From the way the brothers' hair is depicted in the anime, although it isn't consistent between animators (I think when Nobori points against a dark background with train tracks, his hair at the back is long enough to flutter), most drew their hair hair shaved very short at the back, which made me assune they had crew cuts! It makes sense with their hats and their line of work, like you said. ^^

I know that scene you're talking about (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

I remember when I saw it, I had the urgent idea of ​​coming up with my own interpretation of how they would look with that hairstyle (and I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the editing; it's something I did quickly on a whim 🙏🏻💦).

That's as long as I think they would carry it under their hats, for practical reasons as I pointed before. Although I respect —and love— the shaved-head version, and as soon as normally I don't like the interpretations or HCs of them with other hairstyles, I think this would fit and suits the canon well enough if Ingo and Emmet decided to wear their hair a little longer without ceasing to look like themselves or as they looked like completely different characters. What do you think? (Which reminds me that I have a drawing I haven't finished since 2022 🙃 where I made references and studies of them without their hats).

Don't mind the antishippers, they harrass anyone they dislike the ships of out of fandoms, or even harrass people just for being opposed to harrassment, because they don't differentiate between reality and fiction. They're just American feelings yakuza who need to learn to block and move on if they don't like something, not turn others against people.

Nothing to allege to it. You said what needed to be said. SUPER BRAVO! 👏🏻👏🏻

[aya-luri]

Keep thinking back to the ask you got and your response.

I think your reaction is so refreshing to see.

I have started to block people with aggressive DNI everywhere… there is one thing about setting boundaries but pushing and forcing out a whole part of a fandom is another. It’s not they view everything through the lense of shipping and can make a difference between them. Antis are also those people who happily censor doujinshis off their shipping content. They are the ones that more often take something and work it into their own favor.

Honestly I know that I’m not any better if I block them. But I would never dream about creating a list for obnoxiously aggressive antis to avoid these. Or go out and ask…

I’m not a shipper at all but this anti vs pro is so annoying and frustrating that my participation in fandom has become so small that I tend to stick to the least obnoxious and small people/content and go out of my way to avoid the loudest and biggest ones. Fandom has become a toxic mess when it used to be a part for me to enjoy and have fun with others.

I know that I am probably on one of those obnoxious lists as well for not conforming 100% with the "rules" these people have. But I don’t care…

First of all, I am very sorry that it took me so long to respond to this message. And second, thank you for your words of support. It's a shame that the current situation is like this now. We could create so many beautiful things together, but instead the fandom is in decline. I was present at the first submas boom shortly after the Black and White game was released, its "Golden age", and the atmosphere back then was not nearly that toxic at all. So when I decided to start publishing submas drawings shortly after the release of Legends Arceus, I was hoping to get... a warmer reception like the old times(?) But all I saw was a lot of mistrust about each other, and "tourists" determined to treat this as if it had belonged to them forever just because they made more noise and complained more. Generally, I'm not in Discord groups because, mainly cause I don't have much free time for them, so I don't know much about the conflicts that are brewing in there, but I know that they can still drag people who have nothing to do with these lists just because you interacted with "the wrong artist", sometimes without knowing it. Personally, I'm not going to get into the game of blocking people (although I'm fine with you doing so for your mental health sake 👍✅), and I'll continue talking to people who I think make good art or seem friendly to me. Also I will continue making submas art as long as I have time, sometimes also where my own OC will be present (and, by the way, that is the only ship you should be afraid of seeing drawn by me 😆), and, as I always say, anyone who wants to have a nice o positive conversation will be welcome (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

[aya-luri]

Sorry to see you getting targeted as well.

I’m a non-shipper. I don’t ship at all and honestly this toxic name calling going on in fandom is the worst.

Are real people harmed when someone draws a picture? No, except for when some people throw an imaginary fit over it.

Are real people harmed by hate campaigns over ships? Absolutely!

I’m an Internet old head and I still practice what I grew up with: don’t like; don’t interact. Block and move on.

Also agreed on the sentiment of the twins not particularly liking the idea but also absolutely against this harassment going on.

