17 reasons why we love Douxie
Right, who knew I’d ever turn into a full-time Douxie blog? I didn’t know I loved him so much. It came very naturally. He’s the personality I’d want to marry, if I’m honest. There’s nothing boring or off-turning about him. He’s charming, caring, quick on his feet, and imaginative. Judging from fandom content, I’m not the only one who loves our bean. So here’s a few reasons why Douxie is so great! ♥
................................................................................................................
1. He has a vision.
He has big goals and a clear intent of where he wants to go in life. It speaks of determination and a broad, open mind. That’s super attractive.
2. He is hard-working and committed to bettering himself.
He disciplines himself and is serious about his eagerness to learn. “And what sort of life would that be?” Those words really stuck with him.
3. He is humble.
He doesn’t think himself above correction. He listens to wisdom and applies it.
4. He’s a natural charmer.
He’s smooth and juuust a tiny bit of a show-off.
5. He’s confident about his capabilities.
He trusts in himself and does not overestimate himself when it counts. What he lacks in skill, he knows he will be able to make up for in spontaneity (and luck).
6. He doesn’t shy away from danger.
He is brave and loyal to his cause and to the people who are important to him. He will stand up for his loved ones and defend them. He’s stubborn like that.
7. He learns on the go.
He is not a book smart, but learns things fast by putting them into practice. He is a quick thinker who knows to use his surroundings to his advantage, which makes him a flexible, versatile fighter.
8. He’s a pure, innocent soul.
He doesn’t have any nasty thoughts or gross habits. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and he has sentiment for what he loves. He couldn’t harm a bug. You guys, that was all just in the first episode.
9. He is polite, diplomatic, and stays collected in precarious situations.
He doesn’t blindly take charge, but instead listens, observes, mediates and delegates.
10. He is kind and considerate of others. And he cares so, so much.
He is gentle, sensible and sensitive. He is an empath who identifies a lot with other people’s emotions. He can understand their problems easily and reacts with great care. He is comforting, helpful, optimistic, encouraging and hopeful. He is not dismissive, raging, or loud, but a great listener who cares a lot.
11. He loves unconditionally.
He doesn’t repay evil with more evil, or is unkind to others just because his own day isn’t going great. Instead, he always pays kindness forward, so much that others are impressed by it.
12. He is generous.
He goes out of his way to do nice things he doesn’t have to. Heck, he’d never tell Steve to his face how annoying he finds him, but is totally supportive of his Knight career instead. Douxie makes friends easily and everywhere he goes. This also makes him a great teacher who it’s fun to learn with.
13. Although spontaneous, he is well-prepared for unexpected turns of events.
He is not gullible, naive or foolish, but makes plans whenever possible and has his bracelet equipped with all necessary functions that come in handy in close combat. He isn’t afraid to take matters in his own hands and present a good idea.
14. He loves what he does and is actually amazing at it. He loves life.
The freedom we see him gain when he learns to unashamedly be himself is absolutely beautiful to watch.
15. He is honest about facing facts, but he doesn’t give up on people.
He won’t lie to people about inconvenient truths, but he is also passionate about helping them. Any people for that matter. Be it family, or strangers, or friends. He’d go to any length to assist them, and that’s something he promises. In fact, it’s something he says over and over: “Trust me.” And trust he earns.
16. He is shattered by the unfairness and grief in the world.
He lets those things touch him. He’s not emotionally distant, but lets these things affect him as raw and deeply as they come. He works through them, and gathers strength through his close relationships. That’s super healthy. He’s conscious of his flaws and weaknesses, and in tune with the knowledge that processing loss takes time. He’s okay with crying, and sitting with the weight of the hurt. That’s not a thing many men are able do, if you ask me.
17. He’s at peace with himself.
He’s ready to die for his friends. And he’s completely okay with that. He may be afraid in the moment, but he stands bold and tall and doesn’t fear what’s to come.
He’s amazing. ♥
