Hello, all! Call me fivefootoh! You can find me under fivefootoh on most social media platforms (just so no one else takes the name), but I am a lurker at heart and only really intend to post things here on Tumblr. My main blog is @fivefootoh.
This is the submas (Subway Masters) sideblog! Anything else I draw/write related to pokemon will be posted here, too.
I draw things! Find my stuff under the tag #myart.
I also do write! Here's my AO3 profile and the tag is #mywriting.
Specific tags:
"The downside of..." series: Some comics/sketches centered around the "downside" of having a certain type of pokemon.
Attrition, Retention AU: A fic I'm writing centered around the twins as the BW2 protags, but they grew up as Sneasler's wardens before they were thrown into Unova.
It’s Been a Long, Long Time: Ingo and Emmet have been around for a while. The fact that they drink blood is just a small footnote in the larger scheme of things (aka, my attempt to make the most chill vampire au)
I like drawing fanfic fanart so do beware of some spoilers there

From Unova to Sinnoh, Ingo is brought up to speed on the modern day, with help from family and friends. Some progress is more slow-going than others, but Emmet hopes that both of them will eventually come to terms with what happened during their separation.
Next part is up! This one takes place just after Long Night Home! We kick this section off with some Chandelure pov :)

Amidst my daily grind of road rebuilding and housing development in Pokopia I was thinking about the lore of this game and had a fun idea that I wanted to write out. Not sure that I will do anything with this but I do love finding the scraps of info around the world about what the heck happened, so this is in that sort of style.
======
“I am required to preface here that as part of my disclosure agreement I, [REDACTED], acknowledge that everything within this lab and within my office are to be recorded for monitoring purposes, and that any information procured and developed within the [REDACTED] Foundation is not to be shared outside of anyone else within this same agreement.
“Right, bureaucratic drudgery aside, I am looking forward to this opportunity! It’s been some time since I’ve had a chance to grease my proverbial wheels without threat of moral conundrums. They may call me a heartless psychopath until their faces turn blue, but they can’t deny that I’m a prime commodity in the scientific world. People like me are needed to take the risks that others blanch at, in order for progress to happen.
“My latest assignment? To help figure out one of the many solutions for the infamous apocalypse that is currently knocking at our planet’s doorstep. The Pokemon Conservation Project is already well underway to protect the pokemon that we cannot take into space, there is just the matter of what happens to them without us, and what that project’s ‘failsafe’ entails.
“There is a group here at the foundation that are rightfully concerned about the well-being of tamed pokemon being suddenly released out into the wild. Pokemon are intelligent creatures, but there is doubt that a good portion of them won’t be able to survive without their usual human support.
“The foundation is considering fusion as an option, which is why I’m here, given my ah… relevant experience in the matter, however slight. It’s not too far of a stretch for this lot to come up with though, given what I’ve learned about their own genetic experimentation in the past. Fortunately, for our purposes, human-pokemon fusion is not an unheard of phenomenon.
“Rotom, come here. I need you to get me everything you can find on Bill’s Cell Separation System. We also need to reach out to Interpol again and pull everything related to their UB research, particularly about Nihilego. They might have something this place doesn't already have in our systems. It would probably do us well to consider as many avenues as possible and dig into their Null project. Hell, pull up my old notes on the DNA Splicers while you’re at it. We’ll cast a wide net to start.
“I’ll need to ring up the Director and let them know we need to start looking for viable candidates for this project. Dragons know that I have no social skills to speak of to pull in people. I need to start on R&D as soon as possible. Let higher management handle the elbow rubbing aspect of this.”
— Audio log of [NAME REDACTED], Head of Project Transform, [TIME STAMP REDACTED]
I know I’m late on the Pokopia bandwagon but I need to gush about this game because I’m loving it sm. Light spoilers below
I did nothing to stop hearing about story spoilers but through all that I did not realize just how chill this game is?? Literally spending all my play time fixing buildings and roads and cleaning up. I’ve only unlocked the second area and I haven’t even gone through the whole map yet.
As someone who’s yet to play SV and doesn’t have a ton of knowledge about the new Paldea pokemon I’m so excited to have a chance to interact with them in some fashion xD
Also I am obsessed with Grubbin’s lil jaunty walk I followed the little guy around town just to watch lmao
I still love all of Ingo’s first part in chapter 14 of AR. It’s a sweet, quiet moment that definitely marks a turning point for the both of them at that point in the fic. I also love little nods to Ingo’s implicit trust of his brother in light of his own faulty memory (ie because Emmet is sleeping in he knows without a doubt that wherever they are in that moment is a safe space).
——
Emmet tapped on his shoulder, and he hummed back to let him know he had his attention. Ingo could feel him writing something against his arm with a finger.
Love you.
Ingo gave him a squeeze as he unsuccessfully held back a yawn. “And I love you. More than anything. Get some rest.”

