Rigby IS interested in girls. Maybe not in dating them just yet (he is immature and child-like, still), but he IS interested in them.

Here are some of the quotes that prove that:

- "They're just  gonna sit around talking  about their feelings ...fully clothed."

- "*Rigby looking trough the screen, telling Mordecai who to invite to the party*  Oooh, deffinatly invite HER !"

And the fact that he said Eileen is hot without her glasses on (even if he did just mean 'hot') that is probably still clear proof that he likes girls.

I get that you're a Morby fan, and I also get it's easy to start bealiving the ship's real while there are so many Morby fans about. (Not that there's anything wrong with being a Morby fan.)

But lets take a look at the real picture for a second:

Rigby is terrirorial about Mordecat, that's true.

But Mordecai is his best friend, and since Rigby is immature about love, he probably has a plan of them staying together forever having BRO time.

Let's also look back at the flashbacks when Rigby was a kid and was pretty much neglected by his peers (even his best friend).

And then later on comes Margaret, who Mordecai sadly seemed to find more important then his best friend at times.

Can't you piece it together?

She was an obvious treat. Although it wasn't all spoken out loud.

But she was a treat to his friendship with Mordecai, nothing else.

Besides, what Mordecai and Rigby have is already more then casual romance. They're best friends, they're bros.

Why ruin that?

Now with Rigleen: Mordecai and Rigby already are best friends, as I pointed out. And Eileen doesn't seem like she's gonna start not liking Rigby any time soon, even though the desire is now more hidden. (Yet, still visable.)

And like it or not, Mordecai IS gonna find someone sooner or later.

It would only be fair if Rigby does too.

And they would actually make a great match, I think. Just look at how joyful Eileen while messing around with him. Just look how she lets her child-spirit flow.

And Eileen could also push Rigby to do better. And would always be there for him, give him support, a boost etc.

It could work greatly, even if there were to be some trouble, which is expected at first with the whole A, B personality type.

ThomasxEileen: Dude...That would be so boring and meaningless I can't even comment on that...

And I have 0 idea on how THAT could be more possible then Rigleen.

Also, again on your Morby thoughts: When William Salyers  (the voice of Rigby) was asked about Morby, he said he doesn't mind it, but confirmed those were NOT J.G's intentions.

Morby isn't even close to cannon in the actul show. It doesn't even exist. That's what I meant. xD I didn't say he didn't have sexual feelings towards girls. Jeez. I said he wasn't interested in them. Mordecai seems to go out of his way to try and kiss girls and such, tried to 'get' with Margaret, where as Rigby has shown nothing to insist that he wants to actually be with a girl. And if so, they have been very vague. I wasn't trying to crush your OTP in any way, just writing down my opinion on it. S'cool bro. No beef, yo!

I just kind-of see the same thing that happened with Mordaret if Rigleen becomes canon. - Not the "I can't be your girlfriend/boyfriend" thing. It's just they'd be really forced. (Again, Margaret didn't show any interest and, seemed very b*tchy, shoving so many guys into his face. And saying that she only went with him to do Eileen a solid... Even if they were only friends, that's still shallow to say that to a guy.. There was a bucket-load of her liking back later on which didn't fit due to what she was like previously. - And I feel the same with Rigby.) Rigby has been to the point of not even wanted to sit next to Eileen.. Later, he grew up a little and has become friends at least, but still seems more interested in doing things for Mordecai and takes Eileen away from him and Margaret. (Meteor Shower) - And to only be friends with Eileen when he is needing something (training) is a little shallow. (however the hug was adorable) - If they end up together, I'd imagine Rigby doing something that would hurt Eileen due to his foolishness and childishness. (Like Finn and Flame Princess from Adventure Time.) The reason why I'd find that Morby would be a better couple is that - I see them working long-term. Rigby is really jealous of Mordecai even just being best-friends. And even little comments like "Why did you call her in the first place?" seem a little.. Over-protective?.. I don't know. He goes a little far with his jealousy of Mordecai. I just see him taking the relationship seriously, and I can't imagine what he'd be like with Eileen..

