Maybe we shouldn't let Frank represent Gamers
Unless of course we're talking about MOVIE FRANK!

I love how you used Susans glasses to enhance her mask of hypocrisy and how she pretends that everything's alright and doesn't want to see the truth. It takes a real artist to take a detail like this (that doesn't really mean anything in the original books) and use it so brilliantly.

Personally I think she’s also a victim of abuse she’s just good at covering it up and pretending everything is fine.
Mostly I think that because back in the chapter where we see the photo album one photo has her arm looking injured.
I think it’s the wedding photo? So it could be that she was raised in an abusive family, and was suffering from abuse even before she met Frank. Which would explain WHY she doesn’t do anything about Frank. Due to her upbringing she thinks that this is normal family behavior, and her perspective is just as dysfunctional as Greg’s.
This whole family needs some therapy.

u/Smiling_Burrito Sep 05 '23
Wait, really? I never noticed that she had an injured arm... you don't happen to remember in which part that comic is, do you?

Here’s a link to the photos from the album. She seems to have a bruised wrist on photo #1

u/ClumsyWey Sep 10 '23
I don't think Frank abuses Susan. It was shown through several panels ln different posts that Susan is clearly the one in control over Frank, with Frank taking a more submissive stance everytime Susan scolds him or orders him around.
I am guessing that Susan grew up in a broke household, so she allows Frank to do as he pleases with Rodrick while she orders and manipulates everyone around in order to fit her distorted concept of the "perfect family"

u/DRMFeint Sep 05 '23
No, Frank was the one with the injured arm
20
u/GhostofManny13 Sep 05 '23
In that same photo that he has the bandages on his arm she has what looks to be dark marks on her arm. Somewhat like bruises.

u/A-Random-Reddit_User Sep 06 '23
Also kind of fun how we only see one of her eyebrows, just like in the original style

u/Theweedhacker_420 Sep 05 '23
Given that Greg is an unreliable narrator who we can see always downplays really messed up shit as humorous, I’m genuinely nervous how the events of "Cabin Fever" and "The Long Haul” actually played out. Like Greg makes Frank yelling at Rodrick for locking a pizza in a safe seem funny, but was that the full extent of their disagreement?
53
u/xfydr782 no Greg dont say the p-word Sep 05 '23
or maybe it really just happened like that and you shouldn't overthink a funny children's book

u/Guilty-Effort7727 Sep 05 '23
They are thinking about the context in this AU. If those stories ever happened in this AU to begin with

u/SlyZeke1O1 Sep 06 '23
Yeah he’s just trying to find any excuse to beat on Rodrick at this point and the fact lFrank trying to imply that Bill might an p3do is pissing me off. That’s just show how much an douche he is trying to force toxic masculinity onto his kids

to be fair, it’s kinda weird that a thirty year old is hanging out with a bunch of teenagers
101
u/dumbbitchdisease Sep 05 '23
Nah man, it’s healthy for youth to have positive adult mentors. It sucks that men who get along well with kids/teens are always framed like that, I get why it happens and safety first and all but adults getting along with teens isn’t inherently weird. Think how much shittier it would be if Rodrick didn’t have another adult to support him
25
u/SoggyMushrom frank’s boyfriend Sep 05 '23
i completely agree, especially with what we’ve seen. my point isn’t to say “bill is a pedo because he hangs out with teens” its just that there’s a lot of weird people like that, so it’s weird to an outsider’s perspective
11
Sep 06 '23
its not really weird in this context but yeah when you look at it as an outsider it seems weird
29
u/_Rubbish-Bin_ Sep 05 '23
Yeah I can kind of agree with Frank on this thing (not with the way he executes it though). I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I had a kid and they were hanging out alone with a thirty year old. It begs the question of why is the thirty year old never hanging out around people their own age. Usually there is a really good reason.
11
Sep 07 '23
I'm on the spectrum and have trouble talking to people my age, especially at my church where I'm usually pushed to do some socializing. Meanwhile, kids there always flock to me because I'm one of the few adults who doesn't baby them and treat them like they're dumb.
I just listen to them and have simple discussions with them about their favorite games, shows, sports, and animals while also making sure they don't get hurt in church grounds. I sorta treat them like how I treat my nephews and younger cousins.
Obviously, there are some horrible people out there who are going after kids (hell, I was a victim myself and it caused a ton of trust issues) so it's understandable why parents can be weary of any adults who are talking to their kids.
So far in this LLB, Bill seems to just hang out with them for their shared love of music. He isn't acting inappropriate with Rodrick, Greg, or the others and shows a lot of genuine concern for Rodrick's well being. He seems to be just looking out for him.
Whether Bill is a creep or not, Frank really brought up that concern in the worst way possible. It doesn't help that Bill has so far been shown to care about Rodrick's mental and physical well-being while Frank likes to beat him harder than the kids at church beat me at soccer.

