guess who was feeling evil and made a silly little fan song
thumbnail under cut yes i cropped it wrong in the video no i'm not fixing it
To continue my dumb ideas about our lovely but idiotic subway boss twins, Ingo and Emmet: In the modern era, they were best known in the population not for their Pokémon skills or roles as the heads of transportation in Nimbasa, but as social media stars.
It started with Elesa showing them videos on Youtube or the Pokémon equivalent which are basic train videos and what not, and Elesa asks them if they want to make a safety video that's cool, because these basic bitches in Kalos can't do it for shit. Emmet and Ingo, looking at the combination of trains, safety, and their patented brand of chaos, agree.
The video is actually super informative on train safety, but it's also incredibly chaotic. Emmet does most of the voice over because his deadpanned tones just set the mood that it's a normal video, and meanwhile the scene described is pure chaos.
"Make sure to secure your bags to your person while on the move." Emmet, over the top says. It pans to Elesa, who has a ton of bags around her from shopping, but, as the train starts, the bags all fly towards the back. Ingo, who just stepped in the car, is instantly KOed by them.
"Make sure to stay behind the yellow lines on the platform until the train comes to a stop." It shows Emmet standing in front of the line as Ingo is directing traffic. Emmet falls on the tracks due to his Archeops crashing into him, but, just as it seems like the train is going to hit him, it's revealed to be Chandelure pretending to be an engine on the tracks.
They even do videos specific to battle train safety. "Please make sure that you are on a certified Battle Boss Subway locomotive when visiting Nimbasa! Only those are certified for Pokémon battles." It then pans to Ingo and Emmet facing off against Nate and Rosa. One of them uses a Cryoganal, which proceeds to use Ice Beam, and, from the outside, we see the entire car freeze. The video then rewinds to before the battle, and Ingo points to a sign on the car that says 'not for battle,' so they move to a car that says 'battle car.' Ice Beam is used again, but this time the car has a protective area for trainers and built-in fail safes keep the car in one piece and moving along.
Emmet also occasionally curses out terrible passengers, and SOMEONE doesn't properly edit them out (*ehem*Elesa*ehem*).
Eventually they branch out into random videos. Using Snapchat apps that guess who's your celebrity look alike (and somehow the twins end up with different people and they're like "we're twins???") or videos that Elesa snuck like when it's the Pokémon bath day, and, while some pokemon are gentle and easy... they have a lot of Pokémon that would disagree with water.
(And when Ingo goes missing, Emmet reaches out over social media. Turns out, the internet is the best detectives, because someone finds a picture of what looks like Ingo in a museum and is like "what the fuck??? When did this get here???" and THAT leads to time travel. The international police took a year to find nothing, but one call to the internet and about three weeks, and Emmet was sent a ton of historical records that just... appeared? And he realizes that he's going to need to hunt down a legendary to fix this).
(In the past, Akari is staring SO HARD at Ingo because oh hell this is the social media train influencer and how the hell is she supposed to explain that she knows who he is but only from that one video where he got bodied by a Mincino while discussing trains - he doesn't even know what a phone is!)
for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, it’s the season where that’s normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of São Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.
Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they can’t breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.
Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they don’t see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:
THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and it’s being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Don’t let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future — if we have one.
PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!
side note: not to sound bitter or ungrateful but also like what’s up with Europe... y’all exploited South America for centuries but just because you “aren’t seeing results” you stop helping altogether?? if you really wanted to help you wouldn’t stop because you think you aren’t helping lol
Just brain rotting over these two :))
🤌 its about making sure your bestie doesnt get trampled on her daily commute
I wanted to draw them aggressive walking like new yorkers do, ended up drawing them arm in arm, which ended up becoming a mini comic OOPS.
He's... not sure.
More Distortion Guide AU scribbles. It's both fun and infuriating working with a space where there's Not Much Gravity.
sorry
he's just sleeping.
I hate having art blocks man. (I mean does anyone enjoy it? stupid) But I hate them because it seems like every time I go through an art block my style changes. It’s an annoyance!
Anyways enjoy a cute Frisky~
