Can I request Piers from Pokemon with a Male S/O who is Snarky and straight forward but is actually an incredibly sweet guy with a Hydregion or a Dracovish?

Preferably S/O Is a lot bigger or taller than Piers

Hydreigon is one of my favorite Pokemon ever. Absolutely love that badass mf, plus I'm honestly just a sucker for dark types. Also as a tall bastard I fully support having a tall reader character.

I've never written for Piers before and I'm notoriously bad at accents. Tried my best lmao

Piers X Male Reader

Reader is not the SWSH protagonist. He's explicitly stated to have a Hydreigon, but the rest of his team is never mentioned. Reader's appearance is never mentioned, other than his height - he's much taller than Piers, and is briefly mentioned to be taller than Raihan.

Author's note: My descriptions of places in Galar might be wrong because I haven't played SWSH in a bit, so I'm mostly just going off memory.

Piers enjoyed the rain. It certainly droned out the noise of Spikemuth, turning the rabid cheering of Team Yell into a mere afterthought, lingering in the background.

He didn't regret giving up his position as the gym leader. If he was still the figurehead of Spikemuth's gym, he'd be out there right now battling whichever challenger waltzed in. And while he did enjoy the thrill of a good battle, he did not enjoy how raw his throat felt afterwards from how much he had to shout.

Piers was stretched out across the overstuffed sofa in his home, lazily strumming a particular tune on his guitar. He found himself playing it often, even if it was remarkably simple, because of one man... ____.

The first time they'd ever spoken, Piers was out on his old stage, alone in the dead of night. He'd plucked out that little tune on a whim, simply making noise because he could, when ____ had made himself known.

"Sounds like rubbish," He'd remarked as he strutted up, with a smirk like a Meowth with a shiny coin. A Hydreigon floated behind him, snickering along with its trainer. "You must be the Piers I've heard so much about."

It wasn't a great first impression, and Piers had just assumed he was just another snarky challenger with a bad attitude. He was dead wrong, in fact. ____ had asked for his number almost directly after that, on the promise of giving him a 'better tune.'

Piers initially ignored ____ whenever he texted, but found that he couldn't stop playing that little tune. Even if he didn't have an instrument handy - he'd click his pen, tap his fingers, struggling to figure out why it sounded wrong. He didn't know why he eventually answered, but he certainly didn't regret his decision that day.

How long had it been now? Three years? He couldn't even remember. The tune didn't change, but it felt different now. It didn't annoy him whenever he happened to play it again.

Piers wasn't normally an avid TV watcher, but he made it a point to tune in to the televised battles ____ participated in. He was battling Raihan right now, looking rather bored - his Hydreigon had taken down the rest of the dragon tamer's Pokemon without much struggle.

"RING OUT, DRAGON'S ROAR! LET HIM FEEL IT IN HIS BONES!" Raihan bellowed over the chanting crowd, urging his weakened Duraludon onwards. "DRAGON CLAW!"

"I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH SKELETONS IN YOUR CLOSET, RAIHAN! FOCUS BLAST!" ____ snapped back, before visibly frowning at his own remark. Piers snorted. He always was particular about sounding cool and witty.

The two dragon Pokemon attacked at the same time, but Hydreigon was faster - its Focus Blast struck the Duraludon hard enough to kick up grass and dirt from the turf, the shockwave rippling off its metal hide. The cameras briefly faltered, before panning down to reveal Duraludon was down.

"DURALUDON IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! ____ IS THE WINNER!" The announcer cheered as the crowd began to roar, Hydreigon bellowing victoriously. Raihan grumbled something to himself, before simply shrugging and sauntering towards ____ as he returned his Pokemon.

The two shared words as the camera panned away from them, and Piers could see Raihan was clearly not used to talking to someone taller than him. It was quite funny.

Piers continued to strum lazily, eventually turning off the telly since he had no reason to continue watching. The moment he put the remote down his phone rang, as if on cue, and he picked it up without hesitation. Only one person ever called him - Marnie preferred texting, and so did he, to be frank. That didn't really stop ____ though.

"You comin' home?" Piers asked the moment he answered, standing up to return his guitar to its stand.

"Course I am, where else would I be going?" ____ casually replied, the sounds of rain nearly drowning him out. "It's pouring like hell, might be late if the trains are delayed. You want anythin' while I'm out?"

"Nah, jus' get home safe. Don't track water everywhere." Piers chortled.

"No promises. See ya soon.~" ____ hung up, and Piers finally hauled himself off the sofa. It was getting pretty late, he realized, so he began his usual nightly routine of tidying up. He'd already eaten and was wearing something comfortable, so all he really had to do was wind down.

Piers heard the front door open, heard the sound of shoes being kicked off, and the distinctive rumble of a Hydreigon that was disgruntled about having to return to its ball. ____ shouted from the other room.

"I'm home! Gonna pop in the shower, feel free to join me." ____ laughed at his own little joke, trudging off again. Piers could only roll his eyes.

Piers was already lounging in bed by the time ____ returned, still damp and looking much happier in a dry set of clothes. The taller trainer casually tossed himself down onto the mattress with enough force to make Piers bounce a little, flailing awkwardly to keep his balance.

"Oi." Piers scuffed ____ on the top of the head. "Watch it."

"Sorry," ____ replied, absolutely not sorry. "You doin' anything tomorrow?"

"Nah, not really."

"Want to go out somewhere?" ____ adjusted so he was actually laying in bed, back audibly popping as he stretched. "I'm skippin' out on the Star Tournament, but I don't want to sit around inside all day..."

"Sure, but we can decide where tomorrow. I'm tired." Piers huffed.

"Fair enough." ____ hooked an arm around Piers casually, pulling him in closer. For someone with... Well, quite the snippy attitude, ____ was very affectionate. Sarcasm was just kind of how he communicated best, which made him seem significantly ruder than he actually was.

Piers was probably the only person who ever got to see his softer side. The two fit together well, even if they were bad at vocalizing it at times. Piers leaned forward momentarily to switch the lamp on the nightstand off.

____ remained firmly attached to him, their legs entangled lazily together. He already looked like he was half asleep, waiting for Piers to lay down so he could cuddle him better.

The moment Piers laid back down, ____ wound his arms comfortably around him, huffing a short sigh. He was half curled around him at this point, too tall to properly stretch out on the bed. Piers wasn't exactly short, but being around ____ definitely made him feel short. Not that he minded.

Settled comfortably in his partner's arms, Piers drifted off, listening to the rhythm of the raindrops against the windows.

Woo hoo I quit my job because my manager was an absolute bitch who treated me and my coworkers like shit

parting thoughts on ragna crimson (first cour)

i think it was... the first episode? that i didn't really vibe with. felt like a decent enough fantasy, but unremarkable in just about every way

THEN A WEIRD GUY APPEAR

iirc it wasn't until the second week that we really met crimson, which is kind of a shame because imo the show doesn't really start to come together until then. i like ragna well enough, but it's really the combination of the two of them that compels me

always love a duo where they have the same goal, but drastically different personalities/values/modes of operation/etc

always extra love a duo that's like "team up with me, a dragon, to kill all dragons then once we've achieved our goal you'll kill me too"

(like vanoe but with dragons. i think. my memories of vnc are actually very hazy)

and always extra extra love when ayu gets to just do his thing, playing guys who are girls who are guys who are etc etc etc

it's certainly not the best of the season, and still overall fairly unremarkable imo, but also not really bad in any way. if there's one thing i find lackluster i guess it's that i feel like they don't lean enough into this... pseudo-past life thing that ragna has going on (with the powers and presumably memories of his 'older self' passed down to him)

like ragna is still more or less his 'normal' self in terms of personality, which is fine, he's got a fun enough personality, but if he had some like... old man tendencies mixed in there, or if we saw more of his memories with crimson maybe? i don't know, just feels like something more could have been done with that fusion of past and present (or rather future and present)

looking forward to the second cour but at the same time... hoping this series won't be too long lol

#crab watches #ragna crimson #parting thoughts #i feel like... this isn't really a criticism but #much like vnc i feel like the main draw for me here is the Final battle #where it goes from ragna and crimson to ragna vs crimson #so it feels like the type of series that really shouldn't be dragged out for too long #unless each of the fights are going to be genuinely exceptional (which they're... not)#(like they're not bad. they're fine. but it's no snv)#anyway i guess it's just. the appeal of this kind of set-up (to me) is seeing these fools work together #possibly get attached #and have a very dramatic/emotional/well-choreographed final fight #toxic doomed yaoi and all that #but ragna and crimson don't really seem to be going in that direction like there's no fondness there lmao #which i actually like!! it's a bit unexpected and makes their dynamic fun in a refreshing way #they're working together but fully committed to fucking hating each other (or at best Not Caring about each other) and i love that for them #but it's just like. well if there's not going to be some intense character/relationship development #then the enjoyment of the series hinges all on the fights which are okay but not Spectacular #so... basically i'm still interested for now but don't think that interest would last for more than like 18 volumes max #and seeing as the manga is already 13 volumes and still counting... well we'll see

Ion & Emily

Cannonball's Story - Part I

Ion & Emily Masterpost

Emily and I are laying in bed. She's reading something on her phone… something about deconstructivism I think, I'm not one hundred percent sure. Don't get me wrong, her art is amazing and I absolutely love when she talks shop, but I sometimes get lost when she gets really deep into it.

