i'm kinda bummed kieran never went back to his original hairdo and kept the onion topknot of his edgy phase even when he became friends with the player again

I actually like it! I think it suits him, and shows his growth personally. I think a good compromise would have been like, A mix of his old and new style. But I think his new hair fit's him seeing clearer now, no longer as shy as he used to be, and slowly working on his insecurities( him being more open with himself and other's too). Again, maybe a third hairstyle would have really capped his arc off, but I think what he has works. I felt like completely going back to his old hairstyle would mean Kieran is back to his old self....which isn't true. He's still a bit shy, but no where near how he was before he met the player. Again, third hairstyle, but ah well.

Fun fact! The reason his hair is tie up is bc he wanted to see his battles more clearly, and his hair wouldn't be in the way for that. That line actually made me appreciate his hair more! Carmine was actually calling his hair edgy and he told her why he did his hair like that lol. It was a cute interaction between the two!

Excuse me, how do you make the team setup pictures? Is there a website for that?

Hi there! There is a website! It's called Pokemon Team Planner! It actually has all the pokemon games that require team building I believe, and the one I used is the Pokemon Home option, that simply has all the pokemon of the pokedex, including alternate forms mega evolution, and any added types that weren't in the old games! If your going to use mobile I suggest going on desktop mode cause it has more options in sorting the very large pokedex, for example by type, generation, etc etc. Happy team planning!

I mean I get that’s it’s not the only contributing factor, but I’m curious exactly how much of the shelter dog over-population problem is actually due to poor dog ownership/management vs the housing crisis and economical stress. I’d be willing to bet by investing in social programs that give people the resources they need to care for their pets (cough cough affordable and free housing cough cough) that the amount of pets in shelters would dramatically drop. We can all sit here pointing fingers and screaming at each other until we are blue in the face, but if the owners basic needs are not being met, how can we hold them to a basic standard for their pets?

"Wyll is boring" he is the personification of daddy issues. he hides away at a beach TWICE and leaving the tav to go find him because he's not used to having people around who care abt him. he's been running around the sword coast for seven years just killing things and saving people because he got EXILED and chose to prove himself to his father and just help others. he spends his time training kids how to defend themselves. you find out his dad is the ARCHDUKE of Baldur's Gate. he almost drowned once trying to find mermaids. he has a literal devil haunting him that watches his every move. He managed to stop an entire cult of Tiamat AT AGE 17!!!!!!! he loves clowns.

Wyll isn't boring, ppl just haven't taken the time to explore his story and it SHOWS

Lyney who uses his cape to shield you from the rain

lyney who, when it turns out his cloak isn’t quite big enough to keep either of you dry, also offers you his umbrella, and twirls it needlessly fancily around before opening it above your head. then, too add to the already over-the-too gesture, he bows and holds out his hand to you. deciding to humour him, you take his hand, and before you can react, he spins you around and pulls you into his arms. (‘the umbrella’s only big enough for one, so we have to be close to each other or else it won’t work!’—that’s what you imagine him saying as he winks at you, tugging you closer by the arm he’s snaked around your waist.)

“do you know any magic tricks to get us dry, by any chance, mr best-magician-in-teyvat?”

he stops to think for a moment. “the burning passion of my love for you should do the trick, no?” he leans in for a kiss, and you playfully bat his face away.

“lyney, please stop. you’re painfully embarrassing.”

he shrugs, settling instead to press his lips to your forehead. his eyes are bright when he pulls away. “it was worth a try.”

I like that when Kieran finally realizes he messed up and decides to prove himself and fix the problem he caused, the little reflections in his eyes come back. It's a small and subtle detail but it says a lot.

Also if I recall correctly the same thing happens to Bede in SwSh after he becomes the new Fairy-type gym leader? His eyes become brighter and more lively.

Yeah :)

I think Kieran finally snapping out of the abyss that was his own self doubt and loathing and finally deciding to help the player was one of my favorite parts of Indigo Disk. My favorite being when he asks if the player and him can start over and he friends :')

Bede is way too prideful to do that, but that doesn't mean I don't think he's trying. He's definitely a bit more kinder/ trying his best to not let that ego of his take over. At least that's how I see it. Also yes, his eyes did become more likely after he started to train under opal and become a gym leader.

I think the theme here is that part of growing up you will fuck up. Bad. But it's a matter of what you do after that and how you're able to grow from it. And I just think that's neat :)

tell me abt the gym leaders’ responses to the cults! is there anything they do abt it? if so, who’s the most active?

