Told myself I needed to start drawing dragons again in case there is ever a market for drawing dragons and it resulted in this

I'll give you 3 guesses on what my favorite legendary pokemon is

[lavyyulu]

Day two - Dragon

i told you i was gonna use this as an excuse to show off some stuff

[princekirijo]

Oh yeah because I love Pokemon AUs I was thinking about what partner Pokemon Riku would have and as much as I wanna give him like Charizard or Garchomp (I think he'd have a Garchomp but it wouldn't be his partner), the best partner for him is Urshifu, Rapid Strike Style specifically.

🕶️ (Hit me up and tell me Rayquaza's coolness)

Send 🕶️ for my muse to rate your muse’s ‘coolness’ from 1-10 and give reasons why

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

Jet is clearly flabbergasted.

"10!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? THAT'S A MOTHER FUCKIN DRAGON- NO, A KING OF DRAGONS! ANYONE WHO DOESN'T THINK THIS DUDE IS SICK AS HELL NEEDS TO STOP BREATHING MY AIR!"

[aastarions]

so i replayed pokemon emerald a few years ago (on my fake copy no less even though i have a real one, didnt realize til recently ANYWAYS) and although i tell myself there might still be more i want to do in game im thinking im gonna go through the tedious process of transferring them from emerald to pokemon bank/scarlet

[chimerabytes]

I dont know why Relicanth is one of my favorite Pokemon. I dont know when Relicanth became one of my favorite Pokemon.

Same can be said for Regigigas, Claydol, Alolan Marowak, and Bronzong.

I just like them a lot.

I read your excerpt of calypso and torrent meeting after decades and I love c it. Do you have any more lore for them thst you’ve written

(Referencing this post)

Calypso’s apology was intended to be an open to interpretation— I usually see it as her apologizing for trusting him in the first place, indirectly leading to them both feeling so much pain down the line. But it’s ultimately up to the reader. I wanted the audience to be able to determine different parts of Calypso and Torrent’s story in ways that were relevant to them personally. And Torrent joined Team ACT because it felt like the right thing to do— to help track down the reason the world was ending, even though she was his best friend.

As for additional lore, I’m planning to revamp my Rescue Team storyline with (mostly) new characters, so I can share my original notes for Calypso and Torrent’s storyline!

Behold! The TPiaG Wrap-Up, Part 1: Rescue Team Edition!

Gengar projected his self-loathing onto Calypso after hearing her say she was a former human, assuming she was just as vile as he saw himself, and started spreading rumors that she was the prophesied trigger to the world's end out of a combination of self-preservation and hatred.

Calypso’s partner, Torrent, betrayed her and joined Team ACT in hunting her down after he began to doubt whether or not he could trust someone he met a few short months ago with his life. He was worried about how associating with her would affect his standing amongst important individuals in the Rescue Team field more than he was about how his friend would survive.

Calypso was rescued during the eventual confrontation with Team ACT and Torrent by Ninetales, who chastised them for believing Gengar, a known troublemaker and liar, about something as vital as someone's worth in existing. Torrent was horrified by the realization that he was wrong to betray his partner, and tried to apologize, but Calypso ran off, refusing to hear out his explanations.

The events of Red Rescue Team took place with Calypso largely alone, refused company by those she turned to for assistance like Magnemite and eventually turning down companions like Absol due to her paranoia and anxiety at the thought of being betrayed again.

Calypso never returned to the town where the majority of the game is set.

Calypso learned from Gardevoir that, as a human before entering the world of Pokemon, she had asked for her memories to be erased. Gardevoir implies in her explanation that Calypso seemed less motivated by her supposed reasoning of testing whether she was heroic enough in her core nature by reading her own memories, and she appeared more so relieved by the thought of becoming an amnesiac. Gardevoir speculates that Calypso had something in her past as a human that she was haunted by. Calypso, who learned that cubones and marowaks are not all inherently defined by grief, but have ritualized mourning as a significant part of their culture, realizes that she had (in her own words) significant “mommy issues.” She removes the skull helmet she wears for a final time, abandoning it in a clearing after she wakes up from the dream where she learns of her past.

Calypso overhears through people in a town she's staying in that a nearby Xatu prophesied that the world will be destroyed by a falling star, and countless Pokemon with prophetic abilities confirmed this. She rushes to Sky Tower and fights her way to its top, pleading with Rayquaza to destroy the meteor.

Rayquaza is offended by Calypso's presence in Sky Tower, as he had sworn a Vow with the universe itself to uphold the laws of nature— he would never descend to the ground, just as those bound to the earth would never reach its atmosphere.

Rayquaza, after Calypso pleads with him and stands her ground in a fight with the Lord of the Sky, is finally convinced to destroy the meteorite threatening the world by its arrival. He warns Calypso that Sky Tower would be destroyed by the fallout of the meteorite’s destruction, and she would fall to her death, but Calypso tells him she has one job to do in this world, and she doesn't care what it takes to get it done.

