Edare: Neither I nor my sibling have control over the actions of others, or their choices in harming others. I do try and teach those that seek my advice and wisdom to be above prejudicial and otherwise unkind behavior, and to spread that philosophy onto others, but changing the hearts and minds of others rarely happens overnight.

Do not mistake my woe as pity, my child, searching for an answer to a question seeded deeply in societal behavior is no simple task. You’ve made it very far, despite your hardships and the injustices you’ve faced. I am proud of your progress, even though you might disagree on calling it that.

Fanart Friday! (this time actually on Friday..)

@ask-an-absol I.. kinda got carried away..

[gregnas-the-grouch]

"So, is this what awaits us after death? No chance to leave this shithole of an earth? Just an eternity spent as a ghost?" The Absol mused as he caught sight of Baozhai. "Or maybe there is some sort of judge out there weighing who gets to stay or go. I wouldn't suppose you have the answer, even if you are a ghost type yourself."

Baozhai was busy watching Yemir roughhouse with Xun, her tall assassin. The rogue, needless to say, had an unamused look on his face. Clearly tired dealing with the Gallade’s nonsense. How fortunate that, for a Cofagrigus, Xun was quite speedy, easily keeping a distance from the yelling Gallade. Whatever thoughts Baozhai was musing over, they were soon interrupted by the Absol. 

Her amber eyes slowly shifted towards the biped, making note of the creature’s myriad assortment of scars dotting its body. The intense anger emanating from his face. “My, aren’t you quite the looker.” Baozhai chuckled lightly, though she paused upon the creature’s inquiry. Her eyes narrowed, though behind that helmet, one couldn’t tell if the ghost felt amusement at such a question. Or just outright pity.

“No, I suppose I don’t, even if my relationship with death is oh so peculiar.” The ghost mused. “Either way, why would it matter if we spent eternity as a wraith or passed on to some sort of afterlife that spirits are meant to go? A dimension where we live the rest of our endless existence as some geist, frolicking in eternal paradise or unending torment. How dull and pointless. No change, no unforeseen outcome. Just… A static existence.” Baozhai spat with disgust in her voice.

“Do not be so quick to welcome death. Or you may lament the loss of whatever you held dear in this world, little as it may be… Then again, I suppose one could say I suffered from the opposite problem, back when I was alive…” And with that, the armored clad phantom went silent, eyes eerily more intense than usual.

Takeo chuckles a little at the excited pup, "Well... I'm not a Lycanroc. I'm a Lucario... and we evolve from Riolu through something humans call Happiness, but really its more like emotional maturity or emotional control.... I was robbed of the chance to achieve that control by humans, forced to evolve too young." 

Dakota looks up at Takeo with a worried expression “Momma?” 

Takeo cuddles Dakota, looking at the little Rockruff with a sad smile, "Well.. I suppose all of that is a bit much for a child to understand... I understand Rockruff like yourself are more similar to Zorua, in that you evolve by training hard. The best way to train is against someone you trust but who is an element that is stronger than you. It forces you to think carefully because they hit you hard but in all likelyhood you are hitting them very weakly." 

Dakota wiggles in Takeo's arms numming on his arm not understanding a word of what he said.

Takeo pets Dakota trying to keep her entertained while he talks to the pup, "In your case as a Rock element Lucario would actually be very good training foes! We are Fighting Steel which you are weak to both elements!" 

He leans down to give the little Shuppet a nuzzle, “Zorua as Dark elements are also weak to Fighting, which is another reason we form packs together. Riolu make excellent sparing partners for Zorua~"

He sits back up seeming a little happier now, "And with Zorua's tricky nature it makes for excellent practice for the Riolu in reading auras for emotional context without things like facial expression and body language as aids~"

Dakota starts whining as she proceeds to bite a little harder now.

Takeo flinches a bit at the hard bite, looking down at Dakota with a sigh “That said I cannot spar with you right now little one. I must attend to this egg and keep Dakota entertained while we wait for Kai to return. He’s gone to get another bath to try and get that sparkly stuff out of his fur... It refuses to get out of his fur.”

Lupine@Pinkan: The little pup stared at the Sneasel for an awfully long time, his eyes narrowing upon the rosy dark type as he scrutinized his complexion. It was enough to become uncomfortable just before he barked. "Did your cheeks just blink?!"

“You see…. uhhh 4 eyes are better to see things with than 2 eyes? But because my eyes look…uh… different and I have 4 of them I uh… Have to keep them hidden?” Pinkan replies flatly, sounding as though he is starting to give up.  He hopes that this explanation will be sufficient for the children, because he sure doesn’t have another one planned.

Callias: “Big words, comming from a little runt. You haven’t even grown into your horn yet. That is, if you will even have one.” The absol huffed, his expression stoic as he looked down at the young one. “You have yet to begin to test your strengh, so you should not allow yourself to become arrogant.”

The child lowered his body to the ground as Callias’ shadow cast over him, and his voice spoke. Noah was sitting close by ,watching on, prepared to step in if needed. 

“I-I will grow my h-horn!” The child’s voice wavered as he replied, “Y-You’re an absol! You look like you’ve seen some fights, did you get b-bullied?” He asked innocently, trying his hardest to stand up taller, but his legs would not support him as he was intimidated. “Tell me how to be a warrior like you!” He finally squeaked out.
