BotW/TotK men as dads

i have baby fever that won't go away

anyway, here's a... something

enjoy <3

Link

oh it’s gonna be wild

most rambunctious child (including Rivan’s)

sweet and caring

but overall, CHAOTIC

will teach his child literally everything he knows

not many words are spoken, but there’s so much love

sign language is a big thing for sure

hugs galore

will defend his child as if his life depended on it

Sidon (i have so many for Sidon, so only adding a little bit here)

so confident

yet so scared

lots of learning

gentle

the love in the household is UNREAL

takes his kid everywhere Mipha took him

the fun is never ending

Bazz

so much unlearning

scared he’s not giving his child enough attention

wants to spend all of his time with them

think’s he’s not good enough of a father

doesn’t know how to have deep; meaningful conversations

doesn’t want to be like his own father

loves and cares SO deeply

once he gets past all the heavy stuff, he’s the best dad a kid could have

Rivan

already a dad, and a good one at that

literally so on top of his game

others cannot compare

takes his kid to work and shows them how cool everyone is

“Bazz is a little on edge because you’re here, but we won’t worry about that.”

the fun dad

Dunma babysits sometimes to give Rivan a break

but he ends up not going anywhere because he loves his little family THAT much

silly af

an actual dilf

perfect father

100000/10

Ledo

so gentle

so kind

will literally gift his kid rocks that look cool

teaches them everything Dento taught him

would probably ask Dento to babysit

has the most well behaved child out of anyone on this list

another apprentice in the making

would hand-make his child toys

Revali

asshole stepdad energy to start with

lots of unlearning

lots of re-learning

scared shitless

once he eventually realizes his actions have consequences, he’ll own up to his mistakes

ends up being a cool dad

“don’t talk to me or my son ever again” energy

takes his child to the flight range everyday

“You’re the best, and don’t forget it.”

Teba

already a dad, and a cool one

Tulin is such a good brother (but man is he a little shit sometimes)

the kids would go to the flight range and Teba would let them go by themselves

not like he has a village to run or anything…

a little more strict than the others on this list, but it’s out of love and safety

trusts Tulin to take care of his younger sibling

goes with both of them to the flight range once every two weeks to watch what they’ve been working on

wants the best for his kids

but doesn’t want to get in the way of their fun

Daruk

a cool dad

wise

also fun

would be the one to take his child to the skatepark

Goron City better watch out, because these two are fly af

funny dad jokes

would call his kid ‘kiddo’ unironically

“kiddo goro”

Yunobo

i cannot see this one as a dad

more like the distant uncle

but he’d be so sweet

and so caring

so afraid he’d fuck up

needs constant reassurance

gentle af

takes things too personally

Tauro

THE cool dad

dilf energy for sure

would take his kid to research the Zonai ruins

and he’d probably end up losing them 30% of the time

don’t worry, they know where they are

uses his research and findings for teaching his child

these two would be the most knowledgable people in Hyrule 

Rauru

the wise one

and SO chill

and helpful af

only takes part in chaos if it’s the fun kind

will shut down ANY ‘funny business’

defends his child with his life

together they pick flowers for Sonia

the love is unmatched

and the surprises are never ending

Introduction

((OOC Information Under The Cut))

Hello,

I am Jonathan Sims, The Archivist. I, along with my partner Martin, fell into the world of Pokemon in March. We have been staying with Hop, Professor Sonia's apprentice, since then. Martin has been learning to care for Pokemon by helping Hop's mother, and I have taken a position as Professor Sonia's assistant.

When we are not busy with work, we engage in another kind of work. We take people's Statements. "Statements of what," you may ask. Statements of supernatural, or otherwise esoteric, experiences in their lives. I must make it clear that not every statement is true. However, the Statements which are true are very important indeed. It is our duty to search them out and document them.

If you have experienced a frightening occurrence having to do with the following themes, I encourage you to submit a Statement.

-The fear of being hunted, the feeling that you must give chase, that you must pursue and kill something or someone

-The fear of senseless violence, of being murdered, tortured, or abused

-The fear of space, the sea, the sky, or heights. The fear that you are just one person in a sea of billions, that you are so infinitely small that you can't possibly matter

-The fear that you are alone, that you will die alone, that no one will understand you, isolation

-The fear of losing things that you care about, the fear of being burned alive, the fear of fire, the fear of losing out

-The fear of being buried alive, claustrophobia, the fear of drowning

-The fear of being loved, the fear of toxic love, abusive love, and the like. The fear of insects, trypophobia, fear of decay and fungus.

-The fear of extinction, the fear of nuclear fallout, the fear of pollution, of global warming, of any of the ways humanity might be bringing the world to an end, the fear that we will end ourselves slowly by destroying the world.

These are not rigid categories. As you may have noticed, many fears can be applied to several of these descriptions. If you have experienced a supernatural or otherwise unexplainable event that falls under one or more of these groups, please submit a Statement.

Hey there! I'm Turtle. I'm a 24 year old woman who loves The Magnus Archives and Pokemon. This blog is based on a fanfiction that I'm writing. You can read it here.

SO uh... Remember that time I came up with all those Warrior Cat versions of the Danganronpa cast? Well guess who's been chronically addicted to playing Clangen for the last month.

[boyfrillish]

howdy! for a drabble prompt how about something like, victor/hop where one has to be fiercely protective of the other? (say, a wild pokemon encounter gets out of hand or...)

Victor’s walking toward Challenge Road when it happens. He knows there are plenty of wild Pokémon happy to attack passersby during any weather, yet he’s still caught off-guard when a Bisharp charges at him from behind.

The battle cry rings in his ears and when he turns around, he’s met with sharp blades ready to strike. He can barely shout a command to Sylveon or switch to a different Pokémon. The blow of the attack throws him right into the stairs and he yelps as the edges of the steps dig into his back.

He’s frozen in place as the blade points threateningly at his face.

But that’s when fear melts into a blend of admiration and worry alike.

“Get away from him!” an oh-so-familiar voice yells.

And Victor watches as Hop charges directly into the wild Bisharp, hitting it with his own body to knock it aside, and Dubwool eagerly helping with its Double-Edge.

Hop stands in front of Victor like a shield, Pokéball in hand to switch out. “Go, Cinderace! Hit it with your Pyro Ball!”

With the type advantage on his side, he fends off the wild Bisharp with ease. Though rather than celebrate the win, he rushes to kneel next to Victor.

Grim determination — an expression that’s burned into Victor’s mind ever since their battle at the Champion Cup — makes way for worried frown. “Victor! It didn’t cut you, did it? Let me check you for injuries!”

But the only response Victor can think of is to grab Hop by the collar of his jacket and shout, “You idiot! What were you thinking?!”

“I just saved your butt!” Hop shouts right back. “And you’re probably hurt, so let me tend to you already!”

Victor really wants to argue — because really! What was he thinking? — but his body has to betray him by wincing in pain. “Ugh, fine.”

He slips out of his dojo jacket and loosens the zipper of his binder for ease of breath, at the same time allowing Hop to lift his shirt to examine his back for any obvious signs of injury and patch up the scratches on his arms and legs.

Victor is mad. He really is. But the Butterfree that go wild in his belly again at Hop’s gentle, caring touch make it tough to stay mad. And, okay, maybe Hop going reckless protector mode for him made him fall in love even more than he already was.

Still, though… he’s miffed. Feelings don’t always make sense.

Finally, Hop is satisfied with his work and he fixes Victor’s t-shirt before putting away the first aid kit. Softly, he says, “I did the best I could, but I’m just a Professor’s apprentice, not a Doctor. So you should go back to the Dojo and have someone check you more thoroughly as soon as possible.”

Victor groans. “But I have training to do!”

“Nuh uh, training can wait. Health is more important,” Hop argues. “You’re the Champion of Galar, it’s no good if you end up out of commission because you thought you could tough it out.”

“If health is so important, then why did you charge in like that? You could’ve got hurt!”

“I didn’t think, okay?” Hop says. “I saw that Bisharp attacking you and heard your cry and all I knew was I had to make sure you’re safe. There was no time to think before acting.”

“You keep doing that, Hop. Charging ahead recklessly and rushing off before I have a chance to say something or help you. It can get a bit frustrating, you know?” Victor says. Softly, he adds, “I worry about you and I don't want you to get yourself hurt for my sake. I want you to be safe, too.”

“Sorry about that, Victor,” Hop says. “Sonia reproached me for that too, but I can’t help it sometimes. Especially when something or someone I really care about is in danger.”

“Just, promise you’ll be careful, okay? Or else I’ll charge in and protect you, because I really care about you too.”

A smile blooms on Hop’s face as he squeezes Victor’s hand in affirmation of the promise. “Heh heh, it makes me really happy we always have each other’s back.”

Victor feels like a firework lights up in his heart.

He smiles back. “Me too.”

DGR GBD: They learn you're a witch

Taglist:

If you want to be added to the taglist for whenever I post, you can comment here on the original post !

Frightfest ‘22 Masterlist

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu

"Yeah right."

He doesn't believe you at all. He's never seen you use any magic and you don't look like a witch. Besides, why would you claim one anyways? You know that they don't exist right? However, he would have no choice but to believe you when you cause him to float in mid-air. And you weren't going to let him down until he apologized.

Gundham Tanaka

He knew there was something about you that matched his aura. Not to mention the Dark Devas took almost an immediate liking to you. Why wouldn't they? You were a powerful being after all. He's just glad that you decided to come out of hiding to show him your true power. Hopefully you would have no objections to exchanging knowledge of magic with him.

Hajime Hinata

Is that your ultimate talent? Yes and no? Interesting. He's shocked when you tell him that you don't just let anyone know. You don't want to put yourself in any danger for revealing that you're a witch. But you trust him, and he would never break that trust.

Ibuki Mioda

You're a witch? A bad one or a good one? Nah, you couldn't be a bad witch. Hello? You're like her best friend/partner, and you didn't have a single bad bone in your body. She's super hyped about seeing you use your magic!

Kazuichi Soda

"Eh? Witches really exist!?"

Kazuichi isn't going to take you seriously at first. He would think it's a joke until you use your magic to summon all the pillows in the house. Next thing he knows he's getting pummeled over and over by fluffy pillows. Okay, he believes you. Please call off your pillow army.

Mahiru Koizumi

At first she'd dismiss it when you first tell her that you were a witch. Surely witches weren't real, right? But then when you started showing her real magic, she would change her tune. Honestly it was fascinating to see you enchanting items and cleaning appliances to clean the room on their own. And the way that your hands glow when you do magic was so beautiful. Do you mind if she takes a few pictures? Actually, it would be great for Halloween pictures.

Nagito Komaeda

A witch? That's certainly unique. He's never met one before. Would he be a little suspicious of you now that he knows? No. He has never gotten a bad vibe from you before. So why would he get it now? And when he sees your magic, he's just so amazed. Of course you were so talented, Y/N! You were an ultimate after all.

Sonia Nevermind

"You're a witch? That's so cool!"

She would be so invested in the knowledge of you being a witch. She would have lots of questions for you. So please answer them honestly. She would also ask you to show her some of your magic. Wait! Could you teach her how to be a witch? Hopefully you wouldn't mind a princess as your apprentice.

Little TOTK rant

totk feels like an abandonment of everything they built in botw because the lack of sheikah tech and their influence of sealing Ganondorf away (bc a 10,000 year old hand could totally hold back a demon king for 10,000 years alone... I'm not buying it)

Like please PLEASE have more sheikah influence, it would not be just cool, but it would make more sense with the overall story of learning from ancestors and learning from mistakes that they had made to secure the future of Hyrule and its people from the imminent fate Ganondorf wants on the kingdom.

Totk should be more stressful than botw because of their rebuilding, and loosing their progress, because of that false security that they had defeated calamity ganon and sealed the darkness. The kingdom should be poisoned by the gloom, there is no sense of urgency in this game unlike botw where you were running around trying to remember what Link lost and how everything went down and trying to take back the divine beasts to secure the four regions safety. (Well that is how I feel in my case)

there are so many mysteries behind JUST the sheikah that haven't been answered, and nentindo just stirred up more of confusion with the creation of the Zonai.

I really want to see the influence the zonai had on the Sheikah, and when did the sheikah exist? Before or after the in prisoning war? Or after when the ancient hero was born? Why not have sheikah apprentice underneath the teaching of the Zonai to better improve the properties of ancient magic.

And Zelda suddenly having TIME POWERS, excuse me? I always thought she was the princess of light, to seal away the darkness, but oops nope she has time powers now. And her being sent back in time is a another confusing ordeal for me.

Like couldn't Sonia pulled Zelda back in time, to respond to Rauru's stone being weird in the past? And discovered the mysterious past another way? Like being a researcher underneath Mineru and eventually being discovered by Sonia and Rauru. (I would also love seeing Zelda geek out I WOULD PASS AWAY PEACEFULLY). And a game play segment with Zelda in the past OMG.

And again with Zelda's sacrifice with turning into the Light Dragon? Which I believe she should be the time dragon bc consistency. I love the fact that Zelda sacrifices herself to get back to Link. Great story telling point in my opinion, but the way it was brought to the audience was strange to me at least.

But the lack of the built up story from botw makes me feel empty when playing totk. I loved the ideas put into it, but in my opinion it was poorly done. But everyone has their own opinions so no judging coming from me if you enjoyed totk.

Are you friends with people from other classes?

