thinking about dick being the oldest sibling
#like obv he is#first adopted yknow technical yadda yadda yadda#but also just all the things that come with being the oldest#he was the first so all of bruce's unresolved issues (ahem all of his issues) are pushed on to him#he has the worst relationship with bruce at first#because he was the first so he was kind of the example and he set it up for all the others but he also got the worst of it#he had to fight all the fights first#but as the oldest he wants to protect the younger siblings from the worst of it#and so he has a relationship built in those bonds of having the same parental trauma (generally) with his younger siblings#hes the brother you talk to about all of the daddy issues because he Gets It#its just the fucking trauma of being the first but the inherent urge to protect the rest of them#also he reminds me of my oldest sister's teenage angst / daddy issues playlist#aka numb by linkin park or even perfect by simple plan#anyway idk if this made sense#it was more organized in my head#im just thinking about the bond that oldest siblings have with younger siblings when the parent(s) are kind of shitty#ALSO this is not saying like 'bruce is a terrible parent' or 'bruce is abusive' or whatever#but hes not the best parent definitely#and his relationships with his kids are reflecting that
