Arvin and kieran meeting a shy but sweet new girl with this team.

Tapu koko who through some magical shenanigans can't be more then a mile away from the girl with out falling incredibly ill.

A motherly salazle who has a charm that allows her to talk English

A blood moon ursaluna who's the girls main body guard and hes very protective

And a female iron valiant who acts like a big sister. Who threatens anyone that if they hurt the girl she'll cut them down

Gotta say I appreciate the addition of Blood Moon Ursa. Officially my fav gen 9 ground type <3

............

Arven

The moment he met you, he realized you were too nice for your own good sometimes...being the shy and sweet transfer student who winds up being his partner in many classes.

He might tease you from time to time, although he lightens up only after he realizes Mabosstiff likes you--which mean he has to like you as well and not accidentally be too rude.

During battle studies, you two have a match and he's shook when you suddenly bring out Tapu Koko.

Somehow you have a powerful Alolan Guardian deity wrapped around your finger...yet you never once bragged about it.

But Arven fully believes you have a Ditto or Zorua who just chooses to impersonate a Tapu, wondering when it's gonna drop the act.

Soon he finds out that nope, it's the real deal, and you have some strange connection that doesn't allow it to wander too far from you.

Otherwise, it falls violently ill and its magic abilities are weakened.

You're certain it was hexed by someone who wanted to punish it for its mischief, so you've been travelling around hoping to find a "cure".

And ofc that meant Koko had to abandon its duties at Melemele Island and become your Pokémon. It was reluctant at first, but quickly became a loyal friend to you.

Eventually Arven meets the rest of your team, including a female Iron Valiant that escaped from the crater and made herself your ally after saving you from trouble.

She's your literal knight in shining armor, acting like a big sister figure instead of an emotionless robot programmed to attack.

Oftentimes she comes out of the pokeball herself if she senses you're in any kind of danger.

Blood Moon Ursaluna is another bodyguard of yours....who is MASSIVE and utterly terrifying.

All you did was go to Kitakami on a school trip and you suddenly come back with an ancient Ursaring variant/evolution??

How tf are you picking up so many dangerous Pokémon?

Just when he thinks Salazzle is the only "normal" one on your team...

He finds out that she can actually talk, addressing him by name and asking what he was cooking one day.

For a split second he thinks her pheromones/toxins were making him hallucinate...until he sees you having a full blown conversation with her.

It turns out that she developed the ability to speak human language, using it to scare off a group of male Salandits who were threatening you.

At first, she only ever said random words she picked up from humans, but you taught her how to speak coherently and gave her some books...and now she's 100% fluent in English.

All in all, Arven finds your team very...diverse.

You don't really do many Pokémon battles, as they all act like your bodyguards/friends instead. But then again he's never been too battle-crazy either (unlike a certain girl he knows who'd give ANYTHING to battle Tapu Koko).

Kieran

Your personality kinda reminds him of his old self: shy and sweet, oftentimes hiding behind protective figures, etc.

Part of him kinda hated it, but he was good at hiding it.

Was instantly impressed by your Pokémon team, especially the robotic-looking Gardevoir/Gallade hybrid.

Although being a country boi he's bewildered about her LED eyes and her robotic trills, and is definitely not too thrilled about all Pokémon looking like her in some distant/potential future.

Tapu Koko leaves him bewildered, especially when you explained your connection to it while it roamed around the coastal biome, reminiscing about its home in Alola.

He's heard rumors of the Blood Moon Ursaluna back in Kitakami, not caring for it as much as Ogerpon, but he NEVER expected to see that someone like you could have tamed it.

During a battle, Incineroar's flames almost burned you, and your Ursaluna was enraged and knocked him out with one Headlong Rush. Completely unprompted.

Since then Kieran made a point to instruct the feline to be more precise with his fire attacks..lest he became weak.

You impressed the League Club with your talking Salazzle...but at first he believes you're just being irritating and distracting..

Until she talks to him directly, and he's like "...oh wowzers..so you can understand me????"

That's the most shocked anyone in the club has ever seen their leader...

Being motherly as she is, your Salazzle often asks how he's feeling and how Hydrapple is....and he usually shuts down and tells her to mind her business.

But after Area Zero's events, when she asked him again he broke down crying and the poison/fire lizard lowkey panicked.

She had to get you to calm him down.

Since then you two have become close friends, and while in the beginning he was envious of your unique team (that also reminded him of somebody else), he realizes you thought his Hydrapple and battle setups were unique, too.

It honestly made his day.

please how did you come up with her design I've been trying to make a design for my poppy playtime oc but it always ends up looking like rubbish please give tips😭😭

Hello, thank you for asking! Truth be told is that it took me a bit to figure out how to do LoolaLamb in general, she didn't come out too well on the first try xD I had to tweak a couple of things in her like the hair, colors or snout.

Initially, I wasn't quite sure of what animal picking for her, but then I went with the lamb idea for a few reasons:

- When I was little, I used to have a lamb plush I used to love dearly. Sadly I don't have any pictures to show since I no longer have it with me so I tried to look for one that looked similar on the Internet- But that was the main inspiration for her character. And since the Smiling Critters have their own plushies as well, I thought it would be interesting to make one of them after a real toy. I also took reference from other characters in media that were based on sheeps, like in Pokémon (Flaaffy & Whimsicott).

I would always recommend using references if you ever don't know where to start with a design. And in the case of a Poppy Playtime OC, you can look for references if you desire as well, or even turn a beloved toy of yours into a character, anything works!

In many cultures, the lamb is a revered symbol of innocence, purity, and sacrifice. It is often associated with religious connotations, particularly in Christianity, where it symbolizes the embodiment of Christ's innocence and the sacrificial lamb offering redemption and atonement for humanity's sins. I simply liked the symbology of this because I'm always a sucker for that when it comes to creating characters;;

This was mainly due to lore reasons, her association with Catnap, a follower of an entity, the Prototype, whom he workships and would do anything to get its blessing. LoolaLamb "sacrified" her voice for the Prototype (well, it actually was that Catnap took away her voicebox with that excuse).

Her name "LoolaLamb" is a word play for "lullaby", given the role she was going to have in the Smiling Critters line, a replacement for Catnap who would have a similar role as his, except that instead of using a gas to make people fall asleep, she would use her voice. Sheeps and lambs are also heavily associated with sleep and dreams, given the advice: if you can't get to sleep, just “count sheep” until you drift off into a peaceful slumber.

Sheep are wanderers. It's their nature. Even in the best and safest of places, places that provide protection, water, and food, sheep are known to wander off, get lost, and sometimes eaten by predators.

Her color pick was mainly because even if the smiling critters have more or less the colors of the rainbow and there are already two blue colored critters (Bubba Bubbaphant being more of a neutral blue or azure and Craftycorn cyan or aquamarine), I noticed that there were no dark blue or indigo colored ones. My first idea for LoolaLamb was to give her more violet colors, given her correlation to Catnap, but at the same time I wanted her to stand out amongst the others, being a little more of her own character, so that´s why I ended up picking a different color pallete for her.

And those are pretty much the basic things I had in mind when creating LoolaLamb! Of course it doesn't always have to be so elaborated with all characters, but I'd always recommend to find references, information, symbolism, anything that might help you with the creation of your character in case you don't know where to start or are simply stuck!

I might not be the best when it comes to explaining things but I hope this has helped you and I wish you the best in your creative process, anon! 🙏🏻💖

Thank you so much for the tag, @applescabs!!! 🥰💚

Are you named after anyone? After, of all things, a 15th century noblewoman (whom I always thought was a saint, but actually wasn't, I just found out!) My mom saw an amazing statue of her on a trip and loved it, and her name, so much that she named me after her.

When was the last time you cried? I teared up a little yesterday when I got my friend's wedding invitation in the mail. The last time I properly cried was... huh. I think a couple of weeks ago, watching TV. That's a fair amount of time for me to go without crying, so go me!

Do you have kids? No, and I don't want any.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? A bit less than I used to, and not a lot in general. Only when I think it will be funny, or when I need to make an underhanded comment about something that ticked me off but I can't do much about.

What sports do you play? None. I am a very inactive person, sadly. I hope I can at least start going on more walks as the season keeps warming up.

What’s the first thing you notice about people? If they seem friendly or not.

What’s your eye colour? A very, very dark brown.

Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings all the way. I can't handle scary stuff very well at all. 🫣

Any special talents? I'm fairly good at languages (I learned them easily in school and I usually have a decent shot at figuring out what a word might mean if it's in a language that has at least some relation to the ones I know/have studied). Sadly, the only one I'm still fluent in (besides Italian, of course) is English, because it's the only one I use regularly.

Where were you born? Italy, smack dab in the middle of the top part of the boot, lol

What are your hobbies? Writing fic, reading fic, scrolling Tumblr, playing video games (mostly just Pokémon), playing D&D, and very occasionally drawing or weaving bracelets or assembling jigsaw puzzles.

Do you have any pets? My two cats, Sasha and Misha 🥹🥹 They're tabby-and-white twins, they're almost 5 years old, and they're the ones I come home to. 💚💚

How tall are you? 164cm, although sometimes when I'm in a hurry I just say 1.65m 😅

Favourite subject in school? All the sciences and Math, though I also liked English when I started having it as a subject.