Yeah totally!! I get along with most people, but I think my best friends would be Ibuki Mioda and Kaede Akamatsu! Ibuki is the Ultimate Musician, and Kaede is the Ultimate Pianist! - 🌟

Kinda? I usually keep to my class, but recently I’ve been getting close to this gal named Tsumugi Shirogane. She’s the Ultimate Cosplayer, and she makes all of her outfits herself! - 💖

The Ultimate Child Caregiver, Maki Harukawa, is a friend of mine. - 🐇

Oh yeah! I’m friends with Ibuki, and this mechanic named Kazuichi Souda! - 🎸

Well, I sometimes talk to Chiaki Nanami! She’s the Ultimate Gamer, so we have a lot to talk about. She’s even played a few of the games I developed!! - 👾

Yeah, me and Kuzuryuu are pretty tight. There’s also this guy named Kokichi Ouma that keeps trailing behind me. Says he’s the “Ultimate Supreme Leader.” Bunch of bullshit if you ask me. - 💎

I frequently find myself having conversations with Gundham Tanaka and Kirumi Tojo! They are the Ultimate Breeder, and the Ultimate Maid respectively! - 🎖️

Ms. Tsumugi is one of my closest personal friends! - 📖

Her Highness Sonia Nevermind comes over for tea quite often! - 👑

Tenko Chabashira, the Ultimate Aikido Master, and Maki Harukawa frequent the school gym at the same time I train with Hina. They are both passionate martial artists, and quite delightful to talk with. - 🌸

Me and Nanami play games together sometimes! I also really like hanging out with Rantaro Amami, the Ultimate Adventurer! - 🍀

I enjoy spending time with Shuichi Saihara. He is the Ultimate Detective’s Apprentice. - 🔎

I don’t even have friends in this class. - 💰

Let’s see… we’ve got Gundham Tanaka, for one. There’s also Angie Yonaga, the Ultimate Artist. And of course we’ve got Himiko Yumeno, the Ultimate Mage! All three of them can do some pretty awesome stuff with magic! - ⏳

Oh! Tenko and Maki are awesome to hang out with!! I also sometimes talk to Ryoma Hoshi, the Ultimate Tennis Pro!!! - 🫧

Nevermind keeps talking to me for reasons I can’t comprehend. That, and her girlfriend, Akane Owari. She’s the Ultimate Gymnast. - 🖋️

[aevyk-ing]

Finally watched Wish...

And yes, it's bad. So here we go! (pun intended)

-I really don't get all that about wishes being easily crushed. I mean, yeah, it's foreshadowing, but I know a thing or two about wishes that didn't come true (most of us do) and there are different kinds of wishes and most of them aren't crushed in our very eyes (except if you're surrounded by awful people).

-Giving Magnífico that backstory doesn't mean anything in the end. We don't have enough information and he's not even redeemed.

-Search for "Mediterranean islands" in Google. Do they look like that? No? Okay, move on.

-The abuelo looks way too good for being 100. Search for "100 years people".

-Valentino is not talking yet and I already want him to shut up.

-Sakina doesn't know anything about her daughter's life. Come on, apparently she has a job. Wait, she has a job?

-There's been too much exposition in this few minutes my head hurts. First narration, then talking, now a song... She doesn't even need to be a tour guide... for five people.

-Somebody get this girl some camomile tea.

-Again with that wish stuff. I mean, some wishes you can pursue yourself, others would need a miracle. It makes no sense to wish for your purpose to come true (like Simon, we'll get to that later) when you can just do it! It's like daydreaming for your life to change while you do nothing! Yeah, I'm with Tiana here. You need to work hard to make your wish come true.

-The music sounds Andalusian. But just in this one song. And it doesn't match the background. BTW, I only liked the What I know now, even though it's too long.

-I like Dahlia way more than Asha. She's smart, calm and we know more about her. But still, she doesn't warn her friend with allergies that he can't eat the cookies... or smell them.

-And every apprentice has their wish and their family's wishes granted? Why? Also, what happened to the last one?

-I quite like Bazeema. Grumpy is just realistic. And that Dopey is just Fred from Big Hero 6. And Simon... he's there moping so we feel sad for him, but then he betrays Asha for no reason (yeah, they try to explain but it makes no sense).

-Asha has an actual, modern interview and the Queen herself fetches her because she has nothing else to do (like ruling a kingdom) and there are no servants in this castle.

-Magnífico has his bathroom break just before Asha's interview so he can make a grand... I mean, an entrance.

-Also, everything has been exposition (even that notebook) so far.

-Sharing your sad backstory so you'll be hired. "Oh, you have a sad backstory too, you're hired!" No, wait, they're singing. Why are they singing?

-Magnífico plays Ariel as Asha is more focused on finding Sabino's wish so she can trick Magnífico into granting it because they're bonding.

-So yeah, Asha looks desperate and Magnífico gets angry and dumps even more exposition over her. But because what he was saying made sense and Asha was looking like she only wanted that job to make her abuelo's wish come true, they made Magnífico angry so he looks like the bad one.

-Magnífico is so thin-skinned he gets angry easily and forgets to keep up appearances.... too soon.

-"Sania". Don't you mean "Sonia"? Oh, yeah, this is not Spain. Also, the person who wants to make the most beautiful dresses has the plainest, greyest clothing ever.

-Asha just tells her abuelo his wish would never be granted. Don't do that! Never do that! Don't break his heart!

-They talk about Magnífico not owning the wishes but... hear me out: the people gave them to him willingly so he can make them come true. And they even forget them! So... they're technically his.

-This Wish is the worst song. The lyrics are bad, the rythm is all over the place and it's too much for just climbing a tree.

-I haven't talked about the animation yet but she looks like plasticine clay. Everything is unfinished and the watercolor effect only pops up from time to time.

-Magnífico thinks a beam of light threatened him. He needs a holiday.

-Everybody is adorkable. The star is also adorkable. It doesn't matter it's creepy, stupid and just stole and destroyed someone's underwear.

-And apparently, it only can make animals (and funghi) talk but it also gives Asha a magic wand. BTW, those mushrooms are creepy (give me the Fantasia ones! (or at least make them look similar)) and I wasn't expecting the squirrel from The Sword in the Stone to talk like that.

-Valentino has no reason to be able to talk. He's insufferable and even makes the Dreamworks face when saying "his voice is so low" (wink-wink). So is this for kids or not?

-Yeah, it is for kids because they had to make the shape of a star (Star looks like a balloon) and they hammer you with the message that everybody is a star like 30 times. "A really simple answer." You've gone crazy, King Magnífico has gone crazy, we're all mad here!

-Also this is like the lesson that should be learnt at the end. But anyway...

-The King and Queen have no chemistry at all. I don't believe they love each other.

-Magnífico just has a tempting book there. I don't think he has never used it. Why does he even have it? Lock it in the dungeons.

-Why is everybody so thin-skinned? Safi acts as if Asha doesn't care about his most precious feelings. She's talking about chickens! Chickens!

-"I made a wish..." "You wished for a chicken musical?" And yes, this is the scene that made me decide I wasn't going to pay for watching this movie. Thank you, I hate it.

-Magnífico is stupid too. Like everybody knows you shouldn't alarm anyone when you don't even know all about the danger. Yes, he wants to look like a hero, but still... them doubting is on you, bud.

-Dahlia waits until she's called a genius to use long words.

-So everybody starts questioning everything, as you do, and Magnífico decides he'll be a tyrant then. He sings a song about his parents being aliens (I got these genes from outer space), song gets interrupted because we don't deserve a villain song and I keep on thinking how Ludmila's song from Bartok the Magnificent did the same thing but better.

-"My heart knows this feeling." Who talks like that? Also, is she dying? Why are they leaving? Asha should tell the Queen the King has gone crazy! You're putting everyone in danger! But it doesn't matter, she leaves Sakina and Sabino there so the strongest 100-year-old on Earth can row their way back... 10 minutes later.

-Why does Magnífico need a staff? He's been doing magic just fine.

-"Asha did this!" "Asha who?" Oh, yeah, they are only like 40 people in this kingdom. And none of them are kids or babies. Now.

-Let me get this straight: you have narcolepsy (or are just tired all the time) and you wish to become a knight? Yeah, I'm sure they'd trust you. So he should wish to have more energy and work his way to become a knight. But hey, doesn't matter because even though Simon is depressing and sad, he's attacked by bunnies! And that's funny! We don't care about the saddest character of all!

-Bazeema has a whole basement for herself because "introverts deserve some space" instead of saying she discovered it because she's an introvert and sometimes needs lonely time. But of course, this is only here so her "friends" can scold her.

-Asha doesn't try to convince anyone else via song because... reasons.

-"It's a lie, lie, lie..." Yeah, we get it.

-Magnífico thinks it's okay to wake up everybody to show them he's angry.

-Giving the clumsiest character the power of magic. Give it to Amaya! She's capable!

-Asha forgets Simon is her friend. Everybody forgets Simon is their friend. Nobody cares about Simon. Cough, cough... Simón.

-"Good evening, Rosas!" "What?" "We can't hear you!"

-Okay, what's Magnífico's plan? Killing them? BTW, he's the most pathetic villain since... nope, he's the most pathetic.

-So first we have a song saying you're a "star", then this. I think this is another tale about female empowerment and how men are bad. Don't believe me? Tell me one male character that shows to be intelligent, caring and that carries the plot. Yeah, Starboy, we needed you.

-Magnífico is hinted to be Queen Grimhilde's mirror when he's stuck in a gem. And he pleads so Amaya would free him when she has no magic... yet. I think.

-Valentino wishes for a mammal utopia when he's been living between humans his whole life and doesn't even have another animal as his friend. BTW, humans are mammals!

-Why do they need a fairy godmother? Why?

-"I know you too well." No, you don't. Asha and Star don't have any relationship. The Star has just been there to be cute and do cute things while Asha was clumsy and did clumsy things.

Overall? Bad. A few interesting things but none of the main characters are likable (Amaya, Dahlia, Bazeema and Simon had some potential), the songs were meh and the style looked unfinished. It's so sad to think this is the 100th anniversary movie but after seeing how lazy Disney has been lately (in movies, I loved the Once upon a studio short), it doesn't surprise me either. Anyway, you can check out my Wish rewrite here and, if you've come this far, thanks for reading and have a good day!

So The pokèmon au!!

It’s set in the Galar region but also across other regions too!

———

Professor Hershel Layton is a Professor of Archeology in Motostoke (Ground/Rock) who studies with Professor Maggie Evermore about the legendaries and how the fossils of pokèmon can help them find more about the past of Unova and other regions.

Luke Triton originally born in Wyndon but now lives with his parent’s in Ballonlea (he’s about 19 in this and is a water/Normal type trainer) Laytons former apprentice follows his own path studying the bond between a pokèmon and trainer by travelling across regions to see how the connection differs in each region.

Lastly Emmy Altava former adventurer now part time photographer in Chirchester, (electric/fighting type trainer) who is investigating the mystery’s of the legendary pokèmon darkarai and cresselia and how they can cause both chaos and destruction for the pokèmon world.

The three are brought back together to solve the mystery of the azaran legacy, and maybe stop a dormant pokèmon from waking up and causing a shit ton of problems for the world.

They meet Desmond Sycamore a (dark/ice type ) professor in Hammerlock who finds a girl frozen in ice with only memories of loosing her pokèmon who is yearning to find it and bring it home.

Which has lead him to think that she knows more about the legendary pokèmon that lays underneath the highest mountain in galar.

He decides that he should take her along with the gang to the small town of Misthaven where the elders know more about the legends.

The gang have to find the many keys that will unlock the history of the Azaran before it is to late and the apocalypse is brought to the world.

And that is how the story begins.

————

Some little headcannons/backstory for this au

Flora is Fairy/steel and at 18 has become one of the most talented mechanics in postwick.

She can build almost anything from robots to full on machines.

Flora was originally from Hammerlock but moved after a terrible thing that happened there.

Luke is from Wyndon in this and grew up with Ariana (ghost type trainer) and the two of them have a healthy rivalry.

She is actually set to become the next ghost gym leader after her father retires.

Claire is Steel/Dragon/psychic and is currently working on her latest project that can help hershel and the gang

She is also juggling wedding planning on the side with Angela (fire) and Randal (ground/dragon)

Anton (ghost/poison ) is one of the last remaining dukes of Galar and his family the herzen’s are the keepers of a very important keys.

Sophia (fairy/ice) lives with their daughter Iris (Ice/poison) hiding the second key in the necklace anton gave her as a symbol of their love.

She ran away from Folsense or Ballonlea just like the game but remains alive (she’s about late 30s early 40s in this)

The Pandora’s box stayed with Anton.

Desmond in this au has a wife she’s alive along with their daughter. The two of them live in wedgehurst.

He doesn’t actually know this due to him thinking that they both died in a tragic accident to do with the Azaran a few years prior in Hammerlock.

Their names are Erica (flying/water) and Nessie (Flying) or ness for short.

Erica is a teacher/mechanic who is hell bent on not talking about the Azaran and what she knows and what it did to her.

Rachel (steel/grass) and Leon (fire/dark) have a extremely tense relationship in this due to Targent and opposing ideals.

But the both love each other very very much and one day want their sons to be reunited with them again.

