How I like to characterize Sprout is that he’s great talking with the ones he’s close with (Cosmo, Astro, etc.) But incredibly socially awkward with others. He comes off as brash, but he’s trying his best.

What guidelines do you try to follow when writing Sprout? I’m just curious.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to yap about one of my favourite characters hehe..

You asked for guidelines I gave you a character analysis instead.

(Don't mind the images I didn't want this post to look naked)

ALSO NOTE THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY THIS IS MERELY MY INTERPRETATION OF HIS CHARACTER. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN!! Don't take my post as a mandatory guide to follow.

Let's talk about what's canon:

I like checking the Wikipedia for his dialogues every now and then to make sure he's not too out-of-character.

Sprout comes off as blunt, he does not sugarcoat his words when he has something to say.

Not even an excuse or a reason as to why he doesn't want to join Teagan for tea; It was straight up a "no" until Teagan told him Cosmo will join them too. (Also I want to point out he doesn't immediately say yes when he's told Cosmo will be there, so for all we know he'd still decline even if his best friend's joining Teagan).

Dandy's dialogue when you purchase Sprout. I think about it a lot. Out of all the character dialogues, the one with Astro is what I feel like is an example of his overprotectiveness coming across as "pushy".

He'd definitely be the type to scold his friends. Especially after Gardenview's shutdown with all the Twisteds wreaking havoc and whatnot. I don't think Sprout is fond of going on runs, but only does so he can watch over everyone and keep them safe. He makes sure everyone is focused and on high alert, he doesn't want anyone to be reckless.

He prioritizes safety over answers. His dialogue with Rodger shows that. Maybe he's also curious as to what has happened, because in Vee's dialogue he tried talking to Dandy only for Dandy to walk away. I assume Sprout just wanted to check up on him rather than knowing what's going on with Gardenview and the Twisteds.

Another thing I don't really see often is how Sprout is actually pretty forgetful and impulsive.

For a Toon who's constantly keeping watch on everyone he surely does not apply the same kind of attention to himself.

He talks before thinking about his words, but once he realized that he immediately apologized to Vee. I don't think he always notices when he comes across as rude though.

I actually think he's actually quite reckless when he bakes. I obviously can't show it in this post but if you look at that animation with Cosmo and Sprout baking they're not even measuring the ingredients. I mean what. 😭

The way he bakes feels so impulsive and it just looked like they were winging it. Somehow despite that their baked goods still end up great and that's honestly impressive.

Okay now for that dialogue between Bobette and Sprout, I was getting there-- I've never made a gingerbread house but from what I've seen from other people it requires a lot more patience and carefulness.

Sprout is neither.

According to him, his gingerbread house fell apart immediately and then he stopped trying afterwards. It's honestly funny.

I feel like this also shows through his stats. Both his extraction speed and skillcheck is 2 stars. His stamina and speed is way higher. He prefers running around, probably to make sure he can watch over everyone during their runs. That or because he has long legs.

Anyway to recap; Sprout in canon is blunt, pushy, overprotective, and impulsive. But he genuinely has good intentions and means well. He cares for his friends, which is why he scolds them because he wants to make sure they're safe.

Now for some headcanons:

Okay this is the part where I make stuff up. So it's just my take;

• He has ADHD.

I'M STARTING WITH THE NEURODIVERGENT HEADCANON.

This is not a unique headcanon. I've seen so many people who headcanons this too so it's relatively popular. Personally, I only see him with ADHD. (I'm projecting).

He's forgetful, impulsive, and quite socially awkward in a way aswell. He's easily distracted. He keeps forgetting about the oven. He's impulsive when baking. I'm a very impulsive and reckless person myself, I constantly make mistakes when I draw, yet somehow they end up okay 😭. When I'm not able to draw something right, I give up immediately. (I projected this onto the gingerbread house thing earlier).

• He comes across as intimidating.

You know in Kids' birthday parties when there's a mascot a lotta kids go run and hide? I based it off of that. I remember when I was like, 6 or 7, when a mascot came in I cried and hid under a table. They were tall.. <\3

I feel like there was a concerning number of kids who were actually afraid of him, despite how friendly he appears both in person and in the show. Maybe it's the RBF when he's not smiling..

I also like to think he's taller than some of the kids who comes to Gardenview which plays a factor to the whole "intimidating" thing. The way Sprout deals with this is giving the kids cupcakes or other sweets. Once the kids actually talk to him they're immediately comfortable.

• He was one of the very first to become "Twisted".

I don't have a concrete idea on how the story of the game goes, but I always imagine the Mains being the first victims. Sprout is a healer and he keeps an eye on everyone, so he had to go first.

Okay, I think that's all now. If you read all of that wow thanks, this took me hours to write 😭. I love overanalysing characters.

