How can I find a gym near me?

How can I find a gym near me?

Make a rundown of rec centers in your space. Call/check online to check whether they have free passes to give it a shot. Go visit/exercise at the time(s) you would go. See audits, however don't accept it as gospel, for people will generally post pessimistic surveys in a spirit of meanness. When you find one or 2 you truly like, see enrollment bundles, contrast with find which one suits you better and go talk with rec center work force to sharpen down fine subtleties. Regardless of what you read here, just you understand what you are searching for. Best of luck . Read more click here :https://rb.gy/7zkfzs

I think the Paldean League is just embarrassingly short-staffed and under-funded all the time and that's why things are the way they are. The gym challenge isn't publicized or ingrained into the public sector in the same way as places like Galar or Kanto so they're operating on a shoestring budget for literally everything. Penny could hack into the LP system easily because the entire thing was coded by Larry over a long weekend using his skills in Excel and a few dozen wikihow articles

Hey! No suitcases left? I was interested into one oft the north-east from the US

First of all, congratulations on your MBA! Graduated with honors from Harvard. Pretty impressive. But I get it: with the burden of student loan debt on your shoulders, even with that cool new job as an investment banker, you still can't make any big leaps. There you go hoping for something to go with your Ivy League look. I'm afraid I don't have anything from BOS, BDL, PVD or even JFK…. But I could offer you a sports bag from EWR. Adidas logo, but says "Balenciaga" on it. Looks damn expensive! Anyway, I don't begrudge it to you. And I hope there are also sports clothes in it. Because let's be honest: You have neglected your body a little bit in the last years.

And indeed: There are sports clothes in the bag. Not the kind of stuff you wear to the gym. Street style gear. All new, all pretty expensive looking. All completely unusable for you. First of all, it doesn't fit you. And second, you won't need much else to wear for the next few months besides a dark blue suit with a white shirt. Unless you have that much time to change for sleep. I recommend you sleep naked, though. Saves time. And trust me, in your new job, you're going to need every freaking second of sleep you can get.

No matter, to put the whole thing on ebay or to sell it at a seconc hand store, you don't have the time. You put the bag in the corner of your small and expensive downtown apartment. After all, the gold chain is pretty cool. You can wear it sometime. Just to sleep tonight. Tomorrow you start your new job. You should do without such extravagances.

At night you dream wildly. About your new job. About university. But also about expensive sports cars racing in the city center. And of orgies in expensive clubs. You wake up with a very impressive morning wood. And obviously you came more than once tonight. Fuck, now you have to make up the bed. You don't have the time at all. Then breakfast will have to be cancelled. You're not too late on your first day at work.

Fuck! Where are your shoes? There, where they should be, are a lot of sneakers. And a few boots. But no oxfords, no loafers, no shoes that match your suit. You just take a pair of sneakers that look reasonably discreet. And in the rush you forget to take off the chain. When you see all the tie-wearers in the elevator, you notice it. You think about taking off the chain quickly. But that would look even less confident.

The first day at work is still fairly relaxed. A lot of organizational stuff. You are whipped into the company philosophy. You have to sign dozens of forms on compliance issues. And when the day is over, you're already wondering if this was the right decision to start here. As you leave, the partner who supervised you and the other newcomers during the day says "One more word about the dress code. You don't necessarily need a tie. And it's also okay not to wear sensible shoes, but to come in $1,500 sneakers." He's clearly looking in the direction of your shoes. "But it's only okay if it's Friday. And if you're a partner here. Ladies, gentlemen, just to remind you, it's Thursday."

The other new colleagues all know each other. Either their parents already work here. Or they've been to school or country club together. They don't even ask you if you want to join them to toast the start of your career. You wouldn't have wanted to anyway. You need fresh air now. And you walk home. Not far from your apartment, you pass a club. The bouncer looks you in the face, looks at your shoes, looks you in the face again. And nods appreciatively. He asks you if you would like to have a drink. You smile and say, maybe tomorrow. Today you just want to go to bed.

Fuck, if this goes on, you'll run out of sheets. Or you'll have to sleep with a condom in the future. As you dry off after your shower, you're surprised at how firm your belly feels. You have lost weight. Quite noticeably. But that doesn't happen overnight… However, not all shirts and suits usually disappear overnight. There are only black suits in your closet. And black shirts. Many made of shiny fabrics. Some, fortunately, made of office-appropriate fabrics. All in all, your closet looks completely different. A real chic spacious built-in closet, with all the clothes neatly lined up on identical hangers. And almost everything is black. Looks great. But it wasn't like this yesterday….

