I just finished the Starfall Street arc and holy FUCK I did not expect it to hit so hard. I actually ended up completing that one last out of the three but I enjoyed it so much. I thought it would just be a silly side story about bringing down delinquent school gangs but NO there’s so much more…there’s So much more to it than that
The fact that they address bullying in the Pokemon universe…I don’t know if statistically bullying in Japan is worse than it is here in the US but I definitely know kids are Mean. And sometimes the education system turns a blind eye to that. And people get hurt because of it. And this story arc is such a prime example of how one frustrated kid who’s been bullied to the point of no return decided to take things into their own hands. You walk into this expecting all of the Team Star bosses to just not like school or are rebelling against the system but no the further you dig into what’s going on you find out ALL of them were victims of bullying. And they just wanted it to stop, and they wanted to protect other kids who were getting bullied too. So they all got together and decided on a plan to eradicate bullying at Uva/Naranja Academy themselves because none of the adults would listen. And despite the fact that the person who brought them all together left them behind in order to face the punishment of doing so on their own…they STILL waited for their big boss to return. For a YEAR AND A HALF. They held out for that long because what else could they do? Abandon the person that helped them so much? And it’s so fucking sad that these kids, these literal CHILDREN had to be punished like this for over a year, when they were only trying to stop the bullying and continue on with their school lives and be normal kids.
But it’s so good, it’s SO good that Clavell got involved. Bc it may have started out as a “Hello fellow kids” meme but it turns out he just wants to set the record straight and actually give these kids the recognition they deserve. And the APOLOGY they deserve, that they were treated this way by the education system. And you know he feels sick to his stomach about the sorts of things they went through, and he had no idea because by the time he took over the bullying had already come to an end, and only nasty rumors about Team Star were left. How do you make it up to those kids after all that?? He’s certainly trying and I appreciate that so much
Anyway I didn’t expect this to make me cry like a baby but it sure did. MAD props for this one Gamefreak that was some Good Writing right there

Clavell: Reconfigures your Pokedex using his phone and is actually good at programming.
Also Clavell before you battle him during Starfall Street: "I pulled it off using, er... you know, one of those... high-tech gizmos! Oh yes, it was very clever!"
I love this old man xD

Pokemon Scar/Vio Big 3 Explained
Nemona: just wants to fight and help you grow stronger so she can have all-out, fair fights with you
Arven: wants to find the Herba Mystica to heal his partner Pokemon, doesn't want you caught up in his parent's bs (but tags along to make sure you're ok)
Penny: Commits wire fraud to pay you in exchange for crushing her friends and the gang they made together

⭐️starfall street⭐️ really is just about the education system failing neurodivergent kids to the point where they feel the need to forcibly deviate from it in a cry for help that is inevitably misconstrued as a threat to the status quo and only further ostracizes them, huh

Starfall Street, as the more prominent emotional hook and narrative of the game, is really amazing. The way they tackled the issue of bullying and a found family of outcasts grips my heart so much and it really resonated with me. It might actually be one of my favorite plots ever in the mainline Pokémon games.

Violet updates:
- Dendra and Miriam are IN LOVE, you can’t tell me otherwise
- Dendra is also bffsies with Tulip, further cementing my thought that she and Miriam are together. Tulip = beautiful cute girl, Miriam = beautiful cute girl… Dendra has my type and taste in girls
- Had to fight Tulip twice because I wasn’t healed properly the first time lmao
- Glaseado Gym’s leader needs some serious therapy for that deep seated PTSD they have 🥺 And they need a lot of hugs.
- Ryme was SO COOL!!! I love her and Tyme!!!!
- Had to fight Ortega twice too, this time because I challenged him the first time around while being too underleveled. He’s sweet, if bratty.
- I also finished and passed every class through to their finals!!! And once I do the rest of Starfall Street, I want to finish the Pokémon League before doing the Path of Legends finale with Arven.

Here are screenshots of me with the Team Star bosses after getting their badges.
I think Team Star might be my favorite 'villain' team, even though they're not actually villains. The Bosses have cool designs, and their backstories and personalities are awesome. And battling them is a fun challenge.
I really love their outfits.

