// genshin men as podcast hosts //
i don't have anything to say for myself i just thought this was really funny LMAO suddenly thought about this in the shower like a week ago nd i couldn't stop giggling to myself ( ´艸`) cw: crack, wrote this with a modern au in mind (unless there's podcasts in teyvat.......) includes: alhaitham, ayato, pantalone, tartaglia, kaeya, albedo, cyno, heizou, lyney, venti, dottore, itto, kaveh, kazuha, wriothesley
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the satirical Chad Alpha Sigma Male ↳alhaitham, ayato, pantalone, tartaglia, kaeya
Whether they’re giving ridiculous financial advice, telling people how to get women to like them or spouting absurd political takes, they somehow have a loyal fanbase. They’re always playing up the Sigma Male persona for the sake of satire but, because this is the internet, people take them seriously.
They'll say something nonsensical like “you should treat women like you treat your nonstick frying pans” and their listeners will eat it up, praising them for such a smart analogy when, in reality, their podcast setup consists of their laptop and a mic set up at their kitchen table and they just laid eyes on a skillet while they were rambling about nothing in particular. Doesn’t matter how they speak either; they could have a typical, exaggerated youtuber accent or always speak in a deadpan tone- people will still take what they say at face value and miss the irony and satire.
Seeing people argue online entertains them, though. Plus they make good money
the one that always has homoerotic tension with their guests (no homo tho) ↳albedo, cyno, heizou, lyney, venti
Their podcast isn’t organized, they kind of just ramble about whatever topic comes to mind. There’s no theme, no plan when they start recording- they basically just have a conversation with whoever they’re recording with and see where it goes. Sometimes they could be cracking jokes about the corniest things (___er? i hardly know her!) or they’ll be having deep conversations about their childhood and why they turned out this way.
OR. They’ll chat with their guest and turn what they say into a dumb sex joke, even if it’s a stretch. Podcast episodes with them are always hilarious to listen to, the kind that you can’t listen to in public because you’ll end up holding in your laughter and making yourself look like a Fool.
They have the best vibes, too; listening to them and their guest makes you feel like you’re a part of the recording session, even if you can’t respond to them 
has THE most outlandish storytimes ↳ dottore, itto, kaveh, kazuha, wriothesley
Every single podcast episode with them is absolutely unhinged. They’ll start the recording with their intro, and then they’ll hit you with the most insane storytime opener. There’s no line to cross either; it doesn’t matter what kind of story they have in store, they will talk about it (and make it funny, even if it might not be). One time when they uploaded one of their podcast episodes to YouTube it ended up getting age-restricted in the first five minutes.
They’re the kind of host that can captivate anyone when they’re telling a story, whether they’re speaking in an extremely animated manner or in a convincingly serious tone. Whenever they have special guests over, they make it an unspoken challenge to one-up eachother on who has the craziest story to tell (most of the time they’re the winner).
Their podcast is the kind of thing you listen to while you’re getting ready in the morning... though it might not be the best idea because 9 times out of 10, you stop in your tracks to stare at your laptop screen in disbelief to listen to them talk about the time they accidentally set off the fire alarm in a retirement home and what happened in consequence to that

Fellas, is it gay to give your bestie your family heirloom when they get scared of a meteor shower as kids and hold up a wooden sword and swear you'll always protect them? Is it gay to be overcome with feelings of jealousy when said best friend starts hanging out with a girl? Is it gay to joke about sharing a magical fruit with him that means your destinies will be intertwined? Is it gay to open the door to darkness when he draws a picture of himself sharing THAT SAME fruit with the girl you're jealous of? Is it gay to realize that you fucked up and sacrifice yourself to save your best friend and the girl he likes because you know it's more important that he's happy? Is it gay to spend an entire YEAR watching over your comatose best friend while his memories get repaired, and say multiple times "everything is for Sora"? Is it gay to see someone who, for some reason, appears to look like your best friend (xion) and stroke their face? Is it gay to give up your form and take the body of the person who manipulated you into falling to darkness in the first place to help your best friend wake up? Is it gay to avoid him even when he looks for you, saying "there were some things [riku] couldn't tell sora. it had always been that way" in a VERY closeted-gay manner? Is it gay to have your best friend fall to his knees when he FINALLY finds you and cries "i looked for you! i looked everywhere for you!" after he just shared a very awkward hug with the girl he supposedly likes? Is it gay to throw yourself in the way of a devastating blow, earning yourself a scar and probably chronic pain in the process? Is it gay to sit with your best friend in LITERAL HELL and say you'd be fine there as long as you're together? Is it gay to UNCONSCIOUSLY CHANGE YOUR ENTIRE SPECIES to protect your best friend in his dreams? Is it gay to have a conversation with Hunchback of Notre Dame characters about "having to keep things from the outside world, at least until you have time to figure them out" (THIS IS A METAPHOR FOR BEING IN THE CLOSET)? Is it gay to have your combined hearts' song be called "dearly beloved"? Is it gay to think of your best friend as your light? Is it gay to parallel LITERALLY EVERY DISNEY COUPLE UNDER THE SUN? Is it gay to refer to your best friend as your "taisetsu na hito" (roughly translates to "precious/ cherished person" or "person I love most") and say that your "doubts and fears are gone" and your adoptive father (michael mouse. dont ask) tells you "perhaps it's because you've finally found that special strength to protect the things that matter (the JP line is taisetsu na hito; the english translators made it very no-homo)"? Is it gay to sacrifice yourself again for your best friend? Is it gay to call out your best friend's name when you're about to collapse and see him FALLING FROM THE SKY and stare at him with the BIGGEST HEART-EYES EVER? Is it gay to have your souls form a giant rainbow-colored sword with a giant heart at the top? Is it gay to care so much for your best friend that you let him go save the girl (who's dead now oops) that you still think he likes because you're too oblivious to realize that HE LOVES YOU BACK IDIOT? (tbf tho neither of them realize it; sora's goin thru some major comphet)
Is it gay to have SO MUCH gay subtext that someone can make a 6-hour video essay about why you're homosexual?