Janice (normal/fairy) and Malina (ghost/dragon) are in this (I WILL MAKE THEM FIT) they know something about the Azaran but not that much

The two of them actually run a little opera together and tell the tales of the legends

Maggie is actually Sonia’s great great great grandma (she’s actually one of my oc’s for my pokèmon au called order of jirachi) she’s an electric type professor.

She’s one of those who knows a lot more then she lets on about the Azaran, and she tries to hide it because of the repercussions it could cause.

Basically everyone is linked to the Azaran for some reason I don’t know why but I wanted to see how I could connect and weave stories from characters that had never met or weren’t explored!

Let me know if you want more!!!

LoZ: TotK - TotK Novelization Ideas

I'd really like to see a TotK novelization. But it's Zelink. They are living together. They have a twin bed with 2 pillows in the Hateno House & when Link buys the Dreamhouse, they give him a master bedroom with a double bed as his first room.

Also, the dialog is changed so that everyone that you actively met last game, regardless of whether it was via plot or side quest, are all like, "I remember you!" Or something to that effect.

Like, the fact that no one but Symin seems to recognize you despite the fact that you literally live in Hateno is... Ugh!

And in the case of whatever happened when Rauru saved Link that, for whatever reason, seemingly incinerated the clothing on his body, also destroyed his adventurer's bag & everything inside it. Which would include all his pouch upgrades. As such, until he gets to Lookout Landing, he's only really got his pockets to work with.

And then, once he does get to Lookout Landing, maybe Purah notices his lack of bag & is like, "Oh, yeah. You're gonna need a new one of those." And then gives you one! Which would explain why he doesn't have any of his pouch upgrades. Because it's a brand new bag!

And the clothes he gets from caves & stuff? Either the ones he got last game were all incenerated along with Link's old bag & the ones he finds here aren't the same ones he had in the last game, or Misko actually broke into Link & Zelda's house & stole his wardrobe.

---

One other major plothole to address is the complete absence of a Rauru/Sonia child in the flashbacks.

Because Zelda is explicitly stated to be their descendant. Ergo, they had to have had a child before they died.

Otherwise there would be no Zelda.

Just have Sonia be pregnant when Zelda first appears & then the baby is born later.

This erases the inconsistency & there's minimal input from the kid themselves.

Easy fix.

---

Other small things being that Link can make a Sunny dish for the Zonai Research Team member that's been Gloomed near the Chasm near the beginning of the game.

Also, you can show Burmano in the Hyrule Castle dining hall how to make Crunchy Fried Rice & he actually responds. Maybe even use this as a chance to have him ask you to help him rediscover recipes that were lost during the Calamity for the sake of Culinary History. Such as the Mabe Soufflé, Tabantha Bake, & Deya Hot Pot.

Then, when Link borrows the orb from Dalia in Gerudo Town, he either tells her what it's for, thus intriguing her & having her actively become part of Rotana's study & possibly even becoming her apprentice. Or, once the quest is over, Link returns the orb to her because he's polite & it was specified that he borrowed it, meaning that he is expected to bring it back.

Then, there's Pokki. Once Link investigates the sandpit, he informs her that one of the statues sank beneath the sands.

Then, with Perda & Wabbin, they remember that he was the one who helped them to get together at Lover's Pond on Tuft Mountain & Link informs Perda that Wabbin is in jail in the shelter. And she & Aaqlet go down there to visit him.

Also Kas! At least address why Kas isn't there!

Finally, in the scene where Ganondorf kills Sonia, have him hold a damn blade! Not because I dislike Sonia, she's a lovely lady. But because if you're gonna go through the trouble to kill off a character, don't be afraid to actually go through with it!

I get it, can't show the pampered kiddies blood or mommies & daddies will get upsetty-poo. But here's the thing, kids are allowed to read about homosexual sex in school, but they can't see the mere implication that a game character was stabbed???

I remember when kids games & pg-13 movies had grit!

It just looks so stupid that he punches her in the back!

I get it, he's a big man with big ass muscles. Someone his size could likely snap her spine, but seriously!

---

I'm sure there are other little things, but those are the major gripes that I had with the story.

This is by no means a demand. Just some ideas that I'm throwing out there.

A Champion Time For The Heart Ch31 Through Golden Eyes P1

(WARNING And Disclaimers: Character death implied and mentioned and Flashbacks to when Reader was knocked out by a roof along with the mentioning of Leon having been slightly hurt from his encounter with Eternatus! The backstory isn't cannon except for just the story. This chapter will be Leon's P.O.V during the duration of reader's time with them so far. Also how many people would be interested in a Gordie x Reader once this book is finished? Also give me some nickname ideas for Leon to call reader by.)

He could still remember it like it was yesterday to him.

He was just eight years old when it happened. The day his father passed away. It was so clear yet so blurred at the same time. He was there one moment smiling at him and kissing his mother good bye before heading off to work, and assuring he'd be back in time for dinner and then the next thing he knew everyone including himself was crying once the news were broken too them. The bad news. The news about the tractor accident. No one could've seen that it would've tipped over when the wheels came loose and that his father would be standing so close by it-...No one could've known he would've-..No one could've known it would-...I-It would-..He-....

.....

He still cries to this day whenever it's brought up or he thinks about it.

But maybe what hurt the most to him was that Hop would never be able to know him. He was too young to remember when it did happen. Only two months old at the time. Everything after that happened so fast it was almost blurred together by a godly fast forward button, or maybe it was because he was so young at the time, but so much happened in so little time after that. His mother started working longer shifts at the local supermarket often leaving him and Hoppy with his 'Auntie' G and her husband or his grandparents to be babysat and not return until much later looking so tired and sad but she didn't let that stop her from smiling at them and loving them as much as she could. Around that same time other things started happening around him as well. Auntie G's husband left leaving her with the two crying newborns that weren't older than Hoppy was. His grandparents sold their home and moved in with them to help his mother with watching over them and the bills. Auntie G and his mother began to hang out more often than they previously did, most likely helping each other through the loss of both losing their spouses just in different ways. He always thought this was the reason he saw Gloria and Victor as other little siblings. Victor another brother and Gloria the little sister he always wanted, and G as a second mother and vise versa with them and his family. It helped him heal a little knowing he had another family just across the road from him but it still was a struggle. So he vowed to help his family in any way he could. He'd start to help look after the babies and try to do more chores around the house to get the strain off his grandparents and mother. And he'd try to put a smile on his Auntie's face whenever he saw her. ...His Auntie started having to work so much harder as well, his grandparents ended up babysitting both Hoppy and the twins which strengthened his idea of having to help. But what could a child do to help them? His answer came all thanks to Sonia. He remembered how excited she was mentioning that the next gym challenge would fall upon them in a couple years soon and that she was so excited because her grandmother was making her a dynamax band for the journey ahead she would take. And it hit him! THAT WAS IT!! The gym challenge was the PERFECT chance to get a place to help them! Although it wouldn't be that easy. Becoming the Champion wasn't really something he was likely to do but it was a chance, and if he did a good enough job he might catch the attention of a gym leader who could make him their apprentice! That would make tons of money and he'd be able to help everyone! But it wouldn't be that easy. It needed work. And boy did he work hard. Having Sonia help him study battles strategies and dynamax effects, getting up early every day to train, and taking notes of what worked best for him and what was most effective in which ways. He was even able to catch a charmander that wondered out from the Slumbering Weald. He put so much work into building that special bond with his team knowing they could trust him and he could trust them. It sure took him a while to convince his family it was a good idea and thanks to Ms. Magnolia he was able to get a sponsorship and dynamax band of his own and set off on his own gym challenge with Sonia when he was around nine and a half. It was scary at first but he trained harder, made friends, and after a long grueling fight he came out victorious against the old Champion. If you think that's where the hardships stopped you'd be wrong. So much responsibility...so much-..stress...At only ten. If someone would've asked him now if he regretted becoming Champion, he would be honest and say no. Because he loved being Champion and all the things that come with it, including the stress now that he was an adult but he wishes things weren't so forced and stressed at the beginning. He would forever thank his friends and family for being his rock during that time of his life and to Mustard for being his mentor throughout the entire experience.

But it wasn't all bad. He was able to make sure his family weren't struggling and later his mother was even able to buy more land she was able to rent out to the local farmers to make enough to take care of herself and Hoppy and both his grandparents with no problem! He was also able to help his Auntie by referring her to a good local farmers market she could sell all her crops too to make enough to live comfortably with the twins! He was proud of himself, and vowed to do everything he could to make sure his family lived as best as they could. Which meant keeping his title as Champion in tack for so long and giving his little brothers and sister the best upbringing he could provide. So it wasn't too surprising to see the champion coming back to Postwick just to hang out with them all and giving the three children pointers to how to take down someone in battle and giving them advice. He didn't mind becoming a prominent male figure in their lives, and he had already been planning on sponsoring all three of them for the gym challenge anyways but made it clear he wanted them to wait until they were older than he was before they took on anything as challenging as a journey this big. So on the ripe old age of fourteen when the next Gym Challenge was approaching he finally decided they were ready. He couldn't put this off from them forever no matter how worried he was for them but it wouldn't be fair for them if he didn't let them go. So it was only a matter of time when he had Sonia send him some starter pokemon for the three of them and went off to go meet them. And that was also the first time he had ever met Y/n. He had just arrived on charizard to get to Wedgehurst Station and Postwick. Guess word must've gotten out he was visiting because a crowd was waiting for him.

"Hello, hello, Wedgehurst!!,'' He greeted the crowd with a smile and wave, "Your Champion, Leon, is back!! I promise I'll keep doing my best to deliver the greatest battles for you all to watch!!."

"It's our unbeatable champion!" "Leon, you and charizard are the best!" "WE LOVE YOU LEON!!" "SIGN MY BOOK!!" "THAT'S THE MAN MY DAUGHTER WENT TO SCHOOL WITH!!" "LEON!! MR. LEON!! PLEASE LET ME GET A PHOTO OF YOU IN YOUR VICTORY POSE!!" "LEON!! LEON!! LEON!!" "WE'RE ON IT!! We've all been working on our battle skills just like you've taught us, Lee!!" "But that charizard of yours is to strong for the likes of us to take on!"

The poor champion hadn't even noticed the figure of his younger brother through the crowd as he smiled and tried to answer the crowd as best as he could. "Well thank you for that! I hope you all carry on training up your pokemon and never shy from battle!....Oh! Of course Ill sign it for you little buddy!...Then come challenge me for the Champion title!...Too true Charizard is blazingly strong. But other pokemon can be strong as well! That's why I want the strongest of challengers to fill the Gym Challenge and come battle me! My wish is for Galar's Trainers to work together to become the strongest in all the world!....OH! Yes! Of course! I'd love to have a picture with your daughter!"

He hadn't even noticed Hop and Gloria was there in the crowd until you had comically helped to lift Hop above the crowd high enough to wave his arms.

"LEE!!" Hop shouted at the top of his lungs and waved his arms around just as Leon turned back forward.

He blinked for a moment surprised to see his little brother so high up, before he smiled widely. "Hop!" He called back and made his way towards his little brother. Charizard in tow.

He'd gone through the crowd and right up to the three of you smiling and instantly hugged by his little bro.

"Leon!" Hop shouted into the hug. "I missed you!"

"So, my number one fan in all the world has come out of his way to pick me up!" They soon pulled away from each other with Hop absolutely beaming up at his older brother. "Look at you, Hop!" He hummed eyeing him a moment. "I reckon you've grown....exactly an inch and a quarter last time I saw you!"

"Bingo! That's the sort of sharp eye that's kept you undefeated for so long, eh, Leon?"

"Hm. Well it's funny because for a moment I could've sworn you got a growth spurt and grown taller than me," he teased back and Hop shook his head turning to you and Gloria.

"Nah. They helped me out in getting your attention."

Leon turned to the two of you and Gloria smiled widely when his smile landed on her with another hum. "And these bright eyes over here...I've got it! You must be Gloria! Am I right?" He asked in the same teasing voice which made Gloria playfully roll her eyes. "I've heard LOADS about you from my little brother."

"Oh knock it off, Lee! You know it's me." Her response from him was him ruffling her hat and hair playfully.

"Oh y'know I was just teasing! It's good to see you too, Glory! How's your Mom and Victor doing?"

Gloria giggled before shaking her head at the ruffling and reaching up to fix her hat. "Fine. Pretty sure Mum's helping with the barbecue dinner and Victor started his journey earlier this year."

"Wow. He did? I must've missed a lot since being back."

You were standing there too but you seemed to space out thinking about something until Gloria rose a brow and spoke making you blink back at them.

"There you go again." You blinked at Gloria again as she rolled her eyes. "You were staring off at nothing again, Y/n."

"Oh..Uh sorry. Just thinking about something....Again." Gloria rose a brow but you looked up past her when Leon stepped beside her.

" Oh. So you're the other one that helped Hop, yes?" He asked in a friendly tone and smile.

Before you could speak tho, Gloria chimed in proudly. "YEP! That's right! Not only did Y/n help but she agreed to be my traveling buddy for my upcoming journey!"

"Is that so? Good for you Glor! But I don't think we've properly been introduced." With a swish of his cape Leon proudly pointed at himself and smiled confidently. "I'm the Galar Region's Greatest ever Pokemon Champion!...And a massive charizard fan, too! People call me the Unbeatable Leon!"

And you had chuckled which made him smile more! That's good! He always loved making people smile! Everyone should get a chance to smile. But you didn't get to say anything else when Hop spoke again.

