Shout out to characters who’ve annoyed Karin. Gotta be some of my favorite cast members

[liz0idglaz0id]

Want for Termina to have Pav as a playable character so I could recruit both him and Karin and see them bicker

Since this IS a Karin blog, her team comes first!

Karin’s Team:

Herdier

Fearow

Furfrou

Phantump

Explanations for each one:

Herdier

Herder is the only Pokémon that Karin has from childhood. She happened to have the pokeball with her when Dahlia took her, leaving any others she had behind.

Pokédex entries state that Herdier is a loyal pokemon that helps raise & guide other pokemon, but will refuse to obey anyone who it views as having disrespected it.

As for why is isn’t evolved into a Stoutland, uh idk. Sometimes in the anime atleast it’s possible for a pokemon to just straight up refuse to evolve.

Fearow

Fearow was caught by Karin when she was a child, and it was still a spearow. Dahlia was very opposed to this, since spearow aren’t exactly a pretty or easy pokemon. It was a small act of rebellion kind of?

Eventually, it evolved.

Also

Fearow in my opinion are loosely similar to common vulture depictions. Long crooked neck? Sharp beak? Long rougher feathers on the back? Scraggly feathers? Yeah that’s kind of just how most people tend to depict vultures. I know it’s not one, but close enough.

Her Fearow is very friendly though. A good boy!!! :D

Furfrou

For a decent chunk of the last 100 years France has been stereotyped as stylish and fashionable. So it’s not TOO farfetched that Dahlia would also have been intrigued by it

Furfrou is a pokemon that’s basically only been available in Kalos, the pokemon region based on France, and is said to have been exclusive to nobility or the upper class for most of the pokemon world’s history

So that would likely translate the same into this AU as well.

And since Dahlia was for the most part mainly interested in her public image and living a life of luxury, it would be reasonable for her to have gotten a Furfrou or two.

Karin was given her furfrou by dahlia. She feels pretty conflicted about it. It’s disobedient and there’s also that emotional aspect she won’t ever touch on, but it’s not the Pokémon’s fault. She doesn’t hold that against it.

Phantump

Phantumps are rumored (and basically confirmed) to be the spirits of dead kids who got lost in forests. But let’s ignore that last half about being in forests.

Or maybe not idk

Karin found this phantump on the battlefields

While writing and trying to investigate, the phantump started following her around and she couldn’t get it to leave so eventually gave up and caught it.

Been implied from my previous notes but this phantump when it was human was a child soldier.

For extra angst, i think I’ll say it was a member of the group that Levi was put in charge of. Maybe it would remember him.

And that’s the angsty pokemon team headcanons for Karin! :)

I’ve been designing a Termina self-insert and obviously to do that I’ve had to check out a ton of pictures as reference and thought this outfit was cute! Not my style so I didn’t plan on drawing myself in it, but I thought Karin would look good in it!!! (Drawing first, then the outfit I used as reference under the cut)

This is actually from 1947, not 1942 when the game takes place, but shhhh it’s only 5 years.

On a side note, also drawn because i wrote something and posted it anonymously because it kind of sucked

More of the Karin art I did last night (the ones my cat fell asleep on

Drawing characters Happy and tired are two of my favorite things

Also hair down Karin :)

[karinappreciation]

Couldn’t sleep so here’s a drawing of Karin & my irl cat

My cat for reference! (She’s turning 14 in two months!!!! My baby is an elderly kitty!!!! T^T)

I feel like Karin would be a cat person (unrelated to the actual CAT-PERSON who will not be named here). I feel like if she had a pet it’d be a really chill cat. I think maybe one of those really fluffy ones

[karinappreciation]

Had to babysit my nieces and nephews today and couldn’t get much done but I did draw this

The reference:
