I should be sleeping but instead I am writing up this post because I can't sleep.
About this crossover au that nobody but me gives a shit about. And ya know what. Good for me. To give the quick run down before I go full explation to this au. Basically I just throw the sides from sander sides into the dndads universe and that's about it.
I used to be super hyperfixated on sander sides and now am on dndads. So why not do crossover. The other basic premise is that each side (or sides in the twins case) are also kind of assigned to one of the families.
Which will be explained in the full post below the keep reading mark.
So full explanation. You wanted to actually read this, huh?
Damn. Time for a very long post.
Also I will explain not only the family assignment but also kinda how shit goes ig? This au is kinda just me messing around and also being like. "Damn, Virgil is fun to write and honestly would be fun to just exist."
So we'll start with the obvious.
And that is the Oak-Garica family and Remus & Roman. Because Lark and Sparrow are twins and so are the creativity twins. Also because the Oak-Garica twins are very creative (they burnt down their first school, the damage was limited to only one or two classrooms but still.) With the creative twins, they act as the lord of chaos's right hand men. Also, as guards. It is very silly for the prince and Duke of creativity to be guards and right-hand men instead of royalty. But it is very fun. These two become very protective of the Oak-Garica twins while at the ravenloft castle.
Got not much else to say for the twins and the twins. We will get to the s2 group later, as that will be easier to do it that way.
Now. We go to the stampler family and Virgil. This isn't just because of the purple color schemes between the two (it kind of was when I first made this crossover idea in my brain.) But in all seriousness. He and Terry Jr. are in the French town which name I have forgotten now. Virgil acts as Terry's guard, very similarly to the twins. But until the twins, is willing to actually harm the dads (+ the mystery side that'll be revealed later.) He tries to stop the dads from stopping Terry Jr. from going to the Astral plane, which he fails at. At Ravenloft, he tries to create a very paranoid atmosphere for the o-dads. However it does affect everybody else so he doesn't do it often, not wanting to affect everybody else with it.
Moving on. We go to the Wilson family and Patton. Those who know sander sides and/or those who know dndads may feel this decision weird. Patton is very kind by nature which is very Wilson. However Grant was ya know, in a murder game. So it feels like an odd choice. However I feel it was a good choice as Patton, despite probably not wanting to kill others, would probably do so if necessary. During the for knights (fortnite) arc and all, Patton is staying with Grant and watching over the kid. Patton is very kind and feels like leaving a kid who is maybe at the most 13, maybe 14, alone would be a horrible idea. During the time in the castle, he tries to talk to Grant during it. Failing miserably however. But he tries.
Moving on once again. It's now the Close family and Janus. I decided on this one because of how different Nick Close and Nicholas Foster was. And I felt like out of the remaining sides, Janus fit the Close family more than the Foster's. Janus is all for the watermice thing. He also 100% agrees with the falsehood (very fun word and reference) that your piss can stop you from passing out, because ya know. Deceit, crazy to think that we used to not know his name, I thought that he would've been called Ethel. Anyways. At Ravenloft, he kinda just glares at Virgil the whole time. He knows Nick can handle himself, so he really doesn't act like a guard or protector towards him.
Moving onto the final family and side. The Foster family and Logan. However I will note that Logan stays with the dads the whole time. In the Close timeline, he is with the dads. Probably the only reasonable one. However in the foster timeline. He stayed with Nicholas the whole time. Anyways. Logan stays with the party, trying to act reasonable to everybody else's dumbassry. He already deals with Remus, what's 4 more dumbasses? (a lot, it sucks.)
Now before we get to the s2 group, there is a few things that I need to talk about.
Like their classes.
Logan - Wizard, despite how squishy they are. The fact they use learnt knowledge for magic felt really right for Logan. He's logic, and also the smart one. Very book smart, not very street smart. However he needs to use an actual weapon, he will straight up smack somebody with a book.
Janus - Rouge, he's very sneaky. Sneaky snake boy, which is what he has been called canonically once for those who have never seen sander sides. (I am so sorry to my dndads mutals, and any dndads fans that see this.) Janus uses disguise Self a lot (he did technically disguised himself as both Patton and Logan before.)
