DAY TWO…

… I DID IT!

Now bed.

***

He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been able to relax, lay back in the grass, watch clouds passing by. It was a behaviour that was  alien to even the most acceptable HumaGear, and for him it was completely unthinkable—until now. Everything was wet from dew, and he would need to wash these clothes afterwards to get out the grass stains, but he didn’t care—so many of his memories were wrapped up in darkness, blurred to the point he couldn’t tell where his mind ended and the Ark’s began, or even completely unattainable that just being out in the sunlight was… Nice.

He felt her presence more than heard her, a familiar, comforting figure moving closer—she was as much a part of him as his own components, so he didn’t even open his eyes when she sat down beside him on the grass, then lay down, pillowing her head on his chest to watch the sky as well, twirling a flower between her fingers. After a while, she began to hum softly—not any particular tune, but one that resonated with his very core, in synchrony, like everything else they did.

For a while, they just lay there while she hummed their song. “… Aibou.”

He saw the flicker of purple in her hair, felt it as her head turned agains his chest to look up at him. “What is it?”

“Play them again.”

In moments, he felt the link establish and let his eyes drift closed. Memories flashed through his mind that he both knew and did not know—though he knew they were his, secreted and protected deep within the coding of his dearest, closest friend, but he could never summon them to his own mind. Many contained Jin as he had once been—his first steps, first words. At least, the first that she had been there for. Others were just peacefulness, similar to what he was experiencing now. Others were less visual—he felt something when she played them, a sense of purpose, a confidence that he been stripped away from him years ago. A hope. A dream.

In time, however, the remembrances faded, and he was lying in the grass again, with the new and yet comforting weight of her head resting against his chest. He felt her shift against him, and then her fingers, the ones not adorned with claws that mimicked Acid Analyse, were brushing his cheek. “I didn’t mean to make you sad.”

He opened his eyes, hurriedly raising his own hand to his face to find he had begun crying without realising. And yet… It wasn’t exactly unpleasant. “I’m not…” He began, but realised he wasn’t exactly sure what he was. Finally, he settled for “I’m not sad.”

She said nothing, but she didn’t need to. They were so perfectly attuned to each other, neither needed words to understand. She settled back into the same spot, picking up her tune again. Without missing a single beat, they returned to their personal balance.

***

They soft.

Kieran has me in a chokehold. His character arc is so GOOD. You can tell that his bitterness and anger doesn’t just come from everything that’s happened to him recently. It’s pretty obvious that he’s been living in Carmine’s shadow for a LONG time and she’s always kinda treated him badly. But it wasn’t until the player character came along that he was finally able to voice that in his own way;; Just when he thinks he’s made a true friend in someone, someone that can and will stand up to his sister and is able to defeat her in battle (which inspires him to start speaking up for himself more), Carmine steals them away. And that’s a big betrayal to him. He clearly has self esteem issues which leads to him thinking that Carmine was talking shit about him behind his back and getting the player to believe that he wasn’t worth being friends with. And that makes him think both of them were laughing at him and making fun of him. And THEN the player goes and takes the last thing that Kieran has, the last thing he truly cares about: Ogerpon. It’s no wonder he got so frustrated and petty and lashed out 😭 Still breaks my heart to see but they did a really good job showing that progression of him losing more and more of his patience with Carmine. And him generally feeling like everything he cares about is being torn away. And losing to the player over and over just makes things WORSE. He’s not strong enough to beat them, he’s not strong enough to stand up to his sister, he’s not strong enough to be worthy of Ogerpon, he’s not strong. He needs to get stronger. Stronger and stronger and stronger.

GODDDD. He’s going to live rent free in my brain forever now. I can’t wait to see the direction they take with him in The Indigo Disk

#Pokemon #Pokemon SV spoilers #Pokemon Scarlet and Violet #Pokemon DLC spoilers #Kieran #The Teal Mask #Pokemon Kieran #Pokemon SV #Ogerpon #Pokemon Carmine #Also don’t even get me started on his unhealthy attachment to Ogerpon. Probably also due to Carmine and his general upbringing and behavior #AND how he starts to view Ogerpon as more of a tool/object than a living being #When Carmine was like ‘Bro you’re fighting over who gets to keep Ogerpon? Don’t you think you should let OGERPON choose??’ #He wasn’t being considerate to Ogerpon’s feelings at all 😭 #He probably thought that by getting to keep Ogerpon he’d gain back some sense of control. And also power over the player #God my poor poor boy. I hope things resolve for you in TID #Shima speaks

