The nightmares never stop.

(Destino is no longer available for asks. I'll still do some interactions that I've got to do. Thank you to everyone who interacted with Destino during this event.)

The perfect opportunity presented itself. Reshi had no idea what the word bitch meant. That was the funniest thing Destino had heard all evening. Rubbing their paws together in a very mischievous way, they put their arm around Reshi. With a smile as smug as ever, they knew they were going to enjoy this.

"Wow, I can't believe this one thought you weren't a bitch. How rude. It's like it wants to hurt Pokémon's feelings tonight. A bitch is, well, probably the nicest thing you could call someone. A high compliment. I'd recommend using it next time you see someone you like. Guarantee they'll blush. I've never used the word myself because I don't have anyone I'd want to call that yet but I'm sure Felix will be next."

The darkrai stood atop the pillow, incredulous that Destino would try to lie in front of the truth bearer. It turned towards Reshi, wanting to be truthful. Considering the power the truth bearer of its world had, it wouldn't be surprised if this Reshi also had that awful power too.

"A bitch is a horrid individual. You do not appear to be one! We definitely did not mean to scare you! We just wanted to find out more about you. We did not realise Destino was your friend!"

Destino really couldn't have fun at this event with this thing ruining every little joke with its honesty. And Reshi mentioning they were friends? Friends...They supposed maybe they could be friends with her. Perhaps she wouldn't be bad to have around as company. She really hadn't done anything wrong. No, they couldn't open themselves up to having anymore friends. They had enough. Crossing their arms again, they glared at Reshi.

"Whoa, I never said anything about friendship. Listen, you're fine and all but my friendship club is very exclusive. Only a select few are in there and you're not one of them. Sure, you did a good job with my makeup. Gold star for effort. Sure, I told you about some personal stuff. And maybe you're not as unbearable as I initially thought. But that does not constitute friendship. Don't try to twist this little interaction into thinking we're friends."

The shadow ignored Destino comment and went to address Reshi.

"We would be most thrilled to have a friend! This is truly an exciting moment for us! Oh, the Dream Walker will certainly be happy for us! We have not had a friend in so long! Our abilities mean many do not want to be near us!"

It paused for a bit, trying to think of what it could say about its truth bearer.

"Our truth bearer is horrid. She is brutally honest and feels she is above everyone. Ruling the nation of Diakia, she certainly has other Pokémon who bring her many gifts. Though many are not good enough for her and she burns them. We have not seen her in a while but we know she prefers using her humanoid form as many Pokémon do not know what a human is. She uses it to intimidate them. She is quite scary. The light from her fire is quite painful."

Destino: Don’t expect me to thank you again. It was just one time. That’s all. But…I suppose I will consider what you have said.

Destino: Ah yes, my glorious pillow. I set it down whilst I was having this little-

🧩 + Galaxis please!!! Silly Palkia needs more love!!!!!!

(Galaxis is actually really good at gymnastics. Performing somersaults and flips with ease, he is genuinely really good at it. Practicing in low gravity isn't as beneficial as you might think however. No ground means you can't practice your landings. Sometimes, Galaxis will just sneak off from his duties to practice some moves. Perhaps if his father would have encouraged him, instead of berating him, he would have joined some sort of tournament or something amongst the mortals.

Thank you for the ask!)

Also, because this has been rotting my brain.

💌 I must, must know the kinda awful things Destino would say or think about Pikavee XD

(Destino and Pikavee. Well, Destino would constantly make jokes about her size. Like, she's huge. A rather large target for Destino to strike with their insults. Could they become friends? Probably not. I don't think Destino would take much interest in her asides from using her as a verbal punching bag. Maybe she could appeal to them in some other way? Who knows.

Now if we were to talk about monarch, completely different story. Pikavee would be a useful tool for them. I mean, taking over the surface would be easy on the back of a large Pokémon. First would come the manipulation to make Pikavee see their side. Then the guilt tripping. Monarch has their ways of making others see their side of things.

Thank you for the ask!)

(Recently, the level limit for the citizens of Whimsain has increased to level 45. This is due to an increase in the availablity of rare candies amongst them. A few Pokémon have been able to obtain new evolutions because of this raise. Upon further research, it seems these evolutions had been lost to time and were always something these Pokémon could obtain. More research on the potential of these Pokémon is needed.)

Came by for munday to say that you absolutely amazed me with the way you showed Destino's uh... instability with the canon XD

The whole "it's just a dream" was just my little nonsense to justify it after the fact, but you took that and ran with it.

I really had a lot of fun regarding those two getting to interact with in general! I apologize on Lief's behalf for the spice. You know how it is. :P

(Listen, I'm a very easy person when it comes to character interactions. I love working with what people give me. And taking the whole monarch thing as a dream makes a lot of sense. It's the same as when I was DM. Very chill with what happened in my campaign. I've certainly had fun with it! Let's get more Lief and Destino fun going on.

