#so her whole team is just lizard shaped pokemon

[spookberry]

just remembered this idea I had of drawing my oc styled like her pokemon and wanted to do more

[sc3n3kitt3h]

My thoughts on pokemon scarlet and violet so far!!

first off, general thoughts: It looks good!!! the framerate in the new trailer is way better now which is cool, I like the sorta open-world style of newer games so i'm glad thats, like, a more permanent thing now?? i guess?? i dunno how 2 phrase it, but i like the direction the series is going!!

more under the cut (warning, this is gonna get LONG):

I think its really weird that pl:a JUST came out a couple months ago, and now they're releasing another game??? Already??? gamefreak already has such a small amount of time to make pkmn games, and legends: arceus was kind of a big game!!! So are they... ok??? they're probably super overworked already!! The whole situation with gamefreak just sucks in general. They HAVE to release a game every 2 years and games are getting kind of worse over time (I mean the mainline ones, not spinoffs like pl:a or new pokemon snap) and it really shows how overworked the devs are! Merch and anime can't come out until new games come out, and theres always lots of demand for new pokemon games in general!! The entire franchise revolves around new games coming out every 2 years, and its a shitty situation no matter how you look at it.

Speaking of games getting worse over time, the GIMMICK. the gimmick is baaad. Again, I don't think this is really gamefreaks fault!! I'm pretty sure they HAVE to make a new battle gimmick for every game, or else they would have brought mega evolution back a LONG time ago. I like the lighting effects i guess!!! everything else looks kind of ugly. :(

Anyways, with all that negativity mostly out of the way!!! here are some way more lighthearted thoughts about the game so far. (man, talking about all that really screwed up my mood... >:T)

The trainers!!!! oh man oh wow!!!!!!! Theyre so cute!!!!! i looove mela so much shes SO COOL!!!!! (i KNOW people are gonna be really weird about her which sucks though. these are kids!!! in school!!!!!) I love love LOVE her whole style a whole lot. The team star guys are pretty cute, theyre not as cool as team skull or anything though. they're really generic. It's fine with me as long as you get get some star glasses 4 the player, too!! I hate that we're just fighting a bunch of school rebels tho. i wanna BE a rebel, not fight them!!! >:P!!!!!

Other than that i like brassius!! i like how different he is from other grass type trainers. I don't like the professors 4 this region tho, idk why. theyre just boring 2 me :P. Penny looks like she gets into slur discourse in tiktok comment sections. Nemona is fine!! Theres nothing special about her, really. Jacq is pretty neat!!! So is Geeta even though her hair really throws me off 4 whatever reason.

Anyways, now for the pokemon themselves!!! So far this gen is a really mixed bag!!

I LOVE YOU FUECOCO OH MAN OH WOW!!!!!!!! thats totally the starter i'm picking. No complaints, just little lizard dinosaur thing swag!! <3<3<3

Sprigatito is also cute!!! I love the fact that it has a kneading move. Its kinda generic, but i like it a lot anyways. The only thing that i dislike about this little dude is the shape of its head. its face is so flat.... it has NO snout 2 speak of........ but other than that its great!!!

Quaxly is... there!!! i kinda feel like this is gonna be a tepig type of situation where theres nothing WRONG with it necessarily, but it's just kind of boring or not as "cool" or "cute" as the other starters. Its good, but not as interesting as the other starters!!

The legendaries are neat i guess. I dunno why they're motorcycles but whatever! Its cool!!! Like, i get that it fits for violet, since these games r all about past vs. future and all that, but what about scarlet?? I know a lot of people r put off by the necks or whatever (there are a lot of lizards in this gen, huh?) but i have no problem with them! Speaking of which, cyclizar is... kind of ugly!!! whys it barf green!!! i just don't like it im sorry.

cetitan is SCARY. WHY ARE ITS TEETH LIKE THAT???? I hate looking at it actually. People keep talking about how creepy grafaiai is, when THIS THING is right here... o.0"'

I LOVE ceruledge and armarouge!!! i like armarogue slightly more cuz of the fire at the top of its head + the general shape of it. Hard 2 explain... Like, the legs. The armor. its SHAPED!! ceruledge is also really awesome tho!!!! these 2 r single handedly making me STRUGGLE 2 pick which game i'm gonna get cuz I REALLY want armarouge but ceruledge is also really cool and i like miraidon more than koraidon and i have nobody 2 trade with ;-;... sighhhh. I hate choice paralysis. I should probably just spin a wheel or something...

