[deer-diary-from-hell]

Redesigned all of the Dandy world (+my take on the game)

”But Liam/deer didn’t you alr posted these-“

you didn’t see anything.

HEADCANONING TIME WWOOOOO

I like to think that ALMOST all of the toons just think they’re just playing a game of tag while collecting ichor like it’s a “capture the flag” thing. It’s in their blood (or ichor) to just be a bunch of childish and playful creatures, they are MADE for kids so it’s not really out of character of them to NOT think that twisteds are dangerous let alone kill them which cause them to see things differently (literally)

(still talking about this👆) If you start the game at first it’s all bright and colorful like something you would see out of a kid’s show, there’s happy music playing in the background all fun and games! Until you get hit by a twisted and lose a heart. Thats when the reality kicks in. Music stops as the colors slowly go back to the sad reality of an abandoned studio/daycare. These twisteds weren’t playing.. they were trying to kill you. This effect is irreversible even if you go back to full health. The shine in their eyes are gone. They aren’t laughing anymore, this isn’t funny. They’re scared.

(Note to self, each toon will have a traumatized look on their face after getting injured and will stay traumatized even after being healed+also applies to a toon when they witness a death of another toon)

I like to think that the twisted are like a “Failed” version of a toon, a toon that wasn’t the exact replica of itself so, it was locked away in the underground as it contorts into it’s biggest flaw(s) might design the twisteds if I feel like it.

If a toon witnessed another toon getting hit they’ll still be oblivious but concerned for their fellow friend

The twisteds prob growls and snarls due to their throats being filled with nothing but ichor, constantly leaking from their mouths as they try to kill you out of jealousy that YOU don’t get to be thrown away like a broken toy and instead cherished by children while they were called a mistake and now you’re going to experience the same pain they went through.

on a lighter note, the toons stole the clothes they’re wearing from the lost and found shortly after being abandoned and threw away their old clothes.

dandy needs those tapes so he doesn’t turn into a twisted. He wants to protect his friends from himself.

Ichor while being dangerous can be used to bring back a dead toon, only dandy knows this. Fortunately (or unfortunately) the toon doesn’t remember how they died after being revived

All toons are asexual. (Gets booed off the stage)

Do you think toons are desperate for interactions after being abandoned for god knows how long.

Astro, Vee and Shelly are the ones who don’t have the “fake reality” sight going on and knows that they’re actually in danger although for Shelly she’s sorta in denial (and ig Teagan and Rodger too? But the both of them just thinks that the twisteds aren’t really that dangerous and thought they wont kill their fellow toons)

might add more hcs soon but prob in later posts

Guys please ask for hcs for any toons you like please I’m begging on my knees I’LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING.

[modcroissant]

Oops- forgot bout Dandy there-

Anyway flower and candy

Instead of design yap, Imma yap about how Yatta is in the TT au ^^

Feel that Yatta would be a tad bit more crazed due to the fact that she had wandered the lower floors for a long ahh time without anyone to talk to and due to lack of supplies she had to literally eat out of herself- by that I mean she takes the candy from her insides to eat it. Did it hurt? For the first few times but overtime she gained a huge pain tolerance

So by the time she was found, she had to be confined to her room for a few days until she is allowed to be let out; only if Looey is available to keep her in check. Poppy has to put a tracker on Yatta just so she doesn't wander off to the elevator when no one is supervising her ^^

[ddarker-dreams]

A Chance Encounter.

Yan Scaramouche x Reader.

Loosely based on this concept.

Warnings: Only light yandere themes since Reader doesn't know about Scara's Harbinger affiliation. Word count: 1.1k.

Scaramouche could succinctly describe this assignment as a pain.

Some whistleblower whose conscience got the better of her in retirement, realizing now that she’s living off a measly pension instead of a steady stream of income that perhaps experimentation on unwitting subjects is actually not so dandy. How convenient. Moral epiphanies have the best timing. Or in the Harbinger’s case, the worst timing, since this trip to Mondstadt was supposed to be for pleasure, not business. 

He occupies a space beneath a sizable canopy. Shadows swallow him, occasionally chased off by shy sunlight wriggling through interstices born from the steady wind. The weather is fair compared to the everlasting winter that wrings all life from Snezhnaya. This nation is perfectly idyllic, perfectly boring, save for a single inhabitant who is notably exempt from his criticism. 

