His psych profile isn't really too complex or out of the ordinary.
Oh, I agree, but it's like "How does someone have all the characteristics he does and seemingly have a multiplier". His personality and emotional maturity is basically the cookie cutter of all cookie cutters to end up like Ralph.
IMO, you can ultimately trace a lot of it back to his supreme inability to confront any difficulty or conflict in his life. I get that sometimes, life sucks, but Ralph's solution to every problem, no matter how big or small, is invariably:
- Take pills
- Get drunk
- Holler
- Ignore and never address the problem
You can trace the development of his mentality through his childhood up through GooberGrape, up to IBS, and until the crumbling state of the sektur as it is now
It's still crazy to know Ralph was really like this before the sektur was born. Ordinarily, you'd expect he was just some 18 year old who was relatively normal and garned a moment of niche e-fame, whose life went to shit afterwards, but nope. He was early-to-mid 30s, had all these negative traits, and his life was already shit. A LOT less shitty in retrospect.
Fortunately, a brief opportunity called GooberGobber provided him a chance to believe it could change. That one spec of reprieve from Ralph's miserable existence led him to believe the recipe, that compromises the Ralphamale worked. That he finally cracked the code and made it big. As it turns out, it did not. It most certainly did not.
This is the logical conclusion of a reactionary, cowardly, but most of all incredibly fragile ego. Beneath all that bluster and bragging and posturing is an insecure little fat kid terrified of being ignored and alone.
You'd have figured there's a certain point where someone adjusts the trajectory. Not that Ralph was ever destined for greatness, much less mediocrity, but you have to imagine the insecure little fat kid inside of him is constantly saying, "I don't like this. I don't want to live alone in a Mexican shack. I don't want to pound booze and xannies to get through the day anymore.", but nope. That voice gets drowned out immediately by pills and booze. The alogs mustn't win, no matter the cost, even though paying the cost is miserable. Thankfully, the xanax and liquor help alleviate that!
I hope Ralph never finds out that he can get d-bol at the local pharmacia. I'd be so owned if he started juicing out and became an absolute goliath.
I mean, it's not all bad. It might help his deflated tits.
Not likely. He just has 15 lb Amazon weights and ozempic
I miss when he was using that to prove to the alogs his arm still worked. TBH, it's better than nothing. I've never seen someone who was able-bodied (relatively) and had the muscle atrophy of a paraplegic.