I actually really liked klawf until about 30 minutes ago when i read the website and apparently it can rotate its eyes 360 degrees???? which is CREEPY.

LECHONK. Lechonk is wonderful. So are fidough and smoliv. i would kill and/or die 4 them all. 11/10

Pawmi is this gens pika clone!!! I think its neat :]

Grafaiai is..... scary!! it's not the eyes for me, its the FINGERS. They're long and spindly and thin and it creeps me out. Lemurs r cool and they deserve a pokemon that isnt!!! like that!!!!!

last but not least, paldean wooper!!!!!!!! my boy wooper is getting some love.... itll never live up 2 the original wooper, who is the ultimate + optimal life form, but its a great second best. :0]

I have 2 wishes 4 this game..... those being clothing options other than the uniforms and also cute twintails. Preferably frizzy ones. Gamefreak better deliver on these or else i will be kind of sad and thats about it. OH ALSO i hope boys can wear girl clothes and vice versa, like in animal crossing. That probably wont happen though ¬_¬

Thats about it!!! I'm generally rlly optimistic about this gen!!!! it looks great even when it doesnt (grafaiai, pkmn professors, klawf and cetitan I'M LOOKING AT YOU) lolz!!

[bogleech]

Okay here’s the whole entire text of my original pokemon gen concept under a cut (sorry if that screws you up on mobile)

I’ve only ever sketched a tiny number of these (like my fly ideas here), but I can see most of them in my head pretty clearly and might sketch more of them by request someday. I originally set my fan-region in Florida, a place I hated living but still had a lot of interesting characteristics. This changed over once I moved to Oregon, and the thing about Oregon is that it has desert, forest, swamp, coastline and frozen mountaintops that are all pretty vast, ancient and in places relatively untouched compared to the rest of North America. This is not only a perfect setting for some really wild pokemon, but makes a believable choice because our Pacific Northwest is pretty popular in Japan.

The different biomes of this region have "deep" areas where the pokemon change. Some also have "polluted" areas. The region is environmentally themed and heavily deals with human interference on the natural world.

The villains are Team Bio, genetic engineerers lead by a mysterious old woman who narrowly survived the original Mewtwo experiment. Her underlings all use "mutant" pokemon, and she seeks to create a new species of hyper-intelligent, pure-hearted pokemon that will replace humans entirely. Along the way is a strange increase in reports of interstellar pokemon activity... I actually tried hard to minimize how many pokemon in this are just “my kind” of concept, but I think I failed pretty hard. It probably does feel like it leans a little more towards Mortasheen than something Pokemon would actually make, but for basically every pokemon that’s one of my “dream concepts” or “most wanted” I tried to come up with one that I thought would appeal more to somebody else’s taste than mine.

THE STARTERS

Grass Starter: a grass "lumberjack" pterosaur with an axe for a beak. Second stage has more saw-like beak, final stage is a grass/steel quetzalcoatlus (the pterosaur) with a beak and crest forming a chainsaw, no longer flies

Fire type calf whose black cow marks are actually soot. Evolves into cow with craggy black “helmet” and horns of charcoal. Final stage a charcoal-armored minotaur like fire/ground type.

Water Starter is a beady-eyed water shrew with big webbed flipper feet, known to steal shiny objects. Second stage more humanoid, said to dive for treasure. Final stage is water/dark lanky, stripey shrew with a black mask, said to rob boats like a “highwayman” of the river.

Meadows and forest:

Normal type mammal is a spherical porcupine, like a chestnut. Rubs its spines with noxious fruit juices, giving it a multicolored look. Evolved form is a colorful “punk” porcupine.

