Bath // Jasper W. Hale.

Jasper Whitlock-Hale x gender neutral!reader.

A/N: Thank you to @steh-lar-uh-nuhs for sharing these. Huge inspiration!

Summary: After the battle with the newborns, you give Jasper a bath to make him relax.

Fluff. A little suggestive. Reference to hypnosis?

The Cullen's make their way back home, everyone let out a sigh of relief and tiredness after such an encounter. Emmet collapses on the couch and Rosalie sits elegantly by his side, Alice makes her back to her room, her eyes unfocused as she sees different futures of what's to come. Carlisle and Esme just silently make their way to their room.

Although they're vampires who's bodies can't get tired, they are mentally exhausted. The tension hasn't faded but Jasper it's too tired to try and make them feel calm, which makes him feel worse because everyone's emotions are affecting his.

His right side it's burning with new bite marks that go from his shoulder to his forearm.

At least nobody else got hurt.

Well besides you.

The first signs that something was terribly wrong was when you had a trip to Seattle and returned as a vampire.

Jasper just remembers how scared you were, terrified of this new reality. He feels bad, you wanted to help with the battle but you're a newborn, still adapting, still learning.

He sighs, he basically locked you up in his room and he hates himself for it. At least you got your stuffed animals to keep you company and relive some of the anxiety you felt.

The blonde vampire opens the door and immediately meets you running to his arms. A smile creeps on his face as he picks you up and wraps you in a tight hug.

"Hi." You whisper, Jasper immediately notices the relief in your voice.

"Hello, darlin'." He buries his face on your neck, holding onto your scent and the comfort of your arms, it makes him forget about the venom that's running through his body.

"You smell like those dogs." You speak with a slight frown. Jasper chuckles and sniffs his hoodie, yeah, he does smell like wolves.

"How about we take a bath?" You asked with a flirty tone, pulling him by his wrist. The blonde smirks and follows behind.

"I see you've already settled in, sugar." He teases as he almost trips over one of your plushies. You giggled and pick up some things for the bath.

Jasper takes a glare of his room, it's mostly neutral colors, old photos and furniture. And then your things are a splash of color, a light of life.

Jasper rests on the wall, the pain of the venom stinging again. You looked at him worried as you fetch some towels.

"Are you alright, cowboy?" You placed a hand on his bitten arm, making him hiss in pain. You withdrawn your hand immediately.

"It's- n-nothin', hun. Just a couple of bites, nothin' I didn't expect." He explains softly, but the pain it's still on his voice. You nod, not fully convinced.

Jasper catches on the floral scent the bathroom holds now, you wave him to come inside, he smirks and takes his hoodie off.

"Stripping already?" You teased. The blonde chuckles and wraps his arms around your waist, locking his pale lips against yours. He holds the kiss, needing your touch after such an exhausting day.

He glares at your now ruby red eyes. He swore to protect you and the only day he didn't follow you somewhere you returned dead.

You kissed him again before your hands brush down his chest. Your touch is no longer warm but he feels like it is. Like the warmth you held never left you.

You pulled his shirt up, he didn't resist you at all. Your eyes widen at the sight of the bites. Jasper looks at his arm.

They look...like a normal bite would, if there's any normality in that, teeth buried deep and a horrible bruising surrounding it. Jasper sighs and closes his eyes, he feels your hand cupping his cheek.

"I'm alright, pumpkin." He tells you and kisses your forehead.

You help undress each other between giggles and teases. Jasper gets on the water, helping you to get inside.

The water it's warm, with one of your bath bombs fizzling and tinting the water pink. The scent of lavender lingers on the air and some candles were lit to make the setting more romantic.

His bathroom was very plain, white and clean, with the constant changing of home he doesn't really put much thought into decorations, but since you started dating your skincare and other stuff were lighting up his surroundings. Now his bath has all these candles, bath bombs and fancy soaps.

He sighs and makes himself comfortable. He feels your hands on his head, removing leaves and small sticks off his hair.

"Can I wash your hair, my dear?" You asked softly, Jasper nods and closes his eyes. He feels you pouring some water on his hair.

He holds your waist close to him, feeling your body, his fingers caressing up and down the curve of your back.

"I'm not going to break anymore, cowboy." You whisper as you notice his delicate touch, he doesn't change it.

He leans and kisses your lips, there's some neediness on his kiss but not desperation, he keeps it's slow and sensual.

You pour some shampoo on his golden locks, your fingers start massaging his scalp in gentle circles. Jasper moans softly, making you shiver, his lips travel down your jaw.

"You're too quiet." You whisper with clear worry, Jasper kisses down your neck, a gentle and loving kiss placed on the bite mark that lies on your neck.

"I know. I'm sorry. I just can't help thinking about- the past." He whispers against your skin, his hands holding you close and his lips kissing your shoulders.

"It's weird. I've been hurt so much before- but this is different." He keeps whispering as you massage his head.

"What do you mean?" You ask with a gentle whisper, Jasper takes a second before answering you.

"Everytime I got hurt. Bitten. I just had to...keep going. Keep fighting. Ignore the pain, ignore my emotions and discomfort." He speaks with a lingering anger, he holds you a little rougher.

"But here- with you- I can allow myself to feel. To process what's happening. I would- I used to take my mind somewhere. Think about something else, dissociate completely." He takes a deep breath. You only listen to him, feeling your heart break as he keeps talking about his past, you rinse the shampoo off.

He looks at his new marks. Your fingers caress his scars with a soft touch, making him smile, he kisses your forehead.

"I didn't had anyone to caress me. To kiss me. To hug me when I was feeling down. And definitely no one to prepare me a bath." He chuckles and locks lips once more with you. He meets your eyes and you can see this shine in his.

A glimmer of hope.

"Thank you, sugar. For everything. You brought me back to life." He smiles and kisses you again, cupping your jaw, you lean on his touch and deepen the kiss. Jasper's hands have a strong grip on your waist, not wanting to let you go.

He buries his face on your neck and takes deep breaths. Your fingers run through his hair, undoing the knots with conditioner. A smile on your face as you enjoy this tender movement.

His breath is even, he doesn't need to breath, but it feels so nice to take in your scent over and over. If he was human he would be passed out because he feels so relaxed, safe.

"I love you." You whispered as you did your best to not damage the curls of his hair you loved so much. Jasper's eyes flutter closed. Since you became a vampire you had this ability of just making him feel so relaxed, he thought you did wonders when you were human but now it's so...

"I think you might have a gift, darlin'." His words sound slurry, almost like a human who's falling asleep. You blinked at his statement.

"Oh. Well- we'll sort that on another day, let's just enjoy that today is over." You whispered, your voice holding that soothing sound of one of a professional hypnotist. He smirks, this it's going to be really interesting to figure out.

He closed his eyes once more and let you take care of him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: Hello! It's been a little while, I know, I'm sorry, and I'm not going to say I'm going to post more constantly because I'm back to school.

Also, if you want to request things with the reader having a hypnosis/mind control gift I wouldn't mind. I've been thinking a lot about it because I just like hypnosis. What can I say.

𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐃𝐑. Almost 20 years! But time for me as a vampire is diffrent (i will explain that later lmao) 𝐀𝐆𝐄: as a vampire literally from 0-20 lmao 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒: still single butttt we are close to something lmao

「 ✦ 𝓼𝓽𝓪𝓻𝓽 𝓷𝓸𝓽𝓮𝓼 ✦ 」

hello? how are we feeling? I AM SO BACK? i'm super happy tell what happened, but everything will go super fast until cullens and I will move to forks

sooo let's get starteeeeeeeed

「 ✦ before forks ✦ 」

𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓮 - 𝓫𝓮𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓮 𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓴𝓼

1989 - i become a vampire

89-97 i learn how to live as one of the cullens

97-03 me and cullens live in mountains

2003 - we move to forks

1 9 8 9 - 2 0 0 3

so there is not much to write about, it was basically me learning and living in the mountains with the cullens. That’s when i decided to stay with the cullens as part of a family 🫶 we got to know each other etc. 😋

F O R K S

in 2003 we (finally) moved to forks! AND BEFORE WE MOVE ON:

I TOTALLY RECOMMEND SHIFTING TO TWILIGHT. THE VIBE IS E V E R Y T H I N G AND I WILL NOT DESCRIBE EVERYTHING HERE BC I JUST WANT YOU TO SHIFT THERE AND SEE YOURSELF LMAOOO

the cullens are sooooooooooo sweet and nice i'm literally DYING to see them again when i shift back there!

alice is the sweetest & nicest person on earth. i love her <3

SO

when we moved in, of course me and edward, alice, jasper ,emmet and rosalie needs to go to school, and that's when it all starts!

