An Ace pokemon is their strongest
Includes All 7 dorms + Staff
This is your sign to totally ask my about my pokemon au I wrote a whole lore doc for it and even added some hisui stuff
Heartybul
Tumblr media
Riddle: Shaymin
Shaymin is a hedgehog and since Riddle is the grass gym leader in my au it just worked the best. Imagine it's flower is a rose though. (He probably wouldn't use it for the gym that's too op)
Ace: Scorbunny
I needed a lil rascal for Ace and Scorbunny gives such Ace vibes.
Deuce: Buneary
After the bunny event (can't remember the name of it for the life of me) I had to give him a bunny pokemon. I also wanted it to be a duo with Ace's ace. (tehehe ace and ace) For all you Adeuce-ers I have a drawing vision I'll create one day.
Cater: Ditto
Identity issues. I picture Ditto approaching Cater as Cater and he assumed it was a clone for the longest time. Ofc until he tried making it disappear and it didn't work.
Trey: Chansey
He's like the big brother of the group so I thought Chansey was perfect.
Savanaclaw
Tumblr media
I didn't wanna just base them off of their species since I was going to give them Pokemon Beastman types instead. (For example Leona is a Pyroar Beastman)
Leona: Lucario
I wanted a fighting type since he's the fighting gym leader. So when I was playing Legends Arceus and stumbled upon an alpha Lucario I knew it had to be. (Dunno how much it fits tho tbh)
Ruggie: Timburr
I needed a lil rascal for him. Someone who could snag something and run off. Also preferably a fighting type. Timburr fits the profile.
Jack: Lycanroc
He turns into a wolf...this one had to be a wolf. I wanted one that didn't give intimidating vibes and Lycanroc was my best bet. I feel like it's a very loyal pokemon and from what I know Jack is decently loyal. (I'm sorry I don't know much about Jackypoo)
Octavinelle
Tumblr media
Azul: Grapploct
I know I said I didn't wanna go species based, but tbh it was either this or Vaporeon and I feel like I could find more similarities with these two. It's pre-evolution is a small little guy who works it's way up to it's strong version, similar to Azul working hard to become the successful man- teen he is today.
(this lil guy)
Tumblr media
Jade: Lapras
I needed something to pair with Floyd and just going for the eels felt too easy. Lapras has this elegance that Jade has so I thought it'd work
Floyd: Gyrados
(did I spell that wrong?) He totally caught a Magikarp when he was younger because he thought it looked funny then kept it. Look at it now!!
Scarabia
Tumblr media
Kalim: Donphan
I wanted an angry looking pokemon to contradict his friendly optimistic-ness. + elephant. He rides an elephant in Chapter/Book 4.
Jamil: Serviper
Jamil *Viper* Ser*Viper*
Ignyhyde
Tumblr media
Idia: Luxray
Almost went with PorygonZ but he likes kitties and as the electric type gym leader I had to go with Luxray. Lions are cats!!
Ortho: Rotom
Come on... Do I have to explain? Oh wait non-pokemon fans might be reading this, yes I do. Rotom can travel between devices and sometimes even the players Pokedex. (Encyclopedia of Pokemon) (Sun/Moon for example)
Diasomnia
Tumblr media
Malleus: Meowstick♂️
Everyone keeps giving him a super op team full of legend/psuedo-legendary dragon types but instead I made him part Dialga (basically the god of time) so I could excuse it.
I can't see him getting many pokemon, most escaping their balls and leaving Mal down. But this Meowstick lives in his castle. He wanted to befriend it but it was really stubborn. Eventually they became comrades tho!!
Silver: Swablu
He needs an Altaria. It's a cloud bird (technically dragon but shhhh)‼️‼️Swablu doesn't evolve until level 50 though and he's still young so he needs to wait.
Sebek: Pom-Pom Oricorio
I LOVE HIS DYNAMIC WITH ORICORIO!! I picked it because it was an electric cheerleader and he's always idolizing Mal but there's lore origins
Sebek found Oricorio when he was younger and out playing with Silver. It was injured and about to faint (Pokemon's equivalent to dying) Silver insisted on rushing it home and having Lilia help save it. Sebek carried it all the way there and it grew attached to him.
I can see Baul having issues with him having a non-evolving Pokemon but give it time, it'll prove it can be strong
Lilia: Sneasler
Come on...Look at them.
Tumblr media
Sneasler is a Hisui exclusive actually, and Hisui is Sinnoh in the 1700s-ish. It also looks like it could be a soldier, look at it. Amazing. Perfect. I love Sneasler.
Extra: (You'll have to look these up yourself)
Crowley: Haunchcrow, it's in the name, it's a crow.
Crewel: Furfrou, dog you get to stylize, perfect fit
Vargas: Machamp (please say I didn't mix it up, the fully evolved one) Human like muscle pokemon absolutely perfect.
Trein: Lucius, Lucius is a pokemon in my au. shush it's just a rare species
Sam: Dusknoir, skull ghost type. Perfect for Sammypoo.
Tumblr media
So that concludes all their aces. Funsies!! I'm back in my Pokemon hyperfix so I'm brainrotting. This was one of many...
I have everything planned out but the lore doc only contains up to Scarabia's arc rn. (But still ask about anything I literally have most of it planned)
The Pokemon au focuses on Yuu, who gets sent to the TWST region (shush ik not creative) by Arceus (Pokemon God). Professor Crowley finds poor Yuu and offers to help them home, if they complete the Pokedex. (I had to type that out 4 times I kept accidentally deleting it)
Thanks for Reading
Octavinelle and Diasomnia are my favs rn because those (+ Pomfiore) I branch away from the main story the most. (Yuu gets into trouble with Azul let's just say~)
So ask about it, I wanna share the brainrot. (I'll probably make a massive lore post about it one day if no one does...I can't be contained)
Anyways have a wonderhoytastic day!!
Thanks for reading, Byebye!!

Idea for a fanfic. This could be of any fandom. The fic takes place in a world that has something significantly different from our world. (Ie-. Pokemon, LOTR, DC, MARVEL, ect.) And it's a fandom that the fanfic author is a real nerd about so they know a bunch of details about the story and interworking of the world and characters.
Then enters our MC. MC could be a self insert/YN/OC does not matter, but they are originally from our world and universe. Then they somehow get transported(or my personal favorite, reborn) into the fandoms world. The catch??? They are not a fan of the media that they are now a part of. Here's my example of what spurred this idea.
MC is reborn, they remembered dying then they were trapped for a while in a tight room and they feel different from before. One day it's too tight and they break free! Only to discover they are some weird bird monster thing they don't recognize??? and now they're stuck in the nest while growing up??? When they finally learn how to fly they're ecstatic at finally being able to see the world and any of the creatures outside because they haven't seen anything other than their mother and maybe siblings since hatching. They spread their wings and are doing dips and dives and are so happy to finally be rid of the nest and- is that a fucking Jiggly Puff??????!!!!!
Turns out they're like a Ho-Oh or something and what they know of Pokemon is only the base random tidbits from existing on the internet and hearing people talk about it at school. Now they have to deal with random cults, gangs, and scientists going after them because they're super rare and practically a god or something! Bonus if they decide to be like some random quite kids Pokemon who has no interest in fighting, or some sweet old lady who's only other Pokemon is a Magikarp who keeps almost drowning??? despite being a literal fish???? and now they're attached to the old lady and don't want her to be heartbroken about this dumbass fish that won't fish properly?????
But this could be for any fandom at any point in that fandoms time! They could be any character! Imagine them as Harry Potter but they haven't watched the movies much less read the books! Maybe when they were like 12, but they were 48 when they died!!! and that was a lifetime ago and now they have to deal with Voldemort and the Dursleys??? Horcrux?? There was something about a Sword or Gryffindor?? Was that one of them?????
Or ending up in DC comics and deciding they want to fight crime so who better than Batman to train them!? Nevermind how I know your secret identity Bruce! Whos this guy? Your son Damian? I thought his name was Dick? Where's Batgirl? What do you mean which one????
Bonus points if they're actually a convincing liar and most of the freakouts are in their heads where we get a front row seat to the panic and pure "fake it till you make it" attitude with small povs of other characters thinking to themselves about how "it's so amazing this 7year old is so competent!"
Or the exact opposite, where they were a full adult who just got spat out in this new universe and everyone around them is like "What do you mean you didn't know Aliens were real?? Superman literally just saved you last week? What do you mean what does that have to do with Aliens?? Superman is an Alien!!!! How did you not know this?????
IDK, but tag me/lmk if anyone goes anywhere with this because I love this idea of someone having just random tidbits of mixed (and sometimes wildly inaccurate) information from their previous life/world about this new world and the story lines in it!

Workout notes
wow my arms are so weak. like ridiculously weak. i wish i'd be strong arms wise but we're working on it so holding.
did 10/12 minutes bike at intensity 8 which made my clock tick at 135 bpm. That's about 5 kilometers btw so not so slow. it surely hurt a little but that was necessary.
then planks, 4 x 30 seconds regular plank on arms and feet, then 4 x 30 seconds of side planks, alternating. between each rep i took a 30 seconds rest.
then I went full magikarp mode, 15 reps. people call that superman but it's definitely a magikarp move, like splash.
it was time to go to the guided musculation machines. i do one exercise focusing on the upper body then body and i do (as well as i can pull it off) 4 x 12 reps with 1 minute rest in between series.
OST of the day: clipping. started with visions of bodied being burned and then the 2014 eponymous because body and blood is the best song for a bad bitch.
exercises of the day:
1. shoulder press
started at 12.5, died on the 8th rep, finished that series at 10, then barely finished a series at 7.5, and even at 5 kg i was feeling like i was about to die.
2. leg extension
at 25 it was a bit tough on the knee so we cranked it down to 20 and then the 4 x 12 reps were a breeze
3. chest press
first series at 17.5. twas tough but i did it. for the second series i died at the 8th rep so i removed 2.5 kg and finished. switched to 12.5 for the 3rd rep and the same happened. the 4th rep at 12.5 kg was okay but next week i'll try 10 kg from the start and see if it still kills me
4. adductors
40 kg, nothing to say, i have the thighs of a lesbian
5. upper back
20 kg. the second series was tough but i breathed through it and the 3rd and 4th series went okay
6. abductors
see the adductors? same story. 40 kg. lesbian thighs i tell you.
7. vertical traction
i feared that one but it actually went okay. only 20 kg but i did it in full without dying. i may need fingerless gloves because this will get me blisters
8. prone leg curl
started at 30 kg but collapsed at the 8th rep so switched to 20 kg and went through the exercise. it was hard but i completed it.
then it was time for stretching and a little bit of meditation, thinking "oh shit there's no arm curl machine here i wish i would have done that exercise", dressing for the outside world again, going home and writing on Tumblr.
no boxing today because there's an event and everyone's out so i figured i'd take time to do something else (lazy me).
love, demibussie
(it's very hard for me to smile on pictures)

"You know I really like this new game Gary showed me from Earth: it's called 'Pokemon'. The evolving to get god-like powers kinda reminds me of what I went through, but without all the clinical depression, self-loathing and everyone I know almost dying systematically."
Tumblr media
"My favorite is Magikarp though, I love those stupid, thoughtless eyes of his."

