#al rambles about pokemon

[sudoscience]

Hey, so, I just found out there's a new bug in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that can corrupt your save file? It hasn't happened to me yet (knock on wood), but I thought I'd share what little I've learned about it.

There are two error messages that may occur. Save Data Not Recognized (hereafter "NR") and Corrupted Data Was Found (hereafter "CD"). Of the two, NR is the more serious. There are apparently fixes for CD, but none yet for NR. The NR message is generated in the game itself, while the CD message is from the Switch.

It should be noted that NR appears to be a relatively rare issue, but it's always better to be prepared. The cause is still unknown. It does not appear to be linked to connecting to Pokémon Go or preordering the DLC. There is also at least one instance of somebody experiencing the issue before updating to Version 1.2.0.

If you experience the NR error, do not erase or overwrite your save data. It may still be recoverable. Contact Nintendo Support.

The CD error may be related to attempting the Walking Wake/Iron Leaves raids without updating to v1.2.0, or it might just be a thing that happens sometimes. But it is less serious and can be fixed.

If you experience the CD error, it can apparently be resolved by starting a new game on a second profile, saving, and then switching to your original profile. It may also be worthwhile to contact Nintendo Support in this instance as well. (I'd say do it even if this fix works for you. Let them know how broken this game is. Bemoan the fact that the "Official Nintendo Seal" used to actually mean something. But please be nice to the customer support agent; it's not their fault.)

You should also back up your entire SD card. Turn off your Switch, remove the microSD card, plug it into your computer, and copy all the files to your hard drive. (Update: This will not help with this issue as Pokémon does not save to the SD card, but it's still not a bad idea to back it up anyway.)

(Also, there is a megathread on r/PokemonScarletViolet. You should check there for more information because this is all I know about the issue, and I got most of my information from there.)

Update 2023-03-10 (copying my reblog here so it can be found in the main tags):

Serebii reports on Twitter that a new patch will be coming in late April that fixes the bad egg glitch from the 5 Star Paradox Raids. Hopefully, the save data glitches will receive a hotfix sooner than that, but it sounds like they're still not sure of the cause. However, Joe from Serebii has confirmed that TPCi/Nintendo are aware of the issue, and again, it is not linked to Pokémon Go or the DLC, but they're still not sure what the actual cause is. More details should be coming later, so check back on Serebii.net.

I would like to reiterate that this is a very rare issue. Of the 20 million+ copies sold, fewer than 100 people have experienced this issue. That's a fraction of a fraction of a percent. As u/madebypeppers on r/PokemonScarletViolet puts it, you have better odds of winning $1,000,000 from the Powerball.

Weird ass Resident Evil head cannons because my brain is too silly

Wesker 100% got bullied by Chris and Jill when he was working with S. T. A. R. S. and cried at least once from it.

The moment Ashely got home she started crying to emo nightcore music while downing an entire pack of shredded cheddar cheese.

Luis definitely grabbed Leon's ass at least once whenever he bent down, then got the same treatment from Leon.

Leon purposefully coughs very dramatically in front of people who smoke to make them feel bad.

Chris has frequent nightmares about marrying Jill just for her to turn out to be Wesker in disguise. Every single time he has that nightmare he wakes up in a cold sweat with tears streaming down his face like he just saw the most horrifying thing know to man.

Rebecca has a penis straw some where in her house. It was a gift from Jill.

Wesker is horribly afraid of horses. Any time he sees a horse he starts running away as fast as he can. One time a horse smiled at him and he started screaming in terror.

The only reason Claire wears a ponytail is because one time when she was younger she went to a public pool with Chris and got her hair stuck in one of the drains and had to get a short hair cut. She was bullied about it for years by Chris.

Sherry is obsessed with Pokemon, especially when Leon first started working with the government since he got a bunch of money, and had a Pokemon themed bedroom. Her favourite Pokemon is Sylveon. Leon's is Pikachu because he's a dumb idiot who never saw the appeal and just wanted to make Sherry happy.

William was incredibly nerdy to the point where Annette would sometimes tape his mouth shut while they worked or else her infodump about each way to use a syringe/suture needle/any sort of medical shit they had to use. Albert didn't mind it when he rambled, though.

Chris once pranked Albert by switching his artificial sugars for his coffee with salt and hiding laxatives in it as well. Albert has never forgave him.

Jill once smacked Chris so hard he fell over and folded like an omelette. His spine has never recovered.

Leon was 100% a fan of Oingo Boingo and Weird Al. I will not explain any further.

Ada gets her nails done every other month by the same nail tech. Rebecca is secretly the nail tech.