Sorry. I'm getting distracted… Emily. Girlfriend. My very favorite person in the world. I love her. She's amazing.

Okay, so we're laying in bed. Her back's to me and I'm tracing the dragon tattoo on her back with my fingertips. All of a sudden, something clicks in my mind.

"Wait a minute," I say. "You're indestructible. How do you have tattoos?"

Because she's former child superhero Cannonball, notable for being completely impervious to any injury. I still can't get over the fact that I'm dating a celebrity I had a huge crush on as a teenager… sorry, distracted again.

Anyway, she puts her phone down and rolls over to face me and she's got this really thoughtful look on her face, like there's a story here with a ton of emotion behind it. She looks at her wrist and the really rough star tattoo there. Like, super rough, like a diy at home stick and poke looking thing.

"Do you want the short version or the long version?" she asks.

Oh god, I want the long version.

"I want the version you want to share," I reply.

She smirks. She knows I want the long version.

"Alright, so like… two months after I turned eighteen…"

Emily wiped the condensation off the mirror. A black eye stared back at her. It took a lot for her to bruise, indestructible as she was, but hit her hard enough in just the right way and it could leave a mark. For example, a thrown I-beam to the face could do the trick.

She and John had been fighting Topaz Titan and things had gotten slightly out of hand. John, Shadowkid, made the mistake of stepping in wet concrete. Topaz saw his shot and launched the projectiles at him. Emily barely managed to shove him out of the way when it hit. She must have blacked out for a minute or two; when she came too John had beaten the absolutely crap out of Topaz. Both of them knew how to end a fight just as well as drag one out. The I-beam had been meant to kill, so it was an invitation for the gloves to come off.

The fact was Topaz Titan had meant to hurt them. And that scared the crap out of her.

John was content to linger and preen with the media, but all she had wanted to do was go home and stand in the shower until she could forget and just not feel any more.

Normal teenagers weren't supposed to worry about shit like this. Normal kids her age were filling out college applications and worrying about asking their classmates to dances or whatever. Emily wasn't normal. She never had been normal.

How could she be? The daughter of Cobalt Blade and Moon Fox had a legacy to uphold. Thank god she had a twin brother to help shoulder that burden… Shadow Kid and Cannonball, 2011's Junior Superhero Team of the Year…

In some ways, that was worse, but at least she wasn't alone.

As the room filled with steam, she saw her whole miserable life stretch out in front of her. Fight the bad guys, pose for the cameras, rinse, wash, repeat ad infinitum. Sure, some of the bad guys were in on the bit, vital cogs in the superhero industrial complex. They were there to help her sell toothpaste or athletic gear or whatever the hell product the sponsor of the week was trying to sell.

But then there were always the real bad guys, the real threats. When they showed up, it would be on her to defend and protect. It would be on her to take every punch, every bullet, every lightning bolt. She was Cannonball. Her powers put her right in the line of fire. Every. Single. Time.

And it would never end.

She glared at the girl in the mirror, daring her to derail the carrousel of her life. She wanted to scream, she wanted… something… anything.

Not that that would accomplish anything substantive. The last time she had done something impulsive, the last time she had tried to take control of her life, it got spun into something marketable. She chopped off her hair and stuck a pride pin on her costume and now she was another symbol for rainbow capitalism.

And yeah, she had submitted applications to art schools, just a tiny little act of secret rebellion. The problem was her schedule was so packed, her portfolio was notably barren. There was no time for art. There was barely time for regular school work.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a sharp knock at the door. A moment later, Janice entered. Despite her dark mood, Emily felt a tiny thrill at the presence of her girlfriend-

"Wait, wait, wait. Pause. Time out." I interject. "Janice? As in Janice from media relations?"

Emily pinches the bridge of her nose and lets out a heavy sigh.

"Yeah… that Janice. She interned with our media team. She was two years older than me, she was hot. We ended up dating for a minute."

"...What??"

"Listen, it's not like I had many dating prospects at the time. Can you blame horny dumbass baby lesbian me for falling head over heels for the first girl to bat her eyelashes at me?"

"But… Janice?"

She smacks me with a pillow.

"I'm bearing my soul here, and you're making fun of me," she chides with a wry tone. "Do you want to hear the story or not?"

"Okay, sorry. Please, do continue."

-Janice. Punctual, dependable, occasionally cold Janice.

Emily turned to face her, desperate for some indication that everything was alright, that she was overreacting.

"Ah," Janice said, wincing slightly at the sight of the bruise. "Let's take a look at that."

Her hands were firm and gentle as she took Emily's face in them. She examined the black eye with a clinical expression and pursed lips.

"Well…" she said finally. "It's not too bad. We'll have to cancel tomorrow's photoshoot, but you should be okay for Thursday's interview with some make up. We can do the run through for that during the photoshoot time slot."

Emily felt the bottom drop out of her stomach. She should have anticipated that. She didn't know exactly where the breaking point was until that exact moment.

She pulled away from Janice and faced the mirror once more.

"I can't do this," she whispered, desperately trying to keep her voice from breaking.

Janice cocked her head.

"What? The interview? We can probably-"

"No!" Emily shouted. She gestured to the room with its bland, generic superhero posters. She gestured to where her costume still lay crumpled on the floor. She gestured to the tablet in Janice's hand where every single minute of her life was scheduled.

"This!" Emily snapped. "All of this. I can't do this any more. I can't keep being a superhero. I can't keep going on like this. I can't go on having every damn minute of my life scheduled. I can't go on having the shit beat out of me because I can take a punch. I hate it. I never… goddamnit, I never wanted to do it in the first place. I'm done. I quit."

Janice's mouth dropped open and her eyes practically bugged out. In their entire time together, Janice had always been perfectly composed. Emily had never seen her shaken before this moment. Emily couldn't blame her, she was basically watching her nascent career go up in flames.

"What are you… no, you can't," Janice replied with a slight tremor. "There's… contracts and sponsors and-"

"I don't care," Emily interrupted. "We have an army of lawyers, let them figure it out. I'm. Done."

"Emmy, where is this coming from? Talk to me."

Emily closed her eyes and sighed. This was the hardest part, she knew it was coming, but that didn't make it any easier.

"Janice… I think… I think we're done too."

There was a beat, then a soft gasp.

"Are… are you breaking up with me?"

Emily squeezed her eyes tighter.

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"Oh… I… excuse me…"

Emily didn't open her eyes as Janice fled the room. Instead, she clutched the edge of the sink until her knuckles hurt and gave up trying to fight back her tears.

It was for the best, she told herself. They weren't right for each other, it had always just been some stupid teenager's romantic fantasy. She almost believed it, almost convinced herself that it would be alright. Maybe she'd believe it one day, but right now it felt too raw.

She finally opened her eyes and looked at the girl in the mirror. Despite her heartache, despite the fact that she just upended her entire life, she felt indescribable relief. The whole gamut of emotion warred on inside her as she tried to make sense of her reflection.

The girl staring back at her was Emily. Not Cannonball. Just Emily. Normal, nothing special Emily. It was a version of her that didn't have to worry about posing for photos to sell shampoo or appearing in science education videos aimed at middle schoolers. It was a version of her that could go to college, get an art degree, maybe work at a coffee shop or something to pay the bills. It was a version of her that could be free.

She glanced back at her discarded costume.

She was never wearing it again.

She needed to get out of there. It didn't matter where, just anywhere that wasn't the Tower.

She sprinted to her closet and threw on some street clothes. Ratty jeans, leather jacket, her favorite boots… god, she could wear whatever she wanted and not have to listen to Janice complain about her fashion choices.

That thought brought a twinge of guilt.

No, Janice would be fine. She was too relentless, too driven not to land on her feet. This was for the best.

Emily threw open the door, only to find herself face to face with her brother. They were the same age, minutes apart, but somehow he had managed to gain six inches on her when they were fifteen and she had never caught up, so she had to tilt her head slightly to meet his eyes. Those eyes, the same brown as hers, looked down at her with confusion and concern.

"John," she said dazedly.

His was the one opinion in the world she actually cared about and she wasn't sure she was quite ready for this inevitable confrontation.

"Em… uh… I was just coming to check on you and…" he glanced over his shoulder down the hall. "Is Janice alright? I've never seen her that upset… like, ever."

