#Elena Serra

[the-witch-of-woods-beyond]

overhated female characters mean the world to me and i will protect them with my life because fandoms have no right to judge them for acting like someone who went through unimaginable trauma and call them annoying for their understandable behavior.

[evicrystal7]

Day 14 - Elite Four

One of my favorite characters (despite appearing only once or are posthumous)

Day 15 - Family

Headcanon of mine is that Serra's natural hair is light blue and she side dyed half of it pink. Bennet inherited her eye colour only.

Opera on YouTube

I've shared links to complete opera performances before, but I love to share them, so I thought I'd make a few masterposts.

These list are by no means the only complete filmed performances of these operas on YouTube, but I decided that ten links for each opera was enough for now.

By the way, some of the subtitles are just a part of the video, while others require you to click CC to see them.

[julerosemary]

One of the more interesting minor notes in the more recent Pokémon games is that different characters, such as the Team Star bosses, use different types of Pokéballs. It’s a neat characterization detail. So I thought I would apply to Reborn’s characters.

Also here’s some visual references:

Gym Leaders

Julia-Fast. Only her Voltorb and Electrode actually get the bonus from it. She uses it because it fits best with her pom-poms.

Florinia-Timer. Statistically the most effective ball.

Shelly-Friend. It’s cute and fits with her forest field.

Shade-Cherish. Mysterious and red.

Aya-Poke. It’s the cheapest.

Serra-Premier. A show of aesthetic and (somewhat former) status.

Noel-Poké. He’s basic.

Radomus-Master. Spent half the coffers on it. Also, because grand”master”.

Luna-Moon. Fits her vibes immaculately.

Samson-Heavy. The circus strongman should lift heavy things. That’s like, his job.

Charlotte-Premier. Both cool and easily available.

Terra-GS balls (or at least, standard pokéballs painted to look like GS balls). The ultimate troll.

Ciel-Wing. White and blue, and associated with flying types. Maybe she learned to make them back out in the country.

Adrienn-Luxury. Only the best for xyr Pokémon!

Titania-Net. Completely symbolic, with no practical use. She’s extra like that.

Amaria-Dive. One can surmise that she spends a lot of time underwater. She likely catches her mons there as well.

Hardy-Repeat. Just thinks it looks cool.

Saphira-Dusk. Very effective and also kinda edgy. Her gym emulates a cave.

Sandy-Luxury. Stolen from Craudberry’s collection.

Elite 4

Heather-Jet. A soaring pokéball for a fast-flyer.

Benett-Nest. He definitely raises his bug Pokémon from the first stage.

Laura-Heal. No explanation needed.

El-Legends Arceus normal Pokéballs. Took up crafting sometime after his sight was restored.

Anna-Dream. Due to the dreamsickness and such.

Ame-Safari. Fits symbolically.

Rivals

Victoria-Heal. Imitating Kiki.

Cain-Love. Flirt.

Fern-Great. Once superior, now outclassed.

Cal-Great. Wanted to show up Blake by using a less effective ball.

Meteors

Aster-Quick. The somewhat hasty one.

Eclipse-Timer. The level-headed one.

Ace-Glimmer. Uses a lot of seals.

Sirius-Ultra. No-nonsense kinda fellow.

Solaris-Gigaton. RVTERN to tradition man himself.

Taka-PLA regular pokéballs. Similar to Solaris but extremely half-assing it.

Lin-Cherish. Mysterious ass.

Zero-Ultra. Looks like Umbreon.

Eve-Quick. Statistically the most efficient ball. 

Lumi-Level. Had a very high level Glaceon and little other Pokémon, so she figured that level balls were best for their price. 

Sigmund-Ultra. For the intimidation factor.

Blake-Ultra. Try-hard.

[POSTGAME FINAL BOSS]-Reborn

Others

Corey-Poke. To further comparisons Elena makes to child champions.

