i remember this one time when i was planning on going to my best friend's (we were 'dating' in that little kid way, where we didn't really understand that kind of thing) house
i couldn't have been older than 10 yet i dressed up the best i could, used the lipstick with the plumper in it, put on a little mascara. i knew what men liked, so surely it must be the same. this is what i am meant to do. this is the only reason people like me, right?
it was something aaron taught me
sometimes they're nicer to you if you're pretty

Jack A1, A11, B2, B12, C1, C7, D3, E4. G1 and H7, And Damien A2, A17, B9, C8, E2, F2, G4,G6, H2 and H8?
i forogt how long the answers for this one get
A1: What of the Meyers-Briggs personality types they most fit into? INFP, ENFT, et cetera…
i dont know much about mbti types but based on the 3 second google search i just did he seems to be an istj (but theres a good chance im wrong dfjkghfkhdk)
A11: Does your OC put others’ needs before their own?
if theyre someone he cares about then yeah, but he generally does it in small ways so unless you know him fairly well you probably wont notice
B2: Do they get frustrated when lines at places like pharmacies, check-outs, delis, banks, et cetera, are moving slowly?
unless hes in a big rush then nah, hes usually fine with just waiting around
B12: Your OC orders something to eat and gets their order done in a pretty wrong way, something they can’t just pick off or whatnot to correct, or something major is missing. What do they do? 
he just. asks the waiter to fix it/bring a replacement. he doesnt really have any issues asking people for stuff! god i wish that were me
C1: Does your OC have a moral code? If not, how do they base their actions? If so, where does it come from, and how seriously do they take it?
his morals basically boil down to “dont be a dick for no reason” and he tends to follow that pretty well (in his head at least. hes very curt so a lot of people misinterpret that as rudeness)
C7: Do they believe people change over time? If so, is it a natural process or does it take effort?
yeah he believes people can change but they have to put in the effort if hes even gonna think about forgiving them
D3: How comfortable are they with the idea of death?
before he met damien just kinda saw it as a thing that happens that isnt worth getting too upset over, but since meeting him he finds the idea of dying and death a lot more daunting
E4: Did they enjoy school if they went to it?
he never really loved it but he never really hated it either
G1: Is your OC close to their family?
hes always kinda had a... strained relationship with his mum. she was always very distant raising him and as much as he tells himself he doesnt really care he does kinda resent her for it. theyre trying to have a normal relationship now and he does love her evne if she does make it very difficult sometimes. he doesnt have a dad
H7: What do they look for in partners? (Emotionally, mentally, physically..)
he doesnt “look for” anything, really. he had a bad experience with a relationship in high school so hes still kinda averse to the idea of a relationship, and he met damien entirely though coincidence & didnt think he was looking for anything until it was too late and he was already in too deep yknow
A2: What alignment are they? Chaotic neutral, lawful evil, et cetera…
chaotic neutral tbh
A17: What’s one of your OC’s proudest moments of themselves?
once he did a runner from the ward and managed to track down jack’s uni/dorm without much information to go on. he shouldnt be as proud of that as he is! hes also just kinda proud of how good he is at ice skating (or how good he was before getting his skates confiscated and then. dying)
B9: What kind of humor does your OC like the most? Slapstick, ironic, funny sounds, scare pranks, xD sO rAnDoM…
he’ll laugh at pretty much anything tbh but he especially loves watching pranks
C8: Is your OC more practical or ideal morally? I.e., do they hold people to high expectations of behavior even if it’s not realistic for the situation, or do they have a more realistic approach and adapt their morality to be more practical?
if he doesnt expect anything from anyone (himself included) he can never be disappointed ! he usually just expects the worst
E2: Which of the nine types of intelligence is your OC strongest in? Weakest? (Linguistic, existential, naturalist, et cetera)
hes got very good street smarts/survival instincts, he’s actually a lot more book-smart than most people would expect but it’s still a weak area for him
F2: What’s their ideal home look like? Where is it?
