Quick tips for writing found family vibes
☽ character A* saying “ugh you’re so annoying” while giving B* their last piece of food without hesitation
☽ one of them keeps a tally of who saved whose life. it’s always mostly a joke. mostly.
☽ someone quietly patching up another’s wounds and neither of them talks about it
☽ a big fight. like, yelling, rage, “fine then LEAVE”—but they don’t leave. they sleep five feet apart. still grumpy. still ride or die.
☽ A* carrying B* on their back and B* being like “put me down I’m fine” while actively bleeding out
☽ weird inside jokes that no one else gets. like everyone around them is like “is this a code???” no. it’s just dumb.
☽ one of them has a Bad Day and the others just know. they don’t talk about it, they just pull them into a couch pile and put on a movie
☽ dumb arguments like “you cannot name the dog Knife” followed immediately by “...fine. but I get to name the next one”
☽ someone saying “I don’t need help” and getting helped anyway
☽ they threaten to kill each other like every other hour, but the second someone else threatens one of them? suddenly it’s murder o’clock.
☽ found family member B* never had a birthday party before and now they get one every year and it’s a disaster and they love it
☽ car singalongs. chaotic energy. someone takes the harmony too seriously. someone else is off-key on purpose. someone films it. blackmail for later.
☽ someone says “no one’s ever done that for me before” and the other characters all go “????” because it was a tiny thing
☽ shared chores, shared grief, shared joy, shared toothbrush (gross), shared everything.
☽ someone forgets they’re allowed to ask for help now. someone else reminds them.
☽ someone new joins the group and asks “so who’s in charge?” and everyone points at someone different. or they just laugh. because no one is. or they all are.