If it weren’t for the invisible yet no less present Fatui agents slinking about, he’d give in to the urge to quirk his lips upward. 

At least when this is wrapped up, he can see you. 

The matter shouldn’t take much longer. In written correspondence with the would-be traitor, he played the role of a bleeding heart, successfully blindsiding her into thinking he shares her plight. Now all that remains is to meet up with her and discern if the supposedly damning documents hold any weight or not. The rest can be left to his lackeys, he’d rather not waste any more time when he could be engaging in far more enjoyable activities. 

This is about as cut and dry as it gets. 

Except… 

Rapid footsteps approach. 

Foliage crunches beneath the heel of an exuberant individual, smothering leaves and snapping twigs. 

“Kuuuuuniiiiiii!” A voice he knows very well calls out. 

There is but a single entity throughout all of Teyvat who actively runs toward him, not away from him, and this entity so happens to be you. The concept of shame is a foreign one, you’re far too concerned with utilizing various flourishes to capture his attention. The fanfare is without reason. The instant you enter the scene, Scaramouche scarcely remembers the rest of the world exists, it becomes as inconsequential as the ground he treads on. 

You are a fallen star streaming through the sky, an answer to a wish he never had the courage to make. 

Unfortunately, you’ve happened upon him at a tricky juncture. The Fatui swarming like sharks in the water are prepared to tear into you at his command. From their perspective, you are an unknown variable running full force at their Lord Harbinger. Never in their wildest dreams could they fathom the notoriously spiteful Balladeer has a sweet spot for you, this is by his design. He’s painstakingly taken measures to ensure his little ball of sunshine can’t be used by his many enemies. 

The wave he gives serves two purposes — to greet you and signal his men to stand down. 

As if he wasn’t already thrown off-kilter by your abrupt appearance, when you’re at the appropriate distance, you launch at him with arms held wide. He catches you with an ease unfitting of his slender demeanor, his strength far surpassing that of any mortal. You’re content to wrap your arms around his neck while he steadies you. 

“I knew it was you! The hat gave it away. It always does,” you explain in between breaths. “And here I was thinking that you wouldn’t be in for a few more days.” 

Slowly, he helps ease you back down. You sway a bit, clutching his shoulders to maintain your balance, to which he snickers. “Were you so desperate to see me that running at a reasonable pace slipped your mind?” 

“I thought if I exerted more force, I might be able to tackle you to the ground this time… so much for that.” 

“Hah. As if. What strange fantasies you entertain without me around. The loneliness must rot your brain.” 

“Who says I’m lonely?” You challenge, tilting your head to the side. “I’m more than capable of making and maintaining friendships. That’s what happens when you’re a likable person.” 

He’s quick to reply so as not to betray his irritation at the idea. “You? Likable? The mental deterioration is worse than I feared. I hope it isn’t irreversible at this stage.” 

You shrug. “I dunno, you seem to like me well enough. I consider that my crowning achievement. If I can win you over I’m capable of anything. Maybe I’ll aim for world peace next.” 

Scaramouche is so quick to be swept up in the wild tide that is you that his bumbling underlings temporarily slipped his mind. Lately, there’s been one in particular who seems keen on proving himself worthy of a promotion. He goes out of his way to do extra work Scaramouche never tasked him with. It’s been a minor nuisance yet nothing major has come from it. 

However, in his purview, he senses this sycophant taking a position that’d be advantageous to strike at you from. 

Scaramouche’s retaliation is immediate. On a perfectly sunny day, a vicious bolt of lightning strikes mere inches from the spot he occupies, effectively communicating his lord’s displeasure. The white-hot flash earns your attention. You turn your head in the direction it came from, then shoot him an inquisitive glance. 

“... What did that bush ever do wrong?” 

“You’d be surprised.” 

The warning must’ve made it through the agent’s thick head, for he backs off like a dog with its tail between its legs. 

“Hey. I have some business I need to finish, then I’ll treat you to dinner,” Scaramouche knows you well enough to be confident that the idea of delicious food will successfully distract you. It’s as he predicted — he can practically hear the gears turning in your head as you form plans. He can only hope he doesn’t have to encounter that slovenly excuse of a god who once serenaded you with the story of an abandoned doll, claiming it to be a ‘cautionary tale’. The self-restraint he exercised that day is second to none. 

“Alright, but try to leave some nature standing, this is a trail I enjoy walking. I’d rather you don’t eviscerate it.” 

