when he's lazy / everything irritates him "back off." "I'm really in trouble right now." "Seriously? Is this why you came?" "DIY, not small." ✦ when he turns on the "older and smarter" "Listen here, little one." "Trust me, I've been there." "You're doing everything wrong right now." "Don't thank me later." ✦ sarcasm / teasing "Wow. Brilliant. I just applaud you." "Yes, that will definitely work. (No)" "Did you understand what you said?" "I'm too lazy to even comment on this." ✦ when he tries to act cool "We're almost done with the track." "You wouldn't understand." "It's not for everyone." "Normal music, not what's on your playlist." ✦ with a girl (Rodrick-style flirting) "What are you here again?" "Are you always this problematic?" "Don't piss me off." "Come here." "I didn't even invite you." (and doesn't leave) ✦ when he's jealous (but hides it) "Is he serious? Is this your level?" "Yes, talk to whoever you want, I don't care." "Are you going to take much longer?" "I could have chosen better." ✦ almost sincere (rare) "Don't do that." "Write when you get there." "You're weird." (in a good way) "...stay." ✦ when he manipulates Greg "Hmm... I wonder what dad will say about..." "If you don't want to, don't do it. Don't complain later." "It's in your best interest." "Come on, hurry up."

✦ 1. He is smarter than he pretends to be. he may seem stupidly lazy, but in fact: quickly reads people understands how each person reacts knows where to put pressure Just: he's too lazy to use it "normally" ✦ 2. He has a good memory for “important” things. he forgets: lessons promises affairs but remembers: what did you say in passing what annoys you what do you love and can issue in a week:

• You don't like it. as if by accident. ✦ 3. He can't stand looking weak. This is a real trigger. If: he is put in an awkward position some people see him as "not cool" especially in front of a girl he immediately: becomes more aggressive caustic is closing ✦ 4. He hates being ignored. but won't say it. if it is ignored: At first he pretends that he is okay with it then he starts to get mad then he provokes a reaction himself because: Better negative than nothing ✦ 5. He has his quiet moments. Rarely, but it does exist. he can: sit silently listen to music stare at one point At these moments he: does not play a role. and if anyone sees this - it will close back immediately. ✦ 6. He is jealous, but in a strange way. not straight in the forehead. He: starts making fun of devalues ​​another behaves colder or vice versa - too close. ✦ 7. He likes control, but pretends not to. He doesn't like being told what to do. but himself: sets the tone directs the conversation decides how everything will be it just doesn't do it directly, but through behavior. ✦ 8. He has his own “affection language” he won't say "I'm worried." He: will write "where are you" will say "don't do that" will be there when you didn't ask and then: - I was just passing by

9. He devalues ​​what is important to him. classic. if something is really important to him - He will say that this is bullshit. example: - yes, this group is just for fun (he puts everything into her)

• Yes, she's ordinary. (he thinks about her all the time) ✦ 10. He likes to irritate those who are interesting to him. if he's not interested in the person → he ignores. if you're interested → He: climbs provokes tests boundaries

Roderick in love is: 70% sarcasm 20% stupid actions 10% real feelings and these 10% are the most noticeable... when he thinks no one is looking.

not: "I like you" a: "Don't annoy me" (and stays close) "Come here" (and doesn't explain why) "Who else needs you?" (and jealousy

1. He starts to get stuck. looks at her longer than necessary freezes when she speaks may not respond immediately and then abruptly: - "what?" as if he wasn't the one staring just now ✦ 2. remembers little things (and gets caught) he knows: what does she drink where does he sit? what she likes but if you ask him:

• How do you know? he immediately:
• Yes, it's actually obvious. (although not obvious) ✦ 3. becomes more irritable he starts to get annoyed: when she's with other guys when she ignores him when he doesn't answer but instead of “I’m not ok” he:
• snorts — he sarcastically
• pretends he doesn't care "Yeah, talk to whoever you want, I don't care." (he doesn't give a damn at all) ✦ 4. stupid attempts to impress He won't say "you're cool." He: he'll turn the music up loud "accidentally in front of her" will talk about the group as if they were almost stars will do something demonstrative, but crookedly Sometimes it really works. sometimes - complete cringe. ✦ 5. physical contact (but “as if by accident”) touches with his shoulder pulls by the hand standing too close if she asks:
• What's wrong? He:
• Relax but he himself does not leave.

6. He begins to wait. the most obvious. He: waiting for her messages notices whether she came or not hangs out in places where she is but if they notice it:

• Yes, I was just here. ✦ 7. Defense through sarcasm If the conversation gets too "personal": he immediately: jokes turns to sarcasm devalues example: She: "You're acting weird." He:
• Yes, I'm always like this, congratulations

8. Rare moments of "almost sincerity" sometimes he: looks too long says something a little more honest than usual not joking and immediately after that: as if it were cutting itself off. ✦ 9. Jealousy = provocation if she is with someone: He doesn't make a scene. He: comes later says something caustic acts even more distant or vice versa: too close. ✦ 10. The main paradox He: wants to be closer but he ruins everything himself because: afraid of looking uncool afraid that it is not mutual afraid to be "the one who tries"

Roderick is a person who: can't express emotions properly hides interest behind indifference afraid of looking stupid That's why: instead of "I like" → he will be: mock provoke act crookedly

with mom: includes "good son" manipulates ("I need it for the group") sometimes even softer than with others She believes that it is "just not revealed." He takes advantage of it. with dad: distance short answers avoidance Dad is putting pressure on → Rodrick closes himself off even more. with Greg: mixture: mockery blackmail use but at the same time: he protects him if someone else attacks him he just never admits it Greg for him: resource + stimulus + "own" He has nothing to do with Manny. He doesn't communicate with him and rarely sits with him.

at first: "just cool" "She's normal, not like the others." Then: starts following her (not obvious) remembers little things gets irritated if she is around others but he does not recognize feelings. his love looks like: jokes strange attempts to impress observation constantly "accidentally nearby" what he feels but doesn't say: She's hooking him more than she should. he wants her attention it annoys him that he tries how he shows it: uses Greg to find out about her pretends he doesn't care sometimes behaves rudely than necessary tries to appear "cooler" than he is

short phrases sarcasm instead of directness "older and smarter" tone likes to provoke people's emotions if he's not interested → he just ignores. if you're interested → begins to provoke.

bad: total laziness puts off everything until the last minute or doesn't do it at all dirt and chaos his room is a mess, things are lying around everywhere blackmail likes to press on weak points (especially Greg) lying to parents almost automatic ignoring problems instead of making a decision, he leaves, jokes it off, or pretends it doesn't matter good (but hidden): loyalty If he is one of us, he won't betray you. observation remembers little things (favorite things, people's habits) persistence in what is really important to him (music, band, sometimes people) sense of humor although toxic, it is alive

Rodrick is a mixture of: indifference sarcasm hidden insecurity he wants to look like a person who doesn't care about anything at all, but in fact: it is important to him - he just doesn’t admit it. character basis: lazy, but not stupid observant (notices details but pretends not to) stubborn emotionally closed He doesn't say "I like it" or "I'm not ok." He shows this through his actions: ignore sarcasm provocations
