i was working on a frantic fic last week on vacation about secret relationships & celebrity etc but knowing me i might never finish it so heres some [disconnected] bits of prose that i enjoyed :3x

i’m not much of a fic writer at all, but i needed to get how i think about them (ruby as a celebrity coordinator, sapphire as the hoenn champion) out somehow lmao. that last bit is how i want to end it; the idea of a multichapter fic is very intimidating to me but also as a oneshot what i wanted to do with it feels disjointed so idk lmao ( again, presuming i couldwould even finish it)

#franticshipping #rusa #pokespe #pokemon #trainer ruby #trainer sapphire #sapphire birch #fic #fanfiction #fic writing #writing #etc whatever #sorry for all of the word salad im STILL SICK somehow #after not working on this for a week im not super optimistic abt my prospects of finishing it #... which is why im posting the scraps here lmao

Made for Franticshipping Week @rusaweek , Day 1: Date

I'm a fan of the Pokémon Special manga for a longer time, but this is my first PokéSpe-related fanart (not counting manga redrawing and coloring). As I think generic date wouldn't fit characters, I have drawn something different. It's a date in Petalburg Woods, as Sapphire feels best surrounded by nature and Ruby knows it. There are also some Pokémon who are available in Petalburg Wood in OmegaRuby/Alpha Sapphire games, so also Cottonee from 5th generation who appears there after beating/catching Primal Groudon/Primal Kyogre.

~Franticshipping Week 2020 Day 6 Entry~

Day 6: Alternate Universe

A COLLAB WITH @hei-jessi-does-art​!!!! She did the sketch and line art while I did the coloring. Day 6 is about “Alternate Universe” and this is an AU where Ruby didn’t trap Sapphire in the aircar. Things didn’t go well after that, however.

[ruby3818]

Is there a franticshipping day/week for the Western fandom? If not would anyone be interested in one?

Probably won't be until next year since the 80 days are over but I was thinking of organizing a week if people were interested.

#franticshipping #pokespe #rusa day is 3rd of june in Japan so we could probably still use that day but idk #a week of prompts would be awesome

Comparing my two favourite ships

Because I’m stupid.

[Originally posted on twitter.]

Basically, a rant.

There are a few parallels between franticshipping/RuSa and NekuShiki. It's funny. The characters in both ships aren't the same in terms of personality, especially Neku and Ruby. While Sapphire can have a similarity with Shiki, her "jealousy" is actually the product of insecurity.

Though, there's one parallel I'd like to point out. For NekuShiki, he didn't like Shiki at first but he liked her eventually once he saw the real Shiki. For Ruby and Sapphire, it's very similar. While they immediately hit it off in their first meeting as children, they didn't hit it off on their second meeting. In fact, Ruby and Sapphire never actually learned how to appreciate one another until they spent their time in mirage island. Even before their confessions, they already started growing feelings for each other during their training on mirage island. Sapphire confessed to him before they faced Groudon and Kyogre whilst Ruby was forced to agree with Courtney's offer just so the orb wouldn't control Sapphire. He would rather let the orb control Courtney than Sapphire. And as we move forward, you can clearly see in ORAS that not only their feelings for one another grow but they're also the best of friends. It's such a beautiful relationship that I would never shut up about and no matter what ships I see, I will always remember Ruby and Sapphire's relationship. 

I also noticed another similarity between NekuShiki and franticshipping/RuSa: Their character development depends on each other. For NekuShiki, Shiki learned to accept herself thanks to Neku and Neku learned how to open up with people. [His entry fee in the next games made so much sense. Pre-week 1 Neku wouldn't do that] For RuSa, Ruby and Sapphire learned to accept their past and current selves thanks to each other. Sapphire learned to appreciate the city and the things that Ruby likes. On the other hand, Ruby also learned to appreciate nature thanks to Sapphire. Ruby and Sapphire's character development are co-dependent with each other. Removing the other and separating them would just make Ruby or Sapphire just bland characters. But, together, they're in their maximum potential.

we’ll figure it out [fic]