You begin to part ways, before loudly proclaiming ‘oh!’, like you’d forgotten something important. Then you’re back by his side. He processes the feeling before anything else, the soft sensation of your lips on his cheek renders him speechless. A crimson hue dusts against his pale cheeks as he subconsciously raises his hand to touch the still-tingling spot. Content with yourself, you depart, waving as enthusiastically as you had earlier. 

When his coherency returns, he sighs. That was a bit more than he’d prefer any Fatui-aligned person to see.

He’ll have to get creative to explain the deaths of all his men on such a low-stakes mission. Before that, however, he needs to ask one to hand the appropriate forms over, lest it disintegrate to ash as they’re fated to. 

It’s a pain, truly, but you’re worth the extra effort.

Sams x Dandy’s World crossover au

While designing and story brainstorming, Ive come to a crossroad

I’ve seen a lot of stories were Sun is though most of the trauma and rarely find any stories were Moon goes though the trauma (or Moon gets a bit of trauma, or I’m just not looking in the right places. I just feel he gets the least amount of pain, and I’m talking about old/og moon)

So I was thinking What if I torture moon instead in my au

If yes, I’ll have to revise Sun and Moon’s character sheets, but that’s kinda it

[tansypawz]

may i ask for dandys world headcanons. like so many

hello anon.you dont know what youve asked me

-coal is naturally very warm. shes a hot coal in my design and has little heat patterns :-]

-the stringy tail i gave sprout in my design can bloom into a long bush overtime, stretching up to 15 feet long. from the bush can grow ichor strawberries, which he can pick and seemingly magically transform into cupcakes for his ability [i didnt know how to implement tapes into his ability usage so i just equated tapes to time passing]

-i said this before in the dandys world hcs blog before i became a mod there but rocks [as in pebble and coal] are their own species, rather than being the dandys world equivalent of dogs. regular animala do exist, sapient or not [as proved by rudie and toodles' dog plush trinket], pet rocks are just a separate species that mimicks traits and behaviours from other animals, almost exclusively domesticated animals. dogs and cats are the most common pet rocks, but there have been instances where a pet rock has had rabbit, tortoise, and bird traits, though these are extremely rare. pet rocks that minick animals with fur/feathers also have the chance to grow moss, snow or other materials on their body as a replacement or mimick. for example, my pebble design has moss as fur, based off the loyal bud skin, and my coal design has snow with specks of ash, since shes a lump of coal. these can overgrow and be trimemd safely, but completely shaving off material fur is highly discouraged as it can be painful for the pet rock, and they usually develop such traits to handle their environment better [for example, coal's snow fur helps her be used to cold temperatures and not overheat]

-bit of a joke hc based off the last one and also that one trend: Rock Lobsters Exist. the lore for them is that people wanted more exotic animals as pet rocks so they started selectively breeding and altering the genetics of some pet rocks and ended up getting lobsters. they are Very aggressive however and do not make good pets, now theyre an invasive species

-flutter is actually a moth but since butterflies are more universally liked the creators of the show just decided "nah shes a butterfly trust"

-tisha has the most impeccable gaydar out of everyone in gardenview. shes also the most confident in her trans identity [trans woman tisha ily]

-i know a lot of people hc rodgers eye to turn into a mouth when he eats but to me he just.has an invisible mouth. he brings food up to his face and !suddenly theres a bite !! what the fuck !!

-if ginger was allowed to be more than just a christmas toon with a one-dimensional personality she would love skating, this is actually why she has ice skates in my design !! [this is taken from the fact that her running animation kinda looks like shes skating, shoutout to my friend @trophtissuesftw for pointing it out]

-astros favorite treat are enigma candies.he will hoard those thangs and eat like 12 of them in a row.its a bit of a guilty pleasure

-shelly gets very uspet whenever shes on a floor with her twisted version. not because its.yknow. Herself. but because shes "inaccurate to how dinos actually look like"[lack of feathers n stuff] and she will ramble about it the entire floor

-if you try to take an unwanted photo of astro and somehow dont get interrupted by any of the other toons or the handlers the picture will come out Horrifying. like something straight out of analog horror

-shrimpo and finn can both breathe underwater, and astro straight up doesnt need to breathe

