do u still have more hc's about the champions, old or the next gen ones
Yeah I have cause like I've been thinking abt Dawn and Cynthia in the next gen champs au cause like,, yeah y'know in my hcs, before Cynthia, Palmer was the Sinnoh Champion, and when Cynthia finally took that title from him, he didn't even give her any tips or anything, didn't tell her how grueling it truly was, didn't tell her how lonely it was, how isolating it was, how he didn't try to help her despite being able to do so, how it's going to fuck her up 
And Cynthia resented him for it 
So when she heard how Dawn and Barry wanted to be Champions as well, she made it her main goal to never let Dawn win. No, not Dawn. Dawn was a kind girl who doesn't deserve to be isolated from everyone else, to be placed upon a pedestal she didn't want, to be given the illusion of freedom of an open cage, only to fall face first to ground the moment she tries to fly 
No, Dawn doesn't deserve that, but Palmer's kid does. 
Oh, how Cynthia wanted to be petty for once, she's been kind and patient to everyone long enough that it costed her her own health, her own stability, Palmer's kid should go through the same thing, it's only fair, it's only right, oh the twisted irony of it, coming full circle, that she'll be giving the Champion title to the son of the man she loathed since she was young 
But Barry couldn't beat her. Even tho she wasn't trying too hard, he couldn't beat her. And so, it's Dawn's turn to try.
Now, as the new Champions are sharing their experiences with how they got their champion titles, Dawn realized just how much she truly fought Cynthia for that Champion title
Unlike the rest of her fellow champions, it took her literal months to beat Cynthia, it's almost as if Cynthia didn't want her to win
Your honour do you see my vision for this cjdmdj like Dawn realizing now just how desperate Cynthia looked during their battles, how desperate she actually was, as if she doesn't wanna lose,, or rather, she doesn't wanna lose to her.

Saint-Just's letter to Camille Desmoulins in (May?) 1790
He mentions the Assemblée de Chauny, which took place in May 1790 according to this site.
ORIGINAL FRENCH
Monsieur,
Si vous étiez moins occupé, j'entrerais dans quelques détails sur l'Assemblée de Chauny, où se sont trouvés des hommes de toutes trempes et de tout calibre. Malgré ma minorité, j'ai été reçu. Le sieur Gellé, notre confrère au bailliage de Vermandois, m'avait dénoncé. On l'a chassé par les épaules. Nous avons vu là vos compatriotes MM. Saulce, Violette et autres, dont j'ai reçu beaucoup de politesse. Il est inutile de vous dire (car vous n'aimez pas la sotte louange) que votre pays s'enorgueillit de vous.
Vous avez su avant moi que le département était définitivement à Laon. Est-ce un bien, est-ce un mal pour l'une ou l'autre ville ? Il me semble que ce n'est qu'un point d'honneur entre les deux villes, et les points d'honneur sont très peu de chose presqu'en tout genre.
Je suis monté à la tribune, j'ai travaillé dans le dessein de porter le jour dans la question du chef-lieu : mais je ne suivis rien ; je suis parti chargé de compliments comme l'âne de reliques, ayant cependant cette confiance qu'à la prochaine législature je pourrai être des vôtres à l'Assemblée nationale.
Vous m'aviez promis de m'écrire, mais je prévois bien que vous n'en aurez pas eu le loisir. Je suis libre à l'heure qu’il est. Retournerai-je auprès de vous ou resterai-je parmi les sots aristocrates de ce pays-ci ?
Les paysans de mon canton étaient venus, alors de mon retour de Chauny, me chercher à Manicamp. Le comte de Lauraguais fut fort étonné de cette cérémonie rusti-patriotique. Je les conduisis tous chez lui pour le visiter. On nous dit qu'il est aux champs et moi cependant je fis comme Tarquin ; j'avais une baguette avec laquelle je coupai la tête à une fougère qui se trouva près de moi, sous les fenêtres du château, et sans mot dire nous fines volte-face.
Adieu, mon cher Desmoulins. Si vous avez besoin de moi, écrivez-moi. Vos derniers numéros sont pleins d'excellentes choses. Apollon et Minerve ne vous ont point encore abandonné, ne vous en déplaise. Si vous avez quelque chose à faire dire à vos gens de Guise, je les reverrai dans les huit jours à Laon où j'irai faire un tour pour affaires particulières.
