I feel a common misconception I suppose with media related to Super Paper Mario I see is that the Bleck team were "found family". The way I interpret it? That's... kinda off from what's shown. Other than I guess the ending and post game?
They're not found family. They're not even a full friend group. They're coworkers.
Coworkers that get annoyed at eachother, talk during tactical meetings, and SOMETIMES bond a little or have feelings but it's interpersonal. Not mutual for everyone.
Team Bleck is closer to the Count Bleck fanclub than anything. Or even a cult. The only thing these people REALLY share in worldview is adoration for him... Except Dimentio. He has his own thing going on.
Literally a Count Bleck fanclub poser pReP.
Oh and before there's talk, yeah, O'Chunks calls Nastasia a chum. But this can easily be chalked up to him just being his normal chunky self and claiming they're closer than they actually are and were. Possibly to cover something up? If they were really that close, why would he be actively searching for her? Seemingly for a while? Wouldn't he know better? Why didn't he or Mimi react stronger to her dying?
Think about it. Think about it carefully.
So uh, TLDR? As a unit, they didn't seem close enough to be found family. That's MY two cents.

thanks for all the love on my spm designs! here's an official ref of my spm oc!!
she's one of count bleck's minions, working as a medic/healer for the count and his minions. i made her back in 2018-19 to ship with mr. l <3 i have a ton of lore and spm-era plot with her inserted in my brain. hopefully i can share more of it sometime!
here's my designs for team bleck as well as postgame timpani for my super paper mario au, eclipse!! ✨
i had an absolute blast revisiting these characters and working on their designs <3
can we get some headcanons on team bleck characters pls?
whoever you are anon? i love you
(ahem)
i got a whole bunch of headcanons but i'll cut these things down to three.
starting off with the count of counts, man of men. count blumiere bleck.
he and dim actually knew each other in the past , having been somewhat of acquaintances. the reason he didnt want dimentio joining at the time was because he didnt want to get a friend involved on these antics and potentially hurt this plan. however, afterwards he would eventually allow him on board because of careful consideration as well as "well honestly, tbh, i dont think he'd get THAT hurt."
next up, he was the absolute worst at trying to accommodate things for the minions to get them comfortable. he didnt know what half the things they requested were and eventually passed the requests job to nastasia who took care of it with ease.
he plays favorites. as much as count bleck doesn't say "i dont have favorites" he definitely does and it's mimi.
speaking of mimi, boom, mimi headcanons.
mimi is a robot, very much so of a robot. shes very much based off a wind up toy and ends up having a lot of spare energy with the wind up. that thing has been spinning for ages.
she and Mr. L have the like second closest relationship in the castle. Mr. L upgrades her and mimi just shittalks all the time while also slipping a few of the shinest screws in her pockets. if she ever gets damaged she ends up going to L to fix the damages
she is the fastest of all the members when on foot. she is VERY fast and even FASTER in her true form. you do not want a 10ft spider robot chasing after you at 30mph. although, when chasing the heroes in merlees mansion, her ass crashed into literally everything while chasing because she doesn't know exactly how to come to a smooth stop when in a packed house.
now for o'chunky boy, one of my silly favs
hes the kindest out of all of them but that is really SAYING something when your competition is the rest of team bleck. he's willing to protect the team and even those that are literally just innocent bystanders to everything. if you aren't the heroes, hes not gonna be doing anything to hurt you, trust.
everyone usually calls him to swat dimentio out of the air since he has the furtherest reach. he always succeeds too. the rivalry between them only persists.
hes usually the dedicated "bring everyone here to this exact room" person because hes always first to arrive and always the first to hear the announcement. so he has to drag everyone else out of their rooms in order for them to listen.
nastasia? nastasia.
nastasia is the person you can always find, no matter where you are. for some reason, you can just find her there conveniently when you need her. how does she do this? shut up, you don't need to know.
amongst the stealthiest of characters, nastasia has to be the first in stealth. her footsteps are completely silent somehow and you can never hear her breathing. this makes it easy for her to sneak up on literally anyone, no matter who they are. she even gives our dear count a scare from time to time.
considering that she is the most responsible they usually call nastasia for the littlest of things. like bugs or broken doors or dimentio being a little shithead. in return, she calls the correct person for the job as her skill range is very limited.
ik yall were waiting for dimentio so here you go
he wanders. like he wanders a lot. you dont see him in the castle that often because hes in the wilderness just nature walking (flying?) and when he is in the castle, hes just wandering the halls, waiting for the next moment to be a bitch.
he teases everyone in the castle, especially count. it never dawned on him until later that the count was blumiere so he took this chance to bully him for literally no reason at all other than spite.
out of all of the members, his worst relationship is with nastasia. they somehow know more about each other than they'd like to. he doesnt talk to her much and when he does, its out of obligation or because he was spoken to first.
here, a few additional mr. l headcanons
for some reason, he always has chocolate on him. (this carries over to luigi too) he just has an infinite supply of chocolate and no one knows where he gets them and everyone is convinced hes more of a magician than dimentio.
he ends up being more active with the group rather than closed off. when he is closing himself off from the group, his door is always open. its an invitation for anyone to come in a chat, even if he says "an open door is not an invitation." it is an invitation, hes lonely.
he and dimentio tend to have small skill show offs. dim shows off his EPIC magic and Mr. L beats the shit out of him with his robots. dimentio still somehow always wins.
ANYWAYS ANON THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME THIS IVE BEEN WANTING TO GIVE HEADCANONS FOR AGES BUT DIDNT KNOW HOW TO FORMAT IT. YOU BROKE THE CURSE. and also being the first person to give me an ask ever. anon if ur reading this? ur literally the best

Do you have headcacons for being sick or injured/taking care of other members of team bleck who are ill/injured?
wwwaaaaaa i love this trope.......
now TECHNICALLY Count Bleck could heal anyone physically because the Dark Prognosticus will provide him the power to do so, but if we discount that.... (unless we're talking post-SPM scenarios - then Blumiere would be a clumsy caretaker)
O'Chunks is the one fixing everyone up since he has the most experience tending wounds and, uh, the best moral alignment suited for it (Mr L likes to poke bruises). he also has an immune system made of steel. he's making everyone soup and scolding them about getting out of bed and entering their rooms without knocking to check on them.
Mimi doesn't get sick due to her physical nature and she's too sturdy to suffer serious damage, but if she gets frayed then it's Mr L having to deal with it. he'd complain but secretly enjoy it from a robotics study standpoint.
Nastasia and Dimentio are the most physically frail and fall ill the most often out of everyone else. Nastasia is highly susceptible to things like respiratory viruses and tends to lose her voice a lot. Dimentio randomly will run fevers when he overtaxes his magic because his internal temperature regulation is actual garbage. Nastasia tends to self-isolate when she's feeling terrible; Dimentio likes to lay about in public rooms and complain loudly about his impending doom and gee won't anyone please take care of him???
Bleck doesn't get physically ill and the Prognosticus self-regenerates him if he gets hurt, but he'll go through periods of mental funk and emotional fatigue that only Mimi's cheerleading can seem to pull him out of.
Mr L doesn't get sick as often as he gets himself injured, but when he does get sick he stays sick longer than anyone else because he insists on working through it instead of resting. It's sort of a joint effort of O'Chunks wrestling him out of the hangar and Dimentio removing the door to his room so he can't keep leaving it.
