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.

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)

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.