Dream job? Writing a single novel, or a trilogy or something like that, that becomes inexplicably popular, gets a movie deal, and gives me enough residuals to potentially live comfortably while bumming around on my couch writing fanfic for the rest of my life.

I am tagging (but only if they want to answer, zero pressure, as usual!) @nicoroni, @imaginatorofthings, @zimithrus1, @thekuraning, @saltedpin, @horikoshi-secret-ao3-account, @damedanedameyodamenanoyo, and anyone else who sees this and wants to play! 💖💖💖

choi beomgyu ~ call it what you want

pairing: beomgyu x soobin's sister!reader summary: when you and beomgyu start dating, you aren't sure how to tell your brother. genre: brothers best friend, kinda friends to lovers warnings: fem!reader, pet names, this is the first time i tried fake texts lol, some swearing word count: 1.9k click here for my masterlist!

you didn't mean to fall in love with him. you really didn't.

after spending some time abroad, you decided to go back to korea since you missed your family, and the safe nostalgia of your hometown. you hadn't seen your brother since he debuted, and you were so excited to meet his friends and crash at their dorm for a week before you went to stay with your parents.

and then beomgyu happened.

he knew you were off limits and vice versa, but neither of you were ever one for following the rules. it's like you were magnets, wherever one of you went the other couldn't help but follow.

you got close pretty quickly, as you did with all of the boys - they just loved your laidback personality, unlike your leader brother soobin.

you spent the week playing video games, board games, cooking together, and even helping them clean up around the dorm ~ they were boys after all.

and when your week was over, they begged you to stay.

beomgyu's heart started breaking as soon as you started packing your suitcase, and he begged you for your phone number before you left - and that's where it all began.

you did leave that day, but you spent your entire train journey texting beomgyu, sending each other memes and silly selfies to fill your time.

you couldn't help but giggle at your phone as you got to your parent's house. you usually wouldn't be so bold but beomgyu was just so funny and so so sweet - you weren't gonna let him get away just because your brother would be mad. what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him <3

when wednesday rolled around, beomgyu made some dumb excuse about going to a game store with heesung. kai tried to tag along - spurting something about a pokémon game he really wanted to buy. "they don't.. they don't sell pokémon there!"

"huh? what game store doesn't have pokemon?" kai was puzzled.

"uh, this one! and it's a private event... sorry hyuka!"

smooth gyu. real smooth.

after a few more excuses and fixing his hair for the 5th time, he put on a mask so he wouldn't be recognised and plodded over to the cafe, just a few blocks away. when he got there he noticed he was about 10 minutes early, so he sat at a table and sent you a text to let you know he was there.

his heart nearly fell out of his ass when his vision went black, your cold hands covering his eyes. "guess who!"

"holy shit Y/N you scared the shit out of me!!" you giggled at his dramatics as he clutched a hand over his chest. you grabbed his other hand and dragged him over to order with you.

you bought the drinks for the two of you, much to his dismay. "Y/Nieeee i wanted to pay for you," he pouted cutely. "it's okay beomie, you can pay next time ~" you cooed. his cheeks flamed red at how cute you were, but mostly at you insinuating you wanted to hang out with him again already.

"next time huh? what makes you think i wanna hang out with you again?" he couldn't miss the opportunity to tease you. "well, there's your blushy little face... and your stubbornness to pay me back, i'd say there's gonna be at least one more date." he felt even warmer at that comment.

"date?"

"well duh." you giggled. at his silence you suddenly got nervous, "unless you don't want it to be! that's okay too! like a friend date!" you frantically tried to cover for yourself while beomgyu was still processing you assuming it was a date. "no no no i want it to be a date! i really want it to be."

his voice became small and he had a shy little smile on his face, looking at you with big sparkly eyes. you were about to respond when the barista called your names to collect your drinks.

your date went really well! so well in fact that you went on another one only two days later. beomgyu finished his schedules early, so while the others decided to go out shopping and to see a movie together, he politely declined. they didn't ask what he was doing instead and he was definitely grateful - his excuse game was a tad... lacking.

he met you at the river, he'd planned to take a cute walk with you along the riverside and visit his favourite ice cream shop. he knew he was whipped the second you ordered mint choc chip and he didn't even care, didn't even bat an eyelid. he even paid for it. you did promise to let him pay after all ~

beomgyu thought the date was going well, so his confidence spiked a little when he looked over to see the smile that hadn't left your face all afternoon. as you walked, he switched his ice cream over to his left hand and used his now free one to lace your fingers with his gently.

your hand felt warm in contrast to his cold one, and he gave it a little squeeze.

when you squeezed him back he felt his heart soar and gave you a look of complete adoration. yeah, he was whipped ~

a few weeks of little dates, sneaky meetings and a whole lot of texting led to him thinking about you 24/7. the members had started to notice something was up, but beomgyu just stuck to his excuses - and he was sick of it. he wanted you to be his, and to be able to tell the whole world how much he liked you.

by the world he meant just his friends and family - he wasn't going to subject you to more idol hate or stalking than you already got just for being soobin's sister, but that didn't make him want you any less. you understood him - you understood his job, his wildest dreams, his insecurities, his childish moments, all of him - and he appreciated you beyond words.

he didn't want to text you so late when he knew you'd be busy tomorrow - you finally got an apartment in the city and you were moving a few things early tomorrow morning - but he knew if he didn't use this rush of confidence and adrenaline now, he didn't know when he'd be able to do it.

his brain was running at 100 miles an hour, he just wanted to shove his face in a pillow and scream. he'd just bagged the girl of his dreams over text like a loser, but he succeeded!! and the only catch was the fact she was soobin's sister. yeah maybe he broke the one rule regarding his sister that he gave him, but he'd get over it, right?

he'd break as many rules as he had to if it got you to call him gyubear again.

it was d-day. it had been about a week and a half since you made it official, and now that you had your own apartment you could spend more time with your silly boyfriend in the comfort of your own home, but he could only make so many excuses for sneaking off - and so you devised a plan.

you'd convinced soobin to let you come over to hang out, and when the others caught wind of the idea they jumped at the chance to hang out with you again ~ so saturday night, you'd spill the beans.

when you arrived, your boyfriend and brother were still huddled on the couch eating ice cream, and you couldn't help but giggle at them. "hey lovebirds, am i interrupting?" you joked. beomgyu went wide eyed and soobin just gave you his iconic stink eye.

"Y/N! welcome back!" taehyun greeted you, walking past on his way to the kitchen.

it was nice being in the company of the boys again, but keeping your flirty remarks with beomgyu at bay until after dinner proved to be more difficult than you thought. he'd find himself stopping halfway through his sentences when he realised he was about to slip up and just stop talking.

you bought everyone takeout for dinner, and you all sat around the kitchen table talking about things that had happened recently. "yeah so we found this HUGE rat in the dorm and-" "oh yeah! beomgyu told me about that, that must have been terrifying!" you cut into yeonjun's story without thought.

"huh? since when do you talk to beomgyu?"

oopsies.

"uh, last time we were here she gave me her number! so we could uh... play fortnite!" beomgyu tried to cover for you - but failed miserably.

"Y/N hates fortnite... what's going on?" soobin wondered.

"do we just say it?" beomgyu asked you as if everyone else weren't literally sat at the same table. "well now you've said that we'll have to." you dropped your fork giving him an angry look. he knew there was no bite behind it, but he still felt bad for fucking up - although, you fucked up too.

"say what?" yeonjun asked the obvious, shoving another forkful of salad in his mouth.

"we're dating." you clarified. yeonjun stopped chewing and just looked at you with his jaw hung open. soobin looked mortified, letting out a meek "w-what?"

"before you get mad, it didn't happen on purpose! well it did, but we just wanted to keep in touch and then... i don't know we started spending more time together and... yeah."

"if you're gonna be mad at anyone be mad at me, i asked for her number anyway," beomgyu added. "it was me you told not to try anything, not her."

it was a rare moment where beomgyu was genuinely serious. you meant a whole lot to him and he'd be damned if he let your brother be mad just because he was in love with you.

"i'm not mad."

both of you let out a sigh of relief before soobin began again. "how long?" he asked. "we've only been official for like, 10 days? but we've been talking since i came here last time."

soobin nodded in thought. "it's okay, i know you can't choose who you love and i'm not gonna police you just because you're my baby sister. i'm trusting you beomgyu." although his words were accepting, gyu still felt threatened. "thank you soobin. i promise to take care of her." noticing his discomfort, you held his hand under the table. "i'm just sad you didn't tell me sooner. i mean, i guess i didn't make it seem like i'd be happy for you so i get it, but congratulations."

"see, that wasn't so bad? thank you for your blessing soobin." you smiled at your older brother, who gave you a nod in return before going back to his food. the table was silent for a few seconds, until it was broken by a flabbergasted kai who still hadn't quite processed what just happened.

"so is nobody else gonna acknowledge the fact that BEOMGYU is the least bitchless person at this table?"

New intro post (Got tired of updating the old one)

I've been updating the same pinned post for way too long and I'm bored of it, so I'm just making a new one.

Name's Judith! You can still call me Jess if you remember that pseudonym, I don't care rofl. Still a Jessilina fangirl even now but honestly I'm a bigger fan of Jessilee (Shame that they both stopped performing :{ ) I don't think I'll ever stop liking either of them, even though its been years now.

