🐤 for the birb [ tweet tweet ; ACCEPTING ]

((I did some blog maintenance: transferred all of my general rules onto the hub and kept only the blog-specific bits on the sideblogs themselves.

Nothing changed about the rules, but some general things weren’t listed on all my blogs before so they might still be worth a reread, if yall can be bothered. Still a text wall though. Sorry about that.))

“WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN AND WHY DID YOU NEVER TELL ME?”

“Red. Mysterious and intimidating.”

“Yeah, and I’m the queen of Galar.”

anonymous: A roomba arrives for Gold, carrying with it two gummy candies shaped like foxes.

Gold thanks the roomba as he accepts the candies, both verbally and with pats to its flat surface. He grabs a few rare candies from his bag and places them where the gummies were, before sending the small machine back on its merry way.

Kouki does a fingergun gesture and gives Gold a radiant, completely out-of-character grin. “Ding ding, you got it!” He was already starting to break character, as Barry would start laughing at his own joke instead, but then again acting wasn’t really his strong suit.

“Okay, here’s another one- Whaddya call a lazy kangaroo?”

“Hmm.” This one he doesn’t know, and thinking about it makes Gold forget all about Kouki’s odd behaviour.

“What do you call a lazy kangaroo?”

harmonicrecord​:

“Hey, Gold!” Kouki- or rather, someone that looks like him, but clearly acts completely different- sprints up to Gold in a suspiciously cheerful mood, waving his arms to get his friend’s attention. 

“Why did the skeleton want a friend?”

@aureatecore

Mildly concerned but not one to leave a friend hanging - and besides, Kouki discovering his inner clown is a good thing right? Not that Gold would ever use those words, but the guy needs to get the stick out of his ass - Gold gets right into the spirit of things.

He grins widely, excited, and guesses, “Is it because they were bonely?”

WHICH  PLANET  MATCHES  YOUR  MUSES  PERSONALITY ?

VENUS

You are nurturing and attentive, thoughtful and affectionate — relationships in all of their forms are the center of your universe. Even-keeled as you might come across, for someone to challenge you on the things you care about would be deeply, deeply foolish. What an honor it is to be swept into your orbit.

harmonicrecord​:

Gold’s response wasn’t exactly what he wanted to hear, but Kouki did his best not to let it show. He knew his friend well enough to take one good look at his reaction and understand that he wasn’t actually going to follow through with the plan, but since things turned out fine anyway calling him out on it wouldn’t do any good.

Besides, Kouki had no involvement in their conflict aside from being asked for an opinion, so it was easy for him to tell his friend to apologize and move on. He couldn’t just expect people to see things from his perspective every time, as much as he thought it’d make their lives less complicated.

“No, no. It’s fine.” He raised his hand to get Gold’s attention, then took another sip from his mug. The coffee was starting to get cold after the many twists and turns of their conversation. “I know it was my idea, but what really matters is that everything’s fine now. Don’t worry about it.”

“Besides, just because I was on the right track doesn’t mean I get to be rude about it. I mean, when you’re presenting a report you have to know how to explain your point, right? So let’s just,” he then did a motion as if tossing something over his shoulder, “Put all that stuff behind us and do better from now on. If that’s fine with you, of course.”

“Y-yeah.” Gold fidgeted with the deceptively plain-looking fabric of the kimono in his lap. He sounded grateful, and he was, but dropping the subject didn’t address his own feelings of failure.

He never considered himself someone to betray his own values. But, well... if everyone deserved a chance to be better, that included him as well, right? He silently vowed to learn from the experience and, just as Kouki suggested, do better from now on.

He sat up straighter, determination back in his eyes but the image was almost immediately ruined by a hastily covered-up yawn.

“So, uh.” Back to sounding awkward it was. Gold allowed himself a soft laugh. “Do you always stay up this long t’ study? You look tired a lot when I see you, an’ I think I understand why now...”

The first sign of disruption to the morning’s peacefulness came in the form of a twitch of the Rattata’s ears. The rustling further down the route could have been nothing more than wind disturbing the grass, were it not for the way it rapidly grew louder - drew nearer.

Then the Rattata’s eyes snapped open. It was on its tiny feet in an instant, scurrying away from the sound and into the vegetation. Not even a second later a flash of brown burst from the grass in pursuit of the small rodent, fast, no more than a blur of two-tone fur, only to disappear a moment later the same way it had appeared.

More rustling. Silence.

A head emerged. The Furret’s long, slender body was easily submerged in the waves of green as it stayed close to the ground, and only gradually became fully visible as the pokémon inched closer, curiously sniffing the air around Ethan. While its fur was in disarray, flecks of dirt here and there that it had no doubt picked up while rushing through the grass, it looked too well groomed to be wild. There was a confidence to its movements that suggested training.

It blinked at him with big green eyes, moving close enough to touch.

It was evident that the ambiance around him was beautiful, even as he laid there, sleeping peacefully. He could hear the cries of Hoothoot and Pidgey coming from areas close by, and the aroma and soft wave the close-by sea gave the land. It was peaceful.

Good Arceus, it’d been a long time since anything was peaceful.

Truth be told, Ethan’d like to savor this moment forever- however, as beautiful as this moment was, the (bright) sun rolled slowly into his eyes.

