#hands you a snom

[the-pixelated-pirate]

General relationship hcs for Goro Majima and/or Guzma ?? :) could be either one or both in seperate posts, I don't mind ^^

(Also, maybe a mix of sfw & nsfw ? If possible <3)

Decided to choose Guzma for this post, be on the look out for Majima's post on my acct! (Posting at the same time)

Romantic Guzma HCs ♡

NOTES/WARNINGS: NSFW under the cut, gender neutral reader w AFAB anatomy,

REQUEST STATUS: Open!

REQUESTS LEFT: 2!

• Despite his tough guy attitude, Guzma is secretly a big ole softie. He doesn't like anyone except you seeing that side of him. He's a sucker for bear hugs, and suffocation in his chest + broken ribs can be a possibility w him

• Secret romantic at heart, but his sense of romanticism is a little different from the norm

•

• Loooves back massages. He may complain if you ask for one, but he'll do it for you ofc. Everytime you touch his back it sounds like bang-snaps

• Post game(s) he takes up gardening, Plumeria said it would help with his anger issues. She was kind of right? The flowers bring bug types to his house so he isn't complaining

• Speaking of, while Whimpod/Golisopod is his buddy, he's got a soft spot for Grubin and Cutiefly. His first experience with Snom was almost biblical

• Suffers from insomnia, lots of late nights, lots of warm milk. He'd really appreciate it if you decided to stay up with him, even if he acts otherwise <3 he wants you to get your full 8 hours

• Very rarely talks about his feelings, but when he does it's a sure fire sign that he trusts you completely. He works better as a shoulder to lean on, tbh. He isn't good with his words, but he's a good ear to vent to. He'll suggest if you wanna go out and throw rocks at old buildings or something

• Prefers sweet malasadas

• Totaaalll family man. The grunts and Plumeria are all like family to him, and he does his best to take care of them (plus you). He loves kids, always has candy in his pockets, and really just acts like the fun uncle. If a child asks he WILL throw hands with them. Wether or not he'll take it easy on them is another question

NSFW

• Speaking of kids 👀👀

• Yes he'll definitely prefer to have a few. Or if you're unable to have kids or just plain don't want them, he understands. He plain just enjoys the motions of it.

• High-key a switch, and loves to bottom. But he's sooo fucking bratty, and the biggest pillow prince

• Praise, giving or receiving. He laps that stuff up, and when he's spitting praises there's a lot of cursing thrown in there.

• He can top too... he can be a mix of a mean dom or a soft one, depends on his mood.

• He loves soft sex, though. Getting to curl up around you, hold you close, whispering about how hot you are.... ♡

• Very vocal, on top or bottom. Like I mentioned, very bratty when he's got his legs in the air, but when it's you his plowing into, he's swearing like a sailor, buttering you up talking about how much he just loooves you

• Craazy head game, loves giving.

• Pain play is a toss up, he isn't too hardcore, but he'll slap you or throw you around. Like I'll give it to my man he is a little kinky but he prefers to keep the pain out of it, for the most part.

• Lovess being on the receiving end of aftercare, not the best at giving it. He'd prefer for you to just snuggle up into his arm so you can both fall asleep. Sex really helps him conk out so he enjoys finishing every night with a little woo-hoo >:3

• Fuck it. I'm throwing away my morals. He's packing. I know it. Big dick energy. You see him slouching? You know why

Would you still love me, even if I was a worm?

Please note there are 3 Pokémon classified as work pokemon and they are all bug types

Wives edition (only Cynthia, Rika, and Cyllene cause my wrist cannot handle more.) pure fluff

Cynthia

-

“Babes?”

You look up at her as you lay across her lap.

Cynthia looks down, her uncovered grey eyes locking with yours. She can’t help but smile, you look so cute in her lap, gazing at her with such love yet curiosity.

“Yes, dear?”

“Would you still love me if I was a worm?”

Her brain stops.

She blinks once, twice, before rapidly doing so. You look at her so earnestly, like you want a genuine answer….but-

“What kind of worm would you be? It would I entirely depend as Snoms, Caterpies, and wurmples are all wildly different. And if you want to be technical burmies as well, since they are the bag worm Pokémon-“

“Cynthia.”

“Oh, yes?”

“Would you love me if I was a worm?”

“Dear, that entirely depends on which worm though!”

You watch as she rambles, listing off the logistics, and what each worm needs and how well it would do in certain environments.

She probably would, but you’ll never get an answer as her mind plays all sorts of scenarios.

-

-

Rika

-

She loves it when you spent time with her at work, she’s usually alone so no one is around to tell you or her off for this, and she uses every chance she can to love on you. But she notices you have something on your mind.

She hums, moving you from her lap to on top of her desk.

“Got something on your mind, doll?”

“Would you still love me if I was a worm?”

Oh you’re too cute for her heart to handle! You look so meek, so nervous, so adorable, fuck she loves you.

“Oh sweetie.” Rika places a kiss to the tip of your nose.

“I’d buy you the best fruits for your little work self to feed on, let you ride around on my shoulder just so I can still love on my buggy baby.”

Her smile grows as you giggle, covering your mouth while you do so, but she continues.

“Get you a nice big enclosure covered in pretty flowers, and with a nice branch for you to get cozy on. And of course a lot of the most how quality dirt I can get ya.”

“All for me?”

“All for you, no matter what you’re my sunshine.”

And she will be damned if anything happens to you.

