#All at the edge of a universe doesn't have Halt put you in a dress

[diantheia]

Hey, just a little ask— why there's a headcanon about Halt has things for dress/dresses?

Like- i just find it little bit hilarious.

Btw how are you?

I'm fine, thanks for asking. Just about getting over my cold, just the deep chesty cough really left.

Anyway, Halt's dress kink thing.

I'll preface this by saying, a lot of things/headcanons/ideas I write have some basis in canon. This starts with the Halt's cloak ugc. So, Halt has a cloak, we can say Halt made it, therefore conclude Halt is into textiles and sewing and such.

Frail pet is the first Halt oneshot I wrote, and plot wise I wanted it to have Halt keep a human as a fragile little pet, almost like a porcelain doll. So, Halt puts you/the reader into a dress they made.

The second is Small problem. Two things happened whilst writing that one which is what kinda lead to the whole 'Halt has a thing for dresses'. Firstly, you/reader was shrunk down. When I was writing that, I happened to think to myself: "you know, it's kinda weird how (excluding media that actually explain it) if a person is being shrunk on a molecular level, their clothes shrink too. That's not part of their body! They should remain big!' and that lead to what happened in the fic: you/reader shrink, clothes don't. You're tiny and naked. Secondly, we get to when you/reader is caught by Halt. Halt clearly wouldn't want to keep you naked forever. So, using their textile skills, they make you something simple to wear for the time being. Anyway, brain struck again with: "Halt would arguably go for the simplest design if they intend to get you better stuff to wear later/wanted to make something fast. That's a dress! Think about it, you only really need a tube dress, no sleeves, only have to stitch too ends of a fabric together and boom! Dress! Quick, easy and covers all modesty!" and that's why a dress was made. I realised after that that both my Halt oneshots feature Halt putting you in a dress and was like "Man, I either gotta stop doing that or make it a running joke" Consensus was to make it a running joke, so here we are.
