TIRYAM

I've always been fascinated by Unova's design, about how all of it fits into the single area of NYC, and so I decided to design a pokémon region based off of the Autonomous Community of Madrid (CAM for short), Tiryam :)

I'll go through everything detailing the inspirations from each place; keep in mind that some routes I'll be skipping cause they don't have an irl basis, and that I had to change quite a few things to make this region work, in case it looks a bit confusing at the beginning :)

1. Melon Town: Based off the town of Villaconejos, famous for its melons. It would be just your average starter town.

3. Walnut Town: Based off the town of Chinchón, with a medieval feel to it and an incredible main square that would be the main focus of the pokémon town.

5. Elm City: Here you'll find the first gym, specialyzed in Grass types, and it is based on the city of Aranjuez, famous for its palace that would occupy the main portion of the pokémon city.

6. Sallow Forest: Based off the Casa de Campo, the largest green area in all of Madrid.

8. Willow Town: Based off Las Rozas Village, a shopping center / outlet modelled after a statian pedestrian city center (I think it's modeled after California ones specifically but idk), so the pokémon town would be the same.

9. Tremulous Lake: Based off the San Juan Reservoir, the largest body of water in the community, that will be the only water route of the region.

11. Spruce City: Here you'll find the second gym, a Rock type one. This city, hilly and with an extense agricultural and rural life, has two bases; Temple of Debod and San Isidro Prairie and Shrine, both in hilly areas of the city. This will make this city the more legendary and mythical one, with local stories of mysterious legendary pokémon helping out the farmers (and of course will have the main legendary pokémon of the game).

12. Route 5: This area is based off X-Madrid, a leisure center with roller and skateboarding, rock-climbing, etc, and all of that will be reflected in the pokémon route. It will also have a mall cause every region has one and this is the perfect spot for it.

13. Alder Town: Based off San Lorenzo de El Escorial, the town is famous for its monastery, and as such, this town will have it as it's central building.

14. Gated Mountain: Based off the Guadarrama Mountains and specifically Peñalara mountain.

15. Poplar Town: Here you'll battle your fourth gym, specialized in Ghost types, and its based off Guadarrama and other towns in the sierra, with stone houses and a cozy atmosphere.

16. Route 7: This area is based off the La Pedriza area before going into a Pokémon cemetery based off the Valley of the Fallen and the La Almudena Cemetery.

17. Route 6: This route has a building based off the Palace of Infante Don Luis that could be used as the Battle Chateau or something like that.

18. Fig City: Here you'll find the third gym, specialized in Normal types, and this city (just as the next one) is a conundrum of a series of areas in Madrid, in this case, of wealthy towns, barrios and districts such as Pozuelo de Alarcón, Majadahonda, Boadilla del Monte, Aravaca, Sanchinarro or Salamanca.

19. Route 8: This route will be full of train tracks that go into a station based off Atocha Station.

20. Pear City: This city is based off areas of Madrid with a traditionally worker class population, like Móstoles, Fuenlabrada, Getafe, Vallecas or Carabanchel, among others.

23. Twill Town: This town alongside the river that crosses the region (based off the Manzanares River) is based on the Madrid Río area, with the Matadero, which would probably act as an art gallery, as its main building.

24. Old Bridge: It's based off the Bridge of Toledo.

25. Linden City: Home of the fifth gym, full of Fairy types, this city will be dreamy-like, hosting the Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral and Campo del Moro, with a very "royal" feeling overall.

26. Route 11: This route will have a El Rastro -like flea market, full of stuff and a buzzing ambience.

27. Maple City: Based off the Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor and the Madrid de los Austrias (x) district, this is the main crossroads of the region, and has thrived on exchanges and bustling travellers, with tons of inns and cafes.

28. Jet Tunnel: Based off the El Pardo Mountain (x).

29. Juniper Town: Based off the University City (x) and the Paseo del Prado (x) (along with the museums in it), Juniper Town is the main cultural hub of the region.

31. Acacia City: Here you'll find the sixth gym, specialized in Psychic pokémon, and it's based off the district of Usera (x), that's kinda like an unofficial "chinatown", so this city will have Eastern-looking buildings.

