MY THOUGHTS ON STARDEW VALLEY BACHELORS

Alex

first impression : ok kinda rude,but ok .

he likes sports, Basic.

Now: cute little fella, ilike him lot , but, like, get a job.

Headcannon: He would definitely encourage you to go to the gym and play sports, likely that he would pick on what you are eating.

Marriage: He cooks, feed the Animals and help with the crops.

Helps a lot 120/10

Summary: Basic and safe choice, not bad.

7/10

Elliot

first impression : rich and fancy man, Oh is he a writer? That's good i guess

Now: broken and fancy man

Headcannon : I believe he has the biggest ass in all of stardew valley .

He definitely has the best hair, period.

He speaks sophisticated, probably uses "slang" that no one knew or used millennia ago.

Marriage: Fix the fences, give the pet water and feed the animals, He can cook some fancy dishes too.

Installs a small library,And that's it, I believe that a lot of the wedding is him taking you to the beach to relax and get inspired.

Summary: peaceful and lovely, But you'll have to practically support him, being a writer is beautiful in theory but very unprofitable.

if you like a victorian vibe (like lysandre in sweet love) chose him.

06/10

Harvey

First impression: nerd,Basic of a doctor character, caretaker and Responsible .

Now: Very cool that he likes planes, it takes away that he is "just the doctor"

"not everyone can achieve their dreams and that's just the way the world is".

I like him a Lot, I don't understand how anyone could not like him.

Headcannon : He loves his mustache, a lot. If you were a man he would definitely be very happy to help you take care of your beard.

The "first time" he would be incredibly nervous, hands sweaty and stuttering.

Think of someone furious and worried when you don't come home by 11 pm.

Marriage : on the first date he takes you for a hot air balloon ride?! How awesome is that?He's overcoming his fear to do something amazing together.

He cooks and work a good job that He loves

Summary: quality malewife material

1000/10

Alex

First impression : Typical rebellious teenager: skates,a Band and junk food.

he seems chilli and cool.

Now: chilli and Nice dude,responsible For your brother though he still gets into trouble.

Headcannon: When participating in any of his ideas, always have the ambulance number ready.

When he gets drunk he sure does vary between a crybaby or someone who thinks he's immortal.

He does his best not to swear, especially around his brother. He often makes up words.

He's the most oblivious of the group, so take it easy with him, especially if you want to flirt.

I like to think that Jodi taught him how to play the guitar.

He would definitely be a radical and playful father.

Marriage: First "encounter" was weird but.. ok? Well , young thing I guess .

He gets hired to play in a children's cartoon, that's so cute.

BUT

He is a little lazy and a mommy's boy , u want to be a "family man" , but don't work and want to complain about a dirty house?

The door of the house is useful, you can use it.

Summary: 10/10 If friend 4/10 to marry

Sebastian

First impression : daddy issues yehooo, get the f out of that Room

gothic /emo generic kid.

Now: ok i get ,Demetrius sure has a favorite, but that's no reason to throw stones at Linus, you banana.

Headcannon:

Sam doesn't like frogs, he likes frogs, he picks up the frog and throws it at Sam.

Having frogs in the bedroom is a cool idea until they "sing" all night.But if it pisses off Demetrius, Sebastian is happy.

Marriage: First dates are one of the best, but cigarette breath ...i can't take it.

"Second date": frog.

Marrying him, he helps on the farm and makes coffee or a fucking JEWEL...or a Bat wing..cool.

Summary: He is a good friend and a great romantic partner, but keep in mind that he will complain a lot about Demetrius or family issues.

6/10

Shane

First impression : RUDE! U CAN EAT MY COW SHIT, Gross stinky Man.

If someone said that he is Sebastian's father, I would believe him

Now: cool uncle i guess, should have been in therapy a lot sooner, its good that he's feeling well.

Headcannon: Honestly I have no idea where he got blue chickens.

he smokes a lot,like, really.

Marriage: The room he adds IS DIRTY? GO WASH THAT FOOT WTF

I don't want to eat what he cooks, he shouldn't even wash his hands .

a new chicken coop And that's it.

Summary: like...I neither like nor dislike him, but I feel he's a dirty guy, and I don't like dirt.

It's good that he's on the mend, but I feel like he's not ready to get married.

4/10

give us your honest opinions on all of rainbow rocket, then. if you have time

Ooh, boy. Okay. Someone's going to show up at my house-

I do want to preface this by saying I don't agree with any of their actions relating to legendary pokémon. I'm talking about the person I interact with out of necessity at the meetings.

Maxie: Maxie's a bit... sharp around the edges. But he's not bad at all, really, once he trusts you a little bit. We've had our disagreements, sure. He really did not like me when we first met. We can talk, now. And it's nice.

Archie: Archie and I get along well! We have a similar outlook on a lot of things, especially on Giovanni's trapping methods. And he realizes now that his plans with Kyogre were a little... well, his intentions were good. Same as Maxie. The methods weren't. Archie is one of the few people at those meetings that does look out for me where he can, and I appreciate that.

Giovanni: Oh, Giovanni... I punched his lights out pretty recently. And it felt amazing. And I hated it. I hate being angry, I hate being violent when I don't need to be, but he just would not. Stop. Talking. And I needed him to shut up. I am so sick of the way he makes me feel, the way he makes me look to people around us- I hate that he makes me look stupid, makes me look weak. I despise the hold he has over me, and I hate that he won't tell me what he keeps me around more. ... I hate him.

Chairman Rose: Rose and I don't speak often. I barely even know what he does- he's not been at the meetings since I started attending, dealing with some 'personal issues' back in Galar. I really don't have a strong opinion either way on him.

Piers: I admire how he looks after N. I also admire his honesty. We don't talk much, but I think he's a good kid.

Ghetsis: I despise him. The way he treats both people and pokémon makes me sick. I healed his Hydreigon once after a battle, and it showed up at my house that night, that's how shit he is to it. He's a vile human being, and I don't know how Colress deals with him. He was almost nice to me once, when he made me a cup of tea, before promptly criticizing my husband for marrying a man. He also tried to kill my brother, and nearly killed me. Giovanni had to stop him.

N: Honestly, I don't really know what N is doing in our meetings. He's uncomfortable around Ghetsis, which is completely fair, and I don't think he even really wants to be there. I sit next to him. We have nice conversations. I gave him a fidget cube once when he was anxious, and he returned the favor at the next meeting. He's a good kid.

Colress: Colress is lovely. Redirecting his efforts to something beneficial now that he's not fully tied to Ghetsis is amazing, and he's genuinely just a lovely person. We've battled on occasion, and I've normally lost, but it's always a fun time. We play Scrabble together, and have a rule where you can spell words however you want. We are both dyslexic.

Lysandre: I have... mixed feelings on Lysandre. For reasons I can't really delve into. It would be unprofessional of me. I do want to say, though, that he never did anything to me directly. Of Rainbow Rocket, he is nowhere near the worst.

Lusamine: She was awful to her children, and I resent her for that. I'm also from Alola, and was visiting when she opened up the wormholes. She put my family in danger, and I resent that too. I know of nothing good she's ever done.

Cyrus: Cyrus is... complicated. One the one hand, he's friends with Kamiya (who I will get to, don't you fucking worry), but on the other, he's... decently pleasant when he visits. He comes over to my house every now and then, and we talk. I worry about him wandering the island so often. I hope he's alright.

Kamiya Sakoda: Where to fucking start with you, Kamiya? He helped me through my second divorce. Namely, he helped me realize the way my husband was treating me and my son. Let me stay at his house while I was figuring things out, and was generally helpful to me. Even set me up with my new husband. Then he got upset that my attention wasn't fully on him anymore. And he started being a dick. I had been hiding from my father, at the time- meeting with him and my brother occasionally, but not letting them know where I was staying. For my own safety. But they found out eventually, and dragged me out of my home to beat me. Twelve hours in, they called our family doctor (who just so happens to be Kamiya's fucking wife) so of course, he showed up. Carried me back to his house, insisted I stay for my own safety. Generally 'caring', when he wasn't hitting my injuries. Turns out, he was the one that told my father where I was. I was furious when I found out. Angry at him for doing such a thing, angry at myself for not seeing it coming- it was horrible. I'll never forgive him. For any of it.

Haruka: My ex-husband. The one Kamiya helped me get away from. I don't want to think about him.

Zero: Zero freaks me the fuck out. I'm sure that's probably his whole thing, but it works, and I don't like it. He's horrifying to look at, boring to talk to, and overall just not my cup of tea.

Lucio: Lucio is just plain unpleasant. He thinks he's better than he is, and it shows pathetically. His business is shady at best, and at worst, plain predatory. He also has an annoying habit of hurting people that work for me.

The Wingman | Jae

Jae’s late for pick-up at the daycare center and he worries his favourite teacher hates him now... That is, until his son accidentally saves the day.

Protagonists: Park Jaehyung & You (ft. his 4 yo son)

Word Count: 2k

Genre: SFW - Romance - Single Dad - [Drabble 2k]

Prompt: “That’s... Not mine?”

Requested by: @noona-clock, I hope you love this :D

DAY6 | M.list

As soon as his car comes to a halt in the empty parking lot, Jaehyung jumps to run in direction of the rainbow entrance. The gray commercial building, probably dating back to the 60s, would be as boring as it gets if it weren’t from said colourful door. Without slowing down, he pushes in, not even bothering to put on the designed slippers after kicking off his shoes.

“Bongbong?” He calls in the now empty place, breathless.

“Ahoy, Mr. Park,” you greet, emerging from the office and waving both of your hands his way.

You’re wearing an unusual accessory tonight; a black eyepatch over your right eye and he frowns in worry. Did you hurt yourself? Jae feels even worse now that he sees you’re here. You’re the new daycare teacher, and he finds you adorable. Of course, you’re the one who got stuck here with Jaebong because of him. As if reading his mind, you turn to look at the time on the digital clock above the playground. 7:15PM; it beams, taunting Jae. Ok, he’s never been this late for pick-up before, it’s bad. It’s a Friday night and he’s sure someone like you has better things to do than care for someone else’s son after-hours. You must hate him now.

He rubs his nape nervously. “Hum, it’s just Jae, actually.” It’s overly awkward being called by his last name since you’re around his age.

“Ahoy, Mr. Just-Jae.” You repeat, smile widening, and he finds himself staring, at a loss of words. What’s with the ‘ahoys’ and the eyepatch? “Your son is around, here somewhere, but you’ll have to fight him first.”

“I’m sorry to be so late,” confused, he takes a few steps inside the playroom, “I wasn’t supposed to be the o–”

“ARGH!” A high-pitched scream interrupts his excuses at the same time as something stings his right thigh. “All aboard!” When he looks down, Jae finds his son with a plastic cutlass and a way too large black pirate hat on. He’s standing inside a toy box where he was most probably hiding, waiting to ambush his father.

Oh… That is what’s going on with your eyepatch. The young boy is frowning threateningly, brows furrowed in a grimace mimicking disgust. He’s wearing eyeliner, and large lines are drawn across his face from the same pencil. What is probably meant to be a beard is traced on his chin, and a very impressing mustache is stretching on both sides of Bongbong’s mouth, ending up in curls on his cheeks. Someone should give you a raise for your imaginative makeup skills.

