What's Lukas's sexuality? In the Puppet AU or otherwise? (Weird question, I knoooow)

Good question ! I don’t mind answering these, don’t worry. So I asked @fedoraspooky, @subbydations, @starrysorry, and @lovelycoris about it, and we came out with something, for the Puppet AU. We see him as a demiromantic. As for his sexual orientation... Well, me being ace and aro doesn’t help because I can’t relate enough to think about it “seriously”. Like, I get the idea for other people but I can’t see myself in those situation, even if I really try. Plus I secretly ship Lukas and MJ in the Puppet AU, even though I won’t go in that direction with the fanfic, because I want it to stay “general” (plus some people probably won’t like that ship, which is totally respectable). It’s mostly because I LOVE the enemies to lovers trope. But, like I said, this ship won’t be in the fanfic because I don’t want to impose it on anybody. Also, seeing my older fanfics, I don’t know how to write romance, apparently, ahaha. Utter GARBAGE, let me tell you x) Anyway, back on the topic. I guess I imagine him as a bisexual demiromantic. Of course, take it with a grain of salt, because that’s my own headcanon. You can have your own ! As for canon!Snatcher... I headcanon him as an asexual demiromantic. I hope it answers your question !

Jelli’s problems with ORAS

@subbydations said: Which decisions?

Hohohohohohohooooo… *rubs hands together* where do I begin with ORAS?

Firstly, let’s get the obvious out of the way which is removing the Battle Frontier and just copypasting the extremely boring Battle Maison from X/Y, lacking in any sort of interesting challenges that gens 3 and 4 presented. 

GameFreak never patched it in either in spite of having the technology to do so now. Insult to injury is the fact that Anabel made it into Sun/Moon, which makes me theorize they planned designs for BF leaders but just didn’t put them in ORAS.

But that’s just one small thing, I mean, I could let it go if not for all of the other flaws ORAS presents (especially when put next to HG/SS or Emerald)

The Gym Leaders

When ORAS was announced, I figured “oh cool, the gym leaders might all get a buff by using mega evolutions”… and they did not. No, they all have their parties from the original Ruby and Sapphire, some of which, well, let’s face it, are pathetic compared to Emerald.

Wattson just has his Magnetson, no Manectric or Mega Manectric-- y’know, the signature Electric-type of Gen 3? Something that would have been cool and challenging?

Winona doesn’t have a Mega Altaria either, again, stuck with the mediocre party she had in the original R/S, no Tropius in sight. Giving her a Mega Altaria would have been a good challenge because people who come into the gym with electric types would have no idea how to deal with Dragon/Fairy.

And oh boy, how can we forget Tate and Liza? You would think ORAS would have changed something to make them a bit more challenging, but no. You just double battle their Solrock and Lunatone, probably wiping them before they get a chance.

Also, unlike in Emerald or HG/SS… you can’t even rematch the Gym leaders (except for Wallace in the Delta Episode). You just fight them once with their pathetically weak teams, then that’s it, no more from them ever again.

The Elite Four members got the better end of it mostly, but their initial teams are still weak. I also hate Steven’s rematch team. Why does he have Carbink and Aerodactyl? There are plenty of Steel-types, one of which is a fossil Pokémon! Carbink is weak to Steel anyway!

Wally’s party also made me sad. GameFreak didn’t like the idea of a boy trainer having a male Gardevoir I guess, so they forced a Gallade on him prior to getting National Dex or whatever. :\

Legendaries

While I already hated the roaming legendaries (seriously GameFreak, remove these), simply handing over Latios and Latias with their Mega Evolution and zero effort to obtain them was… pretty awful. It makes the entire game pathetically easy from there on out if you do speedrunning. I dunno about you, but I like getting my legendaries through a challenge.

Remember in gens 3, 4, and 5 when certain legendaries, when found, would give you a cool event? Well, ORAS just hands everything to you by flying around on Latios/Latias to certain areas, and you go to dimensional rips and rings created by Hoopa.

I have a feeling Hoopa was just made to create the excuse of randomly dropping Pokémon… I don’t know why they didn’t make a small, new area for each legendary available. FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald did that for Lugia, Ho-Oh, Mew, and Deoxys. Simply recycling assets from the already existing mystery lands from soaring would have worked just fine.

Of course, this is a minor nitpick compared to actual issues I have. I’m glad that Pokémon like Zekrom are in the game at all, but I wish a little more effort was put in.

The Audio

I don’t like the soundtrack ORAS introduced compared to the original gen 3 games. The Champion theme against Steven, in particular, feels neutered of its GBA trumpets.

Honestly, I would be fine with it-- if they programmed in the GB Sounds, an item that was available in HG/SS! Gee, imagine that, an item that lets you play classic sounds if you prefer some of the original, classic soundtracks!

