okay but sarah celebrating tommy every year for mother’s day
#who needs a mommy when you got a tommy#the first time shes does this its preschool teacher maria’s idea#shes four and mothers day is coming up and its usually a hard time for her so joel lets maria know just in case she has any behavioral issue#miss maria is like 🫡 i gotchu#she makes sure to emphasize to the kids that families are all different#they spend every day of may leading up to mother day reading books exploring diversity in families and talking about what mom really means#that it doesnt have to be the person who had you in their tummy or a girl or even a person we call mom#for example miss maria’s real mommy wasnt so nice growing up so miss marias TRUE mommy is just her daddy and her auntie rose#because those are the people that loved her no matter what and kept her safe and taken care of and fed#thats all mom is#it just means someone thats there for you every day and loves you and cares for you#someone who is one of your favorite people and who would say the same about you#all the kids go around and say who they think are their moms#mosy say some iteration of ‘mommy’ and ‘mama’ or ‘grammy’#but then baby ellie says ‘tess and auntie marlene’#and baby sarah says ‘uncle thommy’#one of the other littles says ‘daddy and miss maria’ 😭#and they all make heart cards for their mommy firgures#they cant write or really read anything but a few letters yet#(even though hyperlexic baby sarah does have pretty incredible letter recognition for her age)#so they tell miss maria what to write on their cards and then decorate with oil pastels#sarah’s says dear uncle tommy thank you for being my mommy you are so funny and i love when we play horsey and princesses. happy mommy day#when he picks her up at the end of the day shes like HI MOMMMMM all giggly and hes like ????? hi???? whats this???? OPEN IT OPEN IT OPEN IT#and when he does and read it he literally drops to his knees to hug her and cry#because theres really nothing more precious than his little angel his baby his best girl#thats tommys DAUGHTER DO YALL UNDERSTAND??????#miss maria watching them from the cubbies like: godDAMN theyre so cute#the next day tommy brings her a oat milk chai from her favorite coffee shop as a thank you because it meant a lot to him and shes like ????#how did u know???? and hes like my brother and you ran into each other there last week yeah? he told me abt it i asked for your order#and shes like 🥹🥰🫠 thanks

Omg I love you oc more than life itself tell me about Dots brothers please 🥺 it doesn’t have to be as in-depth but I want to know
anon ilysm
Tumblr media
James (Jem) McCarthy
Obv ndn on his moms side, Jamaican on his Daddy’s
Oldest Boy 18-21
He/Him-Binary Trans man
Came out when he was a kid genuinely was not a big deal as they already had Trans Aunts and Uncles and so his ma already had an understanding of how to handle it
Just graduated when the series starts
Dating Dots friend Ismail they’re t4t (they’re intersex and nb, he’s trans)
Staying at home and working in his Daddy’s garage for a couple years before going to college (is gonna go with his little brother Sammy when he’s ready as neither want to go alone)
Is constantly fixing Grandpas old car. He and Sammy work on another fixer upper together and have since he got it when he turned 16. It’s a classic and it’ll run eventually 😔
Very protective of his little siblings but due to the fact he’s over at his Dads half the time he misses a lot of the issues/drama ect and he finds it a lil alienating (not that you’ll ever catch him complaining)
Loves his Daddy and Papa but doesn’t live with them because he’s too scared to live w/o any of his siblings. He’s terrified of losing them after his little sisters Esma and Ruth died. With Dot being sick and there being little ones at home along with the looming reality of his grandparents age he can’t bring himself to leave quite yet.
Sneaks into Dots room with Sammy every night to check on them. They’ve done this ever since they got sick. They talk about their day, eat snacks they snuck in under the little ones noses, and just genuinely be their age for a little while
Good cook did a lot of cooking growing up and learned a lot from their papa (he teaches home ec at school)
Helps at the store when and where he can at the store but it’s just not his thing. Can make the furniture if needed but just lacks an artisan touch. Decent sewer however and helps Dot on commissions (Sammy is better than him though so he tends to get out of it)
Genuinely just a really cool dude. Popular ect
Usually in charge of taking his grandparents places. Very good at cards due to this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sam (Sammy) McCarthy
Year younger than Jem
Autistic
Obv ndn on moms side, Dad is from Hong Kong, his parents met at a protest (his Dads a reporter) they clicked and 9 months later he was born. They never really dated but they’re very good friends
He facechats with his Dad every other day (he facechats with his grandparents on the other days)
On the Blind Spectrum
Cishet but in a valid Disabled gnc way
Really into fashion and makeup and drag and likes experimenting with his gender/presentation even if ultimately he considers himself a cishet dude
Has a YouTube/TikTok channel where he does a wide range of content from makeup tutorials, diy videos, sign covers, book breakdowns, and asmr and stuff and it’s relatively popular, he doesn’t consider himself an influencer but like. He is. He loves bringing his siblings and gf on the stream to talk with because he just thinks they’re very cool and smart
Helps his bro with his car and stuff actually p good with “manly” things as long as he has a lil help figuring it out
Ok cook was kinda the only kid who didn’t have to cook because Jem and Maria did all the cooking and once they didn’t Dot did? But excellent at helping people cook 😭 very good kitchen company
Very shy outside of his online persona. Dot and Jem are extremely protective of him due to how sensitive he honestly is. Will cry if he accidentally steps on an ant.
While there were some jerks at school most people left him alone due to sibling interference (and honestly when he’s not busy being shy he will say the bitchiest thing to your face if you annoy him enough)
After his sisters died he genuinely shut down a bit a lot of his shyness came from that trauma and he still goes non verbal if he gets overwhelmed
Really really likes snakes and has a pet one.
Will forget he’s shy if you get him to start telling you animal facts
