Their Greatest Treasures | Arven & GN!Reader

Rating: G

Summary: You're about to compete in one of your first public matches as Paldea's newest champion. With such a large audience, you’re terrified — but your worries instantly dissipate when one of your favorite people meet you on the court.

Author’s Note: There will be end- and post-game spoilers in this, so read at your own risk!

Also, while I headcanon Arven as an adult, this fic can be 100% platonic, for those of you who don't. I just wanted to write something cute about besties being reunited :) Enjoy and take care! x

Check it out on ao3!

You stand in the center of Mesagoza, about to compete in the first ever School Battle Brawl Academy Ace Tournament. You know you’ll probably win the whole thing, having recently become a champion, but you can’t help but feel nervous with all these eyes on you.

With the exception of being on Iono’s streams a few times, your audiences have been relatively small. But right now, nearly everyone you go to school with — teachers included — and even random passersby of Mesagoza are waiting eagerly to see their region’s newest champion in action.

On your side of the court, you fiddle with a Pokéball, tapping your feet against one another, trying to steady your breathing as you patiently await the battles that are to come. Your heart jumps to your throat as Clavell begins announcing your first opponent, and ripping the metaphorical bandaid off, you finally look up. Before the chairman can say your challenger’s name, though, you’re whispering it to yourself. Grinning wider than you have in weeks, nerves melting away.

You haven’t seen Arven much since the whole incident at Area Zero, having been bombarded with your new champion duties so shortly after. You hadn’t realized how much you truly missed seeing those piercing teal eyes; or the streaky, puffy hair; or naturally pouty, almost angry-looking face, until now.

More importantly, you’ve missed his voice. You feel comfortable and warm as he gives a whole spiel about how it’s “just his luck” to be paired against his “little champion.” He assumes you’d be surprised to see him at an event like this, but at the accusation, you shake your head ‘no,’ knowing fully how passionate he can become when he sets his mind to something. It throws him for a loop, but only gives him more encouragement to do his best – for himself, and for you.

You begin battling no more than a minute after the exchange, and the grin doesn’t leave your eyes or lips. To others, it probably just looks like you really enjoy battling.

To Arven, you look nuts.

He’s seen you battle plenty. He knows that, more often than not, you look determined, sometimes even scary, when you compete. What’s different this time? Has La Primera really gotten to you that quickly?

As he's lost in thought, a second member of Arven’s team goes down. You still have that look as you return your own Pokémon to its ball, letting it rest while another comes out to play. He begins to feel self-conscious, and it turns quickly into frustration.

Is he a joke to you? Are you on the verge of laughter because you’re kicking his butt so hard? What's going on?

Arven knows that those things wouldn’t be characteristic of you, considering how supportive you’ve always been of him… but what if that’s changed? Needing answers, he speaks up about it.

“What’s up with that dumb face?” he shouts before the two of you can begin the next round.

Your eyes widen, and then soften. After that, a giggle comes out of you that makes Arven’s breath hitch. Arceus, he missed his little buddy’s laugh.

“I’m just… really happy to see you!”

Oh.

Oh, nothing could have prepared him for that.

Arven’s own eyes widen, his face flushes, and your smile contagiously spreads to his features. He’s never really had anyone who’s happy just to be around him, at least to his knowledge. His own parents neglected him, leaving him without family, and he’s always struggled to make friends, leaving him without any form of kinship.

And yet here you are.

You helped Arven bring his partner back from what was basically the brink of death, and barely needed to be convinced to do so. You were there to console him when he found out his real parents are gone forever, with only AI in their stead, who also left him. You brought him closer to Nemona and Penny, and even if they’re insufferable at times, they’re some of the best friends he’s ever had.

Deep down, Arven thought that maybe you’re just a really kind person. A true, textbook-definition of a hero. There’s no way someone could care that much about him, surely.

…Yet here you are! Genuinely happy just to be reunited with your buddy.

You’re the greatest treasure he could’ve asked for.

the au you mentioned is a pokemon au right? i don't know anything about pokemon unfortunately so i can't ask specific questions, but i'd love to hear about any bits of felps (or felpac) information if you want to talk about it \o/

Yes its my pokemon au!! It's focused on this specific game called Legends: Arceus so it has some time travel fuckery and amnesia going on

Felps is a strange guy, in the present timeline he's Cellbits roommate, he works at a coffee shop while Cellbit works at the museum. He also helps out Cellbit do his own investigation job about strange things happening in Alola (another pokemon region) since people keep disappearing and others appearing out of thin air, with no memories to what happened to them. He met Cellbit when they both were about to end their pokemon journey and Cellbit was gonna try for the pokemon league and Felps decided to stick around that funky freak for moral support and bc he got attached

But also, he's there at the past timeline. Still Felps. He lives in a nice cozy hut by the rocky cliffs of Coronet Highlands (the rockside area in Hisui, another pokemon region but this one in the past) and just vibes with the pokemon. After Pac and Cellbit both end up yanked to the past and losing their memories, they eventually end up crossing paths with Felps again. The two can't remember him, but Felps remembers them, but can't say anything about it out of fear of the already unstable time distortion happening getting worse. Not even Felps himself knows how he travels between timelines

Felps and Pac used to be a thing, back home. Pac works at Gear Station, in the battle subway (a battle facility where you go down a series of battles until going against the subway bosses themselves, which here are Pac and Mike), and Felps used to wait for his shift to end at the top of the station, Pac meeting him there so the two could hang out and share dinner while watching the lights that'd came from the musical theatre down the street. They never put a name on their relationship, they just knew the other would always be there. In a different way than Pac knew Mike would always come for him

They love each other? Yes, they do, but the comfort of not being under a label was too much for them to really want to change it. They weren't exclusive to each other, both of them could date other people, but Felps just didn't want to put the work and the only constant in Pacs love life was always Felps

When Pac lost all his memories and met Felps again in the past, it was almost immediately the connection again, but Pac only felt extreme care and trust toward Felps, while Felps was still head over hills for him

Warden Ingo Cosplay Build Log

Hey Legends Arceus / Submas / Pokémon fans ! I spent two months last year making a Warden Ingo costume because the game made me fall in love with the franchise all over again (and because I love sad amnesia uncle, of course). I'm pretty proud of it, so I thought it'd be fun to share the process here in painstaking details. I've been cosplaying for over a decade now and I learned a bunch from so many defunct cosplay tutorials on this website, so I thought I'd give back. This isn't a guide, persay, but rather a dive into the methods and decisions I picked to complete this project. Any pre-made items or patterns that are available online will be linked! I'll be splitting down each piece of the costume into its own section for easier reading. This is gonna be a long one with a bunch of pictures, so I'd suggest viewing on the blog directly! Without further ado, all aboard!

