So, I got Tomodachi Life and have been obsessed with it. I've been using two of my different accounts on my switch to be able to have more than one island. First is for myself, my gf, and a large assortment of my favorite characters. I can share pictures of that one later. But the second one is all Pokemon characters, mainly focusing on the train twins, my little headcanons for ships and families, and just adding in all my favorite characters from Pokemon.

So, Ingo and Emmet became fast friends, Johanna developed a crush on Ingo (I have them set as "irl" partners), Dawn is chilling there as well, plus Piers, Marnie, Elesa, and Skyla so far. Emmet & Piers and Elesa & Skyla are also set as "irl" partners. This is important to know cuz Emmet pretty quickly gets a crush on Piers and decides to ask for my help with the confession.

I'm all excited, anticipating Piers to say yes, then someone else stops them!

Ingo comes in to stop his brother from getting with the love of his life! And so I'm sitting here thinking, oh, Piers will choose Emmet for sure, cuz they were at least friends while he and Ingo barely knew each other!

Piers fucking chose Ingo! Breaking poor Emmet's heart! They asked if I thought they'd make a good couple, to which I said no, and they went their separate ways.

That still left poor Emmet all depressed! I luckily gave him snacks and stuff, and then dragged his asshole brother over to cheer him up cuz they were somehow still friends after all that.

This luckily cheered Emmet up, and they went on with their lives. So, with Emmet now happy again and still feeling some hope for his crush on Piers, I dragged him over so they could chat. But then a cutscene started playing.

Piers started going on and on about some story about a kettle, and Emmet got bored, losing interest in his romance with Piers. They're still friends at least, but none of this is going along with the canon in my head! I thought playing virtual dolls would be fun but now I'm just trying to smash these two idiots together like, fall back in love already!

In other news, Ingo and Johanna are great friends, and she still has a crush on him, and Elesa and Skyla are great friends too! Dawn and Marnie are getting along with everyone and just kinda chilling.

Anyway, that's what's going on in my little soap opera here. We'll see how this all resolves I guess!

what's the twins' relationship with Skyla?

they don't really know each other

they are know of each other, and have met a few times, but aren't friends

they met through Elesa being their mutual friend

(runwayshipping version) they were introduced to her as Elesa's girlfriend

they have a rivalry bc of the trains vs planes thing

they have a rivalry bc they just naturally get on each others' nerves

ingo gets along with her better than emmet

emmet gets along with her better than ingo

some combination of the above (elaborate!)

none of these/other/life is like an aeroplane (comments/tags)

Submas November Day 3: Nimbasa Trio

Read here or on AO3!

Back in time to college this time around! Not necessarily childhood, since they're 19 here, but whoo boy this had me thinking about the friends I've grown distant with. To all my college friends that I still have here on Tumblr, if you see this, I miss you. <3

Chapter Summary: 'Don't leave me behind,' they each think to themselves as they split for the night. Chapter Word Count: 825

Foreman’s Plaza was the main meeting place for students in Nimbasa Technical University, with a large grassy area flanked by school buildings, and a beautiful fountain in the center. Between the twin’s class schedule and Elesa’s packed work schedule working at the Nimbasa Gym and the fashion agency, they don’t have a lot of chances to meet up. Which is how three young adults find themselves laying flat on their backs in the grass, staring up at the darkening dusk sky. 

Elesa breathes in deep and lets out a heavy sigh. “I can’t believe you two waited two weeks to tell me you’re going to Galar this semester.” She looks up and over at Ingo, who was staring up at the sky to avoid her gaze, then across to Emmet, who was looking at her until she looked at him, and quickly looked away. “What are you two even doing over there?”

“We’ll be working on restoring an old steam locomotive,” Ingo says softly, his apparent embarrassment in only now telling her restraining his usual volume. “They’re also going to go over how to run a system such as the Galarian Railway, and help to draft plans on a lines restructure. It’s a… mix between our engineering courses and community management courses.”

“It’s a fun opportunity,” Emmet chimes in, barely audible. There’s a pause from both of them before he continues. “I’m sorry for not telling you.”

Elesa sighs and looks up into the sky as what few stars that can shine through the city lights begin to appear. “It’s just… We’re a set, y’know? We’re the three that caused havoc in the Nimbasa school system, and we’ve stayed a set now after school as adults.”

“Well, both of those are technically not true,” Emmet says before Ingo can reach over and smack his forehead to shut him up. 

“What he means!” Ingo almost shouts before Elesa can object to Emmet, “What he means is that you caused havoc and we’re still in school.” Seeing Elesa’s glare at the two of them, though, causes Ingo to shrink a little and fall back onto his back on the grass. “But we do get the sentiment. We are a trio of Nimbasa kids who don’t want to separate.”

“You do have Skyla,” Emmet chimes in. “You two have been talking to each other for awhile now. Why not use this as a chance?” Emmet leans his head back to give Elesa a pointed stare as his words sink in. 

And as they sink in, Elesa’s face goes a Cherri Berry red, and she quickly turns to look away from the boys. “It’s complicated. She’s out of my league first off, and second off, she’s really busy with her piloting program, so we really don’t have the time to hang out anymore and you know how it is we haven’t been able to hang out recently either and I actually need to get going soon because I have to open the gym in the morning and-.” Elesa is pulled out of her spiral when both twins roll from their spots to smoosh her between them. Squeezed between the two, Elesa squirms for a moment before giggling, getting the other two laughing alongside her. 

After a moment, as the laughter dies down, Elesa wiggles her arms under the twins and pulls them into a half-hug each. “You two aren’t getting rid of me. You’ll be back by the holidays, yeah?”

“Of course,” Emmet says with a nod, leaning into the hug. 

“We wouldn’t dare break our little Nimbasa trio,” Ingo says, giving her a half-hug back.

“Good.”

——

“That was a lot,” Emmet says as he lays flat on his back in the brother’s dorm, staring at the ceiling light. 

“It was,” Ingo says as he goes and shuts the light off to save Emmet’s eyes, leaving the room lit only by the desk lamp and the bathroom light. “But it was nice. To reaffirm our little group.” Emmet makes a noise of agreement.

Ingo finishes stirring the microwave macaroni and cheese that he had heated up for their dinner, and sits himself down next to Emmet. Taking two forks, one for his plastic bowl and one for Emmet’s, he begins to eat and feed Emmet so he doesn’t have to sit up. Between bites, he says, “I’m proud of you for that, by the way. I know you worry about affection.” Emmet makes a small noise while chewing. “But I think Elesa appreciated that. Even if it was in a… bit of a different way than we wish we could show her we care.”

“She has Skyla for that,” Emmet mumbles through his macaroni before swallowing. “We can just be a trio. That’s enough.”

Ingo sighs, and nods. “Yeah. That’s enough.” After they both finished eating, the two release their partners from their Pokeballs, and engage in the time-honored tradition of laying on the floor and feeling like garbage.

I had this idea earlier with Skyla and Elesa in a little mermaid au but then I started imagining the twins as crabs singing under the sea

I keep getting tiktoks with an audio of some guy going "legalize nuclear bombs" and it makes me think of skyla

[ID: two drawings of unova trainers. in the first, skyla goes "we should legalize nuclear bombs lol." as emmet and ingo stare at her, confused, with question marks above their heads. elesa is staring at her with a loving expression with hearts above her head. in the second drawing, skyla waves and smiles with "#girl" next to her. /end ID]
