Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! Rosa’s holiday outfit from the Pokémon Masters game is adorable, so I just had to draw Maddie wearing it. She may be more reluctant to dress up than her mother, but rest assured she’s full of holiday cheer even if she’s not … Continue reading

are there any Sword/Shield characters that you headcacnon as being related to other characters? (y’know, like how you hc Volkner and Elesa being siblings)

I was going to just do this for Galar characters like the ask said, but then I realized I don’t have a list of all the related canon characters anywhere so I think I’ll include that as well, under a cut.

Galar

Kabu is Flannery’s uncle, which is something inspired by cute fanart of them together. Flannery’s father, Hoku, is Kabu’s identical twin brother and the two have a good relationship. Hoku’s very much a prankster though so whenever he visits his brother in Galar he has a habit of pretending to be him and doing weird/silly things, much to Kabu’s chagrin. Flannery couldn’t tell them apart until she was like 7.

Piers and Marnie are related to the Montfort family of Unova (which includes Grimsley and both sets of Unova protags). Their grandfather, Orpheus, was the twin brother of Calliope, Grimsley’s mother and the grandmother of the BW/BW2 protags. Meredith, Piers and Marnie’s mother, was the result of a fling Orpheus had, however, so this relationship doesn’t get discovered until after SwSh’s plot I don’t think. So this means that Piers and Marnie are the second cousins of Hilda, Hilbert, Nate, and Rosa, and the first cousins once removed of Grimsley, Diana (Hilda and Hilbert’s mom), and Harper (Nate & Rosa’s dad).

And now for a much briefer breakdown of the other relationships in this verse (in no particular order)!

  • Blaine is Red and Leaf’s grandfather. Consequently, Red and Leaf are also siblings.
  • Samuel Oak and Agatha are exes and had a son together, Thaddeus, who was born after they broke up. He was raised by Agatha and went on to become Morty’s father, meaning Morty is the half-cousin of Daisy and Green.
  • Yellow & Lance are first cousins. (They’re also first-cousins with Nobunaga because Conquest is canon to L&L history but that’s a story for another day.)
  • Bill is the cousin of the Kimono Girl sisters.
  • Falkner and Will are half brothers. Will is also Lucian’s half brother, as his and Falkner’s mother had an affair with Argenta, Lucian’s mother (who was single at the time).
  • Mars is Silver’s older sister and like him is Ariana and Giovanni’s kid.
  • Jasmine is May and Max’s first cousin (her mother and Norman are siblings.)
  • Archer and Proton are brothers.
  • Hun is Tory Lund’s older half-brother.
  • Vincent is Professor Elm’s son.
  • Pierce & Tobias are brothers.
  • Chase and Elaine are twins.
  • Brendan is Wattson’s grandson (and Prof Birch is Wattson’s son.)
  • Wally and Drew are first cousins.
  • Clair is Kris/Crystal’s older sister.
  • Winona and Wallace & Lisia are distant cousins.
  • Maylene is Mira’s older sister.
  • Zinnia is Sawyer’s first cousin once removed (aka Sawyer’s dad is her first cousin.)
  • Tucker & Butler are twins and the older brothers of Courtney.
  • Dawn is Looker’s daughter and Cyrus’s niece (Johanna is Cyrus’s older sister who ran away from home with her rookie Interpol bf.)
  • Barry & Bianca are cousins.
  • Verity and Cynthia are cousins.
  • Ursula is Reggie & Paul’s cousin as well as Lila’s daughter (Reggie & Paul’s mother was Lila’s late sister.)
  • Hilda & Hilbert are twins and the first cousins of Nate & Rosa who are also twins (it runs in the family). Grimsley is their uncle.
  • Wikstrom & Darach are brothers.
  • Volker and Elesa are siblings.
  • Brycen is Pryce’s son.
  • While this isn’t true in canon, Iris is Drayden’s blood-related granddaughter in L&L so I thought I’d mention it.
  • Shauntal is Cosette’s older sister and the two of them are the daughters of Fantina and Juan, who are now divorced.
  • Ghetsis has a whole ton of love children from various escapades so apart from N (who is his blood-related son in L&L) and Anthea & Concordia (adopted like in canon), he’s the father of Aaron, Sorrel, Curtis, and Sawyer (and Ginger but he’s a fankid.)
  • Calem is Alain’s younger brother and the two of them are Sycamore’s nephews.
  • Clay is Serena’s great uncle (aka Grace’s uncle).
  • While this is a canon relationship, since Emma gets semi-officially adopted by Looker, she and Dawn consider each other sisters.
  • Siebold is Korrina’s older brother.
  • Mairin is Ramos’s granddaughter.
  • Selene & Elio are twins.

