Walking to the store and just a thought.

Cw: NSFW

And I’m not gonna debate this since I know for a fact and I bet doffy would be unbelievably good at sex like man really would know how to make you just overstimulated using just his fingers- like this man- hes got an ego, he refuses to NOT be good, even if you hate him for it. He’s a sex god. LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT HIS TOUNGE TOO. He That freaky-

IVOR'S CANON DIVERGENCY .

You learn throughout the entire game that Ivor values truth and honesty. Something that is real, sincere, and has faith. When this is challenged because of the order, it severely affects his character. It makes him cynical, unempathetic, and extremely defensive. He even goes against his own values ( as seen by tricking Petra ). Eventually, when he sees just the damage he has done and how much it has changed him, he decides that he doesn't need to be this way and reverts back to being a benevolent man. In general, he is an in-depth, morally grey character. Some bits in the expansion pass, and Season 2 Ivor, completely do away with who he is and it's severely disappointing. Even making him comedic relief. Below are some canon divergencies that make my Ivor back to who he is SUPPOSED to be in Season 1, while still including his character development.

THE BRIDGE .

When Ivor realizes he can have actual, authentic adventures with Jesse and his gang, his true colors come out. He is an enthusiastic man that is learning to break free of keeping his emotions down, and is super excited at the expansion of knowledge. He is super frantic in a positive way, bouncing and jumping and flailing. I wouldn't be surprised if he experiences stemming when he does this. But irregardless, Ivor isn't fucking stupid. He displays innate intelligence and sophistication in episodes 1-4. He wouldn't toss that aside when things are supposed to be serious. He would know the difference between letting shit go to the wind and allowing himself to go crazy. Because of this, my Ivor does not misuse the dirt blocks or the lava in episode 5. He continues to help them build the bridge as normal, though still continuing to complain about being pushed around.

THE HOUSE .

As stated before, Ivor's personality shines when he realizes he can be free from the Order and do adventures the way he wants them to. But this again, doesn't take away his intelligence. He isn't stupid. He would know better than to let lava flow freely across the ground as a hazard. My Ivor still uses the lava, but he would build a glass barrier first so that the lava doesn't go out and destroy people. If anyone chooses to complain afterwards, he would still get defensive and bash them because he still believes he has freedom to build. If Jesse decides to tear it down anyway, even after he has put up the safety precautions, he will be cynical toward Jesse and see him as someone who doesn't let people express freedom. Basically, "Ivor will remember that." 💀

SEASON 2 .

I'm going to be completely honest. I hated season 2 Ivor. Through and through. Though they did his personality right, I fucking despise the whole ninja bit. I thought it was stupid. They made him into comedic relief and it's severely disappointing. It was funny, don't get me wrong, but I really disapproved. So, that whole ninja shit is NOT GOING TO BE ON MY BLOG. Ninja Ivor never existed. In fact, quite the opposite. Ivor is extremely insightful when it comes to people. He analyzes. He knows. Think about his relationships with people when it comes to the Order! His whole issue is that he couldn't trust them anymore. He was so close to them because he knew them in and out, until he realized who they became. Not to mention, with how cynical he became, I think it would be natural that he knows people. He has a way with his words. And people who have been hurt this way, naturally have an inclination to read people and sweettalk to them.

When Romeo/The Admin came to tell him about this other Jesse, he immediately knew something was off. Even if Jesse chose to destroy his house and Ivor didn't really enjoy Jesse, he would know them well enough to realize that they wouldn't abuse the power like that. Even back when they were fighting the Witherstorm, weapons and tools were utilized for plans only. There wouldn't be any exaggeration or authoritarianism. Ivor would know something is up. But because he is intelligent, he would lead Romeo/The Admin on and pretend to go out to kill Jesse. He would be himself, using potions and enchantments as opposed to his fighting skills. Ivor isn't well-versed in fighting, not like he is brewing. He would stock up on Strength II potions, and Potions of Harming -- he would almost overexert himself, even play with Romeo/The Admin by pretending to be super excited and brewing this like SUPER harming potion that kills someone the moment it splashes on them. But in reality he would give it to Jesse to use on Romeo/The Admin. Though, if Jesse has been poor to Ivor by this point, he would express his hatred doing this for him and how he feels that he doesn't deserve it.

