Hurricane Helpers (day 1)

Hurricane Helpers (day 1)

Well, day 1-ish lol - my friend Professor Case & I opened up our Hurricane Helper Collab to raise relief funds for Hurricanes Helene & Milton for the US southeast coast last night, buuuuut I only got a few done from how late it was, & poor Case was hunkering down from the storm, only getting power / connection back around afternoon today (she’s otherwise safe & sound, no worries! 🩵)

As of this day 1 1/2, these are the Hurricane Helpers I’ve made so far as thank-you’s for donations:

The last two were a special treat, what with our favorite train twins living rent free in my head from DxP REWRITE lol (seriously they’re showing up in my dreams).

Again, if you’d like to participate, just visit either my Kofi or Professor Case’s Kofi, & comment the Pokemon you’d like as a thank you with your donation (or if you’d rather donate directly to our chosen charity, Greater Good Charities, just screenshot your donation & message us with your requested Pokemon!).

On behalf of both of us, we’re so grateful for the donations so far to help those affected by the hurricanes. No donation is too small - every penny is greatly appreciated (& you get a rainy doodle as a bonus!) 🩵

Thank you so, so much! 🌧️

PS: if you’re really hurting for cash & can’t donate (been there 🥲), one very easy, free way to support us is just reblogging this post or the last ones I made! That way, the word spreads out to anyone who can afford it. Thank you! 🩵🩵🩵

Trying to get a feel for the quick thank you drawings we’re gonna make when Professor Case & I got this all set up. We’re thinking 5 minute doodles, though this one took a liiiiiittle extra time…as it’s a little extra special! I reached 5K follows on Instagram, & here on Tumblr, I’m steadily on my way to 700, which is a LOT more than I ever really expected to get! Thank you so, so much! 878

Castform is actually based on a little weather charm called a “てるてる坊主 / teru teru bozu” or “sunshine monk”, which is a little doll made from fabric or paper hung up by the window to help pray the rain away. Sora & I are likewise Wishing all of you affected by the hurricanes to stay safe & sound with all our hearts. 🩵

Hurricane Helpers Collaboration 🌧️

Ansy: I’m teaming up with my friend on IG, PKMN Professor Case, to raise funds for hurricane relief efforts in areas affected by recent storms.

Case: As Hurricane Milton approaches, we’re creating special thank-you art for anyone who contributes to our fundraiser to support those in need. Details coming soon—stay tuned for how you can help!

From both of us, thank you! & if you are/were in the path of either hurricane, stay safe. 🩵

Hi! Why wasn't the pokemon Ansy used in battle against the plasma grunt out helping her? Was it returned to the ball and then that was when the scene happened?

Returned to their ball - Ansy won the battle, but that grunt was a sore loser so he decided to go for Rain (who doesn’t hang out in a Poké Ball, usually sitting on Ansy’s head like in “Let’s Go! Eevee”). Took her by surprise.

Made some more of these trainer encounters for my commission sheet I’m working on! I had the fun idea to offer “Single Battle” & “Double Battle” drawings either line-art or full-color, with 1-6 Pokémon per drawing (1-3 each for Doubles, just like in the game!)

For the “Single Battle” example, I drew more “me-Ansy” than “comic-Ansy” (lol) with the plush team you’ve been seeing in those slice of life posts I’d do (still waiting on the last 2 members, hopefully for Christmas!). Really looking forward to it getting cool enough for me to wear my cozy cloudy sweater more~ ☁️

For the “Double Battle” I drew Ansy & Ikrit as a “Kimono Couple”! Kimono / Furisode Girl is a trainer class who wear traditional Japanese clothes & use Eeveelutions, perfect for our Eevee family lol. Reminds me of the Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom Festival)! 🌸 I need that kimono

I’m hoping to have the completed sheet done soon. Again, I won’t be able to do too many at a time (the Double Battle definitely ate up a lot of my time / energy lollllll), but yeah! Should be fun!

DxP REWRITE - Dishonor Among Thieves

Back when I was figuring out the brothers’ early friendship with Ansy during her PKMN Black run, I had the thought that Rain (Eevee), a very rare, foreign Pokémon, would be a target for Team Plasma (until N tells them not to touch her again). From there, I figured a good first meeting was them teaching Team Plasma exactly what happens if they try to cause trouble in their subway.

There are a lot of people in our world who don’t see mental illness - or “mental injury” as I like to call (C-)PTSD - as a real health condition, let alone a disability. Some say ugly things to shame others they label as “entitled” or “weak”. Sometimes they’re raised that way, sometimes they’re confused or have some sort of inner resentment, or sometimes they’re just plain awful.

If you struggle with mental illness / injury, you’re not entitled or weak for needing extra help navigating life, whether it be a service animal, therapy, a trip to the hospital, or just a friend. It’s real, even if people around you can’t / won’t see it. 🩵

PS: my headcanon is that evil team Grunts have little themed codenames, too (knights for classic Team Plasma, maybe meteoroids / asteroids for Team Galactic, etc).

DxP REWRITE - Soft Words

Based on many real conversations 🩵 Also Gen 8 tent because that was the BEST, dammit. Makes me wanna sign in to Sword again just to camp out, play with my Pokémon & make curry. 🍛

Sasha (Glaceon) isn’t trained like Rain is to notice / respond to Ansy’s moments where she disassociates or gets lost in a memory or feeling, but he’s picked up on it over the few years Ansy & Ikrit’s been together. I’d imagine he can be sensitive to her feelings like his trainer, too. ❄️
