been re-reading the whole series once again and i noticed in the comic where gene is talking to lusamine does... does she ever figure out her husband has been living on the Bean Minigame Island this whole time? does GENE know that??? we never get a resolution to this plot point in-game! (i know it's pretty inconsequential to the plot rn but it's just fun to think about)

OH MY GOD I NEVER POSTED THAT HERE, ONLY ON TWITTER. LIKE FOREVER AGO.

no, gene never told lusamine about mohn -- ingo is the first faller he's ever told their backstory!! 😳

BUT tbf there's that one cutscene at the end of the game where Mohn shows up at the aether foundation and lusamine + gladion decide to let him go without telling him he's their family, so it takes the dilemma out of gene's hands a bit FKJSDJKF

(text + images from the post so people don't have to go to twitter; post is from november 18 2020):

"okay so like... I legitimately don’t know whether my oc should tell lusamine that mohn’s just... chilling on an island or let her find out the same way as the USUMO postgame scene. It’s one thing to have no control over it in the game, but in my own drawings I have a choice...

seriously is it even right to have generic /tell/ mohn "hey I have information about your past. would you like to know it or live in ignorant bliss? is this why the player character in gen 7 doesn’t have the option to tell her either skjdhfskdjhf"

I think it's funny how I see a lot of people associating Looker as a "you are my dad! boogie woogie" type of character. Like he's beloved for serving a sort of paternal figure, like he's not the kind of guy that gets thirst traps made of on the frequent and how sexy he is compared to Volo or Steven. The man is adopted platonically amongst people.

I have drawn Looker in such ways from day 1 that it was never platonic to begin with

anabel.

"...How long d'you think you can do this Frontier stuff?" Lucy asks, rare wistfulness seeping into her tone as she turns towards her lilac-haired confidant with a curious half-smile. Anabel returns the question with a thoughtful hum, her fingers drumming over the polished oak of the casino bar.

(It's rare for the dutiful Salon Maiden to be out so late, but sometimes--with just enough wheedling--Lucy can convince Anabel to come out for drinks, and the deep, late-night conversations that often accompanied them.)

"...Personally, I could keep this up for a while," Lucy answers herself after a beat of silence, a mischievous grin on her lips as she leans towards her friend for a teasing peck on the cheek. "So quiet. You're not thinking of leaving me, are you...?"

"'Course not. You stop that--" comes Anabel's quick answer, the pragmatic Brain deftly dodging Lucy's kiss with ease before sighing into her drink. "I just...it doesn't hurt to think ahead, you know? We can't keep doing this forever, and when it's done--I think I want to help people. Somehow. Haven't given it much thought, because someone keeps trying to invite me out for parties..."

Lucy laughs at that, and the sound echoes around the bar. "Guilty..." she says with a coy smirk, raising her hands and backing away slightly. "...You're right. Yeah, doesn't hurt to think ahead--but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the time we have now, right?"

There's another pause, Anabel smiles, and--before Lucy can register a reaction--she leans over to steal her own quick kiss. Damn. The Pike Queen's been bested again...

"No...I suppose it doesn't," the Salon Maiden murmurs as the tension simmers pleasantly, her hair lazily spilling over Lucy's shoulder. "One more drink, and then you want to get out of here? We could always call Noland to come pick us up..."

It was the last night they'd share together before Anabel's disappearance.

The master of Hoenn's Battle Tower disappeared under fantastical circumstances, only to reappear a world away with no memories of her past life. No memories of Lucy, no memories of the Frontier, no anything...and as a member of the International Police, perhaps--in a bizarre, cruel way--Anabel had achieved her wistful goal of helping more people. The world continued to turn.

But, for the members of Hoenn's Frontier, the family that still clung to their Salon Maiden, Anabel's amnesia-induced fate was torture. Upon racing to reunite with her after that reappearance in Alola, all of them were met with a well-meaning (but quizzically blank) look. They were all too late, or was this a doomed outcome from the start?

