I have always hated "blood is thicker than water," as if somehow there was no substance to the bonds between unrelated people. I like your framing.
I also like your comments on body positivity. s.e. smith was the person who first made it clear to me that "love your body" can be oppressive, and many people have given much thought to it since then, all of it valuable.
