all of this ANGST lately – while nice – it’s getting a bit OLD. I want your character to try their best and make mine feel super loved. give them ALL you’ve got. make them blush like crazy and CRY because they’ve never heard such beautiful things before. do it. I dare you.
Like this post for a starter of varying length!

{{ ☾ }} “Molayne! It is nice to see you again.”
Upon walking through the front doors of the observatory, she immediately makes her way over to him, grinning widely. Instead of her regular lab-coat and Devon uniform, she’s now wearing a knee-length blue dress with sneakers and a white beach hat, an outfit better suited to the region’s intense heat. In her hand was a pastel blue suitcase.
It had been too long since she saw him last–a few months, at least. But in that time, something spectacular happened–there had been a change in plans, and now she was scheduled to stay in Alola for a few years to study Pokemon! It was truly wonderful, not only would she get to see her friend but she would also be able to get her work done as well.
“So I assume you heard the news, right?”
His eyes practically light up upon seeing her enter the building. It’s good to see his friend again and even though he doesn’t know why she’s there he receives her with a warm smile and a welcoming expression. She’s dressed different this time, he notes and though he is curious he keeps it to himself as he turns to face her fully, his paperwork forgotten for the moment.
“News?” He decides to play with her on this as he steps up to her. He knows why she’s there, having received an email from her on the matter but it’s still so much fun to pretend otherwise. He hopes it’s enough to let her guard down, for he reaches over to hug her a moment later, laughing as he can’t keep it up for long. Maybe around Kukui, but not her. “I’ve heard! I’m so happy you get to stay here!” He would twirl her around, only he’s not certain of his own ability to do so.
“What gave you such a wonderful opportunity?”
It’s always a conflicting thing when the amount of challengers to the trial atop Mt. Hokulani are few in number because on one hand, it’s a lot less stress that he has to deal with. But on the other, he thinks (and overthinks) why that is, worrying that word is getting around about how his trial is too easy, uninspired, boring, and so on.
At least it gives him some free time, some of which he has taken to spending on observing the cosmos through some of the high-powered telescopes. (Sophocles can still recall how absolutely thrilled he had been when Molayne first showed how they worked, and then even more-so when he was given permission to use them pretty much whenever.)
Heaving a particularly heavy sigh, he shakes his head as if to dismiss the gloom that threatened to steal away what bits of a good mood he still had, then fixes his gaze on the eyepiece of the telescope before him.
“The skies are so.. pretty.”
A lackluster thought if there ever was one (and one he silently scolds himself for; be more proper with your phrasing), but it’s truthfully what he thinks, finding the inky darkness that was dotted with brightly-shining stars to be absolutely beautiful as well as familiar.
..for the most part, because he soon enough sees something that he doesn’t recognize, hands moving to adjust the telescope’s settings and move it ever-so-slightly, attempting to keep the moving object within his sight, letting out a disappointed huff when it seems to escape.
–only to be startled when he feels a faint rumble, the thing he had been watching having crashed into the ground.
Judging by the sound as well as the feeling, it wouldn’t have been right next to the observatory or anything, but…
“Mo?”
“Hey, Big Mo! You there? I think I just saw something weird!”
Molayne lingers nearby, the steady clicking of keys heard from a keyboard as he works on making adjustments to some pieces of code he wants to implement within the storage system. They are small edits geared towards making the system run smoother, more efficient. He lets Sophocles look through the telescope while he works, if only because he notices a dip in the boy’s mood and wants so desperately to cheer him up. He knows reaching out will make it worse and so he goes with the only viable solution there is at the time: to view the stars through the large telescope the observatory houses.
He never quiet expects anything to come from it though. He feels the metal surface beneath his feet rumble in protest as something strikes the ground nearby and looks up just in time to see Sophocles pulling away to face and call down to him. He peers up at him curiously, head tilting and eyes alight with wonder. He’s seen something and he makes that obvious in tones with his statement. He’s seen something weird and the mere words alone send a tremor of excitement through him. Something foreign, alien? He wants to know and rolls his chair back so he can rise to his feet and practically bouncing with energy he faces the younger male.
“What did you see? Did you feel that it felt like something struck the ground with an awful lot of force for us to feel it here.”
Already he shrugs on his coat and smiling to the other motions for him to follow. He’s too excited to really wait for him and ends up walking out the very doors and gets halfway down the hallway before he doubles back and flings them open again-- perhaps realizing his cousin isn’t behind him.
“You have an idea where it landed... right?” He looks so eager as he holds the door open for the other to follow him through. Something interesting has landed and he very much wants to see what it is for himself.
“I’m fairly certain I’m missing the point...” He’s apologetic. Truly, but he just doesn’t understand what they find so off-putting about his Metagross. “It’s not as frightening as it looks. I promise. You can feed it this berry and see for yourself!” He sounds almost desperate really trying to make such an intimidating Pokemon look less than that to someone who has never been around one before. Oh dear, how can he make them see? All steel types are wonderful, really!
who;s that dad?

♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?
Having someone get upset with me when a ship didn’t work out in their favor. This was back when I was single ship and another ship happened before things developed between the characters and, well, instead of letting things lie they got really jealous over it and even went about oocly trying to trash and break the ship apart among other things. So now I don’t have to worry about that happening again because I can humor all ships and everyone can hopefully be happy if things work out.
✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started? ♒ Thoughts on the fandom you're currently rping in? ❣ How salty are you feeling right now?
Well the use of icons was new to me when I joined the Pokemon fandom some years ago but after that not much has changed. Now if we’re talking about Tumblr the actual site a lot has changed and it has honestly made it harder to rp with others than better unless you have xkit and even then it’s a mess. :c
I love this fandom so much. I am so happy I joined it and have been having a good time on it. Indie is still new to me but I have been enjoying it so much so far. I only wish I could post as fast and get a lot of RPing done each day because I really would like to be around more.
and I’m not feeling too salty right now. I’m pretty happy and have been having a wonderful day! \o/ I hope you are as well!
Kukui didn’t return the look. He didn’t need to, he could practically hear Molayne’s expression through the tone of his voice. He cursed how those few instances could have repercussions after all these years. That weight on his heart had been one of the reasons Kukui decided to pursue the study of Pokemon attacks, so he’d never needed to resort to anything besides his own honest hard work.
How was he supposed to bring up something like that? What if it had ruined their friendship? Where would he be now without Molayne? Still looking off somewhere else he finally responded, “’Course I don’t do it anymore!” the raised pitch in his voice had been completely unintentional, even surprised himself. Kukui shook his head, “I don’t. Never again.”
That’s all he needs to hear and though his smile is strained he reaches out to touch Kukui gently on the shoulder. It’s as if he’s trying to say that it’s all right and that what’s done is done. There’s no point in being upset with him over something that happened so long ago and it’s apparent he’s learned his lesson. Every bit of him wants to believe that and does as he withdraws his hand and lets it rest by his side.
“That’s all I needed to know, Kukui. You’re better than that now, but I’ve always believed in you. I just wish you hadn’t done it and that if anything you’d realize that you can come to me about anything. We’re best friends. If anything I would have gotten you to stop doing it sooner.”
Opinion on ocs who ship those ocs with molayne? Like would you need to read the background info and etc?
If someone ships their OC with Molayne that is fine because that’s a ship they like and they are totally allowed to have it as such; however, I am big on developing a relationship between characters ICly and in my rules it states I do not instant ship. So, Molayne would have to meet them and see if it worked out naturally through IC actions. They can meet much in the same way as written in a person’s bio but I make no promises that it will work out exactly as the OC in question wrote it because characters have minds of their own and that’s why I like to see things unfold ICly first.
✿ What do you think about public call out posts?
I don’t like them but with some people they are sadly absolutely necessary because in some cases people need to know how someone is in order to have an idea of what they’re getting into and if there’s proof then I can see them being alright. If there’s no proof I like to hear both sides of a story and will reserve judgement until then, but if there’s proof and it looks pretty bad I’ll be like ‘noted’ and go about my business. Again I’m not a fan of drama so I won’t go seeking it out either.
❧ Have you ever been jealous of anyone?
Nah, I tend to admire people more than get jealous of them. I’m rather thankful for what I have in life and on this blog and if anything look on ways to be better and improve what I’m doing. The things I have, no matter how small they may be, keeps me from looking at someone else and getting jealous over them. Instead, it’s more like ‘oh wow they’re cool I wanna strive to be like that!’ more than anything else.
☠ What does someone have to do for an instant unfollow from you?
I usually unfollow people if they’re making a lot of ooc posts that involve drama. Namely when they’ve just gotten involved in something and are letting people know to avoid a person for one reason or another. I don’t mind that because it gives me a chance to be careful but what I do mind is them flooding the dash answering the asks of many, many people rushing to defend them. I just can’t handle seeing it over and over for the rest of the day so I’ll unfollow and refollow when it’s over-- but if it’s fairly consistent and the person in question tends to feed off drama I’ll avoid the blog entirely no matter how good the character may be. I just am here for fun and am not a huge fan of drama to begin with so I have a low tolerance for it. ^^;;
What would you do-o-o for a Klondike bar
“Oh? I’d offer you a Pokemon battle for one!” That way he gets sweets and a chance to battle.
“Like, one or two times a month for a little bit~ but it was never to be mean or anything.” Kukui wouldn’t have minded if Molayne did get upset, it wouldn’t have been the first time he heard that tone regarding the issue. “Trust me, my old man really chewed me out for it when he noticed during one of our battles.” it hadn’t been a pleasant lesson learned.
“I just never said anything because I don’t do it anymore, and… you know, I wasn’t proud of it.”
One or two times a month?! He looks away from Kukui, lips pressing into a thin line as he doesn’t want to believe it. Kukui could never cheat. He was wonderful, set an example for him to follow and was someone he always looked up to. Now he was learning some of his own losses arrived from cheating and just knowing that he feels his heart plummet into his stomach as if it were a stone.
“You could have told me, y’know. We could have worked something out besides you cheating because cheating accomplishes nothing at all.” He finally looks back at Kukui now, trying to mask hurt by forcing a smile. He’s already trying to pick out the positives from this. “Y-You don’t do it anymore, right? You’ve learned and I’m sure it’s so much better to earn your victories than to receive false ones.”
