Relationships
.

Tuya Xu and Kyle Gabbler
Joseph had a neutral-to-good relationship with both his parents until roughly around the time Jackson was born in 2012, when two months later, they decided to make Joseph, at 19, take custody of the kids.

The fact that they out of seemingly nowhere left him and his siblings without explaining anything and leaving him to care for a toddler with very little information about what was happening deeply enfuriated him, however, even if he decided to guarantee them he'd not skew Jackson's oppinion of them, prefeering to let him form his own conclusions after finding out. He is aware that Ace knows what happens, and that they asked him to not speak about the issue with anyone.

Joseph doesn't feel indebted to his parents, however, as he thinks he's "Not the favoured child", and that they "Saw him as a tool in that moment". There is little to no respect for them left on his mind, however he does not wish to harm them in any way. He struggles with the fact that he still has, deep down, love for them in his heart, which he wishes to be able to get rid of, but seems to be unable to.

Ace Gabbler
Joseph has a very good relationship with Ace, having worked as a father figure from his brother's age 12 and forward, even if still not being too strict due to his role as a brother. He did not abdicate of their previous brotherly friendship when he had to take care of him, much to his relief. This means that Ace had a very understanding father figure in his teenagehood, due to the lack of a big age difference and circumstance.

Joseph is aware that their parents told Ace exactly why they left. Ace very early on expressed the weight this information had on him, and how much he wished to tell him, but his parents very specificaly and gravely told him not to. Joseph denied the information for the ease of mind of his brother, putting aside his own wishes, since the information itself would probably not be that importat. He believed the harm was done, and that "It was gonna be as it was gonna be anyways".

He is not afraid to guide Ace in his choices, however, often opinating about them.

Jackson Xu
Joe, along with Ace, took care of Jackson more than his parents did, since they left when he was around two months old. Similarly to Joe, he feels a very deep brotherly love for Jackson, as he is innocent in the situation and will probably live all his life without meeting his parents.

He raised Jackson the same way as Ace, often reiterating on the necessity of being true to one's feelings, of feeling free to be whatever you want, kindness, patience and tolerance.

As Jackson grew up, he made his brothers like him even more, as he grew to be pacific and kind, even overly affectionate and sweet towards everyone. Joe doesn't know if this is his personality or the effect of his teachings on him, which frightens him, since he believes in not molding other people's thoughts. He is aware that he was very young and that he could be a bad influence because of this, but decides that "Somebody had to do it".

Similarly to Ace, he refuses to address their family situation to him to allow him to form his own oppinions of the parents, since he believes it is their responsibility to come clean about the issue, not his.

His heart aches deeply when Jackson asks him why they left and if they did it because he was born and didn't like him, since he does not know the answer.

Trivia

 * He has pigmalabiaphobia, more specificaly, a fear of lipglosses. This is due to a friend (link to matheo's page) who encouraged him to try out the cosmetic item, and him having choked on his hair after it glued itself to his lips and got inhaled in.


 * Joe thought of studying Architecture or a course regarding ancient history, but later on decided to take General Medicine and specialize in Osteopathy, since he believes it ties art and medicine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnYHanA5noU