Ooooo that's a good one.

Orion is a kid,so more often than not he's told to generally stay out of the cult stuff and " leave it to the adults". I think he's very annoyed by it, but his rock ( Reshiram ) also advised not making contact with the cults too. All in all, Orion generally stays out of it.

Xavier is Xavier. Do you really expect him to do anything about the cults? Do you really? I've had this small idea about him potentially being paid off by one of them, but I don't know who nor do I think it would matter. It's in the idea box for now.

East literally worked for a cult lol. I....am still working him out, so I don't have much for him just yet. I will say, I just had the idea of him being a messenger of sorts. To the other cults I mean. He has information on several of the cults which is often used to Jaern's advantage. I should be clear that I'm not fully sure, and East is someone I really have to dig into, but yeah! Though to keep his appearance as a respectable gym leader, he does still handle the cults....though he's more often than not handling the Sky Cult.

Harmony is arguably one of the more proactive gym leaders when it comes to the cults. The problem is that she's both running a gym and is head of the hospital she works at, which demands most of her time. That being said, she generally takes these things very seriously, so she go out to handle any lingering cult members around her area, and make sure the flow of information is active between gym leaders.

Anastasia is.... interesting. She has a very stern dislike for the cults in my eyes, but when it comes to actually doing something about them, she isn't super active. Not to say that she isn't at all, but in the game, she's shown to disregard things for her own ambitions. So yes, she does go out of her way to handle cults around her area ( specifically the Abyssall cult, which she has history with), she's way more focused on her own doings. Harmony is often nagging at her to be more diligent.

I think Diana makes a conscious effort to.....not be active unless the problem comes at her directly or she's asked to by her fellow gym leaders/ higher ups. Her history with the infernal cult and the Darkrai cult just made her so averse to everything around the cult that did just doesn't want to deal with it unless she has too. To be blunt, it's a form of her running away from her problems, something that she starts to break during the story, but before then she really just wanted to be in her own peace with her boyfriend. With all of that being said she is a fierce protector of her home. She wouldn't just let things happen bc she would rather not do anything.

Calreath, on the other hand, is very active in this regard. He understands his girlfriends aversion to the cults and doesn't push her on it ( though they have had discussions on her constantly avoiding her problems for "peace". It is something that's being worked on). I honestly like to think that to a lot of people, Calreath was like. A second in command argur. He was very popular, kind, charismatic ( and a dork), and always always looked out for others. No one knew he was a Chosen One except Dania though, for his own safety of course, so he wasn't exactly picked to be the next argur when Adam disappeared. Not that he would have wanted the title anyway. All of that being said, he was essentially doing more cult work than Jaern did lmao I actually saw your post about Cal and Adam knowing each other, and honestly the idea that Adam inspired Calreath is very cute.

Adam is Adam lol, we all know he was The Guy when it comes to tackling the cults.

Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything, and thanks for the ask!

An addition to my recent ask. (Do you prefer reblogs or new asks for your project?)

About Goldie, as option for her connection with the deals, what if she didn't make all of them? Maybe she inherited them and wealth from a predecessor, or she stole them. Which would add another level of her archetype as corrupt business person and how most if not all business people in real life actually got into their position of power.

Which could make it more complicated for the cast to figure out why Goldie has the power she does because not all the deals can be traced back to her.

I don't mind asks or reblogs! Both are fine <3

Going to your ask, it would be very Goldie for her to not make the deals herself. It helps keep her image, and make it easier to manipulate people.

As for how she got her wealth, she most definitely stole something. The way I imagine her backstory was that she had nothing, stumbled upon something that would gain her immense power and wealth, and stole it. A twist of Goldielocks and the three bears if you will. No one will know that Goldie was once a nobody that stole a certain thing ( and even if you somehow did, she made sure all evidence of it is gone). This applies back to her deals too. The most Goldie is known for is her wealthy empire, some of which most people don't know Goldie owns. It's going to be incredibly hard to trace back to her with all of that in the way( I hope I'm making sense here,heh)

As for what Goldie stole all those years ago, I don't know. It would have been money/ an estate, possibly leaving the previous owners, er, dead( owners end up dead and revealed to have a "daughter" in Goldie). It could have been something magical( Goldie is also inspired by Alice in Wonderland, so I could do something with that). But right now, I don't have a clue.
