...Wow. I actually got around to the next one... Oy. Understanding Rolf is
just plain annoying. I'll say it now... Don't be mad if I leave out a
lot... He's really confusing. Puts Edd, or Jimmy, or even ED'S confusing-
ness to shame. K?
I'm working on Part 8 at last... But I really don't want to do the next part of Luke, I am your Ed. That part of the movie is just annoying! Will you guys mind terribly if I just quickly say what happens, then go back to it some other time? Please remember to review those fics, I need serious ideas for where to go now... REALLY!
(Plus, unfortunately for some of you,I'm gonna start to move on to my own stuff, or at least when I finish my current three fics. I might do occasional sequals to TSoE, but aside from that... I don't know. I need to think about school, anyway. I AM a sophomore this year, and it's becoming more important that I do good in school and expand my horizons, at the expense of my interest in various fanfic thingies... Not to mention all the homework. Oh well. I'll find some way to juggle everything if I can...)
Rolf, the foreign-stranger of the cul-de-sac.
Wanted: Rolf Also known as: The/A son of a shepard 'Stretch'...?
Like I said above, confusing. Full of all sorts of bizarre sayings. Add that to his height and strength, and a comparison between him and Ed almost makes sense... Eeep.
Order of stuff: Rolf's appearance Rolf's house(Only saw his room ONCE) Rolf's personality Rolf's general frustrations at this country Rolf's chores, 'pets', and the 8-bazillion quirks and odd facts. Rolf's strength, and other abilites. His lack-of-a-girlfriend
Rolf's appearence: "This is a garment from my old country!" -One guess, people..
Surprisingly, Rolf normally wears somewhat, well, normal clothes. Or what's normal in the show, anyway. Baggy blue pants(jeans?), a long yellow shirt with a digonal red stripe, and large red shoes. Did I mention large? His feet dwarf all but those of Ed's, and even HIS aren't as big... O_O Not only are Rolf's feet big, but he's tall. About the same exact height as Ed, maybe slightly taller. He has a tanner, almost olive skin-color, and the same blue hair Marie has, in three bunches sticking forward. Unlike most of the boys, it's actually visible, not just single strands... Well, Jimmy's blends in, and Edd... We still don't know.
Again unlike the other boys, Rolf has visible muscles, at least when he rolls up his sleaves. He also gets a slight moustache (sp?), so it's safe to assume he's at least 13/14, MAYBE 15, though I'd bet 14. Besides, he makes a comment at one point about missing the time of his youth... Meaning he's not a kid anymore in his eyes. In older times, 13 was a point of maturity, and I believe he'd be considered an adult in the old country, though a young one.
Rolf's room/house: "Victor! We have poachers!" -Rolf, the wiener.
Um. You don't see much of either, but I'll give you the details I know of.
All of the furniture in the living room is covered in plastic. The ashes of one of Rolf's ancestors, Great Nano, I think, are in a jar in there. There's one of those wooden birds that dip forward and back as well, much to Ed's delight. The TV, however, is a tad... old. Really. Its screen has about a 4" diameter(about 12 cm..?), and it's black and white. Not too mention it makes a LOT of noice and bouncing about when you turn it on.
In the kitchen, there are wooden chairs and a wooden table, not a surprise, eh? There's a fridge in there, so Rolf's family isn't TOO old-fashioned... Most of the time. Once there was a very large machine for making wieners in there, and another time there was an enormous stack of dishes, so we can assume that there's often some chore for Rolf to be doing in the house, as well as outside.
There IS an upstairs to the house, where Rolf's bedroom appearently is... All I saw was the doorway and a bed, so no description there.
However, you see a great deal of Rolf's yard, though it changed sometimes... There's a wooden fence on at least two sides of the house, most likely on three. There's at least two chicken coops, and one trough for Wilfred(pig) and his two un-named companions. There's a little wooden pen for the rooster/s that you only see once, and a mud pit or two for the pigs. Unfortunately, I don't know the positions of everything.
Rolf's personality: "Rolf's so wierd!" -Nazz (It won't last!)
Nazz put it very well. Unless you're from Rolf's non-existant old country, you wouldn't get the guy. Really.