I hope this isn't too rude or assuming, but I also wanted to know, if u had any favorite moments in any media u've liked that you're okay with sharing? (just asking since this also appears to be a fandom(??) / anime(??) blog and if u're ok with answering something really offtopic)
ANON I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU…. I WOULD LOVE TO INFODUMP ABT MY INTERESTS. PLS. sadly yes i’m mostly a fandom/interests blog, mostly cnovels and manhua, so this ask is pretty on-topic for my blog. obligatory disclaimer a lot of these things have Problems and Issues so this isn’t me saying i am an uncritical fan of the media this is just a list of scenes that make me incredibly hhghgnnneennn. some of them made me cry in the chicken feed aisle in a Tractor’s Supply once and im still upset abt that one. a lot of these have spoilers for various cnovels so i put it under a cut :)
additional warning that um. there's a lot of mentioned death/suicide. most of these are characters dying honestly
so, Media Of All Time favourite scenes:
(tgcf) legitimately every scene with qi rong im not joking i go crazy over him. notable mention of that scene in the Final Battle with gu zi……….. i’m insane
(liu yao) um. i don’t remember the main character’s name. but yeah him dying <3 jiayou! that one drives me insane i read it like once a week
(nan chan) mr human magikarp fucking dying and jin ling just….. losing it
(nan chan) jin ling’s subsequent imprisonment and isolation :)
(nan chan) JIN LING MURDER SPREE!!!!!!!
(huang jin tai) yan xiaohan getting drugged and immediately going to stab himself so that he doesn’t “betray” fu shen
(qian qiu) yan wushi hiding shen qiao in that buddha statue and running off to die
(teio) THE FUCKING EARTHWORM CRYING. GOD
(teio) everything with bai ruoyao. i love him im so homophobic
(mo du) fei du suffering for five entire books straight
(mo du) that scene near the end where he has to grasp the trigger handhold and his Immense Certified Trauma kicks in
(mo du) luo wenzhou NOT pokemon evolving into a big red flag the second he got one glimpse past fei du’s walls. Like that man saw Fei Du: Genuinely Unwell Extraordinaire, and not only did he not jab fd with a horse tranq, he just went and made the man dinner. what the fuck
(twwtadsl) the betrayal scene <3
(tsomd) sui zhou almost dying for tang fan like 2302984 times but notable mention of the First Time when he tried to die for tang fan in the fight against the tomb guardian
(missing sect leader) wei jiangyue going “I JUST CANT STAND IT WHEN HE’S NOT ALRIGHT……………..”
(missing sect leader) wei jiangyue making a bet with ye you that hinges the fate of the world or whatever and his terms for if he wins. instead of using the chance to ask for something large. he asks yy to just tell him something. anything at all. just tell him something
(missing sect leader) wei jiangyue telling ye you he will die for him to repent for his father’s mistake but hiding the fact that his willingness to die for yy comes from his love for him, not his guilt
(missing sect leader) that scene where yy reveals his identity and wjy realises that no matter what he has to leave yy alone and cannot even approach him again. and just sinking in shame and regret to spend his entire lifetime in pain from the fact that his presence causes yy pain
(missing sect leader) in front of the entire jianghu. wei jiangyue giving himself up to the threat of being brutally killed be ye you if it meant yy was given some sort of closure. jesus christ i don’t even like this book this much and yy/wjy isn’t even canon why do they have so much on this list
(tong qian kan shi) the insect cave scene <3
(tqks) xuanmin closing his eyes as he is put through incredible pain and torture, being literally killed, in order for xue xian to enact his revenge against the great priest
(tqks) the great priest forcing xx to recognize that his revenge will also kill xuanmin as collateral, xx not recognising xuanmin, and xuanmin just. closing his eyes and accepting his death
(tqks) xuanmin using his last dying action to dig out his own bones and bury them under the mountains to free xue xian.
(tqks) xuanmin making his way over to the unconscious xue xian, kneeling in front of him (really falling lmao), and dying while never looking away from his face :)
(tqks) xx regaining his memories, remembering xuanmin, and looking up to see xuanmin laying dead in his arms. then feeling fear for the first time in his life. man. man. ok
(qqgk) “MY DEAR, IF I LEFT MYSELF BY YOUR EAR, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO HEAR ME? MAY WE MEET AGAIN IN A WORLD WHERE THE SMOKE IS GONE” THIS QUOTE MAKES ME INSANE. IM INSANE. JESUS CHRIST
(qqgk) the recurring imagery of snow. the snow. its about. it’s about. The devotion. oh god
(hsav) xiao yuan trying to die like. 6 times for yan heqing. also xya being tortured to save yhq. and then him trying to kill himself earlier . and then him killing himself for real later to make life easier for yhq
(tgcf) just. everything honestly. the “i am god” scene. the getting demolished by a ridiculous amount of swords scene.
(wushuang) cui buqu in the maze trying to die for feng xiao
(wushuang) feng xiao in the maze trying to die for cui buqu
(zhongji lanyin) su qing almost dying under the cave-in
(zhongji lanyin) hu bugui protecting su qing from the thorns
(谁动了我的骨灰坛) jiang xichu seeing chen man kill herself and not being able to do anything about it. literally the only scene i care abt from that book i ate that shit up
okay typing this out made me realise there is a very noticeable theme here. well. i really like tragedy so honestly i don't know know what i expected from this. if i re-read all my favourite books i would probably be able to give you a list of scenes i loved that have legitimate literary importance, value, and beauty, but sadly i have the memory of a goldfish and cannot remember most plots unless im Actively Looking At Them. so instead here is a list of scenes that are all candidates for making me cry during my next visit to a Tractor's Supply. thank you sm for the ask im in love with you

Hey! How've you been? I hope you're doing well and that everything's ok!
You're awesome, amazing, wonderful, lovely, kind and so much more! Stay safe and positive and make sure to have lots of water and some fruit! (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。(*˘︶˘*).。*♡( ◜‿◝ )♡
Hey, sorry for taking so long to reply again. I saw ur previous ones, but been so out of it, havent done much on tumblr besides a few posts on my comic blogs. A lot has happened recently. My foster mom's brother passed. And Im applying for college. Gonna be living in dorm on campus. Been sick with an unknown thing and its been getting worse. Have a surgery coming up in a few weeks. But things were seeming to calm down a bit, then..