Fandom: Pokémon Special Relationship: Ruby/Sapphire [Franticshipping] Rating: Let’s say a soft T. I’m not sure if there’s anything to really qualify it, but I’d rather be on the safe side. Genre: Fluff (an attempt, at least) Word Count: 1403

It’s mid-afternoon, and Ruby and Sapphire haven’t been doing much of anything. They’re just spending time in their latest secret base (yet another cave): until a few minutes ago, they had been arguing about the decor again, but since the conversation fizzled out it’s quiet. “D’you ever think about the future?” Sapphire asks, unprompted. She’s not looking him in the eye, instead staring at the ceiling of the cave above their heads, fiddling with the Swablu doll Ruby had given her just a few weeks before. Ruby pauses, considering the question. He’s not sure he likes where this conversation is going: he actively tries not to think about the distant future. Tomorrow, or a week or a month from now, those are fine. But he doesn’t want to think about ten or twelve years in the future. “What do you mean by that?” “You know what I mean!” she says, seeming a little annoyed at his feigned ignorance, but the only action she takes is throwing the Swablu doll she’s holding at his face. “The future! Not tomorrow, but... Years from now. One or two or ten, I dunno.” He nods after a moment, catching the doll when she throws it his way and setting it on the rug next to them both. “Yes, Sapph, I know. I used to think about it a lot... Not so much anymore, though.” Sapphire narrows her eyes, looking at him like he’s suddenly a completely different person. He’s a tiny bit offended, actually, because is it really that hard to believe? Honestly, he’s always preferred to avoid problems and she knows that (more than anyone, really), so he’s pretty surprised by her response. “You? Not worrying about something?” she asks incredulously. Oh, so that’s why she’s surprised. That makes a little more sense, actually. “Why not?” He shrugs, wondering if he can get away with that as his answer. Sapphire’s eyes narrow again, and he knows he can’t. He’s got to think of an answer that won’t upset her, and is also true, because when he promised not to lie to her he meant it. It doesn’t actually take as long as he expects it to. “I guess it’s just… We’ve gotten this far, right? Think about it, all the things we’ve done.” Sapphire blushes, and he’s not sure why until she speaks. “Um… Do you mean dexholder stuff, or--” “Dexholder stuff, yeah,” he quickly cuts her off, unable to hide the blush on his face. Best to stop that train of thought now, before he gets distracted. He would definitely rather be thinking about the other things, but Sapphire is right there, and he’s pretty sure she brought this up for a reason. Which means she probably won’t approve if he suggests dropping the conversation in favor of other things, tempting as it is. “Dexholder stuff we’ve done… Yeah, there has been a lot of it. I guess you’re right... For once,” she adds with a teasing smile. He playfully shoves her in response, and she falls back against a pile of the Poké Dolls he’s filled the base with in the last few weeks, despite her protests. “Hey!” “Don’t be mean,” he says simply, sticking his tongue out at her as she props herself up again and makes a rude hand gesture in his general direction. “Thank you for that, Sapphire. That is absolutely a necessary contribution to this conversation. Anyway, we’ve done a lot, right?” Sapphire hums thoughtfully, considering their past accomplishments. “Saved all of Hoenn…” “Or the entire planet…” “One…” she raises one finger. “Two…” A second. ”Three times?” She looks up at him, holding up her hand. “Is that right?” Ruby nods, and on a sudden impulse (one he’ll blame on her influence later, he’s sure) he reaches out to grab her hand. Giving her a bright smile, he continues: “And what do all three of those things have in common, Sapphire?” “Are you trying to become a teacher or something?” Sapphire asks, but she thinks for a moment and then grins at him as she gives her answer. “We almost died.” He has to stop for a moment to figure out how to respond to that (beyond laughing a little bit, because he really can’t help it, that smile combined with the words is impossible to take seriously). He raises his free hand to his forehead, still holding hers with the other. “Is that the only thing you can think of?” “‘Course not, Ruby. Do you think I’m an