#man is instantly in love

[smallestapplin]

That shiny request reminds me of an old brain rot I had: How about a friends to lovers fic between Emmet and a shiny hunter/breeder reader? They met in the daycare and become pals despite their different breeding niches. Emmet breeds pokemon for competitive play while the reader can't tell the difference between EVs, IVs, and Eevees. One day, the reader asks Emmet to help them become a better trainer since owning shinys makes you a target for pokemon thieves. How does a romance bloom from there?

I’ve never understood those either, but I’ve always made sure my babies trained 😤 also to make my writing easier I did give reader a team.

Asks are open

-

-

You two were childhood friends. Your family ran the Pokémon day care and we’re a family of breeders, just about everyone in Anville town got their partner Pokémon from your family.

Your family was already excited at how well you had taken to the family job.

You didn’t stop until you accidentally hatched an egg that had a shiny, you were so excited to show it off to your family as a kid. Who were shocked to see a dark orange rufflet.

When you were told how rare that was you squealed in excitement and quickly bonded to the small bird, the Rufflet was attached to your hip and would scare off anyone else.

And that’s how you meant Emmet. You recognized him and his twin who’s parents stopped by to get the pleading boys a partner Pokémon.

And when he saw you had a Pokémon he wanted to battle.

“But I don’t want Pumpkin to get hurt.”

“Battle me! Your weird Rufflet against my joltik!”

“But-“

You had no choice that day as Pumpkin instantly jumped off your shoulder and stood bravely.

You won barely but that was enough for Emmet to view you as a rival.

You taught Emmet about breeding Pokémon for specific traits and he took all your information to heart.

Even as years passed he still came to you for questions until he became confident in his abilities.

He fought and caught all his teams but has a love for his yellow spider babies and soon had so many, though he bred his for more fighting based states.

You only bred for shinies. Granted you worked for your parents so any Pokémon was usually given to professors or trainers.

This is how you got your team, whom you mainly only had for companions, pumpkin evolved and you, Emmet, and Ingo screamed at how pretty the blue was.

Your team was a pretty blue Braviary, a pink Mienshao, a blue ringed Whirlipede, a dark teal duosion, and a yellow Larvesta.

Each battle you had, Emmet won.

You didn’t think much of it until you were visiting the twins in Nimbasa city, where they had to try and work as subway bosses.

You were at their house alone, unaware that someone took interest in the yellow Larvesta that you carry around like a baby.

You didn’t know they followed you to the twins home.

Not until the broke in and your screams echoed in the house, pumpkin came out of his pokeball and the large aggressive bird scared the would be thief off.

You called Emmet and explained everything.

“Hey can you teach me how to battle properly? So my Pokémon can protect themselves from something like this?”

Emmet’s heart broke at your scared tone.

“Of course! We are friends, I was going to force you to anyways, Pumpkin maybe big and intimidating but he is not very strong, we will get to work!”

Soon Emmet was teaching you how to battle, type match ups, combos, what is super effective and not effective against what.

“It’s best to give a Pokémon a variety of moves, sure Braviary is a flying type but he can learn more moves aside from flying, which can help if your opponent isn’t weak against flying type attacks.”

He gave you so much information that you’re grateful Ingo gave you several of their old books on the topics.

Emmet watched you study and practice, helping and guiding you along the way. He was there to squeal and cry with you through every evolution and seeing the off colored Pokémon.

He thinks the power blue on Reuniclus is pretty and the more tealish blue on Scolipede’s rings are to die for.

He watched you grow as a trainer and the longer he did the more he started he realized he had fallen for you.

“Emmet! Can we battle? I wanna show you how far I’ve gotten!”

He laughs at your excitement.

“Of course, but I won’t go easy on you.”

“I wouldn’t expect you to.”

And with that the battle was intense. Ingo was the mediator, who watched in awe at the explosive and flashy battle between you and his twin.

Pokémon dropping.

It was Emmet’s Archeops vs your Mienshao.

And a well timed bounce held your victory.