Leon once accidentally sat on one of Sherry's Plush Charizards and got screamed at for an hour. Sherry said that she didn't want his "butt cooties" on her dragon.

Ashley loves cheese. Specifically brie.

Leon sometimes stares outside of the windows in his home while zoning out and standing completely straight. He also falls asleep like that with his eyes open. Chris will sometimes join him in watching the outside except he stands like a dad and does that thing where he has some sort of nut in his hands and shakes them around before eating them.

Chris wants to have kids, more specifically a daughter, so when Leon was on missions and Claire had to babysit her, he'd try to bond with Sherry. Sherry was horribly afraid of him and would cry if she was picked up by him.

Chris once smacked Wesker so hard his glasses went flying off. Wesker immediately got on the floor and started searching for them Velma style.

Leon unironicaly goes "YEOWCH!" whenever he gets hurt.

In the helicopter, Carlos slung his arm around Jill to try and be hot. It backfired once he realized Jill was both sleeping and drooling all over his arm. Ew.

Leon coughs like an old man on hospice.

Wesker sneezes like a kitten, especially during serious situations. He goes, "I'LL FUCKING END YOU-Achoo! (｡>﹏<｡)"

William once mistook Albert for Anette when he was incredibly tired and kissed Wesker on the lips. Neither were complaining.

This is so fucking dumb but please listen to my insane ramblings. PLEASE.

🪽🌸An introduction post i should have made awhile ago…!

Hello! i honestly should have made this a LONG time ago, but since I’m starting to use tumblr more, I decided I should probably just do it right now.

🪽🌸My name is Goggles! I am an artist and a game dev. I am a minor (17), and I am also trans. I go by he/him!

🪽🌸My blog is mostly for art, but sometimes I ramble. I usually post multifandom stuff, including some oc’s if im feeling fancy. The fandoms I draw as of right now are as follows:

Yandere simulator (I do NOT support yandere dev), Honkai Star Rail (crazy Argenthill fan), Splatoon, and Blooming Panic.

Tags of my oc’s are marked as follows: #Oc- Isaiah, #Oc- Evanthe, #Oc-Akui Sato, #Oc- Strevian

Tags for people specifically wanting to look through my art or stuff I talk about: #obligatory goggle art tag, #obligatory goggle rambles

🪽🌸Some other things I’m into but don’t actively talk about are as follows:

Jazmin Bean, Babymetal, Candye Syrup, Weezer, TV Girl, The Slatoon manga (Coroika), Vocaloid, Fnaf, Class of 09’ (unfortunately), Until Dawn, Persona 5, Danganronpa (sadly), Needy Streamer Overload, Hiveswap Friendsim, Mouthwashing, Mlp, Pokemon, Monster High, and anything involving mario characters (i love luigi).

🪽🌸You can find my other socials here! Which includes…

• My itch.io page

• My Instagram

• My Twitter

🪽🌸 If you are looking to commission art from me, check out this post!

DNI List

I think a lot of this shouldn’t need to be said, and are pretty self explanatory, but do not interact if any of these apply to you:

General bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, terfs, racism, etc. etc., pro is**al, pr*shippers, yandev supporters, Ai supporters. Just, general weirdos. Also, Nsfw. Depending on what you post you’re not weird for that, but I am a minor, so please don’t interact.

I think that’s it for the DNI.

🪽🌸Alrighty! That should be it from me. Thank you for stopping by! I hope you like my stupid Otohiko gifs.

Hey Al! I've come to pester you >:3 with....questions!

🎨: What are some activities you and S/I enjoy doing together? Do you two write together? Maybe play games together?

🏆: What are things about S/I that they feel self conscious about, but that you personally LOVE hyping up about them? Things that make you go "DAMN RIGHT. THEY'RE MINE." To others about?

🌹: If you were to pluck a gift from anywhere, any time, any location, what would you nab from the cosmos for S/I?

>:3 mwahahahahaha! Questions three I throw upon thee! Answer truly, you will do your duty, YES

(Hi hi! Happy F/ovember!)

Oh uh- okay! Hello there! Let me see here.

🎨: What are some activities you and S/I enjoy doing together? Do you two write together? Maybe play games together?

Yes! We actively write together, often times I write my own parts for the various projects we have going. (there's a version of me in Shimmer and Somewhere In Maryland where I write my own parts!) Sometimes I'll play games, usually Bootleg Pokemon (Palworld) which involves a lot of swearing on both sides. " Don't blow me up don't blow me up fuckfuckfuckfuckFUCK." Which is hilarious when we're both on call with friends who have zero context of what's going on. Hiking is a major one, and we often go for very long walks at night. My favorite is under the moonlight when everyone else is asleep. Others would say 'that isn't safe'.. but with Tala passing as a 30 or 40 something year old dude I'm not terribly worried. Plus you know I'm There and no one wants to fuck around and find out.

