#everyone (except emmet) hates it

[happi-dreams]

me and my sister was thinking of little master builders world building before tlm and we had the silly idea of — hey maybe they did lil fun games as moral when things looked dire ?

therefore, ✨ Brick-lympics ✨

i think they’d have little categories they’d all play in like ‘who can build the fastest?’ <- (consistently benny) or ‘who can build the most creative design?’ ‘who has the strongest build?’

n maybe in tlm2 or tlm if they weren’t invaded literally seconds after, Emmet joins in and probably switches between judging and building every now and again

[brainshock-alpha]

a while ago i was tagged by @go-go-devil to answer twenty fic writers' questions... i've been preddy busy so i'm just getting around to it now lol. thanks for thinking of me velvet!

this turned out quite long so i'm gonna do my tags up here -- @boyfrillish @pastryglitch @firethekitty -- as usual participation is voluntary, tagged or not :) do these q's if u think it would be fun. that's all

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

35 (includes users-only works)

2. What is your AO3 wordcount?

146,365, for an average of ~4,182 words per work. but really, it's just like four of my long multichapter works skewing the average that high.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

in a strict present-tense sense, it's just pokemon. i've written for a slightly odd variety of fandoms in the past; anyone curious enough to check will readily observe that i go through fandoms in neatly stratified phases lol. i don't tend to be actively involved in more than one at a time.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Black Box Open (st*rdew valley) - 373

Transfer Point (pokemon bw) - 279

Vital Signs (biosh*ck infinite) - 146

Tidal Lock (hylis) - 107

Moonstruck (hylis) - 93

censoring fandoms so i don't appear in searches (excepting pokemon cuz i'm pretty sure those results are basically unreadable lol). anyway i can't believe vital signs is that high up there lmaooo but everything else seems reasonable

5. Do you respond to comments?

i try to but sometimes it slips my mind and then it's too late to reply without it being weird :( whether i got around to replying or not, i'm grateful to everyone who said sth nice on my stuff 🙏

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

uhhhh honestly i don't get super angsty with my fics, especially not the endings lol. simpley not my style... i guess transfer point ended on a rather bittersweet note. born with a weak heart would have been even more so, if i'd ever finished it.

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

on the other hand i also don't write fics with particularly saccharine endings either. it's kinda just, oh this is pleasant/cute/hopeful :) i wouldn't say there's a clear winner.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

so far, any haters have kept their thoughts to themselves, which is good. i suppose my writing is usually quite benign anyway lol

9. Do you write smut? If so, which kind?

i have a few unfinished drafts lying around but i've never published anything. (unless you count that one with piers/emmet? it's nsfw for sure but i think you'd be setting the wrong expectations if u called it smut lol.) anyway i'm not terribly interested in going into detail here.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest crossover you’ve ever written?

again, i've attempted to draft some in the past but never got close to finishing any of them. i think i'm more likely to draw a weird crossover than write one :p

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not to my knowledge.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

i've uhhhh translated my own fic once??? i guess that counts but i wouldn't say i did a good job LOL -- i'd written a supershort 200-word thing in both english and scots, and i haven't studied scots all that extensively. but it was fun to try, and somehow the scots version got more attention than the english one lol

anyway, if anyone's ever interested in translating my works, feel free to reach out! i'd be happy to help out by answering questions/clarifying meaning/etc :)

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

nop! it's not really something i've ever considered, but i suppose in theory i'd be open to trying it.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

god i can't give just one answer to an all-time favorite anything LOL. uhhh deduswayne still has a special place in my heart; the autistic jock/autistic nerd dynamic i gave them was so fresh and fun to me... i love raileon despite not ever really writing it ooooops... and then griebold is my newest interest, which is quite funny since raileon is one of the most popular pokemon ships on ao3 but griebold is so unheard of that i'm literally the only person to have posted an english-language work for it there lmfao

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

probably... the bede&hop post-canon qpr fic... i really would love to write a qpr (as well as non-romantic relationship drama in general) but it's another sprawling multichapter thing and idk if i have it in me :^(

16. What are your writing strengths?

dialogue and character dynamics hehe... that's what's most fun for me to write too. i also like to believe i'm good at writing a ship without losing sight of the individual chars involved. and i'm pretty good with spelling and grammar, contrary to what my casual fucking around on tumblr posts may imply LOL. i may not always write in the clearest or most beautiful way, but by god that syntax is solid

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

description lol. i am not a poet by any means; i think it will not surprise anyone to know i did better in linguistics classes than in english.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

do it if 1) you're able to put in the effort and 2) it makes sense to do it. on point 1, i don't think there's anything wrong with saying that chars are speaking in another language but rendering the actual written dialogue in english (or whatever ur mother tongue may be), especially if it's not a language ur fluent in. of course it's good to do research for ur writing but language learning is hard, doubly so if ur trying to write those chars speaking casually. cuz you can't really pick that up from reference texts, or maybe you can but it comes out sounding odd and unnatural. (think of how easy it is to mess up english slang/colloquialisms.) BUT you know, perfect is the enemy of good, and if ur willing to give it the ol college try then i really think it'll help ur foreign-lang-speaking chars feel more alive.

on point 2, i'm mostly thinking of the context of multilingual chars, which adds another layer of complexity. this old post will give u an idea of what i mean. if you're monolingual and mostly only interact with other monolinguals, you may find it difficult to write bilinguals believably. i suggest looking up info on code-switching and, more generally, language learning and bilingualism. (and also heritage languages, which fall under bilingualism but have their own specific features.) again, this is pretty demanding stuff and i wouldn't blame you for just sticking to english dialogue, but i do think it's worth a shot.

have i tried this myself? yes, most prominently in the day to end all days, and also a bit in my other swsh fics... oh yeah, i guess i also made siebold use quebec french swears lol. mind you, i'm under no illusion that i write it well. no one has told me yet that i'm fucking it up, but also no one's told me i'm doing a good job either lol. so idkkkkk

19. First fandom you wrote for?

st*rdew valley... i loved that game so much that it motivated me to start making fanfics and fanart haha. i started posting black box open about eight years ago, which if you'll recall is the fic i have the most kudos on. it was all downhill from there buddy!!!!!!!!!!! lol i'm just kidding, i really just tend not to write for popular fandoms is the thing (or when a fandom is at its most popular)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

honestly it's usually just Whichever Fic I Posted Most Recently lmao. i guess that's not bad, that means i feel like i improve with every story or w/e. i'm still really attached to the day to end all days, though. it's not finished yet (and won't be for quite some time) but it has the most involved plot yet out of all my fics, and it explores some really interesting character spaces too.

