I’ve been wanting to share this girl for a good while now- This is a bit of a revamp of an old OC I made when I was around 15. But I de-selfinsertified her and, y'know, gave her an actual solid backstory and personality.
In short, Rose is the niece of the main villain Lysandre. At first, she'd fit the role of the "angry/mean rival" archetype that XY seems to not have, acting as a rival counterpart to Shauna. (Seeing as everyone else in the main group seems to have a counterpart. Tierno has Trevor, and the MC has Calem/Serena, but Shauna doesn't really have a solid rival outside of the MC.) She's manipulated by her family into helping Team Flare, but in a sort of Zuko/Hunter/Amity-esque arc, she choses to join the main group against her uncle.

Extensive bio under the cut:
Name: Rose Dorado
Age: 14
Home Region: Born and raised in Kalos, but moves to Alola with her maternal grandfather Enzio and connects more with her late mother's side of the family in Paldea.
Favorite Type(s): Psychic/Ghost
Voice Claim: Vanessa Paradis (Lucille from "A Monster in Paris")
Pronouns: She/Her (Experiments a little with They/Them too as she figures themself out)
Sexuality: She's still figuring things out. Rose isn't sure about 'lesbian' or 'bi' or whatever so she just leaves it at 'generally sapphic' or just 'I like girls a lot'. She's pretty sure she's on the ace spectrum though.
Personality: She starts off as a serious, perfection-obsessed "mean girl" who puts on a tough/cold front in a bid to impress her father and uncle. But deep down, she's an insecure, confused and frustrated kid who wants approval from the only family she has.
But after moving to Alola with her maternal grandfather, she starts to find a softer, dorkier side of herself as he heals. Because deep down she's just a dramatic, passionate, coffee-obsessed nerd who deeply loves her Pokemon.
Story:
Rose is the only daughter of one of the more powerful families in Kalos and the niece of Lysandre. All she ever really knew in terms of "family" were her father Albus, and her uncle Lysandre. She never knew too much about her late mother Alana growing up. What she was never told was that her mother comes from a well-known paldean family of psychics, and she happened to inherit ESP from her mother. She wouldn't discover these powers until her teen years, but she would hide them from her father.
The first Pokemon she recieved in her life was a unique Fennekin she named "Beryl". What makes this pokemon unique is that it is actually an incredibly rare shiny. This shiny pokemon was originally set to be sent to Sycamore's lab for study, but was bought out by Rose's father. Sadly, Beryl was originally meant to be nothing other than a trophy pet. But Rose and Beryl formed a strong connection and manage to be a strong team.
Seeing this, her father decides to take advantage of that for Team Flare's (and his own) gain.
During the events of Pokemon X/Y, her drive to become a great pokemon trainer ends up in her getting roped into the "family business". Ergo, Rose is pressured into assisting her uncle Lysandre in his "vision" for the world by helping Team Flare. Despite her convictions, she pushes herself to do so to hopefully impress her only family.
With this pressure, Rose is pushing herself past her limits to meet these high standards. And she's not keen on anyone standing in her way. But there's always that one trainer who seems to pop up wherever she's assigned to- a trainer girl named Shauna. Everywhere she went, this girl was pestering her and getting in the way. But there was something in the things Shauna told her that started inspiring...doubts.
As the story progresses, Rose begins to doubt her uncle's "vision" and starts drifting more towards the side of the protagonists. And this all leads to the final confrontation where, with her new friend Shauna's encouragement, she helps the group stop her uncle.
After everything is done- With her uncle presumed dead and her father MIA, Rose is taken in by her maternal grandfather Enzio Dorado. (A mysterious old man that would pop up here and there in the "story".)
Rose decides to come with her grandfather to see Alola. And, wanting to go out and visit new regions herself (according to post-game dialogue from her), Shauna joins her new friend in this adventure.
For her, the events of Sun/Moon (and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon) are a time for her to heal from her past and figure out her new life. While she explores this new region, she takes time to process and rediscover herself.
Obligatory OC x Canon: Rose + Shauna (I thought they'd be adorable, and fun to write/draw.)
