Night cap (Ending 2) (Astro x reader)

Poll under the fic to choose the next ending

Notes: gn toon reader, possible ooc, pre game, sleepy astro, astro isnt so much awkward more so he doesnt really know how to like. be romantic. subtle hint dropping that he wants to spend more time with you, mutual pining, open ended i SWEAR some of these will end with a kiss its just not all of the toons strike me as the type to kiss casually during a game </3, first fic/piece of writing after my return from my mental health break so i may be a little rusty, poll at the bottom to determine the next winner of course! note that may or may not be needed since im writing this before the final vote and its CLOSE so this may be repeated if astro isnt the winner for ending 2- but the poll will be shortened from 1 week to 3 days for now!! no real reason for this asides from "im itching to write and i dont have many ideas for fics and this is really one of the only two writing projects that arent for october that i have going on rn"

Word count: 2.7k

CWs: none

Everyone’s eyes glue onto you as you reach your hand into the opening of the sack and pull out…

Something soft. Almost fuzzy in your fingers as your thumb subconsciously rubs circles into whatever you were- the material almost soothing in your grasp. You had absolutely… no idea what it could be or who had put it in- at least, you didn’t until you pulled the item out into the open. A bluish purple night cap… and in an instant your eyes were on Astro. You didn’t even notice until now that he had taken his cap off and he looked… so weird without it. Quickly- almost too quickly, like you were offended to see him without the accessory- you stretched your arm out to him. 

“I uhm… think this is yours..” You mumble under your breath. Astro’s blanket shifted just enough to free one of his hands… his actions almost seem. Tense under all the eyes on him. “It is,” He finally managed to draw out after an odd pause of silence. From the corner of your eye you catch Dandy’s jaw grow tense for half a second before he ordered the two of you to go to the gift shop. 

He didn’t have to tell you twice- Astro seemed more than happy to get out of everyone’s line of sight as he backed out of the crowd; only slowing down just enough to allow you to catch up to him without having to go over a brisk walk. 

“Nerves?” You ask softly as soon as you are both out of earshot. 

“I don’t blame them for staring, but…” The toon trailed off as you stepped through the gift shop’s main door… it didn���t take long for it to click that you were both meant to go into the storage room. How Dandy had managed to unlock the door was something you’d have to touch on later… Astro lets you step through first. 

“Right… you don’t like having eyes on you,” You commented as you looked through the room. It was dim. The lightbulb had burned out, or maybe Dandy had taken it out to add to the mood of the game. Whatever mood he was hoping to achieve though… you had no idea. Being locked in a room for seven minutes wasn’t the worst thing in the world but you weren’t too keen on a room that smells vaguely of dust and old paper… fabric that needed washing- the material having captured the scent of the air around it… mostly shirts of less popular characters. You feel a soft pang for Shelly. 

“At least it’s dim in here, hard to see…” You trail off as you give Astro a glance over your shoulder. The blue crescent of his face glowed softly and doused the room in its hue. 

Ah…

You had forgotten that was something he could do- and something that he didn’t exactly have control over. 

“That’s alright, honestly it’s better this way- it's a little… spooky in here, all dark and stuff,” You try to shift the subject as you press yourself into the wall and allow yourself to sink to the floor… only somewhat comfortably. Hard wood could only feel so nice. 

Astro followed inside- and just when you thought he was going to take the wall opposite to you… he slips to the floor a few feet to your right. Enough room to give you your space, but close enough to ensure that you both didn’t need to talk across the room to hear one another. 

He shifted himself to try to become more comfortable. 

Hard floor or not, he already looked about ready to lay down for a nap. A part of you envied him for being able to sleep anywhere. He slumped slightly into the wall- almost melting right into it. 

The silence drags on for a few seconds. You didn’t know what to say and Astro- as always- looked ready to doze off. You were convinced that if he wasn’t on his feet and surrounded by the others and- more than likely encouraged- joined the game he would have already found a nice quiet corner to rest after such a busy day. 

He’d be valid for that. Even with less visitors focused on you, the constant bouncing between floors to help everyone prepare for the party had left you a little worn down. 

“Your hats soft,” You suddenly blurted out. Astro’s closed eye cracked itself open. 

“Like, the.. Fabric-” You continued on. No shit the fabric was soft. What else could you have been referring to? Your hands shift around against the floor- the tip of one of your fingers tapping against the wood. 

“Yeah…?” Astro shifted his head to prop it on his shoulder. 

Your eyes lingered on his face for a second or two before you stared straight ahead- the reminder of his hate of being stared at hanging in the back of your mind. 

Though… he didn’t seem to hate it as much when it was just you. Or maybe just one person.

“I could give you one of my blankets,” Astro spoke up after the moment of silence stretched on a little too long. “I’ve got more than I need, I need to free some space anyway,”

You steal a glance from the corner of your eye. “You? Need space? Your rooms massive, Astro-” 

It’s a light tease but it was the truth. All the mains had massive rooms- in fact they all had their own dedicated floors… on top of the themed floors that were open to visitors. Astro’s personal room shared the same overall feel of his themed floors. But there were more areas dedicated to rest. Sofas, bean bags- his bed was massive and nearly resembled a round nest. The staff were kind enough to keep the Toon’s rooms off limits to visitors. 

“Well…” Astro’s eye dragged itself away from you and settled to his feet… before he tucked them under the blanket he clung to. “The offer is still up… Most of them are blue.. Purple… but I think I’ve got a few in different colors, if you want something else… scented ones, too,” He rambled before falling silent. “I won’t make you take one, if you really aren’t interested,” 

The tapping finger against the floor grew still and curled to match the rest of your hand. “I wouldn’t mind looking through your collection- maybe we can run up real quick to your room to sift through it,” You flash a smile. “So long as it doesn’t take all night- I’d like to at least enjoy the party a little more before everyone winds down for the night,” A soft laugh. Astro actually returned it. 

“I’m sure it won’t,” Astro hummed. His jaw visibly tensed as he bit back a yawn. Today really must have been taxing on him. 

“For your sake so you don’t fall asleep?” 

Astro lightly waved your jest off with a hidden hand. “Only a little,” 

Another beat of silence. 

“Well be sure to eat something when we get back, if you’re going to go to bed after,” You stretched your legs out across the floor once keeping them folded and began to cramp them up. The room was… cool. But not cold… but it still managed to crawl through your form. The wall felt… weird… now warmed from your body heat. 

“Maybe… I’ll think about it…” Astro mimicked your legs- his feet dragging his blanket forward and pulling the material slightly taut. 

“Sprout told me you helped him in the kitchen today,”

Instantly you perked up. “I did! Well- Kinda- I mean, I did help but he did a lot of the…. You know, giving the recipes and making sure I didn’t… you know, mess up?” Your now clammy hands pull off of the floor with a soft peeling sound- the sweat sticking your skin to the polished wood uncomfortable- and rest your palms on your knees, patting them softly before allowing them to come to a rest. 

