My aunt always says she will mess things up on purpose in her projects so she remembers that she is not like God and that she has flaws (but really she does it on accident and then just made up a bs reason lmao)

Hi so I don’t know if you’re taking requests at the moment but a couple days ago I fell onto the concrete on my way to school and both my knee and leg were bleeding and needed one of those big patch bandaids so I was wondering if you could do like the Hazbin Hotel characters when there kid falls over and gets hurt like I did only they hurt both of their knees and they try fixing it first then they go to there parent and ask for help (no I definitely don’t struggle with asking for help what are you talking about) and they need like multiple patch bandaids on both legs, sorry if I bothered you with this request have a nice day/night

OOP I HOPE YOUR KNEE HEALS LOL! And yeah I don’t like asking for help either 🦆 also sorry if some of them are short because I didn’t write in order and kept skipping to finish other scenarios.✨

HOW THEY REACT TO CHILD! GN READER GETTING HURT:

Charlie

You were training to skateboard as you seen it on a dvd Alastor had for you. You seen how the human teens were skateboarding and wanted to do it as well.

And how did that go for you?

You fell with a face plant as you got up from the concrete from the pentagram city you known and hated for its crimes. You grumbled cursing yourself out as you kicked the damn skateboard as you wrench feeling a burning sensation in your knees to only look down and see them bleed.

At first you panicked like a dumb ass as you had a very shocked pikachu expression. But damn you didn’t want to ask mom….so you went to the hotel and go in your room grabbing some medical things.

You watched plenty of movies where they take the mc to the hospital…of course you can do this!

Time later, and you couldn’t get the hang of it as you actually tied your hands together with a wrapping bandage.

Charlie found you and snickers but grew concerned when she saw your knees. Good thing she was good at bandaging things.

So at the end it was a soft end as you had a cool skull bandage on both of your knees

LUCIFER

You were supposed to be in bed, BUT NOOO YOU WANTED TO BE A BAD ASS KID AND SAY NO!

You laid in bed with a grumpy face “fucking bed time…fuck bed times. I go to sleep when I wanna sleep…” you say under your breath. >:(

It was basically giving Eric cartman 🦆

You got out of bed as you sneak around the palace as you held your hand out letting out soft fireworks for a light source. Like hell…you didn’t wanna get caught but shit you were actually thirsty.

You went to the dinning room and go to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. You flew up with your three pair of wings and grab a glass. You smirked and turned around to find Lucifer, your father in his duck pjs tapping his foot with a raised brow.

You yelp shocked as you accidentally dropped the glass making some glass shatter as you flew to get away only to run into a wall.

At the end, you scrapped your knees by the wall somehow as the kitchen walls were brick and you slide down.

Lucifer tried to help you but you ran to your room as he sighs at his stubborn child…

“What in the world was they thinking…”

Alastor

You found out about your shadow like powers your father had and wanted to test it out as Alastor had his own shadow watch over you with a soft smile.

And how did that go for you?

It went kinda well you suppose as you did some shadow tricks and even shadow transportation.

But….

He found out you were injured before you knew yourself. His shadow grabbed you into his lap as he shakes his head in disapproval at you getting yourself at how you tried to shadow transport but ending up falling on your knees first from the air.

“My sweet little doe…you must be more responsible with your powers…” Your father said as his shadow counterpart wraps your knees in a bandage wrap

VAGGIE

You were skating around the hotel and wanted to do a 360° on the hotel stairs as you let out a gremlin laugh putting up a 🤟 as you said “YOLO!”

Cut to you on your face as your skate board is rolling away from your flat out body on the floor. Yeahh….you ate your own words as you didn’t think you would fail a sick trick.

You got up but hissed looking at your knees that has carpet burn..

“Shitttt” you said hissing still getting up as you grab a skull bandage and putting it both on your knees.

Your mom found out tho….and boy did she give you a huge lecture about skating in the hotel as you felt ashamed at making your two moms, especially the mom who is pouring peroxide on both of your knees to disinfected anything in it.

“You’re grounded from your skateboard….” “WHAT!”

Husk

“Kid the fuck happened to you…” Husk said as you had turned your back from him. Husk scoffs as his own child wasn’t responding to him. He grabbed you by the scuff of your shirt and you faced him with teary eyes.

Context: you tried to run downstairs as your favorite show was on but ended up falling down the stairs like a dumbass and slide like a cartoon character as you sobbed just laying there

Husk’s eyes soften as he sighs sitting you on the bar took grabbing a med aid kit and an alcohol wipe. Husk didn’t want to assume but he just had to say it.

“So..kid, you gettin' picked on or something?” He asked as you jolted shocked making him narrow his eyes as if it was the right answer

“What?! No! Pops I ain’t gettin picked on…”

“ then answer.” He said seriously..

You told him the truth as you promised him not to laugh at you….he laughed as you scolded him.

ANGEL DUST

Let’s just say…monkey see, monkey do.

You saw your father practicing his pol dance skills as you watch clapping and appreciating skills. Your eyes shine amazed as your father left you with some leftovers from last dinner the hotel crew had with you.

You ate waiting for your father as you hum peacefully with fat nuggets by you. Your little mind wanted to learn how to pole dance elegantly like your father.

So what did you do?

You got on that damn pole and bruised the fuck out of your knees. Literally you tried to get down safe, maybe like a fireman? As you slide down you hit your knees first than your feet as fat nuggets squealed worried for you.

Your father came in tired as he sighs. But then he instantly comes over to see what was wrong as you covered your knees with a shy smile as fat nuggets poke his cute little nose to your hands covering your knees.

You didn’t want to ask him for help as you felt ashamed for doing dumb shit but Angel takes your hands off your knees and sighed again.

“Jeez kid…if you wanted to learn the sport, ask the pro next time sweetie.” Angel says kissing your head as you nod with a soft smile

SIR PENTIOUS

You tripped on his tail falling on your two knees as the egg blitz jumped at shocked. Your father didn’t even noticed as he was just excited to make smoothies with you.

You didn’t cry…no…of course no-

You cried like a little bitch…

BUT WHO COULDN’T AS IT HURT YOU!

You held both of your knees as the egg boiz surrounded you trying to calm you down as your papa slithers by you trying to see what was wrong. One of the egg boiz named frank explained what happened. You tried to say it didn’t hurt and that you could stand up.

You stood up with wobbly bleeding knees with a weary smile as you face planted.

Yeah pentious picked you up with his tail and cried to Charlie at how he is a horrible father for harming you as you and Charlie tried to call him down.

He calmed down as Charlie helps while pentious kept asking if you were okay

ADAM

You flew into a window having glass shards in both of your knees as you let out a scream.

Cut to you being escorted by angel guards to your house as Adam was pissed and tired .

“Fuck kid…just..” he rubs his eyes as he pulled your ear inside and slamming the door to the guards.

“Ow! Dad chill the fuck out old man! Ow ow ow!” You yelled as you hid your wings while Adam grumbled with an irritated expression. Adam definitely gave you a smallest lecture while cursing you out at how he is tired of having the guards come to his door.

Adam sighs looking at your knees while you huff covering them. Adam tries to pull your hands off your knees as you flinch away from him. Now Adam was serious as he pulls your hands off your knees with force. Only for his eyes widen with shock to see your knees cut with glass shards.

“Oh you gotta be fuckin' kidding me….” Adam says as he gets up and goes to get med kit. As much as an angel can self heal in heaven. You are only a kid…so it’s kinda slow unless you are a grown adult.

“You’re gonna be the death of me you little shit..”

Lute

Lute was busy training the other angels for the next extermination as you smile eating some food your mom brought you “couldn’t whine” about be hungry. As you watch your mom be a badass, you tried to mimic her moves only to bust your cheek and fall on your damn knees as if you were praying to the lord himself.

You got up and see gold blood coming out of your knees as you covered a small scream and ran out of the room your mom was in.

She definitely heard you as she side eyed the door you left out of. Her suspicions grew when she was tracks of gold blood where you were.

She just sighed as she facepalmed and told the females to halt in their training as she flew after you.

HAH YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HIDE YOUR WOUND FROM THE BLOOD THIRSTY LUTE!

AND HER BEING YOUR MOM?! yeah fuck no…she’s immediately throwing you over her shoulder as she takes to a nurses office as you wounded yourself while she brought you to work with her….

For context, it was Bring your kid to work day…..🦆

So it kinda embarrassing having some of the angels coo at you while lute had a nonchalant face as she patches you up.

General season 2 opinions. MASSIVE TDI 2023 season 2 spoilers ahead (as well as a huge wall of text.) You've been warned.

Ok, so here's everything I like about the season (I can count them on my fingers)

-There were some funny jokes

-MKulia was entertaining and it's now in my top 5 favorite ships, but it's not perfect, as I'll explain later

-Hockey dudes were a joy to watch I suppose

-Bowie stole the show as usual

-There are a lot of neat challenges (The canoe, slide, and dog challenges was a particular stand outs to me)

-MK herself was really funny

-MacArthur's cameo was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, and she bounces off of Chris really well

-Duncney is still broken up lol

Honestly that's about it in terms of positives, cuz I have a million other negatives for this supposed sequel to (imo) the best written season of the show.

-The Relationships were the single worst aspect about this season full stop. Ripaxel and Praleb are probably the worst couples the show has ever subjected me to. For Ripaxel, they basically removed anything interesting Ripper had going on and Axel wasn't allowed to live up to any kind of hype she created because one lame ass poem turned her into Ripper's girlfriend for the remaining duration of her run, only for the both of them to be tossed aside in episode 7 in perhaps the worst double elimination in the entire show.

-Praleb started off ok. I thought it was gonna be a one-sided crush plot initially before Episode 6. They had a couple cute moments before episode 8, of which their screentime became suffocating because afterwards is was this painful back and forth where Caleb tried explaining himself and Priya would be mad at him, then ally with him, then be mad at him again like it was so tiresome. By the time they got together in the finale again, I was wishing they had just followed up on Pramien instead. Caleb by himself was funny in the first half of season 2 and Priya was great in season 1, but the two of them together were insufferable

-Speaking of Priya, she went from one of the best characters in season 1 to one of the worst in season 2. Why did she have to make it all the way to episode fucking 12 after winning season 1?? Just for some generic heterosexual romance? They also made her so dumb with shit like knowing Julia is manipulating her but then getting a surprise Pikachu face when Julia manipulated her??? You spent your entire life preparing for this show, how the fuck did you not see this coming???

-Segwayying into Julia, she's the worst antagonist full stop. I've never seen such an absolute downgrade of a character. She was a goat in season 1 who was aware of her situation and acted accordingly because the stakes were real. Here? Reality basically warps around her just to keep her in the game. She does things characters would never fall for in season 1 and they just go with it?? They insist on keeping her in the finale and do basically nothing interesting with her. She's not even as funny as Island Heather at the end of the day.

-I mentioned MKulia earlier, so I'll just get to it here: I like it in concept. Two evil sapphics causing chaos together is really fun. My main issue is that it was very sudden. They both were not fans of each other at the end of season 1 and now I'm supposed to just believe they became friends off screen? I mean, I guess, but it's kinda cheap. I would have really liked it if it was straight up enemies to lovers ngl. Also the fact MK had very little agency outside of being Julia's lackey doesn't help either. I want to point to the fake contract thing, for instance. Why did Julia do that? That sounds like an MK thing to do.

-Time to dive into other characters: Damien is an absolute fucking tragedy. At the end of season 1, Damien had one ambition: win next season. They kinda did that, sure, but they regressed Damien into being a complete coward to do so, not to mention he didn't even go all the way either. Damien didn't get a W until episode 6 and tbh that was his only W. By the end of his tenure, I was left confused on what the point of his run was. (I'll come back to this later.)

-What was the point of Nichelle? Like seriously, what did she contribute to the season at all? They didn't do the ironic underdog story with her, and considering she was getting all egotistical and aggressive, i thought she was gonna be the antagonist for sure...until Julia got rid of her in episode 5 in a way that really shouldn't make sense cuz like Nichelle is an actual celebrity that stars in blockbuster movies, I'm pretty sure she could sniff a fake contract a mile away, right?

