That Comes With Being Old /silly

I keep getting spam messages so I gotta tell them I have a beautiful husband (boyfriend) at home (near me by online standards but bro still lives 45 minutes away by car) ⋌༼ •̀ ⌂ •́ ༽⋋

He's so very dear to me I can't even

Present day Fridolin my son...

Unsolicited lore/info dump also

Fridolin has a room in his house specifically for painting and doodling, sketching, drawing, etc.

One specific wall in this room is plastered full of sketches. Other walls are also slowly being covered, but so far, it's mostly only one wall.

Fridolin draws, like, three things repetitively, and all of these three things go up on the wall.

These three things are scenery, Koren and 𝓩𝓲𝓷𝔃𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓷

He enjoys drawing whatever brings him comfort or things that bring back happy memories. Present day Fridolin is waayyyy over his forced obsession with Zinzolin, but he can't not acknowledge that, in some way and to a degree, his attachment to Zinzolin was real and genuinely affects him to this day. Zinzolin was a huge part of his life for so long, and Fridolin really can't help but think of him fondly. Koren is there because... well, Fridolin is very much in love with Koren and way more accepting and open about this now. He's also quite happy about this, actually, simply because he really cherishes Koren and really loves that he loves him. It makes him very giddy and joyous. He draws scenery mostly for comfort and because he likes it (I can't actually draw scenery send help). Sometimes he'll draw places that he's been to, places that stuck in his mind for whatever reason and other times it's just random scenery he thinks of or sees on images and whatnot... He really likes drawing. Sometimes he'll spend hours doing nothing else and 80% of what he draws during that time is wall-worthy stuff...... it makes him happy!!!

He doesn't like having people in his drawing room, mostly because of the wall. And he doesn't allow anyone in there, really..... if he wanted to show a drawing to someone he'd probably rather move the whole canvas out to a different room rather than just letting someone into the room. It's his space of expression, where he can really express anything and everything and he'd feel very awkward about someone seeing the wall.

Yayay!!!!!

Oh my goodness I very much have to elaborate on their relationship

I have decided to give myself the freedom of letting them be even more messed up because I have been having the immense urge to do so since the beginning but I wasn't confident enough for it

THESE TWO.... pls ignore if I'm less intricate or something here I feel like this loredump is gonna be more messy in a way??

Fridolin is SEVERELY dependent on Zinzolin. Like, to an obviously unhealthy degree. Zinzolin picked him up when he was at his worst, taught him to blame himself for all the shit that happened to him under the guise of helping him improve himself and his whole 'sage-in-training- status. Zinzolin and the work he gives Fridolin lets Fridolin feel a sense of purpose and in some way makes him feel like he's redeeming himself from his past actions (which were totally all his fault definitely). Fridolin essentially develops a borderline obsession with Zinzolin.

Zinzolin could not care LESS about Fridolin.... like, seriously, that's just another dude who conveniently got very attached to him and would protect him with his life. Except there is this weird sense of pride there, also. Zinzolin doesn't like it because it's already too much of an attachment in his eyes, but he is proud of Fridolin's achievements. Fridolin is after all very much his mentee, and seeing him actually succeeding and even excelling at his duties makes him feel proud. Something which Zinzolin likes even less is that there is an odd sense of care he feels for Fridolin, at least eventually he does.

There's definitely a mutual care between the two even if Zinzolin doesn't like acknowledging it. That care is however very twisted and messed up!

It's a horrible little mix of borderline romantic, purely manipulative, desperation to get over someone else from both sides and an odd platonic appreciation.

Zinzolin tries hard to keep their relationship purely work-based but he fails miserably at it.. There is never anything explicitly romantic between them. Zinzolin wouldn't let it get to that point. (Bear with me here I really can't describe this the same way I tried my best to do with the other lore dumps)

The distancing really doesn't work. It's a constant "only once, only this small thing" which just ends with things happening again and again. Like I mentioned before they are not explicitly romantic and there's boundaries that are never crossed but it's smaller stuff that happens over and over again which has this borderline romantic undertone (I'm doing my best here to word this).

Only image I have of one example... like Fridolin being allowed to sit on Zinzolin's desk. That's a thing. Fridolin sees this as one of his greatest accomplishments, that is his spot and he has it because Zinzolin at the very least tolerates him. It makes him feel validated. Zinzolin keeps telling himself that it's, well, a one time thing! That it's just for fun, to see and maybe internally laugh at how giddy Fridolin gets over it. It's not. Not entirely anyways. Partially it's also because he does enjoy Fridolin's company.

They rely on each other to cope with the fact that they're trying to get over someone else.. Fridolin sees his entire past way of living as wrong, that includes his relationship. He blames himself for getting distracted, and considers the reason for his distraction to be his ex.. who he never officially broke up with but that's just a fun fact. Zinzolin is trying to distract himself from his weird feelings for Ghetsis which he wishes didn't exist. They use their bond with each other as a means of coping with this.

Fun image depicting Fridolin debating if he could style his hair to look like whatever Ghetsis has going on and whether that would get his boss to love him or not...

They are. Incredibly messed up. Both of them. And they both grow dependent on each other to each different degrees. I really can't get myself to explain this in a more organized and thorough way this will just have to do.. but yay!!! Giving myself the freedom to let them be like this!!!!!!!

..... surprise surprise

FRIDOLIN

Infodumping more about this guy because I love him sm sm

The happiest Fridolin will ever be is actually during his time as part of team neo plasma ! Sure , he's actively being manipulated and the people he cares for don't care for him beyond the benefits his trust gets them .. but he's not exactly aware of that .

Fridolin feels like he has more liberties during his time in neo plasma . He actually enjoys his work , he likes being useful to the team and he depends heavily on the familiarity his position brings him , since it's essentially the same job he had back in the original team plasma just made actually official .. working feels rewarding to him for the first time ever . This does also leads to him overworking himself quite a lot . He depends a lot on the reassurance and praise he occasionally gets from the few people he latched onto ..

The fall of team neo plasma basically leaves him completely mentally wrecked ... He has an emotional support Pidove , also.

Miscellaneous stuff I thought of ..... Most of the times during his " time off work " , he likes to just read through either already finished or still to do paperwork while listening to insert the pokemon universe's version of Mitski and taking care of that Pidove . The Pidove's name is Stick .

Hand .. reference ?? Drawing practice kind of ??

It takes Fridolin a while to adjust to not being able to use his right hand anymore , since he is right-handed . He doesn't like how wobbly his writing can get at times . Fridolin often blames himself for his scars , and he covers them most of the time because seeing them makes him severely uncomfortable . To him , they feel like a constant reminder of his " mistakes and failures " .

Fridolin cut his hair after joining neo plasma with the idea of blending in more with the other grunts , but he couldn't get himself to dye it . He also didn't care much to maintain the length he'd cut it to , eventually just putting it into different hairstyles to make it look shorter .

Huzzah !!

Giratina Edit to KMFDM because the song is fucking awesome and I love my distortion antichrist worm

Splinters&Childishness lore stuff also

In the au, Giratina is able to splinter and has done so in the past (resulting in the later existence of the Mikage family), they are also prone to steal human forms when wanting to be human, just tweaking the looks slightly to not be twins (namely making their hair unnecessarily long as they like it that way.)

I can heal your pokemon but I can't heal my soul
