#she asks larry to not overwork

[wyrdle]

In love with this post, OP. Tbh, something I hope we’ll get is this overload of responsibility chipping at her mask of calmness and self assuredness. Like, burning out from micromanaging everyone, as well as crumbling from the isolation/distance that comes with being a leader like this. No one likes their boss, and the E4 feel like a pseudo found familyge where she’s excluded... which is a little sad.

I’m hoping DLC or in fanworks more people will tune into the above, especially since her oversight of Area Zero’s research and its endangerment to students + rest of Paldea would probably weigh heavily on her mind/conscience. As in: “I’m already doing all this for this vision of Paldea but holy shit this giant crater was going to hurt so many people and pokemon, I’ve fucked up big time by neglecting this.” We don’t get to see her react to the fact that the Prof died, the time machine was fucked up etc. I like to pretend she and the director have a much more serious discussion after, and that she even checks up on the 4 kids for their wellbeing out of both concern and guilt.

She’s a flawed boss, but still a compassionate/kind person. The decisions she made got her and Paldea here, I’m sure it influences/affects her and would be a great push towards some character development/change for relations with people around her/work for her.

Regarding this post I made earlier examining Geeta's antics in Paldea.

In Defense of Geeta

I feel like Geeta absolutely was written to be the shitty boss she is intentionally. There's too many situations where attention is drawn to her bad habits, either as them being directly pointed out or indirectly referenced. But what I really hope the case ends up being is that she's not at all a villain. Pokemon has gone the route of the suspicious CEO-type character being the "twist villain nobody could have seen coming!" for several games now. It's getting pretty old and I feel like it would be a weak direction for S/V to take.

Interestingly enough, one actually can look at all of Geeta's actions and not really see anything nefarious about them. Discussion after the jump for the sake of spoilers and wall'o'text.

It's very easy to look at Geeta and think she's a Bad Guy, given her strange behavior and all the negative attention she gets among the fandom. I'm certainly not innocent of seeing her in a less than endearing light, given my prior post. But a lot of that view does come from real world parallels and comparing the game's presentation to past Pokemon games in which nobody ever says the slightest criticism of the Champion, which may not necessarily be fair.

One of the biggest justifications Players have to indicate Geeta is bad is the way she meddles with the Gym Leaders and how corporate she's made the League. I pointed that out myself. But to flip it around... maybe she behaves that way because it's what the Gym Leaders need?

We constantly see Geeta inserting herself into events throughout the game. She shows up at the Academy, pops up at Gyms seemingly at random, and is always talking about how she has other pressing business that pulls her away from lingering too long. The only way she gets time to participate in casual encounters is when others (usually Nemona or the Player, if not both) take some of her workload off her plate. While I criticized the way Geeta had apparently deeply intertwined the Pokemon League, the Academy, and the Paldean economy itself, it does stand to reason doing so puts a ton of work on her having to maintain it. That's her own doing though, so it's a case of her getting what she signed up for and she never seems to shy away from it despite her habit of recruiting others to help.

The Gym Leaders, though? While they do remark about Geeta meddling with them, giving frequent reviews, and otherwise sticking her nose into their business, they've also shown that they're all pretty flaky. Rather, they're a total mess both individually and collectively. It's possible that the reason Geeta is constantly keeping an eye on them is because they need that in order to fit the direction Geeta is trying to guide the League in.

When we meet each of the Gym Leaders both in our first encounter and in the rematch post-game, we learn a lot about their behaviors through casual exposure. All of the Gym Leaders have a job besides running a Gym and, with the exception of Grusha, all of them show that running the Gym is by no means their top priority. Nor are any of them especially reliable when it comes to managing their Gyms. Based on past games, we're accustomed to Gym Leaders taking a large amount of pride in their position and holding it in esteem even when they also had other simultaneous jobs. We've seen Gym Leaders and Elite Four who were also artists, performers, athletes, CEOs, and such before. That's not the case with Paldea though; to these Gym Leaders, it's just a job and not necessarily one they put a lot of personal investment into compared to their actual passions/careers. It's mentioned that Geeta "strong-armed them" into taking on the role, which can be read that she went out of her way to convince strong, capable Trainers to become Gym Leaders for the sake of Paldea and because she saw the potential they held but weren't utilizing.

Katy flat-out forgot that she was under review and only appeared for the rematch by pure coincidence because she just so happened to visit that day. When we first meet Kofu, he and his assistant are both a totally scatterbrained mess. Iono only bothers with being a Gym Leader because it gets her viewership for her streamer career; if something else better came along, she'd surely jump for it immediately. Brassius is very upfront about his artistic passions being the number one thing in his life and openly abandons his responsibilities as a Gym Leader to pursue them during the rematch. Tulip's modeling career keeps her busy and she only has just enough time to show up for a brief match before immediately leaving to get back to her work. Ryme is more focused on her music career and wasn't even the original Gym Leader; that position belonged to her sister, Professor Tyme, who left the role to become a teacher. Larry, despite being the most vocal about his dislike of Geeta's habits, is also the most distracted as he has three simultaneous jobs and constantly works overtime. Finally, Grusha doesn't have any job besides being a Gym Leader, but that's only due to an injury that has made it impossible for him to pursue his original passion. That same injury has likewise cost him his motivation and drive to improve; he's only hanging onto his role as Gym Leader because he doesn't think he has anything else going for him now.

With all that in mind, it makes sense a rigid sort like Geeta would want to keep a close watch and short leash on all these unreliable personalities, doesn't it? She has to keep tabs on them because they risk failing the various Trainers who hope to challenge them otherwise, along with squandering their own potential. Geeta is always very open about her desire to foster powerful Trainers out of Paldea, if nothing else. After the rematch, all the Gym Leaders express a level of understanding and even appreciation toward Geeta for what she's done for them. Grusha and Larry stand out in particular, as they both confess that her meddling has helped motivate them to go beyond what they've settled into. Where Larry mentions that Geeta will dock his pay if he wastes time, he also mentions that she insists he stop overworking himself with overtime hours. So it's possible she's simultaneously trying to keep him focused without letting him overdo it as well.

