A Sketch Of Will Graham I Did Years Back. I Found It A Couple Of Days Ago In A Folder Where I Used To

I didn't know there was a term for it. For me. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart ❤️

finding a term that you’ve never heard before but it resonating with you so deeply is a really cool experience

and that is why research on queer identities, whether gender, sexuality, or romance, is so needed!

Don't read if you haven't finished watching Dexter and Dexter New Blood.

I'm gonna ask opinions to people regarding Dexter's "companions" (like Harry is) throughout the shows so if you haven't finished them yet, you WILL encounter spoilers.

If you ignore the show's logic, which would make them hallucinations/Dexter's own conscience manifesting as them/Dark Passengers, what do you think Harry, Brian and Deb are?

Cause the original story was more supernatural than what they made the TV show to be so I was curious to know other people's own interpretation. Again, don't mind what the show intended, or what's logical cause of it but how YOU, personally, interpreted their portrayals.

My own interpretation:

Harry has been Dex's own conscience (seasons 1-4 roughly but I could remember wrong, correct me if so) mainly due to the fact that when he appeared it was always Dexter zoning out and talking with him inside his own mind.

While later (seasons 5-8) he was a ghostly guide of sorts. Specifically due to a line he said in 8x12 that went something like: "I never thought this day would come, the day that you wouldn't need me anymore" which I always interpreted as a ghost saying goodbye after having been kind of a guardian for a long time.

With Brian too it was both depending on the situation.

In his first appearance post-death in season 2 he had a small line of dialogue with Dexter that went something like: "You're still here" - "I never left" - "Yes, you did. I killed you." - "You just took my life." And I always saw that as a, and read it in between the lines, "You killed me but I wanted to stay so now my soul is bound to you" kind of thing.

Same in Nebraska, i perceived him as a ghost throughout the whole episode.

In some other occasions though it was clear it was Dexter hallucinating so back to my point, he was a mix.

With Deb it's actually easier. Since she was always somewhat kind toward Dexter (excluding when she tried to kill both of them and her, very reasonable, crashout when she found out what he was) I hardly doubt her in New Blood to have been a ghost.

I'm fairly convinced she's always been Dexter's own conscience beating him up on it due to the fact that he was ridden by guilt for not having stopped Saxon in time and for having pulled the plug on her (even though she was already brain dead by then).

This exact point but with tv shows and movies, especially characters from them, that I'm currently obsessing over. Currently being the key word because I'll be the first one to put my hands forward and say "things are like this (as far as I remember) or (to the best of my understanding given what I have to work with)". And I'll happily accept someone just responding with an explaination or similar.

But not when I'm completely, utterly, undoubtedly sure. Not when the thing were discussing about is canonical and the person in question is trying to give their own interpretation going on a rant about how "they actually meant that cause of that one throwaway line they said jokingly blah blah". Like sweetheart, that's not what the og source says.

(Obv ships and headcanons don't count, live and let live, everyone has their own opinions on that and as ling as you dont harm no one, it's no problem. I'm talking about people actively trying to push stupid propaganda down your throat because they feel the need to have the characters comply to their bigotry, racism, homophobia and similar beliefs)

One of my best traits is that I'm not defensive of thoughts or ideas I'm not sure about. If I vaguely remember something being some way, and someone who's more familiar with the subject goes "actually, no, they changed that, these days it's this way, and has been like that for the past 17 years", I'm only grateful of that. If something coming out of my mouth might be wrong, it's no surprise or insult to me to find out that it was.

One of my worst traits is that I am aggressively defensive of thoughts and ideas I am sure about. If I'm talking about something I'm very familiar with academically and in my personal life, and someone comes to correct me incorrectly like "um actually [blatantly wrong and regurgitated tumblr pop culture misconception, that is also worded poorly]", I am going to rip the leg off the nearest piece of furniture and beat you with it.
