having a breakdown rn i love my man so much

[moonxpalace]

Even Power Couples need a small, private moment together before entering the grand stadium ✨💕

[satoaiandsonaze]

We all need that someone who gets you like no one else, right when you need it the most.

We all need a soul to rely on, a shoulder to cry on, a friend through the highs and the lows.

I'm not gonna make it alone.

⬆️

Those words, totally what Iris is to our boy Ash.

Words from the song Alone pt. II by Alan Walker. I think I have that song in my Satoai Playlist! If not, let me know and I'll add it.

P J a shipper? SHIP-A-THON ‘18

𝒫𝒶𝓇𝓉 𝐼𝒱

My case in UNOVA/DECOLORE:

NegaiShipping / SatoAi (Ash/Satoshi & Iris): This was a relationship I absolutely adored when BW first started. FINALLY A JUNGLE GIRL WITH NO BIKE FOR ASH TO ZAP xD Also these two goobers feel like brother and sister, eating at the same pace, adventurous, and have their partner by their side since the very beginning! Out of all the main girls, Iris does have the most similar traits with Ash...you can’t deny that. Yes, even the Kodomo ne/”such a kid” trait since both of them are technically xD I really didn’t find it annoying as most people did, in fact I thought it was cute gesture of her to do that to a friend. Favorite moment - Easy, the episode that was made for NegaiShipping! Their argument and reconciliation at Capacia Island with the flower and apple. It’s one of my favorite episodes too in the Decolore arc. Some cute stuff <3

WishfulShipping / DentAi (Cilan/Dent & Iris): Now this is another shipping I initially thought I wouldn’t like, but eventually found myself enjoying as the series progressed! Iris’s rural homegrown attitude compared to Cilan’s sophisticated intellect was another clash of personalities type of ship that everyone seemed to love. When Ash wasn’t in the picture they backed each other up, and cheered each other on when the time for battle commences. Despite their ideal differences they still consider each other to be good friends.  Favorite moment - The episode where I first loved the Wishful pairing...the paranormal Yanmask episode at the Nacarene Museum. Iris and Cilan argue on whether or not there is a ghostlike creature inside the building, but Cilan ignored all her claims and had a more logical point of view. Later on when Cilan was posses, Iris became concerned for him despite that frustrating debate they had.

BestWishesShipping (The whole Unova trio!): I don’t know why, but for some reason I just get a this feeling that this trio can work well in a love triangle. As much as I LOVED and GREW-UP with the original trio of Ash, Brock and Misty, I would prefer this trio in terms of development and overall chemistry (probably gonna get some backlash with that statement). These three definitely pull it off for me as a damn good trio that have their share of laughs, cries and their willingness to learn new things and improve in order to achieve all their dreams.

ImaginationShipping / SatoBel (Ash/Satoshi & Bianca/Bel): A.k.a. please stop pushing me to a puddle of water. Every time when Bianca appears on-screen (or even temporarily travel with them) it’s always fund to her adorable clumsiness affect Ash. It’s literally like she can’t chill with the three of them until she comes into direct contact with Ash some way or another xD Favorite moment - The episode where Ash defended Bianca from her father that wanted her to give up traveling and come home. Her father was absoultely destroying Ash during that battle but she couldn’t take it anymore to see any of his Pokémon hurt and decided to obey her dad. In the end, her papa saw the good heart and nobleness of Ash's determination for a friend like his daughter. Maybe even a new son-in-law in the future.

SommelierShipping / DanCabe (Cilan/Dent & Burgundy/Cabernet): A tasteful ship indeed! The moment I saw another trainer type of Cilan’s kind, I knew I would love this ship. Burgundy’s career path of becoming a Sommlier/Connaisseuse IS BECAUSE OF CILAN...and a lovely revenge I guess. Even after Cilan knew she’s out for revenge he still treats her nicely and even gives advice on becoming a better Connaisseuse. She may be angry at times, but I know deep down she appreciates it ;) Favorite moment - It was in one of the Junior Cup tournament episodes, where she said that she didn’t really care to see Cilan battling. Georgia then teases her that she may have hidden feelings for him in which she ragefully blushed about the statement (blushing in ships is great isn’t it?).