“There he is!” You say, pointing although it’s not obvious already. “Beware!”

“Jesus,” Jae mutters, struggling not to laugh too at this most unexpected sigh. Ultimately he decides to play along: “But... That’s… Not mine?”

“W-Wait what?” He raises his head in time to witness doubt and panic twist your soft features.

“My 4 years old had a lot less facial hair this morning...” He explains, making you laugh in relief. Jae grins, proud of himself, you’re even prettier when you’re laughing at his jokes. “That isn’t my son,” he points to the fierce pirate at his feet.

“I’m sorry, it’s nothing a little soap won’t wash away. We might have taken it a bit too far playin–”

“PIRATES!” Jaebong yells, slashing his leg once more, and this time Jae kneels at the hit, acting wounded. “I am Cap’n Bong, and I give no quarter!” Bongbong squeals when his father counterattacks, caging him for a tickle war. Losing, the boy laughs until he’s practically panting, struggling to say something Jae doesn’t quite catch. When he’s released, he repeats himself awfully serious; “You’re not mommy...”

Instantly, Jae’s smile straightens, remembering the reason why he’s so late. He wasn’t the one supposed to pick his son up at the daycare in the first place. His ex was supposed to spend the long weekend with him, but she called at the last minute saying something came up at work. Jaehyung had to cancel his plans and drop everything. He could’ve called his own family to help, but he didn’t want to burden them… Or for his mother to rant about his ex in front of his son.

“Mommy couldn’t fly back from Japan for the weekend... It’ll be just you and me, little buddy.” Jae glances your way, apologetic for the both of you. “I’m so sorry, daddy came straight from practice as soon as he knew.”

“That’s okay,” the little boy says sternly, dropping his pirate act altogether. He walks away to get rid of his toys and Jae groans, burying his face in hands, disheartened.

He wishes Bongbong wouldn’t be so calm about all this. He’s so used to being let down by people in his life all the damn time, already familiar with rejection. He’s only a child, he should get angry and cry, instead he just takes everything calmly. Jaehyung must damage control every time she screws up. All of this is eventually going to blow up.

“Is your wife away on a business trip?” You innocently ask, voice neutral. Jae notices you’re holding your purse and keys, ready to go out… With the eyepatch. Maybe you really hurt yourself and it wasn’t all for your brief pirating stunt.

“Um, yes... But she’s n–”

“Mommy isn’t daddy’s wifeeee!” Bongbong comes back trotting, grimacing at the apparently unthinkable, “EWWww!”

Your brows shoot up in surprise and Jae makes a weird sound, halfway between a snort and a chuckle at his theatrical ways. He totally got that from his side. “Oh, I’m sorr–”

“It’s alright. We’ve been separated for a long time.” He interrupts to reassure you, eager to move on. “It’s just us; the dream team.” Grabbing his son’s tiny hand, Jae pulls him towards the exit and begins to help putting on his shoes. “Let’s go, little buddy. Your teacher seems to have plans and we’re really lat–”

“I can!” Bongbong whines, snatching away the pricey Nike Air Max his uncle Younghyun got him. Nowadays, he hates whenever someone tries to help, but his father keeps forgetting. “That’s not true. Teacher doesn’t even have a boyfriend!”

Jaehyung bites down his lip as he slips on his own shoes, avoiding looking straight your way. You clear your throat, embarrassed. If Bongbong could score a (partially) toothless 4 years old ‘girlfriend’ on his first day of daycare... Jae is sure a grown woman like you has no problem finding a date on Friday night. Probably with a good man who isn’t a mess, and who doesn’t have to adapt his schedule around his young kid all the damn time.

“Girls don’t need boyfriends to have plans, Park Jaebong.” You fake-scold, ruffling the little boy’s hair, but he’s too concentrated on the Velcro tapes of his shoes to mind. Jae feels himself go all mushy at the sight. “But he’s right,” you add, clearly for the older Park, “I don’t have any...” As soon as you realise what you just said, your eyes round in dismay. “Plans, I m-mean, not a boyfriend! Euh, I’m not in a hurry… So, you can take your time, it’s really no trouble. As long as you come to pick him up, I’m fine.” Jae’s blood rushes to his brain as his heart begins to beat faster. You’re flustered, but he’s not sure why. Surely it has little to do with him. “But I don’t have one either… A boyfriend I mean…” His mouth opens in confusion at your clarification. “Nevermind, forget I said that.” You hurry to add, wincing before running a hand in your hair to mask your uneasiness. Jae breathes out, trying to make sense of the last 30 seconds. That was unnecessary right? You didn’t have to share that personal information with him.

“Do I get to have ice cream now?” Bongbong asks dryly, totally ignoring the general atmosphere between you two grown-ups. He stands back up to slide his hand into his father’s. Jae is thankful for the distraction, since he has no idea what to do with himself after what you said. The little boy turns to you to explain; “When mommy doesn’t make it, I get ice cream.”

“Yes.” Jae replies softly, somewhat ashamed to be exposed for bribing his son with sweets. “Anything you want.”

“Double chocolate.” Bongbong says without hesitation when his father holds the door for everyone to get out.

“Sure, double chocolate,” Jae agrees while you’re locking the daycare doors, “with chocolate sauce...”

“Yeaaaah!” His kid grins pleased with that small win. “Teacher, which flavour do you want?” Jae, who was starting to walk for his car, stops, suddenly frozen still. It seems his son misunderstood since you’re all leaving at the same time, “Buddy, I don’t think–”

“Daddy always eats cookie dough with chips in it…” Bongbong pulls his tongue out, unbothered. “No good!”

“Really?” You laugh and Jaehyung smiles despite himself, gazing at you a little too long. At least until he feels his face warm up, and he has to look elsewhere. You still haven’t moved to get to your own car. Should they walk you, or would that be too weird? “Strawberry ice cream is my favourite.”

Bongbong’s whole face lights up and he offers you a thumbs up, approving. “Can teacher come with us, daddy? Pleaaaaase…”

His son tugs at his hand, pleading, and Jae simply stares in awe. He didn’t expect this opportunity at all. “I, euh, I don’t know...” Jaebong’s got game. No wonder he’s the one with a girlfriend. “Do you want to join us for ice cream, Teacher y/n?” He risks, smiling dumbly when he says your actual name. Jae waits for your answer, heart racing as you toy with your keys. Shit, you’re hesitating. You’re probably weirded out by him even asking you that. Shit. Shit. He feels lightheaded, he’s about to make a joke to get out of it.

After an eternity, you choose to smile back, saying softly; “I never say no to ice cream, Mr Park.” Immediately, Bongbong cheers, starting to run for his father’s car without waiting for you two.

Breathless, Jae hovers, dancing from one foot to the other; “It’s just Jae actually.”

“Jae.” You try, and a shiver runs down his spine. “I’m just y/n.”

“That’s settled then.” He tries to stop smiling by biting his lower lip, but he fails. “There’s only one more thing, y/n…”

“What?” You ask, obviously nervous as you both start walking to join Jaebong.

“It’s not that I mind,” Jae inhales sharply, “But… Did you hurt your eye or–” You gasp in horror, realising something. “Oh my God!” Taking the pirate eyepatch off too fast, you get the elastic entangled in your hair. “That’s so embarrassing…” you groan, wincing. It must hurt when you pull at it, but in your panic, you don’t seem to mind at all.

“It’s nothing,” Jae chuckles, choosing to ease you by making fun of himself, “imagine needing your 4-year-old to help you ask–”

“DADDYYYY!” Bongbong interrupts loudly, tugging at the car’s back door in repetition. “IT’S LOCKED!” He ruins the moment. “OPEEEN!”

Jae shuts his eyes, dispirited, and you burst out laughing, bringing a hand to cover your mouth. When you’re done, you roll your eyes at him and he shrugs, unlocking the doors with his remote. Perhaps Bongbong is still a bit too young to have reached his full potential as a wingman after all. One thing is sure though, thanks to him you’re getting ice cream together…

And it sounds like a much more promising Friday night than what Jae could’ve ever hoped for.

New Message from the Masters Team!

A new Paulo Interlude, Justice Without Power, has been added. Also, I'm curious who the next Villain Arc chapter will focus on, since it's confirmed we're getting our next Villain arc chapter in mid-May. They say it focuses on a new region, so my guess is Lys, given how tense Sycamore seems with Zygarde's appearance. And tho they've only added Gio and Cyrus so far, that's also the path they went with for villain introduction events (barring Lusamine and Guzma since they aren't villains in Masters. Yet.) Following that pattern, Lysandre just feels right.

The hatch guage has been removed. You no longer need to win battles to hatch eggs. The maximum number of Eggs that can be placed in an Incubator via the auto-incubate feature has been increased from four to eight if you purchased an Eggcelerator Pass.

A few changed voice lines for our previous Easter Pairs, as well as them planning to add more special voiced lines for putting certain teams together or completing areas with select team compositions (which has excellent potential for characters like Ingo and Emmet and whoever's third-wheeling on their team, or heroes and main villain team comps. I'm imagining every Unovan protagonist shit-talking Ghetsis if he's placed on their team.)

A new button to take you directly from the Event Selection screen to Event Missions screen will be added in the near future.

A learnable Lucky Skills button will be added that tells you what skills you can obtain from the various kinds of cookies.

The Costume Event Curious Tea Party will begin Mar31, and adds Lillie and Polteageist as a Ghost-type support pair. A riddle event also starts Apr7, adding a riddle daily until Apr26 (20 missions total). If all the riddles are solved, you earn 60x 5⭐ Scout Tickets, 6000 gems, and a Medal.

As stated in the last message, they plan on adding content where you can interact with other players. It's not ready yet, but they hope this concept art shows more of the world they're trying to create with this content.

They plan to add a feature that reminds you of the types you haven't yet used in the Champion's Stadium when you're building your team. (Only Poison, personally.)

Also, a new button to see how many items you have for breaking level caps.

New jukebox songs are coming!

Next update and message scheduled for late April!

Here's the Events schedule via Reddit:

#pokemon masters #pokemas #rival paulo #pokemon paulo #pokemon rivals #pokemon villains #pokemon lillie #pokemon sun and moon

While thinking about the Kalos Elite 4, and reading your musings, I wondered what else could change in the League. Maybe the Battle Chateau becomes much more accessible? Less paperwork necessary, less money to buy certain items, challenges don't go always with ranks. Phoenix could head it if he doesn't become part of the Elite 4, a different kind of FU to Malva. Malva who supported Lysandre with his vision gone corrupt to only include the 'most beautiful' as in the most rich.

Oh that's an interesting idea!

I remember the battle chateau being filled with the rich trainer classes/ those that look classy enough to be there. It does contribute to potential classism that's within Kalos( which also factors into the 'beauty' thing). I won't be surprised that things within Kalos shake up a bit, especially with Lysandre from before ( and when Jude becomes champion themselves). The Battle Chateau would be a great place to start being a sign of wealth/ power. It being more accessible to people would break down those wealthy walls.

