Massive idea/sketch dump below (just rainworld oc stuff/regions) :

I'm not sure how to set this out but here are just a ton of ideas for ocs/regions some I've mentioned and others which are newer.

Regions (so far) :

The Perch:

A large vertical region frequently used as a nesting ground by vultures to keep away from rain due to its height.

Very few creatures other than vultures (mostly blue and white lizards).

It was re-purposed as a communications array for iterators.

Pipes (placeholder name):

Another vertical region.

The lower section of the region is covered with pearls hanging from ceilings and various pipes alongside the many many scavengers that live there.

The upper section is quiet with only a few scavengers daring to make the journey up.

Other than the scavengers, frequently seen creatures are mostly centipedes of the large variety, various types of lizards and occasionally eggbugs.

(don't have a name for this one yet):

The region has few areas with stable ground, most of it being located above a certain death pit.

I'm still figuring this one out.

Tunnels (placeholder name):

A very very long tunnel that reaches far across many regions.

Most walls are completely covered with graffiti.

The region is dark with little lighting.

Spiders are the most common creature found here.

Corroded Overgrowth (mabey permanent name) :

A large rainforest like area similar to the outer expanse.

Very large biodiversity.

most of it is covered with plants, some reaching above the cloud layer.

Many creatures there have specific traits to survive there.

Creatures and stuff:

Gardener slugcats:

Despite their name gardener slugcats are normal slugcats who have moved to the corroded overgrowth.

What makes them different is their method of survival.

These slugcats have an interesting relationship with overgrown pole plants.

These pole plants provide the slugcats shelter and in turn the slugcats defend the pole plant from sporezards.

Overgrown poleplants:

A very large species of poleplants that acts similarly to monster kelp by sensing subtle movements.

Located all across the floor of the Corroded Overgrowth.

Sporezard/spore lizard/mushroom lizard:

These lizards are omnivores that mostly eat the giant poleplants located in the Corroded Overgrowth alongside worm grass and other small prey.

Their main method of hunting is releasing a spore-like gas to numb the surrounding prey and then attack.

Sporezards have weak bites making it easy to escape from them, but they are good climbers.

Drop corn plant:

A small vine-like plant that has many seeds growing from the side.

Ripe drop corn seeds provide 1/2 a food pip while unripe drop corn provide 1/4 of a food pip and eating a lot of it makes the creature sleepy.

Usually found hanging from ceilings or pipes.

This part 1 because tumblr only allows 10 images

Alrighty! With all of them finished, here is a size comparison chart of all 80 Fakemon from my Great Lakes inspired Pokémon region! 

So, which Pokémon of the Norre region would end up on your team?

forgot to put it here 😨

[opal-owl-flight]

can I ask about the poster "agent 3" kids story?

Yes you can and here it all is!! Presenting…

tldr: She comes from a family of big name actors in the industry, and shes been raised from hatching to continue their legacy. Its…a lot of pressure to put on a kid, especially one who just wants to make her (impossible to satisfy) family proud. Despite being surrounded by impossible standards, the fakest friends chosen for her, being given everything she can ever want (except what she really needs), and putting on a hundred masks for everyone in her life for survival’s sake in a cutthroat industry, she chooses to be kind.

more details under the cut!!

Her name is Sariwa, which means “fresh” . Named for her spring green tentacles and as a blessing from her parents that shed stay youthful, beautiful. a hope that she would be seen and be adored (as freshness implies coolness/popularity in sploonworld).

Shes hatched into the acting industry, with both parents being big in the industry. From hatching she was expected, trained to be an actor like her mother is. The media adores them, this “sweet little family”, but no one knows how nefarious everything is when the cameras are off.

The dad is neglectful, disappearing into meetings most of the time. The mom is a helicopter parent to make up for it. Pointing out every flaw that Sariwa apparently has in either performance or appearance. Never giving praise. Except when she performs “well enough” on stage. This instills in the child this need to make them proud. to…to make everyone happy. She becomes someone whose dependent on other peoples’ praise to function.

