#when the ship be SOOOOOOOO but canon is so *pinches fingers*

[lack-a-lenierka]

Been a day, thinking very much about Mordecai and Rocky and their narrative parallels-

Their endless devotion to their respective authority figures.

How their flesh got brutally opened up, as they continued to risk their lives further for a sinking business. Their biggest weakness opened up. rockys (literal) mind cracked for all to bare. Mordecais chest (his heart) previously tucked away behind clean facades, now forever changed.

Their distance with their families, being the older brother figures. Their unfair circumstances which were “saved” by their respective figure of worship.

Rocky’s endless chaos and fires, his brutallity always hands off. Always with dynamite and flaming vehicles and trickery first. Distant but filled with passion. Mordecais always hands on, a hatchet and gun in his hand. Precise and deadly, intimate but emotionless.

Their methods can’t kill the other, but it stumbles them, they get up afterwards and continue to work.

Mordecais love for mathematics and strategy. Rocky’s love for music and poetry.

Endless frown and forever grin.

And yet their only canon interaction has mordecai do a offhand comment about rocky’s tie. Rocky’s only opinion of him is if he hurt mitzi’s feelings.

Their off-canon interactioms are comedy, their contrasting personalities clashing and turned into a double act. The straight man and the funny man

I’m so normal about them
