#I need more research. and ichor

[jazzy-flowerr]

Ok - and I think I've heard people theorize this before - but what if the reason Dandy wants tapes so bad is because watching his cartoon is the only thing keeping him from turning lethal?

He's heavily implied to be obsessed with the past, such as when Connie says that all Dandy talks about with Astro is just old episodes;

So what if it's the reminiscing about old times that keeps him a toon?

And when he doesn't get any tapes the first couple of times, he starts to show visible distress/impatience as well as showing signs of turning lethal [i.e; the red dots in his eyes]

Which, yes, could mean that he's becoming lethal because he's getting desperate, but there's a chance that it could mean he's getting desperate because he's becoming lethal. If that makes any sense.

[existence-is-a-pain87]

A quick drabble as I try to escape the Writers Block I was trapped in:

They Hear You

Yandere!Self-Aware!Dandy's World x Reader

Warnings: Obsession and other general yandere behaviors, swearing

--☆☆☆☆☆--

They weren't entire sure when the first heard you. Nor were they sure why you were the first one they heard.

At that point, they had all long since become used to 'Players' in the 'game'. Using their bodies and facing against twisteds. Some people played many runs a day. Others used their bodies for 'roleplays'.

They were painfully familiar with all the copies of them that existed. Them being made to say things as their God created more. Tweaked things about them.

They always knew they were never real. But when they heard you?

They felt real.

Oh, so real.

You spoke. Often blabbling to yourself, unaware they could hear.

Even if they didn't remember the day they first heard you, they remember exactly what you said.

"Dang it, everyone's gone... I'm so fucked..."

And all of them heard. Even if many were not on the floor, they all heard.

And then you left. Shortly after dying. But before that,

You kept talking.

Babbling to yourself, asking Finn to leave you alone so you could complete that last machine, and giving up when a blackout occurred.

And when you rejoined the game later?

They heard you again.

--☆☆☆--

Everyone's reactions were different.

Some, like Boxten, were initially skeptical of you. Others, like Rodger, were curious. And even more, like Goob, were excited.

Shrimpo was angry.

How are they able to hear someone now? How dare it be you! HE HATES YOU!! HE HATES THAT HE LOVES HEARING YOU SPEAK, TOO!!

Shelly wondered if you liked her.

But none are as interested in you as Dandy is.

Oh! How she hoped you liked dinosaurs! What's this? You're wearing a dinosaur hoodie for good luck? Wow! You do love dinosaurs! You two would be great friends!

Glisten was surprised when he learnt how much you liked him.

He's your favorite? Well, why wouldn't he be! And look at you constantly trying to stay around his Twisted self. How sweet of you! Don't go leaving him now, though...

What's this about a 'Dandy Run'? Are you trying to ignore him?

He hates it when you don't buy from the shop.

So his stock is bad? He'll improve it! Huh- stop calling him 'Baldicus Baldifer' already!

He's the first Toon that falls in love with you.

The others are quick to follow.

--☆☆☆--

Soon things about your game start to change.

First they're weird, but small. Almost unnoticeable.

Like Twisteds being significantly less aggressive. Targetting anyone else you're playing with, seeming to do anything to avoid damaging whoever you're playing as. And if you do aggro them, they seem to lose aggro almost instantly.

But they do stay close. And never aggro on you when chasing the others.

Once you played Brightney and tried to get the Twisteds to aggro on you instead of anyone else.

It didn't work.

Then the changes get more noticeable.

You mention wanting research for a toon? Suddenly, their Twisted is on the next floor! And the one after that! And they're on there until you're satisfied!

They just want you to be happy.

Do you need a heal? Well, Dandy's shop is now selling both band-aids and medkits! And the next floor has a whole bunch littered about!

They don't want you to go. Go on, speak some more. They love hearing you talk.

You soon started to notice these changes. Often voicing your confusion. Especially when you started to get tons more ichor and research than ever.

Then the incident occured...

--☆☆☆--

It was a day not too different from any other.

But you were complaining about how every attempt at a Dandy Run failed, how you were just desperate to encounter him to complete the unlock requirement for Astro.

And Dandy heard these complaints. And he was annoyed.

Do you hate him? Were you trying to ignore him?

Then he realized it was just your silly little completionist brain.

My, aren't you just a silly thing, dewdrop! Had him worrying there, hehe.

So he decided to solve this little problem for you.

It didn't take long for the entire team you were with to be wiped out on the earlier levels, much to your disappointment. This wasn't even a Dandy Run, just your average Main Hunt.

Just ignore how the Twisteds were all rarer and weirdly aggressive...

And when you remarked about how you were going to die soon, it took everything in Dandy for him not to just jump out and tell you to wait a moment for his surprise.

Then, the elevator opened up to the next floor. And Dandy nearly grinned when the Toon you were playing ceased to move.

The floor was littered in research. Clearly over 100 capsules at least. And roaming past? A Twisted Dandy.

Immediately, he heard you start panicking. Wondering how he spawned despite the fact you were consistently buying things from him.

So you quickly just started collecting research, barely noticing how Twisted Dandy didn't aggro on you. Just roamed nearby. Always staying close.

Then you got confused how this floor had well over 100 capsules of Dandy research. It took one floor for you to have enough research for his trinket.

But this incident weirded you out. You were concerned your game was hacked. You didn't want to get banned.

So you stopped playing.

And they were NOT happy.

Thankfully, they figured out how to reach out to you in other Roblox games.

And Roblox just so happened to have your phone number for voice chat...

--☆☆☆--

The texts seemed to never end.

Questions of why you left. Begging you to return. Offering you anything you want to come back.

You kept blocking the unknown numbers. It didn't stop the texts.

You thought you were hacked.

And you soon decided to reply to one of these texts once to beg them to leave you alone.

Didn't you like my surprise?

You questioned what the surprise was.

Well, you wanted to encounter my Twisted form, yes?

This isn't Dandy.

Who else would he be other than Dandicus Dancifer himself?

You told them to leave you alone.

Come back to the game first and the texts will stop, dewdrop.

Why should you trust him?

Why shouldn't you?

--☆☆☆--

You returned to the game.

You don't know why. You're desperate and rather not change your phone number or Roblox account.

Even though you probably should've just deleted Roblox.

Oh well, you could just do it after this, couldn't you?

You think they'd let you go that easily?

Upon loading up, you spawned in one of the elevators on a private server you never bought.

They love you.

You had your classic Roblox avatar.

They're not losing you.

You began asking questions, demanding answers from the game.

They love you they love you they love you.

You didn't get a response.

Love love love love love love love love love love love.

They were all in awe.

Because, finally, after so long...

They could see you.

𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐘 ㅤ＼ 𝓙𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐃 ’n shazam!reader

♡ · REQUEST — Could I please request a Jason Todd X Shazam!reader? Reader has the same powers and Shazam and she looks damn good in her suit, Jason and her are the chaotic couple everyone in the Justice League and their side kicks are jealous of, and they get fan edits made of them lmao

⊹ 💬 · my knowledge of the Justice League is vvv limited so i apologise if they’re a bit to ooc, i did all the research i could to fully understand this req (forever a tattooed jay truther so don’t mind the moodboard lol)〟

ഒ DIRECTORY⠀’N⠀RULES.

Before Jason, the Justice League headquarters felt isolating for you. Which sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?

You, who’s blessed with the gifts of gods from the very mountain of Olympus. You, a hero intertwined with the same golden threads that make up demigods. The world could be so small under your fingertips—wisdom, strength, stamina, speed and courage—you’re supposed to have it all. And somehow, it feels like you keep nothing at all.