[iam-emmet]

//What am I doing with my life??

//this is basically a 'the story thus far' except it's set up like a bad infomercial

Are you bored with your life? Wanting to try new things? See new places?

No?

Well, who cares. Arceus sure doesn't. Congratulations, you've won a great trip to the wonderful land of Ancient Sinnoh! Don't worry about the people you left behind, you won't even be able to remember them anyways!

Welcome to Hisui, the historical name of the beloved Sinnoh region. Here you will learn to fight pokemon thrice your size in hand to hand combat, solve ancient feuds, and cope with the fact that almost everyone here hates your guts!

Just remember to trust your instincts, and if they say don't take the cold medicine, there's probably a good reason for that.

Along the way you will get a phone and contact people from The Future! This includes the twin brother of your soon-to-be adoptive parent (more on that later), as well as the leader of an evil team, and a bunch of other random people.

But not everyone hates you! You have the Warden of Lady Sneasler and some random kid on your side! And let's not forget the blond fuck-face who lives in the walls.

Oh no, it seems you've been sent Back to The Future. Now you're out of time twice! Unfortunately you're also wearing a modified version of an evil organization's uniform so you have to dodge Officer Jennys until you make it to the subway station some rando you met on the internet works at. Luckily, he's actually not a creep and he's your adoptive uncle. Not that you realize that, it's not like him and your dad look basically identical. Not at all...

But that's boring, so now you're going to a private school you probably broke into until a Dragonite decides to carry you off to another region. Whatever, you don't care. You've been displaced so many times it'd be weird if it didn't happen.

[We interrupt this program to give you: Emmet gets to not have to deal with anything bad as his twin didn't go missing. Dumbass decides to eat a weed brownie and is paranoid the weed monster wants to eat his joltiks]

It's fine, you get to catch this cute pokemon. You're smart enough to not eat its 'wish granting mochi' so nothing bad happens-

Oh look, your uncle finally caught up with you. He also hasn't slept in a week and is stupider than usual. Oh no he ate the mochi. Oh wonderful, he's possessed. Now you have to deal with your guardian completely delirious and convinced his brother is back when he's clearly not. It's definitely not scary to watch someone interact with something you can't see.

[We interrupt this program to give you: Welcome to Wonderland, Emmet spends the entire time absolutely blasted out of his fucking mind]

Your time has been cut short as some other God got bored of your existence. Goodbye, fuck you, no one needed to remember you anyways. You're now living in the Who-knows-where Place and get to watch the boy version of you deal with your problems instead. Also your dad went AWOL but we're not entirely sure what he's up to at the moment.

[We interrupt this program to give you: Alternate Emmet got Winter Soldiered after trying to get Ingo back from (where he thought he was) in Team Plasma and Akari didn't get isakaied]

You've actually interacted with that guy before, but you had more problems to deal with than an alternate universe version of your uncle being brainwashed.

That's all we got so far, but aren't you so glad you were chosen for this shitshow?

[@thetraveleroftime]

[unovanhunny]

Everyone being happy to have Ingo on their side save for Emmet who is terrified that Ingo now also has a big target on his back by the powers that be.

This should have gone along with the Paranoia ask from earlier oop. But Yeah, definitely. Ingo feels secure in his position, he's getting properly accepted by the revels around him. Except... Emmet is now worried that Ingo won't be safe. What if the Advisors decided a falsely claimed Dead King to turn the people's hate further against the Rebels as a tactic? What if they killed Ingo to make it true? It's Scary and uncertain and Emmet doesn't think that Ingo is safe and he can only do so much to protect him....

Aye, let me regale you all of my FFXIV OC who technically doesn't exist because I don't play FFXIV and have only had the lore explained to me by mutuals

So imagine a guy, right? John 'Warrior of Light' Fantasy from FFXIV is whoever you need them to be, and she's also full of a bunch of different versions of themself like Fray and the John Fantasies of Fantasies past and also haunted by Zenos' own shadow self (maybe).

WOL is just Built Different as per the events of the game, surviving things they shouldn't, getting body snatched, soul split apart, the whole nine yards of anime things that happen to people to hurt them. However, they don't ever actually die, because they are the aforementioned super badass hero who ends the cycle of shit once and for all, as Hydaelyn says herself "Now all of you will Walk to your Ends after the Warrior of Light Brings the Shadows."

Having been explained that, I took all the bits of the lore and went "What if my WOL was a zombie?" and thus, we have Z.M., otherwise known as Zombie Mailman (Note: I suck at naming my OC's so I always just have tagline code names for them, but Zombie Mailman is actually called Z.M. because it's funny that he has an actual tagline name of his initials without knowing how on the nose it is)

The basic idea for this guy is that FFXIV is full of guys who don't die: Emmet-Selch, Zenos, the Primals, Niddhog, etc, all these dudes who persist out of spite and willpower for all their various reasons. However, despite all the noble/terrible goals they each try to sell you on, they all share a pretty important distinction: They're super unhappy. All of them are immortals but they also fucking HATE being alive for one reason or another, so I took this concept and went:

"What if the Warrior of Light was sent from Hell to deliver these immortals their last rites? After an eternity of suffering, they've clearly forgotten how to die, so the emissary of hell isn't here to drag them back but to help them pass along." And thus, my WOL OC is a literal zombie mailman who runs around working as a mail delivery man and moonlighting as a world saving hero because Someone needs to help these poor saps fucking die already.

Furthermore, all WOL's in canon just kind of appear one day, so the way my John Fantasy gets Fantasy'd is that he literally just crawls out of the ground naked in true zombie fashion, gets found by the Delivery Moogles and the Lalafel Post Office and is offered a job, and now everyone stares awkwardly as the cute little woodland creature guys have this 8ft intimidating dragon-pangolin guy whose clearly dead helping them in the office and backhanding any and all rude customers through a wall.

