Vox x Reader Headcanons: Fiancé Edition
Fiancé!Vox x gn!Reader
A/N: MY BRAINROT IS BRAINROTTING OKAY I JUST NEEDED TO DUMP THIS STUFF SOMEWHERE AFTER SEEING ALL THE WIFEY ALASTOR AND LUCIFER STUFF- LIKE I LOVE THOSE TWO BUT LEMME YEET IN MY BELOVED SAMSUNG TV NOW YALL- THIS COULD MOST LIKELY BE OOC COMPARED TO CANON BUT LIKE- LET ME DREAM I WANT THIS FLATSCREEN SO BAD P L E A A A S E-
A/N: This little thingy would have both an SFW and NSFW portion, mostly because I'm a depraved little shit and I am downbad for a 7ft bipedal television with issues-
SFW HEADCANONS:
Now first off, y'all probably would've been dating a long long while before this mans would pop the question.
I feel like he'd know that he wants to marry you, but he's so unsure of it plus he's concerned about how that would affect you in all of it.
Like, oh great if this gets out suddenly you've got one of the biggest targets on your back because you're the technology overlord's fiance and soon to be wife/husband.
As if you hadn't already when you both started dating-
Vox is a perfectionist so I'd imagine he would try so so hard to get everything completely flawless for his proposal.
But nothing goes his way that day, none, nada, zilch-
That's just his luck, totally not because it got screwed over by a certain radio demon for shits and giggles.
But he ends up asking you anyway, though a bit indirectly because it slips during his irritated rant.
"I can't believe they managed to spill wine all over me back there! All over one of my best suits as well!"
"Hun, we could always send your suit to the professional cleaners. It's okay! We can always just go someplace else next time too-"
"No! That- ugh! I had all these plans today and they were just ruined! I wanted everything to be absolutely perfect for when I was going to propose to you-"
"You were gonna what-"
Vox immediately shut up once he realized his screwup then.
So much for keeping it a surprise!
That's kind of how you ended up with a diamond ring on your finger that night.
And that's how Vox ended that really stressful day with an extremely satisfying night.
He ditched work the next day and just spent it being all over you.
Yes he admires the ring on your hand from time to time, this man just stares.
You can betcho ass that ring is expensive as fuck too.
Like as if this man didn't kiss your hands enough, that new accessory marking a new chapter of your afterlives just makes him do it more.
He's actually kinda housewife material if you squint-
This man can cook and clean, and as a bonus he's filthy stinkin RICH.
Bro I need me one of these holy shit-
If he wasn't clingy enough before, oh boy get ready for this.
He will always have an appendage on you at all times, a hand on your lower back, your hip, in your hand-
Or he'd just have you in his lap while he worked on stuff in his office.
Also, Vox being possessive as all hell if someone so much as just stared at you too long-
Please that goes straight up to 1000% when you agreed to wear that ring.
You guys planning to get hitched doesn't stay secret for too long though.
With Valentino and Velvette sticking their noses in Vox's business as a daily pastime anyhow-
Hence why a lot of sinners started shipping you two.
And oh goodness the ship wars.
Sometimes Vox wishes the internet wasn't really connected to his brain-
The magazines went wild with that one too-
Cuz imagine, the richest and the pride ring's probably most esteemed bachelor-
Aside from Lucifer probably, Vox's marketing and PR team are insanely good at their jobs-
Was now off the market and due to get hitched with you.
I'd imagine even if Vox doesn't post anything on social media, you or Vel would-
Literally like those married couples on TikTok or something with a whole bunch of cute shit.
You can best believe the most cracked out shit happens while you're both engaged though.
"Oh this is Vox, he's my ex-boyfriend."
"... You have got to stop saying that. I'm their fiancé."
You did not stop saying that.
Actually you wouldn't stop saying that even when his title upgraded to husband.
Not that Vox cares, your shenanigans were what caused him to gravitate towards you in the first place.
And until now they're what keep your relationship fun and interesting.
"Hey hubby, ooooh~ you're looking like the hottest thing in all of the pride ring despite having just rolled out of bed."
"Hahaha, good morning to you too doll."
It doesn't register what you called him at first until he's had his coffee and then it clicks.
You play it off attempting to be coy until he replays the video of you greeting and calling him that on his face.
His. Face.
Sneaky little shit that's what-
He doesn't really respond to any other petname now, you've dug your grave.
"Vox."
"Vox."
"Vooooooxxxx-"
"What? What?? What do you want???"
"Can you peel this orange for me?"
"Really? That's it? Why don't you peel it yourself?"
"Because it tastes better when you do it?"
He does it eventually, hell if he's in a particularly good mood he'll even feed you.
That's always kind of how it goes when you ask him for things.
If it's something you want/can buy though?
You're already in possession of his credit card, just get whatever tf you want HAHAHAHA-
He's still a busy bastard though so it's not really much different from how it's like when you guys were dating-
But he genuinely tries to balance his work a little better to spend more time with you.
This man is such a workaholic though you end up having to drag his ass out of his office to rest anyway.
Again, nothing new from when you were just dating.
You guys jokingly throw around your soon to be marital titles in private.
Vox kind of feels like a kid in a candy store when you do, just giddy and excited for what's to come.
Not to mention he now has a partner in crime when he riffs on Alastor!
He'd be over the MOON if you just joined his chaos.
The radio demon probably wouldn't give a shit, he's just built different like that-
You both get so comfortable that you almost forget that you have a wedding to plan and set a date for.
Until Velvette asks about it and you're both just: "Oh. Right."
Your fiancé's schedule is so fucking packed though it was nearly impossible to.
This guy was going to work himself to death before you could tie the knot lmao-
But eventually you both got a date and venue settled, so that was one step closer.
NSFW HEADCANONS:
Okay so like, I know sinners can't actually copulate unless you're Lucifer but that's besides the point-
And Vox isn't really a family man at all-
But boy oh boy if he didn't have it before-
This man would have an insane breeding kink after you both got engaged.
This man wants to see you stuffed.
Literally doesn't matter if you're riding him or he's just impaling you on his cock-
This guy just wants to fill you up so bad.
I'd also think that you guys would be screwing around a lot more often after he popped the question-
Something about emotions constantly running high and dopamine being one hell of a drug.
I think Vox is a switch, so I'd also imagine he'd be more inclined to let you dom him every now and then.
Or when he just wants to be a bratty little shit please go ahead and tame him, he likes it.
You can kind of get away with more stuff when you're both engaged.
Like tease him a whole ton and he just bites hook, line and sinker.
It's already gotten to the point where the power in the tower would die often enough that Velvette herself has gone through some crazy lengths to cockblock her colleague.
Speaking of, Vox would probably use you as a stress reliever after work if you let him-
Like he will just fuck you stupid until all you say is his name because this guy is addicted to hearing it.
Or he'd let you fuck him stupid until he's so far into sub space he forgets about his shitty day.
Cuz if it's rough, it's rough with you two.
But on the gentler side-
It's just as addicting and if not probably a little worse.
Though you would probably be the one taking initiative/domming whenever you both have gentle rounds.
I'm all for Vox being able to switch some of his parts cuz he wanted to/can.
So y'all have fucking choices when it comes to wrecking this idiot.
Like a multiple choice exam, literally shotgun the fuck outta those answers like you deteriorate his mental.
And consequently the entire city's power grid.
"GODDAMNIT! VOX! (Y/N)! NOT AGAIN!!"

Dragalia's Knights of Glory art
Now, it's been gone over how Dragalia Lost actually used quite a bit of inspiration from one of Cygames' previous works, Knights of Glory, for anything from character designs to dragons.
Of course, this showed up quite literally with characters like Lea when they quite literally just had the "Knights of Glory" showcase, but it also showed up in characters ranging from Jakob to Mikoto to Jurota (also showcasing the alighting butterfly blade, also in Dragalia):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
However funny it is to see who we came to know as different characters in a different media, though, the dragons are 10x funnier to look at.
You see, it seemed that Knights of Glory had a certain 'evolution system' to dragons, where they'd develop and grow more fancy, if they weren't inexplicably transforming into an attractive humanoid woman because of course-
And oh boy, we can kinda see alternative evolutionary paths for the Greatwyrms.
