Been meaning to ask, what /did/ inspire your reading of dadnoir?
I like it a lot, i even use it, but i got it from you and i want to know more about what inspired you to write it?
Hihi!! I am more than happy to explain it :3
Admittedly at first I really wasn’t thinking too much about Ribbons/Aimilios’s relationship with him. I was also originally of the opinion “Oh those three would just hate eachother like some sitcom but tolerate the other’s existence for Grovyle/Celebi’s sakes” But that was before I made this art piece.
(Ironically the first one I did of those three before the madness deadass consumed me)
I was originally drawing with my feelings towards Dusknoir in mind (Which was absolutely trusting and loving the guy before he did the whole betrayal thing. And hating his ass) but something about it legitimately made something click. There was such an interesting, complicated, and tragic relationship to be had with those three. That had so much god damn potential for interactions/dynamics/angst that I saw equal to the whole Grovyle/Dusknoir’s uneasy truce in EP5.
“What if Aimilios(partner) wasn’t the only Pokémon who looked up to Dusknoir, but Ribbons did, too. And even more unfortunately, Dusknoir going from playing the role of their “friend”, only then get attached to them, too. Causing a whole mess of internal conflict while those two are snuggling up to him.”
Now, before I get into this next segment, I’d like to preface that I’m aware that it was never the writers intention to imply or insinuate a relationship between those three. This is just a veryyy fun what-if scenario that is unintentionally backed with some context if you squint at certain segments. I frolick in the field of headcannons and different interpretations because it’s fun, and I don’t like trying to justify the dadnoir Au’s existence over and over again with ‘ahhh sorry guys I know this is ooc :(((((‘ and am very much past that phase. I have nothing to apologize for, and neither should you if you enjoy the hc! and will now unapologetically enter my joker arc 👍
(I am also okay with people not liking /enjoying it! We can still be chill :3 so long as you don’t actively try to put the hc down out of sheer disdain. Other than that!! Cheers to the folks who don’t understand or even like Dadnoir, who are still willing to hear me out! (And even the ones who don’t and respectfully click off this post!)
Long Dadnoir Tangent undercut
—
1.
Worrying over Hero/Partner genuinely even though there’s virtually nothing to gain from saving two random Pokémon who you’re gonna leave in a world of ruin regardless.
2.
Defending those two while showcasing both sides of Dusknoir (where he’s willing to be merciful to the Manectric, but fight on behalf of Hero/Partner after what Team Skull pulled.)(if he was just an overly cynical, unbearable asshole why is he even bothering with this)
3.
While this is absolutely leaning more towards him making sure they’re alright so he can prepare to officially and personally execute them, I think it’d be more sweet if this was more of a slip of the tongue on his part. “Hoho! Farewell little, vulnerable Pokémon I’ve gained a small attachment to. Wait what.” (WHILE I DONT HAVE THE SS, if you talk to him again, he tells them to be careful. Again.)
4.
I remember a post from @defendglobe that was equivalent to “did he seem more uncomfortable with praises now that he knew he was basically deceiving everyone” and I love that take so much that I’m putting it here.
5.
Ohhh Crystal Lake. How I love you.
Another instance. Where Dusknoir absolutely could have let everything play out. Get rid of 1/3 of his targets while incriminating Grovyle even further as a villain. He knew who partner and hero were at that point. He knew his mission. And yet he acted. It’s so hilarious how similar this and Dusknoir pushing Grovyle out of the way of the stalactite in EP5. My ghost in Christ you could have gotten rid of them so much sooner.
6.
I fucking loooove this little scene so much. How Mespirit and Uxie go over to Azelf in pure worry. How close they get near them. How Dusknoir Hero Partner have the same interaction, yet the renowned explorer keeping physical(emotional) distance away from them. How it’s exactly three Pokémon checking up on eachother in back-to-back scenes.
7.
I Don’t think I Need a Screenshot for the elusive “Well… this is… good-bye… Or is it? Scene; BUT. Something I never considered was him stalling bc I thought he was being a theatrical asshole and pausing for dramatic effect during his betrayal. But i remember a post of someone saying the “…”‘s in his dailouge almost felt like he was hesitating and. Shit. that makes me so insane.
And now, onto the angsty future bits.
Again, Dusknoir absolutely did the shit he did to those two. And I don’t want to take away from it by softening the blow or woobifying him. If anything, the previous explanations/Dusknoir enjoying his time with them(and Vice versa) adds onto the tragedy and angst so much more and I love it. From this point on he is as cold and calculating as he is in game. I only hc the moments of hesitation during the Stoneship fight.
8.
There is something so genuinely heartbreaking about partner’s denial throughout the entirety of the Paralyzed future segments. The refusal to admit that Dusknoir was a horrible Pokémon, and clinging onto hope that he was still good.
AND THE GOD DAMN TEARY EYED SPRITE. YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS UP. HE LOOKED UP TO DUSKNOIR SO MUCH AND FELT SO BETRAYED.
And the implications Hero gave up too from Partner’s words alone. The fact Hero has no dialogue after Dusknoir revealed just how cruelly and easy it was to manipulate them.
And just. Partner’s teary-to-determined sprite pipeline after *finally* getting their shit together and realizing the truth. That they need to stop defending him and be there for Hero. I am going to die. Badly.
And even after all that Dusknoir put them through. Partner doesn’t just go “yeah lmao pretty much” and reels back on calling him heinous and wicked even though that was absolutely justified.
Like. God there’s so many crumbs that made me realize on rewatches that the concept had actual merit and potential. And I love it so so dearly. There’s so much potential oozing and fun to be had with Dusknoir being close to those two (or any other Pokémon you see fit.) regardless of Celebi and Grovyle that can work. I still think futuretrio is an amazing dynamic and trio of Pokémon.
And i am also of the opinion of him only rarely showing devotion and care for Pokémon he loves. But still is fairly respectful to randoms he doesn’t know as well. And I think it not being solely restricted to Grovyle/Celebi can can make for some really sweet dynamics. Again, I love Grovyle/Celebi/Dusknoir so much. And Ribbons/Aimilios/Dusknoir’s relationship makes me equally as insane if not more.
It’s why I adore it when I see Dusknoir x oc or Dusknoir x sona’s in the fandom that are unapologetically lovey. I hold hands and continue to love whatever new future trio art my mutuals/friends have in store. I appreciate majority of this fandom for it’s open mindedness and kindness.
And on one last note, the reason why the concept of Dadnoir appeals to me so much, is explained so masterfully by one of my good friend’s @gaydiation-poisoning that I will now share with you all
^^^ they’ve been on the dadnoir train for the longest out of anyone I’ve ever met (EVEN ME.) and they put it. So well. (Without even mentioning the pure drama and bittersweet tension upon his return to Treasure town.)(Like fuck man. The idea of Hero/Partner slowly learning to retrust him after… everything. Emotionally and Physically. The time it’d take. The conflict and continued back-and-forth dynamics between them. and the one ghost who desperately wanted to live in retribution for their lives; trying genuinely, no stings attached this time, to try and reconnect with those two.) [not even mentioning the fun switch up of famous explorer + two recruits trying to impress and get close to him, vs famous explorer(s) + fallen from grace explorer trying to get close and rekindle a tainted relationship.] take these three away from me they make me sickkk
And I really hope I, alongside the many others who’ve adapted this hc, can inspire u to keep loving whatever you want anon. Regardless of how in-character or out it may seem. Don’t be afraid to make what you love.

