Do you think you could do pangender Hisuian Zorua? Have not seen pangender on much before and I just started identifying with it :]

soft...

[draystersden]

I’m not a major alloyshipper but you are swaying me lol

Imagining Drayton thinking it’s almost completely one sided and his teasing and flirting (even the more genuine ones such as expressing his love language: whichever you believe his is) is just getting ignored…

Only for Amarys to be absolutely smitten later on in her dorm and not knowing who to talk to (because like all of the BBE4 hate/dislike Drayton as well as a large amount of the school)

Idk, I think it’s cute, especially the idea of Amarys steadily beginning to return some affection and Drayton assuming it was just a thanks. Just teenager struggles to admit feelings, you know?

Yeeeeees. The Alloyshipping propaganda is working... >:)

I just LOVE them both having feelings for each other, but they're at an impasse for their own individual silly reasons. Drayton thinks his feelings aren't returned, Amarys has no idea how to process or express her own. And like you said, Drayton's disliked by a lot of people and the ones who tolerate him at best (like Lacey) probably wouldn't have any helpful advice to give.

They still hang out in the clubroom at least from time to time, and Amarys slowly warms up to him. Drayton believing she's merely being grateful or polite because of his affectionate signs is precious. Somehow, someway, something will give and they'll make progress...

(I'm very tickled by the idea of Kieran getting fed up because HE can tell they both like each other, and he tries to break the ice himself by getting them together hehe)

[pokemonblack3white3]

I don’t know if you’ve ever combined isekieran and isecarmine.. but I think it’d be really interesting to see Kieran possibly distrusting her from the original Hisuian Zoroark?

If you don’t want that- I do wanna comment that I absolutely adore Kieran getting Phione. He deserves it. Love your art btw

ohhhhhh my god wait. Wait. Hold on.

Okay I've been considering a scenario where kieran sees carmine for the first time after getting sent home and doesn't trust her at first but that was always in the context of solely the isekerian au. I assume you're implying here that Kieran and carmine get sent together to hisui which is fucking diabolical considering one of the main differences in these aus is that Kieran keeps his memories and Carmine loses hers. And they get sent there at point in the DLC story where Kieran was being a complete jackass to her?????

ARE YOU SERIOUS ISECARMINE'S ACE IS A ZOROARK TOO THAT'S SO FUCKED???????????????

Alright Kings, Queens, and Monarchs of all kinds.

Time for more Noble's will Au stuff I thought up.

This will have a Official tag if anyone wants to check it out. Under "Noble's will AU"

Thanks to the wonderful mutual @creatingnonsense , more ideas were played out, so Im putting them here.

Once a Warden completes their trial, a mark from the noble would be added to their body, a testament to their will. It can be shown as scars or as markings. Its a way to show that the human have managed to complete this task and gained the grand title of Warden.

For scars, Melli has a healed lightning (litchenburg) scar across his face and back, Palina would have light burn scars on her feet and ankles.

For markings, Arezu would have a leaf-like tattoo on her left leg, and Sabi would have a marking of a feather on her hand.

Wardens also become like second parents/older siblings to the Noble's children, helping them raise the next generation. In some cases, Wardens would take up the mantle of raising the runts when the Noble are not able to do it themselves, especailly when the Noble is sick or hurt.

You can catch one of the wardens sometimes followed around by a tiny group of pokemon, like a mother duck being followed by their babies.

Example: "Mama" Melli being followed by a group of rambunctious voltorbs, or "Big brother" Lian helping young Scyther sharpen their blades with stones. "Papa" Iscan helps guide the Basculin upstream, and "little doe" Mai takes time to comb through Stantler fawn 's fur of barbs and thorns.

Paternal/ maternal instinct is activated whenever the noble does have their heirs, making sure to protect the litter like they would for human children. Which is why they were given their blessings in the first place.

Either from other pokemon, like Alphas, or humans that could harm or kill them, like hunters or poachers.

Example: Ingo once bit a poacher out of instinct from harming a Sneasel kit, and it was realized that this developed poison glands in his teeth and fingertips, similar to his noble. Or, Calaba causing a mudslide to bury some Toxicroak who got WAY too close to some Teddyursas she was watching over.

Heavily inspired from a fic called "To act and not wallow" by Jalowy on Ao3 , Noble pokemon have sacred "true names", given to them at birth from their parents' warden.. It holds a slight power of them, being able to soothe a distressed noble pokemon's heart during bad times or to bring it joy during times of joy.

The noble is able to hear their name being called no matter how far their warden is away from them, they will always come running.

