Hi there, I had silly idea of Bakugou × reader in established relationship where she one day compares him to arcanine from pokemon, I mean look at it, it looks like Bakugou 1:1 lol

Omg anon, I confess... I had to go back in the databanks to remember this Pokemon from my younger years- but boy am I glad I did! This was a joy to write, and made me giggle seeing this ask!

Be prepared for fluff and hilarity ahead, y'all. It's 11PM and I wrote this instead of washing dishes...

Uncanny Resemblance

Words: 1.5k

For my My Hero Academia Masterlist, check it out here!

Read on Ao3

Placing the ice cube tray back in the freezer, you grimace over the lack of coolant coming from the top exhaust fan in your fridge. 

“Ugh, this is gonna be a pain when that heatwave comes,” you sigh with preemptive regret, “Really don’t wanna lose all this chicken in here…”

“Who cares about dumb chicken,” Kaminari pipes up from behind you, “What about the ice pops??”

You scoff good naturedly- Bakugou’s brand of sarcasm occasionally comes out of your mouth instead of his, despite your goal to be the more palatable half of your partnership.

“Those are for when my blood sugar crashes, darling– it’s not your personal stash when you come over.” 

Trying not to let too much air out of the tepid freezer, you shut it in favor of adjusting the main fridge’s controls to not suck up too much power. When Bakugou comes back with the new filter and coolant, you’re sure things will chill back up to temp in no time. 

Doing so leaves you plenty of time to putz around the kitchen while Kirishima keeps his particularly talkative company from eating you out of house and home. He’s already two sodas in, and despite your endless hospitality, even poor Eij wants to try and bash some manners into his friend from taking advantage. 

“C'mon man, just pick your racer already,” Kiri chides Kaminari to place his attention more on his controller than his appetite.

It’s then that your phone vibrates on the coffee table, drawing Kirishima’s eye.  There lies a small, yellowish icon beside the chat name ‘Backpack’, which he snidely recognizes as your nickname for Bakugou. 

“Hey, uh, doll? Your man’s textin’ ya!”

Head back in your fridge drawer, you call out, “Oh, check it for me? He might be asking about the brand we need!”

Drawing the notification down, Kirishima nearly chokes on his own spit at what he finds.

Yes, Bakugou’s asking which of the two labels he’s holding is what you’re in the market for… but in the margins of your texting exchange is a hilarious sight:

Bakugou’s contact photo is none other than a Pokemon. 

It’s here that Kirishima remembers his training; much like in a game of cards, it’s best not to reveal all your tells too quickly when you come across a secret. Don’t get cocky, and move with stealth. 

In a move sneakier than he’d claim to be, he screenshots the full contact detail, and texts it to himself. 

“What’d he say, Kiri?”

Hearing your voice clearer, Kirishima turns back casually and repeats Bakugou’s question, 

“He’s asking if it’s the green or blue label one!” 

“Uhhh, I think it’s green. Let’s go with that.”

“.... He’s askin’ how sure you are.”

Testily, you balk at Kirishima’s relay, “Does he not trust me?! YES, tell him it’s green.”

“... He’s askin’ what percentage sure y~”

“OH MY GOD!!”

Snickering to himself, he finally hands you your phone to ultimately set him straight, blowing up Bakugou’s contact photo on his own cell for further inspection. A second too long looking at this furry, blonde fire type you’ve chosen to represent your sweetheart has Kiri screwing his eyes shut and huffing a little laugh through his nose. 

Kaminari knows a damn good joke when he sees one, and bugs Kirishima to let him in.

“What’s got you crackin’ up?”

Kirishima tilts the phone his friend’s way- who bends over in completely silent laughter just as Kiri had, only more chaotic. It makes Kirishima react all the more, wheezing mutely into his palm to keep himself from letting you know he’d been looking in places he likely shouldn’t.

Kaminari mouths a bad idea. ‘SHOW HIM!!’

‘NO’

‘YES’

‘She’s gonna know!!’

‘Bro. BRO CODE-’ Kaminari mimics thumbs flying across a keyboard, ‘you GOTTA tell him~ He’ll be pissed!’

‘Yeah! THAT’S BAD!’

‘BUT IT’S FUNNY!’

On one hand, the photo contact is too rich of a laugh not to share with Bakugou; but on the other hand, it will all but confirm he went snooping on your phone more than intended. He’d truly hate to violate your trust… but you had asked him to look at it. You gave express permission.

Kiri’s fateful, recurring mistake; he listens to Kaminari regardless of the consequences.

“Ok, y’all are too quiet,” you finally round the kitchen island, “Picking a circuit can’t be that hard– whaaat are you two doing.”

Wearing matching doe-eyed looks, shoulder to shoulder, you take stock of how these two fully-fledged Pro Heroes look like grown-up children on your couch. 

“Oh, Kiri’s just enlightening me to the grand secrets of the universe!” Kaminari chimes back.

Not buying a minute of it but also preserving blissful ignorance, you simply retrieve your phone and squish yourself in between the two boys on the couch for an ounce for control. 

Instead of prying, you merely check into your self-care app and select your daily rewards, a song of ‘don’t ask, don’t ask, don’t ask’ under your breath as you make yourself comfortable.

Under Kaminari’s goofy thumbs up, Kirishima sucks on the edge of his lip and sends a quick little message to Bakugou before settling in for a game. 

–Not five minutes later, you hear the keys all but clash against the door before it opens and shuts with a bang.

“OKAY, WHICH ONE OF YOU BASTARDS DID IT?!”

You three whirl around in a turn befitting a sitcom. Sandwiched between both boys’ shit eating grins, you look alarmed at Bakugou: wondering what you did to be lumped into his ire.

“-not you-” Bakugou pegs you with a placating look to settle your panic, “I mean the MORONS who TOOK YOUR PHONE and made me a FUCKIN’ ARCANINE??”

With the expected vitriol blasting from Bakugou’s equally spiky hair as the Pokemon held up in his phone, Kirishima and Kaminari doubled over laughing. 

Meanwhile, you held a frozen look somewhere between hysterical and nervous.

“H- eh- I’m sorry, what?” you feigned confusion– just for a little bit longer.

Bakugou tabled the plastic bag containing your freezer parts, then sulked over to you, shoving Kaminari’s skull aside roughly so he could lean over the back of the couch in his place and show you himself.

“They set me as a freaking POKEMON as my icon– why don’t you keep this thing locked, huh??”

Swallowing your own chuckle, you peeked back up at him with guilty brows.

“Did they do it?”

“WELL YEAH!” Bakugou charged back brusquely, staring down a howling Kirishima, “WHO ELSE woulda pulled a shitty character like that to be what comes up when I call you?!”

All too sweetly, you tried again,

“And you’re sure they’re the ones who did it?...”

For an exhausted moment, Bakugou isn’t following you– until he does. Your little smirk all but screams it. 

You bat your lashes for good measure while he puts it together: “I mean, the resemblance is uncann-”

“HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN A FREAKING CARTOON IN YOUR PHONE, WOMAN??!”

Playfully defensive, you giggle through your defense, 

“It’s cute! You look like one!”

“I DO NOT!”

“Well it’s not like I have an album of pictures with you actually smiling to put there!”

“FINE THEN-”

Bakugou swipes your phone straight out of your hand, reverts the camera to selfie mode, nearly puts you in a headlock, and waits for you to quit squirming already before giving you a deceptively gentle kiss on the cheek-

At the very moment you look back at the camera with adorable realization, he snaps the photo, then releases you entirely. His grumpy scowl is back in full force, as if he hadn’t just posed for the sweetest photo of your entire relationship.

Tip-tapping for just a few more menus, he places your phone firmly back into your hands. 

“There. And don’t you dare change it. NONE of you.”

You squawk in delight, finding his face has not only been set as your lock screen, but also your home screen and of course- his profile photo. The redhead on your left and blonde on your right both coo their ‘awws’ on either side of you seeing their Bakubro showing an ounce of emotion immortalized for all eternity.

Before you can even rally to soothe your likely embarrassed boyfriend, you follow the sight of said grumbling man as he’s taken the bag’s contents to the freezer. He’s handling it all a bit roughly, but is setting to work himself so you don’t have to fight with it again for the third time today.

It’s a sweet gesture, and makes you only adore your prickly Arcanine who had clearly chosen a protective stance once he came home– never once considering you’d have been the one who did the ill deed against him. The similarities are painfully obvious to everyone in the room… and perhaps that realization was hitting him a bit close to home, even in jest.

You’ll owe Bakugou a playful apology, which you’re sure an indulgent scratch along his back and through his hair will fix.

Never before have you been happier for Kirishima to have chosen you as the little sister to mess with~

What do you like about Nemona

Gahhh, fuck me, that's a bit hard to summarize.