-

-

Cyllene

-

You knew what the answer would be, at least, you thought you did. After getting injured and being sidelined until you’re fully healed, you’ve been bothering your betrothed a lot more now that you can’t leave the village.

And she’s the only one constantly around for you to lovingly bother.

You sat in her office, Abra dozing in your lap from all your comforting pets. The silence being filled with Cyllene’s pen moving across paper.

Your silence has her concerned, usually you’re more chatty or at least much closer to her, you never sit to the side like this.

“Cyllene?”

She glances over to you before looking back at her paperwork.

“Yes, dear?”

“Would you still love me if I was a worm?”

The office falls still and quiet.

Her pen to the side and she looks deep in conflicted thought.

You thought you’d get an out right ‘no’ but you never thought you’d make her spiral.

You can see her arguing with herself in her head, unsure of what to even say. On one hand she loves you dearly, you mean so much to her, on the other hand….she loathes bugs, she can’t even imagine being in the same room as a wurmple!

But the bug would be you…

But….

“Cyllene, please breathe!”

She’s snapped from her thoughts as you gently shake her, your arm around her back and your free hand on her forearm.

She takes a few deep breathes to calm herself, but you can’t escape her questioning.

“Why ask such a thing? You know I love you, correct?”

“I do, I just…thought it would be a silly thing to ask, maybe joke about it?”

You nervously laugh, feeling her steen gaze staying locked onto you.

“You truly are something else.” She sighs.

But you perk right up “But that’s why you love me!”

You’re right, but damn.

SNOM Illustrated by: N-DESIGN Inc.

When I first saw this image, I thought I might be looking at a photograph! No, I don't think Snom is real, as great as that would be, but I had wondered if someone took a little Snom toy and put it out on a branch in a snowy setting! It's that absolutely gorgeous ice that lead to that assumption, and the beautiful way the light passes through it! Even that icy casing on the Snom catches it so wonderfully.

I don't think Pokemon need to look realistic, but I love how much this looks like something you could experience if you did live in a Pokemon world. You're just walking through a snowy forest, look up at a branch, and a tiny little Snom is hanging there, living its own life. Look closely at the branch and I think those tiny little strands are meant to be how it's hanging there. The specific Pokedex entry they picked for the card doesn't mention it, but in Sword and Shield we are literally told it uses threads to hang from branches so it can disguise as an icicle while it sleeps! I guess I shouldn't be so surprised they put in that extra attention to detail! Already there are tiny touches on the snow, and those icicles aren't just perfect triangular points.

I do recognize this is a 3D render, they probably had some pretty helpful tools to pull off that gorgeous lighting and maybe even place the snow, but this isn't some automated image! There are deliberate touches and choices apparent here, a human hand deciding how the ice catches the light, how the snow rests on that branch, how to position the out-of-focus trees in the back there! That's why I'm a little sad we only get the company listed instead of the particular person who worked on this. Or people! I think it's very cute the Snom has a simple beady black eye and smooth body with all that detail elsewhere. It's not a complicated grub, and it seems maybe it's sunrise and it's just waking up for just another day of snow munching.

What a lovely winter picture.

WHAT DO WITH BABY MAYBE SNOM AND BABY MAYBE CUTIEFLY. DOFIU HAS BEEN WATCHING OVER THE EGGS(?) DURING THE HOTTER PARTS OF THE DAY. SCREAMING.

-MAHY

( @pretty-pokesweet-of-you )

LOVE AND CHERISH THE BABIES.

In all seriousness, congrats Mahy!! always cool but SUCH a surprise to find a secret baby cache from a mon. Sounds like he's doing a great job of keeping them cool- make sure he's got lots of water and berries available to him. Especially aspear and pecha berries- they're high in nutrient groups frosmoth need lots of!

step one (once they hatch at about 2wks from laying, love exposure etc dependent...) will be GETTING THEM TO A JOY TO BE CHECKED OUT. Hatching can be tough! Don't assume the lil ones are all ok at eyeballing it, they might have all sorts going on inside that a Joy will know how to check for in person

Then you can think about housing! you can make a 'nursery' for baby ice types like snom pretty easily by getting a fridge shelf attachment available at most Pokemarts. you MIGHT have to ask at the counter most ice types are outdoors this time of year so they could've put them away for the season. they look kinda like mini hammocks but boxy?? they're relatively escape proof and you can put in the food and water supplements in special slots. Think 'Snorunt's Supplies' is the brand name my old lab used for them but whatever you get, definitely wanna get the XXS or XXS version. The fridge needs to be kept below 3C at all times. Maybe better to call it a freezer lol.

Food wise... Hand (wing?) Frozen leaves from the wild that your Dofiu has approved are probably best for the Snomlings. They're plant and ice eaters mostly so as long as they get a steady diet of freezing cold leafy matter they'll hit all the milestones no problem. if its too warm they can get sick and trust me you don't wanna be cleaning snom silk off your clothes 😭

for Cutiefly (Dofiu you lucky papa) it's a LIL different. They're pretty simple- just a mesh box will keep them in, and they like room temp loads... uh. go for VERY fine mesh though. they will be so freaking tiny!! the eggs make you think they'll be so big but THEY HATCH OUT SO ITTY BITTY

For food you'll want to mix up a combination of (infant) Zubat Smoothie Mix and Flabebe Honey at 30:70 and that'll do it from the top of my head. They'll take it from a spoon or a dropper pretty easily. Biggest worry is them trying to escape on ur clothes and getting blown away for the first while

ALWAYS get a Joy's opinion and find books and other people in your area to help with lil ones!! but these are my bugxpert ramblings for ya 😁

[beesbeesdragons]

I have been BRAINROTTING over an FMA/Pokemon crossover and I need to share it so!!!

this is gonna be a 'characters exist in the context of another universe' crossover, btw so prepare for that!!!! mostly gonna use Kanto-Alola, bc im not familiar really with Galar and Paldea (except for SNOM and Wooloo)

anyway!

regional starters don't reeeeeally matter in this version, if there's a lack of starters in one region, they'll get a starter from another region

any characters who are State Alchemists are now Gym Leaders! Roy is a fire-type, Armstrong is fighting-type, etc. Olivier is a member of the Elite Four because she's just That Good.

Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric grow up in Pallet Town, alongside Winry Rockbell, whose parents are doctors who sometimes help out Professor Oak with stuff.

Trisha Elric and Delia Ketchum are besties, so Ed and Al also grow up with Ash, who is ~2 years older (eg. when Ash goes to Hoenn, Ed is just starting his journey and drags Al along

when Ed and Al are about 4/5, Trisha gets sick when there's an outbreak of disease in the area. She died from this, but Ed and Al move in with the Rockbells (as Delia can't financially support three young children on a single salary).

Hohenheim, btw, is off doing something vaguely justice-y, maybe he's in deep cover in Team Rocket? Idk, but he's not in the picture. Ed and Al know that he's 'busy with work', but can't know what that is. He does his best to keep in contact, but Van Honhenheim is legally dead so there's that issue.

Father is Hohenheim's twin, and is all around a terrible guy. He leads a crime syndicate in one of the regions (don't ask where, maybe Kalos?) that is NOT the main evil team, and the Homunculi are his enforcers.

The homunculi all specialise in a different type (eg. Envy is a bug specialist, Pride is a ghost specialist, Sloth is a fighting specialist, etc). They're annoying as fuck to deal with, and fight by their own rules. If you're in a battle with them, you are aiming to kill, because they won't hesitate to kill you if you lose.

anyway, Winry's parents are killed during an attack by Team Rocket while they were travelling, but are fairly well-known by the Gym Leaders and Elite Four of various regions for,,,,reasons (I.e. they helped out one of the Champions in a tight spot and earned the respect of most).

Just before they get killed, however, Ash leaves on his journey. Ed does NOT particularly like Pikachu, and it's...a situation. But Ed can't WAIT to go on his journey!!!

then, of course, they're vibing and just living life when something comes round to kick their asses.

Its team rocket.

listen, these two kids are at least vaguely related to Professor Elric (aka Hohenheim, he helped out Professor Oak until he found Stuff and went into deep cover to keep the family safe) so surely they know something about his research, right? right???

they, uh, they don't. But the attack happens one night when they're in their dad's study reading about something. a lone member of team rocket is sent to 'retrieve them', and ends up fucking up so much that goddamn ARCEUS gets involved

basically, Ed and Al were just vibing when this fucker, instead of doing the sensible thing and knocking them out and then just nabbing them, decides to bring out a fuckin scyther who...can't grab stuff. shit happens, Ed loses a leg in the initial scuffle but when he's trying to get to Al, loses his arm, and Al...comes off better, but not much. He's lose a few fingers (ring and pinky on his right hand) and a chunk of his shoulder, and also got his larynx badly damaged, but he's...not in immediate danger.

A few weeks pass, and a Gym Leader named Roy comes around to investigate as a favour to one of the Officers Jenny. He's there with his best friend/sort-of girlfriend (Ed doesn't really know, it's definitely something), and he's awkward and angry.

Roy keeps it quiet, it's all under wraps, but when he was younger, before he became a Gym Leader, he was a member of Team Rocket. He...thought they were good, but he was wrong. He left soon after that and dragged his childhood friend, Riza, out with him. Since then, he's become the Elite Four and International Police's investigator and attack dog, while training to inherit the Cinnabar Island Gym.

[gotta-pet-em-all]

A video is attached. Would you like to watch it?

[The video is taken from the same angle as before, and the narration begins almost immediately.

“Okay, so! Take two of the snomurice video. First step here is the rice cooker: I put in a cup of rice and then a cup and a half water. I’m using a Johtohan brand, so the ratios are a little different. Next up, I’m making mine with tofu. It’s extra firm and already pressed, so I’m going to take about an ounce of it and slice it up before tossing it in the pan with olive oil. If you don’t use ounces, then kindly get fucked because it takes too much damn space in my brain just to memorize one recipe and I’m not happy about doing this process twice.”

Her hands move, carefully slicing the tofu into wedges before scraping them into the pan and adding olive oil. It’s clear that this is taking a lot of concentration. 

“You can do whatever conversions you need, that’s too much math for me. Or use meat if you like. Anyways, I also like to fry up some mushrooms, but those go separately. I just grab a handful of those, and I get them pre sliced. I know, I know, joy in the act of creation, but there is also joy in my hands not cramping the fuck up. I swear I’m normally less pissy than this and I really do want to make a cooking video to share, I’m just frustrated and pissed that the last one wasn’t recorded.”

There’s more swearing and a metallic clatter before she returns with a rice cooker and a wide bamboo paddle. 

“Okay, so now it’s time to start mixing. Put the sautéed tofu and mushrooms into a bowl, then scoop the rice onto the top. Add in onion powder, the original recipe calls for an onion but that’s bullshit because the texture of those sucks and you can get the flavor in less obtrusive ways. Then, five tablespoons ketchup and one teaspoon Worscht— Worchesh— I’m not going to fucking try. You people can read the label.”