"I just broke up with her," Emily said dully. "I think I might have broken her heart."

"Okay…" he replied. "Uh… you wanna talk about it?"

She took a breath. Here goes nothing.

"John," she said. "You remember how we promised we'd have each other's backs no matter what?"

"Yeah…" he replied cautiously.

"I don't… I don't know if I can…"

She took another breath.

"I'm quitting the League," she admitted. "I'm retiring. No more Cannonball."

He huffed a laugh and ran a hand through his hair. She blinked in confusion.

"Em," he said with a smile. "I've got your back. I'll always have your back. But, like, that promise wasn't just about super shit. I mean, admit it, you've been totally miserable the past few months."

It was Emily's turn to let out a laugh. Of course he knew. He knew her better than anyone. Maybe he was the only person who knew her.

"Yeah, I guess so," she admitted. "I don't know, it was fun at first, I guess. I just… this isn't the life I want. I don't want to be the punching bag for the rest of my life."

He took her shoulders in his hands and peered down at her.

"Em. It's fine. You can quit. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. Not Janice or mom or dad or even me. You gotta do what's best for you. I love you and I want you to be happy."

More tears filled her eyes.

"Who are you and what have you done with my brother?" she asked as she wiped at her cheeks.

He laughed and she wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace.

"Still got my back?" he asked, returning the hug.

"Mhmm," she replied as more tears fell.

"I need to go out for a bit," she told him when she finally let go. "Gotta clear my head. Can you cover for me?"

"Uhh… how late do you think you'll be back?" he asked warily.

She shrugged.

"As long as you can give me."

TSSM Pokemon Au Part 3

I watched some Pokemon videos and decided to give TSSM characters Pokemon for fun! This is also going off of @hermesserpent-stuff ‘s Spider Nephew Au. Also, there might be some people with the same Pokemon for different reasons; either they fit two people, or it’s to match with someone. I also base some of these Pokemon in different ways, from types, aesthetics, Pokedex Entries, jobs, powers, and backstories. I also won’t mind explaining my reasoning because I did a lot of research for them. Also, I tried o make sure they had diverse types, but some people might have more than 1 of the same type. Another thing is that I like to imagine that Peter and the other villains have 3 Pokemon for their civilian image and then the other 3 for their hero/villain work.

The last thing is that I have only played up to Generation 8, and I have yet to play the other games. So my bad, if there is another Pokemon that suits them better.(let me know plz)

I will highlight their starter and their strongest. Red is their strongest, and blue is their starter. Purple is both. Any that has a * are their secret team.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 4

Otto Octavius/Doc Ock

Reuniclus (Psychic)

Grapploct (Fighting)

Metagross (Steel/Psychic)

Octillery (Water)

Tentacruel (Water/Poison)

Tangrowth (Grass)

His first Pokemon was a Remoraid he befriended in the water. Then a Solosis to help him with his science project until Remoraid turned into an Octillery he had more hands. As he got older and worked on with more heavy machines, he caught a Beldum and quickly evolved it to Metagross. Since he still wanted to be hands-on with his project with some distance without using his Pokemon, he created his tentacles after Octillery. After becoming Doc Ock, he caught more Pokemon with longer limbs like him.

Adrien Toomes/Vulture

Scizor (Bug/Steel)

Skarmory (Steel/Flying)

Flygon (Ground/Dragon)

Mandibuzz (Dark/Flying)

Archeops (Rock/Flying)

Staraptor (Normal/Flying)

Adrien did catch Pokemon when he got older since he wasn’t sure what he wanted. After catching Skarmory, he got into robotics and got inspiration from Skarmory. Since he wanted to make a suit that a person could fly with, he caught multiple Pokemon, not just Flying-type Pokemon. He caught types that can fly too to study them.

Max Dillion/Electo

Rotom (Electric/?)

Toxtricity (Electric/Poison)

Primeape (Fighting)

Magnezone (Electric/Steel)

Grapploct (Fighting)

Stunfisk (Ground/Electric)

Max started out with a Rotom he found in an abandoned mansion. He then got a Mankey when he found Rotom messing with it. Even though Max was very chill, he got along well with Mankey. Then he got a Magnemite after dropping out of school and started working. After he became Electro, he was actually found by Toxtricity when he was fighting Spiderman and wanted to help. After breaking free, he got Grapploct from Otto. Then he found Stunfisk alone, needing a full team to fight Spiderman.

Flint Marko/Sandman

Excadrill (Ground/Steel)

Palossand (Ghost/Ground)

Steelix (Steel/Ground)

Machoke (Fighting)

Heracross (Bug/Fighting)

Thievul (Dark)

Flint started with a Machop when he was younger as he watched some Machamps work in construction. He likes the idea of big and strong Pokemon since he believes he wasn’t smart enough for certain jobs; he can at least do heavy labor. He then gets a Heracross he finds in the woods. As he grew up and had a job, he felt like he wasn’t getting enough and that it wasn’t fair that he can barely make a living as he rooms with Alex O’Hirn. When they turn to crime as the answer, they decide to get another Pokemon to help them, which is why he caughtThievul it it can steal and an Excadrill to break into buildings. When he was taken by Hammerhead to Osborn’s secret lab and told that they were trying to do an experiment, he agreed. As he was being hooked up, he noticed a Palossand. He didn’t know that they were trying to put Pokemon DNA on people. When he was turned into Sandman, he took Palossand with him. As he tested his new powers, he accidentally bumped into Steelix as they were both in the ground and caught it.

Alex O’Hirn/Rhino

Aggron (Steel/Rock)

Poliwrath (Water/Fighting)

Sableye (Dark/Ghost)

Rhyperior (Ground/Rock)

Machoke (Fighting)

Bewear (Normal/Fighting)

When Alex was younger, he didn’t really care what Pokemon he caught first since he just wanted a friend. He caught Stuffle as soon as he saw it. Then he befriended a Poliwag later when he went to a pond. As he got older, he caught a Machoke for a job. He ended up meeting Flint, and both became friends. Even as they moved in with each other, they still had money problems and agreed with Flint on stealing. For this, he caught a Sableye. When it was his turn to be experimented on, they tried to recreate Pokemon’s skin as armor to put on people. O’ Hirn saw a Rhyperior in a glass case when he was there. When he becomes Rhino and releases Rhyperior. While joining the Sinister Six, he caught an Aggron.

Toomes’ Staraptor looks after Harry’s Taillow since his owner does the same with Harry.

Octillery is Otto’s friendliest Pokemon since it remembers what Otto was like before all of this happened. It hopes he turns back to the softer person he was and won’t look down on others.

Bewear can now hug Rhino without worrying that she might crush his owner.

No one can tell the Machokes apart except for O’Hirn and Flint.

Primate is ready to throw hands for Electro anytime he gets mad.

Otto has his Grapploct wear a collar to tell his apart from Electro’s

Flint likes making sandcastles with Palossand for fun.

Peter might be seen riding Steelix or any other large Pokemon and it makes Otto worry a lot.

#tssm #doc ock #otto octavius #electro #max dillon #Adrien toomes #vulture #flint marko #snadman #alex ohirin #rhno #pokemon

Got some questions for today :)

1: do the duo like kid friendly horror? Like monster house, coraline, Casper etc…

2: what was the duos first day as superheroes together?

3: would mar’i dye her hair?

4: saw a post saying that Jake is a fan of Star Wars, what’s his favorite movie, game, and character? I can see him and Chris playing Lego Star Wars the skywalker saga in couch co-op.

5: what are they gonna dress up as this upcoming Halloween?

6: what’s their favorite candy?

1. They partially grew up on that stuff if anything. It’s a Halloween tradition for Chris and Jake to marathon those movies (mainly Coraline, Nightmare before Christmas, Paranorman, Frakenweenie and if their parents allow it, Beetlejuice) after a night out Trick or treating.

2. The Duo’s first ever joint mission came when classic alien villain Brainiac once successfully captured the Justice League, the Titans along with most of both the Kents and Graysons in both Metropolis and Bludhaven, leaving it up to Chris and Jake after the two are the only ones who safely evaded being shrunk along with their respective cities. While they started separate on different parts of Brianiac’s ship, they met up at the storage room for all those cities the Coluan had collected. While Chris faced a one and one battle against the cyborg, Jake frantically searched for any button or wire he can to free the cities while also making sure Brainiac didn’t launch a probe into the Sun which could’ve created a planet destroying supernova.

After trial, error, getting roughly pounded and various other issues, the two realize that by working side by side, combining their strengths and tactics, only then was Brainiac beaten down, granting Jake the codes needed to stop the supernova probe while Chris flew the bottled cities back to their rightful places, twisting off the caps allowing them to grow back to normal size (for a bonus he even did the same the long lost Kryptonian city of Kandor at the South Pole, a vital part for Thara Ak Var’s story later). Soon, Brainiac was turned over to Project Cadmus’ custody, the day was saved.

