What made both her sacrifice for her team mates’ happiness in Pocket Monsters (2019)/Pokemon Journeys episode 95 and the fact that she thought this would be her end more poignant for me is that being completely alone is what Musashi hates the most. She lost her (single) mother as a child and was never adopted, going from foster home to foster home... ;_;

After many failures (like being unable to graduate from a school meant to train literal Pokemon Nurses, because she couldn’t do what Chansey do, despite studying hard and being adept at skills like bandaging…) and having her heart broken and being disappointed (she let a boy she loved go alone so she can pursue idol dreams with some friends, who all made it… without her, so she lost a possible love for an impossible dream)…

She couldn’t bond with her partners and left them to be injured, just to save herself, during her training days at Team Rocket. She’d become selfish and self-preserving… in the Japanese version, the others called her “shinigami Musashi” according to Yamato (Cassidy), likening her to a reaper of souls… but James refused to run away, sick of living a life where he ran away from all his problems. He’d sacrifice himself for her and Meowth’s safety, getting badly injured and nearly missing their final exam, hospitalized. The first time they uttered the beginning of their motto was when she believed she was all alone again, much like in this scene… the Rockets in the Japanese version repeat the last thing someone else says as if to answer a question (the “nanda kanda to kikare tara” = “if you ask us about this or that” is mostly filler that could be substituted with anything else.)

Musashi (Jessie): (dejectedly, as she walks away alone as the final exam begins, even being questioned by Nyasu/Meowth where she’s going): Is this all that there is…?

Kojiro (James): (answering while leaning posed against a tree, covered in bandages, but they were only wrapped over his clothes so he could whip them off dramatically) If you ask us 'if this is all that there is,' our answer will be the universe’s compassion!

She’s so moved, she turns away to wipe her tears. “A team mate who won’t run away…”

I think that’s the first time they ever see her cry.

Jessie desperately wants family, belonging, that’s why she falls in love so quickly, she wants a family more than anything—James had everything material growing up, but not love… Musashi had near to nothing material growing up, BUT she had her mother’s love… until she lost her very, very early. They contrast each other! They’re soul mates, eternal partners, whether you ship them or not. Meowth, too, was orphaned as a kitten, never even named, and an outcast his whole life. He's also always falling in love easily, seeking a home... the trio should never be separated, they are each other’s sought-for home.

I think the falling snow in this scene, where she runs off in tears, after wearing a brave smile and telling James it’s okay to stay with Cassidy, is a very deliberate choice, as Jessie loves snow. One of her few happy memories of her depressing childhood is being made treats made of snow to eat. She unknowingly lost her mother in the snowy Andes mountains, seeking Mew, put into foster care, while Miyamoto tried to make money to give her a better life... glittering snow and sparkling tears…

For Meowth too, she lets him go. She just wants everyone to have their chance at love.

So, her believing she’ll end up dying alone, as she’s always feared, Musashi here laments her luck, but also has a beautiful little dream of her friends saving her.

Once again, similarly to the break-up episode of DP, she was the one who calmly and gently encouraged James to pursue a possible love. She also broke Dustox’s pokeball, in tears, not wanting her to make the same mistake she did, giving up on an attainable love for an unattainable goal (and, indeed, Jessie did not win the Grand Festival, despite her skill at Pokemon Contests… she made the right decision for Dustox’s happiness.)

Jessie loves her friends. Sure, she’s caustic, rude, temperamental, bitter, and self-absorbed, but she prioritizes love and their happiness. She doesn’t want them to be alone and abandoned the way she felt as a kid. She loves them so much so, she’s satisfied to die alone and suffer her worst fear if it meant they get to be happy. That’s self-sacrifice.

She doesn’t resent them one bit, saying it’s a nice dream when she thinks she’s imagined them saving her life… she thought it was her mind comforting her before her death, accepting her fate, rather than realizing it’s effectively a premonition of what will be reality… and when she realizes?! She initially reproaches them, looking mad, because she thought they abandoned their happiness for her! But no, things didn’t work out… this is where they’re meant to be: by each other’s side.

James also knows how much marriage means to her, even though he’s so traumatized by it, the word “fiance” triggers literal flashbacks for him and he climbed up a tree to get away from a teenaged girl who called him that. Yet, in XY episode 63, where she fell for Dr. White...

Kojiro: (with head down, eyes shadowed) If Musashi (Jessie) wants to pursue her happiness as a woman, shouldn't we give her our blessing?

