Dee (metal family)²

Dee is the eldest son of Glam and Vicky and the older brother of Heavy.

Appearance
Dee looks a lot like her father, with her blonde hair (albeit a slightly lighter shade, likely influenced by the lighter shade of her mother's hair), her blue eyes, her rectangular jawline, and her slim silhouette, but she also has her mother's curly hair, freckles, and round nose.

Her hair is medium-length and she wears it in a low ponytail, with a loose strand falling over her face. He usually wears a black T-shirt under an unbuttoned white jacket with the sleeves rolled up, blue-gray pants and black boots. She also wears various accessories, such as black bracelets and bracelets, dark eyeliner, a black choker and two piercings on the helix of each ear. He is almost always seen with a tired or melancholic expression. In addition, he speaks in a nasal and deep voice.

Personality
As in appearance, he looks a lot like his father, with his calm nature, high intelligence, and sadistic tendencies, but he also has his mother's unfriendly attitude and short temper.

In "Protector", we see Dee helping other students cheat on their exams in exchange for money and defending his younger brother, Heavy, from Chipmunk. This shows us how he uses his intellect to make money and benefit himself, and helps establish his role as a loving (even if he doesn't openly admit it) big brother. These traits are further reinforced in the series, where we see him using his skills with technology to remove evidence from the cameras that would have incriminated his mother and add false evidence to incriminate the boys who file charges for illegal videos on said cameras. Dee also has access to the school's security cameras, as shown in the episode "Lif". In this episode it is also hinted that he has a history of blackmailing students and making many deals, although he always keeps his word.

Dee is also a very skilled liar. We see in the episode "Poker" that the only person able to see through his façade is his father after interrogating him, and, during his interrogation, he lies about the reason why he escapes at night (although the reason for his escapades is not confirmed, we know that it is not "just to go to the bathroom" because he is carrying a backpack when he escapes in one of Heavy's Instagram posts). He lies about not seeing My Little Pony, and very easily lies to his father about the rat he has hidden in his room.

Dee also speaks five languages and has been seen multitasking in sketches, as well as being very intuitive with most people's movements. We see him in "Stasik Contra" whenever he crouches before his mother moves her hands while talking, and in the poker episode when he ducks before Victoria spits out his drink. He likes to gather information about people. He knows the schedule, habits, and where Lif lives, and it's also hinted that he's been watching Gopher a bit, as he knew he would stare at the PlayStation displayed in a store window after class.

It has also been pointed out that Dee could be an arsonist. This is supported by numerous official sketches in which he appears setting things on fire, and always smiling during those moments. In one of his Instagram posts, he is also seen smiling while setting something on fire with Heavy. Despite being good at many things, Dee is shown to have a hard time learning to play guitar, while Heavy achieves it almost immediately. This frustrates Dee, and after an argument with her father, she decides to abandon the apprenticeship.

Playlist
On the official Metal Family page on VK, several entries were published about the playlists of the five main characters. These are the songs that were included in the publication with Dee's playlist:

A Down System - Revenga
Omnium Gatherum - Horizon
Mudvayne - Happy?
Disturbed - The Light
Skillet - Comatose (Live from iTunes Sessions)

Dee was named after Dee Snider of Twisted Sister.
As revealed in Dee's Q&A:
He's 16 years old.
He is in tenth grade.
He speaks English, Latin, Spanish and "a little bit of everything".
He refused to answer when asked how much he charged to help his classmates cheat on their schoolwork.
She wears makeup simply because she likes it.
He makes no distinction between the people around him or between people with lower intelligence than himself.
He likes physics and chemistry, but is currently interested in psychology.
He doesn't lock the door "so Heavy doesn't complain."
He likes Nu Metal, Heavy Metal, Alternative Metal, Metalcore and listens to the bands Omnium Gatherum, Black Veil Brides, Ghost and My Chemical Romance.
He stopped trying to learn to play the guitar.
He does not know that his paternal grandfather's name is Gustav.
He claimed that the cigarettes Glam found were not his, but his mother's. (Victoria confirmed this in her own Q&A.)
He doesn't mind exercising because he believes intelligence is much more important.