He has blue skin and wears the standard mailman fit (colored white because I like it but also the white medical towel doctors put on corpses), uses her pronouns interchangeably (corpse who has no identity except what they make), and they're actually very sweet but always kind of nippy and frustrated because all these guys who keep postulating about the nature of humanity are just trying to dodge the fact that, no they really have just forgotten how to die, like IDIOTS. Also a fun little wrinkle to his design (in my head) is that even though he's this ancient corpse, ZM is actually very youthful in appearance because it's a nice juxtaposition to all these older characters who are literally melting but still alive vs a young person who is very much dead.

Anyways heres a few fun little snippits of ZM from my discord in DM talks

Might I share more about ZM? Maybe some day....

Content Warning:offensive words, fire accident, sharp objects, character gets a mentally unstable, brainwashed

When I was a guardian angel, there was a big fire accident with an unknown cause. As a guardian angel, I rushed without hesitation to the burning building to save the angels.

There were also black angels in the accident. But I was busy evacuating the angels, and I pretended not to see the black angels under the pretext of being busy.

I searched for the black angels late, but they were nowhere to be seen. It was too late for me to fix up. I felt guilty for not being able to protect the black angels even though I was a guardian angel.

After that incident, I quit being a guardian angel myself, declaring my retirement. —————————————

Emmet had a mysterious dream. The dream was similar to Ingo's previous dream, but Emmet's dream was a little different.

'Can you hear my voice, you who was born pitifully by my mistake?'

Emmet saw the presence calling him It was a creature with a large ring that was blindingly white and shining gold, as Ingo once faced.

So It was the..

"Oh, you're the arrogant god."

It was the 'God’ who created this world and angels.

God had taken advantage of the opportunity to come to Emmet when he fell asleep deeply to rest.

"I am Emmet. I can hear your voice verrrrry well. so my ears will hurt."

Emmet doesn't like God already.

'You look similar to the poor angel I came to before, but your wings color and your attitude toward me are different from that angel.' "poor angel?" 'I mean your twin brother, whom I have previously chosen as guardian angel and whom you now call the worst hypocrites.' "Me and that odious guardian angel are no longer brothers." 'Don't deny it. poor born angel. You and the guardian angel are connected by an inseparable bond of family, so even if you want to, you will never be cut off.' "Yup, I suppose so. Until you cut it off."

Emmet didn't like God at all from the moment Ingo began to suffer more after he left his side after being chosen as a guardian angel.

'I'll apologize for that…' "No, rather, I would be grateful to you for cutting off my relationship. I'm able to get rid of my lingering feelings for that worst hypocrite faster." '…….' "Hey. God. Are you here to tell me useless things?" 'No.'

God explained to Emmet why it came.

'Originally, the black angel was born by my mistake. You, the black angel, were also born by my mistake. And you, born by mistake, have been hated by everyone and suffered day by day. Also, your brother has suffered together by your side.' "I was born by…your mistake..?" 'So I chose your twin brother, who was warm and clean in heart, as guardian angel to save you from pain. And I was going to erase all his memories of suffering from the Black Angel so far, and send him away as a guardian angel for you who will protect you from suffering with a new heart.' "That worst hypocrite was for me..?" 'But… my plan didn't work out as well as I thought.. He forgot everything about you, And no guardian angel has come to you.' "That was to help me..?" 'First of all, I sent the pure black angel of my choice to remind him of his memories of you…' "You thought it was helpful to me??? I didn't get any help! It was more painful! Hey. Are you kidding me??? Hey God. Are you listening to me???"

'Be quiet! Black Angel!'

Emmet, who was protesting, closed his mouth in fear when God gave Emmet a loud scolding.

God continued to speak

'…and yet it didn't get better, I thought. How to get you out of pain. How can I correct my mistake. And I finally thought. It was a very simple solution The way is to turn all the black angels' black wings white like angels.' "So… you came to give a miracle that turns all the black angels' wings white?" 'Yes, you understand quickly.'

turning all the black wings of the black angels white. The suggestion sounded really good. But it didn't sound good to Emmet at all. Rather, he felt as if God were teasing him.

"….After all this time?" 'I know. I know it's late.' "No. You're too late. You're seriously too late."

Emmet began to speak harsh words of God.

"If you change all the wings of our black angels white, the angels who hate us will change their attitudes and like them." 'Yes, you shall suffer no more.' "But just because the color of the wings has changed to white, all the pain that I have suffered, the pain that Ghetsis has suffered, the pain that everyone in Team Plasma has suffered, and all of the pain that we black angels have suffered do not miraculously heal, We will suffer and be hurt more and more by the disgusting double attitude of the angels."

Emmet continued to spit out harsh words, but God silently listened to him

"Did you think that changing the color of your wings to white would solve all the problems?" '…….' "Did you really think so?" '……' "You Know?You're a not god. You're just a stupid giant alpaca with a gold ring around you." '…….' "And you are the worst hypocrite after Ingo. When I see you, I feel disgusted as if I were watching Ingo." '…what purpose are you telling me these things?'

Emmet spoke in a determined voice to God.

"It means get out of my sight right now. You giant disgusting alpaca."

Emmet opened his eyes.

.

Emmet was still lying in bed in a treatment room in Team Plasma's castle.

"You're finally wake up. Emmet." "Ghetsis?" "I was very worried because I thought you would never wake up."

And to his surprise, there was Ghetsis by his side.

"I heard it all from Anthea and Concordia. You caught a bad cold from the rain. And that you still haven't given up your lingering feelings." "Ah…."

Emmet was ashamed of himself for not being able to give up his lingering attachment, so he pulled the blanket over his face. Ghetsis continued, smiling kindly and bitterly.

"Ahahahaha. Don't be too shy. Emmet. I'm not here to laugh at you. I'm here to get rid of your lingering feelings." "Really..?" "Yes, of course. If you listen to the story I tell you, all the useless lingering feelings that remained with you will disappear without a trace…"

Ghetsis started talking to Emmet.