32. Route 13: Here you'll find a building inspired in Las Ventas Bullring (x), which in this region could either serve as a stadium for PWT-style battles or for pokémon contests.

33. Mulberry City: Home of the seventh gym, specializing on Steel types, this city will be based off the financial district of Madrid, with the Paseo de la Castellana (x), Cuatro Torres Business Area (x), KIO Towers (x), AZCA (x), and busy and well-dressed people in a hurry to be somewhere.

35. Strawberry City: This is the capital of Tiryam, and it's based off Gran Vía (x), Puerta de Alcalá (x), Plaza de España (x), Edificio Metrópolis (x), and Callao Square (x), full of theaters, music, shops, cafés, and people.

37. Fir Town: This little town will be based on the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (x) and the nearby city of Torrejón de Ardoz (x), with a very industrial feeling.

38. Route 16: This route will be sprinkled with ruins based off the Roman city of Complutum (x), and it will have an archaeological museum based on the National Archaeological Museum (x).

39. Laurel City: This city will have the last and final gym, with Dragon type pokémon, and it's based off Alcalá de Henares (x), a medieval looking town with tons of history and cool places.

40. Victory Road: It'll be based off the Retiro Park (x), with a lake, a rose maze, and tons of green areas.

41. Pokémon League: It's based off the Palacio de Cristal (x) found in the Retiro Park.

#pokemon #tiryam #anyways in case you don't know i have also made a region based off andalusia and another one based off the spanish levant #and i'm making a series of posts on a region based on the iberian peninsula called ybra #you'll find all posts in my masterpost #anyways hope you like this one :)

Day 2 of our Unova vacation. 😂

We did take a look inside Dragonspiral Tower today. We didn't go very far up, only to the next floor up. The place is so old and it looks like the blast that opened it only a couple of years ago did quite a number on the lower floors. But you can just feel the history in there. I might have to look into the story behind the place again. The details are fuzzy in my head.

Anyway, it was raining on Route 8. But, well, all three of us are petty used to the rain. Thanks Raihan. 😂 Plus the route was short. Tubeline Bridge. However...

There's been some thugs that have been causing problems on the bridge for a while now. I'd read that they were only a problem on Friday nights, but it looks like they'd expanded their time slots. Oh you should have seen it though. Piers was having none of their crap right from the start and the moment one of the men tried to catcall him Piers laid into them! Not by himself, mind you, but Obstagoon sure had a blast! I sometimes forget that Piers had pretty much single handedly put a stop to any crime in Spikemuth while we were teenagers. But seeing him smack a gang of ruffians into submission really makes you remember just how powerful he is. (And if you ask me, those guys would probably have jumped at the chance to join Team Yell if they knew about it. Piers really beat some respect into them.)

He got embarrassed when Raihan and I praised him, lol.

We stopped for lunch at Shopping Mall Nine on Route 9. I even picked up a couple of little things as souvenirs. Raihan and Piers may have, too, but I was a little distracted trying to find just the right thing for Hop. 😅

We got to Opelucid as expected and wow is this city more amazing than I remember! You'd think the houses and other buildings were made in the stone age by looking at them from the outside, but on the inside I'd wager they're on the cutting edge of technology! I'd only ever passed through here before, so I never knew that.

Well, I think Raihan enjoyed this part of the trip. Almost everyone in the city has a dragon-type and there's lots of them all over the place. We let our dragon-types out to play for a while. And I think Obstagoon thinks he's half-dragon sometimes because he had a lot of fun playing too!

There's not really much else to say about today. We played tourist and explored the city, had dinner, and are basically on our way to bed. Tomorrow we're going to be flying to a different part of the region. But I won't say which. Raihan and Piers know, but for a few reasons I don't want to potentially draw attention to it.

So that's it. I'll tell you all more tomorrow.

#tomorrow should be a lot of fun #champion leon #pokemon leon

30 days of Autism Acceptance: Day 3!