When asked where he escaped at night, he lied and said that he went to the bathroom and went out the window to avoid going through Heavy's room and waking him up.
He doesn't like VK, TikTok, or Instagram.
He is an atheist.
He does not know where he will study, but that does not worry him.
He has "his methods" to deal with bullying.
He prefers cars to bicycles because they are safer.
It takes her about 10 to 15 minutes to get her hair done to get out.
He described his relationship with his family as "normal."
Unlike Dee Snider, whose real name is Daniel, Dee's full name is simply Dee.
He refuses to allow anyone to dishonor or mock any member of his family. He accuses anyone who asks him if his parents were abusive of projecting his personal problems onto his family.
Dee likes girls who take care of themselves and dress well.
Dee sees Chive as a kind of guy.
Asked if he felt bad about Glam's insult, Dee downplayed it by saying it was one of "typical Glam moments."
Dee has multiple phones, which was confirmed in episode 6 of season 2 when he, Heavy, and Lif left the house.
Dee denies hacking Heavy's Q&A section.
Dee plans to move as soon as she turns 18, as she wants to have more personal space.

She doesn't like to wear her hair down.
He has played Undertale and chosen the Genocidal route.
He sees My Little Pony but pretends he doesn't. (He seems to prefer Rarity, saying that she takes care of herself.)
He prefers Hellsing to Hellsing OVA.
He doesn't drink alcohol because he "doesn't need it."
He watched Naruto and his favorite character is Shikamaru Nara.
When Dee ran out at the end of his Q&A session, it was revealed that an unknown man with glasses was spying on him from the backyard. The same man appears on a poster in " Lif ".
In "Lif", one of Dee's classmates, whom Dee was blackmailing into helping him with Lif, said that Dee was "cute" while making fun of him.
In the second "Imagine Episode" it was revealed that Dee's Hogwarts house is Slytherin and that her patronus would be some kind of little monster.
In his Q&A session, Ches stated that he prefers Dee to Heavy, though he feels sorry for Dee because he thinks he's "too smart to be happy."

His zodiac sign is Virgo, which means that Dee was born on any date between August 23 and September 22.
It is implied that he suffers from some kind of chronic illness, as he appears very sick on Instagram (Alina's drawing) (in Glam's Q&A session, he refrained from answering any questions about it, claiming that it was confidential).
Ches gave him his green jacket first[2] as the jacket was shown to fit him too big, while on Heavy it appeared to be roughly his size, meaning that it was later when Dee gave it to Heavy, as Heavy was seen wearing it very noticeably in both " Morning Beavers " and " Apophenia ".
Dee's classmates seem to think he is intelligent or at least they were seen asking him questions [3].
Dee's history teacher described him as "a quiet, intelligent, and cunning young man" in his book "His Secrets."
Dee appeared in Chess Q&A implying that he had given her the rat to look after, as the photo of the rat appeared on one of the chess posters.
Dees' ringtone is Disturbed - Down With The Sickness, as it appears in Apophenia.

Dee's phone screen showed in her secrets that there were at least eight victims, assuming they are related to the kidnapping mentioned in Apophenia. We can say that the missing children have been kidnapped and there are 8 and counting.
Lif seems to think Dee is smart[4] although it is unclear if he was talking to him at the time, but he was talking about his online character (Dark Prince), who he now knows are the same person in "Lif (episode)".
assuming that Dee had to choose where to drill like Heavy in " Present ", he chose to have them as his father.
As revealed in Glam's Q&A session, when he was in kindergarten, Dee sang a satanic lullaby that Glam had sung to him. Dee was out of tune and Glam was so embarrassed that he switched him to another kindergarten.
Dee, like Heavy and Vicky, doesn't seem to have much interest in Glam's family or past.