Early bug is a sticklike inchworm Evolves to cocoon resembling a wooden log on top. Final form is bipedal stick mimic grasshopper, evocative of a cute wooden puppet with a pointed nose.

Basic bird is a hummingbird Evolves to be four-winged and legless, never lands in its whole life. Final hummingbird is a fierce looking hunter that drains energy from grass types like a predator.

Grass type walking bud creature, looks nervous. Evolves to grass/flying orchid-like angelic flower. Alternate evolution is wilted, grey, grass/ghost goth orchid with tattered petals, cute but sad. (evolves this way if it levels up after a battle in which it sustained super-effective damage)

Ground type earthworm sticking out of dirt, cute flower-shaped head. Evolved worm looks like shark sticking out of the dirt, nose looks like its prevo

Electric/dark pikachu-like packrat holding a large coin. Electrically charges its treasure as a booby trap. Actually said to be employed as underlings by the water-type shrew starter.

MISCELLANY:

Bug/poison type grub with fangs. Only encountered in garbage cans. Evolves into a fly pupa Final stage is a gloomy looking, drooling anthropomorphic fly.

Single stage bug/fairy type: a beautiful Maleficent-looking parasitoid wasp. Evolves from any cocoon/pupa pokemon if they're holding a "suspicious egg" item.

Ocean

Water/grass nudibranch with flower on its back. Evolves to a glaucus, each "arm" a colorful flower that absorbs sunlight as it floats.

Water type fish that "sails" on the sea's surface with its fins. Sleepy looking stingray evolution. Final form is water/dragon deep sea fish, combines some traits of anglerfish and viperfish with eyes on stalks. Only evolves from stingray when you're in the sea trench.

Water/flying marlin with huge, dazzling butterfly like fins.

Water type baby dolphin, fuzzy like a seal pup, only evolves if it has fainted more times than the number of its current level. Evolved form is water/dark, shaggy-furred, fierce looking, battle scarred dolphin with legs instead of flippers, a throwback to the doglike ancestors of delphinidae.

Polluted inlet

Water/poison oil slick with two tentacles and beady white eyes, signature ability changes it to water/fire type if it uses a fire move. Evolved form is an oil slick rising into a cartoon octopus with x's for pupils.

Water/steel fish hook with tiny head and eyes, like a barbed metal worm. Water/steel fishing jig, googly eyes and everything.

Barren Island - just a very big rock in the middle of the inlet

Ghost/poison: a greenish "dodo bird" with a face like a biohazard mask, the ghost of a species that went exinct due to sickness.

Sea Trench

Water/fire bristleworm "snake" Water/fire tube worm "dragon"

Water/ghost wailord skeleton draped in pink fuzz and a garden of one-eyed bone worms.

Swamp

Electric/flying bird resembling a lightbulb kiwi. Evolved form resembling a neon light lawn flamingo.

Grass/fairy giant sloth with sleepy face, completely covered in shaggy moss with various flowers and mushrooms. Protector of the swamp, able to control plant life.

Grass/psychic sundew, just a pair of sundew leaves atop a sleepy looking oddish-esque bulb. Evolved sundew is mostly a big circular sundew rosette, but a humanoid flower rotates in the center like a music box to lure prey.

Water/fighting borzoi pup with long legs, acts like a water strider. Evolved form is an elongated, elegant borzoi "ballerina" that dances atop water

Water/ground red leech slightly evocative of a vacuum cleaner. A healer that sucks poison from the body instead of blood. May mysteriously appear in your team after walking through swamp water.

Deep Forest:

Grass/ground banana slug with colorful mold spots, learns spore. Evolves into mold splotched, brown banana peel creature, more like a big squid.

Grass/dark autumn leaf in the shape of a bat, has levitate. Evolved form redder, bigger "vampire cape" leaf-bat.

Psychic/ghost cheshire cat with Meowth-like proportions, bright crescent smile. Evolved form just huge smile and cat eyes hovering in the air, beastly cat body fading into view only for physical attacks or when struck.

