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
i made an askblog for my cardverse for ✨funsies✨ (also to improve my skills bc haha artblock) Here's the link if you want to try and send an ask (warning im not good at drawing, i just have a wild imagination😭)
taang in the comics part 4
ladies and gentlemen, the ONLY good comic: Imbalance.
everyone is so in character i LOVE IT except Aang. But in the good way. I genuinely got whiplash when reading this cuz?? is that rlly Aang?? omg hes so good. THIS is what aang stans think show-Aang is but hes rlly not. I love Aang's personality here. Confident, calm Avatar, still with a silly side, doesn't get angry irrationally, still heard Toph out when she suggested taking away his bending even tho I just KNOW show/gly Aang would've gotten angry/preachy with her.
Also this is a good example of what I mean where Kataang would be so good if they were just handled well! I LOVE them in this comic. Theyre so good and sweet together, espcially when they visited that island. She was supportive, but not in a way that made it feel like Aang was throwing a tantrum and she was shouldering it—cuz thats honestly what it felt like in the show. No. Here, it genuinely feels like one person talking about their problems and the other being supportive of them. A natural, equal relationship. Also they didn't call each other sweetie. Not even once. I love that for them. They managed to be rlly sweet together as a couple without resorting to cringe cliche moments like in GLY's.
However, while I did think Kataang was cute here, im still a Taang truther LMAO every panel with them together i went 'thats him and his wife fr'. Look how good they are together omg, I love their canonical height difference. And Toph is so pretty here, especially in her pajamas. Imbalance is what I think Aang and Toph would be canonically had they been in a relationship in the show. He doesn't get angry here, he's stable and grounded and not preachy. He hears out her opinion even when he clearly doesn't agree (as he was stunned when she suggested taking away his bending) and didn't even refuse it. He didn't say no. He just said he'd think about it. Even to Katara, he didn't outright say that he disagreed with Toph, he js asked for her counsel. But ik damn well the Aang from the show would've gotten mad and preached his monk values to her like he did with Katara in TSR. I also like the way he always cares for her throughout the comic, asking for her opinion, asking where she is—even when he didn't take on her suggestion of taking away Liling's bending, he still asked her if she was okay with it (with him doing a different plan) which I thought was rlly sweet. Just not in-character for show-Aang. No, this Aang is way better fr. I personally think this is how he would be had he been with Toph instead. His emotions are more stable, he's more confident and realized, set on his beliefs but not to the point where it'd blind him to other people's opinions—such traits align with my hc of how Toph would've affected him. Grounding and stabilizing him through her tough but understanding nature.
Unfortunate, bc Imbalance is how good Kataang could've been. But no, imo they're more like GLY. Which is why I think their marriage wasn't all that good in the future. Imbalance Kataang would never neglect Bumi and Kya. You know who would, tho? GLY Kataang.
In North and South, she literally told Malina that Malina had a change of heart bc she fell in love with Katara's Dad and that she'd revert back once she fell out of love like?? Girl?? What kind of thinking is that? Is it not possible that Malina came to her own realizations about the southerners on her OWN?? cuz yk shes a human being with her own thoughts and feelings? She's implying that Malina's—and essentially women in general, bc the way Katara phrased it didnt seem like singling out Malina specifically—beliefs are that weak and easily swayed based on whether she's in love or not. Which is crazy to me? Its obvious Malina had her own genuine realizations about the southerners that impacted her deeply—yes, maybe Hakoda inspired her, but her beliefs aren't going to magically revert if she stops being with Hakoda. It lowkey says smth about her and Aang's relationship cuz wdym? are your beliefs rlly that reliant on ur man??
Oh kataang the potential you couldve had :((

((OOC? IC? We don’t even know. Derping admins are derping.))
Name: Feliciano Vargas
Specialty: N/A
Place of Origin: Altomare, Johto
Team: Popplio, Togekiss, Persian, Smeargle, Latias, Evee
Not for battle: Psyduck, Slurpuff, Azumarill
Pokemon he hates/fears: he's easily scared of big and rugged Pokemon, such as Yao's Gyrados and Ludwig's Tyranitar, and especially Gilbert's Gengar, who loves to tease Feliciano.
Feliciano, son of the esteemed former Pokemon Champion Romulus Vargas, feels the weight of high expectations due to his father's legacy. To live up to his family's reputation, Feliciano pursued the path of a trainer. He excelled in defensive strategies, a tactic often deemed disadvantageous, his nimble Pokemon's evasion skills prevented them from taking hits, propelling him swiftly up the ranks. However, despite his achievements, Feliciano lacks confidence in his abilities, convinced that his success in the Final Test was a stroke of luck. Immediately after the test, he befriended Ludwig and Kiku, then never left their side. After the test, he quickly befriended Ludwig and Kiku, sticking by their side ever since. They take charge of battles for him as he only engages if absolutely necessary. He is a skilled trainer, but his hesitation to battle hinders him. His confidence lies more in his performance skills than in regular battling. Encouraged by Francis, he regularly indulged in Pokemon showcases even while he was a trainer. Now an adult, he thrives as a showcase performer under Francis, relieved of the pressure to uphold his family legacy.

Mile high
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.
Okay so yall saw his bodyguard/assassin clothes, now for his post-coronation clothes (its blurry from afar but if you click on it its clearer)
the jewel got messed up HDGJSHJD and did i use the genshin model as a base pose? yes, because i can
And this is them side by side!
You'll notice Alfred's is more modern and detailed, reflecting how he is the one advancing the kingdom in technological ways (hence the robotic looking gloves), and it being a suit shows how he is the one handling diplomatic/foreign relations as he is the more charismatic of the two. On the other hand, Ivan's outfit is more subtle yet traditionally regal, reflecting how he is the one keeping the kingdom grounded to its culture and traditions and not letting them become too absorbed with the future, remembering to honor the past as well. His being a military hussar jacket also shows how he is the more ruthless(?) one, handling military and surveillance around the kingdom. I also wanted Alfred to be in clothes he can move more easily in, because true to his roots as a commoner, he moves in a fun and playful way that didn't indicate at all he was royalty. He's also more active (belligerent LMAO) because of his past as an assassin, while Ivan is the more elegant one.
also height difference because yes
Hello! sorry for the bothering! May I can I repost your rusame art on Xiaohongshu=rednote?(If you can’t, that’s okay!)bec Chinese people ABSOLUTELY LOVE that ship!! THANKS🌟💓
YES OFC just with credit pls🙏
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.
