Ahhh squiggly! I just got a chance to read my request you fulfilled and I loved it so so much!!! And I’m extremely honored you enjoy my messages, I’m glad they make your day better! If Pokémon requests are still open, may I please request another one with Roark? I headcannon he gives really good bear hugs! 10/10 bodies the person (and tooootally dosent spin his s/o) and if it’s not a big deal, can you also do another x reader? But, if your Pokémon requests are full, no worries friend! Just ignore this request and have a lovely day! Thank you so so much!! -⚡️

Aww!!! That makes my heart happy! Thank you friend :) And gah, my heart is BLOOMING! Roark beloved- I always love writing for him! This is beyond precious! I've gotcha covered, friend! Have an amazing day aswell!

There was a lot of things you loved about Roark.

For one- he was an absolute dork about fossils and rocks. He could ramble for hours about the history of various prehistoric pokemon and their habits, forms, and the mythology associated with them. His excitement for said things was incredibly endearing, and he had a way to him that made even what seemed like the most boring aspects entertaining.

He was also incredibly supportive of you in all your plans and decisions. As long as you were doing it for you and weren’t putting yourself in harm's way, he was your number one cheerleader, encouraging you to take risks and being there for you if you stumbled. 

Both in the metaphorical and literal sense. He’s a strong guy- there had been more than one occasion where he carried you home after you hurt or exhausted yourself.

All these are great, but by far your favorite part of Roark came in his hugs. There were two types when it came to the fossil loving redhead: the first was softer- a gentle squeeze when the day’s been long and you needed physical affection. They could last forever if you desired it.

The second was even better.

“ROARK! ROARK I GOT IN!” You all but screamed as you raced through Oreburgh, flying past trainers and workers alike. In your hand you were waving a piece of paper, the words “We welcome you to Naranja Academy” sprawled across the top. “THEY ACCEPTED ME!”

“They did?” Roark, who had come running at your screams, whooped in joy as he gathered you up in his arms, spinning you around as you laughed and laughed. “That’s my (Y/N)! I knew they'd accept you! I knew it!”

“I’m going to Paldea!” You cheered, hugging him just as tight as he let you down on your feet. Then the reality of what was happening kicked in, dampening your mood. “I’m leaving Sinoh..”

“Hey, hey- no tears.” Roark smiled as he reached up, brushing your cheek. “This is a good thing! You’ll finally get to travel like you’ve always wanted!” He pinched your cheek gently. “My dear (Y/N)’s gonna be famous! Don’t forget me when you're the new champion, okay?”

“Ugh, you’re annoying!” You laughed, shoving him lightly. “Really though- I won’t be home for a year. I’m gonna miss you.”

“I will, too.” Finally, a drop of sadness entered his voice, the two of you sharing the moment as the world went on. “But,” he shook himself out of it, smiling once more. “I’ll come visit! Once you're settled in, you can give me a tour of the region and introduce me to all your new friends.”

“Hm, we’ll see. I might be too famous by then.” Yout teased, laughing as he pulled you along, the two of you arm in arm as you walked back to your shared apartment. You were gonna miss him when you were gone. “Promise you’ll at least video call me?”

“Everyday.” He swore, raising a pinky finger.

You tucked yours around his, smiling.

Send me a headcanon and character(s) and I'll write a short 300-500 word dabble for it!

I surprised my niece and nephew with their Hogwarts acceptance letters while dressed as Professor McGonagall! My dad made my wand and I made a book purse to carry their items. A week before my niece's 11th birthday.

This is what it took for me to get accepted into my university. 

This is all the paperwork, from acceptance letters, scholarship notices, orientation, you name it, I probably have a letter from someone about it. This stack, is just that. A stack. 14 envelopes got me into university. 

What these 14 envelopes don’t tell, is me crying about how passionate I was for something, while writing the scholarship essay for one of my scholarships. 

It doesn’t show me spending nights upon nights adding up totals to somehow find a way to make the money work, to somehow lower the cost. 

It doesn't show me calling my mom crying tears of joy, and thanking every higher power I could think of when I got my financial statement, and found out I would be getting money back from my university. 

It doesn’t show the nerves as I opened my orientation packet and started thinking about my course schedule, how I would find my way around campus, when I would eat, where I would park? 

I am unbelievably grateful for these 14 envelopes, and know I worked incredibly hard to get each scholarship, but it is crazy to think how every single one of these envelopes has probably lead to tears at some point. 

Fourteen envelopes changed my life forever, one less envelope and who knows what I would be doing right now. 14 pieces of paper decided my future. Let that sink in. 

LET THAT SINK IN.

[04.03.20] ✧ 92 days of productivity

ft. me at the top of Storke Tower!!!

I hope everyone is KILLING their quarter or semester! I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA for nearly a month -- let’s just say it’s been the most hectic few weeks known to man.

