I think its important to mention that I only had access to that cursed ass drawing base because *someone* decided to draw sprite and beedrill on it as a joke

found out apparently if you want to consume content of your own original characters and stories you usually have to make that content? fucked up if true

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

tweaked @espers-n-espurrs and @estranger-and-stranger-still’s pins to add a small tw list on both for the general themes of the blog

more may be added later once more is revealed

on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is "fuck it we ball" and you come up with everything as you go and 10 is you have every little thing planned and accounted for and refuse to deviate from said plan, where would you say your writing style lies?

id say either a 7 or an 8? my friends and i have a semi-detailed timeline of all the arcs we plan to do for 2025 with redux and when their going to happen

so while not every little thing is accounted for/planned a good chunk of the major stuff is

and i am willing to deviate from my plans depending on which plan it is and how it would effect other things

like i have some stuff that i know i will refuse to deviate from while i have others that are more malleable and easier to bend to account for other things

how long have your ocs existed? are there any that are connected now that weren't planned to be?

esper is going to be two years old as of next month! but with flynn im not sure,,, i think hes a bit younger than her a he came later, at least og flynn did, redux flynn is a very different guy compared to og flynn

i dont think there are? as all of my ocs are created with the specific idea of them being connected,,, though esper and flynn did become very connected with my friends ocs obviously

bingo is as old as vital spirit so she is NINE MONTHS OLD??? what the fuck,,,, shes aging,,,, (ignore that vital spirit is on hiatus and therefore shes not canonically aging,,,)

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

Do you have a favorite oc to draw or write for? or favorite pokemon?

i think its a toss up between bingo and esper?

i can draw both of them from memory at this point and writing them is so fun, bingos little southern twang and espers overuse of the word “like”,,,

and i think its cause theyre both very similar while still being very very different which may be why i enjoy writing them both so much

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

whats your favourite part about writing esper

shes a “crybaby”

not in a “oh she needs to be coddled at all times or shell have a fit” way

but in the “she has autism, severe ptsd, anxiety, depression, and other things she is unaware of” type of way

and thats very interesting for me to write especially because before i started writing esper all women that i “wrote” (they were all bg characters,,, because i primarily wrote men) never really. cried? they were “badasses” so they never cried or had really any strong emotions?

so getting to write esper and having had her develop as ive grown as a writer has been amazing and its so fun writing her internal thoughts as they spiral out of control and stuff

shes great i love her she cries so much

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

what are your favourite and least favourite things about the pkmn irl community

hmmmm

i think my favorite thing is the creativity of the community; like, you get to tell whatever story you want and at least a few people will be interested, and its very good because if it were a story you were telling in a closed rp server then youd have to worry about people telling you to retcon it or stop if it didnt fit with the vision the others have

i like that we do get to pick and choose what stories and characters we interact with!! its good for us!! because if someone doesnt like your story then they can hit the bricks and neither of you have to deal with it!!

and i think the reason i like the creativity and the ability to choose is because i know the story of redux isnt going to be something everyone likes, same with the story if vital spirit!! and thats okay!!

anyways, onto smth that is my least favorite,,, uhmmm

ysee theres like a lot i dont like and thats because im a little hater

i think smth i dont like is that surprisingly a lot of people?? dont read pinned posts??? thats like the first thing you read!!!

this especially pisses me off because esper and flynn have pelipper mail OFF and yet STILL gets some set to them on occasion and its so annoying seeing that i got an anon only to find that its something i dont allow on my blogs,,,

it also especially pisses me off when its a pelipper mail trying to fix whatever problem my characters have going on at the time without asking first :/

but yeah, pls read pinned post thats where the boundaries and trigger warnings are man

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

i wanted to do a little ooc ask game today but i think ive done most of them? at least the ones i can find

so instead im doing a free for all

you can ask me about my characters, you can ask for my thoughts of different community stuff, you can ask me generally anything as long as its not like weird or uncomfortable

anyways

Ask Me Anything starts now!

“who’s your favorite character?” my friend’s oc. “who’s your favorite character in canon?” my friend’s oc. “your favorite character can’t be your friend’s oc!” the posters on my walls and discord messages say otherwise. my wound has a heartbeat and only my friend’s oc can fix it. goodbye chat

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

Being obsessed with your own ocs is so so good for you i seriously can't recommend it enough

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

thinking about how the wyrmwoods and by extension esper and flynn (ESPECIALLY ESPER) are based vaguely on tma avatars

i saw compulsion and yoinked that motherfucker and gave it to my stupid little psychic family with questionable family practices

and like esper especially inspired by tma shit like,,, guys, cass and i were assigning entities to the redux cast in both the Touched and Avatar sense and like,,,, we realized esper is like one or two entities away from being like,,, Touched by all of em

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

*struggles while writing* i suck and writing is hard

*remembers some ppl use ai* i am a creative force. i am uncorrupted by theft and indolence. i am on a journey to excellence. it is my duty to keep taking joy in creating.

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

you have no idea how much km pacing right now cause smth very important is happening today for Solstice Sempiternal aka esper and victorias arc and AUGAHURGAHFH

i have to be patient and wait for part one to post and then part two AND THEN i can lose my mind

[grims-local-pkmn-irl-hub]

Kind of feels awesome for people to actually understand what you were saying with your art. Like. Man. I'm happy