You can't think about it much longer now. You put on a black cotton shirt and a black virgin wool suit. Both from Italian designers. Tightly cut, emphasizing your slim body. And if you're already out of the ordinary, white sneakers with a black suit don't matter either. Yes, you don't look like a serious investment banker. But you look hot. Really hot! But you get the receipt immediately when you arrive at the office. The cute guy at the reception is still visibly excited and flirts with you. Your supervisor just yells "Hey, wetback, come to my office right now!" through the open-plan office. When you don't respond, there's a "You in the black shirt! Now!" Damn, you're off to a fantastic start at work.

Your boss asks you how long you've been in the U.S. and how good your English is. You answer in your best East Coast English that you were born here and that your English is quite good. Okay, replies your boss. That's good. Because they have a customer for whom it is important that you are fluent in English and Spanish. You want to answer that you had German, French and Latin in school, but you nod and answer "¡No hay problema, jefe, puedo hacerlo!" Fuck! Your boss grins, slaps you on the shoulder and hands you a folder. All the access codes for protected folders are in there. You should look at it until Monday morning. Then you have an appointment with the customer in New Jersey. Don't worry, he's coming with you. But he needs an interpreter. And he adds that if something doesn't seem quite legal to you, it probably isn't quite legal.

By the time you leave the office around 10:00 p.m., your skull is smoking. The client seems to be making a lot of dough with a lot of different businesses. Some are legal, some are a little bit legal, and some are obviously completely illegal. And your job now is to restructure the corporation so that everything looks at least perfectly legal. Actually, you thought that you were only supposed to trade a few shares here. You didn't expect anything like this. On your way home, the doorman greets you like an old friend. You ask if your place at the bar is still free. The bouncer answers with a grin, "Hermano, tu sitio en el bar está siempre libre para ti". Then you realize that you had greeted the bouncer in Spanish. You go into the club. You start to dance a bit to the salsa music. When you arrive at your place at the bar, your glass of Havana Club Maximo Extra Anejo is already at your seat. You smile at the bartender. He leans over the counter, gives you a kiss and unbuttons your shirt. "Jefe, pareces un contable cuando no muestras tu musculoso pecho." You grin, take a sip of your rum and look around. It's still quiet. But then, it's still early in the evening.

It is already dawn when you leave the club. Completely confused. You had fun all evening. Everyone seemed to know you. Twice someone gave you a blowjob in the toilet. And all this time you were not surprised. But when you went to the bathroom to wash your hands, you saw your reflection in the mirror. And it was not you. You are tanned. You have a carefully trimmed black beard. And your chest, shiny with sweat from dancing, is not only well worked out. It is also inked. When you arrive home, undressed and standing in front of the bathroom mirror in your black silk pajama pants, brushing your teeth, you take another close look at the tattoos. They are works of art. You've always been damn proud of them.

Actually, you can't afford to be, given your deadline on Monday, but Saturday belongs to sports. One hour of cardio, one hour of swimming, one hour of lifting weights. And to top it all off, an hour of boxing. In the gym, everyone calls you Balenciaga. Because of your sports bag, you're known as a sore thumb. You don't care. Here you are at home. There are few places where you've spent more time. And hey, there are worse nicknames! Your bros ask you if you're still coming to go drink unos vasos. Not today, tomorrow you have to be fit. On Monday you must not make a mistake.

On Sunday you are certainly not the only one who is in the office. But there you do not care what the others say about your outfit. You look good in the Prada tracksuit. When you step into the elevator at 6:00 in the morning, you don't see anyone yet. Not even the cleaning staff or security. You boot up your computer and continue reading business reports. Fuck, your client is a genius. It's almost impossible to recognize a pattern in the tangle and to get to the bottom of it. But slowly you see through the construct. You startle when someone grabs your shoulder. Your boss is standing behind you. And tells you that he has been watching you for an hour. It is now 8:00 pm. You are doing a good job. But now is a good time to call it a day on a Sunday.

On the way home you take a break for a glass of rum. But somehow you can't concentrate. You can't relax either. Even fiddling with the bartender's nipples is no fun. You say goodbye and go home. You can't say why, but your apartment isn't your home anymore either. Yes, that's your clothes hanging in the closet. Yes, those are your stuff in the bathroom. But everything feels wrong. You don't belong here. In fact, you don't belong in this body either. You definitely don't belong in an investment bank. You toss and turn in your bed. Until you fall asleep.