We went to a local fair. Me and my foster mom both won a fish.
Tumblr media
This was Feebas. The fair kept the fish in horrible conditions (ie., dyed water, low water, etc.) we got a tank set up in my room for both of the fish.
Tumblr media
Feebas did not make it thru the night. Woke up and they were dead. They didnt get to live in a nice clean big tank. Died in a awful small one. Felt awful. Still do.
Tumblr media
But their friend Dippy (foster moms fish) hung in there. They were moved into the tank today.
The whole thing just reminds me of when I won a fosh when I was a kid, named it Magikarp. They lived for years, and I also got them a roommate named Goldeen. They thrived for years. Before I left the country for a month. Parents were supposed to feed them for me...
They did not.
RIP Magikarp, Goldeen, Feebas. Hope that the future fish I take care of can live the happy lives you didn't get.
Besides that, going thru therapy with my main past trauma. Been tough. But best to let the wounds heal then fester I suppose. Got on food stamps, so thats a good step I suppose. Just feeling pretty down. But thanks for always sending kind asks. Even if I dont reply, I read them and it helps.

Poke Wars: The Subsistence (2008-2009) KILL COUNT
ID below cut
Text on left: Welcome to Red Counts Kills, where we tally up the victims in all our favorite media, mostly edgy Pokemon fanfictions, now in a new layout! I’m Redwood Reed, and today we’re looking at the vaguely cosmic horror and definitely survival horror Poke Wars: The Subsistence, a Pokemon fanfiction which ran from 2008 to 2009 on fanfiction.net, though it’s no longer canon in the universe it started.
That’s because it was written when Cornova, the main series’s author, was kinda shit at writing, which definitely shows, what with the poorly-implemented love triangle, terrible grammar, and out of character moments of the fic. Despite all that, Subsistence is among my better liked Pokemon fics I’ve read.
Though all the Pokemon have become homicidally powerful overnight, and society breaks down in days, Subsistence isn’t completely devoid of hope. People are managing to live and have a vaguely good time together in the new world they’ve been abruptly shoved into, and I honestly love to see it. It adds depth to what could’ve just been mindless death and misery.
Of course, no matter how quickly people as a whole have managed to adapt to a sudden apocalypse, plenty of em are still gonna die. How many? Let’s find out and get to the kills!
Numbers icons: Female in nurse hat with eyes dripping, unaltered male and female, female in police hat, unaltered unknown gender and male, male with torso at angle, unaltered female, male holding a Magikarp with an "offering hand" stock image, Minecraft oak tree, female in police hat, male in samurai helmet with katana impaling him, male holding books in front of him, female with limbs bent wildly, male crushed flat
Text on right: Not including Delia or Misty’s sisters, I counted 15 kills in Poke Wars: The Subsistence. Among the victims, there were 8 males, 6 females, and 1 unseen person killed behind a door.
With a length of 38 chapters including the epilogue, that means every chapter has an average of 0.39 kills.
Golden Chainsaw for Coolest Kill goes to the Nurse Joy found dying near the start of the fic, whose EYES WERE MELTED BY ELECTROCUTION HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
Dull Machete for Lamest Kill goes to the Viridian Forest Samurai, who pointlessly committed seppuku after a Golbat gnawed on his shoulder. I can’t think of a genuine reason for him to do that, even two years after first reading the fic, and plus he got revived immediately, with the only things keeping him on the list being the narration explicitly stating he’s speaking his last words and the fact he gets vampire bat powers, sure. At least it introduces the fact humans have also been Undampened.
Master Ball for the Coolest Battle isn’t going to a battle, even though those exist here, because all of them feel like they’d work better animated. It’s instead gonna go to the Undampening, the inciting incident that gives all Pokemon a bloodlust, and the means to scratch their itch.
And that’s it! Poke Wars: The Subsistence started an entire universe of connected fanfics, which made its way onto TVTropes and even has entries originated in Spanish. See you all the next time I decide to do one of these. ‘Till then, I’m Redwood Reed, and this has been Red Counts Kills. Be good people.

Non prompt related question: what’s your favorite Pokémon?
I have a story.
Growing up, my parents wouldn't let me play/watch Pokemon. (I don't know why. I haven't received a satisfactory answer. I think it was equal parts my mom thinking video games were bad and my dad thinking the TV show was stupid, which...mmm.) So I bought my first Pokemon game, with my own-ass grownup money I made working at Kohl's, when I was 19.
You know what else I bought with my own-ass grownup money when I was 19? Yup, that's right, a 40-gallon breeder tank and two massive show-quality oranda goldfish. I named them Biscuit and Gravy. They were great and had/ate many babies, but the point of this story is I fucking loved fish at the time. Still do, just don't have any anymore.
Anyway. I know shit about Pokemon. I love fish. I have just stumbled into my first Pokemon game. Imagine my utter surprise and delight when I realize that there is a goldfish Pokemon.
Tumblr media
After I've had the game for several months, I'm complaining to my almost-boyfriend (whose name I don't even remember, that's how "almost" he was) that the game's too hard. I can't beat anybody. I keep dying, I can't level up.
"Well, let me take a look at your team," he says, so I take my DSi out of my button-and-keychain-bestudded backpack and hand it over.
"I just caught a bunch of my favorite Pokemon," I explain.
He opens the DS. He pulls up the game's menu. He looks. He looks. He looks. He hands the system wordlessly back to me, then puts his head down on the table and stays there. After five or ten minutes of silence, I quietly put my DS back in my backpack, get up, and leave.
We don't talk much after that.
Not too many months later, he transferred to UC Denver. He said it was to be closer to family. But I can't help thinking of him, years and miles away, lying awake at night, haunted by the echoing memory of my team of six Level 2 Magikarp.
Magikarps?
Anyway. Still my favorite Pokemon.

