#bonus headcanon I couldn't fit into post about baby gay Julianna: She and Penny eventually start dating after getting over Nemona

[touchoffleece]

I had this written up before I looked at the reblogs, so enjoy my copy pasta adding to this topic.

I headcanon-ed Juliana having a one sided crush on 'Cool Older Neighbor' Nemona who encouraged her to be a trainer and had a blast playing through the story. 😌 All the pretty women also added to my headcanon of her 'gay awakening journey'. Was Battling Geeta the top obstacle for my baby gay mc while completing the league ? No. It was Rika. Julianna gave me mad gay energy from the minute I looked up their names and the meaning behind them (Even Florian gives gay energy in my personal opinion), and I love and will love gen 9 for it. Maybe it's how gender neutral the designs and names for the gen 9 protagonists are that help make it feel so fruity to people not in denial about lgbtqi+ people existing. Julianna (the name) having ties to Roman culture influence in Spain, as well as a tie in to the name Julius in favor of giving that reference to the male protagonist of the game. Compared to the last generation name tie ins where it was very plain and simple Victor going towards the male protagonist and giving the female character the very feminine sounding name of Gloria; when she could have easily been named Victoria while referencing one of England's most famous Queens (I understand the references they chose were for verses in God Save the Queen, but my point is about how gay gen 9 protags are compared to previous gens). Florian (the name) meanwhile is a rather feminine meaning blossoming or flower. Once again compared to the previous generation gen 9 twisted the expectations of having the femme sounding name be given to the male protagonist. Their character designs gives off fruity vibes in the non gender conforming way; from their neutral styled hair to the meaning/origins of their names.

You know normally I'd be all over shipping, especially the protagonist of these games, Red and Blue? Good for them. Lyra/Silver? Classic. White and/or Black with N? That was an era let me tell you. Selene or Moon/Lillie? My god man I still ship those two.

But now I've reached my limit, I cannot ship these two new protagonists in pokemon scarlet and violet, they are baby, they're Small Childs. I'm not nearly done with the game so maybe I'll be convinced later on but for now I cannot ship these two with anyone.

HOWEVER! Juliana? Total baby gay, tiny lesbian who is absolutely experiencing her first crush, among many since there are so many cute character in SV. Even if she might not realize it. Nemona is a Very Cool Older Girl no way do they not have a crush on her.

I need to spread this headcanon while the pokemon tag is at its high point.