He's a mature guy who USUALLY does all his work, be it cleaning beets, cleaning several hundred dishes, of digging a 8-12 foot deep ditch, about 14 feet long and 12 feet wide(Um... 3-4 meters deep, 4-6 meters long, and 3- 4 meters wide... I think.)
As far as his personality itself goes, Rolf's an easy-going guy. He'd like to be peaceful and friends with anyone, but the Eds push him too often, so he's sometimes bent on revenge. (The Prankster stuff, when Ed stayed over in the shed... As with the others, he has REASONS for being negative towards the Eds.) However, he usually holds the others back when they're trying to be cruel to the Eds.
Rolf's also very superstious, though that does make sense. He also has a great deal of reverence for the country sometimes... Yelling at the Eds for ignoring the orders of the fast-food stockers, and being very glad of the prompt mail service.
He ALSO makes a good older-brother figure as the local leader of the Urban rangers, AKA the Boy Scouts. Of course, there are some pretty rediculous things that you get a badge for, but the guy IS concerned about making Peach Creek a better place, when he isn't busy on the farm or being a kid.
Oh, and on the topic of what he'll be like when he's older... Any of you who have seen "Will work for Ed" will have noticed what a tyrant Rolf would be if he was the owner of a buisness... But his 'hard-love' attitude somehow makes Ed into a happy, productive employee, so I'm thinking that Rolf will be sucessful as an adult, no matter what his career.
But for all his older-child, young-adult, mature/responsible-ness, Rolf can be somewhat... Less mature. For one, he has a severe passion for Ju jus, rather like the Eds with jawbreakers. He appearently has made trouble once or twice, to the point that his elders locked him in the cupboard... No wonder he shuddered at the thought of it.
************************* Here's something I thought of recently... Popular theory places Edd as a new kid, which makes sense, that's why he can't be called 'Edd'. I personally think Rolf is new too. Not AS new, but think about it... Like Edd, Rolf's been loosening up and becoming more normal, in some ways, as the show went on. Most of the kids know little to nothing about his customs, and they didn't know how he celebrated Christmas... Get it yet? *************************
Rolf's G.f.a.t.c: "Rolf sweats himself to understand your modern go-go world...!" -Rolf, again.
Basically, the poor guy goes nuts once or twice because of differences between our customs and his... [And, for those of you who don't know, we don't REALLY know what country this is in... Probably the USA, but the guy who makes the show (Danny A.) appearently grew up in Canada... Main evidence against Canada instead of the U.S. is that the squirt guns were 'imported' from Canada. Anyway, enough rambling.] I pity Rolf, personally. He's from some non-existant 3rd-world country in the Alps where they actually have things like squid, and they know how to prepare fish, yet the idea of water filled with beetles the size of your head is perfectly normal... Now he's thrown into OUR culture, full of money- hungry slobs, the never-ending pursuit of power, etc...
His major problem is that his culture is very different, and he doesn't know where all the differences are. He thinks that a plant considered as a nice gift here is actually an insult, or that giving a person a batch of cookies means you're sorry... The concept of our laid-back way of thinking rarely catches up, and when it does, the results aren't good. ('Stop, Look, Ed')
Rolf's 8-gazillion(or so) pets: How many times must Rolf tell you?!? No strange visitors, ever!" -If you can't figure it out...
Eight gazillion is, of course, an estimate. I don't know EXACTLY how many animals live at Rolf's house, although my number isn't too far off if he kept all the rabbits(bunnies).
The definates that are often seen are: Wilfred-Pig Victor-Goat Getrude-Chicken
The-ones-I-know-exist-but-they-have-only-been-seen-once-or-twice The BEAST(aka Nestor the second)-Insane Attack Rooster "Mr. and Mrs. Bunny..."-2 rabbits... FOR NOW... 2 other un-named pigs A small flock of chickens+roosters The other bunnies, perhaps sold? Other goats, maybe?
The 8-bazillion quirks and odd facts: "Your village idiot has fallen into Rolf's hole... A celebration, I say!" -Yep, you guessed it... Rolf.
