The Dream Daddy Fandom
Expectation: People enjoying the game about being a gay/trans/bi dad and dating other dads that are poc and trans. Having a great relationship with your daughter. Enjoying all the dads different personalities. And enjoy the awesome dad puns
Reality: People complaing it's not gay enough, and no sex scenes. Saying the game isn't worth buying/being anti-dream daddy. Saying it's homophobic because it has a cult ending that's not even offically in the game. People wanting a female version of the game. People bashing the game because game grumps was apart of it. People bashing other people's fanart and telling them to kill themselves. Basically being the worst fandom ever
-sits at conference table in front of admin- okay so, how about...Witch Dadsona. Like an actual practicing witch who makes healing cordials, and has a huge altar to practice spells on with crystals scattered around the house and lots and lots of plants!
[*Tries his best to answer this nicely*][ (They) refers to Dadsona ]
Witch Dadsona:
First things first, /everyone/ in the Cul-de-sac is completely amazed at their garden; how can there be a front yard so well kept? So beautiful, mesmerising, and overall almost as good as Damien’s?
[These next will be the Dads in Dadsona’s house /not/ knowing they’re a witch. Do tell me if you’d like me to add reactions with them knowing.]
❤️Robert: Gardens? Yards? Not his thing. But he must admit, (they) have some impressive stuff inside (their) house. From crystals and some blades, to badass, old looking books, Robert almost feels like he’s in the house of someone who’d be a part of a paranormal book.
🧡Hugo: He is overall amazed by how many books (they) have. At first is kind of confused as to why he can’t touch them or read them, but eventually understands.After all, he wouldn’t let someone new enter his /special room/ either.
💛Joseph: Even though the decoration both in and out of the house are quite nice and aesthetic, he can’t help but feel uneasy about some of the things he sees.It just doesn’t feel right.
💚Brian: There’s now ay this person will have a better garden than him- plants inside the house too? AND those are well-kept as well?Not to mention the amazing amount of stones and crystals inside the place- does it mean something? Should he ask Daisy?
💙Craig: His Bro always had a huge thing for having endless crystals and tiny plants around their dorm back in college. He must admit he was quite impressed at how big this “collection” had gotten- and “at least you keep them in order now, Bro.”
💜 Mat: Even though it doesn’t fit his main aesthetic, he must admit the things (they) have laying around are quite charming.Even though he prefers having less, smaller plants-mostly flowers, he certainly appreciates the look of certain rocks and crystals.
🖤 Damien: Two words- mixed feelings. Those books look so old and worn, they could certainly fit in in his very own library! It was impressive how many things in the house looked genuinely old.Kind of like Matt, Damien is more of a flowers man; but he was still impressed at how there could be someone who went further than Damien when it came to taking care of plants and gardens.
💝 Dadsona: Overall does their best to keep charms and endless sheets of papers with notes or spells hidden whenever someone comes around.If it slips, they can always say it’s a random search or (If with Amanda) one of their daughter’s many homeworks.
How would the dads react to a Dadsona who has significant burn scars all over their body?
[(They) refers to Dadsona]
Since all of the dads are pretty sweet, rational, caring, and mostly functioning adults I’m pretty sure it would be similar with all of them.
If they see them accidentally, meaning (they) moved in a way that showed some, they will be worried, but will be prudent enough to not ask right away.
If (they) comfortably show them around, the dads would take the same method, while also advising their children not to mention them.
- In both scenarios, they wait for (them) to be the one to tell them when (they) feel comfortable enough.- if too much time passes, the Dads will eventually worry enough to carefully ask, and immediately drop the topic if it makes (them) uncomfortable.
Headcanons based in the cul-de-sac arrangement/order? (from Mary's map) like; dadsona is between Joseph and Mat. What could happen with them related to their houses being adjacent
[(They) Refers to Dadsona]
Mild chaos.
If anything, (they) are glad Mat has such a nice music taste. He tends to listen to it sliiightly too loud now and then, but (they) don’t really mind. Every now and then there’s little flowers, knots and ribbons of flowers, and flower crowns made by Carmensita hanging on the fence; they’re pretty, so nothing to complain about.
Mat sings in the shower but shhh… don’t tell him (they) know.
(They) can also hear the chaos caused by Joseph’s kids every now and then, so that’s a thing.
(They) will never forget the time it was like, what, midnight? And (they) went to the backyard to retrieve something. The scream (they) had to hold back when seeing the twins peeking over the fence was barely held- (they) make sure to turn on all the backyard lights at night if (they) go out there.
Cryptid/Monster dadsona? Like the dads finding out that dadsona is actually a werewolf or something. Your choice of monster!
[ (They) refers to Dadsona ]
Let’s go for Werewolf, with positive reactions.
Werewolf Dadsona:
Dad always found strange how at times (they) seemed to be the person with the most energy EVER- running around, doing a bunch of chores, spending time with his kids- And other days (they) were just… there. As if (they) were barely aware that (they) existed, looking tired, down, overall a quiet mess that looks like (they) haven’t slept a century.
Around the cul-de-sac there’s been mild chaos; some mornings there’s things around, scratch marks on some fences, some yards. (Their) house always seems to be the most affected.
Things clear themselves the night (they) stay at /Dad’s/ house. (Their) eyes had gone wide when the forecast came up on the news.Slightly cloudy, with a chance of rain, in this beautiful full moon night.The way (their) face changed. The way (they) ran out of /Dad’s/ house stuttering and letting out incoherent sentences. Dad was hurt at first, he had no idea of why you had left in such a rush.That is until he heard a noise on his backyard in the middle of the night while watching a movie.
He went out there only to see an immense animal, the most terrifying dog he had seen- at least until said animal was turning and twisting, panting, whining as it turned smaller, and smaller, and a man was on its place. A heartbreaking sight of a man full of scratches, soaking wet under this rain, at the verge of tears.
❤️Robert: At first his instincts had gone wild- that had definitely been a WOLF on his backyard and he was ready to fucking do what was necessary, until it turned out to be (them). He stood there in silence for a moment. Taking a bit too long realising (they) were a werewolf.The cold rain made him snap out of it and rush out to help (them) asking a bit too many questions.
🧡Hugo: He doesn’t even take time thinking, he’s immediately rushing to help (them).(They) are shaking badly and he is worried as hell. Questions will come later.
💛Joseph: Was he scared? Yes. Very. But that didn’t stop his dad-instincts from kicking in.He rushed (them) inside and immediately started looking at the scratches, doing his best to stay calm.It was a heartbreaking sight, and he could barely hold back from crying when seeing (them) cry.
💚Brian: (They) were a mess and so was he. He was nervously going around the house looking for things to heal (them).His questions were more about (their) health than about what he just saw.
💜 Mat: Anxiety got the best of him and he fainted before (they) could be back to human.He woke up in the living room, (they) were a total, dripping, crying mess.Mat immediately started stuttering about the wolf outside, and forced himself to calm down and help once he heard the words “it was me.”
🖤 Damien: He was livid. Immensely worried. Never had he ran so quickly for something, and there he was, dragging (them) inside in less than a minute.He was part of the crew that were more worried about (their) current state rather than the fact that (they) were just a wolf.—————💙 Craig: It happened in college. It was a pretty damn similar situation. He was coming back from a party from which (they) had fled. It was outside the dorms where he (saw) them and couldn’t blame it on the alcohol once it was his Bro the one dragging (themselves) around looking defeated.He memorised the lunar cycle after that.
