Dads meeting a smart Dadsona? When I mean smart, I mean he's like the love child of Einstein and Hawking? (Btw, I love your blog!)

Hugo had seen the man before, but not like this. He had seen him on blogs and news channels, magazine covers and in the New York Times. He had seen the man alongside headlines of “Artificial Intelligence Finally Mastered?” and “Step away, Siri. This new AI is for REAL!” The man had created artificial intelligence more realistic than the average human. Or, at least, the teenage ones Hugo dealt with on a daily basis. But here, at a parent teacher conference, the man stood before him with a cheeky grin and these eyes that you could just tell were looking for details. Amanda gave Hugo a knowing look, her arms crossed and her lips pursed. “So, I only have a few concerns with Amanda. Thus far her work has been excellent,” Hugo paused to give the teenage girl his signature ‘but’ look, “When she decides to turn it in. She has been tardy a few times and her phone has proven to be the reason I’ve enforced our no phone rule in my classroom for the first time in five years.” The man nodded and played with his thumbs in his lap, stealing glances at Amanda as she giggled and shrugged along with the conversation. “Amanda,” the man spoke up. “How about you go get the car started. I’ll run everything by you on our way to your appointment.”Hugo watched amazed as Amanda rose from her seat and basically skipped out of the room.“Mister-““Dadsona. Please.”The teacher sighed.“Dadsona. There’s also a small issue with-“ The man cut him off again.“Could I get your number?”Hugo felt flushed. His cheeks went hot and he could feel the heat radiating from his tanned skin.“My… I’m sorry?”“Your number. By the look you gave me when I walked in, you have a decent idea of who I am. However, I don’t think that’s fair. If you know about me, I would like to know a tad more about you.”“I’m really just a teacher, Dadsona.”He gave Hugo a look. One that told him he would be handing over his number whether logic applied or not.“Something tells me you’re much more than that.”Hugo felt a weight on his hand and looked down to find Dadsona’s phone pressed into his palm. He took it with hesitant fingers.

He got a call exactly two hours later and soon enough, he had plans every night for the rest of the week.

on dream daddy: a dad dating simulator, re: criticisms

as a nonbinary lesbian, i just have to say that i am so disappointed at how other sapphic people on tumblr are reacting to ddadds. 

(quick disclaimer: i haven't played the game. i was going to buy it but my laptop only has two gb of ram and ddadds requires four. however, my friend @nbnightwing, does have the game and is doing every ending he can get (he's done them all but hugo and craig) and has been sending me screenshots as he plays because he knows how much i wanted to play. i've also watched several playthroughs on youtube, including craig's entire storyline. so i know the game pretty well). 

i'm gonna be frank: before the game i was very nervous about it. i wasn't sure if it would be good representation of achillean people and their relationships. i was worried that it was just going to be a joke, not to mention the fact that i don’t trust the game grumps. but then it came out. then i saw how the game actually plays through. so here we go. 

first things first. while the game grumps are genuinely fucked up, this is not their game. they voice some of the characters (meaning every now and then they grunt or say a word or two) and they produced it. so torrenting the game because you don’t want the game grumps to have your money is useless. you’re just denying the actual creators money. 

now that i’ve addressed that, let’s move on to the other two big criticisms. 

the cult ending everyone is so up-in-arms about is non-canonical. that means it doesn’t actually happen in the game. if it ends up being a dlc, cool because that sounds like an interesting storyline. if not, oh well! either way, that ending wouldn’t be homophobic. if joseph was the only gay man and shown to be a cult leader? that would be homophobic. but he’s one out of eight gay men in the show (including the playable character) and you know what? gay men can be anything straight men can - including evil cult leaders. 

lastly, the game isn’t misogynistic. the focus is, of course, on men because it’s a game about gay men. however, amanda is easily one of the main characters being the playable character’s daughter and there is so much character development for her in the game. mary is shown to be a caring woman stuck in a loveless relationship who has resorted to alcohol - she’s not a great mom, but she is a good character. of the other dads’ children, six of them are girls (and one of them is canonically sapphic and has a girlfriend! you only meet her if you play her dad’s run though). 

now that i’ve gotten through the two biggest reasons why people are hating on the game, i have one last thing to say. 

this game isn’t ours. this game isn’t for wlw. we can buy it, we can play it, we can enjoy and make content for it, but we can’t claim it. this is a game about mlm (or as @nbnightwing says, dld - dad loving dads), for mlm. let them play it and enjoy it without your endless criticisms. let them have fun with some of the little positive representation they get. 

look, i get it. we all need to be critical consumers of media and you can enjoy something and still be critical about it. however, claiming the game is homophobic and misogynistic, when you don’t actually know much about the game? is irresponsible. grow up and let achillean people have something that belongs to them without feeling the need to constantly hate on it.

How about the dads' meeting a dadsona who is heterochromatic.

Matt traced a finger down the man’s cheek, his eyes pacing from the blue eye to the green eye rapidly. Dadsona huffed and pushed the other man’s hand away, jostling his head around to let his hair fall over the green eye once again.“I get it, alright? They’re different colors. It doesn’t mean anything. I’m not diseased or sick, I-“Matt grabbed Dadsona’s shoulders and pulled him into a hard kiss, running his hand through his long hair and displacing the hair once again.“Is that what you think? Why you wear your hair like that?”Dadsona looked away and shrugged timidly. “Dadsona… you’re beautiful. In every way. Your eyes are… they’re extraordinary. They’re unique. They’re… they’re you.”Both colored eyes squinted as he snickered and lightly shoved Matt away by his chest. “You’re just saying that to get in my pants.”Matt joined in the laughter.“Well? Is it working?”Both men chuckled harder and held each other close as they exchanged witty remarks and playful insults. Matt stared into Dadsona’s eyes once again. “I like seeing you. All of you.”Dadsona blinked a few times and they went along their night normally.In the morning, Dadsona wasn’t in bed. Matt wandered around the apartment and even did some light stalking, but it was a complete mystery as to where the man had gone before the door opened and he walked in with a fresh new haircut. Short and out of his eyes. Both men smiled.———————————————Hey guys! Daddy Thomas here. I’m sorry that this wasn’t my best writing. I felt I needed to get content out soon, but as I’m writing this I’m suffering a terrible, sharp pained stomach(?) ache and a lot of time doubled over my porcelain throne. Sorry if that’s too much information, I just don’t care enough about boundaries right now. Anyway. Thanks for reading my schpeel and I’m sorry again for my subpar efforts.With love,Daddy Thomas

Daddy Thomas felt he should slap on a face today! What other dads do you think would rock some contour?