Station 0: The Guidelines

Before getting into the build itself, I wanted to preface this wall of text with the guidelines I set myself for this project.These core pillars inform a lot of the decision-making, and some people might feel like using this log as reference for their own cosplays, so I thought it'd be good to put them here to explain why I did some stuff the way I did. Comfort first: I knew I was gonna wear it in the summer, and stand around all day at a convention, so it needed to be lightweight and comfortable. (well, as much as a cosplay can be, anyways.) Realism: Ok, that's kinda weird to associate "realism" to a Pokémon costume (unless you're Detective Pikachu I guess), but I wanted to look more natural instead of translating a shiny fancy 3D model straight to real life (nothing against that, it just wasn't my goal). This meant adapting certain elements that only really worked in stylized Pokémon graphics. Be a huge cheapskate: I didn't wanna break the bank with this one, so if I could save money thrifting or reusing stuff I had lying around, I was going to do it. Whenever you see me pull some material out of my ass that wasn't entirely fit for the job, that's why. After putting these down, jotted down a battle plan for the project (basically just a huge compartmentalized list of all the material I expected to need and the steps to complete the costume), and then it was time to get to work.

Station 1: Thrift Shop Pit Stop

I like starting every project with a quick trip to the local thrift stores to see what I can find. I hate sewing pants with a passion, so my priority was to grab some navy suit pants to match the coat's fabric to later. I also found a long sleeve black shirt for Ingo's undershirt, a belt I ended up not using, and lucked out with some excellent clown shoes with removeable insoles. After slapping in my own insoles, replacing the shoelaces and fixing up the pants' button, we were good to go on every element that could be done without any extra work on my end. Moving on.

Station 2: Three Refined Metals For A Hat

I'll be honest here: when I initially planned out the entire project in my notebook, the hat was scary as hell. I had no clear idea how I was going to do it; I didn't really want to buy a similar pre-made hat cause roughing it up would've been stupid hard to get to look right. I figured I could probably make it out of EVA Foam (a certified cosplay classic), but I've never patterned a shape this complex before. Turns out Kamui Cosplay made a foam pattern for the same kinda hat. Score! I purchased the pattern and assembled the hat using 6mm EVA Foam and Contact Cement according to the instructions. I then destroyed some poor polyester cord trim from the bottom of my scrap bin and glued it into the base for the... sticky-outies? The damaged bits. Y'know.

With the base finished, I drafted a pattern for the fabric covering, cut my pieces out of navy twill, sewed it up and slid it over the hat. I did the same for the inside with some cheap black muslin leftovers from another project, glued it all to the base in strategic spots, and then patterned, sewed and glued the band on. Finally, I took my seam ripper and scissors and opened up the seams where the little piles of sad polyester scraps were lining up to free them. With the main part of the hat complete, I cut up a disc of 10mm EVA foam for the insignia, scored the design on with a hobby knife and heated it up to form a bit of a curve. It was then sealed with flexbond, painted and sealed with a clear coat, and glued on! All that was left after this was weathering the hat. It's a little hard to photograph this piece properly, so I'll show the weathering process when we get to the coat.

I apologize for basically pulling a "rest of the fucking owl" here, but honestly a lot of the process was improvising and somehow not destroying the entirety of my progress, so I have no pictures of the hat building process beyond this.

Station 3: Sneasels Ripped My Coat

Ingo's coat started with a heavily modified version of a commercial pattern. Specifically, it's the D Coat from Simplicity's 4789. I could've probably found a pattern closer to the Subway Bosses' coat design, but this one had already been in my pile of "patterns I bought for an abandonned project and will totally use someday, I swear" and it was close enough, so I used it. Modifications included extending the collar, making the coat a little longer in proportion to my body, the sleeves wider at the ends, and adding inner pockets (a cosplayer's best friend). Oh, and the white bias tape on the edges and the orange stripes, of course. You may have noticed I'm not showing the pattern with all the modifications here. That's because as part of the Cheapskate Protocol, I really wanted to use this old Simplicity pattern to save money. A pattern I bought when I was a teen way back when. the misses sized pattern enveloppe. So I had to size up the entire damn thing. The biggest size on this pattern was like 7 inches off my measurements. It's a paper Frankenstein golem. It looks godawful. The actual adjustments to make the pattern Submas-ready are incomprehensible in there. But hey, I saved like 10 dollars! I started by assembling the base coat (undamaged) out of navy twill. I added heavy interfacing in the collar to help it stay up. I considered adding a lining to it to really sell the fact this used to be a modern machine-assembled piece of clothing, but it wouldn't have looked as good with the rips and tears later on. As a bonus, it's one layer less in the fight against heat exhaustion! However, if I were to make this coat for Pre-Eeby-Deebied Ingo, I'd definitively do a lining.

Next step was the stripes! I used some double fold white bias tape to finish the edges of the coat and topstitched the ones on the back of the coat on. I then used the same orange cotton as the hat band for the three orange stripes,which were topstitched on. Cheapskate Protocol made me buy barely enough orange cotton this time around because I was tired of building up the pile in the fabric scrap bin, so I had to improvise to make it work by snipping the bands in strategic spots in order to cover to whole coat properly. It's not like the parts that would be cut off later for the damage would need them, anyways. ✨Optimization✨

After rolling my rock up the hill of a Hell of my own creation, I booted up the game, dragged my avatar to the Ingo enclosure and marveled at the magnificent creature to see where the coat was ripped. I traced a loose guide of the tear designs with washable fabric chalk and crudely cut up the bottom edge, sleeves and collar to have the basic shape down.

