Secret dating fic between Silver/Gold cause I said so

and honestly Green/Red are more the “we didn’t even know we were dating until X pointed Y out” [we is definitely only Red though cause the denial is strong. If we’re speaking Spe I think the denier would be Green, but please tell me if you think otherwise and why, it’s been years since I last got to read Spe]

and Ruby/Sapphire already know what’s up with each other so yay for being the most self-aware couple [of besties in a relationship btw this is definitely about Spe]

and I really can’t imagine Diamond/Pearl/Platina dating people and ESPECIALLY not each other and yes this is Spe too

And the thing about Black and White is that I definitely ship one of them with Mr Natural Harmonia Gropius but you see THAT is subject to change depending on what I feel at any given moment [but more often Black than White cause I feel like White’s truest love is her JOB and I feel like the writing thrusts Black and N together more than anything.] Cheren has a will-remain-unreciprocated crush on Black and them’s the rules sorry (I made them up lol)

Whitley and Blake are here for fun and whimsical and shenanigans and goofy shenanigans with good friends and maybe, eventually, somewhere down the line (precisely 23 years cause, again, I say so) they get together and that’s a wrap. Yeah.

And… that’s where it ends.

#pokespe #but also I feel like because of the fact that I’ve read pokespe only once #and only until BW2 #and have not even finished that lol cause ummm uhhh #anyway what I’m saying is I’m definitely mixing this with game canon #cause yeah it’s something I do with my writing as well #not even gonna tag the ships here except maybe reguri and preciousmetal cause hhhh #reguri #preciousmetalshipping #just cause ‘author says so’ doesn’t mean you shouldn’t talk back like hit me with the ‘no actually 🤓☝🏾’

[xuciferous]

this is a Canon line btw. the kiss is too. probably

#preciousmetalshipping #pokemon #except shhh not it isnt #bc i have to be legally distinct so i dont get cease and desisted one day ;) #arashi #sora #i should come up with a distinct ship name too... #but for now ill still use preciousmetal #preciousmetal

[rivalkieran]

kinda fucked up specifically original and preciousmetal get gameverse flooded in their tags bc the difference between nameless / original and hunter(homie) / preciousmetal is like. VERY stark. those are completely different ships.

#solis.txt #I am very lucky because I generally enjoy both verses but my condolences to people who only like one. especially if you only like original. #I get why people would be confused tho? nameless and hunter areeee... not very descriptive ship names. this is why we should rename hunter #to homieshippi[I AM ESCORTED OFFSTAGE BY SECURITY] #sorry I had to get that plug in there. anyways I think if we established the difference between them better it would also mitigate some of #the canons bleeding into eachother in general? maybe.. idk I just want people to stop putting ethan and gold and the silver incarnations in #a blender with eachother </3. pretty please? with a cherry on top?

//OOC: ok this is a bit to explain but early on in this blog I engaged in some huntershipping / preciousmetals whatever you want to call it. Which isn’t the case anymore (and I don’t personally ship but it was fun to write) but one of their conversations was about this song and it’s really cute. Gives me a “you can do whatever you want don’t let anybody get you down” vibe.

[sunstartle]

I’m too sleep deprived to restrain myself from saying this and I’ve wanted to say it for years…

I do not have the suspension of disbelief to think that Ruby would ever, in a million years, date Emerald period.

This isn’t just “ship bashing” time, it’s: ‘Regardless of how poorly written you personally think their relationship was, so much of Ruby and Sapphire’s character arcs depend on each other and their inherent connection with each other” and “Ruby and Emerald barely seem to like eachother” and “Ruby and Emerald don’t have much of anything thematically interesting going on”

Hell, I’d believe Emerald and Sapphire dating before I’d believe Emerald and Ruby dating. I’d believe Ruby and Liasa saying, I’d believe Ruby and Wally dating, hell I’d believe Ruby dating any of his immediate juniors or seniors.

But not Ruby and Emerald.