TRUTH , BELIEF ?

This is very important to my Ivor and his character. Depending on what Jesse tells Gabriel to do when they defeat the Witherstorm depends heavily on the growth of Ivor and the ending of Season 2. It seems that though Ivor will remember what Gabriel says, it doesn't make a huge or massive difference. I am going to make it have a massive difference. If Jesse tells Gabriel to have everyone continue to believe the lies, Ivor will never change. He will remain cynical and defensive. Hard to trust others. Hard to get close to others. The ending scene in Season 2 never happens. He will continue to live in BeaconTown, helping Jesse and Lukas, going out with Petra/Jack/Nurm. He does not want to reconnect with his friends because now to him, they will never change.

If Jesse tells Gabriel to tell the truth, Ivor begins to soften up. He realizes that maybe there can be trust in people again. He wants to search for them and reconnect with them, and thusly the ending scene of Season 2 happens, but in an entirely different way. Ivor comes up to Jesse and expresses that he needs to leave. That ever since he saw Gabriel do the one thing he never thought any of them would do, he has slowly changed. And now he wants to make amends and start to heal the rift between his friends. He slowly loses his defensive nature, and becomes an unbeatable force for good. His grey area disappears.

JACK .

Jack is super stoked to meet Ivor. Ivor expresses how much he loves meeting his fans. But, Jack expresses his love for Ivor from the old Order of the Stone. I don't believe Ivor would be very excited to see his fans from that era. He would love and accept them just as he says in the game! But, he would express how it's stupid of him to look to the Order because of who they were and what they did. However, if Jesse makes Gabriel admit to their wrongdoings, Ivor will be less resentful of the Order and express his excitement more than expressing Jack's stupidity for believing in the Order.

These are all of the canon divergencies! I hope they make sense to you and I hope you can understand what I did them for! I loved Ivor from the first season and to see him become something like that was really disappointing. If you have any questions, please ask me! Keep in mind I won't change anything about this, but I will help you in plotting the differences with our muses when it comes up!

【直接的性格】        BLUNTNESS AND DIRECTNESS

kiyoko is one of the more blunt characters in haikyuu , evident by the way she refuses second-year tanaka’s proposal , humbles the third years during their shrine visit by informing them that a prayer to the gods won’t grant them a victory at nationals , explains to sugawara that she has no intentions of marrying him when she tries to steady his hands with her own , and constantly rebukes tanaka and nishinoya’s outlandish requests to be spanked/scolded. 

this blunt character is unique , not only as a character trope , but also in cultural context. directness is viewed as a negative attribute in japan since it can be conceived as abrasive and self-centered—— and it’s especially considered a negative trait for women. in a lot of ways , japan is still conservative about femininity , and women’s behavior is certainly not exempt from scrutiny. most women in media and in trends exemplify youthful cute charms ( girlish femininity , innocence , kindness , etc. ). 

it is rarer to see mature and “sexy” styles , especially those that also involve blunt and direct personality types. part of the reason that kiyoko isn’t criticized for being blunt is because she’s attractive and able to suit this style. other haikyuu characters who go against the natural grain like ushijima and tendou don’t have the same sort of social “clout” that a beautiful high school girl does , so their directness is considered a fault. tendou isn’t conventionally attractive and he’s a bit of an otaku nerd ( which isn’t a problem in today’s high schools , but in a private high school 10 years ago could easily have been an isolating factor ) , and ushijima is attractive but a jock-type who doesn’t have the same social fluency as other students ( since he focuses mostly on volleyball and might produce very one-note conversations ). kiyoko may be blunt , but comparatively she doesn’t have anything that ostracizes her from fitting in. she simply chooses not to engage with people at times.

