“You did well.” She let Kavik’s happiness wash over her, like bathing in the sun. Saving a life could be a powerful rush.

Hooboy ok. If you are a Cynthia/Diantha fan, you need to do yourself a favor and read Getaway Car by @ranger-kellyn if you haven't already. No, I'm serious, go fucking do it. Yes, right now. You already read it? Excellent. Now go read it again. GO.

Idk how to articulate how hard this fic has rocked my brain. The author has an incredible way of detailing the world and character interactions and has an exceptionally good understanding of why people do what they do. I wish I had better words to explain just how engaging this read was. This is one of those fics where, when I finally caught up, it had me going "well now what" because it had consumed my brain so thoroughly and I immediately wanted to turn around and start reading it all over again. Kind of like when I played Red Dead Redemption 2 the first time and other games just weren't as satisfying for a while after bc it set the bar so high lmao.

Basically, this is the first two pages of a short comic I have been very, very slowly working on for the past couple months based on a script that is used within the fic. I've always wanted to do a comic of my own but have never taken the plunge for many different reasons. Kellyn has been kind enough to let me use their script to work off of. In the fic, both Cynthia and Diantha perform in a crime drama TV show side by side and that show is what this comic is based on. For further context, go read the fic. : ) Hopefully, I will be able to stick with this project and y'all will see the next couple pages in another month or so lmao

Guest post: Feeling Qualified to Write from a Christian Perspective by Kellyn Roth

Hi there! I’m Kellyn Roth, a Christian historical women’s fiction & romance author. I’ve been independently published for many years, and I now run my own company, Wild Blue Wonder Press, to spotlight other amazing Christian authors. Recently, I was published in the Author Conservatory’s anthology, Voices of the Future: Stories of Courage & Compassion, and Courtney was kind enough to bring me…

my shadows of almia headcanon of the day: the chroma ruins are actually catacombs. with all the tunnels being, yknow, underground, and the existing manmade structures being 1) in place block off the primary entrance (i think, my memory is admittedly a little fuzzy) and 2) that one dais where the shadow crystal is supposed to be - the ruins were the traditional burial grounds of almia’s royal family (or just in general), the shadow crystal grew where the ancient king was entombed, and his remaining child in almia broke tradition by choosing to be interred in the hia vale/almia castle.

:readmore:

the older two siblings, who had been previously banished to the volcanic isle of boyle and the haruba coast, were similarly entombed away from the traditional resting grounds of their people, in the lands they spent the last parts of their lives in. all three’s resting places were found to possess 3 mysterious gems, similarly to the great crystal growing in the king’s tomb. (following the discovery of a dark stone formation growing out the king’s tomb, the catacombs were sealed from further use.)

the pokemon guarding the tears of princes were companions of the deceased princes, residing over their masters’ final resting place - the two legendaries are the same, but the lucario line (which doesn’t live as long) has passed down this duty through the generations. it is shrouded in mystery exactly when darkrai comes into play - was it a caretaker of the catacomb prior to the king’s entombment and crystalification? or was it attracted to the dark energy the crystal exuded? did it stay because it personally preferred the energy it radiated, or knew what power it possessed and was trying to act as guardian? questions abound. (read: i am still deciding my own fanlore.)

the spiritomb showed up after the catacombs stopped being maintained, though - it’s natural for them to form in places where many souls have gathered in a space that hasn’t been upkept spiritually. darkai was either indifferent/tolerant of it to some degree or was actively glad it was there, helping protect the tunnel system from outsiders. (if no special keystone is provided, time and exposure from gathered spirits will cause stones to become pseudo-keystones)

uhh the cresselia that was the pokemon companion of the yellow gem/prince is far more aware “the shadow’s” presence back on the mainland (as befitting their dual association - maybe the prince befriended it in relation to darkrai’s existence?) and is a far more difficult capture than heatran and lucario - she wants to ensure the last remaining vestige of her prince is in the hands of someone capable, or not at all. she’s mildly peeved at kellyn that he immediately trades it for keith.