“I promise I didn’t mix up the salt and sugar again- I swear you’ll have sweet dreams tonight-” It was a bad joke but he at least gave you a pity laugh. 

Astro’s head lowered into the blanket as his shoulders scrunched- he tended to curl into himself when he was laughing.

Maybe… it wasn’t a pity laugh after all. 

“I’m sure if I could I would… your baking is getting better, regardless of any outside help.” His shoulders fell as the roll of laughter calmed itself. The compliment nearly went right over your head. 

Maybe he worded it weird, but…

“You would if you could?” You finally turn your head back to face him. “Are you not sleeping well?”

Astro’s smile falls neutral… but he doesn’t really look uncomfortable or upset about the question. “I don’t dream, I’ve been sleeping well otherwise.” 

He said it so casually. 

“Like you just… don’t dream at all- or like, do you mean to just don’t remember your dreams?”

You catch his hands shifting under his blanket- running over each other you had to guess. “I don’t dream at all,” He shrugged. He didn’t seem all that bothered by it… you weren’t sure if that made you feel better about it, though… not that it concerned you. “I’m more interested in giving everyone else dreams and checking in on them,” He only shrugged.

You shift slightly. 

“I don’t usually pry into other people’s dreams, don’t worry,” He added. You fall still and untense. “It’s… hard anyway, and it’s easier to ask what someone wants than trying to look myself,” He continued on. Astro hardly ever rambled. He wasn’t much of a talker in general… so it was a nice change to hear him lead a conversation. 

“You haven’t seen anything weird from my dreams, right? I’ve been having a few weird ones for a while now-” Your mouth curls into a grin. 

It wasn’t a lie. They weren’t nightmares but they often left you vaguely confused as you woke up. The details that didn’t slip away as you’d wake up only left more questions. People speaking backwards, toons not looking or acting quite right, toons and visitors swapping places. It was… weird but harmless, just to name a few examples. 

“I must have missed it, then,” Astro lowered his head- his brow furrowing in thought. A hidden hand scratched at his chin through the blanket before coming to a rest against his jaw. “I don’t check often… but each time I’m always in your dream- not… me, but…” 

You were dreaming about him. Of course he’d sometimes be there with the others… but there were a handful of times where it was just him. 

They were never intense or embarrassing dreams. But the frequency of which he showed up would make one wonder. You certainly did at each encounter… non encounter. You knew it wasn’t actually him. He acted too differently. Didn’t look quite right- but it was close enough to know it was him. 

A quiet noise came from your mouth before your head turned to the opposite side for a second to look anywhere but him. 

“You look like you’re having fun in them, that’s good… I’m glad I give you good dreams, even if I’m not influencing you,” His hands fall to his lap. He shifted into a more straight position against the wall, the blanket making him slip against the wall slowly over the past few minutes…

How much time did you have left? 

Not much you would assume. 

“Well,” Your throat feels awkward- even the back of your mouth felt weird as you tried to pick the right words to not sound as nervous as you felt. There was no reason for your nerves to spark now. It was all innocent, as far as you were aware. 

“You can always come visit, if I can have the real deal-” Your fingers spread across your knees before pressing close to each other a second later. “Of course only if you want to- it feels like I don’t get to see you all that much, since you’re you know…”

“Tired?”

You snap your head back to him and shake it. 

“Busy, more like it. I actually… don’t mind taking a nap with you sometime,” You pressed on even as the glow of his face grew brighter- soft blue shifting paler, closer to white. “I mean- and obviously it’s not your fault but you always get so many visitors… sure not as much as say… Dandy or Vee- or Bobette since she’s…” You trail off. 

“Limited?” His voice has a light waver to it. Like it was coming from the back of his throat- the noise lingering there and rapidly losing momentum as it was pushed out into the air. 

You nod. “Yeah… limited… but- you know, you uhm…” You finally let your odd attempt die off. At least you got your point across- hopefully. 

“Maybe…” Astro didn’t let the air remain quiet for long. Maybe he wanted to keep you from feeling even worse if it had stretched too long… or maybe he already had a response ready before you were done speaking. “We can spend some time together, when Gardenview’s closed,” 

Your eyes darted to him again for a second. “Like on Christmas?”

There weren’t many days where Gardenview was closed. Mostly reserved for holidays… and on occasion when maintenance was required for the building that demanded more than simply closing down an area or two. At your words Astro’s mouth curls back into a soft smile. Faint, barely there… but present. 

“If you want it to be Christmas,” He holds your gaze. You give him a nod. “Right… Christmas.. Today’s the… twenty third, right?” 

Astro hummed.

“Right… Christmas, then- I’ll be sure to hound you as soon as you wake up-” You laughed slightly. Nerves quickly unwound and replaced themselves with a warm giddiness that fought back against the chill of the room. 

The warmth was cut short as a series of knocks reminds you both that you were playing a timed game. 

“Ah,” You mumbled. Time was up, and Dandy’s voice on the other side only cemented that. He didn’t even wait for one of you to speak up before he opened the door- his face softened when he saw you and Astro were a respectable distance away from one another. The light of Astro’s crescent dimmed as the light outside began to floor the room. 

“Time’s up you two,” Dandy leaned forward in the doorway before pulling himself back and stepped aside with a light bounce in his step. Something got him happy, but you were too preoccupied with Astro’s offer of spending time together to ask if you had missed something while you were playing. 

“Do you still want to get a blanket?” Astro asked softly as he shifted out of the doorway behind you. Dandy’s movements stopped for a split second before he resumed his walk down the hall to the party.

“We’ve got plenty of blankets- I made sure of that!” He called over his shoulder. 

Your jaws roll against one another before you find your voice. “Astro’s blankets are softer- we’ll be back soon- promise!” 

The flower doesn’t give you an answer. He simply continued walking a few paces ahead of you and Astro. “We’ll just take the elevator… and we’ll come right back,” You added, though mostly under your breath. 

“I already have a few ideas of which blankets you might like, we shouldn’t be long…” Astro completes your murmur as you briefly rejoin the party and turn to one of the massive elevators. You only vaguely note what everyone else was doing before they regathered for another round of the game. 

“You’ll have to show me which ones you made,” Astro suddenly said. 

Your eyes followed his to the table full of treats near the entrance of the room. The door closed as you pinpointed the plate of cookies you had baked. Ginger was kind enough to arrange them nice and pretty on one of the nicer plates. 

“Will do,” You nodded softly.

The ride up was… nice. The soft shake of the elevator is enough to keep you in the moment. It wasn’t long until the door opened again and Astro led you to where he kept his collection of blankets.

You could only hope it wouldn't take too long. If you were lucky there’d still be some of your cookies left behind- maybe spared by toons who had a rather nasty sweet tooth. 

