#umber the sneasel

[goldenrodgal]

What does your daily routine look like? I imagine it's pretty different than an average trainer, what with a kid to look after and all.

thanks for asking! thankfully, my kid is now a teen, so they can be relied upon to dress themself and forage for breakfast, but a normal day goes like this:

wake up

do hygiene (shower here) and get dressed

eat breakfast (whatever's lying around and a fruit), feed pokemon who can't regulate their own mealtimes, and see what leftovers the kid hasn't taken for their lunch to eat for my lunch (matt has a hospital cafeteria to eat at, and his daughter likes school lunches)

go to work (it's goldenrod so it's by foot or public transit, depending on how tired i am)

work (i'm admin so it's emails up to my eyeballs)

lunch (either leftovers or bought lunch). pet lucky.

work (remind oak that he has the radio show on friday)

leave work

do not go home. go to the park so my pokemom can get all their sillies out

go home. if it's my turn to make dinner, make dinner. if everyone's too tired, eat whatever takeout we've had least recently

eat dinner and feed mons again. discuss days with family. reassure kid if necessary.

50/50 chance of either engaging in intellectually stimulating hobby or mewtube digglet hole while brushing lucky's coat (buzz and umber have opposable thumbs and can brush their own butts)

bedtime hygiene for everyone i mean it doppel

sleep

probably a bit more detail than you were looking for, but i like making lists. the cooking rotation is me, matt, the kids, ratchet (no thumbs be damned, that blissey makes a mean souffle).

31. Farm And one more self indulgent picture as well as plenty colored for the finale! I’m setting this after the Hisui nuzlocke, so Ismerie and Ingo are back in the present and with their close ones!

All pokemon depicted here (apart from Ingo’s chandelure, Emmet’s joltik, Elesa’s tynamo and the hisuian sneasel as I haven’t finished the nuzlocke yet, so I don’t know if she’ll actually have one ^^’) are Ismerie’s, from her various journeys. Zero the raichu from Kanto, Olympe the weavile and August the mareep from Johto, Umber and Aurifer (*) the absols and Ohmray the eelektross from Hoenn (he’s from a mirage island), Atropos the absol (lighter one), Thessalie the weavile (darker one), Chi the chimecho and Zelos the gligar (*) from Sinnoh

Umber the Sneasel Question

Can a person who is drifting aimlessly because they lost everything worth living for. For a new reason to live before their death wish gets them killed?

△ Who is a person you truly resent and why?

3.5/10

you're really dragging out the big guns, huh.

my last ex. he took advantage of my "benefit of the doubt" policy the entire time we were together, up through me not getting he was in Team Rocket until i saw him during the invasion of the radio tower. my place of work. also a bunch of putting me down, neglecting me and my kid, abusing umber, and trying to make me permabox fleur and buzz. also he definitely sold my mother's jewellery behind our backs.

so yeah. fuck him.

memory lane

<an audio clip is embedded, taken from a video recording of a very young fang reading to sadie's pokemon.

"my mom says some days are like that," they read. "even in downunda."

"so what do you think?" they ask. "that one, or Click, Clack. Mill for the talent show?"

you can hear the noises of sadie's pokemon expressing which live reading they preferred. fang giggles. "sorry, umber, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day loses 4-to-1.">

oh, they were so cute when they were that little! (and for umber's sake, i taped that reading anyway so he could listen to it).

father’s day events:

woke up to screaming.

apparently my niece has arrived home for father’s day by breaking in with an enormous, crudely made ice sculpture courtesy of regift.

had father’s day breakfast of shaved ice, courtesy of the failed ice sculptures and umber’s claws.

called my dads to wish them a happy father’s day and made sure their gifts had survived the mail (dad got a grateful dhelmise tour photobook featuring an embarrassing amount of cameos from his younger self, mark got the ugliest vase i could find [which means he loves it] and they both got a mountain of chocolate)

went on matt’s chosen father’s day activity (wailmer watching for 4 hours with an accompanying pecha-gravol slurry.)

hugged my kid

had father’s day dinner of an extraordinary amount of takeout (featuring soups for fang, we aren’t monsters)

am now too full to move.

good day.

(@wingsofachampion) Victini! -Tropius

uh, let me think. like, my job has a bunch of victories, i'm raising my kid pretty well, and i'm thinking of taking on Blackthorn Gym one day now that i have umber- OH. that's it.

okay, so. umber wasn't originally my pokemon when i met him. i used to live with his original trainer way back when, and along with a zubat (who ran away, which should have been a red flag), he had a very grumpy sneasel.

the guy was an asshole, and he treated both me and his sneasel like hot garbage. he barely even noticed my kid when they came into the picture (despite the fact that he had a significant hand in their creation).

10 years ago, he got in deep trouble with the authorities, and because of some actions he took, i kicked him out. sneasel was not with him when he did crimes, so the law allowed him to stay with me, and we bonded during the court cases. he was already deeply fond of the kid, and not being around that guy improved their relationship greatly.

my greatest personal victory is getting to look that scumbag in the face as the judge announced that due to the evidence sneasel and i had provided, i was awarded full custody of both the kid and "his" sneasel. i even got to officially sign his custody and nickname papers right there.

umber and i have been through a lot together, and thanks to him, i was able to get myself back under control and start building the family i wanted.

thank you, umber.

