    What.



    Because I don't want him to be mad at me.

    Nothing. He leaves tomorrow, and this is exactly like the other times. We just rant about to eachother when we're the only ones around and pretend everything is okay otherwise.

    ION: just walked downstairs humming. First thing Brother says to me after not seeing me for a few hours is "Shh!"

    That's why you learn to make him bleed and feel intense pain. Vital skill for all siblings, sisters especially.

    Hah. He is so lucky you're not a brother. Or at least that he's not related to me.

    If he mistreats you that much when he's not "mad" at you, what are you actually losing by angering him? Aside from him apparently being beyond reproach for things like trying to get you all killed and taking out any pedestrians with you.



    I wish that the women in their 30s that I attract could figure that out.

    Granted, humor, self-deprecation, and being generally bigger than most people are my only defenses.
    Yeah, Im kinda expecting a MooniestrikeTm to land on him. But moonie wouldnt do thyaaat. Moonie strikes seem to be reserved for me.

    August, he wont let me talk loudly in my own house, anywhere in it. Firstly, that would mean he'd have to wear them all the time, secondly, it's not the sound that bugs him, it's just his latest game of controlling me, thirdly, he already has a pair.

    Oh, I know exactly what would happen if my brother was trying to make me shut up. I'd tell him to **** off and turn up the volume on whatever I was doing. Or just mock him. Hell, it works on my sister (who just gets angrier and walks away when I mock her)
    <giggles>

    Yea,h but I really don't want him mad at me. I know what it's like to be the bad one because no one understands why you can't help your craziness sometimes. And I know how much he means to me, and I don't ever want to hurt him. And I don't know if he'd get hurt if I did that.

    Well, if he's too immature to deal with like an adult for making you feel unwelcome in your own home, you kinda run out of options that don't just make him and the situation worse. Granted, I'm assuming he's of an age where his moral development is basically fixed barring some kind of traumatic event.

    I don't know your father, but that's pretty bad if he has any sentimentality towards his offspring.

    Only if you're slitting their gizzards or something. In my experience, girls have always had the ability to make me bleed in surprisingly minute amounts. Something to do with the talons they're encouraged to grow, I imagine.

    Why would anyone want to even talk loudly in the first place? At least at home the only moderately loud sound is the silver bell for calling, everything else uses either the intercom system or just means walking and politely asking.

    Also, why not wear them all the time. As for controlling games, why not simply get a gag if it is about controlling sound?

    Some of us are large hams who are loud in every way by default.

    Trying to force us to be quiet requires lots of child abuse when we're small or just results in conflict escalation.

    Even then, voice control is simple, also by usual circumstances the larger a ham the more are the odds that will be the person in control.

    Well, yes, to a certain extent. But once you've been trained to project your voice it's going to be audible even when you're imitating softspoken mumblers and not being especially loud. But people will still complain as if you were running around shouting.

    Usually we bite, scratch, and get rather unpleasant when people try to do that. Took a good chunk out of my brother the last time he tried to do that. Didn't try it again. Granted, we were like, between 5 and 9 at the time.

    OT be honest, I'm kind of surprised by everyone's reactions. I had assumed that everyone has heard me complaining about him at some point by now, and this is actually a pretty good visit by our standards. Christmas was a total nightmare.

    Oh, no, he hasn't actively attempted to strangle me since he was 17 (or 16?), and that was only the one time because he was mad at me for taking antistressy valerian pills.

    My parents and I don't fear him, we just are depressed about the current situation, and none of us want to make it worse. And I don't want him mad at my parents because I recognize how incredibly heart-breaking it must be for their kid to act in such a manner. He hasn't called them by anything but their first or last names for years, refuses to hug my mother (dad doesn't even try anymore.), and is basically a total creep. It's just... we love him, and we know what he is capable of doing that is good, and he is a reasonable facsimile of an adult, apparently. He just doesn't act that way at home.

    Well, it's the thing with him wanting to control you. For me at least, when someone tries to control me, be it by fear, force, or subtle manipulation, that's a tear-out-the-spine offense. I am MINE and NO ONE ELSE'S. When I do what someone else wants, that's an act of unforced generosity, and anyone who thinks they're going to FORCE me to do something has another think coming. So while it is almost certainly less offensive to you, I will always sympathize with those who are being controlled.

