Okay, I have these stupid long essays in my head comparing the S2 dads with the S1 dads
Full of specific evidence and explanations and all that... What I *don’t* have is the time to write those up without destroying myself.
So instead, what I have for you here are some point-form notes full of my hot takes, predictions and senseless switching between second and third tense!
Will these make sense to anyone? Fuck I hope so, but honestly who can say. Nevertheless, I need to get these thoughts out of my head so that I can move on to other stuff. Bulk of the post below the cut, cause it’s long, but here’s a little peek at the structure/mappings:
Sparrow = Glenn
Grant = Henry
Terry Jr. = Darryl
Nicky = Ron
Got that? Okay then, let’s get into it!
Sparrow and Glenn
It’s obvious that you love your son to death, but he wants so badly to hear that you’re proud of him and you are so, so bad at offering that
“Loss of fatherhood status” as a looming threat thank you Jodie and Lark
Probably the most controversial/polarizing/scrutinized dads of their seasons?
The pen is mightier than the sword but if that doesn’t work, yeah, they will kill you
Actually the friendliest with the kids that aren’t their own/the most willing to take them seriously (no really!!!)
I think this is likely gonna be viewed as a hot take for Sparrow but… These two trust their kids and believe in their ability to make their own decisions the most!
This is partially reflected in their lax parenting styles. And yet…
Quite willing/able to step in and be protective/draw a line when required
Greatest tendency to think of things with respect to the long-term (and “play the long game” more generally), also reflected in their parenting.
Somehow resilient to the point that it’s a flaw
Something something sneaky bastards that hold their cards very close
Overall, perhaps most heavily in contrast with Henry and Grant
If Sparrow really is Glenn: It’s gonna get better, I think, but first it’s gonna get much worse. Fate will force you to finally acknowledge your trauma, and in the meantime… You’re gonna carry that weight.
Grant and Henry
The pride, love, and acceptance you have for your son(s) is endless, and we love you for that
But you’ve failed to prepare them for the real world, and they will suffer as a result
As far as you’re concerned they can be whoever they want to be… As long as they don’t end up like you!
Very keen on not making the same mistakes as their fathers
Reactive, impulsive… But means well!
Really, such big hearts… And so much self-hate
Just constantly going through it, really
The thought of your kid hating you is a deeply terrifying one, and unfortunately fate seems to have it out for you
When push comes to shove, they struggle to have faith in their sons, and tend to baby them
Tendency to second guess and overthink, but this makes them flexible, and capable of self-reflection
Probably put the most conscious effort into being a good parent and adapting to their sons’ needs
As established, polar opposite of Sparrow and Glenn
If Grant really is Henry: oh god oh fuck ohhhh god oh fuuuuck You’ll try so very hard to make sure your son still loves you but… Will you ever learn to love yourself?
Terry Jr. and Darryl
You both try really hard to give your kid the dad that you had, who you loved dearly
But… They don’t need *your* dad
Absolutely overflowing with unconditional love
Struggle to give their kids space, and a bit oblivious to this fact
(Related) They try quite hard to be there for their kid it’s just… Never quite in the way that their kid wants/needs
“Tough love” is near impossible for them
Seriously they’re such pushovers for their kids lol
Particularly protective
Probably the most well-rounded and emotionally stable, overall
Highest level of contrast with Nicky and Ron
If Terry Jr really is Darryl: The good news is, your kid actually really doesn’t hate you at all. The bad news is, it’s still gonna take you a while to figure out how to get through to them. But… You can do it!!!
Nicky and Ron
Yes, seriously, there’s something here I swear
It’s not that you don’t want to be present in your kid’s life you just… Don’t know how.
Seriously, for all intents and purposes you might as well have met your kid yesterday
And your relationship with your dad(s) is… Particularly confusing and complicated and ultimately marked by absence so… It’s not like you really have much to go off of!
Their kids? Well on the surface they couldn’t be bothered to care about having a new parental figure in their lives but… Is that even remotely true?
It’s not a question of being a perfect dad or getting it right on the first try, it’s a question of whether or not you’re willing to put in the effort and show that you actually give a shit beyond the bare minimum.
Contrast with Terry and Darryl
If Nicky really is Ron: He’ll step up!!! He’ll figure it out and find his way into his son’s life one way or another and… Probably be the best off by the end of the season tbh.
Okay that’s it that’s it thank you for entertaining my thoughts on this dear reader now I’m off to sleep!

i just realized i have yet to talk about nark in this blog (which is a crime considering how much i deeply care about them), so what follows is a vaguely comprehensive list of nark headcanons.
- nicky dyed his hair throughout all his teenage years and at some point lark started to do it for him. nicky has had his hair it's natural color since they betrayed him.
- whenever lark and henry would fight, lark ran away to nicky's house and when he wasn't in the mood to talk, he'd spend hours just watching nicky cook or play the drums.
- nicky wrote multiple ridiculously sappy love letters to lark in high school and told both himself and all the other sons (when they figured it out and all of them eventually did) that it was just to mess with him but also got unreasonably jealous when lark thought they came from a girl in their class and confessed the whole thing just to stop lark from asking her out. they didn't start dating until over a year after that.
- there was a period of time when nicky was dating both cassandra and lark and they were actually really good friends for a while even after nicky and cass got divorced.
- lark was never a healer like henry or sparrow but when nicky got seriously hurt and an injury took a couple of days to heal, he'd stay by nicky's side the whole time trying to copy spells he'd seen sparrow and henry use.
- they've been caught fucking by jodie and scam on more than one occasion (while they were on their way to do the exact same thing but nicky and lark aren't going to find out about that)
that's all for now but i'll probably add to this

I keep thinking about the fucked up family tree of Glenn man
So Merryl Streep is his grandpa and Bill Close his dad, that’s chill
He was married to his wife Morgan Freeman, she died, but later she is alive again but her being alive also = not his wife and actually never was bc magic~
But that means his son Nick Close used to be his child and suddenly just was not and instead he later becomes his step dad actually
Bc at some point Nick gets a new dad bc time gets rewritten where a dude called Jodie Foster married his wife Morgan Freeman before he can and becomes Nick‘s biological dad, also Jodie is his brother now I guess??? And bc Jodie is a demon of hell and bc of magic he is now Glenn’s brother this means woops Glenn is a demon!
Luckily his rat son Nick jr is easy to explain because that was a rat he adopted in prison and who helped him escape it
The he gets back together with Morgan and she isn’t married to Jodie anymore. So now Nick who used to be his son, was then his nephew, is now his step son
His step son had a child with Cassandra Swift, aka his grand kid called Taylor Swift
Jodie then married Scam Likely??? The two have a child too who turns out to be Hermie The Unworthy, which means Scam Likely is his brother in law and Hermie is his nephew
Like dude, I fucking love DnD, shit just happens and then you try to think srsly abt it for fun and you can basically put a theory board
Dndads is fun and I love Glenn, he sucks but whatever is wrong with him is so funny
