More thoughts under cut.

I know I'm reading too much into this but just the idea that Ron had written all of the letters to Terry jr after his presumed death, and now, during to the large time delay between Heaven and Earth, they have only been delivered after Terry jr's death...

It was poetic that Scary ended up being the one reading it, as if the letters ended up going to his next of kin. As if these letters also represent all of the "I love you"s that Terry Jr can't give to Scary.

I think them being vocal about how much they cared about their step-kid was the generational theme that Ron had started, and that Terry wanted to carry on with Scary, but obviously, couldn't. But the issue was that Ron Stampler had too much time, and Terry Jr. Didn't have enough.

Terry Jr. Is the missing link for this generational theme to continue. I think I remember seeing a couple of posts a while back about how Ron could be the key for Scary to come to terms with herself, and with how last episode ended, I can very much see that coming to fruition. They won't be able to replace Terry, obviously. However, throughout season 2, Terry has been pretty obvious about how he sees his younger self in Scary, and he also seems to take after Ron in his step-parenting. So I wonder if Ron and Scary will notice those similarities in each other if they end up meeting.

Although, if I'm being honest, I hope the parallel that we were supposed to be hinted at from this episode was that the Stampler's have a habit of dying/disappearing and then coming back in unexpected ways (I am delusional).

I think that Nicky tried but miserably failed, and Lark laughed at him because he knows how to actually surf, because for some reason Henry knew how and thought maybe they could bond since Lark thought it looked could.

meanwhile the rest of them are under the umbrella, Sparrow unwillingly (because he'll get sand everywhere so the other 2 don't let him leave unless one of them are going with.) Every so often coming out into the water and as Lark is laughing at Nicky, Sparrow tackles him in love wolf wildshape into the water and then Nicky laughs triumphantly at him, like "HAW HAW HAW". While pointing at him a few seconds earlier being almost completely dry, and now being absolutely soaked with his brother on top of him shifting back into a person as the other 2 follow Sparrow lazily.

Content Warning for s2e34:

dndads season 2 episode 34 includes a string of jokes based on strong suicidal ideation. No one makes any attempts or talks seriously about making an attempt, but if you have any discomfort around these kinds of jokes or if this is a trigger for you, you can skip the follow times (in the first chunk I also included a string of general mental illness jokes, just to be safe). This doesn't include all of the talk about the topic, but it's definitely the place of strongest sentiment.

ad-free (Patron): 31:22-33:16 and to a much lesser extent 34:06-34:22

main-feed (as of 5/23/23, may change as ads update): 34:33-36:28 and to a much lesser extent 37:17-37:33

You can absolutely skip these parts without losing overall context of the episode. You will not be missing out, give you FOMO a warm drink and prioritize yourself. I'm not an expert on crisis hotlines, please feel free to share info in the notes of this post, but if you live in the US remember that you can call 988 for the 24 hour suicide and crisis hotline.

I finally caught up to dndads after not having listened to it since June, so in order to not make a 1000 posts I will make one mega-post of all my reactions.

35 -> anthony made a reference to him being married b4, leading to me googling it, leading to me finding out there's a "at least im not anthony burch" 4chan meme

out of al the "new" epsidoes (for me) this one is still the funniest

FUCK, the goddamn convo between Normal and Hero you can't just do this to me. you can't just give me sibling dynamics and expect me to be normal about them.

36-> this ep was spoiled form me start to finish so no particular reactions but I will say Anthony is super clever for managing to spin that prophecy to come back around

37-> the contrast of the teens experiences this episode was astounding

ONE PIECE MENTIONED! 👒🏴‍☠️

"you whirling dervish of homoeroticism and pizza" is SUCH a sentence.

38-> god this episode did so much for Scary I fucking love her. "she is holds so much anger but is one of the most loving people" what if my heart bursts from the weight of it all

39 -> in my notes I just have "RONNNNNN RONNN UR IN HEAVEN BABGGIRLLLL I LOVE YOHJHUU."

40-> Freddy's bully character. Will and Freddy's syncing on that joke and screaming about it. Will going "I'm a little turned on rn I'm not gonna lie." Anthony going "Roll for Kinsley scale." all of that almost put me in an early grave.

41-> Freddy making up dumbass plans and the getting way too excited trying to explain them leading to him being out of breath and yelling and making very little sense while everyone else is trying to cut in to tell him how dumb his plan is only for him to roll ridiculously high makes up 90% of this podcast nd I will never get tired of it. also this episode solidified that Taylor is the best character to me.

42-> I hate this.

43-> Marco is way too fucking chill beung on the Titanic I'm gonna need a bit more shock and confusion from this man. like this jist makes me think he like KNOWS everything already.

