I WAS LATE BUT I NEED THIS Y'ALL LOOK AT THIS

writing questionnaire I stole :) (siblings)

found this post by @willtheweaver and wanted to fill in with my own characters! it was a tag game but I'm still new enough to having a tumblr account that I'm not sure who to tag. anyone can steal this.

(two sets of siblings, Evan/Austin and Jack/James/Jude/Julian):

Who looks more like their dad? Evan

probably James.

Who looks more like their mom? Evan

either Jude or Julian.

Who eats the most? Austin probably

Jude used to eat a lot, but then he got a girlfriend and went on this fitness kick. (as if his body wasn't good enough. It was.) Julian probably eats the normalest amount Jack goes in spurts but can eat a ton. James kinda is similar but less on again, off again - he just shovels it down.

Who has been in the weirdest situations? You'd think it would be Austin, but it's actually Evan 110%

Jack, by nature of Protagonist Syndrome, but James gets a lot of it too

Who sleeps the most? Austin :)

Between Jack and James, Jack thinks it's James. James has a healthy sleep schedule. Julian sleeps the most.

Who has the most stable romantic life? ...Austin? though to be fair Evan's mostly a mess in general, not in romance specifically

Jack, because he's a brick wall of not understanding. Stable, sure, but I'd call James healthiest as far as romantic life goes. Jude has had a girlfriend for longest but the way he approaches romance doesn't feel quite stable somehow.

What is the worst habit of each? Evan: Catastrophizing Austin: Trying new things (without stopping to think)

Jack: Protagonist SyndromeTM (Wants to do it alone, no matter what the "it" is. Saving the world or struggling through homework. He's gonna be the one to take care of it.) Jude: Comparing things to Twilight James: Getting himself into trouble :) or giving people rocks. Julian: Feigning indifference, making fun of his brothers (mostly accidentally)

Who is the most dramatic? Austin. Which isn't to say Evan's not a drama queen, because he is.

Jack. Baby of the family, rip. Julian went through a phase but he will deny it to his dying breath.

Who has the weirdest phase? Another one of those you'd think it would be Austin but it's Evan. I guess I should explain the phase, but I'll come back to that.

While Julian had A Phase, Jude's was actually the weirdest. He was super into Twilight. Still is, actually.

Who is the best cook in the family? Austin's the best cook on accident, Evan's the more reliable cook.

Julian is the best cook. James is the most creative (in a way that he makes always work out somehow). Jack gets by, and Jude is better than Jack.

What is their best memory together? For Evan, it's when they defeated that dragon back in 8th grade and he realized he was free to spend time with Austin again instead of being ashamed. For Austin, it's a memory of Evan's smile.

All four of them, it was probably the Christmas Santa showed up and gave them a sleigh ride. Julian was convinced it was Dad or Grandpa. Except Dad showed up and the whole family went out together, and they ended the journey at their grandparents' house, where both Grandma and Grandpa were settling in for the night. Jude had spent some time believing Julian but was very excited when Julian was wrong and Santa actually was real. Jack and James were pretty little and had no concept of what Julian and Jude were talking about. They were in it for the bright red sleigh with jingle bells and snow under the nighttime street lamps and getting to stay up past their bedtime.

What is their worst memory together? The Incident where Austin nearly died in an alleyway, Evan spent three days trapped in an unfamiliar and traumatizing landscape trying to recover Austin, and then Evan killed Austin when he found him. (He did survive but that was hecka traumatic and their relationship has never been the same again.)

A bad miscommunication that

What is their dream trip together? The seaside, probably in Ireland

The boys always wanted to go to that place where you can break apart rocks with Viking axes. It's unclear how the four of them came to know of such a place and it's unclear if such a place even exists.

Would you rather: not be able to shower or change clothes? Evan and Austin: Not shower.

Jack: Not shower Jude: Change clothes, I've GOTTA shower for my girl James: Change clothes. I wanna shower Julian: Meh whatever's more convenient for whatever I have going on that day. (That's not an answer. His answer would probably be not shower, since it's easier to look like you take care of yourself if you wear a different outfit every day.)

