ALRIGHT EVERYONE DAVE IS REAL AND IN MY HOUSE!
I had some vague interest from people wanting to know how to aquire one of these fuckers, so I’ve made a (slightly jank) tutorial on how to make one of these yourself! (instructions and materials below)
Materials are mostly self explanatory, but the chalk is for drawing the pattern on the felt, the glue gun is for attatching the mouth, eyes, and security badge to the plush, and the wire is to go through the body/neck/head so his head isn’t floppy. ALSO you’ll need scissors to cut the felt out (forgot to draw that lmao)
This is the pattern to draw out on our lighter felt for the head and body! This is specifically for Dave, but if you’re making Jack you can adjust the proportions on the body to be a bit shorter and wider. These are in centimeters because I am not American.
Cut along these lines, you can cut out each panel but I’m lazy so this works just fine.
You’re kinda turning these into cubes, think of it like one of those paper maps you probably made in elementary math class. Fold along the lines and use a whip stitch to attatch the pieces together AS WELL as stitch along the chalk lines-- that will make it look like you actually cut all the panels out and define the different sides.
should start to look like this! Make sure to leave one side open so you can flip it inside out!
Once it’s inside out, you can stuff it and use a ladder stitch to close the last side. I reccommend leaving a shorter side open so the ugly stitch is less noticable.
Once you’ve cut out the mouth, eye, and badge shapes you can glue them on!
Here’s where it gets. a little jank so buckle up!
This is the general pattern for the arms, legs, and neck. You’ll have to futz and adjust it... a bit because I am not stellar at making patterns, but this is good to get ya going!
This time cut out each panel
Also to note- If you’re making Jack you do not nead that much neck lmao
OKAY sO for stitching, this time it’s less straightforward. For the legs I folded each rectangle in half (Ugly side out!) and just stitched along the edge to make a tube
Kinda like this
Then flip it inside out, stuff, and fold and crease it to look like a foot using a whip stitch. To extra secure it I did a ladder stitch along the top to keep the foot upright
Then just pull the thread tight and boom you got a leg. Repeat that on the other leg and now he can walk.
Attatch it to the ass with a ladder stitch (and also secure it along the top with another ladder stitch to keep him in a sitting position if you want)
Now for the arms
So this is probably the most jank part of the tutorial. For the arms I ended up adjusting the pattern I had cut out to look more like this.
Then you just kinda
fold and pin it to get a boot-like shape. Use the extra fabric you cut off the bottom of the arm to make a little oval for the palm and then stitch it all together (leaving the top open). Then flip, stuff, and attatch with a ladder stitch!
mans kinda built like an Ugg boot.
Lastly the neck is literally just a tube. If it’s Dave make it long. Just stitch along one side and leave the two ends open so you can put the stuffing and wire inside. Now for the Wire! To make sure it can’t puncture through the felt, bend the ends to look like this
Now to run it through him just take some scissors and snip two lil holes, one at the bottom of his head and one in the middle of the top panel of his body and have the wire go through his body, neck, and into his head. that’ll make his neck bendable. Then just attatch the neck with a ladder stitch and you have your man! For Dave just bend the neck into the desired potition aaand you’re done!
And if you follow the steps carefully you should end up with this mother fucker in your house!

can't stop thinking about the plushies in knight terrors either
and specifically i do think tim is someone with pretty intense object empathy and what this made me think of was, like, tim at one of Jason's awful bare warehousey-safehouses and something that strikes him is that jason doesn't have any creature comforts and he thinks back to his own bed and he just. decides. he's gonna give jason a dumb little plushie. bc i think tim is someone who feels tangibly less alone with one, and while he's aware that jason probably doesn't feel the same way, it'll at least make him feel better about thinking about jason spending his nights in this place.
and jason is so BAFFLED by the gift bc yeah he doesn't really have that emotional response with toys but also. like. no fucking takebacksies. like it's meaningful to him just bc it WAS a gift, he doesn't really grasp that it was tim seeing how lonely jason was and wanting to alleviate some of it by doing something that would have helped him. and i think months and months down the line its going to dawn on jason what tim was doing and why and he's going to have to have a little cry about it

Jack’o Moon!!
I just wanted to show how he handled losing his creator (Mom) in my au.
He took the cereal to give to his cat plushie, he knows it doesn’t and can’t eat but the sense of taking care of something that his creator gave him helped a bit.
He doesn’t feel he can go to anyone because he’s meant to be a bodyguard and only focus on protecting who he’s ordered too.
Sad boi.
