Prompts from here

Don’t worry about @dailyashleighraichu’s hat, it grew legs.

[duckapus]

So obviously by this point Ash's travels through Donanda are over since it's now been several months since the League and honestly he and Pikachu have kind of been aimless since then? Like, Jet decided to go to Sinnoh next, Miku's back on tour now that Team Chungus isn't after her anymore, but Ash is just Wandering. At first it wasn't so bad but by now when he's in his own world (which he probably isn't as much as he should be as an Avatar admittedly) he and Pikachu -and to a lesser extent Team Rocket- are sort of just going through the motions most days.

Enter Arceus with a Noble Quest for its Chosen One.

Apparently a neighboring reality is having some digital-multiverse-related issues and needs a Hero to deal with it, so it's sending in the two of them, as well as Gym Leader Peach and Argit from tecknically-not-an-Avatar Ben's universe (why it picked him of all people is beyond me) since Ash does his best work when he's got Companions. It also sends Team Rocket in because of course it does.

Anyway, this basically results in him traveling through a new Region, complete with new Pokemon and some sort of token-acquisition-test-of-skill-based tournament qualification system for him to partake in, just with extra steps and the caveat of him actively going out of his way to save the world instead of just stumbling into it like usual.

As for what he's saving it from, it involves one of RNG's experiments. Basically, a long time ago it found the extradimensional Bits of post-Turtles Forever '03 Shredder (since he got blasted by his own Multiverse Erasing Beam thing when he was defeated) floating around as code, and collected them to see if it could do anything interesting with them. Then it saw Andrew's Gauntlet turn into an Omnitrix during the vacation battle and was very interested. So, it revived Shredder, integrated an At-l0s based Omnitrix into his armor, added a few features, and dumped him into this side universe with a time dilation effect to see what would happen.

From Shredder's perspective, he wakes up in another world after seemingly erasing himself from existence with some new and very unusual technology integrated into his Exo-suit. Some of the extra features that RNG added include:

-RNG somehow made it so both his original Utrom form and a human form based on his Oroku Saki persona are considered his Default species simultaneously, so he can switch between them at will, alongside the 10 Aliens in his starting playlist which operate under the standard No Master Control rules. -The Exo-suit is now made of nanites supplied by the Omnitrix, so it's retractable and can become Shredder armor on any of his forms. -Comes equipped with a Hyperlink Portal Caster due to being an at-l0s based Omnitrix, though the time dilation is interfering with it currently. -Has an on-board sentient digital assistant, which he decides to name "Krang" for his own amusement.

Anyway, over the several years that he's stuck there (which for everyone outside is the months between the Vacation Arc and now) he recreates the Foot Clan and uses them to take control of the Region's criminal underbelly (as well as some of its legitimate infrastructure), learns how Pokemon work, delves into the secrets of the Omnitrix, studies Hyperlink Portals in the hopes of breaking past the interference and returning to his own universe so he can use all this new stuff to finally crush the Turtles, and seeks out the local Legendaries when he's got the time.

Arceus sent Ash and co. because Shedder's current schemes are getting dangerously close to potentially being able to destabilize the Pokemon Anime Server's space-time continuum. Not that it told them that since it doesn't know what over there is very probably gonna rip its multiverse a new one very soon so it's still up to them to actually investigate. It got rid of the time dilation since that's not supposed to be there, so they can come and go as they please like usual, but Shredder still can't get back to his own world yet since it's in Timmy's server and the Firewall Twins exist.

(yes, I've gone and given myself yet another whole region to make fakemon for when I've already got the Dark Arms project to deal with.)

Found a perfect excuse to draw blushing Volkner ! It's one of the first drawings I made of him, I was still figuring out how to draw him back then

[lore-grandma]

You know what?

My issue with the pikaclones aren’t the fact that they exist or that they’re objectively bad.

MY issue with them is that pikachu just HAS to be in every region. Like sure I guess some of the pikaclones could be evolved species of pikachu that became their own thing. But that would imply that pikachu’s have a reason to evolve into a whole new species. (Yes I know evolutions are part of the game but like think about it how people likely evolved from apes but we still have apes. No I am not a scientist and I don’t know how or why a whole species evolves from another.)

