I wonder if we’ll ever get PNGs of the artworks for the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords from these (other than Leaves and Fire of course)

Stinky.

Here's my Miraidon I specifically went out of my way to collect 50 Fairy Tera Shards for. Btw. And EV trained (max Sp. Atk and split Spd/Def to even out defensive stats). Just so he could kick the other Miraidon's ass. 🫡

And here are this month's karubii pages, plus the panel from the official Twitter! We're at Schedar Squad's base, and, according to karubii, Scarlet stole Miraidon?!

[draystersden]

So in Japanese media at least, the eye shapes of animated characters collectively have distinct names and meanings, which reflect on the character's outward bearing (if they're intended to be cute, cool, etc) and the character's own personality. I was looking at the art + models of BBA's Elite Four, and noticed that the same design philosophies overall apply to them.

(All of this information regarding eye shapes I'm referring to is copy-pasted from a user on twitter who claims to be Japanese-American and has read a lot of Japanese fiction in the language. So, the info is fairly trustworthy methinks.)

切れ長 (kirenaga), lit. “cut long.” Kirenaga eyes are long and thin, but they can be either monolids or double eyelids. Kirenaga eyes are often considered aloof or sexy (as opposed to cute). Kirenaga are also associated with traditional eastern beauty in Japan.

Kirenaga seems to be what Drayton has. He definitely comes off as aloof on the surface, mellow to the point he maintains a sense of detachment to what goes on around him. Wouldn't surprise me if Drayton's character designer intended for him to come off as attractive too.

丸目or まんまる目 (marume or manmarume), lit. “round eyes.” Marume are the opposite of Kirenaga eyes. As the name suggests, they’re big and round. Marume are considered cute and childlike.

This for sure applies to Crispin. He comes off as the youngest in the E4 (I'm pretty sure his model is the shortest of them), plus he has a very boisterous and outgoing personality. Furthermore, his personality is almost the complete opposite to Drayton's, which feeds into their eye shapes being opposites. Pretty neat detail!

三白眼 (sanpakugan), lit. “eye with 3 whites.” This is when the iris is small enough that some of the white of the eye is visible above or below the iris. This means the white is visible on 3 sides of the iris instead of 2. Sanpakugan is often considered intimidating or intense.

Amarys' eye shapes is interesting. The closest does seem to be sanpakugan; it makes sense because of her mature and stoic personality. Funnily enough, you could make the argument that marume is blended in for her as well, and it still works? Because in-game, Amarys gives off some hints that her character is more innocent than she seems. Being confused by her feelings towards Kieran, and just assuming Miraidon / Koraidon is an "Agias" and not questioning it, are big implications imo.

たれ目 (tareme), lit. “droopy eyes.” Tareme are when the outer corner of the eye “droops” down and is lower than the inner corner of the eye. Tareme are often considered cute or gentle.

Lacey's eye shapes go with this one the most by far. The concept of "cuteness" is one of her character's driving forces, so of course her appearance is going to have cutesy traits. The difference she has with Crispin though is that she does have more of a gentle nature compared to his brashness, so that's where the softer element comes into play.

-//-

I'm sure these eye types are flexible and no single artist rigidly sticks to them, they're like templates more than anything else, so it's cool to see how they can be represented in a character's design!

Pokemon headcanon (not full teams, just one for now):

Damian: Bisharp "The Sword Blade Pokemon" Dark/Steel type

A warrior sword Pokemon? Practically made for him.

Tim: Oranguru "The Sage Pokemon" Normal/Psychic

Now hear me out - part normal type because Tim wasn't chosen or born for the role, he chose it for himself. The dex entry mentions it uses human tools. And it's possible abilities are Inner Focus (prevents flinching), telepathy (anticipate opponents moves), and symbiosis (pass it's held item to an ally).

Dick: Blacephalon (yeah, technically an Ultra Beast, but whatever) "The Fireworks Pokemon".

I fully admit it's because it's basically a clown pokemon and Dick is from the circus. The other option is Copperajah, because of Zitka.

Jason: Alolan Marowak "The Bone Keeper Pokemon" Fire/Ghost type.

It evolves from Cubone, who's sad because it's parents are dead. And then the typing fits - fire because he got blown up, and ghost because he was dead.

Bruce: Absol "The Disaster Pokemon" pure Dark type.

Everyone thinks Absol is evil and brings disaster, but it actually tries to warn people of danger. A 'Dark Protector' type of creature 😘

Cass: Meloetta Pirouette Forme "The Melody Pokemon" Normal/Fighting type.

It's a fighting type that also dances, and Cass likes ballet 🩰. Plus, it's base form it's normal/psychic, which ties into her ability to read people's body language

Duke: Miraidon "The Paradox Pokemon" Electric/Dragon type

Duke is awesome, so obviously he gets the only legendary 🥰. It's electric, which is the closest to a 'light' type and he had light powers, and dragon type because that seems a good fit for the only meta hero in Gotham.

Drayton coming up with a plan to force Keiran to take a nap.

