Fic title: Skip and Twist and Then (Home Again)

(send a title and i’ll tell you the fic i would write for it)

home again (and again, and again, and again.)

the trouble being it's hard to stop when you don't know your destination. ingo is not the first to be a victim of the hisuian gods' lack of understanding of humanity—although, first and last have very little meaning now anyway, and maybe he was the first, for some definition of first, because it seems they were... gentler? with the others. most of them, it seems, eventually recall where they're meant to be, in some fashion or another. most of them.

so the gods of creation, they'd be happy to send him back, but they don't exactly keep diligent records. if he doesn't know, then neither do they, and... he doesn't.

for all his trying, the only thing he half-remembers is that he was... a guide? of some sort? although that's an imperfect term for it. he was more there for the journey than the destination, he thinks. (there's a word on the tip of his tongue, but he can never quite catch it before it vanishes again.)

so in lieu of actually returning him, they give him that.

he is the guide to travelers. rather than risk doing any further damage with their indelicate powers of reality, the gods send wayward souls to him, and he takes them home. the hope being that one day, one of them will happen to match up with his true destination, and he'll be able to return home himself. though, in more practical terms, he's also quite happy to help the others regardless. it feels good to be useful, especially when he empathizes so keenly with them.

since he doesn't remember much besides the idea of the job, the form of this travel is malleable. sometimes it's a road, although not frequently, for some reason. most often it is some form of boat, which doesn't faze him as much as it should considering he's fairly certain he didn't know how to sail before. but no matter what form it takes, there's always that vague sense of recognition as soon as he sees it. languages, too, come and go as they're needed. he's always able to converse with the travelers, enough to get the job done, anyway, and then the sounds fade into vague shapes when the next one comes.

which is all. useful. in the short term. but he wouldn't be lying if there wasn't an accompanying feeling of concern, when he thought about it for too long. if it's so easy for them to change what he knows, how does he know what little he remembers was ever actually reliable in the first place? how much of it has been written over, with all of these journeys coming to take its place?

if he did find home, would he even recognize it?

Ebay: "Giant salamander Plush from japan kyoto"

90cm/3ft long

Giant salamanders are basically real life mud dragons, ehhh it fits the theme. This guy is pretty much life sized compared to the real animal!

For context, this is what the real animal looks like:

Gorgeous.

Detective Pikachus live action Charizard looks insane. The computerization of all the Pokémon look very odd to almost the exact way they would actually look with some of them even having fur and scales!

What do you think of the new Pokémon designs and what can we expect from the new Pokémon movie: Detective Pikachu? 🤔

1 and 6 for Palina and Ingo?

(character dynamics ask game)

OOOOH these two are a really good duo. underutilized tbqh a LOT of fun potential btwn them

1. what were A’s first impressions of B? were they mostly correct or have they changed?

this is a toughie bc like most of these involving ingo it requires deciding things abt the time and circumstances of his initial intro to the pearl clan that i still don't have a going hc for that isn't just for one or two fic plots. but like, all those possibilities are so INTERESTING. was it before or after lord arcanine's death? the palina irida leader competition? how quickly did sneasler decide he was Hers and start acting accordingly? did they meet soon after he arrived or was it delayed a bit bc palina was living in the coastlands at the time? and all of those questions i think have a major impact on the start of their relationship and the way they would view each other initially.

i think most likely is that palina's kind of always accompanied by her two growlithe, so she probably would have seen him interact with them and that forms a large part of her initial opinion on him (he has a very good intuitive grasp of their body language/comfort zones and is overall good w/ them and also is very patient with the little lord being very shy, which is probably partially due to the fact that he might not know he's a lord, but palina still appreciates seeing it), but then she would probably also know he was Some Guy From Nowhere and i... am honestly not sure what she would think about that. like, i don't think she's as immediately hostile towards him as like, gaeric or calaba, but i think she's also a kind of cautious person by nature and they know literally Nothing about him, that makes her a little suspicious. but then sneasler likes him? and sneasler doesn't like Anybody. so she's like... wary, probably keeping him at arm's length like the majority of people, but willing to give him a chance. yanno

otoh ingo's initial opinion of her probably majorly depends on the circumstances and in particular what he knows about her going in. like, does he know she's a warden. does he know what a warden is. does he know anything about lord arcanine. not that ingo is particularly likely to be judgy or anything but the amount of background context he has impacts his thoughts bc palina is a person deeply defined by her circumstances. if she weren't traumatized and dealing with all of the things she's dealing with in canon i think she'd probably act very differently, especially to strangers. so ingo will have a different view on her if he thinks "this warden is just kind of quiet and depressed i guess" vs "you're probably quiet and depressed because your lord died and your whole clan hates you for it." yanno.

6. what does A think B thinks of them? or, if asked to describe their relationship, how would they do it? are they right?

HMMM well. the one thing abt these two that i come back to a lot is that i think ingo for sure agrees with palina about not pushing growlithe into lordship too fast, and i also don't think his own internal morals would let him sit and listen to anyone shit talking her for that choice. especially once he knows the story and has met the warden and growlithe in question, he kind of can't not defend her. this is sort of stupid considering his own position in the clan is so precarious and he probably should be keeping his mouth shut but that thought does not make it through processing in time to stop him.

idk if palina has ever like, been present for any of these arguments, but she would probably know about it secondhand at least. and it's definitely not something she gets a lot of from her own clan—even irida often sounds more like she's just being patient with her than anything—so it's... yknow. it's nice to have one other person on her side at least. so basically i think palina knows ingo thinks she's not just like, someone who's allowed to grieve, but that she's a good warden who is making the actively correct choice, and he feels strongly enough about that to actively speak up about it.

unfortunately i'm not sure if palina knows how to fully express her feelings abt this, especially if it's true that she views herself as someone dangerous to associate with and tends to push people away bc of it. and as mentioned before, common sense dictates ingo should be keeping his head down and not making waves etc. and i think that might kind of frustrate palina, that he won't just do the smart thing and let her be a pariah. the fact that he's kind and she likes him paradoxically means she has this instinctive desire to put distance between them so she doesn't hurt him by proximity.

and like, would palina tell him this?? is she even conscious enough that she's doing this mental math to be able to put words to it?? she's conscious and intentional about distancing herself from iscan in public, but i think iscan being diamond also might make it a little bit easier to rationalize. warden or no, the diamond clan can't hurt her as badly as her own clan can. so ingo's concept of her opinion on him is entirely reliant on whether he's aware she acts weird to the pearl clan specifically because she's afraid of being burned or hurting others, or not, in which case he would have no fucking idea why she seems to change her demeanor on a dime. at least she doesn't stop growlithe from coming to bug him for attention at warden meetings, so she must not be that hostile towards him. this is his only clue.

So it’s not a dragon... Sorry it took me so long, my little dude just refused to be a dragon. Next time I’ll start with the wings, maybe. 

I do have a question for you, though. If it were a three headed lizard and each head had a horn, would it be a unihydra or a trilizard? I like trilizard, because then you could have the trilizard tournaments.

Titled: Unilizard. Medium: graphite.