I've been on this hellsite since 2012 and I unfortunately have no plans to leave.

I've got two Pokemon now! Good Ol' Perseus the corviknight's still here, but now I've got a Solrock too! Their name's Hylia.

// ooc under the cut

All blinkies above were made on blinkies.cafe! Go check it out! (And userboxes were made by @/teamskullgruntno12 :])

Hello! @act11as here again with uh. The blog that I was not planning to make! Yeah, oops!

My rotomblr hub account is @battle-subway-aftershow!

OOC posts will be green tagged as #ooc and #moth's yapping to avoid confusion, and all triggers will be tagged as #[word] tw for convenience!

The main "gimmick" of this blog is that it's not someone's new account, but instead an account that's been around for over 10 years. Feel free to pretend to be an old follower/mutual/etc, that's part of the fun!

Mod's a minor, muse is an adult. don't be weird, or die by my blade (get mocked relentlessly)

Boundaries/Guidelines:

*ALMOST ANY kind of Pokemon Irl blog can interact! Eeby deebies, sapient pokemon, evil teams, whatever! Judith will probably humor you! She's used to rotomblr weirdness.

*Self-Insert fallers, please do not interact. I personally cannot handle these kinds of blogs. Self-insert ocs are fine, but the idea of a real person on rotomblr being isekaid into Pokémon is not.

In-Character anon hate is fine! I have the right to not answer everything however, so don't expect your ask to get answered.

I dunno just don't be a dick? That's all I really have to say lmao- of course being mean ic is fine but just like, don't go too far yknow?

Organizational tags:

[name] the [pokemon] - Easy way to find posts about one of Judith's pokemon!

Judie rambles - General posting tag

From the archive - Will likely be used in the future! Since I can't create a 10+ year long posting history, "old posts" will be under this tag!

Magic anons are off, unless specified otherwise (will likely stay off forever)

[pepperochau]

hello everyone and good afternoon, my name is pepperochau and i am here to talk to you today about the one, the only, the futher mucker itself: dudunsparce. this will be a bit of the read, so follow the cut to see the rest!

majestic, is it not? personally i was not the biggest fan when it was revealed, but it has grown on me since then.

now, there is at current a very strong, loud refrain in the pokemon fandom that dudunsparce is a joke, and was always meant to be a joke. they say "people have wanted an epic dragon evolution for twenty years, and gamefreak has trolled them"; "dudunsparce is supposed to be a bad/lame/dumb design because it's a joke".

however! i disagree. i have been a lifelong fan of dunsparce, ever since i was a young malformed guttersnipe who thought it was a mythical pokemon, and i can safely say i've never wanted it to become a dragon. however, i also have never viewed it as a joke pokemon. so to hear people write off the design of dudunsparce as simply "a joke" has frustrated me to no end. so to you, reader, i would like to provide an explanation for why dudunsparce is what it is—a mess.

so, let's start at the beginning of the line with dunsparce.

many people will look at dunsparce's name and their mind immediately goes to dunce, sparce. and, fair enough, as it does look a bit dopey doesn't it? Other languages also give it names meaning "dumb" or "oafish" like the German Dummisel and the French Isolourdo respectively. now, I cant speak on how strong brand consistency was back in Gen 2, so maybe they were just aping off the same perception most English speakers had of the name. or it is possible that TPCi had always intended this interpretation. who is to say.

but there is a more obvious, widely overlooked aspect of its name: Dun. as in a subadult version of an insect, traditionally used when describing mayflies.

IN FACT this is such an underacknowledged aspect of its name that even on Bulbapedia, one of the most important secondary sources of information on pokemon next to serebii, i was hard pressed to find any mention of it at any point earlier than 2022, in an article revision that SIMILARLY went unnoted and uncommented on.

future editions of this article maintain both definitions of the word "dun".

but with this aspect of its name in mind, you'll notice that the rather un-tsuchinoko-like aspects of its design become more coherent, like its near-useless bug wings and stripey back. because its not just a snake with a fat tummy, but a fat bumblebee as well! wow!!! so cool!!!!!

now that this preamble is out of the way, we can finally move onto the mon of the hour: dudunsparce

pokedex entries for dudunsparce's 3-segment form mention that "the number of segments a Dudunsparce’s body has is determined by the Pokémon’s genes." at first glance it feels like a bit of a lore cop out for a formchange with no effect on gameplay. but remember how dunsparce has some partial insect inspiration? with this in mind, dudunsparce reveals itself to be, first and foremost, a reference to the Drosophila fruit fly's bithorax mutation:

as you can see, sometimes the genes for the termination of the thorax are copied accidentally, resulting in a copied thorax in the afflicted insect! and with "dun" meaning a subadult insect, we can reconceptualize dudunsparce from a simple joke, to a pokemon species whose inherent genetic mutations have kept it from reaching its true adult form! it even has the stripey butt that a fruit fly has!! so cool!!! a bit sad though, don't you think?

but there are still yet unexplored depths to the design of dudunsparce. for example: why does dudunsparce have a two-layered drill tail? why is there a random spiral on its first segment? well, allow me to introduce you to yet another muckerfuther: the cuélebre.

now i know what you may be thinking: this looks nothing like dudunsparce. and certainly, the resemblance is minimal. but allow me to share with you some mythological information about the cuélebre:

The cuélebre is a multi-winged serpent from Cantabrian and Asturian folklore, both of which are regions of modern-day spain.

The cuélebre's impervious scales grow thicker with age

The cuelebre's only weak spot is its throat

The cuelebre lives in deep caves

The cuelebre retreats to Mar Cuajada in old age, a place with diamonds covering the bottom

sound familiar? it should, because you will notice that dudunsparce mirrors all of these traits almost to a T:

Paldea is based on Spain, and Dudunsparce is a fat snake with multiple wings; or, a winged serpent.

Dudunsparce has much bulkier defensive stats than its preevolution Dunsparce (125/80/75 compared to 100/70/65), and has an extra hard "cap" layer on its tail

There is a seemingly random spiral pattern on the underside of Dudunsparce's first segment, or on its throat, regardless of form

Dudunsparce is mentioned by the pokedex to make sprawling nests in the bedrock, and is only find in the wild in Area Zero

The lowest point of Area Zero is covered in large, diamantine crystals

and for the people who still want dudunsparce to be a "joke": the cuélebre isn't even a very impressive dragon in itself: it hoards treasure and fairy women, and if you encounter it on the night of Midsummer, then you can kill it by tricking it into eating a bread or cake that's full of pins or hot irons. the worst thing it does in folklore that i can find is that it floods a town once because they weren't able to give it its daily cow head. the cuélebre is a nuisance first, and a (sort of) dragon second.

now, i don't want to be raining on people's fun, so i'll take a moment to take my lumps: i wasn't able to find very much information on the cuélebre, so there's a strong chance i am misrepresenting the creature here. aso, people are allowed to view dudunsparce as just a joke pokemon, and to like it as sich, and that's fine! i'm not here to tell you how to engage with your hobbies!

but, when i see that being the only reason that people give for liking the design? when i see that being given as the only reason given for why it looks the way it does? when i see pokemon videos on youtube that quickly bring up and then dismiss dudunsparce as a joke as if that was the only reason behind its design at all, without any kind of additional explanation or exploration of the design? it gets a bit frustrating, and tiresome. i mean hell, i maybe spent about three hours total in researching for this post, and i can confidently say that's far more time than all poketubers have spent on it combined.

the short of it os, that there is always more to be uncovered with fictional material. even with something so seemingly simple as a fat, goofy snake.

He/Him - 22 - Archen/Zorua Mix - Flying/Dark - Careful - Defeatist - 0.6 m/2’0”

Moveset:

Fake Tears

Pluck 

Feint Attack

Ancient Power

Roku lives in a hidden underground base. He rarely leaves the base, fearing running into any other Pokémon.

Fun Fact(s): Started as an idea for an ask blog about a weird Archen who lives in an abandoned underground base. Originally was set in the regular Pokémon world with humans, he was just a weirdo who walked on his wings. He then got redesigned into Archen/Zorua mix.

Joki:

They/Them - 25 - Vaporeon Variant - Water/Grass - Relaxed - Water Absorb - 1 m/3’3”

Moveset:

Giga Drain

Water Pulse

Aurora Beam

Aqua Ring

Joki is quiet and calm most of the time, preferring solitude but not minding the company of their friends. They're very laid-back and always there for their friends.

Fun Fact(s): Created alongside Raiko but actually had something written down about them: The idea was a kelpie, or similar water creature inspired Vaporeon. The name is Finnish for river, but apparently also how you'd spell the word for vapor in Japanese with the Latin script. Very fitting for a Vaporeon. Later decided for them to be a Vaporeon variant with Water/Grass typing.

Toren:

He/Him - 26 - Umbreon/Houndoom Mix - Dark/Fire - Naughty - Unnerve - 1.1 m/3'7”

Moveset:

Bite

Fire Fang

Taunt

Scary Face

Likes to tease others, though he can come across as a little scary. Usually has Fern pull him back in line.

