Auric's cool lil' corner

i hate hate hate the way fandoms at large interpret the found family trope. so often people seem to think it means just recreating the nuclear family structure with characters who aren’t related to each other, and shoving those characters into either a mom role, a dad role, or a child role. when really it's supposed to be about finding/building a support system outside that traditional model, and illustrating that sometimes that isn’t always the best model....aka the exact opposite of what people do.