The fact that so many people are willing to engage with and create content for two male characters who have no reason in canon to be together — while barely caring about female characters at all is telling. You can see it in the way that people barely ever mention Yellow or Blue in Originalshipping fics (except to help out the men, of course); or how you barely hear a word about Crystal in the vast majority of Preciousmetal fics. And to clarify: I am fine with and even enjoy both of those ships most of the time! But it’s hard not to notice after a bit.

Even when people make WLW ship content it always feels like it’s to get the women out of the way, or it’s done as a side mention. Rarely do I hear about or see people exploring the in-depth nuances of sapphic relationships in Pokespe without men somehow being in the forefront. And that’s an absolute shame, because a lot of sapphic ships in Pokespe have the potential to be really interesting if people would explore them properly!

Now let me be clear about my biases here. Franticshipping is my favorite ship of any fandom, hands down period. While I would believe any of the aforementioned ships with Ruby or Sapphire, I still wouldn’t like to read them because doing so makes me viscerally uncomfortable. Honestly that’s a part of the reason why I don’t engage with a lot of the larger fandom as a whole — and to clarify, that isn’t an “I think this is a problem” sort of thing, it’s just a hang-up of mine that I understand to be just a me thing (create all the content you want and so long as you tag it properly IGAF!)

But! But.

Frantic is a straight ship, yes, but it’s a straight ship composed of two at least somewhat gender nonconforming leads. Again, remember when this was first published — Ruby being portrayed as flaymboyant and feminine whilst being entirely straight is hugely fucking progressive; hell it’s even progressive by today’s standards. And obviously women tend to get more leeway in the femininity department nowadays, but still!

It is straight and it is played straight, not as a punchline or a gag. Sapphire is the more aggressive and physically competent of the two of them. Ruby sews her clothing and is interested in looking pretty. Neither of them have moments where their sexuality is questioned because of their interests, and they are both given the freedom to be well-rounded characters and have an interesting romantic relationship with each other rather than being some punchline in a newspaper strip or something.

So when people look at Ruby, and nod, and go “ah yes he must be gay” it feels like stereotyping. There is a stark difference between queer coding a character, and having a feminine male character who is very interested in women and has a romantic relationship with a woman which is a big focal point of his story. You feel me? There isn’t one homoerotic male friendship to be found with Ruby — he isn’t Red or Gold — and he literally only has super deep important character moments with and surrounding Sapphire.

Please understand: I’m not trying to say that straight ships are somehow marginalized or whatever, or that if Ruby had been in a gay relationship that it wouldn’t have been progressive at all. That is absolutely not what I am trying to say here.

What I am trying to say here — and what I hope that I’ve managed to get across — is that I see shipping Ruby with Emerald as downright unbelievable, the Pokespe fandom (as well as a lot of other fandoms) has a tendency to shove aside female characters in favor of male-focused storylines, and that Franticshipping is still a progressive ship even though it’s straight.

What baffles me the most about this whole thing, I guess, is that people who hate how Frantic played out in canon just Will Not engage with it! The kinds of people who love rewrites!

If you want queer rep, Frantic already screams Bi4Bi and/or T4T. If you find it narratively unsatisfying, make it satisfying! If you don’t like their dynamic, change it — you’re already changing a lot of personalities already!

I’m perfectly fine with people disagreeing with this post, by the way, I’d just ask that you please try to take this in good faith and not be too harsh just because I’m the kind of person who can get anxiety spirals over internet arguments 😭 Also I’d love it if ppl who want to argue back/discuss do so on this post and not the thing where you screenshot and reupload to bash someone thanks 🙏

#trainer ruby #trainer sapphire #trainer emerald #Pokespe #pokemon #Pokémon special #discourse #franticshipping #not tagging other discussed ships bc they’re not necessarily presented in a good light #also if anyone would like me to add any tags pls lmk #tagging a ship followed by ‘hate’ usually makes it show up in that ship’s tag so that’s why I’m not doing it #in conclusion feminine man x masculine woman stays winning

[ceriseisland]

Is there a way I can read all your ship asks? I can’t seem to find them (I read your preciousmetal one and really enjoyed it)

And if you haven’t done it yet, can you do originalshipping?