If it isn’t Prythians favourite no good scheming con artists🤭
I personally thought Feysand makes so much sense for Road to El Dorado with the way they play their enemies like a fiddle.
Trying to think of childhood film duos that fit Rowan and Aelin….they are schemers too but more so than Tulio and Miguel. Hell Aelin even tricks her own friends 😭😆
So TDS2 never worked out for me at all 😔 let’s hope TDS3 goes much better~ hoping before the end of 2024 to have seen EXO, Dream, and WayV in concert I hope that’s. Not too much to hope for 😣
WARNINGS: smut, heavy swearing, kidnapping, obx3 SPOILERS
SUMMARY: You were separated from your ex, Rafe, after falling off the Costal Adventure. The Pogues took you in as one of their own. You and Rafe meet again when you’re kidnapped by Singh.
Muffled screams were heard from the hallways as you were dragged to an unfamiliar room.
How did you get here? That was a long story?
A month prior, Rafe Cameron, your boyfriend at the time, had somehow convinced you to run away with him and his family.
You had no idea what he was capable of back then.
When you found out that he helped steal a cross that wasn’t his, and that he tried to kill his own sister, things felt different.
You couldn’t deny that you were in love with him though. It was hard for you to grasp the fact that he wasn’t a good person.
So, you did the thing anyone would have done. You helped Sarah escape.
When both John B and Sarah insisted you came with them, you wasted no time jumping off of the boat.
Rafe nearly shot at the small boat you escaped in. He was expecting you to be on it. Y/n. His Y/n was a Pogue.
Here you were now, kidnapped by Carlos Singh. He had you for a couple of days, claiming he was waiting on something before he could tell you what he wanted.
A large door opened and you were practically thrown into the room, your body slamming against another.
“What the-?” The voice above you spoke. It sounded familiar, and that scared you.
“Y/n? Oh my god!” The voice said, worried. You looked up and we’re met with none other than Rafe Cameron.
He wasted no time, ripping the cloth gag from your lips. At that you scrambled to get away from him, tripping and falling to the floor.
“Rafe? I knew you were apart of this!” You said and the Kook boy tried to reach for you. You tried to wiggle away, but your hands were still tied.
Rafe helped you up, cupping your face in his hands. He was happy to see you. He assumed you got kidnapped by the Pogues, he never knew you went willingly.
“I’ve been trying to find you, sweetheart” He said and your chest rose and fell with anger. He didn’t notice, he was too caught up with the fact that you had survived.
“You won’t have to go with those Pogues again, you’re safe now” Rafe rambled and you shook your head, about to argue.
“I knew this reunion would cause sparks” Singh’s voice from the opening room.
“What do you want from me?” You said and he waved you into the other room. You yanked yourself from Rafe’s grip and you walked into the room, sitting down on a couch.
Rafe followed and sat next to you.
Singh went on a rant about El Dorado and all you could think about was how close Rafe was to you. You hadn’t seen him in a month, and you were sure you had gotten over him.
Now that he was in front of you, butterflies fluttered in your stomach. Well, maybe that was because he was fiddling with the ties that bound your hands together.
“What do you want from me?” You asked Singh and he smiled.
“Your friends, they have a diary” He went on and it clicked for you. They had told you about a diary. Denmark Tanny’s diary.
“I don’t…I don’t know anything about a diary” You said and those words landed you right back in a locked room.
“Y/n, baby, you have to talk to me” Rafe pled, kneeling down in front of your sitting figure. You had finally wiggled your way out of the zip ties that had bound your wrists, and now you were placed on the bed.
“Rafe, I really don’t know what there is to talk about” You said and he looked confused, hurt even.
“You, me, you getting napped by the Pogues? That’s what we can talk about” He said and stood up, pacing.
This was it, you had to tell him.
“I didn’t get kidnapped, Rafe” You said and he stopped, looking towards you “I left with them myself” You added and his eyes widened.
“Why- Why would you do that?” He said and you sighed.
“You killed Peterkin, tried to kill your sister, and you lied to me!” You said “I couldn’t be around you, I was scared, Rafe!” You said and he looked shattered.
“You know I’d never hurt you, Y/n” Rafe said and you shook your head.