Rock type humanoid made of transparent amber with a strange mayfly-like bug sleeping inside. Outer body can "break" at low HP and release faster, more offensive pure bug form.

Rock: incredibly huge, stony looking moose with long white fur draped over its eyes and back. Comes in size variations like Pumpkaboo line and said to never stop growing. A truly titanic one is used as transportation through the deep forest.

Snowy patches

Bug/ice velvet worm that spews a freezing liquid. Silly looking, almost like wiggler from mario.

Ice/flying fluffy white bird resembling a tiny Japanese style snowman. Evolves to resemble western style snowman with clawed bird feet, pointed beak nose. A flightless pure ice mountain dweller.

Electric/ice with levitate: a crystalline "UFO" sky-jellyfish with many colorful lights, core body looks like a cute pikmin-esque "alien" inside. Catch by fishing off of ledges into the sky. Mistaken by locals for alien activity.

Lava Tube Caves

Psychic type bipedal pink salamander with no eyes. Evolves into beautiful milotic-like psychic/dragon blind olm.

Rock/fighting spearhead with feet, eyes are just round holes through blade. Evolves to gain a stick-figure sort of body.

Abandoned town

Normal/bug filthy dog, a shaggy pile of fur with goofy eyes and pink tongue. Little black specks jump about it. Ability changes normal moves to bug moves. Evolved form more obviously a dog but still very shaggy, surrounded by constant cloud of black specks.

Grass/electric "christmas tree" made of holly and lights. Found in a burned down house, glowing eyes peer out from beneath it.

Ghost: has a colorful quilt for a body and a pincushion for a head. Found inside houses.

Garbage dump - accessible through abandoned town, possibly what drove people away (includes piles of toys you may investigate to encounter a banette, mimikyu or klefki)

Water/poison: cartoony fish with blank eyes and humanoid pair of legs. Fish for in toxic green garbage pools. Evolves into ground/poison skeleton fish with four limbs, walking like a lizard.

Steel/bug rusty orange silverfish. Eats junk metal. Evolved form so big it wears a rusty car for protection with just its legs and feelers sticking out.

MICROPOKEMON - enlarged artificially in a laboratory where you can also take your fossils.

Bug/fighting flea - spiny black flea with big jagged white teeth. Create from the "pest sample" an item carried randomly by the normal/bug dog.

Poison/fairy germ - fuzzy multicolored mold ball with eyes, stalked suckers. Retrieve "germ sample" from the dodo ghost.

Water/fairy tardigrade - transparent, cute bug stylized almost like a "gummy bear."  Retrieve "dew sample" from moss sloth.

Pseudolegendary:

Rock type baby gargoyle creature. Evolves to winged gargoyle with levitate and a few mossy patches. Final form is an elegant griffon-like rock/dragon with an elaborately carved surface

SPACE ARK DRAGON This location is itself a dragon/fairy legendary pokemon so massive you can enter its body. It exists to collect and preserve species from dying worlds. Most common wild pokemon inside is duosion and sometimes Reuniclus. You can also collect "gene samples" from crystalline pods to replicate the ultrabeasts in the same lab you enlarge the microbes and resurrect fossils.

Bug/dark parasitic alien, a little like weird yellow plant suckered to the ground, red flower-like head with an eye on each petal ala the yokai parasite, gyochu.

Bug/dark parasitic alien, a colorful worm with cute eyes and beautiful mothlike wings, a little like the yokai parasite koshi-no-mushi.

Bug/dark parasitic alien, a pale, red and white striped "lizard" with six spindly limbs and a tubular proboscis, inspired by the yokai parasite kagemushi.

Fairy type alien medic, looks like a cute flatwoods monster with heart motif and nurse coat. Flees from all battles unless you have defeated at least one of each of the parasites.

LEGENDARIES:

Dragon/electric: the ark dragon's smaller offspring, looks like an electronic space whale.

