selfietake said: "I'm happy I met you, Piers." He reaches out to cup both of his cheeks, pulling him closer so he can briefly press a kiss to his lips, then rest their foreheads together. "Won't ever stop being sorry about where we started, but there's nothing that could make me regret how we got here, together, despite that. And I'm not going anywhere. I'm here for as long as you want me." His smile softens as he pushes hair behind the other's ears. "...but if you want a New Year's kiss, you better steal it."
↪ SELECT: New Years ( @selfietake )
Being on top of a secluded rooftop isn’t exactly how he usually spent the last few minutes of the year. It was better than being down in the streets, with the flashing lights and the excited chatter of ongoing party goers who are waiting for the clock to strike twelve. He knows even in Spikemuth it was in similar fashion; with his residents celebrating in their own way that they get to finish another year together with the strength the town had. Even then, Piers would be alone, unless he was with Marnie. Watch the scene from outside his window with a cigarette in hand, content with simply seeing Galar reach a new year from a safe and less overwhelming distance.
When the hand that’s been resting on top of his own lifts, Piers immediately breaks out of the trance he landed in from staring at the Motostoke stadium lights, curious to see what Raihan was planning to do next. Before he can really guess, he could feel their bubble close around him when he felt his hands on him again. It’s amazing what could distract him nowadays. He was never one to be social, so often times he would stare at walls during events and simply zone out into his own thoughts until someone legitimately shakes him out of it. Now, all it took was for Raihan to be in his field of vision. If he held his hand, kissed him, or simply looked at him, Raihan will be the only person in the room, no matter where they are. His eyes locking on the way Raihan moved around the room, or how his fangs poked out when he smiles, or when Raihan looks back at him with a smirk on his face that says he knows Piers wants him close to him. It didn’t take long for Piers to admit that staring at Raihan was much better than staring at a wall.
His hands raised, moving over Raihan’s shoulders so Piers can gently wrap his arms around his neck to keep him close, the beginnings of a smile forming on his lips. He took note on how cold it had gotten since they’ve been up here, now that his bare arms are free from the large hoodie that had been tucked over him. Of course he was inevitably going to steal it, he still hasn’t answered Raihan’s accusation that he purposely came to the roof in short sleeves as an excuse to take his iconic dragon hoodie. He wasn’t going to confirm it, but he wasn’t going to deny it either.
Of course, the cold quickly became something that wasn’t an issue. As brief as it was, the kiss was quick to spread the warmth and comfort across his body. The pressure built in his chest, as it always does whenever Raihan kissed him, and it’s his reason whenever his heart started to beat fast in response. He sighs, already starting to lean into the kiss only for Raihan to pull away too soon after. There was a soft whine in protest before he could really stop it. It’s not always that he is the one keeping affection short lived.
He forces himself to keep quiet as he speaks however. He blinks at his words, unsure if he was really surprised by what he said, but the way his fingers gripped onto the collar of Raihan’s shirt was hard to ignore. The past year, it’s certainly been one that Piers had never expected to happen in a million years. Marnie finally going out on her own Challenge was the only thing he had to get adjusted, that was what he thought anyways, suddenly getting into a relationship with someone he thought would never have any sort of feelings for him was definitely not something he was prepared for. Much less, anything that came after the surprise confession.
He can’t say there’s anything he regrets about it, though, not when he took a moment to move his head so he can nuzzle his nose against Raihan’s with a short chuckle. He’s more than aware of how they started. How the famous final gym leader treated him, how he made him feel on nights where it hit harder than before that he had no one to go to for help during that time. No matter how much it all hurt back then, Piers knew that he could never say that he would want to go back and change anything about it. It makes where they are now all the more shocking, really. It still amazes him to this day how they were able to go from enemies to equals, he knows Raihan’s reasons on how he managed to change his ways, but he wished that part in his heart would fully understand it all.
