day 17 of bat-a-day is brought to you by Noibat, the sound wave pokémon, in shiny colours

[gymleaderwally]

bugsy and ethan banner i made for socials teehee my fave guys... (full sygna suit bugsy design under the cut!)

[nosenipped]

respond to the following prompts out of character, then tag others you'd like to get to know a little bit better.

roleplayer name: lucien!

pronouns: deez / nuts. ( he / they. )

muse name(s): jackson overland frost. :3 his name is so fucking english i literally can't type this without giggling. he's got a korean name too, but im not revealing it because of plot.

preferred communication: discord or DMs. i'm still getting used to the mechanics on tumblr rn so. 😭😭 but there r some features in tumblr's DMs that kinda tick me off, so discord's the home place for communications for me. i run a shit ton of accounts on different platforms too, so if i don't reply it's bc im out of energy or im busy with work. 💔

experience: started in pokémon. got traumatized. went to animerp. also got traumatized. the cycle repeats for about 6 years.

preferred roleplay type: dependent on the day! i've always preferred writing something fluffy as opposed to angsty, ( but the lines are very thin for this muse ) only because jack's already a VERY angsty character and as a whole and i feel if i kept writing angst i'd run out of material quickly.

pet peeves / dealbreakers: forced shipping &&. self—inserts that seem too inserted, eg. forcing themselves onto my muses. ( i realize it's essentially the same thing but trust there's a difference. ) i've only ever shipped muses after messages of development and if i see potential. it's also a matter of personal comfort.

i've had past experiences where people took it too far with their muses and got personally affected by their relationship which is INSANELY unhealthy.

another one is just ship jealousy? i've personally NEVER experienced it as the receiver before, i hope i never do anyway, but we're all friends and grown—ups here im sure we could just write without any hidden agendas. i've had people close to me suffer from this before and it's incredibly sad &&. pathetic, y'all don't do that pls.

best time to write: evening or like. really early in the morning LMAOOO. i'm a night owl most of the times so if im not getting to anything in the morning or afternoon, it's mostly all churned out at night. ( but ofc that doesn't mean i'm not active during the morning or afternoon. )

are you like your muse?: to a large extent, definitely. i wouldn't go as far as to call us twins tho? even if some people do, there's just some things that we see differently.

for starters, unlike this loser, i can swim. /silly i got medals to back my claim.

i'm definitely not as dense to love as this dude is, and i'm able to differentiate platonic and romantic ties. this SUCKS so bad knowing he's also a womanizer in the last books .. i need his ass GONE.

in terms of similarities, i truly see him as something of a vessel to articulate my grief and anger as well as nostalgia through my boyo. :3 and since i've practically rewritten his ass to incorporate book and movie and mythology lore ( it gave me a MIGRAINE during my work i swear ;; the amt of effort i place into him needs to go widespread to my course. ) parts of me are also within to fill the plot holes. <3

i offer my jack frost to write with you all with my heart and soul on the line, so it really means a whole lot to me whenever people love him.

i got tagged by @lcafman ! WAAAHHH ELLIE ILYSM /p ONE OF MY POOKIES AND A GENUINELY GREAT PERSON TO GET TO KNOW. <33

＊ tagging ... @nerdynanny ， @toothcollct ， @saheira ， @seachant ， @fatedarrows ， @chieftain-of-berk ， @pcterpan ， @wishfulmuses ♡ feel free to participate if you'd like!! ( ^ω^ )

“What’re you playing?”

“!!!!”

Mikan jumps less from the sound of Junko’s voice and more from the way she spreads herself across the back of the couch, sets her arm across Mikan’s shoulders, and leans her face really close to Mikan’s.  Sure, sure, she’s peering at the Game Girl Advance in Mikan’s hands, but it’s the closeness – it shouldn’t startle her anymore, because Junko’s always touching her like this, but it still does.

So much that she nearly drops the GGA.

Junko reaches out with her free hand and stops her before she does, a smug smile on her face.  “Spooked, bunny?”

“N-n-no!”  Mikan flushes a bright red and hunches her shoulders to hide her face.  She tightens her grip on the GGA and then holds it up for Junko to see.  “Nanami-san g-g-gave me an extra copy of her…of an old P-P-Pokémon game.  She…she said I’d p-p-probably e-e-enjoy it.”

“Huh.”  Junko takes the GGA in her hands, fiddles with a few things, and then hands it back.  “You picked Bulbasaur.”

Mikan hiccups.  “Y-y-yes!  He looked cute and…and lonely, so I thought—”

“You thought right.”  Yasuke slumps onto the couch on Mikan’s other side, and she squeaks again, even though he’s got a manga volume open in his right hand and doesn’t appear to be paying any attention.

Junko sticks her tongue out at him. “Just because you picked Bulbasaur for your first starter—”

“And wiped the floor with your Squirtle.”  Yasuke glances up just long enough to meet Junko’s eyes.  “By the game’s logic, that means he’s the better of the two.”

Junko rolls her eyes.  “Also means that Mukie’s basic Charmander is better than your stupid ass Bulbasaur.”  She brushes her fingers through Mikan’s hair and offers her a near-petty smile.  “Your Bulbasaur is fine, bun.  It’s just his that’s shit.”

Yasuke glares at her.  “Ugly bitch.”

Junko leans over and kisses his forehead.  “But you love me.”

Yasuke grumbles under his breath, but he doesn’t counter her.  Instead, he leans against Mikan’s shoulder.  “Bulbasaur your favorite?”

“N-n-no,” Mikan says, setting the GGA down in her lap.  She brushes strands of her uneven, disheveled hair back out of her face.  “I-I-I mean, I don’t…I don’t know.  I haven’t...I haven’t gotten very far.”  Then she bites her lower lip, hesitating.  “B-B-But I always really…really liked Chansey?”

