"Hey there! This is Pip, leader of Team Seablaze—" "And savior of the world, don't forget, Pip!" "You saved the world too, you goofball. Anyway, I'm here with my partner—" "And soulmate!" "Would you let me finish already? Yeesh! ...So, Chimchar's here too. Oh, and Grovyle! We're happy to answer any questions you may have!" (PMD Sky post-game AU blog!

Thank the lord of time that actually worked, hope you like it!

((IT’S SO FUCKING CUTE I’M CRYING THANK YOU SO MUCH))

How do I submit the fanart? It says I need to put in the images URL but I'm not sure how to do that with something that hasn't been posted anywhere, sorry I'm not very good with Tumblr

((I didn’t even know they made you do that amdklsmasd they used to just allow you to attach images directly;;

In that case you’ll probably have to upload it somewhere--I’m not sure if this will work but you can try uploading it as a draft to tumblr and just copy the image link that way! Or just post it privately to another site.))

[ask-explorersoftime]

To mod, is there a way to send fanart privately? I drew Pip but I'm not comftable posting my art publicly, sorry if this is a silly question

((That’s totally fine! You can just submit it here and I don’t have to post it, I’ll just hold onto it for safekeeping ^^))

Grovyle: Usually Pokemon are given the option to evolve—so I think I’ll choose to remain like this, at least for now.

Pip: Phew!

Chimchar: Can Pokemon evolve outside of the Luminous Spring, Grovyle? Do you know?

Grovyle: In very rare circumstances, yes. Desperate times call for desperate measures...

Pip: Whoa, wait. Are you saying you evolved outside of the spring?

Grovyle: Yes, actually. I did it to save you. 

Pip: !!! Wait, really?!

Grovyle: You were caught up in a dangerous situation, and at the time I was completely overpowered. I couldn’t do much in my base form, so I desperately forced an evolution so that I could be strong enough to protect you. 

Pip: Grovyle...!!

Grovyle: Wh—oh, come now! No need for waterworks. It turned out for the best, I think.

Pip: *Sniff* Yeah...🥺

Somebody sent me this ask a while back and I was suddenly struck with the inexplicable urge to draw it

[shima-draws]

Time Travel Princess and Resident Bastard at your service!

I had sooo much fun designing Celebi’s outfit, Dusknoir’s was an absolute nightmare even now I’m still not sure if I really like it or not but yeah I’m so glad I finally did these two I’ve been wanting to for ages :’D

[shima-draws]

Brand new sparkly PMD gijinka refs ✨ I changed a few things around for each of them, but it was mostly minor stuff! It’s so good to draw these kids again 💕

[ask-explorersoftime]

Grovyle: Yes...he may be a pain, but he is my best friend.

[ask-explorersoftime]

Pip: Evolving would be so cool, though...why is us evolving such a nightmare for you?

Grovyle: You’re fine as you are. I don’t see a reason for either of you to change.

Chimchar: Aww, Grovyle!

((MERRY CRIMMUS have some good ol Timegearshipping fluff for the holidays ❤️))

Hey mod, just curious, what's your opinion on Dusknoir?

((Dusknoir’s a little shit but I love him SO much. It’s weird how many people still dislike him after playing the Special Episode with him and Grovyle, because like. Idk I thought he redeemed himself pretty well, and honestly to me he’s always been a character driven to becoming an antagonist only as a means to survive, so when he’s given the chance to become a hero and really shine (as Grovyle so eloquently put it) he takes to it super well!! I think he’d thrive as a hero, but still be able to be his snarky, sarcastic self. Dusknoir’s an asshole, but he’s a lovable asshole, so I forgive him LMAO

Also I might have read a fic years ago that made me like him so much more as a character and that’s probably one of the big reasons too!))

Grovyle: I have to say, seeing the entire town decked out in decorations...it's really nice.

Chimchar: Tomorrow’s Christmas Eve, and that’s when the real party starts! It’s always tons of fun!

Grovyle: Last year, there was ice skating...

Chimchar: And the snack buffet!! I almost got sick on all the berries! 

Pip: Croagunk helps out with the gift exchange by bringing leftover items from his Swap Cauldron, too!

Chimchar: All in all, it’s a total blast. I’m excited!

[ask-explorersoftime]

Chimchar: *sniffs* They grow up so fast...

Pip: It’s weird that we practically had to raise him despite barely being adults ourselves...

Chimchar: Yeah, but he’s like. Our kid. He’s a good kid!!

Pip: It was a good learning experience for sure. And Manaphy is great!

[ask-explorersoftime]

Chimchar: The only people who would really have use for it is us, so. There wasn’t really any point in leaving it behind. Besides! It’s my very important treasure, and I’ve had it for years—I wasn’t about to just give it up like that!