Patton - It's a very heavy decision between Barbarian or Druid. On one hand, with Barbarian, the whole rage and trying to always seem happy thing works really well. However, with Druid, Patton could turn into dogs. So, like, It's really difficult. So he could also multi-class, that works easier. However down side for both. Barbarian downside, Daryl is already one and it kind of just sucks. And downside to Druid, Henry is already a Druid and the two of them kinda look similar outfit wise.
Virgil - He's a Warlock. Funny because Scary is also a Warlock, so like. He can be a mentor or whatever. He's a Warlock, however he uses an actual weapon besides his magic. His weapon of choice, probably a knife. Or a spear. Something stabby, let him stab people 2023. (Let Virgil stab others in 2023.)
Remus - Paladin. He would be a fighter if it wasn't for the fact he is in fact probably magical. So yeah, what is his oath? Who knows. (Probably oathbreaker paladin but still.) His weapon of choice would be his morning star, which isn't on a chain. It's not a ball and chain weapon.
Roman - Roman is also a paladin. I could've gone fighter as well here. However once again, magic. His oath is kinda unknown as all dnd oaths for paladins suck /hj. Not really, they just don't fit him really. His weapon of choice would be his sword.
Classes out of the way. How the sides feel about the dads or how they do in this au. Or npc characters I wanna mention lmao.
Logan finds all of the dads sometimes very dumb, however he doesn't think they're 100% stupid. Just have some times where they don't think like at all. With Jodie, he doesn't find him as dumb, as Jodie has more common sense than the dads. Well until the whole flash bang thing but still. He does like the dads, just thinks they can very dumb at times.
Remus likes the dads well enough, finds them a bit boring however. He's a wild card and enjoys the same energy back. He does find Scam cool though, chaotic good and chaotic neutral get along. However he does think Well Actually can straight up die, I don't blame him. Rules lawyers to somebody who is extremely creative would to make me want that.
Roman likes the dads as well. Not much to say. He likes that they can handle themselves in battle I'd guess.
Janus finds the dads entertaining. He also doesn't have much for me to say about the dads. He does like Scam quite a lot. Finding the guy fun, cause ya know. Scams and Deceit go hand in hand. So of course they get along, mostly. Janus also like Well Actually, finding it fun to annoy the shit out of him.
Patton loves the dads. He likes how Daryl is strong and protective. He likes how Henry gets things done. He doesn't have much to say. He kind of ignores how the dads can be bad parents. He finds them great company and enjoys them. He also sucks at telling himself that they do in fact have negative traits, because that is admitting that dads can suck. Which is something he rather not think about, he tries to be a good dad. Despite having no children.
Virgil finds them tolerable at best. Kidding, he actually does like them. The original idea for this au, also includes him flirting with Glenn. I don't know why I decided that. However I decided to keep it because it's very silly. Also because it let's me make Virgil confident and shit instead of how some of the Sander Sides fandom treats him... like he's an uwu anxious baby (wow, is there somebody like that in dndads fandom? Yeah. It's Ron.) However I haven't figured if they [Glenn and Virgil] actually started a relationship or kinda just had romantic tension and it goes nowhere. And it sucks. Also Virgil finds Ron to be cool, which is nice.
Now that's done. Finally.
We can get to some talk about the s2 group. And a little info into how the sides now interact with the world since s1.
The sides have been stuck in this universe for now 25 some years. They have accepted this, so they now live as if they are just normal people.
They're family friends of their "assigned" family. (Minus Virgil, he just decided that he's now just Ron's brother now.)
Everybody has taken a fake last name to throw anybody off their trail. With Virgil taking his now adoptive brother's.
The twins figure out a name that seems royal enough. Patton takes Hart because basic ass bitch I am and it's just a good last name. Idk for Logan yet. And Janus is an oddball and idk as well, he could pass as a Likely family member if he wanted to honestly.
