Arceus' Attendant @trainer493 - Tumblr Blog

Pinned Post

NOTE: Blog got reworked on June 16, 2026. Started as a combination rotumblr + pokepagan blog, now mostly a pokepagan + virtual altar blog. If some posts prior to that date seem on the more fantasy/rotumblr side, that is the explanation.

Welcome.

Call me Ansel, or Attenous, if you're feeling particularly formal. I am not here to spread the word of Arceus, for I am not His voice. I am not here to do His bidding, for I am not His arms.

I am here because I want to be, and I want to share my appreciation of Arceus in the ways that I can. Be respectful, keep an open mind, and I will share with you all that I can.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

(<- managed to get several Arceus things on sale. Mind you He never asked me for an altar or shrine I'm just doing this because He brings me great joy and everyone should obsess a little bit over their people I think)

Forgot to update this. I now have several figures (one of them the buildable, posable one that came out not too long ago), and a card.

If I buy a plushie of Arceus, none shall know peace. Least of all Arceus Himself.

#Ansel Shares #Truly it has been the Pride Month of all time #<- is in fact down bad for the very being I walk beside #He is aware of my affection. To be clear.

painfully quick arceus doodle. (yALL fr sleeping on the lasso tool as a sketching technique, shit slaps))

#arceus #murals (art)#I am genuinely impressed. This is some of the best work I have seen of Arceus to date. You clearly put a lot of effort into it.

#blasphemy (memes)#oh to have breakfast with Arceus and earn his ire early in the morn...#this annoyance has taken my entire life to summon.#there are pros and cons to the fact that I do not fear Him in the slightest.#also yes the cheesecake Giratina post is real. He did ban me from sweets for a day.

After much deliberation, if anyone genuinely has questions about my experiences with Arceus, please do not hesitate to let me know.

As my blog intro directly states, I cannot speak for Him, so I am unable to tell you how contacting Him would go or say what His opinion of you is (I may be His attendant, but I refuse to be His mouthpiece), but I have no problems speaking about my connection to Arceus and what my life with Him involves.

My decision to branch further into the pokepaganism aspect of this blog is wholly my own, so any questions aimed at Arceus directly will likely be of some surprise to Him (and likely deleted. as stated directly above, I cannot speak for Him, and find the concept of doing so to be a rather uncomfortable affair unless Arceus strictly requires it of me- which He will not need me to do during the lifespan of this blog).

If I may warn, however, calling myself a 'pagan' is in the loosest of senses. I have tried traditional pagan ways of worship and interacted with several gods from several beliefs, but it was not a very good fit for me.

#arceus #ansel shares #pokemon paganism #pop culture paganism #pokepaganism #pokepagan #pokemon pagan #as an aside: being autistic effects how I interact with entities drastically. hence my incompatibility with many traditional methods.#I do not 'work with' Arceus; I live alongside Him. I am not particularly one for worship but I am very devoted.#I may go through and redo the premise of this blog into more of a spiritual one.

Less rotumblr and more pokepagan for a moment, but Arceus is always so curious about human food.

I think He has firm opinions about flavors of ramen, now.

#ansel shares #it is also fun to find several people in this day and age who are also pokepagans!#though I am... a bit less 'traditionally pagan'? I do what I want #Arceus is a very close and beloved friend of mine. I'm devoted to Him #but it isn't like. worship or anything. not in the traditional sense #you know how wifeguys get REALLY into their wives?? Yeah it's like that #''Ansel are you saying you're married to Arceus'' not yet anyways.#Its kind of like a God of Arepo situation. A little bit.#God of Ansel kind of thing #tags after this added 5 minutes later:#Actually it is very endearing that He has gotten so interested in what I eat lately.#Local Deity Of Every Pokemon takes a break for 5 minutes to snarfle a human treat.#God I love Him so much.

I couldn't wait to meet you

#arceus #murals (art)#the youngest #absolutely stunning work you have done here.

Had to give Professor Laventon and the Medical Corps a complete rundown of HRT thanks to him walking in on me taking my dosage.

I am now considered a medical marvel.

#Ansel Shares #I also had to explain that it goes the other way too. To the Med Corps member whose eyes lit up: I see you sister.#As far as I know this knowledge will stay within the Medical Corps and with Laventon. Which is good.#I do not think some of Jubilife Village would accept a transgender who fell from the sky. Some would though kudos to them.

Apologies for the lack of correspondence these past few days.

I had to quell Lord Arcanine's fury.

I am now banned from the Cobalt Coastlands.

#Ansel Shares #It is hardly my fault if the new Lord Arcanine lets himself be called a cutie patootie.#I was perhaps a little overprepared this time. Tamlin knocked Lord Arcanine out in a single drain punch.#pokemon irl #irl pokemon #irl pkmn #pkmn irl #rotomblr #rotumblr

Arceus does not have bones, by the way.

#Ansel Shares #sharing this before I go out to the Coastlands again. See you all in a few hours.#arceus #irl pkmn #irl pokemon #pkmn irl #pokemon irl #rotomblr #rotumblr

What everyone doesn't tell you about drawing Arceus is that His head??? How???

#Ansel Shares #New respect for everyone who has done this based solely off of words and maybe a temple visit.#I am going off of tactile memory and many photos. How lucky I am to have these.#pokemon irl #irl pokemon #pkmn irl #irl pkmn #rotomblr #rotumblr

trainer493

What do you think would happen if I drew Arceus while He isn't looking.

the-cafe-between-space-and-time

Well, there’s a TON of artistic depictions of Arceus, I don’t think all of them were done with express permission, and a bunch of artists haven’t been smote so I think you’re good.

trainer493

Oh, you misunderstand. I am not afraid of being smote. I am just.. nervous.

#Ansel Shares #I hold myself to a far higher standard of quality when it comes to drawing those I am close with #While He is a grand and great god capable of many holy things #I have seen Him in enough situations that he lands most to me in the 'friend' category of my being #I have no holy endeavors; it is just that I do not wish to wrongly depict a close friend.#pokemon irl #irl pokemon #pkmn irl #irl pkmn #rotomblr #rotumblr

Someone (suspiciously absent from Cyllene's office) stole my rice cakes (Tamlin informed me it was Abra) and now I have to go hunt down a teleporting psychic baby who is refusing to pay for their crimes (they're on the fucking roof), and Tamlin (capable of going up there and restraining them) has no intentions of actually helping me.

#Ansel Complains #irl pkmn #irl pokemon #pkmn irl #pokemon irl #rotomblr #rotumblr #also Laventon can get it but this 44 year old man hasn't realized that yet #Thank Arceus none of them have blogs. That I know of.#Sorry I saw him on my way to look for Abra and I don't think he's aware of being alive just yet.#He had his vest UNDER his shirt. I had to point it out for him.#I may not eat at the restaurant but Arceus can I appreciate a good menu.
