having lots of thoughts about a npmd pokemon trainer au, so i made teams for the main six :] (headcanons/explanations below the cut!)
i gave all of them basic starters at various evolution levels since i always do that when designing teams for characters,, i think they'd keep their starters!
anyways,
pete has a shiny eelektrik that he stumbled across as a tynamo on complete accident. (he doesn't show anyone it though bc of his whole invisible at school thing, which was also my reasoning behind giving him kecleon)
ted gave pete his rufflet, not realizing how high leveled it had to be to evolve.
richie's prized pokemon is his mawile, which he definitely named asuka. he also values how defensive she is, and will use her against max's team (despite usually losing)
grace's spiritomb and greavard are her two favorite pokemon (not that she'd tell anyone that)..
^^ spiritomb's are said to curse those with bad thoughts and are formed from spirits, and houndstone has an ability that makes it stronger once every other pokemon on the team dies.. i thought both of those were pretty fitting for her.
i didn't want to give max a fully evolved team, but i did give him a team of basically all later-to-be meta mons since i think he'd probably take battling way too seriously.
i think steph would have a fondness for dark/ghost types, since a lot of them are just misunderstood. i also gave her a rotom because she cherishes her phone above all else (/j)
she hates battling and would much rather just care for her pokemon instead of subjecting them against other's. (she is very vocal about this to max, but he could care less)
ruth's team is almost entirely just vibes for me, besides her starter and eevee.
^^ primarina is a performer (an opera singer specifically), and i think that her having a pokemon that performs is just a nice touch :) with eevee, there are practically endless possibilities for what an eevee can become, so giving her one seemed like an easy choice.

i hope you know that LITD is so so good that it's definitely on my list of fics i want to bind when it's finished, it makes me ache in a way that not many fics have before, and it's definitely one of those fics that i think about during my day to day life, and theorize about and one of those fics that's so good that i audibly gasp every time i get an update email, so i can't wait to one day give the story a physical form on my bookshelf <3
OH MY GODS???
HEY WHAT-- HELLO?????? IM LITERALLY SPEECHLESS WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT TO BIND LITD. OH MY GODS?????? HOLY SHIT?????
literally sitting here staring at my phone in absolute shock /pos i dont even know what to say. Holy shit thank you so much???? The fact that you love hunger au enough to want to book bind it makes me honest to gods a little teary. Im so glad you're so invested in the fic and i hope you enjoy the upcoming chapter once i get it finished 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

I want to talk about all the details I put into the Ties comic cause I worked on that thing for like a week and my brain likes to think about many things
Anyway, pspspsps I'm info dumping about my own designs gather round.
Notes for the character designs themselves
-The colours show if they are Red/Yellow/Green are different per character. Tango with bright colours, Skizz's are cool and dark, Impulses are more yellow, and Ethos are more desaturated.
-Not all characters in the Life Games will get colour indicators in their eyes, the fact 3/4 of the designs here have it is unimportant shut
-Impulse has a heart knot in his tie!! Look at it!!
-Impulse cannot tie a tie. Tango does it for him.
-Tango having his tie undone is his own choice
-The choice of them having/not having pupils is intentional.
-Etho only has the one on one side, maybe its cause the red eyes a little fucky in the vision, who knows though
-Impulse has i's in the eyes
-Skizz just straight up doesn't have em, but I normally don't draw pupils with that iris shape anyway. something something normally only draw that iris style with certain magical characters
-I just stopped drawing with Tango with iris' at some point, idk
-Skizz is designed as a fallen angel. that's why the halo's are all separated/broken, and why you can see darker feathers growing
-maybe Impulse used to help him dye them white cause of some insecurity, maybe not
-the lower his lives go, the less dark feathers are seen in his wings. like a cruel joke the watchers get a kick out of
-mullet Skizz MULLET SKIZZ!!!!!
-Etho is a sentimental mf /pos. they will keep and make a lot of patches for memory's and stuff. notable patches are, The NHO patch, a creeper cause of general Spazz, Canada flag cause Canadian /j, I normally add rainbow ones for the button saga of s7 but forgot to this time.
-the rings are from all their divorces /J
-the colours on the rings correlate to their owners (Bdubs, Cleo, Joel) lives. ie will be red if one of them is red kinda thing.
think that's the most of the design thoughts, now the Details in the comic itself,,,
-Skizz is the kinda mf who would fiddle//stim with random things in his hands. Many times its other peoples hands
-dude will just hold peoples hands randomly when talking to them, team Ties just got used to it
-That's why Etho took so long to notice the bracelet!
-their ass isn't phased by this kinda stuff anymore /hj
-Skizz just enjoys contact man let me be
-Throughout most of the comic Skizz has some sort of contact with Etho
-Tango and impulse also end up giving Etho bracelets as well
-All the bracelets Etho gets share their colour indicator + the colour form the person who made it!
-you can see the colours slowly shift when Skizz ties on the bracelet, something something the magic of the world does some shit sometimes man.
-Skizz taught Impulse how to make the bracelets, so they have similar styles, Skizz's is more of a simple braid style though.
-Tango went for something that took longer to do. it is a little scuffed /pos
-Ethos been getting their ass handed to them the episode before this, had to rightfully reflect that. you know? /j
-the Slashes across their chest where form when Gem/Cleo killed them twice in that one episode.
-The bite was originally supposed to be cause of Scars dogs. But someone in a reply made a joke about it, and frankly I think it'd be funnier if it was cause of Joel or some shit like they said.
-Had the axe as more of a battle-axe style. It was something Impulse made for Skizz (I forget who actually made it//Didn't want to go back to check)
-I like showing characters having specific styles/ways they make armor and tools.
-It's fun to show characters with tools and armor that can be distinctly seen as being made by another player
-That being an axe Impulse made adds more weight to the narrative of this moment and I want people to cry
-something something for Etho its a moment of taking a weapon that Impulse made to protect Skizz, and using that as the tool that finally kills him
-For Skizz this is a moment of his trust and care for his teammates. Being surrounded by people that he cares about and tokens that show their love for each other.
-Suffer, I could have been angstyier, and I will be actualy.
-Skizz is the one putting the axe to his own neck in this moment. Etho is putting as little force into it as they can.
-Red king parallels who-
-Etho also gets cut by the axe, something about sacrifice and how no life/time can truly be free in these life games
-The blood wasn't actually intended to be golden ichor, I was just lazy and didn't want to draw red blood// wanted to have the cool lighting effect
-Etho has the same colour in their blood too so, take it as you will
-I've had this comic planed since EPICODE ONE. had full intentions for it to go angsty in the end, and dam if the narrative didn't play right into my grubby little hands.
-I also just love how well I could parallel the moments in this comic. the comparison of the pages where both their faces are visible? the Joy in ethos face turning to complete anguish? the fact Skizz never stopped smiling?
the way both moments start with an outstretched hand, and end with Skizz still holding onto Etho in a moment of trust? beautiful
-all the pages in the second part of the comic were framed specifically so I could avoid drawing Skizz ass.
