DIETRICH VON ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
DIETRICH VON ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
This is paralinguistic's fault.
... so, this is really the SEXUALITY ESSAY that never happened but was supposed to. Why Dietrich von Erective Dysfunction? Well, because paralinguistic is a hooker. That and because it sort of really kind relates to the topic. Dietrich and sex, but really Dietrich and pleasure.
The various translations floating about say things like "has an unhealthy obsession with Esther". He tells her that he loves her, and then does things which people don't do to people they love. Mainly, telling them they can make them feel like they're being raped, setting them up to die horribly or kill their friends, ruining their lives... the list kind of continues. There's also all the scenes where I took his truly happy looking faces from. All of them are from a scene where he's done something rather horrible to Esther. Or just being horrible in general.
I make the assumption that for Dietrich 'pleasure' isn't at all what 'pleasure' is for everyone else. Things don't make him happy or 'tickle his fluffy spot' if you want to say it that way like they do other people. Getting birthday presents doesn't bring him joy. It's interesting because imperial_artist has a fic about killing-family-masturbation-hints or such posted today. I've been planning this essay for a while, but the timing is rather uncanny. He's fucked up. That's a bit of an understatement, but it's also just the best way to describe it.
Sex
Normal sex doesn't do it for him. Sure he can do the whole erection, ejaculation whatever, but it doesn't make him feel good. There's no pleasure it in. I'm sure he has some sort of weird complex with the human body and all of its unnecessary or necessary functions and weaknesses as well. This is where the 'von Erectile Dysfunction' comes in. Not to say that he couldn't get an erection without the sadism. But really to say that nothing gives him a hard on like a little torture.
This is much tied to my playing of another character - the Corinthian - who ate eyes instead of sex. It's talked about in the Sandman Companion, that he's a homosexual nightmare who eats eyes in the place of having sex. Sort of weird wild fetishist thing.
Sexuality
GAY? STRAIGHT? TORTURESEXUAL? The last one, but in terms of 'attraction' it probably falls into the 'bisexual' sort of equivalent. I would think that he's pinged by nice girls with spunk, but as we've seen with Radu it doesn't matter if you have a penis. He prefers people with have strong attachments to other people and have a compassionate nature.
In Camp
Euphie - ahaha. Oh man. She's like his new Esther. He adores her. She's kind and smart and stupid simple and just loving. He adores everything about her... a-and wants to break her into a bajillion pieces.
Radu - whooo boy. Radu is like his new Rad... oh wait. Yeah, Dietrich likes hurting Radu. Part of it is a control thing, since camp is so out of control he exerts more on Radu to compensate. Part of it is also that Dietrich's wires are vulnerable to fire and omg pyrokinetics are BAD. Part of it is that he gets off on likes Radu's totally beaten down face.
Seth/Abel - Not at as pairing XP. He's afraid of Seth, but doesn't think Abel is a threat. Would totally jack off to their corpses.
Noriko - oh ho, now that he's met Izark she's become more appealing. He hasn't yet seen her BACKBONE side, so she's not nearly as sexy as Euphie. But close.
Pell - Ahh, the new Ion. He's just a tool to bother Radu, at the moment. HOWEVER their last encounter left Dietrich with some things to think about.
Virgin?
Dietrich has had sex. N-now I want to be a horrible person and say that Dietrich has only had sex through others. That is, while he was puppet-ing their body.
... yeah. Still thinking on it.
On Growing Up
I want to randomly say that I am going to blame Isaak for this XP. Not really just Isaak, but I'm totally going with upbringing on this one. That he already had the 'potential for evil' but it didn't mean he was dysfunctional in the frame of pleasure. But with the whole family hating on you and dad trying to kill you and Isaak and Cain being your adult figures... yeah. Going with W T F background.