Dee (also spelled Dii/Ди by the transliteration from Russian) is one of the most interesting characters in Metal Family because he looks like a storm in a leather jacket walking through the kitchen, but underneath there are several layers: acid humor, impulsiveness, need for attention, insecurity and a family that, although it wants it, works with a rather chaotic energy. I'm going to separate what is clear canon of psychological interpretation, because the series leaves a lot of space to read between the lines.
History and development
Dee is the eldest son of Glam and Victoria, and brother of Heavy.
His family is already peculiar from the ground up:
Glam was raised in an extremely rigid and abusive environment, with demands, perfectionism and emotional control. He grew up learning that mistakes are punished.
Victoria, on the other hand, is intense, impulsive, aggressive, and emotionally explosive.
The result is a house where genuine love exists, but where emotions sometimes enter like a metal band knocking down walls and windows.
Dee grows up in the midst of it.
From a young age he develops a much more rebellious personality than Heavy. While Heavy usually tries to maintain some balance and is calmer, Dee acts like someone who constantly pushes boundaries.
He doesn't seem to be a kid who just wants to cause trouble for the sake of it. Many times it gives the feeling that he is trying:
"How far can I go?"
"What if I do this?"
"Do they still love me?"
This type of behavior appears quite a lot in adolescents who seek validation or emotional security.
During the series he is seen: fighting
,
annoying others
, acting impulsively,
trying to appear tough
, being dramatic,
avoiding showing vulnerability
, but also:
taking care of Heavy
, worrying about people close
to him, feeling hurt easily
, showing guilt
, reacting a lot to emotional attention.
It is a kind of cactus with built-in speakers: it punctures 🌵🎸 on the outside, but on the inside it needs emotional water.

Possible psychological trauma and wounds (interpretation, not canonical diagnosis)
The series does not say, "Dee has X trauma." This is analysis.

1. Fear of not being important
   enough Dee constantly draws attention.
   Not necessarily because he wants to be "the center of the universe," but because he seems to need to confirm,
   "Are you looking at me?"
   When someone feels like they're only getting attention when they do something huge, they can develop more explosive behaviors.
   This can appear as:
   making practical jokes exaggerating
   reactions
   provoking fights acting
   scandalously
   Negative attention is still attention.
2. Difficulty Showing Vulnerability
   Dee rarely seems comfortable saying,
   "I'm sad."
   "I'm scared."
   "It hurt."
   Then transform emotions:
   Sadness → anger
   Insecurity → arrogance
   Fear → aggressiveness
   It is a fairly common armor.

Possible insecurity about oneself
Although it appears confident, sometimes it seems like a confidence made with duct tape and maximum volume.
Many very confident people don't need to prove it constantly.
Dee does seem to be looking for reassurance.
Do you have disorders?
There is no official diagnosis.
It wouldn't be correct to say "Dee has X disorder."
But traits can be analyzed.
Some people interpret it with:
ADHD traits
Because it presents:
impulsivity
difficulty sitting still constant
seeking of stimuli acting
before thinking
intense emotions getting
bored quickly
But this does not mean that you have ADHD.
Possible difficulties in emotional
regulation Seems to have problems with:
stopping impulses managing
frustration expressing
complex
emotions That is not automatically a disorder.
Weaknesses
Impulsivity
Does things before thinking consequences.
Your brain sometimes functions as:
Thought → fell down stairs → immediate action

Pride
It is difficult for them to admit mistakes.
You can hold an argument even when you know you lost.
Avoid being weak
When someone avoids vulnerability, they also avoid asking for help.
May act aggressively
When uncomfortable or hurt, may react by attacking.
Not necessarily physically.
Also:
sarcasm
mockery
provocations Emotional

immaturity He has moments where he seems emotionally smaller than his age.
Strengths
Very protective
Although it annoys Heavy, when it really matters he can get serious.
The typical dynamic is:
"Only I can annoy my brother." ⚡
Social
adaptability Can be easily integrated.
He has high energy and strong presence.
Charisma
Although sometimes he is a chaos with legs, he has a personality that attracts attention.
People usually react to it.
Courage
He doesn't seem to be easily paralyzed.
He can throw himself into difficult situations without much fear.
Sometimes too much without fear.

Energy and emotional
resilience Take emotional hits and keep moving forward.
Not always in a healthy way, but it continues.
Skills
Social skills
: reading environments
, calling attention,
initiating, interaction
,
provoking emotional responses Reaction speed
Their impulsivity can also be used to respond quickly.
Adaptation
You can improvise a lot.
Expressiveness
Although it hides vulnerability, it transmits a lot through:
body
language tone
facial expressions
Relationship with Glam
This relationship is interesting.
Glam grew up with abuse and extreme control.
That's why he tries to be a better father.
But sometimes you can tell that he doesn't always know how to handle complex emotions.
Dee seems to seek:approval
,
recognition
, attention,
And Glam sometimes responds from logic rather than direct emotion.
Not because I don't want to.
Because he didn't learn that naturally.

