ASTRO NOVALITE HCS!!

Warnings; passing out/narcolepsy

Type: Headcannon. Not proof-read, and done on mobile.

Authors note: tysm to whoever sent the first request!! I hope you like it, it’s my first time writing headcannons for him. Also creds to @strangergraphics-archive for the moon banner

His posture is absolutely HORRENDOUS. Pretty popular headcannon, but it for sure fits him.

He prefers Tea over coffee any day. He’ll have at least 3 cups of tea a day, without fail. Every time he does have it, he uses a pretty big amount of honey too.

Astro has pretty bad narcolepsy. He’ll pass out randomly out of nowhere, no matter the time or occasion. (Drabble below)

Astro and dandy were having a casual conversation while on their way to the kitchen. Dandy turned his back for just one second to check out some commotion, and the next he looks back to see Astro passed out on the floor.

Dandy was worried sick! He did the best he could to make sure Astro was okay. For example, picking him up and setting him down on the closest chair. Dandy was about to go call someone for help, but just minutes later he woke back up and acted like almost nothing happened. (Astro had to explain to him what narcolepsy was when he mentioned he had it)

He bites his nails often whenever he’s nervous/alone, which always leads to most of them being short. Some of them grow a decent amount, before he shuts that down and bites them too.

There’s a little stuffed animal in Astro’s room that he sleeps with every night. He’s grown attached to it, even giving it a name and everything. He keeps it safe and tucked in whenever not sleeping or outside of his bedroom,

Speaking of his room, Dandy made a drawing of him and Astro on a piece of paper, and ever since then it’s been hung up on the wall of his room. He loves when anyone close to him makes little crafts/gifts for him, even if he insists he doesn’t want any.

Under his blanket is a corny pair of sleep shorts. He’s had them since about a year ago, but they still fit him well and he finds them very comfortable. REFUSES to tell anyone though, the design of the shorts is embarrassing.

Boxten caught him sleepwalking in the middle of the night once, and freaked out because he thought Astro was possessed and was gonna attack him. Astro doesn’t sleepwalk often, but it definitely happens from time to time.

Bisexual, but male leaning. He loves em both!!

Astro wears fluffy hello kitty socks with no shame at all. He finds them cute, and even showed them off to dandy.

HORRIBLE liar!!! He can’t lie to anyone without feeling bad, so he’ll end up telling whoever he lied to the truth after a certain amount of time(always apologizes like crazy afterwards)

Unlike goob, Astro has a great memory. Ask him if he remembers anything, and he’ll immediately remember whatever you ask unless it was too long ago.

he’s extremely patient with stubborn kids. Sometimes he can get a bit aggravated if it goes on for too long, but he’ll never show it and is extremely gentle sounding.

He can’t for the life of him figure out modern slang. Some kid told him he was Skibidi, and he thought it was some sort of slur.

He hates the dark. Not the same from dim areas btw, he loves those!! Im talking about pitch black, to the point where you can’t see. That’s why he has a little moon night light next to his bed.

Lmk who I should do next!! Reqs still open 💙

[dandysworldhcs]

actually can i just req some silly finn hcs! our finn fictive Will judge them (politely). i have a lot of hcs and projections already but i wanna see more :3c

- tropical charms anon

(also might come back for more later on cuz i'm making a bit hc list project..)

hi !!

-the missing tooth is from a fishing accident. the fish was putting up a fight and once he was able to pull it out of the water it clocked him square in the face and knocked out a tooth. he also has a crack on his lip where the fish hit him. he thinks the whole situation was hilarious

-this is based off my design for him.his fish features have slight bioluminescent markings. its not enough to be like.a big noticeable glow like vee or astro or brightney.just little bits of glow similar to those glow in the dark stars.does this make sense

-he is posic. when he says barnaby willikers is more than just a toy fish to him he means it.thats his guy !! wether hes objectum or not is up to viewers interpretation -hes a very catch-and-release guy with his fishing which is why he gets a little frazzled when sprout talks about seafood.he forgets some people dont just.put the fish back in the water -this is based off a minicomic i saw that made me laugh, he has that specific trait where he can smell the chemical ants use to communicate. both him and shelly sometimes track down stray ants. like they could be talking and having the most important conversation of their lives but the moment they smell an ant theyre like.we gotta go find it.and its a bonding experience for them !! fun enrichment :-]

