#THANK U SM FOR THE ASK WAUGH

[dandyshucks]

hiii dandy !! i wanted to ask, what do you think you and guzma would do post-canon after the events of sun & moon ? (i might have asked this before - if i have, i apologize..) (i also wanted to say that its been really cool seeing ur progress on ur plush!! it seems so hard, so you having that skill is rly admirable and i wish u lots of luck w finishing it!!) (@dmclr)

CLARA HI i hope u (and dimitri hehe) are doing well :] !!! wah thank u for the question, u havent asked it before dw !!! 

OKAY SO admittedly I mostly only know the story through reading Guz’s wiki page a few times (teehee) and through osmosis from the general fandom dsgjkl, i want to play the game one day and maybe read the manga, and I’ve watched the anime eps he’s featured in and that’s all i’m watching of that LOL. I haven’t actually experienced much of his story (or su/mo in general) first-hand myself though fdsjkl

answer below the cut because.... the rambler's curse got me LOL

after the events of su/mo, I don’t think he’d actually disband Team Skull because… what is the point of that honestly LOL, so Team Skull stays together in MY version of the world hehe. they’re required to do community service to make up for whatever shenanigans they get up to, but they stop stealing pokemon and move onto just like… graffiti and casual pranks and stuff. they still cause trouble, but it’s mostly mischief now rather than any actual crime. I set them up to work on murals for shop owners around the islands so they can spraypaint and be artistic that way rather than randomly tagging walls and getting into trouble for it fjdskl. they keep their disdain for authority figures and rules because at the end of the day most of them are rowdy teens who feel outcasted from society, and that’s just the way the ball rolls with them (also a certain level of that is healthy and warranted tbh). I work with Plumeria to organize events and outings (outside of community service) for the squad though, which helps give everyone healthier outlets for their energy and focus.

Hala mentors Guz to help put him onto (and keep him on) the right track, and Guz learns to appreciate the islands and their traditions a bit - even if he still doesn’t agree with all of them. Part of that mentorship is also sort of therapy (in a more holistic naturally-occurring way rather than like... clinical therapist sitting with patient), so trauma gets unpacked and healthier ways of handling emotions are learned and implemented. Also fuck the Aether Foundation HFDSJKL I keep Guz far away from Lusamine and make sure she never gets close to him again (idk what Gladion and Lillie get up to, I haven’t thought enough about them yet fsjkl). There’s a lot of healing and self-improvement and learning how to Be A PersonTM for both of us tbh!

Beyond that, it is mostly just regular Alola/island living!! Beach visits, walking around, getting ice cream and popsicles, casual battles with tourists, catching wimpods, all that sort of thing :] Also we visit Sinnoh (my home region) for half the year (i have… a whole schedule worked out for that actually LOL) so there’s that, too.

as for the plushie omg thank u sm WAUGH :D i cannot tell if it’s just because i have a weird hodge-podge skillset but i DO think it is not actually all that difficult !!! you just need a pattern for cutting the felt and then I learned the ladder stitch for hand-sewing, and it’s been very straightforward on how to sew the pieces together!! the hardest part so far has just been the hair because I have a difficult time translating 2D images to 3D reality in that way.

I just really want to encourage ppl to try their hand at new crafts and creative skills because I think it’s really fun and honestly really good for ppls well-being!! i am very passionate about making creativity accessible to people as much as possible!!! maybe i could make a tutorial or smth… the pattern I'm using is free and available on the creator’s website, and it’s genuinely not that difficult esp compared to some other things i’ve tried my hand at in the past LOL I feel like some of my paper mache projects have been more complex than this lil goober!!

THANK YOU AGAIN, AND SORRY ABOUT BECOMING THE RAMBLING RAMBLER LMAO i actually entirely rewrote this once because I wanted to shorten it and it STILL ended up this long 😭

:3 what do all the little nicknames for the duos mean? like as in what inspired them, theyre all really cute

AWE!!!!! OK OK thank u sm for asking the explanations r under the read more :]]

several r simply based on color schemes along w something that resembles imo that color scheme while also making me think of duo in questions friendship!!! those being:

“gingerbread” comes from scoobys brown fur n daphnes ginger hair while also to me emanating this warm comforting homeliness where i was especially thinking of all the instances where daph knows exactly what to do to comfort scoob waugh

“citrus” comes from ofc velma being orange + shaggy being green (like a lime!!!) while having that food connection for shaggy. citrus fruits always remind me of summer, which in turn reminds me of scooby doo as a franchise bc its always the time they do rerun marathons on tv….

“breezy” comes from blue n green both being cool colors i associate with spring specially a characteristic mild spring breeze n ofc things fly in the breeze like how shaggy often flies into freds arms at any hint of danger. HONESTLY i think my logic for yhis one might be a bit harder to follow but trust me

“sunset” ORANGE N PURPLE BABEY!!! sunset is a time where opposites meet and while i dont personally view them as such velma + daphne are certainly often characterized or deemed by others as that. sunset blends day n night together, reminding us that often those that appear to be opposites will have more in common + be closer to each other than it first seems. u know

“horizon” maintaining the velma sun imagery sure sure and fred as the boundless sky but the horizon is something constant right? throughout the day it keeps everything on track by having the sun + sky work together

OK now for the others:

“grover” JUST THE TWO OF US 😭😭😭 in everything scooby + shaggy are ALWAYS together sometimes the others arent there, but they r ALWAYS by each others side. theyre the absolute best of friends man 😭😭😭 we can make it it we try 😭😭

“chosen” LIVED IN A WORLD WHERE THAT SDMI PLOTLINE DIDNT EXIST WHEN I CAME UP WITH THIS ONE ☹️☹️☹️ but ANYWAY its a ref to how in scooby goes hollywood theres the “backstory” scene where they go to the pet store + they meet scooby as a puppy for the first time n its VELMA who lifts him out of his lil box + says “i think hes wonderful” she chooses him and ive always loved that SO much like its always stuck w me even if its not the origin story i personally subscribe to its such an important scene to me…..