You wake up with the morning sun. One of the things you love about your penthouse is the view across the Hudson River to the Manhattan skyline at sunrise. Yes, New Jersey is not New York. But the view of New York is the better one. You take a few laps in the pool on the roof terrace. Until your assistant tells you the guys from the bank are here. They should sit down on the terrace.

You take a quick look at them. You haven't met the fellow yet. He looks like he's fresh out of college. Let's see if he's any good. You've been working with his boss for a while. He'll do anything for a line of coke. But he does it well. And you need good men around you to keep the place running.

Pokemon Mini Headcanons

Realized it's been a solid minute since I've shared anything. so! here's some pokemon headcanon tidbits that have kinda been floating around in my head but I don't have anywhere to put them yet:

Barry is extremely tall. Like, at least six feet. Since he's very visibly the goofy type, it's not super intimidating until suddenly he's barreling down the street and nearly knocking people over in his wake. He's also incredibly clumsy, so it's kind of a bull(tauros?)-in-a-china-shop situation.

Leaf is part of the team that revolutionized and maintains the PSS (not part of the original team though, she's too young for that), which is of course led by Bill. Where Bill came up with the, made the team, and did a bunch of hardware stuff, Leaf is in charge of software stuff and does coding for the different programs. As for the rest of the team. well. I don't know who they are bc I haven't gotten that far.

Also, Red's sign name for Leaf is Green, as in, literally the sign for the color (the same goes for Blue). Blue's often calls her Greenie as a result.

As Hoenn's Champion, Brendan is considered a very down-to-earth and blunt person, which is great and all until you remember he's from the ✨️bearimba pokeverse✨️'s equivalent of Florida and is basically Reigning Florida Man Supreme. He's definitely done some crazy stuff but it kinda gets shoved on the back burner (that definitely isn't partially because the media pushes his more serious side in order to fight the "all Hoennians are unhinged" allegations).

Lucas is legally deaf (deaf but not Deaf, he lost his hearing as a kid) and uses hearing aids. He can kinda sorta understand people without them, but it's less like he understands the words and more like he understands the sounds that are supposed to be word, so it's way more convenient to keep them in. Whenever he doesn't want to deal with Dawn's and Barry's shenanigans, he just turns them off, closes his eyes, and relishes in the relative peace and quiet.

He's also the one who gets transported back to Hisui during the final battle with Dialga/Palkia/Giratina. Long story short (bearimba DPPt/PLA rewrite when?), his hearing aids get destroyed in the process of getting transported and he's forced to go through the events of PLA at a huge disadvantage, mostly relying on his quick wit and vast knowledge of pokemon to survive the game.

Lorelei, Karen, and Clair are all besties, and they meet up regularly to have brunch and share the latest gossip (aka pooling together their resources to gather info on their enemies, discuss the most recent affairs in Kanto/Johto, and more, all under the guise of "girls' time").

Silver and Janine first meet when Silver gets accidentally caught up in a prank meant for the E4, for which Janine very vehemently apologizes (under threat from Koga) and Silver reluctantly forgives her (under threat from Lance). They get along surprisingly well after that, especially after they both get involved in the Kanto League as gym leaders, and they eventually become pretty good friends.

Team Rocket was kinda just a shady family business until Giovanni took over in his twenties. In the 30ish years he presided over the it, he managed to develop it into a massive, multi-level and multi-department organization with their fingers in just about every aspects of the Kanto economy before their collapse. (all things considered, it's kinda funny/pathetic how things ended---he had all this power, then just threw all that and his kid out the window because some teenager happened to beat him in a pokemon battle)

Indigo Plateau (the actual plateau itself, not the League building) is pretty unique in that it's literally a plateau in the middle of a bunch of mountains. which. isn't really how geography works. Story goes, it was originally a mountain that served as the battleground for a pair of ridiculously overpowered trainers, and it got leveled in the middle of all the fighting. In honor of the plateau's legend, there was a regularly held tournament for pokemon trainers to decide who was the best of the best in the region. Eventually, some guy decided to make it an "official" event, and that's how the Pokemon League got its start before it spread and became an international organization!

@fierylittleniece sent: ϖ

A firm workout regimen was one thing that had never slipped when he was discharged from military service. Granted it normally came in the form of fighting for the safety and stability of the galaxy as a GL or fighting as part of the Justice League. But when those responsibilities were taken on by others he went to the gym like anyone else would. Which is how he'd met Roxy - at her gym. They'd hit it off well enough for him to get a number out of her, seemed she was always on the hunt for workout buddies that could keep up with her strict needs.

Who better than a Marine?

