Hi, Viewer Discretion:

This AU is about a nonexistent fictional mental health condition. There is imagery of straitjackets and other restraints, as well as mention of discrimination based off of health conditions. If you are uncomfortable with this content then please feel free to click off and enjoy something else. Thank you.

Dressing Sketch

Uniform Sketches

League Party sketch

Sketch dump for Battle Addict! This art has been gathering dust for a few months 😭 only just remembered to post it here.

These sketches are from Ver. 3 of Battle Addict, aka Battle Addict Twins, where both of them get the HCCM diagnosis.

The base idea for Battle Addict is that while most people enjoy Pokémon battling, there comes a certain point where one's love/obsession for battle starts bleeding into the rest of their life and becoming detrimental to their everyday life. This is usually called Combative Mania (CM), which is present in a large part of the population (40%-60%) hence why battling is so popular and so many different forms of it are made to keep people satisfied. The extreme form is Hyper-Competitive Combative Mania (HCCM), wherein a person spends so much time and energy for battles that it starts to affect their physical/mental health as well as their social life, since they neglect them in favour of their obsession.

Often what divides CM patients from HCCM patients is what they're willing to give up for battling and the extent of their knowledge regarding battles. CM patients usually only have a casual interest in battling or just enjoy the thrill of battling, but operate normally and have other interests outside of battle. They have basic to intermediate knowledge of battling, and can often partake in research or battles.

HCCM patients will often forgo food, water, sleep, school, work, and relationships in favour of researching and competing in battles. It is the only thing they find interest in and they devote most of their time towards it. Patients often memorize entire charts of statistics and different strategies and counterstrategies for battle, with different patients often having a certain subject they specialize in. Most patients with HCCM are unaware that they have it, they either assume that they have CM or that they are completely normal and just enjoy Pokémon battles. They often go into fields that work directly with researching Pokémon or battles, such as professors, scientists, gym leaders, elite four members, league workers, battle facility operators, and so on.

Ingo and Emmet do not know they have HCCM. They engage with battle and researching battle in a way that they think is typical for a hobbyist. Ingo tends to read on academic papers, textbooks, and study guides regarding the statistics and capabilities of Pokémon, whereas Emmet takes a more hands-on approach in studying Pokémon anatomy and battle strategy. Ingo often charts and studies natures, EVs, IVs, stat spreads, abilities, moves, and their properties. Emmet sketches anatomical diagrams and studies of Pokémon, including skeletal structure, musculature, organ systems, and physical appearance, highlighting pressure points in the body for executing the most damage and for keeping his own Pokémon protected. He also tends to read into psychological studies as well as conducting his own long term tests to predict a person's strategy in different situations. The two feed into each other's interests, teaching the other of their own discoveries and celebrating breakthroughs together. As a result, their total knowledge of battling is immense, which led to them becoming Subway Bosses straight out of college.

The two lived and worked fairly normally; they were very passionate about their work and it provided a way to sate their need for fighting on a regular basis, as well as giving them the space to experiment with different fighting styles and analyze others' strategies. Of course they still continue their studying outside of work, which often leads to them trying different methods or revisiting recorded battles to see how they could improve. The twins still believe their hours long discussions, piles of notes, and stacks of study materials littered around their house are perfectly fine, only stopping to reconsider after a comment from a coworker highlights how they must be crazy or incredibly disciplined to have as huge of a win : loss ratio as they do.

They end up taking the issue to a psychiatrist after dwelling on the idea for a few days, which is where they get diagnosed after a few tests and a description of their lifestyle and interests. Their case is considered moderate but could easily escalate into severe if left unchecked, though the main concern is whether this would make them a threat to other people due to their work and prominence. Obviously they don't want to lose their jobs, but this kind of thing could get them removed from the League Council if it got out, so they have to consider whether they share this information with their employers or not. Ingo thinks it'd be best to keep it under wraps, but Emmet fears that this could be used as blackmail and argues that they need to release this information themselves before someone else ruins their lives with it. Eventually they do take the diagnosis to the League Council and it gets out to the public.

