Finally making a new #introduction post for 2026 (13 PPXY)   Probably will not provide much new information for the oldies, but I like updating it...

I'm Samifer, but you can call me Sam, or any other abbreviation that pleases you! French transmasc thing in his early thirties (for a couple of years still) working as a freelance artist in Austria where I currently live alongside my two partners and two cats. One of my partners is actually also on here but not very active, it's @jonphaedrus! I speak French natively, English fluently, Japanese at a beginner level (very out of practice) and just finished A1.2 for German! I can also stumble my way through understanding romance languages; I learned Spanish in school but never kept up with it so have lost most of it at this point.

My main fandom is #Pokemon  I am a gameverse appreciator first and foremost, with a specialty in Kalos-related games (so Pokémon X&Y and, more recently, Pokémon Legends: Z-A) and an even more specialized specialty in Lysandre and/or L, and shipping him with Professor Sycamore (aka #perfectworldshipping) and/or Corbeau (aka #atrociousshipping) but I'm always willing to talk about any and all things Pokémon! I love videogames as a medium and as a result most of my fandoms are videogames. I like weird/experimental games and I like walking simulators. I'm also very fond of horror games. I also like glitches, easter eggs, and creepypasta.

I share art and sometimes fic, 99% of the time fan-created (and when it's not, it's usually porn lol.) I also participate in fandom events and organize them from time to time. Since last summer I've also gotten into making websites!

If you'd like to check out my Pokémon X&Y fansite, it's available at this link: https://labo.lysandre.me/

I also have a fanlisting (et al) collective at this link: https://fan.lysandre.me/

At the end of the day, this is mostly a personal account where I ramble a lot, often in private posts. I try to keep my complaining to a minimum but sometimes it does spill out; if you're worried about having to deal with constant negativity, though, you can be sure you won't find that here. As well, I am very openly kinky and kink-positive, and do not mince words when it comes to that, so this account is very firmly  I always include warnings for both art and discussion. Just don't be surprised if you open a warning and you get exactly what was written on the tin. I'm also not interested in getting involved in discourse or pointless debates, so while I might share so-called "hot takes" you can count on me not to rehash the same online talking points over and over. I might boost opinion pieces from time to time.

That's about it!

Thank you for reading, and nice to meet you! 

Flower meadows and ocean breeze. Scented candle men.
For the Perfectworldshipping week prompt "Scent", with our boys from the Mer!Lysandre AU! One of the many subtle ways you could tell these two come from different worlds (aka Lysandre is a fish).

A little something for the Perfectworldshipping week prompt "Give and Take", with the Lysandre&Augustine from our Mer!Lysandre AU! (Here in human form, thanks to the local sea witch ;) )

As Lysandre himself says (in Masters EX at least): "It's important to share with others. Be careful not to find yourself always taking. Ensure you're also able to give."

Augustine is a very giving person in general, and they make little gifts to each other! Sometimes is more of the other's favorite food. Sometimes it's a perfect, shiny piece of fossilized ammonite shell that has immense scientifical and market value. Surprise!

(This is also an illustration for the chapter five of "Fish don't Cry", where this exact thing happens :) https://archiveofourown.org/works/75971131/chapters/207588696 )

Lil' Augustine wants to be friends with a mermaid. He thinks that throwing random objects in the water will be enough.
Remember: the sea gives, the sea takes. Hey, exactly like legendary pokémon!

Illustration to accompany a little fic, both created for the PerfectWorldShippingWeek2026! Theme: Family/Childhood.

You can read the fic here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/79217506

Looking for some samples together, now that the tide is a little lower. Isn't this what they call "quality time"?
(Once again, a sketch from our sketchbooks, done with ballpoint pen).

Wh... what is this? Is this the first chapter of the Merfolk AU fic, the one featuring mer!Lysandre and marine biologist!Sycamore???

(While we wait for the "official" post with all the links, both the original world version and the fanfiction version, I wanted to show you that we already posted the fanfiction version, yaaay! Enjoy it!)

The most beautiful man you've ever seen isn't a man. He's a silver fish, with carmine fins, and a body like a reflective ribbon stretching into the abyss.

Digital illustration for our merfolk Pokémon AU.

And we even came up with names for them! (Normally, when we "transport" characters into our AUs, we tend to change their names, since we already know the characters will change until they become completely unrecognizable OCs... so they're a bit like "Schrödinger characters," both fan-characters and canon until we "open the box," or in this case, until the book arrives).

Merman!Lysandre will be Sangreal (he already has a page! https://fantasydiario.blogspot.com/2025/12/character-sangreal.html ), while Professor Sycamore becomes Professor Seraphin Panorme, a marine biologist. You can think of it as two AUs: one where they are alternate versions of Lysandre and Professor Sycamore, and one where they are alternate versions of the alternate versions (and don't worry, we'll be working on both! Both Merman!Lysandre and Sangreal will just have more or less the same design, despite having separate identities. We guess? It's blurry, we'll see case to case).

We should start writing their story soon (fingers crossed!), and we promise it will be... absolutely epic.