So this is basically PMD x Kirby
(Here’s a key: pink is the name of the character, green is the Pokemon they chose, blue means male, pink means female, purple is the description of design changes)
So, before I explain who gets who, Adeleine sets up a few rules/guidelines for everyone.
1: The couch. Adeleine and Ribbon live in a cottage on the outskirts of town and therefore have a small house. When everyone’s there, she has a set seating system: tall people (DDD, herself, Daroach, etc) have to sit on the couch or in the general back. Short people (basically everyone else) sit in front of the couch and around the floor (she gives them pillows and floor seats of course)
2: No repeats! It’s to help her remember and also to not cause confusion or arguments. Nobody gets to have the same Pokemon as someone else (the only exception being if they plan to evolve them into a branching evolution, like Gardevoir and Gallade in the Ralts line)
3: Personalize! Everyone gets to add design changes to theirs (cut ear, different patterns, accessories, etc) to make them their own! They also assign genders to theirs and if they can’t decide, dice are rolled. Odds for male, evens for female (they can choose not to, but the vast majority were like “yeah whatever let’s just give them a gender”).
Ok onto the actual Pokemon
Adeleine: Chikorita, female, wears a scarf (part of the in-game story) and has a multicolored head leaf! Also had a small crystal hanging from her neck!
She saw the design and called them a “tiny dinosaur with a big leaf” and immediately decided on them. She loves them to death and thinks they’re the cutest Pokemon on the planet.
Ribbon: Fennekin, female, wears a scarf (part of the in-game story), has fur that is more pink than red, and wears a huge red bow! Also has a small crystal hanging from her neck!
Couldn’t choose the same Pokemon as Adeleine and thought Fennekin looked beautiful (she was even more excited when she saw the final evolution). She also has a type matchup with Adeleine and absolutely takes bullets for her to keep her from dying.
Kirby: Eevee, female, white fur is tinted pink, has blue eyes instead of brown, and wears bunch of colorful accessories like bows, bracelets/anklets, and collars!
Couldn’t decide on the gender and the dice rolled female! He doesn’t care and loves his Eevee!!! He likes how soft they look and how they have different evolution!! It’s like his copy abilities!!! He’s stuck trying to figure out what to evolve them into tho.
Dedede: Piplup, male, wears a big robe and hat, body is a slightly darker and more vibrant blue, and is a little chubbier!
He convinced Adeleine to take on a more difficult dungeon request for this (she got a big dinner at the royal table and got to stay the night in one of the royal rooms out of it though so it was worth it) and after a near 2 hour run and almost 3 game overs, she got it. Dedede only wanted it because it’s the only penguin Pokemon in the series and he wanted a big penguin like himself!!!
Meta Knight: Ralts (Gallade), male, wears a mask like his own, has more jagged blades, and wears a cape!
Only picked them because they saw Gallade and said “yeah that’s gonna be me” and didn’t wait for an answer. He likes their arm blades and the fact that they have a mega evolution (even BIGGER blades!!!!!!! A big tattered cape!!!!!! Badass looks!!!!! What’s not to like!!!!)
Bandee: Karrablast, male, wears a blue bandana, body is orange instead of blue, stomach is cream instead of orange, and has a tiny spear (this is later removed when they evolve)!!!
They saw Escavalier and got super excited!! Double spear arms!!! Armored and tough looking!!! They like how tough they look and 100% chose them for that reason only (although the Pokemon kinda grew on them over time). Not ultra tough right now but they’re getting there!
Marx: Sableye, male, gems are basically mirrors, wears a jester cap like his own, and has only 2 claws instead of 3!!
He likes how fucking creepy they look and how their mega evolution has teeth. It’s a very specific detail they will absolutely drill into why they like them so much. They also like how powerful they can be if used correctly!
Gooey: Goomy, female, body is shades of blue instead of purple, has a tongue that noticeably sticks out!!
He originally wanted Ditto but then they saw Goomy and felt a certain kind of love for them. He also couldn’t decide and the dice rolled female! He likes how the name is similar to his own and how they’re goopy like him!!! They’re also super squishy and he is too!!!!!!
Rick: Dedenne, male, tail is shorter, body is similar in color to him, has beans!!!!!!
He likes how they’re kinda hamster-esc!! They have electricity too which is hella cool. They look kinda soft to him and he was mildly upset over them not having paw beans and demanded that Dedenne be given justice by having them drawn in (Adeleine totally agrees to this). He likes to think they’re mega soft like himself!!!
Kine: Magikarp, male, slightly flatter, blue instead of orange, larger fins!!
He couldn’t choose a Pokemon and eventually just settled on Magikarp because he thought they’d be ok. Didn’t realize they evolve into such a big Pokemon until they saw what it looked like in one of the dungeons. The keep bragging about how powerful they’re gonna be when they finally evolve, but nobody is taking him seriously because he can only use 1 move as of now and hasn’t reached a point where he can evolve yet.
Coo: Hoothoot, male, body is purple instead of brown, has spiked feathers on his head, has a softer and fluffier appearance!!!!!
It’s an owl. He wanted to be an owl. He reeeeaaallly wants to evolve because Noctowl looks way cooler but he’s fine with what he’s got for now!!! He has a speed based build because he can fly very fast :)
Dark Meta Knight: Noibat, female, monochromatic colors with some red mixed in, mask with a scar, tattered wing membrane!!!
Purposefully decided on having a femal because he thinks it kicks ass a little more (also he loves his adopted daughter and decided that would be badass too). Built like a fucking assault tank but with speed. He absolutely leads the charge when he’s playing and takes every fucking hit possible if it’s aimed at his daughter. Gloats about his badass evolution and how fucking sick it looks despite having not evolved yet.
Daroach: Sneasel, male, wears a cloak and hat like his own, has yellow and longer claws!!!!
He didn’t like any of the existing rats and said “lemme get a thief pokemon” and settled on Sneasel. They have a team called the Squeak Squad and it’s comprised of his Sneasel and the squeaks own copies of the game! They play together in their free time and Daroach had Adeleine grab him a Sneasel so he could play on her copy too.
