#indigo disk liveblog

[verdantmeadows]

Giacomo, Ortega, and Atticus (at least only because we've seen him without the mask before this) are all pretty recognizable for the most part, but God, ERI????? MELA?? Mela looks like she's TWELVE without her usual outfit and makeup and Eri is just, like, well. Unrecognizable. Although I'm so glad to see how they all look when not dressed up!

(And for those worried, no, this isn't permanent, it's because they're studying/doing makeup tests since they missed a lot of school as Team Star and Eri specifically wanted them to be in their uniforms since it's easier.)

FINALLY starting the indigo disk so i will liveblog my thoughts here

[verdantmeadows]

There's literally so many things I could say about this entire scene from Kieran to Drayton but I will just say that, it's INCREDIBLY funny how Drayton is just, OBJECTIVELY manipulating us, but he gets away with it. DESPITE EVERYONE knowing he's being manipulative. Because it's funny. And he's silly with it. He's just a silly guy. He's got silly lazy swag.

+ His dialogue if you say no

[kogameh]

I didn't liveblog the epilogue like I did with Teal Mask since I moved my reactions to twt but my goooooood it was so GOOD 😭 I'm kinda obsessed with it actually. Everyone was so full of personality and there's a LOT you can dissect from their lines and interactions!! The writers really do a lot of care into them oh my god

Again there's a Lot to dissect even if the story is like. what. 1 hour long but fav highlights on top of my head are:

ARVEN BEING JEALOUS OF KIERAN LMAOOOO This is like THE popular headcanon when Kieran first existed and its REAL????

There's just a lot of lines where the gang def hang out a lot off screen like Penny going all "You want to meet Kieran because you want to BATTLE him, dont you?" at Nemona and Arven thinking Nemona is gonna jumpscare them when she went missing bc he predict her all too well augahaghah... I love when it shows that theyre close ya know...

Also some little details easily missable in dialogues like Penny (and Nemona?) having sweet tooth and Carmine's fav food being yakisoba, etc, I'm def scratching the surface here lol

AND THEN HOW ARVEN AND KIERAN BECAME BESTIES SO FAST DESPITE HOW THEY FIRST MET AAAAAAH i REALLY hope they get to play games and watch movies on that tv-

Actually the whole Paldea-gumi got along with Kieran fast like how Nemona is excited (but also scares Kieran) on finding another person to battle with...and Penny vibing with another introvert/shy friend... He deserves it sooooo muuuuuch

Uh. The whole zombie infection thing actually horrifies me (in a way it flinches me to see my favs being put in an embarrassing situation #&@%&@) BUT I will say I like how Kieran is the main tsukkomi here and some parts shows he still have his, uh, unwell side.

Also being a sgao enjoyer they DEF get a lot of moments and I'm so glad they teamed up 😭 It's funny how much people (including me) are expecting Kieran to be under the Momotaro's influence only for him to be the two survivors along with MC £^*@^@*@&

Speaking of, Pecharunt actually didn't get much role here outside of being the mastermind which def disappointed a lot of people wanting more lore on the Pokemon side so yeah....its kinda funny that THE main purpose of this distribution got put in the backburner like that. In fact both Indigo Disk and this event feels more character-focused over the Pokemons? ^#*@^@*^ Which is kinda a risky move considering most Pkmn fans can't rea-

In the end they did implied they hang out off screen but that left me wanting MORE... Can I get an iyashikei with just Paldea-gumi and Kitakami siblings PLEASEEEEEEE

The whole thing feels like a stupid B-movie plot and I LOVE it...a proof that some stories don't have to be a masterpiece if its already brimming with personalities and charm. Why am I seeing fuckers complaining over more buttons to mash just go back to previous gens if you want your bland ass mythical distributions via PokeCen NPCs or some shit!!!

I. would put my overall conclusion here but that means having to accept ScarVio has ended. I'm NOT doing that (inhaling copium). This is probably gonna remain the only mainline Pokemon I'll ever get attached to so...yeah...I'm gonna miss them a lot...

(Anyway I have to yell here because I have no one to talk about this event. Its lonely when you're just exploding by yourself hahhaah.)

[ribesrubrum]

So this is the popular little social hangout that everyone's frequenting now, is it?

Pleased to meet all of you! I'm Carmine, the strongest trainer in all of Kitakami and a student at the Blueberry Academy, where bettering ourselves through battle is what we do best! I am, of course, one of their best battlers. My partners and I have trained together for a long time, and I can assure you that we'll take on any challenger that wants to try and test that and make them eat dirt!

What else can I say...well, I'm certainly the strongest and prettiest there is, and I know all about the Kitakami region, if any of you outsiders want to ask some questions about that. Ask too many and I'll have to insist on a battle, though! Just to make sure you're not going to do something, oh, I don't know, completely stupid over there! Gotta be cautious. ♥ And I have a little brother, too, but. Things are strained between us, so let's not focus on that!

I think that should cover it. If you have anymore questions, well, my askbox is open! Go ahead, but don't waste my time with something stupid.

ah fuck here we go again lads

anyway. hi, this is sable, i decided to give into the RP brainworms and give Carmine a try! i'm hoping not to bite off more than i can chew here with her but she's a delight and i love her and i hope i can do her justice!!!

some small ground rules

Player is an Adult, going with the interpretation that Carmine is 16, so please don't send anything NSFW here.

Mostly canon; I do run eartheats as well and there may be some mentions of/interactions with that blog occasionally because the two of them are friends in Ren's canon! Ren is not the player character, though, so Juliana is the canon protag in this case.

Team is post-The Way Home leveled! Aka this. (she also has a baby shiny Sprigatito from a gift anon! and an emotional support Lilligant (sans flower) named Cardigan)

Carmine, even with the character development she has, is a rather abrasive and arrogant person just by nature, and her mood swings can get wild. Just know that if the character's being a shit, it's solely IC and not OOC. ♥

Down to interact with just about anything, but ask first if you aren't certain; don't think this blog's gonna be involved with high stakes, but that could change in the future! Especially with Indigo Disk coming soon.

Speaking OF that, uh. Indigo Disk liveblog will likely happen over here, so expect this blog to become a potential spoiler zone in the coming month!

can't really think of anything else, just gonna plop this down and run

[pdutogepi]

Time to go on a student exchange programme to Blueberry Academy! From tomorrow, I will be starting my liveblog of ‘The Indigo Disk’ DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!

If you wish to avoid any spoilers, please feel free to block the tags #togepi plays pokemon scarlet and/or #sv spoilers, I’ll also be using the tag #the indigo disk.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the story plays out for both Kieran and Area Zero.

[teefa85]

After creating a Time Paradox with my Terapagos (which amuses me to no end with this story beat) I went and tutored Team Star since Turo dropped me back at the academy. Which I thought was a very sweet scene, between the five's not wanting to cause Penny more problems, Penny wanting to do anything to help her friends and wishing they'd not think of themselves as burdens, and just how well this group cares about one another!

Also, wow! They all clean up nicely! Well, Ortega and Giacamo are close enough to their Team Star looks, but with Mela's new hairstyle and both Atticus and Eri taking off the facewear, they look so different!

[goldensunset]

ok tagging system has now been reworked the sv dlc posts are now ‘teal mask/indigo disk’ and the dlc liveblog posts will specifically be ‘the sv dlc experience’. (the change here is removing the general sv tags to distinguish it from the base game as well as making one tag for both halves of the dlc). spoiler-flavored posts from both will continue to be ‘sv dlc spoilers’

[verdantmeadows]

A subway you say.