Being at the top of the world is truly a lonely feeling. You experience it everyday with the other heroes between these walls. They don’t necessarily do it on purpose. You’re just so painstakingly different. Off. Something they haven’t dealt with before.

Before Jason, that is.

You’ve had lightning dance across your fingertips, bend to your will and strike along the sky for you. But Jason Todd was something else. Something else with his sharp sea-green eyes. Something else with his stupidly charming grin. Something else with the way he’d find you every time in this labyrinth of a building and untangle the knots in your body with his quips, mean and handsome face, sparkling eyes—he is thunder in front of you—unbowed, unbroken, unshakable, perfectly imperfect and for some reason he’d started directing his stupidly charming grins at you.

Wandering the halls with your shoulders stiff, walk hurried, eyes cast to your feet and nervous of every word said to you—never mind if it was kind—was a draining ritual you bonded yourself to.

Falling for him was too easy. It was natural how you’d seek him out too. It spurred you even more when there was a flush on his cheeks after seeing how you’d call out his name in a crowd of other shining heroes. You two got drunk off of each other like the very presence of one another was ambrosia—golden life ichor sent by the gods.

They’d truly blessed you this time. You’d never give this up. The way the relationship you two had actually grew into a real relationship. How you’d have your hand in his and he’d trace circles on your palm and how he’d kiss your shoulders and fingertips, claiming you needed to be taken care of. He understood that isolation. Jason Todd understood and changed it all to a fairy tale.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

Even now, sitting with him in one of the many common rooms the headquarters has, bodies pressed close, head on his shoulder and his arm playing with a strand of your hair. His head is tilted back against the cushions, a rare, soft smirk on his lips as he mutters something that makes you laugh quietly.

He smelled like smoke and leather and warmth.

You could’ve stayed like that forever.

It hadn’t dawned on either of you that the relationship wasn’t exactly public yet.

Most of the League is returning from a late mission. They’re tired, soot-streaked, and ready to debrief and crash. The doors slide open with a familiar mechanical hiss as Diana, Barry, Hal, and Bruce step in—talking quietly among themselves.

But the chatter halts.

You two absolutely, undeniably comfortable. Domestic, even.

And in public.

Barry stares wide-eyed, as if there was a comically big light bulb above his head that just lit up.

“Are you guys—? Wait. Is this—? Are you two—?”

Jason didn’t even look up. “Took you long enough.”

“Seriously?” Hal sounded like he was choking. “You’re dating Red Hood? Jason Todd? Are we just letting anyone into cuddle territory now?”

You sighed, not moving. “He passed every test I gave him.”

“I barely passed,” Jason added, smug. “Or maybe I’m just effortlessly charming.”

“Are you kidding me?” Barry blinked between the two of you. “You’re like—lightning bolts and golden capes! And he’s—he’s literal Gotham crime trauma incarnate—no offense.”

“None taken, I guess?” Jason said, finally glancing up. “We make sense in a messed-up but perfect way.”

There was a pause. Even Diana didn’t say anything at first. Just observed them, the way you leaned into him like it was the most natural thing in the world. The way Jason’s hand never stopped tracing soft, lazy circles on your side.

“You look happy,” Diana said after a moment.

“I am,” you replied simply.

That was something you were sure of. The happiest, the purest joy had threaded itself into your being when you were with this man.

Diana nodded once, apparently satisfied. “Then that is all I need to know.”

Bruce was silent. No one expected anything else.

“Still feels illegal,” Hal muttered, grabbing a drink from the nearby fridge. “Like, morally. Cuddling with Jason Todd in the Watchtower.”

Jason gave him a lazy grin. “Then close your eyes next time.”

“I am texting Clark,” Barry announced. “Power Couple status: officially threatened.”

You finally cracked a smile. “Tell him we’ll duel him and Lois any day.”

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

Seeing you two cuddling on the couch was a shock. But fighting side by side? That was truly a sight.

The ground shook with the force of the blast. Smoke curled upward in jagged columns as buildings groaned, half-toppled. Civilians were still evacuating, but the League was already deep in the mess—and so were you and Jason.

Jason reloaded without missing a step, ducking beneath a burst of plasma that barely missed his head. “Three on the left, armored. One's got a cannon.”

“A cannon, seriously?” you deadpanned, eyes glowing gold as static crackled along your skin. “Cannon first?”

“Cannon first.”

You launched into the sky with a thunderclap, a streak of white lightning behind you. The cannon-wielding merc didn't even have time to flinch before a bolt ripped through the clouds and slammed him back into the earth, smoking.

Jason whistled low. “Damn. I don’t think that I need to tell you how attractive that was.”

“Focus, Hood.”

“I am,” he muttered, firing three quick rounds into the knee joints of the other armored targets. “Deadly attractive and helpful.”

Roy and Kori are perched on a broken wall, watching as Jason and you tear through another group of enemies with terrifying precision.

Roy let out a low whistle. “Okay, I’ll say it—hot.”

Koriand’r smiled brightly. “They are very passionate! It is nice.”

Back on the ground, Jason threw a smoke pellet, vanishing into the haze just as another unit arrived. The moment they were disoriented, you flew in from above—fist-first—sending shockwaves that scattered the troops like dominos.

Then came the lightning—pure, radiant energy arcing from your hands, guided by Jason’s markers, precise as a sniper.

He appeared beside you again just in time to catch your elbow, steadying you.

“You okay?” he asked.

“Never better.”

Jason grinned. “Then let’s end this.”

Been a while since the last time I made concepts about Boxten's and Poppy's befriending ability so Imma add more-

Once you befriend a twisted; not mattering whether if they're a common or main, Dandy will stop appearing in the elevator. This can be a real pain especially if you wanted to do a Dandy run or needs to buy something from his shop therefore, befriending twisteds will have a huge downside; one if you're willing to risk

If either Boxten or Poppy ends up having only one heart left; the twisteds will scare away any lesser twisteds off to avoid the two dying. But if you befriended either Sprout or Cosmo, the two will give you your hearts back

Speaking of Cosmo... I'll go on with what the uncommons and commons can do once befriended!

Uncommons

Brightney can be provided as a light source in blackouts and highlight items and twisteds that are nearby. She can be helpful if you ever have trouble moving around in the dark

Finn can lead you to the nearest incomplete machine for you to extract, if he detects another nearby machine; he'll leave a trail of ichor for you to follow. He can be helpful if you have trouble finding the machines especially if on a huge floor

RnD can boost either your movement speed or extraction speed depending if it's a odd or even floor; if odd, your movement speed will increase and if even, your extraction speed will increase instead. They can be helpful depending on the trinkets you use

Rodger can highlight research capsules along with what the capsules has the twisted research of, upon collecting research; you'll gain 5% research and if encountering a twisted with Rodger on you will grant you 20% research. He's hella helpful for collecting research for a certain toon

Teagan can grant twice the amount of tapes once you collect them, often going to the locations of the tapes. If you befriended Sprout, she's quite helpful

Toodles can give you a random boost depending on your situation. If extracting, extraction speed boost. If in a chase, movement speed boost. If a twisted is closing in on your hiding location, stealth boost. If you like gambling and trying your luck, then she's your go-to

Connie can lead twisteds away from you along with increasing your stealth, keep in mind that she cannot lead main twisteds away. If you ever end up finding a machine, she'll possess it and help you by speeding up the extraction process. She can be of help if you're not the greatest at hiding or sneaking around

Commons

Shrimpo can stun twisteds if one ended up hurting you, depending on the twisted determines the time limit of how long they'll be stunned for

