    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Omg juicy review :quag: This is something that has tripped up multiple people - but yes, HIM and the magic Red uses are supposed to be real, and it isn't supposed to be ambiguous. This story isn't going to be going for the "oooh it's all in le head" trope (for that aspect), and it's probably...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Thanks for the review! Well, the fact is that the second prologue is not actually far from the rest of the story in style. Both prologues show elements that are present in successive chapters - the first shows how Red is when he's deep into his whole Helixian priest persona, and the second...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Ohhh my goddd I'm so happy reading your comments 😊😊😊 Thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah, the whole HELIX thing is admittedly a mess. Little Helix being tied to HELIX is basically 100% just because of the fic's origins in TPP, which is why Little Helix isn't even going to be a character...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Thanks for the review! Gastly are able to create illusions in the anime, like in the episode with the infamous mongoose and Venustoise. Since I don't think it's addressed in the story: sapience is required to speak human languages (unless you're just parroting words), but there are many...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Thank you for the kind words! So initially I was all "...FUCK" here, but thinking about it more, it actually makes sense in this universe that he didn't try anything with pokéballs because in HHverse pokémon can self-release depending on the ball and their sapience level. Since Joanna is...

    hi all! here i am with the extra i promised. this is the first thing i wrote from samson's perspective, so i had to go back and tweak it a little according to how i wrote samson in judgment. anyway, rated teen for some violent imagery. see you next week for the upload of the first chapter of...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Thirteen - It's Over

    so my breakneck speed with revising continued, and i have now completed this fic (save for the extra, which i forgot about until now). i will, though, pace myself with the updates, giving them once a week. not that itll last for very long anymore - this is the penultimate chapter. although next...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Thanks for the review exchange! Yep, you're correct. Red has trauma in regards to PCs since those were the site of many deaths and stressful situations. Real! This is actually based on a real building I visited at the start of my mental health journey. Correct! Joe's a character from the...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Twelve - The Skin

    hello everybody! it's been a while, almost a year. but this time the wait was at least partially intentional so it doesn't count. i've been recovering from my terrible mental health episode and a few days ago i finally found myself ready to pick this story up again - yep, a few days! it's record...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Haha uhhh well the bad news is that HH goes into the TPP stuff very little. This is partly because it would clog up the rest of the story and partly because that stuff was dealt with more in Seiren, the story that comes chronologically before HH. Helix (the little one) plays a much larger role...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Eleven - Got You Now

    a standing ovation for a new record in time between chapters everyone. five months. couldnt have done it without you. no but seriously i do have pretty good reasons for taking so long this time - working on Judgment, working on my contest oneshot, working on another oneshot, summer job...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Thanks for the review! Thanks especially for checking out both prologues and the first chapter. It is canon to this, though it ended when his journey did, around six years ago. I'm very glad to hear this! I hope you like what's to come - it does go a bit lighter for a couple of chapters after...

    I don't think I can really say or even call attention to it without spoiling things... but it's there. It may be clearer in retrospect. Totally! From the beginning, I designed Samson to be as much of an opposite of Red as possible - cheerful, sociable, altruistic, great relationship with...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Loving the analysis! I'd say it's accurate save for the part of Red not being excited for killing itself - the power is a big part of it, but so is the gore. I'm very glad that Red's mental distress is coming across well - he talks shit and all, but he's actually miserable and afraid. While he...

    AMERICAN PSYCHO MENTIONED :quag:HELL YEA I'm so happy to hear this!!! I'm excited for the original version, but I've also been nervous, and words like this give me more confidence. This is pretty much true, and it is something that I feel a bit conflicted about. On one hand, I love what I've...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    I'm a bit worried that this would make people erroneously assume that HE is Kohath, though, when Kohath was just one of HIS servants and a form HE likes to take when talking to Red. Well, at least it isn't the end of chapter 10. You'll find out why in due time. Some years ago. Feel too much...