A bottle of worcestershire sauce is plunked in front of the camera.

“Okay. So now it’s time for the omelette. Everyone has their opinions on what sort of egg is best to use, but I’m just using one big one. You can use two normal sized ones if you prefer. You gotta pick out the little bits of protein on either side of the yolk to make it smoother, then you kinda whisk it up. Shiiiiit fuck I should have done this in a bowl or something, it wants to cook and I’m not done mixing— STOP COOKING YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER. Fuck. Anyways, lid on, cook down for a bit. Don’t let your guard down and lean on the stove, that’s how you get a horrendous burn that makes you dissociate for days. Which is kind of embarrassing. It scarred and I kinda prefer having badass scars. What the fuck is this, huh? It’s shaped like you could identify the stove just by looking at my skin. Anyways, now you scoop some of the mixed up filling into the middle and shape it like a football— not a Galarian one, you clods, I’m Unovan. Press the egg around it, and then flip it onto a plate. Poke at it until you get the spikes of the snom, and then add some more filling onto one end and shape it with the paddle so it makes the head, with little mushroom eyes. Last, drizzle more ketchup on it. Congratufuckinglations, snomurice. This took far too long and I’m still pissy about getting a stove scar. Good fucking night, I’m going to bed.

The video ends.]

Chapter 4) This Son of a Boltund

PREVIOUSLY

"As punishment for today's infractions, Yuu, Ace, and Grim are all hereby ordered to wash a hundred windows!" Crowley declared with a glare, "you will all meet in the cafeteria after your classes. Are we clear?" "Yes sir."

NOW. . .

Yuu, Grim, and Agent stood in the cafeteria waiting for Ace to arrive so they could get this punishment over with. "I'm already exhausted from a full day of cleanin'. I can't believe we still gotta wash a hundred windows!" Grim complained while laying on of of the tables. "Well, it is yours and Ace's fault that we're in this mess, so suck it up and try to learn from the experience." They said to him while searching through their back before their eyes widened, "it is in here!" They yelled taking out a box that Agent recognized.

"Mmmm, what's bugging me is that Ace ain't even here yet!" His attention was then grabbed by the object in the trainer's hand. "What is that?" He asked standing up to get a better look at the box. "It's my pokebox, it lets me switch out what Pokémon are on my team, usually I can access it through my rotom phone but I guess it got disconnected when we were brought into this world." They said with a grin, "Agent you wanna see Cinder?" They asked teasingly to their starter. The Inteleon nodded "Teleon!"

Yuu grins and takes out Snom's pokeball from their belt as they set the box onto the table allowing the little stand to come out. They placed Snom's pokeball on the stand and took out their Rotom Phone to scroll through their boxes before choosing Cinder. The box sucked Snom's pokeball inside and released Cinder's, Yuu grins putting the box back in their bag, "Alright Cinder, come on out!" They said throwing the ball into the air, a bipedal, white, rabbit-looking pokemon materialized from the white light. "Cinderace!" It yelled with a smile.

"Cinder, welcome back girl!" Yuu said giving their Cinderace a hug which she happily returned before looking around and spotting her mate "race!" She yelled letting go of her trainer before hugging Agent.

Yuu let the two Pokemon catch up to eachother and looked around realizing that Ace still wasn't there yet. "Alright, where is that dumb ginger? It's been at least half an hour since their classes released." They said annoyed, Grim nodded in agreement "he's super late! I bet he up and bailed on us!" Yuu sighed, "it's possible," they mumbled pinching the bridge of their nose before exhaling. "Let's go look for him Grim."

"Ain't no way am I doin' his punishment!" Grim agreed "I don't care if we gotta drag him kickin' and screamin', he's washin' those windows!" He yelled before the two of them went off, Agent and Cinder following behind them. When they got to Ace's classroom Grim ran in yelling, "hey Ace! get over here! Try to hide from me, will ya!" Only to pause seeing the room empty aside from a painting. "Huh...Maybe there's really no one here?" He asked looking behind the desks.

"Oh, I wouldn't say that. I'm here." The painting spoke up causing Grim to freak out, "bwaaah! That painting just talked!" He said looking to Yuu to make sure he wasn't crazy. Yuu nods "yes, and? Is a talking painting really such an oddity at this school? The lady in the portrait on the that wall talks too. As does the gentleman in the portrait on this one. As long as a painting has a mouth, why shouldn't it be able it talk! Is that really so strange?" The painting asked, Yuu shook their head, "compared to other things I've seen in my world, it's not odd." They mumbled "do you know where a student named Ace Trappola is?"

"Ah, I know the one. A new student I believe? Today was his first day at school. I think he went back to his dorm a while ago." The painting explained making Yuu scowl, "that son of a Boltund." They said beffore thanking the painting and leaving to the dorms with Grim and their pokemon. "Agent, Cinder, go make sure he doesn't get out of this." Yuu commanded their pokemon, the two nodded and ran ahead to the Hall of Mirrors.

When the two pokemon arrived Ace was complaining, "yeah right, like I'm gonna wash a hundred windows. I'm just gonna go back and—" he was hit on the back of  his head with a rock kicked by Cinder. "Cinderace!" She yelled pointing at him angrily. "Great job girl," Yuu said after catching up with Grim in toe. "Crap they saw me!" Ace said before Growled, "stop right there pal! No fair gettin' a head start! Wait!" He yelled, "who in their right mind would ever wait?! See ya!" Ace yelled as he ran towards Heartslabyul's mirror.