But I have been meaning to do a write up to explain it to people in my personal life. Maybe this is a good excuse to get around to doing so. I'll try to cover the important stuff while not getting as deep into specifics as I honestly could. It'll still be an informal short essay, though, lol

In Pokemon SV, the player enrolls in a fancy Academy on a remote island nation of sorts (inspired by Spain). They meet Nemona after choosing their starter Pokemon, and Nemona offers to the school's director to adopt a starter herself to 'coach/mentor' the player character. You see, unlike any other 'rival trainer' before her, Nemona is already a Champion. Before your character sets foot in the Paldea region, Nemona has already gone through the entire song and dance of Gym Battles and all that, and attained the highest rank a trainer can in the region. She's completely obsessed with Pokemon battling and has become bored of being 'the best' because no one wants to battle her, for various reasons. So she views you, a newcomer, as an opportunity to test herself as a 'mentor/senpai/big sis' figure as well as essentially 'New Game+-ing' herself for sheer love of the game that is Pokemon battling.

People consistently call her 'the girl Goku', but I ain't seen Dragonball Z, so I can't comment on that much. But she is a very enthusiastic, cheerful, determined, battle hungry person who is very into self-growth and self-improvement. At the end of the day, she wants a true rival, someone she doesn't need to hold back with, and who she can look to as a consistent figure in her life. She is very eager and hyperactive about connecting with people through battling.

A lot of people who play the game get offput by her, and she gets branded as a 'yandere' archetype (ie obsessed with the player character to a horror-inducing degree). She gets meme'd as being 'creepy' and 'obsessed' and all that, depicting her eagerness as mental illness and a bad thing.

(gif from a fan animation)

When her behavior stems from positive emotions and a desire for mutual growth and connection, not specifically ownership or possession -- to Nemona, a person who just obeyed whatever she would want of them would defeat the point. That's not what a rival does -- they push back, after all. Within the context of the SV plotline, she is bored of being Champion all by herself, and wants to train someone else to reach her same level, which is why she is so invested in you, the player character, following you around everywhere and being that 'big sis' archetype. There's some selfishness in there, for sure -- she wants a proper rival for herself, someone she never has to hold back with -- but given her social obligations and reputation within the Academy/region, she also I think wants to prove she is capable of handling herself as a mentor figure, prove to herself that she didn't become a Champion by luck or accident (if she can help someone else do what she did, then it wasn't just a fluke, she really does know what she's doing, etc.), and also help prove to her fellow students that she's really not as intimidating as they think she is.

And yet, people both in AND out of the game are quick to write this intense, protective behavior off as 'insane' and 'creepy' -- and as someone who very regularly got called a 'creep' through to the end of college for literally just trying to make friends,' I almost take it personally when I see people label Nemona as a 'yandere' type. It has its comical use and all but I still find it kind of hurtful in a way.

(Art by MagDraws)

Because that's the thing -- if you pay attention to what little story there is in SV (it's not exactly a complex narrative), Nemona's character is essentially a metaphor for neurodivergent/queer people who have hearts bursting with affection and passion for their hobbies yet who struggle with loneliness and isolation as they put off most people from keeping them around.

But at the end of the day, Nemona is just neurodivergent, her special interest is Pokemon battling, and she is simply desperate for human connection -- and battles are just the way she feels most comfortable doing that.

And the world would be a better place if people like me or Nemona were able to become self aware at a young enough age to start managing our behavior, (which she is shown to be learning to do!) while ALSO having a general population that is more open-minded and understanding to the idea that 'oh huh that person's brain is electrically overcharged and they love people and hobbies maybe way way more than I do but that's FINE as long as they're not hurting anyone'

As a youth, I just... kinda got great grades, made honor roll, etc. And it felt like I wasn't really trying? So adults around me thought I was 'gifted', or 'naturally talented'. But in reality, I think I was just neurodivergent, and since I struggled to make friends, and physically wasn't able to see them outside of school due to various factors, I just... ended up focusing on my schoolwork instead. So that's one way I relate with her retroactively -- she is a model student, yet ironically has a bad reputation amongst many.

(HOWEVER, Nemona comes from a RICH family and I came from a poor one, there was some big racial tension dynamics at play in my early gradeschool years, familial breakup shit, soooo there's some very different dynamics at play there)

Another thing I adore about her and connect with in a way no one else in my life does -- she loves one-on-one competitions with others through battles. I don't love physically fighting people, I'm a super non-violent person in reality. But I love fighting games, it's my favorite genre. And there's specific philosophical elements to enjoying fighting games that I think most people don't click with that she and I do.

She is here to GROW, to learn, to improve, to have fun regardless of winning or losing, because the act of spending time engaged with another person, figuring each other out, testing yourselves mutually, is enjoyable and edifying regardless.

That 'warrior's path' of self improvement and enjoyment and growth regardless of the outcome of battle is something I very much connect with and it's great to see a character who feels likewise while also having elements of interpersonal struggles in spite of or even because of the way she functions differently than other people. Again, I don't know much about Goku, but I get the impression he is good at making and keeping friends, while Nemona is bad at it.

On top of this, Nemona has extra wrinkles to her character -- she's physically disabled. The game is vague about it, as Pokemon always is. But she wears an arm brace because she throws a LOT of pokeballs with all the battling she does, and she seems to have some kind of issue there, physically. Also, despite how GOOD she is at battling, she is terrible at catching Pokemon, and seemingly at doing the exploration aspects of being a trainer. She canonically has poor stamina and wears herself out easily -- which, given how high-energy she is as a person, probably happens constantly. So it's also strongly suggested that she spends time not just training all of her Pokemon (she juggles multiple teams, yet another fighting-game esque thing I relate with, as I tend to juggle many characters and not stick to a single main or team), but she also trains herself, physically, to try and keep up with her 'mons, but also as a means of self-growth/improvement in general.

I won't post the examples but trust me, there are many subtle but intentional nods alluding to her being physically disabled, and being BAD at core elements of what we expect a Pokemon trainer to be -- exploring the wilderness, catching Pokemon, etc. But she's so passionate about it, she doesn't let her limitations stop her,

So it creates an interesting internal tension imo because she is not only very queer coded, very neurodiverse coded, but ALSO disabled coded. But she hides her internal struggles by essentially avoiding having to confront them, generally speaking (which itself is ripe for narrative development). Sadly, the game never brings this to a head in way (it's Pokemon, so of course it doesn't). But the ingredients are all there, especially when you add characters like Penny, Arven, and Scarlet into account -- as well as implied expectations from her rich family, or from the leader of Paldea, Geeta, who implies she wants Nemona to be her protege. And I haven't even mentioned that Nemona is Class President, meaning she's actively taking on social responsibility for her peers even though she gets shit talked behind her back for being so obsessed with battling and getting in people's faces with her over-eager desire to bond with/battle them.

This right here -- this is the specific core element of her character I personally connect with that, somehow, no fictional character I've met so far has put into the exact right words with enough context for me to believe them.

From my youth to even now as a full grown adult, I have experienced this feeling my entire life, whether with family, at school, at the workplace, even in most online spaces -- an 'invisible wall' between me and everyone else, and for a VERY LONG TIME I had convinced myself it was because something about me was 'broken' and 'not right'. But now, in part thanks to characters like Nemona, and the discussions around/about said characters, I can see that my brain just functions differently from other people, and a I grow and self-teach myself how to manage my own behaviors/expectations, I can better appreciate all kinds of relationships in life without needing to let go of or sacrifice that internal flame that used to threaten to consume most people I cared about -- that fear of being 'too much' or 'too intense' in my own ways (ways better expressed through text interaction than in person, to be fair, but again, MOST of my social life has been online my entire life, so yeah).

Like Nemona, I found people in my life who accept me for who I am, and blablabla all that cliche shit. But in Nemona, as I do with a rare few other characters in media (Vi from Arcane, Luz from The Owl House), I see a specific element of myself I don't elsewhere, and sadly did not see often growing up. A balance between ferocity and determination paired with unending affection and love. A desire to never give up on people, no matter what, and to be open to change both internal and in others. In Nemona's case, specifically, that element of neurodiverse passion matched with sheer loneliness -- that 'invisible wall'.

No matter what, she never gives up, in battles or socially.

I could go on into specific examples but I've said enough here to get the ideas across, I'm sure.

Oh, and as a sidenote, I think she has a great character design -- it's SIMPLE but recognizeable. The combo of color-coded gear (red/white/black, my favorite outfit color scheme), a arm brace, and accented hair. Her design feels like a plausible human being, but with a bit of 'anime bangs' syndrome.

I should probably mention -- I don't like Pokemon SV as a video game! I am like 160k words of fanfiction into telling a Pokemon story and I think the game itself is stinky garbage barely holding itself together with duct tape and a corporate prayer.

But unlike any other generation of the franchise, Pokemon SV presents a cast of characters with defined personality strengths, weaknesses, and varied backstories, who start the game as strangers, and by the end begin to dip their toes into 'found family' territory. For the first time in the entire franchise, I actually give a shit about the characters, about seeing them grow and connect with each other, because the overarching theme of SV's story, what little it has, is about isolation, outcasts, loneliness, and how found families form.

And Nemona's kind of the heart of all of that, the endlessly hopeful, energetic, eager one that will never give up on you, that irrationally throws affection at you, seemingly for no 'good reason' -- because just being a person who tolerates her and her 'too much'-ness is itself reason to be grateful for your presence in a world where she feels isolated from most everyone else simply by being herself.

Maybe this answers your question!

Headcanons of Guzma, Raihan, Piers, and Adaman react to shy crush confessing to him?

