💌 idol cherry’s fanmail opening! 💌

Made for @citrongarde’s Roleswap AU! Idol Cherry and his horrors..

Once the cameras were done rolling, and the lighting crew packed up, Cherry found himself alone in the set, surrounded by freshly opened packages consisting of trinkets, dolls, and occasionally, candies in sickly sweet cherry flavors. 

Normally, Cherry isn’t allowed to keep some of the more “dangerous” fanmail; food items could be drugged, letters could be laced with a poisonous scent, and even the Pokedolls had to be checked thoroughly to determine they weren’t hiding anything malicious.

But today, there was one thing he could bring with him to his room.

A gift so touching that his reaction during the shooting was not guided or fake, but genuine thankfulness.

He pushes aside the compacts and perfumes to a corner on his table, and gently places down a pink, plastic box, decorated with stickers of cherries and red stars.

When he opens the box, a soothing melody plays, and a small customized figure of Idol Cherry spins and spins.

It was a cute gift, befitting of his image. Practical too; the music box served as a small container for jewelry and the like, even containing its own mirror. He could use this to organize his accessories better.

His manager also claimed that if he were to use it regularly and take it outside during trips, fans would be in awe over how personable he was, holding the gifts of the public so close to his heart.

And the melody was nice. A simple classical tune of Relic Song.

The Cherry figure continues to spin and spin. Cherry’s arms are on the table and he places his face on his palms, almost like he’s in a trance.

The figure continues its monotonous, rhythmic pattern, swirling and spinning,  swiveling and spiraling.

Spiraling down, down, down.

The dance never changes, and neither does the melody, but the longer Cherry watches, the more his feelings warp like his reflection on the music box’s mirror.

And just like that, a switch in his mind is flipped.

His love turns to spite, and the initial awe he’s had for this gift- a result of pure hard work and admiration, goes down the drain, just like the cherry sodas he was forced to taste and drink in front of the camera.

The more the dance continues, the more stiff the movements become.

The more the melody plays, the more grating it sounds.

The words “We love you, Cherry!” are written in white paint just beside the plastic mirror, one that was projecting a fake image of him.

And just like that, Cherry is gone, and Cheren’s hands are the ones that hold the music box with a force unfitting for an idol.

With a scream, he throws the music box across the room, breaking it instantly.

The melody continues, distorted and slowing, while the head of the Cherry figure rolls on the floor, stopping right next to his foot.

i wanna know more abt renee/trevor's mom! ike why did she become a plasma grunt ( and if she's still one ) and what's her relationship with her Trevor/Son. also who's Trevor's dad?

Haven't figured his Father out quite yet but I can tell you a bit about Renee

The situation with Renee is really complex. I don't want her to seem irredeemable but she isn't the best mother. At least not for awhile. Lets get into that. (primary based on the game version of events)

As it currently stands Renee was originally heading to Unova to do research. When I say Trevor is the spitting image of her I meant it. This includes some of their interests. She is an intelligent person and at the time worked with Sycamore. Going to Unova wasn't meant to take longer than a few months at most. However despite her wits she managed to get sucked up in by the spiel team plasma was presenting. Wary at first but slowly coaxed that Liberating Pokémon was the right and just thing to do and eventually was fully manipulated and wholly dedicated to team plasma. Cutting off the others in her life (including her Husband and Children) to dedicate herself to the cause. To put it bluntly she could be considered brain washed. She made it through the first of defeat and stuck around for the second plot. Too swept up in it all to realize their goal wasn't to help Pokémon at all. Part of it could even be attributed to the fact that she didn't want to accept that she was helping a bad person or that she dedicated a chunk of her life to this organization.

This is where Trevor comes in. He is undeniably the spitting image of her. Her name is one of his middle names. (For context Trevor's full name in my verse is Trevor Jules Rene Blanchet). The intention of this is to make it hard for him to separate himself from her when this comes out in the open. Currently that is by him and his friends traveling to Unova for a change of scenery after the situation with Lysander. Tierno has family there and so they go as a group to continue their Journey (this is going to be the first time yall hear about my Versions of Serena and Calem). Unbeknownst to Trevor however he also has family there.

During the second wave of team plasma (Which is why Renee is shown in the BW2 uniform in the art of her) they cross paths. Trevor had always intended on traveling the world in hopes of possibly finding his parents but he never expected it to happen this soon. And the meeting goes as well as one can expect with a woman who gave up everything for what same may be willing to call a cult. Which is to say bad. I might properly write the interaction out but it ends with Serena (who beat the elite four) making quick work of her team. Shauna cussing her out. And Calem and Tierno trying to keep Trevor from having a total break down. His mother is a villain who doesn't even feel guilty for leaving him. Down played his feelings. And humiliated him in front of his friends by talking down to him like he's a toddler for being upset and hurt that she left. And he looks. just. like. her. He has her name. They cut the trip short after this.

Eventually Team Plasma dissolves and with no one feeding her some fake ideology she's left with her own thoughts and the guilt really begins to settle in and decides its time to return to Kalos
