#toxic chain

[tealmaskmybeloved]

Happy anniversary to my blog!

To celebrate, I figured I'd do a drawing of a whole BUNCH of Toxic Chained Kieran designs that I've seen over the past year.

I'm sorry if I wasn't able to include everyone.

HEBIJEEBI (Poison/Dragon)

My last bonded pokemon for now, this time the pokemon is DUNSPARCE, one that grew tired of not being taken seriously by others, it became a retainer to gain the respect and fear of others

Its design is based on those cartoony red devil costumes with plastic horns and a plastic trident, this is more obvious in the shiny form thanks to the red color

The theorising has gotten to me. I don't want to hype up part 2 of the DLC TOO hard for myself, but... What if this toxic chain didn't just get a hold of Kieran but his Pokémon too...

shh...

Bad Pokémon Fan-name Idea

We call Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres the Legendary Birds, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune the Legendary Beasts, the Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza the Weather Trio, etc. Since the newest legendary trio are a group of all-male Pokémon that spends their time harassing a female Pokémon, my recommendation for the fan-name for this trio is:

Bad Pokémon Fan-name Idea: The Legendary Misogynists

PKMN ScarVio DLC AU ~ Possessed!Kieran

Just finished the page for my contribution to the good ol’ Toxic Chain theory :OOO

I recently finished the Teal Mask and finishing up the Indigo Disk DLC and while i really did like the fact that Kieran’s actions were all his own and makes him a much more realistic/relatable character, I am feeling a little robbed we didn't get a possessed!kieran + i really did not like the direction they took w/ Mochi Mayhem. I felt like it was WAAAY too silly/comedic for my tastes (if you liked it more power to you tho!), and wish we had more lore/backstory and involvement of Pecharunt and the Loyal 3 respectivally.

so i wanted to try killing two birds with one stone and try to mash ID and MM together somewhat! So heres some sketches and concept stuff ft. My PKMN!Violet sona. And also make this AU ANGSTY AS FUCK-

im not a comedy/crack/silly person when it comes to stories involving manipulation/mind control type of stuff because i just get second hand embarressment for those under doing wierd stuff while not aware so if your looking for a “silly haha!” AU with this type of concept ive got bad news for ya… this AU aint gonna be for you-

Starting off… my design for when Kieran is fully possessed by Pecharunt!

I still really liked the fact that Kieran was like. FULLY aware and in his own mind/body during ID; so i want to keep that in this AU too - for the most part.

id like to think that once making a deal with Pecharunt and offering himself to it in order to become stronger, the little peach would slowly feed him mochi that would “numb the pain and guilt if he ever feels doubtful.” At the time of Pecharunt’s debut to the start of ID, pecharunt is extremely weak and thus, its influence isnt as effective or strong. However, when we meet Kieran again, he’s definately beginning to change. throughout the story, we see Kieran’s spiraling descent into madness as he becomes more intimidating and cynical.

i dont have a specific spot where hed have this outfit change, but ill figure it out lol.

However, i def think it would be a bit after his panic attack/mental break down when we defeat him. Since at this point he couldnt uphold his end of the deal with Pecharunt, it has no choice: he offered his body and mind to it to get stronger, but he couldnt keep it up. So now, he has to pay the price.

(This would be right after the Ex-Champ bit - fuck you Draydon)

however, instead of telling himself to get stronger like in canon… he mumbles something indescernable and unintelligable… and then he starts… laughing?

“K-Kieran…?”

“Uh… yo, earth to ex-champion… you doin’ alright-?”

Suddenly… he glares at us… no. He glares at you, tears streaming down his face but an animalistic and crazily wide smile is plastered on his face as he stumbles back up, hugging himself while letting out what one would think is the most maniacal, despairing, crazy cackling laughter one could hear.

That's when you see it - his eyes, formally a light yellow, now a bright yet darkly sinister shade of violet-magenta. The scrunchie he was wearing began growing two strings of toxic chains that waved around like tentacles, and lifted him up in the air like stilts, purple smoke filling the area.

what was happening… whats happened to Kieran.

no, whatever that was…

Thats not Kieran.

The bottom sketch is a small scenario i had in mind!

i want pecharunt to have a larger role so here they are! After returning the teal mask to me and carmine and running off, he stumbles upon an injured and weak Pecharunt, and secretly nurses it back to health. Behind everyone’s backs the two spark a friendship/partnership!

i like to think pecharunt has good intentions and did genuinely want to help kieran get stronger, but i like to think that the toxins it gave to Kieran not only began to mess with Kieran’s mind, but with Pecharunt’s too.

how exactly? No idea just yet lol- ill figure that out later on down the line lol. Along with the loyal 3’s roles in the story as well.

Heres a few for fun and more funny sketches i made to fill up the empty space lol-

also feat. Moi, yuma and shinigami jykghhfjhfdjhygjuy-

QUICK DISCLAIMER! IM NOT SHIPPING MYSELF W/ KIERAN SINCE HES IMPLIED TO BE A TEEN AND IM A LEGAL ADULT!! the DLC came out when i was 17; almost 18 (released a few days before my bday actually!)

i like to think that when this story and AU respectively take place, Kieran is 14 while im 16 turning 17 that fall in Teal Mask (Carmine being 18 or 19?), then in Indigo Disc Kieran is 16, im 18, and Carmine is 19/20. So me and kieran are 2 years apart, while me and Carmine are 1-2 years apart.

Its mostly because id like to think me and kieran’s dynamic is similar to a close friend i have irl and wanted to write it as such while retaining the canon story too. If that makes sense lol.

And one more sady drawing when kieran is freed from Pecharunt’s control!

i think i speak for everyone that we needed a scene where we hugged kieran after all the shit he’s been through-

justice for my baby boy kieran. :,,,))

AAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD THATS ALL I GOT FOR NOW!!

what do yall think :000

any suggestions/ideas, critiques, whatever is on your mind about this AU is appreciated!! Im gonna get back to my remnant designs lol-

[mooflettes]

Moot said that Kieran gave Kokichi crying "YOU'RE SO MEAAAAAAAN" core and honestly....I see it...

He's slowly morbing

PS. Carmine finally got him a new phone (entirely her mistake)

[skyedancer2006]

I don’t really talk about it much but man, I absolutely love seeing all the different takes people have on Toxic Chain AUs and stuff

Of course there’s the classic Toxic Chain Kieran, and even within that there’s such a wide variety of ways that people take it. From him being a complete vessel for Pecharunt, to him just being controlled or influenced, to it warping and changing him as a person in so many different ways- the list goes on and on!

And AUs where its other people that get chained too; Carmine, the Paldea trio, Florian/Juliana, Briar, etc etc

And with Chained designs for different Pokémon too! Whether that be complete fakemons inspired by the Loyal 3, or taking existing species and putting a Chained twist on them

And I can’t forget when people combine it with other AUs and concepts like Kieranpon, or personality/role swap AUs! Or making the characters other species! I wonder if anyone’s made a Mystery Dungeon take on it ; that would be cool….

Not sure where I was going with this; just felt like rambling and appreciating others’ AUs and concepts lol!

[tealmaskmybeloved]

I had a vision

[darksilvania]

HOLIMOLEI (Poison/Ground)

Another bonded pokemon, this time its a DUGTRIO who wanted to enhance its sense

The placement of the chains around its heads is based on the Three Wise Monkeys (See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil)

[quinnwolfess]

At my school, we're designing whirlygigs. This was the teacher that asked if pokemon was still relevant, so I made a pokémon themed whirlygig, just to prove that it is still very culturally relevant.

Let's prove that this Fandom is still relevant!
