and @hattricks​ asked:

💞 😔

🧚 Do they tell the kids about Santa/the Tooth Fairy/etc.? If they do, at what age do they reveal the truth?

my personal disdain for chr1st1an1ty and its associated figures [santa, easter bunny, etc] appearing in-universe aside... leon doesn’t really like lying, and i think he’d find it difficult to reconcile lying to a child, even in fun? but he also encourages kids to have a sense of wonder, so i’m not 100% sure! i think it would really come down to what others have told the kid, whether the kid was enjoying the fantasy... that could really determine whether he played along. if he did have to break the illusion, he’d try to be very gentle and understanding about it. he probably would go ahead and do so if the kid asked about it directly.

💞 Do all parents parent equally, or does one spend more time with the children on a regular basis? How does this change as the children get older?

again, not 100% sure! it would really just depend on what happened in the future. if they decided to have kids, if raihan went back to being a gym leader or stayed champion for a long time... leon has things in the works to do most of his work from home in the future, so possibly he’d be the default parent around most just because he’d be spending the most time at home. ;)

😔 What are some of their worries/insecurities about being a parent? How do they deal with this?

one of leon’s biggest fears is already not being around enough for the people he loves. so even though he wants kids badly, assuming he and his partners could all agree to have them, he’d still want to wait until he had his own shit straightened out a lot better than he currently does. he’d make an effort to learn how to manage his time well and stick to a schedule, things like that.

he’s also worried about being a good role model. he knows he needs to work on looking after himself more often, rather than just telling other people to be good to themselves and turning around and doing the opposite. he wants to set a good example, and that should include taking care of himself physically but also not acting like things are fine when he’s actually upset. the last thing he’d want is to give a kid a complex because they can never tell whether their parent is mad or sad or whatnot.

dark and poison type trainers sketchy though i must admit. more so dark trainers. most evil people specialize in thoes

thats an unfair assessment. no pokemon type is inherently "evil," and its problematic to imply it, forget saying it outright.

sure, there are people and organisations who feel drawn to a certain type for the sake of... well, for lack of a better word, for the "edge." but the entire concept is flawed, and built upon longstanding, unwarranted stereotypes that actually greatly harm the pokemon with those typings.

that said, the number of ill-intentioned people drawn to these types for their "edginess" factor are vastly outnumbered by people with an honest passion for the types. it is in no way fair for people to be judged and stereotyped based on their love for something so pure as pokemon.

i understand why you may think so, given that the loudest, angriest people seem to get the most coverage in the media, but i beg you to take a moment to really consider whether its ok to assume someones morals based upon their type preferences, rather than how they treat others and their pokemon. i think youll come to find that most people simply have good hearts and an honest love for their pokemon.

Does your muse want to have kids? (Source: mostly-sentence-starters) (Please tag @characterdevelopmentasks in your answer!)

@characterdevelopmentasks thank you for the ask!

in short: yes. very badly, yes. i’ve mentioned it a while ago, but he doesn’t talk about it much because he doesn’t think it’ll ever be possible, so he doesn’t dwell on it. but he’s very nurturing and family oriented, plus he just really loves children. they represent all of humanity’s best qualities to leon; passion, excitement, curiosity, imagination, innocence. he would love to watch his child grow up and see who they become.

but near the beginning of their relationship, raihan made it clear that he didn’t want kids. they’ve since said that may change, but leon doesn’t press the matter. additionally, he knows he isn’t ready at this time, anyway. he needs to have his own life together first, because he would never force a kid into a situation where they wouldn’t be cared for properly.

your blog's great!

aww!! cheers, anonymate!!! i think YOURE great!!

📱 Are you enjoying being the Champion?

There’s only one way Leon can answer that question.

He hasn’t been home to Postwick in nearly two years now. After the last Championship, he was ushered away from Hop and their mother by League staff not five minutes after meeting up with them. Most times he tries to keep up with them, he’s interrupted by Rose or Oleana with something “urgent.” Something that ends up being a fitting for a suit or sucking up to a sponsor or anything equally trivial compared to family.

It’s been even longer since he’s seen Sonia, and they’ve grown so distant that every phone call and text is fraught with an overwhelming air of awkwardness. He doesn’t know how to fix it, or to show that he still cares. At this point, it’s just easier to not communicate at all, and to pretend their relationship is fine.

He’d tried to talk to Raihan after the Championship, too; at least the Hammerlocke Gym Leader is allowed in private League property. But his rival hardly looks at him outside of battle. Leon could have pretended Raihan didn’t hear him ask how he was, but he knows the truth -- knows that Raihan is only giving him the same treatment Leon has offered the past couple years.

Leon takes a deep breath, then lets out a boisterous laugh that shakes his shoulders.

“Enjoying it? There’s nothing I love more!” And to prove it, of course, he busts out the catchphrase and the pose, all with a beaming grin on his face.

So, which Galarian gym leader is the most likely to be arrested? (I'm sending this as a joke meme-and not related to any specific mun/muse! Basically a 'Yoshi commits Tax Fraud' Joke/meme.)

none of them, cos id fight any copper who tried

[champiowned]

not that anon, but alola made it quite clear that trainers are parents to their pokemon. So leon would be a father to Charizard.

oh, leon absolutely feels like charizard is his baby. fortunately for leon, he is actually charizard's baby.
