Roudise - Tumblr Posts

I love this whole entire thread and the conversation it's brought up. I think there are a lot of layers to this. I also dislike the whole concept of Rudy or Logan being "the other guy" or Louise only being seen as having the option between either Logan or Rudy. Why does it have to be one or the other, especially when neither Rudy or Logan have anything to do with each other.

I see Roudise as more of a Louise and Rudy dating in high school, but remaining good friends after the fact and Logan and Louise getting together in adulthood after years of growing up as people and having a lot of reflection and life experience. So, completely unrelated.

I also feel like the possibility of Rudy x Jessica or Louise x Jessica exists way more than people write or think about. (I could day way more about that, but it would be digressing and I want to get to the meat of what I really want to talk about.)

I don't ship Chloe and Rudy, but I have a theory as to why their dynamic is more desirable to a lot of people, just as some find Louigan's dynamic more palatable than Roudise in many cases:

Louise and Rudy are good friends, but Rudy is a sensible kid who isn't given to taking much risk and likes to be in his comfort zone. Louise is very chaotic, unpredictable, and does some very immature things sometimes. While Chloe can be mean and bratty, she comes off as mature, put together, and consistent - something that someone like Rudy would see as desirable traits, at least surface level. Rudy could be good for Chloe if she decides she's open to not being as selfish, by being a good influence on her.

Louise and Logan are both chaotic, a bit selfish, and think very much alike. It's a battle of constantly one-upping each other. They are fairly well matched, or will be when they are older. This is not to excuse or forget Logan's horrible behavior or his bullying of the Belcher siblings,

Louise and Rudy have a solid friendship, but romantically they run the risk of Louise pushing Rudy into being someone he's not by forcing him into all her schemes or trying to get him to become more adventurous. There is likely a point where Rudy would outgrow Louise romantically, she may not be able to give him what he needs as far as stability and same for her in terms of someone who can keep up with her. That or she'll kill poor Rudy by giving him like 5 heart attacks before he reaches 30. Rudy and Louise could work well if they can compromise and communicate, but that requires a lot of growing up on Louise's part.

I'm also bringing up Louigan and Roudise dynamics to highlight how different both ships are, just to hit home how much they have nothing to do with each other and how there would be no reason for Logan and Rudy to play "good guy, bad guy" with each other.

Also, Louise would hate boys fighting over her.

Do you know what I find the funniest thing? In Louigan fics, Rudy is often portrayed as the 'bad guy' or ex and in Roudise fics Logan is portrayed as the 'bad guy' or villain.

When in reality, we all know these boys would have nothing to do with each other! Even Louise would make sure of that. If Louise was with Logan I don't think he would ever hate Rudy or see him as a threat. And if it was the opposite, Rudy wouldn't certainly ever start anything with him.

A lot of the time it's mischaracterisation, and also the fact that we are writing about over-the-top characters that are like 9 and fictional. But it does make me laugh cause' I see it all the time.

Also random question:

If anyone out there does ship Chloe and Rudy, I just want to know why? Like genuinely! No hate! I really do want to know!

Hi! What’s a song that makes you think of your favorite character or ship from Bob’s Burgers?

HI BABS

i honestly wish i listened to enough songs that aren't from musicals to answer this better LMAO but i do have one

for Roudise (specifically from the pov of Louise), the song "Just My Type (feat. Poppy)" from the tv show We Bare Bears. just the chorus only. it goes:

It's weird, but I'm gonna say it

I-I'm beginning to think you're just right (we!)

We're already dreaming of a life (us!)

Maybe we risk it all (you!)

You're beginning, beginning to look like just my type

i just think it really fits their whole storyline in Bob Actually. the two of them being friends for about four whole seasons, then louise realizing over the course of this episode she like-likes him leading to her deciding to kiss him at the end. i liked it so much i literally made an edit of them to this song a year ago LMFAO

What's this?? Another piece already?? I know, it's crazy!!

But I just had the absolute pleasure of doing a Roudise/Louwheeze Comm for @sailoreuterpe as a very special gift to @devilh0rnsinc and @ltwharfy!! It's as a sort of thank you for being the captains of the Roudise ship and running such a wonderful Roudise Week back in December, and to get back at that horrible anon who sent Devil that awful message.

But on a lighter note, this piece was an absolute blast to work on. Nikki chose my simple sketch style, so I ended up going a bit extra and doing some simple monochromatic coloring and shading for her at no extra cost. I thought it would make it even cuter and give it even more of a romantic vibe. I decided it would be a very cute concept to have the two of them kissing, but Rudy is actually wearing Louise's bunny ears, as a symbol of how much they trust each other now. And I also thought it would be cute if Rudy was sort of getting even with Louise for her surprise kiss in Bob, Actually, and giving Louise a surprise kiss.

[ID]: Digital fanart of Rudy and Louise from Bob's Burgers. They are shown from the waist up and kissing in a side view. Rudy is wearing Louise's iconic bunny ear hat, and his eye is closed in contentment. Louise's eye is wide open with surprise. Her hair looks quite fluffy and is still in its usual pigtails. She is also wearing a sweater. There is some pink/yellow monochromatic coloring, giving off a romantic vibe.

Roudise 💚🩷💙

I feel like Rudy would fall backwards .05 seconds later.

'Confession'

A comic commission I did for the wonderful @theangrypomeranian! Based off of her incredible Roudise fanfic 'i hate accidents (except when we went from friends to this)' You can check it out here!

I absolutely loved working on this. Comics are my passion and Pom's lovely writing worked so well for a comic!

If you haven't checked out the fic, please do! It's a wonderful story that cleverly used all of the prompts from Roudise week!

Hope you all like this <3

Lol Happy Boop Day

(Haven’t drawn them in forever so here you go)

Based on an idea @ltwharfy had during Roudise Week (forever ago, I know!) where Rudy gets jealous and dresses up as Boo Boo after finding out about Louise’s crush. I loved the idea and just had to do something with it and I FINALLY finished it!

Here’s the dialogue if you can’t read my messy handwriting:

Louise: Would it make you feel better if I slapped you?

Rudy: A little, yeah…

ROUDISE NATION

I COME BEARING GIFTS

And by gifts I mean I finally got around to making the Season 14 compilation!!

Hope you enjoy it!!

Bob’s Burgers has officially returned, so here’s some Roudise outfit swapping!! This can be romantic or platonic, depending on your preference ^^

[ID]: Digital fanart of Regular-Sized Rudy and Louise from Bob’s Burgers. They are shown from the waist-up, and are drawn in a simple, sketchy style with pink and yellow monochromatic coloring. Louise has fluffy hair in pigtails with a large backpack, and she’s holding an inhaler. She’s wearing a simple shirt and pants. Rudy is wearing a long, flat dress with a bear backpack and is wearing Louise’s bunny ears hat. His mouth is open wide in a big grin, and he’s waving at Louise. They’re standing in front of the entrance of their school.

There in 8th grade

Here's regular size Rudy talking "platonicly" of course about his best friend 😉