There's Midgardsormr, who seems to most closely resemble the fully evolved form from the start...(he also gained an element, as this dragon line apparently has no element!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mercury, who is in her middle phase:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Imagine a hydra Mercury!
...Brunhilda? Not very sure on this one. She might just be a new design, but here's my best guess for what dragon they might have been inspired from:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Of course, in her 'final form' if this was a dragon they used as inspiration.
Jupiter, whom I'd almost put in his middle stage for closeness of design:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last but not least, poor Zodiark, who really got hammered with the skeletal dragon design and is also in his middle stage and is also drooling 24/7:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Where is his stomach? Where are his organs? Why is he bipedal?? He lost some bulk in his transition to Dragalia, too. Honestly, I like Dragalia Zodiark more than his inspiration here.
That's enough of full evolutionary trees for now, though.
Some other funny ones to me include:
-Silke turning into a skeletal horse on her final evolution:
Tumblr media
-Baby Leviathan going :-D all the time:
Tumblr media
-Baby Poseidon (honestly a lot of the babies are funny since we only knew their final forms, typically);
Tumblr media
-Possibly Cat Sìth inspiration???
Tumblr media
-Baby Zephyr:
Tumblr media
-Baby Nidhogg, sitting all prim and proper and ready to watch Euden die still:
Tumblr media
-Teenage...Satan? Having a evil little :) face going on there...
Tumblr media
Speaking of, quite a few of the dragons were actually repurposed into bosses, as with Satan above, like everyone's favorite:
Tumblr media
(We must not let Phraeganoth be revived! ...Until Bondforged Zethia's story, at least).
Might be a stretch here, but maaaaaybe a bit of Kai Yan in here?
Tumblr media
The Hypnos/Thanatos/Mega Monarch Emile line's general design:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is getting long enough as it is, but if you want to see a mix of some old with a lot of new art that they might have used as inspiration for more dragons/adventurers, here's the link I used to the collections of KoG artwork that people were able to preserve:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DragaliaLost/comments/9rtlnz/knights_of_glory_albums/
Hopefully you find it just as interesting and funny as I did perusing the old art!

I looked up at the delegate for the countries, a large. Tall thing alien man with a spear on his back and a passive face.
"what's with the stick?"
He looked down at me, eyes narrowed to look down at me. My team staring horrified as I calmly looked up at him.
I'd been assigned as a delegate for humanity. Mostly because the war delegate wanted a war so they sent me. A moron from backwater Perth. Problem was I was very good at pissing people off. Specifically, getting people to crack and break down laughing.
"my xre?"
"no, the stick."
"..." He held the gaze with his coworker, a pink bipedal lizard woman. Who shrugged, the aquatic lizard unsure.
"It's called a xre."
"it's a stabby stick."
"..." He held his mouth open, attempting to correct her before it clicked.
"this isn't about it."
"no, it very much is about it. Is it more ceremonial?"
"... How did you even-"
"is that a yes or no?"
"yes. But how-"
"I guessed."
"..."
"oh alright. The stabby stick looked too... Refined."
The hall by now had long since moved to watch the conversation, the woman seeming not to notice the tension as the man thought.
"also you look trans."
"... Excuse me?"
"transexual. It's a thing where-"
"I am well aware of your culture's... But how-"
"you walk like a cunt."
"... Excuse me?"
"You walk with a swagger of "I'm a bad bitch. And I know it!" What the fuck do you think??"
"... ???"
"that's what I mean by cunt."
The negotiations went surprisingly smooth after that, aliens highly confused by the blunt woman as she cracked jokes and asked obvious questions.
"ok. I hear you. But this is our planet and I don't think. Uhhhh. Texas, Texas isn't gonna let go of it's guns."
"... Texas?"
"pfbpfbpfbt. So y'know the UEN right?"
"the organisation of earth yes."
"well it's composed of countries."
"and Texas..."
"I wasn't done. Now one of those countries is. Uhh. United states of America. And it's made up os states and one of those is Texas."
"... I fail to see-"
"now Texas is. At minimum. Is a day and a half trip long. Walking. "
"..."
"ok. So. In layman's terms Texas might start a war with all y'all because they don't wanna lose their firearms. And also we're kinda paranoid about y'all invading us. So."
"that went well."
"I know right? I'm surprised y'all didn't throw me out into space ages ago."
"Ah. Alright. Speaking of which..."
"send the most open minded."
"pardon?"
"you're gonna send researchers, send your most open minded. Ooh. Send the most bigoted ones."
"I- how do you even-"
"know? Easy. You're an open book."

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
give that man some gd body positivity for once he deserves it
sam is FAT and as a fat guy this is important to me. hes also very clearly self hating abt it and as a fat guy whos the same way that makes me wanna cry. i lov him your honor and i hope he can recover
ps: stop drawing him skinny Please oh god it hurts.
excessively long id under the cut for those who need it
[id: a six-panel borderless comic featuring sam from sam & max, and klugpuuo's fursona, fluorite.
panel 1: sam is looking off to his side, clearly agitated but trying to mask it. he's apparently making a dry joke about his weight, or deciding to go on a diet, but isn't happy about it. behind him, fluorite stares at him, a stylized red glint on its glasses.
panel 2: now off-screen, fluorite says "sam, listen.", which apparently shocks sam into silence.
panels 3 to 4: fluorite goes on a long-winded rant. transcript:
You've been making those jokes more or less constantly, and I just wanna mention, if you WANT, PERSONALLY, to be thin, then power to you, but it really doesn't seem like it. Being fat is a completely neutral thing, dude. The only reason it's seen as bad is because like five assholes in the beauty and medical industries realized that you can make a lot of money off of people's insecurities. That's literally it. Unless you're so fat you physically cannot move and are at active risk of dying because of it, you don't have to lose weight for anyone, at all, period.
And, with these jokes, too... Like, I get it, I know how it feels. Making light of this kind of self-hating stuff makes it feel more like a joke, or it just makes it feel... better. Something shared by others instead of terrifying and awkward and alone, even if others are laughing more AT you [than with you]
But at the end of the day, all that this kinda rhetoric is gonna do for you is just make everyone around you feel uncomfortable. It's gonna feed into other's self-hatred, or in another equally bad scenario, it broadcasts your self-hatred to people who'll use it t hurt you and people you care about. Assholes who want nothing more to just bring you harm and etc.
end transcript.
panel 5: sam, looking pensive, puts a hand to his face in thought, saying "
...So, to simplify your long-winded jargon-full rant for our audience (as in, Max, who's coming back over right now),
"Being... over the average weight for a bipedal lifeform of my specific height,
Isn't inherently indicative of some form of extreme moral, mental or physical failure?"
Fluorite responds with a simple "yea" in a comedically large font.
panel 6: sam looks up, brow not furrowed in concentration, discomfort or any negative emotion, and his shoulders are slack. he simply says "huh" in wonder.
end id.]

If you have time, could you do some scenarios of four of the TFP Decepticons (of your choice) taking care of their Fem Human S/o while she's on her period?
Absolutely, anon!! Thank you for requesting! <3
~*~*~*
Decepticons included: Megatron, Dreadwing, Predaking and Starscream
Content: Fem! reader, as stated above <3
Warnings: Some profanity
Notes: I always picture the Transformers in a smaller version of their bipedal mode to actually cuddle you with. ALSO this is my first time writing for Transformers for the first time in a while, so this might be shitty. I'm sorry if it is <3
~*~*~*
Megatron
I think we can all agree that none of these mechs will know what the hell you're talking about, girlie (when it comes to periods)
But he's gonna pretend like he knows
Later on when you're not around, he'll research
He's the silent supporter
He'll just grab you some meds, heating pad, hot water bottle, anything you typically need on your period
He wont even ask what you want, he just gives it all to you and just hopes that you'll use it lol
If you want cuddles, he'd most likely give a throaty chuckle (THIS MECH DOES THINGS TO ME I CAN'T-) and go "yes, dear." before giving you what you want
AAAAAAAAA PLEASE MEGATRON PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE JUST A C R U M B OF AFFECTION?!!
sorry. lost control of myself for a second.