“I don’t know that, I didn’t” You said and he moved closer, grabbing your hands to hold in his.
“You never ended things properly, so we’re still together” Rafe said, his eyes tearing up “Y-You’re still mine, baby please” He begged and you shook your head, your eyes becoming teary as well.
“Rafe, we can’t” You said and he reached up towards four face, cupping it “Please don’t do this, not now.” You added and he shook his head, leaning in towards you.
When he kissed you, you felt like your world fell into place. You hated that feeling, but you craved it more than anything.
You couldn’t help but melt into his touch, letting him lean in further to pin you to the bed. He hadn’t seen you in a month, and he longed to feel you in his arms again.
Upon realizing what you were doing, you pulled away, shaking your head “Rafe” You whispered, his thumb trailing across your bottom lip.
“Please, I know you want this just as much as me” Rafe said “I love you, so much” He said and you felt your heart nearly explode.
“I love you too” You whispered and he smiled, letting his thumb caress your cheek.
“There’s my girl” Rafe whispered, pressing his lips against yours again. This time you gave in, missing his touch.
Rafe moved between your legs, pulling you flesh against his hard-on.
“Feel that?” He asked and you nodded “All because of you baby” He whispered and looked down at you. “Haven’t had any in a month” He said “I’ve been waiting on you, only to hear that you left me?” He said and you shook your head.
“That’s right, I’ll have to show you just how pent up I’ve been” He said and you looked up at him, trying to pull him closer.
“Please, Rafe” You begged “I need you, now.” You said and that was all he needed.
Within mere seconds, your clothes were on the floor, Rafe prodding your entrance with the tip of his cock.
“Please, Rafe” You begged and that was enough for him, the blonde sliding all the way inside of you, his hips touching yours.
Your back arched at the familiar fullness you felt, a moan left your lips as he attacked your neck, littering it with hickeys.
You both had forgotten the situation you were in, only worried about each other.
Soft moans and the sound of hips meeting filled the room, Rafe moving fast to make you have the best orgasm of your life.
“Rafe! M’already close!” You gasped out and he nodded, a smirk on his face.
“Me too baby, I fuckin’ missed you” He said finally giving you permission to cum.
At his command, you turned into putty, your legs shaking, as you clenched around him, milking his cock.
He rested his head in the crook of your neck after he came, your labored breaths filling the room. It didn’t take too long for you to come down and calm down, slipping under the covers to hide your exposed body.
“We need to get out of here” Rafe spoke softly “You’re mine”

Pairing: Alex Cabot, Casey Novak, Liz Donnelly, Olivia Benson and Rita Calhoun
Warnings: None
Word count: +900
Alex Cabot
- It's been 18 years since you saw each other in person, during your teenage years you kept sporadic contact through letters and phone calls. You felt proud of her every step, supporting her in all the courses, internships, sleepless nights studying, but two months before high school graduation the blonde cut ties abruptly, there were many unanswered phone calls and letters that returned or were never answered. This didn't stop you, years later, from sending one last letter to congratulate her when you heard that Alex had graduated in Harvard, her dream since you were kids. In the meantime you went on with your life, graduated, bought a house in Texas and got married at 30, divorced at 32, the dream house was sold and you started your own business in NY, a coffee shop in a good spot. Weeks after opening a group of detectives walked in and you immediately recognized a blonde head accompanying them. Much taller than you remember, wearing a feminine suit that fit her body well, eyebrows coming together in a thoughtful expression that you know well. She took a moment to choose something in the display case, and when she looked up, she was in shock. Your name escaped through her lips in a whisper.
Casey Novak
- A simple softball game got you three days off work, a mild concussion and a pretty purple eye. The ADA visited you every day since the event, on the day you returned to work the veteran detectives made a few unfunny jokes about you being able to handle big men but getting knocked down by a ball, giving you slaps on the back in consolation for the attempt. At lunchtime you received a bouquet of yellow roses, a box of Swiss chocolate and a handwritten apology card inviting you to dinner to make up for the hospital trip. You had exchanged phone numbers at the hospital, so making the appointment was easy, finding a space in your professional calendar was not, and after two weeks you met at a restaurant a few blocks from your apartment.