Hopefully…

Astro yearning plz 🫶

Astro Yearning For The Reader!

Here to feed the Astro simps! Here you go, dear, hahaha, I love you so much, thank you for requesting! <3

-Anna

-Astro is not usually so clingy but there are many times where he feels like yearning for you so much! It's usually when he hasn't felt your touch in so long and after a long day. Your presence calms him down and makes a smile grow on his face. Astro always likes to lean against you as you hold him close, he feels his muscles relaxing almost immediately while he hears your sweet voice and feels your arms around him. He likes staying quiet as he listens to you talk about your own day, replying here and there.

-Your voice is enough to make him sleepy and he sometimes tends to sleep in your arms peacefully. It's something you are used to but Astro sleeps extra quickly when he is by your side and in your warm embrace. He has a smile on his face as he gathers his energy throughout his nap. Sometimes you like to sleep together like this with him as he takes a nap and when he wakes up, he always has enough energy to send you a good dream as he lovingly caresses your face.

-When you are away, he really wants to be by your side but he knows that sometimes your schedules just don't usually allow it. You have other toons you promised to hang out with or things to do related to you and just life in gardenview in general. You know that Astro likes to take naps often and you wish to not disturb him as he needs all the energy he can get to give everyone good dreams at night. Though a lot of times, he makes up for it by spending time with you as much as he can. You are the only one where he can relax and save energy even when he spends time with you.

-But sometimes he does find it in him to maybe just.. look for you. He can't really help it, he yearns a lot for you and it's hard to stop it when he knows you are in this place somewhere. Astro really misses how your arms feel around him or even laying against you. If he sees you not so busy, he will come up to you and greet you happily, wanting to spend time relaxing with you. If you are, he just softly smiles at you before going back to his room and hope you come back soon.

-One thing you do which he really appreciates it is if you bring the fluffiest blankets and best pillows for you and him to cuddle in and just quietly talk about your day as he can stay awake now. If you feel tired, he might encourage you to sleep so he can give you the best dreams. He can also just sneak in your dream and do things together with you when he couldn't during the day. Though Astro doesn't mind if you wanna focus on your dream, he feels happy seeing you smile and having fun with what he came up for you.

-If you are a toon that stays awake quite late, Astro is happy to spend time with you doing anything. He might need to focus on checking on everyone's dreams and making sure everything is okay but after he is done, he is happy to focus on you only. He doesn't let you stay up for TOO long though, but if you are a toon that stays up all night like him, he feels happy sleeping with you during the mornings, hoping that his powers still reach you to give you lovely drrams.

-Astro will get pretty moody if he hasn't spend any time with you. He knows sometimes it's really hard but he really wants to be by your side and feel you close to him. When you hold his cheeks so gently and stroke them, he feels himself smiling and blushing as he leans into your touch more and more. He is not particularly mean to others but it's pretty obvious that he feels pouty and misses you so so much. He just wants to relax and sleep in your arms or even just stare into your lovely face.

-He might find himself walking to find you without himself realizing, his eyes half closed, not really paying anything any attention as his only goal is to go to you. Someone might have to snap him out of it by calling his name loudly or even shaking him a bit. Astro doesn't really realize what he does but they are times where he finally finds you and lays against you, even if he is LITERALLY standing up and he still manages to sleep there!!

-It doesn't even matter what you do or even how much you move, because Astro is in deep sleep as he is simply smiling and leaning against you! Hell, you could even start walking and he is STILL on you! At least he does this on your back usually to not disturb you too much or limit your movements. You don't know how but even if you get up or sit down, Astro is literally unfazed as he does the same. You don't know if you should feel amused or concerned but you can tell he feels calm and relaxed.

-Astro just can't seem to stay away from you for too long. Your touch is very calming and he is addicted to it, okay? Don't judge him too much! He really just wants to lean against you and yearns for you so much when you are away for too long. He also just wants to hear your voice, even if he is taking a nap on you. Your voice is like a sweet melody to him or even the things you do, he really likes hearing it as he sleeps unless you are working on something that makes a lot of noise, but they are times where he sleeps through it.. surprisingly.

Thank you for reading! <3

Boxten with an older sister toon reader please! Reader's usually calm and chill but is overprotective when it comes to him, especially during the ichor outbreak. Platonic ofc and thank you!

Note: I'm not the one who's made for writing comforting words. AHJSD...lol, you see...Anyways, hope ya like it:) Sorry for taking so long,,, I HAD TO REWRITE CAUSE IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE??? Do not let someone like me who's bad at Literature write this istg

Boxten x older sister!reader (platonic)

BOXTEN:

You're someone that Boxten could proudly admit that he cared about. Always there to help him whenever things go wrong, and even spends time making gifts for the music box. Words cannot explain how appreciative Boxten is when it comes to you, and how he tends to look at you with fondness whenever you wave at him with your signature smile. But he gets extremely worried when you keep on risking your life for him, not that he hates it, of course. But Boxten wasn't too keen on the thoughts of you getting hurt because of him, sticking close and protecting him during the ichor outbreak. It tears his heart apart whenever you get hurt, simply shrugging off by saying you're fine and that's just a small scratch. He feels guilt creeping in with tons of emotions wavering like a tide around his stupid head, wishing that one day the nightmare would end and that you two could go back to the normal day. Really likes it when you cheer him up. He can't help the embarrassed smile that forms whenever you root him up with a "You can do it!" and "You're the best!", returning a small smile of his own. But what he likes the most is when you comfort him. The way you pat his head and tried a sing a lullaby, he feels those old and nostaglic days came back where you did the same, reciting your favourite and singing out loud to him. Boxten doesn't know why he's on the edge of tears; those sweet memories pain him heavily because he knows that he may not get a chance to experience them again. But then there's you, gently wiping the tears away like a sister would, gently patting his head and looking at him with that soft smile, making him let out a breath he's been holding for long.

"Night." You chuckle." See you tomorrow, Boxten. I promise you that it'll be a great day."

Writing this while being sad IS NOT FOR THE WEAK.

I beg of possessive sprout/GN! reader :3

- 🐺🔥💅

My first anon with emojis, welcome! It took me a while to write this, especially because it was something I was really excited to work on

I'm so sorry for the delay, I hope you like it!

Warnings/Notes: GN!Reader, possessive Sprout, jealous, just a little bit attitude of yandere, maybe..

For as long as you could remember, Sprout was always attached to you like gum, though it was odd—he was a strawberry, not gum.

More than once, your handler (the same one who managed Shelly) had to separate you both when it was time for your strict bed schedules in your respective rooms. Of course, just after midnight, Sprout would show up in your room with his pillow.

You didn’t mind these little things Sprout did at all—sometimes he even brought Cosmo, and it turned into a sleepover for the three of you! It was fun, and the best feeling in the world was taking a breather from everything around you. Especially for Sprout, who spent all day looking after the little ones at the Gardenview Center, not to mention the “special” days of the week with cooking demonstrations alongside Cosmo.