When it comes to how corporate Geeta has made the League, that's not technically fair to say either. It's an easy shorthand but not entirely accurate. The goal of corporations is to make profit no matter what, but that's not really Geeta's motivation. She's not looking to get rich or powerful, but to rally as many genuinely powerful and talented Trainers up within Paldea as she can. That, in and of itself, isn't at all a bad thing and is commonly shared among all regions that have a League. While I criticize League Points as being company scrip, it does supply not just Trainers but all citizens of Paldea with an alternative way of funding themselves. This would include the Gym Leaders; despite common remarks (which I have made myself) about Geeta not paying the Gym Leaders a living wage, it's entirely possible they do indeed make plenty to thrive on and just have their non-Gym Leader job because that's their true passion that they want to put their effort into. Be it cash or League Points, they do have a salary. Larry himself mentions it outright, while Grusha and Brassius don't seem to be in any financial straits despite their unstable working conditions outside the Gyms. When it comes to the region's economy as a whole, subsidizing major commercial chains throughout the region just to make food and supplies more accessible can't be cheap; when you sell goods to the PokeMart for cash, you only get a fraction of the total value, but get significantly more (usually double) the value in League Points. Geeta's overall emphasis doesn't seem to be shaping the League and its sphere of influence within Paldea to make herself wealthy or powerful, but rather to make the whole affair as plainly efficient and self-sustaining as possible. In that regard, she's done a fantastic job.

When all is said and done, I genuinely hope Geeta isn't a villain but simply a boss with lofty visions, exacting demands, and absolutely terrible interpersonal skills. I feel like she'd be a lot more interesting that way in that she'd be a genuinely flawed person without her issues just being dismissed as "because she's the Bad Guy".

[leggerefiore]

I've always wondered what it would be like if Pokemon Masters was a thing in the Pokemon world and how da boyz (Maybe Ingo, Emmet, Larry, and Cyrus) would react to their s/o's maxed out 5/5 EX units of them. Every alt, all theme skills maxed out, etc. Why do they tweet "honey come home" on social media with screenshots of the banners...? They come home to them everyday...

cw: short, mostly confused men

characters: Ingo, Emmet, Larry, Cyrus, Grimsley

▲Ingo▼

● He does not really think about the game. They asked for the right to use his likeness, and he had agreed. His brother and him had long since been Unovan icons, so this was something that he was very used to. You, however, were very into it. Ingo knew little of what was actually going on with it, but if you liked it, he supposed it must have been fine with what it did to him. Then, you finally showed him the model of him in the game. He was confused. Why was he red? The question was asked aloud, to which you explained that he was ex'd and more powerful. The older twin blink and felt aged by at least thirty years. What did that mean? Then, you showed him the butler costume. He supposed it was fine enough (he was not the biggest fan of the monocle), but in switching over, he noticed a little five out five. The explanation that followed related to that was long and bewildering. You had to “roll” for him? Was this gambling? He felt worried. Apparently, you had “maxed” him out at level 150 and fully upgraded him. He wished he understood.

● The tweets make him more confused. Come home? Had he been working too much that you were projecting onto the fictionalised version of himself?! He needed to get a day off soon and spend time with you. Before he could rush off, somehow, a younger Depot Agent noticed his panic and opted to check in on him, fearing something might have happened in the station. A quick explanation made their eyes go wide, and a chuckle left them. They had easily clarified that you were talking about getting him in your pulls in the game and not about his schedule in reality. Ingo felt lost. What did any of this mean? He was still going home early to ask you personally. This was all too much for the Subway Boss's mind to comprehend. He needed to write another train timetable to calm himself down.

▽Emmet△

○ He had heard of the app and agreed to let them use his likeness. Granted, since Ingo had agreed before him, he wondered if they technically already had that? Ingo looked exactly like him, after all… Putting that aside, it was not exactly something that he would enjoy. Yet, you, his darling, absolutely did. He saw you often grumbling about events and how they were “bleeding you dry,” at various different times. Emmet felt curious about if you had him at one point and finally asked. He had been entirely unprepared for what was to come. You eagerly gushed about how strong his unit was and showed him a green version of himself with apparently completed stats. He felt complimented on his strength yet also bewildered. Why was he green? The uniform did look nice, but… Before he questioned the colour anymore, you showed him the butler costume he had. Emmet blinked. It was also fully upgraded. He just nodded along as you continued to explain things. It seemed he was verrrry much beloved by you in many ways.

○ Elesa showed him the tweets, and he had felt mortified. Come home?! Had he been overworking unconsciously? He had been so careful with his schedule and felt like he had been coming home an appropriate amount of the time. Before he could pack his things and abandon Elesa at the café they were trying together, she grabbed his arm and kept him down. She rolled her eyes and explained that you were trying to get him in the game. He huffed. Well, the phrasing made him worry. He still wanted to at least call you. The model let him. Your laughter at his concern killed it, at least. You were talking about the butler costume, not him. He was now silently making plans for when he got home.

💼Larry🏢

🍙 When Geeta asked everyone in the Paldea league (alongside a few student trainers), if they would let their likenesses be used in some phone game, he had initially wanted to say no. Larry barely let the league itself use his face, much less some company who might do who knows what with him. Yet, you, his dear partner, got so excited when he mentioned it offhandedly that he was almost inspired to agree. Now, months later, you had come to sit next to him on the couch and eagerly show him the finished product of it. There he stood in your game, looking as exhausted as he did in real life and wandering around with his briefcase. Dudunsparce was the pokemon that they had decided on for him, it seemed. He blinked, registering himself again. Why was he in a pale green suit? Your explanation that this was his EX form got a nod from him, but he really did not understand. You also explained other things, but he truly did not understand. Yes, he was max level and five out of five'd. Of course. He simply was glad that you were happy with the results.

🍙 Rika had shown him the tweet with a chuckle. He stared at it. What did this mean? Were you so lonely that you were posting about the fake version of him in your phone game? He swallowed. Maybe it was time to ask if he could have some takes cut back or rescheduled because you clearly needed him more than he thought. Rika caught his shoulder before he could stagger off, though. She explained that you were simply trying to get more of him in Masters, not that you missed him currently. He nodded. Sure. That was possible, but… He still felt concerned. Rika set him free, and he went to ask Geeta to be let off early today. She said no. (You reassured him when he did get off that Rika had been correct but appreciated his effort and concern.)

🌌Cyrus🛰

☄️ Saturn had signed them up to get their message and plans across to a new audience. He felt odd about letting a company go wild with his likeness but ultimately trusted his second-in-command with the decision. He had not expected his partner to eagerly show him their phone one day and see himself. Apparently, you were a fan of the game Saturn had licensed out to. He gazed at the alternate version of himself. He wore a purple vest and had Palkia as his pokemon. That seemed good enough for him. But, you excitedly continued to show him all that you had done. Apparently, he was fully upgraded, whatever that meant, and you found his damage very adequate. He nodded along as he tried to understand what any of this meant. Internally, he made a note to ask Saturn about this later. You did complain that he was a free unit, so they did not make him too good, whatever that meant. Then you showed him the Darkrai alternate, and he had many questions. (And an interest in the clothing, actually.)

