How in the heck do Jenova Cells even work?!

I will say here and now that I haven't watched/played/read every FF7 thing in this franchise so if something I talk about is actually clarified in some obscure thing or I get something wrong, then comment about it.

So let's start with the beginning. Who or what is Jenova.

...🤷‍♀️

We honestly have no idea about Jenova'a origins beyond her crash landing on Gaia via meteorite. We don't know if she's the only one of her kind, or if she has successfully destroyed planets before (considering in FF7 AC Sephiroth talks about using Gaia to travel to another planet, that meteorite was probably a planet Jenova destroyed). She's very much your typical cosmic horror creature. But wherever she's from, it's not the planet.

So Jenova crash landed and that damaged the planet, (an injury that the planet is still healing from, hence how wacky the Northern Crater looks) and then Jenova started using her hallucinations/shape shifting abilities on the Cetra to trick them. And then Jenova turned them into monsters. Yes, all the monsters in FF7 are Cetra or descendents of what was Cetra (kind of awkward when Aerith kills them lol).

Side tangent. I wonder if Jenova just works differently on different species. Like if Aerith was exposed to Jenova like what happened to her ancestors would she just turn into a monster instead of what happens to humans? Also does that make all the monsters part of Reunion or not? What would that Cell even be called. M (Monster) Cell? C (Cetra) Cell?

But yeah Jenova was trying to destroy the planet.

Eventually the remaining Cetra sealed Jenova away until 2000 years later she was excavated and mistakenly identified as a Cetra by Gast.

Later on Hojo created Project S and Hollander made Project G in an attempt to create a Cetra that could lead Shinra to the Promised Land.

In Project S, which stands for Sephiroth, Hojo injected Sephiroth directly with Jenova Cells when he was a fetus. In Project G, which stands for Gillian, is where Gillian was injected with Jenova Cells and her DNA was mapped onto Genesis as a fetus (Angeal, while he is part of Project G, was not purposely made for it. Angeal was naturally born after Gillian was injected with Jenova Cells).

The strands of Jenova Cells even function differently after being introduced into a human system, S Cells and G Cells.

Project S was the superior Project and most SOLDIER are created in a similar way to the later created Sephiroth Clones.

Remake implies that there are Project G SOLDIERS too, but it could of been referring to the Tsivets.

So...

How does the Cells function?

Starting with G will probably be shorter so I'll do that.

Genesis and Angeal, while not as powerful as Sephiroth, were still more powerful than most. However the prime time of powerful is short lived. Both of them start to degrade into their 20's and start developing some inhuman abilities.

*ALSO NOTE HERE THAT G CELL DEGRADATION IS DIFFERENT FROM S CELL DEGRADATION*

After an injury that doesn't heal, Genesis starts to degrade. His hair and body starts to go white, he grows a black wing, and most importantly, he can created Genesis Copies.

Genesis can map his cells onto other SOLDIERS and make them copies of him with them still retaining a little of thier former skill in their respective weaponry, otherwise they are just copies of Genesis.

However Angeal is the result of Project G. He has a wing like Genesis (right white wing) but his degradation is slower and he's able to make Angeal copies out of people and monsters. He only properly degrades (white hair and all that) when he tries to self destruct kinda when absorbs all those monsters and forces Zack to kill him.

I do personally find it interesting that G Cells seem to psudo-inherit Jenova's abilities to turn things into a different form. Even Sephiroth wasn't able to do that unless he was using part of Jenova's literal body- Well until Rebirth but we'll get to that.

But there are two things that stick out to me.

One, could Genesis or Angeal experience Reunion or would it be different for them? Is that why Genesis showed up in the Mt Nibel Reactor?

And two, why is Gillian normal? Like Lucrecia was injected with Jenova Cells as a by product of Sephiroth being injected when she was pregnant with him and she's stuck unable to die no mater what. But Gillian was directly injected with J Cells and she kills herself just fine. I honestly don't think there is an explanation for this one though.

