Levi, if you could meet any famous artist anywhere, who would you wanna meet?

Hmmm, this is a tough one! I’ve been lucky to get the chance to meet a lot of famous coordinators thanks to my own work, and my connections, of course – being from a family with a number of famous coordinators and contest idols has its perks! But for those I haven’t met….. someone that comes to mind is Mrs. Aria Labelle, the former Kalos Queen and famous performer! She’s retired from performing now, but watching her and her pokémon’s performances when I was younger was a huge inspiration to me. I found her passion for performing and dream of making people smile to be super motivating. Honestly, if I could have even a fraction of her spirit and success I would consider my goals as a contest idol to be fulfilled. Getting to meet her in person one day is definitely a dream of mine!  

Renato, Celeste, which of you would win at arm/thumb wrestling against each other?

Renato: Of course I would win. I’m taller, I work out more, and I’m older.
Celeste: Oh, really? Alright then, I challenge you right here right now to an arm wrestling match!
Renato: If you want to get trounced then be my guest.
[The two get in position.]
Celeste: All right, three, two, one, go!
[They struggle for a bit, but Renato clearly has the upper hand and is pushing Celeste’s arm down]
Celeste, with an evil glint in her eyes: Did you know Euphie is going to propose to you?
Renato: WHAT
[As her brother is momentarily frozen in shock, Celeste slams his arm down on the table]
Celeste: BOO YAH! I win! HA! Take that! Superior sibling, coming through.
Renato: You cheating little…. -wait was what you said true?
Celeste: How should I know? I just knew it would freak you out.
Renato: Why you!! Get back here!
[He chases her out of the room, Celeste cackling the whole time as she’s fleeing.]

Sage! what’re your favourite things to photograph? or like what types of subject do you find yourself photographing a lot? (eg. pics of people, landscape, objects)

My favorite thing to photograph is nature! I want to be a professional nature photographer as my career, so that’s what I focus on. I suppose I sometimes do portraits for friends and family…. but only since they ask, you know? When it comes to nature, I specifically like to photograph pokémon. I used to take pics of all the pokémon living at dad’s lab, but once I was older and actually knew what I was doing I started going out in the woods and fields to photograph wild pokémon. I love spending time outdoors, and I really like getting to go out into the middle of nowhere and capture that beautiful scenery and wildlife on camera. I even won a regional photography contest for the magazine I dream of working for, so, you know, I’m actually pretty damn good.

Layla what’s your favourite food, drink, and snack? Also, do you have like, a breakfast meal you routinely eat (same meal every breakfast), or does it constantly change (each breakfast meal is different)?

Hmmm, my favorite food is probably crepes. I love how you can get them in sweet or savory flavors, so they can be either a meal or dessert! You can also eat them on the go, which is always useful since I usually don’t have time for a sit-down lunch break. I tried a buckwheat flour savory crepe recently that I really enjoyed! As for drinks…. I will confess to having a soft spot for bubble tea, especially with grass jelly. I suppose this is a good answer for desserts or snacks as well, since I love most jelly or pudding snacks – especially the colorful ones like kuih lapis! Cute desserts are definitely the best, bonus points if they are my favorite color purple. Well… I might just have a sweet tooth in general, haha.

For breakfast…. well, I’m usually in a rush, so a pastry and coffee is my go to. I try to get different pastries every day though, so I’m not eating the same thing all the time. Of course, sweet pastries are preferred, though I don’t mind savory ones once in a while.

Character Asks Open

To take a bit of a break from parent ship asks, I’m going to open up character asks! Feel free to ask questions to any fankids, even those who don’t have a profile yet. Is there anyone you want to get to know better? Have any burning questions you need answered about a family, fankid, or word lore aspect? Now’s your chance!

