Alright, let's do this again

I'm Ex-Champion Juniper Frost, a Sinnohan with a Master's degree in pokébiology and a minor in Regional Mythos. I'm returning to the Eterna City University of Pokémon Studies to get my doctorate in Pokébiology.

And yes, I am a Froslass hybrid. I don't have heterochromia, the purple eye is glass because my mom tried to kill me. She only succeeded in fucking up my hearing, my eyeball to the point of removal and giving me a myriad of burn scars.

And yes, my mother is/was Commander Venus of Team Galactic.

Found out I'm Giratina's Chosen the hard way (it's a long story).

I switch between my home in Sunyshore City, Sinnoh, the apartment I've given my friend in Nimbasa City, Unova, my summer house that I rent out in Lumiose City, Kalos and somewhere in Paldea. My current residence is in Eterna City, Sinnoh.

Lex's the Gyarados and despite how she may look, menacing face and scars aside, she's much quieter than you'd think.

Lumipallo's the Abomasnow and he's by far the better in my team when it comes to his actions.

Trixie's the Gengar, she has a fair few issues of her own considering she was once a human but she's taking time to get over them.

Lance's the incredibly eloquent Gallade, a strong fighter with and equally strong vocabulary.

Fright's the Umbreon, who struggles to communicate as well as the others but I still love him all the same.

Sparks' the sweet-as-pie Scizor, he's all about caring for others despite his species' typical demeanour.

Now, this is my current team

My two shinies, Lillian and Toffee, were acquired in a quite odd way. Lillian attempted to jump me just outside of the cottage I rented out and Toffee was an apology gift from a boy who used a pokéball on me.

Not pictured is my support Aurorus, Nordlys, and her support Skiploom, Brick. I have Nordlys due to a lot of issues caused by trauma, she has Brick because she's mute and greatly struggles with communication.

Here's the playlist we have for him

OOC under here!!

Juniper is 25 and while the mun is also an adult, I'd rather keep nsfw stuff away due to the fact that Juniper interacts with children, teenagers and young adults.

Mail/unmail is on.

Dreams/malice (Musharna) is off.

Juniper's universe is post Platinum.

Other universes are welcome to interact.

by arc i'm glad i'm so annoying about having the fidget toy collection meticulously organised

[everdazzlingsirens]

sonata was given a fidget spinner by her friend so she'd stop picking her wound and at least right now it's WORKING why didn't we try this sooner

[sinnohstruggles]

fidget toys are brilliant for distracting from things like that

i can send y'all more if you need them

[everdazzlingsirens]

do you have the cubes. or those things thatre like bubble wrap but you can do it over and over idk what they're called

[sinnohstruggles]

[pokemonshelterstories]

ever since my lycanroc (midday form if that matters) evolved, it's been sooo hard to keep her clean!! as a rockruff, she was pretty open to gentle baths, but as a lycanroc if I so much as *imply* that a shampoo bottle may be nearby, she flips out. i don't want to hurt her, or get hurt myself, because she does come from kind of a bad background (she's missing a hind leg because of some of the beatings she endured from the previous trainer's larger rock types, gigalith i think, it had to be amputated as a rockruff), but it's gotten to the point where she smells sort of like...dirt and rotting food, and my other pokemon (brionne) has started to notice and avoid her. is there any way i can make bathtime go more smoothly?

are you providing her with rock-type grooming posts and a large bin of dust to bathe in? being submerged in water is uncomfortable for lycanroc. a midday lycanroc that you have a good relationship with shouldn't react to things so strongly unless it's extremely stressful for them, so this is a sign to stop trying to bathe her with water. you shouldn't be using anything more than a damp washcloth when absolutely necessary. it's not healthy for her to get so wet, and with how sharp the rocks in their manes are, you could get seriously injured if she panics.

provided that you're giving her the proper self-grooming materials that she needs, she should be able to keep herself clean. a healthy lycanroc has a protective layer of dust in its fur, which it replenishes through dustbathing, and it should mostly smell of dry mud/dust. the fact that she smells so badly indicates that she's not properly grooming or has some manner of skin/fur issue, both of which are concerns to bring to her vet.

👖 Workwear

A good pair of light grey slacks, a pale blue cotton button-down, a matching grey waistcoat, a lavender tie, a grey hat and my lab coat completes my work uniform as a professor-in-training.

Surprisingly easy to get around in but I suppose I did have to learn from other professionals... issues in the field. The arms of the lab coat are pretty heavily reinforced and can withstand the bite of a wild Zigzagoon. The hat is surprisingly strong too, can withstand the pecks of a particularly mad group of Starly when necessary.

...not best impressed that it's a necessity at all really.

