#and this dark red kinda looks cooler than the original pink

[kousuisetsu]

final fantasy type-0 abilities:

Sice ➟ Death Maelstrom + Dark Nebula.

[firaknight]

So this is basically PMD x Kirby

(Here’s a key: pink is the name of the character, green is the Pokemon they chose, blue means male, pink means female, purple is the description of design changes)

So, before I explain who gets who, Adeleine sets up a few rules/guidelines for everyone.

1: The couch. Adeleine and Ribbon live in a cottage on the outskirts of town and therefore have a small house. When everyone’s there, she has a set seating system: tall people (DDD, herself, Daroach, etc) have to sit on the couch or in the general back. Short people (basically everyone else) sit in front of the couch and around the floor (she gives them pillows and floor seats of course)

2: No repeats! It’s to help her remember and also to not cause confusion or arguments. Nobody gets to have the same Pokemon as someone else (the only exception being if they plan to evolve them into a branching evolution, like Gardevoir and Gallade in the Ralts line)

3: Personalize! Everyone gets to add design changes to theirs (cut ear, different patterns, accessories, etc) to make them their own! They also assign genders to theirs and if they can’t decide, dice are rolled. Odds for male, evens for female (they can choose not to, but the vast majority were like “yeah whatever let’s just give them a gender”).

Ok onto the actual Pokemon

Adeleine: Chikorita, female, wears a scarf (part of the in-game story) and has a multicolored head leaf! Also had a small crystal hanging from her neck!

She saw the design and called them a “tiny dinosaur with a big leaf” and immediately decided on them. She loves them to death and thinks they’re the cutest Pokemon on the planet.

Ribbon: Fennekin, female, wears a scarf (part of the in-game story), has fur that is more pink than red, and wears a huge red bow! Also has a small crystal hanging from her neck!

Couldn’t choose the same Pokemon as Adeleine and thought Fennekin looked beautiful (she was even more excited when she saw the final evolution). She also has a type matchup with Adeleine and absolutely takes bullets for her to keep her from dying.

Kirby: Eevee, female, white fur is tinted pink, has blue eyes instead of brown, and wears bunch of colorful accessories like bows, bracelets/anklets, and collars!

Couldn’t decide on the gender and the dice rolled female! He doesn’t care and loves his Eevee!!! He likes how soft they look and how they have different evolution!! It’s like his copy abilities!!! He’s stuck trying to figure out what to evolve them into tho.

Dedede: Piplup, male, wears a big robe and hat, body is a slightly darker and more vibrant blue, and is a little chubbier!

He convinced Adeleine to take on a more difficult dungeon request for this (she got a big dinner at the royal table and got to stay the night in one of the royal rooms out of it though so it was worth it) and after a near 2 hour run and almost 3 game overs, she got it. Dedede only wanted it because it’s the only penguin Pokemon in the series and he wanted a big penguin like himself!!!

Meta Knight: Ralts (Gallade), male, wears a mask like his own, has more jagged blades, and wears a cape!

Only picked them because they saw Gallade and said “yeah that’s gonna be me” and didn’t wait for an answer. He likes their arm blades and the fact that they have a mega evolution (even BIGGER blades!!!!!!! A big tattered cape!!!!!! Badass looks!!!!! What’s not to like!!!!)

Bandee: Karrablast, male, wears a blue bandana, body is orange instead of blue, stomach is cream instead of orange, and has a tiny spear (this is later removed when they evolve)!!!

They saw Escavalier and got super excited!! Double spear arms!!! Armored and tough looking!!! They like how tough they look and 100% chose them for that reason only (although the Pokemon kinda grew on them over time). Not ultra tough right now but they’re getting there!

Marx: Sableye, male, gems are basically mirrors, wears a jester cap like his own, and has only 2 claws instead of 3!!

He likes how fucking creepy they look and how their mega evolution has teeth. It’s a very specific detail they will absolutely drill into why they like them so much. They also like how powerful they can be if used correctly!

Gooey: Goomy, female, body is shades of blue instead of purple, has a tongue that noticeably sticks out!!

He originally wanted Ditto but then they saw Goomy and felt a certain kind of love for them. He also couldn’t decide and the dice rolled female! He likes how the name is similar to his own and how they’re goopy like him!!! They’re also super squishy and he is too!!!!!!

