[i-am-sleepyzz]

What digimon would gary oak have?

Cause im Tempted to just give him gabumon and call it a day cause it would work well with ash having agumon

But that's got more to do with agumon being the mascot and ash having Pikachu im not sure if I would choose him for that otherwise? Maybe but there might be a more Interesting digimon I could have given him

I tried to stay away from just picking digimon we've seen as partner mons over and over

Doesn't mean I succeed but I tried not to

Anyway yea wondering what other people think he should have

A very emotional day in the merpepito au

-

The new pirate on the ship is Miss Bagi, and she's super tall. She's as tall as three Pepitos on top of each other, and she wears heeled boots, and she has a feather coming out of her hat that looks almost as big as Pepito! She's huge!

It makes sense that she's Captain Celbi's big sister, because he's small compared to her. (Not that Pepito would ever say so. That would be rude.) (Apa Roier said it, though, and he got a smack on the chest for it.)

Miss Bagi is replacing Mister Mike, who left to go hang out with his tall wife. Miss Mine had given Pepito a stick of taffy before stealing Mister Mike away, so she's cool. Cooler than, say, Richarlyson.

But, like. Screw Richarlyson. He's been weird ever since Apa Roier and Captain Celbi got engaged (whatever that means), but he's probably just jealous that he didn't get a pretty necklace, too. Pepito thought about getting him one, but Pepito remembered that the necklaces are for Adult Pepitos only, so Pepito didn't.

They've been on the Ocean for two days now, and Pepito hasn't seen Apa Roier away from Captain Celbi once. They're holding hands, or holding arms, or they're hugging, or they're just touching each other. And Apa Roier is always smiling and happy, and Captain Celbi is always smiling and happy, and Pepito is happy for them!

But Richarlyson? He's barely done anything but grumble his way around the ship doing his chores. He pretends to smile when Captain Celbi talks to him. He's all nice when Apa Roier is by him. But when it's just Pepito? Richarlyson gets mean. He keeps spilling his mop water all over Pepito and pretending it didn't happen, and nobody is stopping him... because nobody knows it's happening, because Pepito hasn't said anything.

Because Pepito can't say anything.

But, the dinner of the second day back on the Ocean, Captain Celbi calls Pepito into his cabin. Apa Roier is there on Captain Celbi's bed reading, playing idly with his necklace as he does so. He's wearing Captain Celbi's shirt. Huh.

"Pepito," Captain Celbi says, going around to his side of his desk and standing there all cool and menacing and pirate-y, "you did a good job the other day on our mission. I knew I could count on you."

Pepito smiles. Pepito is the best pirate!

Apa Roier snorts. Captain Celbi flips him off. So cool...

"To show my appreciation, your father and I got you something," Captain Celbi says.

Apa Roier looks up from his book. "It's a land thing."

Pepito's eyes widen. A Sky thing? Whoah...

Reaching into a big drawer in his desk, Captain Celbi pulls out a small fuzzy... thing. It's brown and fluffy-looking and wearing a little red scarf around its neck.

Pepito stares the thing in its shiny little black eyes. He sees himself in them, wide-eyed and open-mouthed and very, very confused.

Captain Celbi wiggles the thing around a little with a smile. "What do you think?"

Pepito doesn't know what this thing is.

Friend, he thinks, anyway.

Cautiously, he reaches both arms out for it. Captain Celbi gives it to Pepito, and Pepito immediately holds it to Pepito's chest.

"Awww," Apa Roier coos. "Look at him!"

For some reason, Captain Celbi looks like he wants to cry. He's going to? Why? It's just Pepito... unless Pepito did something wrong!?

"When I was a kid, I used to sleep with a little toy like that," Captain Celbi explains, voice thick. "That's what Bagi says, anyway. I don't really remember. But, apparently, it helped keep bad dreams away."

Pepito's eyes widen. It's magic!

"But, if it doesn't work, I want you to know that you can find me," Captain Celbi continues. He glances to his bed. "Or your father. We'll... probably be together."

"What do you mean, probably?" Apa Roier huffs.