There is so much nuance to the ep 6 scene between KJ and Lauren, I can’t get over it.

the motion older!KJ makes as they walk out, reaching for Lauren, realizing just in time that they are, in fact, in her hometown in Ohio and cutting short before she can land what was probably going to be an instinctive kiss

KJ coming in hot with the world’s most polite “hello!” and managing to make what must feel lightly like small talk for thirty seconds before dropping her voice to this shy, slightly-terrified question

the inability to hold eye contact. the faltering, wordless noises. the way she blinks like she’s seconds from just passing out in the middle of this theater--that is exactly how it feels to come out to someone for the first time. the edges of your vision go a little fuzzy, your heart is in your throat, you genuinely feel shaky, and all of that is so present in this performance

the sense of mild defeat in how she just lands on “movies” instead of “girls”, like she’s embarrassed she can’t just say it

the gentle ah hah expression on Lauren’s face as she realizes what this petrified kid is trying to ask her, and how smoothly she doesn’t correct her--just rolls with this safe code word

KJ’s nod and very tiny “uh-huh” without moving like any part of her face. like she’s reverting to standing as still as possible, protective coloring coming up in every inch of her frame

Lauren actually taking a minute to think about it before answering. and and then not giving the answer KJ asked for--”how did YOU know”--but what KJ actually needs to hear. what any kid in her position would: not everyone will get it, but everyone’s journey is their own, and there is no rush

(again, this is why I’m so delighted they wrote it the way they did--KJ and Lauren, not KJ and older!KJ, because older!KJ would have a definitive answer to give. it might be “I always knew, in the back of my mind” or it might be “when I was eighteen and kissed a girl for the first time”, but whatever the answer, it would cement KJ back into a box. this is your future, immutable, and there is no journey you could take that I haven’t already gone on. I’m so fucking glad they didn’t do this, that they let her have the reassurance that any timeline is the right one if it’s hers.)

again, that flutter-blink/quick breath combo that looks like she’s gonna pass out--but this time, there’s relief in it. it’s less “how do I say this Huge Thing” and more “oh thank god, she knows what I’m asking, she knows without me saying, and she’s being kind”

It is beautifully put together, such a gentle way of saying to this baby gay, “Nobody can tell you who you are except you, but whoever that winds up being is so okay. Listen to yourself. Trust yourself. You will be happy, I promise you.” It is a critical bit of advice so many queer people just don’t get, and to write it into KJ’s story is one of the show’s biggest kindnesses.

#paper girls #paper girls spoilers #kj brandman #i love this scene so much. i love that lauren doesn't try to make it about herself in the least #she could tell her story here--but that isn't what KJ actually needs #so instead she gives her reassurance that there's nothing wrong with what she's feeling and that it really does feel amazing to be in love #even if that love isn't what she might have expected for herself #i also just love that lauren is in her early 20s and maybe has never HAD a young kid ask this before--and you can kind of feel it #in the hesitation and the slight fumble before she lands on what is most likely what she would have needed to hear at that age #admittedly--god love her--she clearly lacks a few passive perception points #because there are so many pictures of young KJ in her girlfriend's house that she HAS to have seen them #but we forgive her this observational oversight because she's so lovely in these scenes #and it really does a great job of painting the feeling that she's drawn to this kid--who is the child version of her girlfriend-- #without EVER once being creepy about it. it's just 'oh this sweet kid i want to protect her'. a lesser show would have fucked that up #'ah she says she's KJ's cousin. they have exactly the same face at different stages of pokemon evolution but sure yeah that tracks' #'how can i help?' #again i LOVE the comics. i love them so much. but this is the same kind of gentle change as giving mac her brother for a while #it's screaming from the rooftops that these kids are not as alone as they feel #and i'm so soft about it

[xcosmicsans]

Thinking again about the difference in size between rbg arc kangaskahn vs xy arc kangaskahn…….

