A WIP for the Royal 4 AU I share with @glassesblu (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

In this AU, ddEmmet is a royal mage who was raised in isolation to reduce allegiances to anyone but the influential family he would some day be given to.

ddIngo has a past shrouded in mystery, and was *given* to the king (Mermmet) as a slave, though the king doesn't quite understand and thinks that ddIngo is instead an "expert."

A lot of shenanigans and magic induced trouble happens, and while things are being solved, ddEmmet and ddIngo become friends.

[belltrigger]

These expressions are so bravo. (All the expressions are bravo but these make me laugh! X)c )

I figure that it’s alright to repost the whole comic on tumblr if I mark it mature :)

Comic I made for my AU where Ingo overshoots his return, where 15 years have passed for Emmet compared to the year or two that Ingo spent in Hisui.

Also! I have Pre-orders up for submas merch! (standees, keychains, and acrylic pins!) check out my source link or pinned post for details ^_^ !!!

Also Also, interested in comms? Feel free to send me a DM. I'm busy right now so I can't draw these immediately - but my Comms are always open ^_^ !!!

I made TMA inspired nails!

The Desolation, The Hive, The Eye, The Web, The End, The Vast, The Spiral, The Hunt, The Stranger, The Buried

Excluded: The Dark, The Flesh, The Slaughter, The Lonely (I only have 10 fingers, I'm afraid)

💥Inspired by u/GlassesBlu at reddit's designs of the Fears!!!💥

I love incorporating my current brainrot into my appearance so that poor, naive people casually ask about it and I have a reason to rant :P My mother was my first victim

I explained The Stranger to her and she said "so like aliens? Are they American?" I shat myself

Drop your favourite Fear mine is The Vast :D

Gift for @glassesblu I was trying for an iridescent scales look, but it turned out more like malachite. Not quite what I was going for, but interesting in itself!

I wanna talk to you about Blankshipping and all your cute aus, but I’m scared to come off anon where people can see me, I love this ship so much but I’m not brave like you, GlassesBlu, Dingo, and Belltrigger. It’s kinda lonely when I can’t even share my joy with my own writing buddies because they don’t like blankshipping. I’m just happy to see everything you guys do for the ship and thank you all for being so wonderful to share it with everyone!

I'm sorry you're feeling lonely and isolated anon : ( To be honest, this is actually a side blog cuz on my main I have Anti mutuals so I get where you're coming from to a degree. If you ever wanna dm, I would always keep those private. Or if you'd be interested in joining the discord, I could share a link with you. We're very careful about keeping it a safe space where your identity would never get out. In the end, its whatever you're comfortable with! My dms are always open! (Tho I need to sleep soon since I work in the morning.)

You deserve to have a community and I hope you can find one, one way or another!

[scuttllebutt]

I updated my icon. Sorry to everyone who knew me as the anchor and ships wheel ⚓️

[quicken-silver]

These are all important points and I'd like to share my view, both of blankship and of this situation in general.

First, I appreciate that you (morbidly-curious-monorail) have asked us what we think instead of assuming. It's something I've never seen before. Thank you.

Second, it's normal for people to be morbidly curious about taboo and you've approached it with a generally open mind. It's also normal for the response to be "I want these brothers to kiss each other" and nothing more interesting than that. I like blankshipping because I love their bond and their characters and exploring the taboo angle of a romantic connection between them. I also like blankshipping because it's cute when they kiss.

On the other hand, I (and a lot of other shippers) are not engaging with this conversation to "justify" our enjoyment. Glassesblu gave a lot of fantastic reasons for why blankship is compelling, but in the end we don't need, nor do we ask, for approval to imagine a fictional pairing of two New Yorkers.

I'm sure some people ship it out of spite, but a lot of us don't think about people who hate the ship unless they send us threats. We're not answering your questions to "improve our image" with the wider fandom. Approval or disapproval of this fictional ship is irrelevant to me and many others. If you're approaching this question from that perspective, you likely won't get the response you're looking for.

I'm not worried about being offended, so if you have more questions my DMs are open.

It is time for an introduction.

