magneton sibling stuff.
This one is self indulgent. I just wanted to draw girls and recreate that scene from the manga where emmet threatens people with his nosey little walk.
wip (??) and a doodle
This is about their new outfits. I’m sorry
Something funny I noticed the other day*

Unintentionally Derailed Hype Train?
In the wake of the Curious Tea Party PokeMas event being announced and including Submas, I thought I’d compile some things that might hint at why he was chosen to be included in PLA and what sort of went wrong with that. I’d been thinking about creating this kind of post for a while now and was doing some research (I do not like to go off pure speculation with these posts), but the event being announced last night gave me a few more ideas to work with.
Also I’m not interested in debating, headcanons, etc. You’re free to disagree with my opinions but I don’t want to argue over things. My primary goal here is to provide reassurance to people who are upset over being left hanging by the way PLA currently is. Please respect this. bl*nkshippers dni–I will block you

There’s More Evidence That Ingo’s Going Home Than Not
This is what I think, backed up by in-game evidence.
Also, let me preface this by saying that this is for those of us who want reassurance. I ask that you do not reblog this and add your theories that he won’t go home, and absolutely do not DM me your theories or headcanons as to why he won’t. I’m not interested in them, especially not from people I don’t know, and I will block you if you do this. I’m serious about this because my friend and roommate, 1863-project, made a post seeking reassurance and asking for spoilers confirming he went home, if they existed, when it leaked a few weeks ago that Ingo would be in Legends: Arceus the way he is. Instead she had strangers DMing her their theories without asking, which was rude and the exact opposite of what she’d asked for. Submas has helped both of us in different ways; neither of us wants to see Ingo trapped in Hisui. Spoilers start here.

WHO MADE THEM BRITISH
i find it interesting how different versions of submas have different noses
cant wait to visit new york again and go into the subway and say is that a pokemon reference
【BROTHER!】
This is fastest I’ve ever churned out a comic, and it was fueled by needing to see Emmet ride on top of a train thats on fire. Fandom said Emmet gets to be unhinged, and i said “say less” lmaoo
I just need them to reunite, I’m begging.
Bonus dumb thing:
A losing battle with whether or not I should leave my drawing up-
If I ever start posting consistent art 99% is just gonna me be making submas content based on my own brothers- for example my brother just came into my room looked around threw my copy of Pokémon black at me flipped me off n then dipped
I want to draw more so I try posting but also the thought of people perceiving my art terrifies me- it’s a constant battle-
Silly lil doodle I drew based on a conversation I had with my brother in where I could not understand if he was joking or not n then he proceeded to say /srs

25th of March, 2022
I saw this character popularity poll floating around where, for the women specific poll, plot-critical N lost to Ingo with Emmet coming in right behind him. Seeing N sandwiched between the two muppets of all people cracked me up so much I dropped my other projects (again) to draw this.
Why people find the Subway Masters so appealing is a mystery to me, despite being a person who finds them very appealing. I just love those funny little train guys. They give me the autism representation I crave.
❌ Brother shippers, do not interact
Someone should draw the submas twins in a bouncy house. That’d end in chaos and I’m 100% here for it
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
You are challenged by Subway Boss Emmet!

