HC (in the “the sides are filming the series and playing parts for dramatic effect but are actually all friends” verse):
Patton gets giggle fits during filming more than any other side, and the others make a game out of getting him started.
Logan is the best at it, with his absolute dry sense of humor and wit:
Deceit is probably the second best at getting Patton into a giggle fit. Apparently Patton finds dry/sassy humor to be very amusing (probably because it’s different than his own bubblier brand of humor). All Deceit has to do is pop up and make some snarky comment and he can get Patton going. They’ve had to ban him from shoots before because he won’t stop getting Patton to laugh.
Roman and Remus (the goofball twins) just make him laugh with physical humor. With Roman it’s usually dramatic but silly stuff:
but with Remus it’s usually just absurd slapstick style humor (popping up with a chicken on his head and pretending it’s not there, doing a nonsense dance for no reason, taking prat falls, just utter 3 stooges style nonsense)
Virgil is a little different. He may not have the dry sense of humor of Logan and Deceit, or the goofy physical humor of the twins, but all Virgil has to do is make one simple pun, and Patton is pretty much on cloud 9. It can be the most deadpan thing ever, but it makes Patton’s day.
So yeah anyway the “Sides as actors filming the series they helped write” is my favorite HC and I will die on that hill, and this is one of my favorite HCs within that HC. Patton is a giggle monster and when he’s gone he’s gone.