Also when talking about G Cells I should talk about the Tsivets but-

I never played DoC and I tried watching Maximilian dood's playthrough of it and I just couldn't.

From what I know is that the Tsivets wear like mako suits otherwise they die? Also they all have real weird powers like Nero (Rip Sonon in that Remake Dlc) and Weiss. Also Shulke can like dive into the internet? I dunno that game was not for me. Please tell me if any of the Tsivets have abilities that are actually comparable to other characters with Jenova's Cells because I wouldn't know.

Okay now onto S Cells woo!

So Sephiroth, probably most of SOLDIER, Sephiroth Clones, and Cloud all have S Cells. And they function pretty differently than G Cells.

For example, Sephiroth can't actually make Sephiroth copies like Genesis or Angeal. Sephiroth cannot physically change any of the people with his Cells like Angeal or Genesis either.

But S Cells are considered superior for many reasons.

Sephiroth can create hallucinations and illusions to change the copies or pieces of Jenova to look like him when needed. Also he never degraded himself.

SOLDIERS and Sephiroth Clones can but that degradation is different for S Cells. Instead of turning white and slowly dying, they become puppets that only try to go and enact Reunion.

The Reunion Theory (Hojo created it) was that if separated, Jenova would come back together, a Reunion.

Sephiroth pre-Nibeheim incident was the most powerful guy but he was pretty human (cat eyes and silver hair not included).

Then things go wrong.

Sephiroth freaking snaps due to Jenova, false information, and other existentialist crisis stuff.

Also here I should address a question. How sentient is Jenova? Is she a mind beyond human comprehension? Or is she much more animalistic and just works off of instinct? Did she intentionally help Sephiroth go crazy or was it just Reunion?

Like her backstory, we don't know. But regardless, it was confirmed that in FF7 it is Sephiroth in control because of how strong his will is. He's insane and mind broken, but he's the brains of the operation for all that happens in FF7.

Sephiroth in FF7 is able to puppet and command the Sephiroth clones, do crazy stuff like flying or going through floors, use illusions, and use Jenova's body to create crazy boss fights. Also at the end he's able to transform himself into a crazy monster form for the final boss fight for the party.

Cloud also is able to like astralproject himself to have a solo final fight with Sephiroth. I don't know what Cloud's potential is with using the S Cells to his advantage but I doubt he would able to use as well as Sephiroth. Cloud did accidentally use the S Cells to get the memories of Zack and Tifa's memories of Cloud though so... that's interesting.

Anyways jump to AC. Kadaj, Loz and Kazoo- I mean Yazoo are remnants of Sephiroth. They aren't actually made of S Cells, but Sephiroth will and power. Once Kadaj gets Jenova's head Sephiroth is able to possess him because he finally has Jenova's Cells. Meanwhile Geostigma is also caused by Sephiroth and Jenova in the lifestream. This is also the first time Sephiroth gets a wing like Genesis and Angeal. His black right wing s iconic afterall.

Okay now it's Remake time.

Sephiroth time travelled woo! Don't ask me how that works with worlds and such. I don't care if we get an hour of exposition in Part 3 as long as it helps me understand what that's all about properly.

However I can talk about how Sephiroth's powers are a bit different thus time around.

Like how in the OG he did illusions, but he couldn't make Cloud hallucination himself as everyone can't see it. I remember in AC Cloud would kinda have a mini hallucination of past memories in that one scene of him clutching his infected arm in pain with the cool Sephiroth cat eyes for a moment (and that is referenced in Remake) but that's all that comes to mind. Just with Sephiroth at least. Cloud had like multiple hallucinations with Aerith and Zack.

New ability two is that Sephiroth Clones can now fuse with monsters. Monsters would have Jenova Cells now that I think about it so... cool.

I do find it funny that Sephiroth took the wing and now the monster thing from Genesis and Angeal lol.

