#especially sibling relationships

[craneworms]

i love how asl is like the truest representation of siblings in anime. they are like “like yes i love my brothers. yes i sometimes hate them for the smallest, stupidest things. yes i would do anything to protect them. yes we gang up on the youngest. yes we’ve all at least broken one bone while play fighting with each other. yes my brothers are most important people in my life and i can not imagine it without them beside me. yes they are my inspiration and i would trust them with anything but i would rather die than share a single french fry with them.” and that is so important to me. that is what true siblings are.

#one piece #asl trio #asl brothers #monkey d. luffy #straw hat luffy #sabo #revolutionary sabo #portgas d ace #fire fist ace #platonic relationships will always be so important to me #especially sibling relationships #like idk how i would survive without my sisters & i hate them & also love them #and i need fictional siblings to give of that kind of energy too

sibling relationships are like. im trying so hard. look at me the same way you did so 12 years ago that summer when everything was okay. i miss you (im right here). is this tragedy? i knew you once

Thinking about ragbros and their direct parallel to the twins. The traveler who is widely considered a hero and spends their days protecting teyvat and their sibling who is leading the abyss who seeks to destroy that. Yeah that's a direct parallel to diluc being the protector of mondstat while kaeya is a descendant of the abyss orders founder. Like. Do you think after the traveler finds out about kaeya and Diluc's past they're just. Absolutely floored by how similar they are? And hoyo wants us to be normal about this???

#diluc #kaeya #ragbros #lumine #aether #genshin impact #i truly believe this is intentional on hoyos end #ESPECIALLY after caribert like. #wdym kaeyas ancestor directly worked with your sibling to make the abyss order. #i think kaeya and dilucs relationship and how it evolves #is either gonna be a foil to the twins in the end #(for example if they make up and the twins dont or vice versa) #or directly reflect it #regardless i think theres a reason theyre one of the first family dynamics we're introduced to

[jaggedpeak]

anyone else think about these two and get really really really sad

#warrior cats #wc #ravenpaw #dustpelt #this is lazy im sorryyyyy just needed to get back into the groove of digital drawing after a week lol #stole the dialogue for this from this is us thank you this is us i miss you this is us <3 might actually animate it at some point #anyway. been thinking about their relationship a lot. #ik its not really acknowledged theyre brothers outside of bluestar's se but dust's tougher bullyish personality as a kid with raven's #anxiety is really interesting to think about... ik most of raven's stuff is from tiger but yknow. sibling relationships can be rough #especially if they never get a chance to heal or have any parental intervention #in my head this convo's after the bloodclan battle cause that wouldve been like. one of their first real chances to catch up #I DUNNO!!! i wanna do more with this Thats what i know #my art #2 cents

I am once again doing my own head in thinking about how people love saying Bucky is like a brother to Steve, and wondering whether, if Bucky had been a girl, they would likewise say Bucky is like a sister to Steve, and how actually we all know the answer to that

#like I get you might say that if you a) work for marvel and/or b) don't look too closely #but as soon as you start paying attention you should realise there is no way their relationship would have be called sibling-like #if one of them had been a girl #ESPECIALLY not with the way chris and especially sebastian portrayed them #just #come ON people #it isn't the 1940s anymore #stevebucky #stucky

I'm slowly getting through devil may cry v and got inspired enough to doodle again. Sure they aren't polished but I love looking at others' sketch dumps, it's like looking at a smorgasbord of ideas. So here you go. Read more for close ups of the other doodles. The ID in alt are the same as written in the text.

[I.D. Digital art. A boy in a shirt hoodie, Nero, sits cross legged as he leans backwards to smile up at his companion. Said companion is a tall horned knight, Nelo Angelo, kneeling behind Nero. Nelo gazes to the side, but braces his broadsword by Nero, and his cape drapes around where Nero's sitting. Nero is rendered in light blue and red, Nelo is rendered in light blue, and they're brightly illuminated. End I.D.]

(Was thinking of 'Love Seeketh Not Itself to Please' by Indigomoods on ao3 while doing this one).

[I.D. A number of digital art sketches, most prominently featuring Dante and Vergil from the Devil May Cry series. From top to bottom, right to left:

Headshots of two boys, Dante and Vergil. Short comic of a man (Dante) ruffling a boy's (Vergil's) hair. Sketch of two boys on a couch, one (Dante) looking concerned at the other (Vergil) in foetal position. Branches curl under the couch. Sketch of child Dante and Vergil in red and blue, running hand in hand. Thumbprint sized chibi child Dante and Vergil. Nero and Nelo sitting together.

Semirealistic headshot (DMCV Vergil) in blue. Boy (Dante) curled in a fire, and fire demon (SDT Dante) gazing at his palm against a black background. Loose sketches of a man's head, roughly scribbled out except one, and an angry cat with a sword. They're labelled in blue and red writing. Side profile of a young man in blues (DMC3 Vergil), face shadowed, a yellow ribbon curled in the background. Side profile of DMC3 Vergil. End I.D.]

