Part 1
10 Facts About Sage Oak

Sage has a full profile already, so these facts will be more trivia that can’t be found there.

  1. Sage is the second son of Green Oak and Red Aoyama. He was born on March 8, 3620, three years after his older brother, Roy.
  2. Sage’s goal to become a Gym Leader is actually in direct response to Roy having the same goal. Sage thinks that Roy doesn’t have what it takes to be a successful Gym Leader, so he wants to become one as well and prove that he can do it better than his brother can.
  3. As such, he’s been bothering his Aunt Leaf about inheriting the Viridian Gym from her, though her response is usually “I’ll think about it when you’re older” or “If you think I’m retiring any time soon, think again, kid!”
  4. He’s childhood friends with both Scout and Alton, his traveling companions. He’s known Scout longer, since they’re both from Pallet and the same age, but he’s closer with Alton since the two have more in common.
  5. He and Alton both vent to each other about whatever problems they have with their parents. Neither are particularly estranged from them or anything, but they both feel pressure in their families to succeed in one area or another and are in similar positions being the youngest child (well, Alton has a younger half-sister, but he doesn’t see her as much since he’s raised mostly by Misty rather than Brock.)
  6. Sage has an appreciation for traditional Kantonian culture that’s reflected in his style of dress. While neither of his parents are particularly spiritual or traditional, both of their parents (Sage’s grandparents) were friends with one of Kanto’s major deities. Sage grew up hearing stories about historical eras, spirits, youkai, and the like from his Aunt Yellow and her father, as well as his own great-grandfather Blaine, and developed an interest in Kanto’s history and traditional culture. He loves festivals since to him, they’re somewhat a timeless tradition and depending on the festival, sometimes the Other World is more present than ever. 
  7. Sage’s dislike of urban legends is related to this. He hates how modern myths replace the old ones and will never spread an urban legend he hears, even chiding the one he heard it from for believing rumors like that. Similarly, Sage has a fascination with youkai ever since he found out his own great-great grandmother was a fox youkai. He’s cautious about poking his nose too far into such things, however, since he knows it can be dangerous even for mages like himself.
  8. When traveling in Johto, Sage’s group encounter Branwen, Corvin, and Celeste, all of whom spend a lot of time investigating the supernatural, urban legends, hauntings, and the like (much to Celeste’s chagrin.) Sage disapproves of their actions since he believes they’re just putting themselves and others in danger by messing with things they don’t understand. He’s rivals especially with Branwen, who’s flippant attitude reminds him unpleasantly of Roy. They battle pretty much every time they meet.
  9. Sage has a habit of being very defensive of his interests, especially if they’re more obscure. He tends to criticize more popular trends and media if he happens to enjoy something less popular and will get annoyed if anyone makes the inevitable hipster jokes about this. For example, Sage dislikes the Hoenn Rangers Coexistence Force show only because he likes the older and less popular Kanto Rangers Justice Heroes program, which only had two seasons and barely any merch or dvds exist any more. It’s less that he loves the latter show, and more that he’s bothered that the one he likes more is less popular. He has similar feelings about many other things, like foods, movies, and music.
  10. Sage is actually horrible at learning languages. He’s fluent in Japanese (his mother tongue),

    and Japanese Sign Language (what Red uses to primarily communicate) and semi-fluent in League Standard (a language intended for use by travelers that’s standardized across all regions that are part of the Pokémon League, it’s taught in schools and most people are only conversational in it unless they travel frequently.) He chose English as his language elective in school but is miserable at it. He generally relies on his more linguistically-inclined friends to translate if the need arises.

Do you have a list of all the orientations of the main adults and their partners?

· Leave a comment ·

In all honesty anon, it’s not really something I think about that much. I’ll put an orientation down on profiles but really that’s just whatever came to mind. I fully encourage people to headcanon whatever they want regarding sexual orientations of adults (and even fankids tbh.) I mean you can assume things based on who they end up with but really, I don’t think about orientations before deciding ships, I just go with what I think has interesting chemistry. Most people in the L&L universe are bi though.

Does Madie like madeleines?

· Leave a comment ·

I think she’d be neutral on them! Maddie’s not the hugest fan of sweets, but if they were served with something like coffee she’d probably enjoy them. If someone suggested she might like them since they match her name however… she’d get annoyed, since she hates people assuming her full name is Madeleine. So if it happened enough, she’d start hating the dessert on principle.