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

hello anon, thank you for the request! i can totally do this for you!

𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐡𝐚𝐧

-you decided that today youre going to be confessing to Raihan. with the help of one Pokemon, Applin. you read somwhere that Applin can be used for confessing your love to someone. so you went on a journey to find Applin, even though it was going to be a rare find you were dedicated to give him that Applin.

-he loved your confidence and determination, and admired you for going far and beyond for someone that you love. and he was determined go go far and beyond just for you.

-he definitely teased you a bit during the confession (and still does) "haha, youre face is as red as Applin!" he loves to gently pinch your red cheeks for some reason.

-he of course accepted your confession as soon as he took the pink loveball containing Applin out of your hands. you two definitely raised the Applin together, he even uses it during battles at times.

-like true Raihan nature, after the two of you confessed he took a picture of the two of you captioning it something cheesy. and in that momment everyone knew that the two of you belonged to each other.

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

𝐆𝐮𝐳𝐦𝐚

-you did not confess to this man out of your own will. It was actually one of the team skull members who teased you about it and threatened to tell Guzma themselves. so after hours of contemplating and procrastinating you decided that you would go up to him yourself and proudly spit out your confession. (however, it did not actually go like that. you were whimpering and trembling the whole way)

-he actually admires your confidence for going up to him and just confessing to him like that (little does he know), knowing how that stuff isnt easy for you. and hes actually suprised you confesses to him out of all people. how could such a gentle person like you love someone like him?

-of course he loves you too, he always has. but the idea of someone returning his love seems so surrel to him. you've always made him feel some type of way, around you he feels like he can let go of his "big scary tough guy" demeanour, thats when he knew he wanted to spend his life with you.

-he notices how much youre shaking after minutes of silence from him, he then confesses. you're relived, you can finally let out that shaky breath youve been holding in. he walks to you and pulls you in to his side, which is somewhere you'd never leave

-he would tease the hell out of you. i mean even before you confessed he would tease you, but this was the cherry on top. he would just keep on going and going until you turn red in the face and pass out. (jk he wouldnt go that far, maybe just some "light" teasing)

(aaaaaaa sorry this is more of a short story than a headcanon)

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬

-you two confessed to each other on the same day!

-while he listened to your confession he just couldn’t help but to admire you and your confidence. he admired the fact that you liked him out of all people, he didn’t see himself as anything extravagant but him hearing the way you praise him in your confession made him really feel like the best person in the world

-while you confession was nearing its end he gently grabbed your hand and traced circles on your skin with his thumb. and when you finished he aligned your hand with his and slowly intertwined his hand with yours. which obviously caused you to become more flustered than you already were.

-to accept your confession he pulled out a cute bat clip, one of the many gifts and trinkets he got for you this very special day. he gave yu many things that fit your interest and manythings of his own.

-for his confession he led you back to the Spikemuth gym so he could preform a song he wrote just for you! while he preformed he held your hand and looked lovingly in your eyes.

-after that he just preformed what ever song you like. and would mix in a song he had from a playlist he made just for you

-he would totally play any love song by The Cure. Lovesong, Friday Im in Love, Lovecats, etc

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧

-you decided to ask to confess to him two days before the festival being held in Jubilife village. (you had a week, but of course you were too nervous) he happened to be in the area, you decided not to waste anymore time.

-while confessing he noticed how shakey your voice was and how you stumbled over your words. he put a hand on your shoulder, "hey hey, its alright. take your time okay?" he smiled. (he made it worse)

-he was so bold and quick in accepting your offer to accompany him to the festival and in returning your confession. it almost scared you knowing that someone can be like this, but thats what you liked about him the most

-he loves the fact that you took the time out of your day to confess to him. how could you apologize for wasting his time? when youre around no time of his is wasted, hell be sure to let you know that.

-he gave you a blue hair pin/shirt pin that would match the outfit that he would be wearing to the festival.

-

i hope you enjoyed! (i was in a bit of a rush to get this out im sorry!)

i posted this a bit later than i wouldve wanted, a shcedule changed happend at work today which messed up my whole routine for my assignments.

Pokemon Horizons Episode 66 Review - School Hacking Incident

We’re closing in on the finale of Terastal Debut, and we’re seeing some major growth for our young protagonists. The difference between the penultimate episode of Terastal Debut and the penultimate episode of Shine of Terapagos is very major. While both involve the Explorers, the kids are now more capable.

Like with the end of the Basics test, Clavell lets the students have fun by hosting another battle tournament. I do like that they’re so eager to let the students battle so often. The failed students are still allowed to Terastal, but it’d be the last time they do it as failed students would have to return their orbs after the day is over. Other than Liko, the only other known person who failed is Bocco, the Dot look-alike.

I do like that there are lots of callbacks of episodes 43 and 44 in this one. Episode 43 had Liko and Roy do a Multi Battle against Sidian and Coral with Liko vs Sidian and Roy vs Coral, but the battle was called off. In this episode, the same matchup from before happens, but Liko and Roy are more experienced now. Floragato is no longer a Sprigatito and Liko even uses Terastal to beat Sidian. Even though she failed her exam and is only supposed to use Terastal during the battle tournament, but Sidian used it illegally, so Liko did the same.

With Roy and Coral, no one used Terastal, but it’s nice to finally see Fuecoco get a win from Glalie after battling against it twice. One little detail I like from the Roy battle is that it was originally in the art room, but he didn’t want to destroy the artwork, so he used Kilowattrel to move to another location. It’s really sweet that he’s so considerate of the students’ hard work when it comes to their schoolwork. Coral didn’t really care if it gets damaged or not, but still followed Roy to the new location.

There also seems to be a budding rivalry between Dot and Chalce now that Dot is more involved. I hope that they’ll get another battle in a future arc; it does suck that Dot’s essentially the only one who “failed” her battle. I do like that the kids know that “Sandwich”, “Onigiri” and “Agepan” are Explorer members, but they never knew their names until now. Sidian gives Liko his name while Coral and Chalce reveal theirs to Roy and Dot. I do like that giving their names is like a sign that they acknowledge them as worthy opponents or something…

Remember what I wrote in my review of Episode 63 in that Grusha was being harsh towards Liko because he wanted her to prove him wrong? I was right! Liko did prove Grusha wrong, but in a different way, however. He was there to witness her battle against Sidian and saw that she used Terastal despite being forbidden from doing so because she has something to protect. He even mentions that Liko fights better when she’s battling for self-defense or to protect something rather than competitively. It was nice that he went all the way to Clavell’s office to change his mind about failing Liko since she protected the school from the Explorers and did not allow the incident to escalate into something disastrous. I think it’s a nice reward for Liko’s efforts. People might see it as a “pity badge” sort of thing like how Ash got some badges in Kanto out of pity, but sometimes, hard work deserves good rewards.

I was a tad disappointed that Penny wasn’t more involved with the episode. Sure, she did try to prevent Chalce from hacking the system, and that her role in the story is to be the school and league’s tech person, but it does feel odd that she seemed like she’d play an important part, but does get sidelined as the story is about Liko and co. Still, it was nice seeing more of Penny.

I also like that the kids’ second Pokemon were used in the episode. Liko let Hattrem out of her ball to heal the security guard and his Psyduck while she went on ahead. Hattrem was also the key figure to let Grusha stay back and witness Liko fight against Sidian. Roy used Kilowattrel to move locations. Dot used Tinkatink to destroy the computer, but got the wrong one. It’s nice to see their other Pokemon be more involved now that the kids have grown as capable Trainers.

I think we were long overdue for an eventual Liko vs Roy match, but it seems that the finale will finally showcase it. I think it’s the perfect way to end off this arc. They’ve been training buddies, but now they’re opponents for the friendly battle tournament. Both were rookie trainers, but now have grown so much. Who do you think will win? I honestly think it’ll be a draw.

MORE dumb cp9 headcannons because I needed to store everything somewhere (part 2??)

