Ron will never openly admit it but you can tell he genuinely loves the girls being 100% obsessed with him and when andy’s around and being a kid with them he’s definitely confused but happy.

[@WarriorofCathar]

Its hilarious how much he loves them and Diane, but at the same time he's still Ron Swanson and therefore the desperate chugging of Lagavulin 16 after a whole day with the kids.

[@stacyhamilton2619]

I disingenuously disagree and demur.

[@harmonicajay91]

I love that Ron Swanson's entire character arc this series was becoming more and more open with his emotions after what could be considered a psychologically traumatic life. He was raised by a lunatic survivalist, was groomed by and married the woman who helped deliver him (Who also had the same name as his mom), and married a crazy psychobitch who brought out the worst in him (And had the same name as his first wife and his mom). I'd like to believe that all this pretty much closed him off from people and it was Leslie and the Parks Department that helped him come out of his shell. Then he started hanging out with Andy (The adopted son he never knew he had) and because of that he met Diane and her kids and actually had a healthy and meaningful relationship that was good for him. He became a father to her daughters and to their son. Him fully admitting that he loved Diane is such a sweet moment that shows how much she and the girls changed him. Ron still kept his core values in the end, but he also learned to compromise and bend. The ending where he takes a job in the Federal Government as leader of a National Park and tells a bunch of strangers his FULL NAME is the climax of his story. He's learned to open himself up and to let people in. It's one reason why I love this series. The characters truly grew as people.