Let us be perfectly clear- we do NOT support blankshipping. We are not a fan of its existence, we do not take any joy in it, we do not approve of it.

But let us give you the definition of Morbid Curiosity.

"Morbid curiosity is colloquially described as an interest in or curiosity about unpleasant things, especially death."

This may not involve death, but the curiosity is certainly killing us, and the topic is most definitely unpleasant. So we will ask what we came to ask-

Why? What drives you to enjoy blankshipping? What sparked it? Where does such inspiration come from? Is it some form of guilty pleasure? Is it something you committed to to enrage others, or is it genuinely something you enjoy? These questions and many more plague us.

Genuinely anything you have to say about it, we would like to know. Not out of any joy for the subject- we do in fact loathe this. But that burning need to know why is far stronger than any other feelings we have for the subject. You will not receive judgment if you do choose to message or send an Ask our way, but we do ask that you remember the fact that we are not supportive, and thus will not express any form of support.

Thank you for your time.

Last Line Game

@bakageta tagged me in a meme game with the following rules: make a new post and provide the last line or so of your latest project, art or writing, then tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you want)

Last line I wrote was ... [skipping a few docs that are less fic-y or are currently in a boring recap]:

You decide that this is untenable. Something has to change. And there’s one thing that you think will either shock you out of it or prove you to be a lost cause, but will at the very least will give your violation and your nightmares a face to rage against. You have to see it.

For the Eddie-centric Venom Separation 5+1 fic. (Are any of us following the "last line" rule to the letter? I doubt it.)

And the last line I drew was probably one of these ones, likely near the moon:

Happy Birthday Riso! (uwah, it's supposed to be 7/31 but I'm so so late) 🎂🎉🎁

Anyway, you've been pretty interested in ddEmmet lately, so I thought this might be the perfect opportunity to give you what you want! I hope you enjoy! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

This takes place shortly after ddEmmet escapes his universe, falling into the Normal AU universe via a portal.

Title: A New Start Word count: 2,222 Synopsis: Emmet from the Dead Dove AU has escaped his universe and found himself in the Normal AU. Due to his experiences, Nobori makes him extremely nervous. But will he have to continue feeling such fear? Dynamic: KudaNoboEmmet

Nobori had gone through life with absolute certainty that he had everything he could have ever wanted. At only 27, he had the job of his childhood dreams, wonderful pokémon companions, and excellent employees that he considered to be friends. Most importantly, the love of his life was by his side throughout all of it.

Early on, he and Kudari had realized the depth of their feelings for each other, although they did stumble somewhat clumsily through their early teens around the obvious. They confessed at the same time, pausing in surprise before hugging each other in relief that they'd once again matched each other.

They were a two-car train, and Nobori had long thought that's how they would stay. But that was before a strange occurrence happened in their Subway which changed the tracks upon which their train traveled.

Their shifts were always pretty busy with challengers coming to attempt a win against the Subway Masters. Kudari was extra excited that day - he'd seen several trainers at his last challenge that day. No one had managed to best him, but many of them had been on Kudari's radar lately and he was thrilled to see their improvement. As Kudari happily talked about who he thought would finally beat him first, they were making casual rounds through the Subway. It let them check on their agents, make an appearance amongst the regular travelers, and generally stretch their legs.

However, they spotted an Agent hesitating by a restroom that wasn't frequently used by the passengers - it was too far out of the way to see much in the way of traffic. Asking what was going on gained them the answer that a strange unidentifiable sound had been heard, only to be followed by choked sobbing. The agent was in the process of encouraging himself to step inside; if someone was hurt, he needed to help, but it could just as likely be a strange, dangerous pokémon.

Kudari didn't need any more details after the word 'sobbing.' He stepped past the agent without pause, large steps quickly taking him inside. Nobori dismissed the agent with an encouraging word, and followed Kudari in. The confused stiffness of his twin's shoulders as he stood at the doorway of one of the bathroom stalls had Nobori peeking past him.

