please reblog if you are willing, i am genuinely curious and would love a larger sample size

Scorpius, being an only child, teaches Albus how to regulate his emotions and communicate better while Albus, a middle child, helps him become more fun and social.

My HC of the LiB's birth order

The thought was rotting in my head since at least a week and I need to get it it out of my system one way or another. So, here what I think the Lords in Black+Webby birth order is from oldest to youngest.

Wiggly : I think that one is pretty self explanatory. He seemingly is the leader of the LiB, he chastised Pokey during the Summoning and he is the one that taught Webby back when they were on good terms. I'd be surprised he wasn't the oldest.

Pokey : He really gives me huge second eldest vibes. Like, part of the reason he's such a control freak is because he knows far too well that Wiggly will veto any of his decisions about their family and all. He doesn't have any actual decision power. Sure, he might be the second eldest of six siblings, but that doesn't mean a thing when your big brother is Wiggog Y'rath.

Tinky : I mean... he's too chaotic to not be the middle child.

Blinky : Out of all the brothers, he kind of seems the tamest of them ? Sure, he's a monster like the rest of them. But I mean, he's torturing his Sniggles and watching drama in his park and that's about it ? Blinky's whole thing is that he The Watcher with a Thousand Eyes, and observer. The quiet one you might forget. So, the fourth child.

Nibbly : Like with Pokey, it mostly is a question of vibes here. Like, I can see him being the second youngest, explaining why he kind of seems the most childish in a sense ? He doesn't have big plans like an apocalypse or controlling the world, managing a whole attraction park or anything. My boy just wants food and that's pretty much it. Hell, his cult sole job is to bring him particularly tasty food (the Honey Queens) and to allow him to walk the Earth a bit. And he doesn't seem seem to be actively leading them. So, yeah, big "youngest sibling" vibes here. If anything, I'm pretty sure the "baby of the family" vibes got even bigger as Webby got exiled and he kind of officially became the youngest of the siblings.

Webby : Again, vibes. Since Wiggly most likely is the oldest, it would make a nice contrast if she was the youngest. That and the fact that in "The Web I Spin for You" Webby said he was teaching her (and, if I remember well) and something about him protecting her (or his witches that were supposed to) really makes me think she might be the youngest of the Eldricht Gods.

Okay I did research, and Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails all have traits typically associated with first, second, and third born children (respectively). Which is perfect because they have the perfect found family trope. (In the live action movies)

First born (Knuckles)- Achiever and leader. Feelings of superiority over other children. goal-oriented, outspoken, stubborn, and perfectionistic

second born (Sonic)- Adaptable, Social butterfly, Dreamer, Generous, Creative, Rebellious, Competitive, Funny, and laid back

Third born (Tails)- Dependent, Persistent, Fun-loving, Charming, Easy-going, and Entrepreneurial

my hands are always uplifted. ready to hold, ready to grab, ready to guide. crossing the street, moving through a busy crowd, following up the stairs. i'm right here. i'll catch you.

i present my habit as almost absent-minded, instinctual. but i know that instinct doesn't make the intention go away, and all of the context and thoughts that it carries.

most of my friends don't take my hand's offering, and that's okay. my little sister sometimes doesn't, too. the point is to be there, not to be acknowledged. if one of my friends would offer their hand, i would latch onto it.

#sometimes though i wish someone would take my hand #not as in i'm here to take care of them #but as in we're a team and they're right there #it wouldn't work if my little sister did it #maybe that's why i hold my hands out to my friends too #maybe it's wishful thinking #i know you know what i mean if you're an eldest sister #eldest daughter #eldest sister #older sister #oldest daughter #oldest sister #older daughter #poetry #feminism #feminist poetry #sibling dynamics #birth order #first born #firstborn

Sorry to only-children. I want to know how—or if—birth order has any affect on treatment of a child.

Shout to everyone who is the least favorite child. I feel for you. 🩷

People on this site always talking about self sacrificing eldest daughters when mine was a malignant narcissist who let me know she wished I’d never been born every day until we were well into adulthood

Eldest children always in their minds are falling on metaphorical swords when statistically it’s been shown that in multi-child households they actually are actually likely to get the most resources and support, don’t face the same amount of sibling abuse, and therefor have better health, mental health, and economic outcomes their entire lives. Get out of here with your self pity

wait i just remembered. on friday we has a "awesome committee" staff meeting which is apparently just a meeting for staff to like. bring food. play games. and bond with each other? and this week we played two truths and a lie

mine were i have only broken one bone and it wasn't even my fault (lie), i'm the youngest of five children (true), and i dislocated my arm six times before the age of seven (also true)

so many people picked the youngest of five children as the lie. one person commented that they thought i might have four sibling but i don't give off youngest child energy or something

what does that mean

what. what energy do i give off. what birth order vibe do i have. i just remember this happened and it has been haunting me ever since