"No way are you gettin' out of this! You think I wanna wash windows?! Yuu get your pokemon to do something!" Grim yelled at the trainer, all this alerted a blue haired boy standing by the Heartslabyul mirror "hm?" He asked turning to see Ace running at him, "outta my way!" He yelled, "hey what gives?!" The boy yelled in response. "Please stop him, he's shirking his cleaning responsibilities!" Yuu yelled for help, the boy looked shocked.

"What? That's not right! But how do I stop him? Like, freeze his legs? Or bind them with a rope? Or maybe I could. . .hmm. . .no. . ." He mumbled before Grim yelled, "I don't care how! Just do something! Anything!" "Anything?! Anything, huh. . . All right! Here goes anything! I summon thee. . . Something heavy!" He yelled pointing his magic pen at Ace. A cauldron appeared out of thin air and fell right on top of Ace.

Ace and the boy, who Yuu now knew as Deuce began to argue with one another causing them to become distracted before Agent noticed something, "Inteleon." He said to his trainer making their eyes widen, "he ran away?!" They yelled and left the mirror hall to see Grim running down Main Street "haha I'll let you two handle the rest! Bye bye!" He yelled as he ran.

"You caught me so you could run away yourself?!" Ace yelled at the cat, "hey you there! Uh...Juice?" "My name isn't "Juice." It's Deuce! With a D!" Deuce replylied with a glare, "this is partially your responsibility you know! So help me catch that little furball!" "How is this my responsibility?!" "Grim's useless janitor friend can't use magic, that means this is up to you and me!" And with that the two boys began to chase after the fire cat.

Any advice for keeping a Snom? Especially when it gets hot out, since I know that’s stressful for em. I wanna make sure little Jellybean’s a comfy lil Snom.

jellybean..........adorable

a piece of never-melt ice is a great item to have on hand if you have an ice type! it can help on warm days. but it's not a cure-all; anything above 26°C and you should keep a snom inside.

when your snom is inside, i recommend keeping some cooling gel pads for it to sleep on. snom also enjoy a nice cooler full of shaved ice (they can get scratched on the edges of ice cubes as they start to melt). keep in mind that it's not unusual for a snom to hibernate in the summer, so if you see your little guy starts weaving itself into a cocoon, it's probably about to nap for a couple of months!

[arend000-blog]

can I offer you a hug in these tryin' times?

Always, though i could get snom to sit in your hands be usually loce that and they enjoy it too

[rcguish]

it's a special someone's birthday. @gruusha <3

the moment that they wake up together, the moment that he parts with grusha as they leave to begin their day at the gym is the moment that silver immediately begins his preparation work. he had, if he’d been observant enough in their day to day schedule, approximately eight to nine hours to finish all that he wanted to do as a surprise to his boyfriend before they arrived back home – and damn if redhead was anything but determined.

and so silver settles in with grusha’s beloved ninetales, retrieving his binder and paint box that he’d stashed away the day before when he arrived as a means of upholding the surprise.  

�� alright, kurama … here’s the plan. ” silver promptly drops into a squat, planting heels into the warm floor for a better and more comfortable sit-squat of sorts. places the binder down in front of the ninetales, eyes glancing up towards kurama’s face to gauge reaction intermittently. he opens it, sliding out the multiple sheets of stickers he’d managed to print from the academy’s media room. 

the papers had been cut up properly into standard paper rectangles, each sheet holding an array of different pokemon and ideas, a few multiples of each. there were cetoddles and cetitan, swablus and altaria, vulpix and ninetales both icy-hot, glaceons and flareons, snoms and frosmoths, cubchoos and beartics, sneasels and weaviles… and past that, there had been a myriad of snowflake designs, and, two longer stickers that had resembled that gorgeous strand of hair he thought best to render it. 

it looked like an articuno tail, he realized some time ago. one of the birds that had helped him once save johto. absolutely stunning.

“ ... i made these. i know for a fact that ru doesn’t take pride in any of their mobility aids, and i know for a further fact they try to hide it whenever possible — so. ” silver shifted the papers to semi-splay out in front of kurama, a curious look to his eyes as he regarded his partner’s beloved fox. there’s a glint in his eyes to match, and silver can’t help the smile that soon catches onto one end of his mouth. he sits back on his heels, crossing arms over his knees / resting hands on shoulders. “ i wanted to decorate them all. ” a pause. “ i wanted to give them a reason to not feel so ashamed whenever he looks at them … ”

a further pause … silver’s gaze slowly finds its way to kurama from the stickers he’d been staring at, as if they’d be the thing to provide the mental escape he wanted whenever expressing his softer side. but this — the ninetales regards him, almost with a knowing glint in eyes resembling rubies, and silver has half a mind to raise an eyebrow in question.

but he doesn’t. 

kind. 

that similar mental brushing… and silver now knew for certain that it had been kurama himself all those weeks ago, reaching out to him in his time of mental struggle. something settles and blooms in his chest at that, something warm and sacred. 

a smile fully takes hold, rather than the half that had flickered and disappeared. he nods, content and excited that he’d gained approval and enlisted kurama’s aid.