Tisha will leave puddles of ichor on a spot of the floor, the puddles of ichor will slow twisteds down if they stepped into it

Cosmo can heal you if you're at one heart but this can only work if you have teammates; as Cosmo would go to the nearest player and take one heart of theirs to give it to you

Looey can drag you away if he detects a twisted's presence, also dragging you to a machine when he finds one. He can be of help when getting away quickly

[the-s1lly-corner]

Dandys world toons x Twisted!Reader who fights another Twisted to protect them please and thanks

Rodger, Toodles, and Sprout x Twisted!Reader who protects them

only got two more fics left to do for the monthly october batch i gotta lock in so i can at least have a two week grace period before june i fear the burnout is starting to sink in notes: gn twisted reader, TOODLES PART IS PLATONIC, technically theyre all platonic/up in the air save for her part, i just had an idea for toodles that was like. really sad, short and bittersweet, post game, youre only partially there mentally cws: mentions of injury and body horror

RODGER

as sucky as it might be his first thought was to figure out why you were different than the other twisteds- sure one could argue that some of the twisteds carry their old habits from.. before... but they all chase and cause some damage. you were the first to attack a fellow twisted

of course theres some hope that youre still in there somewhere but the risk of trying to bring you into the elevator is too great a risk- if he were doing a solo run though... he might just take that chance... whether for research or for your companionship and possible recovery

it does make him more... reckless... and persistent in his runs for the sake of answers, he doesnt become a total fool but hes definitely not playing it as safe as he did before. not that he was the panicle of safety when it came to himself anyway

TOODLES

genuinely has hope that your fighting back is proof enough that youre still at least okay enough to come back to the higher floors- and shes definitely going to try to convince the rest of the group to let you come with

no one wants to take the chance in case your defiance was a one off and you were going to attack them at any second. no one wants to make a kid cry but theres nothing that can be done to soften the rejection of toodles' idea

they have to pull her away from you because she refuses to leave your side. its even uglier if you were a parental figure to her prior to your twisting

SPROUT

he wouldnt lie and say the thought of trying to heal you didnt cross his mind. but can he realistically mend your broken up body? youre dripping ichor all over the place and you look like youve been mangled

absolutely torn between taking you back up and the need to ensure the protection of the other toons that are still around. it kills him on the inside but he has to leave you behind all over again

feels like it would be easier if you just let him get hurt. hes... conflicted. hes going to be thinking about it for so so long- likely until he twists himself. even if the twisteds somehow get fixed and healed the fact he left you behind willingly is going to be in the back of his mind forever

[shimp-the-not-understanding]

The medic that everybody needed the most. She always come ready to help others, no matter what the problems is, she do her best. She'll give it a full 100% and more. All to help others and gain some recognition as trust worthy and a perfect to befriends with.

For her information's, She's a nautilus. The aquatic nautilus, the cool looking aquatic creature. She's a marine biologist and a paleontologist. But in this case, she's also a medic. Being in Wasteland, many needed medic and tending to wounds and finding cures and medicines, creating medicines out of herbs or what ever they got. She become to great at it that she considering on changing profession from researcher into a nurse.

She's very kind and generous, so generous that she would sacrifice her own life for another. Even when she couldn't run very fast or defend back for herself, she still gives everything to others. Thinking that she owe them and considered herself the most useless toon out of the most. What fueled this feeling of self doubt more into is her ichor tolerant are average. at least. And she know, how painful the progress is. She remembers and is thankful that it didn't reach phase two in time because she know she would've died back there.

I did a doodle @fizzyboy (sorry for the mention) But she be pushing herself very hard and do most work for the group for sursies.

She be a very chatter box around Shelly, talking a lot about dinosaur, prehistoric critters and fossils. She considered herself closed friend to Shelly and have a slight crush on Shelly. But she know that Shelly probably have a special spot for someone in her heart, so she kept quiet and respect her. She will always be by her side and help her what ever she could With Brightney, she got along very well since these two are book worms and doing researches, sometimes together while another time, she overworked at nighttime while letting Brightney take over in the daytime. Although both are overworked, I could guess that they would try to force one another to go take a break or rest to recharge. With Razzle and Dazzle, she felt the most heart broken for the two. Knowing the two, especially Razzle having a very hard time in this Wasteland then any she know. These two, are a fuel for her determination to push herself to research more to find the cure/antidote to help them. But even then, when ever she got time, she always pay them a visits with what ever healthy snacks she got or drinks to make sure they are alright and feeling not alone.

she would so own a bone saw and this could happened when ever the adrenaline kicks in. Only when she needed to save someone life.

Joyride (Glisten x Reader)

AN: Oh you mean Glisten? Glisten who is literally one of my favorites? Glisten who I played as for a whole month straight regardless of anything? Glisten who I babysit no matter how impractical my toon is for it? That Glisten?

...SAY LESSS

This was a request, so thank you anon!

Look out for MBC pt 6 later tonight by the way! It's almost ready!

☁ Oh my sweet sweet baby boy Glisten. How I love you and your insecure butt.

☁ First off, I need to say this, but you're probably a holiday toon. Now, HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT-

☁ Maybe not christmas, and I know there aren't any Valentines day toons, but IMAGINE. Valentine's day is such a pretty holiday, You're all already gorgeous don't worry! <3

☁ But Glisten? With a V-Day toon?! RAHHH

☁ Very much a love at first sight Toon. Now, HEAR ME OUT-

☁ He's canonically a lot little egotistical and often focused on himself and himself alone, but when he see's your twisted pop up? Nearly runs into a wall. If that's your twisted form, he could only imagine you're normal form.

☁ Rodger later calls him out for this and he has to play it off like a champ.

☁ He knows that all the toons are working super hard to get the research done and the original toons cured and back to normal, but if he works a little harder when he knows you're on the floor? Well...that's no one business but his own.

☁ Rodger is a huge help with this, even after their...admittedly tense relationship (Lol exes.) and before he knows it, you're back to normal, slowly being introduced to the routine of things.

☁ since he's not a main or a specialist, he's given a bit more leeway to stay behind and help ease you into everything. He helps set up your room and mends your clothing if need be. If you need it, he's more than happy to help polish/brush/mend you so you're back you're pristine form.

☁ He's thankful for being a mirror honestly, because in an effort to show you you're newly refreshed form, he's able to admire you feeling like yourself. It looks much better on you than any physical thing he could possibly gift you.

☁ Now, he's down bad. Like I said I feel like he falls hard and fast.

☁ He constantly is looking for ways to show off in front of you, even if it means accidentally hurting himself or overworking himself as he's bound to do.

☁ He needs to achieve perfection in your eyes at all time, and it takes a little while before you're cluing in at last and gently asking him if it was something you had done.

☁ He's quick to reassure that it's nothing on your end and you are just as perfect as the day he first met you. (Sans ichor)

☁ It takes time and patience, but he will eventually open up, bit by bit. He's a prideful toon, so give him time. It's like a wild animal. Stay gentle and soft when discussing these kind of things with him and in time he'll grow comfortable with the uncomfortable and slowly express how he's feeling.

☁ Bro is a huge words of affirmation person, but that's a given. You know what else he is? Acts of service. He canonically wears makeup, so if you carry around smaller version of the products he uses for quick touch ups? He's swooning. If you take the time to pull him behind a crate or something, fixing his bow before sending him on his way with a kiss and smile? He is a mess.

☁ He is not slick about being a lovesick buffoon. He thinks he is. The other toons have a silent agreement to let him think that.

☁ He shows his love in so many ways.