Now how they feel about the teens, mostly parental or mentor like. And also how they interact with the family they are "family friends" with teen. (Also with npcs I wanna mention)
Logan sees the teens as teenagers. They can be dumb and idiotic and very impulsive. He understands that, however it makes him worry for them sometimes. He thinks Taylor's obsession with anime a bit concerning. He gets along with Cassandra well, the both of them often holding intellectual conversations at like 2 in the morning. Both very sleep deprived.
Remus sees the teens with the fact that the world is very fucked up at this point and they need therapy. He does enjoy how creative they can all get, teens have some of the most twisted minds. He thinks the fact Normal is a mascot kid is pretty cool. He did wish that the devil mascot won because it'd be more fun. However he does enjoy telling Normal about fun ideas for the Teeny fanfics, most getting shot down. How he interacts with either of Normal's parents is with slight malice to the fact they keep pushing Normal's creativity down. It upsets him.
Roman thinks that the teens need to go to therapy, just like his brother. Similarly to Remus, he likes that Normal is a mascot kid. He also gives suggestions, however he doesn't get shot down as much. He also treats Normal's parents with malice for shutting down creativity and also not being proud of Normal. Like ow, that hurts.
Janus thinks the teens need to be more honest. Which is shocking coming from him. He loves a good lie but lying all the time can ruin how you feel about yourself. He actually doesn't really spend time with one family, as he doesn't really want to. However he mostly stays with the Swift family. He also likes having intelligent conversations with Cassandra and Logan. However they are usually all sleep deprived during these conversations.
Patton is very concerned for the teens. He stays with the Li-Wilson's. Lincoln concerns him the most for a while, as the kid has no friends. He interacts with Link's parents decently well. He does push for Link to actually go to school because social interaction is important for kids.
Virgil thinks the teens are cool, maybe extremely anxious but still cool. He is concerned for Scary for the fact she is being manipulated by Willy, however if he tried to tell her. She would start to extremely distrust him. So instead he goes along with the fact that Willy is "good." He is trying to help Scary the best he can, as Scary reminds him a lot of himself. God the parallels between the stamplers and Virgil, damn. Anyways. He also finds Veronica cool and thinks Scary should stop being mad at her. Same with Terry, even if Terry can be a total loser (/pos) at times.
And that's kinda the whole post. However, one last note.
The sides thinks Normal and Hermie deserve to be happy instead of sad as fuck. However, teen romance normally doesn't work out, so they're also worried that Normal will get his heart broken.
They're proud parents basically, who just worry for their kids (the teens). But also kind of just mentors but also parents.
So end of post. I am so sorry for how long this is. It was not worth it to read the whole thing. Sorry.
Anyways. Thank you for reading this long ass post. And dealing with this bullshit.
Also, sorry to those who found this via the tags. I need to tag the post for easy finding on my blog and also for reach.
I will maybe have more stuff for this bullshit au at a later date. Maybe Glenn and Virgil flirting fic. Maybe fanart with the two sets of twins being cool and twinning.
Anyways. Good day/night/time of day everybody. And thank you for reading this whole post!

A little charmer of a movie starring the ever-watchable Kevin Kline. I’ll admit I’m pretty old-fashioned and, even in today’s evil world, I cling to the hope there are still good-hearted people out there somewhere. This is one of those movies keeping that hope alive. Let the soft side of you out and enjoy this film.

Anti Abortion Legislation around the US
Hey guys. So as I’m sure everyone is aware, there have been several recent anti-abortion bills getting passed in various US states. Below I have compiled information regarding all of these bills so far. I have included the actual bill text itself and the voting record. I also included names of every democrat who voted for these bills; for almost every bill it’s a given that the republicans voted for it, but what’s just as dangerous is democrats voting for these bills. I also included links to all of the information so that you can check it and find out more about it if you would like to. This is a long post, but I’m not putting it under a read more because it’s honestly really important that people actually read this and don’t just scroll past it. Please reblog to spread this information. And get out there and vote these people out of office.
**quick note: when i wrote the reelection years, im talking specifically about when their term ends. when voting it will be the November (or earlier months for primaries) of the year before. just to avoid any confusion!