Only the warden may know the Noble's true name. It is the first thing they know about the noble pokemon when their bond is first made, immediately waking from the soulspace with the name whispered to them. Other wardens and even the clan leaders know it, but they cannot say it, only the warden of that specific noble can speak their name truly.

Hence why when a Noble loses a warden, their heart "dies" because due to them unable to hear their name spoken once more to soothe their hurting heart.

I will be making a separate post listing the trials each warden has gone through, and the true name of the Noble Pokemon. I only got a few so far, so if you have ideas for a trial, please let me know so I can properly tag your idea.

My concepts for some of the medallion flairs with my swap mu.. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO GAVE ME IDEAS <3333 i think it was @ashfluffys who gave some of the medallion ideas here.. as you can see, i have barely any flairs for running, ice, wanderer (my swap ver of dweller) and time stop... I DIDNT HAVE THAT MANY IDEAS OKAY

Me when I forget the brewing medallion

This was cute af to draw @creatingnonsense the beads on her mustache suit her alot more than i thought... nd I swear one person said to use mustache gel as a joke which is ICONIC HELP LMAOOO. I was gonna draw her holding a jar of gel like 'the peck do I do with this????????' but I forgot LMAO

[creatingnonsense]

God I hate when I get burnt out cause I have ideas but no energy. So far my checklist is:

-Finish ‘Steal a Dragon, Earn Rubies of your Blood’ fic and post it

-Move all my posted fics on here onto my notes app for safe keeping/easy access

-READ other’s fics (specifically the Isekieran AU fic and the Noble’s Will AU fics) + Make an AO3 account cause it’s been 3 years and I still just have over 80+ tabs open with fics instead

-Draw Nerium taken over by Nihilego for Bad End AU

-Draw Sylas in Bad End AU/Ref for Sylas revision

-Draw Amara and Sybil

-Write a few other fic ideas (Sylas, Drayton, and Iris as Calyrex and the Loyal Steeds add on to mysticarandomhorde’s Tao trio Drayden, Emmet, and Ingo / Dragon centaur family with Drayden and the others / Bad End AU: Drayden Lives)

-Revise OCs, and redraw some of them (Fanji, Hood, Omega Opalhint, Echo Moira/Silent Spider, Fifi and Ion, ??? Tropicpoison/Buddy, Kiva Neoswitch, Sino Notecoal, Nexus Drifter)

-Draw and detail new Cookie Run OCs (Graham Cracker Sphinx Cookie, Gooey Butter Cookie, Provel Cookie, and Tres Leches Cookie)

-Finish refs for the rest of the AFIT kids (A Hat In Time AU I made)

-Look over old OC ideas and consider revising them (probably not for most of them, the GF OCs are gone now, Tangle and Cluster are too complicated for right now, I’m not even gonna talk about Red and Rouge)

-Finish Pokémon X

Just have so much on my plate and no idea on what to do next..

[Cross out means it’s been done]

Edit: all the fics on this post need to be done as well..

[dailytricksterfox]

Really love your pride foxes (pan Hisuian Zorua is my fav) but I wanted to ask if you have any specific guidelines on which flags can be suggested? Cause lots of the suggested are some of the more common ones and I wasn’t sure if something like pangender or xenogender is too specific for the request? Would you want a picture of the flag for reference?

Tbh I don't have any guidelines, pretty much any flags goes.

This is my first year doing it on this blog, but I have done it a couple of years on my eon blog and I did do some very specific flags!

If there are multiple versions of a flag or there isn't a main one, a picture is appreciated.

Just know I do get a lot of requests and I can't possibly do them all!

Random alloyshipping prompt for ya,

Jealousy, from both sides.

Some new kid comes into school and both of them feel a spark of jealousy at how close this idiot is to their partner.

This was fun to think about! *rubs my hands together*

Starting with Amarys as her side is more complex, she's...surprised by her feelings initially. Let's go with the premise that this new kid joins the League Club. It's very good for club members to get to know one another, especially them as the Elite Four since they're the main ones responsible for handling general club matters and reporting to their adult advisors. It's important that individuals feel comfortable enough to come to them if they're experiencing problems.

This new kid getting rather close, or trying to get close, to Drayton wouldn't set off any red flags right away. It's not until they start expressing intentions not of the friendly nature that she pauses. Now, it's not like she and Drayton are super open with their relationship. No PDA makes it not obvious, until you pay extra close attention to how they interact with each other. They don't hide the fact they're dating though, if anyone asks they'll be honest.

