General blog TWs: emotional/physical/psychological abuse (People and Pokémon), neglect, misogyny implications, violence, potentially graphic descriptions of violence, murder mentions, harsh language, ableism implications, religious iconography, blasphemy, vague political implications, muse who is generally an asshole
I'm Mildew (he/it 25+), welcome to my RP sideblog for Ghetsis from Pokemon. The blog this one leeches off of is @aelirus
I wrote Ghetsis for a while in short-form RP back in 2016, and never in long form despite being super invested in him. So, here's where I'll be doing that.
I'm a pretty friendly person, I try to write with and befriend a broad range of people... with exceptions for the usual suspects (don't be a pos and dont be a creep.) I can be shy reaching-out first, and maybe tend to talk too much when I think it's okay. Never worry about annoying me or telling me off, I've dealt with it all and I can establish boundaries if needed/respect others' boundaries.
Thanks for reading.
⚔︎RULES:
Here are rules that are specific to Ghetsis' blog, as he will be played a bit differently than my Cyrus blog (@aelirus):
While Ghetsis is a very interesting character, he lacks the same amount of depth my other muses have. For this reason, he's going to be used more for the purposes of events and conflicts. Don't expect a lot of growth out of him or character arcs (although not entirely off the table in highly select cases.)
As an addition to that rule, I probably will have lower activity with Ghetsis and simply use him when the need arises. (That being said "lower activity" for me is a mystery. Because I love to talk and write.)
As another addition to the first rule, you can absolutely feel free to use Ghetsis as a set piece for events/conflicts. He is the "biggest bad" there is. Thanks to alternate universe fuckery that I subscribe to, I can even allow him to be defeated in a myriad of ways or timelines.
I have one condition with this: "Defeating him" needs to have meaning, and make sense. If I feel like he's being pushed around or being underestimated OOC, I will try to nudge things back in the right direction. If that doesn't work, I'll tell you directly in DMs, and I might lose motivation for the idea altogether.
Work with me, please. I would much rather your character have an interesting story to tell.
I should probably put this on my Cyrus blog too, but: Ghetsis is a STRATEGIST. He knows Pokémon battling like no one's business, and using Pokémon in general to get what he wants. I, HOWEVER... I haven't fought a single competitive battle in Pokémon. Have mercy on my soul 🙏 (And because of this, I typically subscribe more to non-game-logic battle sequences. Such as discussing generally what we want to take place, and trusting that both sides will make something fun and interesting come of it.)
That's all for now. Anything else, I'll add in the future and post about it so people know.
Now onto rules across both blogs for posterity-
More serious stuff.
Number one is pretty simple: If you're an asshole, I don't want you around. If you roll your eyes when someone brings up their experience as bipoc, or at pronouns or neopronouns or real shit going on in the world, get lost. No Zionists.
You can consider this rule 1a: If you delight in annoying people who don't want to see certain things, you're also not welcome. this includes anyone who calls themselves "proship". I'm not here for any of that.
Now the more simple/given rules:
GHETSIS IS AN ASSHOLE. Don't expect to change him without a lot of push back, don't expect him to feel bad for something he does to your muse. This in no way reflects how I, the writer, see you or your character. If you want me to dial something back, tell me!
Blog might be suggestive or even explicit at times. (Under a readmore)
Related, but if a blog whose Mun/Writer is under 18 interacts with mature/suggestive/nsfw posts, I will block.
Non-RP blogs can absolutely follow and interact with me! I'm chill. But please be mindful of interacting with threads that include other roleplayers, as their stance can be different.
When writing with me, don't assume what my muse will do unless previously discussed. AKA: no godmodding.
Don't be too pushy for responses. I'm an adult, I've got typically low motivation, stuff happens. However, if we both really like an idea and neither of us can get through a whole thread in order to pull it off, we can totally chat in DMs about the scenario and bring it to life that way!
Go wild with Asks, have fun. I'll pick and choose what I can and can't/don't want to do, whether because of my motivation or whatever other reason. If I truly have a problem with anything, I'll message or respond with the request to stop.
I might have more rules eventually, but this is a good starting place. Talk to me if you've got any questions or concerns!

