IT’S OUT!!! I Had A Blast Making This Cover. Can’t Wait To Finally Start Posting Pages Haha.

Smth abt me and women

Me (ghost) and Condor cooked up a trainer AU for these two!! We have our own versions but it’s mostly the same kind of vibes/tone. Here they’re 17-18 going into college because boy do you get a nice 2-3 months of nothing after graduating (at least where I was).

I gave them a full party as well! Though not all of their Pokèmon are drawn here. The Altaria is wild though!

~ Here’s the teams I made for them listed down under the cut! ~

They’re not mono type and I would take all day explaining my choice But these just seem like fitting Pokemon for them (in my personal opinion)

Archie’s team

Maxie’s team

Goofy names my beloved :) definitely a bit of theming in them too! Though I didn’t really get in too deep for them. I they Also do have their Canon party member that aren’t here, the Poochyenas/Mightyenas are somewhere in their hometowns and Muk and Weezing is for another post (that I hopefully will make!)

Isa and Val!!! Revealing my blorbos to the world!!!

They're essentially my takes on May and Brendan + whatever story I made based on my recent AS and Emerald playthrough. Their names are based on their ingame names I gave haha.

They're both rangers in training and are basically besties. Isa is more rambunctious and ambitious (attention seeking sometimes) and Val is the more lowkey (massive nerd) and quiet (he looks at u with his big ol eyes)

There's an entire story I've got in mind for both of them following the Emerald game, which will be for another day :)

Owner introduction: Ghost

Heya!! I’m ghost and I draw a lot of my OCs. This blog is our OCs 90% of the time, to be honest.

I go by she/they :)

I’ll likely post low quality silly doodles. Sometimes finished stuff. I can be quite busy!

Not that it’ll stop me from posting, wether you like it or not :]

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?

this is made in like ten minutes but I felt the need to share it because I am Archie and somehow this keeps happening to me

Team magma exclusive post

I have a lot of headcanons for them that I will someday explain maybe :]

Family photos I cooked up because why not, also consider: Drake/Briney. Okay bye.

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
