Me: Hmm, I wanna mess around with giving Jamil short hair in the au.

My Brain: Then do it.

Me: Yeah but idk if he'd cut it in universe and call me Nomura but I want to justify the wardrobe changes-

My Brain: Hmm.... Spear fight gone wrong?

Me: PERFECT!

I'm not allowed to be on social media for more than two seconds today but I just wanted to say that Laios will absolutely have his own reaction to all this as someone who would die for Falin but has also imprinted on Marcille as his Emotional Support Comphet White Girl Not-Girlfriend along the way

OFFSCREEN POST

The playground was filled with students as they crowded the makeshift arena— where lines were drawn in the sand with children’s shoes and borders were marked with a rectangular ring of rocks around the field. A blonde Lass and a brunette Youngster stood on opposite sides of the battlefield.

“Done going to the bathroom, Rei-Rei?” the Lass taunted. “Were you scared or just stalling?”

The Youngster growled, “Quit callin’ me that, Katsumi!” Pulling a Pokeball from her waist, she huffed and said, “Let’s just get this battle over with so I can win!”

Katsumi blinked for a moment, but pulled out her own Pokeball. “I’d like to see you try!”

The two girls tossed their Pokeballs into the ring.

“Go, Gertrude!”

“Frick ‘em up, Sparx!”

Gertrude, Katsumi’s trusty Butterfree, materialized onto the field in a flash of light, already ready and raring to go.

Meanwhile, Rat’s Pikachu Sparx apathetically glanced around the arena. With a yawn, he sat down and scratched behind his ear with his back leg.

Katsumi wearily tilted her head at the Pikachu on the field. “Uhh… I thought you weren’t allowed to bring Sparx to school anymore…”

Rat scoffed at her, “Whaddaya gonna do, tell on me? Snitches get stitches.”

The Lass squinted back at her opponent, but said nothing. Instead, she thrust a finger forwards and shouted, “Alright, Gertrude, let’s start off with Poison Powder!”

“Dodge it, Sparx!” Rat commanded her Pikachu.

The Butterfree blew a purple powdered substance in Sparx’s direction, but the Pikachu rolled its eyes and leapt out of the way.

With a grin, Rat punched a fist in the air and said, “Yes! Now hit ‘em with a Thunderbolt!”

But the Pikachu in question didn’t seem to pay any mind to his trainer’s words. He looked back at her with an apathetic glance and scoffed at her.

Katsumi seemed to hesitate. “Um… Reiko…?”

Rat didn’t listen to her. “C’mon, Sparx! Use Thunderbolt!”

Again, the Pikachu just loafed around, ignoring his trainer’s commands.

“Reiko—”

“Thundershock! Thunderbolt! Do something!”

Sparx seemed to grow visibly annoyed, glaring back at Rat and twitching his ear with irritation.

Gertrude shot a nervous glance in her trainer’s direction. Kat slowly pulled a different Pokeball from her waist and crept forwards onto the battlefield, keeping her eye on the Pikachu. “Reiko, I don’t think—“

Visibly red in the face, Reiko clenched her fists and shouted at her Pokemon, “Just hit someone already!”

“REIKO!”

In the blink of an eye, Katsumi threw out her Sandshrew just before Sparx sent a bolt of lightning at Rat. The electric attack was absorbed by the Ground Type Pokemon, saving the person behind it from harm.

The playground fell silent. The only sound heard was Reiko and Katsumi’s heavy breathing.

It felt like ages until Kat finally spoke.

“What… were you thinking, Reiko?!”

Rat flinched at the sudden change of volume, eyes darting left and right as she became suddenly aware of the crowd around them “I— I wasn’t—“

Kat returned her Pokemon and stomped forwards to be face to face with her rival. “You shouldn’t use Sparx in battle if you can’t even keep him under control!”

“I can—“

“You could’ve gotten hurt, Rei!”

“But I—”

“Stop.” The Lass raised a hand at her rival. “Just…” She rubbed the bridge of her nose between her fingers and sighed, “Just stop…”

Reiko bit her lip to keep it from wavering.

Katsumi let out a tired breath and said, “We’ve tried to tell you so many times but it’s like you don’t even listen. Sparx won’t respect you unless you show him that you’re worthy of his respect. Professor Oak told you, your mom told you— heck, even I told you!”

The other girl silently lowered her head and gritted her teeth.

“It’s a two-way street, Reiko. You only get as much respect as you give.”

Katsumi stepped past her rival and glanced at her from over her shoulder with a frown. “And you don’t seem to give either of us your respect.”

my only big complaint about stampede is that we never got to see the characters just chilling. like not only would that have been really fun and helped establish their dynamics and characters better, but i especially feel that if it was put between episodes 4 and 5 it wouldve helped the pacing so much.

like I can't be the only one who was thrown off by wolfwood going from "some weird guy we hit with the van and has a big gun" to one of the gang between those episodes.

also the show takes place over about 2 months, but the lack of downtime and how quick they went from jeneora rock to being on the sandsteamer makes it feel like a week or two at most.

also this might just be a me thing, but I'm a lil confused about exactly how long vash was unconscious after episode 7. was it a few hours? days? idk. also i wish we'd got to see more of them just chilling at Home but that's less a pacing thing and more just me wanting it

[evilkitten3]

i know it's been said before but it's still startling every time i get the reminder that apparently a lot of young people think "gay panic" is "getting flustered by having a gay crush on someone" instead of. y'know. a legal defense for a homophobic hate crime

[mabaris]

also. tbh. a little disappointed it seems like taash is Also going to be from the qun, or at least a very recent defect. i was hoping we’d get to see more vashoth characters

I finally got around to reading bbts, which is so amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing. In chapter 5, was Clark able to get there before the self destruct even went off? Like, that’s what I was thinking, but the alternative is Clark digging Tim out from the collapsed building and that is also delightfully painful… anyways I’m so excited to read the ending when you get to it. ❤️❤️❤️

thank you for reading!! clark got there right as the building was actually caving in; in my mind, that’s how he found it—kon told him what to look for, but because of the noise dampening machine clark couldn’t use his hearing to help locate tim. so he was close enough to see the building start to destruct and therefore rescue tim, but for max drama it was like just in time. (we’ll sort of see this at the top of chapter 6; i wrote an outsider pov scene a while ago just to work out the events for myself, and it ended up being the chapter opener.)

Honestly, I'm never really going to get over how the writers use Luz lying to her literal girlfriend as plot convenience. They really think that little hug at the end of Eclipse Lake fixes Amity's insecurities surrounding her relationship with Luz. Even though Luz shows her time and time again that she doesn't trust her enough to be honest with how she feels lmao.

[dangans-ur-ronpas]

i should probably add tags to thpff to establish that everyone's fucked up. like yes there will be soft moments and gentle moments but also they are being severely twisted by their circumstance so there's no possible way they can still be 'normal'...even by canon standards. a normal 'healthy' relationship is a long way off