of course , if she weren’t attractive , her bluntness would be considered a fault. it’s simply because she was lucky enough to be beautiful that her direct personality isn’t considered “abrasive.” instead , it lends her character to the onee-san trope ( a mature , no-nonsense , cold woman type ). being beautiful and blunt effectively elevates a woman to some goddess-like level. it may be because onee-san types are somewhat “rarer” to find—— not only is beauty “rare,” but a woman who isn’t the average girly/cutesy type is also “rare.”

however , i think it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that kiyoko isn’t completely cold-blooded and unfeeling. her behavior with the team may make her an onee-san type , but with other characters and other teams , she’s not quite the same. rather than directly refusing others , she adopts a technique of disregard or avoidance. she ignores oikawa who tries to talk to her , rather than confront him—— a person she doesn’t know—— by saying she has no interest in him. she also avoids talking to the players on other teams at the training camp in tokyo who are ushering to try saying hello to her , by instead chatting with the female managers she’s more comfortable with. 

when she does have to interact directly with someone , she’s polite and indirect. terushima stops her in the hallway at the spring interhigh and rather than be blunt or ignore him , she uses the typical japanese style of deflecting ( which is considered more polite ) and explains that she has people waiting for her. in japan , people understand an excuse like this to mean that she’s not interested and to signal that she’d like to break away. 

also , the way that she interacts with yachi and the other female managers completely contradicts the notion that she’s cold and blunt. tanaka and nishinoya even ogle that she’s chatting a lot , smiling , and having lots of “girl talk” with the other managers , which means that she’s not the sort of solitary person who blocks everyone out.

at face value , an outsider would see kiyoko’s behavior of being quiet , enjoying time to herself , and avoiding/ignoring interactions with people she doesn’t know as being very onee-san-esque. it’s easy to label her as an onee-san because of her outwardly expressed behaviors , in conjunction with the fact that she also doesn’t fit neatly into the cutesy girly trope. from my experience , most japanese women are sorted into these two categories ( the third might be somewhere in the middle , like the “girl next door” type , though that tends to lean youthful and girly too ). but this trope is , of course , just a shallow label and doesn’t hold any weight when considering the spectrum of kiyoko’s social styles. it may just be because most people don’t end up talking to her that they view her this way.

in my portrayal i try to emphasize depth in her personality—— her humor , her tendency to take care of others without being asked , and her thoughtfulness that may not fully manifest as words or actions beyond simply her own ideas. i do think that she’s more blunt and direct than most people. i think she’s not afraid to speak her mind , and to do so concisely—— which isn’t common in japan. i think it makes her a unique character when compared with others in the series. however , i don’t think it’s the one and only aspect of her personality , nor do i think it should be emphasized as the encapsulation of her personality. it’s just one element , and clearly one that she disproves by her proclivity for disregard and avoidance , and her ability to have friendly , sensitive , and supportive conversations with other characters.

A collection of headcanons/footnotes:

Artoirel is physically weaker than Haurchefant. I guess that’s more or less a given, considering it takes six men to hold back a motivated Haurchefant, and the man can apparently flex his muscles so hard that he can pop the links out of his chainmail. Still, because Artoirel was prideful as hell and couldn’t stand to be outdone by his half-brother, he trained extensively to try and stay on top. Trying to beat him in terms of raw physical strength was an exercise in futility, so Artoirel instead focused on being the better tactical fighter, being able to make decisions and identify weaknesses more quickly.

He embraces his role as the head of House Fortemps fully, but if that wasn’t an option for him, then he would make an excellent field commander. Planning is one of his greatest strengths, and due to his logical nature, he is a very efficient problem-solver and has a talent for naturally seeing the best course of action and the best outcome. The only problem is that others could end up seeing him as a strict and unpleasant commander due to the emphasis he puts on diligence as well as how he tends to get impatient with other people when they don’t keep up with him.

