Hi just wanted to let you know that after finishing the Hop & Hau PMMM posts that I am now drafting a fanfic in my head where
So basically The two Warlocks Sayf and Kinimaka somehow meet, idk how w/ the regional differences but they do
And Sayf is like "well this is a nice barrier, I like it a lot, but I have audience expectations and a legacy to live up to" and Kinimaka is very firm about no disturbance to his heaven
So Sayf does the most logical thing he can do
And just surrounds the weaker warlock's barrier with his own
See? Aren't you so much safer with my protection? If anybody were to enter you heaven and threaten it? I'll just snatch them up and make a spectacle upon which my audience will cheer
(It's basically Hala and the "being to soft on the boy" and sheltering theme all over again yippee!)
And if any of my challenger prove too disappointing, unwilling to fight? Off to you they go
Maybe they set up a routine, where Sayf spends some time in Kinimaka's barrier just to indulge in the escapism of it, then returning to his own barrier when the itch for battle becomes too much
And Kinimaka? Doubt he'd be pleased that Sayf refuses to become lcl one w/ his barrier, but hey at least he comes back routinely, and even gives or takes humans that'd be perfect for either
Friendship/Puppy Love, but you're two Eldritch abominations doomed to drown in despair
I won't be surprised if the more likely outcome was that Sayf and Kinimaka fought and the former won
But hey I like the idea of warlocks/witches/magicians being friendly w/ one another
Will it ever be posted? No but I might as well share the idea
*inhaaaaaale...*
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! /POS
THIS IS??? SO FUCKING ADORABLE???? Ok, ok, analysis hat is back on-
Actually, it is very possible for witches to migrate from one point to another, as presented to us in Magia Record; the issue for when it comes to those within the Pokemon universe, however, is the issue of adaptability and not being aware of how things work in the region they've arrived in due to their despair-clouded minds. For example, if a witch arrived in Alola and targeted another one in a fight, you'd bet the others there won't be so happy (because themes of unity and all, as well as the fact that witches there only target other people and pokemon- not their kin); queue the torches, pitchforks, and cotton candy.
Thankfully, even as a warlock, Sayf still retains his intelligence somewhat- even if it is as much as, let's say, to the levels of Winchester's. I think he'd be able to catch on to how things operate in the region- and even if he made a slip-up, he's tough enough to take on an angry mob of witches before realizing the gravity of his mistake.
As for the two goobers themselves and how they interact, you've captured that SO WELL <3333 I adore the healthy, albeit mutually parasitic, relationship they have going on; Sayf managing to be a hero to at least one person, while Kealamauloa, while disappointed that this new friend of his won't accept eternal happiness, is at least enjoying some company and is appreciative of how he's making his goals easier.
I cannot bear to see how unlucky their victims are gonna be and the kind of whiplash they'll be constantly forced to experience, lmao; one second you've found yourself trapped in a dingy, dim hallway before facing off against a mutilated black sheep donning gladiator armor. However, as you continue running for your life and do everything in your power NOT to engage in a fight with him, he gets so bored and disappointed with you that he just throws you to a nice bright paradise where a friendly dragon resides.
The irony in their situations is also amazing to point out; Sayf's pursuit of glory still hasn't stopped, and Keals is, once more, sheltered in one way or the other.
I also REALLY want them to talk about their problems; the memories of their human lives may be hazy from the madness, but the similarities and contrasts between the way they were both raised - one was emotionally neglected by all but the one person he now sees as his perfect, all-powerful hero, and the other was showered with love- yet that did nothing to stop him from seeing the truth of this world - would make an interesting topic for conversation. I could also see Sayf making sure the flora growing from Keals doesn't get too irritating, and Kealamauloa would try to make sure Sayf isn't suffering too much from his injuries by allowing him to relax and heal every once in a while.
And yep- Sayf would clear if such a fight were to occur. Kealamauloa may be able to wipe a town or even a city clean if he wanted to, but Sayf had managed to screw over all of Galar (whether or not the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra have been affected is up to ya'll's imaginations). I don't think I've elaborated too much on how exactly that happened aside from the people gradually going cuckoo-bananas, but, as a brief summary- think Roaring Town from the Ash-Veil Lane ARG and, once Sayf was at his full power and the region was in his hands, Hell from 'the (aka Coronation Day) with the trumpets and everything. I also forgot to mention that he did all that without the use of a witch's kiss/warlock's whisper thanks to Hop's powers of creating new memories- sorry for neglecting that detail!