Adieu encore, gloire, paix, et rage patriotique. Saint-Just.
Je vous lirai ce soir, car je ne vous parle de vos derniers numéros que par ouï-dire.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I found a translation here, which I used as a basis for mine, but there are some mistakes I corrected and I made some stylistic changes.
Monsieur,
If you were less busy, I would give you more details about the Assembly of Chauny, where one can find men of considerable calibre and quality. I was received in spite of my minority. Sieur Gellé, our compatriot from the bailliage of Vermandois had denounced me. He was grabbed by the shoulders and thrown out. We saw your compatriots, M. Saulce, M. Violette and others, by whom I was received with great courtesy. There is no point telling you (because you don't like foolish praise) that your region is proud of you.
You have known before I did that the département is definitely fixed at Laon. Is that good or is that bad for one or other of the towns? It seems to me that it is no more than a point of honour between the two towns and points of honour are of little importance.
I took the tribune; I worked with the intention of carrying the [order of the] day on the question of the chef-lieu: but I did not follow on; I left, weighed down with compliments like the donkey burdened with relics (1), having however the confidence that at the next legislature I could be among you at the National Assembly.
You had promised to write to me, but I can well anticipate that you had no such leisure. I am free as of now. Should I return to you or remain amongst the foolish aristocrats in this part of the country?
The peasants from my canton came, when I returned from Chauny, to look for me at Manicamp. The Comte de Lauraguais was greatly astonished by this rustico-patriotic ceremony. I led them all to his home for a visit. They said that he was out in the fields and I, however, did like Tarquin, I had a cane [baguette (2)] with which I cut off the head of a nearby fern, beneath the windows of the castle, and without a word we left and returned.
Farewell, my dear Desmoulins. If you have need of me, write to me. Your latest issues are full of excellent things. Apollo and Minerva have not yet abandoned you, whether you like it or not. If you have anything to say to your people in Guise, I will be seeing them again within the next eight days in Laon where I will be going for particular matters.
Farewell again, glory, peace and patriotic rage.
Saint-Just
I will read you this evening, since I only tell you about your recent issues from hearsay.
(1) This is a reference to a fable by La Fontaine.
(2) The baguette (direct translation: stick - the word existed before the bread style!) was a very thin cane, very fashionable to carry at the time. You can see some examples here. I'm not sure how he managed to cut a plant with it though... I've never tried to do that lol. So I don't know if it implies it was a sword-cane or if it was thin enough to do it on its own.
He compares his gesture to that of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus who, according to Livy, silently cut off the heads of the tallest poppies as a demonstration to what his son had to do.
(This is, by the way, the scene we see reproduced at the beginning of Saint-Just et la force des choses, and why they changed the fern to poppies - so the allusion would be clearer.)

Jackson Storm, Lightning McQueen and Cruz Ramirez. A sketch for my current story. (Cars 3 AU ‘From this moment, everything will change’) (Really not more than a sketch. Don’t judge those guys on the picture or the window that should be a net XD)
Context: They’re training at the beach with Jackson’s car, cause Lightning didn’t have his own next-gen yet. Jackson got involved, although he didn’t want to. Now that he has to spend time with Lightning and Cruz (who’s Jackson’s half sister), he starts to rethink his mean attitude cause he’s basically just mean, because Ray (his father) raised him that way. Like Harv did with Lightning back then.
Lightning is now devastated because he has trouble with learning new skills (how the new car works). Doc suspects it comes from Lightning’s bad crash where he had a head injury. (He took a next-gen car back then but didn’t know anything about it which made him loose control)
The scene: (Jackson’s POV)
"Uh... you alright?" Jackson asked with a hint of awkwardness in his voice, hands in his pockets.
Cruz shot him a glare but Jackson mouthed the word 'what'.
"No," McQueen answered quietly.
"Hey, everything’s going to be fine, Champ," Jackson said, wondering where the words came from. It wasn't a bad thing not to always look for arguments - to just say what he thought.
"I'm not a champ," McQueen answered quietly.
