Hi, can you please go over why the specific pokemon are on their teams? For example, why does Archie have a Togekiss and Roserade?!

P.s. Love your art, bye!

What other pokémon would he have??

Sakura was Archie's starter. He got her when she was just a togepi. Pros of having a well-off family, I guess; you get access to rare pokémon. As for Zelda, he traded Maxie (@team-magma-official) a marshtomp for her when we were kids. You didn't ask, but he fished up Riptide on Route 118, outside of Mauville.

I caught my starter, Iris, out near Route 111. It was a pretty fun trip--we took the train to the foothills of Chimney and hiked from there. Trapinch can be difficult to raise if you don't know what you're doing, but I did plenty of reading.

The rest of my team is focused around type coverage and being able to set status conditions. I was going to go pro back on my journey, but grant money is not infinite. It is what it is.

As for Matt's team, I'm not sure where he caught them--he's just always loved dogs. I can't say I get it; I'm a cat person myself. Dogs have too much energy for me. Matt handles them just fine, though.

Text from the images under the cut!

First fic snippet:

He doesn’t know what he’s doing, but the kid is clinging to him like a lifeline, and so he very carefully (and awkwardly) brings his own arms up to encircle the kid. In response, a tiny face pushes harder against Colin’s chest.

“It’s okay,” Colin says, with no idea if that’s remotely true. “You’re safe here. My dad’s strong, and so are his friends. And me.” He pauses. Well. Someday I will be.

“No,” the kid whispers stubbornly, still breathing hard. “Not okay.”

“But it’s safe,” Colin says again. “I promise.”

“No!” the kid snaps, hands curling into tighter fists against Colin’s back. “Only promise if you mean it!”

“I mean it, kid,” Colin says, a little nonplussed at the sudden anger. “I promise.”

“Not okay,” the kid mutters, turning his head so that the words are muffled in Colin’s shirt. “No.”

“Okay. Not okay,” Colin agrees, giving up trying to talk. He holds the kid a little tighter and feels him exhale like he’s been falling and just hit ground. His breathing slowly starts to calm.

They’re on the ground in silence like that for a while, slowly shifting from the position that was starting to hurt Colin’s knees to sitting on the floor with the kid in his lap. At some point, Colin realizes the kid’s fallen asleep.

He tentatively moves his hand up, brushing some of the kid’s hair out of his face. He looks a lot more peaceful, now.

Colin had always wanted to have a brother, but he’d always wished for an older one—someone like Isbert, his friend Warrin’s brother, who taught him cool sword techniques and the best routes through the hills. He’d never imagined being the older one before.

Second fic snippet:

Faolain hears about Caithe’s new prodigy rather quickly. She would never be content not to have eyes on her dearheart, after all.

It helps, of course, that the sapling—the Valiant, and isn’t that something—isn’t precisely keeping a low profile. She takes it upon herself to not only take out Renvari but to thwart the Nightmare attack on Astorea. Renvari is no great loss (never the sharpest thorn on the bush, that one), but the failed attack rankles. Just a bit.

Faolain visits Briarthorn a few weeks later. Routine inspection, checking in, making sure everyone’s keeping their noses clean. The court there comes to greet her, as they should. For a moment, eyes drifting over the nervous sylvari, she meets someone’s gaze—bright, focused lavender eyes.

The sylvari stares back at her, arms crossed. There’s a moment of calm in the stare, then pure anger. Furious anger and hatred, in fact. It’s so vicious that Faolain’s simultaneously delighted, taken aback, and furious in return—the lack of respect! But in the split second she takes to process, the eyes settle and pull away from hers, their owner lost in the crowd.

Her mouth tugs to the side slightly. She’ll have to interrogate Eorana about that one.

(What have you DONE? an echo from the past screams, faint but piercing.

She ignores it.)

Third fic snippet:

Cal nods quickly, half hoping she’ll tell them more and half hoping she’s done talking. It turns out to be the latter. She ruffles their hair—Cal complains as she does so—and says, “All right. Do you remember the rules?”

“Stay where you can see me,” Cal says, their enthusiasm slightly tempered by burgeoning impatience. “Don’t talk to anyone we don’t know.”

Mother puts her hand on her hip. “And?”

