this is just me but smth i like when it comes to having dark n daisuke as muses is the way that the curse and transformation ends up being such a candid tell in regards to their feelings. daisuke's heart is huge and his feelings are so big for everything and everyone, but he's also at the mercy of his own anxiety and delicate sense of shame, making the curse versatile in metaphor. sometimes it's liking or wanting to protect someone so much that your heart beats for them, but being afraid they'll hate you if you spill a certain secret, or show another side of yourself that you aren't certain they'll accept or find weird. sometimes it's loving what you're doing so much that your heart pounds, you feel alive, and you can't make it stop, but also feeling impostor syndrome, frustration and shame; the insecurity that what you're doing or what you're making isn't actually good, and therefore has no value, leading up to embarrassment. i joke about being cringe but free and really that's what daisuke, at the v least, should hear - since he's the one between himself and dark who's always worried about confessions and being truthful to himself and others.
