I just gaslit myself into thinking there’s a possibility that Blackheart could mentor Dylan Brock (two princes descended from beings of Darkness but barred from inheriting due to Circumstances) and now I’m going absolutely feral over the idea.










Reluctant Found Family
- “Are you sure you need me for this? … No, I’m sorry. Of course.”
- “Why are you even here? Seriously, did I invite you? I don’t remember inviting you.”
- “I don’t like having people in my space.” “Oh. I can…” “No, it… It’s fine. You’re fine. Stay.”
- “Look, if we’re gonna be forced to spend time together, we might as well try to get along. Come on, sit. Let’s… get to know each other. I guess.”
- “Where did you go? It’s weird not having you around.”
- “Why didn’t you tell me you were allergic?!” “You told me not to talk to you about anything but the job!” “Obviously not in this case, dipshit!”
- “Shut up and let me help.”
- “Wh- How did you know it was my birthday?!” “It’s in your file.”

Eva Stratt: You have no immediate family. You don’t even have a dog.
PHM Fandom: What are you talking about this guy has tons of immediate family. His identical twin brother is a stuntman wanted for murder. His older brother who is not his twin but looks identical to him is some kind of assassin who’s also wanted for murder. Ryland is the only one not wanted for murder, actually. Nobody in this family shares a last name so it’s understandable oversight. You’re right about the dog though. Give us long enough and we’ll fix that too.
My favorite thing about the Project Hail Mary fandom is that everyone heard the line “you have no immediate family you don’t even have a dog” and went “give that man found family!!!!”
Whether it’s a crossover with a bloody YouTuber, giving him a twin or multiple, or making Eridian ocs that love him. It’s so amazing. You are not alone. You don’t need to have the traditional white picket fence to be loved and have meaningful connections.
it’s always funny to me when ppl act like it’s somehow incestuous for characters who consider each other found family/chosen family/whatever u wanna call the trope to date each other, and it’s funny for many reasons, but most specifically it’s funny because irl when you meet a person and get really attached and decide that you want to be family with them, there’s a very popular legally recognized way of doing that & it’s called marriage
Marriage promotes incest because then you end up having sex with a family member
if you’ve ever gone on a romantic “date” at olive garden just block me rn i literally can’t deal with you proshippers -_-
what
when you’re there you’re family
Couple + Sibling/relative third wheel is honestly an S-tier trio dynamic and I wish we saw more of this in media.
“You are my soulmate. We are forged together by battle and tears and love. Also my brother’s coming along.”
“Yo.”
Bonus points if the non-related half of the couple is just as committed to keeping the third wheel around as the related half.
“Isn’t it weird that your brother in law is always hanging around?”
“You’ve got a problem with Andrew?”
i feel like your group of close knit characters would work better less as a found family and more as a ride or die indie rock band a la lemonade mouth. “whos the mom friend” shut up. whos the bassist.
Found Family Soft Angst / Angsty Softness
- “You’re all I got.”
- “I’ve never really belonged before.”
- “Come on, give me a hug. Get in here. You too, don’t try to sneak out.”
- “I wish I’d found you guys sooner.”
- “Don’t you have your own room?”
“I feel safer here.”
“Alright then, couch or bed?”- “This is the closest thing I have to home.”
- “You don’t have to deal with this on your own, you know that right?”
- “It feels like we’ve always known each other.”
- “Can we please go home?”
“Home? … Yeah, we’ll go home.”- “Shut up. We’re family, your insecurities are stupid if they are telling you any different.”
- “You’re not gonna be getting rid of me now.”
- “Remember, when you’re ready to talk, I’m here.”
- “What’s that… Don’t tell me those kids were messing with you again.”
- “Who said that? Only I get to tease you about that!”
- “I’ve never had a place to call my own before.”
- “There you are! Do not do that again, I was fucking worried about you!”
- “I put you down as my emergency contact, is that okay?”
“Why do you hate found family” you guys will call characters who r literally coworkers siblings its stupid.
I think ppl r actually too obsessed with doing nuclear family dynamics on their beloved characters i don’t want mom and dad and their two kids this shit is lame irl why can’t people just have funny little friendships.
