AUs I like and my one favorite thing about them:

@tealmaskmybeloved’s Toxic consequences au.

Synopsis: An au Kieran made a deal with Dokutaro (aka pecharunt) and instead of going down the canon, he helps the Lousy three along with the peach to gain the real mask. And it’s up to Ogerpon, Carmine and the BB elite 4 to stop the plans of the Never-rotting peach.

Favorite thing: Kinda the authenticity of this for me. And it being the first AUs that got my Pokémon hyperfixation rising back from the dead really helped me out.

@skyedancer2006’s Bridged Toxicity au.

Synopsis: An au where Kieran, after making a deal with pecharunt, painfully transforms into a reptomammalian dragon creature as he deals with the struggle of his new form.

Favorite thing: The body horror and themes of what it is to be truly human. I honestly enjoy this topic of post-humanism or as I like to call it: “the altered self horror”. Things like all tomorrows, An American werewolf in London, or any other kind of fiction involving body horror in any way I really enjoy!

Check out this video for a more in-depth look at “the altered self horror” genre.

@indigodiskmybeloved’s Mochi Desires au.

Synopsis: The “what if” scenario where everything wife’s down a rollercoaster down. Nemona never got a perfect rival, team star is expelled and Arven’s Mabosstiff dies of its injuries. Pechakeen, a glimmora and the half of the now human Geeta, controls the three and forces them under their will.

Favorite thing: the tone and somberness of it all. And yes, this is coming from someone who prefers happy endings over downers, but considering how the AU and the tone, this doesn’t feel like a simple “toxic chained au” that can be stopped with a Pokémon battle. No. This is not that kind of au. Here, there was no Florian/Juliana. There was no helping them out. And in their place, are two siblings forced to take the role of the hero. It kinda has a somber feel of “oh god” for the poor children unable to climb out of the pit of no return… it kinda reminds me of Giant of the skies’ ornithocheirus in a sense.

but on a more “light hearted” note:

@ezlo-x’S Lost Family au

Synopsis: A botw/Totk au that deviates heavily from the canon of the era of the wilds. 17 years after a great calamity, Sheik and Ganondorf must save Hyrule from the threat of the Scourge king, with help of allies old and new, to bring balance and slay the ancient malice king.

Favorite thing: The character designs and vibe. Ezlo’s job at redesigning the Gorons, Zora and Rito is something I genuinely enjoy as they are given more realistic traits like the Gorons being more akin to dinosaur people. All her art has a sort of nostalgic vibe like this could be from a cartoon from the late 90’s to early 2000’s like samurai jack or a studio Ghibli movie. The art style really elevates the tone and narrative of this unique BOTW/TOTK au in a way that I honestly prefer over the original (I still love Botw/totk btw)

Honestly, this is probably one of my favorite TLOZ AUs out there.

@sp1derc1der’s Draco Scaled Au

Synopsis: an au where the main antagonists (along with some other characters) are weredragons, beings with both a dragon and human form.

Favorite thing: The dragon designs. Yes, I know, the one who likes dragons likes the au. But it goes deeper than just that. Each of the designs are all completely unique from one another in one way or another.

From Diminutive “baby” dragons like Hau, Penny or Marnie,

To hulking leviathans like Archie, Ghetsis and Cynthia.

From flightless drakes and lindwyrms like Maxie, Saturn and Cyrus,

To great Soarers like Zinnia and Lysandre who probably put the great Azdarchids of yore to shame.

So yeah! Just a funny lil’ thing about my favorite AUs I like rn.

Jesus fucking christ what

[germanpostwarmodern]

For bibliophiles there is little more interesting than to browse the libraries of other bibliophiles and discover inspiring books to add to the own collection. In 2023 the Nidus Architekturgalerie in Düsseldorf, Germany together with curator Oliver Jahn dedicated an entire exhibition to the book and their readers: in „Das Haus im Buch“ 100 individuals, i.e. architects, journalists, photographers, displayed their favorite architecture-related books from their own collection, complete with dog ears, annotations and bookmarks. Alongside each book the exhibition presented brief texts by the contributors, among them Andreas Murkudis, Florian Illies, John Pawson, Roger Boltshauser and Vincent Van Duysen. 

For all those who haven’t visited the exhibition the present volume offers the opportunity to make up for it: edited by Ana Vollenbroich, Annelen Schmidt-Vollenbroich, Oliver Jahn and published recently by Park Books: it follows the exhibition’s structure and on double pages shows the books and accompanying texts. And in view of the 100 individual entries there is a lot to discover: Gisbert Pöppler e.g. recounts that the reading of architectural historian Julius Posener‘s autobiography prompted him to pay the latter a visit that became a most treasured encounter he will never forget. And Jórunn Ragnarsdóttir on the other hand quotes Aldo Rossi‘s „Architecture of the City“ as the most important source of her architectural thinking. 

