TG: no theyre upstairs fighting over that goddamn puppet again

TG: wish i could say i was surprised but they throw down over that hunk of felt and horrors every other week its like two stray dogs tearing apart a stuffed duck

TG: theyre about two minutes from a tussle over the thing so i got like an hour before it becomes my problem

TG: if im lucky theyll rip the thing to shreds and i wont ever have to see those beady eyes bearing down on me from the couch again

TT: Perhaps a custody agreement would benefit them?

TG: jesus no

TG: theyd start playing mind games about it and by the time they got anything meaningful charted out bro would assume hal is tricking him and hed probably be right about it

TG: besides custody agreement makes it sound like theyre the dolls divorced parents and thats not even remotely whats happening here

TT: Oh?

TT: Feel free to enlighten me.

TG: you know what

TG: forget about it

Bro absolutely gives him a weird puppet adjacent look. Ball joints, the lines on his mouth, the rosy cheeks, and while Hal resents the whole ‘cutesy’ aspect of it he does lean into the creepy aspect. And also the “””hot””” aspect seeing as he and Bro are fucking weird about puppets.

He’s Bro’s height, immensely unsettling, and Bro looks at him with massive heart eyes every time Hal kicks his ass because he’s being thrown around by a lifesized puppet self.

Funniest course of action is Bro does not tell Dave about Hal’s existence prior to the body. Dave knows sometimes when he messages Bro it feels weird and different, but chalks it up to his fickle moods and maybe a Mind Game. And then one time when he’s 17 Bro starts holing up in his room WAY more than usual(already a Lot,) and then 1.5 yrs later there’s just a.

Fucking. Robot in his home who knows who he is. Surprise new older brother(??)

he is large and avoids most people/is kind of two faced but the second he sees dirk he is in Harassment Mode :tm:

also just because:

i fixed big halbun

and drew lil halbun

This will only be funny to me but to I’m okay with that. the holy trinity of bullshit. never put these guys together in a room.
