Can I know more about the Hop/Gloria family and how they interact with the Victor/Bede family?

(Yes this ask is very very old but I’m doing my best to clear my ask box out!)

Hop and Gloria’s story follows pretty closely to the game’s plot, with the two being rivals and Hop often feeling unable to catch up to Gloria as a trainer. The two had a deeper rivalry than Hop had with Victor, which I think mainly stemmed from Gloria having a more obviously competitive personality, which then got Hop fired up too when he battled her, while Vic was (on the surface) more laid back and chill with battles so his and Hop’s rivalry was a bit less intense.

Of course, then the Champion Cup happened and Gloria defeated Hop only to be soundly demolished by Victor, who then went on to defeat Leon and become the new Galar Champion. This kind of blindsided the both of them, as Victor had kept just how seriously he was taking the League Challenge fairly secret. Prior to this however, Hop and Gloria were the ones who teamed up with the two Legendary Wolves to defeat Eternatus, and this experience changed things for Gloria, she felt something when fighting side-by-side with Zacian and wanted to explore that more, so when Hop announces he’s going to be working for Sonia as a researcher, Gloria decides to follow him. She had been ahead of him as a trainer, now she’ll be the one following him – they can leave the professional battling to Victor.

Romance followed pretty quickly for them afterwards and both were quite active in helping Bede when Ambrose was born (though not as much as Victor haha). All that babysitting led them to want to start a family of their own, so around when Victor and Bede announced they were going to be having a baby, Hop and Gloria started trying for one as well, wanting the cousins to be the same age. Things panned out nicely, with Robin born in November and Neil the following March. While Robin and Neil often played together growing up, their personalities never really meshed – Robin being quite shy while Neil was very outgoing. Neil was such a handful that he kept his parents busy from wanting any more kids for quite a bit, but seeing how large Victor and Bede’s family was becoming, they decided when Neil was five to have a second child, which ended up being Caelia. Tania followed quickly about a year and three months later, then finally they had their fourth and final child, Annie, three years after Tania.

Despite Victor and Gloria’s best efforts and dreams of their kids being best friends, none of the cousins are exceptionally close. Ambrose is quite a bit older than his cousins, so mostly sees them as (additional) younger siblings more than anything. Neil is close in age to Robin and Isidore but doesn’t really get along well with either of them, being a bit too pushy with Robin sometimes and then getting on Isidore’s bad side, the two often fighting. He does enjoy being a cool older cousin to the twins though, and will enable their pranks and stunts gleefully and even give them pointers (thus their parents don’t particularly like how close they are…). Caelia and Theo have a bit of a rivalry going on, where Theo often bossed Caelia around when they were little and now Caelia is determined to get back at her for it. Tania’s quite introverted, but unlike her older sister does get along pretty well with Theo (even if she does find her exhausting). Against all odds, Annie and Reynard are fairly good friends, and a lot of it is based on shared experiences of having so many older siblings with big personalities and feeling overshadowed by them sometimes. They like to go exploring together and other activities where it’s just the two of them being themselves. (Merlin is The Baby and too little to play with any of his cousins yet.)

Also since this is very long a quick breakdown of the Hopria fam under the cut!

Robert “Hop” Arjuna & Gloria Arjuna (née Ellington)
– The parents! Both are senior research assistants to Professor Sonia Magnolia, focusing on Pokémon Mythology like her. Hop focuses more on research in the lab, while Gloria prefers fieldwork. They live in Postwick (possibly in Hop’s family home?) and commute to the lab in Wedgehurst for work. They also regularly check in on Zacian and Zamazenta – the wolves also sometimes wandering to the village to visit their humans as well!

Neil Arjuna (Born March 20, 3024)
– The eldest and only son. He’s very outgoing and energetic and loves racing around the Wild Area on his Rotom Bike. He can often be reckless and has had plenty of accidents, though he always bounces back. He decides to take the Gym Challenge, traveling alongside his (paternal) cousin Charlie, but doesn’t really have any solid goals in mind about becoming Champion or anything. He just wants to have fun! His starter is a Bulbasaur who rides in his bike basket (and hasn’t evolved in order to remain able to fit in said bike basket).

Caelia Arjuna (Born June 21, 3030)
– The second child and oldest daughter. An extrovert like her brother, Caelia wants everyone to know who she is and what she’s about. Loudly. She adored tagging along with her parents on their fieldwork excursions, deciding to follow in their footsteps as a researcher. She’s a very animated fan of any kind of ruin and gushes about them to anyone who happens to be within earshot (and then yells at people who she doesn’t think appreciate them enough). Cae also has latched onto Edmond as a mentor during the time he spends studying abroad in Galar, finding his study of ancient Pokémon Art fascinating. Her starter is a Scorbunny (same as her father’s!).

Tania Arjuna (Born September 23, 3031)
– The third child and second daughter. Very introverted, unlike her siblings, preferring the company of books to people. Strategy books about pokémon battling specifically. Tania travels with her older sister, and people often assume that not only is the quiet and mature Tania the older sister (her being taller doesn’t help), they also presume she’s the researcher and Cae is the trainer, when in fact it’s the opposite. Tania has her eyes set on the prize – becoming Champion! Her starter is a Sobble (same as her mother’s!)

