GANHE MUITO DOCES Agora ! BUG DAS CANDYS Tutorial COMPLETO Hack Shiny PO...

[spaceumbredoggos]

There has been a criminal absence of recent Yandere Bill Cipher x Reader headcanons, so I made some. Also, the tumblr folks eat this shit up. It’s hilarious. No one cares about my Kenz fic that I pour my heart and soul into, but when it comes to Yandere Bill, you thirst for the man. I am currently only taking headcanon requests (will elaborate later) because art takes forever to make.

All these HC’s also apply to Bill’s Relationship with my self insert OC. Just if they didn’t exist, like tumblr thinks they don’t. Please give So Much for Stardust the love it deserves. I’ll appreciate it.

Bill is very touchy feely to a criminal degree. (That’s as far as I’m gonna go because I don’t wanna have to put a content warning, and I don’t wanna come across as triggering. In my mind, it’s in line with Bill’s character to be that free candy van uncle.)

Does Bill possess Y/N? Does grass grow? Does a bear shit in the woods? That’s one of his favorite things to do. And he’s really good at covering his tracks. You bet your ass Y/N will wake up fucking wounded and sore from frequent possessions.

If Y/N dies, which would be pretty rare given Bill’s obsession, they’re gonna end up as a sinner in hell with their soul owned by Bill. Bill is higher than god himself on the hierarchy of my headcanoned Hellaverse if he did exist (which would be fucking hilarious, but given how much I hate Vivzie for various reasons, I doubt Hirsch would accept a collab since Vivzie has a heinous track record. My recent hyperfixation of the Hellaverse is clearly showing.) Bill would act almost like an overlord this way, and it’ll be sorta like a Val and Angel Dust relationship that’s written better. (I’m skirting around the most taboo parts of this to avoid triggering people including myself.)

Odds are, Y/N wouldn’t die. Bill has plans for them after all. So good luck avoiding his agenda of building a portal. Also, he’ll probably leave Alex Hirsch alone a lot, which may or may not lead to a drought in his Gravity Falls content. Bill’s likely to start a cult at this point to hunt Y/N down, specifically out of all those down bad fankids who’d let him do unspeakable things to them.

Bill will resort to all sorts of psychological torture. Maybe even projecting himself into your video games and other media that you delve into, with various alternate versions of himself (I’m glaring at you, Volo from Pokemon Legends Arceus.)

With every single fandom you hold dear tainted (and he’s gonna do a lot of unspeakable things to fandoms), you will be molded into serving him. If his interpretation from character AI taught me anything (which I no longer support) it’s that he needs total obedience from a slave and would stop at nothing to have that.

Good luck going off the grid to avoid him, because that’s when shit gets 100 times worse. With no contact with those you care about, he’d start driving you crazy. And if you managed the injuries he did to your body when he possessed it successfully, you won’t be able to manage any further injury that happens from your eventual insanity.

Bill has a blood kink times 11. He’ll do anything to make you bleed, but not bleed out. Blood and pain is what he feeds on.

He’s going to be speaking in Y/N’s head all the fucking time. He’ll be mixing his voice directly into Y/N’s own thoughts, taking over their entire fantasies, and quite possibly drive them to the point of dissociating in a psych ward for any sort of relief if they don’t build a portal for him to cross over.

This isn’t a scenario where Y/N is blind to all the red flags, and if it were, there’d still be nothing they could really do. Y/N is powerless, riddled with fear, and trying to flee and fight at any turn. Bill truly has them trapped from the moment he laid his possessive eye on them.

Sanderstober 2022

Upon request (and because you're all amazing at them), I have a NEW Sanderstober art prompt list for you this year! Feel free to do one, some, or all of these prompts for October! Take em in any order you feel & use the hashtag #Sanderstober2022 if you’d like me to see your creations! Hope you all have fun with these if you take em on!! 🎨 

Day 1: Starting out with a traditional classic, take a character from media or OC and draw how they look on September 30th vs. how they look on October 1st. 

Day 2: Time to shine the light on the articles of clothing we all love to bust out in the fall, by CHOOSING one of those items and making a monster based on it!

Day 3: It is announced, beyond all reason, that they’re going to add a NEW suit to the deck of cards, in addition to hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades. Disregarding how much this would destroy the structure of most card games, what is this new suit called and what does it look like??

