if there was pressure about being the first born ( aka the first boy, the carrier of the family name, etc. ) then either rizo never got the memo or he simply put it up on a wall and forgot about it for the rest of time.
sure, ferdinand would rather that rizo followed his footsteps. being interested in sports then later on being interested in medicine .. rizo never became interested in either, unless it was e-sports or a medical drama he could put on in the background while he typed his time away on his laptop or computer. but ferdinand later realized that rizo could still be successful with his chosen field, even if it was something he wasn’t quite used to.
nonetheless, it doesn’t mean that ferdinand lets rizo get away with everything. the twins’ bickering doesn’t sit well with him, no matter how minute, so he leaves anything regarding that to tani, who was more perceptive and more well-equipped to deal with it. he also just can’t deal with confrontation as well as he thinks he can, but if you ask him that, he’ll totally deny it.
( so it’s safe to say that ferdinand isn’t rizo’s favorite. but he can give a mean glare that rizo’s always appreciated! as long as it wasn’t towards him. )
tani was always going to be proud of her kids no matter what. rizo thought he could probably just stay in the guinto house forever and tani would still think he was cool, but he was fine moving on in life. he’d always love her cooking and her endless well of advice. nobody gives advice like tani guinto and rizo would always try to imitate that aspect of her, though he fails miserably and would end up saying something completely strange in the end.
of course, it didn’t mean that rizo could get away with everything when it came to her, either. not even tani could pick favorites and she always tried to be fair when mediating between rizo and mari’s endless arguments. of course, her time in gallagher have been helpful in her desk job at the c.i.a. but some of it also help when the twins still aren’t talking when dinnertime rolls around.
and mari? well, rizo loves her with all his heart. even if they end up fighting from time to time for the littlest things. rizo considers her the single most important person ( complete with a specialized message in his website .. a will of sorts ) and he will do almost anything for her.