Honorable mentions: Okay there’s A LOT to mention here with the ships I liked in BW, but I’ll try to keep it as brief as I can...gotta love the BW rivals! Stephan and Bianca’s relationship is built on MUSCLES especially with Stephan’s flexing Sawk. Burgundy and Gerogia may despise each other at times but have similar goals of taking down their respective rivals which can make them a really dangerous team if they ever get together. Finally, Ash and Stephan OR Ash and Cameron is the most boyish brOTP in Pokémon with a lot of spunk, battles and full of testosterone! To be honest, I don’t really ship Trip with anyone, but if I had to pick maybe Iris?(they had some good interaction in that one episode) Iris and Shannon’s childhood friendship is too precious for me not to consider it as a SIStp (does that term exist? lol), but it sucks that we didn’t really get to see much of her either (same with Leona in DP). Iris’s Axew and Ash’s Scraggy are my all-around favorite Pokébuddies in the anime! They’re literally brothers doing things together (Scraggy is the younger brother though they’re kinda like twins). Iris and Excadrill’s relationship however didn’t really start off well until she matured to realize winning battles are not what’s important. On a better note, Ash and Meloetta had a cute relationship in the Operation Tempest arc (kind of gave me the movie Latias vibe). Oh yes, and CafeMochaShipping! Dawn maybe Ash’s best FEMALE tag partner, but Cilan without a doubt takes the cake for being his male tag partner when it comes to battles! Cilan, who is older than Ash, looks up to him and wants to “TASTE” everything that is about him (okay, that came out a bit weird...). Oshawott’s lovey dovey attitude when he sees a cute female Pokémon also deserves a mention (dat male Purrloin ep tho). He is the Brock of Pokémon!

P J’s ship-a-thon: OS | AG | DP | BW | XY | SM | Others | Non-Pkmn ships

[gojoest]

what are the au you are living in ? wid satoru

canon divergent where everyone is safe and sound so i can include them in our daily shenanigans :( it’s just important to me for satoru to be his canon self so i can show him how much i love and cherish him for who he is without giving a care about his titles and abilities :( as for myself, most of the time i’m just a normal human being, non-sorcerer. other times i like to imagine myself as a sorcerer on par with him so i can kick his ass (it gets him all hard and bothered) but either way i humble him on the daily

[gojoest]

CAUGHT YOU IN 4K THIS MORNING!

ZEN 😭🩶 this is the absolute sweetest thing someone has ever done to me 😭🩶 thank you!!! this is exactly what i needed this morning 🥺

[gojoest]

Idk if someone asked this before but I wanted to ask who fell first and who fell harder?

satoai is love at first sight but he fell harder and i followed shortly after 🤍 when our eyes met for the first time we both knew we were each others person. i tried to play hard to get at the beginning just to torture him (affectionately) little bit bc he’s so stinky and cute when he tries to impress me and win me over, it makes me love him even harder 🥹

[gojoest]

sweet ai! if i'm remembering right, you and gojo have kiddos? i saw the question you posted and if you feel like it, i would love to know who your kids take after!

darling amira <3 we have two daughters (twins) and a son and they all look more like him ( : especially our son, he’s the spitting image of his father—white hair, blue eyes, chubby cheeks and big beautiful smile—just like chibi toddler satoru ^-^ the girls too have their father’s colors but my features (if that makes sense) i never knew his white hair & blue eyes would be such a stubborn gene >:( and satoru’s is so insufferable about this bc he turns it into a competition and won’t ever shut up about it but i know he secretly wishes they looked more like me hehe :3

[gojoest]

in what country do you live with satoru ? :)

i honestly have never thought about that 😭

[gojoest]

i am so in love with him ;-; f! reader, husband satoru, refers to you as my wife + love + stinky, she/her pronouns mentioned in one place, wearing his shirt, satoai coded ngl

a late-night stroll to the store for an ice cream treat after dinner turns into an impromptu date, leading you both to a secluded meadow, a quiet and lovely spot perfect for stargazing.

satoru plops down on the ground, stretching his long legs as best as he can to make his lap a comfortable seat for you. he can’t have you sitting on the raw grass after all—you came unprepared, and now he’s taking the role of a blanket beneath you. “park that pretty ass here, love”, he taps on his lap once, then opens his arms big to welcome you. you giggle softly, “so chivalrous of you”, as you crouch down and rest yourself atop of him, back leaning against his chest. his arms quickly and naturally wrap themselves around your waist, holding you close.

