Crispin: Hey Juliana! Whatcha making? I smells great!

Juliana: Just an Apple Cider Donut Bundt Cake for the League Club members. My mom and friends back in Paldea loved it when I made it for them. I wanna keep it a surprise, so don't tell them.

Crispin, groaning: I hate secrets!

Juliana: Please Crispin? I REALLY wanna surprise everyone...

Crispin: Fine...

Juliana: Thanks!

~Later~

Crispin: ...

Lacey: Crispin, you're never this quiet. Are you okay?

Crispin: ...

Drayton: I know that silence! You're keeping a secret!

Crispin: Juliana told me not to-

Kieran: *grabs Crispin by the shirt* WHAT HAPPENED WITH JULIANA?!

Juliana, walking into the club room with the cake: Thanks for keeping the secret, Crispin. Surprise! I've come with cake!

Carmine: This looks amazing, Juliana!

Amarys: What's the occasion?

Juliana: I just wanna show you guys how grateful I am for making me apart of this club.

Carmine and Lacey: AWWWW JULIE!!!

Juliana, cutting a slice and giving it to Kieran: Our Champion gets to taste it first!

Kieran, takes the plate from Juliana: T-thanks *takes a bite that causes his eyes to shoot open* It's... okay.

Crispin, eating his given slice: UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR!

Amarys: This is quite delightful.

Lacey: SO delicious!!!

Carmine: When did you learn to make this?!

Juliana, blushing: After getting back from Kitakami.

Drayton, with his slice: This is awesome, Julie! *notices Kieran getting closer to the cake* Look! KiKi wants seconds!

Kieran, his face erupting into a deep blush: MIND YOUR BUSINESS, DRAYTON!

Why is this the most adorable thing I've read all day??

Incorrect S&S Ds —

Drayton, bemused, as he walks in on Kieran in Juliana’s room: Hey Kieran!

Kieran, slowly and murderously turning Drayton’s way:

Drayton: Nice Shirt!

Kieran: asgfjduekskc—

~~

Kieran, about Juliana: I. Am sick and tired. Of being IGNORED.

Drayton: I wish we could ignore you.

Kieran, about to blow a gasket:

~~

Kieran: As for me, I will find a level of strength beyond Champion Rank!

Drayton: So what, like— Mega Champion? Ultra Champion?

Kieran:

Kieran: You’re mocking me.

Drayton: MAXIMUM Over Champion-!

Kieran: FUCK OFF Toothpaste!

Kieran, storming away to go train:

Crispin: Why do you antagonize him like that, you know he could team swipe you right?

Drayton: At this point it’s a game! If he gives in, I win. And he knows that. ;))

Proud to say I recognize these references for once, and they are immaculate.

S&S D Chapter 19 thoughts:

1. ARVEN AND DRAYTON TO THE RESCUE LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

(Ngl I cannot remove that mental image of Shady Briar T posing menacingly out of my head thanks to the ao3 comments 😂😂🤣🤣)

2. Lacey, please understand that Crispin burns the food he's trying to prepare for you not because he hates you but because his true feelings for you got in the way that leads to him messing up his cooking process... 😅😅😅

3. Not Crispin asking for love advice from Kieran- 😂🤣😂🤣😂

4. Not Juliana saying the "I can fix him" line 😭😭😭😭 (Also I agree with the ao3 comments. Arven does get his point across. While I understand where he is coming from, the way he's executing it is not really the best way to do it. At least Juliana tried to listen and proceeds to call her mom.)

5. I hope Juliana can pull herself together and talk things through with her mom. I also hope that the upcoming Movie Night could get everyone to chill down even though Carmine may not be able to be there if you plan on having it before she returns from Kitakami that is.

I am still a little scared of what might happen to poor Ribombee... I am also a bit worried about what Carmine might face later on in her investigation but at least she has Ogerpon and her own Pokemon to help out...

There is plenty of things to think about in this chapter and I am looking forward to see what might unfold from this point onwards.

They are an interesting duo for this scene here and frankly I could've given more context as to how they were around but eh xD glad it was enjoyable!!

LOL the second I learned that that's canon, I had to sneak it in somewhere. It's too funny/adorable for that ship. Poor Crispin is trying HIS BEST.

Definitely not a fallible idea LOL

I have been WAITING to write in that "I can fix him" line. Because look, as much as she has been sweet and caring, there definitely has been an underyling aspect of Juliana's developing mentality toward Kieran that I plan to address THROUGH BOOK TROPE DECONSTRUCTIONNNNNNNNNNN lez go B). And yeah, I love love love that the argument scene went down well enough for people to see the strengths & flawed perspectives of both Arven & Juliana.

.... :) laughing in Chapter 21

Yeah, there's a lot of moving pieces with Ribombee & Carmine, too. Trust me, something special is in store. <3

Maybe we could see the relationship between Crispin and Lacey in the background

oh this is def happening a lil bit, even if it's one-sided on Crispin's end xD

I have some ideas with what Lacey's feelings could be like for characters, still churning on the direction
