"...PEOPLE, POKEMON... We all get covered in the grime of the world as we go through life. This city needs people willing to get their hands dirty cleaning up all that mess! As a kid, I had no home, nowhere to go... until Lumiose gave me a place where I could belong."

"i'm a bit of a game connoisseur myself," it was rare for the head of the rust syndicate to take the time for entertainment, but that didn't mean he didn't enjoy it. most days, he would find himself wasting away in a chair — looking for any kind of fun to keep him going.

so it was with a tilt of his head, he prods further, "what kind of enjoyment do you prefer, hm?"

survivors have scars. victims have graves. (from michi's pkmn au!)

angst musings found on pinterest. / accepting!

"interesting, how the food chain has always preyed on the weak, hm?" a tilt of his head, cracking his neck, "it takes a certain amount of mettle to reject something so instinctual. our bodies possess us to take advantage of others, and that's how victims get the graves you speak of."

"so, what side are you on, michikatsu?" despite her rank in her own team, she doesn't seem to frighten him, "are you an instinctual aggressor, too? i can't say i'd stand for that."

"Well, you can color me surprised if it happens to be about my working theories around Lumiose's environment and the formation of mega crystals." Her speculative answer is courteous, though she doubts that had even crossed his mind.

At her side a Houndoom idles on their haunches, a mega-stone set in it's designer collar. "I've only been back a week and already I have people clamoring to fill my schedule, you just happened to pique my interest."

[interestrates]

and there's a brow quirked upwards, "by all means, feel free to share your theory with me."

he leans forward. there was a high chance any theory she had could hold water — after all, he's heard everything about her.

"and what is it about me that interests you, hm?" he then asks, "i'm not particularly special. i'm just simply running an establishment, and that's as deep as it goes."

bide — is your muse more patient with some things than others?

i lost the meme. / not accepting!

he tends to favour patience for the younger folk, it's in his nature to give them second chances. on the other end of the spectrum, he's less patient towards the blunders of people his age and older.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤANGST MUSINGS FOUND ON PINTEREST. – please change pronouns and verbiage as needed. 

nobody is coming to save you. get up.

let us live, since we must die.

don't trust the beginnings, truth is told in the last moments.

i don't think i'm the hero type.

this was supposed to be closure, not the beginning of another mistake.

underneath your hands, i become poetry. this is the alchemy that you do.

two souls don't find each other by simple accident.

how do i look away now that i've seen you?

it is okay to be gentle, it does not make you weak.

let me fall if i must fall. the one i will become will catch me.

you said i killed you – haunt me then!

tell me every terrible thing you ever did and let me love you anyway.

i'm, as the poet says, a mess!

i am a collection of dismantled almosts.

do you exist? have i made you up?

ignore every instinct to flee. remember: you are a monster, too.

you were destined for me. perhaps, as a punishment.

i crave affection and run from it.

forever is a dangerous word.

you left fingerprints on my soul, but they feel more like bruises now.

am i suffering beautifully? is my agony laveable?

i desire violently – and i wait.

i died a lot to live a little with you.

not yet corpses. still, we rot.

i am made of untamable demons and unfillable voids.

…what i am aches in me.

do not mock a pain you haven't endured.

blood will be spilled. i know it. let it be mine, not yours.

i feel as if i belonged to another world.

memory is punishment.

i dream of you in fractured ways, in hollow nights, and haunted days.

survivors have scars. victims have graves.

okay, the reality of things is i owe so much on every blog i have. i've been logging in only to lurk for what feels like forever, and i haven't really gotten around to anything i owe.

i'm going to put every blog i have on hiatus for the time being. the pressure to be here is just, unfortunately, making me avoid being active even more than i originally was.

it won't be a long hiatus, just enough to take said pressure off a little. in the meantime, i am still available on discord. if you want to add me (and you're a mutual), send me a message and i'll give you my discord.

i'll be lurking in the meantime. not completely gone, i might even like a post or two! but i won't be rping for the time being. i just need an official break without any pressure to be here whatsoever.

his parents had ultimately given up looking after corbeau as a child, neglectful to begin with and then later abandoning him altogether. however, corbeau doesn't hold any ill-will towards them - he has very well accepted that he cannot change the past.

bubble beam — what’s a fond memory your muse has from their childhood?

technical machine character development questions. / accepting!

when he caught his first pokemon, of course! it was a weedle, who then went on to be trained up into a pretty substantially strong beedrill! despite his parents being mostly absent from his life, he did later gift the beedrill to his mother in hopes it will keep her safe.
