The experience of a lone Gyroid fragment as it travels the currents and makes its way home.

— — — — — — — — — —

My love letter to Animal Crossing and the humble Gyroid.

AC's been a big part of my life since I was just a kid, and it's a series that's especially important to my mom, so this was also a gift to her. <3

The way the Gyroid system functions in New Horizons is something I find very charming and Ghibli-esque, so I wanted to explore that.

If you take the time to read this little piece that made me so happy to write, I sincerely thank you. ^^

I get the hesitancy to claim a label when you're not completely sure of it yourself. This is especially prevalent in the aro and ace communities because how do you prove a negative? Maybe you will meet someone in twenty years and feel that proverbial spark. But here's the truth: it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if it's a phase!! You are living in this body, in this moment, in this label right now. Who you are now matters just as much as who you might be.

I AM ABOUT TO BE SO ANNOYING

[airbendertendou]

JUST TO KISS ME! ♥︎

synopsis : various asexual!characters w asexual!reader ; non-sexual intimacy characters include : sanzu, belphie, kokonoi, and solomon.

warnings : [name] used in place of y/n or mc ; laying on sanzu in his, if that makes you uncomf you can skip ; solomon puts his hand on your throat w no ill intentions ; sexual jokes ; asexuality does not always mean sex-repulsed

song inspo ; we’ll never have sex by leith ross

if you have a blank blog [no bio, no user, no header or profile pic, nothing reblogged, etc] do not interact with my content. you will be blocked.

— SANZU! ♥︎

the air is misty as you leave the shower, steam fogged up the mirrors around you, clinging to each and every surface it could. with a frown, you realize you’d left your favorite lotion in your bedroom. clad in only comfy shorts, you make your way there.

sanzu is dozing on your bed, his bare back greeting you as he lays on his stomach. a pile of bloodied clothes sit near the closet — the same suit he’d been wearing that morning. with a thought, you forgo the lotion and make your way to him.

settling down on top of him gently, you hum in delight as your skin touches his. sanzu lets out a grunt only to relax a second later, welcoming your added weight happily.

— BELPHEGOR! ♥︎

sleepy, dream-filled eyes look around until they see you. you’re sitting on the counter as satan cooks, muttering about a book you’d just read. beelzebub is peeking over the blonde’s shoulder, eyes hungry and ravenous as he watches his brother make dinner.

“mornin’, kid! sleep well?” it’s mammon who spots him first. belphie only hums, feet tapping his way to you. he wraps his arms around your hips, nose nuzzling into your sternum as he yawns. mammon lets out a snort, “like we’re not even here…”

“wanted somethin’ sweet,” he’s teetering on the cusp of sleeping again, ignoring the howls and jokes his brothers make. he hears something about you being the sweetest thing in the house — not that he disagrees on that part. with a kiss to your neck, belphie is snoring once more as you run your fingers through his hair.

— KOKONOI! ♥︎

he was meant to be helping you pick out clothes. it was your date night — a weekly, mandatory thing he tried his best not to miss. but, kokonoi looked so pretty as he juggled between two shirts — two of his favorites that he loved to see on you. so, really, it wasn’t your fault.

“baby, how do you like—“ a yelp leaves his mouth the next second. you’d tugged him down gently by his shirt collar, a devilish grin on your lips that melts against his own. pants echo in your mouth ; his tongue sweeping against yours briefly before he pulls away. koko speaks through giggles, “wait… wait a minute. let me set these down.”

his cheeks are flushed as he puts your clothes back in the closet. you’re still eyeing him heavily, sweeping up every inch of him. kokonoi clears his throat before sitting beside you this time. that’s all you need before you’re diving in greedily once more.

— SOLOMON! ♥︎

asmodeous had a problem. many problems, really, but a certain one that irritated everyone else as well. he never knocked. true to his form, asmo welcomes himself into your room, a frown on glossed lips as he holds two sheet masks. “doll, do you think— didn’t know you guys were into that.”

solomon can’t help his grin, even as he rolls his eyes. a spell you’d been trying earlier almost backfired — could’ve backfired if he didn’t help in time. as a result, your vocal chords had been hit. his hand was around your throat, checking your lymph nodes and making sure everything was okay — that’s all.

you pull your chin down and away from solomon’s hand, your own cheshire grin forming at the comment. catching sight of the masks in asmo’s hands, you speak up. “we’ll invite you next time. go with the green one — it’s good for hydration.”

——♥︎——

made this a personal challenge to only have 3 paragraphs idk how to feel abt them hehe but <3 hope they’re okay

Self-addressing of minor male characters in Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Saiban) / Personal pronouns

We've talked about the main male and female characters, but we shouldn't forget about the minor male characters who accompany us throughout at least each part of the Ace Attorney (GKS) series

The first man who accompanies us throughout the first trilogy is Itonokogiri Keisuke (Richard/Dick Gumshoe)

And here's an interesting point. His pronoun is "jibun" (自分)

自分は、刑事課の イトノコギリという者ッス。

Jibun wa, keiji ka no Itonokogiri to iu mono ~tssu.

I'm from the Criminal Affairs Division. My name is Itonokogiri.

This is a rather rarely used pronoun; it literally translates as "self", although it has the meaning "I/me".

Jibun is used by about only 14% of men and 1% of women. This fact makes the pronoun gender-neutral, but predominantly masculine.

Compared to other first-person pronouns, the nuance of 自分 is introspective, and it's often associated with the military or athletic community, which have strong hierarchies. This suits Itonoko's personality very well, considering that he is a subordinate of the prosecutor and rarely thinks for himself.

Also, "jibun" can be an indicator of the Kansai dialect (Osaka), where it is used to denote both the first and second person. But, since Itonoko's speech was not noted to have any dialect (there are other features), and he was born and raised in the same city (and the city is from the Kanto region), this option is out of the question.

Interestingly, even after Itonoko realized that detectives should do their own investigations rather than rely on directions from prosecutors, and began making decisions on his own, his self-address did not change. Probably a matter of habit.

自分は、何をしたらいいッスか････

Jibun wa, nani o shitara Ī ~tsuu ka...

What should I do...

___________________________________________

Next is our dear friend's father, Mitsurugi Shin (Gregory Edgeworth)

His speech is very formal (like his son's), and he uses the formal personal pronoun "watashi" written in kanji.

私は弁護士の御剣信と申します。

Watashi wa bengoshi no Mitsurugi Shin to mōshi masu.

My name is Shin Mitsurugi, a lawyer.

___________________________________________

Let's not forget about Mitsurugi assistant - Shigaraki Tateyuki (Eddie Fender, almost wrote Raymond Shields)

Most of his dialogues take place with Mitsurugi and young Yatagarasu, and he stubbornly continues to call himself "uncle". (オジサン - ojisan)

オジサン、アトでここの館長に 文句言っとくから。寒すぎだって。

Ojisan, ato de koko no kanchō ni monku I~tsu toku kara. Samu sugi datte .