☄️ Mars had shown him a tweet you made, posting a picture of a screenshot from the game with that Darkrai alternate front and centre. “Come home, Cy😭,” it read. Come home… Had you become that lonely? Had he ignored your needs that badly? His posture tensed, but he attempted to keep the emotions from truly crossing his face. He felt mortified that he had failed to notice your condition. With a quick excuse, he found himself rushing away to call you and figure out what you needed. Your laughter through the phone as he explained the situation silenced him. You had been wanting to get another “pull” of him in Masters, was all. Cyrus was both relieved and annoyed. He ended the call politely and sat down at his desk. This is another reason he needed his new world, he believed.

♠️Grimsley❤️

♤ When he had been asked for permission to use his image in a game, he had not been so surprised. The ex-Elite Four member had been an icon of sorts in the gambling world and competitive battle scene, yet he found the game itself not overly befitting of him. They had used his younger self, especially, it seemed. Grimsley was not ignorant of gachas. In truth, he had found himself a little addicted as they fulfilled his thrill seeking behaviour in a pleasant, cheap way. You, however, seemed very much into Masters EX. You had leaned into his side one day to eagerly show him all your hard work. Apparently, he had a few forms now. His old suit that he used to be his staple outfit, a “Sygna suit” based off a Sharpedo's look (which got a proper grin out of him), and his current look. He listened closely as you explained that you worked so hard to fully upgrade him. How difficult it was to pull him since he rarely got spotlights and was all general pool. Despite the terminology not being exactly what he was used to, he really did understand. You got a genuine praise out of the gambler, who felt his ego swell at how much you clearly adored him.

♡ He was shown the tweet by Nanu, who had originally been shown it by Acerola. The Kahuna was fully ready to scold him for not paying enough attention to his partner that they were now turning to fictional versions of him to get their fill. Grimsley cocked a brow. Apparently, you were working to finish off his “kimono” variant and were getting desperate. The surfer shrugged off Nanu's concern with it being terminology that he just did not understand. The Kahuna narrowed his eyes but gave up quickly. The old man would instead go check with you personally. (You were fine – Grimsley spent most of his free time with you.)

[pokenimagines]

SFW Grusha fic, could we have him with a burnt out champion s/o? Like the s/o has been utterly overworking themself and choosing their pokemon's wellbeing over theirs?

Bro let's go; burnt out reader. I'm sure 90% of us have dealt with serious burn out and it sucks ass.

Rules | Discord Server (16+)

SFW Grusha: Burnt Out

"So this is it? You're just quitting?" Grusha asked, as you hummed. The bags under your eyes had never been so prominent in your life; you let out a huge yawn, as you looked over at Grusha. You were just hanging out when you decided to tell him the news.

"Yup, I'm all done. I don't think I can do it anymore. I might battle on occasion, but...I'm kinda just...done." You admitted. You had been one of the youngest champions in the region, and with that came a lot of responsibility.

Nobody told you becoming a Champion meant that you'd be doing so much league work. You were always running around for the Chairwoman, going form gym to gym to test their strength, or even dealing with random disturbances. Free time was lost on you...hell most of your childhood and early twenties were now lost. That isn't even taking account for your team...

"You can't just quit..." Grusha grumbled, getting a bit pissed, "I thought you loved battling."

"I do...I really do but...Grusha how many gym challengers do you face every week?" You asked, turning to him.

"Maybe two a week, sometimes three. During the Treasure Hunt I can get up to ten a week." Grusha said and you hummed.

"Wanna know what I did yesterday?" You asked and he was quiet, "Seven black crystals popped up. Nemona was busy, so I had to go across half the region to take them down. Took twelve hours. My team is still sleeping." You commented.

"You took down...seven of them?" Grusha asked.

"Orders from the Chairwoman. Next week I'm going to all the gyms to fight everyone. I got a solid three days to fight all of you guys. Then the week after, I need to check in on the training camps. The chairwoman told me this morning, that tomorrow I need to deal with one of the titans that's acting up, so gotta deal with that as well." You explained. Grusha was silent for a few moments.

"What about Nemona?" Grusha asked and you shrugged.

"She's got her own things going on. Especially since she's leaving the region soon, so she can try her hand at Galar's gym challenge. Once she's gone I can only imagine the workload I'll be receiving." You said with a huff.

"What about a vacation then? Set some boundaries with the chairwoman as well. You and your team are burnt out." Grusha said; finally understanding. When he used to do snowboarding professionally, there were a few times that he debated quitting for the same reasons. He loved it, but everything got to be too much.

"Think that'll work?" You asked, turning to him.

"La Primera isn't ruthless...I don't think. She's just capable of lots of work and expects that of everyone else. She probably doesn't realize what she's doing." Grusha finally said.

"Man...she's gonna turn me into Larry 2.0 at this rate." You chuckled and Grusha groaned, hitting your side.

"Don't even joke about that." Grusha said, a bit annoyed, "I can't be seen with someone so lame."

"Whatever...fine...I'll ask her for vacation as well as work condition changes...but you're coming with." You said, as you decided you'd be doing that right now.

"Wait...why?" Grusha said, eyes widening a fraction.

"It was your idea, obviously. Now let's go!"

Characters I've Seen Unfairly Demonized by the Pokemon Fandom (and why)

Lance (Hyper Beamed a guy, underleveled Dragonite, was an ecoterrorist in the Manga)

Clair (Made you chase her down to get the badge, bit of an ego)

Whitney (kind of an ego, cries when she loses, absolutely infuriating Miltank)

Lt. Surge (Always portrayed as a bad guy in non-game works, ex-military)

Sabrina (Was a Rocket Admin in the Manga)

Koga (Also a Rocket Admin in the Manga, kinda stand-off-ish)

Arceus (Closest thing Pokemon has to the Christian God (despite not being the Christian God) and therefor considered a good outlet for anyone who's mad at god, kidnapped a child from the future and may have stranded them in the past permanently, people like making Giratina the protagonist and since Arceus=God and Giratina=Devil then any story with a good Giratina has to have an evil Arceus to fight even though both of them are more neutral parties in canon)

Giratina (not as common, in fact Giratina is more often than not glorified and made a purely heroic figure instead of the more neutral but ultimately positive party it was portrayed as in the original Platinum, but generally people who go with the "Arceus is God" thing will also go with "Giratina is the Devil")

Professor Oak (some admittedly poor handling of Pokemon in those research videos, that time in the Manga he intentionally triggered Yellow for some reason I think, I dunno I never read the Yellow Chapters I have no idea what happened)

Geeta (Larry complains about her a lot (which is just because he's a generic "overworked office worker" stereotype), "makes" (the actual wording is asks) Katy go easy on trainers since her gym is common as a starting one, the Paldea League just kinda sucked and fans needed someone to pile the blame on)

Nemona (Her showing up at whatever gym you happen to be at and obssession with battles has been seen as "yandere" behavior by people who have no idea what a yandere actually is)

[azurdlywisterious]

OC Pride Parade (12/12)

Condor Lovelace, Esq.

