Really

One of the ideas that floats around my mind a lot with regard to Pokemon fics is the idea of Pocket MONSTERS, where regular old creatures exist and Pokemon are fantastical creatures that range to regular old creature + magical powers (eg Miltank, Diggersby, a lot of normal types would fit here) to mystical creature with which a skilled individual can form a contract (I’m sure you can think of a lot of Pokemon that fall under this category, but legendaries, pseudos, Pokemon who pull even deeper from myth and folklore…) and trainers are people who can form a contract with said creatures.

I think it would create a better tie between the Ranger and Trainer games, and the Trainer and Mystery Dungeon games (at least for me), and also it’s the way I’d like to approach Conquest fics. Also now that I think about it, this is a lot like some sort of synthesis of Umbra Witches in Bayonetta—Red is Bayonetta, his Pikachu is Madama Butterfly, and his Snorlax is Gomorrah… you get the point.

Anyway just wanted to talk about this before I post that Red-Green fic so that like… things make sense? They’re in the Pokemon world! It’s just different.

at some point it became a very common talking point that science fiction and fantasy ought to Represent Trans People and that exploring Weird Gender Shit without also depicting characters who are legibly transgender in Normal Ways is passé. and honestlyyyy i don't care give me a hundred more male characters possessed by female ghosts or nonbinary robots or whatever. literally what is the point of the scifi fantasy genre if you cannot connect to the fantastical

if i wanted to read about people being transgender without a wizard being involved i would open my tumblr dash. Representation will kill the reader she needs a guy who accidentally downloaded the memories of a woman on the CyberLine and can't tell them apart from his own to live

one genre of fanfiction that seems to have mostly disappeared since i became an adult is shenanigans-type fics. like not exactly crack but just "the gang goes to 7-11" type, extremely low-stakes plot stories. the beach episodes of fanfiction. i just feel like i don't see those around so much anymore. whered they go. i miss them :(

#maybe because that kind of thing isn’t as common in modern media #specifically modern like… video mediums #films and series and such #like please believe me when I say I’d love to see what a grocery run for David Martinez looks like #both before and after he started running jobs #or that I’d love it if Jayce and Mel and Viktor and Jinx et al got to have a silly episode similar to the lighter-hearted adventure time-#-episodes eg BMO Noir #or the episode where Finn and Jake blow a bunch of cash in Razzberry Princess’s kingdom #or the tea party episode that’s the accompanying episode to BMO Noir and happens like two seasons after #sigh

realizing a headcanon of yours happens to make an element of canon even more heartbreaking when you hadn't even considered it from that angle previously

[ID from alt: emoji rubbing their hands together and grinning evilly. End ID.]

#the many incredible things I hear in that TA server #new angles of analysis #new stuff to examine #and the tastiest is when it doesn’t contradict canon #yum #also me in my head with Bryce and Octavian lol

Reguri Vampire-Werewolf weird sort of AU but not quite smut… yeah. That’s a thing now I guess

#or it’s ALMOST a thing #cause instead of working on more pressing WIPs #here I am finding ways to make Red and Green crave each other #but also it was coming #already have a fic from Green’s POV where Green is so so weird about Red #and now it’s Red’s turn #wish I could do it from the same universe for each though #but that’s something to consider in the future #anyway #reguri #trainer red #green oak

And you know what? The relationship in my head that most reminds me of Tristan-Callum is Grovyle-Dusknoir from PMD EOS, especially with how special episode 5 expands and concludes their story together.

I could very much see Grovyle and Dusknoir playing “I’ll kill you” gay chicken (and don’t they, especially Dusknoir?)

I could very much see Tristan and Callum trapped in a long-since-doomed future in which Tristan is tired and ready for Callum to betray him at soonest convenience except Callum chooses him (and don’t they, in many big and small ways, from the texts to the fact that Callum’s first response to Tristan’s abduction is to go to his aid?)

There’s differences of course. Tristan-Callum would not be what it is without the impact the rest of the six, as well as Mr Titular himself, had on them. Grovyle-Dusknoir is a lot more contained to how their characters have been shaped by the narrative (softer/more silent impact of other characters on them, especially from Dusknoir’s end - Grovyle has the MC and Celebi and Dusknoir has… Sableye chronies? A nightmare-fiend boss?)

Anyway yeah that’s my two cents I’m SURE there’s other people out there who’ve read the Atlas Series and played PMD EOS and are getting what I’m getting at.

#the atlas series #and #pmd eos #pmd explorers #like… what a realisation #Tristan Caine #Callum Nova #explorer grovyle #dusknoir

Relistened to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (not darkness/time… well, not JUST those two; you’ll see why) soundtrack the other day and started tearing up when Star Cave started playing and then teared up even more when Fortune Ravine and Vast Ice Mountain came up because yeah, those special episodes were moving as all hell. Bidoof’s eagerness to prove himself… Igglybuff losing the first true friend he makes… Grovyle and Dusknoir being caught in distrust but needing to trust each other if they want to make it anywhere, and the dread and hopelessness slowly transforming into hope as the effects of the successful defeat of Dialga in the past free the future from paralysis…

#pokemon mystery dungeon #pmd explorers #explorer grovyle #and #Dusknoir #all the PMDs have good narratives #but EOS is very special for delivering so so amazingly in terms of execution and characters #Grovyle was having a rough go of it and they made sure we knew #Bidoof’s self-esteem issues were just so… painfully real #also don’t forget that the special episodes were written in a very special and fantastic way to make the player’s life harder!#WHY DO YOU WANT MY BIDOOF TO FIGHT A DAMN JIRACHI???#and that stupid mob fight right before the limestone quarry in here comes team charm?#and why would you make me fight primal dialga with three pokemon whose STABs are all resisted?#double resisted in the case of grovyle and celebi’s grass STAB???#also I have NOT forgotten the hell on earth that was spring cave #great expansion on Magma Cavern’s BGM but horrible dungeon to experience

The chapter full of Tristan’s many, many, MANY, scenarios was… a very difficult read.

#the atlas complex #Tristan Caine #At least I have confirmation that Tristan would have fucked 4 out of the 5 other people in that house given the chance?#so yay??#material to use when my heart is not bleeding #when I say 4 out of 5 I mean including the 2 that he did indeed fuck so like

And somehow you want me to read through 150 more pages? When you just… just pushed Libby to the VERY logical conclusion of the path she was walking?

#the atlas series #the atlas complex #Gideon Drake my heart goes out to you #FUCK!

Love love love it when Parisa and Callum get up to Some Bullshit™️ together. One of my favourite bits of the Atlas Paradox was them interacting simply once the murderous intent was out of the way.

#the atlas series #the atlas complex #Parisa Kamali #Callum Nova

“Yikes, says Atlas Blakely, or something of that equivalent […]”

Truly Atlas the man that you are

#the atlas complex #the atlas series #atlas blakely #made me giggle so much idk

You know, it's aggravating to read fics where the writers have created Blorbo-Centered Morality - you know, the fics where everyone who's ever been mean to Blorbo are horrible irredeemable people, and Blorbo himself had never done anything bad ever, and we will reinterpret all of canon through this lens and divide the cast into Camp A (who understand Blorbo is perfect) and Camp B (monsters to be utterly condemned)

BUT

Sometimes you find a writer who has done this for, like, a D-list minor character, and suddenly the heroes who saved the world several times are having their worth defined by whether said world-saving involved being nice to this one random dude or being mean to him. Because said random dude has become this writer's Specialest Little Guy. THAT'S very funny actually.