-he has a glass top that hes supposed to put on so he doesnt spill everywhere but he forgets to put it on almost every time -one of the walls in his room is a bigass fish tank but none of the fish are real. its all different types of toy fish like barnaby. he takes all the fish out once or twice a week to wind them up again and have them swim around in the tank

-surprisingly good at riddles. to him they're just "smarter puns". even rodger is surprised at his efficiency

-fluent in spanish, one time one of the kids that came to gardenview in a field trip didnt know much english and was Afraid and nobody knew how to help them and suddenly he pulled up like "hola !! soy finn, necesitas ayuda con algo ? te ves nerviosa. no te preocupes, estoy aqui para ayudarte <:] ". he de-escalated the situation beautifully and even the handlers were shocked. hes got a puertorican accent btw because i love projecting

-master at spinning things in his fingers.like yk how some people spin pens and stuff when theyre bored.yeah finn could spin that shit for hours at alarming speeds if given the time and if hes got nothing to do

thats all for now :-]

N$FW UNDER THE CUT GULP!!! MOONCAKE porn with plot 100% consensual

Not my original idea!!! It's a chai bot under 'Astro'

Astros is a shy freak, Cosmos ftm and freak going with his freak boyfriends fantasy

Astros is a silent and respectful toon in garden view, he's calm passionate but lazy at times he's also your boyfriend.

You've been dating for so long you even got to make cookies of him with your best friend sprout! Well that was when the garden view was functional, now it's all broken and torn, toons are trying to spend more time with each other, ignoring the problems at hand but that's a whole other problem. Astro found relief within me, Cosmo, his boyfriend.

"Cosmo? Do you think we could uh talk about something? Nothing bad I promise love." Astros relaxing and soft voice spoke.

"Oh! Sure do you want to sit down? Or is this not that serious?"

"It's well about my um quirks? Kinks? I've been reading a book about people and their weird fantasies and I found one I wanted to try if that's ok! And we don't have to rush in." Astros tone was nervous and shy, it was clear he was extremely embarrassed to talk about this even though he shared everything with Cosmo.

"I would love to hear it! Maybe we could give it a try sometime this week?" Even though I had an open nature to these types of things Astro still got nervous.

"it's called Somnophilia it's a fantasy where you want to be touched sexually in sleep, I was reading about it and I thought of you and me doing this and I... I got excited."

Somnophilia? Sleep sex? I trust Astro and all but I'm a bit uncomfortable with the idea of having to trust someone with pulling out or using a condom regardless of who.

"Can I try it on you first?" I suggest "I'm not too confident about protection right now but maybe when I warm up to it?"

Astro immediately perked up with a warm smile, he looked gleefully.

"You mean you actually want to try it? With me?!" Astro beams, I know he's not too comfortable with personal conversations but this looks like a good start.

"it's worth a shot! If you like it its worth exploring, maybe I'll like it too!"

The rest of the day went well, me and sprout made cupcakes and talked about normal stuff, while later at night me and Astro cuddled up for a movie date night before parting for a while In the night.

I agreed to try out Astros fantasy the same night he confessed it to me, It can't be that hard to please someone when they're asleep... Right?.

Night fell it was now 1 am, the toon room hallway was completely silent, a creepy quiet. But non the less it's time to give Astro his fantasy.

His room was illuminated with a night light that cast stars and galaxies all over the ceiling, he had a dresser that never was used as he would just throw his dirty blankets in the hamper and didn't take them out till all of them were on a pile on the floor. He had all types of nerdy posters about space on his walls, space and planet books scattered on shelves, and special memorized facts on sticky notes he would tell me in the morning.

Most importantly for now, his bed, there he was, sleeping beauty himself wrapped in a dusky blue blanket that was more oversized than his daily ones. He's sprawled out on the bed with a home made plushie of myself cuddled into his chest, his own plushie sat on his dresser long forgotten for my special one. He surrounds himself with star pillows and soft fabric so he sleeps well throughout the night.