Uncle going to complain to the director of this place later. It's too cold.

It was not easy to catch his personal self-addressing with other people, but not impossible.

In dialogues with others, Shigaraki-san uses the polite male pronoun "boku" (like Naruhodō/Wright)

ぼく、その････! がんばって助けますからッ!

Boku, sono! Ganbatte tasuke masu kara ~Tsu !

I, well...! I'll do my best to help you!

___________________________________________

Let's not forget about our permanent presiding judge (here is someone who, with rare exceptions, is always with us)

ええ!わ、私がです��?

ē! Wa, watashi gadesu ka?

What? Me?

___________________________________________

The new generation is first represented by rock star and hard-working prosecutor - Garyu Kyoya (Klavier Gavin)

Despite his prominent image as a musician and rock star, Kyouya uses the polite masculine pronoun "boku" (the same one used by Naruhodō/Wright).

ぼくも楽しみにしているんだ。

boku mo tanoshimini shite iru nda.

I'm looking forward to it too.

His speech is generally polite, and in the original he uses various English phrases in his speech, written either in Latin or Katakana. These phrases, by the way, are often used at concerts of musical groups whose first language is not English. (In the localization, as you know, German was used as a substitute).

オーケイ、ベイビー!

ōkei, beibī!

Okay, baby!

___________________________________________

Mr. Garyu Kirihito (Kristoph Gavin) uses the personal pronoun "watashi", which is written in kanji, indicating formal speech and an adult character.

___________________________________________

The second prosecutor from the new generation is a master of psychological manipulation, Yugami Jin (Simon Blackquill)

To be honest, his image as a samurai somewhat clouded my eyes, and I expected some self-addresses inherent in this category (for example, "yo")

But no, Yugami-kun uses the crude male pronoun "ore" (like Odoroki/Apollo)

それと��俺は検事ってェ立場上、 おめえさんに手は貸さねェからな。

soreto, ore wa kenji tte ~e tachiba-jō, o-me e-san ni te wa kasa nēkara na.

Also, because I'm a prosecutor, I won't help you.

We don't know when he started using this designation (there are no monologues from him before his arrest), but judging by his characterization from other characters, he behaved very noble and politely, so perhaps he could change the personal pronoun to a more rude one to maintain the image of a "cruel criminal".

His manner of speech is, in principle, extremely interesting, and, I think, worthy of a separate post. In short - he speaks in a dialect + uses obsolete words + he has a special way of addressing other characters

___________________________________________

The third prosecutor from the new generation, who is also a monk from the kingdom of Khurain - Sahdmadhi Nahyuta (his name was not localized, thank you)

But this young man has an extremely interesting way of addressing himself.

"Sesso" (拙僧) literally means "inept monk".

This is a VERY modest form of address that was used by Buddhist monks.

拙僧がこの事件の担当に ふさわしくないと････?

sessō ga kono jiken no tantō ni fusawashikunai to?

Are you saying I'm not fit to take charge of this case...?

But, this is very different from his speech. Canonically, he is a foreigner, so he does not know all the features of the language in which the hearings are held. Therefore, Nahyuta uses, either unknowingly or intentionally, quite rude vocabulary and manner of speech (at the first hearing with him as a prosecutor, the judge, Odoroki and Kizuki were shocked). Even a native speaker, whose walkthrough I watched, was surprised and commented on this moment.

___________________________________________

Well, that's probably it for now on the topic of personal pronouns, but if you're interested in someone specific that I haven't mentioned, give me a sign.

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

You know when i see the Study Ac with Baji and Chifuyu and the teacher who was eager to see Baji fail (what a teacher by the way...)

I can just imagine Inupi and Koko with Koko hearing teachers speaking bad about his (-boy) bestfriend and being like "fuck off i make him in the top 3" and Inupi not doing his best at school but when he want it, he has super good results.

Meanwhile Koko is looking at the teacher with a smug smile.

This is even funnier when thinking that they might have not gone to the same school later on too. Like Inui just randomly sitting in on Koko's classes with him or Koko going along to Inui's school to make sure he actually pays attention.

[atticoratticus]

I'm going to talk about some sexuality headcanons for canon Tokyo Revengers characters based on vibes alone, because why not

i dontttt really care how unlikely it is for most of them to be queer, this is just for fun yk

obligatory disclaimer that if your hcs differ from mine thats cool, I'm not trying to force my opinion on anyone or smth like that !! Ran (in my opinion) gives off the vibes of a homoromantic bisexual (im most attached to this hc for various reasons)

Mitsuya gives me MAJOR Pansexual vibes

Draken gives me the vibes of a bisexual with female pref

Rindou gives me pan vibes through and through

Takemichi, Peh, and Pah are all straight tbh. Like yeah Peh and Pah have some moments, but they always just gave me the vibes of straight dudes just being affectionate with eachother

Mikey is an aroace icon (I love INTPs that are ace because same)

Sanzu is GAY. Gay as hell.

Kisaki is straight though I feel like at one point he might've been questioning it.

Hanma is some sort of fruity, not sure on an exacttt label though

Chifuyu is bi methinks

Kazutora is bi with a heavy female pref

Baji is gay tbh

Wakasa is bi but with a male pref

WHEW starting to sound like a broken record, theyre all bi

Shinichiro is either straight or bi with a female pref

Inupi and Koko are dating, idk

uhhhh these are the ones im most happy with, i might add other characters onto this list later !

[katsune-nya]

Tokyo Revengers Romantic and Sexual Orientation Headcanons.

Part 2.

Contains: Michi, Mikey, Draken, Baji, Tora, Fuyu, Taka, Hakkai, Pah and Peh, Hina Emma, Yuzuha, Senju, Sanzu, Ran Rindo, Koko, Inui, South, Taiju, Shin, Benkei, Waka and Omi.

Takemichi:

He's so Straight it's actually sad, like i've never seen a straighter man. He actually doesn't have too much of a sexual attraction, but he's not in the ace spectrum either.

Edit: I change my mind, he's a bi king.

Mikey:

AroAce. He's in the spectrum and honestly doesn't really see the charm on relationships, he would get in one with the right person but doesn't look for it AT ALL. (He's the biggest simp when he falls tho).

Draken:

Straight Ally. The kinda ally that literally doesn't give a fuck. Would kiss a dude, doesn't care. He grew up in a fucking brothel, literally nothing about sex makes him raise a brow.

Edit: Remembered this.

That's such a weird thing for a straight guy to say, man. WHAT DID YOU MEAN??!!?!? Do you like Emma 'cause she kinda looks like Mikey?