These two examples are representative of the variety of books and people included in the book and even for bibliophiles and well-read architecture buffs there will be surprises and suggestions for books to (re)read after finishing the present one. 

In a nutshell: „Das Haus im Buch“ is a gem and wonderful ode to the physical book as a cultural treasure!

[nielsnielsennews]

The debut single has arrived

[verdantmeadows]

Everyone is like "omg I love gay rivals to lovers" except for the Pokemon fandom, for whatever fucking reason (ignoring originalshipping and preciousmetalshipping). Like literally no one likes any of the gay rivals to lovers ships outside of those. If they DO, it's het. Like, you NEVER see cutebonesshipping. You never see cheeryfairyshipping. You never see clingyshipping. I don't even know what Arven x Florian is, because no one ships it, they usually all self-ship with Arven or ship Juliana with Arven (and it's very obvious Juliana is their self-insert). Like, I don't understand why?? I guess I could understand clingyshipping, because clingyshipping is very friends/rivals to lovers (they are both at the same time). But with the other two it's like?? They both have the asshole with the not asshole formula that originalshipping and preciousmetalshipping have. I guess maybe, okay, it's not protagonist x your rival, but they're clearly rivals to each other (because neither Hau nor Hop are asshole rivals to the protagonist).

And if you only do like protagonist x rival, like, I do not even SEE Bede x Victor or Gladion x Elio. I DO see Bede x Gloria and Gladion x Selene far more often, though! Like, there's nothing wrong with it, I guess? It's just. I wish shipping for the rivals in the Pokemon fandom was more popular, gay-wise. The only times it is popular outside of gen 1-2 are het-wise, and even then, it's usually glaringly obvious that they're not writing the female protag/rival, and are instead just writing themselves into the relationship.

And like, nothing wrong with that, but for the LOVE of God, just make a new character/OC. There is a difference between the official protagonist of the game and YOU. Just ship yourself as the protagonist with whatever character rather than saying "yeah this is the canon protag (is clearly a self-insert)" because it isn't fair to fans looking for content of the actual protagonist character x other character. Like I'm not saying don't have headcanons but I'm saying you cannot go (this is an example) "This is my Juliana! She is just me but inside the game" Juliana is NOT you just make your own self-insert for the game, like you play as your name in the game and customize the character. Rather than pretending that customization is Juliana just call it yourself.

Get into self-ship! For the love of god! Self-ship is fun and cool! But the official canon protagonist =/= the player character! This is an issue I see in so many fandoms! It's okay to have headcanons, of course!!! But there is a difference between headcanons and just having the character be YOU but in the game!

TLDR; Gay rival ships outside of Gen 1-2 are not popular in the Pokemon fandom which really bothers me because it seems like they should be. Even when it's the protagonist x their rival, it still isn't popular, but oftentimes you see that the het version of this ship is more popular. Ignoring personal preference, this is often frustrating because it's clear that the female character is just being used as a self-insert, in which case the person needs to understand that protagonist=/=player character and just make a self-insert and get into self-ship because it clogs the tags (whether on Tumblr, Ao3, or other media site) since you're not actually portraying the protagonist, you are portraying you.

Why the hell do I care about this it doesn't even matter and this is INCREDIBLY stupid I am getting off my soapbox now

[cheemken]

Hi! So I just recently got interested in your Pokemon Champion body swap AU and I just have lots of questions to ask you if that's alright (if you're still into pokemon that is.)

1. How do the Paldea kids, Alola kids, Galar kids and the Unova protagonist and the other Unova characters who were with Steven at Reversal Mountain at that time (Plus Cheren and Bianca) think about the body swap? One by one?

2. How does the pokemon league of each region think about the body swap? One by one? This is also includes the gym leaders themselves.

3. How does the signature pokemon of the champions react to the body swap? How do they help their respective trainers?

4. What was the reaction of each Champion when they are in each other's bodies? Their thoughts, feelings and how they cope? Especially Geeta since she is in the body of Hau and Hau is a god damn child. Or Iris since she is in a body of an adult, Geeta? And even Hau in the body of Lance or Steven in the body of Iris who I think is a 12 year old? Man, the age differences here. And don't get me started on both the gender and body dysmorphia and complications some of the champions will have to face.

