#He’s like oh. These are weird people. The ‘zealous geek’ and ‘emo loner’

This is from lrb but when I say Dism and Siffrin are similar this is the heart of what I mean ✨
#just pav things#Dism’s misguided hero complex draws from this very principle#He believes masking his personality under layers of false altruism and bravery will win the favour of those around him#Thus (hopefully) succeeding in his quest to abolish loneliness and feel accepted and loved by society ✨#Similarly to Siffrin there’s that idea that exemplifying ‘normality’ IS perfection#And both have the internal self-loathing for their perceived and actual differences from what they deem normal :)#Dism HATES when you bring up his kidnapping for this reason#It’s like an incurable blemish on his personhood. A forever label. He’s a nameless (heh) statistic :3#This is also why he reacts negatively in Arc 1 when he learns that Cynthia and Inigo have no friends outside of each other#Inigo plainly tells him that they’re outcasts and poor Dism#He’s like oh. These are weird people. The ‘zealous geek’ and ‘emo loner’#Am I weird? Am I just the ‘kidnapped’ one? *silent identity crisis ensues*#The falseness of his relationship with Inigo and Cynthia at this point blinds him to the possibility that they’re all he could ever need 😭#Anyways welcome to another episode of Dandelions and the Horrible Things They Think About Others :>#But I also think that inadvertently completes my thought process here#Sure Dism is far from perfect both outwardly and psychologically#He’s awkward and naive and perhaps caught in some warped idealism in the penultimate quest for love#but he’s also compassionate and sensitive and gentle#And over time he coaxes his more honest and positive traits out of him#And look! He has his partner and his whole friend group to show for it <3