-Hockey dudes were great, but I felt like they were very dumbed down at times? Like they were just generic dumb dudes that just meandered around a lot of the time (Wayne in particular just straight up floated away from a challenge at one point)

-Bowie was alright too. His line delivery is great as usual, but let's not kid ourselves: In a well written season, he'd be going straight for Julia the next time his team lost. Bowraj was nice to see even if the season didn't really do a whole lot with it

-Am I the only one who thinks this season is a tad bit misogynistic? Like this is the shortest them phase the show as ever had (to the point where i'd argue teams don't really matter) and 4 of the 5 team phase boots were girls. Millie and Emma in particular were really bad. Like, you could make Millie a team phase boot without like shitting on her that hard. And Emma got like fuck all closure outside of breaking up with Chase off screen like wow, way to utilize such a high potential character, Fresh. And this is saying nothing about how the girls that did make it to the merge had plots basically dominated by romance and like nothing else. And then there's MKulia which is apparently intended to be a friendship but like is written like a romantic one at times. It gives me all-stars gwourtney vibes and (as a fan of gwourtney myself) not in a good way. At least MK and Julia were somewhat in character I guess, but they had their edges really sanded off and honestly as a friendship (situationship?) it's a complete downgrade from Millie and Priya in so many ways

-And another thing: who's the protagonist this season? Outside of Praleb, who am I supposed to care for? Who am I supposed to root for? By the halfway mark, the show doesn't really make any convincing arguments to root for like anyone there outside of maybe Damien? And he went gone in episode 10, so like, hockey dudes? No one has an interesting enough narrative for me to care.

-The immunity idol stinks as usual. Like, why did Damien do THE SAME FUCKING THING HEATHER DID IN ALL-STARS?? That actually pissed me off so much holy shit. The immunity idol as it stands in the show is basically a shitty plot device made to keep characters in as there's no real strategy revolved around it.

-Oh and another minor thing: Owen's cameo sucks, and that's entirely due to him not being physically aged up at all and just being a vehicle for the same dumb jokes they always make with him. so stupid

-Anyways, I spend an entire season with two shitass straight relationships taking up screentime, a whole multiude of potential plotlines from last season (pramien) and this season (scary girl's revenge, millie being the new ripper, damien's comeback, julia having internal conflict over her friendship (feelings?) for MK) being set up and just nothing being done with them, and characters in general just being nerfed or borderline out of character (Ripper) and what am I rewarded with?

-Soar Losers. The most boring nothing finale in the entire show. The choices for finalists suck, Wayne, while being the least bad option for a winner (and i do still like him a lot), is still a mid ass winner in the grand scheme of the entire show. And more praleb drama? fuck off I hate them so much. The challenge did not feel finale worthy at all, and honestly it was the worst challenge in the whole season. On top of being a bunch of nothing, the show decides to bring back the worst trope it ever had: losing hair as karma. I almost ragequit the episode on the spot that shit makes me so irrationally mad. I think it's even worse here because Julia still had hair after the fact, which makes it seem like they were aware it's not a popular TD trope but wanted to half commit to it anyways for the sake of tradition or something. Terrible finale to an already decently sized letdown of a season, but it has some ok MKulia moments I guess. The finale was just emblematic of the entire season, where things just happen and you're just expected to go along with everything. (Also side note how come Chase wasn't the one to jump off of the cart for pizza immediately?)

TL;DR reboot season 2 imo was a step down in every conceivable way from season 1 apart of i guess comedy and it's left a very sour taste in my mouth. I'm probably missing a few points that I'll add onto later but man it feels nice putting my opinion out there.

Race to the Finish - Chapter 1

I feel awareness coming in first, that feeling of waking after a long nap, and the tiredness that comes with that feeling. I gently lift myself up and let a soft groan out as I look around. The room hadn’t changed much since my last lucid period, maybe a few new toys here and there, and that loop-de-loop hot wheels track was definitely new. The room was mostly the same, the same race car bed my other side had picked out, same wild, unkempt toys scattered here and there, again thanks to my other side. 

As I sit I feel the telltale squish of my pull up under my bottom and wince, the night accidents had started soon after catching the virus, even when I was an adult, and I’d still not gotten used to them after…well I didn’t know how many months it’d been at this point. The periods of my other side taking over were there, but kids couldn’t tell time, dates, much of anything, and some things like waiting for mommy- Khris… to get out of a conversation felt like an eternity to a four year old, yet things like daycare seemed to pass in a snap. I slowly pulled myself out of bed, cringing at the feeling between my legs as it squished, and upon looking down cringed again, seeing the childish Paw Patrol PJs I was in. I got up and went to my dresser, one now much bigger than me, though I knew where all the clothes were, starting with underwear I opened the lowest drawer and sighed, digging through, looking for anything without cartoons or cutesy animals, picking a pair that just had Pikachu on them. I had pulled my pants down when I’d heard the sound of the door opening and a blush fell across my face as Khris, my mommy and previous girlfriend walked in, smiling softly. 

“And what are we doing mister?” I let out a sigh as I looked down “Khris… it’s me… I’m just trying to get out of..this” I said, motioning to my well used pull up. Khris seemed a little shocked but kept the smile up “Well, welcome back Stephen, heard ya through the baby monitor and assumed little Stevie was trying to change himself, normally doesn’t end up well as he can have trouble with pants.” She chuckled as I blushed more, my face feeling like it might catch fire at any moment. “W-Well…I’m not him so..c-can you please leave, also where are the wipes?” Khris chuckled again and just walked over, taking them off the top of my dresser and handing them to me before going to walk out. 

“Call me if you need help, I’m just in the living room.” I just blushed more as the door shut, how could she think I need help, it’s just pants and underwear, maybe a shirt if I’m lucky and any of them are less childish. I make quick work of ripping the sides of my pull up and letting it fall to the floor before cleaning myself, something I’d gotten used to before the periods of mental regression had started happening. I slide on the underwear and find a somewhat mature looking pair of shorts before throwing the pull up into the diaper pail near my dresser, though I didn’t need diapers, it kept my room from smelling like stale pee. I walked out and sighed as everything seemed so…big now, everything from a four year olds perspective seemed like it was made for giants. I made my way to the living room where Khris gave me a warm, motherly smile “Good job sweetie! Glad you could get yourself changed after your little nap.” I blushed again “Of course I can, just because…Stevie can’t, doesn’t mean I can’t…” Khris nodded as she looked at me a bit seriously. “Well..this was a longer period under, honestly sweetie, we thought you were permanent this time.” 

I looked annoyed now, probably ‘we’ as in her and her new boyfriend I’d found out about after my last time under. His name was Ty and he honestly wasn’t a bad guy, when I was in my older mindset we could talk about our passion, which was cars. Though we’d gone two very different places with our passion as I’d been a professional stunt and race driver before the virus hit, while Ty was just a mechanic. “Well, I’m back so…of course I can dress myself” I said with a huff 

“Where’s Ty?” I asked, wanting a way to maybe get into a more…adult conversation. Khris sighed a bit, my want to cut the conversation not lost on her “In the garage, the car needed an oil change and he’s getting it done” I nodded and started to head that way, not wanting to lose a second where I could be having a much more…mature conversation than the triumph of being able to put my feet in the right holes without getting lost. I pulled the toddler proof door open, it having one of those over the handle covers to make it near impossible for an actual four year old to open, and made my way into the garage. Ty pulled himself out  from under the car and looked at me “What are you doing out here lil guy?” “I…wanted to see if you needed any help.” Ty looked a bit surprised but then smiled and nodded “Of course I could Stephen, good to see ya back bud, been a minute.” He sat up slowly, having not changed a ton in the time  I’d been under, same long hair tied into a bun, somewhat scruffy but short beard, looked like he’d just gotten out of work as he was still dirty and had the overshirt with his name on it on. 

“So…what do you need me to do?” I asked, unsure how far along the process was “Well, right now could you hand me the wrench on my stool? Getting the oil filter off now.” I smiled and nodded, knowing I’d come in just in time for the start. I grabbed the wrench and quickly handed it to him and he went to slide under as I asked “Do…you need me to help under there?” He stopped and poked back out, a bit of a worried look on his face “Why don’t you stay out here bud, I don’t think you’d be able to get this off being how small you are, and you know how mommy feels about you getting all dirty, especially with oil? She’d have my head and you’d probably have a new daddy” he chuckled as he rolled under and I frowned.

I found myself actually pouting for a second and feeling the urge to stomp my foot, but just barely stopping myself as I said “I can help Ty, I’m not just gonna be a…tool boy. I know cars probably better than you!” I huffed as he sighed from under the car “It’s not about knowledge lil dude, it’s about the fact you’re four now, even if you’re mentally bigger.” I huffed again as I looked around, seeing the new oil sitting near the oil pan and grabbing it “W…Well I wanna put the oil in!” I said, not realizing how childish it sounded at the time as Ty chuckled “Sure bud, you can put the oil in, and in fact, I almost got this off, slide me the oil pan.” I walked over and pushed it towards him with my foot as I held the new oil like it was life or death. 

I heard the telltale thunk as the oil filter fell into the pan and the oil started to pour out with it and Ty slid out, grabbing the new filter and chuckling upon seeing me before sliding back under and waiting. During that waiting period I cooled down a bit, sighing as I realized I’d let my more…childish emotions take over in the moment. Something that wasn’t uncommon when I was aware, though I’d never felt that..close to a tantrum before…it was odd, concerning to say the least. Before long I heard the clicking of the ratchet as he tightened the new filter in place and slid back out, smiling at me as he stood, now towering over me. 

“Lemme grab the stool for ya bud, and the funnel, and then the oil is all yours.” He said, sliding the stool over and helping me onto it before putting the funnel in place and making sure it was secure as I struggled to get the cap off the fresh oil. Ty helped me a bit just to get it started but then let me do it the rest of the way, standing right behind me as I lifted up the fairly large bottle and started to pour it in. I smiled as I felt a form of accomplishment as I watched it go down the funnel, knowing I was doing way more than just handing him tools. 

I helped with the first bottle and then the second and smiled as he put the engine cap on and went to go check how it ran, turning the car on. Though in my excitement of helping I went to hop of the stool, misjudging just how high up it was to my little body, I hopped down and yelped as I landed but quickly tumbled forward and whined as I caught myself on my hands and knees, wincing as I felt the sharp pain I hadn’t felt since childhood of my hands and knees getting skinned, whimpering as I stood back up, feeling my lip trembling and the childish emotions welling up, though I did my best to keep them down as Ty turned off the car and stepped out.

“Good job bud, seems to be running…you okay lil guy?” I just nodded, but my face obviously showed otherwise as he kneeled down and started to check me over “Ooo…looks like you got scraped up pretty good, this is why I told you to wait for me bud, come on, lets get mommy to get you a bandaid.” He went to stand as I looked at him, my already heightened emotions flaring up at being talked down to so easily by the man who took my girlfriend. “I can get my own damn bandaid and I don’t even need em! It was a little fall!” 

Ty seemed taken aback by my sudden outburst and just looked at me “Buddy..it’s okay to-” I cut him off “And stop calling me “Buddy”! I’m not a little kid right now! You don’t need to look down on me like one!” I went to stomp into the house, flinging open the door and stomping towards my room as I saw Khris getting up from the couch. I heard Khris ask “What’s going on” and Ty said something back, I’m sure they were talking about me. I was just too upset to even care as I slammed my bedroom door shut and sat down against it, trying to hold myself together…big kids didn’t cry, adults didn’t cry, and I wouldn’t cry.

I sat there for a while, and after a bit I felt and heard a knock at the door behind me to which I responded with a moody “What” Khris responded “Sweetie…can I come in? I wanna make sure you’re okay…Ty told me you took a pretty good tumble.” I felt the red hot rage boiling back up but scooched away from my door and just muttered a soft “Fine….” Khris slowly walked in and looked at me before kneeling down and frowning “Is everything alright hun? This isn’t like you, even big you….” She sounded worried but I just pulled away “I’m perfectly fine…thanks.”

