It pained me every time you said Jonathan instead of Sebastian, because even though Jonathan is technically his actual name, I will always think of Sebastian as the demon spawn and Jonathan as the brother that never had the chance to live D:

Cal and Maven from The Red Queen, that is one of the worst siblings relationship ever.

[@juliaswiniarski3992]

YES TOTALLY

[@panitnanasawinchai8683]

I feel like their relationship are in some ways like Thor and Loki. Just that Maven is wayyyy more messed up than Loki. As much as I hate Maven, I think it was actually possible for him to be good again. And I actually felt bad when Mare killed Maven.

[@hannahmaybe7724]

I feel like if the least favorite sibling list was longer Nesta Archereon would be on there😂

Katniss and Prim Cinder and Peony (don’t ask me why) Worst: Sebastian and Clary ( I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.) Nate and Tessa Caleb Prior and Tris Prior Nesta, Elain and Feyre. Mostly Nesta. Cause I love Feyre

[@ohohnenyeoo2654]

[@katherinehudson384]

"Jonathan Morgenstern" *hisses*

[@Ray-td4tq]

Percy is my absolute favourite character from the entire series. He is so misunderstood and misguided and so so very alone. Bill and Charlie Fred and George Ron and Ginny And Percy all alone. He was so different emotionally and mentally from how he acted to what he did to who he was and the twins often dont know when to stop with their pranks, it becomes bullying. From what we know he never even really had friends either being so different from the other rowdy Gryffindors. (I personally think he would have been better in slytherin.) I think he saw what his siblings antics did to his mom and decided he would help. Even if that was by closing off and discovering quieter interests. All he wanted to do was be the perfect son and give back money to his family. Even if by doing so he became hated, different. He wanted to help. He resented his father for staying at his low paying job instead of striving for more because more could have meant more money, more food, more new things. But his father stayed because he enjoyed it and percy hated him for it.

[@livdanielle]

I feeling like Jace and Clary would be good on the worst siblings list😂😂

[@franciscalopeza]

On the list of worst siblings could be Taryn Duarte

[@salomekekelia1508]

My fave siblings are the Stolls And another pair are Alex and Conner from the land of stories series

[@sairaap4258]

OMG YESSSSSSSS, I feel like no one reads the Land Of Stories but Alex and Conner are AMAZING

[@BookLionQueen]

When you mentioned that you would have the worst siblings on there my immediate thoughts went to Caleb Prior.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Yes I love the song sisters!

[@msyanglove20]

"THEY ARE ALL ONIONS, BEAUTIFUL ONIONS!!" 😂😂😂

[@clarabreuer2444]

“ they are all beautiful onions!” I died 😂

[@Betul-uf2cu]

hey xtine, I really liked this video because it reminded me of your old videos, not the hauls and the stories I ate this months 😊 especially I very much appreciate when the sponsorship happens this way with the videos, not just a mention in the beginning but the inspiration of the video! 💜

[@smileyface1471]

“ It’s so much to hang out with then!” Is such a mood when people ask my why I love characters so much

[@angeladavidson2350]

I love how Caleb didn't even need an explanation. Because we all just know. HES'S THE WORST

[@isabellelovesbooks]

I’m buddy reading Shadowhunters with my bestie, but it’s taking so long, and I really want to finish all of the books before chain of gold comes out, and so I’m stuck between “wait for her” and “go ahead, read it” 😂😂😂 the story of my life.

I love that The Mortal Instruments is in here. It could be about Izzy... it could also be about Sebatian

[@shadykhaled4635]

You can add Tessa Grey and Her Brother also another Cassandra Clare siblings 👌🏻

[@kiraironskin]

I have a sister too and we both cryied at the end of Frozen ❤ "They are all beautiful onions!" Can I quote u on that? 😂😂😘 (have u read Cruel Prince? The dynamics between the three sisters is beyond this world!) I would have loved to hear about the Dumbledoor Siblings here, but it still is a great list and as a twin of course I will always root for Fred and George ^_^

[@allisonbelter1286]

I love sibling relationships so much! When you can feel the love and care between two characters... it's just wonderful

[@fremzzplum5083]

Ah, I knew the Weasley siblings would be up there because the Weasleys freaking slay 😎

[@kaylacopeland6134]

I can’t wait to read your second book!

[@icymoons]

as a sibling myself, Sebastian made it _so hard_ to read through the series. i had to put the book down after every scene with him just to take a breath. *runner up for things that made me uncomfortable while reading TMI:* Clary and Jace's dynamic during CoA and CoG.

[@manvithas6814]

The worst sibling pair was jace an clary. That ruined 2 books

[@toclaire]

I’m not a sister but I love frozen. My family life never affects my reading and story consumption ❤️

I have and always will love the March sisters from Little Women. Their relationships are the reason I read that book over and over growing up.

Sisters Grimm series. Thats got one of the best sister relationships I've ever read. Daphne and Sabrina are the heart of the series. But no one ever has heard of those books.