"Come on, Lee! And you two, Gloria! Y/n! Bet I can beat the both of you back home!"

"You're on! And this time I can finally catch up with you!"

Hop smirked with a challenge. "Oh yeah!" Gloria opened her mouth- Hope turned and bolted back up the dirt road. "LAST ONES THERE IS A SMELLY SKUNTANK!!"

"NO FAIR!! YOU NEVER SAID GO!!" Gloria shouted running right after him.

Leon laughed out loud watching the kids run off and shake his head. "That Hop...Always wanting to be the best, isn't he? With a proper rival of his own, I bet he'd push himself to become something truly special..."

"Oh he will. I know he is-..." You had froze up as he turned to you in surprise. You..thought Hop was special too? "B-Because he has such a great role model! H-H-He r-r-really looks up to you y'know! You're a really kind person and good brother!"

"Thank you!".....You blinked staring at his smile and made a 'Huh' sound and he chuckled again. "I said thank you. " He was happy you thought Hop was special! He thought so too and at the time happily returned that nice compliment. "That's honestly really nice of you to say so. I always try to be the best person and role model I can be for Hop and others like him. It's just one of the many duties as the best Galar Champion."

"Uh...Your w-welcome."

He smiled and turned back to the watching crowd with another cape swish. "Well, everyone! I bid you farewell for today! But don't you fret..." In a sudden blur he struck a pose with his arm pointed towards the sky and the crowd cheered loudly for it! Giving the same hand signal back. "I'll always be around to make sure everyone in Galar can have a Champion time!" You couldn't help but smile as he did so. Yep. At least this Lean was pretty spot on from the vaugue memories you have of when you played the game. He turned back to you with a smile. "Hey. Since the kids already ran ahead why don't you race me there? It'll be fun!"

He wasn't expecting for Gloria to get a traveling partner but you seemed nice and that sobble he gave- Oh. Silver Veil. He forgot you named him Silver later. Silver seemed to love you a lot. Although he couldn't believe you never had a pokemon before and how you met his family certainly was one of the strangest stories he'd ever heard. He decided to ask you when his curiosity peeked during dinner.

"You're Y/n right?," Lean asked and you blinked back up at his smile. He chuckled and pointed a hand up. "I don't think we had the chance to talk since you all met me at the station. You helped my little brother stand a little taller-"

"And give Lee an ego boost," Gloria teased.

"Hey! C'mon Glory. She just gave me a compliment." He chuckled and looked back to you. "I also heard you agreed to be Glory here's traveling buddy. Are you two friends?"

You opened your mouth to speak but Gloria cut you off as she pointed her fork at you two. "Actually we just met this morning. She was camping in the Slumbering Weald and was chased out by a flock of wild Corviknight." She shoved the food into her mouth and you wanted to sink into your seat as Lean blinked in surprise before looking at you.

"You went camping in the Slumbering Weald? Even I wouldn't get lost there, and corviknight are big pokemon. How'd you manage to get into that mess?"

"Uh-...It's actually a f-funny story. You see I'm n-new to Galar! I've been uh-...T-T-Traveling around and I guess I didn't know what I'd be getting myself into."

"Oh. Well at least you were able to get out of there alright by the looks of it. So...You're new to the Galar Region?" You nodded yes. "I see. So where are you from?"

"Uh...I-I'm from the K-Kalos Region actually..B-But I've been..Traveling around for a l-long time so...y'know I've been here and t-there."

He blinked. "Kalos Region huh? Wow. That's a long ways from here, across the ocean even. You must really enjoy traveling."

You smiled. "YEP! It's the best!"

Lean smiled at you. "I admire a free heart and spirit! So what brought you to the Galar Region? Was it just to see me?"

"She's here to see the Champion's Cup! And since she's going to be sticking around until everyone can finally battle you, I offered her to come along and BOOM! Instant traveling buddy," Gloria chimed in.

"Y-Yeah! That's right! It's not every day there's a big event like this! And who knows? I might just be eating with the next champion right now, or if you manage to stay champion that is."

"Oh. Well then you're in for a real treat! I have a feeling that this year is going to be full of excitement and powerful trainers like these two here," he gestured to the two teens who seemed to be proud-

"Lee." Leon froze as his mother pointed her own fork at him with a scowl. "I didn't slave away all day making your favorite lunch just so you would be too busy talking to eat it. Champion or not you're still my son in this house and what I say goes! Now hush and eat up!"

"Yes, Ma!"

He thought you seemed nice enough but you sure gave him a good impression later when you went to visit Sonia..and when you alerted him to the dangers that he failed to overlook-

"So, how do you know Sonia?,'' you asked to keep up conversation as you two walked over the bridge leading to the train station.

He was happy to answer. "Oh me and her go way back. Actually she was my rival when I first started my journey to become the Champion I am today. I think you'll like her actually. She's really smart and a great cook to boot! Not to shame my mom's cooking, but if I had to chose between hers and Sonia's dishes, I think I'd have to go with Sonia's." He chuckled smiling widely and reaching a hand up to rub the back of his neck.

You chuckled along as you both turned right at the train station and kept walking towards the research lab. Walking past you heard and noticed a lot of people stopping to stare at Leon as he passed with you pointing, and he just smiled and waved to them. A few women swooning and giggling like fangirls as he walked past with you.

"Heh. You must be pretty popular with the ladies," you teased and you were surprised when he got a bashful look over his face.

"Yeah..Well I don't really have much time for really thinking about dating or anything. Being the Champion means more responsibility for me to handle. I'm lucky the Chairman gave me a few days off to sponsor the kids. Now a days you need a sponsorship by one of the main benefactors to compete in the Gym Challenge, and I wanted to help those two when I had the chance." He felt a bit bashful at that but thankfully you both arrived at the lab at that time. "AH! Here we go! Looks like I remembered the right way after all!" You blinked and looked up to the building in front of you. A pokeball was painted above the doorway and it looked like a fancy old cottage home with a purple roof, and a few leafy plants hanging off of it. Leon grabbed the door without hesitation and smiled. "Let's head on in then."

Before you could protest, he had already walked into the home and left the door wide open for you to follow. You looked at your sobble for a brief moment and it made an unsure face. Ultimately you decided to follow him in since after all you had been there before in game, so it couldn't have been much different in person right? On instinct, you closed the door behind you with your foot and ended up finding Leon standing a few feet away looking around at the place. So you looked around too and slowly got a sense of the area. Next to the door was a small kitchen like area with a sink, table with chairs, coffee pot, and a tea set sitting on said table. The walls and floors was a simple white, with a few table and desks covered in books, equipment, and what you guessed was whatever 'research' they were doing here with all the books on the shelves. Literally. There was a LOT of books with a staircase leading up to even more, and of course a few houseplants here and there. A lot more like a library than a lab to you really. You looked back to Leon as he whistled.

"I've got to give it to Professor Magnolia. Everything in here looks fascinating."

You went to walk to stand beside Leon until you jumped back with a yelp as Sonia's yamper showed up.

"Hey there lil buddy!," Leon exclaimed kneeling down and reaching out to pet the small pokemon who gladly accepted his affection with a couple yips. "It's Sonia's Yapper. Which means she's in here somewhere."

And close she was. "What is it today, Leon?" You both looked up at the voice and the small Yapper turned around and barked happily seeing it's master. Hands on her hips looking down at you two. "Looking for info on another never-before-seen, super strong pokemon? I wish you'd stop with these outlandish requests."

He opened his mouth to say something- "ACK!!" He turned his head away as the yamper jumped up and licked his cheek like a dog, causing Leon to laugh and stand back up shaking his head. "Good to see you, too, Yamper!" He turned his head as the orange haired lady came walking down the steps. "Yamper here is a real champ when it comes to helping you find your way around." He pointed to the pokemon who barked. "He came to my rescue plenty of times back in the day, when I got lost on the road. Oh yeah, and that's his trainer, Sonia!" He pointed to the lady who by now was at the bottom of the stairs and walking towards you two. The small pokemon barking and running over to her feet. "What can I say about Sonia? Well I like the way she cooks. She makes food you can gobble down in a flash."

"Tsk." He turned back to the woman with a smile as she suddenly stood before him arms crossed. "What kind of an introduction is that? Did you forget we were rivals during our Gym Challenge? It wasn't just Yamper helping you out. I did, too! "

He chuckled and reached a hand up to sheepishly rub his neck. "Yeah. Can't forget how many times you had to drag me to the right gyms for my battles?"

She rolled her eyes. "I still for the life of me how you end up in the most random of places. Seriously. The only place you never get lost to is the kitchen for a snack."

"Oh come on, Sonia. You don't have to be so mean." he pointed to you. "I even brought a friend to wait while we get the pokedexes."

Sonia looked over at you and the Sobble on your shoulder peeking out from it's last spook. "Are you one of the trainers Leon's sponsoring?"

"Wha- Oh no! This is Y/n. She's actually going to be traveling with one of the trainers I'm sponsoring. She just tagged along to wait for them...aaand to make sure I didn't get lost on the way here. Ahehe."

"Oh I see." ...A smile came back onto her face. "Anyway, nice to meet you!" She pointed a hand at herself. "Name's Sonia. I'm the professor's assistant. It's very nice to meet you."

You smiled and waved a hand. "Hello. It's nice to meet you too." Your head did another look around the place ultimately landing on the glassed off area with plants. "This is an interesting lab you've got here.." You pointed at the area. "What's that?"

"Oh that?" She glanced to it quick before looking back to you. "That's the terrarium my grandmother and I sometimes conduct small environmental study tests with although it's not being used for anything at the moment." She pointed back to your Sobble. "Oh what a little cutie. It reminds me of the starter Sobble Leon was given by my grandmother for the trainers he's sponsoring."

The sobble chirped and Leon gave her a nervous chuckle. "Actually that IS the same Sobble Professor Magnolia gave me."

Sonia blinked to him faster than lightning and he gave an even nervous smile holding up his hands. "WHAT?! Lee! What's it doing back here then? Grandmother made sure you had the starter pokemon for three trainers!"

"Take it easy, Sonia. I'm not returning it." He held up a finger. "I-It's actually a pretty funny story."

She hummed. "Uh huh. I'm going to LOVE hearing about this." She started walking and you stepped aside as she passed one hand reaching up to rub her temples as the other one motioned for you to follow her Yamper at her heels. "Come on. I'll make you two some tea." You watched her go before looking to Leon who shrugged with that nervous grin and turned to begin walking towards where Sonia went, you following. "So. Mind telling me why the sobble we gave you is back here?" She asked grabbing the coffee pot and placing it on the small oven by the sink and reaching over to click it on as Leon and you came over.

"Well you see." He gave that nervous smile as she turned around to him brow raised. "Those three kids I told you about was reduced to two when one decided to go on a separate journey instead of doing the Gym Challenge with the others. So Sobble was kind of an extra." He took a seat across from her as she went to sit down, and pointed to you and the sobble. "But luckily Y/n here was in need of one too so it kinda worked out for the best."

The sobble chirped happily as you took a seat opposite of both of them and shrugged. "I mean...It's better to have one now just in case right? Still kinda getting used to it."

"Oh that's right. Hop mentioned you never had a pokemon before like Gloria."

Sonia rose a brow to you. "You've seriously never had a pokemon before?"

You quickly shrugged "I had more interest in traveling really. New to the region."

Sonia hummed but nodded. "Well I think you'll find the pokemon here very interesting. Especially the dynamaxing battles?"

"......Dynamaxing?," you asked confused. "What's that?"

"You DON'T know what dynamaxing is?," Sonia asked eyes wide.

"Oh boy. Here comes the professional speech," Leon smiled good naturedly and leaned back in his seat. Arms and legs crossed. You looked to him and was about to ask what he meant...only to get interrupted by a speech of intel by Sonia.

"It's known as the Dynamax Phenomenon. This phenomenon, in which pokemon take on gigantic forms, has only been observed in the Galar Region. Moreover, it only seems to occur in specific locations and under set conditions." You opened your mouth- "On the gigantification of pokemon, while the general principal holds that pokemon grow stronger and larger by evolving, it is also true that simply making oneself appear larger is another survival strategy with merit." You raised a hand- "But regarding the changes pokemon can undergo. Pokemon do not only change in appearance when they level up. They can also do so through the use of certain items or under the influence of the area they live in, in some cases. It is hypothesized that some factor within the pokemon itself is what allows for these changes to their form and biology, but thus far, conclusive evidence of such a factor has not been found by researchers."

She finished with a smile content with her eyes closed and arms crossed, her Yamper not understanding but barking in total agreement anyways as you just....stared. Leon seemed to be the only one to make a noise as he chuckled in amusement at himself for Sonia seeming to break you for a long moment of silence.

".....So basically dynamax-whatchamacallit stuff is just pokemon Super evolving for a hot minute?..Cool," you finally replied seeming to make some kind of sense of what she just spewed out to you. Sonia stopped and stared at you. Leon however snorted and quickly covered his mouth, turning away to shake as snickers escaped his body as you blinked. "Was it something I said?"

Sonia gave her laughing friend an annoyed frown before clearing her throat professionally and looking back calmly to you. "Oh no. But trust me when I say that Dynamaxing in the Galar Region is more than just pokemon with super evolving. We're the only region in the world who's pokemon is able to do so. We still don't know why, but it's one reason why our pokemon battles are so popular around the world."