Rick: Dedenne, male, tail is shorter, body is similar in color to him, has beans!!!!!!

He likes how they’re kinda hamster-esc!! They have electricity too which is hella cool. They look kinda soft to him and he was mildly upset over them not having paw beans and demanded that Dedenne be given justice by having them drawn in (Adeleine totally agrees to this). He likes to think they’re mega soft like himself!!!

Kine: Magikarp, male, slightly flatter, blue instead of orange, larger fins!!

He couldn’t choose a Pokemon and eventually just settled on Magikarp because he thought they’d be ok. Didn’t realize they evolve into such a big Pokemon until they saw what it looked like in one of the dungeons. The keep bragging about how powerful they’re gonna be when they finally evolve, but nobody is taking him seriously because he can only use 1 move as of now and hasn’t reached a point where he can evolve yet.

Coo: Hoothoot, male, body is purple instead of brown, has spiked feathers on his head, has a softer and fluffier appearance!!!!!

It’s an owl. He wanted to be an owl. He reeeeaaallly wants to evolve because Noctowl looks way cooler but he’s fine with what he’s got for now!!! He has a speed based build because he can fly very fast :)

Dark Meta Knight: Noibat, female, monochromatic colors with some red mixed in, mask with a scar, tattered wing membrane!!!

Purposefully decided on having a femal because he thinks it kicks ass a little more (also he loves his adopted daughter and decided that would be badass too). Built like a fucking assault tank but with speed. He absolutely leads the charge when he’s playing and takes every fucking hit possible if it’s aimed at his daughter. Gloats about his badass evolution and how fucking sick it looks despite having not evolved yet.

Daroach: Sneasel, male, wears a cloak and hat like his own, has yellow and longer claws!!!!

He didn’t like any of the existing rats and said “lemme get a thief pokemon” and settled on Sneasel. They have a team called the Squeak Squad and it’s comprised of his Sneasel and the squeaks own copies of the game! They play together in their free time and Daroach had Adeleine grab him a Sneasel so he could play on her copy too.

Magolor: Inkay, male, wears a blue cloak like his own, has yellow eyes!!! (The cloak doesn’t really fit until Inkay evolves)

Physically couldn’t choose and then someone showed him Inkay and he said “oh! I fucking hate them.” It was only until they showed him Malamar that he said “oh they look like they’d backstab someone. Perfect.” He likes how fucking ominous they look and how they would 100% be a supervillain given the chance. His Inkay is a good guy tho don’t worry.

Taranza: Joltik, male, has tiny fangs and little horns that grow out when they evolve, wears a cape, has little gloves on their hands!!!

He wanted Flabebe because of the flowers but was told someone already took that one and decided he’d take a spider Pokemon! Almost settled on Ariados but then saw Galvantula and got super excited. He likes their fuzzy look and thinks they are a lovely Pokemon!!

Susie: Gothita, female, eyes are gradient blue with no pupils, has pink accents on the head, more modern appearance!!

She couldn’t find any pretty ones with tech on them but liked Gothita! She thinks they look ok and Adeleine was nice enough to invite her over for PMD game day so she joined in. Her Gothita is surprisingly beastly and is a heavy hitter! However she also gets her ass kicked really fast because Gothita isn’t built for up close heavy hitting.

Zan Partizanne: Shinx, female, wears the same clothes as her, has more yellow on her!!

She really liked how Shinx looks. Tiny electric kitty puppy thing! She wanted to name it after some kind of thunder deity but wasn’t able to (she probably had a name for it tho). Speedy little powerhouse who looks adorable. Continues to tell Adeleine that she’s only doing this to repay her debt (and also for insulting her hairline) but is really just enjoying herself.

Flamberge: Fletchling, female, wears the hat and ribbon-like shawl, has spiked feathers that stick up a lot like her hair, more vibrant red!!!

She fucking loves this little bird. Like. A lot. Something about them is just so awesome to her. Maybe it’s because it evolves into a giant fire falcon but who knows! She just loves them and cherishes them with all her heart. BEGGED Adeleine to recruit them and managed to convince her (she had to offer up making her a cool sword to get it. Adeleine accepted the deal almost immediately because cool ass sword).

Francisca: Vanillite, female, wears the hat and shawl, has more vibrant blue, ice cream part is the same color as her hair!!!