Rayquaza is impressed by Calypso's resolve and destroys the meteorite, causing Sky Tower to dissolve in the resulting shockwave. Calypso plummets to the ground, but is saved from the impact by Rayquaza catching her as she falls, breaking his Vow to never touch the ground in his infinite lifetime.

Despite Rayquaza breaking her fall, Calypso dies as a result of being abruptly pulled out of the drop. Gengar senses her spirit entering the in-between realm between the land of the living and the afterlife, and, under the guise of dragging Calypso to “the dark world” (a nebulous location he made up on the spot to maintain his antagonistic appearance) hauls her spirit back to her body, saving her life.

Calypso evolves into an Alolan Marowak as she takes her first breath after being revived. She is greeted by Rayquaza, who is struggling to fly off after seeing she's alright. He laments that his powers have weakened dramatically as a result of breaking his Vow to never grace the earth with his presence, and he feels as though he's been reduced to the strength of a mortal.

Calypso struggles to pull herself to her feet, ignoring Rayquaza’s melodramatics, and is startled to find that she doesn't look like any pokemon she knows. Rayquaza theorizes that most cubones wear their skull helmets prior to evolution, and it becomes a part of their bodies as they evolve into a marowak. She seems to have evolved into a marowak touched by “the world beyond” on top of her already odd appearance as a result of that peculiar ghost-type dragging her back to her body. Calypso is startled and asks Rayquaza to clarify, and he confirms that Calypso was saved from an early death by Gengar. She's disgusted by this.

Rayquaza is frustrated by his inability to do anything more than hover a short distance above the ground for a brief moment at a time, and complains that he will likely need to regain his power over time as a result of his newfound Oathbreaker status. Calypso begins a journey to look for a place to stay, and Rayquaza follows despite her protests, slithering along the ground like a massive arbok and claiming she's a champion comparable to a Legend and he hopes to learn how to wield a power that even echoes such a stalwart determination.

Years pass. Rayquaza slowly regains a degree of his power, but is still largely comparable to a mortal, and takes up residence on a mountain peak near a town where Calypso settles. Gengar starts tracking Calypso down (and Calypso starts evading all his efforts to find her) in order to apologize and reconcile with her, driven by guilt at his past actions. Torrent joins Team Meanies after Gengar abandons them to search for Calypso, and they become a prominent Rescue Team before eventually comfortably retiring early after a successful career.

Torrent was never the same after betraying Calypso, and became a very solemn, almost depressed character after she ran away while he tried to apologize. He evolved into a feraligatr at an early age due to how he used training as a means to cope with his guilt. He eventually becomes a traveler who drifts between towns, looking for odd jobs to distract himself.

At one point, he encounters a gengar in a small town, the same one who fooled him into believing his old partner was someone he couldn't trust. They briefly catch up as Torrent expresses his anger at Gengar, who asks if Torrent saw “her” in town. When Torrent asks who he means, Gengar falls silent. “Nevermind. It's not my business. Not like it ever was in the first place, come to think of it! Kehehe.”

It's the anniversary of Torrent's betrayal of Calypso, and he stops by a small restaurant to distract himself. It's practically empty, as the Light Festival is going on and literally everyone is out in the streets celebrating. Even so, he sits at the counter and gives his order to a young charcadet waitress who's flurrying back and forth with a speed that doesn't seem to fit such an empty restaurant.

The charcadet asks Torrent if he'd like to meet her mother, the chef, because it's a slow day and her mom always gets really moody around this time of year. Some conversation with a new face would do her good, she thinks. Torrent agrees, and is startled to find that he recognizes the marowak that the charcadet drags by the hand out from the kitchen.

Torrent and Calypso reconcile, and Calypso forgives her ex-partner with a tearful hug.

Calypso's daughter, the charcadet waitress whose name is Cinders, eventually discovers the skull helmet Calypso abandoned in a clearing while their family is traveling on a vacation. She puts it on experimentally and evolves into an armarouge clad in bony armor. She thought her parents would be disappointed in her, as she had hoped to evolve into a ceruledge to match her mother's typing, but Calypso especially was overwhelmed seeing Cinders come back to their campsite with her new look. Torrent was taken aback by how openly emotional Calypso was in that moment, as she's usually very closed off.

Gengar is asked by Torrent to be Cinders’s godfather, Gardevoir eventually befriends Gengar despite her amnesia, Calypso’s restaurant goes on to become a destination for travelers, and Rayquaza holds these foolhardy mortals in his heart for centuries after they’re gone.

The end :>

Amethio x Reader | ABC HCs

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Amethio isn't overly affectionate. He doesn't like physical touch as much as a regular person would. Instead, he often shows affection by getting you things that reminded him of you, or spending quality time.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

If the two of you are both Explorers, you probably scolded Sango for annoying him, that paired with your age being similar to his, the two of you became friends after a while.

