from last weeks [livejournal.com profile] fannish5 :

Name your 5 favorite families, from any fandom.

1.) The Gilmores. First of all, this is the only time I have ever seen a mother/daughter relationship that even approaches my own relationship with my mother. Secondly, EVERYONE is this family loves and cares for each other, even if the sometimes hurt each other and screw up. It is clear that Emily and Richard, even after forty years, love each other very much.

2.) The Bristows. Jack and Irina and Sydney, oh my. How could you go wrong? They're like the Gilmores, only with more betrayal, killing each other, sex, and hot outfits.

3.) The Sabaku Nos aka Temari, Gaara, and Kankarou. Admittedly, like most things in Naruto, I think this family may be more awesome and fucked up in my head. However, I imagine that Temari and Kankarou basically got kicked out of the house once daddy realized that, maybe making my youngest into a monster (and killing my wife in the process) wasn't a good idea, and so they kind of raised each other, and then got shoved into a team with their crazy youngest brother, and then, after he realized that killing everybody on the planet wasn't a good life goal, the Sabaku Nos are left to try and build a family out of the bloody, violent ruins of their familial relationships. (And yeah, I ship it.)

4) The Cortez/Winterbourne family. Paige and Lucas are the best characters Kelly Armstrong ever wrote, and the relationship between them and their adopted daughter hits so many of my kinks: the woman being more experienced sexually, the man knowing he's in love and committed to this relationship first, a father/daughter relationship between two people who aren't related.

5.) The Mars Family. See icon. I can't say it better than that.

Hells yes to the Gilmore Girls. Mum and I used to sit down every Sunday and watch it together. That show still means a hella lot to me, even if I haven't watched it in ages.

Same.

Even when I went way to college, we would record it to watch together. And I really liked how Rory ended up going to college the year before I did, and was totally cool about coming home on weekends.
