okay since they said that the san diego show is gonna be the only one Not recorded, i'll do my best to summarize the show for y'all!!!

-glenn's dad fact: the glenn close trio instagram (? i think?) is full of pictures of glenn standing next to a picture of the real glenn close

-darryl's dad fact: he and carol go to san diego very frequently because darryl likes the breweries and carol likes surfing! they have not "had sex" there once, but they HAVE made love (statements that made me cringe out loud)

-henry's dad fact: he and mercedes make a fake san diego burrito for themselves and the twins. it sounds awful.

-ron's dad fact: he thinks san diego is a type of eggo waffle

-the prompt that we rolled was called DADDY BABIES. the plotline? the dads (and paeden) went to the dimensional witch tilt toblerona to ask her to give them the strength of their youth back so they could find their kids. instead, tilt turned them into babies.

-the dads still have all of their memories of who they are as people and they can talk to themselves and to paeden (tilt does not understand them though, tilt only hears baby noises) but physically Being a baby affects their mental state just a bit

-ron wanted to stay a baby forever. henry tried to explain the concept of ageplay to him, darryl got confused thinking that ron just wanted to HAVE a baby like with samantha, henry had to explain fetishes

-during the baby section, henry is the most "adult" and ends up having to corral the others. darryl is a close second, but glenn and ron both Suffer Immensely

-while tilt is making. applesauce? the babies scheme on how to escape, involving an elaborate scheme in which henry uses mold earth on playdoh to make fake versions of themselves blue in the face and choking in a plastic bag and ron throwing his voice to sound like a baby crying. beth made the worst fake crying noise ever but then also gave us an INSANE dolphin noise when anthony called her out on it

-(also the dads had to roll object permanence to see if they thought tilt was gone forever when she was out of their line of sight. glenn failed this check very badly. darryl even played peekaboo with him to demonstrate object permanence and it failed. anthony made a horrible horrible joke that glenn's not a bad parent he just has bad object permanence even when it comes to nick)

-somehow this works? they trap tilt toblerona (glenn using illusory mind prison to make tilt think SHES the one choking on a plastic bag, henry casting stone wall on her to build a lego wall around her and effectively cask of amontillado-ing her) and then wander around the house looking for a way out.

-they realize they need tilt's key to escape, but first they watch an episode of bluey! henry is the only one who saved on a roll to Not be sucked into watching bluey and ends up unplugging the TV and going on a tangent about how screentime is bad

-(which is really fucking funny because he very explicitly says "lark and sparrow are well behaved because we set boundaries and have them play outside instead of using screens" and we all know how lark and sparrow are like. not???? not well behaved. henry im so sorry to break this to you but they are not well behaved-)

-anyways they get back to tilt, find and steal her key, and then open the door, promptly getting sucked through dimensions

-(darryl thinks for a second that he's in the rapture and tries to baptize himself in case his baby form isn't baptized. henry tries to help but goes on another tangent and they miss the opportunity)

-when they awaken, they find themselves now as teenagers in a classroom! and they see a GOTH PUNK SEEKER OF DARKNESS (phrases that made the entire crowd erupt in screaming, myself included)

-this time, darryl is the most stable of the dads! glenn coming in second, and then ron and henry were both. very teenager.

-darryl immediately offers to play ball with link. link is interested but ultimately gets shot down by tilt, who explains that they are in interdimensional detention forever

-glenn and taylor immediately bond over how cool they are

-scary asks ron if she can copy his math homework because he seems smart with a tie. ron agrees to let her but is very nervous about it (we later find out this is because he is not very good at math)

-teenage henry is a fucking delight yall. he sits there staring out the window at the trees and writing poetry (with long hair! long hair teenage hen is real!!!) about the trees and enjoying nature

-scary has to roll not to fall in love with him the second she finds out that he writes poetry (she fails)

-normal tries to bond with his grandfather. henry brushes him off entirely. its heartbreaking and also hilariously funny

-normal goes fucking apeshit yall. he gets so fed up of henry ignoring him and the others not talking to him and being trapped in this small room that he takes a crossbow and threatens tilt with it. she calls his bluff and he SHOOTS HER?

-at least, he tries. she catches the bolt and then tells him that if he's serious he needs to actually stab the bolt into her heart himself. he does. he's unhinged.