Black Dynamite (2009)
Action, Comedy |
Black Dynamite is a American blaxploitation action comedy film starring Michael Jai White, Tommy Davidson, and Salli Richardson. The film was directed by Scott Sanders and co-written by White, Sanders, and Byron Minns, who also co-stars.
The plot centers on former CIA agent Black Dynamite, who must avenge his brother’s death while cleaning the streets of a new drug that is ravaging the community. The film is a parody of and homage to the blaxploitation genre and its era. It had a trailer and funding even before a script was written. Black Dynamite was shot in 20 days in Super 16 format.
In the early 1970s, Black Dynamite, a Vietnam War veteran and former CIA officer, vows to clean up the streets of drug dealers and gangsters after his younger brother Jimmy is killed by a shady organization. O’Leary, Black Dynamite’s former army and CIA partner, reinstates him into the agency because they do not want him seeking vengeance by himself. While trying to get to the bottom of Jimmy’s murder, he finds out that his brother was actually working undercover for the CIA. Black Dynamite also discovers the shady organization is filling the black orphanages with heroin. He declares war on local drug dealers and successfully cleans up the streets, earning him the affection of Gloria, a Black Power activist who works at the local orphanage.
After discovering the government’s involvement in the drug ring, Black Dynamite steals the ledger belonging to corrupt Congressman James which details illegal shipments to a warehouse. Black Dynamite and his team storm the warehouse to capture a big shipment.

Ledisi
Ledisi Anibade Young (born March 28, 1972), better known simply as Ledisi, is an American R&B and jazz recording artist, songwriter, and actress. Her first name means "to bring forth" or "to come here" in Yoruba. In 1995, Ledisi formed the group Anibade. After unsuccessfully trying to get the group signed to a major label, she formed LeSun Records with Sundra Manning. Anibade and Ledisi released an album entitled "Soulsinger" (black and white cover on the LeSun Music independent label) featuring the song Take Time, which gained substantial airplay from San Francisco area radio stations. A twelve-time Grammy Award nominee, Ledisi has released eight studio albums between 2000 and 2017.
In 2000, Ledisi re-released her first major label signed album, titled Soulsinger: The Revival. Ledisi and her group toured in 2001. In 2002, Ledisi released her second album, Feeling Orange but Sometimes Blue. The album won an award for "Outstanding Jazz Album" at the California Music Awards.
In 2005, Ledisi signed a record deal with Verve Forecast and released her third album, titled Lost & Found, on August 28, 2007; it sold almost 217,000 copies and earned her two Grammy nominations, including one for Best New Artist. In 2008, Ledisi released her Christmas album, It's Christmas.
In 2009, Ledisi released her fourth album Turn Me Loose, which earned her two Grammy nominations, followed by her fifth album Pieces of Me (2011) which debuted on the US Billboard 200 album chart at number eight, becoming the first top-ten album of her career and her highest-charting album to date. It also garnered three Grammy nominations at the 54th Grammy Awards including for Best R&B Album. In 2013, she received a nomination for Best R&B Performance at the 55th Grammy Awards for her collaboration with fellow R&B and jazz musician Robert Glasper for the album cut "Gonna Be Alright" from his fifth album Black Radio (2012). In 2014, she released her sixth album The Truth to critical acclaim and moderate sales. She portrayed legendary gospel singer Mahalia Jackson in the 2014 Martin Luther King, Jr. biopic, Selma.
Early life
Ledisi was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. She grew up in a musical family; her mother, Nyra Dynese, sang in a Louisiana R&B band and her stepfather, Joseph Pierce III, (deceased) was a drummer in the New Orleans area. Her biological father is soul singer Larry Sanders, the son of blues singer Johnny Ace. He left the family when she was a baby and they did not meet again for nearly three decades.
