His face looks rough - the "rosacea" and clogged pores and nascent spider veins, his drinkers nose speedballing toward W.C. Fields territory, the sweaty head and greasy skin.... It adds 30 years to him. A cautionary tale.
I have an ick feeling that she at some level likes every bit of it. The drama, the attention, the being a shit mother, the being seen as a shit mother, the "we are so edgy," the chaos, the being treated poorly, the insecurity of the situation. She doesn't take her life seriously (nor Rozy's, either, obviously; Ethan is a clown, so not taking his seriously is an accidental good call).
That is the biggest bullshit tweet ever, whichever of them wrote it.
They were rambling alcoholics and lived dissolute lives, treated people like shit at times, etc. But as you say, they created. Not just entertainment or commentary, but art - and it was art that in itself was a pure positive, and that has had immense and inspiring influence on millions of people worldwide over decades, and on both arts & literature and life (in the Western World at least) itself. What they did mattered.
Beyond their art, their personals, and their relationships were also extraordinary. And they had style.
Ethan Ralph couldn't be farther from that if he tried. He produces nothing of value, nothing of quality, nothing of substance, nothing that will last, and nothing that will ever positively impact or influence or inspire one single person in the entire universe, ever. He is a joker and an angry fool, uneducated and uneducable. The only thing interesting about him is the usual gawk-factor of watching someone proudly fiddle while Rome burns.