“well of course”, his chin nuzzled in the crook of your neck from behind, he breathes in your scent and pecks a soft kiss right behind your ear. “can’t have my lovely wife sit on the ground without a blanket and ruin that lovely dress-like oversized shirt with grass stains, you know?”

“oh, i get it now”, you chuckle, giving a light pinch on the flesh of his arm. “it’s because this is your shirt that i’m wearing”

“no, no, you’ve got it all wrong. it’s because this—”, he grabs around you more tightly now, dragging out a cackle from you at the ticklish sensation his fingers cause digging deeper at your sides to rock you back and forth along with him, “—is my lovely wife we’re talking about, and her place is on my lap, always”

“aha, so you will say. stinky”, you tilt your head up to peek at him, trying hard to fight off the silly grin threatening to crack through your fake pout. his honeyed words always manage to get to you. “but it’s the shirt, i know it”, you persist.

“you are stinky—for thinking i’d treasure a mere shirt more than you”, his lips peck the tip of your nose, wetting it a little, then pull away to continue. “while i simply envy the ground that makes contact with your body. i’d kiss and worship each and every surface you step and sit on, but to be completely honest—i’d rather nothing ever touched you, but myself only”, face charging closer again to repeat the action from seconds ago, but this time the kiss is aimed at your mouth — and you cave, he is just too loveable not to. your lips curve into a soft smile before meeting his and melting into a beautiful mess of tender chuckles and fervent hums.

“we came to watch the stars, remember?”, you breathe into his mouth before pulling away. a pained growl incurs from his throat at the loss of your warm lips. “no”, his neck craning lower, chasing after what he’s lost. “don’t care about the stars when i have the entire universe in my arms”

…you cave, again. the stars can wait.

[gojoest]

We talk a lot abt husband this gojo "I love my wife” that but WHAT ABT THE WEDDING?? WHAT WOULD THE WEDDING BE LIKE???

could be either satoai or in general!

it’s a very small, cozy wedding! only a select few are invited — closest friends and students. his clan does not know about it lol

the official registration of your marriage happens beforehand, on a whim which is lowkey how satoru proposes to you (can hardly be considered a proposal tbf). he doesn’t say anything to you, just drives you to the ward office one morning and once there he’s like “how about we get married?” (he’s locked the car doors to ensure you won’t escape jksjhsj)

the only ppl that know about this are shoko and geto bc they’re called there to be your witnesses

the celebration is very, very small really. and it is also a surprise to those invited. like they don’t know that’s your wedding they’re coming to bc satoru only sent them a location, without any context. he’s like “forgot to tell you this was our wedding party, heheh~ sowwy!!”

nanami and megumi are especially annoyed by this lol and you’re like “if that helps you feel better, i didn’t know we were getting married either, until this morning”

the setting is similar to this btw, but with one huge table for everyone to gather around and be together on your special day 🤍

p.s. all night long satoru wears the most genuine, the softest, heartfelt smile people have ever seen on him. he beams with utter happiness, the kind that makes his eyes wet. and each time he looks at you—they well up even more. but the smile? the smile doesn’t go away, even though his lips tremble ever so slightly 🤍

I saw one of yours reblogs, and I thought to myself: with the exception of ash x “the main girl” ships, others aren’t that famous. Ash x Anabel and Ash x Angie, I remember I thought they were so cute back when I was watching the battle frontier and DP seasons (they are top 4 and 5 in my list nowadays, respectively). I guess my question is: before our beloved negaishipping and best dragon master appeared, did you had a favorite ash ship lily? One with a main girl or another secondary character?

I'll be frank with you

Despite watching the previous sagas before BW, I didn't ship anyone. I did notice that some characters may had crushes on each other, but I didn't care 😭

And then these two idiots changed everything

Nowadays I do like ships such as Ash x Angie/ Anabel/ Gou/ Gary/ May/ Lillie. I also see the appeal of other Ash x main girl ships! But since SatoAi is so darn underrated and overhated, I mostly draw content for them.