Different love
Tumblr media
Luffy x Male! Reader (Fits for trans males too)
⛔️MINORS DO NOT INTERACT, YOU’LL BE BLOCKED⛔️
Cw: Mention of christian family(Reader), homo in denial, just a homo confession.
_•*•_
This wasn’t possible.
Neither correct.
How did this even happened?
A lot of questions ran over your head the last days.
You were a straw hat, you joined after Luffy, your handsome captain, saved your village from a strong crew of pirates, it was normal to be so devoted to him..Right? But something felt off; at start you thought you were just too thankful for Luffy saving the ones you loved and taking you like his new nakama, but with the time you realized it wasn’t that easy. Every time he smiled at you when you arrived the kitchen to eat with the crew, when he stretched his rubber arms to you and hug you tightly after being lost on the new island you guys arrived to, every little smile he gave you..Everything made your heart pound strongly on your chest; your cheeks heat up and your pressure raise.
But no.
It couldn’t be.
You liked women, it was always like that, or at least that was what your parents told you when you were little, men with women-women with men.
This was a sin, but you couldn’t help but think that if you had to choose between heaven and kissing him, you could burn in hell with happiness on your face.
There was a problem tho. He never liked no one. The most beautiful woman in the Grand Line, Boa Hancock, was head over heels for him and he just dared to leave her hanging as he did with every beautiful woman on the seas. What got you sure it would be different for you? Luffy was always so unaware of sexual and romantic attraction, he was probably aro-ace, so confessing to him was a probably loosing game.
But you couldn’t with the feeling anymore, that heavy weight on your chest every time he said you were friends..
“Just friends.” You thought when he mentioned it the first time.
You didn’t wanted to be friends with him, you wanted to hold him every night near of you, to be able to tell him how much you loved him whenever you wanted without being asked by the others. You had to do it.
“I like you, Luffy.”
You pronounced, you finally had the courage to tell him your feelings after seeing the opportunity when, after dinner, he happened to be alone on the upper deck.
Luffy looked confused at you, his head tilted slightly and his eyebrow went up while the other furrowed.
“Ya’ like me?” He asked rhetorically, his confusion turned into his usual and pretty smile.
“I like you too ___! You’re my best friend after all.”
Those words sank hard on your heart, did he understood it? Maybe he ignored it? You sighed and proceeded to explain better.
“No but..- Not as a friend! More like..I, uh.”
You breathed again inhaling and exhaling to calm down before gaining enough courage.
“Luffy. I love you. Not as a friend, neither a nakama. I love you like a couple would.”
His face froze, he stood in shock in front of you, turning everything really awkward. You looked down, his eyes were the thing you wanted to avoid right now. Then, while your sight was still down to the wood floor, you heard a chuckle.
Before you could get up your sight, a wild Luffy was already getting over you, wrapping you in his rubber arms and swinging you around with strength and a smile that could burn the sun.
“I love you too!” He said with a happy and loud tone, it was a miracle no one was hearing the conversation at this point.
Your face turned from confusion to happiness and a little giggle left your lips as you captured his cheeks on your hands and kissed him, the thing you wanted to do since the very first day was finally a chance. You wouldn’t change this moment for anything. At all.
“So? Then we’re a couple?!” He asked happily, a small coral-pink blush adorned his pretty face. He let you go and waited for an answer.
“Of course Luffy.”
Suddenly—and it shouldn’t have been a surprise— claps and cheers were heard from behind the mast of the deck, from there Zoro, Nami and Usopp came out. Cheering happily from what they already knew from a long time, but they could finally be able to presence.
Your face tinted red as you stared shyly at your crew mates, Luffy, so uninterested as always just received the cheers with a big smile.
But, on the inside, you were happy, did happiness actually existed for pirates? Could you really be happy with him? This was like a dream come true you never wanted to end. Now you knew it wasn’t a sin neither something bad, it was love, a pure love…
A different love.
Tumblr media
A/N: Short but i loved it! Hope ya’ like it too. Remember I’m takin’ requests.

Do you think Bunny was jealous of Camilla. Bbecause. I do.
cna i be honest.
no, he just didnt like her. but also yes, he was jealous. I think his disdain for Camilla didn't just stem from "hur dur hate women", it was a bunch of things. And it doesn't have to be purely because he was jealous of the romantic/sexual relationship Henry had with Camilla, sometimes friends get jealous of relationships their friends have. Its toxic, ik, but it happens and we all KNOW Bunny was toxic asf (but not the only toxic person in the group fr).
Let's see.
Bunny knew about the incest thing since Richard met him. And while he was appalled by the whole affair, he only ever was shitty to/about Camilla, not Charles. I dont think its purely misogny here but i will not deny that was probably a BIG factor. so before any white knights come whining in my asks about du,bass shit; shut up.
Bunny was never into Camilla- Francis straight up says Bunny didn't even used to look at her, he said she wasnt his type, but then Francis assumes that Bun probs knew Camilla was "the type" (Francis says "bad medicine" and tells richard that apprently she leads people on, she lead henry on, she was even leading richard on, so on). Maybe Bun could tell that too, maybe his disdain for her came because he didnt want his best friend to get caught up with a "girl like that". (God forbid a girl has hobbies, tsk tsk francis)
I think maybe Bunny told henry specifically about the incest thing (he did not mention this to anyone else, so he didnt care about the gossip. he only cared about telling henry-- perhaps to make him realize "what sort of a girl" Cam was (even tho charles was equally involved and much worse lol). But you see that it doesnt rlly affect henry, i dont think henry cared about monogamy, or even the incest- maybe he thought it was yuck but apparently not yuck enough for him to stop flirting with camilla. we know hes detached from things, and tbh its a very henry reaction to knowing that and then just not giving a fuck. but back to Bun, sure, it could have been him trying to look out for henry for friendship purposes or he couldve just wanted to break them up lol.
I mean we know to SOME extent that Bunny was somewhat possessive of Henry.
1) He didn't let the man out of his sight and was overinvolved in Henry's affairs.
2) When he finds Richard staying at Henry's house, he gets visibly irritated. He also "jokingly" asks Henry if he's started to "house the sick" or something along those lines
Now to reiterate, Bunny could've just been a possessive friend ORRRR.... girl......his homo tendencies were showing. And sometimes possessive friends get territorial about their friends when it comes to their friends' partner.
So he might have specifically hated camilla for;
1) being a girl
2) being the receiver of Henry's special treatment (romantic or non romantic basis for this), this is where the jealousy aspect plays in and
3) being of "bad character" (incest and the whole leading on thing)
Disclaimer, this is not a cmailla hate post. I support womens right and womens wrongs. Except the incest but thats also Charles fault so yall better not be blaming just her

