#response to concept/idea thing

[your-local-lakewood-dragoness]

I found your AU post through tags and I'd love love love to see something like that. It's such an interesting concept and I'd cry happy tears if it got fleshed out

I forgot to add that part from that post but COB DANG IT I crave LFTTE ("Let's Fight to The End") bad ending angst (grimdark if that's allowed) AND whump!!! OK KO community I am on. MAH. KNEES.

Get 👏🏻 To 👏🏻 It

what's with the sudden "anti" obsession??

not very active lately so it's a little surprising, especially since both your and fox-guardian's versions are different than the og "anti-tulpar" au and all

not complaining or anything just a little confused and curious

Don't even worry about it.

lots of misc sketches of varying quality 4 you

similar cinematographic choices to portray the same imagery with insanely different circumstantial contexts

The second fic idea is a what-if scenerio where Jimmy dies in the crash due to and altercation with Curly and how Curly would navigate being Captain once he has to notice the little things and how he and Anya's relationship develop as he adopts an identical view point to hers rather than just keeping the peace.

And maybe i will write it but only time will tell tbh but it's stuck in my brain dome for the time being.

Hiya! Osha Anon here!

I tried to send this ask before but I fear Tumblr may have eaten it so I'll try again.

We all know Sunta's workshop ain't passing an Osha inspection, but what about the Slasher AU boy's arcade?

Everything up to code? 📋🤔

-Osha Anon 👷

Sun: Ah! Osha Anon!! 😬😬 I wasn’t expecting you today… oh no! It’s perfectly fine, fine, fine! Go ahead…. have a look around! 👀 We keep everything in TIP-TOP shape for our patrons and staff alike, I assure you! 👍 No exposed wiring, no skeletons in the closet—at least not in that closest. Ah ha ha…. ha… ehem. Have you seen the vintage carpet? 🤩 Marvelous isn’t it? Hyponotic even.

You want to talk to our employees 😅 oh suuuure… yes, I suppose you have to, don’t you. They say the… quirkiest things sometimes, just so you know 😬 LOVE to joke about my colleague Mr. Moon and me. Have this running silly fantasy that we’re murderer clowns that go out hunting at night! Hee hee—such creativity! We play along sometimes 🤭 chase them around the arcade—UH—VERY SAFELY, that is, very safely… only got stuck in the play tunnels ONE TIME ☝️.

speaking off the other electric type gym leaders, do you think clemont would know them? do you think the other members of the league knew about the crisis? do you think they wanted to do something to help? and if they do know each other, do you think post crisis some of them made a beeline to kalos?

and if your au also sets in the galar/kalos is part of the same island mass theory, do you think they heard what was happening and wanted to get involved or something? because... you know the sub-theory that the war was between Kalos and Galar

-⚡ (my personal headcanon is that they do know each other and that volkener and clem have a sorta petty rivalry between inventors. (siebold and clemont too. but thats more silly because professional chef working in a fine dining setting, vs a teenage who maybe sleeps in his own gym and probably lives off instant noodles when he isn't cooking for others.))

Hmm, for me, I would say he has a passing knowledge of them? Like that academy he went to probably covered some notable Type users and all that, and when he was fiddling around on the web for inspiration/appliances/going on the Pokemon equivalent of eBay and checking out antiques, he's seen their name around. Similarly, Gym Leaders from other regions would've heard of Clemont (moreso as the rising young Gym Leader who's also a great inventor) and were like 'cool, what an inspiration to young folk everywhere' and proceed to forget about him. Clemont isn't very sociable, and while he was enamoured by the stuff other Gym Leaders, especially Electric Type users, would've done (like amusement park by Elesa or whatever zany thing Volkner made up on the spot), he was much too shy about it. Easier to just reverse-engineer it and figure out how it ticks from the safety of his own (totally not safe for his back) room. And then he had his problem with the Gym and you know the drill.

It's most probably after the whole journey that he mustered the courage to talk to the others and connect with the other Gym Leaders all around the world heh. Throughout the journey he became more aware of the Gym Leaders in Kalos and actually got to know them well (and through the Crisis everyone got to know each other better), and that kickstarted Clemont's desire to see how everyone else was like.

Surge would be a bit dismissive until he heard about the Crisis and Clemont's role in it (he would totally break down at that and just care for him so much, I can tell you that). Very tough love but also a great listener, makes sure that he's keeping well and not getting too lost in his work.

Wattson is just going to be a crazy grampa in the corner isn't he lol. But yeah, very much going to push him into 'renovating' Prism Tower into a death trap (but a fun one!) and telling him to have fun (he knows about the Crisis and this is his way of helping him, but to be honest he would've said this regardless). May or may not have a rivalry with Volkner, in which...

Volkner is just a little (a very tiny miniscule) impressed by Clemont. But would not say it. He expects so much more than that, don't you know, that's just childs play and if he was really into it he would've done so much more. They both have petty squabbles but then five minutes later they are dragged away by their Luxray from taking down particle colliders or smth idk.

Elesa had a very superficial relationship with him before, having met through friends-of-a-friend kind of deal. They make small talk, try to connect, and then after some time one of them admit something deep and then boom, penpals lol. She bugs him for good fashion in Kalos and he gets her back by requesting schematics of various mechanical attractions in Unova. Basically trading for their interests while also having some support on the side :3

Sophocles is totally roasting him online the first time they meet. They both get into this thread where they argue about something that they totally forgotten and just go on and on until they actually meet face to face. It's a love-hate relationship with collabs and everything, and they will simmer down one day. Eventually. Hopefully. (Soph has heard of the Crisis and done so much study but has not connected two and two and two together with Clem and also with a certain Ash having just come out from there. He's busy, okay?)

