Still excited that it exists, but still so sad about not being able to snag a ticket to the KnY Noh/Kyogen performances next week.

Sigh.

Siiiiiigh.

About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Nicole. I’m twenty-three years old and am a Pokémon Trainer from Unova! I’m a bit more of a casual Trainer. I love to battle and would love to take part in tournaments and competitions someday, but I’ve never taken the League challenge and don’t plan to. Right now I have nine Pokémon total. They are as follows:

- Apollo (Espeon, male): My partner and very first Pokémon. I found him wandering around lost when he was an Eevee. He was smaller than average, and I suspect he was abandoned by his family for being the runt. He’s a loyal companion and is rarely seen inside his Pokéball.

- Frostbite (Weavile, male): I caught him in the wild as a Sneasel. Looking back now, he was probably too much for an inexperienced Trainer’s second Pokémon. He was difficult to handle. He was confident and proud and therefore stubborn. He didn’t listen to commands and initially wanted nothing to do with me. However, he ended up being a great Pokémon. He can be aloof at times and a little standoffish towards strangers, but he’s just as loyal as the other Pokémon on my team.

- Spark (Kantonian Raichu, male): I caught him in the wild as a Pikachu. Despite not being native to Unova, Pikachu have been showing up in recent years due to mass breeding and people releasing them or the Pokémon getting loose. They’re an invasive species here, and it’s encouraged that people catch them to help decrease their population in the wild. I was lucky enough to find one. Spark is friendly and playful, but he gets distracted easily.

- Jet (Floatzel, male): I found him tangled in some fishing wire as a Buizel. He gets along with my team just fine, but overall he prefers to keep to himself and mostly stays away from people or Pokémon he doesn’t know. He also has a bit of a temper.

- Malachite (Shiny Serperior, male): I adopted him from a rescue as a Snivy. He was one of the many Pokémon seized from an illegal breeding mill and was extremely malnourished at the time. The Pokémon rescued hadn’t been given nearly enough food, water, or sunlight for any species, let alone Grass-types. When the Pokémon were finally stable and healthy enough, they were made available for adoption.

- Napoleon (Samurott, male): I caught him as an Oshawott while I was at the beach. He’s not as serious or standoffish as you’d expect a Samurott to be. Instead he’s pretty happy-go-lucky and even playful at times. He loves to battle and while he does take it seriously, he also lets himself have fun. For him it’s more of a casual sparring match rather than a serious competition. I got him shortly after adopting Malachite.

- Storm (Jolteon, male): I found him as a stray in Castelia City, already fully evolved. He’s a friendly and easy-going Pokémon. He especially gets along with younger Pokémon and is very gentle with them.

- Athena (Hydreigon, female): I adopted her at a rescue when she was still a Deino. She had been seized from an abusive Trainer who wanted nothing to do with her in the first place. The Trainer even went as far as to encourage her other Pokémon (all Fairy-types) to attack Athena. Despite her rough start and Hydreigon’s fierce reputation, Athena is a surprisingly mild-mannered Pokémon. She’s very docile for her species and can be a little shy around strangers. She constantly seeks out attention from me. I believe it is a form of reassurance for her.

- Carnage (Axew/Deino cross, male): I adopted him from @pokemonranch. He’s still young and it will be some time before he evolves. He’s feisty and territorial with other males, though he seems to get along with female Pokémon just fine. He has taken an interest in battling and I plan on using him on my battling team once we work through some of his behavioral issues.

((OOC under the cut))

This blog tries to look at the Pokémon world from a more realistic perspective. As far as logic goes and how the world works, I take inspiration from both the games and the show, while also mixing in a good amount of realism and my own headcanons. As far as what events are canon, I base it off of the games. It’s worth noting that Pokémon aren’t perfectly 1 to 1 with real life animals in my canon. The average Pokémon is more intelligent than their animal equivalent, but they still have instincts and often display animal-like behavior. They can’t speak like humans do or understand perfect English like they can in the show. In my canon the anime is just a cartoon in the Pokémon world.

I’m perfectly fine with discussing more serious topics on this blog. I try to take a more grounded approach. Dark or otherwise mature topics are completely fine with me.

