HMMMmmm so since I’ve been sharing so much about my gijinkaverse headcanons lately, I’m a little stumped on something and wanna run it by y’all for your ideas

Mystery dungeons are absolutely a thing, they’re essentially little pockets of warped reality, usually with fixed entry/exit points, that are constantly shifting in layout within. They sometimes produce treasures, magic works a little differently in some of them (i.e. items you can Only use inside a dungeon) etc but for all the years I’ve had guild-related characters I’ve never actually figured out who the Enemies are. Sometimes it’s an outlaw like the older games having bounties to pick up, but like… ok.

I think “strong foe” encounters and some bosses are basically crossing in Monster Hunter vibes. Big, powerful feral pokemon- that may or may not be real? A lot of them Are but I think also dungeons might just sort of… spawn phantom monsters out of the magic that powers them? A monster house would basically be like the distortions in Legends. But as for like, threats just as you navigate the dungeon itself 🤔 I don’t think there’s As Much activity to have to deal with as there is ingame, considering like. Gijinkas actually putting in the effort of exploring is far more involved and the danger is more in the environment than wandering threats, but what do you guys think of that idea? Dyou think there could be anything else? I don’t know how to incorporate like, People Opponents into this, or if I *should* yknow?

#yessutext

thank you guys for your interest… i’m over here just doing a tour of my sandcastle and when people like it/ask for more i’m so

y’all are totally free to borrow any of these headcanons without saying it’s my universe too, i just have these set up to rp with people freely

Ok well now I’m thinking about gijinka babies, so here: in the games, kids inherit egg moves from their parents. Are babies in your AU born knowing moves their parents know? At what age can they even start using moves?

HMMM I haven’t thought too hard about egg moves Specifically, I think the way I’d brushed by it before is it’s not so much that you’re born knowing it, it’s just in your learnpool if it’s in your genes within a couple generations! It’s another thing that doesn’t have any one way of working but in the MOST TYPICAL of cases, a gijinka is born with their natural Ability/ies and a couple moves that they gradually grow into. These start extremely weak because You’re Baby, and see the most growth during the teen years, which is why challengers as young as 16 can participate in the gym league circuit!

So can legendaries be born from mortal couples, or can they only be born/created from other legendaries? And can they raise/lower their manifestation tier

They can only be born from other legendaries, and a ‘mortal’ can die and become a civilian-tier legendary ghost very rarely. Legendaries absolutely can gain godhood power to ascend tiers, but it’s a HUGE event; there’s been a bunch of attempts of stealing power from each other that have been thwarted by other legendaries’ interference or mortal Heroes and the like.

On the other hand, I haven’t had any examples of a legendary Losing some of their godhood- I think it’s much harder to Take it once they have it, lmao. Momo hasn’t been punished that way though he could have been, and others who’ve failed to ascend just ended up Killed. I think it’d be possible for a legendary to become mortal willingly, though- they’d just have to pass it on to someone else.

Anonymous asked:

So if 2 legendaries can exist at once in different tiers, how would they react to meeting? :0 Would it be more based on personality, where chill ones like Celebi would coexist but more aggressive ones like maybe Giratina might have a less friendly relationship

Totally based on personality- but how they are as an individual, not their species! Some of them might be inherently tense with others that are part of a “group” dynamic but who aren’t their own counterparts, like if a different Cresselia met Moreke worrying that he might be a threat to them, but counterparts don’t all follow the same narratives with each other. He’s got a family with his, but that other Darkrai might want theirs dead, a different pair might be siblings! Meeting legendaries of the same species but a lower tier of their own also depends entirely on them. Most times, they stay well out of each others’ circles, intentionally or not- civilians and mythics don’t get involved in demigod drama because it’s so far removed from them and way stronger than they can deal with.

Also, there can definitely be more than 2- there’s only one full Major God tier, but there could be Several spanning the lower tiers collectively. :3

#yessu answers things#anonymous#gijinkaverse

Also making this its own post, since the original ask was long and this is equally lengthy. From @fortunomancy

Do the children of legendaries work in the same way as it does in the games, where the pokemon type is passed down maternally, or is it more of a genetic toss-up?

