Make him a tumblr account

[Cropped screenshot of Volo in Pokemas saying "I wonder why photography has progressed so much into the present era..." with the player's response highlighted as "(Tell him about social media.)"]

he would do numbers on here. he loves to lie and commit to the bit FKSJDFKJ

edit: I'm a fool. I should have said "okay, poof, he's a tumblr account"

#oceandi answers #marblescollector #volo #pokemon masters #singlehandedly made me desperate to redraw him as the jerma 'king of the junjile' bit #also I caught up on his stuff in pokemas and FSDKJFHDSK #he's perfect. he's the worst. I love him. I hope he get absolutely OBLITERATED emotionally at some point in this arc <3 #I hope rei kicks his ass. I hope he gets to team up with arceus and his togepi evolves from friendship. I hope I have enough gems back #by the time they release his terrible arceus cosplay. biting him biting him biting him biting him biting him <3

Imagine Volo comes in as a challenger

THAT WAS ONE OF MY FIRST THOUGHTS WHEN I DECIDED ON FUNCTIONALLY-IMMORTAL VOLO TO BE HONEST

(that or pizza delivery guy LMAOOOOO)

#oceandi answers #sadgecamps #the actual reunion is already fully sketched and partly lined I'm just slow and there are a LOT of updates to get through before it. :(

Gene cries every time he looks at Cynthia because she reminds him of Volo,,,

I THINK GUZMA GAVE HIM A HEADS-UP THAT SHE MIGHT BE THERE,,, BUT. WELL. IF HE DIDN'T,,,,

(SOUND WARNING IT'S PRETTY LOUD....)

[VIDEO DESCRIPTION: gene walks into the Alola League office and shuts the door behind him before glancing up and seeing cynthia there with the audio "yeah man come over in a-- OH FUCK" he screams and gets all scared when he sees her, backing away as the audio continues with "U-UH, I LIIIVE HERE~ 🎵" much to Cynthia's chagrin. He ends the video looking very small and sad.]

[oceandiagonale]

been re-reading the whole series once again and i noticed in the comic where gene is talking to lusamine does... does she ever figure out her husband has been living on the Bean Minigame Island this whole time? does GENE know that??? we never get a resolution to this plot point in-game! (i know it's pretty inconsequential to the plot rn but it's just fun to think about)

OH MY GOD I NEVER POSTED THAT HERE, ONLY ON TWITTER. LIKE FOREVER AGO.

no, gene never told lusamine about mohn -- ingo is the first faller he's ever told their backstory!! 😳

BUT tbf there's that one cutscene at the end of the game where Mohn shows up at the aether foundation and lusamine + gladion decide to let him go without telling him he's their family, so it takes the dilemma out of gene's hands a bit FKJSDJKF

(text + images from the post so people don't have to go to twitter; post is from november 18 2020):

"okay so like... I legitimately don’t know whether my oc should tell lusamine that mohn’s just... chilling on an island or let her find out the same way as the USUMO postgame scene. It’s one thing to have no control over it in the game, but in my own drawings I have a choice...

seriously is it even right to have generic /tell/ mohn "hey I have information about your past. would you like to know it or live in ignorant bliss? is this why the player character in gen 7 doesn’t have the option to tell her either skjdhfskdjhf"

Volo here got a speedrun record of getting into a meanful relationship AND breakup, bro just went for it

Meanwhile Guzma over here is stuck in a 500k slowburn fic like a true soldier

PFFFTTTTTT

volo, speedrunner: and if we stand in this spot at JUST the right time and we have the right Secret ID and world seed -- this is why we did the RNG manipulation at the start of the game -- you can clip out of bounds and go directly to the end credits. It's all really quite simple, I got it on my first try, though I did have an advantage in that I was familiar with most of the controls from the prequel series --

guzma, completionist: so we're almost done with collecting every recipe -- we just gotta remake a couple of 'em with different toppings and we're missing some of the desserts that're locked behind other events and the skilltree. Now we've been grinding up for skill points, but we're actually gonna put these towards upgrading our dash ability and mitigating effects of low sleep, it's gonna really matter in the next -- chat, I already TOLD ya the romance skill tree's locked for a couple more plot points -- no, I'm not gonna use a speedrun strat to activate it before the cutscene!! -- chat, this isn't rigged, it's -- you're here at an 100% stream, you're gonna have t'wait -- all right, knuckleheads, I'll unlock the screaming sound for 2 minutes if ya wanna waste all your channel points on it, but I'm gonna keep makin' mac n cheese while you're doing that -- IT'S NOT RIGGED!

The bit about Volo not knowing about Social Media made me realize that Spare doesn't know either.

Plumeria: What do you mean she doesn't know? Aren't you her girlfriend and a giant tech need?

Penny: I am not introducing someone who just recently decided that human beings have value to influencers and irony poisoned meme performances.

*in background*

Spare, talking to Skulls Grunts: Well, I suppose the walrein would be more surprising, but what does that have to do with vanilla extract?

the only memes the Skull Kids are allowed to tell her are a couple of the day-of-the-week ones (Tuesday again no problem, Sparkle on It's Wednesday, and Out of Touch Thursday) since those are pretty uplifting ones, and maybe some old classics like Rick Rolling and All Star that have been around for everrrrrrrr. and even then they're on thin ice.

