I'm having a hard time letting go of my head canon that Blaine is a later in life child of Cooper's father with a second wife (not Cooper's mother). That Cooper and his mother moved elsewhere, and Mr Anderson, his new wife, and Blaine lived in the house Cooper grew up in. Blaine gets Cooper's old room, old toys, old home, and Dad. He resents Blaine for all this but Blaine is too young to understand. All he knows is the big brother he looks up to and who visits every other weekend and one school night every other week and for two weeks every summer, who he has to share "his" room with, isn't always very nice to him.

This would explain the shabby house, Cooper's possessiveness over these toys, etc. I know we all assumed Blaine's father had money, from Dalton and his Brooks Brothers wardrobe, but maybe things were tighter back ten years ago when Mr Anderson had to pay child support and alimony. The child support likely stopped some time ago when Cooper turned 18 (that'd be 8 or 9 years ago if Blaine is 10 years younger and is 17 now).

Teenage Cooper may have been an angry kid and misdirected his anger at Blaine if he felt Dad left him and his mom because of Blaine's mother (affair maybe?).

Red represents anger, blue sadness I think. I think that is a GI Joe of Cooper's being repurposed by Blaine, but I couldn't tell if it was half dressed.
