Dubbles...is a ship that I don't think really exists, lol. I think I've only ever seen, like, ONE piece of art shipping these two. Honestly, between Dextercup and Dexbloss, I can't really say I'm surprised since there's some really good (potential) chemistry there and I think there's a good argument for how these two ships could happen.


Dubbles has...a very uphill battle. For one thing, Dexter already has a super bubbly blonde in his life.


Her name's DeeDee.


And that's honestly why I don't think this ship would work. I honestly just think Dexter would think Bubbles would be too much like his sister. And, in his defense, Bubbles is the most feminine of the girls. I personally think that despite being friendly, they'd have a somewhat rocky relationship at first - even if I think an older Dexter is more mature, he'd probably still be hesitant around her due to his experience with DeeDee. He'd probably get along better with Buttercup (a tomboy and potential rival) and Blossom (a fellow nerd).


BUT, the months I took to think on this, I did think of a hypothetical scenario that might bring these two together - maybe not enough to get this ship off the ground, but probably what could better their relationship.


Picture this: Bubbles is friends with both Dexter and DeeDee, but can see their relationship isn't entirely equal. DeeDee clearly loves her brother and Dexter his sister, but Dexter always seems to keep her at a distance if he can help it. Why, Bubbles can't tell. I mean, siblings fight, but she still loves Buttercup and Blossom and never badmouths them. So why does Dexter seem so frustrated when DeeDee is brought up?


Cue Bubbles watching a typical interaction between the two. It's so chaotic and loony, that, at first, Bubbles is laughing cause it all just looks so fun. DeeDee is sure having fun running around while Dexter chases her. She's about to join in on the game until she sees DeeDee destroy something. Then, Bubbles realizes that Dexter is not having fun as DeeDee wrecks his lab, again, and then just as quickly leaves. She watches Dexter huff and puff, angry. Then, a moment later, he sighs; resignation washes over the boy genius as he solemnly picks up his wrench. Just another day that ends with 'y' for the boy genius.


Bubbles can tell there's no malice behind DeeDee's actions. But Dexter clearly hates this and has mixed feelings about it all. Yes, Dexter still loves his sister. But clearly, he's at his wits end.


Dexter tries to continue their previous conversation like nothing happened. He's so used to this that he doesn't even look up. He just gets ready to get back to work.


And when he turns back around, he sees that Bubbles had cleaned up his lab. She even managed to fix some of his machines. Bubbles then lands in front of him and tries to empathize with Dexter. After all, if Buttercup just broke down the door, broke her crayons, and then just left her to clean up the mess, she'd be heartbroken too.


And finally, Dexter feels so validated. Having had to keep this secret for so long, he couldn't vent about DeeDee destroying his lab. Finally, someone understands him and it feels...nice.


lol, I put too much effort into a random ship that nobody likes. But, oh well.
