Found Family in Star Wars
What I really love about Star Wars is how much of the fandom is fully into the found family trope.
Like, lots of people may complain that Din and Grogu is the most generic trope that Disney could have gone for, but that’s how it always was. How a lot of the fandom truly sees Star Wars for.
Aliit ori'shya tal'din – «Family is more than blood».
The Vode. The biggest family you could have asked for. Thousands of overprotective for each other brothers, who are ready to make anything possible for each other. Waxer and Boil almost adopting Numa (yes please). The Bad Batch that are literally five older brothers taking care of one little sister.
True Mandalorians. Like Jaster Mereel, Kal Skirata, young Jango, Walon Wau, Mij Gilamar, Vhonte Tervho – all of them stay true to Resol'nare, be it an au with no Kamino or with it. You get 1 True Mandalorian within a radius of child in distress and now you have an angry buir ready to kill. It is literally in the marriage vows – We will raise warriors.
The Jedi Order. They have their flaws (who does not?) but they are one huge dysfunctional family. From Crèche masters, Knights, Masters, Guardians, Younglings and Padawans. They protect their own. You can say anything about «no attachment rule» but I feel like having an amazing lineage with lots of padawan-siblings, masters, uncle/aunt-masters, grandmasters that ground you must be an amazing feeling. We do know that the Jedi still fail their own in lots of ways, but like if there were no Sith and they were living not in the middle of the Republic imagine how more peaceful and truer to the code their lives would be?
The Corps. We don’t get a lot of information about them but I adore everyone who writes, shares headcanons, draws them. They are still Jedi, though they have different specializations. They give aged out younglings new purpose and they stay true to the Force. To be honest, since the Corps do not live on Coruscant I believe before 66 they were definitely even more attuned to the Force then the Order (cause again, one annoying Sheev)
The Ghost Crew. Do I even need to say anything? They are an amazing family that pulled through a lot of obstacles (and sadly losses). They all lost something even before getting together but staying together was their biggest strength.
The Opress brothers. Even though we did not get a lot of Feral in TCW we got enough of Maul and Savage. Even with all of the evilness and full sith-crazy mode they were brothers till the end. If it was not for Dooku and Sidious (and well mother Talzin and nightsisters) they would be still together and be strong.
The Original Skywalker/Solo family. Han’s and Luke’s brotherhood even before romance with Leia started. Leia and Luke bonding even before they knew they were blood family. Chewie protecting his family, even the Droids like C3PO and R2.
And the list goes on. I probably missed out on a lot of families so if you want to add some to the list – do reblog/comment!
In the end I just want to say that even though a lot of people say that our fandom is one of the most toxic ones I still adore everyone who spends their time writing, drawing, doing cosplay – literally anything fandom related. Even if you don’t create and just read – supporting creators makes all of this worth it.
Please, continue creating more stories about any characters, any family, anything that you love in this fandom. There always will be people who will appreciate anything you do to help our fandom thrive.

Arthur Kelly and George Harrison, 1959; scanned from The Beatles: The Authorized Biography.
“Arthur Kelly and I have been friends since we were about twelve. We went to school [Liverpool Institute] together, and even then he was quite hip.
The funniest result of my friendship with Arthur is that Sybil Burton’s discotheque club Arthur is named after him although she didn’t realize it at the time.
The whole thing started when I was asked at an American Press conference: ‘What do you call your haircut?’ I just said: ‘I call it Arthur’ because I knew this bloke, Arthur. Then the club was named after my haircut Arthur, which was named after this friend of mine! Arthur comes to stay at my house sometimes. I like him because he’s not a drag.
But some of the people I used to know are a bit funny now. I just have to say, ‘How’s it going then?’ and they start going off about ‘Well there’s no need to ask you how YOU’RE getting on.’ Arthur’s not like that.” - George Harrison, Sunday Mirror, December 19, 1965
“‘One day George came home and said he’d got an audition, at the British Legion Club in Speke,’ says Mrs. Harrison. ‘I told him he must be daft. He hadn’t even got a group. He said don’t worry, he’d get one.’
George did get a group for his big night at the Speke British Legion. He got his brother Peter on guitar, his friend Arthur Kelly on guitar and two others, one of tea chest and another on a mouth organ. He himself was on guitar. They all left the house one by one, ducking down behind the hedge. George didn’t want all the nosy neighbors to know what they were doing. They [calling themselves The Rebels] got to the hall and found that the real artist hadn’t turned up. They had to go straight on and play all night as there was no one else there.” - The Beatles: The Authorized Biography (1968)
“We did stay friends for a long time. He tried to help me get an acting job when I first went down to the Smoke and he would always come and see me even after they became famous. It was my fault we lost touch because I started to feel a bit alienated by all the famous faces he’d introduce me to when I went to see him. In the end, I felt it must be a bit of a drag for him to have to tout me around.” - Arthur Kelly, Liverpool Echo, October 9, 1982 (x)

SO! I NEED HELP! FROM THE UNDERTALE FANDOM
Y'all know how a series needs a big bad, a villain with bad or good intentions In a bad way, just like underverse with x gaster or like epictale with epic!gaster, and I'm searching for a villain, something big a threat to the whole multiverse, but I can't seem to find one, and I feel like making one of my own is just hogging the spot light in what is a series about inclusion of ocs, SO PLEASE! Nominate some villains! (And not like something like nightmare or errors, those two have been overdone the hell out of, tho they will still be major antagonist in the series, spoilers)
REBLOG TO SPREAD!!
