what got you to pick up volo as a muse? :)

›   ❝   munday questions.

thought he was a very beautiful man and much like a man from the victorian days of olde i simply could not tear my eyes away from such temptation... like the sight of a bare ankle on mid-summer's morn.

okay but more seriously.

i started getting vibes from volo the minute he dropped in the character trailer, right? i read his description on the website and thought to myself 'oh, hmm, he's curious about people and things...? seems to follow you where ever you go? very suspicious. it reminds me of colress. wonder if they'll do a second coming of that.', but i left it alone because i decided, well, let's see how the game handles him. it could be a fluke and a red herring, he is cynthia's ancestor, for as much as that sets up the possibility that cynthia's ancestor might be fucked up.

fast-forward. i don't think about him again until the pla leaks start surfacing. the leak of That Famous Scene drops, as well as the script, and my jaw is on the floor. i immediately run to my friends and start going off about how the madmen actually did it. i don't use the term brainrot too loosely, but i mean it when i say like i could not stop thinking about volo for hours and days upon days. when the video dropped of the mt. coronet confrontation, i watched it multiple times until it got removed. like, i couldn't stop thinking about this stupid yellow komaeda anime man. i was so fascinated and pulled in by his motivations, i was so enamored with his whole ordeal of being like that.

i love characters who are too curious to the point of self-destruction, and lead to live a cautionary tale. i love characters with heavy religious themery and complicated relationships with religious figures in their lives. i love characters who are ruthlessly ambitious and will do whatever is necessary to ensure their goals, and who don't give up when they've been beaten down. i love characters who are manipulative and surprise you by getting you in the back, and a twist villain that at least i think, personally, is good, because they really play upon the trust you're meant to have in a cynthia-esque figure because of gen 4 nostalgia. i love a good villain/antagonist who has just reasons and is tragic, but they don't get woobified and magically changed at the end, who have good reasons for doing what they do but the execution is horrible. i love characters who are full of grief and rage at the world and channel it in the worst possible ways.

he's very much a cocktail of my favorite things in a character, and someone i knew i would have such a blast exploring and writing and figuring out on paper. he's a very easy muse for me, both in voice and thoughts, aside from how i pick at my brain constantly to try and decide which headcanons i like most for him. he's just very fun!! i enjoy him, and i knew i could at least do an okay enough job at writing someone like him, so here i am.

@reconductor​  :     what abt... reach for the stars

the way it sounds like a current!dub intro........ incredibly satoshi vibes too

satoshi’s Goal(tm) of being a pokemon master as the stars,,     the way that even with all the small guilts & regrets that satoshi has, he never truly regrets anything that got him to where he is today,,,,     just keeping on going further & bigger, pushing on through adversity refusing to cave to other people telling him how he should go about it all, sticking to his convictions..........

the way becoming a battler opened up so many possibilities that satoshi’d never known before, brought him to having so many friends, unlocked powers he never would have been aware of otherwise......     that one fic i have of satoshi’s pov of the bond phenomenon describing the synchronization as something that feels Right, feels Fated, feels Destined.........     the way satoshi loves little more than to help his friends achieve their dreams, pulling or pushing them along on their paths alongside him, cheering them on every step of the way towards greatness of their own right.......................

@reconductor asked: 👤+ Ingo and Emmet :)

x // also tagging @zeconductor​ because referring to your Emmet :D

“Oh, those two are very dear to me for sure. I really enjoy spending time with them.” There’s noticeable warmth in her voice as she speaks.

“I met Ingo first. He was so different from the way he is here! But I suppose that’s what losing your memories can do to you. The thing is, he was already very impressive back then with the way he bonded with pokémon, especially Sneasler. . . and I think that’s a very big sign of empathy. Ingo wasn’t incredibly expressive and that’s okay! One doesn’t need to be! What matters is the heart and I could already see when he was in that state that he has a very big one.”

Mai moves to pick up Minccino and let the pokémon sit on her shoulder. “And now that I know what he’s like here and with most of his memories returned. . . I think even more that he’s incredibly talented, smart, and kind. When I first got here, he dispersed a crowd with ease! Just had to use his voice! He’s got a strong bond with his pokémon too and it’s wonderful to watch. Truly, I’m happy I get to see him be the way he really is! Poor guy was so quiet and tired and clearly not entirely himself in Hisui!”

