explorers of the magma caverns

[beastomato]

just drew these two critters from memoryyyyy

bonus sketch comic below. from my blue rescue team playthrough:

[kindlyfunkn]

Mine is the dense biozone, i love the unique plant-life (especially the big leaves that lift you up) + the big brain rocks, also the colour scheme is the most pleasing to me and it's cool when you dig and the dirt has red and blue on different facets it makes it look shimmery.

ALSO also the winding pits I like traveling up and down them making paths on the sides (also the thrill of one wrong move, and i plummet to my doom (THOSE WALLS ARE SLIPPERY)).

Considering everything that happens in the fugitives arc, do Bonnie and Tangerine ever think about moving?

Because on the one hand, yeah, it's their base! They shouldn't have to leave again! On the other hand... there's always the chance to get a fresh start somewhere. Together.

They did consider it for a while, once they got back. Mostly for Bonnie. Tangerine had lived in Pokémon Square for years and while they are disappointed with everything that happened... well, they both still need to rest so there's time to think about it.

But the earthquakes are still going on... and Gardevoir told Bonnie that she has a role here, apparently? maybe the team can hang around for bit. They do this one mission at Uproar Forest that they've been putting off and Bonnie realizes—she's missed this, actually. Going on missions together and being appreciated for a job well done. She thought curling up inside with Tangerine would be enough for her forever but. oh what is this? she wants to do things outside? with people?

She brings this up with her partner because Bonnie is doing her very best to share her feelings, and Tangerine is SO relieved. man, they didn't want to move. They both decide to wait for now, see what happens, and how they feel.

And then a few hours later they are already planning on remodeling their base lol. maaaybe Tangerine decided that on their own—Bonnie doesn't call them out for it.

Post-game they think about it again, maybe Baram Town? Tangerine can't live isolated, so living for long in the wild won't happen unless it's close by. tbh though I can't see them leaving permanently.

A dragon came, set fire to the goblin siege - lmao - and all of the woods above my fort.

We live pretty comfortably underground, and we have a walled garden patch for plants and grazer animals.

But raaaah the constant "brrrha" sound of "Something collapsed on the surface!" as everything is aflame, and also RIP my frame rate lol.

[new-eyes-extra-colors]

realized i hadn't actually posted any fic snippets of eots with my boy maxie in them so here he is

also. i think groudon and kyogre should be scarier. as a treat.

“Maxie,” she says, tugging gently on his hand. He stops and turns partway around, glancing at her briefly, and follows the direction of her flashlight beam across the cavern to the spot where it illuminates a small x on the rock wall, drawn in white chalk.

“Again?” he mutters.

“This is the third time,” May says, voice high and tremulous, “that we’ve been through here. Every single one of these exits just, I don’t know, loops back here somehow.” She gives him a look that’s halfway between critical and pleading, and he holds her gaze steadily, expression neutral. “Have you seen the passageway that leads back to the entrance? Because it should be right behind us, but we got here through that turn.” She points ahead with her flashlight, to the branch of the cave that heads off to the left. “I mean, how does that even make sense? Coming through the same exit four times from four different directions?”

He turns away, falling silent for a moment. The cavern echoes with the quiet sound of water dripping from somewhere nearby; of Maxie tapping his foot. His hand is warm in hers, and she realizes she’s squeezing it. It’s selfish, but she’s too afraid to let go.

“I think,” he says evenly, “that this is normal.”

She takes a deep breath. “Normal.”

He nods once. “Relatively speaking, of course. But I’ve seen something similar to this before, back at our base.”

She frowns up at him. “I thought that was an abandoned mine?”

He catches her gaze again briefly. “Why do you think it as abandoned? People thought it was haunted, and when they couldn’t find out what was haunting it, they abandoned the project rather than stick around and risk irritating something powerful enough to rearrange a cave system at will.” He looks around the cavern briefly, flashlight beam skating across dripping stalactites on the ceiling. “You have to remember the scale of power we’re dealing with, here. A reasonably powerful psychic-type could achieve something similar to this, and people used to worship Kyogre as a god.”

Maxie’s words hang in the still air for a moment, and May shifts back and forth on her aching feet. She turns and looks behind them, but there’s nothing there except the dark passageway they just walked through.

“You think Kyogre’s doing this.”

“Not doing,” he corrects. “Well. Maybe doing, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a conscious control.” He takes a deep breath. “Obviously, I’m not sure. But have you ever seen anything like this before? Since Groudon… left, we’ve been able to map the entire mine and the cave structure it intersects with. We tried several times before, of course, but were never able to do that successfully while they were still there.”

