Everyday My Brain Jsut Goes… DRAW OLD WOMEN YURI And One Day I Will Bend To My Own Will… Just When

teacher Maxie is real???

My Maxie bloodline headcanons. I like to think Maxie's grandparents were in Sinnoh, his parents moved to Hoenn, and Maxie was born and raised in Hoenn

Week’s been a bit rough but thank goodness for me procrastinating on watching Atla for like 70 years this shit slaps. Anyways. Pretty straightforward post, I have brainworms and I made an AU :]

also made the other two elements w/ my takes on May and Brendan that I’ll yap about sooner or later…

Tabitha and Archie with that dark type energy ass cut i am so sorry I can’t unsee it so many PKMN characters have it

GUYS ALL THE ANIME CONCEPT ART AND CHARACTER SHEETS WERE LEAKED TOO. I WENT THROUGH THE 16 MINUTE VIDEO ON TWITTER AND GOT ALL THE AQUA/MAGMA ONES!!!! ALL UNDER THE CUT!!!

ARCHIE HAIRLINE REVEAL??? FOR THE FIRST TIME IN EVER????

SHELLY AND TABITHA HAIRLINE REVEAL TOO??? that is NOT what I thought his hair looked like...

I CANT FIT THE GRUNT SHEETS ON HERE SO I'LL REBLOG WITH THOSE!!!!

been working on redesigning the elemental monkeys just to try and see what makes them hated in comparison to any other monkey pokemon

i think they just look very un-monkey like in proportion but they also just lack the vibes that make monkeys charming and that’s probably the issue idk

along with not looking different enough from each other so i plan on giving them all different shapes and proportions

also used beta simisage’s tail because i like it better

OH MY GOD

Sorry for this one

Archie and Maxie related headcanons I’ve had for a while

I have more than these that are closer to game info but unfortunately they are spoilers for my emerald comic. I want to ramble about them regardless so have like loose thoughts and stuff that’ll never get explored properly in said story lol. Some are hardenshipping and (very little tbh) team related stuff as well :)

Archie grew up somewhere near slateport, and spent a lot of time at sea with his adoptive father, Mr. Briney

Archie, Shelly, and Matt are basically siblings, they met as children and lived alongside/near each other up until they did their respective studies.

Maxie grew up and lived in Fallarbor town, his mother is a businesswoman that visits every month, while his father is a local street chef. He learnt how to cook some really good recipes but his cooking skills are limited to those dishes.

He was at one point Courtney's brother figure, he kind of still is but both are a little too caught up on work to properly hang out like they did.

Tabitha is the most emotionally intelligent of the magmas, he’s the HR guy with a psychology degree.

as much as he doesnt want to show or admit to it, Maxie has a mischievous streak. He's capable of making logically and morally questionable decisions (as seen in games). Most of the time he's prepared with an elaborate excuse, though.

Archie's cheerfulness is genuine, but he's got a lot of spite and real cold bitterness in that heart and if he feels like its necessary, he will let you know.

Archie has little spice tolerance, Maxie found out about this when he cooked for him at some point in the past

Archie and Maxie share an interest and taste in jazz, especially instrumental ones. Archie learned to piano at some point in his school life, and Maxie is decent at the violin

They met pre-college. That three-four month break before attending college was absolutely bonkers for them and you can say they had a pokemon adventure of their own

that point is when they grew their teams, became pretty damn good trainers, and became good friends.

They got together a few years into college

due to some unprecedented events a good 4-5 years into work (like age range wise about 27-28ish) and differing opinions on how to move forward from said events, they broke up. For the better, allegedly.

Maxie's love for ground types, similarly to Archie stems from loving his hometown and the place he grew up in. Yeah its dry and hot and somewhat unfriendly but it's familiar. Also Numels are just cute.

Archie can drive a boat, he's got a good intuition and can basically predict weather, mostly based on observations of how the wild pokemon are acting. He also has a pretty good grasp on memorizing places and usually can tell where they are in the ocean.

Archie has little to no memory of his biological family, but he eventually understands tgat he's most likely from pacifidlog, and that it doesn't really matter because he's got a perfectly good dad right there.

Archie and Maxie had to deal with long distance at some point, back when they didn't have advanced Pokenavs with good signal tech. Because they think it's kinda fun and sweet, Archie and Maxie communicated through letters. Peeko delivered them.

Maxie dresses masc in a way that he kind of only has two modes: Asian father and Business work man. He can have a sense of fashion but he barely explored that front and at present time prefers to be more practical.

Archie on the other hand is more creative and explores several styles. He sticks to blue most of the time, though.

i dont provide much contribution here nor good quality heres an OC post see you next year

okay weird question for the hardenshipping community

how do y’all handle maxie’s motivations? specifically in the case of his oras version. i know they were going really hard for an Extreme Opposites thing with him and archie in oras but the “doesn’t care at all about pokemon” vibe rubs me the wrong way, especially when his rse version referred to the land as the cradle of life for both humans and pokemon

like. i love maxie but as a nature/animal lover myself i struggle with his motivations sounding like that of a ceo of an oil drilling company lmao

(I also don’t like the implication that science and nature are Fully Opposed and are mutually exclusive but that’s neither here nor there)

so do you guys tweak his motivations in your headcanons? if so, how?
