ind. reluctant pokémon coordinator OC. written by tian. fc is near from death note; this is not a death note rp blog.

[bullshittiing]

just wanted to let u all know

remember this post? well, i’ve made up my mind. if you’re wondering why i haven’t been here for a while, it’s because i’ve made the executive decision to convert nero to a pokémon verse on @becausehecheats and haven’t had time to fully move him. this is because, as i stated before, i’ve begun to feel like nero is just near from death note but Somewhat Edgier and so it would be more appropriate to put him as a verse on my near blog rather than have him maintain his own. 

that said, i still feel as though nero is distinct enough from near that using a different blog might be necessary to keep his content separate from that of canon near--lest it become too disorienting for me or for my followers (ex: i get a sudden rush of muse for nero rather than near and for a week or two i’m just posting this weirdass edgy version of the canon muse nonstop). therefore, if i don’t move him to his own verse on becausehecheats, i’ll at least be remaking this as a sideblog to near’s main.

feel free to unfollow this blog and refollow becausehecheats. i’ll keep you posted there with more updates :3

love,

天

[bullshittiing]

so i had this idea…

as some of you may be aware, i’m currently RPing NEAR aka the faceclaim for this guy over at @becausehecheats, and since nero and near share a faceclaim heck i even made his stage name similar to near’s code name lmaoooo and similar personalities…well, i think you can see where i’m going from here.

i already have two pokéverses for near, so i thought, what if there was a third. what if i merged nero into near on @becausehecheats in a weirdass AU where MELLO was Number One and near became nero instead out of his bitterness. i mean, to me it’s not that much of a stretch, since i already hc that near has punched mello in the face on at least one occasion and it was only happenstance that he grew out of that sort of shit. not to mention, in the pokémon world, a bold fighter like mello would culturally be considered stronger than the more reserved and nonviolent near, so in this AU near could be constantly jealous of mello for getting all the attention and being a straight-up better battler. the more i think about this, the more i want to do this, especially since i feel increasingly like hey, nero is just near if i made near edgier.

therefore i want to ask you all, would you be willing to continue rping with this muse if i merged him with near? and for those of you in the death note fandom, would you find such a timeline and altered personality plausible for near’s character?

A cocky grin pulls at the water-type         master’s lips, glad to be TRANSPARENT to a certain         point.         “You are absolutely right monsieur. Everyone in the         Elite Four is corrupt to some degree, I believe.”

❝why am i not surprised,❞ he says, returning the other man’s smile--but seeing that self-serving smirk turns his grin into a grimace. it’s starting to dawn on him that this man isn’t just stating the facts of his position, but rather actively boasting about them.

❝what, are you here to rub it in?❞

hikaup:

yo, I’m just gonna put this out here so it’s as clear-cut as possible: I have a professional code of ethics I must abide by that makes me a compulsory reporter of sexual exploitation and abuse of minors. Child abuse prevention and response is basically the Hippocratic Oath of the pedagogical world, and that applies in all aspects of my life. If I am aware of explicit evidence of any sex crime committed against a minor, even online, I am obligated to do something about it and report it to law enforcement. Here online, that involves contacting the NCMEC. 

like dudes, this shit is really fucking serious. in a court of law, there is no excuse for not knowing someone was a minor, either—which is why adults in rp communities need the young folks to not conceal their age with the intent to rp sexually explicit material with grown-ups (y’all can get some adults in really fucking big trouble). It’s also why rping sexually explicit material openly as a minor can (and should) be a huge deterrent for adults considering interacting with your blog. It’s normal to be a curious teenager, okay! and it’s also not illegal for you to be a curious teenager with other curious teenagers!! but if you drag adults into it, you are putting them in legal risk. It’s best for everyone involved to wait to try rping explicit material openly until you’re considered a legal adult.

Also, if an adult knowingly does some really explicit and illegal shit involving a minor online, and there’s blatant proof of it, that’s a crime with some serious consequences that can be reported to law enforcement and should be reported. If I hear about it, and can find proof of it, I will be.

❝it’s a rotten world, isn’t it. the rich and famous get away with murder, yet the justice system scrounges for kids like me to pin the blame on.❞ siebold is lucky nero doesn’t always pick up on social cues--he’s missed the veiled insult in the kalos elite’s words--but perhaps unlucky as well, as nero fires back anyway, not all the way aware of what he’s saying. 

❝i wouldn’t be surprised if you knew from experience.❞

rebornfairytale:

“They’re dumbasses,”She stated,”It was brilliant. You should do shit like that for the other categories. I’d watch them. Maybe…not the confused dragon though.” Nero gained +1 fan. 

She had no doubt he was facing a bunch of people who thought he shouldn’t have done it. That he should’ve done something cuter. Except most of the moves used were in the cute category. Thinking out of the box was too often treated like a crime in her mind.