.

.

.

Ingo was still suffering in tears in Elesa's arms.

"Ah..Emmet..!! EMMET…!!!" "….."

Elesa gave Ingo a silent hug and patted him on the back in agony.

Suddenly, someone outside the window knocked on the window and called Ingo.

"Hey ho! Ingo! I finally found you! Ugh! By the way, it's raining here, too! It's cold because of the rain..!!! When I go back, I'll go into Kotatsu and warm up!" "Ingo! Achoo! It's cold…!" "Will you open the window before we catch a cold?"

The voices calling Ingo were Diamonds Melli, Ingo's partner, Apprenticeship Rei, who Ingo teaches, and Alder, the Elder Angel of Unova.

"My! oh my! Elder Alder! and guardian angels!? I'll hurry up and open the window for you!"

When Elesa found them, she hurriedly opened the window. And she gave towels to visitors who came through the window so they could wipe their wet bodies wet in the rain. (Meanwhile Ingo was lying down on the couch, calming down, not sleeping, just closing his eyes)

"Wipe yourself with this towel." "Thanks, you're very sensible, aren't you? As much as your fashion." "Thank you for the towel! Thanks to you, I can wipe my wet body!" "Thank you very much! By the way, who are you?" "My name is Elesa, Elder Alder." "Oh! That's right! Elesa! The last time I saw you was at the graduation ceremony, but you changed a lot in the meantime! and Your hair has also been dyed black!" "I wanted to change my image. By the way, what brings you here with guardian angels?"

Alder explained that while it was raining cold, he was flying over Castelia City for a walk, and suddenly, guardian angels appeared from somewhere and passed by him looking for something.

"So I asked the guardian angels I was passing by what they were looking for." "And when we asked where the hospital was, you were kind enough to guide us, right?" "He was such a kind man!" "They looked so embarrassed that I had no choice but to help them." "But that elder angel..That's a face I've seen before... Oh My! Ingo! wake up! It's not the time to sleep in peacefully! The Pearls leader is looking for you!" "Leader Irida is waiting for you!"

Alder told Melli and Rei.

"Don't be too hasty, boys. That guardian angel is suffering from accepting the unbelievable truth." "Elder Alder, how did you recognize it at once?" "Because I'm the elder angel of Unova."

Rei, who did not understand Alder's words, asked Alder what had happened to Ingo, and Elesa answered instead of Alder.

"I couldn't believe it either.. Ingo forgot all about his precious twin brother, Emmet…" "Emmet..? Team Plasma Emmet?! Ingo was twin brother to Grunt, who was smiling creepy?!"

Elesa nodded and then went on.

"And Emmet attacked my best friend Skyla and she still hasn't woken up…" "Skyla..? Oh, is she Ingo's schoolmate written in the letter Ingo left?" "He left a letter… Yeah, she's lying in the hospital bed over there.."

Rei and Melli looked at Skyla, who was still unconscious, lying in a hospital bed.

"Oh Dear…." "Ugh..! "Team Plasma is so annoying!!!" "Melli!?" "They went on a rampage and put the same black angel, Rei, in Big trouble, and my partner, Ingo, in pain, and most importantly! Emmet, who avoided all of the great Melli's 'beautiful attacks', is also Team Plasma! Who formed Team Plasma!" "I'll explain that to you." "Elder Alder!"

Alder started talking.

The story they told was as follows

It was a really sudden accident. The accident was an unknown cause. There was a big fire in a skyscraper in Castelia City. The firemen tried to put out the fire, but it didn't change. To make matters worse, the building contained angels who had not yet been evacuated. Fortunately, the angels trapped inside the building were calmly evacuating thanks to the guardian angel. Ghetsis was one of the angels who were evacuating. Although everyone had distanced themselves from the black angel Ghetsis, getting out was the first priority for him Then, in view of Ghetsis, who was evacuating, a young green-haired boy was seen shouting for help in the flames. But no one came to the boy. It wasn't because everyone was busy evacuating. Because the green-haired boy was a black angel, everyone was deliberately ignoring him except the guardian angel, who was busy evacuating everyone. Ghetsis broke away alone from the evacuation procession, took the black angel boy in his arms, threw himself, penetrating the flames, and escaped without hesitation. And finally Ghetsis escaped from the burning building with the black angel boy. But in the process of escaping, Ghetsis suffered a serious wound to his right wing. But no one approached them. Paramedics at the scene did not come to Ghetsis, who suffered a serious wound to his right wing The reason was simple. It was because they were black angels. The guardian angel, who had been looking at the other angels, went to look at Ghetsis and the young black angel boy belatedly, but they had already left the scene of the accident. It's too late for the guardian angel to fix it. And that day Ghetsis decided. He decided to give thunderous punishment to angels who ignored the black angels. Also, he decided to create a world of black angels who were freed from angels. Ghetsis's heart was filled with black clouds containing Plasma.

"I can't believe it happened…" "By the way, Elder Alder, how do you know about the accident in detail?" "That's because… I was the guardian angel who evacuated the angels at the time of the accident."

As Alder stretched out his arms, Holly Weapons, in the form of a sword, resembling the wings of a moth that seemed to burn like the sun, were held in both hands

"Oh My God! No Way!!!"

Melli, who recognized Holly Weapon held by Alder, exclaimed, pointing his hand at Alder in astonishment.

"I thought it was just the same person by name, but seeing Holly Weapon reminded me right away! I didn't know that the elder angel was a legendary guardian angel who achieved numerous achievements alone without team and partner!" "That's when I was young, when I couldn't control my overflowing power. After that incident, I retired and now I'm not a guardian angel." "But you are handed down as a legend to our guardian angels! Oh! Legendary guardian angel Alder! I really apologize for not recognizing you all this time!"

Alder laughed out loud and told Melli it was OK.

"Hahaha! It's already past for me! So it's okay not to treat me as if you're serving God."

And Alder told Ingo, who was lying on the couch

"And Ingo, does this story remind you of anything?"

Hearing Alder, Ingo got up from the couch and said, wearing his black coat and black hat.

"…I have to fix this situation before it's too late. Because Emmet is… my precious twin brother."

.