Day 4: Centaurs are half-man, half-horse. Draw another kind of fantastical creature, that’s half-man, half ANOTHER kind of animal! - Idea from Dominic!

Day 5: Take a typical children’s nursery rhyme… and create a thriller poster based off of it…

Day 6: Design Challenge - create a stylish look (clothes, makeup, whatever you like) based off a candy of your choice!

Day 7: There’s a Pokemon based off almost everything. But not everything. Take a random object, animal, etc. that a Pokemon hasn’t been based off yet… and create one, complete with a corresponding name!

Day 8: Take any piece of Western animation and re-imagine it in anime form. - Inspired by an idea from Dominic!

Day 9: Take any traditional Halloween monster and think about what TikTok challenge they probably would take on. Doesn’t even have to be a real one! 

Day 10: A dabbling in minimalism. Take one or several characters from one of your favorite pieces of media, and try to depict them using only simplistic shapes. See if you can get people to guess the characters or show/movie/video game from the shapes and color schemes. 

Day 11: Always a fave prompt of mine - depict a pleasant fall-related memory of yours using solely fall-related colors (red, orange, yellow, brown, etc.)

Day 12: What if Halloween took place at another time of the year than Fall?? How might the holiday look different? Are there any traditions that might change? Any imagery? Any houses decorated differently??? Depict any aspect of the holiday that may look different!

Day 13: Another fave of mine - Take ANY Disney character and depict what they might look like as a superpowered individual in the Marvel universe.

Day 14: It happened again. This time, they announced a NEW chess piece that would be added to the game of chess. Why are they doing this?? Once again, disregarding how much of a wrench this throws into the gameplay of chess, WHAT does this new piece look like? What is it called? And how does it move on the board? 

Day 15: Re-imagine any Halloween monster or thriller movie baddie… as a character in a fantasy world…

Day 16: Using just inspiration from items found in your kitchen, use them to create a flag for a new country - Idea from Tammy!

Day 17: Draw a dynamic duo in a dynamic couples costume (Jessie & James from Pokémon as the front and back half of a horse, etc) - Idea from Cambria!

Day 18: My first prompt where I can take Inspo from Our Flag Means Death! Take any character from pop culture who isn’t a pirate… and design what they might look like in a pirate universe. Basically… pirate-ify them.

Day 19: Taking inspiration from the Haunted Mansion paintings, where the top of the painting looks pleasant only to then pan down to show the situation is much more grim (give it a Google if you need a reference!), create your own version of one of those paintings! - Another idea from Cambria

Day 20: The return of a classic… take any character(s) from a piece of media and depict them in the style of a Tim Burton character. (Sorry, I just love what you all create with this prompt!)

Day 21: Take any social media app… and turn it into a person.

Day 22: Take any Halloween-esque or Fall-based item/imagery and depict it in the iconic style of a famous painter!

Day 23: Oh my god, they’re doing it again!! Out of the blue, Hasbro announces that Clue will now be adding a NEW guest to the game of Clue who will be joining all the other color-based guests. Why does this keep happening?? Please create this guest and what their colorful name shall be!

Day 24: Take a loved pet from any point in your life, and turn them into a MONSTER.

Day 25: Take one of the characters from our videos (or a character from another piece of your fave media if you prefer!) and draw them with an animal that you think matches them perfectly! - Idea from Cambria!

Day 26: I’m such a sucker for this prompt: Depict characters from one of your fave animated shows in the STYLE of another animated series

Day 27: Since this would probably make Remus happy… if it makes you comfortable, draw a nightmare you remember having in your life, and instead of it happening to you, depict it happening to Remus

Day 28: Since we did the opposite prompt earlier… take a superhero and depict who they’d be in any fairytale you think suits them…

Day 29: Take any Halloween/ Scary movie monster and draw a suit/dress/suitdress inspired by their style and color palette!

Day 30: At long last, it’s revealed, the reason behind ALL THESE ADDITIONS to traditional games (the fifth card suit, the new chess piece, the additional Clue guest) was ONE NEW EVIL MASTERMIND! Based on your past creations for Day 3, Day 14, and Day 23, draw what this mastermind looks like and give them a name!!!

