Oh, I'll be active all right! I'm having trouble NOT thinking about it right now. I did post a drawing of Phineas and Ferb not too long ago, because I hadn't drawn them since I was a kid and I wanted to try again now that I'm almost always drawing SOMETHING. And I'm seriously thinking about making a post talking about the time I went as Perry the Platypus for Halloween one year during the show's peak popularity, THAT was SO FUN!

Okay, I literally have been obsessing over EVERYTHING Phineas and Ferb lately, what with the upcoming revival and all, so I wanna know...who else here likes the show?

Please please please let there be tons of PnF fans on here...I NEED some people to talk about it with, especially people who hold neurodivergent headcanons for the characters because in my opinion this show IS FULL OF ND CODING! I don't care that it was unintentional, it's just THERE, and it's great, it makes the characters more relatable, and I LOVE IT!!!

(Also the fact that Dan Povenmire himself is ADHD makes the ND traits in the characters feel real, even though it wasn't intentional.)

You've had way better luck with your siblings than I have when it comes to watching the show, I have a sinking feeling that only one of my brothers actually likes it and will watch it willingly...oh well, it was way before their time (the two brothers I'm trying to introduce it to were literal babies when it came out, yeah I know, huge age gap since I was 9 and they were babies, blah blah blah, I get that all the time 😅). My friends haven't really actually seen much of it either so that's why I've turned to Tumblr.

But I am SO EXCITED for the revival! I'm planning on celebrating the revival by covering "Gitchee Gitchee Goo" on my YouTube channel since it's probably the most iconic PnF song (and it's still one of my favorites to this day even though it's mostly gibberish...it's just so fun to sing)! I'll also definitely start drawing the characters more often too, they're fun to draw and a lot simpler than the Pokémon stuff I usually draw.

I was like, 9 years old when it came out, and I latched onto it SO FAST, I liked the creative and imaginative nature of it, as a creative type myself (I'm autistic so my creativity helps me to be able to express myself, it's still my main way of doing that), and the formula felt comforting to me, while the songs were fun and catchy. I remember HATING the episode "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted" though, that one gave me nightmares for a while and it's still one of my least favorite episodes to this day, though Act Your Age has really brought that one up on my episode ranking...I can't STAND Act Your Age.

Since my brothers were way too young when the show came out, I'm trying to get (2 out of 3 since one of them doesn't watch TV unless sports are on) them into it now so we can hopefully watch the revival together...one of them seems to like it so far, I showed him a couple classic episodes when we were home alone one day and he had fun with it, I taught him the song "Gitchee Gitchee Goo" and he LOVES it, to the point where if we're hanging out and I sing "Bow chicka bow-wow" he follows up with "That's what my baby says" and then we just start singing the whole thing. His twin however, I've shown him a few clips and he seemed to like it, though he hasn't let me show him a full episode yet, but I'm still trying! 😅

PokéSpe Pearl needs some SERIOUS therapy after all he went through, and I'm gonna tell you why! (HEADCANONS GALORE, DON'T LIKE HEADCANONS, DON'T INTERACT WITH THIS!!!)

I think I might be coming down with something (it's winter here and I'm so hot and clammy I'm seriously about to change out of my long sleeves and sweatpants and switch them out with short sleeves and shorts, I'm not joking), buuuuut I'd been working on gathering photos from my DPPt manga volumes to use for this post since I'd had an idea to do this for a WHILE now, and I really wanna get it done, so my hyperfocus won over my health again (as if that doesn't happen all the time).

Anyway, here's the post!

(BE WARNED, THERE ARE HEADCANONS GALORE IN HERE!!! DON'T LIKE HEADCANONS??? DON'T INTERACT WITH THIS!!!)

So, I'm back with another PokéSpe post, this time about my boy Pearl and the reasons why I think he needs some SERIOUS therapy, I went through my volumes and gathered photos of some scenes that he had to endure/witness throughout his journey. So all aboard the Pearl trauma train as we explore why (in my opinion anyway) there's no way in heck that this boy is okay (and why I seriously love the fanfics that explore this concept and wish there were more of them).

First, a couple of general things/headcanons that make me think he needs therapy:

He's EXTREMELY ANXIOUS, he freaks out over the smallest things (especially in the earlier volumes), I headcanon he has GAD because of that, because I have GAD myself and it's like that for me too. Also don't forget my headcanon that he's neurodivergent (AuDHD) from that post I made last year! That wouldn't help things either.

He's EXTREMELY PARENTIFIED throughout the ENTIRE JOURNEY, which does not help the anxiety of this 12 YEAR OLD CHILD!!!

He doesn't really know how to handle his emotions (that's Dia's thing), so he lashes out a lot. He also doesn't like showing vulnerability (that's ALSO Dia's thing).

