#you messed up little idiot

[erigold13261]

Sorry in advance if I come off as rude, but can you tell me why you ship each member of 1010 with their S/Os? (You have great taste, and your takes are unique!) Have a great day/evening!

Absolutely not rude what-so-ever! I'm happy to talk about my little ship ideas and junk! Glad you are interested! You also have a great whatever-time-it-is-for-you! :D

(Also I will say, all of these ships are the ones that are for the standard OG versions of 1010. Depending on AU, I actually ship the 1010s with different people!)

Rin:

For Rin, I ship it with Zuke, mainly because of the fandom actually lol. I will say that Rin is probably my least favorite 1010 and Zuke is someone I never really truly care for until later on. Even with that I think the two are very kind and sweet, both being fairly laid back and relaxed until their siblings annoy them over the edge.

It also helps that I see them both as sex-averse asexuals (or -repulsed or whatever the term is used, I personally use sex-repulsed but I know others don't like that term because it puts sex in a negative light). So they just really find comfort in each other.

Basically their relationship is just pretty basic but wholesome, supportive, and loving. The only times I see them as having issues is when Rin and Purl get into fights and Rin is in the wrong (which happens actually quite a lot).

Purl-hew:

Purl is in a very open relationship with DK West and the lead singer of Ex-Jay (Cyril). The three date each other in a triangle and then have hook-ups with randoms on the side. Purl is the most active in hook-ups, then West, and sometimes Cyril will go out with a random person but he usually just dates Purl and West.

Now my reasoning for shipping these three can vary depending on the day, but the most consistent reasoning I have is them being enemies to acquaintances to kinda-friends to friends with benefits to "oh no I have feelings! Better push them away" to lovers.

Purl is the main reason West and Ex-Jay's music careers kinda fell short/stagnated. West and Ex-Jay ended up becoming friends thanks to Bunk Bed Junction, which made them have to interact with 1010 at times. West and Cyril basically bullied/teased Purl a lot for them ruining their music careers while 1010 pushed Purl to apologize.

It was just a mess of repressed emotions and isolation on Purl's part which ended in them having a small breakdown causing their vulnerability to be seen by West or Cyril, depending on the way I want the story to go. But either way showing this vulnerability is what caused Purl to start becoming friends with West and Cyril (also Ex-Jay).

Drugs and alcohol get in the mix later on pushing Purl to start separate relations with West and Cyril, which later turned out to them catching feelings for the other two. Then comes the trope of Purl pushing everyone away because they feel like they can't love properly and so they hurt the ones they love to not feel more pain in the future, until they are confronted by Zuke to finally just open up and stop being an emotionally constipated idiot.

In the end these three really are just a whole mess of problems. They are definitely not healthy when they first start officially dating, definitely have problems moving forward, but they communicate and help each other and just end up in a really good position for all three of them.

Zimelu:

I will say that at first I shipped these two just because of their looks. Both are very beautiful to me and that was my main reason I liked them together.

As I explored their relationship in my head though, I liked the idea of them being just friends at first. Probably because Eve was trying to get Purl some friends but it was actually Zimelu who hit it off with Celine and not Purl (those two do end up being friends at some point, but in the beginning it was Zimelu and Eve that were the only reason Purl hung out with Celine)

Zimelu definitely has a crush at first but doesn't feel like she is Celine's type because when they first met Zimelu was still identifying as a man and Celine identified as a lesbian. Though it was Mayday and Celine who helped Zimelu figure out she was actually a woman. Which only made Zimelu fall harder for Celine (while also developing a small crush on May).

Thankfully Celine saw Zimelu as the woman she was and started to develop feelings for her as well. They kept their friendship up at first, not really knowing of each other's crush and trying not to push too fast in fear of ruining something before it even starts. After some time though, Purl is able to help Celine and Zimelu break the bubble and officially start dating! (Depending on things either Zimelu and Celine are the first to start dating, or Rin and Zuke are).

Haym:

Haym🤝Mayday🤝Eve: Bisexuals.

Okay, so May and Haym are dating, and May and Eve are dating. Eve and Haym are not dating. So it's like a corner/angle type thing instead of a triangle.

May and Eve start dating because they find common ground in trying to understand each other, while May and Haym start dating because of their personalities meshing together really well.

