Normal Oak - Tumblr Posts
Every time I look at Normal I just see Grant as a teen:
Unable to express emotions? Check.
Crush on a person who (probably in Normal’s case) doesn’t like them back? Check.
Hiding emotions? Check.
Not thinking you’re good enough? Check.
Daddy issues? Check.
Me relating to them too much? Check!
DNDADS SPOILERS
I had a headcannon that Henry Oak had a little place in his and Mercedes’ garden where there would be rocks that reminds him of his friends with their names carved into them to remember them (He’d also probably use some Druid magic to make it look nice with flowers like when they found their wives dead)
Now all I can think of is when Normal goes to see his grandad they add another rock to there that is Hermie
DNDADS S2 SPOILERS!
Midnight thoughts at it again :)
Sparrow named Normal and Hero that way because Hero was supposed to be a sacrifice to save the world and Normal was just the replacement kid. He didn’t be a father to them because he didn’t want to grow bonds with them and watch them die. In the end, he didn’t even take in an optimistic hope that perhaps everything goes well without his children dying and just named them what they would be in his story. A hero and a normal kid.
You would think that she’d have at least a little bit of a relationship with Hero, the person he focused his whole attention on but instead it most likely just concerned her, made her feel alone and made her distance herself from him as much as she could. Think about it. Your dad and your uncle always takes you on these ‘trips’ to go hunting, learn how to use guns and knives, etc. without your younger brother going as well. You just have 2 fully grown adults going, teaching only YOU something. Wondering why your brother doesn’t come either and if this is a normal thing that happens to people. Then, you are told by them that you are the chosen one and now put this incredibly heavy weight onto you, A CHILD. You never asked for this but you also can’t talk to anyone else about it so you’re left alone, with just your thoughts.
And Normal. You’re ABSOLUTELY wondering why your name is Normal but your sister’s is Hero. And the fact that she constantly goes on trips with your dad and uncle that you NEVER get invited to. At a very young age, you are already questioning what is wrong with you, why does your dad not like you as much, why am I not as good as my sister. You feel isolated away from them, like there is something that everyone knows is obvious that you don’t. It makes you feel like an idiot. Even if you ask, your dad doesn’t allow you on these trips so you just stay at home, wondering. Your dad never puts in much effort to be your dad, what are you doing wrong? And if he never puts in any energy into being a parent, why should you put in effort to be his son?
Sparrow was too scared to get attached to his own children.
(I love Sparrow but my GOD, he needs to take a lesson from Ron’s books and be the dad that stepped up)
Rest in peace Normal Oak, you would’ve loved the Hot To Go demo
In season 2, episode 1, Anthony accidentally says Lark is Normal’s dad. Do with that information what you will.
i don’t care, i just want to be a part of something /lyr

They are creatures.
Grease boy & the joker baby


He just has a deep connection with the musical's title :')

the kids are alright

just thinking about them from episode 14……. i like that normal’s friends are there for him while he’s going on a self-discovery journey, its a nice contrast between their support VS his family’s distain for him being weird

Over arching thought of Season two
fuck every body trying to convince all of the season 2 daddies to accept Willy stanpler as an alley!!! He really kidnapped some 12 year olds, endangered their lives, killed Glen Infront of everybody, and tried to fucking NUKE EVERYONE. He really destroyed their worlds, AGAIN and AGAIN in front of their face and expects them to just deal with it.
And then for those kids to live in a world with the doodler knowing that it was their fault and spending their whole childhood trying to kill this LITERAL GOD. Imagine being 17 and having your brains constantly scrambled by horrible lovecraftian baddies. The odsey-dads fought tooth and nail for their kids to go back home, that was their role model, that was their standard for being a good dad. Then trying to be a parent yourself after getting abused so hard by the world. Not having the time you need to heal only compounds that shit. when there's a literal god out there trying to kill you and your spouse and your kid and everyone you love while having your sanity constantly challenged, you can't expect someone in that position to make logical, ethical decisions. My gut turns at the thought of them switching the forgot relm and earth but I feel like my parents probably would have done the same if given the option.
I'm conclusion: I want more content with season one kids teen years. And for them to be cut some fucking slack!!

tough talk for a guy within kissing distance
GAHHHhH!!!! I LOVE THEM! THEY amAKE ME ILL!!!


Normal and Hermie, Senior Year
In preparation of the new episode tomorrow enjoy some little drawings I made of the 4 teens.




And then all of them next to each other

I love them all so very much
I doodled these all during class and I regret absolutely nothing
Normal seems like the type of kid who in grade school wore one animal costume. The same costume every day, nothing else. Whether or not it got washed is anyone's guess.
I personally think Normal has the makings of a good child therapist when he grows up. But Im curious what do other members of the Dungeons and Daddies community think?

The idea of Normal adopting a homunculus child imbued with the soul of the Doodler has been living rent free in my head since listening to S2: episode 23. However, it occurred to me the Doodler is massive, surely it’s entire essence wouldn’t fit in a single homunculi. Another one!
Meet Dude and Lure Ly Oak-Swallows Garcia, the adopted twin children of Normal Ly-Oak.
Broke: Sparrow is ableist
Woke: Sparrow is Autistic
Bespoke: Sparrow has five generations of internalized ableism and the end of the world weighing down on him and is trying everything he can to make his son ”normal” in society because he believes that that is the only way he could break the generational curse on his family
