Not to be that person...

But who jumped you?? Are you alright?

Please come back at your earliest convenience 🙏

Grippy sock hospital got my ass ☝️😪

Low key forgot the password too and got caught up in Love and Deepspace. What a game.

Anyway I'll try to write something soon <3 I miss yall.

Also my laptop literally lit itself on fire so I needed a new one but those cost money I did not have. But I got new ones:)

[eclipseberrycake]

Hi so I have question about you Au. Do the twisted that are missing a limb or multiple just grow them back once they return to normal or are they gone forever and get a cool prosthesis or something (btw I love every fic you write you're very cool :>)

Hello hello! I think I answered something similar to this before and if I remember correctly I said they do! They get an alloted amount of times they can risk being twisted before more permanent damage, like missing limbs, actually becomes...yk permanent. I haven't really delved into the final twisting but maybe I should! Bc I think cool prosthetics would be such a neat topic to explore especially for toons like Finn or gigi

[eclipseberrycake]

I Don't Know why but imagine Dandy in rehabiliation au being the tallest now because of his Twisted being tall as heck like Bro make Twisted Dandy stand up and you'll see Why,imagine him carrying the toons [carrying Cyra like a Princess]

Sprout: you're so tall oh my god-

Dandy: probably because you're built like a baked bean-

Sprout: baked- A BAKED BEAN?

*Throws pebble at dandy*

Sprout: baked bean that. BAKED BEAN THAT-

Eidod ANYWAY

I think he'd definitely be taller and just like uses that to his advantage. Oh Vee is demanding something? Pick up. Oh astro is hiding on top of the fridge? Pick up. Oh Cyra is climbing the large tree in the centre because gigi told her there was a med in there? Pick up and cradle because lemme tell you. She is like a cat. Squirming and yowling before eventually relenting and then dandy just sits with her in his lap like :D she don't bite.

(Teagan in the corner: YES SHE DO-)

NOT A REQUEST MY BRAIN SAID A THING WHILE READING MBC!XDISTRACTOR! READER PART 14

I thought dandy was purposefully going to get the rest of the polycule injured (or even twisted) to have the reader all to himself.

I'm gonna bite you aagagagaggghgagag

*takes this. Hides it in back pocket*

Idk dandys an unpredictable Lil duddeeeee

I'm gonna bite you back hngghnghnhhh

[eclipseberrycake]

Angst time guys.

What if during the outbreak when distractor reader is leading Twisted Dandy away, Cosmo chases them because duh, he's in love and wants to help and has to watch the very first twisted transformation knowing he's next.

Bonus: Reader sees him just as Dandy acts.

Double Bonus: Sprout and Astro are the first to happen upon their twisted forms and are turned since they trusted Reader and Cosmo blindly 😌

Anyway no one asked but I did say Blu was based off of my irl cat and this is her. Her name is Talia. <3 she recently learned to go on walks with her harness outside (she's an Inside kitty)

Another random doodles

Twisted Bandy has 12 limbs(4 arms and 8 legs)

Anyways

RANT!!!!

Ok so this rant is basically abt my au, not much of a long rant but idk.

Ok so, my au is basically the same as the original but this takes place after the ichor operation. Everyone managed to control their own ichor and was able to revert back into their old selves. Yay! But, minor changes is that they are much more taller than their old heights and the toons who lost their limbs and doesn't want it to get repaired, now use the excess ichor as their new body parts.

Although, some toons with lost limbs tends to have repairs, officially adding small or massive scars to their bodies, depending on how massive the damage is.

They also have jobs now too, I'll summarize all of their jobs based on the rarities:

Mains

Dandy - New owner of the gardenview factory that's now been turned into a museum

Astro - One of the tour guides in the museum/Head security

Bandy - Owner of an all treating hospital

Vee - Owner of a gameshow

Sprout - Owner of a diner

[REDACTED] - Supervisor/Salesman of the Gift shop map in the Museum

Shelly - Head tour guide

Pebble - Is just there

Rares

Flutter - Security of the museum

Glisten - Fashion Show once Vee's done in the Gameshow

Gigi - Tattoo artist

Goob - Supplier for Glisten's outfits for the Fashion Show

Scraps - Designer for Glisten's outfits for the Fashion Show

[REDACTED] - Engineer/Mechanic

[REDACTED] - Entertainer/One of the Tour guides

Uncommons

Brightney - Owns a library that hosts a book club every Friday

Connie - One of the Caretakers of a nearby daycare in the museum (Just tells stories towards children)

