So, this isn’t the Pokemon Fantasy au, but this my own story I came up with. This takes a lot from Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Zelda Series, Miraculous Ladybug, and Genshin Impact/Honkai Star Rail(is this the correct spelling).

Basically, people can manipulate different elements. Water, Earth, Fire, Wind/Air, and Electricity (technically polar forces ex. Magnetism). Like Avatar, each element has a nation that only has people who can manipulate that element (ex. Earth people in the Earth nation).

Also, each nation has at least one person who has “divine favor shone upon them.” This person/these people can go beyond the limits a person has. For example, the people with electric manipulation have to eat a lot because their power uses energy from food, unlike other people’s elements.

Taking from he Jin Yuan trailer for Honkai Star Rail, the blessed person/people can also have this aether power or such (i haven’t decoded yet) that goes with the philosophy of each nation (like Genshin or Avatar). Earth people’s Aether power is being able to be discs. These can be a shield of some sort. The others? I am going back and forth on the rest.

Each nation will be reminiscent of less white based (wtf am I saying?) nations, and more of minority group nations. I should really stop saying nations, they’re more like races, and each ethnic group has a nation. For example, the earth people are a mixture of all the Roman Catholic Church’s territory in the Middle Ages(? I suck at history), and the Fire (which is really just heat) race is more based off of Africa. The wind race and electric race are a conglomeration of Asian countries. The water race are based off of the Americas and Inuit peoples.

I have a bunch of ideas for this. There’s gonna be different blessed people from different generations. Think about if Avatar’s (…) Avatar cycle paired with, like, the Genshin Impact time loop theory.

I still find it so funny that Path of Fire takes place in the Crystal Desert because like:

Rogue human god cast out by his peers goes on a revenge crusade during which he tears through the Crystal Desert/Elona and leaves permanent damage and corruption in his wake part 2, electric boogaloo (now it’s fire themed)

i actually enjoyed a lot of twn s3 but i see it repeated fairly often that it followed the books fairly closely (or at least more closely than s2) but listen. having freshly reread time of contempt, in my opinion, s3 somehow followed the books LESS than other seasons.

s1 and s2 were both often working with original content in between book canon scenes. but s3, as much as it did seem to go beat for beat following time of contempt's plot... somehow ends up changing almost every single plot point in some way.

yennefer travels with ciri and geralt together. geralt is pissed at yennefer and doesn't speak to her for a whole year. ciri wounds (maybe kills?) elves at shaerrawedd. yennefer calls ciri "ugly one" without the follow up context of their "you're already pretty" convo. geography is ?? travel is ?? the politics is flattened out to redania vs nilfgaard. the scoia'tael conflict is flattened out. aplegatt's story gets repurposed with none of the actual consequences that made that story in the books have an emotional impact because there is none of the same geopolitical plot.

tissaia stands with and frees vilgefortz out of love for him instead of standing against both the genocide and warfare of the northern kings and the imperialism of nilfgaard. the coup plot seems to be a last minute decision by philippa based on what?? who knows!! the last vilgefortz joins emhyr in nilfgaard??? yennefer calls the conclave and heads up the lodge????

so yes, it pulls some lines and scenes directly from the books and nods to them fairly often but in no way was s3 a closer or more faithful adaptation of the books than s2. it truly, fully misses something huge in almost every story beat.

as an Australian you American blokes have got to stop talking about huntsman spiders like that. don't diss my weird little lanky wallclimber friends, they're not horrible awful freaks of nature who chase you and bite you on contact. they're actually very docile and timid and they're very reluctant to bite. like, all they really want to do is hang out on your walls or your ceiling and eat bugs all day. huntsman spiders are way more likely to run away from you and go hide away in your pantry than they are to go out of their way to bite you. biting you would probably put them in even more danger than if they just ran away, and if you are messing with a huntsman spider enough for it to bite you, you were likely being an asshole to it. they do not want to bite people! they don't chase you either, not on purpose anyway. the reason it might seem like one is running towards you is because huntsman spiders have pretty bad eyesight and literally cannot see you properly. it can absolutely be frightening and jarring, yes, i would understand as i have arachnophobia and have expereniced the fear of a huntsman unintentionally jumping or sprinting towards me, but they do not want to chase you or scare you. they are trying to run away. they are in the same boat as you, they're scared out of their wits and are trying to avoid danger. huntsman spiders are not these horrible dangerous freaks, they're just little (and sometimes not so little) guys. they can be scary, but all the miconceptions about them are not warranted or deserved in the slightest! and anyway, they're not even "only in Australia". we are home to many huntsman spiders, but they are also present in Asia, Africa and some places in America. they're not even exclusive to this country so i don't get why "only in Australia" gets hurled at them a lot.

actually, the whole attitude Americans have of Australia having weird and dangerous wildlife and the same old "only in Australia!!1!! kill it with fire lol!!!!1!" reddit drivel is pretty shitty overall tbh. every continent on the damn planet has weird and dangerous wildlife, why are we acting like it's JUST Australia you should stay away from???? America has some fuckin strange animals living there, you don't see as many people making a big stupid spectacle out of that. Australia's wildlife is unique and beautiful and wonderful, no Australian wildlife slander in my notes.

Been working on a new type of guy

[skrunksthatwunk]

kinda drives me up a wall when people go "hey i think x action in a war/combat scenario is inhumane and cruel and shitty" and someone responds with "oh but within the laws of war it's allowed or there's procedure for it etc etc". it doesn't have to be a war crime to be unforgivable man it's a shitty rulebook anyway

what gets me sometimes w the idea of the calamity is that there are probably places in the deserts of thanalan where the fire of bahamut turned the sand to glass and it’s just. a few handfuls of sand there are layers of glass

Hmmmmmmm ok so I did enjoy PL a lot and there are a lot of themes/elements I want to explore but I’d have to reimagine it from a very different POV 🤔

Cuz I want it with my nomad V but he’s already more or less established as a fixer-in-training with Rogue so it’d have to be… well. Johnny.
