In this post, I'd like to present to you their updated human and dough forms made for my "Doey Survival AU" + some headcanons about them. Speaking of both topics, they took me a while, not gonna lie, but we're all here now, which is good.
For now, I only have these rough, colored sketches.
Headcanons (continue under cut):
1 ) Jack is right-handed, Kevin is left-handed and Matthew is ambidextrous.
2 ) They’re all water Zodiac signs:
Jack: born on 29th June 1984 (Cancer = the Crab); 8 years old when becoming Doey.
Kevin: born on 14th November 1981 (Scorpio = the Scorpion); 11 years old when becoming Doey.
Matthew: born on 16th March 1977, (Pisces = the Fish); 15 years old when becoming Doey.
3 ) Jack is American with roots from Puerto Rico from one side of his family, Kevin is Canadian-American with Austrian ancestors and Matthew is Colombian-American.
4 ) While Matthew had siblings before ending up in Playcare (one older and several younger ones), Jack and Kevin were both the only child in each of their families. However, Jack would have had two older siblings if Susan didn't lose these babies.
5 ) Over time, they built a very strong, brother-like bond, although the event of Chapter 4 could have easily shattered it.
Both Kevin and Matthew often switch to "overprotective older brothers mode" these days.
6 ) They communicate with each other telepathically. If they want to talk to someone else, they have to write it down, as others only hear unrecognisable, silent, mumble-like sounds coming out of the Doey brothers.
7 ) The Doey boys got so used to each other’s presence that they feel uncomfortable when being too far from each other. They even sleep together in a pile: Matthew sits in the middle, Jack is curled up like a kitten in his arms, while Kevin sits on the left, his head gently leaning on Matthew's shoulder.
8 ) Through the blue dough that's stuck on their bodies, they can consume food (since they have no mouths). How did each of them get these, you ask? Well...:
Jack (blue dough on his hand, ending under the elbow): After Chapter 4 events, as the body started slowly de-freezing, Jack woke up first. He got frightened and in an attempt to run away, his right arm got stuck in a partially defrozen blue dough. Matthew eventually helped him out.
Kevin (blue dough on his left hand and forearm, ending under the shoulder; also some dough droplets on face, neck and both shoulders): After waking up and seeing Jack being afraid of him, filled by guilt and rage (currently turned against himself), Kevin climbed back into the bigger body. While punching the surrounding blue dough (to release his negative emotions), his left arm got stuck in the material. As the blue body started defreezing even more, some of the dough fell on his face, neck and shoulders. He and Matthew helped each other to get out before the blue body could fall and trap them inside.
Matthew (blue dough on his legs and lower part of belly; also some dough droplets on face, neck and both shoulders and arms): Waking up as the last one, Matt first freed Jack’s right hand before entering the bigger body to rescue Kevin. There, his legs and lower part of the belly got trapped in the partially de-frozen dough + some of the material fell on his face, neck and shoulders. After some talking with Kevin (who was still trapped and gradually calmed down), the two of them worked on helping each other and eventually got out before the blue body could fall and trap them inside.
9 ) They can still fuse into one body that’s similar to the original Doey (Jack and Kevin discovered that unintentionally): the body is grayish-darker blue with dirty blue freckles, arms and lower part of the body, has visible scars, lacks mouth and has three pairs of eyes (Jack's are the highest, Kevin's in the middle and Matthew's are placed the lowest).
They're also significantly smaller (OG Doey had 9’5” or 287.02 cm, while this current form is only 7’5.5” or 227.33 cm tall) yet faster than the OG body.
In this form, they call themselves “Shadow Doey” or “Phantom Doey” (both of these were Jack's idea).
10 ) Their current goal is to find the way out of the factory, possibly to take some friendly toys with them, and build a New Safe Haven somewhere else… somewhere safer, where they could settle and live without cruel people hurting them again.
Kevin: “*Ahem* Let me add something. ‘Both Poppy and that former employee are permanently banned from New Safe Haven we are planning to build in the future. We have to make sure they won’t find it, so we’ll do our best to avoid bumping into them again. Also, after a thorough discussion with Matthew, we decided that if necessary, permanent elimination of Poppy and the employee is allowed.’ That’s all I wanted to say...”