You know exactly why she chose this one. Ice cream baby!!!!!!!! She thinks they’re lovely and wants a plush of them super bad (they don’t make them yet but merch happens eventually!). She jokes that they have an ice cream stash they live in.

Pitch: Pidgey, male, green in color!

He got to join in after the other animal friends told him! He’s good friends with Adeleine (all the animal friends are) and she let him pick a Pokemon! He doesn’t play as much because he has to use his little feet’s but he does his best!

Nago: Glameow, female, body is orange and the ears are brown! Eyes remain closed instead of open to reflect his design!

He wanted it to be a girl just because. He says it’s because it resembles his girlfriend a teensy bit (just in coat color really) and he loves her a lot. Little bastard cat causes trouble on adventures and purposefully runs off to look for the stairs by himself without any incentive from Adeleine.

Chuchu: Frillish, female, wears a small red ribbon and has a more vibrant pink body!!

Couldn’t choose originally but settled on Frillish because it’s the closest thing to her. Nicknamed it frilly and likes to cause problems. She’s got a pretty decent move set and knows how to kick ass with it tho so she makes up for her trouble with that.

Queen Ripple: Flabébé, female, wears glasses and has black ear frill things, wears her crown, and wears her dress!!! Flower is white!

She gets to play too!!!!! Adeleine offered to let her have a Pokemon and she plays though wireless connection! On a very rare occasion, she makes a trip out to Popstar for a week or so and gets to play during then! She has a lot of fun and adores the design for Flabébé so damn much (plus it’s fairy type and that makes her very happy)!!!

[prisonrose]

Nobody wanted it, but it’s here anyways. Eeveelution Tier Ranker, let’s go. (Note: I don’t hate any of these and it’s less about whether they’re good competitively and more from a design standpoint -- i.e., how well I think they represented their chosen element and were creative when doing so. It’s okay if you disagree! But don’t click if you don’t like hearing opinions that are not your own.)

S Tier Explanations:

Vaporeon: Honestly one of the more creative Eeveelutions, and it hit it out of the park on the very first gen! It’s notable because instead of simply representing the element of water, it looks like a creature that might actually dwell in the ocean depths. I love its little neck fringe and the mermaid tail and how literally everything about it (except for maybe the feets) seem changed from the base Eevee form. 

Leafeon: Probably personal bias, but I don’t care. Leafeon kicks ass. They could have gone the super cutesy route and made it like a flower-cat-dog-rabbit-thing, but they instead gave it a look of an insect that would be using leaf camouflage to sneak up on prey. I love the little bits and pieces taken out of the leaf growths, and also the cute detail of its feet being brown, like it grew out of the mud. 

Espeon: Complicated doesn’t always mean good (foreshadowing for later) and Espeon proves it. It is a beautifully simple take on a psychic version of Eevee, with no real frills. It’s a soft lavender (which, being a shade of purple, hints at mystical origins without shoving it in your face, its thin, forked tail reminds me of a tuning fork that some use to meditate, and the red gem in its head I guess makes you think of the Third Eye of the mind. It doesn’t do a bunch of crazy stuff, but it doesn’t need it. Amazing stuff.

A Tier Explanation:

Umbreon: I feel like I want to like Umbreon as a concept more than I actually do. On paper, it’s pretty promising. The name Umbreon itself is a very clever play on the Umbra of a shadow -- the darkest part of it. The rings all over its body makes you think of an eclipse. But that’s... Really it. It has cat like pupils...? Which does set it apart from the other Eevees, and is also fitting of its reputation as a night lurker, but that’s really it. I think the biggest problem with Umbreon is its overall shape. The silhouette doesn’t really change between it and Eevee a whole lot, and not in a way that would make you think of its chosen element. To put it another way, if Umbreon was color-shifted to be, say, a bright orange, would it still look like it represented darkness to you? That’s the best way I can explain it, but I do have to acquiesce that it’s just a hard element to design for in general. They did the best with what they had and I respect them for that.

B Tier Explanations: 

Glaceon: Literally the only reason it’s here is because of the Ushanka-shaped hair do / ear flaps. It’s enough to communicate “this is something you’d encounter in cold weather!” while also being relatively creative about it instead of giving it an icicle for a tail or something. There’s also the subtle diamond-shape to its ears, fur flaps, and tail, kinda making me think of a snowflake in a way? But the rest of the body, other than its fur color and patterns barely changes at all. They even get rid of the fluffy neck scruff, which seems a bit counter intuitive since this is a COLD weather Pokemon, but I digress. It’s something all of the post-Gen-1 Eeveelutions have in common for some reason.

