Yall are lucky I don't post All of my sketches

dumps irl sibling interactions onto them

That makes two of us.

I despise Swordward and Shieldbert, for numerous reasons.

I hate how there was no warm-up to them, no previous hinting that they might exist. They came from nowhere with the most arrogant, unpleasant behavior and selfish actions possible. Nothing in how they spoke or acted gave me any reason to have even a passing respect for them.

Then the blatant ignorance and callousness of their "Grand Plan".

Were they honestly stupid enough to think that everyone in Galar would blame a pair of pokemon for them causing pokemon to Dynamax and go ballistic???

Hell no!!

They would get blamed if the Dymaxed pokemon hurt or even killed people before being stopped! Any moron could have told them that!! Because they caused it!

You blame the arsonist for starting the fire, not the firefighters for not getting there faster!!

Which also made the "betrayal" of Sonia's assistant utterly stupid. Those guys gave absolutely no reason for why she would have been loyal to them and gone along with the plan that would have easily put the region in danger and gotten innocent people killed! She had to have been a complete moron or had no idea what the actual plan was.

All because Sonia had written that their ancestors had used pokemon to help save the region in the past rather than it being some miracle event that a single human with a sword and shield defeated a nebulous "great evil."

As soon as the fact that they were responsible for all of that got out, and it would get out, they and their family would have been ruined. All political clout would have been destroyed. Their reputations as respectable people trying to help/protect the region would have gone down the toilet. Businesses would have been dropping them like they were fresh crap.

Because they made it clear they cared more about riding the coat-tails of their ancestor's reputation than they did about the region itself.

THE SWORD ITSELF IS STUCK IN THE GROUND, SO WHAT'S HIS HAIR LITERALLY DEFYING GRAVITY FOR??

I drew this with my finger in my notes app. It took me about 2 minutes.

And Shieldbert just

So I keep thinking.....