And yes, a BIG FU to Malva from Phoenix if he doesn't get chosen as the E4 member. Giselle would probably be interested too, given her "Queen Bee" thing, but honestly, she probably would go there to unwind when work gets stressful, and with little rankings, she's honestly there to have fun :)

I can't think of other Kalos things that would be changed with the new league, other than the public status quo being shaken- oh wait the fashion industry. Like how they tell you your not beautiful enough to shop at there stores? Yeah, even before Jude becomes champion, those stores will get a LOT of backlash. When Jude becomes champion, they will face their wrath😊. It helps that the potential E4 members aren't all conventional beautiful ( body shape, pokemon type etc) so it makes those people like them feel more comfortable in themselves, and thus demanding these brands to get their shit together and stop being elitist. ( Valerie might be a mix bag, cause I believe that her fashion caters to all, but given of ' what's in demand' she can't really express that. But people who have worked with her, like Nyx, can advocate on her behave)

Okay, now I can't think of anything else. It might come to me later but for now these are really good concepts! Kalos is gonna go through a lot, I'll tell you that! Thanks for the idea!

#r answers #legendverse #jude got rejected from the shop in Lumiouse City and has held a grudge ever since #' not beautiful enough' my ass

So, this is what people meant when they said their heart was in their mouth. Even Eternatus hadn’t managed to inspire this level of fear in him.

He hadn’t needed the hint to figure out who this mysterious caller was. There was only one person maniacal enough to kidnap someone in their home and then brag about it, and only one person who’d dare to oppose the Knight of Kalos in general. And as he stares at his screen, willing another call to come through, another text, anything, he feels his Rocket mask shatter. Whatever Noel had been, he sure as fuck wasn’t here anymore, and Leon did the one thing he should have done the second he even considered donning this hideous uniform.

He ran.

He sprinted through the halls like Giratina itself was at his heels, barely remembering to press the button on Charizard’s pokeball before he threw it metres ahead. It occurs to him now that he doesn’t have any idea where he’s going - their home would already be empty, and Lysandre may be insane but he wasn’t stupid enough to leave behind traces of his destination, so the only place left was... what?

Diantha? ...Don’t be stupid, Leon.

Her parent’s home? A possibility, but he doubted they’d take too kindly to an (ex?) Rocket showing up on their doorstep.

Guzma crossed his mind, too, but to get him involved would be to sign his death warrant. Possibly sign the warrants of all of his loved ones, too. And flying to Alola would take time he couldn’t afford to waste.

That only left the Professor. Not someone who would have been Leon’s first choice, but desperate times called for desperate measures and Augustine did, at least, have some knowledge about Lysandre. Perhaps he’d know where to start the search.

They’re flying now, zipping through the skies before anyone could notice Noel’s sudden disappearance. He was still low on the ranks, unimportant, and wouldn’t be missed for a while yet. And by that time, he’d be across oceans and on the warpath he’d been trying so hard to guide Rocket onto.

He always had to do everything himself, it seemed.

And do it himself he would. He would burn through every single pocket of Flare until only Lysandre was left alive, and then he would finish the job Reggie started. Flare would die by his hand, and this time there would be no acts of mercy to save their fanatical leader.

Eternatus’ deepest scar thrums in time with his panicked heart, a constant drumbeat willing him and his dearest pokemon forward, and Leon cast a single plea upwards to whatever deity may be listening that his arrival doesn’t arrive too late. The voicemail had assured him that she would be kept alive, but the words of a madman were never to be trusted.

❝ Please, baby, hold on for me. I’m coming as fast as I can. ❞

He pulls out his phone, the brick of a burner thing he’d got for the sake of privacy, not that it had done much to help. With the way things have gone, he may as well have sent a letter straight to Flare detailing his plan and his home address.

...Could there be Flare agents in Rocket? Is that how he’d been found out?

Giovanni didn’t know of his plan, he was sure of it, so how had Lysandre heard? Could he-

He shook his head to disrail that train of thought. Not the time! For now he dialled another one of his memorised numbers and waited for voicemail.

❝ Sycamore, it’s Leon. I don’t know what you’ve been told or what you think of me, but you are going to put that shit aside and help me. We can talk about it afterwards, assuming the world hasn’t been wiped clean by then. ❞

❝ Right now? I expect you to get your fucking act together because our time has well and truly run out. Call me back once you get this. ❞

#( 👑 ) what fearless hand dare seize the fire? / ic #( 👑 ) what you see is never what you're gonna get when you’ve got everybody playing revolution roulette / v; rocket #in case you've wondered what makes leon leave rocket: this is it lads #nothing like a kidnapping and potential end of the world to make you realise your mistakes

Medea Plays Pokemon Sword: Part IV

So since last time, I earned my eighth and final badge and so I can compete in the Challenger’s Cup.

So...no Elite Four?

Not to complain, but even Alola had an Elite Four.

Instead, we get something that’s almost similar to what the anime does during Pokemon League arcs. Whatever! Off to Wyndon...

You’re not fooling anybody. This is fucking London!

Huh.

I seem to recall obtaining an in-game trade during the Red/Blue games involving a Mr. Mime with that exact, same name.

Nice call-back, guys.

What the shit?

I would not put the fat squirrely with the apple pokemon in the same room.

Fat Squirrely can’t be trusted.

Well, before I go to the stadium, I think it’s time I do some last-minute training and exploring in the wild area again.

And flee for my life! Gallade is a fast fucker. Meanwhile...

Gardevoir doesn’t chase me. I guess some pokemon aren’t scary in this area.

And then this happened...

A trainer by the name of Tracey gave me something in his pocket and disappeared.

*sniffles*

Life just loves to give me an invisible Tracey. Life, thou art cruel.

Oh yeah, because it was Thanksgiving a few days ago, I thought I would have a few family get-togethers.

Father Zoro and daughter Rei were quite peaceful during their time together.

Then I got a bunch of Eeveelutions together (they’re all brothers and sisters btw).

Mic liked what Leafy’s done with his hair.

And Bolt kept challenging everyone to a race.

Pokedex entry time?

Nice, you made that reference! At least this reference didn’t involve a Dubwool being turned inside-out like in South Park.

So...it’s doing self-harm in order to “play” the guitar. Dang!

Okay, time for Champion Cup!

FINALLY, SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME!

I have my own speculations of who the dude might be. Right now, the top choices are Professor Oak, Samson Oak, or that one guy at an anime convention that dresses like a buff Diglett.

First match is against Marnie. I kicked her butt.

And then I put Hop in his place (for the whatever number it was) time.

After two battles, the champion decided to pay us a visit.

Not before hamming it up for the peanut gallery. Hey, at least he’s treating us to dinner. However...

Turns out Leon is with the chairman.

This is awesome. Piers, Marnie, and the fat bastards of Team Yell are going to team up with us.

As expected, I can’t trust this bitch. And I was right to believe so because she has hired goons to “take care” of us at every turn.

And what have we learned from the Red/Blue games? Never trust a goon who’s staring at a wall or poster on a wall.

We end up at the monorail station with more of Oleana’s hired goons blocking our path. This looks like a job for Piers!

I just love how he pulls out a microphone out of literally nowhere and starts singing in the middle of the station.

It worked though.

See, even Marnie is suspicious. This guy has gotta be a shifty mother fucker!

Yeah, this is totally not an innocent meetup between Rose and Leon.

Oleana’s hired goons are totally threatening. I think the bloke on the right really wants my corpse.

Why, do you plan on throwing our bodies off the edge?

Your hired goons all had steel-type pokemon. My level 70 Cinderace laid waste to these fuckers in 5 minutes or less.

Jesus Shit!

Okay, if the anime ever gets to this plot, PLEASE have Oleana be played by Miki Itou.

See, I knew this woman and the chairman are full of garbage. And to add to my point...

This bitch has a pile of garbage as a dynamaxed pokemon.

Called it.

Lysandre and Cyrus vibes, guys! Come on, I called it months ago that this guy was going to be the bad guy!

Anyone else still trust this guy? Show of hands!

OH FUCK ME, NOT THIS TURD AGAIN!

Okay kid, let’s see if you can redeem yourself.

Blaming me for shit that was your own fault. Yeah, I still hate you. But you’re down a few tiers, so there’s an improvement.

But you’re still at the same shit-level as Dilandau Albatou. You two both desperately need a punch in the face.

After that little disruption, on with the actual battles.

Okay, I’m on board with shipping Sonia x Nessa.

After taking on Nessa. I took out Bea...

And Raihan’s selfie-obsessed ass!

So now it’s time to take on the big ham, Leon.

Or not!

Oh gee, this guy is the bad guy. Who could have seen this coming?

Um, I did. The second he was shown in the PV, I knew this fucker was bad news. I don’t mean to lay it on thick, but...

This.

Afterward...

Hop and I returned to that spot near Route 1 and run into legendary doggos.

And go grave-robbing (taking the sword/shield on the ground).

When we went to Hammerlocke, we came across some actual concern.

You sent literal hired goons to try and shut me down. I’ll deal with you later, lady. Right now, I gotta take down this genocidal dickhead.

I have to admit, I expected more from Chairman Rose and the Marco Cosmos group in this game. I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but it feels a little light compared to a lot of the other bad teams in the past, and that includes Team Skull and Aether Foundation.

So after I kicked the chairman’s ass in a battle, we came across this hammy dumbass doing something stupid.

He tried to catch a mythical beast in a regular pokeball.

This. This is what happens when you try to do that.

Plus, you’re up against Satan’s tapeworm here.

Now we gotta take care of this demonic fucker and I can’t even use an attack on it.

This looks like a job for the legendary doggos!

They take the rusted sword and shield and turned into the actual promotional legendaries we know them for.

And after a long battle, I caught it...

With what you’re supposed to use! Geez, even Brandon in Pokemon Generations had enough sense to use an Ultra Ball on a Deoxys.

I guess homie’s gonna be in the slammer for some time.

Oh well, on with the final match.

Take a seat, junior. It’s time for me to take your ass out to the cleaners.

Yeah, kinda make sure your pokemon are higher than this level.

Regardless, I still won.

I made a grown man cry!

Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure I’m way older than Leon by at least 10-15 years. That would probably look bad, but whatever.

He shook it off.

Thank you. Now hopefully he’ll stop acting like a show-boating, ham every time he’s in front of a crowd.

Oh nice, my “mum” came with Munchlax.

I gotta do this.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

NO TIME FOR LOSERS

BECAUSE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

Or is it?

To be continued.

In that disney movie AU you mentioned earlier, which disney couples would the kids' parents be?

Some of these got a bit AU in their portrayal of these couples, but I based it more on the situation I wanted to see them in. I also only did who I consider the “Main 6 Protagonists” (sorry Nate and Sun/Elio)

Flynn Rider/Eugene: GreenRapunzel: RedThis is mainly due to the fact Green would make an excellent Flynn. Haughty rogue who’s full of himself and initially irritated at Red, but grows as a person as the two travel together. Red would have long crimson hair (which would turn his canon hair color once it is cut) and is actually “named” Red by the stand-in Gothel due to his hair color. Thus, Red is the one not going by his birth name, even if it’s unintentional on his part. This also makes it less obvious to the people they meet along their journey that he’s the kidnapped prince.

