#ILLSPIRIT. weep, boy, weep!

ind. sel. mutuals and 20+ only roleplay blog. MYERS, an original character based in the PKMN universe. a study in: the psychological and physical ramifications of being part of a cult, the need to keep yourself vigilant lest you perish, having your constitution likened to the fragility of a late-autumn leaf, the horror of your home being a place of danger rather than safety, tentative immortality that is constantly threatened to be pulled out like a rug beneath your heels, the dread of creatures that shouldn't exist but do. like ( ♥ ) or reblog ( ↺ ) this post and i'll check you out!

OCTAVIUS, an original character based in the PKMN universe. a study in: the tug of the beast versus the allure of man, the sudden, violent loss of family and loved ones from something out of your control, adjusting to culture shock, loss of status, needing to conceal a facet of your identity that is so integral to you. like ( ♥ ) or reblog ( ↺ ) this post and i'll check you out !

so me and my friend were making like. character conceptual ideas for pkmn and we were thinking about inspirations from other characters and like. werewolves. AND THEN this concept came to mind:

paradox pkmn / human? kinda?? hybrid. basically he's a supernatural creature that can fluctuate between a pkmn form and human form. sorta like a werewolf !! yoinked via the time machine.

since i'm firmly of the mindset that legendary pkmn are of (albeit modest) multitude, rather than being more singular / exclusive like mythical pkmn, thinking that there was a small pack of zacians and zamazentas.

although i know the quote unquote true story of the first Darkest Day was the two youths / galarian kings partnering with zacian and zamazenta to defeat eternatus, i was thinking. what if. werewolves.

idk i just really like werewolves

and was thinking that the pack of zacian and zamazenta were petering away due to various reasons and this dude specifically was drawn in by the time machine (either sada's one or a malfunction of turo's one), maybe the grandson or great-grandson of one of the kings, and currently lives in modern times. there's probably been some weird time fuckery going on and he's lived in modern times for two years or roundabout there, currently an independent detective with a very, very good nose for sniffing out people, pkmn, and clues.

tl;dr werewolves but pkmn <3

juggling if i should make arven stay as 20 or make him 21 or 22....... it's a small difference but. he's definitely, out of the four main characters, the oldest. he's an upperclassman in an academy that accepts all ages and treks of life, but i don't believe him older than 21 or 22.

some ppl might be like. oh but the professor calls them collectively "children"! i'm 27 and i call anyone 21 or below babies, light-heartedly, because they're very young in my eyes. i imagine the professor, although AI, is probably in their 40s or thereabouts and probably has a likeminded perspective, either gradually adopted or inherited from the professor's personality.

"what odd turns our lives have taken...how do you feel?" from Felix!

“…”

Silence wafted betwixt them. Arven’s gaze shifted away from Felix’s. He normally didn’t talk about his feelings like this—years and years of bundling them up tight and kicking them beneath his childhood bed took its toll—but he felt the undeniable urge clawing fiendishly at his throat, until it hurt. Tension clenched his body, coiled his fists; he almost felt like his knuckles would breach through skin.

He took a moment. A moment, just for himself, to breathe silently through his nose.

Then, he talked.

“I feel … strange. Relieved? Saddened? But strange, ultimately. Everything’s topsy-turvy and I,”  he laughed, though mirthless and hollow,  “it’s almost too much, buddy.”

The word buddy—something he’d leaned into calling Felix the more they trekked down the path of healing Soleado, his mabosstiff, and he learnt to trust his fellow student—was genuine but strained. Emotion threatening at the cusp.

PROMPTS FROM REIGN *  assorted dialogue from the television show

you don't sound very enthusiastic.

now's not a good time.

i opened my heart to a liar.

you are a necessary evil whose orbit i can't seem to escape.

there is always risk.

what happened between us can never happen again.

do you flirt with everyone?

how do you feel?

if the price is my life, i will give it.

my heart says i should be with you, no matter what.

you shouldn't be here.

we belong together. i won't lose you to another.

we can only love each other.

i can't bear to think about a future anymore, not without you.

i'm scared of being alone.

are you alone? are you with someone?

i know it's not what you want to hear.

i never said i was a good man.

it's not about that.

we were supposed to dance under the stars.

i can't believe this is goodbye.

to see your smile is to feel the sun.

you don't want to marry me.

you want to hear something honest? i would do anything to keep you.

i love you. i am your equal.

those memories are a part of me. but i am stronger than they are.

there were other ways of handling this.

you must continue to sacrifice.

history is written by survivors.

you will blame yourself, most of all.

i am quite happy with my view.

i don't care what you learn, as long as you don't forget.

you have no intention of marrying me.

i refuse to surrender.

you're beautiful and clever and unpredictable.

danger surrounds me here, and i am in your debt.

are you in danger too?

i never saw any ghosts.

whatever happens, i'll never leave you.

now i am lying to you.

i love you, and i thank god for the time we've had.

i lose everyone i love.

i'm not sure i trust my own fate anymore.

what odd turns our lives have taken.

do we trust each other?

love is irrelevant to people like us.

there are forces that conspire, forces of darkness, forces of the heart.

your taste in men always did leave something to be desired.

how awful must you find me to do this.

you do realize that we're going to be married someday, don't you?

i don't know who you are, or why you hide, but your warning saved me.

i'm sorry we've come to this.

tell me why you're so afraid.

i am yours this night.