“ here’s where i’m gonna need your help … ” gathers up the papers and places them back into the binder sleeve inside, rising to a stand as gaze scans around the bedroom. locates wheelchair immediately, and gives a firm nod to himself as he decides that would be the starting point. 

regards kurama once more, “ i don’t know where ru keeps every single one of his aids, and i know some of his canes are probably out and away. i’m going to go work on the chair first, i wanted to get that paint job done before working on the stickers — do you think you could point out where they might all be? ” he’s met with a slow blink, but there had been wisdom and knowledge of a century or more behind it all ; and if silver really let himself believe in the hope that flickered in his chest, he thought he might’ve seen some sort of fondness. 

he tries not to dwell on it too much. ( not now. later. ) 

“ i don’t mind grabbing them, of course, but i figured you might be able to teach me all of his favorite hiding spots. ” mirth is ever-present his eyes, like a myriad of ever-shifting emotions one after the next in the span of minutes. “ ‘got a lot of work to do. let’s do it. ” 

———

and just as silver wheels the finished chair into its spot next to the canes along the wall, he grabs his phone from out of his left pocket and checks the time ; grusha likely would be arriving back home any minute now, which means he had planned timing out almost perfectly. 

he hadn’t needed to disassemble the backing of the wheelchair to paint it, didn’t even want to attempt such a thing without asking them first, thus sticking to a rather semi-abstracted / almost impressionist style of a snowy mountain. the seat would stay the same, blank… but atleast the backing on both sides and the metal frame would carry on the view he knew his boyfriend enjoyed the most. a snowscape, their home and their calling, paired with some stickers of their beloved pokemon. 

stepping back, silver takes in his work …

… and briefly, perhaps a beat longer than brief, wonders if this is an adequate enough gift for them. if this would be something they even enjoyed, or wanted, if the possibility of silver ruining the aids existed — 

he hears movement behind him, kurama sitting up almost expectantly as the front door opens and closes. ( beats later does a small rush of cold wind follow, and silver shivers as it blows through him. ) 

“ welcome home! i’m in the living room. ” a call to the front genkan and the person he loved, and after one more nervous look tossed at the aids lined up next to each other, silver slides wringing hands into his pockets and steps into the hallway to properly see them. 

“ i’ve got a surprise for you … hope it’s alright that i — well, did what i did. ” fingers dig into the inseams of his gloves in a nervous sort of fidgeting … but the anxiety doesn’t swallow and consume him whole.

curious gaze from grusha as they continue to undress from the day’s outer wear, hanging up parka and scarf and switching from boots to slippers — before silver can hardly contain the excitement that washed over him upon seeing his home return. crossing that distance, nervousness gives way to joy as a smile settles on his face and he wraps his arms around their waist to pull them into a hug. 

“ happy birthday, ru. ”

Warning for your beloved pokemon's safety! I have seen so many videos recently of what people have been feeding their sweet little pokemon and I think I need to let you guys know about specific pokemon's dietary restrictions! I will not be able to cover every type of pokemon, for I only know the diets of my very own pokemon, I do know a bit extra about some others, but that's from learning from those who have those pokemon. There is feed at every store that you can buy for specific types if that's what you want. Remember! I am not in any way an expert. I'm just a bit experienced. Ghost types! Now while they can eat almost anything (I'm looking at you Gengar!) There is some things that they do not like. Every pokemon has different tastes, so it's best you try around and figure out what works for your pokemon's taste. Remember! Some pokemon, like Yamask and Phantump, were humans one time just like you are. Try to keep that in mind next time you serve them regular feed in a bowl. Bug types! While you can just feed them bug feed just like everyone else, it is suggested you take for account their secondary type (if they have one), while pure bug types have normal feed, something like a Joltik or a Charjabug would need something with electricity in it. I suggest a battery for those. Something like a Snom on the other hand, needs ice. Whether it's flavored or not, that's up to you. Ground/Rock types! While they mostly have a relatively average diet, some get their nutrition from things like rock or gravel. While pokemon like Drilbur can eat things like a nice ham and cheese on rye, pokemon like Nacli need minerals to grow big and strong. While I don't know much on the diet of other types, I can give a bit of insight on the pokemon I have that are not Ghost, Bug, Ground, or Rock. Alcremie/Milkery need whipped cream or milk respectively. An Eevee's diet can change drastically after evolution, and it's important to keep that in mind if you plan to evolve it or if it wants to evolve on it's own. That's all that I know (currently) on these types, I do plan on researching more into it, and once Im done with my mound of schoolwork I will be getting around to it, but until then, don't do stupid shit. Hasta la vistar!

Give me some kind of possession to make Me stronger

Rn I'm only a small snom and I'm trying to level up to level 2!

[pokemoncaretips]

Hello I have a friend who has recently gotten a Snom that he calls Martini, is there any tips in case I have to Poke sit Martini?

General notes: The snom. An excellent and adorable bug type with a stunning evolution. Though ice types are often finnicky, the snom is fairly easy care.

General care: Being ice types, snom like it cold. In fact, snow and ice make up the vast majority of its diet. Snow cone machines are considered standard equipment when owning snom. Ideally, the ice should be as pure as possible.

The crystalline spikes on its back are in fact, ice crystals, which serve as a useful indicator of health. If the spikes are long and broad, the snom is thriving. If they're short and shedding condensation, the snom needs help.

If it's a hot day and your snom is in distress, there is a simple, if somewhat unorthodox solution.

The fridge.

Insect pokemon tend to have slow metabolisms and require less oxygen. Setting aside a compartment in the freezer (or even sourcing a small one just for the snom) can be a lifesaver in heat waves. Around every half hour, open the freezer door to refresh the air. A distressed snom will attempt to aestivate (the opposite of hibernate) when its too hot, and will seek a dark cold place anyway.