Finn - Fisherman/Supplier of getting pearls or any valuable shell or smth else in the sea

Rodger - Head Officer/Owner of a Police station

Toodles(She became an uncommon surprisingly) - None since she's still a child

Razzle and Dazzle - One of the security in the museum

Teagan - Designer/Maker of jewels such as bracelets and other accessories

Commons

Poppy - Vee's personal Assistant and Advertiser

Boxten - Owner of a Jewelry shop

Tisha - Waitress/Janitor for Sprout's Diner

Cosmo - Co-owner of Sprout's Diner

Looey - Main Caretaker in the Daycare

Shrimpo - Professional Boxer

Yatta - Caretaker in the Daycare

Christmas Toons

Bobette - Supervisor/Assistant for Dandy

Coal - Is just there

Ginger - One of the chefs in Sprout and Cosmo's (unnamed) restaurant

Rudie - One of the security in the Museum

The redacted ones are my friends' ocs

This is just a small rant, just a reminder as well that this takes place after the ichor operation, meaning that everyone turned into twisteds in the end with no cure but to gain self-consciousness and control on the excess ichor.

I want to say it here now as well, during the ichor operation, there are no clones and such, meaning, the first days of the operation is quite easy for majority of everyone but as soon as more begin to fall into twisteds, the harder it became to avoid them. Although it is limited to a degree when it comes to higher floors.

This is my rant so yes, enjoy the doodles as well :3

OMG BANDY AND AU LORE DROP OMG THANK YOU??? THIS ALL SOUNDS SO COOL??

Warning: :) Angst, verbal fighting, one-sided attraction

☁ The way I had to reread part 13 to see where I left off omgg.

☁ So, from what I've read (Like it's not my own universe), the team left off on a good spot! Which leaves me, as the write, in a not good spot, because how could i ruin them?

☁ Easily.

☁ Things were...tense, admittedly. It had been a few weeks since you went to the boys with your concerns about your own state of health. Slowly, there were improvements with their involvement, especially in regards to spotting Astro.

☁ In fact, you would say you were practically better then ever. Cosmo was an ever present reminder of your progress and how far you've come, always with a soft reminder to be gentle to yourself. Sprout has been more than forgiving when it comes to helping you with your stamina, explaining all the ways he upkeeps his own, giving you little treats to keep you going when it seems you're reaching a breaking point. Astro as well does his own part, at first making his presence noticeable and easily spotted, before slowly re-integrating his normal ways into the mix, re-training your instincts to spot him and recognize his magic signature. There's never a time when he's not encouraging you, or proving that there's nothing wrong with missing him every once in a while as he scares the other toons shitless.

☁ You, personally. thought that everything had gone stagnant, which was appreciated. After being turned, and then the upspike in the Teagan Terror Saga, as you and Cosmo have gone about calling it in between giggles and finally getting Bobette and Rudie back, things had been hectic and you were thankful for a few easy days.

☁ Or, you thought they'd be easy, but lately you aren't sure. Since you're moment a few weeks ago, you had begun to notice...more. Maybe it's since you were tired of being the center of attention- whether it be you were a twisted, freshly returned, or stumbling with your recovery- or because the quiet let you think, but you begun to notice.

☁ You knew Cosmo himself was observant. He knew and watched, and probably spotted things far before it even appeared on your radar, but there was one thing he struggled with. He could notice when an individual was struggling, but he sometimes failed to notice when the relationship between people begun to fray.

☁ Alternatively, that's where you thrived. You knew Rodger and Teagan was destructive from the beginning, and you knew Glisten and Rodger was little more than a fling from Rodger's end. Teagan and Shrimpo immediately made alarm bells ring in your head. Each and every relationship in Gardenview was neatly filed in your own little filing case of information, with new variable weighed in and monitored under your careful watch.

☁ You were sure this one was no different, however, it most likely took longer to spot due to the sheer personal stakes in it.