Dragon/steel, menacing, sleek black starship creature. Rival to the ark dragon, a "world reaper" that attempts to destroy planets that it thinks are already dying.

Psychic/fairy little white, fluffy mothman-like being, an observer that casts judgment on suffering worlds to call one of the dragons (version based)

Normal type legendary is the most human-like pokemon we've ever seen, a serene floating figure with long hair and black, almond-shaped eyes. A genetic experiment to supplant humans.

Electric/fighting: a hulking humanoid beast, almost frankensteinian with asymmetrical features, a failed early experiment.

A "glitched and scrambled" two dimensional pokemon. The result of the earliest known experiments in digital pokemon transfer. Actually literally typeless.

POISON FUSIONS created in the garbage dump:

Weezodor - poison/flying - Garbodor/weezing hybrid, like a jellyfish bag with smog tentacles.

Mukking - poison/water - Weezing/muk hybrid, like a koffing with slime appendages.

Garmuk - poison/ground - Muk/garbodor hybrid, like a giant slug made of trash.

MUTANT POKEMON: mutations of classic first-stage pokemon into creatures slightly tougher than even their original final stages.

Mutant Caterpie - bug/dragon - huge, dragonlike Caterpie with more menacing eyespots, clawed limbs.

Mutant Paras - pure grass - giant paras with far more mushrooms of different colors, body pure white with no mouth and white sphere eyes, actually made only of fungus.

Mutant Venonat - bug/dark - same old venonat with a big shaggy monster body

Mutant Zubat - Psychic - somewhat larger than crobat, has actual legs and a pair of clawed arms instead of wings. Much bigger ears.

Mutant Voltorb - electric/steel - a Voltorb even bigger than Electrode, otherwise looks normal besides angrier yellow eyes...until it splits open to reveal sharp teeth.

Mutant Tangela - grass/fairy - more like its scrapped Gen II evolution but perhaps a lot taller, with two very very long arms.

Mutant Geodude - rock/fighting - HUGE spiky arms and hands but head/body are the same as always.

Mutant Shellder - water/steel - it's the spiraly slowbro one!

Mutant Exeggcute - psychic/poison - bigger and more plentiful but "rotten" looking eggs with gloomier eyes and dark purple goo.

Mutant Eevee - normal - bigger than any of the eeveelutions, shaggy and beastly with the "camouflage" ability. Learns strong attacks of every eevee evolution type.

Mutant Doduo - fighting type with only one head

Mutant Luvdisc - the only one based on a non-evolving pokemon. Angry "broken heart" Luvdisc with record offensive stats for the series, but even worse defenses than regular luvdisc.

Mutant Trapinch - dragon/bug - giant turtle-like Trapinch, redder, spiny, second mouth inside jaws.

Mutant Dratini - dragon/fairy - huge long dratini with longer feathery wing ears, identical wings down body.

Mutant Larvitar - dragon/dark - big, armored green reptile, still has larvitar type head with craggier, meaner horn.

Mutant Bagon - dragon - huge, more t-rex proportioned bagon, spiked shell on head.

Mutant Deino - bigger and shaggier with a ring of five long-necked deino heads

Mutant Gible - dragon/fighting - only usually seen as a huge sharky fin sticking out of the ground. When it emerges, its body isn't much bigger than regular gible.

Mutant Goomy - psychic/dragon - giant goomy with gaping mouth, antennae are much longer, green and stripey.

Mutant Jangmo-o - dragon/steel - same old head but more ankylosaur-like big body, entirely a dark iron color with more pitted looking scales.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIATIONS no mechanical or typing difference, but new color schemes and decorations on existing pokemon, totally an aesthetic change. Have their own shiny forms.