Eevee: Basic can be good! Eevee doesn’t really do anything super extraordinary to me, other than be cute. TBH when I look at it, I don’t really see a “Pokemon that can adapt to any climate” -- it just looks like a cute fox cat dog thingy. But that has its place in the world, too.

C Tier Explanations:

Jolteon: It feels like a sin to have two Gen 1 Pokemon as the sole C tier tier holders, but they fall so short of Vaporeon in my honest opinion. I do like their designs! They’re cute! But they’re not super transformative to me, and that’s their cardinal sin. Jolteon is the Lightning Eeveelution so... It’s Yellow. And they made it spiky like it stuck its paw in an electric socket. Done and done! That’s not very creative to me, though I do rate it as a half step above Flareon just because they basically got rid of its tail. That at least distinguishes it from the Eevee profile pretty well.

Flareon: It’s literally just “Eevee but Hot Cheetos Flavored”. If you color shifted it to Eevee’s base colors, you’d barely be able to tell the difference between them and that’s a problem to me. Yeah, the neck fluff, tail and head fluff kinda resemble flames I guess, but that’s just really lazy in my opinion. If it wasn’t literally the embodiment of fire, it looks like it would overheat in the exact environments it’s supposed to inhabit. Definitely deserves its spot here.

D Tier Explanation:

Sylveon: So I know what you’re thinking. “Mittens just hates anything they didn’t grow up with / thinks the Fairy typing is lame!” No. Absolutely not. Fairy is probably my favorite type, and I was psyched for Mega Evolution, Dynamaxing, and basically any gimmick the later games came out with. Nostalgia is a factor with me, but I make a concerted effort not to let it cloud my judgement. I don’t even hate that we got a Fairy Eevee before getting a Dragon one. My dislike of it is 100% just the way it’s designed. It’s the laziest take of “Eevee, but Fairy Type!!!” imo, and I have similar complaints about Galarian Rapidash. Like what about it says “Fairy”??? The fact that you gave it a cute lil bow and ribbons and made it soft pink and white and stuff??? Lazy! I kind of don’t like the assumption that “Fairy Type = uwu cutesy girly shit” and not because I don’t like the girly shit, but because I feel like that sort of stuff shouldn’t JUST be relegated to one or two typings (Normal type tends to also be kinda guilty of this imo but at least there’s WAY more diversity there). That’s why Klefki, Grimmsnarl, Mawile, and Shiinotic are some of my favorite Fairy Types of all time. Because they do something that both pays homage to the lore they’re taking the Fairy typing from and also making something genuinely original with it. (And it’s also why Mienshao is probably my favorite fighting type Pokemon! Because it’s this situation but just in reverse!) Sylveon just feel like something they banged out with a day or two of brainstorming. “Yeah, just make it pink and cute and shit. Good enough. Let’s go get lunch.” And unlike the first Gen, which I can forgive for being a bit unoriginal because this was still a very new concept for them, for them to bang out something THIS substandard in the 6th gen just makes me kinda mad. Sylveon deserved better and it should have been cooler, more creative, and played with its theme way more. It was cheated. But! that’s just my opinion.

At the end of the day tho, the Eevee line is probably one of my favorite families in the Pokemon universe and all of these Pokemon are super cute and I’d cuddle them in a heart beat. I just think some could have been designed a bit more creatively, but that’s just me! I’d love to hear your opinions. And I might make something like this for Dhimani too (either also doing the Eevees or doing something like rating all bug Pokemon and stuff.)

Wilford Warfstache’s Pet

Author Note: Hey! I had this Idea stuck in my head for a bit and thought it was funny. So hope you all enjoy. More notes at the bottom if your interested.

“Have I told you how lovely you are?” A man with a blue dress shirt, khakis pants, and yellow suspenders asked. His dark hair freshly combed and his pink mustache straighten and curled at the ends. Wilford Warfstache was up and ready for the day.

Me on the other hand…

I literally just woke up and walked into the kitchen. I haven’t feed Phil yet, or myself in all honestly. I’m wearing my Average pj pants and my huge yellow Yoshi shirt that is reserved for sleeping. I’m convince my hair is sticking up in weird places from bedhead. And I have morning breath.

