I would like to ask you all of the pride questions from that one post.

Dammit Steve XD

Gender and pronouns? Female and she/her are fine, as far as i know i’m cis. i don’t care if you call me dude, though. Dude can be anyone.

Romantic orientation? i use demi-whatromantic, with demiromantic as the microlabel. Most people know whatromantic as quoiromantic or quoi. i think what/quoi is typically known as a microlabel, but i relate to that more and feel it describes me more compared to demi which is why i focus more on that aspect.

Sexual orientation? In lamest terms? Asexual. In my terms? Stereotypical ace. In specific terms? S-x repulsed asexual.

Past labels you’ve used? i didn’t use anything before discovering asexuality because naive and oblivious, as far as i know. Before demi-whatromantic i briefly used demiromantic as a placeholder even though that didn’t totally feel right on its own.

How long have you been using your current labels? Asexual since late October 2017 and officially, or i guess out, since February 2018. Demi-whatromantic i think has been for maybe 6ish months now?

What made you pick your name? i had no say in my name lol. I haven’t changed it at all

What names have you gone by previously? Unless nicknames count for anything, just my regular boring name.

What names have you considered using? i’ve only ever considered using other names for me as a Pokemon trainer in the games which is obviously not the same. But, for the record, every time i start a game using the male trainer i’d use the name Larry.

Do you like your flag(s)? i don’t focus on the demiromantic flag as much, only because i feel less of the connection to compared to ace and what. The asexual flag has definitely given me a new appreciation for purple, but as a former art student i’ve been taught that black is typically the absence or color and white encompasses all the colors. so i do wish the ace flag had more colors just so i can stop referring to purple as the “only” color. i definitely appreciate and like the look of the whatromantic flag, but i don’t think as many people are aware of what it looks like or that it even exists. i especially love the shade of blue used in it.

Favorite flag(s) visually? Gonna be unoriginal and say the gay pride flag just because i love rainbows.

Favorite colors? Blue has always been a favorite of mine, and i used to gravitate mostly towards lighter shades of purple but now i just include purple in general.

Favorite animals? Puppies, kitties, bunnies, hamsters, monkeys, ponies.... Actually, probably best just to say adorable fluffy animals.

Favorite things about being LGBT+? i like having an explanation for being me. i don’t look my age to begin with and i definitely don’t act like it. So people assuming there’s something wrong with me mentally because of it, or wanting to avoid me in general.... i know people have their feelings about stereotypes and a lot of times it is negative, but for me knowing that a stereotypical ace basically describes who i am, it feels reassuring. And i like knowing that i don’t have to act or think or do completely of what’s expected of me because in a heteronormative world, being LGBT+ completely flips that around. Even if to me, it doesn’t always feel like i have a place because i don’t know many queer people and i don’t get involved in things in general, somewhere in my mind i know that there’s a place for me.

Are you dysphoric? Not that i know of.

Are you religious? Nope. i don’t fast, i don’t keep kosher, i don’t go to temple, i never went to Hebrew school.... But it doesn’t make me any less connected to my religion and, as selfish as it sounds, i still wanna make a point of it and remind people, hey us Jews exist, too!

Are you questioning your identity? Some parts of it i do question sometimes, mostly in terms of aesthetic attraction. But i fluctuate with including that attraction in my identity. And i do question how much, if at all it does or could play a part in my romantic attraction.

Are you in a relationship? Haha, funny. Nope.

Are you out of the closet IRL? For the most part, yes. It’s primarily in terms of saying i’m asexual or just queer, but part of that depends who i’m talking to, if or when it comes up in conversation, and how comfortable i feel talking to people about it.

Is your family supportive? i honestly don’t know if my extended family knows, even though i do post pride related things on my Instagram which some of them do follow and i have posted about it there. But, as annoyed as my mom can get with my ace jokes or comments sometimes, she accepts me for who i am and supports me, and has, probably before even knowing the term asexual existed, had an assumption a typical relationship happening for me was slim. And i know without a doubt that if my dad was still around he would definitely be supportive of me and not cared what i identified as, what i looked like, who i liked or didn’t like, or anything like that.

Favorite LGBT+ celebrity or historical figure? Neil Patrick Harris is definitely one of them, and i think another favorite is probably Demi Lovato.

Favorite LGBT+ couple IRL? Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka. i love NPH and the family that he and David have are just the most precious things ever! Plus the way they go all out for Halloween every year? HELL. YES.