“Hah!”  Junko slaps Mikan’s back, just between her shoulder blades, and Mikan startles again.  (It doesn’t really hurt or anything.  She just wasn’t expecting it.)  Then she grins, huge and proud.  “Knew you’d be good at this!  Chansey’s the best.”

Yasuke’s face grows darker and more sullen, which seems like it would be hard to do – and maybe no one else would notice – but Mikan does.  He grumbles out, “I hate Chansey.”

Mikan shivers.  “I-I-I’m s-s-sorry!”

But Junko just cackles.  “Never did figure out how to get past my tank, did you?”  She kisses Mikan’s cheek and pretends to ignore how her already red cheeks grow redder.  “It’s not you.  We just used to practice competitive shit, and if you slap an Eviolite on Chansey, she’s a boss.  Perfect for stalling people out.”

“O-o-oh.”  Mikan stares down at the GGA in her lap.  “I like her because all of the…all of the Pokémon nurses have one.  If…if they were real, I-I-I’d probably…I’d probably have one.”

Junko’s grin broadens.  “Oh, you’re cute.”  Her gaze flicks over to Yasuke even as she plays with Mikan’s hair, idly braiding it and unbraiding it and braiding it again.  “Yasuke would probably have one, too, then.  He’d hate it.”

“Shut. Up.”

“Oh, I know!”  Junko jumps up.  “We should get our games and play with you!”  She shoots a look over to Yasuke.  “You still have yours, right?”

Yasuke shrugs.  “Doubt it.  You don’t really bring that shit to be a doctor.  It gets boring.”

Junko rolls her eyes.  “Everything is boring, Yasu-kun.  What’s your point?”

~

It’s a few days later.  Junko’s off for a fashion shoot, which gives Yasuke a moment of freedom to read when he isn’t working on their combined project, so it isn’t too surprising when he finds Mikan in one of the lounge areas.  She glances up, cheeks flushing a soft red, and then back to the GGA in her hands.  She hasn’t had a lot of time to play, but Chiaki’s said she could keep it, and it’s been nice to see all the new Pokémon that aren’t in the anime, creatures that she’s never seen before and that are so, so cute.

Yasuke sits next to her, an old, scuffed GGA in his hands along with a cable.  “Here,” he says, handing her one end of the cable.  “Plug this in, and find a mon you hate to trade me, and then close your eyes.”

“U-u-um.”

It takes more than a few seconds.  Mikan fiddles with the cable, trying to figure out where to plug it in, and then has to go out and catch a new Pokémon that she doesn’t want to keep.  (She wants to keep all of her Pokémon so far.  That’s why she caught them!  She doesn’t catch ones she doesn’t like.)  Then, once all of that is done, she closes her eyes, just as Yasuke requested.

Yasuke tilts Mikan’s screen toward him – his fingers brushing gently across hers – and then sets it back.  “Okay,” he says.  “Open up.”

Mikan opens her eyes, only to see a Chansey of different colors on her screen.  Instead of her healthy pink and deeper pink accents, this one looks unhealthily jaundiced, with green accents.  Her brow furrows.  “Is she…is she sick?”

“No.  Pokémon can’t get sick.”

“One of mine got a virus once—”

“That’s a game mechanic.”  Yasuke glares at her.  “That Nanami didn’t teach you anything, did she?”

Mikan shakes her head furiously.  Then she glances up at him and meets his eyes.  “B-b-but why does she look sick?  Is this…are you…are you making fun of me?”  Tears creep at the corners of her eyes.

“No, you—”  Yasuke cuts himself off and rubs his forehead with one hand.  “That,” he says, finally, “is a shiny.  An extremely rare color variant of a Pokémon.  All of them have one, but you usually only have a one in eight thousand chance of finding one.”

“A-a-and you’re giving this…to me?” Mikan barely squeaks out.  “Wh-wh-why?”

Yasuke shrugs.  “Because I thought you’d like it.  And you’re kind of a shiny person.”  He slumps back, head resting on the back of the couch, and stares at the ceiling.   “I started breeding a bunch of them for Junko.  Thought she’d like having a shiny Chansey on her competitive team.  But you have to have perfect stats for that sort of thing, so breeding a shiny like that is fucking hard.  She got bored before I got one.”  He glances over and taps Mikan’s GGA screen.  “In fact, that’s the only shiny Chansey I ever bred.”

“You bred—”

“Waste of my free time,” Yasuke mutters under his breath.  Then he meets Mikan’s eyes.  “Until now.”

Mikan blushes.  “Th-th-thank you.”

“Mm.”  Yasuke huffs.  “Just make sure you save it.  Wouldn’t want you to lose it.”

“R-r-right!!”

[frosty-sneasel]

I guess this is an introduction!

Hello! I'm Lumi.- Or Frosty. The Sneasel's Camellia. You might know me as @battle-subway-ghost's friend lol, I still have his account password and everything! 😉

Accidentally deleted my account, decided to remake it now though. You can't keep me away forever.

Used to be a Pokemon trainer, I've retired from that though. Still sometimes battle if someone asks, but I'm just trying to live a calm life now! ♥

Nowadays I'm a freelance artist/graphic designer (sometimes!) I have my own professional accounts, this rotumblr is just for me to have fun. (If you do want to contact me for commissions though... 👀 lumi-p@porymail.com)

Anyways, here's my trainer card!

My pokemon:

Camellia the Sneasel (♀)

Aspen the Glaceon (♂)

Cookies & Cream the Vanilluxe (⚧)

Zena the Beheeyem (♀)

Hello! @act11as here again! You know the drill- ooc posts will be tagged as such, and will usually have the color green. I don't always do this, as it can be grating to look at after a while.

My rotomblr "hub" account is @battle-subway-aftershow!

