" whoa, whoa — slow down there, buckaroo ! "
the kid is shaking like a leaf from excitement, rod can't help but chuckle, hand moving to the boy's shoulder to steady him. orel's heart's gonna burst from his chest if he keeps up the enthusiasm !
rod listens on as orel continues his elated rambles, face dropping for a moment at the mention of his mother — he hopes he won't be getting orel into any trouble. though given the puppingtons' behaviour towards orel, he doesn't imagine anything like that would happen. if anything, it'd likely have the opposite effect.
he notes the hesitation before addressing him, eyes slightly crinkled as his face softens once more. laughter slips through voice as his brow quirks, hand still resting on the boy's shoulder.
Tumblr media
" oh - ho yeah ? hm, guess ' first supper ' is another ' big f, ' isn't it ? " smile spreads across features further as he imagines the scene ... minus jesus, of course. they'd already figured out the holiest breakfast, rod prays that figuring out a first supper wouldn't be too out of his cooking territory.
" well, i can't make any promises it'll be as fancy as the ' last supper, ' but i'm sure we can think something up. got any ideas ? "
Tumblr media
Quite  content  to  stay  in  the  embrace  he  makes  no  effort  to  move  away  until  Putty  does  .  He's  rarely  experienced  being  held  in  return  by  anyone  really  .  Other  than  his  late  Grandpa  .
When  the  minister  of  God's  holy  building  pulls  away  Orel  leans  back  too  ,  to  stare  up  at  his  face  . 
'  Well  ,  I  know  I'm  not  the  greatest  cook  ' 
Orel  ,  perhaps  ,  shouldn't  agree  with  that  statement  with  the  nod  he  is  giving  Rod  yet  he  does  .  It's  not  to  say  that  his  little  heart  doesn't  swell  at  the  idea  of  being  invited  to  have  dinner  with  the  Reverend  and  his  small  family  . 
The  way  the  offer  is  presented  to  him  only  makes  it  all  the  more  appealing  . 
Tumblr media
❝  FIRST  SUPPER  ?  Me  ?  With  YOU  ?  And  NOELLENE  ?  !  And  we  get  to  eat  together  like  a  family  and  I  can  say  grace  and  thank  God  for  the  mediocre  food  and  for  allowing  me  to  have  another  big  f  in  my  life  ? !  ❞
The  kid's  so  exhilarated  that  he's  shaking  like  crazy  .  The  only  thing  that  puts  a  small  divot  in  his  excitement  is  ...
❝  Gosh  ,  I'll  have  to  tell  Mom  not  to  bother  making  me  dinner  !  ❞  Yet  he  thinks  he  can  manage  it  .  She  probably  wouldn't  bat  an  eye  when  he  tells  her  he's  having  dinner  at  the  good  reverend's  house  .   
❝  I'd  really  ,  REALLY  ,  like  that  ,  -  ❞  Dad  ?  He  hesitates  not  because  it  wouldn't  be  nice  to  call  someone  other  than  his  spiteful  biological  father  that  ...  it  just  felt  heavy  ,  not  bad  .  The  word  is  associated  with  a  lot  of  pain  but  it  can  be  undone  .    ❝  Reverend  Putty  !  ❞

anonymous. Why are you bald
" I'M NOT BALD ! look, see ? " he pointedly gestures at the grey hair beneath his toupee. it may not be much, but it's still there nonetheless.
Tumblr media
" very real hair !! "