Sometimes, you felt a bit powerless, unable to share or lighten his exhaustion at the end of the day. You’d tell him he could take a break, even offering to keep a few kids with you (even if you weren’t the most popular toon) so he could get a quick rest, but he always turned it down, saying he was fine.

“I’m one of the mains; I can handle this. Besides, you should rest too! I could make you some cookies with Cosmo.”

You loved and hated that concern of his at the same time; sometimes it was overwhelming because, no matter how much you begged or asked him to take a break, the conversation always veered toward your well-being or baking you something you’d like.

Outside of those topics or the times you’d end up pouting in a corner, feeling helpless, everything was perfect. Being with the other toons was amazing; each had their own special charm that always managed to make you laugh. And of course, always with Sprout by your side (weird)—even he enjoyed being with everyone else.

But as they say, it was all too perfect to be true.

Boxten had been the first to be corrupted by the ichor.

Poor Poppy couldn’t believe her best friend had been turned into something like that. None of you believed it until Poppy tried to get close to him and was met with scratches and bruises marked across her skin.

They managed to pull her to safety just in time, bringing her to the elevator, and Tisha took care of her wounds, as there was no toon around who knew how to treat injuries.

"That… that wasn’t Boxten, was it?” you murmured, barely audible, resting your back against the elevator wall as you placed your right hand on the cold floor.

The sudden grasp of someone’s hand startled you for a moment. Turning, you realized it was your favorite strawberry.

Giving you one of his usual (this time, genuinely warm) smiles, he sat beside you, interlacing both your hands.

“You’re alright, aren’t you?” he asked, tilting his head to one side as he looked you up and down, searching for the slightest scratch.

“Yes.. I’m fine… it’s just, ugh.” With your left hand, you rubbed your face, struggling to find the right words for the whirlwind of emotions and thoughts inside you.

None of the toons had seen anything so violent, perhaps aside from the occasional squabble between kids or adults at Gardenview, but nothing like this.

“That thing wasn’t Boxten! It hurt Poppy; it didn’t seem to show her any compassion!” Your voice trembled with every word, and you could even feel your teeth chattering when you stopped talking.

“We saw him just fine this morning… he was fine…”

You began to sob, small tears escaping your eyes as you tried to calm yourself.

Gently, Sprout pulled you close, wrapping you in his arms and pressing you to his chest, with your face right where his scarf lay, not minding if it got wet from your tears.

“Shh… what matters is that we’re okay now, right?” he murmured.

“But Boxten and Poppy—”

“We’re okay.”

This time, it wasn’t a question; it was a confirmation, and you swallowed all your doubts and fears, nodding without another word.

He gave you one of those warm smiles he saved just for you. It was like freshly baked cookies—warm and sweet.

“We’re okay.” You repeated in a low but audible tone, curling up in his arms, trying to keep all the intrusive thoughts at bay.

When all the toons gathered in the lobby, they seemed like angry animals surrounding a single prey they all wanted to hunt down—Dandy.

The poor main seemed so relieved to see you when you arrived, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

“Oh,” he shouted, calling your name from where he was cornered, “give me a hand here! Some of them think there are monsters on certain floors, which is crazy because—”

“You’re trying to involve Y/N in your lie, Dandy?” Sprout interrupted, his voice so low that it startled some of the toons nearby.

“All I’m saying is that some of you are imagining things that aren’t true” Dandy replied, glancing between you and Sprout.

“And Y/N would understand better the lie you’re all plotting to spread. Right?”

Sprout’s grip on your hand tightened as Dandy spoke to you again, greatly angering him.

Why did he have to drag you into this lie he was planning?

“Boxten… that thing wasn’t Boxten. Boxten would never attack or hurt anyone, especially not Poppy.” You managed to say, shaking your head repeatedly as if trying to erase the image of Boxten attacking Poppy.

You could hear the voices of several toons rising as they confronted Dandy about the corrupted versions of various toons they had encountered or been attacked by.

In the midst of this chaos, Sprout’s voice brought you back to the present.

“Let’s go. We could find Cosmo and do something, just the three of us.” His voice was monotonous, but you didn’t pay it much mind, letting him lead the way.

Days went by, each shorter than the last, or one quicker than the next.

Several toons decided to form groups of eight to explore different floors and extract the ichor from some machines; the reasons for it faded from your mind under the stress and anxiety of possibly losing another toon.

What mattered was that you had Sprout, as unusual as he sometimes was.

You were in the elevator with Sprout, Goob, Glisten, Tisha, and Vee. This time, it was only the six of you since Toddles had been hurt by a twisted, and Rodger wanted to look after her.

As usual, you had your hand interlocked with Sprout’s, a gentle comfort.

The usual music from Dandy’s radio reached your ears, and you realized you hadn’t noticed when he arrived.

You turned slightly to look back at him, and when he caught your gaze, he immediately smiled and waved at you.

Not wanting to ignore him, you let go of Sprout’s hand for a moment and waved back.

Not five seconds passed before you noticed how quickly Sprout turned to look between you and Dandy. Dandy’s smile twisted into something that seemed to taunt Sprout without a word.

You looked at Sprout, noticing the leaves casting shadows on his face, making it difficult to discern his expression.

Before you could say anything, Dandy bid only you farewell before lowering his shop lever and disappearing, as he always did when the elevator reached its destination.

“You can wait outside while Goob distracts everyone, okay?” He took both your hands this time.

His sudden shift in demeanor puzzled you, but you simply nodded, stepping out as the elevator doors opened.

Sprout’s smile vanished once you were out of sight, replaced by a dark scowl.

“You shouldn’t lower yourself to Dandy’s level. He only does that to make you jealous,” Vee commented, her sudden presence by his side not surprising him at all.

“He thinks he’s the center of the universe with Y/N’s attention” he retorted, frowning at the thought of the bothersome flower.

“And you keep playing his "little, stupid and silly game".”

“I’m going to Y/N; I don’t trust Goob enough to keep all the twisteds distracted.” He changed the subject, moving in your direction.

“Let they breathe a little; even I’d feel suffocated if you were on me 24/7,” Vee commented, her tone serious.

Sprout halted, giving her a dark yet blank stare.

“Who are you to debate that?”

Without waiting for a response, he left the elevator, heading toward where you were. He’d left you alone on that floor long enough and still didn’t trust Goob’s distraction abilities.

Meanwhile, Vee grew frustrated with her friend’s childish, ridiculous behavior. He never seemed to leave you alone, even keeping you in the kitchen just for “company” or to show off his culinary skills.

Sometimes, she thought Sprout was even pushing his own limits, but she still trusted he couldn’t be so possessive.

Well.