Kiki-Heal. Has a focus on healing and mental wellness.

Craudberry-Luxury. Purely as a status symbol, would actually make them more uncomfortable if she could.

Eustace-Luxury. Both as a status symbol and genuine care for his mons.

Archer-Team Aqua’s Ball

Maxwell-Team Magma’s Ball

Corin-Rouge-Love. Whore 

Elena-Jet. Where Heather got hers from.

Zina-Dream. She is all but one.

[amethystblack]

which characters in the game are trans and which are cis? and which are straight and which are gay? I think its funny that straight cis people seem to be a small minority in the reborn region. is there a reason for that?

The first question is cut and dry enough that I don't really feel the need to list them here, but there are five non-cis characters. The second question is really interesting to me because I think you missed a couple sexualities in there.

But as asked, Cal is definitely gay. And I think he might be the only one, in that he explicitly states he's not interested in the opposite gender. Going by relationship points, we can probably infer that Samson is exclusively straight too.

Probably, I tend to think of characters as being pan until proven otherwise. I imagine that, independent of social factors, most people would be that way too. Anyway, there are obviously a lot of characters who have expressed preferences within that. For instance, Amaria is clearly sapphic but is that to say she would never be interested in a guy? I don't think it's that black and white, and I can't recall anything in game that she explicitly self-identifies as a lesbian despite her obvious proclivity. So is she gay? I invite the player to hold their own opinion of that based on what they see in game. Same with Julia-- she talks about dating, like, at least eight different guys, but does that mean she's exclusively straight? I don't feel the need to make that call.

But your view of sexuality is obviously less fluid, so let's play by your rules. Let's assume anyone who expresses explicit attraction to anyone besides their opposite gender is not straight. Off the top of my head, from characters with unique portraits, that gives us, in the "gay" category:

Cain, Amaria, Titania, Terra, Ciel, Cal, and I'll even throw Taka in because of the boyfriend question still giving a point even if you play a guy. Seven, plus the aforementioned five non-cis characters.

Now let's list characters who are shown engaging in explicitly heterosexual behavior:

Victoria, Julia, Corey, Elena, Radomus, Zina, Taube, Aya, Hardy, Serra, Samson, Laura, Bennett add I forget if it is explicit but I definitely dropped some hints of Lumi crushing on Noel. ... Fourteen?

Twelve vs Fourteen.

And that's by -your- rules.

I think it's funny that it seems to you like only a "small minority" of the population is straight and cis. Is there a reason for that?

[dear-indies]

Hi hi howdy and hello ! I was hoping that you could help me find a cis female FC between the ages of 21 and 30 with naturally curly hair. Ethnicity is open to any and all. If they have resources, all the better if you don't mind. Please and thank you so much for your time and all that you do!

[the-witch-of-woods-beyond]

everytime i hear about a book/show with an overhated character (usually a main character) i already know i’m going to love them and it happens EVERY TIME.

clarke griffin, meredith grey, sarah cameron, buffy summers, kiara carrera, rhaenyra targaryen, clint barton, lori grimes, elena gilbert, daenerys targaryen, alina starkov, belly conklin, harry potter, laia of serra, bellamy blake, rey skywalker, skyler white, sejanus plinth, arya stark, etc (give me more so I can add to my collection)

some of these characters have made bad decisions and may not be the best of people, but i feel like that has to be compared to the world they’re in and the people around them. some of them literally did no wrong in my mind though, though.

[anguis-sapphire]

for the series meme: pokemon reborn — @drpresto :}

Oh, the rambles you may have unleashed here. Thank you for this, friend, this really really means a lot ^-^

(source: this post by askboxmemes)

Give me a series & I’ll tell you..

