Oh my beloved friend, I am utterly starved! Oh! How could I possibly go on without your Paw Patrol lore I hunger for day in and day out? If only I could be sated with an amazing post about your Rocky lore that I long to share with the rest of the world? :(

TW: NEGLECT MENTIONS, HOARDER MENTIONS, DISGUSTING HOUSE SHIT, SHITTY PARENTS IN GENERAL

!!DISCLAIMER: I ACTUALLY KNOW JACK SHIT ABOUT PAW PATROL PLEASE DON'T BE MAD AT ME IF I GET SOME RANDOM ASS FACTS WRONG I KNOW NOTHING THANK YOU!!

TL;DR: Ah yes, Rockys family backstory is neglectful horder parents, hence why he's so passionate about dealing with trash.

Imagine him describing his old home life to the others all happy like only for them to look at him in horror, Rocky cleans up a dead roach for Chase and is like "lol you learn to stop being afraid of these guys once they've flown unto your head in your sleep enough times" and keeps it pushing while Chase is just like "I BEG YOUR FINEST PARDON???"

Marshall talks about the issues he has with hair on his ears and Rocky relates by telling him a story about how a bedbug crawled into his ear n he panicked, killed it while it was still in his ear, and then had to clean the blood out, and Marshall is just like "Wtf are you good???" And Rocky is just like "Yeah! :D! I didn't get an ear infection or nothin!" And keeps going like nothing happened

Skye freaks out over a silver fish in the sink one day and Rocky cleans her sink for her n talks about how big these guys get when they're left untouched and is like "it's crazy man I remember when we couldn't even touch the sink back home without unleashing a horde of them bc we disturbed they're dirty dish home" n Skye is already holding back several gags bc she doesn't want to offend Rocky

Rocky not being able to handle things being dirty, possibly an OCD kinda way? But also not in a way bc there isn't a ritual it just has to be clean, I also imagine a level of feeling dirty that can drive him crazy to so he often wears gloves(perfect for his line of work) and long sleeves, like touching people will make them dirty and not him

He only lets people he trusts actually touch him skin to skin but even then somedays he just can't, it gets even worse when he doesn't take proper hygiene shit(took him forever to learn bc again, neglectful horder parents) and it can cause him panic attacks if someone does touch him skin to skin when that feeling is excessive

Rubble was the first one to "get the privilege" of touching Rocky skin to skin, why? Bc I say so

Chase being the last one to be allowed to touch Rocky skin to skin bc Rocky high key puts him on a pedestal (different ramble DIFFERENT RAMBLE-)

Rocky's parents forcing him to touch them skin to skin and they don't do anything for healthy hygiene

Rocky's parents being hoarders and possessive of things, including him, always wanting him back home always forcing themselves into his space grabbing at exposed skin while Rocky freezes and lets it happen bc that's been his whole life, thick layers of dirt under their nails and super thin greasy hair that sticks to theirs n Rocky's skin, when he can't clean at their home bc they either mock him or get aggressive, they have enough rooms to accommodate a max probably five people but all the rooms except for the one they sleep in are filled to the brim with shit from over the years, Rocky grew up sleeping in the living room... He's also adopted btw, these people are not biologically related to him but they did raise him since infancy (Before Ryder obvi)

It's clear how uncomfortable he is about it all but if he or anyone else tries to defend him they become even more possessive and territorial over him, it's like some kind of reverse psychology or some shit, they also reek of animal piss, they continuously try and get Rocky to come over with friends to their house only bc they know he's embarrassed(and even ashamed) of their household and they get a kick out of watching him panic about it