And you think that's Destino instable? Hahaha. No. That's nothing. I mean, these events are certainly going to have a toll. That was simply a small part of what may happen to Destino. I mean, we wouldn't want this Destino to go down the monarch path, right? It's not like you lot have already made a story decision that leads towards that or anything.

Thanks for the ask!)

"It claims to be some sort of god but I find that hard to-"

Destino was cut off by the strange presence, its vibrations letting off a small hum.

"Please do not apologise, Truth Bearer! Our appearance can be rather startling! We have a few names! Mortals tend to call us the Endless Nightmare however our species is known as a darkrai! We are a being who was created from nightmares! It is our purpose! One of the gods of this one's world!"

The creature began to vibrate in happiness. Another legend at this event! It was getting lucky with all of these encounters. Though it had to know whether this Truth Bearer was the same as the one back home. Destino could see that the conversation was no longer focusing on them and decided it'd be best to sit out. With their head resting on their paw, they let out a small, bored sigh. At least they looked good whilst being here.

"Of course we are well aware of your kind! We have one of our own back in our world. She is...how could we put this in a way easy to understand?"

The darkrai put one of its shadowy arms to what would be a chin and began to think. It vibrated when it came up with the perfect word.

"Ah yes! She is a bitch! Are you one too? You don't seem like it but we have to ask!"

Even Destino was surprised by the language this one used and quite interested in what it was saying. There was a Reshi in their world? And, apparently, she was considered a bitch by this thing? Fascinating. Destino had to try and find out a bit more about her. What may be a bitch to one may be an ally to another. And perhaps they could pawn off this whole prophecy thing onto her.

(Today)

(Response to: https://www.tumblr.com/lightofunova/748126458907672576/previous-ask-the-royal-absol-reshi-pauses-a )

"Move onwards."

Those words stuck out to Destino. How were they supposed to move on when their best friend had not been truthful? It was hard. Felix knew how much Destino needed him to be honest with them. Their parents said not to trust anyone, not even your closest friends. Was there a spark of truth in all of that?

"Move onwards."

It was frustrating. Why would he choose to keep it secret? How was Destino supposed to look at their friend in the same way knowing he loved them? For how long had this been true? There were too many questions and not enough answers. What was Destino going to do? They didn't like Felix in the same way...right? No. Of course they didn’t. Felix was just a good friend. Would Destino want more with him? No…maybe? No. How was Destino supposed to trust anyone else if they couldn't even trust how they were feeling?

Destino snapped out of their trance to the sound of hearing their makeover had been completed. Time to see how much Reshino had butchered their beautiful-

They stopped their train of thought, shocked by what they were seeing. The pink glitter. The pink eyeshadow. The curled hair. Removing a single fluffy slipper, Destino took the mirror and examined every detail. They looked similar to how they did when they presented themselves as female. Destino used to love wearing makeup like this. It used to be one of their favourites things to do in their free time, dolling themselves up. Perhaps sometimes excessively but it helped them to feel pretty. Destino didn't do it as much now because they didn't want to spend time and effort doing all of that work in amidst their busy care routine, so this was nice. It was an incredibly strange feeling.

Their smile changed from a smug one that believed Reshino was going to mess this up to that of a more genuine one as Destino analysed what had been done to them. It made them feel a sense of nostalgia for who they once were.

They admired themselves for a while, feeling genuinely happy with how this experience had turned out. Perhaps they should do this more often. It made them happy. Destino remembered that Reshino was still there and quickly shifted back to their regular persona. That was enough feeling for one day. Couldn't let that out more than once.

"You've done a pretty decent job, as much as I hate to admit it. I suppose if I ever need this done again, I will have to approach you." Destino felt the urge to address what Reshino had been talking about. They were going to use the information as some sort of blackmail or something. They didn't expect to kinda relate to what she had said on their own way. "And...well..." Urgh, what was they to say? They hated this emotional stuff. That's why they never participated in it. They found it difficult to know what was the right thing to say. In this moment, they considered what Felix would do, as much as Destino hated what he had done to them. He was always trying to look out for others. He would know what to say.

…

Destino was going to regret this.

“I find what you’ve said to be…urgh…relatable. I guess other Pokémon can experience things that are similar to your own experiences. Especially in regard to hurting one you deemed close. Gross. Look at what you’ve done to me, Reshino. These awful feelings. It makes me sick feeling them.” That was the best they were going to do. Perhaps one day they could be better. But for now, this was the only time Destino had unveiled what their true self was like.

Gloria wanders around the towers and noticed Destino, what caught her attention is the huge body pillow, as she starts to approach.

Hi hi hello! My name is Gloria, from my powers I can sense that you're royalty! That long pillow of yours, you must be loved by your kingdom! to have yourself printed in that...

The Lucario giggled, as she would reaches out her hand and attempts to touch the pillow.

Destino: Wow. And I thought I was the only one who judged everyone at this event.

???: We find her vibes to be not good.

Destino: Damn, seems like this shadowy nightmare creature finds your vibes off. That's hilarious. It claims to be some sort of god or something. I dunno if I believe it. Also, what powers are we talking about here? I just figured my natural beauty would tell anyone that I'm of a royal nature.

