Tag: Nursey

If you don’t mind, where in canon did Nursey call out Dex for calling someone a pussy? I’m asking because this is the first I’ve heard of it, that’s even worse than his already dickish behavior.

dameferre:

of course i don’t mind, i think it’s something we should all be aware of, so this would be the event in question, from here:

which is a bit of a jumble and some of the text is obscured because ngozi’s a straight up genius at setting up a good panel rife w tension

but! it can be decoded/inferred to read as this (everything in brackets is not actually in the argument but is the logical completion of the phrases)

N: BRO YOU’RE [N]OT EVEN LISTENING TO ME OUT THERE

D, (simultaneously): [THE] LAST ONE WENT IN BECAUSE YOU (unclear)

D: YEAH BECAUSE I’M TRYING TO FOL[LOW] DIRECTIONS

N: (unclear) STOP [CALLING EVERYONE] FUCKING PUSSYS

D: ARE YOU ON THEIR FUCKING TEAM SERIOUSLY!

N: (unclear) ‘CAUSE IT’S MISOG[YNISTIC AND] OFFENSIVE

D: I DON’T KNOW WHERE [YOU LEARNED TO] TALK TRASH [BUT]

N: (unclear) SUCH A FUCKING [H]OMO[PHOBIC PIECE OF] SHIT

so yeah everyone who wants to come into my house and preach me some shit about pure, misunderstood good-guy dex who is the innocent victim of unfounded assumptions and has never internalised any toxic shit while nursey is irrational and invasive or whatever the fuck can honestly choke cause our boy came to samwell a misogynist and that’s the fucking tea

So we all looked at this image and were like “Oh wow okay that there is Gay Crisis. Observe–Will Poindexter is completely losing his shit because he has a huge secret crush on Derek Nurse, and he’s pretty damn sure his secret won’t survive actually rooming with Nursey.”

And yes, absolutely, that is what I see when I look at this picture. It’s likely also what Lardo sees, and probably Bitty, too. Maybe Chowder as well, although that’s a more difficult call–he might be too close to both Dex and Nursey to see it.

But it is definitely not what Derek Nurse sees.

Derek Nurse just sees one of his best friends having a breakdown (a semi-public breakdown, at that–and not even semi-public in front of strangers, but semi-public in front of a bunch of their friends and teammates) because the two of them are going to be rooming together next year.

I mean. Not to put too fine a point on it, but if one of my best friends had had a breakdown about rooming with me when I was in college, I’d have been devastated. Absolutely devastated. And maybe I’m sensitive, but who’s to say Nursey isn’t? We all know the chill is fake, after all. Maybe (maybe) he doesn’t head off to his dorm room to cry once he realizes exactly how Dex is reacting, but you gotta believe he’s at least having a conversation with Chowder that includes something along the lines of “I really thought we’d been doing better this year, you know? Like, I thought we were actually friends now.”

Anyway. I had a point in here somewhere. Oh, right, it’s this: I can’t look at this panel and not feel horribly bad for Nursey. I just can’t. And…I still think we might actually get canon NurseyDex out of this (and I fully believe we’re getting canon not-straight Dex at the very least), but…at this point I kinda don’t want to see it until and unless we see Dex making a metric fuckton of apologies. Please excuse my language.
