Love the idea of Bradley having siblings that he can look up to and feel super jealous of coz they're all probably much older than him and seem like they have their whole lives figured out in his eyes, maybe even already have families of their own. And maybe his parents compare him to them more than they really should, which makes him compare himself more than he should. And maybe he's the youngest coz he was an accident from an anniversary or smthin, so he also compares that too, that he was the only unplanned one out of them all. Sometimes he probably wonders why his parents didn't just abort him or somethin. Sometimes he probably wishes they had :)

He also probably loves his siblings more than he'd ever admit, but there is also that small side of him that just.. resents them all because they all left him. All left the second they could to get away from their parents and left him behind to deal with it. He probably got the worst treatment, too. I agree with most of the fandom that he totally gets abused, physically and emotionally. But his siblings most likely only got emotionally abused, so they think that's the only thing happening to him. Thinking all those scrapes and bruises are from skating or practicing some sport(maybe volleyball since they were playing that in the movie, but I literally just saw someone else add that to their comic and don't want ppl sayin I took the idea hhh maybe he could be in like baseball or soccer??? Doesn't feel right tho)

Anyway, sbling insecurities(I'm not projecting a lil. Shut up)

But I also like the idea that he's an only child. The only one who's there to take over his father's company. The only one for his parents to "focus" on in being the greatest he can be. And also coz this gives good angst with his mom, who probably hated being pregnant with the one child she could bare, and he didn't even get a single thing from his moms side, except the blue eyes. She probably hated that the most while watching him grow up. Watching her only child turn into the man she married(yall know it's gotta be a forced marriage hehe), the man she hated most. And now her own son was turning into him in front of her very eyes. I also really love the idea that Bradley looked up to his mom more than his dad, and was genuinely hurt the first time she said she hated how he looked more like his father(he was at least 13 at that time)

She'd hate her own kid, but also would want to keep him safe from the man he could turn out to be

So much potential with both ideas