Fun Fact(s): First of the characters made specifically for this story. Decided to make him a mix of some of my favourite dark types. Decided to make the Umbreon markings red instead of yellow since I felt they looked better and then just went wild on the design from there.

Fern:

He/They - 28 - Leafeon/Ninetales Mix - Grass/Fire - Sassy - Chlorophyll - 1 m/3’3”

Moveset:

Magical Leaf

Flamethrower

Sunny Day

Synthesis

Seems nice and friendly but is even meaner than Toren, though can hold himself back better. Tends to behave as an older brother to the younger members.

Fun Fact(s): The one whose colours I struggled the most with. I could have gone for autumnal yellow orange brown, but I simply don't like those colours much so I went with shiny version so it would work with the greens better. The turquoise came from not wanting to use the brown of Leafeon and the purple of shiny Ninetales didn't work well so I went with something entirely different instead.

Vari:

He/They - 50s - Absol - Dark - Serious - Justified - 1.2 m/3’11”

Moveset:

Detect

Slash

Night Slash

Zen Headbutt

Very serious protector. Rarely interacts with others, so he’s a bit awkward around other Pokémon. Very kind and only wants to help others to the best of their abilities.

Fun Fact(s): The design idea was an immediate idea, but then I struggled with the name. I went with varis (Finnish for crow) but without the s.

Legendaries:

Zero:

They/Them - Centuries - Reshiram/Zygarde Mix - Dragon/Fire - Quiet - Turboblaze - 4 m/13’1”

Moveset:

Outrage

Blue Flare

Earthquake

Glare

Loner who rarely shows themself around others. Though they prefer solitude, they cannot abandon someone in need.

Fun Fact(s): Started from an idea to fuse my two favourite legendaries together. I made a custom preset in Feral Heart to make the idea true many years ago. Though I have no idea what the character's name was, as all of that is gone, I had some images saved. The name is just first thing I thought of when mixing some of the letters from the legendaries together. For this story though I decided to use Zygarde's 10% instead of the 50% I used originally, so it's a new design.

Astrolupe:

They/It - Eons - Astrolupe - Psychic - Gentle - Starblind (Prevents the opponents from targeting any other Pokémon) - 3 m/9’10”

Endlessly kind and caring, always working hard to make sure everyone is happy, even to the point of neglecting their own well-being.

Fun Fact(s): Idea that started as me realizing I wanted a legendary but none of the existing matching with the theme and design I like together. Eventually worked out as a way of explaining the eggs. The name is just space related word + canine related word that felt like they worked well enough together.

Cygnova:

He/They/It - Eons - Cygnova - Dark - Lonely - Slow Pull (Lowers opponents’ speed over time) - 4.2 m/13’9”

Used to enjoy his job and working together with Astrolupe, but grew bitter as Pokémon began seeing death as a terrible thing. It withdrew from Astrolupe, though they were the only one who truly loved it. Struggling with the various negative emotions led to him striking at Astrolupe.

Fun Fact(s): Counterpart to Astrolupe that didn't exist at first but realized I might as well make and went from there. The name is Cyg from the first known black hole Cygnus X-1 (abbreviated Cyg X-1) + nova from supernova. I somehow accidentally gave both of them exactly 4 tails without meaning to. I just drew tails till I felt it was a good number. Apparently that number was exactly 4.

Side Characters:

Zar:

He/Him - 18 - Flygon - Ground/Dragon - Jolly - Levitate - 2 m/6’7”

Moveset:

Earthquake

Dragon Claw

Fly

Helping Hand

Enthusiastic and optimistic. Travels around to help other Pokémon with their troubles.

Fun Fact(s): A character I made a custom preset on Feral Heart. Simply called Flygonaut because the idea was Flygon + Raz Psychonauts. I guess I just felt the names and aesthetics (goggles) worked well I suppose? Anyway I do love Flygon so I decided to add him to this story as a side character.

Pokidoki:

He/They - 24 - Mightyena - Dark - Quirky - Quick Feet - 1 m/3’3”

Moveset:

Thief

Yawn

Sucker Punch

Play Rough

Very strange Mightyena who seems to not have grown up at all. They just want to play around all the time.

Fun Fact(s): Another character originating from Feral Heart. Pokidoki was one of my several FH accounts and I decided to make a character representing each account and this was Pokidoki, a red and white Mightyena with a big red collar. I kept the name even if it's a bit strange as an actual name. Decided to add them as another side character to show up in the story.

Part 1 Reading Husky and his White Cat Teacher 二哈和他的白猫师尊 + learning Chinese

Hello new blog!! I'm going to start 🌸fresh 鲜 🌸

Ok. I have read this book in English before, and I know absolutely NO ONE in the history of ever has tried learning Chinese through this book. I already have some experience (up to HSK3 lmao 🐣) but I'm determined. Fight me I'm doing it. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

How I decided on this was a few years back I wanted to read Husky and His White Cat Teacher 二哈和他的白毛师尊 but it was all fan translated. After a certain point, the fan translators wanted me to support the author, so I bought the original Chinese copy and sent them a picture as proof of support, then I got the document of the translation to continue reading. I sobbed so hard and felt so many more feelings than ever before, and despite the dark side of the book, it became my favorite instantly. Now I bought the official translated book and am excited to collect them all like Pokémon. 

*book cover -why are they so beautiful pls my heart-*

However, I still have that one Chinese book, and I'm an impatient b!tch so I decided to read it in the meantime. Except I don't want just a translation, I want to READ and UNDERSTAND ok. Grab your pen and tea, here we go 🍵

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

Here goes the translation for the first two sentences of the book. If i got anything wrong or you'd like to add something, please comment!!

WARNINGS: Swearing

•─────────•°•❀•°•─────────•

墨燃还没当皇帝的那会儿，总有人骂他是狗。

掌柜骂他狗儿子，客人骂他狗崽子，堂弟骂他狗东西，他母亲最厉害，骂他狗娘养的。

Before Mo Ran became emperor, people always called him a dog. 

The manager called him a 'son of a bitch', the customers called him a 'bitch pup', his little cousin called him a 'shitty dog', and his mother was the best, saying he was raised by a bitch.

•─────────•°•❀•°•─────────•

VOCABULARY + grammar:

🐶墨燃 Mo Ran is the name of the main character of the novel.

1. 还没当 - not yet - Hái méi dāng

还有 - also; furthermore; in addition - Hǎi yǒu 还是 - had better; nevertheless - Hǎi shì 还好 - furthermore; not bad - Hǎi hǎo

2. 皇帝 - emperor - Huángdì

Idiom:

皇帝不急太监急 - Huángdì bù jí tàijiàn jí fig. The observers are more anxious than the person involved. lit. The emperor is not worried, but his eunuchs are.

3. 那会儿 - at that time - Nà huì er

那 - that (e.g. 看那 Will you look at that?) When you are thinking of something, in English you would say 'uhm' or 'uhhh', while in Chinese the equivalent term would be 那个 (nàgè). 这 zhè/ 那 nà + Measure Word + Noun

4. 总有 - always/ inevitably there will be - Zǒng yǒu

5. 骂 - to curse/ to shout abuses - mà 6. 掌柜 - shopkeeper - Zhǎngguì 7. 客人 - client/customer - Kèrén 8. 母亲 - mother - Mǔqīn 9. 最厉害 - great (-est, both positive and negative) - Zuì lìhài

It is somewhat similar in usage to the word 'great' in English, with the following meanings: Impressive or skilled: 他的功夫非常厉害。= He is very skilled in martial arts. 太厉害了，他是怎么做到的？ = Very impressive, how did he manage to achieve that? formidable: 厉害的角色 = A formidable figure (not one to be messed around with). 厉害的手段 = formidable tactics (in a sporting game, or as part of political intrigue) severe: 某某股跌得太厉害了 = Stock X has taken a severe fall (in value) 厉害 can also mean a few things when describing a person and relies heavily on the context. For example the sentence: 他是很厉害 Has numerous possibilities and it would be wrong to assume something without further explanation. Some examples: This person is very strict or harsh This person has a sharp personality This person is very skillful/capable The same with the use of 太厉害. This could have a positive or negative connotation. It could describe someone who is amazingly skillful or someone that is overly strict.

10. Multiple ways to say 'son of a bitch':

狗儿子 - (Dog's son) Gǒu érzi

狗崽子 - (son of dog) gǒu zǎizi

狗东西 - (dog thing) gǒu dōngxī

狗娘养的 - (lit. "raised by a dog mother") gǒu niáng yǎng de 

The fact that many insults are prefaced with the Mandarin Chinese word for dog attests to the animal's low status.

PRACTICING:

Some of my notes are mixed in with previous practices.

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Hi! If that's okay could i request Arven, Nemona and Penny with a reader that has a Scolipede? both the reader and their pokemon are known to be intimidating with a bad temper but once they trust someone they allow themselves to be vulnerable and are actually really soft and extremely protective towards them.

Romantic for Nemona and Arven but platonic for penny please!!

Oh yeah!!! I love this poison bug horse!!!!!!

.........

Arven

They say Pokémon mimic their trainer's personalities. You and your powerful Scolipede are living proof of that.

You're known for being a rather intimidating trainer who often lets their temper get the best of them.

It's especially noticeable during battle studies class. If your opponent lands a critical hit on your Pokémon, you'll curse them out for it, rolling your eyes when a teacher reprimands you for using "profane language".