Magolor: Inkay, male, wears a blue cloak like his own, has yellow eyes!!! (The cloak doesn’t really fit until Inkay evolves)
Physically couldn’t choose and then someone showed him Inkay and he said “oh! I fucking hate them.” It was only until they showed him Malamar that he said “oh they look like they’d backstab someone. Perfect.” He likes how fucking ominous they look and how they would 100% be a supervillain given the chance. His Inkay is a good guy tho don’t worry.
Taranza: Joltik, male, has tiny fangs and little horns that grow out when they evolve, wears a cape, has little gloves on their hands!!!
He wanted Flabebe because of the flowers but was told someone already took that one and decided he’d take a spider Pokemon! Almost settled on Ariados but then saw Galvantula and got super excited. He likes their fuzzy look and thinks they are a lovely Pokemon!!
Susie: Gothita, female, eyes are gradient blue with no pupils, has pink accents on the head, more modern appearance!!
She couldn’t find any pretty ones with tech on them but liked Gothita! She thinks they look ok and Adeleine was nice enough to invite her over for PMD game day so she joined in. Her Gothita is surprisingly beastly and is a heavy hitter! However she also gets her ass kicked really fast because Gothita isn’t built for up close heavy hitting.
Zan Partizanne: Shinx, female, wears the same clothes as her, has more yellow on her!!
She really liked how Shinx looks. Tiny electric kitty puppy thing! She wanted to name it after some kind of thunder deity but wasn’t able to (she probably had a name for it tho). Speedy little powerhouse who looks adorable. Continues to tell Adeleine that she’s only doing this to repay her debt (and also for insulting her hairline) but is really just enjoying herself.
Flamberge: Fletchling, female, wears the hat and ribbon-like shawl, has spiked feathers that stick up a lot like her hair, more vibrant red!!!
She fucking loves this little bird. Like. A lot. Something about them is just so awesome to her. Maybe it’s because it evolves into a giant fire falcon but who knows! She just loves them and cherishes them with all her heart. BEGGED Adeleine to recruit them and managed to convince her (she had to offer up making her a cool sword to get it. Adeleine accepted the deal almost immediately because cool ass sword).
Francisca: Vanillite, female, wears the hat and shawl, has more vibrant blue, ice cream part is the same color as her hair!!!
You know exactly why she chose this one. Ice cream baby!!!!!!!! She thinks they’re lovely and wants a plush of them super bad (they don’t make them yet but merch happens eventually!). She jokes that they have an ice cream stash they live in.
Pitch: Pidgey, male, green in color!
He got to join in after the other animal friends told him! He’s good friends with Adeleine (all the animal friends are) and she let him pick a Pokemon! He doesn’t play as much because he has to use his little feet’s but he does his best!
Nago: Glameow, female, body is orange and the ears are brown! Eyes remain closed instead of open to reflect his design!
He wanted it to be a girl just because. He says it’s because it resembles his girlfriend a teensy bit (just in coat color really) and he loves her a lot. Little bastard cat causes trouble on adventures and purposefully runs off to look for the stairs by himself without any incentive from Adeleine.
Chuchu: Frillish, female, wears a small red ribbon and has a more vibrant pink body!!
Couldn’t choose originally but settled on Frillish because it’s the closest thing to her. Nicknamed it frilly and likes to cause problems. She’s got a pretty decent move set and knows how to kick ass with it tho so she makes up for her trouble with that.
Queen Ripple: Flabébé, female, wears glasses and has black ear frill things, wears her crown, and wears her dress!!! Flower is white!
She gets to play too!!!!! Adeleine offered to let her have a Pokemon and she plays though wireless connection! On a very rare occasion, she makes a trip out to Popstar for a week or so and gets to play during then! She has a lot of fun and adores the design for Flabébé so damn much (plus it’s fairy type and that makes her very happy)!!!

Well, if you haven’t heard the news, TFS has declared that they will not be continuing DBZA. While I am disappointed, I understand and respect their decision, and I hope they put their creativity to good use. They uploaded a video to Youtube explaining why, so if you’d like to know more go there.
Anyway, here’s my tribute to DBZA: a show that started out a parody and turned into a remaster.
-
*Ganondorf emerges through a dark portal riding a cerberus, with Bayonetta and Luigi greeting him*
Luigi: Hey! You’ve got a lot of nerve coming back here!
Ganondorf: Oh, a valet, neat. I’m not tipping.
Luigi: Wha- don’t you remember! We fought during the Subspace Battle!
Ganondorf: No, I fought Link and Mario. Bowser fought everyone else. Oh and there was that one idiot who got killed by a Goomba- *Ganondorf realizes who that idiot was* Ahahah! AHAHAHA!
Luigi: Oh yeah? I dare you to come over here and laugh at me!
*Ganondorf zooms over to him*
Ganondorf: Ha. Ha. Ha.
Luigi: S-see! N-now w-we c-an all laugh t-together!
-
Chrom: Young lady! Don’t make me come over there and be a parent!
Lucina: FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING HUH?!
-
*Villager is tasked with greeting the DLC fighters*
Villager: Alright Maggots, listen up. Villager’s ‘bout to teach you the pecking order. It goes you. The water. The Magikarp inside of the water. Mario. Villager’s stool. Then Villager. Any questions?
Terry: Uh, yeah. I-
*Terry gets blasted off the stage*
Villager: Enjoy the climb back up bitch!
-
The Dangers of Time Travel
Chrom, drunk off his ass: Heyyyyy! Just gunna throw this out there, yer... like... real cute.
Lucina: Oh, well, uh, my dad always said I was a cute kid.
Chrom: Oooh, a daddy’s girl huh? I’ll be yer daddy.
Lucina: *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!*
Link: Can I get another Vuln-
Lucina: YES! YES YOU CAN!