 She sighed and sat down now, probably knowing she was in for the long haul as she gently took my hand “Honey, I know this is all a lot, and while we’ve had time to adjust, I know you haven’t. If you need to talk to us, you can hun, this has to be a lot, and especially being that we don’t know what’s going on in that little head of yours, we can only help you as much as you let us….” I pulled my hand away and curled up again “I don’t need help, I’ll be fine…” Khris frowned “Sweetie, we both know that’s not true.” I shrugged as I just sat there “My issue, not yours…I’m gonna go shower…get this dirt off me” I said, looking for any escape from her ‘mommy of the year’ act, though as I stood, I noticed something off, specifically around my crotch. I frowned as it felt…cold..clammy, though my shorts looked fine. 

Khris seemed to notice my sudden stop too. “Everything okay sweetie?” She started to even make a move to check me probably as I pulled away and just muttered “I’m fine.” I walked out of the room and towards the bathroom, hearing Khris walking out behind me, but stopping in the hall. I made my way into the bathroom, quickly shutting and locking the door behind me before yanking my shorts down and feeling my undies, feeling the telltale squish of the padded undies, wincing I realized…not only was little me not potty trained yet…seems like that little bout made me have a bit of an accident, and not one that will go unnoticed, as I can’t throw these out like a pull up. 

I sigh and slip my now soggy undies down, that being a problem for post shower Stephen as I pulled off my shirt and going to turn the water on, though struggling heavily to do so from outside the tub, just barely being able to turn the knob to the hot area. I got into the shower after it'd warmed up enough, grimacing at the tub toys hanging from mesh bags on the wall, knowing any other night I’d probably be ecstatic to play with those right now. I turned away from em and started to let the warm water run over me, sighing as I felt the stress seemingly start to melt away already, the dirt washing off my body. Some being from the garage, but most I suspect to be from daycare that day, we’d had an outing to the woods behind the school and I’d been getting into everything.

 I washed my body with a soap bar I could only guess to be Ty’s, not that I really cared, though as it came to my hair I looked around for any shampoo, only finding the kids shampoo left low, making it easier to get me washed during my baths.  I groaned, I was not using THAT, I already probably smell like a kid constantly, I wasn’t going to add onto it. I began to look around for some more mature shampoo, noticing it on a higher shelf and well out of my reach, but easy for any adult to get to and use. 

I huffed a bit, crossing my arms before looking for a way to get it, realizing my only way would be to climb, though I knew it was probably not the best idea, it was better than using that childish smelling gunk. I began by stepping onto the edge of the tub, it wasn’t too slippery so it was easy to make my way around to the shelves, and start to pull myself up. This though, was my worst decision of the night, as when I tried to step up onto the lowest shelf, grabbing a higher one. I didn’t realize just how slippery they’d gotten from the steam and water falling on them. 

It was over before it’d even started as I felt my hand slip first before my foot slipped off the lower shelf, sending my tumbling back towards the tub with a loud thud and a yelp. I winced, not hurt, least not badly, and I’d not hit my head on anything, though I’d fallen on my bottom fairly hard, I was surprised though when I heard the knob to the bathroom rattle, and then the door swung open, I thought I’d locked it….

I looked up as the shower curtain was pulled open and Khris was almost immediately at my side, not worried about the water as she immediately went to check me over. “Stevie, sweetie, are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?” She seemed panicked as she looked me over, but I was mortified. Being completely nude in front of not just her, but I could see Ty behind her, holding a screwdriver and looking concerned. I pushed her hands away from me, blushing as I scrambled back up to my feet. “I’m fine, just…tried to get shampoo and fell.” 

Khris frowned as she heard that “Sweetie, your shampoo is down here, you shouldn’t have to climb for it, you know how dangerous that is.” She said, scolding me like you would a small child which only made my embarrassment rise as I looked at her “I’m not gonna use stuff that’s gonna make me smell more like a toddler!” She looked surprised at me for raising my voice and frowned. “Well it’s what we normally use for you,it’s just oranges, nothing kiddie Stephen, you need to understand you can’t do everything like you used to…” 

She stood and sighed, seeming satisfied with me not being hurt and…maybe even a bit hurt herself? I just went to pull the curtain closed as she seemed to linger for a few more seconds before walking out, shutting the door behind her and I could hear some talking behind the door. I sighed and gave a death glare to the bottle of shampoo with a smiling octopus on it before grabbing it and making quick work of washing my hair, huffing as I washed with the shampoo. It didn’t smell bad at all, though I don’t think I could ever admit that to Khris or Ty at this point. 

I stood for a bit longer after washing and just let the water run over me before turning it off and stepping out, grabbing a towel and drying myself off, if there was one good thing about being this small, it’s that it was much easier to dry myself with just one towel. After drying I went to grab my clothes and noticed something that caused my blush to come right back…there was a fresh pull up sitting on my clothes, the sodden undies nowhere to be found. 

I froze as I stared at it and didn’t know what to do. After a few seconds of hoping this was all a childish hallucination I slowly leaned down and picked up the crinkly garment, blushing as I sighed and slowly opened it up, stepping in and pulling it up, wincing a bit as I felt the plush interior of it hugging my crotch and bottom, before putting my shirt and shorts back on and going to walk out, probably with a bit more of a gate, though I was hoping it wasn’t too noticeable.

Upon walking out I heard the TV on, the local weather being read off as I smelled something being cooked, it smelled like something with tomatoes. I made my way into the living room, finding Ty on the couch who gave me a small nod as I just looked away before making my way to the kitchen, looking up at Khris who was currently over a steaming pot, stirring. 

“Khris..?” I asked quietly “Yes Stephen?” “Where did those undies go..?” She gave me a small, almost annoyed look “Well, normally when Stevie wears those undies and goes in them, he tells me and we get him in a pull up for the rest of the day. I see that part doesn’t transfer over as much as the emotional outbursts do.” I blushed deep red as I looked at her “I…I didn’t mean to, I was gonna tell you but I didn’t even realize it happened, I think it happened when I fell off the stool…” I looked down, feeling like a child who’d just done something very bad. 

Khris sighed a bit and looked down at me “Stephen, believe it or not, you’re not an adult anymore, and you need to accept we’re your legal guardians now. We know how to care for you, and we aren’t gonna make fun of you for anything you’d do normally, Stevie hasn’t mastered the potty yet and I know for a fact that means you haven’t either. You know that as well as I do, so you should’ve told me or let me check when you noticed it in your room” I just stared at her, she’d known the entire time, maybe it was my face, or my reaction? 

I must’ve given the same tell as Stevie… I just stood there as she went back to stirring “Dinner will be done in about ten minutes, why don’t you go watch TV for a bit while I work on it?” I could tell by her tone she was upset, so I just nodded and shuffled my way out and to the couch as Ty looked at me and gave a small chuckle. Though it wasn’t one of laughing at me, more of understanding “Guessing her angry voice isn’t any different from when you were big huh?” I just shook my head quietly as he gently rubbed my back “Look bud, she’s just worried. I know you didn’t mean to blow up on me or her, but you gotta understand, we just want what’s best for you, and if you need help or for us to do something, you need to tell us” 

I nodded slowly but scooched away from the back rubs, sitting back and watching the news, something about a local school doing a fundraiser for something. Though my thoughts weren’t focused on that, they were focused on my outburst from earlier, how childish it was, how close I was to a tantrum. It was odd, almost like I was slipping back into the Stevie mindset for a second there and for some reason it reminded me of a story I’d read early on into the virus’ outbreak. 

It’d been about someone who, like me, was swapping between his adult and child mindset, though he was worse, swapping almost weekly, though that wasn’t the only odd thing about him. After around 3 months of this he suddenly just…stopped swapping, and seemed to level out. He knew all about his life as a chef and having a fair amount of his adult thoughts, though he seemed to also have more childish impulses and seemed like any other three year old. Unless you talked to him about food, then it was closer to a hyperactive toddler. 

I began to wonder if this was what he went through, if he had started off by just having small tantrums here and there, maybe an outburst, then he just…slid down until he leveled out as a toddler. I probably looked lost in thought before I was pulled back out by Khris calling out “Dinner’s ready boys.” Ty stood up and smiled at me as I slowly got up, pushing my worries to the back of my mind for now as I walked into the kitchen, seeing Khris setting my spot. 

 I knew it was mine because of the booster seat covered in stickers that was sitting in the chair in front of the spot that Khris was setting, I shuffled slowly over and mumbled “Can’t I have a normal seat…?” Khris gave me another disapproving mom look, one I didn’t even need the rest of the answer for as I pulled myself up and sat in my booster, looking at the plate in front of me. Spaghetti with cheesy garlic bread, on a…what I believe to be a Bluey plate. 

I slowly grabbed my fork and started to eat as Khris and Ty sat with their own plates and started to eat. Ty seemingly trying to break the tension with a “So…least tomorrow’s Friday right?” Khris gave him a bit of a look as she sighed “Yeah…speaking of, that means you do have to go to daycare tomorrow, okay Stephen?” I looked and frowned “But…I’m in my big mindset…do I really have to” Khris nodded at that “Yes, you do, especially after that fall tonight, I’m not trusting you to be home alone all day, let alone cook your own food” 

I looked, trying to think of an argument…though she had me dead to rights with that, so I looked for another way “Can…Can I atleast be in a bigger kids room?” Khris shook her head “You’re in the oldest room you can be in at this daycare sweetie, and you know it’s not realistic to swap daycares when we don’t know when you might just swap back to Stevie.” I nodded again and looked down at my spaghetti, slowly eating it as I mumble softly “Sorry…I just…don’t want you guys to think I’m still some…needy kid.” Ty looked at me this time “Bud, we know you’re not, but we also recognize you still have physical limitations, you’re not very big, even for a four year old. The doctor was worried you were younger than we’d thought given we couldn’t get ahold of your family, but everything else developmentally pointed to a four year old. We just need you to trust us and let us help you, even if you’re an ‘adult’.” 

I nodded slowly at that and just slowly ate, trying my best to keep myself clean as the two actual adults at the table moved the conversation into talks of weekend plans. After a bit of chatter about something to do with going to the local mall for some new clothes for me, Khris turned to me, seeming in a better mood as she smiled “Hey…why don’t we watch a movie tonight. We’ll even let ya stay up a bit late, as long as you promise you’ll wake up good for us, you can pick the movie too, okay sweetie?” 

I looked up and perked up a bit hearing I got to pick it, there was so many movies that came out while I was little that I’ve not gotten to see yet. It would be hard to pick just one to watch, but I nodded quickly. “Yeah!” I finished up eating and quickly went to climb out of my chair, rushing to the living room as the other two chuckled at my sudden reversion to a childish excitement over a movie. Though I was already flipping through the movies, coming to the horror section with a smile.

I selected a newer movie, Scream 6, it having come out during my last bout of being little. I’d been told no to watching it on more than one occasion, but now I’d surely have free reign of being able to watch it. Khris and Ty finished up their dinners and Khris walked out, looking at me with a soft smile before looking at the TV and giving a bit of a worried grimace. Looking back at me she asked “You wanna watch that tonight?” I nodded quickly and smiled as she gave a small sigh. 

She wasn’t big on horror movies, but often did it for me, and tonight she knew she’d given me the choice, and there was no way to talk me out of it. She nodded as I heard Ty already getting the popcorn out and putting it in the microwave, I decided to try my luck at something else “Can…I have a pop too? I haven’t had one in a while.” Khris looked at me and looked unsure “Sweetie…your little body can’t handle that much sugar, nor the caffeine…but…I’ll think about giving you some. I don’t need you getting a sugar rush before bed.” 

I smirked, it was a small victory, but a victory nonetheless. She stepped back into the kitchen as I got the movie ready. I could feel the excitement welling up in my body, and I even let a small giggle out, but quickly quelled it, knowing it was the childish emotions pushing their way to the surface again. Ty brought out a big bowl of popcorn and set it on the coffee table in front of the couch as Khris brought out drinks, two obviously alcoholic drinks for them, and something in a sippy cup for me. My excitement died down almost immediately upon seeing the childish cup, decorated in Bluey designs, probably came in a set with the plate. 

