Celestial-Kyuk0n

Hi, I’m celestial_kyuk0n! 💫(Kyuk0n for short) This blog is my little creative den for Everything Leads to Zero, a Dipplinshipping fic featuring my OC, Lilac.

If you’re curious about her see the tag: #oc lilac eltz intro

I post worldbuilding notes, thoughts on the writing process, and the occasional scribbly drawing (usually when I get feelings). I also share random things that make me happy—usually Pokémon-related, since that’s my special interest—and some personal opinions along the way. I’m making an effort to be more interactive here, even if it’s not always easy for me to start conversations. I still really value gentle, kind interactions, and I want this blog to reflect that. 🌸

Thanks for visiting — I hope you enjoy the story. 💜 AO3 link:

Just a note about my OC, Lilac:

Lilac is a personal OC who carries some of my traits and experiences. I enjoy writing her relationship with the Pokémon SV characters because it feels emotionally meaningful to me, and I ask kindly that no one use her in dark, violent, or explicit reinterpretations (including mature “what ifs” or alternate crossovers). I appreciate everyone who's supported her journey so far. Just wanted to make these boundaries clear. Thanks for understanding and respecting her space. 💜

🤝 Everyone’s Welcome Here

One thing I’d really like to encourage is this:

🌼 Please don’t judge all ships — or all shippers — by the actions of a few people.

Every fandom has:

people who are respectful, kind, and simply passionate

and others who may behave in toxic or hurtful ways

But it’s unfair to assume that everyone who enjoys a certain type of ship is problematic. Most people are just here to have fun, express themselves, and celebrate the characters they love. 💛

I support: ✨ Canon ships ✨ Yume ships ✨ Yuri & Yaoi ships ✨ OC ships ✨ As long as they’re healthy and respectful ✨

💗 And About Lilac & Kieran…

I want to share something personal too.

Writing their story has meant more to me than I ever expected. Through them, I found comfort, expression, and the courage to open up to others. They’ve helped me grow, heal, and connect with people — including many of you. For that, I’m truly grateful. 🌙🍂

🌟 Feel Free to Share Your Thoughts!

If you’d like to talk about: 💬 your ships 💬 your OCs 💬 your comfort characters 💬 your reasons for loving a character 💬 or anything that makes you happy in fandom

Also, “new character arrived on the island?” “Have to do with Kieran and Lilac’s future?” “Fate decided the gender?” “They’re ‘cute’?”

HOLD UP, LILAC AND KIERAN HAVE A CHILD???????!!!!!!

You guessed it! 🤭 Tomodachi Life literally gave me the idea for this new OC. The game created her completely on its own (including her name, thanks to the random options it gives you) and her design turned out absolutely adorable! 🥰

So, everyone welcome Kikyo (or Belle, as her Universal name) straight from the future!

I still don’t know if I’ll actually use her once the ELTZ fanfic is finished, or if I'll create something around Lilac and Kieran's future to give Kikyo/Belle an official role. But I really wanted to show her to you anyway because I’m already so attached to her as an OC! 🥹

I actually made an illustration based on her in-game appearance (though I took a few creative liberties with her design). I also sketched adult versions of Lilac and Kieran in a manga style! However, I can't bring myself to recreate their adult designs in Tomodachi Life because I'm terrified of ruining how they look—I am honestly terrible at customizing Mii details! 💀 But yeah, we are talking about a very distant future anyway.

Also, look at these two GIFs from the game! Kikyo acts so much like Kieran and Lilac! 😭 First Himiko (@tuttiwrites’s Julie and Kieran's daughter) and now Kikyo... I'm starting to think it's a canon event for Kieran to have a future daughter who takes so much after him! 🧬 Disaster duo energy right here.

I haven't decided what to do with her yet, but I just love her design and personality so much, so we'll see. For now, she's just a cute little "What If"! 

Okay, I was playing the new Tomodachi Life just to have some fun, and I stumbled upon these two scenes that I absolutely had to share with you all.

This scene reminds me so much of a magical girl transformation, especially Sailor Moon! 🎀✨ As a fan, I just had to show you because it's so beautiful!

This other scene involves Kieran and Carmine, and it’s just too funny for me—I seriously love these two and their shenanigans! 🤣🤣🤣

Can’t believe Lacey was Mettaton all along.

(I genuinely don’t know if this was intentional or a coincidence, I just noticed the similarities with the King Mettaton ending and the Queen Lacey ‘ending.’)

I hadn't realized how much Lacey's "ending" in the fanfic actually resembled Mettaton's, but yes, now I see it too! And that's pretty much what will likely happen on my Tomodachi Life island very soon.

