Happy Egg Day! After months of saying I’d draw fankids in their parents’ seasonal PokéMas outfits, I finally followed through! So, here’s Ione dressed in May’s adorable bunny outfit, which I love since it’s totally Io’s style. (Her pose is from one of Lisia’s.) I … Continue reading

Ingo/Emmet/Concordia 😏

who is more likely to get injured doing small tasks – Emmet, most likely. He can get a bit overenthusiastic, and when he’s on a roll he can not realize if he’s hurt himself in that enthusiasm until Ingo or Concordia notices and makes him sit down so they can get out the first aid kit.
who worries more about the other – This is a hard one since all of them have their own worries over each other in different ways? Concordia worries that she can’t always keep up with or be there for her partners since they’re so different (both in personality and species), the brothers worry about each other like they’ve always done, but also worry about Concordia, but then in different ways. Emmet worries about providing for her and making her happy even though she’s a human and they’re not. Ingo worries that being with her will throw off the dynamic he and Emmet have had for centuries… at the same time, they’re all pretty good at communicating, so these worries usually don’t fester.
who is more afraid about the other leaving them – I’m going to answer this with a curveball and say it’s their son Janus who worries about his parents breaking up. As in, while Concordia loves her partners, she knows that their relationship might not last and is happy to enjoy it as it happens, while the brothers know full well that their relationship with Concordia is going to be transient in the long run (as these things always are for them and humans). But Janus has only known his parents being together, so he dreads the day when that might no longer be the case and as a result can be clingy about wanting all four of them to spend time together.
who is more likely to leave (for any reason) – Concordia. Emmet and Ingo are ride or die for each other and always have been, while she’s the newcomer to a long-established dynamic. Half the reason she even moved in with them rather than keeping things casual was because of Janus, so if things ever start going south, she’s the one who’d step back without much fuss, taking things with grace as she always does. (This doesn’t mean the twins won’t want to try to convince her to stay though! They definitely have both come to care about her a lot even if such feelings were maybe unexpected.)
who is more likely to drunkenly confess – None of them? I can see Emmet and Concordia both being affectionate drunks though (Emmet more clingy and Concordia just wanting to cuddle and fall asleep). Ingo has to carry them both home haha. 
who is more likely to push the other away (for any reason) – Ingo can be standoffish when he’s in one of his moods. Especially earlier on with Concordia, who he had reservations about. She and Emmet were originally just seeing each other, but Ingo is a package deal with Emmet so he got involved and let’s just say he wasn’t sure getting so close with a human like her was a good idea. Would just invite trouble.
who picks fights more often – None of them really fight much? But again, Ingo I suppose. Can be surly sometimes, but his fights are almost always with Emmet and are the usual arguments they’ve always had that get resolved quickly. Concordia is scary whenever she gets involved with a fight so the twins have both learned not to test her patience. Or both will be sleeping on the couch. 
who usually apologizes first – They’re a weird trio where they don’t really apologize with words but with actions? Make it up after a fight by doing something nice for the other(s). So it’s hard to tell who’s usually the first since it’s often mutual.
who is more likely to withhold their feelings for the other – Ingo and Concordia for sure. The slowburn branch of the relationship, while Emmet was very quick to grow infatuated with Concordia. She on the other hand was wary of growing attached to anyone after her upbringing, especially people so… different as the twins, while Ingo had similar reluctance. So obvs Emmet just decided to play matchmaker between the two so all three could be happy! Somehow it worked. He’s just talented like that. 
who is more likely to lash out at the other – None of them, really. 
who gets more jealous – Ingo, sometimes, but he refuses to acknowledge these feelings. It can be hard to share when you’ve been with someone exclusively for so long.
who is more likely to support the other in a relationship with someone else “as long as they’re happy”: – The twins for Concordia. Both of them know they’re probably not the most ideal boyfriends for someone more normal like Concordia, so if she found a nice human person to settle down with… that’s fine! Even better! (Just as long as they can still see Janus though, of course. That boy is spoiled and doted on by all his parents.)

I’ve been dead for a bit sorry whoops. Just been distracted with other projects, but dropping with some name changes.

Nerissa Tamamushi (Erika/Valerie) –> Youko Tamamushi (Written as 妖子,  妖 is part of the word for both yokai and yosei so has that kind of “fairy, mysterious” vibe for a goth girl like her rather than the vague sort of sea nymph meaning of Nerissa that just doesn’t suit her.)

Urania Citrano (Mars) –> Nerina Citrano (I finally caved and felt bad for giving her the name after the planet with all the rude puns. So she’s Commander Neptune now. Nerina has a similar look and also has a water-related meaning so works well for her. Good in contrast to the “fiery, red, fierce” Mars as well.)

Alma Drakonova (Cynthia/Diantha) –> Cressida Drakonova (Just good vibes on this one honestly. The name just feels very Cynthia for me, probably because it resembles Cresselia and Cynthia reminds me of Cresselia and also it means “golden” and Cynthia (and her eldest daughter) are blonde… good vibes. It sounds really nice with Églantine as well.)

The last one is just a nickname change but Trevor and Emma’s oldest daughter, Elinor, now goes by Nora rather than Elly.

