I went on vacation for a week and didn't have access to Tumblr only to return and immediately discover Dr Pine's twin brother and The Count's brother have become An Item. I am somehow captivated by this development.
The Counts brother who is on screen for. Maybe three frames of an episode and does not have a name or a personality and Dr Conifer Pines twin brother who barely gets mentioned in the grand scheme of the story but is so incredibly important to Dr Pine

I have had the worst time trying to focus at work thanks to your mysterycount ship. So you know what? Here you go. I have no idea if I'll finish this, and I have no clue what to do with it. Nobody tell my boss I was hiding in an aisle staring at toothpaste writing puppet ships instead of focusing on my job.
You!" Ervin far too harshly. But he was met with an infernal grin (the same one haunting his dreams, the same one that stained his eyelids every time he blinked). "You have something that belongs to me."
"Do I?"
Ervin spluttered for a moment before pointing at the bracelet adorning Pal's wrist.
"Oh this?" He laughed and it was rough and tickled at Ervins senses. "Nah, this was just a lil' something I picked up."
"You stole it!"
"That's a hefty accusation," Pal smirked, "but I don't think this," he held up his arm and twisted it, "is what you're actually mad about. No, I think you're mad because I took something else."
Ervin wasn't blushing. He was absolutely not thinking anything other than getting back his bracelet. Very pure thoughts up there indeed. His mind was a steel trap, solely focused on that bracelet.
"Tell ya what, since yer cute I'll buy you a drink."
"Oh really?" Ervin said rolling his eyes, "And with who's money?"
Pal flashed him a wicked grin full of promise and something else, "oh it's all on you dollface."
"You…you can't call me that!" His voice was a near shrill squeak that could have shattered the windows.
"But I can steal your wallet? Good to know."
CACKLING
Yessssss MysteryCount my beloved! I really do need to write more for them 😩
Also, Ervin being susceptible to Pal's rizz is hilarious to me, I adore it! And Pal just straight-up teasing Ervin when confronted had me giggling. Pal telling Ervin that the stolen bracelet is "just something he picked up" is EVIL in the best way (Murray is either a horrible or great influence depending on who you ask lol).
What was this "something else" that you took Pal, huh? Ervin's sanity? His ability to string together a coherent sentence? His heart? All of the above? Regardless, they are adorable and I and here for any and all morsels thrown my way.
Thank you so much for writing this 🥺 here's a small snippet for you!
“No. No. Definitely not! Nope.” Pal listed off in quick succession as he pulled various shirts out of his closet only to toss them over his shoulder when they didn't make the cut. Three quarters of his wardrobe was already on the floor behind him, his desperation to find something acceptable to wear growing as the clothes in his closet rapidly dwindled.
“Ah-hah! Perfect!” Pal announced triumphantly as he held a patterned button-up aloft, practically skipping over to his full-length mirror –carefully picking his way through the sea of clothes that littered the floor– in order to hold the shirt in front of his torso. The pale pink and white shirt complimented his green fur, though the patterns on his shirt would make it the center of attention.
Pal excitedly shrugged out of his plain orange t-shirt and shrugged into the button-up, fingers deftly fiddling with the small buttons. With his top taken care of, he turned his attention to the dresser, rummaging through it for a pair of tan khakis. Once he’d found and donned his chosen pants, he went back to the closet to peruse his not insignificant collection of fanny packs.
Maybe white? Or tan! Green?
“Gosh, who knew being back in the dating scene would be this hard?” Pal sighed, cupping his face with his hand as he tilted his head, struggling to make a decision. Perhaps he needed a second opinion? Conifer and Murray were downstairs last Pal checked, though they were both occupied with their own respective activities.
Surely they could spare five minutes to help him get ready for his first date in… wow. It’d been a while since he’d left the house for anything other than an outing with Mabel and Dipper. His last serious relationship had been back in highschool. And, understandably, romance was the last thing on his mind after he lost Conifer to the portal.