It’ll be about a week or two later when Jake was investigating stolen Kryptonian and Tamaranean tech from the aforementioned Cadmus along with other high tech places, which leads to him calling up Chris if he’d like to join on his secret investigation, an offer Chris happily accepts. This was the first official mission together after the small taste of it they got with Brianiac’s invasion.

Thus, the Starburst Duo was born.

3. Highly doubt it. Her hair already leaves sparkly purple streaks when in flight and as far as she’s concerned, that’s good enough for her. She knows how to dye hair but that doesn’t mean she’ll do it on herself. Lol

4. He adores and favors The Force Awakens as it was his first Star Wars film. It’s the one film out of the Sequel Trilogy that everyone he knows likes as well so there’s that working out. His favorite characters are many by the ones that pop to his mind include Luke, Finn, Ezra, Vader, Dooku, Mace, Rex and of course the Ewoks. Both The LEGO games and Republic Commando are his games of choice and yes Chris and him absolutely have a blast with it together. It’s common for them to fool around Dexter’s Diner swinging their lightsabers all over the place.

5. Chris - Probably as Son Gohan (Cell Games Saga) from Dragon Ball

Jake - Most likely as the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who since his Uncle Tim in turn is going as the Tenth (or Fourteenth) Doc.

6. You will be surprised how many Red Vines packs and other licorice flavors Jake has stored away inside the back corner of the fridge. Even Black licorice doesn’t taste bad to him at all

Meanwhile, Chris favors Twix, both bars. He’s bipartisan in the debate over Left Side or Right Side

As for them both, they of course would take their team’s namesake, Starbursts, any day.

I swear, these questions are getting more interesting with every single ask my friend. @gothicghost2000

I keep dissociating and forgetting the names of my Tool Gods Links, so that obviously means I need to do a lot of silly OC question things.

So.

What are the TG Links doing at a fancy castle ball?

Bloodfeather- There aren't enough people in his Hyrule for a ball. If there are he doesn't want to be there. He's sticking close to any windows and staring at the sky with increasing desperation as the event goes on.

Hope- Honestly I think he's really clumsy. Tiny child tries to attend a ball, gets tripped over and knocks himself out on a nearby potted plant.

Smithy- He can put up with the fanfare for a bit but he'll either end up trapping a bunch of nobles in his Infodump Event Horizon or critiquing the quality of the nearest metalwork. A safe place to put him is near the guards, he'll wear them down into talking shop and maybe small town smalltalk.

Four- Get him out of there. He's too anxious to last long. He dances a lot (and very well) but he's nobody's favorite dance partner, because he dances to ward off The Anxiety. A ball feels too much like a dungeon crawl with no clear win condition. When it's bad he starts reflexively pickpocketing.

Lost- He's great at balls. He doesn't talk, which occasionally gets him in trouble, but he's very charming and nobody can tell he's bored out of his gourd. Politics are So Stupid and he hopes Zelda socially destroys someone. Or asks him to. Please. He wants to be in the garden with the fairies.

Found- He's also great at balls. He's got slightly more patience and a willingness to pay attention to the conversation around him. He dances very well, but the only thing he really enjoys about balls is traumatizing a random noble in a way they can't prove or tag-team snarking quietly on the sidelines. Also he enjoys the chance to be handsome.

Hibiscus- A ball is an escape room and the way to win is not enter in the first place. She'd rather die than attend. She'd rather split into the doppels and start destroying property. You'd have to blackmail her. Or worse, she might attend if someone she cares about says it's important to them. Then she'll be late because she's trying to dress up and nothing is good enough. Wallflower time, possibly lurking by the drinks like a prey animal.

Sage- He's got no idea what he's doing but he's polite enough to make it work. He tries to wear his armor and just buff the dragon scales a bit. It technically works. He's horrible at conversation because the nobles are using doublespeak and he's unintentionally threatening everyone while talking about a day in the life. Nobody knows if he's stupid or ridiculously bold. In truth, he's just friendly. And absolutely cannot dance. (Fairy dances aren't safe or appropriate for the setting)

Wyr- Help him. He can do street festivals and harvest dances and even howl at the moon. Balls? Gods. Zelda just asks him to stand there and look pretty and he's fine with that. Two minutes into noble jockeying he starts blushing violently and stuttering and yearning for a straightforward spar. Balls also tend to have bigots, and they're incapable of taking it outside like normal people. He wishes the concept of balls was a bitable problem.

Light- Spends the entire time repressing his instinct to prank. He's got terrible impulse control, so he may or may not succeed. Balls are both overstimulating and understimulating and make him feel vaguely like he's under attack, so he's low level anxious. The jokes about setting something on fire to liven things up are only half jokes. A disaster at balls.

Wars- He does exactly what he's been programmed to do, whether he knows it or not.

Damaz- It really, really wants to be one of the guards. Furniture. An accessory. It's a weapon and it's good at being a weapon. It likes Gerudo festivals, especially the sword dances, but fancy Hyrulean royal balls? Please just put it on security detail. Watching it attempt to emote in a neurotypical way is genuinely painful sometimes. Extremely likely to hide with Hibiscus near the punch bowl, or Bloodfeather near a window.

Wake- An absolute WINNER at balls. He's charismatic, socially fluent, takes no shit and no prisoners but manages to spin any problems into a good joke. He's got stories for days, and the rakish mystique of a pirate. Girls and guys alike are all aflutter.

Hey so I’m making a bad decision. Meet Grenadine. Now, part of me doing this third Leaf Green run is to get Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur for my living dex over in Fire Red. Right. Last time I resetted for a female Charmander, so I was able to breed Eliza and Konstantin with minimal issue. I didn’t push for a female Bulbasaur. Caesar is male. So if I’m getting two more dex spaces out of him I’m going to have to Ditto-breed him.

So in my fun little gijinka project, it’s already awkward enough to take two freshly created humanoids and tell them they’re required to make babies for my otherworldly purposes. It’s even weirder with Dittos. I haven’t even been keeping track of which starter eggs came from which Dittos. There’s a whole bunch of Mudkips and Turtwigs on my files that are effectively orphans because their mothers don’t exist and their fathers never noticed there was an egg. (And then there’s Tortue, who has a Ditto parent and an adoptive mom.) I feel like I want to do it different this time and see if I can make things better.

So, meet Grenadine. They’re a Ditto caught specifically in the Leaf Green file that Caesar is native to. Like Eliza and Konstantin, I have inducted Grenadine into the team, with the intention of taking them up to the championship, with the hopes that it sparks a natural relationship between them and Caesar. I’ve cleared Victory Road and I’m currently trying to level grind them up to about level 60 before I try the Elite Four.

Dittos are not meant for fighting. This was a bad idea. I’m effectively going in with a team of 5, with one dead weight who can maybe stall for a few turns while I throw revives and full restores at everyone else. The best I can hope for, maybe, is a little bit of chaos in the Lance fight since Dragon-types are weak to Dragon-types. I don’t actually think that’s happening though. Grenadine will not be helpful. I’m still doing it.

So, I made them a gijinka design. I’m trying to have fun with it. My favorite anime character has always been Duplica, so I’m using her episode as inspiration for a cosplaying Ditto gijinka. Grenadine walks around wearing a copy of Caesar’s jacket, and when they transform they keep a little Ditto-colored flup of hair as a tell.

So the team, unless I give up on this Ditto thing, is as follows:

Caesar the Venusaur

Rex the Charmander (everstoned)

Tortue the Squirtle (everstoned)

Fujiko the Hypno

Snow Pea the Butterfree

Grenadine the Ditto

The pre-E4 grinding is going to act as a timeskip, and next time we see them all they’ll have older-looking designs. So it will not be weird and cursed for me to try and make Caesar and Grenadine go on dates. It will be normal an wholesome.

I'm with another anon, I would like to understand why they made Helaena a dreamer. And for me I believe the showrunners are creating something for her, I mean come on, in the books Helaena was described as lovely, adorable and as you said little princess, something like Myrcella, there we have the show and she is totally introspective, collects insects is weird. I adore her, but whatever it is, I don't see how the show will fit the people admiration and adoration for her, but we'll see.

Yeah, I think they're probably eliminating the popularity of Helaena as a queen for a bigger impact of people just being tired of the war.

I don't have any faith in the writers to do a good a job, since they really fumbled the final two episodes in terms of tone.

The Common People loved the Greens and they hated the Blacks. Alicent and Helaena were extremely popular. Helaena was like the Princess Diana of Westros! She was kind and sweet, and loved children. Being a Dragon Dreamer doesn't make you being on the spectrum. She can be a seer and be lucid - not a perpetual ten year old. Which, my whole point was that tween Helaena that we met in Episode 6 and 7 was lucid and normal just with strange hobbies.