🏆: What are things about S/I that they feel self conscious about, but that you personally LOVE hyping up about them? Things that make you go "DAMN RIGHT. THEY'RE MINE." To others about?

Hmm... they habit of rambling on about things they enjoy, their art, their writing. They do this cute thing when they're nervous or sleepy or whatever where their left eye wanders inward (Strabismus) and it's so fucking cute. They mispronounces words due to another disease or stumble over them sometimes, and while they have been bullied and nagged at for it in the past for not trying hard enough, when ever they do it my heart melts because it's such a cute thing that they do. I know what word they're trying to say, and its become a inside-joke now where we both will call things the 'wrong' name.

🌹: If you were to pluck a gift from anywhere, any time, any location, what would you nab from the cosmos for S/I?

Ahh, hmm. See I'm thinking big, here. But... I had to say land. Because you shouldn't be able to 'own' land. But with that said; somewhere on the coast - somewhere in Northern California where he could build a homestead and have a large enough piece of land where no one would bother them, and life off the grid with solar power and all the other necessities they would need. A more tangible thing and less 'land'-- a 1991 38 ft Baja (it's a boat) We had a lot of good memories on one of those, well, healing times. When things weren't great and there were terribly abusive individuals in his life (16-22), and he wasn't in a position where he could establish boundaries and get away.. but, we at least had that boat. When the world was smaller, and he felt safe out there on the water where no one could really reach him, besides me. And I would love to bring him that security again.

[3dsangel]

I love when things wrap back around for me with interests its so awesome <3

ramble below about how things I love now wrap back into things I loved as a child, how other interests or favorite creators intertwine etc.

For BFDI:

I remember seeing scale of the Universe when I was likeee 8-9 years old w/ my older brother and being like. soooo mind blown. (Seeing the minecraft planet made me genuinely believe that minecraft was real ... I remember thinking that would show on International television soon 😭)

then like. i think from 15 years old I got into Kurtzgesagt : In a Nutshell youtube videos and it was kinda lowkey but I think in around 2020-2022 I started really loving their content ...

And then in 2023 I binged BFDI ^_^!! And It wasn't until I believe in November I found a video on carykh's channel about how he was mentioned in a Kurtzgesagt video (WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!) so I clicked and it was cuz HE MADE SCALE OF THE UNIVERSE.!!! mind freaking blown ... Cary teaching me 2 love science and the world when I was a little baby 🍀

For Pokemon:

I enjoyed pokemon very casually compared to my brother, but I still loved the franchise as a kid. The piece of Pokemon media that influenced me the most was the Pokemon 2000 movie... I think everyone and their dog remembers the scene where Ash turned to stone and all the pokemon and their dopplegangers started crying </3

After I gave away my NDS to a childhood friend/sibling I never really touched another pokemon game for some time. Even for Pokemon Go I didn't use it all that much....

In early 2016 I watched a playthrough of Undertale and it changed my brain chemistry TBH (first instance of young fran seeing the usage of a singular "they", and I knew the characters did it out of respect for the player character, not because they didn't know the gender of frisk). And well Undertale will remain a game close as hell to my heart. for more reasons than just the game cracking my egg

Literally day one of 2020 I got myself Pokemon Shield while drugged on novocaine (I had 4 of my molars removed in the morning, and the night before i had 2 best friends cut me off... not the best day) And played the hell out of it to ignore my problems. I know the game isn't the best but I still do love it okay........

Then on Twitter I see the official pokemon twitter talk about collabing with Toby Fox. freaking hi ... (I learn about the mpreg reference later but thats not important 💙)

and okay one more thing to wrap it up. well two i guess. I didn't realize Weird Al's "Polkamon" was an official(featured in a pokemon movie soundtrack) pokemon song ... for Pokemon 2000 Specifically... Weird Al omnipresently polka dancing around my whole damn life forreal

And well before I learned about weird al's (official) contribution to pokemon I hear about "Project Voltage" with a bunch of voca producers coming together to make pokemon themed songs using Mikus vb!!!! with designs for miku based on pokemon types!!! However when I heard about this I really didn't GAF despite all this love i have for vocaloid and pokemon ... you'd think I'd be hype over this <_<

[clowndotgay]

if you dont mind me asking, how do you do the card renders?

