That pic is kinda hilarious but yeah, it kills me to see/read it too.

Though, it sort of bugs me that 99% of the time the favored sibling is a smug self-centered jerk to the unfavorite sibling about their favored position, instead of being really uncomfortable about being favored, like if they're really torn between wanting parental approval and not wanting it because it's usually accompanied by the parent(s) snubbing their sibling. And/or the favored one being protective of the unfavorite sibling by doing things like trying to take the blame for stuff because they know their parent's anger will be less severe if it's directed at them rather than directed at the unfavorite. IDK I think there's a lot of fascinating possibilities there but usually it's ignored in favor of boring "haha mom/dad likes me better" stuff.

This is true. Lots of opportunity.

And I love Zuko and Azula because it really seems like smug jerk thing on the surface... but as the show goes on you really see how messed up Azula got by being her father's favorite too. "You can't treat me like Zuko!"

You're right about that being more interesting than the usual thing we usually get.

I'd also like to see some stories where a kid starts out the unfavorite, but then their siblings do something that causes their parents to switch the roles around, mostly because something similar happened to me growing up.

The constant refrain of my childhood was "why can't you be more like your sister."

Then my sister hit eighteen, went away to college, and SERIOUSLY went off the rails. She partied so hard that she didn't even make it through Freshman year, ended up getting into drugs, and finally got herself knocked up.

And all of a sudden, my whole family was asking her "why can't you be more like your sister?"

It was hella weird.

[wannabe_influential]

Oh my God, the same happened to me. (Sort of

I was always weird. Then my mom remarried when I was ten, and I got three step-siblings: A former Marine, a nurse who was basically a saint, and an uber perfect younger sibling who was more athletic, academic, and more social than I was.

I always felt like the ugly duckling compared to them, especially the younger one. It was always "You should try to be more like/study harder like/get out more like blah blah blah"

Then the Marine got into a marriage with a drug addict and they fought every night (Some nights ended with him in jail), my older step-sister had a stalker and two abusive relationships, and my younger sib sent some... Inappropriate pictures of herself to a boyfriend.

And suddenly I was the Golden child. I admit, it felt nice at first, but then it got... Sad. Like, they only complimented me when the other three did something wrong, and would always talk about how 'drama' free I was.

Have you seen Yurikuma Arashi? I haven't watched it, but I've heard the favorite sibling in that one loves his sister and doesn't really understand why she resents him so much.