Anemone “Annie” Arjuna (Born December 21, 3034)
– The fourth child and youngest daughter. Quiet like Tania, she’s happy to play by herself and finds her older siblings often quite tiring. She’s very close with her father’s Dubwool and often goes on walks with him around the rolling Postwick fields. Annie enjoys drawing, especially nature scenes she sees on her walks, and also sometimes writes little poems about her favorite moments in nature. She doesn’t think of it as more than a hobby though, despite her parents encouraging her to sigh up for art and poetry programs and/or classes. Annie is still too young to go on a journey, so isn’t thinking too hard yet about what she wants to do with her life. Her (eventual) starter is a Snom.

I gave Bede/Victor another kid because I just felt like they need a big family. So there’s a baby son called Reynard who’s born around when Ambrose is setting out on his journey. So he’s just the cute baby for the most part during any plot significant events.

His starter, when he gets one, is a Nickit, obviously.

EDIT: Because 4 kids still didn’t feel like enough they got MORE. They’re going to be the biggest family it’s what they deserve. There’s now three more kids hahahaha. Edwin & Oswald are twins born about three years after Robin. And then Cordelia is adopted as a baby about two years after the twins are born. (And then Isidore is adopted another two years after that.)
There’s also probably an 8th baby born after Reynard but that’s post-Main Plot so not going to think about that yet.

Victor/Bede Mate Bonding

pkmnomegaverse:

Omegaverse nonsense ramblings but Bede both craves and fears bonding with Victor pretty early on into their relationship.  He plays it cool and is pretty tsun with Victor overall, but deep down, he’s very affected by how kind and attentive his sort-of boyfriend is. Bede craves affection, this doesn’t change even after he starts to work through some of his insecurities while living with Opal, so every bit of affection Victor shows him makes him melt, especially affection in the heat of the moment.

Galar Fankids

· Leave a comment ·

As of right now, my Galar fankids are fairly set in stone. I think I’ve got a good number of them and a good idea of who they are. They’re not on the family page yet since I need to come up with surnames for all of them, but as soon as I do that they’ll be posted. That said, I figured I should share what I have so far!

Gloria/Hop: They’ve got two kids, an older boy named Neil and a younger girl named Caelia. Amusingly, despite being the protagonists, their children have the least development. I know more about their relationships with other fankids than I do about their personalities. I’m sure I’ll know more about them eventually though, since these things take time.

Victor/Bede: Two boys, named Ambrose and Robin. Both were accidents and born before the two really properly started dating, Ambrose being born sooner after the game timeline ends (since dumb teens, but Victor was really committed to helping his friend out once Bede found out he was expecting even if the two weren’t dating at the time) and Robin about 5 years after. They grow closer as a result of having a kid though and probably end up marrying when Robin is a toddler or something, though I’m not sure yet. Ambrose was a sickly child but he grows up to be kind of really annoying and pretentious and dresses like a 18th century period romance hero. He’s rivals with Chelsea and Merrill (mentioned down below). Robin is a sensitive boy and a bit of a crybaby, but he’s also able to take care of himself and anyone who makes him cry is going to regret it. He’s only a year or so older than Neil and Bede and Hop wanted them to be rivals but the cousins are best friends instead. They travel together.

Marnie/Allister: My one rarepair/crackship so far. I just thought they’d get along and paired them moreso since I wanted to explore Allister rather than Marnie, who I would have been happy keeping single. They have a son named Damian who’s Very Goth (but like, refined Victorian goth). He starts out as a trainer but eventually realizes he’d rather be a coordinator. He’s rivals with Caelia and around the same age as her (so his parents take longer than other couples to get together.)

Milo: He’s a single dad. His daughter, Marigold, was originally actually a grandkid and I made a post about her a while back, but I’ve decided to scrap that angle. So she’s his bio daughter rather than adopted. Milo just has such dad energy I couldn’t not give him a kid, but him staying single was planned from very early on.

Nessa/Sonia: They’ve got a daughter named Susanna. She’s a scientist like her mother and great-grandmother, though she’s more interested in ecology rather than legends like Sonia is. She’s beautiful (of course) and has many admirers, but she’s got no time for any of that. Science is the only thing on her mind. So she’s got a bit of a reputation for being aloof as a result.

Raihan/Piers: Friends-with-benefits turned boyfriends. Their twins, Chelsea & Merrill (or Chell & Rill as they often go by), were accidents and are initially raised mostly by Piers, since he and Raihan weren’t living together at the time, but they visited Raihan and Leon a lot as well, coming to stay more permanently when they’re around 10 and Piers gets a big break as a musician, leading to him traveling more. They’re hellions, basically, and love to cause trouble and just shake things up. They’re also the oldest fankids for the region and were in the year after the game events.

Raihan/Leon: Raihan and Piers got together first, but Leon ended up fitting in nicely with their relationship (there was a bit of drama sorting things out at first but it all works out fine in the end and they’re all happy together.) He and Raihan live in Hammerlocke together and they’ve got a daughter named Nasrin who’s maybe a couple years younger than her half-siblings. She’s very much a celebrity trainer and probably like an Instagram model or something. Very concerned with her appearance and skills as a trainer. She wants to beat Champion Victor one day to “win back Leon’s honor”… or something. Chell & Rill tease her relentlessly and she’s very fed up with them and pretends they don’t exist which just spurs them on.