"So you guys like to brag about your region of super hero pokemon evolving into bigger super hero pokemon to gain viewers??"

"PFFFT!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Leon couldn't contain himself anymore. Arms coming to hug his middle as he half leaned over the table laughing his lungs out. Sonia back to glaring at him annoyed and you raising a brow. What was so funny? Isn't this basically what is was?...Well from you're point of view yes, but now that you're seeing these two, maybe it's just that serious to Sonia. "I-I-..." He wheezed. "I-I-I'm so-o-orry! Ahahaha! I've just never heard anyone say something like that especially to Sonia! M-Most d-d-don't even question what she says. Hahaha!" He coughed a few times covering his mouth as he started to come down from his laughing high Sonia still scowling.

"OH!" You held up your hands catching Sonia's attention. "I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to make you feel bad I swear."

Sonia huffed but shook her head. " Nevermind. It's fine. Some people." She side eyed Leon with the stink eye as he wiped his eyes coming back from laughing. "Just don't get how scientific research is."

"So what is it exactly that you two do here?," you asked trying to lighten the tension. Luckily it seemed to work as Sonia smiled back towards you.

"Oh. Leon's a right amazing Champion, and I'm basically just an assistant. I'm not even Gran's official assistant, either." She looked down to the table with an almost sad look, "I've just been calling myself one. Somehow, it makes me feel a little restless. ...But to really answer your question." She pointed back towards the desks and tables covered in books, papers, etc. "We do research on ancient history of the pokemon and dynamaxing phemnonenon. We also supply starting trainers in this town with their first starter pokemon, although this is the first time Lee's delivering them personally. I just hope that whoever he decided to give them too aren't reckless. No offense."

"None taken," you replied, "But don't worry. I think they'll be in good hands with the new trainers." You smiled.

"Speaking of those two, where are they?" Leon hummed and gave the door a curious look as if Hop and Gloria would burst through it any moment, before looking behind him at the clock on the wall. ".....It's been almost a whole hour. Telling Mum can't take that long, and surely they couldn't have gotten lost. That's my thing."

He couldn't remember when the last time he laughed that hard was, and although he did feel kinda bad, the bewildered looks you made Sonia have was just too funny to NOT laugh at. You had a blunt but funny sense of humor about you. But it was after he said that last sentence did you stop being funny. Instead gaining a far away stare about you before you turned paler than a abomisnow. He would've asked if you were alright if you hadn't literally jumped out of your seat and slammed your hands onto the table-

Your hands slammed on the table and you desperately looked at Leon. "WE HAVE TO GO! THE KIDS ARE IN THE SLUMBERING WEILD!!"

"WHAT!?" Leon asked eyes wider than dinner plates as if you were far away and he didn't hear you.

You nodded. "They went there after this wooloo knocked over the fence leading to it by Gloria's house! We have to leave right now or else they could get seriously hurt!"

He wasn't sure what possessed him to do that but too many panicked feelings were running through him and he only heard that Hop and Gloria were in danger and in the SLUMBERING WEILD of all places!! That place was so dangerous even an experienced Pokemon Ranger would think twice before going in there. So imagine his horror when he saw what you had said was indeed right and they had gone after this wooloo.

"No.." It came out so quietly you weren't sure if Leon even spoke but you looked to him regardless. A look of horror, panic, and absolute FEAR on his face. "No...NONONONO!!" He suddenly darted forward again and stopped right at the fence entrance darting his hands up to cup his mouth. "HOP!! GLORIA!!"

His only answer back was the echoes of his own voice which eerily and spookily echoed back to him slowly fading out into the woods before them and even tho breathing heavily for breath you forced yourself to walk up next to him and in an urgent voice said. "We HAVE to go after them! They could be hurt!"

"NO!" He turned to you a determined scowl on his face. "I'm going after them! I need you to stay here in case they come back before I get out or in case I get lost and can't find them! I can't risk you coming with me and getting lost too! And if they come back and notice Im gone they might just come right back in looking for me!"

"WHAT?!," you blurted out, "But won't two of us searching make it easier to find them!?"

"I CANT RISK THEIR LIVES OR YOURS, Y/N! Don't worry about me! I'll get charizard to fly me out if I need to! If none of us are back within an hour I NEED you to run back to Sonia and tell her what happened! She knows where to get the proper help!"

THANK ARCEUS THEY WERE ALRIGHT!! By some miracle he was able to find the two and got them back out ok but he still dreads to think about what might've happened if you hadn't figured out where they went. He was also curious to how you figured out so he asked.

"How was Sonia after you explained what happened?"

He groaned leaning his head back and crossing his arms, giving a closed eyed grimace as you two walked. "Not too good. She yelled at me about how rude it was to just run out like that without giving her a heads up, and then she got even more annoyed she's going to have to fix that fence. Hopefully no other wooloos get the idea to enter Slumbering Wield...." His eyes popped open for a moment before he turned to you with a look. "Speaking of which, how'd you know they went in there?"

"Um...Well like you said. I saw the wooloo earlier with the other two when it was trying to bust down the fence yesterday, and your little brother must really love wooloos by how much he talks about them....So it was just a lucky guess based off..wooloos??"

"I see..." He smiled. "Well that was a pretty good guess. I can't say how grateful to you I am for helping Hop and his friend."

He had to admit it. He would've never thought of something like that or put the two pieces together so quickly in the way you did. It's true Hop absolutely adored wooloos, especially his own...and going into Slumbering Weald to rescue a single wooloo sounded exactly like something Hop would do and Gloria going in right by him was something she'd definitely do too. He'd be forever grateful you were able to connect the dots quickly. From there it was just a matter of just getting Victor who arrived late set up with a back up starter and repaying you. He had felt you had done him a great favor helping to keep two people he cared about safe and he decided to repay that kindness in full by getting you all set up with a pack worthy of traveling. He was buying supplies for the other three as well and being Champion he could certainly afford it all, so helping you the same way he was helping them seemed like the least he could do to repay your kindness. He was absolutely NOT about to let those three go out there unprepared and with nothing like he first did. Better to be safe than sorry. He repaid his debt to you and he left and...well that was it for a while. He didn't see Y/n again for a long, long time after that. He saw the trio at the Entrance Ceremony but considering you were in the stands he didn't get a chance to say hi. He did see the trio throughout their journey on the league's official website. Watching them battle against his gym leader friends and through Vic's online photo blog with all the pictures he took. He saw you in the background of a few of them but he really didn't see you in person until much later when he agreed to meet up with the Chairman-..Well now Ex-Chairman Rose about a plan to put up some more wind mills to generate more power to the powerplant. So he went, got lost, had Raihan pick him up on his flygon, and arrived in Hammerlocke. Imagine his surprise when he saw both Y/n and Gloria there. He surprised you enough into giving a funny squeal sound and Gloria practically knocked him over from her hug. He heard from his earlier enounter with Victor and Hop (who felt down at the time-) that you had been helping to keep them safe-....You...Were? He wasn't sure what to think about that, but none the less he was just happy someone was looking after these three on their journey around Galar, especially when Victor told him about you defending someone from a couple of goons dressed as rockstars...Hmm. Sounded familiar. He made a mental note to give Piers a call later when he had the time. But he was grateful still all the same and made sure to thank you for it that same day he saw you..Until he was chased to the powerplant by a group of fans. Sigh. And then there was even more time before he saw you again too before he saw you at Hammerlocke yet again when he came around to visit Raihan. It was short, brief, and simple before he went with Sonia to see what that shaking in the powerplant was all about. Turns out it was just an 'accident with one of their machines exploding' but considering what actually happened with battling Eternatus he highly doubted that now, but when he parted ways with Sonia and caught up to Raihan he was...Well he was sure something. He found his friend sitting in the gym hands clasped in front of his face and staring off.

"Raihan!," he greeted with a giant smile and wave to his rival, "It's been a while! I came to see how the challenge was faring for you!" ...When Raihan didn't respond, the champion blinked and rose a brow at him. "Rai?" He questioned with a poke to the gym leader's shoulder. "Hey. Are you alright there? You look like you're thinking real hard on something."

And then Raihan inhaled. "You know that Y/n girl?"

His brow rose higher. "....Yyyeesss. We're friends." He considered you as a somewhat friend at this point. "Why do you ask?"

Silently Raihan patted the space next to him. "Sit down. You're gonna want to hear this."

He wasn't sure what he was expecting when Raihan said that but he was nervous since his friend was acting so serious, but when Raihan did tell him about yours and his first meeting-....He laughed. Not just laughed. But hugged his sides because they hurt so much laughing because he had never heard anyone doing that to him before. The poor fella seemed so flabbergasted when you so suddenly, but nicely turned him down on the spot before he even made any moves. First Sonia and now his Rival. Gosh. Already you shocked two people who were really hard to shock were shocked by you with expressions he'd never seen before and he wasn't the only one who laughed. Apparently Piers had done the same when Rai told him. Gosh you were really amusing. He again wouldn't see you again until much later again after the trio had defeated Piers, he had gotten called out to take care of a rampaging dynamaxed pokemon on Route Nine when he ran into all of you. Of course it was too dangerous to go to Hammerlocke that way so he had the four of you take the back roads back to Hammerlocke with the promise he'd meet you all there. He'd rather not see the four of you hurt if he could help it. He did end up keeping his promise to the four of you at Hammerlocke to talk to the now Ex-Chairman Rose about the strange dynamax pokemon he took down, but he unfortunately couldn't keep his promise of eating with the four of you. But he was able to give you all some money which surprised you-

"Hmhmhm. You're doing a great job capturing those shots on your blog! I know Hop looked so great in those pictures you took of him Battling against Opal! I'm so happy the camera I got you is working so well! I'm sure both our Mums are so happy you three are doing so well for yourselves." Victor groaned even after Leon stopped ruffling his head but didn't complain like he did with the snow in Circhester. You blinked when he finally turned to you. And your eyes bulged out of your head like those funny googly eye stickers when he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small stack of money!! And it was small. Only being around sixty dollars as you stared silently as he held it out to you. "Now I believe I promised you all lunch. I'm afraid I can't join you as the Chairman has called me as well, but this should be enough to tide you over."

".............Huh?,'' you asked.

"Wha- But Lee. We didn't get here before you remember?," Victor pointed out.

And you finally snapped out of it nodding and pointing to him. "Y-Y-Yeah! What he said. ...And why are you giving this to me?"

He smiled before placing the money in your hand using his other hand to close your fingers around it, and you looked between him and the money into your hands as he waved you off. "Take it as a thank you for looking after my little bro and his friend on their journey." You opened your mouth but he held up a hand to stop you. "No. Please. I don't give hand outs, but I also know it's a bit rough for you out there not having any money like the others. I can't give a whole lot but I hope this helps you. Go ahead and get everyone some lunch and the rest is yours."

It was the least he could do since you had your hands full helping to take care of everyone, and he was technically right. You probably didn't have a whole lot to spend compared to the money they earnt from the challenge and himself. So that made you both even now! He didn't like owing people much anyways. From there it would certainly be a long time since he saw you again. He laughed when Raihan told him the tale of you pulling the hood over him again but that was the extent of how much he heard from you until around September when he got a phonecall from his mother letting him know you four had safely returned home until the finals that years after defeating Raihan. Oh good. So at least he didn't have to worry about you all and he was sure they wouldn't just wonder into the Slumbering Weald again so for now he'd focus on his own duties until those finals came. Speaking of which, he needed to get his Christmas shopping done. He wasn't sure how much time he might be able to spend with them this year so he might as well send the yearly package to his family. He had gotten most of his friends and Family in Postwick something. Extra notepads for Sonia and Ms. Magnolia. Calling in a favor from said Ms. Magnolia to get Hop a special book he knew he wanted. Some cookies he knew his grandmother adored. A cozy sweater for his grandfather. Self pampering kit for his mother because she deserved it. A gardening tool set for his Auntie. A waterproof camera for Victor (it'd be helpful for underwater shoots or if he got caught in the rain-). And a whole bunch of curry and pokemon pictures for Gloria (since she was working on those dexes-). ...But...that also left one other person. Y/n. What would Y/n like? It'd be rude for him to not get you something especially since he considered you a friend by this point. He was having a hard time deciding what to get you when he saw it in a store window. A small matching pair of a blue hat and scarf with a small sobble face on the front. You liked sobbles right? It was getting cold anyways so that'd be a good gift! He ended up sending that along with a cookie tin over to you. There! That outta be a good gift. He was sure happy when he saw you nearly a month later wearing the set when the two of you met during the start of the semifinals. Mr. Rose and Olena were 'busy' so he was in charge of putting together the entire thing together and he finally got to thank you for all your hard work.

"I'd better go find a s-s-spot in the stadium," You added a little shaken because of the cold as Gloria grabbed her pale brother hand and started carting him off behind Hop,"So I c-can get a good view o-of their battles."

You blinked when Leon patted Your shoulder. "Don't worry about that." Leon smiled widely. "You're being treated to the V.I.P lounge and watching the semifinals with me this year!"

F/c eyes widened as you smiled. Ah. That's the Leon you know. "No way! You're serious!?"

Leon chuckled and nodded. "Yep! I've already promised myself to make sure you would experience a Champion Time and nothing can be more so than joining me to watch the matches. Besides, I couldn't let you sit out in the stadium knowing your stuttering worse than Victor with a cold."

"A-Alright! That sounds amazing!"

