safari ball and gs ball for whomever you’d like!! ~zale

Hi @garchompp!! Thank you for these!!~

I think I'll go with my selfship with Luna if that’s alright, since then I know I can give a pretty good answer for GS Ball (my first instinct was to talk about Aria there, but I did that on that other post pretty recently, so.. let’s change things up a bit!)

(question source: this post by jackship)

SAFARI BALL ; have you ever been on a fun vacation with your F/O? where did you go? how did you spend your time with each other? do you have any places on your bucket list where you’d love to go? - It’s pretty safe to say that the current goings-on in the Reborn region have made things a bit too hectic for either of us to take time away - Luna from her role as the Dark-type Gym Leader (particularly given that she’s one of the many Gym Leaders whose reserve leader isn’t ever shown, unlike Aya or Florinia for instance), and Adriana from trying to stop Team Meteor and their plans, especially since Anna specifically asked her to collect all of the Reborn League’s Gym Badges (and given what happens to the only person we’ve seen so far who directly knowingly goes against Anna’s advice.. that girl definitely knows what the best courses of action are for the people she cares about.)

However, once everything is finally sorted out (or as sorted out as it can be, anyway!), I have it planned that Adriana and Luna visit Hoenn for a while together! Mainly since Hoenn is also one of my favourite regions alongside Kalos and Sinnoh. It’s primarily as a getaway from Reborn and everything that they’ve gone through, so that they can both take some time to relax and reflect together, but Adri also takes the opportunity to participate in Contest Spectaculars with her Pumpkaboo while she’s there. I don’t have many of the finer details planned out, but their holiday will probably also include visits to places like Lavaridge for the hot springs and Mt. Pyre for the connections to Ghost-types.

I’m also thinking that we go for a shorter holiday to Galar at some point, mostly because that gives me an excuse to hang out with the many of my friends and mutuals whose self-inserts are based in that region, haha (but also I want Luna to see Ballonlea and Glimwood Tangle, because I think she’d love it there! And since other Dark-type Gym Leaders aren’t very common, but Galar has one, that could make sense for her to want to visit there, too).

GS BALL ; did you have any original concepts for your self-inserts that were scrapped? did your storyline with your F/O go somewhere else than you originally planned? what ideas have changed when creating your relationship with your F/O? - well, Adriana wasn’t particularly fleshed-out as a character to start with, since she was pretty much just “my version of the in-game protagonist” in terms of what she did in the story (hence why she originally used the same name that I used to go by). She didn’t initially have a lot of backstory because of that, until I came up with the idea of letting her be from Kalos since Generation 6 is my favourite of them all (and because I wanted her to have a Shiny Pumpkaboo as her starter/partner Pokémon, because hello they are adorable). That then led nicely into her being a Ghost-type specialist for her journey around Kalos, since in the games, Kalos is the only region without a notable Ghost-type specialist, though a lot of Ghost-type Pokémon that I like are available there. Also, Adriana’s current outfit was originally just supposed to be the outfit she uses for Contest Spectaculars, but.. I got too attached to it and I was able to make it fit her character by tying her to Laverre City (since it resembles the furisode girl Trainer class, but with the colour palette of a Shiny Pumpkaboo!), so now it’s her actual default outfit, haha

As for the storyline of the selfship.. well, it still sticks very closely to the events of the game itself, moreso than most of my other selfships I’d say, and so Adri very much still follows the path of the player character (unlike, say, Noire, who is sort of supposed to replace the in-game protagonists but to a much lesser extent so they probably also exist as characters in their own right too). So, I wouldn’t actually say that that much has changed, since the main changes to the story that deviate from the games (saving Luna from her fate in the game, for instance) are things I had written in from the start.

I think the main things that have really changed are adding in the details about how Luna’s and Adri’s Pokémon teams connect to each other, with Adriana giving Luna the Gothitelle she’s shown with at the Glass Workstation, and Luna then catching a Shiny Mismagius on the way up to the Glass Workstation which she gives to Adri there, plus general sorts of dynamics (like Luna’s Absol and Adriana’s Silvally being friendly rivals of a sort). But, other than that, I don’t think there have been many massive changes.

Thank you again for sending these in, friend!! I hope that my answers were alright and made enough sense, given that it’s so late here, haha~

love ball for Luna !!!!

Hey there, Ted!! Thank you very much for this!!~

(question source: this post by jackship)

LOVE BALL ; gush about your F/O! what’s your favourite quality about them? what’s your favourite scene that they’re in? what’s your favourite outfit they’ve ever worn? use this pass to gush about anything and everything for your lovely F/O! they love you so much! - oh crumbs here we go. Actually, this comes with actual questions rather than just being a “hey go gush” which is what I struggle with, so.. this should actually be fine, let’s see

My favourite quality of Luna’s is probably the way that she always stays true to who she wants to be, regardless of what others want from her. Though she doesn’t come across as particularly outwardly confident, for her to have such strong desire to find the life that she seeks and become the person she wants to be, instead of the person she was supposed to grow up to become if Elias had had his way with her, and to stay true to her ideals even when they are threatened - I think that takes a lot of confidence in herself to be able to do.

My favourite scene.. all of Luna’s scenes are quite sad, admittedly, but maybe the little bits before and after the Gym battle with her? That was where she said the lines that made my heart melt for her, at least - “I shall be remaining here for a time. I feel that I, like all the monsters of which children fear, shall be safer in the dark.” like- Luna it’s okay, you’re not a monster, please, I promise ;w;

And.. Luna’s only ever been shown in one outfit, so I suppose that one would have to be my favourite by virtue of being my only option. I think it definitely suits her (even if it is a bit tricky to actually tell what it looks like given that Luna doesn’t have any official art, just sprites), but I also can definitely see her in something more fancy, like- I definitely think she’d be in the gothic lolita-sort of subculture and that would reflect in her outfits when given the chance.

Thank you very much for sending in this ask, Ted! I hope that what I’ve written here was alright ^-^
