The "Adopted" Sibling or Child Meme


They say blood is thicker than water. Family is everything. But what about the family you choose, the ones that aren't necessarily bound to you by shared blood? Sometimes, they can be closer than anyone you're just related to through chance. You chose them, after all!

This person in particular is someone you're closer to than almost anyone; it's more than friendship, it's darn near familiar. No, more than darn near, it is familial. They may be younger than you, maybe even by a considerable margin, but they may not be. They could just seem that way, in their innocence or vulnerability. You want to protect them more than anything, keep them close, and spend time with them so their life can be improved by whatever you can do.

Officially or unofficially, you've adopted them as your own. Your family, with you as an older sibling or parent figure. This could make things better for them...or worse.

❤ Comment with your character info and the ilk. Be sure to include whether or not your character is more likely to be the adopter or the adoptee. Or both, I don't mind. No judgement here.
❤ Reply to others.
❤ Cute familial fluff, even for the darkest of characters and canons. If Murder: The Anime can do it, so can you!

[ It may be a good thing that she doesn't know this. But little Alice is more perceptive than people could ever give her credit for. Street thugs simply scare her for the fact she knows they have to be dealt with one way or the other.

How you would deal with street thugs frighten her more than anything. Alice doesn't want to see anyone forced to use violence. There's a lot of things Alice doesn't know about him, and it's a good thing. She shyly ducks her head on his side, ignoring the glaring woman that passes them.

Alice forgets to verbalize after her stint of talking like a normal child. Her words are broken and limited. She's shaking her head. ]

They look strange. [ Oh, my god, can they just be left alone? In a bit of her paranoia and fright, Alice tugs on Connor's jacket. ] Can we go?

All right. [He ignores the woman as she passes; whatever she's glaring at, he'd rather avoid attracting attention or making a scene. So nods, and leads Alice down the street in the opposite direction. Not toward home, though -- she needs to get used to being out in public again.]

Why don't we pay a visit to the park? It will be quieter there.

[A compromise between her fear of strangers and not going anywhere at all, he thinks. And the grand parks are one of the few parts of London that Connor likes, himself.]

[prekindled]

[ It's a good thing that they have moved on; Connor may have not have done anything, but Alice certainly would have. Her traumatized mind has been warped, she is more prone to strange outbursts, of provoked.

Or if anyone were to bother Connor. Alice isn't thrilled with the idea of going to the park, she would prefer to huddle indoors, away from people. She needs to get use to people again, but this only makes her let out an unsettled noise and cling even more to him. ]

Is it a big park?

[ Big parks means that she can avoid people as much as possible. ]

[lifescratched]

[He puts his hand on her shoulder as she huddles closer to him, in an attempt to try and reassure her.]

It is. There is a large pond, too, if you wish to feed the birds.

[Connor's not even the child here and it's one of his favourite things to do in English parks. Maybe the time spent with animals might help Alice relax, as well.]
