bro, I love the pkmn fandom, especially the submas fandom. I mean, GF gives us 2 sillies twin brothers who like battles and trains and one day one disappears and is a warden in the past and helps the main character of the game. that's all. BUT THEN PEOPLE TAKE THOSE CONCEPTS AND MAKE BEAUTIFUL / ANGST / SAD /FUNNY / ETC. ART AND STORIES AND SH!TPOST AND GOD, I see those guys more often on all social media when it comes to pkmn and I really love it <33
So I suddenly felt inspired to draw some more Ingo and Emmet stuff. But not the typical somewhat story driven angst comics I did previously. More like.. a “day-in-the-life-of” type deal. Like my Mario and Luigi content. I also wanted to draw some more expressions with the boys that weren’t twisted faces of tears and agony-
I also wanted to try to stay away from the hard angst this time. And just draw something that is overall pleasant. As I was sketching some ideas I realized that I never drew Elesa! Her fanon friendship with the twins seemed really fun to draw so I threw her in there too XD
I know nothing of Elesa’s canon personality so I just made it up entirely-- <XD I pictured her being the mom friend who very dearly loves her two very tall sons.
As for the last bit. Uhg, well I tried XD I can never seem to fully separate myself from angsty stuff. But at least it was light and it had a funny twist at the end! :DD
Silly fact, I was making a pokemon minigame where you could help Emmet find his brother, I made this animation of my Emmet design while I was testing a new app.. AAAAA
More uncle submas and nephew Drayton (featuring Blanc) because I love their dynamic.
Slight headcannon but I imagine being partially raised by pokemon is a pretty common thing. With the amount of protags only having one parental figure, I imagine sometimes they'd need some help taking care of the kids. Since pokemon can be pretty intelligent and some of them have been partner pokemon with the parent since childhood, so they're pretty trusted.
So basically, Drayton can go around saying "oh that's my spider mum" at Blueberry academy and it would be a normal sentence.
Also fun fact, Drayton can't tell the twins apart out of uniform. I personally imagine Ingo and Emmet have very different fashion tastes out of uniform but sometimes they like to dress the same to test their loved ones. Drayton fails every time. Don't judge him, I'm an adult and sometimes I can't tell my twin dad and uncle apart.
Also, yeh, Blanc would adopt Kieran if she could. That boy needs some help and it's coming in the form of a clingy mum spider. She'll treat him right. Why is she at Blueberry academy? I imagine the twins would visit Drayton sometimes. They're good uncles.
It took a while for the joltiks to warm up to Drayton. Until they realised he's just a giant joltik and accepted him as their own.
Also, yes, if you could translate what Emmets joltik are saying, they would all speak in train lingo. They don't understand it fully but it's all they know.
