Okay this probably just me going insane about Dakota or just being a hater which would suck bc :(((((( I don’t wanna be a hater :(((((( I just like the character too much :((((((( (probably just a pet peeve let’s be honest </3)
Why do people forget what Dakotas rooms throughout Prime Defenders actually look like. It’s so fricking important to me, bc like- I see fics and other things where people describe how Dakotas room looks like and it’s such a small detail but I can’t help but think every time “that’s not how his room looks. That’s not his room.” Bc it’s not!!! His room is not cluttered or full of knickknacks, he doesn’t 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 THEM….) but that’s 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 there’s nothing there, there’s no clutter and it doesn’t feel like he’s in there outside of sleeping. AND I FEEL LIKE THATS REALLY IMPORTANT TO HIS CHARACTER OKAY……. 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 doesn’t 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, “oh. Oh that’s why he’s like that.” FEELING!!!! BC NO WONDER HE DOESNT LIKE CLUTTER AND MESSES AND DOESNT WANT HIS ROOM LIKE THAT D:…..
Idk little details like this are really important to me- and this isn’t guilting people who have described Dakotas room like this!!! But like I said, it’s 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 doesn’t 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 wasn’t around much, and when he was with the pd he was busy saving the city and training in their training room, he didn’t have time nor wanted time to be alone in his room. Anyway that’s it for your weekly “Sketch is feral about Dakota and thinks about him too much.” :D…. Feel free to tell me I’m wrong or yap to me about this <3…..
(This has been collecting dust in my drafts for a while bc I’ve been meaning to check my sources and listen to the eps that they describe Dakotas rooms in but I’ve been feeling oh so lazy…. So if I’m wrong pls tell me :3)