"Is this that Sobble I gave you?" With a giant smile he gestured his hand out to Silver in your arms. "Wow! I see you've been taking care of that pokemon real well! He looks like a real healthy drizzle!"

....You smiled and nodded back. "Thanks. But he has a name now. Silver Veil."

Leon blinked at Silver who chirped out an answer when you spoke his name. "Silver huh?...Hmm. I think that name suits him real well." he complimented you.

"Thanks. How have you been by the way?" Your eyes scanned back over the crowd. "Seems you really stirred up quite the crowd."

He chuckled and waved a hand. "Well I do try to make everyone as happy as I can as Champion. OH! But while I have the chance, I also wanted to thank you for all the help you gave Mum. It can be a chore for her trying to do everything herself since Gran and Gramps aren't always in the best shape to help."

Your face gave a look of surprise for a moment. "Wha- How'd you know about that?"

"Hop and I talk to each other on the phone all the time. Same with Mum and I. They've all said some really good things about you and how helpful you were!"

You stood there for a moment before chuckling bashfully. "Well it wasn't a big deal. It was the least I could do for how much she helped me out." You then pointed one hand towards the stadium. "Besides are you sure its ok if I join you? I couldn't ask that of you, you know that. It wouldn't be fair to everyone else around here." As if to get your point across you gestured to the crowd and Leon looked to where you were pointing. You didn't want to just take him up on his offer no matter how nice it was. It wasn't fair to everyone else who couldn't have this chance. "It's much appreciated though. It's fine really."

"But I insist." you paused as he turned back to you with a giant smile. You opened your mouth to protest but he held up a hand. "You've helped my mother a lot. You've helped to keep my little brother and his friends safe. And from what I've been told from the incidents in Stow-on-Side and Spikemuth, you've also risked your safety a few times as well to do so." You still stared at him as he returned his hand to his side. "Part of being a Champion is being able to know people. You've done a lot and haven't asked for anything in return or taken advantage of the fact you've been around my friends and family. That's the signs of a good person. And the least I can do to repay that kindness is making sure you have a Champion Time like the rest of us." He smiled friendly to you but there was something..Different about his face. It could've just been the snow and cold air adding a rosey pink to his cheeks but he almost seemed more affectionate as he smiled at you. "And... I-I can promise that none of the others would mind either."

It was really considerate of you to not want special treatment but he was glad when you took him up on his offer! But then when the matches started on more and he watched along with you...it was then that he started to understand a bit more when you both spoke.

"Y/n?" You yelped with a jump and whirled your head around to stare at the man who walked up behind you, only to find Leon smiling and holding up a hand. "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you." He then gestured to the window. "Going to watch the matches."

"Um..Oh! Y-Yeah. Thought I'd better get a good view y'know," you answered back voice a bit more shaky.

He nodded humming Gold eyes looking you over for a second. "...The snow's beautiful isn't it? It may be cold but it makes the perfect atmosphere for Christmas. I can't remember the last time I got to properly celebrate the holidays with Hoppy...What about you? What's your favorite thing about the holidays?"

....Your head shook before you returned your now crestfallen eyes downwards to the glass, not even able to look at your own reflection. The fabric of your coat felt rough as you ran your hands over your sleeves. Leon rose a bold brow, clearly taking note of the sudden change in mood so fast.

".....I don't remember. My mom never celebrated Christmas since I was just twelve." The champion blinked at you, fully turning his face to you now. "I never had any gifts or christmas tree or stockings...Yeah. I GET that's not what Christmas is about. It's about spending time together and stuff. " You scowled down at the glass your fists digging into your sleeves' fabric. "But would it have hurt her to at least get me a candy cane? A sweater? A small card?! I GOT!!...." Your body deflated along with your face. "....I never got anything from her." Leon stared as your arms flopped to your sides. ".....She n-never did want to celebrate holidays. T-There was a-always some k-kind of money problem..."

"She never wanted too...Or did she not just ever let you?," Leon asked softly and you froze, your reflection's face mirroring the giant bomb that was just suddenly dropped onto you by Lee as he watched you. But his head immediately lifted up high as he saw the telltale signs of your eyes becoming shiny, and not in the sparkly kind. More like the 'Im about to cry' signs showing. AW RAPIDASH CRAP!! Great going Leon! You just goofed up again as always. Some Champion you were for making a girl cry. He wanted to smack himself and groaned. What was he thinking!? Instead he...reached up a hand, hesitated for a moment when you didn't respond from the movements, and then gently grabbed your shoulder. Of course you jumped at the touch and snapped to him wide eyed to him. "Hey. You shouldn't cry. Look at this. Your mum's not here is she?" No..Of course she wasn't. "You can celebrate Christmas now however you please right?"

.....Sniffling you shook your head no and reached a hand up to wipe at your eyes. "I-I'd l-love to...But I can't?''

"Why not?," Leon asked genuinely confused blinking.

"B-Because you're spending Christmas with the guys," your gaze turned back down sadly. "As much as I'd like to spend the holidays with them, I can't just invite myself with them all the time. Besides they deserve a chance to just hang out without me being tagged along with them, especially with their own family. I can't invite myself onto something that I wasn't even invited too."

"What about your dad? Dontcha have any other friends to hang out with?"

"No!," you shot back at him but somehow no one noticed again. "I don't! Because of my mom all my friendships sort of just...faded when when I didn't hang out with them and then they went off after highschool to who knows where! My dad's gone and my mom is...a-also...gone. ...I don't know where they are. Heck! I didn't even have Silver until you gave him to me this year! I-....I haven't had anyone for a l-long t-time ok?" You let out in a shaky voice and looked back away staring back out the glass. "I'll be fine! I was fine then and I'll be fine now, Leon. Thank you b-but I'll be fine by myself for a bit."

You might've not meant to sound so harsh towards Leon but to his credit the man didn't even flinch when you had snapped at him. Another silence resumed where you two slacked and he went back to looking out the window himself. All of it clicked so fast in his head as he stared silently out the window as the current battle ensued. So...Your mom was controlling? Is-...I-Is THAT why you started traveling around and so far from Kalos? Well that would explain why you were currently crying. What mother did that? And your father left you too huh? Yeah. He could relate to that. Not having a father around was certainly tough. He should know all too well he was afraid. He felt a pang of guilt for having pushed the topic the bit, but he was glad he found out more about you although he did feel bad about you crying. SO he was gonna do what he did best, and that was making sure everyone had a Champion Time. Especially someone like you.

".....Hey. Y/n?" You hummed but didn't look away from the glass as Leon spoke your name. "You said you weren't invited right? Well how about I invite you anyways?"

You stared at him mouth agape suddenly and eyes blown wide at the sudden offer. "Wait...You want to invite me on your Christmas trip? But you already planned it."

Without looking at you still he nodded again. "Yeah. It'd be a nice change of pace to have someone like you around, and don't worry about it." He smiled wider at you making your face light up just a wee bit. "It's my job to make sure everyone has a Champion Time around the holidays. Especially my friends."

That Christmas had been one of the best ones he had ever had. Not only was he able to spend it with his siblings, but he also got to spend it with you too! It was full of fun and surprises. He managed to get you a pokeball through that game, Hoppy and the others had a good time, and he even got a small gift from you. A small metal Charizard key chain he still has attached to his regular keys. He...He couldn't remember the last time he was able to get a gift from someone too. He was usually too busy so-...S-So it really meant a lot when you did give it to him. But it was that one incident. The accident...that really made him question how he really felt towards you. You both were just standing there at the park exit waiting for the trio to finish making up their minds about a purchase when it happened. You squealed which startled him into looking at you and jumping when you slipped on some ice on the sidewalk and he dove to catch you on instinct, not wanting you to hurt yourself. Then IT happened-

You gasped as your foot slipped on the slippery surface with a loud gasp enough to catch someone's attention. Your arms reached out for nothing but balance which even escaped you. No balance and nothing to grab onto to stop you from slipping on the ice and falling and hurting yourself on the hard concrete-

But..

No hard concrete hurt you.

You had squeezed your eyes shut hard expecting to feel the cold hard concrete but instead you felt a soft but firm ..something around your shoulder and lower back, and on instinct your hands reached to clutch at the thing stopping you from falling. And your body froze.....Well you weren't fallen on the ground but then how were you suspended in ...air-...You body all but froze up as soon as you opened your eyes and stared wide eyed into just as equally wide eyed gold ones. Silently you both stared at one another registering why yours and Leon's faces were so close. Until it finally dawned on your buffering brain. GOOD GRIEF!! Leon must've tried to catch you when you fell but instead managed to catch you and held you in a perfect dip (ironically under that blasted mistletoe as if mocking you and your situation-) and his arms holding you. On instinct your hands had clutched onto his front jacket and the quick jarring had pulled Leon's 'disguise' (his scarf covering the lower half of his face-) down so his full face was looking at you as if equally surprised he caught you like this. The cold wind blowing over you was countered by Leon's warmer breath..before he opened his mouth to say something. Something like 'Are you ok' or something like that, but that wasn't about to happen. Leon moved but not by his own accord. Leon's foot, which was STILL standing on the same ice you were, squeaked as it slipped against the slick ice and sent him lurching forward until his face collided with something soft and warm...

And that something just so happened to be you.

His face from collided with yours. Both frozen as something soft collided with your own lips. Everything in time froze for the both of you that moment.

There you stood frozen as Leon stood above lips against yours but not on purpose. After all he did just slip on ice. But your body was frozen, numb as you stood there looking up at him like your eyes turned into those funny googily eye stickers. He did in the same. Seeming in shock, frozen in time as his gold eyes stared back in the same state at you. Both mind blanks and bodies not being able to feel anything but neither could tell if that was due to the cold or the fact you two were in more shock than if a pikachu had zapped you. Eventually someone did move. You did. Your brain finally processing what was happening enough for common sense to finally return to your thought process and you moved your head back. Freeing your lips from his that was thrown forward from the trip, his soft purple bangs that hung off him tickled your forehead as it brushed against it from the moment you pulled back. The action seemed to make himself overcome the shock as well, after a moment righting his weight and yours up and slowly retracting his hands from the you to rest at the front of his body.

And you both stared at one another.

And then your brains finally processed what really happened.

The snowflakes and cold air colliding with his face couldn't extinguish the fire that froze in his cheeks as they instantly lit up the brightest shade of pink you've ever seen. But it wasn't just his face. His ears and whole face was now a pretty primrose pink instead of the usual complexion they were every other time you've seen him. And he suddenly reacted. You jumped when a gloved hand of his slapped over his mouth and his face gained a flustered expression as you just stood there. And your face also heated up-

YOU TWO HAD BLOODY KISSED!!....NO! No. Stay calm. It obviously COULDN'T have been a kiss! Not really. After all he had no intention of ki-ki-kissing you and you probably absolutely had no intention of kissing him of all people really when both of you were clearly just friends! And one could hardly call accidently slamming his face into yours a kiss! It was just because he slipped on the ice too and lost his footing! YEAH! Definitely! So it absolutely was NOT a kiss! Nope!....R-Right? Well he didn't have time to think on that because the Eternatus incident happened. It was such a blur. Such a wreck. Such a painful experience. Quite literally. He just remembered racing to Hammerlocke on Charizard once he got the situation in Wyndon checked and came face to face with pure CHAOS!! The skeletal red and black creature-...This was Eternatus. A creature that lived to destroy until it was sent to the grave by the ancient heroes and then brought back to life by Mr. Rose's evil deeds. The battle was the most painful he'd ever been through. His team one after another was defeated, exhausted, and not able to dynamax until all that was left was himself and his trusty charizard whom was the strongest of all his team. The purple air around them was just full of wind blowing around and pieces of Hammerlocke stadium's roof floating around. It was like a tornado from the underworld! Some of that things moves even hit him, covering him in painful bruises and scratches and even a black eye. Then the worse possibly thing had happened while he had wore the thing down, or so he thought, they showed up. He just remembered hearing footsteps running behind him and snapping his head when a voice rang out.

"LEON!!"

He froze..before snapping his head around him in horror at what he saw. It was Hop. But not just him. Victor and Glora!! No...NO NONONO!! THIS COULDN'T BE HAPPENING!! THEY COULDN'T BE HERE!! IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS!! HE COULDN'T RISK THEM GETTING HURT FOLLOWING HIM!! THEY WERE STRONG BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE THIS MONSTER ON!!

"You came to help me in spite of the danger?! Thanks, Hop. And you two too. You three have really grown tremendously." he gaze turned back at the monster. "But no need for you kids to worry. It seems like some power of Eternatus's was keeping my team from dynamaxing but we've had a champion time all the same. Charizard and the rest of my team have really worn it down. Now if I can simply catch it in a pokeball." He slowly reached for the most powerful pokeball he kept on him. Could he even catch a legendary!? Unlikely, but it was his only chance they had!! "We should be able to get this madness under control. Then everything should be back to normal. Watch! It's gonna be a real champion catch!"

It..didn't go that way at all. The pokeball didn't work. It completely backfired! It broke out of the pokeball and thrown him backwards landing with a giant thud to the ground. Thank goodness Charizard protected the trio on instinct so he knew they were protected from the blast. He was dazed. Head spinning and body numb until his body slowly regained feeling and focus as someone roughly shook him furiously.

"LEON!! *Hic* LEON!! P-Please wake up! P-Please be alright!," a younger male voice called out to him desperately and choking up, begging him to wake up. He was expecting Hop at first but instead was met with Victor crying with tears down his face scared and worried.

