one time i had the most godawful haircut ever like im talking my crush said i looked like mr ohare from the lorax movie bad and i cried when i got it but not bc of the haircut it was because i was still young and couldnt properly fake liking it to the barber and felt so bad bc i knew SHE knew i didnt like the cut and it made me so guilty cuz i was like omg i know you tried your best im so sorry i made you feel like it wasnt enough *cries*
#I STILL FEEL GUILTY AND SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE THINKING ABT IT TO THIS DAY#BECAUSE THATS ALSO WHY EVEN IF I HATE FOOD AT A RESTURAUNT ILL PACK IT HOME#BECAUSE I CANT STAND LEAVING SHIT AND MAKING THE CHEF THINK THEIR FOOD ISNT GOOD ENOUGH#LIKE IDK IM LIKE GHHHH YOU TRIED YOUR BEST AND I FEEL LIKE SUCH A DICK FOR ACTING AS IF THAT ISNT GOOD ENOUGH#whenever i tell people ive cried from a haircut before tho they always think its because of the cut#and its interesting to me because i always used to assume theyd know it was from guilt because like hair grows back lol#its not like im going to die from a bad haircut at age 12. even when i was 12 i knew that#but i get upset thinking about making someone feel like their best isnt enough especially when its subjective like cooking or haircuts#and yknow its like their career instead of a casual hobby

And now onward to my dumb headcanons about dadtagonist Iggy!
The official ingame term for the character creator is âdadsonaâ (lol) but I dunno, Iâm just used to something-sona being literally drawing yourself in the style of the game. I did take some screenshots back at the beginning of making myself in the character creator, but Iâm asexual so i kinda feel uncomfortable playing dating sims as myself. like.. I donât like romance stuff for the same reasons, yknow? I like reading about other peopleâs love, it doesnât mean I want it to happen to me. Its why i still really love Fire Emblem Awakening even though that game has a load of plot problems and some rather offensive anti-LGBT stuff. (And somehow even more in the sequel that added gay marriage?? HOW DID YOU MANAGE THAT) That game was like the only thing ever where you can pair up your party members with each other instead of just with the protagonist. I really liked that cos like.. they actually had more personality and it wasnât just seeing one side of the romance with the protag being a blank slate and all. Tho it seems the dadsona in DD is less of a blank slate actually, which can be kind of a problem sometimes cos thereâs stuff thatâs canon that Iâm just gonna have to ignore for Iggy. Like, for example, I didnât realise that one line later on would say that the portagonist is bad with computers, I decided that Iggyâs career was in electronics.
OH YEAH LETS GET BACK ON TOPIC ANYWAY
So yeah, randomly I decided Iggy is a tech genius and computer repairman! I mean, the protagonist doesnât seem to have a job or anything so I wanted to think of one. Also all the romance options had a slogan during prerelease materials, like âcoffee dadâ and âsports dadâ and âbad dadâ (who was really more specifically âcryptid-hunting private detective with a funky leather jacketâ but I guess that didnt fit in a tagline XD) So I figured I needed to think up a âdad themeâ for my protagonist too?? But like.. he doesnât have a particularly unusual personality or any hobbies or anything? He canât be âshy dadâ because like half of all the romance options have some form of adorable shyness, even the bad dad!
Oh, and PERSONALITY! I probably should have talked about that first! Iggy is super shy and has self-confidence issues. Heâs a big cuddly pushover! Thereâs actually quite a few dialogue options for the protagonist that let you roleplay this way, thereâs some super funny and relateable social anxiety moments. Like one I saw during the intro was a big âol hilarious rant about the complex process of visiting a fancy coffee shop and not knowing the Unspoken Social Rules of how to order something. Definately gonna screenshot that when I get to it in my own playthrough! But also its kinda unavoidable to get loads of sassy funny dialogue, its like the protagonistâs default setting in conversations that donât have choices. So I liked imagining that as a neat kind of personality, actually! Someone whoâs very witty and outspoken when heâs comfortable around people, but his anxiety keeps him from showing this side of himself all the time. Like a blossoming social flower! So mr shyman Iggy still has a super sarcastic internal narrator voice, and goofs around a lot with his daughter. Who will be the lucky man who loves him enough to also receive his amazing comedy? But Iâm not gonna be picking any of the more reckless and outgoing dialogue options, canon dadtagonist is a bit of a rebel lol. A very complicated guy who can have all these personality traits at once, PLUS whatever ones you decide with your choices! O_O
Oh and also I ended up deciding his dad theme is Vampire Dad because.. well, why not? Who cares that Iâm throwing random fantasy into this game, its not like its exactly down-to-earth and super serious. Plus seriously thereâs just SO MUCH comedic potential! Iâm thinking heâs just like.. super casual about it. Completely normal dad. Just happens to be slightly undead. Absolutely no angst plots or anything, itâs just like a disability he deals with. âhey old man donât forget to drink your blood and take your pillsâ I canât even think of a deep backstory about it, really?? If itâs going on the classic movie vampire rules of passing on via bite, then he probably just woke up with a hangover one morning and was like âhey these fangs are new, I guess that guy at the bar was a vampireâ *carries on life as usual* Or like if itâs on old myth rules of vampires coming from any improper burial or sinful corpse or whatever, then I think maybe the âgrudgeâ that brought him back from the dead was just determination to look after his daughter. Like âgod dammit you already lost one parent, I wonât make you cry a second time!â *forces himself back into life through sheer willpower* Even though heâs normally cowardly, he can summon the courage to do anything if his baby girl needs him! Anyway, he just diddly deals wit it. Buys animal blood from the butcher, works night shifts. No biggie. And besides, turning into a bat is cool! (imagine him doing it to cheer up lil toddler amanda :3)
Tho lol obviously all the events of the game donât take place at night. So like, either I switch the order of stuff around in my headcanons or I just say that thatâs a weakness that doesnât apply to vampires in this story. I mean, theyâre like one of the least consistant myths across fiction, lol. If I recall correctly, wasnât it like that in dracula, actually? Like he just lost his magic in sunlight, he didnât die instantly. Ehh lets just say maybe Iggyâs on a nocturnal sleeping schedule now and sunlight mildly saps his energy. He doesnât really have any magic to disable in the first place, aside from the bat thing. Heâs like the most boring down-to-earth vampire. Also actually I think Craigâs route would be even cuter if Iggyâs going to even more trouble to do gym stuff with him. Heâs not only not really interested in exercise, but also waking up at the equivelant of 2am and dragging his tired ass out in the sunlight where he doesnât even have any superstrength anymore. Donât want to dissappoint the bae! And lol from what spoiler stuff I saw about Hugoâs route, thereâs a bit that would violate the whole âvampires canât enter a home uninvitedâ rule. I think it would be funnier if Iggy has like zero vampire benefits and all of the most obscure ridiculous vampire weaknesses! And that whole scene would play out even funnier if it was with him standing 20 feet behind everyone and yelling through a window XD ...though Iâm imagining heâd be positively mournful if he couldnât eat garlic bread, so lets swap that out for âcanât cross running waterâ. Iggy spills a glass of orange juice in the kitchen and traps himself in the corner til his daughter comes home and saves him. Probably does the same thing with a salt circle the next day. Yes, this is prime cuteness. All of the cutest vampire features!
