It is bad that companies are screwing with the environment. It definitely shouldn't be this hot in Unova lately. That said, Elesa and I might as well take advantage of the extended Summer. Eventually, beach weather will leave us.

There are those butterflies again. 😵‍💫

Someone left me a bouquet at Elesa's pride collection shoot! Also, there's my flag. Thought I was bi until fairly recently; ultimately, I think I was just trying to fit in that box.

laylily (Elesa and Skyla being on the same page in being useless around each other is my favorite bit.)

I actually might not survive Pride Month. I am going to die of awkwardness or yearning in the next 30 days.

Yeah! Right. The singer you definitely totally weren't dating. Well, now I can at least look forward to celebrating pride with you this year. (Just two women who love women. Was it warm today?)

Ah. It's been a bit for me, too. Also women.

W-well, yeah. In theory. I mean, it's been a while. But if I was kissing anyone, it'd be, y'know, women.

𝑮𝑰𝑽𝑬 𝑴𝑬 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰 𝑵𝑬𝑬𝑫—!@voltswitching.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Kissing women?

Perfect. I'm excited to remind Unova that the only thing I love more than flying is kissing women.

𝑮𝑰𝑽𝑬 𝑴𝑬 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰 𝑵𝑬𝑬𝑫—!@voltswitching.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Well, if you say so. I think it would be great.

I mean, I know I fuss about it sometimes. But getting to dress in cute pride outfits with you? That feels worth the other stuff.

𝑮𝑰𝑽𝑬 𝑴𝑬 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰 𝑵𝑬𝑬𝑫—!@voltswitching.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Hm? I can ask if they need another model. Wait, you WANT to?

I love Pride Month. Hey, um, did you need someone else for the shoot?

𝑮𝑰𝑽𝑬 𝑴𝑬 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰 𝑵𝑬𝑬𝑫—!@voltswitching.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Oh. I guess it's time to model pride wear.

(Laylily basically slept through Sunday, so her muses are being dragged into a Golden Week photoshoot to compensate!) "This is why I don't get fashion. This isn't a sweatshirt; it's sleeves. I didn't know they sold sleeves separately."

I keep my hair up if I'm going to fly or battle, but maybe I should wear my hair down more. It's not a bad look, right? It's just way less manageable in the wind.

To be clear, just because certain types absolutely body my fliers, doesn't mean I hold anything against the Pokémon themselves. I adore electric types; some of them are so cute! (Rock and Ice types are also pretty okay, but I have an electric-type bias.)

"You're managing to keep things peppy! I don't know how you find the energy with your schedule."

Well, it's apparently #SeductiveSunday and this week that means it's also #SwimsuitSunday, which means I got roped into another one of these photo shoots, even though I am NOT a model. But, um, I guess this one isn't so bad. A photo shoot could be a lot worse than this. For some reason.

I wasn't sure this gift would suit me, but I'll admit, I love it. Oh, the outfit is the gift. The doll is... I kinda just had that. I'm allowed to have my best friend's merch. I like Elesa a normal amount.

I don't know how Elesa convince me to do this, but I guess if it's for a holiday event. Fine, smiling through a special seductive sunday!

Is it the wiggliness? Is that the appeal? Hm.

Hm. Shuckle are very cute, I have to admit.

laylily One headcanon I have that in regards to regions is that they are typically more like provinces than nations. That the first four regions are in a greater nation of Japan, that Unova is a smaller state in a larger American nation, etc. (Some nations are small enough to just be one nation.)

It's a rare and lucky group of people who see me with my hair down regularly. I'm convinced if I went out like this, most people wouldn't recognize me. (It's actually a good way to have some privacy at the gym, I'm realizing.)

laylily For the record: it's really, really annoying how much Skyla art, even fairly well-done Skyla art, whitewashes the everyloving hell out of her.

I'm not exactly the type to indulge in secret admirers. (Elly is the model, so that feels more like her burden.) But someone did send me these fancy chocolates, and it would be RUDE not to eat them, right? Anyways, want one?

(Skyla rolled her eyes.) Okay. I'm not oblivious. I know I'm... you know. Attractive. (She almost squirmed giving herself the compliment.) But my bestie is a world-class model and one of the most gorgeous women I've ever met, so I'm not going to have you diminish yourself either, you goof.

𝑮𝑰𝑽𝑬 𝑴𝑬 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰 𝑵𝑬𝑬𝑫—!@voltswitching.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Wh— Skyla! ( elesa became bright red, covering her face with one hand, and pushing the other girl with the other. ) I— Well, I am pretty. But y-you're an absolute bombshell! You just don't realize it!

Pfft! (She poked her friend in the shoulder.) Last I checked, there were no cameras at Undella Town. So I've seen you all natural. (She paused, and her tan cheeks warmed.) Terrible phrasing. The point is, I know how pretty you are. You can't be modest with me, Elly.

𝑮𝑰𝑽𝑬 𝑴𝑬 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰 𝑵𝑬𝑬𝑫—!@voltswitching.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Oh, stop. . . I just look presentable for the cameras. You're all natural. ( elesa twirled a hand around her hair, eyes looking off to the side with a giggle. )

"Rosa, you're crazy if you think I'd miss it."

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤@idyllicrose.bsky.social · 6mo ago

"Oh, Skyla!~ Do you plan on going to Undella Town this year?"

(Skyla giggled. She couldn't stop from lighting up around Elesa.) I mean, that's high praise from the most beautiful woman in Unova. I'm not even complimenting you. I think I saw that in a magazine.

𝑮𝑰𝑽𝑬 𝑴𝑬 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰 𝑵𝑬𝑬𝑫—!@voltswitching.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Hehe. . . If anything, you'd make their hearts soar—! ( she chuckled behind her hand. ) Besides, you know you're stunning.

Summer is so close, I can feel it on my skin. I'm ready to pack a bag and jet to the best beach I can find.
