(nature au) you said that while dale dislikes dev using a cane in the house he doesn’t really care too much, but what if dev used a cane in public? i can’t imagine dale would be okay with that at all. he’d be pissed, like confiscate the cane kind of pissed

Originally the gag here was just going to be Dev clinging onto his dads arm for dear life while he shivers like a chihuahua but he is just. So small.. I couldnt get it to look reasonable

Bonus:

#The horror of putting Dev in a situation where he would 100% be wearing his sunglasses #Like NOOO the perfectly construction expression of horror I was going to give him #fop nature au #fop #fairly oddparents #fop a new wish #fairly oddparents a new wish #fop dev #dev dimmadome #dale dimmadome #fop dale #fop peri #art #digital art #fanart #I cant tell if I got the tone right with this one #Theres a very careful balance I try to strike with comedy vs horror and Im not sure if I got it #I also try to keep a sort of balance when depicting characters that are just straight up awful #I dont like depicting characters as cartoonishly evil but I also dont want to make him seem overly sympathetic #or like he's 'deep down a good person' because he's straight up not #He's awful and selfish. What he's done to his son makes him deeply uncomfortable with himself #but that discomfort means absolutely nothing when he refuses to change or become a better person #and he does refuse to change. changing is hard #he still keeps hurting Dev at every turn and maybe to tries to justify it to himself as being for Devs own good #but regardless he is still refusing to listen to him and hurting him even more in the process #idk im rambling #I like to keep the abuse balanced out with these nothing little concessions on Dales part #tbh even this concession didnt come from the good of his heart he just wanted to avoid making a scene #also because the visual of Dale deciding CARRYING him everywhere is better than just letting him have his cane is very funny to me
