#From the Mun

[bills-pokedex]

To whom it may concern (Bebe and Cassius):

I'm sure we'll all well aware of the current event surrounding a certain Unovan(?) entrepreneur who stylizes himself as a genius. It is therefore unnecessary to show me news about his latest "innovative endeavors" for the express purpose of "watching [me], an inventor, age about ten years every time."

So to get it out of the way for the thirteenth and hopefully final time:

Yes, I'm aware.

No, I don't know how he got a stainless steel tank, a rocket cobbled together from spare parts, a self-driving car that occasionally ignites into a ball of flames while trapping its driver in thanks to multiple design flaws, or the brain chip past an ethics committee.

Yes, I am "salty" that I made one mistake with one of my inventions, and now I'm constantly scrutinized by the Pokémon Cutting-Edge Technology Research Institute's ethics committee.

No, I do not want the brain chip.

Yes, I want to study the brain chip.

The fifth point is out of morbid curiosity as to how it got past an ethics committee, not respect.

Hopefully, this clears things up.

Best, Bill

{From the Mun:

I found this in the drafts, and I thought it would be hilarious to bring this out and tack on an update post while I'm at it.

But the biggest thing is, I'm . . . actually leaving Tumblr. Now, the main reason for that is my main got super borked up. I've been told by my followers over there it's not shadowbanning, but I'm pretty sure it's random-ass shadowbanning. I cannot receive asks, I can't tag people, I don't have DMs, and I don't show up in notes. As for why, I can't fathom. For the most part, I've kept my nose pretty clean on that account, other than that one time somebody in the writeblr community kinda lost it and tried to use a bunch of random people as a scapegoat for drama reasons. Yeah, idk.

Anyway, the point is, I've submitted a ticket a few months ago and then . . . never heard back. And honestly, for personal reasons, I'm not really inclined on remaking.

Personal reasons being I'm gunning for writing an actual book, as you might know from my last-ish post? Like, non-Pokémon book. Though I'll admit some bits might be familiar to those of you who've hung around the blog for a while. Here's a hint: take powerverse, gender swap it, role swap it, and then stick it into FFXIV and add more steampunk. It's been cooking for the past year you haven't seen me, and I'm aiming to start pitching it to agents by the end of the year. If you'd like to follow along, if you're also a writer who would like to make more writing friends, or if you just like my writing for some reason and want to keep up with me, you can find me at jaxwolffwrites on both Bluesky and Twitter. Bsky moreso, but you'll get progress on this project on either of those other platforms.

Now, I will say this: just to be fair, I'm doing three things:

Closing the askbox. Admittedly, if you've been sending me asks for the past three months, I haven't seen them anyway. Sooooo I probably should've done that ages ago. Sorry about that.

Answering any ask I've saved to the drafts. Any ask. Please note that I don't know if the borking I've described above extends to this blog as well, so Bill won't be replying to replies or reblogs/tags. Apologies for that in advance. There are 49 posts in the drafts, and these will come out fairly slowly as I continue to keep up with my writing schedule on the other project.

Leaving this blog up as an archive. Assuming Tumblr doesn't nuke the main and the backup account that was created in an effort to avoid total nuking, and assuming Tumblr doesn't nuke this blog itself, I really want to leave this up so you can enjoy this pretty much forever onward. You all are the reason why this blog has gone on for so long, and I want to preserve this blog as a thank you for following me for so long.

So yes, after I clear the drafts, you'll likely see one last farewell from Bill and Lanette, and then that will be that. To everyone who's followed, thank you so much for following and supporting this blog over the years. As many ups and downs as running this had, I still look back on every moment as one fun adventure.

So thank you, and take care.}

The Kushina parallel works best for Gaara, you say? 👀 I'm genuinely interested. Please?

((IM GETTING TO THIS SO LATE IM SORRY!! Been so wildly busy this month. But yes the kushina to Gaara comparisons are always swirling around my head.