— ୨୧₊˚ school

it's actually pretty good there - i kept myself with the cullens, we spent whooooole days with each other and it's honestly pretty funny watching everybody from this perspective. (bella moved to forks in 2005, and i will probably skip a lot of things that are not important lmaooo). in school i "met" some of bella's future friends, and i meaaaaaaaaaan they were not giving any good vibe y'know? I JUST DON'T LIKE THEM OKAYYY

alice and edward are literally the best people on earth. THEY HELPED ME SOOO MUCH. gosh. and carlisle and esme???? the cutest oh my goooood.

actually school is pretty fun. i love going to schools in my drs (like hogwarts etc.) it's pretty fun experience!

— ୨୧₊˚ before 2005

pretty much nothing happened before 2005

HAHAHAHAHAHA SIKEEEE

ladies and gentleman, please welcome raphael pelli. bro is MAJESTIC.

basically his father is from Italy and his mother is from US, they decided to stay in USA, they lived in New York, but decided to move to forks where his mom was growing up. AND THAT'S HOW WE MET Y'ALLLLLLLLL.

and when i tell you he just freaking appeared there. literally from nowhere (i did not script how we will met, just a little bit from his backstory, just wanted to play with it and see what will happen!!!)

so one day in 2004, around may i just walked to school, as usual with edward (we were literally spending much more time with each other by then, yk, because alice was with jasper, emmet was with rosalie, we didn't want to interrupt lmao) and we saw some boys gathering around someone, when we walked pass them, i saw freaking raphael pelli. like for a milisecond. BUT WHEN I TELLL YOUUUUUU

timothee was the greatest choice for face claim i ever made LMAO

that was the first time i saw him, later i did not see him much, sometimes our eyes crossed during lunch, but that's all. BUT

yup, there is a BUT

BUT

during one of history classes he rushed in late, apologised and after few seconds of thinking he sat next to me. DUDE

and also i forgot to tell you about on thing. ABOUT SMELL. you know, it's known that vampires smell blood and shit, but i decided to do something a little bit diffrent - scripted that i do not smell just "blood" in general. for example = bella smelled like vanilla mixed with a little bit of honey. you know what i mean? i think it's better than just "a smell of blood". so,

i scripted that raphael smelled like fresh flowers on a glade. and i just sat there, in history class, thinking about that goddamn flowers. AND AFTER THE LESSON ENDED HE TURNED TO ME.

i was like "oh shit" and he went "i'm raphael" and i was still like "oh shit" so i just said "tara." BUT WHEN I TELL YOU that when i shifted i started using vivienne instead of tara. idk why, but it is soooo pretty. so i just added "but i prefer vivienne" AND GOSH

he just asked some questions like "you are living with the cullens?" (yes) "so you are also cullen?" (yes indeed) "people are talking" (people are always talking) "would you like to do the history presentation with me?" (the history teacher always gave us presentations to do in pairs, but i have always done them alone) (i always do them alone) "oh sorry" and i was like shiiiiiiiiiiiiit i fucked up, so i tried in other way (people will think you are a freak) "'why?" (no one talks to the freaky cullens. we are weird) "oh." and we just stared at each other in silence it was sooooo awkward for a second, but THEN HE SAID "i don't think you are a freak"

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH SHFKWEHFIUHWRUFIRIUGHUG

BRO. DO NOT TALK TO ME RN. IT'S THE FIRST THING I WROTE HERE WHEN I WOKE UP FROM THIS SHIFT. IM THINKING ABOUT THIS 24/7 how should i move on.

so we talked on our way out to the parking lot (as it was the last class of that day) you know, just some silly stuff, i asked him where is he from, why his famly moved here, how he finds himself here, he asked about my life before the cullens and I moved to forks, so obv i lied that we lived in canada, but we decided to move here as carlisle received a job offer. when we were outside and i saw edward waiting for me i just said bye and left it was soooooo awkward he just said "see ya" and went to his car IM SOOO MAD AT MYSELF THAT I DID NOT TALK TO HIM MORE THEN GOSH I WASTED THE POTENCIAL

so when i got back to car and edward was just standing there and was like "what was that" and i went "what?" and he went "y'know what" and i was like "oh that. he started talking to me in class, so i didn't want to be mean and continued" and he went "sure" BRO. EDWARD. STOP IT.

i can confirm that edward was first shipper here LMAOOOO

spoiler: i did the presentation with raphael. and we actually became friends? i mean we talked a lot during our classes, sometimes after, it was greattttttt AND HE SAID HE LIKES ME? and i was like bro HOOOOOLD UP. hold onnnnnnn. he sometimes even WAITED FOR ME after some classes to go with me to the parking lot etc. GOSH

in the next school year i decided to talk to him moreeee i mean i waited for that moment for so long LIKE LET US BE TOGETHER ALREADY GOD LMAO

once i sat with him and him only during lunch break, of course after that i think rosalie told carlisle about this and carlisle maybe he wasn't mad, no, he was just overprotective and was telling me "you know it will not work like that" "be careful you are still very young" and iiiiiiiiiiiii knooooooooooooow.

but i didn't stop talking to raphael hell no LMAO

— ୨୧₊˚ 2005

in january bella moves to forks, and one day when i'm waiting for edward on a parking lot after lessons and he comes back, i caan see something in him yk??? like something changed??? so i asked him "what happened?" he didn't respond and just opened the car door. "you know i can go inside your mind without you knowing right?" i laughed, AND HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY OR SOMETHING LMAO

so he just told me about bella, and that she is diffrent than others.

after that in the evening i decided to shift back <3

it was super fun i will probably do some other posts about the cullens, AN ABOUT SOME MORE SITUATIONS ABOUT RAPHAEL!!!!!!! AND ABOUT THE MURDER BEFORE BELLA MOVED TO FORKS!!!!!!!!!! i wanted to give you this as fast as possible so so that's why there is not much in here! but bare with me lmao!!!!

[roaringdargon]

For @spr-ingo "off-script". just some fun with Ingo and Emmet on their first battle together on the Multi train after Ingo returns.

I am sick and did not edit this like I wanted, but I still wanted to post today.

----

The first day back to the battle lines was a long anticipated one for Ingo. After months of successful and unsuccessful reintegration this was a goal that made his heart burn with desire. Of all the unfamiliarity that accompanied him in his day to day the conducting of battles was one that always stuck with Ingo even when he barely remembered that he was , in fact, Ingo. So now with memories barely scraping by as familiarity it was a much needed step forward for both his recovery and his sanity.

It was multi lines only for now because of further safety preparations and checks needed before allowing solo control of a giant metal death trap, but it was still so worth it. The energy stewing between himself and his brother as they awaited the arrival of their first valiant challengers was electric. They could not stop the excitement in every twitch of the wrist and stamp of their feet. This feeling of being so in sync with someone was both foreign and familiar. He and Emmet had prepared their teams, strategized, practiced and learned each other's mannerisms all over again. Even now the silence is often interrupted by future adjustments.

When the first set of challengers to make it to them showed up it was a friendly surprise. A young man in blue gaped and a young woman sporting two buns and the confidence of a champion had stars in her eyes.

"Oooooooh wow! Elesa had totally suggested we come challenge today! I had a feeling why but it's still sooo exciting!" Champion Rosa cheered in infectious excitement.

"It's so good to see you both as a duo again sirs it has been too long!" Added Nate.

The sentiment was, of course returned in twofold.

"I have been early awaiting my return as well, Miss Rosa, Mister Nate. We both are eager to resume this track together, of course!" Replied Ingo

Emmet jumped in, "Yup! Although it is currently a trial run until Ingo is completely certified again so it was not advertised. I am Emmet and I am glad it was you two who made it here first! I want this to be a fun battle. So let us do so."

"Of course!" "Yayyyy!"

There was a pause in the room that followed while everyone readied their pokemon was a bit odd afterward despite the anticipation. As if something is missing Ingo looks toward Emmet and he looks mildly panicked for some reason. Emmet glances at Ingo with a slightly intense yet guilty look.

Ingo stares and thinks for a moment then seems to understand. Of course, Emmet has mentioned that they worked in tandem in all situations. While it had been a while it was probably Ingo who took the lead in this situation before and he is feeling guilty about forgetting to remind him. It is no issue. For Ingo knows how to conduct a battle.

Before Ingo can say anything Emmet speaks up "I am Emmet, a Subway Boss. He is Ingo. We are a team! We cover each other's weaknesses! We want to see how strong you are together in turn." He finishes abruptly, pauses then adds "Anything to add, brother?"