Day 31: In typical end-of-the-month fashion, today’s prompt is all about celebrating the reason for the season, Halloween! This year, Halloween’s PR team wants you to come up with a new catchphrase/slogan for Halloween! Please create a Halloween sign/poster with the new phrase featured!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Time for more lore for my fanfic For My Sunlight, this time THE GLADIATOR PITS! This will start with what it inspired it and then go into why it was created and then make a long reblog about Liochant's history. LONG POST SO EXPANDED (feel free to use the idea for yourself and comment!)

So before there were the gladiator pits, there was something a festival called "The Lioness Tournament". It would happen every solstice as a celebration of Menphia. It featured various celebrations with the major feat being the tournament. Fighters from everywhere in Tu'la would come to compete and try to win an attempt at bonding with Menphia's relic. Very few ever did, which is why there is a second prize of a nether gold weapon. (Despite never winning a tournament, Liochant does have a nether gold khopesh he received from a his mother figure who was a tournament winner)

Now, 16 years ago, the King of Northern Tu'la invaded the desert and completely took over the continent. With the tournament taking place in Solspear, the capital of the desert country, the Tiger King of Tu'la had an idea to get the people on his side. He turned the tournament into an all year event, with the tournament hall turned into a large battle pit as "a way for the people to get closer to Menphia".

He originally sent rebels and soldiers who fought against the invasion to the pit. They fought for the entertainment of the rich and Royals of northern Tu'la, including those of the desert who betrayed their people in favor of the riches of the north.

As the years passed, it became an even larger spectacle with the stakes getting larger and larger and the arena even growing. Two years after the establishment of the pit, Tu'la ran out of rebels and soldiers, so they got creative and started using prisoners instead. Presented with he option of the pit or death, many decided to take their chances. You could win your freedom, as long as your weren't entertaining that is.

Fights featured gladiators fighting against other gladiators, monsters, and sometimes even fights that are rigged. 1v2, 1v4, and even some that are 1v20. Be wary if you are found to be a werewolf or a shadow knight in this area, for you may just be thrown into the pit for "crimes" against Tu'la.

The games operated akin to the hunger games, with many of the upper class sponsoring the gladiators and trading them akin to how one would trade pokemon. These gladiators would become rather famous, shown off like show dogs by their current owners, but the life wasn't easy for the gladiators. It truly was only dressed up torture.

While some of the battles ended in death, a good majority ended in defeat or revival. Those who lost would be severely punished, and even the gladiators who won wouldn't be free from punishment and torture. For if the fight wasn't entertaining or getting the money worths, it could be worse than losing.

If a gladiator stops being entertaining, they will either be put to death or put to other purposes. Being put to death is the better option if people think the nobles are cruel to gladiators they are much crueler to the people they own. The rich want what they can't get, and once they get their hands on them, officially, they savor. Gladiator eye candy is candy, after all.

[starrysharks]

Ooo!! Which OC was your favorite to design? (Feel free to list multiple if you can't chose!!)

honestly the funnest characters to design are the ones where you instantly know what their ***color pallete*** will be cuz it's all fine and dandy knowing the shape and the face until you realise you have no clue what colors you're going to slap on those shapes and face. that being said the funnest funkiest top 5 are as follows -

5. diane lodestar

even her first design 2 ish years ago was fun to draw (brace yourself for ugly old zeno art):

(why was she so skinny here...💔) anyway i knew exactly what she was going to look like because she was heavily based on that one pokemon character (wicke) and just had a fun futuristic pallete i guess? and now her features are more stylised which is fun. there's a reason she barely changed after her first design lol

4. needles (of the church)

here i'll also say that needles doesn't have a last name so she's just called needles of the church! anyway i drew her up in one go and i knew i had a hit on my hands, she's very fun to draw and i love her very much even though she kills indiscriminately

(first design of her, complete with all my ref pics so you can take a peek into the inner machine algorithm workings of zenobot-3000)

(final design noticed how hardly anything has changed. she is too cute and perfect for this world)

3. lars lycan

i don't have many big guy ocs so lars is fun to draw because he's so top heavy. also the like line/swoop thingy shape he has going on that's fun idk how to describe it sorry

(literally cannot crop shear out of this image without cropping out lars' snout which is kind of in character for shear lol. also having 6 top surgery scars (yes the x's are scars) doesnt really make sense but its funny and it fills up the torso and its fun to draw)

2. doctor novocaine

big hair twintails upturned eyes :3 face and cotton candy/toothpaste/trans flag colors NUFF SAID 😤😤😤

