Some headcanons with Roose and his new wife just after they got married?

👀👀 👀

Soooooo ... I feel like a lot depends on whether she married him willingly or whether Roose pulled some bullshit scheming and tricked/threatened her into it. In the first scenario she still may not be entirely pleased, but she agreed to the arrangement. In the second ... maybe her family agreed but not her, maybe he went behind her back and she discovered it later, hmm.

Regardless, the Dreadfort servants have the shared chambers prepared ahead of time. That's the Northern way, and that's how it's going to be, regardless of her preferences - she'll still have her own drawing/dressing room and parlor, but part of Roose's possessiveness is he wants her close by. He also wants an heir as soon as possible, and this expedites this.

(Because yeah he's gonna start on that real quick)

On that note, her parlor and dressing room will quickly be arranged with things she brought from home. Depending on her tastes, it might be the nicest, least dreary part of the Dreadfort... Roose rarely enters unless he absolutely needs her for something.

Another new thing is Roose wanting to take his meals alongside his wife in their private dining area. It's a combination of wanting to exert his control by having her close to him, and ... actually wanting her close and wanting her to want to be close. They'd use the feast hall when there's guests so he can lowkey show off how willing she is to be with him (and just show her off in general, esp if she had dozens of suitors in the North).

There would already be a dozen or so dresses made for her, in combinations of pink, red and brown. If she stubbornly wears her House's colors all the time, he politely yet firmly tells her handmaid to dress her in Bolton colors next time. If she's the type of woman who prefers fine dresses, he makes sure her Bolton gowns are far lovelier and more expensive than whatever she came with.

Also, he'd probably find himself quietly observing her, whether it's while they're sharing a meal, while she's reading or enjoying a walk outside, sitting at her vanity while she applies makeup, etc. He already stared at her the few times they met before, but now he has plenty of time to really watch her mannerisms and behavior. No, Roose doesn't care how much this may unsettle her.

Oh, and depending if this is Show!Roose (and what year it is), Ramsay is immediately given a dangerous warning on "behaving" himself around his new stepmother. Book!Roose will still deliver the warning but iirc, Ramsay only recently came to the Dreadfort and may have arrived after the new wife, while Show!Ramsay is implied to have been there for a quite while.

Generally, Book!Roose is more willing to give his new wife space, with Show!Roose being closer at hand and more expressive. They're both quite possessive, though. That'll never go away entirely, but it'll lessen as more time goes on.

#im sorry hes awful look you know what youre getting into #kinda love the idea of walda bolton having this adorable pink sitting parlor lmao #getting all this cute furniture and perfume and dresses she could never have at the Twins #anyway listen she likes her creepy vampire husband and i love/hate him too so #keep the roose requests coming #still want to write more fanfic w him im just never pleased with my characterization 🤔#libra doesnt shut the fuck up #libra headcanons #roose bolton x reader

OK okay because I ship Lance, Steven, and Cynthia as a poly couple, I finally got talked into designing fankids for them from a friend... so hereeeee we are! Kinnan and Leda. Kinnan is the younger brother and son to Steven and Cynthia, psychic types are mostly his specialty with Pokemon like Espeon, Wyrdeer, and he has a dream to be an astronaut! Leda is the older sister and daughter to Lance and Cynthia, she’s trained with Gyarados in the Dragon Den but her favorite is the gift Archeops she evolved, Leda goes on to be a young gym leader in Sinnoh and ends up taking contests more seriously.

there are more kids but 👀 To be drawn eventually

About Leda

From birth to 5 1/2, Leda mostly lived in Sinnoh, vacationed in Hoenn. and did specific holidays in Johto such as Arcemas/ New Year. She moved by the time she was 6 to Johto where she attended school and rituals with her family until she was old enough to be a Pokemon trainer. Instead of having a formal journey, Leda applies to be a gym leader instead because she already trained under her parents and the dragon den. She was already stronger than the available candidates at the time for the first gym in Sinnoh since it became open when Byron retired and Roark moved.

Leda later actually travels at the same time as her little brother Kinnan when he first starts out to collect the Hoenn gym badges and challenge Steven. Since this was the last of her "break" before the Sinnoh league started up again, she thought it would be fun to tag along with him and she did try out contests a bit, Leda had fun enough to decide to pick them up a bit more in Sinnoh when she returned to her gym.

Leda would focus more on flying types. Steven gifted her a plume fossil to come watch their restoration process in Rustboro and she thought it was the coolest shit ever, so Archeops is her starter and best friend. However, Dracozolt was her own mistake because someone tricked her into taking the random fossil rock to Devon before she could isolate just the bird part of the fossil. It turns out the genetic reconstruction only had enough info cause of the embedded rock with the Dino part. Leda feels really badly for having recklessly brought Dracozolt to life but she loves him immensely and takes good care of him even if he struggles sometimes.