-tilt tries to explain her entire sob story backstory. darryl interrupts to boo her and call her a loser.

-glenn and taylor throw a desk out of the window to break it open. going out the window Will Kill You.

-ron paints the window like a slip and slide to try and trick tilt into going into it. it doesn't work. however two guards come in and it DOES work on one of the guards

-the other guard eventually gets physically thrown out of the window by taylor, who proudly declares that this will not affect him at all

-henry goes to talk to scary. scary gets excited, but then henry just asks if she thinks that teen darryl would go out with henry because even though he's "not henry's type", something about him is captivating. scary is heartbroken.

-darryl overhears this and rejects henry on the basis of him still dating carol! but offers to set henry up with carol's friends.

-glenn and taylor use awful fireworks to blind tilt, the other guard (that taylor kills), and normal since he was in range.

-scary tries to be bitter and calls henry out for being blind, but henry wasn't hit with the spell and immediately says some fakedeep shit about seeing more than most people do. it is insanely funny i cannot stress how funny teenage henry is

-link is now convinced that public schools were a mistake and he needs to leave Right Now. he rolls a nat 20 on taking the key, but uses it for himself to fucking dip. he just ditches them. he bolts for it. normal even tries to give him a high five and link completely goes NOPE.

-when nobody else has another form of escape, henry takes out his sketchbook? that apparently he always has as a teen? and uses summon creature to draw a boar and bring it to life. the boar smashes through the door and now they are saved!

-it is here that it is revealed this was all a dream but specifically a dream set pre-canon. darryl makes a comment about link being a narc. glenn tells taylor to never change because he's perfect exactly the way he is. scary tells ron that he sucks at math (and ron is very confused about scary's existence he doesn't know who she is).

-HENRY. tells normal to be the best version of himself. AND TO HELP HIM WITH THAT. he draws. TEENY. TO GIVE TO NORMAL AND INSPIRE HIM TO BE HIS BEST SELF. and that is how normal came up with teeny the teen as the mascot of teen high

-it was such a fun show, i'm so glad i got to attend! shame that it isn't being recorded

every so often i remember that the teens have never encountered another druid before and don’t know that wildshape is a thing that exists and i think it makes lovewolf sparrow better and in my head the teens had more of a reaction to seeing an adult turn into a wolf seemingly out of nowhere

#dndads #kasey rambles #dndads spoilers #it’s funny to ME

having ocs as a broke writer is the worst thing in the world. there are guys living in your head. people will only know about your guys if you write them. writing is also evil and bad and you cannot write them in any way that matters. good luck.

#kasey rambles #i wish i could tell people about my ocs all the time #but alas i cannot draw and nobody is interested in ocs unless they have cool art

Nearly a full year later, I was in another car accident and this time is so much worse than the last time for various reasons- the biggest being that I don't have the money to pay the towing fee and I definitely do not have the money to fix my car. I hate asking, but I need all the help I can get right now- especially since my family most definitely will not help me and I don't have anything else I can do. Every little bit helps <3

for all that transmasc nicky seems to be extremely popular in the fandom we do not give enough love to transfem cassandra where are her laurels she deserves better

#kasey rambles #dndads #/lh #my dirty secret is that i’ve been openly dreaming about t4t nick/cass #and wlw sparrow/rebecca #all being flaming bisexuals and flirting with each other #cause it’s a fun concept #but my point stands where is the love for tgirl cass

guys :( i can’t sleep and i can’t stop thinking about the og dads being freed from their cells and greeting their kids and grandkids and celebrating willy’s defeat but when henry goes to where normal is normals all sad and then he looks over at the twins and sparrows a whole mess and henry can put the pieces together and and sparrow blames himself for everything but maybe this is the right opportunity for henry to finally forgive him and

#dndads #kasey rambles #dndads spoilers #i don’t think sparrow loved rebecca romantically that’s a hill i will die on #but like. they were married :( with kids :( they were life partners :( #and sparrows already in a very fragile emotional state this is going to make him so much worse

my sexuality hcs for dndads characters fluctuates a lot depending on situation and preference except for one absolute truth that nobody will ever convince me to change and that truth is that bisexuality, much like the Doom, runs through the oak family with only one exception. hildy is bi, barry is bi though he probably does not know that by choice, mercedes and rebecca are bi, the twins are both bi in various flavors, normal is bi. the exception is hero, who is aroace with a sapphic lean. that’s my truth thank you for listening