They have a strong tendency towards gluttony, and will eat their own weight in frozen berries if you aren't careful.

Frosmoth are hardier in terms of what temperatures they can handle. A beautiful pokemon that requires a lot of trust to evolve, frosmoth often shine in contests.

Literally.

Their freezing, sparkling wing scales are easily shed, and though they grown back, they can cause issues. Beautiful but devastatingly cold, they're murder on delicate houseplants. Though they do warm up once shed, you'll find yourself doing a lot of dusting.

In the wild they prefer clean meltwater to drink, but will happily take distilled water from the fridge.

Snom and frosmoth are both strict herbivores, and eat mostly frozen berries and sturdy mountain plants. They do just fine on herbivore pellets.

Though ice types are often tough to care for, being fairly delicate, unless you live somewhere VERY hot, they're comparatively easy pokemon to keep. Care rating: Green

Training: Nothing much of note needs to be added here. Both forms tend to be friendly and pretty on the ball when it comes to training. Training rating: Green

Safety: These pokemon often reach dangerously low temperatures, and prolonged handling can lead to frostbite. I've also heard of snom trainers who've handled their pokemon with wet hands and become frozen to their pokemon, requiring defrosting, which led to distress for both parties. Ideally you should handle them with good quality gloves.

Frosmoth scales can be painfully cold on bare skin if it sheds them near you, and their presence lowers the temperature markedly. If you have health issues exacerbated by cold temperatures, this is a line to avoid.

Otherwise, they lack claws, fangs or venom, but do still need care. Frostbite is no joke. Safety rating: Orange

Overall ranking. A sweet, charming pokemon and a good start for those who love ice types, or a way for bug type keepers to branch out. Snom are just lovely.

Vessels and their Pokémon

Pairings: poly!Vessels

TW: none?

Notes: I’m sorry but I had to combine my hyperfixations I don’t know if there’s an overlap between Pokémon and Sleep Token Fans but even if you aren’t a fan maybe it’ll be fun to read :)

II: Water and Bug

- His first Pokémon was a scatterbug he befriended that lived in the garden of his childhood home (it has now evolved into a Spewpa and is very loyal to him)

- He has a joltik that he caught when he checked why their electricity kept flicking on and off. It had infested their house searching for a source of power and it definitely tried to fight him at first. Now III‘s electro Pokémon help nurturing it.

- Adopted a snom at some point and definitely keeps a tree like structure in his room so it can sleep there (they wrap up like an icicle when they do)

- Recently caught a Mudkip on a little trip they made to a swamp and instantly fell in love with it. The others definitely think it looks like him. He also used it as an excuse to finally add a little pond to their garden.

- I also feel like he has a seviper?? Also not that fitting with his main types but the vibes! (Bare with me for a second here) Sevipers often wrap around their prey and are also known to be very observant and clever so what if it helps II when he gets overwhelmed? Like a snake-shaped weighted blanket, it’ll pick up on his usual cues and interfere in time before it gets worse! (Vessel definitely had a little heart attack the first time he walked in on that)

- Skiddo! Come on doesn’t it look like the cutest little guy? Just imagine them cuddling together in the sun or how it helps with moving II‘s drumkit around. I also feel like it’s like a therapy dog for all of the vessels because it (supposedly) can read human feelings with its horns.

III: fairy and electric

- He definitely has an Azurill (it was his first Pokémon and he carries it around on his shoulder). The both of them can often be seen bouncing their energy off together, especially since he taught it skipping.

- Dedenne, I truly believe that it came to be his just like Joltik did for II, their house must have especially yummy electricity with Pokémon not once but twice intruding to feed off of it. III definitely carries it around in one of those cat hoodies, you know the ones that have a pouch at the front?

- Also has a cutiefly, it used to live close to their home. One evening III was out by himself, basking in the last rays of the sun. He had been lazily stretched out in the grass watching the sky as it turned from light blue to purple as he noticed it flying around his head. It wouldn’t leave him alone even when he went inside so he decided to ask Vessel for help. He couldn’t stop grinning as he spoke. „My Love, Cutiefly flutter above the heads of people who’s auras resemble those of flowers.“

- Also befriended a Shinx that kept following him around on his walks because it got isolated from its pack, by now it has evolved into a Luxio. With its tail it can generate electricity which it will gladly do to help out Dedenne and II‘s Joltik.

- He has a dreepy, which is a dragon/ghost type so no one understands how it came to fit into his team but it happened. (The other Vessel’s refer to him as the „Disney princess of Pokémon’s“ the little creatures just love him). It loves playing with Azurill and the water Pokémon of the others.

- He has a Sylveon which he can be seen walking around with when he’s in public. It uses it feelers to hold hands with its trainers which gives them the ability to sense their feelings, the vessels definitely use this to tell if any of them are uncomfortable or anxious in a public setting. Just imagine III walking next to it holding its feeler/ribbons?? that’s so cute. They can also emit peaceful auras which have definitely resolved some arguments and/or avoided some panic attacks before.

IV: fire and steel

- His first Pokémon was a Growlithe he caught it with the help of his dad when they were on a hike (now evolved to an Arcanine and they’re inseparable it will sleep on his floor or sometimes even try to fit into his bed with him)

- Shortly after he got his first Pokémon he rescued a Cyndaquil someone abandoned in the middle of the woods, gaining its trust wasn’t an easy task especially because they tend to be easily frightened but by now it trusts him. Its very cheerful and playful with the other Pokémon and can often be found curled up on IV‘s lap.