☁ You'd been on the internet, you've read to joking comments asking if "partners are voted off like in survival". Joking to them, yes, unfortunately, you had very little alternative should that be the case. Your relationships were fine. You and Sprout still shared early morning kisses in the light of the sunrise peaking through the kitchen windows. You and Astro still had your milk and cookies check in every couple of days, just talking and talking until fatigue made your eyelids drop. And you knew you and Cosmo were as solid as ever, introducing a new hobby to try just last week for you two to bond over.

☁ You knew Cosmo's were fine as well. He continuously talked to you about new developments or something either Sprout or Astro said that made him laugh, or in the very least he thought was clever. While you knew it had been a minute since you all had gotten together in a group setting outside of runs, neither you nor Cosmo really suspected a problem.

☁ Which may have been your initial mistake. Because it wasn't you, and it wasn't Cosmo that was struggling. No, it was Sprout and Astro. Something that started so small, you really wouldn't have picked up on it until you overheard a conversation between some of the other toons.

☁ You try not to make eavesdropping a habit, but sometimes you can't help yourself, moreso as you've been trying to make yourself, a familiar face, more available for Bobette and Rudie to find some form of comfort in, even if it's just surface level.

☁ And, it's not like Teagan and Vee were quiet. No, they always talked with a boisterous volume that was probably higher than it needed to be, echoing around the high ceilings of Gardenview.

☁ You knew that most of the female presenting/identifying toons had what they like to call a "girls night" every now and then, but you'd only been invited a few times as you quickly discovered that it was nothing more than gossip and petty backhanded compliments disguised as advice. You'd much rather spend the night with your boys than listening to Scraps hiss something at Tisha while painting your nails and pretending the dig, while not intended to hurt you, still stung.

☁ That being said, they're not quiet and they don't try to be. You hear the quiet little digs at those not there, the attempted mumbles of other theories or relationship hypothesis', but what stops you is the sudden mention of Astro's names.

☁ You know Astro missed Dandy, and you know they still talked every now and then. It wasn't your absolute favorite thing ever, admittedly, and sometimes you wished Astro would look at not only your perspective, but everyone else's as well. Constantly being in contact with the toon responsible for all of this was a choice, but before Dandy was the perpetrator, he was a friend. He had likes, dislikes, opinions further than anything capitalistic, and you knew he and Astro were close.

☁ And if it made the celestial happy, then that was what mattered to you. You'd bite your tongue and keep your spire at bay, snapping at anyone who had anything to say about it. Astro didn't have the most...titanium spine, but you had no problem stepping in and up for him.

☁ But when it came to Sprout? You hesitated. The group were discussing how you, Cosmo and Sprout must've felt about Astro's relationship with Dandy, giggling over the alleged tensions over it.

☁ You swallowed at this, rearing up to step in before it got out of hand before Rudie was waving you down and bashfully asking about where to find the kitchen.

☁ The most important thing was that it was on your radar now. Something you could spot and look for now. You even mentioned it to Cosmo as well, asking if he'd noticed anything. He hadn't, but you knew he'd be looking for it now as well.

☁ It's like a picture book where you're meant to find something in particular. At first glance, with no objective, you'd scan right over it. but now, as you analyze every single interaction happening before you, you spot so many things that you hadn't previously.

☁ You begin to wonder if any of you actually like each other, or put up with each other due to circumstances. The disgusting amount of boundary pushing is alarming and the way the others talk to each other makes your fur bristle now that you focus on it. Especially Astro.

☁ Most conversations center around his role as a celestial, but not what you'd expect. You nearly get into it with Boxten who refuses to elaborate on what he wishes to dream about, but still glares in Astro's general direction. Connie blatantly admits that she spies on the poor moon and Gigi has stolen from him. Predictably, Teagan's own words are accusatory and snotty, telling him he needs to make up his mind while Shrimpo screams at him to shut up. Those two you don't let slide, getting up in their faces and demanding the respect your partner deserves.

☁ Surprisingly, Vee is beside you as well and a good person to talk to. You ask her about previous interactions and realize there's a bit of a pattern as well.

☁ And then there's Sprout. You watch him and Vee talk, the latter doing it on behalf of you admittedly, and he immediately shuts the conversation down the second it turns to the relationship between Astro and Dandy.

☁ The entire situations takes up so much of your attention you very rarely focus on much else, even during runs. There's so much going through your head, that you move through the motions almost mindlessly, picking up supplies, distracting without much hassle. It gives your body something to do while your mind runs through the new information and files it away accordingly.

