[azurityarts]

go read PMD: Seekers of Soul by @teshamerkel right now

pmd fandom you've done it again

Seriously, this is one of the best fan-made works in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fandom. (A must-read if you're 2x weak to the Found Family trope too) It's so, so so so incredibly well-written, explores so many aspects of PMD, and genuinely captured the original feeling of playing the games for me. Please, check it out if you haven't!

An exercise for comic paneling and pacing for me! But I really just wanted to draw out at least part of a scene that got me when I read it from seekers of soul by @teshamerkel <:)

the excerpt i drew under the cut:

#pmd #pokemon mystery dungeon #pmd seekers of soul #my art #i planned to clean these up more but i kind of got distracted and lost motivation to keep going unfortunately😅 #Hopefully I did this part of the scene okay at least and.. I still had fun so... #Anyways everyone read seekers of soul by teshamerkel

Nia from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Seekers of Soul. I haven't yet caught up to the latest chapter - I'm only on 41st - so her aura staff is only my theory. But it would be cool

Seeker of soul is so funny bc everyone's in the guild like

Nia, painting a beautiful and sensitive portrait representing her inner human self: i had no idea (insert plant) has so many medicinal properties

Maggie, painting a photorealistic fern: They do! They can be used to numb and soothe and have been used since ancient Poke'mon history

Tobias trying so fucking hard to not call them homophobic slurs because Maggie told him he'd get extra Tobias Mush if he behaved for once in his fucking life:

The Shrinking Herb Pt. 2

*Again Warning* This is meant solely for the purpose of fun. These characters aren't mine, but Tesha's, who you should totally check out. Also, it's not canon. 😋

While searching for Xerneas, the duo were attacked by some Ariados. Though they fended the poisonous arachnids off, Tobias was poisoned in the process. Thankfully, Nia had some special herbs that she mixed together with some Oran Berries for this specific occasion.

Soooooo I’m not usually big on fanfics, but this one caught my eye and I’m completely invested 😅

This is Nia and Toby!

They’re from a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon fic called Seekers of Soul

By @teshamerkel

You can find the full story on her blog or on AO3 here at:

I ain’t gonna spoil anything, but

@teshamerkel is an amazing writer and artist that paints a vivid and beautiful picture anyway you look at it. If you’re looking for a small story to help you pass the time, and fanfics are your thing, I highly recommend you check it out =})

I know this is kind of a simple drawing, but I swear I’ll have a bit more free time in the coming weeks 😁 I hope y’all take care!

I did this a while ago and kinda sorta forgot to post it, but here’s some fanart for @teshamerkel​ ‘s fantastic PMD story Seekers of Souls! It’s an awesome read and the entire thing is super inspiring

Tobias totally just lost a bet and Junie is absolutely making the most of it

Do you have any creative influences? I'm always so impressed by your work— your prose especially— and I need to know if there's any creators out there I need to file away in the creative influence database in my head so I can write like you

This question took all day of me searching and thinking because I can't really say I know who or what's influenced me right off the top of my head. With notable exceptions that bookend this post. Anyway, here you go!

@.teshamerkel 's PMD Seekers of Soul was my TPiaG before I found TPiaG. It helped me through a part of my life that, looking back, was a lot harder than I thought it was. While it didn't move me to the point of starting to make my own art again, I certainly did consider it. And I consider Seekers of Soul to be a must-read for any PMD fanfic enthusiasts.

Tui T. Southerland's Wings of Fire series is the first thing I can remember thinking of fanfiction for. I never did write any of it, mostly because I never felt motivated enough (and partially because it was was all just oc x canon). But even with my misgivings of the series and how bungled the overall theme of arc 2 was with how they defeated the big bad, book 6 is still one of my favorite books of all time.

All of @.saltnpepperbunny 's work is really good, and definitely had an influence!

PMD Victory Fire holds a very special place in my heart for being excellent story, incredible artwork (that I think was done in MS paint), and being one of the first pmd things I consumed besides the games. Even if its on indefinite hiatus, I still consider it to be a must-read for even people outside of the PMD sphere. I would go into more detail, but I don't want to spoil anything!

I also consider Cucumber Quest to be a must-read. I dont have much to say besides that it's genuinely amazing and that you should read it the first chance you get.

Obligatory Avatar The Last Airbender mention. It's shocking to me how the worst that show got was just a mediocre episode in the first season. (The great divide) I genuinely think the entire series should be put in museums or something because it is an enormous accomplishment in the field of storytelling in general.

