Subway Boss - Tumblr Posts

Designs I did for Ingo and Emmet’s parents. They were both Subway Bosses before they eventually retired and let their kids take over.

In short, that’s crap. Just a sketch of a single line of mini comic about SubMas (preLimboMas), while the rest of the ideas are in the work.

Also, the upper-right corner: “Nobori question. Comics about LimboMas. The idea process” and written in pencil “But your eyes… Have never lied"

OK, time to talk one of the ships I would call my favourite before I drop a completely unrelated thing to you.

So for the sake of clarity:

My age headcannons for Melli and Ingo is that Ingo's 39 going on 40 and just... Looks like he does and Melli is 35 + these headcannons apply for some time after PLA in my little thing (basically just a soft rewrite where both Akari (faller) and Rei are protagonists and there isn't just 1 ancient dinosaur going Origin forme but TWO... Yeah...). The reason I do it because:

1. Love having fun by manipulating the cannon using headcannos

2. Love the idea of a man in his 30s beefing with a 15 year old for no other reason that "Hey, MAYBE getting saved by 2 teens is a BAD IDEA." (Love the mean person that's actually really concerned trope... Ingo hates that idea too but feels like he has no choice so just tries to get the protag as prepared as he can and almost swings a chair at Kamado)

So one thing I headcannon when it comes to their relationship is that they kinda just... Complement (compliment???) eachother in funky ways because of how they are (1 is an autistic man playing confident person the other is even more autistic man who... Let's face it, probably is fathering a bunch of weasels so he let's loose of his mask and embraces being chaotic)...

By that I mean that if Melli gets too baffled to say the mean thing, Ingo steps in (very rare event).

If Ingo needs to get some intel on who has birthday and what to get them, Melli knows (through Arezu probably).

Melli's the yapper, Ingo's all ears, but they can switch occasionally.

Also they probably do be unmasking when together, but tbf, I need to study the specifics of autistic masking even tho I am autistic, just very freshly diagnosed.

K, this is gonna be short, since I am just gonna complain, BUT I HATE THAT THERE ARE JUST 2 PORTRAYALS OF EMMET AFTER INGO'S ISEKAI ADVEN-TOUR.

I know it's a bit of an exaggeration, but it just FEELS like there are 2 ways either the

Useless uwu sadge boi

OR

A dangerous psycho willing to krill.

Yes, they can be entertaining, but sometimes... A dude just has the worst depression meal imaginable and behaves in any other way?

Anyways, share your headcannons as to what the bro does after B2W2, my personal favourite is that he works with International police to find him and gets sent to do undercover jobs OR in AUs where the legendaries are involved he pairs up with Reshiram and then tries to set things up for Ingo to get back home.

Imma actually elaborate on the last one when it comes to the community characterisation of Submas.

Before I continue, let me clarify that I like and I am a part of the community. I participate in the community. Liking Ingo has kinda been my personality trait for 2 years now. Also some of this extends to other members of communities that obsses over (niche) NPCs in Pokémon.

The less interaction does the NPC has with the player, the easier it is to develop OOC versions of them and we shouldn't be attacking people for their takes on the characters. The only reason to ever go out of your way to comment it in a harsh way is if it's hurtful. Like if someone writes the character as a stereotype. I don't go on AO3 so I don't have the full picture on how the Submas had been mischaracterized (OMG how do you spell that?) ,but I've heard that some people do make them autistic stereotypes or infantilize them.

First of, stereotyping is bad and while yes, liking trains is an autistic stereotype, that doesn't mean that Submas aren't allowed to like trains, liking trains is a part of them you can't take that out because then they aren't The Subway masters anymore. I am autistic and I like trains. There are a lot of autistic people who like trains. HOWEVER there are other stereotypes you should be careful about, like acting like a child and being this all innocent being that's either the most genius to ever genius or complete fool.

I've complained about the borderline/complete infantilization of Emmet specifically in my other blurb, but infantilization also extends to Ingo too. While it's OK in my opinion to write him as having to rely on others to navigate Hisui, keep in mind he's an adult man of ambiguous oldness (aka. we don't know how old he is just that he's definitely not in his 20s, probably in the 35+/40+ range when it comes to PLA). Personally I go about like "he can take a good care of himself and others, he just doesn't have the same sense of danger and self preservation skills as people who were born in Hisui".

Ingo is obviously across his different versions (BW-BW2, PLA, Masters EX, Pokémon anime and Pokémon Adventures manga) a strong trainer, same applies to Emmet, although about him later. According to Bulbapedia he's also the only trainer besides the Player who in PLA can use an Unown. If we take a look at his different teams, we can see that he's capable of using various Pokémon even if their sets are not really that optimal (example Earth Power on Gliscor, despite it's low Sp. Atk), but here comes the fact that you're playing a game so everything has to be represented by a number the computer reads and then determines the outcome. That doesn't mean he's this unbeatable trainer, Protagonist can beat him on more than one occasion and other characters can too, although we don't see him battling others that much if at all.

Also his narrative role is essentially just to give you access to Sneasler, call out Melli for his bs and accompany you for a bit before heading somewhere else again. In BW you only really interact with him at the Battle Subway and in BW2 you only have one more interraction with him and Emmet. Also in PLA he's kinda there as like the "there's someone in the same situation as you" character. There isn't that much to him in the game as others may sell you to, which is completely fine and also by the game's design. When making a game with a story you have to balance the characters and some are supposed to just be the side character.

Is he completely unimportant to the narrative? NO.

Can you write a story with him as a protagonist? YES!

You are allowed to expand the character of Ingo and various NPCs through Headcannons and AUs! However don't be angry that suddenly the character isn't like they are in cannon, because with NPCs like Ingo or Emmet or Looker etc. it's easy to make versions that are OOC. And that is completely fine as long as you don't go around telling people that that's the cannon when it is just your headcannons/fanon.

new tumblr game. put in the tags a GENUINE flaw your fav(s) has. cant be something like "too kind" or "loves too much" like something genuinely bad messed up morally wrong they are or have done

Baby Submas! Headcanon that they were paper boys when they were little, to earn some money and get supplies for when they could go out and get pokemon! Emmet’s the only one that can ride the bike well, but Ingo’s got a great arm and is good at boosting morale (and he gets the whistle) so it all works out. Everyone in the neighborhood is waken up early with a train whistle and a loud thud on their door every morning, always punctual and always with enthusiasm.

Bonus Ingo saying no-no words under cut:
