I'm obsessed with Hazbin Hotel and Pokemon, so I just had to give everyone teams! I didn't want to give anyone specific types but things to fit both their personality, growth, and just Pokemon I thought they'd have.

Explanations below:

Charlie's main Pokemon is her Umbreon, to represent KeeKee, and Dreepy to represent Razzle and Dazzle. Hisuian Typhlosion is said to purify spirits before leading them to the afterlife but can also unleash those spirits when they're enraged. Quaxly and Mime Jr. are just fun little nods to Charlie's love of dance and Mime Jr. can also learn the move Sing. I imagine them singing and dancing along with her.

Vaggie's main Pokemon is actually her Absol. I was going to make it her Iron Valiant, which I believe all Exorcists would have, but I wanted to do something different for her. I gave her Pokemon that have weapons and a moth to call back to her earlier designs. Her Espeon is a parallel to Charlie's Umbreon. Because they might be the reverse in personality, you still have Heaven (the sun) and Hell (moon).

Alastor was difficult to give Pokemon to since he's such an enigma. His main Pokemon would be a Rotom that inhabits his microphone. Skeledirge has a microphone and is a ghost type. I'd imagine the Skeledirge has is much more malicious than is typical of its species. Dedenne is another Pokemon that I'd link to radio waves while Froslass and Runerigus are "evil" Pokemon. Runerigus even has strange tentacles like Alastor does. Unfortunately, there are no evil deer Pokemon but Autumn Sawsbuck are the most aggressive of the four seasons.

Angel Dust was a fun one to create. Because he's such a complex character. My first thought was to give him waifu Pokemon from different regions but I didn't want to focus on that aspect of him. Or just give him all spider Pokemon. So I focused on the Pokemon he might surround himself with. His main Pokemon is, obviously, his shiny Lechonk to represent Fat Nuggets. His Ariados plays on the fact that he's a spider but is also a poison type Pokemon. Togepi and Sylveon are both fairy types and Pokemon linked to empathy and feelings. Morelull could be the closest nod to shrooms or other drugs since it's, you know, Pokemon. I gave him a Mawile because it's feminine Pokemon with a scary bite.

Oh, Niffty. The funniest idea would be to give her an all bug team. But that would be mean to the bugs. Her Scyther is her main Pokemon because it's a bug but also has sharp knife hands. So I gave her a Joltik as her one bug Pokemon as a connection to bugs and Alastor. Her Minccino is another Pokemon that evokes the part of Niffty that's the hotel's maid. Mimikyu is just a creepy Pokemon that hides behind a cute look. And I just threw in Tyranitar because Niffty would have an insanely strong Pokemon that's a little crazy.

Yeah, unlike the others, I did give Husk mostly cat Pokemon, but they all fit his personality or the idea behind his character. His main Pokemon is his Meowscarada because it's a magician, just like Husk. Meowth represents the more regal yet greedy Overlord he used to be. His Torracat has very similar colors to Husk with the black and red. His Litwick reminds me of the magical lights Husk put up and were lit with Charlie's magic and his Purrloin represents his deviousness regarding his Overlord days. His Rookiedee represents his wings and chivalry when it comes to some of the characters later in the show and his steel exterior.

Sir Pentious was obviously going to have some snakes on his team but I also wanted to give him some steel types and psychic for his high intelligence and love of engineering. His main Pokemon is his Steelix. It's snake-like but in-your-face snake. He has an Arbok but it's not his main Pokemon. He has Exeggucte to represent the Egg Boiz, but also kind of Togedemaru since it's friend-shaped but spikey. Metang and Golurk represent things that have been created/man-made, which is his thing.

Cherri Bomb was fun because most of her Pokemon know the move Explosion. Her main Pokemon is her Camerupt, which shares her personality. Her Golem and her Electrode are for the whole, you know, bomb thing Cherri's got going on. Her Cherubi and her Hattrem are the more feminine Pokemon on her team but her Hattrem likes to terrorize people just like she does. Her Magnemite has the single eye like she does and also explodes.

Lucifer was really fun because I was originally going to try to give him Pokemon to match the forms that he changes into during the fight with Adam but then rethought the plan. Obviously, he needs to have an Applin for the forbidden apple that will eventually become a Hydrapple. And a Ducklett because of his love for ducks. It was between Ducklett and Psyduck but I thought the cuteness of the small Ducklett just makes me think of Lucifer putting a top hat on it. Lucifer's main Pokemon is actually his Hisuian Zoroark, which is the Baneful Pokemon. I was going to have his main be his Seviper but him being tossed out of Heaven and retreating into isolation and shadows once Lilith left him just fit Hisuian Zoroark. Spiritomb has evil spirits inside it which I think matches Lucifer being in charge of the evils of the world. And Lucario is based of Anubis, who is the guide of the dead to the Underworld.

