it's sad english doesn't have a cutesey title-name to call your siblings... like in the same way you'd never call your mom other than 'mom' unless you're really hostile, that's how these sibling words work in other languages...

#mel.txt #is that perhaps why english speakers are more hostile to their siblings mayhaps ??? #i just feel like in other cultures siblings are friends you grow up with or auntie types depending on the age gap #and in a lot of english speaking media siblings are terrible #not all ofc and a media portrayal obviously doesn't reflect the full reality #but it is interesting #for insance i have a deep connection to my sister and call Only mana. but i rarely call my brother anything other than his name bc we are #simply not as close