❤ Favourite Male: Taka my beloved (platonically)!! He is a somewhat sad scarf man and I care about him greatly. As do many others, which makes me smile to see. I’m very very glad he comes back on Anna Route (and some Lin Routes, since I think the only requirements are Reshiram and victory at Pyrous?), even if it isn’t until Tier 5. In fact, I’m pretty sure the reason I downloaded Reborn myself in the first place was to get to experience Zekrom Route firsthand (because the playthrough I was watching ended up on Reshiram), and I wanted to do this so that Taka wouldn’t get killed off in my version of the game and so I could get what I thought at the time was a better or at least kinder ending (even if Anna Route - which needs Reshiram - has since become my favourite route now that episode 19 is out).

❤ Favourite Female: Funnily enough, Elena actually came to mind first for this, which is thanks to her combination of amazing personality and super pretty design AND awesome Trainer title and type specialities (haha no I’m not biased because my self-insert is also a Ghost-type specialist, what are you talking about). ..But all of that also applies to Luna, as well. And it would just feel wrong to not say Luna for this, especially given that Elena is present in the game for all of one postgame cutscene and that's it (which is REALLY a shame). So.. Luna. As my general track record of blogging on Tumblr in general probably indicates quite well. I just really really love her, okay?? ;w;

❤ Favourite Pairing: ..does Lunadri count because then if so Lunadri (i.e. my selfship with Luna). Going strictly by canon x canon, though.. maybe Julirini (Julia x Florinia)? Ayahardy is also a classic, as are the Agate Ace Triumvirate (though that's three, not a pairing) - the detail of Noel being commissioned for a wedding ring and Serra I think being commissioned for a wedding dress after the timeskip made me smile. However I can’t deny that the concept of- is it Solias? Solaris x Elias - is very amusing to me. Arcdrienn and Takace are both nice ideas as well, and I think Torialice and Noelumi would be cute too. ..Aaah, this game has so many neat potential pairings and that’s not even considering OC x canon ships and selfships, of which there are many (which I absolutely adore seeing and am not listing only out of not wanting to accidentally not mention one that I like)!!!

❤ Least Favourite Character: If it has to only be one, then.. Probably Sigmund. Other candidates would be Bennett and Elias (maybe for obvious reasons, but I’m afraid I still can’t shake the dislike despite their improvements in postgame), and Sirius, and then to a lesser extent Fern (though seeing how much other people like him has somewhat helped, things like the Beryl Bridge scene do not help him).

❤ who’s most like me: Hmm.. I'm not sure, actually! To tell you the truth, I struggle a bit with figuring out what I’m like in the first place, which makes answering questions like these very difficult.

❤ most attractive: ..I mean, again, I can't not mention Luna for this. She is very pretty and I love her (everyone interprets her outfits slightly differently but they always look really good). But then so is Elena. Perhaps this is something you may have been expecting.

❤ three more characters that I like: Ace is DEFINITELY one I have to mention here - they are just such a good addition to the cast and I love just about anything to do with them. I also care a lot about Anna and Noel - I think Noel is still very underrated, which i know is kind of the point, but still. Also Shelly, she is so good. And also Shade, I wish he was more present in the postgame honestly (although that might stem from the main quest featuring him, as in the one that shows some of his backstory, is the Jirachi quest, which is one of my least favourites because of all the needless Sigmund info). ..I could honestly mention half the cast here, to be fair, but I'll stop here because this is already such a long answer ;w;

..Oh crumbs this took something in the realm of a week to fill out and is probably several hundred words long. I apologise profusely. I hope you enjoy reading this even if it probably makes absolutely zero sense to you. Thank you very kindly for this opportunity, friend ;w;

Notte di Stelle

Era una notte limpida e serena all’Osservatorio di Monte Serra. Le stelle brillavano luminose nel cielo, e un’atmosfera di calma avvolgeva l’intero osservatorio. Elena, una giovane astronoma di 23 anni, era al suo primo incarico ufficiale. Con un misto di eccitazione e nervosismo, sistemava il telescopio per la sua sessione notturna. Alessandro, un ricercatore di 28 anni con una vasta…