#dndads #kasey rambles #i’m objectively right is the thing #idc what anyone else says you cannot change my mind

hi guys... this is not a post i wanted to be making but yesterday i was in a minor car accident- i’m fine, but my car is. not </3 and with a $6.5k estimate on the repairs plus no way of getting to work reliably, these next few months are gonna be difficult for me. but! my birthday is tomorrow and if you like the work i’ve done and want to support me as a birthday present, my ko-fi is linked below- between bills to pay and the repairs, anything will help !

everyone wants a morally grey character who would let the world burn if it meant protecting their loved ones until they’re given one, in which case they are deemed irredeemable and a bad person and villainized by the fandom

#kasey rambles #this is about sparrow oak garcia #the double standards in this fandom are real

[kaseyskat]

guys. as fun as it is to imagine normal and hero having different dads (i know i’ve messed with that plotline before!) for all intents and purposes sparrow is normal’s dad. it doesn’t matter if it isn’t entirely biological (and would we even know? they ARE identical twins) for anything other than making normal potentially Also in the running for being the chosen one. sparrow still raised normal, he is still normal’s dad, that’s how family works

#dndads #kasey rambles #dndads spoilers #i think erin only said that to give normal a hard time #if ron / terry jr / scary get daddy magic from each other #then it would be sparrows relationship with normal that does it. not lark’s #lark isn’t normal’s dad he’s not the one that raised him (even if he was heavily involved)

[kaseyskat]

how to explain tonight’s show in a way that makes sense. henry had to explain the concept of a fetish to darryl. they met the s2 teens pre-canon as their teenage self. teen henry is moody and emo and was writing poetry and scary instantly had a crush on him. paeden wanted to commit murder the whole time. it was so much

#dndads #kasey rambles #i’m still losing my mind and processing shit btw #we got deaged dads !

[kaseyskat]

i was quiet about it here but by the way i still think about how beth clocked that scary and normal were very similar people and therefore gave scary a crush on hermie for the exact same reason normal had a crush on hermie. the narrative foils strike again i love it here

#dndads #kasey rambles #i might start calling them gothcheer in my head #but yeah that was like. my favorite part of the sophomore slump teen talk

something about how sparrow blamed himself for releasing the doodler even though he wasn't involved at all. something about him taking lark's place and telling henry that if anyone deserved to die for this it should be him. something about him being the one to actively make the decision to swap the realms and doom people he knew and cared about in favor of his family. it was the right decision, if the main families had died nobody would be left to stop it when the doodler started poking holes into the other dimensions and both worlds would've gone down anyways. but sparrow didn't know that when he chose it, he just knew that someone had to be the bad guy and instead of making lark do it he did it himself he spared lark of that burden. knowing both of his parents will never forgive him. knowing that despite what they said, he couldn't do any better than this because he doesn't know how and the only thing henry taught him was how to love and that's all sparrow can do. he can only love. it was his love for lark that let him step up and have lark stay behind, it was his love for normal that fueled his desperate desire to make sure they all made it out alive, it was his love for henry and mercedes that had him frantically going for the amplifier knowing that his might alone wouldn't save them and they would all die in that room if he didn't do something about it. and it was his love that would doom his relationships with everyone he cared about. except lark, who is the only one that tells him he made the right choice. no wonder sparrow clings so hard to lark nowadays. what do you do when your twin is actively making you worse and you choose to enable it because you've already burned every other bridge in your life and this is all you have left?

#dndads #kasey rambles #dndads spoilers #sparrow oak garcia #my thoughts are not coherent im just rambling #i just. really do think sparrow was right to enact code purple in that moment #and im already seeing backlash from it which is CRAZY cause yall were just fine with the dads doing code purple?!?!?! #nobody lost any love for THEM when they were the ones speculated to have started this mess #and its so NUANCED #and i wish we had gotten to see sparrow lark and henry's fallout reaction after the memory ended #(if that was even sparrow to begin with)