Among the few receivers of your wrath was Arven, who felt awkward as he sent out his Scovillain and hits your Scolipede with Flamethrower...and he wonders why you looked at him as though he murdered your Pokémon in cold blood.

He will definitely be blunt with you right back. Whether you're in class or shopping in Mesagoza, he's not taking your shit.

Tensions definitely escalated one day, when you both arrived to set up a picnic.....in the exact same place. But while you both agreed to share a table, you didn't talk to him much and used your own ingredients for food.

Unfortunately, you absolutely sucked at making sandwiches, as your picky bug/poison companion wouldn't even take a bite out of what you created, turning its nose up in disdain.

"Look, I know it's not the same as the Treasure Eatery, but c'mon. I even got you the grilled fillet you wanted! If you wanna starve then that's-!!"

"If I can suggest something.." Arven intervenes. "While grilled fillet does go perfectly with those ingredients, I think the problem is that Scolipede doesn't like the presentation."

You just huff, knowing damn well you didn't ask for his two cents, but he offers suggestions on how you could rearrange the ingredients so they look more appetizing.

Begrudgingly, you take his advice so he'd leave you alone, thinking it's not gonna make any difference.

Imagine your shock when Scolipede practically inhales the same sandwich it refused to even look at moments ago. And Arven stands there, smug as ever.

From there on, you're a bit friendlier to him, eventually apologizing to all his Pokémon for your harsh words. Even Scolipede warms up to them a little.

It's at that point where he starts seeing you letting your walls down bit by bit, expressing a softer side when you pet his sleepy Mabosstiff, or politely ask his Garganacal for some extra salt. He realizes you're actually a cool person, and so you two grow closer as friends.

You listened to him when he got comfortable enough to talk about his parents, being kind and understanding. In turn, you share some stuff about your past, in which he listens and offers his support.

But you still have your temper flares, of course....they're just redirected towards anybody who's giving him a hard time, such as one nosy undercover news reporter wanting to ask him about his parents.

"Arven! What are your thoughts on the prehistoric/futuristic Donphan spotted in the desert?? Is it true that it originated from your parent's so-called time machi-???"

"If you don't leave him alone, you'll have a toxic spike in your side...maybe ten if my partner here decides you deserve that many." You spat as Scolipede towers over them, scaring them off immediately.

In that moment, Arven's speechless at your sudden overprotective nature. But deep down all he can think of is one thing:

He's madly in love with you rn.

Nemona

If anybody in Paldea got on your nerves the most when you first started attending the Academy....it's Nemona.

She saw your Scolipede once in the courtyard and practically begged for a battle right there and then, almost forgetting to ask your name.

But obviously one battle wasn't enough for her, as she'd keep pestering you for more every time you crossed paths.

It didn't help that the universe decided to pair you guys in class almost all the time, as she'd whisper endless questions to you. Like what moves you taught Scolipede, what level you caught it at, where you found it, how many Centiskorches it ate, etc., etc.

She's hardly perturbed by your temper and intimidating status, thinking you take battles way too seriously and just need help letting loose.

As the student council president, though, she does have to advise you to tone down your profanity...especially in front of the much younger students.

You act like she's irritating. But at some point, you do find battles genuinely fun with her. They don't feel like a chore.

She helps you experiment with new strategies, shows you how double-battles worked, explains terastilization, and more.

No matter what your Scolipede's tera type is, it's an absolute beast--and Nemona praises it for the way it shimmers and shines like its trainer does (which totally doesn't boost its ego).

During one picnic together, Nemona bravely gives your bug/poison buddy chin scritches. And when she hears you laugh upon seeing it flop to the floor, chittering happily, she becomes surprisingly bashful.

You're quick to notice her blush and playfully tease her, but she brushes it off as a sunburn.

She happy to see that you trusted her enough to be yourself. Of course, she likes your tough attitude and battle tactics, but this side to you was also sweet to see.

It definitely made her catch feelings for you. Maybe one day you both could be more than just close friends and rivals.

Penny

Out of the trio, Penny's most intimidated by your temper.

Especially when she accidentally bumps into you on the way to class, your Scolipede shooting her a mean look.

She'd tell you that large Pokémon weren't allowed to roam inside the school, but.....she'd rather live to see another day. And besides, she knew the reputations Scolipedes had back in Galar.

In a way your attitude reminds her of Eri and Mela, and it makes her wonder if you were ever bullied, considering the rumors currently going on around school regarding the new "rebellious" kid and their terrifying Scolipede.

Back then, "Cassiopeia" would've persuaded you to join Team Star, but those days are long gone, so she tries being nice to you whenever you do cross paths with each other. Like in the cafeteria or in class where you gotta partner up for assignments.

You're nice to her back, but quickly get annoyed by her quiet/shy nature, or when she suddenly runs off in the middle of a conversation in the halls. It just seemed rude.

One night, you see her Eeveelution team struggling against two disgruntled Team Star grunts, and you decided to step in to make it a fair double-battle.

Two minutes later, they're chased off....though not without insulting Penny and saying she "betrayed" them by disbanding the group.

She rolls her eyes at their remarks, but totally forgot you were still there until you spoke up, startling her as you ask if she's really Team Star's leader.

She tries running away again, though it doesn't work this time as Scolipede blocks her path. And that's when she lowkey panics, apologizing and begging you not to hurt her.

It's only now you realized that she was scared of you this whole time...and you feel bad. So you awkwardly help her calm down, reassuring her Scolipede's not gonna toss Sludge Bombs at her sweet little Sylveon or her.

To make up for it, you walk her back to her dorm room, with Scolipede acting like a guard dog.

She might've opened up a bit too much about why she formed Team Star while walking with you...but you're surprisingly chill about it.

"Don't worry. It's not like you were selling Pokémon illegally or trying to reshape the entire world....but if you were doing that, then we'd have a problem." You joke.

"N-Not funny." She huffs. "But anyways..can we just forget about my freakout back there?"

"Sure. I think Scolipede is ready to apologize to you, too."

"...eh?"

The bug/poison type just chitters and nuzzles her cheek in a rare display of affection, which flusters her.

But as she bids you both goodnight, it made her realize that...your Scolipede isn't that bad, and neither are you.

It was all just a misunderstanding.

[pulim-v]

Hey there! Good morning/day/night, whenever you see this!

For that fandom ask game, maybe Pokémon? And since I know there's WAY too many stuff involved in this franchise (manga, games, anime, perhaps more), you can pick something more specific, (like x the game, or black white manga, or sun moon anime, you get the gist) or you can answer from stuff from the whole franchise. Whatever you want. :)

Alright! I think I'll do it for the pokémon manga and then the pokémon anime :]

my favorite female character

Definitely White! White gets points from being in my favorite chapter and also having amazing dynamics and a relly cool arc (the scene with her and N on the Ferris Wheel was. insane. the first time I read it)

my favorite male character

BLACK!!!! Though Cheren is a close second. Just. He's such an ADHD gremlin I love him (deeply relatable and also his dynamic with the other main characters is sooo tasty I love him)

OH ALSO Yellow is the girliepop ever but I cannot concretely say what their gender is because I could easily see them being trans in some way lmao

my favorite book/season/etc

Black and White Chapter, though the Diamond and Pearl Chapter and the Yellow Chapter are also super cool

my favorite episode (if its a tv show)

My favorite chapter is definitely either the White/N Ferris Wheel scene, the BW ending, or one specific chapter of DP where Ms. Berlitz falls into a gym in the middle of the night and quickly finishes the puzzle AND beats the gym leader. Cartoon logic things going on in there it's so funny.

my favorite ship

AGENCYSHIPPING (Black x White) 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 shutouts to SpecialShipping (Red x Yellow), EntourageShipping (Diamond x Pearl x Ms. Berlitz) and FranticShipping (Ruby x Sapphire) too

a character I’d die defending

CHEREN 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 yes he did a lot of things wrong but like he was brainwashed also he's literally gay?

a character I just can’t sympathize with

He's just kinda eh to me but Emerald is really a nothing character (also Lack-Two)

a character I grew to love

I used to not really think much of Ruby and Sapphire iirc but they're lowkey one of the best written duos in Pokespe

my anti otp

I just. do not get Manga/Poke/Ship/ping (Red x Misty). Misty is barely a character in Adventures.

Now onto the anime, though I should note I only watched gen 1, most of gen 5, the entirety of gen 6 and the first half of gen 7:

my favorite female character

Iris the dragon master they will never make me hate you <3

my favorite male character

Cilan the Gym Leader they will never make me hate you <3

my favorite book/season/etc

I'm a BW girlie since it was what I watched it when I was a kid but I also loved XY, and Sun and Moon has some amazing writing

my favorite episode (if its a tv show)

I don't remember most of it tbh, I thuoght the Elesa Gym Fight was just hilarious

my favorite cast member

Don't know much about the cast tbh

my favorite ship

I really want to watch Journeys just to see how much stuff there is for FirstFriendShipping, it seems so cool lmao

a character I’d die defending

IRIS THE DRAGON MASTER THEY WILL NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU

a character I just can’t sympathize with

Unova had a ton of rivals that just did. nothing. Stephan and Burgundy especially really felt like they contributed nothing to the story lmao

a character I grew to love

I think when I was younger I used to get annoyed at Ash but he's just a little kid I love him he's awesome <3

my anti otp

Apparently a lot of people ship Ash and Iris (the name is Ne/gaiSh/ipping due to the japanese word for Wishes since Iris was first shown in Best Wishes) which is not the vibe I get from these two, they are besties, girlies even, but they would not date

[silver-crowned-riders]

WHAT'S UP, ROTOMBLR!

