I always side-eyed the whole “DEI Wave” because it was all only after the senseless murders of black people that made national news. Corporations, schools, etc now all of a sudden “care” about diversity, equity, and inclusion. 🤔 Now here we are in another election year and these positions and initiatives are being cut left and right. 🤦🏾‍♀️

i care IMMENSELY and need to know the teams the gyms the story and all of it my hands are open my listening ears are on please please please 🤲🏻

kendy, kendy, kendy!! sorry, that this took so long it has been an absolutely wildly busy/burnt out point in my life!!!

@reveluving idk if you’re a big pkmn girly, but i feel like you would love this too 👉🏾👈🏾

i actually made teams for like 8 characters for my batman fics so let me know if you want to see another one for my damian/oc wip. 🥺

for jason and my self-ship oc, bella

jason would be a dark-type gym leader by day, and definitely the leader of a violent criminal organization by night.

but what he’s doing isn’t too bad! he controls nightclubs, underground battling rings, and casinos like the ones in the game. just like in canon though, he never lets anybody harm children and he’ll hunt down any trainers in his area that are found to be abusive.

he’s tall, tough and scary but he’s sweet to his pokémon. if a kid loses to him at the gym, he won’t even take the prize money, he’ll just buy them ice cream! if teenagers or anyone older loses to his gym, he’ll just donate the prize money to local homeless shelters and places that house less fortunate children and pokémon. (not like he needs it with all of the money he makes.)

i will leave whether or not he kills people to how dark you interpret the universe to be; he would never harm a pokémon, though. anybody else remember when lance straight up murdered a team rocket member in gold/silver?

anyway this is his team!!

shiny duskull; it’s less of a pokémon he uses for battling and more just his constant companion. it’s his partner, despite being a ghost type because it’s red, masked, represents the grim reaper/death, and is a symbol of scared, crying children.

houndoom: also carries the imagery of death/hell, but it represents and his love for dogs, especially ace the bat-hound!

scrafty: it’s based on street fashion and being a delinquent, rebellious hoodlum, which fits pretty well given jason’s upbringing. duskull is his partner, but scraggy was probably the first pokémon he had.

absol: it’s a protector especially to children but is misunderstood constantly because people think it’s a bad omen of destruction, which reminds me of his reputation :(

honchcrow: it’s a mob boss, there’s not much else to say.

bisharp: wears metallic red armor and the pokédex calls it ruthless and unchanging in expression when it hunts and kills. it also usually has an army of smaller pokémon that do a lot of fighting and cutting down for it.

my oc isabella works at a bookstore, which is where her romance with jason blossoms. she’s down to earth and represents the every day people of gotham in a way that the batfamily can’t, so she would definitely be a normal type trainer; similar to how lenora in bw runs her normal-type gym out of a library in the back of a museum.

the bookstore however wouldn’t be a certified gym by the league, rather it’s more of a training space for people who want to research and practice more - she’d probably limit herself to one battle a day at the very end of her shift as a way to destress and if you win, you can get any book of your choosing for free!

jason won several times and still paid ‘as a tip’ when they first met, just so she would like him more. When she tried to return it, he only agreed to take it back if he could use it to take her on a date :(

here’s her team:

maushold: while in my actual stories, she’s comically afraid of mice, she and jason end up having a set of twins girls! plus maushold is just an inside joke with my sister who helps me develop a lot of my batman fanfiction ideas. 🥰

lopunny: because of the way it looks, people forget that lopunny can kick your ass. which is the same as isabella, who isn’t a trained fighter, but could absolutely sock you out. plus, especially with its mega evolution, lopunny takes a lot of inspiration from dancing, and isabella represents the latin side of my heritage, by being a bachatera/salsera! again, this is a love letter to my sister who’s 2nd fav is buneary!

eevee: she’s adaptable! plus, like jason, she loves puppies!

blissey: for her calming, motherly influence! (if trainers were allowed to 7 pokemon, i’d give her a kangaskhan for this too!)

cyclizar: come on. you can’t marry jason todd, without loving motorcycle rides. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

noctowl: her partner! represents her love for books and she’s a night owl, like everyone in gotham!

Could you please provide a list of each one of the power pills friends/ other important people from their part of the webcomic? i keep getting confused between each character friends….😭

:D

OC INFORMATION REQUESTED

Okay this is gonna be a long one strap in.

Also, have a little key for how important to the plot all the characters are

MAIN CHARACTER/VILLAIN | MAJOR PLAYER | MEDIUM PLAYER | MINOR PLAYER | JUST THERE TO GIVE A CHARACTER A FRIEND

TEAM SOUL SEER

CALEB BUDDE | SOUL SEER

The first member of the Power Pills. He's shy, awkward, and is somehow the unofficial leader of the Power Pills. Mostly everyone looks to him to make the final call on stuff because he's been around the longest.

