Dani’s fear
🕑 Added 2025-09-01 13:08:10 +0000 UTCI want to go more into depth about how Dani feels. Dani is a little more complicated because even tho he grew up in a loving family, he had social expectations and big emotions that no one ever showed him how to handle. So he took them out in the person that made him the most uncomfortable (for reasons we all know).
Robin never responded back, until that day. “You’re an awful person” that’s what hit him. He feels so bad about who he was and what he did, and it’s scared to fall into some patterns with Robin, so he basically tries and be this perfect person, so he doesn’t hurt him again.
But as much as Robin loves this, that’s not really what he wants, he wants to know this new Dani.

Hi! No he doesn’t. I feel like I’m not qualified to portray bipolar as I don’t really know how it is to have it. For Dani, as a kid he didn’t knew how to express what he was feeling, even more because it made him feel alienated (as he didn’t feel comfortable of being a girl) and then liking “another girl” (Robin). He didn’t felt like he could share this with anyone, and took it out in a bad way. He had to learn that his feelings and desires are not bad, but he has a tendency of hiding his feelings, he’s better at it in the present day, but is still something he is learning to do

hi alex! may i ask if Dani has bipolar disorder or its tendencies? was just wondering because this and that time you said Dani had to learn to express his emotions so he wouldn’t hurt others with his actions or himself reminded me of what my psychiatrist said!

I love this kind of questions. I think Dani wants to show Robin that he has changed, but doesn’t know how much he can show yet. This is Robin getting to know him a second time, his real self. So there is some kind of fear to show anything that could be seen as “bad”. But that’s something I want to touch more, their communication with each other, how they little by little, they start feeling more comfortable with all their feelings, more when they’re together.

I was wondering... When it comes to conversations that triggers this memories of his, Dani isn't honest with Robin about his feelings. Is it because of the trauma or because he's trying to pretend these things don't hurt him anymore (when they obviously do)? I mean, is not easy to admit this kinda thing, I know, I just... Idk it feels... Suffocating (to me. Cuz apparently it makes me feel vulnerable, I think...) Hehe Sorry for the drama, I love these two so much cus I can relate, and that's why sometimes it reminds me of my own insecurities and doubts... It's this kind of story that's much more than just a story to me, you know?
