Okay this probably just me going insane about Dakota or just being a hater which would suck bc :(((((( I donāt wanna be a hater :(((((( I just like the character too much :((((((( (probably just a pet peeve letās be honest </3)
Why do people forget what Dakotas rooms throughout Prime Defenders actually look like. Itās so fricking important to me, bc like- I see fics and other things where people describe how Dakotas room looks like and itās such a small detail but I canāt help but think every time āthatās not how his room looks. Thatās not his room.ā Bc itās not!!! His room is not cluttered or full of knickknacks, he doesnāt have a bed frame or a ton of items and personality in his room. I would love for him to have a lived in room with gym acquirement and all of the nice things (BC HE DESERVES THEMā¦.) but thatās just not how he is throughout PD.
His room is always from what I remember (aka the three times it has been described: old base, aunt Alaskas apartment, and the new base) described as empty, a Japanese inspired bed, his skateboard, maybe some comics and a poster or two, but other than that thereās nothing there, thereās no clutter and it doesnāt feel like heās in there outside of sleeping. AND I FEEL LIKE THATS REALLY IMPORTANT TO HIS CHARACTER OKAYā¦ā¦. Bc your first thought when seeing or being introduced to him is that he has a lotta personality and is loud and out there! But his room doesnāt show that at all! And on top of that the time when Dakota brings William and Vyncent to Aunt Alaskas apartment really shows the contrast and you get that, āoh. Oh thatās why heās like that.ā FEELING!!!! BC NO WONDER HE DOESNT LIKE CLUTTER AND MESSES AND DOESNT WANT HIS ROOM LIKE THAT D:ā¦..
Idk little details like this are really important to me- and this isnāt guilting people who have described Dakotas room like this!!! But like I said, itās important to me bc it can give so much depth and perspective about how a character lives and how they interact with the world! Like how his room doesnāt feel cozy or lived in really at all, I mean it makes sense! He spent all his time before the fall doing parkour and soccer, he wasnāt around much, and when he was with the pd he was busy saving the city and training in their training room, he didnāt have time nor wanted time to be alone in his room. Anyway thatās it for your weekly āSketch is feral about Dakota and thinks about him too much.ā :Dā¦. Feel free to tell me Iām wrong or yap to me about this <3ā¦..
(This has been collecting dust in my drafts for a while bc Iāve been meaning to check my sources and listen to the eps that they describe Dakotas rooms in but Iāve been feeling oh so lazyā¦. So if Iām wrong pls tell me :3)