Emmet looks over with a bead of sweat as if questioning whether or not to throw the spotlight over, but Ingo just gives him a small genuine smile. He will take it from here!

"Yes! Now then. Follow the rules and drive safely! We are headed for victory! ALL ABOOOARD!"

There is giggling and laughing from the whole room as they throw out their pokemon. This battle will be a great start on a new track to victory!

----

I thought it would be fun to have Ingo say his canon version of Emmet's multi train line and also force Emmet to say his version of Ingo's.

[zozo720]

Okay okay okay, memes aside... I'm so happy right now!! Love them or hate them, X/Y and Kalos in general is the most underdeveloped Pokemon region/generation to date, and the ONLY one that never got any sort of follow-up. Everything pre-Unova has had at least one remake (Kanto got two), and every other game either got a definitive re-release, a full-on sequel, or a hefty chunk of DLC content. But Kalos got nothing. We only ever got one adventure through Kalos, and it was held back by being the first 3DS entries, and having a lot of things cut for time (From Team Flare, to aliens, to an entire sequel game we never got). The closest we ever got to closure was ORAS expanding Mega Stone lore, and Zygarde's final form being thrown into Sun/Moon (which at least delivered on the alien idea with Ultra Beasts) Pokemon Z has been a meme in the community for a literal decade, and while I always had hope we'd revisit Kalos eventually, I was prepared to wait. So to get news that a real revisit to Kalos is on the horizon, AND the Legends series isn't a one-hit wonder, all at once... It's honestly like a dream, it doesn't feel real. I can't wait to see what the game's actually like, and what it takes from Legends Arceus and Scar/Vio. I can only hope that the release date of 2025 means they learned something from S/V's launch. As for my hopes for this game... - Regional forms of Galar/Paldea Pokemon - New Mega Evolutions for Gen 6/7/8/9 Pokemon - MEGA FLYGON, DO IT, DO IT NOW - The Legends Arceus gameplay is intact but in a modern setting - Shauna - SwSh-tier Trainer Customization. It's Kalos, the trainer customisation HAS to be good - We finally get the last few Pokemon with no Switch game to go to

And most of all... can we PLEASE not have another Ingo situation? I don't care how cool it sounds to throw someone into Future Kalos or whatever, or have Emmet show up for a chapter just to say "I am Emmet! My brother went missing forever! Oh well! :3" because I don't trust the post-PLA Submas fandom to be reasonable about the train men anymore. Either conclude their arc or don't bother starting this with another character.

[funky-choo-choo]

I really think your Caeso au is so fun.

We get to see someone who has to learn how to build his own identity and learn to step outside the shadows he seems to have sprouted from. He can gain new friends of his own, learn about his own interests, make his own imprints, etc.

There will, of course, be some doubt as well. A glaring question of "Am I real? Am I just a temporary replacement? What will happen if these mysterious brothers he has been filling in for come back? What will happen if they never come back?" He has seen the impact their dissapearance has made on the people around them and notices the how difficult his existence has made if for them even if they try to hide it. Even if they learn to care about him as well, there are always those thoughts lurking in the corner of his mind.

If the twins come back that could be the end of his existence and usefulness, but Caeso is a person who has had to build himself from the ground up and deserves to continue with this life he has been given. Otherwise it would be immensely cruel to Caeso and those that have come to care for them.

(Sorry if this is a misinterpretation and I am not, in fact picking up what you're putting down)

Also:

Emmet and Ingo come back and after the initial deep confusion are just like "HOLY SHIT! FREE BROTHER!!!"

YES YES!!!

This is what I love about Caeso! Find your own person, be created for something, especially similar to another, but learn to get out of that structure and be yourself!!!

Caeso from the beginning more or less knew that he was someone who replaced or also copied the life of another person, Arceus gave him vague instructions on what he should do, his function.

But something that Arceus gave her was also to be his own being. Although he physically resembles Ingo and Emmet, his personality is completely different from them, although it should be a fusion between the characteristics of the twins.

Caeso doesn't know who he is, but he's learning who he is, he likes to eat cold things, he always whispers, pokemon fights aren't specifically his thing, he loves trains, but not just because he's a copy of Ingo and Emmet, no, Caeso loves trains because of the emotion he feels when he is on them, the speed, the feeling of a new adventure every day with each passenger!

Arceus gave him a mission, but he also gave him life, with which he gave him the freedom to be, his mission is to help at the subway station, he is not a replacement, although he does not know it, he is one more brother.

AND I LOVE THIS-

AND BONUS DRAWING DOWN HERE :)

[ratwithhands]

I'm curious. I've seen your art and something that's come to my mind is what actually got you attached with the Subway brothers. Your narrative on their different AU forms is so unique which is what brought me to that question

Alright, rat history time.

So basically back in 2021-2022, I was working on an old OC storyline (about 3 years old by then) and I was in grade 9 so I was like “A new Pokémon game? Pfft, like I care” and just didn’t watch any of the stuff related to PLA when it dropped. I still got recommended Twitter posts about it on Instagram and I ended up seeing this one.

I tried looking up Ingo cause I was like "oh, funky design, looks like a captain or something" but I didn't end up finding anything so I didn't press further. Anyways in March break of 2022, I got bored and decided to put some game streams on in the background while I drew. I saw Alpharad's PLA video and decided to watch it for a bit when I saw Ingo.

I was like "Hey you're the guy from Twitter!" and since I knew his name now, I looked him up and found his Bulbapedia article. I found him much more interesting than the rest of the PLA cast since he had history outside PLA, and I ended up reading up whatever I could find on him. I also by extension discovered Emmet this way, which only served to suck me deeper down the rabbit hole. By the end of March break I had a fan OC and 2 AUs made with more on the way, as well as a YouTube recommended page with nothing but theory videos on Ingo and decade old Submas content.

Around May I decided to decommission my OC storyline for personal reasons, and by this point Submas was starting to occupy more of my creative work anyways. Since I didn't have my storyline to put my energy into, I started funnelling literally any story ideas into Submas. This led to nonstop content for a shockingly long time, and ofc I'm still coming up with stuff now.

Long story short, I got attached to them by accident! It was a "right place, right time" sort of thing since they came in as I was starting to get sluggish with my original content and I ended up being more interested in writing for them.

As for narratives, I am effectively playing dolls with these guys. Usually the kind of stuff that I write for them is meant for OCs, but I dumped the 60+ person cast so I put that energy into them instead.

Most AUs will either have a core theme, an out of pocket idea, or both to make things interesting. Usually I just come up with a dumbass idea like "what if we brought ReBURST back for a rerun" or "what if Emmet signed a contract with an eldritch space spider" or "what if Submas could see into the future" and stuff like that, then it picks up themes as I keep writing. For some silly examples:

Burst is based on Pokémon ReBURST and the idea of human-Pokémon fusion, but there's focus on skill, how characters misperceive it, and resentment as a result. There's also a spotlight on inferiority complexes, bottled up guilt, and blind confidence depending on which main character you look at

Journal is about a diary that helps Ingo to regain his memories, and it focuses on remembrance and regret as a result of him reading it. Spotlight on lacking awareness vs hyper awareness and the monotony of living as people around you leave

Oracle is exactly what it sounds like, with the twins being able to see into the future. It focuses on cooperation and the importance of working together, but also learning how to work alone. The spotlight's on jealousy and gratitude for this one, though the latter greatly outweighs the former in this case

I also just have AUs I made to try deranged shit for funsies, like Sapioflora, Cybernetic/Z-Λ, Team Supernova, and Idol. Those are mostly for exploring goofy ideas that may or may not go anywhere.

Right anyways basically I just saw Submas after watching PLA gameplay and found the twins more interesting to write about than the project I'd exhausted by then. The narratives are like that because the AU ideas I make are actually OC concepts that I modify to fit Pokémon specifically for these two or ideas about the two that I'd like to explore. Hope that answers the question ^^*

[spr-ingo]

The prompts are in and our list has been finalized! As per our guidelines, any participants are free to interpret the prompts as they see fit, but if anything is unclear or you'd like a little more direction, we've got a handy guide below the cut!

February: Duty/Work. This week is themed around the job-- as Subway Boss, Warden, or anything that suits your vision!

(On the) Job Training: What did it take for Ingo to get where he is? Was it fun? Difficult? Is he trying to learn the ropes for a second time?

Team Track: It's very interesting to see a person coordinate and work so closely with their sibling well into adulthood. How do the twins work together? What's their favorite part? Does it ever get annoying-- on purpose, or just by way of how tight knit they are?

