Ask Team Serenity!

Hi, we're Team Serenity! We are a specialized team that helps pokemon find their lost items. We also hunt for secret treasure. Go ahead and ask us questions! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Mun: Raven

[askteamserenity]

(Here you all are! An animatic about the plot and themes of this blog! Including some special never-before-seen spoilers if you’re paying attention! If you have ANY questions or comments please feel free to shoot me an ask! I spent several days working on this and it was a blast to do. Hope this all was a nice reward for the hiatus! -Raven)

Blog Update

(Hey all, Raven here! This blog’s been on hiatus for a while. Because of everything going on this blog needed to take a back seat. I still really want to update and I think about it all the time! So this blog IS NOT DEAD! Just very quiet for now.) (Sending me asks while I’m on hiatus is encouraged!! That will help motivate me to come back to this to answer your questions. We’re still in the middle of an event right now with Vered and Beau, so ask them some questions!)

(Thank you for your patience. I’m spread a little thin! -Raven)

[askteamserenity]

Oh Arceus, is Shiloh okay?!

Vered: Woops! We were too dramatic again, weren’t we? Beau, quick, don’t we have a Chesto Berry in our pack?

Beau: That won’t work, the poor dear has fainted! We need a Reviver Seed!

Tulip: ...Give us a minute, it will be fine.

[askteamserenity]

Tulip’s guardians have come for a visit! 

Vered the Roserade and Beau the Bellossom are now available for asks!

[All posts will be non-digital until I can get my drawing pad back. Thank you for your understanding. -Raven]

Update

[Because of the Coronavirus I have been separated from my drawing pad until April, as I am not allowed to fly back to my university until then. This is very unfortunate as I was looking forward to finally getting back into the swing of things. However, I am going to continue on and re-make the comics I was going to do, but make them non-digitally! I don’t have the physical sketches of them anymore either but I still really want to make posts for you all. So keep an eye out for some pencil drawings from me! -Raven]

[askteamserenity]

[So sorry for the hiatus everyone. I have been incredibly swamped this semester as it’s my senior year of college. Two post sketches have been completed for the start of the “Guardian Visit” event, all I have to do is actually finish them. 

I think after this month I may have a little more time to get back into this blog but we’ll see! Just know that I am thinking about this blog constantly and that if I decide to stop it you will know. Thank you for your patience, I know this blog updates very sporadically! -Raven]

Plans have changed!

I have decided to scrap my previous plan. The small story I had in mind wouldn’t have worked out all that well in comic form (And the ending I had wasn’t all that satisfying). I’m going to instead post the WIP sketch I had made and move on from it. I kept getting stuck on how to move forward and it made me stall the entire thing. (ADHD problems amiright?)

I think it is best if I just clean off my mental slate and just request some asks, as my next semester is starting soon and it is going to be incredibly busy. See below for more information on what I had planned for the scrapped arc.

This was going to be the winter-themed “Mountain Arc.” Tulip and Shiloh go back to the mountain that Shiloh was found on for any clues. They had heard rumors of a Kecleon that frequents the area and set out in search for him. Eventually, after some questions regarding what they were doing was asked by followers, they would find him.

They would ask if the Kecleon either remembers seeing Shiloh before, or has heard about any odd occurrences. The Kecleon would think back and remember Pokemon mentioning something fall from the sky a while ago, right about the time when Tulip found Shiloh. However, besides from that, it would be an entirely dead end, and the two would move on. 

Not really all that satisfying of an ending right? I had been experimenting with the Kecleon’s design, and had a basic idea going, but it never got finalized. I may use him later for another purpose.

I’m thinking of instead, having Tulip’s guardians over for a visit, as I had been teasing the idea for literally years.

OOC Questions Time!

[I have been having some trouble starting the next comic page, as it will be the start of a very short arc, probably. Or at least I plan on it. But I still really feel like writing and talking about the blog and these characters. So, for a little while to tide everyone over I’d like to invite people to ask me some OOC questions! Especially all you new folks who have found me this year.]

[If you have any interest in me, in the blog’s universe, general questions about the meta of these characters, how I came up with certain things, or anything similar to that, then send me an ask about it! -Raven]

[askteamserenity]

Hey so idk what this is either but I did it instead of studying for an exam so here you go

Shiloh: (...Can’t sign much without fingers...But I’m usually understood anyways...)

(...Would you like half of my apple?)

Chester: (To Tulip) "What made you decide to become an exploration team member?"

Tulip: That’s the reason I started my work as an explorer that specializes in treasure and lost items. If I do enough research and get Team Serenity’s name out there, then it’s possible that we will someday find a clue as to where those ancient artifacts may be. These artifacts are the best connections we Pokemon have to the Legendaries, and it’s about time that we re-established that connection.

They don’t seem to understand.

Shiloh: (....Oh.)

[Gosh I’m so sorry I missed this earlier! Thank you very much for your answer!- Raven]

[askteamserenity]

Hiatus is (tentatively) over!

So sorry everyone for dropping off like that after the summer event. With the start of the new semester I had been feeling quite overwhelmed. But I’m ready to start working on asks again! Though it may be a little bit slow...

-Raven

As Tulip and Shiloh begin their trek back home, Tulip animatedly divulges who she had met at the beach.

“There was a wonderfully nice Gardevoir, though she had features that I’d never seen on a Gardevoir before. Oh, and speaking of different features, did you know that there are Snivys with yellow stripes? It was so interesting to meet another Snivy, I wonder if we’ll see him again. I hope we can meet that Meowstic again for a chat as well, she seemed lovely.”

She pauses.

“I wonder if Team Rainbowmist would be up for a joint mission? Since we are acquaintances, I wonder if we could get a small discount for hiring them...”

Tulip busies herself with counting numbers and muttering about “splitting rewards” and “more dangerous areas.”

Shiloh happily walks beside Tulip, arms full of freshly-toasted s’mores. They wonder about getting a coat like that Fraxure. Shiloh hadn’t really thought about wearing clothes before, but maybe they could find something to wear on occasion...

It would have to be something they couldn’t burn, which complicates things.

(Team Serenity has officially left the event! -Raven)

[teamrainbowmist]

Shiloh gently pulls Tulip toward Saffron, making a few gestures and breathing a small fire burst from their mouth. Tulip nods during this and looks up to the Blaziken. "Shiloh here is wondering if you've accidentally burned things before with your fire." Shiloh then taps their head and mouth. Tulip then continues, "Oh! And if you have any advice about it!"

“Heh, yeah, I’ve definitely accidentally burned stuff, especially when I was younger… my moms were prepared though, since they were both fire types too.”

“My advice is to practice! A lot!! Learn to control the fire! Burn stuff on PURPOSE! And have fun, of course.”( @askteamserenity )

[probably-patchwork]

“Is there any place for me… E- even here…?”

Pacii has arrived on the last week of the event, though she still feels like she doesn’t belong here. Though maybe someone can help cheer her up? (Yes you’re allowed to throw your characters at Pacii)

Asks?

Hello to all those participating in the event!

I’m getting involved with other project stuff irl, but I want to do one last round of asks before the event ends! If you’d like to send me some asks I’ll gladly answer with written responses! And don’t hesitate to request for asks, because I will send some too! 

I think right now Shiloh and Tulip are just moseying around together with various fun foods in-hand, so feel free to send asks or request asks!

I’m a bit too busy to draw responses, but I will do nice written ones. ^-^