44-> the next two were my favorite episodes out of the bunch and I have a like lahes worht of notes on them and I couldn't pick my favorites so I'm gonna make seperate posts for the two of those. but in the meantime:

does the ambulance driver's accent count as slavic? cause if so first slavic dndads character lmfaoo

I feel so sad for Normal because we saw thus arc coming from a mile away. I remember listening to episodes and bejng fristrated with how other characters were responding to Normal cause I KNEW it was making this worse in his mind. and like I get them too they're all going trough heinous shit but like...fucking ouch man this was so preventable

45-> Terry Jr and Glenn competing for the title of "most polite swordfight singe Ingio and Westley in the Princess Bride"

I had seperate notes for how much I loved the charactarisation for Terry Jr, Nick, Taylor and Normal so to sum it up the cast brought their A-game I was so fucking delighted.

Freddy's habit of tling over NPC's is so fucking funny. COMPLETELY disregarding the DM is hilarious when it's not happening to me.

46-> good to see Mat being a menece for once.

somebody PLEASE fucking tell me there is fanart for Abe Lincoln from this episode PLEASE.

I know I'm a tween bow at heart because Lincoln being cool again made me so fucking hyped even though that's not the point of his charactarisation 😭 agent Schmegan just brings out the cool dude in him

Hermie's death was way less dramatic than I expected it to be but rhis is only because the amazing artists in this fandom shot my expectations through the roof with the stuff they drew

BONUS: WHODADIT -> Beth is fucking SHINING in this god every joke landed.

Anthony quickly going: "nochinamenmayfeatureinthestory" everyone else going "WOAH" and Mat going fucking "FREDDY?" as is Freddy needs to explain himself???? 😭😭 please

dndads s2 ep 36 and 37 MASSIVE spoilers but one thing i did Not expect from this weeks episode is the phrase "go slay" sung by the dad who just got the back of his head blown off????,@,#? 😭😭😭😭 ANTHONY BURCH,

[my-fishstickers]

What is Scary going to tell her mom?

[babacontainsmultitudes]

😭😭😭 Grant literally hasn't even heard Lincoln's new voice yet how are they. What is. THIS IS FUCKED UP MAN. WHAT IS NEXT EPISODE EVEN GONNA FUCKING BE I'M EATING CONCRETE OVER HERE!!!

[koszmarnybudyn]

My wrist kinda hurt cause i think i used them so much, so no doodles for today episode rn, cause i just chilled and listened, but you do get my thoughts.

Spoilers for dndads episode 36 below.

Holy shit that was great, the cast was so funny in the intro i cackled like a bird.

I knew i just knew terry and the other teendads would be brainwashed in some way, and i was right!!! So cool for Anthony to bring back the gauntlets.

Terri was great, i adore how Beth potrays her, shes so cheery and unhinged its a nice combo.

Hermie is just crushing on everyone at this point lol, now i wanna draw link as an anime boy with like the flower backround.

I knew giving him the tape mesure was a bad idea, my theory was that he would use the black parade as his army of minions tho, since he is actually depressed, looks like scary and wants power and revange, that might still happen tho.

I can't wait for the angsty drawing this episode will bring and for the sad shit show of grant having to kill terry, being brainwashed and his interactions with link now. The wilsons are not bugs like the oaks for me but i still wanna study them, (link is his baby boy who has also grown up been traumatized and that he cant quite reqognize anymore T^T)

Oh i cant wait till they long rest Scary comes back and she has to deal with the consequences of losing terry.

Link and Normal are buddies, and they have absolutly none romantic chemistry, and i love that, i feel like its that one friendship that the thought of being with them in a romantic sense would make you wanna puke, they are bros tho.

Spoilers for ep.36/ep.46 of DnDads!!!

I started listening to Dndads in 2021 but i dropped it cuz i have this weird thing where everything has to be PERFECT if i want to enjoy something. I started re-listening to it during the summer of this year (i think) and I’m almost caught up with the series

But i think im happy that i didnt start listening to dndads again till recently cuz i’ve been going thru a lot of stuff (specifically parent issues & dad/stepdad problems) and it really helped me thru some tough times, and still helps me.

It makes me wonder what it would have been like if i didnt drop dndads back then. I wonder if it wouldnt have impacted me as much as it does now

Im on ep.37 of season 2 rn, and im honestly a bit scared to get to ep.46 (the most current ep rn) bc ppl die, i already got spoilers, but IM STILL SCARED.

I just finished ep.36 a few hours ago AND TERRY JR IS DEAD????! I was in the car and i had to try my best not to look COMPLETELY DISTRAUGHT and I immediately texted my friend who has no clue what dndads is mostly about it, BUT I GASPED SO LOUD ARAGGHAGDHDHGDSJ

I just wanted to rant ab this n stuff. But im just having so much fun listening 2 this podcast and its taking me thru so many emotions, and this is like the first time i’ve ever enjoyed something so much and the first i’ve ever been so attached to the characters.

I hope everyone in the dndads fandom has a great day/night, and goodluck coping w/ all the characters that are dying in the recent episodes 🫡 💔

as promised, here is the what dndads s2 npc are you quiz! :]
