Tsme - Tumblr Posts
Mairin is far from Alain's first travel companion, but he never talks about any of his old ones, only mentioning he's ever had others a few times. Mairin keeps trying to unlock his Tragic Backstory™️ the truth is Alain just forgot their names and doesn't really want to admit that.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, TSME & XY&Z FANS
On 3 April 2014: Act I of the Strongest Mega Evolution (TSME), also known as the Mega Evolution Specials, aired in Japan and introduced us to the adventures of Alan, Manon/Mairin, Lizardon/Charizard and Hari-san/Chespie, beloved characters who defined the final arc of the Pokémon XY&Z anime. 3 April 2024 will mark the 10th anniversary of Act I! 10 years is a special number. In celebration, join in from 3 APRIL to 9 APRIL 2024 for a week dedicated to loving TSME, where art and writing in any form is welcome! The prompts will be released in January, leaving 2 months and a half for everyone to prepare something. The guidelines on how to participate will also be included. Visit and follow this blog to stay updated, and/or to check out information! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop an ask on this blog, or @potahun. Do you have prompts that you would like to see featured? Feel free to drop suggestions in the ask box!
See you for TSME Week!!
Alain!! (it's him!) ((I never posted this art of im so very sorr))
(bonus little doodle here :D context: i was playing mc with my friends, i had him on)
Perla post!! (transparent image edition.)
Basically she's my Anipoke / pokeani / pokemon anime oc. (Specifically XY series because the brainrot. is happening. frequently.)
-pronouns are she/they.
-she's from Laverre City, Kalos. Formerly worked as a gym trainer / furisode girl there.
-she uses Audino as her ace Pokemon (yes it can also Mega Evolve.)
-She doesn't really have a goal, not really wanting to be the strongest. More of a moral support person, but she does have an interest in sewing.
Still working on her story & how she fits in with everything going on in Kalos. (OC x Canon? Idk, looking at my notes rn... its uh. More canon than OC. <- is that ok with yall?)
(Messy) Warm up sketch! I'm gonna draw this fella and a few others for a week, so I gotta get used to his whole design. (the scarf...)
I miss drawing him too...
TSME WEEK 2024 - DAY 2
Prompt: Miare / Lumiose
"Chespie? Chespie, where are you?"
Alain called out the moment he entered inside the giant rock. He had to keep going. He went out so far, this was his goal now. He had to protect everyone-
...
That wasn't the case.
Content Warning: Blood, Injury.
TSME WEEK 2024 - DAY 3
Prompt: Mission
"I call this one... Operation... Mask er, Raid! Yeah!" Perla suggested a name.
"That... is the dumbest name I've ever heard." Alain responded.
"By the way, how did you get the name in the first place?" On the other hand, Steven was curious.
"Oh, I got inspired by Clemont's inventions."
"No wonder..." Alain rolled his eyes.
Mairin rushed to their corner, the green dress trailing off. "There's officials coming our way!"
"Its fine, I'm a champion-" The Hoenn Champion proceeds to be dragged off into a corner, leaving the other girl behind to deal with it.
"Well... Operation Mask er Raid is a go."
“Since yesterday’s work was private, there’s a skip in the numbering… anyway, here’s a test animation in brush pen. No, it didn’t need to be Alan, but since this was ink work I picked a dark-coloured character.”
By Anipoke animator Masaaki Iwane - the piece he posted yesterday was animated! Another example (amongst many many many others) of his sheer utter awesomeness ;;
