  • they’re using it wrong. They’re going upwards with it when bloodline is a line of descent. So your parents are not in your bloodline, but of course that’s not what we were talking about since they directly said “Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood.” Since they’re including grandparents to infinity, your uncles and aunts are in that bloodline. You can read my comment for more…


  • "all the members of a family group of people or animals over a period of time, especially when considering their shared family characteristics: " - cambridge

    “(usually of animals) the line of descent; pedigree; strain.” (what you’re talking about, but you’re reading it the wrong direction) or " all the members of a family group over generations, esp regarding characteristics common to that group; pedigree" - dictionary.com

    “A person’s bloodline is their ancestors over many generations, and the characteristics they are believed to have inherited from these ancestors. You can also use bloodline to refer to the ancestors of animals such as racehorses.” - Collins

    “1. (usu. of animals) the line of descent; pedigree; strain.” “2. ancestry; family.” - Random House Kernerman Webster’s College Dictionary

    “One’s ancestors or their character or one’s ancestral derivation:” - The American Heritage® Roget’s Thesaurus

    “the descendants of one individual; “his entire lineage has been warriors”” - WordNet 3.0

    The problem here comes from the fact that you are reading your definition and going upwards, rather than starting at the top and going downwards. Line of descent goes downwards. It’s literally in the definition you gave. So even your parents aren’t in your line of descent, because that’s going up. But if you are talking about a bloodline from your grandparents then yes, you and your uncle are in that bloodline. cause that’s what line of descent is.

    so no… “Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood.” is incorrect. If you are counting mother and father and their mothers and fathers all the way back then yes, your uncles and aunts are in that bloodline.

    Or you could argue it’s sparse in detail. If there’s a ladder why the fuck can’t I climb it? Why does it fucking need yellow paint? Can you imagine being new to video games and you try doing random normal things and they don’t work and they you try it again in a different location and it does? It would be infuriating.