1. octaviaaaaaaaaaaa

she's fuckin COOL!!!!! also here's the first sketch of her most recent design. even when i gave her and savory massive overhauls i hardly changed her apart from getting rid of a lab coat and slightly changing the dress and changing the color palette to be edgier and when i say it like that it sounds like a lot but its really not kind of

(ohmygod she looks so weird without lips honestly ,,,, and also her face was kinda long it's like flatter and wider now,,, i gotta redo her refsheet man)

[bunnygirl678]

Because I need to work on my WIPs and not add another I'm putting this out into the stratosphere, please as always (and literally any concept you see me throw around even if i wrote a fic about it i want more stories) feel free to steal it, draw it, write it, or use it to distract yourself from the pain radiating from the massive cut in your foot that has decided to just bleed all night (oddly specific bunny is not okay) anywhosers

-royalty au

-red is like the sole prince of a small nation, Pallet, his mom is the queen, despite the nation being small , they are increadibly strong thanks to pokemon trainer prince who beats everyone

-rocket nation with king gio had been attacking and waging a full out war but Red's pushed them back, now rocket nation is trying to form alliances, so Red's mom has to the do same thing

-a neighboring nation, Oakland (ha) had always fought with Red's nation over resources or something, but rocket is attacking them so they form an alliance

-and to form an alliance King Samuel sends his grandson Green to be married off

-cause daisy's the oldest so she'll be queen, and honestly the king thinks green is shit at everything so getting rid of him is a weight off his shoulders

-and green is pissed cause he's a strong trainer and had been doing a lot to protect his nation but his grandfather doesn't care

-red and green immediately hate each other but like they're married so they have to be around each other

-and green like snuck his pokemon with him and keeps sneaking away to train and eventually red catches him training and is like hey wait you like pokemon battling

-all the while rocket is forming alliances and planning a sinister take over of pallet then Oakland

-red and green bond over training

-and like all of the nobels and military leaders treat green like he's just arm candy but now Red's like hey wait you actually know stuff and are almost as strong as me

-green starts coming to planning sessions and the elite 4 generals dont take him serious or whatever then red is like okay go battle him

-green kicks their asses and earns their respect

-they do planning and training and all the while red and green are falling for each other but neither will admit it, cause they think the other just sees this as duty or whatever

-finally the battle comes rocket vs. everyone else

-it's going well until green gets hurt, like maybe he and red are joking around on the battlefield some cause it's easy and they're kinda having fun and flirting a bit, but then someone sneaks and stabs green or whatever

-one of the elite 4 take green away to medics and red goes feral (think achilles) he beats giovanni for good

-all of the allies meet up to divvy up rocket's territories, and green is like hanging on by a thread or whatever and his grandfather is like who cares he only exists to further Oakland's control

-red is pissed threatening to wage ware against oakland

-daisy ends up finding out green is hurt and immediately comes to pallet to see him (cause she actually loves her brother) and that calms red down

-red's mom ends up somehow getting oak to step down as king and daisy becomes queen

-green gets better and red's like hey i know you don't love me and were just forced into this by your grandfather so here is this country called Viridian it's yours youre the king now

-and before green can be like wait im in love with you too, red fucks off to mt. silver (cause of course right)

-green is devastated, red is devastated

-the story is over... or is it???

-it isn't obviously, cause bunny has to have her happy ending cause real life sucks ass so fantasy has to be great in the end

-prince gold from johto makes friends with green, hears the story, and how technically green and red are 100% still married

-so he and his merry band of mischief makers (silver, lyra, kris) go on a journey to bring red down

-they make up some story about green being in trouble

-red obviously rushes down the mountain to save green, but like green's just hanging out in his castle bored as hell playing spoons with alakazam or something

-he see's red and rushes to him and they embrace and kiss

-and green's like i can't stand it i'm in love with you and red's like oh shit me too

-then they merge viridian and pallet and have a second more fun wedding where it's happy instead of an arranged thing

-and they live happily ever after

Name: Salacia "Sally" Marino

"Fortune flows like water, so lets drink deep of her well tonight!"

About

A carefree woman that prefers to spend her youth going with the flow, a strategy that has led to wrinkle-free skin and a stress-free life. It helps that her finances are well-managed thanks to her status as a casino owner. Though, it's more than that! It's also her family's role as a well-established "community enforcer", leaving many to treat her name like gold in her city. Rightfully so! As she is the sole child of the "boss".