-thumbtacks and other sharp objects dont kill or severely harm looey or poppy. theyre just Extremely Uncomfortable. like yk when your foot is asleep. yeah imagine that Around Your Entire Body. it makes them faster yeah but thats the only upside. while poppy's unpleasant feeling is a lot quicker to pass than looey's, hes realized that wearing patches and stuff helps diminish the feeling so that its bearable at least [hence why hes willing to lose a heart or two for the sake of distracting, its not as painful/uncomfortable to him as long as hes wearing those patches]

-goob is actually an amazing chef. like he Locks In if you ask him for some food. his expertise rivals fucking Sprout its insane

-gigi will straight up just.give back something she stole if you just ask for it. shes not malicious about it. unless she has a good reason to Not give it back [like if she stole a camera from a parent that wanted to take a photo of astro]

-teagan is fat and muscular she has 4 star stamina she has some visible muscle trust [im gay about her]

is this good. i have More headcanons.

[pvkit]

Last designs! I knew I didn't draw glisten, dandy & yatta but to be honest I have no idea whatbto do with them! Send hepl

Vee and Astro arr competing for the tallest toon (Astro is taller now that I look at it) Shrimpo is the shortest ADULT but yeah toodles is the shortest.

I don't like hwo they're all objects of some sort and Connie is just???a human??? Do I made her a melted ice cream cone, reminds me of that one roblox hair.

I thought Rudie would be a pain to draw but no, it was actually Rodger ._. I hate rudie so much he creeps me out but I tried confrontation therapy so I guess I just dislike him

Out of these Vee is my favorite I think, I like the old times TV more for her I hope it doesn't come off as cheap that I don't erase the body layer, I just want to show off what body types they would have imo

(I didn't mention Teagan and Gigi at all just bc they're okay I think, not much to say here :_] )

THE TOONTASTIC TEAM!: A Dandy's World Superhero AU

(designs for all mains minus pebbles under the cut, as well as a poll for which design is the best!)

Basics:

Lore:

Basically, (after practically dragging Dandy out) the toons escape garden view. Determined to try and leave their pain in the past. However after a freak "accident" with the elevator they unknowingly made the Twisteds free as well, and unknowingly unleashed them to the world. Dandy and friends NEED to fix this! But in order to do that they're going to need some, or a lot, of help from a human...or humanS.

How do superhero powers work/activate:

Powers and abilities vary from toon to toon, but I can give a more broad explanation as to how they work. We have toons, those are the ones that you are used to, Shelly, Astro, Vee, ECT. But on the other side of things we have hosts! Hosts are the humans that the toons briefly possess while defeating twisteds. Yes, in order to activate the superhuman abilities the toons must find their way into a hosts bloodstream and let their ichor dissolve in it making them become one. It's easiest to do this with an open wound, but as long as they can find their way into the body they can find their way into a bloodstream. So basically they get powers by letting the toons go into their blood.

(superhero designs below the cut!)

Delilah:

Personality:

Delilah is a very bubbly and happy human. If anything from the most negative emotion she feels is usually boredom because that's what she finds her world to be, so when Danny came into her life and all of a sudden there was danger yet excitement around every corner, it weirdly felt like she was made for this...

Design elements:

Very much wanted her normal look to all in all look pretty average. Her superhero form though? Angel motifs EVERYWHERE, Dandy views her as their savior, the one that's going to get them out of this mess. Also has colors that represent obviously all, but mainly the main toons.

Ability:

Unlike other heros, she can shape shift and form objects from her hands at will, which is useful for generating weapons on the spot. This ability definitely proves to be useful.

Luna:

Personality:

Luna is a pretty timid and shy girl but that definitely does not mean that she's calm. She's a pessimist in most situations always assuming the worst will happen. Despite this she is still very kind, to the point she was actually willing to let the toons stay with her and Delilah. (since her and Delilah are roommates)

Design Elements:

She has clothes on these simpler side but they still have a bit more spice. Her main color is black with blues. Now when it comes to her superhero form, lots of moon and star stuff. Also some ponchos since I didn't exactly want her walking around with a blanket-

Ability:

She has the ability to instantly make someone feel rejuvenated after a touch, (however this makes her tired) and she can also summon a bright blue star shaped shield to either protect her or ride on. This means that they are very good when others are around since it makes them able to fight longer, and the shield also acts as quick transport.

