Another thing! Why is Dex seen as the violent little ball of fist fighting? I really want to see pacifist Dex, who has seen a lot of violence. I really want pacifist Dex who grew up with a brother whos fist’s where always bloody. I really want pacifist Dex, who get’s really angry but can’t throw punches, because his mom already has one son in prison for assault, she does not need another one. 

A Dex that has seen what war can do to a man, as his father went to war to help support his family. A Dex that has so much rage, and expresses it through creating computer programs, because that is an art in itself. A Dex that doesn’t ever drop his gloves on the ice, because he can’t afford to lose this scholar ship. A Dex who has seen so many good men go bad because of one punch- because really, all it takes is one punch, and then your throwing another one. 

A Dex that can yell and scream and shout, but will never raise a finger to anyone, because he just can’t. A Dex that hates the fact that he can’t but also loves it, because it proves he beat the game. A Dex that will take a beating, but won’t dish it out, and when Nursey asks, “Dear god, Will, why didn’t you fight back?” He doesn’t have a ligament answer. A Dex who once got slapped for being unintentional homophobic (he had a genuine question, he wasn’t taught all these things. I know that this happens, it happened to me.) , and when everyone in the haus was just waiting for him to slap back, he kinda just left. 

A Dex that will raise his voice, but never a fist.