GUY FOUST

Caleb's roommate and best friend. Went with Caleb during his first superhero mission and got physically shot while there.

KATE DHANANI

A friend of Guy's who eventually became a friend of Caleb's. She's the martial arts trainer for the Power Pills.

AVERY RODRIGUEZ

The first supervillain created by Future Tech. He's 16 years old and was given to Future Tech as an experiment by his parents in exchange for promotions.

TRAVIS BIRMAN

Guy's childhood friend and Merri's boyfriend. He's just the only friend character who doesn't know that his friend is a superhero.

TEAM WAX GUISE

DAN WIRSCH | WAX GUISE

The second member of the Power Pills. He's the literal embodiment of a theater kid. Despite his energetic and carefree attitude, he's one of the smartest members of the team.

JASON KENDI

Jason is Dan's roommate and the go-to costume designer for the Power Pills. He's a MASSIVE nerd and loves doing closet cosplay. He seems to have some kind of connection to Lightbringer.

LUCY CIPHER

The manager (and drum player) of Dan's band. She matches him in energy and personality.

NICO HYLAND

Lucy's fiancee and the keyboardist for Dan's band. He's the type to sit back and listen to Lucy's energetic ramblings for hours.

MAX ARMIJO

Dan's second roommate and lead guitarist for Dan's band. He's a more successful actor than Dan and does his best to help Dan get roles.

TEAM BULLETPROOF

MERRI BODKIN | BULLETPROOF

The third member of the Power Pills. She's a sweet-hearted individual with boundless optimism. She's the heart of the group. However a lot of her personality DOES come from the fact that she's a Catholic and her suppressed frustration tends to come out when she's fighting as Bulletproof in the form of a SUPER brutal fighting style.

AMBER LUPE

One of Merri's best friends. She is just as kind and sweet as Merri, but much less energetic.

PERCY VAN STONE

Merri's foil. She is energetic, she is bold, she loves everything Merri hates.

TEAM QUICKWIT

KRISTY EDA | QUICKWIT

The fourth member of the Power Pills and the resident "basically normal guy but with a bow" of the team. She's an independent artist trying to make it in the art world.

GEMMA VOSS

The sculptor to Kristy's painter. She has almost no shame and has no problems both speaking and acting her mind.

JAKE WESTLAKE

Probably also an artist of some kind but we haven't seen them do any sort of art so I'm not sure. They're relentlessly supportive of their friends.

TEAM STREAMLINE

Hahaaaa oh god sorry, Tate.

TATE PALMER | STREAMLINE

Tate is the fifth member of the Power Pills as well as the most energetic. She's a massive cosplayer and makes her living selling her work online.

TEAM THE WEB

(boy that one doesn't have a ring to it at ALL, does it)

SIBYL DEMIR | THE WEB

Sibyl is the sixth and newest member of the Power Pills. He's the resident scientist, studying biology. He's been through a lot, but once he settles into a network of supporting friends, he reveals that he is a a snarky, strong-willed man.

SEBASTIAN CROWL

A superpowered cult member who saved Sibyl and Caleb's lives when they were captured. He sacrificed himself to help the two of them escape. His status is unknown though he reassured Sibyl that the cult wouldn't kill him.

BENNY O'KEEFE

Benny is Sibyl's biology teacher and is the person who helped Sibyl through the darkest moment of his life.

VINNY RAMONE

Not seen onscreen, but he's Sibyl's ex.

JENNA BEGER

Sibyl's childhood friend who tried to trade away his life in order to join The Cult of Lacrima. Her status is also unknown.

TEAM ███████

MATT NOTTON

The recipient of the Pink Pill who needs to be put on a GODDAMN LEASH. The only pill candidate who decided to use their powers for selfish reasons.

DAMIEN BRIDGES

A man that Matt kidnapped in an attempt to learn how to control his powers. He's... god he's still there.

DALTON RENTFRO

Matt's teammate and a MASSIVE Matt hater.

OTHERS

????? | LIGHTBRINGER

The person who gives out the pills to the candidates. He's stoic but generally friendly.

??????

Only called "Scarecrow Lady" in comic so far, this is the woman who broke into Merri's dressing room in book 3 trying to kidnap her. Caleb erased her memory of their identities but she hinted that she had something "Way better" than her memories.

LONDON KURTZ

A mean girl who peeked in high school. She is obsessed with status.

PHYLLIS WORRALL

One of London's obligatory lackeys. The other of which, Lilith, apparently left London very recently for unknown reasons and has not been seen onscreen.

KRAVEN GREEVES

The owner of the martial arts dojo that the Power Pills train at. He knows what's going on with the superheroes, but he knows it's not his place to say anything.

And I reached the maximum number of images I can put on a post apparently so I have been hard capped here.

