so, they're catholic, there's eight kids ranging from 40 to 25, a bunch of different personalities. kate's the baby and tbh probably most of their siblings favorite (likely half because she's funny and cute and half because she's the baby haha). one of the brothers is gay, and since he came out their parents have changed and become a bit more progressive, even begrudgingly voting for hillary and then Biden, but they're still religious. in spite of their differences i picture them being pretty tight knit although be design, like, the younger ones don't know the oldest ones super well and probably only got even remotely close with them once they were all adults.
