Steven is getting his sixth pokemon in masters

I am so done

Steven aint a bad character, but SERIOUSLY

If I’ve learned anything from about 25 years of actively being engaged in fandom, it’s this: fuck everybody else.

Your favorite character ain’t the fandom’s favorite character? Fuck ‘em.

Your ship is the rarepair or the one people think is icky? Fuck ‘em.

You like the tropes and meta and character analysis that make other people roll their eyes? Fuck ‘em.

Engage with fandom in the ways that make you happy and comfortable and fulfilled and fuck everybody else. Like the things you like because you like them, because not everybody else is gonna love them the way you do.

Be cringe and be free, hallowed be thy name, goddamn.

being sick sucks

it is one of the only excusable reasons to be unproductive

and you are unproductive because you physically can't be productive

:\

I’ll make a fancier post later but I just found this out so.

I’m taking EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS to HELP MY MOM.

My mom is my best friend. She is everything to me and if I had the means to help her out of my own pocket I would, but I love paycheck to pay check as a single income home. She is losing a day off work every week because the business she works for isn’t doing so well, so that’s $800 a month that she is not getting.

After doing her taxes she found out she owed the government $2,100 dollars. On top of that she is still paying off her mortgage and car payments until March of Next Year ( when they will be paid off ).

I don’t expect to make nearly the amount she needs, but I really need to help my mom. She’s elderly. She’s in constant pain and she’s just trying to make ends meet right now. She’s such a wonderful person and she doesn’t deserve all of this bad news.

All of my pricing can be found on the pinned post on my graphics blog @makethings . I have some examples there but examples can be found all over this blog, @iptosi and @breakthings .

If you just want to donate my PayPal is candied.feathers@hotmail.ca

If you can’t purchase or anything, that’s okay! Reblog gong this helps so much.

Get Ready! Here I Come! A Wally Analysis

Oh Wally, one of my favorite rivals and Hoenn Characters! He's definitely one of the many characters from Hoenn that was definitely benefited by the ORAS storyline adding much needed character development and screen time.

Wally as a character broke a lot of molds for his introduction in gen 3. He's the first rival to not be the first battle or get one of the main starters! He's also the first rival to be a secondary rival (as Brendan/May are the first) but ultimately become the primary rival as Brendan/May pretty much give up on keeping up with the player by Lilycove.

Let's start with Wally's name, in English Wally is derived from "Wallflower" which is a term for people who may come off as either shy, awkward and/or introverted. In Japanese, his name is Mitsuru which can mean "to be frail" or a reference to the crane ("tsuru") which would then reference the thousand origami cranes that are often given to people who are seriously ill. Indeed a lot of the names he has across localizations seem to reference his him either being shy or frail.

Which makes sense given that when we first meet him he's is quite sickly and rather shy (the shyness is much more prominent in his animations in ORAS). Based on what we know about his condition (needing more fresh air and it improving as he was able to travel more) it's likely he had asthma, which can indeed improve as you grow older (provided it doesn't come back, like mine did). Wally's introduction being the catching tutorial is probably one of the best of the series simply because it involves the growth of a new character instead of just it showing the player (who most likely already knows how to catch Pokemon). It's really nice to see Wally so excited about catching his first Pokemon. This is magnified by the fact that when you look at his room it's filled with a lot of textbooks on how to catch Pokemon, showing this was a major dream for Wally for the longest time and now he's finally getting a chance to fulfill said dream. Wally's introduction is probably my favorite of any rival we've had in the series just because of how sweet it is and how creative they were by using his introduction as a tutorial.

Now let's step back for a second and look at Wally's team. His signature Pokemon is the Ralts line with him evolving the Ralts he caught in the capture tutorial into a Gardevoir in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and Gallade in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. Both Gardevoir and Gallade evoke guardian angel and knight vibes with their Pokedex entries and appearances. You would think this would mean that Wally is a guardian/protector…but really this involves Wally being the one needing protecting. Obviously as the trainer Wally does take care of his Pokemon, but given his sickness he relies on his Pokemon. IN the first match we have against him in Mauville City, his Ralts has Teleport, which is a great move to quickly get you back to the last Pokemon center. Perfect for someone who might get sick and need to leave an area immediately

Indeed Wally makes multiple mentions to relying on his Pokemon

"I'm always relying on Gallade. This is my chance to help him out for a change." <- Serena's Dessert Party Story Event "When I was younger, I wasn't able to get outside much… Spending time with Pokémon helped me get better." <- Random Conversation in Pokemon Center in Pokemon Masters Ex