He wasn't sure how long he was down but by the time he was able to wake up, Hop and Gloria were in a furious battle with Eternatus along with two other legendaries. Victor had to help him wobble onto his feet and on instinct he had put himself between Victor and the battle going on, Charizard knocked out a few yards away from him. He could only watch in horror as the battle insued. They-...They looked like they were winning! Although no one could've seen what happened next. He was unaware of the danger he and Victor were it.

"LEON LOOK OUT!!"

He had barely turned an inch when something smaller but hard rammed into his chest and again sent him flying back, and in a domino effect he had knocked Victor over as well making the two hit the ground and there was a loud thud behind them as well. Like something fell just beside them.

"VICTOR!!," he cried out in a panic, despite the pain in his body he scrambled up and over to the boy who sat up with a groan rubbing his head, but yelped when Leon's two hands grabbed the side of his head in worry. A panicked look in his gold eyes. "ARE YOU ALRIGHT!? YOU AREN'T HURT ARE YOU!?"

Victor shakily shook his head no lip quivering and body trembling under his hold..Until light brown eyes looked behind him, and Victor froze in his grasp. Leon looked behind him following his gaze. And all at once his world shattered like glass. Tiny pieces falling around them all. There. Yards away from him. Was Y/n. Her body laid there limp as a ragdoll's. Eyes closed clearly indicating you were unconscious. And just a little bit away from you where he and Victor had currently been standing, was a decent sized piece of roof that could have hit them...If Y/n hadn't pushed them both out of the way.

"Y/N!!!"

His voice was loud enough to have been heard over the battle and make both Hop and Gloria look over their shoulders, the howling wind making the agonied voice echo out above even the winds. Gloria SHRIEKED! Hop's jaw dropped and Victor remained frozen where he was sitting on the ground shocked as the Champion scrambled on hands and knees towards her. She couldn't feel the shaking hands that gently turned her face towards him and she definitely couldn't feel the tears form on his face and land on her soft skin one after another.

Leon was crying, shaking. Begging you to silently wake up as he patted your face to no avail.

The battle was won when Eternatus EXPLODED to death in a ball of light and the other two legendaries disappeared. GOOD!! BACK TO THE GRAVE WITH IT FOR ALL HE CARED!! They all must've looked such a sight to Raihan and Mr. Rose. The Hammerlocke gym leader had stayed back to detain Rose so imagine it. Three young children were crying over someone's unconscious body, Leon all scraped and bruised up came hobbling out cradling someone's limp body in his arms. He was crying his eyes out making sure to carefully cradle your head as he wrapped you in his cake. His stomach did summersaults like he never imagined before. He never expected to see you of all people hanging limp in his arms wrapped up in his cape as the hurt champion struggled to take you to safety. Raihan had froze seeing his friend and the children crying and clinging to their big brother as he limped to them, even Mr. Rose standing next to him seemed absolutely speechless at the sight of you. Leon, looking more panicked than Raihan had ever seen him before, looked desperately at Raihan eyes widened and full of fear. Yelled three words at Raihan.

"GET AN AMBULANCE!!"

Raihan didn't hesitate. Leon all but sobbed when his friend took her limp form from his arms, no doubt to take you to help and the look he gave Rose was VERY clear. 'MOVE OR YOU DIE!!' Rose didn't argue or say a word when Raihan carted both him and you off back down the corridors. Leaving his friend to turn around and address another issue at hand.

Gloria's hands were wrapped around one of his as she cried, completely sobbing by this point. Victor was just silent. Not even making a peep, but he still stared off where you disappeared, fat tears rolling down his face. And Hop looked about ready to start sobbing as hard as Gloria was currently doing.

"...it's ok." It was BARELY above a whisper as his hoarse voice was forced out, arms shakily reaching towards them. "...it's g-gonna be alright-" Gloria didn't hesitate to throw herself at him in a hug Hop following suit. Victor had to be gently pulled into him but he didn't fight against it as the three all but sobbed into his arms. And he couldn't help but sob along with them. Rubbing their shoulders, and backs, and arms. They were alive. They were alright. They would be ok. "I-It's ok. B-Big b-brother's here. *sniff* B-Big brother's g-gonna make sure e-everything's o-ok. I'll p-protect you f-from all the monsters. N-Nothing's g-gonna happen t-to any of you." He choked on another sob as he slowly rocked them. "I promise. I promise."

Golden eyes glanced over to where you had disappeared and in that moment he made another vow. One where you would be ok. Wouldn't be hurt either. Where they would all be ok. No one would hurt his mother! No one would hurt his grandparents! No one would hurt his friends! No one would hurt his Auntie! No one would hurt his little brother and sisters! No one would hurt his pokemon!

And no one would ever hurt you again.

"I promise."

dr wc anon!!! here, heres some names i came up for my au!! (doesnt rlly have alot going on aside from my next gen fangan characters that i added in </3 but im not putting them in this post)

makoto is an ex kittypet and has a pinestar situation - hazelheart to hazelhope to hopestar after killing halfstar (junko) but then got stressed being the leader of thunderclan so he went to become a kittypet again

current leader of TC is lavenderstar (kyoko, full warrior name pending) and her deputy is bluespark (nekomaru) the leader of windclan is squirrelstar (squirrelsnap - mahiru) cuz i love her, the deputy of riverclan is probably going to be sonia or hina (ottershine)

sandfreckle and silverstrike (fuyuhiko and peko, names subject to change) are ex bloodclan cats , natsumi is called daisy and hajime (no names) is also a bloodclan cat at this time, sato was called basilpaw, (silver and sand were apprentices at the time i just said their full names lol), hajime joins after natsumi dies and basilpaw appears at squirrelstars leader ceremony

and after all that long text, heres some names i made up that i rlly liked: nightfrost (gundham) spiderswan (kirumi) shadowrain (shuichi) rosewing (miu) pebbledove (sonia, shes my fave so she gets to have my two fave prefix's :P) tigersmoke (mondo) rabbitcloud (chiaki) moonmask (celeste) foxfire (leon) reddove (himiko) yellowdance (hiyoko)

in terms of other stuff, kokichi is a leader of a group of loners and kiibo is a kittypet (theres other stuff like pebbledove being a ex-kittypet and rantaro comming for a loner family but theyre all techincally clan cats) and i guess you can say its a mix of a non despair and despair au?? idk, everyone is reletavly close in age give or take afew moons

ok wow this is long sorry i was gonna include characters i had half a name for but i doubt youd want to read that much :ppp have a nice day (again this isnt rlly finished so 👍)

I was unsure if you wanted me to post this or not, so if you would like me to remove this let me know!

Hazelhope having a Pinestar situation is really cool in my opinion! I could see how he could get to that point. I'm also always interested in people's view of Kiibo's role in DRWC AU's, and I really like the idea of kittypet Kiibo! In my own AU, Kiibo isn't even a cat lol

The names are all very nice ^^ I got your other ask as well, and I think that Dappledsun is a very lovely name for Angie!

Thank you for sharing! If you ever wish to share anything in the future, feel free! You underestimate how much I enjoy reading about peoples ideas, so write as much as you want! No apologies needed ^^

Ask if Amy appeared in your comic, what personality would it give her? One similar to Boom? Would she have feelings for Sonic? Would she get along with Manic and Sonia? would she often tease Sonic for her romance?

Well, I may as well talk about this, so spoilers for future chapters of Underground Remixed under the cut

So to start off with SUR! Amy’s backstory, her parents were members of the resistance, however they were captured and roboticized by Robotnik when she was young. Amy was fortunately not at home when this occurred so she was not taken, instead she was essentially adopted by the Oracle. You see, Amy has future predicting abilities, ones that are considered notable and unusual even by people in Mobius who practice fortune telling.

Because the Oracle lives in secrecy, the other members of the resistance were under the assumption that Amy was taken by Robotnik along with her parents, and they were devastated that a child would be taken. This included Sonic, who in Remixed is about a year older than Amy and was pretty close to her as kids. He is very relieved when it turns out she’s been fine.

The closest other Amy I would compare Remixed Amy to would be how IDW and recent games portray her, she very much has an obvious crush on Sonic and she is very much a character who wears her heart on her sleeve but knows how to prioritise the task at hand first. I would actually compare the way Amy conducts her responsibilities as the Oracle’s apprentice similar to the personality of Nimue from Black Knight

As for Manic and Sonia, she gets along well with them, especially Sonia! Sonia certainly notices Amy’s crush and is very encouraging of it, but less in a teasing way and more in a tactful, subtle way.

There’s a lot more details and nuance to her than this, but it’d a lot to write down here, so you’ll have to wait for her appearance in the comic. (And on that note, sorry for the slowness of updates! I have so many things I want/need to do and unfortunately SUR takes lower priority than other stuff)

history.

grows up in the jersey suburbs with their mom and dad for the first seven years of his life. his mother sonia’s an art student-turned-struggling artist who splits her time between nj and nyc for whichever side gig she can pick up, and his father’s an old punk turned chef with a severe vendetta against bobby flay.

when money’s tight and there’s no sitter to turn to during the summer, gabe accompanies their parents into the city. occasionally the stars align and sonia picks up a waitressing shift at the restaurant his father works at, allowing gabe to sit in a tucked away booth and scribble away. sometimes his dad’s old friends stop by the diner, letting gabe color inside the lines of their tattoos as his mom finishes up for the day.

TERMINAL ILLNESS; when gabe’s seven, sonia gets a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with an illustrator she’s long admired and once mentored under; he’s terminal, losing control of his hands, and needs someone to finish what he no longer can. the pay isn’t the most lucrative, but the experience alone is enough for sonia to accept the offer. the only catch being that they have to relocate to nightrest, massachusetts, where her old mentor resides.

around the same time, gabe’s dad gets promoted at the restaurant he’s been cooking at - he’s got it in good with the owners, could very well own the business himself if he keeps up the way he has. he loves his job, loves the restaurant and the bustle of the city. he wants to move them up to nyc.

DIVORCE; gabe doesn’t really understand why it happens, he’s seven and doesn’t really know where massachusetts is - they already take the train between new jersey and new york, why couldn’t they take the train from new york to massachusetts? if their parents love each other, why do they have to go separate ways? no amount of explaining could make gabe understand; and next thing he knows, his mom’s driving with him up to nightrest.

it’s tough settling in at first; gabe misses their dad and the city, and his dad’s cooking, and taking the train every other weekend between the two states - and his dad’s cooking, again. but it’s not all so bad; even though they reside in nightrest - the town is still drenched in halloween, like a constant celebration of gabe’s birthday. and he’s not completely alone; their dad’s old walkman left in their possession and the promise of visiting whenever he can.

days turn into years, and gabe’s older now, a teenager; he still visits the city every summer and crashes on his dad’s couch when he’s not out exploring the city or making out with a random boy from the hardcore show they’ve just attended.

MINOR DEATH MENTION; sonia remarries, eventually - and it’s like, good. it’s really good. they met during one of sonia’s local art exhibitions, her career finally taking off after her mentor’s passing. his name’s bill, or greg - maybe craig. he makes sonia laugh like gabe’s dad did, and has a son around gabe’s age. it’s good. life is good for them.

DRUG MENTION; it’s difficult for gabe to adjust to the marriage, and the addition of a step-brother. he’s not used to family being anything other than sonia, or his dad. his friends are like a family to them, but that’s different. it just feels different. their step-brother doesn’t play dnd, or care for marching band in the way that gabe oddly does - doesn’t listen to hardcore, or appreciate horror movies despite living in nightrest. fuck, he doesn’t even smoke weed. not even a little.

gabe’s not home as often - they’re off doing better things, like smoking in someone else’s basement and trying hard to start a band that never really takes off. they do free piercings at parties in cramped bathrooms; it’s how they’ve gotten several of their own. stick and pokes on someone’s grandfather’s old leather couch, drinking shitty beer from the only gas station that doesn’t check ids just outside of town.

they don’t mean to distance themselves from their family - it just sort of happens. the only child complex; the inability to share, and minor feelings of incompetency whenever his step-brother gets praised for his ever-growing list of achievements, while gabe’s stuck with the same routine of try hard, fail, mope, then pick themself up again just to do it all over again.

eventually they graduate high school (barely but surely) and enroll in the community college - most of their friends head off to better colleges in better states for better opportunities while gabe stays in the same place. they could go back to the city - but it’s expensive, and well - fuck - gabe doesn’t know. it’s hard to go anywhere once you feel stuck.

DEPRESSION, DEATH MENTION; they start taking anti-depressants sometime after dropping out of college, unsure of what they want to actually do with their life. gabe hits a couple low-points, but eventually takes up a job as a piercer at a tattoo shop down in salem and gets an apartment for dangerously cheap in fog gate after the previous tenant passed unexpectedly in the home.

INFECTION, VAGUE NSFW; gabe tells this one customer like a thousand times the proper aftercare for a fresh piercing, especially one done in a particularly...sensitive area - not to go swimming, wash with a saline solution, etc. etc. does the douchebag listen? no. has the audacity to go to a beach party - swim in the fucking water - then comes back saying that gabe’s fucked up the piercing, that it’s all infected - that he’ll sue. gabe knows damn well they didn’t fuck up the piercing - but it’s their word against his, and eventually gabe’s forced to quit as a piercer just to appease the guy.

present day and gabe’s currently a bartender at deadlights - just managed to get an apprenticeship at deadly inks after following the artists around the shop like a lost puppy - sad eyes and all. now if only they’ll let him tattoo on people. they’ve always liked drawing - the talent not quite as natural to gabe as it is to their mom, but years of practicing american traditional instead of writing chemistry notes has finally paid off.

traits.

has a serial case of being Too Friendly. they just love to talk. they’re not very good with long silences and will end up making some sort of noise to compensate anyways, so might as well let them ramble on about whatever. charismatic but still a little awkward at times.

