#it's such bullshit when ppl say shit like ''Hopes made me like Rodrigue''

OH MAN LISTEN

I hate how people just hate Rodrigue because Felix "hates" (face value of an angry teenager's words) him. Most times people don't actually look at Rodrigue - who he is, what he does, how he parents - and just shit on him because Felix claims to hate him.

Rodrigue was mourning in his own way and he knows what he said upset Felix very deeply. He acknowledges that! Then he continues trying to be a father to him and cares deeply about him! I've made posts about it before so I won't go over those specific instances again, but it's sad that people hate such an amazing character simply because the man was trying to find a way to accept what had happened and that his son was gone forever.

Very sad that people ignore every facet of Rodrigue's character and will judge and hate him just to be on Felix's side. I love Felix too, but when it comes to the situation between him and Rodrigue, Felix is in the wrong once it gets past the point of disagreement and Felix growing up and being old enough to understand that his behavior is very excessive. Neither were in the wrong at first - Rodrigue mourning in his own way, Felix getting angry thinking that Rodrigue meant his words in a derogatory toward knights way - but Felix had plenty of time since then (nine whole years, mate) to realize he was going too far with his attitude about it.

And of course, it's very sad that Felix does regret it only after Rodrigue dies (very noticeable if you get his advice box note about regretting hitting his father as a kid).

The people who hate Rodrigue because of his response to Glenn's death have always been so confusing to me because imagine unironically being like:

Rodrigue: I want to believe that my son's horrific death wasn't for no reason

Folks: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TOMATO TOMATO
