I will like if Jaune is Adrian's donor and Pyrrha was alive and with Jaune. Pyrrha would were an " I am not the step mom I am the mom who stepped up shirt" and take a ton of selfies in it while holding Adrian.

I love this idea, I really do, but just so you know, the reason what you're about to see is because "I'm the mom who stepped up" reminded me of my favorite character from my absolutely favorite podcast.

I present to you and all the good folks at home,

Pyrrha Nikos as Ron Stampler

=================================

Blake: So what is Pyrrha Nikos' plan for Adrian Cotta Arc?

Pyrrha: Adrian...? Oh! Adrian! Cotta! Arc!

Blake: You step-son.

Pyrrha: Yeah! I'm making him some instant oatmeal because that's what he asked for. But then Jaune pointed out that I need to put water in with the oatmeal, and I can't just put the packet in the bowl. Which, uh, is really getting into the nitty-gritty there, and I don't exactly need that extra flourish, but I'll do it anyway, because I love my step-son. Adrian. Cotta. Arc.

Blake: Pyrrha?

Pyrrha: Yeah?

Blake: Adrian hasn't been at the table for the last hour.

Pyrrha: Oh... Then I guess somebody's not getting their instant oatmeal.

Pyrrha: Arin- Adrian? Adrian? Where are you at... buddy?

Adrian: (Outside) Uuuuuuugh...

Pyrrha: Mommy? I mean, Adrian? Is that you?

Blake: You should probably head outside and check.

Pyrrha: (Sees Adrian) Hey, Adrian. I know that... I haven't been there for you. Because I wasn't married to your husband- MY husband, your dad, before you were born to your moms, who both died and I've written several pages of words, trying to emote on paper what I can't always do in person. And I'm working on that.

=================================

Pyrrha: (Knocks on the door) Uh, hi, Oscar! It's me, Pyrrha Nikos, noted supporter of men and-

Oscar: (Door swings open, Haggard) I'm... I've been trying my best to make magical weapons for you, but it's just... there's so much I have to put into just one part of each weapon and-

Pyrrha: That's great! I appreciate you and your hard work!

Oscar: ...Yeah, no, I'm very convinced by that. You sound like a real ally. What the fuck do you want?

Pyrrha: Uh, I was wondering if you could help me... again?

Oscar: ...Wow. Huge surprise. What is it?

Pyrrha: I was wondering if I could talk to that doctor you menioned. That "Doctor Not Oz"?

Oscar: (Actually surprised) Oh! Uh, yeah, sure, just come on in, get comfortable, okay?

Pyrrha: Should I close the door?

Oscar: Yeah, yeah, please close the door. I'll just grab Doctor Not Oz.

Pyrrha: Should I sit on the couch, or...

Oscar: Sit wherever you want. Just be comfortable.

Pyrrha: (Sits down)

Oscar: (Magically dyes hair white)

Oscar: (Pulls out crooked glasses)

Oscar: (Puts on buttoned, green coat)

Oscar: (Sits, Reaches out hand) Hi, it's nice to meet you. I'm Doctor Not Oz.

Pyrrha: Uh, so, my name is Pyrrha Nikos.

Oscar: Pyrrha, I am so glad to see you here. Attending therapy is very important, if not the most important first step to admitting you need help. Everything you say between us is strictly confidential. Let's talk about your mother.

Pyrrha: That's actually the biggest thing to get into right away for me, so-

Oscar: Okay, okay! That's fine! Let's talk about anything else. How are you feeling right now?

Pyrrha: Scared of my mom.

=================================

Yang: (Walks out of the woods) Oh, uh, hey, P-Money! How's, uh... How's it going?

Pyrrha: (On the verge of tears) Uh... It's going.

Yang: I was gonna help Ruby make some weapons. You want in?

Pyrrha: Sometimes, I feel like my emotions are the weapons!

Yang: Come here, Pyrrha! (Hugs, Cries)

Pyrrha: (Hugs, Cries)

Nora: (Comes out of the woods, Instantaneously hugs and cries) I don't know what we're hugging and crying about, but I am in!

Weiss: (Struts out of the woods) Hey, guys, good news! I fucked so much that I'm no longer able to be one-shotted!

Pyrrha: Holy shit...

[beamwrites]

a foray into dndads fic writing(?) got caught up with s2 a week ago and i'm. still recovering from it and today's ep ended with something that absolutely killed me dead so i wrote this... i take no responsibility for psychological damage sustained from reading

===================================

ron's voice is small, smaller than any of the boys have ever heard. even when they were kids, ron had always been a little eccentric and soft spoken, and working at d.a.d.d.i.e.s. hadn't changed that. but this...

