ingo’s path of solitude

i need to stop

Pov: you’re eelektross and while you can’t distinguish individual words of the human lexicon, you sure understand the vibes (and the vibes are not to your favor).

Also an emmet that’s perfectly normal about his joltiks:

ugly babies

16th of March, 2022

Welp, I’ve become emotionally invested in the funny little train twins thanks to Pokémon Legends Arceus, so have an obligatory “reunite the boys” comic.

I was thinking about how the first time Ingo smiles in any of the games (shh, forget about the anime and manga) is in Legends Arceus… while he’s separated from Emmet. Some dialogue in Pokémon Masters EX shows that Ingo isn’t very aware of what facial expressions he’s making, so he wouldn’t notice. He wouldn’t have the reputation of “that guy that never smiles” in Hisui, so nobody there would make a big deal out of it. So I imagined this reunion scenario where Emmet makes a very big deal about it, and the thought wouldn’t leave me alone until I drew it.

Bonus headcanon: I imagine the twins get into excitement feedback loops a lot. Where one is excited about something, the other responds with more excitement, which is echoed with even more excitement, and so on and so forth until it’s an enthusiastic shouting match. Which Ingo will always win because he’s Very Loud like that.

Ladies and gentlemen, for today I have this silly Emmet x Elesa doodle.

Tomorrow? Who knows.. 🤲👐

reading ds9 comic “fools gold” and have collected all the times the artists drew odo in the background. now for your viewing pleasure: tiny odo

Autism-related Submas headcanons!

Heyo! I have compiled quite a few headcanons after overanalyzing these two and ideating (both the subject of Submas *and* autism), so here goes nothing. Thought rainbows at 5 in the morning, on zero sleep.

◇ This may go without saying, but Emmet is low empathy, and Ingo is high empathy.

Emmet will attempt to express empathy but will end up giving you "the facts" instead of typical sympathy. Ingo will console you and encourage you through your struggle, despite any slipups he may make.

◇ Emmet has a higher tolerance to sound and a lower tolerance to physical sensations. Ingo has a higher tolerance to physical sensations and a lower tolerance to sound (despite being loud himself).

◇ Ingo adores physical contact and will accept it without question, but Emmet may hesitate to engage in this. He needs to really trust you first and give you details on what he likes and dislikes.

◇ Emmet is very intelligent just like Ingo, but he has frequent nonverbal moments, which unfortunately leads to others believing there is a "smarter twin". Ingo is the one to speak first, and Emmet may or may not add onto it, depending on whether he can physically speak at the moment or not.

This can cause problems as well, such as during interviews or appointments where he needs to give vital information -- he finds himself being too vague after the fact. (This one is totally not self projection!)

He is aware of his choppy speech pattern as well, but it is difficult to stop.

◇ Unlike Ingo, Emmet has ADHD paired with his autism, which gives him conflicting symptoms. He may switch around his eating habits quicker, or he may erratically change something in his routine and quickly regret it afterwards.

◇ Ingo can hold eye contact for a *much* longer duration of time than Emmet. Emmet, on the other hand, seems to avoid it almost completely, unless it is with Ingo, Elesa, or another verrrry trusted person. (Even here, it is still uncomfortable if done too long.)

◇ Ingo stims like Emmet does, but not in public! He takes masking more seriously, but at home he finds himself rocking, talking to himself, making vocalizations with Emmet and fidgeting in place.

◇ Ingo likes wearing socks indoors, and Emmet prefers to go barefoot.

Now, my brain is fried, so I will leave it here... for now.....

summer uniforms ☀️

- emmet is more affected by the heat than ingo

- in the summer chandelure’s flame is a brighter (hotter) blue; the joltiks at gear station also shed a lot

- passenger numbers go up during summer (bc the subway bosses are finally showing some skin victorian era style)

Cool new hat