Who complements people when they first get up? Wilford Warfstache, as it looks like. 

I yawned. “How am I lovely again?” I open a box of chocolate poptarts and grabs a pack. I sat down at the bar in the kitchen. Maybe I did something nice and Wilford wanted to say thank you in his weird way again. Wilford slides into the seat next to me. He propped his arm up and smiled big.

“Your voice is a medley I carve to hear.” Wilford purred. I opened my poptarts and started to eat one. This this new. “Your hair is a beautiful milk chocolate that has the touch of silk; long, majestic and awe strucking!” Wilford held out his hands toward my long brown hair for emphasis. It was pulled back in its normal ponytail. I slept in this ponytail.

“Your lips are red as roses and soft as a baby’s skin.” My lips are chapped and a pale pink at my guess. “You move with the grace of a gazelle.” I’m clumsy. I should stop him while he’s ahead. “Your eyes are like deep pools of water.” But I kinda want to see how far he’ll go. “I get lost in the blue voids if I stare too long…” He looked off in the distance for dramatic effect.

His pause went one a little too long so I spoke up. “Where is this coming from.” I asked with my mouth half full. “Ima klutz; and my lips are chapped by the way.”

Wilford looked over and wriggled his stache. “Can’t a guy compliment his roommate?” He smiled a wide tooth smile.

“You can, but why in the morning when I look like shit?” I smirked at the man. “I honestly thought you were goin’ call me a sweetheart for something I did. Like when I fix your door from squeaking a month ago.” I took another bit of my poptart.

“Well you are a Sweetheart!” Wilford exclaimed. “And you don’t look like shit.” I quirked an eyebrow at him. “Okay… You could look better, but it’s not as bad as you think it is.”

“Aww. Thank you!” I really appreciate the compliment. “But again why are you complimenting me? Did I do something?” I asked and bit into my poptart again.

“Well… no. I wanted to asked you something.” Wilford squared his shoulders and ducked his head a little.

I narrowed my eyes at him and smirked. “You were tryin’ to butter me up to say ‘yes’, weren’t tcha’.”

He huffed. “Yes…”

“Well shoot. What you want to asked so badly?”

“… Can I have a pet? …” He asked softly.

Confused, I said “But we already have a pet.” Then I remember. “Who I forgot to feed! Oh God! Phil! I’m so sorry!” I abandoned my poptart on the bar as I got up to go to the fridges for strawberries.

Wilford followed me. “Wait! We do? Since when did we have a pet? And why haven’t I seen it?!” I got the strawberries out of the left fridge.

I turned to the man and looked at him in disbelief. “You brought him home! Remember! You sat him on the bar one night and went to your room! I found him the next morning upset, so I put him in the spare fridge.”

“I still have no idea what you’re talking about! And why is he in the fridge!?” Wilford was borderline yelling at this point, so I just open the right fridge to show him Phil.

Phil gurgled happily at us. He was a cute pancake monster with tiny dot eyes. He was five fluff pancakes high with no arms nor feet. He was forever covered in syrup and in a decorated tub I made him. The tub was made of ceramic and glazed yellow with boats and cats on the sides. He saw the strawberries and open up his mouth toward the sky waiting for them.

“That’s Phil?” Wilford asked. “What is he doing?” He leaned in closer to get a better look of Phil.

“He’s waiting for me to feed him. He love strawberries.” I dropped a strawberry into his mouth. He hummed as he ate. He ate a few more strawberries until he sank down in his tub and hummed. Wilford just watched with interest. “You full?” Phil opened his mouth once more. “No? Alright then, one more.” He hummed happily as he ate. “You full?” He just hummed on without a care. “Okay then.” I shut the door. Look up to Wilford, who is five inches taller than me, waiting for a comment.

“…” Wilford was still staring at the fridge. He pointed to the fridge. “I don’t remember bring that home.”

“That was a year ago.” I tried to jog his memory with the time of the event.

It had a different effect. “A year! Those pancakes should be bad by now! How are they still fresh!?” He asked bewildered.

I pinched the bridge of my nose out of frustration. “I don’t know! He’s a forever pancake!” I look at him. “But the point is we already have a pet.” Wilford tried to speak, but I cut him off with “If you remember him or not.”