Aladdin: EthanJasmine: LanceShouldn’t this be reversed, you say, but hear me out. Lance is the next-in-line heir who often disguises himself and leaves the palace, wanting to see how his people truly live so that one day, he can be a just and effective ruler. Ethan is a street urchin he meets while exploring the city one day, and while Ethan is very much enamored at first sight by Lance, Lance mainly thinks he’s interesting to talk to (since he sees a side of the city Lance will never know). Lance is subsequently pissed when he thinks Giovanni (stand-in for Jaffar) has Ethan executed despite his direct orders. Events play out similarly to the film (with Lyra as Genie/ultimate wingman) and Lyra is the one to suggest that Ethan wishes to be a prince (since once Ethan tells her his story of how he got there, she’s all “I’m gonna help you get your man!” and Ethan does want to see Lance again, so he goes along with it because why not). Lance is hella suspicious initially, since not only was he told Ethan was killed, but there’s no way the boy he met on the streets was secretly a prince. He doesn’t throw him out though because he wants to figure out what’s going on. Events ensue, the two grow closer, and eventually they have to put a stop to Giovanni’s plot to take over the kingdom once he steals Lyra’s lamp (there might be a “generous offer” about letting them both be concubines in his harem, since clearly he’s a nice enough guy to let them be together in some capacity). They manage to outsmart Giovanni in the end and they both live happily ever after (with Lyra being set free with Ethan’s final wish, of course).

Huntsmen: BrendanSnow White: WallyYes, it’s a changed endgame couple, but let’s be real, Brendan would be way more involved then just kissing some comatose/dead boy he randomly comes across in the woods. Plus, I like the “Snow White and the Huntsman” movie, so I was taking cues from that film. Brendan is a bit more morally ambiguous in this, being hired by the Queen to dispose of Wally (she claims it’s for the good of the kingdom, him being a threat to stability. Plus, the reward she’s offering is nothing to scoff at). But after tracking down Wally, he can’t kill him because he can tell something is off about what he’s been told (plus his pure pureness is too overwhelming, he just can’t do it). Brendan helps him the rest of the way through the woods and takes him to a group of dwarfs he sometimes trades with. Brendan returns to the Queen doing the whole “animal heart in a box” trick before returning to his woods. He continues to meet up with Wally, wanting to see how he’s adjusting and the two grow closer as they continue to meet (and do confess their feelings for each other before the Queen shows up to wreck shit). Once the Queen finds out Wally is still alive, she vows to kill both of them and hatches a similar plot as in the Disney movie, planning to take out Wally first. Brendan and the dwarfs all fight to protect Wally, but not before Wally foolishly takes a bite from the poisoned apple. They kill the Queen, but realizing they’re too late, mourn Wally’s passing and start setting up a funeral for him. Brendan gives Wally once last goodbye kiss, which wakes him from his presumed death (but was actually just a curse) and while everyone initially freaks out, they’re all overjoyed and live happily ever after.

Tarzan: BarryJane/actually-sorta-Clayton: LucasDoes anyone remember that early Pokemon episode where the dad accidentally drops his kid out of a plane, but instead of the kid dying on impact with the ground, he’s instead raised by Kangaskhan? Since the kid was a pretty obvious reference to Tarzan in that episode, I was thinking of something similar for this AU, so that Barry’s parents aren’t actually dead and there would be the possibility of meeting them again one day (good job dropping your son out of a plane though, Palmer). But instead of a group of Kangaskhan raising him, it would be a group of Infernapes. Lucas isn’t truly Jane in this, Dawn being the one who’s a researcher on an expedition with Rowan, Lucas being her best friend and the survival expert in the group (so more a non evil version of Clayton). The two tag team on trying to teach Barry how to speak and behave more “civilly” while Rowan’s in the background all like “this isn’t why we came here,” but does find Barry endearing. Since Lucas isn’t the antagonist in this, trouble comes in the form of a different group of poachers who are after the Infernapes Barry lives with. They manage to stop the poachers, but instead of Lucas remaining behind in the jungle with Barry, Barry leaves the jungle to return with Lucas to his homeland.

Esmeralda: HilbertQuasimodo: NAnother different endgame pairing, but I saw a post once that got me stuck on this idea. Ghetsis as Frollo also works really well, plus since I have bad tastes, I’ve always liked the idea of Ghetsis being creepily into Hilbert. For N, I see it less as him being physically deformed (although he likely walks oddly if we’re going with the idea he’d hunch his back like an animal), but more his issues stem from Ghetsis constantly demeaning him and making him feel inhuman, combined with no social skills. Hilbert would still be a Romani entertainer, but rather than a dancer, he’s more of a storyteller through performance, similar to Clopin in the original film. The events of the story would play out similarly to the film, but rather than falling in love with stand-in Phoebus (who’d be Cheren), Hilbert falls in love with N, ending the film by wanting to explore the world with him, showing him all the things he’s never been able to experience before.

Hercules: TiernoMeg: CalemThis one is based more on my characterization of Calem being very fitting for Meg. Jaded, cynical, with a flirtatious edge, he thinks very little of Tierno on their first meeting. It’s only through interacting more with him that he comes to see Tierno genuinely has a good and kind heart and comes to develop feelings for him in turn. Anyone who says Tierno can’t be Hercules can fight me, since not only does he have the heart for it, but it’d be quite easy to add some muscle to his build and you’d get a beefy fighter. Who has a rather dance-battler style of fighting. Featuring Serena as the sarcastic Philoctetes who’s the one to initially suggest the whole “dance battle” technique (as it inexplicably makes Tierno better at dodging attacks) and Lysandre as Hades (who has quite the history with Calem).

romance headcanons.

→ repost, do not reblog.

((FOREWARNING I do mention a protag ship as well as an incest ship, but aside one or two other implications it only comes up once I think. Also this is a fucking mess so it’s under a cut. Someday I’ll write concisely but today is not that day!))

name: Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius nickname: Ghetsis; G-Cis; Lord Ghetsis; [Holy] Father gender: Male romantic orientation: Debateable. Gray-Aromantic? May not experience romantic attraction, but enjoys or will get into relationships to some degree. Will definitely indulge someone’s feelings for fun. preferred pet names: Lord. Master. Sir. Father. Basically, if it’s a dominance-expressing petname, he’s good with it. Depending on who it’s from something like ‘dear’ could also be acceptable.

relationship status: Single, but has or has had repeated partners and hookups. May be or have had been married in some verses? favorite canon ship(s): Canon as in officially shown or implied? The closest we’d have is probably Ghetsis/Zinzolin lmao. . . . favorite non-canon ship(s) so far: I mean I ship more or less anything as long as it’s interesting/has potential and my muse wants to roll with it but. I fuckin love me some Ghetsis/Hilda. Ghetsis/Zinzolin, Giovanni/Ghetsis, Lysandre/Ghetsis, a hard to explain one but I like the concept of like Ghetsis/Reader, not in that I’m the ‘reader’ but that the reader is a ‘fan’, grunt, etc, so I guess Ghetsis/ghetsis fandom, and I have a real big ‘guilty’(read: i enjoy it and it’s harmless fiction so i don’t really feel that guilty, but people will definitely be real unhappy to hear it but fuck it it’s not like I’m forcing it on anybody) love for Ghetsis/N or other members of his family. But Ghetsis goes well with like everybody tbh depending on what you’re after. opinion on true love: Ghetsis finds that romantic feelings are, in general, for weaker persons. True love is self-love, and letting yourself love or enjoy as many others as you’d like. Of course, true love directed at him isn’t shameful or pathetic at all, and if he finds himself attached to somebody. . .well, he’ll admit to feeling weak for them, but it’s not something that makes him in any way less perfect.

opinion on love at first sight: You’ll love him at first sight. How weak do you have to be to just see somebody and be romantically infatuated with them? You don’t even know anything about them. Pathetic. You’re going to get yourself into trouble, silly pet!

how ‘romantic’ are they?: MMMMMMM Ghetsis is. . .willing to be romantic and would probably enjoy doing so because it makes him feel impressive. Plus, pleasing a partner or object of affection increases the likelihood they’ll be attached to him, and thus he can benefit off of or use them for longer. . . . So if you mean like in terms of reasoning, uh, he’s not super prone to thinking about other people more than himself at all. .. but in terms of actions and what he’ll be willing to do, he’s gonna be a big show-off and treat you real nice and spoil you.

ideal physical traits: Smaller and/or physically weaker than him. Feminine, especially with long hair, especially girls with long hair. Shapely/curvy girls are good. Healthy, strong, but weaker than him--strong enough to put up a fight, maybe. Expressive--shows a lot of emotion and reacts openly. Traditionally attractive, especially in a feminine way? I imagine he’s oddly attracted to people he can identify as having similar features to himself. . .not sure if that’s narcissism or something else entirely. But, to be honest, he’s not too picky--he’ll act like he is, and he’ll certainly talk like he is, but. . .so far he isn’t. female: No specifics

male: No specifics ideal personality traits: Intelligent. Submissive. Expressive. Eager to please. Interesting. Fighty. Honestly, he’s attracted to people who’re either easy to use or hard to get. Depends on how hard he wants to work for it. To an extent, materialistic--being easily won over with expensive things and fancy dates. Clingy. Loyal. Faithful. Lost. Exploitable.

unattractive physical traits: In general he’s more attracted to traditionally attractive people, so if you’re traditionally unattractive, he’s fairly likely to be offput by it? Unhealthy, unclean, generally not caring about your appearance at all? But he remains not too picky. If you’re unattractive in some way, it just makes him look better--and gives him something to hold over you. So he won’t be too bothered by it unless you’re, like, disgusting in some way he doesn’t want to put up with.

unattractive personality traits: If you aren’t obedient, subservient, willing and/or wanting to see him as your superior, try and dominate him (and not have anything worth him letting you do so for,) etc. . .well, you’ll have lower chances. Unintelligent(and yet, you’d be so much easier to mess with if you were. . .) Gossipy, bad at keeping secrets(bragging is okay, telling the world his plans is not--it’s okay if you tell him about what other people do, though, that’s fine.) Bossy, although he’s willing to put up with some of this. . .it’s hard to say, because he’s interested in people who’re subservient to him or express a lot of interest in him, but also in people he’d have to chase/who he’d have to struggle to have. . .but if you intend to get in the way of his plans or you’re uninteresting(and not physically appealing or you don’t have anything to offer/for him to gain, if you try and, like, overthrow him or take command of him without him seeing benefit to it(for example, RR!Giovanni is allowed to dominate and order him around because Ghetsis wants him to feel in charge to better take advantage of him) then you’re gonna have a harder time getting his interest.

ideal date: He loves to spoil a motherfucker. Fancy restaurants, shows, trips, whatever you’d like as long as he won’t hate it himself. Also, spending time at his castle, lavishing him--uh, you in attention and affection, parading you around, evangelizing and liberating Pokémon together, things that mean he gets to show off. . .he’d probably like an escape room if you were competent enough not to infuriate him through the whole process. Although, in his current, fragile, sickly, weakened state. . .the idea of something simple like a walk outside, going to a park, something lowkey seems especially nice. . .but also if you just stay in and hang out, that’s good too. He’s not so open with it, but since he’s not in his usual position of power, he’s a lot happier than he lets on if you’re just. . .with him.

do they have a type?: Weak-willed men and spunky women. Or something like that lol. People he can gain something from. People he can’t have? He may have incestuous personality disorder???? i have it in my head that he’s somewhat attracted to his own family due to having this understanding of historical royal families intermingling to keep their bloodlines ‘pure’. But it’s not an active part of the blog character, like you’d probably never find out if I hadn’t said it just now, yeah?