That's all I would like to ask. Just take your time answer my questions. I will wait🥰

Hi hey, it has been such a long ass while since I last posted abt pkmn omf😭🤣

But happy to have you here, I'm glad you like my silly little au, and I'm sorry it took a while for me to answer too, I just got home cbmddn

Anyways to finally answer your questions hahah

1] the Unova kids, well, kids as if they're not adults in my hcs and aus hahaha, I'll answer that around the third one don't worry, but yeah ofc, Hilbert noticed first, bc hey, Iris doesn't usually show interest in shiny rocks, only if it has smth to do w dragons, ofc he knows what his best friend likes

I think Bianca would notice second tho, cause ofc, Iris was usually so clingy to her, and would listen to her ramble on abt her research, but surprisingly, Iris was caught up in her own world, finding some rare rocks and stones

And soon, she told Cheren, who then told Hilda, and now they're all a bit sus bc Hilbert is like, glaring at Iris lmfaooo

Steven ended fessing up bc he was so damn sure Hilbert was abt to throw hands w him, demanding where Iris was

The Paldea kids, oh, Penny knew immediately lmfao. Geeta, while not the best at technology, had some semblance of knowledge abt it, Iris, however, is like a grandma trying to figure out the buttons, look, she and Drayden are both shit at tech cut them some slack, it's actually canon lmfaooo

Penny did play along tho, see if Florian and the others would notice too. But w them caught up w their own stuff, and Iris trying to figure out shit, well, Penny went over to her and asked her if she really isn't Geeta. Bc she knows Geeta's smile, that's not how Geeta smiles bc for once it didn't unsettle her lmfao

Iris said yeah she's not Geeta, and told Penny to not tell anyone, and help her get back to Unova, or maybe figure out what's going on. Penny sighed, god, she always gets dragged to these kinda things, but damn it was it thrilling lmfao

The Galar kids, I think none of them would notice it was Diantha in Leon's place now, bc ofc, Dia is quite a great actress. The ones who noticed immediately tho? Sonia and Raihan

I think that's when Diantha slipped

Sonia, for one, bc she noticed the loneliness in those eyes again, she never thought she'd see it again on Leon, and she ended up asking abt it, if he's doing okay, if Rose suddenly showed up again, or smth happened. Dia kinda slipped and said she misses her brother and Drasna, voice so quiet that you have to be real close to hear it. Sonia asked what was that, but Dia shook her head, said it's nothing, just,, champion responsibilities. No, Sonia did not at all believe that

Raihan figured out it wasn't exactly Leon bc Dia slipped during a battle and almost said Psychic instead of Fire Blast lmfao, that and after that battle, he also saw her, ofc in Leon's body, almost head to the women's restroom lmfaoooo

2] okay let's be real, the Indigo league would immediately find out it's not Lance bc Hau, as chill as he is, is still rather young and this is the first time this has happened and he started to panic the moment they gave him paperwork

And soon enough, Clair is there calling every other league if they found Lance and if their champions are also alright. Karen was there trying to calm Hau down tho

The Hoenn League, yeah, Lance and Cynthia aren't fooling anyone. Plus, Tate and Liza figured out and just deadass told everyone else lmfao. Cynthia did reassure Lisia tho that they'll get Wallace back, and she apologized to her for trying to trick her into thinking she's actually Wallace. Lisia just looked at her and smiled and said "yeah, I kinda figured, Ms Cynthia. My uncle never burns anything when he cooks, even when he's sick." Cynthia vowed to never talk to any member of this family again girl this is just humiliating at this point lmfao

Sinnoh league, oh, they took a while to figure out it's actually Wallace, but y'know how they figured it out? Gardenia took "Cynthia" out for some treats at a cafe, and Cynthia will always, always, order cake and hot chocolate, but Wallace ordered tea and Gardenia just "yeah, no, who the FUCK—" she immediately messaged the group chat. Candice, Gardenia, Roark, Flint, and even Volkner found it funny tho

Unova, well, yeah, after the events of Reversal Mountain, Stevene just straight up told the league bc he is NOT risking both Hilbert and Drayden's wrath lmfaooo

Kalos, honestly, Leon is a shit actor, he slipped the second day and Drasna was just "oh, dear.. then where is Diantha?" Sycamore kinda,,, resents him, low-key, like really low-key, cause ofc that family dinner w Drasna and Dia, he really thought it was Dia, for once their family was together after Diantha's busy schedule, but now he finds out it wasn't actually Diantha. Drasna was also a bit sad, but honestly she's more worried for Diantha cause during all that, they probs don't know where she actually is