Fashionista! Atticus x Reader Headcanons
Tumblr media
I use they/them pronouns for Atticus just because I think it fits
This person needs more LOVE 💗
Notes: established relationship, prolly OoC.
-----
Half of your clothes are made by them, no exceptions
Skirts, pants, shirts, socks
Hell, they probably just. Hand you some of theirs to wear as gifts n steal em back if they need to
Gemnder? Whomst?
Will wear skirts and ask you what to pair with them
Also, for formal events?
Totally rock the blouse/slacks combo
If you're like me and dye your hair.. let them do it for you at least once. Please.
They might just dye it to match their hood lmao
Tailors any clothes you buy just to make sure they fit nicely!!
Won't even ask permission, just. Nana the clothes as soon as they see em
Will take requests from you, or create clothes based off things they've seen you eying
Won't let you buy clothes near the holidays or your birthday because of this
Emperor of matching outfits
Down to the goddamned socks
Likes to coordinate outfits when y'all go out
Even if they don't "match", they still go together
Think Kiki & Lala/Melody & Kuromi
Matching color palettes
Similar style
Or just matching accents/patterns
You probably have a replica of their Star Boss getup, just because
Watches Say Yes To The Dress just to get wedding fit ideas as a just-in-case
And if you do ever say yes WHOOH BOY
Custom tailored, themed, AND colored outfit, regardless of the style y'all go for!
It's gorgeous
Literally a physical symbol of his love for you

Too bad Pokemon SV was so overshadowed by performance issues that no one is talking about how fantastic the Starfall Street storyline is. And the Team Star bosses are infinitely cooler and more interesting than any of the gym leaders, or anyone else for that matter. Hasta Lavistar ☆