Btw if you want to see or ask more about my OCs you should check out @bookfanocs. I don't post much on there but you never know when I'll be inspired.

april wrap up

planning perfect by haley neil- a contemporary ya with an ace mc and i was incredibly disappointed. incredibly frustrating to read and made my anxiety rise.

overall grade: D

stamped: racism, anti racism, and you by jason reynolds and ibram x kendi- a nonfiction book, adapted from the adult novel. it was incredibly informative and very easy to follow. the audio was tons of fun. if the adult version seems intimidating, try this version!

overall grade: A

the golem and the jinni by helene wecker- this was a gorgeous novel. lately i have been not been able to focus on long books as much as i used to, but the audio of this was captivating. i loved the characters and the themes and the writing. absolutely worth your time.

overall grade: A

growing up trans: in our own words- a fantastic nonfiction book, centering on trans children and teens. a quick read too. i enjoyed how poems were combined with essays. it felt like a safe space for trans youth to express themselves and i think that we need more of those spaces.

overall grade: A

legends and lattes by travis baldree- overhyped for me rip. i thought the characters were underdeveloped and it was very meh for me.

overall grade: C

take a hint dani brown by talia hibbert- a reread and its such a fun one!! i love romance novels and talia hibbert isone of my faves.

overall grade: A

frizzy by claribel a ortega- the graphic novel curly girls need!! it addressed misogynoir and how it affects young Black girls and their perception of themselves. i wish i had this as a kid.

overall grade: A

hi ro 💕 how about 4, 8, and 17 with the self ship of your choice?

hi kendy!!!!!!! aaaaaa thank you for indulging me hehehe i'm gonna do this with me n jason because i miss him <333

4. spooning or one person laying their head on the other’s chest?

i think it depends but for the most part one of us laying our head on the other's chest !! most of the time it's me though it's so hard for me to sleep in a bed with someone and not accidentally end up cuddling into them in some way

8. constantly bragging about dating each other or keeping the relationship relatively secretive?

i think i'm the yapper in the relationship but i can't help that i'm too obsessed with the people i love!!! i just want to scream about it !!!! one time i got drunk and i spent a good few minutes talking about how much i loved one of my best friends to a stranger 😭 he's more private i think though but he has his moments heehee

17. love at first sight or slow burn?

ooooo i actually don't know because when i think of us i think it's so childhood sweethearts but i think even then it's a bit of a slow burn because it takes ages for one of us to say anything or do anything despite liking each other...i feel like we'd be the 'no they don't like me!!!!' duo meanwhile the other one is literally so obvious about their feelings. stupid silly kids. i don't think we get together officially until we're older though because of everything else that happens with his death and just circumstances post-resurrection aaaaaaa

AAAAA thank you kendall again for letting me indulge 🥺 you r literally the sweetest i'm wishing you roses and the happiest weekend ever with satoru <333

stenny or kendy for the ship bingo?

stenny:

i love stenny!!! i read the cutest fic about it a while ago and it’s been very dear to me ever since. that fic is also what introduced me to the idea of gender nonconforming stan and pansexual simp kenny and i absolutely adore them both. one thing i’d like to see more of is knight stan x princess kenny! it’s like the bodyguard trope but for my favourite boys :)

kendy:

it’s funny that you asked about them because i literally just got introduced to the idea a few days ago in a The Good Place AU fic on ao3 where they replaced Jason and Tahani! While I personally see them as platonic I can definitely see their appeal as a ship! Wendy deserves the world and I think Kenny would definitely treat her right if they were a couple :)

okay i guess if kendall is going to be the lounging, fairy type princess “stereotypical barbie” of the pokémon au one of us has to get shit done…

since i’m the university student who literally learned how to read by playing pokémon, i’ll take the “black barbie president” role and be the professor!

my lab is in a busy city and it is impossible to catch me without a book in hand or filing away research on the pokédex. peeps are a lil bit scared me because my place has way too many fully evolved scary pokémon like gengar, blastoise and venusaur, i have a scary boyfriend (jason or geto) and i’m grumpy from sleepless work nights but if you or your pokemon ever need anything - food, advice, battle practice, a kiss on the forehead? i’m the one to call.

bonus: catch me on a good day hanging out at kendy’s gym and I’ll tell you really cute stories about raising my little squirtle and bulbasaur as a kid and how kendy gave me a jigglypuff hair-clip :(

JDIEKDKSSK this made me cackle lmao I promise I’m not lazy! my gym is a lesson in developing strong bonds with your Pokémon and in our day my team was killer, we just decided to take things easy. we take in pokemon that have been neglected and people know they can always surrender mons they can’t take care of to me with no questions asked. there’s a little meadow in the back of my gym and it’s full of half domesticated Pokémon that don’t wanna live indoors lmfaoooo

I love this though and I love that it’s time well spent to learn about the creatures themselves. anyone whose scared of your team is just a goofy little guy tbh bc they’re mighty but sweet And you can tell they love you!!!!

I’ll give you even more hair clips the next time you come back 🩷 my jigglypuff cannot wait to put on a show for you again