Keisuke:

AROACE AROACE AROACE AROACE. He's so in the AroAce Spec it's not even a secret. Experimented with boys and girls, just doesn't really do much to him. Doesn't look for a relationship but if it happens he'll be surprised. No gender or sex prefference.

Kazutora:

Actually, i think he's Bi. The Homophobic Gay kind. He was so in denial until he was an adult and came out to Chifuyu and Kei in such a nonchallant way in the middle of a random convo at breakfast.

Right. In front. Of their salads.

Chifuyu:

Either the Straightest one can be or Pan. He's a romantic but doesn't get in a relationship easily, has literally zero experience but when imagining kissing in the rain suddently he realised the gender of the other person was changing??? The first person he came out to was Peke J and then Keisuke who gave him a thumbs up and kept walking like nothing.

Takashi:

I'm so sorry to the fangirls but this man came personally to me and told me he's a Fully Fledged Homosexual. He's so gay, oh my fucking God. Gay gay gay gay gay homo gay.

He has so much experience too and loves girls (could be bi) but men are just *chefs kiss*.

Gay and pissed about it but 'cause he's a Misandristic Man.

Edit: I realised I was wrong, he's actually the only straight character in this whole manga, he's just unrealistically perfect and that made me not see that he is a cishet.

Hakkai:

He's so fucking Bi for fucks sake. He realised he liked boys before he liked girls and he felt SO guilty about it. He literally doesn't know what the fuck he feels for Takashi. Is it Platonic or Romantic Love? He decided it didn't matter 'cause he just loves him and that's enough.

Pah and Peh:

Both Straight but both experimented with different kinds of people. They genuinly don't care and will be your biggest suporters whatever you are. Literal definition of Love Is Love. Will beat up a Bigot for you and enjoy it.

Hina:

Bi Bi Bi (actually Pan). She had only one or two crushes in girls but she fell in love with Michi at such a young age she never really cared. She has fucking queer merch but the aesthetic ones. She is the violent gay, Be Gay, Do Crime.

Emma:

... I wish she was gay... She's so Straight. She found being queer weird at first but only 'cause she never saw it 'round. Once Hina came out to her in a casual "boys" convo she was just like: "Oh... Well, that makes sense." And moved on. Got a cute lil pin with her pronouns and put it on her bag.

Yuzuha:

GAY. She's a Pan queen. She has crushes VERY rarely, like, once every 80 years, but it never matters what gender they are. She has a "Beat a Right Wing" sticker. She is gay with a PURPOSE, the purpose is to make her brother mad. She got over her crush on Michi just to develop one on Hina... Give this girl a break.

Senju:

A romantic. Probably Pan. She falls in love every Tuesday, Waka and Omi have to deal with her talking their ears off about her latest crush "I'm telling you, they're the one!". Probably the most into Non-Binary people, she thinks it's badass and cool.

Haruchiyo:

He HAS to be Gay. Bi at most. He just likes men. He likes men. Have i said he likes men? First crush was OBVIOUSLY Mikey. Whenever he gets drunk he starts saying the gayest shit (specially towards Rindo) and the Haitani brothers just have to listen to him and pray for him to get tired and shut the fuck up. "Listen, if i wasn't into [name] rn, i'd probably fuck you too". Ok, they don't care, go to bed.

Ran:

Pan. A hole is a hole. No but fr. He doesn't care, he literally has no prefference, but actually, 'till he was like 20 he had NO PULL. NOTHING. NADA. Hit him up and he'll fold.

Rindo:

Bi. He likes boys, he likes girls, he has liked the random nonbinary cutie down the street. He just kinda goes with the flow but he has prefferences so he doesn't really call himself pan, he likes men the most, especially if they are smaller than him, he thinks it's cute. Another one with no fucking game, probably kissed Sanzu and regretted it instantly because why Sanzu?!?!?! He was drunk, let him forget it.

Hajime:

... Come on, he HAS to be Pan. He likes pretty people, whatever they are. He likes looking at people as if they were art pieces but he doesn't get crushes. Once he falls in love, it's for LIFE.

Seishu:

Probably Bi or the best Straight Ally. He likes people rougher than him and people energetic/extroverted/chaotic/talkative. Doesn't really think about his prefference so he doesn't put a label on himself. Whoever he likes, he likes. In the Ace Spectrum.

South:

... Listen. Ok. Listen to me. I swear i have a point just liSTEN TO ME.

...

He's gay. He's fully homosexual. And he has no real prefference about it bUT, he likes femenine men a lot. Or men shorter or skinnier than him. Or... Honestly. He just... Likes men.

Taiju:

Pfffft. He's actually Bi or Pan but so in denial, in the closet, a closet guarded by Cerberus himself and a thousand locks with a pond around it filled with crocodiles. He likes strong people who can tell him to shut the fuck up and encourage him to do better. He dreams of getting married and having a family. Ew.

Shinichiro:

He's Pan. He has an obsession with women but he gets just as down bad with men, or enbys. He likes people smarter than him. He preffers people smaller than him 'cause he gets too flustered with people bigger, but ohohoho, he LOVES heavier people.

Benkei:

I swear i can't decide. It switches every time. I think his sexuality is fluid and he's unlabelled. AroAce Spec tho, doesn't really get crushes.

Wakasa:

AroAce Spec, but he has TOO MUCH GAME. He pulls without trying. He is mostly uninterested in people and relationships. You have to be an EXTRAORDINARY person to catch his attention (I have this headcanon that he's lowkey into Shin but that's for another day). Once he falls, you are not getting rid of him.

Takeomi:

Probably fully Aro. His true love is money. If he got into a relationship it would be a VERY slow and robotic process, until he relaxes and is like... Huh... This is nice. Then a switch flips.

• Will do more in some time about the rest of the characters. I had no more space in the tags lmao.

-I scripted our debut was kind of unknown in korea, but internationally we went popular pretty fast since we were on AGT

-We wore masquerade like masks on AGT

-We are known to have the best visuals and stage presence (bc yeah)

-Our storyline is pretty in depth and interesting. Debating if I want a webcomic or show.

-We produce and write most of our songs, as well as choreograph them. But obvi we have help from the company if needed

-Tbh the discography i created i like but don't like SOOOOO. I need to add Japanese and sub unit comebacks🥲😥😖

-We ALWAYS have really iconic stages

-We have a signature dance move in all of our dances

-We have our own signature ending fairy pose

-We are a group that masters dancing so we have really hard choreographies and when we dance we are on sync. I feel like that's to be expected since we were a dance group before debut SOOO.

-Gonna be real, idk many of the fcs I chose for my members so i apologize. I just went on Pinterest.

old requests from curiouscat (28th june 2024—14th july 2024)

28th June 2024

since Juwon got eliminated, can you another reading on who’s gonna debut for i-land 2?