Mostly I ship Ash with characters that have a natural and fun dynamic with him. A good match with him would be someone with similar interests, who adores pokemon and battles as much as him, all while staying playful and childish. Iris fits this bill without changing her characterization, which is perfect.

Tbh I have a verrrryyy soft spot for Ash x Angie. The summer camp episodes in DP were super fun and cute 🥹 A top tier ship, imo!

How about you? What was your first ship? I remember you said you didn't care much for SatoAi before journeys. I'm curious about your thoughts!

[moonxpalace]

For @satoaiandsonaze

For being an amazing and supportive friend, who is always there no matter what. I know how much you like SatoAi and Sonaze, so I put the two ships together, as Sonic and Blaze cosplaying Ash and Iris respectively c:

Hope you like it, CJ!

[moonxpalace]

Negaishipping oneshot bc the world needs more SatoAi fluff

"You don’t know that?" Iris sighed. “Such a kid.”

“That’s ironic coming from you! I’m four months older than you!”

“Ash, Iris, please. Could you keep it down?” Cilan asked. He was restraining from losing his cool, which was a clear sign that Ash and Iris were driving him up the wall, since the connoisseur rarely ever lost his temper.

The woods they were passing through was dense and the weather humid. The sun shone mercilessly above them. They had been walking for hours now, and the nearest town was still many miles away.

Ash reached for his water bottle. He winced at how it was almost empty, with only a few drops left which he was supposed to save for later.

“You shouldn’t have downed almost the entire bottle back there,” Iris said, appearing beside him.

“Would you just SHUT IT, Iris!?” Ash snapped.

Iris flinched. “I was just-”

“I don’t wanna hear “told you so” or “such a kid” coming from you! I get it! I’ve had enough!”

“Pika,” Pikachu exclaimed, jumping on his trainer’s shoulder and poking his z-marked cheek. The electric rodent had a sad look upon its cute face, his ears drooping down. Ash’s harsh words didn’t sit well with him, and now he was afraid he’d go too far.

“I wasn’t going to say that,” Iris said, her whole demeanor shifting from playful to hurt. “I was just going to offer you some … y-you know what? Forget it! I’m gonna leave you alone.”

“Thank you!” Ash spat and fastened his pace.

Ash kept walking ahead of his friends, trying to think of anything other than this torturous heat.

After a while, during sunset, they finally reached their destination. A large, beautiful lake appeared before them. Ash and Pikachu cheered and ran ahead. Ash looked back, only to scrunch his face in confusion.

“Cilan … Where’s Iris?”

“She leapt up in a tree a long while ago,” Cilan replied. “Knowing Iris, she’s probably keeping up with us by jumping from branch to branch.”

“Oh,” Ash replied. He looked down, scratching the back of his head. He knew Iris was familiar with the woods and could take care of herself … But just disappearing like that? Was she okay?

“Of course she’s fine!” Ash said to himself. “Iris can make medicines and have better acrobatic skills than anyone I know. She should be here sooner or later.”

“Well, I’m starting on the dinner. It should be done in about an hour,” Cilan said and carefully took off his backpack. He immediately began to unload his kitchenware.

“Great! I’m going for a swim,” Ash said and practically tore off his travelling attire.

Ash and Pikachu jumped into the lake. The cold and refreshing water felt like a blessing, although the weather had become quite mild since the had sun began to set.

Ash broke the lake surface and eyed Pikachu floating on his back. With a cheeky grin, he creeped closer before splashing handfuls of water on his partner. Ash laughed as Pikachu squealed, before using his tail to propel water right back towards Ash.

Pikachu was relentless. Ash ducked under the water to escape from Pikachu’s “wrath.” He swam deeper and deeper into the dark lake, marveling at all the Unovan pokemon swimming around him. The underwater plants swayed along the mild waves and the sunlight tore through the water surface and displayed a serene, calm and beautiful scene.

Now that Ash had cooled down and felt refreshed, he felt pretty bad for yelling at Iris. He didn’t even remember what they had been fighting about. Fighting over stupid stuff was just their thing, and then they laughed and made up.

But the scorching Unovan sun had been unbearable. And he had been so freaking thirsty. Why did he have to yell at her!? Iris didn’t deserve that the slightest! Only now Ash realized Iris intended to share her water bottle with him, since she didn’t drink most of her water up like he did.