Accommodation: Are there any daily challenges that Ingo needs help with? What does it take to communicate with lips that won't emote? Does he have any injuries or conditions that he needs to keep on top of to stay in working order?

Foreign Travel: The Subway Boss has been all over Unova, and the Warden knows his way around the Hisui, but where else has he been? Did he see anything interesting, or meet new people and Pokemon?

Workplace Injury: Even the best safety measures can't prevent every injury. Has Ingo ever been injured on the job? Had to tend to someone else?

Station Master: What's a trainer without their team? Whether or not it's a Pokemon he trains or handles, show us a Pokemon you associate with Ingo!

Emergency Exit: It's important to know where your entry and exit points are; be it a mechanical failure, cave in, or routine evacuation drill, show or tell us about a time escape was the only option.

March: Off-Duty/Home. This week, it's time for a break! Whether home is Unova or Hisui, it's time to settle in and rest.

RXR: Not a railroad crossing, but rest and relaxation! What's the best way to make use of time off the clock? IS there time off the clock, or is work never ending?

Maintenance: It's best to leave work at work, but sometimes it comes home with you. What needs to happen to keep this a well oiled machine? Alternately, what might a sick day look like?

Diversion: Some people breed Pokemon and some attend musicals. What kind of hobbies does Ingo keep? Any particularly notable interests (apart from the obvious)?

No Legendaries on the Train: This couldn't go any earlier, or we'd be breaking the rules. Does Ingo have any ties to or friendships with a legendary or mythical Pokemon? Maybe you associate him with one? What's the story there?

:3 : Everybody smile!

Dining Car: Whether it's unique preferences, sensitivities or preparation, everybody has opinions where food is concerned. What are some of Ingo's?

Familiar Tracks: Unova is a region with a deep history and culture, and Hisui is set in its own ways. Does Ingo observe any traditions? Hold any cultural beliefs?

April: Truth & Ideals. This week is about history and aspiration!

Admission: How, exactly, did Ingo end up in Hisui? Whether you ascribe to his version of events or what the art book seems to imply, there's a story there, so what is it?

Rookie: What was life like before assuming his job? Was his role something he strove toward, or fortunate happenstance?

Branching Line: We have a very good idea what one member of Ingo's family is like, but apart from Emmet, who else is there? Familiar faces? Someone we've never seen? Is there anything interesting in the twins' family tree?

Pearl Clan: The Pearl Clan took Ingo in, but then what? Under what circumstances? Are they happy to have an outside perspective, or are those rough tracks to travel?

Ghost Train: There are ghosts in Ingo's past, both literal and figurative. Does anything continue to haunt him?

Historical Accuracy: We've seen traces of Hisui in modern day Sinnoh, so let's crack open a history book. How, if at all, is Warden Ingo remembered?

Everything Changes: Things won't be the same when (or if) Ingo finally gets home, but that's not always a bad thing. Show us that different doesn't mean worse.

May: Dream World. This week is about what we won't see on screen, so make sure your imagination is in high gear!

Off-Script: We've gotten a peek into a world where Ingo didn't wind up in Hisui, so let's explore that idea. Whether he disappeared and wound up somewhere else, or stayed safely in Unova, what else do you suppose could have happened?

Fresh Coat of Paint: It's well established how attached Ingo is to his coat, but let's give it a break of its own. Whether it's for fashion, fun or function, it's time to play dress up!

Alternator/X-ing: Do you have an AU or crossover you'd like to tell us about? A favorite you want to dip into? Now's the time!

Mirror Image: Maybe things got a little too intense yesterday-- now we're looking at two of the same person! Is Ingo interacting with a past or future version of himself? An alternate universe counterpart? Give us a peek into how it goes!

Train of Thought: Do you have any headcanons you want to share? If there's nothing in particular, then tell us a little bit about how you view Ingo. No two individuals-- or their thoughts-- are exactly identical, after all!

Union Station: It's a big world out there, with an impossible amount of interesting people! Who's someone you'd like to introduce Ingo to? Maybe it's an unlikely friendship or rivalry?

A Higher State: Where do we go from here? Whether it's what you think is most realistic, compelling, or what you personally want to see, give us an ending!

Thank you to everybody who submitted prompt suggestions! While they might not appear verbatim, we've tried to carry the spirit in the list above!

Botw/Totk submas au things

Because I can’t sleep. Enjoy. Some spoilers??? Idk, but just in case.

-

- where the hell have you been you silly bitch? It’s been months! You can bet the moment you step foot in the lookout landing, the twins pointed ears perk up and they are sprinting to you, tackling you, crying, and babbling about how worried they were and how much they missed you.

- however, they cannot join you as much this time around, HOWEVER they will be at every stable you go to, or waiting by places you need to go, to guide you to the correct location.

- Emmet loves the thrill of traveling to the sky with you! Ingo is screaming, please put him back in solid ground!

- both of them scream in gut wrenching terror when you dive head first down a chasm. Emmet’s ears are ringing from Ingo’s loud screaming, and Ingo loses his voice for a while he was so loud.

- hate the depths, hate it hate it hate- wow it’s so pretty- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?-

- hate how dark it is, they can’t see where you are or where enemies are.

- Emmet nearly cries when first finding a Frox, he hated it with a passion, but later on he finds it fun to battle and beat!

- they watch it horror as you, in your new odd clothing, fuse items, and go fight a thunder Gleeok without a care in the world.

-you’ve taken years off their lives just jumping off anything and everything.

- Ingo sees the bosses you’ve had to fight in the depths, and just holds you quietly but tightly, so tense and trembling. You fought those things, they easily could’ve lost you more times than he can count, please give him a moment.

-“WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?” Is yelled very frequently, and loudly by these two.

-Your new fuse ability is their favorite thing though! This means they are one step closer to that ‘train’ they have been trying to build this whole time!

-they fear tagging along with you, as it’s mostly them having a heart attack because you’re doing something crazy and stupid, or because that’s a new enemy they haven’t seen before.

- the hands? No, no no no no. You find it fun to beat them and get such a FUN surprise that drops some good loot! But they are in a high up tree, refusing to come down, cause “as long as we are up here, those grabby hands can’t get us!”

- they start off skittish, but once they get use to the monsters new and old with upgrades, they are back to being reliable companions, who will help heal you and help protect you.

-you will still have them panicked when you go from sky island to sky island, or just free fall down.

- please, they don’t have enough fairies for the hearts you make them lose with your tricks.

- they love you dearly, and as a result get incredibly snippy or passive aggressive with people who don’t respect you, or who are not kind to you.

- you’ve been through hell and back, bending over backwards for all of hyrule several times, you have been the princess’s work horse, made to do everything, give up everything, and have little to no time for yourself, all because you’re being ordered around and told what to do for everyone else.

So yes, they will defend you, and yes, they will start a fight if someone thinks they can just walk all over you or boss you around.

- they are not big fans of Zelda, and find themselves liking her less and less they more they learn and know you.

Star Trek: La Sirena Fam & what each of them would do during Greek Eastern Orthodox Easter!

Picard: he's the perfect age to go all-out greek grandfather, tbh. Gets super excited to organise a big feast on Easter Sunday, wants to live it to the fullest, plans to do the whole "roasting an entire lamb for half a day" routine.

Raffi: has no idea what all the fuss is about but hey, there's food, wine and good fun, so why not. she doesn't care but gets EXTREMELY competitive with the egg-cracking, keeps slamming her egg into everyone else's and trying to wine through brute force, ignoring the fact that there's an ✨️art✨️ to the sport.

Rios: "I'm too old for this shit", absolutely doesn't want to partake in the festivities but ends up getting roped in by Picard and made to help with roasting the lamb. At the end of the day he can be found sitting to the side and eating tsoureki (as he should). Also probably gets shitfaced before half the day is done, ends up trying to dance. There's video. Shh, don't tell him.

Agnes: loves the fireworks of Resurrection Night! Loves the candles and the lanterns!! Loves the food and drink! She's so excited to experience something new and learn about a culture she's not familiar with, she's the one taking photos of everyone, she even tried to dye the eggs herself (with a little help from Stewart; it worked!). Definitely drags a very sulky Rios out so they can watch the fireworks together and feel all romantic and sappy (he complains, but of course he secretly loves it).

Seven: crowned winner of the egg-cracking competition, Raffi is SO salty about it. Also a tsoureki fan, ends up stuffing her face with it at breakfast and doesn't want to eat anything else for the rest of the day. Started watching Jesus of Nazareth every afternoon during the week just out of boredom because Elnor and Soji tuned in, is now very invested in it, also lowkey isn't sure the kids should be watching it. Especially Elnor.