"terry's... dead?"

none of the boys can look him in the eye, least of all grant. a burning shame engulfs him as he averts his gaze, not wanting to see the effect his actions had had on ron.

"what do you mean, he's dead?"

none of the adults wanted to explain. scary's mouth opened and closed silently, tears welling in the corners of her eyes. finally, link stepped forward.

"he was shot, sir. he... he didn't suffer. i'm so sorry."

ron fell to his knees, the gravel beneath him rustling. he was silent for a long, long time, as was everyone present. the only noise they could hear were ron's tears sliding off the tip of his nose, falling to earth, disturbing the gravel.

finally, with one last sniffle, ron dragged his sleeve across his face and stood up. and there, for the first time in all their lives, ron stampler showed immense, unabating rage.

"who did it?"

the air around him crackled with purple energy, daddy magic coalescing into a maelstrom of grief and anger. the kids held their tongues; this was grant's responsibility to own up to alone. the boys, in turn, stayed silent. they knew this intensity of magic would kill grant, no matter how benign the spell would be. and even though none of them were terribly happy about what he'd done, they still didn't want him to die.

"who the fuck killed my son?"

the boys flinch; ron never, ever swore. his quiet anger seared them more than anything they'd ever felt in their lives. sparrow sat down on the ground, burying his head in his knees, beginning to sob. nicky patted his erstwhile friend on the back, kneeling down to whisper to him.

"i asked a fucking question. someone ANSWER ME!"

the crackling of the magical storm grew louder and louder, and those closest to it started feeling ron's emotions leaking through to reality.

his fading joy at making it back to the real world. his horror and grief at the knowledge that his son had been shot dead, killed by some unknown assailant. his rage, oh his rage, at the person who had killed his son.

and above all, the desire for vengeance, to avenge his son, his beloved boy who had always been so full of life, and was now gone.

grant starts to move, but link sees him, and grabs his hand. their eyes meet, and grant can see in link's face that even his own son, the one who had just days before said that he never wanted to see him again, wanted him to keep quiet. but he just couldn't. he'd wanted an out for so long, he was so tired of living. the only things keeping him alive were his husband, his work, and above all, his son. the husband he'd been lying to for years. his work, that willy had now taken over.

his son, who never wanted to see him again.

if letting ron kill him to avenge terry jr. would make ron feel even a little bit better, it would still be better than holding on, he reasoned.

grant beckons to link, who leans in to hear him whisper in his ear.

"link... i love you. i love you so, so much, and. i'm sorry for everything i've done. tell marco i love him... and i'm sorry about this as well."

link feels vines wrap around his arms and legs, holding him in place as grant pulls away and strides towards ron. desperately, he begins to struggle against the restraints his dad put on him.

"dad! you stay right there, i'm not letting you do this. scary, taylor, get me out of these, help me-"

even as scary and taylor start hacking away at the vines with their blades, grant comes to a stop in front of ron.

he takes a deep breath, and opens his mouth.

"ron, i... it was me. i'm so sorry."

a crackling ball of purple lightning forms in ron's palms as he turns his furious gaze on grant. grant's feigned calm cracks slightly at his burning rage, but he continues.

"do whatever you will. i deserve it."

his eyes close as the ball grows and grows. just as it looks like ron is about to send it flying at his head, link rushes to put himself between grant and ron.

"wait! he didn't mean it!"

ron grits his teeth and bites out, "he didn't mean to shoot my son?"

link spreads his arms, guarding his father. "willy was controlling him, look!"

he gestures to the collar around grant's neck, and ron can see the inscription.

"where the fuck does that say for him to kill anyone?"

grant quietly replies, "i... i didn't know that was what i was going to do. i'm sorry, i really am. link, get out of the way."

link turns his head to look at his father. his hero, his idol, his role model in life. reduced to... this. he shakes his head.

"i'm not going to do that."

ron, processing the information that willy had once again taken something precious from him, finally lets out a guttural shout of grief, and turns around to hurl the ball of lightning into the trees. a gigantic bolt of energy comes crashing down from the sky, obliterating every single tree within a 10 meter radius, and setting fire to more around them.

he marches over to grant, who falls to his knees and bows his head. ron grabs him by the collar, and coldly spits, "you don't get to die that easily, grant. you're going to help me bring my son back, and then you're going to help me kill that son of a bitch. get up. get the fuck up!"

the boys flinch particularly hard; ron, in all their years of knowing him, has never looked more like willy in that moment.

