Tagged by: No one! This is the maiden voyage of this quiz! :D

What did you name your Dadsona? (Bonus points for a pic):

Wesley Sodom! A name I did not consider the in-game repercussions of! I AM SO SORRY, AMANDA.

Is your Dadsona based off of you, or are they an OC?: They are as close a simulacrum of myself as I could make with the Build-A-Dad.

What percentage would you say the Dadsona is similar to your IRL personality?: Listen, the devs did a real good job crafting an Everyman for their intended demographic. They got us pegged.

In my case, the Dadsona is 100% me in his sense of humor, social anxiety, willingness-to-try-stuff, napping, reclusive coffee drinking, cheese-lovingness, and insightfulness. He is 0% me in his taste in food, music, and hobbies. I am Full Millennial, while the Dadsona is written as being a decade or two older than me. I understand memes. I have niche interests. I refuse to eat pickles. I don’t know what ska is.

Hottest Dad: The ones that grabbed me by the pants first were Robert (literally), Damien, and Joseph. But they’re all fucking gorgeous, who am I kidding.

Favorite Dad to date: My sweet boy, my perfect goth husband.

A Dad you thought you wouldn’t like / were indifferent to but ended up loving: At first I was kind of iffy on Hugo, because I thought “wow he’s teaching my daughter? that’s a little close to home” and also because he seemed... i dunno, just like a cool teacher but not like someone I’d want to date? I WAS WRONG. SWEET JESUS I WAS WRONG. HE HAD ME FROM THE MOMENT HE STARED WISTFULLY AT A FISH. WRESTLE ME, TEACHER DADDY. TALK TOLKIEN TRIVIA TO ME, YOU ANIMAL.

A Dad you thought you’d love but ended up not liking / being indifferent to: I thought I was going to bone down so hard on Robert, but I wound up feeling really out of character dating him? I think if it were me driving and not Dadsona, I’d want to bypass the macho fronting and cut right to the part where we get vulnerable and talk about behavioral problems-- but obviously that’s not how Robert rolls, or he would have opened up before now.

I just found the bar-cruising and machismo a little tedious-- as I do in real life! Even though I really enjoyed Robert’s arc overall and the payoff at the end was really satisfying, I think I would have preferred to find a way to get to know him on my own terms, and relate to him in a way that was more genuine. It was uncomfortable for me to pretend to be the kind of guy he could relate to in order to get past his barriers. That said, the off-the-cuff adventures were hilarious, and gosh is Bad Dad just so, so hot. As was his smokin’ lesbian daughter, go figure.

--On a related note, I really resent the way they wrote Brian’s arc! They barely gave him a chance to be romantic or sexy at all, since your stupid Dadsona is on his rival game the whole time. I love Brian, and I historically love guys like Brian, and it was frustrating to have all the dates downplay the actual... you know, dating. JUST LET ME CLIMB BEAR MOUNTAIN. WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS. I HAVE NEEDS.

A Dad that surprised you: Bro!! Craig! I ended up sympathizing with him a lot more than I thought I would, considering how the venn diagram of our interests are just two separate circles that want nothing to do with each other. I thought his arc was really touching and he was genuinely a pleasant, inspiring guy.

A moment that made you blush: ............ so........ date 3 with Joseph made me steam up like a boiled tomato. As did date 3 with Robert. It may have been a mistake to use my real name for Dadsona, but I’m not sorry.

Favorite Date: All of Damien’s dates. It’s hard to describe how nice they were for me? First off, I have nothing but admiration for anyone with that kind of single-minded dedication to their chosen aesthetic (and an appreciation for authentic Victoriana). But more importantly, every time he explains something he’s passionate about, he does it in a way that’s insightful and self-aware, and it’s shared with you, not held over you. I found it very soothing.

He’s one of the Dads who teaches the Dadsona something important and helps him come to terms with something difficult, in this case, death and acceptance of mortality; this is also something I chew on a lot in the IRL, so the emotional connection felt very real. I’m also NB trans, as was my Dadsona, so there was this unspoken thread of understanding in the relationship. The connection wasn’t written into the game, it was just allowed to happen by letting you play a trans character. It was genuinely therapeutic.

.also he’s just so sweet, and beautiful, and his face is perfect and I love his house and I love his taxidermy and his wardrobe and his garden and his handwriting and the way his hair smells an d cape a n d his voice and his punk ass kid who sold me oregano....

These dates were definitely the most romantic for me, as in I, the real Wesley, felt romanced, giddy, and lightheaded. It was also one of the many times during my playthrough I really felt how powerful and different it was to both play as a trans character and interact with a trans character. Every time one of the Dads said something charming to my namesake, expressed interest in them, flirted with them, etc., I had a big ol’ tingly catharsis. Like, turns out it’s actually kinda profound to feel desired and welcome as a trans person. And the dates with Damien were the best of those moments. He’s handsome and suave and polite and a picture-perfect goth vampire prince™ and a good dad-- he’s all these things and he trans, and you’re trans, and he likes you, and you like him, and it’s.... it’s a good feeling, guys, I’m genuinely feeling touched and enriched by this goofy dating sim.

Were the dates easy for you or did they seem really difficult? Which ones?: Mat’s dates annoyed the hell out of me!! A lot of the key, points-earning answers seemed totally arbitrary, and the two mini games in his arc were brutal (and one wasn’t explained at all??). I couldn’t get the final S ranking for the life of me. It was just frustrating because he seemed like a character we could relate to a lot as Dadsona, having also lost a spouse. Mat’s arc also seemed shorter than the others, which is weird because he was one of the more withdrawn characters who needed a lot of time and personal space to get to know. :\ I wish more of the questions had been about learning his likes and dislikes, and less about “picking the funniest ska pun”.

...I thought I would hate Brian’s mini games but honestly I crushed all of them, so. >:3

Damien’s dates were the easiest for me because that’s playing my home court.

Did you die and how: I refused to stop bellyflopping

Which kids were your favorites?: :’D Aaallll of them but especially my beautiful daughter Amanda, Daisy-Who-Was-Me, Christie, Lucien, and Carmensita, who was the cutest.

Your favorite non-Dad character: Obviously Wine Mom, but also fond of Pablo and THE DRAGON.

What would you consider a ‘happily ever after’ ending for Dadsona and the cul-de-sac residents?: We form an Ambiguously Queer Polyamorous Love-Commune, where everyone works out their shit via the Dadsona’s Healing Dick Therapy. They all get dogs and raise the kids together. I marry Damien, and get a job working with Brian customizing decks, and also volunteer at the animal shelter.