Drayton would be very amused, and play along just to mess with the newbie. THIS is what heightens Amarys's discomfort, though she can't pinpoint why seeing someone flirt with Drayton & he not deflect them bothers her so much. Carmine's tapped in, and Amarys vents to her. She just bluntly says "you're jealous. tell that bozo to not engage with them like that". This news comes as a big revelation, but then it makes perfect sense. Yeah, she doesn't like someone getting too comfy with her boyfriend because...she doesn't. THEY'RE together, and it's not an open thing.

She confesses her thoughts to Drayton, who immediately gets apologetic. He didn't think she would actually get bothered by he humoring their advances, otherwise he wouldn't have done it to begin with. Drayton rectifies it all next time by telling the newbie that he's taken, and while he's flattered by the attention, he's not on the market. He also takes this as a lesson to be more attentive to Amarys's emotions, since she doesn't readily express them and she really is more sensitive than she seems.

Now, for Drayton! His is more simplistic and probably what you're expecting.

He recognizes the feeling of jealousy, but Drayton isn't one to get jealous even semi-often, because he just doesn't care enough about most things. Amarys is an entirely different story, and once he sees a new club member trying to flirt with her, a switch gets flipped.

You see, Drayton is honestly very...protective on the inside. You can even describe it as possessive. It manifests in an indirect way with how he clings to the school life, despite his time of needing to graduate and move on having passed too long ago. But here, the jealousy will make it spark into a blazing fire.

Things do depend on how Amarys handles it, but she's an awkward girl when it comes to stuff like this + how she can't remember the last time she was flirted with. She'd likely be unsure of how to respond, outside of telling the newbie that she prefers them to address her more formally. They don't exactly take the hint. THAT'S what gets Drayton to heat up.

He'll mosey on over and greet the newbie in his typically casual way, but his threatening tone of voice makes it clear that he's not in a friendly mood. He points out that Amarys asked them to cut it out, so they should wise up and do so. As he's saying this, Drayton's lax smile completely drops and he fixes them with a such a piercing glare that it genuinely scares them. They rush out an apology and promptly run-walk out of the clubroom.

Amarys is bewildered. Drayton looks at her like he didn't just potentially scare off a member their club just got, and asks if she's feeling alright. She gets out that she didn't like them flirting with her, but she didn't think he would intervene like that. Drayton makes it crystal clear that she is HIS girl, and he has no problem with driving off anybody who gets bright ideas. She's heavily flattered, but does tell him that she'll try to be more assertive and make the fact that she's taken clearer, so he wouldn't have to fight battles like that for her.

[draystersden]

You’re like the only Drayton focused blog I’ve found and I wanted to bring up something I’ve seen in game but no one talks about.

So every time you beat anyone in the League Club after the player becomes champion, they’ll give you an item as the usual but Drayton is different in how he gives it to you.

For some reason; he’s the only one to give it to the player in what seems like a time when no one is visiting the room. Every other character just gives it to you back in the spot they were when you asked to battle, but Drayton always gives it to you standing in front of the desk where the League Club Room is empty.

I don’t know if it’s got any specific meaning but I always thought it was neat.

[Also: not sure your policy on asks, I read your pinned and didn’t see anything so I hope this is okay. If not, apologies, I just enjoy your content.]

I love getting asks! My inbox is always accepting, I'm happy to answer whatever or just chat!

But as for what you said 👀 You're so right, I never noticed that before! I had to peek at the couple of screencaps I have of him giving me an item just to double check. I do wonder why that is....can't even guess on an IRL reason in terms of what the devs's thought process could've been. It could just be an oversight, but that's the boring way to regard it.

Maybe Drayton likes doing overtly generous or kind things when no one's really looking? To maintain his cool, detached persona. A lot of characters do imply that he's widely viewed as a person you can't quite get close to emotionally-wise because of how he likes being sly and frivolous. (If that is the case, it's pretty cute and funny. Drayton's a nice person but he doesn't want people thinking he's soft or w/e-)

Thank you for enjoying my content ;u;

[draystersden]

You’re like the only person I could talk to about Amarys but..

While I’m not like her #1 fan, I do hate how they treated her as a character for the entirety of the DLC. I really like her personality and how stoic and ‘unemotive’ she is but I HATE how they tossed it decently aside to make her the token ‘oh the others in the BBE4 (besides Drayton) actually do care about Kieran because look she has a crush on him!!’

While that’s probably a nuanced way of seeing it, I definitely wish they did a bit more with her character.

You're so valid for feeling this way, because I honestly feel the same way a bit.