The name's Jace, a name you're gonna learn to respect!

Y'see, down here in the rough-and-tumble woods of Shinria, Team Riders rule the roads. The two of us just so happen to be the rulers among rulers, the second in command to the toughest boss in the world! Yeah, that's right!

We made this account cause, well, a lot of you prissy folks from Unova or Hoenn or whatever probably haven't heard the good word about Team Riders! HAH, don't worry your little heads, we don't have business in your regions really, but if the Riders' spirit is enticing to ya we could always use more folks to ride with!

Oh yeah, Beau's reminding me to include that I go by "he/him", and I'm 29!

If you enjoy REAL, HARD OPINIONS, I'm your man! If you like weird people trying to be scary and giving you lectures, that's why this blog is being run by the both of us! (just kidding Beau iloveya mwah)

I ride with a Shuppet, Ribombee, Mimikyu, and my Scrafty named Clementine!

Also, uh, I got a couple other little guys hanging around who I might post pics of every now and then. Not all of them battle, but trust me, Jace wouldn't waste time with a Pokémon if he wasn't sure it was the TOUGHEST AMONG TUFFIES!

- J

Beau's intro

// ooc under cut!

Hi, this is Julian (he/him/they), I wanted to give a try to Pokemon irl since it seemed like something I'd really enjoy! Plus I could use something relaxing and fun like this to occupy myself with this. I've never run an rp or ask blog before, but I have other experience with rp and really enjoy oc making.

These are ocs for my original Pokemon region Shinria, inspired by Ireland. I think this would be a good opportunity to do character and worldbuilding! Aside from that I'll be doing my best to work within Pokémon canon

Drawings will probably be infrequent but I can also see this blog helping me do that more regularly!

Ooc post or tags will be marked with a double slash.

Run by @swadloom. Artblog is @mj-makoshark.

Update: It seems like tumblr eats asks for me sometimes since I get notifs but nothing comes up, so don't be shy to send in something a second time if it doesn't get answered in a day or two.

[whichuniverseisthis]

I've decided to start a commentary of the Diamond and Pearl Pokémon Adventures arc, chapter-by-chapter, because I felt like it. I'll use the tag "dp commentary", so if you don't want to see this, since it'll be pretty long, just block the tag, I guess. Also warning, there will be spoiler from other arcs and for later events. Here we go.

First - Vs Starly

Next - Vs Bidoof

Last - Vs Dialga & Palkia VI

Chapter 1 / Chapter 338

I think this is one of the very few arcs where the main leading character (Diamond in this case) isn't the first one shown. SuMo is possibly the only other exception, where Moon is shown before Sun. Maybe XY too.

I'll forever love the fact that Dia and Pearl were never introduced as master trainers or as people with any kind of deep connection with Pokémon. They are two normal boys, they are comedians, they make funny stuff, they didn't even want to leave their hometown to begin with. They are a breath of fresh air from the first six angstier arcs.

Love how honest he looks, because he knows Pearl's dream is real and Dia wants to make it happen just as much, if anything to make is best friend happy.

Platinum is probably the only person ever that could make this outfit look elegant.

I think this is a good moment to say that Empoleon is and always will be my favorite Pokémon ever, so I am very biased towards it and its family.

The beginning of the disaster. Also, I like that they actually gave Platinum a recognizable father, since Lucas/Dawn do have parents in the game when they're the assistant. They even have a little sister.

Them. Honest to God, when I first read this arc back in middle school, I never expected to get attached to Uji and Paka so much. I didn't even expect them to have names, really. It's so funny that they're based on the words "idiot" and "dumb".

Ok but why did this translation change the date? I'm sure the original departure date was the 28th of September, which is why when they're separated they start to wear the winter outfits, because a month (25 days when they reached Canalave, plus the week before the bomb) went by, making the ending almost in November.

Will forever love that Dia and Pearl are the only Dexholders with differently colored Pokédexes, especially Pearl with his orange one. Even Crystal, White and Whitley share their pink ones. Dia and Pearl are just special.

God, the continuous beeping sound in the background. I'm already getting emotional, fuck with the foreshadowing.

I would say so much more, but I'll try to contain myself to 10 panels per chapter. Just know that I love DP and it's characters wholeheartedly, and this is just the beginning.

[jumping-joey1104]

Could I do a match up?

I really like drawing and I do it digitally. I’m a isfj. I really like Pokémon, deltarune and lucky star and I have a problem info dumping about it. I have autism and I hate it when ppl touch me without asking unless I’m comfortable with them.

Idk how to explain my style but it’s grunge-like! I’m also 5’5. I hate it when ppl play music in public without headphones and I don’t like it when ppl take my things without asking!

I’m mostly positive and I try my best to kind with others but I sometimes could act like a dick without realizing it. Other then that i don’t give two shits what’s happening. My love language is words of affirmation and gift giving! I love playing video games, I love my cats and my plushies!

Sorry if this a lot

Anon this is perfect you amazing person! Thanks for sending in a request!!

So, I see that you didn't specify what Fandom you wanted. Don't worry you helped me make my first rule!

And after consulting with the team (aka multiple wikis and fellow creepypasta Tumblrs) I have chosen your match-up!

BEN DROWNED

At first, meeting you was confusing. This dude barely understands voice tones and social cues... just barely

So your positive attitude and sometimes sarcastic behavior threw him for a loop

But him watching you play video games and seeing how you treat your pets helped him figure you out

Speaking of pets he absolutely adores your cats, even if they might not like him he still treat them like little goblins

Does not care what names they have, he'll give them names like "stinker" and "devil baby"

He'll be playing video games with you and just go "Baby man, little tiny baby man"

Ben also hates it when people touch him without asking, so he'll come off as cold sometimes but don't worry!

He absolutely loves recieving gifts and worries about not being able to give something back

So the way he'd show his affection is really just making sure you're ok and spoiling you with attention more than affection

I need to write my headcanons on the Creeps, but to me BEN is the gentle stoner dude that is constantly attatched to an electronic

So nine times out of ten you two would be playing video games, watching movies, or just doing something within reach of eachother

Romantically With him though?

He is constantly by your side, he's not clingy in the sense of always trying to hold onto you. But definitely wants to be in your presence all the time

Since the start of dating him he has like... 5 headphone jacks that branch off so you two can listen to videos together.

If you use pens to draw, he'll make sure you never run out of nibs... ever...

You don't know where he gets them but he'll gift you a ton of fan stuff from Pokémon and all your favorite games and TV shows

Never smokes around you, probably scared that you'll be grossed out by him so he tries to hide it

When you finally feel comfortable with him touching you he is ecstatic but still lets you make the first move.

This boy is scared to scare you, ok? He apologizes to the table leg when he stubs his foot.

But overall, dating him is like one long sleep over filled with gaming, unhealthy snacks, and him asking you to draw stuff for him all the time.

Any drawings you make for him he saves and makes it his home screen on all his electronics (Even on his 3D DS... no clue how..."

Definitely gets a bit jealous if you talk to other people, but never shows it. You'll be able to tell by the surplus of new stuff you get for your drawings and new headphones

1724

When you’re visiting a site, do you still type ‘www.’? I don't and don't think I have in the last, like...13, 14 years.

Can you still read the time if an analogue clock doesn’t have numbers on it? Like if it's just those short lines? Sure. It'd take me a few seconds though hah.

To whom will/did you first talk about the first time you’ve had sex?  I don't think I ever shared that particular experience with anyone. My friends and I just eventually started talking about sex and our sexual experiences gradually, like as we got older and as it became a quiet understanding that we were all doing it.

Have you ever fallen asleep while taking an exam?  No. If I finish early, I was the type to keep going over my answers again and again to make sure I was satisfied with them. Sometimes I'd play with my pen or daydream or whatever, but I'd never sleep.

Tell me something ridiculous about the place or country you live in:  Nobody makes enough fucking money here and that's why nobody ever moves out of their homes and that's why nobody is happy. Also, we regularly make fun of the police because they don't know how to do their jobs and think shooting solves everything. Oh and the fact that we are an extremely religious country, automatically making our culture and society a suffocatingly conservative one.

Sorry, I know you implied to name just one ridiculous thing but when I tell you the Philippines is just in itself a horrific meme of a country...

Did you know that ` is not an apostrophe? Are you guilty of using it?  I know it's not an apostrophe but I've never learned what it's called either. No, I have never used that as an apostrophe.

Have you ever gave the rejection hotline number to anyone?  No...that exists?

What is something you didn’t like about being thirteen?  Struggling to adjust to high school.

What can you hear right now?  SE SO NEON.

Do you think it’s okay for kids to have cellphones?  Sure. I feel like I'm in no place to speak about this as I got my first cellphone when I was 7 haha.