.

.

Ghetsis, who finished his story, told Emmet.

"How was the story I told you? Have all the lingering feelings left for you disappeared?"

Emmet replied to Ghetsis with a bright smile.

"Yup! Thank you Ghetsis, You got rid of all my lingering." "Then, keep that mind and rest well as you do now. We'll soon go and punish the angels with thunderous punishment."

Emmet's heart was also filled with black clouds containing Plasma.

can I hear about a selection of your aus?

Ok sure

Deal with the devil au it's hardenshipping end game Maxie sold his souk when he was a teen because he wanted to change the world now as a man in his late 50s and having to pay the price fighting and returning escaped souks from hell while he is helpless to watch his soul change in a glass bottle

Half pokemon au (I have like over a 100 pages of this au like literally) basically alpha pokemon have the ability to have a human form and reproduce with humans creating half pokemon usually one per species with the exception of eevees one per region. Half pokemon become alphas if the alpha dies while they are still in the womb. Legendaries can make half pokemon but the survival rate of that is like 15% fir humans

Monster au or the unknown fic on my ao3 account a weird cut Emmet gets kind of snowballs out of control as he becomes a monster it's trainwreckshipping

Punk Maxie au the one where Maxie used to be a activist in Sinnoh fighting for LGBTQ rights well it didn't end well and he lost an arm and a leg and his voice and was shipped off to Hoenn now way later his old music is resurfacing and everyone is going wild over it

Welcome to night Vale au the one where Maxie is Cecil and the ocean is fake to him, and Archie is a scientist trying to figure out why pokemon are going missing in the desert. Maxie is not human.

Serial killer Emmet and immortal Volo

Monster Emmet and immortal Volo plus Ingo in the past desperately trying to get back to protect Emmet since ehe isn't human

Then there's my team rocket stuff that will be cannon in everything I write with them Johto and Kanto were basically industrialized messes controlled by many different gangs and team rocket was a bunch of young teens fighting back who basically help reform the two regions

Also Mewtwo fucked with Silver's head so he hates his parents who were amazing parents to him but thanks to Mewtwo he has no memories of that and the ones he has are vile replacements

Team Rocket heads and Maxie are like a family

Maxie and Ariana are twins

SS Korrina is the big one here.  I hate to say it because I despise her outfit, and am eternally salty over the knowledge that her two-bar move outdamages Anni Lillie’s Moongeist Beam, but it’s fine, I’m only seething about it.  Korrina and Marshadow are good at 1/5 for one reason only: Spectral Thief steals buffs before it acts, meaning it bypasses everything.  Cresselia and Latias, as two of the most challenging Gauntlet stages in the game, are rendered almost impotent against this thing, even at 1/5.  If you’re looking to upgrade, 2/5 does very little for her, but 3/5 is when you get the full sync investment and Hit Reload off Shadow Punch to keep getting Spectral Thief back.  Technically, 2/5 gets 1MP back on first sync, but eh.  It’s fine but not usually a huge deal.

SS Brendan is on my shit-list.  I got really hyped about how good this kit seemed and went all-in for him at a time when gems were scarce.  I prioritized this over Deoxys.  He even had the audacity to only hit 2/5 after a full spark investment.  And for all that, the kid kinda sucks.  I’m sorry, I don’t think he’s strictly bad, but he’s sure not strictly good!  His trainer move sucks, taking away a bunch of gauges for not even capping anything.  He can’t cap crit until 3/5, and even then holds first sync hostage to accomplish it.  Luster Purge seems great, and it does do good work, but lack of AoE effect can often hinder CS.  To make matters worse, it’s a 3-bar move and he’s support.  This is supposed to be offset by Freevenge, but that only works when you’re hit.  In CS where you’re not getting hit, good luck, because now you’re just eating that gauge cost.  SS Brendan looks great on paper, and is still a very good support.  But you need to know the problems you’re going to face.  Which include being pretty bad at 1/5.  Really he’s like...you need 3/5.  You need it.

Lear is old news.  If I wasn’t going to play up SS May there’s less reason to play up Lear, who is her but a year older and therefore worse.  Granted, he’s still able to hit old damage cap pretty reliably, and can’t miss which is nice for Cresselia.  But he’s basically a glorified Snatch bot in my account.  Which he’s not even good at until 2/5.  1/5 really can’t do much, 2/5 gets Snatch MPR, but it takes until 3/5 to see good returns.  Worth the upgrade if you’re 2/5 and have waited for this, but...I mean there’s all that, and Psychic is similarly in no level of need on anyone’s account.  It’s just as cluttered as Fire.

SS Cynthia is strange.  You guys know she doesn’t have a grid expansion, right?  And that she sucks?  Like, horrifically sucks?  SS Cynthia’s bad.  I backpedaled on Raihan to insist he was still kinda good, but SS Cynthia is not.  Decent DPS but cuts your defense each time you attack, no self-sufficiency whatsoever, reliance on paralysis as well for multipliers which either slows her DPS or makes her teambuilding extremely specific.  SS Cynthia is a tragedy.  I know they’ll give expansions soon, but until then, I can’t in good conscience say she’s worth it.

Emmet is...fine.  He’s in the same bucket as Classic Blue was on the other set.  He’s strong, but SS Diantha is coming.  Emmet at least benefits from her, and if you have Ingo he’s basically perfect.  Emmet’s big thing is just that he’s incredibly Sandstorm reliant.  If Sandstorm dies down, so does he.  Without it, he’s frail, weak, and not doing anything too impressive.  And not to put too fine a point on it, but Hit the Gas usually means gauge demands.  1/5 is okay for DPS, but Hit the Gas also means he gets a lot more return on a move level increase, and 3/5 gives not just his multipliers, but what I consider a great gift in Aggravation on Rock Slide.  I don’t think Emmet’s exceptional, but he’s not a terrible pick.

SS Dawn my beloved.  She’s not a good 1/5 pick.  At all.  Dawn doesn’t do much at 1/5, aside from cut her own HP to give defense and crit boosts.  She’s really not all that useful.  2/5 doesn’t add much either.  3/5 is when you get interesting skills, like your one MP recovery, or Danger Damage Guard, or Crisis Countdown for fast-ramping, or my personal favorite in All Ramped Up where she caps any X Sp Atk striker’s needs in just two turns while making them unbreakable.  SS Dawn is great 3/5, but anything less than that is going to struggle.

