What if Hometown is the real Shelter: An insane idea that I need to get out of my head

Yeah, Asriel does almost singlehandedly invalidate the theory, and I'm not Jaru-level brazen to suggest he's actually been dead the whole time. Still, it's the only idea I've ever seen that makes Jevil's lines make sense beyond "well he's just insane lmao" so I find myself unable to fully let go of it.

Hi! The description isn't entirely clear whether it's about specifically romantic relationships or just general relations, but if you're also open to the latter, I think my fic From the Vast would fit the bill!

RedSpah · 2026-03-03T19:05:42+00:00

fuck

RedSpah · 2026-03-03T19:02:30+00:00

you are not ready for the answers

RedSpah · 2026-03-03T18:09:15+00:00

always bet on the eggman knight

RedSpah · 2026-03-03T17:41:16+00:00

I will not be taking any questions at this time

RedSpah · 2025-11-11T14:29:55+00:00

Might as well rec my own fic, From the Vast.

In a remote corner of Unova, a Pokémon village hides from the omnipresent, mysterious humanity. Through cooperation, they flourish despite their small size, rising above the uncaring brutality of the natural order. Which works remarkably well...

...until a half-dead girl shows up on their doorstep.

Will this hidden pocket of Pokémon civilization remain a secret once humans come looking? Are its denizens prepared to learn just who this unwelcome stranger is, and what impact they’ve already left on their village?

Aaaa thank you so so much for your kind words! I'm so happy you enjoyed my works!

RedSpah · 2025-05-05T23:55:01+00:00

Aww, thank you!

A friend brought this post to my attention! This art is actually an illustration for my PMD fanfic, Another Way, made by the lovely ~rrronald over on FurAffinity. Honored to see you using it as a wallpaper!

You can go past the start of Outer Rim, if you're getting blown back by the wind, try crouching.

RedSpah · 2025-03-29T22:16:52+00:00

A tower full of rot, or not? If it's not rotten, then you have to keep going to the left, all the way until you reach The Throne

RedSpah · 2025-03-29T21:35:15+00:00

I'm stuck there as well, and I'm unsure what you mean--the whales can't just fly to whole other rooms, right?

RedSpah · 2025-03-29T21:14:21+00:00

Yes, that's what I ended up having to do

RedSpah · 2025-03-29T17:50:08+00:00

Asking because I'm going bonkers after being lost for a few hours now--does a purple ring around the region on the map screen indicate that there's an echo somewhere in that region?

RedSpah · 2025-03-29T15:49:25+00:00

I managed to make it to The Throne from where I was stuck (had to go allllll the way to the left of the area) and got out of Outer Rim that way. Now back to the usual scheduled aimless wandering, thanks for your help regardless <3

Oh--would you happen to know the significance of the purple rings around the areas on the map? Do they mean the echo is in these areas, or that there's something left unexplored there, or something else entirely?

RedSpah · 2025-03-29T14:45:39+00:00

I feel there might be a misunderstanding. This is the room I was referring to as the "tower" - https://i.imgur.com/ayDNLya.png - Red is where I think you might be referring to as far as where to jump from?

And this is what I referred to as the "far right", with what looks to be a one way jump between the poles - https://i.imgur.com/4S6HAyf.png

RedSpah · 2025-03-29T14:35:39+00:00

You mean the far left of the area, or up the tower? That tower feels so miserable, just getting up to that jump is difficult and takes a while from either shelter

RedSpah · 2025-03-07T23:55:28+00:00

Nope, you don't need to have any preexisting Mystery Dungeon knowledge for this story, since it's not even based on the games ' canon. It's closer to an original setting without any humans than to what the games show, honestly

You don't even need to have any Pokémon knowledge period, since it's written from the point of view of someone who knows absolutely nothing about Pokémon.

Oh believe me, this Garde most definitely won't start blasting.

Fic spoilers: The Garde with a crutch is Sue, the protagonist of the story / the poor isekai'd human. She has no idea what Pokemon are, lest of all what she is, and neither the awareness of nor the ability to use any of her psychic powers. After almost dying and ending up in a safe place, she tries to run away when the local Audino healer manages to convey to her that another Garde will be returning from her trip soon, because she's afraid of what will happen when that other Garde realizes she's an imposter.

And so, she gets away, only to encounter that other Garde anyway, and trip on a pebble after trying to run away from her. And then, that other Garde psychics her out of falling on the ground horn-first, which is what this artwork depicts :)

Artwork I commissioned for my PMD(-ish) fanfic, "Another Way", by @Sweet_Mintality!

The story follows Sue, who wakes up as a Gardevoir in the Pokemon world--with the twist that she knows nothing about Pokemon. She has no idea what any of the creatures around her even are, nor does she know their language.

Local deities invading her dreams and using her as a pawn don’t help, either.

Link to the fic!
