He's Such An Underrated Character And Like The Only Sane Person In The Earlier Books

"once I'm gone, Dexter's going to need a new best friend"

This is getting ridiculous... I filtered any tags that have something to do with SoW spoilers, but whenever I see blocked posts on my dashboard I just click on them anyways, because I´m curious and keep telling myself that one teeny tiny spoiler won´t hurt

My self control is like non existent :(

Time for random Dexter headcanons:

- He totally uses his magic instead of a microwave whenever he wants to warm up something. It´s way faster and so much cooler.

- He doesn´t like to stay in one place for too long but if he has to, then he´d always chose his apartment in Dublin. It´s home. Whenever he goes there, he leaves lots of trinkets he found during his travels. By now the apartment looks like a tourist shop. The other dead men call him a clutterer but Val thinks it´s wicked. 

- There´s a framed picture of all the Dead Men together on his nightstand but whenever the others come over, he hides it because he knows that Saracen and Erskine would make fun of him.

- He's an overthinker. Sometimes everything gets just too much and it´s just too much pain. In those moments he really needs a drink - or rather one too many. 

- While Saracen is the womanizer, Dexter is known to seek comfort in someone else´s bed when he´s drunk. 

- All the overthinking causes insomnia. When things are really bad and he lays awake the whole night, he´ll watch documentaries on YouTube. That´s why he´s an expert on the most random and most useless subjects.

- Cats just love him. Even the really grumpy ones. He´s like a magnet for them.

- He heard about what went down between Ghastly and Tanith from Erskine but didn´t realize how much it hurt Ghastly until he talked to him at the Requiem Ball. He never forgave himself for not checking up on his friend sooner. 

- Out of all the dead men he was closest to Saracen but Erskine was a close second. That´s why his betrayal hit him especially hard. 

- Most of the time he prefers to listen and doesn´t talk too much unless he has to say something important. That´s why he´s the go-to person for the other dead men if they need to talk about something. 

This is canon 😭😭😭

Well, that's a callout...

INTJ aesthetic things:

Getting a rush of adrenaline off of solving problems. Nothing beats that “eureka” moment!

Feeling profound joy upon entering a bookstore.

Walking into walls (and closed doors).

Hitting your legs on table corners.

Tripping on stairs.

I think you get it- being slightly physically inept.

Learning a small new piece of information and having everything come together like a huge mind-puzzle. Then, feeling like an absolute genius.

Finding peace in rainstorms and hot drinks.

Being so engulfed in a good book that the passage of time becomes arbitrary.

Feeling way deeper than other people will ever know.

Having arguments with yourself.

Changing paths because you saw someone you know in public.

Having a thought, and then multiple sub-thoughts, and then branching out all thoughts from there, analysing them, and coming to a bigger conclusion based on the assessment.

Either feeling like you can solve all the mysteries of the universe, or do nothing at all.

Sighing in relief upon entering [favourite subject] class.

Putting headphones in and feeling the world slowly fade away.

On the outside, looking completely normal. On the inside, questioning the existence human race and its cosmic insignificance.

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

Kenobi was luminous, a transparent being, a window onto a sunlit meadow of the Force.

Skywalker was a storm cloud, flickering with dangerous lightning, building the rotation that threatens a tornado.

genuinely hate that the german wird for concise is prägnant, because whenever I want to translate it into english my brain tells me it’s pregnant

I keep thinking about that tweet asking what would sp be like if one of the other dead men mentored Valkyrie and I can’t stop imagining the chaos that would have been Val and Saracen. Instead of the romantically inept straight™️ phase 1 val we could’ve had smooth talking lesbian/bisexual Val (whichever you’re preference) from the start

Just imagine how the Caelan situation would’ve played out:

Valkyrie: so there’s this vampire...

Saracen: ah, we’ve all been there Valkyrie. My best advice is to just sleep with him and get it out of your system.

Valkyrie: you’ve slept with a vampire?

Saracen: Valkyrie at this point there’s not much I haven’t slept with... except maybe the sea hag, but that’s purely because I can never seem to find her.

Valkyrie (looking horrified): what about the children of the spider?

Saracen:

Saracen: Anyway, moving on...

Why the heck did I give this post a like?? This is awful and making me really sad :( 

Just thinking about how Dexter is completely alone and everyone he loves is dead and knowing Landy he's probably going to die soon and if he does it'll probably be for a pointless reason
