more on this...

lusamine has her claws thoroughly hooked into guzma; she is a beautiful, powerful woman and he is a naive, vulnerable and completely disposable man who has been crying out for recognition from his superiors since he was a little boy. she drip feeds him information about the true nature of her research and this makes him feel special. plumeria knows guzma like the back of her hand and although she may not know what lusamine is up to, she knows that it cannot be good if she is paying team skull to do her dirty work. she tries to tell this to guzma, but he does not want to hear it. lusamine knows from what guzma has told her that plumeria is clever, does not trust her, and could be a potential spanner in the works.

when lillie runs away with cosmog, lusamine becomes impatient and unhinged. she sets guzma on the task of sniffing out her daughter (or more importantly, cosmog) but when lillie is eventually found, she gives the order for plumeria, not guzma, to bring them back to the paradise. at this point lusamine is desperate to meet with plumeria in person to see how big a problem she is. plumeria has also become incredibly curious to meet lusamine in person to see exactly what kind of force she and guzma are dealing with. when the two meet, lusamine observes straight away from plumeria's attitude that she will not be controlled like guzma. plumeria immediately realises that she has been summoned to the paradise to be 'scoped out' and that lusamine is even more of a dangerous manipulator than she first thought. they part ways incredibly wary of each other.

plumeria immediately returns to po town to tell guzma that she 100% does not trust this woman, only to find that guzma has just left for the paradise himself.

with cosmog now back at the paradise, lusamine rips open a huge wormhole in the sky above alola and guzma obediently follows her into it. despite having just screwed her over, plumeria seeks out lillie for answers because she is scared for guzma.

guzma saw all sorts of things in lusamine. a mother figure, hard work, wealth, intelligence, beauty, gentleness, discipline. i can’t imagine his relationship with own mother is all that healthy. nor do i imagine he has a very mature understanding of adult (and sexual) relationships. lusamine represents all of those things to him, but none are the full explanation for why lusamine captivates guzma so much. when a guy like guzma catches the attention of a woman like lusamine, it is hard not to be drawn in like a moth to a flame. guzma has never met a woman even close to what she is. the power dynamic between them resembles grooming; guzma may be a grown man but he never really had a chance to grow up and lusamine knows this. lusamine is 100% playing guzma like a fiddle for her own gain and is using his blatant idolisation of her and desperation for validation to her own advantage. guzma really believes that lusamine thinks he is special.

after the events in the ultra wormhole, plumeria confronts guzma about her meeting with lusamine. in the immediate aftermath, guzma breaks down and tells plumeria how he felt true fear in that wormhole and realised that lusamine did not care about anyone other than herself. plumeria is relieved to hear guzma come to his senses. 

but soon enough, guzma is sucked right back in again. he talks himself out of those feelings and reaches straight back out to lusamine, starts defending her actions again and resisting plumeria as she attempts to talk some sense back into him. they argue. plumeria tells guzma he is stupid. guzma tells plumeria she is jealous. they say things they cannot take back. they go their separate ways and team skull pretty much dries up in their absence. guzma moves back in with his parents for a short time. when this doesn’t work out, he is taken in by hala (and hau sort of becomes his bro).

so i’m doing a lot of lusamine/team skull thinking because their association is not very clear in the games and guzma’s devotion to lusamine’s cause is kind of fascinating to me

we know at some point lusamine becomes a benefactor to team skull for reasons that are not explained very well in the games. i figured that a way for this to make sense is if she knows that gladion has wound up with team skull after running away from the aether paradise, and her reason for reaching out to them is to keep an eye on gladion, or more importantly the type: null he stole. 

guzma’s first response to all of this is ‘why the fuck would i do this, i don’t know you’, but lusamine promises big, crazy money in return for the surveillance and his discretion. guzma 100% doesn’t argue with money and accepts the offer, and doesn’t ask any questions.

lusamine is not interested in apprehending gladion and forcing him to return to the paradise. he ran away from her, and for that he is basically dead to her. what she is interested in is the stolen null, once considered to be so dangerous and uncontrollable that it needed to be put into cryogenic stasis, now being somewhat successfully trained and commanded at the hands of her own son. she figures that by keeping tabs on gladion and observing exactly how he handles this monstrous creature she might identify something that she and faba missed, and could potentially resurrect the beast killer project.

two years on, lusamine’s attention has been turned towards a new discovery: cosmog. her research into ultra wormholes remains unknown to most of the aether foundation and she cannot spare her own personnel for fear of arousing suspicion. team skull have become her boots on the ground, scouting out hotspots for wormhole activity under the impression that they are surveying potential areas for pokémon to be released from the paradise back into the wild. guzma is putty in her hands; naive, eager to please and completely dazzled by her power, reputation and beauty. when lillie escapes the aether paradise with cosmog, lusamine has eyes in every corner ready to hunt them down.

'minors do not interact' is just so weird to me

as if we weren't all minors interacting once

it sounds like you're warning them away because you're the problem??

use content warnings by all means but specifically saying minors shouldn't interact is fucking patronising and they will 100% continue to interact just like all of us did when we were like 12-13 and let loose on the internet, that is how you learn your own boundaries
