Tumblr Has A New User Again!

Name: Alfred F. Jones Specialty: N/A (but likes fire, flying, and electric types) Place of Origin: Alola, Melemele Team: Growlithe, Braviary, Snorlax, Wailmer, Alolan Raichu, Charizard, Jolteon Not used for battle: Rotom, Vulpix Rank: Top 5 (Alola) Top 10 (Globally) Pokemon he hates/fears: Ghost types, Beedrill (he's allergic to bees)

Alfred is renowned globally as the cheerful President of Astral Institute and strongest Elite Four member. From childhood, Alfred had secretly been participating in underground tournaments, honing his skills despite facing inexperienced opponents. He rose up the ranks quite quickly, setting record after record. Using his knowledge from Astral to good use, he knows exactly how to beat every type of Pokemon, and speed is his game. You can't harm what you can't touch, and he ends the battles in seconds with his fiery and electrifying team. He only does enough to knock them out, as he deems it barbaric to harm the Pokemon beyond what was necessary. He's an adventurous powerhouse trainer—after a childhood of being locked away, he was eager to explore everything there was to be explored. Alfred's impressive ascent through the ranks and genuine enthusiasm for battling captivated audiences, earning him a devoted fan base. He gained his own fans among the other competitors as well with his charm, as he made a habit of befriending his opponent before every match. He is currently Ivan's battle and traveling partner, and while they are certainly growing close, they are undoubtedly still opponents, and their rivalry can be very bitter at times. While Alfred doesn't specialize in a specific type, he favors electric, flying, and fire types with his energetic nature, desire for freedom, and fiery spirit. He has also never caught a Pokemon without helping or befriending them first, which is why his Pokemon had such fierce loyalty to him. 

Alfred was formerly the son of a renowned scientist, Samuel Jones. When on the verge of creating an extraordinary machine, the laboratory was attacked by a suspicious organization in Sinnoh, fearful that it would be their doom. Alfred's father died getting him to safety, and upon hearing the news of her husband's death, his mother fell into depression and disappeared. Alfred's brain conveniently erased the memory to protect him, and to his knowledge, he simply never had parents. Alfred's father worked in the Astral Institute, and knowing that he was the only survivor and witness of that night, Astral took him in and locked him away in their Headquarters on a remote island off Melemele. He was raised meticulously, treated as a fragile and helpless little thing to be protected and handled like glass. He wasn't allowed to make friends or leave the Headquarters, or even do anything remotely dangerous or interesting. Sick of feeling trapped, Alfred would regularly sneak out to join underground tournaments and battles. At the age of fifteen, he snuck out to join the Final Test, and after passing, the Astral Institute was bound by law to begrudgingly allow him to be a trainer.

More bits of information:

Despite his confinement by Astral, Alfred harbors no resentment towards them. Instead, he channels his frustration into a fierce determination to prove his worth beyond being simply their "golden child." Yearning for freedom, he sets his sights on becoming Pokémon Champion, driven by a desire to showcase his abilities and assert his independence. For Alfred, achieving greatness is not only about personal ambition but also about reclaiming control over his own life. He could be the greatest if only they let him go. Alfred initially resented Ivan, feeling threatened by his strength as he believed it was nothing but natural talent, especially with his lack of ambition. He challenged Ivan to numerous battles to prove his own superiority but always lost, frustrating him. However, when Alfred learned of Ivan's motivations, he put aside his own pursuit of greatness to support him. He realizes the futility of seeking personal glory and shifts his focus to improving Astral, believing it to be a more meaningful endeavor that benefits everyone, Pokemon and humans alike. He had been the Pokemon Champion for a brief time before Ivan defeated him, but Alfred wasn't angry about it and had been happy that Ivan succeeded. While no longer the Champion, he was still one of the Elite Four and the President of the primary agency for anything Pokemon-related, so he still held in high regard and power.

Alfred's childhood revolved around technology, aiding Pokemon, and helping around the Astral Institute, resulting in his intelligence and dedication to Pokemon. Despite his knowledge, he struggles with social cues as his isolation has left him socially inept, unused to conversing with anyone but the Astral employees. In battle, he avoids using Rotom, Vulpix, and Wailmer, as the first two weren't for battle and Wailmer was fearful. Snorlax holds a special place in his heart, being his first Pokémon and caregiver in his infancy.

