Everyone in the Onstad House is definitely part of Ray's entourage.

Can someone link me to the thrift store arc?

I feel like the only two who would even try to say otherwise are Cornelius (who is retired and fairly well-to-do by his airs) and Roast Beef (who totally is, and knows it deep down, but dude does not want to be dependent as a result of Circumstances, and has his pride).

I'm sure both would reject the term out of pride, but Cornelius pays the bills by hack writing and Roast Beef still lives in Ray's pool house as far as I can remember.

Wasn't there a debate ITT some while back, where someone was disappointed that Cornelius and Teodor were conning Ray?

I feel like Ray won't let people straight up mooch, but he's also oblivious enough that somebody could just hang out a lot and crash in spare bedroom #87 and subsist off whatever food Ray orders for everybody for quite some time before he got wise, if ever.

Ray's thing with Roast Beef is such as I would be with an old friend if I won the lottery. "Dude, you wanna just hang... forever?"

Roast Beef probably pays Ray rent but Ray gives it away to a charity he is pretty sure Beef likes.

Dont forget that Beef is actually rich/rich-ish and Ray handles the money for him.
Beef told him to give most of it away, but I am sure Ray stuck it in investments for his buddy.

I was thinking of that, too, beef pretty much was like "yeah make this all go away" and ray did whatever with it. His accounts with the bank of -=ray=- are quite far in the positive. I assume rent being covered was part of that deal.

Ray doesn't care much about money but he knows what's up. "Oh. Hey T. You never call any more." He saw Teodor coming over any time like the place was his playground and pointed it out. Teodor just joked it off but it was there.

Teodor is also all the things a woman waits for a man to grow out of but that's another discussion.

He's insecure and has poor self-esteem. He has many good qualities and many skills, but the second he approaches the prospect of a romantic partner or a career he immediately begins second-guessing himself, putting himself down, and spinning elaborate fantasies about how everyone secretly regards him with pity and contempt.

The Phillipe thing is his only redeeming quality, and I've said that in this thread before I'm pretty sure. But he's whiny and aimless and pretentious and his whole thing seemed like he was waiting for the world to wake up and appreciate him. You know, as cartoon stuffed bears do.

Readers of Achewood sometimes think that they are like Ray, or Lyle, or Beef, or sometimes even Cornelius. But deep down these people know that they are like Teodor.