average relationship length: Until he gets bored or you outlive your usefulness or you break up with him when you realize he’s abusing you. So, like, hookups are regular, but if they don’t count. . .a few months to a year. But it’s probably not exclusive. On his end. If you’re fucking somebody else and finds out rather than you just telling him. . .he probably won’t be too pleased about it.

preferred non-sexual intimacy: Worship him. Obey him. Being leaned against. Being held onto. Putting an arm around you or on your lower back or near your neck as if leading you or showing possessiveness of you. Being kissed. Petting on the hair and back and so on. Whispering. Leaving marks. Things that make you respond, especially if they fluster you.

commitment level: You belong to him now. You are his until he's no longer interested. It likely won’t be an exclusive ordeal, but you’re stuck with him until he decides otherwise. Even if you leave him, expect him to pursue unless you have reason to believe he’s lost interest. Then again, choosing to leave may spark his interest in chasing you. . . .

opinion of public affection: Public affection is an expression of his ownership of you and of your affection towards and desire of him. It’s good shit. He’s into it. Expect surprise kisses, his arm around you, holding your hand if he’s able, close proximity and disregard of your personal space, pulling you into his lap, him openly referring to you as being his or with him. . . .

past relationships?: He’s definitely had plenty. I say he and Zinzolin definitely had some kind of D/s shit going on. I’m open to other preestablishments too, if they can be explained in some way.

tagged by: everybody’s doing it, so I stole it from everyone tagging: Do things I would do, like steal memes. But not things that I would do like accidentally use the ‘post’ keyboard shortcut before you even finished clearing the formatting of the post. Don’t do that.

In your opinion- Best and Worst Pokemon antagonists?

Best: I love Team Skull to death as the goofy loveable motherfuckers they are with YA BOI GUZMA, but ultimately, Team Plasma beats them out by virtue of far stronger writing

Let’s start with Plasma, and I’m only going off of Black 1 here: Team Plasma works because they’re a legitimate threat. In-universe, they’re treated as a serious movement, rather than jokes like say, Team Flare or Team Skull (Though it works for the latter) and it’s helped by their surface motivation, which to many players, resonated deeply for a reason. It makes sense and makes you think about how people and pokemon interact. Their designs, inspired by european knights, reflect their seemingly noble intentions.

This isn’t even going into N and Ghestis, the former of whom is my favorite character in all of Pokemon, and who I think is the true rival of Pokemon Black and White. The fact that not only does he truly believe he is right, but that THE LEGENDARY DRAGON RECOGNIZES HIM AS A HERO lends credence to the idea that Team Plasma may have a point. His eccentricities, such as the fact he always has a different team when battling you, which follows Team Plasma’s creed, his faster than normal speech, and obsession with math, make him incredibl memorable, alongside his AMAZING battle themes. Said aforementioned dragon also leads into what I think is the best final boss in the franchise’s history, where he has a legitimately brutal team that makes it feel like a true final battle. And his last goodbye with the well wishes towards the player and the hopes to make a brighter future are honestly touching. N is a fucking FANTASTIC foil to the main character, which helps offset the fact the protag is always a blank slate

Ghestis on the other hand, is a great villain who, while not as developed as N, still leaves a great impression on the player. He plays the part of the dictator perfectly, projecting his charisma on the people and the members of Team Plasma as well, hiding his true, albeit generic, intentions. He’s such a teeth-grindingly hateable motherfucker that the likes of Lysandre fucking WISHED they could be, berating his own son, calling him worthless, implied ABUSE, and just a general veneer of “I’m better than everyone else” backed by one of the absolute most brutal final story bosses in pokemon history up to that point. He’s one of the few pokemon villains to legitimately make me angry at how much of a cunt they are (in the “wow they’re written well” way not the “you are TRASH” way)

All of these elements come together to create what I believe to be the true high bar for villains in the Pokemon franchise

Worst: And then there’s Team Flare. Team Flare fucking sucks, and it says something I can barely remember what they DID for most of X/Y. Their designs are lame and don’t really hint at their true motivation (Make the world beautiful or whatever, it was dumb). Lysandre himself is boring as shit, and makes it clear from his first introduction that he’s cartoonishly evil (You may say Ghestis did the same, but A: better writing and B: N did not). He wants to kill everyone because blah blah blah people are evil. It’s a motivation that was done kind of better by Lusamine.

Even the raid on their base is fucking LAME, and that’s saying something since most villain base raids in the games are memorable and awesome as fuck (With Black and White replacing hordes of minions with some damn memorable scenes and music) since all you really do is fight Lysandre, fight the legendary, and fight him again in a match that basically guarentees you the win since the game gifted you a goddamn legendary, and his team is fucking BORING AS SHIT. Then he just kinda dies after being sad for a bit and that’s it, that’s Team Flare outside of the dumb sidequest post game that goes nowhere and hinting that Malva was part of the team that ALSO goes nowhere.

See how little I had to say about Flare compared to Plasma? I could say more about Galactic and I NEVER EVEN PLAYED GEN 4. I can say more about a team from a game I never PLAYED than one I beat week one.

Team Flare sucks ass. I hear they’re better in the manga but in general they’re so goddamn underwhelming and they’re yet another example of a team that’s “You beat them hooray now go get the last badge and beat the champion” which after Black and White was so LAME

we know how you feel abt cyrus, but what's your take on the other pokebosses, like ghetsis or giovanni?? if you don't mind sharing

STRAP IN GUYS, GALS, AND NB PALS:

Giovanni:

honestly the strongest villain narrative-wise. The biggest issue I have with villains in Pokemon is that they don’t really tie into the player’s goals and therefore are not true counter-forces to the player. Giovanni, being a Gym Leader and therefore an obstacle to prevent you from finishing your main quest, is the most effective boss as a result.

But I haven’t finished playing Blue on the 3DS port and I barely watched the anime so my only real exposure to Giovanni directly is via Generations and his limited appearances in HGSS and USUM.

Although I love Silver and seeing him try so hard to distance himself from Team Rocket and his father’s legacy is really interesting and creates great drama aha.

Archie:

water dad is best dad. He really feels like a cool science teacher, honestly. He tries to convince you to back off but he knows you’re gonna come after him so just tries to have fun with it.He almost makes me think of McCree from Overwatch; super smart and could totally kick your ass but has mastered the art of pretending to be an idiot so people lower their guard around him.

As much as I love his design in ORAS, he really is over-designed to the point that it’s kinda distracting. I want to stress that I love his character and I personally really like the design but it’s still kinda… yeah…

And honestly his goals are so ridiculous??? “Humans are assholes so I’m gonna fuck over every other Pokemon species that can’t survive in water.” Archie, honey, I know you’re trying, but please think this through a little more.

Maxie:

i aim for maxie’s level of extra. Seriously, he decorates his base with GLOWING DEADLY LAVA TUBES just for aesthetic. He needs to scare off a kid who’s messing with his plans? “I’ll bury you with my bare hands, don’t test me, you little shit.” Also his voice in Generations is really gooooooooooooood………

And his design is really good??? In ORAS at least. Like, his TURTLENECK LEGGINGS + SHORTS COMBO are fucking stupid, but overall it’s pretty decent. In RSE he looks like he’s about fifty and struggling to get through his eighth mid-life crisis.

HIS PLAN IS EQUALLY SILLY. “I’ll make Groudon increase the power of the sun so that the oceans dry up!” That’s… That’s not even slightly how it works, Maxie, for God’s sake, you’re a scientist, you should know this.

not gonna talk about cyrus because i ramble about him enough already lmao

Ghetsis:

FUCK THIS GUY HOLY SHIT I HATE HIM SO MUCH HE’S SUCH A GOOD BADDIE BUT HOLY GOD I HATE HIM. His Hydreigon (which is hacked btw because Hydreigon don’t evolve until level 64) has a full-powered Frustration and is probably the reason he’s missing an arm… or at least it’s so fucked-up that he keeps it under that carpet he calls a cape.

BUT GOD HE’S SUCH A PIECE OF SHIT. The way he talks to N makes me so angry. I legit had to stop playing to calm down when I played through the first time. He reminded me way too much of personal issues that I won’t delve into here but yikes.

He’s also kinda over-designed but that’s more just me trying to find issues with him so I can hate him more lmao. As if the list of reasons wasn’t long enough.

Lysandre:

talk about wasted potential. I have no idea if he’s utilized better in the anime but in the games he’s probably the weakest boss we’ve had so far? He complains about why humanity is making the world ugly but we’re never shown what happened to him to make him think that way??? He’s just some rich asshole who’s mad that things aren’t the way he wants them to be??? You wanna join his squad of people who wanna make the world pretty? Sure! Just pay £1 million or whatever it was…

And he has history with Professor Sycamore??? Why couldn’t we explore that? That would’ve been way more interesting than the 72 extra side characters we had in Kalos who didn’t really do anything??? Why do we have so many side characters when we have barely developed our main antagonist???

I will say this much though, his suit is fucking great, 10/10, who is your tailor? can I hire them? damn son…

Guzma:

IT’S YA BOI. I love him??? So much??? He really cares about his team but showing a soft-side kinda ruins the image he works so hard to maintain so he’s gonna be a grump about it. He’s trying so hard to look cool and tough and gain approval from others that he makes self-destructive decisions and ends up being manipulated into helping with some super shady multi-dimensional bullshit. Honestly same. But seriously, it makes me sad that he wasn’t expanded on as much as he could’ve been in USUM.

HIS DESIGN IS SO GOOD. It really represents him as a character perfectly. Also, any fanart that has him standing up straight to be taller than the other bosses is great, 10/10, I laugh every time.

I just want him to be my best friend, okay? Me, him, and Cyrus can go beat up shitty adults together. Dream Team.

Lusamine:

UUUUUUUUUUUUURGH. I have so many problems with how her character is handled in USUM. Look, obviously I’m not against redemption arcs, y’all know me too well by now, but I’m certainly against bad redemption arcs. Lusamine’s isn’t even an arc! She’s just… suddenly not evil and forgiven for all her shitty actions??? Lillie and Gladion both just forgive her for years of abuse because “it’s okay guys! she was being brainwashed the whole time!” It feels really shitty.

I would’ve been less angry about it if she hadn’t been instantly forgiven by her children and accepted that she may never be able to make it up to them, but she would still work to fix all she had broken and better the world. But nope! She just gets a free pass! With all due respect Game Freak, fuck off.

I like her hair though, I’ll give her that much, her stylist deserves a raise.

#team rocket leader giovanni #team aqua leader archie #team magama leader maxie #team plasma leader ghetsis #team flare leader lysandre #team skull leader guzma #aether foundation leader lusamine #pokemon #sorry for any typos i just wanted to get it all out while i had the motivation lmao #long post #ask #ria.txt #anon #okay to reblog #abuse mention

Pokémon Villain-Champion Switch Scenarios

There were some sort of prompts in a thread that go like this:

Switching the champion and the villain in most generations can lead to some interesting stories.