I try and keep my steps soft on his floor, I don't want to spoil the fun so early. I softly remove his blanket around his hips, pinching it up with my fingers and folding it over onto the rest of the blanket. Surprisingly to me he didn't stir, nor even a small shift or whimper.

Next was his pants and underwear, I decided to do them both at the same time, like ripping off a band-aid, carefully slipping my thumb under both waist bands I pull down just enough to expose his dick.

"hm."

Shit. Is he awake? Astro just kicked his legs a bit and fell back asleep. Thank God. His pants and underwear came off smoothly from there just a soft tug after soft tug until they hit the floor with a smooth 'thump'.

I have his underwear and pants off. Now what? Should I just suck him off? Or do I use my hand? Astro murmurs something and turns his head into his pillows with a soft sigh.

Sucking him off might be the safest bet, it's warm and wet it leaves a lot for his dreaming mind to process. Here goes nothing?

My lips wrap around the tip of his cock, I give it a suck up motion, for the next suck I do the same but rest the back of my tongue on the top of his head.

"Nghmm"

I pull off temporarily, letting the spit drip down his slightly erect member, with a slight buck of his hips he fell back into a deep sleep.

With a squelch of my throat I take his sleepy dick down my throat, just for a while, enjoying its presence before I choke. My eyes flick up to him. Astros brow furrowed, his cheeks dusted with a light blush, his grip on the blankets tightened, even if it was just for a second he seemed happy, almost enjoying it.

"mhm... Cosmooo..."

Cosmo can't help but smirk at his soft mumbles and cries for him, it was almost reassuring that even in sleep his boyfriend wanted him.

I wrap my hand around the base of his throbbing erection pumping him softly, while taking his cock as deep as I can suppressing my own sounds. I can taste his salty pre cum on my tongue and lips.

His soft whispers turn into full on moans, his grip more of a clench, even in his sleep he was so responsive with his pleasure, his cock stood straight up on its own now with no help from my hands or lips.

"Cos... Hah~"

All of these soft and sensual actions would be too much for him if he was awake. I removed my hand and took him in my throat, deep, choking only a small bit now. I move my lips up to the top.

Then without a loud scream or moan he came, just like that, his salty cum painted my mouth and teeth, it's salty taste had a sweet after tone to it.

I spit the cum out of my mouth into my hand, watching the mix of sticky drool and thick cum mix drip down from my lips. I can't just keep this experience to myself.

Without thinking my other hand grabs his underwear, I smear his messy release onto his moon boxers especially around the crotch.

Astros pants filled the room as soon as he came. His cheeks are full on red and breathing only with his mouth now. I undo the fold in the blanket and cover his lower half now. Laying his dirty underwear on his covered stomach.

But my room felt empty without someone or something. Fuck, the warmth between my legs was more present now, I can't deny that seeing his sleepy face all warm and satisfied turned me on so God damn much. There wasn't really a way around this, and i don't want to go to sleep unsatisfied.

My job was done.

My dresser hides some of my sex toys I scavenged through the years, a dildo and vibrator, they weren't much but got the job done. I took the vibrator out, it had a part to stick up my pussy and one to stimulate my clit.

My shorts slip off with ease, there's a clear wet spot between my legs in my panties, sliding a hand down onto my clit, rubbing it softly. God I can't stop thinking of his face, that cute scrunched up face.

Fuck, I'm so God damn wet, I pull my fingers up looking at the strings of released lube from my cunt. I lay down on my bed, lightly pressing the vibrator to my entrance then shoving it in, grabbing the remote and putting it on its lightest setting and grabbing at my pillow immediately shoving it between my legs.

It wasn't enough, the light vibration and thrusting was so little it was annoying, one, two settings up I felt weak in the knees. It's almost too much but so good I can't stop.

Over time I can't stop it, it's making me numb at this point, my clits is swollen and wet beyond measure.

"Fuck~ hah! Ngh!"

