📌 hi i'm myst, and this is my intro pin ‣ they/any, queer nonbinary catboygirlthing ‣ i'm an adult and apparently have been for a while. i know, i can't believe it either. ‣ currently hyperfixated on pokemon with a hardenshipping/magma+aqua focus. big fan of the other villain teams as well. my favorite pokemon is banette. ‣ this is a pokemon blog, but my other fandoms include twst, genshin, sonic, vocaloid, ace attorney, etc. sometimes i like to combine my interests in crossovers but don't expect to see these otherwise. ‣ big fan of studying my favs under a microscope and putting them in situations. part time shitposter. cornplating final boss. occasional artist who can't keep a consist style and wannabe writer. ‣ kinda freaky, sorry. while there won’t be anything explicit, there may the occasional suggestive jokes and scenarios.

really big fan of how jirachi holds significance to both oras and pokespe archie, but in VASTLY different ways. here's a bit of an older piece i wasn't planning on posting since i couldn't get it to look the way i wanted to, but i figured i'd dig it up since i was thinking about it again

[magmaquas]

very emotional thinking about how the very type of person (oras) archie was trying to protect jirachi from in pokemas is... another version of himself.

[magmaquas]

shoutout to my folder of nearly 250 saved files of pokespe panels featuring archie(/guile) and maxie that i just like to scroll through sometimes. i am very normal about them.

[magmaquas]

so i noticed that when sird tells archie and maxie that they have to fight to the death, maxie glances over at archie, while archie keeps looking forward. maxie's also noticeably sweating a lot more than archie is. it almost feels like... maxie's nervous, while archie's accepted it. one of them is going to die here and they both seem to be well aware that archie has the advantage.

[magmaquas]

thinking about archie and maxie's battle in the "walrein and camerupt" chapter of pokespe and how they're clearly just kind of... fucking around. it's a lot of talk and playing off the other's pokemon's abilities but neither of them are really trying. like oh, walrein's tusks can freeze the opponent? well camerupt has magma armor and can't be frozen. camerupt hits walrein with eruption? walrein has thick fat so fire type moves are less effective.

if he wanted to, archie, the leader of team aqua who specializes in water type pokemon, could have just made his walrein use a water type move on camerupt that it would be 4x weak to, but he doesn't. camerupt has a super effective coverage option against walrein in its gen 3 level up moveset in rock slide that it would have learned by the time it reaches the level needed to learn the move maxie actually has it using, eruption.

neither of them are trying to actually win this. they're just fucking flirting.

archie and maxie are both "my favs" but does it make sense if i say that maxie is my fav in my head, while archie is my fav in my heart? it's kinda funny that those designations suit them, too.

maxie is very fascinating to me. i want to study him under a microscope. i have a lot of specific headcanons for him compared to archie, and i tend to project onto him a lot. i often use him as my icon, and i tend to draw him more than archie (not that it's obvious in my art tag. i have a lot of doodles and unfinished things i haven't posted haha)

meanwhile, archie is very nostalgic for me. sapphire was the first pokemon game i ever played as a kid (back before emerald even came out, if that gives you an idea for how old i am, haha), and because of that i chose alpha sapphire back when oras was released. truthfully, he's a huge comfort character to me. i got him in pokemas shortly after i started playing and it's almost embarrassing how many times an interaction with him in this game has actually left me feeling better on a bad day.

it's hard to separate the two for me as favs because they're that intertwined to me, but if i really had to pick just one of them for my top fav, it's probably surprising that i might actually say archie!

[magmaquas]

of course

[magmaquas]

in my head, anime tabitha and oras courtney are siblings

[magmaquas]

men’s waists be so small like what do u need that small waist for? for other men to grab it? whore

[magmaquas]

denying it would only prove his point

[ariadosage]

Idea of the Maxie trio having nicknames so I don't have to type out the acronyms

Idk what to call pokespe Maxie but rse is matsubusa ( japanese name ) and Oras Maxie is just Maxie

[magmaquas]

you could pick another one of his names from a different language and use that for pokespe maxie!

i personally like to use his french name, which is just Max, because i like using arthur for pokespe archie due to the knight associations, and i wanted to stick to the same language names for both of the pokespe guys.

as a bonus, this led to the headcanon that max (pokespe) is short for maxwell, while maxie (oras) is short for maximilian.

[magmaquas]

"G-Max" is actually short for "Great Maxie"

[magmaquas]

i put archie and maxie’s rse sprites together and turned them into cross stitch :) i’m still pretty new to the craft but i’m super happy with them. it was very fun!!

[magmaquas]

You are red, violent red

doing my part to feed the pokespe hardenshipping tag on ao3 by putting guile through the horrors 🫡

[magmaquas]

forcing myself to become a writer because i have SO many ideas i need to make exist. but also because the number of hardenshipping fics that are Specifically for pokespe is sadly low and i NEED to fix that.

[magmaquas]

big fan of everything that's wrong with them
