#but ofc their villain au counterparts have no problems w that hahaha

Hey Knight, if all the champions got to meet their fucked up selves from the Villain Diantha AU what do you think would happen?

Diantha’s whole mood is probably just “how the FUCK did I end up like that”

Dia's vibing tho omf😭🤣

Dia would probs be all "w,,,what happened to me???"

"we beat up Leon ouo"

"....oh?👀"

"Diantha, please no—"

But idk Dia would probs be really against her villain self, considering that she did help stop Flare but then her other self is the actual mastermind of Flare in their universe, and it fucks her up just how much she ruined people's lives in that universe, how she manipulated her friends, her family, and how she even manipulated children. Honestly I think it'd haunt her meeting her villain self hahaha

Lance would be all over the place too probs bc holy shit his other self is kinda like a fucking criminal, like yeah he Hyper Beamed a guy but he lived, villain au Lance tho? He'd kill a guy w his own hands

Steven and Wallace are,, kinda the same really hahah just really worried abt their other selves bc damn Hoenn's like staying neutral but the four of em know it can't stay neutral forever

Cynthia's probs just "did we kiss her?"

"we did"

"was it worth it?"

"*looking at all the destruction she had wrought to Sinnoh just by joining Diantha* well... It was a pretty good kiss, we made out actually"

No but fr Cynthia would probs hate her villain au self, cause like, really went all that way just for Sinnoh to fall as well, endangering everyone, and for what? A lil crush? Tbf for villain au Cynthia tho, villain Dia is hot—

Iris and Hau, man they honestly pity their villain au selves like, those kids need therapy the most, villain au Iris and Hau probs need the most reassurance out of all of em ngl, like these two are so close to breaking down, and Iris and Hau are trying to like help them too, especially villain au Hau since he's like really contemplating going to Kalos to see Diantha again

Leon, man oh man this guy felt like shit especially knowing what his other self did. Like villain au Leon really up and went and joined Rose instead of actually helping the other champions stop him, but he has to admit even villain au Diantha's methods are wrong, she's just right on trying to stop people like Rose

Geeta would probs be indifferent really, might get a lil envious that villain au Geeta and Diantha are close as fuck (unaware really that it's more on Diantha manipulating Geeta), but y'know, she'd see why everyone would be against villain au Diantha, but she won't ever say that out loud ofc, still her angel, and she'd continue supporting her no matter what

Saw your latest art, and Geeta and Diantha are definitely rumoured to be dating despite just being friends. These two idiots will spend the day with each other then share a bed and be confused about the rumours

Also I know you have your Villain Diantha AU, and her whole reason is that she wants to get rid of those she herself deems “filth” or “to far gone” so that the world is a better place and she can rule/dictate the planet

But what about the other champions? If in separated AUs why would they become the villains of their worlds? What caused them to go down a separate path then their original counterparts?

No but fr tho imagine all the fucking rumours Dia has to hear from her manager abt her and Geeta tho hahaha these two are like the definition of kissing the homies goodnight and they can somewhat do it in the most platonic way like they'll sleep together whenever they're staying at another champion's or each other's place and the first time Geeta joined them the others also thought she and Dia were dating hahaha

And ohhh👀👀

Ngl tho, the villain Dia au was originally villain Lance bc I did write two chapters of it too, and he got Giratina from Cyrus hahaha so in a nutshell it's the same corrupted Galar League bc of Rose thing and Lance went all knight mode and killed Rose for Diantha. But another concept I thought that maybe he did snap sometime before that bc people kinda look down on him despite being the Indigo Champion now, as they know Red and Green are still around and those two just probs gave Lance that title bc they dont want it anymore, leading different lives now. And Lance didn't really take that well bc hey, he's a strong trainer y'know, ofc he's Champion, but still people kinda see him as a stand in for Red and Green and he fucking hates it, so during the tournament he went above and beyond to try and beat everyone, and if they're close to winning against him, well.. Dragonite's Hyper Beam will be the last thing they'll see