-
*Ken has just arrived on the scene to help fight against Metal Sonic*
Terry, on the ground and beaten to a pulp: Hey Ken!
Ken: Terry you idiot, what are you doing?
Terry: Dying... mostly.... little help?
*Ken kicks him through the air to the other Smashers*
Terry: Thanks best buddy!
-
(ROB has just self-destructed in an attempt to kill Ridley. It failed, leaving only his head)
ROB: Lucas.
Lucas: What- What are you-
ROB: Grow. Up.
Lucas: Huh?!
ROB: You act like you are the only one suffering. But I believe that Lucina has some stories for you. And I can assume they all end with, “And then he died too”. And before you start whining about your brother again, and I get it, take a moment to consider that my brother turned me into a souless killing machine for the sheer purpose of killing your best friend. And that doesn’t even come close to the tragedy of fatherhood that is Chrom.
Chrom: YOU WANNA COME UP HERE AND SAY THAT?!
ROB: I am a head!
Chrom: Then maybe you should quit while you are!
ROB: Ridley was right. You think you are better than everyone else but there you stand, the good man doing nothing, and  Lucas…as evil triumphs and your rigid pacifism crumbles into bloodstained dust, the only victory afforded to you is that you struck true to your guns. You are a coward, right to your last whimper. Of fear and love, I fear not that I will die, but that all I have come to love: the birds, and the things that are not birds, will perish with me.
(Ridley walks over and places his foot on ROB’s head)
ROB: So please, Lucas, stop holding back. And hey! If we do make it out of this, please pick up my head… AND BEAT NESS TO DEATH WITH IIIIIITTTT-
(Ridley crushes ROB’s head)
Ridley: I’d say he’s in a better place but… we both know he never had a soul.
(Day of Fate starts to play)
Lucas: Hrrr… hrrr… AHHHHHHHHHH!
(There is an explosion of power as Lucas unleashes his true strength)
Yoshi: Lucas…
(Lucas and Ridley stare each other down, fear no longer in Lucas’s eyes. The true final battle is about to begin.)

If you have multiple muses who are two you’d choose to interact together if you could RP with yourself?
MUNDAY QUESTIONS [ ACCEPTING ]
10. If you have multiple muses who are two you’d choose to interact together if you could RP with yourself?
Tumblr media
As stated before in my other answer. I have three muses that are my little archangels who I desperately want to write and have them interact. To give you the lowdown on my three angels (I’ll consider Huffman my Raphael) here are the dynamics:
TL;DR: I have archangel Gabriel and Michael and Huffman might be my Raphael.
(below cut for those who are interested in my angels since...this is self indulgent)
Tumblr media
Gabriel Valentine (originally based off of Gabriel Agreste from Miraculous Ladybug) - @thebxtterflyeffect
Gabriel is an archangel who poses as a international fashion designer, but is a man who is the head of an underground mercenary group who does shady business in advancing human technology and weaponry by testing on humans. He is known as “Sphinx” and had founded “the Butterfly Sanctuary” where he basically is a madman. He does experiments and just really fucked up stuff and just...I can’t think right now I’m sorry but here’s his pinterest board to help you get a vibe: He is the moral inbetween, the True Neutral so to speak. He is both order and chaos and he is the center of my three angels. He keeps balance in the world and yeah.
[ Gabriel Valentine ] [ the Butterfly Sanctuary ]
Tumblr media
Michael Letterman (originally my Team Rocket OC with six magikarps/gyarados) - @magicmagikarp
Michael is my chaotic evil muse who wants nothing but to destroy the world. He is waiting for the day he can raise war and destroy everything God has made so it can start anew. His human guise is immortal, having suffered so much and pretty messed up in the head as he had died countless of times. He has flawless memory, to the point that he can’t distinguish reality from fantasy and is literally just...fucked up in the head. I mean if you can remember dying and watching videos of how you died on repeat, that’ll do it for you. He works for the mafia, who has their own personal problems and how he achieved this ‘immortality’ in his human form is very specific. It’s a mess but basically he’s an immortal soldier. Like Sato from Ajin. He is both wild and chaotic, and fun and loving, but also ruthless and sadistic. He fears nothing because he has died countless of times. In fact, he wish he could die
[ Michael Letterman ]
Tumblr media
??? Huffman (originally Huffman from Genshin Impact) - @sir-huffman
Huffman is well, as you can guess my lawfully good muse who can’t do any harm. As such, this dynamic of all three polar ends of the extreme is what I really wish I can explore - and probably will in my own little book I’m writing with all three of these characters. He is the angel who is the definition of holy, of the good side of “God” who humanity idealizes. He is perfection. He is the essence of good. It’s just...baffling how perfect his soul is and how he is but a mere mortal in his human guise.
Yeah...It’s hard to explain this dynamic I really wish I could play out. I can’t truly express how intricate this all is without just...unwrapping my headcanons because it’s a lot.

Pokedrabbles 9
(Lance, age 16)
It took weeks for the egg to hatch. Lance had been impatient at the time, but he thinks in retrospect his excitement for the egg to hatch was probably why he’d finally found the magikarp he’d been fishing for for so long.
After all, it’s only when you’re NOT looking for a shiny that one finally stumbles its stupid way onto your fishing line. 
A shiny magikarp, and it was his, all his! Lance was a freakin’ genius fisherman, he was so glad he’d wasted every spare second of his free time with his fishing line in the water! It had all been for this!
Keith’s reaction when Lance showed him his prize was of course, “Oh, were you really still looking for a shiny? It’s been two years, I thought you’d like… let it go.”
Lance had almost thrown he fish right in his stupid face, if it wasn’t, you know. Not good for the pokemon. But screw Keith and his charmeleon both, because as soon as this guy decided he was ready to evolve he’d have a shiny red gyarados and no one would be able to deny Lance was the king of badass.
Anyway, the egg. 
So, Keith and Lance had been taking care of this egg for about a month, trading off who carried it based on whoever was more tired and didn’t feel like dealing with the fairly considerable extra weight the egg provided.
