HEEEEEY!!! How's my bestie Kiki????

[overchromatic]

Kieran after realizing that sending an Applin to a partner is a sign of wanting to be in a relationship: Oh God, oh fuck, oh God, oh fuck, oh God, oh fuck, oH GOD, OH FUCK-

Kieran was stressin' over nothing!!!

[shima-draws]

I have a question how would your Ogerpon Kieran react if we told him we have a crush on him, before finding out Kieran is Ogerpon?

ACTUALLY I kind of imagined smth but like, in the opposite direction!

Basically this is his reaction LMAO

[meeks-just-wants-to-scroll]

Kieran duffy pov

Their height difference makes me giggle.

For the people who had been asking themselves where‘ve been the past 2 weeks…well

you can blame this piece of artwork right here.

Since I‘d done the sketch back then in one of my ask answers, I‘d planned to color it as well, considering the sketch looked nice enough and the story/author @angelabsol totally deserved a fully finished fanart not just a lame doodle…

But man…made this pic make me WORK for it.

No jokes, I perhaps redid this picture like 5 or 6 times because I wasn‘t satisfied with the colors or the shading or…other stuff….

So yeah, thats basically what my two weeks looked like, redrawing one artwork over and over pfff

I hope you guys like it lol

Oh and also feel free to check out the story this pic‘s based upon as well - it‘s really well written and offers a great „What if“ scenario <3

Question for the gang members awake right now (such as John, Hosea, Lenny, 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚝, Arthur, and Dutch)

For Dutch or Hosea: Have y'all ever done a whole camp fishing trip?

for each individual gang member: who's your favorite to fish with?

[Art above by @marttapav for anyone wondering :3

For Dutch and Hosea:]

“Of course we’ve tried.” [Hosea seems to cringe a bit at the mention.] “…As it turns out, it isn’t a good idea to go fishing with a large group of people when half of the them can’t swim.” [He shoots a light glare at his husband.

“HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THEY’D JUMP IN—“

[For everyone:]

[Arthur hums and takes a moment to think.] “I usually fish alone, but if I had to pick… I liked fishin’ with Kieran. Or Jack. Probably Jack.”

“Javier.” [John smiles a bit.] “I ain’t very good and he does all the fishin’ for the both of us no problem. Besides… He’s kinda cute when he’s all excited.” [Biased bastard—]

“Hosea and I either like fishin’ with each other or with Arthur… Which reminds me!” [Dutch grins.] “I need to schedule another trip! Hopefully, we don’t get interrupted this time.”

“I don’t go fishin’.” [Micah was whittling at the moment.]

[Lenny stares at him, briefly before glancing off.] “I don’t do a lotta fishin’, but I’d probably say Hosea. I like listenin’ to his stories.” [He smiles.]

[Javier grins.] “I like fishing with people like Arthur and John. They get so confused— It’s hilarious.”

[Kieran lights up a bit at the question and blinks.] “Oh! Uh—“ [He hums.] “…I dunno if this counts, but I like havin’ Branwen ‘round when I fish.”

Thoughts on Kieran's new look for Part 2 of Pokémon Scarlet/Violet DLC?

[heavenlymorals]

I absolutely NEED to hear your thoughts on Bill liking Kieran your writing is so good

@escapingsin

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

I am but a servant of the people and I have been put on God's green earth to serve (cunt)- so of course!

Let's start off with the basics- Bill is gay. Though it hasn't been officially confirmed by Rockstar, it doesn't take a genius to see that that man is gay. He's the only male gang member with no female relationship or mention of a female relationship and his sexuality is implied multiple times by gang dialogue: "Arthur and Martha, or Bill and Phil." "Is he about to kiss that guy or punch him."

Oh and the hair pomade request. That was a lubricant back in the day and Bill is balding- doesn't mean he can't use pomade to slick back what he does have, but let's put two in two together, babes. He's messy, stinky (Dutch: "You could try washing"), and doesn't really take care of himself. I doubt he wants pomade for the sake of styling his hair, let's just get that cleared up.

And there is also his reaction to Arthur getting r**** in the swamp. I won't go too deep into it in this post but I have made a post all about it here :

But the main point of that post is that Bill is trying to test the waters to see if Arthur is also gay because I doubt Sonny would tell him what actually happened.

So yes: Bill is gay.

