TELL ME ABOUT YOUR TAKES ON THE DUBOIS FAMILY!!! :D

YAY!!!!!!

theres four brothers, Guilliaume (14), Timothée (11), Fernand (6) and Francois (0). this is just the order of ages when Francois was born though

Saanvika died when Francois was 6 (Guilliaume 20, Timothée 17, Fernand 12), one year after Angelique left. Guilliaume had already left by then, but he came back for the funeral.

same as with you, Guilliaume is gay, but Lance had a different response. still homophobic, but more... vaguely. Guilliaume came out just before he left (when Francois was 4), and Saanvika was 100% accepting, which toned down Lance's response to awkwardness. basically completely ignoring that his son was gay. he came to Saanvika's funeral with his boyfriend, and Lance referred to him as Guilliaume's friend for... a while (not helpful for Francois at all)

Saanvika was the glue, and Timothée was the most like her. Guilliaume was far more argumentative, but Timothée was the peacekeeper of the brothers. all of Francois's brothers loved him and took care of him because they knew Lance wouldn't, especially after Saanvika died. Timothée was very gentle with Francois and tried to teach him what Saanvika taught him (to be kind and caring, along with Sri Lankan and French recipes)

Saanvika was autistic, which is where Francois got it from. if I write anything with them they'll probably all be autistic except for Lance, so there's that.

Lance planned to throw out her clothes, but Timothée begged him not to because they were very close and he wanted to keep them. he left them with Fernand, and then Fernand left them with Francois. since Francois didn't know her very well he looked at a lot of photos of her and Timothée would always tell him stories about her. after Guilliaume left, Timothée took care of Fernand and Francois.

they're all multilingual (the brothers and Saanvika speak Sinhala, English and French and Lance speaks English and French, also Guilliaume speaks Spanish)

Timothée and Guilliaume used to argue a lot but they stopped after Fernand was born, they still did sometimes but far less to avoid upsetting their baby brother and Saanvika. Lance was trying to be involved in their life the best he could, but wasn't good at it after Angelique started nursing them and then Timothée and Fernand were basically Francois's parents after the death of Saanvika, but he wants the best for his family

anyway. yeah.