GET TO KNOW THE MUN. respond to the prompts out of character!
Tumblr media
what made you pick up the current muse(s) you have ?
at first, i had gained interest in rod from seeing a comparison of him to another one of my all time comfort charas (glenn harod.) when i found out about him and stephanie, i cried at the thought of a middle aged protestant reverend accepting and unconditionally loving his butch lesbian daughter without any preaching to her, it really solidified my interest in him as for making this blog, it was a combination of my wife @dollene encouraging me and being very excited for it, and i will shamelessly say i was excited about the potential of writing with @moralpuppet now that i had a newfound appreciation for orel and sav's writing of him ♡ ♡ ♡
is there anything you don’t like to write ?
i'm not the best at writing heavy angst these days, i have to take breaks on stuff that's super intense or it can get to me a bit. i also only rly write nsfw with @dollene / discuss nsfw topics with ppl i'm very close to ^^
is there anything you really enjoy writing ?
i love writing mundane scenarios a lot ! seeing characters in each other's daily routines, exploring mannerisms, etc. love that stuff !
how do you come up with headcanons ?
analyzing what i'm shown and going off that + my own experiences i've either lived or seen. headcanons are very fun to make bc i ADORE analyzing people and figuring out how they think, talk, move, etc. i could spend years analyzing characters (and i have,) it's a huge passion of mine
do you write in silence or do you play music ?
it depends ! since my mind is always constantly making noise anyways, i like to have some level of noise to quiet that part and let me focus. sometimes it's music, but i also enjoy listening to slime asmr videos, voc.aloid (as i can't understand the lyrics most of the time,) random videos / movies, or animals making noises. lately i've been writing listening to wrinkle the duck
do you plan your replies or wing them ?
plan plan plan ! in general, i'm a huge planner as is, and that comes into play with writing too.
do you enjoy shipping ?
to a degree ! every character i've written as of late has been exclusive to one other character and interpretation (usually just writing it with my wife,) and i do enjoy it very much ! but in terms of casual shipping that's just in general a no-go
what’s your alias / name ?
theo, though in the past i went by mothman for several years
age ?
24
birthday ?
october 28
favourite colour ?
oranges, greens, yellows and browns
favourite song ?
i don't have any technical 'favourites' atm, but i love kiltro and glass animals a lot as artists
last movie you watched ?
shrek 🫶
last show you watched ?
i'm almost in a continual state of rewatching m.oral or.el tbh
last song you listened to ?
rev.erend putty is a babygirl .........
favourite food ?
i've been loving making paninis lately ! i also love macaroni with tomatoes and smoked gouda, yum yum
favourite season ?
autumn ! i've always been a big fan of the fall since i was a child, though i've also been appreciating spring a lot too lately
do you have a tumblr best friend ?
many of them ! so many that i've dedicated a portion of my personal neocities to have a little friends section, which of course includes @dollene as my bifey and my lil puppet family ♡

tagged. @moralpuppet ily sav !! tagging. @itsposabule, @dollene and anyyyone who wants to

he yawns, a bit late to today's sermon as he overslept.
" sleep. it's one of the best things God's ever created. i mean, who doesn't like just closing their eyes and not having to think for a few hours ? heh, i know i do !
" now, i've had more than my fair share of sleep, believe me. and while it's great and all, i think there's a few design flaws. we all know that if you sleep less than you're supposed to, you're more tired. but if you sleep more than you're supposed to, you're also more tired ! what's up with that ?!
" if i sleep all day, i think i should wake up feeling more energized, not feeling like i got dragged through the mud. it's like a sleep hangover ! then you get a headache, and then you need to sleep it off, yadda yadda yadda … what a nightmare. and i'm not even talking about nightmares !
Tumblr media
" … but for what it's worth, it's got its perks. for the first time in my life, i actually get to wake up next to someone. every single morning !! makes you not wanna get out of bed, i'll tell you that.
" so whether you leave this church and go back to bed, or decide to stay awake the rest of the day, cherish this day of rest. amen. "