Emmet takes the fall for Ingo, claiming his case is severe whereas Ingo's is mild so that the League Council will be more distracted with him to bother Ingo. That ends up with Emmet getting a new restraining uniform because the League no longer trusts him to handle himself in public based off his diagnosis. Neither of them are particularly pleased about this, but Emmet tells Ingo to look on the bright side. Emmet actually starts to find the jacket to be more of a little challenge than a hindrance, as it adds an extra level of difficulty to battles that he's been looking for, but Ingo still thinks it would be better if he hadn't had to wear it at all. This unfortunately extends to League parties where he has to be restrained to even be allowed entry, which he is much less happy about.

This post is getting ungodly long as it is but there's also a branch off of this concept where Ingo and Emmet land in Hisui together and Emmet's uniform looks like this. He deconstructed the uniform he was given to modify his jacket since by that point he had a bit of a sentimental connection to it and didn't want to just swap it out.

(Bonus fun fact: Ingo and Emmet decided to pull the biggest gag on the Pearl Clan when they first land by pretending to be one person under the alias Eki. Ingo is the polite one in the dark coat by day, and Emmet is the energetic one in the white coat by night. "Day Eki" is more popular with other Wardens and older clan members, whereas "Night Eki" is more popular with the village children and insomniacs.

The whole Warden Eki concept is technically its own AU in the background but it did originate from Battle Addict. Also I already drew Emmet in the Pearl Strait I can't take that back)

Anyways uhhh there's more let me see if I can condense it:

The twins went to a University specifically focused on battle (Champion's University), where they ended up studying subjects in their specific interests. Emmet took psychology of battle and Pokémon anatomy to learn about the weak points in trainers and Pokémon, and Ingo took general statistics and study of moves which are exactly what they sound like

The twins use the Vs Recorder all the time, both to track their own progress and to observe how passengers fight. It's often stuck to the glass windows to catch the Pokémon in the middle of the car, though they have considered buying Rotom Drones expressly for this purpose

Emmet actually has a stack of different studies on weak points in the human body but he doesn't share that with anyone, not even Ingo

Emmet's study of trainer psych has led to him often predicting tactics before they happen and dodging/countering them with his Pokémon. He often challenges himself to predict a person's team, moveset, and strategy based on appearance, gait, and body language, sharing his guesses with Ingo in case he makes any useful observations

Ingo and Emmet are possibly the first instance of causing "learned HCCM" in their Pokémon because after the training that they do together, the Pokémon have developed their own independent bloodlust and have started memorizing the move strategies that the twins have them use

Sometimes to celebrate fully completing a study on a particular set of Pokémon, the twins will eat one. This is mostly as a treat and an inside joke, but they will research what's in season/allowed and go hunt for one. Ingo is usually the one to catch it, and Emmet is the one to cook it. There's some really goofy shitposts about them going after pseudo-legendaries overseas, or Palkia's leg in Hisui

The twins can perform full medical care on any Pokémon and can often grind for hours nonstop since they can heal their teams themselves. They also save a lot on healing items this way

After releasing their diagnosis, the perception of the twins have gone in wildly different directions. Some people treat them as subhuman or as monsters, some people don't care, some people call them psycho yandere boys on twitter. Emmet tends to get more of the negative connotations, Ingo tends to get the more "positive" ones. Emmet also tends to get a lot of stares due to his restraint and status as a crazed fighter, which he pretends doesn't get to him

I think that's everything, I'm going to go collapse. Hope you guys enjoy 👍

It’s been a bad week. A lot of people are hurting right now. Your Jewish friends are hurting. Your Palestinian friends are hurting.

And yet, I’ve had one - one - gentile acquaintance reach out to see if I’m okay. I’ve seen some truly vile stuff this week. People I thought were leftist allies have been throwing around antisemitic slurs and conspiracies. People have told me and other Jews point blank that we don’t deserve human rights. People have been absolutely silent when others said nauseating things.

And almost nobody except other Jews has said a word about that to me. I am left with three possible conclusions: 1) that people don’t know why Jews across the globe would be so shocked and traumatized this week; 2) that they know and don’t care; or 3) that they know and don’t think we deserve support because we’re all secretly or not-so-secretly Zionist scum, right?