This list may update with new SV Pokemon coming but Leda’s Pokémon kinda loosely fit a dragon theme while focusing on flying types, that’s what her specialized training in the Dragons Den was about afterall. Leda's Togekiss, Gyarados, and Skarmory are eggs from her parents. Tropius would probably be caught in Hoenn but I'd like to leave it open now for a gen 9 potential, just for fun. For the main team. I might replace see about a Corviknight too, maybe Skarmory wants to go have a nest of their own and she lets it go.

Fantina ends up giving Leda advice about the contests weirdly because she was trying too hard to be like Lisia & Wallace (and maybe May/Dawn/Serena) instead of being like herself, and older Fantina at this point is like ‘oh hun, lets just have fun by ourselves.’ It feels out of the blue but Fantina is still a gym leader afterall, she may be a fancy lady but she does see the potential she's losing.

Maybe Leda ends up excelling in cool contests with Dracozolt which is the main surprise since she hadn't found something Dracozolt was thrilled with doing yet.

About Kinnan

The family moved to live in Johto for Leda's studies around the time Cynthia was pregnant with Kinnan. Kinnan had a bit more freedom than Leda at the time and got into some antics wandering off Mt. Silver. He's an energetic and super curious kid, ‘hey, if I get on top of Mt. Silver, then I can see space better!’ Well he didn't get nearly that far before Mom caught him but it became a series of trying to sneak out from the parents and go. An escape artist was born!

Kinnan chose to travel Hoenn when he became old enough because he actually wanted to beat Steven as his proof that he was ready to go to space. Like that was somehow proof? To his 10 year old brain lol... Anyway he ends up having a much harder time against Wallace than he expected (I think by this time Wallace should at LEAST be elite four, drake would retire) so Steven reassures him that he doesn't have to become Champion to prove anything. But he'd be very much happy to settle the bet out of the league too.

Kinnan didn't win against his dad but he felt better by the end of it and with the assurance that he had his parents blessing and that he didn’t have to be a Pokemon Trainer just because all of them were.

Before we move on, his main Pokemon is a Wyrdeer he caught during one of his escape acts in Johto and managed to evolve while helping his mother with some research! He also has a Gengar whom he loved to play tricks on his sisters with, and a Lucario & Espeon he hatched from Mom’s eggs at his aunt’s daycare work.

So, Kinnan joined the space program in Mossdeep! He wanted Grandpa to just "put his name in" but all of the adults agree that wouldn't be a good idea and think Kinnan should go through what anyone would while trying to get on a rocket to space. He had to enter the academy.

Kinnan mostly had adult rivals as well as a handful of teens, but his specific rival would be the ancestor to Irida! She has her shit together without a big name like "the champion's son". Even more intimidating, she's the only other "kid" on the program.

The Space Training program is proving resourcefulness, strength- both physical and Pokemon battle (as they know Deoxys can attack if accidentally provoked!), math, etc. They also have to follow orders which Kinnan initially struggles with as he is a bit delinquent at first with authority as a means of testing boundaries like he was with his own parents. Kinnan eventually comes across cells and captures 10% Zygarde through his research as part of his work study.

Kinnan comes to appreciate the structure and respect the history, maybe right in time for crazier shit that could happen in a story way like an Ultra Wormhole disrupts his first space voyage and he has to do everything manually and driving the Nihilego or whatever back into the vortex. TBD I suppose!

Last quick notes on the family...

Kinnan LOVES cold weather but he chose Hoenn as a challenge to himself since space is about extremes, he loves the snow and loves visiting Sinnoh on vacation or any occasion really.

All of the kids call Cynthia ‘Mom’ of course, Steven is ‘Dad’ and Lance is ‘Oton’ since that is the Kansai (Johto) dialect way of referring to a father anyhow.

Cynthia’s sister works for and ends up taking over the daycare in Solaceon

Since I’m sure some might wonder as it wasn’t well written in my comic so far but the leagues have “seasons” and they all run differently. The Indigo league runs starting in late fall to early spring, it’s a pretty short but intense league. Hoenn begins in early spring while Sinnoh begins in late spring, with Hoenn lasting until September and Sinnoh ending in October. The family luckily enjoys travel and usually will spend some of the summer between Hoenn and Sinnoh, even when they’re living mostly full time in Johto.

Our middle child is named Ryumi! There will be a total of 2 more after Kinnan but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there lol
