we do a little ranting in the tags, as a treat.
#i think a good portion of the fanbase would benefit from never using the word 'narcissist' again#every time i see people claiming with complete sincerity that dennis is a narcissist i go monke mode#the word youre looking for is VAIN. vanity to cover a deep insecurity and mask his actual feelings#any narcissistic traits he possesses are learned from his mother and not inherent.#that's why dee shares them and why he 'confusingly' doesn't fit the mould for a cut and dry NPD diagnosis#begging y'all to look up what happens when narcissist mothers raise golden child sons specifically#den's approval-seeking behaviour is masked by his vanity. he needs others to see him as desirable or he loses his worth#reddit bros and armchair psychologists on the wiki trying to fucking dx him with all kinds of personality disorders i hate to tell you this#but trauma is a hell of a thing. and dennis is not a cartoonishly evil caricature of a narcissist. he's a deeply fucking damaged guy.#not that the two are mutually exclusive. but.