JJBA PART 5, VENTO AUREO IS THE UNDERBAKED MESS I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT FIXING...PART 2
FIX 2: WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A PROBLEM LIKE GIORNO?
Tumblr media
thats the homo photo of my dad
answer: i dont know.
the unfortunate and honest to god truth of the matter is that the protagonist of JJBA part 5, giorno giovanna, fucking sucks.
what if that little shithead from the twilight zone episode "it's a good life" was gay and watched "goodfellas". you might think "wow that sounds great" but, well, somehow it's not.
it is months later and i have been struggling with writing this for a bazillion reasons: i got sick, real life events occurred, i had to work on comic, i died, etc. but the most strenuous reason of all in the end was facing the impenetrable, tangled, and deeply complicated gordian knot that is the little ladybug loving bitch named giorno and not knowing where the fuck to even begin.
i had to think long and hard about how to approach the problem of "giorno giovanna". he is like a diamond of sucking ass: multi-faceted and beautiful in his perfection but is, ultimately, just a stupid fucking rock from the dirt. he completely lacks the innate charisma and personality inherent in previous jojo protagonists AND antagonists; despite having both the joestar AND brando gene pools to pull from, he manages to snag a net total of 0 personality traits. this problem is multiplied 100 fold once he starts actually doing things to move the plot along and the universe repeatedly bends itself like a pretzel in order to gift him undeserved and unrewarding (to us, the audience) win after win after win.
his theme goes hard as hell tho
youtube
if you were to ask me what is wrong with giorno, i would have no problem making a long and detailed list of why i want to slap the little cinnamon rolls of his head. i have no idea how to organize that list into a more coherent form of criticism that points at the overarching structural weakness of part 5. part 5 really, really wants you to like and root for giorno. it hinges on it. his victories are explicitly supposed to be emotionally and morally gratifying. they are instead trite and annoying.
for years, YEARS, my only experience with the entirety of part 5 outside of infamous panels and the most basic information about the story, was this incredible, evergreen and laser targeted tweet:
Tumblr media
i thought this was a funny shit post. all i knew giorno had some kind of "life creation" power. what i didnt know was:
giorno says this exact line and then turns cars into frogs so that they (the bad guys) cant catch them (they do catch them)
giorno's power IS fucking stupid
i fucking hate him
he should stop using it
abbacchio was right. he was right about everything
how DO you talk about giorno? giorno's blandness permeates any situation he has the misfortune of attending and the parts of the narrative where he's missing for one reason or another are significantly improved by his absence. in comparison with the deuteragonists (bruno bucciarati) and tritagonists (the members of bruno's squad in the mafia family passione), he has all the flavor of a communion wafer. his character arc is non-existent. emotionally, he might as well have just gone to the store and back by the end of the story.
and, look, araki likes to play fast and loose with how powerful a stand is or what its abilities are. im not here to measure power levels or fucking whatever stupid shit people get up to. the more wild and insane he gets with his incredibly "unique" ""understanding"" of science and geometry, i'm 99% on board for. but giorno's stand, gold experience, is whatever the narrative needs it to be at any given time with no consistency. it's OP as hell long before he gets the 11th hour power boost; his stand has the extra trans-dimensional ability to remove any tension from a fight scene. through this, gold requiem can destroy the psyche of the audience, truly making it the most powerful stand of all time.
Tumblr media
people used to love to bitch about not understanding how the villain's stand works in this part, but if anyone tells you they understand what the fuck THIS means they're lying to you.
anyway, there is only one solution i can think of when it comes to how to approach this: assess the major story beats in order. i think jumping around in the progression of events to highlight individual flaws in the character will not adequately impart the suffering one feels as an audience member while the narrative yo-yos between being rollicking good fun and being at the mercy of the little 15 year old twink with god mode on.
and so, having made it past koichi's tiny ass role (and his tiny ass) in the story and addressing how we can proceed, we can cover bruno (a genuinely wonderful character), polpo, and the wasted character building opportunity of the piss drinking scene, which vexes and infuriates me to this day. [thinking about the piss scene and getting mad again] ooooh!!!!

just woke up so i don't have the brain power to process all that but i appreciate the effort nonetheless <3

genuine question for my lgbtq followers: which words are actually slurs? as an aroace person i still consider myself "queer" but i saw something that said "queer" is a slur? and i've seen stuff about an L slur and D slur and other slurs but at this point i'm not sure what's actually Not Okay To Say Unless You Are That Thing and what's considered reclaimed(?) by the community and is fine for the community to use even tho homo/transphobes still use it in a mean way
like for example i can use the word "fag" without breaking any rules because i'm under the lgbtq umbrella and that word technically describes me (although i personally don't like to use it because of the history, but that's personal preference), but if a homophobic personal called me a fag because they think i deserve to burn and die in a horrible way then that's not allowed, and also cishet ally's probably shouldn't say it either
TLDR: where is the line can someone please tell me cause i don't want to mess up on something this important

You going through 11 makes me ??? more at this current trend where he’s gone from “lovable piece of shit” to “he’s the worst and most annoying”. Of course there are sexist lines and I really do believe Capaldi era perfected both 10 and 11 era, but I feel like 11 and his darkness was really well done, even blatantly/unsubtle not endorsing sometimes.
yeah i really feel 11 functions as such a fascinating continuation of 10 and looking at him through the lens of time lord victorious kind of makes me insane!!!! i think 11 as a character is really obviously A Problem and i cannot help but be charmed by his obsession with being in control and his vindictive rage when people don’t listen.
the hungry earth was actually one of my favorite examples of 11 fucking up in a way that had consequences — he didn’t notice when ambrose’s son got locked out with the homo reptilia, even tho he was the one to let elliot leave, and elliot was then the motivating factor that got ambrose to snap and kill alaya. 11 was not reliable enough for “trust me, i’m the doctor” to do the heavy lifting.
i think a lot of the difficulty comes from like. the switch up in protagonists? the companion was very much the protagonist in the rtd era and 11 is very much the protagonist in his first season (can’t speak for the other ones). we have had a lot of episodes where the companions feel like a superfluous sounding board for 11 to sorta bounce ideas off of as he (and only he) solves the problem with the power of his brain. THAT part can be a little frustrating. but in terms of the way the narrative presents him, i am fairly certain we are always supposed to see the amy thing as real weird (thinking hard about river seeing amy’s doctor dolls and going “doctor, why do i let you out?”) and the softened edges of the amy horror rlly come from the show often wanting to make sexy jokes about amy and the doctor instead of committing to a single tone. and the doctor himself is so erratic and so questionably reliable and so resistant to anyone knowing More Than Him!!!! i would definitely not say that there is a lack of awareness within the story re: how much he has the capacity to suck.

*sigh*
Anyway, we are starting a tour through random universes - or multiverses? Feck I know lol. And where can you start this kinda madness better than in good old Wonderland XD
For the Design of our favorite Tea Party here I actually used the design of the fantastic American McGee as a base, however I tried to morv it into version of these guys before Wonderland went to shit as it did in the PC Games. Also mixed in some bits from disney with the pink road and the glasses-bird there in the first panel x3
What's going on with the weird 4th wall break tho you ask? Those confused noises you may turn to @myrrhion who wrote the script of most of Between the Lines anyway ;3

Nah, we should be rightfully annoyed with the No homo line. It was not written with aro queer platonic representation in mind...don't do the work for them, don't make excuses for them. This was censorship, and queer baiting... And its such a good anime, well written, great animation, even the music. It was mature, and crude in a mature way...until you get to the ending..
Like sure, everything else is super realistic but not the homo tho. That's never gonna happen. A gay couple being paternalistic? Nah, that's fantasy. Those men are perfectly straight...
One of them even goes out on dates.
What is this?, An eighties comedy family friendly movie??!...
That's bull...and ya know it is.

