#Younger siblings

[aflamboyanceofflamingos]

My current AU that I will never write is Jason, Steph, and Tim bonding through becoming a cover band

They’re called “Kicked Out” because they were the only ones not given a chance to grow out of the Robin name because of course they would name their band after something angsty

Steph is the main vocalist and plays the electric guitar

Jason’s the bassist and his voice is a fan favorite as well

Tim’s on the drums but he also the one who chooses their arrangements because he’s has the widest range in music taste

But they all know a variety of other instruments

Bruce and Dick have no clue about it because Babs thinks it funny, but Cass, Duke, and Damian know because of the younger siblings code

Babs also helps with some of the more manager stuff

Cass helps with lighting and stage directions, and with choreography when it’s needed

Duke is their song writer when they move on from just covers

Tim and Damian act somewhat civil when they’re working on together the visuals, like merch, promo material, or album covers

One thing super frustrating is how everyone always talks about older sibling trauma but never about younger siblings. It’s always “oh the eldest is parentified and has loads of pressure to be the example of the younger siblings” and you know what I’m not questioning that I actually agree. But people always act like the youngest has it so perfect and they have no problems whatsoever and they get to do whatever they want.

WHICH IS WRONG. Let me explain as a younger sibling. As the oldest sibling, you are treated like an adult far earlier than the others, which leads to the negative side effects of being parentified. As the youngest sibling, you are treated like a child for far longer than the others, which means your parents REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN YOU’VE GROWN UP. Meaning they keep you from doing stuff to “protect” the baby of the house, and this often persists well into adulthood.

And everyone says “well the eldest is pressured to be perfect!” I’m not denying that they often are. Everything they do seems to not be enough. BUT THE YOUNGEST IS PRESSURIZED TOO. Because everyone thinks they’re perfect, they often feel obligated to act that way. Act super nice to awful people when the elder would have no problem biting back. And it makes them reliant on that love and attention and affection. So the moment they do something wrong that sets off their parents, they beat themselves up. They desperately try to please their parents and earn that love back. They become people-pleasers.

I’m tired of people acting like younger siblings are super spoiled and selfish or whatever while the eldest are super self-sacrificing. That’s not how it works.

Talking to my younger sister and she says "I ship them-" and then she stops looks at me and goes "shipping, you know what shipping is right?"

The joys of never really mentioning fanfic to your family members

My little brother just returned to our cabin with his headphones on and his phone in hand I was stormed out of the bedroom like “[H/N], HIIIIIIII! :D” because I’m goofy like that, and he just looks up at me, does the 🤫 face and then taps his headphones and walks past me.

Bro invented a new form of mewing and he ain’t even know the og version. Respect.

idk what the best part is having a younger sibling with a 13/14 year age gap. the fact I can now introduce her to all the silly things I was interested at age 10 or that all the things I was interested in has come back full force. Percy Jackson with the TV show? Doctor Who???? Hunger Games????

My CP- Veronica Kirk…She’s all grown up! No longer a goth or emo but She still wear a Wednesday Addams expression. Also she is not an only child anymore more. She has a sister named Ellen Kirk.

Here is her sister-

(Age- 1) She is overprotective of her older sister!

Veronica is also dating a guy from the mountain corp named Peyton, they have known each other since their school days even though Peyton is about a year older.

Here is Peyton-

being a younger sibling is looking up the tag "younger sibling" and being hit by posts about older siblings' lives.

WHEN IS IT GONNA BE ABOUT ME??

[darkfictionjude]

Jude of the Lake how the ros could act as older siblings assuming an au where they are not only childs?

Also the treatment would depend on the sibling gender or it would be the same?

Oooh I like that nickname love literary references 😌

Imre: he would be closer as children but not so much when they’re older (parenthood Imre, ring any bells?). He would got along better with a sister

Nia: not really be that close as kids but she would defend them against bullies. Finds a brother more annoying if he acts like a typical high school boy with a girl she lets her share her clothes

Lorcan: he would be a very happy and attentive brother. He would be much more protective over a sister, and rough house more with a brother

regulus is a variant of young sheldon and vise versa but yall aren’t ready for that conversation yet.

watching ur younger sibling crash out is funny but when they catch you laughing it’s actually terrifying like um do u need to get a rabies shot or something because why are you screaming at me and chasing me while trying to beat me up all at once JUST BECAUSE I was laughing at you while u were mad

[aero-zebra-finch]

People be like "You worry too much" "You are so much like a mom" "You don't have to remind us things our mother's would"

I'm sorry man it's just the eldest sibling/daughter syndrome

my older sister and i always talk about how sensitive our younger siblings are, and today i realized that they’re just normal. she and i are the ones that are messed up. we were taught to hide our emotions. to not cry over things the wouldn’t matter later. we were told that we were fine, even when we weren’t. ive always been annoyed with my siblings for crying or whatever, but now im grateful that they can without being yelled at. without being told it didn’t matter. i just wish i was like them.
