A Rose By Any Other Name

"A Rose By Any Other Name Would Prick Just As Deep." Hello there. A lot of people know me as Ruka, so it's fine to just call me that. [May Birch of NUM.]

[maybelleine]

Getting real sick of all this snow. ...Or maybe I'm getting sick. 

[notahermit]

"You all missed mine the last year…"

[maybelleine]

"You're not my twin brother or any of my siblings that actually lived with me through my childhood. Besides, I never even went to this academy when you were here before. You're thinking of Spring."

[gonnafineu]

Yea but then yer gonna be one of those teachers that nobody likes. That ain’t being a teacher. That’s being a butt.

[maybelleine]

Hey, it doesn't matter if they don't like me. Besides, that's the fun about it. Besides, there's not really a point in taking every single class on campus. 

[maybelleine]

"...ah... All of my siblings forgot my birthday. That's okay. I didn't expect them to remember."

[gonnafineu]

You can’t just up and go and wanna become some teacher. Actually, why the heck would anyone wanna do that?!

[maybelleine]

Because I don't feel like studying any more and I like seeing other suffer when tests are all marked "B" as the correct answer. Have you seen them squirm? It's great. 

[maybelleine]

I'm getting bored of this whole "student" thing. Maybe I should be a teacher or something.

Adios, Performing Arts Building

"Ruka! We get to destroy the Performing Arts Building!" Rosa stood outside of the vacated building and grinned before throwing out the pokeball that had been around her neck. "Let’s go Reshi! Time to destroy this place!" 

[maybelleine]

"Don't make too much of a mess, got it? I'd hate to spend the entire time cleaning." She pulled out her pokeball and sent out her swampert out. "Eh. Either way, they let us do this themselves, so it's their fault." She nodded to her sister. 

"On my mark. 3...2...1..."

[maybelleine]

"There are only so many people you can battle before your pokemon look at you angrily and refuse to battle because 'they're not strong enough and fuck you'." 

[maybelleine]

Look, there's a point where I'm fucking lazy and then there's a point where I'm literally drunk right now, my brother's in Honduras, my other brother adopted 330 cats, and my sister's higher than an airplane. 

[maybelleine]

Do you ever just stop for a day and literally remember all the shit you've gone through and just think to yourself that "wow, I put up with so much shit." Because I do.

I know. 

I feel. 

[maybelleine]

"You'd think that meteors and society wouldn't be a concern in a place like Hoenn where the top rocket scientists are located in one place but noooooooooo. Gotta call on the fucking kids because these adults are damn incompetent."

[maybelleine]

Still not as bad as that Christmas in Summer party. 

No more eggnog.

Spoopy Season: Phantump Style

[walltowally-blog]

"Yes! Train me!" Wally was dead serious. "I’m gonna become super brave, so the next time you’re in a jam, I can save you and we’ll be even!"

It was hard for him to pinpoint what exactly caused him to feel fear, considering he felt mildly nervous in general almost all the time. “I’m afraid of… passing out randomly. Being judged, or left behind. Death? I hate haunted houses, and ghosts, and horror movies… and… um… overcrowded places, because it’s hard to breathe and if I get mugged then I won’t be able to chase down the person without passing out and dying.” It was almost comical, the forceful way with which he listed his fears, and the determined expression on his face as he did so. “I promise I’m going to work hard not to be so scared of everything! I’ll laugh in the face of danger from now on. Ha! Ha.” …Cough, cough.

[maybelleine]

"Okay, I'll try my best to," she said, with a nod. She didn't exactly know how to train someone on the aspect of bravery. "Just remember that there are many different types of bravery just as there are cowardly." 

She gentle patted his back when he coughed. "Okay, so it seems like your two basic fears are death and being left behind. All the others stem from that, don't you think?" She nodded. "Here's the number one thing though, to be able to face your fears, you quite literally need to face your fears. I hate to say it, but you're going to have to watch horror movies at the very least. ...Or at least parodies of horror movies before the horror." She paused. "It's best to start small and work your way up with this sort of thing. Also, you're going to want your inhaler. And a snuggly fire type of choice." She paused again. "And we're going to introduce you to ghost pokemon. They're much nicer than you think."

I'm starting to really regret going with the whole "Anna" thing. I'm not Anna so stop it, geez.

Dear person I’m jealous of,

Rest in peace.