April 3: Talk about special interests. Do you have any? What are they? How long have you had them? What does it feel like to have special interests? What does having special interests mean to you? Talk about your past special interests

HOO BOY! Ok, I’ll try not to go on too long about my special interests, but I have a lot to say about them! Also, some of my special interests are in this weird grey area of “are they a SpIn or a hyperfixation?”, so I’ll cover those as well, and make it noted when that’s the case for one. Also, this will be VERY LONG, so I’ll put it under a cut.

SpIn #1 - Pokemon

Pokemon has been my main special interest since I was 9, I believe! Black was my first game that I got for my birthday, and I was super happy to get it since all of my friends at the time would talk about it! I’ve gotten (almost?) every major release since then, thought I usually only get one out of the two versions.

The Pokemon games that I have are *inhales*: Black, Black 2, HeartGold (got a few years after it came out), X (I have the limited edition 3DS), Alpha Sapphire, Moon (first completed Pokedex!), Ultra Moon (haven’t beat and probably never will), Let’s Go, Eevee!, Sword (still trying to beat), Conquest, Art Academy, PMD: Gates to Infinity, Picross, Rumble World, Battle Trozei, Pokemon Quest, Pokemon Playhouse (for when I’m regressed), Poke Park 1 & 2, My Pokemon Ranch, and Battle Revolution!

I also used to play the TCG competitively, and in my first competition, I placed 9th in my division! I stopped playing about a year after that though because the cards I used in my strategy when I would practice with my Dad were too old to be viable.

I have a growing stuffie and merch collection as well! I have a lot of Unova stuffies, and a print of the Unova map that I got at a ren faire when I was younger (it currently hangs above my dresser)! My two favorite stuffies at this time are Baby my Eevee Build-A-Bear (named after my Eevee in Let’s Go, Eevee!), and Lily my Wooloo! I have a couple of Pokemon sketch cards that friends of my Dad’s drew, and some prints and figure-y things I’ve gotten in Artist Alleys over the years!

I also own a couple of different Pokemon books (not the manga, though), and 2 of the movies, along with the OSTs for B/W, X/Y, and ORAS! I don’t have much as far as clothing goes though, except for my “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” scarf and a Pikachu hat I got at an old anime store at the mall that has since closed. That’s probably all I can remember right now!

SpIn #2 - Steam Powered Giraffe

SPG has been a special interest for about 4 years now? Anyway, they’re my #1 favorite band and have literally saved my life. Watching Bunny Bennett’s (who plays Rabbit) vlogs about her transition, along with listening to the song Transform that she wrote (waaay before they just made it a single) really helped me accept myself and come out.

They also came at a time where I was struggling emotionally a lot, and I remember being stuck in the ER hooked up to an IV, and my mom played some of their albums for me to keep me calm and grounded. More recently, I saw them perform at Anime Midwest last year, and when they performed Transform (which neither me or my friends expected), we were all hugging each other and crying tears of joy (my friends are trans as well, and have also been touched by Bunny’s vlogs).

Their songs (not including the sad ones) make me really happy as well, and Make Believe makes me stim a lot in particular! I also got to sing Honeybee as part of a voice coaching summer camp I took last year, and it felt really good to do it! I really recommend listening to them, especially if you like steampunk and/or you’re looking for trans artists to support!

SpIn #3 - Little Shop of Horrors

So this is more of a fairly recent one, compared to the first two. This special interest mostly applies to the 1986 movie, but I’ve seen the stage musical as well! The music, the cast, the plot, it’s all *chef’s kiss*. But for real though, my two favorite things about the movie are the practical effects and the endings.

With the CGI fresh hell we got with CATS, you may thing, “wow, special effects were so much better back then”. Except here’s the thing, they were practical effects. Audrey II is (I believe) entirely puppetry, not CGI. The same applies for the musical as well! It really culminated at the end of the film during “Mean Green Mother from Outer Space”, when Audrey II is at it’s biggest and most elaborate. Speaking of that scene, I much prefer the director’s cut over the theatrical cut. I know that the happy ending is much better for Audrey and Seymour, but “Don’t Feed The Plants” is an absolute banger, and I get a good cry out of it too.