The Anabel they knew was no more, and nobody outside their circle seemed to care. After sleepless nights spent tossing and turning and screaming into her pillow, Lucy resolved to lock away those memories--that bitterness--deep with the recesses of her freshly-hardened heart. And as the Brains continued to mourn in silence, continued to get stonewalled by Anabel's 'rescuers,' the animosity she felt towards law enforcement only grew within her soul.

---

Tonight, she's at the casino bar again--its lonely reigning Queen. It's been years (no, eternities) since that fateful evening. Lucy takes up her usual perch at the end of the bar, and two shots are wordlessly slid her way. This somber occasion is already known.

Anabel's voice echoes in her head. Damn her, over there in Alola without a thought of the lives she's left behind, while Lucy's forced to cling to this solemn little ritual.

We can't keep doing this forever...

With a sniff, Lucy downs her shot with a practiced wince. And then, as always, she raises Anabel's shot skyward--a toast to a memory--before downing that, too.

I miss you. So much.

📩 Random simblr CAS prompt of the day: Pick your favorite sim couple (if you don’t have a couple, your favorite sim is fine) what would they wear for a date?

(AHH I FEEL SO INCLUDED!) Um, so my favorite couple are these two, Jasper and Anabelle mostly just because they were the first OCs that I officially made for the story I'm working on now (and its dear to me). They both like to dress pretty casually, and lots of dark colors! This is probably something they'd wear to go watch a movie together!~

Favorite art medium and why?? Go!

OOH good question!! Um I’m not sure if i have a favorite medium overall, but currently I’m really partial to ink pens/inks/watercolors (no shush it’s not multiple mediums if you group them together in a category!!!)

I like how natural and soft they can look, and sketching with an ink pen is stupid fun. My mom gave me a glass pen that she didn’t use last year and I have been GLUED to it, I like how it forces you to commit to something and you have to work with your mistakes.

Watercolors are very lovely for coloring ink sketches, especially since the ink I use is VERY water soluble, so you have to choose shades that would go well with the ink when (and it is when and not if) the blue/red/black starts bleeding into it.

(It’s very ironic that I’m answering this ask right now, as I just sat down to watercolor and immediately lost my beautiful beautiful long-suffering watercolor palette 😭 shock! Horror!)

Anyways thanks for sending in an ask!!! I love asks so much you have no idea :D as a treat you get an entire sketchbook page of ink/watercolor!

May has an older brother that currently works in Oblivia as a Pokémon Ranger and a younger brother that stayed in Littleroot as one of Professor Birch's assistants. Her family's very successful.

Aaron and Anabel are only children. Well, in Anabel's case it's more that even if she did have any siblings in her original life she wouldn't remember them now, but she does seem to assume that she was an only child.

Sidney doesn't have any biological siblings, but he does have an adoptive brother named Yuri. Incidentally, Mindy also has a younger brother named Yuri that she hasn't seen in years. It's a surprisingly common name.

INTERESTING THING LOOKER SAID TO ANABEL IN THE FRENCH VERSION OF POKEMON SUN AND MOON.

bonus: (anabel speaking to looker)

god i love this reading i hope this is the correct translation

[waywardstation]

Are you as disappointed as I am that there was no DLC announced during the Pokémon Presents for Arceus? Like, I really want to play as Emmet going to the farthest lengths possible to find his brother. It could have been Arceus needing some other part of the world saved at some other time and he made a deal with Emmet that if he did what it needed, then it would guide him back to his brother. Why won't GameFreak let us have nice things? Let Emmet save Unova or something, be in the past,, present or future, and then let him have Ingo back. It would have been amazing...

Yes and no; I’ve been super disappointed that we never really got anything else narratively for PLA, but I wasn’t expecting DLC for it in the latest Pokémon presents.

I would really like to make sure Ingo gets back home somehow; if not in PLA, in a future title (like possibly BW remakes)!! And while the games generally have us play a hollow MC for us to fill out ourselves instead of in-universe characters anymore, it would be fun to have a narrative working alongside Emmet and helping him!!
