Hello!! Ive been in various fandom spaces for...most of my life probobly. For the past few years, ive been in and out of the pokemon fandom, fixation stronger each time around. Most recently my attention has been caught by Burgh, the bug type gym leader from Black and White. No big deal, right? Just another man for my pile.
nay ☝️<pretend this finger is wagging
(More below the cut, shortening this so I can make it my pinned post lmao)
There are zero pokemon cards for Burgh. There is absolutely no official merchandise for burgh. Okay, less popular character, but fandom will have my back, right?
NAY AGAIN! While there are a couple people who post for Burgh, and who I majorly respect for it, he is still a wildly unpopular character. It is easy to go through all content of him within a day.
Fanfiction included.
^ Keep in mind most of these he is simply a background character, if i filtered for ones he was the focus of there would be WAY less.
But the worst thing, my friends. The worst thing of all. Is that I ship him with Brassius. Absolutely perfect combination, made on a platter. And im not the first to come up with it either, no! There are a handful of posts throwing the idea around. Even 2 drawings with them interacting. But this is the first time ive ever encountered a ship with no name. My first true rarepair in all my years of fandom.
So why am I posting about it, you may ask? to complain? NO!!! I am announcing that I am going to make this ship my ENTIRE PERSONALITY. for AT LEAST A MONTH. HOPEFULLY LONGER.
I will make the fanfics that are lacking, I will draw the fanart. And most importantly, I WILL MAKE THE SHIP NAME!
Ahem. I propose that Brassius x Burgh henceforth be known as
Naturestudy Shipping
(Plaintext: Naturestudy shipping)
This follows pokemon ship name conventions and cuts to the root of the pair, pun intended. If you, reader, have any other suggestions, I would love to hear about them.
I will also be shipping EphemeralNatureStudy shipping, a poly ship for Brassius Burgh and Hassel.
I will be aquiring a DS and buying black and white/black 2 white 2 so I can play the game and experience Burgh myself (the wiki isnt enough, I must do field research.)
If ANYBODY OUT THERE is interested in talking about Burgh or about Naturestudy shipping, PLEASE REACH OUT. I am going to rope as many people into this as I can.
