amoral space socialite lizzie and her smug space pirate husband. I think they bail eachother out of the consequences of their actions like all the time

My Wips have Wips at this point but this is another Hanukkah present. Early on in my experimenting with crochet (like 2018 ish) I had made a waffle stitch cowl that my mum really liked but unfortunately got lost when we were moving house. I don't have any interest in remaking that particular cowl but this broken rib is similar and easy enough to knit while reading/not paying attention.

My mum's only request was that it was long enough to go around her neck twice and that it matches her jacket (a light plum colour). Together we picked out Hobbii's Fantasy Jumbo in Japanese Maples which matches her coat well enough and is extremely soft and easy to work with.

I cast on 33 stitches yesterday provisionally and will knit in pattern until it's long enough/I'm almost out of yarn before kitchenering the ends together and hoping I don't!! Twist!!

fuck it i'm reposting milo's ref sheet to add a little bio + full story summary

milo elloway (they/he)

a casual trainer who works at a quilt shop in nimbasa

a pretty lighthearted + easygoing guy, on the quiet side + shy, but is also goofy + enjoys making people laugh. they can be awkward at times, but try to make up for it with politeness + sincerity

❤️: hard rock + metal, quilting + sewing, horror fiction, rpgs, casual battling, retro aesthetics

❌: driving, cooking, large bodies of water, waking up early, bitter foods, the competitive circuit

more notes can be found on their toyhouse profile

and now, story summary under the cut

so!

as it says, milo's originally from (an) earth! they fell asleep on the metro on their way back home from visiting friends, and woke up on the nimbasa subway. the earth they're from doesn't have pokemon, even as a franchise, so they've got NO idea wtf is going on

ingo + emmet find them incredibly confused + speaking no known language with a phone map that doesn't match the world, rightly figure maybe dimensional shenanigans are about, and take them to the interpol. while a case is opened up for milo, the nimbasa trio adopts them as a sort of interdimensional exchange student, showing them around, and then helping them get their footing in the pokemon world when the interpol isn't able to find a way to get them back home.

milo has to grapple with the language barrier (learning galarian from scratch) and culture shock for a while, plus mounting guilt as they slowly realize they prefer the pokemon world to their earth, but have no way to let their loved ones know what happened and that they're okay (they eventually come to terms with it, but it takes a couple years)

in between language lessons, they hang out a lot with new friends (the nimbasa trio + a whole host of ocs i am slowly drawing), and pretty much everyone encourages them to give training a try. so they do! they do their own little gym run, and earn a few badges before tapping out and heading back to nimbasa, content with being a mid-strength trainer.

as they get further settled in, they pick quilting back up, and after showing a few projects to the local quilt shop, get hired there! they make friends with many old ladies + the shop sewaddle and gain a reputation amongst the regulars for having a good color sense.

there's a good stretch of just peaceful life for them, happily working, getting to know ingo + emmet + elesa + various ocs better as their language skills improve, and traveling around the region in their spare time. they even nearly start building a romance with ingo, but this gets interrupted when the interpol find another person from earth in hoenn, and milo ventures abroad to meet them + see the region! they extend the trip to see a little bit of johto, but that gets cut short when ingo goes missing.

it takes over a year, but milo + emmet manage to get to hisui with the help of a celebi, and are able to find ingo! but, arceus is miffed at their meddling and removes celebi from the premises, stranding the three of them in the past for a couple years. during this time, the events of legends arceus happen, with milo + emmet joining ingo as npcs. ingo does what he does in canon, emmet helps laventon with the pokedex + manages the training grounds with ingo, and milo apprentices at the clothier's in jubilife!

i'm still working out how the three of them factor into the canon storyline of pla and how big a role i want them to play, but they for sure join the wider party of people supporting akari. and, post-rift-fixing, milo does get together with ingo :]

that's everything i've written out so far (my document is so fucking big. this is as concise a post as i could make it lmao), but i'm considering bringing in elesa with jirachi for the post-game of pla, and i do intend to get everyone back to the future

if you read all this, god damn, i appreciate it!! if you found this interesting and want more, here's the tag i've got going for this au!

[nicepersondisorder]

[charlottedabookworm]

hotd au where rhaenyra/harwin/laenor are stuck in a timeloop that starts after luke's birth and ends when they're dead and canon is actually their third attempt and the three of them wake back up in the red keep and rhae is just like-

fuck it. we're going on holiday to essos. laenor, you're going to seduce daemon. i'll seduce laena. harwin will easily seduce them both. we'll bring them back and make sure laena doesn't die in childbed and then maybe they'll hesitate to crown my brother with so many adult dragonriders supporting my claim

and if that doesn't work then next time we'll just move out there permantly

yes laenor your mother and father can visit. no my father cannot

fun potential verse ideas for JL (bc the cool kids r doing stuff)

imprisoned - rather than slipping away after her battle with JY, she is found unconscious in the rubble. she is imprisoned in the shackling prison as just another marastruck. and while the higher ups believed she would not last much longer given her sharp decline, she was persisted for centuries, unable to die, floating between prophetic delusions and startling coherency. her physical transformation is stunted and there have been debates among the judges about whether they should continue to find a means of execution or study her condition.

imprisoned v 2 - rather than keeping her locked up, she is given the xueyi treatment (forcibly or in lieu of execution). Not because she is remorseful or deserving of mercy but because she can still be useful. they're able to suppress some of her memories and transfer her conscious into an ingenium body while her physical form remains sealed within the shackling prison, bound in such a way to prevent her consciousness from returning. hundreds of years have passed and she remains the lord's favorite hunting dog.

abomination - it's one thing to know the ambrosial dragon's weak points, it's another to strike it without incidence. the fight is messy and mb she's devoured, only to absorb part of the dragon into her already weakened body. she emerges torn between the hunt and the abundance, an undying abomination that seems singularly focused on hunting down others of THEIR kind.

abomination v2 - jingliu someone manages a direct confrontation with either an emanator of abundance or the abundance themselves and loses the fight. but it's against THEIR nature to kill so jingliu is granted her life. but she comes out Wrong, possessed by the abundance, stuck somewhere in a state of partial transformation unlike the marastruck. the leopard now forced to embody the deer.
