So Derek was attracted to Casey's cousin, Victoria, who looks like she could be Casey's twin.

Which could mean nothing.

Finally, Dasey ‼️ Ok end of my lwd streak for now, obviously i had to draw my sillies ❤️

Watching Life With Derek for the first time since I was a kid and I have the dumbest complaint but i hate the change they made to the house after season 1 they put the stairs up against the wall and I hate it lol

[thisisadaseyblog]

I've recently finished all of "Life with Derek". It is a fun show not gonna lie. To imagine that the many Dasey fanfictions is the reason how I found out about this show and got myself interested in it 🤣. Do not regret it!

Speaking of fics, can somebody recommend me good Dasey fanfictions? For later...

This is reminding me of when I made the house on Sims lol

Okay, so this is a dasey question that has been plaguing my mind for quite some time and I feel like you, the brilliant and talented dasey extraordinaire, would be able to give me an adequate answer:

Why is it that in most high school Dasey fanfics (at least the ones I’ve read) do Derek and Casey only spend the night/hang out in Derek’s room? I find it to be an interesting event that seems to repeatedly happen in dasey fanfics and honestly, I think it makes so much sense but I can’t quite figure out why it does. So I was hoping to get your take on that, even though I know you specialize more in post-highschool fics.

Thanks for your amazing writing!

My goodness gracious me. Who spilled the beans on one of my biggest weaknesses: flattery? Who did it?

Oooooh. That *is* a question. Why *do* so many fics have them hang out/spend the night in Derek's room?

Okay. So, first I thought about logistics, but I honestly can't tell and don't know where Derek's room is situated upstairs except that it's next to Casey's. I think Casey's might be closer to the bathroom? Which would likely mean there would be more traffic going past her bedroom: and if that's the case, that might be one of the reasons. People who know the show a lot more than me might have figured out that it's just *safer* for Derek's room to be the private room.

But, since I'm not 100% sure about that, I'll move on to what I do know for sure, and that's Derek. Derek is very possessive about his room. It's his room; we see how hard he fights to keep it. Furthermore, if I remember correctly, Edwin tells us very early on that no one goes in Derek's room without his permission. Casey, obviously completely ignores this rule, BUT the three younger siblings do still have a healthy amount of respect/fear. So I think they would knock. Do they have the same kind of fear of Casey? No. So there is a greater chance of, especially Lizzie, just walking into Casey's room (even though we all know the main intruders are Derek and Casey themselves).

I also can't see a high school Derek being cool about sleeping in Casey's bed. He's spent soooooo much time whining about the way she smells, her perfume, her shampoo, her laundry detergent, her body wash -- to admit otherwise (that he actually loves the way she smells) would be to admit defeat. And I find it unlikely that any version of high school Derek would be comfortable enough to admit those kinds of feelings for Casey, to admit that kind of tenderness. Would a high school Derek admit that he finds her hot and that he likes her? Yeah, if he thought he would win himself a Casey, he just might. But there's a certain amount of vulnerability in sleeping in someone else's room. It's... no longer your territory. And as long as Derek and Casey are in Derek's room, he's still got home turf advantage.

(Never mind that we ALL know that Casey has him wrapped around her finger, but let's allow the boy some dignity)

Now, while we can say that all of that is equally true for Casey, or for any human being, I think we all get the feeling that for Casey to admit her feelings for Derek, to sneak around with him, to make out or have sex with him, would already be the height of vulnerability for her. Our Casey, who narrates the show because she wants to control the narrative, who wants us to know her side of the story before anyone else, who is so deep in denial about her feelings for Derek... If she ever actually admitted it, then she's already been so very, very brave. So for her to then submit enough to agree to Derek's room... Well, whatever. She's already done the most difficult thing she could do; this is minor in comparison.

Furthermore, I think Casey's romantic side would be thrilled to spend in the night in her boyfriend's arms, surrounded by his scent and his heart, and although she would likely make him tidy it up before she spent any significant time in there (and then finish the job to her standards)... I think even that domesticity would charm her.

...So, yeah. I think that's why a lot of writers choose Derek's room, and why we all go along with it. It just fits, don't it?

Favorite underrated Dasey moment in the show/movie?

😚😚😚😚😚

Ooooooh. Ohhhhh.

Okay so I can only speak up to Prank Wars (which is, like halfway through Season 2) because I suck, and only Life with Luca because I barely remember Vacation with Derek, BUT.

There's a scene in The Room (edit: Puppy Dog Tails), where all the kids are listening to George and Nora fight in their room, and Derek and Casey are pressed against the door, and then they hear the adults get ready to leave and they all turn and run up the stairs, and I LOVE how Derek pushes Casey in front of him. They barely know each other, but he's already protecting her... Somewhat. Or at least not leaving her behind.

I dunno, I think it's really really sweet.

AND for Life with Luca, I really love when Derek is walking around "talking on the phone", "planning the party" and Casey sees right through him and tells him to stop. Because *I* believed him, and I bet most people would believe him, and yet, despite them supposedly being distanced for years, she still sees through him like THAT. and I love that.

no but like dasey hits because one of the first things you learn about derek is that he ‘always gets what he wants’. it’s something true and it’s something he prides himself on. things come easily for him. so it’s super funny if the one thing he wants more than anything is something he can’t have. like, he’s in love with his step-sister lol.

and one of the first things you learn about casey is that she likes rules and order and things done a certain way. so she is like the last person in the world you’d expect to do something really unconventional like, idk, hook up with her step-brother. so it’s funny if she wants to.

Guys I had a total Casey moment this morning and I’m still not completely calm

I am too embarrassed to go into how stupid I was, but basically I caused an almost flooding in my bathroom which then leaked through the ceiling into the kitchen a little. It was 100% my fault too

The leaking has stopped but I will feel uneasy all day I’m sure

The only silver lining is it was a Life with Luca moment. Now I’ve just got to remember how to breathe again

[thisisadaseyblog]

I am not surprised

[thisisadaseyblog]

I just think that Derek and Casey

[thisisadaseyblog]

BROOOOOO I had a similar experience with this SAME VIDEO (although I’d seen lwd before)

If somebody showed you this screenshot and you had no idea what the show was or who these characters were, what would you think?

[thisisadaseyblog]

The chokehold dasey has on me is embarrassing.