[Can you tell I've come to like the number '8-bazillion'..? And there IS no definition for the number, so... You guys don't know what it means! Ha!]
Rolf has quirks. Lots of them. I don't even remember all of them, there are so many sudden and unexpected things he says, or does, or tells someone ELSE to do. So, Instead of doing my usual paragraph, I'll do a list of the ones that come to mind:
Burying himself under ground when Eddy 'stole Rolf's honor'... Eating candied beets to calm his nerves Giving out bacon on 'Christmas' Using a triple-poke to someone's head as a salute.
Rolf's strength/other abilites: "Whoa!" -Kevin, watching Rolf uproot a tree.
Rolf, too, is very strong. With all the farm work he does, you don't have to think long about WHY that is. He digs a really deep trench, uproots a tree.. Y'know, Ed-style strength. Still haven't seen him pick up a house, though. Ed's got the lead there.
Like Sarah, Rolf exhibited some unusual abilities when the Eds(Ed, that time) hypnotized him into thinking he was a: man-eating noddle?!?/Giant bat/zombie. For one, he actually flew when he was a bat... Somehow...
Oh, and Rolf understands the language of dirt... Don't ask me how, I don't know. But he listened to the soil's words in an attempt to learn the position of the 'Monkey Boys'.. Or I think that's what they're called, anyway.
His lack-of-a-girlfriend: "What?" -Rolf
Well, let me put it this way. There are 5 girls in the cul-de-sac(look to first page for list), six boys, one piece of wood, and a Jimmy. (He's a guy, so make that 7..) 5 girls, seven boys... Jonny's too busy being friends with Plank, so he's generally out of the picture. Then you have Rolf. All of the other boys(minus Jimmy too) were enraptured by Nazz's charm in 'Boys wil be Eds', and are often tongue-tied in her presense. Rolf wasn't effected, and he thought the bunch of them were being love sick idiots.
In other, simpler words, Rolf isn't paired with anyone on the show, really. You people have some twisted fics about his possibilities, but this is rated either G or PG, so I won't get into that. Basically, no, he isn't trying to get any other the 5 girls' attention... Wouldn't it be funny if the big surprise at the end of the show was him and Nazz kissing, and being caught? :-)
(I was gonna do a good family references thing... Then I decided that I don't want this to take another week, so here's just brief stuff.... If you honestly want to know all of those bizarre things about his family, watch the show really attentively.)
(Brief) Family references- "Nana! Has the water some to a boil yet?!?" -Rolf
Nana- Grandmother? Always around the house, is a 'great hairy beast' with really big pantaloon-thingies... Eep. She has remedies for attacking lobsters(boil them) and she old and crotchedy enough that she was going to serve as the 'helping an old lady across the street person' for the Urban Rangers. Either she or Rolf's Great-nana has a wooden leg.
Papa- Father. He and Rolf came to the U.S.A. together, supposedly on boats madeof cucumber skins... I'm doubting that one. He probably is always gone at work somewhere, explaining why his Nana seems to be the one at home.
Nano- Grandfather? No other real info...
Other siblings- Rolf says at one point that, because he was the oldest, he was entrusted with his great Nano's ashes... So he appearently has siblings that are still in the old country, but I'm not really sure about that.
************
Alright, I'm sorry... I didn't update for along time, and this one wasn't much good anyway... I can blame it on the character, I don't have much info for Rolf.
ANYWAY... Next up is Nazz, the siren of the cul-de-sac(Not police siren, mythical siren). Don't worry, I'll try to speed up my udate process, but I can't promise anything... Reviews would definately help, though.
For anyone who cares... After Nazz is Kevin, Jonny/Plank, the Kankers, and finally the theories chapter... so we are more than half-way through! If you have any thing you want to submit as a theory for that chapter, leave it in your reviews.... Ok? See ya around, and please R&R my stuff!
I'm working on Part 8 at last... But I really don't want to do the next part of Luke, I am your Ed. That part of the movie is just annoying! Will you guys mind terribly if I just quickly say what happens, then go back to it some other time? Please remember to review those fics, I need serious ideas for where to go now... REALLY!