Fictional characters aren’t real life people. But the people interacting with the fandom are very much real. So where is more harm done?

Fandom needs to grow tf up again and stop harassing people over something as simple as a ship. 😓

Don't worry, anom buddy, I'm not sorry it at all. I've seen it as a perfect opportunity to expose what's happening ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ And you're absolutely right in every word you said 👍🏻 There comes a point when you have to say enough is enough to certain toxic behaviors that have been tolerated until now, but it's becoming clear that what started as a righteous campaign for safety is nothing more than absolute fanaticism and intolerance, where anything goes as long as you protect your own (and fragile) comfort. Instead of learning to ignore or practice indifference, selfishness and egocentrism are promoted under the guise of appealing to what is right. Then, if something bothers you, it must be wrong in everyone's eyes, and your point of view, which you must defend at all costs, overrides any rights of the other person who has supposedly offended you (in most cases) without even realizing it. And I'm not just talking about blankshipping. I'm not even focusing on the submas fandom. I'm already speaking in general terms, unfortunately.

Sending you this Ask JUST to bring some positivity to your inbox, because you deserve it ^_^ I always love seeing your artwork, so true to the canon yet has your own touch.

Thanks for sharing your work with us! 🩵🩵🩵

Thank you for always being so kind to me. It's hard to find artists as thoughtful as you, who are not only friendly but also take the time to leave comments or reply to them. I also appreciate your compliments about my art. I would love to have more free time to draw more, but unfortunately it seems that my drawings will only come in dribs and drabs. So, I appreciate your patience. And everyone's (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) You will see more submas art from me soon! 🧡🧡🧡

[aya-luri]

are you blankship? i saw you on a blocklist.

Well, I guess it was my turn to be harassed. Frankly, I don't care if I'm on one of those absurd lists (that make people paranoid more than they help) where anyone can be singled out without further ado and ostracized by the rest of the fandom, so I'm not going to respond to something like that because nobody has the right to address another person in that way and because I firmly believe that my response will not make me a better or worse person. If you think that just being in that blocklist is enough for you to believe that you shouldn't have dealings with me, you shouldn't be writing to me, nor enjoying my fanart for sure. This kind of attitude (not only yours, but that of all the people who act the same way as you) is causing tremendous harm, and it's unbelievable that you don't take a page from Ingo and Emmet's book, if you're so keen on taking justice into your own hands in their name. I mean, they would never condone that kind of toxic behavior among their passengers, so take a page from their book and grow up already. All of you. My first privated message on my Tumblr account, and it's not to praise my art, precisely, not even to talk about Ingo and Emmet. It doesn't exactly bode well for the positivity of the fandom. And what you're going to achieve is not a better and pure world that fits your volatile and subjective morality standars but scaring people away and making them stop drawing. And that's what you deserve, to stop enjoying submas fanart. That is, if you really do, considering that you seem more worried (even stressed) about the possibility that the artist behind the piece of art is a pro-shipping fan.

マジコスノボリとクダリ⭐️ I love Sygna Siblings Ingo and Emmet! They are the perfect magical girls! I started this work shortly after their new appearance in Pokémon Master Ex was announced, but I haven't been very quick to finish it. Still, I hope to be able to make some nice keychains with them this coming year!

[aya-luri]

Today marks three years since I decided to dedicate my account to submas fanart (so today is like my submas anniversary?) I'm don't post art very often but that doesn't mean I'm on hiatus. I'm still hyperfixated on Ingo and Emmet and I promise you that this slow artist will bring you more art soon! ALL ABOARD! 🚃 🚃

AZ will soon understand what Ingo went through. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 (￢‿￢ ) @pokemon For this post

▲ “Sir! Excuse me, sir! Come back here. We just want you to reconsider that nonsense.” ▽ “If you don't mind, we're going to fight you, defeat you, and prevent that idea from becoming a reality.”