There are people out there who care about quality company over "appearances." It doesn't always mean they have bad intentions. I met my best friend when she was 17 and I was 23. She was the only person who was there for me when I was at my worst. Everyone else besides my mom couldn't care less and every "friend" my own age abandoned me. It's obviously a good thing to be concerned, but it's wrong to assume without knowing anything.
9
u/_Rubbish-Bin_ Sep 06 '23
17 and 23 isn’t that big of an age gap though. 16 and 30 is a massive age gap. If a 30 year old is hanging out with a kid constantly, and only kids, and they aren’t siblings or something then my first thought is going to be “that’s pretty creepy/concerning”.
3
Sep 06 '23
I agree if they have a pattern of only befriending kids, then it's more often than not a bad thing. I don't think an age gap matters otherwise. It's easy to try and get to know a person instead of pointing fingers.

u/Jannie_boo Oct 06 '23
Same, I'd also be a tad bit concerned if my 16 year old son was hanging with a 35 year old man in my basement lol

I like how everyone universally agrees that if Rodrick fought back physically, he'd rock Frank's shit

because when you constantly mentally abuse someone, you’ll never know how hard they hit back

u/SlyZeke1O1 Sep 07 '23
I couldn’t agree more but me personally, I want one of the uncles to find out about the abuse and whoops Franks ass than he gets send to jail and Susan ain’t allowed to see Roderick ever again

Susan has always struck me as a cold hearted,abusive mother in an alternate universe with the big ass glasses covering her eyes making them look cold and dead.
This is amazing,great job!

u/SlyZeke1O1 Sep 06 '23 edited Sep 06 '23
Yeah but most people finds her delusional and neglectful when it comes to AU’s like this one but it’s disgust me how she’s enable Frank’s excessive force on Rodrick and only stops it not because she cares about his wellbeing but she wants to avoid getting other family members involved because they most likely call her out on not stopping the abuse and have the police handle Frank and arrest him, but me personally, I hope this series end up with one of the uncles confronting Frank and beating him up than he gets arrested. That would be an W

Tbf, it is kinda weird a 35 year old spends his free time with teenagers, but that doenst necessarily mean anything bad.

u/SlyZeke1O1 Sep 06 '23
Not exactly, in most cases, it’s good for teenagers to find an good adult role model to hang out with. Especially when it comes to teens who came from broken/abusive homes such as this
2
u/EffectOld8810 Sep 27 '23
It’s good but in a more professional setting - coaches, teachers, mentors, etc. He is 35 years old & Rodrick is 16, I’m sure this is a concern for most parents. Especially with kids like Rodrick who look for an adult outside of their family for safety. There’s a lot of vulnerability and trust with that.
2
u/SlyZeke1O1 Sep 27 '23
Yeah that’s what I was trying to say, Frank may had a good point but he took it WAY too damn far and clearly just using it as a excuse to insult Bill and most likely jealous how Bill is somewhat an better father figure to Roderick than he is

u/EffectOld8810 Sep 27 '23
Oh yea then I agree 100% . It was just jealousy issues and probably projection or something

u/SlyZeke1O1 Sep 07 '23
Ikr it’s ridiculous. Frank’s entitlement is honesty appalling, not only he’s an toxic narcissist but he has this ridiculous entitlement where he believes that’s the harsh treatment he put Rodrick through and beating on him over the simplest mistakes is justified. And Susan is no better, she’s such an selfish hypocrite and enable Frank’s abusive behavior. God I hope CPS takes the kids away and they give them to Uncle Joe and Frank ends up in Jail along with that self righteous bitch exposed for letting all this go on

The worst part about my experience, is that I was effectively Manny by being the youngest. I missed the worst shit, by having it normalized from a young age. Despite that, the negative vibes lingered, something was always off with my parents and older siblings and the way they interacted.

u/Theweedhacker_420 Sep 05 '23
Ay op, I guess you get asked this a lot, but I really need to know if you’re ok with your family. This is among the most accurate portrayals of a broken family unit I have ever seen, and it made me realize how fucked up my own family unit was. Where tf did you get inspiration from.
15
u/ABitchWhoMakesShit Author of Dysfunctional Perspective Sep 05 '23
Yeah a lot of people ask me that lol
But dw, my family is alright, they are nothing like what is portrayed in this llb, my inspiration came from fiction and stories from other people I met over time

i bet rodrick has bill around because he is deprived of a father figure and bill fills in the space of frank, rodrick sees bill as a father/ role model/ father figure, which is why he likes him so much, he's getting the love that frank never gave him from bill.