Jabra is that guy in olive garden who see how long the waiter will grate cheese for

Growing up, Lucci was the one who took care of Kalifa and Kaku, plus he was crazy overprotective over them

Kaku was the final member who had never tried smelling salts but once he did he sniffed it really close and couldn't breathe properly for like- 2 weeks

Blueno and Lucci makes little figurines of the cp9 members

Jabra once punched Spandam in the crotch as hard as he could because intrusive thoughts (he claimed it was a fly)

Kalifa and Kaku are the Bill Nye of the crew

Kumadori went through multiple emo phases

Fukurou and Jabra teach Lucci brainrot words

Kumadori was the "Santa" of the crew when they were still kids (Lucci never fell for it)

Besides Spandam, Kalifa and Kaku are the shortest members

since they were all band kids, they come together every once a while and learn a song to play together, like an orchestra but really tiny

Kumadori and Kaku have severe arachnophobia

They play uno every Friday night (along with Monopoly) and no matter what, they always end is a 1v1 battle to the death because someone placed a plus 4 on Jabra or Fukurou

Kalifa could set water on fire if you left her alone in the kitchen

the entire crew (besides Lucci) wanted to get a dog but stupid SPANDAM fed a fruit to a sword and said they didn't need a dog anymore (he got a crazy beating [even from Lucci] but funkfreed was equally as good anyways)

Lucci would NEVER admit it but he has mild separation anxiety when he's away from any of the crew and is always around them for safety (except Spandam)

When Fukurou found out about THOSE ships (ahem) he immediately told everyone all the pairings of them at the dinner table and Kalifa even threw up

Lucci takes his trombone every once in a while and blasts it as loud as he can Infront of Jabra or Spandam's door at 2AM

Kaku has the BIGGEST Pokemon card collection you have EVER seen (40% of them are girafarig cards anyways)

Friday is always game night

When playing ssbu, Lucci plays as incineroar, Kaku as game n' watch (or Luigi), Kalifa as zero suit Samus, Blueno as villager, Jabra as wolf (and daisy), Fukurou as pac man, and Kumadori as kirby

Lucci really likes the olive garden bread sticks

Kaku cooks spaghetti a crazy amount - like 4 times a week (Blueno knows Kaku doesn't like spaghetti himself so he makes him whatever Kaku wants while the rest just eat his spaghetti because they LOVE it)

Kalifa is a HUGE Splatoon fan

Jabra has a fursona

Blueno has the lowest spice tolerance

Kaku and Lucci play Lego and build ship models in secret

Whenever they get a hotel, it doesn’t matter how small it is they WILL all sleep in the same room

Kaku is actually the heaviest drinker when it comes to alcohol or beer, but he hates the taste so he sticks with juice (kalifa and Lucci are tied for second)

Jabra will never admit he's TERRIFIED of horror movies

when they walk into Kumadori's room they're hit with is the strongest smell of gingerbread candles in the middle of august

Kaku has never eaten any Mexican food

Literally all of cp9 has this weird thing where they randomly just start holding back tears and barge into one of their rooms to cry about how much they love them (it's become a meeting at this point whenever this happens they call code crew and they all just go to the same room to hang out until the person feels better)

Fukurou and Jabra still have to count with their fingers

They've all known each other since they were mere kids

Jabra often tries to get Hattori to like him more than Lucci but fails miserably every time

Kalifa shops at hot topic

Kumadori is the instagram influencer who takes pictures of his food

Lucci's den den has countless pictures of the crew, even some really dumb ones

Kaku is the only one who can breakdance and has a ddr machine in the game room

Kalifa, Kaku, and Spandam love playing with Jabra and Kumadori's hair

Blueno has an addiction to coffee (it's the only thing that keeps him awake)

Jabra drinks milk from the carton and the whole crew thinks that's gross AF so Blueno has to buy multiple extra cartons, exclusively for Jabra cause he's gross

They're all close enough to share spit without complaining or anything like- they drink from the same cup, they just eat eachother's food like it's their own and even share gum if they're desperate

Blueno teaches Jabra how to shake drinks so he can impress the ladies

Lucci makes Spandam call him by his full name because he isn't "cp9" close

Kaku uses Jabra as a verb when describing something really stupid

Kalifa, Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, and blueno all know Morse code and it looks really stupid when Lucci and Jabra are arguing through Morse code

It might snow where I live this week so I got nostalgic about snow days as a kid. That got me wondering if you have any head canons about the parents with their kids on snow days? Emmet probably teaches the girls how to be vicious snowball fighters…

characters: Ingo, Emmet, Cyrus, Colress, N, Volo, Grimsley, Lear, Larry, Nanu

Ingo and Erin go for a walk together. Erin is a bit bad with the cold, so he is basically clinging to Ingo the entire time while bundled up like a laundry ball. You can barely see his face underneath the layers. Ingo is more moderately dressed, having long since adjusted to the harsh winters of Unova. Chandelure is also out and keeling a gentle warmth over them both while watching Erin when Ingo gets distracted. They both head back in when they are done and enjoy some hot beverages. (Hot chocolate for Erin and coffee for Ingo.) They also build a snowman… Erin asks to put a conductor's hat on them to make them a snow-conductor. Ingo does so.

Emmet and his girls are a bit more… active. Inka wants to just run and play the entire day and is absolutely having a snow ball fight with Emma against their papa. Emmet does genuinely fight back. After all, if a battle is not serious, it is not fun. He does end up losing as a 2v1 is still unfair even if your enemies are little girls. His defeat conditions mean making them hot chocolate. He complies with their demands. Emma is entranced by the beauty of the snow and ends up snapping some photos of the weather.

Cyrus and Cyllene are certainly more… home bodies. They do not often go out adventuring, and snow is more common where they live. Yet… When Lenie wishes to go out for a walk in it, Cyrus joins her to watch over her. Despite living in the frigid conditions of Sinnoh, he is quite unacclimatised to turn colder temperatures. He bundles up for more than he should and makes sure that Lenie is much the same. He holds her hand as they walk around just outside of Veilstone to see the mountainous routes surrounding it. The snow is truly beautiful. They both then head back inside and curl up under a blanket while enjoying the beauty of central hearing.

Grimsley is not much of a snow person, but he does not mind the cold. The iciness of the seasonal shift in Unova is a bitter thing, but he seems to get why his kids want to play outside. Nero was an active sort who always seemed to busy himself, and Morrigan wanted to follow him around everywhere. So, they both end up playing on Route 14 as Grimsley watches over them. His Houndoom stands at his side as the two bicker and toss snowballs at each other. Nero decides to build a snowman and snatches Grimsley scarf and declares it a snow-gamber. A chuckle does escape him from that. Morrigan ends up tracing Nero's steps like a cat. Both end up at his sides in the end, seeking warmth. He just lets them with a sigh while wondering if he could have had this when he was younger.

Colress really does not understand Prisma's demands to go out in the weather – Even more so why she demanded that he join her. He did, of course, happy to spend time with her. She observed the snow with such a curious expression he fell into explaining the meteorological events that lead to snow. She then nods at his words before tossing a snowball at him. He is momentarily stunned before realising she was giggling at him. The scientist then found himself imitating her, leading to a fierce snowball fight. He determines that fighting may have the same benefits between people as it does with pokemon. They also build a snow man together. Prisma puts a lab coat on it. They end their snow venture by heading in and warming up on the couch. Colress found valuable data in this experience, he supposes.

Lear struggles to understand why he must pull away from his endlessly busy schedule. But… When his children look at him so pleasingly, he cannot help but relent to his wishes. He will never be the man his father was. They mostly end up wandering around the gardens due to his worries for their safety. Regan seems utterly fascinated in attempting to build a snow shelter while Cordelia insists on making snow angels. He worries about her health, knowing her condition is frail, but she seemed in and up-turn. He ends up helping Regan build the snow shelter. Cordelia and Regan both also toss some snowballs at him, frustrating him and reminding him of something their other parent did to him. Lear does not fight back, however. In the end, he calls them inside and has them eat warm stew and hot drinks. He also has to sit under a blanket for a long while.

N and Clover are quite entranced by snow. Both already tend to be out in nature, so a change in weather does not deter them. They mostly end up spending time with various pokemon out in the cold, but end up doing some traditional snow activities. A snowman is made with Clover wondering if it will come to life. N ponders it for a moment, too. Ice types often could be made of ice… They skip out on a snowball fight. She ends up clinging to N after a while, alas she is still a small girl and the temperatures are far too cold for long-time exposure. She ends up snuggled with him under a blanket after a while. N feels oddly complete… Something dances just in the back of his mind about fulfilling a dream.

Larry goes outside with his kids into the snow. His son and him play catch with a snowball until it falls apart. His daughter flops back into the snow and stares up at the sky. He worries about her until she pops up and asks if birds do not fly in this weather. She sounds extremely disappointed. His son and daughter end up making a snow-Larry being tormented by a snow-Geeta. He does not know how to react to that. They all end up enjoying a hotpot at a local restaurant in the end. The foodie gene was inherited by them both.

Snow in Hisui was not an uncommon thing. The whole region was usually bathed in it for the winter months. Volo had lived here his entire life and long since adjusted to this schedule. Yet, he found himself watching in intrigue as his own daughter explored the icy grounds. Astrea had certainly inherited his curiosity, of that he was sure. He followed her closely as she wandered, stuck between concern and fear. She turned back at him a few times and smiled at him so brightly. He pondered how such a child could exist in this awful world. They end up sitting beside each other and watch the snow build for a while. She asks him questions and he answers. Somehow… in the end, he feels as if his people's legacy is safe within her hands. Especially as she leans into his side for warmth.

