Swords, Pot Lids and Poké Balls

Pokémon Irl Faller Blog! Transfemme Link named "Lianka" from Tears of the Kingdom! Pelipper Mail and Un-Mail are ON!! Pelipper Malice and Magic Anons are off. OCs, canon characters, sentient Pokemon should interact as much as they want! Follows come from @hisuianhellion

[pokemonknight]

Ah... hi! My name is Lianka. I'm a "Faller" from a kingdom known as Hyrule, who I was a knight of. As of now, I am in Paldea, and have been tasked with finding out why I'm here, how I can handle moving forward with my life and how to handle the monsters here known as "Pokémon". I like cooking, traveling, camping and doing field research on flora, fauna and ancient civilizations, something a very close friend of mine helped introduce me to. I'm here with the Purah Pad lent to me, which has allowed me to connect to this... "internet", so I wouldn't turn down advice or recipes for food!

<Zrrt! And I'm her Rotom, Tatl! I'm BASICALLY the whole reason she's able to function on Rotomblr right now, so you can all begin by thanking me profusely and emphatically. That's alright. I can wait.>

My current Pokemon are:

Twilight - Male Riolu. My starter. Very eager and curious. Poe - Male Gastly. Friend who approached me. Bashful and kind.

Pelipper Mail: On! NOT Malice, though. Magic Anons: On~! Not tellin' anyone, find out yerself~ Sentient Pokemon: Very much allowed

OOC Under the Cut:

So hey! Rosemun here. This is a sideblog for @hisuianhellion, but is completely unrelated plot-wise to it. As it stands, this is a Faller blog of a POST-GAME Tears of the Kingdom Link, but she is TRANSFEMME and has gone with Lianka as her name. She has landed in Paldea, and will be following the plot Pokemon Scarlet and Violet closely once she is established! In-character posts will be noted as #swordswoman says stuff while story drabbles will be noted as #swordswoman does stuff!

This is a low-to-mid stakes blog. She did not come from a failed timeline, she did not lose her life to end up here, none of that grimdark stuff. She might express some dark thoughts, but... wouldn't you if you survived THREE comings of a calamity?

new pfp just dropped :3

[pokemonknight]

Favorite shape?

-@shapeanon

That is... difficult to choose. Hmm. I'm...

... I'm partial to the appearance of hearts? For some reason, at least.

<I like rectangles! For reeeaaaasons. None of which have aaaanything to do with how phones and Lianka's Purah Pad are rectangles. Nope.>

[pokemonknight]

I do have to wonder why it's taking as long as it is to get my paperwork all sorted out. I suppose Paldea doesn't have a robust... "Faller" program, unlike a place like Unova, Sinnoh or Hoenn, apparently. They have this happen a bit more... commonly. From what I've happened.

Is the Pokemon League of this particular region run well? Genuine question.

<Nah. Runs like molasses. I just had one heck of a problem just getting outta their friggin' CARE, I've been fine for DAAAAAYS.>

Tatl!... are you sure or are you simply being arrogant?

<Some'a column A, some'a column B. Like it MATTERS all that much! I'm BACK, suckers!>

[pokemonknight]

Well, as it stands, I've gotten much better at coordinating both Twilight and Poe in battle. There's an outdoor area here at Uva-Naranja Academy that has allowed me to work with the physical education instructor. Her name is Dendra. Her and Nemona have tag-teamed teaching me more.

Nemona is... extremely excitable when battles become a concept. Poe is relatively alright with battling so long as they get time to rest afterwards, but Twilight reminds me quite a bit of a wolf I knew.

<She means he's basically ready to Throw Down At All Times, but is a complete angel otherwise.>

Something to that effect.

[eliteoftheskies]

gender?

hm. good question.

gender's at least boy-adjacent? close enough that he/him is fine, none of the other options fit any better.

(wait is this why revali was asking about my pronouns the other day)

[pokemonknight]

I would arguably be the reason why he was asking. I (and Marin as well) seem to be calling into question many other 'Links' and their gender expressions.

Not that I intend to speak with any of them. Seems to just be a case of my existence causing confusion.

Also, hello.

[eliteoftheskies]

hiiii lianka!

this is weird. but cool. but weird. but cool!

[pokemonknight]

I agree.

<Zrrt, hey bud. So long as you don't ask ANYTHING ABOUT HER PREVIOUS WORLD, you'll be fine! She's already broken Revali! Multiple times!>

Tatl. Rude.