Unfortunately, after a few meetups, he'd been put out of commission for a bit following a slight shoulder injury. Nothing major he'd be right back to form in a week but for now they limited themselves to running. He'd called it quits a little early to ice his shoulder. When his phone began to buzz he figured it was her setting their next meet, a green glow enveloped the device as it levitated over to him.

Snatching out of the air with the hand not preoccupied with holding the icepack to his shoulder he put his code in . . . and ended up faced with an image he didn't expect. After a healthy amount of time to stare he swiped out of his messages. Then he double-checked to make sure it was Roxy who had sent the message. And then he looked at the picture again.

[ sms : workout junkie ] : Hey, either this is an aggressive flirting tactic . . .

[ sms : workout junkie ] : Or it wasn't meant for me

[ sms : workout junkie ] : Gotta respect the form though, damn

[ sms : workout junkie ] : There are some guys I knew who couldn't make those kinda abs happen

[interregionalgyminspections]

What's the worst code violation you have seen in a gym?

Did you know that, at least in the Sinnoh region, those statues you see at the start of gyms weren't always just for decoration?

They used to be equipped with loudspeakers, for a League representative to announce the rules of the gym.

But, well, you see...the last Sinnoh League representative to do the job got...a bit overzealous, to put it mildly. They were extremely strict about the rules, and would throw out anyone who they thought was breaking them.

And I mean that literally. They were a powerful psychic, and would use their psychic powers to throw out anyone who they deemed to be breaking the rules.

As you can probably understand, that's not good!

So we decided to scrap that system, and replace it with people being physically there at the start of gyms, who would be there to make sure everything goes smoothly in the gym, without throwing people out like that League representative. They're called "gym welcomers".

You know those people at the start of gyms who keep calling you "Champ in the making"? Those are gym welcomers.

On that note, if you live in a town with a gym, thank your local gym welcomer today. They do great work.

[joviantwelve]

okay you said you had a pokémon fanregion in your head, and now i gotta hear all about that, is the thing

OH god actually it's really funny how much shit that was in it has come to pass in canon by now, because I originally conceptualized it circa gen 4. It's usually what I think about if I think of like pokemon fancharacters or whatever. here we fuckin go

It was based on the Holon region in the TCG which has pokemon with funny types. we have Tera types now... the idea was that it would be begin further expanding and adding its own League and whatnot. I put it as above Johto/Kanto so relatively gen 1&2 selection of mons. keeping it simple.

it was more about the Weird Type Shit, which the pokemon prof of the region was studying under an organization she was a part of (the evil team, which was not branded as "Team (x)" just like Aether Foundation lmao). anomalies to track down and whatnot. but they were also inducing it themselves and studying other detected anomalies in the region. or sometimes the experiments they did created new, unintended anomalies of their own

this was mostly to make Missingno canon. which is like the only thing that hasn't still come to pass yet (BUT IT SHOULD!!!!!!). my dearest darlingest Missingno, the entire reason I love glitches today, was effectively my box legendary. the backstory of the prof was much like Lusamine in that she saw this Fucking Weird Pokemon a long time ago due to her Experiments and it fucked her up and she became a weird bad anime mom afterward. SHE EVEN HAD A DEAD HUSBAND!!!!!!! I FUCKIN INVENTED LUSAMINE FIRST

oh I should mention the "protag" analogue of the region WAS the professor's child. SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you had to fight your mom. who is the prof. who is also the evil team leader. and corrupted by some messed up videogame code. damn that sucks

later when we started getting more AI-feeling Rotom characters, I imagined a Rotom in a more robot/android body as one of the team underlings. he was the protag's buddy back home but now he has to fight you :( sorry i dont wanna do this but my programming is telling me to (throws a pokeball out halfheartedly)

(ASIDE: I remember in the first movie when they were like flabbergasted at Mewtwo technically qualifying as a pokemon trainer. that was kinda fucked up and weird, can we go back to that? tbh when I think about it, a lot of the vibe of my fanregion is based on how Weird early pokemon gens felt. they really dont make it like this anymore. Ape Inc became Creatures, I'm certain some EarthBound talent factored in)

I think I was also imagining weird-typed versions of the legendary birds for a trio, which is funny cuz we got Galarian versions of them now too....