Cyrus is similar to nanu as a champion, gets his thrills out of battle Cynthia wants to see the world burn for shit and giggles and wants giratina specifically

Actually in the case of XY Sycamore swapping with Lysandre would be more compelling

So of course I had to let my mind go wild on the concepts and think of some scenarios for Hoenn, Sinnoh and Kalos (with some liberties taken, mostly for Sinnoh). I kinda feel bad about leaving them on an anonymous board so I may as well share them here just for memory’s sake.

They all began to get longer with each gen, so this is a very long post. Sorry if I have some spelling errors. I still hope you all like it. (Check out an Alola scenario here)

Hoenn

While going through the first gyms you hear word from some NPCs saying the League is having issues because the Champion seems to have left.

At first everything is played kinda straight, with Maxie and Archie looking as bad guys that are also opposing each other, while Steven is a cool guy who likes rocks and helps us fight them.

The more you advance in the story things start to get suspicious.

Turns out Steven is actually a really corrupt businessman alongside his father, and they are trying to wake up Groudon and Kyogre for their own ends.

Archie and Maxie were trying to stop Devon's advances to protect the sea and land respectively, but they acted as enemies because their interests and egos made them disagree even though they had the same endgoal.

By the climax they already solve their differences and work together with you to stop the legendaries.

You save the world and finally go to finish your Pokémon challenge, since it seems the Champion issue has been solved and they have returned.

Wait "they"?

Surprise surprise double battle for the Championship against Archie and Maxie.

Sinnoh

You first meet Cyrus in Lake Verity, he acts kinda creepy still but his monologue is about wanting to understand how the universe works.

You start your Pokémon journey and meet Cynthia, who talks to you about all these cool mythos of Sinnoh and the legendaries tied to them.

You keep encountering Cyrus and interacting with him. He seems to want to be left alone but still talks to you about legends and myths too, and how he wants to investigate about them.

Cynthia follows you closely and starts to feed you misinformation about what Cyrus is on about, he is quite the antisocial guy so it's easy to make him look like he could be a lunatic cult leader after all.

Turns out she has been doing the same with Looker, the Interpol guy sent to investigate some criminal activity in the region.

You two then leave to check what Cyrus is doing, and letting Cynthia act freely.

Let's be honest, Cyrus' labs look like what a mad scientist would have, and seems his machines are indeed working with portals and experiments on the fabric of time and space.

You confront Cyrus on the matter, but turns out he wasn't trying to destroy the world or anything, he was trying to save it.

Wait what?

Cyrus is actually the Sinnoh Champion, and while doing usual walks on the region (since it seems Champions like to do that) he noticed there were some anomalies going around in the region, with time and space flowing in weird ways. He was leading an investigation to try to solve the issue and if possible track the origin of it.

You remember all the stuff Cynthia talked with you and realize she has been lying to you.

Saturn informs us that weird lectures have showed up in the Spear Pillar.

You all rush there.

There is Cynthia in control of Palkia and Dialga.

She then reveals her plans to us. She wants to use the Time and Space pokémon not to try to reshape the universe, but to summon Giratina.

Giratina indeed shows up, but before Cynthia can do anything they all get into the Distortion World.

There you search for Cynthia, who took some advantage to try and fight the Antimatter pokémon.

You find her before she manages tho.

You interrogate her again on her motives.

She tells you that after studying so much about the myths and legends, she realized something.

Palkia and Dialga aren't really such a big deal. Giratina is far more interesting.

She wanted to summon Giratina to capture it and THEN use it to get to the actual big deal: Arceus.

Cyrus calls nonsense. Maybe Giratina had some basis to exist (and indeed it does), but Arceus is just a fairytale that people made up to avoid thinking about where the world comes from.

Cynthia is adamant on her believes tho, and begins a rant about how Arceus is indeed real.

You all still don't understand why exactly she wants Arceus, if she isn't interested in making changes to the world.

Cynthia laughs at you.

"Because if I capture the Creator, then I will be the strongest trainer in all the world!"

All of this just for some stupid trainer title?

Cynthia rants again while throwing more backstory to us.

She and Cyrus had a battle similar to the one Hau and the MC had in USUM, one to decide who would become the Champion. And Cyrus won.

Cynthia didn't take defeat quite well. Her reputation as a strong trainer was tarnished. Her social status and villas in every region were lost. All because this weirdo "got lucky"!

Cyrus apologizes.

"Hu?"

Cyrus had no idea the title meant so much for her. Sure, he wanted the title, but it was just because it was a promise he did to "an old friend" back on his early childhood. If he had known the Championship meant way more to her, he would have surrendered.

Cynthia thinks he is looking at her as so inferior she needs his pity, and gets even angrier.

A pokémon battle for the fate of the worlds starts!

You defeat Cynthia.

Cynthia doesn't understand. She just can't understand. Losing to Cyrus on a Champion battle was one thing, but you haven't even finished the Gyms, how could you defeat her?!

Now with all her pokémon fainted and no revives to spare, she can't even try to fight Giratina.

"Fine! Whatever! May all as well rot in this place! No way none of us gets out now!"

You spot Giratina nearby.

Cyrus thinks you may have a chance against it, if your battle against Cynthia just now was proof enough of the strong bonds you can make with pokémon. Sure Giratina will see both that and your strenght as a trainer.

You go and fight Giratina and win. This is a lineal plot now so you have to capture it and it gets added to your party.

Cynthia can't fucking believe it.

She finally loses her marbles and tries to take away from you the pokéball Giratina is on. After all she did all the hard work to find it, what business you have with it except being a kid with a pokédex?

Cyrus has to intervene and pushes her away from you.

Cynthia takes a bad step because of it and Distortion World dynamics screw her up, making her fall to an uncertain fate.

There is no time to waste though, so you use Giratina to get back to your own world.

Cyrus gives a small speech about spirit and emotions, and how they lead to Cynthia's demise.

"They are quite frightening, and can be ugly sometimes. But I guess without those ugly emotions, we wouldn't be able to experience the beautiful ones. That must be what means to be human after all."

You part ways, with Cyrus wishing you luck on your challenge and saying he waits for you at the League.

You go and have the Champion battle against him.

You win, and he says he is proud of your progress.

He almost tells you he is happy to have met you, but stops himself before he can say it all out loud. He isn't quite ready for that stuff, not yet.

Hall of Fame and credits roll.

Kalos (well this one is actually a bit different)

You start your journey just fine. Meet with this cool young professor who wants you to help him study Mega Evolution.

You then meet Lysandre, who after seeing your pokédex realizes you are working with his good friend Sycamore. He is also helping him on his research. He gives you a cool Holo Caster update to stay in touch and so you can send Mega Evolution data to them.

The encounter with Lysandre and Diantha in the Café Soleil still happens, but is a more amicable chat about how a movie star can get roles in different niches if she just ages normally instead of remaining "young" forever, and how that is beautiful in it's own way. First clue that Lysandre isn't batshit insane here.

Lysandre tells you his lineage's story and the Ultimate Weapon on his café, but instead of using it as a "THEY ARE FILTH" monologue he uses it as a moral about current events.

The Ultimate Weapon "cleaned" the region from the "undesirable" back then, but he thinks that is a coward path.

He wants to believe Kalos is beautiful, but the truth is, it isn't.

The glamorous Kalos we know is because the region is making it's best to hide away the poor and homeless people and pokémon from tourists and visitors, just to preserve this fake image of Kalos being all nice.

Lysandre doesn't agree with this, and wants to help everyone so there is only happiness and real beauty in Kalos.

Well that was motivational and sad, but you have no time for this, you have to go around collecting some stones!

You go around getting your Key Stone and Mega Stones just as normal.

With the updated Holo Caster you send every piece of data you get everytime you Mega Evolve your pokémon, and Sycamore is happy. If you don't use too much Mega Evolution -or at all- Sycamore at first tries to encourage you to use it, but later starts to get annoyed by your lack of cooperation.

Eitherway, Sycamore is doing progress with his research with or without your help, and he shares some stuff with you.

He sometimes calls to just tell you about his own standards on beauty tho. It is all Holo Caster and chill until he slips some bigoted small remarks, like how creepy it was that some kid on rags approached a woman near a café. Stuff like that that may not be anything but still triggers some red lights.

On your way on Route 15 Lysandre calls you, and asks you to meet him in the Lost Hotel up north.

There he tells you he is a bit worried about Sycamore. He is noticing him acting strange ever since he began to make actual progress with his research on Mega Evolution. He has noticed some weird movements on his businesses too ever since.

You tell him about what you have noticed on his calls too, and Lysandre for a moment begins to connect some dots, but dismisses them almost immediately. No way his friend would be capable of such things, he says.

You continue your travels to Anistar City, when a Holo Caster call reached every single trainer in the region.

The figure on the Holo Caster can't be seen due to some noise in the signal, but the message is quite clear: The Ultimate Weapon will be revived and used to erase from existence all those pariahs that ruin Kalos' beautiful image.

Immediately after that call ends, Lysandre calls you. Looks like someone took over his Labs and he asks you to come help him since there are too many grunts guarding the place and he can't fight everyone in there while trying to get back in.

You manage to get in, and there you find Sycamore.

Sycamore notices Lysandre isn't as shocked as he thought he would be. Lysandre admits that he did know what was going one after talking with you at the Lost Hotel, but he didn't want to believe it. He didn't want to believe his dear friend was using him and a bunch of kids for such an ugly goal.

Sycamore is actually hurt by those words.

He reminds Lysandre of what he would always talk about, about how ugly Kalos actually is because of all that people who can't contribute anything to society.

He saw his dear friend suffering over this, and he wished he could help him somehow.

His research on Mega Evolution was totally scientific at the start, but then he started to notice some links it had to the Ultimate Weapon.

It all made sense after all. It was fate™, you could even say.

Mega Evolution was the product of the remnants of the Ultimate Weapon, which is why it is only found in Kalos. What a beautiful region Kalos is indeed. And yet, not every pokémon was able to reach such a state.

If Sycamore can get his hands on the Ultimate Weapon, he can both liberate even more energy to make every single species reach Mega Evolution, all while killing all the unproductive people that are the source of his friend's suffering.

This isn't what Lysandre wanted at all, and he is mad that Sycamore would think such an idea, knowing his hatred for the Ultimate Weapon and what it did to his ancestors.

Sycamore of course believes everything will be worth it in the end, and he will find a way to forgive him.

But for now the chat must end. He already got what he was looking for in the labs, and now he had to leave to his real destination: Geosenge Town.

The professor calls on two masked guys to make up time for him to leave.

You defeat these guys who look similar to Dexio and Sina (totally not them, right?), and Lysandre wonders what could Sycamore be looking for in his lab.

He then remembers about the suspicious movements he found some days ago, and goes to check out.

You find AZ in the usual place as in XY. Seems Sycamore was paying way too much attention to Lysandre's ocassional history lessons, and was searching for the immortal king too. AZ tells us Sycamore already took the key for the Ultimate Weapon, and asks you to stop him.

You all leave to Geosenge Town.

You go down the base where everything where everything is already in motion.

Sycamore is a more practical man, he doesn't waste time with buttons.

Lysandre tries to reason with him. The weapon takes energy from a Legendary pokémon, yes, but for the scale Sycamore wants, it also takes away the life energy of pokémon near the place. Part of his plan could backfire on him if he keeps going.