" friends ... though it's long since passed, i trust that you all had as pleasant an easter as i had. that weather was a bit of a doozy there, i hope you all stayed inside, away from the snow ! even if a certain ... dedicated someone didn't. "
the congregation turns towards orel.
" aa - aanyways. speaking of snow, let's hope we won't have any more of these little kerfuffles. all this weather can't make up its mind. i don't think God quite gets the memo here — we're already well into spring, the weather's gotta start reflecting that. it's bad enough i have arthritis, it acts up every time it snows, and gets warm, and then snows again ... blegh. it's sick !
" i mean, God doesn't have to worry about the weather. it's always sunny up there in heaven. all He has to do is sit back, relax, and watch the rest of us squirm down here. i think He's got a bit of a surplus of good weather, don't be greedy now, share it with the rest of us ! for hoot's sake, it's not ' april snow showers !'
Tumblr media
" is a little sun really that hard to pass up ? you already took it out for a day over here ! so much for the rapture … "
he sighs.
" let's just hope that the spring brings us a bit more warmth, and brings it fast. the clock's tickin', some sun would be nice on my achey joints before summer hits and it gets too hot to stand, amen. "

the phrasing makes it clear this other man was, in fact, not among the so - called ' God - fearing ' people of moralton. genuine frown was on the reverend's face as he spoke.
" well, yes, it's — " he watches on as the man bites off the head of the chocolate rabbit, speech temporarily faltering. " — i, uh. well, i was going to say it's the most important day, thank you very much. though it seems you don't have the same opinion ... "
Tumblr media
voice trails off at the end, eyes remaining on the strange man. eyebrows raise for a moment as his head tilts, a subtle arrogance that spells but maybe you should. he takes a hold of his own chocolate cross, taking a small bite of it. he tries to not let the more plastic-y taste of this particular chocolate twist his expression too much.
Tumblr media
rvrend: rod vc: don't be such a stiff rvrend: rod vc: you should eat a chocolate cross, sourpuss
Tumblr media
upon  the  mention  of  a  cross,  his  mustache  twitches  and  his  mouth  turns  downward  in  a  frown.  it  seems  the  good  reverend  is  testing  his  tolerance  today  …  nonetheless,  after  a  moment  passes  his  expression  changes  just  as  quickly  as  it  appeared.  he  had  to  keep  up  his  polite  appearance,  after  all.  he  couldn't  let  on  how  bothered  he  could  get,  now  could  he?  
he  plastered  a  fake  friendly  smile  on  his  face,  eyes  gleaming  in  the  light.  
"  no  thank  you,  the  rabbit  will  do  just  fine.  "  
Tumblr media
he  grabs  a  small-sized  chocolate  rabbit  off  the  table,  looking  at  it  in  his  hand  with  the  same  fake  smile  on  his  face  before  eying  the  reverend  once  again.
"  ..  it's  a  busy  day  for  all  you  God-fearing  people,  isn't  it?  "  
of  course  his  tone  has  a  very  off-feeling  to  it  despite  his  thin  veiled  fake  sincerity.  he  bites  the  head  off  the  rabbit,  still  staring  at  the  reverend.

" as you all know, today is easter ! the most important christian holiday, that sets us apart from everyone else. i left you all hanging last week, with jesus dead in the tomb. heh, i bet you've all been dying to hear what happens next. eh ? see how i did that ? "
there's a long, awkward pause and no one laughs.
" anyways ... you all remember how i left you on the edge of your seats last week, waiting to hear that final twist. what did they find in the tomb ? well, folks ... they didn't find anything. guess the easter bunny forgot to leave something in this basket.
" now what does this mean ? well — that, my friends, is the whole reason behind christianity. it's why we're here in this protestant church ! you see, this isn't a sad story. sure, jesus may have died, but that's not the real focus here.
Tumblr media
" for you see, a miracle happened on that day. jesus, rising from the dead ! this would mark the start of a new beginning, for jesus and for all of us here. a new beginning, just as jesus rose. and just like all those pretty little flowers popping up, these new beginnings are all around, hiding in plain sight. even this easter's been much better than last year's, i'll tell ya that much.
" so just open your eyes, look around and wouldn't 'cha know it ? you might just find some new beginnings too. amen, and happy easter. "