[sinnohstruggles]

So

Itty bitty life update from the Frost-Deo household

We got sick

like, extremely sick

Like shit almost took all of us out, people and 'mon alike, it was that bad

We're trying so hard to get better for Delibird Day but oh my arc there are so many tissues in every bin and the sneezing wont stop

I'm having to voice-to-text this and get this stupid great phone's Rotom to post anything because I am so germ-ridden and I am not contaminating this phone with this disgustingness

//Time for a

Clothing Based Ask Game!

clothes say a lot about you, and not just in the obvious ways. This is intended to be an ooc ask game, but I'm not your dad. These are soft discussion starters, so just ramble about what parts of each question you find interesting, but do try to think about things you don't normally wonder about. Let's go.

🧵 Cloth

What kind of materials does your character like to wear? synthetic, natural, nylon, polyester, leather, cotton, wool, etc. does your character have sensitive skin? do they choose style over comfort?

🎩 Formalwear

At some points in life you have to wear formal clothes lest you look like an asshole. How often does your character dress formally, or can they barely be convinced to not come shirtless to a funeral? what do they choose to wear, what can they afford, do they feel out of place? in short: how do they engage with formalwear?

👖 Workwear

Whatever you do to keep living, you gotta dress appropriately. how does your character approach workwear, do they have a uniform? if so, how do they feel about it? are their clothes there to be durable, mobile, appealing to clients, etc.? how quickly do they take off their work clothes and put on their normal clothes?

🧥 Outerwear

jackets, coats, unbuttoned shirt, how does your character layer? purely utilitarian to avoid the cold? annoyed that it's too hot to wear their fave jacket? when it comes to jackets, heavy or light? high tech like a bloktech or arcteryx, or low tech like a wool or leather jacket?

📏 Fitting

how does your character feel about tight or loose clothing? what cut are their pants, bellbottom, skinny, yadda yadda? do they size up, down, are they nonplussed in either direction? do they like to keep it tight in one area, loose in another?

👟 Activewear

does your character own anything they can move around in? Do they just own sweats so they can relax in? If they exercise, do they buy/wear proper synthetic activewear or do they wear the free shirt handed out on the street? when it comes to shoes, do they need specific shoes? how much cushioning do they need when moving and running? are they a freak who wears those toe shoes?

👙 Exposure

How much skin do they like to expose? if they have to swim, what do they wear? how do they feel about flip flops?

🛒 Grocery store fit

how much do they get on when going out for a quick errand? on a base level, with as little thought and effort going into their outward appearance, does their wardrobe make it clear they're fashionable? do they even care how people see them in these situations, and is fashion something that's only active choices, not a passive web of decisions?

🥻 Tradition

does your character have cultural garments in their closet? how often do they put them on, do they try to make it a part of their every day outfits? are they looked down on for their garb, how do they feel about others wearing their cultural clothes?

⚒️ Origin of Labor

Does your character care about where their clothes are from? do they think about labor that goes into clothes? have they bought from fast fashion, do they only purchase union made, are they aware yet willing to compromise? does your character look at stitch quality and details that set apart the quality works?

//Clothes are complicated and filled with many complex topics of discussion. I just got a few out of my head, and had to call a stopping point for now. theres so many more questions about gender, accessories, quality of craft, comfort, trends, thrifting, disposing of clothes, undergarments; honestly, however deep you thought the well is, it's deeper. Let me know if you want a round 2, I'll come up with more.

Hey y'all

How do you deal with large groups of plant cloak Burmy?

[paldeasnemesis]

they don't really live in paldea, but i've heard cold deters them

[sinnohstruggles]

It's so cold here and the bastards are pests and are native to Sinnoh

The place with a notably cold climate

which makes no sense

Anyway, they've made themselves home in the greenhouse at CD's workplace

[paldeasnemesis]

greenhouse, huh? i imagine fire is a no-go then

do you have any flying-types?

[sinnohstruggles]

Flying types are a maybe

pretty sure there's a starly sanctuary close to there with aviaries for sale to new flying type trainers so maybe one of the non-trainer staff members could consider it

theres the everstone stall at the market too...

I did bring up Remoraid, they having this whole predator-prey thing going on with Burmy and water types

[paldeasnemesis]

well, good luck with your infestation

[sinnohstruggles]

Thanks

ive had so many suggestions

i dont wanna have to mothim that shit

[sinnohstruggles]

Hey y'all

[mudkipsandmischief]

Try smelling like a Mothim and then Pied-Pipering them away!

[sinnohstruggles]

uh-

i don't think i'll be doing that one

thanks for the suggestion... i think?

[sinnohstruggles]

Smoke, like campfire smoke or similar. They hate it

huh

i'll note that down

[sinnohstruggles]

Hey y'all

How do you deal with large groups of plant cloak Burmy?

[skyfire-the-watcher]

Fire type moves if you want to battle them.

Or cut up fruits in a dish in a place where you would prefer them to be.

[sinnohstruggles]

Might have to do the cut up fruits, can't bring fire types into the greenhouse

[sinnohstruggles]

Hey y'all

How do you deal with large groups of plant cloak Burmy?

[oh-shinx]

I always found sweet scents could be used to lure bug types away, the more natural the better!!!!!!!!!!!! Honey is the best for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sinnohstruggles]

Ooo that could work actually

Thanks!!
