Don't burn out!

Nimbasa's local... something? Lol. Call me Rusty o/ (pokemon irl blog, so blanket unreality warnin!)

[wicks-end]

Uhhh, hullo hullo o/? Not really sure what I'll post here, but I figured just havin a place to ramble could be fun, so here we are!

I'm Rusty (he/him), a 19 year old trainer currently livin in Nimbasa! Though you'll rarely see me there durin the day, since I tend to be pretty busy with uh, stuff outside of the city. Hopin things settle soon so I can be free more often, though!

My team so far is my partner Lampent (Soot ♂), Flareon (Amber ♂), and Larvesta (Solar ♀)! We like takin on gyms when we have enough freetime, and have three badges so far :]

If you recognize me from a certain evil team that tried to take over Unova a few years back, no you don't. But also I'm so sorry and doin everythin I can to make things right.

//ooc stuff now:

hi hi, writer's name is foxlin (he/him), and you can find my main here > @dexholderr! feel free to send an ask or message or whatever, im always down to chat ! do keep in mind that i am an adult though (22) o7

blog canon follows game canon (with a few liberties/additions) for pkmn black, with the events of said game being around four and a half years past and the events of black 2 bein around two and a half years past (still tryin to figure out the timeline for events in other games, so please bare with me o7)

warning for possible mention/discussion of manipulation/child neglect, as well as violence beyond what would be expected of a typical pokemon battle in the future? just cause of rusty's history and team plasma being Like That. all warnings are tagged like "#trigger", (ex: #child neglect)

i also am still rather new to the whole pokemon irl/rotomblr thing, so very sorry if i mess up somewhere or miss somethin!! please feel free to lmk if i mess up somewhere so i can fix it o7!!

Pelipper mail and musharna mail/malice are on, though magic anons are not !! Might change eventually, but I'd rather find my footing first before gettin into too many shenanigans gkbxhs

general dni stuff, no racists, nazis, or bigots of any kind. and no proshippers either. also, rusty and i are both adults, but please keep all interactions sfw, ty!

Ok, so I've messaged the professor, and she said she should be free to talk tomorrow, which leaves me kind of just. Wanderin around again for today. Maybe I could visit the old diner and just hope I don't get recognized? Could be nice

[wicks-end]

The trip has been... surprisingly ok so far. Got to Nuvema a few hours ago and have just been walkin around, seein what's changed in the past few years. It's been nice, if not a bit. Odd? Makes me wish I had been here to see it all as it's happened.

[wicks-end]

Today's the day. I won't be leavin until around noon, so I have a little bit of time left to get myself together. But... I have to admit that it'll be nice to see home, even if only for a short while. Maybe it'll be alright

[wicks-end]

Stayin home for the day today, goin to try to relax a bit before tomorrow. I already have everythin I'd need ready, so it's just a matter of waiting now.

[wicks-end]

As New Years gets closer, I'm feelin more and more nervous. I'm plannin on visitin Nuvema for it, but I haven't spent more than a few hours at a time there in years, and last time, uh. Didn't end so well. Hopin this time goes better o7

[wicks-end]

I have been. Gifted a sweater? I walked into the base earlier and one of my coworkers basically shoved it into my hands and walked away before I could say anything lol

[wicks-end]

For all that I don't really celebrate Delibird Day, I would've rather not spent it sick xlxbbej

[wicks-end]

Spent the evenin bakin yesterday, it was nice! Soot likes helpin out where he can (mainly stirrin and passin me ingredients), so it was fun workin together. We made a bunch so I can bring some to work today, and have plenty left over for my team and I :D

shitty parents poll time

how did your parents treat you?

I would classify both of my parents as abusive.

One parent is abusive, the other is dysfunctional but tolerable.

Both my parents are dysfunctional but tolerable.

One parent is absent, the other is good.

One parent is absent, the other is bad.

It's complicated and I'm still coming to terms with my feelings about it.

Technically, I have parents, but they're never... around.

Wait, you guys have parents?

What the fuck, both my parents love me.

My family situation is complicated but I have loving guardian(s).

I'm bald/lab escapee/test tube baby/nuance/vanilla extract

Got to the base in Driftveil, and was Immediately told to go back and enjoy the festival as soon as I walked in cmxnsbb

[wicks-end]

Festival was alright! A bit loud and bright for me, and more people than I've been around at once in years, but it was good I think. And my Pokémon had fun seeing the decorations and eating snacks, so that was definitely good :D

Nimbasa is somehow even busier than usual today, I forgot that the festival is today cjxbvs

Still don't know if I want to check it out later or not, we'll see o7

Saw the Emolga again today :], though she thankfully didn't decide to drop on my head to say hi this time cknxhsj