It's really cool to see this play out with a major NPC as most oftentimes in the game we don't really seeing humans actively needing help from Pokemon unless they are minor NPCs

But then let's look at the rest of his team when he fights you at Victory Road. It consists of a Delcatty, Magneton, Roselia, Altaria and the Gallade(ORAS)/Gardevoir(RSE). What's interesting to note is that outside of his starter most of his Pokemon's base forms can be found near Verdanturf. Skitty can be found Route 116 (on the other side of Rusturf Tunnel which connects Rustboro and Verdanturf). Roselia is found on Route 117 (connecting Verdanturf to Mauville City. Magnemite can be found in New Mauville but also in horde battles on Hoenn Route 110 (which is just underneath Cycling Road which is near Mauville). Swablu is the mon that's found farthest away on Routes 114/115 which are close to Meteor Falls (easier to get to via Fallarbor Town but you can go up through Rustboro City).

This is interesting to note because it gives the impression that Wally stayed closed to his Uncle's House in Verdanturf when initially catching and training Pokemon. Presumably this is so one he can boost up his confidence and two to help build his stamina as the air there is a little cleaner and would help improve his respiratory condition. This is something I really like about Wally in the fact that he has far more humble beginnings compared to many rivals who often get traditional starters and come from rather privileged families. I feel like he's more emblematic of what the average trainer would go through normally in the Pokemon world, which makes his true strength later on that much more impressive.

Now we don't see Wally much in our Gen 3 playthroughs and some players express frustration about that because we're used to having rivals challenge us on a more constant basis. But actually makes sense given this line of dialogue

"I lost to you, , but I'm not feeling down anymore. Because I have a new purpose in life. Together with my Ralts, I'm going to challenge Pokémon Gyms and become a great Trainer. Please watch me, . I'm going to be stronger than you. When I do, I'm going to challenge you to another battle." -At his Aunt and Uncle's house in Verdanturf

He expresses the desire to challenge you again, but he wants to build up strength before hand. Again subverting the rivals before him (even Brendan/May in the same game until Lilycove where they give up) he doesn't see himself as better/more experienced. So his loss doesn't affect him the same way. He knows he has a ways to go and decides he wants to focus on building himself up before challenging you again. And going back to his team composition he really wants to be sure he's prepared so he sticks to a small region of traveling before branching out. Which no doubt helps him conquer the gyms at a blistering rate. You'll notice around through the game that if you check the gym statues his name actually appears first on gyms. Because like Blue and Silver he ends up outpacing you. In ORAS the News portion of the Pokenav actually comments on a trainer who is conquering the gyms at a blistering pace which we'll later find out is him

"Oh, ! I…I left my uncle's place in Verdanturf without telling anyone. I wonder if he's furious with me… , you understand how I feel, don't you?" <- Wally in Emerald on the Match Call after you beat Flannery

This is a line that stuck out to me even as a kid playing Emerald on GBA SP. He actually snuck out in order to continue training his Pokemon. But he feels bad for doing it because on some level he understands that his family is just trying to look out for his health. But also he still wants to make his dreams come true even if it upsets them. It's also really nice touch in Emerald when he does call you because it shows he really considers you to be a friend even though you guys don't see each other much (one of the many reasons I wish we would've gotten Delta Emerald just to keep the Match Calls because they provide a lot of insight to the Hoenn cast, among other things).

In ORAS at least it seems to be less of a sneak out thing as we do see him in Petalburg after defeating Norman and he does get his dad's encouragement to continue traveling, with both Norman and his dad remarking on our strength as we head on out.

We don't see Wally again until Victory Road where he surprises with a battle and in ORAS giving us one of the best themes of a Pokemon character EVER in my opinion. Since Hoenn was my introduction to the Pokemon main-series games and Wally was really my first true rival of the series hearing the epic music and seeing the visual was amazing. It brought a tear my eye, honestly. Also just seeing how his animation in ORAS changes where our first battle he has a very timid look, but on Victory Road he challenges us with a more confident stance showing how much he has grown. And when he loses he expresses frustration.

