My issue with GMing is once the novelty of the new idea wears off, I have no idea what to do next, and everyone is looking at me to progress the narrative.

I still haven’t watched TLOK. It’s on my long list of shows and movies to binge.
Bio
Gay, he/him, Autistic
I’m Crimson Flame and I’m addicted to RPing. But sometimes ADHD kicks in, and it takes me longer to reply to things than it should. If I’m taking too long to respond, feel free to say something. Just don’t be rude about it.
There are a bunch of RPs I like. Pokémon, Digimon, Fantasy, Superhero, it would take too long to list them all. I’m not a fan of Horror or Apocalypse settings though.
I have a particular type of character I like making. Look through my Character Sheet thread, and see if you notice what a lot of my characters have in common. roleplayerguild.com/topics/182450-cri…
Valerian scratched his chin in thought as they strolled. He had to think about his answer to Amelia’s question. “I suppose… I wanted to prove something,” he said softly. “Not just to my family or the world, but to myself. Everyone knows me as ‘His Highness,’ and yes, I do enjoy the attention, the glamour, the privilege. But it’s hard to know if people see me.” He looked down at the Pokéball in his hand, then glanced at Amelia with a rare moment of sincerity. “When you’re born into a crown, your path is already written. But this journey? This is mine.”
And then the Phantump jumped out, and Valerian screamed. Not a dignified yelp. Not a startled gasp. A high pitched, absolutely undignified, startled shriek. He spun around, one hand clutching his chest, the other dramatically bracing himself against a nearby lamppost. “By the blessed branches of Xerneas!” he gasped. “What unholy trickery is that?!”
Aurelia Rose was completely unbothered by this. She flew up to the Phantump, and booped him on the forehead with one of her legs.
“You—!” he pointed an accusing finger, and then promptly turned back to Amelia. “Is he always like this?!” But there was no real malice in his voice. Exasperation, absolutely. But even through the theatrics, he seemed more rattled than angry. He straightened his posture, brushing off his jacket like the moment hadn’t happened. “Well. I suppose some ghosts have to keep up appearances.”
After taking a breath, he returned back to her original question. “And what about you? You don’t strike me as the Gym Challenge type.”

Valerian blinked at her quietly. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. No one ever questioned him like that. Or if they did, they certainly didn’t do it while looking at the ground like they might be vaporized for the offense. “I… suppose that’s a fair point,” he said after a pause. “It is a little barbaric when you say it like that.” He looked down at the Pokéball in his hand. “But as I understand it, battling is a part of being a trainer. Some Pokémon won’t even speak to you unless you prove yourself. I wasn’t hurting her, I was challenging her. Testing compatibility so to speak.” He held the ball up slightly. “And I think she understood. She fought back, after all.”
When she asked if he was actually royalty, Valerian looked back over with an amused smile. “Well, I don’t expect anyone to bow or curtsy in my presence if that’s what you’re worried about.” He said with a chuckle. “It’s not like I’m going to have you thrown in a dungeon for being honest. I’m not that kind of prince.”
Her next words hit him hard. He looked visibly uncomfortable. “I… Yes. I did say that. About Aurelia Rose.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “Not one of my best moments… I’m not exactly comfortable with Bugs… I’m still not… But she’s… grown on me.”
Aurelia Rose buzzed proudly at his side, as if she’d known all along that he would come around.
Valerian tilted his head when she made her naming suggestion. “Hm… Yes… But I can’t just name her Lily. That would be too obvious. How about, Camellia? Not a lily, exactly. But it still fits the garden theme. And it’s elegant.” He paused. “Thank you,” he added, after a beat.

Valerian beamed the moment the Pokéball clicked shut. He rushed over, picked it up delicately, and held it up as if he’d just won the Grand Festival. “Victory! You see that, Aurelia Rose? Precision. Grace. Timing. And not once did we compromise our standards.”
Aurelia Rose buzzed approvingly, though she seemed more interested in circling the Pokéball like a curious sibling meeting the new baby.
Valerian turned his full attention to the girl now that the battle was done. “You witnessed that, yes?” he said with a smile. “A dazzling display of Fairy-type style and grace. Our opponent didn’t stand a chance!” He paused, then added with a little humility, “Though I suppose the Petilil held her own. She’s earned the honor of joining our team.”
“I don’t believe we were properly introduced earlier,” he said, stepping toward her with all the calm elegance of someone who had not had a minor meltdown over receiving a Bug-type. “You were at the lab, yes? With the Phantump?” He nodded toward her companion, giving the Ghost-type a polite smile. “Charming, in a spooky, woodland sort of way. I am Prince Valerian Hardrada. Of the Hardrada royal line.”
He didn’t quite wait for her to respond before continuing. “As much as I’d love to chat longer here, I’m afraid I’ve just completed a rather taxing battle. Emotionally, more than physically. And my team could use a touch of professional care. Would you care to walk with me to the Pokémon Center?” He tilted his head slightly, offering his most princely smile. “You seem like the thoughtful type. I wouldn’t mind the company.”
With Aurelia Rose fluttering just behind him, still gripping the freshly caught Petilil’s Pokéball, and racking his brain about what to nickname his new Pokémon, Valerian began heading down the path toward the Center.
