"What do you mean, revenge on—" Wait. No. No! This was the ultimate betrayal! "ELI, DID HE SIGN ME UP FOR SCHOOL WITHOUT TELLING ME?"

[gladiodivina]

"We always knew that man could not be trusted. Well, I knew. No one wanted to listen even though I lived with him. Together, Zekrom, we can finally bring him down."

[fusionbolts-a]

"Elisheva Devine, you little piece of shit."

[fusionbolts-a]

"I don't wanna study! I don't wanna go to school! I don't wanna wear a stupid uniform and take stupid tests and have to learn shit on a schedule! I'm a dragon! I should get to do whatever I want!"

[gladiodivina]

"And I wanna live in the woods. That's how we say 'illegal' now. As in they'll hunt you down and make you go to school anyway. We can plot revenge on Ad and say we studied."

[fusionbolts-a]

"After I was done arguing with the mean slug man I went back to Mesagoza and I just wanted to go to the library but they thought I was a student and gave me detention for being out of uniform and now I think I'm enrolled in school."

"Please help."

[gladiodivina]

“Ha ha, get educated idiot.”

“Really, though, I’ll help you study. It’ll have to be with my study group, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be okay with it. We’ll just say we’re cousins or something if they ask. It’s not un-true.”

[kyuureimu]

— They give an amused snort. « Why certainly. The best kind of disguise is in plain sight, and it proved critical during our travels. But you must promise to keep this a little secret between us and your siblings, hm? »

Very slowly and delicately, Kyurem curled in their claws and extended the knuckle of their smallest digit to her. A pinky promise.

[gladiodivina]

If there was one thing everyone understood, regardless of country or humanity, it’s the sacred power of the pinky promise. Eli offers her pinky in return—her own completely dwarfed by just Kyurem’s claw—and puts a finger against her lips with a small “Shh.”

Forms of Love

love as tenderness [ love as gentleness after a lifetime of cruelty ] when ocean vuong said "sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined" and when pablo neruda said "like a jar you housed the infinite tenderness and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar" and when anais mitchell wrote "all i've ever known is how to hold my own, and now i wanna hold you, too”

Herb Quiz

Cumin You see yourself so clearly that you can see the gaping hole inside you where you lost a piece long ago. It's there and it's ragged and painful and bleeding and you don't know how no one else can see it when it takes up so much of your awareness. You run from it, fight it, try to find it but nothing bandages up that hungry mawing void inside yourself and when you're tired, uninspired, you swear it grows and grows. You promise yourself you want to be alone, promise yourself that you want to be different, want to be special, love having this hole inside you and point it out in words or song or jokes and stories and take pride in that pain, in your uniqueness in this world of grays and storm clouds. You are 5 am rain on asphalt roads and sputtering street lamps. You are petrichor musings and messy guitar chords and a thousand contradictions wrapped inside a quiet cry, an evening of coffee and jittering hands and a promise that you're okay or that you're fine until you're falling apart in someone's arms or messages and pretend you're alright in the morning. You taste so strongly but sometimes you wonder if all you are is ash.

Chess Piece Quiz

White Rook As a piece that can move inwards and outwards, you're a master of self-reflection. You know what needs to be done and when to do it. You're a protector, and would willingly take someone's place in danger in a heartbeat because you know you can handle the pressure. But even castle walls crumble. For all your chivalry and fortitude, everything must come to an end. Will you be there to see the final stages of the war? Or will you have already been discarded in the battle?

[kyuureimu]

Kyurem chuckles, a low throaty grumble if it can be called one. Poor girl was shaking like a leaf.

« I jest, young Elisheva. I have heard of your siblings speak dearly of you, too little as you were for us to have met properly, » another growl of a laugh, though this time more like a purr. « I will never hurt you my dear, but, ah, I am unsure how reassuring my words alone are. Would it be any consolation if I were to, mm, shrink down to size? »

Have… any of the siblings divulged the truth to her? So long as they were in the confines of the castle then they don’t mind, though… this might be a little tricky.

[gladiodivina]

Her siblings talked about her? In a good way?

“Um...can you? Shrink, I mean?” It would help yes, but mostly she’s curious if they can. “Is that something dragons can do?”

What’s up guys it’s Olli bringing back her RSE Shelly be sure to check the pinned post for a refresher. Followbacks from adminolli/ryuojun.

how the fuck did you say that with your mouth

[kyuureimu]

— Ah, a child. Quite the spunk this one has, to approach them so readily. They slowly move to lay on the ground, arms resting neatly in front of them. Still towering, but hopefully less imposing at least.

«Why hello, little one. To whom do I owe the pleasure?» They’d smirk if their maw allowed it, but it shows in their eyes. Of course they knew who she was.

[gladiodivina]

Oh, wow. Even bigger up close. It’s okay! It’s okay! If they wanted to eat her they’d have done so already! The perks of being small! One bite-sized gulp for any dragons that wanted to snatch her up for a meal.

“I’m, um, I’m Elisheva. Ro’s little sister. And Ad and Shin’s.”

Had she ever come up while her siblings were off to war? In an, “she’s totally adorable and not a threat at all” type of way? That suddenly seemed like a very important detail.

[gladiodivina]

@kyuureimu​

Woah. They’re big. And cold, somehow. It rolls off them like winter winds. B-But it’s fine! Ro loves them! She can’t say enough good things about them! So it’s fine! Even if Eli feels smaller than she has in years! Right?

“H-Hi.”

[gladiodivina]

@fusionbolts​

Bursts into the room brandishing their phone.

“Zekrom! Treasure hunt!”

[kyuureimu]

hey’a, i’m xae! it’s been 3,000 years but i’m back!! this is a remake of my old blog i intended to reinstate like 3 years ago but instead here we are in the year of our lord 2023. this is a heavily headcanon based kyurem + gijinka rp blog. spreading this around to rebuild my dash would be a great help, and i’ll check out anyone who interacts with this post!

@fusionbolts​ || come get your baby

She woke in the dark, sweat clammy on her skin and sheets choking every limb. Her breathing labored in the gloom, heartbeat deafening in her ears. Something rushed by outside and threw light on the wall.

Traffic.

Elisheva rolled carefully towards the window. Another car passed by in the opposite direction.

Arms first. Legs second.

Her fingers shook on the sheets, her legs wobbled on the floor. Wall to wall carpeting. What a wonderful invention. She grabbed her phone, struggled to unplug the charger, and meant to sit on the chair. She landed on the floor.

Come on, pick up.

Even breaths, steady now. In and and out. At one with yourself. In when you draw the bow—shut up, damn it!—out on the release. In, just like he said—he’s fine she’s fine he’s fine they’re fine they’re only busy they haven’t left you they still love you—

Answer your damn phone!