It's as if they went out of their way to make all of Alicent's kids weird and unlikable in the name of giving them personality. I mean Sarah Hess admitted that she wanted Aegon to be a rapist, to draw "Comparison of the Modern World" and show Alicent an "Agent of the Patriarchy". I mean, the fact that Aemond being so beloved was probably a happy accident due to the actor being so good.

I can't believe the writers are surprised and annoyed that people like Daemon so much. It's like as if people watch and love fantasy to see bad ass dudes do bad ass things with swords and for women to be beautiful and cunningly dangerous in courtly settings.

I have a strange and bad feeling that they're gonna assassinate Daeron's character in the same way. That he's gonna be another victim of woke female writers insecurities that make him this effeminate and foppish sissy who is weak and gets bossed around by female characters - mommy's good little boy. When the dude literally get's assigned to be his mother's sworn shield throughout the war because he's that good a fighter that no one will ever get the drop on their loved ones again. A dude that literally won the war for the Greens on his own. And they're probably gonna turn him into some beta weirdo that gets easily manipulated by everyone.

If they do something more with Helaena in Season 2, if they put off "Blood & Cheese" till like the season finale and let the Greens get their footing as a family with all of them in the same place. Then, I'll agree with you that perhaps making her a "Dreamer" had a point and purpose.

But I honestly think that they only made Helaena dreamer for the sake of giving her a personality and to establish Alicent isn't a good mother because Helaena doesn't like it when she touches her - 'As if sensing her wickedness' as I saw someone say on twitter that got like 7K likes - like a majority of Team Black isn't bot accounts to push the political narrative of Hess and Spotchnik.

The potential is there for the show to kick it up notch and be great. But, like Rhaenys murdering thousands of innocent people for a 'Girl Boss moment" and Criston Cole being this spiteful and angry attack dog rather than the brains behind Alicent's ambition and ideas, I feel this show will be hampered with a lot of feminist insecurities about strong male characters and soft female characters.

A character like Helaena can be lovable, cherished, and interesting person without being some boss-bitch trying to take on the "patriarchy". You just got to be talented enough of a writer to build a character like that. And as long as Sarah Hess is a producer/writer strong male characters like Daeron and especially many female characters, are gonna be hamstrung by the insecurities and ideology of her personal dogma.

On Universes Beyond

I think there are two huge issues behind the normal Magic fan whining when it comes to Universes Beyond.

First, there's the fact that Magic is almost thirty years old, and this is the first major push toward using the game as a vehicle for licensed tie-ins. There's a lot of resistance to it based on decades of precedence. Fans are accustomed to the MtG team's versions of real-world inspirations like gothic horror, Greek mythology, and Japanese cyberpunk. Throwing literal Optimus Prime into the same exact game as a Voltron-inspired card feels like it's diluting what fans already love about the design.

A side note to this one is that there are lots of properties that fans don't want to engage with at all. The Walking Dead is brutal, and Warhammer even moreso. Magic traditionally doesn't cross into the levels of gore and violence that some of these things do. Other properties like Doctor Who are more science-fiction than some fans really want in their fantasy game (though I'd argue the game has always had scifi elements, and that most scifi properties aren't as devoid of fantasy as people seem to think).

Second, there's the fact that it shines a light on how bad the demand for some cards is, and how WotC often fails at reprinting cards enough to accommodate the players. To a certain extent, all Magic capitalizes on FOMO, urging players to get the cards while they can, before they shoot up in price on the secondary market after they realize they need it for a hypothetical future deck. By making unique cards that are obtained in new and less common ways than most other cards, it can feel like Wizards is forcing fans to purchase products they might not have otherwise. There's a feeling like it's a second Reserved List, which is something that people are terrified about.

As for both of these reasons, I don't personally feel that way, but I understand them. Universes Beyond is doing nothing Magic hasn't done in the past (or wouldn't have done, had it had the resources), and arguably is taking the game places that it should have gone a long time ago.

I love that we're getting a Lord of the Rings set, that we've gotten two whole Dungeons & Dragons sets (though I think those are being treated as crossovers more than licensed tie-ins), and that they're actively exploring bringing my favorite characters and franchises into my favorite game.

Do I hate that TWD and WH40K cards exist now, and that I may one day have to play a match with them in it? Sure. I despise those properties. You know who doesn't? My best friend who's finally interested in the game now that Rick Grimes can be his commander. That's a win for me, no matter how much I may dislike zombie soap operas. And now that he's interested in playing a Chun-Li card, I can introduce him to Narset.

In fact, my only issue is with the absolute glut of product we've been getting over the past few years, and the associated product fatigue. Seriously, let us rest our wallets a bit!

Magic is a game that's always changing. Faster now than it has in the past, for sure, but in ways that make it more appealing to new players. I have concerns over how much they can add to the game before they're forced to slow down, but ultimately, this doesn't seem like WotC is trying to squeeze every penny out of its existing fanbase in a desperate cash grab. If anything, it feels more like it's rushing to catch up with what it could have been all along.

EPISODE II: CAPTAIN ERIC VS THE RUINOUS RULESET

I’d been planning to write about my thoughts about the Global Competition I that happened last weekend only for another GC to be up next weekend. This article also got eaten by when my computer restarted without my permission so thanks for that Windows update. The Team For the GC I used Clover Bell’s BaxBalance team. The only difference is Baxcalibur actually has Icicle Spear instead of Icicle Crash and I actually played a few games on Showdown with the team before I realized the mistake. I’m not going to go too much into detail about the team like a normally would because I didn’t build it! Credit goes to Clover Bell and you can check his explanation of the team here. I will say what drew me to this team as opposed to the other ones featured was Palafin. I’d seen Gavin Michaels use it to some success and it had been doing work in online tours. I never thought to use it because I didn’t like how telegraphed you had to be switching it out to bring in the Hero form but having watched EUIC, I could definitely stand to use Zero form more for damage. Results I went 10-4 in the GC which wasn’t bad and honestly if I did get so completely bamboozled by a Crabominable in one game and if Baxcalibur gets hit by Heat Wave instead of dodging it forever (which would’ve given me a Thermal Exchange boost which would have secured a knockout) I probably could’ve gone 12-2. Between friends having birthdays and meeting with my family for Easter I didn’t play all 45 matches which is kind of disappointing. I don’t think I would’ve been on Three Things 1. Practice Practice Practice I just straight up do not play enough Pokemon Showdown to be successful consistently at a high level. I did maybe 15-20 unfocused matches with the team before the GC. I won all but maybe 2 or 3 of them but I can’t tell you what my gameplan was on Team Preview or what my endgame plans were. I just was winging it way too much. I need to have the team flowcharted better especially since it seems like the core this team is built around is going to be dominant format in Reg C for a while. 2. Need More Damage One thing I really like about this team is that it is really hard to OHKO any of them and with even my average positioning skills, I always felt I had good options in the mid-to-end game to pivot too. That said the draw back to this is I felt like dealing damage was pulling teeth. Flutter Mane missed a KO on an enemy Flutter by maybe 2hp that could’ve cost me a match if the opponent didn’t time out. Palafin hits way harder than I thought it did and would and I don’t mind that Arcanine doesn’t hit so hard because it’s more of a support mon anyways, but I need more out of Flutter Mane and Baxcalibur and that’s something I’m going to test before this Global Competition which leads to... 3. Is Bax Him? I don’t feel I bring or use Baxcalibur that much anyways and I wonder if something better would go into that slot. I’ve considered Roaring Moon, Iron Hands and Kingambit for possible swaps. To be fair, Baxcalibur is great because of the immunity to burns keeps his attack rocking. It may be worth it to switch Loaded Dice for Clear Amulet and make a Dragon Dance and make him more imposing that way. Iron Hands can buy me turns with Fake Out and a slow Volt Switch to get Palafin in quicker and safer than having to do two hard switches or wait for a KO and then I can bring it back in immediate. Roaring Moon as an option would give me a faster attacker and the Protosythensis/Booster Energy/Acrobatics combination deals alot of damage. It could also in theory provide speed control with Tailwind or Damage mitigation with Breaking Swipe. Kingambit is a solid defensive Pokemon and would discourage opposing Intimidate users which would help make Palafin’s job easier and helps with enemy Flutter Mane. Up Next I’m competing in BauerdadVGC’s weekly tournament on Tuesday April 18th to close out my 32nd year on this planet. Then it’s gonna be a mad dash to trying to confirm my team for the GC on April 21-23.

This is the second time I’ve speculated about Pachirisu’s typing :3 was it going to be Electric-Ice? Sinnoh really loved it’s Ice types! Snover and Abomasnow are, in my opinion, really iconic Pokémon of Sinnoh. They don’t showcase the introduction of variants like Shellos, or the new evolutions such as Togekiss and Roserade.

