart moved closer. You knew it was paranoia, yet it would not go, no matter how many times Emmet reassured you.
“Brother said even if his foot was broken, he'd still let me go,” the younger twin said with his usual smile, “He is a biiiit envious of our trip, though.”
When the day finally came, nothing horrible or life-threatening occurred, so the trip was still a-go.
You hugged Emmet tightly enough to likely cause injury, though.
~
Having never been in the area of Lentimas, you felt a bit stunned by the natural beauty of the mountainous area. Sure, most of the trees were without greenery and there was a blistering heat in the air, but the vibrant colours of the brick-toned mountain were hypnotising. Emmet took long strides in front of you as you both headed to the area where the retreat was located. You watched as Camerupt stood carefully guarding Numels and Trapinchs burrowing in and out of the earth with excitement.
Seeing pokemon not native to the region in Unova was always an invigorating thing. You grabbed Emmet's hand as you walked with your arms intertwined. He tilted his head at you and gave a wide smile. “Haha, sorry that we are having to walk so far, but our lines don't really go to Lentimas...” he apologised, “Thankfully Skyla agreed to fly us.” The fly in had been a bit unexpected, yet not necessarily unpleasant. Elesa's friendship with a fellow gym leader had come in quite handy.
“It's nice,” you shook your head, “I know you would have been hassled by fans and trainers on a ride here.”
“Mmm… Probably,” he nodded.
The sun was beginning to fade behind Reversal Mountain as you both finally arrived at the retreat. Emmet perked up instantly at the sight alongside you. The check-in area was a caboose, where the man at the front desk was dressed in a mock Depot Agent uniform. Emmet looked a bit shocked for a moment. You snickered. Speaking to him, you quickly confirmed your details and received the key to your car. Just as you were both going to leave, the man called out to you.
“Ah, hey, you wouldn't be from Anville, would you?” he asked with a gruff voice, “You look just like a guy I used to have trains worked on by when I was a Depot Agent.”
“That was my dad,” Emmet responded easily, “He's verrrry old now. Mom made him retire.”
“… Ah, I wondered what happened to him,” he scratched his cheek, “Actually… Aren't you a professional battler or something? I swear I saw your face on the news.” Emmet's grin told you that you needed to step in before he started a battle. He was not keeping you away from a nice bath in an air-conditioned room.
“Emmy,” you tugged his hand, “Resist.” He pouted at you, then waved a polite farewell to the man with the answer that he was Subway Boss. The guy's eyes shot wide while you walked away to your car.
You could see Emmet's intrigue as the door opened to reveal a normal room inside. “Awww,” he whined and entered, “I was hoping it would be modelled after an overnight passenger train… There's not many of those left.” Still, you watched as he admired the walls and windows. “To see a caboose like this… I may need to see about a new home…” You could tell he was enjoying himself despite the comment. The door was shut and locked behind you. Your bags were sat near the bed as you gazed around yourself.
It was roomier than you expected. Emmet suddenly was back at your side as he brought you into a hug. It was tight and a bit suffocating, but the feeling of him peppering a few kisses to your cheeks was a wonderful one. “Thank you, darling!” he cooed, “I know we are going to have a wonderful vacation.”
“I'm glad, Em,” you pecked a quick kiss of your own to his lips, “As soon as I saw this place, I thought of you.” An excited giggle came from him as he moved you towards the bed.
“Verrrry good,” Emmet's voice was a rumble, “Lets enjoy our first night.”
Ah.
You sighed as he pinned you to the bed.
An Emmet move.

⋆·˚ ༘ * All About Aries .ೃ࿐
As people I have two that I use as a practical and not just theoretical view to talk about this sign. One was a friend in high school. The other is my mother.
Their general energy is of, well, pure fire energy. Everyone needs to deal with their own Aries energy and nowadays it is difficult because our gender view is sick, in the same way we hate the aggressives and control we want hot and sexy bodys who scream gym work.. All of that is masculine energy!
When I write down in the post I need to put what specialists and the most prominent astro community says and thinks because I’m responsible for every word that I write down, but here I always claim that is just my point of view. So let me say something: to me there’s no undeveloped aspect! In my point of view we learn and understand the world better, for Aries they are aggressive in their childhood, in adolescence,... wow, I’m not going to even start to talk about it and in adulthood they “start” to control it. But that doesn’t mean it’s never going to be aggressive again. For me the undeveloped part will always be our “Shadow Self” that will emerge when we most need to defend ourselves! The undeveloped is our deepest instinct and we need to look at it as a Digivolution and not a Pokemon evolution (if you get what I mean).