As a bonus, in Madeleine’s case … I’d say she likes them! She’d think liking a dessert which shares her name is childish, but at the same time wouldn’t be able to help enjoying the idea. So it would be a guilty pleasure sweet for her, even if her reasons for seeing madeleines as a guilty pleasure are a bit convoluted. Of course, she and her sisters are all named after desserts in the first place so…

Do you have any headcanons for Green/Red, Barry/Lucas, and Hugh/Nate?

· Leave a comment ·

Absolutely I do!

Green/Red

  • Green is the one who managed to get Red to come down from Mt. Silver by somehow beating him in a pokémon battle. Red was so stunned by his loss he just kind of followed Green back to civilization. This is the only time Green has ever beaten Red in a battle to this day.
  • Roy was already born when the couple visit Alola in the SuMo games and was about 10 or so months old (give or take.) And yes, they brought Roy with them! Leaf and Yellow (along with baby Amaryllis) also went to Alola and ended up having to babysit Roy a lot because of Green and Red’s frequent trips to the Battle Tree, whoops.
  • Red is technically unemployed, as he doesn’t really want to officially apply to be a professional pokémon trainer due to annoying bureaucracy. He still regularly seeks out strong people to battle with though, so his skills never go rusty and also because he thinks “stay at home dad” sounds way more boring than “Multiple Hall-of-Famer Professional Pokémon Trainer.”
  • They are a very sappy couple who like to show off how in love they are, though most of that’s Green being smug (”Look at me and my husband!”) while Red just goes along with it.
  • Green likes to think he’s a super cool dad who their sons will see as a role model but more often than not they go to Red for advice instead. Whenever this happens Green ends up pouting and needs to be comforted by his husband.

Barry/Lucas

  • A couple where people sometimes wonder how they got together due to how different they are. Definitely a very wholesome case of opposites attract.
  • Since Lucas was Rowan’s assistant, the two didn’t really meet until they were around 13 and didn’t interact much until after the events of DPPt. They met by chance at the Battle Frontier and when Lucas mentioned he wanted to improve his skills as a trainer Barry took him under his wing as a “Professional Battle Frontier Tour Guide.” Their romance blossomed fairly quickly, though Barry was pretty oblivious to his feelings while Lucas was realizing that subtle flirting wasn’t going to cut it in this case.
  • Dawn officiated their wedding and got trained to do so especially for her childhood best friend.
  • By the fankid era, Barry is a Frontier Brain like his father before him and Lucas has taken over from his mentor Rowan as Sinnoh’s regional professor, though he still has trouble getting used to being called Professor Hawthorn!
  • While they only planned on having one child, mainly due to how much of a handful Gavin was, they end up adopting Balthazar by chance due to some unexpected circumstances. Namely, Barry helps Dawn (who is Sinnoh Champion) take down a Cult of Giratina after they kidnap Dawn’s daughter, Tanith. While there, they find a boy who was raised in the cult to be a sacrifice and now has nowhere to go. The kid got attached to Barry  so one thing leads to another and he and Lucas end up with another son (Barry claims that Balthazar being blond and having a long name like him was a Sign that he was meant to be part of their family from the start.)

Nate/Hugh

  • Though Nate wasn’t the BW2 protag, he and Hugh were still childhood friends as he and Rosa are twins. They had quite a bit of romantic tension between them throughout middleschool, leading Rosa to urge them to try dating after getting fed up by hearing both her brother and best friend worry about the other’s feelings to her.
  • By the time the trio leave on their journey at 15, Nate and Hugh had been dating for about a year and a half.
  • Once it became clear that Team Plasma had returned, the two teamed up to fight them whenever they could, Nate mostly being worried about Hugh getting too angry.
  • Things reach a new level when, towards the end of their journey and when it’s looking like the final showdown with Plasma is approaching, Nate finds out he’s unexpectedly pregnant. While Nate himself is nervous due to his young age, he’s also excited and all the more motivated to defeat Plasma for the sake of his and Hugh’s child. Hugh, on the other hand, is incredibly nervous that Nate and the baby might get hurt now and ends up being rather overprotective of his boyfriend. This causes a bit of friction, but ultimately they’re able to work things out (with Rosa smoothing things over as usual whenever the two squabble.)
  • Glenn is born the summer after Ghetsis is finally defeated and Hugh and Nate stay in Aspertia for his first year or so, getting help from their parents and doing their best to raise him. At that, the two start looking for jobs so they can support their family, agreeing that whoever finds one first will take it, while the other will stay home to take care of Glenn. Hugh ends up getting unexpectedly scouted by Interpol, leading the family to move to Castelia, where they get married soon after.
  • Eventually, after Hugh gets promoted when Glenn is about 4, the family move to Opelucid to be closer to the League, which becomes their permanent home. When Glenn is about 6, they end up adopted their second child, Mindy, after her mother, Yancy, was looking for someone to adopt after she became unexpectedly pregnant. Glenn and Mindy are both handfuls but their parents love them (even if they hate each other lol)