What does capitalism taste like
Does it taste like white picket fences and 2.5 kids
What about a dog in the backyard and BBQs on the weekend
Knowing all your neighbors names and having the HOA on speed dial
Does it taste like the life you want to live?
Are the HOA in your contacts because they keep calling you
Or are you calling them
Does that complicated C word taste the homogeneity in your neighborhood
Where the police arrive in 2 seconds flat, with a gate and a patrol to match
Does it taste like "I'll wait here for your manager" and weekends at the golf course
Does it taste like a martini because the trophy spouse has a long day?
Does it taste like security cams and a ranch on the property with the stable boys and the guest house to the side with the cabana ones?
Does it taste like equestrianship is in your blood from birth? What about fencing?
Does it taste like ivy league vines crawling up babies spines from birth?
Does it taste like "Harvard is your dream not mine" and then rebellion
Does rebellion look like a fully funded backpack trip to Europe with your first great love
Or does it look like "I'm going to work for my parents equally rich rival company"
Or does it look like different freedom, independence, simply a different life
Where you can still ask your parents for money because you reached a happy ever after in the movie
What does capitalism taste like
Happily ever after is fake for us real folks so it must hold true for those up top right?
People in gated communities who's stepford mother's figures are earned with the local book club
Who's menopause kicks in at the same pace because we're all just clucking hens bonding together aren't we
Aren't we all just girls looking to connect with other girls in line for the bathroom?
Let's be honest, we all have some kind of mommy issue don't we? #justgirlythings
And what about the men? Is it really just an opportunity to measure up?
Is it a subtle side eye to measure manhood, even tho bro code states "thou must not make eye contact with another bro I'm the bathroom"
Doe you feel like enough when you see a guy like your ex is now dating
Do you feel reassured when you notice your manhood is better?
Why does size matter?
Why am I automatically called "a little lady" by cowboys who are raised to believe "bigger in Texas" really means better
Is this what capitalism does
Does "be a man" follow men into the bathroom like "don't be a pussy" does for women?
Why must public communal bathrooms make us decide a gender right at that moment
Can't we measure a bathroom by the content of their room?
Stalls or urinals? Privacy or not? Right this way fellow citizen
Citizen. Human. Person. Life.
What does capitalism taste like
Does it taste like legislation against the gays?
No cakes no websites no space no homos
No healthcare no rights no sports pro bono
Hare dare anyone use pronouns! Fake news!
Them libs want you to think you can be referred to anything but your name. It's the devil's work
Didnt you hear that song? Call me by your name? He was a devil in the music I daresay! The devil!!
I'd let the devil fuck me
At least he would treat me right and show me a good time
What has capitalism done
This thing we fought for so that all our founders' legacies might have a future
Future away from tyranny and taxation and being slaves to our king
We have no kind any more, no crown jewels to protect, but we act the same
Why is the one who's always on top always the winner who writes the history
The winner who's educated
from a family with money
who were taught good Christian values
with a fencing rapier in hand and
Shakespeare in their veins
Is this what capitalism does
Dilutes us to the elite
Homogeneous suburbia and "all you need is fairy tales and you can be rich too"
Political correctness and "just find a man to solve your problems"
Register to vote and "be a man or you're not good enough"
It's not just little girls who get told their not good enough
The gender non conforming community has definitely unlocked a whole cheat code on life
That and the furries who have been the scientific backbone of this country for eons
But why do my apples taste not like what an apple tree looks like in the movies?
The one in the corner of Mamma Mia on the isle in Greece
Where my problems were solved by not getting married but traveling the world as a skinny white woman with her Kenough manly man
Singing voice for character wink
Why don't my apples taste like those on the Grecian island where the stories of the locals are forgotten to the American story, the American dream
I escaped my mom and became one myself
I'm a self made woman now
With a mortgage she can't pay and life problems that were clearly solved by marrying the man who hurt her the most in life
Why doesn't my apple taste like how that apple tree looks?
Why doesn't it taste like the apple from the garden?
Why doesn't it taste like the freedom eve must have felt when she disobeyed
Why is the taste of temptation diluted in my cheap apple from the superstore in the fruit section
Does it taste like pesticide and FDA regulations
Who keeps them in check? The CDC? WHO?
The DOJ or FBI or NAFTA or the Geneva convention
Was it a Geneva suggestion or a line from the treaty of Versailles or did agent orange bring us here
How many babies were born deformed before I ate this apple
And how many nat GMO products have I consumed that my human body has endured?
What does capitalism taste like? Because I swear, remaining tribal lands must not be like this
Forgotten poor African villages eat different
Forgotten poor native south America cultures remain intact on top of mountains that the white or Spanish or French have not yet learned to monetize
And now they will never because the people on the ground know better and are stronger
And capitalism stays the same
Progress is progress no matter how small
But all this progress
Is it good for us
Good for our taste buds
They say to beware vaccines and microchips but aren't we already a cyborg because we carry a favored microchip in our hands?
The ones we avoid calls from home on and instead laugh at cat videos
We share, bare our souls online to strangers but the people in our lives could never break our pokerface
But if we were born this way
Would we ever know what capitalism tastes like
If we don't ask someone else?
Does capitalism taste like the additive sugar in a fun size bar of crunch
Does it taste like the chocolate take over energy found in the Nestle headquarters
Or does it taste like the cocaine they put into coca cola to keep people buying more
I'm not convinced that the girl scouts didn't take that idea for themselves
Does capitalism taste like the working conditions of these massive corporate overlords
Or the factories where they bottle and bag and package comfort for 1.25
Does it taste the endless metallic conveyor belts
Or the chance that peanuts were used in any of those products
Does it taste like our countries trade deal for cheap products made from other companies
Does it taste like the the sweat shops that make your favorite new shirt or those fashionable high tops
Does it take like the abused labor that built this country
Does it taste like all the ghost statues of people who should have been memorialized instead of forgettable white men from history
Does it taste like the rust they should have earned all along
Or does it taste like the pain of forgotten artists
The heart of Harlem the beasts of Boston the cheeps of the Cherokee
Does it sound like the ones who's names we forget
The neglected breaks of the Oregon trail the gentrification of the only pockets of culture in this country
The Japanese internment camps
Border patrol and the place where there was almost a wall
Are the tears of all the family members of witches still a part of Salem
What about the hurt caused by the fights for gender equality that excluded black women
Does capitalism taste like Jim Crow or strange fruit
Just because it's rotting in the back doesn't mean it's in our past
These caged birds still sing can't you hear?
I fear for my brother and my niece and my nephew daily, their lives matter too
Friends neighbors family
They're still part of your labor or did you forget what The 13th taught us
Toni Morrison, Frederick Douglas
Miles Davis, Billie Holliday
MLK and Malcom X
HER and Missy Elliott
They run in our veins
The revolution is not televised
Stonewall certainly can't be told by anyone else
Nor can we forget the power of black trans women in the creation of pride spaces
What about the flyover cities that are meant for rural living with signs screaming "no airport here"
The pain of the indigenous people who's land a mindless mall was built over
Being given back land that belonged to those born here ages past
Ancestral home can be yours with a side of steak knives
And while I'm here can I interest you in the Book of Mormon
What about their tears? Their blood their breaks their pain
Does capitalism taste like that?
The endless lost even now and memorialized in art with a red handprint to their portrait
The lack of water and resources to land promised back
Ancestral home returned but you're on your own. Unless you're ready to hear about our Lord and savior
When will we realize we aren't a savior to begin with
Is this what capitalism tastes like?
Institutions built for white people who forgot that the land isn't theirs and never was
Home of the brave where those with the most force and money can get anywhere
We're the underdogs, the land of opportunity, come on by
You just have to follow these few simple rules
So if you're not perfect or cookie cutter, don't worry we'll just sand around the edges
So you'll fit into these boxes and society can know what to do with you
But if you're too much or not enough be ready to hate the rest of your days here
Welcome to the country of goldilocks and fuck you if you're not "just right"
What does capitalism taste like for you?

