Baby Shinx

Hey so you all know that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game for the DS that I post about all the time right? Funny story, I haven't actually played it. Until now, that is! Meet Clay, the human turned shinx, and his charmander partner Leo. I'll probably be posting about them more in the near future as I get further in the game and get more character ideas for them, so be on the lookout for that! :D

MAGMAR WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? WHY WOULD YOU TAKE YOUR CHILDREN THERE?? AND HOW DID YOU LOSE THEM IN SUCH DIFFERENT LOCATIONS?? I'M SORRY BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU

Thanks for the tag! I had a lot of fun with this so I ended up doing a few for each member of my Explorers squad

Clay (Shinx):

I don’t know where he would get heels, or why he would have them. But he would absolutely commit to the bit of being REALLY good at using them with paws on all fours

He’s still VERY traumatized from what Dusknoir did to him, and it only gets worse as he starts to recover his memories of the past (amnesia deleted trauma comes back) :(

He completely knocks the wind out of Grovyle when he first arrives in the present after the post game

Leo (Charmander):

He chews on his claws a lot when he’s nervous (which happens often). Even when he becomes more confident later on, it’s hard for him to break the habit

Leo is very sentimental when it comes to holidays and traditions. Decorating his house for them reminds him of so many happy memories he has with his parents.

Anyone who dares to hurt Clay is in eminent danger (Dusknoir is not safe)

Basil (Grovyle):

Running from Dusknoir for most of his life made sleep deprivation a close acquaintance of his, and he almost ODed on chesto berries in an effort to stay awake for 72 hours straight once. He has a difficult time adjusting to maintaining a healthy lifestyle once his life isn't constantly in danger.

He gave Clay as stuffed teddyursa he handmade when Clay was a little kid. He's held onto it for years even after Clay outgrew it.

Lola (Celebi):

Lola is not a large pokemon. Nobody needs somebody who weighs 11 lbs and has the ability to time travel to be amped up on 200 mg of caffeine.

She spend most of her life being unable to because noon didn't happen. Let her enjoy it.

I mean, come on. You all have seen PMD tumblr.

Dusknoir

If anyone asks him about this, he hard denies it every time (he's lying)

I don't have much to say about this one. Maybe Dusknoir was only serving Dialga to cover up his cringey chronically online past

This is probably the song he sings in the shower

I found this site that generates you a random headcanon.... How about we do that: you enter the name of a character (or your OC!), post what you got, and then comment on how true do you think it is for them!

Not true. That was very easy.

The shiny Veluza that immediately used memento in my face comes back to haunt me yet again…

But if it’s the first I actually caught I’m an iron bundle which isn’t much better

I promise I’m not an angsty teen like my daylist is suggesting. I just so happen to like that type of music a lot. I’ve been shifting more towards indie rock in preference recently, but Spotify decided that was not what I needed this morning.

I don’t really have anyone to tag, but if you see this and want to do it feel free! Continue the chain!

Spotify Daylist

I borrowed this from @softlyspector if that’s okay :)

Chapter 28 of The Present is a Gift has entered the building!

We get a Kip POV chapter in this one, and he is VERY CONCERNED about Twig. Read it on Ao3, PMD Fanfiction, or Tumblr here!

This is so funny but also such a good idea that I wish was brought up more. It makes literally zero sense that the hero just instantly adapts to a completely new body and world the day they show up, I’m sorry but they just aren’t built like that. When Clay first shows up he’s falling over constantly due to being digitigrade and quadruped, can’t control his electricity at all, and cannot read or write except for some weird language no other pokemon speak. He still dives headfirst into most situations despite that, and Leo is constantly trying to dig them out of whatever Clay got them into. Everyone around treasure town things he’s a total weirdo, but they don’t have the heart to tell Leo they think that about the one friend he’s made since his parents’ disappearance.

To add on to this a little more, I also have a headcanon that heroes’ emotions are SUPER easy to read due to their body language. They’re not used to having control over their new tails, ears, elemental powers, etc, so they involuntarily show how they’re feeling based off of the movement and presentation of them. For example, my riolu hero OC Milo always gets embarrassed when he’s excited about something because he can’t stop his tail from wagging like crazy. Clay tends to spark up with electricity whenever he’s scared or upset about something.

It’s little things like this that make people’s characters and fics so awesome, it makes the heroes seem so much more down to earth and actually human like they’re supposed to be.

Imagining the PMD Partners as frustrated pet-owners trying so hard to care for their humans is hilarious to me.

Like, Hero is great and all, but they're so dumb. Partner is at their wits end and doesn't know what to do. Turns out, they're not the first person to feel that way!

The various partners throughout the years have written journals and compared notes, resulting in: How to care for your human - The struggle of Partners everywhere.

And it's just filled with nonsense like -

Humans don't have survival instincts. You are their impulse control.

Don't let your human pat every stranger they come across!

How to trick your human into going to the vet!

Teaching humans about hygiene.

How to keep your human happy (results may differ depending on the human)

Teaching your human how to control their fire/electricity/etc.

What to do if your human won't eat.

Teaching your human about their species behaviour (e.g. sunbathing, moulting, etc.)

Make sure your human gets regular exercise.

How to create an enriching environment for your human.

So, you're human is an eldritch horror?

What to do if your human is Gen Z
