Dexter Defender

The rocks I used to submerge my victims may eventually sink me too. A changed man at peace with himself. Maybe only monsters feel no regret. If erring is human, than remorse must be too. Wait – does that make me human? If I have to give up this place, what will I do about my roommate, my Dark Passenger? This apartment is the only thing that let me keep the mask in place. Without it, I’ll burst. Sleep, what a concept. I can't believe I actually contemplated turning myself in. This is so much better than a prison cell. I can squeeze fresh orange juice, savor a fine French roast, grab a morning workout. Okay, working out I could have done in prison. But still, I'm free. Everyone hides who they are at least some of the time. Sometimes you bury that part of yourself so deeply you have to be reminded it's even there at all. And sometimes you just want to forget who you are altogether... I'm not the monster he wants me to be so I'm neither man nor beast. I'm something new entirely, with my own set of rules. I'm Dexter. Boo. Man has always been drawn to the sea, but it's an unnatural setting for us, a place of great danger. Tides, currents, waves, wind each presenting their own hazards, none of which can be ignored. The slightest lapse of judgment can be a mistake you might never recover from. But a good sailor doesn't fight against these elements. A good sailor works with them, using them to his advantage. While others less fortunate might be forever cast adrift often in several pieces. He always comes home safely.

After years of trying to look normal, I think I met the right woman for me. Deb saved her life on a domestic dispute call, introduced us, and we've been dating for six months now.

Aww, thank you. ^^

I don't mind sharing at all.

I use Photoshop CS6

I made this ancient tutorial years ago. It's a bit dated and the itsphotoshop page is no longer around so I removed all of the links to that blog as much as I could see. But the tutorial should still work just fine.

I chose Rita because she is, in her own way, as damaged as me.

Tagged by @mrs-steve-harrington, ty love! E>

1. I’ll See You Soon (Dexter - Dexter/Debra)

Her nails dig into her forearm, pressing, almost cutting.

2. Ride It Out (Dexter - Dexter/Debra/Lundy)

“Hey, what’d you wanna talk to me about, anyway?”

3. A Package Deal (Dexter - Dexter/Debra/Lundy)

“Deb, wait,” Dexter moves to the door as she tries to make her exit.

4. Happy. Truly Happy. (Stranger Things - Steve/Nancy)

Robin slides the bag of open chips over to Nancy and watches her eat a few of them in silence, still fiddling with the corner of her cardigan and touching the tips of her fingers along her jaw. And finally she folds. She’s had it.

5. Regret (Dexter - Dexter/Harrison)

It’s light out when they get home.

6. Looking into the Sun (Dexter - Dexter/Rita)

He’s checked the living room, the kitchen, even Harrison’s room but, for the life of him, he can’t find the little blue toy their son’s been incapable of going more than half an hour without for the last… three months at least.

7. Sí Se Puede (Dexter - Dexter/Rita, Dexter/Miguel)

“Leaving no trace is my area of expertise.”

8. Let Me Feel Your Love Again (Dexter - Dexter/Rita)

Dexter’s still helping the Mitchell family set the table for what’s likely to be a sham of a Thanksgiving Dinner when he gets the call and has to excuse himself.

9. Compatible (Dexter - Dexter/Harrison)

“Not on your life,” Matthews says as he throws the paper back down and stands up from his seat.

10. An Easy Lie (Stranger Things - Steve/Nancy, Steve/Jonathan)

“Isn’t that right, Steve?”

Lol, this made me realize that I... don't like 90% of my openers. XD Also, wild that 8/10 are Dexter already, let's gooo. E>

No pressure tagging: Anyone that sees this post bc I stg I'm a ghost on this blog.

The real saw trap is reading an incredibly wrong take about your blorbo and seeing that it’s actually very popular

[willgrahamscock]

And I’m not even talking about headcanons or creative writing, but misunderstanding the source material so hard that it’s not even the same character anymore

Lt. Debra Morgan’s name plate

(probably)

[dexdeb4ever]

It’s missing the Lieutenant, but, otherwise, it’s perfect for Deb.

Such a good year for the dexter fandom

[bambicest]

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

DEXTER REWATCH — 3.12 DO YOU TAKE DEXTER MORGAN? All my previous attempts at human connection have ended in, well, death. And now I have a partner for life, how did that happen? Am I drawn to the safety of belonging or being part of something bigger than me? Either way, I'm a married man, soon to be a father. But what do I have to offer a child? Just me. Demented daddy Dexter. Maybe I'm making the biggest mistake of my life, but who's perfect? Certainly not me. Certainly not Harry. Sure, I'm still who I was, who I am. Question is, what do I become? There's so many blanks left to fill in. But right now, at this moment, I'm content. Maybe even happy. I have to admit when all is said and done, life is good.