Using this opportunity to also share my headcanon about how egg groups work! cw pregnancy talk i guess ?? copy/pasting this first part from my TH lore page <:3c

Egg groups do technically exist. It's easiest for two species of the same group to have children together; those who don't share a group may produce a kid from either one but may have difficulty getting pregnant. Of course there's methods to increase chances, contraceptives, etc.

But there's no hard rule on parentage like there is in-game, where a child only inherits a mother's species. It's most common for a child to inherit either parent's species directly, but mutations can occur where a child is born as a different species in one of their egg groups (if they share one) or something 'combining their features' (if they don't).

  • Examples: Stunfisk with Galarian genes + Milotic = Totodile (all Water 1); Ampharos (Monster/Field) + Hydreigon (Dragon) = Helioptile (Monster/Dragon); Meowstic (Field) + Breloom (Fairy/Grass) = Eevee (Field) with natural Leafeon leaning.

All that is to say regarding legendaries, no- they can be any number of things! They've got an EXTREMELY high rate of mutations compared to the rest of the population, meaning they could inherit a species from one of their parents, but it's just as likely that they could be a completely different legendary or another pokemon.

  • Moreke is a Darkrai, his wife Melody is a Cresselia, they had a Darkrai child first and then their younger twins are a Zekrom and Reshiram. (We considered making them something else to share types with momo and melody, but were too attached lmao)
  • Averett is a Regigigas, his wife Mira is a Dragonair, and when they have children (rather than Averett's previous children just having been "conjured" from his genetic material) they produce Regidrago.
  • If another legendary/non-legend pair were to have children, like, say, Sariel and Maddox (god forbid), they Could have a non-galarian Articuno, or a Snorunt, or literally anything out of the pool of Ice types.

Anonymous asked:

Does your legendaries gijinkas have beast forms? Like, can they transform into actual pokemon form, or heavily took their part on human form?

🤔

mmm.. I don’t want to say None Of Them Can Ever, because I can easily imagine a legendary having the power to shapeshift (Moreke “technically” can, only within his own pocket dimension or in the realm of dreams) but it’s not something intrinsic to them. Typically, this kind of thing is not voluntary and is a very bad sign, like some form of corruption or them reverting into a Primal stage.

Anonymous asked:

Random question but in your gijinka universe is there only one of each legendary?

Nope! :3 Well, sort of- I haven’t gotten around to putting it all on a TH page yet, which will have this laid out in a nicer format but here’s my notes!

  • Legendaries manifest in sort of tiers; Civilian, Mythic, Demigod, Minor and Major gods. It’s truly more of a spectrum, just with range categories. All have extended lifespans, but how they age depends on “tier” (Civilian, 1:1 years, max age ~150 / Mythic, 10:1 years / Demigod, 50:1 years / Gods, 100:1 years) This allows for multiples of various legendary Pokemon. There are only one of each at God Tier, but there can be several Mythics and Civilians.
  • All legendaries can have children, though the further they are from normal mortals the harder it would be to procreate with them. Demigod and higher legendaries tend to only have children with others in their range or create them with their godly powers (i.e. the Regi trio being created as Averett’s children)
  • Legendaries do not have to be born. Any living being can attain degrees of godhood. Civilian legendaries are not stronger than normal mortals by virtue of being legendaries, so “ascending” to be a civ legendary is only really seen in ghosts.

Arceus is the only hard limit I have in my gijinkaverse, with a very specific system for how they exist- I’m still working on the terminology for this, so specifics might change later.

  • Arceus is a step beyond all other gods, existing in their own plane. They do not interact with anything directly, but their “will” to preserve the world and dimensions of spacetime around it is enacted through entities called the Acolytes. They are born from the Plates, their abilities and possible roles determined by the combination of 4 types they personify.
  • There are 4 Acolytes at a time; their natural lifespans are similar to a Mythic or Demigod at the longest. With 18 total Plates, this ‘system’ shuffles types among them to allow for variety in their incarnations. A living Acolyte can give up or adopt Plates. For example, two Acolytes may trade powers with one another, contribute power to the birth of a new Acolyte, or steal Plates for more power.
  • They are not often in contact with each other, but have an innate sense of each other in the world. They also carry very limited memories between incarnations; they are each their own person, and live out their own lives. All that is passed down is knowledge of historical events. An Acolyte may be able to commune with past lives tied to their respective Plates to learn more about them, if they so desire.

Here’s the thing. Practical self-care, such as showering, feeding yourself, talking a walk, cleaning your space, getting rest, ect. will not solve every problem you have. Especially the big, serious ones. But it will solve a ton of smaller problems that are building up, adding to your stress, and using the energy you need to cope with those big serious problems.

You can feel as awful as you want, just eat a sandwich first.

Those tags are AMAZING. Someone finally identified what felt so hard about this to me. It ISN’T a victim complex. It’s an expression of profound frustration and pain.

The un-fun self care is really no more than this: giving the “soft animal” of your body (thx Mary Oliver) what it needs to survive. To take actions to give it the basics, so the body itself feels a little better. That alleviates enough some days to feel pretty okay.

Folks: Back in June the Biden administration also made it possible to claim LOAN CANCELLATION for over a hundred predatory for-profit colleges. Thousands are illegible for total relief-- return of money paid, and credit score readjustment. Now that other student relief action is in the news a LOT of people are just learning about Borrowers Defense.

This is, obviously, amazing, but CRUCIALLY, if your school is listed here, you have to apply for the cancellation. This is NOT automatic. This is a payout from a settlement based on a government suit against the conglomerate running these schools. I urge everyone who has outstanding student loans to go to this website and APPLY FOR A SETTLEMENT. YOU HAVE TO APPLY.

ASAP there is a deadline.

THIS IS THE LINK YOU WANT.

No, kids should not have unsupervised acess to the internet.   Yes, I got that and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.    Its a paradox.

penrosesun

It’s not a paradox – it’s a different net.

When we were kids, the internet was a sandbox-style open world – full of dangerous things, yes, but also nearly unlimited potential – and we learned to be careful, and we learned fast, and we learned fairly well.

Now, the internet is a series of black box silos built by corporations to maximize engagement at the expense of everything else.

I may have seen Two Girls One Cup by accident and at the tender age of ten, but I never had to deal with companies using gambling-addiction-creating strategies pioneered in literal casinos to try and make me hand over hundreds of real dollars at the same age. I may have been exposed to vicious bigotry in anonymous and pseudanonymous messages boards, but I never had algorithms spoonfeeding me explicitly far right radicalizing content. The blithely unfettered access people of our generation had is just genuinely not the same as what kids with unsupervised access are getting today.

problemnyatic

There were also like… actual places for kids on the internet back then. Real ass websites full of engaging content geared towards children that was made by actual people who cared about the product.

The corporate internet has pretty much leveled the majority of it and what hasn’t been leveled has largely been turned into advertising. All that’s left is horrific bot-generated content and advertisements and algorithmic slop. The rest is the Adult Internet.

There’s fewer curios and neutral spaces, fewer forums, fewer places that are topic-specific- it’s all on youtube or social media or tiktok or whatever. It’s all the corporate net, where algorithms and advertisers are enacting agendas on their users literally constantly.

Before, unsupervised internet was dangerous because you could find anything out there. Now it’s dangerous because of what you can’t avoid.

Anonymous asked:

So are gym battles 1 on 1 or is it more of a squad type deal?

It'd come down to house rules since a leader can run their gym however they want, but typically challenge battles are 1-3 people at a time, up against the same unless they waive it- like a really confident solo challenger or a strong duo could take up to 3 of a gym's team if they wanted. I think for the sake of like... not making an enclosed space too dangerous and risking friendly fire battles are never more than 3v3. Of course an entire team of six is typically *allowed* to fight for the course of the challenge, but you have to tag in/out or take the place of someone who gets knocked out.

Anonymous asked:

Is there a general percentage chance of a gijinka showcasing unusual traits? (ie tails/claws/ears/etc)

oh absolutely not LMAO i wouldn’t have any damn clue how to put that into statistics, and beyond “oh that’s interesting” there’d be no point. it’s open specifically to allow different types of artists and designers to inhabit the world, like some people pretty much never make kemonomimi types, some people always do, and me personally i just go with what’s fun with a design case-by-case.

The only likelihoods I’ve put into the world are regarding Orre, Kalos and the custom region me and dan put together called Vorzhe; in order you’ve got much higher rates of gijinkas manifesting as “classical superpower” types, witches, and “monster” types like Frederick.