DragonHeart Siblings

This is more a rough sketch of chibis than anything and none of these designs, especially outfits, are final, but I thought I’d post it here anyway! From left to right and in age order, Cypress, Acacia, Jasmine, Clementine, Laurel, and Poppy. Cypress is adopted and was initially raised by wild dragons for 7 years after being abandoned in the woods of northern Unova by his birth parents. He currently works for a wildlife conservation organization that specializes in rare pokémon, where his ability to fluently speak dragontongue is invaluable. Maia and Sieg both work for the same group. Acacia is a huge fan of rock music and currently works in Roxie’s gym, where she is also in a band with the Leader’s kids, Sunna and Lunen. She’s got a loud personality and loves wearing mismatched outfits in clashing colors. Jasmine and Clementine are identical twins who both love fashion. Jaz designs and sews outfits and Clem coordinates and models them. The two want to make it in the professional fashion world when they’re older. Jaz always wears cool colors and has a more preppy style, while Clem always wears warm colors and has a more cutesy style. Laurel and Poppy are the youngest and are fraternal twins. Despite their feminine names, they are both boys. They have completely opposite personalities, with Laurel being mischievous and outgoing, always telling some crazy new story, and Poppy being more withdrawn and shy, but also more impulsive and likely to pull crazy stunts out of nowhere. Despite this, they are very close and are rarely seen apart. They are too young to go on their journey, but they both want to be professional trainers, and maybe Gym Leaders or Elite Four one day. Between all of the siblings there’s a wide range of ages, with Cypress being 24 all the way down to the youngest twins being 14, but they all get along pretty well. They’re a rambunctious family (though after Cy and Acacia move out this tones down a bit) but all love each other a lot.

Tell me about what happens with my boy, Ethan! Or my actual best boy, Hilbert (or really just whichever male protag you feel like talking about more, I ain’t picky)?

Or I could do both!
The female protagonists are canon in my universe, so Ethan and Hilbert are closer to minor characters this time around.

Ethan is Lyra’s childhood friend and grew up in New Bark with her. His father works for the Elm Laboratory as a researcher, but Ethan’s always been more interested in following his grandparents’ work at the day care. He wasn’t super involved in the whole Team Rocket plot, though he did help take down a few grunts in Goldenrod during the radio takeover. He doesn’t really see himself as much of a trainer, preferring to raise and take care of pokémon rather than battle with them. He eventually starts working full time at the day care and visiting Goldenrod frequently, which is how he and Whitney started dating. The two eventually got married, but had difficulty conceiving a child, so they decided to adopt Carmen. She’s their only child, but the two of them have plenty of work on their hands running the Day Care together as Ethan took it over from his grandparents. Whitney ends up retiring from her Gym Leader job as well to work full time at the Day Care, which she enjoys more than running a Gym if she’s honest. Ethan is still best friends with Lyra and gets along pretty well with Silvio as well. Renato and Celeste consider him an uncle figure.

