Dexter & Debra Book Quotes, Day 15

"She was not actually my sister, not really, not a real relation of any kind, not at all. Of course I was very fond of her, but- But what? Why did I hesitate? Of course the thing was impossible. I knew it was unthinkable, even as I thought it. Not just because it was Deb, although it was, of course. But such a strange thought came into my poor dismal battered head and I could not bat it away: What would Harry say?"

[morgan-mania]

seeing all the things that Debra does for Dexter because she is in love, everything she sacrifices (her values ​​and principles), the pain in her eyes (and the clear jealousy in so many shitty scenes) and her saying several times that she didn't do it not wanting to be together feeling the way you feel about him (which implies this more than brotherly love) is simply KILLING ME.

I so wish there was a way to make her pain go away, to punch Dexter and say "Hey, why can't you see that Deb is your other half? You are the yin and she is your yang, the light of your darkness, the hope that is missing inside you"

like, fuck, they were born for each other, and all she does from the beginning of the series is degrade herself and work for his love for nothing, and know that the series ends without ever having the reciprocity that she I was looking for IT HURT ME A LOT.

I'm giving up, I'm very sad, I feel so fucking sorry for my poor girl, she suffered so much ☹️

“I don’t know how you’re still hungry” “always” hunger as a metaphor for a lust for violence is always sexy 🫶 but I am personally unable to look away from the fact that also Dexter wanted the last bite & made double sure Deb didn’t want it first because if she did he would’ve given it to her. episode 3 had so many wins for the DebDex girlies everyone say thank you episode 3 😭🫶

My unpopular opinion about the first Dexter ending is that it would have been a GREAT ending if Hannah McBitch wasn't in the final season at all. It's so incredibly nonsensical how Harrison looks at Hannah as a mom when he barely spent any time with her. He spent more time with Jamie, how come he never confabulated Jamie as his mother? That would have made more sense. Jamie could have also taken Harrison with her (even if it was made clear to the audience that her keeping him would be temporary) at the end; they didn't need to bring Hannah back.

It feels like the only reason to bring Hannah back was for her to take Harrison, since they had decided to kill off Deb. The last we see of Hannah in season 7, she appeared to be scorned by Dexter and ready to get revenge (the black orchid she placed at his door was definitely a THREAT). But then she returns and is ready to play nice? Makes no sense. Also makes no sense Dexter would have been okay leaving Harrison at her care, when she could easily kill him if his presence inconvenienced her in any way. Let's not forget she already tried to kill Deb, someone Dexter cares deeply about, because Deb had become a nuisance to her in season 7. What guarantee does Dexter have she will not attempt the same with Harrison at some point if she feels he's gonna get her caught? Or she doesn't want to take care of him anymore, etc? But I digress.

My point is, there was no role for Hannah in the final season outside of becoming Harrison's mother, since the role the show wanted to fit her in was already taken by Deb since the first freaking season. And if the show's PTB would have allowed Deb alone to fulfill that role in the end, even if they killed her off at the end of the series, the ending would have been actually quite solid (as much as I HATE that they killed her off).

Since the first season we had hints toward Deb being the person who makes Dexter realize he does in fact have regular human being emotions. THAT was Deb's ultimate role when it comes to Dexter, along with Rita's, along with Lumen's, along with Harrison's roles... A role they ultimately decided to give to this bland and late-introduced character of Hannah McKay. The show acts like Hannah did that for Dexter, when the catalyst for this realization (because personally I do believe Dexter always had the capacity to experience these feelings all along) was RITA. It's so annoying how the show treats Hannah like this life-changing character in Dexter's life, when he already knew he could experience love through Rita, when Deb has been there all along, when he already knew he had empathy and compassion when helping Lumen... All of them already showed Dexter he's more than just a dead-inside psychopath. But yes, the one who ultimately was meant to play this role in its most powerful expression in this show, in Dexter's discovery of his own self as a person with a complex range of emotions, was indeed Deb.