Warm slick sticky cum leaks out of my cunt and down my legs, fuck I'm coated with it. It doesn't take long until I'm knocked out drifting into a deep slumber

Welcome to the Freak House!

About Us

Audrey Arson

I'm the oldest of the band. I'm a bit of a self-proclaimed older sister to the others and I feel super protective of them. When I'm not making music with the band you can usually find me working on my comic or some other artistic pursuit. I'm a chronically exhausted college student. You can tell what songs I wrote by them having a more jazzy or melancholy tone to them or just being bat-shit off the walls insane. Some of my inspirations are MCR, Scene Queen, , Set It Off, and Demi Lovato (for some reason).

-Your resident garbage girl

Butchface

I’m that guy with the neon green hair in the blog’s pfp lol. pronouns are he/him, xe/xem/xyr, and it/its. I take a lot of influence from older punk rock and, surprisingly, country and folk music. my favorite bands are My Chemical Romance, Oingo Boingo, They Might Be Giants, The Cure, Talking Heads, Bikini Kill, Shilpa Ray, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Iron Maiden, The Magnetic Fields, The Daniel Pemberton TV Orchestra, Lemon Demon, Man or Astro-Man, Radiohead (not in a pretentious way, I swear), Will Wood, Creedence Clearwater Revival… oh boy, there’s a lot. I like music! I tend to disappear at unpredictable intervals due to chronic pain/fatigue and parental restrictions, but I always come back. I like writing songs about things I’m passionate about, which is often personal, sometimes political, and every now and then a ballad about freaky-looking deep sea creatures. or weevils. I keep my dad’s old stenobook by my bedside to write lyrics in - he wrote lyrics for the Panama City punk bands he was in in 1990-ish in there, and I figured I could put it to good use again after all these years. he’s cool with it. see you around, and stay safe out there 🪲

Harley Homicide

I'm sassy, I'm trashy and (if you pay me enough) I'll let you put it in my ass-y. I'm the band's second oldest and the token British person. I use any pronouns, I literally don't care what you call me xx. My music taste is all over the place, having been raised by a metalhead and a former chav during a time where pop punk and emo were more mainstream. I'd say my biggest inspirations in terms of performing are Freddie Mercury and Ronnie James Dio. You'll be able to tell which songs are written by me because they're shit! I'm not much good at writing, but I'm great at partying like I'm Paris Hilton. When I'm not doing band stuff, you can find me shopping, watching/reading/playing anything DC comics related or just sorta... Staring into space. I don't do much, but I'm still your fave member fer sure! Thanks for visiting The Freakhouse! We hope you enjoy your stay!

Xoxo Harlz <3

Dart Darling

Hi I'm Dart, I'm genderfluid (any pronouns), and I'm from under the ground at your local graveyard! I'm one of the youngest, and that's super tragic because I'm an undead zombie who died from being too damn glamorous. My idol is Melissa Marie and i love the Millionaires. Also, my ghostly tendencies give me a lot of appreciation for the dramatic, and as well as all things scene and crunkcore I love theatre, cabaret, and steampunk. I've been producing music for about a year now so if the synths crunching, just know it was me, tapping away and not understanding what the equalizer does. I'm bringing you Dead Girl Couture 25/8, 366. Don't mind all the Sanrio merch around the Freakhouse, I started a cult for Hello Kitty! I mean church. You should definitely join us 😁

Til death do we party,

-Dart <3

[glitterandmoondustofficial]

So I worked my shift for Black Friday today.

I work at GameStop (and have for a year now) and my shift was 5a-1:30p.

Somethings I’ve noticed on this joyous of all days.

Multiple people saw the “tap to pay” option and placed their card on the screen. Like just on it. Even after I said tap to pay is for apple/google pay you have to insert then card.

“Haha! Glad I’m not working!”

When the manager can’t talk, the assistant (me) is the one who talks

I was talking about how I wanted to get donuts for the team but the donut place in question was closed when I was going to get them and then a customer very intensely said I shouldn’t go to that donut place because it sucks and I should go to this other place and they didn’t seem to understand that my donut place is within walking distance of my house.

GameStop does not keep the actual disks of the games out of the floor, so it’s super gr8 when you walk out onto the floor to find a case (Kingdoms of Amalur (great fuckin game btw)) and open it to not only find a game in the case but the WRONG game (red dead redemption) in the case.

People don’t know how to line

“I’ve stapled the replacement plan sticker to the receipt.” “Is the replacement plan in the computer?” “No we just need the sticker.” “What sticker?”

“You look tired! Haha!” “I’ve been here since five.” “...oh.”

Classic child comes to the counter with GTA5 and gets their not much older friend to say that they’re 17.

In the same GTA5 vein “okay, are we alright with the M rated game? Blood, strong sexual content, profanity.” “It’s just like call of duty, mom.” “It’s not like call of duty, mom.”

“You can turn off the M rated stuff.” “You can’t turn off the M rated stuff.”

More than usual 16 year olds who don’t understand that they can lie on the internet and purchase an M rated game like how we did when we were that young? Like???? You think I was 17 when half life 2 came out? I LIED ON THE INTERNRT FAM.

Children who throw a fit because the demo system is “broken”

“dO yOu HaVe FoRtNiTe”

“it’s free in the system store.” “NOTHNG IN LIFE IS FREE” “well this is”

The same person who got pissed when I handed them a gutted game (a game where we take out the disk and put the case on the wall) because it shouldn’t be considered new anymore got pissed because they couldn’t return a game that they opened because it wasn’t considered new anymore.

“Hi, is there anything I can help you find today?” Literally shoves a hand in my face and walks away.

“I want to get a PS4.” “Okay, and did we want to pick up any games?” “Halo.”

“Can I get 2k for the P4?”

“Why don’t you have x in stock!” “We sold them.” “Why did you sell them?” “Uh”

“I want the best headset for $100” “okay the best you can go are astros or hyperx’s” “nah, I want turtle beaches.” “(•◡•)”

“Why aren’t ps3 games backwards compatible?” “You’ll have to ask Sony.”

UPS arriving with shipment that wasn’t even shit we could sell today making my boss lose his fucking mind.

Someone bought $900 worth of eBay cards. The max amount of money you can put on gift cards is $1000. Both me and my manager hovered around our employee looking scary because that ain’t normal. Money laundering~~~~

The midday deposit didn’t fit in the drop box so I had to go into the bank and watch them count it.

“I’ll have to take a defective fee on the 3DS.” “Why? It works fine!” “The screen is cracked.” “So?”

“Why isn’t Nintendo on sale?” “Because they saw no reason to go on sale since it’s the best selling console and not slowing down.” “But I have to get a Nintendo!” “It’s $300.”

I almost fell asleep in the system closet.

I coughed and my boss said I’m not allowed to do that and shoved cough drops in my hand because the store would start on fire if we were both down for the count.

“Headsets are universal as long as they have a 3.5 jack.” “But I wanted it for the PS4 not the Xbox.” “Headsets are universal as long as they have a 3.5 jack.”

*takes a sip of a milkshake my friend brought to me to make the day not be as bad* “should you really be drinking something when there are people in the store?”

“Thank you for calling x mall Gamestop, how can I help you?” “Are you located in the mall?”

“Thank you for calling x mall Gamestop, how can I help you?” “Is this Gamestop?”

Finally, after calling 11 separate times during one of the busiest hours on the busiest days. “Thanks for calling x mall Gamestop, how can I help you?” “Do you have call of duty?”