n a v i g a t i o n
hi yall i'm demi (26, they/she, pacific) and this is sung! feel free to give this a like or dm me on discord at demi6468 if you'd like to plot
if you're wondering if i'm the demi you know... probably. it's been a while since i've done tumblr rp so pls bear w me. this barbie is also a shawol so expect constant references in and out of character. that said, more sung info (sungfo, if u will) below:
-----
background:
grew up poor but then listened to paris hilton and just stopped being poor (or, as history will say, his parents' restaurant business blew up)
moved around quite a bit in older child/tween years as the business grew
was an idol fan from a young age, but the 'rents wanted sung as their business successor
sucks 4 them sung became a trainee anyway. was set for debut after a couple years but that fell through, then the company started treating him as a model instead of an idol and it wore him down and he left
took on military service
didn't give up on his dream tho, joined another company after coming back and worked as a back up dancer for a fallback
tldr for the ending survival show > temporary group > disbandment > solo
personality:
vitamin, sunshine, kind, sweet, polite, hopeless romantic, hard working, determined, introspective, dreamer, overthinker, judgmental, gives himself very good advice but very seldom follows it, can be a bit manipulative (though he doesn't think he is)
he's a pisces, for context on all the above. also a crybaby. cries for happiness, sadness, anything in between
sung's idol self and true self aren't particularly different, idol sung is just more careful/shows negative traits less. he has a pretty good reputation, and a lot of his Brand relies on being likable
the biggest actual difference is sung's a raging homo, which ofc isn't public knowledge
introverted extrovert. most would class him as an extrovert, but he really needs the time to have a cool down period
plots:
sung loves to read, so fellow readers are an easy connection
cares Very Much about music and dance. while he's a known kpop gg stan, he has a decent range of taste in music. over his idol career, he's developed a strong love for songwriting and choreographing to where at this point he's not particularly interested in releasing anything his hands Haven't touched. this is a great place for other diehards/creatives to connect, but also where sung's negative traits could come out. he could be quick to judge someone's commitment level and react poorly due to it
it'd be Lovely to fill the role of a choreographer that sung really respects and has a close relationship with. preferably not an idol for this one, but they would be the person who co-choreographed and starred in sung's move! i see this relationship as one where their passions about dance line up very well and it was an instant connection. they could have worked together at other points as well, like choreographing for bsides for his first solo concert
that said, would also love other dancers that he keeps on retainer for releases and performances! as he cares so much about his ~art~ he really wants to keep those he feels align with his work. so the same faces pop up a lot. he's very loyal and gives flowers (mostly metaphorical but literal too) to all staff and crew, whether they're on stage with him or not
also loves romantic dramas. he's less knowledgable in other fields (least knowledgable in horror) but still partakes. he's just more likely to sims 4 get famous scream and faint over a romance actor
any athletes i am so sorry to tell u this gayby has no clue who you are
other survival group members! idt i'll make it an official wanted ad since i left everything so vague, but there are so many directions for that. i also Headcanon jsj (the temp group) to being a pseudo sibling group with rhiannon and yebin's viv:id 🤓
i'd love for another vivid member to come and be the feat on sung's song be your enemy! yebin was karina in want and rhi was seulgi on heart stop so it'd be fun to continue the trend
another negative place to come from could be just catching sung on a bad day back when he was pushed as a model in his og company. he was very worn out, discouraged, and idk teen hormones im sure didn't make it easier. on the flip side, someone supporting him then would be lovely
the easiest way to tick sung off without much effort has to do with politeness. he gives a lot more grace to foreigners, but really doesn't stand for it from born koreans
i mention negative ideas most since those are hardest for nice muses BUT in gen, sung is kind of a 'friend of the industry' guy. though, especially when he was younger, he had a hard time picking up on cues from people that they didn't want to be friends. he's pretty full on and touchy straight away. loves him a little cuddle
with romance, he's a chronic falling in love with friends-er. but he's also a True hopeless romantic so a guy says smth nice to him once and he walks away with a little bit of a crush 9/10 times. doesn't tend to go for his best interests, so negative romantic r/s are welcome too (past or present)
also he had a gf sometime when he was around 16-18, so that could be fun to play with!

List of LGBTQ+ characters in Granblue Fantasy the mobage
Finally got myself to create this list that is most likely incomplete because thanks to the gacha nature of the game and me being F2P i haven’t experience all the characters' stories so some characters may be missing and some others may be incomplete, if you know of any character and how they’re queer do let me know, much appreciated if you cite the event, quest or fate episode.
The list consists of the characters name in alphabetical order, how or why are they lgbtq+, personal comments about them and the story, special mentions, headcanons and the token hetero couples as the minority. Beware of spoilers.
Will edit this post so come back to check the original.
Masterlist

Albert - whatever he and Yurius have is def not straight, their whole story is being best friends, fighting to save each other sometimes fighting one another, defending and trusting the other, the iconic scene of Yurius pointing Albert’s neck with his own sword making an oath to him exudes homoeroticism, Albert having tons of fangirls whom he ignores in Valentine's Day specially for MC regardless of gender
Albion - in love with Ares (wlw), destined to die as result to the contract with Luminiera
Alliah - gets married to MC regardless of gender, albeit only political she states there is no better prospect for her to spend the rest of her life with other than MC

