Kieran has brought you some treats! Accept?

> Yes

> No

[ghostatrandom]

Paulo posting in 2024??? Am I avoiding academic responsabilities once again??? Absolutely!

But mostly I never had time to draw while his main event and redemption arc was happening and then the dlc kinda happened so this is months of internal voices talking headcanons into my brain

Emma and Paulo are very sibling-like, when they have sleepovers they love watching mistery and drama movies!

If or when they add Kieran to pokemon masters they better let him and Paulo interact or I will personally be the cause for another law in my country-

Lycanroc :D

post-indigo disk team that is real TO ME.

[quinnwolfess]

Here's the rest of my artfight attacks!

37 attacks overall and I'm proud to have done that for my first year!

@mooflettes @tealmaskmybeloved @kitakami-kid

[felldragon]

what are some of your favorite headcanons? can be about any series/media/fandom :)

ohhhh good question!!! ;__; i have a lot of headcanons for like... every series i get into ........ i'll list a few that are particularly near and dear to my heart....

immortal volo....... i had this hc since the game came out. maybe even before then. it's hard to remember. but it's probably because i'm influenced by the blanket of characters he's similar to in my mind....... it's a really cool hc and i've seen So many interpretations of it over the years. it's one i sincerely hope is true.

grima's sweet tooth which Isn't a headcanon anymore because feh confirmed it... thanks feh. but yeah he's very gap moe i stand by this forever and ever.

kieran has a shiny dusk lycanroc that he raised from a rockruff - it was his first pokemon. + he got to keep terapagos. these are the laws of the land. you just have to trust me...

astrals from gbf all have slightly pointy ears. one of those hcs that i always have to remember isn't real. Unfortunately.

merlin from fgo is blind. this one is simply because i am Blind and i love to throw that hc on my faves but this one is Very Special. i did write up some words on how it manifests here. :}

i'm a strong believer of manakete robin but that's because i have Extensive thoughts on robin equating grima but regardless i will forever say robin has Vague manakete traits.

Way Too Long to Put In One Post but my entire forneus backstory... which i honestly need to refine a bit more since it's Old (4 years. By The Gods)... tl;dr Guy who wanted his alchemy to save people got taken advantage of and he fell into depravity. also his hair was originally brown but it turned white due to stress + transmutation shenanigans....... and that Stuck with the fellblood lineage... if you had white in your hair Congrats you are a likely vessel... oh and this one is fun. he transmuted his own emotions to gain more knowledge. This guy is so normal but fire emblem will not tell you that. 👍

kind of a headcanon but kind of more of an allusion? but jr. + albedo xenosaga feel system-coded to me. with the way they were Once One and refer to each other as halves of the same self... Yeah. i wouldn't say they're a system canonically but i definitely feel it's easy to see that they can be a stand-in for dissociative stuff.

n pokemon's chosen Beast of Choice is reshiram. seeker of truth real. you heard it here first. but if i had to live in a perfect world he'd get both dragons... those are his Puppies

klaus xenoblade is from long island. is this one a joke? no one knows... but in all seriousness, i do believe morytha is somewhere in the northeast us. likely boston. route 90 you haunt me forever...

thank you for asking... this one was very fun to answer even if it's a bit personal. i am headcanonman666666

As that gives lots of damage at both Pokémon as soon they attack back but soon after another hydrop pump and another attack of lycanroc both fall down as soon both grandparents send out a weezing and a mamoswine bunny go you two I’m know you two can defeat them your big brother believes in both of you always no matter what !

*Haruki and Mizuki turn back to look at Bunny and smile at his encouragement as Kieran cheers for the both of them as well, and Mizuki swaps Lycanroc out for Arcanine as Weezing uses Toxic on Primarina, rendering it badly poisoned.*

[psn-stalling]

Have you been looking at Kieran's blog? Think you'll get a kick out of it

Mhm!! I keep tags on everything, anon~

I just think it's funny how everyone on here frames me as the big bad Lycanroc, like all of this is MY fault!~

I mean come on, you think it's MY fault our little champion's ego deflated because I won a battle? One that I'd win again?