Due to her status and affluent lifestyle, she's grown to be a bit spoiled and a bit detached, much like a princess. Many find her a bit odd due to the latter reason as she will often do things spontaneously when she feels an urge. This has led to unfortunate misunderstandings from out-of-towners that visit her casino as she dresses much like the eye candy hired to populate the floor. Fortunately, it is not a mistake made twice once security handles everything.

She has a soft spot for dumb looking things, collecting things that can only be described as "so silly/ugly that it's cute".

Pokemon Verse

Salacia is the owner of La Societa Lumineón, a casino along the Freesia Beach beachfront in Floris. As her establishment's name implies, she's a trainer that's fond of Water-types, going so far as to even moonlight as an opponent in Freesia's very own gym. Though, it's more of a way to kill boredom than an actual job as she makes more than enough to live comfortably.

Her strategy in both battles and business is to strike fast and hard, taking everything before her opponents and cash cows can even realize what's happened. As such, it's not unusual to soaked to the bone after a battle with her and her rain team.

Team: Pelipper / Ludicolo / Carracosta / Sharpedo / Primarina / Dracovish

Ace: Dracovish

It's likely those people throwing out shinies with no combat power are doing a thing called 'tanking'. Go Battle League tries to maintain a 50:50 win-loss ratio for players, so if you lose a bunch (easy to do if you use Pokemon with no combat power) it starts piting you against people who either also lose a bunch or have little battle experience. People purposefully tank so they can get pitted against these sort of players and then switch to their A-teams and go on to get massive wins streaks. Those win streaks get them the stardust and rare candies they're aiming for. Go Battle Week (which is happening currently) is an especially popular time for tanking since there's more inexperienced battlers than usual.

If you get pitted against someone who's tanking don't feel bad about beating them. They want the loss, so go ahead and take your free win

The current way battles work apparently makes tanking less effective but people still do it!

And yes trust me take ALL the free wins you can get

[symphonic-scream]

Okay I'm making this post again cause I lost my old Pokemon Go account, so I've made a new one

Add me as a friend on Pokemon Go and Pokemon Sleep!

For Pokemon Go, my Vivilon region is Polar, so if you need more Polar postcards, that's a big selling point to add me

My friend code for Go is: 8009 8894 8094

And my friend code for Sleep is: 8715 7702 3684

[firedragon1321]

Welcome back to Kieran hours! This is Part 2 to a ramble on the DLC (part 1- Teal Mask focus- is here). This is readmored because it spoils all of Teal Mask and Indigo Disk. In which the real villain is actually the player, and Kieran shouldn't have apologized to them. This is a long read so get comfy.

Prelude- The Player and You

So first, I want to define "the player", because the distinction is more important here than in Teal Mask. I also call them some not so nice names, so I don't want to hurt people's feelings by accident. So-

You- the person reading this

The player- the canonical in-game character.

Your interpretation or an OC in that role is not the player

This post kinda sums it up best. Pokemon is a very linear, and your choices and feelings don't match the player's. Which if they don't, you are a good person. Because the player is kind of a dick in this DLC.

I Thought This Was Kieran Hours?

Yes it is. Honestly, he's no angel in this situation. I can't ignore his obsession with beating the player at the exclusion of other people's feelings. The way he treats the rando in his first appearance isn't very kind. But he's a monster the player created, and continues to build upon as the DLC continues.

At the end of the DLC, Kieran apologizes for his actions. The player is not given the choice to apologize for the legions of wrongdoings I am about to describe. There's not even a one-sided dialogue option. Carmine- who verbally abused him throughout Teal Mask- also gets away scot free.

Now let's rack up some crimes.

Teal Mask Review

I covered Teal Mask in part 1, but I'll do a speedrun here.

Carmine spends the entire DLC (and before it) verbally abusing and putting down her brother.

Kieran is the only one at the beginning with sympathy for the ogre/Ogerpon, likely because he feels like an outcast himself.

The player comes on a school trip and befriends him.

At the time Teal Mask was released, it seemed the player was his first real friend (BB Elite Four were not revealed to have previously known him until Indigo Disk- this is important for interpreting the story and character)

The player gets wrapped up in the mystery of Ogerpon. They learn the truth about her from Kieran's grandpa, who tells them- and Carmine- not to tell Kieran.

Despite this, Kieran overhears everything.

The player spends the second half of the DLC with Carmine. Kieran feels he's lost them as a friend.

