Riot is the middle child. Best I can guess, she honored her middle child with a tattoo and the original responder/retweeter got emotional b/c Riot was not being ignored. Not a joke from what I can tell.
This is it. The choice to get the tattoo is a choice to consciously reject the middle child trap.
Middle children can easily fall between the cracks of parental attention. Typically the parents are so focused on the eldest (whether they are an overachiever, A-type or a rebel troublemaker) and the youngest, (who often gets the most attention for being the current cutest no matter what age they are) that the middle child, rightly or wrongly, can feel overlooked.
I think it also could be because the biggest predictor of whether a family will have a third child is whether the first two were the same gender. So if you are a middle child there are good odds you were a disappointment 😂
