[Insert two pictures: one of Elio on the bottom and the upper statue of the Altar of the Sunne. The second picture is of Elio in the fore ground with an open smile and a thumbs up; Hop is turned away in the background on his hands and knees...lookin like he's not having a good time.] ☀️Ayy we made it!! what was that? 3 hours? not bad!

i drew my party’s dwarf barbarian a few months ago! his name is Shrimp Güdfellow and Barovia has NOT been kind to him. still need to draw an updated version… poor guy has lost a lot of things, including both his eyes, but he HAS gained some stuff like an eldritch god cheering him on, a level in warlock, and an unceasing desire for vengeance!!

(yes it’s my fault he’s gone through so much, i love DMing)

Hop; training chosen powers: I'M TIRED OF THIS GRANDPA!

Calem; who let him not do anything for a week due to depression: WELL THATS TOO DAMN BAD!!

OOC Notice!!

[Hello everyone! This is a pretty important notice that I might add to my pinned post.]

[So first things first. This blog is following a plotline. Now what this means right now is that I have Two specific Story Beats, and these beats happen a month apart from each other in-story(which means it might not always follow real time, it could happen quicker or slower)so what this means is that in between Beat 1 & Beat 2, I'm free to do whatever! Whatever mini storyline or just joke rp/asks; I'm all for!]

[However , once we hit Beat 2, this will change, because the way I see it in Beat 1 y'all are interacting with Hop as if he's actually talking to you. And unless I can find ppl to RP with, this blog will souly follow Hop's POV through Kalos, and askers will become more like 3rd person perspectives that 1st; if that makes sense?]

[The Second Notice! Specifically goes out to Legendary rp blogs. And it is just a simple request; that is that I ask you to not interact In Character Until After Beat 2! NOW! What this actually mean is NOT "you can't interact with me >:(" no that's actually ridiculous. What it DOES mean is that, if you are a legendary blog and you try to interact with me In Character. I just won't interact with you Until After Beat 2. Because Hop isn't supposed to be able to see the legends Until After Beat 2!! So I guess this is just me saying if you do try to interact IN Character right now, don't expect and don't be sad if I do not interact.]

[I really hope this doesn't upset anyone/gen. Because I have reasons for why I'm doing this! And I want to interact with folks! But I also want to show off this cool story I've had in my head for like the past year! Idk. If I am genuinely stepping on ppls toes then I'm sorry but I am gonna stand my ground on this, cause this doesn't sound that unreasonable??]

I can't believe I've done all do these except start/join a team.

...wait are chosens a team-

Based on the things I have seen on my dash in the past 9 months of blogging (holy shit) there are approximately 7 significant events that typically happen to people on this site

1. Become friends with/catch a legendary/mythical

2. Gain superpowers

3. Start/join a team, evil or otherwise

4. Undergo abhorrent experiences, leaving a mix of emotional and physical trauma that will likely stay with them for the rest of their lives

5. Romance

6. Commit crimes

7. Save a region

It is my belief that everyone on Rotumblr will likely experience at least one of these events in their days of blogging.

going for walks, hiking

gardening (outdoor, indoor, bonsai care)

puzzles (jigsaw, word, brainteasers like sudoku, etc.)

writing (fiction, poetry, song lyrics, journaling)

reading (too cool for regular books? try comic books or magazines)

drawing, doodling, coloring

mobile games or video games

crafts like knitting, crochet, or embroidery

practicing yoga or martial arts forms

assembling lego or no-glue model kits

2. What’s the relationship between you and your patron like? Do you get along?

For Hop

💫Hm, well... it's kinda hard to explain. I mean me and Zacian have always gotten along (aside from the time some dickwad shoved a wishing star in her- but that's not her fault) But I've always felt... closer? with them? I'm sure most chosens feel that; but after meeting others and seeing how they interact with their own legends/patrons it definitely feels different.

Bah- sorry that's the best i could word it.

[czv-hops-kalos-arc]

Ah- shit where is it-

[Insert a photo of Hop and Elio; Elio has a big smile while Hop has a blank face. Elio looks to be wearing Leon's champion cap^tm, most likely merchandise- while Hop wears a red and white cap-(a limited edition item from Lee's collection)- it's already got a scuff on the bill. Both of them are wearing sunglasses and holding up backwards peace signs]

Like to steal one of Leon's hats. Reblog to steal one of Leon's hats.

WHAT!?!?!?!?! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Related to R's post)

I was really trying to figure out a way to put this and thought I was just going in circles about Piers & Marnie vs Leon & Hop's sibling relationship but!!

I do think that if Marnie were to voice her own (her Actual Own) opinion on what she wants for her future, like. Obviously Piers would listen and be supportive; but Marns wouldn't have to fight with it, ya know? Like they could just be sitting and talking and she could just bring up that she doesn't want to be either a gym leader or champion (in the way R described) but of course she still wants to help spikemuth! And of course Piers would be supportive and prolly crack down on team yell (especially those who could possibly get upset-)

And then there's.. well we all know the Postwick bros issue- WE KNOW WEALLKNOW- 10yo having to raise his baby brother because Father Is Missing- but then that same 10yr becoming the region's superstar and the brothers seeing each other less and less as the years go by (not by choice). He doesn't have a community of premade fans- and yet... he kinda does?? And I'd imagine it gets... bigger, as he goes through the gym challenge. But it's also that he's not doing it to not let anyone (save Lee) down but instead looking for someone to look up to him. to be proud. Just like he was- is with Leon.

I feel like it would be much much harder for Hop to voice his Own opinion of what he wants - but really what else could or should he want? How much higher can you get than Becoming Champion of the Region?

Still gotta name the weird blue deerling, but we’ve been mostly calling him Blue.