Captain Celbi blushes. "I might be steering. I don't know."

"Yeah, and I'll be steering with you. Pepito-" Apa Roier looks at Pepito, which is surprising enough for Pepito to almost drop Pepito's new friend. "-ignore him. Find us, okay? We'll do what Mariana does and get rid of the nightmares. Just better. Because he sucks at it."

Pepito nods politely, but he knows that Apa Mariana is the best at getting rid of bad dreams.

But maybe, Pepito thinks, Pepito's new friend might be better.

(But probably not.)

After leaving Captain Celbi's cabin, Pepito decides to show his new friend all around the ship. It'll need to know its way around if it's going to be a pirate!

Mister Pac waves at Pepito's new friend. Miss Mouse squeals and laughs and covers her mouth. Miss Baghera awwws and runs below deck to get a little hat for Pepito's new friend.

Richarlyson freezes on the deck, and he stares.

"Where did you get that?" he asks.

Pepito shrinks into himself, holding his friend tighter.

Richarlyson's hands tighten around the mop.

"Did my dad get you that?" he asks.

Pirates lie. Pepito knows this.

So Pepito shakes Pepito's head.

But Richarlyson also knows that pirates lie, so he understands and groans and kicks his mop bucket over and stomps into the puddle angrily.

There aren't any adults nearby. The closest one is Miss Bagi, but she and Miss Mouse are talking about something a bit away. They aren't watching.

Scowling, Richarlyson stomps closer, and closer, and closer even as Pepito skitters backwards and backwards and backwards.

Pepito's back hits the ship's railing. The Sea Witch's warning about not touching the Ocean rings in Pepito's mind, and Pepito silently whimpers.

"You're really stupid, you know that, right?" Richarlyson calmly asks. He's so calm, but his voice is so cold. "I don't care if you're a baby, you're stupid."

Pepito's cheeks puff out in frustration. He is not a baby! And he isn't dumb! He's Pepito!

"How many times have I tried getting you to leave my dad alone?" Richarlyson continues. "Because he's my dad. I don't care if he's getting married to your dad, he's mine. Nobody else can have him. Not your dad, and definitely not you."

He pokes Pepito's forehead.

And then he rips the toy out of Pepito's arms and staggers back, holding it high above Pepito's head.

Pepito wails, magical silence protesting as he lets out as loud a cry as he can. It isn't much, it sounds more like a seagull than a shout, but he doesn't care because he just does it again and again and again as he jumps and tries getting his friend back.

Richarlyson looks up at the toy with a flat face.

"I'm going to tell him that you threw it overboard," Richarlyson says. "He won't give you a gift again after that kind of rejection."

Tears fill Pepito's eyes as Pepito keeps jumping. Where are the adults? Where are the Big Pepitos?

Pepito wildly shakes Pepito's head. Pepito tries to scream as Richarlyson runs towards the ship's railing and holds Pepito's friend over the side. But Pepito can't make any talking noises. That was the deal. Pepito can't talk.

Pepito pulls at Richarlyson's sleeve. He screeches hoarsely, unable to make any words.

Pirate, Pepito angrily thinks as Richarlyson just smiles at him. Richarlyson is a pirate.

"Wait, Pepito?" Pepito hears from somewhere outside of Pepito's very angry head. "Richarlyson? What's going on?"

But Pepito is a pirate, too.

So Pepito grits Pepito's teeth and jumps, grabbing Pepito's friend and pulling and kicking and crying and pushing.

He gets his friend back.

But Richarlyson is pushed so hard against the ship's railing in the process that he tips over the edge.

Pepito screams even as Miss Bagi swoops in and saves Richarlyson last-minute. He falls to the ground and holds his friend and screams even as gentle hands card through his hair and take off his glasses. Even as Apa Roier's strong arms pick Pepito up and hold Pepito close to his body, Pepito screams.

Pepito is a Bad Pepito.