<But true.>

pelipper mail!

a paper crane with the colors of the transgender flag. i join you in blue, pink, and white!

[~Link - @prayers-to-hyliarceus]

Hah! I admit, that wasn't something I expected. Congratulations on having that realization.

Will your name continue to be Link? What pronouns should I expect to use?

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

(Sorry— Link’s had a nightmare. I’m going to be filling in for them.)

Their pronouns are he/they now, but I don’t think they have any intention to change their name, or at least not that I’m aware of.

[pokemonknight]

Ah, that's fine. I wish them well, both in recovering from the poor sleep and in their future endeavors of self-expression!

🐱 for Link

Link, I've seen a version of you do a lot of cool shit. Like taming a bear. However, I've also seen you blow yourself up with your own bombs on accident.

@chaos-cousins

...mm. that sounds about right.

I will never let you live that down but also I hold an immense amount of concern for you.

don't worry about ittttt

[pokemonknight]

Oh, you too... Did you also experiment by attaching a Bomb flower to your shield and trying to surf on it?

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

hmmm... no, but

ah

hm

this is embarrassing

going to expose myself to people on the Internet

i did.... attach a bomb barrel to my weapon because i thought that was a good idea, somehow. look, i had just gotten off the sky island with this cool new arm. then i just... came across a bomb barrel, then a bokoblin, and swung. not my finest moment.

Your cool new what.

oh yeah. i forgot to mention that.

You had several months to mention it

i mean, my arm's back now, but you know how Rauru had those cool Zonai tech arms?

You have a lot of explaining to do, Link.

yes ma'am.

[pokemonknight]

... If it makes either of you feel better...

... I did the same exact thing, Link. It, ah. It wasn't pleasant.

[pokemonknight]

OH!!! I didn't even notice that, you're trans too???

[ID: A photo of a Snivy, facing sideways and holding up a small trans flag on a stick in one hand. His eyes are closed in a shy smile. End ID]

I'm trans, but in the other direction from you. Transitioned to presenting masc about... a couple years ago now? Also sorry if that pic came out a bit weird, I'm practicing 'em to build confidence.

~ Kyle (@bugs-and-grass)

I am, yes. Zelda was who helped me come to terms with myself, and it was followed soon after by... well. Trying to see what worked.

... also I distinctly remember you, um. Not being a pudgy snake?

This is a development.

[miphas-lifedew]

@pokemonknight

... What is that flag symbol you used in responsing to Zelda? It isn't the Hyrule standard.

... Pardon? What's wrong Lianka?

[pokemonknight]

Mipha? Hmm.

... Perhaps it may behoove you to read back a bit through your own blog.

[miphas-lifedew]

... Of course Purah's hacking follows us here. She had a system set up to track signal should we be separated. I never really understood how... It always seemed... Faulty.

[pokemonknight]

I would say so. It put both of your partners into the most dangerous locale in Paldea. The kind you would need explicit permission to enter from multiple sources.

I know little and less about it other than "it's off limits" and "is in a giant crater there is next to no safe way to climb up and descend into".

[miphas-lifedew]

... At least my dreams lead me the right direction.

[pokemonknight]

Though. Um. If I... can actually get an answer to, ah. The question I asked? Marin used this... flag symbol. Blue, pink and white. I don't know how to use those, and I don't know what it represents. It was in response to another Zelda asking why another Link hadn't taken up the Master Sword.

What kingdom or country does that represent?

[miphas-lifedew]

Oh... Um, okay, so it's quite common for some communities to make a flag to represent them. This flag, "🏳️‍⚧️", represents people who identify as a different gender to what they were assigned at birth.

[pokemonknight]

Oh.

... Oh.

Marin is like me...?

Oh hey the three lesbeans get to be in lesbians with each other again, neat!

Three? It's only the two of us here, unless...

...!

MIPHA!

[pokemonknight]

You are currently using her blog, actually. At least, from our perspectives.

That may mean you can reunite. Try and find where she is. If phones are anything like the Purah Pad, you should be able to find the signal it emits.

[miphas-lifedew]

We've been lacking signal for a while, actually. This is the first contact we've had since arriving here...

No map

And we're only just now seeing that we're in a place called Area Zero. No other map functions are working.

[pokemonknight]

Oh.

Oh dear.

That isn't ideal. That location is heavily regulated to be closed to the general public.