Okay, now that's confusing.
"Oh come on. You're a six-time world champion," Jackson said a bit annoyed- cause did he forget?
"Seven," Cruz corrected him.
"Whatever."
"This is my last chance. If I don't win the race... that's it. I have to retire."
Jackson hadn't expected that. He didn't know it was that bad and he definitely didn't know what to say. So he still stood there, staring at Champ.
"You can win," Cruz tried to cheer him up. "That was just a setback with the crash because you hadn't had any practice."
"But now I don't seem to get it either," Champ said, frustrated.
"It's not that hard," Jackson said. "You really just hadn't had enough practice before the crash. It was reckless to take the car."
Champ huffed. "Reckless..." he mumbled. "I didn't want to be history already."
The words hit Jackson like a slap in the face. He had told him that and suddenly he felt strange. A very strange feeling came over him. Was he to blame for the accident? Maybe the blame really was on his side. Guilty - he had never felt like that before.
Lightning was still sobbing quietly and Jackson bit his lip. It was getting cold and when a gust of wind came he shivered.
Seven-time world champion looked miserable. He buried his face in his elbow. Cruz was still sitting next to him but didn't know what to say. She looked worried.
Jackson didn't feel well. He moved away from the two of them a bit and took out his cell phone. He looked for a contact his father had given him. More or less for press reasons but now he needed it.

just saw your opinions on the champs, So what's your opinions on the rivals you know?
I played all mainline games from Gen 6 to Gen 9 except for the Diamond/Pearl remakes, so we have the XY-Gang, Brendan, Hau, Gladion, the 3 Galar rivals and Nemona.
Obviously I am very biased and love Hau and Gladion the most out of the bunch, but when it comes to the ROLE of being an ACTUAL Rival, I'd say Nemona's the most competent out of the bunch. I like that she's already a Champion-class trainer when you start out and that she's just incredibly eager to watch you grow, sensing a worthy opponent in you. She's so obsessed with battles and your progress as a trainer that you can't tell if she's crushing on you or if she is just THAT obsessed with finally getting a rival on her skill-level.
Brendan I don't really have an opinion on, the XY-Gang I think we all agree on is the most forgettable set of rivals, but I don't hate them either. They're just there.
I know y'all gonna behead me for this but I'm not a huge fan of the Gen 8 rivals. Hop just makes me SAD. I wish they would've handled his story differently, because his decision to become a Professor in the end feels like a sad plan B rather than him actually discovering a PASSION for the profession, there was no build-up for it. He keeps losing battles and you feel sorry for him because YOU are the cause of him basically giving up his dream of becoming Champion. Him changing course to become a Professor doesn't feel like a happy conclusion and more like him having no other option but to give up his original goal.
Bede is a PIECE OF SHIT but in a GOOD WAY. But the most frustrating part about him is that he HAS an interesting story going on - but you're just not a part of that. SWSH constantly manages to make you feel like an NPC. You are not involved in the conflicts of the characters. Bede fucks up all on his own and pays the price and you're just kind of a bystander. His story keeps unfolding OFF-SCREEN and we just get to see tiny scraps of it and it made me SO FREAKING FRUSTRATED, you're not really a part of his story so you don't even feel like you're his rival at all! And lastly...Marnie. OOF...here we go...I'M SO SORRY YOU GUYS, BUT- Marnie is probably the most boring rival out of them all. There's just nothing to her. I CANNOT for the life of me understand why people love her so much. I've seen arguments of her having a "great storyline" but that's like saying "oh I REALLY enjoyed THIS particular crumb of salted cracker" that is the entire storyline of SWSH. It's paperthin. It holds NO substance. She wants to bring attention to her hometown, good for her. But her ambition didn't grab me, her popularity ingame surrounding Team Yell didn't really make sense to me and her highlight of her arc is...cheering for you. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Not to mention her outfit is just as much of a clash of concepts as her character. It's like they couldn't make up their mind if she should be the next cute Lillie in a sweet pink dress or the next edgy Gladion in a leather jacket, so they did BOTH but WITHOUT IT ACTUALLY BEING REFLECTED IN HER PERSONALITY or it being INTERESTING SHE'S JUST CUTE-LOOKING AND THAT'S IT THERE I SAID IT
Oh my god everybody's gonna hate me SO MUCH for this opinion oH GOD - I've been holding these thoughts in for TOO LONG, I HAVE to let them out now Like NO OFFENSE to anyone liking her - SWSH definitely has some of the best character designs in terms of trainers and despite having almost NOTHING to offer story-wise, these designs still managed to carry the entire generation somehow, even with the majority of characters showing little to no personality due to the poor writing. I think people are just attached to an IDEA of what she COULD have been rather than what she actually is ingame.
