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.

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 👍

this may be a misworded take but: watching (white) conservatives cover the current israel/palestine conflict happening and act as though they’ve always cared about jewish people antisemitism yadda yadda is so fucking (un)funny like. no. no. no. you don’t care about any of that shit. you don’t give the slightest fuck about jewish people, you’re only pretending to care about them because right now the people in israel are currently bombing and genociding the one group of people you hate more

#free palestine #palestine #israel #yesterday I saw a clip of some fuckers on fox news the so called “unbiased news service”#say they wanted the people protesting for palestine’s freedom “in strait jackets” and “locked in a psyche ward”#hope every one of those ableist racist pieces of shit get hit by cars I’m not joking. fucking despicable #news #politics #israel hamas war #*calls ppl wanting palestine’s freedom antisemitic*#*will then proceed to regurgitate the “there is a secret group controlling the world the economy etc” conspiracy theory like its nothing*#again this may be misworded. but idk. just all this shit makes me soo mad #hamas #current events #genocide mention #gaza

idc about headcanons but i think like fandom people overestimate how interesting they are like i doubt hawks working at target is more interesting than what the manga does and tbh most hcs completely ignore characters og personalities by removing them from context. like all this talk about imagination and creativity and the hcs are like well x is trans and a smol bean who would never hurt a fly 😊 because he’s an assassin in canon or something

maybe be sure you’re not missing out on crucial text posts before you send anything and waste my time

#I am not talking about hawks headcanons I was talking about text interpretation as a general concept #ofc most fandom stuff isn’t groundbreaking idk what you want me to tell you should I clap???#should we invite horikoshi???#asks #I just block people whose interpretations I don’t like LMAOOOO #someone said dabi needs to be locked up in a psych ward so I blocked them there’s nothing else to do #I’m not fighting over bnha headcanons in my free time it’s not gonna happen

my new and improved Barry Steakfries autism headcanons :D

Barry is the type of autistic who actively seeks out sensory input and loves to talk to people! he does this by blasting rock music through his whole house, flying really high in the sky on his jetpack and feeling the wind on his face, causing loud and destructive explosions, listening to the whirring of his MGJP, going out for drinks with a lot of friends including Craig and watching action movies with a lot of carnage. most of these get him in serious trouble with the law, but they can't catch him because he has a jetpack and they don't >:)

he's the type of guy to listen to death metal screaming to feel Delightfully Whelmed and sit there calmly on the floor like it's nothing

Barry's main stim is ripping his shirt sleeves, usually as an expression of super strong emotions (excitement, rage, fear. etc) or to combat his tactile sensory issues. he also bounces his knee and clenches his fists when he's bored or nervous.

most of Barry's sensory issues are tactile, like the way certain (and by certain i mean most) types of sleeves feel on his arms. they can make his arms feel scratchy and tight, which can get worse if they're wet and just hang onto his skin. he's a lot more comfortable wearing loose soft sleeves or wearing them when it's cold. a lot of people have asked Barry why he doesn't just wear tank tops if he hates the feeling of sleeves, to which he says that ripping them off is way more satisfying and fun, like he's killing the bad sensory feeling itself by tearing it off him.

Barry mentions in one of the episodes of his vlog that his shirt ripping stim was passed down through generation to generation and that his dad rips his sleeves as well. my headcanon is that this is generational autism and their children learning their parents' stims! (Barry also mentions that the only generation that didn't rip their sleeves was in the medieval generation when they wore chainmail which i think in this context is really interesting!)

Barry isn't very good with emotional regulation. he can get frustrated, impatient and angry really quickly, which we see a lot of in the 'Rainbow Barry' short. he also struggles with executive functioning and frequently forgets or struggles to do tasks he finds boring, misplaces things, procrastinates a lot, struggles with impulsiveness and planning.

Barry also has inattentive type ADHD (otherwise known as ADD) which he shows traits of in the 'Rainbow Barry' short as well.

he picks up a lot of catchphrases and personality traits from his favourite action movies!

i mentioned before that Barry loves to talk to people, but he struggles with quite a few social skills. he forgets people's boundaries, has trouble controlling his volume, accidentally interrupts people, can come off as scary sometimes and forgets what the conversation was about. a lot of other people don't really like him because they think he's just being rude and self-centred and he's never really understood why. Craig understand though, and that's why they love each other :)

his special interests are jetpacks, action movies, his dad's record collection and dogs! he may not be an expert but he loves them :)

Barry has no idea he's autistic and thinks he instead has a disease that makes him rip his sleeves because no one's ever told him and he doesn't remember getting diagnosed.