"Well I think we can live without Bunnelby and Diggersby"

Lysandre challenges him to a fight to distract him, so you can go to where the Legendary is and hopefully stop the weapon.

You go and catch your Legendary, only for Sycamore to show up immediately after.

He doesn't need a Dr. Octopus outfit, he is a more practical man and can beat the shit out of champion level trainers by himself, being a professor and all.

The pokémon battle for the destiny of the world starts!

You win the battle. But that doesn't really mean you have stopped him, does it?

Lysandre shows up, still beaten up from the fight, and still tries to talk Sycamore out of this. It isn't too late to stop this nonsense. He will forgive him. Just leave the Ultimate Weapon alone and let's work together to make a beautiful world where nobody needs to be sacrificed.

Sycamore for a moment thinks about the offer, but realizes there isn't any future left for him after all what he has done. Lysandre and the protagonist may forgive him, but the world surely won't.

"You have a minute"

He activates the Ultimate Weapon. It doesn't really have much energy left, but is enough to destroy the whole place.

You have to take Lysandre out by force, since he didn't want to leave without Sycamore.

You manage to get out, but Geosenge Town is a mess.

Lucky thing everyone managed to evacuate those box houses and make it to safety.

Lysandre doesn't say anything. He doesn't even move from his place. It has been too much to process for just one day.

Oh yeah you get a parade. Yay!

Without a professor, things are quite messy in the whole region, but please don't let that stop you from continuing your pokémon adventure.

You defeat the E4 and make it to the Champion's room.

It is empty.

But there is a note for you.

It asks you to go to Lysandre Café.

You go there and meet Lysandre.

He asks you to forgive him, but he didn't really feel like going to the League after all what happened.

He gives you a long talk about his friendship with Sycamore. How they both met when they were younger and studying. Sycamore would become the regional Pokémon Professor while he would go and invent gadgets at his own company to help improve the life of humans and pokémon.

If he was told at that time what would have happened a few days ago, he wouldn't believe it. In fact, he still can't.

This is all a bad dream and he will wake up at any moment, with papers all around him and Sycamore mocking him for not getting proper sleep.

But he knows very well that's not the case.

It can't be helped. What's done is done and there is no going back.

But you don't want to keep listening to the sorrows of a sad man, do you? You are here for your final challenge.

You have your battle for the Championship and win.

After getting an extravagant parade for saving the region, this is quite an unceremonious event. Not that it bothers you tho. There is some beauty on keeping things simple.

You still get registered in the Hall of Fame, and Lysandre asks you to hold the Champion title with respect.

Credits roll.

Honorary mention to Johto, which was just the idea of Lance being like his manga counterpart and Giovanni taking the 3 years timeskip to become a researcher and the champion too.

Thanks for reading!

You agreed to meet Jinyoung for a coffee date, what could go wrong? Surely you are not going to run into Im Jaebum on the way there… Right?

Starboy-Masterlist || M A S T E R L I ST

Protagonists: Baseball player Im Jaebum / You / Dr. Park Jinyoung

Word Count: 2.2k

Genre: SFW | University | Baseball | Romance | *Socially offensive language* – Mini-Series

Lysandre’s note: Repost because I wanted this chapter on my main ;)

Staring at your reflexion, you barely have time to avoid the pair of rolled up socks Makayla throws at your head. She boos, sitting on the small bed of your dorm bedroom with her arms crossed, clearly disapproving your choice of outfit.

“At least show some cleavage. Let the poor shaman have hope!” Laughing, you pull your black sweater over your head to change into something more appealing under her expert gaze. “I thought you hated dating by the way…”

“He’s still a doctor, not a shaman! And I do hate dates... And I totally told him that...” Although, you didn’t exactly mention to Jinyoung about your last messy breakup. You choose a cute embroidered raspberry blouse, slipping it on and showing it off. “He said that if we met by ‘coincidence’ in a coffee shop it wouldn’t be what he’d call a date –” Makayla frowns, skeptical. “– but fate.”

“Ugh. Are you kidding me?” You laugh at her cringe, deciding her lack of comment meant she approved of the blouse. “Did he actually say it aloud or texted you that corny crap, what century are we–”

“Aloud.”

“Well, fuck me.” She finds her phone in the sheets of your unmade bed to tap at the screen, angrily. “And I can’t even get a text back!”

“Sungjin would text you back...” You pull your tongue at her, siding with your classmate for his desperate crush on that hopeless girl. “He’s a decent guy, it’d changed you from those football players.”

“Joke’s on you, my last victim is a golfer! I don’t know y/n… I kinda live for the thrill of being left on read.” At that, you can only shake your head in disbelief.

She might like to tease your dating phobic ways, but she’s as bad as you when it comes to commitment. While you usually avoid guys altogether, Makayla always seems to only get involved with the ones she knows will never be interested.

“You should wear that with your pale jeans, your ass looks fantastic in those!”

“Ooh, great idea, thanks!”

“Also, please put on lingerie!”

“Tst – This is a coffee non-date! I won’t jump him or any–”

“Hot guys can sense that shit.” You hesitate, pouting as Makayla wiggles her brow suggestively. “What if he drops his coffee on you and gets scared when he sees that horrible skin-coloured monstrosity through your soaked clothes?” Makayla rolls to the side to grab a lace bralette on your headboard and throws it at you. “Wear that, he’ll love it! That one screams ‘Please doctor, pour hot liquid on me!’.”

You study the pink floral lace between your fingers, feeling heat rush to your face as you remember the last time you wore it. You can still recall the feel of Jaebum’s hands; his fingers sliding the straps off your shoulders, his lips sucking your nipples through the thin lace...

“Yeah – Um, I think I’ll just go with the ‘monstrosity’ for today, it’s the only one that doesn’t show through the fabric.”

What’s with you, thinking of that stupid pitcher like that? You’re about to go on a date with a handsome med Resident. Somewhere on the floor, your phone dings from under a pile of rejected outfits. You hurry to fish it to look at the text, anxious.

Park Jinyoung: I’m going to be getting coffee at a very random coffee shop (the one on the corner of Wall & College) in about 15 minutes… [18:44PM]

You smile dumbly reading it just as another one comes in.

Park Jinyoung: (Not that I would ever expect to see you there... This isn’t a date or anything!) [18:44PM]

“Oh my god. You’re smiling at your damn phone y/n! Just leave already, before I kill myself!”

___

10 minutes later and you’re standing in front of the coffee shop, too nervous to move. It’s been a while since you dated – not that this could be considered a real date – almost two years. You run a hand on your blouse, smoothing imaginary wrinkles. Unfortunately, it’s when you finally decide to enter the coffee that he, exits it.

And Jaebum isn’t alone, he’s with another one of his teammates, one you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet. When he sees you, there’s a flicker of dread in his eyes, but in a second, he’s back to his usual composure. Which is horribly unfortunate, because now he’s walking straight at you and you have virtually nowhere to hide.

“Hey y/n”, he smiles sheepishly, disregarding the fact that you were evidently trying to walk by without greeting him.

“Hey.”

“Hi”, the player you don’t know nudges his friend with his elbow. He’s a bit shorter and very very handsome. Although, beautiful would probably be a more appropriate choice of word. “I’m Mark,” his smile is so white and wide it almost blinds you. “And you are... Y/n...”

“Yes… That’s me…” You deadpan reddening, and Jaebum wiggles from one foot to the other. Now you’re unhealthily curious about what is said of you in their locker room, you bite your lips.

“Y/n”, Mark repeats as if you needed to be reminded. Does the baseball team have a secret black book with conquests names, or what? Clearly, that guy is in the known somehow. Tilting his head towards Jaebum, he adds: “The Creative Writing girl...” Mark giggles, the sound surprisingly irritating and you stare at him, shocked.

Creative Writing; a class you took to force yourself out of your comfort zone after your break up forever ago. You didn’t socialize, so it’d be surprising that guy remembered you at all – if you truly were in his class.

Mark turns to the pitcher, poking him with his elbow again. “I wasn’t aware you guys knew each oth–”

“I really wanted to tell you, about that night at the club,” Jaebum ignores him, keeping his baffling coolness despite the obvious teasing. “I’m so sorry, I was horrible. I’m a jerk and I wanted to apologize ever since, but I don’t have any way of contacting you or–”

“It’s okay Jaebum, it’s in the past – I don’t care – So don’t feel bad about it, these things happen. We were both drunk.” You clench your teeth, forcing a polite smile. If he truly felt like apologizing, he knew you worked at the clinic, he knew where to find you. It took you three weeks to digest his outburst, but you’ll stick by your not caring resolution. Even if in the end it truly makes you a bitch.

“The club…” Mark looks confused, gaze darting between you two until something seems to connect in his mind. “Oh, the club! Y/n!”

“Right, we’re fine then”, Jaebum’s sly smile falls and he brings his left hand up to scratch his neck, uncomfortable. Despite yourself, you note that he still seems able to move his arm and bend his elbow easily – not that you’d care. “Thank you... For forgiving me, it’s a relief.”

“It’s nothing!” You take a step in the direction of the coffee shop, but Jaebum moves aside at the same time, blocking your way. “I a-actually need to go.”

“Yeah, sorry”, he avoids your gaze, inadvertently moving at the same time as you again.

“Our campus is so small”, his friend Mark makes the same high pitch giggle sound again, causing you to turn to stare. “The girl from Creative Class is… Y/n.”

“Are you sure?” You ask, surprised he seems so entertained by all this. “I took that class forever ago and I–”

“One year”, he grins, overly confident, “with Mr. Yachnin, you sat next to us for the whole trimester.”

“You were in that class too?” You frown at Jaebum with skepticism. You’re pretty sure you’d remember if a guy looking like him sat next to you.

“I… guess so...” He shrugs, exchanging a look with his friend. “Anyway, sorry again, have a great day!” Finally stepping away from your path with success, Jaebum pushes Mark forward, forcing him to walk.

“Bye, y/n the Creative Writing girl. I hope to see you around a lot more!” The other player laughs again, obeying his teammate reluctantly. “Come see us play Saturday!”

AH! As if.

You wave back at him, frowning. It’s so weird to think you shared a class with them without knowing. Of all the classes related to sports you took over the course of your studies, you had a random art class together. Surely that’s why Jaebum said he thought you were in the Art Dep the first time you met. It makes a lot more sense now, but he’d have to have recognized you. Again, he was right that night when he said you knew nothing about him. You don’t even know what he’s studying, you just assumed it had to do with sports since most athletes are in Physical Ed.

You’re almost pushing the door of the coffee shop when you decide to do something completely useless. Jaebum and Mark have stopped walking and are now absorbed in a heated discussion, several meters away.

“HEY, I almost forgot!”, they both twitch when you yell, although you only keep your eyes on the tallest one. “Im Jaebum!” He opens his mouth perplexed, and you laugh, entertained by his confusion.

“I do know your last name, Starboy!”

Without waiting any longer, you push the door of the coffee shop, leaving the two confused baseball players behind. Jinyoung instantly stands up and waves when you walk in, looking so handsome you stop in your tracks. Your wide smile, a remnant of your amusement freezes a bit, turning to an awkward grin. You can do this. This is just a coffee break and Jinyoung seems like an amazing guy.

You can totally nail this non-date.

