And it's for one idea alone... Lucid Mist....

That... God forsaken pink mist... Created from Musharna's own dream mist.... Can completely and udderly mind control the target COMPLETELY. Erasing any and all traits of what makes you, "You..."

And replaces your own sense of self with a soulless, 1950's era-esk shell of your former self...

And the very idea of it... Horrifies me to my very core...

Being stripped of your entire personality... Essentially becoming a forever smiling hive mind...

It scares me... And it doesn't JUST work on humans... Not even Pokemon are safe...

We see it in not just random trainers... But CYNTHIA'S FUCKING GARCHOMP TOO.... it's turned into... An abomination....

And Cynthia herself.... She .. she haunts my goddamn dreams....

So yeah, I've never been able to see Cynthia the same ever since....

Got inspired when I listened to Mr. Buddy’s original theme music for his original-ish character Gal-Vantula, a spiderman-au version of the player character Hilda from Pokémon Black and White. I just love the song (composed by Rush Garcia) and it made me think of the other spider Pokémon that could be turned into spider heroes, and I went with the Pokémon from my favorite region, Alola. Her suit is more designed to look like Araquanid, but I went with Dewpider-Girl because it’s a bit more catchy than anything I could come up with involving Araquanid. I suppose you could also say this character is the female player character from Sun and Moon, just the version with brown hair because you could customize your appearance in that game.

For reference here’s Dewpider, Araquanid, and Gal-Vantula:

Tried my hand at Buddyizing, so I chose my favorite boss man Giovanni and the lovely gal Marnie 🤟🏻✨
