Here comes a plateful of food!! Chew carefully lol. On a side note, I intended this as a rough sketch but I got really serious into it so part of it is thanks to you LOL
Az wants to find a gift for Floette - makes her a flower crown or something, fdghf.
Some young trainers and participants approach and ask AZ some friendly, curious questions (mostly about his height and his pokemon). He responds to them kindly (huge grandpa energy).
Floette wants to dance, but AZ says he can’t because of his age and physical limitations. After some words of encouragement from the main group (you + Shauna, Prof. Sycamore and Valerie) he concedes and does a little bit. - “It’s been well over 3000 years since we’ve partook in festive leisure together.”
He asks you to teach him how to battle and stuff - joins you in sync pair battles (Still dont know how masters work so i’m probably wrong)
I also thought up of this worldbuilding idea that i spent some time cooking so feel free to read it if you want to---
Culture context: every time spring comes, Kalos celebrates its arrival with festivals (taken some inspiration none other than France itself of course!)
For instance, flower dances are held (also known as la danse des fleurs/la danse du printemps). This involves little girls dressing up as flabebes (Age 4-9), older girls as floette (10-15) and 16+ dress up as florges; little boys dress up as combee, teen boys wear roselia suits and adult teens wear Roserade. Each age group pairs up with their opposite genders and dances in circles to mimic the movement of the flabebe line and their relationship to the flowers and other pokemon.
The tradition centers on the flabebe line as the heralds of spring; their presence signifies fertility of the land, where flowers and fruits can grow, marking the beginnings of new life. Legends say that the tradition can be traced back to an ancient record of a boy and his companion who frolicked along the flower fields a long time ago.
People also plant flowers in community gardens and give away flowers to others as a way of building stronger relationships with each other, plus deepening their ties to the land.
"No you didn't." A rough, pain filled voice sounded from the top of the stairs that led to Esteldin's ground level. But it was also a voice that everyone had thought they wouldn't hear again, as only Eruingil had been brought back alive from the mission.
You give off the energy of our chaotic cutie the sun of everyone's lives Baekhyun with your chaotic fangirling tendencies in the tags, they make me laugh and i love that
Fnsjdjw B.A.E.Khyun ahahaha ngll that is such a compliment 😂😂 but honestly i sometimes look back on my tags and am like 😳😳 why did i write that but sometimes we just have to embarrass ourselves on here 💀😂😂
A briar patch rustled wildly as someone fought hard to escape its grasp. Cinnamon was only hurting herself more as she tried to get free, her now fluffy fur coat, ears, and tail getting caught and hurt in thorns. It was plainly obvious the Mage turned Werewolf was confused and terrified.
Galacta raised a brow, looking over at the struggling puff.
“H-hey, calm down.” he tried to console. “I can get you out, but you have to keep still.” He couldn’t quite recognize who it was yet, but he didn’t want to inflict them with his curse of bad luck.
what didn't you like about season 3? I liked Lotor, and the alternate universe concept as well as clone shirk and younger zarkon. now I had the "this is only 7 episodes, not the full season in mind" but I didn't like how they had Keith willingly leave his team behind when he had that character growth in season 2s BoM episode. they put Keith down a lot for characters like lance to shine, and Lotor to show his cunningness. talk to me captain
There were a lot of things I didn’t like and I had some expectations that S3 would draw my attention and interest back fully on Voltron again, but yeah - haha. Not happening, so far. Er, putting this under “Read More” simply because rant. /sighs
Some things I didn’t really like however, were basically:
Everything felt super rushed and the pacing was horrible; there was too much going on in one episode, imo.
The portrayal of Keith - I guess, which I felt was really … Dumb? I get that the way he reacted was supposed to be because of Shiro’s absence, but it just made Keith seem really dumb, illogical, and like he can’t do anything right unless Shiro is there. He came off very dependent but not really only that, it just seemed that his angst and anger wasn’t executed very well because I didn’t really … I don’t know? I sat there and was like, for a moment, “Wow, this is the Keith - the character I really adore?” It just seemed as if at first, Keith came off as a very fun, complex character because he wasn’t just your impulsive, hot-headed loner - he had issues with being abandoned, he’s a bit socially awkward, able to joke and laugh, loyal and trustworthy, etc. – but with the portrayal of him in S3, it just felt like the horrible, stereotypical emo boy fanon!Keith was real - like, everything he had in S2 just went down the drain all of a sudden. Especially his time piloting the Black Lion. It was just ??? Alright, so I understand that he’s not going to be the best leader straight on, but come on. The characteristics in this show is just so inconsistent.