Idk how'd Steven would be villain tho bc of all the champions I see him as the kindest and the most open minded, so he'd probs have no problems other than the ones he buried for so long na. I do wanna say that maybe he does see Wallace struggling tho, and maybe he would want to change the world for him and Lisia bc hey, those two are his family now too, he loves them very much, and he doesn't like seeing Wallace struggle anymore, so maybe he would do a Diantha and change the world for the one he loves. Tho, unlike Dia, I imagine Steven as a villain to be the kind that's extremely inconspicuous, more so than Diantha. Like legitimately no one knows he's behind every shitty thing that's happening to those who don't like Wallace, bc unlike Dia who showed herself to Malva, Steven kept quiet and just watched from the sidelines

Same w Wallace ngl, but I also think that if smth were to happen to Lisia, he would snap and lash out on everyone. Think of Team Aqua, but tenfold, it didn't help he's the Guardian of Sootopolis too, this mf knows where Kyogre is and knows just what to do for the legendary Mon to bow to his will, and soon everyone will die in the same sorrowful waters that drowned him

God villain Cynthia is also reallyyyyy *wild hand gestures* cause like imagine her similar to Volo, acting all friendly then stabbing the trainer in the back. She knows abt Galactic and tried to "help" Dawn and Barry on stopping them, but she never really stopped them y'know, if you catch my drift. Like she's equally curious what Cyrus would do, what would happen if they open the portal to the Distortion World, and she did find out abt it. She watched Cyrus die in front of her, watched Dawn battle Giratina, and stared Giratina dead in the eyes, telling it that if he joins her, he'll finally escape the Distortion World and let the people see just how much more powerful he is compared to Arceus. And ough smth smth Giratina seeing Volo in Cynthia's place, sees the potential in Cynthia, and God imagine if Giratina did possess Cynthia tho, and Cynthia's playing along too bc now people really know she's unbeatable, now that she's a god.

Iris and Hau I can't imagine them as villains but I can imagine the others becoming villains for them. like,, back then I had this concept, y'know the song Hell's Coming With Me by Poor Man's Poison? I have this thought that people really looked down on them so much that the two became ashamed of showing themselves to the public, but Iris was pissed y'know, and made a vow that when she and Hau returns then all hell will break lose, she will make sure of it. The people thought she was just bluffing, but then suddenly all the champions went against the people of their region, against those who look down on Iris and Hau especially, and the two are just happy y'know that the other champions are "taking care" of em by taking out the people who shit talked them

Leon,, same w Wallace?? Like if smth happened to Hop? Cause he does care abt his bro y'know. But I also wanna add that maybe Rose did smth to Hop when Leon was acting out of line and that was the final straw for Leon and really up and killed Rose, bc Lee really couldn't bare the thought of smth happening to his brother, and if he's going to make sure nothing bad ever happens to the one he loves too (so basically like Diantha, do you see now why these two make me so fucking ill like cjmsndmd)

Ough Geeta my guy so in my hcs she's like,, she's struggling w feeling empathy, y'know, any sort of emotion really. And she's trying, and Diantha's helping her and such, but I also wanna say in the Villain Geeta au, as much as she loves Diantha, she also doesn't listen to her much. So most of the time she feels kinda empty, even though Diantha's helping her. I wanna say in this au, she did know what happened to Sada/Turo, and she was there when it happened, she knows what will happen, but she never warned them of the danger, bc maybe if smth happened to them she'd feel something too. And when they died, she didn't feel anything but the thrill of watching them dying over their own research. She didn't understand why, perhaps they weren't that close, but there's smth abt it y'know, watching others suffer that makes her feel some sort of thing, and it made her feel alive. Tho w this bc I'm trash for these two, if Dia did get hurt tho, that's when Geeta would really feel absolute anger, if those who hurt Dia won't die naturally, then she'll kill them herself. After all, it's one thing to feel that thrill watching someone die, imagine how much more she'd feel if she's the one to actually kill them
