They are brothers from another mother

Honestly, what does sibling coding actually MEAN?  Ignore the misuse of coding for a second.  You tell me they are sibling coded and I learn absolutely nothing about their relationship

If they are friends and get along too well, they are sibling coded.   If they bicker/fight, they are sibling coded.  Clearly resent each other over something? Ya guessed it sibling coded.

Maybe the reason there is no consistant set of ‘sibling coded behavior’ is because IRL siblings can have any relationship dynamic.  

Raiven looks stunning. Bojan looks like the little brother you have to take with you or your parents won’t let you go.

I'm going to be brutally, bluntly honest and vulnerable for a moment.

I don't have any positive familial connections. I don't have any mothers or fathers, or sisters or brothers or aunts or uncles or cousins who were supportive, or caring, or loving, open or gently teasing to me.

That's why I don't understand at all what people are feeling when they say "I can't ship them, they're like siblings!" or "he's like a father to her" etc.

I can't look at a relationship between two characters-- who are not blood related-- who are supportive, caring, loving, dependable, open or gently teasing and see a relationship that somehow feels romantically taboo.

I look at a relationship that is caring, loving, open, teasing, comfortable, etc and I see romance.

I genuinely don't have a yardstick to evaluate what people are seeing when they see a relationship like that and it makes them uncomfortable to ship because it reminds them of their family. I don't know what that feels like.

And that's why I ship so many things that people call "sibling coded" or "found family" etc. Because I don't look at them and see family.

I look at them and I see the people who saved me from my family.

Sibling coded, child coded, selfcest?! Morality police are working over time. I have some thoughts XD

Sibling coded

Ok. So two completely unrelated people who are close in one way are also close in another way. This is like saying you can’t be best friends with your partner(s)? Or can’t have grown up with someone and then be in a relationship with them? Childhood sweethearts? No? What is happening here someone explain what the issue is.

Child coded

I almost don’t even want to get into how ridiculous and ableist this is… but I sure will! You are telling me people who are childlike in some way, physically, emotionally, intellectually cannot have desires or be sexual or engage in romantic relationships? The “coded” part of this means we aren’t talking actual children here, we are talking adult people. So what is really happening here is people (antis I guess) being uncomfortable with folks with certain perceived traits (again, adults) being sexual/romantic/autonomous and living adult lives. It’s weird. Stop it.

Selfcest

Oh my god. Oh. My god. How is this a thing. Our reality does not have human clones or alternate universe/timelines intermingling. There is no way this is even a thing to get up in arms about. It isn’t setting an example or normalizing or whatever the hang up is with other fictional relationships. But if that time comes boy howdy. I still won’t care.

Guys I think the coolest siblings just pulled up

*AT-ST going rogue and killinf everyone in sight

wrecker: echo?

hunter: gotta be echo :)

this might be a hot take or whatever (AND PLS DONT ATTACK ME) but zuko and katara? sibling coded. I physically can’t see them as anything other than found siblings.

The "Rev Up! Power up!" meme would be perfect for Zuko and Catra....

"It's a lot. This house is stable, strong and can withstand weather but does not rock with it. Like a ship.." he trailed obviously missing the ocean.

"It doesn't move against the tide, I,, I can't smell the salt water and there's so many noises but none of them which I'm used to- and they're quiter. Not crashing waves and the sound of sea creatures of the deep they're soft but so loud?"

He looked up at her now trying to voice his own overwhelmed confusion. The bags under his eyes looked so exaggerated in this light.

Jay put her hand on his shoulder and listened to what he had to say humming to show she kept up with him.

They’re brother and sister your honor

silly miles. silly goofy creature.

i can't believe i have to say this but gray and lyon are not siblings and it is fine to ship them.