There, huddled on the floor and completely without clothes, was a young man who looked nearly identical to Kudari. If Nobori had been alone, he would have confused them for the briefest moment until he noticed all the little differences that starkly contrasted his brother from this scared and shaking man in front of him. His brother never looked this harrowed, for example, as though he were tired beyond measure. Not that he let his gaze linger, but he spotted various markings on the man's bared skin; amongst the abrasions and bruises there were also what seemed to be tattoos.

When Nobori's presence was noticed, however, the young man's eyes widened and he hyperventilated himself into passing out. It froze Nobori in place. Nobori knew some people thought he was stern - but that had been the first time anyone had looked *scared* of him. Thankfully, his twin was quick to act, and Kudari's call of "Nobori!" snapped him out of his stupor.

A short hospital stay later, the young man agreed to stay with Nobori and Kudari in their home; though he didn't talk much, it seemed to be accepted as the only option he had. They brought some of their own clothes for him, which fit him perfectly. After he changed out of his hospital gown and into an outfit that mixed black and white, he said his name was Emmet. He knew his way around Raimon, trailing after the two of them as if it was expected of him. Even though he looked longingly at the various display foods in restaurants they passed, he softly denied any offers to grab something for him. It was difficult for Nobori to not give someone who looked like Kudari everything they wanted, but it was also rude to insist. The walk to their home felt longer than ever before, and Kudari carried the conversation the entire way.

For the first few months, not much of their normal life changed. Emmet did everything he could to be unobtrusive. Except for meals, he spent much of his time in the guest room they set up for him. Emmet's relationship with the pokémon was confusing; interactions with them were mechanical, but he was immensely knowledgeable of all their partners food, health, and wellness needs. He offered to do the chores while they were at work; when Nobori and Kudari insisted he should focus on his recovery, his simple answer of 'I still need to be useful' worried Nobori to his very core.

Questions asked of Emmet by Kudari gained a gentle, timid answer; when Nobori would offer the same type of query, Emmet stammered out quick, self-sacrificing responses. Even with matters as trivial as asking for suggestions for dinner were met with a desperate need to answer with whatever would please Nobori. Kudari even confirmed that it wasn't such a way when he was alone with Emmet. It was as though Emmet wanted to avoid upsetting Nobori at all costs. Nobori himself didn't want to upset anyone, especially not someone who looked almost identical to his twin.

Curious, too, was how Nobori noticed Emmet sneaking peeks at him. If Nobori was alone in the living room, the feeling of eyes drew his attention to the hallway, only to catch Emmet dipping back into his room. Shy, or maybe nervous, glances up through his eyelashes when Emmet would join them for meals at the dining room table. More than once, Emmet had settled himself on the floor near Nobori's legs, expectant look in his wide, silvered eyes. Emmet's confusion with Nobori's inaction was mirrored by Nobori's confusion on what was expected of him.

One day, Nobori and Kudari had a split shift which left Nobori at home during the day. Thinking he could bond with Emmet over food, he began to make them a lunch with foods that usually cheered Kudari up right away. Not long into his preparation, he felt eyes on his back. Making sure to be as casual as possible, he smiled over his shoulder at the shy man peeking out from behind the kitchen doorway. Asking if Emmet would like to help, a relief warmed Nobori's chest when Emmet nodded and stepped into the kitchen fully. Although Emmet stayed mostly quiet through it all, they made the food together, and shared a pleasant lunch.

It was the first time he and Emmet felt like twins; despite sharing Kudari's face, Emmet felt as though he wasn't quite sure how to be a twin. Nobori wasn't sure what made him think such a thing - up until a few months ago, they were complete strangers. Perhaps he'd just always expected an inherent connection with his twin, and to feel that lacking in a man who was identical to Kudari challenged what he'd always known.

But, he felt the lunch had been a good start. Hopefully, Emmet would find comfort in being around them and be less hesitant to share his needs. With that in mind, Nobori very excitedly told Kudari of his shared lunch with Emmet when his twin came home.

--~~*~~--

When Emmet had dragged himself through the portal, he had no idea what he would find or that he would even survive it. But, it was an improvement either way, because something within him knew he was not going to survive where he was. And so, he'd fallen through, hoping against hope that he could be free.