yellow gem/the sun-touched prince = eldest sibling; red gem/the crimson prince = middle sibling; blue gem/the frost-wreathed prince = youngest sibling. the sun touched prince = a title given to the heir prince for his preference for yellow toned/gold accessories, it became to be used ironically when he was exiled to the haruba desert, where such extravagance was less practical, and sandstorms frequently blocked out the sun. the crimson prince = a title given for his preference for red-toned clothing and his violent (bloodthirsty) tendencies, it became ironic when he was exiled to a land of lava. the frost-wreathed prince = a title given for his preference of the cold mountains of hia, and how such cold never seemed to affect him like others. also while they’re all frequently called princes their gender identities are historically ambiguous. at least one of them is trans.

all three of them have fates mirroring what they wanted of a legacy: the sun touched prince is never reunited with his homeland, instead becoming a part of a different culture (and that in itself is something to unpack - historical colonialism and all that) and being primarily remembered not as a ruler but as something else (relating to hippowdon temple somehow); the crimson prince is never the great conqueror he hoped to be, is almost entirely unremembered, boyle isle being home only to a relatively small settlement that no longer sees industrial use (mines scraped hollow), has a small but thriving agricultural culture (got that fertile volcanic soil babey), and is an inexpensive holiday destination at best; the frost wreathed prince never wanted to be first heir to the throne, preferring to avoid politics and live simply but is remembered almost entirely as the last commonly noted ruler of almia.

I’m late to the party but can I ask what the lore is for the uranium nuzlocke au,, uranium invaded my brain and I need content or I will explode/j

Of course! I have a handful of junk for it, and some stuff is not set in stone. I hope you're reading for a WALL of rambles.

Essentially, it starts with the change that Pluto's 'starter' isn't one of the usual three. Pluto decided to befriend an, at the time, unknown machine-like Pokémon who was nicknamed Digit. In time, it'd become known that Digi was a prototype Urayne.

Digit's deal, as of right now, is they were created as a testing ground for how Urayne would eventually work. Digit has become incredibly wary of humans, not fond of how they treat them. They broke out of the lab, vanishing for years. In time, they were found by the Professor, and with some convincing, went back to the lab with them. they became a sort of... Assistant.

Now, that aside, consider almost everything playing out normally... Up until the Championship.

Pluto and their team were overwhelmed by Gamma Urayne, and as a result, lost. Tandor was sent into a Nuclear Winter, and the remaining residents formed camps and groups that began to live either underground, or in well protected cities (Like Bealbeach).

CURIE has earned herself the title of Apocalypse, due to her overall success, and is a CONSTANT threat to the survivors. Apocalypse has upgraded her radiation suit to be a bit more durable, and beneath is a bodysuit that's modified with tech that utilizes that of the stasis tanks. Her body is being kept in a constant state of stasis as a result, where she has no need to eat, rest, and won't age. In short, so long as the tech is functional, she will not die. It, however, does not protect from outward damages.

Pluto, post-Championship, resides between one of the underground camps, and Zeta itself alongside Apocalypse. After learning more about her- specifically, who she is, as well as slowly coming to agree with her views on humanity itself, Pluto's sort of sided with her. Pluto's role had shift from preforming expeditions for resources and information for the survivor party, to gathering intel that Apocalypse and Urayne can use to further their destruction and elimination of people in Tandor.

Normally, Pluto wouldn't have sided with her at all, but they agree with the thoughts that humans are very greedy, and tend to not care for some unless it benefits them directly. Which, unfortunately, is true in both of their cases. Their original relationship is a sort of "you do this for me, I do this for you" Sort of deal, where Pluto do what she requests, and in turn, Pluto is kept safe from the wild Nuclear Pokémon, and gets to reside in Zeta where it's a bit safer.

Pluto is seen by the remainder of the survivors as THE person to deal with Apocalypse, and they all held this 13 y/o in high regard. Pluto's a child- they don't NEED all these responsibilities and praise on their shoulders. They never asked to be called a 'hero' or 'savior'. They're just... Tired. They already have enough trauma and self doubt to deal with.

