I absolutely love how Brick turned out. I was super into this piece, so much so that I didn’t realize how late I was up working on it. Brick is one of my favorite characters in my AU and even out of it. Can you tell who he is in Web Of Lies? 🕸

“oh shoot they wrote another essay”

its been a little while just. bear with me okay? this was originally going to be like, just the first paragraph. um. >>

you’d figure that for a kids show a lot of the content would be fanon rather than canon (Rowdyruff content even more so). But something i like about this fandom is that the characters are simple enough to build off of, but ‘developed’ enough for every little headcanon to make some sort of sense.

to expand on this, the Rowdyruff boys are something similar to evil counterparts. or clones. or, whatever. So they are basically just,, portrayals of the girls in a more negative light? I think its really interesting to think about what the boys would do if they were put in some of the situations the girls were in.

the girls aren’t the most fleshed out either, but they have basic traits and behaviours that i guess any 5 year old would have. and keep in mind, 5 year olds are far from being ‘developed’ in real life. But it still kind of sets a (very rough) blueprint for the rest of your life, and we are shown how they react in different situations, which may still apply when they grow up. Of course, behaviour can drastically change based on certain experiences which i think is what makes this fandom all the more interesting. everyone has slightly different ideas of how they would grow, so our perceptions of the characters are all slightly different.

I’m gonna expand on this !!  (upbringing and relationships) >>>

while the puffs and ruffs share the same traits, a large difference between them (other than the whole ‘Good vs Evil’ thing they’ve got going on) is their upbringing. Generally, the way you grow up (and cough the people around you cough) reflects a lot on how you turn out. not necessarily the kind of person you will be (in the sense of Good and Bad), but again, how you act. Behaviour can actually mirror nothing about how you feel and your morals (Brick and the trouble with internalising), but it can simply shed light on how you were raised. 

okay, i start to get a little vague here. this isnt a headcanon post which means i cant get too specific, but lets talk more about Him. Or, if its more to your fancy, Mojo. Or both, or neither. I’ve seen and read a lot of stuff from this fandom, and I’ve never really seen consistency between pieces on how they were raised, and who by. And while i have seen the rrb portrayed roughly the same throughout (with the exception of boomer, i made a post about it a while back) there are these little things that change. Whether theyre ruthlessly evil or have kinda mellowed out, whether theyre forward and confident, or not so much so. Headcanons for the boys behaviours most likely reflect a little about how you imagine them to have grown, even if youve put little thought into it. And because they could have grown up in so many different environments and circumstances, the amount of character interpretations are endless; but they could all make sense.

Now, back to the concepts of ‘Good and Bad’. Or rather, Good and Evil. Something common throughout this fandom is the idea of an rrb redemption. Some people see this to be due to influence of the girls, and some believe it to be due to something else. (vague, sorry!.) but if we focus on the girls influence, this begs to question something else entirely; did they grow up together? If the ppg can influence the rrb so much (and vice versa) surely this plays a huge part in their lives? And this is disregarding romantic relationships completely, as to simplify things.

but see, any relationship with anyone can have an influence on you. And this is where the ‘upbringing’ and the ‘relationships’ arguments clash. How will the rrbs relationship with their parental figure(s) influence them? and how will that coincide with the ppgs influence? And, well, the questions keep piling up, because were they even with their guardian(s) by the time they met the ppg? and was their relationship with their guardian(s) good or bad? (i could go on for ages when it comes to this question...)

Every single interpretation of the boys is, at the end of the day, not too far from canon. It sounds pretty crazy because, lets face it, theyre not even remotely relevant. But because their ‘parents’ are, and their ‘counterparts’ (or whatever the fuck) are, theres a lotttttt we can infer.  Its like a fill-in-the-blanks game.