Hewwo mildew i am back with weird questions for you to ponder your orb on. Would you elaborate on the connection of team plasma to blood? And also fire and lightning. I like listening to your thoughts :D
🥺 thank you ,,, youre so sweet. and thanks for sending me an inbox, i thought that was a total throwaway thought-of-the-day!
The association with blood is a few things. "Blood (of the battlefield) is thicker than water (of the womb)", the battlefield referring to the plasma grunts who are straight out of the crusades fighting the battle of morality.
Blood is also significant in many religions, but particularly in the Catholic one that Plasma seems coded towards, blood is tied heavily to the blood of Christ.
Specifically the blood that bled when he was crucified, which has the further meaning of "his blood redeeming the believers and cleansing them of sin" and death-for-the-cause (also relates to the crusades. funny.)
Christ's blood is also symbolised by wine (or thought to actually be his blood in some sects) and I just think that the connection between something that has become a symbol of "wealth" and those that consume it, vs those that worship it, is interesting. Especially because we see Ghetsis drinking wine in one of his special card arts. (I will never stop thinking about that big ass glass of wine he has ty)
Further on the whole wealth thing, and blood, and wine, and CLASS... diamonds. Blood diamonds, you know. Gems, gold; all of that which adorns powerful people were most likely taken by force and others suffered for it.
Okay, moving on.
Blood, in an edgier way, also represents ... death, battle, scary things. Maybe it's a threat.
But the more obvious implication of Plasma representing the dragons of truth and ideals (fire and lightning) is MOST DEFINITELY a threat.
Fire in relation to christianity relates to "purging impure things", basically burning something until only the truth remains. Lightning is seen as god's wrath... you know, to try and "gently guide" people towards His ideals.
The connection between holy fire and the role that fire plays with angels I've talked about through Ghetsis' hydreigon, but it's not lost on me that Reshiram looks "angelic". with its blue eyes and white plumage and arceus-like hair-wigglies.
Zekrom... I dunno, would it be too cheesy to just throw in a mention of fallen angels here? Zekrom and Reshiram are equal forces, and I think by themselves they are also neutral, so they're not literally meant to be gods servant versus the ones that tried to overthrow him... but fallen angels became "fallen" because they had great ambition, and ideals that went against the "status quo", or what might've been determined as "the one truth" (seen as a good thing that you should not dissent from, that you should not think otherwise from. I think that is why Zekrom also looks 'scarier'. Because we are supposed to believe in the good truth and the bad dissention)
On top of Reshiram and Zekrom, I also like to think of fire/lightning as representing the past and the future. Everything began with fire, we developed through fire, and eventually because the fire allowed us to evolve, we were able to harness electricity!! Nimbasa city, baby! Induction ovens, yeah!! (This also is kinda referenced by white forest representing the past and black city representing the future)
Also... fire/lightning in general: destructive natural forces that humans have harnessed. And that is what Ghetsis is doing with Zekrom and Reshiram, and deciding who gets to have pokemon and who doesn't. I've mentioned it before while going into the "ars goetia" stuff, but ghetsis is basically a classic wizard harnessing powers that are "divine" (aka: very powerful that no one human should be able to command) in order to become a god, to rival whatever natural order already exists and make it his own. Fallen Angel and Lucifer and all of that, yada yada.

Heard this song again and first of all I gotta say, shout out to Star who showed me this on this blog like a year ago....... specifically in the context of colress and ghetsis, which i think is awesome for the idea of ghetsis' like old-world ideals meeting modern technology, but i also think it works just SO well for BW2 ghetsis in general.

I fail to see how the Monsters of Inc. were persuaded to care about the welfare of children who to them were no more than an anonymous, alien resource necessary for the convenience of their lives. They weren't even the same species of them. Yet they overhauled their whole energy economy to be more humane toward this hated other, which had no legal rights in their society, and which most of them had never even seen. It really makes no sense, if anything it's sort of a perversion, like if you actually lived with that level of concern and empathy you wouldn't be able to function at all. You would be, just, fucking debilitated. Just psychologically crushed. Idk it's just not that plausible to me. And Randall, the lizard. He isn't that fuckable either.
enough of asking "would you still love me if i was a worm?" would you still love me if i was a pit in your stomach eating away at you from the inside? would you still love me if i was a distant memory you could do nothing but grieve? would you still love me if i haunted you for the rest of your life?