“Jelli they can’t program in old music!” Is what you’re going to say, and I’m going to prove you wrong, because somehow GameFreak managed to copypaste the themes of Lugia, Ho-Oh, Giratina, etc into ORAS… from their original DS sound fonts.

Wanna know what’s even funnier about this? In ORAS, Ho-Oh and Lugia have their themes from HG/SS, but the legendary beasts all have their Pokémon Crystal theme as opposed to the separate ones given in HG/SS. Sure, it’s nostalgic, but it clashes horribly given the others themes being from DS games.

I think if they cropped out all that legendary music (and simply made one song for all of them), they could have fit the GB (or rather GBA) Sounds into ORAS.

“But Jelli, that sounds like it would be too much for the 3DS.”

Definitely not, but if it was, here’s my last point.

The Delta Episode

I hated this, lol. I was fine with the remake up until this point. This was a poor excuse of post-game, it’s basically one big, handheld cutscene where you go from place to place and put up with the most annoying character in the world; Zinnia. (who is an even more obnoxious jerk in the manga if one can believe that)

Honestly, they should have cut this entirely and allowed the players to find Mega Rayquaza on their own so they could use the remaining data to put in the Battle Frontier, GB Sounds, and Gym leader rematches. I don’t play Pokémon to watch a short movie with poor story-telling, sorry.

I know it sounds like I’m being harsh for the sake of shitting on GameFreak but… that’s not true. I’m saying this because I absolutely love Gen 3! It’s my favorite Pokémon generation next to 5 and Hoenn is probably my favorite region. I still go back to Pokémon Emerald sometimes (I recently transferred my shinies to SoulSilver) and just embrace everything.

ORAS… I have not gone back to. It made me feel empty from how unfinished this was. This game didn’t have the love put into it like HG/SS or FR/LG did, and as someone who did want Hoenn remakes, that makes me extremely depressed.

It makes me worry for the people who want Sinnoh remakes, they’re going to be stuck with the Gym leaders having terrible parties like in the original Diamond/Pearl rather than Platinum, with no post-game content.

Sorry if this was a long read and if people don’t agree, again, I’m just super passionate about Gen 3.

With tears still in his eyes, he reads over the contract, puzzled and still a bit frazzled, but the scent of bacon brings him back. Eventually...

He signs his name with no trouble and takes the bag of goodies.

The smallest smile graces the side of his mouth. "Thanks, kid..."

But something bugged him. This contract... it was a Snatcher's contract. This girl was that Snatcher's towelboy. And he felt bad since he knew firsthand what that meant. Eventually, he sighed, "Kiddo.. be careful."

Okay, I'd pay money to watch Bentley play the card game, that sounds amazing. But what I've got is the only possible justification for ever acknowledging TiT's ending; there's a character called Thief King Bakura. Who existed in Egypt 3,000 years ago. And wouldn't necessarily be out of place in the Sly Cooper series. The stars aligned for this one--

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have the same thought

TiT!Sly rocks up to Ancient Egypt to discover that a “king of thieves” is having an intense, magic-fueled uprising against a young game-loving Pharaoh and he’s just like “...............huh.”

I love the Puppet AU so MUCH.

@fedoraspooky, @subbydations​, @starrysorry​ and I were talking about the Puppet AU on Discord again and then this happened :

Of course, I HAD to draw that x)

More of our personal headcanons under the cut !

We had a lot of fun as you can see x)

#A Hat In Time #snatcher #moonjumper #MJ #vanessa #lukas #puppet au #my art

[erekiosuncreativeideas]

@fedoraspooky, @subbydations, @starrysorry, @saltyhotdog and I were trying to find more elements to the Puppet AU and well... We couldn’t decide if we preferred a soft and shy Moonjumper or a charismatic and catty Moonjumper. So... @fedoraspooky ​ came with the idea of having them both, as twins !

So, the shy and soft Moonjumper is called Mike. He takes care of making the puppets and is most found behind the stage.

The other one, however, is called MJ. It’s not his real name : he doesn’t like it, so he goes for MJ instead. He used to be the main villain actor, with the Moonjumper puppet, before being replaced by Lukas and the Snatcher puppet. He’s very charismatic, very prideful, and absolutely HATES Lukas at first.

(this design is mine, but feel free to imagine him the way you want to. He’s drinking coffee on his way to work. Also, you can’t see it well in the picture, but he has heterochromia: his right eye is blue and his left eye is red/brown)

BACKSTORY UNDER THE CUT :D

Here’s his backstory : he and Mike were raised in a wealthy family environment. MJ was forced by his parents in the acting career when he was a child. He had to act perfectly or else he was forced to play the scene over and over again until it was flawless. His childhood wasn’t very good despite being rich. He developed a prideful personality after having played many roles perfectly. Thus, when he was replaced by someone else for the AHIT show, by someone who had absolutely no acting experience compared to him... He took it very badly and instantly despised Lukas without even knowing him at first. He laughs at him a lot and finds a lot of mean things to say to or about him.