I will try to go in order of events as best I can. If I missed anything, please feel free to let me know what I missed. Here we go!

(Volume 2) Nearly being buried alive by Cyrus inside Mt. Coronet.

(Volume 3) Witnessing Paka and Uji be ripped from the world (look at his desperation to save them and shock when he's told there's nothing that he can do).

And then this reaction after they disappear is just...he's traumatized, look at him, that facial expression says it all, also the fact that he can't even stop shaking as he tries to process it, to the point where he needs to lean on Diamond so he doesn't collapse on the ground.

(It's a tiny bit similar to one of my traumatized Orange expressions actually, though I'm obviously not nearly as good at drawing facial expressions.)

Anyway...back to Pearl and the stuff he's been through!

(Volumes 5-6) Accidentally stepping on a moving conveyor belt in the Fuego Ironworks and because of it, facing the chance of being killed by the giant furnace (look at his face as he realizes his dire situation and says "If that fire is hot enough to melt iron, I'm as good as dead!", it says it all).

(Volume 7) BEING CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPLOSION OF THE GALACTIC BOMB!!!! This is one I REFUSE to believe didn't traumatize him. He's lucky to have SURVIVED THAT!!!

The slump he went into for a bit after failing to protect Azelf...heartbreaking...

His panicked state upon waking up and not knowing where he is or where his Pokémon are...(also, I headcanon that he was dreaming about the bomb which would explain his panic upon waking up).

His relief upon seeing his Pokémon are okay, and then immediately remembering how they got injured because of him and feeling so guilty, that panel looking into his window as he just sits there thinking about everything that just happened is heartbreaking, you can tell he's GOING THROUGH IT mentally with his face completely shadowed and the rain pouring down outside. Luckily Wake is able to help him snap out of it so this slump doesn't last long.

(Volume 8) 12 year old children meet giant legendary deities of time and space, and are overwhelmed at just MEETING THEM...their expressions in the panel on the bottom right of the page show that very well.

(Volume 9) Dia tries to pull a heroic sacrifice in order to stop Cyrus...look at Pearl's reaction when he sees what his best friend is trying to do...honestly this scene makes THE SCENE even more heartbreaking...(don't worry we'll get to THAT soon)

(Volume 10) Seeing the bedridden Gym Leaders, especially Wake, is upsetting to both Diamond and Pearl, but Pearl is clearly worried about his mentor and it hurts to see.

Then he gets a music player containing his very own theme song that Wake made for him, which gets him all emotional, but he keeps it in, as always. (Which isn't healthy especially considering all the stuff this 12 YEAR OLD has endured up to this point...but we're still not done yet of course.)

(Volume 11) Here we go, it's time for THE SCENE. The one event that I headcanon to have traumatized Pearl the most, even more than being caught in the explosion of a LITERAL BOMB...and that event is Dia saving Pearl from Giratina's Shadow Force attack, but ending up taking it himself...

...much to Pearl's shock and horror.

Pearl starts shaking as he desperately tries to get Dia to wake up, but his best friend just lays lifeless on the ground, eyes wide open but completely soulless.

Pearl's expression here is heartbreaking, it's like he's finally realizing what happened, he just lost his best friend.

And now he's ready for revenge, and so are Dia's Pokémon...as they should be.

Just imagine being a CHILD fighting to save the literal UNIVERSE, and then having to say that you saw your BEST FRIEND die, right in front of you...and then said best friend's BODY DISAPPEARING INTO THIN AIR!!! Yeah...there's no way he ain't traumatized from all of that.

(Of course, Dia didn't die, but Pearl really thought he did, and that's just so messed up to think about...)

So anyway, there's my post about why (in my opinion) Pearl is traumatized and needs some SERIOUS therapy. If I missed anything feel free to let me know!

(I'm finally finished with this post, so now that I'm done with it I can FINALLY go to bed, especially since I think I'm coming down with something. It's 1:05 AM right now, I've been at this for hours, and I'm struggling to keep my eyes open... Ah yes, autistic hyperfocus, both a blessing and a curse at the same time 😅.)

It's Christmas Eve, so I figured I better draw a Christmas picture! Here it is!

It's Santa Pikachu and his Pichu elves! This took me a couple hours to draw, but it was so much fun! I hope you all like it, and Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! I'm currently in the middle of my Christmas Eve celebrations myself, but I wanted to make sure to post this.

[pikatrainer99]

Orange's ask blog is temporarily closed due to threats of real life gore being sent to Tumblr ask/RP blogs for Christmas...and just to be safe I have closed my askbox here as well. Just wanted to give you all a heads up about why the askboxes have suddenly disappeared, and also warn you about this threat in case you wanna close your askboxes as well...Better safe than sorry.