We see him again in ORAS in the Delta Episode being harassed by either Courtney or Matt for his Key Stone after he already had his stolen by Zinnia which he'll eventually get back. But when we see him at the Battle Resort we notice something a bit different about him. He seems to be a little bit more impatient, running so fast he knocks the Team Aqua/Magma admins aside. He does apologize to them afterwards, but it's definitely a change from what we've seen of him thus far. And then after defeating him the first time at the Battle Resort we get treated to this line"I knew my team makeup was still off. Then…I guess I need to take this guy out. No, if I do that, I'll be wide open for… Hmm… Then if I replace this move here… Yeah… Yeah, that should do it! Oh! Excuse me! I couldn't help myself! But you're just as brilliant in battle as ever, <player>! Still, don't you count on me just losing to you forever. I've met a lot of people who have helped me grow since coming to the Battle Resort, and it has reminded me all over again how much fun it is to really go all out in battle! Thanks again, <player>! Let's battle again sometime!"

This is a bit concerning. Now to be fair other trainers who swap out Pokemon. He's not the first or the last. But you can kind of tell how serious he's become about trying to win. When we battle him he drops his Delcatty and Altaria for Talonflame, Azumarill and Garchomp with rather strategic movesets.

And then we get to Pokemon Masters. Specifically the Melancholy Wally event where he's paired up with a shiny Gardevoir. He really wants to team up with Diantha who refuses because she says he "lacks something". Which he takes to mean as strength when she really meant how he and his partner shine with their bond. And as we see throughout the event he is actually really prioritizing winning and technical battle stuff over just bonding with his Gardevoir, causing it to disappear. Which makes him really upset leading to this heartbreaking line "Is it because I'm weak? Do you not like battling with me anymore?"

We see Wally does have a bit of a complex, no doubt influenced by him being a sick shy child who was a little overprotected by his family. But then when he sees Noland teaching others how to battle he remembers something… "Although he lost the battle...he looks so happy..."It's all coming back to me...I was once like him...And it was so much fun. But now, all I think about is winning or losing...And I'm not enjoying Pokémon battles like I used to... ... ... ...Now that I think about it, when was the last time I had fun with Gardevoir? I should apologize...I was horrible to Gardevoir!"

He realizes where's he gone wrong. He's too focused on the outcome of the battle and forgetting the most important thing is about maintaining your bond with your Pokemon. And this again goes back to that post-defeat quote at the Battle Resort. When he started to care more about winning and optimizing tactics over bonding with his Pokemon.

With the recent Galar Neo Champions promos people have been joking about how he was paired with the jerk rival Blue, Silver and Bede. When you look at the Melancholy Wally event and his dialogue at the Battle Resort, you realize this was intentional. Because while he may not tease or put down others, he is very much falling into the "jerk rival trap" of caring more about strength over just enjoying time with their Pokemon. Luckily on Pasio he seems to be just like Blue, Silver, and Bede, overcoming that pitfall. This is something I really appreciate about Wally because it's nice to see the friendly rivals fall into bad-Pokemon training habits. Just because you're not strutting around thinking that you're the best thing since slice bread doesn't mean you can't have nasty traits or habits that need to be broken and I kind of wish they did that more often because it's rare to see.

But yeah Wally's a super interesting character who proves you don't need to have a lot of screen time to make a big impact.

hope you had fun :>

I want to collapse.

(Just finished Violet)

Maybe he felt overworked?

With so many jobs, he probably deserved time off.

Just my speculation.

Oh! And too much time in the spotlight (good or bad) can be quite harmful!

Though, I hope his time was good! <3

Something I find very interesting about Oras Wallace is that he says he used to, in years past, take place in contests. But not anymore... (Well. Not until that master rank beauty w/ Lisia. Which after he says he may consider again).

But still. How long ago, why may he have stopped, and what was his time in that spotlight like?

(of course, we can look to the anime about that, but still. Anime isn't quite the games.)

...what happened with Steven, if you don't mind my asking?

well for a good while steven and wallace were married and happy

they love each other very deeply they're gonna have to perfect life and so they wanted to make a team together to help make the world a better place

they had two different and separate ideas on how they wanted to do it

steven was heavily focused on his idea and he spent too much time not paying attention to his supposed love (wallace)

with time wallace began drift away from steven's ideals he believes that he could do better don't steven was doing that his ideas had a deeper and more powerful meaning than stevens... rocks

wallace began to fall out of love for steven and steven ignored it

wallace left believing he needed to leave steven and create his own new team

team aqua

wallace with his new team attacked steven's team from the shadows and making steven believe that his own husband wallace was dead

wallace let himself be seen eventually showing that he does not care for steven and that he wants steven to fail, claiming that the sea neednt be destoyed by human laziness and neglect

wallace blames steven for everything that is happened and will continue to blame steven for everything that will happen for the rest of time