“Khris…I don’t need a sippy cup, I’m grown right now” She gave me a stern look this time “And I just cleaned the floors yesterday, last thing they need is orange pop staining them” she said as she set the cup in front of me,I couldn’t exactly argue with that, she’d given me the pop I’d wanted, but on her terms so…I guess small victories again? I took the sippy and drank from it, feeling the carbonation sizzling into my mouth and down my throat mixed with the immense sweetness from the pop, something my little body wasn’t used to…but something my little body absolutely loved at the same time, it was like stimulation in a cup.

We started the movie soon after and I watched, entranced as it started with a fake out opening, sipping my pop and eating popcorn by the not so big handful. Khris sat on her phone, not enjoying these movies in the slightest, but Ty seemed just as invested as me, or atleast acting like he was. This continued for roughly an hour, my sippy nearly empty of the sweet soda I’d been given and the popcorn running low already as I began to feel the consequences of my actions. I started feeling that familiar twinge in my bladder, letting me know it was time to go, but being mid movie I didn’t wanna miss anything nor ask for a pause. So I sat and watched, thinking I could easily make it to the end of the movie. 

I started to squirm a bit and that wasn’t lost on my two caretakers as Ty looked over at me “Everything okay? Got ants in your pants?” I glanced back “I’m fine, just, nervous…yeah” I tried to calm my wiggles down though only a few more minutes had passed and that twinge had turned into an urge, causing me to cross my legs as Khris looked at me and in a very mom tone asked “Stephen…do you need to go potty?” I gave her a side eye as she looked at me and just muttered a soft “...No” She sighed a bit as she went to reach for the remote to pause it, just as a small jumpscare popped onto the screen. One of the first in the movie, causing her to let a yelp out and me to jump…though that momentary lapse in control led me to feeling the warmth spreading slowly across the front of my pull up, and my two carers hearing the unmistakable hiss of an accident in progress. I tensed as I realized fully what I was doing, the movie paused as Ty looked at me and let out a soft “Oh buddy…” I whimpered a bit, as Khris quickly got up “Stephen…why didn’t you say anything? We can pause the movie ya know.” I looked down as the hissing stopped and just sat in disbelief at what I’d just done, feeling the warmth sit around my waist “I..I thought I could hold it” 

Khris looked at me “And as I told you earlier, Stevie isn’t fully potty trained, and neither are you, it seems you even less so at this point because at least Stevie tells me when he needs to go.” I winced at the words being flung at me, looking down still as Khris in one swift motion scooped me up and carried me to my room, Ty looking embarrassed for me as I was carried by. I didn’t even fight it at this point, as I was in too much shock to know what to even say or do as Khris set me down and pulled my shorts down, before tearing the sides of my pull up and letting it fall to the floor. 

Grabbing a wipe and warming it with her hands as she looked at me “Stephen, I know you want to be a big boy, but you’re not, you’re four, and right now, you’re even acting like a four year old. You should’ve said something, we’re not gonna get mad or tease you for it, you’re still learning.” She started to clean me as my lip trembled a bit and all I could manage was a shaky “Sorry…” as I tried to fight back the tears welling up inside me. 

The shame of having an accident mixed with my childish emotions and the urge to prove I’m big was all getting to be too much and threatened to spill over, especially with Khris being so upset as she finished cleaning me. She grabbed a fresh pull up and held it open for me as I shakily stepped in, still barely holding it together as I let soft whimpers out. Khris looked up at me and gently pulled me into a hug “Sweetie…I’m not mad…I just wish you’d understand. You’re not that big Stephen the race car driver anymore, you’re Stephen the four year old, you’re learning still and just getting your fresh restart into the world, and you’re not nearly at the level you were.'' 

I looked at her as I felt the tears start to flow and I started to sniffle out “B…But I’ve…I’ve gotta be big, I’ve gotta show everyone I’m old enough s..still I…” I sniffled more as Khris just rubbed my back “Shhh…sweetie, being big isn’t doing everything alone…being big is knowing when you need to ask for help…and knowing when to let yourself take that help, like right now. I don’t see a big boy who can do everything like superman, I see my little boy, who’s had a rough night of trying to be a big boy and needs his mommy for a hug and a kiss” 

I listened to her as my tears grew to be too much as I let out a soft whimper before the water works truly started, starting to openly cry into her shoulder as I felt the tears rush down my cheeks. The loud cries barely muffled by Khris’ body as I heard something, probably Ty in the hall and felt Khris shake her head before I felt myself being lifted again. Letting my emotions flow as I was carried back to the living room, Khris sitting on the couch with me held in her lap, I didn’t care I was in just my pull up and shirt right now. I didn’t care how childish I looked crying into Khris, my emotions and body knew I needed to let this out, and at this point there was no stopping it as I just cried into her.

I don’t know how long it went on, but soon I felt myself calming down, whether it be due to the back rubs, the rocking or my tears finally running out, I wasn’t sure. I felt myself slowly coming back into focus, softly hiccuping and breathing as my powerful emotions subsided in favor of a post cry tiredness. Khris looked down at me in her lap and just gently kissed the top of my head and helped me calm down before softly asking “Do you want to finish your movie?” 

I nodded slowly as I laid on her and she smiled “Okay…we’ll finish it, if you need to potty, you let me know okay? And after it’s bed time.” I just nodded again as Ty started the movie back up, sitting close but not too much so as the movie continued, going on for roughly another hour or so, filled with a few scares and an end scene that filled me with nostalgia for the original movies. I remembered my first time watching the first movie with my brother after he snuck it in the house. How I was hooked from there, through the ‘bad’ and ‘good’ movies, and how for two halloweens I went as a ghostface because I was just that obsessed. I smiled a bit as it slowly came to an end, knowing I’d get a second chance with those memories.

 Though as it ended and the credits rolled, I could feel the tiredness taking over as I rubbed my eyes, it’d been a long day for sure, and the sudden crying hadn’t helped my case of needing to stay up. This didn’t slip past Khris either as I heard her lean whisper to Ty “I’m gonna put him to bed, you pick something” before she slowly lifted me up and carried me to my room once again. This time carrying me to my bed and laying me slowly down, smiling softly. “Alright, it’s time for you to get your rest, you’re already up well past your bedtime, and I’m hoping I don’t regret it tomorrow morning.” 

I just tiredly nodded as she gently tucked me in, smiling as she sat on the edge of my bed, gently combing through my hair with her fingers. “Thank you for being such a big boy tonight and letting that cry out, some ‘big boys’ still don’t know how to do that, like the big lunk on the couch out there.” I let a soft giggle out at that as she leaned down and kissed my forehead “Sleep well Stephen…I’ll wake you up in the morning, if you need anything, you know where our room is.” 

She slowly stood, smiling still as she turned on what looked to be a nightlight, projecting a starry sky onto my ceiling and playing soft, almost twinkling music, next to it she turned on what looked to be a baby monitor before flicking the lights off. “Sweet dreams” She said as she stepped out into the hall, shutting my door and leaving me with only the soft music and the stars gently spinning above my head. I didn’t get to watch them long though, as I felt my eyes start to flutter not even a minute after, the tiredness from the emotional night and the fact my body was used to a certain bedtime made it hard to keep myself awake. I felt myself slowly drifting off as I watched the big dipper silently glide over me, barely letting out a yawn as I felt the inky blackness of sleep take hold.

inspired by @strawberrystepmom and their Pokemon AU with Gojo (Which you can read here ITS SO GOOD!) also this is pretty self indulgent, and the reader is Pokemon Champion of multiple regions kinda like the games)

"Kats-"

"(Y/N) I'm sorry but it's creepy-"

"He's not creepy! He's just a baby!"

Katsuki smirked and crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned against the doorframe of the sliding door leading out into the expansive backyard of your home. He watched as you pouted, even going as far as to stomp your foot down. It was almost cute seeing the Pokemon Champion of Galar, Alola, and Paldea act like a bratty child. His Arcanine slept in the sun while your Luxray slept beside it, its golden fur bristling slightly with the breeze. It was nice to have you back home from your travels, even if you did manage to bring home some questionable new Pokemon.

One of the new additions to your roster was a Pokemon from the Paldea region named Tinkaton. When you gushed over the new Fairy/Steel type you had picked up to him over a late night phone call (that you had called The Hammer), Katsuki had expected a fierce looking Pokemon. What he wasn't expecting was a small pink Pokemon lugging around the biggest hammer he had ever seen in his life. Suddenly the name made sense.

Or the new electric type from Galar named Toxel (which you affectionately named Rockstar). Katsuki's expectations were high; he was expecting a strong looking Poison type with crazy moves. But instead, you came home with a pouty looking baby Pokemon that clung to you and had the audacity to electrocute Katsuki when he got a little too close to you (which is how he also figured out they were electric typings).

But his current argument with you stemmed from the Alola Pokemon you managed to catch. The one who's wearing a makeshift Pikachu outfit and brings a wave of unease to Katsuki's body. The one that had been on your team from Alola to Galar to Paldea, the one he's trying to like just because he sees just how much you care for it. The one who's currently shoving Pokemon food under its costume.

"He's been my partner since Alola," You said, looking down at your Mimikyu with such fondness it made Katsuki crack a soft smile. "Found him in a warehouse thinking he was a Pikachu. Poor thing was starving and wouldn't leave my side when I gave him some berries." Katsuki watched as you crouched down, the Mimikyu slithering immediately towards you. You patted the top of the makeshift costume gently and the Pokemon let out a chipper "Kyu!" in response. "The team really likes him." You said as you scooped the Pokemon into your arms. Katsuki let out a soft chuckle and ran a finger against Mimikyu's costume, a rare smile adorning his lips.

"You look cute with him in your arms like that."

"So are you saying he looks cute?"

"Don't push your luck Princess. He's still weird looking-"

"Kats!"

Proofread: eh sorta

Word count:611

WARNINGS: swearing!reader is mentioned as having a light skinned brother,if that doesn’t make sense like for you then he’s your step brother.also reader is mentioned as dating Chris but it’s not big to the storyline.ok ALSO nick says like “both my brothers”but he just means Chris and Matt😁👍

A/N: been wanting to do sum where Nick is actually a prominent character so here you goooo

𖦹 𖦹

The awkward silence in the video needed to be filled.especially since the topic of conversation, old crushes.“Nick had a crush on my brother”I blurted out.chris and Matt laughing at the comment and its abruptness.it was true though.

I wasn’t surprised when he told me he liked my brother.He was sorta nicks type I suppose.curly hair,lightskin,goes to the gym.he was a ladies man too, always having a girl with him.most of my friends have liked him at some point in time so this news wasn’t shocking.

“Bitch you had a crush on both my brothers”Nick retorted.The claim caused the boys in the front to turn around sharply.

“Wait what?!”Chris asked, shocked.

“I thought you guys knew this.”I said with my face heating up.I could’ve sworn we’ve had this conversation before

“Uhm no we didn’t”Chris,my current boyfriend said, matter of factly.

“I liked Matt in like junior year, and well obviously I like you your my boyfriend”I confessed.I knew Chris wasn’t actually upset.he was just being dramatic for the camera,and probably cause he felt like it too.

“Wait I’m sorry I just processed this, you liked HER brother?!?”Matt was shocked as well.The boy's reaction was insane to me seeing as I thought they were already aware of all of this.

“What's that supposed to mean?”I budded in.my response made Matt laugh.

“Nothing I just didn’t think Julian was his type,like at all”Matt said putting his hands up in his own defense “yes he is hello?”i said back. “You think I don’t know my own brothers type?”matt responded

“You didn’t know I liked y/hc girls”Chris said,proving my point.I gestured toward Chris to show how he was proving my point.

“Ok we’ll in my defense-” Matt began before I cut him off “guys do not believe shit that Matt is saying,nick likes light skin curly head dudes over the age of 18, go hit him uppp!!”i said hyperactively

“WOAH WOAH Y/N.” Nick said loudly as he put his hand over my mouth to silence me.at this point everyone else besides the two of us were dying laughing.

“I’m literally your wingman dude like trust me.''I began “you've been single for way too long”I said as I looked at him.Nick was holding in his laugh like crazy.

