Norman: Where should we put this new houseplant?

Caroline: Right in front of the microwave/air fryer/oven, it'd really bring the whole room together.

Stuff happened and now I have made a young FSM design to go along with my previes humanoid overlord design. Also someone from a discord server I'm in have them a ship name so allow me to introduce balance shipping.

Expect a lot of content with these two becouse I have a lot of ideas

Also here's the two designs next to eachother

Yes they have the same silly hat but they wear it for very different reasons.

my final refs for them!!

Sarah’s last name is Adam (short for Adaman/adamant ig) in japanese and Hugh’s is shade (referring to color bc his names a play on hue)!!

(meowscarada, floragato, skeledirge, and revaroom sprites under cut, I didn’t make them and credits to who did)

Since RSE has Norman being 110% involved with Pokemon as his life (imo) and since watching the episode “Love, Petalburg Style!” (I haven’t read the Adventures manga, so I don’t know anything specific about manga!Norman)...

I’d think there would be at least one fanfic with Norman’s wife being somewhat bitter that he can’t properly balance his life as a trainer/husband/father. He’s supposed to hand out the Balance Badge, but he can’t balance his life? Ironic really. 

Though to me the Balance Badge symbolizes Norman balancing his battle style/strategies than his life in general. But badges symbolizing how gym leaders interact with people in their relationships would be a nice touch because hell ye symbolism! I suppose badges could symbolize both how they handle Pokemon battles and personal relationships in life?

I’ve wanted fanfics where Caroline knows she accepted this part of Norman before marrying him, but still can’t help but feel a little lonesome when he spends days training his Pokemon... Or she can’t help but feel a twinge of pain when their kids ask what he’s doing and if he’ll come home from training.

It got a little worse after May’s Tentacruel incident, which left her anxious around Pokemon for who knows how many years? Caroline would comfort her, and slowly try to help May ease her way into befriending them again...

But Caroline will never forget the look of disappointment on Norman’s face. And neither will May... and eventually the young girl tries to smile awkwardly and make it seem like she likes Pokemon again, just to keep Dad happy. And to make him stop shoving the oh-so-cute Slakoth in her face while he tells her she should at least like cute Pokemon. (Though everything else has been a little on the down side... I imagine Norman trying to coax May to pet his legion of Slakoth with her having a huge anime sweatdrop to be much more lighthearted.)

Leave me Quistions about balance shipping (overlord X FSM) because I wanna develop them as much as possible and this seems like a good idea.

sorry if you’ve said this somewhere but how do the first spinjitzu master and the overlord get together?

When FSM first showed up to Ninjago I think the overlord would have been very hesitant to go anywhere near him. But eventually he's approach, considering At that point in time FSM was the only intelligent being he could have a normal conversation with.

Even if they where nothing Alike they got along. Their big rivalry started as nothing more then a bunch of friendly challanges the mortals interpreted as them fighting. When they noticed that they tried to tone it down, but the overlord physicaly couldn't do too much good, being the embodiment of evil ment that if there wasn't enough evil in the world we would actually just die.

He tried to compromise with FSM. He would do a little good if the other could do a little evil. It worked at first, but FSM cared too much about how people loved him and broke this little deal to do a little evil.

Their actual fight began....ending with FSM splitting Ninjago in half

Thing was, they where never officially together, but they where so close that they might as well have been. And the feelings where definitely there.

And that's about it.

what are the reasons they both wear hats?

I don't really have a lore reason. I just thought it would be cute.

Also when I first designed the overlord his human form started existing after FSM died, and he was actually wearing FSM's hat... although that's changed now and they just both have hats because why not
