I used the old prototype I had of Lapis when I started creating her for her Season 0 version.

I imagine his relationship with Seto would be similar to Kira-Misa's in Death Note. Lapis would know that he is using her, but she doesn't care. The obsession she has with Seto is evident in her green eyes.

I like to imagine their theme song being Mount Rageous, but also with Sweet Dreams from Trolls 3.

[discords-morgan]

Based off of THIS Twitter post

But it is eating up my brain space so I need it out NOW so I can focus on dragon shipping,,,,,

AU where Kozuburo doesn't stick to their deal and leaves Seto and Mokuba behind at the orphanage after losing,,, Seto is fucking FUMING (his master plan ruined by some old guy's ego and pride) so Seto and Mokuba just end up staying and working their asses off trying to support each other (Mokuba does his best to help, if he's a little light fingered then who's to say)

Seto still goes to Domino (maybe Mokuba got a little *too* light fingered, Seto got a little *too* grouchy, or they're scraping by enough to go out on their own and pick somewhere to go) and because nothing in the *universe* could stop Seto from being obsessed with Duel Monsters, he still intends on finding his Blue Eyes cards (of which he has a grand total of zero) and tinkers away at some haphazard version of the hologram tables – always at least a little annoyed by what they could've been if they had Kaiba Corp's kind of funding

For lark and sel at the Merlin academy

Oooh! I'll do my best! I really hope you enjoy it! Thanks for requesting!

Scenario: A longtime rivalry between the two young boys at the Merlin Academy comes to an end with Selwyn Kane being named Nicholas Davis' Kingsmage.

Merlin Academy- Lark and Sel

Lark irritated Sel. Plain and simple. 

To be fair, most people irritated Sel, but Lark just really knew how to push his buttons. 

Maybe the animosity stemmed from the fact that they’ve been pinned against each other since the day Sel arrived at the academy.

~~~

Selwyn Kane was a prodigy. The best of his generation. Just like his mother, Natasia.

None of the other Merlins could even dream of matching his skill level…except Lark.

Larkin Douglas was the only Merlin who could hold his own against Selwyn. But even though this fact remained true, Sel still managed to beat him in every battle. 

No matter the challenge, Sel won. Not to be unexpected considering he was trained by one of the most powerful Merlins of the previous generation, Issac Sorensen.

Which is why today’s duel for a place at the side of the Order’s future king would be no different. Sel would be Nick Davis’ Kingsmage. 

~~~

“In this closing battle, Selwyn Kane and Larkin Douglas will compete to be named Kingsmage.” Gillian announces, while walking to the middle of the arena, where Lark stands in the right corner with Selwyn opposite him in the left corner.

Gillian continues, “Throughout this tournament, our two candidates have been observed based on their capabilities in mesmerization, casting, and aether manipulation.”

“Today, the top two ranked Merlins will duel it out in this arena to assess strength." Gillian looks intensely at the crowd before shifting her gaze to the table of the Regents, "Their individual performances in the other three categories alongside this one will be considered to determine the final result."

At that, Gillian looks to both Sel and Lark purposefully, "Without further ado, let the battle begin."

~~~

The fight was most definitely entertaining to watch. Mostly because of Sel.

Lark barely managed to land a hit on him throughout the entire battle. Each time he would lunge, Selwyn had already moved out of reach. He was agile and limber, something Lark had learned but not yet mastered.

Sel utilized aether with precision and intent. If he wanted to land a hit, then he did, with zero difficulty at that. Lark's defenses were useless against Selwyn.

Lark spent more time on the ground from Sel's attacks than he did actually fighting.

Lark was an excellent fighter. In training, he defeated nearly all of his opponents...that weren't Sel.

And one thing was evident in the fight- Selwyn had a mission that he intended to fulfill.

No one, not even Larkin Douglas, would stop him from satisfying what he set out to do.

~~~

It wasn't unsurprising when Sel won the tournament.

Not only did he excel in the other categories, but he completely annihilated Larkin in the final battle.