☁ Physical touch? Done. He loves keeping a hand on you at all times whenever possible, always touching or adjusting something on you or pressing pecks to your cheeks whenever the urge strikes.

☁ Words of affirmation? There is not a time where he does not shower you in compliments at all times. He's constantly praising you no matter what you do. Extracting? You're just as good as he is! Distracting? You give those twisted the run around like an angel, don't you know? Walking around collecting research because doing machines sucks? Good, you can join him. Why should you need to dirty your hands at all?

☁ Acts of service? He'll do machines for you, no ifs, ands or buts about it. He's constantly picking up more of your preferred product whenever he notices it's almost empty, Food is brought to you if you're caught up in a project and he'll help you do your routine if you're too tired to do so.

☁ Quality time is also huge for him! He evidently has some abandonment issues, so knowing you're there, within arms length, of him at all times? It makes him so relaxed and puts him so at ease. It's one of his favorite things in all honesty.

☁ Gift giving/ receiving? Also a favorite of his! It never has to be something big either! You once gave him a rock that you thought was super cool and he's kept it on his desk since you've given it to him. He also got you a rock! An engagement ring surprise! LOL IM KIDDING He would not yet. No, he went outside of Gardenview one night, scouring for the perfect rock, finding a heart shaped one that he deemed perfect.

☁ You keep it on a shelf near your bed.

☁ Yk, by penguin standards, you guys are married. Just saying.

☁ Now, his twisted form.

☁ The first time you both encounter it, he wavers just a bit, worrying you'd feel disgust at what was essentially the worst part of him personified.

☁ But you didn't. You're hand entwined with his and held tightly, dragging him away from it when you felt him tense.

☁ "I'm sorry you feel that way." You offer, gently playing with his fingers. He didn't say anything at first, holding onto your hands with both of his. "I promise I'll never abandon you." You try next, eyes wide and wet.

☁ The promise, as sad as it sounds, makes his lips upturn before he's pressing his lips to your knuckles. "Oh my jewel, you're too kind. I know it is you and me until the end of our days." He returns the promise, hearing the three dings of the machines and the call to get to the elevator and quickly. "Come now, you don't want to be nearby when that final machine is finished."

☁ He momentarily ignores your questions, knowing you'll see it first hand, directing you to the elevator. When your both a few steps away the final machine dings and the telltale shatter cracks the sharp silence alone with the cry of agonized pain, screaming "Your LEAVING me?!"

☁ He rushes to get you inside the safety the elevator provides, seeing Flutter quickly use her ability to get away. His twisted self is right behind her, sprinting only to slam onto the invisible wall that miraculously separates them from the Twisteds. You gasp in horror, finding recluse in Glisten who angles you away from the door.

☁ The twisted doesn't care though. As a clone of him, he recognizes you immediately, fists clanking against the wall as it absolutely wails. "You can't leave me! YOU CAN'T-" It practically screams, rearing up to slam on the wall again before the elevator finally slams shut, Connie slipping in while the twisted is distracted with you two.

☁ You're shaking from where Glisten holds you, making him swallow tightly at the thought.

☁ But as usual you are just perfect. "He seemed so...scared." You mention, and those aren't the words he expected.

☁ "Out of everyone, I was able to fight the effects of the Ichor the most. But, even I as perfect as I am, fell victim to the way it made me feel when I realized everyone was leaving. I didn't have anyone to grasp onto to keep me tethered to this world." He admitted, watching Flutter kick the lever to bring them back. They had gotten what they came here for.

☁ "That's terrifying. I'm so sorry." You whisper.

☁ "Don't be. I have you now afterall." He grins. Truthfully, it was scary back when he was a twisted. But now? The only thing that scares him more is losing you.

☁ And He's got no plans on doing that anytime soon.

[COSMO - RARE TWISTED]

Okey, I KNOW some people already made this idea (found out while I was working on this), but I really wanted to make my version of it so let's go!!

Well, I decided to rework a bit Twisted Cosmo because I personally never understood why he is a common one to begin with. And also explain how his ability would work!

This will be a PRETTY long blog with a lot of yapping, so if you're actually interested in the "AU", keep reading!!

ASKS ABOUT HIM ARE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!

Alright, let's start by explaining a bit about him.

"He believes he's helping others, but his healing method doesn't work like before. This twisted, separated from his best friend, walks around looking for people to heal with hearts that block any healing items and causing random effects for a few seconds. Be sure to never be spotted without full health!" - Research description.

During a blackout, Cosmo got lost and was forced to separate from his best friend Sprout and had only one heart left by the end of the process. When arriving at the elevator, he noticed Sprout having a hard time with a twisted, and he also had one heart. Knowing that his stamina was low at the moment, Cosmo does something he never did before: He used all his strength to remove his last heart and give it to Sprout, saving him from a fatal attack. Sprout made it to the elevator, but Cosmo couldn't say the same. (I want my Fruitcake angst y'all, or else I'll cook it)

We aren't sure how exactly toons became Twisteds, but for the sake of this "AU", Dandy decided to use Cosmo as a way to test something new: An ichor heart in a non main character toon. This heart made Cosmo stop from dying, but it causes him A LOT of pain, since his chest is opened and the ichor causes physical pain. He still has some conscience inside of him, but the ichor stops him from acting like how he used to and makes it more difficult to talk. His body and head are full of bites, like the twisted that was haunting Sprout tried to eat him before. His arm is way bigger and heavier than before, but he doesn't mind much because he is pretty strong around his arms, but it surely brings some extra pain for his right side.

Deep down, he just wants to help other toons, but he can't realize how he isn't capable of doing it in a positive way anymore thanks to the ichor.

Yes, I know, only main characters have sounds to show that they're nearby, but I want to add that if Cosmo is extremely close of you (in the same room or in the next room), you're capable of hearing his ichor heart beats, which are fast and loud. Like this, players can escape from him in case they are in a dangerous situation.

ABILITY:

(I saw a video called "swap au" on YouTube and took a bit of inspiration from it, but I changed it to make it a little more interesting!)

Twisted Cosmo's ability is inspired in his Toon's active: Heal others, but with a reverse effect.

If you have all your hearts, Cosmo won't follow you or harm you, he will keep walking because he doesn't want to hurt anyone (something like Glisten) and because he knows you won't need any heals. At first, it's like he won't even do anything at all.

However, if he sees you with 2 hearts or only 1 heart, he will grab his ichor heart from his chest and start chasing you, with the intention of throwing a heart at you and "help". His attention spam is a little longer (3.5 s) and his speed increases from his canon twisted form, but his eye vision isn't the best since he doesn't have one of his eyes, so he can't see you from extreme distances like Shrimpo.

If he catches you, your empty heart slots will be filled with a weird "ichor heart", similar to main characters. As his description says, the heart will block any kind of healing, so things like Teagan's active, medkits and bandaids won't work at all. Along with that, you'll get a random effect for 10 seconds from the I category (like "Confused I", "Slow I", "Tired I"). After the attack, Cosmo will no longer follow you because he thinks he finished his job there. (Distractors you're all screwed🔥)

And plus, you can avoid his attack if you heal yourself BEFORE he can heal you.

Another ability of his is being able to know when and where a player got hurt. Let's say you have 3 hearts, but you got a hit from Shelly in "x" spot. In this scenario, Cosmo will immediately go to "x" spot no matter how far he is from the place. If you manage to leave where you were before he arrives, good! If not, Cosmo will chase you to give you an ichor heart. Sounds "inoffensive" at first, but depending of the situation, it can make your life pure hell.

