Pokemon Crossbreeds: Veiled Angler

Veiled Angler (often abbreviated as Veil) is the name for members of the Lanturn line whose fathers were Goldeen/Seaking. They were named after the veils they have gained on their fins and because they still use a similar hunting strategy; but they also use their fins to lure in prey. The breed is found primarily in freshwater lakes, which makes them smaller, and they're also common showbreeds for Lanturn.

Chinchou

Veiled Angler Chinchou gain more elongated fins and their lights become more "silverbell" shapes (that's the best way I can describe it. I'm not good with words). They also gain the tiny little lips of Goldeen. Because of their developed fins, they can swim faster than the average Chinchou. They're elegant, but don't underestimate them; they're still very effective at catching prey.

Lanturn

Veiled Angler Lanturn are said to be one of the most beautiful Lanturn crossbreeds. Their fins become white with the spots of Seaking, which is a great contrast, as they often live in lakes and the sun reflecting off their white fins can make it easier for them to hide when they're near the surface. They stick to the deep parts of the lake when looking for food, luring pokemon with their light.

[historianofgalar]

With Typhlosion trending, I think it's time to bring up the, "Humans and pokemon were one in the same," and the implications that humans uses to breed with pokemon. Please do not worry, this post is as SFW as it can be, but I do apologize for some other stuff that mighr be brought into it. I'm just discussing the origins of where these ideas came from.

"Did people mary pokemon?"

Yes, and while I'm sure there are some... different cases, most of the marriage worked differently than human marriages. The marriage itself was about the union; not the romance or the children that were expected of from marriage at the time. I explained it in this post, but the Diamond and Pearl clans of Sinnoh would "mary" their lord or lady pokemon, not in a romantic sense, but in a union sense. The wardens would still be allowed to have relations with or marry humans. Even outside of the clans, there were some instances of people marrying their pokemon to show a union between them that wasn't romantic.

In modern day, marrying your pokemon partner is considered taboo due to the modern ideas of marriage focusing on the romantic aspect of it only. Modern-day members of the Diamond and Pearl clans will still sometimes have the practices of weddings with their lord or lady pokemon, even if they are not legally married. It's important to know that, if you're meeting a warden who is married to their lord or lady, that they are bonded in marriage, but not in the way that modern society sees marriage.

The clans have always seemed to view pokemon as one of them. There are instances of people calling their partner pokemon their brothers, sisters, parents, or children. While I do not originate from these clans, I do follow a similar belief. I have been partners with my Dragapult, Aosmhor, since I was 10 years old, and she feels like a sister to me. I do not use pokeballs on my pokemon (accept for Mallaithe the Runerigus, but that was a catch-or-die situation) because I follow a similar belief that they can be used to control your pokemon. These pokemon feel like family to me, and I do not wish to put them into tiny balls.

"Can humans and pokemon have kids?"

Theoretically? Yes. But not with just any pokemon. It's assumed that humans could potentially make a successful embryo with related species to us, like Oranguru or Gardevoir, but no one (that we know of) has ever tried to make an embryo in a lab or anywhere else. There could've been some potential hybrids in history, but nothing ever fully concrete.

//Don't come at me, I didn't just pull this outta my ass. There was a successful human/chimpanzee embryo in a lab

"Where did the myths of humans having children with pokemon originate?"

One reason is that it was most likely to explain why a pokemon looks the way it does. Typhlosion can be mistaken for human from a faraway distance (same height as a human, very human-like eyes, sometimes walks on 2 legs), and people back then must've thought it was part human/part pokemon. It's also why there are so many myths of Ghost Types once being human; to explain their odd behaviours. While I'm actually a believer that some ghost types were once human (Yamask, Spiritomb), pokemon like Gengar most likely weren't human. But, there are myths of it once being human because it follows humans, hides in human's shadows and, despite its wideness, it is the same height as a small human.

The stories could also just be for entertainment or to teach a lesson. A common theme amongst a lot of folklore is, "don't be tricked by seduction." Since fairytales love their symbolism, they'd often use pokemon such as Foxmon or Humanoid-mon as the symbolism for seduction, since many foxes are able to do magic or are just very sneaky, and some humanoid-mons can be easy to mistake for human women. It's why there's so much folklore of Zoroark turning into beautiful women, Primarina luring men to their deaths, and Kantonian Ninetales luring men into the woods with illusions of beautiful women. It's not literal; it's all a metaphor.