All that was left was to add the armband and the buttons. Turns out the only metal buttonsI could find that were big enough were those buttons kits to cover with fabric. Since I wanted to go for realism here (and be able to throw the whole thing in the wash after sweating in it all day), I wanted to avoid crafting them myself. With the main construction done, it was time to do the weathering! ... ... ... OH GOD I FORGOT TO ADD POCKETS

Behold, the world's most awful pockets. Two stupid little bags sewn in such a way you hopefully can't tell from the outside that I completely forgot that I wanted these. They literally only exist so I can have my phone handy at a convention. There's a buttonhole to close it too, I guess. They're shamefully hidden with all my lining-less, raw seam sins. Ok now we can destroy the coat

Station 4: Stinky And Dirty

I mentionned earlier during the hat section that I was going to get back to the weathering process. This is happening now. For the sake of Realism™️, I wanted the damage to look natural in real life, so I had to make it look believable. Luckily this wasn't my first rodeo with the Dirt, so I had plenty of weathering experience under my belt. To break up the awkward scissor cuts from earlier on the edges and fray everything up, I pulled out the sandpaper and started... Sanding the fabric. Might sound weird to some, but a lot of costume makers swear by it. It's also great for ripped jeans (if those are still popular today) and general natural wear. I also refined the shape along the way with scissor to break up any long straight cuts before fraying the edges. I took care to reinforce any newly destroyed seams with a sneaky staystitch so it doesn't unravel in the future. I then mixed up a bunch of different shades of brownish grime with fabric paints (I had black, brown, yellow, orange and green on hand) to dirty the whole thing up. This doesn't look as realistic as some other methods like weathering powders and Just Using Real Dirt, but as mentionned earlier I wanted to be able to just throw it in the washing machine at the end of the day to sanitize it. (If you're interested in actually learning how to weather a costume, this guide is where I started my journey.) I prioritized the ripped edges and any spots where grime would realistically accumulate in over time, like under the edge of the hat band. Paint was dabbed, stippled and rubbed on with whatever garbage tools I could find, which in my case were some old crusty brushes, sponges and toothbrushes I could get really violent with. (brushes were harmed in the making of this costume, but not my good brushes.)

The whole thing was then sealed with heat using a flat iron as per the fabric paint instructions. With the coat done, all of Ingo's old Subway Boss uniform was complete!

Station 5: A Warden's Garb

Next step on the list was making the Pearl Clan uniform. Thankfully, there's a fun little piece of concept art that shows Ingo without his signature coat, so from it we can confirm that his clan outfit has short sleeves (good for the comfort goal) and consists of two pieces: a tunic and some kind of hip sash. I omitted the hood on the tunic because I was realistically never going to wear it up and it would have just bunched up under the coat anyways. Now you'll be painfully aware of that terrible corner cutting truth whenever you scroll down and see photos of the costume. Sorry. I drafted out a quick pattern for both pieces of the clan garb through the power of math for the sash (a couple half circles with another piece for the border) and tracing over a tunic in my wardrobe for the shirt. I assembled a test version out of scrap muslin to make sure it worked properly, then set the pattern aside so I could prepare the fabric. In order to have all of the tunic elements match together, I picked up a bunch of white stretch knit fabric and a bottle of purple synthetic dye so I could reach the shade of dusty lavender I wanted. I measured out two squares of fabric based on the pattern. One square was for the darker border on the waist sash, while the rest was the lighter color for the whole outfit. I boiled water according to the dye instruction and worked on my Fabric Soup.

With the fabric dyed and washed, I cut my pattern pieces out and assembled everything together. Nothing special happened there since the pattern had been tested and adjusted prior to sewing the real deal. Ok, one thing happened actually. My sewing machine absolutely hated how thin this fabric was and kept trying to eat my costume. By the end I was about ready to throw the machine out the window, but things worked out.

It's pretty sneaky and totally not visible on the outside, but the sash is held closed with two snap buttons on the front. It's easily the single jankiest piece of the costume due to the aforementioned attempt by my sewing machine to have fabric dinner. But hey, it works and the jank isn't visible so who caaaares (I care)

Final step for the Pearl Clan outfit was adding the logo on the front. I wasn't sure how I wanted to do this, at first, but to keep the fabric's stretch and keep with the idea that this is a hand-sewn garment from old Hisui, I decided to go with hand embroidery. I grabbed some scrap white cotton, dyed it purple, then cut it out in the shape of the logo. It was then painstakingly applique'd to the tunic by hand with embroidery floss.

With that done, the tunic was completed! It looks absolutely depressing on a coat hanger, but when worn with a belt it's all nice and cozy. As a bonus, it layers with the coat well enough that I don't have to wear a binder under everything to hide obvious boob shapes. Another win for the Comfort team! 👏 With all the sewing done, all that's left is the Warden bracelet and the hair.

Station 6: Noble Sneasler's Cool Bling

Ingo's got a bestie bracelet of his best pal Sneasler, so we gotta make that. The build should be pretty standard to anyone that's made anything out of EVA Foam for a cosplay. I drafted the pieces by referencing the in-game model, cut them out of different thicknesses of the material to create some depth, and glued everything together with contact cement and hot glue. (The main bracelet is 6mm foam, the details are 2mm foam and the black parts for the base of the head and the gem are 4mm foam.) I added an elastic on the wrist to keep the bangle secured to my arm while still being able to easily slip it on and off.

The whole thing was then sealed with flexbond, painted and then sealed with a spray clear coat. Honestly, it was the simplest part of the build and it actually went without a hitch this time around.

With the accessories done, it was now time to get to what I am convinced is every Submas cosplayer's worst nightmare: The Goddamn Hair.

Station 7: The Goddamn Hair

There's a lot of artists credited as character designers in the credits of Pokémon Black & White (2010). This means I can't figure out who to blame for Ingo and Emmet's stupid sideburns that make absolutely no sense in the real world. Instead we're just going to scream at the heavens and find a solution to the geometric flaps. Another fun fact: I'm awful at wigs. Like absolutely awful. I understand the methods involved, but I'm stupid bad at applying that knowledge on an expensive mop of plastic hair I don't want to ruin. So I did some research to figure out how people were making the twins' hair on their own cosplay. Everyone did a great job, but it wasn't really the effect I was looking for, so I decided to start from scratch. Because, you see, I was going to completely avoid styling a wig. I've always interpreted the art as them having some sick sideburns/muttonchops. (This art piece by waltias on twitter was posted like a week after I finished my cosplay and I felt so so validated in my interpretation) I also love Makeup FXs, so I thought "hey, I can look up beard makeup tutorials." I ended up with two ideas: either I could buy crepe wool hair in grey and glue the fibers to my face individually every time I put the costume on, or I could make a reuseable prosthetic. I'm a lazy piece of garbage that likes doing things once so prosthetic it was. I mean, I know how to ventilate wig lace. It'll be reusable and take 4 minutes to apply. Smart! I got the Jett in Light Grey from Arda Wigs, a ventilating hook, matching wefts and the lace. I had a plan, I was ready, it was going to look great. And then I spent 40 hours tying individual strands of plastic hair on a wig lace mesh. For a total surface area of maybe 3 square inch.