☁ So when Dandy's fingers suddenly wrap around your wrist as you reach for bandage, it's like you're doused in cold water and thrust back into the current situation. You blink, eyes darting to the pale fingers curled around you, gentle, but still demanding of your attention. He's watching you, eyes shining in the bright fluorescent lights. Your other hand is still wrapped around the tapes needed to pay for the med.

☁ Cosmo is behind you, stuffing his own newly acquired bandage into his apron pocket, eyes immediately locked onto where Dandy is holding you. He's tense, poised to intervene.

☁ Sprout is immediately moving to stand behind you, remind you he's there as support, but he's stopped by one of Astro's blue hands catching his shoulder. You just barely catch the flash of hurt in Sprout's face before he schools his features and levels his stance, angling so Astro's no longer touching him.

☁ This makes Astro himself frown further but he retracts his hand back into his cloak, watching you carefully. You can't see him fully, not from where you're too focused on Dandy in front of you.

☁ You can't bring yourself to look away, but you wordlessly pray one of them backs you up. You don't have the mindset needed to deal with him, and while you normally don't need any support, this time it would be greatly appreciated.

☁ Still, you would play the game. Swallowing tightly, your eyes met Dandy's, flexing the arms in your muscles. "Dandicus." You mutter, feeling the name slide of your tongue like wet cement.

☁ He hums at this, squinting just a bit. "So many thoughts in your pretty little head." He purrs, and it makes goosebump ride up your skin. Something rotten burns in your gut and this time, you dare a glance back at your boys. Sprout goes to step forward again, but Astro grabs the back of his sweater this time, eyes practically pleading with the berry to cool down. Sprout can't hide the anger in his face nearly as quick as he did last time.

☁ Cosmo is quick to step in instead, remaining a wordless support in the face of someone as unpredictable as Dandy.

☁ "...I don't know what you mean." Is what comes from your mouth, putting the tapes back and deciding to go without the bandage if it means getting you out of this conversation faster.

☁ "Nonsense. Come now, what's distracting my favorite distractor?" The hand tightens just a bit, and you bite your tongue to keep from wincing. "I'm your favorite? Don't go breaking Pebble's heart like that."

☁ Dandy laughs at this and the sound is reminiscent of your nightmares. "Oh, barring Pebble then." The grin he gives you makes you frown, stepping one of your feet back far enough it knocks against Cosmo's.

☁ The simple action makes Dandy's hand tighten further against your flesh, and now you know there will be a bruise. You give a testing tug back to retrieve your arm back, but the action seems to anger him and before anyone can stop him, Dandy is yanking you so close you can feel his breath on your cheeks, making your gut drop to your ass.

☁ His eyes flare red and you're reminded all too much of the day of the outbreak. "Don't make me do something I'd regret, darling," He sneers, his other hand trailing a claw along the underside of your jaw. "I'd hate to have to break you."

☁ You close your eyes before Dandy is suddenly stumbling back which stuns him into letting go of your arm. You immediately scramble back, tripping coincidentally over Cosmo's foot and landing on your ass as your chest heaves watching Dandy blink and catch the tapes. His eyes never stray from you though. They watch you the entire time even as his booth begins to sink and the sides fold over to lock him below.

☁ However, the elevator begins to rise and your thrust back into the moment all over again, eyes darting over to the lever to send the elevator back to the lobby. Sprout's hand is locked over it, sending it back, but you can't focus on the strain against his knuckles or the quiver in his wrist. No, you're watching his eyes lock onto where Dandy normally comes from, frantic and...nervous.

☁ Cosmo helps you up and you recognize the look on his face. It's the same one he had when you and Teagan got into it. He knows a fight is arising on the horizon, only there's an added layer of calculations there, wondering if he can act fast enough to defuse it. You're not even sure there is a way to defuse it.

☁ Astro refuses to look at any of you, looking alarmingly pale as he tightens the hold on his cloak, looking to the side instead.

☁ You feel nauseous as the elevator docks and Sprout immediately stalks out and towards the direction of your room, with the rest of you following. His leafy tail gives a whip behind him as he practically throws the door open, yanking his scarf off and tossing it to the side. He begins to pace, the way he normally does when he doesn't know what else to do, and you scurry to the bed. Cosmo follows, watching you grab Astro's pillow and hold it to your chest before burrowing into him.

