I'm gonna be honest the dndads fandom has been really tiring lately.

I feel like it's been this way since s2 really began running its course. I can totally understand that a lot of people like it and I'm not gonna shit on them, but for me it genuinely is something I struggle to listen to. I genuinely had to stop listening to s2 and start listening to s1 all over again around episode 35-ish because I found myself so bored. I mean hell, I'm caught back up to s2 ep16 right now and it took me probably at minimum 2 weeks to finish ep 15 because I would turn it off when I realized I wasn't paying attention.

I feel like my experience in dndads fandom has reflected that and so has the podcast.

The characters overall to me also feel like they're significantly flatter than s1 and also aren't nearly as compelling. I feel like they all had moments of growth in the first season that felt natural, whereas they feel significantly more forced this season. Taylor had also had next to no growth from all of the episodes I've heard which I find quite frustrating as someone who enjoys roleplay heavy character driven dnd games when I play and DM myself.

I feel like the experience overall finds me like... struggling to find a place in the dndads fandom at this point because we all just seem somewhat tired and drawn out, the same way Anthony feels. I hope they do a different premise altogether for their next game tbh because the vibe of this one I think has kinda brought down the energy of the entire podcast. Once I finish s2 once idk if I'll relisten again at all.

I rly hope you’re talking abt Ed and Stede in that untagged post bc I’d like to not be alone but even if you’re not I’m on anon and I’d like to say I’m tired of being told (by the show, not by fans) to like Stede and the ship when it just doesn’t feel like there’s any actual textual reason. And after The Event it just feels kinda sick and sad and they didn’t go slow like Ed wanted and he was over Iz so fast and it was all played for jokes and I really want to enjoy it but I honestly don’t. Also sorry for weird wording I’m trying to avoid The Search Function

i was, yeah (tagging this with #s2 negativity if anyone needs to mute).

it makes me really upset because i feel like gb (both as a ship and as individual characters) got shafted so brutally at the end of the season that it just. did nuclear scorching damage to everything around them. they didn't grow and learn together, they barely flirted together, they didn't find a satisfactory way to compromise on their dreams and goals together... but the text is acting like all that happened. the dissonance makes me feel crazy. like you said, the show's telling us all these things happened but i feel like it's not matching up with anything i personally saw. ugh.

and that's not even touching the ℹ️zzy of it all! i still feel so hollow and miserable still about how it ended. it sucks. i wish so badly i liked it and found it satisfying but it's just... fallow.

#s2 negativity #i have gone to great lengths not to let this show up in character tags please do not be mad at me!!!#i wish i wasn't posting this either!!!

I know the feeling like ultimately the main pairing also got either such bad weak writing or NO writing this season that I cant bring myself to like them anymore? Not as characters or as a couple. It's been ruining fic for me too!! I hate it!!! I cant buy that they have good intentions, or the capacity for self reflection needed to grow, or the push through to stick to a change, or that they care about other people beyond surface level at all anymore, and that was the whole point for me

right.... i'm trying to approach this the same way i look at other characters i've loved who were done dirty by writers and reframe their actions as Poor Writing Choices versus actual bad characters because i need that life preserver to have any hope of enjoying the fandom again. but it feels extremely bad! so many bizarre and mean choices with the writing this season just warped my view of the characters and the tone of the show. i share your misery. i just don't understand what they were going for.

i feel like Matt and Freddie have taken a dnd-player approach to the season 2 campaign while Beth Anthony and will have a writer approach. There’s nothing wrong with either approach imo but my issue is that will’s the only one out of the writers that is using that approach successfully to make normal a compelling character while a lot of stuff Anthony and Beth have tried to do with scary has fallen flat. Thats not to say scary is bad or Anthony’s not been doing a great job as dm, but will’s the one that stands out as truly creating a compelling and emotionally meaningful arc for his character.

i feel like the s2 kids aren’t appreciative enough of their parents who aren’t in DADDIES. linc keeps saying his dad sucks but like marko has done nothing to deserve that. rebecca in episode 1 says “im proud of you teeney” which he pretty much pushes off in favor of sparrow being harsh. scary just doesn’t talk abt her mom much and is very clear that its terry who sucks and taylor’s taylor and loves his mom and obv doesn’t count. tbh it might just be the players forgetting that they have more parents but idk it irks me

i love hearing the dndads cast laugh and have fun, but the family guy jokes aren't really my thing. like, at all.

this isn't meant to be negative at all, but i miss season 1 sooososo much

i genuinely just enjoyed the pcs a lot more, and if you asked me to, i could explain all the arcs in great detail, while in season 2 its like i turn on the new episode and immediately dissociate

obviously the cast is great as always, and this is no fault of theirs, but i just dont LOVE any of the new pcs (or npcs for that matter (sorry hermie)), and imo the best part of s2 might as well have been when Erin O'Neil/Jodie were reintroduced