(Pictured above: A Fool.) It was hell. I might've incurred a stress injury from the process and then had to let it rest for a week because I did it all over a couple days. Would I recommend doing it? If you're patient, sure. I love the result. But this was, by far, the worst part of the entire project. 40 hours. The entire coat took me like 6 hours. 40 fucking hours.

After painstakingly tying individual hairs to a mesh and realizing I might've reached the Ninth Circle of Hell along the way, I took my couple squares of ventilated wefts and trimmed them to the proper length. The result was awesome, and I don't regret it at all. It looks exactly how I pictured the idea of sideburns would look like. But it also took 40 hours of me just tying some fucking hair to a mesh. Maybe there was a better solution, but there's so little ressources about the process online that I just went with the methods I could find, really. I pray someone starts offering squares of pre-ventilated wig lace someday so no one else has to suffer like I did. As a sidenote, I didn't even bother with the balding hair since I wasn't gonna go through all the effort of heavily modifying a wig and wearing a bald cap if I wasn't even gonna take the hat off.

40 hours.

Station 8: Bits And Bobs From Under the Subway Bench

Honestly, after the absolute nightmare I went through making the sideburns and goatee, The final touches were a cakewalk. After all, the costume is complete! What's next? Warden Ingo uses Pokéballs like a cool guy, so I wanted one. I usually make pretty much everything myself for costumes because it's fun, but after the ventilating adventure I just wanted to rest. I'd been following NisuzCraft's work for a while now, and I loved the wood grain effect on their Hisuian Pokéballs. I wholeheartedly recommend them, their work is awesome.

As a final touch, I grabbed some red cord I had lying around from a previous project to craft a little loop to hook my convention badge onto. I don't really like having the badge show up on photos, so it was a clean way to have it easily accessible while having it be easy to slide out of sight. I based the idea off of the knotted ropes the Galaxy Team member hang their Pokéballs from on their uniforms.

Lastly, though it's not necessarily part of the costume itself, I made an overly indulgent ita bag panel for the first con I took Warden Ingo out to. The collection's grown since then, but here it is:

Chandelure: JellyBearDesigns Ingo & Lady Sneasler: AstroTeenyArts Warden Ingo, Emmet&Ingo Duo: Cynniarts Ingo & Emmet with fingers crossed, Hanging Ingo, Emmet & Warden Ingo: Zhampip Rubber Straps: Official Pokémon Mate Merch Go show them some love!

Terminus: You Have Reached Hisui Station

So, first con wearing Warden Ingo came and went. What's the verdict? Pretty great experience, honestly. It was relatively comfortable to wear despite record heat in the middle of summer. The only real issue was that having a wig and a hat together trapped heat real bad, therefore some wig breaks were needed. I also initially used spirit gum to stick the facial hair on, and I struggled to remove the residue afterwards from the lace mesh, so now I just use body tape to keep it on. Nothing broke, nothing hurt, so I'd say it was a success! I haven't had to modify or repair anything for the future, so I'm very proud of the results. To anyone who read this Build Log to the very end, thank you so, so much for your interest. I hope this may have given you some insight into the process; especially if this helps your in future cosplay projects! If you don't cosplay, I hope it was still an entertaining read.

Hoping to see more wonderful Submas cosplays in the future!

More Nightsky Headcanons :) Mostly About Winona, Mikey, and Nikey.

(Got some whump in this one.) (is it whump?) (I think so idk)

Winona likes to call Mikey Sky-Boy in a taunt kind of way, but a “I love you, idiot” kind of way

Mikey is not good at hiding his emotions as I’ve discussed, so sometimes he’ll just look at Winona in like any formal-wear and he just “Uhhhh, uhhhh einwidheiwneieneie hi” and his face is like red as a tomato and Winona’s just like LMAO Arceus I fucking love you

FOREHEAD KISSES all the time, hand kisses, they’re very comfortable with moderate PDA, but they’re like all over eachother when they’re mostly alone. Constantly hugging, holding hands, you know the drill. They’re so fucking adorable

Mikey is pretty decent at flirting, but Winona is always on top of her game. Flirting between the two almost always starts with Mikey saying something pretty good, and then Winona just knocking him to the ground metaphorically with something he could’ve never even guessed, something that leaves him absolutely stunned in the best way possible. He wants to someday find something he can say that will make Winona feel the same way.

Also, the outside of Team Sky’s base is decked the fuck out with wind chimes of all kinds. The area it’s in gets a shit ton of wind, which has also resorted in the base being partly wind powered.

anyways back to the Nightsky

Nikey often finds himself holding his own hand when he’s alone just to have some sense of what he used to have with Winona

Despite him very much being cursed, people outside his close proximity only know it to be a rumour. He prefers to keep it that way and will very much dock the pay of anyone who is too persistent to know.

The skin around the cursed eye is like… really gross. Like Marvel’s Spider Man 2 Symbiote Suit gross. The green dot below the eye has the texture and material of marble. The red iris can burn through almost any fabrics aside from one, which is exactly what his eyepatch is made of. He is EXTREMELY insecure about how the skin around his eye is and if anybody brings it up, he will either A. Threaten to kill them. B. Hurt them physically. Or C. Just leave and then hide away from everything and everyone. Depends on his mood.

There was a point in time where he got deadly sick for like a week, almost died, and nobody knew because everyone assumed he was just self isolating again. He didn’t think of his sickness as much at first, just a small cold, he’ll just wait it out. But as it went on, and he began to feel worse, he began having intense physical symptoms, began to be unable to stand even with a cane. He began to rely on dry snacks in his house as he couldn’t do anything to cook for himself, which only worsened his condition as it was mostly unhealthy food. He was lucky he even had any water in his room in the first place, otherwise he surely would’ve been dead long before anyone found him.

He couldn’t call for help either. His voice was too quiet and hoarse to call out for the bodyguards standing guard right outside his house. He began to experience extreme delirium and even when he was breaking things inside his house in an attempt to call attention to someone, anyone- to help him. The guards just assumed he was having another episode. Constant burning inside his body, jolts of pain coarse go through his body like lightning any time he moved. He couldn’t sleep either, which only worsened his delirium and caused more intense hallucinations. Hallucinations of people he loved, people he lost, whether by death or otherwise. Hallucinations of people he killed.