Iono scares him but he doesn't say it outloud. Very interesting with the whole livestream! Just not being on the livestream. He's also interested in those Magnemite hairclips and the concept of Terastallization but maybe he better make sure he's not broadcasted on 10 million screens before talking to her.

Going to be honest here and say that's the first time I've ever heard of that theory myself, but then again I haven't dived too deeply about it. Most of the ones I've saw were about how Kalos had an internal war (this is a great one btw heh), which made sense to me, although I do like the idea of Galar going up against Kalos (especially with the gimmicks and the problems they faced). Hoenn is definitely connected to the Crisis itself and has offered aid, and ngl I feel like most of the regions are nice enough to try to help at this point, since either they went through their own problems beforehand or have that feeling of foreboding that they are next. The Pokemon World is very idealistic in that sense! People do tend to travel around, so there are a lot of connections all over the world.

woke up like 40 mins ago at like 4:30 unable to fall back alseep so im once again thinking about ragatha and pomni as The Ocd Havers. its everything to me. oh whoops i ran out of tags on this post

[rivilu]

One side effect of the autistic sense of justice for me is going insane over justice and vengeance as concepts in themselves whenever applicable in media.

Which unfortunately means that thinking about justice dragon age for too long (especially with the post inq takes on spirits) makes me want to rip my hair out.

Wrt LRB sometimes I'm so baffled by what people bother to ask me because my charitable assumption will be an image in my mind of the results of a search query using keywords in that question and what failures may have occurred in the transfer of information and I'll start talking like "What did you search for this? When I used [keywords] the results seemed pretty self-explanatory." Or like idk. Baseline I'll assume they've read some Bullshit that comes up when u search something. There are multiple things in this world if you use the most self-evident english search queries for you will just get misinformation. So maybe then I'll start talking as to counter those points instead and they're sooo lost and I'm like ??? and they're like I didn't bother to look it up I didn't search for any texts on this subject. And I'm like. How the fuck can you expect me to have a conversation about this then? We have to like. Have a baseline of implicit assumptions of understanding to talk about this how do you not CARE about that???

[koterkot]

i'm probably a system but i have a job so idrc about that rn

[light-wrath-paradise]

Kinda fucked up how all the people I know are like "Yeah I know what I want in my life. I want to work in X field and I want/don't want a long-term partner who I'm going to marry, I want kids and-"

and I'm there just like 🧍

[doctahchang]

would like to know the lore of my own oc that i have had for like ten years

edit: found an old sketch of her... i basically drew her for the first time eons ago and haven't changed her design ever since (sad that i won't be able to find those drawing again)

I have another random thing I would like to share that I’m like, 80% sure I created, but I might have just stolen it from someone else, I don’t remember. But I’ve also convinced myself it’s real when I don’t think it is

Anyways, so: spark pulses (at least that’s the tentative name for it)

Basically the idea is that two bots who share some sort of bond (though not necessarily one as deep as a Conjunx, Amica or creator/sparkling) can basically send “pulses” to each other, which essentially translates to them checking in on the other’s well-being, and/or as a form of small comfort

I don’t know how to specifically describe the pulses, but they’re something like a pulse is sent out by one, and then the other, usually rather quickly, sends another back in response. Also, it probably sounds like the sound the Unowns make in the opening to Pokémon Crystal, if that gives a better visual. But the pulse also isn’t an actual noise? It’s not something someone can hear. There’s also no specific words that come with the pulse, just feelings. But it also is like, some form of noise, along with the emotions. I don’t know, I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like a thought or visualizing something in your mind, it’s not 100% tangible like words or pictures and hard to explain

I should stop trying to explain what they are because I know I don’t know how to. Hopefully that gave enough of a picture though

But yeah, it’s basically just a “hey are you doing okay?” sort of thing, I think I already explained its role succinctly enough above. It’s a nice thing to do for someone you have a bond with, but it’s a relatively small thing

Pulses are almost always answered, but there are cases where they aren’t, the main two being that one is intentionally closing themselves off from the other, probably as a part of cutting ties with them, or the other is physically unable to respond. This does not include one being in stasis/recharge, so more likely reasons are either death or one is in some form of lockdown or in a location where they just can’t reply back and/or get the initial pulse. But someone not responding to a spark pulse, unless there’s very good reason for them not to, is considered deeply concerning

Also responding is like, a semi-conscious thing. People are aware they got a pulse and are responding to it, but they aren’t specifically thinking about if they’re sending a response back or what specifically to send, they just do. It isn’t uncommon for people who’ve recently broken off from one another to instinctively respond to a spark pulse when they didn’t want to

Though in addition to an emotional benefit, the pulses can pose some form of medical benefit as well, as they’re easy ways to tell the health of another’s spark. For example if the pulse is weak or distorted, that usually indicates something is wrong with that spark (though how wrong depends on the level of different it is to normal). Granted, it’s not exactly the recommended method of checking a spark’s health in the medical field, because it relies on a bond to work, and more likely than not, the medic does not know the patient well enough to send them a pulse themselves, and asking a friend for a check-up when they probably wouldn’t know what the spark distortions mean isn’t the most professional, they can have their machines check for spark issues instead

Though distortions can also be an indication of carrying, as when a carrying spark pulses, the newspark mimics the pulse as well, albeit much weaker. However, it isn’t always the most noticeable, as the newspark’s pulse can be so small it goes unnoticed, or its timing will be so close to the carrier’s that it can just be seen as a slight delay or echo on the main spark’s part, or not even be noticeable as a difference. Though it becomes much more noticeable as its own separate thing as it grows

And I think that’s all I have for spark pulses. I don’t know if I explained it super well, but you know, I think the concept’s neat at least
