Fionna and Marshall have their proper families...

Does your version of Gumball have a family?

If so, do you have headcanons (no spoilers from your AU) about Gumball's family?

It's Father's Day here in Brazil, you couldn't have chosen a better timing to ask me that lololol

I know you said no spoilers from my AU but the headcanon in question that I had in mind *is* a spoiler so- (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠) We're rambling about Gumball today, and i'm bringing my own OCs into this again, I hope you don't mind. I did some art :D

My version of Gumball does have a family, it's just,, , a bit of a complicated topic to him.

The candy people are already like his children, I guess he'd refer to them as “one big family” often, though there might be different opinions depending on who you ask. Some of them actually see him as a father figure, others as simply as their prince… I think there’s still a certain emotional distance that prevents them from calling each other a “real family”, so to speak.

Gumball still has Neddy/Nelly in my version, but she's his older sister in this. She's still a big gum dragon who needs Gumball's patience and support, though. The difference is that they didn't come out of the Mother Gum together, only Nelly did. She's the only close relative he has right now.

Gumball's backstory in this is the opposite of PB’s, so instead of coming out of the Mother Gum, he's a family member created to fill a void in his creator's heart instead. He’s a lab baby, 🎉 SURPRISE! 🎉

This is where the OC talk comes in, because I decided to create an oc to be his creator/technically parent/the other older sibling I mentioned in a different hc list about Gumball.

Meet Dulcine, this one tired gum thing who probably has coffee mugs with quotes like "don't talk to me until I finish this cup" somewhere. They also came out of the Mother Gum, and they're kinda like PB if things had gone south. And things went really SOUR-th. Get it? Hahahsgetjhhahahahshdsfs

“I want a little brother”, they said. “I'll get to have someone who's similar to me and test what I can and can't do in my lab at the same time!”, THEY SAID.

And, well, Dulcine does love Gumball to some extent, but they can be pretty mean sometimes, as they didn't have the patience required to raise a child. Or to manage having a lab with sketchy projects in it and a curious, clingy kid at the same time. Dulcine also started to test said sketchy stuff on him at one point... Needless to say that they're not really in Gumball's life anymore.

Ironically, Gumball was able to develop an interest in science and how to create people using candy later in life, despite his bad experiences. And he took over Dulcine's lab.