He is very much a music nerd, as canon establishes with how he composes music. Though he is capable of playing multiple instruments to varying degrees of proficiency, his favorite is the violin, due to it being one of the hardest instruments to learn but most gratifying to master. If you’re a friend of his, he’d be more than happy to perform for you, and he’ll play a piece he composed himself if you’re particularly close with him. Also, since he is an avid collector of orchestrion rolls, giving him one is easily the fastest way to make his day. Depending on what you give him, you might even see a look of childish glee on his face for a moment before he composes himself again. Naturally, he’s fond of orchestrions with more “traditional” music like classical, but he tries his best to be more open-minded with other genres as well.

Artoirel was very jealous and resentful of Haurchefant, especially with the attention Edmont gave him, and part of that is because he likes being recognized. His loyalty to his family and duties are very strong, and he becomes frustrated whenever he feels that it isn’t seen. This also extends to his other duties in general, and he will get grumpy if he feels that he hasn’t been thanked for his work.

It’s always long sleeves with the shirts and pants with him. He’s a prude who prefers clothes that bespeak Refinement™, and he will probably look discomforted if made to wear more casual wear. He’s been brought up to be a proud member of nobility all his life, so it’s hard for him to move out of that.

headcanons for evil!plaga leon.

Leon had originally saved one of the wolves from captivity in a bear trap during his time in Spain, though as he fell and succumbed to Las Plagas, his wolf friend had as well. The Colmillo is someone that Leon also protects, and the wolf is deadly protective over Leon, having a bond that is unbreakable.

He refers to the wolf as Tiro Muerto. You can, on often occasions, see Leon with him as well.

While Leon is technically a bioweapon himself, he still utilizes knives and guns to fight. Unless it’s a close combat situation, he’ll use fists, claws, the weird spider arms that can come from his back, or at the very least, his stinger on his tail. The arms are mainly just for mobility and they cannot handle themselves in a fight except to pin or push an enemy. His stinger can either focus on pressure points to disarm his enemies, or poison / infect them.

okay  an  actual  sinday  headcanon  under  the  cut  because  i’ve  been  having  thoughts  .  

lance is a dominant top. it’s a role he slips into easily due to how he acts normally; carrying himself as a dragon trainer, and champion, there’s usually a need for his behaviour to be the one in charge and taking the reigns. saying that he’s not a particularly rough dom, his need to make sure his partners know he loves them has him on strings, and the idea of hurting someone he cares about isn’t a kink of his, regardless if they’ve consented for it. being handsy, some biting, and having that slight control is enough for him - usually.  of course there’ll be times when he’s frustrated and needs that rough friction to settle him down. he definitely makes up for it after though, after care is a must usually but especially so after a rough time. it goes without saying he’ll always check if the pace / roughness he’s going is too much, safety being his top priority.

he does like to be cared for every so often though. for someone to take the reigns, to tell him what to do, to expel all that control he has to keep just for one night so he can enjoy that weightless feeling. tying him up, gagging, when he’s the sub he is down for anything.

also lance enjoys messy makeout sessions against walls, doors, floors, and has been known to initiate it in places where they could potentially get caught. and if there’s time? he’s game for a quickie in a hidden cupboard. or in the champion’s seat. or his office.

[ 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 ] 

1.   WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE?    

he lives on a close-quarter recycled-air ship, he’s strict on hygiene and may threaten to boot anyone out the airlock if they get regularly stinky, lmao. 

generally, he just smells clean. he’s not a fan of perfumed stuff because, again, recycled-air ship, and you can’t get away from any type of strong smells easy. 

2.   WHAT DO YOUR MUSE'S HANDS FEEL LIKE?   

he’s done his fair share of work in his day. he was raised in montana on a farm, was in the Navy for years, worked on an ice hauler, and has never shied away from hard work. that said, he’s also not someone who explicitly works with his hands. they’re strong, sure. confident. deft, agile. not overly rough, but not so soft as to show a life of easy living. they’re expressive. they show his age. his nails are usually short. 

