Two terrors

Commission for @saburo-kyoto, done as compensation for a donation to @driftingmoonmenace's ko-fi.

Pokemon centric, featuring my OC Ayala and a Darkrai dubbed "Nightmare", who has a severe phobia of water due to trauma.

Anyone looking to get a short but simple commission such as this, I encourage to donate to menace directly (their kitty is in a bad way). Simply contact me to confirm your donation and donation amount and I'll whip you up a little something like this.

Storm clouds. Black and dreary. They hover overhead, bringing with them the promise of a coming storm.

Soon, there would be lightning.

Soon, there would be thunder.

...

Soon, very very soon, there would be rain.

Dreaded, unpleasant rain. Cold and unfeeling.

Most of the others were being smart. One by one, they took notice of the coming storm and slowly began meandering their way towards shelter.

The biggest and the strongest took the initiative to coax those who were smaller and weaker inside alongside them. From the Phantom Stantler who carefully nudged his smaller herdmates along, to the rowdy ghosts who took on a less gentle approach. Any who was in a position of power and authority among the group went out of their way to assure that those around them knew that it was time to go inside of the day.

Everyone, except for him. The one who, arguably, held the greatest level of power and authority among all of the other Pokemon who reside here.

He hated the rain. He absolutely despised it.

He detested the sensation of being damp. Getting wet, soaking or otherwise, brought him nothing but anguish.

It brought him back to the time before this place. A time which he dreaded, and often refused to allow himself to think of. A time long past, when he was weak and helpless. When he had been little more than an exotic slave to be shown off, and abused whenever he refused to appeal to the unpleasant nature of his master.

He had been made into a Dark type that feared the Water, through cruel and unusual punishment. And though he had long since escaped that hell, he still found himself bound by the memories of his torment.

Honestly it was less that he hated the rain, and more that he... Well. He feared it.

The sensation of dampness on his skin made him sick to his stomach with worry. Getting water on his face sent him into a needless state of terror that he had come to be ashamed of.

The sound of it. The smell of it. The feel of it.

Every aspect of the rain made him uneasy. It forced him back into that mindset of the time long past, when he had been just another terrified animal locked in a cage.

What’s worse. The shame he felt over his own setbacks left him with an unwanted sense of bitterness.

When he gazed upon the other Pokemon, cautious but otherwise unbothered by the threat of the approaching storm, he found himself envious.

He envied the young, who had not yet learned the unpleasant consequences of a storm. The ones who saw the clouds rolling in only to find themselves excited by the idea of splashing around in muddy puddles, or catching raindrops on their tongues. The ones who had not yet learned the hard way that a storm could bring with it terrifying destruction, or uncomfortable sickness. The ones who despite being aware of the coming storm, were completely unprepared for what might happen if they decided to face it head on.

He envied the old, who had weathered so many storms that they had attained an almost arrogant confidence, despite the menacing nature of the clouds. The ones who had seen and endured what they believed to be the worst that nature had to throw their way. The ones who had learned enough that they needed to only take a quick glance at the sky to determine how hostile an encroaching storm might be, and could therefor prepare for it in turn.

He even envied those in their prime. The ones who, while inexperienced in their own right, had come to understand that these storms could be dangerous. The ones who had seen an incident or two in their lives so far, but still had a lot to learn about the potential horrors that nature could throw their way.

He envied them, because their fears, or lack thereof, were justifiable.

Those who feared the rain did not fear the water itself. They feared the potential destructive power of the storm; from the might of the wind to the overwhelming power of excessive rain, all the way on to the devastating potential of a lightning strike.

Those who had not yet learned to fear a storm were merely oblivious to the potential destruction. And so they embraced the approach of the storm itself, under the false impression that it is just another harmless weather event.

None of them had a fear of the water itself. Not like he did.

The water was the only part of the storm that he genuinely feared, unlike them.

He cared not for the wind, nor for how powerful that it might blow. The lightning might strike. The thunder might bellow and roar throughout the sky in hopes of intimidating him.

No.

The only part of the storm that put him ill at ease, was the rain itself. The cold, damp rain.

The rain that flooded.

The rain that drowned.

The rain that tormented and mocked him for his weakness...

He watched from the comfort of the indoors as the other Pokemon made their way into their various barns.

One by one, they all disappeared from his view. Until the farmland was empty and the only movement outside was from the wind rustling the surrounding greenery.

Yet even when he saw no signs of anyone else, he remained tense and uneasy. Because he was afraid. Not so much of the rain, at the moment. Nor was he even all that concerned about the other Pokemon who had tucked themselves away in their respective barns.

His concerns lied with the location of his trainer. He had seen no signs of her since the storm began to roll in. And so he worried that perhaps some sort of accident might have befallen here while he remained hidden away indoors, like the coward that he was...

As his anxieties grew, all that he could do was continue to wait and watch.

The storm clouds blew closer. The wind grew louder, and more demanding of respect. That first roar of thunder came across as little more than a tired grumble, but it still proved loud enough to make the foundation of the home tremble slightly in response.

He observed it all, but still, the woman showed no signs of returning.

Not when the first strike of lightning lit up the dark and gloomy sky, and not when those first few drops of water began to make their way down to the ground.