☁ Astro is the last to come into the room, closing the door much more softly then it was opened. He doesn't stray far from it, leaning against it like it was his own version of a safe haven. The thought stings, but you're too busy watching Sprout and Astro to think further on it.

☁ "What was that." Is what Sprout settles on, stopping the furthest point away from Astro in his pacing track. One of his hands rub the area between his eyes as he sounds exhausted, but frustrated no less.

☁ Astro swallows at this, looking to the side before taking a breath. "I...Understand that-"

☁ "Do you? Do you understand?" Sprout whips around so fast his tail thwaps against the bed frame and you and Cosmo wince at the sound. "Because I don't think you do."

☁ "I do understand that what just happened was unacceptable-" Astro tries again, but Sprout seems to have either found his footing, or lost the fucks needed to care about holding his tongue as the berry is quick to cut in once more.

☁ "And yet, you excused it." Sprout snarled. "Not just excused it, but you stopped me from intervening. I'm sure if you were closer, you would've stopped Cosmo too!"

☁ Astro looks like he sucked something sour at the accusation, his lower arms falling from where he uses them keep his cloak shut. They're balled tightly in his cloak, knuckles turned white from the frustrations of it all. "We have no idea what Dandy is capable of. We can't act irrationally when it comes to him or else we put not just ourselves, but them at risk as well." He gestures to where you and Cosmo are seated, as if you two aren't privy to this very argument.

☁ "So letting Dandy manhandle them is better?!" Sprout scoffs like Astro just said the sky was polka-dotted. "I believe any reaction I deem worthy of that situation is far from irrational. If anything, what you pulled back there was irrational!"

☁ "I was being irrational?! Because I wouldn't let you go off again just for Y/N to pay the consequences?!" Astro's heated at this point, his normally calm demeanor melting away as he stomps a foot forward.

☁ You, like a rational, reasonable adult, hide in your pillow and Cosmo, heart hurting at the sight before you but not knowing where or how to step in.

☁ "Oh, is that the reason you're giving?! Because I have another thought as to why you stopped me." Sprout steps forward as well, pointing at Astro before continuing to close in on Astro. "I think you hated having to chose between Dandy and us at last. And I think I know who you chose."

☁ "I didn't chose anyone over another. There should be no question over who I'd chose-"

☁ "But there is! There is question, at least from me! Because you know what that just proved to me?!" Sprout's eyes are glossy now and you cling to Cosmo, who returns the hold. Even Astro looks like he's near tears, just barely holding it in against the accusations thrown his way. But Sprout's not finished. "It proved to me that even after everything, you'll still pick him. I can forgive the ichor operation, I can forgive the bleeding us dry for a chance to survive, I can forgive all of that to an extent, but Astro..." Sprout's words turn pleading at this point and the first tear drips down his cheek. "He had his hands on Y/N. He had one of us, and you still were willing to give him a chance. How many chances are you willing to give him before something irreparable happens? What if it happens to me, or Cosmo, or Y/N? Then what?"

☁ Astro swallows at this and his head bows for a second, shoulders heaving before he snaps his head up. "He doesn't have anyone else-"

☁ Sprout guffaws at this, like he both can't believe Astro actually said that and knew that's exactly what he was gonna say. "And why do you think that is?! Ichor be damned, Astro, do you know what the others think about this-!?"

☁ " I KNOW." The sudden sharp uprise in volume shocks you and Cosmo both as all three of you (Sprout included) immediately snap to look at Astro. His cloak is loosely hanging of his lower too arms with hands that are practically frantic in keeping it tethered to his form, his upper hands too busy yanking at his fur and hat. "I know what they all say. Do not mistake my silence for ignorance. That's an insult to my own intelligence and awareness. But I also am all too aware of the alternatives. Do you think I like pretending I don't notice it all? The ichor, the machines, the fucking twisteds?! Do you think I like hearing the whispers about me when they think I don't notice? Or seeing how they see me in their own unconscious?! Because I don't."

☁ There are tears streaming down his face and your heart absolutely shatters at the sight, but he's on a roll and refuses to give it up. "I see everyone's dreams, Sprout. Not limited to yours, or theirs, or even the others, but everyone's. Dandy included. I see what even the most polluted ichor cannot hide. Beneath all that he's still him. You may not have known him as long, but I did." Astro throws a hand up, and his hat nearly falls. "You don't blame Y/N for what Ciara did, do you?! Or Cosmo for what he did as a twisted?! I'm not excusing what Dandy did, believe me, if it were up to me I would've plucked him, petal by fucking petal right then and there, but I also how batshit fucking insane he can be. Look at Blu and Oakley, for heaven's sake, he switched our abilities."