“Hi y/n,” The young doctor tilts his head to the side, smirking as you walk up to him, “fancy running into you here.”

“Hi,” you giggle, sounding like the stupidest girl in the whole world, but he doesn’t seem to mind, gazing at you warmly. This time, you don’t feel as intimidated as he takes you in. Your makeup and hair are on point, clothes evidently carefully selected for this very moment. You are okay, you are in control of your variables, or so you repeat to yourself mentally like a mantra.

“Wow, you’re gorgeous.” Jinyoung sighs, slightly dazed, as though influenced by your thoughts.

“T-Thanks,” His eyes crinkle as he flashes his perfect teeth, watching you get shy, “you too.”

His compliment sounded sincere whilst yours is half-mumbled, unable to do him any justice. He’s even more handsome than the first time you met him. Today he ditched the dress shirt in favour of a casual white tee, dangerously tight on his chest, and pale jeans. He also came without his glasses and, although he still looked godlike with them, it seems to make his eyes pop-out even more. You struggle to hold eye contact, too flustered, hopefully, you won’t be awkward for the whole date. You want to feel less anxious, be more comfortable, but don’t know how. It’s been too long. Jinyoung doesn’t even seem to notice how out of it you are when he puts his hand in the middle of your shoulder blades. He barely touches you to guide you to the lineup in front of the register, but it still makes you mentally freak out.

“Since we’re both here at the same time, only by pure chance. I think we should grab a cup of coffee together, y/n. Surely it’s a sign.”

“Oh, a sign?” You laugh stiffly at his joke, nervousness perceivable. “Right, what were the odds of us meeting here, today, at 7pm? It’s not like we planned this.”

“Well, I like to make my own odds.” Jinyoung nods, eyes anchoring themselves in yours with all the confidence in the world. At the moment, you can tell he’s not the type to ever have been hurt or rejected by a girl. How could one say no to such a guy anyway? “My father always says we should never play the waiting game and should strike while the bat is hot.”

“The iron?” You snort, reassured a bit by his easygoing playfulness. It’s true that Jinyoung was nothing but smooth and funny on your first encounter. You have no valid reason to feel so stressed when he’s obviously trying to make light conversation. “Your father sure sounds like a wise man.”

“Not at all.” Jinyoung chuckles, shaking his head slightly. “I probably shouldn’t listen to what he says, he’s both awful at relationships and idioms.”

“I see.” His palm is warming your back, and you lean closer to his shoulder, unthinkingly.

“Either way, date or not,” Jinyoung talks softly this time, for only you to hear in the crowded coffee shop, “I’m glad you said yes, happy that you’re here with me now.”

Your heart skips a beat at his confession, but the doctor just smiles, turning to the lineup in front of you as if it was the most natural thing to say. Unbeknown to him, you stare at his profile in awe, finally allowing yourself to be happy you came too and starting to relax.

not sure if I’ll ever be confident enough in my knowledge of cIasspect to make a formal analysis but here’s another entirely spitballed post, now with role speculation for assorted characters of varying obscurity

Lil Slugger is definitely Void, I wanna say Bard as in destroying through obfuscation? (vague spoiler) there is the whole thing where the city is literally consumed by an indiscriminate black mass at the end (/vague spoiler) - overall he exists so people can avoid reality (the truth), and he only grows more powerful as people don’t know what’s going on. passive class because this ultimately “benefits” other people, with Slugger having no discernible motive of his own.

despite the duality, Maromi is proooobably not on the Light/Void dichotomy because his thing is all about (supposedly) helping people. the “take a rest!” mantra and their general behavior towards Tsukiko has me tentatively saying Life? he encourages people to escape their problems and exist in a fantasy world that’s obviously so much better for them (and them alone!) than facing reality.

it’s been ages since I watched/revisited Monster but for your consideration: Tenma as a hero of Breath. “but doctor says Life” sure but! throughout the series he absolutely inspires change in other people, often for the better; see: everyone coming together to bail him out on that one thing.

man I wish I remembered enough about that series to guess other characters’ aspects but. No. 8,V

uhh let’s see who else can I throw aspects at

Tsukiko interests me a lot but admittedly a majority of my understanding of her character is projection-based because A) Reasons and B) she’s not exactly an open book.

two characters of mine I don’t really talk about (because they're not relevant to any particular story) are maybe on the Life-Doom dichotomy; haven’t taken The Quiz for either but one just screams Life player from the site description and Doom seems increasingly relevant to the other as I keep slamming the “develop characters in plotline limbo” button.

oh also I know everyone and their dancestor compared Ten (y’know the green text satellite from the future football saga) to Rose Lalonde but all that infodumping? would have to give it a reread but Light seems legit. maybe Blood for “oh hey go check out this game it seems fun” Juice? no clue about Nine though seeing as they kinda don’t.. Do Much from what I remember, acting as something of a clueless audience stand-in.

Lusamine? Hope. gone very, very wrong. definitely an active class since she apparently would’a been perfectly happy sitting in that interdimensional jellyfish room for eternity at least in SM. maybe same aspect for Lysandre but idk about “to create a better world it is time for Nukes,” probably on the same dichotomy. your cardboard neghbor in XY has a Heart crisis but also fuck that flat excuse for an arc, Cheren did it better.

actually I don’t remember enough about Cheren to suggest he’s actually a Heairt player (although the nerd archetype gives me Mind Vibes for obvious reasons). same goes for the rest of the Unova crew really but I thiiiiink the protags in general, especially the BW one on account of N, are Breath-y? as much as voiceless people whose worlds are literally programmed around them can be, at least.

I really wanna say Blood for Guzma or Plumeria (wasn’t the latter something like “team mom?”) but also uhh. what the fuck was Team Skull’s end goal again. were they banded together for a particular Reason or did they kinda just exist and cause problems sometimes and get funding from Aether oh god this is sad it wasn’t that long ago the game came out @/self why this

new motivation to actually read/watch/play shit more than once in a blue moon: fun with sorting systems \o/

next day edit: wheeee more ideas from last night

Yuichi is absolutely a Heart player, what with “egocentricism” pretty much being his defining character trait. Ushiyama I’m less sure about but his run for student council and overall ability to rally students give me Blood vibes?

the officer whose name I forget has his whole motive about chasing down criminals although the “you have to face reality” thing has me considering Mind?

Maniwa meanwhile strikes me as Light/Void, especially in that episode where he plays along with the kid’s fantasy to get information. maybe Rogue of Void, “stealing” uncertainty and leaving the truth/knowledge (Light) in its wake? (the same episode also gives me Mind vibes for the officer.) no clue what to make of his hero schtick at the end though.

prophetic old dude is maybe passive Light but seeing as his entire character is “be weird and prophetic” idk if this has any real weight

speaking of heroes, that creepy dad guy whose name I also forget is maybe another shining example of Hope gone very, very wrong. yes, of course you can pay off your debt and be a hero like one of your mangas! and totally not be an absolute douchecanoe in the process!!!

Taeko’s amnesia is definitely a Void thing but alas she doesn’t really do much as far as potential strengths/weaknesses are concerned :,T

I still have no fucking idea about Tsukiko but Time/Space seems relevant, especially with Space having all these creative-type associations. while her behavior is very passive it’s ultimately self-serving so. yeah heck if I know. neutral evil

#sometimes I hesitate to throw random thoughts to the void but sometimes I’m just like ‘why else am I here then’#this is one of the latter times #.rf #chatter #e: yes. because That Happened.#classpect

“ this is unnecessarily complicated , ” faust blurts after reading the passage to himself, dragging his finger along the fading lines of text. “ at least it puts more of my confidence in aether that they can be of competent cooperation. unlike the one-dimensional motives of that damn team rocket and that ridiculous megalomaniac, lysandre . ”

the lumiose gang’s plan is foolproof – conducted by the worryingly manipulative, sadistic, and savage brain of their nineteen-year-old figurehead. gathering information on the ultra wormholes is merely phase one. phase two? leverage: let it slip that the lumiose gang has undisclosed information regarding alola’s biggest secret, and aether’s soul purpose. lusamine won’t hesitate to team up with them, completely blinded by what she desires most. phase three? once they’ve gotten aether on their side, they’ll turn the tables. the ol’ switcheroo. maybe a few bangs! here and there – again, courtesy of the cause-for-concern, trigger-happy teen leader. they won’t fucking see it coming. faust can’t even stifle the most shit-eating of smirks.

“ but, i do wish this mission would hurry itself up. this heat and sweat is starting to get unbearable . ” he wipes sweat off his face with the palm of his hand. even underneath a large, black umbrella, the gang member is roasting his ass off on the beach – why are people so attracted to this kind of place ? he wonders, scrunching his button nose. at least kalos has seasons!

“ i thought i told you to relax for a bit, slater , ” the commander-in-chief’s gruff voice crackles through the device in faust’s ear. he’s a loyal forty-something year old with an enmity for the gang leader’s attitude, which makes ordering him around much more fun.

“ i am on the beach , ” faust replies, bluntly. the tide crashes, as if wanting to prove its own existence. he pushes his over-sized sunglasses back up the narrow slope of his nose. the lenses, thick and black. they keep him incognito, while also keep the sun from blistering his fair skin. two fletchling with one stone, some would say. chief sighs, “ we did have that encounter with UB-01. which, i do believe puts us one step ahead of aether . ”

faust scoffs, “ a step ahead? you morons let it get away! and you want me to be pleased about that? your lack of intelligence is ludicrous. who knows how many times the bastard’s had a run-in with aether. it’s too soon to call check-mate, chief. it’s only just begun. and the only thing the lumiose gang has is a pawn out on the board. because of me ! ” up ahead, wingulls bicker. he takes their squawks as agreement.

chief’s probably holding the earpiece a good few inches away from his face, still able to hear another one of the temperamental gang leader’s infamous tantrums. in fact, his voice does sound further away now. “ o-of course, slater. our success depends solely on you . ”

is that sarcasm laden in chief’s voice? facetious bastard, faust thinks – but, it’s too damned hot for faust to argue. faust sinks into his beach cot, nearly slipping through one of the slats. “ then again, i’ve always had an affinity for a challenge. but, what exactly am i getting myself into here ? ”

𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 [𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝], 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 (𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐬, 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫). 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦, 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡. 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬.

faust shoots up and lurches himself forward at the stroke of an epiphany. it’s all coming together now. faust’s chair wobbles, threatening to topple over. the thick book slips from his lap onto the sand, the green and gold-embellished cover facing upward.

“ chief, have you heard from looker recently ? ” as faust reaches down to retrieve the book, a shadow peers over him. the disquieting presence of the stranger keeps his hand at bay, his teeth in the inside of his lip. if they see the words on that cover, they’re gonna start asking a lot of questions; and he can try his damnedest to get out of it – oh! just doing some light reading! how fucking transparent! who just decides to pick up a monstrous novel titled “the study of ultra wormholes” for the hell of it? suspicious people, that’s who.

“ now that you mention it … not a thing. he seems to have ju — . ” faust taps his earpiece, abruptly disconnecting his conversation with the chief. he rests the sole of his black, leather shoe on the book’s cover. behind his sunglasses, he glowers at the stranger.

“ avez-vous besoin de quelque chose ? ” — did you need something ? “ do you always disturb people minding their own, or is it just me ? ”