It wasn’t until he crawled to his front door, scratching and clawing, unable to stand up to reach all the locks he had brandished on the entrance to his house, that someone finally opened the door and saw the horrible state he was in. His hair was a mess, his skin was dirty, he was barely clothed, and his eyepatch was missing. He began to be treated on sight by his personal doctor, who was called for an emergency to his house. But his condition was far too severe for that to suffice. He was taken to the nearest hospital and put into emergency treatment.

Turns out, the reason he had fallen so deathly ill was due to a deadly poison known as “Parasect G” which is known to kill any recipient within the next 24 hours after consumption. The doctors said it was a miracle Nikey had even survived for as long as he did, especially with how he was handling it. The doctors also found that his body had been suffering from long term and deadly amounts of intense stress. They ended up keeping him in the hospital for months to get his body to be even remotely healthy.

Nikey hadn’t realised just how exhausted and in pain he’d been for the past 5 years. And when he found himself alone in his hospital room, all he could do was cry. He’d been so… tired. All this time he was so tired- and now he was feeling it, all at once. He just wanted to curl into a ball and dissipate into pure light. All he could do now… was make the most of his hospital-ridden state, and just take the time to just… rest. Weeks after recovery, Nikey found himself vaguely wishing that it had taken him out. Or that he could atleast be that close to the brink again, because atleast then, he could be taken to the hospital again, and have time to breathe again. He has a purpose, he’s the ruler of the world, and yet… he feels so lost. Like he’s waiting for something that’ll never come, that he doesn’t even know what it is. But he’s holding out for something.

And he will get that something. Whatever it may be.

Piano-centric video game tracks that I associate with Vivia

A majority of these songs are from my character playlist, but I feel like being my music man self and wanna ramble a lil bit about them while providing individual links to each song.

Darkness Falls (Deltarune) - The og piano-centric track I tied to Vivia like it was wrapped around his finger. Fits his sense of mystique and storybook-esque view of the world to a T.

My Castle Town (Deltarune) - I feel like this song would be one Vivia could play on his lonesome in the secrecy of the undisturbed hotel. If his perception of peace and quiet were to be a song, this would be it.

Laura Plays Piano (Silent Hill 2) - I'm a HUGE Silent Hill nerd, so it was instinct to pile up a bunch of SH2's tracks on top of Vivia like a warm, heavy comforter. I'm mainly showcasing this one because this song encapsulates the feeling of spectral projecting, wandering unseen among the living and dead. (Please listen to Silent Hill 2's OST, it is filled with so many good piano tracks that feel close to Vivia it pains me)

Breeze - In Monochrome Night (Silent Hill 3) - My personal favorite track from SH3, a slow burn instrumental that remind me of Vivia and Halara's dynamic specifically. I associate Halara with drum kits, as previously discussed in my post about each character's instrument motifs. The piano and drums work in tandem, creating a shockingly well-played duet.

By Your Side (Omori) - The warmth of a rare smile from Vivia, finding genuine happiness in his place within the agency. Surrounded by those who love and care for him, a stark contrast to his horrible home life, Vivia wouldn't trade this tranquility for anything else.

Lost Library (Omori) - The solace of a good book in the homely nook of the fireplace, guided by candlelight. No sooner does he rest just as easily in his own little spot, dreaming sweetly of a better life away from all the difficult truths hiding in a desk drawer across the room.

Guardian Battle Theme (Breath Of The Wild) - Don't you just hate it when your peace and quiet is threatened to be taken away from you? The anger that arises is subtle, but the flash of a blade sprouting from his hand is a clue unaffordable to miss. If you've managed to piss off Vivia, then you've sure as well earned it. Lookin' at you, Yomi.

Wielder Volo Battle Theme (Legends: Arceus) - If one small detective is the only thing that stands between Vivia and his peace and quiet, he'll do whatever it takes to force him away. Since Yuma wishes to see the truth that badly, then he'll have to fight him for it. Neither of them want it to be this way, but they must protect the one they deeply admire, unknowingly colliding into each other's beliefs of who the culprit really is.

#i love characters that are so musically-inclined even if they aren't explicitly musical themselves #ever since i saw vivia laying under the piano in his va reveal pre-release it was ON SIGHT #rain code #rain code spoilers #vivia twilight

(Don't answer this one if you don't want to)

any nsfw hcs? Or slightly suggestive ones?

Ok, Anon, I was NOT expecting this in the morning, but guess what?

I will try to do some. Now it's not going to be the best, but I'm going to try on this since now that this is here, I can see this ship is to the point that I'm never seeing the pearly gates. /jk

My only warning, though. Please take it WITH caution/extreme caution.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ARCEUS, IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS ONE.

(Same goes with if you are not comfortable with talking about inappropriate behavior, such as peneration, light positive degradation, or getting "Light Switches" flipped up.)

I do NOT wanna be the one to ruin a minor's mind with impurities. Only continue on willingly if you wish, IF you are 18 or above.

Alright, so from what I've seen on some headcanons, from canon, and from help from my friend, (the one who helped create this crackship that somehow turned serious) here's what I will take as how they are for dom/sub/switch roles:

Starlo would be a switch but would prefer to be a bottom.

Lucifer is also a switch but also mostly prefers bottom.

So with this, you'd assume, "Oh, well, that's a huge issue as putting two bottoms is like putting two of the same puzzle pieces together, how is that going to work?"

Well, my Cowboy King Shippers or normal shippers looking for ships to read out of boredom or fun, let me answer you with this~!

Starlo, yes, would have a preference to bottom, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be a top if his partner, Lucifer, doesn't want to be the top. The times Lucifer does take top aren't too rare but aren't too common, but goodness does he enjoy it when it happens.

Lucifer would mainly be bottom. You can't tell me that this man with his past relationship to Lilith involved him being a top every single time. LIKE LOOK AT THIS MAN AND TELL ME THIS MAN IS A TOP.

Their dominant roles would fluctuate with this in my opinion:

Lucifer would be a dominant and a submissive bottom. He could be really dominant at one moment, but then if Starlo presses the right buttons? Ooh, this man is PUTTY. Like I'm telling you he is no longer giving Starlo commands, he wants some commands from him instead.

