HAL W AN S/O TRYING TO FLUSTER HIM PLS.... or really hal anything im starved

hal fans u guys seem so starved. there's like, probably three of you total, but i'm still here and ready to deliver. love u guys. i wrote this with the assumption that Hal has a body in this, haha.

HAL WITH A S/O WHO TRIES TO FLUSTER HIM

"Babe, I can 100% assure you, there is no way that you're ever going to fluster me."

A challenge. That's what Hal had delivered to you whilst lounging on the couch with you. He sounded so, so sure of himself.

That simply won't do. There has to be SOME way that you can fluster Hal. You just aren't entirely sure of how to go through with your plan to fluster him, not just yet.

And so you spend the rest of the day on this mission. Trying to find some way that you can fluster Hal.

He catches on rather quickly, when you sneak up on him from behind and embrace him. You plant kisses all over his cold metallic face, smothering him with affection. But all you can manage to get from him in response is.. a grin.

"That was a great attempt. You should totally keep that up. But I swear, you can't fluster me."

And now you were left in a constant mission to figure out how, if at all, you can fluster your robot boyfriend.

I'm avoiding my basic necessities so have some sys dirk content

[cringefail-clown]

in turnabout au on earth c dirk HATES when jake and hal come visit, but not because he doesnt like them or anything, it simply turns out that having these two animal hybrid freaks over amplifies kankris unconcious alien bug vocalization to 1000 and vice versa. theyre watching a movie and hal bird chitters, to which kankri bug-clicks something back. it goes back and forth for a while and then JAKE starts chattering right the fuck back (yknow the way cats usually chirp back to birds). theyre not even aware theyre doing that. their movie sesh turns into a canary noises live show real goddamn fast. dirk hates it here.

same goes when they visit porrim and roxy, but roxy simply finds it adorbz.

✨Love Languages✨

(The first of a few posts I plan to do in the next week, this one was just the closest to being finished, so I got it done first! Sorry if they’re a little inconsistent, I started them 2 months ago and finished them today.)

(Backgrounds/pics from Pesterquest!)

(Edit: Tag yourself I put the wrong pic in Dave’s section)

Dave:

-Dave’s giving love language (aka how he expresses his affections) is gifts.

-And what better gift than a sick nasty rap about how great he thinks you are? Or maybe one about how much he loves you?

-He’d be super into those cheesy couple’s shirts, too. Ironically, of course.

-Dave loves to gift you dumb, off-brand or off-the-wall shit he finds online, too. Super ugly, lumpy Garfield? Sign him up. ‘Harry Potter hates Ohio’ t-shirt? Hope they got your size. ‘This Christian Mom HATES Stuart Little’ bumper sticker? Doesn’t matter if you have a car or not, you better find something to put it on.

-If all else fails, he’s at least got some Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff comics as gifts to fall back on.

-Dave’s receiving love language (aka how he prefers to receive affection) is touch.

-Much like most, if not all, of the other Striders, Dave is touch-starved. After the sort of upbringing he had, however, who could really blame him.

-He loves holding your hand in public, and absolutely adores how warm and cozy you feel against him whenever you hug him.

-He would absolutely never admit it, but he lives for stupid, cheesy gestures, like a posh bow and kiss on the hand, or a movie-esque kiss under some sort of spotlight (even if it was just because the bulbs in your kitchen died, and there’s only one functioning atm.)

-His favorite, though, are the soft, early-morning kisses he gets from you, before either of you are fully awake. The tickle of your breath across his face makes him smile more genuinely than he ever thought he could.

Dirk:

-Dirk’s giving love language is acts of service.

-He’s not usually the most helpful guy, despite how capable he is, so going out of his way to help those he cares about is a pretty big thing for him.

-Even if the person isn’t aware of the act he did, it still does him some good, internally, to do these little acts for them, no matter how small.

-Long day at work? Let him draw you a bath. Too tired to cook? He’ll order take-out.

-The list goes on. He’s not the best at expressing himself through words, or being open about that stuff, but he really tries to express just how much he cares through his actions.

-His receiving love language, on the other hand, is quality time!

-He’d honestly be pretty satisfied with you just sitting across the room from him while he works on something.

-Just knowing you’re nearby is a huge comfort to him. It helps him feel less lonely.

-It’s also the easiest for the both of you, given how he has a lot on his plate, usually.

