Send a “Partner’s Story” To My Inbox...

And my muse will tell the story of how they first met one of their Pokèmon.

Just a note that I am slowly moving my blog over to a new url, lunarisvesperaregina. Any follows from there are me, so don’t worry.

                                The hoarse breath looking for the dark and cold hand,                                            I’m rendered breathless by this grey reality.                               If I could have it so, the fish would swim without problem,                                              Laughing at us who walk on the earth!

                                 The hoarse breath looking for the dark and cold hand,                                         I’m rendered breathless by the grey moonlight.                                         The darkness melts my mind and body both,                                                Softly, quietly, step on their shadow!

A Little PSA

So I’m currently writing, rewriting, and retconning some stuff about Yuu, and while I’m doing that, I would like to point out that like many OCs I have, Yuugetsu is taken to logical extremes in terms of character. With the huge amount of team members she has, and how powerful many of them are, it’s very easy to chalk her up as overpowered and even Mary Sue-ish. 

Here’s the catch: that’s the point. 

Allow me to explain.

Yuu is made as overpowered and talented as she is to make her flaws that much more noticeable. I’ve a fondness for doing this, as I have another OC (of which I recently brought back) with the same gimmick, who is much, much more powerful (and flawed, for that matter) and was very popular back when I RP’d her on my previous account. So I figured I’d try something similar when I made Yuu for the Umbra Incident event on Discord, as it was an IC event, and I had yet to make a character for myself as a Gym Leader on the Shokiko League server. However, Yuugetsu has as many differences as she does similarities with Hoshirou, so I may as well go into what makes Yuu a more “balanced” character.

-Yuu has issues connecting to the common man. Most of us know that there’s a lot of shitty people in society, and Yuu is also very aware of this fact. Gossip, rumors, putting on masks just to stab others in the back, gross underbellies of seeming harmless cultures, Yuugetsu hates it. So, when confronted with people from these communities, she has a tendency to get rather unfriendly, to say the least. Things that also make her turn cold are idols who only use their Pokèmon as mascots and not as companions, the underside of the idol community (she knows damn well about the more disturbing things about the culture, including why it exists, what goes on behind the scenes, etc. She’s no innocent bystander.) people who treat their Pokèmon as lesser beings, and many other things that come to light when one thinks about it. I HC these issues, among others, to be very common in the Pokèmon universe, as sadly, it is common in ours, or at least, the equivalent is. This cynical view on mankind as a whole is why she is difficult to be on good terms with certain muses, and why certain other muses may find it to be a breeze to befriend. To her, good people who aren’t blind and innocent are hard to find, hence why she has few, if any, friends.

-It is very easy to upset her or get her angry, as she has a huge berserk button: her loved ones and those she respects. As shown every time me and my “family”/friends reblog the “insult meme,” Yuu gets very pissed when you make fun of others that didn’t deserve it and/or matters to her. Breaking her is also not very hard, as she has self-worth and self-esteem issues that she tries to cover up with achievements and accolades. She constantly tries to convince herself that she’s worthy of being the child of her parents, but she never feels like it’s true, no matter how hard she works, how many powerful Pokèmon she has at her disposal, or how many ribbons she wins from Contests. Want to see her as a wreck? Either get her to have a overstimulation-induced anxiety attack or just simply break her by reaffirming that she’s worthless. Either is effective.

-Yuugetsu isn’t as difficult to beat in battle as one might think. Remember, as a Gym Leader, she is restricted to a monotype team, and can be countered easily if one knows what they’re doing. That isn’t saying that she doesn’t have any counters to her weaknesses, just that there are some openings that can be exploited. Since all battles for threads take place on Showdown, and the mun herself earned her Gym Leader position through rigorous testing, noncompetitive muns may have a hard time defeating Yuugetsu in battle, especially since she takes only Double battle challenges for her badge. No need to fear, however, as the mun can tone the difficulty down if my real Gym team ends up being too hard for you. We can just retcon the battle if it turns one-sided. Battles against nuzlocked muses will automatically be toned down in difficulty to the best of my ability. 

