Starting this side blog off with a bang, here's some previews of some fics I'm working on. Who knows if they'll ever be published! I certainly don't.

Fic one:

Mike narrows his eyes as continues to watch the camera footage, his chin nestled in the crook of his hand. He watches as the trespasser fidgets with a book, as if they're trying to read but they can't take in any of the words. Like when you read an entire page and realize you were zoned out for most of it so you have to go back and read it again. This person broke into a building to read a book? That's really fucking ballsy. He wants to confront this person (because that's, you know, one of his number one job duties) but he can't help but think about the last time he ‘confronted a criminal’ at a security gig. His eyes drift over to the dust-covered intercom to the side of the monitors which has gone unused for the entirety of his tenure at Freddy's (and probably for the past few decades, too). He would say that there's absolutely no shot that it still works, but, then again, the owner of this place tends to place a weird amount of care in keeping things functional. He knows how to use a modern intercom (he used to be in charge of announcements over the intercom at an aquarium he worked at once—his boss thought he had a great radio voice, or something. That was until he flubbed one of this lines, accidentally saying ‘testicles’ instead of ‘tentacles’... Yeah, he wasn't on announcement duty anymore from then on), but he has no idea how an intercom from the eighties would work. It should be pretty intuitive, he figures.

Fic two:

"You act like you think I care about you," you say, rolling your eyes. "I don't think that. In fact, I want nothing less than for you to care about me," he mutters, voice suddenly growing colder, his previous playfulness dissipating. "And why is that?" You ask, eyes meeting his. "Because I don't care about you. I don't want my apathy to be unreciprocated." You nod, a quick breath leaving your nose. "Gotcha." "You know," he shrugs, leaning back in his chair and kicking his feet up on his desk, "you should probably stop worrying about me as much as you do. Between the two of us, do you really think I'm the one who's most likely to have a bounty on their head? You're the one who does all the killing." You glare at him. "Well that's a real fucking comforting thought, but I assure you that I don't have to worry about myself. Nobody stands a chance against me." He sighs, resigning to your stubbornness. "Fine. Just remember that you can never be too careful."

Fic three:

I'm the one who first notices it— no, wait, I think he notices first. He can be a bit of a baby at times and he gets all dramatic over the turbulence. He's the first to say ‘something seems wrong’, but because Derek is Derek, it sounds something more like: "What the fuck is up with this damn thing? It's shaking like a goddamn druggie going through withdrawal. Hold on... Look at that. Look at the fuckin'... System... Thing." Error: server maintenance. "The hell does that mean?" "It's like when you can't play a video game because they have to do something with the server," I respond, taking a closer look. "That's a lot of error signs. How do we fix whatever's going on?" "Fuck if I know. I'm not an engineer." "I don't want to touch anything and make it worse." He gets up, standing next to me and gazing at the ever-increasing amount of error messages on the screen. Error: unable to connect to server. "What, so we can't use Bluetooth anymore? 'Least I don't have to hear your damn music anymore," I mutter. Error: piloting system down. "Oh, that sounds bad—" Error: controls disabled. "Controls disabled? Wait, does that mean—" Error: engine disabled. "Engine disabled? Holy shit— Derek! We're crashing!" Derek's head whips around, immediately locking eyes with me. Pure panic. He lurches forward, grabbing hold of my shoulders and—

not to be intrusive but are you like. Alive?? I hope so,,,

Omg not intrusive at all friend! Thank you for your concern

I am alive. Immortalized. I'm on hiatus again i guess due to a shift in hyperfocus(but pokemon is forever lbr i'm not ever leaving this fandom i've been into pokemon since i was 3, i'll always be back and now that i hav a community to go back to? Icm all about it.) and things irl being like. Real shit and complicated and out of my control. Sufficr to say i've just been doing poorly irl and as a result few parts of my brain are cooperative with even fun things i wanna do.

I wanna be here. I wanna write and roleplag and hang out and talk to everyone and my kuses do too but things are just a fucking mess that's all. I'm in a bad way. Even socializing even with my friends(hardcore apologies to @the-real-ghetsis whose main i can't @ for some reason--i've been neglecting them an utter fuckton lately and i'm sorry, i know how anxious that makes you feel, i'm not mad at you and icm not doing it on purpose, i just.can't properly exist right now.) is just. Not happening lately. Also i've been obsessed with otome games recently so there's that annoying and expensive distraction for my shit impule ckntrol.

But. Yeah i'm alive. I'm sorry for worrying you. I'm just in a real bad way and i'm even lower in limbo and closer to hell than i have been the past. Idk year+.

But i'm alive. Just. . . . . .bleh. to say the least.