If you have 1 regular heart and 2 ichor hearts, Cosmo will no longer care about you during that floor because it's impossible to get another hit without dying, leaving you in a vulnerable situation for any complicated twisteds like Pebble or Goob. That's why I like to call him the very first twisted that won't kill you directly! I wanted to play with the fact that he's a supporter as a toon, so why not make a "supporter" twisted whose job is make your gameplay harder?? Maybe a new type of twisted?

"Will Cosmo also follow you if all machines are done like Glisten?" I'm still unsure of it, but to keep his "support" role, I suppose he would just accept his fate of being alone, because at least he can "help" others. (I WANT FRUITCAKE ANGST!!!)

How do you remove the ichor hearts? Again, still thinking about it, but just like Shelly's "Confused" ability, the effect should be gone once you reach the elevator. I thought about leaving the effect for 2 floors, but I dunno if this would be too OP or anything, so you can decide on this!

Now congratulations! You know who is twisted Cosmo and how to survive to one of the most annoying Twisteds ever!! /jk

I suppose that's all for now about him! He's still in development, but this is the main idea of him and his abilities!

And don't worry, I will be sure to cook some good old angst with this concept. Hope everyone enjoys it!!

ASKS ABOUT HIM ARE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!

[eternal-aster]

Ok so I've had this idea for an au(?) where the toons are twisted in the ways of other twisteds, if that makes sense. So if (random example) Rodger was twisted like Finn, Rodger would have the same mechanics + stats as Finn, and he'd lose his legs and mimic any other changes Finn went through when twisted. Just because Rodger is hypothetically twisted in the way Finn is, doesn't mean that Finn has to twist in the same way as Rodger. I've drawn a couple of twisteds so far as a sort of "proof of concept"

(click the art for better quality)

Glisten -> Shelly

Twisted Shelly has that sort of "you CAN'T forget about me now" kinda look on her face, and I felt it worked with Glisten because he likes attention. My idea on how being twisted affects a toon mentally is that it takes one of the toon's worst/most prominent personality traits, and exemplifies it in some sort of horrible awful terrifying way. So, while regular Twisted Glisten's need for attention is exemplified into a deep fear of being alone, This AU Twisted Glisten's need for attention is exaggerated into a vengeful sort of craving for attention, of any kind, which he usually seeks out in the form of fear. Being feared registers in his fucked up little twisted brain as the same as being adored. He has the same mechanics as Shelly - high speed, low attention span, applies confusion 1 to all toons on the floor - which I feel fits him. If the toons do machines slower, then they have to deal with him for longer, thus giving him more time in the "spotlight."

Sprout -> Rodger

While making this, the main thing I was thinking about was how, when playing as Sprout, the only thing on my mind is tapes, and how Sprout mains go absolutely BALLISTIC on anyone who picks up even a single tape (rightfully so imo). That feeling of thinking that you have to hold everyone together, because you have the ability to make hearts out of thin air; that stress, is mainly what inspired this. Basically, sprout is BEYOND fed up with other toons taking his tapes, and disguises himself for the sole purpose of seeking out "greedy" toons who are out to steal "his" tapes. He's filled with nothing but RAGE at ALL times. He has the same mechanics as Rodger - hiding as (an object), using a long-range attack, short detection radius, hiding if left unbothered for long enough - except he hides as fake tapes instead of research capsules. His attack animation isn't an eye laser, but his morphed, ichor-ified, tentacle-tail-scarf thingy. Not sure I'm too proud of the fake tape design, but they don't really have to be perfect, just recognizable from a distance.

Let me know if you have any other cool ideas for this AU of who to swap! I already have a few in mind 😈

[dandysworldhcs]

throws vee at you very fast

anyways have a bunch of head canons for her because she is silly

-she is very catlike in general. Doesn’t like being touched if she doesn’t like you, enjoys scritches, watches ominously, sits on the arms or back of couches, smacks her face into things if she likes them (this applies to other Toons), and her TV antenna and mic tail behave like a cat’s ears and tail

-she has autism and misophonia, which is part of her blunt behavior, tendency to come off as rude or sarcastic, and why she doesn’t come to Teagan’s parties. -as shown with brightney, she finds other Toons with intelligence easier to deal with, but she still has issues with conversation.

-wants to talk to Shelly (she knows a lot about dinosaurs, but she would always like to learn more) but has no idea how to start a conversation with her

-can and will physically escort someone off her game show. She doesn’t need security if she can just pick the others up

-is more electronics than creature, basically just a computer with ichor cooling instead of water cooling. doesn’t stop her from having emotions.

hopefully this is a good sacrifice. i would like to ask for your blessing again, because i am sick and i would like veesearch

-Anomaly Cereal Anon

By the power granted to me from the modlings. I grant my blessing to get the research for the televeesion. (And hope you get better soon! Thanks for the headcannons!)

[existence-is-a-pain87]

MONSTER AU AS I TRY TO CRAWL OUT OF WRITERS BLOCK!!! (Haha ima totally hate anything I write for this BUT I NEED TO TRY MY BEST!!)

Here Be Monsters

Yandere!Monster!Dandy's World x Toon?Reader

Wanrings: Obsession and other general yandere behaviors, gore, blood, swearing

IMPORTANT NOTE: I do not own all the monster versions of the Toons in this! Fxnn the Fishbowl and Faceless Shrimpo belongs to KC99 (marsol2099 helped create Fxnn though). I'm just using them in this AU because I think they're cool, hope yall don't mind. <3

Also, if yall don't want to create a special Toon for the reader in this, feel free to just use my OC Endri (ima make her the canon protagonist in this because... eh I'm too lazy to create a reader-centric Toon rn, hope yall don't care too much). (Also yes she shares my name, she's a self-insert <3)

Furthermore, I'm planning on this to be like a Part 1 where not all Toons are showed. You wanna see more of this? Then request a Part 2 or smth, idk. Hehe.

--☆☆☆☆☆--

You've been stuck in that basement for 20 years.

It wasn't like the depths of the facility you were used too, as a scrapped Toon. You were used to roaming around, being made to help out with the handlers and human employees with moving equipment or helping clean up spills of ichor.

But after your Incident? After you drowned in that... Ocean of Darkness?

...they put you in a basement you learnt was made for Dandy. Because they thought you were a Monster.

And you believed them. Why?

Because you weren't a Toon originally.

No, you used to be a human. You died in a car accident, and was reborn as a Toon.

Why?

Probably for some sick and twisted beings' amusement.

Because the Toons were obsessed. Whether romantic or platonic, it did not take them long after meeting you to show a crazed obsession with you.

Yet they contained themselves, to an extent. To the point you could call them your friends.

But you haven't seen them in 20 years.

You were painfully used to the small series of rooms that trapped you in. Allowed you to dwell, and remember your life as a human. Allowed you to learn how to return to the form of a Toon from your giant Twisted form, and to return to that form at will.

You learnt how your eyes had little white pupils at all times now, and would turn red when you got dangerously close to turning unwillingly.

But you learnt. You had to.

...

It was easy to figure out when you were abandoned.

You weren't angry. You knew Gardenview shut down at this point, you played Dandy's World when you were human. It probably shut down shortly after they locked you away and no one could find you.

It was fine, you didn't die. The ichor within you forcibly kept you alive, despite years of starvation and tons of dehydration.

You managed to break through a wall enough and find a pipe, and through a stroke of luck you managed to break it in a specific way that allowed water to come through, so the dehydration issue was solved.

But god, you were hungry.

You did try to ration your food, but 20 years is a long time.

After the food ran out and you broke the wall, you turned your focus to the door.

It was heavily reinforced, more so than the wall with the water pipe.

