Day 15: Two Rosa fankids, both alike in overpowering celebrity aura dignity…

(I rolled one of the last night, then promptly forgot which one overnight, so you get both of Rosa’s daughters instead!)

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

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)

Who’s your favorite family from each region?

This is a pretty difficult question since for generally my “favorite” family is the one I’m working the most on at any given time, so the answer would change. I can answer for who I’m enjoying working on the most at this point in time though.

Kanto: I haven’t really worked in depth on any Kanto families recently, but I’d say right now I’m feeling very fond of the NamelessShipping fam. I’ve been having a lot of fun with Roy and Sage’s dynamic in particular, as antagonistic siblings is always fun. I also like how they both have some of Green’s arrogance, since cocky characters are fun to work with.

Johto: Hands down the HonorShipping family just since they have so much drama. A very close second is Whitney, Ethan, and Lance’s family, since there’s a lot of fun dynamics going on there as well. I think the sheer outrageous soap-opera levels of drama in the former family are what make me like it more though, as well as how quirky all the kids are.

Hoenn: Probably a tie between TensionShipping and ContestQueenShipping at the moment. ContestQueen will always be my forever Hoenn OTP, so they’re going to be a favorite no matter what, but I’ve been having so much fun with Drew and Harley’s family (and their dynamics with Lisia and May’s family) that I feel like they deserve a shoutout as well.

Sinnoh: The BrokenShipping family is a forever favorite just since it’s one of my weirdest ships. It was basically an in-universe crackship to start out and then the more I thought about it the more I thought it would be great. They’re an unconventional family but one I love working on. Shout-out/runner up goes to the ComaShipping family though since how could I not love Paul and Ash and their goth babies.

Unova: I know this is kind of cheating since it’s like five families but… the Montfort family. All of them. I don’t know how it got so big but all of them are so much fun to work with and I’ve just put some of my most effort into worldbuilding Unova that they’re kind of my babies. Even if some are trash babies like Grimsley and Hymnia and Mindy. And while this isn’t set in stone yet… there’s a good chance the family’s going to be expanding once I incorporate Galar 😉

Kalos: PerfectWorldShipping. Hands down. I have… trouble with Kalos, mainly due to lack of inspiration, so I think it’s probably no wonder that the couple/family with a convoluted story and angst and drama is the one I like best. Florian’s one of my older fankids as well and while he’s changed a bit over the years he’s still one I’m very fond of. I really like thinking of him and his dads being soft together.

Alola: Another region I find myself having a bit more trouble with, but I’d say maybe SnowLilyShipping? Mainly just since they start out very typical but end up being very unconventional with their half-alien meme son, sort-of a zombie son, and then adorable baby daughter. Another fun one is the NineIronShipping fam (Guzma/Molayne/Kahili) just since it’s full of shenanigans and all three kids are gremlins.

And then I have some other regions, but those only have one-two families each so I’ll exclude them. Honestly I think it’s just become obvious that the families I tend to enjoy working with are the ones with more drama/unconventional elements. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy the more typical families – I do immensely! It’s just that when it comes down to picking favorites, I tend to go with the ones like that. Really, this AU is more of a personal/self-indulgent project than anything, which is why things get over the top or dark sometimes. I simply want to explore lots of different ideas I find interesting and use this world as a way to do so.

Family Updates

Since I’m indecisive as usual I realized I wasn’t really feeling the dynamic Hugh, Nate & Yancy had, especially after I added Glenn. Glenn and Mindy had a strong sibling dynamic and dynamic with Hugh and Nate, but I was having trouble with how Yancy and Glenn fit in. So, here’s the current situation. And hopefully the last since I keep changing this family around.

Hugh and Nate are married and Glenn is their biological son. Mindy is the biological daughter of Yancy and some random OC who doesn’t matter. Yancy didn’t feel able to become a mother at the point she became unexpectedly pregnant, but still wanted to have some part in her child’s life, so after some discussion, Hugh and Nate agree to adopt Yancy’s daughter. This way, Mindy could grow up knowing Yancy as a sort of aunt figure, while Yancy didn’t have to care for a child by herself when she wasn’t able to.

Elliot is now the adopted son of Aurea and Fennel, making him Verna’s little brother. This doesn’t affect his character and plotline much at all, since most of his significant interactions so far are with Blake, who’s his childhood friend. As Bianca works for Aurea, it stands to reason their children would grow up knowing each other.

That’s about it! I’ll be retagging/editing some old posts to reflect these changes (not everything of course) so thanks for standing by as I continually change major things like this.

since its lesbian visibility day, can we have some headcanons for the characters who identify as lesbian?

[This content is out of date and no longer canon (Mindy/Maddie is no longer canon)]

This is definitely not all the lesbian fankids but it is some who I know a good deal about and haven’t really discussed as much on the blog so I’ll share some hcs!

Mindy (Hugh/Yancy) – She’s your stereotypical ‘mean girl’ contest idol. Winning and being the best is her main focus and she’s very particular about her looks, making sure her hair and outfit is perfect. She likes to pretend she’s ‘above romance’ but this is not true because she is hopelessly in love with her childhood best friend and reluctant idol costar Maddie. Mindy is super tsundere about her crush which leads to Maddie not noticing it all despite having feelings herself. It’s such a silly drama-filled subplot but it suits these two perfectly. Later on, when Maddie really starts pursuing her dream of becoming Unova Champion, Mindy (who is her gf at this point) is her number one supporter and proudly proclaims herself to be the ‘future Champion’s future wife.’

Joan (Skyla/Elesa) – A hopeless romantic at heart, Joan tends to live in her own world. She’s a dreamer and lives life at her own pace, following the things that catch her eye. As a freelance journalist (she had trouble holding down a job when working directly for a publication), Joan is always chasing after a shiny new story… and picking up new crushes along the way. Her longest-running object of affection was Tipha, the bombshell baseball star. Joan would go to all of Tipha’s games she could attend and just… stare wistfully. It got to the point that her twin sister Jerrie had to intervene and tell her she was just going to end up breaking her own heart in the end. However, when Joan decides to investigate Castelia’s organized crime, she’s in for a surprise when she meets dangerously charming femme fatale Cicely. And well… let’s just say the feeling was mutual. A journalist and a professional criminal may not be the most conventional of couples but there’s certainly no love lost between Joan and Cicely!

Charlotte (Sawyer/Miette) – Charlotte is a Princess. But what she wants is to be a Queen. As one of the star up-and-coming Performers in Kalos, Charlotte often feels a lot of pressure to maintain a certain image, but at the same time, she loves dressing up fancy and being the center of attention. She’s the sort who can manage both well, which is why she ends up helping fellow Performer Isabeau with stress management. Isabeau can be uptight and hard on herself, so Charlotte does her best to help the other girl learn to be easier on herself and enjoy Performing as a passion rather than stress over it till it becomes a chore. The two are very similar in some ways, but very different in others, so they compliment each other well and the romance was a slow, gentle thing that just naturally progressed as they grew closer. It’s one of the most ‘90s shoujo-manga rose filled sparkly’ romances I have with the fankids so far!