Ledisi first began performing publicly at age eight with the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra. Ledisi moved to Oakland, California, where she attended McChesney Junior High School, now Edna Brewer Middle School. She was shy about her singing abilities and would sing only upon request when students in her gym class would implore her to sing Deniece Williams's version of Black Butterfly, bringing the entire locker room audience under the spell of her very mature, melodious voice. As she sang more publicly her music career blossomed. She was nominated for a Shellie award in 1990 for her performance in a production of The Wiz and performed in an extended run with the San Francisco cabaret troupe, Beach Blanket Babylon. She studied opera and piano for five years at University of California Berkeley in their Young Musicians Program.
Musical career
1995–1999: Career beginnings
In the 1990s, Ledisi formed a group called Anibade, alongside Sundra Manning (producer, keyboards, songwriting), Phoenix (LaGerald) Normand (background vocals, songwriting), Cedrickke Dennis (guitar), Nelson Braxton (bass), Wayne Braxton (sax), and Rob Rhodes (drums), playing a jazz and hip-hop influenced kind of soul. The group won acclaim in the San Francisco Bay Area with a cult-like following of die-hard fans who referred to themselves as "Ledites" and meet her with love at every event, singing along verbatim to songs that though unrecorded at the time, were well known by their fans. The group later recorded a demo of one of the songs from their set, entitled, "Take Time" which was played on local stations and requested non-stop. Ledisi tried to get the group signed to a major label, but had no luck. Ledisi also performed often with jazz saxophonist Robert Stewart throughout the early 1990s in San Francisco.
2000–2003: Soulsinger: The Revival and Feeling Orange but Sometimes Blue
In January 2000, Ledisi released her first album, Soulsinger: The Revival, independently on her label, LeSun Records. The album spun off four singles, "Soulsinger", "Take Time", "Get Outta My Kitchen", and "Good Lovin'". After the release of Soulsinger: The Revival, Ledisi toured with her group Anibade.
In 2002, Ledisi released her second album, Feeling Orange but Sometimes Blue, which was also released independently. The album featured the singles "Feeling Orange but Sometimes Blue" and "Autumn Leaves". During this time she also recorded commercials for the Sci Fi Channel. In 2003, Ledisi won "Outstanding Jazz Album" for Feeling Orange but Sometimes Blue at the California Music Awards.
2006–2008: Lost & Found
During her five-year hiatus, Ledisi made appearances on soundtracks. In 2007, she signed with Verve and released "Blues in the Night" which featured on the tribute album, We All Love Ella: Celebrating the First Lady of Song.
In August 2007, Ledisi's third album, Lost & Found, was released. During her hiatus, Ledisi stated that she was unsure of wanting to stay in the music industry. In response, Ledisi wrote the song "Alright" to express her life. "Alright" became the lead single and debuted at #45 on the Billboard Hot R&B chart. The album's second single, "In The Morning", debuted at #49 on the Billboard Hot R&B chart. Other songs from the album charted but were not released as singles. "Think of You" charted at #71 on the Hot R&B charts, "Joy" charted at #103 on the Hot R&B charts and #29 on the Adult R&B Airplay.
In December 2007, the album earned her two Grammy nominations, including one for Best New Artist. In 2008, Ledisi continued her tour to promote the album, Lost & Found. By January 2009, the album had sold 216,894 copies.
In September 2008, Ledisi released her Christmas album, It's Christmas, which featured the singles "This Christmas" and "Children Go Where I Send Thee". In December 2008, Ledisi's T.V. special aired on Gospel Channel, titled "Ledisi Christmas". Ledisi performed a few songs from her Christmas album. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "Give Love On Christmas Day" charted on the Hot R&B charts at #113.
In 2008 Ledisi performed the song "The Man I Love" as a blues singer in the Leatherheads movie.
2009–2010: Turn Me Loose
In 2009, Ledisi's fourth studio album was announced as Turn Me Loose. The album was released on August 18, 2009. Speaking in April 2010 to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis – Deputy Editor of the award-winning Blues & Soul – Ledisi explained the album's title reflected its musical diversity: "The title 'Turn Me Loose' is basically me saying 'I don't wanna be boxed in! Let me be myself as a performer and singer, because I do EVERYTHING! Not just one particular style!'." She employed production from seasoned R&B songwriter-producers such as Raphael Saadiq, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, James "Big Jim" Wright, and Carvin & Ivan. The first single from the album was "Goin' Thru Changes". The second single was "Higher Than This", produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and James "Big Jim" Wright.