#personal #two truths and a lie #birth order #what does this mean. #my energy is 'adhd golden retriever who is too eager for their own good and also can't stay still for too long' #like even if i excluded my half siblings i'm still the youngest of three kids #i mean i think i give off a very confident vibe (false) because my fellow interns do seem to come to me with questions #i've always blamed the false competence vibe on my english accent though. americans just assume english = smart for some reason #which is super funny bc my family is from northern england #which is traditionally a very working class accent #not the smart posh southern one #also idk if i play two truths and a lie differently than other people but. i was prepared for cross examination. #no hesitation i was expecting people to ask questions. what bone? when? how did you break it? #but apparently that isn't how other people play this game #idk to me it's an improv game!! you have to convince people of all three! #also rip sorry to bill who worked in DCS for a time i promise i was not an abused child i was just clumsy as fuck with weak ass joints #he was like 'uhhh i hope that last one is the false one bc my work history means i get worried!!' #m8 the only time i actually remember dislocating my arm happened when my sister literally just. pushed me off the arm of the couch #i just landed wrong #we were watching tom and jerry and did the game kids do. where i sat on the arm of the chair. she pushed me off. #i sat back on the arm of the chair. she shoved me off. rinse and repeat until i dislocated my arm #sometimes you're a child and you just like being surprise shoved off of things onto the floor #some of the other times were just like. i tripped while holding my mum's hand. my mum did not let go of my hand. #and my arm joint decided to side with gravity i guess #actually the six times before the age of seven is a slight exaggeration. it was before the age of 5. #5 or 4 #shoutout to the 'click clack moo' book i had that received the high honor of getting my from-the-doctor-panda-sticker attached to it #ALSO do people play two truths and a lie with their lie being like one (1) tiny detail in an otherwise true fact being the lie?? #i just straight up lie. i just say something that has never once happened to me #if i say something you know to be MOSTLY true about me then the whole thing is probably true

I recently did a video about oldest child syndrome, or commonly referred to as eldest daughter syndrome on TikTok. When I made that video, the comments were overwhelming about the youngest child or the middle child, and common personality traits, facts, problems and signs. So let's dive into the youngest child. We've seen all of the memes, we've seen all of the jokes about the youngest child. The reality is our sibling order can have great effect on our personality traits and sibling dynamics. So whether you're the youngest daughter or youngest son, you may have youngest child syndrome or problems that your other siblings may not experience. Have you experienced any of these specific signs? What has your experience been with the youngest child or having a younger or baby sibling in your household?

People talk a lot about being the oldest sibling and it’s cons, but people don’t talk enough about being the youngest and it’s cons. Having to practically raise yourself and fend off your older siblings. Being alone with the parents as a conscious teenager. Rooooouuuuugggghhhh.

ASTROLOGY AND BIRTH ORDER

Did you know that when you are conceived you have energy tied to your sibling position? Find out more here to learn more than just the first child, middle child and youngest child. Everyone is covered as an individual in this post!

This theory of mine takes into consideration all pregnancies. This means secret children and miscarriages. After the 12th child, the cycle restarts.

In psychology there is a theory about generational first borns. The theory is by a psychologist called Alfred Adler in which he talks about how birth order influences personality¹. He adds a little bit on other factors that influence birth order because not all families only have the eldest child, middle child and youngest child.

He noted that if children have an age difference of more than three years, subgroups with different dynamics may form(Brennan,2018).

This means, if there is a three year age gap between the first born and another, that child becomes a second generation first born and anyone after them takes second and third born. Then if there is a three year age gap between the second generation first born and another child, this child becomes a third generation first born and so on. This is why you see large families seem to have groups amongst siblings.

Most experts agree with Adler, but place the age gap at five years(Brennan,2018).This theory (by Alfred Adler) is my inspiration for this Astrology theory of mine.

1st Born

Energy of a leader, doing things quickly and easily pissed off. The parents expect the child to know and also have little to no patience with this child. Even if the patience is there, they tend to have more patience with future children.

2nd born

Power of the voice. They are vocal and their voice stands out. They tend to be stubborn. They don't want to be seen and treated as the first born so they do things differently when they see how unfavourably (in their eyes) things planned out when the first born did something. They like comfort.

3rd born

Has a lot of information about what's going on. They are drawn to matters pertaining early childhood education. This might be because they have observed a lot and want to do things differently for other children so that they grow up better. They tend to be two faced. Things are black and white to them, it's one or the other. They tend to be known in the neighborhood. If they live well then the community will be their "family" as they will have many "siblings" and "cousins".

