#about: anabel

[chaserainbows]

also since you guys already know i'm messing with the bulbapedia format here's what anabel's double battle partner team would look like in the hypothetical romhack

she's not using her full team because ingame steven only uses 3 as well and there's ENOUGH people using salamence in hoenn you can also see that she's putting some effort into being a team player

Scribbled somehting together of... The sillies

This comic a mess, but I had the idea and I had to draw something before I lost motivation-

Emmet + Interpol + AZ ???

yes PLEASE 😭��🏾

basically, the jist of this idea is- like.

You that shitpost of Emmet asking AZ about Ingo?

Make it that, but it's AZ feeling empathy that he can't hide, because he knows what it's like to wander the earth in search of someone you love— and he knows that there's no way Emmet is going to find him, not in 10, 100 or 3000 years...

Heheh

Edit: Since I keep continuing off this premise—

Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

So.. I had a melancholic thought last night and had to doodle it. I got nothing else to add here.

@fallershipping

Tagging you cuz it came to me when we were talking about Looker & Charon lol

[onemoredolia]

So anyway, Professor Sycamore got turned into a ninetales. Looker believes the victims were targeted specifically. It could not possibly be chance that out of the two billion people on the planet, two regional professors were part of the transformation phenomenon.

His assistants keep him too busy to become depressed about his new body like most of the others. They do tease him about it occasionally.

"The odds of two regional professors being victims in this situation are troubling, yet here we are. Augustine Sycamore reported to me everything he could remember about his day, that week, month—he let me read his logs and reports and review his lab’s security. Sadly I have not found a culprit, as there have been no consistent patterns between each victim’s reports. This is Looker, signing off."

[oceandiagonale]

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"

HotTake (My Unresolved/One-Sided Beef with War Storm)

Iris should never had a POV, as cool and mysterious as her introduction was in King's Cage. Her POV negatively affected the overall impact of the plot in War Storm.

Let me explain:

Since she was a new character with unknown goals and motives, she was shrouded in mystery, with some readers even hoping that maybe she would be an unlikely ally. It would have been interesting to figure out who she is.

Instead, her POV was an exposition/info dump about the Lakelands, added too many eyes on the OPPOSING SIDE of the war, and diminished the possible impact and tension of the plot twists that happened in War Strom such as;

Anabel and Julian offer Salin Irial to Iris without ANYONE of the Main Characters knowing directly (Not even Cal, who is heir to the throne and their close family).

Iris BETRAYING the Great Betrayer Maven. The moment I read her thoughts about Maven, where he is constantly undermining and dismissing her. I knew Iris was gonna betray her husband.

Volo's Death at the hands of Anabel and Julian. The fact that only Evangeline picked up on her father being offered to the Cygnets when Julian and Anabel gave Salin in exchange for Maven was heartbreaking and conflicting, but it would have been so much more dramatic if we didn't see it from a mile away.

Adding Iris' POV also took away space for more Cal and Maven POVs which are the characters that the fandom was excited to read when Aveyard informed which characters will be having their POVs in War Storm.

Overall, Iris had one of the coolest character introductions in the RQ series, but it went tank when her POVs gave away too much too soon, and for me, the story suffered because of it.

[coiledqueen]

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.

[chaserainbows]

on that note if i had to make anabel a monotype trainer let's seeeeeeeee

she's a psychic specialist in the anime but anime anabel is not real and she cannot hurt me

her signature pokemon is snorlax which is a normal type so a case could be made for her as a mononormal trainer especially since the theme of her battle facility is no frills no gimmicks just pure skill

the two types that she repeats the most are psychic and dragon and while psychic is a bit cringe because of the anime it does fit her as a more Cerebral character in the same vein as lucian and dragon also fits her as someone who's very focused on strength and intense battles

both of those types are also associated with outer space which fits her as the poster child for fallers so there's that

[wow-an-unfunny-joke]

Okay so I've actually started writing the daycare au where the season 1 archive staff work a daycare and all the fear avatars (Peter, the Michaels, Jarod, Jane, etc) are all kids (I might make Micheal Shelley a teen or smth- I haven't decided yet.) From this post

But it's occurred to me that I have no idea how to write kids.

[fallershipping]

I'm not sure I'll do it now, but in case you were wondering, the mini comic was a "what if" Emmet did find out what Looker and Anabel were.

And to be fair it's just more of him asking questions that wouldn't lead to favorable answers. How long have they been here? Over a decade. Have they recovered any memories? Far too slow to notice any progress. Has anyone from their original homes even found them? Well... No.

And most importantly he poses the question to Anabel "But why would not know what would happen if they DID come find you now? Don't you want to go back to where you came from? Wouldn't they miss you and want you back?"

And she just responds "Well... There is a life here I made... And there are people here I don't want to leave behind..."

And Looker, who'd been quietly just listening to the convo, perks up at that.

He feels the same. But could she possibly be mentioning.......?

🙌✏️💎 for Alethia ! :3

TY FOR THE ASKS!! SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER LOL ʕ⁠っ⁠•⁠ᴥ⁠•⁠ʔ⁠っ

🙌 How many siblings does your OC have?

Alethia has 4 sisters! Going from oldest to youngest: Anitra(30), Asta(28), Angelica(27), and Anabelle(19)! Lots of A’s, haha. Anitra is travelling Galen as a dragonknight, Asta is helping their father in Lillandril, Angelica is wandering Rivenspire as an alchemist/translator for the mages guild and working with House Ravenwatch while Alethia is away, and Anabelle is still at home in Solitude helping her Mother at the temple of Mara. Anitra isn't very talkative, and is sort of like her mother except even more protective. She helps Alethia out in combat training a lot. Asta babies Alethia a lot because of her health, and often takes care of her funds lol, bc girly buys way too many things AND properties lmao. Angelica likes hanging out and teaching Alethia new languages. Anabelle enjoys sparring with Alethia, but dreads going over Mara’s scriptures lol.

✏️ How often do you draw/write about your OC?

Hehe, quite a bit! I love drawing and talking about Alethia! She's in my mind often ����

💎Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

This is such an interesting question, because I head-canon that the vestige can't really die. I actually don't think she's going to hide her immortality. She's a helpful person, and will do anything in her power to aid others. So, maybe she'll stick around the temple of Mara and take over her Mother’s position as head priestess and continue to study restoration!

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!