Do you watch anime? If so, what are some of your favorites?  I don't. I tried getting into Attack on Titan super recently but life got busy at the same time I started it so I never really was able to get invested. What I've enjoyed before, though, are Pokémon and Your Name.

A quote/funny line from the last movie you saw?  Not funny, but "Private An Jun Ho!" from DP, a Korean drama I started over the weekend. Apparently in the military you need to state your name every time you're called by a senior, so that line is said 75934398420343204 times in the series.

Don’t you hate yes/no surveys? Or do you prefer the ones that make you think and explain your thoughts?  I used to dislike them, but once I figured I can just say Yes/No but then also elaborate, they didn't seem so bad and boring anymore.

Do you have a favorite curse word? If so, what is it and why?  Fuck. It's just applicable in so many situations and is also so flexible as a curse word hahaha.

How well would you say you do in school? Do you actually exert effort or are you naturally good at your subjects? I was a carefree student in that I would put a lot of effort in subjects I liked; do enough just to get by in subjects I don't necessarily care for but don't expect to ever fail in; and entirely not give a shit about subjects I hate, even if it means failing tests. In the end, that behavior made me an average student who faked my way to the finish line through my writing, being the one thing I'm good at.

Or do you not care at all? Why?  I only started taking school seriously in junior and senior year of high school (because my dream university considered your grades in those levels as part of your overall entrance exam score); and in college (because this is when your performance actually starts to matter as far as landing jobs, and because I wanted to graduate with Latin honors).

Do you have any siblings? If so which one of them do you get along with the best?  I have two siblings and get along very well with my sister.

What’s your favorite TV show? And who’s your favorite character from it?  Breaking Bad will always own my heart. Fave character goes to Gus Fring.

Is there someone that you look up to? If so, who and why?  I used to not believe in role models until I encountered Namjoon – RM, the leader of BTS. Now that's an example of a guy who's turned piles of chicken shit that was pelted violently towards him into perfect, pristine, delicious chicken salad. I feel like he is ARMY's unofficial therapist too lmao; he's always spewing out creative metaphors in describing life and its realities while still steering such realities to something hopeful and positive. He's a born writer, a born artist, and a born leader.

Do you take surveys on other sites besides Bzoink?  I used to get my surveys from Bzoink but have never made an account on there; I've only ever openly done this here on Tumblr.

When did/will summer start for you? The warm season started in April and ended around July.

Do you have a poor eyesight? If so, what is the power of your eyes?  I have horrible eyesight. I think we do the levels differently in the Philippines but in any case, the last time I had new glasses done my left eye was around 160 and my right eye at 400+.

…do you use glasses or contacts for it?  Glasses. You could never get me to wear contact lens.

Have you violated any of the 10 Commandments? If so, what?  I'm sure I have. A bunch.

What would you consider to be your most valued possession? Why?  My ticket to Yoongi's concert, because it was the happiest day of my life.

Are you ever satisfied? Or are you one of those people who always want more? I'm a perfectionist who's trying to slow down and be satisfied with whatever it is I accomplish. Done is better than perfect.

What were you like as a kid?  Too shy you could barely feel my presence anywhere.

> Log entry #1 - Date: 6-12-2X15 - Location: Dave's House

 A few months after the festival, in the middle of Fort Geraldson...

There was a big blue house, with gates all around the sides and the backyard. Out of the many residents, 3 were the most notable: Dave, a twenty-six-year-old ex-algebra teacher, who is in a wheelchair because he lost his legs below the knees in an accident.

Dave’s adopted son, Tristan, a newly turned ten-year-old with weirdly shaped eyes and hair that is the word "hair" spelled out on top of his head.

Last but not least Bambi, a short-tempered, stubborn, stupid, but genuine and honest farmer, he has a Brazilian accent as he speaks Portuguese but he speaks in broken English around Dave, Tristan, and their friends, he has two floating hands with no arms, he sits at two feet tall, and is thirty-six years old

They were celebrating a special day, for the special boy known as Tristan. His birthday had been recent, and the way he chose to celebrate was with some of his friends, namely Spike, Playrobot, and Ruby Man. They were all outside having fun while playing tag, the sounds of their laughter (and Spike's playful insults) could be heard from inside the house, filling Dave's heart with warmth, it's been a few months since his last… incident, specifically, the one that happened at Tristan's 9th birthday.

1 year ago…

Dave wheeled to the open front door to shout, "Kids! Come on in, it's almost time!" The group stopped playing and immediately raced to the door.

Before they entered, Samuel, Dave's green alien friend stood in the way, holding a finger up, "No running, you kids could fall and get very hurt, we don't want that to happen to the birthday boy or any of his friends, okay?" He told them monotonously.

The group of kids, which consisted of Tristan, Spike, Diamond Man, and Playrobot sighed, but they all nodded with an "Okaaaay…" 

Sam nodded with a smile, stepping aside to let them enter. They were chatting at the table, speculating about what type of presents Tristan would get. Dave was in another room, so the details of their conversation were fuzzy, but he could remember that they were hyper.

After a few minutes, Dave got ready, came out, and wheeled towards the table while holding the cake out, its lit candles were shaped like the number 9, the kids quieted themselves as Dave took in a breath and began singing

.

.

.

"Happy Birthday-" He didn't notice it because he had his eyes closed, but Dave had been teleported somewhere, in the middle of his singing, so when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was in an entirely different, yet horrifyingly familiar place, "To… you?" 

He looked around, his vision was filled with 3D geometrical shapes floating aimlessly, that nightmarish grayish-red sky. He was in the dreaded 3D realm, a place he wanted to forget. He shakily looked up at the sky, and saw a symbol in the shape of a lizard-like eye…

--

His flashbacks were cut off when someone spoke to him with a familiar Brazilian accent "Yo Dave, are you alright?" The person asked.

Dave jolted in his wheelchair, looking beside him, it was just Bambi, "Oh my god, you scared the digits out of me, Bambi," Dave said, sighing with relief that it was Bambi.

"Ah. Sorry Dave, but you were staring at wall, and you look sad," Bambi told him in his broken English.

Dave chuckled, putting on a half-genuine smile, Bambi's too gullible to tell the difference between a real one and a fake one anyway.

"Yeah, I'm just tired, been working real hard on Tristan's presents, and hiding them. He always tries to sneak his presents before Christmas, or his birthday." Dave crossed his arms.

Last year, he had gotten 10 presents for Tristan's 9th birthday, but the rascal stole them all the day before. Thankfully, Tristan didn't open any of the presents, and despite the stress it caused, it was fun, teaching him that he reeeeaallly needs to work on tuning his wheelchair. 

"But other than being nervous that Tristan won't like these gifts, I'm fine. How are things holding up for you?" Dave asked, “Are you going to bring anything?”

Bambi nodded rapidly, "Yeah! I bringing my quiche!" he announced. Dave almost gasped, but he did a "pog" face instead, due to Bambi's quiche being famous, at least in this friend group.

Bambi's. Quiche. Is. THE best thing in the world, Dave swears it is.

He was unsure if that was okay to bring to a birthday party though, Dave asked this out loud, to which Bambi simply answered; "Well, 1. People like my quiche, even though I don't like it much, and 2. Your stomach is bad at sweets, I remember you tell me that." Ah, he did, Dave blushed a little, it was a little embarrassing that Bambi just– said it with no hesitation, but he was right.

"Awww, thanks Bambi, you didn't have to, I appreciate it," Dave said with an actual genuine smile.

Bambi smiled back, his hands on his hips, "No problem, Dave. Well, I going to go back to waiting for quiche be done, I bet you have many birthday thing to do, bye Dave!" He waved, and Dave waved back before Bambi turned and left.

Dave smiled for a bit longer before it slipped to a slight frown, he hoped that the incident wouldn’t happen again, and if it does, he hoped it won’t be in front of Tristan. He doesn't know if he’d drag Tristan to the 3D realm with him again. God, that… that thing in his dreams turned out to be real. He still remembers what it looked like, it was some corrupted reflection of him, only its skin was black, its 'clothes' were inverted to be red instead of his blue, and instead of regular eyes, all it had was 1 (one) lizard-like eye. He doesn't know why, but seeing it in person for the first time sent the worst chills down his spine.

Dave shook his head, he didn't need to linger on it, he needed to keep those memories locked away for the safety of his child, and hopefully keep him away from that horrible prophecy.

He sighed, leaning back in his wheelchair, 'Man, who knew that the consequences for trying to get rid of this world-destroying curse would be this bad.' He thought bitterly, a laugh escaping his lips for a second before he stopped, sagging down further, "That… wasn't funny." He laughed again, he couldn't help it, his situation would make anyone else insane, the only reason he has a drop of sanity left is his son…

'That's right, I shouldn't be so down right now, I have my son’s birthday to take care of.' 

Dave was reinvigorated with the determination to keep his child safe and happy. After all, making sure Tristan knew he was loved is what this special present is for.

–

The sun had almost set, and the kids were playing Mario Kart inside, Dave was watching over them from the kitchen, and Diamond Man was watching behind the couch. The last lap ended with Tristan in 1st place, despite Playrobot being the best (Tristan 2nd best). Spike stood up and pointed at Playrobot, "You let Tristan win, didn't you?" His accusation didn’t have any actual bite.

"Tristan won through skill and luck," She denied with a smile. 