Submas headcanon!
Emmet and Ingo has that twin connection where they not only finish each other's sentences, synchronize with each other, but they also share a braincell and-
Okay you know those twin sisters on tiktok where they do those well practiced perfect stunts, like one will throw a basket ball and the other would headbutt the basketball into the hoop?
That but it's Ingo and Emmet on a daily basis. The Agents in Gear Station are probably used to their stunts by now and they find it entertaining.
Now picture this. Ingo vanished and Emmet. Emmet still does his part of the stunts, because muscle memory, same goes for Ingo.
Emmet throws a plate thinking Ingo would be there to catch it and put it in the sink. He expects his brother to scold him for throwing it, or maybe the sound of the ceramic being softly placed in the sink.
But all he got was the sounds of shattering.
Shatters of the plate and another shatter to his already crumbled up heart to pick up after.
While with Ingo, he would throw his conductor hat towards somewhere, he expects someone to catch it as himself, receive the other's hat.
Who's hat?
He ended up with his hat landing on the ground with a soft thud, and his hands empty, like the space beside him. Something wasn't correct.
But he can't remember what.
It happens again when Ingo makes another plate of dinner for someone, someone who.. wasn't there. He eats the second plate alone, sighing at the habit he couldn't shake off. He eats the meal with a phantom feeling that he should be waiting for someone, someone with a familiar smile and a hungry belly.
On the current timeline, Emmet comes home to an empty plate and emptiness, used to Ingo coming home first to cook dinner for them and their pokemon. He was used to coming home to the smell of dinner being cooked and the sounds of their pokemons playing while waiting for their foods. He was used to Ingo giving him a warm welcome back.
But now, it was just an empty plate and a phantom voice from his memories to welcome him back.
The only reason Emmet would care about popularity is that it would bring him even more trainers to fight. He would 100% weaponize this information while Ingo would get embarrassed and immediately change the subject.
Said poll of popularity
ok but like ocs and self inserts are in right now, please stop defaulting to shipping brothers together
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.
Very cool of the Pokemon Company to condemn anyone who ships these two brothers together
Writing Submas? Here’s Our Local Trains.
I’ve been seeing some posts in the Submas tags that have made me think this might help some people, so here goes:
In the greater NYC metropolitan area, we have a few different rail agencies. I grew up here as a Weird Train Kid (read: undiagnosed autistic girl), so I’ve spent a fair deal of time around all of them and know them very verrrry well as a result. These are the essentials that will help you write Submas more authentically!
A few abbreviations to be aware of before we depart:
MTA: Metropolitan Transit Authority
NJT: New Jersey Transit
LIRR: Long Island Railroad
NYC: in the context of the city, New York City - but in the context of railroads, New York Central
PRR: Pennsylvania Railroad
CNJ: Central Railroad of New Jersey
DL&W: Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad
That said, let’s get into the meat of this.
Let’s Talk MTA For A Second…
The MTA in New York City actually oversees more than the subway system. It covers buses, the subway, two car tunnels, several car bridges, the LIRR, Metro-North, and a light rail on Staten Island. For an in-depth look at the subway system, you can read my Submas primer here, where I covered it. The subway will obviously be the one element you need to be the most concerned with here (and I’m happy to answer questions on it anytime!), but it’s important to know that the LIRR and Metro-North are also under the MTA’s jurisdiction. Metro-North operates commuter rail north of NYC, with any west-of-Hudson rails being operated by NJT under contract with the MTA, and the LIRR moves people around on Long Island. The LIRR is actually the busiest commuter rail line in the United States, followed by NJT and Metro-North. We like our trains here.
Culturally, you should know that the LIRR is notorious for having what are known as “drunk trains,” which are trains filled late at night with passengers returning to the suburbs after partying in the city all night. Nobody likes being stuck on the drunk train with these people except cultural anthropologists. It apparently even made it into an episode of How I Met Your Mother.
You have two major stations in Midtown. Which one is Gear Station supposed to be?
I am fairly positive that Gear Station is an amalgamation of Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal. Architecturally from the outside, the building resembles Grand Central more, given what happened to Penn Station:
Compare Grand Central, right down to the green roof:
Once you get inside Gear Station, though, you notice that a lot of it is actually underground. Both Grand Central and Penn Station have significant below-ground portions, with Penn Station being entirely underground nowadays. (Those of you who have been here for a while may have seen me draw Ingo complaining about Penn Station. He’d have his reasons to, believe me.)
The structure in the middle reminds me a lot of the information desk at Grand Central:
And the general darkness is more like Penn Station.
Penn Station once had beautiful natural light. In 1963 they stole that from us and New York has not forgiven them.
We could have had it aaaaaallllllll…
Grand Central was built by the New York Central, and Pennsylvania Station was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad. In the late 1960s both the NYC and PRR weren’t doing very well and they merged into Penn Central. We don’t talk about Penn Central.
New Jersey Transit?
Right, NJT, the bane of my existence. We’ve had a love-hate relationship for the majority of my adult life. NJT does not know this, but I do.
NJT operates commuter trains on lines once owned by railroad giants like the Erie, the DL&W, and the CNJ. Despite being the second-busiest commuter line in the entire country, New Jerseyans are frequently found complaining about them because we need to get places and they’re delayed because they saw a snowflake or something.
In all seriousness, NJT isn’t horrible and they do what they set out to do, but as a regular commuter myself I understand the complaints. It’s frustrating.
If you look at the composition of Ingo and Emmet’s team, a large portion of them can be found on the “Jersey side” of Unova (especially the Chargestone Cave area), which implies to me that they either are straight-up from New Jersey or spent frequent time in the area building their team, so they absolutely would be familiar with NJT and how to use it. I don’t usually get into headcanons in these posts because they can be very personal, but I’ve often thought it would be funny and cute if they spent time as kids looking for the remains of Penn Station in the Meadowlands, because when Penn Station was demolished for some reason a lot of the rubble was thrown into the marshlands.
As a personal note, no, I haven’t found any pieces of Penn Station yet myself. Yet.
You were a “weird train kid,” you said. Where’d you get your fix growing up?
Besides the above transit agencies, I actually went with my family to the Strasburg Rail Road a lot as a kid out in Strasburg, Pennsylvania. One of the oldest operating railroads in the United States, Strasburg runs heritage trains pulled by historic steam locomotives - it’s only a couple of hours away from where I grew up in New Jersey, so it’s not a difficult stretch to say that if the boys grew up in NJ or NYC, they’d have been able to go there as kids, too. Pennsylvania in general is teeming with heritage railways and train history (thank you, PRR and DL&W, and a lot of other long-gone railroads) so if you’re like me and you like railroad history there’s a ton of places to visit. I actually did a recent swing through the state with my dad (that Submas came with me on in spirit via plush form because I wanted to take funny photos), and in less than two weeks I’ll be on the footplate driving Strasburg #90, my first crack at driving a steam locomotive. I am either really cool or a massive nerd, you decide.
What if I have more specific questions?
Ask me! My inbox is always open and I am always SO happy to talk about train shit or go and get you photos or footage of specific stations/locations/trains/etc. I’m riding the rails underneath NYC all the time, so I’m more than happy to provide anything you might need!
I love your theory about Ingo and Emmet being the original twins, but shouldn't it be Ingo that gets the black dragon and Emmet that gets the white one?
this is dialogue from BW2, and Ingo is the older brother so following this logic he would have Reshiram and Emmet would have Zekrom, but even disregarding this little bit of canon the fact that Ingo has a signature fire type pokemon and Emmet has an electric type makes that match up work better I think... I also just really like the idea that each gets the opposite colour, on top of them possibly leaning on the personal quality in the other twin and thus believing that to be the stronger, which is frankly the only reason why I can see them ever fighting over something like that!

“emmet would beat up volo” is a funny concept but have you considered this infinitely more terrifying idea
