#99% sure this isnt even true because theyre at least polite to one another? but why dont rly see much of the interdakota dynamic

[pebbles-scatter]

my strangest headcanon ive developed (that im not even sure is supported in canon even a tiny bit) is that i see the dakotas as being cruel to one another. or at least not seeing dakotas as something important, seeing each other and themself as something expendable.

i guess the scenario in my mind is dakota not really understanding why cav cares about the well-being of the other dakotas. this isn't out of like ... self-centeredness, more akin to self-hatred. but cruel nonetheless.

a special kind of cruelty. one born out of self-deprecation but not self-inflicted. it hurts no one but dakota, but is it a victimless act? not as i see it.