I digitized my drawing of Phineas and Ferb!

I fixed the size of Phineas' eyes and the position of the stripes on his shirt. I also tried to fix the positioning of the squares on Ferb's clothes but it's still not evenly lined up, oops. I think this drawing looks much better in full color, I'm glad I digitized it.

Since I started rewatching the show, Phineas has become a comfort character of mine, I headcanon both him and Ferb as neurodivergent, and I hope the revival of the show keeps the characters the same as they were in the original. That's one of the main things I worry about when shows get revived or rebooted or whatever you wanna call it. I especially get worried about it when they're characters I relate to and headcanon as ND, and I KNOW I'm not the only one who headcanons a bunch of PnF characters as ND, I've SEEN the headcanon posts and have liked a few of them despite them all being from YEARS AGO NOW. But anyway, I'm getting off track again, so I'll end it here.

Hope you all like the drawing! I really should've waited to digitize it instead of posting the pencil sketch first, but it is what it is. 😅

[pikatrainer99]

Ok this is kinda a random thought I had and it's not really a question but I would like to hear your thoughts. So something I find very interesting is hybrid animals, two similar but different animals creating an offspring that Is a genetic fusion of both parents. That kind got me thinking of a potential feature l would like to see in future pokemon games. So we saw in Scarlet and Violet that they are starting to add small little side things again that make certain pokemon unique, like convergent pokemon. So... Hear me out. What if in gen 10 or another future game they make it possible to make hybrid pokemon by breeding! Yes I know with the way egg groups work it might not make sense but I mean maybe they can make an exception? I was thinking maybe you have two pokemon who are based on real life creatures that can make hybrids, like Rapidash and Zebstrika or Beartic and Ursaring, and give them some kind of item,breed them and then you get an egg that will hatch into a fusion of the two. Yeah just a crackpot idea I know but just wanted to ask you and hear what you think.

That's...actually pretty interesting! I think it would be kinda cool! I'm just imagining the Rapidash and Zebstrika hybrid right now...Fire and Electric would be such a fun type combo (it's two of my favorite types so of course I'd love it 😅)

[pikatrainer99]

Random pencil sketch I just did of my favorite Disney Channel characters of all time, Phineas and Ferb!

This was my first time drawing these two in YEARS and I've definitely improved since then...I was a kid when I last drew them so that's kinda a given (though looking at it now I think I accidentally made Phineas' eyes too small). I HAD to have Phineas saying "I know what we're gonna do today" because it's easily the most iconic quote of his and he says it every episode. I recently got back into the show after learning that they're bringing it back for 2 more seasons, and now the theme song is stuck in my head 😅. This was my favorite Disney Channel show as a kid, I even went as Perry the Platypus (specifically Agent P) for Halloween one year, that was a fun costume to make, and everyone was able to recognize it (it was during the show's peak popularity). Now that I've gotten back into the show I have neurodivergent headcanons for a bunch of the characters because OF COURSE I do, I always seem to find at least ONE character to headcanon as ND in EVERYTHING I watch.

Anyway, I hope you like this random pencil sketch of these two loveable kid geniuses! I know it isn't my usual stuff but I wanted to try my hand at drawing them again since I hadn't done it since I was a kid. I don't know if I'll digitize this one yet but if I do I'll fix the size of Phineas' eyes before I post it. And of course, if you wanna know about my ND headcanons for the characters, just let me know in the comments below!

I will defend Pearl until the day I die. He is my fictional son and the haters can stay the heck away from me and my child! With some of the things I’ve seen haters say about him sometimes it makes me feel like I’m the only one who actually sees the character development he went through…at least I know there are others here on Tumblr who also are Pearl fans and who see the character development. That makes me realize I’m not the only one, which makes me happy. He needs more love, from my personal experience in the PokéSpe fandom, he's always the least popular member of the Sinnoh Trio...while I love all three of them I'm just more attached to Pearl because he's a lot like me and he was the first one I saw the neurodivergent traits in, which was the kickstarter for my "Sinnoh Trio are all neurodivergent" headcanon.

If you are a Pearl fan you are automatically my friend, simple as that.

Been catching up on the latest few episodes of Pokémon Horizons since I'm not always able to watch each subbed episode as it comes out so I usually wait about a month, give or take a week or two, and then binge watch the (usually) four or five episodes I need to catch up. But during my binge watching session today, I watched episode 70 for the first time and there was a scene I HAD to screen record...here it is.

These Pichu are adorable and remind me of the Pichu Bros, but there's three of them this time! Cap doesn't seem to like the Pichu trying to play with him, but those three are so adorable I can't handle it! And then the consistency with Cap's allergy to being called "cute" is always great, and the fact that it was LIKO who said it this time created an ironically even MORE adorable reaction from Cap.