Jeemin | the tower + 9 of cups

Jungeun | 6 of swords + the devil rx

Jiyoon | the world, 7 of cups

Koko | 9 of pentacles + ace of swords

Saebi | the lovers, judgement

Fuko | 2 of pentacles rx + 7 of pentacles

Sarang | 9 of swords rx + 10 of wands rx

Mai | 5 of swords rx, strength

Yuju | king of wands rx + 10 of swords rx, 5 of pentacles rx

Gyuri | 3 of swords rx + 6 of cups rx

Most to least likely: Jeemin, Jiyoon (possibly rigged), Saebi (possibly rigged, more compared to Jiyoon), Yuju (most likely rigged), Mai (might be mentioned last)

Koko, Jungeun, Gyuri (I don't see them debuting, at least currently)

Fuko, Sarang (will feel overwhelmed of their placements)

As the cards I see are quite confusing, the lineup might be Jeemin, Jiyoon, Saebi, Yuju, Mai and Koko/Jungeun (more likely to me is Koko). My pendulum "confirmed" only 4 members: Jeemin, Jiyoon, Saebi and Yuju. The rest of them, according to it at least, "won't debut".

2nd July 2024

how successful will the iland2 group be once they debut?

queen of swords, 2 of cups, 4 of cups, 5 of pentacles rx, the world • page of cups

Not so much in Korea. IL2GG seem to be more relevant outside of Korea as of now as some netizens might be dissapointed with the final lineup. Therefore, in Korea the girl group will be with indifferent popularity. Fortunately, they won't be with exact the same path like Kep1er because they'll have some fans who will be loyal but won't be enough for W1 to stabilize their local fanbase.

Overall, in Korea they might be with similar popularity as Kep1er. Will have some fans, maybe a bit more but won't gain much afterwards. Outside of Korea will be better, maybe will be compared to ZB1 when it comes to sales and relevance.

I don't feel anything else, to be honest.

4th July 2024

who do you see debuting in i-land 2 and is 6 really the set number of girls or more?

are they 6, last ask: 4 of wands, 3 of pentacles • 4 of swords

yes.

now, about the lineup, for the last time

Jeemin | the empress, the world

Jungeun | the fool, the star rx

Jiyoon | 8 of pentacles, 7 of cups

Koko | judgement, king of pentacles rx

Saebi | the hermit, 2 of swords rx + the hanged man

Fuko | the devil, 3 of cups

Sarang | the star rx, 2 of cups

Mai | page of cups, 2 of wands rx + knight of wands

Yuju | page of swords, 6 of cups + 4 of cups rx

Gyuri | justice rx, the hierophant

most to least likely: jeemin, jiyoon, jungeun (will be sad for someone not debuting with her), mai, fuko (rigged placement), sarang (rigged placement?), yuju (not sure how she'll do, might be in around 6/7 place), saebi (won't be rigged to not debut), koko (rigged placement), gyuri (rigged placement)

there's chance of fuko/sarang not debuting but yuju/gyuri (one of them as well as both, i am not so sure). it feels everything is switching between the 4 of them. the certain might be jeemin, jiyoon, jungeun and mai.

do you think saebi will debut in iland2 ive seen lots of readings but idk if i can believe them and ive seen your readings and they’ve been somewhat accurate

page of swords, 10 of cups, 5 of swords • 8 of cups

i don't see her debuting in il2gg, she might go into another company sooner than we realise, therefore she might not update on social medias after the survival show if she doesn't debut. 5 of swords though might be close placement that's related to the lineup? if all of the girls are debuting towards the last save pick, 7th, if not 4th/5th, something like that. if she debuts in the end, might be 6th or announced last despite her placement, somehow but i pretty much doubt it energy-wise.

overall, i am leaning towards no (the bottom card influence it a bit..) but it's not as certain as it looks like to me

7th July 2024

how will seventeen’s career progress? like when one by one go to military?

2 of pentacles, 10 of pentacles, temperance rx, ace of wands, 3 of pentacles • ace of pentacles

While shuffling, The8 popped up somehow in my mind. He seems to do well while the rest of the members who are obligied to do their military service are serving in the military. Aside from that, SEVENTEEN will jiggle eventually subunit and solo activities around the time you asked, whenever it happens to be. Pledis seem to plan for the time when it happens. I'd say despite the instability that might occur, like usual, to be honest.

9th July 2024

can you do a reading about the future of I’LL-IT?

2 of cups rx, judgement, 2 of pentacles, ace of cups, 9 of wands • ace of swords

not so certain as it feels. as the issues are behind the scenes, when it comes to i'll-it, if i have to compare them to le sserafim, ili girls will try to actually disband. maybe this will turn out in such bittersweet situation.. because they're rookies, ili have the advantage to be bold as they aren't as repressed as other idols. i see wonhee as the most vocal member out of all 5 of them and i won't be suprised if she goes on another hiatus.

how do you see le sserafim now? do you think that in the future they will recover the fame they had at the beginning or do you see them declining? what plans does HYBE have for them?

Group future, re-check?: the star, the magician, 7 of swords rx, the high priestess, the fool • the hermit

their fame will be recovered only outside of southeast asia, i.e. in european, american and australian countries from what i see (not so sure about african countries). since i don't see the relevance in SEA.. i feel it's pretty much damaged.

HYBE's intentions: 9 of cups, the devil rx, the moon, 3 of cups rx, 10 of wands rx • 6 of swords

after the comeback in august, it's just too foggy, the plans for le sserafim might be non-existent. from what i see, the girls don't think it's worth it to be a group and they would prefer to have solo activities instead. the situation surrounding them can simply turn into being similar to blackpink's when it comes to the activities and the releases if le sserafim tell source music about it. i don't believe the girls will want to stay as a group even after the hate stops.

personally, i see hybe might take somehow le sserafim's side while when it somes to le sserafim's busyness, soumu want to work like usual. the moon might show the biggest wall here where the first 2 cards are soumu's intentions (pretty much like usual) while the last 2 hybe's (might want them to disband, too much to handle when it comes to them).

is there any seventeen’s world tour before enlistment? like europe? or southeast asia?

the chariot, 9 of pentacles, 4 of cups rx, 8 of swords rx, 6 of pentacles • 7 of wands

i don't see it, to be honest. if the chariot can indicate bold actions as a whole (this can include possible tour), the other cards don't help: 9 of pentacles is pretty much "independent" card, 8 of swords rx can be related to freedom and in reality i pretty much associate the card with it. even the bottom card doesn't help.

pledis will try to do something though but the boys seem to refuse this time.

12th July 2024

are enhypen and i’ll-it are somehow at least friends or not awkward around each other?

page of swords rx, ace of pentacles, judgement • temperance

no. strictly colleagues when it has to be. i see it might be forbidden for them to communicate.

can you ask about sunoo and jake’s bond?

7 of swords rx, the star, the magician rx • wheel of fortune

i don't thnk their bond is the worst one when it comes to sunoo's dynamics with the other members but rather that there is some difficulties. they seem to come from sunoo's side as he has trust issues for some of the members. so in reality, their relationship between each other is greater if i have to compare with some others. their friendship is more visible behind the scenes where they are actually closer. the potential for their friendship to be the best sunoo will have with the rest of enha is there only if they focus on each other's ... i cannot think of the right word, but they should believe on each other. however, due to an event that jake didn't believed him is reasonable why.

perhaps the bond you chose is nicer than seen on camera. behind the scenes so far sunoo isn't close with sunghoon for the same reason sunoo has trust issues with jay (jay feels closer to sunoo compared to last year, yet so far). sunghoon is just stubborn to apologise. sunoo doesn't match with niki, like 100% (it's mutual). with the other members sunoo has greater dynamics than it might be seen.

will aespa ever release songs with the lore and hard high notes like savage and girls?

5 of pentacles rx, justice, the tower • the sun

sure, they'd love that (aespa). and i see they'll do it partially. for the lore, yes. sme seems to agree. for the notes... i doooooooooubt that. again i feel the worry of how they'll sound after a high hote or two. are their vocal cords okay??

will aespa ever perform savage, girls live? Cause they have never performed vocally challenging songs since Coachella 2022-2023 circle chart awards?

6 of pentacles, temperance • 2 of wands

... i lowkey doubt it. i am not sure if the girls want to perform live these songs specifically because of their voices. i am not sure if they start to sing will their voice stay the same somehow.. tbh there are worries so they'd prefer to not perform them live.

with Lisa’s solo comeback, will she continue to be in the kpop industry or will she leave the industry and go into the western industry

2 of cups, 7 of cups • 10 of cups

she tries to not label herself as k-pop idol or ... rapper, so.. to her, neither. (job-wise)

i want to ask about the future carreer of zerobaseone members after disbandment??

so far, from rough memory what i've seen:

- re-debut of the hyungs (hanbin, hao, matthew, jiwoong and maybe taerae; ricky might be here too after recent asks)

- gunwook might change the genres; he might continue to sing but in different genre/vibe/etc.; he might start as a soloist

- gyuvin and yujin might stay in yuehua, it wasn't certain answer for gyuvin though??

Hanbin | strength, the chariot

- might start something on his own, like a fashion line or debuting as a soloist

- zerobaseone will be forever in his heart and he might debut solo (sorry for repeating myself) as a part of a storyline the group has

- might be bold for some actions around the time the contracts are yet to be revealed will they renew or not

- if there's a chance, he'll stay as a zb1 member; however it'll be always beneficial for him to start solo. he doesn't want to do that

Jiwoong | 5 of swords rx, page of cups

- will be active in the acting industry nonetheless

- he wants to continue to be a zb1 member, he might do many risks to achieve it (the energy is similar yet more intense than hanbin's)

Hao | 10 of cups, the tower

- wants to be a zb1 member for sure

- his desires will shock many, to be honest, even yuehua

Matthew | the magician, wheel of fortune + 4 of swords

- i still see him creating a company but apart from that and eventually being a zb1 member, nothing much; matthew might want to focus on this wish of his.. damn that's more strong than the last time

Taerae | page of cups, 9 of cups

- might debut solo, i can see especially osts or more emotional songs that can involve his feelings more

- will do what the hell he wants to do

- he seems to want to stay as a member of zb1 but nothing much so far

Ricky | 5 of pentacles rx, the hanged man + judgement, the devil

- ricky might happen to be tired to continue being an idol, therefore he will take long hiatus because mentally he will feel like shit. honestly, with these 2 cards, i can see there can be confusion of the actual identity ricky has, i am not sure if he's one of these famous people who can meet his twin flame, karmic partner or similar .. stuff

- i can see him being back as a zb1 member nonetheless but apart from his soul journey, nothing much

Gyuvin | 9 of cups, justice

- will do what the hell he wants to do

- he might do acting in more serious plots, like similar to "suits"

Gunwook | 2 of cups, the moon

- he really wants to be with the zb1 members.. yet he doesn't know what he will do

Yujin | king of cups, 9 of pentacles

- the hardest energy to feel so far, he also seems to do what he wants

- i can see he might be more creative after the contract, either with songwriting/producing or acting

roughly, zb1 will want to continue as 9-member group but under another company, possibly created by matthew. he will be the most involved for the legal stuff for sure. so far i see the trademarks will be given to the zb1 members, so they might continue with their current name.

can you do a reading about modhausbg, if they are going to be popular or not?

4 of pentacles rx, 5 of cups rx, 2 of pentacles • knight of cups

Jaden Jeong should work on ARTMS and tripleS and their treatment before even thinking of new group, especially in his gender. when it comes to the future boy group, i don't think he started to prepare for it. he might not have enough trainees for mdhnbg.

basically, how to answer when he hasn't started to prepare for it?

there is a rumor that starship is going to debut a boy group. what do you think about the lineup? Do you think they are going to be popular like IVE? Do you think there will be any Trainee A members?

lineup?: ace of pentacles, 8 of swords rx, 10 of wands, 4 of pentacles, judgement • king of cups

the lineup isn't certain.. yet i see prominent trainee (king of cups) who will bring the company a lot of money, yet he seems to not be talented enough. i feel he might be a weak vocalist.

popularity: the star, the fool, 6 of cups, 5 of wands, 7 of swords rx • queen of swords

i don't think they'll be as relevant as ive because of the fact that fans are oversaturated with boy groups. i am not even sure of how popular they can be. their debut + first (two-three) comeback/s can be good but after that not so much. there is more stable energy when it comes to comparison with another group in one way or another (possibly fanwars or even worse). it seems that startship has dealt with it before.

any trainee a member/s?: 9 of swords rx, 5 of swords rx, queen of wands rx • knight of wands

they tried to recruit someone from the team in question but didn't work out, so no. there aren't.

is danielle from newjeans is happy to be an idol? what does she think of the profession? possible career reading for her in 2024-2025?

1: 10 of cups, the hierophant, 7 of wands • the moon

yes, danielle is happy to be an idol. she understands everything surrounding the adventure she's been it and despite everything, she's more motivated than she's ever been. overall, yes.

2: 7 of swords rx, 2 of pentacles • judgement

she's realised she has to jiggle between her passion and her personal life. sometimes she might want to do other things from what i see, so bc of that, danielle might've realised she wants to change how the industry works.. basically what yunjin said before ls' debut but for real.

3: 5 of cups rx, the devil rx, knight of swords • ace of wands

so far i sense this might happen in 2025. when it comes to solo gigs, danielle might start to do something personal. i am not sure what exactly it can be but it will make her popularity way better than how it is now. basically good things, but if they restrict nowadays danielle for her idea, hybe/ador should let her do what she actually wants.

what is the relationship between taesan (boynextdoor) and minji (newjeans)?

