#meme day.

[punisheye]

Pick a Pokémon team for your muse.

Silvally: Its trust in its partner is what awakens it. This Pokémon is capable of changing its type, a flexibility that is well displayed in battle.

Drampa: It appears in towns and plays with the children. Drampa will protect kids when they're in danger, so their moms don't have to worry. / If a child it has made friends with is bullied, Drampa will find the bully's house and burn it to the ground. / It has a compassionate personality, but if it is angered, it completely destroys its surroundings with its intense breath.

Mabosstiff: Mabosstiff loves playing with children. Though usually gentle, it takes on an intimidating look when protecting its family.

Kangaskhan: They are known to raise other species of Pokémon alongside their own children, and records exist which describe a childless Kangaskhan raising a lost human child. Regardless of how badly injured it becomes, the mother will not cease fighting until its young is safe.

Pangoro: From the slight twitches of its bamboo leaf, it deduces its opponent's movements. It's eager to tussle but kindhearted toward its companions.

Lycanroc (Dusk): This form of Lycanroc is normally calm and quiet. Once a battle begins, however, this Pokémon displays a ferocious fighting spirit.

“eavesdrop”

"He hired me on the spot, I swear to ya and if I swear to ya I wouldn't lie to ya because I'd only do that if I'm lying to ya, truthfully. He said 'Atlas, you remind me of me when I was your age but you're more interesting looking and American and a real go-getter. I need you to work for me, the hotel just won't run without you, mate.'"

By then, Atlas was trying on a British accent for size and executing it badly as he spun a yarn on FaceTime on the phone to Marisol who worked at the Super 8 motel in Orlando. He had been intending to tell his mother his good news, but it was clear from the fourth attempt at calling and the vaguely familiar receptionist who had her phone that that it was anyone's guess when he would actually be able to speak to her.

"Jasper Morgan, you do know who I'm talking about. He was in Tyrant!"

There's a pause before Marisol catches up, able to put a face to the name he kept talking about. Once they're on the same page, he continues.

"Anyway, like I was saying. I almost didn't take it because I've been beating away job offers left and right. Everyone wants a bit of Atlas but there's only one Atlas to go around, that's the problem."

He glances around fast like his sister might appear and correct him on the fact his many offers were more like one-point-five, but he realises fast that was an unfounded worry.

( She was off working her actual job. )

"Wicked cool guy though, probably should have been James Bond at some point. His favorite song is my song, did you know that? I suppose you wouldn't know that, would you. But now you do. It's At Last by Etta James, the one that sounds like she's saying Atlaaaasssss. That's a stroke of luck, isn't it? He definitely could have got me tasered by hotel security but he didn't. That was real nice of him."

When the receptionist insists that she has to go, Atlas almost knocks his phone off coffee table it was propped up on against his half-drank beer so he could talk hands free.

"Okay, I won't keep you but when you see my mom will you tell her what I told you exactly like I told you? Jasper Morgan. Atlas. Job. And that I'm really great and she should call me."

He knows none of those things singularly or combined were bait enough for the wiley woman who had birthed him, so he threw in what he knew would cinch the deal.

"And tell her that when I get paid I'll send her some money. If she calls me. Alright, thanks, thanks. Look after yourself, Mar. Bye, bye, byebyebye."

[santiagodeleons]

👀 + who's your favorite employee?

"I can't choose one, that's like choosing between children. They all bring something different and I know that the nature of this business means they won't be here forever, probably not even for long but it's nice to have them and all their little eccentricities around while they are."

👀 + top five most bang'able people in Aurora Bay

“I don’t like ranking people, that’s really not cool. But since I gotta be honest, and this isn’t in order, because I’m not pitting you guys against each other - wait. I’ll do it alphabetically, because there’s a rhyme and a reason, but it’s not about preference.

So, Angel, Dallas, Stevie are three. Can I say Atticus? I mean, could be awkward. Whatever! Angel, Atti, Dallas, Stevie… and one more?

Why.

Fine. I can’t say some people because they’re sweet, and it just feels wrong saying ‘bang’able’. Because there’s Priya, but we’re long term best friends, same with Hunter, and Emerson is just, really soft and sweet, and, shit. Edie’s pretty too, but I also get sad thinking about her. Ravi could’ve made the list, but there’s a story there. I’m stressed out.

It pains me to say this, but Nora, probably.”

「 GET TO KNOW YOUR RP PARTNER! 」 ( repost, please don’t reblog )

「BASICS」

▐ NAME: Xav ▐ PRONOUNS: he/him, she/her or xey/xem ▐ SEXUALITY: women......... ▐ TAKEN OR SINGLE: single! ▐ FIVE FACTS:

I've been teaching myself Japanese since I was 15 years old and speak it at a conversational (though not fluent) level

I have a cat named Cinnamon who I love with my whole heart

I've been playing Splatoon since the second Splatfest to ever happen in North America, Roller Coasters vs. Water Slides, and since I'm still here I think it's safe to say the squids are never letting me go--

I own a Peppa Pig blanket because I won it at a con lmao

one time, I ordered pastries from a store in Japanese while in France. I don't speak French, and the women at the counter didn't speak English, but it turned out we still had a common language! (and this is why I'm very much pro learning whatever language you want. it usually comes in handy when you least expect it!)

