Welcome back!! I’ve been dying to ask this, how do you think kev would interact with an mc who was really afraid of dogs/dingos? Would he leave them?
This. Is. An. AMAZING ASSTONOMICALLY GOOD ASK!! I’m not very smart, so I have a tendency of not even being able to conjure up things like this 😅, BUT CONSIDER MY INTERST PEAKED!! I think it has something to do with how I grew up with great danes my whole life so I’ve grown used to their size meaning that I’ve seen my fair share of ppl who AREN'T as keen to larger dogs as I am. I think it’s a bit silly to not like big dogs!!!... it’s only fair I mention that I don’t like smaller dogs because, would’nt you know it, I’m scared of them 💀. BUT ALL THAT’S BESIDES THE POINT!!! LETS GO STRAIGHT INTO ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEVEEEEEE!!!!
Firstly, he’d know before he ever officially met you. It gets revealed in dialogue that they’ve been watching you for at least a month, and I highly doubt that you haven’t had at least one interaction/close call with a dog that alerted them to this. Even if he only had a small hunch, they could come up to you in their dawgy form and test out the waters.
Take the rainy porch scene. If you go running into the house with a yelp, then that’s a real dubby downer that he’s gonna have to deal with🥲.
BUT THAT WOULD NOT DISCOURGE THEM IN THE SLIGHTEST!!! You think he’d go through all that work with you just to let your ‘little fear’ get in his way?? Nahhhh. As per this post, we know that his tendency for respecting boundaries is at the bottom of the ocean, BUT there are a shit ton of posts that prove he’s willing to, and WANTS to make you feel better/more comfortable. (I’m deciding to add a list of a few I found at the bottom bottom of this post if you want my reference point!) I get the vibe they care a whole lot for the mental state of the MC, mainly because they like you for the you they stalked for at least a whole month.
What does this mean? KIDNAPPING PLAN CHANGE!!!
Assuming that they found out about this ‘troubling’ information after y’all agreed to go on a date, any sooner and he’d have too much time to re-plan, then I think they might try and drug you and go down the rent a truck route. I don’t think he’d take the chance with the walk-you-like-a-dog route.. Idk how he’d do this, but maybe they could put some kind of poisonous pollen into the roses so if/when you sniff them you go ZZZ. I mean they work out in nature, and even though he may work with animals, I sure Moria could do a super solid for them.
Buuuut that’s only gonna work for so long. When you wake up (assuming he didn’t accidentally poison you into 6ft under lol) I think they’re gonna have to re arrange their place for you. (SPOILER: FYI heres an official sneak peak at said place 🤭.)
It’s important to mention that Kev seems to have no problem with drugging MC to keep them compliant if they're too resistant. I think this could apply here (since you prob won’t want anything to do with him in any of his digoness states), and I could see them using sedatives to speed up any complications… BUT THAT’S BORING FOR ME TO THINK ABOUT!!! I WANT DRAMA!! I WANT FRUSTATED DINGO ELECTRITION KIDNAPPER MOTORCYCLIST!!! SO I’VE COME UP WITH A TIER LIST!!
I’ve come up with 3 tiers dependent on just how fearful you are of dawgs, also known as Kevin's 3 levels of difficulty:
Fear of wild dogs and/or large dogs = Noob tier (yea imma be a bit cringy)
EZ, just don’t be a dingo around MC, done… ok, easier said than done. He's gonna need to break a LOT of habits if they want progress with you. As long as their ears and tail doesn't freak you out while there in their human form, then as long as he can prove they’re as good as other kinds of dogs, y’all can get past the whole ‘dingo form’ thing ‘till a better time.
Fear of all dogs = Expert tier
Ummmmmm, you don’t like him as a dingo OR as a human dingo mix?? Okkkk?? Every time they come into the room to give you something, you ask him to put the ears up. That sucks! But at least he knows that calms you down. If he sits across the room from you and is acting chill, leaving the room to stim if they need be to not freak you out (like they did on the date) ( and NOT saying the stimming is the issue, just not him getting hyper/over excited around you), then I think over time you can be more accepting of him, maybe not dogs, but they’ve proven to be trustable enough to not have to worry about.
Fear of EVERYTHING THAT RESEMBLES A DOG = GOD TIER
Oh good lord they’re gonna struggle HARD with this one, you can’t even stand to look at him when it’s just human Kev with the ears and tail!! The fear is that strong. You’re meaning to tell them that he has to wear his hair up ALL DAY, get a few mins on his bike free, then they have to pack it all back up for you?! Yea nah, I don’t think they’d appreciate that. I think this is the only one where they just disregard your fear and would rather deal with the consequences. Get ready to get over your fear through forced exposure therapy. He’d feel bad for sure, but he’d still have they’re, “It’s for the best… for the both of us” mindset. Think lots of drugs, ropes, and bribing. “Come on MCCCCC, if you look at me I’ll let you go outside for a few minssss, you want to go outside, rightttttt? :3”
P.S. Expect Kev to use your fear(s) against you if you start acting up. SORRY, I DIDN’T MAKE THE RULES!!
Sorry this took me a lil while to write this, just had a whole lotta moments where I re-read a part and was like, "... man... THIS IS ASS!" re-write, rinse and repeat💀. HOPE IT CAME OUT GOOD!! I'm thinking about mayyyyybe adding more??? Idk, I have a lot of thoughts on this because like I mentioned in the VERY beginning, I see a whole lot of other ppl being afraid of bigger dogs, and so this writing is only a part amalgamation of all said past experiences. HOPE Y'ALL LIKE IT!! Check out my master list for more Kev wrtings of mine!