Muse is an adult, mod is a minor. Don't be weird, or I'll screenshot your ask and make fun of you with my friends. Into the hall of shame with you.

(Weird: NSFW/Suggestive asks, fetish mining, etc. Do not fucking do these.)

Like my other blogs- All trigger warnings will be tagged as "[word] tw"! This is to make it easier to blacklist things! if I ever miss something or you need me to tag something in specific, shoot me an ask or a dm! I'll try to remember.

Additional warnings: chronic illnesses, hospitalizations, etc. are an important part of Lumi's character! This will be talked about a lot, sometimes more in-depth. They will be tagged accordingly, but if these topics make you uncomfortable, it may be for the best to unfollow!

Guidelines/Rules I guess?

ANY kind of Pokemon Irl blog can interact! Eeby deebies, sapient pokemon, evil teams, whatever! I cannot guarantee that Lumi will be nice to you, (ESPECIALLY an evil team) or believe you.

*Self-Insert fallers, please do not interact. I personally cannot handle these kinds of blogs. Self-insert ocs are fine, but the idea of a real person on rotomblr being isekaid into Pokémon is not.

IN CHARACTER anon hate is perfectly fine! Be an asshole to Lumi! I'm fine with (again, in character) homophobia, whatever. Keep in mind that I won't always respond to these however, especially if they go too far in my eyes.

Extra:

Pelipper Mail, un-mail, and Malice are always open! Feel free to torment Lumi whenever you so please. (links go to the source posts for all 3 lol)

Musharna mail, (sending dreams) and Musharna malice (sending nightmares) are always on! Once again feel free to torment her.

Magic anons are usually off, unless I specifically specify otherwise!

Organizational tags:

#[nickname] the [pokemon] - Most posts about Lumi's pokemon should be tagged like this.

#Frosty doodles - Doodles, usually MS paint. Probably inconsistently tagged, I forget

#Frosty's actual art - Actual art that may or may not get posted!

#Jore (Jean Lore) - Jean lore... elaborate bit between Mylah, Sprite, and Lumi involving jeans. Yeah I dunno how else to explain this.

#Jylah tag - Lumi's tag for @/tinkatinktrain !

#Jrite my jon - Lumi's tag for @/thatfailedpokemontrainer !

And that's all for now! There'll probably be updates as time goes on, Who knows? :3

[lover-of-skellies]

Ok, so

I mentioned having extra Pokémon energy cards and some other miscellaneous Pokémon cards once a while back, and said that I was looking for a way to get rid of them. I'd considered giving them away on my Ko-Fi, but I'm not sure if I'd get in any kind of legal trouble for that, so I'm not going through Ko-Fi and taking the risk

Instead, I set up a whole eBay account, and I'm slowly uploading things over there. I'm not even sure if anyone really goes through eBay much anymore, and I feel weirdly old even just saying the name of the site, but yeah

So far, all I've got is 4 different types of energy cards listed. If anyone here likes Pokémon and is interested in acquiring energy (or other miscellaneous) cards, I'll grab a link to my account so you can take a look at what I have

More will be added later, I just wanted to put up a quick little thing about it before I forgot :P

[originspeed]

Bored so I'm gonna ramble a lot about the Pokémon timeline and specifically Red and I guess Blue too :3

So with Red's shirt in SM, it heavily implies He and Blue started their adventure in 1996, the year of release for the original games. Obviously, right? So then, with Red and Blue being 11 years old when they started, that would make having been born in either 1984 or 1985 (I go with 1984 so I can use the birthdays from the manga, making Red's birth date 8/8/1984.) And then from there, the gen 1 games happen at the same time as the gen 3 games if that one now deleted tweet from Toshinobu Matsumiya showcasing the Pokémon timeline is to still be believed. So then, 3 years later gen 2 and 4 occur, placing Red and Blue at 14. But then, there is an unspecified amount of time from that to the gen 5 games. Here, I like to just go with the real life years it took for those games to release; therefore, 2006 - 2010 from DP to BW that's 4 more years making Red and Blue about 18, then plus 2 more years for B2W2 and XY and they're 20 during the PWT. So far, this would make the year in Pokémon to be 2005 if we're doing it like this. Then we're back on track with specification so 2 more years, our boys are now 22 in Alola at the Battle Tree and the year would be 2007. Here's where I start theorizing again as we go through more unknown time. So again, I'm just gonna follow through with years from SM to SwSh. So 2016 - 2019 that's 3 years making the year 2010 in Pokémon time, then we add SV with 2022 tacking on 3 more years, and we're in 2013. This would make Red and Blue somewhere around 25 and then 28 by the time of SwSh and SV respectively. Bam, that is my very simple theory, not accounting for Let's Go or the split of the mega and non-mega timelines... let's just not worry about that. This timeline probably doesn't conflict with anything too much, the Pokémon world has more advanced technology than the real world anyways. Aside from that, I think just going with real life is pretty cool too. With real life time, that'd make Red and Blue 40 years old right now. Old ass men, smh. Anyways that's all I got I just felt like yapping, let me know what you think, I'd love to hear other headcanons for the game's timeline I really like reading that stuff :P

[oops-its-a-fanwork]

Tidbits about the lepom pokémon boys✨️

Just some little things to know about our fav legendary boys, Papyrus and Sans! You can read their home and backstory here!

The pair of brothers are both psychic types, but I'm not entirely sure about their secondary typing. For sans I'm thinking either psychic/normal or psychic/dragon, and for papyrus either psychic/fire or psychic/fighting. The size of their true forms is somewhat small for a legendary, more akin to the size of Latios and Latias: person sized! Actually these two seem to have inspired the boys’ designs in my mind: not too big, somewhat friendly but definitely not an average pokemon!