Starlo is mostly submissive. He's the top, but he's the sub, and he'd rather let Lucifer give him the commands. There are times Starlo can get a little bit into wanting to give commands, though, and boy, he knows some ways to make Lucifer be under his command if he wants it.

Now, some of you may be asking, "But Bean, Lucifer is shorter than Starlo, how would they actually do the deed when Starlo takes top?" Or "How would they do it when Lucifer is almost like a twig?"

Well, let me explain with a long explanation with the answer at the end of this long explanation with headcanons that I assume.

Starlo's (Full Body) height, I headcanon Starlo to be around 7"1 or 7"2. Lucifer, from fan estimations, is around 6"0. (Lucifer for real going for tallies and Starlo for real going for the shorties.)

Now their cock sizes, let me see... So assuming this, I'm going to be real, I can see Starlo having an "average" size, at least in Monster sizes. Like if I had to measure that in human/demon sizes though? Perfect. Not too long, not too thick. His peneration game? Strong. Way too strong. At least in Lucifer's opinion. Like if you had to measure it in length, I'd say maybe like 1 inch bigger than average? (This isn't confusing to you all, is it? I hope not, cause if it is, I'd say maybe the size of 2/4ths or 3/4ths of a pencil?)

Lucifer would probably have an average in length in my opinion and thoughts. Yes, he's the King of Hell, but he doesn't have a HUGE schlong. I feel like he's the type of guy who says he has this massive dick and that he could tame anyone just by using it, but he's actually just one or two inches off from counting as a huge size. Starlo thinks Lucifer is still good at his peneration game when he does it. He doesn't get too much, but he doesn't get too little, which he likes.

Their body weight differences, I can see Lucifer definitely being lighter than Starlo, like... a lot.

So, to answer your question, Starlo's just really gentle when he pushes in, and ONLY gets rough when Lucifer commands/asks him to, or whenever he takes dominance, he waits for Lucifer to either say the safe words or waits for him to give the safe sign. The safe words being "Yeehaw" or "Apple." (Yes, they talked about it. Starlo was the one who came up with both words as a way to make things a little bit goofier and so that they could both say something that they both liked.)

Sometimes, depending on how he feels, Lucifer will actually allow Starlo to tie him up in his lasso. I'll tell you, whenever Starlo had to practice some Lassons, Lucifer, after a bit of begging, accepted being the training partner and even used his wings to make the training more effective for one of the lessons on catching flying bandits and would make flirty but also playful taunts. Like this maybe:

"Come on, Starshine~ You aren't even going to catch a snail with the lassoing you're doing!"

"I'm tryin' my hardest, Luci! Jus' give me a moment!"

"Well, my Radience, you should try harder! Come on, you got this!"

*Starlo attempts once more only to miss and land a cactus*

"... Well, Starshine, I don't think that's your target-"

"Oh hush you!"

"Maybe I should probably just stay in place for you, considering how difficult this is looking for you~ You seem not to be adept in trying this kind of training, so maybe you need a little more of a slow pa-!"

*Lucifer is stunned as he didn't even stop moving, but was jerked back by Starlo's lasso pulling him back to him*

"Who's slow n-"

"... Uh, Starlo? Are you ok, dear?"

"U-Uhm... D-Darlin', I think I got a bit of a tempurature-!"

*For a moment, everything is silent as they both stare into each other's eyes... Only for the moment to be broken by Lucifer*

"... Starlo, are you...?"

"No! I-I mean, yes! I-I mean-!!!"

I'm telling you, Starlo is... well, let me tell you, if he's got Lucifer, his darlin', tied up? This man gains sexual energy that no one ever even KNEW he had. He's just bricked up like a stone house on top of the largest hill you could think of. He even hoped Lucifer wouldn't realize it, but oh, Lucifer knew. He knew this COMPLETELY after he felt that stiffness in between his thighs and after Starlo stuttered out his response.

I'm unsure on some positions they would try, but I definitely know they would do vanilla. (As it's the most common) That would be how they usually go and even be how their first session went. As time goes on, I can see them trying... Would it be the "Cowgirl" still or the "Cowboy" since they're both guys-? (I dunno, either way, I'm gonna assume the cowboy one-?) I can also see Starlo just placing him onto his lap. Gently pressing him downwards to get used to his length so that Lucifer doesn't get uncomfortable or hurt while he's doing so.

It can go from gentle and calm to rough and wild within 1-5 seconds really quickly sometimes. Sometimes, they'll go on way longer than they usually are, but most of the time, they can go on for about an hour or two before they both get tired.

I'd say Lucifer would probably be the first to get tired. Like yes, I know he probably could last longer if he tried to last longer, but Starlo would be the one with the most stamina. But just cause Starlo has the stamina, doesn't mean he's able to hold himself back longer.

Starlo? Completely sensitive to being touched on his "joystick." Touching him there by itself, it'll only take like 4 or 5 seconds to make him let it out. Suprisingly, if Lucifer touched any of his rays and then touched him there at the same time, he'll immediately be met with him coming quicker than he would without the touch. Lucifer would be the one to get tired easily, but he would be able to hold back longer than Starlo could. You know what I'm saying?

I'm telling you also, I fully believe that one hc (I may have read once) that Star's cum glows. So I feel once Lucifer sees that, Starlo would feel a bit scared that he would wanna break up with him at first, but once Lucifer tells him that he's not bothered at all by it and thinks its attractive, this guy is more than willing to just give Lucifer as much as he wants from him. There is not a thought in my mind that this wouldn't happen.

Both of them have a praise kink. Like when they praise each other during a session, that keeps them trying to make each other feel good.

Starlo would be a little bit into any small degradation (degradation but not too bad, harmful, or mean), but it would have to be positive degradation. For example:

"You're such a good little slut. Taking it like a god."

"Does my little Radiance want more? So needy~"

"Such a picky Starshine... Do you still need me even after I was rough with you? I'd be happy to if you do~"

Any positive degradation that Lucifer uses will have been asked about beforehand, so if Starlo is okay with it, Lucifer will keep a mental note on that. He will never use anything Starlo isn't ok with.