#like when did they get so small……. #it drives me insane like the Implications………. #it’s been like. 10 years I think?? about???? who really knows when the timeline is Like That #but like. god. is it that they’ve become more domesticated?? they’ve been caught and battled with so much that #they’re they’ve gotten smaller just as a convenience thing?? #like I know that in practice it’s just the difference between early pksp vs modern pksp #because the whole thing has a very #‘‘this is a new world to us and we’re learning about it but we’ve still just barely scratched the surface of its secrets and wonders’’ feel #hhhh but it gnaws on my brain even still #pokemon adventures #pokespe #pksp #me post

some portal gijinkas or. whatever the word is!

theyre a few weeks old and i'd def want to redraw alot of these i used the same fucking pose for two characters (poses are hard ok) but i still like em. i think i jsut specifically want to redraw virgils idk why i always have trouble drawing him 💀💀💀💀

glados was there for each one bc i wanted sizing consistensy but i ended up just. forgetting to follow that so ignore her and ignore the heights of the other two sheets....

some other art god im so tired . omg i need to make a new grady sheet omggggggg

#first sheet is cannon characters #other two are portal stories mel and some meet the cores chars via the request of a friend. #welllll the microphone guy was a request i just decided to draw the others to fill up space. oh guy next to ego core is a meet the cores oc #i hope its easy to tell whos who because i dont feel like listning off all of them (thats a lie id love to im just tired) #portal 2 #portal art #my art #also ego core is supposed to look like melli from pokemon that is intentional #wheatley looks like he exploded and it is intentional #alot of em are inspired from prior designs ive seen of characters but i still tried to be creative #i dont really like adventure cores design hes hard for me to be creative with i just decided to make him basically indiana jones #bc i was lazy #longest post on earth good god this is insane

[arcadekore]

Being an adhd creative sucks I can’t ever stick with working on just one story they’re constantly rotating in my head how does anyone just stick to one story or set of OCs what’s your secret

#god I wish I could have just stuck to one oc instead of having like 28838484 million #this is mostly rhetorical btw I’ve always been like this and I don’t rly plan to change #I just feel bad when one person comes here for a specific thing I drew and meanwhile I’m on stage three of hyperfixation #sorry for anyone who followed me for dairyshipping I am so burnt out on pokemon #and im worried that im already getting burnt out on celesteverse but i think its just me self doubting myself

[wr0ngwarp]

um. uh. hi every body. something evil and malevolent happened in my brain this month.

this is. um. a Jet Set Radio/Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Death joke AU, spawned out of a in-joke that started in a pokepasta discord. my apologies to both the pokepasta and jsr fandoms

the entire basis is the idea that Corn in Future retconned og JSR Beat as leader/founder of the GGs (is beat being leader in the og even CANON?) so Corn and Beat are the Myras. no it's not a joke funny enough to justify how many hours i sunk into drawing these. no attempt was made to change the setting, assign most of the other cast, or otherwise make this au hold up to ANY amount of scrutiny. if i tried to make this actually work somehow then i'd REALLY end up too far gone. also i keep calling myrtle!beat "Meat".

MEANWHILE, IN A BETTER UNIVERSE:,

#jet set radio #pokepasta #creepypasta #jsr #explorers of death #pokemon #crossover #gore #body horror #blood #ask to tag #long post #jsr eod #also i said ''i didnt assign almost anyone else'' but thats not entirely true. #i did assign dj professor k as wigglytuff. but i decided i needed to draw a line in the sand somewhere #and drawing dj k as eod!wigglytuff is simply too much. some mental images really DONT need to be inflicted on others #i also thought about who would be grovyle and ended up leaning towards combo #i sort of think of him as having protagonist swag about him bc of chapter 2 in teh first game. #also i have a running joke w my sibling about combo being meta-aware bc of a jp-only line he has in future #where he tells roboy he wants to save. #i swear to god i had more reasoning than this but my mind is drawing a blank rn. sad #also i guess this would imply that cube and coin would be celebi and dusknoir but theyre not even in explorers of death so RIP #i did also briefly consider clutch as grovyle bc 1. stealing things lol and 2. joke about him being future-exclusive #and grovyle is FROM DA FUTURE... but frankly clutch does not feel like he could pull off being grovyle. in my opinion. #also i guess sitting here now i suppose it wouldnt even make sense in the context of the eod au cuz everyone but the main trio is og jsr #on that note. i had no idea what to do for gum's design so i chose the most awkward route possible i guess. im sorry gum. #in general gum kinda got the short end of the stick here due to being consistently the Second-in-Command meaning she's shadow #I'M SORRY WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #well at least she's better off than yoyo. me n my sibling just automatically were like ''he's bidoof'' ''yeah he's bidoof'' #also like last note. but. the jet set radio fandom is SEVERELY lacking cliche edgy over the top evil creepypasta versions of the cast

favorite part of work today was when i told the kids to get into two lines, n this one guy was like "i don't want to" n then started talking to his buddy in mandarin, n so then in chinese i was like, "hey, come here."