Thoughts?

They are the most popular couple right now on social media, actually it's not very surprising since there is no love story happening in other tv shows so it's like there is literally no ship wars or something but…even if there was, I think they could still be at the first place.

You didn't ask for my two cents but I'll tell you anyway. The show is a complete mess. Nowadays the writers just don't waste any efforts on their scripts. This one is no different, there's so much craziness going on that I can't stop judging.

So the main character Yaman (his real name is Ali Soysalan) was kidnapped when he was a child. Then he somehow ended up on the streets, grew up with three homeless children. (Cesur, Asi and Umut. Their names come from their characteristics I guess since they have no identity. Cesur means "Brave", Asi means "Rebellious/Rebel". Umut means "Hope". Yaman means "the person who doesn't give up, is strong") They become a kind of family. One day he finds out his real family and the story begins.

This might be too cliche, I don't care about that, but the problem is if you want to watch a heartfelt family reunion you may be very disappointed. After he reunites with his family, there is no bonding, no family time, no thought about how to spend their days from now on…The family find their kid and act like "so yeah, this is your family, stay in our home, these are your other siblings, let's move on." Come on! As a mother more importantly as a doctor mother, you just have to see the emotional damage and the endless gap between your kids.

And don't get me started on how Mother Soysalan announce the news to her other children: They just find out from the tv like the other citizens in the country.

Nothing makes sense, but let's just forget all nonsense and accept that this story is more like about a lost kid who turns back his home to get his revenge on the bad guys.

Btw, I am usually not that kind of person who comments on the performances of the actors but I don't know why, the lead actor doesn't make me really feel anything. The same actor also acted in Kardeslerim as Kadir a.k.a. the eldest brother, (this already looks like typecasting btw) however he is really not convincing here. There's a lack of chemistry with everyone, but this also might be a directing or a script problem because the other actors can't give any strong feelings in some specific scenes too. In short, I fast forward his scenes most of the time. The fact that his actions are so predictable doesn't help either.

So here comes the problematic part.

They are twins but I prefer calling them Jessie and James from Pokemon.

Since The Council of Radio and Television in Turkiye doesn't care the degrees of violence shown or the importance of right labelling for tv shows, I shouldn't be surprised by how this show is tagged. I, however, will give you a warning. The show is dark, there is drug use, excessive violence, emotional abuse, family abuse, physical abuse…oh my, you can put any warning actually. The worse, they are not handled very well. Law enforcement, is there even such a thing in this show? No. Any law? No. Stupidity ever ends? No. I know they are portraying the underdog people so the violence part might be kind of realistic, but the adults are so frustrating when they can not do anything useful.

And these twins are suffering from childhood emotional neglect. (To be honest the half of Soysalan family must be in prison, the other half should see a therapist.)

Alaz Soysalan, he is one of the problematic characters in the show. The younger sibling of the main character and doesn't like his newly found "big bro" (he uses this word with a mocking emphasis) because he sees him as the main reason for his lonely and motherless childhood. He doesn't know what empathy means, he just doesn't feel the others' pains unless the other party also goes through the same thing he does.

He definitely isn't likeable, but for a tv show where everybody shows acute reactions, his choices blend in the rest. Don't expect anything from him, he is a complete disaster.

I can overlook many of his wrongdoings because that's fiction, but I wish I had never seen the way he behaved towards his twin sister at the early episodes. I think it doesn't make sense since he is overly protective and possesive of his family.

Yeah, let's jump into the shipping part.

She is Asi. Your typical tough tomboy. Thanks to growing up together with a bunch of boys, she knows how to deal with them. She swears, she fights. But she is also loyal and compassionate. She is unfortunately helplessly in love with Yaman. He isn't aware of her feelings and sees her as his family, his sister.

When she first meets Alaz, they don't have any important one-to-one interaction. They just don't like each other and naturally turn into enemies. But this is the slowest burn of the show.

Like I said, he has lack of empathy unless he sees someone is hurt from the same pain as he is.

This is the moment he truly sees her because both of them are suffering from one-sided love. He realizes she's in love with Yaman and she knows he loves Rüya. Unlike the other people in the cell, she knows why he's frustrated and angry. Not communicating at all, they share something here.

