All the other sensates in the world are minding their own business, trying not to get their brains cut open, and then the Aug8 Cluster is running around like madmen screaming and trying to fight people and getting on the news and having matching million view youtube videos of themselves making impassioned speeches and all the other sensates are canonically just thinking “Who are these lost, wild children? Where did they come from? Why did no one tell them the rules?”

I like to think that eventually word trickles down that these are Angelica’s babies and everyone just nods, like, yep, that checks out. There are the normal sensate genealogies and then there’s that little disaster zone that nobody touches anymore. Angelica’s kids are the ones trying to tear apart BPO with their teeth? Makes sense. More power to them. All us normal folks are going to be over here, trying to, y’know, survive. 

If Angelica is the Sense8 gang’s psychic Mom, does that make Jonas their flaky stepdad, just trying his best but always messing up? Do they need to be getting him a card? “You told our mind meld progenitor to kill herself and since then you’ve only betrayed us, like, twice. Happy (stand-in) Father’s day!” Is Whispers the sensate equivalent of their Mom’s creepy ex boyfriend who everyone hates but who still shows up at parties and tells them to call him Uncle Milt? 

For that matter, what’s the technical sensate term for a cluster that isn’t yours but which shares a “parent” with you? Clearly there’s some relation there, so what’s the word for it, is it a sibling cluster? 

Logically, would Jonas and Angelica’s sensate “father” be their sensate granddad? You could go pretty far back with that- all the way to the origins of sensate history- and since they have some collective memory sensates might actually be able to track their single line of descent all the way back to the first of their kind. Is this all going to end with them making a psychic family tree for sensate social study class?