He'd cuddle you from behind, obviously being big spoon (BECAUSE WHY WOULDN'T HE-)
BIG servos on your tummy, gently massaging,,, mmmmmm
i need to get a hold of myself I AM SO SORRY-
Dreadwing
Girl you're gonna have to explain to this himbo what human anatomy is, much less what a period is
He wont cuddle you (mans is not a huge cuddler in my opinion-) but he WILL give you moral support
"You're doing great babe" he says from across the room as you're dying
BUT ITS OKAY cause we love him. people still love him right?
He'll be sure to get you meds though. Just cause he's not a cuddler doesn't mean he doesn't love you
"My pain is your pain babe" he says, making you glare at him
Wont understand anything you tell him at first until he looks it up later
He's relatively chill about it, doesn't really see a reason to make a scene about it
Predaking
Another himbo
Except this himbo is a WORRIER
The stereotypical "But babe, if you bleed for seven days, don't you like...die?" kinda mindset, which is why he worries
He doesn't exactly understand that its normal and you're used to it by now, so he's constantly thinking "what if something goes wrong?!"
When you tell him about the wonderful savior that is heating pads, he decides "oh shit, I'm your heating pad now" and will cuddle you whenever your cramps act up
Megatron can wait
You can't
At least, to him <3
Unlike Megatron, Predaking will face you when you cuddle. Or, well, he's curled around you. Dragon form or bipedal form.
You'll be laying on him, pressed into him. He feels like a heater, so you wont be needing your heating pad anytime soon lol
he doesn't know how to massage, but he'll learn if you want him to rub your tummy, or anywhere else that aches
Will give you many kisses, and lull you into many naps <3
Starscream
Oh man
This himbo will act like he knows everything, when he obviously doesn't
"Starscream no, I'm on my period"
"So? Just pee it out"
AKHDHSJGDFSH HE WOULD SAY THAT-
You'd probably lose it laughing I know I would and he'd be all pissy cause you're laughing at him
When you actually explain what's going on, he's a little more sympathetic
Super distant though until it's over cause you laughed at him >:(
Piss baby
Until he misses you, then he gets clingy
It's very confusing and he's all over the place which is NOT helping your cramps
He's screeching about something and you just want him to shut up. Kiss him, girl. Make him cuddle with you cause cramps are HORRIBLE.
DON'T. HAVE. HIM. MASSAGE. SHIT. With those claws, NO. That's gonna do you more harm than good.
Starscream is physically clingy so if you reject his touch he's gonna be all pissy, so just give him kisses as an apology

How do you think Darius and Eberwolf met?
HELLO, HI, I LOVE THIS QUESTION (I also just remembered I have a wip of that I completely forgot about oops)
See, I find very sweet the possibility that they might have met when they were both children, even if that meant they drifted apart at some point and then reunited, but most of the time I headcanon that they met at the coven.
Despite Eberwolf becoming a Coven Head, I feel like they might have faced some prejudice because it doesn't seem like demons truly hold an equal position in society on the Boiling Isles, other than the bipedal demons, but that's still just one of three types of what seems to be an incredibly abundant race in the demon realm. Now, of course Eber has to be a bipedal demon, he can do magic and, well, he's bipedal, but he does look a lot more beastly than other bipedal demons, so I think there's a good possibility that he's part bipedal, part beast demon, which wouldn't give him a very good standing.
He's powerful, however, and bringing him in as a Coven Head is probably good for an image of "anyone can become a Coven Head" if Belos was going for the publicity angle, though mostly I imagine he must have cared about him being powerful since the Head Witches were the catalysts for the draining spell. We know how the rest of the Coven heads were though, and I don't think they particularly cared for being kind even to one of their peers.
So here's what I'm getting at: Because of all of that and the fact that Eberwolf doesn't speak the "common" language on the Isles, I think to a certain point no one was bothering with them too much, with a general attitude at the castle being like "ah, let someone else deal with that beast", more passive aggressive that straight up rude. Now, I doubt Darius was even interested on them at the beginning, too busy trying to figure out what had happened to his mentor, or being a little bit depressed, or both. He would have learned by this point that connections at the castle are a big no-no anyway.
But "he doesn't give me the time of day" is still better than "he sees me as lesser" so I like to think Eber latched onto that and kinda went "oh, it's too late, you're never getting rid of me now", and no matter how irritated Darius seemed to be, he was still irritated because of Eber's behavior, not because of his nature, so Eber was delighted 😭
I tend to think that there's scarce people who can truly understand Eberwolf, most of them getting by with written messages or rough signing, and Darius learned out of spite just so he could retort properly and then they kinda ended up being stuck together for missions because hey, why not send the one guy who can handle the Beastkeeping Head Witch? And Darius didn't even want to be friendly but now he's stuck with them and uh, oh, overtime he started getting fond of them. It was very much mutual, and once they found out they both had rebel tendencies? Oh, it was for life.
Nobody asked for this but take a fragment of the wip I mentioned at the beginning to see if I can somehow gather motivation from this to actually finish it:
“This is no beast,” He states through gritted teeth, even if the extremely pleased and sharp smile the small furry demon is sending in his direction makes him want to take back his assessment.   The scouts that are still there, watching the spectacle with what Darius guesses must be stunned expressions behind their masks. If they put as much effort on their jobs as they do on staring at him, they could have avoided this whole thing, but he’d rather extricate himself from this situation as swiftly as possible than waste his time by scolding them. “But Head Witch Eberwolf-” “-is right here," He cuts them off, watching with little amusement how they turn their heads so fast behind them that he's fairly sure at least one of them has some extra vertebrae on the neck to make for that ease of movement. "The demon you just pushed at me," He clarifies. The scouts stop moving so abruptly that Darius wonders if they were somehow petrified without him realizing. And with all their clothes staying intact instead of turning to stone alongside them. It’s impressive really, though not enough to lessen his irritation.

last week at the library I picked up a book bc it was titled "GUNDOG" and I needed to know what a gundog was. the answer is a giant robot. the robot had many guns but was bipedal so I still don't know where the dog part came from. and of course it was hidden in a secret (?) hangar under mt rushmore
I felt like this book was a bad action movie that was hit with a beam that turned it into a book and maybe the beam was malfunctioning also. it didn't do anything new or interesting. at first I thought it was a little interesting bc the premise is that these robotic alien invaders came to earth peacefully but humans couldn't trust them and attacked so they turned on the human race and subjugated us. but actually that was a lie and humans wanted a peaceful option while the aliens are lawful evil and wanted to kill everyone. there's just nothing interesting about these aliens. if it was a movie and you saw cool effects it might be enough but they were a real snoozefest in the book and didn't make any sense either. they have the ability to wipe out the human race if they so desire but they chose to keep people alive in camps to do mining and manufacturing? why dont you do it yourself if you're these super advanced robots. they were just as evil as possible all the time with no real logic
it was also subtly (?) sexist. the main character is a woman and she has an important relationship with her mom but otherwise I feel like she's just tugged around by the men in her life. again if this was a movie and she was an action heroine doing kickass stunts it might have tricked you into thinking she was a strong character but she kinda wasnt. first she has her older brother who used to look out for her but he lost his arm in an accident and she is obsessed with taking care of him now. I actually don't mind that kind of sibling role reversal but it's part of a pattern. bc then a stranger comes to town and she becomes obsessed with him and they go on the run together. and then HE dies and a new guy shows up who's a soft-spoken geek thats in love with her and he made me the most mad bc he undermined her at every turn. she struggled to find mt rushmore and had to have the help of the stranger who knew where it was but this new guy found it bc he has a photographic memory and saw the map once. shut the hell up. she's supposed to be a tough engineer who spent her childhood living rough in the woods but this guy turns out to be better at her than everything. the worst example is when they're trying to stick an improvised device on the wall of the alien robot stronghold and the main character's like "oh no i can't do it bc the air force didn't have any duct tape in their secret hangar" (I'm still mad about this) and the new guy chews some gum and sticks the device to the wall with gum
this guy was the first screenwriter they hired for rogue one so now I retroactively hate rogue one

"Maybe with that sort of fleet, we can finally be free. I have yet to meet any pony like you, Stella. We are doing economically well, but not enough to do extra. We have built a small chain of artifical islands for food and resources, but not enough to explore space. We have magic ore mines that we wrestled from Arimaspi but things are never enough. Every old important building here is built by the Empress " Aurora shrugged, finishing the final touches on the potion with a sauce.
