#yeah. Than’s family sure is something. The Phobias are already a nightmare (no pun intended) without getting into their adopted siblings

🍎🙌 Thanatophobia?

Link to the OC ask game here! (Asks are still open for this!)

Hiding this under a cut because it got long, although who’s surprised with Thanatophobia’s family!

🍎  - What is Thanatophobia’s relationship with their parents like?

Thanatophobia was raised by both their Darkrai father Eclipse, and Yveltal parent Velta, an unusual occurrence for the Phobias as most of their other ‘parents’ only lent Eclipse their power to help create them!

Than is quite close to Eclipse, despite not living with him full time as a child, and still visits him often now as an adult! Out of all their siblings, they seem to be the most aware that their father’s self-imposed isolation has took a toll on him mentally, which has led to them hiding what their sister Thala is doing from him - they know it’s not the most honest course of action, but they don’t want to be the one to hurt him by making that revelation to him, and they just hope they can persuade Thala to stop this on their own before their father has to find out.

Velta and Than are also very close! Velta always wanted a biological child, and while they never got the experience of hatching Than from an egg, they’re close enough for the Yveltal! This led to Velta often spoiling Than during their childhood, and even as an adult, although not enough so that Velta’s other children would feel left out! Their relationship however becomes a bit more strained once Than’s mortal siblings begin passing away - Velta is accepting of how it is, as they are both loyal to their job as god of death, as well as now being used to this part of parenthood, and is just glad they got a chance to raise them as children. Than however, sees Velta’s unwillingness to do anything as a sign that they never really cared, and begins pulling away from their relationship - something that hurts Velta immensely, although Than seemed to have been counting on that. Hopefully the two can reconcile in the future…

🙌  - How many siblings does Thanatophobia have?

A lot. A lot of other Pokémon would see Thanatophobia’s large family and shudder, let alone the fact that they’re the eldest on both sides. Than however doesn’t mind it, as they seemed to have inherited both of their parents’ love of children, and genuinely care for all of their siblings a lot! (Even if they can be very headache inducing at times!)

From Eclipse’s side, they only have six: Thala, Astra, Astro, Acro, Tryp and Dia! Out of all of them, they are the fondest of the youngest two, Tryp and Dia, although they’re spending a lot of time with Thala nowadays… Despite being very disappointed in their sister’s less than ideal actions, Than still cares for her, and ultimately wants her to stop before she attracts the attention of someone more powerful than her who is far less merciful…

It’s harder to count how many siblings they have on Velta’s side, as they are constantly adopting lost children and abandoned eggs to raise, but they do have a younger Banette sister that they are especially close to - Bani! Than has even made Bani a couple of skull themed accessories to put on her witch costume so they can match!

The Phobias are already a nightmare (no pun intended) without getting into their adopted siblings #they likely do make back up with Velta though and understand that their parent is just doing their job! Than is just grieving VERY hard and #seeing Velta carry on like nothing was wrong hurt them a lot… #I would love to say Thala doesn’t get into too much trouble. On one hand I am considering her getting off with a verbal warning (which tbh #can be terrifying coming from a god) and cleaning up her act. On the other hand she has the potential to get herself into Quite Some Troubl