And the same goes for me with Guzma tbh because I'm more attached to the version I made up rather than what is actually reflected in the game LMAO I took the crumbs I got and RAN WITH THEM

Can we sit and talk about some of the scenes in cars 3 that i liked?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This proves my past theories that they're pretty friendly with each other- past all of the New Gen's hard exteriors, they are just a bunch of goofballs... hence me giving snippets and shenanigans I think they do! Mainly following-
Cruz Ramirez.
Chase Racelott.
Bubba Wheelhouse.
Ryan Laney.
Daniel Swervez.
Lightning Mcqueen.
Jackson Storm.
Cam Spinner.
Tim Treadless.
And vague mentions of the other New Gens!
Welcome to my new series:
Next-Gen shenanigans.
SCENE 1:
With the races finishing off for the night, all the press and security lined up for the interview for Jackson Storm, being hosted by Darrell Cartrip and Bob Cutlass, was set to begin.
With the press' camera shutters flashing and illuminating the small stage that the 3 cars parked upon, you could see Jackson's simple, but practically iconic, smile shining through as he then looked at Darrell, who had begun to talk. "Alrighty then, let's get onto the details about tonight's race - how's it feeling to be in the top lead so far, Storm? I mean, let's be fair here. It ain't much of a surprise, but it's gotta feel good!" He let out a hearty laugh as the crowd followed. Jackson glanced away for a moment, feigning humbleness. "Come on, let's cut these guys some slack. Without those legends, someone's gotta pick up the pace. If it isn't them, then we all already know who it'll be." He chuckled, letting the camera's shine illuminate his livery. But as Bob had gone on to ask another question, no one had a single clue what was happening right behind the stage.
"Guys, are you sure about this?! He'll kill us!" Cruz stated, watching her familiar racers begin to absolutely ruin the interview.
"Cruz, come on, relax! I think this one's deserved for that stunt he pulled earlier." Chase rolled his eyes, looking up at the string that led up to the side of the stage. "Plus, it'll be fun. If he's such a tough guy, this won't do a thing." Danny let out a laugh, holding another string as Ryan held the last one. "Let's be honest- he's had this coming all week." Bubba blinked from the sidelines, wanting to be involved enough to see, but avoid most punishment. "Whatever happens, it's on you guys."
"Oh shut it Bubba."
Lightning was lucky enough to be passing by as they were doing this, quickly rolling up and startling them. "What are you guys doing?"
"...nothing."
Lightning stared at them, unamused. "You guys are ridiculous, I know what you're doing."
Ryan nearly dropped his string in surprise, causing the others to whisper-yell at him. "Don't tell our crew chiefs!"
Lightning stared, before laughing. "What? No! I'll help you guys. This stuff's always fun. 'Scuse me, Cruz."
Cruz blinked and watched. How did they get here? Why are they planning this now? She doesn't want to get in trouble- is Tex gonna be mad? She hopes not. But she did as he said and quickly reversed.
Lightning easily passed by, rolling to the side of the stage, already knowing he was visible and knew what would happen. Darrell quickly saw him and called him up, causing him to grin and roll up the ramp. This did not amuse Jackson but kept it played for the press. "Champ, good to see you." "Storm." They nodded in acknowledgment.
While Lightning went on to sabotage the interview, the others had prepared for the best possible moment.
While Jackson was facing toward the 2 interviewers, Lightning was lucky to get a side glance at the racers, who peaked over and quickly held up a tire, telling him to go.
