Bowling For Soup💚

I feel like a large part of the dynamic between Evan Regulus and Barty is how out of pocket and codependent they are, but like in such a chaotic and silly way sometimes. Like for example, Evan and Barty operate on the ‘favorite system’ which is pretty much like treating your mom as base in tag but regulus is the mother in this situation. Like when they get in a squabble or are just being stupid they run around regulus like he’s base and regulus could not be bothered at all. But the ‘favorite’ thing comes in because depending on the day, regulus is much more willing to let one of them slide than the other solely because it’s funny to watch the one not being favored get upset about it. There’s no rhyme or reason to who he picks as his ‘favorite’ that day and they can’t bribe him to change his mind, it’s just a fact of their life that some days Evan can get away with murder and get head pats instead of a talking to or an eye roll no matter what he does while other days it’s Barty that gets the privilege. It’s custom that whoever realizes they’re the favorite is an absolute menace about it the rest of the day. They rub it in the loser’s face in any way they can, and the loser usually just pouts about it because it doesn’t matter and they’ll get a turn later. It’s completely for shits and giggles and doesn’t actually influence any of the threes’ opinions on each other or moods at all, it’s literally just juvenile fun that they take seriously for the bit.