Spike crossed his arms with a pout, "Don't give me that shi-" He suddenly felt dread crawl up his spine, feeling the gaze of a father deep in his soul making him freeze, "Uh- uh lie, I mean lie." He corrected with sweat dripping down his forehead. He caught himself before he swore, and felt the pressure go away immediately, man, adults are scary.

"Why are you complaining about letting people win when you were dead last?" Tristan interjected, a neutral expression on his face.

Spike let out a 'ghk' sound, a hint of red fading in his cheeks, "That's beside the point, nerd, the bot let you win 'cause you're the birthday boy!" Spike exclaimed. 

"Or because you suck," D-Man's loud voice cut in with a smirk.

"That's it-" Spike stood up, giving chase with a furious expression, "I'll *show you* who sucks!" Spike yelled.

Diamond Man ran away from Spike effortlessly, being tall and lanky has its advantages, such as being able to run really fast, "C'mon dude, you've never ever caught me in tag, how are you gonna get me-"

"Kids!" Dave's call made them stop, "It's tiiime!~"

"CAAAAAKE!!!!" And they all rushed in.

"Whoever's last is the rotten egg!" said Spike. Dave shook his head with a smile, kids, am I right?

–

(Playrobot is last, she was forced to wear the rotten egg hat :pensive:)

Dave prepared himself before entering the kitchen from the closet with the cake in hand, the wick on the number 10-shaped candle lit. Putting on his best smile, the kids waited in silence, man he's so nervous- good nervous, but nervous. He's been taking care of Tristan nearly since he was born, and to still have him with him for birthdays is enough to almost break him down into tears. He took a shaky breath, setting the cake down to wipe the tears welling up. Once he was ready, he picked the cake back up and turned the lights off.

"Happy birthday to you~" Dave softly sang as he entered the room, revealing the cake for everyone to see. It was a pretty big cake, decorated with soft gold-colored frosting, swirls of red frosting framed the edges, a giant gold heart sitting just left of the center, a candle shaped like the number 1 lay flat beside it, and red icing written out to say 'Happy Birthday Tristan'.

(DRAWN BY @mintyfreshartist)

It was safe to say that this cake was decorated with the utmost care in the entire world. "Happy birthday to you!~" Dave repeated, wheeling closer to the table at a slow pace, he could practically feel his heart swell 18459308495034 times bigger than before!!!

"Happy birthday dear my sooooonnn~" He placed the cake on the table as he ended the note.

"Happy birthday to yooooouuuu~" Dave repeated one final time, a big, stupid smile on his face. Tristan stared in awe at the cake, his heart speeding up as he could just- just- feel the love poured into this birthday specifically. 

Tristan felt himself being nudged, he looked to his side, and looked up to Spike smiling softly, "Come on nerd, make your wish already." He whispered. Tristan nodded and looked back to the cake, closing his eyes, thinking up his wish…

'Thank you, to whoever heard my wish last year, dad's been so much happier than the last few birthdays, he also seems less tired, and although he’s busy building something, he doesn't appear to overwork himself anymore… also don't tell anyone I said that.' Tristan opened his eyes, taking in a deep breath. 'This year though, whatever he was building, he wouldn’t let me see, he always said it was a surprise for later, but it would be soon. Anyways, I'm grateful for having such an awesome dad, awesome friends, and an awesome life, there's nothing better I could wish for.' Tristan blew out all the candles, signaling he was done with his wish of sorts.

Dave plucked all the candles from the cake, setting them aside, and he cut Tristan a slice of cake, while Bambi arrived a little late. It was evident that his quiche was fresh from the oven, as it was still steaming hot. Tristan thanked Bambi for making it, and that he was glad Bambi was here with more food. Cake and quiche for a birthday, at least it was a good quiche, Bambi appreciated all of the praise he got from it. 

Dave ate half a plate of the quiche, god knows how his stomach would react if he took only two tiny bites of cake, so he didn't serve himself any. He left the kitchen to get Tristan's presents. There were 4 this time around instead of 10, but what he got was:

A Giratina plush

Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Pokémon Scarlet

And a drone (He loves drones)

All the things a young boy could wish for.

Tristan was super happy about the gifts he got, hugging his dad so hard he almost popped, all that sappy stuff.

After their inspiration, they were dubbed “Bambi minions.” She had a wicked grin on his face 24/7, spreading wide enough to go from one hypothetical ear to the next, skin as black as the night sky, and what appeared to be her clothes, were blood red, consisting of cones and cylinders. To top it all off, she had an unusual eye, a lizard-like eye. Though he was always plotting his next move, he felt… Different today, like something major was happening, and before she knew it, she whispered out [HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GOLDEN NUSIANCE]

–

> Location: Dave's house - Time: 9:51 PM

It was time for everyone visiting Dave's House to leave, they were tired from playing all day, and cleaning up their mess, they wanted to go back home to sleep, and as they all left Dave called Tristan to the living room, figuring it was to tell Tristan to get ready to go to bed and stuff, he went there.

"Son, you know that project I've been working on and didn't let you see what I was working on?" Dave asked with his hands behind his back. 

Tristan raised an eyebrow, tilting his head a little, "Yeah, why?" Why was Dave bringing this up now? 

"Well… I've finished it, and I was planning on saving it for your 10th birthday!" Dave said, feeling warm inside when Tristan gasped excitedly, his face lighting up with a big smile. 

"REALLY!?" He almost squeaked in disbelief. 

Dave nodded, showing Tristan his hands. It was a square pyramid the size of an orange in one hand, a big remote in the other, "I call this one the ‘Inter-Universal Dislocator’, or IUD, I may change it to something else in the future, but using a few my special powers, we can go to any world we want!" Dave explained, Tristan lit up at the mention of "Any world we want.” Dave went on to continue "Exce-"

"CAN WE GO TO THE POKÉMON UNIVERSE!?!?!?" Tristan nearly screeched the boy was damn near vibrating with energy from excitement.

Dave chuckled at his son's energy, but… as much as Dave liked Pokémon (He and Tristan went Pokémon Go-ing together sometimes), he was, unfortunately going to have to tell Tristan that it was just fiction, and a world like that doesn't exist… If he had the heart to. 

Dave instead decided to indulge Tristan just this once, "Hmm… Okay! We can try it out!" Dave placed the Pyramid away from any objects, and his remote turned into a keyboard. "Alright Tristan, stay back!" Dave warned, and Tristan listened. Dave began to type.

"I'M GONNA GO GET SOME STUFF IN A BAG BE RIGHT BACK," Tristan ran off to his room to do what he said.

Dave chuckled, wishing he could be as excited as Tristan. He began typing...

> awaiting command

>open portal from ███,███ to ███,███

Dave was expecting it to fail when he hit enter…

>command processing

Awaiting power to begin creating the portal

What?

Did- was- was this real? Dave gripped the two handles and began using his powers with slow control.

>Absorbing power…

10%

'No way this was actually working,' Dave denied, but he pressed on, watching the percent increase…

20%

50%

90%

100%

>Power requirement completed, creating portal.

Dave stopped immediately, 5 minutes of pure concentration was exhausting, he needed to take a breather. It was shortly after that when space distorted the area in front of them contorting it into a spiral, time around them gripped the swirl of space, and ripped it into a hole, opening a blue portal above the pyramid, everything behind it seemed like there wasn't a scratch thankfully but… 'Holy polynomial, it worked? It WORKED!? Is- Is Pokémon a real universe? What? I-'

Dave's existential crisis was cut off by Tristan, "WOAH, DAD THIS IS SUCH A COOL PRESENT!!" He tackled Dave into a hug, almost knocking him off his wheelchair, "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD, YOU'RE THE COOLEST!!!"

"Tristan, wait!" Ah- tangent, the words left his mouth too late, Tristan ran off, bag in hand.

No matter, it was time to see if this is real or not. Dave wheeled up to the portal, using the springs he built in his wheelchair to let him jump into the portal.

–

> Location: The Pokemon World - Region: Sinnoh, Route unknown

A portal opened up in the middle of the forest, and out stepped two humans, Tristan, and Dave. Dave immediately placed a 2nd pyramid below the manifested portal to ensure stabilization. As he took in his surroundings, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Dave saw Pokémon, real Pokémon in-person.

–

> Location: Dave's house

Bambi was still hanging around Dave's house, he passed out in Tristan's room and only woke up due to a loud noise somewhere else. He was all pissy that his nap was interrupted, rubbing his eyes, and grumbling in Portuguese. He found it strange that no one was around, not even the owner or his son. So Bambi wandered the house, calling for anybody until he stumbled into the living room, eyes finding the still-active portal.

"What… The fuck?" Bambi murmured to himself, approaching the portal, "Did Dave make this?" He said before he stepped too close and got sucked into the portal. 

He was midway into transportation when he saw something on the other side, Dave and Tristan! He was almost there before Dave shut the portal behind them, trapping Bambi in the middle of transport.

A sudden, unexplained terror struck through Bambi's heart, his hands glowed white, rainbow flames coating his hand, instinctively making a slicing motion in the air, a long, thin shockwave flew from the motion a short distance before it dissipated, a portal tore itself into existence right before him, perfect for him to fall through.

Where he'd end up would be completely different from where Dave and Tristan were…