so i'm not 100% sure how to answer this because its kinda vague - i'm not sure if you're asking about the card (image editing) part or the rendering process! if you want to know about the process of getting the characters and areas into blender, i've written a few posts about that already - they're under the "toontown models" tag on my blog, so they shouldn't be too difficult to find. RAMBLING ABOUT IMAGE EDITING BELOW THE CUT EXCLAMATION MARK EMOJI! THIS ISN'T A TUTORIAL IT'S JUST ME TALKING!!!! (only slightly related, but i'm putting it above the cut so more people might see it - i wrote some mock pokemon cards for managers a bit ago but i don't want to make them full images, would anyone be interested in me just posting those as text?)

the actual image editing part i do in photoshop! it's kind of a bad program but my usual art program dies when i try to do what i do for cards because it kinda struggles with text. i've started doing the text in-render for the cards recently, though, because it's kind of a blast?

it's probably obvious to anyone who's looked at them hard before, but my mock cards use the Series 1 Cog cards as a base (the official Disney ones)

they've just got a sort of weirdly unhinged vibe to them, they're so far off of the cogs representation in-game and kinda gives a look at (imo) how the cogs were originally imagined, as I feel that some of the card art is closer to original concept art (or probably is concept art) than it is close to in-game character appearances. man, Cold Callers card doesn't even look like the same guy! he's lanky here!

and i mean, kinda obvious, but i can't get the same level of craziness these cards are on with renders, but i can try. so i do! it's fun!

i don't know if anyone has really noticed it, but for the last handful of cards i've been opting for colouring the border of the card dependent on the department of the cog. green for cashbot, pink for sellbot, etc. here's a test i did of it a couple weeks back when i was playing around with the idea in my head (the renders were randomly chosen):

(the boardbot colour is kinda subtle - but that's just how it is in-game, exe bd skelecogs are super close to exe lb skelecogs, but maybe that's just my eyes)

the actual "process" of putting the card together once i've done the render is kinda just plopping the render into the .psd and telling photoshop what department the cog is (for the border colour) & then i'm done. the file is super simple, it's just a series 1 card but i edited everything out other than the border, bunch of layers connected to the border that give it the department colours, layer of a kinda-crappy filter i slap on to try and give it the same "feel" the card scans have, layer for the text (optional now that i do it in-render), layer with the render.

there's some extra fun stuff i try and do with effects in the renders, but i'm kinda new to messing around with blender stuff like that, so i try and hold it to a minimum. as an example, the CFO render is kinda hue-shifted so i could get the colours closer to what i was basing the lighting of the render off of! to use a better example of silly effects i used for a card, i'm gonna talk about this high roller card:

dude this thing took forever because i wanted to do Everything in-render (would've taken way less time if i wasn't stubborn). it's a bunch of layers and gradients and shine. i'm kind of tipping my hand here, but there's straight up just a blindingly bright cube in their hands that's making the shine, and then i kinda just. told blender to add a lens flare. and it did. i had to simulate rain for that one misty render and that was a time. y'know. i actually have to finish up a commission where there's blinding light emitting from something and it's really really good and probably one of the best renders i have done and it is 99% thanks to the commissioner because the ask is So Good.

anyways that's kind of all i wanted to say. i hope this answered your question? maybe? was your question just "what do you make them in?" if so, it's blender and photoshop. sorry for making you read a text wall instead. at the risk of sounding too silly, i really like speaking about the things that i do, but i feel weird talking about them unprompted? so i took this as being prompted and talked.

genshin time! i did 2 of the main quest lines plus the whole 4.0 archon quest so far!! still need to do the main melusines quest line, but i’m gonna put my rambly and spoilery thoughts here:

i’ve found the trials/case-cracking equal parts exciting and frustrating. i keep jumping too many steps ahead to the conclusion while the story insists on forcing a misdirection as part of how the plot’s meant to play out. regardless, i can’t wait to break my trash bf out of jail in 4.1.

i love how we’ve had these themes set up at the end of the 3.0 quests, and especially in that last area of sumeru + the nymph’s dream artifact set dropping all that lore about the naz-whatever institute.

speaking of, in ann’s quest the friends she had were petit chou, al, jak, kate, and mori. the folks mentioned in rene’s investigation notes and in other lore around fontaine are rene, ann, alain (guillotin), jakob, and…various others?? i’m workin from memory rn. they mention a director and vice director along with a mr. karl who, in the virgil quest, is described as the adopted father of those children.

al➡️alain and jak➡️jakob are easy, but what about kate, mori, and petit chou? also, the nymph’s dream set lore kind of implies that the “hero” becomes a villain or a dragon in the story, which i remember someone online thinking that was speaking metaphorically about rene who seems obsessed with the energy issues that the institute is studying which would make rene narcissus in ann’s quest. 🤔

unrelated to any of that, the designs or animals particularly birds in fontaine are so cute!! i’d absolutely make a pokemon team out of them.