I miss Volcano Dungeon already. That one is sooo fun, I made sure to turn off the mod during then cuz of how much I love it. I've fond memories of that place. I loooove taking it on underprepared with only cave carrots and mushrooms and some bombs to in my inventory.

You: “You did what?”

Fire Spirit Cookie: “I’m telling you, some strange Cookie tried to disrupt the fire and magma deep below the earth. That mine you have over there was one of the ways they can interfere with the lava flows.”

Dumpling Cookie: “I have reports that you and this Cookie weren’t the only ones down there..?”

Fire Spirit Cookie: “Listen, I was too busy with a Cookie on my back to notice anyone else that was down there. If they were, they’re probably lost to the caverns or cooked by the lava.”

You: “Dumpling, get me a platoon of both Cookies and Waffle Bots ready. This just became a search and rescue.”

Fire Spirit Cookie: “You’re really going to waste your time with this?”

You: “That mine is part of my kingdom, it’s my responsibility to bring any potential lost Cookies home.

Fire Spirit Cookie: “That mirror Cookie could come back, you know…”

You: “Better than another Beast…”

Beneath the bedrock

Okay this is my first fic, it’s Garrett and Steve from the Minecraft movie so yea. Pls feedback 👍

Steve wiped the sweat from his brow as he placed the last block of deep slate in his underground base. It had been a long day of mining, and he was exhausted—but satisfied. The dim glow of redstone torches flickered against the cavern walls, casting shadows over his chiseled form. His diamond armor clinked softly as he stretched, rolling his shoulders.

Then, a voice echoed from the tunnel behind him.

"Well, well, look who’s been busy."

Steve smirked before even turning around. He knew that voice anywhere. Garrett.

The rogue miner sauntered forward, his dark cloak brushing against the stone. Unlike Steve, who prided himself on clean builds and careful mining, Garrett was reckless—always digging where he shouldn’t, tempting lava flows, breaking the rules of the world. And Steve hated how much that excited him.

Garrett leaned against a crafting table, arms crossed. "Didn’t think you’d be this deep underground."

Steve arched an eyebrow. "I could say the same about you."

Garrett chuckled, stepping closer. "You know me. I like to go deep."

There was a heat in Garrett’s gaze that had nothing to do with the nearby magma blocks. Steve felt it coil low in his stomach, a fire hotter than the Nether itself. They had danced around this tension for weeks, always running into each other in the most unexpected places—an abandoned mineshaft, the End, once even at a village raid. Each time, the air crackled between them, thick with unspoken words and something darker.

Garrett reached out, tugging at the strap of Steve’s armor. "You planning to keep this on all night?"

Steve exhaled sharply, his grip tightening around his pickaxe before he tossed it aside. "Depends. You gonna give me a reason to take it off?"

Garrett smirked, his fingers trailing down Steve’s chest plate, finding the hidden clasps with ease. "I can think of a few."

The armor hit the floor with a heavy thud, leaving Steve bare beneath the dim redstone glow. Garrett’s breath hitched slightly, but he covered it with another cocky grin.

"You really do spend too much time mining," Garrett murmured, his hands mapping the ridges of Steve’s muscles like he was memorizing the terrain. "Bet you’re all pent up."

Steve growled low in his throat. "Why don’t you find out?"

Garrett wasted no time. His hands, calloused from years of breaking stone and wielding weapons, slid lower, mapping every scar and ridge of Steve’s body. Steve shuddered, pressing back against the cold stone wall as Garrett’s mouth found his neck, lips tracing a path downwards, each kiss igniting another spark of pleasure.

"Fuck," Steve hissed as Garrett bit down, just hard enough to leave a mark.

Garrett chuckled against his skin. "Relax, Steve. I’ll make sure you respawn if I break you."

Steve gritted his teeth, yanking Garrett against him. "Cocky bastard."

"You love it," Garrett whispered, before sinking to his knees.

And Steve? He could only groan, gripping the edge of the crafting table, ready to let Garrett wreck him as thoroughly as a Creeper in a wooden house.

Hope yall liked it 🤝

LAIRON + MAGCARGO

FIRE / ROCK

IT FEEDS ON THE MAGMA OF THE FIERY CAVERNS IT CALLS HOME. THEY DISCARD THEIR OLD PLATES PERIODICALLY TO FORM NEW ARMOR, SOMETIMES DONATING THEM TO THEIR YOUNGER BRETHREN TO HELP THEM SURVIVE.

