#i could write a freaking novel based on hcs and theories i have regarding this show

[rogers-attic]

i like how the american dad fandom collectively headcanons that roger had terrible, ab//sive parents back on his home planet

like take a look at this goofy alien guy: hes an alc//h//lic, he has traits of a multiple personality disorder, hes an addict, he has very clear abandonment issues and went on a family bender, he smokes; all those things right there are DEFINITELY trauma responses like he clearly has LOTS of trauma he isnt properly dealing with

he even keeps his dad in the smiths freezer and takes a bite of it every year on his bday for gods sake like he aint right in the head

#ik ik rog is an asshole a lot of the times and you shouldnt use trauma as an excuse for your actions- #and the whole ‘his species needs to be mean to survive’ thing- #but CLEARLY hes dealing with some serious issues here #like what has my babey boy been through?!??? #istg if they dont make a decent roger backstory in the near future i am going to loose it #i need his backstory so badly 😭😭😭 #i am happy though with the tidbits of his life here and there in the series #i like to think that the smiths have tried to get roger the help he needs multiple times like in family affair- #but he dismisses it says hes too ‘superior’ for it or goes once and thinks everything is fixed #i also like to think that when rog first came to the smiths and they treated him like the rest of the family- #he was taken aback at first bcuz he wasnt used to such kindness and hospitality from caregivers #i could go on and on with this but i wont lol #i could write a freaking novel based on hcs and theories i have regarding this show #ive officially got ad brainrot yall #american dad #roger smith #ad talk
