Mun talks about the Muse|| Accepting! 

🔮 What do you see in your muse’s future?

//Welcome back it’s lovely to see you again!!

For Selene’s future…honestly, I want to see her have more growth in her character. She’s got a lot of habits, while good in intention, that could get her in trouble–like her selflessness and struggle to rely on others. I want to see her deepen bonds with friends/make more deep bonds and learn to accept her limits. 

I do see her making a somewhat difficult choice for herself–leaving the Championship behind for a bit to go find herself–ironically just like her idol (Red) did. But as for whether she’ll come back to the throne or leave it? I want to leave that up to the bonds she forges because on one hand, while Selene doesn’t like feeling tied down, she’s a great fit for the role of Champion (despite how she feels like she’s not as fit as other Champions at the moment). On the other hand, while it was her childhood dream to get the title of Champion, the most fun part of being a trainer to her is the part she misses most in her main verse–adventuring and feeling free. She’ll ALWAYS be a trainer and participating in tournaments and the like, but she also has other passions she realizes she’s good at which could be something she wants to pursue more than being a trainer. 

I’m rambling but I also want to get more into her being a faller–while I’ve delved into the effects of it all, I want to resolve over time and rp/plotting if she’s gonna live with this forever (and if there are any latent benefits) or if there’s gonna be a way to counter it. I’ve been leaning towards the former because a hero suffering negative effects from their heroics is something I like to see developed–it’s tough being a hero and that’s something that inspired me with her character, being that the gen 7 protag is relied on to do SO MUCH. (But that’s the life of all protags). 

WOAH THAT’S A LOT

🔥 Unpopular opinion about your muse?

//Dhfkdhfh this is a tough one, I feel like much of the fandom favors an entirely different characterization of my gal than I write; though for protagonists, there’s limited information to go off of so it’s almost entirely subjective what one breathes into them. (That’s the fun part to me!!) One of the biggest things I’m not popular in is that, I don’t really take to the name Moon. (To me it’s better suited as a nickname)  I really loved the localized names this generation– Selene as the goddess of the Moon and Elio as god of the Sun are amazingly fit to me. (It’s a small thing but trust me it gets a bit…irking when you have gently correct others often that your muse’s name is Selene because everyone automatically assumes her Moon.) Another reason I went with Selene is to separate manga from gameverse so as not to cause confusion because I…am surprisingly not the biggest fan of Pokespe Moon but I appreciate the story.

“You’re correct in that ghost-pokemon are my specialty. However, these are zombies. I am not a specialist in zombie-type pokemon.” she corrected him without the slightest trace of irony.

Was this her best plan? Probably not... But she’s explored so many other haunted locations! How was she supposed to know there’d be zombies here? She kept up with Gladion’s pace, but kept looking back, how do you stop zombies? Were they still capable of learning? What if they learned how to climb the stairs after them...? Petra had to think...

"You can't stay awake forever...."

He feels...watched. Was it because he decided to forgo the mufflers today, showcasing his ears to the world? His tiny eevee like tail covered by his cape was his only saving grace as he turns around, wondering where this feeling of being watched came from. Certainly...something new. 

 “....”

He heads to a smoothie stall. 

Gladion snorted a sardonic smile twisting his features, “It’s a fool’s wish-  I’ll never understand that need. Fire’s never called to me unlike some, darkness is what envelops me showcasing all the cracks within the so-called perfect world. It gives me a sense of relief to see that nothing can be truly perfect.”

Looking sideways at the other trainer, Kiawe let a low whistle escape through his teeth.

“Wow. You’ve got a way with words, that’s for sure,” he chuckled, “But the statement still stands. Hell, even the daintiest fairy type trainer’s playing with fire when their ultimate goal is power above all else.”

Y’know, Gold had taken NOTE on the amount of thugs hanging around Alola, but seeing this other kid was something ELSE. Even just the presence of this guy reminded him of a specific SOMEONE he knew back in Johto.

“ooh, you look new!” the admin exclaims, wishmur-loud, suddenly when an unfamiliar outline lingers along the clean edges of her eyes. queen motions him over with a toothy grin, rocking on her heels with vigor, yellow polished nails  outspread in greedy wonder.
