Twilight vs. Life and Death #18
🍏Life and Death🍏
Eventually we made it to Charlie's. He still lived in the small, two-bedroom house that he'd bought with my mother in the early days of their marriage. Those were the only kind of days their marriage had--the early ones. There, parked on the street in front of the house that never changed, was my new--well, new to me--truck. It was a faded red color, with big, curvy fenders and a rounded cab.
  And I loved it. I wasn't really a car guy, so I was kind of surprised by my own reaction. I mean, I didn't even know if it would run, but I could see myself in it. Plus, it was one of those solid iron monsters that never gets damaged--the kind you see at the scene of an accident, paint unscratched, surrounded by the pieces of the foreign car it had destroyed.

Eventually we made it to Charlie's. He still lived in the small, two-bedroom house that he'd bought with my mother in the early days of their marriage. Those were the only kind of days their marriage had--the early ones. There, parked on the street in front of the house that never changed, was my new--well, new to me--truck. It was a faded red color, with big, rounded fenders and a bulbous cab. To my intense surprise, I loved it. I didn't know if it would run, but I could see myself in it. Plus, it was one of those solid iron affairs that never gets damaged--the kind you see at the scene of an accident, paint unscratched, surrounded by the pieces of the foreign car it had destroyed.
First paragraph is pretty solid copypaste. The only changes made here are "with big, rounded fenders and a bulbous cab >> "with big, curvy fenders and a rounded cab". And this? This is exactly the kind of Second Editing Run change I like to see. Bulbous is an awful word that should only be used to describe awful things, and then only sparingly. Good job, Steph. A+ work!
*sigh* I'm really annoyed by how much she feels the need to stress that Beau, despite being a Boy, isn't that into cars. I feel like having two car nuts as brothers really skewed Smeyer's perception of how common minute obsession with European cars is for teenage boys. Every boy at Forks High School, we will find later, seems to be going gaga over Rosalie's M3 and like... idk man, I just... I'm sure they would think it's a sweet ride because it's a convertable, but i just don't think the average American teenage boy is gonna be drooling over anything that isnt like a muscle car or overt stunners like Ferraris or Porsches or Lamborghinis. You know? Like I don't buy that a kid in small town Washington is gonna give a fuck about paddle shifters. If anyone reading this is or knows a teenager in America who's that nuts over a BMW, please let me know because I'm curious.
"Affairs" >> "Monsters" *yawn* Beau is a Boy, next.

➸ request from anon; hii! if you have time and like my request could you do it? thanks!!! my request: mark, lucas and noah being whipped for maeve and protective of her. aksjdkfjsk why do i actually see mark like this lol anyways thanks again!!
➸ note; thank you so much all you incredible people for waiting so long for me to come back. i’ve had a really difficult couple of months as you can imagine so my writing pace has been quite slow, but i am getting back into it! i’m sorry if this isnt the best, but i wanted to get something out because i know everyone has been waiting a long time for me to come back! as always i love and appreciate you all for being so patient and loving <3
➸ word count; 1521 words
➸ lucas; aged 20, noah; aged 18, maeve; aged 16
nct masterlist
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⋆✦⋆ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Mark Lee always wanted to be a girl dad. Ever since you had your first baby, Lucas, and you would discuss having more, Mark would picture having a little girl to spoil. Having sons was still incredible - Lucas and Noah were Mark’s doubles and his chest filled with pride whenever he saw them. Despite this, watching his members spoil and dote over their little girls and made him want one of his own. So when Maeve was born, he felt so complete, as if he had everything he ever wanted. 
‘Everyone’s nice, right?’
‘Everyone’s nice, right?’
‘Everyone’s nice, right?’
‘So far,’ Maeve smiles, twirling her fork around. She’d just started middle school, and Mark was worried sick. He knew how those kids could be, and Maeve was just so nice, an easy target.
‘You’d tell me if they weren’t, wouldn’t you?’ Mark checks, and Maeve rolls her eyes playfully.
