The fakemon I've been designing recently! :D They're Fairy/Fire puzzle box critters!! I ended up liking them way more than first expected, so they ended up getting polished designs pffft~ Conceptually they live in old ruins and puzzle dungeons with puzzles and traps (kind of like Dungeon Meshi but maybe not as deadly), and are a very playful bunch. The fun part is that they can probably have a lot of type variants based on different kinds of puzzles or biomes, etc.
Originally I just wanted to design something small for a friend's pokemon ARPG for fun, but now I just think they're so so so so cute and they're everything to me, thanks. <3 I wrote some mini dex entries for them below if you wanna read em though (I know there's usually two different ones for each pokemon but I wrote four each). ^///^)/
Puzwick The Puzzle Box Pokemon
It lives in old ruins and old intricate puzzle dungeons. It looks very polite is very innocent, and will excitedly guide travelers through the dark with the light of its flame.
Each Puzwick has a unique puzzle. Its body is made up of various blocks that can twist and spin at will, which makes odd winding and rattling sounds.
It is rumored to lead travelers deeper into dungeons to trap them, but in reality it likely just wants to play.
When two Puzwicks collide, both will attempt to stay spinning for as long as possible. Whoever wins gets to lead the way.
Blitzlocke The Sliding Block Pokemon
Its often playful nature makes it constantly attempt to prank the people they meet. Unfortunately this sometimes means purposefully triggering traps within the dungeon.
It can scrape its wings together or against its body to generate sparks, which it uses to light fuses and set off traps. 
It enjoys swinging its body around and hearing its blocks tap against each other. Sometimes doing this can generate sparks.
The flames of its head and tail aren’t actually hot, and will grow extra bright when they’re having fun.
Jigscorch The Jigsaw Cube Pokemon
It acts as a dungeon master, setting itself up as the final obstacle for travelers to overcome within dungeons. It is incredibly clever and difficult to impress, but loves to see others have fun.
It can use its small wings as makeshift keys to open doors and activate mechanisms throughout the dungeons they live in. Some say it is responsible for shaping the dungeon itself.
It is incredibly nimble and flexible despite its large size, able to shift and twist the blocks of its body to easily fit through and navigate underground corridors.
It is able to shift its blocks to cover the fire on its back. Other Pokemon sit and sleep on top of the warm blocks when it rests.
They can move like this btw:

It's hard to get that across but I think they're neat! ^///^
The fact I conceptualized them as living in funny puzzle dungeons and it just becoming a solid fact of the world that everyone casually accepts is also another exceedingly funny thing to me btw. <3

ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.

"the curtains weren't blue on purpose. why should we care?"
my love! let me ask you this - did you eat breakfast today? this tiny moment in your life. just think about it. did you?
for some of you, the answer is yes and for some of you it is technically and for some of you it is does coffee count. some of you reached for cereal or gmo-free overnight oats or frozen waffles or 3-day-old pizza. sometimes we eat the same thing, every day, for weeks. i get tired of eggs randomly, only to go back to craving them desperately. i'm cuban; i take my coffee like my father showed me, very milky and sweet.
some of us ate in a hurry. some of us hate eating breakfast but if we don't we will get nauseous later. some of us took our meds first or took our meds after. some of us have a kitchen 5 feet wide and sometimes it's the biggest room in the house. some of us are confident there will be food in the pantry and some of us flinch and say well, the paycheck is coming. some of us turn on a podcast while we eat or we scroll our phones or write in our diaries.
some of us are choosing, specifically, not to eat breakfast. some of us are too busy. some of us are pretending we "just forgot," but we are ignoring the warning signs that everything feels too-heavy. some of us are so consumed with anxiety or grief that we can't eat. some of us can't stand up long enough to make our coffee. some of us have no table to sit down and eat.
i cannot tell you what an artist "meant" by their choices. but they did have to make a choice, conscious or otherwise, to give you information. to give you a little bit more light. each of these choices are little stars of data; connecting speckles for you to weave through, drawing a line.
you cannot use a mirror in a dark room. for some of us; we will not care that the curtains are blue, because that will just be a data point and not enough light to see by. for some of us, the blue curtains will be the same as our childhood bedroom. it will make us seasick. for some of us, blue will be the color of frostbite. it might look like a pixel up close; but from a distance, oh! the picture blooms.
i cannot tell you what will stick out for you. what will carry meaning. some of you will read the sentence "i didn't have breakfast today" and say "this means nothing." some of you will read that and say "oh, me neither." some of you will say "this means the character is probably a little grouchy." some of you will say "oh, i wonder if they're okay. why didn't they eat anything?" ... art is a mirror. i am holding hands with you, over space and time, and asking you to feel something with me.
i want you to read my work and find a blue pair of curtains. i want you to read my work and find things in it that i never imagined placing. i have no way of knowing what will resonate with you, that's true. and maybe i just was hungry while i wrote this, and thinking about the eggs in my fridge. but if you found meaning, that meaning is yours. it cannot be erased just because i didn't "intend" it. you created a different world by interpreting my work. it's collaborative! that's beautiful! that's stunning!
just! imagine looking at the night sky and saying - it's stupid to have a favorite constellation or a favorite star. they're just there.
because here's the thing - across centuries and cultures, we look up. we still find meaning in the stars. these beautiful, lovely scattered accidents. are you looking? they call. and we look back and say oh! of course we are!

well, I can't say I expected the new chapter to feature Idia (metaphorically) going to (metaphorical) hell, getting a pep talk from his (metaphorical) Phantom brother which helps him finally move on once and for all from his brother's death, and (metaphorically) overblotting again to fight his way back out of (metaphorical) hell, only to have his darkest fear (non-metaphorically) come true when his mom goes through his computer and finds all his secret files. but I am glad it did!
also this is all a flashback for the purpose of explaining to our group what the heck is going on (whether or not any of it is getting through is another matter)

Mockery of the audience
[ID: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fanart of Kim Dokja standing in a mocking pose with his back to the viewer, speaking to a huge gallery of silhouettes. He's in his Demon King form, and one of his legs is kicked back as he raises his hands dramatically. Most of the scene is shaded in dark purple, but Dokja is cast in bright red. A huge purple eye with a star-shaped pupil stares down from above, casting a spotlight over Dokja. End ID]