✨Round 1: Match 55✨

Ron Stampler Propaganda:

While technically a rogue, ron displays many bard traits. Hes the scrungliest little man, but manages to get the hottest wife ever. But, the reason he should be here is his musical talent. He wooed an entire concert with only his semi passable music skills, thus becoming a huge celebrity. He is the bardest (in spirit).

Thancred Waters Propaganda:

Calls themselves a “grizzled old bard” and talks about writing poetry and singing love songs (also he’s my husband who I love HE DESERVES TO GET IN)

“Jodie! I didn’t see you there, uh, howdy!” Henry put a hand on his arm, jerking him out of his thoughts. He gave Jodie a terse smile. “Did you… say hi to Morg and Glenn?”

“What the fuck, Henry.”

“I know, I know, I’m sorry! Merce said she didn’t intend on inviting anyone when we first came up with our plans, I didn’t think to ask her if that changed!” Henry waved his hands as he excused himself, nearly whacking Jodie with the exaggerated motion. “If you wanna leave early, that’s totally fine, but really, I think it’ll be okay! There’s plenty of other people around to talk to.”

Jodie looked at him for a moment, then looked around at the meager grouping of eight other adults and a gaggle of young teens.

“Have you ever met Samantha’s new husband?” Henry asked, voice weaker, and Jodie turned his gaze back to him. “He’s real nice.”

day 3!! ignore the clock. ignore that its now 3am. its still the third in my heart and also my workshift ended at 12:30am

[electricxmayhem]

deranged rambling about character design + colour association under cut

consistently throughout the run of dndads odyssey i had specific colours that i associated with the dads: green for henry, red for glenn (both pretty common), blue for darryl (this came from fitting the character moodboard i made for him early on around a Chelsea football jersey) and purple for ron (this came later after it became clear that his dad was the leader of the purple robes)

these came through in clothes, drawing backgrounds, and mostly just lived in my brain and probably nobody even noticed

(i did apply those colours one-to-one onto their atmod counterparts when i drew them first)

for the moms, most of them shared the same colour association as their husband, except for mercedes who i associated with warm yellow

then for the kids, it started to get muddled because red was for both nick and terry, and green was for the twins and grant. (and then nick changed to purple when he became a demon, because purple is just the colour of any magic in that world to my brain, even though it doesn’t really make sense)

the reason i’m thinking of this is because as i’ve designed the new kids, the same colours are all still there. scary still has the stampler purple association, and link is blue, but this time normal is red and taylor is green.

i realise none of this is relevant or makes ANY sense which is why i put it under the cut, but it’s kinda like that ‘is maths/science/etc blue or red or green’ concept and i wanted to say it

[thefandomcassandra]

How about some Ron Stampler? And/or Lark and Sparrow!

:0!! My strange boy! And my beautiful twins! Love!!! (Considering previous convos that we had about both Lark And Sparrow as well as Ron, prepare for sad.)

---

She loves him in a way she can't articulate.

She loves that one day he was trying to take all the groceries inside in one trip and she offered her hand as assistance, but he shifted the groceries and held her hand instead.

She loves that he sleeps in the fetal position at night so she has to curl around him like a croissant, but even in the throes of his worst night terrors, he never once has hurt her in his sleep.

She loves that sometimes he gets absorbed in something he's doing and starts humming, which becomes singing, and soon he's quietly performing to an audience of one, and he is never more open than when he does that.

She loves that he says her name like it's something holy, to be praised and worshipped, and that he was the first boyfriend she had after her husband passed who didn't shy away from Terry Jr, even if he doesn't know how to handle him.

She loves that he doesn't know how to take care of himself most days but he still tries to take care of her, broken dishes and burnt food notwithstanding.

She loves that sometimes he can't find the words for how he feels so he stumbles around blindly looking for it, only to find something to the left and behind, and settles like he always does with so many things, but she knows what he wanted and hears him.

She loves him in a way she can't articulate.

Lark does not like that Sparrow is different. It's not right. They've always been Lark And Sparrow, unstoppable duo, but Sparrow spends a little bit of time with dad in this weird world and suddenly it's not Lark And Sparrow, but Lark and also Sparrow. It fills him with a weird feeling that he ain't certain he likes. It's like...when you bite your tongue and it doesn't hurt so much as it's embarrassing that your tongue got in the way of food or talking and then you sit there with tears in your eyes all mad about it and —

Lark does not like not being Lark And Sparrow. He tries to keep being Lark And Sparrow when they're taken but it's hard. They fight a lot. The purple robes don't fix them up, so the bruising has to fade first, as do the teeth marks.