SEA TRENCH FORMS: Entirely pale pink golisopod line with closed eyes transparent red tentacool line with darker red nodules dark maroon inkay line with blue lights red and purple feebas line

CAVE FORMS: White, eyeless venipede line White, eyeless magikarp line

DEEP SWAMP FORMS: crocodile-green Sandile line with lily pad on head black shelled "freshwater" shellder line with green algae growths pure red and purple colored bellsprout line

DEEP FOREST FORMS: braviary with more hawklike colors foongus line with no pokeball pattern...the original foongus? wolf-spider colored joltik line

POLLUTED INLET FORMS: Dewpider line with all black body and limbs, yellow glowing eyes in dirty green water Grey wailmer line draped in red algae, clumps of barnacles (presumably degenerated binacle) Wingull line with grey and black oil-splotched feathers, tin can on head

GARBAGE DUMP FORMS: Bounsweet line with only grey, brown and black colors, dark spoiled looking splotches Black bag trubbish line with green trash, copper colored pipes Rusted looking klink line, rotates only once every few seconds.

----------GYM LEADERS -------------- In this region the gyms are dual type, and bring back past mechanics and gimmicks as their focus.

flying/normal: a blind, wheelchair-bound old man who specializes in dog and bird pokemon. Uses a baton pass team.

Steel/electric: an astronaut commanding his gym by remote feed from the station. Uses Magnezone, Rotom forms and, surprisingly, a random steel or electric ultrabeast.

Poison/bug: a germophobic lady scientist ironically obsessed with pollution pokemon, always wearing a biohazard suit. Has weezing, garbodor, the fly pokemon and Yanmega. Uses Z-moves, but it's random whether she uses a bug or poison one and on which pokemon.

Dark/fire: an elderly biker lady. Has no gym and in fact roams around the region. Surprisingly challenges you to a third-gen style beauty contest with her frightening selection of pokemon.

Grass/fairy: witchy pharmacist and botanist who lives out in the woods, all of her grass types are mushroom based. Unusually has you team up with her in a double battle against a random pokemon of unusual size and strength, like Alola's totem pokemon.

Ground/fighting: an extremely frail little nerdy guy who likes amazingly fearsome pokemon, hates bullies but kind of is one. Makes you face a horde battle with all of his pokemon vs. only one of yours at a time.

Dragon/rock: a boisterous monster movie director who dresses his pokemon in costumes, gym is a cardboard city. Uses a dynamaxed pokemon.

Ghost/psychic: a horror author, Vincent Price like, lives in a mansion and makes visitors face scenes from his books. Instead of a single battle, he has you face a series of singular mega pokemon behind each "scene." THE LABORATORY This location is of course secretly associated with the villain team, but you can free it up from them in the endgame. Here you can make fossil pokemon, micropokemon, regional forms from past generations, ultrabeasts and even mega stones, but all require you to spend one or more “gene crystals.” You’re handed a number of these through the storyline but it would be very challenging to farm more than that  (think Gen 7 bottlecaps). Spending more crystals at the lab would allow you to finally alter abilities, natures and IV’s at a whim, and for an exceptional cost you could upgrade the BASE stats of any L100 pokemon permanently. This is a percentage increase applied across the board to all of its stats at once, and stops at either 100 total points beyond their normal limits, or a final base stat total of 530 (equivalent to a fully evolved starter) MISC STUFF:

Your mom this gen asks you if you hope to have an easy, challenging, or very challenging adventure. You can return to her at any time to adjust the difficulty again.

When you beat the game, you can make a custom trainer for online battles using the models of other NPC trainer types, i.e. you can finally be a swimmer/scientist/grunt/etc. You can unlock some popular ones from past generations.

You can select one pokemon as your main partner, which not only has it following you, but involves it a little more in the storyline (special events based on its first typing) and gives it some in-game perks.

A special item attached to any one of your pokemon allows your whole team to “share strength,” meaning that their weaknesses are mitigated for each teammate they share a type with. This allows for type-themed teams to be more viable but wouldn’t completely eliminate their weaknesses, and the effect diminishes proportionately for every pokemon that faints.

You can designate a seventh pokemon to be your “team mascot,” a non-combat role with different effects depending on species/type.

A single team can have either the mascot, a z-move, a dynamax/gigantamax form or a mega, cannot mix these.