I am fine with admitting that, although I really like Morby and find them cute, they undoutibly would not happen in this day and age of Cartoon Network. (I don't forsee any (non-secret) homosexual couple in children's cartoons any time soon.) - And, although I haven't read anything about J.G saying anything regarding Morby, I'll take your word on that as I'd believe it, being that Mordecai is based on himself.

Oh, and ThomasxEileen - I was saying, anything can happen with them because we hardly know Thomas' character yet. He could be the perfect partner for Eileen. For all we know, he could be the perfect partner for STARLA. Anything can happen. So there's a bigger possibility for anything to happen with him. I'm sorry about my previous comment.

I was being impulsive, and didn't really have a clear head.

Here's my opinion on pretty much everything you mentioned:

The whole Mordecai and Margaret thing was sweet. And it was the original idea, but while I didn't recognize Margaret as being such a b*** - it just wasn't that interesting.

Margaret lacks a fair character, where Eileen does not.

The Morby thing...I honestly don't mind it, but even if it was allowed and it came true; Then everything would literary be about romance. At least between the two. Instead of the main charcaters being best friends, they would be a couple. And that just doesn't sound like something that I would enjoy watching.

Plus, I value their friedship a great deal. It goes deeper then any casual romance, as I probably already stated many time before.

If they were a couple, they would show their care by 'kisses and hugs', and that would make their love pretty obvious.

But as best friends, it's shown in ways such as...Rigby jumping into a volcano right after Mordecai does. and he had no plan, and he didn't even think about what might happen. He didn't have to, though. What would life be like, without a close friend you've had ever since you were a kid, and who you spend at least 90% of your time with?

Not trying to change your opinion here, just letting out mine.

I love them as best friends, I really do.

And like you mention, Mordecai really seems kinda desperate for a girlfiend. Maybe desperate is a bit of a harsh word, but romance is far more likely to be his number one priority then Rigby's.

Rigby's is friedship. I have little doubt about that.

And you're right. He's still pretty childish, immature and he just goes with his 'gut'. But I can see that being a positive thing too, ya know?

If he'll be up for it, it'll be more then intersteing if paired with someone like Eileen, who keeps relaying on her brain, and is more mature and determent.

I don't find Rigleen forced, just because Eileen and Margaret were best friends. The show came a long way. Plus, Morderet is dead. (Or at least having a long pause.)

I think it can go either way if they became a couple. It can go pretty positive, as Rigby's childish, usually carless nature can make Eileen more relaxed and certainly bring her a lot joy and meaning. (See 'Death Bear')

And Eileen's support and determination could make Rigby reach his full potential.

But if it goes my way, it's probably for the best if it happens somewhere by the end of the show. Where things start getting into place, maybe.

And as I'm sure Mordecai will have someone by the end, I would hate to see the show end without Rigby having someone as well. That just doesn't seem like a happy ending for Rigby.

Not because he wouldn't have a partner, but because Mordecai seems like the kind of person who would take it really seriously, really fast with his significant other. He falls way to easily.

I can see what you mean with it going the wrong way with Eileen, though.

Rigby and Eileen are pretty much B and A personality types, which makes thing uncertain.

If it goes badly, I imagine a similar thing you do. But I have a feeling they'd stay friends even if their romance wouldn't work out. Since they created a bound that Mordecai and Margaret didn't.

I can also imagine him getting tired of her nagging, and her getting tired of his lazy-a**.

But, if they both found a middle line, their differnces would blent nicely.

As for the Thomas and Eileen thing...I just can't see it. And until someone writes down just how it would work, be interesting and be meaningful in any way... I'm done talking about it.

As far as I've seen of Thomas, he doesn't seem like he'd fill any of that with Eileen. And I don't sense any drastic changes with him.

Just my personal thoughts.