n he n his buddy looked at each other n then looked at me with like that faintly displeased expression that means they've realized they can't get away with not being that good at english (or feel terribly isolated from n indifferent to the adults bc they don't speak their language) anymore

and then when i told them to line up in mandarin they groaned abt it for sure but they did drag themselves into a line

#i walked in n this one kid handed me a book to read like a big hardcover graphic novel type thing n said i could look through it #so for kicks i started reading it out loud with all the silly voices n sound effects n blocking #and so then obviously the other children started to swarm me and god. kids have so much body heat #n you can feel it bc they have no personal space qwq #n anyway so i led them all to a different corner of the room and ended up reading 15 out of the 16 chapters of the book #out loud to a big chunk of the kids for like an hour w/a 5 min break halfway through for water #and when i came back the kids were organizing the chairs themselves into a semicircle to give me enough space to perform #i was sweating more than i have in Quite A While by the end bc again. children are So Warm n also being dramatic takes energy #the same kid who handed me the book today last year handed me some pokemon cards n i ended up spending all of spring camp #drawing pokemon from cards as references for kids to color n stuff bc i didn't want to go to the computer n print out coloring pages #so! i should probably stop spoiling/“yes and--”ing kids at work w/my nonsense but it gives them smth memorable at least #but also i am so fucking tired today lol i had to leave class as soon as it was done dash home to drop off my jacket n backpack #i didn't even have time to take off my shoes before entering the house so I Did An Unforgivable Sin (walked around w/shoes on) #n then put on my work jacket n dash out the door again to go to my 5.75 hr work shift o(--( #i don't regret it!! i did tell my boss i was free for afternoon camp shifts specifically bc i wanted these shifts even tho timing'd be tigh #successfully taught a kid to tie his shoelaces today though!!!!! what's w/kids n always using the very tips of their laces to mimic you tho #when you are very clearly handling the parts of the laces right next to your foot. it did click for him tho eventually #the worm speaks

Above the summit of Mount Coronet, just as he reached out to demand the pieces of Arceus, the winds picked up; and Volo paled.

A shriek, a raucous sound like thunder, accompanied by a hiss similar to a whistling storm - the screams wrapped around each other as they climbed across the mountain, sinking nails into the rock as they ascended higher and higher and higher with their terrible cawing laughs, until finally they appeared in a swirl of green and blue, purple and grey, bright white fangs bared before him.

“There it is!” the Wind of the West howled, terrible dragon claws rasping against the temple’s broken marble floor, “There it is! Our Emperor has returned at last!”

“Our Emperor!” echoed the Wind of the South just as mockingly, mighty avian wings flapping harshly against the man: “Our Emperor! Our Emperor at last!”

They circled him too fast for Volo to try and grasp their cloud-like manes in a frenetic attempt at shutting them up, their inhuman limbs scampering across the air as they circled him cackling wildly like cruel Chatots, twin faces twisted into amused grimaces as they evaded his anger.

The ground shook, and a gust of horrible warmth arose as if bursting out of a geyser with a lunging body of orange and brown, rising above his head before coming down onto him again.

It missed, by design; and when he tried to rush out of reach in a moment that he had uncautiously considered safe the air hit him right in the chest, throwing him around in a circle for the delight of its younger siblings until its terrible teeth beneath yellow eyes bit just inches away from his nose.

“Oh, our Yellow Emperor!” roared the Wind of the East, powerful paws trying to smother him, “Why don’t you greet us, our gilded Yellow Emperor? Our kin?”

Volo fell to the floor and covered his face.

“Go away!” he shrieked, backing away, away, closer and closer to the edge of the destroyed temple, blindly squirming against the tongues of breeze tormenting him and the long horns grazing his skin to toy with him, threatening playfully to launch him into the sky to be tossed between the three deities like a ball, a toy, a pebble, a mere handful of dirt: “Go away! Leave! Leave!”

“Our Emperor doesn’t want us!” the Blue Dragon cried: “It shuns us!”

“Shuns us! Shuns us! Oh woe!” the Vermillion Bird repeated: “It shuns us!”

“Why do you shun us, our kin?” the White Tiger asked: “Why do you hate us?”

“Leave!” he screamed back, terrified: “Shut up! Get away from me!”

And they circled him tighter, sinking nails and teeth only barely into his hair and clothes, pulling and kneading to see the face of the boy who that had so readily declared himself their leader and who now struggled to evade their grasp, cawing and growling and gekkering to scare him off the ledge.