His anxieties grew further as he began to hear the quiet pitter-pat of raindrops splattering along his home. He heard every clatter of water against the windows and every plunk of the raindrops against the wooden exterior of the home.

First slow and drawn out like the static of a dead television. Then constant and unrelenting, like the continuous rumble of a waterfall.

What began as a light trickle quickly became a full on downpour. The sort that was so intense that the constant weight of the falling water proved to be enough to push down the once high reaching branches of the trees outside.

This was an intense storm.

Not a dangerous one. At least not on its own. But the heavy rain could lead to all manner of hazards. Like mudslides from the oversaturated ground peeling away and moving all at once. Or trees being uprooted from the softened earth and toppling over thanks to the force of the wind.

A lone Pokemon caught out in a storm such as this would have a rough time finding their way to safe and reliable shelter.

A human, which was far less capable in comparison, was much more likely to get hurt along the way...

Oh, how he worried. Not knowing where his trainer was during this intense storm only added to the anxiety of having to sit through it. Knowing that he might be the only one capable of finding her and getting her home safe further added to his overall agitation.

He wanted her home, where he could see her. He wanted the reassurance of knowing that she was safe and sound beside him.

An anxious groan rumbled in his chest as he began to pace around the interior of his home.

He checked each window for signs of her. If she was just nearby, but playing out in the rain like a fool, then he could endure that. At least then he would know where she was. But despite checking each window multiple times, he never once caught sight of her.

As a result, he only became more worried.

What if she was lost? What if she had gotten hurt?

What if she was trapped out there somewhere, desperate for help but unable to be heard due to the roaring of the rain?...

He didn’t know. And not knowing only made it worse. Because if he was good at anything, it was creating terrifying mental scenarios.

He was the Nightmare Pokemon, after all. He had been named after that particular trait for a reason.

It became a painful and uncomfortable dilemma for him. Sit inside and wait and allow his mind to think up countless ways to terrify him, or go outside into the rain to confront one of his greatest fears.

But which fear would prevail? His fear of the water, or his fear for her safety?

Was he really so much of a coward that he would rather risk her life than go out into the rain to assure that she was alright?

His anxious pacing inevitably transforms into panicked patrol has he struggles to fight with his fears.

Back and forth.

Back and forth.

He never spots her in the window. He doesn’t know where she is.

The rain is so loud. The outside is so wet.

What if she needs him, and he isn’t there?

Is she hurt? Is she lost?

She needs him.

She needs him!

He needs her! He needs to know that she is safe!

He practically rips the front door off of its hinges as he prepares to throw himself outside in a blind panic. But to his immediate relief, he finds her right outside; soaking wet and startled by how abruptly he appeared in the doorway.

Her presence alone is like a sigh of relief.

She’s here.

She’s alright.

He reacts on impulse and reaches out to drag her into his arms.

The feel of the water made his skin crawl. But he could feel how cold her body was from being stuck outside in the wind and rain. She damn near felt like ice.

He couldn’t help but cling to her. He had gotten himself so worked up contemplating the various “what ifs” while trapped inside all on his own. It would take time for him to settle back down. Especially now that he had water all over him, which just further agitated him.

“Nightmare?...” Her voice quietly called to him. Though it was gentle and confused, it was laced with obvious concern.

In response, he merely wrapped his arms around her tighter. All the while he ignored how the water ripped out of her clothing and onto his body. Or at least he tried, for the sake of just focusing on how relieved he was now that she was back home.

Relief and discomfort mixed together in a sickening way as he held her. He did not want to let her go, but at the same time, the sensation of the water against his skin made it feel as though he were holding hot iron.

It was painful. Uncomfortable. Distressing.

But nowhere near as distressing as the idea of losing her. And so he refused to let go, even if it hurt to hold onto her.

He breaths a shaken sigh of relief as he feels her arms wrap around him in turn.

Yes. She is here. She is with him. She is safe.

“Its alright.” She murmured. “I’m here.”

Hydrophobia (Drabble)

Just some pointless stuff of Ayala trying to help Nightmare get past his fear of water.

 The Nightmare God shifted anxiously as they peered into the pristine fluid which had filled the interior of the tub. Steam rose from the surface of the carefully heated water, adding a humidity to the air which almost made it suffocating. The Pokemon growled under their breath as they took an agitated step backwards, only to groan softly as they felt the hand of their trainer press against the middle of their back. Snapping their head to the side, the Darkrai offered a look of concern as their trainer smiled at them.

 “Its just water, hun. Won’t hurt you none.” The woman stated. The gingerly ran her hand along the center of the Pokemon’s back, attempting to comfort them as they prepared for what was to come next. The Darkrai groaned again to voice their unease, but remained in place even as their trainer pulled the towel off of her shoulders. The woman went on to set the towel upon the edge of the sink, before she wrapped her hands around the Darkrai’s wrist. The Pokemon offered yet another sound of concern as their trainer began to pull them in the direction of the tub. Water was not something that the Darkrai was particularly fond of. Bad experiences with a previous trainer had left a sour taste in their mouth where baths were concerned. Aside from a little rain, the Darkrai hated being anywhere near water. Arceus forbid anyone make the mistake of splashing him; that was the quickest way to trigger a plague of nightmares.