After quieting down the anxiously awaiting crowd, Martin Davis speaks, "After careful consideration, a decision has been made." He stops to hold up Selwyn's hand, "Selwyn Emrys Kane has been selected to be the Kingsmage of my son, Nicholas Martin Davis, Scion of King Arthur Pendragon, first-ranked. He will be oathed immediately following the end of this ceremony.”

Sel did it. The very role he worked himself strenuously to achieve was his. He felt...

"Ye complete and utter disappointment, Larkin! All this training and for what? Ye to end up in second place? Because of a Kane at that?" Calum Douglas shouts, clearly angered by his son's loss. He stomps over to Lark and practically drags him off stage.

Before he disappears completely from sight, Lark spares a glance at Selwyn, who was already staring intently at him.

For the first time since the two met, Sel felt empathy towards Lark.

The two were no longer rivals. One had won and the other had loss, but even still, they both were the two greatest Merlins of their respective generation.

Only Larkin's father didn't see it that way.

[crescentpaws]

now on the more chaotic side….

- fintan figured out how to make a clone of himself.

- they fought a magic duel and he LOST

- was getting annoyed at the clone tbh so i made fintan set him on fire repeatedly but that guy would Not die

(ft vespera just watching…..)

- umm i read that you have to order the clone to do something in order for it to despawn or whatever but by that point the clone was evil apparently so fintan wasn’t able to give it orders anymore???

so now he’s just listed as fintan’s brother?? help???? his name is Nelson. i will find a way to kill him one day i promise you that. fucking nelson pyren. fucker.

this is a cool picture tho. with the fire & the phoenix & everything.

- next are all my horrible attempts at trying to make fintante happen:

- my first plan of course was to use the infatuate spell. unfortunately i chose gisela for this mission and she is not very high leveled when it comes to magic so the spell backfired. and fintan ended up kissing her instead 💀 obviously i started freaking out and started spamming negative interactions to get the romance bar back down which led to them getting in a fist fight (which fintan won) but even though the bar is red now she’s still listed in the romance category for him 💀 going to just. ignore that.

- my second plan was to take what just happened and apply it to fintan instead (make HIM use the spell and then hope it backfires) but unfortunately he is a master rank spellcaster so his spells rarely fail… i got him up to a dangerously high level of spellcaster charge before trying the spell in hopes that it would fail but he’s too good….

- i ended up applying some curses to him as well to increase the chances of the spell backfiring but it only ended up making things worse for him 💀 accidentally gave him another curse which made this creepy asshole follow him around all night and prevented him from sleeping

- in another attempt he just straight up fucking died.

first grim reaper appearance haha… (his familiar actually ended up reviving him though… but it didn’t matter because i was just resetting from the same save point anyway.)

- at some point throughout all this fintan gained the fear of… swimming?? which is very random considering he has a pool in his yard that he’s swam in multiple times before… but ok

- the spell actually DID end up backfiring correctly but even when they kissed the romance bar never showed up 💀 which pissed me off because it showed up with gisela… homophobic ass spell

- ended up giving up on the spells and tried giving romantic gifts… which SEEMED to go well but it did not actually improve their relationship at all…

only game where your characters can be sworn enemies and still say shit like this about each other (the romance bar did not go up even a BIT. so this is really funny.)

- tried the potion of forced friendship next because i was curious to see what it would do… i thought it’d just make the interactions go smoother but apparently it puts the friendship bar up to max 💀 so. that part was solved i guess?? they’re no longer enemies at least…

- but of course them being them they somehow managed to get the bar back down to zero 💀 they basically had to start their relationship over from scratch…

- finally got them to kiss though (for real) so idgaf

- fintan loooves to randomly insult him though. so. idk how long this will last. the sentiments are already very conflicting

(funniest photo)

[pansexualkiba]

"I'm placing all my hopes on you, GEM-KNIGHT MASTER DIAMOND!" Midoriya chanted, using Polymerization to fuse together Gem-Knight Garnet, Gem-Knight Obsidian and Gem-Knight Tourmaline.

Midoriya's signature Fusion monster reared, and hefted its enormous sword encrusted with the gems of its fallen allies across its shoulder.

