thank you for He! hope youve been doing well

Hehehe ty! I’ve been good. Funnily enough my hyperfixations have wrapped back around to an AU where a Pokemon Guy Is A Creature(tm) just with a different character lol. But I’m always getting notifs for this blog so it had me thinkin abt the funny train guy + I REALLY HOPE Emmet is in Z-A. But yeah I’ve been good!!! ❤️

Ma there's a weird fucking deer outside

Where I’ve been

Hoooo, boy. Howdy, folks! I felt like I at least owed y’all a bit of an explanation as to what happened to this blog. As you may have expected, I’m not going to be returning to this AU any time soon (probably) and so this blog will be dead for the foreseeable future. Perhaps not forever, but I’m getting better about making promises I know I can’t keep lol.

It’s mostly down to a lack of interest, cycling out of Submas as my current hyperfixation and all. But I would be lying if I said the “incident” wasn’t partially a deciding factor as well. I am an incredibly conflict-averse person, and while that whole situation was decidedly chill by internet standards it was still enough to make me feel discomfort with interacting with this side of the fandom. Take that as you will…

Mostly, though, I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who interacted with and enjoyed this AU and blog. Y’all are seriously amazing, and it puts a huge smile on my face knowing that people still like my posts and come back here even after not posting for a year. If, for whatever reason, you want to see more of my art and goofy antics, my main blog is @pollyanna-nana and my art blog is @pollyannawog (I’m currently fixated on Sonic the Hedgehog, lmao).

But really, thank you all so much. And even if our tracks may diverge from here, thank you for accompanying me so far towards your destination. May you have safe travels!

Oh, hey y’all! Long time no see, huh...? ^^;;;

Thanks for all the messages and well wishes! I am fine, just busy with a summer job and various video games... Being totally transparent, I have been working on the next part of the au, just... verrrrrrrry slowly. It will come out one day, but I’m not going to give a solid time because I know I won’t meet it! Thanks for your continued interest and I hope everyone’s having a lovely summer/end of their school year!

[godonthetraintracks]

Eyo you doing good? Just busy or something? It’s been a while since any updates. Just checking in. Hope you’re doing okay!

AHAHHA yea I’m good! Finals + shifts in brainrot means I haven’t had much time for this blog but hopefully when my summer break starts I’ll have some new stuff! Thanks for asking 💖

I just realized that as Legends takes place in the 1800s, Unova must have rebelled against Galar.

Laventon is probably super confused that Arcmet is apparently a Yankee lol

This ask is so amazingly funny to me because like. Well first of all, assuming that Unova and Galar have a similar history to the real life US and UK (which… is debatable I think?) I don’t think modern day New Yorkers talk like Americans did back during the revolutionary war so? But this raises amazing questions like. Does the rest of the Pokémon world dunk on Galar for being colonizers? Did Unovans dump polteagiest in the harbor? Pokepolitics man.

Howdy folks! Apologies for the slow down on content lately, I’ve been verrrrrry busy with finals and such. I’m super happy to share what I’ve been working on, though! As a way to wrap up the events of Wayward Cave and give some context to the next series of comics (which will be shorter, at least for the next “arc” I have planned) I wrote a fic interlude! It has some drawings, too. Check it out and let me know what you think!

So, how does Emmet handle basic rooming now.I 'm curious if he has to Polish the Lord Ring, or sharpen/dull its spines every once in awhile.

Grooming is more complicated now, for sure. Having a second set of legs you can’t reach due to having a giant ring on your midsection is not very fun. I think, the ring does get dull and dirty, it doesn’t tarnish but it doesn’t stay naturally shiny like it did for Arceus. Cue the Brasso, to keep it looking nice!

[Image ID: A greyscale comic with four panels. Professor Laventon offers a cup of coffee to Emmet, who is crying tears of joy.

Laventon: “Right. Here we are, chap! I prefer tea, so I didn’t bring any coffee beans with me. luckily, Ginter of the Gingko Guild loves the stuff!”

Emmet, accepting the coffee: “Thank you sooooo much omg.”

Laventon: “You should be able to get more from him from now on. Enjoy!”

Professor Laventon closes his eyes and smiles. Emmet throws his head back, chugging the coffee. Moments later, he swings forward, spitting out the coffee in Laventon’s face with a loud “PTTHHHHH”.

Laventon is speechless, coffee now dripping down his face with eyes wide.