Fuck it. I'm bored so I'm gonna share my Homebrew Dnd characters because Im a DM and player that has far too many characters and I feel like people should know about them! (I have art of them from like years ago but i need to completely revamp them so you will be getting picrews)

Picrew : Bright's Picrew Hell

Orchid WillowBrook

- a Kind little Satyr Genasi boi with an endless love and appreciation for animals

-He is a Wild Magic Barbarian who multiclassed with the College of Creation Bard who is extremly optimistic as well as naive. He is a Fire genasi who can only use her fire with heightened emotions as well as the fire appearing differently depending on said emotions. For example, when she rages her fire will be bright pink. When dealing with grief her fire will be a murky green. When sad the fire will be Sky blue, and so on.

- She grew up in the Fae realm with her mom and amy(his stepmom) who came into his life when he was around 2. Throughout his childhood he was heavily sheltered due to her mom's overprotective nature.

- His love for animals and nature stemmed from Amy taking him with her to her job as a caretaker at a Beastiary sanctuary in the school that he would later attend. During these trips he would learn about any and every animal he could

-And in the process of learning about the animals he so deeply loved, Orchid quickly learned how to speak to the animals without need for the spell "Talk to animals" and then soon after he had started to develop compression for any language he could possibly learn. And by the age of 10 he had learned all the languages he could aside from Druidic.

-Even with her extensive knowledge in languages and Beastiary, she is still somehow the densest and dumbest in her whole party. Common phrases she says/situations she gets into on the regular are "Why shouldn't I eat it? If it can fit in my mouth then whats the point of not eating it!" *she yells out in frustration as she tries to steal back the deadly magic item that her party member took from her* , "Here is the 100 gold for the bunny, sir!" *hands the pet store owner 125 gold*, "What? Well yeah i can read! I'm just... how do you say that word again? Oh right! Illiterate (Pronounced illy-iter-ate)and Have Profound Dyslexia (pronounced Dicks-lek-sa)" and (a favorite amongst the campaign) "What is Religion? AND WHY WONT ANYONE EXPLAIN IT TO ME!"

-She is vegetarian as she grew up with it and as her ability to speak to animals somehow got more powerful to the point that she hears screaming from raw and cooked meat.

-She grew up In the woods and was never really discouraged from letting herself run around with out any coverage. That's just how the fae was! And since she never bothered to cover up, now that she is required to it's very difficult to get used to

-She has a pet Blink dog named Bella. Bella is a bernese mountain dog that grows lilacs out of her back. She is a very burly dog that has on occasion bit someone's hand off but Orchid still pampers her none the less!

-She recently bought a Displacer beast kitten and named him Mars. He currently resides in Orchids backpack so he doesn't get lost

-his childhood friend is a pixie named Celbi who hides inside Orchids hair during quests. She has an affinity for knowing the in's and out's of the black market and drugs so she can be very helpful during missions

Might make more on these. Who knows! But I hope you like Orchid as much as I do! He was my 3rd ever dnd character and I still play as him for campaigns to this day. I have a lot of stories of dumb and outlandish things he has done so maybe I'll post about those!

Or: A VERY Happy Day In The Merpepito AU

For Spiderbit Week Day Seven: Fantasy

-

Finally, the ship has landed, and that means several things. Miss Mouse and Miss Baghera are going grocery shopping with Apa Roier, and Pomme is going with them. Mister Felps and Mister Pac are going to buy other supplies for the ship, like ropes and stuff. Mister Mike is leaving to meet up with his wife, apparently, but someone else is supposed to be replacing him on the ship, so that's exciting!!

And Pepito and Captain Celbi are on a secret mission.

Well, they're actually on two secret missions. Mission one is to get more candy because, according to Captain Celbi, the new person on the ship doesn't like when he eats too much candy. ("She needs to learn to mind her own business," he says.) Mission two is to find the perfect seashell for Apa Roier's gift.

That mission, Captain Celbi says, is the most important mission of all, and it has to be top secret. It's just him and Pepito...

"Why can't Pepito get the shells?" Richarlyson whines, kicking up sand with his bare feet.

...and Richarlyson.

Pepito doesn't mind Richarlyson coming along, but Pepito also wishes that Richarlyson wasn't there because! It was supposed to be! Just Pepito and Captain Celbi! It isn't fair!

