#may i say DADDY

[shatterdome-underscore]

The four players on dndads each fall perfectly into the four ways of playing dnd

Matt: uses the mechanics to play pretend real hard in a way that is most beneficial to the group

Beth: is perfectly in tune with her character and makes very good, compelling character choices that are sometimes v upsetting

Will: is trying so hard to kiss his friends in fiction will someone please just give this guy a break

Freddie: playing 4-D chess with himself in a way that makes me cackle at his shenanigans

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndads spoilers #matt arnold #beth may #will campos #freddie wong #freddie finally figuring out how to play a ranger right before Anthony offers to let them respec is v funny to me #but the moment he figured out how to get a +15 to stealth i knew. hes not gonna change #this is an appreciation post for all of them #and let me just say theyre all able to move between these archtypes and stuff and theyre all so good at their characters

Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely think that from a moral standpoint Glenn made the better choice at the end of the trial- in fact I think one of the most tragic things about that scene (where we hear Glenn’s reasoning and all that) is that if you needed irrefutable proof that Glenn is both a good person and a good dad, there it was! But of course by that point it was already too late.

But… Sometimes I find myself thinking about… How to put this… If Nick had learned of his dad’s decision, do you think he might have… Taken it the wrong way? Do you think if Nick Close had learned that Glenn chose to give up being his dad, he would have understood this as the ultimate act of abandonment? Or that his dad didn’t see him as someone worth fighting for? Not that I think Nick would have wanted his dad to fight the dragon either per se, but… Well, maybe deep down some part of him would have, actually.

#I frankly don’t know if this one is coherent! But I really do think about this a lot actually. As much as it may seem unimportant. #Also Nick Close posting is gonna become my new favourite thing I think #dndads #dungeons and daddies #Nick close #glenn close #glenn close dndads #nicky freeman #🤔 will this resonate with anyone other than myself? Who can say! #I really did think that somehow Glenn’s decision at the end of the trial would have somehow been used as proof that his verdict was wrong #But alas the Burch man would not have it be so easy… #I really do need to get back to writing lawless (a fic of mine!) at some point 😤 #Even if that story is about all the kids- and though you wouldn’t necessarily be able to tell by what’s currently out- #It is actually at the base of it all a story about Nick Close

so, who's gonna pay for miri's therapy once she's old enough for them to explain all of this shitshow to her

#oh boy she's got a lot to unpack there #you know i think kyutaro may have had a point #but for the sake of the plot and my own peace of mind we're not gonna actually discuss this !! #miri asking how did they end up adopting her and them saying 'wdym adopted kazuki literally birthed you' #buddy daddies #miri unasaka #rei suwa #kurusu kazuki

"[] I'm speaking to my own experience here and I'm not sure how universal or not universal it is, but I think, with kids raised by boomers, boomer-adjecent people, especially people who tend to put people in sort of of binary boxes, you generally see anger rewarded in boys and sadness rewarded in girls. And what I mean by that is that anger as an emotion is an active, like, doable thing--feeling, and I think that men who feel angry are in some senses rewarded or seen as more masculine for being angry. [] And something I experienced when I was little was that it was ok for me to be sad, like that was chill, but being angry was a naughty thing. I was not allowed to be angry because that's a bad person thing, or whatever.

And I think that women are rewarded, or at least very much more accepted, to be sad rather than angry. I think ultimately what am I saying other than that people just freak out if you exit a certain binary box that you've been placed in. But I think that almost all anger that I see in the perpetual toxicity of men raising angry men raising angry men, is that there's a deep sadness below all of that."

A misfits conversation that somehow gets veered towards parents

Lenore:I don't like my parents very much

Eulalie, innocently: Because of your daddy issues?

Lenore:How do you know about my daddy issues

Pluto: It's kinda obvious

Bernice: You do not get to talk Pluto, you aren't any better babes

Pluto: What! What does that mean

Duke: Mon minou allez, you constantly hide in your jacket and hair is constantly covering half your face at all times

Pluto: That's...

Pluto:That's fair

Lenore:Do good parents exist, I surely never met one.

Morella: I think so, some have to right?

Berenice: I'm sure they do, most of us haven't remembered our parents anyway, they could be saints.

The misfits:...

Eulalie, cheerfully: probably not

#nevermore webtoon #duke nevermore #lenore nevermore #pluto nevermore #eulalie nevermore #berenice nevermore #misfits #But may! In this time period they wouldn't say daddy issues- #shhh #let me pretend #<3 #this is probably out of character #but i had fun

why did i just see someone complaining abt ppl headcanoning dndads characters being neurodivergent. And technically they only mentioned ocd and autism specifically. But i suspect it is not just those (although ppl Were also talking about adhd and they didnt seem to have any problem with that! Hm. Wonder Why!)

dog consider that this is a Nonissue. "But but 😭. why are you talking about this in context of a dnd podcast and making them seem like fun character quirks" my brother in christ they literally said they relate to this character and ALSO have that so u KNOW why + even if they didnt it doesnt MATTER as long as they r not being weird abt it

As long as people are respectful (and the ppl theyre referring to Were!) there is quite literally nothing wrong with saying "hey i have xyz disorder and this character shows traits and has relationships that strongly imitate xyz disorder". OR EVEN "hey this character who has been through this traumatic thing probavly has xyz trauma related disorder." Or perhaps "Hey this character meets the criteria for/shows symptoms of xyz and interpreting them as such is a way to explore their character in a new light"

I would argue in fact that it is an issue to say "you arent allowed to talk about any of these in reference to characters because it's making a joke of them" or whatever. Dude people with ocd Exist. And.! people with literally anything else!. it is absurd to imply that mental illnesses/disorders cannot be considered and explored when interpreting stories. Like that is ridiculous

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #AND ALSOOO not to mention! #the players have literally brought up autism hcs. they support people making them. who CARES #+ the literal podcast is about generational trauma what do u mean they are making light of issues #if you only listen to the pod as fun background noise that is Fine but do not act like it can't have meaningful interpretations 😭 #idk . even in media that's not particularly “serious” u can still have these hcs. its like saying u cant make gay or trans hcs #like i do hate to break it to u but those people just Exist . it is bot absurd to say that they may Also exist in a piece of media #we need critical thinking skills BACK

but i mean if kr can do it, then i-

#this is vee speaking #i quite literally got home yesterday and sat my ass down to draw him LMAO #my feed was a bit of a mixed bag of reactions tho lol #like i had a few people on my feed saying they might have to start coming to terms with a direction hypmic is taking they don't rly like #and it's a sentiment i have seen growing since the bp albums i think and maybe even earlier when the leaders rather quickly made up #one fan i saw was wishing to go back to the vibe of the 2nd drb and 8th live hype and they're a fan who likes to analyse kuukou #so they're wanting content to overthink and instead are getting gooner material and i may be big on both but i get it lol #hypmic probably needs to lock back in lol it's been too long since EVERYONE had food for thought and not just like bb rei and fp stans lol #maybe the thirst trap is kr tryna signal everyone to come back since they're announcing daddy canon is back-- #hm??? kuukou has nip and belly button piercings in my art??? #well whaddya know he sure does wow!!!! that's pretty based imo LOL #vee is arting

Tears literally blurring up my vision as i post this. This was hands down, one of the (if not) best episode we've been given so far and it was so worth the wait.

#no literally tears in my eyes #my dad came to talk with me and reminded me exactly why im watching a show like Buddy Daddies at 21 #you can imagine how i felt immediately coming back from that to watch two fathers and their kid be happy #may be if mine was more like them we couldve been happier #ah i ended saying sad shit in the tags again lmao #fml #buddy daddies #episode 9