Hooke was originally a Pokemon OC and was my first one actually, he ran a Dark-type gym because one didn't exist in canon yet. he was ex-Team Rocket and moved up north to turn a new leaf. thought it fit Dark's vibe as like the Schemer Type. I had to wait amazingly long for an actual Dark-type gym in canon which is kinda funny. it actually felt a little sad when we finally got one because it had been 11 years since I had made Hooke in protest of this

if you remember my OC Serafine (she doesnt have a TH SORRY), she was also an evil team exec.

she doesn't have a modern analogue but another one of the fancharacters was the rival-type one and she was Lt. Surge's spoiled neice

the Ghost-type gym leader I can describe as a Super Nerd with the constitution of the Hiker. can see ghosts but is a social outcast but more in a nerd sense than a goth sense. I liked him a lot but I haven't had anywhere to put him :(

the Psychic-type leader was extremely tsundere and her mind reading helped her out with all those tsundere insecurities (now she's just paranoid and preemptively reads people's minds)

the Fire- and Steel-type leaders were a duo battle of "smoke and mirrors" themed magicians. and also married

this is largely stream of consciousness I hope this post makes SENSE

[jax-and-winstrate]

alright, it's been about one year since I joined Rotumblr, time for a new pinned post.

hello everyone, I am Jax, an ultra recon squad intern, a student at the Blueberry Academy, the current champion of the Trading Card Game Islands and a Mew hybrid. also a Meloetta chosen I guess. I used to be an aqua grunt and the leader of Operation: Clean Seas, but some things happened and I'm no longer an aqua grunt (I wasn't fired, I quit for safety reasons) and Operation: Clean Seas failed.

HI, I'M WINSTRATE! I AM A PORYGON2 AND THE FUTURE CHAMPION OF HOENN! CURRENT AMOUNT OF BADGES: 1

Hey, I'm Tommy! I'm a Rotom, and I occasionally post on this blog!

Berry growing guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/198X-ZPGrf6LsArPp0vBrciI_yzlBMMDB_uiWFQ66Ywc/edit?usp=drivesdk

List of all of my Pokémon: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I3KtAMCryYxhtbj9cUFUgTXHzdOesPy0Ujy0eYIjp78/edit?usp=drivesdk

I have a lot of cool siblings and a bunch of Phantump children that I adopted! my current siblings are Julie (@julie-winstrate-and-star-no-mi), Felix, Nowaki, and Tsumi (@fabas-failed-science-projects, you can also find me and one of my very cool friends on this blog)! my ma also has a blog (@vivian-winstrate)! also one of my Pokémon has a blog (@miss-cool-hat it used to be Coffee's but Hattie took over)

My current stats: level 10�, Psychic/Normal, known moves are Psychic, Drain Punch, Relic Song, and Explosion.

also all mail stuff and anon stuff are allowed. just don't mail me a billion eggs

here's my trainer card

//ooc stuff below

hello everyone, it's me, @half-or-nothing! I decided to rewrite the pinned post for this blog since it's been on here for one whole year, and a lot of things have changed!

first let's start with the rules

1. No NSFW! this character is a minor and this is run by a minor!

2. Don't send ooc hate to me or anyone I interact with! the people running the other blogs are really nice and cool!

3. be respectful! no homophobia or transphobia or any of that shit here! none of it!

second, this blog is not a sideblog, so it can like and follow blogs. however, I do have sideblogs for this blog. those blogs are:

@julie-winstrate-and-star-no-mi (Prisma Ranger and Jax's sister)

@miss-cool-hat (Jax's Hatterene, Hattie. used to be Coffee's blog)

@chef-yujin (Jax and Julie's uncle-in-law, he's a chef and is friends with a Raikou)

@winstrate-family (the actual Winstrate family from RSE and ORAS, also Vito isn't on here)

@wyatt-and-elliott (a gym leader and gym trainer/evil team grunt from the Salen region)

@james-and-skitty (Jax's boyfriend! he was also kinda a PMD oc at first)

@fabas-failed-science-projects (a blog that's managed by @cooperblr @phantom-freak and me! Jax is on here, along with the four other hybrids that Faba created)

@bird-of-all-trades (another Prisma Ranger!)

