Rudolph Richardson - Blog Posts
Since Rudy spends time with their daughter in the future, does he speak to Carmelo often? What is their opinion of each other as adults?
They speak occasionally. They aren’t friends, but are civil! Rudy is closer to Tobias than he is to Carmelo. Carmelo always makes sure to be extra respectful to him though. :)
What does adult Rudy look like?
something like this !!! (sorry that it’s so messy , I just quickly sketched it out in class)
He spends a lot of time with Tobias’s daughter too ! He is almost like an uncle to her ^_^
Do Tobias and Rudy ever get to see each other again in adulthood?
they do, actually! They meet for coffee once in a while. They are peaceful with each other. Not exactly friends, but not enemies either.
Did Carmelo ever have a crush on Rudy in your AU? If so what caused him to stop and move onto Tobias?
yes, he did! He realized that his feelings for Rudy would end up nowhere, and eventually started to lose interest. He also knew that being with Rudolph would be terrible for him. They weren’t a good match, even as just friends.
So did Rudy ever get rid of those snuff films or do those just not exist in your au, or are they not real snuff films at all. it’d be pretty bad if he kept them because I heard it’s illegal to have them in your possession and it’s considered obstruction of evidence.
He buries them when he starts going to therapy. He stopped watching them the start of senior year, but couldn’t get himself to part with them.
Does Rudy ever get therapy or any sort of help?
A little after he graduates high school! But while he is in school, no, he does not. He starts to get very unstable towards the end of his senior year, but he snaps back to reality and seeks the help he needs.
Rudy doodles ^_^
Rudy is my favourite character can I have some headcanons or something I LOVEEEE GIGMMMMMM ESPECIALLY IN YOUR AU
YES OFC !!! I’ll give headcanons for canon Rudy and Aquamarine AU Rudy ^_^
Canon Rudy:
He looooves to do little crafts. Paper stars, paper snowflakes, pop-up cards, etc. he gifts them to friends and family.
He has always wanted to dye his hair, but his parents told him that it would DESTROY his hair, and be way too much work. He loves the idea of it though.
he rips out his eyelashes when he is stressed, and has trouble with picking at his skin (especially around his fingernails)
Aquamarine AU Rudy:
(aquamarine AU is like … modern? I don’t know if I’ve ever said this , but yeah)
Being a dick to Emilio makes him feel better about himself. Like. It gives him a huge ego boost.
he’s very smiley and giggly during classes. Even just walking in the halls, he is very happy.
He loves thrift shopping!!! It’s one of his favorite things to do with his mom, they spend hoooours shopping together.
He looooves Red Hot Chili Peppers and Talking Heads. Like. Loooves them.
He has a lot of online friends ! He spends a lot of his time talking to them, playing games with them, etc. ^_^

Could you go more into detail on how Rudy feels about Tobias? Does he hate him after the failed apology during the school trip?
Yeah , of course ^_^ Rudy doesn’t haaaate him, But he isn’t fond of him. He does truly care for Tobias, and wishes that he gets the help he needs, but Rudy knows that being around Tobias would be a terrible idea for both of them. Rudolph cannot handle Tobias, he cannot handle a relationship that is so full of hate and instability. So yeah, Rudolph doesn’t hate him, he just doesn’t want to put himself through something that will hurt him again.
GE Animation wip
I don’t know if I’ll ever finish this but yeah
Emilio is going through it, how bad does Rudy get for Emilio.
Rudy doesnt hold himself back at ALL… He wants Emilio to know how much he hates him, and to feel terrible for what he did. Emilio does not handle it well, he starts becoming more and more paranoid at school. It gets pretty bad
Basically, in this au, Rudy is just a huuuuge asshole to Emilio.
Aquamarine Au Rudy being a dick to Emilio ^_^
Aftermath (Accidental meeting pt 2)
Rudolph and Carmelo find out what happened.
Why does Rudy even hang around Emilio?
