Random doodles again

Also messing with some hairstyles and outfits for the most part

Ruthen @blueweirdness

I’m not that creative when it comes to ethnicity headcanons (Hoenn is Southern Japan, Sinnoh is Hokkaido, Kalos is France, etc.) except for when it comes to some of my favs, but if I had to name a few characters off of the top of my head…

Eusine, Jasmine, and rival Silver are all half Italian/Kanto (Kantoese?)

Giovanni is pure Italian (it’s kinda in the name…)

Janine is half Kanto/Johtoese. That may seem redundant, but the regions of Kanto and Johto have had a long history of fueds, so Janine’s conception at the time would’ve been deemed controversial

Speaking of, Koga is actually from Johto. In a classic Romeo & Juliet fashion, Koga left Johto with his lover to live with her in Kanto

Morty is half German/Johtoese. This would also be deemed a bit controversial in Johto during his conception

Agatha is pure German, her family immigrated to Kanto when she was little. Kanto is a lot more open to immigrants/other cultures, unlike Johto

Steven is half Egyptian/Hoennese

Winona is Kalosian. She is not aware of this as she was separated at birth from her parents

Roxie is part Galarian. In fact, she and Piers (along with Marnie) might share a distant ancestor

Grimsley and Caitlin are half Galarian/half Sinnohese. They are siblings separated at birth, but only Grimsley is aware of this. If he told her the truth, she would not believe him, as she’s considered royalty in Galar and was raised by her father to believe he wouldn’t dare intermingle with “common folk”. Truly, their parent’s history is shrouded in mystery.

Arti (I refuse to call him by his english name) is half Italian/half Kalosian (dont ask me why I have so many Italian headcanons idk either I’m not even Italian)

Hachiku (I also refuse to call him by his english name) is mixed Johtoese/Hoennese, but was born in Unova

N may be a little bit of everything. Kanto, Sinnoh, Kalos, you name it. Arceus knows how that happened.

AZ, like Steven, is half Egyptian on his mom’s side

Riley and AZ (along with Sir Aaron and Lysandre) may be indirectly related. The Aura user’s bloodline shares ties with AZ’s younger brother’s bloodline. Thus, Riley is part Kalosian

AZ and Ghetsis (along with Lysandre) may be indirectly related as well, though Ghetsis naming N after a letter would’ve been pure coincidence since Ghetsis would not be aware of AZ’s younger brother being his ancestor. Ghetsis barely keeps track of his own ethnicity, but he’s pretty sure there’s some Kalosian in him

Guzma is mixed Latino/African American/Alolan

I had a dream that I was playing a weird-ass platformer game that had an art style that felt like a mix of No Straight Roads and Psychonauts, and I don't recall much about the plot except it was about some conflict involving the head of a divine pantheon. The color palette was very blue and white, like it took place in the sky.

There was this lesser villain named Ruthen who was either a lesser goddess or a mortal who became a goddess. Her upper body was covered by clouds and her lower body was connected to some really big thing. IIRC it was a giant stone structure, either a machine or a city. I figured her character design was really interesting, so I drew it.

Maris!Natasha

She squirms around uncomfortably. "Why would I... make goats? I mean... I have nothing against goats, goats are cool... The same way I think all animals are cool. Not because I have a special connection to goats.

Sylvana

Sure! Then I give the goat-shaped pretzels to Ziggy. It always makes her giggle.

Enchant!Natasha

Not really? It seems fun but like, I used to eat my food as fast as I can. If I didn't, older kids would take it from me. And I imagine if my adoptive mother caught me playing with food she wouldn't stop complaining how inappropriate that behaviour is. Goats are cute though.

Nocturknight

She throws a pretzel to the air and swungs her sword a few times with such speed, the blade turns invisible. A moment later a perfectly detailed goat-shaped cookie falls into her hand, made of pretzel dough.

Ruthen

"How did you even..."

Nocturknight

"Magic."

DR!Natasha

Finishes chewing a pretzel to be goat-shaped.

DR!Vess

Eridan Ampora

Sexuality Headcanon: Pansexual. Definitely.

Gender Headcanon: Uuh...Genderfluid? Aren’t all grubs/baby trolls hermaphrodites at first are something? (Watch as my inbox explodes with the rage of 1,000 homestuck fans)

A ship I have with said character: EriSol, all the way.

A BROTP I have with said character: Also EriSol, EriGam is cool too

A NOTP I have with said character: Mm...Rose x Eridan. Yes, even if it’s a Kismesis.

A random headcanon: Eridan will always hate Guzma regardless of what timeline/alternate universe they’re from. Yes, I’ve created Kawaza (which is Guzma in troll form), but if he meets the normal Guzma, he’ll be just as hostile. To him, liking Guzma is too mainstream.

General Opinion over said character: Still the most tolerable troll that I haven’t even read about yet.

Ruthen/Rival Silver

Sexuality Headcanon: Demisexual

Gender Headcanon: Cis male

A ship I have with said character: Uuuh not gonna lie but I lowkey ship him with my OC Gen ._.

A BROTP I have with said character: Ethan/Gold x Ruthen, Roxie x Ruthen (my fav Gen 5 Gym Leader chillin’ w/ my fav Rival? Sign me up please)

A NOTP I have with said character: Lyra x Ruthen, Crystal x Ruthen.

A random headcanon: I refuse to call him “Silver” just for simplicity (because it’s easy for me to get him mixed up with Silver the Hedgehog for some inexplicable reason). The name “Ruthen” was a name I thought of at the top of my head when I played Pokemon Soulsilver in middle school, and it just kinda stuck with me. I never truly realized the genius behind the name until last week, when I discovered there’s a silver metal called Ruthenium.

tl; dr: I’ve been indirectly calling Ruthen “Silver” for over 6 years without fully realizing it until now xD
