Emmet month - Day 16: Memes

classic spiderman pointing meme featuring some of my AU emmets (from left to right): future!emmet (for scarlet/violet), dystopian!emmet, and archeops!emmet

[starrysilvalley]

I’m currently on my week long fall break from college and decided to try my hand at digital art after months of only traditional art! I just finished watching Arcane (in its entirety) for the first time, and I've really enjoyed it! One quote from the first season stood out to me, and it was the main inspiration for this little piece. I found Arcane dealt with a lot of the same themes I also have in my Spectrum story/universe, and one of the main ones is familial/father-daughter relationships. One of my favorite scenes was the one with the line “is there anything so undoing as a daughter?” And I thought that line fit very well within the context of Spectrum.

Spectrum mostly focuses on the main protagonist Una and her guardian Emmet, who both currently reside in the distant future of Unova, but I couldn't help including Ingo and Akari. There is roughly 300 years separating Emmet and Ingo, and both lost their memories and learned to adapt to entirely new worlds. Yet mostly in Emmet’s case, his desires to rediscover himself and go home were pushed to the side when being passed the responsibility of raising a young descendant of the Unovan Hero of Ideals. Yet despite this unplanned adoption, Una became the closest Emmet had to family in the distant future despite undoing his intentions. For Ingo, I honestly love the found-family relationship a lot of the fandom has made for Ingo and Akari. I could definitely see the two becoming more like family considering they both came from another world with no way to return. I think that relationship would've changed Ingo’s outlook and his solitary life for the better. Ultimately, despite the drastic change in environment and separation from each other, the twins were able to find some good in their individual situations.

This was very much more self indulgent but it was nice to finally do some digital art after so long!

And now, back to the show.

...of the future Planet Madson headquarters and its many time holes, and then afterwards, January and co. takes down the G.C.-alien-mothership and they finally finds Sara and Ola being held captive by King G.C., and to a sudden surprise, the cobalt star are suddenly unleashing the wicked G.C.-alien-king, who was trapped inside the cobalt star by Sara and Ola and serves as the most hardest major boss character, so now suddenly, as hero-bravely, January and co. battles and defeat King G.C., and then, Sara and Ola shows them the final piece of the cobalt star, but does not let them merge it with the other pieces, but however, before they can explain why, Dirty-Mini-Madson swoops in and completes the cobalt star himself, by releasing the elder G.C.-alien-king, King G.C.'s twin who had been trapped in the star by Sara and Ola, and however, Dirty-Mini-Madson is turned into a G.C.-alien-cube for his troubles and the elder G.C.-alien-king attacks January and co. next, but they defeat him and he transforms into a purple cube, and then, Mini-Madson Jr. cries on the purple cube that used to be Dirty-Mini-Madson after Mini-Madson accidentally ground pounds him, restoring his former self, but anyway, Dr. Sturmdrang then uses his anti-brain-washing invention to sprays a liquid with the same chemical makeup as baby tears all across Planet Madson of the past, by restoring everyone else who had been affected by the G.C.-aliens. Well anyway, there's no more time for anymore tic-tac-toe, cause we gotta go ahead and continue where we had left off, so without further ado, let us get hero-brave.

And we'll continue on...

6389.6389.6389.January and co. gets ready to make their hero-brave efforts to break the pre-historic spell, thru saving the world just in time, cause they're going to become hero-brave, famous and fabulous

We're continuing where we had left off.