-Outside of the Gym, she has a few powerful Pokèmon on her list that she refuses to catch and use, out of respect. Namely, Pidgeot, Manectric, and Metagross. These three are the Megas of choice of her mother, father, and honorary aunt, respectively. As much as she would like to use them, especially Manectric, she will not, as she feels as if she would be ripping off the respective user of that Mega. And yes, she still has many powerful Pokèmon at her disposal, many of them are frail or have glaring weaknesses to exploit. A surprising amount of them have quad weaknesses, many hard counters, and other very easy to spot, exploitable Achilles’ heels. That’s not to say that they can’t kick your ass, because they can, but they’re not almighty gods, either.

I’m sure I’m missing some, but those are the major ones. Hope you see my muse in a new light and enjoyed this post and all of its juicy tidbits.

I really hate to do this, but my activity as of late has been sparse. So, like or reblog for a starter from Yuu.

[evening-laced-moon-archived]

                Just dance once the count rings out,                 signaling the beginning.        It’s a banquet on a sleepless night.               Just throw away all of your inhibitions.                                                                        In fact, they are the right things here.                 All you’ve gotta do is to bring them on stage.

Knowing your writing partner can potentially make writing together a lot easier!

THE BASICS:

Name: Lotus Pronouns: They/She Sexuality: Somewhere under the ace/demi umbrella. Fuck if I know. Taken or single: Single, not opposed to having a partner, but not actively searching for one.

THREE FACTS:

I'm usually pretty oblivious to western pop culture, since I catered my tastes to (usually) niche eastern media from an EXTREMELY young age (I was given unrestricted internet access since 3rd grade.) MY OWN MOTHER introduced me to (non-children's) anime because I caught her watching Prince of Tennis. She allowed it because we're Japanese and it'd help with me learning via osmosis.

Somewhat related to the above, I'm both a foodie and an audiophile, and even though I have an absolutely abysmal appetite, I do have a taste for the good stuff since my family travels a lot. I do also enjoy cooking and baking when I have the energy to do it. On the music side of things, my CONDENSED playlist on YouTube is 2000 videos and counting.

I rarely have the energy for them, but I have a lot of creative hobbies, and I like working with my hands. Wax sealing, drawing, crochet, cooking/baking, stuff like that. I've been trying to get into visible mending/embroidery, but my motor control isn't the greatest, so I sometimes struggle with the fine details.

EXPERIENCE:

How long? (months/years): I've been roleplaying ever since... 2014? I have been on Tumblr since I was old enough to have an account, started RP later that year, quite literally learning RP etiquette via trial by fire, and while I've taken a couple year-long+ hiatuses, I keep coming back. There are people here who remember me from when I was a baby stumbling around and navigating how the fuck being on the internet works.

Platforms you've used: Uhh.... Tumblr and Discord, a couple other sites very briefly.

Best experience: Meeting my long-time accomplices @oflegendariesandtrainers and @castelias-comeups, back when all three of us were in the Touhou RPC. They've quite literally watched me grow up, and I would not be the same person without them.

MUSE PREFERENCES:

Female or Male: My muses? I feel like I have a better handle on female/NB muses, since I'm AFAB and therefore I have a lot more experience with the subtleties of the experiences of those muses, but I have a fair amount of male muses as well. As for the muses I like writing with? Don't care as long as the dynamic is fun. If anything, my muse preferences are more of a matter of mun chemistry than anything.

Fluff, Angst, or Smut: The list of people I'm comfortable writing smut with is short. The list of people I'll write smut with that are actually interested in writing smut is shorter. I'll take the other two any day, though.

Plots or Memes: Yes.

Long or Short Replies: I don't like super short replies unless it's dash comm or crack. Longer-form writing is more my speed. I like having something to work with.

Best Time To Write: Uhhh, depends on when I can wrangle my braincells. The mental disorder soup that is my brain can be fickle, but if I'm online, I'm usually down to clown.

Are You Like Your Muse(s): Yuu and I share some similarities, but we've got very different formative experiences that give a fair bit of contrast. The rest of my muses vary.
