Artfight defense made for me by _sakura_draw_ on insta 🙏

She’s in a slowburn relationship w/Colress that starts out with them sharing a lab and her being annoyed by him until she realizes hes not asking questions to be annoying hes js interested in everything. She ends up reluctantly letting him volunteer to test the base solutions in exchange for helping him with his research (and honestly js cause hes curious). Then they end up helping each other with their research because their scientific skills are in different fields :)

Dynamic is they like teaching each other stuff and letting each other into their lives. They’re both big over-workers and spend way too much time in the lab than they should, often skipping out on sleep.

Calotrope dresses a lot of wounds for him bc of her outdoorsy experience (and the fact she’s preforming the acid experiments. He explains anything she wants in as many ways as it takes for her to understand— often explaining abstract concepts through tangible objects or sketching them in the dirt or whatever’s nearby.

He helps with graphs and probabilities that she’s just not particularly great at and she teaches him how to read and understand more animal-like pokemon, like specifically a mischievous togedemaru he’s trying to get cooperation from.

Calotrope likes how animated and excited he gets about science—both the stuff he knows about and the stuff he doesn't—and how he's genuine and doesn't push boundaries when informed of them. She really likes that he genuinely wants to learn and that after a hypothesis is proven wrong, he’s just excited to know the “correct” answer and the method to get there. She likes that he does nice things for her without expectations that other people typically come with.

Colress finds her interesting initially because of how prickling she is with people but good she is with pokemon just intuitively. Eventually evolves into him being interested that the prickliness seems to just be defensive and that shes got a lot of odd behaviors that are difficult to predict but that are signs of her caring. He likes learning her different small tells and how she unintentionally reflects the pokemon she’s studying.

And they both like that each person studies the other and remembers details about them that they don’t even really notice about themselves. Calotrope makes extra coffee in the morning, Colress makes two servings of food, they organize stations for each other, and they give their observations which are usually pretty helpful because they see different perspectives in each other’s research. They like watching science documentaries together and talking through them the whole time and just kinda existing in the same space doing their own things together :)

Basically they’re just a comfort ship for me (non-yumeship), I made this blog because I’ve got so much info on them im probably going to start posting comics 🤞

Got inspired by a post and spent yesterday making Calotrope battle intros

The first one is supposed to mimic the USUM style of battle intros, the bottom mimicking Legends ZA intros, and the middle one kinda being a mix ^^