Alola, yeah, Geeta's also not fooling anyone, they really really really had to calm Hala down and stop him from storming to Paldea bc he thought his grandson would be there in Geeta's own body. Geeta was calm through it all, even chuckled and said it is rather amusing, but, she has already contacted the other champions, perhaps they have the solution for this. The kids did ask her abt her league tho, and abt Paldea, and what the region was like, they'd want to visit there some day. Geeta told them she has a protege there, close to their age, perhaps they'll meet Nemona one day, she is looking for trainers on par w her

Galar, yeah Dia is actually fooling all of them except ofc, Sonia and Raihan. Idk I don't think those two would tell anyone just yet, I think they did ask Dia what's going on, and Dia finally told them and even she's not sure how this happened, and she's still trying to figure out how to get back to her body bc of all the bodies she could've switched w, it just had to be Leon's

Paldea, Iris also isn't fooling anyone. Well, she's kinda fooling some of them, she and Hau impersonated some of the champions enough, and w Dia's acting lessons, well, she learned a thing or two. Then again, Penny was observant, Larry did notice too, he just, well, he isn't getting paid enough to care. Their champions come and go anyways, when asked abt why Geeta seems a bit off he'd just said "I don't know, do I look like her babysitter? That's one job I didn't applied for."

3] Dragonite, ah what a tough and terrifying dragon, he's so soft w Hau. Like, he knows that Hau is getting nervous, and it reminded him when Lance was also just a boy, when he tries so hard to act tough, so he's there nuzzling close to Hau, calming him down too

Metagross, ofc, it's a smart Mon, it knows it's Lance lmfao, but also, just to mess w Lance bc of how gruff his personality is, a far cry from Steven's, it often won't listen to him, y'know, just to fuck w him a bit lol

Milotic, oh, this one is as petty as Wallace, immediately found out it's Cynthia and just. Would Not listen lmfaooo

Garchomp, also figured out it's Wallace, yes it's bc of the tea thing, but unlike Milotic, Chomps is more confused than anything cause smth like this didn't even happen when they were in the Distortion world

Haxorus, she honestly pities Steven at this point, man is being interrogated like a Plasma grunt😭🤣

Gardevoir, well, ofc she tries to play along, but I think day one she figured it out it's not Diantha, and had some mental conversation w Leon going "Where is Diantha?" And Leon is never ever forgetting that deep foreboding voice ever, he never thought that's what Gardevoir even sound like w a human voice, he still shivers at the thought

My ace for Hau in this is Decidueye, I think Deci would be at least a lil bit intimidated w Geeta, tho it did find it amusing when Geeta tried a Z Move, especially w Mallow teaching her

Charizard, also a lil bit intimidated of Dia, but hey, Dia was also soft y'know, she gave him pokepuffs and he got attached real quick lmfao

Look look listen I know Geeta's ace is Glimmora, but in my hcs, it's Kingambit, bc it fits and it should've been him at the start and I will die on this hill. Anyways, he's also a lil bit weirded out at seeing Iris in Geeta's body bc ofc, they both have drastic personalities, and when he saw Iris sneaking out to get ice cream he actually blanched before he remember ah yeah, that's not his trainer hahaha

4] see, okay, while yeah, the age difference is a bit odd, but in my hcs I did change their ages and such, mainly bc when I write my hcs and aus, it's mostly set in like some timeskip after the events of each game y'know. So Hau is at least 15-17, while Iris is in her early 20s, so technically Iris is an adult

But yeah the gender dysphoria is so real, I think w Cynthia especially, bc for one, girl is trying her hardest to keep her life in check in her own body yeah, but w my hcs she's like, yeah she's not doing well, like, her left eye is scarred, her body was too thin, sometimes she forgets even the most basic of things, but Wallace's body was so different from hers. Sometimes she thinks this is what she could've been if she didn't spiral y'know, and during the time of the body swap, she kept thinking abt it. One of the few moments Milotic would actually be nice to her tho, as if reassuring her that hey, she's making an effort, and that's better than nothing

Geeta will admit tho, she did miss having a younger body, and wow was Hau flexible, Geeta wasn't that flexible when she was younger lmfao

But yeah I'm sorry but I'm not gonna talk much abt the body dysphoria lest I spiral too hahaha

Anyways yeah hahah

Books I want to read in 2024

I was inspired by @fluencylevelfrench to write this post, so here are the 50 books I want to read in 2024, which is my provisional Goodreads goal. (I always set a lowish number and adjust it throughout the year depending on how my goal progresses.)