“I…I beat you? OH MY ARCEUS I BEAT YOU!” You cheered, quick to hug and cheer with your Mienshao who was purring happily.

Emmet was beyond happy, his joy was bright and obvious.

As if on autopilot he walked towards you.

Your smile melts his heart and he can’t help himself but to hug you. Picking you up and spinning you around.

But he started smothering your face with kisses is what caught you off guard.

“I’m so verrrry proud of you! You’ve come so far!….o-oh! Oh my-I’m so sorry I don’t know what came over me!” Emmets puts you down and instantly starts apologizing.

You’re so dazed that your childhood friend turned crush was just smooching your face.

“Yeah no it’s cool-“

“I’ve just liked you for so long and it wasn’t even thinking oh Arceus I’m so sorry!”

“Emmet it’s okay, I like you too.”

“I can’t believe I-…wait what.”

He heard you was the funny part, if the look of realization over took his face before he squeals and sprints to Ingo to tell him the news.

As if Ingo hasn’t been standing there from the begging.

the way that one line from the new epilogue in an astarion romance is going to HAUNT me

just. what a profoundly intense thing to confess to someone.

like, just these six months of newfound happiness with you exerts a force on his heart equal and in direct opposition to two centuries of endless torment, the gnawing hunger and exploitation. this flashbulb-bright fraction of his long life holds the same gravity to him as years upon years of darkness and suffering.

in all likelihood, he hasn’t even known his lover for as long as his worst memory lasted, that year sealed away to go mad from starvation and sensory deprivation, yet he still tells them this brief time has been so fundamentally and powerfully important that the weight of even that unimaginable hell is vanishingly small compared to this present he has now and the future ahead of them both.

how am i supposed to act normal about this.

#i need to lay down #just drop this in there right at the beginning why not! #that’s INTENSE. and completely sincere considering his demeanor at the party. god #he’s so… nice. in the romanced epilogue. i expected him to be a little smug and jokey #if tav told him the others weren’t doing so hot without the two of them around #but he takes it so genuinely and with visible disappointment?? literally shocked me #i thought he would say oh of course their lives have taken a turn without our impressive leadership lol! #and then redirect into something a little less flippant #but man. he just gets sad. astarion six months into a loving relationship is like a stray cat that instantly gets cuddly when you adopt it #dude went cotton candy marshmallow saccharine sweet in a HEARTBEAT #bless the others with your presence he says. i’ll always be here he says. we have forever after all he says. #head in my hands. how could they do this to me #astarion ancunin #astarion bg3 #astarion #bg3 epilogue spoilers #bg3 spoilers #baldur’s gate 3 spoilers #bg3

I like to think that Leo one day decides to really play around with his portaling and teleportation abilities and see the full extent of them.

Like - continuously throwing one sword and teleporting to it while throwing the next one immediately and repeating this as long as he can to see how far he can keep it up without stopping.

Making little portals in the air that lead right up against the ground so he could potentially just stand on the portal in the middle of the sky.

Ultimate storage system - anything anywhere at any time is available if he knows where to get it (personally my headcanon for why he goes from two satchels to one in the movie.)

Phasing to avoid attacks - like, he could lightly toss a sword a single centimeter and teleport to it, and in that short amount of time he can completely avoid hits.

If they ever do go to space and end up on different planets, with enough training he can just…go there, whenever. Not only would this be great for being well traveled and having more places to go in general, but this also opens up more room for connections and allies that could assist them the next time they need help against a grand foe.

Leo can easily remove injured team members from a fight and get them help without having to account for transportation times.

On that note - Leo’s teleportation in particular acts on a particle level. It’s quite literally breaking him down into particles and remaking him every time he uses it. Both for him and for anyone he uses it on. Who’s to say it can’t be used for healing? At least for basic wounds.

None of this even touches upon the offensive potential of both portals and teleportation. Leo’s abilities flourish more as a support main, but that doesn’t mean those abilities can’t easily be used as weapons - and I don’t think I need to get into how exactly they can be. Portal chopping alone can take on a very different meaning…

Furthermore, I gotta wonder if he’ll always need the swords for this, or if he could one day be able to achieve the same results without them.