"Well... the best technological advancement we created was the hover board, powered by Aether. But hover board races are really dangerous.. so unicorns are the usual riders since they could be controlled by magic. Also its uses are restricted for now, especially in the capital... due to many ponies misusing it... I can show you mine, if you like."
"We have our Fluttershy but she's busy somewhere in the Dragon Lands with Master. Yes, the main six exist here.. although their capabilities are different..."
Reaching a golden runic door at the end of the hallway, Aurora gave a knock hard but doesn't receive any answer.
"I'm going to say this: Her highness can be rude at times. Perhaps, it's due to recent events. Strange, she's not answering."
Giving a swift kick on wooden door blocking the way, Aurora rushed towards a nearby bed, dorned with jewels and runes of power. The bed glowed briefly with a goldenlike aura, but soon resumed its mundane form.
Upon closer examination, the duo could see fresh blood stains everywhere, from the carpet to floor. All sorts of books were scattered, as although it was ransacked.
The centre of the bed was revealed to be lean like figure of an alicorn, now covered with bandages. Once a proud figure but reduced to being a sickly figure with bloodshot eyes.
"...."
Aurora gave a worried glance between the duo and the Empress before spoon feeding the later who merely kept an eerie silence...
Tumblr media
Stella trilled softly, enjoying the compliment and praise. “Yeah, well, it wasn’t easy making that stuff… I don’t even remember when I suddenly figured it all out, or what happened when I did. It’s… weird.” She shrugged. “But nevertheless, here I am.”
She paused, thinking. “I don’t think I can just lend my tech though, regardless of whether this world is sleeping or awake. But I can provide guidance, meaning I can help explain how it works. That way, you can make it yourself! There’s also a little loophole that’ll let me provide any needed resources…”
Tumblr media
Sol shook his head. “I’ll just let that pass… Just don’t get us in trouble, Stell.”
Tumblr media
“I won’t!” Stella blepped.
She sounded really interested in these hoverboards. “Wait… Are they like Extreme Gear?! Gosh, I love those things so much! They’re like, the most stylish hoverboards out there!” She giggled again, one particular Gear quickly coming to mind. Perhaps one of the most famous, actually. “I wish I could figure out how to make a design that works well with quadrupeds, though…”
“See, most of the canon Gear types are meant for bipedal creatures, specifically ones with hands, and it’s not that simple to adapt them for ponies. You said it yourself, most ponies can’t stand on their hind hooves for very long. I could still design it similarly to a normal board, but it’d have to be a lot wider. Can’t really make replicas when they have to be wider.” She sighed. “Kinda sucks… Oh, but I’d love to see yours! Just, uh… maybe after the important stuff.”
The two unicorn visitors nodded to acknowledge Aurora’s warning. They were worried, though. Really worried. That concern only grew as time went on, starting when their guide had to literally kick open the door. They entered hesitantly, with Stella looking around in confusion, and Sol focusing on the Empress herself.
Tumblr media
Sol watched Aurora feed the feeble alicorn, and felt bad for her. There had to be some way he and Stella could help. Geez, he really did want to help here, didn’t he? That cosmic mare must be rubbing off on him…
With a sigh at that realization, he makes an attempt to sense the Empress’s magic signature, and try to figure out what was wrong based on how that magic flowed through her body. He knew there were changes to how magic flowed through a magic user’s body when they were sick or injured, at least back home. An Elysian’s magic not only sustained them, but also protected them. However, it might work differently for Equestrians, and even more so in an entirely different universe.

Klaus Goldstein Ch6 [8~14]
Tumblr media
are you fucking kidding me I apologize, students sorry……..
Tumblr media
oh gosh the possibility of Serge appearing is increasing ah, have Klaus and Serge already met? so he was that distraught? well it's not a bad guess
Tumblr media
does Al know Taffy too? it's not easy to not know about that bipedalism plush though by the way, is Al aware of that incident 6 years ago related to Klaus-Randy-Serge one student being petrified is an incident that could have a significant impact anyway…?
Anyway, his soft voice and the sound of his approaching footsteps were painfully loud for Liz in this state.
Tumblr media
oh I know this
On that day, mankind received a grim reminder.
But contrary to her fears, he gently scooped her up in his arms, informing her the potion had temporarily turned her into a cat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I told you, this guy is also kinda weird I recognized his bizarre taste from the time he said that Illusion Station was cool while everyone else said it was gloomy and dismal
So she leaped down from his arms for a big cat adventure. Just because her body became a cat, did her mental age also become a cat?
Tumblr media
snap out of it man you wanna eat feedstuff for the rest of your life?
As she was walking through the courtyard…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Klaus and Cae spotted
Tumblr media
oh? what's this conversation has there been any progress in the investigation? but why are you guys the only ones who know let me know too
Just then, Cae stopped his departure.
Tumblr media
heh… so he also noticed those two nocturnal idiots won't notice nor care at all though
Tumblr media
And well she happened to sit on his lap.
Tumblr media
maybe this is her chance to hear his inner thoughts this time, she'll be able to eavesdrop without being discovered well it feels like you're digging into the person's inner thoughts without their consent though~…
ahem mah! everyone has their own burden! besides I think he started life in rather easy mode? his family is somewhat high-class, his economic situation is decent, his appearance is good, and his skills are excellent …is he bragging or something
At that time, Al's voice was heard calling Liz's name from afar.
Tumblr media
erm well I don't think Al's backstory will be dealt with in any depth right now… they'll just create a temporary unstable atmosphere and then move on as if nothing happened I guess?
Anyway, when Al was trying to pick up her from Klaus…
Tumblr media
wellll… has the effect disappeared? but then, was there really a need for an antidote
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hehe… thigh… zettai ryouiki… hehe…
Tumblr media
by the way, it's the bridal carry pose again just like in Ch3… but now that I think about it, that pose is kinda awkward? now her abdomen is in the upper but if she was sitting on his lap while being a cat, she would've been sitting like Maxwell cat
Tumblr media
like this
uh… or not perhaps it would've looked weird if she had turned into a human in that exact posture
Tumblr media
okay I got it it looks definitely weird
Tumblr media
so there was no need to take an antidote but well she turned back into a human before she could do anything worthy as a cat. it feels kinda deflated~… we couldn't hear his inner thoughts (this might just be because I bought a normal item though), and becoming a cat didn't make much progress in the story or was this chapter created as a rest session for the next chapter
Anyway, when Klaus asked for an explanation of the situation, Liz started explaining why she turned into a cat and why she ended up sitting on his lap.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is not entirely her fault, this fuss wouldn't have existed if that plush hadn't suddenly popped out the mighty emperor is giving a lecture again
Tumblr media
Al… that guy keeps nagging
Tumblr media Tumblr media
what what? what's this sudden outburst no way turn on the blinker ;; what are you doing
Tumblr media
huh,,,,,,, what's wrong with that guy his apology doesn't sound like an apology at all, there's not a single sincerity in it
Tumblr media
Al… you should let it slide you said you've known him for a long time, you already know his personality is quite… one that you don't want to get close to, yeah? you should let it slide…… I'm sorry I can only tell you this, but… there's nothing else I can do
-Ch6 End-
+)
Tumblr media
he's not here ! ! ! this goes against our deal Solmare
nah don't give up yet perhaps in Ch7!

Top fav/east fav pokemon designs in scarlet/violet.
Over more than an hour later this is more ‘crow comments on almost every new pokemon, oops’. I am passionate about cool designs... I didn’t mean to come for bogleech’s throne!
