#Cain instinct is real

[evasive-anon]

I keep seeing people making posts about how Jason is big brother coded cause of his care taker instinct or some shit but honestly I think him beating the shit out of Tim was way more relatable older brother behavior.

Like yeah, looking out for younger siblings is a thing but it’s a way smaller piece of the time pie chart than making fun of them or actually fighting them.

No matter how old you get the instinctual behavior to bully your older sibling never goes away

Rereading Septimus Heap when you’re older means going “Simon. Simon, ilu, but you HAVE to stop beefing with 12 year olds. It’s embarrassing. I’m embarrassed for you. Chill out, man.”

As a swagless older sibling with a charismatic and cute younger sibling, Stannis resorting to fratricide within days of losing a verbal fight with Renly is very funny and relatable to me

About two or so months ago, I sent an idea about the Zoroark Possession AU where Emmet was also a Zoroark, but no one (including himself) realized because he had none of the physical tells. I wanted to add to that after I learned a bit of trivia. Namely that it’s possible for oviparous species to have more than one child per egg (but it’s very rare, and usually fatal for one or both of them). Maybe it’s viable for Pokémon or just ghost-types specifically.

So to add to that idea, not only is Emmet still Ingo’s brother as a Zoroark, he’s his twin brother as both a human and Zoroark. Would Ingo think his angst over not telling Emmet about being a Zoroark was for nothing considering Emmet had no idea he himself was also a Zoroark?

Actually, if you wanted to make that scenario more dramatic, then let’s say Ingo gets rifted not long after… along with Emmet’s human body sans Emmet. Something more comedic would be that happening significantly later. Later enough for them to find some privacy and calm down to the point Emmet is comfortable joking that one upside to this is that he’s the big brother now, and Ingo (still not wanting to admit he’s been lying to Emmet their entire life when it became clear his brother had absolutely no idea he was a Zoroark) has to suppress a very slight sibling instinct to exit his human body to see if himself as a Zoroark is bigger or at least as big as Emmet to deny Emmet his small victory.

anon, this is SO funny. Emmet just having a time with Ingo's sudden disappearance and the fact that he's suddenly? A giant Zoroark now? But has apparently also always been a Zoroark and just hasn't known it? Wild times. Absolutely rollercoaster of emotions. But he's definitely rubbing this into Ingo's face when he gets back, for sure. Who's the big brother now, Ingo?

(He is. so very, very disappointed when it turns out to still be Ingo. This is verrry unfair, brother. You must have cheated!!)

having siblings is wild actually bc like one time I screamed at my brother so hard for eating all but one of my leftover raviolis that he genuinely thought I was going to physically hurt him and he left the house (I did not even think about physically fighting him I was just very mad and also hungry and it was day 1 of my period u know how it is) but also right after high school musical 2 aired on disney channel I liked the soundtrack so much and it wasn't really available anywhere to purchase yet and even if it was we were poor so I wouldn't be getting the cd for a long time and neither of us really understood pirating at the time but my brother went onto azlyrics dot com and printed out the lyrics to every single song for me so I could read them to myself and play them in my head

What do you think five and sloane interactions will be like post canon (assuming a happy ending)? I’m planning on writing one, but I don’t know if I have enough of a handle on her character to write it well, so itd be cool to see others’ thoughts on them

I am so sorry, but you will not find help on this from me. I have approximately zero thoughts about Sloane because I don't particularly like her as a character because I think she's badly written.

I like to stay positive here, I don't like to yuck anyone's yum, and I know lots of people really like Sloane! And I enjoy her! Genesis Rodriguez is beautiful and a very charming actress. Her lil romance with Luther is fun, I like their wedding for the moment it gives narratively in the face of the end of the world. But I just think she's a really weak character (in a writing sense), so I totally get you having trouble getting a handle on her to write more of her. That makes perfect sense to me.

I don't want to drag anything down, so I don't necessarily want to get into my actual rant against how they wrote Sloane, so, I'll just say this: I know there are lots of Sloane fans, some of you must follow me, so if one of you could, really nicely, come explain to me One Negative Character Trait she has, I would genuinely appreciate it. If there is one and I just missed it because I binged the season and haven't done a real rewatch, that's on me and I take back some of my dislike. This will also help me if I ever do write her. But like, does she have a negative character trait?

This isn't a call out or anything, but sometimes when I'm scrolling through SW fics I can just tell that the author has never had siblings before.

Especially when it comes to interactions between the Disaster Lineage and/or the Clones.

On the other hand, I've also ran into a number of SW fics where the author is so painfully familiar with having siblings/raising younger siblings/etc that I can't help but wince in sympathy and comradery.

Siblings really do be like that.

Tldr: SW will always be my main found family fandom. And that's that on that.