For brevity, I will not be typing out her full title.

Some fun facts about her:

Has some. Very mixed feelings about her new life. Mainly guilt because she loves it (and also joy because she loves it).

Cares enough to find Shaun to find him better parents (she did not want to have him at all). Once she finds out that he's a whole adult she stops caring altogether.

Nick Valentine is her bestest friend (and potentially lover? maybe?) (look todd and emil are cowards and i dont trust anyone but myself with their very specific dynamic)

On a surprisingly related note, how she got that scar! So one night after winning a big case, she ends up tripping on the courthouse steps and busting her lip open. Standard bad luck. She lives close enough to the courthouse that she walks to and from work, but not nearly close enough to the hospital to walk there, and she figures, based on how much blood there is, that she'll need stitches. Also ambulances are expensive so that's out. Thankfully, there's an off duty detective with a heart of gold that happens to be driving by just as she falls. Serendipitous to say the least. She asks if he can drive her to the hospital, he says yes, they exchange names but it's September 2077 so neither of them will end up remembering. Before they party ways she invites him and his fiancée to her Halloween party that will totally happen and not get cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

Became a public defense lawyer (the most overworked and underpaid lawyers) because she genuine believes in helping the less fortunate in anyway she can, even though being a corpo lawyer would net her so much money. Fights for equal rights at every chance she gets and brings this energy to the Commonwealth Wasteland post war.

Is the fiercest defender of marriage equality and the necessary rights relating to it because she believes it's the right thing to do (she also understands the pain of being married to someone you don't actually love).

Speaking of her husband, she only married him in order to not drown in debt while attending law school (he wanted the extra military benefits and also the status symbol of having a wife). They do not get divorced because Societal Convention. This is why she practices law with her maiden name. (Call her Connie Smith and she might actually kill you.)

Loves building robots. Its her favorite pastime honestly. Given that, it's funny that she hates power armor as much as she does (and yet she has a collection)

her other besties are Preston and Ada and she doesn't like Piper. Everyone else she vaguely knows but not nearly as well as Nick. Oh! She thinks Ellie is really nice.

And some fun facts about her creation:

She's named after Conner from DBH. I couldn't think of the name "Connie" fast enough, so Condor (like the bird) stuck.

Her middle name is Maya because every time I lose track of Nick in game, I will run around the map and yell, "Nick? Nick? Nick, it's Larry. I- I think I killed him" until I find him again. For those who are uncultured unaware, that is a line from the opening scene of the Random Encounters Phoenix Wright Musical (and also Maya Fey's first line).

Originally Condor was going to get her scar from a knife attack, but then I thought about how that would come off in the context of a knight in shining armor swooping in to save her and decided that it would probably best to go in a different direction.

Please i dont know why she looks like Heather from Total Drama but im tired so im just going to live with it.

[wildflowercryptid]

SOME MJVERSE FAMILY HEADCANONS!

kris and lyra are sisters, kris being the older of the two. she went on her journey two years before lyra and ethan go on their's, but now she's working as elm's field assistant and researches the myths and mysteries of johto whenever she can find time. ethan and lyra run into her a few times throughout their own journeys, almost always accompanied by leaf ( who was traveling through johto and insisted on joining her the moment she mentioned legendary pokémon. ) lyra also makes a habit of teasing her big sister for the obvious crush she's developing on her companion.

agatha and bertha are relatives, bertha being a direct descendant of charm while agatha is descended from one of charm's siblings back in kanto. they used to spend time with each other at family reunions as kids and still keep in touch through letters.

pheobe is half-alolan and related to acerola. staying connected to her alolan heritage is very important to pheobe and talking to acerola about the culture helps her feel more in touch with it. in turn, she helps acerola strengthen her spiritual abilities and teaches her how to better communicate with ghost-types.

hilda and hilbert are siblings, with hilbert being older by one year. they're very close and are always looking out for each other, no matter how much they bicker and rib each other. hilbert sits out on picking starters at the beginning of the game, as he received a scraggy for his birthday the year prior.

rosa and nate are twins, rosa being older by a minute. the two seem to have pretty similar personalities at first glance, ( both being high-spirited, big-hearted, and ready to take on whatever life throws at them, ) but the small differences become more obvious the more you get to know them. rosa has a tendency to run headfirst into any and all situations, which often gets her into trouble, while nate is a lot more pragmatic and tries to assess things before tackling problems. they often seem to balance each other because of this, but have to learn how to not rely on each other as much when their journeys put them on different paths.

serena is a descendant of az through her mother, grace. no one is aware of this expect az himself.

mizuki and elio are cousins, mizuki being half-alolan and staying with elio's family at the start of the game. elio is a lot more laid-back than the high-energy mizuki and often looks out for her like a big brother during her island challenge ( even though he's only a few months older than her. )

nia and penny are sisters. their parents separated when penny was pretty young, ( all the stuff going on peony and the league and rose put a major strain on their marriage, ) with their mother moving back home to paldea with her. they keep in touch through text / video chat and nia is very protective of her little sister, especially after finding out what happened at the academy.

larry is giacomo and poppy's father. he separated from their mother after coming to terms with his sexuality, but the two are still on good terms. he overworks himself to help provide for his kids, not realizing how his lack of presence could end up straining his relationship with them. giacomo is especially distant from his dad, going as far to not mention who he's related to unless asked, but that has more to do with him feeling like a failure when being compared to him than anything else. he does love hanging out with his little sister, though. ( he likes teaching her songs... and bad words, but don't tell his dad he does that. )

👀👀👀 a Geeta fan? Hell ya. I can't think of a specific ask, but I do wanna say that despite it being an "easy fight" I looove how much of her character is in her team like genuinely it's so damn interesting. I'd kill for a fic of her meeting and raising this team of hot headed leader pokemon.

(also, I don't think I've struggled with a champion fight since like...Cynthia. which is fine! But omg lay off Geeta like damn)

Ok I'm currently working on a Geeta Centric comic, purely about Glimmora tho, and it'll be a while till I finish it buuuuut. Here is a snippet :D

Spoiling things a bit, the comic is about Geeta losing her glimmer as Top Champion. I was thinking the grand reveal of the Profs' endangerment of Paldea didn't affect Geeta too much, mostly just the 4 kids + some hints of Clavell.

