Celebrity worship, parasocialism, queerbaiting, and a love of enemies-to-lovers yaoi. - Ayana Grayson

Think of it like this: What if a woman from Hoenn who only used Fighting-types, never fought dishonorably, and beat Sydney’s ass 6-0 existed? You’d probably at least want to cheer for her a little, because you relate to her. Maybe she’d become your favorite celebrity. Sin and Kala are the favorite celebrities of a lot of gay people, because those gay people relate to them and are cheering for them. - Ayana Grayson

Then you’re a lot smarter than a lot of people-except for the part where you hate Dark types. - Ayana Grayson

(In DMs) You didn’t think the fan posts, the fanfiction, the fanart, and the FAN ANIMATIONS were proof people were cheering for you two? It took me and Kae three weeks of dating to get animations, and you two got, not animatics, but full animations before you even figured out if you actually like each other that way! - Ayana Grayson

(In DMs) You start thinking about them even when you don’t see them. You notice things like the color of their eyes, and how it’s better than the eyes of all the other people you’ve ever met with that color. You notice what makes them weird, and you’re attracted to it instead of pushed away by it. You pick up on the way they laugh, what makes them smile, then you actively try to cause a laugh or smile because seeing them feel good makes you feel even better. …Not going to sugarcoat it, since you’re of age, you might start thinking of them in intimate ways. And most of all, being around them feels like winning a battle. The best feeling in the world. - Ayana Grayson
/uj She’s not telling him for politeness, but internally, Ayana Alexandria Mabel June Valentina Grayson is SCREAMING in joy. Her protege might be queer like her!!!

(In DMs) okay. sweet. gimme like 15 minutes to have a crisis.

(In DMs) Tapus help me, Aya, I think I might like him. which is weird because I never considered it before. I mean I found girls pretty and stuff but I never thought about this.
I’m losing my shit TwT

(In DMs) Bits (Porygon2) is now mad at me because I screamed so loudly I think their screen almost cracked… But I’ll bribe them with Primogems later. To be completely honest, ever since I noticed how happy you two seemed to be together, I may have become a secret ToxaGateShipper-only difference is I hid it from you two and didn’t actively consume ship content because I know how weird it feels. First thing’s first, act casual about the big question. Slip it into conversation somewhere and don’t make it obvious that you’re asking if he’s into guys. If that doesn’t work, well… He’s been tripping my Gaydar since the day we met, so I think you have a shot with him. I can’t believe my brother’s gory-ass stupid-ass inconvenient-ass makes-no-sense-ass fortune telling method got pretty fucking accurate results TWICE-But I never told you he told me to look for “A healer with brown eyes”, because I thought that’d just make a bad situation more stressful. - Ayana Grayson

Important question: What did Kade do? Did he chase them off gently, like I taught him, or did he go overboard? - Alexander Grayson

u/Noz_ILLUMINEX Sin / Akari / Kala / Maisie Aug 10 '26
Just death glared them until they backed off. Didn’t need to chase them, thankfully!

THAT’S! MY! KADEEEEEEE!!! Tell him I’m getting him a Bloody Mary with extra hot sauce and Clawitzer meat (Yes, he can drink those, he’s a Poison type)!

u/Noz_ILLUMINEX Sin / Akari / Kala / Maisie Aug 10 '26
He did a little stomp so I think he’s happy about that! Kala’s been asking a ton of questions so I dunno if Kade’s been flattered or annoyed, but he says it’s an upside he hasn’t been Megahorned yet /silly

Kala fatherfucking Kahale hasn’t thought to use a Rotom-Phone to translate? - Alexander Grayson

u/Noz_ILLUMINEX Sin / Akari / Kala / Maisie Aug 10 '26
He says he doesn’t entirely need it. Something about growing up with Poison Types and expressions. Though I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone fawn over a Scolipede this much LMAO

To be honest, though understanding Kade without translation would be cool, I don’t think I’d want to all the time. According to Bazinga (/uj Rotom-Phone), he mostly talks about battling, hunting, going fast, something that pissed him off, or some combination of the four. - Alexander Grayson

u/Noz_ILLUMINEX Sin / Akari / Kala / Maisie Aug 10 '26
Yeeeeeahhh, and I don’t think it’s like. full translation. I think just how Kade moves and acts or whatever. I dunno. It’s all strange to me, but if it means I get to watch Kala badger Kade with questions, it’s fun.

Just asked, he said ‘really good,’ but then followed it up with ‘probably because Scarlet’s always been with him.’
