I would love to hear all your thoughts on Hop. All of them. Use the full word allowance(/lh)

ohhhhh my god you have no idea what you're asking of me.

thoughts under the cut cuz this post got long ehe. thank you for the opportunity my brain was going to explode <3

ok hop is DEFINITELY one of my favorite rivals in the franchise (at least out of what ive played aha) and has some of the best character development to me. i know sometimes the writing in swsh is a bit clunky but idc, the context is more than strong enough ok. heads up some of my own hcs might creep in here but i can't help it i have so many thoughts abt him all day

FIRST OF ALL the idea of our rival being the champion's younger brother is really great. i love love love it. hop starts off as borderline worshipping leon and fully believing himself to be destined to follow in his footsteps as champion. and why wouldn't he!! he grew up watching his awesome big brother on the tv, seeing how powerful and happy he looks, and his mom probably echoed a lot of those praises back at him as he grew up. lots of "oh, you're going to be just like your brother when you're older, aren't you?" especially when he's had his own first pokemon (wooloo<3) for a while by the game's start!!! like dude!!! this guy has big dreams and he's probably never had anyone tell him otherwise, he's barely had any exposure to anything else, of /course/ he's gonna think he's meant for this!

and we know from some of sonia's dialogue in the games that leon "practically raised" hop, and there's really no other father figure to be seen, so. just saying his only real guy role model is his bro like. of course he's gonna idolize the hell out of him

and i think that starting him off as this cocky and honestly kind of full-of-himself personality while still being a good kid at heart is a really cool thing, /especially/ when we get to see how his character develops through the story!!!!! his loss to bede paired with his repeated losses to the player /and/ his first gym loss at circhester is such a major hit to him, and we /see/ that!

seeing take wooloo off of his team is SO IMPACTFUL because it's shows how desperate and conflicted he feels! we see the cracks in his confidence forming and it culminated in this harsh move of removing his #1 pokemon, the one he's had since childhood, just to try and he stronger! he's grappling with having the idea of this dream he's been wanting his entire life shaken /and/ repeated losses /and/ the stress of trying to follow in his brother's footsteps?? the feeling that he's letting leon down, that he's not good enough?? that he's somehow a stain on leon's reputation just by being himself??

BRO!!!!!!! break my heart in half why don't you!!!

that moment honestly cemented him as one of my favs. just seeing him that desperate to win </3 and then the satisfaction of seeing dubwool leading his team afterwards, when he's realized that even if he does want to win, it won't matter if he's not doing it his own way. seeing dubwool again was like getting to see his arc starting to come full circle, not nearly as unshakably confident as before, but /genuine/ for probably one of the first parts of his story!

facing him in your battle is so great </3 seeing him emulate leon's movements like the little cheek slaps and when in the way he's animated directing his pokemon is so sweet. you really see that all he wants is to live up to this unreachable shadow he's lived under his whole life, and it's so heartbreaking to beat him!! seeing him get frustrated and pull himself together!! knowing that he still cheered you on in the champion battle, knowing you took that dream from him, because really, it's not even what he wanted. we see that at the end of the game when he takes on the research position under sonia, when he's finally able to act genuinely and start exploring interests that are his own rather than those he's grown up idolizing.

who knows if being a professor is really his passion?? who knows if he won't switch career tracks 4 more times in his life?? that's the power of it!! he had nothing else to look up to his whole childhood, so he never really let himself think about those things. at the end of the game he's finally doing it just for himself, to explore himself as a person, not just as a carbon copy of his brother! he gets to tell his own story instead of following the path of leon's and it's so good!!! thinking abt how he can flourish as a person, how scary it might be to finally be without a set path in front of him but simultaneously how freeing it might feel!!

i could talk abt him for DAYS

AUGH. he is so underrated </3 i hate how much hate he gets, it's unwarranted. yes some of the writing is weird yes some dialogue could be better written, but hop's character is just so interesting!!

i have so many headcanons abt him and leon and sonia and like. everyone but <3 here are some hop thoughts thank u for indulging me <333

#deerdeardarling #thank youu <33 #i have so many thoughts abt him every day <33 #pokemon sword and shield #pokemon swsh #pkmn swsh #swsh #hop swsh #tama talks

Galar’s Ultimate Showman and Attempted Saviour: A Partial Rewrite of Chairman Rose

Like most people, I’m not exactly crazy about how Chairman Rose was handled, and I thought I’d take a shot at making him a better villain by giving him a more comprehensible motive and more early signs of being an overzealous and single-minded, albeit well-meaning person. In summary, Galar’s economy depends on its sports tourism, and Chairman Rose will do anything to keep the show rolling. Anything.

Thank you very much to @standardizedbogey and @deerdeardarling for helping me to flesh out these ideas!