She hoped you would set some boundaries too.

dividers by @/bumblethecat ⊹₊⟡⋆

♡ Shrimpo... Oh boy, Shrimpo

♡ Getting him to just not hate you is a challenge all its own, so if you're in a relationship with this shrimp, it means you're probably gonna need patience. Like, a lot of patience.

♡ But, once you're past that, it's surprisingly not the worst!

♡ He's not really used to being friendly with someone, much less being romantic, so he's gonna be... Awkward at times

♡ He probably talks about you really highly, but he does so in the same sort of condescending way he does about himself

♡ Like "[NAME] IS SO MUCH BETTER AT THIS THAN YOU!!! JUST GIVE UP, YOU'LL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS THEM!!!"

♡ He gets flustered really easily, so even something as small as holding hands in front of people is enough to have him refusing to make eye contact with you or anyone else in the room

♡ That said, PDA is usually a no-go unless it is something small like that. Being affectionate in front of other people is embarassing for him...

♡ Immediately on the opposite end of that, though, he's touch starved!

♡ Once you're behind closed doors he'll be a lot more open to affection

♡ He's actually very cuddly, but he's also very stubborn about it

♡ He doesn't like initiating because that means directly asking you for affection in most cases, so sometimes you'll just catch him staring at you with rosy cheeks and have to figure out what he wants from there

♡ On the occasion he does put aside his own pride long enough to ask he'll always yell about how he hates being cold or something, literally anything not to admit he just likes your touch

♡ He prefers positions where you can both wrap your arms around each other, but he doesn't really mind as long as you two are close together!

♡ Onto something completely unrelated, you have to stop him from fighting people a lot

♡ You've become the individual the other toons go to whenever Shrimpo's about to try and beat someone

♡ You always have to grab him and drag him away from whatever confrontation he's in to go calm him down. He'll struggle around and grumble at you the whole time, but he won't try to get away when you let him go...

♡ Everyone is confused as to how you can keep him pacified; You're the only one who's been able to do so without sustaining some variety of injury

♡ You're also usually the one to tend to any cuts or bruises he sustained during the altercation. If you didn't know how to dress a wound before, you're about to learn!

♡ Shrimpo really loves you, even though he's bad at showing it sometimes. He's really trying, please be patient with him!

"...I HATE BEING COLD."

You blinked, looking up from what you had been doing to be met with the flushed frowning face of your partner.

Shrimpo glared at you, though his eyes held no malice; If anything, there was something expectant in them.

You stared back, searching through your brain for what possibly he could want. Seconds passed with nothing but silence between you two, and from an outside perspective, one could easily assume you two were locked in a standoff.

It clicked after a bit. He wanted to cuddle!

You asked him as such with a smile, offering him a seat beside you.

He grumbled something you couldn't make out as he moved to slide in next to you. He didn't object when you wrapped your arms around him, nor did he when you gently pulled him against you.

He sat there for a moment, content to simply bask in your warmth, before slowly returning your embrace.

His grip was tight, just enough so to be secure but not uncomfortable.

...You weren't going anywhere for a while. You didn't mind though. You were happy in each others' arms, even though one of you probably wouldn't ever admit that.

You mumbled out an "I love you" which was met with a huff and a "I HATE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU TOO."

With that, you both fell into a comfortable silence, which would soon become snores as you drifted off to sleep.

He wasn't cold anymore.

Hii!! can we pls have a twisted!astro x reader fluff drabble!! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

Writing this made me realize just how hard it is for me to write something 100% fluffy. Hoping it's fluffy enough.

KISSES FOR THE HEART

Pairing: (Twisted) Astro x reader

Relationship: romantic

Warning: he's a little worried but you're quick to soothe him

Type: drabble (I accidently wrote a little more then what's expected for a drabble)

"Astro, I know you're worried, but... I got this." There was a strain in your voice, Your words a muted whisper as ichor flows through the tubes and into the machine in front of you. You had been extraching for hours. Every new machine you'd come across on each floor slowing down your pace much more than you were prepared for.

"Be careful... Too loud.." Each word he spoke ended with a sound almost akin to that of gargling. The ichor stuck in his throat making it harder for him to tell voice his worries. And so, his sentences were often too short. In worse cases, he sounded incoherent. His body was hovering just beside you, his gaze switching from corridor to corridor as he kept his two top hands in a continuous fidgeting motion.

You knew he was talking about the sound that would occur if you failed. Ever since you had found yourself on this floor, Astro had seemed to follow you around like a lost dog. He was never farther than two feet away, and even when you needed the room, he would still stay planted in your presence. Each machine you worked on, he'd give you the same warning.

Soon, the ichor had filled the machine completely. The black substance stuffed it until there was no room for even the smallest pocket of air. And, once your hands removed themselves from the red valve, the warmth returning to your fingertips, you turned back to face him.

You wasted no time letting your palms cradle the sides of his face. The stream of ichor streaming down onto you and staining your hands with its tar-like substance. He almost flinched under your touch. His body twitching slightly, freezing under your touch before relaxing. Despite how slow your movement was, it didn't take long before you were guiding his face down.

With how tall the ichor had morphed him, your lips were able to plant themselves onto his as easily as you were used to. Yet, even now, you still found ways to kiss him. And, now that you had pulled him down a bit, you quickly stood on your toes and pressed your mouth against his forehead.

"You need to stop being so worried. As long as you're here, nothing will hurt me."

[wafflexdguy]

End Of Abuse.

We're assuming you or they don't immediately brush it off like a Toon would with a Twisted.

==============================================

Shelly

"You're going to be okay..."

Seeing you get hurt really got her worried and pissed off. Shockingly, nobody likes it when their partner is getting attacked by a staff of a place that's supposed to be family friendly. She tries to intervene but the staff just brushes her off. She's effectively untouchable, but that doesn't stop her from reporting them to upper management.

Kids have usually (more commonly accidentally) hurt Toons before, but this was outright intentional, so she wouldn't buy a 'it was an accident' excuse. Because look at you! And look at them! They purposely hurt you! How could they?!

Immediately rushes to help you once the staff finally gets escorted out of the building after Shelly reported them. You don't initially move, just staying completely still; having your hands covering your head in order to protect yourself. It breaks her heart seeing you like this while the other better staff is trying to help you.

Immediately gets separation anxiety. She saw what happened to you, she isn't going to let herself get pushed aside like that again when you're in danger. It's one of her many regrets about that day and constantly beats herself up about it. You might tell her that it's not her fault, that she couldn't do anything about it, but she still feels incredibly guilty about it. 

Even if it were months after the 'incident,' Shelly is still very much paranoid that something like that will happen again. Maybe to a lesser extent but she's still scared that a kid or adult alike could attack you again. Even if you have gotten over the whole thing, she kind of hasn't.

