One of my art goals in this fandom is to show more appreciation for my fave fics and I’ve been slowly rereading @archersxartxblog “warden’s twins” so I thought I’d try to draw some stuff for it! For context it’s a fic where 10yo ingo and emmet get sent to hisui during their pokemon journey & everyone just assumes they’re ingo’s kids lmao. It’s really good and interesting I highly recommend it! Also I can’t help but think about how drayden must be in hell in this au like Jesus Christ I can’t imagine he’s doing too well considering everything asdgdfgh
Clay has always been one of my absolute favorite Pokémon & comfort characters. I love that man so much and learning that he has a daughter, family, it just makes me so incredibly happy for him, I can't even put that into words, so I'll let my art speak for itself!
Also, I don't get how some people are surprised by him having a child with someone. There's only ups to having him as a partner:
Still playing through the Indigo Disk, but I think Lacey is awesome and it’s so cool she’s related to one of the Unova gym leaders! I think it’s Clay because of her hair clip (and her Excadrill lol) so I wanted to draw Clay taking little Lacey to see a Cottonee migration, since in Unova fairy types are few and far between lol
About the Aspects Au, you said that Akari and Ingo have a father/daughter relationship, so does she return to the future with Ingo? If so, what's the Unovans reaction to her? Also, how does Ingo feel about Clay?
So the thing about them returning to the future is that neither of them chose to return. Ingo didn't want to at all and Akari was working towards getting back. She returned first, After fighting with Arceus and winding up with a piece of the god pokemon on her team she wound up attacked by a furious Volo still pissed about her beating him and was mortally wounded.
That piece of Arceus managed to pull enough power to send her to a time with better medical advancements to save her, her time. It wouldn't be able to do that again.
For Ingo, as far as he knew his daughter died and they never did find the killer. He lived in Hisui for another 17 years before being forcefully thrown back to the future in the last space time distortion.
As for Clay, it's weird. He likes the guy but it's so hard for him not to see the young man he helped raise.
Nate is really good at reading people, and that's on full display this event. Like the reference to back when Team Break was causing problems too, I guess they got into a scuffle with some other villain team back when Paulo was controlling Hoopa?
Y'all really be "Irida, look at this familiar person!" And it's usually Ingo. But- BUT
There's just something so funny to me about this. Look at this man, he looks a lot like an adult version of one of your wardens. He also likes rocks, go figure.
Came here to say I absolutely love your Clay art, really wish there was more of it, an underrated character for sure
That's my yeehaw dad!!
It's hard finding art of him due to his name, cuz when you search for "Pokemon Clay" or the like, all you really mostly find is Pokemon art made of modeling clay.
