If this post gets 10k notes by the end of October then is promise that I’ll (try) and live one more year.

theres a lot of bad tropes that fandoms seem to loooove but one which I have personal beef with is the "protective dad/brother who threatens his daughter/sister's boyfriend to scare him into treating her right" trope and interpretations of it. I genuinely don't know why in the year of our lord 2024 we are clinging to this trope, especially people who otherwise attempt to eschew heteronormative behaviors. In fact I increasingly see people trying to recycle this trope and apply it to their "found family" and "queer" dynamics. I'm sorry but a character's pseudo-sibling threatening their new partner isn't cute, its toxic behavior, and nobody doing this seems to understand the root of this behavior is in the sexist belief that women are men's property, nor do they seem to think about the implication of doing this when the partner being threatened is also being portrayed as queer??? it drives me nuts.

The Zorua and Conkeldurr story felt a little bit lonely, so I decided to give Conkeldurr an old friend. :)

I haven't got their story all figured out yet.. it's mostly just vague ideas..

I was thinking that Emboar and Conkeldurr met when they were very young. They grew up together and had a very strong bond.. At one point or another though, they went their separate ways for a few years. I haven't decided why quite yet.. perhaps the Emboar wanted to have kids and so went searching for a mate? But Conkeldurr wanted to go and explore the lands with his new found strength? Either way, there was no hurt feelings or broken hearts. They knew they would see each other again someday.

And see each other again they did. When Conkeldurr found this Zuora and adopted it, he ended up going back near his home lands looking for his friend. I'm considering that when they split they had both already fully evolved. Which is why Emboar recognized him instantly and why Conkeldurr would flag down the first Emboar he saw. Not Pignite.

Conkeldurr was thrilled to see that Emboar now had 4 piglets!! :D And Emboar was very happy that her dear friend had found this.. little black fluffy thing..? XDD

After this reunion, Conkeldurr and Emboar would stick together indefinitely. Conkeldurr was a new parent and could really use mama Emboars guidance/advice. And with Emboar now having 4 piglets to protect, having a muscle man to back her up was very useful.

But most of all, they were just really happy to be in each others presence again. They missed each other more than they thought they would..

The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!