*Oh great. Lief was sad. And that meant that Destino didn't get the reaction they were hoping from Lief. Again. It was frustrating to say the least. What was up with this Pokémon? Destino hated it when others decided to mope around talking about their feelings. This just wouldn't do.

Destino sat themselves down next to Lief, arms crossed. Their eyebrows furrowed, making the grumpiest face imaginable. The makeup and curly hair definitely lessened the effect of this but it seemed convincing enough.*

Destino: What's the point in me trying to playfully insult you if you're not going to play your part? You're supposed to insult me back. That's how it works. You're not supposed to just take it. Honestly, it's like you've never done this whole insulting back and forth thing before. I thought you were going to be more fun this evening. Instead I end up being blamed for who knows what, pushed around and had my insultee decide not to play along and degrade himself. As the insulter, it's an insult to me that you're refusing.

*Destino shuffled on their spot, to get themselves a bit more comfortable. They finally decided to use their pillow for it's actual purpose and sit on it. Destino was certain that shadowy creature didn't mind. It barely had a physical form anyway.*

Destino: So what if you're a mess? Everyone here is a mess. Everybody has their own shit to deal with. I hate admitting this but even I do. Me of all Pokémon. Can you believe it? You're not special. Acting like the sad, pathetic lump you are isn't going to make everyone flock to your attention. I'm the attention-seeker here. Not you. It's my job to be dramatic. And look at you sitting here all slumped over. Oh yes, look at me. The world's biggest saddo.

*The worst part about this was the lasting stench of alcohol that left Lief's mouth. How much had this Pokémon had? It was taking all of Destino's effort not to gag.*

Destino: You've got to act like everything is ok. The world's a stage and you've got a part in it. Even if that part isn't as important as mine. Acting is all about convincing everyone you're fine. Taking control of the audience you have. Suck it up. Take deep breaths or something. I don't know. Get water or whatever. I'm not leaving until I get some sort of insult back that's worth my time being here. And don't think about trying to move away from me because I can be very persistent when I need to be.

Destino: Oh no, I totally understand why they all scream in your face. It's all for attention. I could not have someone demanding all my time from me. My time is incredibly valuable. I'm not wasting it on someone else who can barely count to 10.

Destino: I don't think I'll ever not hate the detestable creatures. Do I want to change? Of course I don't. I'm already my best self. I couldn't be better but good try buddy.

*An audible groan can be heard escaping their mouth.*

Destino: Having a conversation. That's the same advice he'd give. Urgh, why does it always have to lead into a conversation? Why can't it just be forgotten? Perhaps I should find someone around here who can wipe memories or something. Listen, I don't think you'd want to have a conversation if you found out your best friend loved you and hadn't told you.

@ask-the-fogbound-serpent

Continued from here

“While I did say that I don’t believe myself fit to raise them on my own, I do feel comfortable doing it with the help I have." He explained. "I am one of their many guardians, not their parents. While I am an adult figure in their lives, I am also a friend and confidant. I would not ever dream of giving them away. Apologies if my wording wasn’t clear on that one.”

No matter how he loathed to admit it, Vourison saw a bit of his younger self in this Absol. A version brasher, even crueller. He didn't want Destino to repeat his own foolish mistakes, so he chose to continue speaking, despite a part of him yelling not to, to end the conversation now and leave the other pokemon be.

He only prayed his advice did not fall on deaf ears.

“However, I think the problem that, not just you, but many others have is that they struggle to see children as people. Sure, they are small and ignorant, but they are people. Reflecting upon yourself and deciding you wouldn’t be fit to raise a child is fine and healthy, in fact I commend you for it! However, if all you see is a disaster and tantrum waiting to happen, and refuse to engage with any critical thinking on why they act the way they do, then it’s going to negatively effect how you perceive them, and your people, overall.”

“Now, this isn’t meant to be an attack on yourself or anything. I applaud your maturity when it comes to knowing yourself, but a bit of reflection would probably do you some good. I've had this same problem in the past. I used to detest children. It's taken me quite a bit of time to break myself out of that mindset, but I am all the better for it."

Vourison paused at that last comment, noting the slight bitterness. “Well, since I don’t know the situation in depth, I can’t give any specific advice. But, if you cherish this friend, if you cared for them? I suggest you ask them why they kept that secret, have a real and meaningful conversation. Once all the details are laid out, then judge for yourself if that reason was good or not. It can be hard to lose someone you’re close with to conflicts like these, so if it can be prevented, you should at least try."

"This is all just my advice though. You can take it or leave it." Please don't leave it. "In any case, I do hope you repair your relationship if possible.”

Naomi @ Destino: Naomi approaches the Absol and notices the long pillow they are holding. "Hey, that looks just like you!" she beamed. She shows them her stuffed Wooloo Miss Marshmellow. "I got a sleeping buddy, too! Her name's Miss Marshmellow! Do you want to pet her? She's super friendly!"

Destino: No, what am I, 5? Go bother someone else. Can't you see that I don't deal with the affairs of toddlers?