The rough premise of the comic will be exploring Geeta's initial meeting with the professors upon her new appointment as chairwoman, just 10 years ago and right around Tera orb discoveries. Despite not being able to approve funding and manpower to the profs further Area Zero research, she approves their proposal to continue researching the area, likely being duped about what the research is about. The professors gift her a Glimmora from Area Zero to celebrate her appointment, and Geeta uses it on her team as a Paldean symbol of the region's researcher's achievements. Hence why it's such a distinctly different pokemon from the rest of her team. She even plans out her fashion around it! PR people!!

Fast forward to present day, I plan to have Clavell and her actually discuss the fallout together, + the emotions swirling about over both of their oversight on the professors. Geeta asks after the kids wellbeing, and has to make tricky decisions to cover up the circumstances surrounding the professor's death (Eg. maybe Paldea discovering their most beloved profs were going to sacrifice them all would be terrible for moral in addition to ramifications as to new students not wanting to attend the Academy out of safety concerns etc. I've not thought too far just yet XD)

Anyway, Geeta regrets deeply about all of this. Being the detail oriented/ potentially over controlling leader she is, oversight on the Area Zero research weighs heavily on her conscience. TLDR I just like the thought of her being very stressed/stretched thin, flawed in her leadership despite good/kind intentions. Maybe the E4 will step in and support her, I like to think she's quite self-sacrificial, lonely etc. in her work as a leader. Giving Larry a run for his money in burnout, overworking + keeping up appearances haha.

Maybe that's just me, wanting to see Geeta's potential complexity as a flawed leader (but human, very much human).

(Also oops, rambled on and on XD)

Cynari HC:

———

(Trans Tighnari)

———

- Whenever Cyno has to leave on a mission, Tighnari worries and overworks himself so much that he forgets to do basic human tasks. Which means Collei has to remind him to sleep, eat, etc

- They definitely adopted Collei. She is their daughter and you can’t tell me otherwise

- Whenever Cyno is home with Tighnari, Tighnari refuses to leave him alone and is so clingy. Cyno finds it cute

- Tighnari secretly likes Cyno’s ‘horrible jokes’

- Tighnari love to be held ‘bridal style’ but hates to admit it

- Whenever Cyno returns from his missions and opens the door, Tighnari drops everything and goes to hug him

- Tighnari loves to spook Cyno but it never works

- Cyno has freckles all over his body and Tighnari finds them adorable

- If he could, Tighnari would sit on Cyno’s lap for everything he does. Cyno doesn’t mind when he does because that means he can play with Tighnari’s tail without being yelled at

- When Cyno comes home from his mission, he always surprises Tighnari with new desert flowers/plants to look at, new sweets, etc. (Collei always ends up eating the sweets because Tighnari is so distracted by the plant Cyno brought)

- They started dating when they were students in the Akademia and always hid to cuddle in empty classrooms during breaks cuz they had no classes together

- Tighnari confessed first, you can’t tell me otherwise

- Whenever Collei is in Mondstadt visiting Amber, which is often after she was cured, and Cyno is back from his missions, they would have little date nights. Tighnari made these cookies for them https://msshiandmrhe.com/cranberry-matcha-cookies/

- Cyno commissioned someone to make a stuffed animal(?) of himself to give to Tighnari for Christmas once so whenever Cyno’s gone he could still cuddle with ‘Cyno’

- On Valentine’s Day every year, Cyno still asks Tighnari to be his Valentines with flowers and chocolates. Tighnari calls him a dork for it and that he’s Cyno’s Valentines every year

- They have tickle fights

- The first time they went to Mondstadt with Collei for a week, Cyno got into a fight with Kaeya. Amber had to break it up

- Once when Tighnari was sick and Cyno was out on a mission, he dropped everything and went to go be with Tighnari

- Tighnari gets dysphoria whenever he sees his top surgery scars and so Cyno always makes sure to pepper Tighnari in kisses during said dysphoria

- Whenever they first made their relationship public, they kept getting rude stares and Tighnari would get self conscious, and so Cyno would stare at the people then make sure Tighnari is ok

- They were good friends with Lisa in the Akademia and so she was one of the first to know of their relationship

- After the scene where Tighnari gets hurt in the Sumeru archon quest, Cyno refused to leave his side until he healed

- They have a cat together named Larry. I don’t know where I came up with that name but the cat’s name will be Larry

- The first few nights Cyno was gone, Tighnari could not and would not sleep

- Oh, and the cat from earlier hates Amber whenever she visits for some reason

- They will stargaze at night

Final day, let's GOOOOOO

Sicktember 2023 Day 30

Prompt: Patient Zero

Fandom: Pok.émon

Characters: L.arry, H.assel, R.ika, G eeta

Notes: P.oppy is mentioned a few times as the aforementioned "patient zero" but does not feature in the story

A plague had come to the Paldea League.

Poppy had been the unwitting carrier, drawing them all in with her big, wet eyes and adorable little sniffles. And they were all a bunch of suckers: picking her up, fussing over her, making sure she was as comfortable as possible before her parents arrived to pick her up.

The drama had put them behind schedule on all the work they'd been procrastinating and dammit, it really had been the perfect storm. Overwork, deadlines, and poor time management combining to leave them all helpless targets.

Larry closed his eyes against the glare of his computer screen and coughed into the tissue he'd been holding against his nose.

The coughing had been nonstop, if not from him then from one of his compatriots packed in their sorry excuse for an office. The thin cubicle walls separating them were a joke, offering only the barest suggestion of privacy.

An ear-splitting alarm joined the symphony of coughs, rattling Larry's brain.

"Hey," Rika said hoarsely, "who has the meds?"

Larry sniffled and considered his desk, where a half-empty bag of cough drops gaped at him. "What meds?"

"Uhhh..." A long pause, filled by Hassel's booming dad sneeze. "Fever reducers."

"I have them," Hassel said, and sniffed. His head popped up over the cubicle walls followed shortly by Rika's.

Larry stood as well and regretted it when the room rocked. "Can I grab a couple?" he asked, steadying himself on his desk. Damn. This sucked.

Rika, who had already taken the bottle from Hassel, nodded and shook two pills out into Larry’s hand.

Larry, seeing that he was out of tea, dry swallowed them. “How’s Patient Zero?” he asked, clearing his throat.

“Don’t call her that,” Rika said weakly from behind a tissue. “She’s doing better.”

“Kids bounce back fast,” Hassel said, and ducked his head to sneeze behind his cubicle wall.

“Unlike us,” Larry rasped. He swallowed thickly around the sensation of knives in his throat, then glanced down at his monitor. Even after reducing the brightness and maximizing the font size, looking at it still made his head throb like a Machamp was squeezing it. “I need more coffee.”

“You don’t need coffee,” Hassel said. “You need water or a nice herbal tea.”

“I’m sick of herbal tea,” Larry said. He’d never been much of a tea drinker and he must have had at least two gallons of Hassel’s chamomile blend today. Every time he blinked, there was more in his cup, syrupy with the amount of honey added.