‘Yes dad.’
High school was the first time Maeve had been in school with Noah for a while. The Lee siblings, while they did bicker like normal siblings, they liked seeing each other around school and knowing the other was there. Noah was in his final year when Maeve started. While she still had her friends from middle school, it was difficult integrating with the kids from the other middle schools. 
Namely how cliquey everything suddenly was.
‘Hey Maeve.’
Maeve looks up from her notes to see a tall boy looming over her. Her mind fills with questions, who was this boy? How did he know her name? With all of that, she doesn’t form any response, so he presses further.
‘It is Maeve, right? Eunsol said that was your name.’
Maeve notices a gaggle of other boys standing a distance behind him, trying to appear as though they weren’t listening in.
‘Yeah.. I’m Maeve,’ Maeve felt increasingly nervous.
‘I was just wondering if you wanted to go out this weekend? You’re so pretty, and I’ve been trying to get your snap from the other girls but they said you don’t have one.’
‘I don’t…’ Maeve tries so hard to seem polite, ‘I’m sorry.. I don’t know you at all…’
‘Wha- I’m Chanhyung. I’m a senior.’
‘Oh,’ Maeve still has no idea who he is, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t think I can.’
Chanhyung’s eyes widen for a moment, but he quickly regains composure.
‘Ok, uh, fine then.’ And he walks away.
Maeve doesn’t think too much of it for a while.
‘Is it true you rejected Hwang Chanhyung?’ Minji, Maeve’s seat mate in history asks her.
‘What?’ Maeve straightens up in her seat, ‘oh, I wouldn’t say rejected.’
‘Huh? What do you mean? Apparently he asked you out on a date and you turned him down big time. I mean apparently he’s really pissed. No girl has ever turned him down before, especially not a freshman.’
Maeve feels the panic set in, redness crawling up her neck and heat settling in her veins.
‘He didn’t seem pissed at the time-‘
‘Yeah well he is pissed now. I’d maybe watch yourself today.’
Fuck off Minji, Maeve thought just as the school bell blares, prompting everyone in the class to start packing away their belongings.
Maeve speed-walks out of the classroom, keeping her head down and trying to avoid eye contact with anyone else. She stops in front of her locker, hair still forming curtains around her face as she unpacks and packs some things into her bag. Maeve swings her locker door shut, only to reveal Hwang Chanhyung himself.
‘Hey Maeve,’ he grins, singing her name in a sort of taunting tone.
‘Um, sorry, I can’t talk right now,’ Maeve mumbles, trying to turn on her heel, but is stopped when Chanhyung grabs her wrist, whipping her back around.
‘It’ll only take a couple minutes,’ he doesn’t let go, even when Maeve experimentally tries to wiggle out of his grip. 
‘Good,’ he muses when her movements stop, ‘are you ready to say you’re sorry?’
‘What?’ Maeve murmurs in disbelief, ‘I didn’t mean to make you upset, I just don’t know you.. and-and I’m not really looking to date right now, so-‘
‘HEY!’ Maeve jumps about a mile in the air at the sound of another male’s voice booming and echoing through the hallway.
Chanhyung turns his head slowly to look to the source, where he sees Noah Lee storming towards him. 
‘GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF MY SISTER!’
Everyone in the corridor is completely silent now as Noah marches up to Chanhyung, grabbing him by the collar and pinning him to the lockers.
‘Noah, stop,’ Maeve begins to plead, but Noah takes no notice.
‘Oh look, how sweet,’ Chanhyung taunts, ‘Noah come to save little Maeve-‘
‘Leave her the fuck alone,’ Noah seethes, ‘she’s not one of your toys.’
‘I don’t want her to be anyway,’ Chanhyung chuckles darkly, ‘she’s a prude anyway.’
Noah is deadly silent for a moment, eyes darkening before he grabs and slams Chanhyung into the locker, hard. 
