I know we know next to nothing about this other than the parents were out of the picture by the time Branch was a baby meaning they'd have had to have either died or left maybe 2 to 3 years at most prior to the band breakup.

so yeah based on nothing but your own HC what do you think the other Bro zone members childhoods were like?

​

as Branch really kinda Drew the short straw being born last with such an age gap between him and the others meaning they all mostly grew up together.

and presumably with their parents as well and didn't break up with each other until they were all teenagers.

whereas Branch's childhood was entirely separate due to the age gap so he was just a baby when their parents left the picture and when the family broke up and was just a little kid when their Grandma died.

​

and of course Grew up alone Hiding in his Bunker most of the time and avoiding other people.so it makes me wonder what the other Brothers childhoods were like in comparison?

​

like if this ever happens to get brought up in conversation in the future it could either be that their childhood experiences were wholly different to Branch's in a good way.

making things a tad awkward as they all have these fond memories of each other and of their parents from when they were children and most of what Branch remembers from his childhood is either just him and Grandma or just him on his own Hiding away.

​

or the other option is that Bro zone's childhood was actually Different in a bad way like maybe their parents were straight up Bad selfish people who neglected and mistreated them.

leaving it mostly up to Grandma to Raise the kids and of course JD when he got old enough so they basically had to play the parent Role to the others even years before the parents actually left the picture.

and this actually in a weird way gives Branch something to Bond over and Relate to with his older Bros aka crappy experiences lol.

​

since maybe he thought before that everything would have just been smooth sailing for them during their childhoods and even a part of him was a bit jealous over it but he realises he was wrong in that kinda thinking.

​

and they all realise their family has always been pretty Broken and crappy Right from the start and in a way they themselves followed in their parents footsteps.

by running away from Responsibility when things got Hard but they all make a promise to each other to stop that and that no matter what happens they all won't give up and leave the Family again.

​

IDK just an idea I had when thinking about Branch's Differing experiences to his Brothers what would you like to be the case in Regards to the other members of Bro zone's childhoods? if we do ever find out in the future.