3.   WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY?    

on a bog-standard day on the ship: his weight in coffee. the roci is generally fairly well stocked with an assortment of usually vegetarian based protein (tofu or fungus-based), often pre-made meals but occasionally a crew member (usually alex) will make something more complicated. food on-ship is fairly bland unless someone gets pretty creative. pastas and noodles are common. protein gel-packs and vitamin supplements are common. 

sometimes after they make a stop at an actual station they’ll eat better for a few days after splurging on some real food, like eggs or vat-grown proteins. real animal based proteins prohibitively expensive and, to his eye, wasteful. on stops, he usually will make at least one effort to have a decent meal somewhere since they can afford it and it’s a rarity. 

most fresh foods are a rarity and an expensive delicacy, like fresh fruits and vegetables are practically unheard of and are a delicacy when they run across them. 

4.   DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE?   

no. LMAO. if he tortures you with it you know he likes you enough to want to torture you with it. 

5.   DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICKS?  

coffee and caffeine is a lifestyle for him. he often skips meals and then gets hangry and cranky. he’s bad at remembering to take care of himself and if it wasn’t for the auto-injector for his meds and people to remind him, he’d be in a rough place. 

is pushing buttons to see what happens a bad habit? i feel like for him it is.

6.    WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE / WEAR?  

daily clothes: comfort and utility. slim-fitting clothes that’ll fit in a pinch under an VAC suit. mag boots, because it’s a ship house-rule that everyone wears mag boots while on the move. 

7.   IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW SO?   

to people he’s close to, absolutely. to people he doesn’t know, he’s a lot more reserved, at least when it comes to affection and more honest expressions of himself. He protects his crew first and foremost, because they are more than family to him. He’s affectionate and open to them without question. 

to those he trusts and is close to, though, he melts into affection. touch him and he melts into it like he couldn’t get enough of it. he loves it, wants it, gives it freely. trust is a slow thing with him, though.

8.  WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN?  

honestly any way he can, lmao. generally, a side-sleeper when he’s got the option. he’s a cuddler. he doesn’t sleep well and is a light sleeper, and is kind of restless. 

9.  COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM? 

not generally, unless he’s being really righteous or pissed off about something. but, generally, he doesn’t get loud, he gets intense and focused. or, y’know, he blows up at a coffee machine.

basim has a series of scars on his back that form a constellation. these scars were a gift of his past as isu. whilst he could likely find a way to remove them , he has chosen to keep them as a reminder of perseverance.

i just realized that depending on your choices, ivor has literally felt death. he has felt what it's like to die and get respawned. i imagine now that he's felt it, he's that much more scared of it actually happening. i don't think it takes away from him going on adventures and actually exploring the world for knowledge and the betterment of his craft. but he's definitely going to be antsy around a few pistons from now on. especially ones that are super close together. he'll have to work himself up to try and go through them, and would probably put his whole body into trying to get through it as fast as possible. i would not be surprised if he even uses a potion of swiftness so he can get through it super fast.

or of course, at gladiator junction, with the ax. this wouldn't stop him from using them or knowing what good they're for, but he'll definitely be a little antsy on the receiving end of them. minecraft story mode is for kids, so it's a little less gory, but i imagine it had to have been pretty graphic. it went right through his chest and stomach. it had to have been the most excruciatingly agonizing pain he had ever felt and he would NEVER want to be on the receiving end of one again.

BONUS - IVOR'S INVENTORY :

let me assign you an aesthetic word.

scintilla.

in my language, scintilla is the italian equivalent of spark. you're the spark that makes two people fall in love, you're the spark that lights up the sky when the fireworks paint our big blue ceiling with hundreds of colors. you're a bright little thing, aren't you? it's so endearing how open your mind is, how you're always ready to teach and to learn. what i wanna tell you, is that sometimes we need to make sure we don't drown in our own feelings, even if they can be overwhelming. i can't wait for your back to finally greet your pair of wings.

What chess piece represents you?