How they first met: Zinnia was actually the first person to find Sukarno after he turned into his human form. She was studying the murals in the Sky Pillar and making sketches of them for a plan to restore the artwork. All of a sudden, she felt the air shift and heard a loud roar, followed by a crash at the top of the tower. Zinnia ran up the stairs as fast as she could, only to find Rayquaza themselves lying in front of the altar. In fear of what possibly could have injured the great deity, Zinnia ran up to the dragon only to find them transform before her eyes into what looked like a member of her own clan. Bewildered, Zinnia had to let logic take the backseat as she moved to place her cloak around the man as he slowly gained consciousness, clearly disoriented. When she found out he didn’t speak League Standard and seemed to think it was centuries ago, she began to get worried again about what possibly could be going on. All the same, she managed to convince him to come with her to a hospital and after they figured out he was, essentially, a time-traveler with superpowers (seeing as all his memories of being a deity were missing) Zinnia was the first one to offer Sukarno a place staying with her (and his) clan in Meteor Falls.
Where their first date was: Originally, the two spent a lot of time together as Zinnia took it upon herself to introduce Sukarno to the modern world and everything that had happened since he was last mortal. As such, they traveled across Hoenn together, also hoping to maybe find other former-deities like Sukarno or gain clues as to why this happened in the first place. After their journey ended, however, Sukarno found himself making excuses to ask Zinnia questions about modern lie he already knew the answers to, just to spend time with her, while Zinnia would go out of her way to discuss history and Kaliya clan lore with Sukarno, even if she could find the answers elsewhere. Since neither seemed to be catching on to the other’s feelings, Zinnia’s grandmother just set them up on a date at a restaurant in Fallarbor Town. Needless to say, it went well, as much to the clan elder’s delight, Zinna brought Sukarno back to her home in Meteor Village that night.
When they had their first kiss: They had their first kiss on their first date, well, after it at least. Swimming with happiness that Sukarno returned her feelings, Zinnia was excited to move to the next step in their relationship, so she invited him to come home with her instead of returning to his room in the elder’s lodge. When he agreed and they returned to Zinnia’s house, she decided to set the mood by kissing him. Sukarno did not react super well to that, since he grew up in an era where courtship was supposed to be formal and physical affections reserved mainly for after marriage. Zinnia, on her part, felt super bad for rushing him, so they agreed to just hang out for the night instead. They did eventually have a proper kiss about a month later, though.
Who cooks: When they first started dating, neither of them were very good cooks, Zinnia mainly knowing the basics and Sukarno knowing none at all. Zinnia’s grandmother tried to give her more detailed lessons since someone in the family needed to know how to cook, but Zinnia just didn’t catch on too well. Sukarno, on the other hand, got his own set of cooking lessons from his future grandmother in law and found out that, not only did he enjoy cooking, he was quite good at it. Nowadays, he’s the one who cooks for the family, since Alya inherited her mother’s cooking skills.
Who proposed: Sukarno proposed! Zinnia saw it coming from a mile away though. She knew that her boyfriend wanted to at least try to keep their relationship somewhat traditional (even though he was breaking away from the traditions he was raised with in many other instances), so she let him go through the whole process of asking her grandmother for permission (she drew the line at dowry negotiations though), then formally present her with the engraved gold charm symbolizing their union. The whole Meteor Village had a huge party for the happy couple (dwarfed only by the actual wedding) and while Zinnia was overjoyed at her future, she dearly wished her sister Aster could have been there to celebrate as well.
The dominate one: Zinnia. Sukarno makes a good show of trying be the dominant one but it’s Zinnia. She regularly tops. And her husband does like it, even if he complains, because that’s just how he is. All the same, he accepts it just fine since his wife is the ‘higher ranked’ one in their relationship so traditionally she would be the dominant one. 
Their favorite pastime together: They love to travel! Especially to foreign nations. Zinnia knows she’ll eventually be tied down in Hoenn when she inherits the clan head duties from her grandmother, so she wants to see the world while she has the chance. Sukarno never traveled in the past, so he loves being able to see the world and all the different cultures, people, and pokemon that make it up. They usually forgo public transportation and fly on their dragons (Zinnia’s Salamence and Sukarno’s Flygon), making sure to hit all the important cultural and historical sights along the way. Alya was born while her parents were travelling (which caused a bit of a scandal back home for the heir to not be born in Hoenn), and her parents like to think she inherited her wanderlust from being born ‘on the road’ so to speak.
Who kissed who first: Zinnia kissed Sukarno.
Who is the flirt: Sukarno, surprisingly enough. He might be a bit on the traditional side, but once he discovers that flirting in public is socially acceptable he takes it upon himself to shower his wife in compliments all the time. Zinnia isn’t really phased by this though, and she’ll flirt right back (which will actually fluster her husband, which she finds hilarious). 
Who is the romantic: Sukarno, again, since he takes a very traditional approach to romance, doing things like buying jewelry and flowers for his wife (she appreciates the latter a bit more than the former) and generally pampering her whenever he can. He can sometimes go a bit overboard though, in which case Zinnia will tell him to take a break worrying about taking care of her and let her take care of him. This, as expected, flusters him quite a bit. 
Who wakes up first: Sukarno, usually, since he just doesn’t need as much sleep as a normal person would. He usually tries to go back to sleep so he can wake up with Zinnia though.
Who comforts who the most: They both comfort each other quite a lot. Zinnia is still haunted by her sister’s death and the responsibility that suddenly fell on her shoulders in the aftermath, while Sukarno has lived through a civil war, seen family members and friends killed, and essentially thought he was going to die when he ended up deified. Not to mention being displaced in time on top of it all. Sukarno tends to internalize all his issues, just as Zinnia tends to be in denial about things, so often times their communication isn’t very good. All the same, if one does pick up on the other’s distress (and they’ve gotten good at it over the years) they have a wordless agreement to led support when needed.
The cuddler: Zinnia tends to be more physically affectionate, mainly since physical affection is more common in the era she grew up in. Sukarno craves physical affection more, but is more hesitant about initiating since that sort of thing wasn’t done in public, or even in private as much, where and when he grew up.
The big spoon: As he is the taller one, Sukarno often is the big spoon, but he likes being held by Zinnia as well.