[I.D. 4 black and white digital pen cartoony sketches of child Dante and Vergil. Head and bust shot of a boy with slicked back hair and black turtleneck (Vergil) looking right. His brows are furrowed, eyes narrowed; he looks unimpressed. Below is a head and bust shot of a boy with shoulder length hair and white shirt (Dante) looking left with wide eyes and a fang toothed, wide grin. Centre close up of a cloaked boy (Vergil) glaring up, brow furrowed. His hair hangs over a shadowed face. One narrowed eye is visible. Right sketch is of a cloaked boy (Vergil) hugging a book to his chest, referencing a Visions of V panel. His one visible eye is wide as he gazes down with a small expression. End I.D.]

[I.D. Coloured digital art over a black background. Two panels. Panel one is child Dante, arms hugging his legs as he sits within a fire raging around him. He's buried his face in his arms. Panel two is an adult Dante in his demonic SDT form. He gazes down at his clawed hand while the fiery core in his chest glows as the main source of light, casting shadows and red light against his armoured form. The tips of his claws seem to glow in the reflected light. End I.D.]

[I.D. Messy sketch of child Vergil and Dante, running hand in hand. The two look at each other with smiles, Dante with a wide grin and Vergil with closed lips and determined brows. Their full expressions aside from the smile cannot be seen; Dante's hair whips back and covers his face while Vergil's face is eyeless. They're softly rendered in light blue and red, and bright lighting. End I.D.]

[I.D. Messy sketch of child Vergil and Dante sitting on a couch, shot from behind the couch. Dante directs a concerned gaze to Vergil, his hand braced on the couch back as he leans closer. Vergil only looks down. His arms are curled around his knees. From the angle, his expression cannot be seen aside from a small frown. Under the couch slithers Qliphoth tree roots. End I.D.]

[I.D. Chibi doodle of child Vergil and Dante, holding hands. Light blue and red ovals were airbrushed on the page, and a pen lined out their features. They have round cheek patches, like budgies. Vergil has a cartoony pout and a book tucked under an arm, labelled with a V; Dante has a toothy grin and is making a bunny ears hand sign. End I.D.]

[I.D. 'DANTE' is evenly block printed in blue pen. Underneath are what looks to be the start of three portraits of Dante in black pen, but they're roughly scribbled out. The most detailed of the three scribbled out portraits is Dante's grinning side profile. He had sunglasses on. The only intact portrait is a shot of Dante from behind, from the chest up and face not visible aside from a grin. Carried on his back is the Devil Sword Dante, rendered in more detail than Dante.

Meanwhile 'VERGIL' is written in orange/red pen, but strikethroughed. Written above instead is 'PURR-GIL!!', an arrow pointing at a doodle of a cat holding a roughly drawn katana(Yamato). The cat is grimacing with furrowed brows. It has spiky fur on its head, a spiky curled tail, a thorn pattern on its arms resembling Vergil's coat sleeves, and fat round blushy cheeks. End I.D.]

[I.D. Semirealistic rendering of DMCV Vergil from the neck up in three quarter view. He's painted in blues, with soft red shadows. He glares at the viewer, brows furrowed. His irises are a soft red, and he has eye bags. His lips are somewhat glossy. To the side is the blue color palette. End I.D.]

[I.D. Stylised depiction of DMC3 Vergil glaring downwards in profile, from the chest up. He's rendered in blues, his face shadowed from the light against his back. Running over his skin are cracked gold lines, reminiscent of kintsugi. In the background curls a yellow ribbon in the same gold. He's wearing a sleeveless turtleneck and cravat. End I.D.]

[I.D. Stylised black and white lineart of DMC3 Vergil glaring in profile, lips sneering, from the neck up. He's in a coat and cravat. End I.D.]

[I.D. Messy comic.

Panel 1: DMCV Dante ruffling child Vergil's hair. Dante's face is out of the panel

Vergil (grimacing): "Dante!"

Panel 2: Vergil's staved off the hair ruffling, lifting up Dante's hand with both his hands. His brows are furrowed as he looks up at Dante. In the background is a laughing sound effect, that tapers off. 'HA HA ha...'

Panel 3: Adult Dante gazing down at child Vergil, arm hovering over him. His expression seems sad, despite the small smile.

Dante: ... I missed ya, Verge.

Vergil gazes up at Dante, a small question mark by his head. End I.D.]

