Description
Blame it on the voices that told you to do itYou've got a revolver and some bullets
Reach forΒ the trigger and pull it!
-Fox Stevenson, "Trigger"
Still emotionally invested in Twitch Plays Pokemon for all the wrong reasons.
Headcanons for TPPC are shaping up to be really interesting. While the idea that Red was possessed against his will and came out of the experience half-dead and bitter is unanimous, AJ is a different story. While Red did his best to fight the Mob and lost, AJ willingly goes with the flow and sometimes even obeys them willingly.
Of course, there's still rough spots in AJ's adventure; I can't imagine he's too pleased about the Mob's fighting leading to his Pokemon being released. But AJ is a cute kid that honestly enjoys what's going on, loves getting badges and exploring Johto, and while he might not have chosen it to happen quite this way he's still just a dork having fun that likes to bump into walls and dance around Pokemon Centers just because he can (and because the voices tell him to).
So what's going to happen when Red and AJ meet? There's already a strong theme of "no gods, no kings, only mon". Is it going to build up to a battle between not just Red and AJ, but a battle between the one who was dragged along unwillingly every step of the way and the one that openly embraces the Mob?
Either way, it's gonna be pretty intense, and not gonna be pretty.
Okay, now on to the picture itself.
Red:
+ is mostly unchanged from his canon design, but has a Twitch pin on his hat
+ has the Helix Fossil, the most important thing to him
+ the Mob manifested as Missingno for him, and possessed him directly; basically an eldritch abomination he can't comprehend and is afraid to, definitely something otherworldly
+ blank/sad expression due to being directly possessed
AJ:
+ wearing Twitch colours and has purple eyes
+ has the Pokegear (styled as a cellphone bc I didn't want to look up a reference) with "Call Joey" on it as his most important thing
+ the Mob manifested as Unown this time around, something definitely unreal but with a less dangerous feeling, and the commands are written out behind him; AJ still hears voices, but instead of them having direct control he's still got a choice in the matter (and chose to follow them)
+ determined expression, consciously wanting to be Champion
woooo
also kind of a redraw of this , just adapted to fit my headcanons now that i'm developing them more

One of the funniest things I ever heard about Twitch Plays Pokemon is "CALL JOEY AND TALK DIRTY TO HIM"

Joey is the one thing the Twitch chat agrees on, I stg. They'll fight over everything else, but as soon as Joey calls all of that stops because JOEY. xD
