hihihi this came to me in a vision

do you think that after litwick evolves into a chandelure when ingo’s an adult her sass becomes a protective sass

like ingo stays up late doing paperwork and she’s like “you better go to sleep or i’ll nibble on your soul until it makes you” type of way

ps i love how you draw them and characterize them i spin them in my brain like theyre in the microwave

Yes!! Chandelure’s a ghost pokemon, which means they get… funny over time. (Personal headcannon— ghost pokemon are not meant to stay in the living world for long. They usually disperse and fade over a few years— but ghost pokemon with a focus, either that be a trainer or place, can last for decades.)

Chandelure’s heavily bonded to ingo (and by extension, emmet). This means she has full access to a variety of truly sick roasts. (Unfortunately for her, ingo at this point has fully matured into a sarcastic shithead. The two stand on equal ground haha.)

And can’t forget Emmet and Eelektross! The two spoil each other.

This takes place probably during their first few years as Subway Masters, where there’s a huge overhaul of the tunnel system (I like to imagine the subway tunnels of Nimbasa get… twisty, space wise. Their first few months are spent literally just clearing out the ghost pokemon and rerouting trains to avoid traffic.)

Good thing the twins have their trusty starters to keep things moving. Here for my submas masterpost!

I am being brave and wandering into your ask box so you can ramble about the ghost au. It looks neat and I'm so curious owo

YAY YEAH YIPPEE!!!

Okay I'm just gonna try and synthesize all of the random notes I've written in the last few days into something of a vaguely coherent list lol

Grian and Joel are roommates looking for a new flat when they get the call that Grian has inherited a house, they very impulsively and foolishly decide to keep the thing that is way too large and far too run down for the two of them to handle, the house is so incredibly haunted, normal bbc ghosts plot ensues

Grian is the one who almost dies and ends up being able to see ghosts. Mumbo is the one who pushes him out the window. Which is ironic bc Mumbo was very much not pro killing the new inhabitants of the house when the other ghosts were scheming ways to get rid of them.

Okay so ghost facts.

Bdubs is obviously highly based on Robin the caveman, I imagine him being slightly closer to the end of the paleolithic period than Robin. I think he may or may not have had some weird cult stuff going in. Weird cult leader caveman guy worshiping the sun and moon. Yes the cloak is real moss. There's bugs in that thing

Wels and Hels killed eachother in a duel, right on the property line, which now neither of them can cross in death. So now both of them is just stuck on either side of the fence seething about it for the rest of time. I like how ridiculous and arbitrary the ghost property line rules are in ghosts, so I find this incredibly funny. Hels is the guy Black Knight stories are based on

Ren wasn't actually a king, he was some type of noble who tried to declare himself king of a specific area, hence the beheading. Whooooooo let's go treason!!

Cleo was not doing actual witch craft at the time she was accused of it, she was however probably doing other illegal and vaguely fucked stuff. Mayhaps that's why she was accused, someone wanted her out of the way and that was an easy and surefire way to get rid of her

Keralis. My silly silly little guy. Our Kitty stand in. I just thought the idea of him dying from pufferfish poisoning was really funny considering him and XB's whole thing. I wanna have XB around, I can't decide if I want him to be a marine biologist of some kind who drowned on the next property over that keralis talks to over the fence, or if he's just like a grounds keeper who takes care of the lake next door that keralis is parasocially obsessed with lol

Beef. Beef my beloved. Period piece romance novel protagonist looking mf <3 He grew up in a family of butchers, became an impressionist painter instead of joining the family business. Focused a lot on pastoral scenes, especially stuff involving farm animals and especially cows. His family thought his career choice was kind of useless and frivolous, his artist colleagues thought his choice of painting subject was kind of frivolous. That's where he got the nickname 'Beef', now it's all anyone remembers him by, AND the fucking paints killed him 😔

Scar!!! The scammiest fucking traveling salesman on the planet. Death of a Salesman death of the American dream type vibes on that guy. He's gotta pay his medical bills somehow man, can't even really blame him for all the grifting. He probably should've been more careful with who he was scamming though, he maybe pissed off the wrong guy (do not scam mobsters! They will have someone kill you about it!)

Xisuma, given the greatest honor of being my Captian stand in. He was a sharp shooter, until his eye got fucked up and he lost his good aim. They shipped him off to the country side to work in 'intelligence', he takes his job very seriously despite this obviously just being somewhere they put him to not have to deal with him. Seriously enough in fact to discover a spy in their ranks! Just in time for that spy to kill him real bad. Damn.

Joe my absolutely beloved. Pat stand in but not quite. He was a popular radio host, he did a lot of volunteer work as a voice/performer for hire. He gets recruited to do some announcer work for a scouting event. There is, mayhaps, a much more. Uh. DIY. Scouting event happening on the next property over. There is an accident involving some homemade fireworks next door (cubfan. when I get you cubfan.), the fireworks going off scares some kid in the middle of fucking around with a bow, Joe gets shot, you can assume the rest. Cub is ghosting around next door cause of the fireworks accident if it makes you feel any better lol

Mumbo my stupid nervous guy. Ran a large tech startup in the late 90s, should not have been given that kind of power over a company. Accidentally did like. A lot of finance crime. Found out about said finance crime and immediately had a fucking heartattack and died from the panic. My cringe fail businessman I love you

Yeah yeah okay so neighbor ghosts. Cub, Hels, maybe XB, and Gem.

Etho is their weird annoying neighbor, he can also see ghosts, but it'll take awhile for everyone to figure that out.