Nyasu also had his misfortunes in love... they sympathize and empathize.

"Let's show her we're men and leave without saying anything..."

As Kojiro runs away, he sheds tears, wishing her happiness and bidding her farewell, silently. The scenes in these two episodes are clear parallels.

But in the end (including the final episodes, as rushed as that plotline was although I still loved Wobbuffet acting exactly like a troubled child of parents going through a messy divorce), they’ll always realize their happiness is by each other’s side as a trio.

"Sometimes you get good pulls, sometimes you get bad ones. Sometimes they're good, even if you think they're bad. Sometimes they're bad, even if you think they're good."

#rocketshipping #kojimusa #jessie x james #i should post a rocket family headcanon on my fankid blog #phoebe speaks

[pokemonfanthings]

I saw some anti-LGBT+ sentiment this morning in regards to the lovely fictional characters most call Jessie and James.

I just wanna say that all headcanons are valid.

And…

Telling people that characters can’t be LGBT is an anti-LGBT action.

That is not the same as simply not agreeing with someone. If one person headcanons a character as trans and another headcanons them as cis, that in itself is not an LGBT+ action. Telling someone that a character can’t be LGBT and/or that their headcanons are invalid, that is an anti-LGBT action.

Headcanons don’t need ‘evidence’, (even though many do). We all interpret characters differently. You can look at a character and be like “this one’s coming out as non-binary in 10 years”and that’s cool.

This discussion has been brought up before, especially in regards to shipping Jessie and James.

I’m pointing out that people under the bisexual or asexual umbrella work just as well as them being straight. Or they are a gay family. Or they are both trans and don’t like each other all that much. Or whatever. They are fictional adult characters with a history of over 20 years together. There is a lot of room for interpretation here.

Reiterating that you can call them straight without being a dick but if you insist that this is the only ‘good’ headcanon, you’re being a dick. An anti-LGBT+ dick.

This post is to show my support for all the LGBT headcanons we have for our favorite characters and to remind people that a true ally doesn’t say “I’m not homophobic, but…” before giving their opinion. It’s a red flag.

hihi quick question- why is the ship name called hanamusa?

"hana" from "Hanako" and "musa" from "Musashi"

Delia and Jessie's Japanese names respectively! A lot of pokemon ship names kinda work like that like KojiMusa or SatoKasu~

素敵ねェ…

素敵よォ…

こんにちは。

え、↑のイラストは何だって？HAHA

見てわからない？

ならば 答えてあげよう 世の情け

ムサシ概念ピアスを

作成頂きました。

Twitterで仲良くしてもらっていますお友達。

本職の傍ら、自作アクセサリーの販売も

行っている模様。

そのアクセサリーのかわいいこと、かわいいこと…

以前からきゃわゆい💕と思っていたのですが、

ちょうど良い機会があり、

欲しい…買わせて…と泣きついたところ、

快く応えて頂きました。しかもオーダーメイドも可と。

同じロケクラさんなので、

もうこれはム概念ピアスを作るしかないんじゃあねえのと。

ヤル気満々でデザインシートを作成しました。

↑わくわくウキウキ伝わる？(笑)

デザインシート作るの超楽しかったよ。

だって推しだし、これが形になるんだからさ！

デザインですが、

やっぱりムサシとお揃いの緑の丸ピアスにしたくて。

でもそれだけじゃコスプレっぽくなってしまうし、

ムサシといったらやはり赤系なので、

モチーフひとつ追加しました。

揺れる系ピアスは元々数持っていなかったので、

欲しかったのもあり、ちょうど良かったんです！

それと、一番気にかけていたのは、

製作者のデザインを殺さないことです。

元々、お友達のセンスが大好きでお願いした話だったので

色と形を指定したまでにし、

中のお花や下部のパーツ選択は

お願い(という名の丸投げ)にしました。

そんな感じで送りつけたデザインシートですが、

アクセサリーのオーダーというものが初めてで

こんなんで大丈夫かい…？と思っていたのですが

神かなにかですか？ありがとうございます🙇‍♀️

お友達曰く、ここまでデザイン案を

作り込んでくれたことは初めてだったようで…！(笑)