Hibert is Hilda’s younger twin brother in this universe. When Hilda went on her Gym Challenge journey, Hilbert decided to pursue a career in the acting industry instead, as a talent scout. He got an internship at a talent agency in Nimbasa and still works there full time today. In fact, he later helps his cousin Rosa kick start her own acting career. After all the Legendary Pokémon return to their human forms, Hilbert ends up hosting Albin (one of the Twin Heroes of Unovan Legend) at his apartment in Nimbasa until he could find a job and place to live. He’s worked with all sorts of people before and has great interpersonal skills, hence why he volunteered to host Albin. What he didn’t expect was the two of them to end up falling in love during this time. In the end, the two of them just clicked personality wise and found they had a lot of shared interests. Albin never did move out as he had started dating Hilbert, but he does find work at a local library, eventually getting a full time job as an archivist and historian, which he loves. Hilbert still lives in Nimbasa with his husband and their twins, Eban and Avoria. He’s close with his family, both Hilda and her husband and kids and his cousins Rosa and Nate and their families. Hilbert’s kind of the node of their network, the one who’s house everyone ends up at and who organizes a lot of family get togethers. He’s a very social guy so loves networking with everyone.

In honor of it being the Asagi triplet’s birthdays (either today or yesterday depending on your timezone), I’ll share some headcanons about their family!

Cress works at the Olivine Café. He loves the chance to get to cook for a living since it’s a legit passion of his, and working at a tavern in a port town lets him meet all sorts of interesting people and hear some good gossip. Most people know him as the ‘Gym Leader’s Husband’ rather than any other distinction which is just fine by him. He does get homesick for his brothers in far off Kalos once and a while, and tries to take regular trips to meet up with them (or they come to him).

Jasmine continues her work as Gym Leader and has grown a lot more confident over the years. Frustrated at being unable to help Amphy when he got sick, she decides to start studying pokémon medicine, visiting Cianwood frequently to talk with the herbalist there and staying up late taking online courses. Over time, she builds a reputation of being able to deal with the more unusual illnesses and injuries that pokémon may get. As they are her specialty, she’s especially known for treating even the most stubborn steel types.

Parsley was always a wild child, as opposed to his more subdued identical brother and conniving but anxious sister. In the dynamic of the three, Parsley was the doer in their plans. He never settles on one type he likes, choosing to raise a diverse team, but when he inherits the gym, he plans on sticking to steel types like his mother. He has this goal to swim to Cianwood City after Rosemary dared him that he couldn’t do it. He has yet to make all the way there without stopping on a shoal to catch his breath, but he dreams to one day. He’s probably the most athletic of the triplets and can often be seen zooming around Olivine on his bike doing errands for people or running late for some appointment or another.

Rosemary is the conspiracy fiend, the one who loves spooky stories and hidden agendas. Part of this comes from her naturally anxious and suspicious nature and part of it was born of curiosity about her father’s mysterious past. She collects pretty much anything relating to conspiracy theories – books, magazines, she even has a tsuchinoko plush toy which is one of her comfort items. She’s also the one to focus on training water types like her father. As a child, Rosemary loved standing at the docks and watching the ships come into port, or collecting seashells on the beach. This love of the sea translated to a love of water types. Rosemary is a trained sailor as well and has her own sailboat, a Sunfish named ‘Tangerine.’

Thyme is probably the quietest of the triplets and has a habit of fading into the background. Unlike his siblings, he has a distinct interest in exploring his dark mage heritage, leading him to train mainly ghost types. He finds that spirits are often lonely and confused and, due to his highly empathetic nature, determined that he wanted to find a way to fulfill their wishes. After spending some time with the Hasumi clan in Ecruteak City, Thyme decides to open a private practice as a Medium, helping people with their spiritual problems and helping ghosts at the same time. He later travels the world to meet more kinds of spirits and comes back from this journey with a veritable menagerie of spirits trailing behind him. The Asagi household is now perhaps one of the most haunted locations in Johto outside of the Hasumi compound.

As a family in general, they are fairly quiet for the most part. Cress and Jasmine are both pretty soft-spoken and even Parsley isn’t all that wild compared to most people, he just stands out among his family as being rambunctious. With Cress being a chef, there are frequently big family meals. Often Rosemary helps out as well. She’s quite the skilled cook herself, though her brothers are rather hopeless at it. There’s often a decent amount of good natured bickering between the triplets while their parents exchange a knowing smile over the heads of their bantering children. As a couple, Cress and Jasmine are the type to stay quite cheesily romantic even years into their marriage. They often go on dates, and Cress will buy flowers on his way home from work to surprise his wife with. They’re not super publicly affectionate, but everyone in Olivine knows how in love they are by the little things they do for each other. Their family seems to have a shared trait of being hopeless romantics and cheesy romcoms and soaps are a household staple on weekend ‘TV Nights’.