It does not snow in Alola, excluding a mountaintop. If it does, Nanu is freaking out and probably having to calm and upset Tapu. Ohi'a ponders how this incident came to be.

nemona's sync pair story in pokemon masters ex can be viewed anytime as soon as you recruit her, and in just a couple minutes of dialogue we scarlet/violet story analyzers get some great subtext-made-text and new subtext:

confirmation of one instance of nemona working herself really hard for the sake of others and seeing anything less as a display of her own weakness and letting them down (even if the others are her pokemon in this case). it's something that i thought always seemed likely to be a theme with her if we knew more about her, with stuff like her mostly un-commented-on arm brace / compression glove and perfectly clean room nearly devoid of personality outside of her meticulous schedule and displays of her achievements, and what that implied about her relationship with her family, teachers, and idol

recontextualization of why she wears sporty athletic wear and runs around everywhere, even though she's a straight-A nerd who has to take a break every 50 feet when she initially takes you to school and is still winded enough to be worthy of comment from arven by the time you're running around in area zero

the fact that penny, the otaku shut-in, did not get called out like this means either she performed exactly as arven expected her to based on how she looked, or that nemona was doing the worst out of all of the group and might actually have some kind of chronic condition / disability like some fans theorize. nemona's stamina now being revealed to be a long standing insecurity of hers despite shrugging it off with a joke in area zero implies the latter to me

if she shrugged off a long standing insecurity with a joke, that could potentially say a lot about any other things she didn't want to make a big deal about that fans are a little suspicious of, like saying her parents were "hands-off in a good way" with her while her sister got all the attention, which i definitely think was an deflective understatement or simply not realizing there's a problem

and if her low stamina and "bad throwing" are in fact due to some kind of condition and mostly out of her control, that also makes her calling herself weak that much more tragically unfair to herself. someone hug this kid please

i trust these folks to write a compelling nemona if they were given the chance to, not just a fun and cute one. they get it.

her 15 minute storyline from her debut event is mostly just good fun with her meeting a bunch of people and almost winning a big tournament with her new friends hilda and bede. it also, however, touches upon how sad she is that people mostly get jealous of her rather than feel inspired by her (which she actually comes up with a motivational speech to try and combat this time, with hilda's help). it even has her tell blue and bede that florian/juliana back home is "a precious treasure" to her, which made me melt into boiling taffy.

now i'm looking forward to whatever else they come up with when nemona's more plot-driving friends arrive. despite how cheesy and hit-or-miss pokemon masters tends to be, they're treating scarlet/violet with respect so far. it's canon to me. i kinda need that right now when we're not sure what the friend trio are gonna get in the DLC of the actual game.

A Feast fit for a Glutton

hi! here's that self indulgent ass vore fic i wrote in a moment of strong thirst. 1.5k words, contains male pred/female prey, quarter size vore, pokevore, stuffing, some suggestive bits (mostly just moaning) and mentions of digestion (it happens to the food rather than the prey). the characters here are both my ocs and are in a relationship (sorta), and of course the pokemon depicted are gijinkas!

The table was set. 

Delicious food ranging from tender steaks, to lamb chops, to crab legs and other seafood with a wide array of sides and snacks covered the table completely. This was…probably not even enough to satisfy him completely, but it was the best she could do with what was available. She had a feeling he'd be having a little extra dessert afterwards, but…this was a reward for a battle well-fought. He did the best, and her team was always made to feel special for doing so.

Celeste didn't have to wait long- the smell of food always attracted the Reuniclus, who floated right into the dining room with a lazy, hungry smile on his face. "Woah-ho-ho~! A whole feast for me, Lessie? I think I just died n' went to heaven, heh heh~"  Celeste just smiled, watching as her childhood friend eyed the bountiful feast before him. "You know the way it works, Ribo! You perform well, you eat well! Whatever you want, you can have." A sly smile spreads upon his face. "Whatever I want, eh…? Oh, I've got myself a greeeaaat idea, heheh…" 

In a literal flash, Celeste found herself standing near the table's leg. He's gotten a lot snappier about using Minimize- and his telekinesis gently lifted his small trainer up to his smug face. "As much as I'd love to claim my prize now…I can't let this food go to waste! You can have the best seat in the house while I feast, how's about that lil' Lessie?" She sighs, rolling her eyes. She figured he'd want to devour her too, but this was his victory meal… "Alright Ribo, whatever. You're letting all the things I made get cold!"

Making a satisfied hum, the Reuniclus cradles his trainer in his squishy jellylike hands as he settles himself into a chair situated in front of all the food, letting her rest in his lap right in front of his stomach. It was audible how hungry he was, it growled and whined pathetically as if he hadn't eaten all day. That was quick to change- Ribo wasted no time in digging into his feast, and the quiet of the room was overtaken by the sounds of his gorging. Being where she is it was easy to hear- the smacking of his lips, every gulp and swallow he took, and the gurgling of his stomach as it started to fill with food. He really knew how to pack it away…

Celeste's mind wandered as he ate. She was going to be part of that at some point- she had no idea how he could fit that much food into him and still have room for a person, but Ribo had always been a big eater for as long as she’s known him. He somehow managed to stay rail-thin despite his constant gorging…maybe psychic types had particularly strong digestive systems to keep up with their energy demands. She wasn’t particularly worried about being eaten either, despite the risks that came with being eaten alive. He’s done it before and while it got her clothes dirty, she was ultimately unharmed. He claimed he could only feel full once he had swallowed her, but she had the feeling he had just developed a taste for his trainer at some point…

Speaking of that…a rumble rippled its way across her back. His stomach was full enough to press against her already? She hadn’t zoned out for long, but when Celeste turned she was greeted with his rounded gut starting to peek out from beneath his shirt. The sounds of digestion were audible, his stomach busily burbled and gurgled as it worked at his meal. Ribo leaned back as he started to chug a bottle of soda, and Celeste could just barely hear it fizzing as it collected inside his stomach. He belched as the bottle was emptied, and his stomach bubbled with carbonation. She opted to work her little hands into his stomach, kneading out a few extra belches and satisfied hums and moans from her pokemon. She won’t have to worry about too many belches squeezing her now…she turned around and let herself rest against his belly again, with the sounds of digestion overtaking her thoughts. But now that she thinks about it, he's been awful quiet after that…

Ribo's hand came suddenly, scooping her up in one smooth movement and holding her up in front of his face. He slowly licked his lips, smiling as he cast his hungry gaze on her. “Heeeey~ Guess who's got room for dessert? And guess who's lookin’ like dessert…”Celeste took this opportunity to look back at the table, seeing that he somehow managed to pack away most of that feast she made. “Ribo, I just don't know how your stomach does it. That was enough food for four people!” Her companion beamed proudly, with his stomach echoing the sentiment with a loud grumble. “That's a trade secret, eheheh! Say, why don't you ask it in person? But…mm…you could be bigger…”

He set her down again, right on top of his belly as his eyes glowed. Her size shifted once more, only growing large enough to just barely wrap her arms around his stuffed gut. “Mm~ Much better, wouldn't ya say Lessie? Dessert's got to be the cherry on top after all!” Both of his hands came to lift her up, positioning her above his head with her looking down at him. “Come on, Ribo…it's not like you to draw out mealtime.”“Oh?” One of his slimy horns twitched. “You're making it sound like you want to be inside, heheh~ Your wish is my command, my lady~”

His tone was playful and teasing, Celeste couldn't help but flush at his callout. Ribo’s maw opened wide beneath her, his tongue wiggling playfully as he began to lower her inside. His tongue traveled up her legs; a pleased hum vibrated around them as his mouth closed. The tasting continued for a moment before he suddenly swallowed, pulling her lower half and most of her torso into his mouth and down his throat. She kept still for now- he mostly loved a struggle once she was entirely sealed inside. He was really taking his time, holding her there for a minute or two before opening up to swallow again. His trainer sunk deeper into him, with her head being the last thing left to swallow. Faintly, she can feel fingers press against her from outside…and with a final, deep gulp, she was pulled down his gullet. The slide down was slow- he didn't bother with actively swallowing anymore, instead opting to let peristalsis do all the work. Gently, Celeste was pulled down past his excitedly thumping heart, and she could hear his busy stomach beginning to approach.

It felt like forever, but she was finally pushed into Ribo's gut. It was mostly full of half-digested gunk, though there were definitely whole chunks of food he gulped down in here. There wasn't a lot of room to start with, and the chyme reached her chest, but she pushed and squirmed around in an effort to settle in. The contents of his stomach sloshed around with her movements, grumbling and burbling noisily as its meal got comfortable. “Oooh~ aah, mmgh…Lessie…” He moaned in stuffed bliss, hands already pressing against his stomach to knead and massage it. “You fill me so good…~”

Someone sounded happy. Good, that was the point of all this. A belch suddenly rippled out of him, causing his churning stomach to close in tight for a moment. The walls relented only slightly, pushing against her as it worked on processing all of this food. Celeste reached out, pressing her hands into the folds of his gut to help it along. “Ohh, perfect.…good girl, that's the spot…” The Reuniclus reclined there for a short while, resting his hands on his stomach and just enjoying the feeling of being full. Any outsiders could clearly tell by his large round stomach and the loud sounds of digestion that he had a large meal to sleep off, and the gentle movement and bumps from inside meant it was particularly lively…but to her surprise, she could feel movement after a while of thinking he had fallen asleep.

“Mmh, so sleepy…let's go enjoy you somewhere more private, hm?”

He stood up, his gut sloshing and rocking as he moved. Celeste's world rocked around her, but the steady rhythm of the stomach walls shifting and compressing didn't let up an inch. Ribo moved slowly though the movement stirred up a couple belches; his destination was a hammock set outside in the sun. He carefully settled inside, unbuttoning his pants to let his gut expand as he laid down. The extra room wasn't much for his dinner guest when she was sharing space with a pool of half-digested food, but her new resting position wasn't bad. 