#barry steakfries #jetpack joyride #autism headcanon #stimming headcanon #i love this man he's so autism #i like how all of these headcanons stemmed from me watching 'Shirt Sleeves' for the first time #and then going ''wait this is actually so autism coded'' on subsequent listens #like i dunno about you but barry's sleeve ripping sounds a lot like sensory issues to me #i mean even the way he describes it sounds like it's just something he does when he's super excited #and he's just been convinced that it's a problem because ripped sleeves aren't part of the uniform code for work #and other people think he's crazy and weird but it's just The Autism and he doesn't know!!!#really the only unsafe thing he did with his sleeves in that video was rip them off while he was in space #nooo barry you're gonna suffocate!!! you're gonna turn into human beef jerky!!! nooooo!!!#actually he'd probably like the idea of becoming beef jerky cause y'know. steakfries.#also they locked him in a psych ward in that video which has some... negative connotations.#call me a snowflake or whatever but i dunno if i really like the heavy implication that barry was unwillingly put into a psych ward #and put into a straight jacket considering what happens to real mentally ill and neurodivergent people y'know?#that's like the only part of the video i don't like everything else is fine #anyway in conclusion barry is supremely exquisitely autistic and i love him

// TRIGGER WARNING - hospitalization

i know that there are many, many different disabilities that manifest in unique ways, but i think the worst sensation i had while i was in a psych ward + in the partial hospitalization program was that i felt like i was still the "crazy" one in places that were supposed to make me feel less alone.

I love Faedren. Do you have any pictures of him? Are there any beliefs held by the deity he follows he disagrees with? How strongly? Are there any he wishes she felt more strongly toward?

very recently posted very long faedren chat sesh in which i go into the basics of his religious beliefs but! the thing about faedren is that he is in a cult so the teachings he's receiving are not exactly accurate to what his goddess usually says 👍 calistria is very clear that you should not follow revenge to the point that it takes over your life but faedren would follow revenge to the point of total self-destruction because that's what he's been taught is the beautiful ideal of his goddess. to the point of there being beliefs held by the deity that he disagrees with! no <3 first of all he loves his goddess so totally and completely that whatever he believes she wants is what he will devote himself in his entirety to. second of all he is in. a cult. and he was not taught that it was very cool or safe to question the teachings of the community growing up. elle oh elle

in faedren's mind calistria can do no wrong because she is the most beautiful divine being and all of her dictates are the ultimate truth of life and she is the only one who has ever truly cared about him so he would destroy himself for her over and over again. whatever she does in his eyes is perfect. and he has Spoken to her at this point (he died for a second and was in elysium and then saw her and talked to her in the Divine Experience Of His Life (<— he was so insufferable after this he's in the worst possible parasocial relationship with his goddess)) so like. god. i can't even imagine what it would take to shake him out of his complete and total faith in her.

as for pictures! have my favorite little faedren image and then i'll put the rest below the readmore :)

yeah it's mostly picrews rn. i HATE finding images for characters dskfjgsh but you can have these and then also someone's art that i stole off of pinterest to use as his character token (our maps are digital). it was a very low-thought choice at the time cause i did not really care what he looked like as long as he was like. blonde and elven. but now that's what he looks like soooooo haha

the boy. + him in a little gym boy tank top and sweater and THEN + him in a little sinister guy moment after he gets his Negative Character Development :D

GOD. TOTALLY FORGOT TO MENTION IN THAT LONG POST THAT HE'S CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING A VAMPIRE. OUGGHGHHHH....

#faedren #ask #so much to SAY about him i FORGET!!!!!#dm give me information about his vampirism challenge.#we went to a fucking fantasy hospital to try nd figure it out last session but all that happened is they locked faedren in the psych ward #and then like. attacked us. and our friend nuked his character so that he could play someone new without telling anyone.#so. faedren is definitively Worse Off right now than he was before that #sorry bud. maybe next time you wake up drenched in your own blood after a horrific nightmare you'll get some answers #or some fangies whatever works
