Fankidtober Day 27: Lewis von Aue

The middle of the (Siebold/Cress)/Jasmine kids, though he's raised mainly by Siebold, with his other two parents living in Johto and visiting on holidays. He's probably my most Volo-adjacent fankid personality-wise who isn't related to the guy himself, though thankfully he has the benefit of a supportive family and modern therapy to help him through the roughest patches. That said, he's still struggling a lot to figure out his place in the world and what he wants to do and be, so is a bit of a jack of all trades as a result. He's recently begun considering music as a long-term career though, especially performing in unusual places (circuses, festivals, etc). He doesn't battle much, so most people assume his Key Stone is for the partner he's usually seen with - Lopunny - but it's actually for his actual starter, Banette, who he still has a bit of a complex over (doesn't fit the image he wants to portray etc etc).

okay but a goofy youtuber au where the brothers finally convince Siebold to try things from the cheesecake factory over the course of a few months or something.

Cress, "welcome back to another video in the series we're calling, 'Subjecting My Kalosian Chef Boyfriend To The Cheesecake Factory". As a reminder, he also owns two Michelin Star restaurants."

Siebold, "Don't remind people of that-- they'll come revoke our stars if they find out I'm eating this."

the best compliment they can usually get out of Siebold is, "It's not offensive."

but when they get to any of the asian inspired dishes, he takes a bite and just sits back and is silent for a long time. "...I am a Kalosian chef. I am trained in Kalosian cuisine-- but! I know at least a little about Kanto and Johto foods and this...this is offensive to every Kantonian Chef on the planet-- my teachers would be mortified to know what you all have done to their foods--" and then he just goes off on a long-winded tangent that they just edit to cut in at random times with a timestamp of how long the rant has gone on for. (not the first or the last time it happens)

the very last video in the series once the menu is completed or they're all just collectively done with the cheesecake factory, they're sitting down more interview style, Cress asking, "So, Siebold, tell me: What did you think of the Cheesecake Factory?"

Siebold, "I think that when we get married, you're moving to Kalos with me."

Cress laughs. "Is that a proposal?"

"No-- I just refuse to ever be in such close proximity to a Cheesecake Factory ever again in my fucking life so I'm setting that stipulation now."

Cress, "Taking anything back to Kalos with you?"

Siebold laughs, "I was going to say my sanity, but I think I lost that by the fourth or fifth cheesecake."

was thinking about cress/siebold again and thinking about the culture shock siebold must experience every time he comes to unova to visit with cress. i bet siebold fucking hates the cheesecake factory

The Striaton Brothers and their spouses.  Or the closest thing they have to a spouse in Cress’ case.

Chili/Burgundy - Despite being the most impulsive brother, Chili is the most true to himself and the most honest, which benefits him immensely in his relationship with Burgundy.  Things may move a bit fast, but he also doesn’t jerk Burgundy around (not that she would let him) the way his brother’s tend to do with their love interests. He’s also the only one who gets to the point where Burgundy’s importance to him is on par with how important his brothers are.  If pressed on who to prioritize, he wouldn't be able to choose.

Cilan/Clemont - The affair couple.  Their relationship is slower to develop since the two are just friends initially, but the attraction between them is there long before either act on it.  Similar to Cress, Cilan’s stats were a bit tricky, since he has the tendency to lie about his true self.  He’s spent so long as a member of the Shadow Triad, that it’s hard for him to separate himself from that aspect of his life, which complicates things with Clemont.  With time, they make things work and end up with a strong relationship despite how things started. Although I forever toy with the idea of things ending badly for them because of how their relationship began. 

Cress/Siebold - There’s multiple guys I could do with Cress and I honestly considered doing the others for comparison’s sake.  It was difficult to fill out some of the points for Cress since he lies so often, even more than CIlan.  He gives the appearance of being care free but is actually very serious.  The slow-burn/love-at-first-sight meter was also tricky for him.  It’s very much “lust-at-first-sight” upon meeting Siebold, but it takes a long time before he truly comes to love Siebold. I’m talking fankid era long time.  And while that 60% may look low, that number was hard fought for. Siebold sticking around through Cress’ bullshit and Cress slowly growing as a person and getting his romantic relationships in order.   

Made using this template.

Happy Halloween!

Tori and I found some of our old exchanges from the original Pokeani RP and gosh it brings back so many fond memories...and in turn I’ve definitely been thinking a lot about these two today (Candycornshipping and Waterbutlershipping as well). I miss them. 💖

[pkmngame-fankids]

I see you've added Cress/Siebold to the family section! 👀 Any possible headcanons for them yet? Or any possible kids? If they're still too new, any headcanons for Lance/Lorelei?

Yep, they’ve got three kids of their own! Antoine, Basil, and Cinnamon! 

Cress and Siebold had actually met once before Clemont and Cilan’s wedding (when they hooked up). Cress travelled across the world after the events of Black/White when his and his brothers’ names were beginning to get dragged in the mud, and one of his frequent stops was Kalos. He found Siebold’s restaurant by complete accident and immediately knew that he had found his new favourite restaurant. After eating there a few times, he finally managed to ask if he could talk to the chef and, though the waiter denied his request, he was able to send his compliments to the chef. 