I'm going to post more about them. They're the only interesting thing in the show. For the rest...meh. I usually adore family dynamics, but don't have expectations here after having seen the found kid part was badly written.

Hey I literally logged in just to give you support. Don't listen to these idiots telling you that you're gross for loving Mewtwo.

Because if loving Mewtwo is gross then the entire monster-fucking community should also be shamed but they aren't hmmmmmm I wonder why.

The degenerates in this fandom are perfectly fine with Ash fucking Latias, and men fucking Gardevoir, Vaporeon, or whatever slutty monster girl bitch of the week, but nooo you self shipping with Mewtwo is apparently cONcERnING or whatever.

(I love how no one calls the Hatsune Miku guy names lol, do I smell double standards? )

But this doesn't surprise me because the Pokemon community is full of hypocrites and these are the same no - life losers who shit their pants because Ash isn't in the anime anymore, their parents truly failed in raising them.

Lord knows I faced enough trouble for loving Steven and that too, from an Eevee fucker.

Monika, sweetie you are doing nothing wrong, your love for Mewtwo is so innocent, sweet and pure. I think it's beautiful how helped you with depression and escape your narcissistic mother.

People on this site love to preach mental health support but the very minute you do something different yet harmless suddenly it's

"OH NO YOU DARE TO LOVE A "FICTIONAL CHARACTER"

Keep on giving them rectal bleeding and draw more of you and Mewtwo ;) I love to see it.

AHH thank you so much for this message!! 🥹 That is so sweet of you!

Yeah, I dunno why it has always been like this. Even 10 or even 20 years ago, I often got messages chastising me for selfshipping with Mewtwo, calling it "nasty" and "degenerate", when really, i am not doing it to specifically be a degenerate, but because I honestly love Mewtwo. In his story, he too had to fight against a narcissistic "parent" (Giovanni), just like I had to against my own. How can it be seen as a crime to want to believe? Or has it been wrong to say "Mewtwo, please teach me to be brave like you" in my mind during the hard times, especially back when I was a lonely child?

Haha, I doubt anyone could ever shame the monster fucker community out of what they are doing. Or the furry community for that matter. 🤣

There always seems to be some sort of underlying misogyny happening. Women are expected to get an IRL husband/boyfriend to serve as soon as possible, so seeing a woman openly rather selfship with a fictional character is threatening to them, because how dare a woman not be in the kitchen and make sandwiches for a man? How dare a woman prefer to be single when there is a "male crisis of loneliness" happening?

Then again, I don't think I owe society anything. Where was society when I was abused? Where was the help or the community when I needed them most? I was left to my own devices. When a fictional character like Mewtwo brings someone like me more hope than any IRL human, that's how I know we failed as a society. Even sicker is that other more destructive forms of coping mechanisms are more encouraged. Somehow selfshipping is seen as more evil by the "moral police" than dying from a drug overdose on the streets or having alcoholism.

Anyone who ever complains to me about "ruining Mewtwo" or whatever - no, you aren't "concerned", you are just using that word to camouflage that what you really want is control over me and what I put out there. And i can tell you it is futile. I haven't survived so far just for some snotty brats to tell me what i can or cannot do in MY online space. Don't like what I post? Tough titties, use the block button. No one is forcing you to look at my "cringe". My cringy stuff brings me joy and makes me happy, and I feel I deserve some happiness in this shitty world of ours. You do too, so just..go and have some fun yourself. Don't waste your only life on policing others.

So yeah, you are right, dagdasgoddess. I will keep giving people "rectal bleeding". 🤣 No one can stop me from loving Mewtwo, my guardian angel that even visits me in my dreams at night, and loves me even when I absolutely despise myself. He will always be a bastion of love for me, a symbol that life is worth living regardless of hardships.

[orn-nest]

yeah i know spider, deer, and bug pokemon exist but this isn't about that so shut up. we're here PURELY for the✨AESTHETIC✨ and ⚡VIBES⚡ -

there's a whole-ass set of hcs below the cut, sobb:

angel COULD'VE been a gardevoir like his twin sister but he got too deep in mafia violence "pokemon battles", especially after his exposure to drugs a "dawn stone". however his rash nature makes him risky in battles and resulted in him being disowned "traded" away several times. most recently he has been pimped out "retired" to the brothel "day-care" system in lieu of battling, but to date he has not sired any eggs

likewise, alastor has also found himself loaned out to horny jail the day-care system. unlike angel, he is not here for breeding purposes but rather social rehabilitation after spending years terrorizing several localities due to his status as an overpowered, feral, invasive mega-evolved cryptid with a penchant for "provoking" conflicts with trainers who find themselves drawn to his unusual coloration. holds an apparent vendetta against humans, and thus enjoys inspiring fear and awe in them.