‘I’m going to fuck you up,’ Noah threatens, pulling Chanhyung towards him, and then throwing him into another locker on the opposite end of the corridor.
’Noah! Seriously, stop-‘
The small group of onlookers quickly forms into a crowd as Noah begins throwing and landing punches onto Chanhyung’s face, traces of blood appearing on his fists.
‘Noah, it doesn’t matter, just leave it!’ Maeve shrieks, trying to pull at her brothers shoulders but failing.
Chanhyung, on encouragement from his surrounding friends, leaps to his feet and momentarily overpowers Noah, landing a few kicks and punches. Noah quickly retaliates, pinning Chanhyung to the ground, swinging punch after punch to his face.
‘Oh god,’ Maeve holds her head in her hands, already predicting the fallout from this.
Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounds, and the crowd of students swiftly part like the Red Sea. Three teachers march through the gap, screaming and yelling for the two boys to stop. Once they reach them, Noah and Chanhyung are quickly torn apart, arms still swinging and flailing.
‘All of you! Class, now!’
‘Maeve, go,’ Noah mouths, and she complies, turning on her heel and rushing to her third period math lesson. 
-
‘I don’t even know what to say,’ you shake your head in disappointment at Noah, who is sitting on your living room sofa.
‘Why on earth would you just start a fight like that? I didn’t raise you to be.. violent like this.’
‘I’m sorry, mum/mom.’
‘I can’t believe you got yourself suspended. Noah Lee, you better have a good reason for this or I swear-‘
Maeve shakes like a leaf in the corner of her bedroom, listening in at the door. 
’There was no reason, he just pissed me off.’
Maeve sometimes wishes Lucas hadn’t moved out to college. He would have handled this much better.
‘Ok, well, you’re so, very, grounded,’ Maeve hears you say, followed by some thuds and footsteps.
Three knocks sound at Maeve ’s bedroom door, and she jumps about a mile in the air, running back to her bed.
‘Come in!’
‘Hey Maevie,’ Mark pokes his head around the door, ‘are you okay?’
‘Yeah,’ Maeve lies, ‘just tired.’
Mark sits himself down at the bottom of Maeve’s bed, sighing deeply to himself.
‘I don’t know what’s gotten into your brother,’ he shakes his head, ‘you know he punched this kid in the face!’
‘Yeah, I heard-‘
‘God knows why he even did that, I mean-‘
‘It’s because he was harassing me.’
Mark goes silent, looking at Maeve incredulously.
‘Who?’
‘The boy Noah punched… Chanhyung. A couple of days ago he asked me out and I said no, but earlier today he came up to me and was all pissed off, and then he tried to touch me, and Noah saw so-‘
‘Fucking bastard,’ Mark seethes, fists suddenly clenched tight, ‘I’ll kill him.’
‘Dad,’ Maeve begins, but is cut off by Mark. 
‘Let me get Noah.’
Two minutes later, Mark and Noah are sitting across from Maeve on her bed.
‘Noah, thank you for protecting your sister,’ Mark murmurs, taking his sons hand in his own, and clapping his other hand around it, ‘why didn’t you just say?’
‘It was worth getting in trouble for Maeve,’ he shrugs, ‘I didn’t think she needed to be reminded of what she’d just gone through.’
‘Noh,’ Maeve sighs, ‘I’m sorry you felt like you had to do that for me.’
‘Mae, you’re my little sister,’ Noah sighs, ‘it’s basically my job to protect you and and beat the shit out of anyone who disrespects you like that bastard did.’
‘It’s the same for me, being your dad. Although maybe violence isn’t the best resort,’ Mark side-eyes Noah, ’I would have done the same.’
‘Dad-‘
‘Now, what’s this Chanhyung’s full name?’

Portwell is so enjoyable to watch.
return of the bro
ej go get your girl dont worry about her brother please
SOMEONE TOUCHED THE PROPS
all hands on deck
“Can you just jump off something high”
I seem to remember Ricky falling from something high last episode, is that correct? 