He quickly moved himself to look at Jackson. "Hey, Storm, your crew chief's callin' you!" He got the racer's attention, quickly reversing down the ramp, letting the #20 begin to turn, and looking to the side of the ramp, wondering why Ray was calling him mid-interview.
He wasn't given enough time to even shout as he saw the bright liveries peeking out from the edge of the stage before he was practically blinded.
All of the racers laughed as he was practically shot at by some sort of light adhesive, causing him to shut his eyes. Right after, he could feel something cover him, and to add on, as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the pop and the sudden cold cover his hood from what he could only assume was extinguisher agent. What did he hear right after?
The cackling of the racers he knew all too well, and the following of the crowd.
"Hey, Storm! You look good in pink, man!" Bubba laughed as Jackson shook the foam off of him, revealing his newly coated livery, now covered in bright pink glitter.
Lightning offered a wheel bump to Chase, before hearing the furious racer.
"MCQUEEN!"
"Uh oh."
"GO GO GO-"
Danny could hardly yell out past his laughing, and right after drifted around and sped off, causing the other 5 racers to skid off right after them, Cruz hesitating and meeting eyes with the furious Jackson.
"CRUZ, MOVE!"
"Oh- OH- NO NO NO I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!-" She yelled as she quickly reversed and drifted around, racing right up to the rest of them, Jackson right behind them as they all cackled.
Cam and a few of the other racers sitting behind the pits with their cans of oil had been chatting, Rich sitting next to him as Tim sat in front of them with J.D. and Harvey beside him. "Hey, did you guys see where Ryan and the other morons went?" "Nope. Haven't seen them since this afternoon- said they had something to go do."
Tim hummed as he took a quick sip of Nitroade before hearing a faint noise of the squealing of tires and loud laughing and yelling. Stopping, he squinted as he saw a few lightly illuminated liveries. "...Oh no..."
This caused the others to look at him before looking turning to where he was looking. Poor Cam didn't even get a chance before getting his can of oil splattered all over him and seeing a fleeing Cruz try to regain her treading. "I'm so sorry - I'll buy you another!" She panicked, hearing the other racers laugh at him before the rest of her friends passed them. They didn't even get much of a chance before seeing Jackson speed by and seeing his glitter covered livery, and that made them shift their attention and laugh at him and the small peices of foam still flying off of him.
...it was a long night.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
OK THIS TOOK ME FOREVER BUT I LOVE THEM SO MUCH 😭 they're such cuties. Hope you had a lovely day today! I'm going to be offline for a little, don't know when I'll be back!
This was in fact not proofread- let me know of any mistakes!! I am currently leaving the country so I'm on the road right now.
Bye!! ♡

Gonna need a good one to start off with, I don't have one so here's the next best thing
The Gen 2 Protagonist's actual name is Ethan, however he didn't think that would make a very good champion name.
He thought back to Red and Green, the previous champs, and decided the best way to one up them was to name himself after the best colour, Gold.

My most completely made up head canon (as in it is based on NOTHING but my imagination because there is truly nothing to refute it or support it lol) is that James Sirius Potter ends up with Viktor Krum's daughter. I like the idea of her being the eldest sibling too. Like the way I imagine it James follows in Ginny's footsteps with professional Quidditch, and legit becomes the equivalent of Jordan idek. He's considered the GOAT. (TBH I just love the idea of Harry slowly becoming relaxed with the reality of fame since Ginny becomes famous and then eventually so does his son. And he is so proud of both of them. Also, the Potters becoming Quidditch royalty? YES.). And anyways when James Sirius finally settles down as an adult - maybe mid 30s - it is with....Viktor Krum's daughter. Who doesn't play Quidditch herself but loves it, grew up with it, AND grew up with a super famous dad as well SO she is chill and unphased with fame and gossip which is why her and James hit it off and can connect so well. Basically two nepo-babies in love lol. And Harry and Krum becoming in laws and sharing grandbabies, I kind of love the idea. 😭
That's so cute!
I love the idea of Harry staying close with Fleur (well Fleur is family, so of course they are close) and Viktor after the war and they bond as triwizard champs and have a cute little friendship
JSP falling in love with Viktor's daughter is nice!