[toaarcan]

I'm currently about 3/4s of the way through the Scarlet & Violet DLC in my Mostly Nuzlocke (I couldn't be arsed to figure out how to translate the first encounter rule into SV so it's just a permadeath run with limited resources), I just beat Kieran, and I'm about to go to Area Zero, and I can already tell that this character is going to be fun.

Sam, the protagonist from my previous saga, goes through a lot. There is a damn good reason that I've labelled the Y run "Into the Abyss," shit gets messy for her and I've labelled her "Sam 'All of my Friends are Dead' White" because of it.

But, uh, I am not very good at double battles. Especially high-level double battles with lots of Pokemon. Ryme was a scary fight in this run and Raihan is normally a "Someone's dying here" fight. I almost got destroyed in Amarys' fight, and I went into Lacey and Drayton's fights with the full intent of sacrificing Pokemon to get through.

So Jade, the new protagonist, is getting "Corruption Arc NOW" vibes. Girl took one game's worth of trauma to start throwing things to the lions.

I'm at 18 deaths.

Current roster: Meowscarada, Ceruledge, Garchomp, Baxcalibur, technically Miraidon but I only used him for one fight, Iron Valiant, Empoleon, Hisuian Arcanine, Galvantula, Chien-Pao

Dead: Fletchling, Houndour, Nymble, Clodsire, Zangoose, Gallade, Lycanroc-Midday, Kilowattrel, Pyroar-F, Glaceon, Eelektross, Annihilape, Salamence, Arbok, Garganacl, Scizor, Flygon, Ursaluna-Blood Moon

But the original intent of "stronger bonds and appreciation for new teammates" isn't entirely lost. I've come to love Empoleon greatly, when it was previously my least favourite of the Sinnoh starters, finally putting this trio into the category of "trios where I like all three and have used all three" alongside the Kanto and Hoenn trios. Hisuian Arcanine is great and I may have been enabled on Legends when I previously wasn't that interested in it. The high levels of the DLC have allowed Iron Valiant to really come into its own, that 319 Attack is nothing to sneeze at. Chien-Pao will go first and will destroy everything in its way.

Anyway, Kieran got absolutely destroyed by Empoleon's bulk and Competitive ability and Iron Valiant liberally applying Spirit Break, now to go find a turtle.

[thealiensalamander]

Far too often, my dreams give me designs for Pokemon characters. Often, they are recolors, and they usually don't have names or any actual characterization, but it's still interesting.

Here are some of them:

-A gray-ish purple Sylveon named Frank, who had half of his face burned. He was supposedly a nice dude though, which is good since it goes against the trope that only villains have scarred faces.

-A yellow Umbreon with white rings. No name or anything, but it's cool since Umbreon is normally darkness-themed.

-A bipedal Leafeon who looked sad in the image my dream provided. I don't know why he was sad, he just was. No name though.

-A blue Lycanroc (or some other similar Pokemon) named Sage, who was a cannibal.....and a sympathetic character too, according to the dream.

-Two Milotic, a male one who is light-themed and angelic, and a female one who is darkness-themed and demonic, and both are good guys on the same team. Their names were Kieran and Celestia respectively, ironically in the second case.

There are far more than just these, but these are the ones that come to mind first. If I was better at drawing, I would try and make full designs for them.

Lycanroc!Kieran for a silly little au I have

Hello! Sorry about the roughness of my blog, I mostly just used this one for lurking before I ever thought to get in on anything.

I’m Shallahi, I’m… around… Nanish-er, that’s 20 years old, I think? (Years, months, days, and hours are different where I’m from.) I’m human, Thaylen/Alethi, but I have longer eyebrows than most half-Thayleni. (Yes, long eyebrows is a weird thing here. I tend to wear them over my ears, if that’s a good image to use as a metric.) I’m from Kharbranth, also known as the City of Bells. I’m a Knight Radiant (something like a “Champion” for a smaller, less powerful being. I’m of the Sixth Order, a Lightweaver), a Worldhopper (a “Faller” with more agency in where they go, basically), a collector of stories and knowledge and a lover of food and adventure!

