[Happy belated asking-paradise anniversary! Here's a silly little animatic I made to test out Clip Studio Paint's features, using some audio from Game Grumps!!]
(@asking-paradise) Linn@Bizz: So... it's your goal to become famous?" One of her ears twitches as she frowns, searching for the right words. "In my experience, you may end up being let down or burnt out if that's the main goal. Do you have other, personal goals to make in this career? I assume you're passionate about your talents, at least."
Bizz: If you wanna know my GOAL, well... I guess it's just to make a livelihood from music.
(@asking-paradise) Linn@Saltriv: "You enjoy writing in a journal? I've tried that before, but I was never able to keep up with it. I've been told it's good for mental health though! If you ever get stuck, little doodles can be fun too to convey some thoughts. Do you like to draw?"
"It is! It's helped me a lot!" the Chikorita said, smiling. "I'm not really one for drawing, though. I've tried it a few times in the past, and Dad said I was really good at it, but I never had much fun with it. I'm better at showing my thoughts with words."
(@asking-paradise) Meeko@Leilani: "Hello! You seem to talk fondly about your family. I don't remember what my family was like much; yours sounds nice though. What's your family like?"
@asking-paradise
“They both really try to look out for me, but in different ways.”
“My big brother Kai is probably one of the bravest Pokemon I know, and he loves to fight! Not in the same as Kass, Kai is way more fair and knows it’s all for fun. He does get in trouble a lot because of it, because he will fight pretty much anything, and especially if they came after me. Sharpedo, Gyarados, Wishiwashi... I think even if the Great Kyogre itself was around, he’d try to fight it. Don’t get the wrong idea about Kai, though! He would die before he let anything hurt me, and he dreams of becoming a great hero and protecting anyone who needs it! And even though he has lots of friends in the tribe and has always had more... karys-ma... than I do, he always tries to find time to play with me or take me on an adventure or something.“
“I know Mother isn’t always happy with him letting me explore with him, though.”
“And about Mother... of everyone in my tribe, Mother is probably one of the wisest. Maybe the wisest, aside from Chief Makai, of course. But that’s probably because she was raised the Chief himself, and she has advice for almost everything!! I know our island wasn’t very big and not much really bad stuff happened on there, but whenever it did, she was always there for me and for Kai. Moreso me, though; Kai is... better at taking care of himself.”
“Oh, and her stories are the best!! Mother knows lots of stories, both about our tribe and other legends our tribe picked up from other regions, and she’s an amazing storyteller! When she tells a story to the other Popplio and Brionne in my tribe, even Kai listens! I think he loves her stories most of all.”
“You... don’t remember much about your family? Not even a little bit?”
Hey, mod, aside from your friends' blogs, who are some people you really look up to, and why??
I’m gonna cheat a bit, and add people I’m kinda friends with, but I wish we were better friends.
((Explanation under the cut))
@daily-pikachu: They are one of the people that interact with my blog the most, and I really like receiving an ask from them. Not only that, I actually love drawing Kronos. I wish I was better friends with them.
@something-like-an-askblog: I really like how humanoid the characters look, as well that there’s like no real filter to what they can do and draw. I wanna thank them for the thing with Yasumi. I also wish I was better friends with them.
@askthatespurr: I actually really like their drawing style and how wholesome the blog is in general!
@asking-paradise: Not everyday you see a PMD Askblog based on Gates to Infinity, and a good looking one as well! I really like how detailed and kinda realistic their characters look. They are the reason my characters look a bit more detailed than before.
@askmrnuzleaf: Pokemon MSD is actually one of my favourite games of all time, and I’m pretty happy to see someone likes that game as well. Not only that, but it’s nice to see they draw traditionally as well.
@shima-draws/ @ask-explorersoftime: Another blog with PMD characters! This time, Explorers! They have like really professional-looking art, and their human characters look so cool!
@sos-togedemaru: A more recent blog that already looks amazing, as well their detailed art. They are really god at expressions.
@askharmoniauniversity: Probably one of the best blogs out there, I adore how they handle character interactions and personalities, as well as having one of the most clean artstyles I’ve ever seen.
@yourdailyumbreon: I owe them a lot. It was because of them that I wanted to start an askblog many years ago. I’m really inspired by their artwork, and they are the reason my favourite Pokemon is Umbreon.
If you were to ever play PSMD and were to make something akin Galaxies Above or Asking Paradise for it, what hero and partner do you think you would choose for your team?
Oh hmm... I don’t really know!
Both Galaxies Above and asking-paradise were made based off of playthroughs I had of their respective games, though I didn’t go into playing the games with the intention of making much content based off the teams. So, if I went into playing PSMD with the intention of making something for it, that might affect how I make my team compared to how I made Team Galaxy and Team Impulse.
Currently, if I do play PSMD, I’ll probably play it similarly to how I casually play other pmd games for the first time; do the quiz honestly and pick a partner based off that. I tend to self insert a lot when it comes to pmd too, but I feel like if I wanted to make something akin to GA or AS, then I would want to go more on the route of ocs this time through.
And though I haven’t played PSMD yet, I do know its story, and don’t have any major thoughts on it that would develop into my own story that would warrant content like that. That could change if I actually played it, but that does mean that right now, I don’t really have much motivation to make something akin to GA or AS for a team for PSMD.