He's also gay in 1899 America, where homosexuality and homosexual acts can be met with jail time or even death. It wasn't a kind time period to gay people and Bill represents this by his general attitude. He's isolated and angry because of men. He hates them and he is attracted to them and that makes him act flustered and violent many times throughout the story. He can't properly express how he feels either about men because even in the gang, it wasn't accepted of him to be gay and it was treated as an out of sight, out of mind sort of thing.

So what does this have to do with Kieran?

Well, Bill likes Kieran, but what makes their dynamic interesting is that while the rest of the gang members, bar Dutch, Hosea, and maybe Arthur as the old guard, have the same status, Kieran doesn't. He is below them because of his former status as an O'Driscoll and any mess up or disrespect can very much end with him getting killed or punished in some way- the amount of characters threatening to castrate him is insane.

Kieran doesn't have the same protection as the other gang members, nor the respect, so Bill can get "close" to him without any real pushback because no one would stop him. And given the frustrations that Bill already has + the homophobia of the 1800s + the opportunity to hop on some "fresh meat", he wouldn't know how to express his interest in Kieran besides aggression and overly friendly aggression.

Like there is the scene where he tries to give Kieran a drink out of kindness. He starts off friendly, but when Kieran declines, he becomes aggressive, and Kieran being terrified for his safety, takes the drink and runs away, with Bill begging for him to come back, confused at the whole situation. He can only do that because of his seniority status over Kieran. Remember the reaction Bill has to Arthur being SA'd? He is playful, not aggressive, and doesn't get aggressive because Arthur, even though he aggressively tells him to get lost, has a higher rank than him.

And of course, you have Charles and Arthur talking about how Bill likes no one and then Charles says that he likes Kieran with both him and Arthur then laughing at it because of what it implies.

Bill likes Kieran but because of the life he lives and the attitudes of society and the gang in regards to homosexuality and just him in general, he can't bring himself to act normally with Kieran to express his attraction to him, which leads to poor Kieran getting terrorized the way he is.

Poor, poor Kieran.

hi! can I ask why some many people think that Roman has an ed? not a criticism, just genuinely curious cause I never noticed any signs!

i first started thinking it from day one for no reason other than i hc lots of my faves with eds because i love angst and have suffered with eating disorders therefore i like to project/ find it easy to write etc haha but over the course of the show there’s been lots of things tbh.

very early on in the show we see him bodychecking pinching his stomach etc he looks unhappy with his body. he’s very rarely seen eating anything other than fruit, frequently at tables he’s the only one not eating. this gifset is a really good show of that.

the roy’s in general all seem to have poor relationships with food, which has been confirmed in the recently released script books (“the summer of competitive eating disorders”), but roman especially has several fraught memories relating to food (being forced to eat chocolate cake (dog food?), getting beaten for ordering lobster, “if you wanted roast chicken and i wanted steak we always had chicken, i would fucking tantrum because i never had steak, i never won.”)

i think kieran did irreparable damage with this interview (he’s so smart, this was also over a year ago, before the scripts released anything canon).

roman’s relationship to his body is consistently distant and negative (he’s not a real person). he was, as far as we know, the only one who got hit by logan. he’s the shortest, he was sent away to military school which is notoriously regimented and harsh on the body, he was shoved into a cage, he was beaten, and depending on your reading into it there’s also plenty of hints that he might have been sexually abused in some way. he’s seen as the weak dog. he’s constantly treated as such.

i think having control over food is a way he could take control over a body that’s never felt like his, that no one else has ever respected so why should he? i don’t think it’s all about being thin, although we definitely see signs of him being obsessed with his image. he was never going to be the biggest, the manliest, but he could be in control. an eating disorder could be his private thing, the thing he could do well at, no one knows how strong he’s actually being by denying what his body needs. that’s impressive, okay? that counts for something, surely.

he seeks comfort in harm, he doesn’t know what his dad means when he asks if he even made contact, he’d already forgotten, promise. he asks to be degraded, he jumps into a mob asking to be hurt, he needs it, he’s been taking beatings his whole life, he speaks this language. he’s got the gift of the gab when it comes to destroying himself. he’s hurt and he’s hurting but he chose it, he’s got control. he has.

What do you think would happen if Sean and Kieran were alive in chapter 6? Would they be in guarma in chapter five? And what sides would they take in the end?

