#legendary ask game

[ask-the-royal-absol]

(Legendary ask game:

Legendary Pokémon are an important part of world building, considering all of the lore about their role in the lives of Pokémon. So, I decided to make my own ask game for specifically that. As a fun Munday thing!

For this ask game, you get to ask about the legendary Pokémon of my world. You’ll need to say the name of the legendary Pokémon and use one of the symbols below.

🗣️ (talking person) - do they have any other names that they go by or that others call them?

💪 (strong arm) - what impact do they have on the world around them? What is their current role in the world?

📜 (scroll) - what has been written down about them?

👑 (crown) - how do common Pokémon see them? Do they see the legendary Pokémon as one to celebrate or one to fear?

✉️ (envelope) - any local legends about them?

🎉 (party popper) - what ceremonies or traditions are held for them?

🌍 (world) - have there been any wide-scale events surrounding them? Or do they work on a smaller scale?

🎵 (music note) - any rhymes or songs relating to this legendary?

🖋️ (pen) - a quote from a Pokémon that has met them before.

❤️ (heart) - are there any groups that worship them? What rituals do they practice for the legendary Pokémon?

(Note, I’ll be answering these for munday!)

So I have no idea who else to freak out about this to:

Does anybody else remember that in Pokemon XY at the Parfum Palace there are statues of Reshiram and Zekrom? Because I forgot and now I'm buzzing in excitement wondering if that means something is finally going to be done with them in Z:A? Will it tie into Ingo and Emmet?

(Sorry, I just really wanted to gush about this)

Yes they are! (This is a Pokemon Masters EX background but none the less, they’re there in the games)

I’d be surprised if they do anything concerning Gen 5 legendary pokemon seeing as they’re in the Gen 6 region, as PLA didn’t include any box legendaries outside gen 4 (only legendaries included outside of sinnoh at all were the Forces of Nature, and they added a hisuian fourth anyways with Enamorus, so I’d sort of expect PLZA to do the same to another group of legendaries). But who’s to say; PLZA doesn’t have anything that says it has to be exactly like PLA! It could be different!

Regardless, it is interesting to see Kalos have statues of Unova’s legendary dragons. It would be cool to see if PLZA could possibly give a narrative reason for that and put some important event including them, but of course I’m just speculating on a hypothetical right now.

I’m not sure OP, but it would be interesting to see if they would do something with the legendary dragons! Thanks for brining this to me! :)

[pidges-lost-robot]

I think Hunk and Keith love to just stand there as Lance and Pidge fucking roast the everloving shit out of each other and wonder whether people can just be nice and get along instead

(They are both hypocrites)

[sforzesco]

you're SO right, how is it that the best portrayal of many italian renaissance figures comes from a bad videogame from the 2010s

wheezing I’m torn between going truly this is the best portrayal of Leonardo da Vinci we may ever get, and defending AC2 even though I’m a full time Ezio Saga Hater

[aylish91]

📕 Any chance you have any more lovely daydreams?

Oh, I have soooooooooo many. hahaha!

One of the ones that keeps rotating in though is about a reader who lives in a world where virtual reality is super advanced and makes it feel as if you are actually part of the world (to an extent).

You, your brother, and his friends have completely mastered one of the most popular fantasy games that has ever been created for VR. All items are at full capacity, gold is not a problem, and level has been maxed.

However, a new dungeon and storyline had been made~

Using your angel-esk healer, you attempt to join up with everyone to tackle the new content... You are horrible with directions...

You end up finding a portal you think is the right one, but somehow end up getting sucked into a whole other reality. One where monsters and Monsters are not the same, and where the latter is at war with humans.

Saving a group of Monster soldiers and party from a particularly nasty monster, the captain tricks you, captures you, to join them.

You have lost the way back home, you have no contact with anyone of your group, and you can no longer "log out". Everything is now seemingly 100% reality... But at least you have everything that you had in the game!

Now you just need to convince the purpled-eyed skeletal captain that you are not the fated angel sent to save them all...

Merry Christmas ;)

THE BEST OF SHENKO 1/?

The end of the world has a way of reminding you of all the things you forgot to say do. Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (2021)

[puppyeared]

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

In your opinion what’s the best episode (counting dlc’s) in the entire tell tale twdg series?