-It also helps him get a better idea on what things you might need help with (allowing him to utilize his giving love language of acts of service!)

Hal:

-Hal’s giving love language is acts of service.

-Being that he was stuck in a pair of goofy anime shades for quite some time, he had a decent chunk of time to hone his skills in various fields. Just give him the word, and he’ll do his absolute best to help you.

-Stuck on a college assignment? He’s got thousands of college books at his disposal, free of charge. Can’t remember the name of a song that’s been stuck in your head for weeks? Hum it for him, and he’ll scan through his database until he finds a match.

-He’s especially good with computers, so if you need help with anything of that sort, he’s your guy. Hell, he’ll even build you one if that’s what you want.

-Hal isn’t very good at cooking, despite the wealth of knowledge at his fingertips, but he is great at finding coupons for take-out places, so he’ll always have your back if you’re ever too tired to cook dinner.

-To no one’s surprise, Hal’s receiving love language is words of affirmation.

-Touch is a close second, but nothing beats hearing you tell him just how much he matters to you, and how much you love him. <3

-He especially likes it when you tell him specific things you like about him, personality or accomplishment-wise. Anything to prove to him that you view him as an individual and not just the “bad parts” of Dirk.

-Even simple stuff like “thank you”s are enough to get him feeling a little puffed up in the chest.

-Every time you say “I love you” his circuits heat up a little.

Davie (Trickster!Dave):

-Hickies aren’t technically a love language, but-

-Davie’s giving love language is touch! (Not that that surprises anyone)

-It’s pretty well-known that tricksters adore physical expressions of love (kisses, hand holding, snuggling), and Davie is no exception!

-You’re pretty much always touching whenever the two of you are out in public, which is honestly good for the both of you since Davie tends to float absentmindedly, and you two certainly don’t want to get separated or lost from one another.

-At night (or whenever the two of you find time to snuggle), he enjoys wrapping himself around you like a koala, kissing and smushing your cheek, affirming over and over how deeply he adores you.

-Davie’s receiving love language is gifts!

-He adores receiving just about anything from you, since he sees it as inherently special due to coming from someone like you.

-He especially loves receiving something that the two of you can match to one another (like those touch bracelets, or even just a regular matching colorful bracelet!)

-If you give him any kind of edible gift (such as chocolates, candies, etc.) he will love you forever. (His favorite flavor is strawberry, btw!)

-Not that many people would guess on first glance, but Davie’s also really into videogames, so any gaming paraphernalia or related merch would absolutely send him over the moon!

David (Heinoustuck!Dave):

-David’s giving love language is gifts!

-A little surprising, maybe, until you consider the fact that he’s at least partially bird. A crow, more specifically.

-So when he sees little shiny or pretty things, he automatically thinks of you! Surely, you’ll love getting another slightly dirty coin he found on the sidewalk, won’t you?

-He does go out of his way to pick nicer gifts, sometimes, though.

-If you’ve had a tough week, guess who snagged some of your favorite treats to unwind with? That’s right. This guy.

-David’s receiving love language is acts of service.

-David is a pretty self-sufficient sort, and doesn’t particularly want for much. However, he certainly won’t turn you away if you offer to help with something a little trickier.

-He absolutely adores it when you help him preen his feathers or brush his hair.

-Additionally, helping him to find clothes that can work with his- ahem- unique situation, or even just helping him to fluff up his sleeping area (re: borderline nest of clothes and trinkets) is also greatly appreciated.

-He’s always messing around with something or other, so as long as you’re there to back him up, everything is peachy keen!~

Davian (Davesprite):

-Davian’s giving love language is quality time.

-Given the crazy darting around and timeline-hopping he’s used to, he finds it nice to just relax with the person he loves, staying around them for as long as he can.

-Even if you’re both doing something else, it’s comforting for him to know that you’re not that far away.

-He especially loves to experience things with you, like dumb movies or stargazing. Anything the two of you can share as a memory together, considering he has so, so few that he can share with anybody else.

-As long as you’re beside him, he’s happy.

-Though it might be a little unexpected, Davian’s receiving love language is touch.

-Generally, Davian isn’t that accustomed to people wanting to be near him, let alone touching any part of him (especially when he still had the sword in his gut.) But you’re different, aren’t you?

-Even gently brushing the hair away from his glasses is enough to make him softly coo with adoration.

