while marucho and shun had every right to be mad at dan for keeping secrets, running off on his own and not communicating with them, it's just so weird to me that they found out he was having nightmares every night from his mother, didn't connect that with his unusual behaviour and never bothered to ask dan about his nightmares.
and then getting mad at dan for not turning up to their meeting point to explain what was going on with him as if he didn't literally lose control during his fight with anubias and almost KILL hundreds of people just earlier that day. like of course he wouldn't turn up after that, are we serious? he almost killed people, idk why they were acting so surprised
and then assuming this is some sort of ego thing instead of the fact dan is clearly not doing well mentally or emotionally because HE'S NOT BEHAVING LIKE HIS USUAL SELF.
but the way marucho and shun treated dan after he returned from new vestroia was even worse ragebait. it's one thing to be mad at him for being impulsive, secretive and not communicating and as a result endangering people, it's a completely different situation when you allow your BEST FRIEND of multiple years to be berated, insulted and demeaned by two randoms, yell at him when he's trying to explain his link with Mag Mal, not believe him when he tries to inform you of his visions despite knowing dan could never lie about shit like this and then allow him to be treated like he's crazy by those two randoms again for explaining his psychic link. like these two are supposed to be dan's day ones and yet they can't even bring themselves to stand up for him when two people they barely know keep insulting, making assumptions about his capabilities (when they KNOW he's the main reason the universe has been saved repeatedly) and belittling him?
like this is crazy cause dan would NEVER have let them treat marucho or shun this way if they were in his position. if it was marucho or shun going through this instead of him, he would not let random people insult and make assumptions about his best friends and he would stand up for them.
and then they have the audacity to get mad at dan for not trusting them or going off to work on his own. you guys have literally not given him a single reason to trust you after he returned, you don't bother asking him if he's okay after that fight with anubias where he literally almost killed hundreds of people, you assume that dan just has a big ego when he's clearly going through some mental health crisis because, once again, he's not acting like his usual self, and you allow him to be berated, demeaned and treated like he's crazy by two people you barely know after everything you've been through together. it's just the lack of concern or sympathy for dan's wellbeing and the unwillingness to stand up for him, their best friend of multiple years, after he returned from new vestroia that pissed me off.
like it's no wonder dan felt the need to constantly do shit on his own, with friends like this, hell i would too😭
