Welcome to ask-meowscarada! This is a Pokémon character blog made for fun, and as such will be very informal and silly at times. There’s some light lore and story involved, so check out the links below if you’re interested!

(( april turned out a LOT MORE RIDICULOUS than i thought so i'm still on hiatus, but i wanted to update to show i'm still around!
i might queue some older posts so people have stuff to look at, but no idea when i'll be comfortable enough to reopen the ask box (i've hardly had the chance to work on anything)
on another note: i really want to remake this blog's icon soon (tbh, i never really liked the way it looked), so if anyone has any ideas besides just a redraw, lmk!!! ))
The bloodbath has already brought in our first casualty! Altair has stepped on a landmine!

Riddle: "I've played Animal Crossing, so I've basically got this. Wait where did my teammate—"
(( ...soon!
i don't have an exact timeline but in about a week i'm gonna close the ask box and take a small break. biggest reason is because next week we have a friend traveling to stay with us, so it'll be a mini vacation for us (we're going up north to see the solar eclipse, too)!
the other reason is because i want to update blog assets, like the character profiles and emotes, and prioritizing those instead of asks is the only way i'll get it done LAUGHS
they're all pretty minor tweaks stemming from me changing my mind the more i draw these guys, so like riddle's shoulder fur and the length of charade's mask. i'm also completely changing the way i draw jack's "hair" because it gives me so much trouble so all of his assets will need to be at least partially remade OTL
so, if you wanted to send any asks before i close up, now's the time! note that i don't NEED asks, so this isn't an ask call, but i figured i'd give a heads up in case anyone was thinking about it. :D
in the meantime, here's a sketch for an ask i won't end up using but it's kind of a fun preview for my next post~
(addendum: if you saw my other post WE FINALLY GOT POWER BACK my pets are safe and happy but i'm mad i lost a weekend i could've had to work LOL) ))

"THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME HANG OUT THOUGH, YOU'RE REALLY NICE... ANYWAYS, I DON'T LIKE TALKING ABOUT ME. EVERYONE ASKS ME ABOUT ME. CAN WE TALK ABOUT YOU? THIS RIGHT HERE IS YOU, CHARADE. NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CHARADE. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE CHARADE? PLEASE, CHARADE, I'VE BEEN DYING TO TALK ABOUT THE CHARADE WITH YOU ALL DAY, OKAY?"
Charade: “Like when I was called Floragato, I was supposed to be a battler! I always tried to think of the battle arena as like a stage, but... Oh! But that's not about Charade, is it?”
Charade: “Hmm... I like computer games! My friend Riddle lets me use his laptop to play games sometimes. I mostly like the kinds of games that let you build little houses and stuff. You can join my server and play with me if you want! I'll share my diamonds with you!”
Charade: “I also like card games and board games! ...I think I already told you that, though. I like magic tricks... but most Meowscarada probably do, huh? ...Este... I'm not used to talking about Charade. People usually ask me about being a Meowscarada, not about being Charade. I never thought the difference was that important...”
(@ask-edens-experiments Toxin @ Charade):
“So, what are you, some kind of clown or something? I gotta admit, I’ve never seen your kind before…” The Pikachu frowns as he tilts his head. “Unless you’re an experiment too. But… I don’t know what you coulda been before— well, assuming you even are one, no offense.”
Riddle: “Clown is accurate.”
Charade: “NO IT'S NOT! I'm a Meowscarada! Didn't you read the URL?!”
Charade: “If I WAS an experiment... That might explain some things. But! I did have parents who looked like me, and I've met other Meowscarada before. I'm not special.”
Riddle: “Don't say that. You might not look that different from other Meowscarada, but that doesn't mean you've got nothing to offer.”
Charade: “YOU called me a CLOWN a second ago you big stupid potato! You can't come back from that!”
(Cyrus @ Blackjack) "I've been recounting something recently, so I find it necessary to ask- do you have a particular reason in choosing to evolve? Most 'mons that I am familiar with evolve at one point or another... I would be curious to hear your tale, that is, should you wish to share it."
Blackjack: “Aha, well, the first time was actually by accident! W-when it started happening, I knew what was going on, but I didn’t do anything to stop it. It was a little embarrassing!”
Blackjack: “Th-the second time, w-well, um…”
Blackjack: “…It was a-after we left the forest. E-evolution stones are pretty rare, and I’d—I’d given up hope of it ever happening. But…”
Blackjack: “...When Tricky found that stone... L-let's just say it wouldn't have been the first time he saved my life.”
Test phone doodle for @ask-meowscarada features Charade in magician dress.
Charade: "¡Feliz cumpleaños!" (She waves her open palm over her empty fist, and from seemingly thin air, a bouquet of flowers appears. She hands it to you, grinning.) "I heard it was a special day! Hey, you don't happen to have cake for everyone...?"
¡Muchas gracias! Sorry, I am not native in Paldean, but those flowers look so beautiful and unique!

Canela continues to laugh nervously, trying to laugh off the moment as her own thoughts race in her head. What do I do, what do I do now! A sharp, pulsing pain quickly enters her head, causing her to groan and hold her head. She tries to shake it off only to be met with a dark, foreboding voice that whispers into her mind.
@ask-enchantingdelights ANALOG HORROR MOMENT REAL
Under the cut not because it's BRICKSHIT scary, i don't find it even unnerving, but because i know some people aren't that strong like i am so yeah ^^’ enjoy if it's possible, whoever's giving this a look!
Charade and the team have received some tins of loose-leaf mint tea, a chunk of dusk stone ore and a hand-made scarf! Though, it seems the sender wishes to remain anonymous...
Happy Star Sending to @ask-meowscarada!! I absolutely loved all of your characters' lists and couldn't choose just one, so I tried my best to have Ari fulfil a wish from each of them! Reading through your blog from the start again to get to know the characters as well as I could was a really fun experience and I had an absolute blast drawing them all together - I can only hope I've done them justice!!!
(( OH MY GOSH MY HEART—YOU DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB WITH THIS BUT I'M HONOURED YOU PUT SO MUCH LOVE AND CARE INTO IT <33 especially seeing them together at the end there, you captured them all so perfectly and aaaaaaa your art is just so so so pretty ;_;
thank you so much!! the gang (and myself!) are gonna love their gifts forever!! ))
(( Here’s my Star Sending gift, for @connectedspace! <3
I am SO sorry this took much longer than anticipated to get out to you—I did have a lot of fun working on it, though, and I hope Khaos enjoys her new presents!
Cameos are @ask-boreal’s Bolt and @ask-enchantingdelights’ Paige! I wanted to give a special thanks to you two: Addie for writing out the text for the letter, and Splotchi for drafting the layout of the third panel (the collage). And of course, thanks to all of @pokeask-star-sending for hosting the event!! ))
