Song - If We Hold On Together by Diana Ross

Primary character focus - Kenji/Tracey Sketchit, Shinomiya Natsuki, Kashuu Kiyomitsu, Kogarasumaru and Ikaruga Misumi

So, I made this for Kenji Day last month and forgot to upload it here.

But here is an AMV I made. The song used is an instrumental of Forever Young from the second Care Bears movie.

So, I have shared in the past the version used in the TV series of Madeline where in the Japanese dub she was voiced by Otani Ikue (best known for voicing Pikachu).

But turns out in the specials she was voiced by Kobayashi Yuko (who voiced Shigeru/Gary in Pokémon), who later went on to voice Miss Clavel in the third season of the TV series.

Been getting plushies of Pokémon Trainers too. The Tracey one is super tiny and was commissioned years ago from latiasylveon on LiveJournal. The rest are all official, including the Chokkorisan plushies of Ash and Misty. (Might have lost them while Dad was moving house, so I recently got another Misty and will soon have Ash again too. Thinking of also getting Nurse Joy.)

The plush of Gloria, Leon, Raihan, Dawn and Serena are larger plush, so while they have the chains to use them as mascots, they’re larger than your typical. Gloria was my first out of that collection and I was legit impressed! I am still impressed by the attention to detail regarding the sponsors on Leon’s cape!

The smaller mascots of May, Lillie and Marnie are from the Pokémon Trainers collection linked to Masters EX, and the ones of Juliana, Grusha, Nemona, Arven, Penny, Rika and Iono are from the Paldea collection (Brassius arriving this week and I’m still getting Florian while hemming and hawwing about Larry - would have absolutely got Hassel if he had one though) and you can get Rika’s plush in Masters EX too.

Even the smaller ones don’t skimp on details! Also, their triangle pupils are strongly reminding me of my Misumi plushies. So cute!

I made a celebratory thread on Twitter, so I’ll link it here. Feel free to pop over and give it a read!