I'm sure they would use toys in a later stage of their relationship, but it would be rare. Lucifer prefers to be close to Starlo and would rather he be the one to bring pleasure to his man rather than some non-living, non-feeling, not even real toy that's made of rubber or plastic or mechanical wiring. He wants to be the one to make Starlo happy, but if Starlo asks, he will (begrudgingly) use them, but he won't be mad at him for wanting it instead. Starlo would ask Lucifer if he wants them to be used on him, but that chance the King of Hell will ask is a 0.000000001% chance he'll say yes.

I'm pretty sure they would do blowjobs. Only if they ask for it, though. If they're both wanting one, they'll take turns depending on who asked first. Which is why anytime they're alone in private with no chance of getting caught, if the thought immediately pops in, there's a 50% chance the other is thinking of it. They'll yell it out as soon as it pops into their mind. Imagine walking by a house or room of a castle one day only to hear two guys yelling, "Are you up for sucking?!" Or "You feel like sucking me off today!?"

Oh yeah, these lovers definitely have some healthy intimate moments.

(... why did I take so long to get this one out. More importantly, WHY DID I THINK ON THIS ONE-?! This ship has horribly took over, and it shouldn't... NOOOOOOOO-)

#undertale yellow #undertale yellow starlo #starlo #hazbin lucifer #hazbin hotel lucifer #lucifer #starlo x lucifer #CowboyKingShipping #so I can't really say anything about this...#why did I actually have to both think and try hard on this!?#why did I even try on this!!?#I've gotten to the point that this ship is actually to the point that I'm actually doing/allowing these asks for it-#it was kinda difficult to try to get these down though so im just going to say to you all I tried #and to everyone who was NOT expecting this like I wasn’t i am very sorry #y'know its funny though to wake up to this being the second ask of the day only to take three hours to think/type it down #like never did i expect to see that as the second thing to look at in the morning #anyways I just got a rubber duck in a cup while writing this...#... they are haunting me. they will never leave.#but at the same time YAY A DUCK :D

OOH BOY THIS IS A DOOZY. TYSM. I love the way you think, you always look at stuff from different and interesting angles! Do you mind if I take some inspiration from your thoughts?

Anyway, here are some answers. I tried to lump as many questions together as I could, so I'm sorry if I missed something.

Negligent Cynthia. Yeah. The last time Lucas saw Dawn, Cynthia was sending her into the distortion world. Because of course, when a world-ending event is happening, you send an 11 year old. Lucas never forgives her for that.

Emmet wasn't there when Arceus yoinked Ingo. The only warning Emmet had was the ancient records of Warden Ingo, so all the twins knew was that Ingo was going to disappear one day. The historical records never said whether Ingo died or left though, so Emmet tries to hold out hope that Ingo will return.

That doesn't mean that Ingo didn't make a promise though... Perhaps the last thing he thought before he forgot was a mental promise that he would complete the mission and return to Emmet as fast as he could. Waugh.

And ouch, Emmet looking into disappearances after his brother went missing. That's genius. I haven't really considered Emmet's perspective yet, so hear me out here.

What if Emmet takes Lucas' disappearance as a sign that there is something more to Ingo's mysterious time travel? And he goes to Sinnoh to investigate.

Unfortunately, Ingo doesn't befriend Akari. All Ingo knows is that he is meant to be a guide, and he has a strange protective urge whenever he meets a child. Amnesia really hit Ingo with the Dad Instinct, huh? Sadly, he has no idea who specifically he's supposed to be helping.

Lucas does help Ingo get some memories back! It's not a lot, but they talk a lot about modern culture, battling, and things like fast food and indoor plumbing. Lucas is sad that he doesn't know who Ingo used to be, but he at least knows what a train is.

Lucas does not recognize Akari as Dawn. Arceus didn't explicitly say that he would be finding Dawn or Ingo there, only that he would eventually be reunited with Dawn. He thinks Akari is just an unfortunately similar ancestor. It doesn't help that Akari is now 15 instead of 11.

Akari is still Laventon's assistant, but there are a few key differences. The first is her team. Lucas keeps finding pokemon in Hisui that remind him of Dawn's old team, and so he gives them to Akari to protect her. He tries not to think about how it feels like he is replacing his sister with a lookalike, no siree. He also ignores how they are the only pokemon that Akari is comfortable around, and how she nicknamed them all the exact same things. There is nothing weird going on there.

The second key difference? Two words. Red sky.

Volo doesn't get to touch Dawn. I slap his hands. Bad Volo. No.

Lucas is still going to come for Volo with a steel chair, and Volo's reveal will probably trigger Dawn something fierce, but that won't happen until when it normally happens in the game canon.

By the time that happens, though, the three fallers are a very tight knit group. Volo won't know what hit him.

LUCAS ON A MISSION. SPEEDRUNNING THE NOBLES. Lucas is going to get so many aunts and uncles by sheer virtue of being a disaster child. He killed his inhibitions years ago, now he runs on spite, caffeine, a blessing from a god, and the pursuit of knowledge. He gets two whole stars every time he comes back from the wilds.

And who says Lucas doesn't get himself killed...?

Laventon asks Akari if she's jealous of Rei's progress, but she tells him no. It's oddly comforting. It reminds her of someone she might have known.

#lucas #dawn #ingo #akari #rei #thrice is a pattern #kat answers #HECK YEAH QUESTIONS #mutuals my beloved

Do you have any headcanons about how Arven would react to the main character getting hurt? Like maybe by a Titan pokemon or something

The variety of Arven asks I've gotten lately has been incredibly refreshing! I've gotcha covered, anon! :D

Quick setup before I get into the headcanons based off my own in game chaos: Arven runs up to find the large Klawf frantically climbing down the cliff. Before he can react- MC has quite literally LEAPED after it, knocking themselves and it into the hard ground below. No one died and the titan has been defeated, but injuries have occured.

Onto the headcanons!

Arven is absolutely distraught. What in the name of Arceus made MC think jumping after and a massive Titan Pokemon was a good idea? They were able to fight, sure- but their ankle is bruised and possibly broken. He gathers them up and brings them into the cave for safety.

When he's not distraught, he's absolutely pissed. Furious really. They could have died! They could have hit their head on the way down or got killed by the massive Klawf's pincers. He already had to witness Mabostiff get hurt in a battle. Seeing MC get hurt in battle too brings bad memories that he's not ready to deal with.

It's not until MC is wiping his cheeks that he realizes he's been crying. They were originally waving off his concerns because "That's just the nature of Pokemon" but seeing him so upset really broke cut them deep. Arven isn't angry at them for taking on the titan with him- he was just so freaking scared.