Why did the ambiance sound like nature anyway? He shrugged it off; maybe he’d put on the wrong meditation tape and was too tired to notice.

His eyes creaked open, blinking a few times to get the sleep out of them. What time exactly was it?

Wait. Where exactly was he? It was green- overwhelmingly green. The more his eyes focused, the more was revealed to him that this was not his bed, and in fact, a patch of grass- tall grass. A Rattata had fallen asleep in the tufted soil next to him, and his sleeping clothes had gotten mildly soiled.

This better not be Will playing tricks on me again…

Ethan groaned, turning from his side to his back before hoisting himself up, checking his pockets and beltline. He sighed in relief; at least he still had his pokéballs, pokégear, and ID with him.

« What’s the time… » he muttered to himself, pulling out his pokégear and turning it on with a simple tap to the screen. Huh. There was a blinking “NO SERVICE” at the top left, but at least he knew the time. 10:43 AM.

He stretched a little, putting away his Pokégear, starting to become a little more aware of his surroundings. He sighed- well, he was very visibly nowhere close to the League or Goldenrod. It looked more like… he raised an eyebrow, recalling from his journey.

Isn’t that… « New Bark Town? » he muttered again, looking down the route.

Ethan sighed. «  Well… I might as well surf back to the League. I’ve been meaning to visit that one Ace Trainer again. »

Little did he know, the least of his worries would be getting back to the League.

anonymous: Gold gets a chocolate box for Palentine's Day, from an anonymous sender.

It happened again.

Gold frowns at the gift. He turns it over in his hands in search of something, anything at all to determine the origin, but if there are any clues he must be incapable of interpreting them. This is the second time now that he’s received an anonymous gift for a holiday, and he feels even stronger about it than he did the first time.

He has to repay this kind person somehow. It’s only polite.

But how is he supposed to accomplish that without a name?

[aureatecore]

harmonicrecord​:

Kouki leaned back on his chair again, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow at his friend’s response. For a moment, he considered explaining that he didn’t mean it as a self-deprecating joke and was instead stating a fact that Gold himself proved only a few minutes ago, but after thinking about it a bit further he figured that it was a silly thing to argue about.

“You know what? I’ll just take the compliment.” He shrugged, trying to act casual, but found himself smiling again. That was a sweet thing to say, after all, and an ego boost was always welcome.

Now that their conversation was headed in a calmer direction, though, he almost felt bad for changing the topic to something more serious, but leaving an important conversation unfinished didn’t sit well with him either.

“Oh. You guys talked it out either way, so it’s all good now, right?” Gold’s tone implied he still felt guilty, so Kouki focused on the positives to avoid hurting his feelings. “So, I brought this up because I wanted to apologize. I said some very rude things back then.”

Gold shook his head maybe a bit too enthusiastically, the motion accompanied by a “Nuh-uh.”

“You weren’- I’m s’pposed t’ be apologisin’.” One corner of his mouth twisted up in what was more of a grimace than a smile. “I mean, ya were right, an’ that he apologised jus’ proves that ya were. An’ I should be sorry, because I didn’ even, really-”

Oh dear, where was he going with this? Now that Gold had started talking - because he was sorry, that much was true - he wasn’t sure if that was enough on its own.

“I-I mean. I was gonna take your advice.” Eventually. Possibly. Too late. “Really. I jus’... didn’ get the chance. It was good advice.”

vxtonxge​:

Kate sighs, but at least the other legendary-(mythical? Kate’s never been good at remembering which are which) isn’t screaming her status to the literal heavens now. How to explain..? Well, maybe the truth would work?

“Well, that is.. kinda easier for me, I guess. I wasn’t born as… yknow. I became one.” She admits quietly, looking away. It still sounds crazy out loud.

“Plus, Darkrai doesn’t have wings, really, so its easier to hide as long as i don’t get worked up.” She’s never been the emotional sort anyway.

Gold looks genuinely surprised for a second, but it passes quickly and he gets his features back under control. Maybe in the world below he’d have allowed himself moreways to express this thought, partially as an act, but up here, a human turning into a deity wasn’t quite as strange.

A lot of things were possible in the realm of gods after all, and hiding for a few years shouldn’t make him forget that.

“I didn’ know that was possible,” he admitted despite this. “We’re like opposites, then? This isn’t my real body, but I made it - with the wings - so if I wanna put them away I gotta destroy and rebuild the whole thing.”

@controlledflame​: Normally Red's not one to encourage typical fan habits, but he's particularly fond of Gold compared to most so he'll make an exception this time. It's a bit worn out after years of use but it's been washed and Red doesn't wear it anymore, so a box arrives at Gold's place with an old hat from his journey through Kanto. 'Merry Mewmas Gold, don't go too crazy with this but have a good day all the same :)'

Gold’s grin threatens to split his face in half as he unwraps the gift. He recognises that hat even though he’s never seen it on Red in person. He doesn’t need a description or explanation to understand the significance.

It’s the one from those photos that had inspired him to start his own journey.

And it’s in good hands, he likes to think - it’s done its job of being worn well already, and it deserves some rest among the rest of his most prized possessions. It does look really cool next to the framed rainbow feather.
