Welcome to the first official Squidbeak Splatoon Picnic!! Care for some lemonade?
THIS should be on everyone’s blog!
Love Acht
All Hail the blinding one
I fucking love Necrozma
At first glance, it's.....an edgy prism monster? Absorbs light? Design's a bit awkward tbh BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE!! This thing is the agonised, partially reconstructed remains of another dimension's god of light!! It's torso is a fucking skull, its legs protrude from nostril holes, its unwieldly arms are huge feet stuck to the ends of frail wings!! It was once a dragon which shone with a blinding light, which illumined its home dimension, but the people there sought to control that light and in doing so destroyed it, wounding Necrozma and plunging their world into darkness
Necrozma absorbs light because it's driven by the single minded goal of regaining its true form!
Which is why it chases after and attempts to assimilate the emissaries of the sun and moon! In the hope that it can use their light to reconstitute itself! And yes, using the light of both, it is able to
It's still clearly incomplete, but it almost doesn't matter, what's missing is filled in with raw power!
LOOK AT THIS THING! It's Beautiful, shining golden crystal bathed in liquid light, it's like a star in beast form, a dragon of plasma!
A broken god, reconstituted, beautiful (this art is fucking official btw, how often does Pokemon go this hard?)
Speaking of Pokemon going hard, this thing is an absolute nuzlocke ender! An uncharacteristically extreme super boss for a series that usually gets criticised for being too easy
Also, you hear that theme?????? Holy fuck - Epic - Glorious - Majestic - Terrifying - Melancholic?...O-oh Yes, melancholic Because, despite everything, this refound glory is fleeting. This is a transformation, not an evolution, and fundamentally Necrozma is still not complete, you can only fill in the cracks with stolen energy for so long
(Note this animation apparently gets cut off in-game before you get to properly see it? This footage is from a BDSP mod hednjd) Canonically the player character wins that battle, and if you catch Necrozma we see that its ultra form is a temporary transformation, so one way or another that taste of glorious, beautiful, shining completeness is fleeting. ' - ' Necrozma is still incomplete, but for a moment you see the light of what once was,,,,,idk!??! that's kinda rad, kinda wild, I feel bad for this creature??? Like, isn't there something so fundamentally relatable about, knowing your potential, knowing the version of yourself that you're supposed to be, striving to be that version of yourself at all times, but only getting to feel that power for a brief moment, when everything falls into place?
It's implied that the Z crystals (items which allow Pokemon access to once a match special moves) are all shards of Necrozma's original body...Even though the original, full, Necrozma is gone, the embers of its power are spread far and wide
In conclusion: I just really like Necrozma c: it's a very specific mix of - powerful - beautiful - cosmic - devine - tragic - melancholic - and trans probably that just speaks to me ; 0 ;
Intermission.
Just wanna draw the glowy rings around Callie’s pants.

I drew all of the Links from the games that I've played so far :>
This was honestly such a pain but I managed to push through fghjjgj for some reason i decided to be very weird with the lineart i can't even explain it-
Also don't mind me trying to figure out how to like, sign my stuff i dunno
I didn't know wether i should start with him or with botw Link since my first game was tfh and not albw. But as you can see I decided to start with albw Link
Ik totk isn't out yet but I still put it here cuz why not. I'm so used to drawing this Link because he used to be one of the only characters I would draw for a really long time haha
I don't have anything to say about this one fgjzihhjk
This drawing has to be my least favorite of the bunch. For some reason whenever I try to draw ss Link I mess it up somehow :< my poor sweet boi didn't deserve this
Okay I kinda cheated with this one because I have only played la so far but I just really wanted to draw pink haired Link fgizhgkk
I don't really like this one either, it's better than ss Link but still kinda wonky. I really need to work on my faces, especially forward facing ones. I also cheated again bc I haven't finished taol yet :>
Let’s review the facts:
Penny is originally from Galar
Penny’s father is described by her as being “loud and clingy”
Now where have I heard that before? Oh right:
Some additional facts:
Peony clearly gives his children similar names to his own (Take out the “y” and make it an “ia” to get Peonia). Penny is only one letter off from Peony, the only difference being that the “o” is an “n”
Peony is prone to giving children (including but not limited to his own) nicknames (“Nia” for instance)
Every single one of Penny’s non-English names reference the peony plant
Of course there is the elephant in the room; Penny is white and Peony is not.
First of all, Peony is absolutely the type of person to adopt a child and it is fully possible that Penny is not his biological daughter. However, Peony’s wife and Peonia’s mother is white. As any 8x8 punnett square will tell you, children are nowhere near guaranteed to have the skin color that is the exact middle between their parents (like Peonia seemingly is), but can in fact be nearly anywhere on the skin color spectrum, albeit with varying degrees of rarity.
(Note: the data reflected on the graph is not directly accurate to Peony and his wife. The inputs are completely different, though the outputs remain fairly accurate)
Smaller details:
One of the most common pairs of Pokémon that are often compared to each other are Pikachu and Eevee (Pokémon Yellow, Let’s Go). If Penny and Peonia are sisters, their opposing motifs make perfect sense.
Lastly, Penny gives the player character the TM for Draco Meteor (only usable on Dragon types) after defeating her. However, it is odd that she would have this TM in the first place. She couldn’t have gotten it specifically for the player because the player might not have any Dragon types, and she certainly wouldn’t have gotten it for herself; Penny exclusively used Eeveelutions (or Veevees, as she calls them), of which a Dragon type does not exist. However, there is an individual mentioned in this post who always and only has a Dragon type, that being Peonia and her Tyrantrum that she uses in Dynamax Adventures. We know Peony likes to give powerful (for lack of a better term) gifts to his daughter (See: golden expedition uniform), and he is 100% the type of dad to make sure that any gift he gives to one child, he gives to all of them.
TL;DR: Peony is Penny’s father.