 The being shook their head ever so slightly as the woman continued to try and coax them towards the tub. Regardless of how much he had come to trust this new trainer, fear was a horrid thing. If she pushed to hard she may very well wind up getting hurt; and given that she was the only human living out here, such could leave her in a bad state. The woman offered a soft laugh at this as she released his arm. She stepped around them so that she could come to stand in front of them. The Pokemon remained rooted in place as the woman reached to affectionately cup their face with her hands. The Darkrai closed their eyes for a moment and leaned into the contact ever so slightly. This little female had not been his trainer for long, but she had overcome a multitude of barriers when it came to dealing with them. They allowed her to touch them, which was more than could be said around anyone else.

 Her behavior often left the Pokemon unsure, because she was such an odd little woman. Even so, the fact remained; they trusted her. They wanted to be able put faith in her at times like this, but it was difficult. Water was absolutely terrifying to them; it would take more than a little bit of trust to help them keep calm when under threat of submerging their body within it. They opened their eyes as the woman began to gingerly rub their cheeks with her thumbs.

 “Alright, hun. Simple trust exercise.” The woman whispered, keeping her hands on the Pokemon’s face as she spoke to them. The Darkrai offered a noise of confusion as they peered down at their trainer. What was she up to now?  “Focus on me, Nightmare. Keep your eyes on mine and don’t look away, alright?” She commanded, using the Pokemon’s nickname as she addressed them. The Darkrai offered a soft noise of confusion at this, but was willing to obey. They listened to her of their own will, because she had done well to earn their trust thus far. A faint chill rushed through them as the woman took a small step backwards. Nightmare knew that she was once again trying to lead them towards the tub. Instinctively the Pokemon faltered, only to tentatively step forward as they heard their trainer gently shush them. They kept their eyes locked upon those of their trainer, but trembled ever so slightly as they continued to allow her to lead them towards the tub. Those few steps were absolutely nerve wracking. The fear of what was to come being something which nearly convinced them to fade into the shadows and flee the scene.

 Even the ominous power of her touch could do little to drown out the terror that had flooded his system. Being able to feel her calmness only seemed to make them more aware of their fear. The ability to feel her desire to help him did little more than remind him of how damaged the previous trainer had left him. Seeking comfort, the Darkrai raised their hands to wrap their fingers around the woman’s wrists. Trembling at this point, it was a genuine struggle to keep from fleeing the bathroom out of fear. The woman came to a stop as the backs of her legs came into contact with the edge of the tub. A soft shush was emitted from her lips as she gingerly pulled the Darkrai’s face so that he would lean down. Nightmare took to hiding his face in the woman’s shoulder as soon as she broke eye contact with him. They felt the woman wrap her arms around their back to gently rub his shoulders.

 “You’re doing great, Nightmare.” The woman murmured, her voice oddly soft as she spoke to the Pokemon. She kept her arms around him as she began to move again. The Darkrai tensed drastically as they felt the woman carefully left her leg so that she could step backwards and into the tub. Nightmare flinched at the sound of her foot sinking into the water, and nearly recoiled. Had it not been for her grip, the Pokemon would have immediately fled the scene. She shushed them again, and moved a hand upwards to carefully run her fingers through the white wisp that resided upon their head.  “Just a little more, hun. Two more steps. Then we can stop.” She urged the Pokemon to continue. At this point, she was less intent on getting them to take a bath, and more intent on merely getting them to step into the water. The Darkrai seemed to whimper as they complied, taking that first bold movement so that they could timidly set their foot in the body of water that the woman had come to stand in. She stepped back for the last time, bringing her other leg into the water; and the Pokemon mimicked her action reluctantly. Nightmare listened as the woman hummed quietly into their ear, and only continued to cling to her as she began to rub their back again.  “Good job, hun. Good job~” The woman whispered, before she carefully pulled her hands off of the Pokemon’s back so that she could coax them into standing fully. She smiled up at the Darkrai as they peered down at her with a timid expression. They were standing in the water, but it was clear that they were terrified. Like a small dog that had never been given a bath before, they peered into her eyes as if insisting on being given an explanation behind the torment that they were being subjected to. She gingerly took the Pokemon’s hands to offer a reassuring squeeze, before letting them go again.  “You can get out of the tub now, if you want to. Baby steps.” She hummed, before making a move to sit down. Even if the Pokemon was not ready to take a bath, she needed one after spending the day working out on the ranch. She had expected the Darkrai to immediately retract their limbs and leave the bathroom. She knew that they hated the water, but this was all an attempt at getting them to relax where baths were concerned. As it were, she needed to be able to clean Nightmare if they ever wound up getting to dirty. Hygiene was important, after all. Imagine her surprise when the Darkrai tentatively reached to grip her shoulders as she began to sit down. The froze for a split second, only to lose her balance. Had the Pokemon not been holding onto her, she would have slipped and fallen clean onto her backside as her body sank into the water. The confusion was evident on her face as Nightmare tentatively followed her into the water.

 The Pokemon bent their knees and shakily lowered their body into the water, keeping their hands wrapped around the woman’s shoulders as they did so. The Darkrai only continued to tremble as they sat in the water. This was a horrifying experience and honestly, they had little idea as to why they had not left the moment that their trainer had given them the okay to do so. Were they really that desperate to please her? Were they subjecting themselves to this torment simply because they knew that their trainer did not want them to be afraid of the water? The woman cooed softly as she reached to pull the Pokemon closer to her.