Todoroki's mouth gaped a bit, before he smirked.

"Finally..." Todoroki breathed. "In reaction to your Fusion summon," Todoroki announced, "I activate my Trap Card."

"No way!" Uraraka gasped. "The Trap Card he's been holding onto since the start of the match?"

"Cold Fusion." Todoroki revealed, showing an image of Polymerization, frozen in a block of ice and snapped in two. "I can negate one Fusion Summon to destroy that monster."

A creeping carpet of frost came over Gem-Knight Master Diamond, before the monster shattered into pieces.

"In addition," Todoroki continued, "I call back the monsters you used as Fusion Material to the field, in attack position." In a flash, the Gem-Knights were back on the field. However... "And when I do, I place one Ice Counter on each of them."

Midoriya gritted his teeth as his monsters were frozen over.

"That's a nasty Trap!" Uraraka gasped, gripping the railing in worry.

"But it makes sense why as to he wouldn't have played it until now." Iida nodded. "If it only targets Fusion Monsters, he wouldn't have had a chance to use it before now. Tokoyami's Yata-Garasu lock is easy to clear if you don't give him the opportunity, Bakugou's Volcanic Deck doesn't utilize the Extra Deck at all, and Yaoyorozu used Ritual monsters. Midoriya is the only duelist in the tournament who has a Fusion monster, it seems."

"So this was a targeted attack?!" Uraraka shouted.

"I suspect that Todoroki is trying to summon Snowdust Dragon on his next turn." Iida continued. "Additionally, Absolute Zero Barrier makes it so that, if Midoriya is unable to make something work with that final card in his hand..."

"Uh..." Midoriya stared at his last card in worry.

"...He'll be left open to attack and decimated, huh?" Uraraka noted sadly.

"Wait!" Midoriya shouted, drawing attention to himself. "I-I still have to activate a monster's effect!"

Everyone started at that.

"I use Gem-Knight Obsidian's effect!" Midoriya called out. "Even if he was called back, I still sent him to the Graveyard from my hand, so that means I summon a Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from my Graveyard! And I choose Gem-Knight Amber!"

As the monster arose in attack mode, Todoroki growled. "Gem-Knight Amber is an Effect Monster!" He shouted back. "Don't just decide to do whatever you like!"

"Amber's a Gemini Monster!" Midoriya countered. "He's considered Normal while he's in the Graveyard!"

"That's it!" Uraraka realized. "That last card in Deku's hand must be a Gem-Knight!"

"And Midoriya hasn't used his Normal Summon yet, since he used Polymerization as soon as he drew it." Iida nodded.

"So Deku's gonna Gemini Summon Amber and then return a monster to his hand!" Uraraka grinned.

"And now..." Midoriya sighed, before he spread his hands. "I'm building the Overlay Network!"

"The Overlay Network?!" Uraraka and Iida shouted in unison.

Bakugou tched. "An XYZ Summon..." He hissed.

"I overlay Gem-Knight Obsidian and Gem-Knight Garnet to XYZ Summon..." Red energy coalesced off Midoriya as the two monsters dissolved into red energy themselves. "Gem-Knight Pearl!"

The two columns of energy were dragged into a whirling portal above the duel, which then shone with an ethereal green light before a figure in pure white armor shot down, feet first. He slammed into the ground, causing a small eruption of pearls around him, though he only glared at the Cold Enchanter on the left with his piercing blue eyes.

ATK 2600 DEF 1900

"And since it's an XYZ Summon, the Ice Counters on Deku's monsters are gone!" Uraraka realized.

"I'm not done!" Midoriya announced. "I'm also overlaying Gem-Knight Amber and Gem-Knight Tourmaline, to XYZ Summon ANOTHER Gem-Knight Pearl!"

"ANOTHER ONE?!" Yamada announced in shock as Gem-Knight Pearl number two crashed down to glare at the Cold Enchanter on the right.

"Now Todoroki has no Ice Tokens at all, true..." Iida frowned while the crowd went wild around them. The Overlay System, meanwhile, exploded into harmless sparks. "But even taking into account the fact that all the monsters are in Attack Mode, that's only a deficit of 1400 Life Points..."