But, Pepito supposes, Richarlyson is Captain Celbi's son, and he's Apa Roier's New Pepito. Richarlyson deserves to help find the shell. He makes Apa Roier happy, and isn't that what's important?

Captain Celbi and Pepito are walking along the beach just outside of the port town the ship is docked at. Pepito has a ball of string in his hands, and Captain Celbi has his boots on.

Richarlyson, however, is in the Ocean looking for shells. And he is not happy about it. He keeps splashing and kicking water at Pepito and complaining about being wet, and he keeps saying that Apa Roier deserves something cooler than "a stupid seashell, he's a mermaid, he knows what seashells look like, pai."

Captain Celbi gives his son a Look.

"Because I'm allergic to water," he explains, "and Pepito can't touch the ocean. You know this."

"You aren't even allergic!" Richarlyson argues. "You just can't swim! This water isn't even deep!"

He gestures down at the water with both hands with purpose. The water just barely reaches his ankles.

"I could trip," Captain Celbi mildly responds. "Keep looking, this has to be perfect."

Pepito nods in agreement. It has to be perfect! How else is Captain Celbi going to make Apa Roier smile the same way Awuelo Foolish makes Mister Vegetta smile?

Richarlyson grumbles, but he keeps searching. Captain Celbi keeps walking. And Pepito keeps holding the string.

Pepito still can't tie a knot even after, like, forever on a pirate ship. He can't even tie the little red shoes Miss Mouse made for him out of Demon Magic! How is he supposed to tie the necklace's knot?

This just means that Captain Celbi thinks a lot of Pepito, though. He must think that Pepito is super capable, which Pepito is! Pepito is the best pirate! (Almost.)

Pepito turns the string over in his hands. Captain Celbi stares at it out of the corner of his eye, licks his lips, tears his eyes away and shoves his hands into his coat's pockets.

Does he want to hold the string instead?

Pulling gently on Captain Celbi's sleeve, Pepito holds up the ball of string.

Captain Celbi immediately looks at the string. The little black bits in his eyes get super big for a second, but they're back to normal pretty quickly.

He smiles and shakes his head. "That's your job, Pepito. I need you to keep it safe for me."

"I can keep it safe!" Richarlyson says. He raises a hand and waves it wildly in the air. "Let me hold it!"

Pepito frowns and clutches the string close to Pepito's chest. Richarlyson already has a job, he doesn't need to steal Pepito's job, too. (He's already stolen one thing. Two is too much!)

Richarlyson's hand falls. He flips Pepito off, sticks his tongue out, and looks back at the water.

Captain Celbi chuckles and ruffles Pepito's hair. Then, he looks back at his son with a sigh.

"Just ignore him," Captain Celbi quietly says. "I don't think he's ever met anybody younger than him before. He isn't used to having to share the attention."

He sure isn't, Pepito thinks. He isn't sharing the attention at all. He's acting like a real pirate and stealing it.

But Pepito doesn't say that, mostly because Pepito can't. But Pepito doesn't say it with non-verbal communication either. Not with his air spelling, and not with his face.

(He's great at lying. Just like a real pirate.)

They walk for a few more minutes until Richarlyson shouts and bends over in the water. He digs around in the sand with his fingers for a second before popping back upright and waving a beautiful shell in the air.

It's pink, first off. And it's sort of spiral-y, like a narwhal's horn. And Pepito can tell just by looking at it that there isn't anybody still living in it.

Captain Celbi smiles. He looks down at Pepito, who gives him a thumbs-up.

"That's perfect," Captain Celbi declares. "Bring it here, Richas, let's put it on the string."

Richarlyson runs over with the shell clutched in his hands. He doesn't hold it out until Captain Celbi has bitten off a chunk of string with his pointy teeth and Pepito has taken a step back.

Turns out that Captain Celbi doesn't need Pepito to tie the knot. He does it himself, but he does hold the necklace up for Pepito's approval before actually tying it.