So, the other day, I unintentionally triggered a cutscene in Pokémon Scarlet that I was really not expecting. I remarked that I clearly wasn't as done with the DLC's story as I had thought, completely unaware that there was an epilogue planned and that it was, in fact, coming out the day after I said that. I was just trying to look up if there was something else I was supposed to do after triggering that cutscene, but it turns out that, in that specific instance, I actually was done with the story. The epilogue had nothing to do with that cutscene. It was still very fun, though.

(As always, spoilers under the cut)

You can't just have Terapagos bring Sada back to the future for 5 minutes, have her give me her copy of the Scarlet Book, not let me use the Scarlet Book or talk to Arven about it, and then say that's the end of that!!! My only hope is that maybe you can finally resolve that plot if you invite him as a guest coach enough times, but I've been too busy filling out the Pokédex to deal with that yet.

rambling about feeling cringy even tho i shouldnt

i genuinely do not know why on the outside i seem like someone who does not give a shit what people think of me yet on the inside i am scared of doing anything cringe and having my friends hear about it and them thinking im a weird fuck when literally all of my friends do weird shit some of them weirder than me.

first of all im already cringe for seeing myself as a rabbit made out of void matter and as a demon and as an alien and as fuckin al/yx from half life like you really cant get more cringe than that.

but secondly i want to get into rp games where i can roleplay a character through text chat and literally the only game that fits the exact genre that i want is a fucking roblox game and im like "ugh why do i want to rp in a game that was originally targeted for kids thats so weird and cringe im 22" but literally like 40% of roblox users are over 17 plus 70% of developers are over 20 years old and roblox is now allowing people to make 17+ experiences like its embracing its more mature audience.

third, literally all i want to do is rp a mute character that walks around and gets into random shit for money thats already 100x better than those people that rp nazi soldiers and civil war veterans and are absolutely obsessed with the military and are racist as shit.

fourth i literally have friends that are obsessed with playing basically roblox versions of pokemon games and spend tons of money on them meanwhile i never spend money on something unless its like cosmetic or to support a game i genuinely enjoy.

fifth i have friends that arguably do more cringe stuff than i do my best friend in the whole world that i love and adore requests commissions of fetish porn openly on twitter literally anyone would find that more weird than wanting to rp a character in a roblox game

i have no reason what so ever to feel cringe about the stuff i do when the world is full of people that are weirder and maybe worse than me and IM the one being the pussy about it? literally what the fuck. no one even knows who i am in real life nothing matters but in a good way like i can do whatever i want cause its my life and as long as im not hurting anyone its not weird i know who i am and i know im not a bad person and i have a brain thats smart enough to not do shit i shouldnt be doing.

i can do whatever i want cause im cool and i should accept that i have weird things about me and that im a weird fucker but not a bad weird im a good weird where i just want to have fun like everyone else because i deserve it.

All pokemon canonically use it/its pronouns!!

Let me ramble a bit about: Goodween (headcanons)

Ja. Goodween headcanons. Wobei vermutlich jeder Gedanke zu Goodween ein Gedanke mehr ist als sich Andre Minniger je zu ihm gemacht hat. Headcanons zu Charakteren, die so wenig (sprich: gar keine) screentime haben, sind immer wie eine weiße Leinwand, auf die man alles malen kann - also: hehe, ich hab mit dieser Liste einfach nur Spaß :) Denglish ahoi! Weil sehr lang, hier ein cut: 

Goodween ist tatsächlich ein sehr großer und offener Fan der Drei Fragezeichen! Er freut sich immer, wenn sie mit einem Fall ins Revier kommen und verfolgt sehr gespannt ihren Werdegang! Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass er einen sehr jüngeren Bruder oder Neffen im Alter der Drei Fragezeichen hat und er deshalb etwas mehr “down with the kids” ist; zu den Fragezeichen sogar regelrecht kameradschaftlich und manchmal ein Vermittler zwischen Cotta und den Fragezeichen, wenn die Wellen mal wieder besonders hochgeschlagen sind? (So im Sinne von: “Ich schau mal, ob Cotta sich da zu was überreden lässt”) 

Er ist ein bisschen jünger als Cotta (so vier/fünf Jahre maybe) - aber da wir keine Ahnung von Cottas Alter haben, hat auch Goodween dementsprechend kein festes Alter

Der Vorname ist auch so ein Ding. Ich mag mich nicht festlegen und vermutlich bleibt es trotz headcanon für immer bei ‘Goodween’, aber ich finde den Namen Deion ziemlich gut?? Aber Caleb, Emmett und sogar Ethan fände ich passend. 