Then Nick winds up with them, angry and calling his dad and everyone else's dads "narcs" and "fucking dumb" and Lark wants to wrestle and prod and poke like they do when they are Lark And Sparrow, but Sparrow asks if everyone is okay. If Nick is okay. If he needs to take a moment. Nick says no. Lark offers that they stab one of the purple robes because they remind him of things he hates and he has a knife and also Sparrow keeps trying to be nice and pacifist. Nick smiles and joins in and it's better but...

His mouth hurts and his eyes water and he's not Lark And Sparrow and it sucks.

(He doesn't like thinking about the purple robes and the last time they weren't Lark And Sparrow and how he wants to curl into a ball and scream, but like hell he's going down without a fight because his fingers buzz with energy and he wants to feel something.)

When Terry Jr arrives, scrubbing tears from his face, they aren't Lark And Sparrow either. Lark finds his yelling doesn't help and Nick is pretending things are fine but he's probing about his dad and Sparrow is asking if Terry Jr needs to take a bit and he does and he cries and it makes Lark's stomach churn. So Lark can't be Lark And Sparrow but Sparrow is making Terry Jr feel good and his fists clench because is he not good? Is he not a good kid? When did being good matter to him?

(When he stopped being Lark And Sparrow.)

Grant is covered in blood, distant, and silent. Lark can't help because they're not Lark And Sparrow. Sparrow can't help because he won't talk. Nick joking doesn't help him open up. Terry Jr being patient doesn't help either. None of them can help Grant but suddenly they have all three purple robes there and all of them hate that. It sucks. If they were Lark And Sparrow, they might have stood a chance, but they're Lark and Sparrow and that's not enough.

(Bitter spit in his mouth and tears and biting his tongue, he hate hate hates not being Lark And Sparrow but he can't say why in a way that matters, that people understand and, for the first time in a long time, he's very scared.)

(He wants his dad.)

Ron killing Willy or Autumn killing Barry

ooooohhhh okay this one stumped me for a long time, but i do have an answer, and it’s absolutely gotta be Autumn killing Barry.

[under a cut bc i apparently had A Lot Of Feelings abt this] 

because, ok. ron absolutely fucking deserves to kill willy, and willy absolutely deserves to get killed, but in terms of a satisfying narrative conclusion, i don’t think this scenario is right for ron. 

bc like, at the end of the day, ron stampler is no killer. like, yes, he has killed in the forgotten reams when necessary (and when he wanted to try on gartok’s pretty bracelet,) but in general, he is not a killer. and that seems to be one of the many things that willy finds disappointing about him. like, the first actual, personal story we heard ron tell about his father was that he got pissed off when ron couldn’t gut a fish. willy resents so much that ron is not as cruel or ruthless as he is. willy was fucking killing cats in his school years and he sees the fact that ron wasn’t as weakness. you know willy wishes he had a son as fucked up and sadistic as he is, and it drives him crazy that ron is, by some miracle, as soft and kind and good as he ended up being. 

so for ron to kill willy, i think, in a way, would be giving willy what he wants. he would die with the knowledge that his son is capable of being a killer, just like him, and i don’t want him to have that modicum of satisfaction, even in death. and please don’t take this as a “hero shouldn’t kill the villian bc then he’s just as bad” thing, bc honestly i’m sick of that trope. it’s more a “hero killing the villian would at some level make villain happy and he doesn’t fucking deserve to feel happy.” if that makes sense.  

my personal best-case scenario for ron, is that he will realize that willy does not and has never loved him, understand that that piece of shit does not deserve the title of father, and that that understanding and choice will render willy completely powerless, sapped of daddy magic forever. existing in that weakened state is good enough, but existing in that helpless, powerless state  because ron has empowered himself without changing himself is a much more rewarding resolution imo than one that makes ron kill somebody, even a miserable piece of shit like willy.