I don't really know who starts dating who first, I kinda feel like Haym and May would start dating first and over time May and Eve start to fall in love making May worry about being unfaithful but Haym is just like "oh cool! You want to date her while dating me too? :D"

Definitely Haym and May's relationship is more physical and fun, while Eve and May are more emotional. Not saying that May and Eve aren't physical or that Haym and May never have serious moments, but that each relationship has it's own feel to it.

Haym is definitely there for Eve and vice versa, but they are more just friends. Sometimes they will go on a big date, or do something physical with all three, but it's mainly the two relationships between May.

Eloni:

Okay, so like at first I was just shipping them with Barbara and Joey just to ship them with someone. I know that is a stupid reason, and honestly I was thinking about just ending the ship between the three in my head.

However, I really REALLY like the idea of the three being a queer platonic relationship. It is definitely going to take some time for them to get really close, but when they do they really do help each other out a lot and even think about moving in together.

If any 1010 was going to move out of the mansion it would definitely either be Eloni to go live with Barbara and Joey (who are either already living together, or making the arrangements to do so with the help of Eloni).

I just really see them making a life together being critics: of music, games, architecture. They grow together and learn how to love each other and themselves. I can see Barbara as a workaholic who never takes care of herself, Joey as a cynical ass who needs to see the joy in life, and Eloni as a very self-loathing person who wants to make other's happy but can't make themself happy.

Together they just become a group that brings out the best in each other. Joey is laughing more, taking things less serious and enjoying himself. Barbara is working less with the help of Joey and Eloni and finally taking time to learn what she likes to do in life. And Eloni is coming more out of her shell and even talking because he wants to be close to the other two and shows she cares (Eloni has a hard time being verbal in uncomfortable situations or when not in his stage mode so him being able to talk around Barbara and Joey is a really good thing).

Final Notes:

So yeah, those are the main reasons I ship what I ship. I do have a lot more to say about Purl (maybe not a lot but I could get more in detail), but that's just because I've been rotating them in my head for months now, and didn't want to make this even longer than it already is.

I'd say the only relationship in here that I might change later is Eloni/Barbara/Joey, for reasons stated above. The others are pretty set in stone. If anything else were to change it would just be adding a another person onto Purl's open relationship, but for now I see them as just sticking to West and Cyril as main partners and then having one-night-stands with randos at a bar or something.

horror being very specific with table manners and he berates people (dust and killer) for eating like fucking pigs

i think it'd be morbidly funny that because there was no food in horrortale but the cutlery and stuff was all there that maybe he would pretend to eat with no food on the plate. it was in a satirical way that he would joke maybe around horror paps or alone where he would pretend to eat and have really good table manners but then the satire joke became REAL and now horror is incredibly specific about how to eat food

you MUST hold the fork in the left and knife in right says horror. no killer you can't duel wield the fucking knives this is a table not a slaughterhouse. dust pick up your elbows off the table. actually how about you get your entire upper body off the table tf why are you SLEEPING ON THE FOOD??? killer's sitting fetal position in the chair because of course he wouldn't sit normally like the idiot he is. dust is forced to put his hood down and reveal his face no more mysterious shadow style because it puts horror at ease. they cannot have a single peaceful meal because once they get past the table manners phase it then becomes a completion to see who can eat the least (because they suck at everything including eating)

Today I'm thinking about manga versions of Maxie and Archie, because it's something... I even dont have words for it. Like. Holy fucking shit.

In the beginning, of course, they're confront each other - that's the classic, they're rivals after all, standing for different things and all that things. They're different. They're opposites. They're still strongly exist in each other lives, because of their conflict.

But then

This happens. And this IS beginning of the end, because of course they're working together - and at the moment it looks like it is only for benefits for their goals, nothing else. They will destroy each other when they will get to finish.

They're fucking irritating(/pos), it almost feels like they're drawn to each other, in any scenario, their destiny is to meet, to exist in each other lives. None of them exist alone (and when one of them do exist alone, it means that something went terribly wrong).

AND THEN THINGS JUST GO EVEN WORSE (/pos)

This panel. I don't know where to start.

Do I need start with that they're realizing they work together perfectly? Do I start with that this making them thinking they needed to work together from the beginning? Do I start with that two men, who, up until this point, was fighting with each other and conflicting, hating each other, founded in each other the best partner they ever could have? Do I start with that they're probably the best persons in each other lives?

It is already very emotional (at least for me), but with how story goes on, they're connecting more and more, becoming even more emotionally fucked up.

AND THEN THERE IS EMERALD ARC???? CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT EMERALD ARC???????

