With the adoption(?) Au, where Jc has A KID, i read through it. And some news for you, i have ONE half brother, but from my HALF sisters, i get THREE more, one big bro and two little bros. I have ONE full sister #twins, and with her, i share ONE little half SISTER, and three half big sisters, from where i get their HALF little SISTER and half big sister. All in all, i got 11 siblings, and i don't care if they don't all share even half blood with me. They count because i want them to count.
And if i ever get kids, they got an army of cousins.
And friend or foe with Jin Ling? Puh-lease, i hated/loved one of my cousins who is an annoying brat but fun to play games with, so why not make it both for her as well. Gotta love that family love. One day all lovey dovey, the next WAR.
(This is to explain why i find what you write as funny because of my own experience. I didn't find out till i was 14 that not all of my counted siblings had blood ties with me and i was like "well, fuck it, i already counted them, might as well ignore that shit you just told me")
Uh. Kay? I.... don’t really know what any of that has to do with enjoying my writing but good for you.
I also have 11 siblings though. 5 from my mom and 6 from my dads previous marriage.