Over time, Apocalypse and Pluto shift more toward a sort of... family relationship. Apocalypse cares for them like they're her own child- but these feelings partially come from the buried memories from what used to be Lucille. It's a feeling of "I don't know WHY, exactly, but you mean something to me." Kellyn plays a minor role in it all too- acting more as a neutral party, especially after learning who Apocalypse was. He's determined to try and convince her to cease her destruction, and get her to understand that things aren't... What she thinks they are. Granted, she is very far gone, with little room to change her mind. But it is possible. He also just missed his wife, lets be honest.

What happens past that point though can go into a couple directions, depending on the circumstances;

Pluto could remain with the survivors, and in time, Apocalypse is put down.

Pluto remains with Apocalypse, but Apocalypse's own overconfidence becomes her undoing. The result of this is she either dies, or is heavily wounded and has to be put into stasis just to keep her alive until a way to fix her can be found.

The latter results in Pluto snapping and taking over her place, finishing what she started. In time, Tandor would eventually be cleansed by the Hazma, and it'd be converted into a land for the Nuclear Pokémon, and some regular Pokémon, to roam without a fear in the world.

There's also a 'Good end', where the Championship fight ends differently. Pluto doesn't necessarily WIN, but they manage to convince CURIE just how wrong she is, manages to break through that wall of hers. Her own rage before Pluto breaks through overtakes Gamma Urayne, and throws them into an absolute FRENZY. They cause damages left and right while Digit tries to stop them. CURIE realizes her hate has hurt the one she's promised to take care of and protect. It breaks her. After casting the Interface aside, she does all she can to get Urayne to stop and calm down, almost getting herself killed in the process.

Afterward, she willingly answers for her crimes and aids in restoring Tandor.

Thank u for coming to my Ted Talk

Last Song: Something on my Eisbrecher playlist this morning 😔 I was driving to work and I usually have my spotify on

Last Show: Planet Earth on netflix ✌

Currently Watching: Nothing, actually. I can't even commit to my current single obsession right now, can't afford to start a new one. I just watch my documentaries every now and then

Currently Reading: Shelved my snub towards ranobe's to start Eighty-Six, and I recommend it even to those who don't read ranobe (like me). Lovely characters, gives twists to what's essentially a zombie war apocalypse with topics of death, fantasy racism, child soldiers, etc. I'm not sold on the main couple yet, but it's more than that. I actually like the particular way I do not agree with everything the author seems to suggest for this work, as it opens rooms for discussions pertaining to both in-universe and real world. Ready for talks o.<☆

Current Obsession: Lord of Heroes, very particularly f!Lord 😌 The story is about, well, heroes, certainly larger-than-life people but very much trying to make the most of their lives as heroes of their own story, not just the main character's. It's a story about human dignity("human" in a broad sense) in the face of hardships and of evil, very much against cynicism and nihilism if those aren't your cup of tea. Features strong and dignified women characters including the female version of the MC, also has a slew of highly lovable male and gnc characters, and everybody's favorite enby man to really drive it in. I'm pretty much asking myself what would Lord do in situation whenever I want to be a good person xD Lord is just a perfect example of a character who must struggle to be good, a display of what daring to be good can entail - namely, it comes with a constant need for decision-making, responsibility-taking, and facing your own shortcomings. But Lord will persevere. I have faith in her

Unrelated Obsession: So you know I'm a multiverse-multishipper, I very much ship both Rangerschoolshipping and Vatonageshipping in their own "timelines". Although I think of Kellyn and Kate as completely interchangeable protagonists, I do slightly differ in their characterizations, so my ship of them with Keith each come with a different flavor. Granted, I'm the Kellyn person, so I'm more ""obsessed"" with Rangerschoolshipping... But Vatonageshipping enjoys a healthier relationship with better outlook of working out, not the least because I enjoy torturing my faves xD

At first, not many people knew about Kellyn having a couple of children.

He loved them, he always did. Even if he was the type of guy to keep his work and family life separate, there were times were Kellyn wanted to brag about his children.

However, he didn’t. For many years, he felt too ashamed to bring them up to anyone.