I heard they might be making a remake of the movie, which I’m hesitant about, again, seeing how CATS turned out. We can only hope that they listen to the fans, and make the right decisions when it comes to making it.

SpIn #4 - Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

Ok, so this is one of those aformentioned “is it a SpIn or a hyperfixation” moments. I’ve been hyperfixated on JJBA for the past 6 months and I’m physically unable to shut up about it XD

I’m about to start watching part 4 of the anime, I just need to set aside time to do it. I watched it a tad out of order, my ex told me to skip part 1 and watch a synopsis of it, so I started with part 2 (I’m a huge part 2 stan btw), got to part 3, was confused by everything going on with DIO, so I went back, watched part 1, and then resumed part 3.

As I mentioned, I’m a huge part 2 stan, so I currently have several part 2 character cosplays in the works. This includes (but isn’t limited to) Caesar, Suzi Q, Playboy Bunny Caesar (inspired by a piece of art that @tinypalettes drew), Tequila Joseph (but like,, actually decent drag), and Cleric Suzi Q from the JJBA D&D session me and my friends are having. I also want to do a drag/latex DIO look, along with maid DIO inspired by an old JUMP cover and a fanfic I read the other day.

I get a little nervous about doing/going to JJBA events at conventions because I’m worried about running into my ex, but knowing that I have supportive people with me helps a lot.

SpIn #5 - Homestuck/Hiveswap

So this is another one of those “SpIn or hyperfixation” moments as well. I’ve been into Homestuck since late 2016, but I’ve never been super involved in the fandom. Like, yes, I have a moirail and I’ve been in and hosted panels at conventions, but I’ve encountered some toxic people in it, so I try to distance myself.

I will say, however, that Homestucks are loyal to their fandom, and will buy merch if they like it. When I say that, yes, I mean myself, but it’s mostly about my Etsy customers. If you look at my sales history, the majority of it is quadrant necklaces, almost always the moirail ones. I get some orders for horns and pillows too, but not as often as the necklaces. When it comes to exhibiting at conventions, it depends. I normally don’t put Homestuck stuff out on the table because it’s such a niche, but when I do, people will usually buy a lot at once. For example, at Wizard World Madison in 2018, one guy bought $50-60 worth of Homestuck sprites from me. That weekend was the best I’ve ever done, and I haven’t come close since. My Etsy store started out as just me making Homestuck sprites for me and my friends too, so I’m glad that I was able to expand and give others what I like as well.

I’m also involved in a Hiveswap YouTube musical, and I’ve made a lot of good friends through it! We’re on hiatus right now, but we should be starting up again soon! I also have a lot of Homestuck cosplays! I’ve done Karkat, John, Jade, Nepeta, Trickster Nepeta, Karkat Peixes (a bloodswap), and I have a lot more that I want to do!

SpIn #6 - Danganronpa

So Danganronpa is (probably) one of those last “SpIn or hyperfixation” things. I’ve been into Danganronpa since 2018 (I think?), and DR:AE is my favorite (mostly because I’m a Kotoko and Toko kinnie oof-)!

Right now, my only Danganronpa cosplay is Toko/Syo, but I’m working on a couple of j-fashion (particularly menhera and fairy kei) inspired looks to do with my moirail (who was the one who got me into j-fashion), and just some Amazon/eBay cosplays as well! I’m also working on a Future Foundation Toko cosplay to do with my moirail so we can do Tokomaru together (though most of it is thrifting and clothes I already have)!

I own DR1, SDR2, and DR:AE on my computer, but I don’t play them much. The second trial in DR1 gives me panic attacks because of the whole breaking of trust thing (I’ve heard the audios and I just,,, break down), I haven’t touched SDR2 yet, and I’m sucky at the controls for DR:AE. However, I’ve watched the anime and I’ve seen let’s plays, so I have a feel for what’s going on, though I may not remember it all correctly since I haven’t watched them in a while.

———————————–

So that’s most (if not all) of my special interests! I probably forgot some, but it’s getting late and I need to pack for my Mom’s and go to bed. I hope you all have a good night!