(For the record, yes, I am pro-Palestine. Basic human rights are not even a question to me. And I wish Bibi and his cronies a very walk into the sea. But I also happen to believe in the human rights of Israelis and Jews everywhere. Yes, I do my part to help - I just don’t talk about it here.)

#I am so g-d damn exhausted.#spacelazarwolf starlight plastic and unbidden-yidden have great breakdowns about a lot of this #honestly at this point I don’t care if I get hate mail #*starlightomatic not starlight plastic #I/p

You're welcome, sweetie. I saw you working (i guess) and I didn't want to bother you (I can't concentrate knowing that you're only wearing a sheet Christ God)

And err... I left my phone number in one of the bags, you know... in case you need m-... in case you need to bring you more groceries, yes.

Get better soon! 💋

At least someone brought me food while John was replacing me eating food with someone else while I was suffering all on my own abandoned. How dare this Steven seduce him and steal him away from me this vulture snake, carrion eater. So this is a rare occurrence, I don't say this often, but thank you. Just take this that my brain is already influenced by it all. And the sheet is a necessity my temperature has been increasing since hours and I won't put my suits through that abuse of disease ridden body fluids. Easier to wash and handle as well, and I started freezing inbetween so I can wrap myself in a blanket interchangeably. I have to try to work as much as I can before I am completely incapacitated, it feels as if it's getting worse every hour.

#tiping at the laptop starts to feel exhausting #if i start making more mistakes know its because im bed bound and on my phone and getting worse #roleplay #rp #sherlock roleplay #sherlock rp #tw covid #sherlock covid crossover #this is all stevens fault i bet #he probably poisoned and infected me somehow to get john to himself #god damn steven #i will get my revenge steven #i know it i deduce its all his fault i will show him whose John is #i feel so tired but at the same time i cant sleep

Blazblue Week Day 4- Inspired by your favorite OST

Stand Unrivaled

(that's a link up there if you want to listen to it) I FUCKING LOVE STAND UNRIVALED. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. Song somehow makes me cry. I enjoy thinking of Jubei he's a great little guy and it's just so perfect for him. This piece in particular was based on the small and short little diddy that plays around 3:25. It fills me with such feeling my heart just squeezes 💗 So here's Jubei having a well needed rest in his stage

This is the work that gave me the most trouble and I've been working on it for a really long time. I'm super happy with it and I hope you are too!!

#Sounds of exhaustion #ouhhhhhgh #blazblue #Jubei #blazblue week #Ship's art #Like it really really gets to me #I just think about jubei and his story and everything and my soul just goes damn #Waaaoyyyghhhh #Awooouuuuu

Hi, just wanted to ask a honest question because I've seen you post about it a few times and I genuinely don't understand where you're coming from when you say this. How is remake Leon a misogynist?

Most recently I saw you point out him calling Ada heartless, but I don't see how that's him being sexist. He says that in response to her telling him information on where to find Ashley, having previously told him to leave her behind (to presumably die or worse), and I don't think its misogynistic for him to make a jab at her for that. Especially because Leon's big motivation is saving people, of course he wouldn't be a huge fan of anyone telling him to intentionally leave someone to die if he's able to save them. (This is also not to say Ada's a bad person for suggesting that, I love Ada and her character but I also understand why Leon would be upset by such a thing)

If there's anything else in the remakes that I've missed you point out I'm curious to what else makes him misogynistic because I just don't see it.

Also like a sidenote I guess almost all of Leon's misogynistic lines are from original re4 but Luis also has lines like this, so I don't understand why he gets to be distinguished between versions and Leon doesn't when you talk about their characters.

"honest question" and yet, you seem to have already formulated an idea of my answer (and an opinion of me) based off of one post where I casually mentioned it, and you decided to look no further before getting defensive about it. Are you even asking? Do you even care to learn? Or will you just ignore everything I say? And asking anonymously is very funny to me. Literally who are you.

I talked about it here, kinda joked about it here, and I very thoroughly detailed it here, as well as reiterated in the comments. I'm so tired of repeating myself. It's 1am now bc I took the time to find these posts for you lol. Maybe read them before you try attacking a straw man.