❝well--yeah…that part wasn’t planned, but i mean, for what it was, i think it was great all by itself,❞ he said, momentarily distracted from his woes by the praise. ❝i’m proud of empoleon for what he did. he managed to look like a BADASS and give the crowd a show.❞

holy shit, did he really just thoughtfully and unironically analyze a thing that he absoultely hated? good job, you got him to do in two minutes what professionally trained psychologists have failed to do for literal years.

❝i don’t know what hydreigon feels about it, though,❞ he murmured. and just like that, the bad mood returned. ❝i…haven’t talked to her since the end of the match. see, they sort of--took her away, and just…❞ there he went again, the autistic kid with no filter, running his mouth about things that he really shouldn’t mention in front of total strangers.  

❝you know, i’m actually kind of scared that now she hates me, and i really want to talk it out with her--❞

how fast the emperor crumbled--one word of praise or sympathy, and his gruff façade came crashing down; such was the mind of a boy who had no other human to talk to.

❝--if, that is, i get to see her again.❞

“Listen, my dude. I’m not fixing to get my ass kicked by Guzma. I wanna not have that happen. So…I can’t tell you anything cause he’ll kick my ass.” While Guzma had never said this to Dana, she could very well imagine his reaction if she had spilled any Skull secrets she had (which was very little considering she was a child and was never told anything and reasonably so).  “I dunno. All I know is that Guzma really likes Bug Pokemon. But nobody has eva beat the boss you know. It’s unheard of. If that’s what yer after, I don’t think it’ll happen…unless y’da Champion….you look like you could be a Champion,” she said as she looked him up and down.

…aaaaaaand then she had to get snippy. look at that, he’s all pissy again. folks, we now return to your regularly scheduled programming…

❝i really could be champion,❞ he said, folding his arms. ❝you can’t prove that i’m not. so what if i told you i was, and that i wanted to give team skull the light of day in my region, and that if you didn’t tell me at least something about your group, this guzma guy (whoever he is) would get even more upset at you? huh?❞

he snickered.

❝buuuuuut on the other hand, if i really wanted skull’s deepest darkest secrets, i’d be one hell of a dumbass champion to waste my time. look at you. who do you think you are, saying you know things you can’t tell a kid like me? i bet guzma doesn’t even know your name.❞

[bullshittiing]

skullgruntdana:

Dana was very used to being approached by complete strangers, so being approached by the boy before her did not cause her any sort of reaction. Before he walked up on her, she had been kneeling near the base of the wall around Po Town looking for rocks. Upon hearing his voice, her head lifted and she turned to him. “I can’t tell you a lot,” she said pleasantly as she slipped a nice rock into her pocket. “What do you wanna know?” People always assumed Dana blurted things out like any child would, but she knew she had secrets to keep.

❝oh, well, you can tell me whatever you feel like. honestly, i know jack shit about you guys, but you all seem cool, so literally anything would be fine.❞

is he--is he being nice? to a little girl? 

it’s official. the world is ending.

@skullgruntdana​.

he usually stayed away from those in criminal teams--mostly because he knew he couldn’t lie for shit in case he was caught. but having things in common was the most powerful way to bring people together, even if that common thing happened to be a criminal record. besides, this grunt seemed harmless enough. wouldn’t hurt to ask a few questions, now would it?

❝so uh, team skull.❞ he gave her a shy smile. ❝could you…tell me more about you guys?❞

headcanon. nero is 50000000% a shallow fuck who would pass over a useful pokémon just because it doesn’t look “cool” enough. being autistically rigid doesn’t help either, as he can’t/won’t see himself with certain pokémon species, and it will take forever for someone to convince him otherwise.

he’s a big fan of elite four karen’s quote: Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of humans. will try to win with their favorites--and he interprets this to mean favorite species. (he’d be even more of a hypocrite than he already is if he interpreted it to mean “favorite INDIVIDUAL pokémon,” because he certainly levels heavy judgments on individuals that he perceives as strong or weak!) as such, he believes that a truly skilled trainer would be able to win with any species; thus, a truly skilled trainer would not need to lean on others’ species recommendations to build a good team, and would be able to win with pokémon chosen based solely on the arbitrary standards of personal taste. he’s a massive fucking hypocrite in this respect though, because if someone’s “arbitrary standards of personal taste” leaned toward pokémon he perceives as uncool, he’d go out of his way to persuade them that those pokémon just aren’t worth it.

he used to be worse when he was younger, although he’s not much better now. his togekiss is a case-in-point: as a whiny kid he refused to go near the togekiss breed, refusing even to look at even the breeds that people thought would suit him. but when he laid eyes on the second place prize of a prestigious youth tournament--a honchkrow-swoobat-“togekiss” monstrosity that would become one of his most trusted partners--he crumbled. it was the only time in his entire life that he’d ever thrown a match (and he was quite proud of himself for pulling it off)--the oddball creature was a second place prize, whereas first place received something much more regal-looking (and with many more egg moves to its lineage). he only made an exception for it, however, because it looked “cool” to him, and if you ask him whether he’d make the same choice now, he’ll say he’d do it again in a heartbeat.

rebornregionace:

“Oh shit! Sinnoh champion involved…must have been a party!” Sawyer was no stranger to the wild battle; a good portion of his Pokemon specialized in just wild chaos. Hearing someone get banned from the sport…what did the leagues do since he was on the Reborn League?