How he went from doubting his worth because of him, to feeling loved and happy by the same person. “I’m grateful for meeting you, that you gave me a second chance to see who I was.” He pauses to think over what he said, looking at Raihan that wasn’t his eyes once he got too shy to keep eye contact. He doesn’t often think about how easy it was to know that Raihan loved him, where his feelings lied in when it came to this relationship, it was something that became natural quickly after they became official. The more he thinks on it, the more he appreciates how everything started in the first place. Maybe calling him the same person wasn’t the full truth, not with how much Raihan grew over the past few years, his feelings towards the weird goth trainer aside.
“I would hope not.” He replies, seeing his foggy breath as he spoke only reminded him that it was in fact, cold outside. It would be embarrassing to admit that he forgot his surroundings again; the lights not being as blinding and the noise from below becoming muffled while they were sharing their moment on the roof. It always happens, this doesn’t come as shocking to him anymore. Moments like this where Piers knew deep down that if there were to stay like this forever, he wouldn’t mind it at all. Whether it was outside on the spot of the roof, or out in public where he was comfortable in his lap and leaning against him, or in a pitch black room where the only thing Piers could feel was the safety of his arms around him. It didn’t matter where they were, or what they were doing, he would be fine as long as he was around.
“I’m going to be wanting you for a really long time, then.” Its something he blurts out in the middle of his thoughts, his grip on Raihan that he hadn’t realized was tightening finally loosening. He really didn’t need to say what Raihan already knew; that the idea of them ever being apart brought a feeling he didn’t ever want to face. And he knew Raihan felt the same way. “You finally caught me, you know. You won’t have to spend anymore years chasing after me now. You have me, and I won’t be going anywhere either. No matter how mushy and embarrassing you get.”
Then he lets out a scoff, rolling his eyes and letting them cast aside to the view in front of them. There was a short “mhm”, as if he was actually thinking about it. Of course Raihan wasn’t going to make any of this easy, he knew he was trying to get him to come out of his bubble. “Maybe, maybe.” He replies, but with his index finger tapping the back of Raihan’s neck in rhythm to an imaginary clock in his head it was clear that he was more concerned with stalling for time. Either that or teasing his partner. It’s not his fault on whatever Raihan ends up thinking.
After what felt like an eternity, he finally stops, the hand he was using shifting again so his fingernails can leave a trail that rests on Raihan’s chest. He lets out a hum as he continues to ponder, swearing that he could actually feel Raihan’s heart at a quicker pace. He didn’t make the effort to hide the smile that came with this thought, it was nice to be able to tell that Raihan was as reactive to his bouts of intimacy as he was. It was taking up all his might to not cuddle up to him so he can hear his heartbeat himself on the spot, instead he lets out a sigh and blinking to look up at him with such softness in his eyes it’s a miracle that Piers didn’t get shy and look away.
“Is it really stealing if it has always been mine?” As if on cue, the screams below them become louder as the whistling of a firework soars through the sky. He wastes no time after that, simply tilts his head and presses his lips against his. He isn’t one to initiate the intensity his partner usually does, but when there’s not even an inch of distance between the two when he pulls away and for a brief moment his eyes land down at Raihan’s lips before blinking up at him again, it’s clear that this is going to be one of those rare instances where he won’t be delivering a simple short kiss. “I love you, my beloved.” He mumbles, giving one more kiss before breaking away again. His words are soft, but he knows Raihan can hear him above all the fireworks. “Stay with me… forever? That’s all I really want this year, a promise that you will.”
One day I’m gonna go more in depth with Raihan’s relationship with the other gym leaders / Leon when I have time to FINALLY SIT DOWN AND DO AN ABOUT PAGE GOOD LORD, but I think it’s important to note that although Rai was a real asshole prior to Leon metaphorically beating the toxicity out of his ego (see my portrayal info here), his personality over the years has been very ... multilayered and constantly changing. He had very different relationships with some gym leaders and especially Leon from when he was in the challenge to where he is now.