Cal grumbles under their breath. “Don’t get onto any ships by accident—I did that once when I was seven! I was little!”

Mother’s expression turns mischievous, and she scoops Cal up, kissing them all over their face while they squirm and giggle. Eventually she sets them down, dusting imaginary dirt from their clothes.

“Oh, I must have been mistaken. You’re eight now, of course you know to avoid ships—”

“I do!” Cal yelps, not enjoying the dusting. “I do, I do, I do! Promise!”

“Well, if you promise,” says their mother, standing up, and Cal nods, because of course they promise. (That’s their mom.) “Within sight of me!”

“Promise!” Cal says again, beaming. “Love you!”

And with that, they scurry away. They have a plan.

mabel shook her head, a dazed yet amused grin plastered still to her lips. "no, actually, you're the first person i've approached today. i've been standing here holding my plate up for an embarrassing amount of time, trying to gather up the courage to go up to someone... i- i don't know, people look busy and intimidating, y'know? i don't want to annoy anyone or make them late for something", she rambled on, which she had a tendency to do. she narrowed her eyes without even realizing as max took his first bite, as if closing her eyes would protect her from an incoming bad critic. when it didn't come, however, her eyes nearly bulged out of her head. this man... he knew what he was talking about. it took him a moment to register that information and she let out a nervous giggle. "wait, you're a baker?" she asked, incredulous. "oh my gosh, i'm so embarrassed. of course the very first person i approach is a baker!" a pink blush sat high atop her cheeks, her embarrassment visible. "it's- it's my first time doing the funfetti bit, not the eclair itself... thank you so much. any, uh... any notes, then?"

it was always a good day in max's book when he got someone laughing. Whether that was a friend, customer, neighbor, family or a stranger, which was the case today. He quickly waved off the apology as there was no need and threw a beaming smile her way. "Heh. I've been there so I get it. I gotta say some people have no filter and no control over their asshole tendencies. But I don't suppose you've encountered those people yet?" He took a bite and let it overtake his taste buds as he wanted to give her an honest opinion. "Is this your first time making the eclairs? Not bad. I like them. Did you happen to separate the eggs when they were cold? They're not soggy so that's a really good sign. It's not overly sweet which is a good thing too. I really like the cream inside and given the texture you nailed whisking part. They're hard to do even for the most proficient of bakers."

— characters: jesse & aysel — setting: downtown, late afternoon — tagging: @ayselkarademir

Things had felt like a blur since the holidays, and the barista wasn't quite sure if that was a good or bad thing. Perhaps it was neither and his usual guilt complex was causing him to overthink rather than follow the course of what had been happening.

There'd not only been a gift exchange, he and Aysel had also shared a New Year's kiss and hooked up. Then when the incredibly dynamic woman had left the country on a vacation she'd spoiled herself with, Jesse had been surprised with the amount of contact between the two of them. He'd half expected the leggy brunette would galavant around famed cities like Paris and Rome and think little of him as she enjoyed herself.

It would've been understood and not something the Boston native would've held against the woman that seemingly had him in a chokehold.

Was she someone worth changing for? Giving up the past and putting it behind him? Jesse was beginning to think so, even if he was sure he didn't deserve it or her.

Now, returned to the mountainous region of the midwest in the US, Jesse found himself in her company as they were going to stop at some shops and head to an evening dinner. All while she regaled him with her experiences at the ballet and opera— tickets he'd dropped for her to enjoy the splendor of.

"If you were to go back," to Europe that was, "where would you go this time?" The question was casual and he found he really enjoyed talking with her, even if there was still they had so much to open up to one another. Even though he'd been stunned by it, the daily communication and the direction their FaceTime connections had gone— it was hard to let go of now that he'd had a taste of it.

"Have you ever been to the south of Spain? Awfully romantic there," he quipped, ocean eyes sparkling as they peered down at the woman on his side. "I can picture you as a Flamenco dream, and Andalusian mystery..."

Nee's a fidgeter -- she paces or plucks at her clothes or twirls her wand, especially when stressed. Formally-trained casters are discouraged from such habits, because they can interfere with concentration or somatic spell components, so Nee sometimes channels her nervous energy into origami

Linmir rubs at her eyes or the back of her neck, cracks her knuckles, and straightens her gloves. She used to have a habit of tapping twice on the tattoo on the back of her hand, but no longer has the tattoo or the habit.

