Not An Anti Or A Pro-shipper But A Third Secret Thing (adult With Job)

not an anti or a pro-shipper but a third secret thing (adult with job)

Hey guys, you know about the Same Energy website right? has someone made a post about that? Cuz otherwise im gonna sing its praises to high heaven for its artistic references

idk if this is a young fan thing or new fandom culture but some of yall think fics are abandoned way too quickly. a few months or a year or two is not unusual to go without a fic update. sometimes fics take longer to write, other times writers have rl events, or maybe there's multiple fics and one gets more priority. there are tons of reasons for fics not to be updated every week or every month. it also isn't uncommon for people to come back and update fics after a number of years—ive read updates that took five, or ten years. people's lives change, but they still want to tell their stories. personally, i never consider a fic abandoned unless the author has said so; though if it's been a few years i manage my expectations. but a last update being a year ago is... generally not a sign that a writer has abandoned their fic

Lol if Ingo is, like, effortlessly sexy then Emmet is the guy who WANTS to be perceived as sexy so badly but runs up against his own awkwardness to the point that he has to mentally hype himself up before delivering a sexy one liner. He relies on predicting how people will react and falls apart the second someone throws a curveball.

this is even funnier with my hc that emmet scripts so imagine he practices pick up lines in the mirror

Emmet: I am Emmet! I love double battles but I would also love to take you on a date! *tips hat*

Emmet: No, no, no, that is too corny! Flirting is very hard, hm.

Emmet: I-I always check safety but I can’t help checking out your face- AHH! VERRRY EMBARRASSING!!!

Ingo: Ah, Emmet! Are you done using the b-

Emmet: -train? Because I want to ride that caboose-

Ingo and Emmet both: ...

Paper Emmet is holding:

Pick up lines:

- next stop: my bedroom

- your body is a safety hazard

Ingo: PFT-a-ah, apologies you seem rather busy! I will wait until you are ready! (I need to text Elesa right now-)

Emmet: INGO! I am NOT busy! I am Emmet! And I am not doing anything!!!

I'm drafting an infodump rn but hm I forgot I made this image. it's fitting.