(Note some of this relies on plotting I’ve done with people, so if your muse is mentioned and you don’t like a particular dynamic you’re not bound to it, we can also plot, this is just default for my portrayal!!)
I’ve already talked about his days as a gym challenger a little bit. He was awful to Leon. Really rude and boastful, constantly trying to tear him down, absolutely determined to prove that he was better than him. He was a pretty cruel rival, but it ultimately ended up hurting himself more than Leon in the end. By the time they’ve become leader/champion, respectively, he’s completely mellowed out and apologized to Leon (extensively) for how he behaved when they were younger. He goes out of his way to reach out to him and be a good friend rather than a powerful rival because he no longer actually cares if he ever surpasses him or not. although he of course still jokes around & etc with him about it. He just wants to have fun with what he’s doing and he DOES have Leon to thank for teaching him how to enjoy that aspect of battling again: he let his head get way too wrapped up in Galar’s press. Now he just kinda YOLOS!!! whatever he wants and Galar benefits from his wild ass content.
At the same time, Leon is complicated? His existence hurts him, in a way, through no fault of Leon’s own. Because Galar is constantly comparing the two of them. Even his league information talks about how the only way he’ll ever be able to achieve anything he once dreamed of is if he left behind his home and went to a different region. Raihan doesn’t let it show (although there have been hints of it literally since his own challenge ended / instances where someone who read him well could pick up on it), but that stuff still gets to him, albeit he can usually brush it off and keep moving forward. He doesn’t blame Leon for any of that, he just kinda ... gets really salty at Galar itself sometimes. He wants to be his own person with his own accomplishments, not completely brushed aside as Leon’s shadow and have that be his identity. He’s reached a point where he’s just trying to chill and enjoy all the hopefuls who come through the challenge, but man does the press make it hard sometimes.
That being said, bouncing back to before he softened his persona (it’s been about??? 3-4 years since Raihan fully Stopped Being A Dick as of modern day portrayal), it’s worth noting that even at his worst, he’s always been kind to people younger than him and, as a gym leader, has always tried to help the gym challengers where he can. The seeds for being a Better Person were always there, they just took a while to bloom lmfao.
His relationship with the other gym leaders has gone through some shit though man I’m crying.
Nessa & Gordie are the exceptions, because he’s just ... always gotten along with them. Vibed you could say. He hasn’t always TRUSTED them, but they’ve always been kind of a trio in the sense that he never purposefully picked on them or singled them out over anything. With some people I’ve plotted with, this led to them becoming pretty tight-knit, the PLASTICS OF GALAR IS YOU WILL JKNHMNKJHNM. Doesn’t have to be true for every Nessa/Gordie I interact with, but as a default, he considers them his closest friends outside of Leon, once he mellows out and stops being SUS of literally everyone in his social circle.
Piers specifically got the worst of his bullying, on the other hand. Raihan was known to publicly talk shit about both Piers and Spikemuth for quite a while there and was, like, documented as having an extremely poor opinion on his gym. A lot of this is also through plotting, but it’s relevant overall to my portrayal, too: once Raihan started changing his attitude and shifting how he acted around people, Piers is someone he constantly began trying to reach out to. It wasn’t successful at first, with him being rightfully ignored, but as time went on and he started trying to advocate more for Spikemuth and flipped his opinions on its gym & leader in interviews (discussing how important it is to the challenge that the challengers get their asses kicked by someone strong enough to do it without gigamaxing so their heads don’t get big like his used to be, for example), the two of them finally reached steadier ground in which Raihan was able to properly apologize to him and try to begin mending that bridge with time. This is the path that led to him ultimately being amazed by Piers’ strength, both in terms of how he runs Spikemuth and how he battles. Piers is THE biggest indicator for how much Rai has changed, not only because he becomes one of Spikemuth’s biggest supporters, but because he wants to undo the damage he did by trying to lift Piers’ confidence in himself as well. It’s one of the few topics Raihan, still rather egotistical despite his growth, will constantly admit he was wrong about publicly & very loudly.
