Join sisters Turnip and Risa as they begin their journey to... Turnip's auncle?
This blog is run by Sparx (she/they, Twitter). This is an experimental blog to help me loosen up my art, so style may vary from post to post. Posts will also vary in frequency; I have a full time job, commissions, and video games- I draw when I feel like it, so if posts are slow, that's why!
Characters:
Bijoux@Morpheus: So, you're involved with genetic coding and mutations? Is that something you're able to do on the fly, or is there a set of guidelines you have to follow for that sort of thing? Like, are there limits to the what you can and can't do with DNA? Seems like an awful lot of power for any one Pokemon to have. Like, the ability to change someone... wait, have mortal Pokemon ascended into legendaries that way? Genetic code rewriting?? That opens a whole new can of Wurmples on all the theories!
Feat. some twins and human(?).
Blackjack: (He seems nervous to be approaching Risa, until his gaze meets hers… Something about the cooling colour of her eyes puts him at ease.) “Y-you live in such a pretty place! I bet you have a lot of friends here, too. Is there a sort of community here, of other LGBT Pokémon?”
“LG…?”
“Oh!”
“Though, there was some gossip about the captain of the guard a while back…”
“I don’t really understand it myself, and I don’t think I know anyone else in a similar situation. But…”
“He seems really happy. Happier than he was before he started his family. So I’m happy for him.”
“Oh, that was more information than you asked for, wasn’t it? My apologies…”
(Eon, Champ, and Falcon from @askeon)
"Mx. Cyrus! Lookit this! Doesn't it seem like fun!" The Sprigatito hurries over to their guardian, holding an envelope. "'Star Sending'... Do you think we could meet new people this way? We could make 'em smile, too!"
The Espeon looks over the contents quietly before nodding their head. "Yes, perhaps so, Young Master." Cyrus skims over the list again and tilts their head. "What do you think we should purchase for them?"
"I've got a better idea," Prince exclaims, pulling out a map from Cyrus's bag. "I bet we could make something with the flowers in Artazon!"
Cyrus: "Greetings. An honor to meet you." They bow to both Risa and Turnip.
Prince: "We made these for ya! Hope ya like them. C'mon, open it up, open it up!"
Prince excitedly hands his box to Turnip, Cyrus chuckling and shaking their head before floating their box over to Risa.
Prince: "Ta-da! Some flowers from Artazon! They're- um... G-gaze..."
Cyrus: "Gazanias. And Blue Geraniums, I believe?"
Prince: "Yeah! One means something like 'treasure', and 'loyalty'! That's what they said, right?"
(@ask-the-shiny-pokemons) Rimi @ Turnip: "Your dad is Xerneas you say?" she curiously smiles. "I mean, your auncle is Zygarde, but is there a Yveltal in your family?"
“Oh, I think I know! Isn’t that the name from that story?”
“Oh, I think you’re right. But that’s just a story.”
(@ask-sarah-and-co) luna @ turnip
Ah, it’s you. It’s a pleasure to see you again. Luna bows her head politely. Your father is a Xerneas, you say? She thinks for a second, What is he like? Is his nature closer to yours or maybe your sister’s?
“Oh! Hi again, Miss Luna!”
“My dad is definitely more like Risa. He’s very kind and cares very deeply for others, but he’s also kinda shy and quiet. He spends a lot of time thinking and watching.”
Bijoux@Risa: Why don’t you think you’d make a good princess or queen? I bet you would be a great queen if you wanted to! Or are you just not as good at the whole “royalty” thing involving subjects and all that?

(Prince@Morpheus) "This must be a pretty big forest! Where... exactly is it? And what is your relationship with the family here!" The Sprigatito bounces with excitement from every question. "Do you enjoy being out here?"
(Ask-Eden)Alaxia@Turnip: the mew curiously approaches the deerling, floating slightly above. “Pardon my intrusion. But you mentioned your father is a xerneas…” his ears prick up slightly “but he isn’t immortal? How exactly does that work? I’ve never heard of the god of life not being able to.. well. Live. Forever. In a sense.” His brow raises “if that’s something you would know, that is.” He quickly adds, realizing he didn’t want to pester a child for this information
“And ever since, each Xerneas has lived as a mortal, as the monarch of the Forest, and then passed Xerneas’ power onto someone of their bloodline- usually Xerneas’ firstborn child- when both were ready for the transition.”
Octave@ Turnip: Ooooh you're going to be a queen someday? What will you do when that day comes? Are there special rules you must follow?