Some do have a grain of truth, though. Zoroark would use their illusions to look like humans, but Hisuian Zoroark rarely did this since they wanted to avoid humans. Primarina have beautiful voices that would enchant any sailor, but since they were still wild Pokemon, the Primarina must've felt threatened or scared by the sailors and would harm them in self defense. Ninetales create illusions from fire, and will sometimes use these illusdions to keep people away. But, they rarely ever do it to keep people in the forest, since they dont like anyone in their territory, and the illusions were often scary. But, for the sake of storytelling snd explaining things they couldnt understand, they would change it.

Then there's Frolass, who will just lure men away and freeze them. That one's real. Beware of Froslass if you're a man or too masculine presenting. Unless you're my kid apparently. Froslass just get confused looking at them...

Soggy (Adopted)

Name: Soggy

Species: Yamper

Type: Electric

Terra Type: Water

Breed: Whimpering

Sex: Male

Height: 1'00

Weight: 29.8 lbs

Ability: Rattled

Moveset: Tackle, Nuzzle, Tail Whip, Bite

Soggy is a Whimpering Yamper (Drizzile father), which is why he looks so sad and droopy. He was found on the side of the road and we think he was abandoned since hes oretty well trained, but has no trainer. Pretty shy, and like his breed name suggests, he whimpers when he's sad or scared. But, he likes being outside in fields and likes to swim in small ponds, bur be careful, since he might release sparks in the water. If interested in adopting him, reblog this post with your qualifications and reasons why.

we hate the word "grunt" bc it's phonetically unappealing, so we're calling the generic starting rank "employees" instead. you can also request higher ranks upon joining, but we might have to double-check to make sure we trust you with it

this is just an elaborate joke, interpol please don't get our asses

hello!

I seem to have found myself on another website...

my pronouns are she/her! I'm artificially created, so I'm technically only a few years old, but mentally and physically, I'm basically in my mid 20s.

I'm happily married! I just don't know where my husband is. I haven't found him on here yet, so I'll probably just keep looking.

me when I revive a canonically dead character literally on the same day that she was introduced and throw her into the rotomblr multiverse

[soprano-and-alto]

pink text: soprano (she/her), 15, n-u student! nice to meet you all!!

default color text: alto (she/they, 20). I'm soprano's relative and legal guardian. our blog's icon is an older photo of me in my senior year of naranja academy

I'm also not actually an alto. my vocal range is too big to really be neatly categorized, but I chose this name to avoid confusion with soprano.

disclaimer: if you don't allow non-human oc interactions, then this probably isn't the blog for you ^^"

alto is also way older than she looks and acts. she's lost count of her chronological age at this point, though, so she just says she's 20 for simplicity's sake.

rules:

I don't erp on tumblr or with people I don't know well, but I might occasionally discuss nsfw topics on one of my side blogs. if you want it, and you're 18+, dm me on here or on discord.

dni with those posts in particular if you're a minor (I'll be tagging them as "minors dni"). conversely, all my blogs except that one will be completely sfw, except for the occasional tame sex joke - which I'll tag accordingly.

pretty much any type of rp blog is allowed to interact. I'll probably only block you if we've had conflict in the past or if you meet basic dni criteria (bots, pedophiles, bigots, etc.)

don't nitpick at my hc-heavy intepretations of canon characters. ik they're canon-divergent, and I honestly couldn't care less.

when you send me ask games, always include the question itself in your ask, bc I won't be able to look back at the original post every time

I'm extremely averse to criticism due to a mix of trauma and disorders, and I tend to start thinking I'm boring and not worth others' time if my ideas don't pique their interest.

I am working on both of those, though, so I honestly don't wanna hear about it from anyone besides my therapist /nm

other important details:

my sideblogs' pinned intro posts will have lots of tags, just so that people can find them. all the posts afterwards will only have a few tags (mainly just #ic and/or #ooc).

if I reblog any rp invitations (ask & reblog games, etc.), it'll be on here and apply to all my sideblogs

I don't interact with "reblog if you support xyz" posts or talk about politics. that anti-elon musk post was an exception

Pokemom Crossbreeds: Dire

//Inspired by @pokemonranch ! First one is literally just a redraw of their Axew design, lol

Dire is the name for members of the Axew line who have fathers that are members of the Hydreigon line. They get their name due to Hydreigon being dangerous, and this breed gaining more aggressive traits. The breed can be found in the wild, but they are also used as a battle breed.