“Ok Matt your next, what do you like fuckin Pokémon?” I asked jokingly.not getting a response from Matt.only laughing being heard coming from him as he covered his face. “Ok so Matt wants to fuck Pikachu guys so if your over the age of 18 and look like that than slide into his dm’s ”I continued too joke around.

My laughs were threatening to join everyone else in the car but I had to keep the bit up. “Alright guys so vote me #1 wingman in the world, I’m out” I said as I flicked the sunglasses from the dollar tree down to cover my eyes and stepped out of the car.

“Where is she going?”Chris said weakly.Nick pulled out his phone to record me running away through the open door.Once I felt that I had gone far enough away I scurried back to the car,cold and scared of the dark parking lot.

“That was a bad idea”I said as I sat back down in the car, rubbing my arms roughly for friction and eventually heat.my actions making everyone in the car,including me ,laugh again

Pokemon Horizons Episode 17 Review: Not Getting Along

I liked this episode a lot! A lot happened with a lot of foreshadowing to come for future episodes. There’s a lot Wattrel development as well as Roy and Fuecoco too! I think that having this episode centered Fuecoco and Wattrel was good! I like seeing Pokemon get their time to shine!

The conflict between Wattrel and Fuecoco was briefly shown last episode, so this episode decided to show that the conflict persists. I actually like that these two don’t get along. In the previous anime, we always see Pokemon caught by Ash and his friends getting along with each other instantly after capture, so to see that Wattrel hasn’t gotten along with Fuecoco three episodes after its capture is nice to see. It shows that not everything will work out well in the beginning and that some conflicts take time to be resolved. Wattrel’s issues with Fuecoco is that it invades its personal space a lot. Wattrel likes having its own space. An issue I have with this is that no one realized that Wattrel didn’t like Fuecoco invading its personal space, which was why it got mad at it. Everything gets resolved at the end and Wattrel even joins in on Roy and Fuecoco’s singing. Hopefully, their bond will deepen after this episode.

While the episode revolves around both Pokemon, I feel like it’s more of a Wattrel-focused episode as previous episodes already established Fuecoco as a character. This episode was needed to establish Wattrel more. Wattrel is a bit stubborn and still cannot fly well.  The main antagonist of this episode was the turbulence, giving the literary conflict of man vs nature in effect here. Wattrel’s inability to fly well caused it to struggle a bit, but with the help of Roy, it gained confidence to use the wind to generate electricity and destroy the large branch coming their way. My gripe with this portion of the episode was that the adults clearly told everyone to come inside for shelter but Roy did not move despite being told to do so. I just feel like the way this was executed was a bit weird, but since it was beneficial for Wattrel, I can let it slide just this once.

The battle between Roy’s team and Captain Pikachu was nice to see. I like that the first battle was a disaster due to Fuecoco and Wattrel’s inability to get along, but after the encounter with the turbulence and noting that Wattrel’s electricity gets stronger in the wind, the second battle actually goes a lot better once Roy gets the idea to stack the two Pokemon onto his head for Wattrel to get a higher altitude to generate electricity for Spark. While Roy didn’t win the battle, he, at least, blew off Cap’s hat off of his head. That’s an achievement! I know that if Roy keeps trying, he’ll defeat Captain Pikachu one day!

In regards to other characters, Liko is now a bit shy towards Dot after learning her true identity. She’s even nervous when she and Roy come into Dot’s room for the very first time! Dot is also caring in this episode as she’s the one giving advice to Roy and then watching them from afar to check up on him. It shows that Dot is growing and that the development she got last episode wasn’t one note. The writers are doing a good job with making characterization consistent.

There’s a lot of foreshadowing in this episode. The first one is Orla asking Liko if she is thinking about wanting a new Pokemon. Liko has never thought about getting a second Pokemon until Orla brought it up. Seeing how Roy, Fuecoco and Wattrel are getting along, she’s all for the idea of getting a second Pokemon. There’s a special trailer for the Galar arc that shows that Liko’s second Pokemon is hinted to be Hattena. I was thinking that it would be Galarian Ponyta, but Hattena was my second choice if the former wasn’t going to happen. This will definitely give Liko more development in future episodes. The second foreshadowing is Roy mentioning how Captain Pikachu looked as if it was flying during their battle. This is going to be addressed next episode as it is dedicated to how Friede and Cap met and how the Rising Volt Tacklers came to be. I’m honestly excited for next week’s episode as it is an origin story; I really like origin stories!

One last thing I like to note is that Roy actually uses his Rotom Phone to see what move Wattrel was using. The fact that the characters are relying on their technology and not correctly  guessing what move a Pokemon used is something I liked seeing. In the previous anime, they only use the Pokedex to look up Pokemon entries, so to see a character like Roy use his technological device for advice is a nice touch to the changes in the Pokemon world and how reflective it is to our world.

While there were minor hiccups that I didn’t particularly like, I still enjoyed the brunt of this episode. I hope to see more Pokemon-centered episodes in the future. What did you think about Wattrel and Fuecoco’s conflict? Did you like how it was resolved? Are you all ready for what the Galar arc will bring to the table? Let me know your thoughts!

Is this a good time to ask for Mississippi headcanons? Btw are his eyes white as a style choice or do you actually headcanon they're white?

Oh yeah, it’s fine! It’s more from my Team Spirit AU and to add some cool contrast, as well as an excuse to make Mississippi look cool and to make his eye visible.

Mississippi Headcanons

Mississippi’s State Spirit is a white magnolia flower crown. When his emotions become more intense, more white flowers and branches begin growing from various parts of his body. [#FAF8F2]

Mississippi’s state flower is the southern magnolia, and one of its nicknames is the Magnolia State. 

Mississippi’s fake human name is Mason-Fisher Stephen Patterson.

Mississippi is a looong name for a state. So his fake human name is long too. Many S sounds. He often drops the F in his monogram, so it’d be MPS.

Is really good at ballet, and he likes it quite a lot. As such his body is very flexible and nimble. 

Based on how Jackson, Mississippi is sanctioned to hold the USA International Ballet Competition, only one of four cities.

And if you know anything about male ballet dancers, man’s is jacked.

Although, he’s still quite chubby in the middle no matter how much he works out. Having the highest obesity rate in the country isn’t doing him any favors in that regard. ‘Sippi’s pretty fine with how he looks though.

‘Sippi has a small scrapbook filled with photos and autographs from all the celebrities that were born in his state. He’s got pretty fun stories if you ask.

Mississippi often plays blues music on his slide guitar, especially when he’s feeling down. He’s a very talented musician owing to all the legendary musicians that came from him and the state’s claim of being the Birthplace of America’s Music. 

Mississippi is the birthplace of American blues music starting out as delta blues in its earliest version.

When he’s drunk, he’ll start playing and singing dirty blues songs.

He has an old and worn teddy bear on his bed. Her name is Maggie, and he talks to her when he’s feeling down and doesn’t want to deal with the reactions of other people. Her make is more like older versions of teddy bears with a squarer head, longer snout, and longer limbs.

The hunting trip incident where Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a black bear that was trapped for him happened in Mississippi. That incident inspired the teddy bear, and it’s also the official state toy.

The first teddy bears were made in Brooklyn, New York and Germany around the same time in 1902. The two makers had no relation to each other, although candy shop owner Morris Michtom in New York was the one who was inspired by the story.

Can do a perfect Kermit the Frog impression, and he has the puppet for it too. He can do a lot of various voice impressions, and he also has a light interest in puppets.

Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets, was born in Mississippi.

At this point I might as well just make Mississippi a big plushie enthusiast. He’s the type of guy to have a large pile of a single kind of plushie like for Pikachus, Kirbys, Garfields, etc. But, his hoard is just for catfish plushies (plus one Whiscash). Whether realistic or cutified, or mass produced or handmade, he is enthusiastically collecting them all.

Belzoni, Mississippi is the Catfish Capital of the World. The state is also first in catfish production.

‘Sippi always feels slightly guilty for a moment when he returns to his room after a good meal of fried catfish and sees all his catfish plushies staring at him.

I’m imagining a scene where Mississippi’s room gets barged into by some Southern states (presumably to find something), with ‘Sippi already taking the precaution of stuffing all his catfish in his closet before his colleagues find out about this “unmanly” hobby of his. Cue his closet comedically exploding with catfish plushies when one of the states inevitably opens the door.

Pokéshipping QPR WIP Sneak Peek (with bonus Contestshipping)

“Have you thought about winter break at all?” He slides in across from her as she’s finishing her French onion soup from the league cafeteria. She hasn’t seen him since lunch yesterday— contrary to popular belief, they don’t spend all of their time together— but she knows he talked to his mom last night and Delia is probably already wondering when to expect them.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I figured we’d probably visit your sisters and we need to go spend some time with my mom, but we have nearly eight weeks off. That’s plenty of time to do something else, too.”

She’s not sure when they had decided that they were spending their entire winter vacation together. She’s not sure why he would want to come with her to see her sisters, but she’s not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially if that gift horse means she’ll have someone to help her when she inevitably gets stuck with all of the worst chores.

(She’s also not ready to question the fragile convention of their relationship out loud, but that’s another matter entirely.)

“Let’s go somewhere warm, preferably with a beach,” she offers.

“How did I know that’s what you were going to say?” he laughs. “I kinda wanted to go somewhere with some snow— you know, skiing, hot springs…” Hot springs sound nice enough, but now she’s got the beach on her mind. It occurs to her to suggest that they don’t have to vacation together, but she quickly pushes that thought aside.

“We could always battle for it,” she proposes. “1 v 1. Winner gets to pick.”

When he chooses Charizard and she calls out Starmie, Misty knows that this should be a good match, but then Ash makes the mistake of explaining the stakes to his pokémon and, as it turns out, Charizard would also prefer a beach vacation.

———

Hoenn’s always warm, so she calls May for a recommendation, and it just so happens that there’s a small beach resort near Route 110, an hour and a half northwest of Slateport, that May and Drew want to explore as a potential wedding venue.

May insists on being the one to do the booking, even though she and Drew will only be staying a week, so Misty gives her the three weeks she and Ash had picked out and let’s the Princess of Hoenn do her thing.

———

“When you make it look like you’ve put your entire life online, no one asks about what isn’t there.”

While waiting for her to get into the next dress, Misty pulls up May’s social media and quickly sees what she means. May posts a lot of pictures with friends— candids of Max and selfies with Soledad and spa days with Dawn and baking with Caroline— but Drew only ever appears at the edges of group photos. The story she tells shows all of these people who are main characters in her life and he is clearly secondary at best, if these photos are to be believed.

Of course, that has changed since the engagement announcement. Her most recent posts are photo dumps of the secret she’s kept for the last five years.

It’s enough for Misty to pull up her own profile and try to view it through a stranger’s eyes. There’s lots of water and even more pokémon, as is to be expected, but she also notices that Ash is tagged in over half of her photos, either in the photo itself or as the photographer. She’s never put as much thought into curating her social media as May clearly has, and it’s suddenly crystal clear why the tabloids spend so much time speculating on the nature of the relationship between her and Ash.

Heck, Pikachu is even in her profile photo.

———

“The thing about romance is that it requires romantic intent. Nothing is really inherently romantic,” Soledad explains over lunch.

“For example,” she adds, “when Drew sends May roses, it’s a lovely romantic gesture. When he sends me roses, it’s because he’s a sentimental little shit.”

“Wait,” Misty stops to look at Soledad and she can hear May cackling on her other side. “Drew sends you roses?”

Soledad grins.

“Every Mother’s Day.”

Me: I want to ramble on my blog. If only there was a way.

Me: Wait a second. This is my blog.

Hi, so I'm just going to ramble about my ships in Twisted Wonderland because 1) My blog and 2) I've written two (2) fics for the fandom and thus this has granted me my free "I can talk about the fandom randomly" card. That's how it works, right?

Anyways, here is the current state of my Twisted Wonderland ships. There are different categories because Why Not. Rest is under the cut.

Note: This is just silly fun and if you don't agree with my ships that's fine. It's all fictional anyways.