He's not the best with medicine, but he's been in enough situations similar to MC that he knows what to look for. If the injury isn't severe he'll break out the medical kit, cleaning any wounds and wrapping up the injured limb- all while lecturing MC on why what they did was absolutely moronic.

If it's too bad to take care of on their own, he'll call for a flying Taxi to take them to the nearest hospital. The entire time he'll hold their hand and reassure them it'll be okay if they're scared, even when his own voice is shaking and he feels faint. He hasn't exactly recovered from watching them fall.

Whichever ending it comes down to, Arven will do his best to make them comfortable. He'll still make a sandwich for them; adding extra herbs and fixings that help alleviate pain. Even mad, he'll be there to comfort them if they're not okay, rubbing their back and wiping tears if any are shed. He's not gonna leave them to deal with it on their own. Mabostiff and the legendary they're traveling with will keep them safe until either help arrives or they're ready to get going once more.

MC won't be so reckless next time, but Arven still preps for it. Titans can be pretty nasty even if you're careful. He's grateful to have them helping, even if they happen to shave off a few years of his lifespan with their outrageous antics.

Thanks for reading!

yuu1412 Although now I gotta wonder: did Miku get Binghe into gaming? Did he find fanfiction? Did he have pokemon or adventure ships???

(question asked on AO3)

YES, she did, of course she did, you’re so incredibly right, argh, how did I not realize before that she’s the one who started all this! She’s the one who got him playing Pokemon Go, they’re both on Team Valor and, while Binghe is there, they rule their local gym (Tatsu doesn’t play and Masa is Team Instinct because he liked the gym leader’s style (I wonder why (stares at Masa’s hair))). Binghe’s enchanted by Pokemon purely because “OMG, Shizun would love this, Shizun thinks monsters are so cool, he would love a world where you get to tame and battle with monsters, I must share this with him as best I can!!!”

He does this by basically becoming a walking pokedex of pokeknowledge, watching an impressive amount of the anime, and also making his Pokemon Go avatar based on Shen Qingqiu instead of himself (partially so there can be at least one world where Shizun gets to experience this, partially so that, you know. He can be the one helping Shizun become the very best, like no one ever was, because Shizun deserves it-!!!). Pokemon Go tends to be the pokegame he plays the most, though I’m going to say he watches Miku play Legends Arceus a lot, because he finds the story both intriguing and relatable (in a way). Miku lets him play her save file from time to time to go shiney hunting, because Binghe has the best luck with shinies (I wonder why).

I think this might actually be the first thing that Binghe and Miku really connect over - he has a hard time figuring her out at first, just because she acts so differently from anyone he’s ever met before, in a lot of ways he doesn’t expect. Like, she doesn’t seem bothered by Binghe spending time with Tatsu-sensei? At all? Binghe’s only got eyes for Shizun, but it’s like she’s not even worried Binghe might try and steal Tatsu-sensei from her or something? And why is she okay with Tatsu-sensei spending time with Binghe when he could be spending it with her? And why is she being so seemingly friendly with Binghe? What’s her ulterior motive? What does she want from him???

Miku: I don’t want anything from you. Tatsu likes you and he could use some more friends - and you look like you could too.

Binghe: (nods politely, then spends as many points as he dares when he’s alone that night trying to get some explanations for what the heck’s going on)

Because, thinking about it, Miku’s going to, just by being herself, be a good example of how to be in a healthy relationship, same as Tatsu is. Yeah, they’re a slightly odd couple, but they’re happy together and comfortable in themselves, and, bless him, Binghe needs that in his life.

I think Binghe also gets into Animal Crossing in a big way. Fighting games just aren’t as interesting to him when he’s, you know, actually been the one doing all the cool fighting stuff, kind of a step down, but Animal Crossing? That’s such a Binghe game, making a beautiful home and island that you have complete control over? 10/10, he’s going to think of it wistfully from time to time when he eventually returns to his world.

As for fanfiction and shipping... hmmm... I don’t think he does, he’s engaged enough with web novels, the library, and other such things that he never manages to stumble across it. He does discover YouTube, however, and ends up watching a lot of self-help videos. Masa taught him the important things for internet usage: search functions, where to find the p*rn and h*nt*i, and how to pirate (Miku’s the one who helped him find the webnovels). With no knowledge to even conceptualize things like AO3, deviantart, or tumblr, Binghe just doesn’t stumble across them. And, frankly, that’s probably for the best, I adore fanfic, obviously I do, but the world does not need Binghe discovering The Tropes, that could-

...wait.

(considers)

...gods, this boy’s too smart, he’d probably use the trope knowledge he gained via fanfiction to try and get himself into Scenarios to get Shizun to notice and/or sex him.

Except then he gets home and discovers his stupid Heavenly Demon Blood makes him immune to basically Everything, sorry Binghe, gonna still have to ask for what you want in bed. Not that he lets this stop him entirely.

Side note, Shen Yuan starts actively avoiding anything potentially thorny, because his wonderful but accident-prone disciple keeps tripping into them and getting his clothes ruined, Binghe, please, think of all the pure and delicate maidens whose hearts you’re going to break by exposing them to your perfect everything-!!! ...though it is a little odd that it never seems to happen when he’s wearing his apron. Weird. Oh well, at least Binghe heals quick thanks to his demonic heritage...

Binghe, still in his latest ruined set of robes, flopped on the floor of Sha Hualing’s lab: Why won’t Shizun notice me???

Sha Hualing, barely paying attention: You wear too many clothes.

Binghe, still face-down on the floor: No, I thought about that, but Shizun’s more the sort to be into a tantalizing, unexpected glimpse of what’s usually hidden than seeing everything all the time. It’s more intriguing.

Sha Hualing: Humans are weird.

Binghe: You’re weird!

Sha Hualing, to Mobei-jun who’s sitting against the far wall: Why did you help him get in here again, I have a deadline for getting this sword done, you know!

Mobei-jun: ...

Sha Hualing: I don’t speak ice cube you-!

Binghe: Liu Mingyan’s human, you know.

Sha Hualing: ...

Sha Hualing, setting tools aside: So tell me more about these weird human fetishes.

Binghe: IT’S NOT A FETISH, SHIZUN IS TOO PURE AND ELEGANT AND DIGNIFIED TO HAVE-!!!

...so yeah, Binghe can have a little exposure to fanfiction, as a treat. Because it could be funny.