She'll bug upper management to do a bunch of background checks the next time they hire someone. She doesn't have to bug at them to press charges since they're already doing that, probably because most of the other staff members argued to press charges. 

Shelly's heart continues to break if you flinch at so much as someone offering you a high five. If you still have PTSD after the whole incident, she'll offer you to stay around her doing activities like digging up fossils or reading books with her, since she doesn't really have any better alternatives to calm you down or keep you calm. 

Vee

"What a total loser, huh?"

Immediately puts herself between you and the staff. Should the staff try to push her out of the way, that's when she'll attack herself. It's one of the only times where she get's legitimately aggressive and protective over you unless you had anxiety. (In which case, she'll only be protective of you) She yells at them to back off, promptly getting the attention of other Toons or staff members, and you know what happens next. 

You'd think that robots wouldn't have adrenaline, but you'd be oddly wrong in this regard. Because even though the threat at that point is gone, Vee is still very much on fight or flight mode, and her fight mode is most certainly on. She absolutely refuses to leave your side until she's sure you're okay, all the while keeping a face of sternness without leaving your side. It's a side of her that you haven't seen before, something that likely shocked you seeing from her. 

Maybe you'll notice that her tail is twitching with anxiety when she's escorting you to a medical area (I don't know what you'd call them for Toons). Luckily nothing you got was really life threatening; still traumatizing. 

Once everything has cooled down and a few days passed she'll go back to her old self. Don't question how often she invites you to co-host with her on her gameshow. Don't question how often she curls her tail around your waist whenever a loud noise suddenly appears. It's nothing! Just her being slightly worried about you!

She comments on how sucky the person that attacked you was, practically making fun of them in an attempt to cheer you up. If this does or not is up to you.

Vee silently is seething to herself whenever she thinks about that day, how she could have done something sooner or acted faster. It's something she silently seething to herself about, because she doesn't really want to stress you out more than you already are. If you ask if she's alright, she'll just brush the topic off, saying "It's nothin' just thinking about something." She's hesitant to specify as to what.

For all of the information that's stored in her database, she's surprisingly unprepared to deal with your situation. She might know how to handle it, but she wasn't prepared for it. Why would she? Gardenview was supposed to be totally safe! With no way of it closing down due to safety issues.

Immediately after the incident happens, she all of a sudden has all the time in the world for you. You ask her to help you with something? She's right there! Struggling to figure out a answer to a question or problem? Wow, thanks for answering the question, Vee! Need help for burying a body? wHAT-

Off topic, but if she turns Twisted later down the line, she's very much against you getting out of her sight in any form. Effectively making her a possessive girlfriend or partner. Same goes for when she's not twisted, the only difference being that she can't really do anything about you wandering off other than following you, which is what she's more likely to do.

Sprout

"YOUR BEST FRIEND IS SUCH A LOoose-...."

"Finish that sentence, I dare you."

I wouldn't be surprised if the two just went into an all-out brawl. It's one-sided obviously, but like Vee, it caused enough commotion to draw attention, blah blah blah, person gets fired and you're traumatized. Woo.

Sprout being generally overprotective goes into overdrive around you. Not into yandere levels, but it quickly gets exhausting when you have him hovering over you all the time like a curious bee. He isn't exactly subtle about it either, really. In fact, you wouldn't be insane to think he was purposefully showing to be overprotective to discourage anything like what happened to you ever again. To you and any other Toon.

He'll suggest that you stay away from anyone violent, Toon or Human. He's perfectly fine with you hanging out with anyone else though. I mean, you're your own person so he won't force you to not hang out with anyone he doesn't like, but he does get really concerned or suspicious when you do hang out with someone violent.

Sprouts overprotectiveness dies down when you're showing signs of who you used to be. He knows you're recovering and doesn't feel the need to make sure you can hold your own. Because he knows you can after you're showing signs, you're alright. It's still there though, when he constantly asks you to help him and Cosmo to bake something.

He'll let you know if something feels off about any kind of situation that feels off or dangerous, I'd like to imagine that he has that kind of gut feeling of knowing immediately when something is awry. Either way, he won't leave you alone if that's ever the case.

Yeah, this one's short because there isn't anything about him that hasn't been said already. He's overprotective over you, he keeps you away from any potential dangers while also trying to be healthy about it. I don't know what else to put here.

Astro

"A-are you okay...?"

Astro isn't confrontational. So it likely doesn't come as a surprise that he doesn't get involved in the fight. Actually, he's hiding around a corner, stunned at the scene before him for a moment before running to get help. You know what happens next, let's move on.

Everything about the situation caught him off guard. He honestly has no idea what to really do besides just giving you encouragement and giving you better dreams. Unlike the other Main Toons, he asks for help with trying to repair your situation. This primarily is going to consist of going to the caretakers and a couple of other Toons that might know what to do.

That being said, he basically just holds you on a high pedestal for a while. He praises you whenever he sees you being depressed or sad in general and he prioritizes your wants over his owns for a while. All of this is unhealthy, don't make any if's ands or buts about it, but his justification for it is just trying to make you feel safer.

Astro isn't the best with comforting you, regrettably. He tries his best though! He'll give you his blanket if he believes that it'll help or he'll let you play with the ball on his hat if you want to. But other than that, he'll just rub you on the back and just try to comfort you the best he can, or just try to get your mind on something else.

"...Did you know that hedgehogs can only move as fast as four miles per hour?"

"...What?"

When you're finally getting better and getting more confident, he's relieved. Astro still follows you like a lost puppy, but if you don't really mind, neither does he. He still bombards you with good dreams so much that it starts to become boring dreams, but you don't really mention it to him.

If you're more prone to being frightened after the whole incident, Astro's rules apply to you temporarily or permanently depending on what you want. Either way, you two are in the same club because someone decided you didn't need to retain you happy go lucky attitude anymore.

One way or another, Astro isn't nearly as protective as Sprout or Vee but isn't as (extremely) clingy as Shelly. Accidentally becoming a lukewarm mix probably makes him a good person to be with during these kinds of situations.

Sprout, Teagan, and Cosmo x reader who forgets to eat/drink

My chest kinda hurt owie... I fear I'm still physically recovering from my little mental blip

Requests are still closed btws

Notes: gn toon reader, short and sweet, written on mobile, pre game

CWs: none

SPROUT

Does not take no for an answer. He doesn't care if you're too busy you're going to come to the kitchen right now and put something in your body. Right. Now.

Okay maybe not right that instant but there's definitely an exasperated sternness in his voice when you sheepishly admit to forgetting to tend to your needs... he's not mad just worried

Definitely makes you an assorted snack box to keep in your room and if he needs to, he makes you lunch so you eat something before dinner

TEAGAN

She invites you to her parties a lot more often than she does for other toons. It's a ploy to get you to sit down to get something in you between meals

And she's going to send you away with some extra treats that were present- go on! Take some! She's already had more than enough to eat!