(even in this situation, though, i would fully want someone else to finish that fucker off, because even though i don’t necessarily want ron to do it, i do want him to die slowly and painfully) 

on the other hand, for autumn, it’s like. well first of all, she’s already one hundo percent down to kill barry, and has been for literal years, and she should be able to be the one to fucking do it, bc fuck that guy fr. she’s also had to suffer under his bullshit for way longer than anyone else, and has been trapped in oakvale for god knows how long having to deal with his constant emotional abuse. that and that alone absolutely qualifies her to be the one who kills him. 

but on a deeper level than that, i think it would also be a good chance for her to symbolically protect henry. because like, it’s clear that the whole dynamic between them is complicated af, but at the end of the day, as much as she may have loved henry and wanted to protect him from barry... the fact is, she didn’t really do that. she withdrew, and she distanced herself to protect herself - which is fully and absolutely understandable - but in the process she also distanced herself from her son, who needed her. and that’s something that has continued even up to their most recent encounter. 

like, even in the interaction we saw, henry knows she is not going to protect him, as much as he might want her to. he keeps saying it, i think he says it like three times in that one scene, “i’m going to fix this. i’m going to make it better.” and that is a burden he never should have had to bear (no pun intended). but he is taking that on, because it’s clear no one else is going to. 

and autumn encourages that. she puts that on him, she tells him that he has to kill barry, he has to put a stop to the fucking blood curse. and even though i empathize so much with her, that is just not fair. especially since, like... she knows her son. no matter how much he’s changed since he had to rebuild his life from the ground up, she has to know, at least on some level, what killing his father would do to him.

like, fucking hell. henry’s entire identity and sense of self have already been so fucking shattered in such a short time, having to kill his dad? even though he absolutely fucking deserves it, even though he’s an abusive piece of shit who has hurt and manipulated so many people, you know having to be the one to do it would fucking destroy henry. and i feel like autumn has to know that, at least a little bit, but she asked him to do it anyways, and it just breaks my fucking heart. 

so like, essentially, a scenario in which henry is able to kill barry but is struggling with that choice and how it would impact him and the monster that he’s always feared and now knows for sure is part of him... and then ultimately being spared that choice bc autumn comes in from fucking downtown and ices her shithead husband in as painful a manner as possible? that would honestly work the best narratively for me, because

a) she already wants to do it

b) she fully deserves to do it, and

c) doing it would be a much-needed act of protection towards her son whomst has already been having a rough fucken day and doesn’t really need this cherry on top of the trauma sundae. 

tl;dr - autumn could, should, and must kill barry 

[spelviin]

ok i’m like 99% sure the moms are not the purple robes

i went back and listened to ep 15/16 when they first meet the three of them, and it just doesn’t add up. 

like basically the only thing they have in common is the descriptors “tall and thin” and “short and rotund/stocky” which like... first of all, there’s only so many ways to differentiate characters while concealing their faces/identities, and describing build is pretty much it, so it makes sense that there would be some overlap in descriptors even among different sets of characters. there’s also the fact that the third purple robe is never described as being “curvy” while i’m pretty sure anthony describes mercedes as such like fifty-seven times. 

there’s also the fact that anthony has only ever referred to the purple robes as guys, men, he/him, etc, while he started using she/her for the mummies pretty much immediately. he doesn’t seem the type to deliberately obfuscate pronouns to throw off the audience, so unless he went through an entire year of the podcast before deciding the identities of the main bad guys of the campaign, it just doesn’t track for me. 

and lastly... i just don’t see any overlap there, personality-wise. i know there’s been a lot of talk about the “something” that had been siphoned off the moms during their ten-year fall being their kindness or their love or their tolerance for their husbands’ bullshit or whatever, but even so... i just can’t see them saying the things that the purple robes say to the dads, not even on their worst days. like, that “overly feminine bullshit” barb that one of the purple robes pulled on ron when terry jr was taken? in what universe would any of the wives, even some weird warped evil version, say something like that? it’s just not in character.

you know who it is in character for, though? 

willy fucking stampler.

i dunno, it just makes a lot more sense to me that the purple robes are the dads’ own fathers than some weird warped versions of their wives that are so far removed from the personalities we know that they’re practically different characters. 

we already know willy is an abusive misogynist prick who kills cats. we already know daddy oak is an asshole who believes in corporal punishment and set such a terrible example for his own son that he’s now terrified of expressing anger towards his kids for fear of ending up “like him”. frank is... a bit of a wild card, but i think it’s safe to say that the dude had some obsession with being “the perfect father” (likely since rob disappeared and he never had a dad of his own so he put a lot of pressure on himself with darryl) and that obsession could lead to extreme disappointment in darryl for not being, as scam likely put it, as good a dad as he had been. 

and daddy close remains a mystery because freddie, bless his soul, is playing glenn’s backstory sooooo close to the chest in the interest of letting things come out organically. which i hella respect but at the same time it’s like. tell me everything, i wanna know all about the close family!!!!!! but i digress.

point is, i just think the dads’ dads suit the descriptions we’ve had so far and the attitudes/motivations of the purple robes way more than their wives do. i could be wrong, and this could be me just being married to my pet theory, but idk... it just makes the most sense considering what we know so far.
