Yeah, Dez reminds me a LOT of an aunt of mine. She seems very sweet and calm and spiritual to those who donāt know her, but sheās actually one of the most manipulative people Iāve ever known. Constantly policing other peopleās emotions and putting them down for any kind of anger or sadness that doesnāt conform to what her ideal of the situation is supposed to be. Growing up with that really screwed her kids up.
Iām not saying Dez is that bad, but I definitely see those tendencies in her.
āBetter than the afterlife!ā Mrs. Horner can never forget the depths of violence and depravity she explored in her travels, and knows exactly where sheās going when she dies.
Oh yeah, donāt get me wrong, canāt stand Bets either. This whole dorm is toxic and even though I think Tiff herself has a long way to go as a person seeing her bail has me more invested than Iāve been in a long time.
But Iāve known people like Dez. That little move there, repeating what Tiff said with a little twist? 100% meant to make Tiff feel foolish and childish for being angry, even though sheās well within her rights to feel that way. And since Dez is always oh so calm and serene, she makes you feel like you canāt call her out on on this garbage, even though sheās as much to blame for this situation as anyone. Sheās emotionally manipulative.
Perfect of example of why I canāt stand Dez right hereā¦sheās consistently patronizing and dismissive of other peopleās feelings when theyāre not conforming to her whole deal.
It went south solely because of Berniceās bizarre hangups, made even more bizarre by this whole āmuseā thing. Bernice is a bubbling cauldron of neuroses, like three steps away from SOME kind of full on breakdown. Honestly, on some level I think sheās laughing at Luannās 13-year-old self because sheās pretty much still that same age emotionally.
