Nurseydex fanfic tropes that should totally be canon, or that so many people use that it’s gotten to the point where I dont even know whether or not they’re already canon:
- Derek “Unchill” Nurse’s chill being a total facade/defense mechanism from trying to hide his depression and/or trying to not fit into the “angry black man” stereotype
- 50% of Nursey’s poetry being about Dex’s freckles
- Dex having a million and one siblings
- Dex & Bitty being this extremely unlikely duo, venting to each other & relaxing while baking + Bitty being the first person Dex feels comfortable enough to come out to
- Chowder knowing fully well Dex & Nursey are into each other long before either of them realizes
- Dex’s freak out after the Dib Flip being brought on by a mental breakdown of “fuck fuck how am I gonna be able to repress/hide my feelings if Derek ‘hot as fuck’ Nurse is literally around 24/7 fuck” or something of the sort
- Nursey knowing way too many languages (Arabic, French, Spanish, who knows what else)
- Also, them calling each other “habibi” because my fucking heart
- Adversely, literally the entire SMH + Lardo knowing Dex & Nursey are into each other and being completely unsurprised when they tell everyone they’re dating, while Chowder, being 110% oblivious, freaking the hell out about his best friends dating
- Everyone thinking Dex’s homophobic and him finally just exploding and telling them off cause he’s actually hella gay/queer & just trying to deal with his internalized homophobia and/or closetedness
- Service bottom/subby!Nursey
- Nursey having two moms who are actually very loving, just always busy with their jobs + an older sister who takes none of his shit but will always there when he wants to vent about how hot and insufferable 1 (one) Redhead Lobster Boy is
- Dex’s first and only time dropping his gloves being because someone shouted something racist or homphobic at Nurse and he just goes full Hulk Rage Mode
- Nursey calling Dex a number of nicknames derived from his last name, including, but not limited to my personal faves, P-doodle & Pointdickster
- Nursey accidentally coming out or confessing his feelings or coming onto Dex while he’s on Nursey Patrol, & if it’s sexual, Dex being extremely adamant about not doing anything because he’s too drunk to consent
- Nursey sharing Bits’s insane obsession with Beyonce and Holster’s with Britney Spears & blasting the hell out of pop music to reach Peak Annoyingness when Dex is trying to study
- Dex’s family being Irish & huge & very close-knit & always having family reunions/barbecues
- Dex’s uncle on whose lobster boat he works over the summer being his favorite relative & completely ready to fight for & defend Dex as though he were his own son
- Nursey competence kink & Dex fixing something in the Haus being literally the hottest turn on ever
- Also, Dex finding Nursey talking literature & being an intellectual & coming up with beautiful poetry on the spot to be the hottest turn on ever
- Nursey being Mega Jealous whenever someone hits on Dex or asks him out or comes onto him at a Kegster, and being petty as hell about it instead of just telling Dex his feelings
- When something serious goes down or they’re extremely emotional (angstttt), them calling each other by their first names to get the other’s attention
- Nursey hearing Dex’s mom call him Billy literally once and never letting him live it down
