I've asked a couple blogs this one before; dads react to a dadsona, who is amazing at stage makeup, practicing bruises and wounds one day, and the dads walk in and mistake them for real injuries
im mediocre at sfx and i remember once i send a picture of myself to my gf while wearing stage make up and she was like “ARE YOU OKAY??” and ill never forget that
anywho dads under the cut bc long
joseph
he walks in all happy and chipper, maybe looking at a newspaper and talking about something. you respond, just as normal and when he finally looks up he drops the newspaper and gives this shocked gasp like “oh my- oh my goodness are you okay? what happened? why aren’t you at a hospital?” and he’s freaking out because you are bleeding and his dad instincts are kicking in and you have to quickly move and show all the makeup supplies to explain and once he realizes he just. he sits down and puts his head in his hands bc he needs a second
mat
like joseph, when he walks in he wouldn’t rly notice it at first? he’d be humming to himself, looking at his phone when he sits next to you and finally he’d look up to see you? he jumps. this big muscular man would jump and probably yelp as he stands up and backs away like “hey you’re- thats-” and he’s stumbling over his words before rushing down the hallway to grab a towel and you’re stuck sitting there waiting for him to come back. when he finally does you just shake your head like “its,, makeup,,,” and he stops like “oh” and u both get to awkwardly stand there for a bit
hugo
when he sees it, the two of you would maintain eye contact for a good 10 seconds. and you don’t understand any of the emotions behind his eyes as he slowly pulls out his phone and you think hes going to take a picture of you but he’s about to dial 911 and you literally have to fight his phone out of his hand before you can explain what is actually happening- once he understands he still stares at you obviously shook from the whole situation but eventually hes like “it is. very impressive.”
brian
when he first sees it, he actually has to cover his mouth- the sight of blood, real or fake just makes his stomach flip and if its extreme sfx, he would most definitely have to leave and take a second before coming back in with a towel like “[dadsona], what happened? is that...?” and he’s the one who actually thinks to ask if its real. even when he finds out that its not real hes gotta step out of the room like “its very good but i cannot look at you rn ily”
craig
he’s seen a lot of gym injuries in his life, so obviously it wouldn’t make him sick to see it but he’d start worrying a ton?? but before he can leave to go get a first aid kit or smth, you tell him that its makeup and rather than just stopping like “oh ok” or sitting down all exasperated, he’d blink and be like “dude that is AWESOME??” n he’d want to watch you or even ask if you could do something on him
damien
like brian, he... wouldn’t handle the blood well. he’d see it and have to step back because lord knows he’d probably get lightheaded. you couldn’t get a word in before hes coming back with disinfectant and bandages. you’d have to actually physically wipe it away yourself like “no- damien- im okay i promise” and you show that you really are okay by showing how the sfx works and he just stares at you before laughing nervously like “oh yes i,, knew that, yes
robert
literally as SOON as he sees you, he’s already walking to grab like a bottle or a baseball bat or something to hit someone with and he looks at you like “who the fuck-” and you have to stop him before he commits arson on someones lawn trying to figure out if they hurt you n once he knows whats up he’d pause and set his stuff down like “so. you know now that i know this, we have to use your skills in a bit, right?” as if its the most fuckin obvious thing on the planet