☁ Astro takes a final breath before deflating. "I couldn't risk any of us, especially since we were trapped in that elevator with him. If we had acted to rashly, he would've snapped and that scares me more than anything. I never would've let him push further than the arm thing, which in hindsight, I agree, I shouldn't have stopped you, but I knew I could stop him discreetly. How do you think he fell?" One of his star shards whirs beside his head before it takes his cloak and sets it on the corner of the bed.

☁ "I'm sorry, Sprout. Regardless if I never intended for it be questioned who I would chose, that is what happened, and for that I apologize. I would chose you all, every single time. No question or hesitation." His eyes shine with a determination you've very rarely seen from the celestial, blinking when it turns to focus on you. "And I apologize to you, Y/N. I realize you must've felt unsafe and betrayed when I didn't let Sprout closer. I just..." He struggles to find his footing for a second. "I wished to mitigate the damage Dandy was capable of causing."

☁ You frown at the level of upset in his voice. "Oh, Astro, I knew you'd never let anything actually happen." You struggle for a second, suddenly thrust into the argument. "Astro, you know you don't have to take this burden alone though, right?"

☁ This makes the celestial blink in disbelief. "Unless you can suddenly enter dreams-"

☁ "No, no, that's not what they mean." Cosmo shakes his head. "It's more with...everyone else. It's not fair for you to hold this entire burden on what could happen. If this friendship you have is damaging, you don't need to keep it for our sake."

☁ You nod at this. "Exactly. I'm pretty tough believe it or not. I don't want you hurting yourself just to placate his temper tantrum." You pause, looking over at Sprout. He's wiping his eyes, all fire from earlier died out and smothered. You see it all for what he was. He was terrified of what just happened and didn't know how else to express it.

☁ "You guys always go on about me being more careful, but I think in return we all have to be a bit more...trusting of each other." You shrug. "We're thinking creatures, we make mistakes. What's important is that we learn from them and each other." You nod over at Sprout. "Even if some of us approach the issues less then gracefully."

☁ Sprout scoffs, but there's no venom. Just as he opens his mouth though, he squeaks as Astro wrapped all four arms around the berry, squeezing him tightly. Sprout squirms, but eventually relents. "You made me cry, you....dumb moon."

☁ "I'm sorry."

☁ "Next time we need a signal if you're going to use your freaky stars."

☁ "I-...We'll make one."

☁ Finally, after a moment, Sprout's own arms wrap around Astro and hold him tight. The image makes you smile, lowering Astro's pillow- which you had been clutching like a lifeline- and leaning onto Cosmo.

☁ Your heart thrums in content happiness at the feeling of everything slowly falling into place once more.

☁ Sitting up behind you, Cosmo stretches before rolling his shoulders. "Good, we all kiss and made up. How do you guys feel about a date night?"

☁ The suddenness of it all makes Astro guffaw before Sprout is laughing, shaking his head even if he remains wrapped in Astro's arms. "That...That sounds perfect honestly."

☁ For now, Dandy is another issue for another day.

AN: All interactions written about between the other toons and the MBC crew are based on their canon interactions. Like, they all lowkey seem like they hate each other? Is that just me? IDK if I'm looking too much into it, but just reading through Astro's made me sad, because Boxten's? Teagan's? Like my poor baby and he's always apologizing for everything :((( Someone give him a hug :((

[eclipseberrycake]

Rehabiliation au hcs [Also Cyra there]

Astro:a little bit traumatized but Trying tô help the toons Go back to normal

Shelly:It okay,she's Alright,she is the one who Cares more About the toons

Vee:She's good a little bit glitchy but she i Still alright

Sprout:calm but Also hás anger issues he Just Evreyone tô Go back to normal

Cyra:Alright but still energetic,she is alright with evreything

Dandy:dead inside,depressed,blames himself for evreything [LOOK HOW YOU MASSACRE MY BOY DELILAH,FU## YOU]

FINALLY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE REHABILITATION AU THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME YAP ***AND*** INCLUDING CYRA??? I LOVE YOU/P

ANYWAY- here are some of my own thoughts gvnogn not much but some

Astro: Astro for sure is working on double time trying to help everyone sleep, because he knows that a group of sleepless toons is a one way ticket to disaster, even if he himself is running on pure fumes.

