Across the world, many cry out in pain. Pokemon being pushed too far, or being abused for the benefit of selfish and pathetic humans. Far too often it is humans and Pokemon who scream for help, and far too often do these calls fall on deaf ears.
When the justice system fails, it is up to those who can to take up it’s role.
This is the mission of Team Templar. Our founder, Finley Ferenic, was an Arcist, who formed our organization around these three tenants.
1: No human or pokemon shall be denied aid due to matters of personal bias. Not worship, not sexuality, nothing of the sort.
2: If evidence is gained but not acted on by the justice system, Team Templar shall solve this wrong.
3: Team Templar shall accept all members, regardless of who they worship or who they love.
We continue to act on these to the present day.
If you would like to send a request for aid, or if you would like to assist us in our cause, please direct a message to the askbox, and we will be there.
Mercy is not given to those who hurt Pokemon or humans, that shall be given at judgement.
Like the Creator, we accept all those who are good. We acknowledge the existence and power of other creatures worshiped. This must be made clear to enable our organization.
We wish to see you as a friend, not as a target.
I am Social Outreach Officer Alex, and I have been designated to help with, well, outreach, specifically on Rotumblr. I have one pokemon, Withy, she is a greavard. I am nineteen years old, and I use he/him pronouns.
(OOC under the cut)
Hi! This is a villain blog of what amounts to murderous progressive Christian vigilantes. Team Templar’s views do not align with mine, (except for the progressive Christian stuff.)
Hatemail is ok as long as it’s directed at the team, and pelliper mail is on. Alex is the main character talking on the blog, but others may pop in from time to time, such as Officer Sandy (more formally known as “Dangerous Pokemon Handling Officer Sandy” but she thinks that’s a dumb title.)
They currently have a mythical pokemon on their side at the Sinnoh base, Zeraora.
This is gonna involve dark stuff. If you send us any tumblr blog in the pokeblogging community, we need to get permission from that blog to try and carry it out. Team Templar doesn’t always succeed, but they do try. Hope you have fun, not all of them are as serious during official business as Alex is lol.
Artcist to racist? Maybe the machine spirit is trying to tell you something, conehead.
First of all, Arcist.
Second of all, I prefer the hive mind.
Third of all, do not compare us to that fucking organization ever again. Team Templar has not spent thousands of years refining and bettering our craft just to be compared to the KKK.
Wrong denomination. They aren't even considered Arcists by some of us (and if this device doesn't stop autocorrecting Arcist to racist I SWEAR-), we can drink, we don't do missionary work, and there are plenty of other differences between us and the beliefs you mentioned.
Oh, fuck, that's a hard one. I remember a funny one from house of leaves where priests started crying because they discovered it was celebrate instead of celibate.
Just your yearly reminder that "be gay, do crimes" means disobeying unjust laws that only serve to oppress people and/or exclusively benefit the upper class. It does not mean it's okay to murder people. It also does not mean disobeying safety regulations put in place for your protection. If I have to save one more idiot who thinks walking on train tracks that are in active use is punk, I'm going to have an aneurysm.
i figured making something like this would be fun, so here it is.
some of these get a little personal, so for askers and answerers... be nice to each other. if somebody doesn't want to answer, don't pressure them.

hi did you know that trans christians spend their entire lives in faiths that try and convince them that on a cosmical level they should hate themselves and for them this would be emotionally fufilling? hi did you know that kansas is over 70% christian? hi did you know that just because you think atheism is the correct and the only thing that deserves respect that doesn’t mean that this isn’t incredibly impactful and meaningful for many people?
Why are you so invested in me? I cannot join your team, nor can you ever truly help me if I need it. Why?

@hoardedhorns
Same reason I joined Team Templar in the first place. I like helping people. And, what you described experiencing sounds exactly what our team is taught to despise.
not an insult to you but to the people who taught you that but doesn't it seem gross that it objectifies relationships purely into whether or not it makes children, which does cause significant pain. more than anything it's just gross when looking at reproductive rights
