: them being in the same guild means that she could conceivably just scurry over to his platform and be like "why aren't you replying to my post "
this is actually making me wonder if Read notifications technically exist in Grumpearl communications. like you have to be psychically connected to even see the video right.......so do you just get a lil mental ping that tells you someone looked at it but didn't reply? sad sad mommy!
he's nosy but also he's like i dont wanna talk about it MOM.... (turning back into a flower and feeling the weight of soullessness and the empty underground and then being forcibly transformed yet again)
every time folks talk about their experience dropping into the pokemon world there is inevitably firepaw jumping in like "idk man i was doing cat stuff and then OCEAN"
Pyrate Pyraiod
: OKAY SO......short answer is yes. the slightly longer story behind it is that when i first started writing her (9 years ago?? ough..) i was trying to think up a last name for her that wasn't as obvious as just Aether because everyone else in the tumblr RP scene was doing that
i wanted it to be thematically appropriate and also German...so i put Mendel on her page as a joking placeholder (because...because genetics and BEANS...)........but then i never came up with anything else so it stuck forever. i like it now. i think it fits with the similarly on-the-nose names that often come up in Pokemon
Feral Lapdog
: i know he said "hunting" but he also said "catch" so i think she's going to at first mistake him for a Pokemon trainer.....woag...mice must be a very rare Pokemon. never seen it before
....i have to think about how she'd feel about him hunting + eating other Pokemon in BCB.....she is a strict vegan herself and will probably stay that way even in PMD world (until i force her to eat a Rattata for the funnies) but she's also like well...Pokemon should eat like they do in nature.....but there isn't really much natural about this place...?
Feral Lapdog
: I faintly remember that warrior cats is officially based somewhere in the UK(???) which I thiiink fits with "way more people just let their cats outside"
i KNOW she is a vegan and specifically one of those extremely Weird About It and holier-than-thou type vegans....i just feel it in my heart and soul.....she told me herself
i previously played her in Ryslig and she was a strict vegan BUT ☝️ she had zero qualms with eating people. yes she still considered herself vegan. i think this was THE funniest form of her veganism
Lᴏᴏᴘ ᴅᴇ ɢʀᴀ̂ᴄᴇ
: yeah that checks out, i know it was also way more common before the current decade. modern-day cats are very spoiled indoors, but I remember when i was a kid the general sentiment was "you can't expect them to stay in all day when dogs don't"
lusamine is like of course i dont eat honey... those poor combees work so hard to make it [directly behind her is a combee frozen in a big block of ice]
ONE DAY she has to see a Rattata and just enter a feeding frenzy. i have to, it's too funny......and also makes sense because Yungoos is constantly hungry and yet Lusamine refuses to be eating all the time. lady are you trying to enter a feeding frenzy. because that's how you enter a feeding frenzy
i have thought about this extensively actually............ 1. pokemon are too much like monsters too him and it feels weird. 2. even though he's still a little asshole he DID tell frisk "don't kill and don't be killed" so he's TRYING to get better. even if it is just hunting (and firepaw said some pokemon are 'different') it feels like killing.
I admit I have yet to actually decide whether or not Siffrin is willing to hunt so I've just been... not having it come up............. my gut feeling is probably not but also several people they know and like have been hunting and it's not something I'm interested in having an IC conflict about. and. they are theoretically based on a carnivore so ???
Shoka could probably eat meat (headcanon is she has incomprehensible teeth under there) but she just. really likes malasadas and other pastries. so she just eats those all the time FKLJ:LKHH
i say i want Lusamine to enter a feeding frenzy but whenever i do that it will probably just be an attempted one. just that scene from the classic filme Madagascar
i've managed to sidestep the hunting thing so far by 'emmet is consciously doing his best to act as unzoroark-like as possible for reasons', we'll see how that pans out
Lusamine has constant hunger pangs because Yungoos being constantly hungry is apparently just like...a trait of the species? they are big eaters and are apparently just spend all day every day hunting. i think it's a general hunger and not specifically for rats
i just mentioned rats specifically because of the lore where Yungoos was introduced to Alola to prey on Alolan Rattata (which is a reference to the fact that mongooses were introduced to Hawaii irl to counter rat problems) KLGJL:KH
YEP....invasive species are extremely relevant to Lusamine as a character (she is a white woman living in PokéHawaii, the flower she's named after grows invasively in Hawaii irl, AND Ultra Beasts were apparently designed based around the concept of invasive species) so this was a big reason for me making her a Yungoos 😂
[ read 10:02pm ]'Read' 'read what dear. ... ....Read what?? dear??? hello??'
which I thiiink fits with "way more people just let their cats outside"
like yeah of COURSE she is and for strong moral reasons but also,
(I love her)
my gut feeling is probably not but also several people they know and like have been hunting and it's not something I'm interested in having an IC conflict about. and. they are theoretically based on a carnivore
so ???
i played out all my eating people IC conflict threads when I was in Ryslig, I'm satisfied,quick everyone app more slowpoke-like characters
lusamine with a rattata-shaped stomach: no.
lusamine u r a carnivor-