Sprout: Him having angry outbursts is reasonable. There was one video on Tiktok, if I find it I'll link the creator, where Sprout was trying to heal Cosmo as a Twisted, but instead summoned a vine which hurt him, and I imagine he has some leftover frustration regarding that. He probably can't heal for a while, and he has to be careful between sprouting vines and generating a heal.

Cyra: I imagine she does her best, both as security detail and working with Astro to keep the other toons on track, but she sometimes slips herself. She probably stays up at night, despite Astro's pleas for her to get some rest, because her passive lets her keep a close eye on any fluke escaped Twisted- even if they're no longer there. If there are no red eyes popping up everywhere, she calls it a good night.

Dandy: I've alluded to his return in my main series, and I think he does show remorse absolutely. He can't maintain any form of contact with anyone for long periods just because he can't stand seeing the scars of what they've done. He can't look at the bronze plates bolted into Vee, trying to reform her body once again. Or the stains on Astro's hands as he mindlessly does something.

If this is Sunflower, I imagine there's a lot of Trauma between Cyra and Dandy as well. She probably sees his twisted every time she turns too fast in Gardenview, remembering that fateful day, and he knows he both can't let that remain, nor approach her to mend it. She has to come to him in a neutral manner, both carefully avoiding the topic until one of them is brave enough to break into the surface head first.

If there was an AU where I would say Sunflower is the most plausible, I think for sure it would be this one because to Cyra, distracting was never a virtue thing like it may be to others, but it was simply her job. And if anyone is going to understand a job, it'll be Dandy.

She's colored now :D

( Yes those are little stars on her tail... AHHH )

The only reason I made her a living clock is because I wanted her to match Astro :/

So now we have Carmine( or Charlie ) the alarm clock :0

Health: ♡ ♡

Extraction speed: ★★

Speed: ★★★★

Stealth: ★

Abilities:

Ring ring: this ability allows you to call all twisted to them aka a built in air horn :/

this one is just an idea

Time change: when the elevator countdown begin this ability will allow you to put 10 more seconds on the clock.

Okay im grieving about the new sprout and rnd interaction and its implications so im gonna ramble for a bit seeing as YOU...., you. You started my moonberry shipping. (Affectionate)

Sprout is so wary of him. Ouch. I knew canon wise they never really talked but having it be explored more hurt 💔🙏 i always wanted to envision moonberry as like, given how theyre both mains and grew up with each other and did frequent episodes with one another,

I'd like to think they were close to a degree before it all happened, dare I say Sprout had managed to gain some feelings for the celestial with how much time they felt they've spent with one another.

But there's just one thing.

Dandy.

Oh dandy.

(Side tangent—I do not think he is evil. Boo. Making characters be plainly evil is so boring make them complex and morally ambiguous THEN we'll talk.)

I'm rambling but I think he's more of like. Well, given how Delilah had a lot of authority and control over him, he was more of.. a pawn, she used, and he was willing. (Her favorite sacrificial lamb, and he relished in being her favorite, no matter how much it felt wrong or no matter how much it hurt. He needs her approval. He needs to be loved.)

Cough. Anyways enough this is a moonberry rambling.

Given how astro was one of the first few toons besides dandy himself, I do imagine they were close at some point, while sprout was more neutral with him, moreso tolerating him.

But then the incident happened, and then the museum shut down.

And i like to think its.. bittersweet.

The way they both navigate towards their feelings both from the past and future are... Hard. It takes time. And trust. A lot of trust. Mostly on Sprout's part because I feel like he took it personally, when Astro was just really conflicted at the time. But, with both of them dealing with the grief and fear of the museum shutting down and what that meant for their existence and very purpose... Yeah, neither are in the best state of mine and accidentally end up hurting each other despite trying not to.

