blease,,, steven but he's beat up. or steven and his team together. depends on your comfort lvl w/ drawing beat up characters but i think he would look nice a little bloodied and bruised in your style. ❣️

Round 1 Side A: Poll #1

Propaganda!

Steven Stone:

fruity as hell and loves rocks a lot. what more do i need to say. he is perfect (read as: probably licks rocks because geologists do that)

Ron Delite:

Ok so I just remembered him and had to rush to submit him so I don't have much propaganda BUT take one look at that man and tell me he's not submissive and breedable yk

free space to say anything you want about steven im so interested in your thoughts

This ask has been sitting in my inbox for a while now because I've been unsure about how I want to go about attacking it (you've given me such a gift, anon)

But I think I'll use this as an opportunity to publicly share a long line of characterization thoughts I discussed one day in the steven stone appreciation discord server (compiled below the cut, it's going to be kinda messy)

Personally i like to see Steven as someone who has everything to lose. He’s smart, rich, educated, handsome, a skilled battler, and a regional darling. This is going to be controversial but I think he had a loving family and a fulfilling (albeit very sheltered) upbringing. He seems like the kind of guy who could very easily get anything he wanted. But i also see him as someone who’s aware of that and puts in genuine effort to see reality outside of his bubble.

I see him as someone who never really experienced personal tragedy growing up, and as someone who a few members of the general public could get frustrated with for “privilege-blindness”. Like he’s someone who was basically placed on a high rung at birth but still needed to climb upwards. Most people love him (rightfully so) but others are more than ready to have a reason to throw rocks at him. I think I take this approach mainly because I'm really fascinated by IRL celebrity culture from an outsider's perspective

But, in his core, he's a good guy with healthy morals who has much to learn about the world around him.

and now for some shitpost headcanons

beldum was a devon corp invention originally intended to be a smart can opener. it accidentally gained sentience and became the president's young son's best friend

steven's mother isn't dead or even absent. she just happened to be visiting kalos during the events of the hoenn games and had the shock of her life finding out about the weather crisis through buzznav's emergency alerts (steven had twenty-seven missed calls from mom during this time)

steven's perception of money is very much the "it's one banana what could it cost 10 dollars" meme. this is both a positive and a negative

steven has a relatively sharp sense of style except when it comes to casual wear (that summer outfit is divorcecore)

[championdaigo]

i love your drawings mwah kissing your hands tenderly and platonically

Thank you very very much!! ♡♡ Very much appreciated 😘

steven but the day he first became the champion

The 18-year-old challenger used a strange but strong Pokémon never seen before in Hoenn. The Pokémon, Metagross, led the Rustboro native to an astounding victory.

I know the manga has its own lore for how Steven got the champion title but it's MY blog and I choose the backstory!!!

[championdaigo]

The rain came pouring down when I was drowning; that's when I could finally breathe. And by morning, gone was any trace of you—I think I am finally clean.

[championdaigo]

Well that’s pretty damning lmao

Asking because I’m genuinely curious where most people stand

More of Steven Stone's ancestor who

collects rare rocks ♥

is very normal!!

thinks about rayquaza a regular amount

has no reason to be shamed or disliked by any particular groups of people

has innocent reasons for asking you to help her gather meteorite shards

is not a threat to the world

does not accept criticism on her rayquaza gijinka cosplay

[championdaigo]

There could littlerly be a huge meteorite about to crash into earth and kill everyone. Yet ya all would just point at it and say "chiken little refrance" or some shit like that

[championdaigo]

why is this cradily cooler than me
