Tawog Rob - Blog Posts
People are gonna hate me for this
But I headcanon that Rob killed someone before.
When someone draws a tawog group picture but they don’t include Rob
rob's static 📺
if you're not aware, rob's static changes with his emotions, so i decided to analyze it for fun in a stupid post with gifs <3
dark: rob's static turning dark is generally for negative emotions, but not exclusively so. it's most often shown when he's feeling grumpy or evil, but also can indicate sadness, guilt, pain, realization, physical effort, or just being theatrical.
bright: his static getting brighter is often for joy or confidence. it's associated with adrenaline like excitement and surprise, as well as distraction, confusion, and tension. in the case of intense, aggressive anger, his static turns bright instead of dark.
flashing: his static flashing quickly between bright and dark most often indicates intense anger. the static having a single bright flash can show sudden pain, especially if followed by darkness. a slower flashing can mean fear or panic, like a warning signal.
rapid: the static speeding up significantly is like a heart rate speeding up, and is another sign of intense anger. it also occasionally means fear, excitement or confusion.
okay so "dead" and this next bit aren't really emotions, but they are worth mentioning. when rob is dead (or at least paralyzed?) his static goes dark and very slow, and because he was literally turned off with the remote, a power sign is displayed.
as far as i know this only happens once, in the scene shown above, but his static can zoom in/out to display him tensing up and relaxing.
and that's nearly all i have to say about that! btw the animators don't do things with his static in every scene, sometimes it just stays, well, static LMAO
here are some extra examples from the show:
Check this out!
Hello! I’m currently remaking the rob plush I was originally planning to sell. I’m planning on making it bigger (around 45cm) and maybe making it $35 USD ($50 CAD) (not including shipping) . I’ve gotten the motivation to start working on these again because I plan on using all the money I get from selling these plushies to save up for college! If there’s anything suggestions please tell! (Like if I should change the price or whatever) I’ll post the prototype when it’s finished and see if you guys would consider buying!
I don't really draw tawog anymore but y'all need to feed so here are some old doodles I never posted 🥳🥳
To prove i haven't faded to dust yet, take these Rob doodles I don't remember doing!!!
In varying mediums as per classic tawog fashion
Day ?? in the void:
Lonelyness
Oh and extra!!
I don't see enough content of amnesiac Rob, like when he first fell out the void, just got disfigured, has no memory of anything. Which is a shame I think that's cool idea to explore, what is means to have your entire identity stripped away from you.
Oh he's like freshly disfigured too, I don't think it would feel the most pleasant! Sighh he makes me sick sighhhhh
Bro is MAD!!!!
I couldn't resist... I needed to draw out the lyrics.......
Suffering through backwards blindness 💔 Shit felt wrong to draw i actually had to draw the eyes separately then add them on...
In Rob's backstory it shows him calling for help in the void, but what's always bothered me is that if you actually check the episode where he supposedly does that, NO HE DOESN'T!!
HE'S JUST STANDING THERE!!! I can't be the only one who's been annoyed by this. Like yeah, maybe Gumball and Darwin didn't notice you, cuz you didn't do anything.
Like I seriously wanna know was the villain thing an after thought? I feel like they'd plan something like that before hand but I guess not... Like it still would've been funny if he was calling out for help, playing into the forgettable gag, and then in The Nobody it's re contextualised into his edgy backstory.
Sighh I'm like Sarah in that one episode, THE CONTINUITY!!!! ☹️☹️😭😭😭😭
Bud learned the world is made of cupcakes and rainbows
He's not allowed to express any positive emotion
two rob doodles with no real context behind them
Y'all need to use vector art for Rob more cuz like
Made this in google drawings without a reference, polyline my beloved
Reading through my elmore yearbook for funsies. I love how Rob just writes in bubble writing
You know what new headcanon acquired, Rob is so good at bubble writing he just does it naturally. I'd like to imagine threatening notes to gumball or smth and it's just like, all bubble writing. I don't know how canon this book is cuz Sarah is called Dolly (her old name) and Miss Simian would NOT say that
But I don't really care, it's a fun book and I like it.
Sighh I love Rob as much as the next guy, but I can't keep silent on this. His pre-void design is so god damn UGLY
LIKE EWW WHAT THE HELL IS THIS. WHAT IS THAT STUPID KAREN HAIRCUT. Why does it look so poorly photoshopped on, it's painful to look at. And the hands, don't get me started ON THE HANDS. WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE THAT. THE FUVKIN FINGER NAILS ARE GROSS. And with those stupid shoes, mf looks like he's about to start hitting a jig. And might I add that is the saddest backpack I have ever seen. Who allowed this design, I know he's a background character but still ☹️
Oh and don't even get me started on season 1.
This thing follows me in my nightmares. You know when looking at the old concept posters for tawog you can see Rob... And he doesn't actually look that bad. Like
He actually looks kinda silly y'all, the hair still kinda sucks but it's not as bad, also doesn't have that sad sad backpack. Why couldn't this Rob be the final one, sighhhh 😔
A lot of pre void rob art makes him look super cute and I'm like aww the silly!!! I start to actually like his design and then I get jumpscared by whatever the hell canon is doing. I might be a die hard Rob fan but I can't glaze him I'm sorry.
I think he should be grateful for the void now he looks cool, I am an enjoyer of his Post-void design it is banger. Did he get permanently disfigured, have temporary amnesia, have everybody lose memory of who he used to be, be assigned a role he doesn't wanna play, deal with the knowledge that he's created purely for the amusement of an audience and has to be entertaining otherwise he'll get sent into a pocket dimension of eternal limbo? Yes. But does he have those stupid elf shoes and that ctrl+c ctrl+v haircut anymore? No. The pros outweigh the cons guys.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
I love scrolling through my ibis paint gallery finding some gems fr
These might just be the best things I've ever made
I was always befuddled by Rob's mysterious major in Canadian history considering he's 13 years old and also a drop out. What mysterious course of events must've led up to his stupid major. Was it just... A one off gag you're not supposed to think about??? That's absurd.
Well as I was doing my daily "standing near a window and acting like I'm really deep in thought" the answer came to me. It wasn't a real major. It was a fake one from a random ass website online.
As demonstrated here
Now if that's the case, why didn't he just fake a more useful one? Well I imagine after this said site downloaded like a bajillion virusese and
Moral of the story use a VPN, or smth like that idk. Anyways that's just a theory. A TAWOG THEORY!! thanks for reading.
(the certificate for the 0 people who want it)
Who is that?
Since I'm posting a bunch rn might make use of it. Here's some old art from last year that never saw the light of day lol