“You’re definitely sick,” Rika said, and gave a laugh that was as weak as the joke.

“You guys want anything?” Larry asked. The break room had never been well-stocked, but there was still plenty of tea and honey.

“I’m good,” Rika said, sinking into her rolling chair. She leaned her head against the cubicle wall, looking extra pale and sickly in the cool fluorescent light.

“You look good,” Larry muttered. “Hassel, anything?”

“Please.” Hassel passed over an empty mug. “Could you get me some water?”

Larry would have nodded if he hadn’t been so lighthead. “Got it.”

He picked up his own mug and took a few cautious steps away from his desk. His aching body protested even that slight movement, but he pressed on. Slow, slow, slow. That was the key. Otherwise, he’d surely topple over.

Despite his precarious balance, he took the long way around the mass of desks and cubicle walls in the center of the room, picking up his feet so he didn’t trip over any of Poppy’s toys. She hadn’t had the energy to pick them up yesterday and damned if any of them were going to nag her.

She’d worsened so fast it had been kind of scary to watch-- one second she’d been a ball of energy like usual, the next and she’d been crying, red in the face.

Actually, yeah, it made sense they’d all caught it. There’d been a lot of snot and coughing.

When he finally reached the door to Geeta’s office, he paused to catch his breath. Geeta had made herself scarce after entering late in a storm of breathy, half-muffled coughs. How she was getting through this misery without anyone to complain to, Larry had no idea. She'd barely emerged from her office all day.

Tucking an empty mug under his arm to free up a hand, Larry knocked on the door. Geeta usually kept an open-door policy, but she’d sequestered herself away today.

“Come in,” she said, sounding just as raspy and stuffed-up as the rest of them.

Opening the door revealed more or less exactly what Larry had been expecting: Geeta, her skin a waxy olive color, sat upright at her computer as though nothing was wrong. She wore this shared affliction like an extra bit of clothing, like it was an aesthetic alone.

“Hey, boss,” Larry said, leaning on the doorway.

Geeta continued typing, her screen flashing in the reflection of her glasses. “Hello, Larry,” she said coolly, though her voice was shredded. Pausing, she looked up at him. “How is everyone doing?”

Larry had to double over and cough before he could answer and behind him, Hassel and Rika echoed the sentiment. “Peachy,” Larry choked, wiping his streaming eyes on the back of his tie.

“And Poppy?”

“Rika said she’s doing better already.” Unlike us, he added silently. It really wasn’t fair that the one who’d infected them all was already doing better, but it was Poppy. It wasn’t like Larry could really begrudge her a quick recovery. It had been so heartbreaking seeing her come down sick.

“Good.” Geeta smiled briefly before schooling her expression. “Is there something you needed?”

“M’making a run to the break room,” Larry said, gesturing with the mug in his hand. “Want anything?”

Maybe it was that Geeta’s mask had slipped a little or maybe the fever had sharpened up Larry’s perceptions, but he saw the conflict on her face, the split second of consideration that gave way to her usual stoic smile. “No, but thank you, Larry.”

He surveyed her desk. Cough drops, a half-empty water bottle, some sort of poisonous-looking all natural energy booster drink. “When was the last time you ate?”

“Earlier,” Geeta said vaguely, and resumed typing.

That was as clear a dismissal as any.

Larry turned and resumed his slow walk to the break room.

pokemon for the fandom ask game? :]

WOOOOO YEA pokemon time let's go

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most):

hmmmmm…….. emmet i think. my wife never should've introduced me 2 him i think about him far too often. also larry now unfortunately (please get him out of my head)

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped):

LAVENTON…….. i fucking love that guy he is delightful. i would not consider him to be my 'baby' as he is in fact. a grown man. but he is very shaped and i like him a whole lot so i'm puttin him here. i miss him every day of my life. i want to squeeze him like a stress ball

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave):

ALSO laventon. everyone ignores him in favor of the other characters in legends arceus and that's FAIR but. c'mon where's all the love for my man laventon……. i also really like ryme i wish people payed more attention to her

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week):

hayley from hit 2008 video game My Pokemon Ranch for the nintendo wii,

i also think this dude from montenevera who looks like charlie cr1t1kal is pretty cool. he will never appear in anything ever again but he should

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave):

EVERYONE SEEMS TO HATE GEETA but i like her a lot. yes she is an objectively shitty boss who hired a 4 year old to work for her and YES she is majorly overworking larry and also she sucks so bad however. she's really cool AND hot and that makes up for it i think. have you considered that

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason):

volo. i love him dearly but he's fun to torment. you're going in the plinko for your crimes against god sorry buddy

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell):

I'M SENDING THESE TWO TO SUPERHELL FOR FOREVER

[seahdalune]

that ask meme for. Uh. Quinn?

Quinny-Quinn-Quinn....

How I feel about this character: she's THE woman of these games. there is no mama of Papa Louie (?) but Quinn comes close enough. the aunt that comes every [insert closing day here] maybe? she's also the one that gets the most hits from players of the game, due to being a closer... and (to put it crudely) because she's a woman. in my head she's like this:

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Timm? i suppose? i'm a little confused with what i think of the pairing... i defos do like them together but every situation i think for the duo is usually comedic over romantic, aheh...

My non-romantic OTP for this character: i've seen so many posts talking about a Jojo and Quinn friendship and i've accepted that headcanon. it just makes sense. this one's gonna sound silly but i think Yippy and her are friendly. i saw the two sitting together in a Mocharia intro once and the idea that Quinn, being the responsible adult she is, would teach Yippy stuff that she happened to be curious about. how did Yippy get a hold of such a busy lawyer? it says in her scout's guidebook that people will do anything to get a hold of delicious cookie scout cookies, so... ;)

My unpopular opinion about this character: people should draw her more square. i see skinny hourglass shape Quinn a lot but i think fat Quinn would be cute.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: she takes a little break from being a lawyer/closer and her niece comes to replace her for a single game, both as a closer and a lawyer. i say this more because that trope is funny to me but i do hope she can get a break.

my OTP: i don't actively do it, but it feels wrong to not put Quinn and Timm together.

my cross over ship: i don't fuckin know. put her together with Larry from pokemon, overworked characters unite.

a headcanon fact: she's taller than Timm. though i do headcanon Timm to be short too so it isn't a very impressive feat.

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Mirrored Dimensions

This is a concept I had sometime in 2014 after the life altering mental break. My strange mental state attributed to coming up with a mirror AU for Ace Attorney in which everything was swapped.