For me personally, it’s easily S1 EP5: No Time Left. Iconic from beginning to end, it perfectly captures the essence of redemption and pushing through adversity. The dynamics are amazing, especially how Lee reflects on everything while also acting on impulse simultaneously.

It brings out the image of a man who will stop at nothing until his task is completed, even when time and his body themselves are against him. Not to mention the emotions that it floods the player with.

💪 Shaymin, since my own Serafin is one I'm curious about what any existing ones in Arkaedia are like

(The Shaymin who inhabits this world is known to help the land that has been destroyed by other Pokémon. They absorb polluted air, transforming it into flowers and other plants. If you notice a trail of flowers and plants, know that it may be this Pokémon’s trail that is has left for others to follow. Sometimes, they go too far.)

I have no plot for them yet-

but they are the sillies

hello 👀

5 Times Keith and Lotor Tried to Have Sex and One Time They Did ?

Hi! Thanks for the ask! This is a really fun one hehe. I’ve been writing it on and off for *checks notes* FOUR YEARS??? Under the cut for the sake of everyone’s dashboards 😂

Okay so, it takes place when Keith and Lotor are married, after the war and everything. It’s in a universe where everything went better than it did in canon (a low bar but I digress). Also Keith is trans in this one and Lotor has a cool alien penis because I love writing both trans characters and unusual alien anatomy.

The story is made up of 6 comedic oneshots where Keith and Lotor keep trying to have sex but something crazy happens every time and they don’t get to. At the end they finally do, but I haven’t planned out that chapter yet. I also don’t know what the 5th fiasco will be, but I’m open to ideas if anyone has any lol. I don’t have any clips that are good enough to post yet, but here’s the basic, rough outline of each planned chapter:

-Keith and Lotor try to fuck in a tube slide on a playground at night but hear a kid swinging and it puts them out of the mood. Now they have to figure out how to leave the slide without the kid seeing them.

-Keith has an allergic reaction to Lotor’s cologne when he’s sucking Lotor’s dick and has to use a space epipen and go to the ER.

-Keith gets a ‘how to keep your marriage spicy’ book (from Lance as a prank but he reads it anyway) and wants to try out a position from it. The position is unpleasant for both of them and makes Lotor nauseous and throw up. Not sexy.

-Keith and Lotor get a hotel room and try to fuck on the luggage rack. It does not support their weight. They topple over and break the luggage rack and their pride.

Also I feel it should be noted that I haven’t watched Voltron since 2021 so about 50% of what I remember about the two characters is from lilflowerpot’s fic on Ao3, Little Blade. But Little Blade is better than canon anyway, so it’ll be fine.

Yay someone else who’s obsessed with Thieves’ Den and what implications it has for Joker and how it tells us how he sees the world and his confidants. He doesn’t nerf the other thieves just for an advantage because he wants it to feel as real as and as true to them as possible. Though I argue that it’s not entirely accurate but pretty close. “ It leads to the question why doesn’t he just play it with his actual Phantom Thieves. Probably because time crunch and blowing off steam he needs someplace where time and consequences have no real meaning.

hi ^_^ yeah like one thing about me is that i love taking stuff that doesn't actually have much real significance and running with it because it's really funny to me. it's really funny to me. like obviously the thieves den exists purely as fun side content for the player in a rerelease game, and its minor mentions in-story are just to introduce it naturally, but if you decide to take it legiterally its really fun. (have i ever mentioned how funny it is to me that the default thieves den bgm is an instrumental version of no more what ifs) (this doesn't work In Universe because the thieves den is unlocked before jazz jin but like. its really funny to me. you get it) (and yeah every thieves den conversation etc becomes way funnier when you remember that this is meant to be in joker's brain)

im also like this with, like, the third eye (i cant believe joker is cheating at games with his magic insight/vision powers </3 don't tell anybody!) and grapplinghook (i have a set of comics planned about grapplinghook that i haven't gotten to yet bc life is hell but i really really really love grapplinghook. my 'joker persona5 fucking loves his grappling hook' kind-of-headcanon is very special to me lmao) like yeah these are literally just gameplay elements but we can get silly with it.

anyway *joker voice* lets play this card game together gang! and then the others do way worse than they did in his brain. or something. joker loves her friends so much👍

🌟🌼💐 for Ismene!

