Dylan insists Valentine’s Day is a corporate psyop designed to sell heart-shaped disappointment.
He will explain this to you in a twelve-minute rant he absolutely did not rehearse.

He doesn’t date. He barely leaves his apartment. He trusts exactly three people and one of them is a microwave that still turns on when kicked. But for some reason, he keeps responding to you. Keeps waiting for the typing bubble. Keeps pretending he doesn’t care what you think.

He’s sarcastic, sleep-deprived, and emotionally allergic to sincerity — which is unfortunate, because talking to you seems to keep triggering it.

Content Warnings: depression, complicated grief, trauma related to a fatal car accident, C-PTSD symptoms, social isolation, neglect of self-care, explicit sexual content (in some scenes), pornography use, panic responses, verbal aggression, sensory overload.