"And Todoroki's at 7200 still..." Uraraka realized. "Oh man... Is it still not enough...?"

"That card in his hand must do something crazy..." Kaminari muttered. "Not to mention that face-down still on the field..."

Uraraka and Iida turned to Kaminari.

"...I forgot Deku had a face-down card." Uraraka admitted.

"And now, I Normal Summon a monster!" Midoriya announced. "Gem-Knight Alexandrite!" A white-colored Gem-Knight in bulky armor and multicolored gems arose to stand with its arms akimbo.

ATK 1800 DEF 1200

"A beatstick's nice, but what if Todoroki's next play is Snow Dragon...?" Uraraka muttered. "Deku needs to end this duel in one hit, essentially..."

"And now, I activate Gem-Knight Alexandrite's effect!" Midoriya declared. "I tribute him to summon a Normal Monster from my deck... And I choose Gem-Knight Crystal!"

At once, Gem-Knight Alexandrite was dissolved into light, and was replaced by a knight in grey armor and long blond hair. They had a gleaming diamond on their chest, and crystal spikes jutting out of their shoulders. They struck a heroic pose.

ATK 2450 DEF 1950

"THAT'S AN INSANE MONSTER!" Kaminari screamed. "PLAY THAT EARLIER!"

"Deku wasn't sure if Todo's last Trap was Blizzard Wall or not, though." Ashido pointed out. "Since it turned out he was running Cold Fusion instead..."

Todoroki's eye began to twitch, as if he could hear Ashido's commentary.

"And finally, I'm going to activate my Trap Card!" Midoriya announced, revealing... "Fragment Fusion! I can Fusion Summon a monster by banishing the monsters from my Graveyard, and it'll be destroyed during my End Phase." He explained. "And I'm going to banish Gem-Knight Sardonyx, Gem-Knight Alexandrite, and Gem-Knight Master Diamond!" He took the cards out of his Graveyard, and then revealed his summoned monster. "All my hopes... I bestow them on you! Shine bright, and carve my way to victory! Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!"

There was a pause, before an armored woman exploded onto the scene. Her armor was silver and gold, with a helmet like a diamond ring's and a crest on her chest made of cut diamonds. She was slender, though her upper body was offset by giant shoulder pads and a short red cape. In her hands was a long arming sword, easily as long as half her body.

ATK 3400 DEF 2000

The stadium was dead silent.

"3400 ATTACK?!" Yamada screamed, peaking the mic a bit. The crowds went ballistic.

"Todoroki..." Midoriya huffed, pointing at his opponent. Todoroki flinched. "Here I come." The right Cold Enchanter was destroyed by one Gem-Knight Pearl's punch.

7200 -> 6500

"ONE!" The other Cold Enchanter was destroyed, and now Todoroki was defenseless.

6500 -> 5800

"TWO! Now go, Gem-Knight Crystal!"

A spike of crystal grew out of Gem-Knight Crystal's arm as it slashed at Todoroki's chest.

5800 -> 3350

Todoroki screamed as he was dealt the direct damage.

"THREE!" Midoriya counted. He paused. "Todoroki..."

Todoroki looked at Midoriya, who had a blank glare at his opponent, his eyes almost seeming electric green from the energy in the air.

"...That's the game." Midoriya whispered, echoing every single duel Todoroki had won up to this point.

Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond flew forwards, stabbing forwards at Todoroki, whose eyes widened. Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond seemed to lunge right past Todoroki, cape fluttering in the wind.

Nobody moved.

Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond straightened up, flourished her blade, then held it in front of her face.

Todoroki collapsed.

3350 -> 0

Reverse AU where Armand is Marius' maker? Yes, but I think we should take this further. Imagine a reverse AU where adult!Armand (40 mortal + 1500 vampire years old Armand) is the Master of a 17 y.o. Marius.

