Got some more ideas, for Twilight this time. Umbreon, mightyena, and Zoroark would all be good fits for his wolf-side. Zoroark has the added bonus of being a shapeshifter. Sableye is the most imp-like Dark type, representing Midna, and Bisharp or Pawniard would be good for representing him as a swordsman. And Zoroark could immediatle preceed him for man-to-wolf shapeshifting action. And his gym would have you shift between the normal world and the Twilight world, navigating a twin-dimension maze
I really frigging like this. I definitely want him to have a Mightyena, and the whole dynamic for him having Zoroark and Pawniard would be epic. And I REALLY FRIGGING LIKE your idea for the gym. I feel like it’d make an awesome either mid-League Gym or final gym. I kind of want Time to be the 8th Gym Leader, maybe Twilight can be the 6th, since Wild will most likely be our 7th.
Prompt: Junkrat finds out Symmetra likes fireworks
(Sorry this took me so long! I had to swish around a few ideas! I hope you enjoy this!)
It was a cold evening. Satya sat on the ledge of the window, inside of the Gibraltar Base’s lonely and dark living room area. At least it served as a ‘living room’ when it wasn’t an old storage room.
Somewhere far off of the coast, a celebration was taking place, and fireworks were being set off. She held a mug of tea in her hands and took gentle sips as she watched them from far off.
Muffled steps, well, steps and some odd metal ‘clinks’, indicated someone was coming. She turned her attention to the door, and in clambered Junkrat. He was holding a bottle of water and a small notepad in one hand, and a music player in the other hand.
“Oh! Didn’t think I’d be ‘spectin’ company!” He said with a smile. “Neither did I,” she replied, not necessarily angry that her solitude was being interrupted, but more disappointed that now her motives would be questioned. Junkrat was always curious and he never usually intended to irritate her, but sometimes she really hated having to answer so many simple things, just to satiate his curiosity.
“What’re you up too?” he asked, as he set his things down upon the sofa. She raised the mug to her lips, cleared her mind as the tea warmed her, and let out a sigh, “I am observing some sort of celebration. It would seem that there is need for some rather lovely fireworks.” This peeked his attention. “Fireworks? I wanna see!” He excitedly moved over close to the window, catching a sight of one red burst that had set off. He giggled to himself, “They need some more! I’d give ‘em some to make their party a REAL blast!” Satya smirked, “I’m sure they’ve got it handled.” He turned to look at her, “I didn’t know you liked fireworks. I always took it that they were a bit too….I dunno…uh…not your thing?” She looked out at two small bursts of green and yellow, “I do not mind them. I know I come off as someone who does not enjoy much, but fireworks are definitely ‘my thing’. I know sometimes the noise from their explosions are rather loud, but it’s not something I can’t tolerate.”
To Satya’s surprise, they watched the end of the celebration in silence. Junkrat turned to his things on the couch after they confirmed that it was the end. She pushed off from the window’s ledge and decided to leave the room. Before she had time to escape the threshold, Junkrat called out to her. “Oi! Which colours do you think are the best?” She turned to face him, an eyebrow raised, “Do you mean from the fireworks?” He lay on the couch, the notepad open and upright on his stomach, held by his metal hand, and a pen in his flesh hand. “Nah, I mean like in general? My favourite colours are green and purple! Sometimes red’s good.” She stared at him for a moment and then folded her arms, carefully balancing the empty mug in her hand, “Well, I am quite partial to blue, but I enjoy all colours really. White and gold are nice. I do have to say that I am surprised that you enjoy purple.” He tilted his head to see her better from the notepad, “Yeah? Why’s that?” She dropped her arms and looked off, “It is just that it is-” ‘such a calm colour,’ is what she wanted to say, but she thought that saying that would possibly anger him, she didn’t know him that well yet. “It is..well, a cool colour compared to the colours you normally wear.” He chuckled as he scratched something onto his notepad, “Ha! Roadie says that too! He thinks it’s too ‘calm’ a colour for me to like.” At this Satya snickered, enjoying that the man’s own bodyguard had a similar thought to her own.
They bid each other a good evening, albeit she knew he probably wasn’t going to sleep for quite a while for he was known throughout the base as the resident Nightowl, next to D. Va and Mercy.

Some time had passed since this encounter. A mission or two had kept them from seeing each other for long periods of time.
One evening, in that very same living room, Satya gazed out of the window. She held her arms, nails digging into the soft knitting of her long sleeved blouse, wishing she could see something comforting like those fireworks again. The missions had given her quite a bit of stress and she was grateful for the break, but something to take her mind off of things would be much more enjoyable.
