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.

Gladion: ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)

Besides the LOVE IN THE AIR on the holiday, the best part of Valentine’s Day for Selene was by far the CHOCOLATE. She’d been so busy making rounds visiting with all of those dear to her and leaving gifts that she hadn’t had time to indulge in any sweets--which was a record considering how much of a sweet tooth she had. By the time she’d gotten to Gladion and somehow convinced him to accompany her to a candy shop, she was reaching her limit on holding out. The brunette practically had sparkles within her eyes as she imagined the sugary treat she’d have soon enough--maybe a a chocolate heart--no, or no maybe a chocolate bar! 

But then it hit her--chocolate kisses. And so, without much thought about the DOUBLE CONNOTATION of her words, she decided to playfully request a few kisses from the blond beside her. What made him stop and sputter so much didn’t process in her mind--but she couldn’t help but think that a blush on his cheeks was a nice sight. ...okay who was she kidding he looked really cute.Heeled sandals came to a stop as he conceded and she clasped her hands in delight. “Aww, thanks!” 

She’d barely had time to get the words out before suddenly finding the distance between them considerably LESSENED. She wanted to ask what he was doing, but instead all that came out was a small gasp as she felt his lips against her cheek--and then the other. ...did. Did he just kiss her cheeks?! Heat rose to both spots his lips touched and as azure eyes looked up to his face, she noticed his gaze DIP.

Heart going double time, making a complete thought was something she couldn’t exactly do anymore. “Ah...” A soft squeak escaped her as her body was pulled against his. Now her heart was going TRIPLE TIME. The action elicited her own shaky breath, but much as she wasn’t sure what brought this on...

..was it bad if she didn’t mind it? Okay, really liked it? Really, REALLY, liked it? He was so warm and up close his eyes were so-And then his lips were on hers. 

OH HER ARCEUS, HE KISSED HER. Her eyes were wide as saucers at the contact. Short and inexperienced it may have been, but just that brief touch was enough to have her feeling about a million Butterfree fluttering within her stomach simultaneously. Her first kiss. 

When he parted from her, she registered how red he was, but her face was BURNING HOT afterwards as well. The brunette completely speechless for once. But then he spoke...and mentioned the three kisses that she’d asked for. 

...and he’d given her three kisses. Two on her cheeks. And one her li-

WAIT. 

The ability to SPEAK finally returned to her. “Gladion I meant....I meant CHOCOLATE kisses. Y-You know...the cute little ones they sell during holidays?” She stammered, a hand rising to run through her hair. She was flustered, no BEYOND FLUSTERED. Her lips still felt warm, her heart was racing, her face was so hot and she sounded so embarrassing!

So many emotions were inside of her that it was too hard to contain. Without a second thought she burrowed her face within his shirt--if she stared at him any longer, she’d probably explode. Especially with what she was about to say next. 

“...but I really liked...these kisses too.” It sounded muffled, but she hoped he’d hear. 

A hidden smile crept to her features.

“You know you love it- along with me” (;

Okay, this probably wasn’t one of the best decisions she’s made. 

Calling her rival at three in the morning out of the blue....and all because she happened to be feeling lonely. Selene never mentioned it to anyone and didn’t think she needed to, but...it was the worst feeling to toss and turn some nights, hearing only her clock tick monotonously in the background as night eventually became day. Tonight was seeming it’d be one of those nights and she just really wanted company. 

Granted Gladion didn’t seem the type to be asleep at this hour of the night, either (so that’s why he’d come to mind as maybe a source of comfort) but...still. Unlike her, he didn’t seem crazy enough to call anyone he knew for a conversation. He was probably doing something important...

One of her hands gently clutched her sheets as the other held her phone to her ear...As it rang, Selene was hoping he’d answer but also hoping he wouldn’t at the same time-if he didn’t, she could make up some lame excuse she rolled over on her phone in her sleep. Totally believable. 

But then she heard what seemed like...a yawn? And wait...he picked up?! He picked up...! A soft heat rose to her cheeks-mostly from embarrassment as his sleep laced voice entered her ear. For a moment she paused, wondering what the heck to say. She didn’t expect to get this far-nor his voice to sound like that. Arceus, she must’ve woken him up!

“Heh, yeah it does, doesn’t it?” A sheepish smile across her lips from her rival’s observation, Selene quickly brushed her hair from her eyes for about the fifth time within the last couple of minutes. “Sorry, I kinda forgot to wear a clip…” 

Okay, now that Gladion was pointing this out? It was definitely a sign she was way overdue for a trim. 

Not too much of her appearance changed in the time after her ascension as Champion, save for the length of her hair-former chin length bob now grown past her shoulders with a hint of waviness at the ends. Her bangs however….were a bit too long for comfort-entirely her fault for not having headed to a salon in quite some time. She’d been all over the place lately (quite literally too) and just hadn’t made the time to go. 

The brunette however had been dealing with things the best she could, utilizing clips and other accessories as a means to hold them in place. Unfortunately at the moment, she didn’t have on any of those and kept brushing her locks to the side throughout her conversation with her rival. Her hair just wouldn’t get out the way…! Which seemed to have annoyed him enough to make a comment about it-not that she could blame him. She probably looked really silly right now. Before she could get anything more out, his next words entered her ears. 

“Hm?” No sooner than she’d made the small noise, a faint gasp of surprise followed. She wasn’t expecting it-the sudden warmth from his fingers within her hair. Soft, dark brown locks were manipulated without resistance and soon rested comfortably behind her ear. Subtle specks of rosiness painted Selene’s cheeks upon the realization of how close he’d gotten to her-had to be the closest they’d ever been before. It wasn’t bad-just, unexpected from him. As was him tucking her hair behind her ear! Maybe it was because it bothered him enough, but…she still found the gesture quite sweet.