Anyway I went home and watched One Piece for the rest of my evening.

moonbin (astro) university au

photography major who dabbles in dance because he loves it so much as a hobby

his photography skills lie in portraits and landscapes

literally has books filled to the brim with his photo progression and improvements, as well as his own photography all over his dorm walls

he’s also an ace at editing

sometimes edits his photos to make them look cool when they don’t already and he’s great at it

recently he found his new muse and hasn’t been able to stop taking photos 

it’s you btw

he saw you leaving the library one time, as he was sat by a tree in the courtyard

the way the sun bounced off of your skin and the wind blew through your hair, he found it completely picturesque

of course, he’s subtle about this, as he’s aware of how creepy it can seem

but you’re just the perfect muse, he just can’t help himself

he doesn’t even know your name

like he wants to say hi to you and get to know you but he’s shy and intimidated af

because you’re so beautiful and he thinks he’s such a dorky nobody that you would never talk to him

he’s so cute though, you’ve almost caught him a few times which makes him trip up and embarrass himself in front of you

i mentioned he dabbles in dance right ?

he does that a lot

dances in his dorm, dances casually as he’s waiting for his photos to process etc

especially into hiphop dancing, wants to learn ballroom bc he’s a softy

he books out the uni dance studio quite often so he can practice without his dorm-mates telling him to turn the music down

and one day

the studio is accidentally double-booked

it literally could have been ANYONE that booked it at the same time as him

but it turned out to be you

of course, he was very confused seeing you already in the studio by the time he arrived

he was going to take the opportunity to capture it, but found himself too mesmerised by you dancing to even take out his camera

this was his chance though

to actually meet you for real, and he walks into the studio to introduce himself and slightly mention that he also booked it out at this time

he was SUPER shy and stammered through everything he said

but you find it endearing and just giggle at him, which makes him feel more comfortable

so you end up practicing together and showing each other your dances

and it’s cute af

you soon learn about being moonbin’s muse and you don’t mind, in fact you let him take all the pictures he wants

and he’s grateful for that

This is a really interesting analysis of both the changelings (in the original post) and the different perspectives people have on interaction with media.

I remember once hearing the argument that fantasy/fiction is only important insofar as it can reflect on the human condition. I don't personally agree with that statement, but I can see where they're coming from: Since most writers are humans, we can't help but tell human stories. Even when, as science fiction writers often do, we're deliberately trying to write a character or species to be completely inhuman, our potrayal still reflects on what traits we view as essential and unique to ourselves.

One thing I've always liked about science fiction is the way fantastic events & scenarios can be used to create an external representation of concepts that, in the real world, are only ever internal. For example: Alternate universes prompt a kind of externalized self-reflection and speculation that can usually only occur inside a person's head. Blowing up these vague concepts into a tangible, if fantastic, form, makes them far easier to explore and comprehend.

Or by extreme-ifying concepts that are already external. Like, if you're talking about the intriguing changeling theory I think you are, fluid (pun intented) memories like that are something that, on the one hand, is completely and utterly incomprehensible to us as human beings. But it has parallels and connections to any number of social phenomena that humans do experience.

I like metaphor. And I also like completely wild off-the-walls uncomprable scenarios that have no reflection on the human condition at all. Fiction can and should sometimes just be fascinating thought exercises or entertainment. And sometimes I'll look at science fiction and see it through one lens, and sometimes the other. And in each case someone else is seeing it through the other lens. Or they might have a third, completely different perspective. Or if we are seeing it through the same lens, they might have a completely different takeaway form me.

Anyways. Where we individually see fiction reflecting on ourselves and where we don't is a really interesting topic. And apologies for the tangent that was moderately unrelated to your post.

Btw, if you're interested in xenobiology and haven't already read this, you might find this article interesting: http://www.rfreitas.com/Astro/Xenopsychology.htm . It's about how aliens that are biologically different than humans might develop different psychologies.

That feeling when you realize that your way of engaging with and enjoying media and other people's ways of engaging with and enjoying media come from two very different places, and you find it incredibly difficult to reconcile your approach with theirs.

Like, without going into details, last night I posted a Changeling headcanon I'd been sitting on for a while. It was about how their incredibly nonhumanoid psychology might explain a thing or two about why they're Like That, and how the DS9 fandom doesn't really consider that in discussions about them. I woke up to find that one person in particular had tagged it with a lengthy comment about how it was very obviously a 1:1 analogy for an aspect of human social psychology, which was, of course, the opposite of my point.