Again, how Sephiroth is able to jump worlds and such is not something I can quite understand yet. I honestly think that's more a Lifestream and Whispers thing than a Jenova thing. Like it's Sephiroth will power (think of the Remnants for example) that gives him that power and not Sephiroth going around injecting whispers of fate with S Cells or something.

Um...

That's all I can think of for now.

Damn, trying to comprehend the biology of a cosmic horror is tough.

The news about Resident Evil 4 remake made me rewatch some videos of the original and, anyway I was thinking about how Leon gets infected by Las Plagas and all. May I ask for a scenario or concept of infected!Leon being protective of his Darling?

There's some really good fan art concepts online of Las Plagas! Leon, ngl. Pulling from those. Take this as an AU. May make this a scenario later as I found it came out nice.

Ended up as a Las Plagas! Leon general concept sorta, lol

Yandere! Las Plagas! Leon S. Kennedy Being Protective

Concept

Pairing: Romantic/Animal/Pet-Like

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Yandere-like behavior, Feral beast Leon, Murder, Violence, Stalking, Overprotective behavior, Possessive behavior, Monster loving.

- Let's say Leon doesn't get the Las Plagas parasite removed in time.

- The mission is officially considered a failure and Leon is left trying to regain his more human mind.

- Everything is just so fuzzy....

- He's just about going feral and is much different from how he is when human.

- How you fit into this can be up to you.

- You could be Leon's partner, someone not infected in the village Leon's investigating, or someone deployed to find Leon's whereabouts.

- In any of these ways Leon would probably act the same.

- He has a much more feral mind than his usual self due to the parasite so how he finds you might be through stalking.

- He plans on hunting you down but some human part of his mind holds him back from leaping on top of you.

- He's better than that... he has to be.

- You could imagine Las Plagas! Leon however you want but personally I like to imagine him like a hybrid of the Verdugo.

- Tail, claws, sharp mandibles, etc.

- However if you want more accurate to the game you can imagine him keeping more of his human form without all that.

- It doesn't change his advanced reflexes, endurance, and speed.

- He's no longer human but he's strong enough to keep at least some moral compass.

- By the time you catch a glimpse of him it's clear something's wrong.

- His clothing is ripped due to excelerated growth and attacks from other villagers.

- His eyes are crazed, drool is dripping from his mouth.

- Everything about him looks dangerous to you, but you notice he never makes any attempt to outright lunge at you.

- Leon's always staring at you from afar.

- His eyes are trained on you but he usually is atop a building or behind something.

- You don't entirely see his full appearance until you run into danger.

- Perhaps you're surrounded by infected villagers, or managed to find an even bigger/stronger foe.

- You think you're a goner...

- Left to die by being maimed in this village that reeks of death.

- Then, there's a roar.

- Before your eyes you see Leon on a rooftop, eyes burning in fury at your enemies.

- You heave a sigh in defeat and close your eyes, trying to keep your distance.

- Then you see Leon not attacking you, but defending you.

- The beast growls and does what he can to protect you until nothing else moves except you and him.

- Then Leon turns to you, eyes focused before keeping close to you.

- He can no longer just watch you from afar.

- He needs to be beside you to keep you safe.

- That leads to you and Leon becoming (forced) companions.

- He never talks much, only following you around like a strange puppy.

- Not many come near you after Leon forces himself by your side.

- Most of the time he walks on two legs, yet sometimes four is faster.

- When Las Plagas! Leon is feeling protective he'd probably wrap himself around you and growl.

- If that doesn't work then he goes in for the kill.

- There's also a chance Leon would be affectionate even in this form.

- Although he is rough with it.

- Rubbing against you harshly, pulling you into abandoned buildings to hold you....

- Leon becomes an overprotective guard dog as a Las Plagas beast when it comes to you.

- In his human mind, he adores and loves you.

- Although the parasite makes him much more like a beast when it comes to expressing such thoughts.

- He doesn't care what happens to anyone who crosses him or you.

- As long as he can keep you safe then his claws will rip them to shreds.