10000000% a domestic pokemon, niffty belongs to the day-care center, where she has lived her entire relatively short life. bc she has never touched grass, she gets EXTREMELY excited about interacting with other pokemon and learning EVERYTHING there is to know about them/their travels/their histories/their trainers/their preference in incense. this can make her a bit overwhelming at times however, and has made it difficult for her to establish pokemon friendships in the past (for example, the first time she saw angel, she insisted that he was an unusual looking gardevoir - this was bc he was the first ever gallade she'd ever encountered. this has been cleared up between them now). furthermore, up until recently niffty coped by engaging in behaviors that humans would find charming. but then alastor came along and, unable to stomach the sight of a younger version of himself ingratiating herself to humans, immediately chose to take niffty under his skirts and tutelage - this both surprised and terrorised EVERYONE, who thought the big dark scary gardevoir would surely eat their precious little kirlia. now they are inseparable, bonded and sychronised. much to everyone's chagrin however, niffty appears to have picked up a streak of Mischief™ from alastor but he has yet to become tame through their association.

God, asking abt Yuhang made me remember the whole THING abt the mobster Haoran found KO'd on the street (bc last we saw Yuhang was when Haoran was??? Drugged???). Was there already a follow up piece to that or did I just have an elaborate fever dream abt Haoran getting this really poorly disguised stalker following him around? But honestly the way Haoran is (incidentally or otherwise) collecting the other male leads like pokemon is so funny to me.

AHAHA yeah that! I did, as it happens, write a followup. But it never made it to tumblr, and while I did play around with creepy stalker vibes, I was going to scrap it, since it didn’t quite vibe with what I was trying to plot out. I don’t believe you’re making this up from whole cloth though – I think you might be remembering bits from Chen Lihua’s stalker over here.

Well, we’re only at two love interests for Yang Haoran! Three, if you count Jiang Mingxi! Just enough for a Pokemon battle, but no more. I have not been planning on giving him more, but I will admit that I throw things in depending on whether or not I find it funny, soooo we'll see.

Anyway! Anyway!!! Your ask got me thinking about the followup again, so I started working on it. Here's a piece of it, under the cut.

Yang Haoran really thought he had successfully gotten away with it.  He’d been a bit nervous, but after a week with nothing out of the ordinary – well, more out of the ordinary than usual – he thought it would be fine to let his guard down.

He was so very, very wrong.

One day, as Yang Haoran was coming into work, he found a vaguely familiar man already at his desk, absently tracing fingers over the characters on Yang Haoran’s nameplate.

“...Hello, can I help you?” said Yang Haoran, whose memory for faces was not exactly the best.

It worried him that the man was vaguely familiar. Vaguely familiar meant that Yang Haoran had met him before, and he was a little too finely dressed to be a typical office drone – so, likely a higher-up that Yang Haoran had seen at a meeting or something similar.

Yang Haoran did not think there were very good reasons for a higher-up to unexpectedly be at his desk. Sure, Yang Haoran was a nepotism hire, so he couldn’t be fired, but nepotism only took you so far when the people who got you the position didn’t really like you very much in the first place.

“Was there a meeting this morning?” Yang Haoran said cautiously. “I don’t seem to remember getting an invite?”

“You saved my life,” said the man, and abruptly Yang Haoran figured out why the man looked familiar.  He looked a lot different under the office lights and not covered in his own blood.  

The first thought Yang Haoran had was, oh, good, I’m not in trouble.

The second thought Yang Haoran had was, I should have let him die. 

“What,” Yang Haoran said slowly, instead of fuck dammit, like he wanted to.

The man smiled. It was a nice smile, as far as smiles went, and Yang Haoran would appreciate it a lot more if it wasn’t caused by his own mistakes coming back to haunt him. “I’m sorry, I should introduce myself. I’m Wu Youxuan. You’re Yang Haoran.”

It wasn’t a question. Yang Haoran wished it was a question.

“Yes, I see you’ve read my nameplate,” Yang Haoran said. He should have left it home. It wasn’t as if It was a real nameplate, he wasn’t high-ranking enough for the company to actually give him one. No, this was a joke that Zhao Yuhang had presented to him, saying something along the lines of “You don’t think you’ll be important enough for people to know your name? But you’re so important in my heart, A-Hao! Everyone should know who you are!”