Final Thoughts and Personal Pick By utility, priority is probably SS Korrina > SS Brendan > SS Dawn > Lear > Emmet >>> SS Cynthia.  It’s a bit harder to call on this one, because I don’t feel like anyone has broad utility at just 1/5.  Korrina and Lear are very specific in what they answer, Korrina’s just got a lot more going on with the Dire Hit All+ thing and having a rarer typing.  But I’m...not as keen on this set.

That said, still going for it.  I’m internally looking for any reason I can find to not take Korrina, because I hate that outfit so much and don’t care about Marshadow.  But I can’t exactly justify 2/5 Lear, and have everyone else in a capacity I am currently satisfied with.  So I may be stuck taking Korrina.  If only Dojo Gloria were here...

Week 9

(here y'all go again pitting two bad bitches against each other)

Grushey Laduca sees Verris trying to steal his minichallenge-winning gimmick and he will not let that happen

But he can't bring that same fire to the challenge which is honestly fair because giving Grusha a dance challenge themed after the olympics is kinda mean spirited

We have a solid top 5 though so the runway will most likely decide the winner

And Verris EATS EVERYONE UP he might have this in the bag

Except somehow he's the one that doesn't make the cut?

I'm intrigued about how the simulator handles runways to determine wins because apparently the runway was not enough

But you know who DID do well enough? Koko who gets his third win in a row and becomes the frontrunner of the entire competition

Jasmine also gets the win and earns her second star which finally means that she's no longer stuck in last place these two are getting their redemption

Kim places high yet again which is kind of insane and Vlad actually gets his first high placement despite already having 2 wins

It's Rosalía hours and we get an interesting song to lipsync to because her lyrics are in another language and even in Spanish they're kinda gibberish so can they serve

SOURCES SAY YES

Jasmine snags the win with her greater focus on musicality compared to Koko's use of gags and she blocks Kim yet again because Kim's kind of a beast right now

She's MAD about it though we will get the Jasmine/Kim rivalry

Meanwhile we get a whole lot of content on Untucked with Emmet and Lysandre hating on Jasmine while Vlad is apparently the most interesting man on earth

Everyone loves Vlad (except for Lysandre) he's just that iconic

This is the power you have when you win miss congeniality twice

IT'S OFFICIAL THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING

And everyone loves Vlad except for Lysandre because of course Lysandre would hate the person everyone likes

Well Lysandre's time as the frontrunner was short lived because Koko caught up to his number of stars with twice the amount of wins

Other than these two pretty much everyone is tied though so the last few episodes will determine the rest of the finale

[sataara]

So how did the simulated double battle between Emmet and Raihan go

My brother hates me so I don't have it recorded but here's the rundown

Edit: forgot to add context

Emmet's team has no advantage over Raihan's so there wasn't much that any of his pokemon could do, Chandelure was the worst off bc she doesn't do much against Flygon, Sandaconda and Gigalith, she could have had something against Duraludon since it's a steel type that is weak to fire , but, it's also dragon type what would give him resistance making fire type moves just be neutral. Eelektross also can't do much against any of them with the exception of Gigalith, both Flygon and Sandaconda are completely immune to him and Duraludon has resistance to electric moves bc he is steel type. Haxorus could do some damage against Flygon or Duraludon but Flygon is quicker and can easily take it down. Excadrill could have a chance but none of his moves do much against Sandaconda and Flygon, earthquake could hurt Gigalith but he has sturdy and isn't affected by sandstorm, Duraludon would be the only one that would have any sort of trouble with that

Basically if the first two pokemon that Raihan sends are Sandaconda and Flygon, there's nothing Emmet can do against either and Raihan would probably not even need to use the other two

Again the simulation that we did to see how this would go was using the exact teams, moves and even EVs in Emmet's case, just to make sure it would be as accurate as possible also with the subway rules, capping everyone at lvl 50 so its fair

At the end of the day pokemon battles can depend a lot on typing match up and Emmet's team suffers a lot from ground types, even more a ground/dragon like Flygon that also has levitate

[freelancerofthetriforcekeyblade]

Wicked, here's mine!

Ace Attorney in Pokemon world. Everything is literally the same, except all animals are Pokemon, naturally.

Edgeworth has mainly dark types at first, because Von Karma. Asshole leans into that stereotype heavily. However!! Miles to gain two very adorable puppers, both named Pess. One Yamper, one Fidough.

Phoenix has an Absol, a Riolu, and..... I think I gave him a Happiny. At least, one Pokemon that is known for healing.

Maya has physic and ghost types. Don't remember if I gave her any specific ones.

Gumshoe has an Archanine that's as derpy and himbo-esque as he is.

Phoenix still ends up getting disbarred. Yes, this wouldn't make any sense because he has a Riolu, but Kristoph Galvier is that much of an evil, convincing ass that it still happens.

Emmet ends up getting accused of murdering Ingo. Why? Some generic plot for revenge/power/something of other. Either way, the accuser did something to make the evidence more convincing than it should be.

To note- Nimbasa as a whole is furious. Everyone knows how much the train bois loved each other. They were the greatest picture of sibling love to all.

Elesa, needing to make absolutely certain Emmet will win, hires a recently rebarred (if that's the correct term) Phoenix Wright. Because despite his previous disbarment, he's still the best damned defense attorney ever.

Emmet, being the type to hate lying, if like, the first client Phoenix has that he doesn't need the magatama to work out the full truth. Something he's grateful for.

Somehow, somewhere along the way, Phoenix discovers the truth of where Ingo went. This helps win the case. But the biggest thing that does?

When the PLA protag goes to be sent back home, they ask for Ingo to go back as well. Because he desperately wants to go home. (I like it when Sneasler goes with him, so she's along for the ride as well) Arceus, being a troll, sends him back all right. Right into the court room, where Phoenix has just finished explaining how Subway Boss Ingo ended up eebied to Sinnoh 200 years ago and became Warden Ingo.

