While he’s not doing scientific research or helping animals, John spends his time reading, doing art, hiking, and even a bit of embroidery. He likes to be creative and takes inspiration from the world around him and the stories of others

Very peaceful

The Majestic Lynx

Lynx have unusually large paws that spread out with each step. This allows them to walk on the snow’s surface – like snowshoes!

okay, here is John’s base team. Sylveon has been with him the longest, and the newest addition to the team is Musharna. And now a little bit about each of them!

Sylveon was John’s first pokemon, an Eevee, that was gifted to him for his 10th birthday. For the longest time, Sylveon was his only friend in childhood.

Kommo-o was found as a Jangmo-o after being injured severely by a predator, and is actually missing part of the large crest on its head as a result and has anxiety.

Mudsdale was a rescue from a neglectful trainer and is totally blind as a result from the neglect. Though that doesn’t stop them from being an absolute tank that loves to battle.

Zoroark came to John as a Zorua to get help for their sick mother. After John healed her, the Zorua continued to come around the sanctuary and eventually bonded closely with John.

Lapras was meant to be a rehabilitated pokemon after suffering a boating accident, but damage to their front flippers and shell has made it impossible to be safely released. They live happily at the sanctuary.

Musharna was born at the sanctuary and very early on took an interest in John’s medical work. They help calm and sedate pokemon that are receiving medical care.

He has other pokemon that come to do battles alongside him at times, but it’s their choice to join in. And while he doesn’t know it, a Celebi liked to skirt around the edge of the sanctuary, playing with the young pokemon

Gonna try and develop John’s pokemon au a little and give him a team to work with. Though honestly his pokemon “team” is constantly changing. He only owns two or three of the pokemon he works with, the others are free to come and go from his lab/sanctuary as they please

    “How could someone do such a thing...”

basil-ratigan-olivia​:

Olivia looks over at Basil for confirmation on the rats. But Basil ignores it. Perhaps they’re different when the Doctor is involved, but whenever Basil gets called into a case, they’re usually never on the good side of things. 

Basil blinks at the finger before reaching forward to take it and shake it, although he wasn’t stock straight anymore; it was clear he was still cautious. One never knew after all. 

“Sherlock Holmes?” He asked, frowning slightly as he thought about it. He paused. ‘I do believe that’s the human fellow I live under.” 

    “That’s fascinating. He and I work in conjunction at times. My apologies for not realizing he had such a prestigious neighbor sooner.” John said with honest sincerity. He liked Sherlock alright, they had similar eccentric personalities and appreciation for being apart from the humans of the world, but John would have been much more excited to meet a mouse detective. 

    “But I will say now it is a pleasure to meet you two.”

siilverbulleted​:

      the wolf had to think about the words, questions being asked. they were too  out of it, lost so much blood they were  delirious. that was a good way  to put it. they’re barely responding to the touch, and maybe if they were more back on this earth, bandit would mumble about how hydrogen peroxide would get the blood stains out. maybe there’d be another time. maybe bandit wouldn’t die.

     a soft laugh, blood trickling down the wolf’s chin. “s…s’bandit.”

    “It’s good to meet you, Bandit.” John said, tearing a piece of his coat apart to tie around the wound for now. They weren’t far from his office. They could make it. “Just hold on for me, Bandit. I’ll help you.”

    With a short pause, John lifted the young man into his arms, trying his best not to jostle him too much and cause more damage. He set off then for his office, hoping he could do something for this young man. Even if John can’t save him, he could make him more comfortable in the end.

unexpected hero prompts.

technically prompts inspired by the deus ex machina trope but !! basically these prompts are for scenarios in which muses are in a situation where they're under attack and an unexpected hero arrives! i hope you enjoy them!

from the unexpected hero.

" get off of her/him/them! "

" oh... oh god... i really hope that was a bad guy... i don't think i'm okay with hurting a good guy. "

" are you alright?! was i too late? did they hurt you? "

" sorry i'm late... i would've been quicker had i known this was going on. "

" i bet you're glad i came along now, aren't you? "

" what was that you said earlier? about, what was it... being just fine on your own? "

" no man's an island, right? you need me to watch your back. this is proving that. "

" leave her/them/him alone! "

" let her/them/him go! "

" me following you isn't me being condescending. you could've died if i hadn't shown up when i did. "

" i know, i know. you had it under control. good thing i was here to ensure that. "

" i was... in the neighborhood? "

" you can't seriously be mad at me for helping you back there. "

" fine! next time you're about to get yourself killed, i won't show up at all! "

" hey, shh... it's okay. i'm here now. you're safe, they're gone. it's all over. "

" mornin', sleepyhead. if any of the nurses ask, i'm your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner. they wouldn't let me in otherwise, even when i said i saved your ass. "

" i just killed that person! but... they were gonna kill you. right? "

" look. the way i see it, you're not a bad person. they were a bad person. and it was either let them kill you, or kill them instead. so that's what i did. "

" i don't regret what i did. i mean... if that's what you're worried about, don't be. i'd do it again. without a doubt. "

to the unexpected hero.

" you... you saved me... "

" just in the nick of time! "

" holy shit... what took you so long?! "

" i... i gotta say, this is not what i was expecting. "

" i don't need your help, you know. "

" i mean, don't get me wrong, i appreciate being alive, but... i'm no damsel/dude/dear in distress. i don't need someone saving my ass all the time. "

" don't worry about me, worry about you! are you okay? because... you just killed a guy. and i know why and i am so grateful, but... you still killed someone. how are you feeling? "

" i've never been so happy to see you in my entire life! "

" ...thank you. "

" it's my fault. i... you just killed someone because of me. and that's gotta be weighing on you, and... and that's on me. and i'm so sorry, okay? really and truly, i am so so sorry... "

" ...am i in a hospital bed? "

" jesus! oh, oh god, okay, listen to me, you... that was a bad guy. yes, it was, a very bad person. you saved my life! and i need you to focus on that while we get out of here before anyone sees us. got it? "

" why did you save me? "

" no, wait! you just killed someone to save my life! i wanna know why! "