Aries show us courage, they do things when they are not certain and with some mistakes, but they believe that it can be fixed in the middle of the way, when we miss that part we only move when the fear is too much.
They love the competition and do it without too many plans and step by step, they live with the slogan “Just do it”,they love to play and fight and after that life continues,without that we can only see people as rivals and we never let anything go.
Trust and sincerity is a must, it is better to come with a horrible truth than a good lie. My mom hates lies, trust me, it is better to tell her what happened. Everyone can and will lie sometimes, but they really try to avoid that. They can be seen as rude and are something that must be developed by time. I know that most of the time people actually don’t want to understand and they will listen to what they want and not what you actually say, but if that’s going to give you less headaches it is better to try, sometimes is better to give a little hand. But yes Aries, forever will have someone saying that you are rude because you don’t talk in their proper way, and yes, sometimes is you who need to change so you can achieve what you want.
They have vitality and that’s why all of us need to do some exercises, the body must move and without that anyone can get sick,but they… they get sad. A persons who forget that get a flu, an Aries who forget that get tuberculosis
(just a example, please read AND INTERPRETER everything before writing something dumb, you guys don’t have idea of how much comments that I see that the person dismiss themselves, I question myself “Really? I should respond that s***?” (I don’t)).
Spontaneity is another factor in their world, putting your head on things without thinking too much is something we should also do from time to time. A phase used here that is theirs is “give the face to slap”, we need to go front and try anyway. Without that we always fear failure and never give first steps.
And finally, strength itself, or we could say desire, they just want things, nothing less nothing more. Too much strength can lead to aggressiveness, but as everything that was in that list, always depends on the moment. Day by day we need to avoid that, but if we are once again at war I think that this is awesome.
The first sign, Aries is the one who starts things. Everything. Pioneers of any area that they like, are the pathfinders of the universe. That’s why I have no problem connecting Aries with primitive man, after all it is our first vision of Homo sapiens, the human itself.
One of the prominent aspects of Aries is taking the leadership and they do it naturally, being more specific in the planet part, here I can say that they take that naturally when there’s no one doing the job, the problem here is that no one wants to do anything, everything is in chaos and when the Aries pick the control they say that they are controlling everyone. Is it pretty lame how people want to do nothing but when someone starts to do that they get angry? That’s why sometimes an Aries takes the blame for something that has been done years before.. Because after they left no one does anything.
They are the ones that like to start a conversation in the middle of the bus stop, in the hospital and like small talk. They have talked with a lot of people, but not necessarily have many friends or contacts. Normally they are the ones who call for the Recall section of an industry when the product is defective. My mom did that after receiving a message of defective dolls and they were recalled. I receive more dolls.
Being in that position too, they are pretty bossy, childish and hotheaded, no matter the gender they are more aggressive than others. That can lead to a lot of headaches for others. The most idiot will never do a proper plan and try to win an Aries in the front line, yes they will lose, the most smart ones learned after a time that you need to hit them indirectly and make they hang themselves with their own rope, they listen to them own words not yours, eating them around the edges is the best way to transform your goal in the Aries goal. But well, that’s just a trick after some years with Aries, do as you want.
That child part of them never dies and they look for love in that way too. Pure with their hearts they want physical affection the most, going after that to gifts, quality time and favors.
The fire element screams to Aries the need for adventure, creativity, leadership and what people don’t talk about too much, faith. Fire talks about our spirit and our motivation and in Aries show these aspects in our ego and inner child, because of that these people will search to fulfill needs that they have in the past that they couldn’t have.
The cardinal aspect talks about the ability to start seasons, ( I cannot talk about spring because well.. Here Aries season is fall, so astrology did not say that the southern hemisphere also exists..) here is the desire to start things in the middle of nothing, the flowers who grew in the middle of the asphalt the the cardinal energy of Aries.
Ruled by Mars, Lord of war and battles, they look for a disaster too, Aries is happy when chaos is happening and they can fix things, not when everything is calm and soft. They love to be warriors and they want to be heroes. Also they look for love just like Mars looks for Venus, they want to be embraced and carried. And are those moments that we finally can see peace in the world.