It’s Okay, You’re Okay

Sebastian Sallow x Male Reader

A/N: Sorry Sebastian is so ooc, this didn’t end up being how I had planned it and I'm too lazy to rewrite it. I’ll probably remake this later and try to make Sebastian more like himself.

~ SPOILERS FOR SEBASTIAN’S QUESTLINE ~

It hadn’t been that long since you found Sebastian in the catacombs, holding the relic he had wished would cure his sister. That day left Sebastian in pieces, not only losing his uncle but also Anne too. Ever since, the two of you usually spent your days in the dorms, Sebastian in your arms as you lay in bed. Your focus was currently on a book, one that Sebastian had recommended to you recently. Said boy had his head resting on your chest and his hands wrapped around your torso as your free one scratched his back.

You feel the boy below you stir awake, his palms pressing slightly on your waist as he stretches. Your fingers find home in his locks, now scratching at his roots. You throw him a lazy smile as his head slightly lifts, eyes dull as he looks into your own. Your smile drops. “Are you feeling alright, Love?” Sebastian’s lips pull into a false smile before his eyes start watering, looking away as the first tear falls. The book is paid no more attention as it's dropped beside you, both of your hands making their way to his cheeks. “Sebastian?”

"Did I-" He cuts himself off as he sniffles. "Do you think I did the right thing?" His voice cracked as he spoke, palms sloppily wiping his eyes. This wasn’t the first time Sebastian had woken up like this. You slightly nod as you speak. "Sebastian, you did what you had-" "But was it right to do?" Sebastian's voice raises as he interrupts you. "Sebastian.." You sit up, and Sebastian moves off of you, instead sitting in front of you. His breathing becomes erratic as his hands begin to grasp the sheets. Your hand slowly moves towards his arm; he pulls back quickly before he bursts.

"Don't!" Your arm jerks back in response to the tone, his body starts to quiver as he pulls into himself. "I'm a murderer!" His fingers grab at his clothes, pulling at the cloth for comfort. "No.. No Sebastian." You try to keep your voice calm; the shake in your voice slightly audible. "You're not a murderer." You slowly inch your way towards his shaking body. "I killed him!" You grab onto his shoulder. "Sebastian." His eyes shoot to your face. "Please, I need you to breathe." You wrap your arms around his folded body, he falls onto you and your hands grip him tightly as you whisper. "It's okay, you're okay." you start to softly rock him. "I'm here, Sebastian."

Sebastian's choked sobs become muffled against your shirt, your fingers gently running through his thick hair. "It'll be okay," you say calmly, soothing the boy against you. “ -’m sorry” He hesitated. “I shouldn’t have shouted at you.” You lightly smile, placing a kiss upon his head. “It’s alright, Love” His red eyes gaze up. “I didn’t mean to.” Your hand moves to his chin. “I know you didn’t, Seb.” You press a chaste against his ripped lips before raising your head, watching Sebastian start to lighten up. You kiss away the drying tears on his cheeks before leaving a final kiss on his forehead. It didn't take long for his quiet snores to start filling the room. You smile to yourself as you get comfortable below him. Holding him as close as you could as you started to drift to sleep.

A/N: Now that I’ve read it over, it seems very rushed so sorry for that too. Is it obvious I’ve never written comfort stuff before lol

as someone who knows fuck all about the met gala or the fashion world genuinely what is happening

so the met gala is a massive charity gala that happens annually as a fundraiser for the metropolitan museum of arts fashion institute. it is themed and each theme relates to the primary exhibit that will be held at the met costume institute for the year. the theme is not dress code, but the people who attend often dress in acordance or relation to the theme; a good met gala to look up some of the fashion for is the 2018 met gala 'heavenly bodies: fashion and the catholic imagination'

the tickets to the gala are $$$ as it is a charity for a high profile museum in new york city and usually who shows up to it tends to be celebrities of all sorts, influencers recently, some titans of industry, and some politicians

this year, the theme is in honor of karl lagerfeld. karl lagerfeld is a piece of shit. i hope he burns. he was head of chanel and considered critical to the revival of the brand and was heavily involved with it from the 80s to his death in 2019- the iconic chanel tweed suit is his doing. karl lagerfeld was openly misogynistic, against gay marriage (the whole interviews a fucking nightmare), and islamophobic (note the subtle antisemitism involved in his islamophobia too). he dismissed sexual assault frequently and defended his stylist who was accused of it. his parents were active members of the nazi party and that is how he got his financial start.