Relationship with Victoria
Victoria is a force of nature compressed within a human body.
With Dee he shares:
intensity
impulsivity
explosiveness
They are quite similar.
That can generate connection and enormous clashes.
Two thunderstorms trying to use the same room.
Relationship with Heavy
Heavy is almost a human buffer.
Dee annoys him a lot, but she also seems to have real affection for him.
The relationship has that energy of,
"I'm going to push you off the couch."
five minutes later:
"Who made you cry?" 🔥

Her first layer: high energy and huge
presence Dee enters a place and rarely goes unnoticed.
You don't need to make a formal fifteen-page presentation or ring a bell. Their way of moving, speaking and reacting already takes up space. It has an expansive energy.
Tends to:speak confidently
,
sometimes interrupt,
react quickly
, move a lot
,
make spontaneous comments, express emotions visibly
It gives the feeling of a person who is constantly connected to a battery that never stops buzzing ⚡
Even when still, it seems like someone who could get up and do something impulsive at any second.
Use humor and provocation as tools
Dee annoys a lot.
But there's a difference between annoying out of cruelty and annoying because provocation is your social language.
Many times he uses:
sarcasm
jokes jokes ironic
comments exaggerations
mockery
He
does not always do it to hurt.
He often seems to do it to:get attention,
create interaction

, break awkward silences,

have fun, measure reactions
His brain sometimes seems to turn a normal situation into an experiment:
"What if I say this?" 🧪
And then he observes the chaos from a corner.

He has quite marked
impulsivity A very strong characteristic of Dee is that he usually acts before processing.
His internal process sometimes seems:
Idea → emotion → action → consequences arriving on a motorcycle five minutes later 🏍️
That can do it:
spontaneous
funny
unpredictable
problematic
Doesn't seem to analyze too much:
"Is this a good idea?"
Rather:
"This seems entertaining."
It is emotional although it tries to hide it
Here is an important part.
Dee tries to project a tougher or more carefree image.
He doesn't seem comfortable saying,
"I feel bad."
"I'm sad."
"That hurt me."
So he usually disguises emotions.
For example:
If he feels insecure:
He may act arrogant.
If you feel hurt:
You may get angry.
If you feel embarrassed:
You can joke.
If he feels vulnerable:
He can attack verbally.
It's like putting a leather jacket on top of feelings that are still there.

He has quite a strong sense of pride.
He doesn't seem to enjoy admitting:
"Yes, I was wrong."
Even when he probably knows he did something wrong, he can still defend his position.
Not necessarily because I believe I am right.
Sometimes it seems like more:
"I've come too far to turn back now."
His pride acts as a shield.
She seeks attention, but not in a simple way.
Sometimes people interpret characters like Dee with:
"He wants to be the center of the universe."
But it seems more complex.
It gives the impression that he's trying to confirm things:
Are they watching me?
Do I matter?
"Did you notice I'm here?"
And when it doesn't get attention calmly, it may seek it chaotically.
Because even a negative reaction is still a reaction.
He has genuine affection for those he loves.
Although it greatly upsets people close to him, he doesn't give the impression of being emotionally cold.
In fact, when someone important to him is unwell, he can change quite a bit.
Their care does not usually appear as:
"I love you very much, I'm here for you."
Rather, it can be seen as:
stay close
defend someone
worrying silently
act when there are problems
He has a less direct way of showing affection. He is competitive.
Dee seems to enjoy challenges.
He doesn't like feeling inferior.
He doesn't like to lose.
He doesn't like to come across as weak.
He can become stubborn when he feels that someone is questioning his abilities.
He has a certain natural rebelliousness.
It doesn't seem to respond very well to:
strict orders
excessive control
rules without explanation
If you feel that someone is trying to impose authority just for the sake of it, you may react badly.
Their internal response would probably be something like:
"Now I want to do the exact opposite."
It tends to attract attention socially.
You can connect with people relatively easily because you have:
energy
humor
expressiveness
apparent trust
But a deep connection can cost you more.
Because for that, I would have to lower my defenses.
And Dee seems quite careful about that.
In short
Dee feels like a mix

He's competitive,
Dee seems to enjoy challenges.
He doesn't like to feel inferior.
He doesn't like to lose.
He does not like to appear weak.
He can become stubborn when he feels that someone is questioning his abilities.