It took practically 15 years to break through.

15 long, grueling years.

And when you finally got through?

You turned back, desperate to not scare anyone, and immediately began hunting.

No other Toons knew of the little research facility within Gardenview they were born from. You did, though. And you scrounged for food.

Thank whatever evil deity that did this to you because there were tons of canned food that were designed to last this time.

You were never more grateful the cans of soup lasted over twenty years until they expired. You ate tons of canned soup that day.

And the next day. You were bringing that soup with you, you were not starving anymore.

You refused to starve again.

You had a plan. One to leave Gardenview.

It would mean reaching the top, but you could do it. And you could get out and form a life outside of thie facility.

Why?

Because you learnt how to turn into a human.

--☆☆☆--

Your initial plan was to try the elevator.

Unfortunately, it seemed to almost... lose power and plummet down.

Thankfully you survived, but you knew you had to find a new elevator.

You remembered the mines. Even lower down in the earth than your prison, but filled with five generators that would power a backup elevator in emergencies.

...you did not like roaming through these empty depths. You found and grabbed some random items on the ground, and kept going.

When you found that first generator, you quickly booted it back up. It wasn't hard, you've done it before.

But when it booted back up the power, you heard someone.

"What's that? Someone's here?"

You paused, looking back from where you stood in front of the generator.

"It's been a long time since I've sea-n someone..."

Finn..?

"Oh. You must be apart of those lunatics that did this to me... I'll make this quick."

...what?

...

You acted quickly. You knew the implication behind those words.

But... lunatics? Why did he assume you were not a Toon? What even happened here?

You knew better than to stop and dwell right now. You just ran.

But dammit, your stealth was never that great.

And when you saw him?

...that wasn't Finn anymore. A chunk of his head was gone, one hand had large claws, and he carried a bloodstained axe.

...Why was his head leaking blood, though? And why would he charge at anyone with an axe?

You knew he wouldn't kill you, but you were immediately scared you'd kill him if you entered your Twisted form.

So you just ran, your feet thudding against the ground. And he chased.

God was he faster than before, and laughing. Why was he laughing? Why was he taking joy in the idea of hurting another?

What happened to the Finn who would crack fish puns at you and ask you to take care of Barnaby Wilikers when he was being taken away somewhere for a bit.

Then you drowned.

...was this where he was taken? And they did this to him?

...wait.

WAIT!

You still have Barnaby Wilikers on you, don't you? You cleaned off all the ichor from him and kept him safe and close.

What if..?

"GO AWAY!" You yelp out, pulling out Barnaby Wilikers and gently tossing the toy fish at...

Fxnn. That's what he is now.

Barnaby lands square in Fxnn's bowl, staying in neatly despite the damage. Immediately, Fxnn freezes and reaches into his head, giving you a chance to get away and find a new generator.

"...How did you get him?" You hear him ask, "How?!"

You don't dare respond, focusing on the machine. You hear him mumble to himself, but can't make out the words.

"...did you do something to them?"

...uh oh.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?!"

OH SHIT, YOUR PLAN BACKFIRED.

Did he think you weren't yourself? How couldn't he piece together that this was you?

HOW BLIND WAS HE?!

You quickly fixed the machine and bolted, right as Fxnn charged in, readying the axe to chop off anything from your body until you died.

You kept running, didn't dare to stop, as you desperately fixed machines.

You fixed four by the time he cornered you.

"There you are, you bastard..." He breathlessly says, "Haha, you're a quick one, you know that? Reel hard to catch... but no more games. I'll kill you for what you did to them, because there's no other way you'd get Barnaby Wilikers..."

"...Finn, are you fucking blind?" You blurt out, "Like, how? How do you not recognize me as a Toon? I'm fucking tiny compared to a human! I'm not a human!"

He freezes, eye widening as he lowers the axe.

"...Angelfish..?" He weakly croaks out, sounding almost relieved yet even more terrified, "Is that... you?"

You quickly squirm away, managing to avoid the hand he reaches for you with.

"Stay back!" You yelp out, shaking a bit. You were terrified something would go wrong and you'd hurt him.

"Angelfish-?" Fxnn asks, looking panicked when you start running, "Angelfish, WAIT!"

He kept calling for you as you fled, searching for you as you rebooted the last generator and got the spare elevator running.

"NO! NONONO!" He roared out as you made a mad dash, "GET BACK HERE! I'M NOT LOSING YOU AGAIN!"

...How long as Fxnn been down here? As long as you were imprisoned?

How could they do this? Why could they?

You becoming a Twisted was an accident. This had to be on purpose. There were no machines of blood, unlike the pit of ichor you drowned in.

...You got an idea.

You didn't need to take an elevator, necessarily. Your Twisted form was primarily ichor, not to mention huge. You could climb into the vents and clamber through like you were Yatta.

So as Fxnn reached for you and you got to the elevator, you hopped to the side and shoved Fxnn in there.

He stares at you with a wide eye, and you sheepishly grin back as the elevator slams shut and starts going up.

You wheeze a bit, horrified by what you just experienced, but just want to leave.

So you go into the vents, and start climbing through.

Completely unaware of Fxnn's shaky laughter, his broken mind thinking you sacrificed yourself for him for some reason, and his desperation to see you after seemingly losing you again.

Cod, he loves you.

--☆☆☆--

You didn't know Yatta would be in the vents.

Or... what remained of Yatta.

It started with you seeing dark ribbons in the vents, randomly laid over each other, some knotted together.

You tried to ignore it and keep moving. Ignoring the faint clanging you heard in the vents you swore wasn't you. You tried to ignore the feeling of being watched that came later, and the feeling of being followed.

Then, you found pieces of ichor-stained candy wrappers in the vents.

When you paused in your crawling to pick one up, you heard a quiet chitter.

It made you tense and move a little quicker.

And made what was following you quicker. And giggle.

Then you felt a hand grab your ankle. You squeak and glanced back, seeing Yatta.

Her head was bashed in, one eye hanging by a tendril of ichor, but both staring intently at you. Her mouth is curved up in a grin that feels too big, until you realize she no longer has lips.

You barely see her legs, but all you can really see are stumps. Her ribbon tail is too long, disappearing into the darkness as you realize those black ribbons are her tail, and it seems like it's constantly growing.

She lets out a chitter, opening her mouth as candy spills out, gargled, excited words, desperately trying to leave her candy-stuffed throat.

You let out a screech, and drag your leg away and start crawling.

She's much more skilled at crawling through vents than you, though. So she easily catches and grabs onto you, arms wrapping around your waist as she pulls onto you in a hug.

She tries to say something, and candy falls onto your back. She rests her head on your back, and you feel her eye- wet, uncomfortably wet- press into your neck.

You shake slightly, as Yatta lets out a content purr.

"Yatta, let go."

You assume she replies with a garbled 'no'.

"Please, Yatta, I could hurt you."

Her eye narrows, as she looks a tad bit skeptical.

"Yatta, please. I may not look it, but I've become dangerous. I could hurt you, even kill you."

She may be a Twisted now, but it's not to your extent. You're terrified for her.

Yatta drags herself more onto you, clearly uninterested in letting go.

She just found you after TWENTY years, and now you're leaving? How RUDE!

"...Yatta, please."

She ignores you.

"...Would Looey approve? Or Blot? I'd think they'd ask you to let go."

Yatta looks up at you, tilting her head.

"What if you let me go? Wouldn't they like to see me again? You can show me where they are!"

Yatta hesitates, before letting go.

"...Thank you. You can show me the way now."

She turns and starts crawling away, expecting you to follow.