Elnor: super disturbed by how bloody, brutal and visceral some of those traditions and cultural details are, tbh. ("What do you mean Jesus died?? Again? I thought it only happened once. Ooh, he's coming back? I see... wait- why are we following his tomb around the neighbourhood? Why are the old men chanting??"). Very invested into watching Jesus of Nazareth, though Soji has to very gently explain to him that that's not Actually Jesus, just an actor (he's shocked).

Soji: very excited to learn about a new culture ! Wants to try everything, from the food to the eggs to reading up all the little tidbits, fun facts and regional traditions she can get her hands on. Wants to help Picard and the holo squad prep the food, set up the table, etc. Feels like she's part of a family celebration for the literal first time in her life!

The holos pop up at random inrervals: Emil makes sure everyone stays hydrated and that nobody accidentally sets anything (or anyone) on fire. Enoch is in charge of the music (oh, so many corny traditional greek songs... meanwhile nobody in there speaks greek). Emmet is supposed to help in the kitchen but just falls asleep, and Ian is helping Agnes take the most embarrassing (and adorable) photos of a drunk Rios & Seven

Last Chapter •||• Next Chapter

It felt like the day was going by at the perfect pace for the child who just wanted to spend time out of the classroom. It didn't seem to take too long before Kit was sitting in a stuffy room with a humanoid sheepdog sitting at a large desk, waiting for the students to settle down. With a clearing of her throat, the students were silenced. The dog headed woman stood and grabbed some chalk.

"Alright, class. Now that you have settled, we'll get to the most important lesson of the year: Queen Wa'nabi's original wedding and the Battle for Syspocalypstar. We have a special guest to talk about that today." She slammed a paw on an old looking monitor on wheels with a brand new webcam mounted on top. Glowing crystals could be seen poking out of the back. With the rough push of a button, static slowly revealed a man with neat and tidy mousy brown hair and a toothy grin that could disarm anyone. 

"Hello, everyone! Sorry I can't be there in person, but I made time to talk to you all about how weeeee…." His eyes fell on a point that only Kit really knew was her. His pupils shrank and he grabbed at his collar. "Sorry. It's really stuffy here. Uh, can I-" With a glance out to something off screen, his demeanor changed to one of uneasy confidence. "Looks like the air conditioner finally kicked in! Alrighty! So, I'll give a rundown of what happened." He took a breath and began to describe the events of that evening. There were parts of it he barely could tell, voice shaking and words unsure. He painted a picture of tragedy and a journey to overcome what was thought to be a great threat. It was something that even the students who were slacking off on their phones could feel. It was towards the end that he took a breath and uttered the words he hoped never to have to say in front of Kit.

"The man who ran the whole show, who led me to do what I did, he called himself Rex Dangervest. He doesn't call himself that anymore and doesn't like talking about what he did when he was called that." He took another breath and fell silent for a moment. "He later became something awesome and saved the Unikingdom from some bad people. But that isn't -" A soft chime rang out throughout the room. 

"Looks like class is dismissed.” The teacher said unenergetically as she gathered her things in preparation for the flood of children leaving the room.

“Hey, Kit, can you stay behind for a sec? I need to ask you something." Emmet shouted this over the sound of stampeding children heading to the next learning opportunity. 

"Sure, Uncle Emmet." The class quickly emptied, save for the man on the monitor and the girl with the unicorn headband. Emmet spoke after a long pause.

"How much of that did you know?" The man sounded exhausted and hesitant. “I'm sorry if this is the first time you've heard this side of the story.”

"It isn't." The girl admitted. "I overheard you and Aunt Lucy talk about something my dad did and when I asked Papa, he said that he did something he regretted, that he never wanted to talk about." She kicked the well cared for hardwood floor. "Dad really caused Armommageddeon?"

"Yeah… Your dad was in a lot of pain back then. He was angry. He let his emotions cloud his mind to the point where he couldn't see any other solution. None of us wanted to tell you about this, though I guess it was only going to be a matter of time. He just… he doesn't want you to think that you or your other dad are in any danger around him. He loves you so much. That's just not how he is right now." Emmet's voice started shaking again.

"That's why all of this is confusing me. That's not what my daddy is like. I'm honestly starting to wonder how much… how much more they're keeping from me." Kit sat on the nearest desk, head in her hands.

"Whatever your parents haven't told you, I'm sure they have a good reason… Are you going to be okay? Do you need me to order you anything?" Emmet looked down, worry clouding his face.

"I'm… I may just go home. Or I guess to my daddy's office." Kit’s face was pale.

"Whatever you need, Kit. I'll send a text to your dad to let him know that you're coming." Kit just shrugged and went to grab her things. She looked down, not noticing that Bellamy was leaning against the wall by the door, waiting for her.

"Did I hear ya right? Ya aren't feeling well?" Bellamy held out a canvas first aid kit for Kit to take. "Here. I'm sure I have something in this."

"You don't have answers in that bag. Only my dad has those." She grabbed her backpack and headed for the door. Bellamy rushed after her, wings a blur behind her. 

"Then I gotta come with." They were by her side in the blink of an eye, backpack on their back from out of nowhere. "Remember: where you go, I should go. Besides, all I have is free research period. And so do you. We aren't missing anything."

"As long as you won't get in trouble with your parents, let's go. I think the next shuttle should be on its way soon anyway." As predicted, a shuttle bus that looked like the monarch who ruled the kingdom stopped at the school. Both Kit and Bellamy flashed colorful bus passes when they passed the driver and the two sat close to the middle. 

It didn't take long before Royal Purple Road and the headquarters of the Royal Chrononauts was in sight. Kit marched through the door, ignoring everything to head for a door marked 'Commander's office' on a brass plaque above the doorframe. Bellamy was like a shadow behind her.

"Daddy? We need to talk about something." She didn't seem to notice that her father's office was a complete mess or that her father was under the desk attempting to grab paperwork and the broken remnants of a picture frame.

"Kitten? What are you doing here so early? Be careful! There's broken glass everywhere." He got up from his position under the desk and was by her side in an instant, checking her over for any broken glass or signs of illness. "Are you feeling okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I'm doing fine, Daddy, but I want to talk to you about your past." Something about the way Kit spoke and the way she held herself made RJ back off. "I just found out in school. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Kit…" RJ sat on a comfortable chair that was set off to the side so he could clean better. Before he did this, he shut the office door in Bellamy's face. "I guess it was only a matter of time before you found out. I would have thought Emmet would have let something slip, but learning about it in a history class would be the second most likely thing." He shifted in the chair. "I was trying to protect you… or maybe I was trying to forget it all myself. That's far in my past and… I hate myself for doing it."

“You're not making a lot of sense.” He shrugged as he sank further in the chair. "That's still a really big thing to not tell me."

"I know. I know. I didn't keep this from you because I didn't trust you, never think that. I can try to be more open now." RJ brushed some papers off his large office chair, which was placed next to him and patted the seat. Kit cautiously sat down.

"I'm… I don't understand why you would do something like that. What about Papa? Didn't you think about Papa at all?"

"Your father and I didn't meet until after that ordeal. If it wasn't for your father, I don't know what I'd be doing right now. Certainly not this, that's for sure. I'll put it this way: anger is like walking around with thick poisonous fog all around you. You can't see what you're doing, but you're hurting everyone and everything around you. Including yourself. Especially yourself. I needed everyone I know here to bring me back to where I am today. I needed your Uncle Emmet and Aunt Lucy to show me that what my anger was making me think was wrong." RJ's voice was soft and almost mournful.

"You're talking like you were all alone." Kit adjusted her headband.

"I was. Or at least I thought I was. Kit, what you probably aren't going to hear from a history lesson is that I spent years being told I wasn't special, that I wasn't strong or brave enough to do anything heroic. I spent years in isolation with only those thoughts in my head. By the time I decided to do what I did, I thought I had nothing left to lose. I just needed to have my problems just go away." 

"Should I be sorry I asked?" Kit continued to fidget with her headband.

"No. I'm glad the truth came out and you aren't mad at me. You can be mad at me, by the way. Both your Papa and I taught you that you shouldn't lie." 

"Well… I'm not happy with you. I do feel like you and Papa lied to me."

"And that's okay. That's perfectly healthy and I'm not going to tell you you're wrong to feel that way." RJ got to his feet. "I'm sure you see me differently now. That's also okay."

"I know you're telling the truth now. I can tell from how nervous you got." Kit picked up the paperwork around her and handed it to her dad. "What happened in here? Did you get angry?"