Ok questionable logic aside, I just think it’s just a waste to create a pikaclone but have it be immediately overshadowed by pikachu. Like besides whatever nostalgia reason behind it, if you were a child who was just getting into Pokemon would you choose the mascot or the angry hamster? Like you know in theory pikachu is good.

I think it’d make sense for pikachu to be really rare or just only be accessible via transferring pokemon from one to another. But that’s never the case. And I think that’s such a shame.

Also I don’t consider mimikyu to be a pikaclone, I would consider a pikachu clone to be an electric vaguely rodent creature.

when I was small and little, I wanted to call a future cat Blueberry. when I was slightly more grown up than that, I wanted to call a future cat Fortnight. when I was a little more grown up yet, I determined that future cats will be known as Petronilla and the Bug.

[thecubes]

i am inherently super uncool but i hope its part of my charm

[radrobotz]

does evolving a kirlia into a gardevoir or gallade (not game logic) depend on the gender or the sex what if you have a female kirlia but then it evolves into a gallade and its like well now i have to think about this

[logicallyblind]

I need a fic where robin!jason is the only one to notice baby stalker tim while they’re out on their patrols and it gets to the point where he’ll occasionally address him when he’s alone & around the others and they think he’s low-key going insane

fast forward a couple years and tim refers to something he saw while he was stalking batman and robin and jason’s head just WHIPS towards bruce and starts screeching “I TOLD YOU I WASN’T HALLUCINATING THE TINY STALKER CHILD FOLLOWING US B!! I FUCKING TOLD YOU I-“ and he has to be dragged out of the room by nightwing, still loudly proclaiming his vindication while tim and the others just watch on with the pikachu meme face

[artbyblastweave]

I've started Oblivion, and playing it basically blind to everything but the broad outline of the main story has been fantastic, because holy hell is this thing hitting the "put that guy in situations" button in a manner Skyrim only occasionally gestured at. I drop 10 gold on a room at a novelty inn set up in a refurbished permanently docked boat (escaped from jail and saw the emperor get assassinated three hours ago) (Need to level up before beginning my arduous journey to find his heir, can't do that without a bed, have been selling dead rats for money and this stupid boat was specifically called out as the cheapest option in the city) and wake up to find the entire thing's been hijacked and sailed out to sea, because the dipshit proprietor deliberately started a rumor that there was hidden treasure on his boat to attract business from adventurers and brigands, only to make a surprised Pikachu face when he attracts adventurers and brigands. I try to bluff my way through the first two guys by claiming I was a late hire to their group. They both believe me and immediately try to kill me to keep the payout a four-way split. I tell the third guy I killed the first two guys and he immediately tries to kill me to make the three-way split a two-way split. Four homicides and change later and we're back in dock at the Imperial City. What was any of that about. The Hero of Kvatch is not a man in control of his own life in any way shape or form and I like it that way

[shonen-brainrot]

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who, after a booze-fueled bash with the boys from Bakusquad, gets a wild idea to try something fresh with you — his precious, little girlfriend.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who engages in a slow make-out session with you, skillfully massaging your breasts, squeezing them from time to time through your t-shirt. He smirks and asks, "How about we let these extras have a taste of you?"

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who grins widely as you, super tipsy and turned on by his ministrations, enthusiastically agree with his idea, nodding your head. You're already rubbing your thighs together, feeling the warmth building between your legs.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who leaves you spread on the bed and leisurely takes a seat in a nearby chair. He watches as you play with yourself, ordering Kaminari with a commanding tone to be the first to make you feel good. The other boys are already aroused, observing your slow movements on the bed, hand slipped into your shorts, head lolling back as you pleasure yourself, all while envisioning being fucked by another guy as your boyfriend watches.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who sports a twisted grin as he watches Denki pull down your shorts and panties, tossing them aside before diving between your legs to eat your pretty little pussy out. Lapping at your folds and skillfully fingering you, Denki grinds his crotch against the bed, moaning pathetically as his cock grows hard within seconds. Your hand slips into his yellow hair, guiding him closer to your slick pussy , suffocating him with your folds.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who growls loudly at Denki, "Oi, Pikachu, fuck her already. I wanna see your cock stuffed in her."