You don't follow. You move the opposite direction before she notices you aren't following and keep moving up.

You manage to get out on a higher floor as Yatta realizes you didn't follow her and immediately starts searching for you again.

You left her? AGAIN?! Why?! How DARE you! She's going to drag you back into the vents and NEVER LET YOU GO!!!

--☆☆☆--

You ended up in Astro's room.

He used to bring you here all the time. Mostly for naps with him.

You were glad to be in a familiar place, though.

You immediately started moving to go find one of the elevators, trying to ignore the eyes in the wall. Why did the walls have eyes? And why did they all snap to stare at you as you went, and you felt... exhausted.

You yawned but kept moving, mumbling weakly under your breath.

Then you saw it in the middle of the room.

Its top half looked like Astro without his blanket, even if it was larger than how he normally was. But his lower half looked like a slug's body made of ichor, blankets, and eyes, with his hat seeming to blend into it.

He was staring at you, and you felt even more exhausted. Your legs started shaking as this Twisted form of Astro seems to slowly start approaching you.

You try to hold yourself together as Astro manages to approach you, all four of his arms wrapping around you as you almost fall asleep.

"Starshine..."

You glance up at Astro, trying to push away.

"Let... go..."

"Why? It's been so long since I've seen you, please don't make me lose you again..."

"Astro... please..."

His gaze is usually soft, as he presses your face to his chest.

"Shh... You're exhausted. Just sleep."

No...

"I promise your dreams will be perfect."

No..!

"You'll barely tell you're asleep. You'll be completely okay. I won't lose you again."

NO!

You barely processed when you were in your Twisted form, dragging yourself out of Astro's arms. You could barely recognize how his eyes widened, the way his mouth opened and closed as his mind reeled.

You let out a snarl, being unable to speak from the ichor leaking from your mouth.

Astro wasn't too fazed. He just reached out and took your hands, staring at you with a mournful look.

"...I'm sorry I couldn't stop you from becoming like him."

You pause, giving Astro a confused look, as your Twisted form makes his exhausting effect notably less effective. He brings your hands to his face and buries his face in then, looking absolutely mournful.

"I'm so sorry, starshine."

You try to pull away as his grip tightens slightly.

"Please stay, starshine. I don't want to lose you again. I love you."

You hesitate, grimacing.

"I know you don't love me back. But I'd love you no matter what happens. Please don't leave me."

--☆☆☆--

You managed to get away from Astro after lying about you planning on returning to him.

As you turned back to your Toon form and entered the elevator, you let out a quiet sigh as the door shut.

Finally. You're almost out. Just have to ride the elevator to the top and leave the building.

You're so close to freedom. Freedom from the obsession, freedom from this prison, and freedom from living life as a Toon.

You can be human again.

Then you hear a click behind you, the sound of something rolling up from the floor, and the sound of uncomfortably familiar music fill your ears.

...no...

You don't dare turn around. You just hope your mind deceives you.

"Hello, dewdrop!"

Pretend you didn't hear.

"Dewdrop, turn around~"

Don't move, don't move...

"..."

Please go away, please go away...

"Dewdrop. Turn around. Before I make you."

You slowly look behind you. And like a light switch, Dandy's scowl turns to a happy grin.

...Not him...

"Oh dewdrop, it's been so long since I've seen you!" He says, standing behind the counter of his shop. "You have no idea how much we've all missed you!"

He leans on the counter, staring at you with adoring eyes. "How much I've missed you."

"...Hello, Dandy." You quietly murmur.

"...Oh, come here, you." He instructs, beckoning you closer, "Let me show you just how much I've missed you~"

You cringe at his tone- attempting to be seductive- and his lidded eyes, or the way he tries to beckon you closer.

"No Dandy. I need to go to another floor."

Your reply is curt, and you look away as his expression immediately sours.

"...How are you not like the others?" You suddenly ask, "Not... Twisted? Or Broken?"

Dandy laughs. "Well, because I was waiting for you to come back, of course! I searched high and low for you, you know? But I couldn't find you. But that didn't mean I gave up, no most certainly not!"

You try not to scowl as his tone almost goes smug. "Isn't that what anyone who loves you would do?"

You look away from him, taking a breath to steady yourself.

"I don't love you, Dandy."

"...what?"

"I don't love you." You repeat, "I never did, and I don't think I ever will. Please leave me alone. I need to go."

"...No."

Then, a sickeningly wet crack fills your ears. And another. And another.

Before you can even look back, you let out a screech as you're forced to hit the ground as... he lands on you.

Oh god. He's like you.

A Twisted version of Dandy- even bigger than your own Twisted form- looms over you. He takes up most of the elevator. And one of his ginormous hands- with those sharp and almost dagger-like claws- wrapped around your throat.

"Oh dewdrop, my sweet, stupid dewdrop." He snarls out, a faux grin of sharp teeth plastered on his face. "Why must you lie? I know you adore me. Not as much as I adore you, but still."

His grip on your neck tighten. You choke slightly, tears welling in your eyes as you tightly squeeze them shut.

You do not dare to let him see that you're like him.

You do not dare let the delusions that will bring come to your reality.

"Perhaps I need to show you my love." He muses, as his other talon gently runs down your arm, a claw twirling across it and pausing uncomfortable close to your waist, "Drill it into your silly little head that we are in love. Make you accept these feelings you are so unused to."

You shake as his hot breath caresses your face.

He laughs, nuzzling into your cheek. Your breathing becomes far too ragged for your liking.

"...I see you shake. You're scared." He lets out a curt laugh, "Oh, what are you scared of? I'd never dare harm you! You're just my little dewdrop. A tiny drop of water that can barely stand on its own! I'd never dare to evaporate you, you pretty little thing."

Should you turn into a Twisted? Risk the delusions to fight him off?

No, are you stupid? He would kill you!

...or worse.

"No, I'll wait to teach you the extent of my adoration." Dandy tells you with a smirk, "You aren't quite ready for it, my dear dewdrop. But I won't take you to the surface, I know that's where you desperately seek to go. Not yet, at least."

His other talon gently trails down your side as he hums.

"Get me tapes." He instructs you, "As many as you can get your tiny, little hands on. Bring them to me, and I'll take you to see the sun. Would you like that?"

You weakly nod, not daring to enrage him more.

"Good." He coos at you, giving you what you can only guess is a kiss on the cheek. "I love you, my little dewdrop~"

You weakly mutter back something similar, not meaning a word you said. However, he seems content.

You don't dare open your eyes as the pressure on you subsides. Nor as the wet cracks signifying Dandy's return to Toon form. Nor as the sound of Dandy's shop leaving fills your ears.

You only open your eyes when the elevator stops and opens.

You've never left an elevator faster.

[rawrmoona]

Do you have likeee a story for your Dw Au? IHHHJMMLIKEE DOES THE COMIC you made about Dandy killing Astro form part of a entire story? BECAUSE I LOVEEE HOW YOU MADE EVERY TOON LOOK AND I REALLY REALLY WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THEIR LORE

Yes, actually—this comic is part of my personal take on Dandy’s World lore! I’ve dropped a few hints here and there on my blog, but nothing too in-depth (yet).

I do plan on making a full post explaining more about my interpretation, but that might take a while since I’m constantly getting new ideas and having to tweak my writing!

Still, some of my posts already include hints about how I see the universe, though a few older ones are a bit outdated (for example, some of my older Flowerberry headcanon, while the ship is canon on my take, it still needs to be updated because some of my views changed).

That said, you can find all my interpretations under the tags “my take on dw” or “my take on dandys world.”