“Well! Can I have another pet?!” The pink mustached man exclaimed.

I thought a moment. “As long as it’s legal and it doesn’t eat Phil, then sure. Why not.” I don’t see the harm in another pet.

“Great! I already have the name picked out. Ima call him Rex!” Wilford was already half way through the kitchen. I guess he was going out to get Rex.

“Cool. You know I have a great Uncle named Rex.” I told Wilford as he got his keys off the key rack.

“Really?”

“Yea, he’s a retired rocket scientist.” I sat back down at the bar.

“You don’t say?” Wilfred leaned on the bar from the other side. “Hey, you think this handsome reporter could get an interview with him. Not everyday I get interview a former rocket scientist.” He smiled.

“If you can guarantee me you won’t hurt or kill him, and if he’s okay with it. Then sure you can interview him.” I explained to Wilford. “I’ll write a letter to him asking about it.”

“Thank you Sweetheart! And I can guarantee with a 110 percent assurance than he will live through the interview. And now if you’ll excuse me. I gotta go and interview a few wrestlers!” He grabbed his pink coat and pink hat as he walked to the front door.

“Alright! Be careful and don’t break them to bad!” I called out.

“Oh, please! Don’t you know who I am!” Wilford turned back to the bar to look at me. He was halfway out the door. “I’m Wilford Warfstache! I take no shit from nobody!” and with that, the door slammed shut. I hear the lock click a second later.

“Cool. Ima finish my poptart.”

It’s close to 6 pm now. I’m wearing jeans, a grey tank top, and a blue, plaid short sleeve button-up that is unbuttoned. The sun was still out, but the day have gotten a lot cooler. Wilford wasn’t home yet and I was feeding Phil blueberries and strawberries. He really like fruit the best, but he’s willing to eat other stuff too.

Wilford burst through the front door jumping up and down from excitement. He was still wearing his clothes from earlier, minus the hat. “Hey, didja have a good day? You look really happy.” I closed Phil’s fridge door.

“I GOT REX!” Wilford yelled and threw his arms up in the air from pure joy. “COME LOOK AT ‘IM!” He ran outside to the front yard like a madman. Well… he’s already slightly a madman, but who cares.

I grabbed my glasses and walked after Wilford to the front yard. I got to the door and- “Ooooooooooh noooohohohoooooo.” I hid behind the door frame in terror. “WILFORD! GET INSIDE!” I screamed.

“What?! Why!? You haven’t met him yet!” Wilford cried. He was standing on the lawn with…

“THERE’S A TRICERATOPS EATING THE BUSHES!!!” I pointed to the grey beast eating the neighbor’s hedges. Oh God… if there’s a triceratops then a T-rex is not far from the truth, or here.

“I know! Ain’t he great! I got him a collar and everything!” Wilford grinned madly. Okay, I care if he slightly a madman now.

“THAT’S REX!?” I screeched in horror. “HOW?! WHERE DID YOU GET IT!?” I stared at him for a second. “DINOSAURS ARE EXTINCT!”

“With great difficulty.” The pink stached madman cryptically proclaimed. The dinosaur was indeed wearing a collar. It was pink, of course. “He’s perfect! Perfectly legal too, can’t eat Phil, can’t even get in the house to be honest. Oh! Best part is he love watermelons! I’ve told you how my brother gets attack by space melons every month, right?” The man was smiling like a little kid in the toy aisle of the store.

My throat hurts from screaming, so I just nod at Wilford. His brother Melone always did have an excess amount of watermelons he couldn’t eat. A man can eat only so many watermelons… Honestly I thought Phil was a space pancake when I hear that story the first time… And saw the crates of watermelons too.

I took a deep breath to collect myself. Wilford was petting the dinosaur. I found my voice again. “You are feeding and walking it. I want no part of him. At least until I talked to my sister, or anyone with sanity about this.”

“Alright! If you say so.” Wilford started to climb up the beast. I shut the door. I stared at the oak wood for a minute unmoved. There’s a dinosaur in the yard. There’s a dinosaur in the yard. There’s a dinosaur in the yard. There’s a dinosaur in the yard. There’s a dinosaur in the yard.

Turning around and walking to find my phone, I never needed it more in my life than in this moment.

