And if they’re step-siblings/half-siblings/one of them is adopted (or if they’re siblings with the same two parents, just with different races, gassssp) then they’re *just not siblings enough*.” Yes. People actually say that. Stretch your imagination to include a multi-racial family that’s every bit as close as a monoracial family. You don’t even have to have Mr. Fantastic stretching powers to do it, because it is literally something that happens all the damn time. I know you can do it. I believe in you.