Kieran would not be in Guarma, in chapter four they are just starting to trust him, they would not bring him to the bank robbery, he would have to step up and help keep the others safe. I think that would be very interesting to see though, we hear that Charles and Sadie had to clear Lakay from thugs and Kieran would probably help there. We only really see him stand up as the criminal he is in six point cabin.

Kieran would also absolutely be on Arthur's side, he cares more for people than he does money and loyalty. He is quite a loose soul and wouldn't struggle with "betraying" Dutch, he probably wouldn't be there in the complete end, he would run with Mary-Beth or something similar, he is not staying til that gun fight.

As for Sean, he would be in Guarma. They need every gun they can get in the bank robbery and he wouldn't "sacrifice" himself like Charles did and thus stay in Saint Denis, so yes he goes to Guarma. As for what side he would be on, I actually don't know. While he is alive he is fiercely loyal, we see him half doubt once, however it is nothing special and when Arthur talks about Dutch to him he says people should get off Dutch's back.

The thing is, we don't know how he will react to everything that happens, we don't really see him react to any kind of betrayal because none happens while he is alive. I can argue for him taking both sides, but I am not certian in either.

He is a person who doesn't show that much care in killing, he happily kills rich people and anyone who works for them, he doesn't even seem to care about Heidi, the innocent girl Dutch practically executed. So doubt would not come from the amount of people they kill or their morale, where I however can see him get cautious with Dutch is when he gets wreckless with the lives of the gang. Sean loves the gang, they are his family. He doesn't seem to think too deeply about it with the deaths of Mac, Davey and Jenny, but maybe with Hosea, Lenny, Molly and the others he would take a second to think.

Ogerpon or Kieran

I mean, Kieran and I have been through a lot. We just managed to become close again, but what kind of Pokémon Professor would go abandoning the pokémon under their care? I... don't think I can really choose...

[overchromatic]

Imagine Kieran telling his cousin Allister he traded an Applin to Florian but Kieran doesn't know what that means in Galad and Allister is like "You gave him a WHAT"

what a crazy misunderstanding!!!!

[shima-draws]

Tell us about the AU! I know you want to!!

WAUGHHH. AGHHH. OKAY. OKAY SO. I've been watching one of my favorite content creators play through the DLC. Early on in the playthrough he was tossing around theories and said "Maybe KIERAN is Ogerpon??" and that gave me a BRILLIANT THOUGHT.

Ogerpon Kieran AU.......

I've already thought of a very long and complex backstory for this LOL but to simplify it. Before the ogre and its human companion came to Kitakami, said companion was actually living a very happy life with his child. However, they were caught up in the midst of a great war that ended up taking the child's life. The man was so overcome with grief that it summoned a great being (I'm thinking Xerneas), who blessed his dead child with new life. And that child was reborn as Ogerpon!! So kinda like how children who get lost in the woods and die are reborn as Phantump.

Fast forward to many many years later. A long chain of events leads to Carmine's grandfather's...father (so, her great-grandpa?) meeting Ogerpon and vowing to make it a new mask, a mystical and powerful mask that could grant wishes. Sadly, Carmine's great-grandpa wasn't able to complete the mask before he died. This project was eventually picked up by Carmine's father (and I have a whole other thing about him but I'm not gonna get into it right now lol). Carmine's father forms a very close bond with Ogerpon as he continues to gather materials to finish the wish mask. He expresses his desire for Ogerpon to finally be able to walk among the villagers with its name cleared, and for Ogerpon to meet his only daughter. He leaves for a journey to find the last material for the mask...and never returns 😔

Carmine's grandfather has a whole complex about the wish mask, but after seeing both his father and his son dedicate so much time and care into completing it, he takes the last material, imbued with the hopes and dreams of his family, and finally finishes the mask. When he presents it to Ogerpon, Ogerpon dons the mask and its wish is granted...it becomes human :") So it becomes Kieran, basically!! Kieran's wish was to be able to say thank you to all of the generations of mask makers that had helped him, and. To be part of their family 🥺 What he doesn't know is that his wish to be human stems from the fact that he already was human, once. But he doesn't remember his life before he was reborn as a Pokemon.

