I saw your post about the recent submas polls and I’m far too shy to reply to the post so sneaking into your asks unsolicited seems the next best option haha
In relation to the whole which twin is which legendary I like to think you can make an argument for both. The whole black/white color scheme can be taken either way given that bw/b2w2 have the opposite colored legendary per named game. You can argue Ingo being truthful because he’s very polite and ernest as much as you can Emmet being truthful because he speaks blunt and matter-of-factly, etc.
If I did have to pick a legendary per twin I would actually personally agree with you in Ingo being Reshiram and Emmet being Zekrom but that’s mainly just as Reshiram is the older of the two and is a fire type (like Ingo and Chandlure) and Zekrom is the younger of the two and is an electric type (like Emmet and Elektross)
Personally though I don’t actually think they do have any real connection to the legendaries (wouldn’t complain if they did though!) and I just think that Unovan culture places emphasis on twins as Unova seems to be at least a bit superstitious. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s seen as good luck or whatever to dress similarly or in black and white in honour of the legendaries, or for twins to just naturally be a lot closer to each other or even highly regarded in society and so on with other potentially superstitious things.
You could also potentially argue this for other multiples as part of Unovan culture as the Striaton triplets also have their own themeing and stuff going on but idk
Anyway this is a very long ask and probably nothing your interested in but hey I’d love to hear your thoughts on your own takes of Unovan culture if you have any :)
In regards to this ask
No worried anon!! I am interested in it; I always appreciate when people share in-depth thoughts like this! ^^
good thoughts!!
I like to think that Emmet is closer to Zekrom, and Ingo is closer to Reshiram for the same reasons you do, and I share those here.
Of course, again as you said, this whole thing can be taken many ways. The twins can be directly connected to the dragons. They can be descendants of the original twins that worked with them. They could have no connection at all. Unovan culture could be making connections that aren't necessarily there
I suppose personally I lie somewhere half and half; half culture superstition, half connection - not by bloodline, but by the dragons' influence on twins.
considering legendary Pokémon do have influence over the world and its development, I could see Zekrom and Reshiram having some sort of influence over twins that are born, and one might lean more towards another.
In the original legend, Reshiram sided with the older twin, and Zekrom sided with the younger. If the twin dragons have any influence on twins that are born, I believe Reshiram might have a tendency to somewhat influence the older twin in the set, and Zekrom more likely influences the younger. Of course this isn't the case every time, it's simply more frequent, and there would be degrees of influence. Some could be obvious, some could be so subtle it feels like it's not there are all. But it's never to the point of twins gaining powers or direct connections to the dragons themselves.
But the modern culture might overestimate the dragons' influence a little, leading to things like thinking twins wearing their respective colors brings good luck, or sets of twins themselves are good luck. Who knows how much of it is true or made up anymore?
Ingo and Emmet might have some influence from the dragons; maybe it influenced their type affinities (But I also like to think this is because Emmet simply prefers modern trains - electric, while Ingo likes older steam engines - fire). Maybe it influences their thinking tendencies (truth vs. ideals).
WHEW that was long, but thanks for the ask anon!! It's super interesting!

Can't stand how people will learn that humans are related to Pokemon and somehow come to the conclusion that different people are different types. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
🍑 pechaberrysoda
there are literally so many fighting type people what are you even talking about lmao
🌊 lugias-sopping-anus
Your genetic make up doesn't just magically change type because you took a karate class. Do you also think your Charizard is a Grass type now because it learnt Solar Beam?
✨ ace-trainer-luna
But aren't Psychic type people a thing? Some humans have telekinetic powers, I'm pretty sure there are a few gym leaders who have them. There are even rare cases of children born with psychic abilities.
🌸 cynthiasfuturewife
that's still just learning moves
🌌 mistyterrain
As an actual Psychic type, this post is really disheartening to see. The fact that people who still refuse to acknowledge the existence of psychics are so common is just shocking. We exist!

no one's refusing to acknowledge the existence of shit, you just don't know how types work
🌌 mistyterrain
The sheer ignorance on display here, it's obvious you're just mad you're a normal type lol.