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who grunts with anticipation as he watches Denki fucking you missionary, his movements sloppy and erratic. The yellow-haired guy is clearly intoxicated by the way your pussy clenches around his cock. Begging you to let him cum inside, you glance at Bakugo, who nods with a poker face while palming his growing erection through his pants. Kaminari grunts and comes inside you, trembling all over his body, showering you with all the praises.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who nods at Sero, and the black-haired guy doesn't need a second invitation. In the blink of an eye, he's on top of you, unbuckling his pants and engaging in a deep french kiss. Flipping you onto your stomach, you obediently follow, raising your ass up as he enters your pussy from behind, immediately setting a rough pace.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who licks his lips as he opens his fly to fish his cock from his pants. He strokes his shaft slowly, enjoying the sight of you gripping the sheets, whining loudly while Sero pounds you vigorously in a doggy style. Sero occasionally spanks your ass, rolling his head and panting like a dog in heat when your abused pussy clamps around his cock. Bakugo revels in the overwhelming sense of control and pride, feeling his chest swell with a mix of intoxicating, twisted emotions.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who grunts as Sero pulls out to finish on your ass after giving himself a few jerks. Then, Bakugo gives Kirishima a demanding glance, saying, "Come on, Eijiro, make my girl squirm on your fat cock."

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who licks his lips as he watches Kirishima join you on the bed. Kirishima touches your hips and waist gently, pecking your jawline and lips as he removes his pants. Red Riot lies flat on the bed and guides you on top of him in a reversed cowgirl position. Once his cock is stuffed into your slick, drenched pussy, he nudges you to lie flat against his chest. You oblige, stealing a brief glance at Bakugo, who is now fist-pumping his cock faster.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who can't stop growling through clenched teeth as he feels his balls tighten while he watches his best friend's cock slowly moving in and out of your pussy. The twisted position allows Kirishima to penetrate your cunny as deeply as possible. Kirishima kisses the column of your neck, fondling one of your breasts, while his balls slap hard against the curve of your ass. You also buck your hips, meeting his rhythm provocatively, whining and rubbing your clitoris viciously.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who cums hard at the same moment Kirishima does. Bakugo's cum covers his fist in a few spurts as he growls at Kaminari and Sero, commanding them to leave the room immediately. Once they comply, Bakugo gets up and walks to the bed, removing his pants. He dives between your legs, licking your clitoris and moving to your entrance where Kirishima's cock is still stuffed. Bakugo grasps Red Riot's cock and pulls it out of you, watching your juices and all the cum ooze out of your abused hole.

Dom boyfriend!Bakugo, who gives his best friend a head, moaning around Kirishima's cock. Once you roll off Kirishima and start making out with him, Bakugo finishes and moves up to kiss Kirishima slowly. The red-haired guy reciprocates the kiss, moaning passionately. After the kiss, Bakugo looks down at Red Riot and grunts, "You did so well, Eijiro. I guess you earned yourself another round. Let's make my... our girl cum again."

.・College Ellie Headcannons゜・

Note: This is more loser Ellie-centric, I wanna maybe do a part two with just reader and her. Some sexual content and mentions of getting zooted below so 18+ warning!

•Art major, but she’s not the typical hot artsy lesbian you dream of her to be. More like rolls a fat blunt and sketches in her journal, it’ll either turn out to be a masterpiece or look like a crackhead had a go with her paper.

•Speaking of art major, when she’s horny and frustrated because she refuses to hook-up…she draws the lewdest art known to woman-kind. Those are her real masterpieces, but she can’t exactly turn them in for credit in her art class, can she? Fuck, the things that woman can make, though. Lowkey uses her exes naked bodies as inspiration though, maybe kind of weird but who’s gonna stop her?

•Doesn’t eat the food on campus half the time. She is embarrassingly addicted to Tai Pei containers and the occasional microwavable egg-roll. “That shit’s nasty, Ellie! Goddamn, just eat the Tacos 4 Life we have on campus.” Her friends will all tell her, but no. It’s like a guilty pleasure. Maybe it’s cause she grew up lower class and is used to TV dinners, has a special trauma bond to food that should be banned and probably is outside of America.

•Wardrobe consists of band tees, honorable mentions to Gorillaz and Falling in Reverse.