Interestingly enough, if anyone describes the boys’ human form, the description will always be focused on their personalities and some rough descriptions of their appearance at best. People remember Papyrus being tall and loud, that's for sure! And Sans is definitely a lot smaller! A laid-back dude!  Oh what did he wear yesterday? Good question!  …I don’t remember… … Skin color? Oh yeah he sure had one… Hmmm…  Anyway yesterday Sans pranked the candy store owner with a whoopee cushion??!?-

Papyrus would love to help people train their pokémon! He adores the bond between trainers and their pokémon, and thrives off of their passion and determination! People would ask him about his team when he offers though, and that just gets them a fidgety “oh would you look at the time! It sure seems evident that I am needed to help with market preparations! But perhaps we’ll spar! Next time!”. Then he does an impressive leap into an open window of a random house and he’s gone. What a guy. You can also ask him to help you prepare for beauty contests. He has a very good eye for those, and although his choices are… non-standard, they have a 80% chance of actually being really, really good.

Sans doesn't really care for or about battling, but if you ask him about beauty contests he’ll at least humor you by joining you for prep time. His suggestions are ridiculous and none of it is helpful. He does seem to be enjoying himself though, and if he’s tired enough you can use props and make-up on him to make him look silly “to match his attitude :p”. If anything, prepping with him does make you and your team far less nervous. No judge could ever give you feedback that's more outta left field or ridiculous than he and his brother can, so you can handle anything now!

Papyrus definitely still gets lovingly attacked by dog pokémon all the time. He’s a magnet for them, they love him! His reaction can be best described as “exit, pursued by bear dog”. I mean it doesn't always happen, but they do like to mess with him, so it is also often times the other way around. Don’t try and keep an important conversation with him when there's dog pokémon nearby, because you will be interrupted!

Sans will tell you what your pokémon are thinking/saying unprompted. This tends to feel like he’s doing a bit, but he’s always telling the truth, or at least a half-truth. The bit is that he’s not doing a bit. What a funny guy!

Papyrus' cooking is in an odd position here: if there's a person to supervise and give advice, Papyrus can actually make a few really tasty dishes! However if left alone he doesn't really realize the way certain appliances work, and might experiment with ingredients that only certain pokemon or humans can eat, like uncooked wheat! Or pokemon berries! Or rocks! He’s personally not the biggest fan of rocks, but he has friends who love them! Sans absolutely does not count as supervision by the way. He doesn’t care what is made as long as his bro is happy, and if the kitchen is burned down in the process he’ll probably sleep through it anyway. 

Despite him having the personality of a “dude who has a little truck he hangs out the window from to talk to u”, the only thing people actually see Sans drive are the tricycles he “borrows” from the town kids. Does he do it to entertain them or does he genuinely think they're fun? Hard to tell. The teens in town like to point at silly cars and other vehicles they see and tell each other it's his. He thinks it's hilarious and definitely plays into it.

Sans is the kind of guy who will walk you home at night if you work late shifts, and Papyrus will princess carry you if you are injured, even if it's just a scraped knee. In both cases, enjoy the view!

Most of their rare time away from any people or pokémon is spent either protecting everyone from an evil team or from agitated pokémon from the mountain. The latter tend to be ghost pokémon and pokémon living in harsh conditions, so no one really blames them for being irritable. These pokémon have been acting up far less the past few weeks though. Perhaps something happened?

[cryptids-lobelia-garden]

I managed to pull this together in the middle of an Absolutely Horrible work day! Yay! (Writing this is probably part of what got me out of a stress and caffeine induced panic attack) Unfortunately I didn’t get it edited on time to post on time, but Hey! It Exists :D Anyway, people should write more characters having autism shutdowns. It’s very frustrating being barely able/unable to talk (I am autism btw)

Anyway, this one’s very environmental. I feel like the timespace distortions in PLA could have been a LOT more horrifying, and I’m here to deliver! Warnings: animal attack (again), uuuuhh what do you call this.. time and space are being bent and torn around him and it is some sort of cosmic horror or something idk what that term means exactly I just know it’s what comes to mind, but uuuh yeah this one’s kinda tame actually.

All of mine so far have been pretty tame, let’s be honest. I promise I can write other stuff we just haven’t gotten to the Good Stuff I Have Planned yet

