#maciel

Realized I need to get some sort of visual references down for more of my trainer ocs, so here's some concepts for Maciel and Lena in Orre!

I'm feeling pretty solid on Lena's overall look, but I'd really like to move Maciel away from looking Exactly like Pokemon Colosseum's trainer insert... I'm getting there though, bit by bit. (It's hard when I'm so obsessed with Wes's look as it is lmao)

Bonus: Maciel without the goggles.

A Mexican singer promoting his song with Camren... and then they say that's us with the craziness

não me apaixono fácil

HA HA quem eu quero enganar?! me apaixonei no segundo em que você segurou minha mão. pensei que não seria nada mal, se todos os dias fossem assim com o seu corpo entrelaçado no meu de todas as formas que é possível se entrelaçar a alguém da alma aos pés das línguas as mãos com as roupas jogadas no chão o mundo girando apressado o resto das pessoas sofrem e adoecem enquanto adoço os lábios nos seus e permaneço, nos seus braços nos seus beijos no seu quarto. e ao te observar dormir nada disso importa calmaria paz tranquilidade me invadem e o resto do mundo que se exploda porque ali, naquele instante, tenho o seu universo inteiro só pra mim.

I've passed the 10k mark on my colosseum fanfic for Maciel! Soooo... I wanted to celebrate by posting a few snippets of adorable umbreon and espeon Hijinks™️ :)

[Image text: I wrote out 'how the legendkeepers cast react to Kamado's Banishment in PLA' can I copypaste that here to share?]

Satsuki - hurt, teary, 'I worked hard, I didn't do anything wrong here, this isn't fair' type of angle. Takes being escorted with some grace but is Dissatisfied with the outcome

Ren - 'haha wow Kamado you had me going, didn't take you for a prankster b-- oh. Oh you're serious. Oh, mb. ......can I at least take my gear with me on my way out?' Handles being escorted compliantly enough

Aya - pulls Rex on Rose level violence, but gets Thrown since Kamado has far more years of training. Takes the escort kicking and screaming the whole way

Maciel - shoots some counter retorts, may stare down Kamado for a moment before giving up on it. Storms out

Touya - Disappointed™️ in Kamado. It doesn't change anything but Kamado walks away somehow feeling lowkey chastised even if Touya doesn't argue too much against it /silly. Takes the escort with no complaints so long as they let him get the egg gear and eggs bc you Know he'd introduce this concept Immediately

Lena - either slaps or just hits him once across the face*. Expresses that he is a terrible leader, to make such a decision when it has proven time and again that working together is The Solution - including alongside pokemon. Leaves without further fuss but has clearly lost respect for Kamado.

Kimmie - v loud, full of disbelief and indignant at this turn of events. Might make a comment about how following superstitions won't get them anywhere. Fussy about being escorted out but goes with it

Xav - meets Kamado with a deadeye stare from start to finish. Leaves without a word.

Rex - see Aya above. Only slightly less feral as he's escorted out

Aspen - if he makes it this far? Cries. Leaves village still crying

Natsumi - seems mildly inconvenienced and leaves without much fuss (is actually a lot more upset than they let on)

*I do think with Kamado's training she wouldn't normally get one in, BUT - Lena also does not seem like the type to do this in the slightest (unlike Aya or Rex) so I figure she gets one in on the grace of it being so out of nowhere.

Bonus round since this prompt predates a few of the cast:

Sumire - Like Aspen, may not get this far (though she'd get furthest out of the ones who Wouldn't)- but if she does, starts crying mixed with an anxiety attack, but is also angry in the midst of all that. Wants to retort or make some well-thought out point like the others but it most likely gets lost in stuttering and sobbing, unfortunately. Lets herself get escorted just calmly enough to barely hold back further sobbing/hyperventilating.

Dust - would likely get further than Aspen, but again is unlikely to get this far. If they do, they're stunned speechless for most of the Commander's decree. Most likely the type to be like "you can't do this to me" once she finds her words - not necessarily in an aggrandizing fashion, but definitely wasn't expecting this, with some level of pleading mixed in. Leaves the village in a state of shock, moving slowly and likely has to be urged to hurry up.

Troy - she gives Commander Kamado an icy stare through it all - and most likely had seen this coming. Is not surprised, but is still very bitter. She likely makes a sharp comment about the village getting on without her help, and is annoyed at the escort because it holds her back from leaving in a huff if anything.

[Image text: outside of Rex since he kind of canonically does already, who are most likely to throw down against pokemon without using another pokemon (either because they Want to or because for some reason the situation may call for it, like a defeated team-]

Sumire: She'll do it scared. But if in the heat of panic she thinks that's the way to go then she absolutely will. Will only physically engage pokemon long enough to get out of situation, max

Ren: 50/50 chance he will or he won't even if the situation is the same every time. He prefers not to but second-guesses whether it's the better option or not depending

Aya: she smacks Rayquaza's nose on the regular for getting feisty for its snacks, tell me what you think /lh

Satsuki: Never. Also likely hasn't been put in a position she would feel like she had to. Usually able to think her way out or wait for help with all of her powerful connections.

Ritsu: I mean what difference does it make really if he's human or fire shrew. He prefers to sort things out peacefully but he's stared down gods of myth as a baby rodent of course he won't balk at wrestling a pokemon as a grown human.

Maciel: he tries to avoid it out of self-preservation but that killswitch of a fight instinct of his is pretty fucking strong so he rarely does it the way he'd like.

Lena: she'll follow maciel's lead... for better or worse lmao. Pretty neutral on the subject, but she's trained with her pokemon before so it's nbd even if she forgot she did that

Touya: he will Not, on principle. However he does know how to appear intimidating/threatening enough that it wouldn't have to come to that anyways.

Dust: I feel like they've tried just to get their ass kicked. She decided never again lmao

Kimmie: Not likely. If she did, this pokemon would have to be like. Murdering in front of her or something I feel like... not that she'd be very effective even if she tried, mind you

Xav: he'd rather just let it beat him to a pulp

Rex: you already know

Aspen: he'll sooner cry himself into fainting first I think - even if it's just crying over the idea of hitting a pokemon

Troy: absolutely not. She has Standards.