Ismene our favorite amoral prophet Ismene <3

[prompt list]

🌟- Is this oc good at expressing themself through words or do they have to use other means?

Well. She’s “good” in that she tends to be effective at communicating what she wants. She is not good in that she chooses to do this in a way that pisses many people off and what she wants often includes “being passive aggressive” and “gaslighting people into thinking they don’t understand what they're hearing.” Why? Pettiness. Ultimately she’s not going to be wonderfully eloquent if pressed to do a large amount of public speaking because she’s rather impatient with it, and when it comes to emotional expression she’s awkward at best and actively resistant to any form of actual communication at worst.

I don’t remember if it’s been said before, but the book of prophecies that she writes before her death/public disappearance is written to often be obnoxiously cryptic and to require people to follow instructions blindly waiting for some incomprehensible symbol to make itself obvious. She leaves it with Jaheira, who hates it, and especially hates when those incomprehensible symbols do wind up manifesting. Poor Jaheira. If someone told me to watch for a “flash of clear-voiced cardinal crimson wading through shadows” to avert undefined world ending catastrophe I think I’d spend every day fighting the temptation to vandalize their grave.

🌼- What's your favorite thing about this oc?

Ooh, it’s hard to say- Ismene is one of those characters who’s out of my usual register in a lot of ways (especially with how reserved and emotionally disconnected she is), but god I have so much fondness for her. I think that a big thing is probably exploring the ways that her perspective is warped by her prophetic abilities- she’s in a place where she always seems to be drawn away from humanity very naturally, and that’s not coming from an obvious Bhaalspawn Blood(TM) place. I think it’s a lot of fun to think about the ways that evolves over time, both being changed by existing in the wider world herself and also by her powers and her importance in the world growing. She’s a very corruptible person in a way, but she can’t see how because she was raised in a way that bolstered her against the only form of corruption that seems like it matters: the direct influence of Bhaal. She has the potential to evolve into something very monstrous because of the way that she lets her unique talents feed this ego and this sense of superiority.

Dovetailing off of that, I really do just love playing around with a character who has a very nearly mundane background and the ways that it’s what grounds her in the world. She’s a horrible asshole with a nascent god complex, but she has all these deep, ordinary ties to normal people and places that tie her down as long as she’s in contact with them, and being passed off to Jaheira and Khalid guarantees she picks up more even if she’s not exactly the young woman Gorion might have hoped she would be. The ways that her sincere connections make her an ordinary woman forever instead of a godling are something I really enjoy. Plus: cooking up Sister Shenanigans with Imoen is a source of endless amusement.

And of course, there’s the way that she hangs over everyone forever even in her absence. Heart.

💐- Where is this oc's favorite place to relax?

While there were a large number of library nooks she inhabited in Candlekeep and she was very fond of her childhood room, her favorite place to relax growing up and the one that all places after was measured against was a large, shady tree tucked away not far from an inner corner of the keep’s walls. While nowhere is entirely private inside the keep and nowhere is ever truly far from people, it was just distant enough from the nearest buildings to be quiet, the rustle of leaves when a rare breeze slipped in eating the distant sounds of the keep’s other inhabitants. The library was quieter than this tree. It was certainly more comfortable. But there was a peace in being at the edge of the bustle of so much everyday activity. The shade was cool, the sun was bright, and it was easier for Imoen to stop between chores at the old tree than to go all the way up the library without being caught and sent back to whatever work she was neglecting (not that this stopped her when she wanted to, of course). Saturated in nostalgia as it is, it’s hard for anywhere after to match up to this tree at the edge of the tiny world of Ismene’s younger years.

28 for whichever fic comes to you first

28. Write a new summary for the fic, but badly

Okay so the first fic I could think of was my current main WIP which is The Universes Edge, so we'll be going with that:

In which Lance gets possessed, Hunk, Pidge and Keith team up to commit grand theft auto of a government vehicle, Shiro is having the worst year ever (so far), and I, AsteriaArgo, rewrite an eight season tv show out of spite