 Under spoiler tag because I was lucky to play without having been spoiled on ANY of them and I want to keep that experience, total spoilers ahead.....
Tumblr media
I was so annoyed the cute grass kitty immediatly became bipedal, but I really do dig the whole line, even the last one. The base is SO cute I LOVE kitty and being a sort of bandit and then a magician is cool. Especially enjoy how the final form is bipedal but not THAT humanoid- it’s a neutral body rather than being uncomfortably curvy or gendered. Also as I look at it: final form kinda is a lot like how I draw my eye deers in terms of “fluffy pastel body, long skinny darker legs”
Tumblr media
hate
I’m so sorry they did this to the duck. I’M SO SORRY. the duck was cute and then the middle is ugly and the final.... in battle usually the tail is extended and it’s obviously a ‘festivale’ thing, but it’s so unsettling. I hate how human it is, it’s dancing.... I hate this creature and for it to be a STARTER feels so unfair. who okay’d it.
Tumblr media
I always loved dunspace as a kid playing gold silver, even tho it was useless. It was so mystifying looking and... odd. It was the pokemon that really most felt like a cryptic mystery of a being, you know? Like what the hell IS it? I’ve learned since it’s like... Tsuchinoko, maybe. But for it to FINALLY have an evolution that is almost entirely identical is really funny to me. Yep. That sure is just dunsparce. I mean. Dudunsparce. It’d have been cool for him to suddenly be a giant badass snake monster but this is better
Tumblr media
Okay two off: TaROUNtula is adorbs and his evolution sucks. a little yarn ball spider with a kinda dopey face is really cute and then he turns into... way too dude shaped and really unappealing. He doesn’t look much like his pre-form and loses all the charm. A spider with a spindle it uses to make traps is great but why this??
Tumblr media
Dolliv is super super cute. I love the many grass and bug pokemon that are just ‘cute girls’. I don’t like humanoid pokemon, but a lot of them are more stylised human than bordering on uncanny, and they look cute and fun. Dolliv works with her theme perfectly and is extremely cute. But man I was really REALLY happy to see Arboliva !! She’s funky and stylish in a different way. Sure, we could have another Tsureena line, where the end is basically a plant ginjinka gal, but while still hhumanoid Arboliva is way funkier. She usually is in a wreath shape too to better show off her design. I love her colour pallete too. She feels like something I’d make....
Tumblr media
He..............
how can you not love this little face. His weird metal collar and his funky arms that he usually stows. Those eyes tho. He’s so cute and simple.
Tumblr media
I wouldn’t normally like anything about this design. Like, it’s fine, but very very simple and  nothing screams pokemon about it. But extra shoutout: they are VERY funny. The names are both great (Maushold is one of the few times I sensibly chuckle at a pun name) and the fact they almost always evolve when you’re not looking- and their evolution is having children- is great. I was worried it was a glitch but I hope (and believe) it’s on purpose. You one day look and OH SHIT! THEY HAD CHILDREN. I thought I’d gone insane for a moment and missed it, 10/10 experience I carried this couple in my bag and they gave birth without telling me
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I know birds are... hard. because they’re birds. But what is WRONg with the birds this gen? I don’t despise any of them, but they’re the most Bird Birds I’ve ever seen. The flamingo is litterally a flamingo full stop. The stork is mostly a stork, the weird flesh sack it carries creeps me out and without it it’s. Just A Stork?! Wattrel as a seabird is Fine as a first evolution, but it’s evolve really bores me. And Squawkabilly is a nice pun and most pokemon looking, but still very plain. He has four plumages and yet who will care? He also so clearly needs an evolution to lean harder on the theme.
Tumblr media
Hehe........ crab. I love giant enemy crab. He’s very charming. Eeriely robotic. The idea of him as an ambush predator is cool, I wish in game he actually WOULD blend in and strike you!
Tumblr media
I didn’t like the first evo at all but he’s here for context, because once I evolved him I was enamoured. Just like minecraft......... but really, a blocky, salt construct is cool. I love his colours on the evo while the middle stage looks like a sweet little dude.
Tumblr media
his mini pic isn’t the best, so here’s him better. Not normally my type of poke at ALL but she’s just really charming to me. Big blocks. Love the sediment layer ombre.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His little image isn’t very clear. This rock/poison flower.... what is he? A crystal that looks like a flower but isn’t. I really don’t know what is the inspiration beyond just ‘crystal-ish flower’, but he looks both very futuristic and like some prehistoric plant! The strange little eyes and the transparent cone at the front add to the mystery.
Tumblr media
I don’t think I LIKE Shroodle but it’s hard to hate those empty eyes. I raised one for ages because I HAD to know what he was. A crocodile of some sort was my bet. Apparently it’s a ‘mouse’ which is then more confusing when it turns into a monkey. I think on reflection he might be designed on a spray paint can... his evo is a grafiti monkey, and he has a long shiny body with a black cap, with a tuft of paintbrush like hair! but he’s def not a monkey.
Tumblr media
Grafaiai tho is a very cool design. I hate monkeys and apes but a lemur can stay, it has a cool design and colors and I really enjoy the wide glossy eyes.
Tumblr media
this one was just an insant win for most everyone. Bread dog! And then he gets BAKED! he’s really cute and I definitely called he’d be a dash-bun before he evolved
Tumblr media
This old ass dog....... it’s not just that he has a very endearing story role but that helps. He’s nothing really too special, but he has such sweet eyes and really captures the feeling of a fking old ass dog....... like this is a dog that was MADE to lay on the living room floor for hours and grumble in his sleep!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I hate gimmighoul!!!!!! AAA!!! No, seriously, what is up with this guy? Without the chest it looks like... a sentai...? I’ve never been a fan in gen of power rangers or super sentai designs anyways but it’s my best guess for what this bastard is. The base version vaguely also makes me think cockroach, but sadly needs to be 300% more cockroach. The chest version would be fun- pokemon has mimics but not the classic treasure chest!- except... he keeps poking his stupid head out, which doesn’t at all bring to mind a mimic! The chest form is indeed just the bastard in a box, no unique changes.
THEN THE EVOLUTION.... who the hell is this roadside used car lot advertising man and why does he make me look for so many of his stupid children to earn the right to hate him? This design is so confusing for me. What is he? Bad. His pokedex entry tells me he’s 1000 stacked coins but looks more like a bullet.
Tumblr media
god he does resemble like a 90s ad campaign to appeal to the youth and get them to stop smoking huh. But really, for the amount of annoying effort and time it takes to get him, he is not worth it at all. Horrendous thing. Stupid thing. AAA. aaa.
Seriously, I never liked gimmeghoul but I definitely imagined a fitting final form would be way bigger on the ‘treasure’ theme. He has a chest form and you collect coins- imagine if he was a riff on a treasure hoard instead! A long serpant busting through a treasure box covered in coins, a mimic who hides as a great hoard barely poking out, a centipede with coins as armor....
Tumblr media
Okay, I played violet, so the past pokemon I didn’t get to see. On beating the main story I decided to look finally at the full dex so I could see all the version exclusives. I quite enjoy them, and while I liked violet’s designs old pokemon exclusives/legend more the ancient pokemon are nicer than the robots.. because the robots gimmick is continously the same ‘a pokemon but robot’.
This jigglypuff is very funny to me. She’s kinda just a joke of ‘cute jigglypuff but with little fangs’ but I can’t resist her charms.
Tumblr media
Also^ I think pokemon doesn’t know how long ONE BILLION YEARS is.
Tumblr media
Admittedly she’s a very plain riff on misdreveous, but I’ve always liked misdreaveous and she looks neat. I like her spikes, not sure why she has one green wing arm. It’s nice the pearl necklace evolved early imao
Tumblr media
1. what is a PTEROSAUR in the context of pokemon???
2. how could this EVER look like a PTEROSAUR
Tumblr media
Volcarona is such a lovely pretty moth, and this version is super cool. I love how they tweaked with her regular features and made her so similar but so new. It’s just a SUPER cool bug and I really really love her
Tumblr media
they need to stop doing this to my boy
what is this
So salamance might be my fav pokemon ever by childhood bias: Ruby was a very dear game and I raised a salamance from a bagon up to level 100! Then I kept the same salamance and transferred him between games, up to Platinum. I love that weird, fat dragon.... he’s a popular pokemon, so has had a lot of extra forms, and they all suck
No, seriously!