- He had an Aron which by now has evolved into a Lairon. They are normally highly aggressive but as long as IV manages its diet well (iron and spring water) it’s rather peaceful and gets along with the others Pokémon. Sometimes it lets the smaller Pokèmon ride on its back.

- Has a corviknight and it’s best friend is Vessel’s Noibat. They are known to be incredibly smart and strong and it’ll often help II with transporting gardening supplies or helps out with groceries. Due to its size IV could easily ride on it (they are used for transportation) but so far he has always chickened out.

- Excadrill do I need to say more?? I don’t think so! It’s very him coded and also helps II with his garden!

- Houndour!! They are very affectionate Pokémon and it definitely sees the Vessels as it’s pack, which means it gets very protective of them and is incredibly loyal to all of them. IV and the others often take it on long walks in the woods and you can’t tell me that IV and III don’t play fight with it all the time.

- Most of his Pokémon are too large to fit into his room together so during warm summer nights he’ll sleep under the stars with all of them curled around him. (Or during winter they’ll cuddle up on the floor in the living room)

Vessel: flying and ghost

- First Pokémon was a misdreavus he met on one of his nightly walks through the forest. By now it has evolved into a Mismagius and they can often be found wandering around in the middle of the night together.

- He has a Froslass, none of the others truly understand how exactly that happened, given that those are usually not the biggest fans of humans and are known to freeze them. It tried luring Vessel into a trap as they do with handsome men (I didn’t make this up I swear it’s true!) but quickly got way too fond of him and now it’s very protective of him. III definitely uses this as the argument to prove that Vessel is in fact handsome, whenever he feels insecure.

- Mantyke, that’s it you know what’s up. (He met it during one of his early morning swims which then lasted until early afternoon. The other Vessels were already looking for him and found him and Mantyke playing in the water together, since then they've been inseperable)

- Has a noibat he absolutely adores and picks the freshest fruit for (they’re picky eaters) and he borrows II‘s ear defenders whenever he’s around it for longer times because the echolocation they use can be harmful.

- Mimikyu what can I say? It hides its true form beneath a mask and tries to represent something that others will love and want to be friends with… it just works a bit too well with Vessel doesn’t it? (He’s very fond of it and I guarantee you that he treats it with extra care) It will often sit next to him when he’s playing piano and nod along.

That's it!! Thank you for reading :) picture and lore info credit go to: https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Wiki

top 5 worms? top 5 unjust depths Moments? top 5 izzy noises? top 5 weapons you would use?

long ass post. yeesh!

top five worms:

1) snom, the most beautiful and wonderful 'worm pokemon'.

2) izzy is practically some manner of worm, when it comes down to it.

3) sandworms sweep. shai hulud are sick as fuck.

4) the huge worms that are like an environmental obstacle in hollow knight are pretty cool. i guess maybe they're just normal sized worms, since hollow knight is so bug-sized? huh.

5) koyomi araragi has no bones in his body. one of the most wormy thangs.

top five unjust depths moments:

1) it's majida's quest in the finale of surviving an evil time. the beautiful intersecting of violence and love and this community that keeps driving her further and reinforcing what she needs to do, culminating in decking the shit out of radu. it's so fucking killer.

2) murati, stuck in her diver after its power died and looking out of a small reinforced glass port in it with a broken arm and drifting in and out of consciousness as she's getting the vaguest psychic flashes. it's a real powerful image. stuck with me a lot.

3) 'the only heterosexual kiss in unjust depths'. i love the way hunter iii's bites are described as really just ruining his flesh and self and adelheid just keeps sneaking quick peeks. it's so fun. dude had it coming. and i think its the first Real body horror bit in the story. so it was of course deeply enrapturing.

4) homa and kitty's final moments. i think it's incredible. really incredible sadness and woe and a moment for homa to actually stop and process the hell she's been through as she has to deny a dying woman any last rites. it's so good. homa can speak to the dead...

5) gertrude lichtenberg exhibiting 'gertrudeswag' in norn's solitary confinement cell in sinners under the firmament. it's so good. beautiful sign of the gertrude swag to come. just losing her mind and declaring hell on earth for everyone forever because of a breakup.

top five izzy noises:

1) thine coquettish lilt

2) your soft little 'waw' you say after certain things i say and express to you.

3) the noise when you [] inside an izzy

4) you have this like, tone, that builds as you know you're going to start doing a bit that's got this funny unmistakable confidence to it that's so charming. like your voice gets heavier with the weight of the Joke.

5) you have a Conceited Chuckle that is charming. when you're playing up your confidence a bit. it's so cute! adorable, even.

top five weapons you would use:

1) spear. history bears this one out as the best weapon. it rules. it's got range. it pierces. can be planted in the ground for increased stability. what other weapon went 1v1 against jesus and won? it's got cred.

2) zweihander. it's fucking huge i just want to swing it around in a grocery store and knock a bunch of shit off the shelves and mulch a watermelon.

3) fire axe. honestly any two-handed one-sided axe. i'm familiar with them and they're comfortable and extremely useful when chopping firewood and various other things.

4) knives are aesthetically very intimate and personal in a lovely way. beautiful tool to perform harm on others.

5) i've grown more fond of kukris recently. lovely shape they seem so neat and useful for carving things and such. no personal experience so shrug. but i would love get some.