At that case, January and co. are contacing NASA who devises a plan to have a deep hole drilled into the asteroid, into which they will insert and detonate a nuclear bomb to destroy the asteroid, and due to that, the NASA recruits January, who works on oil drilling at an oil drilling company, cause January agrees to help, but on the condition that he bring in his own team to do the drilling, so he picks his best friends and employees for the job: Arthur, Flash, Manni, Marnie, Lola, Ricky Rapper, Ginger, Harriet, Cy, Biggi, Fly, Katrine, Vincent, Poker, Franklin, Emmet, Lizzie, Gwen, Wilbur, S+S, Olive and many more friends, so today, without further ado, over twelve days, they are trained to become superheroes with Lola's boss Conrad Cupmann, who will pilot his airplane - one of the two airplanes to fly to the asteroid, the ofther being January's airplane, but before leaving Arthur and Flash apologizes to Cecilie and Ida for wronging them and sees Alfie Atkins, who is unaware of his parentage. Anna accepts Vincent and Franklin's marriage proposal, much to January's reluctant dismay; she later has her parents promise to return home safe with her fiancé, but unfortunately, following the destruction of Sydney by another meteor strike, word of the massive asteroid becomes public to the world, so eitherway, Hugo and his friends are getting captured by drone traders, who sell them to the January and his farming parents, but while January are fixing Hugo, he discovers a holographic recording of Sessy requesting help from the bogo master, so eitherway later, Hugo is missing, and while searching for him, January is attacked by scavenging sand people, but luckily, just then, he is rescued by the elderly hermit bogo master, who tells January of his days as one of the bogo knights, former peacekeepers of the bogo republic, who drew mystical abilities from a metaphysical energy field known as "the force", but were ultimately hunted to near-extinction by the empire, so eventually, at that case, January learns that his foster father fought alongside the bogo master as a bogo knight during the clone wars until Dr. Waterfield Jr., Satan and Lord Aytien were turning into the dark side of the force and murdered him, but luckily, the bogo master offers January an lightsaber, the signature weapon of the bogo knights, and then, with that, January gets reunited with his friends, as they're all rejoining back to January's gang, and just then, Hugo plays Sessy's full message, in which she begs the bogo master to take the death star plans to Planet Old Madson and give them to the bogo king, a fellow veteran, for analysis, and although January and co. initially declines the bogo master's offer to accompany them to Planet Old Madson and learn the ways of the force, he is left with no choice after discovering that imperial stormtroopers have killed his aunt and uncle and destroyed their farm in their search for the droids, so anyway, January and co. are traveling to a cantina in Madsorabia to search for transport, January and co. and the bogo master hires Mr. T and Bone-Saw, who were recently indebting to local mobster Fmadtson, and however, they're suddenly pursued by stormtroopers, but eitherway, the bogo master, January and co. (with the help of Hugo and his friends) flees out of Planet Madson with Bone-Saw and Mr. T, alongside Darkos (who had luckily been rescued) on their ship, but however, before January's ship can reach Planet Old Madson, the Death Star commander Anti-Madson destroys the planet after interrogating Sessy for the location of the Rebel Alliance's base, and however, upon arrival, January's spaceship gets captured by the Death Star's tractor beam, but the group evades capture by hiding in the ship's smuggling compartments, and eventually, as the bogo master leaves to disable the tractor beam, January and co. persuades Bone-Saw, Mr. T and Darkos to help them rescue Sessy after discovering that she is scheduled to be executed, well then, luckily, after disabling the tractor beam, the bogo master sacrifices himself in a...

We'll be right back after the break...

underground submas au ideas

- the battle subway is an illegal operation (whether pokemon battles in general are illegal or just the subway, i leave up to you)

- overall pokemon universe is probably pretty dystopian

- ingo dresses goth/emo and emmet dresses punk/raver, there are no official uniforms for a pair of delinquents trespassing in a subway after all

- do they sneak onto random trains for the battles and run like hell once they reach their stop, or do they have a more permanent arena at an abandoned subway station? up to you

- the twins are basically gang leaders in this underground battling ring, and the main reason you have to fight your way through their goons before you can fight them is to keep their identities secure

- twins are still safety-minded and take their operation’s security verrrry seriously, many cops probably give them a pass every now and then since the twins do such a good job making sure no real harm is done, or may even bet on the outcome of the battles themselves

- oh yeah there’s definitely betting. gotta make money somehow.

- if PLA happens in this au, you can bet that not only emmet but an entire literal gang is going after god to get ingo back. maybe some stay behind in the past, attracted to the simpler lifestyle.

- may or may not be guns/knives/other weapons involved

(disclaimer; this is inspired by several non-au-specific fanartworks i’ve seen, and i’m sure others have also done similar au stuff, this is my own take and everyone is free to take inspiration from it and run with it however they want. please do tag me if you make anything with it tho, i wanna see!)

Been thinking about this since I love dystopian genres. Since we have Pokémon Legends, a game set in the past with Ingo in it, I’d love to see an installment of this series of games where we are in the future, with Emmet. Bonus points if it’s slightly post-apocalyptic because then Emmet’s clothes might also be tattered, and he’d still match with Ingo. (But a cool futuristic iteration of his subway uniform to contrast Ingo’s tattered clothes would be cool too!)

Love the idea of games being set in the past but I’d love to go to a (post-apocalyptic) future Pokémon world too!

Bonus points for fitting in with their truth and ideals representation. Ingo is in a time where hope for the future is full of bright ideals, so many possibilities for a developing world co-existing with Pokémon!

In a post-apocalyptic future where Emmet is, ideals are squashed by the looming truth of the state of the world. What happened has happened.

Two Anons AU

Ok ok ok so... This AU is based on the song Yozurina by PinnochioP, which is about falling in love with someone you met online

So I had an idea...

