Obviously it's imperfect, and I'll need to come back and add some clarifications, but it's a decent mock up for the Oadlings hc/au family connections! <3

edit:

explanations:

So first off I'd love to do a more detailed & better structured version, potentially with more characters, but most family tree software won't let you denote multiple partners, step parents, adoptions, AND various half siblings so for now it's this clusterfuck flowchart

Bobby and Thomas are full-blood siblings, Matt is their half brother via their mother. Les, Darly & DeeDee (twins) have the same father as them, but two different mothers

Alain, the father of the four half sisters who would go on to become the mothers of the canonical Oadlings, had terrible luck and two of his three wives passed away, with the 3rd outliving him

Matt Oades is gay and had a lavender marriage with a (lesbian) friend named Maya. They legally divorced after he was caught having sex with a man in an attempt to spare her any persecution. Because they're still friends (ofc) Maya and her partner Selene are the ones to adopt a bastard child (Rufus) that is either Darly's or Bobby's (he's Darly's) and stay in a degree of contact with the family

Wylde is Matt's son from his younger days, with his conception owed to an exploded van motor, a bad wig and a lot of psychedelics. Matt & Micah love him very much, but did not know of his existence until quite recently.

Matt briefly marries Janice after she has a few unsuccessful marriages after Bobby (not pictured), landing her with the Oades surname again by the episode From The Cradle to the Grave, but it had been terminated by then for some time as when gay marriage was legalized he divorced her to marry Micah Miller, the man who he loves and has been in a happy and stable relationship with ever since

Johnny's biological mother Roz was in an open relationship with Nile Dreer, a semi closeted trans woman. Roz passed away after giving birth to Johnny due to complications and, though they weren't married, she listed Johnny's biological father Bobby Oades as the father on the paperwork meaning he was given the surname. Nile suffered from a large amount of substance abuse due to grief, so Bobby and various Oades grandparents were the ones to have primary custody with some visitations granted to Nile

Coral had/has bouts of stalkerish level obsession with Les, but because he's infertile would, when his interests began to wane, hook up with Bobby (and maybe others?) and claim the resulting pregnancy was his. She did the math wrong with Errol's conception and the results were a paternity test and a divorce

Frodo's parents are Thomas and Kara, but his biological father is Bobby, with Bobby getting Kara pregnant, leaving her for Janice, Thomas confessed his love and they married. They had a brief, two year divorce, but reconciled and remarried as they really do love one another very much

Ptyir was only able to connect with the family after his mother and grandfather had died, and then initially only with the "aunties'" Maya and Selene. He's very close with Rufus, who was also only permitted limited contact with his cousins, but more recently after Bobby was jailed and Errol's sentencing went to trial they've begun to initiate further contact

Family titles are quite fluid, with an example being Janice referred to as an aunt, a mother, a godmother, and an "auntie-mum"

What is wrong with the women in this town?

Kristin needs better security at her house 😅

Frodo is happening regardless, this is more about if Johnny should or not

Each of the Oadlings within the semi-au having a scar from something Bobby did (or ties back to his actions or inactions), with most of them being something that can be at least mostly hidden

(In no particular order):

Ladybird's is the most obvious having it on her face with the scarring causing mild paralysis on that side of it (pushed and fell onto a glass coffee table)

Rhys almost canonically has had multiple TBIs, but perhaps one of the more severe ones left a visible reminder that's hidden under his fluff of hair. Canonically the tbi incidents occurred from a badminton racket, a trampoline accident, and possibly him getting dropped, so Bobby's incident could either be the dropping or a 4th separate incident

Errol's would be a more indirect version, sporting either small circular scars on his temples or old self-injury scars, either way a result of his time at an early-days Deschler Clinic (the expenses were too high to keep him in the program, but the family accepted a partial refund in exchange for not publicizing how severely detrimental the "treatments" had been on him)

Ptyir's also aren't Bobby's technical fault, perhaps he'd have still have found himself working on the docks and on the boats too young for safety with or without some child support to pad the household expenses, but regardless there are friction burns set deep into the skin of his hands on both sides in mirrored set

Johnny's is well covered, a good hearted tattoo artist took special care in the design, opting for the scales of justice as a semi-subtle disdain for Bobby's ability to avoid real consequences (Johnny just agreed because he thought the design was badass)

Frodo. Frodo is a kind soul and a terrible liar. He was holding the gun when it went off, technically he did shoot himself in the foot. On the trip that Bobby slapdashedly organized. Everything that could go wrong did of course. They'd all seen what their uncle-dad could do when he was well and truly angry, it became a march on eggshells by the time they headed home. He rounded on Frodo for some inevitable infraction. The safety was off. It may not be a lie, but it doesn't tell the truth. He shot himself in the foot.

Given the way Bobby talks to him and Rhys in "An Oades to Christmas" I think it's really not too much of a stretch to think that the Oadlings probably weren't raised in situations where they'd think abuse is all that abnormal.

Also also a little snippet from Frodo in the same episode (Ghost Train) after getting caught by mistake that's kinda darker when you remember that the Oades' are absolutely terrible liars.
