Cilan deserves to go feral at least once, I fully stand by that

Cilan: I’m the oldest of the trio. It’s only proper of me to set a good example!

Skyla: *major gym leader misconduct*

Cilan: *very deep breath* I’m going to hurt someone

Cilan, in this universe, is quite a punk. Having green hair in the 50s was quite a rare and scandalous sight so no one but someone who really wants to fight against the norm would wear it

(as far as I could tell, source: trust me bro)

He‘s cooking at a diner where the subway bosses really like to have lunch but they never really see him bc he‘s always hidden away in the kitchen where his outrageous appearance can‘t upset the guests.

However Cilan is super fascinated with the subway owners. Their iconic look, the topics they talk about, mostly trains, and the way they effortlessly represent authority, yet not oppression but readiness to help and serve.

Kinda disappointed we didn't get a character bio for these guys from the leaks. (Or ANY of the Plasma characters from what I've seen, like I really want to know further into N's, Colress's, and Ghetsis's backgrounds. Ghetsis coming across N and the Shadow Triad when they needed his help just always felt so suspicious to me knowing how manipulative Ghetsis is.)

But I remember being very big into the theory that the Shadow Triad were the Striaton Bros, especially since there's a bit of resemblance in the early concept art with the hairstyles (one having hair over the same eye as Cress, one having swept-back bangs like Cilan, and one having messier hair, like Chili), and in the manga, they were hard-baiting us with the Triad's masks resembling the elemental monkeys and sharing type specialties with the Trio.

Mostly for the potential in the anime. For some reason, Cilan kinda gave me shady vibes and could low-key be a bit of a jerk sometimes (recent example, but bruh, this was unwarranted lmao), but I just find the resulting inner conflict that would occur very fun to play with, between working for someone you KNOW doesn't really give a damn about you beyond how useful you can be to them but still being loyal to them vs. actually finding friends, and feeling like a person for the first time in your life and actually enjoying yourself, despite knowing you'll have to betray them later and beginning to dread that coming moment more and more.

(Obviously, it's been debunked again and again, but I was really hoping for it to be true when BW was still ongoing. I even had a bit of an AU going where Ash had won an early battle with N--who had overheard Ash having a discussion with Iris about having seen Zekrom--, and Ghetsis sent Cilan to keep tabs on Ash after hearing about this and his strong connection with Pokemon, with the other two brothers keeping tabs on the other Unovan Gym Leaders in the meantime. I lost all my art that I drew for it tho 😅 I was so excited for Plasma coming to the anime, but then plans understandably changed with the earthquake and we didn't see Plasma for, like, two years after that. B2W2 had shown a flashback of the Triad and the Triplets together, people were calling bullshit and believing they were lying, but then the manga had the two trios fighting each other, and then they were just never adapted into the anime. Neat fact tho, in the dub B2W2 animated trailer, the Triad member that speaks shares the same VA as Cilan, Jason Griffith.)

Cilan! Im currently making an au of the Striaton bros might make it into a comic if I have motivation 😭

MORE ART this time it is of my favorite sibling trio! I actually have a few head canons going that I want to share about these goobers! I very much think that the three of them are 17 and do a lot of typical teenager things in their free time, for example in the first image I was like there is no way the three of them do not visit Roxie's Gym regularly just for the music. Like the three of them definitely listen to rock music on the regular.

Cilan is also a conspiracy/mystery nerd he would listen to those podcasts about those people who mysteriously died or disappeared, Cilans favorite conspiracies are about the local celebrities.

Chili tries so hard to be a bad boy but he is not. He is a cringe fail loser who sobs over the pyroar king[Pokemon world's version of lion king] and he has absolutely no volume control, but that's okay because Cilan and Cress still love him and absolutely spoil him rotten.

Cress is absolutely an emo, you cannot look at that hairdo and tell me that he is not an emo or that he has not had an emo phase. Regardless of his emoness he absolutely pulls harmless pranks and jokes and pranks on Cilan and Chili.

[heartfall-syndrome]

remember that one episode? he was not having a good time

CHILI AND CRESS' OLD DESIGNS HELLO:???????????????????????