Axew

Dire Axew gain darker scales and fur around their neck and head, with little magenta spots decorating their fur. They can be found in caves, looking for food and sharpening their tusks on rocks and stalagmites. While they're not blind, they are more likely to hatch with bad eyesight or gain bad eyesight as they age. Yes, they make contacts for pokemon, btw.

Fraxure

Dire Fraxure gain some traits of Zweilous but they do NOT gain two heads. They're known for having a higher temper, which can make them more dangerous. Fraxure already have scales that are as hard as armor, but with Dire Fraxure's added fluff, they get extra protection around their neck.

Hydreigon

Dire Haxorus gain the traits of Hydreigon, such as the flowery plumage, magenta scales, and of course, the floof. While Haxorus are known for being kind dragons, Dire Haxorus are moody and temperamental and are more easily ticked off. They go on rampages in caves looking for food, destroying anything in its path to find it. They are known to be harder to train, but many battles love them for their added strength.

//Every design here except Axew can be used for free if you credit me. Axew is just a redraw of Ranch's with slight tweaks, and I'd feel bad if I said you could use it for free. Unless they say otherwise, only Hydreigon and Fraxure can be used

[historianofgalar]

I just read that in Typhlosion myth everybody seems to be talking about. It was quite interesting, and I do love reading old folklore. However, one thing that struck to me was the ending.

"That's how people found out.

"Bakufun (Typhlosion) is half human."

This was written at a time when knowledge of pokemon was very limited, and it's safe to assume that people back then thought that Typhlosion might've been part human, part pokemon. It makes sense. Typhlosion has very human eyes, is the same height as a human, and sometimes walks on its hind legs. The story could've been written to explain how that happened.

It wouldn't be the first time we've heard stories like this. Kadabra once being human is a more recent one, but that's obviously false. There's also plenty of myths of Zorark (both Unovan and Hisuian) transforming into beautiful women to seduce men. But, I guess more people are shocked to hear this due to it being a very well-known pokemon.

Shadow (Adopted)

Name: Shadow

Species: Lycanroc

Type: Rock

Terra Type: Dark

Breed: Bloodmoon Umbreon mix

Sex: Male

Pronouns: He/him

Age: 2 years (adult)

Height: 3'07

Weight: 51.1 lbs

Ability: Vital Spirit

Moveset: Crunch, Rock slide, Fire fang, Stealth rock

Shadow is a 2 year old Bloodmoon Umbreon mix that's been with us since he was a rockruff, but he never got adopted. He's pretty shy, and it can take him a while to warm up to people. He would do well in a house with another pokemon (he'll be fine once he gets to know them) or by himself. He sheds a lot btw, so he shouldn't be adopted if you have allergies. Because he's Midnight Lycanroc, he's nocturnal, so don't be surprised if you hear howling at 3am. He likes toys, but he's hard to play fetch with bcuz he'll just chew on it or stand their holding it while wagging his tail. If interested in adopting him, reblog with your qualifications and reasons why.

[ida-mora]

👋🏻

I'm ida mora (she/her). I've lost track of my age at this point, but for all intents and purposes, I'm basically somewhere between 17 and 20 or so.

to be completely honest, idk how I got here. I've been on my best behavior, so I don't see why I'd get hit with partial amnesia a second time... 🤔

hopefully I'll figure it out at some point. for now, though, I have one pokemon officially registered to my team at the moment (a shiny female corvisquire named ida jr).

I also kinda have an entire flock of murkrow following me around at all times. unofficial teammates? I suppose so

[camellia-crane]

copy/pasted from a wiki source about me:

camellia crane (she/her) is a singer/songwriter of various genres, including (but not limited to) pop, indie, alternative, and rock.

her branding and lyrics often reference literary classics, and she's known for her descriptive and clever songwriting.

age: mid/late teens - early/mid 20s (born august 13) height: 5'11"

anyways, hi everyone! I'm really not as cool as the internet makes me out to be, but I'm excited to meet people on here