Emmet looks grossed out, shaking slightly: “I-I am Emmet. I am sorry. I forgot I cannot drink black coffee.” He mutters, “Huuurgh, sooooo gross…” /.End ID]

According to a comic and some historical research done by the tumblrite betasuppe, there's actually every chance that coffee's been introduced to Hisui, but, in their words, "didn’t catch on since it tasted so bitter." Checking with the Ginko Guild could be a verrrry good life choice for him, since I'm sure that, as traveling merchants, they run on black tea and other high-caffeine drinks!

Verrrrrry nice observations! Hopefully he can find enough cream and sugar to make it palatable.

Which of the Nobels is the most friendly with Emmet? And which is the least friendly?

Wyrdeer is the most friendly with Emmet, for sure. He thinks Emmet’s a bit odd, as does everyone, but he can tell he means no harm. Out of all the ride Pokémon, he’s the one Emmet talks to the most (and has given him advice on how to best use those new legs of his). I see Wyrdeer as having a bit of a kind, but stern Grandfatherly personality. So, while I left it kind of vague the conversation he had with Emmet in Wayward Cave pt 1 included advice on how to navigate the strained relationship between him and Ingo. Of course, it ended up not mattering so much once Ingo told him he wanted Emmet to come with!

As for the least friendly noble, that’s easily Sneasler. No question. The other nobles are suspicious of him to varying degrees, but Sneasler is the only one outright hostile to him. It’s a consequence of being overprotective of Ingo, because Emmet’s interest in him activates those mamma weasel instincts, lol. Someday they will hopefully have a heart-to-heart and come to an understanding of some kind, but that has yet to happen. It’s a shame really, because if Emmet hadn’t come to Hisui looking like…. That, Sneasler would likely have become just as attached to him as she was with Ingo.

As I’ve said previously, Emmet has yet to meet any of the non-ride nobles, but I can give a few tid-bits on how they would likely treat him:

Kleavor: Suspicious of Emmet, but careful not to say anything too accusatory just in case Emmet really is Master Arceus. Often the level-headed voice of reason among the stronger personalities of the other nobles.

Lilligant: Actually quite likes him and believes Emmet is Arceus without question. This means that she doesn’t see him as Emmet, though, but it works out better for him than if she were suspicious, I suppose.

Arcanine: Arcanine is new to this whole “being a Noble” thing, so he’s a little nervous around Emmet since he’s only had limited experience with Arceus to begin with. It’s like if your professor was replaced with a different, but highly similar person on the second day of classes. Do you say anything or do you just go with it? Arcanine just goes with it.

Electrode: Electrode doesn’t trust Emmet farther than they can throw him, which isn’t very far considering they don’t have hands. They aren’t particularly appreciative of Emmet’s treatment of Melli, even though they know their Warden kind of deserves it. They’re the most likely to raise objections to decisions made in Emmet’s favor.

Avalugg: Avalugg is more or less unconcerned with the whole situation. The way he sees it, whether or not Emmet is Arceus doesn’t affect their responsibilities, so it’s pointless to argue over it until he does something that warrants their attention. For now, Emmet is just Vibing, so Avalugg doesn’t see much reason to question the decision-making process of his Almighty Creator.

Being in a time and place with no coffee and caffeinated sodas must suck so bad

[godonthetraintracks]

Somewhat tempted to name my Arceus I just caught to Emmet thanks to this AU

OH MAN, how flattering! If you did be sure to show me!

[godonthetraintracks]

The creation trio go to a pronoun store

Arceus pulls into the pronoun drive-through as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina cheer. They order one they/it and leave.

God, now I'm thinking about those horse pedicure videos on YouTube. Give Emmet a spa day, hoove care included.

Spa day, but instead of those hoof shavers they have to use this:

[godonthetraintracks]

Poor emmet not even his hat was safe from aceus

For real though, THAT was an instance of Arceus having a vanity moment, lmao. What? You have a hat with a logo on it? Lemmie just.... fix that.... okay, better. I guess from their perspective, Emmet should be grateful to carry their symbol.

[godonthetraintracks]

In regards to Emmet's sleep situation, can he sleep like this?

(Excuse the bad art, I was in a hurry)

OKAY I LOVE THIS, and theoretically yes (I'm sure he's tried before) but it would be an absolute nightmare on his spine. Imagine bending over backwards in half like this! Would not be very comfortable.