Once the necklace is put together, Captain Celbi looks down at it proudly.

And then there's a familiar shout from down the beach, and Captain Celbi immediately pales.

"Gatinho!" Apa Roier calls.

Captain Celbi continues smiling despite how sick he suddenly looks.

He turns towards Apa Roier and waves, tucking the necklace behind his back. "Guapito! I thought you were with Baghs and Mouse?"

Apa Roier catches up quickly. His smile is wider than Pepito has ever seen it, it's awesome!

He shrugs and puts his hands in his pockets casually.

"They didn't need my help," he explains. He pauses, face turning red slightly as his smile only grows wider. "And I missed you. What, trying to get rid of me so you can steal my son?"

Pepito's eyes widen, and he shakes his head vehemently. No!! Captain Celbi is Pepito's Captain, not Pepito's Dad! Pepito's Dad is Apa Roier! (Even if Pepito isn't Apa Roier's son.)

Richarlyson scowls and looks away.

Captain Celbi just laughs and shakes his head. "No, we just... had a mission. To take care of."

"Oh?"

Captain Celbi lets out a breath. He looks down at the ground, and then back up with a determined look on his face.

"Roier," he says, voice slightly deeper than it was a minute ago, "this is for you."

He holds the necklace out, letting it dangle in the air between them.

It's silent. The shell glistens wetly in the sunlight, as does the sudden water in Apa Roier's eyes.

Apa Roier swallows some air before slowly asking, "Gatinho, Cellbit... do you know what this means?"

Richarlyson grabs Captain Celbi's coat from behind, twisting its fabric between his hands nervously.

Pepito just watches Apa Roier. Why is he crying? Was it a bad gift?

Captain Celbi looks like he's wondering the same thing, but he slowly shakes his head and answers, "Here's what it means to me: it means that you're special. To me. And that... I want to make you happy. I spent forever trying to come up with the perfect gift for you, but it took until a very reliable source told me about this. The necklace."

He glances down at Pepito; Apa Roier follows Captain Celbi's gaze, and his face lightens suddenly.

Continuing, Captain Celbi says, "Roier, you are so important to me. Ever since I first saw you in the ocean all those years ago, I haven't been able to get you out of my head. And now you're part of my crew and you're on my ship and- and you make me so happy. And I want to make you happy, too.

"That's what this necklace means. It's a promise, from me to you. If you'll let me, I'll do my best every day to make your life as beautiful as you make mine."

He forces his head down towards the ground, not looking at Apa Roier's reaction.

Quietly, Richarlyson mutters, "Holy shit."

Pepito agrees. Wow...

Apa Roier is quiet for a very, very long moment.

And then he takes Captain Celbi's hand- the one holding the necklace, and he holds it tight with both of his hands. He takes a step closer, and then another, until they're inches away from each other.

Captain Celbi dares to lift his head to meet Apa Roier's gaze.

"You already make me happy," Apa Roier softly says. "You're the only human I've ever trusted, pirate or not."

His smile turns more gentle than Pepito's ever seen it.

Somehow, Pepito feels like he's interrupting something. Should he and Richarlyson even be here for this?

"And," Apa Roier finishes, "I'll stay on your ship as long as you'll have me."

"Always," Captain Celbi immediately says. He raises his free hand and clasps it over Apa Roier's. "Always."

Apa Roier laughs a little.

He says, looking down at their joined hands, "You know, you actually got the necklace thing right. They're our versions of your engagement rings."

Captain Celbi chokes on his own breath. "What?"

"So..." Apa Roier trails off, waiting for Captain Celbi to calm down before saying, "I accept. Acepto!"

He beams and leans in to... press his mouth against Captain Celbi's? What?

Richarlyson gags and turns away.

Pepito just frowns, confused. Is this an Adult Pepito thing?

Soon enough, both Apa Roier and Captain Celbi are laughing. They're also crying. And laughing some more. Their arms are around each other, and their bodies are pressed together, and they're both two seconds away from collapsing onto the sand in each other's arms.

...The gift was good, then?

-

As they head back to the ship, Apa Roier turns and scoops Pepito up off of the ground.