Her approach is the most subtle between the three, she's doesn't outright bring up the fact you forget in case it's something sensitive or something you're insecure about. But lord knows she's keeping an eye on you

COSMO

He always always bakes your favorite treats so you're hopefully tempted to take some

And if you still forget, he comes to you to offer you some... on occasion hiding behind the guise of a new recipe and wanting second opinions... only sometimes is that actually true..

It's not a meal but a snack is better than nothing, he does make attempts to try to find a system to help you remember to take care of yourself

[kyupidu]

Hello!!! Can I have a yandere twisted Astro mayhaps?? :0 or just twisted Astro if youre more comfortable, headcanon or oneshot, its up to you!! Either way thank you and I hope u have a nice day/night :)

● Forever in his arms.

Yandere!Astro x toon!reader

Warnings: Yandere, Asphyxiation, Delusions, forced affection, astro is abit mean in the first half

Notes: This is my first yandere fic it might not be the best sorry! but i hope you enjoy reading! also i couldnt get the images to work so i just didnt add them..

A smile would grace your face as you finished your fourth machine, two more to go! This was your last floor till you were able to finally go back up. You snickered abit at the thought of being able to brag about how to gotten to such a high floor all by yourself AND finally being able to sleep.

Venturing off to find your second to last machine, noticing a twisted Cosmo approaching you quickly hid behind two boxes and a shelf. Sitting there for abit you peeked to see if Cosmo was gone. This caused you to fail to notice a certain sleepy twisted approaching you.

Closing your eyes and sighing thinking that the coast is clear, you twirled around just to be grabbed by the throat at slammed against the wall. Your head would hurt as you writhed trying to escape its grasp though Astro being the stronger one was unphased by your attempts.

Thrashing and kicking and yelling you grasped the hand around your neck and pulled on it hoping his grip would lighten. Your panic filled eyes would meet tearful ones, recognizing them. tears gathered in your eyes you choked out "S-Stop! Stop Astro!" you pleaded so fearful you forgot that this wasn't your friend.

Hearing this put a thought in his ichor fogged head making him remember.. something. Although he could slightly remember it. You had stopped him with a worried look in your face , although he couldn't remember anymore than that. What he did know is remembering it made him feel.. something.

He felt warm.. warm like... a hug.. -wait a hug? This thought caused a picture to finally resurface, of you hugging him. This made his hand loosen and fall to his side. You fell to the ground and scrambled to catch your breath.

As your breathing somewhat calmed you quickly got up and ran. This would cause him to come back to his senses. No.. you couldn't leave.. he loved you so much.. he yearned for you to hug him again.. he yearned.. for you, he would make sure you NEVER left. As you ran trying to find a place to hide still trying to catch your breath you failed to notice you were running toward a research capsule.

As you approached it you finally noticed it, you were too late and tripped over it. Falling to the ground, before you could even try to get back up four arms picked you up rendering you helpless. Struggling in his hold trying to get out as he turned you toward himself. You looked at him sobbing thinking that you'd never see your friends again. To him you always looked so beautiful even when your crying like this.

You looked cute crying, but he was sure you'd look even better with a grin. Using on of his hands pat your head and the other to cup your cheek and wipe away your tears. It felt so good to be in your embrace once more.

You slowly stopped trying to get out realizing that wasn't gonna work. "It's okay.. everything's okay now.." he said bringing you closer to him. It was good you stopped trying, it was always gonna be useless. No matter how much you ran he would always catch you. He hoped this meant you loved him too. You would forever be in his arms.

Twisted/Toon Shrimpo x reader, where they was couple (like opposites) but one day Shrimpo dissapeared. And Reader with there team studies the one floor and reader see Shrimpo but twisted. After this they hug him and say they missed him. And Twisted Shrimpo can't attack them.

Angst to fluff

Reader Reuniting With Shrimpo But He Is A Twisted!

Love seeing these twisted requests ngl sksksk I really am a sucker for them! Here you go, dear! I liked this request, haha, thank you for requesting! <3

-Anna

-You and Shrimpo were pretty much opposites from each other. He would be this mean toon, always yelling and insulting everything while you were kind and patient. It surprised everyone when they noticed how Shrimpo seemed more.. calmer than before. Yes, he still had that expression or even growled when others were around but it wasn't as unbearable as before with the constant yelling in their poor ear drums. It was safe to say that it surprised (and maybe even concerned a bit) everyone when you and Shrimpo became official.

-You were the one that had enough patient to teach him how to properly do machines and not hurt his face and he actually did extract them faster, was actually thinking enough to hide (though between you and me, bro punches twisteds like there is no tomorrow most of the time) and he was actually being helpful to the team. You could definitely leave him alone enough as he could take care of himself well for a good while. He hesitated juuuust enough in his punches to to stun them for a good while before getting away from them. He felt so powerful and thought you would be proud of him. Well, exactly!! Who else would have the courage to one on one with twisteds?! Only he could!!!

-One day of investigating these floors, you made it back to the elevator just in time with only Shrimpo being gone. You were calm enough.. as Shrimpo could take care of himself from the twisteds, even if he wasn't the fastest. Though when the elevator timer ran out and the door came running down in front of you, you felt your stomach drop as awkward silence filled the room. You could still remember that a lot of toons in your team tried to reassure you that it will be okay, Shrimpo can stand his ground surprisingly well against them and they'll go back to get him when they can. You had a lot of trust in your boyfriend so you just nodded and imagined the best.

-They worry got to you when you went back on that same floor and he was literally nowhere to be seen. You looked almost everywhere and a scream from one of your teammates made you book it towards that direction. You were so shocked when you saw Shrimpo, a twisted now, holding them up in the air a bit as he was so ready to punch them hard. His name fell out of your mouth and his head twitched before looking back at you. His grip on the other toon was very tight as he lowered them a bit, as well as his fist. You mentioned how you missed him so much, to please let the poor toon to and even though he doesn't understand your words perfectly, your tone made him calm down more, enough for the other toon to wiggle free and run to get help. You still remember the way Shrimpo slowly relaxed as you hugged him so close to you, even if the ichor from his mouth was sticking to you. Something about you.. he couldn't bring himself to raise his hands, holding them into tight fists as he observed you.

-The amount of convincing you had to do as you held Shrimpo's hand will always stick to your memories. The others were adamant but when you begged them with tears was when they really considered it and they finally gave in, on the condition that you always stay with him and keep him away from everyone else, which was more than okay with you. Though they did warn that if they are starting to spot strange behaviors from you, that you both will stay on a floor. Thankfully, you didn't really have to worry about it as getting ichor on you wasn't really going to make you into an enemy.