But Volo planted his palms onto the ground and held onto it with all his might even as he was grabbed and shoved, eyes wide with horror at the rough path down the mountain that would have awaited him if the beasts had gone through. He could hear the young voice behind him panic and scream and shout for the winds to desist and leave him be, and for the first time he felt genuinely grateful for the kid’s existence in this wretched world as his hands scratched and bruised against the harsh terrain as to not give in--

Pink iron grips like jasmine vines grown far too fast tightened around his wrists so harshly that he couldn’t help but scream, and rotten eyes smiled at him mockingly just beneath the ledge.

“Our Emperor!” shouted with her sweet voice the Wind of the North, snake tail wrapping around him, “Be done with my siblings and play with me now!”

And then she pulled, and he was in the air.

The fall down was rough and bruising despite the body grappling him tight against its stomach, and the water hit his back so hard that the breath left him in a thousand enormous bubbles only to replace its place in his lungs. He flailed hopelessly, scratches screaming in anguish as they painted the sea red with streaks of blood, desperate to reach the surface his burning eyes could see growing foggier and foggier every passing second - until something as hard as a shell slammed into him and threw him up towards the sky he wanted so badly to see a million times more, against the estuary’s shore, where he coughed up all the salt and water that had invaded his body to breathe again.

A hand grabbed his face, not harsh, not gentle. He, with barely any strength left in himself as he shook terribly in the cold air, cried as he was faced with the fourth beast’s mocking gaze.

“Silly boy,” the Black Tortoise cackled: “An Emperor, you thought you could be?”

Volo pulled his head away, burning bright with shame.

The eldest brother of the four winds laughed freely its gross stilted laugh, rising from the sea with the heavy breeze that makes spring to terrible to breathe, and left him curled up so far away from his otherwordly ally, to lick his wounds alone.

cue screaming abt legends Z-A

#I’m so happy they went for kalos instead of unova #like I love unova. I love unova. but I wasn’t sure what they’d do with it that would feel right #also I was 100% expecting johto either let’s go johto or legends celebi bc SO MUCH johto in that presents. THE UNOWN. and raikou and silver #but man kalos!!!! I rlly love the gen vi pokemon and it’ll be so cool to see what they do with a different version of the region #I’m expecting a kinda time travel element honestly? it seemed to go between futuristic + past stuff a BUNCH #with the redevelopment plan and the shiny light city #+ the two versions of the map it shows. those are Definitely 2 versions and one of them is past + more similar to the one we know #and one is updated but that could just be updating for switch #but ALSO Z-A. like okay AZ for a start is coming back but that’s very much a going backwards indication right #man my friend got to watch in real time as I went through the plot of the kalos games and remembered AZ and have everything click into place #it took me way too long to click that it was kalos in the trailer like it took me until talonflame to be like wait. and then PRISM TOWER #but god yeah I’m just like. I wanna know where they’re going with this bc I DOUBT it’s war era #it definitely COULD be but it would feel like a lot yknow for lumiose to be so similar that long ago #it’s not like 3000 years is a reasonable number in the first place anyway pokemon is weird #rlly rlly hoping there is the full region and that it’s made to feel less empty than paldea and hisui #if they’re going for an open world again which I feel like they will #I saw someone say they’re setting the whole thing in lumiose which would be a CHOICE. it’d be very different for sure #I don’t wanna say I wouldn’t like that but it would be a completely new kinda pokemon game. which would fit the legends idea. who knows #also wanna know what’s up with that logo bc I don’t recognise it. most similar is the aether foundation but that’s not close #even if it would make sense for aether to be around here (and I rlly hope they are) #okay wait so prism tower existing means it HAS to be future right bc clement designed it right? unless he redesigned it or smth #also I am excited abt megas coming back. I do like them they’re easily my favourite of the gimmicks #and I hope this means they’ll be sticking around again near future even though it’d be easy for them to drop them after this legends game #I can see them using lumiose or an otherwise limited setting as a way to stop it being a traditional game bc it’s proooobably not gonna be #like. go get gym badges yknow #yeah I’m rlly excited I can’t wait to see what they do with zygarde and where they’re going with this #pokemon #my money is still on time travel going backwards #luke.txt #plza

Just started rolling credits on Pokémon Violet..... and now I'm crying. I mean I kinda called the ending as I got though the Zero Zone but I didn't expect the gut punch.

Also the credits song goes kinda hard.
