This took me too long 😭 I wished in the epilogue we got a group photo with everyone…but we didn’t, unless there’s a secret I don’t know about. Anyway enjoy ✨❤️

bringing the wild and radical take into sv dlc discussion that i dont think that kieran like, consistently objectifies ogerpon or the player. part of it is just vibes, and im just going off memory here, but like, if it Is him objectifying you or ogerpon, i dont think that means he doesn't see either as living, thinking people. which is a take i've seen?? a few too many times?
when kieran takes you to the dreaded den, his dialouge is soemthing like 'it must be so lonely here, poor guy. i would've let it stay at our house...."
which. that's empathy! he's doing an empathy right there! he sees it as something that thinks and feels??
it's such an odd thing to have as an arguement actually, because "kieran thinks about how the ogre feels" is like. a massive part of his characterization in the games beginning?? the whole point is that kieran looks at this monster of myth and then Thinks About How It Would Feel to be in that situation.
moreover like... reducing Kieran this way kind of takes away from the alternative, which is that Kieran DOES see you and Ogerpon as people, he DOES want the best for you. Don't forget how many times Kieran says "i know this is wrong, but i need it." how he apologizes for stealing the mask, for trying to catch ogerpon. when he loses that battle he apologizes and cries. he doesn't steal ogerpon, he congratulates you even. his hatred is directed at himself twelve more times than it is to you or anyone else and that's a REALLY important part of his character!
Kieran sees you and Ogerpon as people, not just Symbols of Strength or things to possess! But Kieran is DESPERATE, so when he thinks he's going to lose (or lose the oppertunity to have) either of you as friends, that's when he starts trying to cling onto you. him knowing how you/ogerpon feel, but doing these things anyway is the Point. it hurts because you're both hurting, but he doesn't know what else he can do. and maybe this time, if he's a little stronger, things will be different. then he'll be good enough for you/ogerpon to want to Stay.

Kieran but he doesn’t spiral into his battle crazed persona (we love him regardless)
When he pulled out Incineroar my love for alola hit me like a truck so have him and his Litten (the best starter imo)
(I can only imagine him awkwardly holding it at first, so Litten’s legs are just dangling in the air unbothered)

❤️Happy Valentine’s Day! Pt. 2❤️
ORTEGA AND KIERAN!!!
Love these little shits. I was going to draw them in festival clothes (hence the candied apples) but I blinked and all of a sudden Ortega was drawn and I didn’t want to redraw him.
I really really want to draw how they meet one day. We’ll see if I ever get around to it :)