love is never simple. not that i'm any expert.

it makes me feel better.

my spirit is inside you as yours is inside mine.

you don't want this at all.

you fought so hard for me.

stop shutting me out.

this is the most dangerous thing you have ever done.

i'm not scared of death anymore.

i've learned to live with wanting things i can't have.

ruling requires that your hands be drenched in blood.

what if they saw you?

i show no mercy.

i don't know how much time we have left, but every moment matters.

you are so beautiful.

i want you to know i did not mean those words i said. i didn't even mean them in the moment.

our love will die here.

i take no pleasure in being right.

we've been over this already.

i don't know who to believe or to trust.

i'll protect you.

i can barely bear to have you look at me.

is this how it's going to be from now on? both of us constantly wondering what the other is up to?

things could change.

you seem shaken.

i'm still in some pain and i prefer not to be touched.

why is this so difficult?

take a stand, my love.

have you learned nothing?

i want you to listen to me carefully.

we're alone. there's no need.

you're not charming me tonight.

you crushed the rebellion by yourself.

love like that doesn't just disappear.

we can't do this.

may god have mercy on your soul.

is that what you want to hear?

do not test my power and do not tempt my fury.

what have you been discussing, the weather?

you cannot relent.

to what do i owe this surprise?

i won't let you do it.

the more we try to help each other, the more harm we do.

safe choices don't always make us safe.

i want you forever.

i think i shall never see you again.

when you came into my room, i shouldn't have said what i did.

i know you had a life before i got here.

stop being so strong, so perfect...

it's not that simple.

real love never fades, not truly.

tell me, what would hurt more? knowing the person you love will die, or knowing they're alive but you cannot have them?

i'd probably try to kiss you.

i love you. and one of us should be happy.

we have been given a miraculous second chance.

i thank you for your protection last night.

this was not an action of passion.

if i'm as responsible as you say, i will never forgive myself.

you must leave immediately.

i take things sometimes.

i had sex in that greenhouse once.

tell me when you want me to stop.

your life is more valuable than this.

just know whatever happens, this is not the end i dreamed for us.

men in general like to win.

why are you here?

i pay attention.

i love you. you do know that, no matter what i've done.

look where that love has brought us.

i'd rather have hope with you than certainty anywhere else.

i was only interested in claiming you.

your heart was my light.

you just said something about my ass.

i will spill blood to defend what's mine.

you must love again.

without you my heart is closed as tight as a fist.

why do you dismiss me?

you do not need to seduce a man who already wants you.

i wanted to give you the chance to do the right thing and i still believe you will.

[thwarts]

she PLOPS down into a sit on the ground and looks straight at mabosstiff!!!!!!!!!!

" bonjour!!! " :)

A girl, with hair reminiscent of the ocean in cloudless summertime and an eye of brittle autumn leaves, paraded up to him. Arven had barely any time to react; he blinked, turned, and prepped a greeting, even if annoyance seared the edges of his features. He usually preferred some warning before someone sprung up on him.

“H—”

And then the girl plopped herself by Soleado, his mabosstiff. It was more than apparent, to Arven at least, that he wasn’t the target audience here.

“… Okay. I guess.”

Soleado canted his head at her. Thick, furry ears fell downcast, following the gravity of the motion. It wasn’t often that he felt inclinations stronger than an inkling to new people, but for some reason he felt … perhaps the budding of kinship already? Her very presence was different to most; she smelled different, looked different, felt different.

Strange! Fascinating but strange!

Soleado canted his head to the other side. Again, did his ears flop. He let loose a gentle boof sound, one that resonated her greeting with one of his own, and his tail swished in a modest wag.

[thwarts]

i've only just healed mabosstiff . i'm dangerously close to my sandwich utensils you really wanna pick a fight with me rn

[thwarts]

"YO kid that sandwich looks hella delish, you mind if I snap a pic for my insta?" She's already preparing her camera app without even waiting for a response. "I'll TOTALLY credit you if you give me your socials." She probably wasn't actually going to credit him.

Ack—

Tension wound up in Arven’s body like a compressed spring. The urge to quip or snark was overwhelming, to the point where it nigh bounced off his tongue—until he recognised whom he was about to tear into verbal ribbons.

Iono. The one, the only.

He’d set up a picnic just outside Levinica’s southern mouth, where fashion and technology bled out into an upward weaving dirt track. All matters of commotion rattled near the exit, the rapid camera clicks and blinding peripheral flashes; it sparked a sense of dismay over his chosen picnicking spot, but it was too late, he’d already set up wholly and was halfway through piecing together a sandwich for each of his team. It was them who’d chose to tramp over his spot, not the other way around.

At least, that’s how he grudgingly rationalised it in his mind.

Now, here Iono was, shoving her rotomphone right into his face as he sat on the bed of grass, sandwich in tow. He’d be a fool to snap at her. Not unless he wanted her entire fanbase to chase him down with pitchforks and fire.

Arven sputtered a bit, words falling through his grasp like dry sand, before Soleado—his mabosstiff, his best friend—stood between them. He then sat, staring up at Iono. A look of mischief could be seen in his orange eyes as he intended to be, wholly and fully, a blockade against her. The sputtering, the stumbling came to a halt before he felt a smile flit across his lips.

“Protecting me against the sandwich paparazzi, eh, bud?”

He gently nudged Soleado with his elbow, and the giant canine let loose a soft boof.
