LEAGUE RULES.
mutuals only. this is already a mid-to-low activity blog for me , so i’m keeping it mutuals only for my own comfort. the only people i really follow are friends or friends of friends , with a few exceptions. if you are not comfortable with the POKEMON RPC , i will not follow you & you should not follow me. i also WILL NOT answer asks not from a mutual , as this is a pretty low-key blog , EXCLUDING ANONYMOUS ASKS. however , if that feature ever gets ABUSED , as the rpc in general has a habit of doing , it will be turned off indefinitely.
verses. in my main verse , which covers the events of SWORD & SHIELD through the post-game content , victor is NO OLDER THAN SIXTEEN . in my POST-GAME VERSE , victor is EIGHTEEN OR OLDER . that said , ABSOLUTELY NO NSFW/SMUT CONTENT WILL APPEAR ON THIS BLOG . i feel generally uncomfortable writing that shit with victor , given that he’s a minor in canon.
ships. just to put it out there , I DO NOT SHIP GLORIA/VICTOR. to me , they are FAMILY of some kind in verses where they exist together. specifically with 227HEART , gloria is his sister. i really , honestly do not have the energy to care about what other people think about it , just don’t bring that shit around me. that said , i am open to plotting ships with victor of any kind , but in general , i write him having a crush on hop. for hop writers , it absolutely does not have to go anywhere if that’s not your thing , i do adore some unrequited pining , that’s just how i write victor. in regards to ships , i WRITE VICTOR AS EXCLUSIVELY GAY in regards to romance.
ships pt. 2. i , in no uncertain terms , WILL NOT SHIP VICTOR WITH ANY OF THE GYM LEADERS , LEON , OR ANY OTHER CANON ADULTS . keep that shit as far away from me as possible. having them as important mentor or family figures is perfectly fine , but nothing further. as far as MAIN VERSE goes , i wouldn’t put victor with anyone OUTSIDE HIS OWN AGE RANGE , meaning BEYOND 15-18 is a no go. in his CHAMPIONSHIP VERSE , i wouldn’t put him with anyone BELOW EIGHTEEN , because as previously stated , in that verse , victor is anywhere from 18-23 . having said all that , i’m always down to plot dynamics & bounce ideas around for how they’ll interact & the like.
graphics. since i absolutely cannot be assed to go hunting for playthroughs & making icons at the moment , i am ICONLESS for now. that may change in the future , but not for right now. since i am iconless , i won’t really be doing one-liners , as those feel & look awkward to me without an icon. i also don’t really format my replies , save for the occasional word italicized for emphasis & bold dialogue & small text. i don’t really care how my partners format replies & whether or not you guys use icons. i only ask that you REFRAIN FROM USING DOUBLE SMALL TEXT & NEON/BRIGHT SHADES OF COLORED TEXT. trying to read very small text gives me a headache & too much contrast in colors hurts my eyes. otherwise , go ham.
blog content. i default to writing victor as the champion , but i’m always willing to write things where he isn’t in the case of fellow protagonist blogs , or if you just feel like shaking things up. i almost always will mention victor’s SCORBUNNY/RABOOT/CINDERACE in threads in some way , as he has the strongest bond with victor out of any of his pokemon. since my MAIN VERSE covers a broad time period , i use SCORBUNNY’S EVOLUTION LINE as a way to imply some kind of timeline for threads. if you’d like to know where in the game’s timeline mentioning a specific evolution puts any particular ask or thread , my usage is as follows & heavily based on my own playthroughs : SCORBUNNY puts any threads/asks/drabbles/etc. VERY CLOSE to the start of victor’s journey , anywhere from the VERY BEGINNING through MOTOSTOKE . RABOOT puts any threads/asks/drabbles/etc. around the MID-POINT of victor’s journey , from MOTOSTOKE through CIRCHESTER. lastly , CINDERACE puts any threads/asks/drabbles/etc. at the FINAL LEG of victor’s journey , covering SPIKEMUTH through the END OF THE GAME , including THE DARKEST DAY & the CHAMPIONSHIP BRACKET .
