ooc & trigger warnings under cut.
HEY!! sooo guess who's bringin' this blog back! thats right <3 i miss my sweetie laurent so. third times the charm yeah? anyway, if you remember anything from this blogs past. um. Disregard it. because laurent has had a HUGE overhaul and rewrite from what they originally were, and while similar plot points might come up again in the future, theyre gonna be very different.
anyway, name's kaii, im 16, i go by he/they. @kaiispokebloghub is my pokemon irl blog hub, and all interactions will come from my (inactive) main @elysianstarl1ght! if you wanna know more about me, the latters got a long ass pinned post just for you lol.
TRIGGER & CONTENT WARNINGS:
so, laurent is going to be going THROUGH IT. all content will be tagged as "tw (content)". items in orange won't go into detail, or relate to backstory solely. items in red will have far more spotlight in plot points. ok, clears throat-
death (pokemon & familial)
near-death experiences
murder
child abuse / neglect, pokemon abuse / neglect
transphobia
arson
kidnapping
depression and all the fun shit that comes with it, maybe including a bit of suicidality.
if any of these topics trigger you.. uhhhhh honestly, lots of this probably wont come up until way later, and it'll probably be relatively lighthearted most of the time. however!! proceed with caution!! and know that everything will be tagged accordingly (as mentioned earlier)! if you need something else tagged for anything that's posted, or if i missed something, pleaseeee communicate that to me!!! (you can send me an ask, i wont publish it ^-^)
OH YEAH cafekitsune for dividers & cbrfufu for pfp: picrew & insta
anyway, think thats it. thanks for reading!!! here's to this blog actually surviving more than 4 months lol
i really hate that i need to make a post like this. and no, this isn't april fools.
as of right now, im falling behind on everything in my school. everything. i started these roleplay blogs as a way to unwind and have some fun roleplaying as my darlings, but it looks like i dont even have time for an hour of leisure anymore. so, starting today, my blogs will be inactive. they'll remain up as i'd like to come back to them one day, but i. dont know when that'll be.
i really love pokemon irl, have for the 2 years ive been part of it, and i want to come back. i just. i dont have time. im not just leaving these, but all my other blogs too, and probably lots of social media too.
thanks for the fond memories guys. i'll be seeing you, hopefully... late june at the latest. you might see me before then, but i wouldnt count on it.
this goes for this blog as well. i know i just started something today with shinto, and i had a lot of plans, especially when it came to interactions with others. but i guess they'll have to be put on hold. i really love grey & shinto so, out of all rp blogs, you'll probably see this one resurfacing quickest.
im reblogging from grey because honestly i feel terrible and dont wanna retype all that. i know i just brought laurent back, just brought them back, but, hey. when theyre back, ill try to make them come back even better.
ermmm,, thats tough,,（；ω ；） probably to protect someone? like- in the case something happened, and it wasnt their fault, but theyd get really in trouble, i think id lie. ii dont know tho! mmaybe not? i dunno, im not a very good liar,, </3
i think what got in the way with laurent's blog is the fact i had so many lore ideas planned, but i didnt really know what they'd post other than the horrors lol. plus i was scared i was going to be annoying :sob:
i had their personality down, but i didnt know if it was too enthusiastic and cheery and would end up annoying so i literally just never interacted with people. but yknow what i think im gonna try again. 3rd times the charm amiright. i love laurent so much i just. AUGH. i want them to be silly on the interweb
ANY of laurent's posts before this one, completelyyyy disregard them! as far as ur concerned they do NOT exist :sob:
this blog is being completely redone, and starting from the beginning! im leaving the old posts up both bc i cant be bothered to delete them and its a nice little archive of this blogs (disastrous) past.
man, im gonna be honest, i really wanna come back to this blog. but all of the plot threads are really messy, im considering wiping this account and starting over lmao. i have a very different idea of laurent than what i did when i first started this account, and i dont know how i feel about where i was going with this anymore lol
so, even though this might not amount to anything in the near future:
what should i do with this blog?
delete the blog (or archive it) & make a new one, completely fresh start
mass delete posts and continue off at the beginning again
leave most posts up, and continue off at the beginning, disregarding old posts
ahhh.. ive been getting so much pkmn irl stuff on my dashboard, i wanna come back to this account but idk what to do.. i literally lost motivation at a story point lmao. legit nobody would care if i picked it up at this point again but, sigh!
I think its interesting how societal values impact the information we are given about pokemon.
For example the growlithe and lillipup lines are seen or symbols of courage and loyalty because of their prevalence in the police force, something our soceity likes to present as good. Their pokedex entries talk about standing up to bigger foes, along witb their keen intelligence.
Despite clear similarities in behavouir, the houndour and poochyena lines are presented much more negatively, due to being a common pick for evil teams. Their pokedex entries focus much more on their negative attributes, focusing on how they stalk and kill their prey, presenting them as scary or unfavourable due to having 'savage natures'.
Whats most frustrating is poochyena also stand up to bigger foes and growlithe cause many more painful burns than houndooms.
This is a shorter one while we prepare for the arrival of Spooky Month!
We ask our staff which Pokémon they associate with Halloween the most (I'm ashamed that it took me this long to realize why Joe from HR picked Alcremie and Slurpuff), and made questions based on them!
Mimikyu - What costume do you plan on wearing this year?
Alcremie - Do you plan on giving candy away on halloween night?
Pumpkaboo - Have you ever carved a pumpkin? Do you plan on doing so this year?
Parasect - Any scary stories/games/movies you recommend?
Zubat - Will you decorate your house for halloween?
Slurpuff - Favorite candy/sweet?
Gengar - Favorite thing about halloween?
Send an ask to the blog you reblogged this from pretty please
Here's to everyone who didn't make it out okay. To all the trainers whose journeys left a mark.
Everyone who was stranded in a cave during a snowstorm, worried they wouldn't make it to morning and who never forgot that feeling.
Those of you who pushed yourself past your limits, not realizing you had the option to back down. Who have seen things that haunted them. Who were left with permanent reminders of just how brutal pokemon training can really be.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm sorry the media only ever talks about the victories, the well-groomed trainers taking it all. Sorry that your dreams became nightmares.