Thank you for worrying about me. I'm sorry for being a ckncern like this.

(if ever you're worried about me, you can see when the last time i've updated my twitter is--you can also check my main, @danieyells , but since there's a queue running there all the time it may be harder to see if i've posted things recently. Of course, messaging me here is good too! And probably makes it much easier for more people to see lol)

((This is a chill ass reminder that you're allowed to like, reblog, or otherwise interact with any of the posts that I make on my blogs--and with the blog and the character in general!--as long as those posts aren't threads/interactions with other roleplay characters, whether you're an rper or not!

If I make a headcanon post or a worldbuildig post or a drabble and you like it? By all means, like it! Reblog it! Reply to it!! Send me an ask asking more things! Maybe even bug the muse about it if it's the kind of thing somebody would reasonably know and be able to approach about!

Unless i say in the tags specifically not to reblog something or it's an interaction between my character and somebody else's, if it's sourced to my blog or any of my rp blogs, you're welcome and encouraged to interact with it if you want to.

If you're not sure about something or if something's okay or not, just ask!

But as somebody who often likes to just observe other rpers now and then, even when i'm not participating in an rpc, I know how much fun it can be to sort of associate with a character--ask them questions or give them gifts or bug them or chat at them, present scenarios or ask questions for the writer so they can share headcanons and worldbuilding stuff. And as a mun, a writer, and a member of the fandom in general, I usually like these things, myself! And i like when other people like them enough to share with others!

I know a lot of the rpc at large frowns upon these things for a variety of reasons, but personally i'm unbothered and usually encouraged by the interest of others--muns or not--in what I make or think or have to say.

So! If you wanna reblog a post or send an ask or talk to my muses or anything like that? As long as that post isn't specifically associated with another roleplayer? Please do! And if you're not sure, ask away, or do it anyway and I'll let you know if there's ever a problem! But there probably won't be.

Do be respectful of other rpers--if they don't say they're okay with that kind of thing, please respect that! But for me and for my blogs, liking and reblogging and interacting if you're not an rper is usually welcome.

And, hell, if you're an rper and you agree, you can reblog this post too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ))

Who’s That Mundane!?

(It’s Danie!)

Name: Danie Faceclaim: Eevee Born: 1994 Discord:

Blocking is encouraged if any issues occur!  Communication is more encouraged, as it helps me understand problems and improve. Please remember you are in control of your content and dashboard experiences, especially here on Tumblr! Please tailor your dash and your play to your needs and interests!

I generally don’t follow first. If you’re interested in playing with me, following(or messaging) is encouraged, so I can know you’re okay with my presence!

Please be patient with me. I’m not the fastest RPer, and I follow and interact with a fair amount of people(and have a rather poor memory,) which means that there’s a high chance I miss or forget about things, such as rules, triggers, ages, discomforts, etc. If such a thing occurs, please, please let me know so I can attempt to rectify it! I’ll do my best to remember and to check if I can, but in the heat of the moment things tend to become muddled. Thank you for your patience!

Almost always multiverse, multiship, and semi-selective. Most all blogs hold risk of dark, mature, sexual, or triggering themes(usually more in backstory than anything, but I won’t rule out the risk of main threads having them, albeit tagged.) Always open to asks, scenario asks/rps, certain amounts of rping with anons/non-rpers, and communication in general. Likes slice of life and silly things, but plays other stuff too.

Often writes too much and fails to write things concisely. May often drop or forget about threads or take extended periods of time to answer.  Please bear with me! And please communicate with me if there are any problems or discomforts or concerns!

Like now it just says 'link' and doesn't let you use a custom url for it, you only get to link to a page. . .and if you try an edit an old redirect it's missing the 'url' section. . . . . . . . .))

Danie’s Rules And Blog(s’) Info

I’m pretty agreeable and chill. You probably don’t even have to read this if you’ve got basic knowledge on how to roleplay and can maintain the fiction-reality, ic-ooc walls. I don’t have any special rules or passwords.

If you have any concerns, always always let me know! Disgruntled as I may describe myself, I’m big on communication and openness and honesty. Communication is key! The sword is also a key! And memory! Shame mine is so bad.

The TL;DR of my rules is

‘IC is not OOC, Fiction is not subject to the same restrictions as Reality, characters do not represent the beliefs and feelings of the mun unless stated to be doing so and may act in unacceptable ways

Please communicate with me if there are any problems or comments.

Please control your own content experience as opposed to my content output.

I play my characters how I like, you do the same, no playing each others’ characters.

Blocking, softblocking, and unfollowing is welcome and encouraged if you have want or need of it(but i would appreciate being told why/in advance since it’ll keep me aware. I may try and explain myself, but I don’t mean to try and get you to change your mind unless you seem up to doing so.)