Tumblr media
Boy. baby boy.
Tumblr media
evil.
Salamance is a brightly coloured (but teal and pale red not the godawful tones of his mega) fat dragon. I keep saying fat but someone has to remind Pokemon. He’s a big and solid boy, but mega evo takes away that (and his arms) and makes him this super tacky bizarre monstrocity. Now we have Roaring Moon....
Tumblr media
What is this? The idea of a feathery funky salamance is great, I appreciate even it resembles the mega evolution since gimicks are lately just one generation then forgotten. But his body shape and colors are so odd and messy. He looks really thrown together with a few basic good ideas that are completely not working!
TREAT SALAMANCE BETTER
Tumblr media
I have really no strong feelings on the robot pokemon, meanwhile. They... look cool enough, ish. They’re robots that look like other pokemon. The designs really don’t do anything crazy interesting though, even tho they make changes it’s nothing radical. I only put Iron Hands here because I want you to know in a lore book you can find, it’s said Iron Hands is maybe a cyborg, not a pokemon, and might have a living person in there somehow. That weirds me out.
I definitely do wish the techno future pokemon did more though! Instead of just being ‘robot very similar to other pokemon’, it feels we’re missing out on ‘more evolved’ versions of pokemon or robot-flesh mixes.  My immediate pitch for a more evolved (in IRL biology) pokemon from the future? An extremely fierce magicarp that has finally become strong! Or a bagon that has skipped needing to be salamance and has adapted wings of its own! There’s so much potential to look at odd pokemon and imagine how they might adapt over years of natural evolution. You also could do robo-flesh hybrids as said, where I have no exact ideas but something like... A combee that has adapted to work with nanorobots in a swarm? Hell, put magicarp in a mechasuit and say in the future magicarp has learned to psychically build mecha suits. Why not.
Tumblr media
okay, she’s pretty cool tho. I def like to see gardevoir/gallade fusion one, who def makes the most bold changes to the design too (well, I guess iron treads is nothing like donaphan REALLY, but...). Haters gonna hate her nonbinary girl swag. Glad to see in the far future we’ve finally ended gender. Etc etc.
Tumblr media
The ruinous legends are super, super cool designs. All of them are some of the TOP creature designs I’ve seen in ages tbh. I haven’t gotten in game to unlocking them or looked if they have lore (I hope there’s a lot of lore, mysterious ruinous beads sealed by ominous swords and giant doors is sick but I want more). Each is based on a cursed object that is so full of a negative emotion it has become tied to a pokemon and sealed away. GREAT STUFF.
Anyways, love this totemic beast and the big ancient cracked blood sacrifice bowl on their head. And yes, it’s totally a blood sacrifice pokemon: it’s linked to fear, as the bowl was said to have been used in ancient rituals and evoked such strong fear it became a horrible creature.
Tumblr media
This guy minus the sword would fit in pretty well as a regular pokemon, admittedly. I find her colours really pleasing. The sword adds a bit more of that ‘legendary’ flair but does look a bit awkward impaled like that. But no, I really enjoy him.
Tumblr media
OMG OMG OMG! AAA!!!! LOOK!!!!!
I am not a slug person (I am actually terrified of slugs irl) but. I loveeee this design. It’s clever (look at the both eyestalks and the false lead face) and extremely themeatic, with a great colour pallette. This thing screams spooky nature spirit in every way.
Tumblr media
Though my least fav I felt I should throw in all four special legends. Plus, nothing about them is bad. I find the eyes rather awkward but they do invoke a bulged eyed goldfish. All four legends are based on cursed objects, so this feels like an okay way to add the beads to the fish... but not my fav. I do enjoy tho his patterns on his body. They’re just very stylish.
Tumblr media
The box legends... are okay in their battle forms. I didn’t expect to really like them, but the writing is good and I really loved my robot motorcycle dragon by the end.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they’re far more appealing and charming to me in their ‘low power’ mode, which is what they are for most of the game. It’s nice to go ‘oho! badass battle time!’ but, meh. The more animal funky little guy form who loves sandwiches is better.
Tumblr media
She’s a bit funny looking but really nice. She’s a cute little... something. I again am fine with human shaped pokemon when they’re still monsters, not people, not overly sexy people. Her middle stage is really cute to me as a sort of little knight, and then her last stage gives her adorable hair and a giant hammer. Classic design trope, but I love it! She’s cute and small but extremely strong and fun. I enjoy that her pokedex entry tells us she’s a BANDIT, not a blacksmith-knight.
Tumblr media
The version exclusive branching knight evolve really feels like it should have been in sword shield, huh? But even tho it’s not normally the type I like... I am not immune to cool cursed knight with violet flames. he’s edgy and cool and fun, and I think perfectly balances between simplicity and very detailed-  his design doesn’t look cluttered to me at all despite how complex it is!
Tumblr media
hehe toadscool
I was so psyched to see him on my radar and go ‘is that a fckin tentacool with two silly legs’ and it was. These guys really as just fun to watch move. Toescruel hops! I’m not sure there’s much that exciting about them, but that’s okay. They’re simply and funny
Tumblr media Tumblr media
god..... he’s perfect.................................................................
honestly, I was never a wooper fan and I’m still not, but this one is 100%  better than quaqsire. he’s better than most things.
----
sorry i wound up talking about like all of them. I really like most of them, even the ones I skipped

Saiki K character fursonas (a non-authoritive spreadsheet of ideas)
Kaidou - Scene dog. Well, technically fox. With wings. One is an angle one is a devil wing. Bipedal. Over 6ft tall. Eyes change colour depending on mood. Energy blasts. Alarming amount of muscles. Can transform. Is a ninja who’s better than Boruto. Lots of bandages, zippers, belts, studs, etc.
Kuboyasu - Thinks werewolves are cool? (misunderstands the concept)
Nendo - Despite suggestions of gorilla he decided he’s a Dragonite (also misunderstood the concept a little but still managed to hit the nail on the head) in a Hawaiian tee shirt with a mohawk who is a ramen cook. (the fan community that springs up around the concept art would be large and slightly terrifying)
Yumehara - After looking at Kaidou’s, a sparkle dog (but originally was thinking a bunny in frilly pink clothes that would be genuinely very cute and fluffy) who manages to come off like a Mary Sue somehow even though that term is so outre like it’s almost alarming how generi-
Teruhashi - Herself but with, like, cat ears or something (you can’t beat perfection)
Mera - Eating (panda. forever malnourished despite eating constantly but can also kill you)
Saiko - Says he doesn’t know or care to know about such pleb things, he’s not interested in having this conversation but if you must know he’s a dragon of platinum and gold and gems and abs (with a harem of OCs who bear a disturbing resemblance to certain classmates and yes he’s stiffed artists after commissioning them. This is especially heinous because the design is so self-aggrandizing it’s honestly kinda nauseating? Which he makes sure the artist knows because he will come back with ten thousand ‘corrections’ if allowed that amount to ‘make me look cooler’.)
Hairo - A dragon, but better than Saiko, w/clear lion inspirations also. like. If Hairo can’t breathe fire without being a dragon I’ll eat
Takahashi - idk, asparagus?
Toritsuka - Tanuki. He’s a tanuki. There’s really no other option but for him to be a tanuki.
Akechi - I wanna say a fennec fox - big ears, big eyes, sandy complexion, carnivore, also can eat the bugs his bestie is afraid of and endear himself to saiki further, but this one talks a LOT. Maybe also part bat. Somehow vaguely demonic.
Aiura - Leopard or a kitsune oh or a dolphin would be totes rad no wait its gotta be smthn hella sparkles oh how about a mermaid or- (can’t make up her mind)
Saiki - A cat. Just. Just a regular 4-legged, 4 on the floor, normal-looking cat. nothing unusual about it. totally average. It’s not weird. (Didn’t misunderstand the concept, just didn’t want to participate. Don’t worry, the psykickers get together and design a more appropriate one for him. Saiki is horrified by it. It’s too flashy by half!)