If you aren't a part of the Explorers, then you met whilst he was out on a mission. He was looking for more information about the black Rayquaza. He was dressed up in a suit to look more formal, and you just so happened to have seen the Rayquaza and the two of you exchanged numbers (it started off being about the Rayquaza, but later turned into the two of you becoming friends).

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Amethio isn't big on physical touch, so he'd always tense up if you hugged him or cuddled with him. After a few seconds of being in a hug, he would relax though.

His hugs are awkward, he isn't sure that he's even doing it right. He has not received any physical touch, so how is he supposed to know how to give it out?

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Amethio is a part of the Explorers, meaning that he can't settle down. Some day, he wants to settle down (but commitment scares him).

I can imagine that he's pretty good at cooking, he prefers to make simpler dishes but he can make something a bit more complex.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

As for cleaning, I can imagine him having a pretty clean living area, until he has a new mission like the one he has now which causes him to have his nose stuck in books and papers, often leaving his study -or any area where he keeps all his notes - relatively messy as he works on missions.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Amethio would break up in person, he would try to break it off in a 'professional' and clean way.

As mentioned before, Amethio is definitely someone who is scared of commitment. Nothing about his life has been in one place, and he's afraid to get too comfortable. What if something goes wrong,? What if you get hurt becuase he's associated with the Explorers?

With that being said, he definitely takes his time. He doesn't want to rush getting married, he wants to make sure that you know all the risks associated with his work and what it means regarding your safety.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

He's closed off and tries to appear more adult, which results in him trying to not be gentle, but I can see him becoming gentle later on in the relationship as he begins to trust you, (he's scared of accidentally harming you, especially when you're softer and more inoccent than him (Aka, being a relatively normal person for your age demographic))

Amethio is awkward when it comes to hugs. He isn't used to physical affection, so it will take take a while (a really long time) to get used to them.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

It takes Amethio a while to say it, most because he's afraid. He's scared of what will happen if you knew. He knows it's a bit silly but he can't help it.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

I can see him getting jealous if someone tries to hit on you, but at the end of the day, he's always trying to hide it because he thinks that jealousy is a "childish" emotion.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Amethio isn't really one for kisses, he'd prefer to hold your hand at most - he isn't embarrassed of you, he's not an affectionate person. If he does give you kisses, they're short and sweet, on your cheek or forehead, but you can see that he actually cares about you.

Amethio is still roughly a teenager (~16-17 imo), so he hasn't thought about kids, but he isn't too fond of them as they're loud and well- kids.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Outside of missions, mornings spent with Amethio are relatively slow. He'd take his time getting up, savouring the rare moments where it's just the two of you,

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Amethio would only share a bed/sleeping space with you if he trusts you, there's something intimate and vulnerable about sleeping in the same bed with someone and letting down your gaurd for hours, trusting that they wouldn't harm you.

He has a wild sleep schedule, but he often makes sure that you're asleep before he goes back to work. If he doesn't have a mission, he'd lay with you. He's horribly greatful that you're in his life.

Amethio is more closed than a book that has three inch steel surrounding it. He keeps his feelings to himself and it takes him a really long time to open up. Not that be doesn't trust you -sometimes it *is* because of that- but it's becuase he doesn't know how to express his emotions. His past though? You'll only learn about it when you've fully gained his trust.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Depends on what happens. In a normal situation, it takes a long to anger him, (whether he's hard to anger or he's good at not showing it is upto debate), but he'll never lash out or harm you. No matter how angry he gets.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Amethio tries to remember every little detail to show you that he's still interested and wants the relationship to keep going.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Amethio's favourite moment was realising that he can trust you when you him that you'll wait for as long as he needed to open up whilst holding his hand. The look in your eyes as you said those words was so pure and wasn't full of any malice.

Amethio has a well trained Cerulege that he isn't afraid to use if someone is a danger to either of you.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Amethio knows he sometimes can't be there, so he puts in extra effort into dates, anniversaries and gifts.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

If he skips an anniversary because of Explorer stuff, you best believe that he'll get you something expensive and he'll bring you to a restaraunt that only Arceus knows how he could afford.

After he gets fired, he has more time for the domestic side of the relationship and happily spends his now-free time with you,

Amethio is super closed off. He rarely shares anything with you, he's trying to get better at expressing himself and telling you more about him, but it's hard for him to let down the walls that he has built.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Amethio tries his best to look neat and presentable whenever he can to look mature and be taken seriously by the other Explorer admins and everyone around him.

After he gets fired, he still tries to look presentable and mature,

At the start, probably, but he'll push down and try to block his feelings, so, not for too long,

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Despite being super busy with missions, Amethio tries his best to spend as much time with you as he can to make up for the lost time. He knows it may not be enough, but he's trying.

