Dominique “Dom” Dipierro is a character from Mr. Robot. She is an FBI agent who is assigned to solve the 5/9 case. She is shown to be a determined young woman who has noble goals in her heart and wants to solve the case. But she later sees that all of this isn’t an easy task and her obsession with solving the 5/9 case might affect her career and sanity. (Spoilers)

Early Life

Unlike Elliot and Darlene, Dom had a very good family life. She was born and raised in New Jersey. Her mother lives somewhere in Philadelphia. She has two brothers, one young named Joseph who has a son named Jaime and other older named Jerry.

Days before she graduated from law school, a girl that she was dating proposed to her, it caused Dom to leave and change careers to become an FBI agent.

Dom’s characterization

Dom is introduced as a friendly FBI agent who is assigned the 5/9 case. But outside her work, she is shown to be extremely lonely as she suffers from social anxiety. She is even shown to be very smart and assertive as like Elliot, she also looks at the worst in people, (more on that later). During her meeting with Whiterose (disguised as Minister Zhang), she mentions how much she is “disgusted and fascinated” with the selfish brutality of the world. She is even shown to have clear survival and markmanship skills twice when she ends up in a midst of two Dark Army shootouts and shoots the attackers before they kill themselves. Dom later believes that the Dark Army might be behind all of this, but her boss Santiago, who is the Dark Army mole, constantly stonewalls her investigation and gives excuses to not let her continue. She then crosses paths with Darlene after Cisco is killed. She brings her in and tries to connect with her to get some information and believes Darlene is special. She then shows her the FBI wall which then complies Darlene to become an informant.

Dom continues to investigate the case where she digs into more about the Dark Army with Darlene as her mole. She continues her search for Tyrell Wellick and the Dark Army. When the 71 buildings attack happen and Trenton and Mobley are framed for the attack, her investigation gets shut down. 3 weeks later, she meets Darlene for a night out and then invites her back to her apartment, where they both start to make out (the birth of Domlene). Little did she know that Darlene was doing that just to get her badge to get the credentials, but Dom catches her and arrests her, which then causes Santiago to kidnap both of them.

A Fall from Grace

tw: blood

When Dom gets brought to an isolated barn along with Darlene and Elliot, she is taken outside by Irving where it’s first thought that he will axe her to death, but instead he axes Santiago instead. Irving informs her that she is the new mole to the Dark Army and threatens to have her family killed all the while axing Santiago’s body, which easily breaks Dom into a mess, causing her to comply. Despite all of this being the Dark Army’s fault, Dom blames Darlene for putting her in this position.

2 months later, we see Dom as a now weak willed, always paranoid and a fearful shell of her former self. She then meets her new handler Janice who threatens to kill her family in a graphic manner if she doesn’t follow orders. The Dom that we knew in the past 2 seasons is now gone. She spends almost the entire 4th season as nothing but a doormat for them. She even has a nightmare where she is drowned by a woman, just like what she told Angela back in Season 2.

Then she is asked to track down Darlene and told to kill her, which she is unable to do and causes her to cry again. When Darlene wakes up, she reminds her of that night and tells her that she genuinely loved it.

Then she tells Darlene to kill her instead as she has been feeling suicidal for months now and she has no other choice because she feels that her life puts everyone she loves in danger, before Janice enters and ties them up in restraints after Darlene wiped her phone to save herself from having her brains blown off (again!). After a bit of unnecessary black comedy from Janice, she then removes her tools to make it look like she will torture Darlene but instead stabs Dom in the chest, and then for no reason leaves her like this for a while. Janice then threatens to kill her family again and Dom cries and begs until Darlene gives in to give up Elliot’s location. When they are unable to find him, Janice decides to have Dom’s family executed which then leads to…

“Get a hold of yourself, dude.”