HOT TAKES ON THE NEWLY LEAKED SV POKÉDEX
I didn’t mean to see the leaks but I’m wayyy too curious oops. I’m trying to judge these evenly because the pictures we have of the unannounced Pokémon are low quality but I will review this when the game releases!
This post obviously contains spoilers so be warned!!!!
Overall I think the starters are pretty cool! Meowscarada owns my heart and soul I love it’s design soooo much. I never cared if it was bipedal or not and although I would’ve preferred a badass bipedal lynx I’m so happy with what we’ve got (ITS A MAGICIAN GUYS!!!! A MAGICAL CAT!!!). Quaquaval is also really cool, especially the colours omg. I just wish it was a pirate or sailor because as far as I’m aware we don’t really have a pirate inspired Pokémon (also we’ve had two skinny water types in two generations, huh). Skeledirge is probably the most disappointing. A lot of people were correct in predicting a skeletal ghost crocodile but the execution of the final design is just awkward?? I hope when I see it in game my opinion is changed because Fuecoco deserves the world.
The regional(?) birds look kinda boring (they actually look kinda like Tailow and Swellow) but I’m comparing them to how cool Corviknight looked so it’s a little unfair. Their names are super cool though
Nymble and Lokix are not my favourite regional bugs but I guess I just prefer cuter bug friends
Squawkabilly are interesting. When they were snuck into one of the trailers I hoped they’d evolve into a proper Elvis-like bird so I could name one Kass but nope it’s just got different colours which I guess is kinda cool?
Lechonk,,, what did they do to my boy,,,
We don’t need anymore spider Pokémon - sincerely, an arachnophobe
I’m sorry but what the hell is going on with Pawmi. It just stands up and gets taller as it evolves with barely any design changes??? Like come on what’s the point on having it evolve three times if it’s barely going to change.
Smoliv on the other hand was done justice. Dollive is SUPER cute and it’s final unnamed evo is fine but it’s kinda hard to tell what’s going on. If I wasn’t choosing Sprigatito I’d have one on my team
Haha they put Minecraft in Pokémon and it’s really fucking uncanny how much Naclistack looks like a Minecraft pig
DACHSBUN MY BELOVED!!! SHES SO CUTE I WANT I WANT I WANT!!! Maschiff and Mabosschiff are fine ig and Houndstone is also fine but goddamn that is one big ass chin, could be a lot cuter. Also why the hell do we have so many dogs (not complaining)
Flittle and Espartha look like Lady Gaga and I can’t decide if I like them or not . The colours are just weird
WE DID IT LADS!! WE HAVE A DOLPHIN POKÉMON!!! I won’t talk too much about Finizen’s evo because I can’t tell what it actually is but Finizen is 🥺
Gimmighoul is a Neil Cicirega lookin ass or something straight out of Invader Zim, same with it’s weird evo
So glad everyone was right in thinking the engine on Team Star’s big car was a Pokémon and honestly I think it’s design is really cool! We haven’t had a mechanical Pokémon like this since KlingKlang and it’s a big step up
Tadbulb 🥺 the name itself makes me love it. I’m really considering Bellibolt for my team and naming it Jello
Cetoddle is just a silly little friend d’aww (I still don’t really care for it’s evo though)
Tinkatink, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton literally look like those AI generated Fakemon but they’re kinda cute, especially Tinkaton with its big ass hammer?? Definitely considering for my team
Dondozo looks like a Water Temple boss from a Zelda game
We also finally get a dung beetle Pokémon and it evolves into a godlike scarab beetle which is just *chefs kiss*
That’s literally a bush?? What fucking designer at Gamefreak said “oh yeah let’s make a Grass/Ghost type and make it a literally patch of brambles. Call it Bramblin.”
“We finally get a Grass/Fire type” 😄
“It’s Scovillain” 🫤
THATS LITERALLY JUST A LAWN FLAMINGO???? COME ON GAMEFREAK I WANTED A COOL FLAMINGO FLAMENCO DANCER FOR THIS REGION
I have no clue what Glimmet and it’s evo are meant to be but cool colours
I will hold Charcadet gently in my hands for he is my son
I remember someone saying that they thought the mouse Pokémon snuck into the trailer were placeholders for a model that wasn’t complete yet but nope. It’s just a cluster of mice. They’re still kinda cute though
Shroodle??? SHROODLE??????? WHAT IS HE???? A SCRUNKLE??????
Why is Wugtrio pink? Dudes looking even more phallic than he already did
Everyone gangsta until the Tentacool starts walking. Toedscool and Toedscruel are low-key kinda cool tho
Orthworm is a big ass fucking worm and I can respect that
I’m assuming that Bombirdier is one of those baby delivering cranes but instead of delivering babies it drops bombs??? That’s kinda cool. It’s like that one white angry bird
What even is Veluza I don’t even know
Sushi Pokémon?? Aw hell yeah (I don’t like sushi)
I’m gonna assume that the Arbolovia line is our psuedo line and yeah I can vibe with that. Ice/Dragon is a sick type combo and Baxcalibur looks awesome. Another consideration for my team
I’m also going to assume that Anihilape is some sort of Primeape evo? Or alternate evo? He looks feral and I love it
I want to hold Clodsire like a burger 😭
They finally did it. They gave Dunsparce an evolution. And it fucking sucks
Bisharp is honestly one of the coolest gen 5 Pokémon and I’m so happy it gets a new evolution!! Dude looks badass
I’ll stop there since the rest of the Pokemon either have already been revealed, are alternate forms or unnamed and besides I’ve been through loads already so I can’t be bothered
Overall opinion: yeah this Gen isn’t great. I wasn’t wowed by all the designs like how I was when SWSH came out. My favourites are Meowscarada, Quaquaval, Dachsbun, Dolliv and Baxcalibur and that’s pretty much it for the new Pokémon shown in the leaks. Gamefreak missed out on a lot of cool design opportunities and instead chose the lazier route (and I’m usually not one of those Pokémon fans that scream at Gamefreak for cutting corners but I will admit it’s kinda shit)
Well done if you read this far lmao

So I'm vividly reminded of the "What if there was a character who wanted to be [faction] but was barred from joining [faction]" post, and tfp au Tarn is somewhat close to being this.
They wouldn't have let him join the Decepticons if he hadn't pleaded and begged enough. And, nobody will ever admit it, even the commanders are scared of him. Tarn has just been so loyal (well loyal up until this point) that they were willing to overlook the immense security risk his Voice was and the rancid vibes. In the TFP au, he came to the Decepticons preinstalled with the DJD, but in this au the DJD had existed before Tarn has, and they kinda just found him in the space woods like a coyote mistaken for a dog.
TFP au Tarn has a much different backstory and origin than what you'd expect. Damus was someone who originally was turned away from the Decepticons , whether it was for a lack of generalistic experience, bad luck, having failed some sort of entrance test (i severely doubt they'd have like a written test, that's not what i mean, I'm thinking some sort of small quest), or hell the Bad Vibes™️ that Soundwave had received but could never put a digit. (Nobody could've guessed Tarn had been Damus, hell nobody knows until the Tarn and Fallen fiasko when he blurts it in a monologue.)
He did not take this rejection. I cannot tell you for sure when Damus became a more recognizable shape, what he had done before fully becoming Tarn, but I can tell you how he was found.
The DJD was a project proposed by Shockwave, one that Megatron has always disliked. It ultimately functioned similar to the Wreckers in the Autobots— do the dirty work that not even Megatron wants to do, and he'll turn a blind eye to their methods. One of the conditions he agreed upon was that they stay away from the frontlines, as they are pretty much the clean up crew for those who have become disillusioned to the Cause. Originally, the ship's crew was the leader Kaon, Tesarus, Helex, Vos, and Prion (their medic, who looks a little familiar...)