Whether you see her as his adopted sibling or a romantic interest is irrelevant, the first episode of the first season establishes Debra as the catalyst to Dexter's realization of his own humanity and the depth of his capacity to feel. Dexter says in the first episode: "I don't have feelings about anything, but if I could have feelings at all I'd have them for Deb". This line alone establishes this theme for the series. So an ending in which Dexter realizes his own capacity to feel things through Deb would have been ideal. Even when they chickened out of the romantic plot after season 6, they could have still gone with this theme and completed the story thread that was woven into the show since the very first episode of the very first season. And if they had to kill her off, then an ending in which Dexter understood he was the common denominator in the disgrace of those he loves, and decides to take his life after the loss of Deb, that would have also been a better ending. Tragic, but solid. An ending that made sense. Dexter jumping into the water after Deb and that being the end would have also been solid. But, like I said, if only Hannah's presence wasn't a thing in the end. Because Hannah muddies the waters. Because she detracts from Dexter's motivations to do what he's doing at the very end. Because, again, the show made is so it was Hannah's presence in Dexter's life that which enabled him to become aware of his own humanity and capacity to feel love and his want to be more "normal". They made it so Hannah was the one person with a magic touch to turn the wooden boy into a real boy 🙄. A character that meant so little both to the audience and to Dexter's story in a broad context.

Tl;Dr: if Hannah wasn't there, and we still got the same ending in which Deb gets killed and Dexter decides essentially to commit suicide by driving into the hurricane, and ultimately failing to kill himself, that would have made this terrible ending into something more digestible when taken in the context of the story that was being told right up until the moment Hannah shows up in season 7; a story in which Dexter becomes aware of his own humanity and capacity to feel, and his own reality as a killer ("I destroy everyone I love"), through his relationship with Deb and his love for her (again, whether you want to see them as adoptive siblings or in a romantic context).

Hi. It’s me. I have been MIA but I promise I’m not dead. 🙃 All these new Dexter announcements have made me consider writing again but I’m not sure I have the time or energy. In all seriousness, I cannot write at the pace I used to. I burned myself out which is why I stopped.

Either way, I’m starting to get really stoked about the new Dexter shows coming out. And please please please let Jennifer be cast in Dexter: Resurrection. I cannot fathom a Dexter show without Deb.

The only thing that makes me feel better about not getting a Debster romance is watching New Blood and seeing Dexter torn to pieces over Deb's death, even 10 years after the fact. His conversations with her- his days spent with her in his head- literally if you never watched the original series and only watched New Blood, you would think he was imagining his dead wife, not his dead foster sister.

Two things really stuck out to my Debster heart in New Blood. One was that table scene where they reach for each others hands, and then suddenly, he remembers that she's not actually there. It really showed how much he was tormented over her death even after so much time had passed. It was the biggest fuck you she could have gave him while simultaneously still loving him. He ruined her. She became contaminated with his dark passenger, and it destroyed her. Her love for him was her downfall, and it was her turn to ruin him, and that's exactly what she did in the afterlife.

And 2 was the very end when he's dying and he's reaching for her one last time before he slips away. He knew he was dying, and he wanted his last moments to be with her, even if it was only his imagination that allowed him to do it.

Their love for each other went so much deeper than a normal sibling relationship, and frankly, after all the death and destruction Dexter caused, it melts my heart that Deb's death is the only one that haunts him to the core.

Dexter & Debra Book 2 Quotes, Day 12

"'We have some work to finish up.'

'What sort of work?'

'Don't be a jerk,' she said. 'Come on over,' and she hung up.

This was more than a little bit irritating. In the first place, I didn't know of any kind of unfinished work, and in the second, I was not aware of being a jerk- a monster, yes, certainly, but on the whole a very pleasant and well-mannered monster. And to top it all off, the way she hung up like that, simply assuming I had heard and would tremble and obey. The nerve of her. Sister or not, vicious arm punch or no, I trembled for no one.

I did, however, obey."

I wanted to write a Debster fanfic based on the episode "Argentina" and Deb's confession. Where Dex can't stop thinking about what Deb said and is confused thinking that maybe he likes her because, as he said at the beginning of the show, she's the only person in the world who loves him. I really imagine him with Hannah and thinking about Deb that night, distracted, sleeping with Hannah and thinking the whole time that ironically it wasn't his sister in her place, but that maybe he wishes it was.

or would that be too insane? please tell me I'm not. i really love them, and fuck all the rest.