We see that Dom finally got a hold of herself when she made a deal with the Lucky Irish B****d she interrogated earlier. He had the Dark Army soldiers killed and freed her family, and while Janice is distracted by the call, Dom removes the knife from her lung to slash one of the guys, take away his gun and shoot Janice and the thugs dead. She then frees herself and Darlene and tells him to find Elliot and take down the Deus Group.

Trying to find peace

Episode 10 sees her trying to run away from the Dark Army with Darlene. She still has a lot of reservations about the world until Darlene convinces her. She then tells Darlene that she can’t go and she doesn’t need her to go with her or anyone for that matter. And Darlene tells her that she holds onto a lot of things which is her flaw. When they leave each other, both of them immediately change their mind and cross paths. Darlene gets a panic attack and decides to take care of herself and Dom decides to let go and leave for Budapest.

Becoming Elliot’s shadow archetype.

While we applaud Dom for how she took down Janice, we can’t help but deny the fact that throughout the 4th season, she became Elliot’s shadow archetype. Elliot had dealt with so much physical, mental and emotional trauma throughout his whole life, even more so than Dom did. But notice in “shutdown-r” how Elliot and Dom deal with being held hostage by the Dark Army. Elliot was calm and collected and tried to look for a solution to get out of the situation, while Dom was shaking and quivering out of fear. Irving’s axing of Santiago left Dom a broken mess while Elliot showed that he was not gonna take anymore crap from them anymore. This is explored more into Season 4 when their lives were threatened by the Dark Army.  Elliot is hardened and cold by the death of Angela and was more than determined to rain down doom upon Whiterose and the Dark Army while Dom was reduced to just being a fearful servant for them. Their gender roles are also flipped as Elliot takes on the role of a vengeful femme fatale who takes down mostly men, which we usually see in feminist revenge movies like Lady Snowblood, Promising Young Woman, Kill/Bill, MFA etc. He is basically the male version of the angry woman trope. It shows that despite all the pain and trauma he’s been through, Elliot is equipped to handle the Dark Army more so than Dom.

Admita: uma das primeiras coisas que passou pela sua cabeça ao começar a escrever foram os atores que interpretariam um filme da sua história, ou uma série do Netflix. 

Sem precisar esperar a fama repentina ou a ligação de um agente, muitos escritores criam o próprio elenco, o que significa dar um rosto (muitas vezes famoso) aos personagens. Se você lê histórias em plataformas digitais como o Wattpad, provavelmente já viu uma relação entre um personagem e uma celebridade selecionada pelo autor. 

Mas será vale a pena criar um elenco para sua história? Confira abaixo:

Muito presente em histórias sobrenaturais, sonhos dentro do contexto literário na maioria das vezes é uma premonição. Pode ser para ter contato com uma vida passada, descobrir algum segredo oculto ou simplesmente saber o que acontecerá na vida do personagem. Também pode ser uma forma de comunicação mística, como acontece em Crescendo, segundo livro da saga Hush Hush, onde o personagem principal, Patch, se comunica com Nora através de seus sonhos — uma maneira de não serem descobertos pelos Arcanjos.

Há pessoas que não gostam da ideia de sonhos por ser algo ambíguo, que proporciona várias deduções. Porém, assim como outro segredo qualquer, você só captará a essência do que se passa no enredo prestando bastante atenção nos detalhes, de outra forma, não entenderá apenas o sonho, como qualquer outro mistério que ronde a obra.

Descrever um sonho na maioria das vezes envolve um jogo de percepções gigantesco. Você basicamente brinca com sensações. Sonhos costumam ter assuntos específicos; apesar de uma pessoa conseguir sonhar de três a quatro vezes por noite, na maioria das vezes, só se lembra de um ou dois assuntos. Leve isso em conta na construção do seu. Se o personagem acordar imediatamente depois de sonhar, é provável que se lembre quase 100% do sonho, mas, guardá-lo e voltar a dormir no “breu” logo em seguida, as chances de se lembrar ao acordar diminuem bastante.