 “Come here, Nightmare.” The woman requested, pulling the Darkrai closer to her so that they could come to sit at her side. Thankfully this was a rather large bathtub. One big enough for a cow to comfortably lie in if the woman ever found herself adventurous enough to bring such an animal upstairs and into her bathroom. She wrapped her arms around the Pokemon to comfort them, and allowed them to cling to her as they sat in the water. She offered no words as she held them, finding that she was merely content to allow them to cling to her whilst they sat in the tub. If this was what it took to help the Nightmare God get over their fear of water, then she would be content to do this every night until they were better.

Weekly Upload 05/28/22

Back at the height of my blogging dedication, I would have taken some time to write up thoughts about the latest highly visible school shooting. Now I’m just tired. I’ve cried about it, fretted over the safety of my own students, been breathtakingly angry about the deliberate apathy of politicians who won’t do anything besides make excuses for lax gun control laws and try to blame mental illness…

Current X-book Mood-Ring Guide

There are an awful lot of X-books on the shelves right now. They are most of my monthly haul. No joke it is at least 12 books at this point. So, in order to cope with that, I’ve organized all the books into one of four different categories, aka “booster-pack” themes. Click through if you want to jump aboard the best X-men run since Morrison before the boat pushes off for the Hellfire Gala this summer! These are the 4 categories:

-Mainline Blue/Gold-style 

-Jr. Mutants Academy 

-2nd-Wave Krakoa Niche (aka “the good stuff”)

-Cetera

#1. Mainline Blue/Gold-style

Mood-color/vibe: Actually 90s-style Blue/Gold and like bright primary colors (but also muddy-ass colors from X-factor). 

Books included: X-men, Excalibur, Marauders, X-force

Typical Pokemon: Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Betsy Braddock, Kate Pride, Beast, Black Tom, Storm, Bishop, Emma Frost, Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee, Kid Omega, Domino, a Pyro, Iceman, Avalanche. Rare drops: Apocalypse, X-23, Synch, Darwin, Kid Cable, Fantomex (in that Giant-Sized!)

These be the books for someone who wants those direct, mainline, core-members-style lineups. On the main book (adjective/word-play-less X-men) Hickman/Yu have worked wonders with their run, but it hasn’t been a stable team, instead focusing on Scott and his adventures dealing with some of the more prominent threats to Krakoa. 

So it’s essentially been a revolving door of a book with Cyclops sometimes leading assaults against major problems and sometimes just being a dad to teenagers from the future, and it’s been generally great. 

Meanwhile, the teams we find on the other 3 books could basically be a main X-men team if you just throw Jean/Scott/Logan onto them (except for X-force because Logan is usually on that one, actually, and Jean sort of is..)

X-force: Wolverine usually, Kid Omega, Beast, Jean (quitting?/back-up), Domino sorta, Sage, Black Tom Cassidy, Colossus once? Forge sorta. [Lot’s of backup or sometimes-members on this team but kinda centers on Beast, Omega, Wolverine and Jean or Domino]

Excalibur: Betsy Braddock, Rogue, Jubilee, Gambit, Avalanche, baby/dragon Shogo, Apocalypse (honorary, mia)

Marauders: Kate Pride, Storm, Emma Frost, a Pyro, Iceman, Bishop

On X-force, you get a little Morrison-homage energy going on what with Beast being sus, Quentin Quire having a character arc and dating a cuckoo and then all the body-horror. This one hasn’t been amazing and the art sometimes has issues for me but it’s been a solid expansion on Krakoa-Era lore. 

On Marauders, you get a book centered on Kate Pride and the Hellfire Club. It’s been aight but I’m not the biggest Kate fan. Definitely has heart and the art has been beautiful. 

Excalibur started a little weird for me... I lack the references or attachment to Otherworld or Davis/Moore-era Excalibur so I don’t think I’m even really the target demo, but I will say it recently, post-X of Swords-- which it set up single-handedly basically [along w/ one ish of X-men]-- has gotten more interesting in recent months. The Betsy + Kwannon stuff was great! And Howard did great with Apocalypse before he went off to another dimension. (points off for iffy color-palettes sometimes). 

#2. Jr. Mutants Academy

Mood-color/vibe: Pastel

Books: New Mutants, X-factor, Children of the Atom, Cable

Common Pokemon: Magik, Cable, Rachel Summers, Doug, Warlock, Armor, Boom Boom, Scout, Dani, Warpath, Karma, Glob, Beak, Daken, Eye-boy, North Star, Rachael, Prodigy those Children of the Atom kids, Magma, Rahne, and a lot of lil kid mutants runnin’ around in Akademos/the Wild Hunt area of Krakoa whose names I don’t know yet.

This is the junior-crew club. New Mutants would be in the Blue/Gold books practically due to being part of the first wave of post-HoX/DoX books, but its basically been 3 different books/teams over its run and along w/ Children/Cable/X-Factor, it feels like there a whole handful of books offering up junior-crew shenanigans specifically. 

So New Mutants has been all over the place, starting with a lineup of OG Claremont era New Muties, then focusing on a team consisting of Glob, Armor and Boom Boom (perpetual...”young adult” I guess?), now settling on a new team under Vita Ayala with Magik and Warpath heading up a squad of young ‘uns (beautiful art on the recent stretch). Hopefully it’s settling into its self now, because I can see longevity for this new squad... maybe. 

I still have to read the 2nd issue of Children of the Atom,  but am intrigued by it. X-factor meanwhile seems to be focusing on queer representation with people like Prodigy, Daken, North Star and Rachel on the same group together. Polaris started out the lead of that title only to be plucked out by Duggan (or the fanbase) for the main X-team coming up. This honestly makes sense, because even though she isn’t drawn this way, shouldn’t Polaris be considerably older than someone like Rachel? Eh. 

Also, in issue #4 of X-factor we had a beautiful homage to the Academy X mutants, with several cameos, so it seems like Marvel is intentionally using these junior-crew books to acknowledge all the various junior-crews, whether it be OG Claremont kids, Generation X people, the kids intro’d under Morrison and Whedon, or even the dang ‘ol Academy X ones, they seem to all be getting at least some representation in some book. 

Also Cable owns. Didn’t know I’d like the Kid-Cable guy until this book and his appearances in the main title, but now it’s confirmed. Him dating Esme, Kid Omega dating Phoebe? These crazy telepaths! Anyway, I hope Duggan’s main-team book is more like Cable than Marauders, in terms of pacing and characterization, but they both have beautiful art!

New mutants: Karma, Magik, Mirage, Scout, Warlock, Warpath and Wolfsbane

X-factor: Daken, Eye-boy, Polaris (quit?), North Star, Rachael, Prodigy

#3. 2nd-gen Krakoa Niche aka “the good stuff”

mood-color/vibe: purples, metaphysical/cosmic pallets, tertiary colors

books included: Hellions, S.W.O.R.D., Way of X

common Pokemon: I mean they’re basically all rare drops

This is the good stuff! Who would have thought. And when I think about it,  Way of X and S.W.O.R.D., as part of the second wave of Krakoa-era books that started with Cable, both address some of the core issues and ideas that the whole HoX/DoX mini kicked off better than-- or at least more directly-- the other books. So I guess the non X-men, first-wave Krakoa books feel “mainline” in terms of their team lineups, but in terms of content, these newer ones almost feel more relevant by design. S.W.O.R.D. focuses on the cosmic context of the mutants post-Krakoa and Way is Kurt’s first spot-light moment in the era and is expressly concerned with Kurt’s addressing of the deeper moral quandaries that a people who have conquered death will be faced with. I mean, it's expressly about religion and like, spirituality-- a very tall order, but first issue pulled it off super deftly.

Also Hellions is better than it has any business being! Read this if you want savagely dark humor and some very obscure mutants + Havok/Psylocke/Sinister. But if I had to reccomend one, it’d be a tie b/w S.W.O.R.D and Way. First issue of Way was exceptional and got right into things and Kurt’s very well-written and will surely prove a meditative lead for a book like this, whereas S.W.O.R.D is epic in scale while still have sick character moments/dialogue. Manifold had a great issue or two and is now my favorite new mutant, even in the context of a somehow-actually-good King in Black tie-in. Damn! And everything going on b/w Magneto and Fabian Cortez (who was made to argue for why mutants should be allowed to murder “flatscans”/humans to the whole Krakoan council this week whilst naked. It’s fantastic. Hell, even the Snark-War sounds...interesting? What’s happening to me. 

S.W.O.R.D.: Fabian Cortez, Magneto, Abigail Brand, Peeper, Manifold, Wiz-Kid, Mentallo, Fenzy

Children of the Atom: Cherub, Marvel Guy, Cyclops-Lass (?), Gimmick, Daycrawler

Hellions: Havok, Psylocke, Empath, Orphan-Maker, Nanny, Wild Child, Sinister, Greycrow

#4. Cetera

Mood-color/vibe: colorless, “normal” element

Books included: Fallen Angels (complete 6-ish mini), All the damn Wolverine books, the uh Sword of X “guidebook” and the new Peach Momoko Demon Days books and whatever X-men Legends is.

These are titles which are either complete or don’t fit in with other things or in Demon Days or the X-men Legends’ books’ case, I think don’t even occur in-universe. And per usual of course there are multiple Wolverine books... the main one seems fine. 

Anyway all-in-all, these books are doing weirdly well. Mutants as a concept shouldn't be able to be spread this thin story-telling wise, but the books don’t really feel redundant and most are filling a specific niche or purpose. I may be dropping some of the first-wave Blue/Gold style books (Marauders and X-force I'll probably just check in on from time-to-time), but S.W.O.R.D., Way, the main book under Hickman or Duggan and Hellions all have me verrrrrry satisfied. Even standard stories in the Krakoa era feel special, and that speaks to the power of Hickman’s vision. Hellfire Gala, here we come.

Nightmare of the Nightmare

A charity commission for @saburo-kyoto featuring Pokemon Breeder Ayala with her traded Mythical Pokemon, Nightmare the Darkrai. The commission depicts Nightmare struggling to cope with the memories of a past trauma, and going to his trainer for comfort.