10 of swords rx, 8 of cups, 5 of wands rx • page of pentacles

"non-existent", my intuition said before shuffling. the cards pretty much confirms it, to be honest.. especially the 8 of cups. the surrounding cards are pretty much indicating to the lack of communicating in conclusion.

14th july 2024

who is the most workaholic ive member?

Yujin | the magician

Gaeul | 9 of pentacles, 5 of pentacles rx

Rei | the sun

Wonyoung | 5 of wands rx

Liz | justice

Lesseo | the chariot rx

MOST LIKELY

Liz: she feels it's what she deserves - to work and only work

Yujin: only on creative matters, incl. idol and acting jobs

Rei: loves to work, feels happy when she does it, however it feels she don't want to overwork herself

Gaeul: would prefer to do what she wants

Wonyoung: doesn't want to work as much as she is now

Lesseo: if starship overworks her, she won't know what to do; also i sense some karma if it happens, she might've been too brutal about something for some reason

LEAST LIKELY

why IVE’s Liz love her solo stans?

5 of cups rx, 6 of cups, the emperor • the moon

was liz bullied at school? if yes, it explains the last 2 cards.

despite her intentions being geniune, liz still has traumas that are still around her, therefore it explains why there is the "dom-sub" energy for some reason. she feels she's the "dominant" in the fan-service and the fans, the submissive, can give liz everything they could for her.

liz has traumas that aren't healed enough. as far as i can sense, she might've been bullied at school from people (men?) who are older than her. if not her classmate/s, despite them being at the same class as her or upper, then teacher/s and/or other staff in her school such as director and others. if not, then this might be related to her relationship with her parents, of course if it's not good.

due to her traumas, she finds comfort in her solo stans because it makes her feel better, especially when it comes to these times she's been through. therefore what she's felt has pretty much turned around: she was the "submissive", the insecure and unconfident, now she's "dominant", confident and certain of her desires and wishes while her fans (as the ask is related to her solo fanbase) are "submissive", these who'd do anything to please her and make her smile.

what is the friendship between an yujin and youngji?

the lovers, 5 of cups rx, 4 of pentacles rx • judgement

"their friendship is great."

their guides don't want to tell anything else

in f1, there’s Adrian Newey who designed the car and he’s recently off contract with redbull. What team do you see Adrian will sign? (teams possibility are mclaren, aston martin, williams, alpine and haas)

sorry for the short response, but he hasn't (allegedly) decided where to continue yet. (acc. to my pendulum)

Lee Seunghoon (WINNER)’s solo debut will be on 15 July. Can you read how well he will do? Thank you.

5 of swords rx, the empress, 5 of wands, queen of cups, 7 of swords • 3 of pentacles

he's releasing his solo debut (ep from what i remember) around a time where other songs are way more relevant and aren't going anywhere (yet). when it comes to his solo debut, some things might do well but generally it won't be as what it's expected. it will be liked by his solo stans and winner's fandom but up to there.

so far i sense the korean thoughts; since this is more strong than the international fans' opinions, outside of korea might do not that well, again, except from winner's stans and his solo fans.

do you see hybe messing with nwjns in terms of their comebacks, promotion and etc.? do you see them eventually leaving them alone/stop messing with them? if so, when?

[will hybe still mess with newjeans?] the hierophant, 5 of pentacles rx, 5 of swords rx, queen of pentacles, ace of swords • ace of wands

as i sense the corporation being the hierophant and min heejin the queen of pentacles, i'll be honest.

hybe will try to make many tactics to stop newjeans in one way or another, including their future gigs and/or comebacks. however, min heejin is really like newjeans' knight in shining armor, no joking. when it comes to newjeans, that woman is really stronger than ever to protect them and will do anything to make their future as bright as it can be.

as answer though, the battle hasn't finished. but it'll be on ador, min heejin and newjeans' side.

[who will win the battle?] 2 of pentacles, 9 of pentacles, ace of swords, 5 of pentacles rx, 4 of wands rx • king of pentacles

the battle seems to be in ador, min heejin and newjeans' side in the longterm. with the 4 of wands being in reverse though, it shows that it will be finished when the changes in the corporation are actually happening, no matter exactly where. from my intuition's thoughts, the changes might not involve ador except for these 3 directors that were changed recently.

[when it will end?] page of cups, ace of cups, 4 of cups rx, death, 3 of cups rx • king of wands

the conclusion of the drama between hybe and ador will happen when the needed changes are happening/announced/reported.

JR Character Profiles:

For fun and kind of a writing exercise, I made sort of, like, profiles with short bios for the vast majority of my characters. It's mostly for my own reference, but I won't stop anyone who wants to look through them.

🛑🚨Be warned that a lot of them contain spoilers for my stories!🚨🛑

Guzma

• Sexual identity: "Ya boy got enough love for everyone"

• Gender identity: "Nunya"

• Birth Region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Native Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• Ran away from home at age 16 after a certain incident that caused him to be a suspect for attemptive murder. The charges were eventually dropped, but he did not return home or to school. Instead, he joined a street gang, eventually overtaking it and developing Team Skull.

• Trivia: The vast majority of his character and personality is based on my older brother

Plumeria

• Age: 25

• Alt names: Big Sis, Plums, Plum Tree (A.), Aneki (Blue and Pink)

• Class: Team Skull Admin

• Occupation: Aether Foundation Conservation Agent

• Hobbies: Cosmetology, reading classical literature, story writing

• Sexual identity: Aro/ace

• Gender identity: Cis female

• Birth Region : Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Native Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)/White (US American)

• Father was a cop. Ran away around the age of 8 and lived with an elderly woman she would come to consider her grandmother. The woman suddenly passed away, leaving Plumeria to fend for herself for 1-2 years. Did not trust Guzma when they first met him but stuck with him since he protected her. Evidently grew to love him platonically.

• Trivia: She loves pokemon plushies to the point where she's never stolen one because she feels too guilty about it

Leon

• Age: 22

• Alt names: Lee, Dandelion (Father), Dande (Legal first name- no one calls him it)

• Class: Former Galar Champion

• Occupation: Galar Pokémon League Chairman, Macrocosmos CEO

• Hobbies: Cooking, collecting League cards, running, playing piano

• Sexual identity: Gay

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (Scottish)/North African/Indian

• Blessed with natural charisma and showmanship, he adapted relatively well as the face of the Galar league from a young age. However, he does not have a talent for code switching and had to undergo rigorous coaching to be able to speak without his heavy southern galar dialect. His mother underwent terrible PTSD after his father's passing, forcing him to step up as the main caretaker of his younger brother. Despite this, he holds no resentment for either of them. He is still processing his loss to eternatus and loss of his champion title.

