#i swear it sounds romantic but it's not

[provecfy]

This was once an idea for a one-shot but I don't know how to properly walk the line between platonic and romantic I'm going for, so I will just post the headcanon here

I think Juliana and Nemona trade a lot

But I mean like, a lot lot.

I think their definition of rivals doesn't just mean to grow alongside each other but also together. To compete as much as collaborate. Like, I don't know how to properly put it into words but the fact that they are becoming stronger with each other is as much a point as the competition and the growth themselves.

So the logical conclusion is that they trade pokemon. Not just for competitive strategy or even as a reminder of each other, but as a promise.

In trading they are saying: "train this pokemon alongside your team, so that a part of me always grows strong with you and I am always there to make you stronger".

Of course, there are certain pokemon they are too attached to trade (Koraidon, Pawmot, their starters), but eventually their teams become almost interchangable. Maybe with some team members they even forget which pokemon belonged to who originally if they don't see the original trainer ID. The other's strenght is so integral to themselves they become indistinguishable from their own identity.

There is a kind of comfort and also a kind of closeness in the way they trade that feels like giving away a part of themselves but is also as natural as breathing, because it's the one person who will always carry that part with them.

Despite the comments and reactions, somehow Season 3 convinced me further that Syd and Carmy will eventually get together. You can’t just take a lot of what’s said in the show for face value. It’s focused on the details.

sorry i keep making posts about this but i really think halsin could fix doli lin. doli lin always feels so desperately old even though he’s mostly not and he’s going to live a lot longer, and then he meets halsin who immediately calls him ‘child.�� not in an infantilizing way, not in a distancing way, but in a tone of care, something doli lin has pretty much never gotten even when he was an actual child. and then he watches halsin care for thaniel, sees halsin doing everything he can to protect a centuries-old child, and he’s like……… ah! intellectually i knew people could have cared about me like this. but i never actually saw it. so i never even expected it. my child self never got this care but maybe now—

and he can talk to halsin about loreleaf and jatatyla! he can honestly express his fears that he will end up treating these kids he loves so so so much the same way that the adults in doli lin’s life treated him, mess them up in the same way he was messed up. you’re the guardian to another boy with the forest in his eyes, he can say. how do you handle the fear of ruining him?

maybe halsin has an answer, maybe he doesn’t, even hundreds of years in. maybe it’s better if he doesn’t. maybe the best they can do is share their fears and know that they’re not alone in them. and, in the mean time, doli lin has a lot of being treated tenderly to catch up on, so when he’s not,, you know, trying to survive the tadpole and the fighting and the shapeshifters and the endless camp romances, you can usually find him curled up against halsin’s side, reading aloud while halsin whittles, or doing some other boring old man hobbies together. just………enjoying the sensation of being cared for instead of always doing the caring, or insisting that he doesn’t need care because other people need it more

20 Flirty Remarks to Build Romantic Tension Without Being Overbearing

Feeling stuck trying to give your characters a good flirty one-liner that doesn't sound cringe/overdone? Here are 20 ideas/dialogue prompts for you (that I may or may not have stolen from my own books): 

“I must warn you: you have a dangerous effect on my heart rate.” / "You have no idea what you're doing to my heart right now."

"If I said I wasn’t thinking about you, I’d be lying. And I’m a terrible liar."

"You know, I could get lost in those eyes, but I'd probably trip over my words trying to find my way back." (could also double as description/inner monologue).

“I can’t tell if you’re really charming or if I’m just easily charmed.”

“You have a knack for making me forget what I was going to say. It’s kind of impressive/infuriating.”

“I think you owe me a drink. When I saw you, I dropped mine.”

“I’ve been trying to find the perfect excuse to hang out, but I keep forgetting everything when I’m around you.”

“I bet you get away with a lot of trouble with that smile.”

“You must be a magician because every time you walk in, everyone else disappears.” (The right character could pull it off I swear)

"I’ve been trying to think of something clever to say, but all my brain can come up with is how much I want to (kiss) you."

"I saw that little glance���you’re not as sneaky as you think."

"How do you manage to make even the most mundane things sound exciting?"

"You do this cute thing with your hands when you’re nervous, you know?"

“One more word, and I might just have to kiss you.”

"Finally, there's that pretty smile of yours. I've been waiting for it all day."

"You keep staring—should I be flattered?" / "Keep looking at me like that and I might start thinking you have a crush on me."

"Do you have any idea how fun it is to watch you try to keep a straight face?"

"I’m pretty sure you could charm the socks off anyone, but I’d like to keep mine on for now."

"If laughter is the best medicine, then I’m pretty sure you’re my favorite doctor."

"Is it bad that I kind of like the way you’re trying to mess with me?"