But the snowy parts of Sinnoh were very important! I don’t remember snow in any previous games. And there was a large part of the map dedicated to snow. Multiple routes, and an entire town!

Future games sometimes attempt to imitate the sincere biome, but they always feel cramped. Examples found in Kalos: the two icy towns, one of which seems very out of place at the same altitude and latitude as the desert; the other literally just a product of the ice gym producing so much coldness that the town froze.

I’m addition to Snover’s line, we also see a new Ice-type eevolution, Sneasel’s evolution Weavil, Snorunt’s evolution Froslass, and Piloswine’s evolution Mamoswine!

Sinnoh also featured several other distinct biomes. The swamp is very memorable! The coasts were highlighted by several port cities. And the center mountain range played an important role in the plot and the development of location-based variants.

The first most iconic biome is surely the mountain. It plays too critical of a role in the main storyline. The altitude introduced fog. The height difference among routes allowed for stunning visuals and novel route design. The swamp and coasts are tied, and come after the snowy lands. The swamp was a uniquely fun and treacherous biome, reminiscent of the Hoenn Desert with it’s biome-specific hazards and combination of the feel of an open-world area with a winding, labyrinthine pacing.

Many of Sinnoh’s new Pokémon are featured here, including Croagunk, Shellos, Krikitune, Buizel, Bibarel, Burmy, Cherubi, and Combee. Unlike the coastal towns, an appropriate focus is given to the swamps. The coasts of Sinnoh feel underwhelming, compared to the vast coastal region of Hoenn, and the expansion of Kanto coastal regions of the Sevii Islands. Compared to the ferry rides of other regions, Sinnoh’s coasts are not quite as memorable.

Thus! I think maybe Pachirisu was intended to be part Ice! It could have had a Pokédex entry such as, “It forwent hibernation in order to survive the endless snow of northern Sinnoh. It’s Ice-typing let’s it stay active in even the coldest temperatures.”

My only real argument is: it is white and blue! :0 Is that a bad argument? Maybe! Yellow is the most remembered color for Electric types, but plenty have been blue.

Magnemite (originally only Electric type) set the standard for including white/grey/blue tones in electric types. Chinchou’s blueness could be attributed to its water typing, though Plusle and Manectric firmly add blue to the electric color pallet. Pokémon such as Mareep, Flaffy, and Rotom exhibit the way blue is a common accent color. Shinx’s line firmly establishes blue as an electric color, more than any other Pokémon.

However, there’s hardly an ice type without blue. And there isn’t a single Ice-Electric type by then. You know they love added new pairings! And pairing it with a Pikachu-esque rodent/lagomorph? The squirrel a great choice! I mean, voles are an option… But those aren’t Pikachu-esque enough, yknow?

Anyways! It’s also white! That’s uncommon in electric types. Voltorb, Electrode, and Flaffy have important uses of the color white. But otherwise, the color is used more in Normal types, Ice types, and even Water types.

I’m just sayin. Imagine you are headed to the snowy city. You headbutt a tree. And a Pachirisu falls out! Hah. Adorable. It’s got moves like Discharge, Charm, Icy Wind, and Double Team. It can take out Flying, Ground, Water, Dragon, and Grass! It could feature in Double Battles with Helping Hand and Thunderbolt. Or, paired with a Pokémon with Rain Dance, it could have 100 accuracy with Thunder while still countering Ground, Grass, and Dragon due to the Ice typing.

:3 I had a lot of fun pondering over this! It was inspired by a color-swap I did with Pikachu and Pachirisu that made me realize it was rather wintery-themed for an Electric. :)

I was so focused on getting through the whole story on Corrow so I could have everything unlocked on EU. Finished that I think two days ago? But kept hyperfocusing on just playing, I thought I should talk about all my new characters here a little.

So here are all my EU (Corvidama.2948) Characters:

Corrow - Necromancer/Scourge/Reaper - He/They - Commander

Ex-Inquest test subject, who always wears a mask and has a device to assist him with speaking after his throat/vocal chords were damaged by the experiments. Dies and re-animates himself, becoming an undead. No one can tell unless they remove their mask though.

Wei - Mechanist - He/They - Freelance Canthan Mechanist

Orphan urchin who learned to work with machines and earned enough money to survive that way. Often has run-ins with the Jade Brotherhood, competing against them and stealing from them occasionally.

Zott - Soulbeast - They/Them - Con Artist

Zott wasn't good enough at making inventions, and eventually found their skillset being their silver tongue and marketing ideas. They only target rich people though, knowing how hard it can be to struggle with money. They also have a harpy eagle they raised from a hatchling, Harry.

Senara - Virtuoso - She/Her - Nightmare Courtier

Though she joined the Nightmare Court, she doesn't respect the authority of anyone, and only ever doing whatever she wants. Which is murder, mostly.

Matius Rookstar - Elementalist - He/Him - Durmand Priory Scholar

Ex-Blood Legion legionnaire, who lost his entire warband, which led to him leaving the legions and joining the Durmand Priory instead. Is cursed with supernaturally bad luck from birth. This is also the likely reason for his warband's death, for which he blames himself.

Otto - Specter - He/Him - A Strange Lone Sylvari

Otto seems to be from another tree like the Pale Tree. He seems to almost be like a subspecies of sylvari, as he is amphibious, having gills, and otherwise a build fit for swimming.

Nicasia - Virtuoso - She/Her - Criminal Mastermind

Originally from the Ash Legion, which she left to join the Aetherblades, with whom she flew for many years, until their arrival in Cantha. There she left, along with taking some members with her, to make her own criminal organisation in Cantha.

Vokoln Foxheart - Mirage - They/Them - Strange Fox-Like Charr

Actually secretly a fox spirit from Cantha who saw the charr and wanted to become one. Made their way to Ascalon to experience their culture.

Vee - Necromancer - He/Him - Undead Asura

Vee is an asura who got exposed to too much Zhaitan magic and became corrupted while still alive. He struggled against it for a while, but was soon freed, as Zhaitan was slain, and so he regained his senses. Though being undead still affects him greatly, he tries his best to act normal.

Dwixx - Vindicator - He/They - A Strange Asura

Dwixx is a companion of Corrow, who had originally joined the Vigil, where he met Corrow as the Pact was formed. He decided to follow Corrow directly soon after. Something seems odd about him though, it seems he might not be a normal asura after all. He himself has no idea either.

Now all my below level 80 characters who still don't have their gear and proper looks ready yet and use outfits/random armor instead. Will update this post once they get there later.

Janis Witzel - Virtuoso - He/Him - Another Alternate Universe Commander

Janis is the commander of another alternate universe. There, as the Pact was being formed, he chose a member from each of the other two orders (his being the Order of Whispers) to join him as a trustworthy and strong team. Those ended up being Hukka and Kaarme.

Hukka Wolfclaw - Willbender - He/Him - Commander's Companion

Hukka was a Vigil soldier, who had lost all his companions in a fight against the risen. He was recruited by Janis to join him in the fight against the dragons. Won over by his words, he agreed.

Kaarme - Tempest - He/They - Commander's Companion

Durmand Priory scholar who nearly got kicked out for procrastinating on things and sleeping all the time, was recruited by Janis, who convinced him to work with him to fight the dragons.

DJ Noxx Tide - Holosmith - They/Them - Asuran Musician

Noxx was more interested in music rather than inventions, and so they began studying music instead. They ended up making inventions that had to do with music and sound, with a couple having some visual effects aswell.

Luxx - Scrapper - He/They - Aviator

Luxx loves flying. He has always tinkered with inventions that had to do with flying. While he enjoys airships, he wants to create a smaller aircraft, that can fit just one or two people and be more agile.

Salmiakki Sootpaws - Deadeye - They/Them - Mercenary

Salmiakki is ex-Ash Legion. They decided to leave the legions, aswell as their old name behind. They picked a new name, both first and surname she came up with themself. They began working as a mercenary, feeling more free to do what they want, without being tied to an army structure.

Zod - Chronomancer - He/Him - Ex-Kralkatorrik Minion

Zod was once corrupted by Kralkatorrik, though he managed to keep his sense of self very well. Once Kralkatorrik was slain, and he was freed, he decided to live his own life. He used to be Inquest before being corrupted, so his morals are... questionable...

Marriage. 88

Chapter 88: Halloween

We finally made the wish that everyone, other than our group, forgot about Buu. Not only that, Videl actually agreed to get her own version of the Saiyaman custom. We were making such a great team, and the debate club wasn’t half bad either. Everything was going right with the world. When there was no classes, or crimefighting, we hanged with Dende and Mr. Piccolo. Out of anywhere on the earth, it was not only the best place to study, it was also fun just hanging with everyone. Videl even made great friends with Mr. Piccolo. Everything was just awesome.

