*9 to 5 sigh of exhaustion* its been a long week. pass the dndads s1 juice

Silly silly guys. They are in love.

Lark, Sparrow and Norm!

Edit: I realized I switched their names around! Sparrows the furthest left.

I think the Oaks should be inhuman. I want some eldritch fucking hippies.

I want to see Normal keep practicing his cheers a little too long, stamina still up in the sky when everyone around him is exhausted, not even sweating, when he’s been going for hours without a break. I want to see Hero be shown to not blink, or to not breathe like humans should. I want to see Lark have such mastery over his weapons that they seem to be a part of him, and when you look too close, it doesn’t just seem like his weapons are a part of him. I want to see Sparrow be a little too still at times, when listening to something, or when paying attention, not making even the slightest of sounds, not even a heartbeat. I wanted to see Henry smell, not just badly, but like a burning pain that shouldn’t be familiar but is. I wanted to see Barry twist and move in ways he shouldn’t, cracking and popping a few too many times, comfortable in positions he shouldn’t even be able to achieve.

GIVE ME SOME NON HUMAN OAKS GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

Yall know that Lark turned into an avid meat enthusiast. The servers at Texas Roadhouse know him by name.

sparrow: Lark, could you please stop trying to grill deer kebabs on barbecue night, I feel like the smell saps over into my seared squash and turns the whole batch all-

lark: I never thought I’d see the day where one of us turns into dad.

DNDADS S2 SPOILERS!

Midnight thoughts at it again :)

Sparrow named Normal and Hero that way because Hero was supposed to be a sacrifice to save the world and Normal was just the replacement kid. He didn’t be a father to them because he didn’t want to grow bonds with them and watch them die. In the end, he didn’t even take in an optimistic hope that perhaps everything goes well without his children dying and just named them what they would be in his story. A hero and a normal kid.

You would think that she’d have at least a little bit of a relationship with Hero, the person he focused his whole attention on but instead it most likely just concerned her, made her feel alone and made her distance herself from him as much as she could. Think about it. Your dad and your uncle always takes you on these ‘trips’ to go hunting, learn how to use guns and knives, etc. without your younger brother going as well. You just have 2 fully grown adults going, teaching only YOU something. Wondering why your brother doesn’t come either and if this is a normal thing that happens to people. Then, you are told by them that you are the chosen one and now put this incredibly heavy weight onto you, A CHILD. You never asked for this but you also can’t talk to anyone else about it so you’re left alone, with just your thoughts.

And Normal. You’re ABSOLUTELY wondering why your name is Normal but your sister’s is Hero. And the fact that she constantly goes on trips with your dad and uncle that you NEVER get invited to. At a very young age, you are already questioning what is wrong with you, why does your dad not like you as much, why am I not as good as my sister. You feel isolated away from them, like there is something that everyone knows is obvious that you don’t. It makes you feel like an idiot. Even if you ask, your dad doesn’t allow you on these trips so you just stay at home, wondering. Your dad never puts in much effort to be your dad, what are you doing wrong? And if he never puts in any energy into being a parent, why should you put in effort to be his son?

Sparrow was too scared to get attached to his own children.

(I love Sparrow but my GOD, he needs to take a lesson from Ron’s books and be the dad that stepped up)

it’s becoming real…

making my halloween costume😍

Something something Nark but it's actually a retelling of Persephone where Lark goes to hell to be with Nick for like day but do time shenanigans its actually been 6 months and Sparrow is fucking shit up because Lark didn't leave a note.

I had fun drawing this I love-a fire!!!

I just really hope that at some point when we see Henry for the first time, Anthony says “when everyone sees Henry, you pause, cause it doesn’t look like an old man you’ve never met before is in front of you. It’s like you’re seeing another normal… but older. It’s like you’re seeing the same man, but twice.”

And I really really hope that at some point, if Henry and normal face off against lark and sparrow, he brings up that four men, two sets of almost identical men look at each other with heartbreak and maybe a bit of anger

Crap i need to post here more-

here’s a link to my current nark playlist. im still working on it but it has some of my favorite songs so enjoy!!

some of these need to be removed and i need to add some more but yeah!! it’s a wip-

season 1 oak twins my beloveds!! i rlly love the fact that they started as identical twins w chaotic personalities and ended as twins that are now very different but still inseparable....!!

theyre my fave sons (bcs i love me some twin characters!!) but that might be bcos i have a bias towards the oak-garcia family bcs they look like hippie druids in my mind 😭😭

Oak boys :)

Yes Lark, this outfit. Resident Doodler ladies, gentlemen and people ✨

The Oaks Are Alone

Hildy- Literally in a different fuckijg world

Barry- half-elf, moms from a literal different fucking world, contains a eldritch god giving him a god complex

Henry- least chill person in entire community, then become the guy with amnesia who had no nostalgia for anything in a time when that shit was everywhere, then become the dads who’s kids fucking ended the world, and then the dad left alone just because he was too scared of his own father and kids but mostly himself

Sparrow and Lark- I know what you’re saying. “Minty, how are they alone, that’s have each other” BULLSHIT. You can be alone with other people it’s a plaguing state of mind. These codependent fuckos have been isolated just from day one. Twins, so they’re one unit, and then the doodler thing, and then the prophecy, on top of all the being cravers of violence and life and excitement that everyone else seems to find draining and painful

Hero- you’re gonna tell me that being a magically destined child, ‘sent to save the world’ isn’t a lot for a kid? Isn’t enough to make forming new relationships with people who do. Or even don’t know that? You’re gonna tell me that she has a healthy social life being the chosen one who had to murder a deer at 5am last night in the woods and taste it’s blood so she could track it made her good at making friends with the new kid?

Normal- somehow the odd one out in a group of three, four, and especially in five. The fucking teens have three odd ones out and two of them don’t like this (and now unfortunately don’t like each other or themselves) but can’t change it. Isolated for being a mascot, a figure that stands alone, there’s only one mascot. Isolated for being too loud, for being too blunt, for being too stupid. Isolated for being stupid enough to be himself. That’s always their first mistake. Sometimes the last, too.

TL;DR

These fuckers never feel like anyone can relate to them properly even if somebody can *cough cough* the twins *cough cough*

getting into knives by tmg is a lark oak song