Allister is another notable leader, because he never really got to SEE the worst of Raihan, considering he wasn’t around for it. I just think he’s one of the most important to make a note of, because Allister is one of the leaders he’d make the most effort to reach out to and get to know, BECAUSE of how timid he is. The way he interacts with Allister is kind of a ?? window into how much Raihan has changed outside of his interactions with Piers and Leon, because although he’s always been nice to people who are younger, he also has never gone out of his way to seek them out himself, so him trying to build a friendship with Alli and make him feel welcomed among the leaders is a big Character Point:tm: for him.
The only other relationship he has with other gym leaders that’s NOTABLY complicated in a special way would be Milo, but there’s no extensive explanation for it other than he used to view him as fake and agitating. He hated being around him and couldn’t stand how ... gestures ... NICE he was. Although he was about as rude to him as any of the other leaders, Raihan would’ve not doubt at one point given him a more tailored apology for making those assumptions about his character.
Remaining gym leaders just had to put up with his general shit: him thinking he was on a pedestal in comparison to them, seeing himself as too above them to associate outside of business dealing with gym stuff, him occasionally vaguing them through media or outright dragging them, being rude to their faces / brushing them off, etc...
Raihan was Not A Great Person until Leon beat down his ego and allowed him to really ... contemplate what the hell he wanted with life / what he was doing with it. He recognizes how horrible he was and although his personality hasn’t changed (he can still be very petty, haughty, egotistical, etc), his outlook has and that makes a huge difference. He’s more humorous and less spiteful. He’s genuine and tries his best to make up for his past. He does what he can to help people and apologizes for his mistakes. Things that he’d never really done much before allowing himself to grow as a person. Because of that, he’s very tight-lipped about his own guilt / shame regarding who he used to be and he goes out of his way to never let Galar’s media sources know when they're getting to him because he doesn’t think he really has the right. That said, it’s not like he has unhealthy ways of handling all of this, he just keeps doing what he loves and tries to keep an optimistic outlook on everything.
People who knew him like 4 years ago versus knowing him now can absolutely see the change. We stan a queen bee redemption arc trope, go regina george. KJNHKJHN.

“Why don’t you go FUCK YOUR SELFIE?”
❰ ❛ galaxiasus . ❜ ❱
// @selfietake
He doesn’t view himself as a jealous person, no matter how many times people tend to call him one. He isn’t sure if he thinks this way out of pure denial or simply because, in actuality, he’s not a jealous person. I’m not actually that petty. He likes to think, when he does things like this with no visible hesitation or doubt in his mind that this was probably the worst idea.
Not his problem fans can’t keep their hands to themselves. He won’t be the person to say this out loud, however, not when he appeared from the shadows and gently shoo’d a few teenagers away from the closed in space so he had room to fall right onto Raihan’s lap. It didn’t take long for them to be surprised by the sudden entrance and then leave after a few words, and he wasn’t about to voice the pride he felt rising in his chest out loud.
“I’m bored.” His immediate excuse, shifting in his spot so his body can comfortably lean against Raihan’s chest. Of course the lobby was going to be busy the first few days of a new Gym Challenge, but as usual, he would rather be home. He didn’t realize until it was too late that he was staring at any suspicious person that walked past with narrow eyes, he can’t tell if its worse here or from the corner of the lobby when someone did get too close to Raihan. “If we sneak out Rose will have our heads. More my fault if anything, he gets stricter every time I don’t show up to these things.”
Raihan actually doesn’t mind it : as much as he confides how tiring the constant attention can be when it’s coming from particular sources, he’s always been kind to his fans when it came to interacting with them. It shows itself, not only through his social media pages, but in how he conducts himself in their presence. The biting edge from his persona dissipates, even if just a little, his smile more genuine as he watches them reach out to pet the Sandaconda that’s more often than not hanging off some part of his body. Kids, teens, even some adults ... he loved seeing how much their eyes sparkled when they got excited over something as silly as meeting a gym leader.