Imagine teen!Marius being a very serious young man and... not entirely asexual, but he knows he has the whole life ahead of him, and does not feel the need to hurry up. Like, sorry, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your kind invitation, but I have books to read, and I should be home by sunset to greet my Master properly, therefore, I regretfully decline. Imagine a young loyal Marius who firmly ignores Bianca's very obvious advances because he knows that his Master courts this woman, and he would be an ungrateful pupil if he stood in his Master's way (of course, his own feelings regarding this matter are completely irrelevant). Imagine Armand being mad because he already decided this boy will have the whole eternity to enjoy his goddamn reading and writing, but has very limited time to engage into other activities, but he can't explain this to Marius without revealing too much, or can he? And then this epic moment probably happens...

(This is a screenshot from Rome HBO series, but I totally HC same thing also happened to young Marius at some point of his mortal life, AU or not AU.)

For the first time in his Venice years, Marius considers disobedience. He can't explain or rationalize why he is opposed to the idea. He goes to the brothel anyway. The act is pleasant but otherwise deeply unsatisfying. He can't justify this feeling, either. It seems that everything suddenly makes no sense at all. On the way home he considers drowning himself in a canal. He doesn't. Instead, he returns to the palazzo and has a very polite Marius-style silent meltdown and no one knows how to deal with this until Armand returns. They talk. They finally talk. And then they don't. And then they finally don't. And then Maruis thinks he probably understands what everything was about. BTW, he makes zero drama out of the fact that some of his Master's body parts do not function the way they are supposed to. On the opposite, he thinks he is connecting the dots now. He totally knows this may happen to older men because his books told him so. And at this point he suspects his Master is older than he seems (there is a talk in the palazzo that he is a magician or something), therefore, nothing to worry about. He suddenly understands why his Master was so insistent about the whole... virginity matter - like, "go enjoy all these things while your body is still young". His own feelings make more sense now, too. He is certainly happy to have a satisfying intimate life, but he is even more content now than every irrational thing received a consistent explanation.

And then teen!Marius gets himself mortally wounded, IDK, maybe while defending his Master's honour on a duel or something? And then he is so surprised to find out that he was not entirely wrong, but still... wrong. About certain things. And then probably comes the whole "we kill to live" thing, and it probably comes along with some drama, because it's Marius we are talking about. A man who claimed he haven't killed anyone in his mortal life. And then the separation, the lonesome journey through the centuries to come, the reunion in modern timeline and everything else.

Bonus points if teen!Marius was the voice of reason in the palazzo and talked his peers out of any mischief as much as possible. More bonus points if adult!Armand is a da Vinci type of artist, always engaged into his flying machines as much as he is into his paintings (I mean, canon Armand is good with technology, this fact should be used somewhere!).

I wish I could write fiction.

[crossdressingdeath]

Orin: Did it think it could protect? Did it think it could save? Only the blades can offer salvation. Kyvir: Like the salvation your mother offered? Attacked by your mother on Sarevok's orders. That must have hurt. Orin: No no NO NO NO! He didn't. He didn't... Filthy, pig-mouthed little LIAR! You think I hurt from such meaningless vapours? Do you forget what I did to you? A little hole, big enough for the worm, your body a blood sack to feed it. The favourite of Bhaal turned meat puppet, strung up by the sinews and plucked by my hands. Narrator: *A straggling memory rises: The day your tyranny should have engulfed this world, it was you who were the first to be enslaved.* Orin: Husk. Maggot. A Bhaalspawn, slip-sliding in filth with these pigs. You don't deserve the Murder Lord's blessing. Kyvir: I deserve it more than you. Sarevok ordered your mother to kill you. You weren't even meant to survive. Orin: Grandfather loves me. He worships me. How dare you smear his name. It will not save you. Kyvir: You're pathetic. No wonder he tricked you so easily. Orin: LIAR! Do you plan to duel me with such weakling words? I promise, mine are sharper. Come close, my Death's Heads, but keep your blades unblooded. Bhaal demands a duel. He wants to taste my domination. An altar flowing with his own unwilling flesh. Draining, dying, drip, drip, drip. Sceleritas Fel: You should have trained harder, Master.