…

Mom and aunty Bulma made that I went to Trunks’ school. Aunty Bulma even got my friends to come too. This is so great. Even Marron started school. This is going to be the best school year ever! Soon it came time to make the wish, and when I saw the dragon, it was super cool. Then aunty Bulma invited us to a party the week after. Trunks made fun of my outfit, but I didn’t care. That’s because next month was Halloween, and I’m so excited. Me, Trunks, and Marron decided to mummies this year. On top of that, after the party dad allowed me to sleep over aunty Bulma’s place. Even told Gohan to stay, and enjoy himself. Gohan ended up going with Videl to the lookout, with Mr. Piccolo.

…

When I finally did arrive at the party, I couldn’t keep my eyes off Chichi. After eating, and sharing what went on today, I got an idea. Thankfully Bulma didn’t mind watching the boys for the night. After me and Chichi told the boys good night, I flew us home. She complained that it was cold. So, I rose my ki high enough to warm her, but not to become a super sayian. “I still don’t get why you didn’t want to drive. Now my hair must look a mess.”

I looked down at her beautiful face. “I could name a few good reasons.” I couldn’t help smile at the way she was blushing. The closer we got home, the more excited I was getting. The outfit she had on tonight did her great justice at highlighting her beauty. Not saying what she normally wears doesn’t make her beautiful, just that I see those all the time. Seeing her in something else always get me worked up.

“Sometimes I forget home handsome you are in a suit.” That comment came out of nowhere, and threw me off. When I looked at her, she was giving me that smile that made me fall in love with her. The smile that had her eyes shining, her skin glowing, and makes the world around me stop. I just couldn’t help myself in kissing her. “I love you.”

“I love you, too.” That’s when I noticed we were hovering over our yard. I don’t want to wait till we’re inside to have her. I wanted her now. I readjusted her a bit, to where I easily carried her with one hand. With the other I started to undo the buttons of her blouse, while I kissed her. And what made it even more exciting was how she was wearing the bra that opened in the front. I then started to unbutton and unzip her pants. She tried telling me that we should probably finish inside. “Na.” I purred against her ear. “I want you like this.”

She then gasp as two of my fingers entered her already wet core. “Mm. What if I. Ah. Fall?” Silly wife. I would never let you fall. I lick and nipped her neck, as I moved in her at a slow pace. I used my thumb to work her wonderful clit, and enjoyed the breathless moans she made in my ear. “Goku. Ah. Please.” I added a small amount of ki to my hand, as I continued working her. “Goku. Mm. Not. Up here. AH!” As she came all over my fingers, I drowned her moans in a passionate kiss.

Once I retrieved my hand from her, I licked and sucked them clean of her wonderful juices. I then pulled her pants and panties down to her midthigh, and I did the same with my pants and boxers. With little effort I had her back press to my chest. Using my hand, I guided myself in her, and in one simple motion I was buried deep in her. As I thrusted into her, my hands played with her breast, as I attacked her neck. Hearing her moan in pleasure was music to my ears. I soon had her screaming my name as I thrusted harder, and biting her shoulder. Only sound I want to hear was hers.

One more thrust and she came all over me. “What’s gotten over you—” I covered her mouth, as I nip at my mark, and thrust faster. As I made her come one more time, she bit my hand, and I spilled myself all in her. After we caught our breath, I finally landed us in our front yard. To my disappointment, she was readjusting her clothes, to cover herself. Then she turned to me angrily. “What in the world came over you, GOKU? You never done that before! Why chose to do so now? On top of that, you were super late! You missed Gohan dancing with Videl.” She then had tears in her eyes. I was about ready to apologize, when she then had a smile. “Goku, is something the matter?” I was just dumbfounded. I readjusted my clothes and went to hug her. That’s when she really started to crying. As she sobbed in my chest, I tried comforting her.

What in the world did I do to upset her like this? Is she really upset I came late? But it wasn’t like I did on purpose. Was she upset about when we were intimate in the sky? Or is it something completely different? I kept trying to comfort her the best I could. “I’m sorry for whatever I did to upset you. Please don’t cry.” She kept sobbing, and it became harder. So, I picked her and brought her inside. I sat on the couch, with her in my lap. I kept trying to clam her down, but nothing is working. “What did I do wrong this time? Please tell me so I can fit it.”

She finally looked at me. “You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just upset and happy at the same time.”

“Why?” I tried wiping a tear away, and she held my hand in place.

“It finally feels like I actually have you back, but same time something has change. Not saying it’s a bad change. We’re at peace. My Goku is making me so happy. But my Goku is having moments where he acts different.” Her smile then drops and she looks concerned. “What exactly happened to you during those 7 years? And don’t say you were mostly training and eating. What aren’t you telling me?” I kissed her and held her close.

“You’re right to think that. I was trying to avoid it for as long as I could. I just wanted to see you happy.”

“Goku?” She looked worried now.

“Like I said before, I had a lot of time to think about things. For example, you.” I held her close to my chest. “I thought everything I’ve done that hurt you. I thought finally got the chance to come to terms with being a sayian. And knowing the fact I could visit the family, I never knew about, it gave me hope to learn more about that side of me. I also visit grandpa a lot, and while there I witness a lot of married couples. They were nowhere like us.” She looked at me curiously. “I found it funny how the closes couple that was like us were actually my own parents. That was funny.” We giggled at that.

I then told her the multiple times I sunk to see them. Even though I wasn’t comfortable calling them my parents for a long while, it still felt right being with them. “I actually picked up a few things from them too.” She asked like what. “Like finding out that I had my mom’s personality, but mostly my dad’s looks. It still feels weird saying that.” We laughed a bit. “They want to meet you, when the time comes.” She then look shock.

“So, you’re telling me, when the day comes, I’ll finally meet my parent-in-laws?” She then started giggling. “But you haven’t told me how you changed.”

I then kissed her nose. “Maybe I’m trying to avoid that.” She then pouted, and asked why. “Do I have to say it?” She nodded her head. “Under King Kai’s watch, for the first 2 times, my dad was putting me through a typical sayian training. But the moment I was left alone, is when the real training began. I thought I already went through hard training. But this wasn’t any physical training.” She looked at me confused. “It was mental. I thought I already got passed all my mental blocks, when I was on Yardrat. But clearly, I didn’t. He said something about I just don’t have control anymore. I asked why, and it was because I was dead.”

“I don’t get that. Why being dead changed you?”

“I didn’t get it either, but King Kai even noticed something was different. It became harder for me to control my anger. Something I thought I finally had some control over. My emotions were just starting to let themselves go. It was weird. Especially since you weren’t there, and I couldn’t hold you whenever something upset me. Or I couldn’t tell you how much I love you. I even missed seeing Gohan.” That’s when I pulled out the wallet in my packet. She looked surprised. “I asked Bulma, during the camping trip, if she help have a picture of my family with me at all times. She suggested the wallet, and gave me pictures of all of you, during the 7 years I was gone.” I then opened to show her the first picture. “This one is my absolute favorite.” It was the picture of Chichi and Gohan holding a new born Goten. Chichi then had tears in her eyes, and started to kiss me.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.” I put the wallet away, and started carrying her to our room. “Now, for what I been wanting to do since I saw you in this outfit.” She started blushing as I set her down on the bed.

…

After what happened after that party, me and Goku spent a lot of a time together. On top of that, whenever the boys came home from school, Goku spent a great deal with them. Even got Gohan and Goten to study in the dining room, just so he could watch them study as he worked out. It was a fun sight. Tomorrow was Halloween, and everyone had plans. Gohan was going to a party with Videl and his friends. Piccolo and Yamcha agreed to take the kids trick or treating. And me and Goku were going to Bulma’s annual Halloween party. Everything was right with the world.

As I was getting ready for the party, I noticed Goku was still wearing his training gi. “I hope you’re not wearing that to the party.” He simply waved it off as a maybe. That actually got me upset. This would be our first Halloween together again, and he chooses that of all things. I was upset, to say the least, as we go to the party.

When we got there everyone was wearing a custom but him. Wait. Vegeta wasn’t wearing a custom either. Bulma then walked up to me. “Chichi I just love the angel custom you chose. You have to tell me where you found it.”

“Actually, I made it myself.” We soon went about how she wants me to make her custom next year, and maybe just make her outfits for Christmas too. I was so into our conversation I didn’t even noticed that the two sayians were nowhere to be seen. When I did notice, I asked Bulma where on earth could they have gone. She was giving off a suspicious smile, as she said she didn’t know.

Soon enough our husbands showed up again, and in actual customs. Vegeta was draped in a Roman custom fit for a king. No surprise there. But it’s Goku’s custom that grabbed my attention. He look like one of those gladiator warriors, just without the full armor and helmet. All he had was a single shoulder piece, the skirt like cloth, and the footwear. Oh my. Seeing him like that, almost showing off his great physique was breathtaking. “Chichi.” Someone was snapping their fingers in my face. When I noticed who, it was Bulma. “You’re drooling.” She was laughing, but I was feeling over the top embarrassed. During the whole party everyone was having fun. Then eventually the kids came from their trip, along with a very exhausted Piccolo and Yamcha. Soon, Gohan and Videl showed up, with who I assumed were their other friends. When Goku greeted the boys, their mouths drop in shock.