...Anyway.

Yang Haoran smiled – pleasant, professional, and puzzled. “I’m… not sure what you’re talking about. I think you might have the wrong person?”

Let no one say that Yang Haoran was a bad liar.

“Is that so? It’s just – your face looks very familiar. I was in, ah, a predicament a little while ago, and I could have sworn…”

“Are you sure it wasn’t someone who looked five to six points similar? Maybe I just have one of those faces.”

Yang Haoran knew for a fact that he did not have one of those faces. He was supposed to be a character worthy of the attentions of the female lead, capable of making the main character feel unworthy by merely existing. The young master of the Yang family, well-dressed, head high, hair swept out of his face, had an objectively striking appearance and presence, quite possibly aided by some plot-driven aura attached to his person.

The key was that Yang Haoran, messy-haired and with the style and demeanor of an average salaryman, didn’t.

Something Worth Striving For

Nemona x Fem! Touched Starved! Reader

You didn’t get much love growing up. Nemona, against all odds, seemed to be in a similar boat with the weight of expectation always looming on her shoulders. Perhaps you were a fool to keep your issues from her for so long.

She was as radiant as the sun, running over your darkening horizon. The way she leaps and bounds over to you, having been “looking all over for you”, reminds you that there is someone in your life who does care, that someone is always looking out for you and lights up upon locking eyes.

You weren’t really a miserable or gloomy person, but standing next to Nemona would make anyone have second thoughts. Her eternal energy is only rivaled by her inability to pick up on basic social cues. It’s easy to feel like your world was darker and crueler when her presence was lacking, that’s all.

You love being her friend, and all, but she makes you feel… conflicted. Nemona is just… affectionate, by nature, very touchy-feely. Whenever she sees you, there’s some kind of contact, from a hand on your shoulder to a hand brushing away a loose strand of hair, from a high-five to a fist bump. If you were lucky, she would take your hand in hers to drag you around. 

But the best is when she would lather you in the crown-jewel of affection: a hug. Her grip would be firm and her body warm. She would bury her head in the crux of your shoulder or lay it on top of your head.

It’s not that you disliked the attention, obviously, it just made you feel… weird. It felt so foreign yet so right. Like finding a missing puzzle piece that you didn’t even realize was lost. Sure, your homelife wasn’t the warmest, you knew that much, but… until you met Nemona, you had no idea how much you were missing out on.

But as heavenly as her presence was, all it did was leave you wanting more. You were no moth to a flame, you were an addict drunk on the world’s most potent drug, and you were eager to keep coming back.

The only downfall is, well, actually getting what you want. How do you tell someone that you want them to physically touch you? What if you totally weirded her out, or what if she thought you were just using her? Was it really worth jeopardizing the relationship with your affection supplier just to get a little more out of her?

The question weighed heavily on your mind, pondering it as you bored holes into the ceiling in the middle of the night. It invaded your head when no other thoughts occupied it, unless the thought itself was already about the peppy girl. 

Of course, when you actually see her and are with her, you think about her. You like to think you're hiding it well, but it gets harder to ignore the feelings lurking in your chest. Unfortunately, it seems fate has a strong disdain for you.

You were currently sitting in an open grassy field. Nemona was speaking passionately, pacing back and forth, about some “super, duper, cool pokemon that was definitely around here earlier!” She was adorable like this. Her eyes brimmed with excitement to perfectly match her smile. Like she didn’t have a care in the world.

This is Nemona. Nemona isn’t a normal person. She knows, to an extent, that she is not a normal person. So even if it isn’t normal for friends to be affectionate with each other, she probably won’t care. 

But maybe she would. And if she did, then she would think you were totally weird and not want to hang out with you, and then you would be forced to live a life, once again, devoid of the affection you never knew you craved.

“At least, that’s what I think it looked like. But it ran away so quickly! I barely even got to look at it…” Nemona flops down next to you, dragging you away from your thoughts and back into the present. She scoots closer to you, sitting shoulder to shoulder. 

She really is picture-perfect, isn’t she? …She cares about you, yeah, but would she be able to fully understand where you were coming from? She’s so affectionate, bordering on lovey-dovey (not that you were into each other or anything, totally just really close friends and nothing more haha), so easily friendly and forward with others and bringing their spirits up like it’s nothing at all.

You weren’t sure if you were more jealous of her ability to be touchy with other people or the other people she was touchy with.

“... Hey, are you alright?” She drapes her arm over your shoulder, pulling you into her side. She’s forced your body to be angled towards hers, forced to see the concern written all over her face. 