somewhere far away from his dad thats also not a ward somewhere thats within close walking distance to a lot of stuff !! so like close to shops and public transport and a big park. also somewhere that’s not too busy but also not too quiet
G4: Does your OC believe in love in first sight?
not in the slightest. he was actually really pissed off by jack the first time they met jdfkhgsdfjkfhfgk
G6: Do they have any favorite childhood memories?
no, his childhood sucked lol. he used to take skating lessons which he really liked but that’s about it
H2: Is your OC a thoughtful partner, in whatever aspect of that you want to cover?
not really, he tries but he’s too wrapped up in his own head most of the time to properly consider anyone other than himself. luckily jack’s not the sort of person who cares too deeply about this stuff (although it does annoy him sometimes)
H8: What’s your OC’s idea of a perfect date?
anywhere that he doesnt feel too vulnerable or anxious !! hed honestly rather just stay in and order takeaway and watch movies but if he had to go out hed wanna do something small. like getting dinner & then going for a walk thru the park. he took jack skating a couple of times while he was alive (see also: damien skated while jack was too much of a wimp and just sat on the grass and watched) and he liked that a lot! ^__^

Dream Daddy rant on male representation done right
I think that what I liked the most about Dream Daddy (there are things I didnt like but thats another story) is that if you get a "bad" ending with the dads and end up single, its not the end of the world. You get a heart to heart ending with Amanda, the light of your eyes that you gave your life to, the child you raised from day one. It is a Dream Daddy game... So it only makes sense that in the end the point is not to get laid or end up with someone (it may be the goal of the game but not the goal of adventuring into Dadhood), but to see your baby as happy and healthy and loved as you wanted them to be. Why is this important? On one side of the spectrum, in most media the heart to hearts come from a mother or a female lead, because tears and emotions and actual vulnerability are not seen as masculine; they are seen as gay or frilly or just faggy. Hell, media even makes FUN of dads getting overemotional when they see their kid leave or go through something. And dont even make me start on Dad-Son relationships; a lot of them are portrayed as Daddy not being proud of their sons choices which ultimately becomes a plot device under very toxic premises. The only kids oriented movie exception to this rule that comes to my mind is A Goofy Movie, but its a comedy movie where you see the struggle overloaded with silly moments to lighten up the mood and not scar children for life. On the other hand, the dad-daughter relationships in media are handled as the Dad being an overprotective figure who will shoot anyone in range who tries to date their daughter. And in the end, the daughter is most likely to fuck something up badly, only for the Dad to fix it and remind their kid that Dads are always right. Which is, oh boy, not always true. In DD we have Pablo who we get our "daddy senses tingling" from when he flirts with Amanda, but answering with the stereotypical overprotective answer wont bring you any good in game, while a more mature answer is more rewarding. These two stereotypes are in most of mainstream media, and I am very sick of them because they dehumanize men in order to play a trope that will give money to the makers. In Dream Daddy, on the other hand, men are actual human beings with actual vulnerabilities when it comes to their children. Its not seen as a comedy trope and of all the comedic things that can happen in the game, this is the issue thats taken the most seriously. And its not just your Dadsona/Avatar, but *all* of the dads who are taken seriously in their emotions. They cry, they worry, they want to know whats going on, they are terrified, upset and proud, and distance hurts them because of how wounded and lonely they feel; but they put their issues aside for the sake of their kids, and its just *huge* how much of a stress overload being a Dad is. Which in fact, it is. Theres no manual on how to be a good dad; you can fuck up easily. And dont even get me started on teenagers; Hugo and Damien are the examples of that stress. And its even more difficult if you dont have a partner who you can trust, someone who will listen to you. When you are a person who cares about kids and wants to become a parent (if you dont want to ever have kids thats also good, dont let anyone tell you that you MUST be a parent to be happy), Parenthood is the most stressful, nerve wrecking experience of your life, but its also the most rewarding experience you could ever go through. And in the end, you may not have a happy ending where you get the hunk of your dreams to hold you through it all. But you end up seeing your child as the strong, beautiful person they are, and it all somehow clicks back into place once again.