• Trivia: I would legit just scroll through Scottish Twitter back when I was still figuring out how I wanted to do his eye dialect.

Moon

• Age: 14

• Alt names: Mizuki (family, mother side), Selene (family, father side)

• Class: Alolan Champion

• Occupation: Student, Research Assistant

• Hobbies: sleeping, shiny hunting, traveling through Ultra Space

• Sexual identity: Lesbian

• Gender identity: Cis female

• Birth region: Kanto

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Japanese (Kanto), White (US American)

• She and her mom moved to Alola after her parents' divorce. Her father, a Kanto gym leader, relinquished custody of her and paid her mom out a hefty sum, allowing them to afford to move regions. She was borderline mute when she first moved since English was not her first language. Over the years, she has gained confidence and "won't shut the fuck up now," as far as Guzma's concerned. She's well liked by the people of the region for all she's done and for the liking Tapu Koko had taken to her, despite her origins.

• Trivia: my original concept for her was to be older (16 or 17) but I ended up going younger as I preferred that dynamic between her and Guzma

Hop

• Age: 13

• Alt names: Hopscotch (Leon), Hoppy (Leon), Hip Hop n R&B (Guzma)

• Class: Trainer

• Occupation: Student, Research Assistant

• Hobbies: Battle analysis, Highland dancing

• Sexual identity: "I don't like boys! I just like him, ok?!"

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (Scottish)/North African/Indian

• He grew up admiring his older brother and studying/analyzing battling techniques, although said techniques don't come to him as naturally as they do Leon. He's not entirely aware just how much Leon played a role in raising him as a young child. Despite his admiration, there are times he feels he's walking in Leon's shadow and will never catch up to him. He's gained much more confidence after defeating eternatus, but now struggles watching his brother undergo the consequences of his defeat. He tries to be there for his brother in any way he can.

• My original concept for Hop was for him to be just a plain straight boy who has a crush on Gloria (who is a lesbian). Sometimes when I write, the characters get away from me and do what they want. In Hop's case, he really wanted to make out with Hau.

Blue

• Age: 14

• Alt names: [redacted]

• Class: Team Skull Grunt

• Occupation: Student

• Hobbies: drawing, reading manga

• Sexual identity: unspecified

• Gender identity: FTM

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Japanese (Kansai)

• The child of second gen johto immigrants. He was disowned by his mother when she found out he was trans. His twin brother, in solidarity, also left home despite his mother's protests. He is considered the more quiet and reserved of the two twins. Guzma secretly worries that the two are too codependent, unconsciously seeing a lot of his past relationship with Kukui reflected in the two of them.

• Trivia: The twins names (and thus, hair colors) were actually switched at first, but I thought that'd be too on the nose.

Pink

• Age: 14

• Alt names: Akkala (Plumeria), Kintaro (family)

• Class: Team Skull Grunt

• Occupation: Student, Surf Board Craftsman Apprentice

• Hobbies: Rugby, playing pranks, drawing

• Sexual identity: straight

• Gender identity: cis male

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Japanese (Kansai)

• He's the more outgoing and obnoxious of the two brothers, although it is mostly an act to get people's attention away from his brother. After leaving home, they lived on the streets for a couple months and while attempting to pickpocket someone, they were caught- Nanu was the officer on the scene. He did not file a report and instead brought them to the "disbanded" Team Skull house where he convinced Guzma to let them in.

• Trivia: He seems to have more screen time than his brother than I intended, but I suppose it's more natural for me (as cis) to write about a person struggling with feeling powerless about the injustice happening to the people they care about most, than it would for me to be write about a trans person and their specific struggles.

D.J.

• Age: 27 (at time of appearance)

• Alt names: Delta (interpol)

• Class: Punk girl

• Occupation: Medical Doctor

• Hobbies: Unknown

• Sexual identity: Unspecified

• Gender identity: Māhū, fem presenting

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi), Jamaican/African

• A licensed medical doctor who often treats underprivileged peoples for free. She's not known for her bedside manner and dresses "unprofessionally" according to many adults on the islands. She was an enormous influence on Guzma's personality and fashion sense. She was taken into custody for using illegal healing moves in her treatments and given an ultimatum- go to jail with no chance of parole or join the international police and use her bright mind to help them on their endevours. She chose the latter, hoping it would one day allow her to return to the islands to continue helping those less fortunate.

• Trivia: The reason her name is DJ is literally just because it stands for "Doctor Joy". My original concept was actually for her to be two people, a pair of sisters that ran a pokemon center, loosely based off me and my sibling.

Molayne

• Age: 27

• Alt names: Mo (friends), Big Mo (Guzma)

• Class: Elite 4 member, Former trial captain

• Occupation: Observatory Director, Inventor

• Hobbies: working with robotics/electronics, playing video games, weight lifting, photography

• Sexual identity: Asexual/alloromatic

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Unova

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (US American)/Japanese

• A rather soft-spoken person, he's an incredibly brilliant inventer and astronomer. Raised mainly by his young aunt, he grew up very poor. He makes just a decent living, despite the fact he invented the tech that would lead to the mass production of rotom phones. This is because he made all of his work open source because he does not believe knowledge should be locked behind a pay wall. He has somehow maintained a healthy relationship with both Guzma and Kukui after all these years. He also happens to have an enormous crush on Plumeria.

• Trivia: My original idea for Molayne was to be pansexual and actually end up with Kalani by the time the story is done. However, I had one commenter pitch me this idea about Kalani meeting Raihan and well... yeah...

Jessamine

• Age: 23 (at time of appearance)

• Alt names: Jess, Auntie

• Class: Swimmer Girl

• Occupation: Tatto Artist (main), Lifeguard, Barista, Waitress

• Hobbies: Unknown

• Sexual identity: Straight

• Gender identity: Cis female

• Birth region: Unova

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (US American)

• She gained custody of Molayne at the age of 19, being his only living family after his parents died in a tragic accident. She worked multiple jobs to keep them afloat and build a small savings, as she wanted nothing more than to be able to send him to college, since she never had the privilege. She had a brief fling with a member of the Malie Kanto gym, resulting in her getting pregnant and giving birth to her son, Sophocles.

• Trivia: She's actually a really important character to me as she was inspired by an old friend's mom, partly because of her personality and partly because I seemed to keep in better contact with her than my actual friend, which was likely the same for Guzma. This person passed away while I was writing the chapter Jessamine is in... I remember her name popping up on my phone and her husband's voice being the one to speak when I answered... But it made me really think about how we go through life and meet all kinds of people that truly mean a lot to us, but we don't spend as much time with them as we should or dont keep in as well of contact as we should because life is fickle and things happen. But this doesn't mean they weren't, or aren't, important to us.