"Since we're being honest today, I don't know what happened. Doc and PC walked into the office this morning and the whole place was torn apart. Nothing came up on the security cameras as far as we know. We just know that it looks like someone was looking for something." RJ took the paperwork, thanked her, then threw it all on his desk. "Have you talked to your uncle recently?" Kit lifted an eyebrow. That question came out of the blue. "Is that who told you about my past?" The teenager nodded. "I need to talk to your uncle. I would rather you wait outside in the lobby, but we won't be talking about you. You're not in any trouble." 

"Okay. I'll wait outside." She left the room and closed the door, but quickly grabbed a cup from the water cooler. She leaned against the door, the cup between the door and her ears. Bellamy opened their beak to comment, but Kit put a finger to her mouth.

"Ems, I'm not calling about that. She was going to find out about my Dangervest persona anyway. I wish it was from me, but whatever. At least it wasn't from one of those teachers in New Bricksburg. No, someone broke into my office last night. We really didn't catch much of anything on camera, but something awoke a distant memory in the footage. Something vague that I just can't tell you where I saw it. A dark shadow came through a portal. It looked almost like a-"

"Didn't expect to see you here so soon, little sis!" The sound of Puppycorn's deep and almost regal voice cut through Kit's concentration. Kit quickly hid the cup and flashed a sheepish grin.

"I was let out early," Was all the girl uttered. The big dog grinned, his curly tail moving at blinding speeds. 

"Awesome! It's always good to see ya!" He bounded around Kit, his excitement fueling his energy. "Do you wanna help me clean up the lab? Dr. Fox needs a lot of help there.”

“Hang on, I gotta-” Before Kit could listen in any further, RJ opened the front door.

“Kitten, I still have work to do around here. This place is a mess. Do me a favor an’ go to the marketplace to hang out or somethin’?” The glare Kit shot at him gave him pause. “I’m not hiding anything from you. I don’t even know what’s happening right now.”

“What did you ask my uncle?” Kit asked incredulously.

“I asked him if he remembered something that could help me figure things out. He couldn’t. I don’t know why I can. I’ll tell you everything once I know. Please. Be patient.” Like her uncle, RJ’s voice was shaking. Something was bothering him. She reached out to hold her dad’s hand and he took it. “I know you’re still mad at me. But please. Go with Bellamy to the castle or something. I’ll take you out for pizza later.” Bellamy grabbed Kit, threw her over their shoulder, and gave a quick bow, rushing out the door. They didn’t stop until the Unikingdom castle was in sight.

“Bellamy! We need to go back.” Kit was set down unceremoniously, but floated just a few inches off the ground before she touched the grass. “Dad is either lying again or scared of something. I can’t tell.” She remained afloat and started to head back to the road. Bellamy grabbed her by the hood of her hoodie. “Let me go!”

“Sorry, Kay. I got to go by your dad's orders." Bellamy pulled Kit towards her. "Let's get some tea with the Queen and my dad and let your dad clean up the office. He can clean this mess up later." Kit reluctantly went with Bellamy towards the castle.

RJ leaned against the broom he held and shook his head. Why did Kit have to find out about his past today?  He put his broom away, turning to Doctor Fox and Puppycorn. "Did they take anything?"

"They destroyed our puddlehopper, RJ." Doctor Fox shook her head in utter disbelief. "The flux capacitor that was in the time drive is irreparable. It's going to take us months to get back into optimal working conditions." She handed him the shattered remnants of the flux capacitor. He played with the pieces in his hand.

"The flux capacitor? Could that uptight doctor or his assistant be the ones responsible?" RJ muttered to himself. "Nah. Doubtful. They seemed too straight edge to me." He turned to the others. "Let's check the complaints box tomorrow for potential vandals. I can't rule out that someone hated our services… or me… that they wanted to destroy our work." He patted Puppycorn on the head. "I need to make sure I didn't just lose my baby girl because…"

"You have an acute aversion to conversing with others about your past mistakes and how they affect you in the present?" Doctor Fox finished the sentence. RJ nodded. "Go to her. I know how much she means to you." The man shoved his hands in his pockets and moved slowly towards his truck. 

By the time RJ got to the castle, Bellamy and Kit were playing tag with Hawkodile under a large and unknowingly old cherry tree. The adult chimera stopped and headed for his student. He towered over him, waiting for a respectful bow. The bow was reciprocated with a stern look.

"RJ. Kit told me about what happened this afternoon." RJ looked down to the grass at those words. "I don't like that reaction. Did you ransack your own office?"

"Oh. I thoughtcha were givin' me that look because I kept my past from her." He rubbed his neck. "Nah. I still can't figure out what happened there. I have never seen a portal that looked like the one I saw in the security footage."

"You saw a portal?" Hawkodile scratched under his beak. "Did it look like any of the portals you and Scarlett make? Maybe your future self turns rogue or something."

"No. I've never seen a portal like this before. Or at least, I don't think I have. It's strange, but I feel like that portal is unlocking a memory I pushed deep within my mind. Something that happened when I was younger, when I was still Emmet." RJ looked over to where his daughter was playing. "Whatever that memory is, it scares me to my core. Grab Kit and R and hide in the distant past scared." He kept looking over to Kit, who eventually made eye contact and started heading over.

"She is still upset about being in the dark about your past. Show her that you have nothing left to hide now." Hawkodile moved over to his child, holding her close.

Kit soon stood in front of her dad, looking up with her arms folded. Her eyes held an expectation, pressing and almost judgmental.

"Kit, I'm sorry. I should have been more upfront with you when you got older. You were going to learn eventually, but you should have learned that from me. Don't be too mad with your old man." His apology was answered with a hug and a less stern look from his daughter. "I'm glad you're not too mad with me. Let's go get something to eat."

"Did you find out what happened in your office?" The question felt like a test to RJ. Was a child even allowed to test their parent like this? 

"No. We need to figure out who could have trashed the place." He paused as he opened the passenger side truck door for Kit. "I'll keep ya up to date. Promise. No more secrets." This seemed to please Kit, as there was a spring in her float as she jumped into the truck.

falls to my hands and knees. please god let me date cilan

Just going to put a disclaimer that Cilan is in his 20s in this mod before continuing... (Since he's 16 in the anime but... The mod takes place after Best Wishes.) Kids may be able to be champion and fill government positions back in Unova, but Cilan is at a legal working age so he can open his own cafe in Stardew Valley. He didn't have to give up his job as a sommelier when moving. He would be around the Sam-Sebastian age range.

We might add that as an option later after we start on the roommate Cilan update, but that won't be until much MUCH later on our to-do list. We want to write his platonic route first (less rewriting... Ingo's whole route is going to need a rework but Emmet is mostly fine until after 8 hearts). Cilan's romance route probably won't be too different from his roommate route outside of kissing him instead of hugging. There's a lot more for him to do outside of that! He's an everything connoisseur! He'll get too caught up in his infodumps to remember to say "I love you". He's sorry!

That also reminds me........ I never drew a blushy/embarassed portrait for him! I organized the portrait sheet I posted earlier wrong! The first 6 boxes are hardcoded so they need to be in order of neutral, happy, sad, anything, blush, and angry. His angry portrait was where he was supposed to blush and the first of his many infodumping expressions was where he was supposed to be angry! Anyways... Here's his blushing/embarassed portraits.

Still planning out how to write him and what his storyline would be but this is what I had so far:

Cilan is unsatisfied with just running a resturaunt with his brothers back in Unova. After travelling with Ash and Iris, he's a little bored; he craves adventure, travel, and excitement- so he jumped at the opportunity to open a faraway cafe in a new station built by submas. The farmer introduces him to the new flavors of the valley (quite literally... Grow him some corn or something and he'll lose his mind) and Cilan takes an immediate interest in them after that. He's happy to cook up new recipies with all the ingredients he has access to!

Along the line, Cilan expresses insecurity about not being sure about what he should do with himself since he doesn't like feeling tied down with only one line of work... He loves being able to explore new experiences! Staying cooped up in a resturant doesn't stimulate his hunger for knowledge (he loves knowing it all... if he can't infodump about everything ever then what's the point 💔). Identity crisis aside, he also feels pressured to stick to one line of work since he's aware that others are annoyed by his interest in well... everything. The farmer reassures him that they like listening to him infodump and that it's good to be enthusiastic about everything! They also help him realize that he doesn't necessarily need to settle down and that he can just do whatever makes him happy. The farmer's a farmer, but most of their time is spent running around slaying monsters and stuff in various dungeons! Cilan kind of freaks out when he learns about that but it does spark his interest so he requests to tag along with the farmer on their next adventure.