Liz Donnelly
- As you work together you frequently bump into each other in the hallways, there are always cordial greetings and brief conversations about the case you are working on, but nothing beyond that. Two months go by quickly, you seem to have fallen in everyone's favor and perform your tasks with competence, making Alex proud and excited to celebrate your work, especially for being your first formal job in the law area, you meet after work in a chic Manhattan bar, not far from the office. About 15 minutes later another blonde joins you, dressed more casually than usual, a smile painting her lips as she walks toward you after meeting you by happenstance. "Well well well, Cabot and her ward, so what are we celebrating? I'll pay for the drinks."
Olivia Benson
- The same night of the misunderstanding the Captain sends you a message apologizing for the situation in front of your house. You talked for a few more minutes and she thanks you for always being the one with Noah on the occasions she can't, in the end you agree to let the kids meet on a weekend after their punishment. For your children it was long, but just two weeks forbidden to go out play after school and video games. Evelyn was anxious, running around the house to make sure everything is ready for Noah's arrival, initially you had arranged with the Bensons to meet at the park but the rainy weather made you change your plans, finally deciding on a day of board games. Catan, El Dorado, Detective, Monopoly, even Jenga and Twister, there is a table full of snacks and treats, a wine is kept in the back of the cupboard in case Olivia enjoys it, you don't know what they like so you buy everything. At the appointed hour the doorbell rings and you find mother and son as excited as you are. It would be a fun day.
Rita Calhoun
- She didn't show up for weeks, every Tuesday you drove customers to other tables to reserve that special one in the hope that Rita would show up, which didn't happen. After the fourth Tuesday in a row you gave up. The new manager didn't harass you anymore, while he didn't make things easy at work, denying you overtime and events that usually pay a little more, after all, the generous tip from those rich people is what pays your bills. You chose to resign when you realized that there was no advantage or anything that bound you there, the emergency fund lasted long enough until you got another job, this time in an Italian restaurant, not as fancy as your previous job but much more welcoming. Monday is usually a slow day, you found out after two months as a waitress, so you are alone with the chef, working overtime late at night when she enters the homely environment, looking out of place in her expensive suit and high heels worth a rent. "Miss Calhoun?" you whisper, an involuntary smile on your lips. "I told you to call me Rita, sweetie." she sits up and signals for you to come closer. "What are you doing here? Forgive me, but this restaurant… it's not up to your level, it's not fancy." deep down you wait for the answer that comes next, not being able to think of any other explanation for her being on the other side of the city alone on a week day. "I came after the service of my favorite waitress."
Cautivado por el perfume de la rosa, fascinado por su color y su fresca tersura, por la suavidad de sus líneas arreboladas de candor y su centro precioso, tan místico y sublime, esbozado en trazos ligeros que brillan al roce de la luz en un cálido dorado que encandila a mis sentidos… ¡Oh, Rosa! ¡Mi hermosa Rosa! Lates en mi corazón como la flama que me arropa el latir de mi vida… ¡Oh Rosa, mi Rosa! ¡Mi capullo de amor, mi esencia primorosa, mi beso redentor! Naces a mi tacto y, a mi contacto, te abres para recibirme como los ángeles reciben a Dios.
Captivated by the perfume of the rose, fascinated by its color and its fresh smoothness, by the softness of its lines, full of candor and its precious center, so mystical and sublime, sketched in light strokes that shine at the touch of the light in a warm golden color that dazzles my senses... Oh Rose, my beautiful Rose! You beat in my heart like the flame that envelops the beating of my life... Oh Rose, my Rose! My cocoon of love, my primordial essence, my redeeming kiss! You are born to my touch and, to my contact, you open yourself to receive me as the angels receive God.
"To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be." —Rachel Carson
Today we celebrate biologist, author, and environmentalist Rachel Carson's birthday. Carson's book Silent Spring, published in 1962, is widely credited for launching the environmental movement in the United States.
