The Roseph tag is full of beautiful* things and it makes me so happy. (*pls note rje's definition of beautiful may be synonymous with horrific, tragic, angsty and fucked up)
I'm watching markiplier's playing of this game and quickly falling for all these dads. they're all so good
(mat sits up in the middle of the night and writes down "fleetwood mac n cheese" in a notebook, in the morning he remembers he runs a coffee place and the logistics of adding mac to the menu would be too much, no one will ever know this beautiful portmanteau but him)
Mat invites Dadsona over, cooks him dinner. He places it on the table... "So this is something I just came up with, I hope you like it. It's Fleetwood Mac and Cheese." Dadsona high-fives him and also it's delicious and he loves it.
Note to self: riff off @a tiny mushroom's idea and work in an entire conversation using lyrics from Gold Dust Woman except it's about Mac n cheese (Gold Dust Woman is a Fleetwood Mac song)
Someone on the Dream Daddy reddit compiled a list of what scores for each dad the Dadbook answers give you, and I'm living for Mat and Robert both scoring you high if you pick the "I'm emotionally compromised and comfortable admitting it" answers.
"Comfortable with crying" Robert loves it and Joseph hates it. What a great contrast in their ways of putting up fronts.
Spoiler: Craig's route Hot sporty dad: owo Hot sporty dad with destructive tendencies and self worth issues: OwO Craig, my beautiful marinara meatball, get some therapy
an interpretation of the data-mined 'cult ending' elements that works pretty darn well Spoiler: images
I got so many more of the Jimmy Buffet references than my friends. then again they probably listened to less as children, given that the people I was comparing to were 1 raised-a-strict-Christians-no-music-other-than-the-Lord's and 1 ethnically-Jewish-Russian-immigrant.
Ahh, this youtuber has made a bunch of Dream Daddy vine mashups and they are HILARIOUS https://www.youtube.com/user/IntersectionOfSatan (lol @ the name) They seem to be spoiler-free too just related to the dad's personalities and vine humor.
Spoiler: minor detail of robert's route OMFG ERNEST IS TOTALLY HUMANSTUCK KARKAT RIGHT DOWN TO THE LOVE OF ROMANTIC COMEDIES HOLY SHIT ...are we sure there aren't any homestucks in the group that made this game?
Spoiler Tbh I'm not sure exactly how much influence they have but the person who made the dollmaker parts (correct me if I'm wrong? ), JN Wiedle used to Homestuck, though largely the intermission side (they illustrated the paradox space comic The Inaugural Death of Mister Seven) So possibly there are others who wanted to put Karkatesqueries into Ernest :P
I know this thread is dead but this keeps popping up on my dash and I'm losing my goddamn mind over it. Spoiler: do we still need to spoiler game spoilers [source]