this information has all been available for decades. everyone knew lagerfeld has been a massive piece of shit since the early 2010s bare minimum and his only meaningful contributions to fashion were the revival of chanel and a few basic fucking pieces he essentially kept remaking. he was honestly quite good with runway staging concepts & sets but a lot of the time especially in his later years it was recycled material in the fashion lines he worked on. chanel was masturbatory self-referrentialism by the time of his death and still is, just more shapeless now. the only reason this is happening is because anna wintour (another rotted bitch) is on the met gala board and was besties with lagerfeld so shes probably behind this whole to-do

fashion blogs arent excited because its fucking lagerfeld, whats everyone gonna do. wear a chanel tweed suit and a bad white wig? & anyone into fashion with a sense of ethics is cringing because hes a piece of shit. in general its a stupid theme and its going to suck. plus vogue which does primary coverage of the met gala has switched to a subscription only model which means viewership and coverage of the met gala will be significantly reduced on top of all this lol. terrible year for annoying people who love fashion (me)

"soldier, poet, king" + POV of team 7 from someone in the far future, maybe through the lens of a distant descendant build off surviving myths and historical texts

Dear anon, I hope you don’t mind, but I took a gentle step sideways and backwards with this prompt. In my search for all of the royalty!AU posts, I refreshed my memory about Foundation of Yesterday in which DoS/the Elemental Nations is the extremely distant past of FFVII. Coupled with the SOLDIERs of FFVII and my assigning of which member of Team Seven corresponds to which character of FFVII, I think it all combines well with your prompt. Additionally, I couldn’t tell which members of Team Seven I would assign soldier, poet, and king. But it was easy for me to assign solider, poet, and king to their FFVII descendants and then reverse engineer from there. So we get Cloud, obvious Soldier, descendant of blue-eyed blonde, storm and strife. Yuffie as King, inheriting a pendant that summons a sleeping goddess in times of need. And Vincent is less obvious as Poet, but you can probably get into a sort of meditative philosophizing of working for tyrants and falling in love with a scientist only for her to betray you and then going into hibernation and maybe meeting your distant ancestor who is Chaos? Unfortunately, I don’t actually know that much about FFVII—as I’ve never played it, nor the remake—except for what I’ve gleaned from fanfiction and cultural osmosis, lol. And then this does get into the problem, similar to the Fear to Tread (a world unseen) post in that the primary setting/POV of the fic WOULD be the world/characters that I am less accustomed to writing and then making up the history of the world between the events of DoS and FFVII. So I’m going to continue with my gentle sideways and backwards steps and give you this, instead:

(king)

When Yuffie finally activates the strange summon materia she inherited from her father, everything goes dark. At first she panics—maybe something went wrong? did she not have enough mana? was she cursed with blindness?—but then little pin pricks of light appear, like distant stars coming ever closer.

She doesn’t see what the summon does exactly, the battle ends so quickly after that, but that doesn’t matter too much considering the summon just… doesn’t leave.

The Shikabane-hime—once the tendrils of star-filled shadows have done their damage and tucked themselves away out of existence—looks human. Like one of Yuffie’s people, a girl far from home, displaced from Wutai, just like her.

But as the other members of the party shift and stare, uncertain as to what it happening, she remembers who exactly she’s looking at. What she is looking at, that is: a summon, inherited from her father, who only showed up now after her homeland has been ruined by ShinRa.

