Giratina! Larry AU Evidence

I’m going to do it, I really have gone insane haha. After my Missingno! Larry post, I thought it would be funny to do a Giratina! Larry post also giving evidence. This is all just for fun please don’t take me seriously

Larry has exactly six strands of flyaway grey hairs. Giratina has a reoccurring motif of six: six red spikes on the wings, six legs, six wings in its Origin form, and six gold spikes on its chest. Perhaps no matter what form Giratina takes, six is a constant motif?

Larry has three noticeable clouds on his tie (he has more, but y’know). Three is a pretty important number in Diamond and Pearl for the Creation Trio and the Lake Trio. Continuing this theme is the fact that Larry has three jobs.

Giratina observes from the Distortion World (it silently gazes upon the old world), and Larry is known as the The Exceptional Everyman. The everyman character is meant to connect with the audience for how normal he is. Part of what distinguishes the Everyman from or hero or villain is that he observes and avoids engaging in situations unless he is forced to. Larry has a very passive role, keeping an eye on everything. (I hold onto the theory that Larry is in Medali to watch over Area Zero)

Larry’s facade doesn’t make much sense. I made a post about his Facade in case you want more in depth explanation, but it’s never made clear what his “facade” really is. He doesn’t hide his emotions or his position as an Elite Four member, so maybe his entire being as a person is his facade.

His title can be very deceptive as the “Exceptional” Everyman. Exceptional can mean “outstanding,” but also “unusual” and “abnormal.”

I love the reoccurring joke about Larry’s mysteriousness, but really, his identity as a gym leader and an Elite Four member is purposefully kept in the dark. Even in the art book, there's a question mark instead of a photo of him in the Elite Four section, and he keeps his back turned whenever there are photos of him.

Giratina is on the cover for Pokémon Platinum, Larry has platinum eyes. Plus, with all the focus on the Diamond and Pearl games lately (remake, Legends Arceus), this lines up

Larry is unique for several reasons, such as being the only character to be both a gym leader and Elite Four member, only gym leader to battle inside, terastallize more than one Pokemon, and only character to have square-shaped eyes. Giratina is unique in the Creation Trio for having its own battle music, different stats, even different box art. Giratina is also the tallest Generation IV pokemon, and Larry is one of the tallest characters in SV.

Regular Giratina’s color scheme features red and gold, quite an opposite to Larry. However, Shiny Giratina’s color scheme is blue and silver. Am I trying to imply that Larry is a shiny Giratina? Yes.

Giratina represents Antimatter. I always thought this was a unique choice to complete the Space and Time duo. Pokémon depicts it as an opposite force through the Distortion World. Larry stands out A LOT because of how normal he is compared to literally every other character in Pokemon. Giratina sees reality different than the normal Pokemon world, where "common knowledge is distorted and strange." Perhaps he designed his appearance off of what was normal to him? I’ve seen people say that Larry looks like he doesn't even belong in the world of Pokémon. He’s normal to us, as the players, which in theory makes him not normal to the Pokémon universe. Additionally, Larry is the only character in Scarlet and Violet, and I think even in the whole Pokemon universe, to have square-shaped eyes.

The Summoning of the Everyman is a 15th-century morality play where the English word “Everyman” was first used and defined. A morality play often features personified concepts, angels, and demons. These characters often try to convince the generic everyman towards either good or evil, so morality plays center around temptation, the fall, and redemption of the Everyman. It’s a very religious story, but I won’t go too deep in those aspects. There are certainly some religious influences in the concept of Arceus and Giratina, as Giratinia is literally the Renegade Pokemon (although Giratina is not a representation of death, underworld, or the devil). Oddly coincidental connection to the play??

The conclusion? I’ve become insane, but Giratina! Larry suffers from a similar situation to Missingno!Larry where he tries way too hard to be human. Shiny Girantina is drinking his coffee while desperately trying to hold on to a resemblance of sanity, and trying to make it through the work day.

Yes I’ll also be making a Arceus! Larry post because ive already gone this far xD

Steve would be so shocked the first time you feel him up while you think he’s sleeping.

Tw: dubcon, a small bit of internalized homophobia

It’s way past midnight but the television is still playing the seventh movie you guys brought to pull a all nighter or more like for you to pull a all nighter since Steve always fell asleep so early, somewhere between the third movie.

This time though, Steve decided to stay up secretly and see if you really watched every movie or you were just lying.

And truth be told, you were watching all movies, not letting your attention digress.

After the seventh movies finish and the eights start your mind started to wander and you looked at Steve laying down next to you, squirming as though he was having a nightmare, though in reality he felt nervous at the way you were staring at him.

“Steve?”

No answer.

This is when you started to touch him.

You started with his thighs, gently needing the flesh in you hands, moving upwards to trace his V line, pushing your head down to trail it with kisses.

Now Steve was excited freaking out.

Why the hell was his best friend doing this?

Plus they were both guys so was this ok? wasn’t this wrong?

A guy could shouldn’t like another guy!

And he definitely wanted him to shouldn’t touch him this way!

Why did it feel good? It’s not wrong!

Hes wanted this for so long

He felt like he was gonna die.

You stopped touching him after a while, turning off the movie and going to bed.

But ha! You didn’t finish the eight movie fully and he knows.

So how does he bring that up without mentioning the touching?

Some people are just boring like, what do you mean you brain doesnt start screaming at you at 11pm so you create a religion that is oriented towards virtues and their personifications instead of gods

Art I did for two of my three players in a Starfinder game (@doublajynxx Get me pictures of Trissaez!)

Meet Xenith and Zara Alzani, the Kitsune Solarian and uhh, "Gnoll" Nanocyte who have joined the fight against the Swarm. Oh, dw about the booze kit, or that weird smokey smell. Nope, not something you need concern yourself with.

You do not have permission to use my art, not for your own use or for AI horseshit.

girls be like you mind if i put ptolemaea by ethel cain on my oc playlist? and then not wait for an answer

genuinely i think it's important for adults, especially in the plague times, to play pretend in our day-to-day lives. when i rub my back down with tiger balm so i can sleep without pain, i imagine i am a valiant knight tending to an old injury i received from a dragon. when i go to the store to pick up eggs and milk, i am a lone cowboy riding into town on a mission. when i turn my collar up against the wind i am a femme fatale who's killed 4 husbands and is scoping out a 5th. when i stomp around in the snow i am a doomed polar explorer. if being a little bit silly about my walk to the pharmacy helps me remember that life can be full of joy and whimsy, then so be it.