In this AU Phoenix Wright has been plunged into a world where all his friends have become different people almost like his worst enemies. And his enemies have become more sympathetic where it serves the story. Not only are characters different but his life events are somewhat changed as well.

Characters: Phoenix Wright and the Judge are the only characters whose personality remains unchanged. Mia Fey is a corrupt defense attorney. She ran away from her duties within the Fey clan because she despised her family especially her sister, the golden child of her mother within the Fey Branch family. Not afraid to give horrible advice to achieve a not guilty verdict. Larry Butz, is Phoenix's tag along best friend. Larry harbors a great resentment for Phoenix over something that happened in school and uses Phoenix's guilt over it to gain things he wants from him. He has a long time high school girlfriend Cindy Stone they are in an abusive relationship and something happens between them. ( very suspicious that gets away with almost everything but has his moments ) Winston Payne is a prodigy prosecutor. He is a gentlemen who has earned his honor and respect through years of learning and growing. Frank Sahwit is a down on his luck neighbor, has a crush on Cindy Stone. After the Last Turnabout, Frank becomes friends with Phoenix due to losing badge. Internet blogger. Kristoph Gavin is a defense attorney privately investigating Grossberg and Fey Law practices for corruption (AA4 is otherwise irrelevant to Phoenix's journey) Kristoph has been given a tip from Maya Fey about Mia's underhanded tactics as her act of revenge on her sister pointing Kristoph to the right direction of Drew Misham's commission forgery work. Trucy gives Phoenix evidence of a forged diary page commissioned by Mia Fey herself from beyond the grave before the murder had even taken place in order to "help" Phoenix but this triggers the event Kristoph did but this time forward to point the finger at Phoenix Wright. Maya Fey is an ego maniac. She despises her family especially Mia. She is in the branch family and has sworn to her supposedly dead mother that she will become master of Kurain no matter the cost Dick Gumshoe is a no nonsense detective. He is intelligent and has a bitter hatred for his superior Miles. Marvin Grossberg is Mia's mentor, he has taught her many loopholes and tricks in being a defense attorney The Bell Boy hates his job and may or may not be a hired assassin April May is a very sad woman, she hates being taken advantage of. Isn't asking for it. Redd White A down on his luck business man. A man of very little words. Miles Edgeworth. A rookie prosecuting attorney. Phoenix, Miles and Larry were all friends but their friendships are very strained for various reasons. His father killed Manfred Von karma after tarnishing his legacy. He is a bit more out going but is more out for himself than pure justice. Will Powers is a hollywoood bigshot. Will do anything for money and more fame. Obsessed with himself. Oldbag is a kindly old lady working her job and speaks very slowly Cody Hackins is a pissed off super fan who wants to defame Will Powers for ignoring him at a con in the past. Penny Nichols is a overworked intern hates her job and wants you to go away. Jack Hammer is a struggling actor trying but a very kind optimisstic person. Sal Manella is a professional director Dee Vasquez is a caring and kind film producer Lotta Hart is very uncaring and quiet individual who only believes things if she sees them first hand/ Yanni Yogi was a court bailiff during the fateful DL6. Accused of killing Manfred Vonkarma in the court house. He has let by gones be by gones and would really rather not speak about it as his life has turned around for the better after playing the system. Manfred Von Karma was a hard working but not terribly experienced prosecuting attorney. He was killed by either Fransiska Von karma or Gregory Edgeworth. He was known to be kind and gentle. Fransiska Von Karma was in the elevator during DL6 instead of Edgeworth.

Misty Fey was the bargin bin channeling medium who used DL6 with the intention of gaining fame and recognition within Kurain. When the channeling back fired Mia ran away from home, Misty Fey ran with intentions in finding Mia. Maya is incredibly bitter over this. Misty Fey went on to realize she enjoyed life outside Kurain and became an adult romance novel writer. And the fact she was actually banished from ever returning after DL6.

DL-6 Incident On December 28th, 2001, Fransiska Vonkarma went to a trial with her father Manfred going up against Gregory Edgeworth. Manfred was able to prove that Gregory had tampered with evidence. At which point in time Gregory was be highly considered to be disbarred which inevitably of course he did. But not before a tragedy….An earthquake occurs after the trial. Inside an elevator Manfred, Fransiska and Yanni Yogi were stuck for a few hours. During a scuffle between Yanni and Manfred, Fransiska noticed Yanni's gun had fallen Yanni's belt. Fransiska in a desperate attempt to protect her father shot the gun at Yanni. The three lost consciousness soon afterwards. The bullet missed Yanni The bullet however ricocheted back into the door outside to Gregory's left shoulder. Gregory enraged picked the gun up and shot Manfred in the heart killing him. He fled the scene, and ran off from home after the horrible disgrace and he knew he was going to be disbarred. police investigated the murder, stumped went to a spirit medium. Misty Fey pretended to be a so called master of the channeling technique. Through the channeling Manfred Von Karma through channeling accused Yanni of the murder. The following trial Robert Hammond had Yanni Yogi plead insanity which got him off the hook. Fransiska testifies against Yanni as well. Fransiska was put in foster care. She never exactly understood what happened and lives in guilt and sadness. Eventually she does follow in her father's foot steps as a prosecutor hoping to discover the truth of DL6 eventually. She aligns with Kristoph Gavin hoping to bring down the corruption of the legal system in particular the criminal activities within the Grossberg and Fey law firms connected to DL-6.

˗ˏˋㅤʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒚; taking note of everything the man had said. Judging from his words, it seemed like the rest of the league was FRIENDLY. That was great ! Especially when she had the social skills of a brick ! At least she thought so at least.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤThat's GREAT ! They all sound like a really nice bunch of people ! And I think YOU'RE nice too; especially since you took the time to talk about all this !ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤNow what should SHE say about Paldea ? The region was a big place with a rich historyㅤ—ㅤand that wasn't even taking the GAPING HOLE right in the center of it into account. Well, maybe she should talk about the GYM CHALLENGE as the other was part of a region's ' gym challenge ' .

