T'is the season! For some Masters Holiday alts, of course. I think Archie would have some strong opinions about the ethics behind arctovish but like if it already exists it deserves a good life nonetheless

#this isnt the usual pokemas holiday alt style at all but i am NOT drawing santa fits #aqua leader archie #magma leader maxie #pokemon masters #pokemas #hardenshipping #thats enough tags of that #i could not be fucked to do a proper drawing after i just wanted to design some silly outfits #also actovishes shiny is so ugly IM SORRY ABT UR EX COLORS ARCHIE #i did my best w what i had. but it was not a lot #oras #i guess it balances out. Archies base palette is better. Max has a better EX palette. #i’ll be skipping new years alts for em i wanna do neo champion ones though #probably palentines too

Hey guys, so if you know Baldur's Gate 3 this is an AU for that with Hardenshipping but it's really fucked up. I will explain why it's fucked up below the cut.

Maxie is a High Half-Elf Warlock (his patron is Groudon), and Archie's a Human Fighter <3

Also I just realized this is the first time you have seen me draw Archie seriously lmao my bad guys I'll try to draw him again soon

I took a ton of inspiration for various things for these designs, including Guile for Archie's armor bc I love Guile sm!!

(More info and our dumb AU lore under here - No BG3 Spoilers I promise <3)

I'm going to tell you this now... this gets really fucking crazy and honest to god I know I'm going to have a hard time explaining this. It WILL be quite long and I WILL be yapping.

This AU is really just something we did on impulse and it's really fun to mess around with, so I'm hoping you all will enjoy the concept as well :)

I'll try to explain it simply as I can. I thank you in advance to all who sit here and read this ily sm if you read it all <3333

Anyways, okay so imagine how one could do a bg3 AU for these two fuckers...

And throw it right out the window because you'll never guess how me and my friend have done it.

The Backstory:

This all started when my friend decided to play BG3 for the first time, and he jokingly said to me "Should I make Maxie our main character??" and I replied "I you want, but I won't force you" and thus BG3 Maxie was created, and his misadventures began.

Now your probably wondering (if you've played the game) what about the guardian?? Who did we make the guardian?? Well, we made Archie the guardian. However, I did not know just how wild this idea would get within the next few days.

So, eventually we realized how crazy the BG3 lore actually is (it's a like fucking DnD campaign idk how we didn't realize this beforehand), and so, we jokingly started our own "AU Lore" that ties in with the BG3 Lore.

If you really want to know, I have an entire note in my notes app dedicated to keeping track of what happens. It is very long.

The Parasite:

Now, if you've played the game or know anything about it, you know about the Mindflayer parasites. Well, one fateful day, me and my friend joked that the Parasite in Maxie's head was this little freak who looks like Archie.

The two have no correlation other than looks, its completely coincidence and it's not a mimic situation. The Parasite "Archie" does nothing but talk nonsense to Maxie all the time, and initially the bit was that he only talked about Fortnite. All because I made the joke that the dream realm in game looked like a fortnite update. By now, that bit has fallen off (thank god), replaced by just general nonsense and lies.

Also he fucking looks like this:

Weird little freak. This is just one of his talk sprites I have, this is just his neutral expression.

So basically it's:

- Maxie was supposed to be on a Geology research trip, but instead he got dragged into the Parasite issue with the rest of the companions. He really just wants to get home to Archie.

I am the one who handles everything for Maxie in this AU, I do his voice, I handle his lore, etc.

- Parasite Archie is this 1 foot tall, neco arc-esque version of Archie that sits on Maxie's shoulder and tells him nonsensical things. He also says Maxie's name wrong, he says Maxie's full first name and pronounces it as "Maximilliam" instead of the "N" at the end. For Maxie it's like handling a toddler but the toddler fights back, doesn't shut up, and threatens your life. He also has a ton of his own lore that my friend continously adds on to, so I can make another post with just the parasite's part of things.

My friend handles everything with the Parasite himself, comes up with the lore, does the voice, etc. I simply keep track of it.