In these past few weeks I have finished my thesis (at a grand total of 71 pages and more to go!), I have gotten accepted to TWO GRADUATE PROGRAMS, and I am planning on moving back to Colorado on 13 March. Which means I absolutely need to finish the rest of my undergraduate education with a completed 100 days of productivity!! Even though I haven’t counted the last month into my total, I really want to dedicate these last two weeks to completing that milestone, as well as the milestone of getting my BA degree from UCSB!!*~

The two graduate programs I’ve gotten accepted to?:

- University of Edinburgh College of Art - MSc Modern and Contemporary Art: History, Curating & Criticism

- Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Baltimore - MFA Curatorial Practice

I literally am beside myself -- I have worked so hard for this opportunity and I’m finally realizing all of it. It is also extremely surreal considering it is my last two weeks at UCSB, and I am trying to complete everything on my UCSB bucket list! Of course, going to the top of storke tower was the ultimate. <3

What’s left now?

To-dos: ✧ Thesis editing + add additional photographs ✧ ANTH 130 presentation notes, slides, and paper ✧ ARTHI 5B presentation tomorrow! Background research, time it out, have a script ✧ GreenTongues conference and coding ✧ Contact Eco Vista creatives team to look at creating platforms for stickers, logo, t-shirts, and other related merch (which you could feature on your portfolio!)

Tracker: 
 ✧ Mood: amazing 
✧ Energy: 90% ✧ Sleep: 7h 
 ✧ Water: 3 glasses 
 ✧ Listening to: coffee (side note: playyard is a local IV band!) ✧ Workout: I actually haven’t worked out since my last post LOL, but I bike quite regularly and eat extremely healthy ✧ Skincare: LOL my retinol has burnt my skin, working on it 
✧ What made me happy today: the sunshine and the ocean, this entire week it’s been 80 degrees (26.6 c) and I’m taking it all in <3   ✧ What made me proud today: graduate programs and literally achieving all of my dreams rn

I hope to send this same positive energy and luck throughout my lovely tumblr community xx

Acceptance Letters // Izuku Midoriya

The squeak of the mailbox door was loud and prominent, as Inko Midoriya watched her son open the mailbox with an excited look on his face, and then close it when he saw it empty. She had begged for him to come inside and eat a few times before, only for him to refuse and continue to open and close the mailbox.

Inko had been counting the days, and she was sure that the letter had gotten lost in the mail or something. It was five days late, and Hogwarts was never late. Alternatively, at least it was five days late from the date she had first received her letter in the mail all those years ago. Whatever the cause, Inko had come down to two conclusions.

One: Her son hadn't gotten accepted into Hogwarts.

Two: The letter had gotten lost in the mail.

Thinking about her son, she hated to believe so, but she was more so leaning towards the first reason rather than the second. Compare to his other wizard friends, Izuku had shown barely any magical power. Now, Inko found herself regretting the decision to even mention Hogwarts to her son. He had gotten so excited about it when it was possible that he hadn’t gotten accepted.

Unable to watch any longer, Inko walked down the driveway and to Izuku, placing her hand on his shoulder. "It’s time to go inside. It’s getting dark out, and you need to eat dinner."

"But what if my letter arrives? I won’t see the owl!" Izuku complained, opening the mailbox once more.

"We’ll check it tomorrow, first thing in the morning. Deal?" Her face softened as she saw the look of disappointment on her son’s face. "First thing in the morning, and after dinner?"

"Okay... deal."

––––––––––

They had checked both times, only to an empty mailbox. Inko watched as her son's heart broke, and his face fell. It appeared that she'd be sending him a regular school rather than the school of his dreams.

"I'm sorry, Izuku," she started, hearing her voice break for her son. "I really thought-"

Before she could finish, her son jumped up, pointing towards the sky. "Mama look!"

Inko's eyes went wide as she immediately recognized the figure, it was Toshinori Yagi. She wondered what his reason was for showing up, especially since her son hadn't been accepted into Hogwarts. As he landed, she asked just that.

"My sincerest apologies, Mrs. Midoriya! Your son's letter got lost due to a faulty owl, and I've come to personally deliver it!" He gave a grand pose, his muscly arms on his hips.

Inko's eyes briefly shifted to her son, who's jaw was on the floor. "It's Toshinori Yagi! He's only the greatest Auror ever! And he's standing in front of me!"

"That's no problem!" She hastily looked back to Toshinori and grabbed the letter, handing it to Izuku.

The two watched as he read over the pice of paper, all of his emotions clear. First confusion, then surprise, and the best part— pure joy. He jumped up and down, the letter clutched in his left hand. "I got in! I got in!"

Still, Inko couldn't help but wonder the reason for Toshinori Yagi's appearance. She'd recently read about his retirement as an Auror in both The Daily Prophet and The Quibbler, but she was sensing that there was something more here. Yet standing here with possibly one of the greatest Wizards of all time, it confused her.

However, it could've been the fact that she hadn't seen Toshinori in person since graduation at Hogwarts. They were part of different houses, so it wasn't like she saw him often, but that didn't stop all the rumors she heard about him. He'd gotten taller and stronger since then, that's for sure.