I use she/her, and by your standards of gender, I would be transfeminine. (I transitioned by accidentally taking in an entire lamp’s worth of Stormlight, so no need to worry about HRT access, thank goodness. It’s such a shame that others can’t just breathe in magic and—poof! Be properly aligned to their Spiritual aspect.)

I may say words that don’t make sense to you, or don’t fit in the context you’d use them in, that’s just a consequence of the mixing of my own vocabulary and knowledge that I took with me here, me learning new words and assuming their meaning, and the Connection tricks I use to help learn new languages.

I said I was a Worldhopper earlier; don’t worry, while yes I might steal away to Scadarial or elsewhere for a bit, I’m making this world with weak storms, static grass, and colourful fluffy creatures my home. Like Shinovar but with more colour and less ksenophobia!

Now for you, Snowflake!

Mmmmm…

Ah! I am called “Snowflake” or “Snowy,” (She/Her) and I am a Patternspren or Crypticspren. A spren is… mmmm… a small fragment of a God. Not your gods, mind you. I am bonded to Shallahi, who you have already heard from. This world is strange to us. There is no Shadesmar, no Cognitive Realm that we could find. This means that I am just a Pattern on a dress or other form of clothing. I am dictating my words to Shallahi. Mmm… unfeminine. (SH: Don’t listen to that stupid old book, it’s full of lies.) I like lies. You know this. (SH: Then why let those lies dictate your life?) Mmm… I am called Snowflake because that is how my Pattern looks. This is everything I can think to say.

I’m also partnered with three Pokemon:

• Svirak-Daughter-None, a Squackabilly (She/Her).

• Zeradin, a Blitzle (They/He).

• Zan, a Dwebble (He/Him).

//No proshippers, no TERFs, no NSFW stuff. I don’t really want drama, I just want to have fun. Oh, yeah, also, POTENTIAL COSMERE SPOILERS!

Wait...

I don't know if I posted this drawing of Lycan Quinn and Furret Kiki since I was busy Saturday...

[splat-dragon]

Red Dead Redemption 2 Characters: as Pokemon version 1

Please note: these were chosen due to the Pokedex entry. Shortly I will be posting a similar post where I pick based on the Pokemon lore, or appearance, or another reason which I will explain.

Dutch van Der Linde

"Honchkrow, the Big Boss Pokemon. It is merciless by nature. It is said that it never forgives the mistakes of its Murkrow followers."

Hosea Matthews

"Drampa, the Placid Pokemon. It has a compassionate personality, but if it is angered, it completely destroys its surroundings with its intense breath."

Arthur Morgan

"Lycanroc, the Wolf Pokemon. When properly raised from a young age, it will become a trustworthy partner that will absolutely never betray its Trainer."

Uncle

"Nosepass, the Compass Pokemon. Nosepass had been said to be completely unmoving, with its magnetic nose pointed due north. However, close observation has revealed that the Pokémon actually moves by a little over 3/8 of an inch every year."

Bill Williamson

"Snorlax, the Sleeping Pokemon. It is not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food every day. When it is done eating, it goes promptly to sleep."

Sean McGuire**

"Granbull, the Fairy Pokemon. It is actually timid and easily spooked. If attacked, it flails about to fend off its attacker."

Kieran Duffy

"Feebas, the Fish Pokemon. Feebas's fins are ragged and tattered from the start of its life. Because of its shoddy appearance, this Pokémon is largely ignored. It is capable of living in both the sea and in rivers."

Micah Bell

"Marshadow, the Gloomdweller Pokemon. It slips into the shadows of others and mimics their powers and movements. As it improves, it becomes stronger than those it's imitating."

Jack Marston

"Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokemon. As its energy, Togepi uses the positive emotions of compassion and pleasure exuded by people and Pokémon. This Pokémon stores up feelings of happiness inside its shell, then shares them with others."

BONUS:

Young! John Marston

"Tyrogue, the Scuffle Pokemon. It is always bursting with energy. To make itself stronger, it keeps on fighting even if it loses."

**big thanks to @famderlinde here! I originally had Granbull marked down for Lenny - unfortunately I do not have a very good grasp on his character, as I have not interacted with him much outside of the bar quest and in camp. In their reblog they mentioned Granbull fit Sean, and I agree a lot! Thanks dude! <3