You are the White Queen. The Queen is the most powerful piece on the board, meaning you are strong in some aspect of your life. Physically, emotionally, mentally, one of these is your strong suit. The queen can move anywhere she wishes upon the board, meaning you have your hands full with all the different tasks and choices in your life. Just be careful not to overwhelm yourself. For all your poise and status, your position will surely crumble under the weight of your pride.

COMMON KNOWLEDGE - pretty much anyone who knows of ash likely knows at least one of the following:

currently thirty-seven years old. he was born on the 22nd of May 1986.

is on and off world champion for one of the few global leagues.

is half kantonian, half anahuan. he has dual citizenship for both the kanto and kalia regions.

long thought himself bisexual, but later came out again as gay at the age of 35 (celadon pride was jumping that year i tell you hwat).

has had many ace pokémon in his time - including charizard, sceptile, infernape, krookodile, etc. - but is hardly ever seen without raichu, his one true right-paw man.

has saved the world several times (although the deep extent of which is not broadly known - some events have been covered up entirely).

is also reasonably well-known for often being tangled up in scraps with team rocket, incidents both frivolous and deeply grave.

was alola's first champion back in the day.

"holy shit it's the omnicorp life insurance guy" .

is aura sensitive - this one is slightly lesser known, but the basic fact isn't really kept secret. the true extent of his aura-based gifts, however ... that's when people get tight-lipped.

is broadly considered to be a pokémon master, but ash himself doesn't claim this, has often stated his journey will never be over.

despite this, and all of these towering feats, in recent times he has bizarrely chosen to take up a regular job at pallet house, under his mother delia. he hasn't been particularly chatty to any reporters about why this is.

ash is related to the anahua region's equivalent of a champion, zaniyah. she is his paternal grandmother.

has a crappy twitch stream from time to time that betrays how utterly awful he is at most video games.

he didn't cope well with fame / the overwhelming burden of responsibility in his 20s. tabloid readers probably remember this fondly. ash does not.

probably has a lot of old flings from this aforementioned period of personal upheaval.

ash can communicate with pokémon pretty well. he claims this isn't by strictly translating or reading a pokémon's mind, but that he is somehow able to intuit meaning and feelings all the same. raichu goes 'chu chu chu' and in his head, ash hears everything his buddy is trying to say.

"of course i'm a functioning alcoholic, it came free with me being born a millennial".

tiktoks either unhinged or adorable shots of his pokémon.

DUBIOUS KNOWLEDGE / "CONSPIRACY THEORIES" - somewhat recognised knowledge, but may be misunderstood, covered up, or relegated to the realm of a conspiracy theory/parody:

ash is immortal / ash has super powers / ash has crazy aura powers / i heard that ash ketchum has an 8 pack that ash ketchum was shredded / chuck norris jokes just got a whole lot more annoying / etc.

he worked with professor larch of the sabiri region; a scientist broadly considered to be criminally insane after a lab accident decades ago that caused plural deaths. the man refuses to talk about it.

there is a theory that ash caused the 'kholoss disaster' - this was a 2014 calamity (in-universe time runs parallel to us, everything is kind of in real time) during which a supposed megaseismo/volcanic event occurred on mount kholoss, in the sabiri region. this event caused a domino effect of disasters around the world, many of which some regions are still recovering from.

ash's dad is missing, and i don't think he's ever used the word 'dead' to describe him. i don't think ash wants to believe it. even after all this time. presently, ash's dad is known in some circles as one of many infamous unsolved and unexplained disappearances.

ash can summon lugia by whistling for it. his mileage varies in landlocked areas.

ash has often claimed not to believe in any one divine pokémon, but his attitude about arceus in particular seems bristled. in truth, this is because he once sought out the "original one" on his path to rediscover his purpose. ash sensed confusion in it, fear, even anger. for reasons ash couldn't understand then, arceus began behaving destructively towards him and the general environment, and although it was eventually calmed, ash has held no particular reverence for the thing since. (in more metaphorical terms, arceus sensed a great 'glitch' within ash and attempted to give the universe a hard reset).

professor larch is an old colleague of professor oak's. back in the 80s, they worked as a duo to work on the first properly computerised pokédex.

HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE - only ash himself knows these things, or those incredibly close to him might know these things:

ash has made one (1) attempt on his own life before. told no one. pretends it never happened. everyone has their moments of madness, even shiny immortal golden boys.

ash has only ever had Feelings(tm) for well-known scientist gary oak. although his fandom may well have picked up on this. rpf is a pox on every universe.

ash was literally dead when pikachu evolved into raichu. desperate times, desperate measures.

in a well covered up altercation with some rockets, ash may or may not be guilty of murder.

actually, there are probably a good few cover-ups for various things that have happened to ash as well. i imagine his interpol file is something unwieldy, the sight of it brings their admin staff despair.

has both encountered missingno and visited glitch city. has not only somehow made it through each incident alive, but has survived unharmed.

META KNOWLEDGE - things about ash's world he doesn't know (yet), but i do:

ash was 'chosen' by enevaxis during his first death. being turned to stone by mew and mewtwo sent him hurtling into the same void that enevollath had condemned enevaxis to, eons and eons ago. upon ash's resurrection, by the power of aura in the tears of pokémon, he came back irreparably altered by the encounter. not only that, he came back with a simple favour to fulfil. he would remember none of it though, no thanks to mewtwo. this was his nexus point. the origin of all that ails him. just wait until he finds out that all of his nightmarish life has been because he wanted to stop two stupid cats from fighting.

ash's dad, tonalli/'tony', is certainly dead. and his disappearance was no accident. rockets: a thorn in the ketchum family's side for three generations and counting!

ash's maternal grandfather is bruno. delia never knew her father, and according to her mother, he was a great trainer who had descended from the mountain one day to recharge and refuel at pallet house, and sweep the old landlady off her feet for the night before retreating to the mountains again. unfortunately, knowledge of who delia's father is died with her mother in delia's teens. and with it, any chance of ash knowing his ties with the legendary fighting master.

grandma zaniyah is probably a straight up fucking serial killer. i'm sorry ash.

literally all ash needs to do to end this absurd chosen one struggle is climb up a super freaky mountain and let enevaxis out of its cage. that's it. he'll have to get past zaniyah when he realises this, though, that's the kicker.

[ And now for some extra bits cus I can't Not gush about fictional alien cultural practices qvq ]

While holding hands and even kissing can be wholly platonic, something reserved strictly for family and committed romantic relationships is pressing foreheads together. It symbolically brings the two minds closer together, eyes typically closed to better focus on their partner.

A gesture reserved for romantic relationships is a couple entertwining their head-tails together. This has a similar meaning as the forehead press, but with an added depth; the mental walls of both parties are lowered to allow each other full insight into their emotions. For this reason, this gesture is customary in any and all sexual encounters- whether the couple are recently together, long committed, friends with benefits, or even just a casual hook-up. Obviously a not Astonian partner can't reciprocate this gesture, but Bro'Dee will make it work regardless- after explaining the tele-empathic portion of it and gaining their consent, of course.

A more chaste gesture involving the head-tail is comparable to a hug or squeeze, also spanning different types of affection. Draping it across a loved one's shoulders, wrapping around an arm, holding their cheek, etc.. The head-tail is nowhere near as strong as the other pieces of an Astonian's musculature, but it's filled with thousands of highly sensitive nerve endings and thus functions as a sensory organ.

I have a previous hc post about different common affectionisms and pet names in Astonian culture here, but there are wordless pieces as well. These consist primarily of soft coos and chirrups, but joyful squeaks and clicks can of course be sorted into this category as well.

This is less-so a gesture as it is involuntary, but an Astonian's bioluminescence can express feelings like love and desire. These are typically pink and pinkish-purple respectfully, but will often be mixed with blue and blue-green for happiness/contentment/comfort. The brighter the colors and/or rapid the patterns, the more intense the emotion they're conveying is.