Favorite LGBT+ canon character? First one that comes to mind is Asami from Legend of Korra. Because Asami. Another one is Cyrus Goodman from Andi Mack. i loved watching his journey on the show and also knowing that there are kids who were watching Disney Channel that could not only relate to and look up to him as a queer character but also as a queer Jewish character. Plus he was just the most precious character and i just wanted to hug him!

Favorite LGBT+ canon fictional couple? Korra and Asami from Legend of Korra; Stef and Lena from The Fosters; Kat and Adena from The Bold Type.

Some characters you headcanon as LGBT+? Elsa and Honeymaren from Frozen 2. Don’t get me started, i will NEVER shut up. I’m going down with that ship.

Some LGBT+ pairings you ship? i know i already said Kat and Adena from the Bold Type. As of the current season they are - spoiler - not together and have not been done the justice to them as characters or their relationship. I continue to ship them, i love the chemistry the actors always have between them and how believable it is for their characters, and i’m just anxiously waiting for the day when they can hopefully FINALLY get back together.

Any celebrity crushes? If by crushes you mean celebrities i admire, look up to, think are cute, and would probably watch almost any show or movie if they were in it? Zendaya. The same has also applied to Corbin Bleu.

Any fictional crushes? As long as the same rule applies to the previous question and also includes being obsessed yet completely in control of that obsession and that character is also a muse for creativity? Elsa.

A trope you dislike about your identity? Probably that it’s a phase or i just haven’t met the right person yet. It took me probably too long to know let alone even understand why i didn’t think so much of romance or relationships and why i was never looking for or really wanting an actual relationship. For the most part, that’s been my whole life so to say my whole life is just some kind of phase or imply that i’m living it wrong? Just. No.

A trope about your identity that applies to you? Maybe this falls more under the stereotypical asexual label, but that aces can be very childlike. i’ve always been a kid at heart, i never really acted like my age, and yeah i can be really naive or clueless about a lot of things.

Something you wish people understood about your identity? Probably just that people understood it’s an actual identity. It’s not a choice, it’s not a phase. It’s not a label someone created just to be able to fit in somewhere or for sh-ts and giggles. It’s an actual, legitimate, real identity.

Something you dislike about being LGBT+? I feel like i can’t fully comment on it because sometimes i don’t fully feel LGBT+. Not having more than a couple of friends who identify as queer, not actively getting involved in the community or really wanting to be around people in general...i can only say what i dislike based on what i’ve seen online. And what i don’t like is that the LGBT+ community is supposed to be that - a community. It’s supposed to be a place where we can all relate to each other somehow, support each other and rely on each other. It’s supposed to be a place where, regardless of what label or how many labels we use, if we’re not straight it’s our place. We belong. But people still find a way to want to kick people out or treat people badly just because they don’t understand or agree on the label. Or maybe they don’t like or understand why someone chose a certain label or doesn’t have one at all or just uses queer. People still find a way to exclude and ignore and that’s not fair at all.

If you’re not cis, do you want HRT and/or surgery?

If you’re not straight, who was your first same-gender crush? Are we still going by either of my crush definitions from earlier....?

Do you align with any gay subcategories? (Butch/femme, bear/twink, etc.) Not that i know of. I don’t think i even know a lot, or maybe any of the subcategories at all besides those mentioned.

Do you have any LGBT+ idols? Elton John is the one that comes to mind. Knowing the life he had, the addictions he struggled with and ultimately overcame, becoming an activist and philanthropist especially for HIV/AIDS, growing up on his music... He dealt with a lot and has gone through so much but he’s come out so much stronger and has not only had a successful career but has also tried to do his part to help others for a cause that he believes in.

Do you own pride merch? Would you like to? A pride hat, 2 pride scarves, a few pride pins, an asexual lanyard.... i would definitely like to have a t-shirt with an ace pun at it at some point, though.

Do you have a type in partners? Probably water. Or were you talking about actual human partners and not Pokemon partners in the games?

Do you have a type in friends? i actually don’t think i chose any of my friends. As far as i can think of, all of the friends i do have came into my life kind of by accident or by chance and they’re the ones who have stuck around. i do think most of my friends though have senses of humors and are loyal, although the closest ones are definitely WAY more levelheaded than i am!