Shes given everything else, dont get me wrong. Every material thing she’ll ever need. all the big popular “friends” chosen for her. But…shes not allowed to turf. yknow. biggest event in an inkling’s life here in Inkopolis. and shes not allowed to go to school either. shes too busy memorizing lines for adverts or-

The second she turned 14, she was chosen as the lead role for Cuttlegear’s brand new show abt Agent 3. She looked exactly like the legendary hero, according to the sources. All her time went into this project. Thankfully, unlike at home…her co-actors were very kind. Her parents didnt choose for her this time. She was meeting actual people who dont put on masks beyond their job. the actor they got for Cuttlefish, in particular, is a very kind soul, defending her when the directors get too pissy with her performance. (Those are the only people she fears, tbh shes fearful of most authority figures.)

*Cuttlefish is also depicted as kind and supportive in the show. and in most games. Unlike the real Cuttlefish, which is kind of a loony old man who pushes ideas on young inklings. He still gives more support and kindness that 3s dad ever gave, but thats only RELATIVE to how little he gave in the first place. One can only imagine the longing this inspires in the real 3.

Sariwa…since shes hatched shes had to put on an act. Be the perfect little doll for her parents. For the world. But her friends here, they inspired her to…have fun with what shes doing again. To take off the mask (mostly beyond the clock). Breathe life in the character when she can. (But lets be real…shes getting 3 spot on with how many parallels they have with each others lives.)

But what is she beyond the mask, her role? She wasnt allowed to do anything beyond this. She was forced to depend on her abusive parents and their associates. She cant live alone beyond them. Not allowed to turf bc shes “a prim and proper young lady; above such violent drivel that only delinquents participate in”. They gesture to 3, whos one of the faces Squidforce uses in their promotions, and say (ironically.) that she must not become that. Face ripped to shreds and eye mangled.

No one knows they got that from the real war that Sariwa is pretending to show.

The show does its best to be an accurate telling. Child friendly, to a point. Horrifying things still get kept in somewhat. Things that will horrify a child on stage.

If Sariwa is terrified of the props, can you imagine how it was for 3?

————————

And once she realizes all of this. Once she gets out of this situation thanks to Callie, Marie, and 3 themself. Does she feel guilt? Guilt for depicting the horrors in a way that glorifies it instead? A part of a project that aims to make people complacent to the real horrors that churned below?

There is one thing Sariwa feels about 3, that I am aware of rn.

“Im glad, that out of every story I couldve told, Im glad it was yours.”

Just like 8, she sung this tale in her hearts. Just like 8, she used this to break out of this terrible situation, answering the call of the ones who promised her safety. A better life. Like the way she stage broke through that prop in the choreographed Octavio fight, she broke through the influence of those around her.

*She actually went off-script a bit in that scene. After she beat down Octavio, she held out her hand. Mostly to help the actor up. But then, without realizing, she spoke, she spoke of making things better between the nations. That maybe he doesnt have to steal the zapfish anymore.

Her time with the octoling actors, and hearing the stories from the ex-octarians, made her aware and know the fact that theyre people too. The directors kept it in. They knew that if they released this as they have planned it, there will be fuckign riots from the ex-octarians or the Inkling “sympathizers”.

She saw the value this story held, despite the subliminal messaging that she wished wasnt implemented. That she wished she wasnt a part of. She saw that its a tale of hope. A tale that inspires one to become the hero of their own life. A tale that inspires one to make the world a better place.

————————

So she was hatched and raised to make people smile, singing her songs and dancing their dances. Much like the clan singer that was 4, except the tradition is much more healthy compared to industry standard. And she didnt become as mean as the people around her, at least not internally. She put on a mean mask but she felt the void within. When she was given kindness for a long enough time, she put her walls down.

And just like the real 3, she underwent through the horrors of expectations she had to hold up, and trying to make uninterested parents proud. They dont see her as their daughter, shes just a means to an end. She had to wear a hundred masks to survive and it made her lose her sense of identity. She had to be mature, she had to take the shitty behavior of adults who expect her to be like one too. It made her lose grip of who she is beyond this role. Hell, they made her so dependent on their handouts that shes not sure she can exist beyond this hell. Much like how 3 struggles to know a life beyond their duty.

And much like 8, she used the story she was telling to break out and get herself in a better situation. She met with the real Agents 1 and 2 (without her knowledge) and asked. Begged. for help, after her show ended. (3 also kind of pointed the two in her direction. Bc cod knows how horrifying this industry is. Shes lucky she didnt get any of the grosser horrors ~~its bc I didnt feel comfortable writing such topics~~)

And then shes faced with the same problem all the real legends faced. What comes after the end? When the dust clears, what happens next? She wasnt given a damn choice, she wasnt allowed to try to learn things beyond this role. to be beyond an imagined agent 3. a soldier for the screen. who is she now, that shes out of that battlefield?

little does she realize that the real 3s asking the same question for themself.

Made a whole bunch of characters for my Fayre Region setting! A lot of these have been planned for ages. Some are new!

I'll write a bit with each close up! So long post... beware!

Some names may change! Gelli might be swapped out for another fairy type... but we'll see.

Team Tera! A paldean Tinkatuff finds herself in the Fayre Region after hearing about the Diamond Domain next to one of the towns. She wants to investigate it, in search of Terastal crystals to see if they can be found outside of Paldea, a quest given to her by a researcher friend. She doesn't have permission to access the Domain... so she must work up in the Guild ranks to prove her worthiness!

She teams up with Gelli, a sweet, shy little Snorunt who's always been too scared to join the guild alone. She is a remake of an old Snorunt OC I never used.

Team Ore. Originally I was gonna pair up Tinkatuff with the Sableye, but after a recent Forretress post, I wanted to make one an OC, cos I love Forretress!!! They're part of the guild too, but they're not very good... they're still very low rank. A silly duo causing some mischief. Jerry is actively seen trying to sneak into the Diamond Domain to eat their diamonds and gems... Walnut on the other hand is a rather silly fella.

Skippy is a simple Skiploom, enjoying the sunny days and exploring the region to his hearts content. Good friend of Bink's!

Arrian is a Falinks who lost his platoon many years ago in a terrible battle... they all left him and got jobs elsewhere!!!! He's a bad captain, and is overly dramatic about losing his platoon. "Oh... how could they leave me so soon... in this cold, cold world... choosing to earn minimum wage instead of ADVENTURE...!" Think Meta Knight meets Zote lmao.

The two staff at a little cafe in the town! I have yet to name the town... I'm bad with names.

Delicia is the owner! Specializing in coffee, tea and biscuits. Galarian style... not Unovan biscuits!!! Sweet lady who's an expert at her craft.

And then Lorette! A shy, kind shiny Dolliv who both acts as a waitress in the cafe, as well as dealing with the savory options. She has a crush on Bink... but after learning of Himemi, she does her best to put her feelings aside to try and help wherever she can. Another good friend of Binks.

??????

This strange figure appeared shortly after Ultra Wormholes started opening up around the region. She does not speak, her actions seem... not her own. While she's caused some havoc and fear through the region, she's more scared of you!

I had a funny thought that I had to share

Aka Autistic battle maniacs convert an innocent sick child and he’s new pet to their cult feat a gym leader who’s about to die.

Okay so funny au where Kieran is an exchange student and arrives just at the right time because Uva Naranja Academy are going on a field trip to Hoenn for 5 days.

Wally gets new friends and grows stronger MUCH FASTER because one is good with Evs and Ivs, the other knows how to perfectly balance a team and the last one can help review strategies by battling

Also Arven and Penny are somewhere having fun, they’ll sometimes make a cameo to eat sandwiches with the rest

Kieran and Nemona are doing the gym challenge for fun

Niko is once again dragged into legendary bullshit and he hates that

[billfrancois]

Este takes her pal Euna on a kayaking adventure while she's here in the Norre region! The rivers look extra pretty during the fall, just watch out for jumping Lurefry and Cohook! Euna belongs to

@jsketch12 's Joseon Fakemon region!

if you know, you know. don't you just love wordplay?

listen. listen directly to me. snivy is hard to conceptualize as a real creature from its official art. what are its legs? what are its arms? ribbons? paper? not here. snivy is a gecko-snake thing here.

i love sketching out regional variants and with this particular snivy-variant being from an oak forest, it grows a myriad of things including berries and sometimes flowers from the thick foliage along its neck and back. (taking) inventory? taking (inventory).

i just think it'd be neat to have a grass type to steal- borrow food from in dungeons. just... be sure to not eat the seeds. they're toxic.

During a short vacation trip to Alola, Alistair becomes friends with a Team Skull Grunt, Makoa Lee. Who decides because of Alistair he doesn’t want to be one anymore and pursues becoming a true Trainer again to eventually a Police Officer. ☺️