How they first met: They first met when Phoebe joined the Elite Four. Sidney was the most junior member prior to her, so he was assigned with giving her her orientation for her first day. The two hit it off right away and Sidney was pumped to have another more energetic and upbeat coworker since he didn’t get along as well with the others.
Where their first date was: The two started dating pretty quickly after first meeting, their first date being about a month after Phoebe joined the E4. She had kept trying to start a weekly ‘Bar Night’ with her coworkers to try and bond with them better, but only Sidney ever showed up. On the fourth week of only him taking her up on her offer, Phoebe, in a bit of a huff, just said ‘Well, with only us two we might as well make this a date!’ and that was that. They spent the evening having fun chatting and drinking, finding more and more shared interests, then retired to Sidney’s apartment for the night.
When they had their first kiss: They had their first kiss on their first date. It was raining when they left the bar and neither of them had brought umbrellas, so Sidney draped his leather jacket over Phoebe’s shoulders. She was so touched by the gesture (and still quite tipsy) that she grabbed him by the lapels and pulled him down for a smooch. The person behind them trying to leave had to ask them to take their makeout session somewhere other than the doorway.
Who cooks: Phoebe mostly cooks, but that’s mainly since Sidney fell in love with the Alolan recipes she learned from her grandparents the first time she cooked for him. When he does cook, though, Sidney likes to show off his skills in the kitchen by being dramatic with everything he does – juggling ingredients, spinning around while flipping omelets, cracking eggs with one hand, etc. Phoebe always is a wonderful audience, clapping and cheering for all his tricks, which he loves. Both of them (and both their kids) also love spicy food, and have one of those giant jugs of hot sauce lovingly displayed in the center of their dinner table. 
Who proposed: Sidney proposed. He chose to do so while they were on a date at the bar where they first started going out together. It was a pretty traditional proposal all things considered – he steered the conversation towards their relationship and when he felt the time was right, got down on one knee and asked Phoebe to marry him. She was so excited she fell off her bar stool! Luckily her new fiance was there to catch her.
The dominate one: Both are about equally dominant and frequently switch up who takes that role. Sidney loves his wife’s devious side and Phoebe loves when Sidney takes control, so switching things up works out wonderfully for them.
Their favorite pastime together: Both love battling, both together at the Battle Frontier or against each other, but otherwise they usually like to go to any kind of high-energy event, especially concerts. The two of them both love headbanging rock music (and similar genres) and get really excited whenever their favorite bands are in town. Phoebe is on the shorter side, so her husband will put her on his shoulders so she can see the band. They always end up screaming themselves hoarse from all the cheering and singing along. On the quieter side, Phoebe managed to get Sidney into gardening. She herself picked up the hobby from learning to care for Mt. Pyre from her grandparents, so she passed on her love of tending the soil to her husband. Their house is covered in window boxes and climbing vines, with plenty of Phoebe’s favorite – rose mallow. Sydney prefers to carefully cultivate his little succulent garden (and protect it from Phoebe’s Sableye, who seems to love digging up the dirt on her search for tasty stones) which Phoebe isn’t as impressed by since none of them have pretty flowers, but she still loves that she got him into gardening in the first place.
Who kissed who first: Phoebe kissed Sidney!
Who is the flirt: Sidney, hands down. He uses really cheesy lines as well. Or song lyrics. Phoebe thinks he’s such a nerd.
Who is the romantic: Phoebe! She likes planning out all their dates, though sometimes can go a bit over the top with her romantic ideas (no, Phoebe, a three-week vacation to tropical Oblivia is not realistic when you both have demanding government jobs). She also gets a lot of her romance tips from her ghost friends, so some of her romantic ideas are….. old-fashioned. Sidney finds that side of her charming, though, since he’s always loved how Phoebe is so friendly with the spirit world.
Who wakes up first: Sidney usually wakes up first. Phoebe is a night owl who always ends up sleeping late, so she relies on her husband to make sure she’s up on time for work each morning.
Who comforts who the most: Sidney usually comforts Phoebe more, since taking care of Mt. Pyre can be very taxing for her – taking care of all those lost souls and comforting grieving families. Phoebe always tries to be cheerful and upbeat, so when she does start feeling down from her work, her husband is always there to lend a shoulder and let her know it’s okay to cry if she needs to. Phoebe, on her part, always makes sure Sidney knows she’s there for him, especially when his family issues come up.
The cuddler: Phoebe, for sure. She loves to curl up to her husband, though he doesn’t always appreciate since she has a lower body temperature as a dark mage. Freezing cold feet aren’t ever fun. Phoebe always insists that just means he needs to warm her up and then it wouldn’t be a problem.
The big spoon: Sidney, by virtue of being taller (not that it’s hard to be taller than Phoebe).

Luna: We should stop worrying about Carmen and let her lead her own life.

Rosemary:

Luna:

Rosemary: Do you want to follow her, or should I?

Luna: Let’s both do it.

[loud creaking noise]

Nadeshiko: What was that?

Branwen: Probably Beryl with the snacks.

Cormag, with a poker face: Dun dun dun, it’s a ghost.

Celeste, rocking back and forth in the corner:This house has concrete floors, how was that sound made?

Branwen: Wow, Celeste is SHOOK.