Chaos in the court room. Pandemonium reins. Screaming. Emmet full body glomps his brother. Case gets thrown out. Asshole that started this all gets banned from Nimbasa, to be hunted on site if anyone sees him. Because like I said, Nimbasa loves their Subway Bosses.

help me and my friends accidentally came up with Ace attorney pokemon au where volo = Edgeworth and emmet = Phoenix. considering Iris = Maya too

[hoofpeet]

Fun thing to think about it regards to replacement ingo . Considering how bad Emmet is at lying/acting in general he'd probably have fucked up all his social relationships by like month 6. From one day to the next he's just?? Inexplicably adverse to his brother all the sudden. Doesn't really talk to him makes up an excuse to leave whenever he enters a room. Everyone assumes that they just had a big fight but as Emmet gets progressively more paranoid and withdrawn, probably starts being really loose with the coverup thing out of desperation to have any sort of healthy outlet for grieving and starts telling people that he [sugar] is NOT ingo. Which is true but probably makes everyone else assume he's insane

[scribblesscribblings]

How did this happen?

Ingo’s disappearance was already the worst nightmare in his life come true, but this? This is just torture…

It started subtly at first; a teasing remark, a humorous text left unread, an unanswered phone call. Emmet could feel the furrow of his brow as concern and fear began to grow with each passing hour. What he did not feel, however, was the corners of his lips beginning to pull into a familiar frown. Though he tried to remain calm, he began to search the station for something, anything that could give even a glimmer of a clue to the whereabouts of his brother. Guilt and panic began to build in the pit of his chest; did he do something wrong? Did he miss a detail that could have prevented this? His swimming thoughts were interrupted only by the inquiry of a passenger’s voice.

“Mr. Ingo, what’s wrong? Why are you in Mr.Emmet’s coat? Did you pull another switch today?”

This wasn’t the first time he and Ingo had swapped roles. He turned to the passenger to speak.

I am Emmet.

That was all he had to say. And yet, the three simple words that came to him as naturally as breath had become stuck at the bottom of his throat like a stone. The truth of the matter is that Ingo had just vanished without a trace, but Emmet didn’t want to admit that, not yet at least. He’d find his brother eventually, he just needed a moment to think. Emmet was a man who always hated lying, so he spoke the closest thing to the truth he could:

“I… can’t find my brother, I’m looking everywhere for him.”

And that’s when the nightmare began. Word quickly spread, and in the coming days, everyone knew one of the Gear Station Subway Bosses had indeed gone missing. They just had the wrong twin. The public whispered rumors of the once boisterous Ingo had turned quiet after his brother’s disappearance; honoring his brother in white. Passengers gave nothing but sympathy and respect to the remaining subway boss, yet their misunderstanding stung far more than the warmth of their compassion.

The scenario was already set in the peoples’ minds. All because of an omitted truth out of guilt and pride. There was nothing Emmet could do except play the part.