Lacey is getting ready for her ascension to the throne. Look, I've already given her a crown, just in case. 👑

I decided to make Lilac because, of course I would, and went to introduce her to a couple of my other Mii’s.

During when my OC Lina was talking to Lilac, the latter just casually blew her off and now Lina is upset.

I SWEAR THE ELTZ!PLAYER’S KNOWING TOOK CONTROL IN THAT MOMENT. THE GAME KNOWS SO WELL. I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

Poor Lilac, she can't even escape the Player's Knowing in the Mii universe! 🙈

Time for today's trivia... let's talk about references! 🔎

This chapter is packed with them! The most obvious one is definitely Pyroar acting like Simba from The Lion King. 🦁👑 I absolutely love dropping references because I feel like it makes the world of this fanfic feel so much more alive. There are plenty of them scattered throughout previous chapters too!

I've always wondered what you guys think about them, though. Do you enjoy finding references? Which one has been your favorite in the story so far? (Feel free to pick more than one!) I'd really love to hear your thoughts! 💬

As for Hassel and Drayton... 🎨🐲

I can't spoil anything just yet! But I find their dynamic in the canon material so fascinating, so I absolutely couldn't pass up the chance to dive deeper into it in this AU. 

I really love how all Dragon-type trainers seem to know each other in the Pokémon world—it feels a bit like a big family. Because of that, I feel like Hassel and Drayton could have some really great interactions. Both of them have issues with their generational Dragon-expert families.

Even though Drayton might feel uncomfortable talking about it with Hassel, I think deep down it could do them both some good.

What do you guys think of this dynamic? Do you find it interesting?

If you want to share your thoughts, my inbox is open as always! 💌

P.S. Sorry if I won't be writing much today, but I took a hard hit to my elbow (luckily my left and not my right). Even though it's nothing serious, it still hurts and I was told not to overexert myself. I actually feel a bit sad because I hate not being able to write as much as I want, but I will still do my best to reply to your comments, even if my answers might be shorter.

With only twenty-four hours left to prepare for her upcoming battle against Drayton, Lilac forces herself into an exhausting morning routine in the Terarium. But a day can be longer than it seems.

⚠️Content Warning⚠️: 

This chapter contains:

Depictions of emotional exhaustion, physical burnout, and a brief emotional breakdown/crying fit.

Mild sensory anxiety/overload mentions.

Brief psychological reflections on past loss of body autonomy/mind control.

Say hi, Florian.

She’s on chapter 3 currently. I’m hoping to get back with her tomorrow to see what she thinks!

Oh wow, this is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for recommending ELTZ to your friend, that is incredibly sweet of you.

Welcome to her! 💜 💜💜

1. Do you have any plans for Lilac or the ELTZ cast after ELTZ is complete?

2. If you had stuck to your idea of Juliana being the protagonist, what would it have looked like? Would it have been a similar take on what we currently have, only with the roles of Lilac and Juliana switched around?

As of right now, I don’t have any set plans for Lilac and her friends after ELTZ ends. I do have some ideas bouncing around in my head, but they’re still in the very early stages! To be completely honest, I don’t even know if I’m ready to say goodbye to the ELTZ cast yet, especially Lilac and Kieran, since they both hold such a special place in my heart. 🥹 Let’s just say I’m playing around with the idea of doing something with them afterward, but I’m not 100% sure yet! 

Your second question is so interesting! 🤔 No, originally Lilac and Juliana’s roles weren’t swapped, mostly because Lilac was just my personal player avatar in Pokémon Violet. At first, Juliana was supposed to be the main character of ELTZ and was going to meet an alternate version of herself from Pokémon Scarlet. However, I ended up scrapping that idea because I wanted to focus more on Pokémon Violet. 💜

Part of me really wanted to use Lilac, but my anxiety held me back a lot at the beginning. 😣 I was terrified that people would see her as a Mary Sue, or even worse, find her sensitivity annoying. Unfortunately, in real life, people often tell me to my face that they can't stand my emotional nature and high sensory sensitivity. 💔 I was scared to death that Lilac would get the same treatment from readers since she’s partly based on me, even though she has her own unique traits and experiences.

I think the story would have been quite different if I had used Juliana, simply because her personality is the exact opposite of Lilac's. I’ve always seen Juliana as a more driven and outgoing person—partly due to how I'm used to seeing her in the Dipplinshipping fandom! If she had been the protagonist, she would have had that friendly, study-loving, and discovery-driven personality (which actually stayed a part of her character in the current version of ELTZ). ☀️ She would have put more effort than Lilac into uncovering her roots and the truths of the world. She wouldn't be held back by a hatred for the Violet Book like Lilac is; instead, she would have been fascinated by it! She also would have cooperated more with Briar. Unlike Lilac, Juliana isn't passive, so she would have set boundaries right from the start—something Lilac didn't really do until the most recent chapters. 