DRUGS, DEATH MENTION; had a bad acid trip sometime last year that messed with his psyche a bit, had him thinking he was dead and a ghost for like. hours. worried they’re gonna like crack their back the wrong way one day and go on another bad trip.

tries so much to be like. Positive. Think Positive. sometimes they get into a bad rut and it takes them a couple of days (more like weeks) to fully snap out of it, but they really do try.

very affectionate with all his friends and gets lonely if they’re left alone for too long. separation anxiety</3. really likes being around others. loves parties. like gabe can cope if they’re on their own but they’re almost a little catlike in the sense like. they need alone time when they need it but when they need people time they Need it.

so endlessly loyal unless a friend’s done some truly fucked shit. but other than that gabe’s a ride or die.

he’s short. gabe’s like, 5′6″ at the very most. but what they lack in height they make up for in heart<3

just. fully covered in tattoos. started with stick and pokes and those cheap little tattoo guns from amazon when they were a teenager, all the way to their current big age with like. actual professionally done tattoos. there’s like very little skin that hasn’t been tattooed at this point.

has knuckle tattoos but they literally just say KNUC KLES.

was a Band Kid. was in marching band. and u know what? he fucking loved it. tried to start his own band as a teenager but it never took off and now he just plays guitar as a hobby.

has. a lip ring, a nose ring, and an eyebrow bar.

grew up interacting with the diy punk scene in nyc when he would go in the summertime, and their music taste reflects that almost exclusively. perpetually stuck in the early 2000s even though he was like 10.

has a rly old iphone like they don’t make the chargers for it anymore kind of old but he’s just not willing to upgrade it. doesn’t know how it’s still running. but he doesn’t have iphone kind of money.

99% sure they have adhd but were never tested or medicated for it. explains a lot of executive dysfunction but gabe does Not want to think about their problems like, ever. will avoid problems involving himself, like, interpersonally, but if one of their friends starts acting weird or distant then gabe will instantly be like. whats up? you good? why are u ignoring me? :/

has modeled nude for figure drawing classes before because they r proud of their body goddammit.

sometimes, occasionally, crosses that boundary between friendship and like. situationship. likes affection and pleasure but most of their relationships are short-term because they also live fast die young or whatever. what i’m trying to say is that gabe has been around the block more than a few times.

SMOKING; will never give up cigarettes for vaping!! never!!

huge nerd; plays dnd, loves high fantasy. loves halloween. big horror enthusiast.

doesn’t sleep well at all and is usually running on only a few hours. like at most 5 hours.

OH. THEY’RE VEGAN. passionate about like. Big Meat and animal cruelty and the environment and sustainability. all their leather is secondhand, they mostly thrift. just like their dad they also cook<3 mostly trying new vegan recipes that they then make their friends try.

they try their best to stay neat but sometimes<3 it just doesn’t stay that way. their apartment accumulates mess but then gabe will dedicate like an entire day or two to deep cleaning. it’s actually very therapeutic idk.

relationships.

long term friends!! people who’ve known them since they moved, or since high school, etc. people that gabe would die for without a second thought.

like a best best friend. the bestest of friends. the one person gabe cannot imagine life without.

first loves, second loves, thirds, forths, etc. spanning from high school to current day. i imagine most of their relationships are like. puppy love or honeymoon phases and then it fizzles out or gabe gets a little Too Much for the other to handle. most of them would be with masculine-presenting people i’d imagine

hook-ups of christmas past, present, n future. just fun, no thoughts or feelings which is hard because gabe falls in love just a little bit with like every person they meet<3

i love antagonistic relationships. people who hate gabe. gabe who hates people. they’re surprisingly spiteful and not a forgive n forget type of person. holds grudges like a motherfucker sometimes. maybe a brawl or two. it’d be funny if every once in a while they exchange hate texts just reminding each other how much they dislike the other.

i also love pining and unrequited feelings<3

apartment neighbors, i think gabe lives alone but he’s very neighborly (and is broke and out of ingredients and will ask for two slices of bread or a cup of sugar). but he’ll also leave fresh baked vegan goods outside your door<3

bar friends! drinking friends! dnd friends! artist friends!

friends to enemies or enemies to friends. got into physical fights in high school but now you’re like begrudgingly becoming friends now that you’re older<3

or maybe ur drifting away!

omg. the guy who tried to sue gabe for the dick piercing mishap.

but im down fr like literally anything gabe is Versatile and i love any sort of connection.

around the same time, gabe’s dad gets promoted at the restaurant he’s been cooking at - he’s got it in good with the owners, could very well own the business himself if he keeps up the way he has. he loves his job, loves the restaurant and the bustle of the city. he wants to move them up to nyc.

DIVORCE; gabe doesn’t really understand why it happens, he’s seven and doesn’t really know where massachusetts is - they already take the train between new jersey and new york, why couldn’t they take the train from new york to massachusetts? if their parents love each other, why do they have to go separate ways? no amount of explaining could make gabe understand; and next thing he knows, his mom’s driving with him up to nightrest.

it’s tough settling in at first; gabe misses their dad and the city, and his dad’s cooking, and taking the train every other weekend between the two states - and his dad’s cooking, again. but it’s not all so bad; even though they reside in nightrest - the town is still drenched in halloween, like a constant celebration of gabe’s birthday. and he’s not completely alone; their dad’s old walkman left in their possession and the promise of visiting whenever he can.

days turn into years, and gabe’s older now, a teenager; he still visits the city every summer and crashes on his dad’s couch when he’s not out exploring the city or making out with a random boy from the hardcore show they’ve just attended.

MINOR DEATH MENTION; sonia remarries, eventually - and it’s like, good. it’s really good. they met during one of sonia’s local art exhibitions, her career finally taking off after her mentor’s passing. his name’s bill, or greg - maybe craig. he makes sonia laugh like gabe’s dad did, and has a son around gabe’s age. it’s good. life is good for them.

DRUG MENTION; it’s difficult for gabe to adjust to the marriage, and the addition of a step-brother. he’s not used to family being anything other than sonia, or his dad. his friends are like a family to them, but that’s different. it just feels different. their step-brother doesn’t play dnd, or care for marching band in the way that gabe oddly does - doesn’t listen to hardcore, or appreciate horror movies despite living in nightrest. fuck, he doesn’t even smoke weed. not even a little.

gabe’s not home as often - they’re off doing better things, like smoking in someone else’s basement and trying hard to start a band that never really takes off. they do free piercings at parties in cramped bathrooms; it’s how they’ve gotten several of their own. stick and pokes on someone’s grandfather’s old leather couch, drinking shitty beer from the only gas station that doesn’t check ids just outside of town.

they don’t mean to distance themselves from their family - it just sort of happens. the only child complex; the inability to share, and minor feelings of incompetency whenever his step-brother gets praised for his ever-growing list of achievements, while gabe’s stuck with the same routine of try hard, fail, mope, then pick themself up again just to do it all over again.

eventually they graduate high school (barely but surely) and enroll in the community college - most of their friends head off to better colleges in better states for better opportunities while gabe stays in the same place. they could go back to the city - but it’s expensive, and well - fuck - gabe doesn’t know. it’s hard to go anywhere once you feel stuck.

DEPRESSION, DEATH MENTION; they start taking anti-depressants sometime after dropping out of college, unsure of what they want to actually do with their life. gabe hits a couple low-points, but eventually takes up a job as a piercer at a tattoo shop down in salem and gets an apartment for dangerously cheap in fog gate after the previous tenant passed unexpectedly in the home.

INFECTION, VAGUE NSFW; gabe tells this one customer like a thousand times the proper aftercare for a fresh piercing, especially one done in a particularly...sensitive area - not to go swimming, wash with a saline solution, etc. etc. does the douchebag listen? no. has the audacity to go to a beach party - swim in the fucking water - then comes back saying that gabe’s fucked up the piercing, that it’s all infected - that he’ll sue. gabe knows damn well they didn’t fuck up the piercing - but it’s their word against his, and eventually gabe’s forced to quit as a piercer just to appease the guy.

present day and gabe’s currently a bartender at deadlights - just managed to get an apprenticeship at deadly inks after following the artists around the shop like a lost puppy - sad eyes and all. now if only they’ll let him tattoo on people. they’ve always liked drawing - the talent not quite as natural to gabe as it is to their mom, but years of practicing american traditional instead of writing chemistry notes has finally paid off.

traits.

has a serial case of being Too Friendly. they just love to talk. they’re not very good with long silences and will end up making some sort of noise to compensate anyways, so might as well let them ramble on about whatever. charismatic but still a little awkward at times.

DRUGS, DEATH MENTION; had a bad acid trip sometime last year that messed with his psyche a bit, had him thinking he was dead and a ghost for like. hours. worried they’re gonna like crack their back the wrong way one day and go on another bad trip.

tries so much to be like. Positive. Think Positive. sometimes they get into a bad rut and it takes them a couple of days (more like weeks) to fully snap out of it, but they really do try.

very affectionate with all his friends and gets lonely if they’re left alone for too long. separation anxiety</3. really likes being around others. loves parties. like gabe can cope if they’re on their own but they’re almost a little catlike in the sense like. they need alone time when they need it but when they need people time they Need it.

so endlessly loyal unless a friend’s done some truly fucked shit. but other than that gabe’s a ride or die.

he’s short. gabe’s like, 5′6″ at the very most. but what they lack in height they make up for in heart<3

just. fully covered in tattoos. started with stick and pokes and those cheap little tattoo guns from amazon when they were a teenager, all the way to their current big age with like. actual professionally done tattoos. there’s like very little skin that hasn’t been tattooed at this point.

has knuckle tattoos but they literally just say KNUC KLES.

was a Band Kid. was in marching band. and u know what? he fucking loved it. tried to start his own band as a teenager but it never took off and now he just plays guitar as a hobby.

has. a lip ring, a nose ring, and an eyebrow bar.

grew up interacting with the diy punk scene in nyc when he would go in the summertime, and their music taste reflects that almost exclusively. perpetually stuck in the early 2000s even though he was like 10.

has a rly old iphone like they don’t make the chargers for it anymore kind of old but he’s just not willing to upgrade it. doesn’t know how it’s still running. but he doesn’t have iphone kind of money.

99% sure they have adhd but were never tested or medicated for it. explains a lot of executive dysfunction but gabe does Not want to think about their problems like, ever. will avoid problems involving himself, like, interpersonally, but if one of their friends starts acting weird or distant then gabe will instantly be like. whats up? you good? why are u ignoring me? :/

has modeled nude for figure drawing classes before because they r proud of their body goddammit.

sometimes, occasionally, crosses that boundary between friendship and like. situationship. likes affection and pleasure but most of their relationships are short-term because they also live fast die young or whatever. what i’m trying to say is that gabe has been around the block more than a few times.

SMOKING; will never give up cigarettes for vaping!! never!!

huge nerd; plays dnd, loves high fantasy. loves halloween. big horror enthusiast.

doesn’t sleep well at all and is usually running on only a few hours. like at most 5 hours.

OH. THEY’RE VEGAN. passionate about like. Big Meat and animal cruelty and the environment and sustainability. all their leather is secondhand, they mostly thrift. just like their dad they also cook<3 mostly trying new vegan recipes that they then make their friends try.

they try their best to stay neat but sometimes<3 it just doesn’t stay that way. their apartment accumulates mess but then gabe will dedicate like an entire day or two to deep cleaning. it’s actually very therapeutic idk.

relationships.

long term friends!! people who’ve known them since they moved, or since high school, etc. people that gabe would die for without a second thought.

like a best best friend. the bestest of friends. the one person gabe cannot imagine life without.

first loves, second loves, thirds, forths, etc. spanning from high school to current day. i imagine most of their relationships are like. puppy love or honeymoon phases and then it fizzles out or gabe gets a little Too Much for the other to handle. most of them would be with masculine-presenting people i’d imagine

hook-ups of christmas past, present, n future. just fun, no thoughts or feelings which is hard because gabe falls in love just a little bit with like every person they meet<3

i love antagonistic relationships. people who hate gabe. gabe who hates people. they’re surprisingly spiteful and not a forgive n forget type of person. holds grudges like a motherfucker sometimes. maybe a brawl or two. it’d be funny if every once in a while they exchange hate texts just reminding each other how much they dislike the other.

i also love pining and unrequited feelings<3

apartment neighbors, i think gabe lives alone but he’s very neighborly (and is broke and out of ingredients and will ask for two slices of bread or a cup of sugar). but he’ll also leave fresh baked vegan goods outside your door<3

bar friends! drinking friends! dnd friends! artist friends!

friends to enemies or enemies to friends. got into physical fights in high school but now you’re like begrudgingly becoming friends now that you’re older<3

or maybe ur drifting away!

omg. the guy who tried to sue gabe for the dick piercing mishap.

but im down fr like literally anything gabe is Versatile and i love any sort of connection.
