The original post was missing so I just went and found a bunch of sentences and posted them under the cut because of reasons.

Who does Roark admire?

Goodness — who doesn’t he admire? I guess I’ll make a small list with a brief reason why? I don’t want this getting too long lol.

Byron - Of course, Byron is his father. Byron was the reason that got him into mining and digging and it was his father that helped him become a gym leader. He really wishes to catch up to him and even beat him one of these days.

Riley - Yesss, he admires Riley a lot! Riley was the reason he got the job of gym leader in the first place! Riley was initially asked for the job, but it was Riley who recommended that they should think about Roark instead. Because of that, Roark feels that he should do his best so Riley doesn’t regret saying that. 

Steven Stone - Roark really likes his taste in rocks and, of course, his knowledge about them! It’s really extensive and he really wants to learn more or at least talk more extensively with Mister Stone. 

Maxie - Roark doesn’t know much about Team Magma, but he’s sold on what he knows so far. Land expansion seems excellent since he thinks it’ll end up making more leeway for rocks, so Roark’ll be cheering from the sidelines (until he learns more about it, at least).

❣

❣: Describe a way that will earn affection (whether platonic or romantic) from them.

Compliment him. Roark has little to no self-esteem, so just hearing someone take the time to praise what he’s done will make him really happy. 

[rockandroark]

❤!

❤ : Describe a physical action that shows complete trust. 

Normally he isn’t a touchy-feely guy, but he’ll be more willing to express his feelings through touch. Subtle things like pats on the shoulder and back might be shown here, or rare things like hugs. 

[rockandroark]

☾!

☾ : On a sleepless night, what would they be found doing?

On a sleepless night, he’s usually seen walking around Oreburgh or, sometimes, he sneaks into the Mine. It’s not a safe, but he’s got nothing else to do and digging just seems like lots of fun at 4 AM.

[rockandroark]

[ ❥✏ ]

❥ : Describe a verbal way they would express complete trust.

If Roark trusts someone, he is more honest with them. Roark is the type of guy that brushes his opinions away if he feels it does not fit with the other person, but he’ll be more willing to share what he really thinks and feels earnestly. Also, he’ll drop the ‘Mister’ and ‘Miss’ in front of their names.

✏ : What are their creative outlets? 

Not many people know this, because he would much rather it stay a secretly, but he plays a bit of the guitar. He’s not that good, but it’s something to do. Something different.

yesterday just left me so useless and embarrassed that i just don't know what to do. since yesterday, my anxiety has been off the charts and left me just depressed. nothing may have happened, but it's just the feeling of even if i tried to do everything, it may not have a result. i could have been too late and that kills me more than anything

i hate this stupid anxiety of mine. i used to be confident, but 10th grade absolutely destroyed me. having someone you thought was a best friend go behind your back and hate you and refuse to talk to you just do this to you and i just. i have no idea who to trust. i make friends, but i never know who will stay and be there for me when shit hits the fan. the one time i think i make a best friend, they disappear and they never talk to me again and it just makes it so much worse.

i just ugh

i hate that i'm so weak-minded. i hate that i'm so boring. i hate that i'm too damn shy. i hate that i can't bring myself to talk to people. i hate that i always feel like everyone hates me when it could be the opposite. i hate that i always let it come back to me and let myself get burned

i just hate myself and i just i dont know

im not even sure that i'm as great as everyone thinks. im not entertaining. no one even pays attention to me more than 5 minutes before they render me boring. heck, im not even all that great at helping people

im just so useless and i hate myself

im going to remove myself from group chats now because i just feel like i should remove my presence from all these fantastic people. it might just be after-effects of my emotional break down but i just need to do this. im sorry. im sorryimsorryimsorry. please don't hate me.

The best thing to do when you’re lost was to ask for directions, right? He should really be asking someone about that right about now, but… that building over there just looked so cool and interesting and did I mention cool? A little bit of exploration couldn’t really hurt, could it? What was a few more minutes of not knowing where the heck you were?

Regrettably,  upon entering, Luke only had more questions as to where the heck he’d wound up. Was that… a dinosaur? Actually, were pterodactyls technically dinosaurs or did they fall into that same awkward category that plesiosaurs did? You know, that whole, yeah they’re prehistoric creatures and look like dinosaurs but they’re actually not?

Okay, you know what, that didn’t matter right now. Who cared what was technically a dinosaur and what wasn’t? The real point here is that he is like 99% sure he’s seeing a real life hecking pterodactyl right now? Oh my god???

And he didn’t see any other people here right now either. Oh my god. Oh god. He’s going to die. Let’s just… yell something and hope someone answers.

"Hello?"

[rockandroark]

     It was places like this that he enjoyed more than anything. Fossils and artifacts lined up the walls and exhibits, making his heart swell with joy and a small sense of pride. Everything was so prim, which made him happy that such things were held with such respect; fossils and something dated deserved to be due to how fragile they can be. At least here, there was no way they would be disrupted and no way could they be harmed with how little commotion there was. Perfect. Absolutely perf— 

                                                       “Hello?” 

     He broke from his musings when he heard the sound of a voice ringing throughout the building, blinking in response. Did he imagine that or what? Usually he would dismiss something like this, but there seemed to be a little hint of distress in the tone of voice. He couldn’t just leave them like that, right? Plus, if he could help in anyway, he should just go on and do it. 

     Roark followed the where he heard the voice coming from, instantly noticing a rather confused looking kid. Was he alright? His eyebrows furrowed slightly in worry as he moved around the dinosaur display, putting on his best smile. “Uh… are ya okay? Y’look a li’l confused.” Was he not used to museums like this? It certainly didn’t seem like it.

[rockandroark]

Roark’s biggest fear is ultimately disappointing Byron and Riley with his failure and incapability of being a better gym leader. With the two of their recommendations, he feels as if he owes them for getting the job in the first place. Because of this, he often tries to seek out praise or even just acknowledgement from the both of them.

[rockandroark]

when you think you're leaving your gym for but a moment and it takes much longer than you expect. when you come back and expect to be right at home, and all your rocks are missing. when the culprit is nowhere in sight. and this probably isn't the first time this has happened. s t r e s s
