petition to stop using “found family” in reference to any piece of media that includes an ensemble cast
#angel.txt
#this isn't meant to be negative nor is it motivated by anything big
#i think i just saw a post the other day that was along the lines of ''i just love a ragtag group of misifts'' and i was like oh
#a lot of things that i have seen grouped under ''found family'' have that sort of vibe
#like there is... a Difference. between found family and friends and maybe even chosen family as well
#like.. star wars rebels is found family. tales of arcadia is chosen family. the owl house is friends
#and even when it comes to smth like tales of arcadia it depends on the characters?
#like blinky as jim's dad is chosen family similar to how strickler as his eventual stepdad is chosen family
#but something like douxie + jim + claire + steve is friendship
#or even smth like merlin + douxie feels a lot more like a mimicry of familial structure combined with a mentor/student dynamic
#than it does any sort of found or chosen family
#not every group is ''found family''
#and i get its more of an all-encompassing trope name more than anything else but i also just. idk. think there should be a distinction
#wow this got long lmao apparently i have Thoughts
#i love all these tropes sm but i just. i simply wish they were given more distinction
#bc lumping every kind of non-biological group dynamic into ''found family'' kinda dismisses each of their nuances and complexities
#media analysis & critique
#i think i rb'd a similar post awhile back with a bit of an aro lens?
#idk lmao