@tcg-league-and-sanctuary (another blog for a group of canon characters! this time it's the league for the tcg islands)

@vivian-winstrate (Jax and Julie's biological mother! she's cool :3)

@kuniku-island-league (a league for a fan-made region! it is currently being ran with @phantom-freak , but more if more people join the discord and create ocs!)

third, a description of the blog. this blog is pretty high-stakes at times, and there will be a lot of wacky shit. y'know, for funsies. Jax is a Mew hybrid (specifically melanistic), so he can do some weird stuff like learn every tm. he is also missing his left leg and left eye. he's also a criminal probably, so you can do some fun stuff with that if you want. also Winstrate is a Porygon 2 now thanks to Jax's coding abilities

here's the link to where Jax's old and soon to be pfp is from!

also, I made a discord server for promoting pkmn irl discord servers, like chat servers and event servers. join if you want

October day 8: past

Vern and Aster in their secondary school uniforms!! Info about their younger selves and the school they attended under the cut :))

Vernon has not changed much from his younger self. He has always been the responsible and kind of serious type, but was far more protective of Aster when they were in school compared to now. Would always make sure to wait for her at the end of the day so they could walk home together and help her with homework and stuff. Well liked by his classmates. Had more colour in his face as a teenager than he does in the present.

Aster used to be a quiet and reserved child, and didn’t really start to come out of her shell around people outside her immediate family until she was 14/15. At home she could be talkative and rowdy, but around classmates would struggle to socialise and make conversation. Didn’t have many friends and those she had were more like close acquaintances than genuine connections. If it wasn’t for Vernon being a doting older brother she’d have been extremely lonely as a child.

Their school had a semi-relaxed policy in that as long as the colours do not deviate too far from school colours they can wear whatever footwear they please (as long as the heel is 2 inches or less, higher heels are not allowed lol). Once students enter sixth form (yrs 12-13/final 2 years of high school) they no longer have a dress code and can dress however they want within reason.

Vaguely inspired by vocational trade schools/polytechnics and the implementation of BTEC studies that kind of replaced them in the UK (I think. Don’t quote me on that lol), the school is focussed around battling and general pokemon care and husbandry. Core subjects such as maths and science are still covered, but the idea is at around 13/14 years old students will pick a programme in their education that leads into a career with direct involvement with the care and raising of pokemon (e.g. being a gym trainer/potentially a gym leader, working in a daycare, pokemon centre, pokemon groomer, etc.). Core subjects and electives are studied alongside the chosen vocational programme until reaching sixth form where the last two years of study are devoted to vocational programmes.

Vernon already knew he’d follow in his dad’s footsteps and become a flying taxi cabbie which has its own training outside of normal education, so decided to join the pokemon grooming programme, accompanied by electives in history and geography. Total nerd that passed all his classes with flying colours and could have easily gone into grooming as a backup career. Went straight into flying taxi training and gained qualifications to become an official cabbie within a year after finishing school.

Aster had joined the battle studies programme with electives in fine art and music, but dropped out after a few months due to her success in the Galar League Gym Challenge, then abdicating her title as champion in order to travel after two months. Never finished school, doesn’t have any official qualifications beside her stint as league champion and doesn’t really like to draw attention to her lack of formal education as she finds it embarrassing.

Some ramblings about Breve

Breve is a rather undeveloped character of mine, at least so far. He's mainly an exposition dump, a front for rambling about worldbuilding for League-related and safety-related matters in the mainline Pokemon world.

However, that's not to say that he's devoid of character. And here, I'd like to ramble a bit about him.

For starters, he's been a gym inspector for a rather long time, about 20 years. He's seen many terrible gyms, many terrific gyms, and everything in between.

He has a dislike of the honor system, as, at least in his eyes, it leads to people taking advantage of it to skirt around being up to code. And so, instead of taking people at their word, he rigorously inspects gyms and similar facilities, to make sure they're safe and accessible.

He's a bit aloof at times, but he's very rarely inattentive. He's vigilant, and makes sure everything is up to code.

He has a phrase he likes to say a lot. "Have fun, but safety first." You can have your fun, as long as it's not at the expense of other people's safety.

I hope to develop Breve more, as I have him interact with other characters.

[drawnbinary]

I'm sorry to bother you but I've been obsessed with hassius and I'm currently gnawing them like a wooden block and leaving teeth imprints on them. They have so much potential to explore??? How did they meet, when did they meet, did they study at the academy together? There's this whole implied story of Brassius falling ill and losing inspiration only for Hassel to be there for him and helping him get better? Then there's the thing of Hassel leaving his dragon tamer clan only for his family to pester him and LYING TO HIM ABOUT HIS DAD'S ILLNESS??? How does Brassius feel about it all? How did Hassel become a teacher and an elite four member??? How did Brassius become a gym leader? There's so much potential!!!

