    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:
    Twitch: twitch.tv/latenightpies
    2nd Channel: LateNightPies Gaming
    Thumbnail Base is from JillianCobre, but I edited it a bunch so it doesn't look too much like the original. Shoutouts to em.

      It can be traced to rodrick as why Greg treats rowley like that since your relationship with your siblings defines how you treat your peers. If anything this just makes it less forgivable for rodrick to treat Greg like that when he’s clearly showcased he can treat his friends with dignity. Rodrick is just a bully and when ppl are bullied they look to somehow lower to punch down on and that’s exactly what Greg does to rowley.

      I think that's a really interesting moment personally. In the book, Greg ends up playing the board game the money is from with Rowley, and he ends up taking it all and stashing it under his bed. He starts exchanging it slowly to not arouse suspicion, but when Rodrick ends up finding the money, he takes it all and tries to trade it all at once, which Susan immediately recognises as impossible. I think that shows just how little Rodrick thinks of his parents. He truly believes that his mother is dumb enough to give him a thousand dollars for his counterfeit Mom Bucks.

      Rodrick knew that the Mom Bucks situation was flawed if she could just pay them in fake money instead of having a normal allowance, leaving room for her to actually scam her own children out of money + a system where Greg or even Manny could just get fake money and ruin the system furthermore
      Cashing them all in at once busted a flawed system and made sure no one would be spoiled. If it didn’t work, they’d go back to normal money. If it did, he got a free payout.

    I think Rodrick is just trying to make the best of a bad situation. He's realized his entire family has several screws lose, but he realized he could take advantage of that. Rodrick knows that he and Greg are essentially forgotten by his parents, so he can take his stress out on Greg. His parents don't approve of his musical career, but he uses it to keep them away from him. When your parents go away and leave you alone, of course you're going to have a party, and he was responsible enough to not leave the house a total wreck. I think it's possible Rodrick noticed the way Manny uses social engineering to get what he wants, and Rodrick learned that he could exploit his parents as well to keep them from making his life hell. Overall I'd consider Rodrick very smart and cunning. He's aware of his situation but he's able to survive without losing his mind.

      I'd argue that while yes it is manipulative it isn't 'bad' or unusual. Manipulative isn't always bad, if it was your high school persuasive piece would be considered 'bad' as you tend to use slightly manipulative tactics while persuading someone.
      I'm not excusing manipulation of course, however you can manipulate someone lightly without it being toxic or bad. The main factor of this is how frequent and how severe it is.
      Gaslighting someone to make them question their own memories or pressuring someone into something they don't want to do is bad

    It should be remembered that, regardless of how Rodrick acts, he's still a child. As such, his behavior is mostly determined by how his parents have treated and cared for him. If he should be doing his own essays, his parents should put their foot down and stop doing them for him. It's THEIR fault for not setting clear rules and boundaries, and punishing Rodrick if he crosses them.
    I guarantee that if Frank had refused to do Rodrick's essays from the beginning, Rodrick would've sucked it up and written it himself after _maybe_ the first few tries, if that.

However, the ways he tries to become popular don’t work out so well. He also often neglects his best friend on his thirst for popularity, making him a terrible friend.

Another sign he is a calculated genius is that his memory is amazing. He was able to recall an event from before he was able to talk.

    I can only hope he wises up to the fact that his entire family is a toxic nightmare and he moves away, cuts contact, and becomes a rockstar.
    Also, who the hell names their kid "Rodrick?" I had literally never heard of that name before up until I read the books, I have never heard it since, and I do not know of anyone who actually has that name in real life. I honestly thought it was made up for the books.

Obviously everyone cheats or breaks rules. But he tricks people vs manipulates.

    Well in my opinion, Rodrick tormented Greg in his childhood and his mom and dad did nothing about it so Greg wants revenge by doing the same things to Manny but he can't so he resorts to Rowley. Rodrick is kinda spoiled but not as much as Manny.

      Nah, he’s mean as fuck- if you don’t mean to hurt someone but you do, you still need to take accountability and stop, Rodrick doesn’t, he takes pleasure on bothering Greg even more. That’s the problem

    FINALLY. Someone has said it! Greg breaks all of Rowley's toes bc of the dumbell thing, takes his job away, make's that one student bullied in school by pretending Manny was calling him bubby instead of himself, and fricking STALKS Heather. Rodrick does normal teen things like prank people on the street, throw loud parties, and prank his siblings, and he's the villain of the story?