Y’know, regular RP rules. There’s a slightly expanded version of this after this first section.

RP Conduct Information That Applies To All Blogs:

Semi-Selective: I’m not picky but I reserve the right to not play with someone, not play something, associate not with a person or persons, etc.

Non-Mutuals, New RPers Welcome: Sometimes I don’t follow just for the sake of keeping my dash in order or because I don’t wanna follow before I read pages and I’m on mobile. You're welcome to approach for play and plotting at any time! Also if your blogs are on sideblogs, you may need to IM the URLs to me so I can follow! Especially since I'm often on mobile.

OC, Gijinka, Pokémon, [Some] Crossover Friendly: I'm so down to try playing with just about anybody. OCs with default relationships with canon characters(mostly fankids and sexual or romantic partners where it wouldn't make sense to me) I admit I may be a little selective of. Crossovers are welcome, but my knowledge of other series is fairly limited, so it'd likely have to be either Pokémon verse or one of the handful I'm familiar with.

Anons, Non-RPers, and Scenarios Welcome: I love answering questions, even if my muses don’t always. Scenarios/NPC RPs/environment RPs setting stages are always welcome. Magic Anons are allowed but I’ll be selective with them.

Low-Medium Activity, Slow Responses, Dropped Threads: Permanent semi-hiatus, I suppose? There are a lot of factors here, but please bear with me, I’m not the fastest or most focused entity. I never want to drop a tag unless I feel like I can't respond to it somehow, but sometimes things get dropped. Sometimes I or my muse or my focus are more interested in one thread or one character than another, which means you may also be waiting while I’m playing with somebody else because that’s not something I can help. Thank you for being patient!

Multiverse, Multiship, Multiples Welcome: All verses and ships will exist separate from one another unless otherwise agreed on by all parties(and I’m down with that and any possible IC complications that may arise as long as communication/agreement occurs.) Same goes for multiples of muses. I love multiples! Everyone has so many various interpretations, and seeing them is the best. Age-altered characters, gijinka, Pokémon, etc are all allowed in shipping regardless of my muse, but for the most part my muses decide who they like, not me. Your muse may have unplotted feelings for mine--this will not be interpreted as forcing a ship on me! I will probably never be single ship ever. I just can’t limit myself like that. Obvs that doesn’t mean ‘I ship my G and this mun’s H so any interactions between my G and other H’s will be shippy,’ just that I could never commit to a 'I’m the only X you play/ship with’ kind of deal. It’s never in all the years I've been roleplaying been a good sign of anything when somebody is possessive of a partner. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a singleship RP partnership that wasn’t a disaster or abusive relationship(platonic or otherwise) behind the scenes. If you’re an extremely jealous/possessive rp partner and will have a lot of problems with me playing with others we may not be able to play together at all. If you're in such a posessive and restrictive relationship, consider talking it out with your partner. If they won't budge, remember that you have to live for you. Nobody will live your life for you and make the decisins you want, so you need to control your life. No matter what they threaten(which makes them manipulative anyway) you are allowed to leave that partnership. You are not causing trouble by warning others about them. Ultimately let others make their own decisions, never say 'don't play with that person!,' but if you have warnings for others, that's not a bad or inheritely wanky thing. Okay? Okay. ♥ Be safe out there. Communicate! Bottling things up never helps anybody.

Scenario-Sharing Is Okay: See me doing a plot/thread with somebody and also like the idea? If it isn’t something verse specific, I’ll probably be down to try it out with somebody else! Variety is rad!!!

Alternate Universes, Universe Variations, Different Time Periods Are Okay: This includes age-ups! It helps to let me know if we may have different understandings of the world and if it’d come up--for example, I mix canon sources and use "realistic” interpretations that may result in more severity or mature aspects where they might otherwise not be. If you’re more interested in a non-serious setting or have some other variation on the verse, let me know so I can see if I can adapt to it when needed.

No Default Ships, Most All Relationships Open To Pre-Establishment/Alteration/Interpretation: Obviously there are bases, but I have multiple interpretations of my own interpretations. If X is married to Y in one verse, or A is related to B in some verses, that doesn’t make it default unless it’s canon. Loch will always have or have had a period of ‘Master Guzma’ing, Matori will always work for or have had worked for Giovanni/Team Rocket, Ghetsis will. . .probablyalways have had abused his kids, but the degrees or other details can vary. Don’t be afraid to suggest things or ask about preetstablishing something!