Plus like, call me delusional, but Hassel has to be blatantly gay coded, right? Leaving his strict and traditional family that forces him to likely marry a woman and have children to continue the bloodline, but he instead chooses to be a teacher and a sort of parental figure to people who aren't closely related to him (his students), he's very emotional and prone to being moved to tears (anither sort-of stereotypically gay trait), plus he pursues art (you know how many queer artists there are) that he shares with ANOTHER male artist who he supported through a serious illness and calls PET NAMES AND SHIT??? This had to be intentional, it had to be. Gamefreak probably won't make any named character canonically queer, but imo Hassel is one of the few that comes as close to being canonically gay as posssible.

Again, sorry to bother you with this but holy FUCK there's so much to talk about. People are sleeping on this ship and it's criminal.

You're definitely not bothering me, I have been so unhinged over them for months (the Hassius discord may be relevant to your interests)

I think the only reason people are sleeping on them is because the majority of their story/characterization is hidden in the optional tutorial area rip :((

I've put most of my reply under a Read More because I accidentally wrote nearly 800 words 😅

I assume that Hassel has been an Elite Four member longer than an art teacher at the academy because all the staff were replaced after Operation Star but I think it's a super logical transition for Hassel to go from inspiring Brassius' current art style, that he's proud of, to inspiring the artists as his job. Brassius already being a public figure with a clear single-type specialty seems like a natural fit for a gym leader whenever the League was formed or looking for members (depending on how old/recent it is)

Hassel is absolutely queer-coded. Going from the next of being the head of the family, and presumably the heteronormative expectations that come along with that, and leaving all that behind to pursue a creative field is so classically queer. Also moving to another country and meeting a man with whom he forms a very deep bond and settling down there 🤨🌈. I wonder whether Hassel got into visual art before or after he got to know Brassius...

And Brassius who tries to chase fame and fortune by doing what's expected of him and becoming depressed because, although he was always free to pursue his creative field, he wasn't being genuine to himself. Hassel inspiring him to be honest with himself and doing what his heart desires leads to a piece of art that renews his desire to continue with sculpting and... I think it's no coincidence that sunflora, the pokemon symbolic of smiles and sunshine, looks like Hassel... and he filled his town with 34 of them...

Also Brassius, a fruit, in love with the dragon man, is fully designed after a dragon fruit, down to the cactus-like hair (there is also a dragon fruit that has Hassel's vague colour scheme and I definitely didn't go insane when I found it). On a barely related note, the fact that the camera objectifies Brassius so hard by always zooming in on his pelvic zone in those tight leather pants and him having a knife and a whip... what were they doing there?? Fruit

I'm intrigued as to which part of the full Surrendering Sunflora story was new to Hassel during that class but after Brassius telling it and saying, "This kind of thing is hard to tell someone, especially when they are so close to you." and then excusing himself because he outright says that he's feeling embarrassed. And Hassel being moved to tears... Also it's interesting in the first place that Hassel asked about that one and not Brassius' most recent piece, Harvest (being advertised on the Levincia billboards)

YEAH THE APPLIN THING [referencing additional ask]. The fact that it's so out-of-place for an Elite Four dragon team when there are so many other options but the symbolism of it hOOO. And god, do I even have to mention the nicknames wow.

I have three different headcanons about how they long they've been a couple depending on what kind of narrative I'm going for (and pretty much all of these have a lot more to them): - Been together for ages prior to the plot of the game, possibly married (good and flexible, mostly for fun) - Got together not long before the plot (so it makes sense that Hassel wouldn't know as much depth about Brassius' proudest piece and that Brassius is embarrassed to talk about such personal things, besides the classroom setting) - And them getting together not long after Art 4, which I think is the most likely of the headcanons for the above reasons and it felt like they were teetering on the edge of making the transition from deep friendship to more-than-friendship.

Oh man I have some elaborate headcanons about Brassius' illness (the actual illness is of little interest to me) but as a story device, it is delightful to explore and the first two of the above headcanons are where I have the most fun depending on when I set things.

ALSO HAVE YOU SEEN EPISODE TEN OF POKEMON HORIZONS Have you seen Brassius' two appletun sculptures? Have you seen inside the closet in the bedroom of the house? The green jackets in there that are clearly too large for Brassius? I'm so insane over it.

Umemiya is so girl dad coded. And he’s the gym teacher that coaches little league. When I saw that man calmly hug the rabid animal that bit him I just knew

[alolanrain]

I'm in need of some Aurafangshipping headcanons. Got any at the moment?

I do, I do! mostly focusing on Raihan since I usually focus on Ash's perspective a lot in HC's. trying to shake that up a bit.

\ it takes a while for Raihan to actually meet Delia. not because Ash doesn't want him to meet his mom but because of Raihan's own fears. he doesn't have that good of a track with relationships and Ash is his healthiest by far so meeting with the parents of his significant other gets him really flighty and nervous.