His idea? League Club Sleepover!

He tries to organise a Sleepover in the League Club room, there are voices of opposition (Lacey mainly, "boys and girls sleeping in the same room?? Its just not right!") But manages to get permission from Director Cyrano by being like "Oh but think of the team building, the bonding, the teachers can chaperone"

He successfully gets it approved and gets a sign-up sheet on the go. Juliana joins because he told her the plan, plus she's had sleepovers with Penny & Team Star, Arven and Nemona so this isn't really anything new and Miraidon will stop any funny business by just being overly present in everyone's space.

Carmine joins because she can't leave Juliana with Drayton!, Amarys joins because Carmine joins, Lacey joins because the other girls are going, Crispin was in from the beginning and was already coming up with spicy snacks to make.

Then the hard pard, dragging Keiran in. He Does Not Sleep and Does Not WANT To Sleep and "I Do Not Care For Your Bonding Bullshit Drayton"

Drayton successfully manipulates him in by using one pretty exchange student as a reason form him to "at the very least show face, even if you don't stay"

The BB League are all getting comfy and the girls are cooing over each others cute pj's and it doesn't look like he's going to show but then the door opens and he's there, not looking happy and is scanning the room to see who he needs to make work harder and he spots Julinana sat there in pink ribombee pj's with his furret cuddled in on her lap and- (he is not jealous of a pokemon he is NOT)- but the damage is done, he let his guard down and Drayton has grabbed him and manhandled him into the room talking about how great it is that he decided to join them and he's about to argue but suddenly he's very tired.

The others had all been handed ear plugs, they didn't know why until they see a swablu using sing by the door and their Champion going down like a sack of potatoes.

Drayton catches him before he hits the floor and then both he and Juliana are in motion getting him tucked into one of the futons sprawled over the floor. His furret is delighted and immediately goes to cuddle up with him.

There is some outcry from the others when they realise that this whole thing has been an incredibly intricate set up but they can't deny Keiran needs the sleep. Even if they are all acutely aware he's going to be a ✨️nightmare✨️when he wakes up.

Juliana bear hugs him when he wakes up and suddenly he's just paralyzed LOL

(I thoroughly enjoyed this read and it's so beyond cute)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUMI HINOMORI!!

My first card edit!! 😰

Original + rambles and an announcement about Lumi underneath the cut

Hello everyone!! Today (for me) is January 11th, 2025!! It's my eighteenth birthday!!

It's also my oc's, Lumi's, birthday!!

Lumi has been my s/i since early 2022, as they were originally a Danganronpa s/i. That may not be too long of a time for most people, but to me that feels like a lifetime. They've been through A LOT of phases. Fun fact: their name used to be Echo. I changed their name because at the start of my Pokemon SV phase because I got the idea to make a Miraidon oc, since I kin Miraidon. I used the name Echo for an rp as my Miraidon oc until i figured out a different one, but the name stuck onto them. So, I renamed my s/i to Lumi (coming from the Italian word "luminoso/a," which means "bright!"). From there, they were just this silly guy that I shipped with Penny. They touched the NSO universe for a brief second as well, more about that later. Eventually, we get to my PJSK phase, where I create my first Lumi counterpart with slightly fledged-out lore. I did something I never thought of doing with them before, which was giving them lore that didn't connect much to my actual self. Their PJSK counterpart made Lumi more of their own person, compared to their past counterparts who barely had lore because I didn't want them to stray away from me too much. The same thing ended up happening when I put them into Mouthwashing, I gave that counterpart their own lore as well, the only thing really similar to myself being their very different appearance from their other counterparts. I liked having freedom when I made these two counterparts of Lumi.

Here's where I start the rambles that lead up to my announcement FJSKSLA

So, there was an issue with the NSO counterpart once I started begging the question "how old even is Lumi?" Because the thing is, their NSO counterpart never actually became a thing. I had plans to do so, and the furthest I got was making them a streamer persona. I quickly realized an issue. I didn't want to age Lumi up. Obviously, I was not going to ship an adult (Ame) with a minor (Lumi). The streamer persona was already a confirmed adult, but I didn't have the heart to connect them to Lumi because of the fact that I didn't want to age Lumi up nor ship them with an adult. So I never got to go too far with that idea.

The idea of making Lumi an adult has never sat right with me once I started thinking about it. Originally, their age was supposed to line up to mine, but it was hard to keep track of that, so basically I just made their age 15-17. Plus, I was still uncomfortable with the idea of aging them up. With that freedom I felt when giving them their own lore, I realized something I wanted to do, something I'm going to announce right now...

I didn't want to have Lumi be my self insert anymore.

Obviously, I didn't want to get rid of them as an oc, but I didn't want them to be me anymore.

I wanted to make them their own person, and then make someone brand new to be me. However, the person I tried to make as the new, adult "me," I didn't really like. They didn't feel like me.

