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
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.
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