Day 5: Reckless

Takes place some time after the battle atop Mount Coronet. (After day 4 of this event, far before day 3, which happened before days 1 and 2)

~~~~~

Volo should have known this would happen when a strange energy started to fill the air. He should’ve known this would happen when sparks started to fly.

He thought he had more time before it did, thought he could pick a few more berries from this tree and run.

He should’ve known better than to test his fate, especially in a distortion that he had indirectly caused. Arceus has a sense of humor, after all, and Volo is no stranger to the cruelty that fate seems to love to bring him.

Scents from past and future flow into the air, and he can hardly breathe, stumbling as the ground morphs and shifts under him. One moment, he’s standing on the grassy hill, and the next, a structure he doesn’t understand appears out of nowhere, trapping him inside.

He scrambles his way out a window and brings his fingers to his mouth, whistling as loud as he can.

But Toge doesn’t come. She can’t hear him in the storm.

I could die here.

The realization sends chills down his spine.

He’s been confronted by his own mortality plenty of times in his life. It’d be a surprise to hear someone hasn’t, really, in a world as dangerous, as cruel as this one. Wild Pokémon attacks that aren’t immediately deadly can still be incredibly dangerous later, after all, and there’s a myriad of other dangers in this world.

Volo happens to be particularly good at getting himself into bad situations, and fate has always seemed to be especially cruel to him. He’s faced death plenty of times.

But it’s never felt so close.

He could run from murderers and wild Pokémon. He managed to strike a deal with Giratina when they met, he learned everything he could forage so he would never starve, he had even escaped the wrath of a particularly powerful zoroark, which is an impressive feat, considering the fact that even the normal zoro put plenty of people on the death toll.

But he can’t run from this. Not when he can’t breathe and the ground itself doesn’t seem to work as it should, flickering in and out of existence at the drop of a hat.

He curses himself for his stupidity as a terrified steelix shrieks, a sound like boulders tumbling down a mountain. It’s moving too quickly to see where it’s going, barreling straight towards Volo.

He just manages to dodge out of the way, ducking and rolling behind a tree- but an electric attack hits him, and he shrieks as his whole body jolts from it, falling to his knees.

It’s hard to move, he’s shaking, his muscles are spasming.

He can’t run.

Paralyzed.

I’m going to die here.

Something falls into his hands, a strange device. Some sort of bracelet, with a thick, flat face.

It lights up as he touches it.

He frantically presses back against the tree as an alpha raichu steps forward, holding the strange device up.

He’s about to move to throw it in desperation-

And then something he touches on it creates a shield of pink and blue energy, surrounding him just as the raichu tries to hit him with a Thunder.

He can breathe.

Volo scrambles to his feet, catching his breath. “Is this- some sort of shield..?” It moves with him as he walks- no? It’s moving with the device.

He scoops it off the ground, shaking his limbs out to try to get the rest of the electric attack out of his system, and he sprints towards the outside of the distortion, carrying the device with him. The ground materializes beneath his feet, holding steady even as it breaks around him, and he thanks fate for finally giving him something good.

Some attack hits the shield, and he yelps as he’s thrown, but he isn’t hurt by anything except his own bad landing. Scrambling back to his feet, he runs the rest of the way out, jumping through to the outside of the bubble of distorted land just as the timespace storm starts to swirl.

Terrified pokemon shriek as they’re swept into it. Volo nearly throws up as he sees human remains inside, swirling with the rest.

And, in a flash, all of it is gone, leaving no sign of what just happened but specks of shimmering pink dust, floating softly to the ground.

He’s in a cold sweat, shaking as he stares at where he was almost swept away. The trio would RUN INTO these. For FUN, to collect the things inside.

What the HELL is wrong with them!?

He takes a few shaky breaths, collapsing to his hands and knees. The device makes a clicking sound as it wraps around his hand, but he pays it no mind for now.

Okay.

Okay, I’m okay. I’m alive. I’m okay.

..I have nobody to blame for that except myself. I shouldn’t have stayed when the storm started to gather. And for what, a few handfuls more of berries? That wasn’t worth the risk!

He stares at the strange device, which has moved to his wrist. There’s numbers on the front, though he’s not sure what they’re for.

It’s a miracle I made it out. And it’s because of this wondrous device..

It’s locked itself around his wrist somehow. He can’t see the locking mechanism- it looks like a clean band, aside from the face. The only sign as to its origin is some strange lettering on the side, though he doesn’t really recognize the characters. He knows he’s seen them somewhere before, though.

With some experimentation, he figures out he can move the device up and down his arm, but he can’t take it off. It’s comfortable no matter where it is, fitting perfectly to his skin, but it won’t go over his hand, despite obviously having the capability of doing so.

Fascinating..

Okay, he’ll deal with that later. He stands, making his way back to the little camp he’s set up.

He’s still feeling a little stiff with the after effects of a fairly mild electric attack paralysis, but he’s not too hurt- he must’ve not been hit too bad, thankfully.

Volo sits at camp, dumping out his bag and counting the supplies he’s managed to gather.

If he finds a way to preserve the food, what he has gathered today will be enough for a few days. So the progress towards what he and his Pokémon need to survive the winter is slow, but it is progressing.

The extra berries he grabbed are enough for two extra meals for Toge, so there’s that, at least.

Was it worth the risk? No, not in the slightest. Not when he can easily gather that safely.

But does it make him feel a little better about it?

Absolutely.

He looks up as a shadow falls over him, quickly moving to catch Toge as she flies into his chest. “Hey!”

She squeaks happily, shaking her bag- and that’s the sound of a bunch of apricorns. He can also see the leaves of a few different edible plants and medicinal herbs sticking out.

Volo smiles, cuddling her close. “Thank you, sweetheart,” he murmurs, burying his face in her feathers with a quiet sigh. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

~~~

PARADOX DETECTED

A young woman leans over to look at the alert, brushing curly red hair out of her eyes. “Oh! Well, that explains where he got his watch.. That is a dangerous paradox, wow. Very lucky it didn’t break anything. Dialga must have helped..” She sighs, tapping a few buttons on her watch and sending a quick message to Management. “..Dragons. I need to figure out how Eclipse got it off so I can update the security systems.. What a bother.”

Here are some general things to keep in mind when making a request:

All stories/headcanons will be written in second person POV. 

I will default to a gender-neutral reader, and use they/them pronouns if the reader is ever referred to in the third person. If you would like to make any specific requests regarding the reader’s gender and/or pronouns, please make them clear in your message.

I try to stay as close to canon as possible for most of these characters, but ultimately, my writing reflects my interpretation of the character. Please be understanding.

I will write yandere content. Yandere content includes elements of stalking, abduction, dub-con, etc. If this makes you uncomfortable, you may mute the “#yandere x reader” tag, or the “#ceru.yan” if you still wish to see my other content. However, if you find it would better suit you to mute or block me, please feel free to.

Disclaimer: Of course, I do not condone any of the actions or themes portrayed in these stories/headcanons in real life.

Do NOT interact with this blog if you are younger than 16. Do NOT interact with or request any NSFW content if you are younger than 18. If I find out you are violating either or both of these rules, I will block you.