Then the familiar steps came into earshot. “There you are! Been trying t’find ya!” Junkrat hobbled into the room. She looked to him and took a few steps forward, “You were? What is it? Am I missing a meeting?” He shook his head and let out a small laugh, “No! But I wanted to show you somethin! We can see it here if y’like!” She looked around the room, not seeing anything out of the ordinary, all except for a detonator in his hand. Once she noticed it, she put up her hands, “Please Junkrat, I am not in any mood to see some sort of landmine demonstration.” “Pssssh no! Nothing like that! Trust me! Here! Stand right in front of the window and watch!” He moved over to the right and motioned to where she was standing moments ago. Hesitantly, she walked back to her spot and peered out of the window. He looked to her and the outside excitedly, “Y’ready?” She let out a long sigh and folded her arms again, “I suppose so.” He let out a laugh and pressed the trigger.
A loud whistle set off, followed by a familiar loud popping. Beautiful streams of gold and blue bursts forth in the evening sky. Satya gasped and dropped her hands. Another set of whistles and pops went off, revealing more colors, different sizes, and even different shapes. She didn’t know at the time, but a smile had formed upon her face. And she also didn’t know the look and smile the man next to her wore. He broke the silence after another pair of white and red fireworks went off, “So I can assume y’like it?” She stared out the window as she responded, “Oh, it is perfect.”
The private show caused a little stir from the rest of the base. Ana Amari was coming to check the living room area, only to enter the doorway from the left to see the two. As quietly as she came in, she left just as quietly to report that the fireworks was nothing to worry about. (But Junkrat would get an earful from Morrison in the morning).
As the fireworks came to a finale, Satya breathed in and took a seat on the sofa. She sighed and closed her eyes, “I truly needed that.” Junkrat came over and sat on the opposite end of the couch. She opened her eyes and looked to him, “Thank you for that. I was just thinking before you came in how I’d love to see fireworks again.” He played with the detonator in his hand, “Yeah? Well I’m glad I had them ready for you! Been meaning t’show you them, but we had to go on all those missions. Was hard settin’ all this up in what little time there was between ‘em.” She jerked her head, “You have been setting these up for almost a month?” He had his arm over the top of the couch and pulled it off to rest his elbows on his knees, “Well…yeah. I mean, I had some leftover from when I was in China one time, but I made some more! I love fireworks m’self and it’s hard to find other people who like ‘em too! So when you were here that one time, I figured I could show you! Plus, seeing how happy they made you, guess I should make more, yeah?” She laughed in her throat, “If you would like to! But this, it was sweet of you, thank you.” She turned her attention away, not noticing the slight trace of pink that started to show up on the man’s face. She sighed once more and stood, “Well, now I must think of a way to thank you properly. hmmm….I think there is a place that has that drink you like somewhere off of the coast.” He straightened up, “Wuh? I mean…y’don’t have to…” She stood up straight, “I insist. You went out of your way to do this, I would like to repay you. Let me know when you would like to go and I will work it into my schedule.” Sitting there with his mouth agape, he tried to find his words, “I-uh-well-uh-sure…sure thing?” She smiled and turned away. As she left the room, she said, “Good. It is a date then.” His eyes bulged, “WHAT?” It came out more of a squeak than his regular voice. “Good night Junkrat!” she called out. She walked away to her room, leaving a very panicked, flushed red, Junkrat on the living room couch.
I see you recently rblogged some Bionicle Movie stuff. Have you ever noticed that the movie Turagas' bodies are actually modelled after Bohrok Va? Like, the way they are hunched over is because their hips are placed distinctly in front of their torsos, and the rounding of their backs is due to the Krana holding plate. Ever since I made the discovery, it has haunted me, man!
oh...OH.
I’ve always assumed they went with the Turaga set body design, but now that I look at pics again, the Bohrok Va design is way more closer in resemblance.
So, speaking of nonsense in movie Nokama's design, have you ever noticed that the movie Turagas' bodies are actually modelled after Bohrok Va? Like, the way they are hunched over is because their hips are placed distinctly in front of their torsos, and the rounding of their backs is due to the Krana holding plate.
@tmpulsar @eldritchsteamhearted It was so nice to finally hear them sing. And if I recall correctly, they’re not just partners--they’re a married couple! They certainly make wonderful music together.
@tmpulsar I don’t know! They could be, but you’d think they’d have had some kind of sign that they were. Perhaps it’s in an upcoming episode.
oh god how do I choose
@eldritchsteamhearted I’d had that pointed out to me on Discord after asking that, but I had completely forgotten about that, which is embarrassing, because it was literally one of the last Steven Universe things I’d liveblogged at the time.
