Pokémon Timeskip Series: Battle Legend Lyra 🍒🍂

One of the two Johto-Kanto champions, Lyra is best known for her bright and cheery down to earth attitude both on and off the battle field! She likes to travel ALOT you can find her in coffee shops in Kalos or surfing the waves in Alola or just about anywhere with her Fiancé, Silver by her side and never turns down a challenge to a good battle (even if she accidentally sweeps the other person’s team whoops) Her favorite drink is boba tea, her birthday is March 4th, she has a crippling gatcha AND otome addiction, and is 165 cm tall but that’s all for text no one is gonna read aaaaaa-

Drew out my timeskip Lyra due to me wanting to update a few things in regards to her design (can’t believe it’s been almost two years since my timeskip designs HELP) but I hope you enjoy!

does near every single post-canon DE fic out there need to be tagged ‘Sober Harry Du Bois’? i’m getting so tired of it.

do i expect every single piece of fan content to have to fully delve into the often-depressing always-complex topic of addiction? not really. sometimes you just want to write/read a silly fluffy romance one-shot, whatever. i get it. but i think my issue is specifically with the fact that for nearly every sillyfluffy au out there, there almost must be a ‘sober harry du bois’ tag. and it does feel very slapped-on more often than not.

i think to me it is an unconscious statement that nothing *good* can ever happen to harry du bois until he is completely and permanently sober. before solving the next big case, he has to be sober. before quitting the force, he has to be sober. before falling in love with kim, he has to be sober. before accomplishing anything, starting any sort of recovery, making any life improvement, he must first be sober.

sobriety as a goal, as a journey, and honestly as a concept in of itself is not as cut and dry as so many people think it is. and i think it would serve a lot of people well if they did some introspection on the implications of how nearly every single post-canon fic that isn’t dealing directly with harry’s addiction have him as completely sober instead.

if the plot of the fic isn’t going to touch directly on harry’s substance use (and again, i’m not demanding that every single fic should), why does that mean that sober!harry must be the default?

i think i am just tired of reading a casefic, a smutty one-shot, a fantasy au, whatever, where it almost seems that before getting on with the plot, the author feels obligated to first assure us that the harry we’re reading about is a Sober Harry. it’s established with a couple lines in the exposition, probably about his improved appearance, a tag up top, and then never brought up again; a checkmarked box. like the societal image of An Addict has completely prevented people from being able to imagine a person just, continuing to live life, while still struggling with addiction.

life happens, with all of its backslides and achievements, mundanity and changes, to people with drug addictions just as much as people who don’t. is a post-canon harry who isn’t sober not worth writing about?

i think so. i think the game we all played thinks so too. in fact i think that sentiment is woven into the game’s very core. i just wish i saw that reflected in our fan content more.

[sanasanakun]

Maybe I’m stupid (likely) but I feel like Gojo resembling Toji in his battle with Megumi!Sukuna is trying to show that he is a paternal figure in Megumi’s life. Like the two different sides of Megumi’s male paternal figures (or I guess the two most consistent male adult figures in Megumi’s life)??? I don’t buy that Gojo was a father figure for Tsumiki and Megumi (to me he was more like Spencer from ICarly lmao) but like…i feel like the outfit similarity is trying to say something about their relationship on a familial or paternal scale…but im too dumb to fully phrase this how i want so maybe just ponder on this for me hahaha

As a huge PMD lover, I absolutely adore your Hisui PMD AU. However, my one and only complaint and question is : why are all the characters colors so muted? Like, it fits Ingo, since he's an old ghost type and all, but Akari is so grey and dark. I like the detail with the tips of her ears being blacker to fit with her canon hair color, but the rest of her body is very dark and unlike an Eevee (though if she evolves into an Umbreon then that'd be cool foreshadowing). Even Rei as Pikachu, his yellow fur is much less vibrant.

I'm not saying everyone has to be all vibrant and neon colors with the saturation cranked up to 300% ; Ingo as Typhlosion is a good example of a muted color scheme, and I love it when artists add their own creative flare to OG Pokemon designs (have you seen any of those 'Ability forms' of Pokemon changing slightly depending on their ability? It's really cool). But it's just an interesting color palette I noticed with the majority of your designs that I couldnt help but ask the reason for them.

Ironically, the brightest character here color wise is Silvally Volo. But it makes sense, with his whole "Arceus pls notice me" schtick.

Again, LOVE the PMD AU, and I cant wait to see more!

Hey! Glad you like the AU, thanks!!

And to answer this, it really comes down to two things, I think; mainly, it’s just naturally part of my artstyle. I just gravitate towards more muted colors as I like them, they’re easier on the eyes lol. I know it’s probably not easy to tell I like them though, as most of my art is entirely greyscale. And I will color pick from the characters a lot when I usually draw them with color, but for these, I did not.

And second, colors appear differently on my devices, so sometimes they end up with a little different colors than I intend. I notice my colors usually look a little different on mobile and desktop than they do on my drawing tablet. (Also why I’m apt to color pick from refs)

But some of it is just stylistic choices too! I intentionally made Eevee Akari’s fur darker than a regular Eevee’s, so that the blackish ears and paws don’t clash so much with a lighter color. (I did originally try the default eevee colors when making her design, and didn’t like it because of that).

And as for Pikachu Rei, I just made his fur closer to the colors I use usually for their satchels, since that was the most prominent yellow in their survey corps uniforms. ^^

Thanks for the ask, again I’m really glad you like the AU! ^^

In jondami angst it’s always Damian being in the wrong or having something wrong with him like……..okay I guess.

[idkwhatimdoingbutslay]

Modern AU where Cassandra is (once again) going over her folder of potential (male) suitors for Caitlyn with both Cait and Tobias. Caitlyn inevitably eventually shouts out she is not interested in men. Everyone falls silent, Tobias may have a little smile on his face. Cassie disappears upstairs, Cait starts getting upset and worried and Tobias starts comforting her, telling her she’ll be right back. Cassandra comes back with another folder. Caitlyn tries arguing again before opening it, shuts her mouth real quick after realizing this folder is full of women, pre-prepared and everything.

The other players trying to recruit Mary Ann…I find her so annoying. I gotta side with my boy, Gorgug on this one. This freak thinks this is mango soda????