Note:

Astral Institute is a technological organization that handles the Pokemon Leagues, Gyms, Championships, Tournaments, and battles, like an agency for trainers to go on missions, take commissions, or study courses. It is not required for trainers to take missions and they are generally free to do as they please, but they are required to go through a Final Test before becoming a trainer.

The Final Test is the participants being placed in an enclosed captivity filled with violent Pokemon; if they survive, then they pass, and they receive Pokeballs that are unique to trainers.

Little headcanon I have of Francis (some may not make sense)

Francis' mother very graceful and elegant woman. She was a very involving parent and took care of Francis, she was a great mom. However she had always mistook Francis for a girl, and still believes so until this day because when she died Francis was still a child and hadn't hit puberty yet. She dressed him up as a girl, taught him how to act feminine, and of course Francis was never taught otherwise so he believed it was normal. Francis' femininity never left him, and he still likes to be girly to this day (wearing dresses, bows, flowers, ribbons, etc.) Arthur still hasn't told him it's not normal. Francis was very much lady-like as a child, having the looks, voice and personality of a female. He was often mistaken for one, leading Francis to believe he was a woman himself. Eventually Arthur told him women don't have penises, and that he was a guy, not a girl. Francis didn't believe him until he hit puberty. Francis was unbelievably feminine that Arthur had trouble deciding whether or not he was actually a guy.

i forgot to add that Yao told him to talk sense into the Queen (arthur) instead of the King. Thats because in Hearts, Queens have more authority and power than the King. Everything goes through Arthur first, not Francis. Which is why he didnt take Francis' last name. Partly bc he's petty and takes great pride in his surname (since its from a long line of strong Heartizen Queens) and because, in their kingdom, the King takes the Queen's last name or just keeps their own name. So yeah Omegas are regarded higher in Hearts and Francis' position is pretty much just for show since its Arthur who always gets the final say.

I was wondering where can I read your cardverse fanfic? I’ve been scrolling through your art and I love it so much, theyre so cute 🥺🥺🥺

you can find it on ao3, its called Torn Between Love and Duty, and my username is the same as here in tumblr. But fair warning that I'm rewriting it in real time, so it may not make sense while you're reading it😭 So far I've only updated until Chapter 6 fhsjdh

Anyone else not like it when Gilbert is portrayed as a pervert? When he touched Elizabeta's chest he did it because he thought she was a girl and was doing it as a joke. And when he realized Eliza was actually a girl he freaked out and cried in a church, begging for forgiveness. I'd rather he was portrayed as an awkward virgin (by choice) who refuses to touch women in a dirty way, and also refuses to watch porn because he's "a son of God". He was raised in a holy catholic order, with strict rules to not indulge themselves in such vulgar activities. I doubt he would go against the rules and morality he was taught growing up. Gilbert could be stuck in a room full of very beautiful but naked women and all he would do is freak out, cover his eyes and hope they don't come near him. He only offered that crotch cloth to Elizabeta cause he thought she was a guy, and even then it was just as a joke and he didn't actually have any serious ill intent.

i like to think he never takes it off. ever. the only time he does is to shower, but he keeps it on every other time. including during intimate times fr

Does. Does Ivan wear his scarf to bed?

yeah, and to swim, and while showering, and 

ask-angelamerica

ALL THE SINGLE DEMONS! NOW PUT YOUR HAND UP!!! 

I think I’ll keep it~

((OOC? IC? We don’t even know. Derping admins are derping.))

Ivan never plays chess with anybody except Alfred, because he knows Alfred is the only one worthy and smart enough to be able to play against him. Their games are unpredictable, sneaky, and intense. Ivan loves playing with Alfred for two reasons: 1. Alfred is smart and unpredictable, Ivan is intelligent himself but can never figure out what his lover's next move is gonna be, thus adding a passionate and exciting thrill to their games 2. Alfred is focused and intense during chess. Ivan thinks it's very amusing.

Mitsuri may be the love hashira, but Himejima Gyomei is the ultimate shipper and matchmaker and you can’t convince me otherwise. Like looking at his impressions of the other hashira, you have:

Giyuu and Shinobu “they enjoy talking to each other”

Kanroji and Iguro “they like each other”

And

And Sanemi “he likes Kanae”

:(((

Like this man is blind but he’s soo perceptive and intelligent he knows what’s going on with all of them.