Legendary pokemon now suffer a stat nerf for every other legendary pokemon on the same team. A team of six legendaries would actually be somewhat below-average in stats.

[crime-bot]

(YES! I really like characters like that!)

ALRIGHT LE’S GOOOOO So first off, there’s AEfrelewk, who’s a basically a giant space dinosaur fashionista. They live in their own little pocket dimension, called the Mesozone, and they, well.... they can’t exactly leave it-- They got no legs; just fins, and now the opening for their pocket dimension is in the middle of a desert, so they’re just waiting for anybody unfortunate enough to wander by and get caught to be turned into a weird-looking aquatic creature.

Uh, let’s see, then you already know Vess, and since Team Maelstrom died for multiple reasons, I’m able to talk about them. Vess is actually a dream, creativity, and idea-consuming being in disguise as the form you know them in. They’ve been around since the Renaissance, too, and have been stealing matters of the mind from countless people for the entirety of their existence. It’s part of why they were so pleased to have so many creative and crackheaded individuals in their team; they could be able to skim some ideas from the members for themself. They never did it, luckily, but Team Maelstrom was sort of like an emergency reserve for them. Eventually, is was established that they were, in a way, of “representative” of creativity, dreams, and the process of forming ideas; not quite a deity of those kinds of things, but certainly not a run-of-the-mill person or animal/pokemon. They could use the ideas and dreams that they’ve stolen to manipulate the world around them, from summoning a tiny sea in order to put out a room on fire, to possibly even stopping time for a short while, depending on if they get a dream where that happens. There’s a whole lot more about them that I know, but I think all of this sums them up quite nicely.

The Forest, also known as Mortrevi, is also pretty abstract. She’s basically just an entire forest, spanning for who-knows-how-long and having lived for eons. Mortrevi’s bent on continuously growing, for as long and as big as she can, and has trapped countless individuals in her to aid with this goal of hers. One way she can do this is to just.. well I’m not sure how to describe it, but she can sort of phase into existence and take the place of a forest that was there before she came. Like, for example, if you have a forest near your house, she could one day phase into existence, and now that’s not your forest. That’s her. And she’s waiting. (For the few of you that may know a version of Sephnit, yes, this is the exact Forest that they’re bound to.)

The Bookworm is sort of surreal, too. She was initially made because I was interested that mnay plpoee are albe to raed sfutf lkie tihs, eevn tguhoh it is smraelcbd (many people are able to read stuff like this, even though it is scrambled). I made it so that’s basically how she “speaks”, which can already be sort of weird, but she’s also able to enter the plots and worlds of books, hence getting the title “Bookworm”, for being able to worm into books. ... Haha, I know, I’m clever-- Her outfit and physical appearance changes every time she enters a book, so it can be hard to pin down her /exact/ appearance, but she’s almost always small, salamander/lizard shaped, and has a color scheme of green, orange, and purple. 

Then there’s John. He’s a bunch of shapes that come together to sort of look like a really big bird. He’s only able to make accordion noises, for some reason-

Shawn and Dalore are pretty funky, too. They both look and function a lot like chandeliers, but are,, well, alive! They both care for each other quite a bit, and have been tasked with overlooking a museum-like area. ... Dalore isn’t the best at keeping her post, though, which worries Shawn a lot.

I also have the Sombies/Scraps/Shadows/Abandoned Characters, which, right now, are basically just what may happen to my characters when they lose their “spark” and/or end up forgotten. Though, for the entirety of these beings’ existence within my mind, they’ve always represented the concept of imperfect persistance after death. They were all once something else, but after their flames got snuffed out and something or someone came along to try and fix them, they’ve become warped. Nothing but the shadows of themselves, shambling and confused personalities and traits that have stretched and pulled and stretched and pulled like some hungry, eternally empty taffy of vantablack. They’re drawn towards the absence of light and heat, and now feast upon the organic matter surrounding them in order to continue their cheat against nonexistence.

There might be a few more abstract or surreal characters that I’m in possession in, so far these are the only ones I can recall, right now.