Though they'd be summarised as 'handholding as a motif' #and 'aside from the original metaphor wouldn't it be fun for Dante to literally piece Vergil together again' #and when you wonder if he's acting right you wonder how much you really knew him #how much of his care is what you baked in as wish fulfilment #why can't you keep him from falling apart #something something houseki no kuni style visual shattering #something something Vergil has to do the heavy lifting to glue himself together #and the twins both have to understand each other (i.e. communicate) better for the pieces to stick instead of like #detritus getting in the way of a clean meld

I'm once again thinking about the missed opportunities to have Klaus and Kol bond more. Part of Klaus' whole motivation as a vampire is to get his werewolf part back and to finally be stronger than Mikael (sort of, I'm simplifying) both of which can be obtained by breaking his curse. But Kol? Kol is the only other original that can relate to having a fundamental part of themself ripped away from them. Klaus might not have known he was a werewolf until he killed, but he likely still had a connection he couldn't explain, as evident by him going to watch the wolves transform. And something he'd never been able to explain was now gone. He might only be able to realise the connection afterwards through its absence.

Kol though. Kol had grown up with magic, a connection to nature and the world around him in a way the rest of his siblings supposedly didn't have. And then he gets turned. And not only has his baby brother died, his father has just murdered him and the rest of his siblings after forcing them to drink human blood, which he'll later learn. Now, not only does he have to deal with the grief of Henrik's death and also his own but also the loss of his magic. A loss that's likely only worsened by Kol being a self-proclaimed child prodigy.

Kol is pretty much the only one who could understand what Klaus is going through with the binding of his wolf. We know Kol searched for ways to get his magic back/carry on practicing magic in the same way that Klaus was looking for ways to break his curse. While Klaus likely could still feel his wolf there despite being bound, Kol has no access to his magic anymore. I just think they should've been able to bond or connect over their shared loss of an intrinsic aspect of their selves at the hands of their parents

#TVD #The Mikaelsons #Kol Mikaelson #Klaus Mikaelson #briefly back on my the originals shouldve gotten to be a family goddammit and as someone from a big family im personally offended bs #i did right a lil snippet about them bonding over this that i havent posted yet for the joml verse but still think its an unexplored concep #need more witch!kol acknowledgement honestly. just need more content of my boy #anyway. klaus having a fascination with the moon and kol telling him about celestial events and how it affects his magic when theyre boys #klaus losing that connection to the moon feeling lost & extra tempermental feeling his wolf claw at its binds and vowing to break his curse #kol determined to get his magic back at any cost relating to that devasting loss and promising to help him find a loophole for his curse #kol who becomes extra reckless and determined when he learns that theres a way to break klaus' curse so maybe he can get his magic back too #that knowledge and recklessness combined with his loss of magic driving him to become the volatile vampire that we see #that leads to him being daggered repeatedly but that first time breaks something in that bond between him & klaus that never fully recovers #it makes him bitter and resentful only fueling his reckless behaviour particularly when there seems to be no leads on reclaiming his magic #that he becomes distant from his siblings in the process especially with finn still daggered but that distance only cements the idea #to his siblings that hes a danger and cant be trusted that he needs to be daggered if theyre to stay safe from mikael #the loss of his magic leading to his spiral as a vampire and him being ostracised by his family > actual tvdu kol canon #klaus being trapped in a room staring at the corpse of his little brother knowing he never repaired that relationship with him #and now he never can so he refuses to look away as penance and a reminder of his failings to his little brother #*edit: one of the reblogs on this post is the author of big bad wolf and honestly she does an amazing job at portraying the mikaelsons #as actual siblings if you havent read it its one of my favourites for characterisations but we need more 😭 i want it to be the norm

no honestly imagine someone who you were romantically involved with and lived with for a year in a nuclear-family situation saying that you have a "unhealthy, tangled up, crazy thing" with your brother and that they knew "the minute he walked through that door" it was over between the two of you. and then ALSO says "i'm close to my sister. but if she got killed? i wouldn't bring her back from the dead." like i would honestly just bury myself alive if i got read that hard.

#dean's just built different i guess. i seriously don't know how he lived through that without screaming crying throwing up etc #probably because it was all true and he knew it #but he should've felt a lot more shame i'm not gonna lie. your ROMANTIC PARTNER says she knew your relationship was over #as soon as you figured out YOUR BROTHER was alive. NO ONE SAYS THIS SHIT ABOUT SIBLINGS??? and especially the callout from someone who's #NORMAL ABOUT THEIR SIBLING... #like why do people act like we're insane and reading into it too much when this was literally said in the show. #by someone dean was essentially MARRIED TO no less #i just. phew.

a pet headcanon of mine is that after they're done with the sigil removal, emira expands her horizons and starts studying the psychological side of healing, pulling in some resources from the human realm and combining it with boiling isles methods (i imagine the field of psychology in the boiling isles, while existent, was often pushed aside as just a lesser branch of the healing coven back when belos was in charge. i do imagine there's often magic like the memory tweezers involved)

and i imagine she ends up focusing in on like, art therapy and self-expression, because she knows how important that can be, after having her individuality stifled so hard when she was young