“Well…tell you what. I happen to be a rep for the Reborn League. You heard of it?”

❝mmmm…sort of,❞ he said warily, backing up a step. ❝ you know, i actually thought about going there one day, and then i found out the place was a drug-infested hellhole that--❞

he paused as soon as those words left his mouth--one of those moments when he remembered that his therapist might call him insensitive. then he shrugged and continued. no way to take it back now.

❝…yeah. drug-infested hellhole. people trying to rape and kill you jumping out of every garbage can, or…something.❞ because when you don’t know anything about countries other than america since it’s so obnoxious you couldn’t ignore it if you tried and your own, you tended to take your sister’s word as gospel. ❝anyway, i heard it was outside the international pokémon league…contracting…agreement or some shit, which is the only reason i considered going there in the first place. i don’t know how you managed to set one up without the IPL suing your asses for copyright, but congratulations, i guess.❞

[bullshittiing]

headcanon. nero actually knows a fair bit about the laws that govern pokémon battling, especially since he’s been scrutinized by it for a quarter of his life, and spent part of that quarter digging intermittently for loopholes. he can’t string any of his knowledge together in a formal-sounding and/or coherent paragraph, however, unless he’s narrating his own experience. he expresses this knowledge mostly by reciting legal jargon that he’s heard/read over the years, whether he fully understands it or not.

“Funny, I’d think that using moves on the audience was pretty fucking low. Or maybe losing control of your Hydreigon- y’know, the one literally called ‘the Brutal Pokemon’? Someone could’ve gotten hurt, what were you thinking– or were you thinking at all?!”

“I should hope I can outdo some pissy little kid who endangers people’s safety for shits and giggles. Why would I need to try to beat someone who chooses to get disqualified?”

She wasn’t even going to address the Sitrus Berry. It complied with the rules, and professional battlers did it all the time. Also, fuck this brat.

❝i’ve done it before and this sort of accident has literally never happened. i don’t know, maybe everyone in the audience was just even more of a wuss than usual. that never would have occurred to you, would it. who are you to judge when it comes to the thinking department?❞

he looked down at the cyndaquil, his glare demanding a reply.

❝as for you, i say you should burn that poké ball of yours and stop disrespecting yourself. a well-bred pokémon like you deserves better.❞

[bullshittiing]

rebornfairytale:

“You did,”She agreed easily,”Your appeal was my favorite. I wish more people took different approaches like that.” The sudden metal had startled her, but she was glad she kept watching.

❝oh…❞

she liked it? she actually liked it? he’d come out strong, with a grin halfway between a smile and a smirk, all while bracing himself for the harshest of criticism--tactless, tasteless, a great evil against coordinating--not like it actually hurt him since he’d heard it so many times, but…

fuck it. fuck that noise. fuck “sticks and stones,” words hurt more than anything else. it did hurt him when people told him his performance was terrible, more than he wanted to admit. it hurt him, and it always would, and he’d always be surprised to hear anything different.

❝that’s--that’s good to hear. mostly these days, i’ve been hearing the opposite,❞ he said, averting his eyes.  ❝see, cute really isn’t my thing and i was running out of time to prepare, so i figured i’d do a bit of genre-busting. show people something different, something they’ve never seen before.❞

something their small minds couldn’t handle, he thought, but he couldn’t say it out loud. not in front of that praise and that smile.

Your appeal was my favorite, she’d said, but did she know how much it would cost him?

June had been happily minding her own business, watching her new Cyndaquil spar with Berry to build his speed. She would’ve been content to ignore him, maybe let her Gallade play bodyguard, but his face rang a bell. This was that brat that joined the Aurora Cup to do- what, exactly? Mock coordinators? Endanger people’s safety? Be a stupid rebellious teen?

Her first instinct was to tear this kid apart, because fuck him for mocking her life’s work, but she was, tragically, the adult in this situation. She’d give him half a chance to be civil first. Maybe he’d surprise her! When hell freezes over.

“And a good morning to you, too.” She turned to look him in the eye, still sitting on the grass with her picnic blanket. “It’s Nora, right? If you’ve got criticism, I’d love to hear it.” 

❝oh wow, you even bullshat my name. you really are a natural. you ask me for criticism, but as a lifelong bullshitter i couldn’t possibly criticize such flawless execution. in fact, i’d like to congratulate you on outdoing me without even trying. stuffing a berry in your sylveon so she could win a match she wasn’t fit to fight? even I wouldn’t have stooped so low!❞ 

there you go, june, you got what you asked for. he’s a punchy little shit, but he can punch with more than just his fists.