Suddenly, he was seized with the urge to see Conifer home and safe, which spurred him to snatch the white fanny pack, clipping it around his waist as he hurried out of the room. He jogged down the hall and turned the corner to head down the staircase that would bring him to the ground floor only to collide with Murray, sending them both down the steps and into a pile of limbs once they reached the bottom.
“Sorry Murray!” Pal laughed from his sprawled position below the older puppet, who was looking more annoyed than usual as he rolled off of Pal and stood. Murray fussily brushed himself off with some muttered insults and complaints that lacked any real heat, the older puppet looking away as he grumpily offered Pal a hand up.
“You don’t sound or look sorry.” Murray said blandly as Pal accepted the help with a huge smile, getting his feet under him. As soon as he was upright, his grip on Murray’s hand tightened so he could use their clasped hands to drag the older puppet into a crushing hug, eliciting a startled sound from Murray that was followed by hissed protests that Pal blatantly ignored.
“Murray? What are you yelling about–” Conifer asked as he poked his head out of the living room, cutting himself off when the answer to his question became apparent. Conifer’s face immediately lit up and he all but scrambled out of the living room to join them at the bottom of the staircase. Conifer circled Pal with visible enthusiasm, taking him in before coming to a stop beside him.
“Pal, you look amazing!” Conifer exclaimed, clapping his hands, and Pal couldn’t help but match his excitement. And now that Pal had eyes on his brother, relief washed through him, the fear of finding an empty and quiet house steadily easing the longer he basked in Conifer and Murray’s presence.
“Aw, stop! I just threw something together.” Pal drawled, his smile turning sheepish.
“Put. Me. Down!” Murray demanded with all the vitriol of a disgruntled cat, squirming in a futile attempt to free himself.
Dude again, LOVE your mysterycount, and when I saw your AMAZING animations, I knew I had to draw SOMETHING for you, so here it is!! Also wrote a small Drabble for ya. The stars were beautiful tonight as Pal sat next to Ernest. But the stars were really only a second thought when it came to beauty, Ernest’s eyes glowed in the moonlight, face glowing wonder. He really was beautiful- oh no. Ohhhhhhhhhh no no no no NO. He is NOT in love. Nope. Nothing of the sort. Not with his laugh, or his eyes, or his rediculous vocabulary, or how he can be so cute when he gets flustered or how knows so much about moths, but nothing when it comes to puppets, or- shmup. “OH GOODNESS, MY BROTHER IS IN LOVE WITH YOUR BROTHER” Dr. birch whisper yelled as he and the count spied on their brothers. “Really? I thought it was the other way around” whispered the count back. “ it’s obvious! Look at his smile and the way he glances at him!!”
“ but look at the way Ernest is smiling and blushing!!”
“ oh good gravy, they’re in love with EACHOTHER”
“ but those two are TERRIBLE at flirting and knowing someone else if flirting with them!”
“ we NEED to help them”
Oh wow, that's so fucking sweet! Thank you so much!
Pal is Dr. Pine's brother, not Dr. Birches brother. That bitch is dead and burnt. (I got them confused too, don't worry <3 the puppet lore is strange, if you'd like to know about them more I suggest going to @aroace-get-out-of-my-face or @tinfoil-jones pages)
Hey saw you had another puppet pair going on with MysteryCount. Question: how did that happen, and did Birch discover The Count had a brother after any potential weddings and now he's loosely related to Dr. Pine through his inlaws
Oh Dr Pine has been considering Birch as his grumpy older brother basically since he met him. Birch was forcibly adopted (see: Kidnapping) and has basically been a brother since the minute he got hefted sideways baby, diaper bag and all into Pine's dimension
MysteryCount is a fun one. It happened because a dear Countbirch wedding brought together two younger brothers who enjoy mischief and bad jokes to an embarrassing degree. @nowimjustastranger is the captain of this ship, and the writings are. Absolutely adorable