Ethan:

Personality:

All in all, Ethan comes off as quite narcissistic. Cuz he is. He constantly tells reminds himself that everybody loves him. His real job is being a faceless influencer, because of the ridicule and mockery he faced when he was younger, he was too embarrassed to show himself. Now he finally has the recognition that people from all over LOVE him, and yet not a single one of those souls even knows what he looks like.

Design Elements:

I tried to make their head more square like, but I think it's hard to tell. I also gave them glasses to really make them stand out, and I even gave him a prosthetic! First of all for the robot vibes and second of all to make sure he's even more self anxious about every atom in his body :) And with his superhero form I made sure to make it very sharp and extremely precise. Kinda gives super villain vibes but luckily that's just not him.

Ability:

Their sight is heightened tenfold, letting them spot twisteds from miles away. This lets heroes know ahead of time what exactly they're dealing with so that a proper plan can be made. Unfortunately for Echo, a lot of our heroes dive into issues head first and barely care to make a plan.

Copper:

Personality:

He is the definition of a himbo, and yet he was smart enough to get a degree to be a zookeeper. When it comes to birds specifically he's practically a Wikipedia, anything else though? And he's as dumb as a rock. Despite his hard exterior he has a heart of gold.

Design elements:

All in all he's pretty simple, lots of browns, but despite this he still has stories of his own to tell! As evident from all of his scars. Most of them are from animals and such but they each still carry a story a story that deserves to be heard. And as for his hero form, I definitely wanted to lean into the dinosaur theming. Tried my best to give him big claws, big hands, feet, ECT. Just to emphasize his size and strength.

Ability:

Despite all of their bulk, they can actually go much faster. By connecting with the ground, both mentally and physically, so they can practically soar across it. Eventually, once more of their power is harnessed, they can use their speed and strength to bring absurdly large chunks of the Earth with them, to either throw at an enemy, or move a large crowd quickly.

Summer:

Personality:

Summer is one happy gal! She loves being in the sun and being active! And of course she loves being with her best friend Cass! (Take two guesses who that is-) She originally comes from the farm life, however was disowned after an incident, and now lives in the city working at a restaurant. But none of this holds her back from still being happy and living her life! Hell it makes her stronger. But even despite that, with everything she's already lost, she can't afford to lose anymore, which unfortunately makes her very protective over the things and people she loves.

Design Elements:

I went for a more country vibe with her for reasons stated above, but also because I thought it made her look cute! She still got a contagious smile and freckles to resemble seeds. As well as sleeves that resemble upside down strawberries. And when it comes to her superhero form, I pretty much just tried to make it look like a knight. Her top priority is protecting the people she loves, that combined with her loyalty and chivalry, a knight only made sense!

Ability:

If she collects enough Ichor, she can use the Twisteds ichor, and use it as a substitute for any blood that might have been lost by friends. A very similar idea to Sprouts except they're probably aren't tapes lying around on the street- so she instead recycles old ichor to give her friends a nice boost. She also can see how someone's health is doing at the moment, since overprotectiveness is the trait they share the most.

Now for a question...

(thank you for bothering to read to the bottom, I'm planning at making heros for all the toons, so don't be afraid to recommend which I should do next, I'd LOVE to know who I should do next!)

Also I'm tagging the moots that let me ramble about this and saw some scrapped designs.

AU Announcement! 🌺

Meet Shelly! 🐚🍂

Thank you, Dandy’s World, for giving me brainrot 😭

She’s part of what I’m going to fittingly call my Dino Shelly AU, in which Shelly is half-transformed and constantly in danger of slipping into the mindset of a Twisted. Her mutation has already broken her body and her mind may follow close behind.

This post is chunky so read more if you wish, or just enjoy my gal! :)

Now, in case you’re wondering why her bottom half is hidden, that’s because it looks like this:

(This is a slightly earlier design for her so some details are a lil different hehe)

So what happened to her?

(Warning: mentions of paralysis, mental illness and addiction)

No one remembered her during the panic timer and the doors banged shut without her

She was left to rot in the factory floor and was attacked by the roaming twisteds

Her spine was snapped and she became paralysed from the waist down

Unable to move and desperate to alleviate her pain somehow, she drank from the ichor machine she’d been backed up against

Ichor sated her hunger but also caused a serious addiction to the substance

Constant exposure to ichor caused her lower body to try and heal itself, but her mitosis was so confused it picked the wrong DNA

Dinosaurs go rawr 🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖

Shelly’s personality is still relatively the same, but thanks to her mutation, she has become much more primal and survival-minded, with her survival typically involving either ichor or Vee, who was the one to eventually rescue her. Shelly’s memory is also extremely poor and she is easily triggered by the sound of cracks or splinters.