There is so much going on in emerald arc I barely can find words for describing my emotions.

This is the fucking tragedy. Because, what do you mean, they're put in situation where is only one of them can leave alive for some more time? (Remember how I said that if only ONE if them exist it means that some shit is going to happen something going to go really terrible. It either them both exist or them both don't).

What do you mean Archie is literally killed Maxie, just for chance of living a little longer?

And this is tragedy, because Archie, in the end, loses again. And now, not only he does lose in literal sense - he didn't achieve his goal, after all. He loses everything he had - his team, his life, and most importantly, he loses his only friend. He is all alone now.

Ah yeah can we talk about

This?

It's just one phrase. It has so much in it.

Not only he calls Maxie friend, not only he confess that Maxie probably the only one person which Archie was thinking as a friend, but also like.

Consider this: this isn't oras archie yet. This version of archie is cold, closed and gloomy, genuinely intimidating person. He doesn't care about his team members, it is kind of okay for him to use them as tools (which, ironically, shows even in this interaction with Maxie: after all, Archie still killed him for a chance of living a bit longer. And Archie acknowledging that he betrayed Maxie. He betrayed his only one friend). He is a cold person, but it almost seems like Maxie managed to warm him up a bit, just a little bit. This is actually incredible and, again, endlessly emotional, and I still can't stress this enough. Holy fucking shit.

Just imagine Archie at this point. Imagine, because, the best person in his life always was his rival. His rival, and maybe, even friend.

And I told about this before, but can we talk about that in distorted world they became one? It's just so symbolic. Like, Archie and Maxie from beginning were opposites, they was supporting opposite things, their goals was completely opposite. But they can't choose only one of this, because everything around them is a combination of different, sometimes opposite things. Like even the land and water in Hoenn! Exactly this combination of land and water create Hoenn as we know it, and how they know it. And they, people, who choosed only one of these things, in the end, became the one themselves - isn't this ironic? Isn't this funny? Isn't it symbolic in some way? (I also fucking love how this fusion explain in some way why when oras hits, Maxie is more like original Archie, and Archie more like original Maxie. They had explored each other minds I'm sure of it)

And finally, ORAS, part that I love the most.

Not only they both was given chance of living again, but this is literally their peak. They're working together again - and by that I mean they're working perfectly together.

They even acknowledge it themselves:

And this is so good in contrast with Ruby and Sapphire arc - back then, they too, realized and started to think they're work perfectly together, but it still was mixed with some evil fucked up shit, but here? They're working together because they (ironically), have the same goal. And they're helping each other.

They're working together perfectly, this is so good for them. And no evil bullshit this time! It's actually best versions of them in some way - because they're working together, for sake both of humanity and pokemon. They working towards happiness and safety for everyone, not choosing and prioritizing only one of them.

And they're talking to each other as if they was old friends, partners, every one of their interactions shines with this somewhat warm feeling. This is so good for them. I would even dare to say that ORAS part was the happiest moments in their lives.

And.. Then end of ORAS hits.

And, again, as classic already, it's a small panel, but how much here is.

First of all, can I point that Archie died two times, and both times he was thinking of Maxie in some way?

And both times is some kind of emotional moment for Archie: first time, he calls Maxie friend (he doesn't call him by name, but. He obviously talking about him COME ON), and second time he ask Maxie, if he would want to work together again, if they will have chance to do so. I just love seeing this progression, how Maxie became more and more dear person for Archie as time goes on, how he became more attached to him. And Maxie does too!

It is such an incredible moment filled with so much emotions, with so much sense. I love how Archie doesn't even say his question fully, but Maxie still understands him. Of course he does, because, I'm sure, even if Archie didn't ask this, Maxie still would think of it. I'm sure if none of them said this, they still would understand this wish to work together again that they both have. At this point, they are incredibly connected together, and they have only each other.

I also love this moment, because when Archie died first time, he was told that, if he will continue like this, he will end up all alone. And Archie agrees to that: he answer in the way that he is already accepted that he is alone now, and he doesn't even have Maxie by his side (I still can't get over that he really highlighted him in this speech holy fucking shit). BUT then, when he appears next time, he appears as ORAS self, and his ORAS self is very different from what he was, not only as a person, but his motivation is different, too.

He changed in some way. And he ISN'T alone, because now, Maxie is by his side again. And I can't stop thinking about how happy it probably made Archie.

And even dying, he is calm, because he isn't alone. He have Maxie by his side. His only friend.
