I've made my own Dandy's World AU!!!

It's called...

Freeform AU!!

Here's Dandy's design...

...a doodle...

...and some work-in-progress concept art for the dorm room that him and Astro share!

More information will be under the cut!! I'm really excited to share this AU with the world because it's very personal to me!!! TW for brief mentions of kidnapping and human experimentation.

Short summary: I noticed that many Dandy's World AUs (at least, on Tumblr) are heavily action-packed, so I decided to make something that's much more down-to-earth and slice-of-life...with various cartoony shenanigans that happen in between heartwarming friendships, discussions of mental health, and the slow journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and healing from trauma.

Plot synopsis: Dandy was once a 17-year-old human guy before being kidnapped, experimented on, and turned into a Toon. But he was quickly rescued by an underground organization called Freeform that rescues Toons from laboratories, and taken to their headquarters, which is a mix of a mall, a hotel, and an office space depending on where you go in the building. Freeform and their headquarters will have their own posts dedicated to it that expand on things, dont worry!

Dandy is the only Toon to ever have been human at one point (all the other Toons were born as Toons). There's many themes about coming-of-age, finding your identity, and accepting yourself for who you are that Dandy as a protagonist will explore. He starts out in the story very out of character, but ends up becoming more and more like his canon self as the story goes on and as he begins to grow more accepting and confident in both his body and himself.

There are many more Toons than just the main Dandy's World cast, but the canon characters are the main focus. Lots of characters will be re-written to have more depth and intrigue, such as Sprout and Every Single Woman Besides Shelly And Vee.

Thank you for reading this far if you have. Here's a Freeform!Dandy in a slightly more realistic style as a treat :))