(End of warning)

In this AU I think that the toons all get their life force from their trinket, which now multipurposes as the object the toons are based as :) eg. Glisten isn’t an actual mirror anymore but he’s decorated with glass

I don’t know if I’ll design any of the other toons with the same human style but I’m good with the cartoon aesthetic so, here’s half-toon Shelly :)

Regarding Vee’s Involvement 📺🎤

Damn you toxic Shellevision…

Still working this out but I think Vee is both the reason Shelly was left behind and the reason she was recovered at all. At the time, Vee was sort of dealing with a petty frustration over Shelly’s crush on her, and out of spite argued that no one should go back to check after the panic timer. And it took a lot of overnight existentialising and self-hate to change her mind.

“If you hadn’t been so stupid and bitter in the moment, her spine wouldn’t have broken.”

I think she would’ve either found Shelly or sought her out during a solo run, been crippled with guilt, and brought her back to mixed reactions.

Shelly doesn’t acknowledge Vee’s past dislike for her. She’s buried the memory.

Cause Vee came back for her, right?

So surely she loves her this time?

spoilers she changed her mind and now has to live with the guilt for the rest of her life

[cloudy-daydreamers-blog]

"Ugh... listen. Just follow my lead, and they'll be fine."

In this Au, the toons get a sickness that causes them to become twisteds. Due to circumstances of Gardenview the commons aren't around to catch the sickness. So the commons are going to help them—with the help of Dandy of course..!

Toons team:

Boxten, Poppy, Cosmo, Tisha, Shrimpo, Looey

Designs are NOT final lmao

Toons Manager:

Dandy

Twisteds:

Astro, Pebble, Sprout. Shelly, Vee

In Recovery:

Stage one:

Razzle and Dazzle, Finn, Rodger

Stage two:

Glisten, Toodles, Brigtney, Gigi

Stage three:

Goob, Scraps, Teagan, Flutter, Connie

Stage one:

• Still in pain

• Kinda aggressive

• Non-verbal

• Wounds still frequently bleed

• Lots of Ichor

• No memories

Stage two:

• Pain eased

• More calm and comfortable

• Memories start returning

• Personality starts coning back

• Wounds start to close

• Easier to stich together

• Beginning to speak

Stage three:

• Some aching

• Calm and passive

• Personality returned

• Ichor gone

• Wounds closed

• Fully capable of speaking

Jobs:

Boxten does research as well as expeditions to find the twisteds. He builds things to aid in the fixing of Gardenview

Poppy does most of the hard labor—along with Shrimpo—and during expeditions gets hurt often as she's the one who fist fighting/restraining twisteds.

Shirmpo is bait as well as an instigator. He goes on expeditions with Team A and gets the Twisted, vulnerable enough to get caught. He constantly puts his life on the line to catch the toons. He also helps with stock and inventory.

Comso mainly helps with recovery. He gets hurt a lot during stage one as the twisteds don't know they're being helped.

Looey works mainly on the floor. He works on helping stage three twisteds, trying to help them be the toon they used to be. Think speech, physical and mental therapist. He cooks the meals as well, despite Cosmo being the better chef.

Tisha helps run things. She makes sure everyone is taking their medicines on time—prescribed by Dandy—and that everything is in order.

Character extras:

• Comso keeps medkits on him due to his clumsiness

• Tisha likes to keep a list of important things for her to do

• Boxten insomnia makes it hard for him to work sometimes

• Looey isn't allowed on expeditions after be almost was killed during a run

• Shrimpo takes his anger out on his beat up punching bags due to the stress

• Dandy runs the machines as well as expeditions! He helps with the supplies

• The Commons do NOT like the new protein shake Dandy is giving them :)

— dreamer

Hi! So this an Au I've been changing and editing for a month now! This is going to have an actual story on here and then an ask blog to interact with the characters!

I'll go back and draw some of this

[slipperychip]

Second part of the Dandy’s World of Order Overview

Before I go on, there’s something important I should’ve explained earlier : magic and powers exist in this AU. There’s a very rare case where a Toon ends up being born with powers, and these people are usually treated as celebrities (not like super famous, but, like, celebrity-that-you’ve-never heard-of-who’s-only-popular-in-their -hometown kinda famous)…yeah, I’m just gonna move along.

