Can we take a moment to reflect on the absolutely toxic obsession Dex would've developed for Frank, if they had met?

Frank would definitely hate it, I think it'd be hilarious (yes im writing fanfiction, anyways)

I'll never be able to make an OC as pretty as this one, I fear. He's perfect.

here's a story: you grow up with the knowledge that you're different, no one needs to tell you this, they do it anyway

it's in their eyes, and in yours. you watch the trees, your heart is prickly with bark, renewing. you learn to accept it, you say with a bitter smile: I'm not human.

there's pride in it, you wear it like a crown of thorns, and then one day you feel something dripping down your arms, you take your shaky hands and find they're covered in blood, trying to pry away your nobility.

one day you wake up human, with your heavy grief, and heavier wanting. but no one taught you to take. you approach love like a stray dog seeking shelter, you wait by the door, sneak in when no one's looking, and run back into the rain when someone realizes.

Despite it all, you are alive. You can still taste the guilt but, God, can you taste the wonder! Like honey, thick in your throat, you came out of it scarred and strange, with skittish limbs and a weary heart, and still, as certain as the rising sun, you love! You are alive, you feel the wind, you hear the ocean calling your name! You meet new people and, as hopeless as anything, you learn to love them, how human of you! To crave someone's company, to sit by them and listen to whatever they want to say, to love, despite the darkness, despite the goodbye. You accept the burden of grief as a consequence of the warmth of love,

Spend your life denying it or learn to embrace it, either way you're human! You raise your head to look at the stars, searching for constellations. Your eyes widen at the sunset, your hands seek some face, some skin to trace and touch, your heart calms at the sight and sound of fire. You find your mouth humming against your will, filling the silence with your soft, soothing voice, you take space on this world! You make a difference, you'll leave a mark, you will be loved, you will be deeply hurt. Through gritted teeth or with a smile.

I will become, despite it all.

You dig into the bone, rip the skin away, try to undress, trying to become something, someone else.

But as you tear and claw, there is only less of you, and no more of anything.
