I looooove the shit that's like
"You have the power to possess me and take over my body but you don't because you respect me"
because it can lead to
"I'll let you possess me and take over my body when necessary because I trust you"
and then it can lead to "I actively want you to possess me and take over my body because it's fun and I trust you"
Had these sitting on my phone for a while, enjoy
Sunflora and McIntosh would 100% be friends on AO3 and Tumblr (if they were available), but would have no idea they know eachother irl
got this question in strawpage and it genuinely left me thinking for a while
its essentially impossible to come up with stuff for these two without leaving speculation to go straight into headcanon territory, but it's especially hard to me to think what would make Celebi appealing to a specific character, because she gets so little to do in the game...
My best bet would be that, much like with grovyle, he would also admire celebi's strenght, resilience and unwavering will? I think she could light up his days the same way she does grovyle's. I do wish we had anything more than celebi calling him a "coward" in a very specific context. You can barely argue that adjective has any deeper meaning when dusknoir's plan is literally hide behind grovyle's corpse to surprise hero and partner, the "coward" feels too apt for the situation to go much deeper.
(We dont even get to see why Grovyle likes her in the game, we see them after they've become inseparable, and thats only really apparent in se5, bc in the main story grovyle just says shes a bit weird and celebi teases him sometimes. i wish we had more clues of how they behaved in regular environments)
tbh my fav thing for them is having them separated and only coming together because of grovyle. they both revolve around him, so they find common ground in it, and their love for him is what pushes them to open up to each other. it's what makes the most sense to me considering that dusknoir does not even verbally acknowledge her in the main story. id say itd be suspicious if it wasnt bc of 2000s misogynistic writing.
i have an exam tomorrow so this problem became more urgent
Takes a few hours to get the basics down, but Blender's a solid program for mocking up PMD fanart references. Really helps you understand how these characters exist and move three-dimensionally; well worth the learning curve
Here's the guide I used:
Another example. Reworked an old thumbnail sketch for this one
i doubt this holds any interest, because they are such a minor character, but i would like to bring Spiritomb to attention, even though their relationship with Dusknoir is very vague? If only because it is a character that rarely gets talked about, despite them being one of the only Dark Future Pokémon we ever meet, even taking the place of the prototypical pokemon in that time during Episode 14.
I think their vague status between "random Dark Future Pokémon" in the main story and then "dusknoir's servant" in se5 can make a fun example of how Dusknoir treats regular pokémon in his native time (i know the doylist explanation of why spiritomb is here is probably character economy, reusing concepts from the main plot to make the plot tidier, but let me ramble for a bit). Or, at least, it helps emphasize the casual cruelty dusknoir is able to display at this point.
When I say I get emotional over Special Episode 0, I mean it. Now, have an omake because I cannot be emotionally vulnerable for more than 3 images at a time