“six degrees” six degrees of separation babey!!!! between fred + scooby one thing they have in common is ofc their voice actor mr frank welker whos been voicing fred since the start n scooby since whats new….was especially thinking abt the scene in wheres my mummy where fred is imitating scooby LMFAO

“tredecim” latin for thirteen u already KNOW thirteen ghosts augh its such a Show n i love how shaggy + daphs dynamic obvs gets to receive more focus separate from the dynamic of usually the whole gang

“shining armour” sir daphne youre MY knight in shining armour!!! while ik that line had shippy intentions i can still apply it to their friendship as a whole i think <3 as a treat <3

HI MISS MHIE IM OFFERING U A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS FOR THAT WANDERER DRABBLE I LUV LUV IT SM ITS SO ADORABLE, CUTE AND SOFT AND SWEET AND EVERYTHING NICE, THANK U FOR WRITING & POSTING THAT

WAUGH THANK U SO MUCH??? Mwah mwah thank u for dropping this sweet ask aaaa made my day

[soaptaculart]

HIII hi hlloooo i love ur ideas for aa7... do you have any ideas of what the plot/cases that would make up the game would be yet? im so curious, i love constanze and klaus already

WAUGH THANK YOU SM!!!! It makes me so happy that people like our silly little idea ;;w;;

I've got a couple questions like this, the plot is much more of a question mark than the character arcs etc at the moment lol but a brief little synopsis of what we have atm! Under a cut because even if it's brief it's. Still long hrhgsdjf

- Case 1: Athena defends Phoenix in a very lighthearted wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time situation he ended up in. Our excuse for the compulsory "attorney has no idea what they're doing in the first case" is just that she's nervous as hell about defending her boss bc it feels like a performance review except if she doesn't pass he goes to prison, so her mind keeps blanking lol

- Case 2: Introduces Klaus, Constanze and Franziska. Set in an art gallery, which Klaus is understandably excited to visit after he joins the party at the start of the case. The case revolves around a victim who was inexplicably seen alive by several witnesses after they were supposed to have died - just the kind of nonsense Constanze struggles to deal with, but Athena thrives on. This case also introduces a forensic scientist character, senior to Ema, who will be recurring throughout the game

- Case 3: Set on a train because I cannot BELIEVE we haven't had an AA murder on a train yet. Blackquill was a passenger on it at the time and hangs around for the investigation in a Klavier-in-AA5-esque way. Klaus is really rude to him bc he thinks he's being mean to Athena and Blackquill is uncharacteristically thrown off by this, which Athena finds hilarious. A twist halfway through reveals that the train was at a different point when the murder occurred than was initially thought, necessitating a new station being opened on the second investigation day. Athena and Constanze have a heart to heart at the end of it as Constanze is getting very frustrated that she keeps losing, but they come out of it understanding each other better

- Case 4: We haven't found a setting we're satisfied with for this one yet, but this is where shit starts getting real. The case seems simple initially, but it becomes apparent that there are connections to a case Franziska worked on 9 years ago - the GS-4 incident (lmao). During this case, the then 10 and 7 year old Constanze and Klaus were kidnapped to blackmail Franziska into releasing her suspect. She was able to find and rescue them, but while she was doing so, her suspect was murdered, and even though a combination of some evidence young Connie smuggled from the scene and drawings Klaus did of what he remembered allowed their kidnapper to be caught, he also died mysteriously shortly afterwards, and the culprit behind both murders was never found. Over the course of the present day trial, suspicion falls on the forensic scientist for fabricating evidence, but when they go to visit him during the second investigation day, he is found dead, and the case ends on a cliffhanger

- Case 5: A continuation of case 4, now with the death of the scientist being investigated simultaneously as he was believed to be an accomplice to it all. Apollo also comes back to visit and have a nice talk with Athena about how much she's grown already. But as the trial is about to start again, Klaus is kidnapped Again to pressure Athena and Constanze to secure a guilty verdict for Athena's client. The result is a desperate courtroom scramble where Athena (with Apollo bench buddying for moral support) and Constanze have to stall for time by any means necessary, which even the defendant gets in on, while an intermission takes place with Phoenix, Trucy and Franziska searching for Klaus. They find him and bring him home, armed with a drawing he made which contains a clue that will lead them to the real mastermind behind everything, stretching from 9 years ago to the present, with a trail of deceased accomplices behind them... we'll have to keep that last twist a secret though, lol

But at the end of it all, Constanze has found a new sense of freedom and belief in her own unique strengths and is ready to truly consider her own path and what she wants for herself, Klaus is allowed to stay at the WAA permanently and has his family's blessings to be an artist, Franziska can put to rest an old case that has followed her for all this time, and Athena is just feeling generally on top of the world. Good for her

There's also Two DLC cases, one starring Phoenix as an OG trilogy gang reunion case in Kurain village with Franziska prosecuting, which ends up in a crazy double-victim situation with Maya channelling one and Pearl channelling the other on the stand. The other is starring Apollo as an AJ gang reunion (so yes - Klavier prosecuting, finally, and Trucy and Apollo being investigation partners again at Last). That one takes place at a drag race, the car kind not the R*P**l kind, just because we thought that would be fun lol. I swear when capcom learns that the right way to use DLC cases is pure fanservice with reappearances from beloved characters who it was difficult to fit into the main game >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

EDIT: More details on the overarching plot, big bad and case 4 + 5 here!