Now, some information on the store owners:

Gizmo : A gremlin this one is. A long time ago, way before the war, he was just some creepy dude who was really into collecting items found in junkyards and whatnot. When the war started, he discovered that he could imbue the trinkets with magic, allowing them to strengthen Toons who have them equipped. This made him a useful asset within Gardenview, as the members of Gardenview and Eden could use his trinkets to give themselves a better chance at fighting off the Twisteds and other threats.

“Heh heh…my precious…”

Lilly : Lilly started her career in Paris as a fashion designer, sewing the most creative outfits and costumes. She rose to fame when Gardenview recognized her for her work. They thought that her designs were good that they gave her a job position as the costume designer for the agency. Even though she mainly works on making elaborate disguises for spy missions, she still finds time to sew the outfits she once loved.

“Bonjour! What shall it be today?”

Chaz : …Alright, where do I start…I don’t actually know what to say about this guy. I mean, he’s chill and fun to be around with, and he’s great at skateboarding as well. But why is he here? What purpose would spray paint and dance lessons serve inside a government agency? My theory is that Dandy allows him to be there because he needs someone to spray paint his petals every now and then.

“Ay bruh, whaddaya want?”

Walter : He’s known as the grouchiest old man inside the agency. I could see why he’s like that; being in a mid-life crisis, arthritis and having to work inside a loud environment really does that to you. The only reason he chooses to stay and run the arcade is because Dandy pays him pretty well to do so. Also, you might be asking why a government agency would need an arcade. The answer is simple: It gets pretty stressful, and playing dance dance revolution while eating pizza and winning prizes is a good way to encourage you. Don’t look at me, this was all Dandy’s idea.

“Damn chest pains…you better make this quick!”

[skyl3m0n]

This is from the person who owns the GDLTD AU and I want some more information on your character Atlas. I am going to put her in the AU but I need some more info.

Like:

What is she based on?

What is she exactly?

A photo of her design inspiration?

What her personality is like?

Her history?

What is a snow-pyridactal?

Because I need more ideas on who she is first to give her more fitting lore in the AU

Thank you very much

To begin with, I want to make it clear that Atlas is a male character, not female.His design has truly sparked my creativity and imagination. The concept was bom from a deep fascination I developed for Arctic animals, which led me to ponder the idea of crafting a creature inspired by a prehistoric being. This thought process gave rise to the snow pterodactyl, and soon after, Atlas himself emerged into existence. I have such a fondness for him, it's almost Overwhelming

Atlas embodies a personality that is fiercely loyal, incredibly kind, and undeniably sweet. However, when angered, he can project an intimidating presence, and he often exhibits a shy Demeanor

One notable aspect of his character is his intense aversion to Dandy. In the original game. Dandy's actions resulted in the tragic loss of Atlas's friends, a betrayal that he finds impossible to Forgiving

Reflecting on his past poses a significant challenge for him. Nevertheless, the essence of his memories remains strikingly clear. He once enjoyed a close-knit friendship with a group of companions, a bond that thrived before the onset of the ichor operation, which tragically resulted in their infection and premature deaths. Initially, he was blissfully ignorant of the grave circumstances they were facing, but as he delved deeper in pursuit of the truth, he found himself caught in a perilous web of danger. It was through this treacherous journey that he ultimately uncovered the mystery surrounding their demise, and it was during this process that his bitterness towards Dandy began to take root, intensifying with each new revelation

As for Atlas's abilities, he possesses the remarkable power to create protective shields. reminiscent of the iconic skills seen in Steven Universe.

Additionally, he can soar through the skies, aided by his wings that he has. However, for this alternate reality, those wings are not a natural endowment but rather prosthetic replacements, serving as a painful reminder of the traumatic day when his original wings were brutally torn from his back, marking a profound loss in his life and his Psyche

In this alternate universe, his character embodies a subtly distinct tone. He is mare introspective, often choosing to embrace silence rather than engage in conversation. Although he retains his shy nature, there's a palpable intensity about him especially evident in his approach to combat, where he displays a more aggressive and fierce demeanor.When it comes to outfit inspiration, think of Whisper from the Sonic comics. Her look, including the mask, truly encapsulates the essence of what i envision. Upon further reflection, I found Whisper's outfit to be quite captivating, and for this alternate universe, I would love to weave in elements that echo that unique style, creating a blend that feels both fresh and fitting for his character when it comes to weaponry, aside from the shields he has, his primary choice is a bow and arrows, as he prefers engaging from a distance. For close combat, he relies on knives and blades

I really hope this provides some clarity. Here's a reference for the original character, Atlas, to give you a better understanding of his appearance (not for the alternate universe, but for the original concept).