•Is actually an insanely talented writer. After reading her journals I feel like nobody talks about how emotional her entries are and she keeps a journal of her own in college for sure, not only for sketching and organizing art but also to write all her feelings out.

“Fuck me, this is my last year being gay.” -After her and Cat’s break-up, probably.

•Hates coffee. Definitely game-cannon, but this is important to the college setting. It’s the classic Monster or nothing, and she will absolutely judge you for drinking coffee. She calls it “the devil’s dirt.” So dramatic.

•Used to watch bad Hallmark movies because of Dina, now watches them alone because she misses Dina. There’s nothing like crying your eyes out to Christmas Under Wraps!

•Has a collection of rubber ducks on her shelf. Doesn’t use her very small space for normal things like her wallet or books, no. It’s rubber fucking ducks.

•Also has a slipper collection in her tiny closet, from Pikachu all the way to dinosaur feet.

•Has the “two-seater” t-shirt (iykyk) but refuses to wear it in public because she’s a pussy

•Favorite fruit is grapes. I just know my girl loves grapes when she can get her hands on them steer clear bc she will NOT share. Favorite candy is gummy worms!

•Actually wears rain boots when it’s wet outside or snowing

•Likes wired earbuds over airpods, listens to Pearl Jam when she misses living with Joel

•Is oddly good at making those little paper stars and has a huge grocery bag of then in all different patterns and colors

•When she starts dating you she shows you her dinosaur cookie-cutter collection because you're really good at baking. (Also bc she wants to see you in a frilly cute apron!)

•Is a slut for hugs. Kisses are cool, sex is great but agghhh Ellie just loves wrapping her arms around you and sometimes when you two are in her dorm she'll just hug you for what feels like hours on end, she calls it her 'weekly therapy.'

•Loves high sex because when she's sober she hates feeling like she's awkward or all up in her head. She also has a tendency to invite you over for sex after smoking.

•Has a septum piercing. Maybe this one is self-indulgent because I would go ballistic over seeing actual Ellie with one, but I say that college Ellie got hers pierced at 16 and didn't cry over the pain but wanted to literally jump off of a bridge the entire healing process it was so bad.

•Sometimes when you kiss her, her septum will slide over and look uneven and she feels fucking NIGERIA FALLS in her boxers when you fix it for her. Also for those of you who are sluts for glasses, you can fix her glasses too and it'll make her just as weak.

ayato aishi dating a yandere!reader hcs

sfw. warnings: yandere & obsessive behavior, jealousy, mentions of elimination of rivals, etc.

author’s note: this was also posted on my wattpad, just wanted to tell you all that beforehand, so no need to worry!

• when he realized that you were the same as him, ayato turned into the surprised pikachu meme, just looking at you all like: (ʘᗩʘ')

• but how did ayato find out, exactly? well...it took him a good few days to connect the dots fully. he didn't suspect you to be a yandere until well into dating you, that's when he started noticing things. a few of his shirts and other garments were missing— which is to be expected— but when he asked you about them, you pretended like you had no clue what happened to them which further deepened his curiosity. next, ayato began to pick up on things like whenever he wouldn't be hanging out with you and would be out doing whatever, he'd miraculously bump into you. quite the coincidence, isn't it? that's what ayato tried to chalk it up to at first but soon found out that you were following him around.

• soooo, one day when you were out of your house with your family, ayato took it upon himself to snoop

— he climbed into the window leading into your bedroom and practically turned the place upside down. of course, he was careful. he didn't want to give off the impression to you, along with your family, that he was ever here. ayato started by going through your drawers and found some of his clothes stashed inside (which he may or may not have stolen back) before opening your closet where he came face to face with a shrine dedicated to him.

— it was nothing compared to his, sure, but it was still impressive. not only that, but you had printed out some photos of him and littered them around the shrine.

• after he was looking through things, he left with his stolen clothes in tow but when you got back home and returned to your room, you felt something was off because of one thing that caught your attention: the window was open, something you definitely weren't responsible for. afraid that one of your parents was in your room or worse, you began looking around only to find that ayato's shirts and boxers that you had taken a while back had disappeared. scoffing, you pulled out your phone and texted him: "were you in my room??"