idiot or something?” Sapphire frowns at him, punching his shoulder just hard enough that he can feel it, but not enough to actually hurt him. “‘Course not,” he grins at her, mimicking her voice to the best of his ability (which, admittedly, isn’t fantastic). “So…?” “So,” she mimics, not much better than his own attempt. She rolls her eyes at him, but smiles anyway. “…We had help, right? We didn’t do any of it alone.” “Closer to what I was trying to say, but not quite,” he laughs, squeezing her hand. Sapphire closes her eyes, trying to think. “Closer, huh? What do you mean?” The look on her face as she tries to concentrate is probably in the top five cutest things Ruby has ever seen. You’re cute, he almost says, but he doesn’t want to distract her. Instead he turns his eyes up, watching the ceiling to try and resist the temptation. The silence between them continues for a few minutes, before Sapphire sighs. “Can’t ya just tell me what it is?” “Do you actually want me to?” Ruby asks, finally looking away from the ceiling. She opens one eye to playfully glare at him. “Yes,” she says, shoving him lightly. He lets himself fall, but uses the fact that he’s still holding her hand to drag her down with him. They stay on the carpet-covered cave floor for a few moments, before pulling themselves up. “We had each other,” Ruby says quietly. “That’s all.” Sapphire is silent for a few absolutely agonizing moments (or maybe it’s minutes, he’s not really sure, it just feels like forever), and Ruby waits for her to start laughing, or throw the Swablu doll at him again, or remind him of all the times they didn’t have each other (or, more accurately, of all the times he failed her). “Didn’t realize you wanted the obvious answer,” she says eventually, and it’s not the reaction he’s expecting. He’s not sure how to respond. After a moment, he just frowns slightly. “What’s that supposed to mean?” She shrugs, swinging their joined hands a little. “Don’t be like that. You’re always so complicated, that’s what it means. With you, the easy answer is never the right one.” Despite his questioning look, she doesn’t elaborate on that, instead choosing to continue: “Of course we’ve got each other. You’re my best friend. Even when you’re an idiot.” The question of why is on the tip of his tongue (why is she still here, after everything), but he bites it back and smiles instead. She’s smiling right now, and he doesn’t want to be the one to ruin that. “Same to you, Sapph. And that’s why I’m not worried. Whatever happens, we’ll figure it out together. We always do.” “I guess you’re right. You know, it’s kinda silly, but… I don’t even remember what I was worried about anymore.” “That’s a good thing, right?” “Yeah, it is.” A moment later, Ruby suddenly stands, pulling her up alongside him with a grin. “Now come on!” Sapphire reluctantly lets herself be dragged along behind him with a sigh of resignation, and Ruby smiles, pleased with her lack of protest. She does, however, ask one question: “Where are we going?” “I forgot, but I made you something the other day! I meant to bring it, but I ended up leaving it at home…” Sapphire pauses, stopping them in their tracks, and Ruby sighs dramatically as she starts to complain. “I swear, Ruby, if this is you trying to get me in a dress again--” “C’mon, Sapph, don’t you have any faith in me?” “Not when it comes to ‘fashion’, no.” Even as Ruby stops dragging Sapphire along with him, content just to walk hand in hand most of the way, the sound of good-natured arguing (and an attempted lecture on the benefits of fashion) follows them all the way back to Littleroot Town.

~Franticshipping Week 2020 day 1 entry~

Title: These Obvious Suspicions

Summary: The Johto Dexholders along with Emerald have their speculations that Ruby and Sapphire are dating and all decided to "observe" the two just to find out if their hunches were correct.

Sneak peek:

Gold threw his head back and laughed. "Well, duh!" he cried. "You have long hair and I'm a gorgeous man!" Everyone rolled their eyes at that. "Just put these two balls on your chest so they can act like boobs," A vein popped on Crystal's head, as she tried to contain herself from kicking him. "And we can simply disguise ourselves as a couple! Simple as pie!"

That's gay. Emerald thought, watching the two argue until Crystal moved the stroller away from them before she could cause a scene with Gold by sending him pain.
