Current mood: STUPID SEXY WALLACE

[railenthe]

In case that makes no sense, here's an explanation.

In Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire there is this gym leader, Wallace. (In Emerald HE WAS THE DAMN CHAMPION). In the remakes they heavily allude that after your victory that he's gonna take over that role for REASONS at some point.

A google search will show you what he started off looking like BUT TO SAVE YOU SOME TIME AND KILL YOUR BRAIN NOW THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH NOW. I MEAN LOOK. THIS IS OFFICIAL. AND IT'S STRIPPERIFFIC. ON A GUY. AND IT IS GLORIOUS. AND MY BRAIN IS GONE.



Fricken frak-hell right?

YEAH.

YES that outfit has AB WINDOWS. HIP WINDOWS. IT IS A PERFECT KUJA OUTFIT WERE HE FEELING CONSERVATIVE ONE DAY.

(you know, except that he's voiced by Morikawa out of game in recent material, and in a delicious piece of hilarity there's this moment in game where he helps you STOP a calamity from the skies DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SOMEONE WE KNOW)

And this is exacerbated by the fact that I have a plot bunny brewing with this other guy here.

This guy right here is Steven Stone. Doesn't he rock HAHAHA SEE WHAT I DID THERE pleasedontkillme


Son of a corporation's president, rock collector who craves that mineral and current champion, not to mention a REALLY FREAKING SHARP DRESSER I MEAN COME ON. Really chill, almost icy, logical, and when that giant disaster strikes proposes this solution that will basically take the meteor and chuck it somewhere else another world out there (who cares what happens to that other world out there FUCK that we need to save US WAIT DOES THIS SOUND A LITTLE FAMILIAR EH-HEH WAIT. Oh look. Voice credit--Ishida.)

It took about an hour to un-scramble the egg that is my brain here. I had a case of what I'll call Tsun-ship here—"IT'S NOT LIKE I SHIP IT OR ANYTHING."

WELP.

((Also, I've taken the opportunity to show a friend that Akira Ishida is, in fact, in EVERYTHING and broken her brain in showing her that MORIKAWA was in Yu-Gi-Oh, so all in all, GOOD DAY aside from my brain being invaded by many many inappropriate thoughts because I MEAN COME ON LOOK.))

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I am so glad someone else caught on to it and decided to unleash insanity.

(The moment I heard Ishida in the trailer I promptly laughed myself silly over the Wallace/Steven potential and then knew if/when I was ever going to finish writing my playthrough, my PC was going to insist they were an item.)

LOVE THIS ENTRY. LOVE IT. AND YOU TOO. <3

EVERY TIME I TRY TO MENTION STUPID SEXY WALLACE MY CONNECTION DIES. XD

ROSALINDE SHIPS IT, FOR THE RECORD

ALSO AWW SHUCKS YOU.

I was looking things up because reasons, and I needed to know a thing--I was still in "IT'S NOT LIKE I SHIP IT OR ANYTHING" and as you can see my brain made associations. I'd intended on finding out what they both sounded like in English, but then I accidentally the seiyuu…and I went "whut?"

And when I saw Morikawa's name I had to see if they went there, they can't have possibly went there, they couldn't possibly have gone there, they wouldn't…

Except they did

And my brain went CLICK.

The pairing even has a name. Originshipping.

OF ALL THE THINGS I EXPECTED IN THIS NEW YEAR, TWO OF MY NEW FAVORITE PAIRINGS TO COME FROM POKEMON WEREN'T IT.

the other one is Hardenshipping because reasons

YOUR CONNECTION IS AS TSUN AS THIS SHIP!

[kuro_pantsu]

AWESOME.

Yeah it was pretty suspect even before then but once the seiyuu were mentioned I too found myself going ".....dammit."

So um...*cough* I err did a little bit of research and found that Origin shipping in Japanese is called 'ミクダイ' (MikuDai) and oh wouldn't you know there happen to be Pixiv tags... :3

MikuDai tag
Tsuwabaki Daigo tag (Steven Stone)
Mikuri tag (Wallace)
ORAS tag

Also I know it is pure happenstance but I am laughing so hard at the element choices and the unfortunate coincidences seiyuu name wise. (Given that the 川(kawa) in 森川(Morikawa) happens to translate as 'river' and uh... funnily enough the 石(Ishi) in 石田(Ishida) translates as 'stone'... Admittedly I thought of the laws of pokemon elements back when I first got into MoriIshi (actually it's a double whammy as the '森' Mori part means 'forest') but when I found out about this it was so perfect I was on the floor giggling.)

That is such a glorious name... HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THAT NAME!? Though I'll admit the Japanese nickname 'SAM' is pretty charming as well...

EDIT TO INCLUDE HARDENSHIPPING LINKS:

Team Aqua page pixiv encyclopedia
Team Magma page pixiv encyclopedia
Aogiri pixiv encyclopedia page (Archie)
Matsubusa pixiv encyclopedia page (Maxie)
Matsubusa tag (Maxie)
Aogiri tag (Archie)
AoMatsu tag (Hardenshipping)
SAM pixiv encylopedia page (Hardenshipping name)
SAM tag (Hardenshipping again)

PHEWF.

*ROLLS ON THE GROUND* YOU THREW IN HARDENSHIPPING ON TOP OF IT *FLAILING LIKE MAD* LAKDJF *dies*

[railenthe]

I was thrown for a loop like "HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE TYPE WHO WOULD BE" aaaaand then type matchups hit and then I think to myself "well he would be a very nice view" and then I had to take myself to church because clearly I need Jesus.

So much pretty. So much HAWT. YASS.

I GIGGLED FOR FIVE MINUTES TRYING TO FIGUER OUT WHY THE HELL THEY WENT THERE AND THEN I FIGURED OUT WHAT THEY DID THERE AND THEN I WAS GIGGLING AGAIN BECAUSE I HIT PAGE-DOWN AND...HARDCORE PIC AND THERE'S THE TAG AGAIN.

[kuro_pantsu]

P.S. WALLACE'S NEW LOOK IS THE BEST THING EVER. THE BEST. I CANNOT HELP BUT WIPE A TEAR.

The plot idea may or may not involve a stripper pole

[railenthe]

And by may or may not involve I mean

it totally involves a stripper pole.

I mean the first time you see the man in his gym you get a flash photo view of dat ass

[kuro_pantsu]

I HAVE YET TO MAKE IT TO HIS GYM. ;___; (Though this certainly provides ample motivation to do so...)

YOU KNOW I CAN'T RESIST IDEAS INVOLVING STRIPPER POLES. OF COURSE I'M GOING TO GET BEHIND THAT!

[railenthe]

I DON'T GET WHAT MY BRAIN IS DOING

I NORMALLY WIND UP HEADCANONING A VIRTUOSO OF SOME SORT INTO THINGS

AND HERE I'VE GONE AND GOT A STRIPPER. AND LOOK AT HIM IN STANDARD MODE NO LESS.

THE MAN IS ON DISPLAY
HE KNOWS HE IS ON DISPLAY
HE IS EXPLOITING THE FACT THAT HE IS ON DISPLAY
WHEN YOU MEET HIM YOU WILL SEE WHY MY BRAIN HAS GONE "STUPID SEXY WALLACE!"

RELATED-ISH

[railenthe]

Tabitha's redesign IS THE CUTEST THING EVER. I, MYSELF, WANT TO HUG HIM.