[solarcanic]

Maxie keeps a model boat that matches with the one in Archie's base, and takes such good care of it, that not even a spec of dust taints it, which could mean nothing.

Maxie refers to Archie as a friend and a rival, but never an enemy, and simply states they chose different paths, which could mean nothing.

In Masters, Maxie revealed part of why he keeps the rivalry going is because he knows Archie likely feels just as dedicated to his ideals, and wants to take his feelings into account, which could mean nothing.

In AniPoke, Maxie stayed on the island until Archie regained consciousness, even being seen standing behind Shelly and Archie, wanting to see if he's alright, even after Archie tried to drown the island under Kyogre's heavy influence, which could mean nothing.

In Alpha Sapphire, even when Archie was the one who awakened Kyogre, Maxie subtly refused to let him take all the blame acknowledging his own ideals faults (with words like our and we) + in the AS Delta Episode, Archie is shown to overtly blame himself, even when it's partially others fault... which could mean nothing.

The Magma grunt stating they used to be on the same team together, implying they used to be on good terms, and Maxie likely knew and cared for Archie (and likely still does), given Maxie's goal to help humanity would've always included Archie, which could mean nothing.

How in the Seafloor Cavern scene, Archie said he wished at least Shelly would understand, which implies that he feels misunderstood often, and how Maxie disagrees, but never once misreads Archie's intentions or methods, and shows an active desire to take Archie's feelings into account, which could mean nothing.

"You could have warned me!" With Harvey? 💛

Finally trying my hand at writing the doc <3

......

"There are monsters in the volcano that spit fire??? You could have warned me! Had I know you were going to venture there I-!"

"Harvey, honey, it wasn't that bad-"

"Then what's this second degree burn I am treating, hm?" The doctor simply gave you a semi-scolding look as he bandaged your bicep. You got a nasty burn from a mischievous Lava Lurker who caught you by surprise while exploring the volcano dungeon on Ginger Island.

You thought you deflected all of the beast's fireballs, but alas one managed to slip by your defenses and nearly scorch your skin off.

At the time it didn't hurt, although of course when your boyfriend asked if you were okay after leaving the dungeon....it began hurting like a bitch, and he had you rushed back to town to get it fully examined.

It made you feel a little bad, knowing Harvey just wanted to spend a relaxing day at the resort--even though you had to remind him that his worry over people stepping on glass or not applying sunscreen defeated the whole purpose of his "vacation."

You helped ground him, but at the same time became the reason he was gonna get a few extra grey hairs pretty soon. He learned you went to the volcano and found not only Slimes...but more monsters like flying fireballs, living mushrooms, and other creepy creatures.

He doesn't know how you could face any of them. He surely couldn't and wouldn't.

This was the first time you've come to his clinic with burns this severe.

"First the mines, then the skull caverns..and now this?" Harvey shuddered, overlooking your other injuries with profound worry. "And here I was..worried that you'd be coming out with heatstroke. What's in that volcano anyways?"

"A forge to enchant my weapons." You answered, gesturing to your weapon propped against the wall. "The dwarf living there told me all about it. I had to get past all ten floors to access the gate, slay some magma creatures for the guild, use my watering can to make bridges across the lava...oh, and I found a dragon tooth made of iridium among...."

"......"

"Harvey, I know that look..." Sighing, you brushed a hand over the bandages he placed on you, before gazing back at him. "I promise I don't let monsters go after me on purpose."

"[Y/n]. I just...I want you to be safe out there." He wringed his hands together, feeling his heart pounding in his chest. "All these injuries will add up...and they will take a toll on your body. And if it happens when you're in a bad place where I can't help you, then I...I-I just....I don't know what I'll-"

"Harvey."

You rested a hand on his knee, causing your poor boyfriend to jolt out of his ramblings in fright, seeing his wide-eyed stare and hints of tears gathering behind his glasses.

It made you feel all the more guilty for stressing him out this much. You honestly don't mean to.

"I know my limits better now thanks to you, and I always pack life elixirs before going into any monster-infested cave." You gave him a reassuring smile, taking his hands into yours. "I won't let anything bad happen to me, okay?"

"...okay, as long as you're keeping your word, I..I trust you." Harvey shakily returned the smile, his ahoulders relaxing. He was glad you were taking his advice.

Of course, he couldn't convince you to abandon spelunking and monster hunting altogether. He'd feel terrible for even suggesting that when it's been such a strong passion of yours since moving into the valley.

He only hopes that whatever you do in that scary dungeon, you carry it out with extreme caution.

Yoba only knows how devastated he'd be if you winded up in the emergency room again..in worse shape than last time.