Scoob And Shag goes from a silly, foul-mouthed joke comic, to... not a joke comic. I would love to gush about it, but I fear that doing so would spoil it. Check it out. Even if its just for the (frankly absurd) glow up in the artistic style and quality. I normally advise going into things as blind as possible, but I would recommend checking the TV tropes page to know what kinda stuff you're in for once you reach around episode 20~30 and then seeing if it's something you would be interested in. It's very good, but definitely not for everyone.

... I thiiiiink that's it for people and content I can point to and know that they've influenced me off the top of my head. (Aside from one massive exception at the end of this post) The rest of this is just kinda a list of content and creators I really enjoy and highly recommend checking out at some point. Even If I can't really tell just how much of an effect it's had on me.

First, videogames!

Despite how much of my time I spend playing videogames, the only few I can point to are:

Celeste

Undertale

Undertale Yellow

Deltarune

Stardew Valley

and Hades. (I recommend Hades the most)

Despite how much I love the series, I haven't actually played any PMD games. (At least, in any official sense.) I am working towards getting them though!

Next, Youtubers:

• Atastic's animations are fantastic! I don't have much to say beyond that they are really good and fun.

• Bumbles McFumbles is a rare example of a person who is equally entertaining while talking about something he likes, as he is while talking about something he doesn't like. He's got an excellent sense of comedic flow and timing. He's part of the reason why my humor is the way it is.

• Doodley is an animator that makes videos on animation principles and is also just generally entertaining while also educational.

• Eltorro64rus makes all of his absurdist, extremely smooth animations in Gmod. Which is endlessly impressive if you know that Gmod is a game first, and an animation software like, 6th. The humor is very much an acquired taste though.

• FutureCanoe has such a funny, dry sense of comedy that it almost makes you forget that he's a cooking youtuber who somehow makes all of his food look like it was poisoned before, during and after cooking.

• GildedGuy is such a cool animator that he got his stickman OC in fortnite! And all his animations are gorgeous masterpieces, that too.

• Krugston is an animator that is constantly experimenting with his style. He went from a generic storytime animator to, in my opinion, one of the most unique and creative animators on the platform.

• Neytirix is an animated youtuber, but describing her videos really difficult because of just how unique they are. My best shot at it would probably be: "horror storytime animator and artist, with overarching plot between videos"

• Overly Sarcastic Productions has an entire, multi-hour long playlist of videos on different tropes. And within those is writing advice. While there are a couple of things that I remember disagreeing with, (even though I can't remember specifically what. probably just opinions on certain shows' quality) The general advise they give can be a big help. (They also do history lessons, and while I don't care for those as much, there is definitely appeal behind them)

• MajorLink doesn't have a large amount of videos, but he does have a fan animated series of The Legend Of Zelda. One with a total runtime reaching just over two hours at this point, with more on the way!

• ScottTheWoz is up there with Jerma as one of the most experimental, consistently funny, and creative e-celebs on their respective platforms. One of the few YouTubers that you would have to watch his videos in chronological order to understand all of the jokes. But even lacking context behind all of the injokes and references is fine because he writes jokes with the knowledge that someone might be watching it for the first time. 'Great Gaming Mysteries', followed by 'The Trial' would be my favorite youtube video of all time if they weren't separate.

• Wendigoon's videos are equal parts entertaining, and disturbing. They also are consistently over the 1 hour mark, so they also make for pretty good background noise material if you want to hear a guy talk for hours.

• Yahya Danboos has several videos showcasing his process of making an ambitious 3d hack-n-slash as a solo dev. It's pretty informative on the process of making a 3d game.

Next is TV shows!

This one is even shorter than videogames since the amount of time I spend searching for shows to watch, and watching youtube videos on said shows, outweighs the amount of time I spend actually watching the shows.

But I can fully recomend these shows though!

Centaurworld

Amphibia

Gravity Falls

Adventure Time

The Owl House

Next up, Webcomics!

All of the following are in no specific order. If I don't say anything, it's not because it's worse, but because saying "it's really dang good and you should check it out" for every entry can get exhausting.

@.cringywhitedragon and @.ghetsis both come up with really cool idea's that are partially responsible for the things I come up with.

@.efplanning Makes some cool art and is also cooking up a really cool universe that I'm excited to see.

@.obogaboo is making PMD: Taken Place and is also just a really good artist.

@.teeterarting Author of The Rouge Team and also makes really lovely art

@.aimer-arts 's art is adorable and wonderful and beautiful and I love it.