Will say it again but this turned out freaking amazing, it's so cool seeing this scene come to life >:3
Also for you all who have no clue what this is, this is a Comm I got from good friend Fuji of my own pmd fellas, Team Rune, who are made up of Cylla the Zorua and Livia the Hisuian Sneasel. (I will probably show off more about them in the future when I get the time to do so)
(quick plot summary for context)
Livia is an apprentice archeologist, and Cylla is our hapless human who appeared in front of her one day, with no memory of anything from before that moment at all. Cylla joins up with Livia to help her and maybe see if together they can figure out what's going on. as well as investigate the various ruins and strange anomalies that have been mysteriously appearing around the world recently. (essentially ancient devices going haywire and beginning to warp reality more and more as time goes on)
This scene happens later on in the story, this is the moment when Livia realizes that if they do stop those ancient devices, while it will stop things from getting worse and reverse the damage done, it also means that Cylla will disappear along with everything else, as her appearance was also tied to said machines. and well, you can see her reaction to that in the amazing art Fuji did. (also Cylla pieced this together a good while earlier then Livia did and was keeping it a secret this whole time, having already resigned themselves to said fate)
I've always wondered what would have happened in pmd if the partner ever learned that the main character would disappear before it happened, and this whole scene is the result of that thought >:3
Took me only a few months to finally get these done (haha)

*you walk over and boop the snoot of Ripple, slightly startling him*Ripple: h-hello, why, why did you do that?*Ripple looks at you, a mix of confusion and curiosity on his face*
hello! so, one of the reasons i had disappeared before for a while was actually because i was making this!
this massive piece is something i made for the Project Arrhythmia art contest that the voting is going on for it atm, which you can check out everyone’s awesome art at:
https://forms.gle/MxMZPNReeWFiDwMSA
so the piece itself is a giant drawing of HAL aka the player in Project Arrhythmia, how they look in game is just a square with three smaller squares following behind them to show you your health. But for this piece i took each section of them and themed it around PA and the first three bosses that the game will have.
if you wanna have a closer look at each of the squares of HAL i did you can view them with the keep reading thing bellow.
the main square (which in the game is your hitbox)
your third health point, themed around the third boss, Torai
your second health point, themed around the second boss, Hebi
your first health point, themed around the games first boss, Para
Coale: and while i may find grievance with some of what they do, i also do have a lot to thank them for...*Coale begins to get lost in his thoughts again, though your hear a faint yawn from another part of the cave*
Ripple: w-who’s here?..(Ripple is now awake and able to be asked!)
Square: Cause they’re a small shape that can express stuff? Idk, i think that’s the best i got. Coale: Well at least it is better then some of the other names you’ve come up with for things… Square: Hey! Rude. I’m great at naming things.(Hello everyone! sorry it has been so long since my last post, a lot of stuff came up and kept me busy for a good while there. but anyway, i’m back now, so yay more updates!)
Square: and before you say it they aren’t ears either. i don’t really know what they are but i definitely didn’t always have them, i wonder sometimes if they have something to do with me getting older or maybe something else? but either way they just kind move on their own depending on my mood.

(hey! so i currently have no asks to work with, so please if you have any questions at all for Square or Coale please feel free to send them in! it would be seriously appreciated!)
By any chance, did you make the project arrythmia level coalesce?
(mhm! Coalesce was the first full level i made in Project Arrhythmia, took about two full weeks of just working on the level pretty much, still really proud of it and happy a lot of people seem to really enjoy it!)
:O Square!! Hey there buddy!! What’re you doing here?
Coale: honestly i would rather she didn’t though...Square: too bad, i promised i would make sure your doing alright while they aren’t around to check in with you.
Coale: the ocean is fairly close to here as well. sometimes it is nice to just rest by the shore and listen to the waves, it is very calming...you feel as though somethings out of place...

*Coale looks at you, a confused expression on his face*
*He looks behind him an realizes what the anon was saying*Coale: oh, i see what you are talking about, those are just Ripple’s plushes, he is quite attached to the both of them.
Coale: it is surprising i did not find him sleeping with them before.