Sigh ... XD I think I may have bitten more than I could chew with those fic ideas I had earlier. The one where I wrote in 3 of them. Anyway, so I ended up writing one of them more in depth than the others, but still incomplete, but I wanna show what I have so here's a snippet of one of those ideas.
I hate to use this but English isn't my first language so there will be grammatical errors, but I did my best in writing them properly.
It's about Clavell's PoV of the Starfall Street route, and also I played Violet so it's in this version.
I begin to doubt my own resolve…
The Treasure Hunt is approaching and yet no member of Team Star has spoken up about anything.
And the deadline is fast approaching.
I really am at a loss of what to do. I pace around my office thinking of how to communicate with Team Star. It is one thing to be rebellious and break the rules. But this… this is beyond simple youthful rebellion. It's been more than a year since a few students have set foot to the school let alone a classroom. This ultimatum would surely try to cease this persistent truancy.
And yet ..
And yet… I have only been met with stubbornness and no response.
There must be a reason. There has to be. Why would Team Star and it's members blatantly break these many rules without any consideration to its consequences. It's maddening… 
Or perhaps… I am looking at this from the wrong angle. It is not why they break these rules, rather they have to… but then…
I sigh as I collapse on my chair. 
If there is a way, a way for me to communicate to the Team, maybe I could see their reasoning, understand their mindset…
See this whole situation through their eyes….
Maybe I could prevent any at all from being expelled.
I felt an embarrassing rumble in my stomach. I check my watch to see that it is lunch time. I seem to have lost track of time trying to think of anything that could help me and these students.
Perhaps a good lunch and a cup of coffee from the cafeteria could help me clear my head.
I want to know and understand their reasoning behind all of this. No one would just blatantly ignore this ultimatum. Otherwise, it would have been simpler for them to just drop out. 
But I shouldn't think that way.
I just …
I just don't want to expel any of them…
They don't deserve any of this… 
"Oh! Hello Mr. Director sir!" My attention was caught by a student who was taken by surprise. "I'm really sorry for getting in your way, sir…" 
"Oh no, don't worry you're not, I was just in deep thought and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I must apologize."
The student looked at me with a face etched with shock and disbelief. I was simply apologizing for a silly mistake I made. Why would he look shocked that I have said that?
"O-okay then sir…" the student managed to utter, "Then I'll just head on to class then, thank you sir."
Even a thank you.
For what?
The student took off down the hall.
It was nothing more than a silly mistake that I had made. After all, I should have been playing close attention to where I was going….
….
I see…
If I was a student, like them…
I wouldn't have been faced with that disbelief expression.
If I was like any other student in this academy, especially with that young one, then that interaction wouldn't have happened.
But I am not a student.
I'm Director Clavell, the esteemed Director of this prestigious Uva Academy.
I'm the director.
And yet this is another silly mistake I have committed.
No wonder that student looked so nervous and anxious around me.
I look to see a group of students from what I can guess gossiping around the hallway. Then they turn to my directon and their conversation went to a halt.
I simply waved and said hello and went on my way.
The further I walk away from them, the more I began to hear them talking again.
How could I have been so blind?
If I simply approached Team Star as Director Clavell, I would be faced with nothing but stubbornness and silence. There would be no change.
If i were a student, maybe it would improve my chances and could proper answers I seek.
But I can't just….
I immediately noticed Master Arven running past me at a quick speed. I was in deep thought to once again not realize he was coming, but I reacted quickly enough to avoid him just barely. I wanted to tell him to stop running down the halls but it was too late as the teenager had dashed further from earshot. 
I shook my head. I am surprised that he even came to school today.  I’ve been worried about Master Arven ever since his father, Professor Turo, has fallen off the radar so to speak. I do worry about Turo as well. Maybe I should send him an email…
“This is Juliana, correct?”
“Yeah? Who are you?”
I stopped just at the Cafeteria doors. I hear someone from a phone speaking to Miss Juliana, the new transfer student that just enrolled. 
“I hacked your smartphone so I could talk to you. Hope you don't mind.” The voice from the phone sounded like a young girl. But did she just say–
“Wait a minute, What do you mean hacked?!” Miss Juliana sounded angry.
“My name’s Cassiopeia.” the girl from the phone introduced herself. Is she a student? It feels wrong to listen in to this conversation, but I couldn’t help myself but to listen in.
“But never mind that–it’s you I want to talk about. I hear you're a trainer with serious potential.”
It is true, Miss Juliana has only been here for a day or so and the whole school has already been talking about her. Especially after she had beaten two members from Team Star earlier.
“If that description is accurate, there’s something I'd like to ask of you. Tell me, Juliana… You know about Team Star right?”
… Wait a minute. Is this about Team Star?
“Yeah I know of them…” I hear Miss Juliana hesitantly reply to her.
“Great. I appreciate you being up-front here.” I could hear that this Cassiopeia person felt relieved. “Team Star is a group of troublemakers formed by some academy students a while back… They cause headaches for the school and try to bring other students down to their level.”
Is this true? If so, have I really gone blind and deaf to the problems the school is facing? Was I so oblivious about all of this? In that case, what have I been doing this whole time?!
“And I refuse to sit idly by and let them get away with it!” It seems Miss Cassiopeia is determined to take down Team Star. How noble of her. But somehow I doubt this whole speech is her only reason.
“So I’ve come up with a plan to bring down Team Star and force them to disband for good.” A plan? The Academy and the School Board have tried everything at their disposal to try to disband Team Star and yet this girl has a plan to do so? 
“I call it… Operation Starfall!” She sounds confident about it too. But how? And why?
“But I’ll need allies to carry out this operation… and I’d like you to be one of them.” Of course, Miss Juliana has already made a name for herself despite being her first day at school. Defeating those Team Star members surely must have helped in this as well.
“Really?” Miss Juliana sounded surprised. I wonder if she is unaware of the cause of her recruitment by Miss Cassiopeia. “Well… those grunts earlier were an annoying pain, honestly trying to convince that shy eevee backpack girl to join them even if she said no. So sure, I’ll help ya.”
I am not sure if Miss Juliana is naive or determined. But she did sound eager to help the girl who hacked her smartphone…
“No need to reply right this second. We can discuss the details some other time.”
I wonder…
“Till then, I’ll leave you to it. Bye.” Miss Cassiopeia is quick to hang up.
I shouldn’t linger around here as it would get suspicious if Miss Juliana comes out of the Cafeteria and sees me.
So i opened the door and walked inside and feigned ignorance to ensure that she wouldn’t think I’ve eavesdropped on the conversation.
“Ah, Miss Juliana.” I greeted her as I walked into the room, “Please do try to keep your voice down if you're making calls within the school, won't you?"
"O-of course, sir!" She sounded flustered, "I'll be more careful, sir!"
I nodded, "You don't want anyone else overhearing any personal information, after all." I do worry about you Miss Juliana, especially of what you have gotten yourself into. 
"Honestly… there's so many things we need to be careful about in this day and age…" Not just the hacking but rather the Operation Starfall itself too… I don't want you to get into a lot of trouble and could even get expelled because of this…
"On you go then, young lady!" Please don't get into any more trouble…
I waved goodbye to her as I watched her leave the Cafeteria…
"Team Star, you say….?"
