āFishing at Lost Lake, trashing the popular kidsā cars, and playing in your shitty garage band are all things youād rather be doing than working a dead-end job that will probably keep you trapped in Pine Point for the rest of your life. Fortunately, you get to work alongside your best friend, Dimitri. Unfortunately, Dimitri is leaving town at the end of the summerā¦ and youāre notā

Since I lov pokemon so much,I felt like making headcanons(if I can call it that) for ramshackle characters if they had a pokemon parthner. I was gonna include more but I'm too tired to draw today,,,
Vinnie:
- I gave her a Scorbunny
- Vinnie 'n Scorbunny didn't rly get along at first(I imagine Scorbunny stealing beans from her cus it wants food too) but they eventually get along n help each other pickpocket others.
-I can see them winning a football match,, and even if they don't,they at least have fun playing and setting the ball on fire.
- Cinderace's(Scorbunny's final evo) reminded me of Vinnie.
-they give each other high five cus they're cool.
Stone:
- I gave him an Umbreon
- I imagine Stone having Umbreon b4 he ran away(at least I assume he ran away) and became a stinky homeless alcoholic. He had it since it was an Eevee.
-also,, Eevee evolves I to Umbreon during night and by leveling the friendship(key word ***friendship***. I think it'd be wholesome)
- STONE IS EMO. LET HIM HAVE A COOL EMO EEVEELUTION.
Skipp:
-I gave him Smeargle
- i don't have that many ideas on how they could've met,,but I assume they kinda just became friends? I don't think Skipp would mind Smeargle's company,,, I imagined them simply becoming friends cus they're silly n polite lil fellas.
-I DIDNT RLY HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR THEM. IM SORRY.
Other characters I was goin to include but ended up not doin that cus hhrrrrpp mimimiimi hrrrrppp mimimimi zzzzzzzz:
Avrille:
-I imagine her having a Lurantis
-LISTEN. LURANTIS IS CUTE. BUT ALSO. STRONG N COOL?BASED ON WHAT I KNO.I THINK IT FITS AVRILLE'S PERSONALITY IN A WAY???THERES JUST SMTH ABT IT THAT MAKES ME THINK THAT. IT HAS SHARP ARMS(?) YET ITS A VERY ELEGANT N GLAMOROUS GRASS POKEMON
- Lurantis also looks like a candy/candy store employee. AND ITS PINK!!
- they're lab parthners. I said what I said.
Maroon:
-I barely know anything abt her,so I had to use ramshackle wiki fandom for that.
-i can see her havin a Herdier or Stoutland (the wiki also mentions she's a bodyguard n MAYBE a former officer)
- they're parthners n help each other out in life threatening situations
- they're cool
Tre:
- honestly?dunno anything abt him either so I had to pull the ramshackle wiki again. But givin him a Lillipup just felt right.
-so silly.
Ditch:
-I wasn't gonna add him to the list,BUT GOD DAMN I'D GIVE HIM A YUNGOOS CUS I CANT STAND YUNGOOS.
i couldnāt resist the pull of a new indie animated cartoon, life is hard and i am but a weak soul
āØRamshackleāØ by Zeddyzi
-> why itās amazing and why you should watch it :D
sheās a mood fr
No.1: Vinnie is usually the first to panic
while none of trio are 'in charge' -nor should they be- Vinnie does take the lead more often than Skipp or Stone do {these two also tend to look at her before taking action, which is actually adorable} so it's pretty cool to see she's not oblivious to dangerous situations like her archetype tends to lean into
-> also Stone's totally contemplating breaking the window to get away from the pageant zombies
No.2: Stone is super protective, despite acting like he's not
but he does it in a way that doesnāt come across as thinking the other two are incapable, itās more like: you totally couldāve dealt with that, but im right here so you donāt have to
No.3: Skipp isnāt helpless, nor is he treated as such
this is really awesome bc trios typically have that one character thatās really bright and bubbly but thatās also often infantilised by both their peers and the fandom
-> Vinnie and Stone are totally confident in his feral capabilities though, and apart from briefly scolding him when it was necessary- they donāt treat Skipp like a child {which is an extremely refreshing change of pace}
No.4: āØFOUND FAMILYāØ
you got the black cat, doberman, and orange cat all in one with these silly guys!
+ stone's small smile when they fist bump, my heart!
No.5: The black cat is a softie
surprising absolutely no one, Stone has a hard time saying no to his family. that's not to say he can't express a boundary, like how he feels about physical touch, but he does let Vinnie and Skipp cling to him for brief intervals
-> he also is already accepting that Maggot's going to be a fixture from as soon as the other two are leaving the alley way
all in all, this pilot does a mind-blowing job of portraying archetypes in a new and refreshing way that doesn't feel forced
-> the animation style is beautiful, the characters are multifaceted and complex and it walks the line between silly and badass perfectly
definitely go watch the pilot on youtube!
and if you enjoyed this, let me know if there are other things you want me to analyze or give my thoughts on :D
ahhhhh i did this uhā¦. super corny sunflower comicā¦.. that turned way too huge in my head so i actually had to make it into a 4,1k wordcount fanficā¦ā¦ā¦ im not a writerā¦. too embarrassed to make an AO3 to post this or something so iāll leave it hereā¦ā¦ enjoyā¦ā¦.
46)Ā If they were to fall in love, who (or what) is their ideal?
Stone: Yikes lmao prolly someone heās already really close to because he sucks at making friends. Or maybe no one at all.
Tre: Idk at the beginning heād prolly āfallā for anyone once he realizes they have an interest in him hahaā¦but thatās not gonna happen because heās gotta realize that thereās more to life than being a police officer first (which is most likey never!!!)Ā
47)Ā How do they express love?
Stone: By drinkingā¦drinking a LOT more than usual.
Tre: He tries not to because love really confuses him but if he were to like someone heād prolly try really hard to write love letters and fail miserably and never ever send them lmaooo
if you were in Ramshackle, would you be a rich kid or a hobo?
While being a rich kids is definitely a benefit in the long run. But I am going with being hobo due to thrill of making allies and living a dangerously life lol^^!
Itās Ramshackle the beach filler episode ^^!š I have heard about this idea once on the Ramshackle discord sever and I am somewhat curious on how @zeddyzi going to write a episode which is beach related for these lovely characters. (Treasure hunt maybe?) Itās my first time drawing any character shirtless or in a swimsuit so I hope I do good enough lolš Anyway, have a great day ZiāØ!
So yeah, I kind of decided to draw a bit of sketches of the duo dynamic. This is my favorite ship in Ramshackle, which is Stone x Tre, then add some color and it turn into a better drawing than I thought. The name of the ship is Silver x Copper^^, the person come up with this name is Penhead on Ramshackle discord^^! The character belongs to the one and only @zeddyziā.
The video don't being long to me. @saiwestfieldĀ made it. I only do the voice acting, add background music and sound effect. You guys should check him at his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRPn...Ā Lot of fun voicing these two^^!
