having. Thoughts on BS!Dee and how a major theme of her character in the au is that she is Quite Literally living in Jack's shadow after he died, but she doesn't even mind it.

if anything, she's proud that she's become similar to him. even if it's not in the greatest ways. like, imagine that:

you've unconsciously become so similar to a dead man, one who's death effectively knocked over the dominoes of you becoming like this, that when everyone else looks at you, all they can see when they look at you is the spitting image of him staring them in the face.

#dsaf au #dsaf #brother's shadow au #dee kennedy #i'm Very Normal about BS!Dee 😊 (< lying)#might do some art about this idea later #like a repeated thing that Dee is told by various different people in this au is the phrase:#'You remind me a lot of your brother/You're turning out like Jack/You're just like your brother.'#(with those all being said by Dave Peter (pre-death) and Henry respectively)#and what's Dee's response almost every time?#'I'll take that as a compliment.'#she loved Jack. she was close to him and losing him Crushed her. to make matters worse (thanks to Henry) she basically got gaslit for years #-into believing she never witnessed his death. she spent years wondering if she had lost it.#of course she'd take any comparisons to a man she practically idolized as a compliment #like don't get me wrong: she loves Peter too and his death also screwed her up really bad. but like. She Directly Witnessed Jack's Murder #y'know. the guy who took care of her. the guy who tried his best given the circumstances. Her Older Brother.#she also spent more time around Jack when she was younger. she and Jack also had that kind of bond #just. AAAAAAA BS!DEE!!! MY BELOVED!!