Cilan ends up really liking the farmer's adventuring antics and they get closer as friends with him tagging along being a regular occurence. Farmer gets a healer. Cilan gets to forage for more ingredients while having fun learning about various monsters/swordfighting/the mysteries of the valley/etc and infodumping to someone who likes listening to him. He makes a good farmhand, too! They might as well live together. So that ends up being an option.

tbh while Im all for making the funny train guys hotter, I think something is lost in the shipping sphere when we do that. Namely the image of said characters in universe fans (after all so many gym leaders and other trainers are celebrities in pokemon universe) one day learning their idol/celebrity crush/etc has a new bf and expecting them to be, like, someone super cool and sexy. Like a football player, or super model. But then they see an actual photo and its one of the dorky train guys from Unova.

I was mainly thinking about conductorshipping when I thought this (I like to imagine Elesa has fans who follow her mostly for her modelling career, and Emmet has fans who follow him mostly because hes a front face for the subway system) but its really applicable in several different ships.

[betasuppe]

fucked up content fun!!!!! tell us more about it pleaase? 👉👈 -🎃

Ok it seems a few of you wanna know so sure! Gonna put it under the cut because it's a lot & there's maybe a bit sensitive material, including some bastardization of religious sancity thanks to two demons running a catholic church & whatever else then that entails lol. But, OK LET'S GET INTO IT, here we go...

So my general idea is that Ingo & Emmet are demons, who are two parts of one whole. Both can take on rather convincing human forms, but their natural state is a shadowy form made of sharp claws, deadly fangs, sinewy limbs & twisted horns. They were torn in two & forced onto the mortal realm as a punishment for something they cannot even recall. Neither can remember much of their singular life before, but they know if they gain enough power, they one day can return to their beautiful accursed realm.

But, as they are linked as intricately as they are, there's a balancing act going on between them - one must always appear human while the other takes on their demonic appearance. They can only switch between forms when they are both in agreement, but thanks to their linked minds, they can telepathically communicate between one another.

Also, the way they gain strength & can increase their power is by feeding off of human souls & flesh, as depending on the form they are in. In their human-esque shape, they thrive off of human flesh, but in their natural forms, they require souls to nourish them. Of course, they can eat other things, such as fruit and animal meat, but their species naturally lives on consuming humans alone. The more they eat, the strong they can become & their original plan is that one day they may be able to glue themselves together & return to where they came from. How fun, right? :D

Now for the twins in particular...

More often than not, Ingo maintains his true form & prefers hiding in the dark & living in other's shadows more than anything. When he's in his human facade, something about Ingo generally is... a little off. Though his eyes are gleaming with life & emotion and he's very well mannered & polite, the rest of his existence just seems... wrong. Something about him is incredibly off-putting, enough that people naturally turn their eyes away from him & even a gkance from him sets the hair on the back of their necks raising, though the humans may not even understand WHY. For whatever reason, Ingo just can't maintain a truly perfect human mimic, so he prefers to stay in the background & work in the miserable dark behind his other half.

Then, as can be expected, Emmet operates better in his human guise than Ingo. Although his eyes betray his cold, calculating nature at heart, his smile is always warm & welcoming and his form is passable as a real human in every other way. He's a great actor and people are naturally drawn to him and under Ingo's guidance, he's able to seem incredibly genuine, personable & sweet. Basically, Emmet acts as the pretty, friendly lure that pulls their victims in to the pair, before they descend on the person & feast off of them in any way they need.

At this point in their shared existence on the mortal plane, they've taken up the role as a well respected priest in the middle of a bustling city. No one remembers where they came from or what made their previous priest leave his role, but the populace think their religious father can do no wrong.

The pair has found a newfound sense of power in having foolish mortals looking up to them & they have found a sick sense of satisfaction in running their little show of welcoming in the struggling & the damned with love & grace, while slowly picking off those among the congregation that would be easily forgotten if they ever went missing.

Now at some point, you, a brand new member among their crowd, quickly wins the pair's attention. After learning more about their lonely & troubled newest prey, Ingo & Emmet find themselves intrigued & prepared to make you their next target. But after sitting there in the dark in the confessional separated only by a wall between you, something changes. They both listen to you talk about yourself, ramble about your struggles & loneliness through out your life, ending with you gently begging for forgiveness that you don't believe you should even be afforded. After Ingo's insistence - who ended up hiding in your shadow, watching your every word with unbreakable attention - Emmet speaks & easily grants you absolution of your every sin, and encourages you to return anytime you need support or guidance. You shake Emmet's hand heartily after you both step foot out of the cabinet, sending a strange wave of warm feelings over both beings, before promising to return shortly &... away you went.

After this maddening meeting, the two are left puzzled over how they're feeling & that their every thought has become so consumed by you. They assume it'll be a week at the very least before they see you again at next Sunday's mass, but they end up bumping into you at a local grocery store the following day. This time thought, it's Ingo who's in the human facade while Emmet is lingering about. Not too long into your friendly conversation, Emmet grows impatient & and he gives you a gentle shove from behind that has you toppling over into Ingo's arms. That familiar sense of warmth washes over them both, & they pass each other an intrigued glance. It's not long before they both find themselves becoming addicted to this delicious feeling.

After coming back to himself, the awkward moment is easily played off by Ingo, who helps right you back to your feet and ensures you're alright... all the while, his hand is still glued onto you. It takes a lot to finally break that moment & provide some space between you two, but Ingo forces himself back and away from that sweet feeling of comfort.

Once you both part ways, the two speak hurry to their home to speak their shared mind. There's some confusing part of their predatory nature that has them confused over if they need desperately to consume you or if they must have you in some other way & make you their very own.

Either way, they've spent many lives on this planet and have never felt this way ever before. They both agree to hold each other back from consuming any of you in any way shape or form until they can find another way their hunger for you might be quenched...

& so lol this leaves us with the thought of

"HM, I WONDER HOW IT'D BE TO BE ROMANCED BY YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD PRIEST - WHO'S ACTUALLY A DEMON & ACTUALLY ON TOP OF THAT, IS TRULY TWO SEPERATE BUT ALSO VERY MUCH SO THE SAME DEMONS -, WHILE THEY'RE DOING THEIR DAMNDEST TO SHARE YOU & STOP ONE ANOTHER FROM EATING YOU UP, QUITE LITERALLY."

Ok so a bit messed up, but I'm stuck on thinking about this now & I will NOT apologize for these dark & maybe a bit horny thoughts lmaoooooo

Please let me know your thoughts if you're liking this nonsense - I'm just gonna keep sitting here drowning in lovely, slightly creepy ideas of a demonic priest getting too touchy feely with you, while a shadowy shape is wrapping its tendrils around you, both kinda fighting for a hold on you uwu♡

[ Depot Agents, Pt 1 ]

Did this as a little warm-up yesterday and today before I jump into coms. I'm not a human artist but CSP's new tools make me feel actually competent at drawing people lmfao

I've had hcs for these three rolling around in my head since I started writing Lost and Found last year or so! Believe it or not, but these three basically keep Gear Station running if the twins are out of town (or when Emmet needs to take a mandatory leave of absence because the man's working too hard).

Uh, feel free to use these if you want, idc, just credit me I guess? I'm not the first to have HCs about the depot agents, and I won't be the last. Their personalities just kinda shined when I started writing my fic.

(Similarities to other HCs by other people are coincidental, we just all share a few braincells lmfao)

You can read my HC takes below the cut!

Cameron:

1 of 2 depot agents that's been employed before Ingo and Emmet were made Subway Bosses that was promoted to a Lead

Often doesn't wear his hat because his fro cannot be contained

He doesn't THINK he's great with Pokemon, compared to Isadore and Ramses, but he can DEFINITELY hold his own. He's just far better with being an Engineer, problem solving, and customer service.

Was contemplating quitting until Emmet saw his potential and encouraged him to stay.

Speaking of who, he's great at strategy and logistics, so Emmet likes to use him as a rubber duck to bounce ideas off of him.

Cannot be scary to save his life. A real cinnamon roll. Kids love him.

Ingo prefers that Cameron train new Depot Agents, as he's very good at explaining things and doesn't pressure them into learning things too quickly.

Likes food. He can be easily bribed with sweets.

LOVES gossiping with Jackie. If there's a betting pool for something for whatever reason, he's usually the cause of it because Jackie gave him a great scoop.

(I immediately hc'd him as black because I have a cousin named Cameron lol)

Jackie:

Not actually a cryptid, but likes letting people think that. Her commitment to the bit is VERY strong, including roping Ingo and Emmet into it. The twins appreciate her dedication to her work, but DO encourage her to actually go home after her shift...