Ships That I Immediately Shipped No Questions Asked (in order of "THIS IS MY OTP" to "I Really Enjoy This Ship")

Vil/Rook: If someone told me when I first started this game back in January that I'd end up liking Vil, I wouldn't have believed them. On the surface, Vil's character trope is one I dislike. However, I love Vil's determination and work ethic. I firmly believe Vil and Rook are the most synchronized house leader/vice leader combo in the entire game. They're also the kind to be Secretly Disgustingly Romantic. (Epel is appalled.)

Ace/Deuce: I don't really think I need to explain this one. They're the brain cell duo and their interactions/banter are adorable. Also, they're the combo of Dumbass/Dumbass and that's a great ship dynamic.

Trey/Cater: They're basically the parents of the dorm. Though, while I think Cater is the "fun" parent, who allows things to slide, Trey is the "Caring/Worrying" parent. I firmly believe without Trey the dorm would have imploded long, long before Yuu arrived.

Leona/Malleus: It's all about that "one party thinks the other is their enemy/rival and hates them while the other doesn't view it that way" dynamic. Also, the character foil between Leona and Malleus (both princes, both have high expectations thrust upon them, both are talented and gifted, etc.) drives me. Always weak to a good character foil.

Azul/Jade: It's actually hard to decide if I like Azul more with Jade or Floyd. Honestly, I usually shrug and go "OT3 that" but it's complicated with the three of them. Still, I think Azul can have TWO boyfriends and the three agreeing it's not cheating. Merpeople can have different morals/ethics for relationships than humans, right?

Uh anyways, I love how Jade's calm demeanor can counter Azul's secretly Frantic and Panicking Energy. But Jade has enough teasing in him to keep Azul on his toes.

Cute ships that I enjoy (in order of "I'd read a fic about it" to "That's Nice" and read if I enjoyed the premise)

Floyd/Riddle: As soon as I read the one vignette with Floyd basically pigtail pulling Riddle (metaphorically) I knew I'd love it. The teasing and dynamic is super cute. Also "Goldfishie" as a nickname is hilarious.

Jack/Epel: This is a classic "I admire you please help me out to achieve what I want" turned "Oh No my admiration has turned into a crush! Help!" Also, Jack is a Sweet Boy and I want him to be Happy.

Jack/Vil: They're childhood friends. That alone is enough to get me to ship them, but that vignette with Vil scolding Jack for wearing his ceremonial robes incorrectly and proceeding to fix it?? Top Tier.

Leona/Ruggie: I don't have a lot of thought with this one other than "Ruggie keeps teasing and flirting with Leona only to pull a Shocked Pikachu Face when Leona snaps and Does Something About the Flirting".

Silver/Sebek: Another ship I don't have a lot of thoughts other than Sebek pretending he isn't affected by Silver but is Very Much Affected by Silver. Whether Silver is oblivious or just shrugs and accepts Sebek will tell him on his own time is up to you.

Ships that Make me Go "That's Neat" (in order of "I see where you're coming from" to "Interesting.")

Jamil/Kalim: Okay. The most popular Twisted Wonderland ship on AO3 has arrived. Truthfully, I'm very conflicted. On one hand I like it because it's a classic "servant and master" dynamic that fiction enjoys. On the other hand I don't think it works unless they sit down and fully unpack all of the unsaid things before proceeding to work through their emotional baggage together. Otherwise I think it's an insult to Jamil who has some legitimate grievances over Kalim. And it's an insult to Kalim because while he's ignorant, I don't believe he's malicious.

Or you can just write them in an AU without the emotional baggage. That works ahaha.

Leona/Vil: It's another character foil situation here. Only this one is a little more focused on "work ethic" rather than "royalty and talent". The only reason I like Leona/Malleus better is because I'm such a big Vil/Rook shipper.

Idia/Malleus: It's funny because it's "technology WIZARD and genius of his generation" VS. "Man who doesn't understand how a Tamagotchi like device works".

Jamil/Azul: I've seen this pop up and I can see the appeal.

Ships that are 100% Rare (in order of "If I was the kind of person to write a rare pair for TW, I'd write it" to "That's just a funny character combo")

Lilia/Trein: Look. Picture this: young Trein a "Straight A student who if asked "What are you weekend plans?" replies, "Study." in Night Raven College meets Lilia (who I am firmly in the camp "in adult form Lilia has long hair") and has a wild, passionate romance with. One that Trein never, ever forgets but pretends he thinks it's a mistake. Then, years later he meets "young" Lilia acting like his student and he's So Done.

Malleus/Cater: This is a similar idea to Idia only Cater's advantage is "Understands social media and trends" to which Malleus understands none of those things.

Crewel/Vargas: It's an opposite attracts sort of deal, but I'm also perfectly fine with them being unlikely friends. If they're friends I have an entire "Restaurant Staff Think They're an Actual Couple" joke with @m34gs.

Bonus: "But who do YOU ship Yuu with??"

Uh... I don't ship Yuu with anyone, but if I had to pick one (1) character it would be Malleus. Only because I cannot get the joke "Malleus didn't get the memo that this isn't an otome game" out of my brain.

[colourful-void]

Hello again! Today let’s ponder this: do you have any ships you like? If so, talk about them! Why do they spark joy? If not totally cool, shipping isn’t for everyone! Alternate/bonus question- what’s your favorite friendship in Pokémon? I personally love Ash and Pikachu’s friendship, but also the main character and your partner in mystery dungeon games! Or, bonus question, two characters who have the funniest mutual hatred. 

Ah, yes, lots!!

I think it's pretty clear i really like satogou, the dynamic of these kids who just,,, care about each other in this way that slides into romance that they're not used to... its very endearing! I want to show that sort of childish love!

I super super love moonlillie, the princess and her knight! esp with how many different ways moon can be done, its super fun.

recently ive really been liking nemopen, they're very different but they have the sort of vibes that would make them get along well in an odd way if they had more time to talk... it's interesting.

In terms of friendships, my absolute favourite is always the sun and moon class! they care about each other so much i could yell about it forever ahhhhhgmm. Like! every bit of them as a class is just so dedicated to each other and that friendship. in he background and forground it's just. like okay in the necrozma arc intro episode, they have a whole focus on friendship and helping each other with the fairytales and everyone sharing lunch, but even in the background like, you can see lillie taking a turn teaching the class by drawing a diagram of how stone evolution works after kaki took a turn, you can see kaki helping mamane down a ladder iirc they're just. they're sweet and I love them very very much. ]

Battle Frontier Arc Episode 3: A Real Cleffa-Hanger!

So, we have our first filler it seems. We're headed to the battle factory, and Misty is along this time! I somehow missed this episode as a kid.

Quick Daisy cameo, love her. She's so fun-especially in Chronicles, which I recently watched an episode of with friends!

So, we're at the base of Mt. Moon. Max makes sone snide remark to his sister about how EvErYbOdY knows cleffa never reveal themselves to humans. So a cleffa, fueled by spite if I were to assume, reveals itself .5 seconds later. This looks like a classic 'help lost pokemon get home' episode so far. Not bad, but we've seen it many times over. Cleffa comes over and immediately starts playing with the other pokemon (bless corphish, he looks so concerned lmao).

Turns out, Cleffa loves the pokemon but is scared of humans, or at least May who immediately approaches the wild animal. But this is pokemon, where that's a normal and usually safe thing to do, so I'll let it slide. Max makes yet another snide remark about how Cleffa is running from May's scary face and then 'hides' behind Misty. I LOVE THE MISTY AND MAX FRIENDSHIP. SO MUCH. I assume it's youngest sibling solidarity, but I'm the oldest so I wouldn't know. Either way, SUPER fun dynamic I wish we saw more of. Also, cleffa's voice is very noticeably just Misty but whatever.

Team rocket shows up with one of their sucky machines (which. by the way. What's the power of those? Because in this episode it only gets Azurill and Cleffa. but in Who What When Where Wynaut, which yes, I do have entirely memorized thank you for asking, it manages to get all pokemon, all party members plus drew who did not ask to be included in any of this, and it's magikarp shaped, as if that makes it LESS conspicuous. Do they not standardize the sucking power of their machines??? Is it just random every time???? What do you even call units of suckage??? Moving on from this before I make an inevitable suck/blow power joke here.) ANYWAYS. Swellow gets them back, and oh-nevermind, THERE'S the powerful sucking that picks up all of them but not the humans this time. Again, no standardization. Moving on. A single poison tail from Seviper does a lot of damage to pikachu, nonexistent power scaling, hello my old friend, you guys know how this goes. Also, this.

All pokemon get blown out when Jessie accidentally puts it in reverse, this seems to be an incredible waste of time honestly, but we have 20 minutes to fill. AG is so funny with this because some episodes, it's just FULL of crazy/entertaining shit happening (not a moment of spontaneous combusken is dull, for better or worse) and other times they have to call in team rocket to waste time.

TR explodes their own machine, which somehow only blows Max and Misty away???, and there's our plot, I guess. Similar to Who What When Where Wynaut, I assume this episode is going to be 'team members get split up, let's find them'. Except in this case, the split-up team members are actually both somewhat functional human beings who I imagine will NOT fall off of a cliff into a river with an oncoming waterfall, but we'll see.

Oh. nevermind. No waterfall this time, though. Not joking, I pause and write these as I watch the episodes, and I had no idea this would be the very next frame after I unpaused.

Shoutout to Misty's bag, which I would pay a lot of money for to own irl.

We see a clefairy and clefable looking for Cleffa. These two run into Ash, May, and Brock.

Max is such a little shit tbh. He rags on May and Ash for not being the best like no one ever was. I KNOWWWWW he's the annoying little brother but it feels needlessly rude in this episode, honestly. Though, I think it could be that with Misty, he has a place to actually get it all out? Idk, maybe this is just venting but in an eight year old asshole kinda way.

Oh. here we are again. May and Drew have been beat in the 'falling off of a cliff' category, 2 to 1.

We get a sweet little sibling moment with Misty and Max. (Though. Max says may is practically helpless without him, which...whatever helps him sleep at night).

Everybody runs into eachother again, cleffa family included, team rocket shwos up, does their thing, Misty uses bubble and it looks like the cgi from the celebi movie, TR goes away, end of episode. Cleffa and friends use emtronome and somehow all get the same move instead of a tail whip, tackle, draco meteor, stun spore, et cetera. Munchlax also joins, which is fun. I do like that they remembered Munchlax here. Cute, better filler than we get other times but we've also had filler better than this. MIsty and Max are the main draw here, though Max could have been written better.

Pros: Misty and max bonding, and the clefairy guy from gen 1 didn't show up. This guy. Glad to not see him tbh, he irks me.

Cons: ag filler, could have had fun moon stone for skitty????

You know what’s lame and boring? Pitching an Ending of a series to be what I call an Ash Coma Theory. By which, I mean any variation of “Sike! The magical and whimsical adventures of a plucky lil guy is actually because he has BRAIN DAMAGE and nothing is real! Aren’t I clever for figuring that one out?”

This phenomenon, given the TV Tropes listing of Delusion Conclusion, has a tendency to affect Children’s Media more than those with Adults in mind, which I would guess is because 1) Children’s Media tends to be more Fantastic and Strange & 2) More insidiously, people like to punch down on ‘easy targets’, like older kids in their first Edgy Phase marching up to their juniors to tell them how stupid their interests are. People may not be making Ash Coma Theories specifically to burst bubbles, but the more smug and “only way this makes sense” they are about it, the clearer it becomes that they want to lord it over The Masses.

So, an Ash Coma Theory (which from here on I will refer to as ACT), is obviously derived from a rather famous example centred on the protagonist of the Pokémon anime. It’s set right after the part of episode where Pikachu sets off the electrical blast that obliterates everything in the radius — so you can at least see what causes the ‘coma’ pretty easily! The meat of the theory is talking about how Ash’s brain damage and treatments create the bizarre anime world where he never grows up, never wins the tournaments and is always pursued by a weird pair of criminals and their talking cat. Honestly though, as far as ACTs go, there’s a lot more thought put into this one, offering narrative foils and Ash projecting his absent father feelings onto Giovanni, and that he can never become Champion because that would cause the dream to end, etc. I guess my main issue with this famous Creepypasta is that the premise doesn’t fit with the lighthearted, goofy and already wish fulfilment setting that is Pokémon (and the anime in particular is on the lighter, fluffier end of the franchise!) — and this isn’t even a story that explains the Pokémon themselves away, as Pikachu is the instigator!