But to the Luis point? I absolutely do separate og RE4 Leon and remake Leon… Like literally my entire POINT is that no, remake Leon is still sexist, just differently, and here is why… I really don't understand how you came to this conclusion lmao.

The main idea is, Capcom thinks they've written out Leon's misogyny; but because Capcom itself is a very bigoted company, they perpetrate misogyny in everything they make and they don't even realise it! They genuinely think the way they wrote remake Leon absolves him from the misogyny when it doesn't, it just re-contextualises it in a way that Capcom deems palatable. They still see Ada as an extension of Leon! They still see Ada's worth revolving solely around how Leon feels in response to her actions. It's ridiculous. And the way Leon is written to treat her, the lines he's given towards her, reflect this attitude, and becomes misogynistic when he treats a male character who has done worse than Ada right in front of Leon with respect and empathy.

#begging people to stop and think and actually analyse things before getting defensive. Why do I have to keep doing the work it's exhausting #Like I'll keep doing it but damn.#Why does someone suggesting that your fave has misogynistic context make you upset?#Why are you defensive over that rather than over how he treats women?#I notice these things because I pay attention to the female characters and I value them equally as characters #Maybe if you valued Ada more and paid attention to her as a character and how Leon treats her versus how he treats Krauser #you'd see Leon's unwarranted cruelty towards her is misogynistic because of these differences in his behaviour #Maybe also stop seeing Leon as someone who can do no wrong and have no flaws when you expect the same of Ada fans.#etc etc #not tagging anything but I hope to God people stop asking me to explain. PAY ATTENTION.

Thinking about a lot of things but mainly of how Terry Pratchett writes tiredness.

(Which means I’m mainly thinking of Sam Vimes. Which is normal.)

But he gets it so right.

The feeling behind your eyeballs. Stealing time from your future self with coffee, and, when the coffee doesn’t work anymore, going on sheer bloody mindedness because you cannot stop, you can’t. Not being sure when you last had real sleep. The strange state of mind you land in where you should absolutely not be tested because everything’s on a hair trigger, and things feel like they’re moving through treacle and your ability to make decisions feels shot to hell so you can only hope that you’re making the right choices.

Not Terry Pratchett’s words, if course, but I can’t get to my bookshelf at the moment, and, if I could, I’m not sure that I can read anymore.

I’m tired, is what I’m getting at.

And Terry Pratchett writes the whole spectrum of being human so brilliantly, but, damn, how he nails down being tired.

#gnu terry pratchett #sam vimes #Normally I would be hard put to name a favorite anything #but Sam Vimes is my favorite #I ought to get off the computer now #but I had to send an email #one of my co-workers has been leaving me post-it notes about how sleeping is needed and work is optional #and I apparently look as bad as I feel because my boss repeatedly asked if I'm okay and do I need to talk about anything #I need to stop #I had more thoughts #on how much the world has changed while I'm still in it; how I feel fundamentally unsuited here west of the sunset #how exhausting it is to be advertised to every waking minute; how I feel like a dinosaur about technology #(smart devices in particular - I'll be damned if I schedule my next platelet donation via Alexa)#but those are for another time #I'm going to bed #and getting up again a few hours #holy fudgecakes #also thoughts on how worrying internet purity culture is; how it feels like lip service to ideals #with no examination (self or otherwise) and no actual action taken towards change #but again that's for later

I think I do find the idea of “Bowser kidnapping Luigi” to be very interesting. I love Beauty and the Beast, and it has those vibes. However, I want my boy Luigi to have some agency of his own as well. For one, I like the idea of them being forced to work together on equal footing. Like in Bowser’s Inside Story except Bowser is aware of who he’s working with and it’s just him and Luigi.

I also love the idea of Bowser and Luigi being long-time lovers or married, and Bowser is the one who gets kidnapped. Luigi has to save him, and Mario reluctantly joins because he cares for his brother. You could do a character arc where Luigi comes to understand why Mario can’t forgive Bowser and Mario comes to respect his brother’s decision to be with Bowser.

#bowuigi #super mario brothers #don't mind me just getting fic ideas out here #i wish i could write them myself but i feel exhausted all the damn time #if anyone wants to use these as prompts go for it #love the creativity in this fandom #also i could just write the damn thing myself lmao
