#ddIngo AU Yakou

Submastober / Submas Sharetober Day 5!

Sharetober Inspiration: 'Subtitle' by Official髭男dism (Oct 2022)

I mentioned a while ago that ddIngo from the Death Train AU had forcefully removed himself from the Cosmic Train that all Ingo and Emmet find themselves on after their lives end. (Reuniting on the train allows them to reincarnate together into the same lives again).

ddIngo is currently in an unending feud with this train, and at one point considers himself "not a true Ingo" and a "fraud who accidentally got wrapped up in the reincarnation cycle of Ingo and Emmet." During his frustration, he "jumps" into a new life and is an only child. He is, of course, a true Ingo even if he was incredibly misguided in his original life. Because of this, he is incredibly lonely, and feels as though he should have had a sibling.

Obviously, he does not have another sibling, so when he's an adult and established, he decides to adopt a child.

That child is Yakou! She's around five years old when ddIngo adopts her, and at first he dresses her in all white clothes because it just feels right? But she soon lets her opinion be known, and she wants to wear pastels!

ddIngo is actually an excellent father, and he's supported both by Yakon/Clay as well as the Depot Agents. Yakon is like an uncle to Yakou (and they both like to talk about how close their names are), while Cloud is her godfather. The Agents treat her like something of a mascot for the Subway, and she has a lot of fun emulating ddIngo (up to and including mimicking his frown.)

Her partner pokemon is a shiny shroomish called Papa. She is not a troublemaker intentionally, but she is incredibly curious! She grows up to be a researcher and in that life is the on the team of scientists who restores the corsola population.

Link to the song under the cut!

Something about it just gives me ddIngo and Yakou vibes. Since she's an OC, I can't really explain it very well! But, I hope the song (with subtitles lol) can speak for itself.

Colored the lovely lineart of my good good friend @belltrigger ! Thank you for letting me color it, I had a lot of fun!

This is from an offshoot of the death train AU, where dead dove Ingo reincarnated by himself and adopted a daughter, Yakou.

Do AUs count for character bingo? DDIngo!

Haha! Yes! They can absolutely count! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) Thank you for asking!! I will now inundate you with information about him (〜￣▽￣)〜

*-ddIngo/Dead Dove AU Ingo-*

Oooh! Hurrah and hurray! ddIngo got a bingo! with a little alteration

There was a very real chance that I might never have talked about ddIngo ever, so thank you Riso for helping me expand him!

ddIngo is a probably one of my most detailed characters, and he's got an entire character arc! He's both my cherished little lad in my hand and my squeaky toy!

Riso and I were openly calling him a bastard when I first created him. The Death Train AU expanded because we, at first, decided that he had his Emmet-privelege completely revoked and was probably never going to get it back! He'd been too terrible to his Emmet, too terrible to the Emmets he came across while hunting his Emmet down, and was too stubborn to change his ways.

I changed it to "I am so mean smh" because no one is meaner to him than I was 🤭 He was thrown in a jar and shaken around all over the place. I actually had a bad end for him in mind in a few different places. First was when he passed out before arriving on the train, then again when he jumped off the train.

The last bad end (in the timeline) was pretty tragic, and I hit Riso with it soooo early in the morning (I thought of it on my drive to work). The essentials of it were this: ddIngo had begun to despair despite how hard he was working towards turning over a new leaf. He was a wonderful father to Yakou and was trying to be a good brother to Mermmet in their incarnations. However, he felt the train continued to punish him, putting him through rougher than necessary situations, separating him and Mermmet in their lives together via Hisui over and over, and never seeming to reward his behavior. Combine this with his identity crisis (uncertain if he was even an Ingo in the first place) and the clawing emptiness in his chest, and he decided that he couldn't keep the fight going. His last goodbye, as the train let go his soul into the abyss, was to bring Yakou and Mermmet together on the train because they were both so important to him. He would fade away, happy that his last moments were spent with them.

ANYWAY.

That didn't happen and now he's a silly, horny guy who's in a poly relationship with Wife Ingo and Mermmet, and maybe possibly slowly ddEmmet.

(and you guys might have noticed there's a zoroark version of him floating around now.)

Because he was originally intended for dead dove topics, he's still used to explore things that are dead dove that I am interested in (￣y▽,￣)╭ He's softer now, but he's still into trying intense sexual kinks and the like.

Context? Why do you want context? ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ

Haha, just kidding! This is Yakou - she is ddIngo's adopted daughter. He jumps off the train from our Death Train AU because he's angry and frustrated, and ends up being reincarnated without an Emmet. He adopts a daughter, and she is adorable and sweet and gets a cute little dress for when she goes to work with her dad. She calls him Papa.

She grows up to become a pokémon professor. Her pokémon team consists of a shiny Shroomish, a Swadloon, an Oshawott, and a Chikorita.