For him, rain was such a horrible thing. The sound of water drizzling from the sky sent wave upon wave of unpleasant terror rolling through him. The sound permeated his dreams, awakening memories that he would otherwise have been able to repress or ignore. The shadows, which would otherwise be his means of protection, warped and twisted in response to the presence of the rain. He became smothered by his own darkness. Confined and restrained by the memories which haunted his dreams. Not like chains, but like thick ropes. Thick ropes which restrained his limbs as heavy cloth was draped over his face. Cloth which he could not hope to pry off of his head as water was poured over his face. The sound of the rain became as suffocating as the waterlogged cloth in his dreams.

It mattered not how hard he struggled. It mattered not how hard he strained his lungs to try and breathe. His every breath felt like drowning. His every movement was a struggle to escape from a pool of water that never even existed. The rain replicated the sound of water drizzling from the cloth to splatter on the cold, unforgiving ground beneath. There was no escaping the absolute hell that was inflicted upon him. Not in his dreams. Not in his memories. The rain was a plague upon his psyche, driving him deeper into the darkness. Deeper into the shadows. Further tangling him up as he fed on his own terror like an Ekans swallowing its own tail. He couldn’t scream. He had no saviour to turn to in his time of need. His salvation came not in the form of physical freedom, but in the form of light and sound.

Lighting lit up the sky, illuminating the area about his sleeping space with bright and unashamed light. The deep, angry rumbling of thunder followed suit. These two things, when mixed together, proved to be a force powerful enough to rouse the Mythical Pokemon from his deep and unforgiving slumber. He was awoken violently, startled not by the lightnight or the thunder, but by the terror of his own dreams. In the instant that his eyes opened, the imaginary restraints of his memories disappeared; but he awoke fighting against them all the same. His arms flailed. He fought against the shadows that he had unwittingly wrapped about himself. In less than an instant, he forced himself from his hiding place within the darkness. His body was thrust from the restraints of the shadows and he fell from his resting place in the ceiling.

In his terrified state, he could not even be bothered to prevent himself from falling. Thankfully the only object waiting beneath him was the empty bed of his trainer. He landed on nothing and no one that could be damaged by his sudden fall. The bed creaked unhappily under his sudden weight, but thankfully it held firm. The mattress and pillows cushioned his fall, preventing him from being hurt. Though discovering the bed empty provided him with little comfort. He felt relief that he had not unintentionally harmed the woman that had provided him such comfort since his arrival here - yet at the same time, her lack of presence only added to his distress. The rain offered no signs of dying down any time soon. Alone in the darkness surrounded only by the sound that terrorized him, he could only fight his growing panic as he went in search of comfort.

In his frazzled state, he could not even trust his body to levitate from the ground. He swayed unseadily, waves of terror induced nausea rolling over him with each passing moment. Despite being equally unsteady on his legs, he trusted his ability to walk more. The ground provided some means of foundation for his support. Instinctively he went towards the door leading out of the bedroom. There, he found light waiting for him. The dim, promising light of his trainer being awake and working in the kitchen. There were baby Pokemon to be tended to. Shaky legs carried him down the steps of the stairs. Equally shaky hands clutched the wooden railing on either side of his body, preventing him from falling over. Preventing him from submitting to his own urge to curl up and cover his head in hopes of getting the sounds to stop.

Lightning and thunder became his saving grace. The sudden light and sound jarred his senses, drowning out the rumble of the rain for brief moments. He could move faster and with more confidence during these brief moments of relief. This allowed him to reach his destination faster than he would have otherwise. This prevented him from succumbing to his own terror and curling into himself. His trembling remained as he managed to carry himself around the corner. Relief rushed to take him as his eyes settled upon the image of his trainer putting away the food that had been used to feed the baby Pokemon. This was fortunate timing. His problems would not interfere with the care of those in need of more serious care than himself. Even so, he could hardly keep himself from falling.

It was so hard to keep himself upright. So hard to keep himself from giving in to his instincts. When she turned at last and spotted him, trembling, he broke. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders before his knees could even touch the ground. He wrapped his arms around her in turn, digging his claws into her clothing as he clung to her for all that he was worth. His real salvation. His only true source of comfort in these times of utter hell. She was warm and she was understanding of his plight. The rain still terrorized him when he could hear it. But the sound of her heart beating drowned it out. The sound of her humming random songs into his ear gave him something better to focus on. He was not going to be punished for showing these signs of weakness. She respected him and cared for him just as she cared for and respected all of her other pokemon.

He was nurtured and protected when his weakness overtook him. Not mocked and further terrorized. Ultimately, he lost track of how much time passed as he clung to her, head buried in the arch of her neck and hands gripping her so desperately that he put holes in the back of her shirt. His knees ached. As the pitter patter of the rain against the roof gradually dissipated and his nerves began to calm, he steadily grew more aware of his own exhaustion. Not to mention the obvious exhaustion of his trainer, who had remained steady in her attempts to comfort him throughout the night. In the end, hours had passed. He knew not what time he had been violently awoken from his sleep, but by the time that the rain stopped, the first signs of daybreak could be seen shining through the window.

He was tired. His trainer was no doubt equally tired. There were a few hours left before the daily chores needed to be started. A nap could at least stave off some of their exhaustion. Having been able to properly calm down, he was no longer trembling. No longer unsteady or overwhelmed with a sick feeling in his stomach. Even so, he remained reluctant to let go of her - if only slightly. His grip loosened slightly as he shifted to push himself to his feet. She followed suit, relaxing her grip on him as she attempted to stand. The key word being attempt. Her exhaustion proved stronger than his. He felt her body sway ever so slightly as she struggled to stay awake. After having been so diligently watched over in his time of need, it was his turn to do the favor.

The Darkrai took control from there, lifting the exhausted woman from the ground to carry her back to bed. It came as no surprise to him that she began to drift off the instant that it was clear that he would be alright. Even so, her presence alone provided him with comfort. The powers of an empath were unique. He carried her from the kitchen, up the stairs, and to her bed. He found the blankets and the pillows as a mess from his fall. From his panic as he thrashed upon the mattress for a moment before he had set out to find her. She was easy to hold while he prepared the bed for her. He fixed the blankets and the pillows before setting her down to rest. He tucked her in, but he did not leave her side. He did not return to the shadows to sleep. There was space beside her on the bed. Space he reluctantly shared with other Pokemon whenever they arrived to also sleep beside her.

He was safe. He was content. Able to comfortably rest in the presence of his trainer now that the rain had gone. Relaxed with the knowledge that even if the rain returned, he would not be forced to suffer alone. She would still be here. She would still comfort and tend to him - and no matter what, he would remain by her side to return the favor, should she ever need him in turn.

My Summer Vacation

       I had a work on my summer vacation, I didn’t had a chance to went on an outing on the beach. I worked in different cinemas depends on what cinema I would be assigned given or advised by the office in the Manila. I worked as a Cinema Production Checker in Cebu Area only.

      On the 24th day of April the Avengers: End Game was released in Philippine Cinemas, I was assigned at Robinsons Galleria Cebu. My first day duty of the movie was to wake up early because of the first screening of the movie. I must be there before 7:00 o’clock in the morning. I was so stressed that day, the cinema was so crowded. I saw different kind of customers. I spent 17 hours of working because the last main feature of Cinema 6 was at 11:00p.m and waited 20-30 minutes for the print-out of the sales. I was assigned for two weeks there and waited for the office’s advise for the next week’s duty. On the second week of May another blockbuster movie was released, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. I was assigned at Ayala Cebu. The fourth week of May the Aladdin was released, I was assigned at Citymall Consolacion. I worked until the summer vacation ends.

      That’s how I spent my summer vacation eventhough we didn’t able to go on a beach. I am still happy with my vacation because I was able to see the movies for free. And I have a lot of experiences on the field.

Legends Ascending Summary

Since this game is a direct sequel to the first, and because the recaps on the blog can be a little choked up with the killing game stuff, here I’m going to post a recap on only the main plot stuff that happened in that game up until the epilogue? Alright? Ready, go.

In the beginning, there were the gods, who created and controlled all things. Mew created the mortals who lived in the world below. The gods wished to communicate with them, and for that they created a special kind of Pokemon, the Unown. They served as messengers for many millennia.

People grew wary of the Unown due to their strange nature and wished to speak with the gods directly. The gods agreed and had no need for the Unown, who detached themselves from society and lived in ruins, becoming bitter and angry at everyone.

Fast forward awhile towards modern day and people are starting to get upset at the gods. Disasters and death and suffering is seen as something they are choosing not to fix. The gods realize that they are ancient and cannot understand mortals anymore, so they decide to create a new set of gods, choosing young mortals to serve as Heirs, who would be trained by them to gain their powers and status and make the world better.

This was an insult to the Unown. This should have been them succeeding the gods, but only one of them was chosen, to a god of Chaos no less. They planned to destroy the gods and the world for casting them aside and forgetting them. To do this they used Nona Ria, the Unown who had been chosen, as well as Takehiko Saito, an Absol they had adopted as one of their own. These two contacted Ayaka Sato, Heir to Arceus, who was unsatisfied with the program.

Eventually agreeing to their plans after Arceus smote her abusive parents behind her back, the three Heirs contacted the Unown who gave them the plan. They captured the Lake Trio of gods and used their essences to create The Red Chain, an artifact which could control any being. Arceus was tricked and ensnared by The Red Chain by their heir, who forced them to used their incredible power to unmake the other gods just as they made them. This also killed every heir except for her and Takehiko, who she protected, the 16 that Mew was able to protect, and her brother. Akira Saito refused to join her in destruction and so she stole his soul, twisted it, and bound it inside a Teddiursa plush called Monoursa.

After making further preparations and erasing everyone’s memories of the park and the program, Ayaka began the Legendary Game of Mutual Killing, in order to weaken the Sky Prism which kept the Unown from all being gathered together and becoming powerful. She used Monoursa as her mascot so she could act like the other players. After several deaths and her own reveal, the Prism was broken and the Unown were summoned.

The Sky Prism turned out to also be a massive flower called the Grand Gracidea, which stored the powers of the gods in case of such catastrophes. It gave the powers back to the surviving Heirs when Shaymin’s heir was able to make it bloom.

A final battle occurred. The Heirs were able to defeat the Unown and cause whoever was left to retreat. Ayala rejected the Unown at the last moment and joined her friends in trying to help the world. To try and restore order, the spirits of all he dead Heirs were reincarnated. They were spread out all across the world and now the Heirs scour the globe trying to find them and restore their memories and powers, and restore the world in turn.