You don’t know when tears started falling from your eyes. Heavy tears cascade down your face, only to be wiped away by Nemona’s thumb. Her soft hand cupped the side of your face, and you can’t help but nuzzle into it as you attempt to muzzle your sobs and hiccups.

You sit there for several minutes, just crying into the open air. In that time, Nemona shifts until you are cradled in her arms, one hand rubbing circles on your back and the other flipping between running through your hair and keeping your head pressed to her chest. She doesn’t speak up until your sobbing seems to slow.

“Do you want to talk about it? I mean, we don’t have to do it here, but I’m here for you! I hope you know that-”

Like your tears, the words start spilling from your mouth. Your voice was nasally and hoarse, but it was far too late to care, you were already telling her everything. About your homelife and your parents and their lacking presence and the void left in their place. About your desperation for being close and the all-encompassing desire for her attention thwarted by overthinking. Your words are quick yet slurred. You aren’t even sure how much she is even able to understand.

“Hey, it’s okay.” Once again, she doesn’t pipe up until your rambling slows down. “It’s gonna be alright. I mean, look at me!” She pauses. “My parents weren’t quiet, uh, like that, but they expected a lot from me, you know? And sometimes they just… weren’t really there? Like they expected so much from me, but they were too busy to actually watch me get better.” 

You lean further into her body as she fumbles with her words, afraid that she might be coming off as insensitive. If you could fuse to her skin you would. If you could perpetually be stuck to her side, nuzzled against her at all times, you would stop at nothing to make it happen. 

… Maybe your thoughts were weird, actually, but Nemona doesn’t seem to care, so neither should you.

You never thought she had issues even similar to your own. Knowing she does doesn't change what’s happened to you, but it does make you feel a little better. A little more normal. Like she could make everything okay. And as long as you could shake away the stress of the world within her arms, it would be so.

You know thinking on it some more Pokemon used to have an easy answer for "where did the meat come from" that they seem to have retconed themselves out of. Animals. In the first two gens of Pokemon the dex would mention real world animals every now and again (ex. Arbok killing elephants) which implied that animals were just 100% a think in the world they just weren't plot relevant or on screen. Heck a (Japanese only) in character interview in a magazine had Professor Oak note that Pokemon were "a cooler pet than any cat or dog, and much more intelligent too". Of course he also recommended using a lot of drugs (iron, zinc, etc) to help raise their combat potential and to figure out which Pokemon were strong or weak and make a team of the strongest ones you can. The whole "Power of Friendship" thing wasn't part of the franchise yet.

But back on track. Animals used to be confirmed to exist and filled in so much of the food web that it was a simple solution. Then GameFreak removed all mentions of real world animals and otherwise seem to deny that there is anything other than humans and Pokemon which creates so many lore problems and food web issues. I'm into biology and the system as it stands does not work. Just acknowledge animals are a thing and boom so many problems solved.

YEAH THE BIOLOGY SEEMS SO ODD LIKE WHAT ABOUT TINY CREATURES THAT DO IMPORTANT WORK OF POLLINATION AND SUCH, WHAT ABOUT MICROBES, HOW CAN THERE BE 1000 POKEMON WHEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SPECIES OF BEETLES WITH SPECIALIZED NICHES.......

but also because we only see the world from a child's perspective in-game it's possible that it's more complicated -- I agree with headcanons that Dex entries are only the species standards for most Pokemon, and there are absolutely subspecies and specialized species of every 'mon, AND like. micro-species. especially bugs

Guz already has a grub-sized Snom and mosquito-sized Masquerain in my canon, and tbh the reason professors need so much data on thousands of specimens (Gene's collected 1000+ snom, 100+ of most other creatures in SWSH and PLA) is to see size/shape/color/specialization adaptation and variations throughout a region!

(Fig. 1. micro subspecies of blood-sucking beautifly in hisui)

also there are 100% broader categories for pokemon, like cat pokemon and horse pokemon too, which people usually just call cats/dogs/horses, so Oak saying "cats and dogs" isn't too weird I think!

I think I'm having some sort of weird psychotic thing happening.

I'm gonna type it, as it will ground me and remind me it's just all in my head.

So I've woke ylup and my brain thinks I'm reliving my childhood. It's stuck in this loop of your getting ready for school and we did this stuff at primary school.

It's used some real memories and some fake scenarios. Like it's saying that we did this shadow puppetry thing with clth and paper shapes. From sugar paper. I've nor said sugar paper for the longest time. That we pinned the cloth designs to the boards after. Like we did with other projects.