I am very invested in the idea of xenofiction and exploring perspectives that differ vastly from the human norm. Partially, this attitude comes from the disconnect that I personally feel from the idea of humanity for several reasons I won't go into here, but mostly, it's just because I find it interesting when people do the work to make their nonhumans as truly nonhuman as possible. I was an Animorphs kid, after all. This is a big reason why I find the Dominion such an interesting niche to write about and worldbuild.

I'm not, like, trying to make this into an issue or anything, and I don't control what people tag my posts as, but when I see someone tag my xenofiction-y headcanons and worldbuilding posts with "and this is why it's exactly like [normal human thing]" it feels a little bit. Boring? Discouraging? I mean I'm not going to say that DS9 of all fucking things Isn't Political or doesn't say important things about human nature because clearly it is and does but it's also a space to play around with ideas of nonhumanoid sentience and that is one of my primary interests in this fandom.

[dandysworldhcs]

greetings, dear modlings. as i am pleased with your astro headcanons, i will provide miscellaneous headcanons of my own:

(sorry for wall of text btw i’m just really really excited)

shelly has feathers on some parts of her body e.g. arms, calves, tail end. these feathers are iridescent & she likes to gift them to toons she likes. all the mains & tisha have one.

sometimes, shelly pronounces her ‘r’s like a small growl.

shelly is also extremely flexible, as cephalopods are. she’s freaked out many people and toons by squeezing through tight spaces. she’s passed under a door successfully at least once.

pebble, if he were a real dog, would be a cardigan welsh corgi. when he distracts twisteds, he’s just following his little corgi instincts & thinks he’s just herding them into one place. he also uses herding tactics while distracting, e.g. barking and nipping heels

the christmas toons no longer get locked up when it’s not christmas because the humans are gone, and now just live with the non-event toons. however, when winter passes, their energy levels are much lower and are less likely to go on runs.

twisteds can still talk, but the extent varies from toon to toon. mains are usually more vocal, with twisted vee being the most chatty.

the tapes are not old episodes, but are instead cut-up footage of the making of the toons. (the reason why they were even cut up in the first place was as a safety measure, so that you couldn’t know what the process was like unless you obtained all tapes.) the ichor operation is more or less dandy trying to find a solution to the twisted problem, or at the very least, put the twisteds out of their misery.

there used to be science events at gardenview for the older kids and teens. it was run by astro and brightney (the nerd duo ahahaha) and they’d do various experiments together. alternatively, they were also used to teach lab safety (e.g. how to handle apparatus properly esp. more dangerous ones like bunsen burners, how to properly store chemicals and keeping them from reacting with each other). astro and brightney may have been responsible for teaching at least a couple of teenagers how to make molotov cocktails.

as a reminder of those old lab days, astro and brightney have both kept their lab coats. they’re sometimes seen wearing them around gardenview as regular coats.

excess sensory input (bright lights, talking crowds) tends to make astro very tired as it’s all very overwhelming. thus, he used to dread public appearances as he knows he’s gonna get exhausted really quickly.

astro is ironically, or unironically, the worst toon to sleep in the same bed with because he’s so LOUD when he sleeps. not only does he move around a lot, his snores are so notoriously loud and is constantly sleeptalking. the other mains (as all the mains like to sleep in a pile together) describe his sleeptalking as ‘mildly irritated, as if he’s always complaining about something’.

all of the mains have detachable heads. vee is the only toon that does this in front of humans, as the action is required for some of her stunts in her dramatic entrances.

vee still hosts her ‘gameshow’ even without the humans. the show has now taken the form of a deranged hybrid of cards against humanity, quiplash and family feud. for obvious reasons toodles is not allowed in these games.

vee has access to the internet & is aware of the ‘can run doom’ meme. after some curiosity-fuelled experimenting, vee found out that she can run doom as well.

dandy’s world is still a widely-loved cartoon. this means that there was a massive poll ‘hear-me-out’ esque poll on which character they had a crush on either as a kid and/or now. (for obvious reasons i don’t think i should have to state, toodles, pebble and coal were excluded from the poll). this poll is immensely chaotic and has caused actual fights. vee knows about this poll and has also participated in some of those fights.

HELP these are so coolcore,,,getting you