4th born

Very loyal. Too loyal to others it works against them because they end up seeming too much. They do things that mimic a mother with unconditional love. Their loyalty never wavers. They stand by you to death. They love taking care of people. They forget themselves. They don't know how to be selfish. However, some are only loyal to themselves because they feel like nobody loves them. Like their elder siblings get all the love and attention but they get nothing. They then become extremely selfish it mirrors itself as greed or actually turns to greed. They die never seeing what's wrong with how they chose to live.

5th born

Love fun and the spotlight. Are childlike. Might be bald or have wonderful hair. Even if they do not, they will have a persistent relationship with hair. They want to be worshipped and when they like someone they treat them like a God. When they are not recognised, they burn everything down. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned is what describes them when they feel disrespected or not recognised.

6th born

Record keepers and they do well where growth happens. If it's farming the land or growing hair, they do very well. They always have that one thing or person they hold on to like their child, they never let go. That one thing that they feel they have "grown", will never be allowed to leave their side. This one thing tends to be stolen or tricked away from them. It becomes the opposite of who the sixth born is, almost unrecognisable. Different but powerful/full of life.

7th born

An obsession with relationships. The relationships will always be what this person is known for. Some relationships may last but others won't. They are in and out, always changing. This is not about romance. This is about every single relationship such as work, school, friendships, neighborhood. They find it hard to sit by themselves so they look for that missing part of themselves in others. Their focus should be on their relationship with themselves first, but they tend not to see that. They end up this way because by this time their parents are not active parents or giving everyone enough attention. They have six older siblings who are like "deputy parents". With the parents, they have eight different people "parenting them". They then live their life looking for what they could not find at home, in other people. Because the eight were not consistent, neither are they in their relationships.

8th born

While the seventh born looks outside, the eight born brings inside. They are very susceptible to losing themselves in occult matters and superstitions. They may believe that they have no hope or future so they do things that kill them slowly. They are drawn to the darkness. They get addicted to drugs and substances because when under the influence they feel like they are in a better place. They end up in debt and mismanaging people's money. They are unable to handle large amounts of money, their money ends up going to other people. Their parents attention, love and money has always gone to other people. Now their money is doing the same. They are their own poison. They are the prisoner and prison warden. They are also secretive.

9th born

Philosophers, travellers and those who always get opportunities in different places. They are philosophers because they have grown up watching ten different people. They have observed how everyone lives and dissected their choices. They learn from others mistakes and never make them. Because of this, they tend to be very smart and successful. They go out and keep observing other people in the world and learning from them. They do not make common people's mistakes. They do not do what others are doing. They find themselves traveling but this is normal because they are naturally drawin to learn. They don't know they are drawn to learn and that's why they keep going to different places. The key for them is to find peace, happiness and flow. The people around them don't have that and they may not know that those are the three tings they should learn. Avoiding everyone's mistakes does not guarantee the good life. Learning from peoples good choices helps too. Looking for mistakes everywhere is not helpful, suspicion is not a good colour to wear.

10th born

Everything has been done for them. All they need to do is make a choice. For these ones, their choices are binding. The choice they make becomes their fate/destiny and it is close to impossible to change their life after their choice. They also tend to look for their prominent male figure in others.

11th born

They tend to be distant. They are far down in the family anyway, so they do things from a distance and are actually humanitarians at heart. They have powerful communities but they don't know that. Their community can either make or break them. They are foresighted and give good advice. They can direct you to something, somewhere or someone amazing.

12th born

They feel unseen and believe they are invisible. They are also intuitive and have vivid dreams they they believe. They get away with a lot since their parents have a "soft spot" for the youngest or can't even be bothered. They think they are invisible. They also have unseen illnesses. That is, mental and personality problems. If they do not, they are drawn to places and people with. Because their intuition has proven them right severally, they believe they are powerful. They also believe their dreams are messages. You find some of them becoming pastors/prophets and it works until they involve greed. The moment they become greedy, their intuition and their dreams change to nothing helpful. They take on the role of Jesus trying to save/heal everyone. They end up just like Jesus but without the honor, resurrection and promise of coming back. They tend to be criminals, patients in mental facilities or workers there. They develop spiritual psychosis.

you know what, the only birth order thing that matters at all is this theory i have, which is: older siblings will be naturally drawn to form friendships with people who are younger siblings and vice versa.

i’m a youngest sibling, and literally all of my friends are older siblings. their other friends also tend to be younger siblings. every time i’ve brought up this theory with someone, it’s been correct. there’s something here, people.