「EXPERIENCE」

▐ HOW LONG (YEARS/MONTHS): a little over a decade I think? ▐ PLATFORMS USED: too many. I used to rp a lot on Skype back in the day, if that says anything ▐ BEST EXPERIENCE: honestly, being here in isola! I've always found tumblr a comfortable platform to write on, but a lot of the indie rp scenes on tumblr can be... I'll say odd and leave it at that dsfgdsgd. I really love the myriad of unexpected relationships that pop up in mfrp, and I've enjoyed being part of this community a lot!

「MUSE PREFERENCES」

▐ MALE/FEMALE/OTHER: female, but to be fair. I think that's just what happens when two of your biggest fandoms are Touhou and Splatoon lol ▐ FAVORITE FACECLAIM: you may have noticed from the way I didn't use an icon that I still don't have one. oops ▐ FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: hurt/comfort my beloved!!!! ▐ PLOTS OR MEMES: both! I have a lot of fun throwing memes at people, and it's even more fun when it gets to turn into a whole thread, but I also like sitting down to actually plot and plan something out. ▐ LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: I tend to end up making things longer than I meant to honestly ^^;; I try to keep it short, but I have a lot to say most of the time! ▐ BEST TIME TO WRITE: usually at night for me, but I'm pretty sporadic honestly ▐ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: to a degree! I find it hard to write characters who aren't at least a little like me, but they're plenty different from me, too.

🍻 + “ have you ever considered running away ?” (nora)

They're where they're not supposed to be, which is typically on brand for the pair. Shit, if Aiden and Nora ever kept themselves in line with their noses clean, the Hell is probably freezing over. It's one of the many things he can appreciate about her. Kicking it back at the junkyard after volatile destruction has been had, or climbing the fire escapes of the downtown buildings to camp out on the rooftops.

His legs dangle over the edge and sway slightly to and fro, and the bottle of whiskey between them doesn’t go untouched. Aiden’s hand is on the neck, and he swallows a mouthful.

It burns the back of his throat all the way down where it warmly settles in his stomach, but it’s not an unfamiliar feeling. He takes another swig, half the size of the first, and puts the bottle back between them. “Who hasn't?” He shrugs, meeting her eyes with a knowing look.

And okay, New York wasn't her running away, but it was an escape from Aurora Bay.

"Small towns suck balls, it's boring and there's too many shiny too-nice sweethearts too worried about their image in this town who think they piss perfume and shit roses." But it's not the residents that get on his nerves.

Okay, they do, but the real reason for considering it is, "My mom's never home. She leaves me money, she hired Cricket to cook meals for me - which, cool, fine, I got a real good friend out of that-" he pauses, and in his drunken thought process, pulls out his phone to text Cricket:

[ are you friends with me bc my mom paid you to be? ]

"But she doesn't care what I'm up to. Or about me. My house always feels empty. And dad's dead, so unless I want to camp in the cemetery..." He wraps his fingers around the neck of the bottle to take another swig, one almost too big so he has to wipe his mouth with the back of his free hand.

"But I can't leave. I got Cricket and she's giving me a purpose, and Nikki's grown on me so much, I don't know how she did it, and Mack? He's practically family, and not because he thinks my mom is hot and calls me 'son'." Mack is what Aiden thinks having a brother is like.

"And I got you."

Aiden passes the bottle to Nora.

"My ride or die. I took one, so now you."

[vanessagable]

be honest...are you taking your husband's last name?

"When I got married when I was eighteen changing my name seemed like a big, daunting thing that just seemed silly to do at the time. I was still me -- I didn't need to take Lee's last name. But it's different with X -- it's something that I actively wanted to do from the moment he said he was gonna propose to me. I'll still go by my maiden name professionally, but it's something I want to share with him and have be a part of both of us. There's nothing in the world more intimate than your name and we're an all-in kind of couple. Plus, saying Mrs. Matthews is just fun as hell and he's definitely going to run it into the ground as much as he humanly can." @xaviermattthews

[shilohsharma]

be honest...do you have a crush on Mack?

"Well, I'd like to make it very much clear that I am gay. But I think I thought I did at one point in life but that was before I fucked him. A lot of things became clear to me after that. Very much a platonic soulmate, though." @mackmontgomery

[presleyfarrow]

be honest...what is going on with you and Reggie?

"Nothing. Why? What did he tell you?" @reggiellewellyn

[maviscampbell]

be honest...why didn't you look for cricket sooner?

"Honestly? I didn't want to. For a long time. That sounds bad. It is bad. But just stay with me a second.