The confrontation with Orin is awful. The way there's no real opportunity to show her kindness hurts me. Like, you can only use Sarevok ordering her mother to kill her (or Sarevok being her father, but I didn't get that option this time) as a weapon to throw her off-guard; I feel like Durge at least should get more of a chance to be kind. This is their sister! ...Well, niece, but it seems like they treated each other as siblings. Why can't they at least try to get through to her? Just in general the game kind of treats Orin super shittily by treating her like just a crazy serial killer with zero empathy; we know being Bhaalspawn fucks you up, and while I can see a lot of the origins showing very little empathy (they don't show a lot of empathy even to their good friend/lover Durge) I think Durge at least should be able to try to be kind to her...

Lapis season 0

I try to follow the duality of the ship with Seto by inverting the colors, and make it noticeable here: green eyes because in this version she is obsessed with Seto.

I imagine the dynamic as Light and Misa, only that Lapis would also be quite heartless with the others here. A partners in crime type ship.

Also, I used part of the main idea of what Lapis was going to be at the beginning but ended up discarding fjmfnejwjsdb

That version only lives in my memory, and in this publication.

Bi-Han and: Sareena, Shang Tsung or Sektor

I’m pretty indifferent* when it comes to the romantic aspect of shipping Bi-Han with Shang Tsung, Sareena or female Sektor but if there is one thing I like about all those potential relationships is how the theme of freedom and/or being freed is something those three ships have in common.

Bi-Han and Sareena? In Mythologies: Sub-Zero, the demoness asked Bi-Han to take her away from Netherrealm as she wished to escape this place for a long time:

Sub-Zero: Why did you help me?  Sareena: You are still mortal... that means  you can escape the Netherealm.  Sub-Zero: There won't be anywhere to go if I don't get the amulet back.  Sareena: Take me with you... I've waited an eternity to escape.  Sub-Zero: You don't understand. I can't leave  without the...

Bi-Han couldn’t leave Netherrealm without the Shinnok’s amulet because if he failed to steal it back, Earthrealm would be destroyed. We have no idea if after fulfilling mission Sub-Zero would take Sareena with him or not, as the demoness was killed by Shinnok.

But then in Mortal Kombat X, Sareena joined Special Forces against Quan Chi and on mission confronted Revenant Kitana:

Sareena: "It is possible to escape Quan Chi, Kitana. I can aid you as Bi-Han aided me." Revenant Kitana: “You became too familiar with Bi-Han. Allowed emotion to corrupt you." Sareena: "Emotion freed me!"

And though we have no idea if demoness talked about mortal Sub-Zero or Noob Saibot from between MK9 and the current game, she associates Bi-Han with escaping Quan Chi (freedom).

I have talked before how past timelines' Bi-Han and Shang Tsung share similar theme of reputation vs reality  and despite how dangerous or cunning or skilled they are, they are pretty much enslaved characters, as both were bound one way or another to their merciless masters (with the difference that Sub-Zero actually could left the clan if he had enough money, as was implied by his original ending from the first Mortal Kombat game). Noob Saibot and Shang Tsung have also in common patience to bid their time to overthrow their masters and rise to power, as was suggested by their various endings (mentioned here). So though power is associated with both men, the theme of enslavement and freeing themselves is also vital to their characters. 

And with Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) we have Bi-Han wanting to reject centuries-old tradition of Lin Kuei servitude to Liu Kang and Earthrealm and even saying to his brothers how father’s teaching (tradition) should guide them, but not shackle. Only to be seen literally shacked and by allying himself with Shang Tsung, being (visually and symbolic) freed from it by no other than Shang Tsung himself.

(And then NRS was a bastard and completely ignored Sub-Zero after dueling with Scorpion for the rest of the game).