Finally… a new fankid! I felt like Trip and Virgil would want another kid, after thinking about it, so I looked up Thunderbirds characters again and decided on Scott for the name of Penelope’s younger brother. He’s in a traveling duo with Hallie and the two are like Jr. Detectives, very cute and wholesome compared to Penelope and Hymnia’s much darker take on “young detectives”.

sydchan: Assorted (kinda protag) fankids! Starting from the top and going clockwise around the circle, kiddos are… @fullmoonisle‘s IkariShipping Isabelle @pkmnnovareset‘s PokeEgoShipping Ashley my NobelPrideShipping son, Casimir @pkmn-thenextchapter‘s PearlShipping daughter, Aurora @pkmn-their-journey-continues‘s IkariShipping daughter, Lara @pokemon-legends-and-legacies ComaShipping daughter, Emery @pkmngame-fankids‘s BoutiqueShipping daughter, Kierra @mysticdelphox97‘s IkariShipping … Continue reading

Happy Valentine’s Day! Florian loves showing Sophia around his home city and nothing makes the date more special than some snow. (Yes Florian is actually that tall have you seen Lysandre.) (Pose is from the FE:SoV soundtrack cover.)

Can you explain more about the OC Grandparents?

Sure! The OC grandparents listed are all parents of canon characters who don’t have names or extended appearances in the games or anime (this would include characters such as Johanna, Grace, Meyer, etc) In some cases my depiction of the grandparents might differ a bit from canon, such as Red and Leaf’s mother having red hair instead of brown, but in general, the game protags’ mothers fit in here! 

I will continue to update the directory as I develop more characters but currently, the identities of the grandparents listed in that section are as follows:

  • Aiden Aoyama & Scarlett Yuukoku – Red & Leaf’s parents. Aiden was a Gym Trainer at the Viridian Gym, but goes missing and is presumed deceased 5 years before Red goes on his journey, while Scarlett, is the mother seen in the RBGY and FRLG games. (She also happens to be Blaine’s daughter and only child.)
  • Charlie & Flora Oak – Daisy, Gary & Green’s parents. Both were researchers and passed away 7 years before Gary’s journey and 9 years before Green’s journey.
  • Isabel Suzuki & Angelo Papavero – Lyra’s parents. Isabel is the mother seen in the HGSS games, while Angelo is a total OC who is a childhood friend and right hand to Giovanni. Isabel broke up with him when she found out that he was involved with a criminal organization and Lyra doesn’t know about him until after the events of HGSS.
  • Zack Teruya – Ethan’s father and a single dad. A mysterious foreigner who was taken in by the Daycare Couple when they found him and baby Ethan lost and in need of somewhere to stay. He and his son later take the couple’s surname and move to Newbark, though remain close with them, thus Ethan views the Daycare Couple as his grandparents even if they aren’t blood-related.
  • Violet Touma – Reggie & Paul’s mother. She was an archeologist like her husband but passed away in a freak accident while on-site when Paul was a baby. She also happened to be the older sister of Lila, Johanna’s old rival, who is Ursula’s mother, making Ursula the cousin of Reggie and Paul (something she and Paul both like to ignore.)
  • Diana Montfort – Hilda & Hilbert’s mother. Nothing much to say here, she’s pretty much just the canon BW mom. Of note is that she’s descended from nobility and inherited a manor house/château (most of which is now a museum) that she and her children live in a section of and which she helps maintain, rather than the regular house the BW protag lives in in canon.
  • Harper Montfort & Tia Nocita – Nate & Rosa’s parents. Harper is the twin brother of Diana and while he and Tia aren’t married, they are in a steady relationship. Harper travels a lot and isn’t home very often. He’s had a lot of jobs over the years, including as a Sinnoh Frontier Brain where he became good buddies with Palmer. (He also has some bad habits, especially in his youth, like gambling away the family inheritance, but settled down once his children were born.) Tia is the canon BW2 mom and like in canon, used to be a Pokémon Center nurse.
  • Robert Aubert – Serena’s father. He’s a very normal businessman of Kalosian birth who worked for Clay’s mining company in an office/managerial position. He’s not super familiar with the life of a pokémon trainer but supports his daughter wholeheartedly when she sets out on her journey. During XY, he was finishing up business in Unova before moving in with his wife and daughter in Kalos and was very confused and surprised to find out his daughter had helped save the region when he finally made it.
  • Zéphyrine Sycamore – Alain & Calem’s mother. The older sister of Professor Sycamore, she passed away when Alain was a child and Calem a toddler and her boyfriend couldn’t handle the loss and abandoned his children not long after, leading the boys to be raised by their grandparents and uncle.
  • Orion & Clarissa Kagami – Selene & Elio’s father and stepmother. Orion was a single father who married Clarissa, the canon SuMo mom, when his twins were about 5 or so. He passed away not long before the start of SuMo, and the family’s move to Alola was a way for them to get a fresh start after his mysterious death. (This backstory is still in development, but my idea was for Selene & Elio’s family situation to be similar to Gladion & Lillie’s, with a disappeared dad.)
  • Nichola & Auberon Ellington – Victor & Gloria’s parents. In what is now a running theme, Auberon went missing 5 or so years before the SwSh plot, though he actually is alive and is found/comes back after the plot so this one has a happy ending!! Nichola is the canon SwSh mum. Oh, and also Auberon is a fairy prince and one of the two heroes of legend, though his kids don’t find this out until the postgame when Victor meets his old friend “Uncle Bunny” Calyrex.
