Continuing off where I left it
(I said I did do chrs individually so)
Here are things I notice about our favorite strawberry blonde Technopath, Dex Dizznee!!
He👏🏼
Deserves👏🏼
More👏🏼
Page👏🏼
Time👏🏼
Underappreciated genius who deserves eVerYThing and you can go fight me on this
Loner in the cafeteria
A lot of people may see him as an innocent introverted tech guy
But in the first book He LitErAllY MaDe StinA BAlD AnD GroW a BeArd
He’s even sassy to the CoUncIl
ThE FreAkinG RoYalTy Of thE ElVin WoRlD
AnD He SAssES ThEm
Say anything about his mom, his dad, his triplets and his friends you are close to dead to him
I think he’s a lot more pressured ever since he discovered he was a Technopath because it seems like his dad wants Dex to be a message that the Dizznees aren’t all as talentless and rebellious as they’re made out to be when Dex just wants to yknow....live his life, hang out with friends and not be pressured by the chains of society esp that he’s actually a really special Technopath
But he is actually rebellious (ThAnk you KeSlEr)
Says he doesn’t care what anyone says about him
And that might be true to some extent but I think he also does esp when his family and his friends are the ones judging
Has to live for a couple years knowing that one of his siblings are Talentless and can’t do anything about it
A loner
And not just in the sense he feels left out from the Keeper group but he kinda is tho
But also (most noticeably) Technopaths I suppose generally feel lonely speaking a language no one understands and thats just really sad
And to Dex haters: he WAS manipulated into making the ability restrictor and had no idea it was gonna be used on Sophie therefore It👏🏼Was👏🏼Not👏🏼His👏🏼Fault👏🏼
Has feel betrayed more than once
I think a lot of people (esp Black Swan and the Council) expect him to do great things at the age he’s in and he has but he’s definitely pressured because ALL of his friends and everyone expect him to make great things and figure out the technical stuff out to the point where if he doesn’t he just lets them down and they abandon him and becomes even more left out
Might have PTSD from France
Final Note: The last few books have been very eye-opening for his character both for his personality and his role in the Keeper group, in general. I believe everyone involved with Sophie (and ofc Sophie herself) and is known to be involved with her are pressured to be this hero saving the Lost Cities when none of the kids wanted to be in the first place and that in itself is bad so it’s no surprise Dex would feel this way as well
He’s insecure about his ability as a Technopath and that much is obvious, and whether he’s grown to appreciate it or despise it is unclear to me since despite the “happy innocent jokester” vibe he gives off he isn’t exactly a complete open book ever since he felt left out. It doesn’t appear he has any trust issues with anyone but my guess is that he now has a very strained and awkward relationship with his mother
I can tell though he’s going to a more open phase where he starts opening up and at least talking to others, I mean in the first book who would’ve thought he would be Biana’s friend? Or even start talking or teasing Stina? And he’s also learning from his mistakes. Things can be miscalculated, mistakes can be made, although I feel he doesn’t forgive himself, he still learns and adapts and that’s really admirable progress. I only hope I see Dex and not just as the Technopath who needs to figure the technical stuff out but more of Sophie’s best friend, the Regent, but this all could be a stretch lol
There might be disagreements and I’m completely fine with that and you should totally point it out if smth isn’t right I’m still gonna do more chrs tho so stay tuned ig😅😅😅😅