I really like Amarys because her personality is a nice change of pace + she's virtually the perfect counter to everyone's chaotic-ness while still being silly in her own right! She has the makings for an interesting backstory too (I wrote a couple of headcanons about it in the past, though they might be on my old acc? I'll have to check). Also, as someone who's black, it makes me very happy to see another blatantly black-coded character in pokemon. Amarys and Ryme are peak. 💜

However, Amarys's crush on Kieran does feel underbaked. Mainly because outside of some humorous moments with the protag, it goes nowhere. We don't even really get the chance to see her interact WITH Kieran, outside of the post-game clubroom dialogue. They're implied to have chemistry together at least as friends, but we get no showing of that in action pretty much. So, why should we care about the crush then? It is disappointing, as is how both DLC stories were handled altogether.

IMO Kieran's villain arc is contrived, which makes the nonsense in Indigo Disk feel like it's pointless - blah blah, I've gone on rants about this before so I won't do it here (unless I'm asked to ofc). All of the DLC characters would've benefitted from a more cohesive story.

What honestly upsets me with Amarys more than how she's done in canon, is how the fandom treats her! I've read a fair amount of Indigo Disk-based fics, and so many authors either half-ass her dialogue (yea she talks in a "robotic" way but it's really not that hard to get down IC-ly) or don't include her in scenes at all - despite all the other E4 members being present. Hm.

I've seen little representation of her in fanart too, especially compared to the others. Hmm.

As the cherry on top: despite how shipping culture never cares about whether a ship actually makes sense or not, I've only ever seen ONE piece of fanart that was remotely Amarys/Kieran flavored. One. Hmmm.

[pokemonblack3white3]

My beautiful mutuals if you have any pokemon OCs please please please tell me about them I am begging you I want our OCs to frolick in the fields of friendship together or possibly kill each other whichever is more appropriate

[pokemonblack3white3]

I love Dietes she's so beautiful.

I feel like Drayton is one of those characters that everyone sees as trans, just not always in the same direction.

I'm personally a Drayton trans man truther but Dietes is as equally true in my mind. Schrodingers Transgender

THANK YOU I ALSO ADORE DIETES. I love all trans HCs I've seen a lot of nonbinary Drayton which rules. Transmasc Drayton goes crazy as well!!! Drayton is for sure one of those characters I look at and go oh there is something so deeply ptransgender about you. That stupid cape wants to be a skirt so bad.

[pokemonblack3white3]

@creatingnonsense not adding this to the original post because it's already way too long but this is for you

[mysticasrandomhorde]

*breathes*

I have a random idea for my Noble's will AU. ( @creatingnonsense , hear me out.)

Do you think wardens have days were just go completely feral for no reason?

Like, they had a very stressful day, and they're just like "SCREW IT, Im turning my human side off for the day" and just embrace their pokemon side.

And I can see their fellow clan members just having to deal with it.

Like, I can see they can take it as a sign that someone or something pissed them off.

Imagine a Diamond Clan member spotting Arezu standing into the sun with random plants growing around and her and people knocked out by her pollen, and going "Alright, who pissed her off, fess up"

Or Palina burning the nearest trees and scratching it until its ash, and then rolling around in it.

I just want the wardens to be like the local cyrptids of their clans, just FREAKY to deal with.

I can see somebody heading to the coast to deliver supplies to Iscan late at night, and they just see this man crawl out of the water, covered in seaweed, with a haf-eaten Magikarp in his mouth, with his eyes glowing in the dark.

(I see Basculegion as a prey pokemon, but it DOESNT MEAN they aren't against eating OTHER fish-like pokemon. LIke in nature, herbivores are herbivores ONLY because its food are available.)

..the person almost lost their soul from fear until Iscan spoke.

Blessings: Gained expert-like agility and reflexes, along with immunity to poison. Increased speed and ability to climb steep surfaces. Has claws and fangs laced with poison, light fur covering his arms.

Gaeric: Had to take a plunge into freezing cold water before making the trek up to the peak of the Icelands while Lord Avalugg blasted cold air down, making the participant be knocked off the path. Managed to make it up there before sunrise, on his knees half -frozen and slowly succumbing to frostbite. Gained a snowflake tattoo as his forearm as his marking.

Blessings: Immunity to the cold along with immense strength, crystals of ice collect on his skin and harden like armor. Can summon and manipulate snow/ice, along with summons snowstorms.

Bonus one

Irida: Gained the role of clan leader after her older sister, Palina, refused it so to take the Noble Arcanine's trial. After taking the Oath, she takes a trek up to the Temple of Sinnoh at Sundown, getting past obstacles made by the wardens.