It took a few tries, but eventually Cress was able to meet Siebold and, after complimenting his food, he asked Siebold what inspired him to cook such good meals. And Siebold just said something similar to what he says in the games (going on a tangent to call it an art form, which he’s not wrong about), but Cress isn’t satisfied with that answer and tells him that he’ll be back sometime later.

Then they met again at Clemont and Cilan’s wedding and accidentally hooked up. The morning after, they exchanged numbers and agreed to talk about the night at a later stage. And they do, about a week later, and agree on trying to be friends before taking their relationship any further.  

About six months later they actually do start dating and at about that point, Cress begins working with Cilan at his restaurant so Cress and Siebold also become rivals, in a sense! They eventually do get married and adopt their kids shortly after getting married!

I’m really intrigued by what I’ve seen of your fankids and always am left wanting to hear more about them!  A lot of them have really intriguing appearances, and I often find myself imagining what kind of character they might be based off that! Coral caught my eye, both because of her cute hairstyle, as well as being the kid of such a unique ship.

Thank you so much for drawing Coral. I love everything about this picture so much from her expression, to the way you drew her hair and even the part of the outfit you gave her, Thank you so much again :D !!!!

I like the think that all of the LGBTQIA+ characters in the Pokémon World would be friends. Mostly because I headcanon regions like Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos to be close minded, Unova worst of all. Phoebe and Siebold, being Elite Four members, man the helm of an interregion wide quest to make the Leagues more accepting of the LGBTQIA+ community. Sycamore, Lucas and Brendan help encourage young trainers to say something when they notice others being homophobic/transphobic. Candice and Zoey launch a campaign called the "Gay Festival," which is basically a Grand Festival to celebrate homosexuality in the sport since it's a predominantly gay career as it's more accepting. Sabrina, tending to be more to herself, opens her gym up to give psychic readings to those who are afraid to come out and wish for some guidance. She's helped save countless lives by predicting violent reactions, especially in the transcommunity. Champions like Diantha and Cynthia support the movements wholeheartedly, and encourage their Gym Leaders and Elite Four members to do the same. The movements usher in an era of acceptance which opens the closet doors for so many people, including Flint and Volkner. Johto starts having the first Pride Parades, while Kanto begins researching safer surgery methods for the transcommunity since such research hardly existed before. Sinnoh becomes the first region to legalise gay marriage, with Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Kalos following behind quickly. Unova is the slowest to change, despite Alder and eventually Iris supporting the idea. It's only after a hate crime against the Griffith brothers that the public's views start to change. Slowly but surely, Unova joins the other regions in legalising gay marriage. There are still close minded people, but overall the Pokémon world becomes a safe haven for those who used to be different from the social norm. I like to believe the changes happened about 5+ years after the initial campaigns, with Unova taking 20* years to change. *even after the attempt on Cress' life, the public was still slow to change.

Watercress

A belated birthday present to the wonderful togapibyakuya. Happy birthday!

Siebold woke up with a dire need for company that morning. Truthfully, he had felt this need for weeks, but he had stubbornly ignored it, and he had conveniently forgotten about the number scrawled on a slip of paper carefully stored away in the drawer to his desk. 

No longer being able to overlook his social necessities--but still too determined to give into his desires--he called Diantha and invited her to enjoy a personal lunch with him, one that would of course be prepared by himself. The Champion of Kalos deserved nothing less than the quality tastes he could produce.

Unfortunately, she, who had known him for many years by then, had a way of seeing through his ruses. And it did not take her long to figure out it was truly not her company he wanted.

They exchanged pleasantries when she arrived, outfitted in a neutral gray dress that hugged her slender figure, and he was quick to politely seat her at the small table-for-two he had set up for them.

He laid before her the first dish, an appetizer: a simple melon and almond salad, mixed with a couple tablespoons of fresh lime juice, a teaspoon of  minced ginger root, some white sugar, among other flavors. Diantha was quick to identify one as soon as she took her first bite.

"Is this Watercress in the salad?" Surprise was patterned across her face, but Siebold remained unfazed by her inquiry.

"Indeed." He nodded, facing the opposite direction as he poured her a drink. "It adds a piquant taste, a splash of spiced flavor to an otherwise sweet dish."

Diantha paused, considering this response. Her mouth soon twitched into a smile as she teased, "You miss him, don't you?"

Siebold blinked before turning a stern eye to her.

"I miss no one," he said plainly.

"Is that so?" Diantha wry smile widened as she stuck her fork into her salad, bringing it to her red-painted lips. "I don't believe you. I can taste your longing."

Happy Fankid Day!

There’s so many wonderful Pokemon fankids out there, and seeing other people’s fankids always inspires me to work harder on my own. So to show my appreciation, I thought I’d draw some of the fankids of creators I admire.  It was really hard to narrow this down, so this is only scratching the surface of all the great fankids out there.