Finding himself once again in the Battle Subway, he felt the hiccup holding back his tears escape his throat, interrupted only when someone with his own face (and white clothes) stared back at him. The moment of confusion was shattered when his brother peeked over the shoulder of Himself, and everything went black.

The realization that it was not actually his brother came when he awoke in the hospital. The person was Nobori, not Ingo, and the Him he saw was Kudari. Still, they looked almost exactly like he and his brother, though Ingo's gaze was more neutral and less like a glare.

But that could be a farce.

How many times had others believed in Ingo? How many times was he ignored because Ingo's natural expression was a frown and everyone knew it? He himself had been fooled. Thinking that maybe *maybe* this time his brother would be kind for once.

The soft tones that Nobori tried to use were sweet but what was hidden behind it? Did Kudari believe him? Was Kudari safe? Kudari's smile seemed real. Kudari chatted happily with him and Nobori and never held back his words. Kudari was firm with Nobori sometimes. They discussed things and shared input. Kudari easily held Nobori's hand - it was not forcefully taken.

But it could still be a farce.

He took to watching Nobori when he could. Most of the time, Nobori would try to smile to him, and invite him to join whatever he was doing. Nobori offered sweets and attention and kind words. He gently helped Kudari take care of their pokémon, and laughed along with his brother. Chores were shared, when Emmet himself did not complete them, and never was Emmet even expected to contribute.

Nobori never touched him without asking, inappropriately or otherwise. Nobori did not regiment his day or restrict what foods he could eat. Nobori did not take advantage of Emmet sleeping, or when he was not feeling well. Nobori's concern for him felt sincere, but he struggled to accept it was real. Nobori looked confused at him anytime he offered himself to him - his certainty that Nobori would try and gobble him up just like Ingo seemed to take the man by surprise.

But it could still be a farce.

Trust in Kudari was easier - they had the exact same face, the same smile though Kudari's was brighter. Emmet felt a strange connection to Kudari, as though he were looking at himself. When Nobori would ask something of him, checking Kudari for approval helped navigate conversations. Taking Kudari's hand felt safer.

Kudari's smile made him feel... happy. And soon, with Kudari's assurance allowed him to believe that he could trust Nobori too. That Nobori would not try to hurt him. That Nobori was good and kind and Kudari loved him with all of his heart. Nobori was his strong and brave older twin, and Kudari trusted him with no question.

It was strange, but welcome. Emmet wanted to trust Nobori, and with Kudari there, he could try.

And then, Kudari said he had a good idea.

--~~*~~--

Emmet was scared of Nobori. Kudari thought that was verrrry surprising. After all Nobori was definitely not scary. Nobori liked bad puns and cheering people on. Nobori took his coffee so full of cream and sugar that it might as well not be called coffee. Nobori cried in joy when Chandelure made an especially cute sound. How could that be scary?

But. Emmet was still scared.

He didn't want to talk about it but Kudari was patient. After months and months, Emmet finally admitted that he wanted to trust Nobori even though he was scared. And of course Kudari would help! He didn't want anyone to be afraid of his older brother. And Nobori was so sad every time he talked of Emmet shrinking back from him. The enthusiasm Nobori showed when Emmet actually made and ate lunch with him was sweet. It was proof that Emmet was ready to move forward on the tracks.

Kudari wanted to form a harmony between his brother and Emmet.

So he decided on an excellent strategy! It took a little set up but Kudari was determined. The concept was simple. Kudari and Nobori would go to bed like normal. After Nobori fell asleep, he would get out of bed and switch places with Emmet. Kudari knew it would be lonely without Nobori in the spare bedroom. But he could manage it for one night. And if Emmet could switch back if he wanted to at any point.

In the end, Emmet did not switch back until early in the morning before Nobori woke up. He worried that if he stayed longer Nobori would notice. It was probably true! But Nobori didn't seem to notice. Nobori's soft, sleepy smile upon seeing Kudari as he woke up was normal. He gave Kudari a good morning kiss like normal before they sat up in bed. Nobori stretched and suggested breakfast like normal. His enthusiastic "Good morning!" to both Kudari and Emmet was normal.