My point being - teleportation and portals are super OP. Even with the abilities Leo has in present they are so unbelievably adaptable and so fun to think about in terms of basic mechanics.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #I LOVE teleportation and portals and it’s one of the things that instantly latched me onto Leo #man I didn’t even touch upon how cool the potential for combining the bros abilities would be #that would be another post entirely #but yeah portals and teleportation #ESPECIALLY teleportation are so crazily adaptive and can be used for an insane amount of things if applied correctly #all the boys’ abilities laugh in the face of physics and reality #now I’m wondering if teleporting with someone else and THEN going through a portal WHILE TELEPORTING would mess with both of them #like…the Krang right? #Leo teleported them both through an open portal #wonder how that could mess with them on a particle level hmmmm especially considering the place the Prison Dimension is HMMMM #EDIT: YEAH SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED IT #but yeah them being hesitant to rely too much on these abilities in battle after the Krang makes sense #BUT #out of battle…now we’re talking #ngl out of battle mystics can be even more fun because they’re just pushing themselves and not being life and death about it #okay I’m gonna go further but consider the potential for transporting massive objects like VEHICLES too #like he could teleport the whole turtle tank or more in that case #and just think of the potential for space travel that could have #okay I’m stopping now #ACTUALLY NO IM NOT #consider Leo being able to stay in the in between of a portal #making it a little space he can access and stay in if he needs a moment alone #the dangers that could amount from it too tho like #godddd the possibilities #I don’t have enough tags to ramble as much as I want to :(

Metal Sonic being voiceless and that being played for the horror, but less in the way of "he doesn't physically have a voice box" and more in the sense that he's voiceless metaphorically.

Not only does he not possess the voice box, but he doesn't have any tools to communicate. He's never offered pen and paper. Never given the opportunity to write digital reports except with only the briefest of words. Never taught even a scrap of sign language, as crude as such a communication would be due to his lack of facial features.

If you handed him a speech generating device, would he even know what to do with it?

#sth #metal sonic #THAT'S the kind of angst I love exploring your honor #idk man. something about alternative communication methods. #it's a mini pet peeve of mine for Metal to just get a voicebox installed in redemption fics without a blink of an eye #like! that's a huge metaphor you're handling with that!! you're missing all the interesting stuff by just 'curing' him then and there!!! #you are literally giving a voiceless character a voice for (effectively) the first time and you don't feel the narrative weight of that?? #and I know he's a robot but the idea of him being instantly 'cured' is. . . eh? #It's not my favorite. I'd much rather explore other options. #playing around with this in my longfic hence the post about it

Wait, did you put a photo of Vil and Neige as kids in Eric’s office??

oh good, I was afraid that wasn't going to read properly and people would just be like "what is this supposed to be". :') but yeah! I like to think Eric was pretty fond of Neige as a kid! single dad sees orphan child approximately the same age as his own son and goes "hmm. okay, you guys are going to be friends now." (this did not go as well as he'd hoped.)

(also I do love how it's kind of a running joke that everyone loves Neige except for Vil, who's standing over in the corner and just seething with furious irrational hatred. someday maybe he'll find someone who doesn't think Neige is the best thing since cinnamon rolls.)

high school timber is all about repression!!!