While he does keep in contact with them in my au more than he does in canon, he's still a pretty absent father, especially due to being very busy with ranger work. I can imagine that sometimes it would leave him too exhausted to talk to other people sometimes (though it wouldn't stop him from reading Ion's texts, even if he didn't have the energy to respond.)

Kellyn views himself as a bad father. Even if he visits Ender and Ion and sends them gifts, it often doesn't feel like enough. And for a while, he can't do much about it, it would be too much to handle, he cares about being a ranger and keeping Tandor safe almost as much as his children too.

Maybe he does start slowly bringing them up throughout the course of the game, I dunno, remains to be seen. Probably when they start regularly helping out the rangers does he start talking about them more.

Kellyn is a pretty fun character to think about. What I'm aiming for is a father who isn't exactly the best father, but still makes an effort to care for his kids.

And right now, the king had a mission to complete for the Avatar."

Tagged by @ranger-kellyn, thanks pal!

I don't ship on principle (that principle being I'm aroace and romance is an utter enigma to me), so I'm going to change the rules to friendshipping instead. Now let me tell you about my favorite pairs of besties.

3 (friend)ships: Purah & Robbie. No question. I love their dynamic and everything I've invented for it. Zelda & Impa, also to the surprise of no one who follows me. Impa is my favorite character of all time and making her nearly the same age as Zelda in AOC was a brilliant move by the devs. Finally, Samus & Pikachu. There's something so wholesome about this little mouse finding a way to get along with this outsider human, and their friendship works because they're so different from each other.

First (friend)ship: Harry & B'Elanna from Star Trek: Voyager. The top of the class honor roll student meets the dropout from a troubled family, and then they get lost together. They seem like natural enemies but they aren't - she's nice to him because he's so naive and he's kind to her because he thought she needed a friend. A+ tier dynamic.

Last song: That I remember the title of? "I'll Be There For You" by the Rembrandts, aka the Friends theme song. Also, do yourself a favor and listen to the whole thing. It's actually really wholesome.

Last movie: A Muppet Christmas Carol.

Currently reading: ST:VOY: Battle Lines, by Dave Galanter and Greg Brodeur. Number 16 of the Voyager licensed novels.

Currently watching: The Ace Attorney 3: Trials and Tribulations Livedub VOD from Sonicmega's twitch channel. With a small break for the Miitopia VOD. Look, you try to commit to a TV series with ADHD and unlimited choices, okay?

Currently consuming: chicken nuggets and fries. I love our air fryer.

Tagging (if you feel like it, no pressure): @narbevoguel, @lordsooga, @strawberry-science, @swoodthis, @akkalatechlabs and @artisticzaati.

Way to the Dawn

"What have I gotten myself into again...?”

That's what Kellyn had been wondering for a while.

Between the transition to adolescence, a crush with whom he didn’t know how to react, and a criminal group whose intelligence was only a joke... He was getting quite dizzy!!

But everything is fine! He should make it out without too much damage!

…Normally.

------------------------

I want to thank Charowak and their “OneDay” fic for giving me the inspiration to make this one!

So this fic is going to sum up the ENTIRE Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia game, so obvious SPOILERS! If you're reading it I assume you've finished the game, seen a let's play/playthrough, or you don't care because you just want to read a fic to pass the time.

Anyway, what else…Ah yes: couples (M/M, F/F...), cheesy moments here and there, the idiocy of the Dim-Ah…If I tell you everything, it wouldn't be funny right?

I hope you’ll like it! Enjoy!~

I'll... throw in Adrienette from ML, though I could have said the lovesquare and had 4 ships for the price of 1. lol.

First ever ship: Ash/Misty from Pokemon ❤

Last song: Apparently i was listening to Bubblegum by Lele Pons when I last paused spotify.

Currently reading: I started Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility but I am not sure I'm going to continue it oop... it's just hard to get into the style of narration, I'm finding it quite distant from the characters.

Currently watching: Mostly youtube. Waiting for the next episode of The Owl House and the next season of The Legend of Vox Machina to drop this month.