––––––––––

"Mister Yagi, why did you come with me to Diagon Alley instead of my Mom?" Izuku asked, still in awe of the magical things that were usually hidden from the real world.

"Good question, Young Midoriya! Please call me All Might, though." Toshinori grinned, patting the green-haired boy on the back.

"Right. Where'd you get the nickname?"

"It was a nickname my co-workers gave me in the Ministry of Magic. I got used to it, and now my real name seems formal!" He laughed at his own words, slowly becoming silent when he realized that Izuku wasn't laughing along.

"Anyways! We'll need to get your robes, textbooks, a pet if you want one, a wand... Do you plan on playing Quidditch?"

"What's that?"

A look of genuine surprise came upon Toshinori's face. "You've never heard about Quidditch? That's a shocker since your mother was at all of the games!"

Toshinori guided Izuku through all of the stores, knowing exactly where to stop for the finest supplies. His robes were a perfect fit, his textbooks were brand new- Izuku couldn't help but wonder how much all of this had cost. But before he could ask, he was swept into one of the many pet stores.

"Pick a pet, Young Midoriya!" All Might announced, gesturing his hands all around the store.

Izuku looked around, immediately drawn towards an Eostrix Owl, who's feathers stood upwards in a similar fashion to that of All Might.  However, that dream was short-lived as the owl lunged at him when he approached it.  He looked at the cats next, all of which paid no attention to a possible owner. As he examined the animals, Izuku couldn't help but feel as if no animal was truly calling him.

"All Might, what animal did you—“ Before he could finish, the green-haired boy came face to face with a toad covered Toshinori Yagi.

Surprised, Izuku jumped back, almost hitting his back against another owl cage. All Might stood proudly, one toad in each hand and two toads on each shoulder. They all croaked in unison as if calling Izuku to approach them.

"Young Midoriya! I used to have one of these when I was still a student! It looks like they still like me!" Toshinori laughed, Izuku awkwardly laughing with him this time. "Here, take one!"

Before he could protest, All Might placed on of the toads in his hands, and it let out a dry-sounding croak. Izuku watched the creature, tilting his head. He reached out with his other hand, using his index finger to gently rub the toad's back, and it let out a satisfactory croak.

"He likes you!" All Might announced, now toad-free.

"Yeah, I guess he does," Izuku smiled at the toad, watching as it climbed up his arm and rested on his shoulder. "Can I have him?"

"Of course you can! I've already paid!"

The next stop was getting a cauldron, which was relatively easy. Quidditch popped up again, and when All Might fully explained it, Izuku was over the moon with excitement to play. Without hesitation, he bought the boy a broom and they moved on to the final store: Olivander's.

"Now this is the best part," Toshinori began, fond memories clouding his mind. "Letting the wand chose you is truly magical, and this is the best place!"

A man appeared behind the desk, his hair was greying and his body looked rather frail. A smile came to his face when he saw All Might, but the more Izuku looked at him, it appeared to be more of a smirk than a smile.

"Back so soon? Did you break another wand, Toshinori?" The man asked, half-laughing as he spoke.

"Not today Olivander! Young Midoriya here needs to get his first wand!"

Olivander immediately rushed from behind his desk and grabbed a seemingly random wand from one of the many shelves. When he opened the black casing, a darker-wooded wand was revealed to Izuku's eyes. Gently, he took it from the box and handed it to the young wizard, urging him to try it. The wand, as expected on a first try, didn't work. Before Izuku could even process what was happening, he was given another wand, this one of a much lighter color.

"The second wand it is!" All Might announced when he saw Izuku perfectly cast the spell Lumos. "I've never seen someone get a wand so quickly! It usually takes four or five times, even thirty on occasion!"

"That one's made of hornbeam wood, with a phoenix feather core. It's ten and three-fourths inches. Pretty flexible too." Olivander explained, accepting the gold galleons that All Might was giving to him.

"It's been a productive day! I've got to get you home before your mother starts to worry." Izuku nodded and followed Toshinori back to the exit. This was truly an experience he'd never forget.

––––––––––

"Why'd you go out of your way to deliver that letter to that boy, All Might?" Hizashi Yamada, the Head of Gryffindor house, asked.

"I don't know why, but I see so much of myself in Young Midoriya. You can barely sense any magic energy from him, but such a powerful wand chose him! You'd have to see it with your own eyes." Toshinori explained, a smile on his face.

"If that's the route he's taking, he might be stronger than you!" Hizashi joked, his laugh sounding like it had been amplified through three speakers.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he did."

"He better stay out of trouble," Shota Aizawa, Head of Ravenclaw, added. "Unless he's really like you. Then trouble will come to him."

"I wasn't that much of troublemaker." Toshinori defended, rolling his eyes.

"Sure. Just remember that our house never won the House Cup because of you!" Hizashi teased, wounding Toshinori's pride a little bit.

“That doesn't matter! The boy will do better than me, I know it."