She tells this to one of her most UNSTABLE kids
Oh shit
Miss. Jenn
Wtf
like what the actually hell
look at the kids faces they’re heartbroken
Miss. Jenn why. You’re stressed about the show, but you’re not performing it. They are. They have to worry about lines and cues and pitches, not you. Miss. Jenn has literally gone at the kids this season. Opening night speech too Ash and Ricky, shutting Seb down, that comment. She has become obsessed with the Menkies and North High. It has gotten really bad. These kids have put everything into this show, even their relationships (both platonic and romantic) and that is how you repay them? 
I didn’t think they would address this, I lost hope after last week but I am so glad they’re going too.
Someone send Seb after Miss. Jenn please, let him rip into her, he would do very well.
Miss. Jenn is supposed to be the role model and she just told a kid to jump off something high.
nina has been a godsend this episode, props to her!
haven’t been the biggest nini fan this season (off and on for me), but she was very behaved this episode. 
if there is anything the east high kids are good at, it’s bullshitting their way out.
“aim for my face” character growth
I KNEW IT
LILY WHY HOW WHEN WHY 
WTF THEY END THERE I CANNOT WITH CLIFF HANGERS
I liked the episode. Didn’t love it, but liked it. I really wish we got to see more acting, like we didn’t even see Big Red and E.J go on stage. Not even the iconic yellow dress. Some of the drama is so unnecessary, like why Mike and Jenn? What is with the Kourtney and Howie drama the writers insist on having, can’t they just be happy?
Besides the whole harness incident (burn that harness and mask it is causing so many problems) the production went very well, too well. This is East High we’re talking about.
Promo thoughts because what
oo they’re sneaking, maybe Big Red’s thingy
YES ASHLYN GETTING THE LOVE SHE DESERVES
oo Kowie confession?
portwell please be okay
what is up with carlos’ hair?
so seb, miss. jenn, and carlos scene? this has the potential to be very beautiful.
“It’s not over” not this again... 
i’m thinking carlos and seb are going to talk to miss jenn.
Sidenote, if we do not get a good seblos scene I will riot.
Hopefully Miss. Jenn apologizes with a billion sorrys
rini you just broke up please dont get back together 
im scared
if it is a scene where they close the book i will be very happy
Are we getting a flash forward scene? I’m pretty sure Miss. Jenn said Menkies aren’t till two plus weeks after the show.
We know based off the promo pics Ej and Gina are at the cast party, what went wrong?
Wait do we not get to see the finale of the show?
We better see the goddamn transformation
how does lily home and core four song fit in? im more curious about the lily one.
In conclusion, I am not ready for this to be over and the transformation needs to be sent to hell.

okay im gonna just try and write down all my damn pokemon i can remember from every generation fuck fuck i know i could never get ALL OF THEM cos it was at least 100 each gen but i can hopefully remember my main teams??
~ Sun and Moon Team ~
Pulcinella the male Primarina (Egotistical smarmy jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold celebrity boy) Herald the female Mimikyu (nice grandma + amateur newspaper reporter, sends them back to the other ghosts at the thrifty megamart) Charlene the female Golisopod (never really thought of a personality for her? I didnt originally intend to use her but then she was really good and i love golisopod’s design?? so i just named her randomly after charon cos wimpod is kinda shaped like his hair, lol) (i think maybe one of those cowardly characters who’s brave when she needs to protect her friends? like eduardo from foster’s home for imaginary friends) Suspenders the female Lurantis (stoic samurai type, but also very sweet, naive and a little ditsy. easily gullible to pulcinella’s pranks cos she just takes everything seriously with samurai honor.) Ampere the female alolan Raichu (sweet mom friend of the group, makes everyone pancakes and mitigates all the conflicts. you’d think herald would outrank her in mumsiness but she’s more like the eccentric grandma who encourages her kids to misbehave, lol) Sherbet the male Muk (super chipper cuddly little toddler type fella who luv and support he friends) (OH GOD i caught a shiny muk in bw2 and i was gonna say they were cousins and i was so excited to have them finally meet.. aaaa... T_T) (THE COUSIN IS NAMED NOUGAT AND HE IS ALSO A SUPER CHIPPER CUDDLY BABY AND NOW HIS WHOLE FAMILY IS FUCKIN DEAD) (god that gives him a plotline to differentiate him from his alolan version but GEEZ i didnt want it to happen like that...)