On May 13, 2010, Ledisi performed at Charter Oak Cultural Center's 9th Annual Gala, a fundraiser for free after-school youth arts programming in inner-city Hartford. She performed several songs from Turn Me Loose, and also performed a duet with Anika Noni Rose, a tribute to the late Lena Horne.
2011–2012: Pieces of Me
Ledisi toured with R&B/soul singer Kem on his North American INTIMACY Tour. On March 10, 2011, during her opening act in Atlanta, Georgia, Ledisi announced that she had finished recording her fifth studio album, Pieces of Me, on March 9, 2011. It was released on June 14, 2011. It debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200 album chart, selling 38,000 copies in its first week. The album's title track served as the album's lead single.
Ledisi has performed at the White House seven times at the request of President and First Lady Obama.
Ledisi headlined her first tour to promote her album, Pieces of Me. The Pieces of Me Tour played to 22 sold out shows across North America. With this album, she received three nominations for the 2012 Grammy Awards, in the categories Best R&B Album, Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song, for the album and the lead single "Pieces of Me".
Ledisi released her first book, Better Than Alright: Finding Peace, Love & Power on Time Home Entertainment, Inc. in 2012. The book, an innovative collaboration with ESSENCE, is filled with the singer's personal photos, quotes, lyrics, and richly detailed stories of her journey to acceptance of her beauty, talent, and power.
On April 6, 2012, Ledisi announced her second headlining tour, B.G.T.Y., with Eric Benet serving as an opening act. In December 2012, VH1 announced that Ledisi would perform at their 2012 VH1 Divas show, a concert benefiting the Save The Music Foundation charity. Ledisi performed a Whitney Houston tribute medley with Jordin Sparks and Melanie Fiona.
2014–2016: The Truth
On March 2014, Ledisi released her new album The Truth. She is also on tour with Robert Glasper in partnership with the magazine "Essence" (which featured her on one of their three April covers as well as Erykah Badu and Solange Knowles).
In April 2014, Ledisi was cast to play Mahalia Jackson in the American historical drama film, Selma, directed by Ava DuVernay and written by Paul Webb and DuVernay. It is based on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches led by James Bevel, Hosea Williams, and Martin Luther King, Jr. In the film and on the official film soundtrack, Ledisi sings "Take My Hand, Precious Lord". Initially slated to perform at the 57th Grammy Awards as part of a tribute to the Selma March alongside Common and John Legend (who performed their Oscar-winning duet "Glory") she was ultimately snubbed by the Recording Academy and recording artist Beyoncé, who performed in her place. Ledisi's snubbing and Beyoncé's performance received mixed reaction from social media. In 2015, she received her ninth Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Performance for the single "Like This" off of her seventh album The Truth. She lost to Beyoncé and Jay Z for "Drunk in Love".
2017–present: Let Love Rule
In May 2017, Ledisi released a single titled "High" produced by Darhyl "Hey DJ" Camper and Rex Rideout. Her eighth studio album called Let Love Rule was released on September 22, 2017. In November 2017, she received three more nominations at the 60th Grammy Awards in January 2018 including Best R&B Album, Best R&B Performance and Best Traditional R&B Performance. Ledisi won a Soul Train Award 'Soul Certified Award' for the album.
Ledisi helped the BET Awards pay tribute to Anita Baker, the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient of the night on June 24, with a rendition of the singer's 1986 ode "Sweet Love".
Ledisi was then a part of the Aretha Franklin Tribute that was put together by the annual award ceremony known as Black Girls Rock. Ledisi delivered a rendition of the hit "Ain't No Way".
In October 2018, Ledisi performed with Adam Lambert in an NBC broadcast, A Very Wicked Halloween: Celebrating 15 Years on Broadway, before a live studio audience at the Marquis Theatre in New York, singing "As Long as You're Mine" from Wicked.