The suit of wands talk with them as the need of being the hero once that is the biggest dream of that suit. In The Emperor we see the desire to conquer, look for more and yes, to sow things (Mars rules agriculture too), The Empress only cares for the seeds that The Emperor planted. Aries show us the desire for a better world, even though it means always living in war and dry places so that others have the comfort of living in a beautiful and flowery place. With The Tower we see that following nature’s rules is needed too and listening to your instintings and desires are part of our life.
Connecting with their sibling signs, the fire ones need to learn how to mature their carnal desire to a real desire, putting themselves first but not destroying people in the process. They need to learn to rule for everyone and not be just a dictator of their own dreams because for them everyone should work for them so their own dream comes true, the cardinals ones needs to give space to the others, with each element they learn that others can make their own decisions, talk and express in their own way and take their own time, for pure Aries wait the action of the other is a sacrifice. And it lost brother Scorpio, they show a huge desire but Aries normally talk what they want directly.
For Male Aries this aspect shows up as the alpha of the world, people normally can’t destroy their self esteem, their motto is “Just to it” and energy drink/ WHEY is something that they already have used. Loving exercises, they can go to the gym just like cross fit and martial arts, the important thing is to move the body. That’s why they can fall easily in the desirable list. Just like that, they can have sexist thoughts and nowadays don’t feel well with their own masculinity, because everyone wants a sexy and hot guy, but their other aspects that are rude sometimes, being bossy and more incisive are wrong and should be buried alive.
For Female Aries this aspect shows a more incisive aspect, being rulers and exhaling that Alpha Aura aspect. They also like masculine practices, but sometimes choose to just watch since it is seen as wrong to women. They feel good when their body is good, without that it is kinda hard to be happy in their own skin, for them appearance is something important to their self esteem.

Opening Post:
Tumblr media
It’s 1990, we open with Kangaskhan (Kanga for short) and her baby looking quite peeved.
“So you’re supposed to be my new guardian? Let’s hope you’re better than the last.” Hints that she’s a problem and almost refuses help altogether. 
“Ironic, sending a human to protect me when humans have been the ones to take away from me.”
“It’s alright. I’m not a fan of humans either” the human replies. We’re gonna call him Arthur (Art)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Over the course of the open inbox it’s revealed:
The weapon Art carries is from his time in the Kanto Johto war. He hasn’t fired his service weapon in almost a decade
Kanga and her baby are very much self sufficient and Kanga feels that this is an empty gesture from the people in charge
No matter how they try to evade him, Kanga and the baby are always chased down by Art because he’s that good at his job
Team Rocket is very much on the rise and is starting to get eyes on the safari zone
Art is very distrusting of humans, ESPECIALLY trainers
The baby goes a little bit behind her mom’s back to find out more about Art because she was told a lot of things but this is the first time she’s learning about things on her own
Plot point 1: 
Kanga and the baby get into actual trouble
Art goes through great lengths to get them back to the safari zone but at the cost of his health 
Even still, he refuses to fire his rifle
He’s badly hurt and taken to a hospital. 
Kanga has this nagging feeling that this guy isn’t telling her everything so she demands to go with him.
Open inbox:
Art is fine and he makes it clear he’s been through worse
She questions him, others question him, he slowly opens up:
Tadaaaa backstory/flashback time
Tumblr media
Art was a “handler,” an officer who sent pokemon in waves to attack Johto to varying success
He was born in Kanto, but others distrusted him for obviously not having a lineage in the country
That pressure pushed him to send his most trusted companion, a Marowak, to his death. That Marowak's skull is what adorns his helmet.
He would’ve been the most decorated officer in the Kanto Johto war if he hadn’t thrown his medals away in disgust
He was a key figure in a coup that is responsible for the rise of the current Kanto government
He is still so dangerous that he’s considered an “Operator” (think of a trainer who fights along side their pokemon in perfect harmony) without having any pokemon under his command
He never wants to fire his weapon again.
Tumblr media
Plot Point 2: 
Kanga and baby go back to safari zone while he heals. She’s all “well damn ok I guess this dude is at least trying to make things better” and slowly over time they become friends
Eventually, they develop a working bond and help kickstart the Kanto Preservation Operators Union (KPOU) with help from other people who are very much like Art.
The baby grows up and is anxious to see the rest of the world, Kanga lets her go with a tearful goodbye. She tells him that she’ll send letters to Art, especially. He feels accomplished for what he’s done.
After their time together, Art finally comes to forgive himself and starts to become a better person, coming out of his shell to make friends with more of the safari zone and even other humans who have like minded views.