and honorary member Neopolitan the Kadabra who was on the team early on but got replaced with Charlene cos when SuMo first came out there was a dumb glitch that prevented kadabra from learning one move in its learnset and it was just STUCK WITH NO ATTACKING MOVES FOR 20 LEVELS GEEZ but neopolitan was still a supportive friend yes possibly personality like that monk robot guy from overwhetch?
also honorary member: that leavanny that my friend Beezah traded me and i spent ages training it up to level 80 to rematch her and i NEVER GOT TO DO IT I think his name might have been cedric?? or some other c name??
~ X and Y Team ~
Didnt really think of personalities for these ones or have any big attatchment to them, except that the game came out on my birthday by some strange coincidence. funny how we’ve gone from that to losing games on my birthday! the xy birthday was like the only time my birthday hasnt been GIANT MISFORTUNE in the last seven years, and the only time i managed to meet up with any irl friends and have some sort of a party. so i guess i’ll remember that fondly about XY even though the story was possibly my least favourite in the series.
Namaqua the male Greninja Jayus the male Aromatisse (named for an OC of mine at the time, who’s also my steam handle!) Dwedd the female Gourgeist (who was actually my most powerful pokemon in sun and moon competitive?? god im gonna miss her now)
and I’m seriously struggling to remember if there were any others :P
~ ORAS Team ~
I played both versions of this so my team was kinda huger? Still not super memorable as a generation, tho. one of the ones im least depressed about but more depressed than xy. but still depressed about all of them. AAAAA
York the female Blaziken Roquefort the female Swampert (a duo! i played with both of them as my starters cos i only played a little bit of alpha sapph before switching to omega rube for the main playthru. i just love tabitha!) (oh and they were named for some of my ocs at the time.) Wesley the male Charizard (actually got him in XY but never used him there) Seraphim the female Salamence (REALLY sad about this one cos she was a gift from my friend Zoe whom i’ve now lost contact with, same one who gave me the birthday party when xy came out, same one who traded me like EIGHTY OTHER POKEMON ACROSS ALL MY GAMES and LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE ONCE and WAS AN AMAZING PERSON) Nick the female Gyarados (also traded from zoe. it was named after her fish who died :< I LET HER DOWNNNNNNNN) Tanka the female Gardevoir (just a shoutout to the one i had back when i first played the original rse as a kid, but lost along the way. it was also my username and the name of like forty different ocs for every fandom i had as a kid? i just thought it was a cool word. its the name of a type of poem i heard in class once) Pascal the female Ludicolo (Only one who i gave any sort of personality to. I kinda liked her so much she was more like my starter? i felt like she was a super chill badass. repurpose all those old chuck norris memes for pascal!) Lockjaw the female Banette and Hex the male Mismagius (actually pokemon i made as ocs for a team galactic fanfic i never wrote. usually i make pokemon ocs based on mons i caught, but these ones i went out and caught them to match the story. spent so long chaining mons to find a story-fitting nature for lockjaw that i stumbled onto a shiny shuppet along the way?? i was like “fuck but that isnt what i asked for, but i’ll take it anyway” XD) (oh and i named the shiny shuppet Chuckie) (oh and lockhjaw and hex were meant to be the rest of charon’s pokemon team to give him enough for a decent boss battle)
~ BW Team ~
Anotehr generation i didnt really enjoy? honestly there was a large gap between sinnoh and sun and moon where none of the main plots grabbed me. i still enjoyed the gameplay and the increased graphics for all the cool areas and stuff, tho! im just a plot lover so SuMo bumped the series back up from “just consistantly good” to “the best game ever” But strangely enough I did get really attatched to these guys, even if i didnt really think up personalities and backstories for all of them
Shogunkora the male Samurott (Back when i was in highschool i drank so much caffeine it was like a running joke i was ‘that cola kid’ so i just named my starter after a dumb attempt at ‘cola in a japanese accent’. Ugh, past-me!) (But Shogunkora was actually a casuality long before this! I lost him during the time i was transferring pokemon using a friend’s BW cartridge. I actually had to sell my BW game cos i was preparing to run away from my abusive parents and live in a homeless shelter. Thankfully i did indeed survive that! i had to pick on only one game to keep and of course it was sinnoh. But then i ended up losing the cartridge when i moved house and then finding it earlier this year and then causing me to buy bw2 and put the sun cartridge down and.. well, you know the rest.) Boku the female Leavanny (named as an in-joke cos my roselia was Ore in sinnoh. also a casualty who got lost in that hectic transfer.. alas...) Alviss the male Roggenrola (I was very fond of that pun. He managed to survive, and i even got to pet him in sun and moon! I miss him... gahh.. he survived so much and it was all for nothing...) Flint the male Lampent (i only just finally was able to evolve him in sun and moon, thanks to beezah’s help! i miss him tooooo... fuckkkk...)
