#Love these ideas so much ❤️

[crushed-ice]

Building my Grusha a pokemon team based on my favorite ice types + reasonings/relations to their character!

Possible lead #1: Abomasnow

Abomasnow is the perfect pokemon to start with, able to set up snow warning and then start tanking hits from strong starters. With grass knot it can easily take down heavier pokemon, and giving it an icy rock can make that hail last longer to milk the benefits. If bred properly, it can also learn leech seed and deal chip damage to the max, knocking out it's attacker from beyond the grave even if they're a fire type.

On the character end of the spectrum, there's not too much to say. Personality wise Abomasnow can be fairly closed off and not that affectionate, more into battling and competition, but will still protect it's loved ones with everything it's got. Grusha's very competitive and protective of the ones he holds close.

Possible lead #2: Froslass

As a lead, Froslass is great for setting up spikes and stealth rock to deal some hefty damage before the turns even start. It's defense isn't the best, meaning it's only use is likely to set things up, but it's ability snow cloak can do wonders if Abomasnow comes first. It'll be able to set everything up to the fullest most of the time, due to it's high speed and evasion from snow cloak. It has some strong moves, like ice beam or shadow ball, which can be great for knocking down a pokemon or two, and helps against any potential fighting types on the enemy team.

Personality wise, Froslass is more reserved and elegant, avoiding as much contact with others as possible and doing everything in the name of beauty and power. It's a protector, mostly of itself, but also of it's loved ones. I can see Froslass performing at the Paldean Ice Festival with Grusha, in beautifully crafted outfits to match each other. Froslass would be another protectee into protector case, starting out as a lonely snorunt on Grusha's team who's constantly afraid of the other members due to it's late start on Grusha's team, turning into a gorgeous and vengeful pokemon hell bent on keeping the team from harm while preserving it's looks.

Middle pokemon #1: Walrein

One pokemon able to benefit from the snow warning put out by Abomasnow is Walrein, with the ability Ice Body and able to learn aqua ring it can takw hits and then heal them right back up. Give it some leftovers and you've got a hard to kill auto-heal pokemon. With fairly balanced stats it can go either way with physical or special attack, and having the water typing drops it's fire weakness, making it the perfect pokemon to throw out if Abomasnow gets taken out by a fire type.

Walrein is definitely a pokemon Grusha would have had for a while, possibly even his starter Pokemon. As a spheal they would've been best friends, an adorable round pokemon who loves their trainer and an affectionate but shy little kid who spends all his time with his pokemon? A perfect match. Walrein still doesn't realize how big it is after evolution, or if it does it doesn't let on that it does, and still tries to lay on top of Grusha sometimes. They've always slept in the same bed since Grusha was little, the coldness of the Pokemon's skin comforting to Grusha. He's always enjoyed the cold as he drifted off to sleep. Now, the bed has to be way bigger, but they make it work, still as close as can be. Best friends forever :>

Middle pokemon #2: Mamoswine

Offensively, Mamoswine is insane with attack. It is a heavy hitter with some very powerful typing, giving it STAB for ground moves such as Bulldoze and High Horsepower. It also has snow cloak, raising it's evasion, which can cover up it's surprisingly lackluster defense stats, while still having high hp. Another possible ability, thick fat, is incredibly useful, making ice and fire moves deal half of their regular damage. It's a hard-to-hurt heavy hitter, perfect to dish out some damage and kills in the midst of a battle.

Mamoswine is another potential first pokemon for Grusha, a Swinub being affectionate but shy and a bit of a scaredy-cat would be perfect for Grusha. Giving him someone to protect at an early age, which would be wear his naturally protective nature comes from, while also giving him someone to talk to. They wouldn't need anybody else, doing everything together. When evolving, Mamoswine is still just as affectionate, constantly giving Grusha rides everywhere and taking a turn as the protector, making sure Grusha is safe at all costs. They'd be best buddies, and sometimes Grusha would fall asleep on Mamoswine's back. The warm and fluffy fur is so comforting that sometimes it's hard to stay awake...

Middle pokemon #3: Cetitan

Cetitan is a crazy tank with some attack to back it up, it's ability slush rush helping it out immensely in the speed department during hail setups from Abomasnow. It can be a bulky physical sweeper who outspeeds everything during slush rush, ice Spinner able to knock away any possible terrain effects that could interfere while still being a strong move.