Here’s how I would write his story in the game:

-imply that Dynamax energy is already on its downturn. In addition to having it be mentioned by a random NPC or two, it could be demonstrated by having one of the gym challenges experience a partial breakdown in energy, resulting in Dynamaxxing only lasting two turns. Afterwards, Chairman Rose apologizes to the crowd and announces that, towards the end of the championship, he will unveil a solution that will ensure that nothing like this will happen again.

-Have some NPCs discuss how Galar isn’t a resource-rich nation, but it doesn’t have to be because it’s so rich in tourism. Of course, that doesn’t serve the towns without Dynamax spots very well. A good candidate for this would be Piers, Marnie, or even a Team Yell grunt after the Spikemuth gym has been completed.

-While Piers never used Dynamaxxing, his gym used to be able to let his opponents Dynamax, and it was more popular back then. Piers’ reason for never Dynamaxxing? Spikemuth has been experiencing buffers in energy since before Piers took over as gym leader, so he believes that the whole region should be preparing to give up the gimmick and find ways to make traditional battles more entertaining instead.

-Chairman Rose acts as Leon’s mentor/manager and isolated him from a young age to mold him into not only a great trainer but a great showman. Have there be a few hints that Leon was isolated earlier on, and have Leon take the player aside before the final match and admit, with uncharacteristic somberness, that being the champion before you’re grown isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, and that he will fight tooth and nail in the finals to protect the player from it. Chairman Rose then pops in and says something overbearing to Leon about him being Galar’s hero, and they step out onto the field.

-Chairman Rose’s reasons for adopting Bede were that, now that Leon is grown up, he can no longer be controlled and is taking the show in a direction Rose dislikes. He wants to start fresh with a new champion of his choosing. This would explain why he outright disowns Bede after the Stow-n-Side event, instead of just revoking his endorsement and punishing him: he wasn’t useful anymore. This is something Opal or someone else close to Bede could mention in the post-game.

-Have some Marco Cosmos NPC mention that most of the mining for power that Rose’s company is responsible for occurs outside of the region, both because Galar doesn’t have many resources to mine and because Rose believes that Galar shouldn’t have to deal with the dangers and environmental degradation that come with mining. He wants to keep the place beautiful for Galarians and tourists alike.

-Rose’s reason for starting the darkest day? He’s known for a while that Dynamax energy is fading. If he doesn’t do this, one day all of Galar could share Spikemuth’s fate. If he does, well, Galar would practically be a utopia! Not only would this give Galar enough Dynamax energy to last a thousand years, it would be enough energy to power everything! They would have cheap, pollution-free, limitless energy for centuries. And summoning Eternatus will allow him to put on, as he calls it in the announcement before the final match, “the ultimate show.”

-His reason doing it on the day of the championship match? He wanted Leon, who he still loves as a performer even though he’s losing control of him, to be the one to get Eternatus into a usable and safe state: the star of his ultimate show. Leon might not be the champion tomorrow. He didn’t think the protagonist could do it, or at least, didn’t think that they’d make as impressive a show as the man who’d been Galar’s hero for a decade, or that as many spectators would stick around if he were to summon Eternatus after the championship.

-Leon actually agreed to catch Eternatus (he’s a dumbass, your honour), but not with an audience: they could end up getting hurt. Rose summoned Eternatus during the championship to try and force Leon’s hand, and when that failed, he had his staff straight-up kidnap Leon and force him to do it. It’s only after Leon tries and fails to catch Eternatus that the protagonist, Hop, and the legendary wolves are able to step in.

-Rose turns himself in willingly as he does in canon, because he realizes that his attempts to bring glory to Galar have given it nothing but grief. He also passes the league onto someone more pleasant. Thankfully, though, Eternatus has averted the Dynamax energy crisis, allowing even Spikemuth to Dynamax. Piers is still going to stick to traditional battles, however, just in case.

"The tale of two new kings" - [Intro. post⚔️🛡️]

[All OOC (out of character) posts and tags will be made in brackets like this one. All basic DNI rules. Anons allowed; if your rude or spam you will be blocked]

[Hello! My name is Deerly and my main blog is @deerdeardarling where I mainly post about my Pokemon Chosen AU, which this blog is apart of! As well as all of my other hcs & aus. This blog is specifically around my version of The First Two Galarian Kings! who were only crowned a year ago.]

[These two are Tarax (right) and Lancelet (left)! They are the original Chosens of Zacian and Zamazenta and are around 16 years old. Tarax is very spry and tries to be uplifting and positive even in times of uncertainty; while Lancelet (or just Lance) is more reserved and quick witted (this. will very likely not show well in my writing. cause i am not smart lmao)] [Note: I'm gonna try to use like. ye olde speak but really no guarantees. Really this is all just for fun and so I can share my ideas. Also blog lore will be in another post after this one initial one]
