#ahhh looking back… it’s funny because I have two older brothers who’d constantly try and attack me and my younger sister

I have a "torture" for your imaginary kids game au! I don't know what it's called in other countries or if it even exists anywhere else (lol), but in my language it's literally just "nettle-game". It was a weird challenge among children in the yard, the essence of which was that one child takes another child by the wrist or slightly higher with both hands and twists the skin in one direction. The essence of this event was that children tested their childish willpower and pain threshold or smth lmao. Usually it happened like this: one child would approach each other, ask "can I make you some nettle? Or can't you handle it?" and depending on what the answer was, the other child would either agree and endure having their wrist twisted as not to "look like a baby", or nothing would happen, sometimes you were shamed for disagreeing so I always agreed and endured, not my brightest moment tbh. Little Quackity could do that to little Dream ;)

Hmmm sounds like an Indian (or Chinese) Burn, where you twist someone’s arm in opposite directions making it red like a sunburn, which I feel like was more a game of how red can we make your arm until you cry or tell them to stop type deal. Or used as a surprise prank/way to settle your anger… upon research there’s also a game called Slaps where you take turns slapping each other’s open palms, Mercy where the players compete to bend eachother wrists backward, which seems familiar, and one I never heard of called Scabby Queen, where upon losing in a card game the winner would run the deck across the loser’s knuckles or something. Brutal. I remember a thing where you’d go up and pinch people as a prank/almost tag game as they come for revenge. Seems like although I’m not familiar with that specific kids game, there are multiple of similar nature… really making me realize just how violent we were as kids.