Der Nachname ‘Goodwin’ ist übrigens in Kalifornien sehr vertreten und scheint zumindest in England eine tiefe Vergangenheit zu haben. ‘Goodween’ scheint es hingegen gar nicht zu geben (was mir jetzt schon wieder eine Idee für eine witness protection FF gibt, die ich nie schreiben werde, ARGH. Goodween frisch im Zeugenschutzprogramm und Cotta, sein zugewiesener FBI-Agent, and there was only one bed, you know what i mean!!). 

Er hat einen Hund namens Captain. Der Schäferhund ist ein ehemaliger Polizeihund (und, ja, in der Realität werden diese Tiere furchtbar abgerichtet und sind hinterher psychisch komplett ruiniert, aber das hier ist meine fantasy und hier gehts allen gut und alles ist prima - auch bei den Hunden), der in den Ruhestand gegangen ist aus Altersgründen. Goodween hat sich damals freiwillig gemeldet, als dessen ehemaliger Besitzer und Partner ihn nicht mit nach Hause nehmen konnte (gut, ganz perfekt ist es in meiner fantasy auch nicht, ok?) 

Captain is the goodest boi that ever was und ist ganz zufrieden mit seinem Ruhestand. Seine Lieblingsbeschäftigungen sind jetzt: den Bauch gekrault bekommen, diese eine Stelle hinter dem Ohr gekrault bekommen und die feindlichen Eichhörnchen aus dem Garten vertreiben, danach gönnt man sich ein Nickerchen. 

I’m pretty sure, dass ein Polizeihund in Amerika nicht Captain heißen dürfte, weil das mit dem echten Captain der Polizei vielleicht nicht vereinbar wäre, aber... äh ... (hier gute Ausrede einfügen)

Goodween wollte seit seiner Kindheit einen Hund (you know: der große Kinderwunsch), konnte allerdings nie einen bekommen, weil ein Familienmitglied schrecklich allergisch war oder so etwas in der Art. 

Goodween ist sehr sportlich und geht regelmäßig joggen (manchmal auch mit Captain, wenn er Lust hat), in seiner Freizeit geht er auch gern wandern und fährt im Urlaub in andere Staaten, um dort die Natur zu erkunden (I can’t relate, so no more details about this - er ist einfach sportlich und bewegt sich gern, fertig)

ansonsten ist Goodween a little bit on the nerdier side of things: er ist ein großer Fan von Fantasy-Scheiß (aber nicht von Science Fiction Scheiß, um mal eine Anspielung auf die Känguru-Chroniken hier unter zu bringen). Sein Lieblingsfilm ist die Herr der Ringe-Trilogie und ja, Cotta musste sich den extended cut ansehen. 

Goodween ist nicht der größte gamer, aber eine Playstation und eine Switch hat er definitiv, um sich nach Feierabend runter zu bringen. Dementsprechend würde ich eher Single-Player-Spiele sehen, die nicht so plotheavy sind. Also Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Zelda maybe? Würde gut in die Fantasy Kategorie passen und Goodween wäre mir derjenige, der alle 900 Krog-Samen finden will, Assassin’s Creed? (auch wenn die teilweise ‘ne Menge Plot haben), Witcher? (gleiches Problem, aber Wild Hunt ist einfach passend für Fantasy)

charakterlich ist er ist positiv, a pure ray of sunshine, meist gut gelaunt, lässt sich nicht entmutigen, er ist so ein “you can do it if you really try it / believe in it” Typ (und für die angst™ basiert das natürlich auf einer angsty backstory und einem struggle in seinem Aufwachsen, idk, mir ist gerade nicht nach angst), er ist freundlich zu jedem - kann aber verbal austeilen, wenn ihm jemand quer kommt

apropro que(e)r: er ist offen schwul (und mit offen meine ich: wenn ihn jemand direkt fragt oder das Thema aufkommt, gibt er eine klare Antwort - hätte jemand (Cotta) ihn einfach mal offen und ehrlich gefragt und sich nicht auf der Arbeit in the closet versteckt (nothing wrong there, honestly), dann hätte es nicht so lange gedauert, bis ihre Beziehung überhaupt mal gestartet wäre!) 

in dem Cotta/Goodween Universum, in dem ich dauerhaft lebe, zieht Goodween Cotta gerne mal damit auf, dass der so ernste und “es wird sich an die Regeln gehalten, Jungs!”-Cotta einen klitzekleinen crush auf einen bestimmten Kunstdieb hat, der die Polizei von Rocky Beach komplett bloßgestellt hat

Caroline und er verstehen sich übrigens prima and bond regularly über Dad!Cotta Kommentare

hello👉👈 would you write an Miloxreader? In wich the reader is good friends with Nessa, Milo falls for Reader but is too shy so the gym leaders (don’t Need to involve all of them) try to get them on a date 💛💛

hello anon 💞! of course i would, here you go! :D i hope i got your prompt right; have a good read everyone ^-^ <3

Milo × Reader || Crush Oneshot (Sfw)

You walked down the ramp of the boat that had brought you to Galar, now your new home. The port was full of people boarding boats and getting off them.

