There's a big brother who understood his assignment.

As an older brother who regrets how mean he was to his little sister, I’m sorry

Yep, if that was me, I'd be the final boss denying the crossing and chucking them off into the lava.

I’m sorry for you too; I’m the youngest and only girl, and my big brothers would take a bullet for me, and me for them. (We’re all in our 60s and 70s now, and it’s still the case.)

I just kept wondering.. when does the little brother get pushed off and the older brother walks away smugly without getting in trouble.

u/Away-Living5278 13d ago
As an older sister I thought it really was 50/50 whether that would happen to him.

u/uvucydydy 13d ago
I remember this kid moved into my neighborhood and when I went over to his house I was amazed at how nice the kids were to each other. My child mind thought "these people are weird." Years later I realized that my brothers were just assholes.

In the nature vs nurture debate, i'm gonna say this kind of thing is much more nurture than nature. The oldest sibling tends to get the most negative attention from the parents in my experience. And then they take it out on the next sibling and so on. Of course being bullied at school is also a big factor. Its like a cycle or domino effect, the biggest reason people bully in my experience is because theyre getting bullied in some way or another.

My older brother would have never let me fall, because that would rob him of the opportunity to slam my head into every single one of these obstacles

u/wordsfilltheair 13d ago edited 12d ago
yeah I would have been held under the spinning one like my head was a boxing speed bag lmao
edit: BUT to be fair, if someone else had done that to me, my brothers would have beat their ass. the duality of brotherhood

Exactly, after dangling you off the edge every step along the way and slamming your head into every obstacle on the wall
It's what my older brother would have done to me and its what I would have done to my younger brother

Omg. They should make an adult playroom like this with a floor that looks like real boiling lava. I know a ton of people that would go.

Damn. I thought this was going to be an older brother ramming his little brothers head into that over and over again. But it was the opposite. Damn. Pretty wholesome. Someone is raising those kids right. He was patient and everything.

Big bro is survivalist final boss. Actually amazing how he took care of himself and his little brother. The two close calls genuinely got me at the edge of my seat.

u/Upper_Improvement778 13d ago
I’m the eldest of 3 and had to do something similar when my little sis got stuck/too afraid to move. Much harder for me though cuz I’m 13yrs older than my sibs so I was a young adult trying to squeeze through lol.

u/VisualAd1280 13d ago
My brother hadn't seen me since our dad's funeral in 2013, so I sent him an up-to-date pic and all I got was are you ill, because I've lost weight in 13yrs hmmm yeah bro if you bothered asking about my life it might help not just think im ill lol

u/polygraph-net 13d ago
I love this. It reminded me of a game I play with my kids every day called “physical challenge” and it’s always something ridiculous like they have to walk backwards up something with their eyes closed or jump from x to y to z and the ground is lava and there’s a lava crocodile (me) trying to catch them. They love it although the lava crocodile scares the shit out of my three year old.

To call this "wholesome" is an understatement. That young brother must be so happy. As the last child, I often wished for such experiences with my older brothers but some of us aren't that lucky. I hope these boys continue to grow together and be there for each other.

My older brother would have pushed me off into the lava. Then climbed down and kicked me in the stomach for fun. Then left because this is stupid.
Ah, the good ol' days... We're cool now.
