I decided to make a post dedicated to Hobie’s family since you guys rlly like Tani’yah. We’ll be talking about her and Hobie’s 5 other siblings (who i will draw soon but its not that crazy since most of them r based on his concept designs but yk) who are Hugo, Josiah, Hendrix, Noah(or “Syd”) and Delroy.
Tani’yah, a resilient and nurturing mother of six, emanates a bold and headstrong aura that has seamlessly transitioned from her spirited youth into her adulthood. Her unwavering commitment to family is evident, as she consistently places their well-being above all else. With a heart guided by tough love, Tani’yah has shaped her children's characters, instilling a sense of discipline and responsibility.
Having predominantly raised boys, she possesses an innate understanding of each child's unique needs, providing individualized care and support. Tani’yah's strength lies in her ability to balance a somewhat strict demeanor with a lively and witty personality, creating an environment where her children can both learn important life lessons and enjoy the lighter moments.
Despite her tough exterior, Tani’yah is not one to shy away from fun and games, often participating in lively activities with her kids. Her playful side adds an element of joy to the family dynamic, creating cherished memories that balance the more serious aspects of parenting.
Tani’yah faced a significant challenge when Hobie deceived her about his secret identity. The disappointment she felt was immense, considering the amount of danger he was putting himself through. Despite that, she, along with Hobie's brothers, embraced him wholeheartedly. Her primary concern now is that Hobie learns from this experience and endeavors to be more truthful in the future, reinforcing the importance of honesty and trust within the family unit. Tani’yah's journey as a mother reflects a tapestry of strength, wisdom, and love, weaving a narrative of resilience and familial devotion — making her a primary role model in Hobie’s life.
Ulysses, once a stable and caring father, faced a tumultuous turn of events that reshaped him into a man they despised. Struggling with the loss of his job and the death of his beloved mother, Ulysses succumbed to the dark grip of alcoholism. This descent into addiction led to a drastic shift in his behavior towards Tani’yah and their children. Initially a loving partner and father, the burdens of life transformed him into a harsh, unpredictable presence in their lives.
As Tani’yah reached a point where she could no longer fulfill his needs, Ulysses' resentment manifested in mistreatment towards her and the children. The toxic atmosphere that ensued ultimately led to the dissolution of their marriage, marking a painful separation. Ulysses, grappling with personal issues, chose to leave, abandoning his family.
Hobie carried heavy resentment towards him. There were periods were he would try to get in contact with Tani’yah, but they rejected him.
Hugo, the eldest of the brown siblings and lead vocalist for, exudes a smug confidence that adds an edge to the band's dynamic. Despite being dubbed the "voice of reason," his wisdom is often a byproduct of his seniority and responsibility within the group. Hugo carries a portable microphone, not just for the stage, but as a symbol of his intolerance for being talked over—He’s very hard on the others but Hobie especially, reasoning is unknown as of now. Hobie never bothered to ask what his deal was.
Josiah, the second oldest among his siblings, sharing unbreakable bond with Hugo as they’re twins. His cluelessness adds a quirky charm to his personality. A surprising contrast to his laid-back attitude is his meticulous approach to hair care, due to being self-consciousness about his appearance. Interacting with Hobie, however, proves to be a source of both awkwardness and frustration for Josiah, as their personalities clash and refuse to align, making then unable to get along.
Hendrix, the mute guitarist of the band, possesses a reserved demeanor that sets him apart from the other outgoing personalities within the group. Despite his silence, he radiates reliability, a pillar of strength for the band. Behind this facade he’s quite humorous, adding a unique charm to his character. Hendrix is the steady force, steering clear of trouble while contributing an essential blend of talent and wit to the band's dynamic. Hobie finds his company especially pleasant and often goes to him for advice on how to handle certain situations.
Del is the second youngest member. He carries an air of aloofness, a result of the protective wall he's built due to deep-seated fears of vulnerability and having trust issues. However, if you get closer enough to him, you discover a laid-back and talkative individual who values genuine connections. Due to being adopted into the family, it’s left him often feeling disconnected from the rest of the group, often seen in solitude or with Syd. Besides Syd, he finds it easier being in Hobie’s company most of the time — their relationship isn’t very strong, though.
Syd, the world's biggest instigator and drummer, is a vibrant force of energy. His loud and enthusiastic nature is magnified by the fact that he's deaf in one ear, blissfully unaware of the volume he projects while speaking. Cursing like a sailor, he adds a rebellious edge to his persona. Hyperactive and emotionally charged, Syd embodies intensity, amplifying every human emotion by tenfold. Despite his childish nature, he despises being treated like a baby, reacting harshly to any infantilizing comments made at him due to being the youngest.
※ Noah’s nickname ‘Syd’ is one that he picked up and mainly wants non-family members to use it.
※ Their main hangout spot is their garage, that they don’t use since Tani’yah doesn’t own a car, and where they rehearse.
※ Their band is called “The Cunts” courtesy of Del LMAO.
※ Josiah is not allowed to cook anymore due to nearly setting himself on fire on multiple occasions.
Anddd that’s all I have for you all! I love them a lot and I hope you guys will too. 🤎🤎 Have any questions? My inbox is open!
I will update this with drawings of all of them so be on the lookout 🧏🏽♂️