LGBTQIA+, Poly, kin, etc Friendly: Honestly, I don’t have to say that, hence why it’s at the end. You be you, just don’t hurt or invalidate anybody or anything like that, y’know?  Of course, in character phobic/anti behavior is allowed with no assumptions on the part of the mun. Shitty as it is IRL, not everybody is good, not everybody is accepting, not everything is happy or neutral or peaceful, so no need to have characters or fictional worlds be that way.

Regular rules are as follows:

No Godmodding. - I play my characters, you play yours, and we write together.

Fiction is not Reality. IC is not OOC. - I do not approve of or stand by all of the actions, words, beliefs, etc of my muses. Fiction is an explorative platform, an outlet of all sorts, and so much more. As a result, there may be expressions of all sorts from all perspectives, most likely IC. I’ll do my best to tag anything on request.

“Mature”, “Dark”, “Triggering”, “Violent”, “NSFW”, “NSFL”, “YMMV”, “YKINMKATO”, Etc Interactions Are Allowed - I don’t really have any triggers I’d bother to note, so just talk at me about it first--some things can just happen naturally ICly and we can try and wing it. But brainstorming’s always good.

Sexual Interactions are For 18+ Muns Only - don’t feel pressured to do them, regardless of who or what you or your muse are if they're not something you wanna do! Smut isn't necessary in RPing and shouldn't be required by any partner(unless that's all you've agreed on/intended to RP,) and there are many, many people who will play with you if you don't write smut. Please don't think it's any different, no matter your age. US law would consider writing smut with a minor as exposing a child to pornography or something--and I'm not gonna get arrested for that if I can help it.

You Are Responsible For Your Own Content Experience - you don’t have to follow me if you don’t want to or find something I post or do regularly uncomfortable. You don’t have to follow me to interact with me. I try and tag everything, but I’m only human (a very desensitized and. . .humor-coping? Lax? human.)

Please Don’t Tell Me What To Do With My Blog Unprompted - of course, if there’s buggy coding; bad links; typos; you need something tagged; or you have a question, lemme know! And if I ask for input/opinions/perspectives, I’d appreciate receiving it! I also always accept concrit! But something like ‘you do this and you should stop’ will not be tolerated. My blog is my blog. I’ll tag things, but I won’t tailor my blog to somebody else’s needs/wants unnecessarily.

Softblock If Unfollowing - this reduces the chance i’ll interact with you if you’re not interested. Maintains the boundaries. Mostly for your sake and to keep me from getting confused lmao

Consider Talking To Me Before Blocking - not necessarily for me to try and convince you out of it or to explain myself(although there’s a 99% chance I’ll do the latter,) but because feedback helps.

Critically Captured (Muselist)

[blah blah blah placeholder header until I actually get off my ass and make one for him]

GruntAdminLoch - Skull Grunt/Admin OC/minor game canon (mixed canon; usually post-game, no Skull dissolution; optional canon postgame, midgame, pregame) INACTIVE

Loch is a Team Skull member of universe-variant and even then sometimes dubious position, having responsibilities like an Admin, but often acknowledged as a grunt.  Loch is based on the formal-speaking Skull Grunt that asks you for passwords before you’re allowed “audience with Master Guzma”. His attitude may seem little out of place in the Skull Gang, but they all have their stories, don’t they. . . .

RocketMatrix - PokeAni exclusive secretary to Giovanni, elite officer of Team Rocket (mixed canon, leaning towards games and manga) LOW ACTIVITY

Matori is something akin to Giovanni’s sidekick in the anime, handling affairs for and beside him, helping him keep things in order at the top of Team Rocket. Employed as his secretary, she’s also the head of her own elite unit, showing his trust in her and her authority over much of the gang. She’s a little cold and always strict and collected when it comes to work, but she can get aggressive in the face of failure from subordinates--to their successes. . .well, nobody should expect much warmth.

OppressiveLiberator - Ghetsis, post-B2W2, [former] Team Plasma leader, Sage (mixed canon; optional Rainbow Rocket and possibly midgame verse?) LOW ACTIVITY

How many years has it been since the fall of Ghetsis and Team Plasma? Truthfully, he can’t remember--in fact, there are a lot of things he can’t remember--a lot of things he misremembers--

There’s still something wrong with his head. The Shadow Triad say he’s not well enough to be a threat anymore, but did anybody truly believe that Ghetsis would ever be held down? His incapacitation was years ago--and he’s had plenty of time to recover from what could be recovered from. . .however, there’s plenty still plaguing him in his fragile state and old age. . . .  Maybe that means he can be healed, redeemed. . .or, perhaps, that he’s more of a nightmare now than ever.

Of course, this muse wouldn’t be satisfied with just living a life of deteriorated mentality, so he’s also available in a more mid-game and Rainbow Rocket variant.  Which one you get. . .well, Ghetsis was never one for a single persona, now was he.
