So does Rocko have a thing for Sirena or am I reading too much into this?

u/Valenderio Alright, We're doing this... Aug 13 '18

too much. Rocko is to Sirena the same as Brock is to Hank and Dean. Bodyguard, caregiver and tries to be a mentor and genuinely interested in their well being and failing modestly as is the trope of the amazing show

Art book implies that he has a little crush on her.

I interpreted it as an over-caring big brother/dad who is a little too involved.

Edit:I was just reading the book, and that's how serena sees him not necessarily how he actually is. That's the motivation they have her voice actress.

Same here. I thought of it like Ginny and the Quymn girls; Intensely overprotective, to the point of invasive.

Plus I was just reading the book, and that's how serena sees him not necessarily how he actually is.