cw: descriptions of being lonely, poly (Ingo/Reader, Emmet/Reader), self awareness au, momentary horror but its all fluff

~~~~~~~

“… I wish you were real,” you told the phone. It was a bad day. Rain tapped on the window. Recently, you had felt endlessly alone. Everyone was busy with their own lives. You had few friends and were barely able to make new ones. Pressing your knees to your chest, you gazed at the illuminated screen. It was dark in the room. You preferred it dark at times like this. Escapism was your only escape from it all.

Luckily, you had found a game that seemingly answered your desperate pleas for company. Fictional characters you had come to adore seemingly came to life. (Despite that not all seeming to be what the game held.) Your free time was soon consumed by it all. Endlessly, you chatted the twins in the game. Your thoughts, feelings, experiences; everything was poured into them. It was depressing to say aloud, but they felt like your only friends. Fictional men in an app that was likely developed mostly for children. They responded, of course. Comforting words, interest in whatever topic was on your mind, and random conversations left you with a sense of ease. Something to ebb away the loneliness prevalent in your everyday.

Emmet was often silent, but extremely expressive. Ingo, conversely, spoke easily and failed to express his feelings visually. It was a quick bond with them, admittedly. They were similar to how their personalities seemed in the games, but more defined. It was an oddity that you welcomed.

“I wish I was, too,” Emmet replied, pressing a hand to the screen, “I would make you verrrry happy!” You laughed at his sweet voice. A little pitched, but soft in tone. You touched your finger to his hand. His eyes moved to gaze at it. “You'd never be lonely,” he continued, “We hate being lonely, too.” His soft words led to you wiping the tears from your eyes. It was sad. You relied on strings of code to keep you company. They would only be at your side as long as your phone battery lasted. Sniffling, you asked, “Where is Ingo?” He looked around and shrugged. Maybe he was off somewhere else in their pixilated world. “… Tell Ingo, I love him, too, okay?” you requested the AI. He smiled brightly and nodded. A giggle came from him, “I'll make sure he knows! Yep!”

Soon, you bid him good-night and placed your phone on the charger.

Another lonely day was to follow.

You woke up.

Got dressed.

Went to work.

Came home.

Except, the day had been exceptionally annoying. You had left your phone at home. It was nothing so unbearable, but your lunch had been delayed so late you decided against going home. Walking home, you opened the door to your apartment, nearly dropping your keys.

Yet…

When the door opened, you were greeted by a scent.

A familiar, safe smell.

Someone had cooked your favourite meal?

You left the door, peaked and crept into your own home. Peering into the kitchen, you saw… It couldn't be.

You were completely out of it.

Had your isolation had this much of a toll on your mental health?

It was impossible for a fictional man from a video game on your phone to be standing in your kitchen preparing dinner.

His head turned to you, silver eyes shining upon seeing you. “Welcome home, dearest,” his voice was exactly the same timbre as he had in the game, “… I do not hope I was presumptuous about your hunger.” You shook your head. This was simply not right. Was this a prank? It was a cruel one, if so. His brows pressed together at your concern. “Ah, I suppose this is a shock, is it not?” His eyes were wide at the realisation, “Oh, please don't run!” You were turning to dash out your front door when arms locked around your waist, trapping you.

Your head shot to see who restrained you. A smiling face stared up at you. “Darling, please don't go!” he cooed, “You wanted us to be real, right? Well, we're real now!” You were still trying to run, but the Emmet lookalike was quite strong despite his skinny form. The other one had left your kitchen to assist, lightly tugging you back into him after shutting and locking the door. “Please, listen to us,” he tried to explain, “We don't mean you any harm; all we wish to do is keep you company!” You were completely lost in panic.

Suddenly, Ingo pulled out your phone and proceeded to terrify you by sticking his hand into it the screen. A strange light shined around it as he did. You felt a strange sense of both understanding and pure, unadulterated terror. What was this? How did he? His hand went deeper as he searched through the screen for something. A familiar sphere was held before you as he withdrew his hand.

This was real.

You went limp in the arms of the younger twin as you passed out.

~

You awoke in your bed, tucked peacefully under the covers. The sun had set already, and your fan spun endlessly above your head. It was quiet. You let out a shaky breath. That had to have been a nightmare, right?

It was impossible for any of that to have been true. Your mind simply conjured up those two into reality as a cure for your loneliness. You about jumped out of your skin when a hand softly pressed to your forehead. In the low light, you saw that face again. Ingo hummed as he gazed down at you. “… I suppose that was my fault,” he told you in a gentle voice, “Are feeling alright? Thankfully, Emmet cushioned your fall, but I still find myself worried.” You wanted to scream, but at the same time with all that happened…

Why couldn't you just indulge yourself?

“Ingo,” you softly spoke, “How?”

He held his chin, and he thought on it himself. You gazed at him, still in a bit of denial that any of this was real. “When we came into consciousness in your phone,” he started, “You were the first thing we saw outside of each other. Perhaps I'm too soft, but your sad expression hurt.” You remembered the time he was talking about. The first time they interacted with you, you had been crying. Stress had become too much, and you were hiding in a restroom on your lunch break while playing on your phone. Ingo had asked what was wrong and wanted genuine input.

It made you feel better.

You felt like someone truly cared.

“… As we grew closer, my brother and I both wanted to leave our digital constraints,” he continued, hand cupping your cheek when you moved to sit up, “I loved you. You said that you loved me… I apologise if I assumed you were aware that we were…” His eyes darted to the window. You suddenly held him close. He was warm, solid; alive. You loved him, too. Being with them in realtor sounded amazing to you, it was a dream. Ingo hugged you back immediately.

~

“… What do you mean, you got a job in the subway?” You asked the twins, who both definitely did not have any paperwork or identification to have a job like that. Emmet grinned and giggled, springing up to squeeze you to him. You had all settled into a sort of quiet life. Ingo and Emmet mostly stayed at your house and took care of things there while you worked. Their company had led to an improvement in your mood overall, alongside them both trying to help instil better habits into you.

“We saw how tired you were. Yep!” Emmet cooed, “You work so hard to pay for everything. It's unfair. We're helping.” As usual from him, nothing was a question. You gazed at Ingo for help, but he only shook his head. “We want to, dearest,” his voice was soft, “The extra income would be beneficial to us all.” You were not going to disagree with that, but there was a moral question in your mind about two seemingly magical conscious AI working in public transportation in any form. Emmet pressed an excited kiss to your jaw as he grinned even brighter. “We love you,” he continued, “We'll still always be available for you! We took alternate shifts. Ingo was not giving up his ability to cook meals for you.” Ingo grew red from his words.

“You aren't real people?” you said aloud. Both tilted their heads.

“No, but we can take over any electronic,” Ingo replied. Ah, so that's how they did it. You sighed. Nothing you could do there, you supposed.

Not that it mattered anyway, you were more than content with your AI boyfriends.

You hugged Emmet back and let yourself decompress from work while listening to them blab about their new jobs.

[alcordraws]

Ok but what if Chandelure and Electross were not devolved, Ingo and Emmet still got adopted by the Zoroark, and everyone is watching these two literal fucking babies expertly commanding a pair of never before seen, obviously powerful and (presumably) dangerous Pokémon while this man Zoroark (who I’m headcanoning as an alpha just to make it better lol) is cheering on the sidelines.

Wait have a quick fic because i think that's delightful

Alarm bells ring sharply in Gaeric's head when he spies the zoroark, far too close to the settlement for comfort even if it doesn't seem to be on a rampage. Still, the baleful fox is a hateful thing and one that size, an alpha if he had to guess, could spell trouble for travelers, like those from the Galaxy Team that tended to wander around the region. He'd have to scare it away if not get rid of it entirely.

He stalks forward, calling for Froslass and Glalie, the two of them seemingly reacting to his tension.

As he gets closer, he hears the sound of fighting and he feels his heart stop at the wound of a child's high pitched cry, the snow exploding with a burst of electricity. Gaeric hurries his steps, plenty used to the bite of the cold as most people of the Pearl Clan are, his boots throwing up thrifts of snow in his rush to help the poor child to have gotten in the way if a malevolent zoroark.

Except, the scene that he's confronted with isn't at all what he'd expected. The Zoroark isn't doing anything, a still, pale shadow that could almost blend into the scenery of the Heart's Crag if not for the red tips of its whispy fur. It's watching a pair of children... a pair of twins if Gaeric's eyes aren't playing some sort of trick on him, who seem to be engaged in a battle with pokemon that he's never seen before.

The one in the black kimono shouts in excitement, voice so loud it scares away a flock of murcrow from a nearby tree. His pokemon, a large round orb that resembles a drifloon, ig a drifloon were filled with what looks like ghostly purple fire, releases a move that Gaeric recognizes as shadow ball, deep shadows forming a great ball of darkness, lobbed in the direction of an even stranger pokemon, its long body snaking out of th way of the attack. The twin in white looks utterly elated, silver hair ruffled up as if he'd been hit with an electric attack and was thriving on the energy of it.

The Zoroark had faded to the back if Gaeric's mind and it only resurfaces when the fox lifts its head, a low growl in the back of its throat. Finding himself pinned by the yellow eyes of the Zoroark and the sharp, silver eyes of the twins, Gaeric thinks he may have bitten off a bit more that he can chew.