I just have a feeling that when Ingo gets really mad, he grins like a maniac, while Emmet becomes more serious (not this time thought). In any case, I think Zach is going to be the first living person to see the twins this angry! 🚕💨 🚃🚃

「地下鉄のトンネルのように暗い洞窟を進むと、彼の中に忘れていた記憶が呼び覚ます。」 洞窟のシーン。来年はこれのアニメーションを作るかもしれません。

-- "Going through a cave as dark as a subway tunnel awakens forgotten memories in him." Cave scene. Maybe I'll make an animation of this next year. Thanks to @miu-rai-li for collaborating with this.

Submas fandom "differentiate between a big forehead and baldness" challenge Yes, he is obviously balding in PLA, my man is getting old (and honestly, he slays this look) But those refs of the original designs with brothers without hats? They have a normal fucking hairline, yes, it's high, yes, their foreheads are big, this is not fucking balding, go outside and try to look at someone who is not an anime boyo with a luscious mane

[aya-luri]

I guess this all comes from the leaked reference. It's not something new and I don't know what people are surprised about when it's even been seen in his official plush version that this is how he looks without his hat. As I said before, Ingo is not actually bald. Maybe it just gives the impression that he is because he has no eyebrows (which is the real issue here!). Other characters like Giacomo have a similar (or even wider) forehead but are not treated as bald by the fandom, simply because their hair volume hides that characteristic. But Ingo and Emmet have their heads shaved (probably for hygienic reasons since they have their heads covered by their characteristic conductor hats all day), and so they seem to suffer for hair loss or, at the best, having a very fine hair. Maybe it isn't even like that as their thick side triangle shaped bangs clearly shows the contrary. In Arceus Ingo actually does beging to have a recending line, but it doesn't reaches the point of making him bald in the strict sense of the word, since it doesn't even reach half of his head. Which reminds me that there is a post made by @parasolladyansy where she explains with great logic that this impression of baldness is simply a false sensation, an opinion which I completely share. Here is the mentioned post. Still, bald or not, it doesn't make the Subway Bosses any better or worse. Their actions alone speak for themselves of how awesome and great Ingo and Emmet are, and that's what we should value of them!👍🏻🚃

sept ingo day 28: red with Subway boss Ingo...?

"The Gear Station, along with the Battle Subway, is run by Subway Bosses Ingo and Emmet. With their strong work ethic and enthusiasm for their jobs, the station operates like a well-oiled machine. Although unruly customers are not uncommon, these situations are rare and are resolved quickly. we appreciate their work and effort in creating and maintaining this fun and safe space for us." - the Mayor of Nimbasa City.

the return of keen-eyed Ingo in tandem with god(?)! ingo. i haven't decide which dragon ingo is aligned with :"))) Reshiram? Zekrom? still thinking but i was swayed by this very well-worded post by @aya-luri talking about maybe the dragons that the twin aligned with is switched, give it a read if you have time :)))

also this genre of eye-strain colors art is my favorite XDDD i hope i did it right :"))) (and also he is pretending to check his Xtransceiver :"))) rn i'm thinking he's like shaking his fist or sth :"))) )

[aya-luri]

Wow! I was surprised by the mention and even much more to see this wonderful piece! The color contrast and pose are mind-blowing (I really love this mix of cool over warm colors). I like everything about this post! From the drawing itself to the description with the text from the Mayor of Nimbasa City, praising the Subway Bosses for their great performance in their jobs (I always feel proud of the twins, but reading this kind of stuff makes me feel even more so! 🤩).

It’s an honor that my post about Reshiram and Zekrom in relation to Ingo and Emmet could inspire you in some way to make such an amazing drawing like this one. And thank you so much for recommending people to read a post I wrote with such love and dedication. I hope you continue to bring us such impressive drawings like this one ✨️

This audio features the Subway Bosses Ingo and Emmet, and since I heard it I decided that I had to translate it in order to know what they were saying!

The tales starring our favorite Subway Bosses won the top spots! Even after years, we, Submas fans, continue to raise our voices and show that we still support Ingo and Emmet. I want to give a special thanks to @miu-rai-li for letting me know about this and for starting the signal boost campaign to encourage fans to vote, not only for Ingo and Emmet but for all Pokemon characters in general, since this event on Twitter was going quite unnoticed and Pokemon Masters Ex deserves a little more attention. We are now number one thanks to everyone's cooperation! Thank you!