Real world continents and countries and Pokémon regions exist in my canon. Regions make up the portion of the country they’re meant to represent. So for example, Japan is made up of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. The northeastern part of the US is made up of the Unova region. France is made up of the Kalos region, etc. It’s more common for people to refer to the specific regions when talking about different parts of the world.

Real life animals do not exist in my canon. They are completely replaced with Pokémon. I imagine that animals used to exist thousands of years ago, but were wiped out due to the existence of Pokémon.

If you have any questions about what is or isn’t canon, don’t hesitate to send in an ask!

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I very much only write one fic at a time, so everything else here is on hold while I finish writing and posting Family Crisis. As you can tell, I unironically love choosing titles. They need to be PERFECT.

With a small groan, Dae sunk into the chair across from Vera. "No murders today, okay?" he asked, rubbing his forehead. "I've had pretty much all I can take." With the deaths of the five still hanging heavily over the town, he was doing the best he could to push forward. But it wasn't easy. "Any other topic, I beg of you."

The inherent wish to post most of my other writing on Tumblr including a very niche story focused on the Ancient Era of Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom and the Hero's Aspect Link's journey with his Zelda from the eyes of an outsider but not really an outsider so I can scream into the void about that specific era of Hyrule we likely won't see anytime soon like a historian mourning the destruction of primary sources of information (read: damaged manuscripts and many other forms of documentation lost to time and as a history and culture student that hits too close to home) and trying to fill in the blanks as well as they can as well as other LU or Zelda related things vs My inherent anxiety over what's going on with Tumblr adding to my irl stress joining forces with my insomnia as I try to write that plus it interfering with the writing and editing of other projects due to sleep deprivation

FIGHT!

~ the great 01746 update saga ~

hello hello. due to a variety of reasons, (the passing of time, my skills improving, crippling perfectionist tendencies, etc.), i have decided to go through chapter by chapter and make some grammar/phrasing/flow edits to the story 01746. i like to think this work is my pride and joy, but recently i haven't been very proud or joyful about it, so this is my attempt at rectifying such an issue.

i will edit this post and reblog whenever i update a chapter, (or perhaps a few chapters, depending on how much time and energy i have. i want to avoid spamming reblogs!!), just so everything's transparent. i apologize for anyone currently reading or rereading the story. the plot and events are NOT CHANGING. literally all i'm doing is making it prettier, (or attempting to, at least).

see below for the progress list. chapters in green are edited, and chapters in red are not.

epilogue

[flaphack]

the bear s2 finale spoilers btw

one thing that has been bothering me abt the season finale is the lack of empathy . like not to be a cunt but carmy was legit going through it (and ofc the walk in fridge handle not getting fixed is his own fault, and ofc him thinking he saw his old boss and telling no one is his own fault too) but like??? bro got stuck in the walk-in during the biggest night of his life and claire broke up with him for being upset about it???? like yeah he shouldn't have said that shit about claire and richie but CMON LOL. it's just so frustrating to me that there was no empathy. maybe its just me but if i was in claire's shoes like obv i'd be upset abt someone saying shit abt me but i wouldnt break up with him for that? especially THE NIGHT OF ! it's always worth having a conversation and seeing where that shit comes from if u actually want the relationship to continue . carmy was being an asshole but like man i would at least be sympathetic that he got trapped during THE BIGGEST NIGHT OF HIS LIFE LOL ! maybe i just have a healthy perspective of relationships and personal issues tho .

gideon had heard the commotion from his room. it was where he stayed whilst he was in the house and the only reason he spent so much time there was so pederson didn't ask questions. still, he knew he couldn't not get a glimpse of what was happening down there if he could. it sounded like someone was in trouble. he hadn't needed to see a picture of cecilia to know that it was her that had just been dragged away by his security guards. of course, he would have tried to sneak back up to his room like he'd not seen anything but he felt eyes on him. of course. "why didn't you tell me? that she was the one who scammed my dad not you?" had gideon really given him the chance that night? well, no, his anger had gotten the better of him and he'd been locked in the basement. he'd learned, he hadn't liked it at all… hence why he tried to avoid pederson as much as possible now. "… i didn't see anything." was that what the man wanted to hear? @lcvenderhcze