it's about bernard desperately trying to prove to himself and his parents that he's straight!! because his parents already don't like him and he cannot be gay. not now not ever!!!! so he puts up this front of a ladies man and he picks a girl he cant ever get together with and maybe he kisses like 3/4 of the female population at grieves and gains a reputation but hey! at least he's not gay! but he's so caught up in making sure his eyes don't to stick too long on tyrone's face or michael-from-biology's eyes or kabir-from-study-hall's thick thighs that even his attraction to women is under a filter. and it's not that he doesn't like women, he does! very much so!! but it's that he's soo caught on not being perceived as gay that he cant show his attraction to women the way he'd like to. it's all under this filter of what he thinks Real Men who are attracted to women act like so it's this brash, loud, crass, thing and it's not him at all. it's "ooh tim, ms. winters is soooo hot!" or "hey kayla, why don't you and i get to know each other a little better, if you know what i mean?" or "god her tits are soo big. she's so fucking hot!" and all this other shit when he really means, "tim, why the fuck does your stepmom have such a pretty smile?" or "kayla, you said you liked yugioh? i'd love to hear more about it!" or "god fuck, that girl has such pretty hands. i think if i held them i'd combust." but none of that is how a Real Man likes women so he shuts that shit down before it even has a chance to come up. it's fine, he's fine. so what if no one ever holds him like he holds those girls? it's fine. he'll take the manwhore label and the fuckboy title and he'll give out as many kisses as those girls want and if sometimes when he's kissing a girl he wonders what it'd be like to sit on kabir's thighs or if tyrone's lips really are as soft as they look, that's just the devil speaking. and if sometimes when he walks back into the cafeteria at lunch, lipstick still smudged on the corner of his mouth, after making out with a girl and his eyes skirt over tim's lithe body and he wonders what it'd be like to draw out the same sounds he's heard girls make when he kisses them, or what it'd be like to brush his thumb over tim's hands, or what it'd be like to hold tim or press a kiss to his shoulder, or a million and one other things, well that'll just have to be another one his secrets.

and it's about tim who's in a relationship with stephanie and his dad knows he's robin and he doesn't have time to figure out why his mouth goes dry when the light hits bernard's hair just right. he's too busy trying to figure out a way back to his nightlife. and so what if bernard has pretty pink lips that look very plush? so what if he's looked at some of his teammates and thought they were handsome? he's not blind!!! he has a girlfriend! and he loves her! and so what if his hand brushes bear's during fourth-period bio? so what if the tingles last all day? it was just some static! and it doesn't matter that when bear laughs his eyes get squinty and they water over -- cause bear always laughs so hard he almost cries -- and it sounds like bells. and it doesn't even matter, that sometimes when bernard walks back into the lunchroom, 10 minutes before the bell rings, lipstick smeared across the corner of his mouth, lips tilted up in the most charming smirk he's ever seen, that his chest fills with jealousy. it doesn't matter that his hands clench into fists so hard that his nails leave crescents marks all day. it doesn't matter that he wants to be bear's flavor of the day, week, month, whatever. he wants to leave the lipstick marks!! he wants to know if bear really is as good as he hears the girls speak about!!! he wants to know "that thing bernard does with his tongue!" is! he wants to drape himself over bear the same way he sees those girls do! he wants to know what bear's hands feel like gripping his waist. he wants, wants, wants!!! but it doesn't matter. it doesn't. he's got a girlfriend, her name is stephanie, she's gorgeous and, most importantly he loves her. he's too busy for bernard anyway.

#oh my god #what is this #but in all honesty #hs!timber really is all about the repression #they both have so much going in their lives at that moment that they do Not have time to explore bisexuality #bear falls first (into bisexuality) & tim falls harder (into bisexuality) #meaning bear attends a few gsa meetings/reads a few pamphlets/comes out to a few friends and slowly settles into being bi #meanwhile tim wakes up one night in a cold sweat stumbles to the bathroom and thinks to himself 'oh my god i like dick too' #and this isn't to say that tim was cheating on steph emotionally! it's just sometimes he looks at bear and.... wonders #bear on the other hand.... that man was halfway in love with tim during hs and i truly believe that #darla gets a text one night from tim and all it says is 'did you notice that bear put on pink lipgloss today?' #and darla immediately texts back 'is this why you wont go out with me?' #and tim instantly realizes how gay that initial text sounded #anyway tim seething over bear's new girl of the week while bear is doing everything he can to not read into tim's arm around his shoulder #also #demisexual!tim truthers rise!!!!! #anyway #dc #bernard dowd #tim drake #timber #timbern