— ayato, as expected, tried to deny this but you easily saw through this act of his because you were well aware of the fact that before you agreed to be his girlfriend, he was stalking you. what followed was a conversation where both of you just let things hang out and confessed to a slew of things, you more so than ayato but luckily, you two continued to date after this (but it's not like either one of you would let the other leave willingly).

• you and ayato constantly vie for each other's attention, engaging in elaborate schemes to outdo one another in displays of affection; from leaving love notes hidden in unexpected places to planning extravagant surprises.

• you two are fiercely protective of each other, to the point where you may occasionally clash with anyone they perceive as a threat to your relationship

— ayato is more physical about it though. there will be times when he'll show up at your doorstep all bruised and bloody. he loves how worried you look when you help clean him up! even more when you pout, thinking he was the one who got hurt, and embrace him in a hug as you play with his hair

— when you get jealous over someone, it's the complete opposite. you're vocal about it, maybe not to ayato, but to the person you view as a rival. so, when you find them the next day at school, you'll outright tell them that ayato is your boyfriend. if they continue to be a problem, that's when you'll take things to the next level and eliminate them.

• both of you are skilled manipulators, adept at bending others to their will, testing each other's boundaries, and pushing the limits of control but they would only do the latter to their partner. though, there is really a 50/50 chance that their manipulation and gaslighting would work on another.

• anyway, good luck dating each other because you can't leave haha 🫡

[grimark]

that's the bit ur shocked about? faggot.

girl why are you lying

[citruslullabies]

what about platonic swansea or anya hcs?

Of course darling!!

Swansea Mouthwashing

Platonic (completely!!)

Pre-crash Swansea:

Depending on your job, he is either going to ignore you or talk down to you at first

He's really just a tired old man, don't pay him any mind

But he'll eventually warm up to you in a fatherly manner

The occasional pat on the back or asking you to hold a flashlight for him

For the love of God. Hold. Still.

But if you're friends with Daisuke, which lets face it, you probably are

He probably warms up to you a little faster

Swansea is annoyed by Daisuke sometimes sure, but he's like family

And seeing you two goof around, it brings a small smile to his face

.. untillll he barks orders at you guys

Classic dad behavior

You and Daisuke were goofing around with tools and such, with Daisuke pretending to be a Pikachu with a faulty electrical wire he was supposed to be fixing. You snorted while leaning back and grabbing a wrench, pretending to be a Cubone and gently bop him on the head. Swansea watched from a distance, sighing from how early it was but smiling at how you two managed to make anything a game. Even if you both got side-tracked by it. He cleared his throat and returned to a neutral expression, putting a hand on his hip. "Both of you get back to work! You two and your stupid pokemon.." he'd grumble, watching you both scurry back to work. Both of you were his idiots.

He also will not understand any references at all you make

"pop off queen" "what the fuck did you just say to me??"

He's a goofy old man and we love him

He's also super defensive over you and Daisuke

You guys are like his kids

Post-crash Swansea:

He's more on edge

He tries to look out for you and Daisuke, but he's only one guy

When he comes across that cyropod.. he's hoping that you and Daisuke can both squeeze in.

And his sobriety goes down the drain

Some nights he'll cry to you when you're alone

He'll say that he wasted his life away and never did anything to impact the world

And no matter how much you comfort him, he sobs more and more.

He is losing it

And whenever he loses Daisuke, shit goes down the drain

And whenever Jimmy gets the gun.. to Swansea's horror, Jimmy ended up shooting you in the stomach

He couldn't even help you in time

He feels shitty in his final moments.

How he couldn't help Anya, how he couldn't help Daisuke, and how he couldn't help you

At least he doesn't have to worry about if you and Daisuke can fit in the pod together anymore

Thanks for requesting darling!

.𖥔 ݁ ˖🛸── .✦Arcade

genre: fluff ; soul x gn reader cw none wc 921

────────────

It started with a text.

[Soul: arcade at 7 (,,>ヮ<,,)!?]

[You: Ofc! I’ll meet you there!♥️]

When you arrived, he was already waiting, sitting in one of the wire chairs inside the arcade gift shop, hunched over his phone, thumbs tapping a game you didn’t recognize. His platinum blonde hair glowed softly under the fluorescent lights, messy as ever. When he noticed you, he looked up.