Before kushina met Minato she was a lonely, volatile jinchuuriki because she lacked love, family and social connection. The anime even shows that she starts becoming a bit bitter and violent because of this. She's alone and the Konoha government doesn't seem concerned with helping her, simply using her as a vessel for the nine tails and leaving her be.

Sound familiar? Basically - red haired jinchuuriki is saved and redeemed by blond sunshine who saves her. Even how Minato ran after her while she was kidnapped is parallel to how Naruto runs after Gaara during the Kazekage rescue mission arc.

But more than that I think the emotional healing is the most similar here. Naruto/Minato healed both their troubled redheads souls by simply being kind and themselves. Minato saw she was hurting and was the one person who ran after her after noticing she was missing. Same with Naruto connecting with Gaara. Naruto saving Gaara was just as romantic tbh.

Have to go to work!! Will write more later and more in depth!))

Encouraging your followers to bully over a joke that Tech makes in the show? I promise that’s not the flex you think it is

Also, the fact that you and none of the other rp blogs have spoken out or called for a stop while quietly deleting the posts from your page speaks volumes about your integrity.

This is the mun. Let's get a few things straight, shall we?

First of all, I have encouraged nothing. My response to the statement that started this whole thing was to let followers respond about the "handsome" thing. That's it. I am not responsible for what people write, nor am I a form of damage control when someone writes something inflammatory and then it gets out of hand.

Secondly, what makes you think nothing has been done? Just because you don't see a big public response doesn't mean that the situation is not being monitored or addressed. Measures have been taken.

Thirdly, I haven't deleted anything from my page. Nor have I added to it. I will not add fuel to this fire.

Myself and the other rp bloggers have families, lives, and responsibilities outside these blogs. Remember that the next time you are tempted to write an ask like this one, and remind yourself that integrity goes both ways.

Help needed! I love Em and she’s not going anywhere but I’ve come to the conclusion that a multi muse blog here is the way to go. But what do I call this page? It would stay here, and I hope you’d all still play with us. I’d like to come back and I think this is the way. Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Life Update from Mun

Hi everyone (or to those still following me), I’m sort of back, but not really as I’ve been busy with my final year in uni, and assignments have been taking my time. Hopefully I’ll be able to do light RPs very soon, but in the mean time, I’ll just reblog and observe for a bit. <3

OoC: Thank you!

Hi all! I have received some inbox love recently and I just wanted to say that I hoard those things and rarely respond to them directly. When I have a low day, I like to look at those messages as a little boost in defense against compounding negative thoughts. I wanted to make sure to acknowledge them, though. Thank you all who have sent nice things! <3

[bills-pokedex]

{Admittedly, I didn't have the energy to plan out a cute scene involving Bill and Lanette because my two idiot children in an original novel recently took over all my energy for gremlin-minder shipfics, but by all means, feel free to drop into the inbox because you know what day it is. 8)}

[gaarascrolls]

((I really could write entire essays about this scene?? The one where Naruto runs into itachi and he puts Naruto in a genjutsu and he sees Sasuke threatening to kill him while Gaara is just accusing him of having an easier life than him.

Like...it explains Naruto's specific guilts/pains regarding both Sasuke and Gaara so well. For Sasuke he feels the threats but it's also like, the terror of someone you care about really being out to get you and trying their damnedest to become your enemy.

And for Gaara it's extra interesting because Naruto sees a lot of himself in Gaara, but he sees that Gaara went through more plain heartache and he feels so guilty for not being alone as long as Gaara has. Throughout this entire arc he keeps asking 'why is it always Gaara?' like he feels so guilty and sad that gaara's life has just been a trainwreck of shit one after another. But like...naruto bby...

....your life has been a trainwreck as well, and he has to know that Gaara doesn't think anything like that.

No one ever talks about this scene like this would totally fuck someone up. Poor Naruto.

Honestly, narusasugaa were all STRUGGLIN during this arc. Gaara was actively being murdered, Naruto was losing his mind and Sasuke was stuck with a pervert who wanted his body. Save my favorite throuple pls just let them snuggle and be ok.