"Hey! Over here!" You heard someone loudly speaking, and turned your head towards them. It was Nessa, your longtime friend you'd be staying with until you could get your own place. You grinned and waved before hesitating as you noticed the men and young boy around her. The tall, dark one had a hoodie which you could only assume was made to resemble a dragon's stomach. The young boy was being held by a man with long white and black hair, who looked like he hadn't had sleep in years. The boy had a mask over his face, and suspenders you raised an eyebrow at.

To Nessa's left, stood a slightly pale man with pink hair. He was conversing with the first man you noticed, so you silently thanked Arceus that he didn't notice your stare. As you walked to Nessa you tried looking at anywhere other than him.

"Glad you made it here safe." Nessa walked up to you and wrapped you in a hug which you returned.

She kept an arm around you as she led you back to the guys. "Alright, guys. Be cool. This is my friend from Kanto, don't be weird. It's their first time here in Galar. Y/n, these are the other gym leaders. We have.."

"Raihan." She gestured to the tall dark one in the hoodie, who flashed a grin at you. You noticed a fang in his teeth and smiled back.

"Piers- and Allister. It was Piers' turn to babysit. Allister's a gym leader too." Piers was speaking with the other, still unnamed male. Allister turned towards you slightly and lifted his hand to wave. You were about to greet him back but he turned to Piers' shoulder again. Piers nodded his head at you as he finished the conversation.

"And..Milo." Nessa gestured to the last one, who you finally made eye contact with. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened.

"H-Hi." Milo said after a few seconds and held out his hand to shake yours. You took it and smiled at him, a dorky grin now showing up on his face.

"Alright, you can let go, Milo." Nessa snickered and took one of the bags from you as you finally let go of Milo's hand.

"Right! Sorry." He stepped back and rubbed the back of his neck, looking away at the other boats.

"Hope you don't mind, they wanted to help you move in. Rai, help me with this." Nessa gestured to your suitcase you had been wheeling behind you. He reached for it and you handed it to him, thanking Raihan in the process.

Nessa then led you to her home, the guys following along.

Every so often, you would glance to Milo and smile.

Almost every time, he was glancing to you too.

***

"You totally got the hots for Nessa's friend." Raihan grinned. "It's obvious, just ask 'em out already!"

It had been a few weeks since your first meeting, but it hadn't been your only one. Milo would often hang out with the other gym leaders solely in hopes of seeing you.

Milo, Raihan, and Piers were walking around Hammerlocke. They had more casual wear as to not be bothered too much, or given that much attention.

"How?" Milo groaned and ran his fingers through his hair. "I don't have the guts for it, they're just so.." He sighed dreamily and he could feel a blush creeping up on his cheeks.

"Dude, just say it. It's so obvious you like y/n, just tell 'em already." Piers bluntly replied.

"It's not that easy. They're from Kanto, they're- ughhh. Everything they do is so cool, what if there's cool people waiting in Kanto for them? How do I compete with that? And don't even get me started on how cute they are. Have you guys ever seen someone from Galar look that good?"

"Everyday in the mirror." Raihan quickly answered.

As they walked, Milo kept going on and on.

"And I don't like them either. I just think they're nice." He finally huffed out and walked away with pink cheeks, having reached the station to go back to Turffield.

"We're gonna help him, right?"

"Yeah, no shit."

***

"Is Milo coming over soon?" You asked loudly, peeking your head out of your room.

"Yeah! And Piers, and Rai. Why?" Nessa called back from the kitchen.

You grinned and walked out of your room, heading to Nessa. "No reason, I just think Milo's cute."

This quickly caught Nessa's attention and she turned from the fridge which she was standing at. Her eyes were slightly widened.

"I think it's cute, how he gets..he's so easy to make blush, and he has the cutest freckles too." You blushed a little as you sat down at the counter then looked up at Nessa, who was smirking. "What?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"I wanna see if he might ask me out soon- not that I like him. He's just nice looking. Goodness, his muscles too-" You rested your cheek on your open palm and continued. "He could snap me in half and I would thank him!"