Later, when they have made camp for the night, when the Shikabane-hime has still not disappeared, even though Yuffie’s original mana offering should have long run out, she confronts the summon.

“Where were you?” Yuffie asks in Wutaian so the others can’t understand her. She tries to make it accusatory, tries to sound authoritative, like a proper Princess of Wutai, but she’s afraid it comes out more hurt, plaintive, like a child who realizes that legends are nothing more than stories, than lies. Like the legend that the Shikabane-hime would come in Wutai’s time of need.

The Shikabane-hime tilts its head, gaze sharp but not unkind. Yuffie thinks for a moment, perhaps it can’t understand her, what language do summons speak? Please not Midgarish.

But then the Shikabane-hime answers, “Your father never called for me.” Its gaze, somehow, becoming sharper but also more kind. Concerned, maybe. “Perhaps he did not believe. Perhaps it was not enough of a threat.”

“Not enough of a threat?” Yuffie shouts.

The rest of the party turn their way, hands on their weapons, except for Vincent whose attention had been on the Shikabane-hime the whole time. He waves them off and the others, with reluctance, stand down.

“What do you mean not enough of a threat? ShinRa invaded our homeland. It is a shell of itself! My father—” she cuts herself off before she can say anything else. Before she can realize what else in her childhood is a story, a lie.

“In the future, you will reclaim it, rebuild it,” the Shikabane-hime says, too casual for a command, too simple for a prophecy. “But first, we must ensure there is a future.”

—

(poet)

When Shikako meets the almost familiar red eyes of Vincent Valentine, she does not say the following:

Is he doing okay in there? How did he manage to survive so long? If you could let him know I’m sorry, I miss him. Tell him thank you from me for holding on so long. Too long. Tell him he can let go, that he doesn’t have to stay if it hurts. If he needs to move on, it’s okay. I’ll meet him there when I’m done. And I’ll bring Naruto with me. You can rest now, Sasuke, I’m here now. I’ll see you soon.

When Vincent looks at the Shikabane-hime—

(Kako, Yuffie introduces it as, trying to play it off as just a late coming fellow Wutaian. If the other members of the party make the connection between the godly manifestation of starlit shadows and the normal looking woman following them blandly, they aren’t making a fuss about it, so neither will Vincent.)

—the Chaos inside of him settles into peace.

—

(soldier)

“You resemble your ancestor quite a bit,” Kako says to Cloud during a quiet stretch of their travels. It is the first thing she says to him.

Cloud nods, because what else can he do in response to that—

(Of course nobody believes that Kako is just a normal Wutaian woman, but they’re up against the biggest superpower in the world and also an ancient evil and also an undying Sephiroth while the Planet riots in its attempt to save itself, like a fever willing to burn everything up to stave off the infection.

They’ll take any help they can get, imposter or no. And it’s not as if he has room to talk about that anyway.)

—but he does notice that her eyes are closed as she says this, implying her remark isn’t about a visual resemblance but something else, something deeper.

“He was named after a storm,” she says, and for once her tone changes, the apathy gently flavored with fondness, “but he was truly more like the sun.” Her expression, too, shifts: a small, sad smile gracing her face.

And because Cloud knows what it’s like to lose someone you admired—in both ways, the aching grief of losing an admired person, and the sharp lance of a hero no longer being admirable—he asks her, stumbling “Were you—did you know them well?”

Her eyes open at this, an assessing glance sent his way. Her smile melts away, as if it had never been.

“Yes,” she says, tone flattened once more. “He was a good man and the Planet turned him into a WEAPON.”

Cloud startles. He looks to Aerith as he does whenever Planet and Cetra stuff are brought up, but he finds her face turned away, as if guilty, not wanting to meet his or Kako’s eyes.

“But no need to worry,” Kako says, voice not so much reassuring as it is grimly determined. “I will ensure you do not follow his path too closely.”