Their inner response would probably be something like,
"Now I want to do the exact opposite."
Socially, he usually attracts attention
He can connect with people relatively easily because he has:energy
,
humor
, expressiveness
,
apparent confidence But a deep connection can cost him more.
Because for that he would have to lower his defenses.
And Dee seems pretty careful about that.
In a nutshell
, Dee feels like a mix of: high volume,
🎸 impulsiveness
🧨
⚡, pride,
🛡 humor as a defense
🐺, loyalty to those close to them
🎭, hidden vulnerability,
On the outside, it can seem like an explosion, walking with legs. Inside he seems like someone who wants to feel important and loved without having to say it directly.

Relationship with Glam (her father)
This relationship is probably one of the most complex.
Glam is not an indifferent father. He loves his children very much. The problem is that he grew up in an extremely harsh and controlled environment, so some emotional things he learned late.
Dee and Glam also have quite different temperaments.
Glam:
calmer
rational
structured
disciplined observer

Dee:
impulsive
emotional
chaotic
spontaneous
provocative
The dynamic often seems:
Glam: "Think before you act."
Dee: "Too late." ⚡
Dee seems to be looking for his father's attention and approval quite a bit, though he probably would never say it directly.
You may challenge him, argue, annoy him, or do absurd things, but many times that feels less like rejection and more like,
"Look at me."
And Glam usually responds from logic:
"Don't do that."
"That was irresponsible."
When probably Dee also needs an emotional reaction.
It doesn't mean that Glam fails as a father or that Dee doesn't want him. You can see real affection between the two, only they speak different emotional languages.

Relationship with Victoria (his mother)
Here the energy changes completely.
Victoria and Dee share certain characteristics: intensity
, impulsivity
, strong
temperament, a lot of expressiveness
It's almost like watching two lightning bolts arguing about which one makes the most noise ⚡⚡
,
Dee can probably understand Victoria's emotions better because she expresses everything in a very visible way.
But they can also clash a lot.
Because both can react strongly.
With Victoria there may be more emotional comfort than with Glam.
Maybe not necessarily deep, calm conversations, but a sense of,
"She gets me."
Relationship with Heavy (younger brother)
This is probably the most tender relationship hidden behind tons of chaos.
Dee annoys Heavy a lot.
A lot.
But there is a huge difference between annoying and despising.
With Heavy he seems to sometimes take on an odd role between:
older
brother professional
provocateur secret
protector
He can push, tease or tease him.
But if someone outside hurts Heavy, the energy changes quickly.
The invisible rule seems to be:
"I can annoy him. Not you." 🔥
And although he doesn't always say it directly, he seems to care a lot about his brother.

How Dee works socially
In a social setting, it's usually someone who gets attention quickly.
He doesn't seem like the kind of person who quietly walks into a room and sits in a corner waiting for someone to come over.
Rather it looks like someone who walks in and the atmosphere makes a small noise of: updated energy level.
Tends to:initiate conversations
, make jokes
, provoke reactions
, break silences,
move between groups
How others
perceive it:
First impressions would probably be very different depending on the person.
Some would think,
"It's fun."
Others:
"It's too intense."
Others:
"It has the energy of a walking problem." 🚒
Because it may seem: confident,

charismatic
, funny,
rebellious
, but also: irritating
,
impulsive,

invasive, exhausting

Friendships
Dee seems like someone who can make acquaintances easily.
But close friends is another story.
Deep friendships require showing vulnerability.
And that part seems to cost him.
Probably with close friends: I would be protective
, I would joke around a lot, I would
seek to spend time together
, I would constantly
tease, I would avoid overly emotional conversations,

instead of saying,
"I appreciate you so much."
He could show up with food, help you out of trouble, or stay with you without saying anything.
Social
conflicts: Dee probably gets into trouble when he feels: that he is
controlled, that he is humiliated
, that he is ignored
,
that someone crosses boundaries
AND reacts quickly.
He doesn't seem like someone who thinks,
"I'm going to retire peacefully."
Their energy is more like,
"Excellent. Now this is an event." 💥

