[this post will be deleted and moved to a new post on the pmdn blog eventually. keeping it so I don’t break the read more on the reblog atm though.]

continent for pmd au. rough outline for it was generated from this.

ANYWAY

There’s 4 regions. And a large mountain in the center, cutting one off from the others.

general explanations for region lore under the cut

Miseer (name derived from Misery)

- Where the Danganronpa characters come from

- It used to be a highly respected region, with an incredibly respected school… until the Great Tragedy (it probably also used to have a different name lol)

- The place is now a complete wasteland, destroyed and ravaged by corrupted Pokemon and non-pokemon monsters alike

- During the apocalyptic tragedy, a legendary/heroes/unsure cut it off from the rest of the continent with large mountain ranges, to keep the chaos contained

- The survivors from the region are currently working on restoration -

- There’s political strain between Miseer’s Restoration Group and the other regions. Many other regions see the place as a lost cause, and the Restoration Group is frustrated by the lack of assistance from them

- If I include it, School-Live goes here (School-Live isn’t a hyperfixation of mine but I found it interesting enough that I might include it anyway - be a nice way to flesh out this region outside of the Danganronpa cast)

- Any other series that take place in a post-apocalyptic or similar setting that get added will also take place here lol

Valior (name derived from Valor)

- Valior is a thriving region, but the barrier between them and Miseer is weak, with the mountain range being short and some caves that act as passage ways between them.

- As such, the region is the populated region most plagued by monsters and threats to the publics’ safety

- This area is the place where a majority of previously human Chosen Heroes are from. If a human is sent to this world, they’ll probably be sent here.

- That said, Chosen Heroes can be pokemon born, though it’s uncommon. Chosen Heroes tend to be assumed to be human though, and unless they show their worth, Chosen are generally treated suspiciously.

- The Explorer’s Guild is here, and the main form of “government”. The Explorer’s Guild is technically under Riddlo’s government. Rescue Teams and Exploration Teams pretty much are all within Valior, with only some in Preoma and almost zero in Riddlo.

- Series characters that come from here would be Digimon Adventure, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Kingdom Hearts

- If I include it, Dungeon Meshi also goes here

- If I include Amphibia, Sasha spawns here

Riddlo (name derived from Riddle)

- The farthest removed from Miseer, and hence the most populated, industrial, and technically advanced region. The region is full of large cities, with few smaller towns.

- The horrors that haunt this region are rarely horrific monsters or corrupted pokemon, but rather murder, organized crime, and corrupt police and government

- There is. A LOT of murder that happens here.

- This place is also the most powerful politically, and there is strain between here and

- The characters that come from here are Ace Attorney, AI: The Somnium Files, and Detective Conan

- Ghost Trick would also be here if I include it… Maybe also TWEWY? I also think Death Note would be fun as the case that brings all the above guys together

- If I include Amphibia, Marcy spawns here

Preoma (name derived from Preom)

- Most “normal” place tbh

- Mostly smaller towns, with some larger cities. There are still occasional monster attacks, but they’re relatively uncommon.

- This isn’t to say that there is no strange things going on here - in fact, this seems to be where the more… extraordinary monsters tend to lie

- Government tends to just be pretty small and local - though, they are unfortunately still under Riddlo’s control politically

- Series characters that come from here are Zombieland Saga, Equestria Girls, The Amazing Digital Circus, and Deltarune

- If I include it, Wordgirl is here too

- If Amphibia is included, Anne spawns here

——

GENERAL AU NOTES:

- There are monsters that are corrupted pokemon (called ‘Shades’ and ‘Shines’). They come in a variety of stages of severity, with some pokemon being able to live normally despite being technically “infected”. Others with more severe corruptions, however, can be turned into large undead monstrous creatures.

- There are non-sapient beasts and monsters that weren’t ever pokemon! These would be the monsters the Dungeon Meshi gang would eat lol…

- Torn on whether or not animals exist - leaning towards yes.

- Stories of series are generally similar to their canon, with a PMD spin to it. Some vary more than others, and some are actually based on my non-PMD AUs of their series.

