I am looking with big curious eyes, please tell us about your beta!Hal
i have literally jut made him up within the last fucking ten minutes but like hear me out
with how fucked up bro is from direct lil cal influence for his entire life (RANCID vibes) i am thinking about a younger bro/beta!dirk convincing mom/beta!roxy to let him use some of her crazy science shit for whatever reason in like the 90s or whatever and beta!hal is still a ghost imprint
just like this branch-off of 14-15 year old bro is contained entirely within bro’s stupid website
who is dirk when he *was* influenced for 15 years by satan but then is suddenly just completely clean and has sudden unlimited (looking) access to the internet (you KNOW bro is feeding him shit and he can SOMETIMES look at other websites but he’s not allowed to interact or turn off the stupid puppet site in his mind. just the most convoluted shit bro can come up with to fuck with this AI. or maybe whatever he views is through some shitty filter)
slightly less fucked up at first (a Child) but quickly deteriorating by the internet poison and the constant puppet shittery and then atp of the start of homestuck i genuinely think hal is plotting to fucking kill him but the meteors get hal first (rip)