I can't stop thinking about him so I had to make another post here with him ^^'

So yes, THE MAN! And I haven't given him a proper introduction yet! :'D and while I'd prefer to introduce him with his ref sheet, it looks pretty bad so I just...I'll be remaking it later lol

At 38 years old, Father Novel is passionate, stubborn, cautious, and pretends to not to hear any insults. But if you manage to break him he’ll probably have a massive mood swing before instantly regretting it and wanting to die.

No matter what, his faith never waivers, even though it doesn't usually help. Father Novel is also a bit superstitious as well, and he almost always carries salt with him wherever he goes.

Father Novel really loves to read and write, and he likes to keep a little diary around. He also just likes libraries which is kinda weird since he's a book but he can do what he wants I don't mind lmao

Gore and Religious imagery warning!

Now, as for the gore art, this is a sketch done with the digital pen so please ignore the weird looking lines and really really bad background :'> this is his 2nd exorcism, and it didn't go well, he gets his eye gouged out and almost dies, but Bishop Sorrel takes him to the hospital and saves him!

After getting disfigured (and partially blinded) he gets really self conscious and scared and he doesn't wanna do anything anymore. But Bishop Sorrel, with his nonexistent subtlety, basically tells Father Novel that he now owes him for saving his life. To help with the really ugly scars, Bishop Sorrel gifts him a bookmark to cover his eye with, and it helps...kinda...not really lmao

So, Father Novel has to face his fears and continue being an exorcist to pay back Bishop Sorrel for the hospital bill as well as general expenses, and exorcising demons is a good way to take your mind off of your looks because you're fearing for your life instead 😌

i want to take a short moment here to speculate about some things i just found in pokemon violet and what that might mean for the next pokemon games coming up (as well as maybe some volo reference?) putting this under a cut since there are sorta mild spoilers here? maybe? like probably not really considered spoliers but just to be safe ;w; for context this involves something mentioned in one of the later history lectures at the academy and some information in the Scarlet/Violet Book (also found at the academy on the ground floor in the entrance hall):

ok the first thing i want to mention that piqued my interest is what Ms. Raifort talks about during the History (4) lecture:

now of course this merchant could be anyone, but my heart really wants to believe that this was volo and not just because i’m such a huge volo fan and want to see him again (hhhh volo please come back... 😭) - but also because of what’s mentioned in a curious little book called the Violet Book (or the Scarlet Book I would assume if you’re playing Scarlet version) this is the page I’m referring to:

Heath talks here about wandering off from the exploration team, only to wake up when found unconscious by the team later on to remembering nothing but talking with someone in an unfamiliar place, like he was in a dream... obviously there’s some interesting stuff going on in the drawing/writing he references on the left that he has no memory of doing but... I have to wonder. who is this person he spoke with? and where? again, would looooove to speculate that this is volo, that he maybe is a time traveler, something like that, and in addition to him being the merchant that brought the king the treasures. again, big speculation here buuuut i’d love to believe it 😭 another thing that REALLY got my interest was this (in the same book, the Violet Book):

this imagined pokemon... verrrrry much looks like an amalgamation of the swords of justice from unova (with maybe a dialga butt? lol) now, we of course know we’re most likely going to at least get remakes of gen 5 in the near(er) future. but what’s way more curious about this all is what Scarlet’s version of the imagined pokemon looks like in their book:

Raikou, Entei and Suicune. the Johto trio. are we maybe getting a legends game based in johto? in addition to the gen 5 remakes for unova? or maybe we also get a legends game for unova? like why these three, y’know? JUST... HHHH... like this is made even MORE curious for me because, tying back into Volo, I’ve seen a lot of people mention that he would definitely be interested in the Sinjoh Ruins since it has ties to Arceus and the Ruins of Alph (IN JOHTO) and just- I dunno... it’s just so interesting to me again, wild speculation on my part but this stuff definitely caught my attention and i had to talk about it a little bit ;w;

#pokemon scarlet #pokemon violet #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon volo #ginkgo guild volo #pokemon scarlet spoilers #pokemon violet spoilers