Ferdinand - perfect evil queer representation
Freesia - in love with the former queen of the Erste Kingdom, Orchis’ mother
Freyr - the most important people in his life are Baldr and Geo (mlm) subtext, context, stop trying to only consider explicit stuff representation text
Gabriel and Europa are girlfriends (and Europa will flirt with MC regardless of gender, for being a water primal beast she sure is thirsty)
Grimnir - has feelings for MC regardless of gender as seen on his Valentine's unit, Valentine's and White Day's lines

Kou - flirts with MC regardless of gender
Ladiva - trans woman, adoptive mother of the crew, love is her power
Lancelot - practically married to Vane, never had a fight because they are so perfect for each other
Lamorak - he being nonbinary makes the three brothers of Wales officially all queer
Lich - something about their summon being male while their humanoid form is female is def not cis
Lobelia - another perfect evil queer representation
Lucio - got eaten by a shark because he was too busy flirting with Sandalphon, does the impossible for Sandalphon to notice him
Lunalu -  her Valentine’s Day lines originally could only be viewed if MC is a woman (gbf added an option to disregard MC’s gender when it came to most holiday lines). She often goes in complete rants about how pretty some women and men are while blushing, bicon.
Lyria - in love with MC regardless of gender
Magisa - in love with MC regardless of gender, thinks of MC as their fated person
Meg and Mari are girlfriends
Melissabelle - In the Popol Saga event Imagination Overdrive, when Lunalu loses her mind and the whole group of Harvin girls tries to bring her back to normal she specifically says "You're you, Lunalu. No matter what form you take, it doesn't change the fact you are the Lunalu i know and love." and this is enough to actually have Lunalu snap out of it. She could have easily said "we" but Melissabelle had to single her own feelings out. Also despite getting headaches from reading she decides to make an effort and read Lunalu’s favourite book and actively engages in her interests despite the fandom world being new to her!?!? that is love right there
Meteon - feels attracted to MC regardless of gender
Miach - either genderqueer or a poor fella forced to crossdress and live as the opposite sex, gotta have to wait for more of their story, tho i love that when Fediel, Jeanne and MC realized Miach was amab said nothing about it, only when Miach told Fediel about it she said that she doesn't find it weird 
Mireille and Risette are in love with each other (wlw)
Mordred - mister i won't cry because i have you (Arthur) to cry for me instead
Morgan - a Fairy with it/it's and they/them pronouns
Morilynn - the Accordant for the Horoscope "Thalassinus" but also the weapon themselves, official English pronouns are they/them, that paired with the fact they are not human but still want to learn about how to be a person seems very nonbinary coded to me
Necesaria - everything about him screams QUEER
Noa and Rackam are soulmates and i hate that cygames didn't let them share power yet they stablished they were the best option for it, instead had to go with the second best option who was Tiamat and i will forever grieve what could have been, thanks for making them gayer in the anime tho
Percival - feels attracted to MC regardless of gender as seen on his Valentine's and White Day's lines
Randall - in love with Feather to the point that he got dragged into the same figthing lifestyle as him, "i'll become the better fighter so that you finally look at me"

Yuel - promised to always be with Societte, taking care of Kou, You and Sui as their kids or little siblings
Yuisis - asked MC to have a family with her regardless of gender
Yurius - not only does he have Albert but also flirts with MC regardless of gender
Special mentions
The Kahua’s citizens because they’re all female, everyone born there are female as stated in the Paliuli Pararaiha’s event
Yggdrasil’s birthday message where it seems like she and MC are getting married regardless of MC’s gender, it is unknown if Yggy herself is conscious about it because she can’t talk, she communicates via mystical sounds
Dragons are genderless beings, meaning every dragon in the game is queer which includes: the Six Dragons (Wilnas, Wamdus, Galleon, Ewiyar, Lu Woh and Fediel), Orologia, Malinda, Deidre (but not Scathacha?), Vyrn, Ailill, Medb, Fafnir, Lindwurm, even papi Bahamut!
Basically the whole WMTSB main cast is LGBTQ+ and have multiple songs about it
Beelzebub - obsessed with Lucilius wanting both to stand beside him and surpass him (i wish i knew more about Bubz but i haven't reach the top of Tower of Babyl so idk his stance regarding MC in GBF, we know thx to GBFVS both MC and him are singularities, MC being born one and Bubz asking Lucifaa to make him one cause he was dying, and he agreeing to work with MC against Belial makes me think MC is the only person he sees on eye lvl, he looks up to Faa-san and looks down on everyone else), he was struck by Lucifer's power and beauty 🥲 (I cannot, so his murder was personal). He being a clone of Helel ben Shalem makes him pretty trans and his obsession of shaping his body as he desires.
Belial - devoted completely to Lucilius refering him as Faa-san (in GBVS he refers to him as Daddy), jealous of Lucifer (may have some sort of sympathy for him cause he not killing him directly instead guiding Beelzebub to do it for him and feeling pity as he decapitates and steals his body dictates he wants to hate Lucifer more than what he actually does), into MC regardless of gender, implied he is also fond of Sariel (obscuring it, can't let anyone know he has feelings that don't revolve around Faa-san), he removed from Sariel the chaos matter and spared him in a way that didn't cause much actual damage despite looking like it did, he seemed to have an interest in him earlier on given the quests leading up to his raid battle (which may have occurred prior to their conversation in the flashbacks in 000) showing him having him transferred to his jurisdiction (Belial is insecure about being "imperfect" compared to Lucifer and has some deal of ambivalence towards his intended purpose it's probably very interesting and possibly comforting to him that despite the inherent flaws in Sariel's makeup (re:the limiter being set too high) he manages to diverge from his intended purpose entirely because of his personality and desires); very interested in Beelzebub trying to get any form of reaction from him tho getting ignored most of the time and the rest making him annoyed, his summer summon talks about Bubz' body and how he looks better naked, loves flirting and teasing pretty much everyone
Lucifer - in love with Sandalphon
Lucilius - the other person he cared about besides himself was Lucifer
Sandalphon - in love with Lucifer
Sariel - being obsessively devoted to Belial, protecting him ("Don't touch him!") and outright saying he doesn't care if he's using him, seeming relatively apathetic towards pretty much everyone else (besides animals), and currently being in the beginning of an arc revolving entirely around finding out how to get to him in the weird between-dimensions void he and Lucilius are in, never forget when Belial ripped out his wings and Sariel while in pain was like “if that’s what you will”, he didn’t have individuality until Belial told him to. Sariel’s CV Akira Ishida said in an interview about 000 sidestory that Belial is "someone he loves, despite them being apart". (LuciSan and Beriel parallels)
Modern AU from Sincerely, Your Dearest Friend event
Miku, Lyria and Aoto are either in a polyam or queerplatonic relationship and I LOVE IT
Oribe and Fuwa are boyfriends
Personal headcanons
Cassius - aroace
Lucilius - demiroace
Nehan - aroace
Siegfried - aroace
Token hetero couples
Aliza and Stan
Deliford and his nameless wife
Krelkulkil and Keralbarra ;n; RIP
Lady Grey and her dead husband
Leona and Abel
Nectar and Shinsha (tho Nectar is a being beyond gender constructs and Shinsha loves him regardless, they just present as an hetero couple)
Nicholas and Marie
Romeo and Juliet
Sarunan and Honey (Honey is a spirit, I know she is fem but does that make them hetero?)
Scathacha and Naoise (Scathacha is a dragon but she presents as a fem erune, the game does clasify her as a 'female' instead of 'other' like the other dragons so idk)
Sturm and Drang (tho Sturm does have a date with MC regardless of gender)
Tabina and Attiyah
Vermeil and Ludmilla

