daisuke’s desire to be independent and confident and reliable like dark versus dark’s desire for compassion and vulnerability and intimacy like daisuke. it’s never one or the other it’s always both of them at once wanting to be like their inversions and yet thereby producing the exact same singular individual at their core. a devil with a cherub heart and a cherub with a devil’s, both of them in the longing dark!!

#mobile.#cooking and started thinking about how many people ignore the fact #dark desperately wants to be daisuke because they can’t fathom #why im a jerk and everybody loves me.png would ever actually want to change #and be someone kinder so that he could get real intimacy #and actually firmly. legitimately. intimately connect with even just one person #daisuke constantly admires dark for his strength and noble independence #but that comes with the unspoken caveat of loneliness and awkwardness in ever having to be the one #being taken -care- of. that’s what so much of the third light novel was about #dark doesn’t know how to ever say what he wants or to lower his pride and his jealous guard #it makes him; defines him in such a way that even daisuke says it’s ’too undarklike to rely on others’#but dark himself would like to; the way daisuke so readily #accepts and forms bonds as someone who’s helplessly sincere #(yes including dark’s presence and influence forming the necessity of him having to lie)#oghhhh #basically dark ultimately wishing he WAS kinder that he WAS a ‘good’ person #in itself being an infinitely redeeming trait + sooo relatable #for anybody who grew up into an awkward teenager convinced there was something wrong with them #and that things were already too late. came to all the unfortunate and unhelped self realizations #yeah….#end ramble eiehbensjxhcj