#asks! #pkmn irl #umber the sneasel #my kid #hehe trauma #this is pretty personal for me but i've got a restraining order and buzz #he has been officially disbarred from training ever again #so yeah. i win. #and also therapy i got so much therapy don't worry #also beating pryce with a meganium back in the day was pretty cool to little me

My pitch for the adventures of Team Prism and their characters.

Hey there do you like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon? Do you like fanfics in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon setting?

My pitch would be this then. Welcome to the small yet growing harbor city of Concordia a city that is transitioning between the traditions of their history and the advances of modern day in PMD. 

My main characters are Umber the Sneasel and Minerva the Espurr. Files on them are down below.

Name: Umber

Sex: Female

Age: roughly 27 years old. She is really 369

Bio: Her memories are unfortunately incomplete right now(Or so we think. She is definitely hiding some details out).  According to first hand accounts Umber is a member of a roving tribe known as the Echo Clan and she was exiled.

When questioned about why she was exiled she went quiet and kept changing the subject and refused to answer to any further prodding.

After her exile she trekked across the land taking odd jobs here and there and making herself into a stronger Pokémon. One day while training on the snowy mountains ever ambitious and willing to push herself she took some chances and ended up buried alive in an avalanche.

Luckily for her the combination of both her ice typing and the quick freeze kept her alive and 364 years later she would thaw out.

Confused on the time period she is now stuck in, she would live in Concordia City and one day she would meet an Espurr and her life would change.

Personality: Umber is a calm, cold and reserved person who actually deeply cares for the people that she invites into her circle showing that underneath that cold exterior she has a personality that is like the sun.(Should she even be a Dark Type?) XD

Umber like the culture of her tribe believes in loyalty over honor because when the chips are down, a person with true loyalty is worth more then strength or honor and the reason why she is here is that she defended her blood sibling and got exiled and she holds no regrets about her actions.

Umber is very competent and has the makings of a natural born leader, willing to look at battle tactics from a ground perspective and make a judgment call based on it. She has a passion and drive that is infectious and is the type of leader who would be down in the dirt with her fellow teammates.

As a result of her avalanche burial and freezing, Umber despite having the ability to read(A rare trait back then) is struggling with the new languages and linguistics of the times, but she is a quick learner and she often goes to the library everyday to learn something new.

As a consequence of her freezing she is terrified of being frozen again(And she knows how embarrassing this is for an Ice Type) plus an intense feeling of claustrophobia. 

Despite her exile she still upholds her tribes traditions and wishes to find them again.

Umber is also surprisingly open-minded and accepting of new ideas even stating stagnation is a slow death and that a truly smart and strong person is willing to change what they can.  Plus she finds it confusing how some things like being gay or speciesism to be a legitimate alien concept to grasp.

Name: Minerva

Sex: Female

Age: 24 years old

Bio: Minerva is a graduate of the local university at the top of her class with big dreams of being a member or a leader of a Pokémon team, she has been kicked out or quit approximately 40 teams for not meeting her expectations or for her poor attitude or for the fact that no team could accommodate for the fact that Minverva... is deaf. Minerva is naïve about the world but she hopes she can find a team or make a team that will accept her for who she is. One night while walking home from the local library a pair of bullies would ambush her to steal her money and she would meet Umber and everything would change.

Personality: Minerva is a very blunt and forward person who wears her emotions on her sleeve and as a result she is often unapproachable and alone when in reality what she really wants is friends. Her confidence, her intelligence and her nasty tendency to manipulate her friends or peers and turn everything into a game or a competition.

She is a very skilled and powerful Psychic type Pokémon but because of her family as well as her own attempts to be a member to society by rising above the stigma of her disability, she has become very perfectionist not only on herself but on her teammates. 

As a result she has been kicked out of countless teams despite glowing marks and praise of her abilities. 

Her stubbornness and pride also means that she refuses to communicate vocally or with a pen and paper, relying only on sign language and telepathy to communicate with people.

However deep down inside she has a ton of insecurities about herself and her place in it, she wants friends but her personality makes that so difficult, she connects with people and the world in a way that is different from others and she often believes that people are envious of her abilities and as a result her confidence is twisted into arrogance, and when she is backed into a corner she panics because she likes it when plans are organized and structured which shows her naivety with people and the world.

Minerva as a result of possible her pride and bluntness and express some very shall we say, bigoted ideas about other people and often looks down on others(Note she is often not aware when she is doing this) she has a resistance to change because she often doesn’t like admitting that she is wrong( Or at least she will admit after kicking and screaming about it) Most of this behavior is because of her family and the pressure that they put on her but also that Minverva puts on herself.

Overall Minerva is a capable but ultimately lonely person but maybe just maybe someone will come around and accept her for who she is and allow her to improve.
