So he’s been living vicariously through his friend and his friend was supposed to know that?
That’s his brother.
Twin brother, as a matter of fact. This becomes important MUCH later down the line.
Hey, LazerWulf, is that info you brought over from the original posting? If they’re twins, they don’t look like identical twins.
Yeah. As a kid, he didn’t dream (Dan) and would soak up all of the stories Alex would tell him.
After a while… they both forgot about it and now Dan is annoyed that Alex is “pretending that it was all real”.
It meant a lot to Dan as a kid. He’d never experienced a dream.
Also. It got him into writing.
I only had to go back one page to pick up the brother thing. [facepalms] Yeah, I’m an idiot. Maybe I need to restart.
I gotta admit, I always felt Dan was kind of a jerk to Alex. Self-entitled, brainier than thou, whiny little brother.
I also may have issues with whiny siblings who think they’re better than me.
Ha ha. I wrote this when the twins were born. Made my best estimate as to what it would be like to have a brother.
Turns out… this is spot on.
And yeah. Dan is annoyed with Alex here. And Alex is too stupid/self absorbed to see why.
Love their character arcs over the series.
Hmm, Tadd, it sounds like you’re an older brother, Scott you’re a younger brother. You each seem to identify with the brothers uniquely.
For what it’s worth, I side with Alex. Dan is acting over the top and totally unsupportive of Alex, even if the point was that Alex was delusional. Self absorbed would imply that Alex should be able to see Dan’s POV. The real problem here is that the dreams WERE REAL. No one ‘knows’ that yet, but Alex certainly ‘feels’ it. Dan is the one self absorbed here. All that matters is his feelings.
“I gotta admit, I always felt Dan was kind of a jerk to Alex. Self-entitled, brainier than thou, whiny little brother.” Tadd
Since you mention “brainier than thou”, I can only surmise you are referring to Dan. However, Dan is actually the older brother, not the younger, which is also a major plot point that comes into play later on. Although you are correct in describing him as whiny, in this particular page.