~ DPPT Team ~
THE GOLDEN ONES god that was back when i was so extra into pokemon, aaa it legit helped me survive thru abusive dad times i got so atattched to sinnoh and all of these lil guys... fuckkkk...
Ore the male Roserade (Personality was like a cheerful and goofily oblivious typical shonen action hero, but like.. eight. He had a sad backstory where he was befriended by a kind old blind human back when he was a wild pokemon, and then some sort of tragedy burned down the forest and killed both that human and all of his family. And also burned off his hands. I mean, he’s a plant so he can grow those flowers back, but it was still super traumatic. So he took up his trainer’s sword in his burnt off hand stumps and promised to avenge him, and thus gained a magical girl style transformation into a human, somehow...??) (the theme for this party was ‘gijinkas’ and i thought it would be cool if there was a different reason behind it for everyone. he was the more magical type.) (oh and he really liked sandwiches) (oh and he was comic relief a lot cos he was a pokemon who turned into a human instead of vice versa. like ariel in the little mermaid where she combs her hair with the fork. HOW DOES HUMAN WORK) Mangos the female shiny Luxray (traded to me by another best friend that i lost touch with long ago, Clash. I miss her too, it sucks that now all i have is one well-protected drawing of an oc she gave me in high school to remember her by..) (anyway, Mangos fit into this random plotline by being the opposite to Ore. she was a human who got turned into a half-pokemon through an evil genetic experiment. And she balanced him out by being an ultra stern and serious mom figure. She was actually a policeman as a human, so she kicked a lot of ass!) (I know that this whole serious personality doesnt really fit with a name like mangos but shiny luxray looks like mangos) Zene the male Infernape (another shonen hero type comic relief guy?? but he was a teenager and comparatively buff, i guess? i didnt realize these two were so samey despite being opposite elements lol. i guess just the difference is that zene did more comic relief and ore did more cuteness factor) (he was also the least developed one in terms of backstory for being in this half-pokemon heroes team. I just knew that he was some sort of martial artist trainee who wanted to be the best, and that was still his goal after he got superpowers, rather than actually saving the world and all. he’d always recklessly get into fights and have no sense of danger, just HEY THAT THING LOOKS DEADLY LEMME PROVE IM DEADLIER) (oh but i did think way too much about how the law would work in this situation?? like, he was depressed and ended up joining this travelling group cos he got banned from the martial arts tournement he was in. having pokemon superpowers would put him at an unfair advantage.) (oh, i think actually his powers were just genetic or something? like it was a mystical power his whole family line had, but he was an orphan so he didnt know until he hit puberty and started breathing fire. but comedically he thought it was because he ate a magical riceball instead. “it was supernaturally yummy!”) Gaspar the male Haunter (Actually came from that one memorable trollish trade in sinnoh where that lady offers you a haunter and it doesnt evolve into gengar, DAMN YOU. i was determined to love him forever to spite her!) (oh and he eventually did evolve into gengar in xy due to a friend trade and me forgetting to tell her not to evolve him. i’d gotten really attatched to him as a haunter so i was sad for a while before realizing it was dumb and that i might have made my friend think i was mad at her?? thankfully we worked it all out!) (Gaspar’s gijinkaness was literally just... i Died.) (He was a human from the 1920s or something who died horribly and came back as a ghost to avenge his own death. but then after he avenged it he continued to exist, and he floated around aimlessly for a long time before learning to appreciate his second chance and form a new life and a new family. He was like the goofy sitcom dad of the team!) (oh, and he liked candy. i still maintain the headcanon that all ghost pokemon like sweet things!)