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤWellㅤ—ㅤevery year, the students of Uva Academy are sent on an independent study called a TREASURE HUNT ! We're all encouraged to explore Paldea and it's rich culture but a lot of the students run off to do the GYM CHALLENGE. Whichㅤ—ㅤI did too. There's eight gym leaders, an elite four, and of course, the ACTUAL CHAMPION which is different from the champion - ranked students.ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤThere's Miss Katy who's super sweet ! She runs a little patisserie and her baking is the best ! Then there's Mister Brassius who's JUST a little eccentric. The man jumped off a windmill just to challenge me but he's a really talented artist and helped with the design of his city ! Iono is REALLY high energy and can be overwhelming but streaming with her was fun ! Mister Kofu is this big teddy bear who owns a seafood restaurant and I had to help him go shopping once or twice. Mister Larry is SERIOUSLY overworked and he's working a double job as a gym leader AND an Elite Four member but he does a good job at it ! He treated me to LUNCH after the battle too ! Miss Ryme apparently used to be a teacher at Uva academy but she decided to become a rapper and a gym leader. She does double battles and she has a super cute dancing ghost dog ! Miss Tulip is this elegant model who I REALLY need to ask to teach me about makeup sometime because my Mom always nags me about it. Mister Grusha is a little bit cold but he seemed to be warming up after a rematch we had recently !ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤOogh, she'd never talked so much in her LIFE.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤI've already mentioned Poppy; she's the NINE YEAR OLD that's super strong and poor Mister Larry with his double job. Miss Rika is this super cool big sister kind of ladyㅤ—ㅤbut she can make a WOOPER be terrifying ! And Mister Hassel is actually my art teacherㅤ—ㅤbut I was really surprised when he had some really strong Pokémon too ! That's about all of them except for the CHAMPION - RANKED STUDENT I had to face and the ACTUAL CHAMPION. And then the Blueberry League too. I hope that wasn't TOO confusing !ㅤ❜

"To her, yes." However, Lance had his fair share of losses, namely from the trainers originating from Pallet Town and New Bark Town. Then again, those trainers were exceptionally strong and provided quite the battle that kept their spirits burning. Will's own loss at the hands of a trainer from New Bark only fuelled his desire to grow stronger, along with the hope of a rematch.

At her question, Will let out a chuckle. "Absolutely; Falkner can be a bit passionate about bird pokemon, but he is easy enough to get along with. Bugsy, Whitney and Jasmine are some of the nicest gym leaders you'll come across, though beware the Miltank.

Morty is a bit of an odd one, but he is of the calm sort; Chuck is close with Bruno, one of my fellow elites, and both are obsessed with their martial arts training. However, both are equally nice and welcoming. Pryce may come across as stern, but he has much wisdom to share and will teach you a lot. Do dress warmly before going to Mahogany Town, though.

As for the elites, I did mention Bruno already so I will focus on Karen and Koga. Koga used to be the gym leader in Fuchsia City in the Kanto region before joining our ranks, and he is a ninja master. While he is kind, you will want to be on alert.

Karen is a dear friend of mine, and while she has a strong personality, she is nowhere near the same as Clair. However, she is the second strongest before Lance, so it would be wise not to get too comfortable around her.

As for myself? I'll let you be the judge of that~" He felt he already gave enough of an overview, and while he didn't divulge each gym leader specialty, Will did drop some hints as to what she could expect going forward. The rest would be a surprise.

"I don't believe I have, but I do wish to visit at some point. I have heard many interesting things about the region and I would like to know more."

Breathe in so deep

Request: Lana sickfic @lanawinters-ily

WARNING: none

Word count: 800+

A/N: Sorry for any mistakes. I hope you like it Mollie!

Today was supposed to be a special day. Lana had just called you because she had gotten a big promotion at work which meant a romantic date night for your gorgeous lady. So, the headache radiating deep within your scalp and the pain pulsating in your stomach was just going to have to be ignored. It was Lana’s day to be celebrating and you weren’t going to let anything get in the way of that.

“Hey, Y/n! I just got these memos from Larry, about the due date for your next pitch. I’m going to leave these on your desk and head out to lunch. Is that okay?” your assistant Stacy asked. You nod as you wrap your arms around your body as a chill passes through.

“Y/n? I swear if you’re getting sick this whole building will shut down! No one here can make it without you, not even for a second,” Stacy giggled jokingly. You laughed, which sputtered into a cough. Once you cleared your throat, “I’m fine. It’s probably just allergies or something.”

The day seemed to drag while the pain and chills only worsened with each passing hour. It was finally time to clock out and head home but as you got up from your desk a spell of dizziness took over. You couldn’t quite get a handle on it, but proceeded to make your way through the building anyway. Which each step you took as you got closer to the exit, felt heavier as if gravity was pushing against you trying to drag you down to another dimension. You fought against the weight you felt as you tried to make that final steps to the door.

“Y/n, is everything okay? You don’t look so good,” Stacy asked as she watched you sway back and forth trying to get a grip of yourself. Your mind races as you think about Lana and how excited she is to celebrate her new promotion. The stubbornness in you is unwilling to let her down and submit to being sick.

“I’m fin-,” you try to get out before your vision blurs and darkness feels the void. The last words you hear before your body hits the ground are, “Oh my god! Y/n!” And everything goes blank.

The next thing you remember is hearing Lana’s voice beside you as you take in a deep breath while your vision slowly comes back with each blink, “That’s it Y/n! Come back to me, sweetheart.” The more Lana coached you, the more conscious you became.

When the room around you became less blurry, you took note that you were in the hospital. How you got here? You had no idea. Moving your head to your right, you noticed Lana standing by your bedside with one hand wrapped around yours while the other rested on your head. Groaning, you stretch out but you instantly feel a soreness pulse through your body and you scrunch up your face in pain.

“Be careful, sweetheart. You took a pretty nasty fall at work when you passed out. The doctor said you may be sore for a couple of days. I’m going to go get the nurse and let her know you’re awake so they can check on you, and after that, we are going to have a little talk, sweetheart.” You knew that talk could not be good.

After your nurse came in and explained what happened, and how overworking your sick body caused you to pass out from exhaustion, you weren’t left alone in the room with Lana. You still had a pretty high fever of 103.2 and they weren’t going to discharge you until they got it down.

“Lana, I’m so sorry for ruining your special day. I know you’re probably pissed at me. I really tried to push through so I could be there for you today. I didn’t even realize I was sick, I was so focused on making sure we could celebrate you I didn’t even take a second to think about myself. I understand if you want to go, and celebrate with your friends. I completely messed up your nigh-,” Lana cuts you off, “What in the hell are you talking about, sweetheart? You didn’t ruin my night and I’m not mad at you cause you’re sick! I don’t care about going out and celebrating, because you are the most important part of my entire life. I’m a little upset you weren’t taking care of yourself, but I’m not mad at you. It’s actually a little sweet you wanted to make sure we could celebrate my promotion, but when I say ‘little’ I mean it because of how far you pushed your body today. I love you and I want to make sure you are okay, always.”

A tear managed to sneak past your lid, as you tried to hold them back at Lana’s kind words. She always knew how to make you feel better in the worst of situations. The right words flowed from her mouth and she never ceased to amaze you, “I love you, baby.”

She smiled her megawatt smile at you, “Now! Let’s get you better so I can get my real celebration soon,” she wiggled her eyebrows. You burst out laughing, “I swear you’ll be the death of me, Lana Winters… but in the best way possible.”