Pepito squeals and immediately latches Pepito's arms around Apa Roier's neck, mindful of the necklace now hanging over Apa Roier's chest.

"You little shit," Apa Roier says, sounding almost fond as he says it. "Who let you play Cupid, eh?"

Pepito shrugs. He doesn't know what a Cupid is.

Apa Roier rolls his eyes, but he presses a small, quick little kiss into the top of Pepito's head.

"Thank you," he whispers in the Language Of The Ocean.

Smiling, Pepito lets his eyes slip shut, and he falls asleep on the way back to the ship secure in his father's arms.

It was worse. So much worse than he thought.

Gold's first instinct was to grab a Hyper Potion from his bag in order to address the Wigglytuff's injuries. He approached her as she sat down on the picnic blanket. Forever coiled his body around the Wigglytuff to help her sit up, his tail pressed to the ground. He nudged her to face Gold with his snout, gently so as to not hurt her. He remembered being in this position before as a Houndour.

If anybody could help her, surely it would be his trainer! Right?

"C-can you open your mouth?" Gold asked in a soft voice.

The Wigglypuff did so, and Gold immediately wished he never asked.

No wonder she was in so much pain, Gold realized as his stomach lurched horribly. What a lot of people didn't realize was that the Wigglytuff line had flexible, inflatable bodies for a good reason: to protect their fragile internal organs and skeletons. Legitimate Pokémon battles, even with Wild Pokémon, had been shaped through years of League regulations preventing the use of excessive force. Whatever the poor Wigglytuff went through had caused extreme internal injuries, leaving a bloody, gory mess inside her mouth.

She let out a pained wheeze -- far from the melodic tones Pokémon of her species were known for.

"She needs a Pokémon center," Please hissed to Gold. She reached her snout into his bag and slid over his damaged yet still usable PokéGear. "We need the help of the living."

Gold fumbled to the PokéGear, his sleeves scrolling down to find the one connection to his mortal life who knew of his undeath. As he did so, Please lowered herself to the Wigglytuff, her voice lowering. "Now, dear, what happened?" she asked, using the same tone she used when coaxing Hurry to bed, "We're here to help you."

The Wigglytuff moved to speak, only emitting another breathless wheeze from her mangled throat. She was cut off by a sharp cough from Away. "Foolish creature," Celebi scolded, "Do you truly seek to harm yourself further? We will get nowhere if you force yourself to speak."

"She's doing her best." Typhlosion glowered at Celebi.

Celebi sighed dramatically and fluttered over to the Wigglytuff. "I simply believe there is a more sufficient way. Let me read her mind."

Please still looked irritated, but she stepped aside. Celebi had a point; after all, its psychic abilities were how it learned of Gold's plight -- and without them, her beloved trainer would have been condemned to a fate of eternal nothingness. The Time Travel Pokémon reached its single arm out to take Wigglytuff's hand, eye shut in concentration--

And both screamed.

Celebi had barely touched the other Pokémon before it recoiled in horror, nearly falling backwards into Hurry. The tiny spectral Cyndaquil dodged out of the way and hid behind his mother, disturbed. Wigglytuff sunk against Forever again and whined. Gold, startled, dropped his PokéGear into the ground.

"It's okay, Celbi." Hurry waddled to the shaken Celebi. "Just us. No big scary Pokémon coming back to eat you."

"Thank you, young one, but... this was no mere Pokémon at work." Celebi's face darkened as its voice dropped. "But rather... human hands."

Everybody, even the Wigglytuff, went dead silent. So silent, in fact, that the only sound to permeate it... was tearing fabric and breaking bone.

They turned to Gold, whose sleeves had dropped and whose body was showing the wear and tear caused by the monster from long ago. As his pupils vanished, a horde of Unown came bursting out from the wholes of his sleeves, intermingling with one another as they floated above, where the Wigglytuff could read them.

He floated over Wigglytuff, his expression frozen in rage. As she looked up, the message from the Unown became crystal clear.

SHOW ME WHO DID THIS TO YOU.