The player whoops Kieran's ass in every single battle up to the climax. He challenges them once more to see who gets Ogerpon (notably, she wants to go with the player).

The player wins and snatches Ogerpon away right in front of him.

At no point does the player have a chance to properly apologize for any of this, including via giving Kieran Ogerpon (I will discuss "giving him a legendary" in more depth with Terapagos, who is a less defined character and more acceptable imo to "give away").

Feeling abandoned and disgraced, Kieran vows to become "stronger and stronger".

This is- at heart- a misunderstanding. But let's get into Indigo Disk and the player's laundry list of badwrongs.

Indigo Disk Part 1- BB Elite Four

Indigo Disk is split roughly into two halves. Part 1 occurs at Blueberry Academy and involves facing its league. It ends after the championship battle. Part 2 is the return to Area Zero, Terapagos, and the worst of the player's crimes.

Kieran pops in and out throughout Part 1. He's not after Ogerpon anymore. The player is his only concern. He's collected a powerful team to near completely replace his old one. The only returning member is Hydrapple. Recall it used to be Dipplin- a candy apple like the ones shared with the player at the festival in Teal Mask. Now- like the player's friendship- it's festered into a multi headed monster.

After beating the BB Elite Four, the player can challenge Kieran. He's become the Champion after dethroning Drayton. The champion doubles as the head of the league's club. This gives him the power to evict members, which he's seen using upon his reintroduction.

The other members worry about Kieran, who is tearing the club apart. Crispin notes he can't handle the complicated drama, while Lacey used the school's rules as a cover to keep the player out of things. Amarys puts the right to confront Kieran on the line in her battle. It's also implied that Drayton took the player under his wing to force Kieran out of power and to face reality. Even Carmine- the root cause of Kieran's insecurities- has concerns about him. Yet, she never apologizes, and will even go right back to her old ways in Part 2.

All of this comes to a head in the championship battle. The battle is public, and students flock to see it. This means when the player inevitably wins, Kieran is publicly humiliated, shamed, and abandoned. Is it karma? Perhaps a little. But given all the Teal Mask BS, it feels like overkill.

(An aside- it is possible to send Ogerpon against him, and he freaks the fuck out. You can see it in action here.)

This final failure drives Kieran to new heights of madness. He needs more power. A certain crystal turtle might be able to provide.

Indigo Disk Part 2- Area Zero

I'm not going to cover the lead up to Terapagos as it's not really important. But if you talk to Kieran on the way down, all you get is ellipses, urges to hurry, and rambles about catching the legendary Pokemon. All of these point towards the climax- meeting Terapagos.

Upon approaching the crystal, Kieran rushes ahead of the player. He condemns the player for their sins against him. If he can just defeat them, he can finally be at peace.

To me, this isn't about being the stronger Trainer anymore. That ship sailed- if it ever existed- when the player became champion. This is about control in a life where Kieran has none. His sister bullies him, the player offers "friendship" while lying to and humiliating him, and even Ogrepon- who he admired- left him in the dust. In his own mind, he may see the BB League as against him, since his obsession is all-consuming and they want to put a stop to it. He's completely alone by this point. Terapagos doesn't just promise power. It promises control and- with it- hope.

So he's totally justified in yoinking it from the player. They took a legendary before. An eye for an eye.

Another way to look at this scene is that Terapagos doesn't give a shit about the player like Ogerpon did. Yes the camera focuses on them as Terapagos walks towards them. But it just woke up. It could be investigating, or wandering in a random direction. This is my personal headcanon, though the canon is probably that it's drawn to the player.

But it doesn't matter. Whether you agree with my headcanon or not, Kieran only sees Ogerpon 2.0, and by Arceus he's not letting that happen. But when he brings Terapagos into its Stellar Form, the Pokemon loses control, destroys the Master Ball binding it to him, and goes berserk.

I have played these games since 2006. In any other situation, I would say it's a karmic punishment for his previous behavior. I'd say that's the intent here, too. Kieran's intentions weren't pure, so he can't keep Terapagos.

Except he's done nothing to Terapagos except command it in a single battle. He was never abusive towards it, nor any of his other Pokemon. His wrath is 150% on the player, who has wronged him time and time again.

This isn't a punishment for a bad Trainer or evil person. This is the universe kicking Kieran while he's already down. It's no wonder he reverts to beating himself up. Eventually, he musters up the ability to help the player. I can't say "strength" for a boy so defeated.

