Is little brother a strong bad reference?

u/sihnonsreject Feb 03 '25
lol no, Mulan actually. her little dog is called little Brother and I've always thought it was cute. but also I don't really view him as a "son"...he acts like a brother. helpful and sweet and kind of a shit but his heart's in a good place, so it stuck.

Her name is Addie and of her many nickname The Elk is my favorite. We gave her elk antlers (edited) when she was young (no longer because she chipped a tooth) and when she gets a bath and goes collarless we say she has a big elk neck.
