10.

10. someone they’re holding a grudge against.

to Paulo

GET FUCKED.

Handsome Jack is doing AMAZING with me. You really thought you were proving a point when you shoved your Rockruff — your STARTER, your BEST FRIEND — in my arms and abandoning him huh? Bet you feel real fucking stupid now knowing that Jack took me all the way to the finals in the PWT. Bet you feel stupid angry about it. The egg is on your face, now, huh.

you’re bitter that you’re not a champion? Well. stay bitter.

now honestly, how do you feel about paulo?

send me “now, honestly…” and a question and my muse(s) will answer: how they would normally respond and how they would respond if they had to be totally honest (Accepting!)

THERES SOMETHING ABOUT PAULO

“The next time I see his pasty blond ass I’m gonna beat him up. What’s his fucking problem! Why’s he gotta be like that?! I thought maybe he just needed to get it out of his system but fighting just made him worse. That’s not how it’s supposed to work!! I hate him!”

THERES SOMETHING ABOUT PAULO

“…

i won’t forgive him.”

[skullkxd]

how did you and Paulo even become rivals?

“About three or four months back he said he was abandoning his Rockruff and that he needed a full team overhaul to ‘get better’…”

…—- a pause.

“… and I punched him without thinkin’ about it. And I’d do it again.”

Because that lesson so clearly didn’t sink in the first time.
