Sorry For The Long Delay, But We’re Back.

A team is formed...

Lazy Days

Gamers :0c

QOTD: How did Donald and Gyro first meet? Then became partners?

I don't think there's a canon first meeting for these two. They likely met by being in the same neighbourhood. Gyro went out selling his gizmos on the street, and Donald, new on the block, was captivated by clever inventions he had in his cart. Gyro offered to follow Donald and make sure the gadget worked as intended, and as per usual things don't go as intended. So they get roped into a silly adventure together-- and a new friendship!

You could also go the childhood friends route....

And PKGyro real. I think they get together after working together in the PK-Gyro team. They start to really trust in each other through that, and it's even sweeter that Gyro and Donald share in a secret together. Donald probably asks him out first.

Donro for the thing

flexing my donro muscles right now

1. Angst: “What purpose do I have if I’m not pleasing others?” Donald asked, as Gyro, who had also dedicated his life to making others happy, failed to come up with an answer.

2. AU: “Payment is cheap as usual,” Gyro snickered as Donald gave him the money for the scrap-heap; it was only a few days later that Gyro had sold his “friend” a fully functional freeze-ray.

3. Crack!fic: “Gyro, I killed Bumbum and I need you to invent something to help hide the body!”

4. Crossover: The last thing Gyro could remember he was diligently working on an invention as Donald vented to him about his bad luck, but now the two of them were wandering in an unfamiliar forest and making their way towards a light up ahead, no, a building, no, a hotel, which they entered with confused certainty, being greated by a “Would you like a room?”

5. First Kiss: Gyro did a double take, unsure of what just happened, but saw Donald, still incredibly cheerful; well, if Donald was happy, Gyro was too.

6. Fluff: Donald was proud of himself for getting Gyro, already passed out on the hammock, to take a long deserved break; all Donald needed to do was curl around him and fall asleep himself.

7. Humor: “Let’s just say your help was a bit… counterpro-duck-tive,” Gyro said, trying to appease Donald, who would have been much happier simply being “fired.”

8. Hurt/Comfort: Donald rubbed the back of his friend, slumped over in total despair, and said one thing: “We’ll find him, I promise.”

9. Horror: Donald let out a blood-curdling scream as he felt what could only be described as his skin being pulled in every direction, which was not made any better by Gyro grabbing ahold of his midsection and frantically screaming that there was a way to fix this, but nothing could stop it now!

10. UST: “Well, you’re the one who never-” Gyro cut himself off, ending the spat, as he noticed Donald was now pinning him up against the wall.

Nights and Mornings

The next week....

The dawning horror of realising you are both night people.

QOTD below.

QOTD: What do Gyro and Donald not like in each other?

They adore each other in many regards, but when it comes to Donald's impatience and temper, plus self-loathing-fueled envy, Gyro finds himself more concerned for Donald. It's not always comfortable to watch the lengths Donald might go for a crumb of public validation. On Donald's part, he is unhappy that Gyro stretches himself out thin often, and for so little pay from Uncle Scrooge. Despite chiding him to not overwork, Gyro wants to be useful and disregards his advice. Donald always sticks up for his partner, but it creates some strain when Gyro once again retreats into the workshop for days trying to meet the quota.

For Day 2: Conflict of @donro-week

Alflear Week (5)

something quick n late for small joys of @malflearweek

i planned out an entire celine fic for this one but life got in the way.

Meet The Crescent!

I'm excited to present my Pokemon Mystery Dungeon team for Wayfarer ARPG, The Crescent! The team is comprised of Alvus, the contrast Sobble, and Stella, the inverted Snivy.

You can read more about their stories on their Adventure Log on AO3! You can also send asks about them, and receive in-character replies.

Alvus and Stella share a little bit of history, as Alvus temporarily worked for House Elysia, of which Stella is the youngest child. They befriended each other then, but Alvus did not come to only make friends. They wanted to steal one of House Elysia's rare artifacts known as the Lunar Disc, said to grant extraordinary powers, in order to become stronger. They were successful in their goal and soon left the house, their theft completely undetected.

But Stella could not forget her friend. She managed to track them down and convince Alvus to travel together. Despite Stella being oblivious to their crime, Alvus agreed to travel with her. Now, Alvus has to figure out how to use the Lunar Disc without Stella catching on...

If you want to participate in Wayfarer, the group will have an open beta on March 1st! You will need a ToyHouse to register.

the only thing more embarrassing than cringy poetry is being so afraid of feeling embarrassed that you don't even try to make anything at all
