TopazShadowWolf - Blog Posts

Hey, @topazshadowwolf . I know this isn't the most polished or accurate picture, but I wanted to draw your late kitty Hickman for you. We all appreciate you and your works, and this is my way of thanking you. You have made me laugh and cry and especially daww on numerous occasions with your great writing. You are what I think of when I imagine any scenario of Dadmare, and what I compare to when reading anyone else's works about it. You are so inspiring as a storyteller, and I thank you for providing all that you have to us.

You have said through Nightmare that there are times to be sad, and now is one of those times. I hope that you are able to mourn him properly. I don't know if your beliefs allow for animals in heaven, but I thought you might like a version of him with wings and a halo.

Thank you for answering my question! I thought with like 98% certainty that he would accept them, but I just had to make sure, y'know? This is a very nice and complex answer, and it satisfies me greatly.

Go Loving And Supportive Dadmare!!

I just asked this on a pretty old post about gooptales, but I thought I would do it here.

You say that nightmare already knows what the end result would be if the boys were trans, so he would either accept them if he knew them as trans already, or redirect them if he knew it wasn't actually the right gender.

Well, what if the adult he once knew was wrong, and didn't have the chance or idea to explore their gender? How would he react then if the skeleton kept saying it as they matured?

Just think about this dadmare version of Nightmare. He sees these idiots as his family, no matter how they see themselves or what they did. The boys are his idiots; no matter what, they will still be his idiots.

He will mourn the old them, as he is already starting to do. I have shown and hinted that he has started to question what it will be like if he raises them.

GoopTales-First Scene of Chapter 5 or Part 17:

"This evening had been nice. They ate dinner together, played a board game, and enjoyed each other's company. But the fact is that his boys were different. As enjoyable as this afternoon and evening were, he wanted the adults back. He even missed the chaos of them. He would know they were alright if they were their true selves again. Additionally, they would know who he was and not be wondering why they couldn’t go home.

(Except for Dust, that one could use being raised by him. A far better option than his actual childhood.)

But even the adult Dust he sorely missed."

Even if they don't have any changes like being or not being trans or having a different sexual orientation, as previously asked, he knows they will not be the exact same as they were before. Their life experiences have changed, which means there will be changes. Regardless, he still loves them, and he will love whoever they grow up to be. He already considers them his, and that will never change.

Knowing that, take whatever scenarios you want and apply. Is the person in question one of his idiots? Yes? Then that person will always be one of his idiots, no matter who they are, change to be, or what happens to them. And to make it clear, if he feels there is a need to guide or redirect, it would be gentle. If he realizes they are correct and he is not, then he will adjust. In Growing Up GoopTales, when it comes to all things involving the gang, he would guide them so they can be at their best.

And most importantly, he will always, always, love them.