MBARI's research vessel Rachel Carson, named for the famous environmentalist, started her life as an oil field supply vessel operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Following a 22-day transit from La Rose, Louisiana to Alameda, California, and extensive refitting, she was christened by Julie Packard on July 21, 2012, at MBARI’s Open House celebration. The R/V Rachel Carson is MBARI’s coastal vessel, capable of supporting operations of ROV Ventana, multiple Dorado class AUVs, moorings, and many other oceanographic instruments.
The R/V Rachel Carson will support MBARI science and ocean engineering efforts for many years to come.
I made this u/n forever ago so ill probably keep it no matter the answer to this, but I've always wondered if it should be 'chic@ con pelo rosado'? Or maybe better 'de pelo rosa(do)'? It just feels... awkward to me, but I can't place my finger on it.
I know there are words for the 'hairèdness' of someone (e.g. moren@, rubi@, etc.), for lack of a better term, but since it's not a natural color (on hair or in general), I'm not sure how that would work. I've always wondered how accurate it was lmao
(Also side note, which article do you use for gender neutral lmao is it 'l@'?)
First, it could be either
chico con pelo rosa / rosado is "boy with pink hair"; and chico de pelo rosa / rosado is "the pink-haired boy"
Both are acceptable, but the de kind of makes you think of using a hyphen
Note: You may also see el cabello used for "hair" when it's specifically hair on the head
But you're right that there are certain words for hair colors:
cano/a = white-haired, gray-haired [as opposed to pelo cano or pelo blanco / gris]
de/con pelo/cabello negro = black-haired
pelinegro = black-haired [less common still used sometimes]
This also applies to hair texture/length... corto/a "short", largo/a "long", liso/a "smooth/straight (hair)", rizado/a "curly/wavy", and calvo/a "bald"
-
Two options for gender neutral - the @ makes the most sense in writing when you're including everyone not specifically talking about a particular person like tod@s is "everyone (male and female)", or el/la chic@ maybe
The way a company might do it is to include both: un/una alumno/a "a student" for example, or se busca un/una empleado/a "looking for an employee"
The other way a company or someone official might do it is to include both options; damas y caballeros "ladies and gentlemen" or todos y todas "everyone"
-
Less official but still used especially by the younger generation and for times when you are really talking about one person in particular: the general idea for gender neutral is the use of -e
So it would be le chique "the young person" gender neutral
For non-binary groups, it would probably be les chiques or saying todes "everyone". I would tend to assume it works like feminine does that nosotras "we" is for only women in the group, nosotros is either a mixed group or all men... so nosotres would be like everyone NB, but in a mixed group I would expect to see nosotros
And so it would be rubie, pelirroje, morene, cane etc.
But be really careful because depending on where you're saying/using it, it might not be regarded as correct or you might be mistaken for using French or Italian
The "default" way to talk about someone non-binary or gender neutral is either to assume masculine until proven otherwise, or to use gender neutral language that's a bit impersonal... such as la persona que tiene (el) pelo/cabello negro "the person that has black hair", or alguien con (el) pelo/cabello azul "someone with blue hair"
-
Side Note just in case you were confused rosa can be used as "pink", rosado/a is more explicitly the adjective form "pink" or "rosy". They are both correct as adjectives, just that rosa doesn't change for gender so it could confuse some people
I know in my textbooks for colors they wrote anaranjado/a "orange" [lit. "orange-y"] instead of naranja "orange", and they wrote rosado/a "pink" instead of rosa
When using an actual noun as an adjective, they don't change gender; so la rosa is "rose", el rosa is "the color pink", rosa is just pink
You can also see this with caoba "mahogany" or "auburn", plata "silver" [as opposed to plateado/a], oro "gold" [instead of dorado/a "golden"], bronce "bronze" [instead of bronceado/a "bronzed / tanned"]
And some other words like márfil "ivory", ébano "ebony", castaño "brown/chestnut", café or color café "coffee colored" aka "brown", or something like lila "light purple" and turquesa "turquoise"
All colors are masculine when talking about them; all colors taken from nouns will not change as adjectives - la camisa turquesa "turquoise shirt" vs. el abrigo turquesa "turquoise coat" for example... And la turquesa means "turquoise" often the gemstone, and el turquesa means "the color turquoise"
okruee - a set of cc i forgot about (undone overalls) | simandy - drown in the night set (nights pants) | plbsims - butter t-shirt | gorillax3 - v-neck sweater & shirt |
((It's August 7th, which means... It's Wendy Day!!
here are some facts about her:
Her full name is Wendy Olivia Koopa
She is 14 years old, the same age as Iggy. Her birthday is July 16th.