He often gets you gifts and trinkets from his travels.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Amethio wouldn't want a dishonest or unloyal partner. He values loyalty and honesty in romantic relationships.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

Because he works for the Explorers, I can't imagine him having a healthy sleep schedule. One night he's up until the sun rises and the next night he's going to bed at 8:30, but in the end, he tries to cram everything in the day so he can spend more time with you at night,

After he gets fired, I can see him trying to fix his sleep schedule to spend more time with you before you leave in the morning for your weekday duties.

To answer a couple of questions that were asked in the tags of my Thomas Jefferson intro

a) for @astronomicalgarbage, who asks if my Jefferson has a thing for Mac and Cheese:

Absofuckinglutely. There's an ongoing fight between me (Canadian) and him (American) about whether Kraft Dinner counts as mac and cheese or an abomination before the lord, and it's one of our favourite meaningless battles. We also correct each other's spelling on papers of words like favourite/favorite and colour/color.

b) for @tex-treasures, who wanted to know our favourite Pokemon and our favourite art periods!

My favourite Pokemon is Ditto, same as it is IRL ^-^ I also have a soft spot for Caterpie and Eevee. My favourite art period is the Pre-Raphaelites.

Thomas's favourite Pokemon are uhhhhhh Luxray, Rayquaza, and he likes Vulpix content. I feel like I don't have the actual knowledge to say what an actual fan like him would like! He likes Neo-Classicalism and chibi art -_-

c) finally, the big question from several people, IS THIS AN APRIL FOOL'S PRANK?

Short answer: yes, I thought it would be fun to do for April Fool's, Miku Binder Thomas Jefferson is not going to be a member of my F/O list. But I do appreciate everyone who turned out to support me <3 <3

Long answer: LMM's version of Thomas Jefferson was genuinely one of the first ten characters I drew selfship art with. As much as I like the aesthetics of the character, I simply have no desire to dive back into that fandom and the politics thereof. My Hamilton/Les Mis era of my life was one of rampant idealism and huge energy and I feel very far away from that earnest wide-eyed first year who was making eight-hour drives to the capital to wave signs on the weekend.

If I was going to selfship with LMM's Thomas Jefferson, I would probably make my own modern design without some of the details from Miku Binder TJeff, but with the same nostalgia for the exaggerated characteristics of the Hamilton fandom (ie. Alex never sleeps, Laurens loves turtles, Lafayette is nonbinary, Thomas loves mac and cheese, everyone has dated everyone else).

But ultimately I'm not going to put in that work. Suffice to say that although this was an April Fool's prank, it was with a lot of heart and genuine enjoyment that I got to explore this dynamic!

[skyedancer2006]

Thinking about my Bridged Toxicity AU’s later stages where Kieran becomes less and less human and I am having Ideas :>c

Since “normal” animals don’t exactly exist in the Pokémon world (at least not in my view of it), he’s pretty much becoming part Pokemon, yeah? So that means he’d have a typing. So, what typing would BT!Kieran be?

Long post ahead, so:

Since the whole situation is caused by the Toxic Chains and Pecharunt, Poison is a given. The second type is the more interesting one to think about.

Going through Kieran’s Indigo Disk team, the types he uses the most are Dark (Grimmsnarl and Incineroar), and Dragon (Dragonite and his ace Hydrapple). If we include his Teal Mask team, we can add Grass to the list (Shiftry and Dipplin), and add Shiftry to the Dark list. He doesn’t really have a type consistency, but it’s a decent starting point.

To keep in line with the types of the Loyal 3 and Pecharunt all being non-elemental types (Fighting, Psychic, Fairy, and Ghost), we can eliminate Grass from the options.

Dark and Dragon are both possibilities. When we look at things associated with each type in-universe though, it gets interesting.

Dark types are associated with evil and deception, for clear reasons. Functionality-wise in game, they tend to be more technical in their usage. Moves with special effects like Swagger and Parting Shot, and unique abilities like Zorua and Zoroark’s Illusion are some of the more iconic aspects of Dark types.

Dragon types on the other hand are more associated with brute force and power. Many legendaries are Dragon type, and so are the majority of pseudo-legendaries. Dragon types are known for often being some of the most offensively capable Pokémon (Take, for example, Mega Rayquaza being banned from many of even the highest VGC rankings because of how overpowered it was).

Kieran is extremely power hungry here; wanting to defeat the MC no matter what, going so far as to make the deal with Pecharunt and becoming chained. Power was his desire, and Pecharunt’s poison brings out and amplifies others’ desires. Plus, his ace is a Dragon type.

So, I’d say that BT!Kieran would be a Poison/Dragon type, if he were to ever be assigned a typing. This might not ever be relevant to the story, but it will probably influence future design choices.