I haven't got volo yet in pokemas, but honestly from the event alone his ass is trying so hard to deny his care for Pokémon and he is failing

"oh, your togepi loves you very much!"

"uh, that's. Well to properly observe her I just have to take good care of her obviously, that's it, that's the only reason."

YEAH HE IS SO. TRYING TO BE LIKE "oh you know <3 scientific curiosity haha <3 I don't have an emotional investment in anything there's nothing anyone can hold over my head ever!" there's everything wrong with him I love him so much 😂😂😂... 😳

Gene be like

(image: meme where thoughts in the outline of a head are translated to a word bubble outside the outline. in this case, the thoughts are "I lost everything I loved back then, I almost ruined the world, I lost Ingo when I was supposed to take him home -> ??? -> I got dumped, I guess")

THESE TWO MEMES COMING IN RIGHT AFTER EACH OTHER NEARLY MADE ME CHOKE 💀💀💀

#oceandi answers #fragmented-ghost #haxoruki #generic protagonist #memes: thought to speech and vector despicable me Hey #I'M LITERALLY WHEEZING #PART OF THAT IS ALLERGIES BUT THESE ARE SO FUNNY

[oceandiagonale]

Ok but something I didn't even CONSIDER before until the Delivery Guy Volo comic;

The fact Gene was sent to the future and in an instant he's jumped like 200+ years (or whatever the actual time is), but Volo had to more or less wait it out.

Gene takes a while to process it. His breakup with Volo is still a fresh wound when he goes to the future. He has a support group, but as with all things, time is what he needs to heal and move on. But he's not at that stage yet it seems.

Volo, from his perspective, likely had Gene ripped away from him. Gone. Possibily not even knowing exactly where he went. He's hurt by the separation, but he has time. He's able to process, to accept, to heal and move on. Hundreds of years without his love, and over time, he gets to the point where he can move on.

Then they meet again.

For Gene, it was like he saw Volo yesterday. He cheated time and jumped ahead. For Volo, he hasn't seen Gene since many, many generations of humans ago. Volo has seen people be born, grow, become feeble, and die. He's likely made friends who, like Gene's Hisui friends, are long gone and in the ground.

Gene has one generation of people he knew to grieve. Volo has multiple.

So seeing each other so suddenly, so unexpectedly, the person they cared about so so long in the past, but so so fresh in their minds, they are at uneven ends.

Gene's scabbed wound opens wider.

Volo's faded scar cuts him once more.

OUH....... YEAH, YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD........ 😭😭😭

and for both of them, there's other losses tied to losing each other which makes it worse!!

for Volo, it's the way he lost EVERYTHING he had believed in for nearly 800 years; he'd been hoping and working with giratina to remake the world into one that wouldn't be so painful to live in, but then Gene somehow turned that upside down?? and he had to give up not only Gene but also the chance to GET that world because he learned he couldn't do it even if he was handed every opportunity on a silver platter 😔😔😔

and then he lived through the Last War which was huge and traumatizing but at least he got a cool leather jacket out of it

meanwhile, Gene's carrying a lot of guilt and self-doubt from losing Ingo and giving Volo the chance to fight Arceus in the first place, added to the usual fears about having the entire fate of the world rest on his shoulders, so his wound is unable to close all the way despite all of guzma's help :(

“ship sinky” I can’t XD also please inject that panel 3 hug into my veins thanks <3

YEAH I ACTUALLY HAD TO CALL MY PARTNER TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT COUNTS AS A BREAKUP MOVIE AND WHICH ONES I SHOULD PARODY LMAOOOO but I forget what the DVD case hidden behind "ship sinky" is -- I know it had an actual name but I don't remember

also auh. me too..... they're getting so many hugs in this arc this isn't even half of them but each one has a different quality...... this one is definitely the most clingy 😭😭😭

I better see Volo in the new Pokemon Legends game or idgaf 🤬🤬

IT WOULD BE NICE TBHHHHHHHH

THOUGH if he's in it, won't it be hard to play as vera? like if he does some bonkers plan again or acts like he doesn't know the player it feels like it would mess with their timeline 🤔🤔🤔

(I'll play it regardless because as of 2025, Gene will have not set foot in Kalos for 11 years and I want him to go back no matter what time period it is. it's good for him <3 also I'm bringing guz and volo with him for sure because he needs some emotional support)

[oceandiagonale]

Gene telling Guzma about volo and Guzma just deciding to find him and drag him to gene if it’s the last thing he does because gene genuinely misses Volo and he will not have that

.............................👀

you guys should bully me into finishing all these updates KJFSJKDHF

I know this might sound like such a dumb thing. But I find it both funny and kinda endearing that Generic basically has 2 sets of dads. (Even tho one of the pairs don't have genders)(wait, what's the gender-neutral version of that? I guess it would be parents, but calling them "dads" specifically sounds funnier ngl)

Anyways, sorry for the weird ask/short rant. I just wanted to talk about my own silly amusement over the thought "Generic has 4 dads". Have a nice day.

YEAH..... celebi probably wouldn't mind being called a dad tbh, the gender of it just psychically bounces off them 😂😂😂

(it's so funny because in terms of age archie and maxie are like, definitely not his dads but emotionally? they're totally either his dads or his uncles KFJHSDF

also I've been working on the "pieces" au a lot for fun, and their dynamic in the postapocalypse is just as fun)