So, Carmine's grandfather happily accepts Kieran and his desire, and takes him home to live with him and Carmine. Note that Kieran is probably around 5-6 at the time, so he's BABY. And Carmine is only about a year or two older. She isn't sure what to think about suddenly getting a new brother, but she's happy to have someone to boss around lmao.

And once a year, during the festival of masks, Kieran lets his facade fall and wanders around as Ogerpon again. Just to keep in touch with his roots haha

So obviously with Kieran being Ogerpon the events of the DLC will play out differently than canon. Kieran slyly compliments the ogre in front of the player and mentions that maybe it's just misunderstood. He's been trying for a while to change the villagers' minds about what happened to him and the Loyal Three all those years ago, but it hasn't been going...too well lol. So when the player shows up, and things start to shift, Kieran gets really excited bc he realizes he finally might be able to clear his name :")

Is this AU silly and dumb as hell? Yes. Does it not really make sense with canon and is full of plot holes? Yes. Am I brainrotting over it anyway? Also yes.

Take a little edit I did of Kieran's official art to fit what I had in mind for the AU ;) I wanted to draw it but I'm at work rn lmao RIP

ALSO LITTLE DOODLE OF THE BOY

ALSO bc of Ogerpon's original gender Kieran probably goes by he/they pronouns in the AU

[meeks-just-wants-to-scroll]

Begging for chubby Kieran...He deserves so many tummy rubs and just all the love... . 🥺

Kieran is finally given some meals (and a happy ending) and he shockingly develops a muffin top belly. Who would have guessed that the skinny man they strapped to a tree and starved isn’t naturally that thin.

[themostefficientwaywithwater]

people who hate on nemona because she's "too yandere" and "doesn't take a no for an answer" make me wonder if they actually payed attention to her dialogues or only read those joke comics about her being obsessed with the player and always craving violence and said "yeah this is her personality now". or just hate women.

[mythgirlimagines]

I just realized the amount of student characters in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is the EXACT number needed for a Killing Game… So: Pokémon ScarVi Danganronpa AU? (You may choose the talents)

okay i did WAY too much reading for this lol (also I'm assuming I remembered everyone)

Also I made this with no pokemon which made this MUCH harder for some of them (Nemona)

Juliana - Ultimate ??? Admittedly influenced more by Scarlet in pokespe and her "infiltrating" the academy, I think it'd be interesting to have dual protags with one having an unknown talent like this. ...Also I couldn't think of one

Florian - Ultimate Lucky Student. As the second part of dual protags, pairing these talents together would definitely be interesting

Nemona - Ultimate Trail Guide. Since she's a "guide" character... I dunno man, it's kind of hard to think of any specific talent of hers outside of being the best rival battling

Penny - Ultimate Hacker. For reasons that make sense from canon lol this one was the easiest

Arven - Ultimate Food Historian. I wanted to give him Ultimate Chef, but Crispin is also on this list ^^' so I combined his cooking and researcher elements!

Eri - Ultimate Athlete. Kind of umbrella, but she's very athletic and described as such with no real specifications

Ortega - Ultimate Engineer. He's canonically an engineer and mechanic, and since we've had Kazuichi before, I went with engineer!

Mela - Ultimate Artist. It may seem like an odd fit for her, but canonically she joins Art Club to "pursue a hobby," so you never know!

Giacomo - Ultimate DJ. Also a kind of no-brainer lol

Atticus - Ultimate Fashion Designer, also for canon reasons :)

Carmine - Ultimate Mentor. Kind of similar to Nemona in a way and maybe not obvious upon first glance, but due to her being somewhat overprotective of Kieran, I think this would be an interesting talent for her to work with

Kieran - Ultimate Anthropologist. I know we already have Kiyo for that, but due to Kieran's association with and love of the legend of Ogerpon, I thought someone who studied those kinds of legends would be interesting

Drayton - Ultimate Folklorist. That's definitely not the right word... But someone who compiles old folklores. I thought of this one for him because of his connection to Drayden and the dragon-type in general

Lacey - Ultimate Trivia Master. Her trial is a trivia-based game, and I think she would specialize especially in trivia about things she finds cute. I dunno, I was kind of lost for her

Crispin - Ultimate Chef. A no-brainer for him given his everything, but he'd definitely try to work a lot with spice

Amarys - Ultimate Strategist. This is due to some of the information provided about her in the Map Mission Guide, and I kind of associate both strategists and steel-types with being calm, cool, and sharp
