CWS: death, selfharm, depression, suicidal ideation [stay safe]
his hair isn't too far off how i usually draw it [missing the shaved sides] because i think it'd be like a grown out buzzcut. After Jas' parent's die that's when he falls into depression and after only a few months he just buzzed it all off for easier matenance especially considering he now has to deal with Jas' kinkier hair and learn how to do that, he didn't have time for himself. After a couple months though, Marnie introduces him to Emily who starts cutting his hair every month or so, slowly making them friends.
i gave him really red and squinty eyes since while him being a stoner would be interesting i don't think he would for Jas' sake. I wanted to make him look just- so fucking tired and out of it and as if he very visably broke the fuck down 5 minutes before leaving the house and is practically snarling at anyone who gets to close incase they notice. another thing of note when it comes to his skin is the self harm scars, far from fresh but there, no longer caring enough to hide them, not from confidence but emptiness.
i didn't think too much on his clothes but in my head this is before he got a job at joja and i think that the tunnlers shirt would just cause a level of soreness since i think he and Jas' parents were presumbly gridball fans and rooting for the same team. i think it'd also draw more attention to him than he'd like. He's... okay with Jas getting attention, rumour spreads fast enough so people know not to ask and she deserves to be comfortable and cute, besides it's hard to find alternative baby rompers. If Shane wore the Tunnlers shirt then that gives people a leg up on one of his intrests and he can't risk making friends only to hurt them when he stops being around since he knows what that's like. I just gave him some vaguely punky clothes since that would at least scare off all the mother hens around town feeling sorry for him. His clothes don't fit as well anymore though, his shirt is riding up slightly exposing his tummy
as a treat for me
because since he stopped playing gridball and stopped taking care of himself he's started gaining weight.
As a final thing, he wears his friends' promise rings, they never had enough money or time to get married or even engaged for that matter before all that was left of them was their daughter, who seemed to always gravitate towards grabbing her parents' ring fingers, seeming to be intrigued by the texture difference. and while Shane knows logically thats all it was there's a part of him that wants her to have that constant, at least as a baby
First Game: Pokemon White was the first main line game and i played it when i was im gonna say about 6 and picked Tepig [his name was Fire Bacon] and it is my most balanced team to date. In general though, it's a toss up between Pokemon Snap, Stadium and Ranch
Favorite Game: prooooobbbbably SCVI? i unironically play pokemon for the plot and the charcters there were just soooo good and as few as i play im a sucker for games that drop you into the wilderness and tell you to fuck off.
Favorite Spinoff: Pokemon Snap on switch! the N64 version is really nostalgic for me but fuck is it a nightmare to play and the switch version unironically had me just making fucking NOISES at the screen upon seeing some of the pokemon [mainly espurr]
Favorite Generation: i'm admittedly not huge on the earlier [pre hand holding] gens and while alola has fucking banging vibes, galar has a shit ton of charm, kalos i replayed a billion times and unova was my first, paldea takes it for being the best experience cause i fucking loved the characters and it was so refreshing to play as i came in as blind as possible and didn't look up a guide and it gave me a fun experience [doing larry like 3rd and grusha maybe like 6th]
Favorite Human Character: guzma, N and god like literally every rival in scvi??? most gym leaders and npcs in general go hard... arven and kieran especially. i love modern pokemon's characterisation for the actual... people easily shown by saying ''what sexuality is any gym leader before kalos?'' [pokemon jump to 3D more like pokemon jump to LGBT]
Absolute Favorite Pokemon: reuniclus! was on my very first team and is just a silly little guy, other high ups are blue shellos [shocker], espurr and blacephalon
Favourite Pokemon:
Kanto: Mew, Gengar, Poliwag, Caterpie and weirdly enough Lickitung? idk i always thought he was cute and will stand by that opinion [ i think alot of this was formed on the lickilicki hate i was jsut barely concious enough to remember]
Johto: Hopip, Furret and Girafarig, thats kinda it? i don't hate any johto mons but god is it one of two gens that i couldn't actually get to the end of [the other being kanto cause fuck kanto]
Hoenn: zangoose, serviper, blaziken, torchic, flygon and numel [picking that fucker up and telling my buddy nate to go long]
Sinnoh: blue shellos [pink bitch ugyy] , buneary, infernape line, budew, chingling, giratina, its got some pretty cute bitches for being my honestly least favourite gen design wise
Unova: reuniclus, maractus, cubchoo, pidove, sewaddle, zoruark line, victini, 1/3rd of my og team here [reuniclus + maractus, their names were squishy and spoke [ the maractus was a girl and i didn't want to name it spike because of that [yes i was stupid]
Kalos: chespin line, espurr, malamar, yveltal, skrelp, noibat, spewpa. distinctly out of the version exclusives here, they werent in my version through courtsy of being the younger sibling and getting second pick on which game i got [ie the less cool/edgy one in this case]
Alola: blacephalon, cutiefly, stuffel, pompom oracorio and BRIONNE!! my daughter!! i would take her to her dance practice and then we would get icecream after i lobv her.
Galar: appletun!!! toxel line, sobble [whiney baby] , ursaluna, hisuian zorua line and typhlosion, gen 8 has the funniest contrast of first team syndrome for me since in galar i had a fucking grapploct on my team who does that cause i didn't know the full dex but hisui is one of my fave teams since it took me a full like year and a half to get around to playing it [shout out to the burn on my foot] so i knew the dex
Paldea: slitherwing, maushold, quaxly, mabostiff [dowggy], meowscarada, clodsire, tinkaton, pawmot and normal form terapagos, i let out an audible D'AWWWWWW when that little fucking thing started walking towards me in game only for kieran to hock a master ball at it like he was playing cricket or some shit
Favourite "Gimmick Form" (Mega/Dynamax/One-Offs/Paradox?): mega audino is such a sweetie to me <3 and mega mewtwo Y goes hard, gmax toxicitry fucks and grimmsnarl is funny. bloodmoon ursaluna is also very fun i hope they do more of that
Favourite Regional Form: zorua line goes, alolan raichu is a cutie and i honestly think galarian darmantian is cool but im already a darmantian fan
Favourite Legendary: toss up between yveltal, mew, victini and shaymin but probably blacephalon [ if were counting the beasts ]
Trainer, Coordinator, Professor, or Ranger?: trainer, as fun as contests, professoring and rangering sounds ough stress... i wouldn't even be a travelling trainer i'd just be hanging out with my selection of guys and they'd help me in daily life, maaaayyybeee battle for fun.
Preferred Pokeball?: im a freak who doesn't care about looks too much and catches everything in quickballs when possible... but if i were to get one of those well expensive canon complicit pokeballs that the pkmn company have been making i think the luxury ball is swag as all hell
Dream Team IRL?: as much as im a fan of the big ol' beast they ain't practical so im probby going with appletun, pawmi/pawmot, espurr, zangoose, mabostiff [it reminds me of my old dog {': ] and blue shellos
Region you'd want to live in?: ooouuughhh as lovely as alola, paldea and even kalos seem... im british, we're going with galar
Games, Cards, Anime, or Manga?: games! i like collecting the cards but fuck are they 'spensive [i am very excited by the TCG app because yay pictures!!!!!] i used to catch the anime on a couple different channels as a kid [unova/kalos era] and it was always fun but i never like... made sure to catch it and while the manga intrests me ive never come in contact with it and fuck is there a lot of it
What Pokemon Would You Be?: i would love to be a pawmi ngl, any member of that line tbh but idk i think itd be a hella chill existance.
