Story 2 reminds me a lot of both of my parents even though they were divorced from the get go. Getting told you're wrong and written off as childish over and over for years does quite a number on the ability to trust your own parents.
Can say this now Writing in a notebook helps a lot better when doing a first draft You are able to just write and not worry about miss spellings, grammar. just free form writing.
Ya never know, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, some things could've been embellished for reader enjoyment, while the majority could've actually happened
Op sounds like an insufferable steretyped jock and while he di not deserve to have such shitty parents I feel like he left out so much about how *he* treated his brother.
@@paxhumana2015 are you OP? Because listen, you gotta learn to take criticism of your writing. No one talks like that in real life! When writing dialogue, you gotta say it out loud and think "would any real person actually say these words?" If you wanna pass off a creative writing prompt as a real event (and I feel that in itself is a little scummy in this context) you gotta make sure it's believable
I only fight with three of my siblings and they get so ugly. And when we do fight it's over the pettiest things because I know if I did that I would get my butt beat but if they did it they just scolded. They are so bratty it is so irritating! I'm sure as adults we will understand each other better but right now I really hate them ( I do love them too ). My mom doesn't believe in corporal punishment but my dad does. He doesn't anymore because I'm a lot bigger and stronger than him.
Lol I'm an only child and have always longed for a sibling- it really does seem like once everybody matures and grows older siblings all become friends😊
Prolly going to be an unpopular opinion but I think op on story 1 is just a jealous entitled kid who wants a close relationship with his parents but doesn't want to do any work to get closer if any thing actively avoiding a relationship while complaining not having one. All my brothers are half siblings so I can somewhat relate. However his conduct from the beginning (at least from how I understand it) has been malicious towards his step sibling.
Being the least favorite child sucks. So saying that OP should have just tried to hide his real personality and act like the perfect little son to his parents like that one annoying employee who tries to cozy up to the boss like the brother did... kinda messed up. "Just pretend you like writing and hate sports." OPs dad called him dumb for not being a writer. OPs brother spied on him and tattled on him all the time. OPs mom knew the brother was wrong and didn't do anything about it at the time. And you're saying it's all OPs fault? If I was always the one blamer for everything, I'd avoid a relationship as well. (All my siblings are half-siblings too, and we never had any issues because our parents treated us right.)
@@armaggedon390 you sound like an only child and no not all the blame is ops his parents showed blatant favoritism later on and his brother turned out be be a little shit too However, op does get a good bit of blame for not trying. You don't have to be a fucking kiss ass to have a healthy relationship with your parents but you do have to at least put effort in and not just blame everyone and everything for your failures. Then again, this is one side of the story Im sure there's lots of missing information that would completely change the narrative.
Am I the only one feeling like OP in story one was really, REALLY, judgemental of their brother ? Like, I get the whole sibling rivalry thing, but yuck, that REEKED of being judgemental to death of him.
@@Haunted4200 I'd argue that while it would make you overly conscious, it doesn't condome the language used by OP in the description of the half-brother interests and past times. I remember hearing things like "stupid" and other such words, which does denote a level of judginess that has, in fact, not gone away with time despite claims that they are now close to each other.
@@Muriuki34 that's true. For sure negative judging. Tbf neither of them had much respect for the other. Everyone has flaws though. They're good friends now, so I'm sure they talked stuff out and got some fresh perspectives.
Im so sad because I know that because I have two siblings my relationship with them will never get fixed. Im always the outsider of the 3 because they have each other. They don’t need me. My entire life is just being a third wheel
OP in story 1 is an utter monster. As a writer myself what he did was pure evil when all his brother did was a mean spirited prank. I hope karma shows him no mercy.
@@TheAlmightyToaster01 I am a writer too and believe the OP in story 1 is NTA. I would argue the brother attempting to make the OP feel like he was losing his mind makes him a gaslighting monster.
Story 1: The revenge wanst nuclear, op could have made the revenge slower, day by day, ruining the brother's life. Im impressed that he could be friends with him, because a lying, spying, love-stealing peace of...work, is very dificult to change, even by the passing of time
OP in story 1 was the a hole. Writing the story to make his brother look like bad one. But he is the spoiled entitled brother. Wow. If the brother wrote this story and told the thing OP wrote it would look like that.
OP was a “second loved” child therefore he gets a bit of leeway for the jerkiness. His father clearly viewed his half-brother as his true son and OP was just his other kid. Then you have OP’s mother that appeared to prefer the half-brother over the OP.
Story 1: Jesus. Parents set the two half brothers to compete against and hate each other. And worst part is they didn’t even realize it.
It was only the father who did, not the Mother. So, you were half-right
You did that to Dante and Vergil
Not really, step kid was trying to fit in, but main kid was just an entitled trash kid.

Can say this now

So using a notebook instead of technology is weird..? I am so confused😂
Story 2 has to be fiction. It follows so many old movie plots that simply get re-told over and over again with slight variations thrown in.
Ya never know, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, some things could've been embellished for reader enjoyment, while the majority could've actually happened
I was expecting the credits to roll and the Disney logo to scroll past.
I also have step-brothers. They are still my brother's no matter how different we may be
In the last story someone's watched too many Disney films.
In the real world 15 year olds are ignored and marginalized, 'evil' wins.
Not if I confront evil and utterly destroy it because no one argues with myself if they are not around to argue with myself anymore.
I'm lucky my kid is super honest with me, so if he ever said something like this happened I'd believe him without question
I always thought writers were not cool people anyway.
Me listening to this while working on my novel-
Well screw you too.
Op sounds like an insufferable steretyped jock and while he di not deserve to have such shitty parents I feel like he left out so much about how *he* treated his brother.
"Very soon I'll show them all who I really am!"
-something that never happened

he's a snitch he deserved that.
Yeah, ultra unaccepting of anyone different to them, "must be sucking up because they don't do stuff like I do".
For sure a tense situation, but it makes sense to be overly conscious of someone who you believe has it out for you.

It wasn't just the hiding the game pads. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
As a writer you should know how conflict works.
@@TheAlmightyToaster01 I am a writer too and believe the OP in story 1 is NTA. I would argue the brother attempting to make the OP feel like he was losing his mind makes him a gaslighting monster.
I would go full no contact with both moms, the dad, AND the half-brother, and make them ALL pay for their wickedness in their lives.
Thanks for the video Steven.
Lmao. You ignore the red flags, keep it secret and then wonder why your dad ignores you. Really