Switching Lions was done pretty poorly and seemed pointless, imo. I just - ??? I’m already cringing at people making the whole, “Lance is in Keith’s shadow now” because really? Not even that though, but I just don’t understand ??? Like, I honestly don’t see a reason as to why Allura can’t be accepted as the Red Lion? I had high hopes for her because I viewed Keith and Allura as very similar. Lance being accepted as the pilot for Red Lion didn’t make sense? I don’t really see how he proved himself either? He literally tells Keith that he doesn’t want him as leader, thinks Keith bringing up how Shiro chose him as the leader as Keith having an ulterior motive, and then suddenly, he’s so accepting just because Black Lion accepted Keith in front of him? S1, Allura states that Red Lion is the hardest to earn the trust of - well, damn.Keith, risks his life to prove his worth to Red LionLance, sees Keith get accepted by Black Lion despite how ten minutes ago he was being bitter about it - instantly gets accepted by Red Lion Amazing.
Lance’s development was shitty. Like, he doesn’t even develop through the episodes, he just randomly changes after Keith gets BL and he gets RL. All of a sudden, he’s supportive, the voice of reason, the person who puts his hand on Keith’s shoulder to give him reassurance and it’s like, okay - throughout the series, we are literally shown Lance being a dick to Keith for no reason other than having a misconception about Keith’s character (envy, inferiority, jealousy) - and now, he doesn’t even address that. His development doesn’t address it at all.It’s obvious that Keith would be involved with Lance’s development and I wanted them to settle the problem between them that Lance instigated, but with how S3 developed it, they just swept that under the rug. Honestly, I don’t know how anyone could be satisfied with that but you do you. I mean, maybe I’m just a salty Keith lover, but S3 swept Lance’s bad sides under the rug and just showed how logical and reasonable he was and supportive and just how insecure he is without actually … Letting him … Develop it. It just … Happens. Like, he’s a different person ten minutes later.
Lotor and the Paladins; it seemed like the writers didn’t know how to show just how different Lotor was from his previous version and that he is now, smart and cunning - intelligent with hidden agendas without dumb-ing down the Paladins? LOL? The whole baiting scene was just ???? Lance points out they’re being pinned against each other, Keith screams at everyone because he’s angry and frustrated, and then - Pidge, Hunk, and Allura have no idea what to say or what they’re doing. Meanwhile, Lotor is just apparently too damn smart. Honestly, I really like him a lot! Tbh, I just didn’t like how ??? His scenes were kinda’ … I don’t know, it just didn’t stand out for me.
For some reason, it seemed like no one really cared about Shiro’s disappearance but Keith? Everyone was already ahead and making jokes about wanting to be BP and it just seemed kinda’ weird? Like, they comforted Keith for a second and then they were just - shrug, shrug, shrug.
I actually don’t care much for the clone!Shiro plot.
Er, the fact that they made Shiro’s absence such a big goddamn issue for Keith and then, once Shiro’s back, it’s just sorta’ like, lackluster in the reaction Keith has?
Yeah, that’s all I can think of right now. There were of course, some good parts as well? I enjoyed the Lance and Pidge moments, the Lance and Allura moments especially, and I like the idea of Auxia and Keith being foils (since she was apparently leading the battleship thing they made with the comet). I think I’ve come to love Zarkon’s character more than Lotor, actually, and felt that the background they gave Zarkon made him so … Easy to sympathize for, like, oh, everything makes sense now. The Lance and Keith moments were actually quite nice to watch. Sorry if this answer was a bit disappointing. I’m pretty bitter right now but I’m still going to stick around. Thanks for the ask! Have a good day/night.
would it be okay for me to draw your AZ sygna suit design? I'm a big fan 🥺
Hello, and YES, you may of course! Thank you for the ask, am very honored to hear you like it a lot! 🤩 I drew it on a whim however, so I made a quick rough reference with some small updates on the design (most of the times, I just draw whatever idea is on my mind and improvise, whereas on other occasions, some planning and sketching is done haha 😅).