In the Mines

Josef had just entered the mines when he stopped something moving in a dark corner to the side.The figure in question was dropping a treasure chest.”Hello,who’s there?”he called out.The figure,startled, quickly whirled around to see who had spotted him.”Oh! Uhm...hello. I didn’t expect there to be anyone else in the mines”

“Well,I wasn’t either,so we’ve both gotten a surprised” Josef giggles a bit.”But anywho,who are you mister? And uhm,could you come out of the dark please?”

The figure paused for a moment,deciding if he should really reveal himself to his meowstic he just met.He does seem friendly,so I guess it wouldn’t matter,he thought.He steps out of the shadows.The figure in question was wearing a dark cloak with a hood;the only physical trait that was noticable was his orange eyes.”You may refer to me as Shadow.And you are?”

“Josef Espa.”he said,and then added that with a proud proclaim,”Pokemon Adventurer Extraordinaire! In Training”

“Well uhm..you sure have the charisma for it,”Shadow said awkwardly.”So you plan on exploring these caves in hopes of treasure,is that right?”

“Mhmm,yes I am!”Josef said,adding in a wink and a smile.”

“And you plan on doing that...without any weapons?”

Josef’s smile turns into one of awkwardness at Shadow’s question.He scratches his head a bit before saying,”Well uh,no.I didn’t bring any weapons because I wasn’t really expecting any threats in here.And if I was,the PokeMart didn’t have any weapons anyway.”

“Do you even know how to handle a weapon?”

Josef thought a bit before answering.”Welllll,I used to like swinging a stick around like a sword and pretend I was the most powerful swordsman in the world.And I did read a few books about swordplay.Does that count?”

“Well,you’ve had read about it,and you do attempt to emulate some techniques,so….possibly? Anyway,you’ll need something to defend yourself before you just rush in there.”He points to the chest that he placed just before this conversation even started.”Open that chest and see what you’ll find in there.”

Josef’s eyes widen when he said this.”Oh boy,my first treasure chest to open!”Waiting no time,he runs up to the chest and prys it open.Inside,there was a sheath for a sword with a leather strap attached,and the actual sword beside it.”

“Wow,a steel sword AND a sheath? Thanks Mr Shadow! Uhm,do I have to pa-”

Shadow quickly picked up what he was going to say.”Oh no no no,these are for free.I’m just glad to help everyone however I can.”

“Oh.Thank you again”Josef said with a smile. He proceeds to sling the sheath on his shoulder,and he took up the sword.The moment he did this,the PokeWatch suddenly spouted;

Steel Sword

“A steel sword that Shadow granted to you.It’s not the most exciting of weapons,but it’ll get the job done”

“Uhmm,well thanks PokeWatch for the description,I guess?”Josef said before sheathing his newly acquired blade.

“Seems your PokeWatch has sensed you love for flavor text.”Shadow snarked.

“Oh har har.It is kinda cool thou”

“Now then,I’ll be accompanying you.As I said before,there might be some threats here,and you lack actual combat experience.”

Again,the PokeWatch chimes in.

Shadow has joined Josef’s party!

“I really have to get used to that”Josef said

“I’ll uhm,just be following close behind.”

“Alright! Let’s get this adventure started!”Josef runs off deeper into the mines,with Shadow trying to keep up.

-About a hour into the mines…

The mines turned out to be a lot deeper than the duo thought.Unfortunately there wasn’t a minecart at the entrance they could’ve used.It would’ve make this adventure a lot less tedious.In the meanwhile,Josef started asking Shadow some questions to past the time.

“So uhm,what exactly are you Shadow?”

“I’m a Marshadow,a genderless species that is Dark/Fighting type”

“Mar...shadow? I’ve never heard and or seen a Marshadow before.”

“Honestly I can’t blame you.Us Marshadows aren’t really the most….speakitive to other mons.In fact you’re one of the few people I’ve ever spoken to,now that I think about it.”

“Well,why don’t you?”

“It’s complicated”

Josef,noticing that he may not get an answer if he’d try to press the matter,deciding to ask something else.”Soo,how did you summon that chest out of nowhere? Was it like your Unique Arts in action?”he said,an ounce of excitement in his voice

“Yes it was.I like to call them…..Spectral Arts. They allow me to-”

“Summon different objects with the power of shadows?”