They have the "i quietly resent you for trusting someone who's brought us a lot of pain and despite that choose him over us, over ME. and I am trying to forgive you and trust you but its hard. But i love you, I do, of course I do." Dynamic between them and it kills me

Okay ( disappears. )

All of Sprout's new interactions have me in a chokehold. his interaction with Shrimpo? Deceased. His interactions with Looey? Skinned me. PLEASE RAMBLE TO ME ALL THE TIME-

(I love infecting all of you >:))

See I havent seen this interaction yet but omg this gutted me-

See I see their relationship almost the exact same way. Like I've mentioned before, I truly believe they all were close because they were all they had. I think their handlers were...well, human. They were trying to survive and I think that Delilah and Arthur probably paid them enough to do as told with little question. This being the segregation of the mains and the Commons. Which is why I think the mains were so close. Some probably got closer than others, but I imagine Sprout and Astro were close, but Im biased based on how I've characterized them tbh.

I know the interaction between Sprout and Astro adds to this whole thing as well.

In my own little universe, Sprout falls hard and fast, and he cares so much. Like, he's always looking out for the people around him, and Astro is no exception. Their interaction proves this because like Sprout is watching him during the run, even if Astro doesn't think so.

I've tried painting this picture of Dandy in my universe where he is in fact very morally grey and unpredictable because of it. Truly evil? No. A capitalist? Absolutely. I think he absolutely does want to see the toons succeed in reversing the ichor operation but like the big pharma industry (Allegedly), he's gonna profit off them while they do it. I totally love and agree with your point between him and Delilah, where he was willing because it gave him favor and that was the most valuable thing out there. Additionally however, I tack on that the ichor poisoning took this as well and twisted and warped it into something a little more devious. Rotten if you will. Like impulsive thoughts. I don't wanna say intrusive because there's a lot of stigma surround that and I don't want to add to it, but impulsive for sure.

One thing I think that really adds to this entire thing, and something I think I'm gonna use in the next MBC Part is the interaction between Astro and Pebble. Because this is one of the only one interactions, to my knowledge (off the top of my head), that shows genuine care/worry towards Dandy. So talking about this moonberry dynamic, I imagine if Sprout ever heard this, it would hurt. It would feel like a betrayal. Because I, a million percent, believe Sprout one thousand percent blames Dandy for this entire thing.

This I imagine makes their already tense and fraying relationship feel like rope held over a flame. It's taut and some think it's only a matter of time. But that's what makes this entire dynamic so fun.

Astro can't just forget his relationship with Dandy, and he's forgiving to a fault. Sprout can't allow for any leeway since he's been burned one too many times. Both are too stubborn for change though.

So this, with your last point? Angst is angsting. Because I think that's a lot of their relationship. Sprout does have some resentment towards Astro for the forgiveness he's willing to extend Dandy, even if it's through just worrying for his well being. Astro himself can't bring himself to sever the relationship, even if it threatens every other friendship in his life. He knows Dandy's hurt the others, but he also knows that wasn't just Dandy at work in regards to the Ichor operation.

But Sprout cannot let Astro go, but letting him go is letting his beating heart go. Because even in the depths of it all, he knew if he had no one else, he'd have Astro.

I kinda want to rant abt my au but I don't really wanna bother you much.

So here's sum doodles(I kinda got lazy in the end-)

Sprout has a paralyzed eye in my hc(or more like au), reason is bc of Pebbles wanting a little snacky from him and is blocking his way in every step, thus resulting of him tripping down the stairs and hit his head(or close to the eye) a bit too hard-

Please bother me. I love when yall talk to me. Im lonely. -/hj LOOK AT THE DOODLES OMG

Also love how pebble is just a menace to sprout in every universe ive ever seen them interact and the HC IS SO COOL OMG??? STEALING IT??? /lh

❄️ Anon here, just wanted to stop by and wish you a good week and to ask a question. What are your opinion on rarepairs? Do you have any that interest you? Two that interest me the most is AngryTissues (Shrimpo and Tisha), along with FishCookies (Ginger and Finn).

hello hello anon! I hope your having a good week as well! I love rarepairs! Ive never heard of fishcookies but now that I have omg??? I LOVE IT???

I like Gigi x Boxten tbh! But you never see anything for them which is a shame because the dynamic is so fun! You have the mischievuous and prankster Gigi x the nerdy, unsure boxten? I love it. Eating it. give me fifteen.

I also dont know if this counts as rarepair, since she's so new, but Shrimpo and Yatta? PLEASSSSEEE I LOVE THEMMM Their interactions? SO FUN.
