Mark your calendars...the final leg of Sweet & Sour Dipplins will be kicking off on May 31st, 2024 at 10:00PM EST with the greatly teased "big reveal" chapter. .̵.̶.̷r̵e̶a̶d̶y̴ ̶f̶o̶r̴ ̶i̴t̷?̶ ̵:̸)̴

Special, special, special shoutout to @mandachuart for creating promotional art! She is a dear friend of mine and quite literally helped me turn a vague concept into the art of my dreams. Her art is consistently stunning, breathtaking, and colorful, and her incredible detail-orientation only took this concept to new heights as she listened to my requests to capture exactly what I wanted & then some.

I highly recommend her artistry. If you're looking to have beautiful & meaningful artwork made with love, please consider supporting her through commissions.

The theorising has gotten to me. I don't want to hype up part 2 of the DLC TOO hard for myself, but... What if this toxic chain didn't just get a hold of Kieran but his Pokémon too...

S&S D —

Juliana, gets injured in the terrarium:

Kieran, nowhere near her: Something just happened.

Pecharunt: ????? Kieran: I felt a disturbance in the force. Pecharunt: I am the force bitch??? And I'm supposed to be disturbing you?!??!

Kieran, completely ignoring: I should text Juliana and see if she's alright.

OH MY GOSH STOP

THIS IS TOO BEAUTIFUL YOU DID NOT HOW. HOW DID YOU DO ALL THIS?!

THE EMOTION?! CHAPTER 5 REFERENCE?? THE SMOOTH TRANSITON BLINK BETWEEN BOTH KIERANS??? THE DRAYTON CAMEO?! xDDD THIS IS TRAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR TIME AND EFFORT OHHHHH THIS IS SUCH A *TREASURE*

animatic + explanation! 🍏🍎

so this is another animatic for @dipplinduo! (i’m obsessed w her fic guys)

explanation under the cut <3

the beginning included my vision of chapter 5 in the charge stone cavern, the “do you hate me?” line fit in with the line from the black dog. the part about old habits dying screaming was just how kieran’s feelings didn’t change, the habits just came back. 

the part that goes “were you making fun of me as some esoteric joke?” i linked it to when kieran thought that the player and carmine were making fun of him when discussing ogerpon.

i didn’t know what to do for the last ten secs tho…. giggl!!

anywho, the animatic isn’t very well done and kinda choppy because it’s drawn on a phone and because  i’ve suffered a hand injury. (also why i haven’t been posting lately) 

but i hope you enjoy!

(and i had to get this out bEFORE they have their happy ending… 😞)

OH AND ALSO DRAYTONS THE “PRIEST” BC OF THE DRAYTON CHURCH IN ENGLAND LOLOLOL

You know how y'all are into the whole Pecharunt possession over Kieran thing? Well, I have one enlightening thought.

What if Pecharunt possessed Juliana instead as an AU?

Like at the end of the Teal Mask and before to Indigo Disk, Juliana was in shambles over betraying Kieran for simply lying to him because she was told to do so and regretted not telling him and having a crush on him which makes her feel worse and going as far as hating herself for being silent about it.

At her vulnerable moment, Pecharunt possessed her and basically made her convinced that being nice(befriending a shy gentle boy who never had a friend before) and obedient(being told to not tell Kieran out of safety but look what happened) is what got her in trouble and she should forget about it if she wanted to ruin herself and others around her more. She should focus on being more stronger, not rely on anyone and not let herself be distracted anymore.

And that led to Juliana undergo a change. From being a friendly and caring person who battles for fun to a very cold person who pushes away her friends out of underlying fear to not hurt anyone anymore and focuses on being a better battler than she already is. She no longer battles for fun; she battles and trains to get stronger and push herself hard to be better and perfect and not get attached anymore and not to be distracted.

It gets to the point that even Kieran, who at the time is obsessed with getting stronger in order to simply beat Juliana, to notice something isn't right with Juliana and her habits aren't healthy(that's saying something coming from him who doesn't get enough sleep and trains nonstop) and slowly grew concerned with her as his feelings for her resurfaced.

His concerns grew even more when Ogerpon, the pokemon who chose Juliana over him, and the friendly Raidon(Juliana had switched for the aggressive one) goes to him for help them snap Juliana out and get Pecharunt's control off of her.

Kieran sees Juliana as the hero and possibly himself being the villain. But now it became the hero turned villain and the villain becomes the anti-hero situation.

I dunno, this idea got me thinking hard and the possibilities here!

AWWWW

THIS IS ADORABLE AND FUNNY AND SO SWEET!!! <3 <3 <3

I am so appreciate of you going out of your way to make this, and all of the references you included are incredibly thoughtful!!

(The picture with Drayton & Carmine watching Kieran being edgy also made me LOL - I love seeing interpretations of behind the scene stuff xD) THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT AND FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL ART!!!!!! AND PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR HANDS

For @dipplinduo

So uhhh, I loved your "Sweet & Sour Dipplins" story so much that I wantedto show my appreciation by drawning something about it.

It's been 4-5 years since I last drawn so it's very... meh compared to the other art that you would get from others. Still, I hope you'll like it :3 !!! ( I'm never drawning ever again, my hands hurt ;( )

Toxic Consequences AU fanart for @tealmaskmybeloved

I had a lot of fun adding some designs to Carmine's outfit cause I felt it was a little lackluster compared to Kieran's, though I still like it either way!

Expect more fanart to come soon, hehe!!

Want art from me? My commissions are open!

Terastalizes your Juliana