So while it is almost certainly less offensive to you, I will always sympathize with those who are being controlled.
    <hugs> I see. Thank you.

    My parents and I don't fear him, we just are depressed about the current situation, and none of us want to make it worse. And I don't want him mad at my parents because I recognize how incredibly heart-breaking it must be for their kid to act in such a manner. He hasn't called them by anything but their first or last names for years, refuses to hug my mother (dad doesn't even try anymore.), and is basically a total creep. It's just... we love him, and we know what he is capable of doing that is good, and he is a reasonable facsimile of an adult, apparently. He just doesn't act that way at home.



    Thank you. <shoots/destroys/setsonfire some apples off of the trees outside the bathroom window to relieve stress.>



    Thank you. Uh... why? I mean, thanks, and yeah, he's being annoying now, but this is still a reasonably good visit for him. Thanks anyway! :-D



    Sorr,y I meant you house's wasn't enforced. Here it is.

    Not quite sure what you meant there...
    Generally, this behavior isnt SEEN in non-evil alignments. To use the obscure D&D terms we all know and love, at least. (I actually... Flucuate alot between them. Like, literally I feel Chaotic Good or Lawful Evil/Nuetral/Personal-Code alignment, and generally not any others. But blurghle.

    I actually have only heard you mention brother like, 4 times tops. And then never elaborated on. I didnt even know he was *age*.

    I dont hesitate in saying that he, despite how dumb this sounds, still loves you people. In his own way,he appreciates you guys. If he acted decently to his family, that'd show it, but who knows. Des he ever talk about his life much? *annoying personal and intrigued questions wouldgo here buti took em out cuzthey intrusiveish*

    but Moonie, *hug*. Really, *hug*. Also, my feelings on control are... Smilar enough toD's I dont feel i need to state them.

    Oh.

    Yeah, he's that age. Kinda surprised I never ranted about him before. Meh. Probably was too occupied with FDS.

    Of course he does love us! Well, me. None of us can tell about Mum and dad, but I'm on the best terms with him of anyone in the house.

    He never tells us anything. And ask away, if there's anything I don't want everyone to know, I'll just switch to PM.

    All I'd heard before tonight was that he was a social recluse who had no social skills and was a supergenius. Not anything like... this...

    More akin to, it used to be enforced until it was no longer necessary. And have you considered family therapy?

    Oh. Hmm. See prior comment about FDS, I suppose. Sometimes there's only so many things one can complain about at once, I suppose.

    No, my brother hates my family, cannot properly express his emotions, and is a total creep, who we thought was going to completely fail at life after he failed his fifth year of high school, until he just packed up because it turned out that all the colleges and jobs wanted him desperately anyway.I grew up with a huge inferiority complex and issues involving having to deal with PTSD parents, my dad dreads his return because of the way he gets treated, and my mum, who has been around him longest (Dad is technically his stepfather), is hated by him for being his mother.

    We love him early, but it gets hard sometimes.

    He refused to go, and now he doesn't live with us, and the rest of us all get along fine with eachother (with the exception of when I get into a minor fight with Dad that gets me hopping mad, so I rant about it to Mum, who then turns completely psychotic in MY favor to Dad, which means I have to put aside my own problems with him to protect him from Mum, which means those can never be resolved, and Dad has to deal with his wife and daughter alternating between being furious or defending him... But that's not all too common, it's only happened a few times in over a decade.)

    Nah, I don't have one of those things, I think I have the opposite, really. Either that or the permanent headcold is doing doubletime.

    Wuff. In this neck of the woods you just have a small funeral and quietly amend the will. :/

    Granted, around these parts, the funeral might have actually been literal, considering....

    It's good to know I'm not the only one.

    As for chat, leave the tab open. I went on a couple of times earlier, and I didn't see hide nor fleece of you.

    Generally when someone wants to be dead to their family or just wants their family dead, there's a mock funeral and the person is written out of the will or sometimes a will is drawn up simply because they're so cussed.

    I'm reminded of a certain song by certain non-shoe wearing pianist/rock and roll nerd about children with a certain condition which is replaceable by something which is not so much a symptom of Asperger but an entirely different psychological condition which does require separate treatment.