You find yourself in this post-apocalyptic world. Gijinkas cluster around temples and monuments filled with enough godly power to keep a small patch of land safe. Outside these areas the domains of the gods can shift or fail at any moment now that they aren’t being controlled. Unless you were close to one of the Heirs you are not aware of the program, merely that one day the world ended.

Strange Egg

  Ayala furrowed her brows as she came to hover over the odd little object that lay hidden on the floor in her barn. She had only come to notice it because her pair of Weavile had found it and taken interest in it. Initially she had watched them, thinking that they may have merely found a small mouse to hunt. When she instead saw them pushing a familiarly shaped pink object about on the ground, she rushed over to intervene on impulse. Sure enough, what she found lying on the floor was a Pokemon Egg. This was a subject of concern.

  Outside of the fact that she had no idea how long the egg had been here; she had no idea what species it belonged to. Most Pokemon eggs came equipped with familiar markings of some sort for her to take note of. This, however, was merely a small - soft - egg, with a pink shell. None of her Pokemon laid soft shelled eggs. She could think of no wild Pokemon native to the area which might have snuck in and left the egg in her care. As such she was at a bit of a loss. Unsure of what else to do, she retrieved the egg; much to the dismay of her Weavile; and set out to bring it inside.

  She assumed that her predatory Pokemon had protested because they wanted to eat the egg. Seasel and Weavile were well known for their taste of eggs. She ignored their angry snarling as she carried the egg out of the barn and out into the field. Whether it was part of their diet or not; she was not going to give this strange egg to them. She would hatch it, find out what species it belonged to, then figure out what to do from there. Until the latter could come to happen, she brought the egg inside and set it up in her incubation room. She placed the egg in a standard incubator to gestate, then left it for the time being.

  Hopefully she would have something easy to handle.

Alright so Ayala (shown above) is sort of my go to female muse for the time being. At one point she was going to be considered a persona, but ideals changed because whilst trying to treat her as a persona, I had 0 interest in her. To the point that I was initially just referring to her as “Deer” (my nickname) because I didn’t care enough to give her a legitimate name.

It wasn’t until a while after getting into the flow of things that I decided I wanted to make something legitimate of her. The more serious I got, the less I wanted to associate with her as a persona (as it made me uninterested in her and even made me dislike her a bit) and the more I wanted her to be a more developed character. I guess she could still be called a persona; but regardless of if its her or if its other characters I’ve used in the past (such as Leon or Jack), there is going to be a lot of myself in them.

Any character I’ve created could be considered a form of persona, given that I tend to lump a lot of myself into their behavior and personalities. Hence a running theme among my muses to cook for people or lack a real preference for the genitals of their partner (I typically assign them a broad sexuality such as Bi or Pan, but Ayala would be the first that I’ve given the same sexuality as myself). So in a sense I can understand if people out there would prefer to view her as a persona, as a great deal of her original design stems from myself (whereas other muses simply had designs that I considered attractive).

But I’ll make it clear that I do not personally view Ayala as my persona. And I’m going to blame this on the fact that I dissociate Ayala (and any other muse I’ve developed in the past) from myself and the world they’re developed in. All of my developed characters are going to have a lot of myself in them (Leon and Jack specifically stemmed from my suicidal background and my depression), but there’s always the mental connect of ‘this isn’t me’ whenever I do try to use something like a persona. The reality being that I don’t take a character seriously when I attempt to use them as a persona; I instead lose any sense of interest in them and dislike them as a whole, leading to early on abandonment.

Ayala’s name now is partly due to her having initially been designed to be a persona (something that I would dislike and not take seriously, therefor hopefully leading to my not caring in the slightest if people never took interest in her because if I myself didn’t care about her, why should they?). Ayala is a name meaning “Female Deer, or Gazelle” in the Hebrew language; which I felt was fitting, because of her initial name being Deer. So I kept the cute aspect of my little nickname and gave a more legitimate sounding name to the character as I took to developing them more as a character. It wasn’t until I decided that she was not my persona that I developed a fondness for her (becauseclearlyIjusthatemyself).

I got a little off track though this wasn’t the intention of the info dump. I guess I just wanted to clear a few things up and give some background on a character that people may or may not be avoiding because they view her as my persona (and a lot of people have a lingering hatred of persona’s in fandoms for some reason).

I really just wanted to talk about how Ayala, as a character, is a little different depending on which verse she’s in. Here on Tumblr she exists in two different states. She is a Dhampire in the casltevania verse on the main blog @springfallendeer, but on the blog where she was initially created, she’s a Pokemon Breeder specializing in Pokemon Variation. Hence the obvious name of the blog, @variationalpokemonbreeder. So the essence of this is that depending on which blog you interact with her on, you might get completely contradicting personality traits (because a different verse and background makes for a different upbringing, and therefor, different personalities).

Ayala is a character that can be shy, spiteful, or generally lacking any sense of care for what happens depending on the verse and the stage of development that she would be in that any given point in time. Always changing and sharing only a handful of specific traits (which she’d share with other muses, because those traits apply specifically to myself). So I’m here hoping that people might take some more interest in interacting with her. Pick a behavior line that you like and stick to it. It’ll be fun seeing how she gets along with others.