But this time, Emmet returned the good morning with just as much fervor. Kudari smiled into his morning protein shake as Nobori noticeably perked up. Encouraged, Nobori began to talk excitedly with Emmet as he continued to make breakfast. In fact, Nobori talked with Emmet even through eating breakfast too. Watching them both, Kudari thought it was good that he planned this for the weekend. Otherwise, Nobori would have talked until they were late for work.

And this time, Emmet was more than happy to reply.

👉👈 in ‘Lucid’, you wrote about Ingo n Emmet’s children. If it’s not too much trouble, could I get some headcanons or thoughts on them? If you’ve come up with any

Also, favorite blankship aus of the ones you’ve seen ir made?

for the second bit, i like a lot of aus~ i enjoy whenever people work off of the emmet is reshiram/ingo is zekrom fantheory, i really enjoy @glassesblu's oingo/yemmet and oemmet/yingo aus, along with the ones they have going with @belltrigger -- especially bot emmet, changeling ingo, and unicorn emmet! i also like @unovanhunny's selkie au cus... i like selkie aus x'DDD

as for my own? i like my main comics of emmet aging alongside ingo while they're separated and then showing up to get his brother back lol, and of course i'm really into hades and persephone au atm

there are plenty others i enjoy, but those are some off the top of my head~

as for their children in hades and persephone au, here's where i get very very wacky with mythology and do some stuff my fellow greek myth nerds would stone me for, so under the cut i go ahaha

okay so emmet and ingo end up having...... a lot of kids. like, a lot a lot. there was a big shortage on gods and goddesses but that has been Taken Care Of because emmet and ingo cannot stop going at it

here's a horrifyingly long list of hcs that may or may not make it into future fics/art when i get around to making more of that

all of their kids mainly work out of the underworld -- even the ones that end up being olympians -- and they're collectively considered equivalent to depot agents when they're not fulfilling major godly duties

their oldest daughter is aphrodite -- she hardcore ships her parents and has no chill

their oldest son is hypnos -- he's technically in charge of organizing all the agents' duties and is very exhausted all the time

occasionally emmet will be the one to get pregnant to spice things up and it usually ends one of three ways: the kid is a super op god, it's a miscarriage, or the kid is born mortal and dies soon after -- it's always traumatizing in the case of the last two and neither of them ever learn

that being said zagreus is a strange mix of op god but who also died and kinda is sickly (he inherited emmet's allergy to ambrosia) -- he's emmet's lil guy even though they like to razz each other

nyx is also one of emmet's good pregnancies and she's a huge daddy's girl

all of them are close with ingo regardless though, ingo loves his kids and spoils them all because he can't bear to deny them anything

the furies are also some of emmet's and they're... strange lol

apollo takes after his parents and is into his twin artemis; artemis doesn't know and apollo drowns his sorrows in this by being a bit of a whore

athena and aries are kismesis -- if you know you know

really there's just.... so much incest going on....... but it's greek mythology so you just have to expect that all the more than any normal submas au

also yes i know NONE of these save for zagreus are considered hades and persephone's kids but this is my au and i get to turn ingo into everyone's mom if i want to x'D

[belltrigger]

The colors are so lovely in this!!! 🥺So many of the colors that I love! You did it again with your pallet choices (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

I love how they've started to mirror each other naturally, showing that their relationship is healing. Their hands matching, and their mirrored stride-!

ddEmmet's clothes look super comfy and of course his cute choker 🤭He loves soft and comfy clothes, where ddIngo feels the most comfortable in tailored, fitting clothing. It's gotta be crisp, you know!

ddEmmet is smiling for him 🥺

eyyy a lil drawing I made for @belltrigger of Dead dove AU! It's their brainchild but we work on some of it together!

I had fun with this, it was a cute lil thing

If anyone is familiar with the AU - this image would be set after a looooong time. DDEmmet has had a long time to live happily, and gain so much.

DDIngo here is reformed, and feels lucky he even gets to talk to DDEmmet? Let alone receive DDEmmet's smile?

They're both on a happy little hang out here :) perhaps even a date? They'll get there.

Also eyy, I have Submas merch up for preorder! Check out my pinned or source for the link!