Sûl's habits have mostly been transmuted into theatrical ones: they hum or whistle, make airy/graceful/useless gestures, twirl their hair, and when REALLY uncomfortable, swoon onto the nearest flat surface/potential ally

Silence likes to clap her hands together briskly, twiddle her thumbs, and flick her ears and tail back and forth. She also chews her nails, to the vast despair of the family. If she chewed gum, she would blow bubbles incessantly.

Asa chews on their hair or the trinkets in their hair, but when genuinely deeply nervous, they just freeze and stare. Unblinking.

Hongyan breaks things.

Rosenrot starts cleaning and tidying anything she can reach (WE CAN'T LET PEOPLE KNOW WE SIT), tugs on the ends of her braids, fidgets with her glasses, and gnaws on her lip.

Aysel is a leg-bouncer and also bites her nails and adjusts her piercings. She gets real shifty with eye contact when uncomfortable too.

OC question of the day: what are your character's nervous tics?

[bugsinshoes]

AYFORD COMIC BE UPON YE!!!!!!!!!!

after many weeks of tedious work. IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!! the long awaited "aysel meets ford" comic. i am very happy with how this turned out

also ACTUAL proper lore. it's insane. never seen before. i'm gonna rest now

[kerra-and-company]

🖊️🖊️🖊️ for any kiddos you feel like talking about (@uselessidiotsquad )

Gladly!! Thanks a bunch for these! :D <3 Going to use some of this space to talk about character dynamics rather than just individual characters, cause why not and I am having Thoughts about them.

🖊 - Tanza and Aysel met when they were both eleven and spent a lot of their childhood together, alongside Tanza's other childhood best friend, Crackling Frost (a kodan--it's worth noting that the three of them grew up in Song of Final Exile in Snowden Drifts). Crackling Frost (who goes by Crackle to their friends) and Aysel took a bit of time to trust each other, but they eventually bonded over the people they'd lost--they'd both lost an older sibling. Tanza trusted Aysel almost instantly and Aysel trusted her relatively fast as well--she helped Aysel pick her name. Tanza did have a crush on Aysel for a couple years but got over it on her own without ever actually saying anything; the whole duration of that was very frustrating for Crackle, who didn't understand why actually talking that out would be hard to do.

Aysel was the first of the three to leave; she joined the Vigil about a month or two after she earned the title of Slayer of Issormir. Tanza was actively frustrated with her for leaving and was a bit snippy with her about it but didn't try to stop her. They eventually leave home to join the Pact after seeing Braham rallying a group to go after Jormag--they don't particularly think they have a chance of being picked to go, but they'd like to start taking action to fight some of the problems in the world. Crackle stays in Song of Final Exile, and hopes to maybe someday become the Voice of the sanctuary. They hold down the fort, so to speak. They also absolutely had a conversation with Tanza when they were very small, before Aysel got there, about the two of them being Voice and Claw together someday, though it was far more a childhood fantasy than something either of them thought would ever happen.

🖊 - Pol, after he dies, is incredibly lost on what to do. He ends up in the Domain of the Lost for a bit, actually, because of the specific manner in which he died--being killed thanks to your 'bandmate's betrayal, even if not by his hand, is certainly traumatic. He manages to reclaim his name and his purpose, but he doesn't want to move on. He's not at peace, but he doesn't know what in Tyria he could possibly do about it. He can't come back to life, and he's afraid to move on and leave his family for good (even though he, in many ways, pretty much has at that point). He pretty much just hangs out in the Domain of the Lost and stays away from the Judge, trying to figure out what exactly he should do.

He eventually decides to see if there's any sort of way out of the place he's in, and though he doesn't manage to find a way back to life on his own, he does manage to slip out of the specific part of the Mists that holds the Domain of the Lost. He spends years just...wandering, pretty much, alongside his devourer Flint. He'd never fancied himself an explorer, but he certainly does a lot of it and even learns to somewhat enjoy it--until he manages to explore himself right near the entrance to the Realm of the Dead, the place where human spirits go and somewhere he doesn't particularly want to be. He's also tired, though, and the idea that he won't ever return to his 'bandmates regardless is pressing at the back of his mind, so he lingers at the entrance a bit before finally turning to leave.

