The thought of Lawson meeting Leopold Rochester will always be funny to me----you have a kind old man who is genuinely happy to receive a guest

and then you have a 24/7 indignant guy who is probably tweaking inside bc he's currently facing someone related to the family he's beefing with

[astra-galaxie]

Ok so this is the first time Im asking you and it's okay if you can't answer I just want to know if Arthur and bernadine have a child after the events of motp how would the Rochester's family would react? This question is really not getting out on my head

I seen a au that all of them alive and have great life except some of them never change

But anyway thank you if you're gonna answer this^^

Welcome to your first ask on my blog! Thank you for sending it to me!🥰

Personally, I like to think Arthur and Bernadine had a child or children post-MotP. Even if they might be on the “older side” for having children, it's not impossible, and I think they would make good parents. Maybe a little overbearing, but they would love their kid(s) so much!

As for your question about how the other Rochesters would react, we’ll pretend these answers occur in an AU where they all lived long enough to meet the kid(s)!

Horatio Rochester: I don’t think he would care much. He wouldn't go out of his way to interact with the kid(s), but he would acknowledge their existence. Since Arthur is the Chief of The Flying Squad, he would tolerate Bernadine’s choice of husband even if Arthur isn’t as high class as the Rochesters. Likewise, he would consider the kid(s) lesser than other Rochesters because of their father’s background but would still see value in their existence.

(Let’s be real, do we honestly think Horatio cares about his family if they aren’t “useful” to him? I doubt future generations are exempt from this…)

Leopold Rochester: Leopold reminds me of parents/grandparents who considered all their children/grandchildren’s friends their own. So, he would absolutely adore Bernadine and Arthur’s kid(s)! He would babysit, include the kid(s) in family activities, give them the best gifts, and always make time for them.

Patricia Rochester: While Patricia’s mind may be far from what it used to be, she would still love the kid(s) in her own slightly strange way. I think of it like when dementia patients are given baby dolls and instantly remember how to care for them, helping their moods improve. I know Patricia doesn't have dementia, but for goodness' sake, let this woman have some happiness! She deserves it!

And while the kid(s) might not see her often or fully understand what happened to Patrcia’s mind until they are older, they would have fun visiting their great-aunt who gives them little gifts she makes or finds and tells the funniest stories! Even if they don't always make sense…

Malcolm Rochester: He would be similar to Horatio but not as extreme. While he wouldn’t be a doting uncle, he still sends the kid(s) birthday presents (usually money because he has no clue what kids like) and talks to them in public. But he wouldn't visit them for family dinners or things like that since he’s so focused on his political career. The kid(s) would see their Uncle Malcolm in the newspaper more often than they would see him in person.

Veronica Rochester: She’d be in a similar category to Malcolm but not as horrible. She’d still be distant from the kid(s), but they would see her more often than their uncle. I don’t see her as overly maternal, especially not towards kids who aren't her own, so she probably wouldn't acknowledge them beyond saying hello. She doesn't strike me as the overly affectionate type!

Clarissa Rochester: Since we never met Clarissa before her death, this might not be a perfect interpretation of her character. I feel she would be a middle ground between her relatives: she wouldn't be as distant as Horatio and Malcolm since we know she desires to be a mother through adoption despite her father’s disapproval, but I don’t know if she would be on the same level as Leopold since she’s still a busy businesswoman. But I think she would still adore Bernadine and Arthru’s kid(s), be a loving aunt figure for them, and host playdates for them with her kid (if she was able to adapt to this AU).

Rockley Rochester: Surprisingly, caring for and entertaining children comes somewhat naturally to Rockley. He’s no expert like his father, but kids don’t run away screaming after seeing him. When it comes to Bernadine and Arthur’s kid(s), Rockley will enjoy being around his first-cousin(s)-once-removed, them visiting his factory and giving them tours of the place while letting them test his newest chocolates and candies. He’d probably be a favourite relative of the kid(s) since he always has sweets on him specifically for them to enjoy.

(I hope I got the right type of cousin. I'm horrible at remembering how many-times-removed-cousins are by generations!😅)

Larry Rochester: Would want nothing to do with the kid(s), especially when their infant(s)/toddler(s). Larry hates kids and does everything he can to avoid being around them. It doesn't matter if their family. If they're a crying, snot-nosed kid, you can rest assured Larry will NOT be around them! Nor will you EVER catch him changing a soiled diaper!

Archie Rochester: In the presence of the rest of his family, Archie would keep his distance from his cousin(s). But when certain relatives weren't around, he would be more carefree and play with them. He loves his Aunt Bernadine, and her kid(s) would follow suit, even if Archie is awkward around children… However, in time, he’d learn how to act around his cousin(s) and let himself have fun without worrying about others judging him for being “immature.”

Some might be more accurate than others (I’m no Rochester expert), but I think my answers are pretty true to character!

Thank you for the ask! I hope you enjoyed my answers!😊

Inspired by @asharkapologist 's headcanons for Leopold and Minerva, so I decided to make a moodboard for the lovely couple :))

Hi guys!! I made an RP account for Leopold Rochester (@thefatherofconcordianinnovation), and another will follow soon! Until then, have fun with Leopold, and feel free to interact with the blog! This endeavor has heavily inspired by those from the Napoleonic RP scene, just to state where I got the idea from.

The ask box is always open, but please keep in mind that are certain anons or asks that I won't entertain, as stated in the introductory post already. Have fun!!

Remember those toy knights that the player manages to find during A Family Affair? While we have to take Horatio's words with a grain of salt (how true are those mf's words, we'll never know, as bro does not have a shred of empathy in his body), about what he said that Leopold was indeed the one to keep the toys, I do wholeheartedly believe that it was indeed Leopold who kept the knights.

Horatio has no reason to keep such a momento, and only Leopold could have seen the knights as a reminder of times where he used to play with his brother, their rivalry only reaching to that of boys playing a game.

Horatio on the other hand, saw the knights in a darker sense, for it was always about driving the point of his sword towards his opponent.

I think this is a great symbol, because Horatio literally STABS his brother in the end.