You may request a scenario or headcanons for any character listed below:

Honkai: Star Rail: Acheron, Argenti, Aventurine, Black Swan, Blade, Boothill, Bronya, Dan Heng, Dr. Ratio, Gepard, Himeko, Jing Yuan, Jingliu, Kafka, Luocha, March 7th, Robin, Ruan Mei, Sampo, Seele, Serval, Sunday, Topaz

Kingdom Hearts: Kairi, Riku, Roxas, Sora, Vanitas, Ventus, Xion

My Hero Academia: Todoroki Touya (Dabi), Takami Keigo (Hawks), Shigaraki Tomura

Pokémon: Arven, Cynthia, Drayton, Gold, Kieran, N Harmonia, Nemona, Penny, Raihan, Red, Silver, Volo

I will NOT write NSFW for underage characters. Yandere requests for them are okay. You may request a scenario involving a timeskip or for them to be aged-up, but I still will not write NSFW for them, even in this circumstance.

If you want a character to be portrayed as yandere, please make sure to indicate that in your request. Bolded characters are more likely to be accepted.

More fandoms may be added later, but currently, this is where my brain rot is.

I’m open to writing a lot of things, but here are list of things I will not write, under any circumstances:

Hard-NOs

P*dophilia, Inc*st, and Pseudo-Inc*st

N*crophilia, Z*ophilia

Hardcore kinks, or anything involving vomit, piss, or excrement

Non-Con (Dub-Con OK)

Please note that just because you submit a request, it does not mean I will fulfill it. My drive for writing entirely depends on how inspired I am by the idea, so there is no guarantee on when or if I’ll get a request done. Additionally, I’m still exploring what I am and am not comfortable writing outside of the things not on the ‘Hard-NOs’ list, so please be patient with me. I will not write something if I find it makes me uncomfortable, even if it is not on the list.

Thanks for making it this far! I look forward to seeing what you have for me :D

happy wip wednesday!! you will all be horrified thrilled to know that The Fic is now 63k words and still going. my goal is to get it done before spring break ends, but well. i'm running out of days of spring break here :p anyway! here's a little wip. under the cut again since it's pretty late in the fic.

In all the time he’s known him, Goh has never really thought of Amaranth as an intimidating man. As far as bosses go, he’s fairly lax, and doesn’t even seem to mind when others challenge him on things. But when they leave his office, he can’t help noticing all the tension that has worked its way into his muscles throughout the duration of their conversation.

He feels somehow a child all over again as they wind through the hall to the break room; like he is eight years old again crying to his teacher for reasons he cannot find the words to explain, even to himself. It has been a long time since he has been unable to separate his work from his personal life. Or, at least, since the balance has tipped away from work in favour of his feelings about personal matters.

As they come to the break room, voices float out to them:

“…some kind of Pokémon?” That’s Danika, sounding quizzical; Goh can practically see her furrowed brow, the tilt of her head. “Um, like a…Roselia?”

A laugh, immediately recognizable. Unbidden, Goh feels his shoulders begin to relax, just as Gary says, “Don’t think it was too impressed by that one.”

“You’re right, though. It looks graceful,” offers the next voice, which has Goh’s steps faltering just as Amaranth reaches the open door.

“Ah, there you are!” He steps inside, just out of Goh’s view. “Playing charades again, are we?”

Though his feet are heavy with trepidation, Goh peers around the door to see Mime Jr. holding some kind of pose near the centre of the table. Its hands are held above its head, and it twirls slowly around on its feet. This is a game they play often, which Goh has always found a childish waste of time. But the answer comes to him without so much as a second thought:

“It’s a ballet dancer.”

Mime Jr. drops its hands and nods self-importantly, as if trying to impart to the others that it should have been obvious. But it has lost their attention entirely; at once, all eyes in the room have turned to Goh, save for Amaranth, who is apparently much more interested in the cup of coffee Danika left on the table for him. Even Quillon, on the other side of the table, clearly not involved in the game whatsoever, has looked up from his phone.

1 for Lies of P and your other fandoms (how yould you forget Pino and friends? xD)

Omg you're right I blanked and forgot to list that in the tags MY BAD JFHDHD

1. List 3 positive things about your current fandom(s)

I guess I'm gonna organize these by fandom lol

Pokemon:

- Diversity! Since it's been around for so long, there's tons of fics to read. If you can think of it, someone has probably written it. There's a Mewtwo fic I found in college that's basically a retelling of the events of the first movie, but holy shit it's written so beautifully it made me cry in front of my friends rjrhdgde. It's a dense read, but still one of my absolute favorite fics to this day. That's just an example of things you can find!

- Sub-fan bases. Basically, if you're a big fan of a certain Pokémon, a type of Pokémon, one of the games, etc., you're going to find your people very easily. Kind of falls under the first one a bit but ya know lol.

- Some of the cutest and also the most badass fanart comes out of this fandom. I have both art of a Sylveon with a lollipop and art of Mewtwo breaking out of their armor from the first movie. The duality of man djrhdgs

SoulsBorne

-Maybe I've gotten lucky and just found really nice people, but so far my experiences in the community have been largely positive! I've met some of the loveliest people by posting my Dark Souls and Bloodborne fics, and it really got me back into writing OCs again (you know that's my lifeblood lol)

-Character and lore analyses. Not that I agree with all of them, of course I don't, but if you want an analyses of anything in these games, there's some mad lad out there that's done it, whether it's a post or through an entire fic. Gives you tons to think about!

-ART!! Holy shit there's so many amazing artists in this community. We don't talk about how much SoulsBorne art I've snagged at conventions (I got more of it and Elden Ring stuff at Magfest don't look at me fjfhdhd)

Lies of P

-I haven't been in this fandom for long, but so far everyone I've met has been very sweet! They're also super OC-friendly. I can't tell you how many Stalker and Puppet OCs I've seen, among others, it's really amazing!