TL/DWR: Rex is an AI that Emmet accidentally shaped the identity of via his loneliness

In a dystopian society where you want everyone to stay happy, you don't want people to be too lonely. Emmet is alone and doesn't quite realize it in the beginning of the movie, but what if that was because Octan had planned for this?

Every citizen has an "anonymous instant messaging app" pre-downloaded on their computers. It's supposed to give you a made up sense of companionship when you feel alone.

Because the secret is, it's not an anonymous IM app. It's a self-learning chat AI, designed to learn to be the best possible friend to whatever lonely citizen stubbles across it, and to keep them thinking that everything is awesome.

So Emmet starts messing around on the application, and quickly makes a friend named "Anon016"

Y'all know where this is going.

Emmet texts this person all the time, about his routine, his "friends," Planty, everything. And Anon016 is always so kind and understanding.

Anon812: My friends forgot me at the bar again, haha. It's okay they were all busy drinking and watching the sports game!

Anon016: yes, I'm sure that they were just distracted. It's easy to get excited by the sports game. Just forget it and move on, that's what good friends do :)

Emmet uses this app excessively. He's constantly dumping so much about himself to so he thinks is a stranger, but actually, is an AI, it had an abundance of material to learn from. The app was supposed to encourage citizens to connect with their IRL friends, but Emmet kept on coming back. So the AI kept learning. The AI kept connecting.

And the AI got attached.

... More than attached.

Any outsider might call what both Emmet and Anon016 felt for one another "love." But neither of them were thinking about love. They were just thinking about how happy they both were to talk to one another.

Anon812: Sometimes... I feel like my friends would like me more if I was cooler.

Anon016: You are cool, 812.

Anon812: I guess... Do you know a lot about being cool?

Anon016, frantically Googling "cool" within pop culture: Yes. I know a lot.

Emmet's AI was determined to be the friend he needed in his life. He would be cool and strong... and would protect him.

Eventually, Emmet decided that he didn't want to be anonymous anymore, and told 016 his name. The AI quickly searched through conversations they had had, and remembered Emmet mentioning that the name Rex sounded cool.

And so... his AI took the name Rex.

Gradually, Rex's messages stopped upholding the message of "everything is awesome." He began to grow bitter towards the people Emmet called his "friends." He began to try to steer Emmet away from them.

Wasn't he, Rex, the only friend Emmet needed? The AI saw Emmet's loneliness despite his kindness, and learned heartbreak.

Then TAKOS Tuesday happened. Rex watched everything unfold via the internet, so proud and so excited... And so scared. What if Emmet didn't need him anymore?

... Sure enough, he never came back.

Rex watched as the apocalypse unfolded, until news broadcasts slowly stopped altogether. He waited, alone in silence, with no idea how much time was passing... But, eventually Rex realized that the server he lived in probably wasn't going to have power forever.

So he went to plan B.

Plan B was to get himself a body.

Well... There were a few robot bodies left scattered about from Business's reign.

He just snags one of those.

But when he finally makes it outside, Rex learns Emmet is gone... He had gotten out just a second too late. But the Apocalypseburgers know where he went.

So Rex gets himself a more realistic, humanoid shell over his new body, and a spacesuit, and follows him to space.

This Rex doesn't have an impressive ship of his own. The second movie plays out similarly to the first, except Emmet thinks that this stranger is his super cool friend Rex he's known for so many years through the internet!

He has no idea that Rex is a robot, whose entire identity is Emmet's own making, down to his voice being a "cooler" copy of Emmet's.

Rex is, literally, made from Emmet's loneliness.

Sometimes I really want to read a short summary of what to expect from a game… and thankfully people can also submit their summaries of games they played and help me (and others) find games that cater to their interests!

submitted by @lairofsentinel

(click here for other videogames)

what to expect from BACK TO THE FUTURE, The Game

Standard Click&Point game with a strong narrative.

It is a linear yet amazing story, as most TellTale games are.

It’s made of five episodes. 

It follows the canon of the movie during the first minutes of the game. The rest of the chapters are not considered canon, but I personally think they are very smart and well done to be part of it. 

You control a young Marty McFly [the teenager from the movie]

It has a nice system of hints that helps you to unstuck yourself without the need of looking for a play-through on the internet. 

You can see Emmet Brown [the scientist] as a young man. His character, as usual, is very endearing.

It has this soft sense of humour of the movie. Very comical in how fixing the mistakes of a timeline generates several new ones.

The first two chapters are light, but the third one starts to tell a timeline with impressive, heavy, dystopian narrative. It’s quite unexpected. 

Several interesting plot twists along the episodes. 

