thinking about game mechanics as things that just exist in the world is honestly hysterical and a little terrifying. there is something fundamentally wrong with the ten year olds here.
Hello submas fandom! I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me.
Have a 5 minute animatic exploring post-PLA Emmet in a world where Ingo was never able to make it back home (at least not alive). This took me months and nearly killed me /j (just like it killed a certain someone hahahaha).
If tumblr messed up the first few seconds of the video like it's doing in the preview, just know the beginning text says:
Mind if I just — *hits them with the Boricua beam*
Elesa’s PERFECT afro-boricua design is by @pcktknife it opened my third eye, watered my crops, slapped me right on the ass, etc etc. Pls give them more love on this post
It’ll be really hard to translate the thick puerto rican dialect but I do that for Los Brujos well enough, I guess lmao
Elesa: You know I’m glad we’re headed to the party together…since GyaraTHREE is better than GyaraTWO*
Fero: Oh please, Elesa.
Caril: Booo, retire. Tomato, tomato 🍅
Elesa: toMATO?? How’d you like it if I hurt you, train boy??
Fero: Cheeky cheeky…**
*Its a pun for Gyarados; ‘dos’ means two, ‘tres’ means three. You get it. I hope.
**in PR, kids say “a chiqui chiqui mangue” when others get scolded. Adults playfully say it to each other too, usually in a mocking tone.
- all three of them speak spanglish. I imagine Elesa grew up in Nimbasa and the boys immigrated from [pokemon equivalent of my home lmao], so they have distinct accents, but understand each other perfectly.
- Elesa’s name in the spanish version of the game is Camila, but I think the name Elesa works in a hispanic background just as well. Naturally, she should have both names and then some…Elesa Camila Lucia Esperanza Providencia — I could go on—
- Puerto Ricans (and most of us in the Caribbean, honestly) speak very fast — Fero’s infodumping would only be tripled by how FAST he can run over every letter of his words.
- the boys look like Iscan’s primos and Im fine with that because as we all agreed Iscan is the best character the games have given us. Period.
- in this version, Ingo/Fero says santa cachucha just like in the anime dub. Because holy shit.
i wonder when anyone is going to tell the league (in Battle Addict au) that straight jackets are actually pretty bad at keeping people actually restrained when they can think clearly hruoiehgboerhg
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivuuJxX1hXg (when praciced, its even easier to get out of than shown here lol))
but this au is incredibly interesting! fascinating looking at how the public reacts to things in the extreme and how the people who they target suffer for it, and how much misinformation is spread.
really got me curious how they sped their time and how this effects emmets mental state. it cant be easy with everyone acting like hes a monster. and while ingo doesn't get the majority of the attention- if must be so hard to see his brother suffering like this. and im sure he isn't spared so scorn as well.
really really fascinating- and a verrrry clear reminder of what people used to think mental disorders were like and how people with them were treated.
Funny thing: that’s partially why there’s some minor edits to Emmet’s straitjacket. There’s a narrow bar that his arms have to slot through, as well as a set of belts tied to his upper arms to keep them from moving too far from resting position. Homeboy weaseled out of the first one after like two weeks and they said "ok do it again this time mf" and handed him the new one.
The league would probably put Emmet on "leave" (house arrest) if they saw him get out of another one/realize the strait wouldn't work. That is probably what's keeping him from breaking out more than the actual jacket is.
As for mental state,
The household is certainly seeing more absences and mental health days. The worst part about the diagnosis for Emmet is that everything he used to enjoy has lost its worth because any time he sits down to study, he's just proving he is crazy and battle obsessed. He forces himself out of his old habits but he doesn't have anything to fill the void so he's stuck in a perpetual state of being exhausted and disinterested. Ingo may or may not be subconsciously picking up these beliefs as well
Thank you for your ask! Took a while to respond cause of school, but I do hope to outline more about their lives and habits when I get free time. I gotta run though, so see you guys later ^^