In my Next Gen stories, JSP is with Neville and Hannah's daughter (who I named Eleanor Augusta Longbottom because I don't see Neville who suffered so much living up to his father's memory naming his kids Frank or Alice)

I don't have space to fill out the meme template but here you go- Gen X Cat Mom's concert history.
Not gonna lie, it's not impressive. I spent most of my life being so broke that shows just weren't in the budget. Also, about half of the artists I would've liked to have seen in concert wouldn't come to Oklahoma City. The ones that did were just so pricey, or my mom wasn't okay with me going unaccompanied (the Cure came while I was in high school, and she was not a fan.) Once I got older, I was still pretty much perpetually broke.
1. FIRST CONCERT: Paul McCartney, Dallas TX 1990. My mom, my brother, mom's delightful friend Monica and I drove from Oklahoma City to Dallas and had an absolute blast. Mom was such a McCartney fangirl- one of her most endearing traits. I believe she saved for the whole trip for quite a while (we were POOR. Like, section 8 housing/food stamps/other welfare poor.)
2. LAST CONCERT: Outlaw Fest, Mansfield MA July 2024. Killer lineup- Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Bob Dylan, and Lukas Nelson filling in for Willie, who was sitting this one out on doctor's orders. Lukas held it down like a champ. Great show.
3. WORST CONCERT: Vince Gill, Oklahoma City OK 1994 (the music was fine, but I was so sick that I spent a lot of time in the bathroom. My mom was worried about me, but otherwise had a good time. (She loved Vince Gill, and I'm pretty sure she got the ticket for my brother who couldn't make it for some reason.)
4. LOUDEST CONCERT: New Kids On the Block, Oklahoma City OK 1991 (I remember nothing but the noise and being so overstimulated. I lost interest in NKOTB soon after, when I discovered the Cure and the B-52's.)
5. BEST CONCERT: They Might Be Giants, Lawrence KS 1997 (drove from OKC to Lawrence with a couple that I believe I met through the old IRC TMBG mailing list. Their names escape me, but they were so nice. I met Graham Maby- he was such a sweetheart. He offered us a hotel room since they were about to hit the road, but I don't think it was his to offer so we ended up at a different motel.)
6. SEEN THE MOST: I haven't seen any artist in concert more than once. I've had tickets to TMBG twice since 1997 (2015 in OKC and 2023 in Tulsa). Missed 2015 because my request for time off was denied (I lived 3 hours away at the time, this would've been an overnight trip, and my boss was a spiteful jerk). Missed 2023 due to illness.
7. MOST SURPRISING: the White Stripes (they were good but I wasn't sure how I felt about the opening act. Also, it was much more low key than I expected an act like the White Stripes to play- SRO, not all that well attended.)
8. HAPPY I GOT TO SEE: Willie Nelson, Outlaw Fest 2023 (Xfinity Center has rules about smoking in the venue but a lot of folks didn't seem too concerned about following them.)
9. WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN: the Monkees in the 80s. They came to Oklahoma City in 1987 but my mom just couldn't afford it. We were both sad tbh. (Again, we were super broke. Society was not kind to single moms back then. Not much seems to have changed tbh.)
10. NEXT CONCERT: They Might Be Giants, Boston, 12/14/2024 (I splurged on decent seats. I'm really looking forward to it.)

what are the next gen champions dynamics with each other be? would Iris and Hau miss the old champions?
Yeah ofc Iris and Hau misses the old champs during meetings hahah but hey, y'know, they already know it's bound to happen soon enough, and hey not like they don't contact each other anymore, the old champs still message them and such, checking in to see if they're doing okay with the new champs
As for dynamics
•It's honestly just Calem being the next gen champs' last braincell
Iris just goes "okay, there's a threat in Ransei and they're asking for our help, how can we stop this new evil organization and make sure they won't do a Neo Plasma"
May goes "murder"
Silver nods, "yeah murder"
Calem looks at them. Then Dawn spoke, "I third that, murder."
Nemona exclaims, "arson!"
Hilbert goes "yeah that's good for plan B."
Gloria pouts at that, "why not arson for plan A?"
Calem looks at Florian, hoping he at least have some sense in him, but Florian just nods all "yeah, arson would be great for plan A."
