okay now that i can finally say it... HAPPY OMON DEATH DAY!!!! WOOOOO!!!! (but like i'm saying it really sadly) :(

so here's an entire dump of ayymon related stuffs (+ some ayy and omon on their own) and my yappings, starting with the digital stuff

3 - literally no kidding the most self-indulgent art i've ever made. omon never died i prommy

okay here's the physical dump

5 - i originally drew this on my thumb but i put it on paper. i took a picture of my thumb but it didn't really look that good so it's not here

6 - on my usb this picture is saved as "my peak.jpg"

10 - ayy and his warped reflection (it's omon. it's just omon.)

11 - dobbiamo scovarlo, pena un accidente!

but i feel like i haven't really explained why i ship them though. remember this post?

i feel like it sums it up pretty well but i'll go into more depth. after episode 1 when quonk and amidd died, they were the two that had to endure all that unova had on their own until kira came along. (i mean bup was TECHNICALLY there for like two seconds but like you know)

both of them have differences in how "lucky" they're seen as. as i mentioned in the post, ayy was meant to be a sacrifice to take down winner's tepig, but quonk was chosen instead. meanwhile, in omon's first battle with that tepig, the two of them had scored 3 crits in a row. i also find it funny that when naming omon, he was all like "wait is that the good one or the bad one? well, it's an omen of things to come."

ALSO, omon was constantly seen as the unova nukes' good luck charm. he would always be a part of the team, no matter they were going up against a gym they were weak to. ayy, however, was swapped out with z when the time came. i've always imagined them having a special bond with each other, no matter if you want to view it as /p or /r or whatever.

ALSO, omon's death. completely out of anyone's control, practically a sacrifice if you think about it. caused by a crit. what was once his biggest strength became his downfall. for the rest of that episode and the finale, the miracle seed/the seed of good omens was seen as a good luck charm to keep the unova nukes going.

not only that, but his influence seemed to bleed into other nuzlockes. when upi's first move was a crit, dan described it as being a "good omen." (it took me until i started watching black 2 to realize what he had done and omg i was kinda freaking out over it.) and when failboat caught a petilil (koila) during the same nuzlocke, talo had warned him due to omon dying to a lilligant. (also saying that it might actually be worthwile to use one, and that they might be strong.) i've always found it interesting that he responded by saying to not judge a pokemon by its species, considering all the stuff with magnemites.

all this yapping to say they definitely had something beautiful and doomed going on so my brain proceeded to latch onto them so hard..... to the point where i made them a playlist!!!! (i needed a segue okay)

there are two versions of this. one is a duplicate of the playlist with the original order i had the songs in, and the other is a readjusted version i made last night that makes more sense in terms of the plot. honestly for a lot of the songs here i have no real explanation for why they're here. they're here just because ig.

(oh yeah and btw idk why but i feel inclined to say this but please don't comment on any musician-related controversies. this is just a fun little playlist for my doomed plants.)

i would put more pictures in this post but i've reached the 30 image limit sooo... yeah. more art maybe in 5 days because that's black 2 finale day. :3
