you said you were having sibling feels lately so consider this a free ticket to gush abt. anything related to that. i am Looking Respectfully.
I'm having a full-on breakdown about DC comics characters 24/7 for the past week I've imprinted very hard on one specific character and I'm trying to build my understanding off of fanfics and online friends and this has sent me into an absolute SPIRAL thinking about sibling dynamics
so how's about uh,,, dya remember my post the other day about MCR's Surrender the Night? yeah this song is killing me bc like. it just feels like the push and pull of dysfunctional but still determinedly loving sibling relationships, which are always the best. just like, trying to pull rank but,,, in a loving way (@brown-little-robin idk if this makes sense but for some reason whenever I hear this song it makes me think of Jason and Dick????)
also as Gracie pointed out Famous Last Words was actually hecking written from one brother to another so that adds A LOT MORE FEELINGS to this one (once again Robin will understand: this is on my very small and very intense Jason playlist adkdjalfh bc I process things by making playlists about them-)
also @disco-tea sent me this panel of a DCU comic and I uh... yeah I feel. Fine. about this. but that's like, a trademark Dana Scully "I'm fine," which is to say, I'm absolutely coming apart at the seams
also just thinking about your OCs and my OCs, because we both have at least one significant sibling pair — mainly lately I've been thinking about Yancy and Sumako, bc their dynamic just inexplicably means SO MUCH to me, they love each other so much and they're actually like, a somewhat normal/well-adjusted pair of siblings (compared to a lot of others lol) and I love to see that, they just. have fun!! and care for each other!!! and would die for each other in a heartbeat but not in an angsty way, just in a way that's been a complete given since the moment Sumako was born and will continue to be a given for the rest of their lives; simple unquestioned fact, no shadows attached.
and then MY sibling pair, Dany and her younger sister (who is currently being called either Cassidy or Carissa?? I haven't decided yet tbh) who are separated for like, over a year and are a significant portion of each other's primary motives behind... A Lot of things they do, but at the same time, they don't even get along that well. they have such totally different ways of going about things that often they're at odds even though they Get Each Other more than most people probably do??? and once Dany reaches her destination (wherever her family is) the two sisters have to reckon with the fact that they both, but mostly Dany, have CHANGED. A lot. Carissa has to deal with the fact that the sister she has now isn't the same one she had Before. neither of them always handles it totally well skdfjskfjsjwf
a lot of this is also probably initially instigated (or at least planted in my head a tad bit) by the fact that I've watched FX's The Bear nearly two times (i have one episode left to rewatch shhh) and the primary underlying struggle of that series is that the main character is dealing with the loss of his older brother and a strained relationship with his older sister (amongst other things, but I'm not giving you the whole schpiel rn lol). oh and one of the other main relationships in the show is the main character's really weird friend/family thing with his dead brother's former best friend, it's absolutely fascinating tbh. as several other people have said, in a way, it's a ghost story. the narrative is haunted by the loss of a brother.
and Gerard Way is really getting to me
anyway thanks for the opportunity to go wild and probably come across as INCREDIBLY unhinged and incoherent, but hey, I'm in good company!