Small Galar fankids change but I gave Victor/Bede another kid and flip-flopped their names so the kid formerly called Ambrose (who I drew) is now called Robin and the one called Ambrose now is his older brother who’s a new character.

Who do Bea and Gordie end up with?

Each other! I just don’t have kids for them. Mainly since I played Shield so didn’t get as attached to them, so less motivation to make fankids for them when I could focus developing the rest of the Galar crew. I think they’d make a cute couple though, so they’re definitely endgame.

Me: I need to study Me: [draws punkdragon kids instead] Chelsea (right) and Merrill (left) are Raihan/Piers twins and their baby sis Nasrin (middle) is Raihan/Leon (and by baby I mean she’s only like two years younger but the twins dunk on her constantly)

27, 36 and 49 for Hymnia?

27. Most despicable thing your OC has ever done?

Hymnia’s done a lot of bad things and been implicit in many crimes, so which one is the most despicable is open to interpretation. One that’s up there, however, is offering her detective services to the families and friends of victims that her own friends (or allies, as Hymnia has maybe one friend tops) have murdered or otherwise disposed of, knowing full well what happened and who the perpetrator is, then framing someone else as the suspect by planting evidence and the like. It’s a service she offers to her allies (or anyone else, really) for a fee, so in the end she gets paid twice for getting to “create her own murder mystery”. She doesn’t care at all that she’s lying to people and framing innocents, since at the end of the day her only priority is her own amusement and well-being.

36. Your OC’s favorite fashion era? (20’s, 70’s, etc)

She’ll wear whatever suits the situation best, but she can, she enjoys more 19th century and early 20th century (or late 35th, early 36th century in L&L years) inspired fashion (ranging from Victorian to 20′s.) Her parents tended to dress her in more vintage styles when she was younger and the look suits her detective persona, so she’s come to enjoy that style of fashion.

49. Your OC’s most prized possession?

In general, Hymnia places little value on material goods, as they’re usually as replaceable as anything else, but she’s rather attached to a pocket watch that used to belong to her great-grandmother, Diana. When Diana died in war, the watch was one of the possessions recovered from her body and was given to her fiance, Altus, who then gave it to Calliope, their daughter, as a wedding present (Calliope’s twin brother, Orpheus, got Diana’s pocketknife on his own wedding, but it went missing when he did). After Calliope passed away, the watch ended up in storage until Hymnia came across it while exploring the attic when she was young and, once she learned the history behind it, decided to keep it. She’s been compared to her grandmother and great-grandmother frequently by those who knew them, and while this does annoy her sometimes since they’re long gone, all the same she’s proud to be related to such accomplished women who made such a striking impact as a war hero and one of Unova’s first Elite Four. The watch is a reminder to her that she comes from greatness and that the world is her oyster. (She also attaches her Key Stone to it when she gets one.) It’s one of the only possessions she’d be genuinely upset about losing.

7, 11, 24, 36, 45, 50 (chosen randomly haha) for the Oak Boys!

7. What is your OC’s opinion on body modifications?

Roy: He finds the less extreme ones like tattoos and piercings cool on other people, but isn’t sure if he wants them himself. If he were to get some kind of body modification it would probably be a tattoo.

Sage: He doesn’t care what other people do to themselves but he doesn’t want any body modifications himself since things like needles make him nervous.

11. Is your OC a blanket hog?

Roy: Yes. If it’s cold he’ll sleep wrapped up like a burrito and if it’s hot he’ll kick all the blankets onto the floor, but either way he’s a blanket hog.

Sage: Not really. He’s a sound sleeper and doesn’t move around much.

24. Something you like that your OC would hate?

Roy: Cold weather.

Sage: Linguistics.

36. Your OC’s favorite fashion era? (20’s, 70’s, etc)

Roy: 90s preppy fashion – letter jackets, blazers, jumpers, etc. 

Sage: He’s fond of how traditional and Western style clothing were blended in the 20s and tries for a similar vibe in his own fashion.

45. What kind of self-esteem does your OC have?

Roy: Overwhelmingly confident. He’s comfortable with himself enough to shrug off mistakes and is very self-assured.

Sage: Mixed-bag. He’s usually confident in himself but setbacks tend to hurt his self-esteem quite a bit. He’s usually able to bounce back quickly enough though. 

50. What is your OC’s happy place?

Roy: Not a specific location, but anywhere cozy and cheerful where he can have a good time with his friends, be it around the campfire while traveling or getting dinner at a restaurant or just at his house.

Sage: The treehouse he built with his family in the woods behind their house in Pallet.
