And then you got warhammer 40k writers
Yeah the primarchs do it, and it’s kinda weird. But they are inhuman monsters that have to serve as generals and politicians, so I forgive them.
When space Marines do it the it’s kinda like how priests refer to each other as brother, but also battle brother is a rank.
I think it is also there to make things seem more theatric/dramatic. Like just how many books start with a dramatis personae? We’re not reading about people, we’re reading about characters in a space opera. No matter how you look at it, it’s still pretty silly.
It’s gone full circle and there’s a 40k version:
Hail, Honorable Battle Brother! Holy Terra calls for the aid of our chapter!
(I actually know very little about WH40K beyond what one can learn from AlfaBusa in TTS)
7 out of 8, if you didn’t say you weren’t in the larger 40k community I would have thought that you were.
Since we’re taking a poll in these comments, my go tos for my brother are “Hey Brotato” and “Hey Broseph”, while my sister gets called her shortened first name (which she doesn’t even go by, and hates, haha). Only time she gets sis is if I’m feeling silly and yell “Oi Sis!!!” with a vague cockney or pirate accent for some reason.
I like brotato. Never heard that one before.
Be amazed:
Hello friend
Hello to you as well my friend.
Hello friendos.
I just use my sibling’s first name most of the time.
Oh I literally almost never use my sister’s name. Like not when I’m talking to her and also even if I’m talking to other people I’ll just say my sister. Sometimes I say my big sister which confuses people because I only have one.
My sister started calling me “little brother” about the time I got taller than her. Before that we were just using first names.
Same, but every year, they get a shorter and a longer nickname.
me too
Luckily, though an only child, I had plenty of friends with siblings and I quickly caught on to that ‘sis’ or ‘bro’ was never used in anything except the most facetious fashion.
Maybe we should just stay bad at writing siblings. Let them keep this one, as a treat.
How do you call your cousins?
“[Name]”
We just called each other cunts
Found the Aussie
Me and my sister call each other “trash” (sounds better in our language). We constantly make jokes about the other being trash (I.e “I gotta take the trash out” with a subsequent “why do you need to go out?”) etc.
We’re in our 20s
Me and my brother call each other trash in English.
I call both of my siblings shitass (or poopbutt when their kids are around) because my dudes guess what they do with their asses
Have you seen Reservation Dogs?
First time one of them said shitass my family just looked at me as I went
hey shitass wanna see me speedrun?
My brother always says “hey little sister” to me though…
that’s kinda sweet
Unless if they’re actually a brother.
maybe they’re just very supportive
My bro used to call me shitpants (in German) and I callt my cousin lovingly “little shitpants” Also been called clevershit a lot by my siblings (which was fair ig.) But when things got tough they had my back.
Pantshitter, mein Froind. Nix shit pants. Klugscheißer ist aber auch hübsch.
All my siblings are way older than me(only lived with one for 4 years), and every one of them besides my sister has greeted me as little shit at some point.
i have a lot of siblings, and the only time ive ever called any of them “sis” or “bro” is when my older step brother and i make fun of the “step bro” memes
make fun of
Uh huh. 🧐
Weird. I greet mine like Mufasa on the edge of the cliff. “BROTHER!”
I have yet to be thrown to my doom.
My brother and I greet each other by straight-up shouting each other’s names. Sometimes we go back and forth in increasingly-angry tones, before finally ending with a sweet and gentle, “… hi.”
“Sup, bitch.”
I was partial to, “Hey, fucko.”
It’s called exposition. How else are lazy writers supposed to explain the relationship?
I pretty much always answer phone calls from my other (also adult) siblings by saying “Heya sister/brother”