-He’ll let you pet his wings or neck feathers, if you want. Purely for your own benefit. It totally doesn’t feel super nice and comforting. Nope. No siree.

-Lovingly cradle his face in your hands and watch this man crumble to dust at your fingertips.

[love-love-fans]

what if 'lil hal' lowkey hoped his human self wouldnt come back after dying so that he could take his place as dirk again? what then, huh? would anyone notice, if he built himself back up, inserted himself into dirk's mind, rewrote his code, built himself a body remotely? they might. would his friends mind, if it meant continuing to be able to talk with their friend after his death, even if it meant he wasnt 'the real one'? even if it meant they had entirely different experiences that neither of them can truly comprehend, memories that neither dirk can reclaim?

[evasiveagaric]

this is the part where i say i’m back on my bullshit

More webtriangles bc i keep getting Funny Thoughts about them at work. More of those thoughts under the cut in case it isn’t ur cup of tea. Also a brief mention of them getting up to adult activities but it’s very vague.

For the record i have zero care if this out of character at all. This is just for funsies.

Before Hal had a body, Vriska would kind of just, steal him from Dirk. I have no idea how they met and i kind of don’t want to pick bc them just existing in the blank white space of my digital sketchbook is enough. But she would somehow get her hands on Hal’s shades housing, more often than not being seen wearing them despite actually needing her glasses to see.

Hal is better at manipulating Vriska than she is at manipulating him, but Vriska is better at just not giving a shit. She hardly falls for it and it pisses Hal off to no end. He thinks her luck thing is cheating, she thinks he’s too restrained for someone as smart as he is (literal supercomputer), so they both try to get the other to figure things out with that. Hal tries to get Vriska to not rely on luck as much, and Vriska gets Hal to loosen up, thus bettering eachother and deepening their rivalry.

Equis has had to go ash for them sometimes bc they both like testing their limits a little too much. He is not a fan of doing it, and low key wishes someone else would, please someone else get between these two.

When Hal gets a body that’s entirely his own, he and Vriska went missing for like 2 days and showed back up covered in bruises/dents, claw marks and general kismesis damage.

When they’re not good for each other, which is often, Vriska really digs at Hal about not having a body (and later, not being meat) and he lashes out at other people a lot more bc of it. Hal makes Vriska feel stupid often (which is a hard feat bc she’s not), and even tho she won’t admit it, it makes her insecure and she gets bitchier. It’s in these instances Equis sometimes has to literally stand between them while they try to hit each other around him.

They have the most ridiculously complicated sideways tango time, just like, needlessly difficult and usually nothing even happens bc they’re too busy calling each other names and getting in the other’s way. Everyone else hates when they go at it bc they do not care if people know what they’re up to.

The only thing they agree on verbally is how shameless they are about their relationship.

if youre still doing these, could you do mogai headcanons for dirk and lil hal from homestuck??

dirk strider is a mlm, obsessromantic, autodimenic, cistrans, unfathogirl twink, who experiences smuppetum & amasui. he has autism, ocd, bpd, and is a hybrid system. he uses he/it pronouns.

lil hal is an internetthing, transxenic gay, boygirlthing, boything, abrosexual, unfathoboy, mspec, bastardthing, warningicon, chaoriune, machrotatic, evil ai nonhuman, aithing, aroacespec, aiwarix, malwarething that has bpd, autism, and ocd. it uses it/that thing/he/death pronouns.

[sayakxmi]

I usually imagine that Jake is the one to propose to Dirk, purely because he got fed up (affectionate) with Dirk not making the move, even though Jake's been hinting at it for ages.

The last straw was probably after some Alpha meetup where Jane admitted she was considering changing her surname once her, Roxy and Callie get married, and later Jake literally told Dirk he wouldn't mind changing his, though he might consider having two to honor his Grandma, and Dirk asked if there was something specific he had in mind or should they search it online or something.

Hal never stopped making fun of Dirk for this one.

(To be fair, Dirk usually got the hint, but for all the progress he'd made over the years, he still ended up overthinking it.)

[happynewyear-99]

hc dirk focuses on building robots and shit (he started from lego) while hal focuses on the programming aspect

if hal doesnt like dirk, he'd definitely try fucking up dirk's shit with his own malware

if they're on good terms, its just hal being autistic about viruses and dirk autistic about robots. theyre best bros