In terms of personality, Cetitan is one of Grusha's newer pokemon. It was very friendly and upbeat as a Cetoddle, but upon evolution it grew much more hardened and competitive. It trains constantly, feeding into Grusha's thirst for battle and victory. They bond over training, their synergy is insane for the newest addition to the team.

Middle pokemon #4: Baxcalibur

Getting rid of the fire weakness altogether, Baxcalibur is a strong pokemon all around. It's ability, Thermal Exchange, prevents detrimental burns and increases attack with each fire type attack it tanks, it's hp helping it withstand more. It's already incredibly high attack, adding on Thermal Exchange, can plow through teams in an instant, and having Dragon type STAB moves helps with popular pokemon such as Dragapult.

Personality wise I can't actually think of anything, Baxcalibur just seems more like a soulless killer to me for some reason. It's the transfer hire, only there to work and then go home. It doesn't make friends with the rest of the team, or Grusha, obeying in battle and then returning to it's PokeBall. No matter how much Grusha tries to bond, it simply prefers to completely separate it's work and life.

Ace: Weavile

At first glance it doesn't seem like the best option for an ace, but Grusha knows what he's doing. It's great speed and attack stats keep it ahead of the game, aiming for a finishing move is no issue with this pokemon. With pressure, it can take down slower or less offensive pokemon, and it's dark typing helps out immensely against the many different powerful psychic types in the competitive scene.

When we get down to how it interacts with the rest of the team, Weavile is a prankster by nature. While competitive, Grusha also has a fairly humourous side, loving a practical joke or two every chance he can get. The two of them get into all sorts of shenanigans in Glaseado, then disappear into the night and act like they never heard a thing about anything. What? Food dye in the spa? Who could've done that? Aside from pranks, the two of them would get along wonderfully, both of them very talkative. Start up a conversation with the two and leave for a few hours, come back and chances are they're still discussing. They have moved on to a completely unrelated topic somehow, but are still talking with the same excited energy nonetheless. Weavile's tried to wingman for Grusha, but all of it's attempts have gone rather poorly, mostly pranking Grusha's love interests until they leave and then getting upset when they don't take it as a sign of affection. Weavile's stopped trying to wingman at this point, but their battle synergy is still incredibly obvious. He's closer to Weavile than any other pokemon on his team, even his starter.

Eddie quietly falling more and more in love with Steve with every car ride—every time it’s raining, and he watches as Steve does a stupid little run with an umbrella to the front porch so Robin won’t mess up her hair before a marching band concert.

Falling in love with the constancy of it, with every little routine Steve does. It takes a few weeks of listening for Eddie to figure out that when Steve first half-sings, “Good mornin’,” as everyone clambers into the car that he’s imitating the song from Singin’ in the Rain.

Falling in love with how Steve always, always either has the radio on or a tape playing something that he can sing along to, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel. How the car’s always this chaotic space but always, always brimming with love and joy—Steve snapping his fingers every few minutes, like, “Oh, Rob, this is our song! You know, when the—yeah, the shift when—no, not that one, the other time that—” (Eddie discovers with fond amusement that many, many songs share the title of ‘Robin and Steve’s song.’)

Steve singing along to the chorus of Mr. Blue Sky whenever Dustin’s called shotgun in the front, and Eddie soon realises, his heart fit to burst, that it’s because Steve must associate the song with Dustin; that he does the same thing with everyone he gives rides to, like it comes so naturally to him, his love for each person intertwined with each song, like he’s making the melody anew every time.

Eddie, tipsy from ‘Graduation Champagne’ courtesy of Nancy, asks Steve once if he has a song tied to him.

“Ah,” Steve says, smiling and bright-eyed in his role as the designated driver, “you have a whole damn catalogue, Eddie.”

And… oh.

Well, Eddie reasons, heart skipping a beat, he doesn’t need to know all of them at once, then. He doesn’t mind waiting, letting each one unfold, like unwrapping an expensive chocolate.