(It has been one year since I joined the pokeask community with my silly absol. One whole year. How did I get here? Like, damn. It’s just been such a lovely community and I’ve met some truly wonderful people.
I’m sorry I couldn’t get more of you on here. I wish I had the time to draw each and every one of you. This is why I needed the head shot so thank you to everyone who sent it over. Thank you to everyone in this community for being my inspirations, my joy and my friends. I cannot thank you enough. If I could make you all something more to say thank you, I would. (Also forgive me if the image quality is garbage. Tumblr does that sometimes. If you click on it, it'll be clearer.)
I suppose I’ll just go on and say I’ve always admired the community from afar. So many stories I was following. So many inspirational people. The events. The characters. They are all so wonderful. And I followed these blogs for years.
Getting hooked into everything about the ask blog community. At first, I was going to making an ask blog about a royal Goodra/Vespiquen fusion who goes to other places to make political connections for their hive. I drew up a couple of concepts but I didn’t go ahead with it.
I kept following the community, constantly being inspired and amazed by everyone inside of it. I’d wanted to join a community for a while. At first, I joined the Pokémon fusion community. It was fun. I met some great people. But, after a few years, it didn’t fill me with joy. I did fusions on multiple platforms, even making some fusions for the infinite fusions game (they’re still in there). I had a go with commissions. It just became a bit of a chore.
I tried making my own region. It only lasted a month. It left a gap which I didn’t know how to fill. I also did dnd with friends which mostly satisfied this but we didn’t do it consistently enough. I definitely miss doing it. I probably did fusions for 6 years. The blogs are still up. There was nothing I wanted to draw consistently.
Near the end of last year, I had a really tough time. My mental health took a really big dip and I was struggling. It was an incredibly dark time. I didn’t have much going on. Maybe we were doing dnd. I don’t remember though. I started drawing Pokémon because I wasn’t in the mood to draw dnd art.
I don’t know why but I started to draw an absol. I think it may have been inspired by my current dnd character. As I was drawing this absol, ideas started to form in my mind about who this absol was and the world they were from. Ideas kept flowing and flowing.
Once the absol was finished, I drew another character, and another and another. And I just kept drawing. Soon, I started drawing maps and a prophecy for this absol and their world. The name Destino came from the word Destiny. It brought me so much joy. I worked on it for a few days and put it to the side.
Then came around the 27th December 2022. I looked back on my planning for this world and thought perhaps I could turn it into an ask blog. At first, I was so nervous. I didn’t want to go through with it. My partner convinced me to make the blog. That’s when I began to draw the first post. And on December 29th 2022, I created the blog and made a reference post for Destino.
Soon, the first post was posted and I got asks. Exciting stuff! And it was so much fun deciding how Destino would respond. More asks kept coming and I eventually started sending asks to others. The most exciting part would have to be seeing people follow me who I was a huge fan of. Gonna be honest, I’m still so incredibly excited when talking to these people and when they like my stuff.
My love for this blog grew and I’ve spent a lot of my time working on it. I have loved each and every moment of it. It was fun having this smug, egotistical absol interacting with many characters who I am a huge fan of and entertaining to see their reactions. Destino was becoming a bit of a thing. Memes were made of Destino. Destino was insulting every legendary they could come across. For me, it was hilarious. And it seemed others were enjoying their antics too.
I am incredibly thankful each day with every interaction, every like, every follow, every reblog, etc. I’ve had. I’m grateful for this entire community. Every one of you has been so friendly and I love talking to you. This community has filled a void which I wasn’t sure would be filled. And I hope I can continue loving being in this community for a while. Destino is going to stick around for a while. I’ve got big plans for them and I hope to enjoy this journey with you all.
Thank you everyone. I hope I can continue to work with you all and have fun! Let’s get ready for another year of Destino.)
“First, a bat for Neo-Ka! Auncle Morphy helped me a bit with the stitching and cutting, but I drew on the face and got the stuffing. Note to self, cattails are not as good for stuffing as they seem.
“I turned the Holly into a little accessory for Wesn! It can be tied around just about anything, like an ear or a tail, or even attached to the bow he already has to give it a little flair.
“For Hope, a bouquet of my own design! I think hellebores look a little bit like gracideas. I really like daphne because it looks kinda like hydrangeas but wintery, and the winter jasmine adds a little extra color. I even asked my dad to do a little magic so they’ll stay fresh super long!
“And finally, a hand bag for Shadow! I’m extra proud of this one cuz I did most of the weaving myself. I pressed the pansies myself too!”