~ RSE Team ~
These guys actually were also part of my sinnoh team, but they originated from RSE. I didnt really get attatched to my pokemon in rse or gsc cos i was still salty over having my yellow cartirdge stolen and losing my starter raichu that i loved. TOOK THIS LONG FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN, EH? *cries forever*
Reaper the male Sneasel (My honorary starter and oldest pokefriend. I miss him the most.. fuck..) (He was like.. kinda sirius black from harry potter? but teenage? and like.. trying to be serious? like, a total goober prankster loveable uncle figure but he wants everyone to think he’s a brooding dark antihero, and gets flustered whenever his true cuteness slips through. He looked like squall from ff8 except with dark skin and sunglasses??) (He was also someone who was a pokemon with human powers, instead of a human with pokemon powers. But he adapted a lot better to human society, he was just like.. pride at being wild? He hated the idea of being captured by a trainer, or now the idea of losing his true self and becoming like those humans he hated. So all his moments of failing to pass as human were more cos he refused to lower himself and do [insert normal thing here], rather than cos he was oblivious like Ore. But he actually did end up getting a soft spot for his trainer and becoming like a dad figure to her, like how mangos was a mom to ore and zene, and gaspar was the grandpa/dad to everyone in general. I had quite a complex set of relationships worked out for everyone!) (oh, and yeah, they had a trainer! cos i mean i was playing the game, of course they did. but it was more like the one token powerless human on a team of magical girls and boys. she just pretended to be their trainer so they could travel around pretending to be normal pokemon when necessary. and they were all bffs and protected her cos she didnt have parents. she was kind of a self insert..) (oh, and reaper’s backstory was that he was one of the shadow pokemon captured by team cipher, and then when he got rescued and purified it somehow gave him superpowers too or something. he was blessed by celebi and was like the chosen hero of that legendary. But he didnt wanna, he just wanted to use his new human feet to go buy booze and stuff XD) (i actually did get him in collosseum and he was my fave and best and i kept him forever and now he’s fucking gone) (fuck) Nether the male Sableye (Basically my oc Malachi?? its been all these years and i just suddenly recently revived his plot concept as his own character in his own original story. I hope maybe now i could do that with all the others in some way, so i dont forget them..) (he was all the same back then, down to dying from being bricked up inside a basement. except he became a magical gijinka instead of a more normal ghost.) (oh and this version had him as an adult instead of a child, and his personality was... vague? he started off as a loki-ish trickster and then was a complete jerk and then was the comic relief and then was a gym leader and blablabla. At one point he was even Reaper’s boyfriend, which is ridiculous now this character is a kid instead! (tho he’s still remained bisexual in honor of that) Funnily enough he was also Reaper’s sworn enemy gary oak rival at some point too!) (Basically he was the least developed personality-wise, so i dont feel bad that i changed him quite a bit as malachi. it doesnt feel like a change and more like i finally figured out what i originally wanted to do with him.)