-You basically moved together with Shrimp to his room and you were also responsible for making sure he was eating and that as well. Seeing the food Sprout made have ichor on it as Shrimpo tries to push it towards his mouth and making a mess is something that takes a while for you to get used to. You were also concerned if consuming ichor would bother him but he acted like it was nothing, almost like he was used to it perfectly. You tried once to try and wipe away the ichor from his mouth but he leaned back far enough as he started to shake, so you never really attempted it again. The ichor from his hands barely got out though he was also a bit hesitant about you trying anything there too. You figured early on that he was in pain from it.

-The more time you spend with him, the more he seemed more calm and started to relax down more and more even if slowly. His head was twitching less and he instead relaxed whenever you hugged him close in your arms. He tries hugging you back and many times refuses to let you go for a while. He feels addicted to your touch and warmth you provide. He wishes he could turn back to regular again but at least you are still by his side.. it's enough to make him feel better about this whole thing.

-He still.. tries to return to his old habits, like hitting the punching bag consistently. It's the next thing next to you, his lover, that keeps his mind focused when you are away and he feels like he'll lose it. He knows you can't be literally glued to his side so he turns his attention to other things to pass the time. At least he remembers enough to not hit the wall, hurt himself even more, especially if he doesn't want to feel guilty by hearing the worry in your voice as you check his condition. He also knows enough to never leave the room, the memory of attacking that toon staying on his mind and it haunts him.

-Even if he is a twisted, Shrimpo still prefers being the big spoon at night as he holds you super close to him. His breathing is calm as he relaxes when holding you. There are rare cases where you hug him from behind, even if you are smaller than him and he feels.. safe, he feels loved. It's during these moments where he feels comfortable enough to close his eyes and finally get the rest he needs by your side. There are times where he will wake up in the middle of the night suddenly but your touch, hold, warmth and anything else nice about you is enough to lull him back to sleep.

-You are determined to find a cure for your friends and especially for Shrimpo one day. You know you can't leave him alone so you take him with you throughout the floors, he keeps you very well safe. He might be slower and not really understand much but his punches hit way harder than before, the ichor in him making him angrier as he takes out twisted after twisted. You make sure to tug at his shirt and not allow him to go after more dangerous twisteds such as the mains as they seem way more powerful than your beloved Shrimpo. Though on almost every other twisted? You can keep your head safe and give him a forehead kiss as you thank him, telling him that you love him. Shrimpo will feel proud of himself as he puffs his chest out, feeling good when you smile so sweetly at him like that with your voice that he loves hearing.

Thank you for reading! <3

Toons with Caretaker! Reader // Dandy's world

Scenario/writing

I don't know if I would consider this as an AU or some illogical noncanon implement based - but here's my personal idea(I won't take criticism, I'm very self-conscious with what I self-endulge--)

Reader in this scenario is actually one caretaker who has phenomenal ability to clone themselves into multiple versions of them. It was an original idea for the prototype Y/N to be a caretaker that replaced the "missing one" for only one certain toon... in this case scenario, Toodles'. However, what was shocking is that the toons happen to take a liking of the caretaker of the same face... same charisma and tenderness.

So the company decided to expand their research and enhanced Y/N's  capacities to clone themselves for a certain amount of time and train their cognitive and physical strength...

The only condition was for the original Y/N to stay intact in order for the clone to not get affected... and for the caretaking service not to be full-time.

Y/N was considered a "human" with not much personal information written in their files, making a perfect specimen to be recruited as a caretaker.

"Caretaker Y/N held so much love and care for these toons and children." An audio is heard from a tape record, "But keep in mind there is only one Y/N, not the others."

Unlike the original, who is often seen wearing a rainbow uniform. every Y/N caretaker wears respective colors and uniforms that complement the toon assigned.

Eventually... the company eventually abandoned the project along with the Gardenview center. The other caretaker counterparts left as well after acknowledging the crisis of their labor. This left Y/N no longer having maintenance service.

Y/N, being a determined one for the sake of what they care for, decided to bring this matter into their hands...

According to the conditions the Gardenview has been through in the aftermath, with twisted wandering around the floors and mysterious chores leaking in dark places...

They decided to redesign their clones to be capable of teaching toons how to handle situations and keep themselves safe whenever they couldn’t be able to be there at certain times(by that, Caretaker Y/N had to go through all the research collected by the toons, in hope for these twisted  entities to diminish, or some cure for them.)

Of course, these are tough feats. Not even Y/N would handle them by themselves. After a few days scouting around the abandoned ruins, they eventually came to the conclusion to reluctantly accept their beloved toons' assistance, who for some reason have to help with Dandy's little obsession with the tapes...

That's the moment Y/N realizes their rainbow baby just discovered capitalism... (nice.????)

But well- they must have to learn the truth themselves too. They don't deserve to be put in the shadows....not like them, again.

With this transition of events, the toons not only acknowledge the caretaker as their guardian angel who would guide them in necessary circumstances or cherish them. But also a "professor" for some toons like Shelly and Rodger.

"Professor Y/N has a lot of knowledge to offer... from the locations of where fossils are concentrated and how ichor machines function around the building! Even i love asking questions, so they're always happily helping me." Shelly states in an audio tape.

Under their guidance, it allow toons to maintain a safe circle from the chaotic world they're confined in. Offering love, affirmation, rationality, and advice.

Toons, at some point, learned that everything they share with the clones, the original Catetaker would know as well... their contact with the guardian being accessible both directly and indirectly.

This is pretty good for those who wanted to express their feelings so the original can come to them personally when requested... while some prefer privacy and space for themselves, which the Caretaker acknowledges.

As Y/N is the same person, not all toons are the same.

Sometimes, some toons don't mind sharing and prefer to spend time with the original caretaker(who do not mind dropping everything temporarily for both happiness and safety for them). On the other hand... Some prefer to keep the caretaker to themselves, bringing some jealousy.

(This includes Dandy... )

Nonetheless, Caretaker Y/N remains loving. They cherish all toons unconditionally. Even if cherishing is part of their job, they came into learning how to love them all independently.

"Make space for everyone's path. We have a lot of room!"

"Come to my lab if any injuries should be reported, please. I want to make sure everyone is in good shape!"

"Good morning, good afternoon, good night..!"

"What shall we do today, Mm? It's time to check the bulletin board..."

(Rare) "Guys... why are you banging your head into the tree...?"

//before Elevator closes//

"Good luck, my friends."

"Stay safe, I'll always be waiting here."

"I'll watch over you from here."

"Love you all... Please take care."

(Toodles in the party)"Toodles, you know what to do! Sh..." *soft shhs before babbling spy music goofs*

"Remember... Don't take Dandy personally, Lil' fella doesn't even know what he is saying...-"

//Coming back from a run//

"Welcome back - how are you doing?"

"Tired? Poor thing... now now, come to the dorm room as I make your bed."

"Something wrong? No, dear, there's nothing wrong back there. You had quite a run there! I'm so proud of you."

"Hey there! You're just in time... check out your progress you just did, champ!"
