STATION RALLY FOR RAINN
About the Project
Station Rally for RAINN is a Submas-themed merch fundraiser for the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, or RAINN for short.
Both digital and physical items will be available for sale, and all proceeds will be donated the end of the project.
We chose Ingo and Emmet for this project for a few reasons.
• We, the mods, are big Submas fans.
• Fandom often makes victims feel unsafe and unheard, handling sensitive subjects disrespectfully and not holding perpetrators accountable when victims come forward.
• Twins in particular are often the target of real-life fetishization and abuse, and pop culture plays a large role in normalizing and perpetuating it.
• Pokémon is one of the most popular franchises in the world, with Ingo and Emmet being some of the more popular characters.
We have the opportunity to make a big impact!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Please take a moment to review this page to make sure your question hasn't already been addressed.
Is this a fanzine?
Nope, this is a merch event! Both digital downloadables and physical items will be made available.
What merch items will you have?
This is not a complete list, but the current plan includes digital items such as profile pictures, wallpapers, and emotes, and physical items such as stickers, keychains, and pins.
Will this event contain NSFW?
No, all items will be SFW and all resources offered are purely educational and assistive. There will also be no ship content.
Where will items be made available?
We will have an Etsy store with international shipping.
Will contributors be paid?
To ensure that as much money goes to RAINN as possible, no, but contributors will receive their merch for free as compensation for their work.
What are the contributor guidelines?
These will be added as their own page when applications are open.
How will you ensure financial integrity?
There will be a contract to prevent misuse of funds, and proof of donation will be posted at the end of the event. Way too many events have fallen apart due to lack of safeguards.

Resources
Help is available if you or a friend or loved one need it!
NOMORE linked below provides helplines for victims of sexual and/or domestic assault, including RAINN, not just in America but around the world.
You'll also find other educational resources. These may be uncomfortable reads—or even triggering if you're not in the right headspace—but we encourage you to try. The only way to reduce stigma for survivors is to talk about it.
| Link | Description |
|---|---|
| NOMORE Global Directory | A website compiling hotlines and other resources, sorted by region and country. |
| What is grooming? | An explanation of what grooming is, how it works, and what the different kinds of grooming look like. |
| Boundaries and consent | A guide to what consent really is, and how to establish and respect it. |
| What "counts" as sexual violence? | A page that links to explanations and further breakdowns of the different forms sexual violence takes, including sexual assault, rape, CSAM, and incest. |
Guidelines
Below you'll find our guidelines for applying as an artist or pinch hitter, as well as general information about participation.
Please keep these in mind before and during the process of filling out your application.
We encourage you to apply even if you think you won't be accepted.
Artists do not need to pay to participate. Application and participation are both free.
Artists will not be paid, but will be sent a free bundle of all items as compensation for their work.
This only applies to artists, not pinch hitters who were not called upon to be artists.
Pinch hitters are backup artists who will be promoted to artists in the event an initial artist cannot finish their piece for any reason, taking their place.
If chosen to be an artist, they often work on short notice with tight deadlines.
There will be a Discord server for both pinch hitters and artists to socialize, share WIPs, and recieve updates.
Social participation is not required, but presence in the server is.
Art requirements like canvas size and DPI will be provided when you are accepted and matched to the item you'll be designing.
In your application, you will be asked to provide a contact email (for application results, Discord invites, and uncompressed submission files), your social media accounts, and examples of your artwork.
We are looking for uncompressed digital art or clean, high-resolution scans of traditional art.
Any art style is okay.
Any follower count is okay.
You do not need to be an active participant in the fandom, you just need to be able and willing to draw the twins.
