happy tuesday are we alive are we anguished are we experiencing a grief we think is too large yet, contradictingly, too small to discuss in simple conversation is spring treating you well are we making plans for the future or just the weekend
LET. ME. TALK. ABOUT. THIS.
“I think it’s suppose to be my romantic interest, but I’m too threatened by that concept so it never takes shape.”
First off, the possibility of Dewey being biromantic is STRONG as the romantic interest itself has a mix of a feminine and masculine voice all mixed into one, and this makes my bisexual heart cry, love that.
Second off, Dewey explicitly stating he’s “threatened” by the concept of a romantic interest highlights the fact he’s legit a 10 year old kid, so love and romance isn’t something that’s entered his brain that often and he hasn’t given it much thought. Which makes complete sense, most young boys don’t look into the concept of love.
Third off, going back to the mixed voice of the romantic interest, this can hint at the idea of Dewey himself not even knowing what he likes yet. Dewey clearly hasn’t given love much thought. He knows that it exists. He makes fun of it (along with Huey and Louie) when it comes to the relationship Scrooge has with Goldie. But when it comes to himself having an interest in another person, he doesn’t know what to think because he’s still growing up and doesn’t quite understand it yet. This hints that Dewey is still figuring that part of himself out, so the concept of a romantic interest “threatens” him because he doesn’t understand the concept. And this is realistic and totally understandable. He’s a kid. Kids don’t know these things. They’re learning.
He has plenty of time to figure out this part of him. He has time to figure out if he has interest in anyone. He has time to figure out if he doesn’t have any interest in anyone. He has time to figure out what kind of attraction he has. He has time.
It’s incredible this idea is being hinted at. I’ve always been a fan of the bisexual and ace Dewey headcanons, and this scene really hints at it hard, and as a bisexual myself, who struggled with this concept as well, I absolutely love it.
I love everything about Dewey’s character and this just adds to my love for him.
the most painful social interactions are when you miscalculate someone’s meme literacy and reference something and the person/group doesn’t get it and u have to half-heartedly explain it knowing FULL well it’s 0% funny if people don’t have the full convoluted context of the joke and u feel the flames of hell start to lick at ur feet as they all give u a pity laugh

who you are in high school is not who you will be in college and who you are in college is not who you will be when you are 30.
when you accept that you are malleable and ever-changing, you will be less resistant to new ways of thinking and being and you will grow into the beautiful person you are meant to become.
resist the urge to remain stagnant. there are always things to learn about the world and yourself. let yourself learn them.