Juliana still would have had her low moments tied to her responsibilities and guilt, since she has her own insecurities too, but she would have handled them differently. Her relationship with Kieran would have been different as well. While Kieran can empathize with Lilac to a degree because of their shared experiences, he wouldn't have done that with Juliana until the very end. He would have always viewed her as this tireless sun, someone everyone trusts. I strongly believe that Kieran’s reactions change depending on the personality of the protagonist he faces. The core of his envy and insecurities stays the same, but everything else is shaped by the main character! This is actually something we’ll explore deeper in ELTZ, since future chapters will focus on Juliana’s life in her own dimension before the death of her Kieran. 

I actually wrote the first drafts of the early chapters with Juliana as the main character, but I just felt she wasn't the right fit for this specific story. ✍️ I wanted someone exactly like Lilac, so in the end, Lilac got the role of protagonist, while Juliana shifted to being the Save Files traveler. 

Even today, I sometimes wonder how things would have turned out if I had stuck with Juliana. A lot more people would probably know about this fanfic since it would have featured traditional Dipplinshipping. 📈 But honestly? I don't really care about the numbers. I started writing this story because I simply couldn't keep my creativity locked inside anymore! 💖 Of course, I hope my readers are enjoying it—after all, I think every fanfic author wants their work to be loved. But the most important thing to remember is that you have to be your own biggest and most important fan.  I am writing the exact fanfic that I would love to read, and I'm genuinely happy that I put Lilac and Juliana in the roles they have now. 

Also, fun fact: at the very beginning, Lilac was supposed to be a silent protagonist! She was going to have selective mutism, communicating only through gestures, sounds, and especially through Opaline, who would act as a translator for her thoughts. This trait is heavily drawn from my own life, since I experience selective mutism myself with certain people and in specific environments (I often rely on writing to express myself in those moments). 📝 Originally, Lilac would have spoken normally only with a few characters or in very specific contexts. A small piece of this idea actually made it into the final story, which is why I often describe her speaking in a low or hesitant voice.

Ultimately, I scrapped the main concept because I was terrified I wouldn't be able to portray it well with the little writing experience I had back then (though who knows, this concept might return in the future!). I also decided against it because I really love the fics by an author named @bee-tone, where Juliana is non-verbal. I didn't want it to feel like I was just copying her idea, out of pure respect for her work and how beautifully she handle it. ❤️

The drawing is mainly sketchy and features blood, but not in a “Gorey to be Gorey” way. It’s to represent the bleeding void of Lilac. But due to me knowing that you’re quite sensitive when it comes to those things, I wanted to ask if it’s okay for me to post this. You don’t have to say yes.

Hi! 👋🏻 Thank you so much for asking first, I really appreciate your kindness and respect for my boundaries.

Since you mentioned the blood is purely metaphorical and not extreme gore, I am okay with you posting your art, but only if you use Tumblr’s Content Warning feature to blur the image, along with a written trigger warning for blood in the post.

(Just in case you need it: you can activate the blur using the button you find while creating the post, right next to the button that allows you to publish. By clicking that button, you will have to choose what the drawing contains from the various options. This way you can still publish it, but with the right caution for more sensitive people).

Because my blog is a safe space and doesn't host sensitive themes, I won't be reblogging the piece, but I will definitely drop a comment to support your work once it's up if I feel up to it!

Happy first anniversary of Everything Leads to Zero to all my lovely readers! 🎉🎉🎉

In the final note of the chapter, I probably made you all emotional and reached for the tissues 🥲🧻, but in this Trivia section, it’s time to celebrate a bit with some interesting behind-the-scenes facts about today's chapter.

Happy 1st anniversary of ELTZ to everyone! 🥳🎂

Dear readers, this is a special anniversary chapter. While you can easily skip it or take your time reading it due to its journal-like nature, it is deeply important to me.

So, I truly hope you enjoy it if you decide to read it! However, I also want to ask you to take a break if you feel overwhelmed, as I consider this one of the heavier chapters of the fanfic due to the themes it handles. Thank you so very much to everyone who has read the story up to this point. I hope you will keep following the rest of this journey with Lilac and her friends! 💜

⚠️Content Warning⚠️: Please read responsibly. This special chapter contains themes that some readers may find sensitive or distressing, including:

Deep grief and psychological trauma (depiction of loss, nightmares, and emotional isolation).

Existential dread and identity erasure (characters questioning their reality, themes of manipulation, and unconsented alteration of memories/soul data).