This leads us to female Sektor, who shares Bi-Han’s vision of rejecting Lin Kuei servitude. In her BIO, Sektor is called Bi-Han’s kindred spirit and both are willing to go to great lengths to achieve their goal. At the end of Khaos Reings, Noob Saibot was seen put in coffin and taken to Temple of Elements,

where Liu Kang was supposed to undone the effects of Chaos Magic that influenced Bi-Han’s mind. In Sektor’s ending, Bi-Han is freed by her from being “imprisoned”:

Sektor:Though I had returned to the temple after Titan Havik's defeat, I remained livid. Livid with Bi-Han's foolishness, Kuai Liang's betrayal, and Cyrax's defection to his Shirai Ryu. So when Quan Chi arrived to parley, offering to eliminate the upstart clan, I listened... For his services, Quan Chi asked that I retrieve an amulet that was locked away in the Temple of the Elements. No small task, given its wards and guardians. Though one worth understanding, if it would finish the Lin Kuei's rivals. But before I could find the amulet, I found Bi-Han. There he was, imprisoned and forgotten, when Liu Kang had promised to restore him! As I rescued Bi-Han, all thought of retrieving Quan Chi's treasure was quickly forgotten. I will never forgive Liu Kang for this betrayal. That he is a god will not stop me from seeking vengeance." 

And I must say, there is something interesting about how three so different ships involving Bi-Han seem to share a similar theme of being freed. That, and the how Sareena, Sektor and Shang Tsung are all named on S.

*By indifferent, I mean I don't care one way or another, as Bi-Han is my precious aromantic & asexual cryomancer that I ship with freedom before any other character XDD

Normal/Flying/Enigma - or 'Larry is a goddamn Christmas present, and here's what I found when I unwrapped him'

... Fucking Larry, huh? Mad guy. Absolutely unhinged set of pixels. He's got as many interpretations as days in the year - autism, depression, the working man stereotype, 'just a dude', to name a few - but... and I know this is a bold claim, but I think I've got him figured out. I've already meta'd him before on a smaller scale, and concluded that Mister Quiet, Calm and Collected here is actually a secret showman who loves crowd approval, so let's carry on.

Let's work our way under his skin, yeah? You just sit there and eat onigiri king, take a well-deserved break.

Let's start with the obvious: Larry has no clue who he is. He gives you the Facade TM, tells you he hopes you have no need to put on the same front as him, and then during his rematch says this on why he loves Normal types:

... Which is all well and good, right? Fair, valid, pretty regular guy - except oh no wait, hang on, he is literally the least ordinary trainer in this franchise.

This right here is a perfect example of the duality of Larry already, and we've just started. He's a showman, an exhibitionist in the Pokemon arena, and he duel-serves as Elite Four and gym leader.

Just to put that into context for those fans who are newer than my veteran ass, no one does that. Even those who got promoted later - Lance, Koga and Wallace, unless I'm forgetting anyone else - have never wielded two titles simultaneously. And even in their promotions, Lance, Koga and Wallace keep their damn types. They don't master a whole new one, at the highest of battling levels, on a goddamn whim because their boss said to. Whether he likes it or not, by the established standards of this series, Larry is a fucking genius. Even those with mixed teams don't hold type mastery to this degree. Whether or not you personally found him easy or difficult to defeat either time is not the point - literally, no one's doing it like he is. He trains four entire new team members, between his three jobs (because oh yeah, he's got another one), to the late fifties/early sixties in levels and acts like it ain't shit. That's endgame levels to anyone else, the culmination of their eighteen-badge journey or their literal years of training - for Larry, it's fucking LEISURE TIME. Man's doing this in front of Netflix.

... And we're supposed to believe he's NORMAL? And the thing is, I don't even think he's gaslighting us, at least not consciously - he genuinely believes this. This is his normal.

No wonder Geeta sticks him in the gym right next to Area Zero. 90% sure he could solo the place if you gave him a few hours to go and catch the right team. Don't even know what we're doing here, to be quite honest. Might as well go home and hug the Skwovet in my own lounge, the adorable little bastard. What the honest fuck.

My man, take a look in that mirror as you munch those delicious rice balls. There ain't a single thing regular about you. Larry seems to have no clue that his life is anything but standard - he walks around wearing a facade. His penultimate mon, which I've covered the significance of before with Flapple and Hassel (and with Larry himself here), is Staraptor, a lone wolf, who leaves the flock upon evolving to live alone, and yet his ace Flamigo only functions well in a group. Just a quick compare-and-contrast between the dex entries of them both here:

... Excuse me whilst I error 404. He's got so little clue who he is, even his team has personality conflicts.