*AU Wallace*

birthdays to be honest are stupid

a birthday is just a reminder that of the day that you were put into this pitiful world

on my birthday we go on like nothing's happening because to be honest it's more productive that way

no i have never died my hair if i dyed my hair i feel so it will be disrespectful to sootopolitans, and i couldnt do that...

now cutting my hair is essential though because you need to have a good hairstyle and that involves cutting your hair often so yeah

my favorite game i don't play video games at all so to be honest i don't really like video games and i don't have a favorite though i keep hearing this one game called among us and it makes me want to slam my head into a wall

favorite pokemon? kyogr- no- milotic. it is the only one that is there for me (f*cking steven)

i posted too much today and clogged so many tags...

i have leaped head first into this new au

to the point now i am gonna instead focus on my au version of wallace

i'm going to unpin my regular wallace head cannons and focus on this new version for now

who knows how long it will last

i will post my notes for this version of wallace for the au

i will focus mostly on wallace

steven can be an evolving and growing character

i will post ideas and random things about the alternate universe

i'm just trying to have fun and be a bit weird

i was still post regular steven and wallace things as well this is just a side project

and i am always open for thoughts and opinions

sorry for apologizing too much

wait

anyways i'm really sorry for posting so much and announcing a lot of random changes i think this is just gonna be a very evolving tumblr

Team magma and team aqua's ideal will differ

-

I'm curious, did you have any plans about that quite yet? What those ideals may be?

(also Abt the ship name - terminal runs off the tongue better than terminus or termination)

-clearza

to be honest i don't quite have an idea for team aqua yet

or team magma

the only thing i can say is that i am very much debating making it edgy

arceus help me, im gonna give innocent men trauma

about the ship name, I love it :>

Maybe have the aqua/magma Steven/Wallace be called termination/end shipping? Opposite of origin and all. Would fit! :)

-clearza

i never thought of that.

i don't even need to say anything because that works and i don't need to add anything

i appreciate it thank you so much

i don't know the other one

vote for lusamine

she cared more about an ultra beast than her own children

Bad Mom Awards — Round 1, Part 1

Nominated for: "Controlling, verbally abusive, tries to kill kids when they disobey her" & "Set up a whole war with the hopes that his children would suck up ultimate darkness into their souls"

first of all let us get this clear steven is part of team magma and wallace is part of team aqua i'm sorry you cannot switch them around

because my brain do the silly funny i decided yup this is a good idea time to make them evil or good and not exactly sure probably evil

if anybody knows about harden shipping then well this is basically gonna be that but steven and wallace i'm not gonna make a name for this cause it feel like it will be weird

any who

yes they are the leaders of the teams because that makes it infinitely more fun

first of all i know that people have already done this

steven and wallace are gonna be divorced why because i said so

maxi and archie are gonna be the champions

(text to speech mis-spelled maxies name rip)

now i feel that team magma and team aqua's ideal will differ

because steven and wallace are the leaders and obviously they are different

hold up

team aqua is gonna look fabulous

i can't draw wallace because my camera doesn't work and i can't use digital art

if anybody wants to draw the concepts i would love to see it but i'm not saying directly to do it i'm not gonna forcing anybody to do it

i am using text to speech because i am simply too lazy hold up isn't it speech to text

that was stupid on my part

i apologize please forgive me

basically i'm just rambling

asks for wallace are still open but you have to submit instead of ask sorry about that but you can also ask about this a. u. if you are curious

sorry about this ridiculously long post

I aM thIS CLOsE to maKinG a Team Magma and Aqua Steven and Wallace AU

opinions or thoughts or suggestions?

I've complained about this before and I'll do it again, I am very disappointed and sad about the lack of Wallace merch out there. All I want is a little keychain for my work keys, so when I'm having a bad day or stressful day I can look at him and give myself an ounce of serotonin to get me through my day.

If there are any artists who make acrylic keychains and are open to commissions, let me know! I will pay extra if I have to

C'mon, pokemon Fandom, don't just favorite the new trainers 😭

so i guess i am stuck with steven and wallace

steven and wallace's gay energy is gonna get to me

if you dare tell me i am obsessed with steven and wallace i will

uh

do nothing cause you're absolutely right

You are trapped in an elevator with the person on your lockscreen. Who is it?

Reblog with who you get stuck with~

wallace looks so good!

i love that wallace has the champions cloak!

i really appreciate N's alternative vibe!

wallace may or may not be guilty of calling lance's spear a lance

more redesignsss

lance is actually holding a spear. everyone calls it a lance and he gets mad at them