Face
Dee has a relatively thin and youthful face, typical of a teenager, but with features that make it look quite expressive.
Its features are not extremely soft or very marked. They're in the middle where you can go from looking carefree to having an intense expression in seconds.
Something that stands out a lot is that her face rarely looks completely neutral.
He usually has expressions such as:
half a mocking smile tired
or relaxed look annoyed
gesture mischievous
smile
eyebrows raised with a defiant
air It gives the impression that he is always half a second away from saying something that will complicate the situation.
Eyes
Your eyes are quite important because they help a lot to convey your personality.
They have a rather elongated shape and a very expressive look.
The expression of his eyes changes a lot:
When he is relaxed:
The gaze may look calm or distracted.
When it is provoking:
A kind of playful glow is noticeable.
When he gets angry:
The gaze becomes much more intense.
When he is uncomfortable or surprised:
His expression changes very quickly and he loses a little of that apparent security.
Their eyes often contribute to that image of someone confident and a little defiant.

Hair
Hair is probably one of the most recognizable parts.
It has it:
tousled blonde

somewhat long
with quite a lot of volume
It doesn't look like a carefully groomed hairstyle.
Rather, it seems:
"I got up, ran a hand through his hair and negotiated peace with him for three seconds."
She has a messy appearance that works with her personality.
It doesn't feel like extreme carelessness, but someone who doesn't seem to care too much about looking neatly organized.
Physical
build Dee has a slim build.
He doesn't look like someone extremely muscular or big.
It has a lighter and more youthful structure.
He gives the impression of someone:agile
,
fast,
active
His body fits with someone who:moves a lot,
has a lot
of energy
, rarely seems to
stay still, Height
: He is taller than Heavy and has a fairly visible physical presence, although not because of exaggerated size, but because of attitude.
The way it moves makes it seem to take up more space than it actually does.
Clothes and style
Here a lot of her personality appears.
Their style is usually seen:relaxed,

somewhat rebellious
, youthful,
comfortable
, does not convey an elegant or formal image.
He seems like someone who prioritizes:
"Can I move comfortably?"
above:
"Does this match according to a magazine?"
It has an aesthetic that fits with the musical and rock atmosphere of Metal Family.

Body
language This probably defines your appearance more than clothing.
Dee rarely seems stiff.
He can: slouch a little
, lean on things
, sit in strange ways,
move a lot while talking
, invade personal space without realizing
it;
his body language conveys a lot of external confidence.
Even when he's nervous, he tries to maintain that image.
If
someone saw him without knowing him, they might probably think,
"That boy seems funny... or a problem. Maybe both." 🎸⚡
His visual design communicates quite well the mixture of: rebelliousness
, energy
,
apparent confidence, impulsivity
,
relaxed attitude,
He does not have a "cold and mysterious boy" appearance.

What it would be like when he starts to like someone
First of all, he probably wouldn't act serious right away.
He doesn't seem like the kind of person who comes up and says,
"I have feelings for you and I'd like to talk about them in a mature way."
Most likely:
"Why do you appear in my head so much? How annoying."
And then a strange phase begins where he himself seems confused.
Things could appear like:
looking for excuses to be close
starting absurd conversations
annoying the person
more looking without realizing
it acting weird when they get attention back
The fun part is that they probably don't even understand what is happening to them at first.
Your brain:
"Maybe I want to spend time with this person."
Five minutes later:
"No. Impossible. Surely it is a disease."
The Denial Stage
Dee has strong pride.
So I could spend some time pretending that nothing happens.
If friends would say,
"You like it."
I'd probably answer something like,
"What? Of course not. Shut up."
While he gets suspiciously nervous.
And the more obvious it is, the more I could deny it.

How he would show interest
Here he changes a lot because he does not seem very formal emotionally.
I can't imagine Dee giving huge romantic speeches.
Your affection would likely show up in indirect ways: seek to spend time together
, send things that remind you of that person
, share music
, lightly touch the person
, lean close
by, include them in your plans
;
You may also remember details without admitting it.
Example:
Person: "I like this band."
Two weeks later Dee:
"Listen to this."
And I would act as if it had been casual.
Jealousy
You could probably feel jealous.
But he doesn't seem like someone who says,
"I'm jealous."
Rather:
"And who is that guy?"
"Why do you talk to him so much?"
"Since when?"
I'd try to sound relaxed while the internal alarm makes noise like a metal drum drum played by a caffeinated 🥁🐙octopus,
though it depends a lot on your emotional maturity.