Same goes for @.quikyu

Same goes for @.sunsnak

Same goes for @.pichiicake

Same goes for @.pikabata

Same goes for @.chufflepop

Same goes for @.honeycrud

Same goes for @.honrupi-art

Same goes for @.cryptid-creations

Same goes for @.dailyralsei

Same goes for @.bugblast

@.zeropro Is the author of Jet's Black Nuzlocke, and also makes some great art on the side!

@.fwugradiation makes some cool music I think. He hasn't posted it a while though.

@.spicymochi makes cute art that I wanna buy stickers of in the future.

@.advosart 's riolu gives me life.

And now for the grand finale! The person who's my greatest creative influence:

It's @sincerely-sofie

You asked me for my biggest creative influences, but it seems to me, from what I think is implied in that ask you sent, didn't realize that I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for you. I doubt I ever would have gotten started even writing things if it weren't for the things that you make and your constant, uplifting encouragement.

While all of these other things I've outlined in this post did have an impact, and those ones at the start had more of an impact as i might not have thought of before, they all are barely quantifiable compared to just how much of an impact your own stuff has had on my creative expression. It's your stuff that got me to begin creatively expressing after all!

You say you like my Prose, but I actually think that it sounds closest to yours than anyone elses, if we assume that my own personality isnt a factor.

It's genuinely impossible to thank you enough for how much of a positive impact you've had on me.

:)

Hi, I'm new to your blog and is there any chance you could post that pokemon emerald fic you mentioned? Are your comics anywhere specific or just randomly on this blog? And could you please make a list of your fave (completed) pokemon fanfics? I'm having a hard time finding a lot of good pokemon fics but I'm hoping you might know some? And since you like Hoenn you might like Borne of Caution by VibeLordess (reposted to ao3 from ff with permission). It's not completed but there is a LOT to read and its very explorative with the meta. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Seekers of Soul by Level99Eevee is really good too.

hey, welcome! i will be posting that pokemon emerald fic... as soon as i have completed chapters to post! i'm hoping to have chapter 1 up by the end of the year but my beta reader's on vacation right now so editing turnaround has been a little slow. my ao3 is here and my fanfic blog is @new-eyes-extra-colors; i'll be posting completed chapters to both places.

i sometimes post fic snippets as i work over on that blog; here's the tag for the emerald fic. i also don't mind talking about the plot and characters and stuff, so if you're interested in learning more to see if it's going to be your kind of thing, feel free to direct any asks to that blog (or here, tbh i don't mind either way)!

as far as my comics go, if you mean comics related to my fic, i do not have a particular tag for them. searching by character is probably your best bet; here's protagonist may's tag in case you want to go through that. as far as unrelated comics i do have a comic tag here, and if you like pmd i run a pmd webcomic/askblog over on @askteamsupernova.

as far as fic recs go, i don't have too many recs for completed works because i don't read that much fic--but here's a link to my favorite author's page (there is a lot of completed work there) and here's a link to my favorite piece xe's written. it's actually my favorite fanfic of all time. other pokemon fic authors i enjoy are my friends DarkObscurities and slamdunkrai.

finally, thank you for the fic recs! i like explorative stuff so i will have to check that out. thank you very much for reaching out! <3

#thanks for the ask! #most of this stuff is also in my pinned post on this blog btw #so you don't have to go hunting for this post again if you need to navigate my blog #autumn.ask

Hey everyone!!

Since I've been a little more active on here recently, I figured it would be good to make a little introduction post so you all can get to know me better.

I'm Stingray/Ray, you can call me whichever you prefer. I'm a 20 year old college student from the US, and I'm studying to get a degree in biochemistry. I'm a huge nerd, and I'm a super big fan of pokemon/pmd/pretty much anything to do with the franchise. For the past few months I've been really into mystery dungeon and the amazing oc's, au's, stories, and comics people create for it. Some of my favorites are Woo's PMD: On Borrowed Time, teshamerkel's PMD: Seekers of Soul, and Sofie's PMD: The Present is a Gift, all of which I've linked if you want to read them (you should). I'm also a big fan of Ori, and I read/watch a lot of manga and anime.

For my other hobbies, I'm a competitive Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe player. I probably won't talk about that too much here, but I post about that stuff a lot more on my twitter if you're interested. I've linked it here, so feel free to follow me there if you want.

That's about all I have! If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask me. I hope we can be friends! :D