“Though, I do think he really needs to take more breaks-- take better care of himself. He deserves it. I understand and can see that he loves what he does, but everyone needs some time to relax and sleep, you know? You can have more fun when you take good care of yourself, too! Hopefully, I can help him see that, someday.”

She starts to gently pet Minccino, also scratching her behind one of her ears a little bit. “I met Emmet a little later than him.” A chuckle leaves her lips. “Almighty Dialga, he’s such an energetic guy! Such a wonderful presence! You simply can’t be bored with him around. Yes, he can be terribly rude and sometimes a bit difficult to handle. But that goes for everyone and you shouldn’t only look at that and completely ignore how wonderful and kind he is as well, especially towards Ingo and his pokémon.”

“Just look at how upset he gets when someone bothers his older brother or is rude to him in general! Look at how hard he worked to get him back! It’s incredibly sweet. . . He’s wonderful to me too. The latest ‘mission’ he seems to have is finding a girlfriend for me in that chaotic way of his. A little overwhelming, for someone like me who is so awkward, but. . . I do genuinely appreciate it.”

“Emmet is so talented and smart too. I still remember how impressed and in awe I was the first time I saw him battle. You should see just how amazing he is at working together with his pokémon! And he’s such a powerful duo together with Ingo too! Those two are so talented!” 

Another chuckle leaves her lips. “For the longest time, I couldn’t understand what they meant with ‘trains’, ‘stations’, ‘tracks’ and ‘all aboard’. But I get it now and can listen to them talk about trains for hours. I may still have a hard time understanding a couple of things but. . . Seeing how happy they are when they get to talk about that subject is the best.”

The smile on Mai’s face widens. “I’m happy that I get to call them my little brothers!”

Akari: *Kicks the door down looking panicked* Ingo: What did you do? Akari: Nobody died. Ingo: WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT?!

@reconductor​​ || small starter

After blindly running into a cave from a Gligar attack, the duo consisting of Avery and the pink Buneary, decided to use this break to sulk in despair take a rest. There didn’t seem to be any other aggressive Pokemon living here and there was a little bit of light from the torches. Save for the giant Crobat that could be heard in the distance, it seemed safe. Kinda. It was better than nothing.

The Buneary perked both of his ears up hearing footsteps and immediately took a battling stance, preparing to strike whatever decided to come near, much to Avery’s dismay.

instructions unclear stabbed the inbox

bro................. i just put new carpet down do you know how much that costs to replace in a tumblr inbox in 2022........ ):

[volot]

grabs u by the neck u are genuinely such a good writer all of your meta and study posts are such a delight to read??? you put so much thought into everything and the way you write things and how it all has to come together to make a cohesive portrayal it's just amazing dude. you are doing an EXCELLENT job and adding SO MUCH to volo without losing sight of who he is and what makes him him and it's genuinely amazing because it's so hard to integrate so many new things into a portrayal and still be loyal to who they are without getting some things ooc or deviating too much from the muse itself that they are suddenly not recognizable anymore. genuinely in awe all the time at how you do it and how well you are doing things. i will slap you if you say otherwise

›   ❝  prompt: portrayal meme 2: electric boogaloo.

i DONT have the pic of kermit the frog getting throttled right now but pretend i posted it with this ask because wtf.... .BRO FAE YOU ARE TOO KIND 😭as someone who is like, always running on the basis of 'i have to be Married to canon until it does something i dislike', this is realms and realms of reassuring. i always worry if i'm potentially toeing the line of going a little too into deviation or even ooc territory... so this is a big relief. that said i am mutually throttling you because i can apply this to you!!!! tenfold!!!! I'VE ALREADY GUSHED IN YOUR INBOX BUT PLEASE BRO..... i still go off the rails over all your subway bros meta and how much you made me love VOLKNER of all characters, mr. gym-leader-i-had-no-real-opinion-on... you are exceptionally talented and a delight as always, overflowing with depth and nuance and incredible skill! don't lose your spark!