(LOOK AT CAP'S EXPRESSION HERE!!!)

Ever since episode 35, where Cap's allergy was first revealed, I have not referred to him as being cute in any of my posts anywhere, or any of my conversations with friends (yes I know he's not real and thus can't hear me but it makes for a fun game and I like to have as much fun as possible with everything I do)...but this moment broke that streak. I couldn't help it. I couldn't help it SO MUCH that I just felt the need to screen record the scene, take the screenshot, and post them both here to share with everyone!

[pikatrainer99]

Since it's cold season (end of November is basically the start of winter here where I live), I made a little Gacha Life 2 concept model of Orange all bundled up for the cold Sinnoh winter... he's not too keen on the cold though, as you can see by his pose and expression.

He's shivering, and his face is red, even though he's wearing a super thick winter coat with a soft long sleeve shirt underneath, soft earmuffs, warm winter gloves, super thick sweatpants, warm grippy snow boots, and a thicker, warmer scarf. He always feels the need to wear this outfit during the cold seasons, because they're way more intense in Sinnoh than they were back in Kanto. It takes him YEARS to finally get used to it...at least he knows just how to suit up for it!

Time for part 3 of The Sillies™️ in a group chat...this time it's Orange's birthday edition!

Arceus I love making these group chat posts XD

It's Orange's birthday today and his friends are busy prepping for his party! Diamond is making his favorite kind of cake, and making a card with Pearl. They're also teaming up to get him a present...it's a Pokémon battle simulator type video game that his Pokémon can actually participate in with him (think like an Xbox Kinect type of game but for Pokémon battling)! This way he can keep his Pokémon in perfect shape for battle and he can also use it to help train new Pokémon if they want to. Platinum gets him a set of TWELVE Master Balls because she KNOWS he'll use them for the greater good and, being part of the wealthiest family in Sinnoh, she used her family connections to the big businesses to get them for him...what a dedicated friend! Orange loves his presents and his cake and he has so much fun celebrating with his friends...when suddenly they're all called back to his house and to his surprise, Red and Yellow are there! Orange is so excited to see them again and when his big brother and big sister figures say that they're staying in Sinnoh for a while to spend time with him, Orange says that it's his best birthday ever!

I hope you all like this group chat post! I had so much fun making it XD

[pikatrainer99]

So, my OC Orange and I share a birthday (because I suck at coming up with character birthdays)…but I’m gonna make it all about him on here on Saturday! You guys can interact with him directly on his ask blog, I’ll do my best to have him respond quickly if you send him any asks or messages. I’ll also be posting another group chat between him and the Sinnoh Trio as well, so if you like those types of posts, look forward to that!

This post is almost completely in title mode in order to advertise Orange’s ask blog XD it hasn’t gotten anything yet except for ONE question and I’d like to make his birthday into a sort of event for the blog.

[pikatrainer99]

Group chat between the sillies™️ part 2! This time for Platinum's birthday!

(By this point Orange has learned to not type like he's speaking XD)

The boys are going to throw a party for Platinum and they want it to be the best party ever! Orange is hard at work making her a bracelet with beads and (fake) jewels as well as a photo collage of all their adventures. Diamond is hard at work making her a big cake, while keeping his hungry Pokémon away from it in the process. Pearl goes over to Orange's house to help Orange with the collage and the card, as it's from both of them. Platinum ends up absolutely loving her cake and gifts, and having a great time at her party, learning that it really is better to celebrate with friends.

After Platinum's party is over, it dawns on them that Orange's birthday is coming up in just a couple weeks. Diamond, Pearl and Platinum immediately begin thinking about things they could do for Orange's birthday...what will they do??? Wait and see when I come back on Orange's birthday with another group chat post!

(Orange's birthday is the same as mine btw, November 9th! When creating him I realized I'm not good at coming up with birthdays for characters so I just figured it would be easier to give him the same birthday as me, so I did 😅)

[pikatrainer99]

If you were a Gym leader, what type would you specialize in? What would your team be, and (odd detail to ask) what would your Gym Badge be called?

Deciding a favorite Pokémon type is difficult for me...but if I were a Gym Leader I'd probably specialize in Fire-Types. My team...probably Arcanine, Infernape, Armarouge, Ceruledge, Heat Rotom, and Scovillain, with Infernape being the ace since it's my all-time favorite Pokémon. One pure Fire-Type and all the others dual-types that have a different second type to keep challengers on their toes. As for the Gym Badge...the Blaze Badge I guess would work, I don't THINK there's a badge called that yet plus Infernape is probably THE MOST well-known Pokémon for having Blaze thanks to the anime putting a HUGE emphasis on that.

This is all me just coming up with stuff on the spot and might not make the most sense but oh well XD

Thanks for the ask!