Yeah- witches being friendly to one another is always a great basis for a tale like this; that's why this blog exists! Personally, I like to reimagine that this blog is a labyrinth that exists within the borders of the multiverse, and witches tend to pass by every once in a while just to share their stories and have a cup of joe every now and then. I'unno, but the idea of eldritch abominations just chilling in a 50's diner was just too cute of an idea to pass up!
Back to our goobers, Keals is already kind enough to most humans and witches that pass by their labyrinth, and so long as Sayf doesn't do anything too stupid and causes shit, the same mercy is extended to him. Have no worries, anon, the possibility of them being pals is there within the canon of this hypothetical AU! In fact, as I've already explained, most witches in Alola prefer to cooperate with one another rather than fight over their own territories.
Overall, you have no idea how receiving this has made my day!! Thank you so, so, so much for this!!! <333

Still am gathering inspirations and references for the latter, but Sayf al-Muharib (Hop's witch/warlock form) should be friends with Hau's.

Bede from Pokemon Sword and Shield would turn into a witch in Puella Magi Madoka Magica!
Cause of Witchification: After being thrown into an orphanage by his parents, the implications of his troubled upbringing can be dissected by how poorly he had treated the other kids there; whether he was lashing out due to his frustrations over his situation or he learned this behavior from his parents beforehand remains unclear.
His behavior hadn't improved in the slightest when Chairman Rose took him in and later on endorsed him personally; giving him a more posh and arrogant look at life as he dragged everyone around him down- including Hop. In spite of his destructive and toxic attitude, he did appreciate Rose and...truly saw him as a father figure.
Yet Bede was only seen as a means to an end by the Chairman, and a contestant for his attention by his assistant.
After being given the task to vandalize the mural on Stow-in-Side with Rose's signature Pokemon, Bede, assuming that it was a command given by Rose, did exactly what he had been told- not realizing that it was a set-up by Oleana. Rose, seeing that damage that had been done, not only revoked his sponsorship, but flat-out disowned Bede after what he had done; leaving him to rot once more.
Thankfully, his darkened heart and...choice in fashion had caught the eye of a wiser soul before he could spiral any further. An older being who had already experienced all that life was willing to throw at her and is more than willing to guide him through the right path.

Alright, while I'm agonizing over midterms and shit, here's some PMMM x PKMN incorrect quotes featuring some protag and rival witches before I take a nap-
--
Just so we're clear;
Deus ex Machina = Trainer Red
Diabolo ex Nihilo = Trainer Blue
Kealamauloa Kinimaka = Hau
Helios = Elio
Sayf al-Muharib = Hop
Boudicca = Gloria
Xx_C4SSI0PEI4_xX = Penny
Also, Boudicca is the creation of @bluethepearldiver; pls send love their way-

More of a question to the moderator than anything; which witch card are you most proud of? And which are you most "ashamed" of, let's say?
I'm actually surprised by this question- and not in a bad way! I just didn't think anyone would be interested by how I truly think of what I make and write ^^; It's kinda heartwarming, honestly!
Aside from my essays (and, in that regards, it's Sayf al-Muharib aka. Hop, straight up. Honestly, Kealamauloa Kinimaka (Hau) needs a few tweaks, but it's decent so far); that title has to go to Gold-Tree; aka Aya Drevis. I had her existing Snow White motifs in mind while writing it down and looking for her and her familiars' names- plus, I have to credit Mod Charlotte for the Will o' the Wisps idea there! The runner-ups are Jamaluddin - Kaveh from Genshin Impact - and Jean-Louis Careme - Mallow's dad/Abe from the Pokemon anime -.
As for the witch cards I am ashamed of, look no further than Bianchi- aka, Sunny from Omori. I adore how his familiars turned out, esp since I had an amazing friend help me a lot with their names, but I should have worked on his labyrinth and the type of witch he is more. Gravmaskin Goran (Herobrine) is...fine, if not painfully average; I needed to add in more detail to his labyrinth and card. Same goes for Liang-Hui (Marcy from Amphibia).

If the crossover witches I made/am currently making were to ever interact with one another, then this would be Asclepius (Medic) to both Sayf al-Muharib (Hop) and ʻO Kekahi Lā ʻŌpua (Hau)