When I left, I was angry at...everything. At our mom, mostly, but at Cricket too. I'd spent eleven years doing our mom's job for her. I'd go to school and steal other kids' milk so that I could bring it back for Cricket, because sometimes mom would forget to leave money when she disappeared for a few days, and then I'd go back to the van and try to do my homework while getting Cricket to calm down for a nap. I started shoplifting when I was six years old because we needed diapers or formula or meds. If Cricket got sick, I was the one taking care of her. I was the one who had to figure out what to tell her when mom started leaving for longer and longer stretches. When CPS found us, I was the one trying to lie to the cops and getting dragged away from Cricket kicking and fucking screaming.

And I did all of that stuff because I loved her. I wanted to care for her, protect her, whatever. But then I was sixteen, and I didn't feel like a real person. I felt so...old, but I wasn't real, I was...growing through her. By the time I left, I was more Cricket's sister than Libby's daughter, but that's all I was. And I resented both of them for that.

I was just so fucking tired after spending so much of my life playing mother. I didn't want to do it anymore."

"So when I left without her, I was relieved. I was so relieved. I was so angry at our mom, but I think I blamed Cricket, too. And I wanted to be selfish. I figured I deserved to be, after everything. I found Oli and went to Chicago and I could finally be a real person. Maybe the worst part of me felt like I'd...won.

By the time I realized that none of it was Cricket's fault, and that I just had all of that anger and I needed to put it somewhere, I felt so guilty and then I just...got it into my head that I was too late. It was really easy to lie to myself about that for a long time. Easier than thinking that maybe I'd made a mistake."

06. the lovers : how important are relationships to your muse ? do they value having a significant other ?

"They're pretty important, I don't think you got much if you ain't got people around you that you care for and that care for you."

"I wouldn't have a significant other if I didn't value them, which is why it's been a minute since I've been in an actual relationship or wanted to be. I've had a lot of changes in my life since I moved here and even more to work on about myself. I'm not sure I always get the balance right, but I do want to try to and right now there's only one person that feels significant like that." @thewrenxharlow

describe your character using shitty negative ebay reviews.

[atlasnolan]

What is your muse's relationship with their sibling/s (can be biological, adoptive, found family or otherwise)?

“There’s no doubt in my mind that Scottie would kill for me. There’s some doubt in my mind that if I was killed she wouldn’t be top of the suspect list.”

“Scottie speaks my language in a way only someone who grew up how we did could and I rely on her to understand me when no one else does. Including when I don’t understand myself. That’s a lot to ask of a person but I still do. It makes me a bit like our mom in that sense, I suppose. And I think that makes Scottie really fucking sad sometimes. She reminds me of home and I think I remind her that we never had a good one.”

“That’s probably why we fight as much as we get along, but I wouldn’t change it or her. She’s the only good thing our mom ever did, just wish I could make them both see that.” @scottienolan

eavesdrop for our tess & santi x

"You're a smart man. A well-read man. A math man, wasn't it?"

Santiago's trying to ease the blow he knows he has to deal, but he couldn't help but hear how the last could have been misconstrued for mothman -- which wouldn't have been entirely off given how hard the teacher sat on the other side of the bar to him had fallen victim to male pattern balding.

"And Tess, she's a lady through and through, she's not going to be as direct as I think you need to hear it so that means here we are again and I'll just have to do it for her," His palms press to his side of the bar, trying to keep his voice low so he didn't embarrass her colleague anymore than he had managed to already embarrass himself that evening.

"You've got to give this up. She's not interested. I don't know how to be nicer about. that, but it is what it is. She's not going to be interested. She's not playing hard or looking to be chased. So you coming in here trying to catch her when she's just trying to enjoy a quiet drink, all this asking me and my staff if she's been in when she's not here, it's too much. It's getting hard to watch at this point. You're wasting your time."

Even if the man's shoulders hadn't sagged at his words, Santiago knows they were hard to hear by virtue of what he was relaying, but that didn't negate their necessity.

( If someone had been as brutally honest with him about trying to make something doomed work it might have saved him the last year of his life -- and the thirteen that came before it. )

"I'm going to get you another drink and I'll leave you in peace with it, same way she's looking for when she's in here, and we'll have no more of this after tonight, yeah? Not in my pub. There won't be any having this conversation twice because you won't be welcome in here to have it if this keeps on."

💞 REVOLVING HEARTS — who and/or what are you most grateful for in your life?

"Okay, you can never tell them I said this, but somehow I managed to adopt these three little fucking assholes and I like them more than I'll ever admit to 'em. Uly takes a year off my life every time he opens his goddamn mouth, Edie's a smartass, and Aiden...if you'd told me when I rolled into this town that I'd care this much about a ratty little rich kid from the Drive, I would've laughed in your fucking face. But I... love 'em, I guess. Sometimes it gets hard to tell the years apart from each other, but watching them grow up has given everything some...center. Meaning, kinda." "Ew. Gross, gross. That was disgusting. Forget I said any of that."