...

I can’t believe it. Is dad really dressed like that. “Oh my gosh, Gohan! That was your dad? He’s so hot.”

“Careful, Erasa, your boyfriend might get jealous.” Videl joked. When I looked at Sharpner, he looked ready to call it a night.

The party was fun, since not only Videl was with me, but other people my age. Beside the drooling looks Erasa gave my dad, it was fun. I even saw mom drooling whenever she looked at dad. It didn’t help that dad was also, kind of, showing off his strength. I think Vegeta was starting to get annoyed, and tried to out show dad. It looked ridiculous and hilarious. That’s when I felt someone poke my arm. I looked down at Videl. “Are they ok? They’re being very showy today.”

“Beats me.” Me and Videl were wearing matching custom. We decided to go as mob boss.

“Don’t you want to show off?”

“Show off what?” She then looked kind of sad. “I don’t really...”

“Yes, you do. Come on. It looks like fun.”

“What exactly are you asking me to do?”

“Nerd boy.” I looked to Sharpner. “I challenge you to an arm wrestle!” He can’t be serious. And to top it off, he said that loud enough that everyone heard. And now everyone is watching. Great just great. You happy now? Yes.

Soon Bulma got us a table to arm wrestle. I took off my jacket and lifted up my sleeves a bit. This shouldn’t rip anything. At least I pretend to be losing, till the last second, I beat him. There was a round of cheers, and then Krillin challenged me. Oh boy. Somewhere along the line, I was down to my undershirt, arm wrestling Vegeta. It was looking close until he gave his smirk, and beat me. Nope! Not going down like this. I can’t lose to him. “I demand a rematch!” I won that one, and it became a best two out of three. Vegeta officially won. Damn.

Before I could get up, to let the next person challenge the winner, dad challenged me. This wasn’t going to end pretty. Instead of using pure muscle alone, I tried talking about things to get him distracted. I thought it was working, and even thought I was making progress. But that was all a lie as I felt my knuckles touched the table, in defeat. It then became a match between dad and Vegeta. Dad won.

After that, everyone went back to their own little corner of the room. I found it funny had Sharpner wanted to compare muscles. I didn’t want to, but Videl insisted. Ended up with Videl poking my biceps. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying showing off a bit. Even though if you wanted a show, I wouldn’t have mind if it was just you. The way Videl blush was cute. And then I finally caught up what I just did. Where the heck did that come from?

…

After that little arm wrestle match with Vegeta the party seems to go by ok. The boys were having fun. Goten was even trading candies with Trunks and Marron. Gohan and Videl and their friends were chatting away, and eating snacks from the table. A certain wife kept looking away from me, every time I looked her way. I’m glad Bulma helped me pick this custom. Especially if it’s getting my wife face looking like that.

My wife was dressed up as something she always is to me. My sweet angel. The outfit hugged her body just right, and the way her hair was down was a nice touch. In contrast to every female in this room, she stood out. Only one wearing all white. No skin showing. On top of it all. I had her full attention. So, I used it to my advantage.

I challenged Vegeta to small little things, just to show off for her. Even Vegeta knew what I was doing, and actually joined in showing off. We both had our wives giggling, and trying to avoid eye contact with us.

When it was time to go home, I was glad Puar agreed to fly to my home, before the party was over. Made things easier to instant transmission. And I gave her a trip back to Yamcha. Once officially home, the boys ran to their rooms and I was left with Chichi.

“So, are you actually going to look at me, or do I have to make you?” I heard her giggle. She then said I had to make her, as she ran to the stairs. I’ll give her a fair head start. When I entered our room, she was sitting on the bed. I closed the door, and locked it. As I walked over to her, I transform to super sayian. She started giggling, and blushing like mad. “You like what you see?” She continued to giggle, and looked away.

“Careful dear. You might break your custom.” That was the least of my worries as I reached the bed.

“I won the battle, now I come to collect my prize.” She giggled, and asked what prize. I sat down next to her. “The heart of an angel.” She blushed as she looked at her fidgeting hands. I flexed my left arm in her face. “Does this not please you?” She giggled again.

“Goku, where did you learn all this stuff?”

“You know those times I asked if I could go spar with Vegeta?” She nodded her head. “Well, other than sparring, I asked Bulma help in trying to impress you. Vegeta was the one who suggested stuff on how a true sayian would impress his female. So, here I am, trying them out.” She grabbed my bicep and gave it a light squeeze. “Am I doing it right?” She nodded. “Good. Now stop being angel, and be my wife. So, I could love you.” She blushed as she got up and took off her custom.

“But you have to stay in that.” She pointed to my custom, and I agreed. As much as I love admiring my wife, it was she was admiring me the whole night. As much as I was enjoying this, I enjoy admiring her more. Even when I tried to take control, she still found a way to make me stop. This would be the first time she actually, successfully, made it about me. Without me turning it back to being about her. no matter how many times, I was filling my own needs, I always made sure it was about her. My needs are her needs, and that what makes me happy. Knowing how I could make her feel so good, regardless how, always me climax. But tonight, she made me come more times than her. I was between complete bliss, and extremely upset. When all said and done, I was actually spent.

We’re now was just snuggling together, as we tried to fall asleep. A few kisses here and there. And exchanging how much we loved each other. “You know, whenever I was away, I was so sad I couldn’t snuggle with you. Like the best part of my day was missing, when I was away.” She started kissing my chin. “I mean it, too. And whenever I was coming back home, I would get super excited.” She asked why. “You. Gohan. And now Goten.” She smiled at that, and she snuggled closer. I kissed the top of her forehead. “You think you could go one more round?” She giggled.

“Go to sleep, Goku.” We shared one more kiss, and fell asleep.

…

The moment he sat on the bed, and started flexing, I just couldn’t stop looking away. Years I’ve tried showering him with the same affection, he showers me, but always ends up with it being turned back to me. Even on his birthday, it would turn to pleasing me. But tonight, I’m going to change that. As he spoke, I feel up on his strong arms. I was always impressed by his strength, and body. I was always attracted to him, and since the tournament, all those years ago, no other man had caught my eye. I been completely spoiled by him, and it’s the best feeling in the world.

Through out the whole party, it felt like he was showing off, just for me. And to him actually admit it was nice. Besides, the way he walked into our room. All filled with confidence, was a complete turn on. Then to feel his strength was another turn on. The way he was talking now, I was now feeling so empowered. This hunk of a man is all mine. This hunk of an alien god was all mine. The moment he told me to get undress, I felt an adrenaline rush. As I got undress, he was practically drooling as I slowly got every piece of my custom off. I had to keep telling him to sit back down, every time he got up. “Not this time, Goku.” He was pouting, but unlike before, he didn’t whine. That made this even better.

Once my clothes were off, I saddle his lap, and began to kiss his lips. Soon I moved to admire his shoulders. The lower I went his body I gave each battle scar I noticed some special attention. I even asked where each one came from. Like the scar from his battle with Piccolo, his father. His time fighting the Red Ribbon army. Even scars from his battle with Frieza, Cell, and Buu. I admired each one, and when I came to a little scar in between his neck and shoulder, I was slightly confused. When I asked where he got that one, he said that one was me. “It’s actually my favorite one.” I could help blush at that, and then I asked why. “It’s the one you gave me on our wedding night.”

“How is it your favorite?”

“Because my wife gave it to me. Every time someone asks me about it, I proudly say you gave it to me. Everyone looked at me crazy.” I kissed at licked it. Maybe it’ll give him the same effect as his. I then felt his hands on my hips. “Every time we have nights of marking each other, I tend to admire every mark you leave me. Sometimes I wish they would actually stay longer then a day or two.” I showered his face with kisses.

Soon he was naked under me, while I rode him and admiring him. It was hard trying to hold back my own climax, as I tried to make him come multiple times. A few times, feeling his hot seed fill me almost made me come, but I had to hold off. I could tell it upset him, but I was doing it for him. And when I finally did let myself climax, I had to bite my hand to hold back my scream of pleasure. It then turn to him making me bite him as I came. Soon, I had bit almost every muscle on his body, and covered with him.

By the time we did settle for the night, he had the biggest smile I have ever seen. “See what happens when you let me take over.” I couldn’t help giggle, as he kissed my neck.

“Yeah. Thank you. But don’t think you’ll always be able to.” I jokingly slapped his chest. He kissed my forehead. “You think you could go one more round?”

“Go to sleep, Goku.” We shared one more kiss, and fell asleep.