After seeing spoilers for the last episode, I still think I’m going to pass on finishing Buddy Daddies.
Don’t get me wrong - I’m so glad they went the happy ending route for the buddies!
However, I saw that they went the large time skip route, which is an ending trope in media that I’ve never been a big fan of at all. This in itself would not be enough to dissuade me, except:
They also felt the need to shoehorn in that one line about Kazuki going out with a girl. There was literally zero reason to include that line except as an attempt to quash any notion that Rei and Kazuki are romantically involved even ten years in the future. This left a bad taste in my mouth.
I actually had at least a tiny iota of hope, especially given the premise of the series, that they might actually “go there” with Rei and Kazuki. Instead, we got a pretty clear “no homo tho” that felt completely unnecessary. They could’ve at least left it ambiguous and I still would’ve been happy. Literally just not have included that line at all.
I do appreciate what the series has done by including non-traditional family dynamics though. I’m still just going to skip straight to the fanfiction for this one though.

Big fat thread about an unfinished Pokédex
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Admittedly, they aren’t very Grass type for a starter line. They are herons/storks that end with a “mad” scientist and windmill motif, the latter is shown better in the G-Max tho. The G-Max is a Don Quijote “Giant” and likely how Homo Floresiensis looked at Flores’ giant storks
Storks are common in Spain and I saw literally a flock of migrating herons from my dad’s car during my childhood, hence why this pick for my grass starter
G-Max Crumenill was mostly inspired in giant flower-”crest” like the ones of Petaldramon or Flowered Sectonia
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hierbill’s neck is like green heron’s neck and Crumenill’s bow tie spins when generating electricity
Tumblr media
---
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Fire starter line takes inspiration from the origin of the myth of fire salamanders, obviously axolotls/olms and San Juan’s bonfire, as well as something unfortunate about axolotls. This G-Max was the weakest design of the starter trio to be honest
The fire salamander is the most common salamander in Europe. The axolotl details were taken because they give a very good aesthetic and were easy to implement
The loose skin “coat” is meant to look short like a sorcerer cloak. The vivid belly patterns were based on Monster Hunter’s Nibelsnarf and the ones of the G-Max form are meant to look like lava
Tumblr media
The unfortunate thing about axolotls is how their skin is damaged by staying too much time out of water. Good to find for the inspiration of this line, but the picture of the poor axolotl so crippled breaks my heart
---
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, the Water starter line are literal water bears, tanks in every sense of the word, but as bears with traits of the tardigrade rather than the other way around (because the other is quite overused) and with fun inspiration in spanish stuff
Bathcub’s name was prompted by my friend EventHorizontal
Aside from the Iberian Bear, the traits of diving and astronaut suits and submarines are because the first versions of the suits were made by Spanish people. In the case of the submarine it was just the first armed submarine
Tankursa takes inspiration from Mecha Bun-Bun from The Battle Cats
Tumblr media
---
Tumblr media
The early Normal type line are just really European rabbits with a fun twist, turning into a spanish conqueror. They are super common here and a pest everywhere else, so you get the drill
Mundabitt looks like as if it was permanently startled/curious because I have never seen a rabbit directly that wasn’t like either of those
Clawqueror’s claws are meant to resemble the blades used by the conquerors, but they accurately are like how long rabbit claws are
Tumblr media
---
Tumblr media
The low tier early Bug types are earwigs because it’s very odd that such a mundane insect hasn’t been used by Pokémon yet. They have exaggerated rear pincers because earwigs doesn’t have much else than their butt pincers
The names of both use the spanish translation of buttface combined with words to fit the whole “It thinks it’s way cooler than how it actually is” For the laughs, if I designed their stats, they would get Guillotine hilariously early 
---
Tumblr media
A regional variant! One of the many that at the end evolved into a new fakemon here. Is Pidove, but became a city pigeon by eating garbage, so it’s just really a regular pigeon
While the whole idea is about the city, domestic and rock pigeons, this character (see until 1:16) was the biggest inspiration for this https://youtu.be/cw2c4r5gkvs?t=53 
As they are Poison type and the colors of the rock pigeon fit with cigarettes, Filftdove’s color are based around these and smoke The fact that regular pigeons have both green and violet was too perfect for a Poison type to let it pass
---
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another line of early Bug types that starts as a pitiful worm that decides if to protect the weak as it was or if to get revenge on those who hurt it. Based on Kamen Rider like Lokix for the bug theme (although I made these years before)
Atempupa is mean to represent a punching bag and bandages The fly hero/mosquito villain contrast was short of a joke because as a person with atopic skin, biting flies actually leave worse bites than mosquitoes
Tabanero is literally Kamen Rider. The wings are his scarf and when it goes G-Max it basically goes “Anime hero over the top stuff”, not because Kamen Rider but for fun Maldamo is the leader of Shocker, but it takes heavy inspiration from Parallel Nightmare from Kirby. In fact, Maldamo has no legs
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
The early bird fodder here are based on sparrows and immediately in the second stage they are bearded vultures. Bird repeats do change to different species more often than you might think, but it’s honestly cooler to do this
Trituross takes the regular and clay-stained coloration of bearded vultures and nothing else because they are awesome enough
Tumblr media
The Ground type was initially because the bone moves motif and added with clay to fit the concept, I didn’t know that bearded vultures ACTUALLY use clay on their feathers until much later
---
Tumblr media
Pokémon did their own Spanish Grass cat and I decided to do mine. Interestingly both take inspiration from the Cipotegato, which was a funny coincidence, although mine ended inspired in San Jorge’s legend (and the Shrek Puss in Boots) And if you think that Meowscarada is based in the Mars de Foie, you know shit about Spanish culture
The original idea was a rose Pokémon with a rapier (as it’s a Spanish sword) that turned Fairy in reference to the rose that grew from the blood of the dragon that San Jorge killed in his legend and was pretty much a Roserade clone
The concept nailing when like this: 
1- The Tomatina is a well known Spanish tradition that involves a plant
2- Tomatoes and roses are related and their fruits are similar
Tumblr media
3- One of the Tomatina’s origin comes from the legend of a harlequin with a cat mask
Tumblr media
4- The Shrek’s Puss in Boots is a Spanish cat that wields a rapier
---
Tumblr media
My Pikaclone here is a shrew because they have an unhinged metabolism and because they were perfect for an Electric/Poison fakemon. Also because with this I could make it more comfortable for my designing style
Originally it didn’t have the white Pikachu-like cheeks, but after Fauxlens suggested these to make it look more like the other Pikaclones I considered and finally used it

These weren’t for dog Pokémon fodder but more because I wanted to make a literal spanish water dog. While water dogs has been done fittingly as mop dogs, I wanted a different take that ties to poodles as they are hunting dogs
When you think in poodles you usually don’t get the picture of a hunting dog adapted to water, so that’s why I wanted to go in this vein

This Paras line is just free of harmful fungi and instead have benign symbiotic edible mushrooms. As child I always saw Parasect as a crab-spider thing rather than as a stylized cicada, so that’s why Matantis is like a mix of mantis and oil beetle with some fun in the mix
Certain oil beetles in Spain are called Aceiteras, which translates as oil container. Although subtle, the long body and nose are meant to be like a bottle of cooking oil
Tumblr media
The mantis part is because the mushroom “buns” were inspired from Monster Hunter’s armor piece Chaos Cap, which is based in Chun-Li clothing
Tumblr media
It isn’t Fighting because it was originally going to be Normal type and since it looks like an ugly Chun-Li and mantises just do fighting moves for bluffing, it was fitting

These Timburs use sacks instead of their regular tools to steal things from others. It’s based in a rural sport called “Smuggler Race” that involves carrying sacks like these Before you ask, yes, I played the chorizo pun and yes, Chorerurr is just a politician
The chorizo thing is a pun because we use chorizo for the sausage but an old term for “to steal” was “chorar” and thus saying “ser un chorizo” equals to “to be a thief”
The Dark type was initially a bit forced in the most early versions but aside from the Smuggler Race, the sacks that they use were going to be the shed skin of another fakemon based on the man of the sack, a version of the spanish boogeyman, which was Dark type

Making an ice skating Surkist’s evo isn’t mindblowing, but I wanted to do my own take because it’s fun
Skice’s design takes inspiration from the main character of the Nitrome games’ Frostbite and its Spin Off Thin Ice, mostly on the latter
Tumblr media
In fact, its lore would have involved sinking opponents by cutting circles in the ice just like that character

My first shiny ever was a Yanma in Platinum. As I lost the game eons ago, I made this to tribute it. This Yanma is a dragonfly nymph and the evolution, aside from the overused dragonfly pun, is based in a damselfly, which in Spanish they get the name of “Horses of the devil”
Damselflies’ Spanish name inspired some pretty cool pictures like this and became the main inspiration for Diablanma
Tumblr media
Since it’s “horse”-like, it was intended to be a flying Poke Ride

This Tynamo line is all about love and passion, two things that lampreys absolutely don’t have. They bite and thrash to make babies, so for this absolutely anti-romantic fact I wanted to make this joke
The palette was inspired by the Spanish dish of lamprey cooked in their own blood and the Tinto River and the “burning passion” idea came because male lampreys have a special cord that heathens by pyrocells when reproducing

This variant of Rolycoly is quite literally the Ave trains because in Shinaipa they breed Rolycoly to not use coal and be more ecologic. They served me for years to see my father after my parents divorced The penguin part is because ave means bird and because an inner joke about how the train stations in where I live are very cold
Tumblr media
The idea for the G-Max was going to be the full train but as a goofy vertically elongated penguin which move would be called G-Max Delay This, combined with Stall as a possible ability, is because these trains basically always get late

At this point these last lines didn’t get any lore because I was approaching the burnout of this dex, but for context, this one is based on the Gamusino. Essentially a fictional animal to prank strangers and kids Likely, I would have made its lore being a non legendary Pokémon so rare that people often doubt that it actually exists despite being recognized in the Pokedex

Based on the cases of witchcraft and witch-hunting in Zugarramurdi. They became vengeful wraiths after being burnt to death and use the fire that killed them to cast fireballs. Zugaruja’s eyes aren’t usually seen, but when you see them, you can feel the deep hatred of it This is what happens when you don’t expect the Spanish inquisition
This line went through many many concepts around the same basis and while I didn’t bother in making Zugaruja’s G-Max, it would have been based around Drawcia Soul

These variants are based on the Gaizkin, a mythological vasque creature that sickens sleeping people by putting under their beds rooster heads made with feathers. You likely won’t find much about them because for some reason the info about these has become somehow more scarce through years
Tumblr media
Their lore is that they were evil creatures that were ridiculed with chicken-like bodies as a punishment
The last evo, just like Grimmsnarl, is actually way thinner than how it looks due the feathers making its bulk Its G-Max would have been roughly in the giant bird of The Claw (1957)
Tumblr media
Baba Yaga ideas would have been fitting but very odd to use on this and not in Zugaruja’s one

The last two lines that were going to make into the dex were based around two ice poles we have here, starting kinda goofy but turning awesome for no reason. In this case they were based on Dracula poles
The pre-evo would have been able to sneeze icicles and the evo would have gotten an ability that boost 30% damage when hailing/snow, basically having recoilless Life Orb and a free item slot in hail/snow The more I think about it, the evo is quite literally ice Noivern. Btw, this is the ice cream I’m talking about

These are based on the Frigo Pie, an ice cream that looks like a foot, for some reason Anyways, these go from red footed boobies to a short of mix of animals aiming for something like an owl bear because I wanted some short of abominable snow monster
I really mixed design traits to make the evo look cool, but I think that I was really thinking in some of the Frostbite’s creatures in my unconscious when doing this one
Tumblr media
And this is the weird Frigo Pie

These didn’t convince me at the end, but these are the only ones of the good bunch of non-designed ideas and concepts that got a design We have in Spain the legend of the Black Hand, a ghostly severed hand thing. Since I wanted to make a sock puppet for fun, I thought in making a counterpart since in Pokémon we have the White Hand
Aside from the ghostly hands inspiration, they are also themed on Master and Crazy Hand. In fact, the Crazy Hand one’s glove isn’t patched by needlework, it was added with staplers
Tumblr media
The Crazy pre-evo is meant to look like that disgruntled Kermit’s face
Tumblr media
 Oh and yes, those translucid parts are bones. Of humans? Yes and no, but I will just leave that in the air

And that’s it. Thank you if you went through the full thing