Iris would love to swim with him while Cilan made dinner. She’d love this great underwater wonderland.

He’d love to have her beside him.

Ash’s muscles ached. His eyelids became heavy. All of the walking had taken its toll on him, and now he felt drowsy.

That’s when everything turned black.

---

Faint voices were the first thing Ash sensed.

His vision was bleary, the colors mixing onto one another. He couldn’t tell what he was looking at, but he felt something unbelievably soft on his lips. As his breath hitched, he could see some movement.

Ash blinked, seeing some sort of figure moving before him. A beautiful, feminine figure with long, dark hair and white clothes.

His guardian angel?

He coughed violently. His throat and lungs feeling like they were on fire.

“Ash!” came a soft and familiar voice.

Ash sat up, coughing and snapping for air.

“Ash, you’re okay!”

He looked up again, seeing Iris’ bright smile. She was only wearing her white leggings and white singlet. Although she was completely soaked with water, he could tell her eyes were teary.

Before he could reply, she lunged forwards and engulfed him in a tight hug.

“Gah- Iris! Not so tight!”

“That’s enough, Iris,” Cilan said and pulled her off Ash. He then turned to the wannabe pokemon master. “How do you feel? You gave us a good scare back there, Ash.”

“I’m okay,” Ash said and coughed again. “Man, my throat hurts …”

“Pika!”

“Axew!”

“Gahhh!” Ash was once again tackled by Pikachu and Axew in a big hug.

Iris and Cilan laughed.

“How long was I underwater?” Ash asked once he recovered. Pikachu sat on his shoulder, while Axew settled down on his lap.

“I’m not sure. I was busy with making dinner when Pikachu alerted me. Before I could come get you, Iris had already dived into the lake and dragged you out.”

Ash turned to Iris, who blushed and looked down.

Cilan looked between them and smiled knowingly. “I’ll go check on the soup,” he said and left.

Ash rubbed underneath his nose. “S-sorry, Iris. I was a jerk back then. I wasn’t mad at you, it was just the heat that got the better of me.”

“It’s okay,” Iris said, still not looking at him. "I wasn't innocent myself."

“Still, somehow, you always seem to be there when I need you. Like that time when you saved me from that scorching water back at the hot springs, and when you stayed up all night to make medicine for Scraggy!”

“Don’t worry about it, what are friends for?” Iris said and got up on her feet, reaching out a hand towards him.

Ash smiled and grabbed her hand, letting her help him up. Pikachu and Axew ran off to play together.

Iris shivered, rubbing her bare arms as a slight wind blew by. The two of them headed back to camp, Ash offering her his hoodie. Iris happily wrapped it around her smaller frame, smiling at the warmth it provided with.

Ash thought back at the soft sensation on his lips. Was he tripping, or was Iris close to his face back there? Was she … Oh, Arceus.

“Iris!”

Iris flinched a little. “Yes, Ash?”

“Did you kiss me back there?”

Iris’ eyes turned wide. “No! I was giving you mouth to mouth resuscitation!”

Ash looked at her blankly. “So, your lips were on mine?”

“Yes.”

“So, we did kiss!”

“No! Ash, you’re such a kid!”

“Am not!”

“This is going to be a long night,” Cilan said.

“Pika pika.”

“Ax axew.”

@fuckyeahcadence As I promised you before, I'm tagging you anytime I write for the sillies 😭💕

[moonxpalace]

SatoAi timeline

Ok, here is the "masterpost" I promised to get a overview my future Pkmn AU. I have this timeline in mind whenever I draw Ash and Iris as teenagers/ adults.

Travelling companions through Unova and beyond: This remain unchanged. Ash and Iris are 10 years old, while Cilan is 15.

Alola/ world champion + Unova champion: While Ash has traveled to Kalos, Alola and Galar to grain more knowledge and get stronger as a trainer, Iris remains mostly to herself as she travels wherever the wind takes her. She does train under Clair in Johto, though! And Drayden takes her under his wings and helps her improve her battling skills in Opelucid Gym. Iris is hesitant to become the new Opelucid City gym leader (she kind of doubts herself as a trainer). When Axew evolves into Fraxure, Iris confidence boosts. She decides to keep battling in Unova's many tournaments, and in the end she becomes champion. She is super happy to discover Ash has become champion in Alola as well. After Drayden finally convinces her, she decides to send him a letter for a battle request. Here they are between 11 - 12.