Instead, I think the ACT would work much better as an Isekai story, where The Protagonist is mowed down by Truck-kun and that causes the lengthy period of Weird Narrative Dreams. For best results, I’d say the 'revelation' should be saved for a few episodes in before flashing back to Protagonist getting run over, then dipping in and out of Reality and Fantasy, showing how one affects the other, but also it obviously having been the plan from the start, not just thrown in to suddenly Plot Twist and gloat about the audience never seeing it coming! Those swerves always feel like a crummy last minute switch, you gotta let the narrative run it’s natural course, even if it means people accurately guess where it’s headed. Besides, there’s still multiple ways to end this Isekai, you have a sliding scale of optimistic or tragic resolutions, but again you have to make sure that the route chosen is one you have built towards in the earlier parts of that tale. (I could put a couple of examples in, but this is getting long lol)

Keep it consistent, even in the weirder sections, and the audience should be left satisfied. Don’t tack on a sudden depressing ending without foreshadowing or that completely jars with the tone and storytelling that’s already been in place!!

So again, most ACTs suck and feel mean spirited as they try to negate something with a lighter tone into something depressing and/or extremely boring. And if you’re going to say “yeah this makes the most sense” when you’ve just proposed that [Character] is about to die and the wacky shenanigans were their extended fantasy sequence to deny reality, I will lose every shred of respect I may have had of you as a writer. Why on Earth should I hear out your ideas when this is how you’d end them?!

#There are also the Sister Theories of Post Nuclear Event and the Drugs Narrtive #they have similars ups and downs to this but the ACT still keeps trying to creep in to Kid Shows in my experience #so I saw a terrible take about the THomas & Friends TV Show today...! #The amount of people sounding interested made me wanna ctapault them all into the Ourdoors so they can Touch that Grass I can tell you!

(Over) Analyzing Pokemon Hints (4)

This post will look different to how I started posting these analysis posts. This was how I wanted to do them. When I first started there was more of a focus on Halloween, and at that time I had a cold so I wasn’t really able to keep up with things that well. If these get too long I'll probably do a brief summary thing at the bottom.

So now the posts will be much longer unless it’s a slow week. Because my last post was on Friday, this one will start with Saturday.

On Saturday- Pokemon GO got a Mega Garchomp Raid Day. I’m assuming this is probably just an event for Mega Garchomp, but if it does mean anything it could be foreshadowing to a Trainer with a Garchomp that can Mega Evolve in the Indigo Disk DLC, or possibly in the games that will be coming out next year.

A bit of a side note, the US Pokemon Twitter account did share a gif of a Garchomp Mega evolving. This was probably posted because of the GO event, but could still be foreshadowing.

I am now terrified we’re going to walk into the wrong classroom and Cynthia is going to jumpscare us with an unescapable battle. The Pokemon Masters EX Twitter account has a post featuring Cynthia, Lyra, and Ryuki. This could be foreshadowing some interesting stuff. -Ryuki is Alder’s grandson. So maybe foreshadowing something with Unova, whether that’s the Indigo Disk DLC or next year’s games?

-Cynthia is wearing her Kommo-O Sygna Suit. The reason I find this interesting is because the only time we see her use a Kommo-O in the anime was in the PLA special.

-Lyra is from the Johto games, so a possible hint to Johto remakes? It’s just a post relating to Ryuki’s event, but it’s still interesting they chose to feature Cynthia.

US Pokemon Twitter is also still posting pictures of Wooper and Quagsire, though today it was Paldean Wooper and Clodsire. On Sunday- A new battle mode for Pokemon Masters EX was announced, Ultimate Battles. This features Anabel and her Entei. I find this interesting for a few reasons-

Anabel is from the Hoenn Battle Frontier. I don’t think this means we’ll be getting Hoenn remakes soon, but if this means anything we could be getting the Battle Frontier again if we’re getting Johto remakes next year. Or it could be hinting a Battle Frontier mode, which would be really fun. Anabel is a Faller, so maybe this could be a hint to a story-line with Ingo reuniting with Emmet (even though it hasn’t actually been confirmed Ingo is a Faller). Maybe there will be an event in the Indigo Disk DLC with Anabel relating to this? This could be a hint to getting a Paradox Entei event soon. As of right now I don’t think one has been announced. But if there is going to be one that will probably be announced in the Pokemon Presents next year. This could also be hinting towards Johto remakes as Entei is from Johto.

Definitely over analyzing this. But it is interesting they chose Anabel instead of someone else with a Legendary Pokemon, like Cynthia with her Giratina. Also, the US Pokemon Twitter account posted a gif of a Wooper sliding down a pipe. I believe this is a scene from the Pikachu and Pichu Bros short that came with the Enter the Unown Pokemon movie. This could mean a few things: More Wooper, which we will be able to catch in the Indigo Disk DLC. Enter the Unown takes place in Johto, so possibly a Johto remake hint. The main Legendary of Enter the Unown is an Entei. So possibly another Paradox Entei hint. It’s probably just hinting at a trailer for the Indigo Disk DLC because of the Wooper. On Monday

SO many Eevee events announced! In Pokemon Sleep, starting on the 20th will be Eevee week.

There will be Eevee Mass Outbreaks in Scarlet and Violet from the 17th – 20th. There will be a 7 Star Tera Raid for a Mightiest Mark Eevee, also from the 17th – 20th. It will have the Normal Tera type. The 17th is a Friday, and the 20th is a Monday. 7 Star Tera Raids usually run from Fridays to Sundays. Ending on a Monday is interesting.

The 17th is also about a year since Scarlet and Violet were released. I don’t know if that’s related, but it’s interesting these Eevee events are happening almost exactly a year later. The Pokemon Masters EX Twitter page has highlighted Penny’s soundtrack. She is an Eeveelution Trainer, so possibly another hint.

On Tuesday In Asia Pacific, Pokemon GO has started Fashion week with Dragonite and a Wooper. I won’t really analyze what the Wooper and Quagsire’s hats mean, but it’s still more Wooper and Quagsire.

The Pokemon Masters EX Twitter account is still promoting Penny’s event. So still lots of Eevee promotion. Also specifically posting images with characters from Black and White 2. There is also a post of Eevee Trainers gathering on Pasio. This image specifically having two Eevee.

The UK and US Pokemon Twitter accounts have posted a promo image for the Indigo Disk DLC featuring the Kalos starters. This is most likely just what it is, Indigo Disk promo with the Kalos starters. But it could also mean there will be some sort of connection to Kalos. Something smaller like a Kalos Gym Leader or Elite Four member making an appearance, to something much bigger, such as finally resolving any unfinished plotlines. I’m not sure what these would be, and I don’t know why they would be included now, ten years later. If it is some sort of Kalos remake hint, it’s most likely a hint to the Kalos remakes are just starting to be worked on. If this is true, we will know in a few years, because the Johto and/or Unova remakes they’ve been hinting at will probably be released first.

The trailer for Pokemon Concierge and it showed a Dragonite quite often. Dragonite has been promoted a good amount recently, so maybe this is a hint to something like a Paradox Dragonite? Today, on Wednesday

A few announcements from Pokemon Masters EX: On the 17th, we will be getting the Let’s Go in Search of Wonder event and will be getting the Sync Pairs Elaine & Eevee, and PokeKid Eve & Eevee. Also, on the 21st, there will be a special Eevee event focusing on the Eevee Sync Pairs and we will be getting Elio & Espeon and Selene & Umbreon.

The 21st is a Tuesday. Big announcements usually come on Wednesdays. If we are getting an Eeveelution it will probably be announced on Wednesday. In the UK there will be pop-up stands where you can send special cards to another person. This is adorable, and the two Pokemon they feature are Pikachu and Eevee.

Yeah I’m thinking they’re heavily hinting we’re getting at least one new Eeveelution. I kind of doubt they would go with a Paradox Eeveelution for one game, but not the other. There could be version exclusive evolutions, like they did that for Charcadet. Paradox Eeveelutions are possible, but I’m not sure. I feel like they would only exist in the Scarlet and Violet games because the Paradox Pokemon probably won’t appear much in other regions. Having a Paldea-locked Eeveelution wouldn’t be fun.

Also, just remembered… If you go into Nemona’s house, there is a painting featuring two Eevee. If this does mean anything, I’m hoping it means there will be two Eeveelutions.

That should be it for this week, but knowing how these posts have been going there will probably be a 4.5 in the near future.

Gym #7: Tulip, the Bewitching Beautician

Here I am in Alfornada with a randomly selected team of Pokemon. Let's challenge Tulip!

This time, the team that's been selected is as follows:

Sandaconda (Sand Spit) w/ Smooth Rock - Earthquake, Headbutt, Glare, Stealth Rock. Leading with Sandaconda so we can get a Stealth Rock out there early. We're going up against Psychics, so we should probably anticipate Special attacks moreso than Physical; With this in mind, I doubt Sand Spit will be particularly relevant. His Earthquake can do some damage, though.

Jumpluff (Chlorophyll) w/ Heat Rock - Solar Beam, Acrobatics, Sleep Powder, Sunny Day. Following Sandaconda and Lycanroc will be Jumpluff, whose Sunny Day/Solar Beam combo can clear any harmful effects from Sand Spit.

Lycanroc Dusk Form (Tough Claws) w/ Assault Vest - Rock Slide, Play Rough, Fire Fang, Psychic Fangs. Third in line is Lycanroc, who's built for full aggro. Lycanroc may come second or third, depending on the situation. Between Assault Vest and Rock's Sandstorm bonus, she can get a significant Special Defense buff if Jumpluff hasn't changed the weather yet. But her Fire Fangs can also get a boost from a lingering Sunny Day.

Gallade (Sharpness) w/ Shell Bell - Psycho Cut, Sacred Sword, Night Slash, Swords Dance. I know, right?! 1 in 186 odds, this guy returns for another round. And once again, he is not well matched. At least his Psychic resistance offsets his Fighting weakness to Psychic, so he hopefully won't get rolled in one attack like he did at Ryme's Gym. His Sharpness-buffed Night Slash could even do some damage.

Dedenne (Pickup) w/ Magnet - Thunderbolt, Parabolic Charge, Volt Switch, Thunder Wave. So, yeah, this is basically Pachirisu again. Same build, different rat. These things happen when you release a new Pikachu every gen. But it's not as good of a rat, sadly, since Dedenne can't learn Encore. Hopefully having the vampiric Parabolic Charge will make up for it.

Swalot (Sticky Hold) w/ Rocky Helmet - Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball, Toxic, Gastro Acid. Swalot is going to hit the field and die immediately. He's weak to Psychic and, for a defensive-based Pokemon, 83 isn't a lot of Special Defense. I've given him Shadow Ball to try and slug it out, and he has Rocky Helmet in the rare chance that someone tries to swing physically at him. But he's basically here as a spectator. I have no illusions about his chances.

Before we can challenge the Gym, it appears Nemona would like to battle.

Nemona Pokemon #1: Lycanroc (Midday Form)

This is a very advantageous match-up. Lycanroc's a Physical blitzer. High Speed and Physical Attack offset by subpar Defenses and only decent HP. And he's weak to Ground. The way I see it, he'll probably move first, trigger Sand Spit, and then get immediately ganked by Earthquake before he has a chance to benefit from the Rock Special Defense buff. Let's see if that plays out.

Lycanroc uses Crunch, scoring a critical hit that takes off about 1/4 of Sandaconda's HP and triggering Sand Spit. Sandaconda replies with Earthquake, one-shotting Lycanroc.

Wow, I didn't actually expect that to go exactly according to plan. What a rare and special moment.

Nemona Pokemon #2: Sliggoo

This is a wrench thrown in my works. Sliggoo is a monotype Dragon with okay stats, apart from a very high Special Defense. That wouldn't seem like too much of a complication, but Sandaconda is actually in quite a lot of peril right now, as is the entire strategy.