Calem looks at Hau, hoping at least the most chill champ would not agree, then he just "can we at least have snacks before we go?"
Calem just fucking gives up lmfao
•Silver and May and Hilbert would be at each other's throats I just know it. Like, their pride is smth else man, unlike Nemona and Dawn who still know good sportsmanship, these three would play dirty if allowed. May would call out Rayquaza, Hilbert would call out Reshiram, Silver doesn't need no legendary, he believes he could beat them without one, even taunts them saying they rely on legendaries to win, that triggered an actual fist fight between them lmao. Dawn placed bets. Florian lost, his bet was on Silver.
•Hau once said that Iris looked like Lance especially with the cape and how she's like the pseudo leader of the champs now. Homegirl did not emotionally recover from it lmfaooo
•okay was no one gonna fucking tell me Dawn has a slight lisp in Pokemon Masters???? I had to find that shit out myself, like really found out just now cause I need to hear their voices for my hcs
-which now means Dawn has a lisp in my hcs bc it's adorable and technically it's canon in PokeMas
-i know homegirl is a bit insecure by it when she first started meeting w the others, but y'know, no one made fun of her, and she started talking more and more
-if any of the other Champions finds out abt anyone making fun of Dawn's lisp it's on fucking sight
•ik it's not like, stated where Calem was from before they moved in to Kalos, so in my hcs he's from Galar
-no cause, they all genuinely thought he's Kalosian, when Iris met him for the first time back then, she was caught off guard by that Galarian accent
-he does know and speak Kalosian tho so he can cover it up well
•Hau and Florian gets along well, they're both pretty chill, they're both down to murder, they both try to reassure Calem that no they really won't commit murder, Calem still doesn't believe them
•Gloria is the youngest between them, so that means Iris looks after her even tho she knows Gloria is a capable trainer
-idk man, but y'know big sis Iris watching after her new lil sis, like how Cynthia was w her back then
-Iris did become a role model for Gloria tho fr, these two would always train together
-w that tho, Silver is the oldest between them
•watch me make them a found family too

~ SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO ~ 2 /2
Gen 2 beginning / previously / next
[TRANSCRIPT] under the cut.
You can translate the dialog from here if you want!
— Hey champ! How are you? — Hey grandpa. Fine, how are you? — Oh can't complain really. Getting everything set for the winter, don't want to leave the summer plants outside with this cold.
— We were just talking about you. Come and chat with your grandchild for a while. I'll help you finish it up later. — Oh I wouldn't like to distract you Gran- — Nonsense. She's right. — As always… — Yeah, yeah. What were you talking about…?
— We were talking about us moving here all those years ago. — Really? — Yeah, I kinda have an offer to move to another city. — Woah that's- interesting. — I don't even know if it is a big deal or not, I never had an offer like that. I don't really know how to make a decision like that myself. So I was kinda hoping you two, maybe, can tell me about your experience…?
— Well, there's not much to tell really. Back then I was working with a good friend doing some important landscapes and the opportunity arise, he didn't want to take it for himself but encouraged me to take it.
— After talking to your grandma about it, we knew it was going to be difficult but we were gonna try. Our girls were pretty grown-up by then, so the only real problem was your mother and her school friends that she didn't want to leave, your father being one of them, may I add. Looking back I can say it was a good opportunity, but I had nothing to compare it to, just my gut feeling, and it was hard I’m not gonna lie to you but luckily we were able to make it work.
— That's the thing. I don't know. My thoughts on this are: stay, don't be a coward and run away from the franchise that made you who you are, I don't want to leave through the back door. But on the other hand we can have a break from the city, the constant pressure from being in the spotlight, even just a little bit. I am afraid of what that could do to our marriage.
— Back then I gotta think of the future of the family, the well-being of your mother and your aunt Emma. Maybe if you're not feeling it, you can afford to be a little selfish and stay. There's nothing wrong with waiting for a better time or another opportunity if you're comfortable where you are right now… You can stay and turn around the situation son. Whatever it is, I know that.
— My baby Noah is no coward for leaving, and not a fool for staying, you can count on us, your family, to help you in whatever you want to do.
— That's right. — Thanks Nana. Thanks Grandpa.
