Headcanon:
Vibhishan would have to tolerate Kumbhkaran and Ravan's aggressive and sometimes violent arguments over Ravan's shitty decisions from his late teens to his adulthood.
He would usually side with Kumbhkaran (who in my retelling was the only guy he could talk to because he was the only other guy who disliked Ravan's assholic behavior) but also like try to calm them down and come to a based conclusion.
Kumbhkaran: YOU HAVE HORSHSHIT FOR A BRAIN. Ravan: TF DID YOU JUST SAY??? Vibhishan: Guys please!
Sometimes V wouldn't even come out of his room because of this, but Kumbh would at times call him out to support him, and then he has to go.
Also Kumbhkaran was the only person who was protective of his lil bro against Ravan. Whenever Ravan yells at V Kumbh yells back at him. "Don't you dare talk to him like that!"
V also would have to deal with Kumbhkaran ranting about his fights to him aggressively and he'd just have to be his unpaid therapist (not that he didn't appreciate Kumbh's venting but at some point it gets annoying yanno)
So when Ravan banishes Vibhishan Kumbh tries to argue with him but Ravan wouldn't budge. V was already intending on leaving but he wanted Kumbh to join him. However, he was skeptical because even though Kumbh would talk shit about Ravan he'd still be awfully loyal to him.
The night before leaving he asks Kumbhkaran to join him but in this hc Kumbh knew he was destined to be killed by Ram along with Ravan so he refuses. V is heartbroken and so is Kumbh. the latter asks him to win this thing, because that is the only way this whole shitshow would end. V starts crying and Kumbh tears up too. He also says V better be prepared cuz he will not hold back in the war against him. He says that he'll love him forever, even if he doesn't feel the same for him atp. V is even more conflicted, mad at his brother as well, but respects his decision and leaves next morning.
HELP OMG ЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШн
*I typed in big words to show how much I am screaming*
ALL OF THIS IS SO TRUE MAN ЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШн
ALSO ALSO It became even harder for him to stay with Ravan when Kumbh was given that curse boon to fall asleep so now he got so much less time with Kumbh supporting him and having his back and Ravan being a jerk towards him
Also nothing else helped because Ravan was like unstoppable and getting even more bigraelu with their grandpa supporting him so V adn Kumbh were kind of the only persons and nobidy could tell anything to Kumbh cuz well he's still strong but V is not so strong so he was the black sheep always
HELP WHY IS EVERYTHING SO SAD ЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШнЁЯШн
Also V had so much heartbreak while telling the Vanar and co. about how to kill Kumbh like that's him brother but ATP that's his enemy and he's loyal to Ram but that's him brother but that's his enemy but that's his brother but that's him enem- sigh