One night the two of them are driving back to Hawkins alone, having spent the day at a mall shopping for Robin’s birthday. They really didn’t need to spend the whole day, had already got her presents within the first couple of hours, but they dawdled, messed around, tried on increasingly ridiculous hats and sunglasses to make the other laugh.

And Steve fiddles with the radio until he finds an obscure station that just plays songs from musicals. And yeah, he sings along, but his voice is a little restrained, almost like he’s shy. Eddie looks at him with a soft smile, suddenly knows he’s seeing something precious, something Steve perhaps reserves for car rides alone. That Steve is letting him into a private moment.

“You have a real pretty voice, man,” he murmurs, quiet enough that they could pretend it goes unheard under the noise of the car driving along.

But as Steve looks ahead, he smiles, and his ears turn red.

He goes for it for the rest of the ride, voice back to its normal volume. He plays it up, trying to make Eddie laugh while they’re waiting for traffic lights to change. Catches his eye and damn near trills, “I feel fizzy and funny and fine, and so pretty, Miss America can just resign.”

And of course, Eddie laughs. Feels his stomach swoop. He knows what this feeling is. Oh, he knows.

As the West Side Story tribute ends, Steve’s voice drops back to his normal register. Turns gentle and sincere as he glances at his wing mirror and sings, almost to himself, “For I’m loved by a pretty wonderful boy.”

Yes, Eddie thinks, you are, you are, you are.

Zuko looked up and locked eyes with his cousin, who was struck speechless. Then, ever so slowly, Lu Ten's lips twitched upwards. And then he smiled. And then he beamed. And then he nodded proudly once, just once, and vanished.

Lu Ten comes back in For the Spirits Chapter VII: Take Me South, only to leave Zuko with more questions than answers. Just how much is he truly aware of? When will he return? What is Zuko going to do now?

(What will the South bring?)

Okay so in the two Sonic movies there's some obvious parallels between the scene where Tom tucks Sonic in and where Sonic tucks Tails in:

They both look up, see their little guy having fallen fast asleep, and tuck them in.

Which is so utterly sweet and adorable.

But I just noticed parallels between Tom and Sonic's relationship and Sonic and Tails's relationship in another set of scenes as well. Namely, the one where their respective kid gets injured.

In the first movie, it's right after the truck chase scene where Robotnik's tank keeps producing smaller ones like an evil Russian nesting doll, the last one being a tiny bomb that sticks to Sonic and ends up blowing up and knocking him unconscious.

In the second one, it's on the snowy mountain where Knuckles and Sonic talk, but then things go south and Sonic tries to pass the compass to Tails, but Robotnik steals it and then knocks out Tails with a couple of rockets.

Just look at the parallels in the interactions and even the setup of these two scenes:

Tom and Sonic immediately call the kid's name

They rush to them and kinda cradle them, super concerned

Similar phrasing as they beg them to wake up

And then immediately they end up crashing into Rachel's life and taking over her house/wedding, where they get to Maddie to take care of their little guy.

I know Sonic's unconscious for the first one so there's no way he's purposely imitating Tom, but I just love to think that they're just so close that he's just picked up Tom's dad instincts and is imitating it without even knowing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Sonic may be adopted but he really is his dad's kid.

taco and mephone have fascinating parallels more people could explore if taco haters weren't biased cowards

No color because I’m lazy TwT (I’m sorry-) I’m actually happy with this little drawing! A certain scene in the upcoming chapter hehehe- :D

Chapter 5 is both wholesome and extremely angsty in my opinion I just have a few more things to add and edit- But I hope you’ll all like it! :3

ok I'll just send you more ideas for cabin pressure x poirot crossovers as I relisten to eps

Hastings: Poirot's put me in charge of the faxes.

Miss Lemon: Are you sure, Mr Poirot? Because some people do still have fax machines.

Poirot: Yes, yes some people do. We don't though. (not sure yet what scene this would go well with)

Never enough of Cabin Pressure x POiROT!!

I wanna do skincare routine with tomas and raiden tbh, the goodest boys

Yes!! That's so cute!😭 I can imagine you helping them put on face masks and just kind of having a whole routine with them. Like those tiktok videos where the girlfriend and the boyfriend do them together. They're curious cuz they see you doing them and want to join in too. It brings you closer in your relationship. They want to look pretty too🥺
