rose!volo is here to charm... 🌹💖🌹

Did someone already do this with Ingo and Magolor or...

hello… do you have any thoughts on adorably clingy Volo? Wanting so much attention and love he can’t get enough of it?

ohh that’s a good one! yes, i have some thoughts :3c

I think when you initially start showing him affection, even the smallest things, like just holding his hand or reaching up to brush some leaves out of his hair, that makes his heart warm in a way he can’t quite understand at first. I think it’s because he’s so touch-starved that he doesn’t realize how much he’d missed being comforted with the warmth of someone else’s love, so tangible and real, that he subconsciously latches onto it so so sincerely. It’s as if that will make up for all the years he’d spent alone. Oh, and I’m sure you can make up for all those years.

❥ When he’s more aware of how he feels about you, Volo eases himself into it. I think how quickly he begins truly enjoying your attention and little acts of love depends on how often you show him that affection, but once you start, he knows what it’s like, and he’ll slowly want more. It’s the small things with him at first, too: He takes your hand before you have a chance to grab his, or he straightens out the overcoat that’d bunched up near your shoulders, or he takes it upon himself to sweep away the dust on your pants. When you realize that he’s reciprocating because he wants you to give him that same attention, you really should, or the subtlest pout might show up on his lips. (And that pout becomes more obvious the longer you’re around him.)

❥ Once he’s very comfortable with your affection, he’ll just start asking you to indulge him, though. He’s kind of dramatic but only because he realizes how much you’re affecting him, and that he needs you. “My love, why don’t you kiss me? I’ve been dreadfully lonely.” Meaningful winks and wandering hands. If you tell him that you’ve literally been by his side all day, he’ll just ignore you and play silly. “Oh, it’s been so long since I’ve last hugged you!” Volo’s not asking anymore, he’ll just start doing. Sweeping you up into a hug, nuzzling into your neck, kissing your cheeks and then your lips in a surprise you won’t see coming until it happens. He really doesn’t want to let you go, and it’s a fight to get him to do anything else besides that. But who wants Volo to let them go?

❥ If you’re not paying him enough attention, and he just can’t get enough of you, Volo is certainly the type of man to not quite show or tell you directly that he’s impatient or fed up, minus the little hints you’ve probably picked up on—that slight pursing of his lips, huffing beneath his breath, or even a few mild complaints here and there. But he’ll definitely go and show you once he’s reached his limit, pressing you up somewhere and showering you in his affection. Preferably away from prying eyes, unless he’s trying to make someone jealous.

❥ Though Volo turns to mush when you treat him the same, and especially when you’re gentle with him. It’s when he least expects you to turn to him with such kindness and love that he always falls apart beneath your touch, even if he’s still standing. You know, however, the effect that you have on him. His eye is slightly glazed over, there’s that meaningful pink on his cheeks, and he’s silent for just a little too long. (It’s cute.) It happens often when you spend a quiet moment together, as if he can’t believe that you’re giving him your love. You might have to wake him up from his blissful disbelief with a reminder of how real you are—he’ll certainly appreciate that! Volo loves you a lot, and after all, he’s just terrible at letting you go.

THIS EVENT WAS MADE FOR MEEEEE

my friend said Ingo would be playing the Unovan Elite Four theme when beating up Volo

I had to joggle my memory and listen to the theme again and I agree with your friend! Crank that music up!! This is also inspired by the Kermit the frog meme XD

Lady Sneasler made an oopsie, but at least she stopped the fighting? Those are also pecha berries Ingo was gathering for Emmet since he does not have poison immunity like he does XD

Zora calls Lady Sneasler by ‘Sneasler Aneki’ or ‘Sneasler Ane’ for short ;D

Thank you Anon for enjoying my comics and artwork!!  I believe these are also responses to the ‘Our Home’ comic so feel free to read that here for context 

HELP THIS WAS ON A PINTEREST POST OF A SCREENSHOT OF VOLO BEING EVIL

OH MY GOD YOURE SO RIGHT I NEED TO ADD VOLO

A very accurate power fantasy.

(Yet another out of context fic illustration)

2 for Volo B)

#2: If you had to choose between a Pokémon you really like but who isn't as strong versus a Pokémon you're less bonded to but who is stronger, which would you pick?

"What a ridiculous false dichotomy. The answer depends on the situation, and in many situations you don't have to choose at all. If I were in a low-stakes battle and yet still wished to win, I might pick the former. If I were to battle to achieve my revolutionary aims, I would pick the former because I would need the Pokémon who fought by my side to be loyal and trusted partners. Sometimes you do need to choose the stronger one in order to get the job done--but sometimes, strength also isn't everything; if I need an expert rather than a fighter, I wouldn't even care about battling strength when choosing who to fix the problem. And if I were to battle to raise my Pokémon companions' experience, I would use both--the former to increase their strength, the latter to increase our bond. Who comes up with these sorts of questions?"

love my current icon too much to change it but i must admit this bastard is tempting me with his smug little smile.

Smacking rude people out of our main tag again with a fly swatter

Everyone knows now in retrospect, the inevitable tragedy, except you. Equal parts perpetrator and victim of the slaughter.

@ask-jaune-npr [ x ]:

Lord Jaune of the house Arc had no idea how he'd gotten mixed up in this mess. Mixed up with Nyssa more specifically. He'd been sent to their house as a kind of bargaining chip, due to their families long standing rivalry. The Volos controlled the dragons and his family hunted them. The last thing he expected was to fall for the Heiress of the kingdom

“You’re thinking hard again,” she remarked, unaware of where his thoughts were wandering. Nyssa hadn’t expected to become attracted to the son of her family’s greatest enemy, but she had. It was likely that her mother, before her death, had arranged all this to try and end a centuries’long rivalry between the clans. Regardless, Nyssa swam over to the edge of the pool, her pale hair long enough to float behind her on the water, her elbows propped up on the tiled side. “Would you share your thoughts with me, Jaune?”

Coming into your ask box for once, In response to the Giratina-Volo thing, people really think he's possessed by Giratina? To me it's so obvious his plans were his plans alone, Volo wanted to destroy Arceus and knew Giratina was his best chance at achieving that. Giratina is a convenience to him.

It's mostly on TV Tropes, where half of the trope entries related to his character assume that he was driven insane by the Spooky Plate to carry out Giratina's bidding, even noting how "illogical/problematic" this makes Giratina's redemption.

Please think for a second about how little sense that interpretation makes, especially given that the entire plan hinged on Giratina's abilities.

Last Line Tag

Tagged by @ink-flavored​ thank you!!! I love tag games 8D

Rules: post the last line or snippet you’ve written in your chosen WIP!

I was going to post a WIP from A Piece of You but y’know what? Have a snippet from my extensive pokemon world I’ve been writing.

There were words, so many words, apologies and regrets weighing so heavily on his tongue, but none of them spilling from his lips. Volo looked at him with an expression he had last seen when the Moltres confessed the depth of his attachment to Eve and Twyen and how he couldn’t remain on the hunt for Eve. It was an expression that would have once brought him malice and a witty tongue, but now it was a comfort he silently wished would be followed by a warm embrace.

“Apologetic is not a good look on you…” He whispered with a hand gently tracing his mangled ear, trailing down to the burns across his face. His form shifted further, his long blonde hair streaked with the familiar red and black of the galarian moltres; an unreadable emotion across his face that Alexander did not have the heart nor strength to open his mind to understand.  “Let’s treat those burns.”

The salt of his tears stung, but despite the pain he couldn’t help but lean into the touch, holding the hand touching his face with both of his own like a lifeline.

“Please.”

Tagging (no pressure!): consider yourself tagged!

hues and shades!!!

Send in “Hues and Shades” and my muse will tell you what color(s) they associate most with yours.

"This might sound a little bit out of nowhere, but the color you give me the most is actually pink!"

"Kinda reddish, not very bright, I'd say pretty close to beige but that's not exactly it. I'll remember the name later, but it's the kind of color that comes to mind when you think of someone who's flustered and confused."
