#i'll make one for the other two but i expect adaman to have the least engagement to get my feet wet.

what’s up gamers this is a perma starter call for adaman! liking this bad boy means you’re down for anything from this muse, specifically for starters, inbox memes, and the like so i know who to prioritize. if you are also a multi, please reply with which muses you would like me to prioritize for this psc! i’m indecisive as hell! this can also count as a pre-est relationship call. 

this is not limited to mutuals only, as i barely am mutuals only because i clean up my dash so much, however: i will cherry pick non-moots ( with preference for writers i’ve been in touch with! )!

don’t know if the shoes fits? here’s some hooks under the cut ( this is not exhaustive at all, and are to serve as some inspiration! ):

> diamond clan members, former, current, and even passing muses who tend to stay on-and-off—adaman keeps track of who calls the settlement home.

> pla protags, you are his little pogchamp.

> as head of diamond, adaman’s the face to talk to for just about anything going on beyond the crimson mirelands. pearl clan, jubilife residents, even those who make their home outside of the in-game settlements have seen this pineapple mf traveling with his eeveelutions.

> he can’t play the pvc pipe flute worth a damn, but travelers in the obsidian fieldlands have probably heard him throat singing with his team. 

> he’s all too willing to ratgrab people into his big ol’ extended family if they need somewhere to go.

> he’s also very brash and stupid and might act like a whole ass clown on a misunderstanding ( esp if your name is yuko ).

For the ask game!

“Easier Said than Done” or “On Thin Ice”

Send me a made up fic title and I'll tell you what I would write to go with it!

Easier Said Than Done

"Okay! So here's the plan. Step 1: Find God. Step 2: Usurp and take Its throne. Step 3: Make It send me back in time. Step 4: Find Ingo. Step 5: Find and defeat God again! Step 6: Make It send us home. Step 7: Party!" Elesa stared at Emmet for a very long moment. "Are you SURE that this is a good idea."

Aka I saw that one and immediately thought, you know what's easier said than done? Fighting and usurping God. Cue a montage of Emmet trying to tackle and go fisticuffs against Arceus, only to bounce off if it like a tic tac.

On Thin Ice

It's the dead of winter in Hisui and Lake Acuity has frozen over. Gaeric decides to head out over the ice (why, I haven't figured out yet), but it's thinner than he expected. Aka a story in which Gaeric almost drowns. It's fine though! Uxie (or something like that) saves him!

Alternatively... Like... It's still winter in Hisui and Party A and Party B are fighting. They're walking out over a frozen lake or river. Somehow one of them breaks through the ice and the other has to dive in and save the other. After the two get back to safety, they chill out, reconcile, and agree to not fight any more. For some reason my first instinct was for this to be Ingo and Gaeric...? It's when Ingo is still very new to the Pearl Clan and Gaeric is suspicious of him. Either of them could have fallen through the ice with the other saving them. Afterwards Gaeric chills out a bit and decides that Ingo's not too bad after all. I just think that Ingo would make for a great straight man to Gaeric and seeing them bounce off of one another would be fun. Second instinct was Melli and Ingo. Because OF COURSE Melli would pick a fight, and OF COURSE Melli would break through the ice and not be able to save himself! Of course Melli is a tsundere about it afterwards. Third instinct is Adaman and irida with Adaman breaking through the ice and Irida saving him. That's probably the best option tbh. Makes the most sense... But is also probably the least funny. >.>

But hey! Thank you for sending something in! I do greatly appreciate it!

I think that it's pretty funny. When comparing the Diamond and Pearl clans, I would not blame anyone for immediately being drawn towards the Diamond Clan and thinking them the better between the two. They're nicer, have the better outfits, I've got to admit that Dialga is cooler than Palkia, they give you all the best Ride Pokemon, are a lot more trusting of you, are definitely the more attractive clan, and when going through them point by point, area by area... Yeah, the Diamond Clan just wins out most of the time.

While Lian isn't by any means a bad character... He is a kid and Mai is just incredibly nice (and cute). Calaba's character arc of learning to trust people is certainly not a bad one and plays well into Arezu's arc of learning to depend on others but just... Arezu cuts your hair. Now that's just not a fair comparison! (Also holy shit her thighs... Those thighs... I pray to Arceus above that she's an adult... Because those thighs!) Palina has a more interesting story going on with her and the Growlithes in her care but just... Iscan is the goodest boy, alright!? Iscan's just soft! He may scare easy, but he is the very definition of bravery! It's a good contrast and makes for a good character! Admittedly, Ingo beats Melli out hands down, but that wasn't a fair fight to begin with. And Gaeric and Sabi... Ehhhh... I don't dislike either of them... Though Gaeric's distrust of me after I learned that the Pearl Clan had already adopted Ingo rubs me the wrong way, and I've always had a soft spot for Cheryl. But honestly it could go either way. And for Adaman and Irida... Both may be fashion disasters, but at least Adaman makes for an aesthetically pleasing fashion disaster! He's got drip while I look at Irida with just... All the side-eye...

Kleavor is cool and all, but Wyrdeer is just one of the best baseline Ride Pokemon you get in the game (I use it all the time to navigate Space-Time Distortions) and therefore beats it out hands down. I like Ursaluna a lot for obvious ground bias reasons... But it's not a very good Ride Pokemon (sniffing is fun and all, but alls I want is mud balls and Old Verses otherwise it's a completely ignorable mechanic, and there's really no reason to use it for land travel over Wyrdeer) and I really quite like Hisuian Lilligant's design and aesthetic. Hisuian Arcanine is cool and all... But just like... COME ON! Basculegion is just so neat, you know!? Also giving you the ability to traverse water and keeping you from just drowning for daring to touch water? Invaluable. Sneasler is cooler than Hisuian Electrode, but I swear that she's trying to kill me. She may win out in this battle, but she isn't exactly the best Ride Pokemon out there. And Braviary vs Avalugg... Braviary allows you to fly. Don't think that I need to say more than that.

What does the Pearl Clan even have going for it? Hot springs? Well, they live in an absolutely terrible climate anyway, so that's not much of a plus! When it comes to leveling the score between the two, the biggest thing that the Pearl Clan has going for it is Ingo. Which I'll admit does A LOT to even the score, but that's not a whole lot! If you were to join one, which one would you go with?

And yet, as more time passes, the Pearl Clan continues to grow on me... Because the dynamics between Pearl Clan members have SO much more potential than the members of the Diamond Clan! The Diamond Clan may mostly be young and attractive, but given that most of the members of the Pearl Clan are middle-aged... SO much more disaster family potential! There are a lot of strong personalities in the Pearl Clan that could clash in different ways. And the fact that the one teenager/young adult is left in charge? Hilarious. The more time that passes, the more I come to appreciate the Pearl Clan. I did not expect this, but here we are!
