@syringia
SYRINGIA — professor vivian lilac — an independent pokemon villain oc. kalosian legends-era malva ancestor with modern verses. morally dubious scientist with a quest to find and study mew — or any legendary pokemon he can get his hands on. written by robin. sideblog: @exagides (wikstrom), main roleplay blog: @fleurdelysandre
high-key obsessed with this XY museum concept art that shows a guy just casually holding a Mew
even better is the in-game blurb that goes with the painting, which is both great worldbuilding and also very funny:
A Man and Mew: They say a man of power at the time forced the artist to add the Mythical Pokémon Mew to spread the word of how great he was.
if I may add on. I remember this painting's existance mainly because of this old post. it's in the lumiose museum
i am officially actually back to rping over at @panhelleniios , once he gets off the ground
hmmmmmmmm ... may move wikstrom to his own blog ... he deserves it ......
7. describe your favorite relationship dynamic. (can be any kind, platonic, romantic, familial, antagonistic, etc.)
10. what genre do you most enjoy, whether in roleplay, or fiction as a whole? (fantasy, period, superhero, etc.)
12. what roleplay trends do you remember from the year you started tumblr rp? how did you feel about those trends?
7 — Platonic soulmates. I mean I'm a sucker for a ton of romantic plots ( I'm generally a huge shipper in all my RP / fic / personal writing ) because I find them extremely fun to develop, but platonic soulmates, man. When you have a best friend who is just on the same wavelength. Mirrors of each other. Able to read each other in a second. No romantic tension whatsoever. I honestly blame the Inheritance books and CR for this but I just love it so much. And of course found family, but I feel like that's a bonus to a platonic soulmate bond.
10 — Fantasy!! D&D, fantasy novels, all of that. Medieval era things. I'm waving my hand vaguely in Wikstrom’s direction as I say this. I guess you could lump in any vaguely historical feeling setting, but you've got to add in some sort of fantastical flavor for me to get really hooked.
12 — It's been so long, god, I can't remember the exact year. Maybe 2011? I know I was still in high school when I first started rping on Tumblr specifically. ( Back during my assassin's creed days…….. ) I remember there being magic anons, which I'm kind of glad have fallen out of fashion — kind of sucked to either get told to do things ( and getting rude anons when you ignored / refused a prompt ) or to be the only one left out of a trend.
What I do really miss are art-based ask blogs. Can we bring those back, those were fun, I made so many friends through those. Back when I first started they were basically hand-in-hand with roleplay blogs — people used them as both. I started out by interacting with a very specific assassin's creed ask blog from my personal, which got me started on one myself eventually! I get why people started to separate them, but I think it was genuinely charming to let everyone ( personals, rp blogs, other ask blogs ) participate. I feel like the loss of that kind of added to a loss of a community feeling in some spaces?
To be fair, when I first started in the Pokemon rpc ( around 2013, XY era ), at least in my circle, anons and personals were encouraged to interact. With some boundaries of course! 99% of us wouldn't roleplay with a personal blog, but we'd answer asks and, honestly, it encouraged a lot of plot progression. You wouldn't believe how much my Lysandre’s main plot benefited from random people barging in and bothering him about his personal life.
Now that there's such a hard line between rp and personals, it feels like there's some loss of that? I know people don't want to have their blogs treated as fics, but… I dunno. I kind of liked it. I made a lot of friends in that manner, and we'd have cards against humanity nights with the non-rpers, everyone laughing at all of our in-universe jokes together. We had Skype groups and got fanart and lots of fun anons pretending to be bystanders and reporters and whatnot. I miss it.
ANYWAY. This got rambly. Can you tell I've been around for a while.
4. which muse of yours is your all time favorite? if you stopped writing them: why?
Lysandre. By far.
I had a lot of time and work put into him, but ultimately I stopped writing him due to a combination of starting a new job, life stresses, having no time, and my own mental health issues. But he's still my favorite muse I've ever written — the amount of worldbuilding I and each of my writing partners ( and our non-roleplay friends via Skype ) did was massive. I worry that if I ever brought him back, a lot of his characterization / worldbuilding wouldn't make sense anymore, between a lack of people familiar with all his storylines as well as whatever development has happened in the rpc / anime / what have you. I contemplated it! But I don't think I could bring him back, tbh.
Which is a shame because his ending arc as the blog closed off dealt a lot with his newfound immortality after Xerneas decided to punish him. He was fun to watch develop because on one hand I had the funny cute haha shipping side, which back in the day of personals spectating rp blogs, got a lot of commentary — but on the other hand ( in the actual, more serious main verse ) he was slowly spiralling into a worse and worse version of himself that ultimately resulted in the destruction of flare and the end of his relationship that resulted in ( canonically, on my sycamore partner's blog ) years of therapy for Augustine to recover from the whiplash of everything that happened between them.
Also shout-out to the Serena I used to write with who made a side-verse with me where she was Lys's daughter and didn't know it. Lives in my mind rent-free all the time because GOD the torment of him being taken down by his own daughter who he thought he was protecting. 100/10 if I ever were able to write him again I'd go that route.
13. what themes/motifs do you hope other people notice most about your character?
For Viv, I'm going to say I really just want people to catch on to the fact that he's… Selfish, sure, definitely catty and mean, but it's his desire for knowledge that truly gets the best of him. He can choke down his pride to get the information he wants — hide his work, hide who he is, just to know things. His whole thing is just a pursuit of knowledge. He has a selfish goal, yeah ( making himself into a hybrid of human and pokemon ) but it's because he's curious.
His hubris, I guess, is what I want people to see in him.

(can be any kind, platonic, romantic, familial, antagonistic, etc.) 8. do you expect your answered memes/asks to be turned into threads? regardless of answer, what’s your reasoning? 9. when you look at a new blog, what is it that makes you press the follow button? is it the muse, the aesthetics, the writing–? 10. what genre do you most enjoy, whether in roleplay, or fiction as a whole? (fantasy, period, superhero, etc.) 11. describe your ideal outcome/endgame for the muse you are currently writing. if you are a multimuse blog: do this for your current favorite muse, or the muse of the last reply you posted. 12. what roleplay trends do you remember from the year you started tumblr rp? how did you feel about those trends? 13. what themes/motifs do you hope other people notice most about your character? 14. which roleplay community has been your favorite to write in? 15. icons, or gifs? you can only pick one, and cannot say ‘neither.’

last post for it but I have comms open to help me with rent!! I'm about $50 short and just need to cover the last bit of it.
They're open for everything from headshots to full illustrated scenes — my carrd has all the info. here's a few examples of headshots / full body sticker style / illustrations — they're all fully colored and lined.
Anything at all helps!! And if you want art I've done for you printed as stickers or prints, I can do that too.