Nessa snorted, "Calm down! I'm sure everything will turn out fine, stop drooling over him on my counter. Are you hungry by the way? I can make something for us."

You nodded and continued thinking of him as you got up from the counter and left, not noticing Nessa taking out her phone. She opened it and immediately went to a groupchat she had with Raihan and Piers.

Nessa: Hey. Y/n totally likes Milo.

Piers: That's good, Milo never shuts up about 'em.

Raihan: ha , ur gonna have to make milos dead body ask them out

Piers: I hate how you type so much.

Nessa: Guys!! I have an idea, but you'll both have to do ABSOLUTELY nothing.

Raihan: fine w me

Nessa continued typing away, constantly bringing both males back to her idea because their attention kept going back to Raihan's typing. She grinned, knowing you had no idea what waited.

***

You stepped out of a flying taxi at Turffield's Pokemon Center. Nessa told you to put on clothes you were comfortable and felt good in, and that she would catch up later when she was ready. It was already nighttime but you didn't mind.

Nessa told you that you would all be meeting in Milo's flower fields. The thought of finally seeing it in person excited you, you always saw Milo's work online and his plants and farm in general looked beautiful. You smiled a little and walked faster in the farm's direction.

Once you got to the fence you saw Milo almost instantly. He was in casual wear too, wearing a dark green hoodie, black jeans and normal black shoes. The simplicity of his clothing and how good he managed to look in it made you shyly grin.

"Hey! Glad you could come!" Milo walked over to the fence and opened the gate part to let you in. You two now stood inside, in front of the gate and facing Turffield.

"You look good." You said once he was turned away from you again, looking down at the fence.

"Th-Thank you. You look really good too!" He rubbed the back of his neck then realized what he said. "Not that you said I look really good- I just meant, you look good. Better than me! Or probably anyone!" He rambled and now shoved his hands in his hoodie pocket, flustered.

You giggled then stood in comfortable silence with Milo for a few minutes, often exchanging smiles.

"Shouldn't they be here by now..?" Milo finally asked. He looked around with a confused expression and took out his phone. He held it up so you could see as well, and you both stepped closer to one another.

Milo: Hey, where are you guys?

Raihan: got stuck babysitting al , TOTALLY forgot it was my turn today lol

Piers: Emergency sibling movie night.

Nessa: I have to do some stuff that came up at the gym.

Milo: So you guys aren't coming?

Raihan: no sirrrr

Piers: No.

Nessa: Sorry, but no.

You and Milo paused for a few moments and just stared at his screen. Then you felt your phone vibrate in your pocket. You took it out then saw a notification from Nessa.

Ness: Have fun on your date, thank me later. ;)

You blushed and grumbled, then took a slight step away from Milo so he wouldn't see you typing, 'This isn't a date!' as a reply.

Milo stared at the texts he now got from Piers and Raihan.

Piers: Since you couldn't do it, we set it up for you. Good luck on your date.

Rai: LMFAO ur welcome dude

Milo's face flushed as he also began to send a text of protest that it wasn't a date.

"Hey, since they aren't coming- I can go. Really." You stated and pointed your finger to the gate sheepishly. You put your phone in your pocket and smiled meekly at him.

"No, that's fine! I..actually really want you to stay." He also put his phone away and smiled shyly. "I wanna know you better, you're Nessa's friend but I want you to be my friend too."

His words made your face flush, the thought of being his anything made you have to suppress a grin.

"You're right..I wanna know you better too, Milo. And uh- what better way than to-" You finally made eye contact with him and you swore you could have felt your heart stop. "Spend more time together?"

Milo couldn't help himself, he grinned the same dorky grin from the day you first met. "Yeah! I'll show you the fields, and don't worry about getting dirty. The Wooloo and just about everything else are already in their stalls- they won't bother us."

As he finished speaking, you nodded. "I'd love to see the fields."

"Come on, and be careful going up the hill over here. Uh- actually-" Milo now held out his hand to you. "If you're fine with it that is!" His blush came back, and you stared with warm eyes at him.

"I am!" You giggled then took his hand in your own.

He gave you a small and shy smile, now leading you up the trail in comfortable silence.

You grinned in secret and continued to say in your head that this wasn't a date. You and Milo were becoming friends, and this was normal. However, there was a small voice in your head saying this was a date.

After a few minutes of walking the trail, giggles with Milo, occasionally squeezing his hand and getting the action in return, you didn't disagree silently to the voice anymore.

Thank you for reading! I hope you all enjoyed, my requests are always open! just might be a wait 💕 - 🥝