- The "dream visitor" version of Archie is not real either. It's linked to the Parasite in ways that if I get into it, I will spoil a good chunk of the game. Sorry. Just know you can consider this and Parasite Archie kind of as one in the same almost.

- The REAL Archie is still at home, completely unaware of what's happening, while Maxie is fighting for his life. He does miss him, though, and hopes he gets home soon. He and Maxie are only boyfriends, they haven't gotten married yet. (They also haven't been through their rivalry yet, as this all takes place before that happens.)

Sorry for the convoluted yap sesh, I just have more art planned for this stupid AU and- God I cannot possibly just post this shit with no context. Like, I'd have to explain it eventually so I might as well do it now beforehand yk 😭😭

I might do separate posts with our HCs and some silly conversations that have happened between Parasite Archie and Maxie if you guys would want that :)

Also, I do have all of the sessions from where my friend plays the game recorded and I'll be sure to post some clips of what Parasite Archie sounds like eventually, possibly with snippets of my shitty Maxie voice in there as well. You'll get to see the talk sprites in action with that, too.

#nugget's yapping again #apologies in advance to all the bg3 fans who end up seeing this shit im so sorry guys #nugget art!! #GOD THIS IS SO LONH IM SO SORRY GUYS #Parasite Archie #its official #he has his own tag now. god help us. #like i said ill make a separate post about Maxie and Parasite Archie so you can know more about them and their dynamic #hardenshipping #magma leader maxie #aqua leader archie #bg3 #bg3 au

I really like ribbondraws aus and yesterday that ponyo image just kinda took up all my time.

Obviously my brain went "ah yes, ponyo darya" at the image of archie and maxie as ponyos parents

So I had to draw it.

But yeah,

Original art and idea of archie and maxie as granmamare and fujimoto is by @ribbondraws

I just inserted my oc bc it fit well :'^

Hello I'm back to just say random headcanons about Archie and Maxie...

I think this all came up from me needing smth to think about while I do daily chores, but I don't really think either of them fit entirely into the high schedule or no schedule kind of days.

Like obviously they both do a little but not in the way you'd immediately think of when you think of those ideas. Like generally if someone says they're strict and scheduled you'd think they'd take care of themself and vice versa but I don't think that's the case with them.

Cuz it's canon that Maxie is strict and clearly has his day all planned and does the same shit everyday (see that one Magma grunt complaining about his daily speeches). But I definitely don't think his self-care skills are even mediocre.

I think his schedule is less that he has it like written down or even really planned out, it's just kinda that he does the same stuff everyday. The issue is most of that stuff is work related and he's pushed basic care like eating and sleeping to the side. (Hence the hc of him being a smoker as well as a heavy drinker. Those things don't take a lot of effort to grab and it would give him the only breaks he'd think he needs like going out to smoke.)

As where with Archie I think (like most of the things with them) he's the opposite. He's not a really scheduled person, but I think he does have a sort of mental checklist of the things he needs to do through the day. I think all of his daily tasks are just kinda based around his personal stuff just not like at specific times.

I think he does the obvious shit everyday, like obviously eating, showering, working out, he seems like the kind of person to have like extensive skin care ngl and he does all of it everyday the only thing is, he just kinda does all of it when he gets the chance or just when he feels like it rather than having a "wake up do this and this and this" type of mentality.

anyway that's just kind of the basis of it. I see a lot of people that take the proof of Maxie being a scheduled kind of person and taking it as him being someone that like always makes sure he's like taking care of his hair and all this little personal care stuff and Archie having a very relaxed team (like they don't even have work hours) seems to make people give him the vibe of just not giving a shit but again I think it's the opposite its just that they can't be normal and have to do everything wrong :)

Like Maxie's strict daily schedule is basically just "if i cut out useless stuff like trying to stay alive, I can get more work done." And Archie's schedule is non-existent but god forbid he doesn't get to go for a jog at least somewhere in his day.

Maybe if they live together they can work out a healthy middle ground of both of those... maybe not though...
