yeah so i saw this hot butch and her prison wife(?) or whatever outside the gay bar

soft Ko redesign under the cut

her pants made me insane, so i went with my bias towards those horrible open front ripped jeans. featuring her ripped shirt, wallet chain ect.

This started out as a doodle and turned into something I’m just a little too proud off,,,

At some point I my brain formed the idea that Pyke has slightly prominent fangs (not shown) and a tooth gap (barely shown) which both could be from genetics or from getting hit in the face repeatedly.

They’re not really visible unless he’s smiling wide enough but it drives Ko off the wall because she also suffers from wonky teeth from getting into fights and it’s infuriating Pyke is one of those people that makes tooth gaps cute.

aww i’m so happy to see Sonic doing so well! what’s your next date gonna be? you should probably propose to each other

to the mod, has my art gone through?

Don't worry, I will, eheheh~ Eventually~ But I was thinking I could take Shadow to Starfall Islands! Oh, he'd love it there. So many places to run to, plus those arenas are fun as hell! Oh, and the falling stars? Perfect time to pop a question, if you know what I mean~ Like, someday, though. I'm just feelin' sappy right now.

Hmm... A date with Sonic.. We haven't planned one of those in a while. Perhaps we could take a tour of the surrounding islands. I'm particularly partial to the cities, but I don't think Sonic has spent much time there. We could explore the shops and destinations. I could show him that coffee shop I've grown fond of over the years.

((Hi! Yes, it did! I had been saving them for after the main plot focus had passed. Today is the day! -Mod))

The nightingale, please?

The Nightingale Returns

Not a single star lamp lit the darkness of the cottage. Not a single star adorned the quiet young woman in the simple gray dress. In former days, Ida had dripped with stars--wore them in necklaces and bracelets, tiaras and earrings, shoes and gowns that came from dozens of admirers. She'd captivated crowds upon stages that blazed in the light of hundred of stars. In this candlelit cottage, Hans might never have known her for the same woman--but he'd heard her sing.

Ida stood before the window, lit by moonlight. "Why are you here?" she asked, her voice low, but musical as ever.

"I have come from Lord Felix. He wants to see you."

Her eyes blazed like falling stars. "He expects me to come at his call? After he cast me aside for that cheap imitation?" She stormed through the parlor, looking every inch the prima donna. "I will not be kept like a pet! I will not be bought with trinkets and flattery! Not for all the stars in the sky would I ever enter the same city as that man--"

"He's dying."

Ida froze.

In his illness, Lord Felix couldn't bear brightness. The only light came from stardust sprinkled on the bed curtains, and from the faraway moon shining through the uncovered window. Even that dim light showed Felix was pale as death, wasted by illness, and tormented by memories. The son of one of the wealthiest starfall families in the city, meeting the fate common to all men.

"Ida," he murmured, as he had for the past twelve hours. "My nightingale."

Ida saw and heard as she came in the room, and Hans watched all skepticism leave her face. She knelt at his bedside and took his feverish hand between hers.

Felix's gaze cleared at her touch. "Ida?" he rasped.

"I'm here."

"I was wrong. I chased you away. I betrayed you. I'm sorry."

He was working himself up. Ida placed a hand on his lips. "All is forgiven."

He relaxed into his pillow as he had not rested in days. "Death is with me," he said. "Stay with me. Sing. I would give anything--"

"Those days are past," she said. "I sing only for love."

The light in his eyes dimmed. "I understand. I don't deserve--"

But the Nightingale sang. A lullaby, low and sweet. A song of comfort. Of rest. Of peace. She had sung for kings and emperors, upon the greatest stages on the continent, but never had she sang like this. This song came from the depths her heart, her years of pain and brokenness turned golden with forgiveness. It filled that dark silence, chasing away shadows, keeping even death at bay.

Hans wept as he heard it--for the beauty of the song, for the dying man who laid back with more peace in his face than he'd known in weeks. Ida's tears flowed onto the deathbed, but still she sang, banishing the pain of the past and the fears of the future, keeping them all in a moment of timelessness.

One song led to another, another, another, until at last, the sun rose. Lord Felix slept like a child. There was color in his face.

Ida fell to the floor, fast asleep.

#

Hans brought Ida back into the sickroom. Felix was propped up on pillows, sitting upright for the first time in weeks.

"Stay with me, Ida," he said, as she knelt by his bed. "It won't be like last time. I'll marry you--"

"No," she said gently.

"I wronged you, I know, but I'll spend a lifetime making it up to you--"

"I am not made for this life," she said.

"You deserve every luxury--"

"A gilded cage is still a cage. I need the country. Fresh air. Open spaces. High society would be nothing but a prison to me."

"We could stay at the country places--"

"I escaped this life once. I won't go back."

Felix fell back against the pillows.

Ida rose to her feet. "You need a wife who fits into your world. Let me remain a friend."

"I am glad to call you one."

She stepped toward the door.

Felix reached toward her. "Can't you stay a bit longer?"

She smiled gently. "I'll come back. You need someone to give you news of the country."

"I would like that," Felix said.

With a smile, Ida stepped out the door. They heard her singing as she walked away.

Why are ruin and solar still adults? Is it because they weren't from this dimension, or was it a conscious choice?

(Eclipse needed help with the kids and he was like "yay, slavery")

[evolmyheart]

"Amaryyylliiiis," Star chimed over to her coworkers desk. "Five gold for your thoughts. Someone's been a bit distracted lately. You good?"

As if to confirm this observation, Amaryllis didn't even react to hearing her name. Star was right, she was a bit distracted. A lot had happened and she was just trying to process it all. She wasn't even doing anything really at her desk, just drawing circles on a piece of paper.

"H-Huh? Yea...the weather is nice today." She answered absentmindedly, clearly not actually listening to the question.

[numberonebidoofenjoyer]

Hey so. I read some of the Paldean news. And also some of your blog posts. I hear you took down a "Titan" pokemon all by yourself, and got a little Thunder-shocked in the process. I gave you one job, buddy. One job. 🤨 Aaaanyways. I hope you got medical attention for all that, and are maybe feeling a little better now? Shock burns aren't fun. :(

I, uh. I didn't realize there were pokemon like that in Paldea. Do you think they're related to...?

Yeah. Yeah he did. He’s something stupid crazy, you know, because who does that? Who cares about themselves that little?

Titan Pokémon are weird. Their growth is supposedly linked to Herba Mystica, along with a bonus strength of whatever. The thing is, they’re not meant to be eaten in large doses, so when they do, it gets bad. That’s why I give small, sand which shade bites to Ma-!

M-My Pokémon! Sorry about what happened, I’ll pass it along to him when we wakes up from the car crash!

forced to go to work when i'm truly meant to agonize over the underlying theme of adults failing the children they're meant to protect & nurture in scarvio.

This might be a stretch but the way they talked about Pyke being the main character made me think of this

idc if it's a stretch I LOVE this for pyke