Her sign is Cancer and her birthstone is rose quartz.
She is the same height as Morton, both of them being in the middle of everyone.
She weighs the same as Iggy. Again, she is in the middle with her brother.
Her favorite food is Caesar salad.
She likes jewelry and elegant dresses. She dreams of being a great designer, since she greatly admires Princess Peach and wants to be as elegant as her.
She is the only one of her brothers who wears golden bracelets instead of spiked ones. This is because her wrists are more delicate and flexible and that would take away from her mobility and elegance, according to her.
Along with Iggy, Roy and Mykey, she is the only one to wear accessories, although in her case she wears more than one.
She really likes her pink bow. It was a gift from Princess Peach when she was born.
Her lips are naturally pale pink, but she wears makeup a little more intense pink to match her bow and nails, which are naturally hot pink.
Her head is yellow. This trait is only possessed by female Koopas. Likewise, she is one of the few Koopas to be blonde, and her hair is not yet fully grown but some of it is noticeable under her bow.
She is the only one among her brothers to have visible eyelashes
Her favorite sport is ice skating.
She loves the color pink, but she also likes equally elegant colors like lilac or turquoise.
She has a handmade dress that was given to her for her 14th birthday, which is, very recently, given from the neighboring kingdom commissioned by Bowser for his little princess.
Being the only woman in the group and almost the entire castle, she is the one with the best manners; however she can also be aggressive when provoked, such as when her brothers push her or when she feels insulted. Other than that, she's quite the lady, one who at least knows how to punch well.
She has nice handwriting, being the one who taught Larry how to write and read.
She knows how to cook and bake some desserts. Her signature dishes include apple pie and cinnamon rolls. She's currently learning how to make cream puffs.
Happy day, Wendy!!

Le gusta la joyería y los vestidos elegantes. Sueña con ser una gran diseñadora, ya que admira mucho a la princesa Peach y quiere ser tan elegante como ella.
Es la única de sus hermanos que usa brazaletes dorados en vez de con pinchos. Esto es debido a que sus muñecas son más delicadas y flexibles y eso le restaría movilidad y elegancia, según ella.
Junto con Iggy, Roy y Mykey, es la única en usar accesorios, aunque en su caso usa más de uno.
Le gusta mucho su moño rosa. Fue un regalo de la princesa Peach cuando ella nació.
Sus labios naturalmente son rosa pálido, pero ella se maquilla con un rosa un poco más intenso para hacer juego con su moño y uñas, las cuales son naturalmente rosa fuerte.
Su cabeza es amarilla. Este rasgo sólo lo poseen las Koopas hembras. Del mismo modo ella es una de las pocas Koopas en ser rubia, y su cabello aún no se desarrolla del todo pero parte de él se nota por debajo de su moño.
Es la única de entre sus hermanos en tener pestañas visibles
Su deporte favorito es el patinaje sobre hielo.
Ama el color rosa, pero también le gustan colores igual de elgantes como el lila o el turquesa.
Tiene un vestido confeccionado a mano que fue dado por su cumpleaños número 14, es decir, desde hace muy poco, dado desde el reino vecino encargado por Bowser para su pequeña princesa.
Al ser la única mujer del grupo y casi que del castillo entero, es que la que mejor modales tiene, no obstante ella también puede ser agresiva cuando la provocan, como cuando sus hermanos la pasan a llevar o que se sienta insultada. De ahí en fuera es toda una dama, una que al menos sabe dar buenos puños.
Tiene una bonita caligrafía, siendo ella quien enseñó a Larry a escribir y leer.
Sabe cocinar y hornear algunos postres. Entre su firma tenemos el pastel de manzana y los rollos de canela. Actualmente está aprendiendo a hacer pasteles con crema.
