i just saw a post by someone i’m not naming about how since rose and dave didn’t grow up together they wouldn’t act like close siblings, would actually hate each other instead, and i’m here to say uh no? incorrect. if anything the isolation of their childhoods would make them even closer, if intensely awkward about learning how to communicate their sincere and growing affection for each other. three years together on the meteor? after the massive trauma they’ve been through? the homes they grew up in? they’d be attached at the hip within the first few months. touch-starved, emotionally stunted kids with a sudden much deeper connection to each other. ecto siblings, family, best friends before all that and now? the only other human they have anymore, alone in the void and grasping for something familiar, warm, human to combat the literal alien of their surroundings. earth is dead and they’ve got a long journey ahead of them and a knot of repressed issues the size of the meteor. no one else can understand that, just their sibling, just their closest and tentatively most trusted confidant. they can’t bring themselves to say it until much, much, much later, but they love each other before they can even consciously understand that sort of care for someone.

td;lr rose and dave are not only great siblings but best friends and sort of really in love and no one can ever tell me otherwise
