hii happy pride month, have a little 'you're a dog (i'm your man)' chapter four snippet as an apology for radio silence <33
“Did I wake you?” Gale asks, glancing at John apologetically, but John looks up from his effort to avoid muddy puddles to shake his head. Gale supposes it’s a silly question; John sleeps like a rock, dead to disturbances made by anything other than his own brain.
“Just my sixth sense,” John says, shrugging and shooting him a small smile. Gale snorts.
“You got a radar for me?” He teases, and John smiles wider, eyes crinkling.
“Built in,” he answers matter–of–factly, raising a hand and making a fist over the center of his chest before dropping it, returning his vigilant gaze to the uneven ground. Gale stares for a moment longer, floored not for the first time by John’s apparent obliviousness to the weight of his sentimentality.
Even knowing John how he does, it’s always unexpected coming from someone who a stranger might assume to be brazen and surface–level; John’s loud mouth and wandering hands do him no favours in that regard.
But Gale does know John, like an extension of himself half the time, and still he manages to render him speechless. The way his heart flutters as the sentiment hangs in the air makes Gale want to reach down his throat and squeeze it until it never beats again.

A collection of experimental Skitty drawings I've been working on since early May- sorry for the lack of art lately, chronic illnesses have been taking toll but I'm glad to have made something that finally showcases how a couple of Skitty's attacks/Pokémon moves work. It feels really nice to try some new things and to push my Kirby poses/expressions. And right before ArtFight too! :D
Read under the cut for more info on how her attacks work:
Generally speaking, she uses her retractable claws, tail, + a variety of kick and grab/throw attacks in battle; but oftentimes she'll use compatible yet quirky variants of Pokémon moves too. Essentially, Skitty's Pokémon moves come with a catch- they use up a lot of her stamina and overuse of particularly strong moves can actually cause her to pass out. Not only that, but some function differently due to the fact that she isn't entirely a Pokémon. For example, Thunder Wave, a move she likes to use in order to quickly paralyze a foe, doesn't function as a Special Attack. Instead, she has to make physical contact for the move to work as intended- causing her to use her claws in combination to ensure the foe cannot escape before the electricity takes hold. All of her moves are overall weaker than an actual Pokémon's as well.
Though, she doesn't have a limit of moves she can "know" at any given time at least.

CW : Gore, MCD, artistic nudity
My dear Johnny... at least return my heart before you go for good.
It's not fair that I wasn't there to witness your last breath.
What was in your mind as you closed your eyes for the last time?
Because I know you'll be mine before I laid to rest.
I'll see you soon.
Love, Ace