They found Damus on a small moon circling a dead planet that had never developed complex life. He was thought to be a mercenary, but no he denied this. The DJD decided that hey this guy who wants to be a Decepticon should be a Decepticon! And dragged him with them. This is when he took upon the name Tarn (the symbolic meaning here in the tfp au is unknown as of yet) There is a possibility that his Voice had influenced this without their knowledge, as exactly nobody had guessed that as a possibility. Though, the DJD soon learned during the brutal disposal of a rogue exactly what Tarn is capable with this "gift". (Remember, in the TFP au outliers do exist but exactly nobody has really discovered this fact. Sometimes mecha pop up with inexplicable abilities and it always freaks everyone else the hell out) At first, they were struck with that instinctive oh-frag feeling, but this faded with the delight of them having a new method in their already rather unconventional repertoire.
Things were... special the next time the Peaceful Tyranny crossed paths with the Nemesis. Megatron was very suspicious of this Tarn, (actually in a very similar way as he was in canon of Predaking once the mech revealed his bipedal mod). But, eventually, he okayed the new addition as he wasn't going to question the DJD's methods. He didn't want to think too hard about what they do, only that they completed the job out of sight. Megatron couldn't afford to lose any more sleep than he already is over this.
Did Megatron call the DJD down to Earth? No, Tarn had tracked Pharma's signal and was delighted to find out his Lord is also on this blue and green planet. If I remember my timelines correctly, they arrived in the smack dab middle of the spicy battlefield dance arc. Meaning, the commanders already had so goddamn much to deal with that they agreed "fuck it, let them do whatever they're here to do, let them take care of the traitors wandering about so we don't have to". The DJD was explicitly told to not interfere with the war efforts, the autobots, or the ongoings of the Nemesis. (Probably in much longer polite and formal words than my synopsis of it)
For a long time, Tarn was considered in a similar manner as he was in canon. A dangerous weapon, but a currently manageable and loyal weapon. Some would say Tarn's loyalty to the Cause and Megatron rivals Soundwave's, others dare to admit that there has to be a catch. That nobody is that loyal without some sort of catch. Especially if that someone enjoys working with the fragging DJD, which among most Decepticons is practically a myth because of how infrequently the Peaceful Tyranny is sighted.
The events of Delphi are very similar as in the au, upon one divergence— nobody finds them. Every autobot except Pharma eventually succumbs to the Red Rust (or the DJD, in Ambulon's case) and Pharma has to find his way off planet. Eventually, he makes his way to Earth.
The rest of the DJD, as we know, was entirely content with these orders and did their own horrific murder thing. Tarn, though? Oh we knew he ultimately basically ignored this and turned his efforts to win his Lord with his winning personality (a lie), pure loyalty (a lie), and charming good looks (kind of a lie but kinda not)— and to find out where that autobot jet had went.
He started seeing the messages from Megatronus Prime a mere fortnight since he arrived on Earth. The Fallen had a reverse sort of reaction to Tarn, at first only seeing him as an easy to manipulate means to an end. After all, once the Fallen got out and destroyed Earth, what would this pathetic sycophant matter? But, as they started interacting more the Fallen ended up letting more and more of his guard down to this mortal. Tarn will not end up betraying Megatronus Prime, even as the reverse happens. This demigod encouraged the wrong mech.
Tarn will not visually see Pharma until further into the truce, pretty damn close in time with when he learns about Silverlight. And well... I've talked about what comes next.

i'm probably going to unleash a long explanation rant by asking this, but I don't know a whole lot about mystery inc (i've watched a few things here and there but i was never 100% invested). you are telling me scooby has more family than scrappy??
oh dude you're definitely getting a long rant from this one lmao. none of this family is from mystery inc tho. i actually haven't seen that one either lol. this is from the scooby doo show, a pup named scooby doo, and scooby/scrappy stuff. there's a lot of family members, so i'll put em under the cut hjkjhj
Tumblr media
to start, we got Yankee Doodle Doo. he's a pilgrim ancestor. the leg next to him is Shaggy's ancestor
Tumblr media
next up is great grandpa doo. apparently a civil war hero. he was pissed his ancestor's were cowards, but chilled out when he saw how brave Scrappy is
Tumblr media
then grandpa doo from the same episode. kinda just like if Scooby was old
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you have Scooby's parents, Mumsy and Dada Doo, they've had a lot of various looks lmao. i'm partial to their a pup named scooby doo one personally. they love their kids
Tumblr media
there's horton doo, Scooby's uncle. his gimmick is loving scary stuff and being a mad scientist. he has a pet monster called Fluffy, and pronounced skeleton like "skreleton" i love him <33
Tumblr media
before we get to Scooby's siblings, i'll do his cousins. probably his most well known is Scooby Dum. his thing is being dumb and wanting to be a cop.
Tumblr media
Scooby Dee is a weird one since she's explicitly Scooby Doo and Scooby Dum's cousin, but is also a love interest??? it's super weird. she's a movie star. she also makes a little cameo in what's new scooby doo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whoopsy Doo's thing is that he's a clown. i also love him lol. he belongs to Shaggy's uncle, who's called Gaggy Rogers of all things
Tumblr media
Dooby Doo is a famous singer. he's also primarily bipedal. he calles Scooby "Scooby baby" the whole episode, and gives him a cheek kiss at the end. Scooby does not like that, ig that's one cousin he's not into lol
Tumblr media
Dixie Doo is another singer, and is a southern bell type. she has unsettlingly human proportions. i hate it sm
Tumblr media Tumblr media
finally to his siblings, we got Ruby Doo, Scrappy's mother. she only ever appears twice. once when Scrappy was born, and once in an a pup named scooby doo episode. she's like Daphne's Doo in that episode.
Tumblr media
Skippy Doo is a computer nerd and represents Velma
Tumblr media
Howdy Doo is obsessed w this one newspaper, and somehow that marked him as Freddie's Doo? like they bond over that ig
Tumblr media
then there's Yabba Doo. he does not appear in a pup named Scooby Doo, so he's probably their baby brother. he's a cowboy and has his own lil spinoff with Scrappy. him and Scooby never interact. at first i thought maybe he isn't Scooby's brother, but is his cousin. with Scrappy only calling him uncle yabba as like a generic thing to call an older male relative, but Scrappy calls Dooby Doo, uncle Dooby, so Yabba is def a sibling.
Tumblr media
finally of course is Scrappy, Scoob's nephew. i think he's unfairly hated, n i love him <33
but ye! that's Scooby's extended family! i'm always ready to talk about them lmao. my personal favs are Horton, Whoopsy, Ruby, and Scrappy. most of these guys only get one episode appearances and a few lines, which is a shame. i'd love to see em in more modern iterations ngl

Any of 2, 12 and 17 for hsr and... maybe 4 for splatoon? I know next to nothing about splatoon I'm kinda curious
2) KAFHIME. sorry to be insane about them but i will be. that one scene where kafka comes onto express and is like "long time no see astral express crew" and then himeko acts like a really really insanely bitter ex is so. hello. " we aren't about to get in bed with a stellaron hunter" miss himeko do you want to tell us something. also the fact that himeko essentially lied to the express crew about only hearing about her once? when she's in reality had multiple encounters with her? that and in the keeping up with star rail she keeps making these comments about kafka that are so.so ex coded.like she fully knows every one of kafkas tricks and plays.
12) i think i just saw a video about it one day on youtube and i was like huh! guess ill check this out! and then i fell into the pit.yeah.also the queerness of the characters lured me in too.
17) if kafka got dropped into a horror movie she would not give a shit. like at all.i think she'd find it funny considering she doesnt feel fear.she'd do the best out of anyone there
4) Its so.so good. i really love the touch of realism it adds to the game, with the ruins as seen in alterna + with the logs in alterna as well! love the fact that its not just " oh lol squids and octopi got bipedal forms" but its " this is a post-apocalyptic setting after a huge world nuclear war where only sea life remained and as a result prospered and grew as a species to become of higher intellect due to the absence of humans" and its really fun in terms of worldbuilding too because like. you have different cultural regions w/their own practices. the splatlands specifically is a combination of so many diff cultures. shiver is based off of kyoto culture/customs, big man is brazilian, and frye is indian. they're still on earth per say, just the worlds changed a lot.