He wants to be the main attraction in things. He likes to be admired, hates to be wrong, and hates even more to be out of the spotlight. It’ll be so hard for him to have been replaced that, as time passes, Lukas and he are going to have a “prank wars”. MJ is the one to start it, wanting to sabotage Lukas’s work, in order for him to be fired. Lukas obviously will retort with his own pranks and it continues for a while before the pranks become more and more dangerous, especially for Lukas’s sake.

Eventually, MJ will work on a plan to scare Lukas enough to make him leave. His plan is to make sandbags fall near the pit where Lukas is when playing Snatcher. However, things don’t go as planned and the sandbags fall on Lukas instead of the spot next to him. He is severely injured, between life and death, and is quickly taken to the hospital.

Witnesses were here to see MJ drop the bags on Lukas, so everyone knows what MJ did.

Of course, MJ didn’t want the pranks to go this far. Even if it was an “accident”, despite the original intent, everyone is really angry at him, while he has to face his own guilt. At this point in the story, no one knows if Lukas is going to die, if he’s going to be okay, or if he’s going to have after-effects because of the gravity of his injuries. MJ obviously feels terrible about what happened and about what his jealousy led him to do.

The studio wants to fire him and denounce him to the police, though Lukas’s life is more important at the moment, so they wait for him to wake up before taking a decision. In the meantime, MJ will anonymously use his own money to pay Lukas’s hospital bill.

When Lukas wakes up, however, the latter (while being livid because of what happened) manages to convince the studio not to denounce MJ. It is hard to do so, but because of Lukas’s condition, they all agree to follow his wish. MJ will then apologize to Lukas when they’re alone. It takes a while for Lukas to forgive him after what he tried to do, and for all the mockery in the first place. But, with a lot of time, and with MJ trying really hard to do things right after the Incident, they become “”friends””. Or, for Lukas’s point of view, neutral enough to talk without mocking each other or screaming in a five minute conversation. They still bicker though, even if it’s way less aggressive than before.

Contrary to Lukas who thinks of MJ neutrally, MJ eventually wants to be friends with Lukas.  However, it’s not easy being friend with someone you almost accidentally murdered. Plus, MJ never really had friends before and their whole relationship is awkward as hell.

MJ also tries to teach Lukas things, once they are neutral enough with each other, like using social medias such as Instagram (MJ has a lot of followers, while Lukas doesn’t even grasp the purpose of social medias in general). Also, MJ hates to see Lukas wear the same clothes for several days in a row and ends up buying new ones for him, while Lukas doesn’t really know how to react. He still accepts MJ’s gifts, thinking of them as MJ’s attempts to be forgiven. Actually, MJ doesn’t know how to act with someone you want to befriend and buys a lot of stuff because “you buy gifts to your friends right ??? That’s a totally normal thing to do isn’t it ???”

So yeah, very awkward relationship.

Oh yeah and after the Incident and Lukas’s partial forgiveness about it, MJ works in the backstage and occasionally helps Lukas work on his acting.

@fedoraspooky, @subbydations, @starrysorry, @saltyhotdog and I were talking about the AHIT puppet AU and... Well, I wanted to add my own part to it, even if they’re just quickly made doodles.

So, we were thinking about the fact that the Prince is just FUCKING TIRED of everyone’s bullshit. Like, between this job, his law studies, and everyone’s shenanigans, the Prince gets a little annoyed at times. Especially if he has to fix some stuff because of people accidentally breaking his equipments/tools/stage things.

I also wanted to draw my version of Moonjumper, which has quite a... Personality, to say the least x)

Sorry about the lack of posts lately, I’m not as productive right now, but it won’t last, don’t worry.

@subbydations was asking about Tabitha’s appearance in the Pokémon Special manga compared to the ORAS redesign-- this is basically the design I’m talking about.

I wish they used this one for ORAS instead, he looks wild, manly, sort of goofy-- something that would funnily clash with the rest of Team Magma being so professional. LGPE ended up taking inspiration from the PokéSpe manga anyway.

Actually, the ORAS design was so different that in the manga, they had to clarify that both Tabitha individuals (as well as Courtney) were entirely different people with the same name.

@subbydations said: Ah, different styles, but same hat-- (I'm stuck trying to get a dang Emolga)

You can get an Emolga from an in-game trade, but it’s unfortunately male so you can’t breed it for another until you get Ditto.

I know it can be found in shaking grass around Route 7 too.
