Hi!!! What Is Your Personal Headcanons On Which Homunculi Has A Favorite Sibling?

Hi!!! What is your personal headcanons on which homunculi has a favorite sibling?

Hi Anon! Thanks for sending the ask, this was cool. Sorry it took so long, I hope you like it :)

Pride – Because Pride lived a long time as an only child, he didn’t actually want any siblings at first, because he thought he was perfect enough to help Father without them. He got lonely after at time, so slowly accepted the necessity of Father creating the others. It’s not like he actually had any say in the matter anyway, despite Father indulging Pride when he was young.

Pride watched Father’s design process for Lust, and the long time they spent together before Greed’s creation cemented her as his favourite sibling. He found Greed relatively interesting in his design documents, too, but that went away quickly when he was born because of his personality, but he didn’t hate him until he deserted them.

To go on a little tangent, Homunculi only get to see the designs of those that were made after. Pride got to see all of Father’s designs (except his own) and was able to notice them degenerating, but he’d never admit that out loud, even after the experiment regarding Gluttony’s Gate failed.

Secretly, Pride sees it as himself possessing the most of Father’s real essence, and that the others must have gotten less of it as they went. Hence, Lust remains his favourite, as she is the one who received the most next to him.

Lust – Lust cares for all her siblings, but as her only older sibling, Pride is her favourite. She enjoys getting some time to relax and not have to pick up the pieces after him like with her younger siblings. Of course, she has a soft spot for Gluttony, and Envy too because of how often they are sent on missions together in more recent times. She definitely helps the Homunculi stay together as a family, and they become a lot more scattered and disorganised after her death.

Greed – Greed tried to get along with all his siblings, since it’s easier to get what you want if you don’t cause a fuss. His birth caused a shake up in the 50 year long status quo though, and Pride was a bit of a hardass at first with him, while Lust was the good cop and humoured him from time to time, though Greed still got his share of violent punishments from her if he pissed her off. He was glad to finally get a younger sibling with Envy, but still didn’t have a favourite really. He tries to avoid thinking about his siblings at all after his desertion, and if he does only negatively. Like when he hears about Barry the Chopper in Central on the radio or in the newspaper, Greed spitefully hopes that he’s causing his siblings a lot of trouble there.

Envy – Envy got along reasonably well with all his older siblings when he was young, though he was wary of Pride because of the debacle with the horse racing scheme (though it was more Greed’s bad planning), and his generally aloof nature. As the closest to him in age he hanged out with Greed a lot later on, since he let him get away with more stuff. This tripped Envy up in the end though, since he was so lax that Greed managed to run away right at the tail end of the 4th Crest, and Envy hated Greed ever since. Mostly he’s just now took his place as part of Lust’s ‘even numbered homunculi’ trio (4th and 6th), and she is his favourite sibling. He misses her terribly after her death and turns into her lots of times to try and cheer himself up.

Sloth – No opinion on any of them, really. These days he only interacts with Pride while he’s working in the Tunnel, and before he was sent there Sloth only saw his other siblings (Lust, Greed and Envy) for a few weeks or months after his creation.

Gluttony – Gluttony is friendly to all his siblings, but obviously appreciates Lust best of all.

Wrath – No favourite. They all pretty much teased him when he was young, and because he’s lastborn will always be the baby of the family. They humour him from time to time, like when Lust instructed him on talking to the future Mrs Bradley (but he didn’t listen to her and followed Envy’s advice anyway), but he doesn’t have a favourite between them. I mean, he went through like 35/40 years of being a Homunculus and never even learned that Gluttony prefers to devour little girls compared to other humans.

Nowadays he has Pride living with him and scolding him a lot, so they don’t enjoy living together. Things change a little when Pride starts warming up to Mrs Bradley, but that just means Wrath gets less time to spend with her, so even if it’s less fraught, it’s still an awkward living arrangement.