Author Notes: Hey again! Did you guys like Wilford’s dinosaur? I don’t know why a triceratops to me is funny, but my family also thought it was funny. So yeah. I based the roommate off myself because I originally thought of it that way. I was trying to sleep, and I like to think up stories when I do. It helps me fall asleep. The funniest stuff is thought up when a lack of sleep is involve; in my opinion at least.

Fun fact: I actually do have a great Uncle Rex that is a retired rocket scientist. He’s really cool, and old. He’ll be 85 this year, I think. Maybe 84. He’s still awesome though.

[level247-table-tech]

ah yes. i came up with one too, i guess.

everyone gets to be a variety of the same type of gem here! isn’t that great? all are beryls. but what kind?

deceit gets heliodor because it’s yellow, and marquise cut because it seemed nice.

patton(and logan? not certain if deeper blue counts) is aquamarine.

just checked. logan is apparently, in fact, maxixe.

both roman and virgil are red beryl, because it doesn’t have a fancy name. also, purpley beryl still counts as red in name.

being beryls, why are they not emerald sized*?

1. i can change them later

2: this artstyle doesn’t speak much of style

3: if tiny gems fuse, they become normal sized. granted there are five but whatever.

4: i’m taking the benefit of the doubt given or not here, but we can’t know emerald’s size for sure.

5: it is Important that they are Small.

*emeralds are green beryl.

more details i guess:

yeah i’m making a lotta this up on the fly. but here:

-deceit is an era 2 gem. defective? maybe. he prefers to say simply differently made. whatever the case homeworld would not be a fan if they found out.

-thinking of him having had a pearl who helped him communicate. if that decision ends up made i gotta go with the idea that marquise cuts are pretty rare and a bit more popular. thus achieving a pearl...

-guess what flaw would cause such notice? i’m sure you’ll never get it. (pathological liar.)

-he basically ends up being peridot here, trapped on earth a while, stuck facing these other crazies in love with just another hunk of raw materials.

-where people will get it if you’re different. where all the flaws people have are ‘interesting‘. where being defective doesn’t mean the end.

-that aside, let’s get to the first four beryls?

-they were a team on homeworld. first it was just three, but it wasn’t long before another joined in.

-he was assigned to their squad, actually. i’m thinking of maybe their group was always four, but they lost someone and virgil’s there in that person’s stead.

-how they were lost is to your own imagination.

-in any case! virgil, at the least, has seen some things. and not pleasant ones.

-i’m thinkin maybe he used to be pink’s, though he never got to see her or her colony before the incident.

-not sure exactly what yet. but he too is ‘defective’. homeworld never says what exactly that means. a flaw in their formation? other than physical ‘defects’...

-honestly it’s just their catch-all term for any trait they don’t like. and virgil has anxiety, as one might guess.

-and as originally, nobody gets why he’s so high-strung. they think he’s expecting something bad to happen specifically, and are unhappy that he won’t tell them what. they don’t understand why he keeps shooting down plans, or reacting negatively, or

-yeah. even when they try, it’s really difficult. but eventually, things escalate on a mission to another planet, and he runs off.

-of course they have to find him.

-they come to an agreement after that.

-they talk more after that, when something bothers someone.

-a lot of things bother them honestly. homeworld is like that.

-they have a lot of... debates. like in the series.

-virgil is uncomfortable, and the system accomodates very little. patton is empathetic in a way that is discouraged. logan... well peridot recognized the empire acted illogically. why shouldn’t he? and of course, roman. what room is there for creativity in a dystopia like this? it is the place of bismuths, not beryls. the best he gets is redoing his outfit whenever he’s poofed. which might be why he acts so reckless... many points of view.

-ultimately the conclusion is them coming to the realization their civilization is kind of horrible.

-so they take their ship, and leave, feigning some mission on another world. they are followed, less and less planet to planet, until eventually they find a place nobody will come for them.

-which is where earth makes an appearance. the crystal gems happened, naturally, but have our heroes heard about that? not much, just rumours!  and who can say if that was even this planet(because, no, they did not call earth the same thing we did. stop at once, they’re aliens). but they don’t actually meet the crystal gems. definitely not.

-they land somewhere nowhere near a warp pad. fortunately? unfortunately? shrug.

-they just keep their old ship as a base. they have long since wrecked up anything that could be used to track them earlier while avoiding pursuit.

-but this is still a while after the rebellion. a long while.so their ship has some cooler, new technology in.