-Probably gonna say this for all of my fandoms but the ART OMG. There's so much gorgeous fanart floating around for this game it's insane. Still on the hunt for more Romeo pieces tho rjrhehe

-Headcanon diversity. Do you want a totally mute P? One that talks sometimes? One that's Had Enough? What I'm getting at is there's a P out there for everyone! People have been exploring all the different character angles on him and it's wonderful to see.

Ultrakill

-THE HYPE. Since this is an early access game still in development, the hype that cranks up every time an update is announced is INSANE. I don't think I've ever seen this level of it for an indie game. I got in just in time to witness this for the Violence update and the rush it gives you seeing everyone so excited is amazing!! It helps that every single update has just been an absolute banger. We have reason to be super excited, the devs do stellar work!!

-LORE. Do you wanna feel like Charlie at the corkboard in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Because that's where I'm definitely at right now. Since we're in the last act of the game, there's so much speculation and so many theories about how the game will end. On top of that, people have been playing in the lore sandbox ever since this game started. I know I've def been up at night wondering how the hierarchy of Heaven works and what certain layers of Hell were like before Certain Events TM (I'm being vague because I know at least one person wants to play this bear with me lol). Basically there's tons to explore and the community collectively goes insane about different bits, we have fun here lmao

-I'm bundling art and memes into this one because oh my GOD. The tonal whiplash is a rollercoaster ride. You can go from the most heart-wrenching art of Gabriel you've ever seen to a piece that goes "V1 is a shrimp now" and sometimes you just need that snap back to some levity. The memes are absolutely top-tier. It helps that the voice actor for Gabriel already does memes and shitposts on his YouTube channel, so he just carries that over for Ultrakill stuff sometimes and y'know what? This game is dark, I'm gonna need these memes for when the ending makes me bawl like a baby. The Violence layer already has me feeling the creeping sense of dread (if you know you KNOW).

[whatifyoulivelikethat]

Oddly, not here about your fics...or even to scream over a certain 7 men. I...I...need your help with Pokemon, wiyllt. The Metacritic/user score for Scarlet/Violet is supposedly extra low? It is on my kid's (and husband's!) holiday list. Still worth it? Ignore the haters and still go catch 'em all? 💢 Ah, ty!

lmao, who cares about those dumbass reviewers, buy the game! It's great for both new and older players. The storyline is better than Galar (Gen 8, the previous generation). You can choose your own adventure and explore all you want (well, you might hit a roadblock if the Pokémon are too high level but you live and learn and can always go back to beat 'em up later hehe). The raids are fun, especially if your kid and husband are tackling them together. It's cute, it's bright, it's cheesy, and it reminds / teaches people an important lesson.

Find something you treasure and hold onto it closely. :)

I like Pokémon games because you can make them as difficult or as easy as you want. You get to decide the difficulty. You can think deeply about Pokémon types, movesets, team building, even calculate the math of how much damage you'll do in a particular matchup - or not, just overlevel the crap outta your partners and wreck everybody LOL

Pokémon games shouldn't be taken too seriously in terms of graphics. I've seen people complain about the coding mishaps and, while the lag / odd positioning errors is true, a child is only going to think lag is funny as hell. Adults who complain about lag... go work for Game Freak and code it yourself. XD I thought phasing through walls and poor Pokémon getting trapped in fences was hilarious but maybe that means I'm childish, oop

to adults who say Pokémon is "too easy"... yeah, bro, it's for KIDS, you have to do some thinking to make it fun for yourself, duh *rolls eyes*

I would even go so far to say that this is my second favorite generation of Pokémon (my favorite is Gen 5, Black+White, that storyline is unmatched). They combine the 3 storylines at the end and you go towards the climax of the story with the friends you made along the way (aww I mean, ew, gross (-ㅅ-)! ).

I even ended up liking a character I really hated at first lol

I think the biggest letdown is that your "rival" is kind of... boring? Two-dimensional? The Champion is also not that interesting or strong (in my opinion). I like the other characters a lot more. As an adult, when you read the dialogue of the Gym Leaders and other adult characters, you'll realize "I know someone irl just like that", Pokémon's subtle nod to realizing their fanbase is growing up, which is pretty cool.

I was about to go into a rant analyzing the Pokédex of this generation but then I realized you probably haven't played every generation like my psychopathic self so I'll just say there's a good mix of cute / cool / visually pleasing / hilarious and statistically good Pokémon. :D Get the double pack. The Pokémon on the cover is the one you'll be travelling on, so have your kid and husband fight about which is cooler hehe

also Scarlet+VIolet sold 10 million units in the first 3 days of release, I think these reviewers are just haters :P

I could rant about Pokemon for hours so I'll stop here to spare you... until someone gets me started again lol

[novaheart8]

I like this theory, but my hobby is trying to disprove theories, so this was my work on your theory. (N is Cyrus and Cynthia's child) It's wayyy too long to put here so I put it in a pastebin. It might feel passive-aggressive but honestly rn I'm just a little angry so it's nothing to do with you. Can't put links in questions so go to pastebin and put /UrFQjAJH after the link. If you don't know what pastebin is or something, well uhh idk what to say :P

Thank you for this!! I actually enjoyed reading it /g. I think there's a huge misunderstanding in the disproval of the theory concerning the timeline though, so I'll explain it more here if you'd like to read it (otherwise, you can skip ahead). Then, if you would like to make another argument, I'll be happy to read it!! /g (I CAN'T STRESS THE /GENUINE ENOUGH. I ENJOY DISCUSSIONS!!!)

The idea was always that N was kidnapped as a toddler/young child. Never as a baby. Because you're right! Ghetsis and the rest of Team Plasma would want nothing to do with a baby.

