    Folks without siblings think it’s like a built in best friend, which it is, but it’s one forged in blood, insults, and lies

      Exactly - All best friends are forged from blood, insults, and lies, and siblings are no exception.

      It’s like if you went up to a best mate like, “Hey, Best Friend”

        Reading through all these comments I’m sorry we all went through this with our siblings but I’m glad I’m not the only one, I feel a little less broken & alienated. But what a tragic waste of such a close relative and strong relationship bond, for it all to be nothing but trauma and anger and fighting.

          Yeah I don’t want to downplay how much I love her. She’s one of the coolest people I know and I’m so proud to get to be her big sister, but yeah the crux of our relationship is that nobody else can really relate to my childhood and early adulthood. Nobody else grew up with our parents and that’s huge

      I dunno - none of my brothers are really my best friend level now we’re adults. we’re friends, we enjoy time together, but not my best friend, not the person I go to with fears and worries, hopes and dreams.

      but absolutely best “grabs a shovel and a car when I say I have a body to bury” emergency backup. the brother who doesn’t respond for 2 weeks to a social invite (“hey, sorry I missed your message about last week”) is always there when I say I have an emergency.

        Dude is a gender neutral term. It knows no age limit or maximum. It rejects no profession, it passes no judgement, but embraces all. It is all encompassing. Everyone that wishes to be a dude need not do anything other than reach insides themselves and embrace their dudeness. For we are all dudes.

        Given how prevalent it is, it can be hard to avoid. I’m not into it but sometimes I’m like “OK, I’m tired of trying to find something that fits my description and isn’t incest/incest-adjacent. I’ll just try to ignore that aspect.”

        I never specifically look for it but so much comes up with seemingly any search.

      It’s amazing how little effort it takes to piss off a sibling. You know exactly what buttons to push. Other times it’s like they’ve built up a tolerance to your bullshit so it doesn’t work. One time I farted in my brothers face four times while he was playing on his Nintendo DS and he only acknowledged me because of the amount of farts. “How the hell can you fart that many times in a row?!”

    As my family is Vietnamese, not only do I adress my own elder siblings “brother” and “sister”, I even adress people like that that aren’t my actual siblings at all. Unless they’re older, in which case they’re “uncle” and “aunt”.

    Although, I also grew up without my siblings around and am more removed in aged from them than they are from each other, so there is kind of a distance that a lot of siblings don’t have.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We’re all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don’t like a thing doesn’t mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