Then its focused on this dentistry device aswell. It's the phrase rinse and spit on some commercial television thing. A women. There's this this thing. We're getting rid of clogged pores aswell. Then medicated cream. We've got this hand competition game with abicus dice tally things. It's pokemon themed and you can fuse them. If you lose you do this embarrassing dance. I think it's linked to shadow puppetry with making it in your hands.

I think the dentistry thing might be inspired by my mutuals chat about going to the dentist but this shadow thing. Completely out of the blue.

I got thinking I was going to the computer room in school. We called it the Ict suite. But said it like I C T Sweet. With sweet rising high on your mouth with emphasis.

I've done my rabbits this morning and Juno was coveted in dust from wood chip as it breaks down despite dust extraction. Kept thinking that she was Mimi. But mimi is gone. She was a white rex and juno is a black mini rex

Just rex type coat. She got upset I went near her face and she bit my fumb nail. But I thought yeah Mimi does that. Wasn't shocked.

Also thought of Hairoo and clover and old hutches. Smells of wood and woodchop. But their old dead, rhd and old age.

None of its happened ing, I'm here. It's 2024. I. Supposed to be going to work. But I've told mystepmum whats happened andvshes said that I'm tired and need time off work this week and next

If rest not help, then I need the doctors.

Grandad is going kitty morning and lunch. I've scratched my hands from stress. Eyes unfocused. Not proof reading this. But who cares. I'll doe zoes dinner feed and playtime though.

I need this yo remind myself, ilthis us real, thrsa in my head.

I've never been like this. I'm grounded. This had only happened in far off places. Happens to others but never you you know. It's not a trip, i take not recreational drugs. I've not got schrixophrenua.

I'll be OK, I'll sletp now.

Love you guys.

I'll trigger this too, so not bad to readd

If you have OCs... could you perhaps make a masterpost-link thing with them that I could save up to check them out/save to go back to if I forget anything on them? (Bonus points if u have potp/dragon ocs smiles)

ALSO your art slaps hell yeah 💪

Looks at you with big wet eyes. My tag #my oc should have all of em.

POTP is a universe in which I feel like it’s both difficult and impractical to make an oc for unless they exist before or after the story.

I fucking love dragons I haven’t drawn any dragons in so long. Besides Pokémon dragons.

And now I’ll see if I can remember all the tags of all my ocs. Or at least the main ones.

All of the links will just lead to their tag.

Harte Sekioka - Pokemon breeder and ex-magma admin from an amino roleplay that took place in 2017. Currently he’s used in a roleplay with friends because I didn’t want to make a new character for it. Just went ahead and decided he’s 20 years older now. Self-proclaimed sexmaster. Annoying. Single father of two. Should not be a father.

Claudia - A Ditto masquerading as a human from Harte’s universe. She’s helped him out with speeding up the process of selective Pokémon breeding. She’s also extremely important to Harte’s universe’s Team Magma.

Sif Saph - My BG3 character, I haven’t been able to play BG3 in forever. Not much info on him besides he’s the cousin of my first ever D&D character, Sif Krymsul. And he has blue dragon ancestry on his father’s side. Really really really hoping to draw him more I miss him so much.

Divo Success - Pokémon oc. He’s the platonic idea of a cowboy the same way The Stanley Parable’s Narrator is the platonic ideal of divorce. He hasn’t even seen a cow in his life. But he does have a gigantic horse that everyone is afraid of for her Stamina Iron Defense Body Press swagger. He has weird fucking abilities that allow him to be a western movie character. Every time he rides away on his horse it’s into the sunset. No matter what time of day it is. He can always appear in a cloud of dust or smoke. He operates entirely on rule of cool.

Daylight Under Outsmouth - A Call Of Cthulhu campaign that unfortunately never came to fruition. It’s about a universe being consumed by an oppressive darkness with the center of its terror being Earth. Things keep getting darker. Stars disappear from the sky. Aliens and extradimensional creatures find their way to earth as refugees. I reaaally want to make a comic or something with the story.

Aoife and Padraig - Characters made for my friend’s series called Analog Files. They’re the same person from different worlds. They’re married. They’re fucking weird. Aoife is dying of Cool Guy Cancer that’s turning her into a bug and then into a pile of flesh. She wants to be studied while she dies. Padraig loves studying her. They’re great.

Legally Distinct - A glam metal band made up of monsters from Universal Monster movies. I had made them for Art Fight, they’re quite silly, they have so much sex and do so much drugs. And rock n roll of course.