He never really actively seeks out for him. They don’t hang out as friends, it’s mostly just if Rudy sees/is around Emilio, he’ll take the opportunity to fuck with him a little bit . Emilio thinks that they could get along, since they are both unhappy with Tobias and Carmelo being together. He thinks if Rudy gave him a chance, they could understand each other and maybe be friends. He is very wrong
Eventually , after all the taunting, Emilio starts to silently hate Rudy as well
”You know he hates you, right?”
Does rudy do this to cope, because now Emilio and rood’s relationship has kinda gotten worse now, maybe rudy thinks making someone else feel horrible will make himself less angry
YES!!! Rudy absolutely does this to cope. He HATES Emilio, but loves tormenting him. In a way, he also does this because he is trying to stand up for Tobias.
since we see Emilio and Rudy together often, does Rudy only taunt Emilio?
(hope I answer this right , let me know if I didn’t answer what you meant ^_^)
The only person that Rudy taunts is Emilio. He makes small comments towards Carmelo, yeah, but doesn’t taunt him like how he does to Emilio. Rudolph will push Emilio’s buttons a lot, especially with things based on Tobias. (Telling him that Tobias is forgetting him, Tobias hates him, Tobias is scared of him, etc.) it always makes Emilio feel like shit
”He’s going to forget you”
Rudy sometimes puts thoughts in Emilio’s head to mess with him, make him feel bad.
Do you mind sharing the difference between how Tobias acted with Rudolph, and currently acts with Carmelo? I'm curious!! Mostly cause I just wanna know how he acts with Carmelo, I'm mostly focused on them....but dramaaaa!!!
YESSS YES OKAY ^_^
With Rudolph, it was a really really jusssstttt a bad friendship. Tobias was always hurting and/or pushing him to his limit, yknow? He only really cared about their relationship until he lost it.
With Carmelo, it was completely different. Tobias actually cared about him, wanted to learn from his mistakes with Rudy. Carmelo was also a nice fit for Tobias. He would stand up for himself if Tobias was pushing him too far, which is something that Rudy did not do . It was a shock to Tobias at first, for someone to put him in his place and explain that his way of thinking and dealing with issues isn’t right.
overall , Tobias is happier with Carmelo. he feels understood and the relationship feels more stable when Tobias is held responsible for his actions. Communication is very hard for the both of them, but they work it out , and it only brings them closer and helps them understand each other better.
Do Emilio and or Rudolph ever try to break up Carmelo and Tobias?
They do not! Rudy usually minds his business. The most he’ll do is give dirty looks. Maybe a small comment towards Carmelo every once in a while.
Emilio is a little more extreme? He takes notes on them CONSTANTLY. like . Get a life , bro … Even if he doesn’t interact with them, he is allllways keeping an eye on them from afar.
But they do not try to break them up.
aquamarine au stuff ^_^
Carmelo and Tobi are both very anxious people. Carmelo does not want anyone to know about his relationship, especially his friends. Tobias gets anxious that he is a problem for Carmelo.
Emilio and Rudolph have been talking more since Tobias and Carmelo started seeing each other. Rudy still hates Emilio, but they both share their concern for Tobias and anger towards Carmelo. (Concerned and angry for different reasons , but still concerned and angry nonetheless)
I wonder ,Rudy even though he feels betrayed and hurt by tobias. If he thinks tobias is in a abusive relationship just like Ben
Rudy thinks that Tobias is at risk of being hurt. He does not know anything about how Carmelo treats him, and only assumes that Carmelo is still an asshole. He is very wrong though…
would carmello know about the Halloween incident with rudy?. Also lastly, unrelated, since Rudy is “ very salty” due to the fact tobi and Carmelo are together, would he ever confront Carmelo or Tobias, because despite Rudy never wanting to talk to tobias again, he still cares about Tobias.
Carmelo does know! Tobias told him about it very early on in their friendship, mostly because Carmelo kept pushing. Once Carmelo found out, he didn’t ask anymore questions. It scared him a bit, but it faded from his mind after they got closer and Tobias got better with regulating his emotions.
Rudy does not confront Tobi and Carmelo, BUT he gives them very dirty looks. It’s true that Rudolph still cares for Tobias, and it worries him that Tobi will be hurt by Carmelo. Despite his concern, he does not reach out or interact with them.