Here's what his looks like (not for the day but what Atlas looks like) so you can get an idea of what he looks like for the og universe and not the au.

So time for some more Tu'la lore, more specifically tattoo lore!

In Tu'la, tattoos are rather common and even have a cultural and religious significance to them. That is not to say that everyone has tattoos, but it is common enough for it to be normalized. Now, much like real life, there are a lot of reason to get tattoos but these are the main categories.

Cosmetic

Familial

Religious

Status

So, cosmetic tattoos simply put are just for cosmetics, much like how we will get moth man tramp stamps, they will get a wyvern on their fore arm. Common cosmetic tattoos are animals, clouds, and flowers with the art style depending on your region. (North Tu'la - Japanese styled, South Tu'la - Indian or henna like designs)

Familial Tattoos - With the majority of the population in Tu'la being Mei'fwa, it is safe to say that almost all of the human population is related to one in one way or another. A common practice for children of Mei'fwas who end up with human genes is to get their parents stripe or spot patterns tattooed on the shoulder and chest. That way they can look like their parent without having the need for ears and a tail.

Religious - The Temple of Menphia is very pro tattoos and a lot of initiations for being a priest or temple warrior requiring them. The first set of tattoos that a person receives (normally when they are six) is a large sun tattoo encompassing their back with two suns on their palms. Menphia's iconography involves a lot of the sun. As they progress in age, they get writings of protection on their imbs along with various lines to represent the flow of emotion and magic in the body. Another common tattoo is to get a very small symbol of menphia imbetween a persons pecs/breasts.

Status - Tattoos can also be a symbol of status as certain tattoos have certain meanings with some ink only being available to those in the royal family. The current king of Tu'la actually doesn't have his family's tattoo for he is actually a coward but he does have servants paint it on him every morning. Very much a tiger with false stripes

Status tattoos were not reserved for the upper class either and tattoos weren't all fine and dandy for one particular crowd and that is gladiators. When gladiators are indoctrinated the first thing that they are given is a tattoo of a snake eating itself (ouroboros) on their left ribs. It is both one of the most painful places to get a tattoo but one close to their heart without being on their chest. These tattoos are enchanted and used as a tool of submission. When the current benefactor of the gladiator activates the sigil, it causes a burning and sick feeling to course through the gladiators body. They needed to touched up every five years or every time the gladiator gets a new benefactor or else the magic fades.

Not only are gladiators tattooed with the snake tattoo, a lot of them are forced to under go any form of tattoo that their benefactor wants. Like a permanent form of dress up. Liochant got snake tattoos on his arm because his benefactor wanted to capitalize on his nickname "pit viper".

Why She Disappeared

When she fell, she fell apart. Cracked her bones on the pavement she once decorated as a child with sidewalk chalk.

When she crashed, her clothes disintegrated and blew away with the winds that took all of her fair-weather friends.

When she looked around, her skin was spattered with ink forming the words of a thousand voices Echoes she heard even in her sleep: “Whatever you say, it is not right.” “Whatever you do, it is not enough.” “Your kindness is fake.” “Your pain is manipulative.”

When she lay there on the ground, She dreamed of time machines and revenge and a love that was really something, Not just the idea of something.

When she finally rose, she rose slowly Avoiding old haunts and sidestepping shiny pennies Wary of phone calls and promises, Charmers, dandies and get-love-quick-schemes.

When she stood, she stood with a desolate knowingness Waded out into the dark, wild ocean up to her neck Bathed in her brokenness Said a prayer of gratitude for each chink in the armor she never knew she needed

Standing broad-shouldered next to her was a love that was really something, not just the idea of something.

When she turned to go home, She heard the echoes of new words “May your heart remain breakable But never by the same hand twice”

And even louder, “without your past, you could never have arrived- so wondrously and brutally, By design or some violent, exquisite happenstance …here.”

And in the death of her reputation, She felt truly alive.
