not to nancy hate on main but this is literally her acknowledging that her brother's best friend going missing and then dying was traumatic for him but then never being shown to actually try and TALK to him or even do ANYTHING about it, and remember this is a tv show, there is no 'offscreen', thats like the whole mileven offscreen atraction bs, if they wanted to show nancy caring for mike they couldve, they made time to show jonathan caring for will even tho he wasnt even in the show in s1.
yes nancy had her own shit going on but i just think the recurring pattern of her not being shown to care for her brother is very interesting

I saw a 'sibling bonds are more interesting than romance' post in the wild and OP had a R/WBY icon - yes they're entitled to their opinion - and considering I was thinking about this discourse earlier today and told myself not to complain about it because there's no use fighting shadows on the wall I am now cosmically contractually obligated to complain: I don't understand why people so breathlessly compare everything to romance. Sibling bonds are not romance. Well. One hopes. I don't know why there's this constant competition to say xyz is better than romance. Are you saying sibling bonds better than friendship? No, for some reason it's always got to be some posturing about ~people obsessed with romance~.
It's because it's the chief structured genre for human relationships and soulmates, which I sort of get, but it's not like fantasy enjoyers are out there complaining about science fiction... it's not like they're actual genres in competition. Generally a sibling does not take the same role in one's life as a lover. One hopes. The Borgias might like a word.
And I do broadly agree that existentially one's life is not solely defined by romance, and there's plenty of room to explore human ties in fiction. Except it always seems to be that the fractional presence of romance incurs anger and suggests that there's nothing else to a character beyond their romantic/sexual ties. For some reason.
Like yeah, I do get it, sibling ties are special in nature - who can grow me a new brother? - but it's not like a new theme in fiction, it's very Cain and Abel, it's biblical, it's mythic. It's actually so all-encompassing that unlike romance it is not really limited by genre at all. But I think the main thrust of OP's point was really more about ~soulmates~ and the inability to escape family, which is sort of, well, not actually true anyway, so who's universalising whose experiences now?
But anyway, opinions, opinions, opinions. I'll just never understand the attitude the mere presence of romance incurs. It might have a predominant presence in fandom but that's pretty much the only space it's kind of tacitly accepted, and even then only on certain platforms - you're not going to be received as nicely outside of traditional shipping spaces.