-and they’re all beryls, right? putting them somewhere by emerald in rank(i know corundum isn’t very even in rank but stop ‘tis more fun this way). so their ship is fancy, with cool new tech stuff. not as good as show-modern homeworld, because this is still a while in the past(i kind of really need it to be before ancient greece preferably? so maybe something like 4000 years in the past compared to the 6000 between now and the rebellion), but a notch above the rebel gear. they have rooms aboard the ship, similar to the temple.

-where exactly are they? i’ll get back to you on that.

-i mean i could say florida but florida doesn’t exist in su. it’s fine. just... somewhere. maybe mexico-equivalent.

-they do have to deal with corrupted gems sometimes, as those are drawn to magic. i think that’s canonically why the cg have so many issues with ‘em. they tend to just throw them into the sea.

-they don’t live near the sea. but being a gem has perks. such as extraordinary strength.

-if i actually write this, it’s probably gonna be about how future sides join them. that’s the interesting bit i think.

-deceit was kind of... a big fan of their group. he wasn’t on orders when he went to find them. he did not intend to end up on earth. i think it was like... someone higher in authority had a tracker, and noticed he wasn’t where he was supposed to be. and was going to earth. so they terminated him, causing his ship to blow up and land on the moon. which has a warp pad i think. he has an awful time trying to find these people(they are not near a warp pad, and cannot be tracked via actual tracking methods), and then he discovers why people stopped talking about them.

-he came out here for a bunch of lunatic... Earthlings!!!

-Ugh. but he isn’t a technician. his ship is pretty broken, but the earth sides’?

-their ship is still functional. though, he may not know this at first. he may not even realize it’s a ship, just a building.

-but when he does. he becomes their recurring villain!

-then season finale-type deal he succeeds. but while he’s driving back, they’re still talking somewhere on the ship. restrained, but he can hear them.

-i’m not deciding now what they say. but he reconsiders. able to speak more freely than ever. why does he want to go back?

-back to earth they go.

-+1 party member.

-aside from that, they are a bit confused by gem tech they find sometimes while travelling(because they don’t stay in the same place all the time. they’ve been up to things. seeing sights. learning languages.) there are warp pads, some places. gem structures. floating islands. carvings of a spire out at sea.

-what happened here?

-they never really meet the crystal gems. one little coastal city they haven’t been to, why should they? maybe someday.

-they all use he/him because it seemed interesting and different, and because why not?

-they didn’t on homeworld though, or for a while on earth. not gonna change pronouns up there, but

-they also found names, yeah. that happened somehow.

-other dark sides to be introduced can be added after they are known. if circumstances align, i’ll go with the pearl thing after all, and have said pearl seek deceit the fuck out. shrug. or some other noble who knew him, popular as he was, and all. could be a sapphire! you never know.

-everyone’s room on the ship is like their own rooms, as you know them. but a bit different yeah..

-patton’s is full of memorabilia of various things. a large part of which is recordings, shelved and organized chronologically.

-logan’s, he configured to look kind of like an ampitheatre, but smaller. he has some whiteboards, as well, because yeah.

-roman’s is. well i imagine they all can kinda change, but his most noticably so because he does so a lot. and it’s kind of like rose’s room, where he creates things.

-virgil’s is... basically his own room. he’s got posters, naturally, as well as a bed, because he enjoys sleeping frequently.

-sometimes patton tries to cook. it is for the best nobody is affected by food.

-well, much. they can taste a bit. spice

-actually have mobiles in the present day, because as mentioned they travel more, and like the ability to communicate.

-while such things existed on homeworld they were closer to walkie-talkies in terms of distribution, and not being on an official mission upon which they were needed...

-well. who wants to think about homeworld.

-they interact with humans often. they are kind of everywhere, after all.

-i think i want to put them in california. seems right.

-yep california is still a thing in su. florida however is an island now. so not there.

-they may have moved the ship around some before that though.

-yeah i kinda need logan to have been around at the time of ancient greece yeah.

-also roman and the renaissance

-please tell me 4000 years in the past is enough for that.

-they’ve spent a lot of time travelling honestly. but california is the place modern-day.

-oh but. the time deceit comes ‘round? that’s maybe 600 years after they originally arrive. yeah.

-similarly-large time frames for other sides meeting up to follow.