Keith still looked hilariously annoyed with his vulpix for causing this situation in the first place, but Lance could tell he was just as excited as Lance was about the new baby coming. 
Which is why when Lance heard the first cracking of the egg in his backpack on the road to Saffron city, he’d stopped everything and called Keith over to watch.
The egg hatched slowly, with Keith and Lance sitting on the ground eagerly watching the tiny little bundle of love as it exploded into this world.
“Oh my god,” Keith gasped as the vulpix hatched out of its egg, snow white tail fluffed up and blue eyes shining with exposure to the new sunlight. “It’s so… tiny!”
“It’s so cuuuute,” Lance cooed, reaching out to pet the vulpix’s itty-bitty little head. “I love babies, Keith. Love babies so much.”
“It’s so tiny,” Keith said again. “So small.”
Lance laughed, picking up the newborn baby and cradling it in his arms. “You wanna hold her?”
Keith quickly shook his head, no. “I’d drop it and she’d DIE.”
Lance laughed again. “No she wouldn’t,” he paused. “Or… he wouldn’t? It’s still too early to tell, huh.”
Keith make a pathetic noise, hands twitching mid-air like he wanted nothing more in this world than to touch the baby. “It won’t bite if you pet it, you know!” Lance laughed, and Keith tentatively reached out to stroke the fur on top of vulpix’s tiny head.
Keith made a strangled noise like a dying skitty high in his throat, face turned bright red in a blush. It was almost as cute as he vulpix was. Almost.
“Come on, we can’t fawn over him all day,” Lance said, cradling the vulpix in his arms. “Let’s get to Saffron’s pokemon center, and make sure nothing’s wrong with this little guy.”
Keith nodded, adjusting his hat like it could hide his blush. “Yeah, let’s… let’s go.”
It was only another hour to reach Saffron, and when they went to the pokemon center the nurse checked the vulpix out, declared it a boy in perfect health, and returned it to Keith and Lance to figure out what the hell to do with the silly little angel now. 
The fact of the matter was, Keith and Lance were both pretty conservative when it came to catching random pokemon and sending them to the bank. Neither of them had full parties of six yet but they did both already have a vulpix on their team, so training another baby vulpix from scratch just seemed kind of… pointless?
Not to mention the fact that Keith and Lance both had equal claim on the baby. It wasn’t a matter of whether or not the baby was wanted that was in question - it was a matter of whether or not Keith and Lance could actually take care of the little thing while they were off climbing mountains looking for rare pokemon. 
Which meant what they stumbled on when they left the pokemon center was probably fate. A pretty blonde girl in pigtails was tripping over the curb, spilling a bag full jars all over the sidewalk when she chose to protect her own face over the contents of her bag.
Lance and Keith both rushed over to help her without thinking, making sure she hadn’t injured herself when she fell and then offering to help carry the contents of her now broken bag.
“Where did you need to go?” Lance asked, picking up several jars full of what looked like pokemon food. 
“Just to the restaurant around the corner, it’s not very far,” She smiled back. “My name is Romelle, by the way.”
“I’m Lance, and this is Keith.” Lance said, and Keith nodded his head in greeting. “We’re pokemon trainers.”
“I could tell,” Romelle laughed, bending over to greet the baby vulpix sitting on the ground waiting patiently for them. “Hello little friend, what’s your name?”
“He doesn’t have me yet. He was just born a few hours ago, and keith here isn’t in the habit of naming his pokemon anyway, so we never thought to.”
“I ask their names when I get them, and they tell me.” Keith said, like any of that sentence just made sense.
“That’s all they can say at all, though, Keith. Does it really count?”
“None of them ever seemed to mind.”
Romelle laughed. “Do you mind if I pet him?” She asked. “I’ve never seen an Alolan vulpix before, I had no idea their eyes would be so adorably blue!”
Keith and Lance looked at each other, then shrugged. “You can carry him to the restaurant if you want,” Lance offered.
“Our hands are kind of full anyway,” Keith finished for him, gesturing at their arms full of Romelle’s jars.
She all but squealed in delight, gathering the baby up into her arms. “I’m so honored! I don’t have a pokemon of my own, since I just traveled here from Galar. Any chance I get to pet one, I just have to take.”
“Then, what do you have all this pokemon food for?”
“The restaurant, probably,” Keith guessed. 
Romelle nodded. “Yes, it’s for the restaurant, but I actually made all these at home myself!” She opened one of the jars to pour some into her hand, offering it up to vulpix to try. He smelled it for a moment, then happily munched down his first meal, home made food in a pretty girl’s arms. What a lucky little guy. “I love cooking, and I think that feeding pokemon is just as important as feeding us humans! Nutrition is important for everyone, after all.”
“But you don’t have a pokemon of your own to try recipes on?” Lance asked, looking at Keith.
Keith was looking right back at him, and they both turned to glance at Romelle and the baby vulpix as everyone walked to the restaurant together. “Not as of yet,” she said.
Keith nodded at Lance. Lance nodded back, and sighed. Damn, and they hadn’t even gotten a chance to play with the little bastard. Oh well, there would always be more pokemon. And they could always come back to Saffron to visit.
“You should keep him,” Lance said firmly. “That vulpix. Me and Keith didn’t know what we were gonna do with him anyway, so this is kind of a perfect solution.”
Romelle blinked, stopping in her tracks to look at the two trainers. “You really mean it? Such a rare and adorable pokemon, and you're willing to just… give him to me?”
“Well, we still own its parents so,” Keith shrugged. “If we wanted we could just breed more vulpix.” Or more eevees, most likely. How FOUR of their pokemon had apparently fallen in love with each other, Lance would never understand.
Romelle smiled at them, and the vulpix chirped happily at her. “I’ll never know how to thank you two.”
That wasn’t so hard. “Well,” Lance grinned. “You could start by treating us to lunch.”