She actually has an apartment that's right behind Gear Station. Nobody sees her go home since she takes a back exit out of the station.

Nobody knows how long she's been at Gear Station. She did work there before she transitioned. Coincidentally, that's when the rumors about her being a ghost started...

Is VERY mischievous. Isadore despises that the twins don't seem to do anything about her pranks and behavior (as long as it isn't harming anyone or being disruptive, they don't mind. Ingo at least tries to look serious if he has to scold her; Emmet couldn't do that to save his life)

Furze and Cloud have seen her all of about 3 times since they started. Furze screamed when he first saw her (well, she did purposefully scare him...)

Usually runs the night shift. It's very rare she's scheduled during the day, and she will bitch about it the entire time.

No pronouns, do not perceive her (she jokes; she's trans)

Loves to bake. There's often pastries in the break room waiting for the morning crew.

Is a strong trainer. Prefers ghost types, though she has an Aipom that was gifted to her that often follows her around.

Will not hesitate to use her cryptid-like abilities to scare unruly passengers into behaving. She has a particularly low tolerance for creeps and perverts. It's rumored that riding the Single's train at night is the safest way to travel because Jackie does NOT put up with that sort of behavior.

(Isadore begs Jackie to stop scaring passengers. He doesn't want to have to submit another report, even though he greatly appreciates her dedication to protecting passengers).

Isadore:

@pigdemonart and I seemed to share the SAME BRAINCELL with this guy's design. I swear, I hadn't seen it before I did my initial sketches of him XD. I think we all just kinda decided "yeah, he seems like a serious guy" and ran with it

The other depot agent that was employed before Ingo and Emmet took over.

Used to be a punk in his youth, until his parents forced him to take a job at Gear Station to get him some structure and discipline in his life. Then he just kinda decided he really enjoyed it (maybe because his bullying turned into bossing others around to keep them in line)

(Really, he reminds me of Higashi, just older)

Salt and pepper hair. Is definitely daddy material

Looks scary, is scary. But is more "stern father" scary. Really, he doesn't want anyone ending up like he was as a teen/young adult. He won't hesitate to be the dad of the crew to provide some 'tough love'.

Great at customer service. But sometimes Cameron has to reassure people that he's [probably] not mad. He just always looks like that.

Can make jokes, they're just delivered in the most deadpan way possible.

Secretly likes dramas and romance novels.

[ Lost and Found Tidbits ]

(Don't mind these if you haven't read the fic! OC interactions ahead!)

Cameron prefers working with Emmet, Isadore prefers working with Ingo, and Jackie doesn't mind either if she works a day shift (though she works with Shey when she stands in for Ingo)

Isadore handles stress by working even more, which is terrible for both himself and Emmet. He'll work himself to death in order to give Emmet a break.

Jackie and Shey are best friends, somehow. Rumor has it that Jackie hung out at Shey's condo after work once, though neither one will corroborate this rumor.

Out of the three, Cameron is the best at handling someone who is overstimulated. Isadore is the worst, but he IS the best at yelling at anyone who dares to get close. Man knows how to clear a room.

Jackie loves joking about how handsome she thinks Isadore is. She doesn't have any romantic interest in him, but it IS one of the few ways to get Isadore to look flustered and distracted (and when she means it seriously, Isadore does appreciate it). Cameron will join in if he's around.

Cameron and Isadore are a formidable duo when they battle together. Though, Cameron surprisingly battles well alongside anyone.

Bonus: Isadore without his hat. He kind of reminds me of TF2 Medic, too lmfaoooo

[shaampoo]

it would be so funny if Emmet, who has been to the realm of the man upstairs, just casually drops some random man upstairs lore like

Emmet: Did you know that The Man Upstairs is Will Ferrel?

Lucy: Emmet please

also it would be funny if like that was the case for Rex too

Rex: god has left us

Some guy: Aw dont think like th-

Rex: No i meant like literally, he left us with his two children

Some more quotes because i can

Emmet: so like since I'm a self-insert of Finn does that mean I'm a child of the man upstairs?

Benny: Emmet, wtf

-

Rex: So like, one of the reasons the apocalypse happened was because two children were fighting, like, i spent 5 years under a dryer because two kids had a disagreement wtf

Some random guy Rex sat next to at a cafe: *slowly dials 911 (not only because Rex sounds crazy but also because he's a wanted criminal XD)*

-

Emmet: I cant believe im a self insert *remembers his life in Bricksburg* i mean if im gonna be a self insert at least make my life intresting

Emmet remembering hes living in Apocalypseburg: Actually nevermind

-

Emmet: Oh my gods

Mayhem: Uh, dont you my "oh my god?"

Emmet: There are 4 gods

Mayhem: what

-

Rex: I mean it was bad, but i learned some new phrases like "its morbin time" apparently people say that when they're about to do something cool,

Benny: What does that mean??

Rex: Idk

-

Rex: Hey, i like your shoelaces

Emmet: Oh thanks i stole them from the president

Mayhem: Why would you steal from the president??

-

Rex: its really weird that while we have lives children are making us do this like ??? if they wanted me to dress in a pink dress, they just, make me do it! And they somehow make it make sense that I'm in a dress!

Unikitty: Rex, its 3 am,

[bellafragolina]

Greeting Renee! I was hoping to ask what if Ingo and Emmet take reader on an adventure to see an old abandoned subway station, forgotten by time and still decorated so beautifully with an ornate skylight, brightly tiled walls, and iron cast decorations adorning the walls! There are abandoned subway stations like this in New York and the Twins would twins would totally flex their insider access and knowledge take their beloved to such a place in Unova to impress them! I included a link to the real deal to hopefully help for inspiration! Thank you so much!!!

https://roadtrippers.com/magazine/old-city-hall-subway-station/

so pretty!! that subway is gorgeous and i am PEEVED we don't still do this kind of architecture

this is for you babe!!

🍓🍓🍓

Ingo:

Ingo could die happy in this moment. He watches you walk through the old brick halls, face open with pure awe as you slowly spin and take in the sights. Dying sunlight filters through the smudge skylights, illuminating you and the dust that dances around your feet. You glow, and Ingo thinks he must already be dead, for this is heaven.

When you look to him, eyes as blazing as the sun, Ingo begins to ramble. He tells you about this subway, how at first it was lavishly decorated with chandeliers and fine art, as it was a rich-man's transportation back then.

Ingo's words trip and stutter as you slowly make your way to him, eyes never leaving his as you listen. Your head tilts some, such a cute expression of your curiosity and interest. Ingo takes a pause to swallow, and offers you his hand.

"This way." He whispers, guiding you along the abandoned tunnels. He knows them by heart, as well as he knows his own tunnels, but walking them with you feels brand new. He wants to waltz you around, he finds, like in the regency romances he secretly enjoys.

With a blush, he lifts your hand to his lips, and whispers the words he's been dying to tell you for months now.

"I love you."

Emmet:

The color tiles echo the sound of your footsteps and laughter. Emmet drags you down the tunnels, hardly stopping long enough to admire the fractured sunlight and intricate curving cast iron intricacies. He breezes past them, hand tight around yours, and swings you to be in front of him.

"Ta-da!" He shouts, shoving you forward, towards the dusty, cobwebbed train that sits on the primed tracks of the boarding station. Gorgeous, faded art decorates the walls behind it, and you marvel the beauty before you. "This is the City Hall station! It is my favorite subway, besides ours."

"Emmet, it's incredible." You breathe, turning slowly. The train glistens, almost breathing as it bathes in golden light. You reach, careful, and run a hand along its slick black body. "Hello, gorgeous."

Emmet beams, so pleased. He loves you, he loves that you're willing to learn about the things he loves, and grow to love them yourself. His heart flutters in his chest, fists furling and unfurling, but he keeps them to himself.

"It is decommissioned." He says, not that you turn around. His hand slips into his pocket, digging down past the stray knickknacks he's acquired over the day. "A genuine 1876 No. 9 Braviary."

"Beautiful." You sigh, turning to face your boyfriend. But he's not there, you realize with a start. "Emmet?" You glance around, only to jump when someone tugs on your shirt. You look down, and. . . "Emmet?"

You're framed by the train and dusty, sunlit windows, and to Emmet, you look divine. Otherworldly. Sent down to bless him for something he's done, or to do, something big and grand and worthy of a blessing such as you.

He holds up the small ring, smile small both more loving than anything you've ever seen.

"Marry me!"

🍓🍓🍓

i got carried away with emmet's lolol

hope you enjoyed! have a great night!

~Renee