#eliot posts #toh #the owl house #emira blight #canon gave us so little on her compared to her siblings and i feel A Need to expand on her because of that lol #also i like the idea that she does still enjoy illusion magic and focuses more on the artistic/creative side of it #she also gets into non-magical art at some point #<idk if that hc came from me or f1ddlyb1ts or if we both came up w it independently but it's included in one of their fics #and then i think she explores writing some and even a bit of music and bard magic #projecting my ''cannot stick to just one creative hobby'' here #raine mentors her because if amity can get lilith and edric can get eda then emira should get raine #also all of the blight kids have formed a good relationship with darius as their probably future stepdad #but emira especially vibes with him #like ''hey dad i'm going for manicures and bubble tea with your boyfriend. i'll be back by seven'' #boiling isles bubble tea has eyeballs instead of tapioca‚ naturally

i absolutely love how the devs portray reth and his relationship with tish. i feel like so often in media we see siblings hate each other when one of them was sick/disabled/otherwise needed more care, and i do understand why this is common and important to see, but i also love that their relationship Isn't like that. reth still loves, appreciates, and wants to protect tish. he's also not completely overprotective either. he just. loves his sister! and wants to see her happy! and it would've been so easy for the devs to make him spiteful or envious of her but instead they made him a good brother which is So refreshing to see. i love that they have a good relationship with each other

i just,,, reth <3

#my man <3 #its the whole glass child thing #and trust me i Get it and i understand that its very real and needs proper representation #but its also nice to see a sibling relationship in media that isnt like that #since so many of them are #especially since their parents were disappointed in reth choosing a different path! #like.. it just wouldve been so easy for them to make him mean to her but they didnt and i love that #i love that tish and reth have a genuinely good relationship with each other despite their parents being like that #and in spite of tish being sick for a better part of her life #it wouldve been easy for the devs to make them not really know each other too but no <3 theyre besties <3 #they may not always understand each other but theyre besties <3 #palia #reth #tish

So all the other older sisters are crying at WBN 23 tonight, right? We're feeling normal levels of being seen by a D&D show, for sure.

#worlds beyond number #sibling relationships pierce me to my core #nothing is more likely to make me cry #especially when paired with amazing music #also feeling so grateful that I can text or call my little sisters whenever #oh yeah and the old nicknames persisting even though the adjective is no longer accurate is so true

hi reve 4.2 demo now has me obsessed with hg so. introducing inesh almeida half-assed shitpost style. sura begrudgingly working with him after getting the mind dive scene (and wanting family badly cos of outsider scar) means it is very quickly going to find out inesh is actually just some guy that’s really autistic about fish. and it's is going to roast him little sibling style every chance it gets

now that the gang’s learned a little more about who caleb was and what he looks like i wonder how long it’s going to take for hunter to realize that not only does he look like caleb now, but he’s making the same choices caleb did. he has brown eyes and longer hair like caleb. he’s interested in wild magic like him. he has at least one surrogate sibling (luz), maybe two (gus), that he wants to take care of like caleb took care of phillip. depending on what his deal with willow is he may have even fallen in love with a witch like caleb did. he doesn’t know about how caleb might have been a woodcarver like hunter himself wants to be, and he probably doesn’t know the specifics of flapjack’s relationship with caleb. but with flapjack’s soul bouncing around in hunter’s mindscape now (?) and what gus saw of phillip’s life, hunter might find out about it in the next two specials.

and like. hunter’s entire arc is about individualism. he’s been told what he’s supposed to be his entire life and he wants to decide what he wants to do for himself. idk what he’ll think of caleb after hearing his story but whether he thinks caleb is still bad or not hunter isn’t going to want to live his life exactly like caleb does. and if he considers his appearance and life choices, i feel like it would horrify him for a bit to realize he’s been unconsciously mimicking caleb all along. especially if you add in a few more scenes of belos referring to hunter as caleb in his inevitable confrontation with the main characters.

so i wonder if this revelation is going to cause a breakdown in hunter’s relationships, hobbies, etc. like we already saw him do a 3 am mental breakdown haircut because he didn’t want to look like caleb. he loves luz, gus, and willow with all his heart ofc but it would be interesting if we see him interact with them and recoil, even subconsciously, because he thinks this is exactly how caleb interacted with people in his life, and good or bad, hunter wants to reject everything that had to do with caleb.

ofc the satisfying conclusion to this arc would be for hunter to recognize that although his life choices parallel caleb’s on a surface level, they are still his choices and his choices alone. he can’t let what caleb would have done control his life, and that includes rejecting things that caleb did specifically because caleb did them. i’m not sure if i actually want them to do it bc it seems like it would take up a lot of screentime and they still need to tie up the arcs of other characters but it would be cool to see themes of it
