#keeping in touch with ppl via phone / social media

[astaerie]

do YOU want to hear about my hrsg notes? well u don’t get a choice. here

florian notes first. he’s from galar! obviously. but did u know that they’re cousins with elio (protag from pkmn sun in alola)? both of his alolan regional pokemon (ninetails and raichu) were caught there when he went to visit his cousins a few years before he moved to paldea

also his raichu is shiny. because i have a shiny alolan raichu named hersey.

florian is also very well known as like. That Guy that shows up whenever and usually in the weirdest places. they spend most of their time in the wild shiny hunting for pokemon (and he has a tendency to just. not check his phone at all for hours) so ppl just cannot get a hold of him unless he’s like. in the same physical space as them.

kieran is the sole exception (plus his mother) of ppl he actually responds to on time. they’re also probably the only ppl in his favorite contacts just so that he still gets their notifs when he’s on dnd (which is. all the time. shiny hunting requires a lot of focus!!)

on the topic of phones. kieran gets one. its a plot reason but he gets one eventually. he really wanted to wait until he saw florian again so he could have them as the first person in his contacts but carmine wouldnt let him (he has to contact home somehow! kieran was kinda miffed about it)

kieran’s sooo a default texter. like normal caps and autocorrect. he still spells a few things wrong but he fixed it in another msg if he can. he also doesnt msg as often since he’s not used to having a phone and generally uses it to keep in touch with his friends and family.

if kieran has any social media its def to just research the trends in the competitive scene (and most of his posts are reddit style where he does intense theorycrafting with other competitve nerds)

florian is like. ghost level texter. they will leave you on read (not actually, they turned that off so penny would stop getting mad at him for not replying for days). he’s definitely very casual regarding tone and doesn’t talk much via text. he is, however, a big fan of calls! especially calling kieran. (to no one’s surprise)

kieran is also the only one (and maybe penny. idk im still figuring out florian’s level of closeness with everyone else) that florian actually replies to in a somewhat expressive manner. when kieran shows his texts with florian to the others theyre all like. are we talking about the same person. are you sure that’s florian and not an imposter.

when florian and kieran DO get together, its as partners in a QPR! florian is an alloromantic pansexual whereas kieran is arospec (and maybe leaning towards aroflux for a specific identity. its too confusing so he just sits as an unlabeled aro guy)

they both experience romantic attraction towards each other but florian is more comfortable with it (also cuz he’s allo so. they know what romantic attraction feels like right?) kieran’s… well. its a mix of heavy platonic attachment and a lil bit of romantic attraction. he’s still very into florian obvs but he’s not entirely sure if its strictly romantic or platonic. eventually he gives up trying to figure it out and goes. i like florian. a lot. and i want to be their partner for life. that’s it

i’ve been debating on whether or not florian should also be arospec when i think about his feelings… nvm i lied. florian is really whipped, they just dont expect anything back! he’s a bit of a weird case (ig) where they definitely do have romantic feelings for kieran but they were also like. content being his friend until the end of days. they care and cherish kieran so so much but theyre also fine with loving him from the sidelines. florian has literally never considered that kieran might also like them back in a similar way (until his friends confront them and are like hey. you guys are being really gay this whole trip. like how is it obvious to everyone except us that you both like each other. what.)

i have more thoughts (sooo many) so. if u wanna hear more then pls send in an ask! or something. idk i’m like 90% sure im screaming into the void at this point
