since we had Valentines Day (or Palentines Day) just the other day I've been thinking of how the Twins had dealt with that day back in Unova:
As someone who believes that they aren't too much into romance at all (they love trains and battles) they get easily flustered when they get approached with presents on this day. But since Palentines Day gets more and more popular I can see them preferring this over any romantic gifts. And they are holding presents made by children in the highest regard.
Seeing little kids come up to them to show their appreciation for them and/or trains fills them with joy and they sometimes joke to each other that one day they might have these kids as successor or Depot Agents at work. They also always have a little something as a thank you for the kids on them.
Elesa has made it a habit to gift Emmet a card with the best (or worst according to Emmet) Valentines pun and Ingo a card with the cheesiest message to fluster him on that day. The twins know it's not meant in a romantic way just her playfully teasing them.
Yes yes anon! Shaking your hand, I also headcanon that Ingo and Emmet are not all that interested in romance haha
I love the thought of them getting gifts of appreciation on the day though ;w; Lots of cards and drawings and other things!! (And I’d like to think they get handed presents for their Pokémon too!)
And as for all of this with Elesa, it’s funny because I have a few paragraphs for Rain Check (the Palentines day fic I’ve been working on for forever, and STILL didn’t get done this valentines cause I’ve been so busy ^^;) that describes this almost perfectly:
(Keep in mind a lot of wording here will be updated)
—————
“Does that sound like something you used to do with flowers, where you came from?”
Ingo continued to methodically loop the ribbons between his calloused fingers. Black over White. Yellow over Black. White over Yellow. Black over White. Through the holes.
Through the holes…
The holes were big. (in)(this)(one.)
(Elesa) would always surprise him and (Emmet) at work with (the biggest arrangement of) flowers (on Valentine’s Day. The extravagance had always been emphasized with a card, covered in gaudy, hand-drawn hearts) and wrapped in an elaborate style of bows, but offset (with the card being terribly inappropriate for the occasion - usually for a retirement party or a 60th birthday - where she had gone in and written over the card’s message with pen.) It usually contained (a terribly corny Valentine’s joke,) and a (short but ) genuine message appreciating (their friendship - the whole thing was a silly tradition she had stubbornly yet lovingly repeated ever since she had become friends with them in their childhood.)
(She had never once sent it to their offices - Elesa always thought it was hilarious to have the extravagant gifts hand delivered to fluster) the two of them (in front of the whole station, where people passing by would dote over the public gesture, and a few nosy individuals would even pry. Oh, how she’d laugh at them as they recounted to her how embarrassing the whole ordeal was, before taking them out to dinner and a movie after their shifts).
(The)(punctures)(stretched)(painfully,)(and) Not much was left behind.
She would always surprise him and the other one at work with flowers. Wrapped in an elaborate style of bows, but offset. It usually contained a genuine message appreciating… the two of them.
“I… apologize Miss Akari, for I am not sure.”

I love these thoughts anon, you and I think very similarly!!!

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.
you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.
you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.
don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.
if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.
you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:
how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!
aren't you happy yet?

Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.
poor gale :'(
- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly
- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!
- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)
- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)
