I Cant Remember To Be Honest If They Said In The Show - Tumblr Posts

I genuinely understand this age gap in a way. Just close enough in family or age, just brothers enough to still have this close bond where you want to be equals in little ways, where there shouldn’t be this dramatic power dynamic, but also the distance that keeps them idolized. Just too old to actually equally share issues and experiences.

Carmy could never be as close to Mikey as he wanted. He would always be left behind and yet probably find an unfair comfort in how much bigger and older and in his eyes better his brother was

I’m going insane over the bear rn because what do you mean Mikey and Richie are like 15 years older than Carmy. That’s insane. Like Richie probably knew this guy when he was a kid. Fucks up their interactions to me so bad because oh my god that wasn’t like some older younger sibling shit. That’s full on like 25 year old adult and like 10 year old kid. That’s not ‘hey slightly younger cousin’ that’s ‘hey baby cousin’. I’m not sane enough to write this out nice. I just need to catch up on the bear and see Richie and Carm breaking my heart being the family ever. More in the tags or something
