DRDT SPOILERS!
People are still very set on David being Arei’s killer. And to me it seems like a repeat of the first case
David grows attached to someone
That person dies
Everybody think he’s the killer b/c he’s sus
He doesn’t actually turn out to be the killer
I really doubt that he’s Arei’s killer. He is definitely suspicious and he is hiding something, but he’s not the blackened.

Good morning (or whatever part of the day it happens to be where you are) and a very fine Blorbo Blursday to you! I have an OC question shamelessly pilfered from @writeblrsummerfest: tell me all about your favourite hot mess of a character! What do they struggle most with in their daily life? Why are they like this?
Define Hot Mess
CW: Depression, Low Self-Worth, Brief mentions of lewdness
Because all that comes to mind is "sexy, but barely keeping it together" and that is 100% David. David is this guy:
He's a caxy: Half cat, half fox. Specifically half maltese and half arctic fox. He has an eternally tired look because of the combination of his ever-relaxed attitude and the bag-like markings under his eyes (the dark rings around them don't help much) and if he weren't so determined to enjoy life, he'd look MUCH more exhausted than that.
He tries very, very hard to be the happy, fun-loving, playful spirit in any group he's in, but there's a lot that goes on under the hood so to speak.
For starters, he spent the duration of his formative childhood years desperate for the approval of parents who would never give it. There are certain behaviors expected of a Relanian predator species (eye contact, baring teeth, commanding posture) that David just...doesn't have. His parents treated him like less for it, and while they did try to "teach him better", it ultimately taught him nothing more than the belief he was not good enough.
He carries that fear to this day, terrified he's inferior, broken, and simply not good enough for anyone.
His bite scars don't do him any favors either, each one a reminder of people he "wasn't good enough for" in his eyes. Despite this fear of rejection, of failing others, and despite his constant self-doubt, he does his best to stay happy and keep others happy. He's usually pretty capable of masking how he feels by using humor, snark, and a healthy dose of lewd humor (plus the occasional lewd act) all help to keep his mind off his anxieties and the depression clawing at his heart.
It hits full force when he's home though. He lives in an apartment alone (technically he lives with Ryder, his best friend, but only technically. He stays the night there most nights, but sometimes he will stay at his apartment if Ryder is away or can't host him) and when he stays there for a night, he gets...rough.
A typical routine for David, when he's at his apartment is draw until he hates it, stare at the paper until he feels sick of it, take a shower and try to de-stress with one of his toys, fail, lay down, try to de-stress by counting the stars outside the window, fail, try to de-stress by reading, fail, give up on de-stressing, let himself cry, fall asleep from sheer exhaustion.
He is...not as okay as everyone around him thinks he is, and the only people fully aware of just how hurt he is on the inside, just how in-shambles he feels, are his sister Davina and his best friends, Ryder and Trace. He has dozens of friends, hundreds if you include acquaintances, and makes ten or twenty more short-term friends every weekend at the clubs.
But despite how easy it is for him to make friends, making good, true friends is hard for him, and his love life has left him feeling like his best use is as a living stress-relief doll for those around him. He works hard not to show it, but these are his true feelings: he feels like a toy, a puppet to be used however his peers see fit, because at the end of the day he has no idea what to do with himself besides give to them.
Closing Notes
David is a complicated individual, and I hope when the reader makes their way through the main story, The Wolf's Den, that they learn about David slowly, the way a new friend building a relationship may learn about him. He's been through so much, and tries so hard to put on a brave face. He deserves more true friends.
Tag List
Tagging these folks because they seem to like my work, and this time, I'm passing the initial question on to you all! To remind you, the initial question asked to me at the top of this was: Tell me all about your favourite hot mess of a character! What do they struggle most with in their daily life? Why are they like this? For the Tag List, if you would like to be added (or removed), just let me know!

This week's @schittscreekdrabbleblog prompts were "soup" and "orange." This one made me giggle!
---
Patrick was relaxing when he heard a splash. Then, “Fuck!” He raced into the kitchen to see David fishing in the soup with a long-handled spoon.
“David, what’re you doing?”
“Nothing…”
“So, you’re not searching for something?”
“No…”
“David…”
“Fine! I was trying to juggle oranges. Stevie bet me I couldn’t, and I can’t admit she’s right! Then I dropped one, and it landed in the soup!”
Patrick snorted. “Wait until I tell Stevie how well you can juggle!”
“You wouldn’t!”
“No. You’re right. I wouldn’t.” He pulled David to his side, kissing his cheek. “Just fish it out, please.”

Quotes from my unhinged climbing group:
*pointing at a little girl at the window* “it’s climbing Jesus!”
“You’ve just got to channel your inner Shania Twain.”
“The new scooby-doo show is the woke agenda in action”
“Remember to breathe and stuff”
“Idk I think it all went wrong when climbing Jesus disappeared”
“Physically, mentally and spiritually exhausted”
“Where’s David? Did you lose him again?”
“Wobbly sausage, people!”
