My silly straight couple <3
When the teacher makes me and bro sit on separately
I wanna talk about aliens. I want to talk to Okarun! I want to talk to Ayase-san! I want to talk about ghosts!
Dandadan Episode 05 - Okarun & Momo + Mutual Pining
does anyone else miss okaruns fuckass bowlcut?? like holy shit youre so ugly and nerdy i love you . i think his bowl cut gave him character but i love his little perm situation too ❤️
Pt. 1 Pt. 3
Reasons for the choices under the cut
Gengar - Okarun's team had a lot of alien and cryptid Pokemon so I wanted Momo's to have a lot of ghost Pokemon and Gengar is THE ghost Pokemon. It's also a mischievous and fun loving pokemon that haunts older buildings like Seiko's house. Definitely see them having a more Misty and Psyduck like dynamic where Momo has to reel her Gengar in when it starts annoying her.
Mawile - I like to think Momo would want Pokemon that resembled Yokai but were also cool/cute looking to her. Mawile is based on the Futakuchi onna and it's menacing while also being cute so I think Momo would like it. It's tough and cute like she wants to be
Froslass - It's based on the Yuki onna and has a thing for handsome men similar to how Momo likes cool handsome men like Ken Takakura. They can also be rather aggressive to those that wrong them like Momo is towards Aira or Turbo Granny and it's kimono like design resembles the clothes Momo wears to confront Turbo Granny in season one.
Shiftry - It's based on a Tengu which is also a Japanese folklore spirit but it's also an older Pokemon so I like to think she got it from Seiko personally even if she complained that her cute Seedot didn't stay that way.
Cherrim - I really wanted her to at least have one fruit Pokemon since Momo's literally named after a peach and I ended up choosing Cherrim for that. I also chose it cause the way that it's two forms are either really bright or literally hidden away reflects how she attempts to close herself off to certain people.
Simipour - Ik it's not a popular Pokemon but hear me out, the three elemental monkeys are inspired by various Japanese subcultures and Simipour is specifically based on Gyarus. There's also the fact that Simipour sees no evil and Momo literally learns to not rely so much on her physical eyesight so she can improve with her powers. She learns to see no evil. Also, Simipour is partially based on hot springs and Momo likes going to hot springs.
Oh my fucking god, they're too precious
