urban gardevoir (HIATUS)

@gardevoirai-blog / gardevoirai-blog.tumblr.com

I’ve been RPing as Gardy for over six years now, with two and a half years spent on Tumblr, and I’m happy to say that I’ve accomplished pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted with him. Back in late 2009, I didn’t think he’d last more than a few months, but he’s now gone through, in-universe, nearly a decade’s worth of upheaval and adventure, going from a self-conscious, foolhardy doormat to the fairly sensible dude you see in 2016. I’ve been blessed to have some amazing roleplay partners from a ton of different fandoms, and Gardy has more than twice as many followers as all of my other RP accounts put together. But here’s the best metric of success - virtually every thread idea I’ve wanted to do with Gardy, I’ve been able to do it. Unfortunately, Gardy’s story hit its climax and resolution over a year ago, and since then, I’ve felt like I’ve mostly been treading water with him, only making very incremental progress - which I guess is what happens when you get through all the conflicts and let a character lead a fulfilled life. As of 2016, he’s got rhythm, he’s got music, he’s got his gal, who could ask for anything more? So getting inspired to write him is a challenge, and as much as I love him, I don’t have the motivation. I’ve got no intentions of quitting RP - in fact, I’m having a blast over at carefulwhisper, a canonically stupid little ghostie who is a ton of fun to play. But in lieu of retiring Gardy, I’m stepping away for at least a month (and probably longer) to reevaluate exactly what I want to do with him. Because, unlike most muses of mine, I’m way too attached to totally give him up. So it’s so long for now! Good night, and Arceus bless.

OOC - Long Post!

It’s a hiatus, and for realsies this time.

What’s this obsession with angels? I’m glad you asked! I don’t know. The main point is: These folks? They’re neat-o.

☾—★ ❝ ( MY ARCHANGEL. aka my damn fave. / @ezpakon; (YELLS MY LOVE FOR YOU FROM A MOUNTAIN TOP) You are so good at writing (the way you use words is the stuff of dreams) and you’re such a good friend. I’m sure when we first started shipping Ezluo, we were both like. What’s going on WHAT THE FUCK YO!!111 But, look at where these two are! Happily together with their daughter and bird, arguing under one roof about dumb bullshit like cereal and rose mist spray. They’ll probably get married soon, isn’t that wild. Watching our two muses grow together has been beautiful. They used to be miserable, volatile assholes. Now, they’re relatively harmless morons that write diss tracks to each other. Can you believe we had a thread where they exchanged diss raps back and forth. What are we. Who are we. These two are parents that function in society (who let this happen, call the cops).

Why didn’t I do one of these on follower #420. Missed opportunity. Anyway, I have the attention span of an old sock but thank you guys for dealing with me! Sorry if I missed anyone. I love all of my followers, though. You butter my poptart, you put are the fries in my chicken tender basket.

You’re welcome.

A Reminder You’re Okay

If you fucked up today, that’s okay. You’re still smart, and good, and people still love you. If you’re in a dark place today, that’s okay. Even if you feel like you can’t get out of bed, and all you can do is breathe, that’s okay. You breathe, take the time you need, and we’ll be here when you’re ready. Every day is a battle. On some, you demolish whatever’s ahead of you. On others, you just have to hang on for dear life. Either way, you’re a warrior. Don’t forget it.

Gardy shouldn’t have agreed to hit the town tonight. Not on a weeknight, no matter how good that local band at the bar was. Even though he skipped the drinks, the loud conversation and louder music had left him exhausted, with zero energy to teleport back home, and no choice but to meander down the seemingly empty streets of Lumiose City. Keeping himself awake by following the night sky as he floated along South Boulevard, he suddenly saw a figure dart between buildings. Was that... a Mewtwo? No way... there was no way that was possible, and yet... what if it was? If Gardy was thinking straight, he would have just continued down the road and put it out of his mind, but... his curiosity was overriding his better judgement, and he began floating upwards, trying to get a better peek. Once he made it onto the nearest rooftop, he could clearly see that the shadowy figure was, in fact, totally a Mewtwo. And thankfully, it wasn’t looking in his direction. But as much as the Gardevoir would have liked to hide, being in the presence of such a powerful legendary was causing Gardy to radiate a strong aura, one of overriding panic...

“Please tell me why you were napping in my freshly dried blankets *while they’re still in the dryer*.”

He crawled out and stretched out his muscles, His back cracking in the process. “I wanted to be nice and warm while also being in a dark cosy place. Why move the blankets when I could just squish on in with them!? Although..” He touched the other and gave him a small zap. “I don’t think you used enough dryer sheets. A little static—y…” 

Avatar

Gardy stared open-mouthed at the tall, heavily armed assassin that had just cheekily emerged from his dryer, jumping back a few feet after the little static shock. “I... I... I got enough dryer sheets for a couple of blankets! That’s all I was trying to wash, and I didn’t, like... I didn’t expect a person to be in there! When the heck did you even get inside there, man?

From the moment Toshizou moved into his home in Seongbuk-dong, he had big plans for the barren front lawn which went from dead grass and snow to a vibrant and welcoming garden. Even in the dead of winter, Toshi could make anything grow as if it was naturally meant to.

Days off were far and few between and since the day was clear of work and the sun was shining somewhat through a blanket of clouds, the garden was where he chose to be. It was a typical day of trimming dead blossoms away. Hearing a voice suddenly, he stopped what he was doing before getting to his feet and turning around. “Oh, I switch my garden around twice a year. These are just flowers and plants that bloom well in the winter months. This year it’s mainly Evergreen Camella… They grow into trees that I donate in the spring. Thank you! I’m Toshizou by the way.”

"Good to meet you, dude! I’m Gardy. And man...” He folded his arms and shook his head, amazed that he could get such vibrant pink and red blooms this early in the year. The Pokemon didn’t know anything about gardening - in fact, back in his birth region, the only kinds of plants were either super tall trees or super small berry bushes - so seeing anything grow like this was remarkable.  “...like, how do you keep all of this up, man? It must be a ton of work.”

“A-Are you a Pokemon?” Moona hides a pokeball behind her back.

“Yep yep, I’m totally a Pokemon!” He gave her a small curtsy and then, spotting the arm behind her back, added, “And... I’m, like, totally wild and free! I ain’t letting the man control me, man.”