Nigellians - A type of creature made of music, glamor, passion, and magic. They’re born of human creation. Think of Eddie the Head if he was less powerful and less aggressive and more of a little fairy spirit.

Herb - An utau made by my friend NyxQuentiam who is voiced by me. I need to record a new voice bank so badly. He’s an artificial angel who harvests energy from other angels by killing and blending them. He then goes to the angel black market to turn mortals into angels: a high he should not be doing. But whatever, he’s having a good time.

Ward - Cringefail rich boy accidental racist fire genasi who sucks. Used him in a D&D campaign until it fizzled out due to the DM being weird. I don’t think I have much stuff with him here (I think it’s just one post) but he’s my beloved little shitstain. His sword is incredibly blunt. It does bludgeoning damage. He’s whining the entire time he’s adventuring.

Those are the main guys. Hope that helps! :)

Always feel free to ask more questions! Yippee yahoo yippeeeee

[godtier]

so this is a very good question that was posed on my RE6 jake characterization meta post i put up a few days ago:

i DO have an explanation for this and where i'm getting that inference from, but i didn't think i could fit it into reply boxes on that post and not be obnoxious with the multiple replies SO imma write up a super quick (hopefully) bonus meta thingy to go over this question!

SO jake + drugs. this is smth that i feel like gets overlooked for a few reasons (mostly bc jake is not a very popular character in the fandom + playerbase overall) but also bc RE as a series is very... well. like a lot of japanese media that's meant to be more broadly consumed, they like to imply the usage of drugs vs overtly say "this is what's happening"

in jake's intro scene, he says to a newly infected j'avo: "this stuff doing anything for you yet? supposed to be some kinda energy booster but... i don't feel any different"

as someone who, let's just say, has seen drug use lmao the entire scene is "coded," you could say. i don't really like using that terminology because it feels like a cop-out in a lot of cases, but in essence, that entire scene and set piece looks like a flop house or drug den. also, an "energy booster" that you inject...? it sounds like doping to me lmao. also, the dispenser itself it looked more like an epinephrine shot, which people do abuse for the "energy boost" that epinephrine gives.

to me, i'm looking at this scene and going "yeah okay, this entire group of mercenaries (minus jake) all huddled in this room together are really there for a vitamin B-12 supplement party." the way the other mercenaries inject the C-Virus is just like... yeah they thought they were getting free drugs lmao

but just because jake wasn't huddled in there with them all antsy for a buzz doesn't mean he didn't likely also assume it was drugs. even jake's body language speaks to me of someone who was prepared to go on a "journey" so to speak lmao. sliding down against a wall, getting relaxed, etc. it just looked like a guy who was getting ready to shoot up. he's not nervous about it. he just does it, barely any hesitation. and right in his goddamn neck too, which made me think "is he trying to get this shit working faster... why didn't he just jam it in his thigh" etc.

and the way jake says the line about it being an "energy booster" felt really forced in, like capcom's writers were like "oh shit oh no this looks like they're in a drug den shooting up or abusing epipens we gotta reinforce the fact that they totally didn't think this was drugs oh god LOOK JUST MAKE HIM AWKWARDLY STATE THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SUPPLEMENT OR SOMETHING"

but even if we just throw ALL of that away, just look at it at face-value... who takes free "supplements" in a war-torn area where there's most certainly a lot of illicit shit going down? someone who's like "hell yeah i'll get high for free," imo

jake's behavior is risk-taking for many reasons, obviously. he's a mercenary, so that right out the gate is a "risk-taking" position lmao. but to me, someone who just... readily accepts taking a "supplement" or "energy booster" from some unknown person without being coerced into it? yeah this man's done drugs before. otherwise, he would have turned it down, right? or maybe they woulda had to hold him down to make him take it? well, they had to show that jake was immune to the C-Virus for plot reasons, and this was really the easiest way to write it in without introducing a lab environment. it makes sense for what type of character he's meant to be: outside of the law and working in a high-risk/high-reward environment.

i'll admit i was kinda taken aback the first time i played the game because i was like OH WE DOIN THIS I GUESS??? and then they slipped in the "energy booster" line, and it just reminded me of the type of shit you'd see in a dub of an anime in the 90s. like pokemon calling the rice balls "donuts." just sterilized despite it being a very obvious implication in the scene overall.

i will admit that my use of the word "addict" probs was a bit too intense for what i think jake's life experiences are, so i'll edit that out of my original post.

das what i got! thank u for ur time
