Knights

Tsukasa: Gallade. G.Rapidash. Swirlix. Leo: Gardevoir. Kingambit. Elgyem. Kricketune. Izumi: Kirlia. Clauncher. Bisharp. Roserade. Ritsu: Kirlia. Swoobat. Komala. Musharna. Arashi: Kirlia. Delcatty. Sylveon (shiny). 

Ralts line was the easy pick for Knights. They are both always ready to protect their trainer and pokemon around them and based on the whole concept of empathy and chivalry. Gardevoir’s Japanese name is Sirnight. Leo was the Knights' leader so I gave him Gardevoir which was introduced before Gallade.

Tsukasa is good at horseback riding so i gave him Galarian Rapidash. Tsukasa is really into the knights theme so the fairy horse works the best. Also, Galar is bri’ish region so it can work as a reference to Tsukasa’s english. Tsukasa likes sweets and snacks so Swirlix, the cotton candy pokemon, was a choice.

Kingambit is a reference to Chess and other Knights calling him “King”. Leo believes in aliens so I gave THE alien (not Ultra Beast) pokemon. Elgyem’s name is based on LGM (little green men). For Leo’s composer side I went with Kricketune. It’s the only music-based pokemon which fits “composer” rather than “performer”.

There’s no italian based pokemon dammit! Clauncher is a shrimp. Bisharp is a reference to Chess. Izumi is a model so I checked among Beauty and Lasses trainer classes. Budew line is one the common pokemon they use. And Roserade does feel like can be Izumi’s pokemon.

Swoobat was given as Woobat by Rei. Ritsu loves sleeping and napping so I went over pokemons who can learn Hypnosis, Yawn and Dream Eater. I picked two pokemon: Komala and Musharna. They both are Drowsing pokemon. Komala always sleeps and can cling to its trainer, like Ritsu’s clinginess. Musharna feeds on people’s dreams and constantly sleeps and dreams. Also, Ritsu does not like being disturbed from sleep and Musharna “can become a terrible grump should it be freshly roused from sleep”.

Sylveon became proclaimed THE trans icon as pokemon for both color palette and 1:7 female rate with “girly” appearance. Also, Sylveon evolves through affection which fits Arashi’s “big sister” role. 

Delcatty = Nyanko. I was torn between Mewoth, Glameow and Delcatty. Nyanko appears to be a Siamese cat which is Meowth based on, but it feels more like a stray cat. Glameow and Delcatty are more domestic cats. Delcatty looks more similar to Nyanko and more calm, then Glameow is spiteful.

Switch

Natsume: A.Raichu. Espeon. Both Meowstic. Hatenna. Tsumugi: Pikachu. Togekiss. Altaria.  Sora: Pikachu. Lucario. Emolga.

First Pikachu appearance! Alolan Raichu is the only electric/psychic type. Switch’s symbol is lighting and the main motif is magic. Hence electric/psychic type. Also Pikachu does fit Sora.

Natsume’s all into magic, spells and fortune-telling, so a full psychic-type team was a pick. Espeon was a first choice. Natsume has associations with cats and is said to have 2 pet cats. Espeon is most likely based on sphynx cats, bakeneko and nekomata and the most cat-like among all of eeveelutions. Similar to this was picked Meowstic. Hatenna is a witch hat.

Togekiss is left from ex-fine where he was a leader (his Togekiss has Super Luck ability instead of Serene Grace). Tsumugi’s main association is “bluebird of happiness” and first solo is named “Hummingbird”. Altaria is most likely based on bluebird of happiness for  The Blue Bird (L'Oiseau bleu) with japanese names referencing the character’s name, and Altaria’s category is Humming pokemon.

Sora’s synesthesia is described more like aura so I went for the aura pokemon, Lucario. Sora’s name means “sky” and “midair” and good at acrobatics and parkour. Emolga is a flying type which can learn move as “Acrobatics”. It's a cute creature which can be a troublemaker.

MaM

Madara: Braviary. Bouffalant. Kangaskhan.

MaM's style cowboy and sheriff, so the american pokemon, Braviary, was a choice. He’s aggressively protective of his friends and will protect others even if his life is threatened. And now guess which was I describing, Madara or Braviary (hint: both). Bouffalant = volcano bison. Madara calls himself “Mama” and encourages others to do so, so mother pokemon was a pick. I didn't mean to give him a full normal type team, but it happened and i don’t know what to do with it.

Special for Princess!

Esu: G. Rapidash. Minior (indigo). Kanna: G. Ponyta. F.Meowstic. Yume: G. Ponyta. Gothita. Amaura. Raika: G. Ponyta. Archeops (shiny).

They’re new and we don’t know much about them so it was hard. I was ready to skip them and just say “there’s too little information about them”. But it has been half-year since their introduction and multiple stories (events, scouts, idol stories) so it’s too late to pull out that card. Any of their producers, I will try my best.

All white/pink/violet princess-like have already been taken by other units (Hatterene and Gardevoir). And then i noticed… logo has unicorn on it what looks like Galarian Rapidash! I’m saved!

Esu’s fs costume is themed around stars and blue. I was to give him Starmie but it’s purple. That color of Minior is different from Kanata’s Minior.

