The Ghost of Glimwood Tangle

[TGoGT AU on Ao3]

Not going to promise new content for a bit, but heres some sh!rtposting for you:

Perusing serebii to see where I can find a raid den with a nice-IV gengar in it, and apparently, in the Old Cemetery (Crown Tundra), we have this thing-

Now just about every den in Crown Tundra has a chance for Audino, that's fine, and I am electing to ignore the santa-bird apparently visiting old/ancient graves, but Alcremie? In a den full of teacups and teapots?

Oh gosh, the Pilotlight has been bouncing around in the back of my head since 2014, easy, but I haven’t really figured out how to write miscellaneous headcanons about what kind of story arc Mituna might have had (offscreen, because it is very like me to pick a canonical joke character and go ‘okay but this one is my favorite now what do you mean he shows up on three pages’) and where to go from there. It’s been a very interesting exercise, to say the least; there’s a lot of arbitrary knowledge in the whole AU, including some research dives into bioelectricity and Greek mythology that fascinated me in highschool. I’m thinking for the Pilotlight in particular I will have more than the one central fic eventually to fit all of that in to the universe, but the fic itself reads more like a eulogy. It is narrated from the perspective of everyone else in the Alpha troll’s session, to show how they each think of Mituna (or, in some cases, if they do at all) before we get his perspective on it. It, like TGoGT, is kind of death-focused by nature; that’s just how teenage psychics are, sometimes.

The inspiration for TGoGT was mostly that I took one look at Allister, turned to my roommate, and

Yeah! I’ve only had a chance to read Good Omens properly, but there are definitely Coraline vibes with the button eyes and both have inspired me in bits and pieces.

Also if you guys haven’t already Bea-ind A Sister is a good read, and send some love to @quite-a-sketchione for, ideally, when they come back.

Also-also it’s been a while since I’ve drawn allister so