Thing is, right... if he walks around wearing a facade, why does he? In fact, whilst we're on the subject of his team, why doesn't he take his clearly vacation-themed team ON A VACATION?

Look at these guys.

Palm trees, tropical birds, blue skies with clouds, and... well, Staraptor's clearly his favourite. Man's got a holiday-themed squad, which leads us to another core point:

Larry doesn't drown himself in work because he likes it, he does it because he doesn't have anything else.

Logically, Larry must make bank. We don't know what the gym leaders get paid - though for the first time, we know that they definitely do, thanks to this:

(Thank you for that little screenshot, @prince-kallisto. <3)

And not only does he get paid from this, but he's in the Elite Four - every sensible conclusion says that this man has to be one of the highest-paid trainers in Paldea. And he's got a third job that we don't even know about. Bearing in mind that every other adult NPC in this game seems to get along just fine with one or two jobs, I don't think we need to remotely worry about Larry's finances.

And he doesn't particularly like any of his jobs, so he doesn't do them for love... and if he doesn't take any time off, he must be drowning in potential time to take off...

So, why doesn't he go on holiday? Why does he drown himself in work he dislikes when he has no financial need to; why does he live a lie; why doesn't he find out who he is?

Well, there's only one thing that really connects all that together, isn't there?

Larry's life is a void because he's alone.

When people are lost, they throw themselves into work to find purpose. What's the point of going on holiday when you've got no one to go with? This man does embody a stereotype perfectly, but it's probably not the one you think. It's much simpler - 'money can't buy you happiness.'

He tells you about this loneliness himself, in a way.

Larry has normal and regular interests, in a world where he is anything but, and people only want to be surprised. No one gets him, whether because they're not on his battling level, or because he's too ordinary. And when no one gets you... how are you supposed to get yourself? However introverted we are, we experience ourselves partly through others. He has the Elite Four, who are 100% a found family, but... the problem with that is that they accept him at face value because they love him. Which is amazing and all, we adore that, but it means no one gets under his skin.

And the further problem of that is that he's no happier deep-down. And that's not on his colleagues, not at all. Rika is relaxed and easygoing, Poppy is a child, and Hassel... well, Hassel is drama, Hassel is married. Hassel has his own perfect love story already. Hassel has already seen someone a little bit like Larry before - directionless, depressed, unsure of his own self - and he went and promised him forever anyway. (Hello Brassius, I see you king. Be careful on that windmill.)

... And that... yeah, that's kind of the crux of it all. Larry needs him someone very much like Hassel; someone who sees through every layer of facade, someone who accepts. (... I realise this is me right now, and yes, I do volunteer as tribute. Come here, you beautiful fucking not-normal man. <3)

Essentially, what I'm saying is...

Larry needs a partner... and I don't mean another Pokemon one.

But, as sad a conclusion as that is... he's learning, by the end of your time with him.

(Can we talk about the chef lady in the background, by the way, who is ignoring her TikTok to listen to his conclusion? What a sweetheart.)

We've taught him to open himself up a bit, to start embracing the new and the different. We've started to help this man, and if that isn't the most worthy thing my Nuzlocke son Juan here has done in his adventure through Paldea that wasn't helping a sick dog, I don't know what is.

As much as they annoy us sometimes, happiness is other people. Other people who see your soul, and smile. Perhaps he doesn't even need a romantic partner... perhaps he just needs the world's best friend.

But whatever it is that he needs... let him go on holiday, Game Freak. Let him be him, and very happy because of it. Give him a Hassel who isn't Hassel, and a month off at a certain DLC festival to spend with them. Larry exists in a club of one - he's too talented in the same breath as he's too average.

(Personally, I think he should take Katy, but... hey, that's me and my vanillacupcakes agenda. And the fact her ace is a Normal type who likes dessert.)