Kanga starts to feel trustful again, inspired by the trailblazing that her daughter set out before her since the baby was the first to reach out to Art instead of her.
Tumblr media
Plot Point 2:
Team Rocket attack again, but this time, they actually want to take out the newly started KPOU so that they can cause trouble without impunity. 
Art finally fires his rifle. This situation is no longer about him. Team Rocket is the embodiment of everything he hates about his past, and he won’t let the KPOU dissolve before it can do any good. With gunpowder and steel, instead of fighting for a wrong cause, he fights for his happiness. 
Since team rocket know know he���s dangerous, they jump his ass with almost everything they have. He’s almost overrun but Kanga is the one to save him in the nick of time. Together, they fend them off 
Tumblr media
Epilogue:
Done via article or written docu-series moment. The KPOU is a resounding success, one of the greatest success stories being the restoration of the Lapras population. Its founders are still living strong, doing better things by the day
The inbox is open for one last time, a final send off is had, and the askblog is over

A short story:
"I didn't spend months raising you to get this! Now go! I don't need you anymore!"
From across the park, N could hear another Trainer yelling. He turned and saw the Trainer, glaring at a Sylveon. The Pokemon was shaking all over, and its ears were folded back.
Why? The Sylveon asked. I did everything you asked me to, and you turn your back on me?
The other Trainer, a young boy probably about Nate's age, was already walking away. The Sylveon tried following, but the boy stopped and turned around. "I said, GO AWAY!" he shouted.
I'm sorry....
The Sylveon turned tail and slowly walked the opposite direction.
A voice in N's head told him, " This is why people and Pokemon can never live together."
Shut up. That's Ghetsis talking, N told himself. Just because there are some bad people doesn't mean everyone's like that. Most of the people I've met here in Kalos are nice.
Still, something had to be done. This Sylveon, now just a few meters away from him, had loved its old Trainer so much, only to be rejected. And all for its appearance. I'm going to find someone who DOES appreciate Sylveon.
N pulled a berry out of his bag and held it out. "Here, boy," he called to the Sylveon. "I've got some nice treats for you!"
Understandably, the Sylveon was nervous. Can't say I blame him.
"Oh, there you are! We've been looking for you!"
"Ummm... what are you doing?"
N looked up to see two teenagers standing nearby. "Oh, hey there, Calem, Serena," he said. "Do you think you could keep it down a bit?"
"Sure," Calem lowered his voice. "But why?"
N told both of them what he had seen a few minutes earlier. How an Eevee had just evolved into Sylveon-- a Pokemon that could only evolve through a strong bond-- only for its former Trainer to reject it for being "too girly."
"Oh, come on! That's just mean!" Serena exclaimed. "Which way did that Trainer go? I would like to have a word with him."
"Serena, no," Calem said, clamping one hand on her shoulder. "We are not fistfighting anyone. That will not solve anything."
"Fine," Serena let out a sigh. "We'll do it your way."
"Anyway--" Calem turned back to N-- "Meowstic and I collected some extra berries if you need some."
"Of course!" said N. "I'm sure Sylveon will love them!"
For several minutes, the trio-- plus Calem's Meowstic and Serena's Talonflame-- patiently waited. That's about all we can do, N thought. Just wait. Sylveon has to approach us on his own if he's going to trust us.
The sun was setting by the time Sylveon had gotten the courage to approach N and his friends.
You three, the Pokemon's voice echoed in N's mind. You. Will not hurt?
No, we won't hurt you, N reassured Sylveon. But I saw you were hurt earlier today, and I wanted to help.
You. Understand me.
Yes. I can hear the voices of Pokemon. Including you.
Sylveon came a bit closer. Food? For me? He sniffed the berries in front of him.
Yes. For you. Eat as much as you want.
Sylveon did just that. He ate every last berry, then looked up expectantly. More?
"I'm sorry, I don't have any more food," said N. "But if you're still hungry, we could go over to Serena's place. Is that okay with you, Serena?"
"Sure," she answered. "Mom will be happy to have you over. We haven't had guests in quite a while."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Calem asked. "Let's go!"
This place. Is it warm? Good food? Kind people? Sylveon looked in Serena's direction.
"He's asking if your house is warm and if the food is good," N translated. "And if there are nice people."
"All of that, and more," Serena promised. "My house is the warmest, coziest house in Vaniville Town."
And so they set off home, with a new friend following them.