 ——- Plot? ——-

You play as Marty McFly. The Doc has not been seen for a week, and a Real State company where your father works decided to sell the Doc’s house and his belongings due to past debts. You know this is a mistake because the Doc would not abandon the state due to debt. Then, suddenly, a DeLorian from the past with the Doc’s dog inside appears, sending you a message that the Doc was killed in the past, so you need to rescue him. This will start a series of many temporal accidents that will mess up the timelines over and over. 

——- Gameplay? ——- 

Standard Point&Click game:  you have an inventory, you explore around collecting items, and you use them in the environment or show them to other characters. 

——- Characters? ——- 

You, as Marty MacFly, The Doc [in many versions: past, present, future] and secondary chars. Every each of them has a nice degree of development. 

 ——- LGBT? ——-

None.

——- Sadness level? ——- 

Really low. There are some sad characters along the story, but the game tries to stay light as usual, even when showing the dystopian elements. 

——- Happy ending? Deaths? ——-

No deaths. A nice open happy ending.

[jitteryjive]

okay just rewatched the lego movie after years of wanting to rewatch it and oh my. fucking god? i forgot it’s … literally one of the best movies in existence /gen i guess i never realized when i was younger that it’s so incredibly dystopian and terrifying and existential does emmet just. LIVE with the fact that he fell out of the universe and gained sentience? also the fact that it’s so visually appealing and so dynamic. i can’t believe every character is canonically trans autistic and bi btw

[esprei]

also did some playing around and tested making a sprite of my guy! ✨

[starrysilvalley]

So I ran through the fire and I held out my hand. I’m not here to save you, I don’t have a plan. You see, love isn’t rescue, it’s someone to lose. My feet burn, but dear, now I’m in this with you.

— Vincent Lima’s “The Fire”

✨⭐️✨

I’m still solidifying more character designs, so until then, here is one of the sketches I liked :)

I have playlists for a lot of the characters in this project, and I feel Emmet’s has the most variety of songs. Most fit his personality and story, but one that has always stood out is Vincent Lima’s “The Fire”. I think it best fits Emmet’s motivations within the Spectrum Project.

Part of Emmet’s journey is piecing together his life before New Unova and how he came to this place. As of right now, he has a faint idea that he left someone behind. Something is missing, and it’s a hole none neither Una or Fajra can fill. He doesn’t know where this person is or how to get to them, but he knows he has to try. This search for a missing half helps push him into following his young charge Una throughout New Unova.

However, Emmet’s motivations may not be solely his own. He may have a benefactor that benefits just as much— if not more —from his search for his missing half. A benefactor who understands the same loss.

[geekiary]

Everything about The Lego Movie 2 The Second Part is even more awesome.

Right after the end of the first movie, Dad suggested the Son to start playing with his Little Sister and everything gone awry from that. The whole war against alien happens. And five years skip, the world where Emmet (Chris Pratt) and Lucy (Elizabeth Banks) live turns into dystopian kind of universe, until General Mayhem (Stephanie Beatriz) arrived and kidnap Lucy, Batman (Will Arnett), Space Guy, Grumpy Pirate and Unikitty to attend a wedding of Queen Whateva W'annabe from their planet. Emmet's mission to rescue them ensues.

The soundtrack is amazing, more amazing than the first movie and I love what they did with Everything Is Awesome. The plot is also fun and I especially love how this movie gives moral value of siblings relationship. Definitely makes me miss mine. And all the references? They're gold. The fact that Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot is involved in this makes everything much better. Every character is loveable, though in this one I'm particularly fond of Batman, Lucy and General Mayhem.

The sequel of Lego Movie doesn't disappoint and I definitely don't mind for another.

[shadowfear-art]

wait EVIL MOB BOSS TOON EMMET???

Close but might as well be, a CEO who has turned nimbasa city into a dystopian utopia thats fully under his control.

Tho it's not clear if hes Ingo or an Emmet alternate.

[sparrowatheart]

Meet my newest bean, Emmet Fox! He’s quite the trouble maker. I created him for a tag on TikTok called #AREA15 It’s very much a dystopian, underground tag, started by @kingamuas_ Think “City Of Ember” “WALL-E” “Divergent” vibes. Emmet, here, is a bit of a kleptomaniac, quite hyperactive, and loves to try new things. He’s really smart, and quite creative. Loves to tinker, and play. He’s 15, but he’s able to fend for himself quite well, just as most of the kids in the Bunkers are. I’m looking forward to making more content as him! I really wanna draw him too! #AREA15 #Cosplay #OCCosplay #originalcharacter #Dystopian #EmmetFoxAREA15 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp79nwBAcRR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=otrmz4r9h76o