As for the scene where Dandy kills Astro—that happens much later during the Ichor Operation crisis. At that point, Dandy is paranoid and feels deeply threatened, especially by Vee, who’s trying to find a way for all the toons to escape Garden View before they die from starvation, lack of supplies, or get picked off by the Twisteds.

I actually made a post about what I think the Twisteds really are.

Dandy and Vee are constantly clashing over leadership. For a while, Dandy was confident he was safe from anyone doubting him—at least as long as no one found out he could turn into a Twisted due to stress. Over time, he began to control it better thanks to his Ichor research, but it still leaves visible scars on him.

Keeping that secret was awful, and he was only able to handle the weight of it because Astro was always there to support him. But then Astro broke his trust—he told Vee about it, because he wanted to help her to save the others.

How did Dandy find out? Oh, I’ll tell that story one day ;)

But for now, just know that Dandy murdered Vee. Later, when Astro came to looking for him, Dandy was shaken by everything (he still had a lot of respect for Vee, so killing her was quite heartbreaking, but mind you, it was not the first time he killed a toon) but was willing to give Astro a chance to redeem himself. All he wanted was honesty: admit he told Vee his secret. If Astro had just told the truth, Dandy would’ve let him live.

But he lied.

And in that moment, Dandy felt he had no choice but to kill the one person who had kept him grounded all this time. After that, he was ready to do whatever it takes to keep the operation under control and guarantee the toons safety.

After that, they both twisted.

That’s all I’ll share for now! But I’ll definitely go into more detail in the future. I even have a post about Delilah and Arthur sitting in my drafts—I just need to finish writing about the Handlers, and then it’ll be ready to publish. :P

Oh, one more detail! The first toon responsible for Garden View getting shut down was actually Pebble, who—under strange circumstances—ended up turning into a Twisted and killed one of the staff members.

And a tiny spoiler: it wasn’t Dandy’s doing that Pebble turned twisted ;)

I’ve been thinking about the humans a lot esp Delilah so it’s time for a ✨Headcanon Post✨

(Also special shoutout to @/the-meme-monarch they’re a big part of the reason we started seeing Delilah differently and thinking about her more hehehe)

Anyways Delilah headcanon timeeee

- Aroace icon bc yes; I feel like she might have tried dating one or more girls before and it didn’t work out

- Autism be dammed my morally dubious science woman can work a grill /ref

- Keeps a ton of little trinkets and doodads in her office. It’s messy and disorganized and Tisha absolutely hates it but can’t do anything about it. Never let that toon see Delilah’s actual house she’d have to pull out the heavy duty garbage bags

- Speaking of her house, she ends up spending the night at Gardenview so much to the point that Arthur convinced her to put a pull out couch in her office. Girlie overworks herself way too much and very much relies on caffeine

- She’s generally kind, though very blunt. Also gets excited relatively easily. If she starts rambling about something it is near impossible to stop her.

- She’s not exactly close with any of the Toons but she does care about them and does her best to make sure they have what they want and need to be comfortable.

- Not sure how she would have started working with the Ichor but her fascination with it ends up her downfall. I don’t imagine it affecting humans as intensely as it does Toons, but considering how much she worked with it while making them it definitely had a negative impact.

- It mostly affects her mental state and personality. She becomes colder, more distant. Her focus on her Ichor research becomes less about genuine passion and interest and more of a harmful obsession. Arthur worries about her, especially when the Ichor stains seem to become permanent, and tries reaching out but she pushes him away.

- It was during her decline that the Holiday Toons came about, hence the note she wrote about them “naturally isolating” after the holiday season that we find in-game. She starts seeing the Toons less as full people and more as simple creations.

- Whatever incident caused Gardenview to shut down I imagine at least partially being a result of her changing and becoming more negligent when it comes to Gardenview as a whole, and/or being because of something she did with the Ichor.

I’m really interested in whatever canon stuff we end up getting related to the human characters cause there is SO much that Quel could do with them and the little we do have is already really interesting hehehehe

TWISTED

Twisted Research

“One of the Main Characters of Dandy's World. Having been pressed down by heavy expectations and regret, he sought to destroy others that he didn’t deem skillful enough to be saved from their demise. If a skill check is failed, this Twisted will sprint to that machine and break it with his sharp sword, making ichor leak a big amount and slow down toons who continue that unfinished machine. Be careful of your surroundings while you extract!”

Dandy's World OC: Claude the Paintbrush

Bio and details in description.

“Claude really knows how to paint the town! He’s as passionate for his craft as he is easygoing. For him, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents. He teaches children about art and that they don’t need to be perfect to love what they do”

Full Name: Claude Warhol Other Name: Claude the Paintbrush Species: Paintbrush Gender: Male (He/Him) Voice Claim: Alex Bankier (Crème Brûlée Cookie - Cookie Run: Kingdom)

Dandy Store Quote

“Lemme paint a picture for you; Claude’s the best at doing that!”

50% Research on Twisted Claude

Encounter 30 different Twisteds

Appearance

Claude is a brown paint brush that wears a pink beret. He wears his bristles downward like a ponytail, tied with a gold hair tie. The ends of his hair and cheeks have light pink paint splotches on them.

His outfit consists of a pink button-down shirt with rolled sleeves, a white apron, a pair of khaki pants, and a pair of dark brown shoes

Personality

As mentioned on his info card, Claude has an easygoing yet passionate personality. As to be expected, he is an artistic and a creative Toon who loves to paint and admires all kinds of artwork. He has a go-with-the-flow attitude, especially when it comes to painting, not fussing over mistakes or setbacks. 

That being said, Claude can be quite pretentious, usually in the sense that he attempts to appear more “cultured” or intelligent than he actually is. He can also be a bit spacey, especially if he’s working on a painting, pretty much forgetting (or ignoring) the things around him or even his own needs. And while he is usually pretty easygoing, he does tend to be rather sensitive to criticism, not so much on his artwork, but him as a person.

Descending to the next floor

“Don’t worry, it was just a happy accident.” “Let’s make a strong impression this time.” “We should brush up a bit before we start.”

Twisted Claude

"This Twisted’s newest technique will leave you blindsided…literally. By covering your screen in ichor, he will make it quite difficult to find machines and escape. Use the spots he’s missed to find your way.”

Rank: Rare Speed: Slow (16.5) Attention Span: Above Average (3) Detection Range: Average

Twisted Claude is a roaming Twisted that will cover most of the screens (except for the UI) of all players every 60 seconds with ichor. The ichor is harmless but will be a severe hindrance to those looking for machines or being chased by Twisteds. Thankfully some spots won’t be covered however (usually 3 spots will be uncovered, but if you’re lucky, it might be up to 5 spots) allowing the players to have at least some visibility. 

This is similar to Twisted Vee’s primary gimmick, however, unlike Vee, The ichor will disappear after 8 seconds.

Just like Twisted Gigi and Finn, Twisted Claude leaves an ichor trail when he walks.

Trivia

Claude’s name comes from Claude Monet, founder of Impressionism painting. While his last name comes from Andy Warhol.

Two of Claude’s quotes are references to Bob Ross. Specifically the “happy little accident” and “beat the devil out of it” quotes, which are things Bob Ross would commonly say on his show. His info card also references the former.

Claude enjoys video games when he’s not painting; Splatoon is a favorite of his, as is Okami. (Anachronistic, I know...)

Claude’s ichor cost references The Golden Ratio, a mathematical ratio that has been used in art for centuries.

Notably, his trinket does not have the color red on it. That is intentional, as it’s the only stat that doesn’t utilize stars.