喜ばれておりました。マジよかった。

そして待つこと1週間と少し…

キタァアーーーーーーーーーーーー！！！！

絶賛仕事中だったのですが、すぐ開封したよね。

本っっ当に美しい…

ヤバイ…

ムサシやこれ…

ムサシが宅配されてきた…

装着したい気持ちを抑え、仕事に戻ったのですが

もうね、仕事3つ終わらせちゃった。

すごない？ピアスパワーだよこれ

いつもいつでもアタシはヤル気がないので

すぐ終わる仕事も鼻ほじって後回し。

しかし今日はちがう、ムサシがいる、

終わらせるんだ、仕事を。

やれ、今。ｳﾘｬﾘｬﾘｬﾘｬﾘｬ

ｳﾘｬﾘｬﾘｬﾘｬﾘｬｧｱーーーーーーーｯ

※アゴのニキビをつまんでいます

あ～も～超かわいい。

引目で見ても美しいピアス。

なればドアップにして見てみませう。

まずいいですか、上部パーツの中のお花です。

指定の通り、グリーン系にして頂いたのですよ。

しかし、ここがお友達の腕の見せ所。

銀が入っていますよね。

曰く、銀河を表現しているとのことです。

銀河をかけるR団の二人には…！

これはねテンアゲってやつですよ。

ホワイトホール白い明日が待っている。

本当に待っているこれは。白い明日が(？)

それだけではござらん。

お花で甘々要素を演出。

銀のギラギラさで辛さをプラス。

ムサシじゃねーか

ムサシ以外の何者でもない。

それ以上でもそれ以下でもない。

この玉1つでムサシだ。すごい。

お友達すごい。天才であられる。

石鹸は緑と丸しか指定してないのに、

100点満点どころか100万点のデザインで

お返し頂きました。感動です。本当にこれは。

製作者からもムサシ愛が伝わってくる。うれしい。

こんなにハッピーなピアスはない。とてもHAPPY

そして下部パーツ。

赤系(orピンク)であれば何でもエエで。

と、丸投げしていたところ。

いくつかご提案頂き、

その中から薔薇を選ばせて頂きました！

事情により、赤系が薔薇しかなかったようなのですが、

むしろこれは運命なのではないでしょうか。

だって、結果的に薔薇以外ないなと思っているのだもの。

ところで、

ご周知の通り、普段ムサシは薔薇を持ちません。

持っているのはコジロウですよね。

つまりこれは

コジムサ概念ピアス

でもあるのだ。

二度美味しい。匂わせやがってこのこのですよ。

ピのモチーフ耳にぶら下げてェ～↑↑😙ひゅう

コジムサの人、ちょっと来て

これを見なさいよアナタ↓

ピアスはかつて魔除けのお守りとして使われていました。ずっと身に着けていることから「相手を見守っている」という意味があると言われています。

(上記記事より引用)

コジロウ見守っとる

石鹸が着けてていいのこれ…？

ムサシが着けたほうがよくない…？

いや石鹸が着けるね

(なにおま)

ちなみに、薔薇にまつわるコジムサの話は

pixivに漫画を掲載しているので是非見ていってください。

話が逸れましたが、

上部でムサシ

下部でコジロウ

図らずともコジムサピアスにも変身してしまった

素敵な、素敵なピアスでした。

再三ですが、

こんな素敵なピアスは他にない

他にはない素敵なピアスに、

思わずAppleペンシルが動きました。

それが本記事トップのイラストです。

(はがきにしてお友達に送りつけました)

また、自分でも気に入ったので

飾りました。↓

Pooh棚みたいになってるが、馴染んでらあ！

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

合作と言わせてもらってもいいのかな…？

(色と形を指定しただけなんです僕は)

しかし、響きがなんとも嬉しいので

合作と言わせて下さい！

というか、また注文してもいい？笑

オーダーでなく普通に。

デザインが本当にドツボなんだもの

そんな素敵な素敵なお友達、すよよ様でございました。

すよよさん(Twitter)

(コジムサの小説も書かれており、

スパダリコジにきゅんします⚠️⚠️⚠️

ツイートにいつもほっこりしております。

ケーキがめちゃくちゃ美味しそうです。

いつもありがとうございます。)

それでは、幸せをありがとうございました！

合作した想い出とともに大切にします😊💕

おわり

Just wanted to share my appreciation for such a down-to-earth blog dedicated to things you seem truly and genuinely into, it reminds me of what my very first tumblr blog was like. Reading your thoughts about KojiMusa/Rocketshipping, American Girl, and doll customization is so fun. Thanks for keeping your blog so fun and genuine!

Thanks! :-) Sorry I’m answering so late, the app hasn’t been showing me notifications. Probably something got turned off in Settings.

(Also really hoping this actually posts because I’ve had trouble answering asks on mobile before)
