alright ya’ll we back!! under the cut is some info about hassan and his homecow buttercup.
hassan grew up in johto on a dairy farm. there were a lot of miltank and tauros and ponyta tbh
most of his time was spent workin on said farm and listen he didn’t really have a problem with it,,,,until he turned 14 and decided he must REBEL.
his parents were super against this whole rebel phase, like any parent would be. they were like listen child’o’mine you are gonna bottle this milk drink and be happy you go a roof over your head.
and he was like NAH ME AND BUTTERCUP ARE GONNA GO BE POKEMON TRAINERS
oh yeah he named his miltank buttercup. cause she was cute and he was young and so was she and he still likes the name tbh he’s like yeah if i could do it all over her name would still be buttercup fight me it’s a cute ass name.
anyway, because that’s a thing and all, his parents realized he was gonna do it whether they liked it or not. so they finally let him go, figuring it was better than him running away without any support.
so hassan left the farm and went to #traveltheworld. he has a pretty significant string of badges under his belt but he never really made it to the top rings, mostly because he’s not sure he wants to. he figured if he went there and lost, it would be like training for the olympics and then slippin on the dive board.
buttercup thinks they can win but buttercup also thinks she’s the baddest cow around so
anyway, travel he did!! he became this total “bad boy” and was wild and free and got all the tattoos and did all the drinking and partying put together a pretty badass team. but listen...that lifestyle has limits
pretty soon he was like this is...not what i thought it would be. he started to miss home. he missed his parents, and all the miltank and even that real grumpy old tauros that was always the worst. he missed the herdier and his house and he even kinda missed the work.
so...he went back home. it was a bit of a shock to his parents because they hadn’t seen him in a while and figured he wouldn’t be coming back to stay—they also weren’t expecting the tattoos and piercings but like, that’s alright they don’t care, it’s cool, hassan is back.
he decided to try to go to kanto u to major in agricultural sciences because he wants to expand the dairy farm and maybe even expand into other areas who knows!!
but he’s minoring in training because deep down he still wants to beat the elite 4 and all variants thereof.
hassan comes off as a jerk because he’s extremely blunt and for the most part will not cater to anyone’s sensitivity. if they have a problem with him then oh well, you can’t control everyone. part of this comes from him being so jaded, and so over everything he’s tired he’s like an old man who’s seen the world and just wants to sleep.
but he’s also a really stable guy. he’s not a good shoulder to cry on, but he’s good for advice and he’s good for secrets (he won’t tell if he agrees not to). he’s good for chill nights and hanging out. he’s really not much of a partier anymore, but he’ll go if someone asks him too
....mostly because buttercup wants to keep up her image smh
typical conversation: no buttercup you cant have a tattoo.
go ahead and throw your fit you still can’t have a tattoo.
ANYWAY COME PLOT ME WE CAN HAVE A BLAAAST.