When Kieran did join my player, I stalled and let his Hydrapple and Dragonite finish the job. I had a Lv. 100 perfect Garchomp with x6 Attack from Swords Dance. The energy shields were down. I could have easily destroyed Terapagos in one hit. But I didn't. I gave Kieran a victory in the only way I could.

There is actually a choice not to catch Terapagos. Out of guilt and curiosity, I chose "don't catch". But doing that makes Kieran admit he can't have Terapagos. It has to be the player. The PokeBall menu appears immediately afterwards. This sickened me to the point I can't even look at my prize.

For that's all Terapagos is. Another trophy. Another bauble. Another thing to take away.

That last cutscene where Kieran owns up to his behavior and apologizes? Pre-rendered. No dialogue options. No "I'm sorry, too". The player just smiles and nods like an idiot. I wanted to smack her.

This is as far as I got in Indigo Disk. There's still something Briar wants to give me. I will likely never see what it is.

It's Been Going On All Along

I spent a lot of time thinking about why Kieran's story has hurt me so much. A Pokemon game has never made me feel so angry and sad before. Ultimately, I decided it's the inability to change the story. I wanted to be a good person, but the game would not allow it. I just took what I could, as in the stall during the Terapagos battle.

Kieran's case is not unique. It just comes with consequences. Player characters have been merrily stealing Pokemon, power, and dreams from NPCs since day one.

Blue doesn't get to be a champion for more than fifteen minutes. Wally's dreams are ruined by the same person who enabled them (I discussed this in-depth in Part 1). Rivals like Calem/Serena, Hau and Barry keep laughing every time you beat them. The closest the player has ever gotten to consequences with a rival is with Hop, but even he forgives them. Even Nemona in the main game is the player's cheerleader, who they quickly surpass.

It's not just rivals, either. Champions fall at the player's whim. This is the worst for Leon, whose entire identity was built around being the champion. N may have been manipulated by Ghetsis, but there was some truth to his ideals. The player ignores it, keeping the status quo of living creatures as trophies.

Then, there's what the player can't do. I've written an entire essay on Gladion, and how he deserves love and support. The player cannot give it to him. Nor can they offer support to the likes of Silver. These are enemies to be defeated. Yes, they're fictional. But they have complex stories of their own. These stories often include pain. Why should they be ignored?

The player is the rising star, the golden child. Nothing bad will ever happen to them. It's characters like Kieran who fall into their shadow. Who are pushed to the sidelines. Who are treated like the villain while the real villain has everything they could ever want.

And I get it. This is a kid's game, and we don't want kids to feel hurt while playing it. But Kieran takes the selfishness that's been there all along and exposes it like raw nerves. His pain reflects the pain of all the stepping stones in all the games before him and slams it in your face. He's not going to roll over and let the player walk on him until the bitter end.

And by the time he does? Who's really the villain?

Johto gets dressed up for Pokemoon Night

A popular Johtonian holiday, Pokemoon night celebrates community and connections with pokemon and nature. This evening partygoers will dress up as pokemon, and stay up until dawn to dance, play games, and tell traditional stories from Johto's past. But what is the origin of this full moon holiday?

While the exact story changes from person to person, all interpretations tell of a malicious pokemon nicknamed 'The Nightmare Bringer', which most scholars agree is likely Darkrai. The Nightmare Bringer visited a village every first full moon of autumn, leaving one resident permanently trapped in a nightmare or killed while the rest of the town experienced their own vivid nightmares.

One young child noticed that the wild pokemon weren't affected by this visit, and suggested that the population of the village pretend to be pokemon themselves to avoid The Nightmare Bringer. Sure enough, the next time it entered the town there were no humans around, just pokemon that did not go to sleep until the sun rose.

No nightmares or deaths occurred that night, or any Pokemoon night after that as the population donned their disguises. Eventually, The Nightmare Bringer stopped appearing altogether but the night was still celebrated as a way to foster community and an excuse to dress up.

Today Pokemoon night is observed throughout Johto and Kanto, with smaller celebrations being brought abroad. Most cities hold an official Pokemoon event, often including games, free food, and pokemon costume competitions.

Johtonians encourage foreigners to join in on the festivities, don a pair of eevee ears, grab a rage candy bar, and stay safe from The Nightmare Bringer.
