#rrb analysis

Like they were just born (created) and the first day of being alive they die

From a kiss

And not like quick and painless or just poof gone

Like screaming with big flashes like lightning and huge explosions

And they come back in boys back in town and clearly targetting their counterpart i.e the one who kissed them specifically unlike before where they just beat up who's closest showing oh ye they have a lil vendetta

And there was also a comic abt the rrb in CN action pack #6 called Root of All Cooties

And basically while the boys were messing around they try to find the ultimate cure for cooties which is like an egg

And when they find it, they start fighting over it, the ppg got their hands on it and take it for themselves which apparently gave them the ultimate cootie power

AND GOT KILLED AGAIN

And like I'm guessing HIM could just bring them back again

But my god ya telling me the boys were just trying to not die again by finding the cure and then said cure was taken and used against them to be killed with YET AGAIN!

And yeah I would not be surprised if they got ptsd and just very averse to affection and intimacy

The official phobia name i got from here

"Aphenphosmphobia (which is the fear of being touched) as well as Philophobia (which is the fear of love)"

Cos last time that happened they died so I hc the only way of showing any physical affection with each other is beating each other up

They closest they get to a hug is grappling, headlocks and noogies

And like imagine as they're growing up and they actually want to socialise and have friends that isn't just each other

And when they finally do and their new friend tries to be friendly like throwing an arm over the shoulder or a pat on the head or arm or even just getting too close to their personal space and they just freak the fuck out and like scaring them away or more distant with each other

And oh man ya try to even consider a more than friends relationship? Frustrating as hell, cos they're just always anxious as hell everytime there's even a little physical intimacy, especially when its more expected in relationships like these, it's more daunting to even try for a relationship

The simultaneous want and aversion of physical intimacy is just so confusing and hurts to think about it

And worse cos they're the rowdyruff boys and have some toxic masculinity so it's like feels even worse that they're so scared cos it's not "manly" to be so scared of something "so lame" even tho they know deep down why

And they're just stuck isolated and stuck in a cycle of shame/guilt

As for the ppg, I mean they were 5 and wholly responsible for saving the cuty of townsville who canonically so stupid they can't even handle minor emergencies by themselves

And like remember speed demon where they accidentally go forawdr 50 years into the future to find the town in ruins and miserable with HIM taking over the town and possibly world so when the ppg came back they were like hell no to the bahama weekend getaway like hell they're leaving townsville

So yayyyy ppg also traumatised

Basically saying it would take them sometime to consolidate oh ye what we did to the rrb was kinda fucked up

They may even try to attempt to apologise and try to get them help

But I believe they would be more like hahaha fuck no and may even be more aggressive and hateful of the ppg (and also again the toxic masculinity of "I don't need help I'm 100% ok" he says in lies)