The sunlight against his stomach helped stir up digestion even more, making his belly warm and active. On the outside he slowly rubbed and kneaded his stomach, swaying in the hammock. The heat and movement was relaxing, and she knew she'd be released eventually…slipping into a food coma with her lifelong companion wasn't a bad idea.

[kafus]

ok i've decided i want to infodump about vee and nova a little after all! because uhh not only am i impatient because autism but i also. want to dip my toes into talking about this. just days ago i was still terrified but now i am Tentatively Brave... if i can talk about it here casually like this then i should be able to write a more formal summary later some other time

i've tagged this post appropriately (at least i think i have, feel free to suggest if i should add more) but also a heads up here too before i keep talking that while i'm not going into graphic detail on anything there are STRONG themes of organized sexual abuse of a child, sexual abuse of animals, and grooming! (there are no disturbing visuals in this post, just text)

IF YOU CAN'T READ THIS POST THAT'S OKAY I STILL LOVE U

takes a deep breath alright so the deal with these two. back all the way in 2021, i decided i wanted to make "vent ocs" as in i just wanted some concrete/consistent designs i could use in vent art drawings that weren't a direct reflection of what i envision myself to look like or whatever. i was going through a lot in 2021, in december 2020 i had just gotten my first big repressed memory back and my life was in a whirlwind of change and heavily increased PTSD and DID symptoms, so i was using art a lot as an outlet. in the end i settled on this drawing, based on the design taste i would have had as a young person (god the quality is so old now LOL i've improved a lot but anyway)

i was intending for these two to be just visual designs and nothing more than that but i got attached and actually ended up giving them a whole storyline and everything, which is something i admittedly hadn't done in a long time up to that point so that's cool.

the reason i preface explaining the premise of the storyline with this is because i think it's important to acknowledge that these two are intrinsically tied with my real life and the feelings i experience as a CSA/OA survivor. not because i think someone has to go through awful things to write or draw about them necessarily, but because i am passionate about expressing myself. it's important for me to be seen in some way, to be heard after years of silence. it is not safe for me mentally to share the exact details of my abuse online rn (and please don't ask for them!) but i also don't want these two to be removed from the message that i survived something and this is me making art about that in an abstracted and magical way with a fictional universe that brings me a lot of comfort. i hope this makes sense lol

oh and also with that in mind if you think for even a second any of this is a weird sex thing for me or some shit please stop reading this post and go do something else with your time. this is my trauma expression and i don't need to be compared to the people i was abused by when i was a literal toddler thank you!

AANYWAY so! premise! gonna be point blank with it! vee (not her original name but shh) is born as a normal 100% human girl, aka without the eevee ears and tail. she is groomed from a very young age (like, toddler age) and eventually abducted by her groomers which happen to be members of... well right now it's team rocket because i haven't spent the time to worldbuild a new villainous pokemon organization yet. roll with me here. she is taken to a remote facility out in the middle of fucking nowhere and is never returned to her previous life or family.

Why? well i'm glad you asked! the org is running a bunch of different experiments in this facility and one of them happens to be trying to enable humans reproducing with pokemon. this doubles as both a money thing and a power thing. they seek out a child as the victim of these horrible experiments because children are easily malleable. way easier to control a child than an adult who already has a firm identity/self.

vee is the child they chose. surgery is forcibly done on her to give her working eevee ears and tail, and also like, fuck with her body chemistry and stuff. she's biologically part eevee now. yes this is bullshit pokemon magic science LMAO but she is kept in this facility and chronically sexually abused for a few years by pairing her with various mons and trying to get eggs to happen.

the experiment isn't working though so they hypothesize that giving her a dedicated partner, especially of the same evolutionary line, would help, and they raise nova from birth as an eevee to take on that role. eventually the two of them are paired together. despite the acts they are forced to commit on each other and the abuse they endure, they actually become inseparable very quickly cause like. they don't have anyone else. and also they just genuinely care about each other. additionally at this point nova has evolved into an espeon and has telepathic powers, so him and vee can communicate linguistically with each other, so you know that helps

generally my current focus of this story is in the early years, when vee is 12 and younger, before they start realizing that shit is fucked up and they need to escape (up until that hypothetical point they have been successfully groomed into believing everything happening to them was not abuse/was normal). i have left out a metric fuckton of detail here just to get across the basic premise. i am constantly exploring vee's psyche, nova's psyche, it's like an in depth exploration of the mind of an abused child in horrific circumstances and god it's cathartic. i love these two so fucking much

btw i guess this art has more context now huh haha after i infodumped off the plot to my sister they looked at this art again and was like. OHHH THIS IS EVEN MORE OMINOUS AND HARD TO LOOK AT WITH CONTEXT. AND I WAS LIKE YEAH!!!! YOU SEE THE VISION!!! THE SYMBOLISM!! ETC!!!!

uh yeah if you read this far thank you and i just wanna say i've been building up the courage to talk about these two for GENUINELY two years, it has been over 2 full years since that initial drawing, and i am nervous and jittery posting this but i do not want to die without having shared my work with the world and i'm willing to take the risks to get my voice out there. so you reading it is very much appreciated ur like my first step into being more confident as a survivor lol

oh and fwiw despite these guys being so correlated with my trauma it's not offensive to make headcanons or ask me questions about them or compliment darker art of them however you want, in fact i love that shit!! please i've been holding these guys back for two years i have so much to say that hasn't been said. as much as i am nervous i am EXCITED

nobori niisan is fucking jacked

pokemon / blankshipping / wc: 2278 / warnings: NSFT, inc.st / notes: takes place in a universe where ingo comes back after PLA. i'm coming out as a brocon enjoyer. / consider commissioning me!

Ingo coming back was… unexpected.

The first week or so was a strange, intense adjustment period. Ingo slowly remembering things, coming back to himself, and resuming his position as one of the two Subway Masters at Gear Station. Was he doing particularly well in battles? Well, relatively, with the occasional slip up when he would cross, say, a Lilligant or Sneasel. (Apparently, Pokemon typing was different, several hundred years ago.) For all intents and purposes, though, Ingo was the challenging Subway Master he had always been.

It was refreshing, for Emmet, to see him fall back into the role so easily. Subways didn’t even exist in ancient Sinnoh, so when he learned of his brother’s fate, he grew concerned that Ingo might never return to his position. Gear Station wasn’t the same without him, and Emmet couldn’t possibly run every line by himself. Ingo taking back over the single line, and both of them working together on the multi line– it was good. It was like nothing changed at all.

Things definitely did change, though. It was nice, while battling, to pretend that everything was the same as always, but in their personal lives, things were different.

Emmet still had bouts of paranoia, anxiety attacks wherein he shook and sobbed (and, sometimes, would even yell,) begging Ingo to not leave again. Ingo, occasionally, would forget he had come back at all– using the wrong move against a Sneasel, that’s one thing, one small thing. Sometimes, though, Ingo would wake far earlier than either typically would, and would dress himself to go out. When questioned, Ingo would always reply, “I must find Lady Sneasler.” And then Emmet, shaky, would calmly explain that no, no he does not need to find Lady Sneasler, and he would lead Ingo back to bed. Their personal lives were different. But that, that was all personal, things that only the two of them would ever notice.

There was, however, a difference which, to Emmet’s sheer frustration, everyone seemed to notice.

Ingo is fucking built now.

This is fantastic and great for Emmet. When Emmet saw this, it made him overjoyed– downright ecstatic, even. Ingo is built. He’s big and strong and tough, and it’s all for him. Ingo can come out of the shower and Emmet can see every muscle, clean and defined. No one else can really see that.

They can, however, see perfectly fine through his clothes.

The first time something happens, it’s a cold December evening, about three weeks after Ingo first got back. Unova was no stranger to cold weather, and no one was interested in walking or biking when there was clearly a snowstorm on the horizon. The subway was a preferable– and far warmer– option. So, naturally, the station was packed. Every worker was busy, with the twins being no exception.

Of course, it is the perfect time for something to go wrong. Wrong for Emmet, anyway.

Ingo and Emmet discuss quietly amongst themselves, or as quietly as they can, against the clamour of the busy station. It is during this that a woman taps on Ingo’s shoulder, drawing both his and Emmet’s attention. She’s a bit shorter than them both, rather slim, and frankly, quite pretty. A Boltund trots around her feet. “Excuse me,” she starts, thankfully polite, “I know now probably isn’t the best time, but would you be interested in getting dinner sometime?”

Emmet’s eyes widen. In the back of his mind, he can hear the sound of shattering glass.

“I’m very sorry,” Ingo apologizes simply, also sounding extremely polite (because when isn’t he, really,) “but we’re very busy this season. I’m afraid I’ll need to decline!”

The last bit is a little loud, which is likely a bit mortifying for the woman, but Emmet can’t feel very bad for her at the moment. He just got Ingo back, he is not letting some lady just steal him away again. He’s thankful for Ingo’s quick response, and the lady nods in understanding before she and her Boltund scuttle away. Simple, easy, done.

Surely this will not become a pattern, Emmet hoped.

The second time it happens, the snow has died down, and the station is a bit less busy than in the evenings of December. Valentine's day is around the corner, and advertisements with cute Pokemon, chocolate and flowers are plastered around the station. A woman makes a comment, as she is boarding, about how muscular Ingo is. Ingo, embarrassed, declines her as he did the woman prior, while Emmet glares at her from behind him the entire time.