Shadow was instantly taken aback at how quickly Josef was able to guess at the useage of his Spectral Arts.”Huh,you managed to guess pretty quickly just from seeing me summon a chest.”

“Well,it’s a requirement for an adventurer like me to have strong observation skills.”Josef proclaimed proudly.”I can also guess that you’re most likely dropping these chests to help people somehow.”

“Hmm...not bad.But can you guess how many regions I’ve placed these in?”

“Uhmm….no”

“I’ve placed them in every single region excluding here,in the Kalos region.”

Josef was surprised beyond any reasonable measure at this claim.”That...is…..awesome! How did you manage to do all that? How did you travel to each region? How did-”

Shadow put a finger to Josef’s lips.”Please.All of your questions will be answered in due time Josef,but please save them until we’ve finished with this little adventure,ok?”

Josef simply nods in agreement.

“Good.Now let’s continue.”Shadow keeps walking.

It was a little while later before the two started hearing a voice a little more into the cave,and some sounds of some rocks being thrown to the side.

“Oh for the love of Arceus,just how many more rocks do I have to go through before I hit the jackpot?”the voice groaned.

Josef stopped right there.”Hey,I think it was that lopunny I heard those mons at the tarven mentioned he was gonna stop by here.Let’s go meet him!.”Josef runs off,with Shadow on his heels.

----------

It wasn’t long before they reached where the lopunny was.He was still moving some rocks around,and by the looks of things,seems to be doing some good progress.Appearance wise,the lopunny looked….rather tough,not really something you’ll expect from a species that is known for looking rather feminine,regardless of gender.His face screams of a man who has been in many a battle in his life,and he had a muscular physique to complement that. He was wearing only four things: a pair of jeans,a Muscle Band,fingerless gloves,and of course, a PokeWatch,his being a light brown.Noticing the duo,he turns around, and speaking in an equally tough voice,said:

“What the? Why’s a kid and some shady dark type doing ‘ere?”

Josef,seeing a chance to be all big with his introduction,replied with:

“I am Josef,Adventurer Extraordinaire,and this is my newfound partner,Shadow!We’ve heard word that there is spoils to be found in this cave,and we’re here to check it out!

“Greetings”Shadow said.

The lopunny didn’t know what he should do.For all he knows,this meowstic is just some kid who figured he’ll play adventurer in a mine,and this Shadow guy might’ve tricked him into going deeper for some...purpose.He wasn’t the best at guessing,his fote was more on punchin’ and the like.Though,they don’t look like very bad folk.Feeling that he MIGHT regret this,he replied:

“Ok then,”Josef,Adventurer Extraordinaire,maybe you and your shady friend can help me out with these ‘ere rocks.That is,if you got the upper body strength for it.”

“Of course we got the upper body strength for it,right Shadow?”Josef said,flexing his arms,in an attempt to look as tough as the lopunny.

“Uhhh...yes” Shadow replied with an ounce of akwardness,doing a flex as well.

The lopunny attempted not to laugh at this.”Ok kid,you and your friend gots the guts,I’ll give ya that.Enough chit-chat,let’s get this rockcade out of the way!”

“Yes sir,Mr Lopunny sir!”

“The names Carson O’ Neal to you”

---------

After a little more rock removing,the trio have finally found the “glow coming from the cracks.” Problem is,there was a wall that was right in front of them,oozing the glow that was coming from the cracks in it.

“Oh great,’nother wall.”Carson groaned.”Nothin’ I can’t handle thou,just gonna give it the ol’super powered right fist. You two might wanna stand back.”

Without another word,Shadow and Josef stand back to let Carson do his business.

Carson procceds to close his right hand into a fist,and circle it around and around till energy starts gathering into it.A few seconds of doing this,he throws a punch at the wall,all while calling out:

“Max….Hammer!!!”

And with just that one punch,the wall was no more.

“Wow! He took out that wall like it was nothing!”Josef exclaimed.

“That’s just the tip of the rocks when it comes to me,”Carson said with a cocky grin as he walks into the room,with Josef and Shadow following.The moment they did,they stopped dead in their tracks at what meets their eyes.”Oh Arceus...what the hell is that!?”

“I-I don’t know.”Shadow stammers.

Josef just looks up in utter bewilderment.

The thing that meets their eyes….is a shadowly..something or other trapped in a giant ball that looks like it was made with glass,suspended in midair.

(Carson and Shadow’s bios will be added later.)

(Till next time)
