Dave Seville

Hey there, everyone. I’m Dave. I’m the proud father of three amazing kids and apparently also the grandfather of a robot, a bird, and a dog. Our family is very strange, but I wouldn’t want to be a part of any other one. I write songs for a living and sometimes that’s tougher than it sounds. I also support my kids and their friends on their journey to become famous rockstars and popstars.

“Dangus and I have tickets to see a new movie today and then we’re planning to have dinner at the cafe.”

“Problem is, I don’t have anyone to watch the boys.”

“Are they mature enough to stay home by themselves? Should I put one of them in charge?”

The Dave practice sketches are finally ready. This is probably only the 5th time Alvin 2.0 and I have ever drawn Dave.

ALVIN 2.0: There’s something weird about drawing your own dad. I’m getting pretty good though!

I think my favorite is a tie between the one with all three chipmunks or the one of him being suspicious of his coffee.

I’m definitely feeling more confident now. Thanks to @boiwthboi03 for some tips on drawing Dave.

“I’m not crying. You’re crying.”

“Alvin introduced me to this song. I can’t get enough. It’s very relatable.”

“They aren’t my blood, but they’re my boys.” 🎶

What was the last thing Alvin did that made you shout?

“Well, I’ve been trying to yell at him less.”

“However, yesterday he was zipping around on his flying skateboard in the house and I ended up having to shout to get his attention.”

“Do you think giving Alvin this will show him I no longer think that his gaming is a waste of time?”

“Saw this at the craft store today and I couldn’t resist.”

“This is going in the music room above my piano.”

[davidrossseville]

“Looking at today’s schedule…I’m going to need a lot more coffee for this.”

[davidrossseville]

“I’m paying much more attention to all my kids now and you wouldn’t BELIEVE the things they’re telling me happened when my back was turned.”

“Eleanor took a joyride in my car. Simon created his own science themed webshow. Alvin stole all of Brittany’s makeup for a science fair project. Brittany maxed out Miss. Miller’s credit card. And apparently Jeanette and Theodore went to an environmental protest event and caused a riot too.”

“What am I going to do with these kids!?”

“I love them dearly, but WHAT OTHER PARENT HAS TO PUT UP WITH THIS!?”

Writing is hard after a long long break from it.

The Warbie fic is marginally further, but not finished. It’s 3 scenes from the end.

But, we needed to work through something else in our heads, so Alvin and I gift you with this script fic that I might eventually add to mini tales.

We might add the Alvin POV, or I might pivot and write from Dave’s POV. Who knows.

I’m TRYING to be flexible.

Hope you enjoy this little peek into the headspace.

“Thanksgiving plans have changed at least 4 times in the last 2 days. Apparently Miss. Miller’s house isn’t suited for company, so we’ll be having the whole thing at Officer Dangus’s.”

“I haven’t even gotten the sweet potato casserole made yet.”

“But the pumpkin pie is done! At least that’s one thing checked off the list.”

WE HAVE A SMALL DRAWING DUMP HERE FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT!

School is almost out for winter break, but I used my small week off to sleep, mostly. So very little has actually gotten done. Oopsiessss....

[davidrossseville]

“It’s the most stressful time of the year.” 🎶

“I’m not kidding. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are far too many holidays and far too close together.”

“Alvin keeps asking me to invite Dr. Wilson to Thanksgiving dinner. I’m not sure we’ll have space, but I don’t want to disappoint him.”

[davidrossseville]

“It’s been ages since I posted.”

“I just want to say, I’m happy that I don’t have to watch my kid struggle on medication that isn’t right for him every day anymore.”

“I wish it had worked, but while medication helps a lot of Autistic and ADHD individuals, it isn’t right for everyone.”

“I just bought Alvin a giant bag of wild berry Gummy Nerds and the smile on his face was definitely worth every penny.”

“He’s quietly working on his homework right now. I asked him if he still feels like himself and he said yes. He also thanked me for the candy. He’s getting so much better with his manners too.”

[davidrossseville]

“Alvin did incredibly well handling a stressful situation today with very little screaming….compared to how much he usually screams about things like this.”

“Technology is so tough to understand. Why does one account need 4 usernames and passwords?”

“Anyway, the boys now have their Student Portal set up so they can keep tabs on their report cards when school starts up again.”

“I’m going to need a coffee after all that.”

“Happy Father’s Day to our dear old dad!” @davidrossseville

“I hope you enjoy your complimentary lunch we made especially for you. You sacrifice so much for us and we don’t always put that in perspective when criticizing you. You are the best father any of us could ask for and we’re so lucky that you adopted us.”