It turns out he has either excellent or terrible timing, because he spins around and almost runs straight into a young human woman with a greatsword. And this woman is alive.

🖊 - Minei doesn't really know what to make of the strange charr she meets in the Mists, but he doesn't seem threatening, and when she explains that she's come to figure out whatever is happening in the Underworld that's letting creatures out to attack people in Tyria, he even offers to help. The timing is suspicious, but their team is small and they could use more help. She agrees.

They go through the Underworld, meet Desmina, fight Dhuum. Minei is, afterwards, suddenly part of a really weird power struggle--she doesn't want to be in charge of the Underworld (and Desmina wouldn't let her even if she did), but she also doesn't particularly want Desmina to have full reign, either. It's the beginning of a very tempestuous relationship the two of them will maintain over the years following. But she's grateful to Pol for his assistance in dealing with Dhuum and makes sure to escort him back into the Mists proper and out of the Underworld.

They don't run into each other again until Dragonfall, at which point Minei finds Pol amongst the spirits in Glint's army. They get the chance to properly talk, and they become decent friends in the spaces between setting up for the final battle against Kralkatorrik. And after a new Elder Dragon ascends, Minei, who at this point has a better idea of how her power set has improved since Dhuum's defeat, and who has lost so many people in her life, goes to Pol and basically tells him "I think I can do this--I think I can bring you back to life. Do you want me to do this for you?"

And he accepts.

WIP Challenge!

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.  Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it!  And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.  I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either.  Sketch titles?  Comics?  DnD campaigns?  If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!

HUGE BREATH HELLO

[quaxorascal]

Kerryn Ayla & Sydney Liang > elementals

“Hold on tight to fragile hearts.”

(template by @cityandking) (caption under the cut!)

[Images: two rectangular graphics with images and information on two OCs. Each graphic is identical in format, with four sections. The top section has four squares in a solid colour, with a background behind them; the middle left has a picture of a person, with her name written on the left side of the image; the middle right has information about each of the characters in text; and the bottom section has three circles with small images inside.

First graphic features four squares in purple, from a nearly-black dark purple on the left to a lavender on the right. Behind the squares is a pale picture of stars in the sky. The middle left section features a picture of a pale-skinned girl with moles on her skin, from below the eyes to the mid-bust; she is half-covered by a shadow from above. Her dark brown curly hair falls into the frame; it’s a little longer than shoulder-length. She is wearing a black tank top and a thin silver necklace. Her name reads: “Kerryn Ayla.” The bottom of the image features pictures of: black boots standing in the winter snow; hands in knit grey gloves holding a steaming mug of coffee; and purple star-shaped glitter. The information on the middle-right side of the graphic reads as follows:

“Occupation: university student. Element: light. Subset: darkness. Age: 19. MBTI: ENTP. Zodiac: Capricorn. Enneagram: type eight. Trope: Good Is Not Soft. Strength: 2/5. Agility: 5/5. Skill: 3/5. Intelligence: 4/5. Drive: 5/5. Spontaneity: 1/5.”

Second graphic features four squares in blue, from a deep blue on the left to a nearly-white pale blue on the right. Behind the squares is a picture of the sun reflecting on shallow water. The middle left section features a picture of a girl standing in front of a shoreline with waves crashing toward her, with her left arm outstretched; the image cuts off her right arm at the shoulder. She is wearing a white tank top and blue jeans. She has brown skin, and her dark brown hair billows as if caught in strong wind. Her name reads: “Sydney Liang.” The bottom of the image features pictures of: white sneakers splashing in a puddle; a rainbow shining from a waterfall; and a hamburger and some French fries. The information on the middle-right side of the graphic reads as follows:

“Occupation: university student. Element: water. Subset: liquid. Age: 22. MBTI: INFP. Zodiac: Cancer. Enneagram: type seven. Trope: The Anti-Nihilist. Strength: 4/5. Agility: 2/5. Skill: 4/5. Intelligence: 3/5. Drive: 3/5. Spontaneity: 5/5.”
