!!dndads spoilers!! -> a small taylor & nicky rant
personally i cheered when taylor rejected nicky...and like i love nicky so much hes like one of my favorite characters but taylor gets to decide if he wants his dad in his life now, and after all of the shit that has happened i dont doubt he just wants to be with his mom
and who knows maybe in the future he decides to have a relationship with nicky and have his dad back in his life, but as of rn hes completely in the right to say no to that
i think nicky is also healing from his own issues with his dad, and i think its good seeing glenn and nicky working their issues out away from taylor,
taylor needs time to heal from everything and i dont think having to deal with his issues with his dad on top of his own stuff is gonna do him any good, like he said hes got his mom :)

I think that Taylor being the way he is happens to be the best timeline especially when you look at his dad. Like, you see this big cool demon with his flaming sword and his powers and his demonic features and the way he just charges in and takes down a bunch of enemies and oh my gosh he's so cool and then you see his son is just this geeky little teenager.

Today is Dungeons & Daddies’s 5th Anniversary!
I haven’t been listening for nearly that long but the podcast and all its characters means a lot to me. Happy Anniversary!!!
Throwing the cropped sections under the cut because there’s a lot of stuff going on and I know Tumblr likes to throw half the pixel quality out the window. And also so I can ramble a bit about this piece!!!
This piece has been months in the making, possibly an entire year. And by that I mean I’ve had a sketch of the comp scribbled on my whiteboard for ages because I wanted to save this specifically for 5th anni art. Now onto design stuff!
(First off a random thought: I really love how the garlic knot came out, I kind of want it as an enamel pin.)
I knew I wanted to make this a stained glass piece since the beginning, but I was also going to add flowers at one point but quickly dropped the idea. It felt like too much and I also didn’t want to fuss over flower language assignments for everyone. I was also going to add Doodler tentacles, but also dropped that idea pretty early. Kind of on accident, right at the end, I figured out how to make it even more stained glass-like but taking a duplicated lineart underneath the regular layer and turning the brightness all the way down, then setting it to overlay and adding a guassian blur. It’s very subtle but it adds that tiny bit of depth that makes it look more real. As for shading on the lineart/gold, I tried adding more highlight on the characters who died but once I evened everything out it wasn’t as noticeable anymore so I’m throwing that thought here so the attempt at least known lol.
The order of characters only changed a little bit from my original comp, I flipped the Wilsons and the Oaks so the rainbow could work. As for the anchors, specifically in season 2, I lined them up to the teens since the season 1 anchors lined up with each dad:
Tony —> Scary: his death was the beginning of Scary’s betrayal arc and also Willy killed him.
Guitar Pick —> Taylor: it’s not really aligned with Taylor at all, but the anchor was with Glenn so I put it next to his blunt.
Scroll —> Normal: was only because it was the last left to give him, but there’s the whole scene of him and Hermie in the Green Room so it still works!
Garlic Knot —> Link: one of two that he broke, but the more significant of the two with him telling Grant he never wants to see him again.
Small notes on the season 1 anchors: I put the layer of mold in the overnight oats but you can’t really tell with the overlay. And to make the supper bowl more interesting I added the fantasy sodas mix they dumped into it. The lure of actually drawn before so I just traced my own art lol.
As for the other smaller triangles, it took me a bit to figure out what I wanted to put there. I didn’t even think of adding the vehicles until two days ago but I’m so glad I did. I don’t really have my own take on the mascot version of the Doodler (yet?) so I borrowed the design from one of the stickers in their merch shop. Teeny was terrifying as just a front facing head so I made him cute again.
In the outer circles, I put what I felt was the most significant quotes for each family. I really wanted to use “It’s okay to be angry, it’s not okay to be cruel” but it was just a little too long.
That’s all I can think of! If you read all the way through, thank you for indulging me in my excitement to gush over this piece.

hc that once Sparrow learned wildshape as a teen the kiddads all went buckwild with it
they have a video of sparrow as a horse staring at the ocean, you can hear the other kids giggling profusely behind the camera, it zooms in and you can hear him sigh, see him duck his head down solemnly and say "Man" quietly, then they all fucking lose it and the video ends with Nicky, who was filming, dropping the phone because of how hard he's laughing