Hm if you mean that ask game from a couple years ago I don't have a tag for my asks, so you'll probably just have to scroll through my blog for them, sorry. I don't remember what I said about preciousmetalshipping lol but I'm glad you liked it.

I like that we see Red and Blue's relationship evolve more than most other dexholders. They get to go from disliking each other to respect to friends to best friends to whatever romance XY implies. That's something preciousmetal is missing, a genuine sense of growth, both as people and together as a relationship. Their entire relationship in RBG is set up as them becoming more like each other, and shoring up their weaknesses with each other's strengths. We get to see them grow up together, and their growth is almost always related to each other, like how the kalos kids note that Blue has become a romantic in XY and Blue immediately starts talking about Red as the cause. And I love that they've become inseparable to the point that Yellow just assumes Red will be with Blue when she goes to visit him in frlg. Kusaka really got the rivals to lovers dynamic down with them

Though I feel the same way about original as I feel about preciousmetal and mangaquest, that the dexholders are best off when they're in the groups they were designed for, so I kinda like Red, Blue, and Green in a poly relationship more. I'm not as big on it as johtoshipping but I still think they're best off like that personally

#like gold silver and crystal live together queerplatonically in a big house but i think poly kanto would be a more open relationship #i dont think they all live together but those bitches are definitely in the greater kanto polycule #especially since theres no way red isnt polyamorous #which i guess negates my point because originalshipping would just be one relationship in the polycule #idk im too tired to type this out right

[vizziefizzie]

We already know your opinion about preciousmetalshipping/homieshipping, but what are other ships you like.

(Also what's your opinion on NewReplacementshipping, it's my comfort ship)

hehhehe *rubs hands together* truth is: I don’t ship things very often (mind you, this is coming from an aroace that rarely finds enjoyment in romantic content... hell, I prefer relationships that look and feel more like a QPR or a found family). But, I do find enjoyment in the classics like originalshipping/namelessshipping (As long as people write it correctly... sometimes the fandom can be... yikes... and that goes for all ships- but I feel like it can affect this one and preciousmetal the most). 

But in terms of “OH MY GOD I LOVE THESE GUYS REGARDLESS IF ITS IN A ROMANTIC CONTEXT OR NOT!!” I really like scarfshipping... and I really love the stuff people make with the scarvio kids. Like, just seeing fluffy content in general just makes me so incredibly happy and I- UGHH I just love to see what people make. (Plus, I’m not the type of person to start or partake in a shipping war. I don’t have very strong opinions on anything (... except for the... you know... nasty shit that’s just... disgusting.. I shouldn’t have to elaborate... it’s in my dni)).

And as for newreplacementshipping, I can definitely see why people would like it! And I would too, but I personally hc that Lyra is aroace. And I love thinking of them having bestie moments and having fun little sleepovers where they can gossip about anything or pull silly pranks on Ethan (Which they do... a lot). I see them almost like sisters (Much like how I see Ethan and Lyra as sibs or Ethan and Kris as sibs. They’re all like siblings in my mind). But if I take away my hc for a moment, I can see a lot of empowerment between the two and honestly I think they’d thrive in a romantic relationship. I don’t get any toxic vibes!

#Thanks for the ask! #pls i feel so awkward when I talk about ships #esp when I realize just how rare and few they are for each thing ive hyperfocused on #but I do find a lot of things cute! even rarepairs! #only time i dont is when smth feels... toxic #it might be the dynamic or just one character that ruins something for me #fun fact: i used to think that the homies would be toxic af... and then BOOM i dug deep into silver's character and realized i was stupid #and masters just proved it even more #i love silver's development #ive actually wrote self-indulgent fics on their relationship #will i ever share? no clue #but just know that it was clearly written by a psychology nerd who likes learning about couples therapy (me) #i love picking apart relationships and pointing out how people can improve #hence... i see potential in every ship lmao help me #omfg stfu vizzie #AGAIN! THANKS FOR THE ASK!! I LOVE REFLECTING ON SHIT!!!