Vulnerability in a relationship
This would probably be your hardest part.
Because falling in love implies: trusting
, lowering defenses,

showing insecurities,
admitting fear
And Dee doesn't seem comfortable doing that.
At first you might:joke when a conversation becomes serious,

change the subject
, hide sadness,
pretend it's okay
, Not because you don't care.
Precisely because he cares.

As a couple
As a boyfriend it would probably be enough:
Protective
Not necessarily in an overcontrolling way.
Rather,
"Did they bother you?"
"Are you okay?"
"Do you need anything?"
And if someone hurts their partner, they might get quite upset.
Very physical with affection
Because of how he relates, it seems possible that he uses quite a lot:
sudden hugs resting
his head on the other person
holding hands getting very

close invading personal
space With confidence he could become quite clingy without admitting it.
I would say,
"I'm not leaning on you because I want affection."
While he has not separated for ten minutes.
Fun and spontaneous
Difficult to get bored with him.
He might appear saying,
"Come with me."
"Where?"
"I don't know yet."
Their relationship would probably have:constant jokes,
chaotic

moments, lots of energy
, impromptu adventures

Loyal
Even if he annoys, argues or is proud, he seems to be someone who is very attached to important people.
When someone truly enters your emotional circle, you don't seem to leave it easily.
Weaknesses as a couple
Not everything would be perfect.
He may have trouble with:
communicating emotions
admitting fear
pride
impulsiveness
reacting quickly when he feels hurt
avoiding uncomfortable conversations
If something hurts, he may act distant or irritated before admitting,
"It affected me."
In short, Dee in love would probably be a curious mix:
🎸 constant
⚡ jokes high
🛡 energy emotional defenses strong
🐺 protection
🤍 indirect affection
🧨 pride getting in the way
And the rarest moment would be when he realized that someone became important to him, because then the guy who normally makes noise would probably have a few seconds of mental silence absolute.

Dee probably feels more relaxed with Ches than with Glam
With Glam there is a clear figure of authority.
Even though Glam is affectionate, he's still:
"That's my dad."
With Ches that pressure drops considerably.
Ches doesn't give the impression of someone who is observing:
Are you being responsible?
It seems more like:
"What madness is happening here?"
That allows Dee to lower certain defenses.
It can be more:
spontaneous
joker
exaggerated
relaxed
Without feeling so much like he is being evaluated.
They have a similar sense of humor in some aspects
Dee uses a lot:
sarcasm
provocation
strange humor
impulsive comments
And Ches isn't exactly a solemn museum statue either.
So there could be quite a lot between them:
annoy each other
absurd comments
joking
silly competition
Something like:
Ches: "Your hairstyle lost a fight with a fan."
Dee: "And your clothes lost a fight with dignity."
And they would both continue walking as if nothing had happened ⚡

Chess probably works as an "easier" adult
There is something important.
Sometimes teenagers who argue a lot with their parents get along surprisingly well with other adults.
Not because they love those adults more.
But because with them:
There is less pressure
There are fewer rules
There are lower expectations.
Ches does not bear the burden of educating Dee.
You don't have to say:
"Do your homework."
"Tidy your room."
"Think about your future."
Then you can occupy a more comfortable role.
There may be hidden respect behind the jokes.
Dee seems like someone who rarely says things directly:
"I appreciate you."
So if he respected Chess, he would probably show it in indirect ways:
listening to it
looking for him to talk
spending time with him
genuinely laughing with him
Not necessarily with emotional speeches.
More type:
"Are you coming tomorrow?"
And act as if the question means nothing.

They could also collide
Because both can be somewhat impulsive.
And if Ches bothers him too much or touches on something sensitive, Dee could react quickly.
Dee has strong pride.
So if he feels that someone is really making fun of him or humiliating him, he could say:
irritated
defensive
sarcastic
Although the tension probably wouldn't last too long.
On the whole
The energy between them feels less like:
father and son
And more like:
🎸 Strange older brother
⚡ accidental mentor
🍕 adult who definitely shouldn't be promoting certain ideas
🤝 Someone Dee can relax with
Ches gives the impression of being one of those people with whom Dee could act naturally without worrying too much about how others perceive him. And for someone like Dee, who often seems to be wearing an attitude mask, that's worth a lot.