Kalani

• Age: 27

• Alt names: 'Lani (friends), Fairy Boy (Guzma), Sharpedo Boy (Guzma)

• Class: Surfer, Former trial captain

• Occupation: Surf Board Master Craftsman, Hula Kane Instructor, Bartender

• Hobbies: traditional art/painting, surfing, hiking

• Sexual identity: Gay

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• A year younger that Guzma and Kukui and the same age as Molayne. He's a fairy type specialist and was the trial captain for the late Fairy Type Totem Pokémon, a ribombee. Guzma resented him, believing he could've been a good Bug Type trial captain for Ribombee. Once actually getting to know the boy, they became casual friends. Lani lost contact with Guzma in their mid teens for several years. By the time they met again, Guzma was at a very low point in life. They entered a purely sexual relationship, despite the undenying fact Lani has been in love with him ever since the first day they met.

• Trivia: I knew I wanted to have a Surfer Class character somewhere in the story because I was in love with the character model from the first time I saw it! Initially, he was more of a toxic exboyfriend type and Guzma's old drug dealing partner. Then, I stopped and realized the whole reason I wanted to make this character is because of how much I adore the Surfer class... so I changed the whole concept

Nanu

• Age: 55-60

• Alt names: 000 (pronounced double-O-Zero; interpol)

• Class: Police officer, Kahuna

• Occupation: Island Kahuna, Police Officer, Former Interpol Agent

• Hobbies: caring for his many meowths, sleeping, people watching

• Sexual identity: Aromantic/pansexual (does not acknowledge this and would say he's straight if asked)

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• He left the region and joined interpol to escape the pressure of being chosen as next kahuna by Tapu Bulu. He only returned after losing one of his interpol partners, someone he considers the only person he's "ever gotten close to falling in love with."

• Trivia: Another example of me trying to write a simple, straight character and then it getting away from me, haha

Kukui

• Age: 28

• Alt names: The Masked Royal, K.K. (Guzma and Molayne)

• Class: Pokémon professor, Alolan Champion

• Occupation: Pokémon Professor

• Hobbies: Battle Royal/competitive battling, traveling

• Sexual identity: Bisexual

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• Most know him as extremely bright and cheerful, although he's been known to let off steam by taking hits from his pokemon and it's an ongoing joke among his friends that he's a bit of a masochist. In reality, he does have a bit of a temper and often goes to Kahuna Hala to rant about one thing or another. He has always had a difficult time tolerating certain textures and would prefer not to wear a shirt if at all possible because of it. His degrees are mainly in cultural anthropology where he focused on studying traditional indigenous medicine, specifically MBM (move based medicine). His parents only minimally helped financially support his education as they were upset he didn't go into one of their fields (physics or chemistry).

• Trivia: Kukui's dad is based off my own dad and the emotional trauma and manipulation I endured growing up

"The Berry Man"

• A jolly, older Alolan man, his name is never actually specified. He taught Guzma how to use berries medicinally when he was a child. He knew Guzma was being abused and tried to file a police report on more than one occasion. He and Guzma's late grandfather grew up together and were extremely close.

• Trivia: I considered giving him a name, but he isn't given a name in the game and him just being "The Berry Man" has really grown on me

• Class: Gentleman

• Occupation: Pokémon Center Café Owner

• Hobbies: Story telling

• Sexual identity: Unspecified

• Gender identity: Cis male

• A boisterous older Alolan man, he was Jessamine's manager when she worked as a barista in the café. He's extremely mischievous and likes to tell tall tales, especially to the kids

• Trivia: When I picture him, I think of one of the old men from our local Kiwanis group that my mom worked with a lot when I was itty bitty. I was a very shy, anxious child and was very afraid of him at first because he was well over six foot tall and very imposing. But he was an extremely kind, gentle man with a bright, white smile and beautiful black skin.

Gene

• Age: 46

• Alt names: N/A

• Class: Cabbie

• Occupation: Leon's personal assistant, Leon's former personal cabbie

• Hobbies: Unknown

• A loving family man, he lives with his wife and four daughters. A former army captain, he has a warm personality and cares for Leon like a son.

• Trivia: I named him Gene as an homage to @oceandiagonale 's OC, whom I love dearly. Go read their comics if you haven't, you won't be disappointed

Piers

• Age: 25

• Alt names: N/A

• Class: Galar Gym Leader

• Occupation: Singer/Songwriter, Gym leader

• Hobbies: sleeping, bar hopping

• Sexual identity: aromantic/bisexual

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (Scottish/Welsh)

• To those he's not acquainted with, he comes off as cold and sarcastic. To friends, he is also cold and sarcastic but also very caring and will support and protect them fiercely when necessary. Half of his family is South Galarian and he'll often speak Scots to Leon as a way to connect with him

• Trivia: I have this hc that he's in a very healthy and completely platonic, sexual relationship with Gordie, but I haven't actually found anywhere in the story for it to come up

Raihan

• Age: 22

• Alt names: Rai (friends), Han (Leon)

• Class: Galar Gym Leader

• Occupation: Historian, Gym leader

• Hobbies: social media, photography

• Sexual identity: Bisexual

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: South African

• His vain, borderline arrogant persona he puts on for the public is only a partial truth. To those close to him, he is rather reserved and a very respectful young man who'd rather have his nose in some historic tome than be lauded over by his thousands of screaming fangirls. He grew up in and out of foster homes, his only living family being his birth mother, who developed early onset dementia after undergoing controversial Hypno therapy to help with her drug addiction. She's more or less catatonic on most days and does not recognize Raihan as her son on good days. He tends to prefer things grouped in twos or pairs.

• Trivia: Raihan's attempt to resuscitate Leon after his battle with eternatus and the subsequent trauma it caused him is based off of my own mom's PTSD after failing to resuscitate her brother when he had a heart attack. Unlike Leon, my uncle was not so lucky, even after paramedics arrived.

Hau

• Occupation: Student

• Hobbies: Eating, alolan sumo wrestling

• Sexual identity: Bisexual

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Native Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• He has an infectiously cheerful personality. However, as a teenager he has become a bit moody and it worries Hala. He still regrets not telling Lillie how he felt before she left and has "dated" a couple other people since then.

• Trivia: There's a scene I have yet to write about him that's inspired by a scene in "The fresh prince of bel-aire" where Will breaks down about his father abandoning him. I remember watching it as a child and bawling my eyes out.

Gladion

• Hobbies: Battle Royal, anime

• Sexual identity: Straight

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth Region: Alola (outer waters)

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Native Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)/White (US American)

• A very stereotypical "emo middle schooler" type, his loving friend group brings the best out of him. He has some say in the goings on of the Aether Foundation, but Wicke was the one to actually take over after Lusamine seeing as he is just a child and doesn't need that responsibility thrust upon him.

• Trivia: He considers Wicke a mother-figure and calls her Auntie.
