Responsible older sibling + kind of bratty younger sibling who fight a lot but actually love each other on a deeper level than most people will ever comprehend

that's the shit I love

signed, an envious only child who grew up with a lot of protective "brothers" in other parts of the family

i always wanted a big brother... of course that's not how it works, you can't get an older sibling after the fact lol

I also really love to fix other people's mistakes and judge them after, so Justin was always a mood for me

see i just wound up a weird chimera of mom friend and protective older sibling to everyone i know

YEAH SEE same kind of

I don't mom you because you're already mom-ing me and you can't have two mom friends moming at the same time

brofist for only child sibling envy

my mom has a little brother who's only a year older than me so he and I just decided we're siblings because that's less complicated than trying to explain things to non-latinx people

but we never LIVED together so it doesn't count

his wife is like "no I am not telling my son you're his cousin. You're Tia, okay?"

lol yeah i technically have three brothers but they're so much younger they could be my children (seriously, my godson is the oldest's age) and i never lived with them so. still extreme only child vibes.

lol I still think about the fact Alex wasn't supposed to have a brother and Justin was supposed to be a very close friend instead

I mean in the pilot they were Irish and Justin was the main character

xDDD;; wild

and they had to fight for Selina at all because Disney promised her to a different pilot that ended up not getting picked up

yeah Justin's actor was the buddy in Cory in the house and they were like "you can be a lead in a show" so The Amazing O'Malleys was supposed to be that show, until Disney was like "actually were launching a network for boy shows so now we want Disney shows to have girl leads"

and then Alex