Female Meowstic has a similar color palette. Kanna’s image is being stoic, calculated and kinda emotionless. “-stic” in name may be from “stoic” due to their generally emotionless facial expression.

Yume’s fs costume has a lot of ribbons and his original signature had a ribbon on it. Gothta’s line has a lot of ribbons too. Yume means winter so I went with Amaura also for cuteness.

Raika is Sakuma's distant relative and instead of bats he’s harpy. And there’s no harpy pokemons. So just bird. Archeops is the most “weirdest” one and its feather has a similar color and is as wild as Raika’s hair. He can have shiny. As a treat. Also, it’s said Raika is from a facility(..?) and Archeops is a revived fossil.

「霧雨の国へようこそ」 ☔

[the whole character creation and design process, and the WIPs for this illustration are up on my Patreon and Kofi!]

SO, this is what I've been up to (side from, you know. Dealing with covid). I won't be sharing a lot about them here, but the gist is: OCs band set in Bandori-verse, which I called "drizzle/LAND" (you just say normally as if the / wasn't there, it's just a stylistic choice haha). Members from left to right are AME, YUKI and ARASHI. 

This is their first "official" / finished illustration, and I thought it was kinda cute and symbolic that their first painting is their "debut album" haha <3 If you guys know or follow me for a while, you already know which real band inspired them, hehe. And if you are Brazilian, you will probably catch the couple of BR easter eggs as well! :P

[japanesedoramaandanimelover91]

Today on 21.30 p.m. on japanese time and on 14.30 on european time on "TBS" will be airing the new season of japanese programme "The Yakai". The "TBS" program "Sakurai-Ariyoshi THE Yakai", hosted by Arashi's Sakurai Sho and talent Ariyoshi Hiroiki. First guests will be Fujigaya Taisuke(Kis-My-Ft2), Tamamori Yuta(Kis-My-Ft2), Idols Miki Fujimoto, Fumito Kawaii, model Miyu Ikeda, comedians Emiko Kaminuma, Natsu Ando("Maple and Donatsu"), Koji Yamamoto, Seki Futoshi("Time Machine 3-go") actress Nao Honda, figure skater Marin Honda, actor Shinobu Hasegawa.

The first guest, titled "A Night Out for Workaholics Who Have Started to Value Their Private Lives," is the west's talk queen, Kaminuma Emiko. She will be doing an intimate location shoot, something she has had almost no experience with before, and will be generous in revealing some surprising details about her private life. Also, in the studio, a kitchen reminiscent of that long-running cooking show will appear. Kaminuma, whose dream is to open a restaurant in the future, will be showing off some of her specialty dishes.

Meanwhile, Fujigaya Taisuke("Kis-My-Ft2") dreams of buying a camper van. When he visits a dealership on location, he makes an unexpectedly expensive purchase... Furthermore, in "A Night Party for People Who Are Busy at Midnight," we follow Tamamori Yuta ("Kis-My-Ft2") as he goes about his (secret) midnight activities, which is hard to believe for an idol.

Honda Marin, who turned professional figure skater this year, shows us her surprising midnight life in her home, which is being shown for the first time. Furthermore, curry-loving actor Nao makes an appearance at the super popular Midnight Curry, where you can go when you just can't help but have a craving for curry in the middle of the night. Each of them will reveal the values ​​they hold in their private lives, but will they be able to sympathize with them? Or will there be a gap between their values ​​and those of the rest of the world?

I made memes!!

Here are some 7Seeds memes I made for the 6.5 people in this fandom. I really love this story (it’s everything to me) so I hope this reaches someone who loves these little idiots the same way I do! I only covered a few characters here and I’d love to make some more for the rest of the little idiots!

ENJOY!

Disclaimer: as of making this post I am on chapter 113 of the manga

[taptroupe]

i enjoyed a series called 7 seeds this week. it is a josei survival epic that was in serialization from 2001 to 2017. i think that fact is just as incredible as the story itself.

saving others, being saved, hurting each other, growing together, love and death, a lovely story set in a post-apocalyptic japan... it was a very warm story about the best and worst in humanity. by the end of it i had cried several times and basically knew almost every character's name by heart. it was just like a young adult novel i would have had to read in high school, like lord of the flies, hachet, or divergent, although i didn't enjoy those... but perhaps it reminds me of ender's game most of all? in a weird way.

well, that's all i can say about it for now. what a lovely series...

(if this has piqued your interest hmu if you need trigger or content warnings tho. it gets heavy)

Today’s Maid of the Day: Yayoi Fushimi from Natsu no Arashi!

[stackslip]

love how in the story the characters are realizing where they are and that the land they knew is gone and so are their families and friends and they're in immense anguish over that fact. and then you have tamura's little author notes about how she had to go to the dentist and recommends that people brush their teeth regularly

[cosmic-nebula356]

Forgot to add👀

But YIPPEEE got to draw his hair down!✨

If it helps for the translation, Hana means Flower, and Arashi means Storm

So combined with their names, it should translate to:

🌸Haru Hana = Spring Flower

❄️Fuyu Arashi = Winter Storm

As for the headcannoned last name for Aki and Natsu:

🍁Aki Kaze = Autumn Breeze

☀️Natsu Taiyō = Summer Sun