So I'm currently figuring out a new s/i, which I haven't really had many ideas for that. Eventually, they'll be here. But for now, the only thing I can say is certain is that as of today, Lumi Hinomori is now their own person. They're no longer my self-insert. They're their own person. I will still self-project onto them, as I do all of my ocs, but not to the point where they're loreless.

Whoever actually took the time to read this, thank you. Thank you for being here on this journey, whether this is the first time you've heard my oc's name or you're somehow one of the 3 people that knew them when they were still named Echo. It makes me happy seeing people interested in my blorbos, and I hope I can make more that I'm confident in one day!

[tealmaskmybeloved]

One of the reasons I LOVED Pecharunt, is solely because of the Loyal 3 existing. Considering its chains could change pokemon to their desires, imagine the endless possibilities for Fakemon artists. Plu, since pokemon have their own respective desires, you could make 2 complately different Toxic Chained (That's what I'm calling the subspecies) but both are originally the same species.

That was how I got the idea for TC's Kieran's Toxic Chained team

YEAAAAAAAHAHHHG

There's PLENTY of good artists making Fakemon that are Toxic Chained and I'll even link some of my favorites here!

I've seen people argue about this to no end so I wanna know your two cents. Do you think the Paradox Beasts and Paradox Swords should count as legendaries like how the Raidons are technically Paradox Cyclizar but still legendaries?

The fact that Koraidon and Miraidon are considered legendaries when Cyclizar isn't kind of proves that there's no correlation between the paradox forms and their original titles. Plus statistically, a lot of the Paradox Beasts/Swords have only ~20 point higher base stats than other paradox 'mons, compared to Koraidon/Miraidon who are ~100 points higher.

I’ve had an idea!

Yeah! Taste the rainbow (not sponsored by Skittles)!

My Bread Professor Turo was burnt Hyper Beamed to a crisp

I didn’t know exactly how to draw the alpha Miraidon do the Bread Dance (plus Idk how to draw Pokémon that well much less animate) so I just drew @soulstickerr’s (absolutely stunning) designs of them. (At least I’m pretty sure that design is the Alpha one??? Idk???)

I was too lazy to draw the human Turo dead so I just scribbled some ourple and red and slapped Mosaic blur on it.

Anyways, thanks for reading :]

[theviolenttomboy]

So here are karubii's four pics this month, plus the official twitter's panel! After Scarlet, uh, borrowed Miraidon last month, she's with Arven now while Violet's with Nemona! Can't wait to see how this shakes things up!

Plus, here's a preview of the New Year's Card that's coming out soon!

Post Indigo Disk Idea involving Miraidon and Kieran before him and Carmine left for break!!!

Indigo Disk Spoilers:

Looking back to this scene of Miraidon protecting Kieran from Terapagos

(Which itself is still one of the most epic scenes in Scar/Vio) got me thinking of a scenario where a few days after the battle with Terapagos, it's attack did effect Miraidon. Causing the poor dragon to have an electricity buildup.

So for those who don't watch or haven't seen much of the Pokemon Anime, basically electricity buildup's are what electric type Pokemon can have when too much electricity is built up within their bodies, causing an extremely high fever, as well as delirium.

Due to Miraidon's size, the attack it absorbed wouldn't take a toll on it's body until after a few days.

This would make Kieran feel even more guilty for what happened back in Area Zero, For if he had thought more rationally when handling Terapagos, Miraidon wouldn't have had to save him, and wouldn't have gotten so sick.

So when him and Carmine got the call from the Protagonist while they were packing for break and learned about Miraidon, Kieran would take it upon himself to stay by the Pokemon's side and help the Protagonist care for it until Carmine finds a way to get rid of the unneeded electricity.

With the help of both of the trainer's Pokemon, Kieran was able to obtain all the things necessary to help Miraidon feel a bit comfortable through it's fever. And despite knowing how much they wanted to help, Kieran insisted that the Protagonist should stay close to Miraidon in case it lashes out in confusion.

This would allow Kieran and the Protagonist to have a Heart to Heart moment where Kieran finally confesses that it was his fault that Miraidon is like this and wants to atone for it. While the Protagnonist provides him with a sense of comfort, saying that no one could've known the outcome, and even opened up about their first time within Area Zero and Miraidon's story.

With Carmine not being able to find anything, and Miraidon's condition getting worse by the minute, Kieran suggested to finally have the Elite Four be involved, much to the Protagonist's hesitation, But eventually would trust Kieran's judgement.

(Because canonically, the Raidon's cannot be seen out in public. With only a certain amount of people being exceptions. Plus i headcanon that the reason the Protagonist was comfortable with showing their Raidon to Amarys was that Carmine told her about them before hand and Amarys is not the type to spread secrets)

The Elite Four would take turns caring for the Pokemon all while the other three would take turns asking questions, but promised to keep it a secret, seeing how much Miraidon means to the Protagonist.

But thankfully with their help, Miraidon was able to make a full recovery, all thanks to Kieran's quick thinking.

(and yes Miraidon would make sure that Kieran knew it was thankful)

If anyone wants to create a fanfic for this idea, feel free to do so. I would love it read it :3