In the same way Grian can see ghosts bc Mumbo tried to kill him, Etho can see ghosts bc Hels tried to kill him (haven't decided how exactly that went down yet)

I've been thinking about what to do with the basement ghosts and I think I want to put team zits down there.

Uh. Other human cast. Jimmy is around! He kind of fills an Obi type role, silly friend who is just kind of around a lot. I think I wanna have Lizzie as like a local barista Joel has a crush on. The ghosts get in his way every time he tries to make a move on her.

Obviously a lot of the ghosts aren't strict one to one fill ins for the original show's ghosts. Ren and Beef are both kind of drawing elements from both Thomas and Humphrey, Wels and X are both kind of drawing from Fanny and Cap, Scar and Mumbo both kind of combine to make up Julian's character. So on and so forth. All of the stuff with Etho and his property's ghosts is obviously all stuff I just did cause I thought it was fun lol

Oh yeah! Ghost powers! Okay obvious stuff, Bdubs has Robin's ability to fuck with lights, Cleo has the same burning smell as Mary, Mumbo can push stuff like Julian. Non obvious stuff. I want Joe to be able to be heard through like radios and phones and such. Hels has to have something to have almost killed Etho but I've yet to decide what that is. If Hels has something I think it would be funny to then have Wels also have the same power, but like. Weaker. So he can be pissy about it. Obviously.

Uh yeah that's all i can think of off the top of my head

Anyways, yeah!!! That's the basic constructions of this au. I had this idea like 3 days ago and have. Obviously thought about it a lot in that time lmao

You can't put two pieces of media in front of me and not expect me to go insane about it <3

[flightyalrighty]

I've been a (joking) "Ivan has never done anything wrong ever free him" fan but this week's page made me feel sick, but like in a good way. Like when Ivan killed Drago at least you can see the shock and fear in his eyes when he's realized what he's done. And yes it's gory and shocking but it's also almost absurd?

But this page just showcases the type of person Ivan is. He's so incredibly selfish and self-centered that he's willing to kill Sonic, a child, to get his way. And the way he does it is so brutal, smashing his head against the tree. Throwing the safe at least felt...idk, impersonal if that makes sense? I really like the size difference between them too. I know it's because of their difference in species but it also makes Sonic look that much younger and more vulnerable than him.

(Also I love that Ivan grabbed Sonic by his face instead of the back of the head since Sonic can rip through metal if he tenses his quills. It also makes the head smashing feel impersonal in a different way since Ivan can't see Sonic's face)

I also like how Ivan's selfishness is shown but almost kind of hidden since he was mostly interacting with unlikable people. Like yes the ringmaster was rude but he makes the point that Ivan has been late repeatedly. I noticed Ivan got annoyed when he referred to him as Ivan instead of Magnus backstage not in from of the crowd which... yeah? Who refers to someone by their character or stage name when they're not performing? That would've been the last straw for me too. Ivan demands respect he's not willing to give to others.

Sorry for all the droning but I just love this comic so much!

(Context: This was sent on June 6th)

YOU were picking up what I was putting down! I had no idea how to answer this in a way that would feel like a proper response, however! Which is why it took so long! Sorry about that!

Anyway, gold star for you.

I imagine Ivan won't die. HOWEVER

I imagine that if he lives, if he manages to avoid the soon to be unleashed hell, he will not have a happy ending. Sort of. I believe he will end up in prison anyway, either able to live and just wait out whatever sentencing he gets, or because of his strongman role and wanting to put on shows, end up happy while in prison entertaining the other prisoners.

Or you could pull a 180 and kill him out of nowhere to traumatize the fans (don't actually do this).

Ivan won't die, he'll live and change his name and put on a fake accent and become the racist elephant from Zootopia.

[flightyalrighty]

Wait is sonic really a child in this au? I thought he was like mid to late 20s, maybe late teens at the youngest

On that note, do you have set ages for the characters or are they just their canon ages?

They're just their canon ages. If I aged the characters up, I woulda said so I reckon. 😌↕️

So, yeah, somewhere like 15-16 for Sonic and Shadow. 8 for Tails. 18 for Rouge. The same as usual.

[flightyalrighty]

psych*

^ this you?

[flightyalrighty]

Since the recent comic page i've been thinking about how sonic can withstand extreme trauma to the brain, and i have come to the comclusion that Clearly he has a very dense skull like a ram- but he also has a tongue that wraps around his skull as a shock absorber like a woodpecker

You should send a letter or a fax or an email or a text to Sega about this and then let me know whether they confirm or deny this!

[flightyalrighty]

OH i meant treating like him a kid in the weird remorseful way he put him down. I MIGHT HAVE BEEN MISINTERPRETING THAT, like "wow i rlly gotta kill a kid for my dreams huh..." does ivan see sonic as a child? as in he's still pretty young / still a reckless kid?

Ivan sees Sonic as In His Way and that's as far as his thinking is going right now. Otherwise bro's Celebrity Guy to our favorite elephant.

He was remorseful in that moment, yes, but not 'cuz Sonic's a teenager.

[flightyalrighty]

sonic when an attempt is made on his life: you're trying to kill me? LOLL ok let's fite >:]

sonic when ivan gets weird about it and cries, holds sonic like a hamburger and interrupts his Cool spin attack, dribbles him like a basketball and then treats him like a kid: ok nevermind thsi isn't fun anymore you're making it weird. Get bonked idiot

may I ask how you think Ivan was treating Sonic like a kid? Was it before or after the attempted murder? 😭

[flightyalrighty]

What is Sonic trying to accomplish with those spaghetti arms?

[flightyalrighty]

Love that sonic has a smile on his face as hes being grabbed. The hog loves a good adrenaline rush

he's got that bloodlust in him