⚡️ wild card: dealer’s choice of quote from a completed work
I love writing Ingo’s garchomp. She is a silly, sassy girl who has some entitlement in her xD I’m glad I ended up posting “The Ingo and the Mushroom Cakes” because it still makes me smile. This quote in particular is a favorite of mine:
——
(The Emmet didn’t worry her at all. He smelled most strongly of electricity, which had no effect on her.)
——
🔥 wild card: dealer’s choice of quote from a wip
Gonna put this one under the cut cuz it’s a longer one. It’s going to be a while before I can post this, but I love love love me some platonic intimacy in friendship. For context, Elesa had roped Ingo into a little spa day.
——
Elesa smiled back and gently removed his headband, mussing up his hair so it laid flat again. Ingo remained where he was, not quite looking at her as she continued to play with his hair.
“Emmet wasn’t kidding when he said you’d get sleepy.” She laughed softly.
“Mm, can’t help it.” He closed his eyes, content. “I’m comfortable.”
“You barely stirred while I was working on your face. You’re really okay with me getting into your space like this?”
Ingo nodded without hesitation. “I trust you.”
Elesa paused at how readily he answered, and gave his shoulder a small squeeze. “Well, I’ll make sure not to betray that trust.” She promised.
She gently scratched her nails along his scalp—Dragons, she was very glad they were following her hair care advice—slowly making her way from the left side of his head to the right. She slowed even more the closer she got to the mess of scars on the side of his head, and she could tell that Ingo noticed her hesitation. He opened his eyes and stared up at her, waiting to see what she’d do.
She flattened out her hand so the pads of her fingers were against his head, and not her nails. Carefully, she traced along the knotted lines, a little more than surprised at just how far they spread out. She didn’t pay too much attention when she had been trimming his hair, just enough to make sure she wasn’t cutting too much away to reveal them.
Shit, he’d only been ten when it happened, getting his head cracked open like that. The thought made her stomach churn. It was honestly a miracle that he survived.
“Does it hurt at all?” She asked.
Ingo put his hand on the side of his head when she pulled her own back. He thought about the question for a moment.
“It doesn’t really hurt, per se, but it is sensitive.” He said. “What you were doing was fine, though.”
She played with his bangs a little and gradually moved to his sideburns, teasing them so they stuck out. After the cut and wash, his hair was fluffier than she’d ever seen it. It made him look years younger.
“You really are a rufflet.” She snickered.
“You too, huh?” He chuckled softly. His eyes were already sliding close again. Ridiculous.
“Hey, no falling asleep.” She patted his shoulder. “Come on. Help me clean up and then we can both relax.”
I still love how "Victory Road Blues" turned out. I actually reread it recently and I'm still pretty proud of it! This has to be my favorite angst quote from that fic:
---
With a soft sniffle, he peeked across the table at his brother. Ingo looked dead to the world, staring down blankly at nothing and completely zoned out. He was probably getting as much sleep as Emmet was, which tended to be worse in Ingo’s case.
Why had his brother tried so hard to get through Victory Road before him? At the end of the day Emmet hadn’t planned on going on ahead without him there. He wanted to be able to rub it in Ingo’s face that not only had he arrived first, but that he was better when it came to battling.
There was no way he’d go any further alone. He couldn’t do that to Ingo.
He didn’t want to do that to himself.
----
🫐 a line from a published work that you’re proud of
Another fic I'm still pretty proud of is "Towering Aspirations" (I'm also really proud of the title I came up with xD) and it doesn't get as much attention as other fics. I love putting sibling antics into fics so I liked writing this little part:
----
Emmet exhaled sharply through his nose before he shook his head. “No, I am not explaining this to you without Ingo. You will see for yourself soon enough!”
He pointed right in her face to emphasize his point, his finger barely an inch from her nose.
…No, she would not let the intrusive thoughts win and lick it. She was seventeen, for Reshiram’s sake.

This made me realize that I really need to write more silly lmao but here’s something from the vampire au! The gang takes a trip to Sinnoh sometime after Ingo gets back, and this is just after they arrive.
=======
Ingo just stares at Elesa and Skyla as he accepts the other kit. “Has the Underground become public knowledge since its discovery?” He asks.
“Yeah, and these kits have granted easier passage down there in the, uh… last couple decades, I think?” Elesa guesses, shrugging. “It’ll help you guys blend in a little better while you’re exploring.”
Emmet turns the hard hat in his hands and clicks his tongue in disapproval. “This is ugly.”
Ingo gives his brother an elbow to the side. “Emmet, I know we’ve had to wear these before on multiple construction projects.”
“I am Emmet. I’ve never met a hard hat I liked.”
“Just say thank you for the thoughtful gift.”
“Thank you for reminding me how much I hate this hat!”
Ingo quickly snatches Emmet’s hat from his head and replaces it with his own hard hat. Emmet stares at him for a moment before he flips on the headlamp, beaming the light right into Ingo’s eyes. Ingo hisses and flinches, giving his brother a hard shove that makes him stumble back.
Emmet can’t stop laughing, which eventually makes Ingo start chuckling. Emmet’s happy to hear it.

Going through my sketchbook again and found this prequel sketch to the comic I posted last year. Gaeric and Palina are barely drawn in but they're there lmao. Not sure if I'll ever finish this but I think it's still funny. I love situations where the wardens are in cahoots.
Bonus: the messy-as-hell sketch of the original comic under the cut!
Decided to treat myself to a little something to get me away from the computer for a while and put together a book nook over the weekend! I love building/puzzle-type projects but they do suck me in until they're completely finished xD