And there it was that subtle, sparkly look he always gave you like you were his favorite part of the day.

You grinned, walking up to him and running your hand gently through his hair. His smile widened a little as he stood, and before either of you said a word, his arms slipped around your torso, his head nuzzling into your hand like it belonged there.

“Hi baby,” you murmured, brushing your thumb along his cheek. “You ready to play?”

He didn’t speak, just gave a small, happy sound, nodding into your touch before pulling away to hand you a neat stack of tokens.

Side by side, you wandered into the arcade, shoulders brushing, bodies close in that natural, easy way the two of you always seemed to fall into.

He led you to a two-player shooter game and quietly slid a token into your machine before seating himself beside you. The screen flared to life with neon zombies, chaotic effects, and music far too intense for a plastic gun game.

You screamed when one of the bosses lunged, laughing through your panic. Soul made the occasional noise, but you caught the quiet twitch at the corner of his mouth. He was enjoying this,not the game, but you, the way you laughed too loud and kept aiming in the wrong direction. He let out a soft chuckle when you both finally died at level six.

“We were doing so good…” you sighed, placing the gun down dramatically.

He laughed again,louder than the music this time, and stood. With no hesitation, he held his hand out for you. You took it instantly, letting him pull you to your feet, fingers warm, grip gentle.

Next: the dance game.

The moment you saw it, you both made a beeline for it. “You’re gonna destroy me!” you said between fits of laughter.

Soul spoke up. “I believe in you, N/N.” His smile was big and sincere.

The music started.

You danced like an uncoordinated whirlwind. Soul was only marginally better, and soon enough, you tripped over your own feet and collided into him, nearly knocking you both to the ground. He caught you, hands steady on your arms, and you both erupted into laughter, loud enough to get a few playful glares from nearby players.

Breathless, still grinning, you straightened yourself up. “We’re so bad at this.”

He only nodded, eyes twinkling.

Then came the claw machines.

You wandered over, spotting a slightly lopsided Pikachu plush wedged against the glass wall. You pointed at it. “Do you want it?”

He turned, eyes following your finger,and the light in them sparked immediately, wide and childlike. You didn’t hesitate, already slipping a token into the slot.

First try. Miss

Second try. Closer

Third try. The claw caught it, lifted, swayed… and dropped it perfectly into the prize chute.

You both gasped, grinning like kids. You squealed, reaching down to grab it before turning and gently placing it in his arms.

“For you,” you said with a grin.

He looked down at the plush, then at you, glowing with something soft and full. “Thank you, N/N,” he said, voice laced with affection.

And then, without warning, he wrapped his arms around you again and peppered your face with soft, rapid kisses,cheeks, nose, forehead, everywhere.

You shrieked with laughter, scrunching your nose as you tried to dodge his random affection attack. “Soul!! That tickles!”

He only grinned harder, burying his face into your neck for one final kiss before pulling back, content.

The rest of the night blurred into tokens and colors and laughter, matching keychains, five more plushies somehow won, fingers brushing near the pinball machine, the warm comfort of being beside him.

Eventually, you stepped out into the cool night air, arms full of prizes, cheeks sore from smiling. You walked together in silence, quiet in a way that felt safe and full.

When you reached the spot where you’d part ways, you both stopped.

You turned to him, raising your hand gently to push the hair from his face, letting your palm cup his cheek. He leaned into it instinctively.

“I had a lot of fun,” you whispered, afraid anything louder might break the moment.

He hummed, nodding. His eyes flicked to your lips, then back to your eyes.

You chuckled under your breath and leaned in, slotting your lips softly against his. He kissed you back instantly, head tilting, his hand (the one not holding three plushies) finding your waist and rubbing soft circles without thinking.

It was slow. Sweet. Warm.

When you finally pulled back, both of you were breathless, flushed. He rested his forehead against yours.

“I love you,” you said softly.

His voice barely made it past his lips, but you heard it. “I love you too.”

You gave him one last kiss on the crown of his head before stepping away, still holding his hand until the last possible moment.

When you got into your car, your phone buzzed.

[Soul: Same time next week (｡·  v  ·｡) ?]

You laughed, heart full.

[You: I’d love to (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧]