When Valentine’s day actually rolls around, Ingo is propositioned again. And again. And again.

Emmet is losing his mind.

The last straw is when a drunk woman, after (as with others before her) commenting on Ingo’s muscularity, attempted to reach out and touch him. In that moment, Emmet decided he had had enough, doing the declining for Ingo, before grabbing his twin by the wrist and pulling him away from the scene. (And, also, releasing a Joltik to do whatever it may please [electrocute her.])

“You need to stop being muscular immediately,” Emmet hisses, pulling Ingo away. “Or we need to ban people who flirt with you.”

Ingo grimaces. “Emmet, we can’t ban people for harmless flirting. Were they to attempt to touch me, in any way–”

“She did,” Emmet spits, “that woman did try and touch you. And she is drunk. And she should be banned.”

Ingo glances off. “I did not notice, to be honest.” He pauses, clearing his throat. “Me losing muscle mass, also, would take some time. I would need to stop exercising completely to go back to how I was before, which is improbable if not impossible, considering our duties at the station.” Emmet continues to pull Ingo along as he explains this. After a moment of Emmet grumbling under his breath, Ingo tacks on, “where exactly are we going?”

“We are going to our office,” Emmet states simply.

“Emmet, we are busy!” Ingo shouts, growing a bit frustrated. “We don’t have time to–”

Emmet stops, turning in his tracks to face Ingo momentarily. He is still smiling, as he always is, but he’s also very clearly on-edge. “We. Are going. To our office.”

Ingo swallows. “You’re being ridiculous.”

Emmet continues dragging him along. “Would you rather I kiss you in front of everyone?”

“Emmet!” Ingo shouts, “is that what this is?!”

“Ingo is mine,” Emmet says quietly, as they reach their office. “Everyone keeps flirting with Ingo. They don’t know. I will make it known that Ingo is taken.”

The door swings open, and Ingo sighs, moving in to sit in his office chair as Emmet closes the door behind them. He, notably, does not turn on the lights. “Emmet, this is really–”

He’s cut off when Emmet quickly approaches and promptly plants his ass in Ingo’s lap. Ingo’s volume picks up a bit as he begins stammering, while Emmet begins to make work of undoing his tie. The office chair creaks under their combined weight, and distantly, Emmet wonders if maybe now, with Ingo’s muscle, if the chair will be able to handle it. He quickly shifts focus, however, throwing Ingo’s undone tie behind him, onto the floor.

“Em-Emmet,” Ingo just barely lets out, his brain finally seeming to catch up to his mouth. “This is– we’re at work.”

“People should not have flirted with Ingo at work,” is Emmet’s simple reply, as he begins to undo the buttons of Ingo’s shirt. Despite his slight attempts at protesting, Ingo does not move to remove Emmet from his lap, and instead moves his hand up to cover the bottom half of his face, both in attempt to muffle his moans and to hide the blush growing on his cheeks.

Emmet undoes just enough to reveal Ingo’s neck and his pectorals, the same fucking pecs that people keep flirting with him about. He moves forward, and carefully, gently bites at the spot where Ingo’s neck meets his shoulders, sucking on the skin there. Ingo lets out a whine at the feeling, not quiet enough to truly be muffled by his hand, and it encourages Emmet to suck a bit harder. After a moment, he gives that spot a lick, causing Ingo to shudder, and Emmet moves to a different spot.

“Em– Emmet,” Ingo breathes, really trying to keep his voice down, as he moves his arms to wrap around the other, gripping at Emmet’s coat. “Emmet–”

“Ingo is mine,” Emmet says, between licks and bites. “He was mine before. He is mine now. Nothing will change this.”

“Ri-right,” Ingo says, “yours. Yours, Emmet. And you’re mine.”

“No one will take Ingo from me.”

“No one,” Ingo agrees. “No one, I– Emmet–”

Between his thighs, almost directly next to his crotch, Emmet can feel something gently poking him. He looks down, noticing a tent forming in Ingo’s slacks. “Oh,” Emmet lets out, and moves one hand to palm at the other’s member through the pants. “You like this.”

Ingo clears his throat. “Of course I do,” he lets out, a bit quieter than he had previously been. He’s embarrassed. “Emmet, please don’t tease me.”

Quickly, while pressing a kiss to Ingo’s chest, Emmet reaches both hands down, unbuckling his twins belt and removing it from each belt loop, throwing it aside, likely to wherever the tie ended up. Once it’s removed, he unbuttons Ingo’s pants, sliding them, as well as his boxers, down just enough to let the black-clad man’s cock hit the air of the shared office. Ingo shakes as it is suddenly freed, letting out a gasp, and then he bites down on his bottom lip, attempting (and only slightly failing) to muffle a loud moan as Emmet wraps a hand around it. The one part of Ingo that remains blessedly unchanged after years apart.

“You need to be quiet, Ingo,” Emmet starts, smirking against his skin. “We are at work.”

“Emmet,” Ingo grips his coat a bit tighter, “You are the one who insisted on us doing this during work hours!”

“You like it though,” Emmet states, and begins moving his hand up and down, setting a steady rhythm. It serves to draw more moans from Ingo, which said man desperately tries to muffle, biting his lips. “See? You like it verrrry much.”

Ingo doesn’t respond verbally, instead rolling his hips into Emmet’s touch as the twin moves to give him another hickey, right where his neck meets his chin. Through a fog of lust, Ingo recognizes that this is an awful spot for Emmet to put a hickey– in fact, it is the worst spot for Emmet to put a hickey. It’s the only area which is uncovered both by the collar of his shirt and the collar of his coat. Every other spot could easily be hidden, but this? This wouldn’t work. People could see. Ingo tries to voice this, but all that comes out is another broken moan, as he slowly but surely loses grip on his ability to keep quiet with what’s happening.

“So good,” Emmet breathes, right against that same spot, the breath so hot in contrast to the rather cool air of the office that it causes Ingo to jump. “You are doing so good.” He then licks it, and Ingo gasps as Emmet picks up his pace, up and down, up and down, as the white-clad man’s other hand caresses Ingo’s chest. “You’re twitching in my hand.”

Ingo shakes, hips bucking up against his control. Still, he grips Emmet’s coat. “Emmet,” he can just barely let out, “Emmet, I’m– I’m–”

“Are you close, Ingo?” Emmet asks, and his twin nods furiously. “Are you going to cum on my hand?”

“Yes,” Ingo breathes, “yes, yes, Emmet, Emmy, I’m– I’m–!”

Riiiip.

Emmet’s eyes widen, as do Ingo’s, as he fully loses control of himself, convulsing against the other, indeed, cumming into his hand, letting out what can only be defined as a yell as his whole body tenses, untenses, tenses, untenses. Emmet is so enraptured by this sight in front of him that it is almost enough to distract him from how cold his back suddenly feels.

With the hand that is not covered in his twin’s cum, Emmet reaches behind himself, feeling for– ah. Yup, there it is.

“My coat,” he lets out weakly.

Ingo’s eyes are still wide open, as even through his post-orgasmic haze, he seems entirely aware of what happened. “I am so sorry,” he starts. “I am– oh, Arceus. I am so sorry, I didn’t– I wasn’t trying to–”

“You’re strong,” Emmet lets out, a bit of mirth creeping into his voice. “Ingo is strong.”

“I didn’t mean to,” Ingo grimaces.

Emmet first removes his hand from Ingo’s dick, and then removes his cum-stained glove, and finally removes his coat, examining the rip. Ingo squirms a bit as he does this, straightening himself out (putting his dick away) before Emmet finally says, “I love it.”

Ingo blinks. “What?”

“I love it,” Emmet repeats. “I am going to hang it on our wall.”

Stern, Ingo replies, “you are not hanging it on our wall.”

“It is proof,” Emmet starts. “Proof that your muscles are mine and no one will steal you from me.”

Ingo looks up at Emmet, clearing his throat, and he glances around a bit before returning his gaze to the white-clad man. “That was already true,” he states. “No one is going to take you from me, or me from you. I love you.”

Emmet blushes, looking at Ingo, and then back down at the coat. “I still want to hang it on the wall.”

“Please don’t.”

I saw you write for sword and shield so I require like…atleast ONE lil fluffy fic for Piers perhaps with cuddles?

(I apologize if this is incoherent, I rushed here as fast as I could)

Don't worry, it's fine! Here's a lil Piers fluff for you (plus a clingy Obstagoon)

..........

'The audacity....' The dark gym leader frowned in dismay at his Obstagoon, who teasingly stuck its tongue out before closing its eyes. It was currently curled up against you, head resting on your chest as you gave the top of it gentle scritches.

You were just watching the latest match between Leon and Raihan on television, asking your boyfriend's ace who it wanted to see win this time.

But...it didn't seem to care much about the battle nor the outcome, as it ended up dozing off during the opening whilst snuggled comfortably in your arms.

Not long afterwards, Piers returned home to your shared apartment after hosting a fan meetup--one that was particularly exhausting as he was trying to put rumors that he's dating someone to rest. Neither of you were ready to tell the media just yet.

