So, This Is A Great Artist Who Has This Amazing Submas Comic Called Redirect Featuring Ingo & Her Delightfully

So, this is a great artist who has this amazing Submas comic called Redirect featuring Ingo & her delightfully spitfire OC Mari, & she’s trying to get commissions to help with moving! I’m moving in a month, so I get it 😅 Whether it’s a commission or a reblog, I’d appreciate you showing her some support! 🩵

VS Larry

(Best viewed with the Paldean Elite 4 theme 🎧)

Real quick before the next DxP REWRITE update - I realized I never shared this one here! Larry, as I’ve said in that last post about hairlines lol, is my all-time favorite Elite 4 member. I was surprised to see him at his second job, but I was NOT surprised by his type switch - as an owner of many cloudy clothes myself, I immediately zeroed in on his cloudy tie (even if he wears a gray one in his Gym). ☁️

I felt bad for him at the Elite 4, as I noticed he had a team of these really flashy Flying types (including his own Altaria!), the exact opposite of his preference: simple, ordinary, & neutral. I have a feeling that his boss made him change it up. His Gym ace, Staraptor gave Ansy some trouble, but by the time she & Ikrit reached the Elite 4, she & Skye were more ready for his simple yet effective battling style!

PS: as a small tie-in to DxP, my headcanon is that Larry is originally from Sinnoh - Staraptor ace, is based on the stereotypical Japanese saLARRYman who loves onigiri, etc. 🍙 Maybe 25 years ago he got a League job offer in Paldea, where he went on to double shift as an Elite 4 member, too.

NPC Ansy

Drawing BW2 Ansy in that last comic with a raincoat like standard Parasol Ladies made me do it lol. Definitely nostalgic, looking up BW2 battle screenshots for this. ^_^

Parasol Lady is a trainer class who specializes in weather teams, but usually rain. There are certain moves, abilities, & types that have an advantage depending on the weather, like Weather Ball (a normally Normal move that gets a power boost & type change depending on if it’s raining, sunny, or snowing / hailing). Castform is generally their signature Pokemon, along with any with abilities like Swift Swim, Rain Dish, Hydration, or Drizzle. 🌧️💧

You probably would encounter her later on in the game (whenever Altaria evolves, around 35), but beat her fairly easily lol. Her default dialogue would be about the weather, her dear Pokémon, or maybe cloud cookies. ☁️ 

PS: I didn’t know you can catch Castform in BDSP (very rare Trophy Garden encounter), & I can’t not have Sora on the team if she’s available sooooo I did some rearranging on Ansy’s DxP team lol. I’m honestly planning on just redoing these profiles eventually (maybe after Chapter 1), but yeah, just so you guys know lol, Ansy has her raindrop baby. 🥲🩵

DxP cast final draft (lol)

Sort of another “pardon our dust” post - I was gonna wait until Chapter 2 to share this, but I figured “why not” & updated the character profiles of the main cast of DxP REWRITE one more time.

Each of them got new artwork (I’d gotten so much practice drawing them in the comic that I felt I could do better than the first drafts) as well as a cleaner design with a little more info. Also, there’s been a little rearranging on teams:

For Ansy, she has her Castform Sora since I just learned you can indeed have Castform in Sinnoh! For Emmet & Ingo, thanks to this very fun Sword / Shield Submas run I’m playing where I nicknamed all their Pokémon after rail terms, I decided to nickname their DxP teams, too! I did look up most these terms online, so my apologies to rail fans if I didn’t do as well as I could’ve lol. 😅

Okay, that’s it lol. See you Wednesday for the next update! ^o^

cloud cookies with friends!

Debbie dropped by over here, bringing some nice rainstorms. In light of that, & needed to use up my extra ricotta from stuffed shells, I decided to do a little something I’ve seen around here as I baked some cloud cookies (soft ricotta cookies with a glaze). 🌧️

Sora (Castform) was watching the clouds & rain roll by as Rain (Vaporeon) helped me in the kitchen (very important that you know she helped!). Skye (Altaria) waited eagerly by the oven, & now these three sillies can’t wait to have one - gotta wait until “Ikrit” comes home! 🩵

See you with the next DxP REWRITE update on Sunday! Until then, stay safe!

PS: I forget where I found this recipe online, but this is the one I use (plus a tiny bit of sparkly sugar before the glaze sets). Have fun! 🌧️ Cloud Cookies:

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

1/2 of 15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese (about a cup)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

2 cups flour

1 tbsp baking powder Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1/8 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp milk

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 350.

Line a baking sheet parchment paper.

Cream sugar & butter on low speed until light & fluffy.

Add ricotta, vanilla, & egg - mix.

Add dry ingredients - mix into a dough.

Scoop 12 cookies onto baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown & the tops bounce back.

Cool cookies on wire rack (careful, they’re soft!)

Prepare glaze - combine powdered sugar, vanilla, & milk (add more milk if it’s not liquid enough).

Glaze cookies when cookies are completely cooled.

Enjoy! Notes: For a lemony flavor: add 1 tbsp lemon zest to cookie dough, & substitute 1 tbsp milk for lemon juice to glaze (add milk if not loose enough) 🍋

DxP REWRITE - Fully Informed

Over the 2 years since Legends Arceus, people have learned to live with Pokémon more comfortably, & vice versa. There hasn’t been a whole lot of reconstruction here in Jubilife Village yet, as I imagined they put more of their energy into developing the villages at the survey camps around Hisui (which will eventually become the towns & cities around Sinnoh - there’s an NPC at one of the camps who says they were thinking of putting a village there). But they may be doing some building up, as more people come by Prelude Beach. 🍃

You can probably guess who taught Mizumi that habit of hiding her expression under her cap (hint: he’s in the last panel lol). As for what her reasons are for staying, that’s a story for another time.
