Happy anniversary to these dorks! Ive liked them since i was like 13 and i still like them now (im being held hostage by them help)

In me & my twin's fanstory, "Hoenn Heroes", Archie & Maxie first met at age 18, while working for a Hoenn branch of Team Rocket. They ended up falling in love. However, something happened that split them apart. Instead of leaving Team Rocket together, like they had initially planned, Archie left without warning. Not only did this upset Maxie, but when he finally caught up with Archie, he acted as if he was a completely different person. Heartbroken, Maxie broke up with Archie. Maxie remained bitter towards Archie, to a point where he began to antagonize him. He did have his own reasons for his aspirations towards expanding the land, but he also used this position to stifle Archie whenever he could. Anyway, I'm not going to give away too much, but where they are now, they end up forced to face their feelings for each other once again. Separated from their teams, on a mission given to them by Mr. Stone, they set out on an adventure. Together.

BONUS: Here are sketches of young Archie & Maxie:

I have used my epic graphic design skills to make this poster. Since it has been decided that Hardenshipping week (tumblr version) will happen NEXT WEEK from the results of the poll i did yesterday, here are the prompts! It will be a GREAT opportunity for more people to draw yaoi (+yuri for day 6)!

Tag YOUR 🫵 creation with the hashtag #hardenshippingweek and/or #hardenshippingweek2025!

If you want to NOT participate or stop participating after joining, that is OK ! Due to artfight happening next month, i can see why people might not want to join in! And that is perfectly fine! I didn’t finish mine either! 😃