- I’m legitimately invested in this universe now and may even make some OCs that are just original to this universe lol

- I do have a bit of a of something in mind if I do decide to include some of the series that are much more geared towards younger audiences in the way of like… separating them from the more mature stories. Like… please rest assured that if I do include Wordgirl, it would not involve Becky going to Riddlo and getting involved in a murder case lol. It will just be things of the general Wordgirl fare, with at most a bit more of a focus on mental health and the pressure that comes with being a child superhero.

- I can not emphasize enough how much this is all subject to change. Also how aware I am of how cringey this all is orz

the funniest part of any Robin meeting the JL is that every Robin is so distinctly different from the previous one in terms of personality and vibes that the league literally gets backlash. and like, I don't blame them. not to mention that they are non-meta children that dress as a traffic light and fight crime alongside batman in gotham on a nightly basis. i'd also be a bit concerned. Batman, literally The Night of Gotham personified in the League's eyes, coming into a JL meeting: This is Robin, my crime-fighting partner. 11-year-old Dick Grayson, dressed in the brightest primary colours possible, vaguely hidden murder behind those eyes, never stops moving even for a moment: Hi! Superman: That's a child. That's-- Bats that is a child. You let a child--? Batman, deadpan: You try to stop him. Would you rather he try and murder a grown man with a wire?

Batman: This is Robin. 12-year-old Jason Todd, with the biggest grin on his face, about 3 books in his hand, stars in his eyes and a distinct street-kid drawl: Hey!!! Green Lantern: That's ... that's a different child. What?? Jason: I stole his tires :) Batman: Tried to. Jason, stage whispering to the League: basically did. Green Lantern: that is a different kid, right?? I'm not seeing shit??

Batman: This is Robin. 14-year-old Tim Drake, bo staff clutched in his hand, a wary and tired expression on his face, more on the quiet side, the literal walking definition of don't judge a book by it's cover: hello Flash: Where do you even find these-- Tim: I found myself.

Batman: This is Robin. 17-year-old Stephanie Brown, literally blonde, with a shit-eating grin, eyes full of nothing but mischief and the most explosive personality you've ever seen: hiya!! Superman: I give up. Stephanie: I know, I have that amazing effect on people.

Batman: This is Robin. 13-year-old Damian Wayne, a literal wet cat that will hiss at you, has a sword, the most judgemental stare you'll get from a teenager, ready to jump anyone there: Green Lantern: WHY DOES HE HAVE A SWORD?! Batman: ... he came with the sword.

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.

you know what. piss off someone who voted red and have a fantastic day. do the productive thing that you have been putting off. put away that thing in your room you’ve been walking past for the last three weeks. throw out the expired food in your fridge. make yourself a cute little drink. brush your hair. send an email. call that person back. eat a snack. go on a walk. open your mail. fold your laundry. hope is only dead if you let it die.

Honestly, no one is doing it like Vinsmoke Sanji. He's royalty. He's homeless. He's a convicted criminal. He is a damsel in distress. He's a knight in shining armor. He takes down the Government at 10 am then makes a Bouchée à la reine from scratch at 11. He has the empathy of a buddhist monk in the Himalayas. He will beat up a 90 year old. He has never given a fuck, he cant sleep at night cz of how much he cares. He is a ballerina. He sets his legs on fire. He is a slut. He is a virgin. He is a feminist He is a pervert. He's a fashion icon. He wears Alexander McQueen suits to the beach. He has never known happiness. God has personal beef with him.

“Mom, why do you think ghosts are intrinsically evil?”

“It’s what the science says, of course!”

“No, I mean like, what were the studies? What did they actually observe”

“Ohh, I get what you mean, Danny! Well across all reputable reports of encounters with the ghosts strong enough to matter, they’ve always attacked first and never responded to attempts at communication! There’s no reason for them to do that if they’re not evil!”

“Huh…”

…

Danny, learning about Ghost Speak and how humans can’t understand it: hmm.

Danny, learning that ghosts greet each other and bond by fighting: hmmm.

we should talk more about cities that are vampires. cities that are cold and wet and sink into your bones and stay there. cities that are hungry and want to live. dead cities that dont know they're dead and suck the life force of their people to maintain the delusion. cities with harbors that are actually mouths; one-way entries. cities that are devastatingly lonely and see consumption as love
