Rodrick is the Only NORMAL One in His Family?

Rodrick is the Only NORMAL One?

Hey what's good y'all, hope you enjoy this one and I hope to see you next time. Recently I haven't played too much other than Bedwars for cool clips and a bit of Spellbreak. I'll def be playing Shining Pearl when that drops this week. I really haven't been watchin many show tho, mainly catching up on Pokemon Journeys n' stuff.

Patreon is coming soon, got some cool stuff I wanna share with you guys, so that'll be sick, look out for that. And here my other socials:

Thumbnail Base is from JillianCobre, but I edited it a bunch so it doesn't look too much like the original. Shoutouts to em.

Rodrick: *throws a party*
Susan: grounded
manny: *turns out the power and leaves everyone with no food while in a blizzard because no one taught him how to tie his shoes*
Susan: oh

[Cap_Briggsy]

Greg: sociopath
Manny: psychopath
Susan: karen
Frank: shit father
Rodrick: just knows how to beat the system

[goblinbabe]

If my kids threw a party and cleaned up everything AND replaced a whole door I’d just be impressed with how responsible they were.

[ImDudeRandom]

Rodrick gives "cut my family out of my life after high school" vibes, and I wouldn't blame him. A dad who doesn't love him, a mother who so obviously prefers his younger brother, and two siblings that are their own separate nightmare...yeah, it'd probably be for the best if he just ditched them.

[real._lyphoebe]

Also Rodrick was not even a trouble maker. Dude could have been out there doing drugs but all he ever did was slightly inconvenience his parents and brother sometimes but because his parents and brother act so dramatically over trivial things you would think he was worse than he actually was.

[thegravityguy]

Funnily enough, Jeff Kinney wrote a short story about a guy who plays pranks on his younger brother and some of the pranks are the same ones Rodrick plays on Greg. At the end of the story the little brother stops falling for the pranks and the older brother is proud of him

[Swagpion]

I feel like the kids get progressively worse.
Rodrik - decently normal
Greg - an egomaniac
Manny - demon child.

[cryoraptoratm]

Also, in later books, which I know less people will have read, Rodrick grows out of tormenting Greg; he doesn't even prank him anymore. He's just trying to get on with his life now, and honestly has a very normal relationship with Greg. Rodrick was just a teenager in a dysfunctional family doing things teenagers do, and eventually grew out of it.

[skaikuan]

Rodrick even gave the best advice for Greg, don't talk to anyone, don't go to the bathroom. Greg did the opposite and got embrassed.

[theflyingeyeball]

Not to mention in the movies, when Greg tells his brother that Holly called him Fregley, mistaking Greg for some weird disgusting kid, Rodrick cheers him up, saying how she probably messed up or intentionally got it wrong because she’s into him.

[rodrickheffley]

Greg: sociopath
Susan: full scale Karen
frank: dead beat dad
Manny: psychopath
rodrick: why is my family a disappointment

[douglas]

Rodrick’s not dumb, he’s just misunderstood. He has dyslexia, which makes it hard for him to learn, and he never really hurts anyone in his pranks. He might not be the smartest in school, but he still has a big brain.

[beagay]

I feel like we miss a lot of the cool things Rodrick does for Greg too. Looking at the movies, which are far more neutral than the books, Rodrick constantly covers for Greg and takes the heat for stuff. And we even see that Greg constantly pranks him back too, in usually far more mean spirited ways.

[ShortHax]

Ngl, in the movies Rodrick was the most teenage looking teenager I’ve ever seen

[Purplefloof]

Now we need a diary written out by Roderick and with his perspective of things.

[stanrodrick]

Even if you hate Rodrick in the books, go look at the movies (not the long haul) and Devon Bostick will make you love him. That man played the character so frikkin well.

[approachingetterath]

i like the idea of Greg being an unreliable narrator. the way he describes Rodrick is just how a younger sibling would probably view their older sibling who is going through that awkward puberty phase where everything is shit and being a rebel is the most interesting thing.

[OmegaChase]

That awkward moment when the literal bully character is the most likeable person in this family.

[psychs]

Rodrick is like the squidward of the wimpy universe. You hate him as a kid, but as you grow older you can only relate to them out of the whole series

[justsomeferalminor]

It's honestly a miracle he turned out as well as he did with such terrible parents. I'm guessing his friends are a pretty good support group.