I'm not too sure where you got the "N is 14 during Unova" from. Because for my theory, he's 18 during BW (and therefore 20 in B2W2), and N was canonically designed to be around that age range (18-20) anyway. Which means, following that Unova took place 10 years later than Sinnoh, that N was 8 at that time period - meaning he's 3 years older than Team Galactic, and that actually helps me since I can pinpoint that N was kidnapped at 3! Thank you for that, since that was a detail I overlooked!

It is heavily implied, if not canon, that Cyrus is depressed due to the loss of Rotom (besides his parents emotionally neglecting him), because he had never felt so connected to a Pokémon. That much, I understand; and in fact, had I been up for writing any more, I would've written more about them! However, I simply haven't had the motivation to write more stories. In my eyes, the loss of Rotom was a separate life-changing event that happened much earlier to Cyrus (when he was still a child), and wasn't what pushed him to form Team Galactic and remake the world to be without emotion and spirit. The loss of his family is what I believe pushed him into that.

I'm not going to deny that the line that mentioned he cared about others was about his Commanders, because it absolutely was! But I like to think it was also about his family, though Cynthia, at this point, wouldn't acknowledge that.

Now, as far as my theory posting being a big part of the Mizuhikishipping tag, I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that there simply isn't a ton of recent Mizuhikishipping content besides this. I'm in the same boat with you in wishing that there were more posts for them!! Sorry if you're getting tired of seeing my posts though. I think tumblr has a feature that allows you to block tags? Maybe? If so, I always tag my theory posting as such (#the cyrus and cynthia are n's parents theory), so you can block that tag. Hopefully that'll free up some space as you look for other content!

Your friend should not, under any circumstance, push my theory down your throat. I am deeply flattered they believe in my theory, but at the end of the day, it is just a theory, and is very likely not going to be made canon, no matter how much anyone would like for it to be. I'm sorry that happened to you, and I know I'd feel the same way in your situation.

I hope this all leaves you with a better impression. Again, if you want to talk more about it, you can leave me another pastebin link or something! I'd be happy to discuss this theory with you, since it's something I treasure, and knowing its flaws can help me to fortify it. Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful day/night, anon! ❤

ghetsis harmonia, tenth heir of house harmonia, god of the gateway of truth and ideals, keeper of the dragon force, king of kings. by percival (he/him, 30+).

psa! this blog is highly selective and private. headcanon based and canon divergent lmao. formerly idanikou.

with heavy influence from the works of j.r.r tolkien, suzume (2022), mythic archives of dantalian, various mythologies and whatever else i have compiled (a lot)

a study and criticism of religion, perceived truth and unrealistic ideals, loneliness, the horror and beauty of the divine, the inherent evil behind all things good,

public vs private info ╱ ic wiki (wip) ╱ worldbuilding lore blog is under construction! ╱ meta analysis on this blog ╱

rules under readmore 

affiliated with [ . . . ]

blogroll: @titanchaser ╱ @godstrain ╱ @sonnevater ╱ @astralend ╱ @areadbheir

𝐨𝐧𝐞. #KINGSTHUNDER is an independent, private, highly selective and mutuals exclusive writing blog for ghetsis harmonia of the pokemon franchise. except the vibe of this blog is just ... not pokémon just a lot of other things.

due to the fact that i am OLD, this blog is 18+. please do not follow me if you are under 18!

on this note, this blog will feature dark and triggering themes. i will make sure to tag these things with the format of #trigger so that they can be filtered out! please tag #trypophobia for me!

𝐭𝐰𝐨. this blog will not be open for shipping. i have a long standing worldbuilding where ghetsis is in fact married and he hasn't bonded with anyone else in that way ever since so uhhh.

i am very open to other sorts of bonds, though!

i should also note that i will accept mains and exclusives!

𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞. i am known for writing metas across the blogs i have. in the wise words of a friend:

with this in mind, the metas i write are portrayal specific to this blog, so please give them a read! i know i can be rather wordy- anyone who has followed me elsewhere may know this, but for my first time followers, worldbuilding is one of my favorite things to do. i am particularly fond of analysis of character psychology.

𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞. to the point above, i do have other blogs! i am in and out of other fandoms, but i am trying to focus on a smaller group of things for my own sanity.

and by this, i mean i work 32-40 hours as a registered nurse in an inpatient psychiatric unit. i am busy, i am tired, and i can't keep letting my focus go all over the place. inevitably, it still may do that because i have a tendency to be scattered, so if i don't get to something immediately, it isn't you, it's me!

also related to that, i do love communication! i struggle with reading the room (it's the Autism tm) and so if something's up or if you're bothered, please be direct with me! i will not take offense, i quite appreciate feedback so that i can be better as a person! in return, i will communicate back! i am learning to curate my space (after 10+ years of being on tumblr).

𝐬𝐢𝐱. there are people i won't interact with due to various reasons- my dni list is on the carrd of my other blogs. i won't interact with genderbent versions of characters, people who are Real Life Individuals (not counting fictional depictions like in the typemoon franchise or whatnot because those really have nothing to do with the actual individual they're supposedly based on?).

please stay far away from me if you fall under the following categories (i'm censoring things because god knows tumblr just picks shit up idk): proshipping, writing inc*st, p*dophilia, r*pe/n*ncon, are transphobic/homophobic- the usual gross behavior! use your moral compass!

on top of that, i am a firm believer that we learn from the media around us. full censorship is just as dangerous as the aforementioned things- the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows! please refer to this post which essentially summarizes the gist of what i'm trying to explain.

𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧. anyway, hello, i'm percival / percy, i am 30+ and use he/him pronouns exclusively! i am a hobby artist (it's my side-gig from nursing) and sometimes i post my art, tagged #whats my art tag considering i constantly forget my art tag if it's fancy. please do not repost my art without my permission.

mutuals, feel free to ask me for my discord, since i am much easier to reach there!

i look forward to writing with you!