Who’s older? Evan and Austin change back and forth on that. Neither of them really knows. Austin may be years younger than Evan by some manners of measuring, but I don't think that should count because they're the same age. (At one point they had the same birthday, but over the years I think Austin's birthday drifted apart from Evan's. Not sure in which direction and at any rate they're uh. still the same age.)

Jack/James/Jude/Julian, that order. When Jack was three, James was five, Jude was twelve, and Julian was seventeen.

Describe each other in three words: Austin (as described by Evan): Crazy magic idiot Evan (as described by Austin): Strong idiot magic

These ones will be the three words the other three brothers could agree upon: Jack: Baby (werewolf) (no you can't say werewolf) (why not?) (Mom said not to!) (come on he's more than just a werewolf) (can I say Tourette's?) (dude shut up) (Julian I'm going to put autistic on yours) (okay fine not werewolf what else then?) (young?) (we already said baby) (oh yeah) cool (dragon) (dude that's not even true) (yeah but wouldn't it be cool if he was a dragon?) (Jude come on!) (actually no I think Jude's right) (no guys. I vote no. let's be real.) (Julian come onnnn) (he's not a dragon!) (yeah but what IF-) (how about annoying) (no that would be you, dork) (shut up man he can be annoying too) tired (yeah he does get tired like. a lot.) Jude: (Twilight!) (yeah but a person can't be Twilight) (I don't know if Jack could be a dragon Jude could be Twilight) (that's not fair) (fiiiiiiine) (girlfriend?) (no Jack that doesn't describe him. that's just something he has.) Teenage mutant ninja James: (Annoying) (hey he's not annoying!) (well you're both annoying) (that's no fair, he's only annoying to you) (so what?) crazy sneaky climbing Julian: obnoxious older brother

Who is their role model? Zab

Jack's is James. James's is Steve from Blue's Clues. Jude's is Jacob from Twilight, which is a bit worrying. Julian says he doesn't have a role model. He does, and it's his great-grandpa on his mom's side, who is a war veteran.

Who usually has the worst ideas? Oh, definitely Austin. But.

Jude hits the "a little confused but he got the spirit" vibes, often with very bad ideas coming from good-meaning intentions. Jack is reckless. James goes with the flow, altering said flow when he needs, but good at it.

Who is the “certified bug killer”? Evan

Julian. Jack will do it, though was squeamish about it for a while. James catches them with his bare hands to let them outside, even if they bite or have stingers or pincers. Jude will grab a broom and try to sweep it outside until his mom yells at him to just grab a cup and scoop it up.

ooh ooh ooh it's me in real life! want to know what it is?

:D

Here to mention that this is the same friend that sent me this once:

"I'm a burden" congratulations Janet you have discovered the way that society is meant to function?

best thing you could have ever said to me. like my dad always says. the only way to treat a cold is with contempt. I present: the only way to treat Sad Boi hours is with disdain

adorable dad thing today: watching the man cook

for context, when he was a young college student he worked at a fancy restaurant in the middle of nowhere. From time to time he pulls out his skills from that restaurant whether it's cooking or random waiter things or whatnot. He absolutely loves cooking. He's so good at it too.

And, I don't know, there's just something about it. Him opening the oven to pull out three pans of golden beautiful enchiladas made with such specificity and love. Enough to feed his family for two days and also a couple of young adults who were stopping by for food. The love. Small batch huge heart. So much care.

He used to hate complex foods. He used to be a horrible picky eater who didn't like tomatoes or mushrooms or anything red or anything grown up. (This was before I knew him, but I know stories.) He used to hate cooking. And then, to be a dad, he learned. He learned for work to support his family and then he learned for love to feed his family. And decades later he's still at it. And it's incredible. I cannot fathom food as good as my dad's.

Forget adorable. My dad is precious.

hey fellas! it's real life! means you get sick sometimes 🙃