Não use o sonho apenas para mostrar coisas que o personagem nunca irá descobrir acordado, e, até para isso, seja coerente. As informações não brotarão do nada na cabeça da pessoa — ao menos que ela tenha algum poder de prever o futuro. De alguma forma seu personagem já deve ter conhecimento do fato, como uma amnésia repentina ou até um acontecimento da vida passada. Ele também pode juntar informações, e, sem perceber, dentro de um sonho as peças se encaixam de forma inevitável e a imagem é formada. Se for algo totalmente avulso, use alguém como mediador. Histórias sobrenaturais permitem isso, de haver personagens com poderes de entrar no sonho dos outros e etc.

Pesadelo pode mostrar a fraqueza de alguém, pode revelar sentimentos enterrados na pessoa que a todo custo tentou manter na parte inconsciente da mente. Traumas e dúvidas sempre estão presentes no contexto, e o pesadelo pode ser uma forma sutil de fazer um flashback no passado do personagem.

Para finalizar, há um motivo para grande parte das histórias não ter sonhos: eles podem dizer tudo, como também podem dizer nada. Em nosso cotidiano, não é algo normal acordarmos e usarmos o que sonhamos para nos basear do que irá acontecer na vida. Se a coisa for muito coincidente, no máximo ficamos matutando o sonho na cabeça, mas depois descobrimos que não é nada. Como também, é muito comum sonharmos com coisas que queríamos que acontecesse em nossa vida. Tenha cuidado ao pôr um sonho ou um pesadelo na história, isso para encheção de linguiça é um estalo, e o mais importe, use-o com moderação!

The "Magical disabled person" or as it's often called in disability circles, the "Super-Crip" is the name of a trope in which a disabled character has some kind of magic or special abilities, which is used to mitigate or erase the impact of their disability. While not a mandatory part of the trope, many super-crip characters are also stronger than their peers, specifically because of their disability's impact on their powers. So why is this trope so unpopular among many disabled people? There's a few reasons. The main one is because more often than not, Super-crips who are written by non-disabled people are often treated as an easy way out of actually having to deal with a character's disability, and a shortcut out of having to do the research into how a disabled character would deal with certain situations. When these writers encounter something they think their disabled character can't do, instead of actually talking to people with the same disability as their character and doing research, they just write that its not a problem because "magic powers go!"

In some cases, but not all, their powers all but erase their disability completely, at least from the perspective of it's relevance to the story. While, to my knowledge, this was never in the comics or movies, A good example of this is a "fan-theory" I've seen among non-disabled X-men fans who claim professor X could use his telepathy to walk, functionally bypassing his spinal injury (Or his leg injury, if we're going off some of the comics' timelines). This would functionally erase his disability, making it an example of both the super-crip trope and the miracle-cure trope.

Another reason this trope is disliked is because writer's often have good intentions when using this trope, but they actually end up undermining the points they were trying to make. Often, super-crips are portrayed as badasses in an attempt to show that "you can still be a hero/useful to the plot and be disabled", but the way they portray it usually implies that disabled people, as they exist in real life, aren't useful unless they have something that compensates for their disability or have impossible powers.

So should super-crips be avoided entirely? Some folks in the community think so, but personally, I don't agree. Despite all of what I've said so far, I think there are ways to write characters who technically fit the definition of a super-crip, without it being harmful. There's an argument to be made that "super-crip" specifically refers to harmful version of the trope, so not everyone will consider characters who aren't part of it, but I do, and I think it's important to discuss both the harm this trope can bring, and how this trope can be used in non-harmful ways. Humans (and creatures with human-level intelligence) are adaptable creatures, and in a world where magic exists and especially in worlds where its common, disabled people will find ways to use it to help themselves. but help is the key word there. So let's talk about some ways you can write super-crips, without it crossing the line into becoming harmful. The following are some things for you to consider about your character's disability, how their magic/powers interacts with it, how they interact with the world (and vice versa) and more:
