Diegesis

Behold, the ultimate Sopranos family tree (no spoilers beyond 5x2). For an explanation why or how I made this, I talked about it in the comments of the 5x2 watch along episode. I’ll post a few explainers, caveats and assumptions I made about the tree in the replies.

I made this using familyecho.com. So a few caveats and assumptions about this:

• Brian Cammarata: All we technically know about him is that he’s “Carmela’s cousin”. Since cousin is an imprecise word in this world, this could mean regular 1st cousin, or cousin to some other degre, or cousin removed to some degree (like Christopher), or even just cousin by marriage. So I made a grey line connecting his family to Carmela’s mother’s family, meaning unclear connection. The assumption that he’s related to Carmela through her mother is a fair one though, I think, since if he was from her father’s side of the family, he would also be Christopher’s cousin and by extension something of a cousin/nephew to Tony. This is never acknowledged, so I assume it’s not the case.
• Rosalie’s family: We know she has a sister (Marie) and we know Jackie Jr. and Kelli have a cousin (Mackenzie Trucillo). We don’t technically know Mackenzie is Marie’s daughter, but I think it’s a fairly harmless assumption (and it makes the tree simpler).
• Sibling birth order: In general, I tried respecting the birth order of siblings when known. The only firm exception is Barbara Soprano who is younger than Tony but it makes the tree cleaner this way. But in many cases (like the Apriles, Blundettos, Pollios, Baccalieris), the exact birth order is just unknown so I made some more or less educated guesses (or whatever made the tree cleaner).
• “X family”: Unless otherwise specified (and marked through a grey connecting line), the people directly descended from an “X family” node are siblings.
• Partners: I only included either current (or, in the case of the person being deceased, most recent) partners and/or partners with whom the person had children. Ex-girlfriends/boyfriends, flings, mistresses, comares, they all don’t make it onto the tree (or their connection just isn’t marked, like Richie–Janice). This might seem an obvious thing to do but at one point I had Ralphie (and his family) on here as an ex-partner to Rosalie, but this just opened a can of worms where I needed to include all sorts of former partners and it would just be a mess and make the tree even more convoluted.
• Unnamed people: Unless necessary to make the tree connection work or to explain family names (e.g. Mr. La Cerva), I didn’t include unnamed people like Carmela’s unnamed sister or various characters’ unnamed mothers, spouses or children.

this is awesome, bro!!!

I made a video with my friend to talk about Invincible and I was inspired by you guys to make this thumbnail for it, thanks for the inspiration

About 2-3 times a week I use a super whack Southern American Accent (I’m from the UK) to say “Seats Taken”. It’s from watching Forrest Gump with the ladies and I always envision Arianna saying it - my missus is not pleased with this new repetitive development! 😂

Made this in case anyone wants this as a background

Ay o!…..Ay o!!…radio ga ga…radio goo goo..radio GA GA

Saw this and had to share…

Puss died

Now I truly can’t find Pussy anywhere

Just a kid

Uncle Junior still going strong at 95

I had no idea Richard Ayoade directed this! What an episode. 🤌

Hey everyone, my name is Jadd JA.D.D. Jadd. A few things about me. I am autistic, have ADHD and am pansexual. I love Diegesis. Maple and Arianna are national treasures and people I can be friends with. Please be patient with me. I repeat myself and don’t understand things. It’s great to be here. Thank you
