You like diamondshipping because you think it would be funny if Delia had a criminal boyfriend when she was younger.

I like diamondshipping because I think it would be funny if Silver had a significantly more powerful brother who looked just like Giovanni (dark hair+eyes) but acted nothing like him.

We are not the same.

Fankidtober Day 11: Gabriele Campanella

Gabe is Giovanni & Archer's son, though he's raised by Gio and his ex-ex fling Delia in Unova. Wanting to be a chip off the block, he's a cat loving Gym Leader, bringing the heat of fire types to Castelia City.

A complicated family 🥴

[mjrtaurus]

I think the funniest thing about the "Giovanni is Ash's dad" debacle is that if Ash ever figured it out it would just be

[chipsncookies]

Okay hear me out

This is assuming Silver and Ash are Gio and Delia's kids, and that Silver is older than Ash by a couple of years. Also assuming this is an amalgamation of the pokespe universe where Silver got kidnapped and the anime where Ash sees the Ho oh.

Imagine the fear that Giovanni and Delia must have felt when Ash told them he saw a Ho oh when he set out on his journey...

Just the pure "No. Not this again. PLEASE, not this again." That hit them.

Ooh ash and silver as brothers is cute ^^ although i don't really understand sorry, why are gio and delia scared?

I was reading about “Pokemon Live!” and woW. That was a wild ride. Forgive me for the horribly OOC sketches, but I couldn’t get these ideas out of my head.

SPONTANEOUS ASK favorite crackship and why???

genuinely have been thinking about this so hard since i received it. like i've never really thought to RANK crackships before - and tbh, half my actual ride-or-die otp-tier ships are arguably crackships by SOMEONE'S standards

...ok now that i'm typing this out, i've realized the obvious answer here. it's adonis x adrienne. they're just so fucking funny. step-father adonis to nerissa and poseidon? hilarious. adrienne calling avery homophobic slurs for having a crush on her and then turning around 20 years later and getting with her brother? absolutely unhinged behaviour. adonis continuing to defend his abusive wife while entering into a mid-life situationship with his little sister's childhood best friend? so insane it loops into being in-character. adrienne cannot stand in the same room as him for 2 seconds without wanting to punch him in the face. adonis has no spine whatsoever but he's also going to try to dictate her political beliefs. like theres just so much potential in those two.

that being said, i know this ask is actually about pokemon ships deep down. so sorry for derailing with my ocs. let me come up with a pokemon crackship for posterity.

GENERALLY speaking, pokemon crossover concepts are fucking incredble. e.g. silver and ash is a dynamic i've seen a few times that always just makes me sjkdfghjkdfjghk also, a lot of things that really SHOULD be considered crackships are actually just. weirdly popular ships in this fandom (rivalcrush immediately springs to mind. like who conceived of this and why. how did it become so widely loved. i have so many questions that i frankly do not want answered). then you have your pokemon ships too right. krazy is another ship i feel just. slapped me in the face when i discovered how genuinely popular it is. the huge library of ash x pikachu fics that were. hilariously. so much more popular pre-dp when a lot of people still headcanoned ash's pikachu as female. like no one is doing normalized crack like the pokemon fandom.

anyway. having said all that. while pokemon live obviously gave us the gem that is diamondshipping, it also gave us something else. the absolutely unparalleled giovanni professor oak dynamic. so after a lot of thought - that's my answer. but like, EXCLUSIVELY in the context of pokemon live. or the delia inclusive polycule. thank you for coming to my ted talk

If I could rewrite the Pokémon anime.

All of the main characters up to XY are a little feral. Even if they weren’t before, they’ve been living in the woods for so long that they've adjusted to the chaos. The S&M kids don’t know what to make of it.

Aura gets foreshadowed the minute Ash leaves Pallet. It still only gets confirmed in the Lucario movie, but it’s obvious from day one that there’s something weird about him. Also, I think it would be funny if (until Lucario came along) he adamantly refused to believe in aura outside of certain Pokémon moves. You know, while he’s actively understanding Pokéspeak and sending out unintentional waves of aura.

Personalities are more consistent. All the 4Kids era characters have a bit of an edge to them while all of the game import characters are more accurate to their game counterparts.

Diamondshipping and Silverspawnshipping are both real. Replace Paul with Silver. Let the shitfuckening begin.

Make some serious changes to Serena’s character arc. I wouldn’t kill Amourshipping outright, but I’d make it less clunky and uncomfortable. Everyone wins.

Give Bonnie and Clemont more screentime.

Instead of Ash being brainwiped for S&M, make him a mix of his sassy Indigo and serious XY incarnations, with a bit of trauma from the Kalos crisis. I just think it would be really funny to put that kind of character into the slice of life school setting of S&M.

Change Goh a bit. He’s wonderful, but he’s a little messy and I think his Suicune privileges should be revoked. Maybe instead of catching every Pokémon he sees with no issue, he trains his Pokémon so that they’re strong enough to take on Mew. Also let it slip that Ash has actually met Mew, because that could be funny as hell.

Let Chloe be part of the squad for real.

I see this and I raise you:

Ash not even knowing Gio's his dad until he and Delia see each other in passing during one of his Evil Schemes™️.

"G-... Gianni?"

"Dee?"

Ash:

So everyone and their mother who’s in the pokemon fandom know about the Giovanni is Ash’s dad thing and while it’s canonically not true can you imagine how funny it would be if it was?

Like imagine how Team Rocket would react once they realize the kid they’ve been chasing for so long turns out to be their bosses kid

[diamondshipping]

diamondshipping goes either 2 ways

Case A [FFN Fanon]: giovanni is irredeemable and the narrative makes it sound like they were a thing but it was unhealthy(TM) relationship and they had to distance from each other

Case B [Tumblrina]: they literally have the most awkward tension when seeing each other in public, but nonetheless they still have a fondness for each other thats kinda silly but very sweet (also more silver and ash shenanigans)