\ it doesn't disappear when he meets Delia either for the first time. he basically hide behind Ash the entire visit and jumps whenever Delia appeared beside him. he had the same problem when Ash first started to stay the night early on in their relationship, that is until he was able to pick out the sound of his steps after a week and a half of having little heart attacks every time Ash was suddenly by his side.

\ Raihan also likes meeting Ash friends out in the open or in public spaces such as restaurants and such and not in places like homes and such. he's a big guy and everyone of Ash's friends are tiny compared to him so he feels really conscious. the restaurant and public places seem to bring the gym leader confidence out in him so Raihan uses it for a cheat code against his anxiety.

\ there are laminated papers plastered almost everywhere around their house. a giant white board is up in the living room filled with both his and Ash's schedules. since their main house is in Galar, Alolan league is more relaxed and tends to run through it's courses faster since it's just four islands and not one big land mass and the Kahuna's can still pick who can participate and who can't, Raihan updates the board when he call's Ash every day when he gets home.

\ doesn't matter the time difference between the two, both Ash and Raihan will call each other when they get up and when their about to head to bed. most of the time one of them is asleep and doesn't pick up, which then leads to an hour long voicemail thy listen to in bed before getting up, but during the moments they can speak together it's usually filled with low hums and soft words.

\ Raihan's gym trainers have witness a few of these calls when Raihan is in his office really early and their helping him with all the paperwork Rose and Oleana shove down his way. it's very soft and war, and they all naturally stop what their doing and listen, even though they pretend to do their work bc then that means Raihan would stop and take the call outside the office-leaving the three inside.

\ big parental energy towards those three gym trainers as well. doesn't matter if their older then Ash in someway-unlikely since I hc Raihan is around mid 24 and Ash is around early 22 after the events of Darkest Day-they'll refer to him as mom jokingly when he's at the gym and gently try's to corral them back to doing their work and not eavesdropping behind Raihans office doors like the little shit's they are.

\ those three have so many tiktok drafts with the "mamma e papa" soundtrack and it's usually just a short video of them trailing after the two at the market place by Kabu's gym or the fairs at Milo's. there's a few moments where their in a restaurant-think brunch and or just early lunch since Ash's flights usually come in the early hours of the day for some reason-and they all agreed to keep it a secret from the duo until they died.

\ brunches are the only way Raihan and Ash will eat any kind of breakfast on their days off. they take the time to be lazy around the house or clean it up-for Raihan's case who loves there the most out of the both of them-and usually Piers and Gordie will join if they can. though most of the time Raihan is usually called in back to work because somethings up with the vault or Leon needs him.

\ Raihans so good at paperwork and other duties of a chairmen and had offered to switch with Leon so the man could have a lot lighter schedule and still be in the league, though it hurt Raihan a bit to give up his dragon type gym, though Leon doesn't take the offer up. this does lead to Raihan exploding on him when it gets increasingly obvious that Leon doesn't know how properly manage all the Chairmen paperwork on top of the Champion paperwork he still has to finish ON TOP of checking all of the gym leader's paperwork. it was very obvious that Oleana ran the scene hard behind Rose's back.

\ it takes a while for Raihan to come to terms that he needs to be more sturdy on his boundaries. after a life time of being put off by his Rose, his fucking dad and only parent that was alive at the time-mom died of breast cancer before Raihan started his journey-in favor of Leon, and Ash's increasingly reserved responses when Riahan tells him he can't make it to their dates or if he's not going to be home until late in the night. Raihan's had enough. he takes one last night write an email to Leon that basically stated if he doesn't get his shit together and ask for help from other more qualified people then Riahan then he's going to quite on the spot.

\ Ash is just that important to Raihan and vise versa, though Ash can't really offer the same dedication since he's the Chosen One and he's most likely going to die permanently one day in combat. Ash makes it up for all the little things. like grocery shopping, doing chores-still band from the laundry room-and taking care of Riahan's pokemon's when his lover is so drained from the day.

(@interregionalgyminspections) Hello! It's nice to meet you. I hope all is well, safe, and accessible in the Indigo League currently? Everything up to code? -Breve

Hello, it is nice to meet you as well.

To answer your first question, I... hope so? I found out yesterday that nearly all of my coworkers had assumed someone else told me about the lava in the Blackthorn Gym. Including the leader of the Blackthorn Gym. Who was altogether too amused at my expense.

I'm not particularly familiar with the code in question, unfortunately. Is there a place that I can take a look at it?