Close friends: As Ash and pikachu continue their endless journey, Iris also decides to take her Dragon Master goal more seriously. Through the ages of 12 - 16, Ash and Iris start getting closer by deciding to visit each other region (when they have time!), through letters and social media. Ash discovers Iris is the only one who knows the stress of being champion/ being in the limelight personally. They love to talk together, laugh and vent whenever things are tough. Ash' Dragonite and Goodra escpecially LOVE Iris, while Bayleef takes a long while to warm up to her. Cilan is the one who notices Iris may have a thing for Ash, while Ash doesn't really get why he feels so "weird" around Iris. After catastrophic first date at the Striaton cafe, Ash walks Iris back to her hotel. Iris thinks Ash is just being nice after the wild events at the cafe, but when he admits everything was fun and asks shyly if she wants to go out some other time, she happily agrees. And that's when they start being an item!

Dating: At age 16 both are still champions: Known for their incredible battling skills and bond with their pokemon. Ash and Iris are still going strong, with only their family and friends knowing. Neither likes attention, so they try to keep their relationship private. If they do hold hands or flirt in public, it's mostly in Pallet Town or the Village of Dragons. Unfortunately the paparazzi is always on their case.

Officially dating: Ash and Iris makes their relationship official at age 18 (and the media has a blast). Iris has given Ash the spare key to her apartment in Opelucid City so he can pop up whenever he has time. Iris prefers to sleep in trees and spend her time out in the forest, anyways. She only has an apartment because Drayden insists so. Drayden is not too happy to find Ash slouching on her couch/ bed whenever he visits.

Proposal: Ash proposes at age 19. Neither really make a big deal about it, but oh boy, does Delia, Cilan and Dawn get overly excited about the wedding of the century. Ash and Iris careers still eats up most of their time, so they take their sweet time with the wedding ... until Iris discovers she's pregnant. Ash sort of panics, even if Iris says it's not really a big deal. Even despite her protests, Ash makes sure the wedding takes place as soon as possible.

Oliver: They have Oliver at age 21. Iris is relaxed about the whole ordeal, while Ash is lowkey worried about their current situation. Ash has moved in with Iris in Opelucid city, and while Drayden and Delia help out as much as they can, he would still like them to settle down a place more rural. Ash doesn't want Oliver to grow up in the middle of the city with all the pollution and the cars speeding by. A year and a half later, they buy land next to his childhood home in Pallet Town. The garden has plenty of space for all their Pokemon, which fits them just perfect.

Lillian: Lillian comes along three years after Oliver. Unlike Oliver, she is a stubborn little baby that refuses to sleep. Thankfully she mellows out after a few months. Lillian adores Oliver and follows him around much to his annoyance. She also likes the limelight a lot and is not camera shy at all. Both kids are close to their parents' pokemon, especially Pikachu, who they refer to as "uncle Pika"

Ash still as his gimmicks from before, while Iris obtains the Dragon type Z-crystal ( @zeldriszezinho 's idea btw!!! Thank you for letting me borrow it ^^)

[gojoest]

What would satoai wedding be like? Would his clan get involved (or attempt to)? Would you have a traditional Japanese wedding or a regular wedding?

omg hii, i briefly talked about it here as a general hc but it also applies to satoai. a lot of the things i say on here usually stem from my selfship tbf

so! we register our marriage, very early into our relationship and very out of the blue as mentioned in the linked post AHAHAH his clan does not get involved bc they just don’t know a single thing about satoru’s intentions, not that he would let them meddle if they knew what he was up to in the first place. in general they have very little information on his personal life

we have a small, cozy celebration after that with a very tight group of friends. it’s not traditional by any means, and it is not even a regular one. nobody actually has any idea they’re about to attend our wedding party — it’s like a surprise announcement that we just got married! shoko & geto know already bc they had to come witness for us after satoru failed to convince random passerby to fulfill that sacred duty. i think he came off too strong and aggressive so he scared the strangers off AHAHAH. the two also help with organizing the little party + luring out our closest ones to be present without leaking any info why