And then there’s Piers. The moment he sees someone pushing through the tight little circle they were all sitting around in, he’d be lying if he didn’t admit to almost choking in an attempt to keep himself from laughing. He presses his lips together as he watches him shoo some of the fans away in a desperate pull not to even let his smile show. He fails around the time the dark leader has fallen into his lap and the rest of the people surrounding them seem to get up in a huff, Sandaconda simply shifting to lay over both of them.
“Pfft-hahhaa...” The second he leans back against him, he has to press his lips to his shoulder : in part so he can kiss him ... but mostly so he can muffle his laugh. “Bored my arse! You’re jealous!” His arms wrap around his waist, trapping him so he isn’t able to get up and leave in the face of his teasing. Not that he thinks the other will really complain, if anything he thinks it’s pretty clear this embrace is exactly what he’d been going for. Unfortunately for his partner, just when he seems like he’s about to stop, he notices him glaring at the passerby and instead hides his face in the crook of his neck this time. “Hahaha! Careful, babe, you’re going to scare away all the competition before the challenge even starts! You know you don’t have to fight for my attention.” One of them, at least, is absolutely thrilled. “Bold of you to assume I wouldn’t ditch this place right this second if you asked me to. It’s not like Galar doesn’t know who we are — puh-lease. I think giving Rose a hard time is funny.”

i’ll be completely transparent but if you interact with aku (kyodaitenbatsu) then i’ll be blocking or soft blocking you. i’ve called this person out in the past for fetishizing incest, as well as others have called them out for more nasty shit they’ve done. this person preyed on someone extremely close and important to me, (not to mention i’m a victim of incest myself) so i have ZERO forgiveness for this person and refuse to interact with people who are just going to blatantly ignore the nasty shit they’ve done. feel free to soft block me first if you need to. aku’s main callout is here if you’d like to read it.
i’m ngl i’ve just been asleep for the past few days have a cute icon as an apology lmfao

about duplicates
Duplicates are friends, not rivals.
Duplicates have the right to rp the same muse as you are.
Duplicates are not here to steal your friends/partners.
Duplicates bring in their own interpretation and uniqueness to their muse.
I do UNDERSTAND there are duplicates who were problematic, like stealing headcanons and ideas from their muns who are rping the same character they are. You have the absolute right to be wary, ignore them, and not befriend them. Though, for the most part, they’re all here to have fun and bring in their own style. And I am starting to notice people are leaving fandoms merely because there are muns who hates “competition”.
Since when did rping become a contest to see who’s the best?
Like I said, you have the right of not wanting to associate or befriending with duplicates especially if you made it known in your rules. But throwing in the passive aggressive attitude and telling others not to interact with them, ostracizing them from the community is not the right way to do it if you feel insecure around them. There’s the block button and tumblr savior.
Most importantly: You have the right to be insecure, but your mental illness is not a valid excuse to be mean.
“You need some help, mate?” He sits atop a cliff overlooking the passage through which the trainer seems to be caught, legs crossed. His chin rests in his hand, eyebrow perked in a smug look of curiosity, although the question itself seems genuine. From behind him, his sandaconda pokes out her head and watches the scene with interest. “From the looks of that last fight, most of your team is wiped out, yeah? I got a couple of revives I can toss you. Potions, too. No using letting everyone KO when you aren’t close to being out of these woods yet.”

“It looks like he’s taken a bit of a liking to you.” He chuckles, gesturing with amusement to the Flygon as he circles the girl, head craned as if he seeks her attention in equal parts to expressing his curiosity. “You wouldn’t think it, but he’s actually pretty shy... usually have to coerce him to interact with the kids who come visit the gym an’ stuff.” Walking forward, he rests his hand on the Pokémon’s side, attempting to encourage him. Actions that are at odds with his expression, which turns to a smirk. “Maybe he can smell berries on you or something, might just be fishing for a treat.”
