found our way back to each other 🤍

what Dex looked like from Matt's perspective

I’ve been thinking about it again and people on twt mentioning how built wilson bethel is and that his body looks like one of a swimmer made me think that well yes WHAT IF dex became a swimmer in a way that its a “clean” sport. swimming makes him relaxed/helps him clear his mind which if we’d be to keep his - in this reality - intrusive thoughts about murder and his stalking swimming could be a good metaphor for “cleansing” himself. it would also be a nice route for him to follow if he maybe wanted to pursue “being normal” this way distancing from the harmful talent of his

+ bonus points as this version would replace his usual smell of cleansing (?) bleach to the smell of the pool bleach does it make sense idk how to distinguish them matt would sense it

thinking about dexmatt olympics au and i dont know what sports would fit them the best..

obvious choices for dex would baseball/softball/archery but i think that biathlon would suit him better because he would soon realise that those sports are too boring for him whereas biathlon is more competitive and competitive skiing in combination with fast-paced shooting is more of a “fun” choice. OR he could be in athletics! in original lore he got tired of a singular discipline really fast, so maybe keeping it as versatile as possible is a good option for him - javelin, different types of running, jumping etc etc. (javelin and other throwing disciplines keep his “bullseye” shtick)

matt is a harder one to choose for because it’s kinds hard to determine what kind of sport in paralympics would realistically be a good choice AND fit him. there’s such discipline as blind football and it could work! however idk if its the best fit and maybeee going less real-world reliant is an option and he could participate in para archery or para shooting which I think would be a better fit for him (keep his supersonic hearing or something?). however martial arts work too (and i think it’s the best fit!) and it would be the best lore-wise option as well because maybe his dad got him into this discipline by training him some boxing, then stick could be a grumpy coach that helped him after dad’s death

fun fact - there has actually been a blind martial arts winner in para judo! her name is Theodora Paschalidou and she won 1st place in 2020 so, yeah, maybe matt can be a martial arts athlete! however there are not that many disciplines to choose from - judo and taekwondo. judo is more self-defence reliant and is grappling based, whilst taekwondo is more aggressive and relies on kicks to win. SO maybe matt could’ve started off with judo early in his career and then switched to taekwondo? is that a thing? by mastering more than one martial art he could also stay a martial arts master that he is originally

if anyone has any other suggestions I’m all ears😋😋

there’s no fucking way that i find out that the guy who plays barista-boyfriend-monster (whatever) in netflix’s wednesday is the same person who plays the muse in ddba through rewatching amanda the jedi’s wednesday review like… ok?? i was jumpscared by his dandelion curls
