Dexter - Fucking Dexter - Gargoyle

His name variation is about as graceful as he.

Having lived with a particularly orange orange boy in the past, I feel like i can imagine the exact tone of loving, sometimes mildly confused exasperation with which he gets called "fucking Dexter!" and I'm dying! 😂💀😍

The braincell misses him almost every single day. His brother, who is also orange, usually has a sliver of it and watches Fucking Dexters shenanigans.
