vinyl how could you betray me in this way :(

that and a noibat gijinka. and a sliggoo?
i remember drawing them a lot during one of my chem labs but i’ve moved like five times since then so i’m sure all my sketches are gone :(

oh my goddDDDDD CUTE

- Anne and Rika send back stupid pictures and memes to each other regularly. Including when they’re in the same room. Mostly to see the other’s reaction. But also there will be long chains of just silly pictures from their days. Frequently of cute pkmn they’ve encountered that day.

- Rika enjoys candles! Subtle smells, forests and campfires and rain. Anne also somewhat likes them, but prefers sweeter smells, like vanilla and baked goods and flowers. They alternate who gets the candle choice.

- I feel like Rika, despite being easily fired up, tends to run a bit cold. Meanwhile Anne is typically hot all the time (which is a bummer given their intense love of fun/patterned cardigans). The thermostat in their inevitable shared living space is a contentious subject.

- Anne obviously loves to bake but they also cook pretty well too! They tend to meal prep and freeze things. Rika is more of a “protein bar and Kofu on speed dial” kinda lady. Anne has taken to bringing an extra packed lunch and offering it to Rika if she comes by to drop off Soapberry pastries.

- Rika is actually not a huge gamer at baseline, but has been getting into more games per Anne’s insistence. She’s always claimed to be too busy in the past, but she does like the VNs that Anne keeps shoving in her hands. (Anne demanded she play the pkmn equivalent to Zero Escape.)

I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A CADUCEUS EMOJI oh that is a /strong/ contender (i also just realized there’s a crutch and that is. also up on the list lol)

- Anne has better-than-average-white-person spice tolerance but it’s nothing compared to Rika, who barely flinches at eating the spiciest things on menus. It’s been a point of contention when they cook—Rika has lost spice-adding privileges after rendering an entire meal inedible to Anne by accident

- Anne and Rika first met at Patisserie Soapberry, and as a result it’s still a place of great importance to them. Rika frequently drops by there to pick up whatever new pastry is on the menu and will drop by the academy to bring one to Anne. (They are appreciative. Their waistline is not.)

she spec’d completely into charisma and I respect the build 💚💜

drawing feels hard. snapping together pieces based on directions feels like just the right amount of mental energy that I’m capable of at the moment.

anyway [jazzhands] somewhat an AU, not entirely sure how deep into this i wanna go/how hard I’m committing, but i do love domesticity and families but i cannot possibly see rika or anne doing anything BUT adopting, personally