~ RBY virtual console team ~
aaaargh only just got them and already lost them whyyyy
Chuppy the male Raichu (reincarnation of the first pokemon i ever got on my original Yellow cartridige, which got stolen because kids are ASSHOLES) (i cried for days and i feel like doing it again right now.. how little life changes...) Starlet the female Clefable Gumdrop the Nidoqueen

ahuahiaha so i had A Dream and it was a long one so sorry for the long post but i cant do read mores on mobile so tomorrow shannen's coming over my house but in my dream i went over Their house and like idk what the hell we did there but there were like pennies the size of quarters and i was trying to collect 4 of them to give to shannen because it meant something special/was a joke or smth i really cant remember, but like i stumbled over a tile with a painting on it but when i picked it up it was actually like one of those horn things that are actually like shells? and the painted side was like the inside of the shell. and then shannen's dad comes in (he was like an old man i havent actually ever seen their dad) and he was like "Once You Touch, You Must Blow It" and i was like uhm ok and he said that the sound must be like really deep and loud but when i did it it was just a fucking whistle and he just shook his head lmao then all the sudden it was like dinner time but i wasnt actually there? i was watching everything from the outside and it was just this long hall with a long table and i think i could actually control the people inside. everyone was crowding towards the right side but two old ladies were on the left so i was like "ok theyre married now" and i tried to make everyone sit more evenly so that those two wouldnt be alone. but there was some issue with mirrors like some girl was like "i wont sit across from a mirror" her mom was like "i wont sit diagonal from a mirror" and a guy was like "i dont even wanna see a mirror" and the younger girl was like "i have two conditions. i dont want to be across from a mirror and i dont want to see any gross shit. like blood" and she just side eyed her mom like lmao what ok then there was something with a girl i have never seen before and like her parents were yelling at her bc i think she was like, really butch? and her parents were like "stop you need to wear nicer clothes do you want to look like a boy" but like the entire time i was just, drawing her ok and that was all i could see like i had no vision of the actual events going on, just this sketch and im p sure i drew her driving a convertible then all the sudden it was this high speed race, it was some guy and again i wasnt actually in here i was watching this guy from like a third person view. hes speeding down the road being chased by these big black vans but i think they were actually just trying to get to the same thing before the other. the van crashes the guy but he gets into like a fucking fork lift except it has like this one giant crab hand thats actually super high tech and he manually attaches the second crab hand thing and with both hes like rlly powerful BUT his like fucking brain was damaged in the crash so hes... suddenly in the music hallway of my school. he goes down it in the forklift (which i thought was much too big to fit in the hallway but idk man he couldnt walk before" and he gets this super computer that lets him function and also makes him basically almost omnipotent and so he goes to leave the hallway, theres security on the outside stopping the guys from the van saying theyre restricted from this area. computer guy squeezes through, suddenly hes just in like. basically a floating chair like its just even a wheelchair its just a nice comfy lounge chair that floats and is a lot smaller for travel. it was also white and sorta translucent then suddenly computer guy is back to speeding down roads, theres a girl with him and for a brief moment i was in her point of view while she was driving but she moved over to let him drive and i was back to him. im p sure they pick up butch girl from earlier and apparently its the end of the fucking world. the cliffs on the side of the road are like, square and rectangularish (like the, entrance to the monster world in moana i guess? but the rectangles were a lot larger) and like the other side of the road just. isnt there. its like in wizard101 its just empty fucking sky and bits of squares of earth are like floating in it but also falling. theres people on the road doing their own thing tho but computer guy is like "alright so time should be restarting at a steady pace now. i dont think you can remember what happens each restart but if you remember anything, remember this: if you find yourself on the road, dont ever get off. keep driving till the end" and thats what they did they just kept on driving for hours along this long ass road and nobody else driving along even knew the world was ending but apparently time was restarting and each restart was gonna get closer and closer together until time just like collapsed i guess lmao. then my mom woke me up so. see you time car guys