Actual professor here! Genetically, all humans are Normal types, though some of our relatively recent ancestors were Psychic. Part of what let us succeed as a species was reutilizing the brain power originally used for psionics to language and tool use. We do still have some vestigial psychic power that can be trained, though it's quite weak compared to most Pokémon. As for those born with psychic powers, this is considered nowadays to be like an egg move, passed down from parent to child. And no, obviously learning Fighting moves doesn't make you a Fighting type, there is no way for a human to change their type.

god I hate this writing class
what is the point of giving us both three word count limits, and restricting the length of the final animation/animatic
(this is one of my less valid criticisms of the class, being more to do with me just not liking the class already and not being fond of being forced to fit a story into as little as ninety seconds/2 A4 pages)
(I can do it, it's just not what I like doing)
I do not see the point in giving us a word count for the outline when we're already limited by having to fit the story into two A4 pages in screenplay formatting.
And I don't get the two A4 pages thing when we've already got a limit on the length the actual animation can be.
Just. pick one. hell, pick two. don't say "you have 300 words for the outline, 50 words for the synopsis, 2 A4 screenplay-formatted pages, and the final animation has to be 90 seconds or less"
I can fit far more than two screenplay-formatted A4 pages into three hundred words of outline and ninety seconds of animation, (hell, even thirty seconds of dialogue, depending on certain factors, takes far more than two A4 pages)
Like yeah, sure, I can write things that'll fit that criteria, but I'd really rather just have to follow one.
Because when I'm being forced to use the process of
core idea -> mind map -> for two stories (pick 2 word title) -> for two stories (write 10 word max logline, 50 word max synopsis, and 300 word max outline) -> pick one and write 2 A4 page-long script/screenplay for one -> make a 90 second animatic
(which I think is just a completely absurd process — and this is me talking. I'm an idiot who does things in the worst and least efficient way possible, and I think this is inefficient and a mess and a terrible way to do it — normally when I hate the method taught for something it's because I'm a jackass and an idiot who sucks at everything, not because I genuinely think it's stupid. Primary-High school essay writing formulae and creative writing rules notwithstanding)
I'm not saying restrictions or limitations in writing are bad (they're not) but I mean. forcing us to use a specific process? when basically every single source of good writing advice will tell you "this is a box of tools, pick them up, try them out, see what works for you, and throw out what doesn't"?
(This is ignoring that the guy teaching this class thinks protagony is entirely defined by "being the character who changes (the most) over the story's course" as opposed to being the character whose actions drive the plot or who the story focuses on and whatnot. Also apparently sherlock holmes just. doesn't exist according to this guy?)
(not being literal there. just. sherlock holmes is a famously static protagonist? To my memory, excluding a scandal in bohemia, for the most part ACD sherlock's personality, opinions, and outlook on things don't change in the stories he's in?)
anyway. back to the point. the process we had to do for this is just.
like especially as someone whose sense of how long things take is basically nonexistent outside of either things where I've remembered how long they are (my kettle takes about 2 minutes to boil, [x dish] takes about 30 minutes to make) or as a retrospect measurement (after some random thing is done, go "oh I think it's been around [x amount of time]" or "I bet it's [time of day] now", which itself only has a high percentage of me being right because I do it once every two to four months, and even then is only like. 50-70% of the time)
trying to estimate how much time a given dialogue exchange will take without actually writing it down and then timing myself reading it with proper cadence is like trying to put out a fire by thinking at it really hard
it would genuinely have been more efficient for me to have just. written a first draft of the screenplay based off one of my ideas, seen if that would even fit into two A4 pages, then read the dialogue while timing myself to see how long the animation would actually be, then redraft the damn thing to fit and actually be good.
instead of what I ended up doing, which was wasting an excessive amount of time trying to translate my thoughts and brain soup into coherently formatted notes
— which I didn't even manage because a mind map would end up as an incomprehensible web of lines with the occasional letter peaking out from behind, and my normal method of note taking is to only write the actual outline —
using those notes to write two outlines that fit comfortably into three hundred words, plus ten to thirty (and another outline that didn't fit because there was no way to make that idea work well within any of the limits at all)
then translating one of those outlines into a screenplay, which immediately went over 2 A4 pages, because 300 words of outline does not a 2 A4 page screenplay guarantee
and then rewriting the outline and screenplay three times until I gave up because it just wouldn't ever fit into 2 A4 pages (though it might fit into 90 seconds of animation. because page count and screen duration aren't the same thing)
then switching to the other outline and realising I'd need to cut an entire arc and subplot off the bat, translating what was left into a screenplay, realising that wouldn't fit into 2 A4 pages either, and rewriting both outline and screenplay until I ended up cutting all the dialogue and themes and major development out of the story because that was the only way to make the idea work
which like. yeah, sure. I could've (and should've picked a better idea)
but again, I have no sense of how long things take, and my normal writing projects and process aren't based around time or word count or anything.
and really, the only limitation that actually matters here is "can the story fit into 90 seconds". (and like. general quality requirements. but the outline word count doesn't matter at all
like if you're limiting the word count so people don't overdescribe scenes or character actions just. tell us not to do that and give examples of what's not allowed or something.