Alongside signing so much merch and taking seemingly endless selfies with his fans....it was all extremely draining. He didn't think he'd get this amount of attention when Spikemuth reopened, so it got overwhelming fast.

All he wanted to do now was cuddle with the person he loved most as thanks for watching his Pokemon while he was out..yet even after coming back into the living room in comfier clothes, Obstagoon still didn't release its hold on you, much to his ire.

It sure retained the same old habits it had as a little Zigzagoon. Piers remembered how it was always running around his heels, only to do a complete 180 in personality and become unusually calm and clingy in your presence.

There was just a certain aura to you that made it feel at ease. As it evolved, it continued remembering that it didn't need to put up some loud and tough persona whenever you were around.

You made it feel safe, and so it could lower its guard.

Piers didn't mind that at all.

What he did mind was the fact that it was being a little shit right at this very moment, knowing damn well he wanted to spend the rest of the night with you.

He was half a second away from giving his ace another earful, only to pause as you muttered something to the Blocking Pokémon. You were so quiet he didn't hear a word you said, and he quirked an eyebrow in confusion.

Moments later, Obstagoon just...let go of you and got up from the couch, crossing its arms and huffing. But it stuck its tongue back into its mouth as it shuffled over to one of the lounge chairs, sitting there and staring at the TV.

And just like that..you were free. No objections.

"Thanks, Obstagoon. 'ppreciate it."

Looking up, you smiled innocently at Piers as he sat beside you, still a bit annoyed. "Welcome home, love. How were your fans today?"

"Alright, I suppose." He sighed, shoulders eventually slumping with newfound exhaustion. "Had to tell them to cool it on the camera flashes...gave me a bloody migraine.."

"Awh..you poor, poor thing." You put your arms out to him. "C'mere, unless you want Obstagoon to-"

"No." Almost immediately he cuddled up to you, burying his head into your shoulder as his arms snaked their way around your torso. "He's gotten enough tlc from you tonight. It's my turn."

His gaze landed on the huffy Obstagoon sitting nearby, who gave him the old "stink eye" in return before focusing back on the television.

You just chuckled, stroking his hair as he eventually shut his eyes, slowly but surely forgetting about the stresses of the fan meetup and every other responsibility he had.

It's obvious you've stoked some kind of rivalry between a Pokémon and its trainer, though you weren't going to tease him about it anymore tonight.

He deserved to relax.

Be Nice To Me (The Front Bottoms)

I got boulders on my shoulders/Collar bones begin to crack/There is very little left of me and it's never coming back/There are certain things you ask of me/There are certain things I lack/The beginning, we were winning/Now we're just making up facts

"It's got a perfect mix of strained vocals, burned-out honors student vibes, and desperation to be heard and listened to for *once* when no one wanted to listen before. He's tired, and angry, and the fact that the title is just "Be Nice to Me" says a lot. The singer wants a break and for the world to be kind for a while and it's not intend on letting that happen. also roark pokemon vibes."

Sleep (My Chemical Romance)

A drink for the horror that I'm in/For the good guys and the bad guys/For the monsters that I've been/Three cheers for tyranny/Unapologetic apathy/'Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again

"OK THIS IS REALLY PERSONAL TO ME but I discovered this song during a Difficult Time Of My Life and I was dealing with suuuuuper bad insomnia. And I was having tons of nightmares when I DID sleep and was hallucinating almost constantly when I couldn't. So when I heard this song for the first time shit just clicked into place for me and it genuinely did help me sleep a bit better [and eventually I did get better & the hallucinations stopped!] but that intro, talking about night terrors, and the whole vibes through the song talking about The Horrors the character in the song is going through & just how hard shit is for them, like. Yeah relatable at the time HFHDJSDJ Also opening with pianos and then immediately going into guitars?? Amazing truly. 10/10. Not to mention the vocals it's all so mood"

Dandadan Episode 1 Review - Ghosts Vs Aliens

October is considered the spooky season, so Dandadan is perfect for the vibes. It’s a good mix of comedy and horror that you don’t get too often in anime. The animation quality was super unique and I really like what was presented!

The story is about two people named Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura, commonly known as Okarun. Momo is a girl who likes guys like her celebrity crush Ken Takakura (an olden day Japanese actor, sort of like Clint Eastwood), but she has a good heart when she defends Okarun from bullies in his class. However, Okarun believed she likes occult things like UFOs and extraterrestrial phenomena. While Momo does believe in the occult, she doesn’t believe in aliens but in ghosts. However, Okarun doesn’t believe in ghosts, so the two decide to challenge the other to see which supernatural existence actually exists by going to occult hotspots. Little do they know that both exist.

The premiere was super quirky in the sense that we get character building first from Momo and Okarun and then all the action and supernatural stuff happens at the end. I like that, honestly! It’s nice to learn who these two are. Momo has extremely high standards in men due to her ideal type being her celeb crush, but still has a good heart in that she defends Okarun and also hates people insulting her grandmother. Okarun may seem meek, but he does come around at the end saying that he wants to protect Momo as she was the one who stood up for him when no one else did.

Now for the action and supernatural part…that was crazy. Man, it’s nice to see a supernatural show where both ghosts and aliens exist. I feel like this story is one where they explore the existence of other paranormal creatures and not stick to a specific type. I like that! Though, it was sort of scary seeing these creatures move around! The Turbo Granny was by far the scene-stealer. Who’d ever think that you’d actually meet a lewd granny in a tunnel saying that she’d let you suck her t*ts in exchange for your balls. Then, there are very creepy aliens wanting to r*pe females because their species cannot reproduce. They even have a grotesque form underneath their default form. However, it was interesting that the person who believed in aliens got entangled with the ghost and the person who doesn’t believe in aliens got entangled with them.

I really like the animation! It’s really floppy in the sense that the characters are always moving around. I haven’t really watched a Science Saru anime, but if this is what they produce, I should reconsider and start watching more of their stuff. Even for mundane stuff like Momo walking towards Okarun is fluid in movement. The action scenes were also well animated in that it goes really fast. This anime feels like a roller coaster in a sense in that it slows in the beginning and then goes fast after a certain point. If the premiere is this good, I do wonder what will transpire for the rest of the show.

I love the music! The OST was amazing and I loved the opening! Creepy Nuts had a hit song with the Mashle opening in Winter, but I think they hit another home run. The song for this show is a lot different from the Mashle dance, but it’s really good and hits the vibes of the show! My favorite part is Momo doing the shimmy with Okarun and another guy doing the Carlton in the back. The ending song is good too! Though, I do wonder who that cat is…

The voice acting cast was really good! Like I mentioned in my Blue Box review that Jump title animes usually cast new faces for their animes at times, but like Demon Slayer, Dandadan uses a plethora of big names for their production. The only “new face” in the cast list is Shion Wakayama. Well, I wouldn’t call her a new face, but more of a rising star in the sense that I’ve seen her in other stuff before this. I usually associate with her with soft-spoken girls because of her roles in The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses and Pokemon Paldean Winds where she played characters who are reserved. This is the first time I’ve seen her with a more ‘boyish’ and talkative role. I actually like this voice she’s using for Momo! It feels natural and there’s so much emotion. Natsuki Hanae voices Okarun. Given his track record, Hane never has a bad role. I honestly think this role is perfect for him because of the amount of screaming. If you watch Demon Slayer and seen how many times Tanjiro screams, then you know Okarun is perfect for Hanae.

There are super big names in this anime too. The one role that shocked me the most was Mayumi Tanaka as Turbo Granny. The one and only Mayumi Tanaka is known for her roles as Krillin from Dragon Ball and Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece. Yes, Turbo Granny and Luffy are voiced by the same person. I remembered an episode where Luffy didn’t want to give his balls to the Amazoness Tribe and now Tanaka is playing a granny ghost that bites others’ balls. Luffy would be shocked to see this like how he was shocked with how Robin got Franky to join the Strawhats. The aliens Momo encounter are all voiced by Kazuya Nakai. If you’re a One Piece fan, he’s the fan-favorite Roronoa Zoro. Yes. It’s hilarious how Luffy and Zoro are playing roles completely different from their One Piece roles and even their usual roles! It’s really nice to see that even at the prime of their career, they try new things! Another surprise was Nana Mizuki as Momo’s grandmother. Another One Piece voice actress in this anime! Mizuki voiced Hiyori from the Wano arc. Momo’s grandma isn’t seen much, so I can’t wait to see what sort of person she is later on.

The English dub cast is crazy too! Momo and Okarun are voiced by Abby Trott and AJ Beckles, who are both good rising stars in the English dubbing world. However, the name that shocked me the most was Kari Wahlgren as Momo’s grandma. Wahlgren is a union voice actress, meaning that she doesn’t appear in anime all that often nowadays with the last time I’ve heard her in anime was in Durarara as Celty. It’s crazy how she made her big anime comeback in a big show like this! If you like English dub, then this is one you shouldn’t miss out on!

I honestly can’t wait for what happens next. Will Okarun get his balls back? The fact that the plot progression is due to his missing balls is funny in itself. I hope he can get them back… If Momo has psychic powers, what will Okarun have? I want to know! What are your thoughts about the premiere?
