question: would anyone be interested if I opened up for in-character Q&A?
like the sort of thing where you could send Damas asks and I’d write his answer, possibly with doodles or short comics…. this isn’t a typical ‘rp blog’ (and i don’t have any desire to turn it into one) but I used to do this sort of ask game with OCs & really enjoyed it.
anyway, send some asks if you got em!
[okay i do definitely wanna doodle the replies for these so it'll take a bit longer; just wanted to give a heads-up to confirm i got the asks!]

Let’s play Writer’s Would You Ever
Send me an ask that says “Would you ever write…” and continue the sentence.
I’ll respond with yes or no and give an explanation as to why if I want to.

more young Damas headcanon stuff!
1: arguing with Praxis (who at this point was Commander of the Guard and chief military advisor to the Crown) about appropriate leadership strategies during the metalhead war– Damas was a hotheaded teen and Action Guy who couldn’t stand waiting safely within the walls like a proper Havenite King, while Praxis naturally did not approve of the last Heir of Mar running off to the front lines.
2: shortly after Damas’s final confrontation against Praxis. I strongly doubt Praxis intended Damas to have any chance of survival– it wasn’t an ‘exile’ so much as a narrowly evaded murder attempt. Damas was presumed dead following his defeat, abandoned in the wastelands with the knowledge that even if he could somehow make it back to Haven he was no longer welcome there.
3: a couple doodles for shortly after Damas and Sig first met! Damas was on his own for a couple weeks (definitely no more than a month) before they crossed paths; after their first encounter they decided to travel together and became close friends. c:
eeyyy @geistvirus you got me on the Sig Friendship Feels train again (and the world always need more Sig tbh) so here’s a lil collection of doodlies! + bonus Sig/Damas cause their friendship is also Very Important, but I’ll leave them for other posts

survived!AU where Damas and Jak keep calling each other Damas and Jak because that’s what they’re used to and it’d be too weird to suddenly change how they call each other
bringing this back! (because I’ve been asked about this a few times and figured I should go into more detail on why this name thing is so important)
From a characterisation standpoint, it makes no sense for Damas to suddenly start ‘slipping up’ over Jak’s name after the reveal; by the time they learn the truth (assuming we’re staying close to canon timeline/events) Damas already knows and is familiar with Jak as the teen/adult he’s grown into. Learning that Jak is actually his lost son doesn’t suddenly erase all of their recent shared memories; Jak is obviously not a small child anymore and all those missed years have been instrumental in shaping who he is now (I mean, literally no one is the same person at 18 as they were at 1-2; there’s really nothing to get mixed up over). Also, Damas’s fatherly feelings for Jak were solidly established pre-reveal, so it’s not like their overall dynamic or his specific feelings would change in a big way afterwards; they’re still going to have the same familial dynamic that they’ve built over the past months and the reveal would only strengthen that relationship, not…. suddenly cause Damas to forget Jak’s name.
And if Damas was the type to get all tripped up over names, we should have seen it in his earlier interactions with Jak (since forgetting someone’s name and calling them the wrong thing by mistake is generally something that happens early on, not after months of knowing them and reliably remembering their name). I mention this because Damas absolutely does fuck up and say things that make him feel embarassed or like he overstepped the line (expressing pride when Jak does well, concern over narrow misses, etc) but he never once makes a slip-up where he calls Jak by his son’s name.
Not only is the mis-naming trope poorly supported with regards to Damas’s character, it’s also just… awful? Having your preferred name forgotten– or worse, deliberately ignored– in favour of someone else’s sentimental attachment to who you ‘used to be’ is an extremely shitty thing to experience, and honestly it would go against everything Damas and Spargus stand for.
Spargus is a society that places a lot of value on new starts– building a life for yourself, creating something you can be proud of and call your own. Sometimes a name must be changed to better suit its owner’s identity, and names that are no longer desired would swiftly be discarded, as Spargans do not cling to things that are no longer useful. Damas might have been born a Havenite, but he has fully accepted the ways of Spargus; he would absolutely respect and honour that right to a fresh start. Jak already has a perfectly good name that he’s clearly content with; it would be counterproductive for Damas to even mention the old name at all, as it’s no longer relevant or important.
By using Jak’s current name and never looking back, Damas is saying he accepts and loves Jak for who he is now– which is especially important for someone like Jak, a survivor of trauma and abuse who is accustomed to being tossed aside because he’s no longer the ‘pure hero’ kid he once was (see: Samos and Keira’s treatment of him post-TPL, Haven’s betrayal, etc). Damas using his son’s dead name post-reveal would completely undermine the power and meaning of the entire dadmas/Spargus arc (which is all about Jak finding a family/home who accept him and help him to achieve healing/balance) so please miss me with that shit.
important!! tl;dr: it makes absolutely no sense for Damas to ever refer to Jak as ‘mar’, under any circumstances (and moreover, playing this behaviour as sweet/positive is actively harmful, so… maybe don’t do that?)
will 2018 be the year this fandom finally stops romanticising parents calling their kids by deadnames?? i Sure Fucking Hope So
Consider a better alternative to Damas accidentally, repeatedly calling Jak the wrong name: Damas awkwardly attempting to call Jak “son”, once, just in case Jak wants to have that kind of relationship post-reveal, and then waiting for Jak’s approval/disapproval before calling him anything else.
Because as close as they are before the reveal, as much as they kind of already had a father/son relationship, as far as Damas is concerned there’s no guarantee that Jak actually wants to be his son. There’s a difference between being a father to your men and… actually being a father to your men. And as far as Jak is concerned, he’s never had actual parents before (sidenote where the fuck did his “uncle” come from?), so he’s not really used to being called anything other than Jak. Any kind of “son” talk would be awkward and take some getting used to at best.
[late reply but] yesss!!! this is so sweet and Good and I'm 100% here for awkward post-reveal figuring-things-out moments, especially involving communication and respect for boundaries... consent is vital to building a healthy relationship, and should be a major aspect of any post-reveal development.

jak and daxter: art improvement meme!!
started this in chat and wanted to bring it over here– share a comparison between your oldest and most recent drawings of Jak! (or any other jnd character, as long as you stick with the same one before/after)

if you draw Jak and Daxter art, reblog this post and add yours! :D
eeeyyy I did one of these for damas too!
....I learned that 1: I've done so many Damas doodles that I could easily find a recent match (similar expression/angle) for every single one of the old pics, and 2: he's changed much less than the main duo, aside from the overall stylistic drift.
it brings me joy that this fandom collectively refers to Damas as Dadmas, because we all need to emphasis that pure raw DAD power.
*wakes from nap and leans forwards in rocking chair, squinting at the sunlight* I’m amazed that we never thought of that pun back in the day.
....now I'm curious, do we know who first started using the dadmas pun?
you've heard of killing characters off for shock value, now get ready for
actual character development

dadmas shenanigans!! top pic was based on another post (i think by @meeko-mar?) about post-reveal Damas saying that line.