See, Sliggoo came up on the random team that got me to Alfornada, so I've spent some time with one of these recently. And I remember that while they're monotype Dragon, they're also fond of Water attacks. She's probably going to clear my Sandstorm on the first turn with Rain Dance, then start hurling buffed Water Pulses my way.

If that's the case, then I'm probably safe to spend a turn on Glare. Let's try that.

To my surprise, Sandaconda outpaces Sliggoo and lands the Glare. To my further surprise, Sliggoo just uses a Dragon Pulse and knocks off another 1/3 or so of Sandaconda's HP.

Alright. I was going to switch, but if I get the first move then let's be risky. Stealth Rock for a parting shot. I should have set that up when I was fighting Lycanroc.

Unfortunately, the Paralysis fails to stop Sliggoo from one more Dragon Pulse, knocking out Sandaconda.

Nemona Pokemon #2: Sliggoo, Round 2

Choices have to be made here between Jumpluff and Lycanroc. And the obvious answer is Lycanroc. Sliggoo pays for her very high Special Defense with dismal HP and Physical Defense, and Lycanroc knows the Fairy-Type Play Rough. She's going to hit the field and rip through Sliggoo like a hot knife through butter.

Lycanroc moves first and mercs Sliggoo instantly. Next!

Nemona Pokemon #3: Pawmot

Now would be a really good time to still have Sandaconda around, but we'll have to make do. I was really miffed last time we fought Nemona, because she hadn't evolved Pawmo even though there was no level requirement. Glad to see she's corrected that.

Pawmot is an Electric/Fighting type with either Volt Absorb or Natural Cure. We'll assume Volt Absorb, since it's the only one that affects our thinking. He's another Physical blitzer; Hits fast and strong but can't take very many punches.

Lycanroc has 200% Special Defense right now but a strong Fighting punch from Pawmot is going to tear her apart. At the same time, Play Rough will eat Pawmot alive. We're looking at a quick-draw duel. Whoever moves first will immediately obliterate the other. Do I want to commit to that?

Pawmot's 105 Speed to Lycanroc's 110. IV/EV balance will make all the difference here.

Okay. Let's roll those dice.

...

Quick-draw goes to Lycanroc! Play Rough oneshots Pawmot!

Nemona Pokemon #4: Meowscarada

This asshole. I remember this asshole. He's about to start throwing Terastalized Flower Tricks at me for auto-crits. He'll also lose his Dark Type when he Terastilizes, so I can't count on Play Rough here. Fortunately, Lycanroc has Fire Fang.

But his Speed is insane. Base 123 to Lycanroc's 110. I can't count on throwing the first punch this time, and a direct hit from Flower Trick will probably one-shot Lycanroc. But if I switch, whoever I switch to will have a harder time outlasting the auto-crit barrage.

Alright. I think I need to let this happen. Let's try for a Fire Fang.

As expected, Meowscarada gets the first move and trashes Lycanroc with Flower Trick. Then he takes a big hit off that Sandstorm.

Nemona Pokemon #4: Meowscarada, Round 2

Y'know, I just thought of something. Flower Trick ignores Attack debuffs and Defense buffs, but do you know what it doesn't ignore? The Type Chart. Swalot's built for strong defenses and has Type Advantage. Let's give him a try.

Swalot enters the field. Meowscarada doesn't even try the Flower Trick and goes for Slash, hurting himself on the Rocky Helmet. Swalot responds with Toxic. The Sandstorm, Helmet, and Toxic all conspire to bring Meowscarada down to 50%.

This is over. Meowscarada injures himself with another Slash against Rocky Helmet. Swalot answers with Sludge Bomb for that final bit of damage. Terastilized Meowscarada, who put us through so much trouble last time, goes down hard!

It's over!

HAHAHAHAHAHA And it's all thanks to Swalot! I guess he's not just a spectator after all! Man, I should send Nemona a gift basket for making Swalot feel useful right before the big Gym that he's basically benchwarming for.

Well, onwards to the main event.

Tulip Pokemon #1: Farigiraf

Oh! Wow, I am glad I spent time between Gyms 5 and 6 evolving a lot of my Pokemon. I actually have records on this weirdo evolution to Girafarig.

Farigiraf's main benefit from his evolution is a huge boost to his HP and a pair of new Abilities. His Attack stats also went up. But he paid for the huge HP boost with his Speed actually dropping significantly.

He either has Cud Chew, letting him reuse a Berry a second time. Or, more likely, we're looking at Armor Tail: Immunity to attacks with increased Priority. I don't think either will really affect our plans.

Thanks to that Speed downgrade, I don't think I need to paralyze him. Let's just get Stealth Rock up and going.

I prove correct. Sandaconda gets the first move. Farigiraf delivers a Zen Headbutt, setting off Sand Spit. The Zen Headbutt only does about twice as much damage as the first Sandstorm hit to Farigiraf.

Alright, we've seen what he's made of. Let's waste this guy. Two Earthquakes and one Zen Headbutt later, Farigiraf goes down, while Sandaconda's hanging on at 60%.

Tulip Pokemon #2: Gardevoir

Gardevoir enters and takes a hit off of Stealth Rock. She does not Trace Sand Spit, which means she has Synchronize. If we Paralyze her, she'll Paralyze Sandaconda right back.

Her stats are his inverted. Sandaconda's a powerful Physical slugger but weak to Special, while Gardevoir's a powerful Special slugger but weak to Physical. She has a base Speed of 80 to Sandaconda's 71, so she probably gets Speed advantage but Sandaconda just might get it.

If I Glare at her, she will Glare back. If I hit her with an Earthquake, it will be a quick draw to see who crushes who first.

Alright, let's roll those dice again. Earthquake!

This time, the dice land in the opponent's court. Gardevoir hits Sandaconda with Energy Ball, finishing him off.

Tulip Pokemon #2: Gardevoir, Round Two

Lycanroc's weak to Energy Ball, but between Assault Vest and Sandstorm, that weakness is cancelled out by 200% Special Defense. With 110 base Speed, she should also be much faster than Gardevoir. Let's blitz this jerk

Lycanroc lands and slams Play Rough straight into Gardevoir. She's not weak to it, but with Lycanroc's Tough Claws boosting it, it's about 5 Power stronger than her STAB Rock Slide.

But it's not quite enough to do the job. Lycanroc knocks Gardevoir down to 10%. She answers with Energy Ball; However, it only succeeds in bringing Lycanroc down by 30%. Weakness: Cancelled. One more Play Rough later and Gardevoir is down for the count.

Tulip Pokemon #3: Espathra

Espathra's going to give Lycanroc a run for her money in Speed. 105 to 110 means it's anybody's guess who hits first. She's a Special blitzer, hitting fast with Special attacks but suffering from low Defenses and okay HP.

She's a Special blitzer, and that Sandstorm's still raging.(Thank you, Smooth Rock!) Lycanroc wins the Speed contest and moves in with Play Rough, knocking off 80%. Espathra counters with Psychic; However, at 200% Special Defense, Lycanroc only takes about 30%.

Another Play Rough puts down Espathra. Now we enter Endgame.

Tulip Pokemon #4: Florges

Interesting. When not Terastilized, Florges is a monotype Fairy with a strong Grass moveset. I wouldn't have pegged her to have much Psychic stuff on offer.

She's also a powerhouse. With a combined stat total of 552, Florges is a beast. None of my Pokemon even compare to her in sheer power; The strongest is Gallade with a combined total of 518. In terms of stats, this is a boss fight.

The brunt of that power is in her absolutely phenomenal Special Defense, at a whopping 154. From there, she also has a fairly high Special Attack combined with decent Speed and HP. As with the others, Physical Attack and Defense make up her dump stats.

She has fairly high Special Attack and my Sandstorm finally ended. This might be the end for Lycanroc. (Also she has Flower Veil, but that basically has no effect on this fight. It only shields Grass types from debuffs.)

Alright. Her Speed can't compare with Lycanroc's so we can put in some damage before we go down. Lycanroc swept 1/2 of this battle. There's no shame in losing here.

Florges Terastilizes and immediately takes a Play Rough to the face for 50% of her HP. Florges puts Lycanroc down with Moonblast, but she's hurt bad.

Tulip Pokemon #4, Round 2

Moonblast, huh? Alright. What we need right now is someone who can hit the ground running and slice off that last 50%. No tricks, just Physical blitz.

Gallade has 80 base Speed to Florges's 75. Her Moonblast will nuke him, but his Night Slash will do the same to her. He got oneshotted by Houndstone before he ever even got to do anything last time. This will be his moment of glorious redemption or eternal shame!

Gallade hits the field, dashes in before Florges knows what hit her, and Night Slashes through! It's good! Psychic Florges is defeated!

It's Over!

You know, I'm actually a little disappointed that Gallade didn't biff it. I was going to be super mean about it. "Gallade hits the field, takes a Moonblast straight to the face, and wipes out on the floor! You suck forever, Gallade!"

But no. Gallade swooped in like a gallant hero and saved the day, totally redeeming himself for getting merced by a Phantom Force that wasn't even aimed at him last Gym. He didn't have to do much; Lycanroc was total MVP here. But he didn't screw it up.

This went really well. Sandaconda Sand Spit to Lycanroc really carried this match. I didn't even need to use Dedenne or Jumpluff, which is probably for the best since they're Special Attackers and Psychics have strong Defenses against that. And Swalot got to do some nice spectating while riding that high of kicking Nemona's ass.

What a great day.

Red's Journal - Entry 9/20

I woke up with a song stuck in my head. These last few weeks have been uncharacteristically musical. I don't listen to music much, really: Why fill my ears with instrumentation when the sound of snow can soothe my soul? (That was flowery, even by my standards. But at least I’m being honest.)

The next Johto Conference planning meeting happened today. I pitched the idea of showcasing high-tier battling during the Conference by sending a one-page report on the matter to Lance, who read it to the rest of the meeting. I'm not going to transcribe my report here, as it wasn't very exciting: It was just a reasoned argument in favor of more "guest of honor" screen-time, including opening the Conference with a large-scale battle between two beloved Champions (TBD). Everyone was either amicable towards or excited by the prospect, so I'm calling this one a win.

Allow me to mope for a moment. My executive function has been abysmal lately. Last night it took me an hour to reach my bed because I couldn't leave my couch. I can't find anything in my fridge that I want to eat, let alone prepare. Previously I discussed my mother's demands of Pikachu - that he force me to drink more water - and I think my other friends are catching on. This morning at 1:00 PM I sent Espeon out to practice Psychic and he just swished his tail. I'd never seen him so unwilling to move at my command. I tried signing a "P" against my temples again and he just walked back to the sliding screen door, pawed it preciously, and locked me in a knowing gaze. Only once we'd returned to the kitchen together did I hear my stomach growl. My Pokémon recognize how much I've been hyperfocusing on fulfilling these Conference dreams - and I'm grateful that they're unwilling to see me wither away. It's just difficult to accept that I lack their grace.

I have a lighter note on which I wish to end. Yesterday, when I called my mother, we discussed my plans to return to Pallet Town in October. We had originally scheduled this trip because the freedom of our respective schedules overlapped at that time, so we decided to make use of it, despite the obvious weather-based challenges that late October brings. We also discussed yesterday my mother's recent interest in Unova. She had previously asked me to draft a prospective itinerary of attractions for her in case she ever traveled that way. Well, it seems she had these dots connected all along: She wishes for me to travel with her to Unova in October. She wants to see the city during a non-peak season, one in which the air is cold yet the lights are as bright as ever, and it would warm her heart if we could see them together. I can't say no - but this places extra urgency on my Unovan itinerary planning, as I'll be by her side through it all. I'll stop myself there, but rest assured I will spend the rest of the evening doing my research. A pleasure trip to Castelia sounds marvelous to me. . .

I shall now prepare dinner and settle into my sheets for some Unovan daydreaming. And I'd like to thank my mom - and all who love me - for giving me so much to look forward to. May my dreams be as bright as my future.