Heres some more of these :3 yes I'm doing every toon eventually

My big old ramble abt dandys world ichor

Dandy needs the tapes to keep his ichor corruption at bay, I like to think he needs something inside the tapes that can combat ichor corruption

Toons are biologically engineered using ichor and other assorted materials, this is implying ichor can be classified as living

This also means ichor is like a blood to toons

Main toons contain more ichor than regulars and are more prone to corruption and other issues, thus the true reasons for the handlers (The regular ones being helping them out around gardenview with guests and stuff)

Ichor is transmitted via touch, once you come in contact with it, you are prone to corruption depending on the amt

Twisteds are fully corrupted scrapped toons who were left for research purposes, so when gardenview closed down, they managed to get out

Main toons were extremely well kept and hard to replicate therefore the reason they are so hard to come across as twisteds

The current toons have been around the longest out of any group of toons, due to gardenview believing they perfected their saftey against ichor

Twisteds are semi-conscious, some more coherent than others, but they do all feel and overwhelming violent agression towards the toons and living humans

The toons go on ichor runs to drain excess ichor, the reason for the corruption

Due to Dandy's corruption, he has lost most of his care for the others

There has only ever been one Dandy, he has never been replicated or replaced, thus why you only encounter him in a Dandy run

The only toon he still truely and fully cares for is Pebble, considering they were made to be together forever

Twisteds appearance alterations take at least a couple weeks to fully take effect, and it effects some worse than others (most notably the mains)

Dandys use of tapes most likely only works on him, and hes trying to figure out how to fully reverse the effects

Despite the ichor corruption causing the shutdown of gardenview, the toons still carry on with what they can (Vee runs her show, Dandy runs his shop, shelly studies dinosaurs, etc)

I DID IT!!!

Took me like 35 minutes but it was worth it!!!

Note that this is all hc and speculation, so if anything is proven wrong completely its fine!

(Ill just make it an au)

But in the end, does anybody?

My friend brought up the idea that Dazzle was still conscious as a Twisted (Glisten style) but is unable to express it because of Razzle and I went feral

I think the reasoning was because Dazzle looks in genuine distress and her teeth are flat while Razzle's are sharp. It could very clearly be a desgin choice, but that never stopped me

Led me into thinking about certain aspects of them with this HC

First off: Dazzle being unable to communicate to anyone. You can only speak so well with half a mouth. Also I feel like Razzle would quickly shut Razzle down is she tried to talk

(Twisted Razzle is a whole other can of worms)

Second: I think it would be neat that she's the one actually keeping Razzle "down," if that makes sense. Like, if she wasn't there, Razzle would be hostile to anyone who walked in his circle.

I dunno. I like Dazzle a lot and wanna make her special. Also the angst ideas feed me <3

Ho ☺️

I like to think that Sprout despite being a bit overprotective really tries his best not to be like “they’ll be fine on their own, it’ll be alright-“ kind of in an overthinking kind of way. Sprout just seems stressed to me.

I feel like Cosmo is similar to Sprout but he manages it a lot better, when he’s in runs he feels bad that he can’t be more helpful (I get that way whenever I play him so I don’t). I also feel like Cosmo bakes a smidge more than Sprout. Sprout prefers cooking a little more but enjoys spending time with his friends anyways.

Even more of a hc but I feel like they’d be more in that queer platonic category of relationship since I don’t particularly ship toons since I like most of the pairings. They’d be snuggly but not in a regular relationship.

Sprout also seems like he has a bit of anger bubbling up, I haven’t looked at all of his dialogue but it does come off that way for me. Cosmo assists him in managing it better:)

That’s all I got, hope this assists with interpretations!!

Guysguys hey guys... If it's not too much trouble I'd like to know how y'all interpret/characterize Sprout and Cosmo... I love seeing people's own depictions cause seeing different takes upon the characters are cool... (Hcs are welcome too!)

Can you do twisted Astro x reader and he acts like a big cat who purrs at reader’s affection

──✩₊⁺⋆ THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE ⋆⁺₊✧──

✦ Twisted Astro hums and wails when he wanders, but when you pet him? The sound changes. His quiet, eerie ambience melts into a deep, rhythmic purr, like distant thunder rolling through a quiet sky. It’s low, constant, and almost hypnotic—the kind of sound that makes your eyelids heavy.

✦ The first time you run your fingers over his blanket-covered shoulder, he stiffens. But then? He melts into it. His weight leans against you, heavy and slow, like he’s soaking in the warmth. The more affection you give, the more he sinks into you, like a cat pressing itself against the hand that feeds it.

✦ His four arms were once something he tried to keep hidden, tucked close to himself in shame. But when he grows comfortable with you, he starts using them—kneading at your back, your arms, anywhere he can reach. His claws never break through his blanket, but the gentle press of his hands is there, grounding, like he’s making sure you’re real.

✦ His nightcap twitches when he’s idle, but when you scratch at the base of it, right where it meets his head? It flicks like a cat’s tail when it’s happy. He doesn’t even seem to notice it happening—he just closes his eyes, sighing out a soft hum, like he’s slipping into a dream.

✦ Sometimes, when you press your forehead against his blanket, he lets out a breathy sound—a short, stuttered exhale that almost sounds like a chuckle. But it’s not. It’s a chuff, the same way big cats greet those they trust. It’s his way of saying, I see you. I know you’re here.

✦ His red eyes, tired and haunted, are always half-lidded. But when he looks at you, really looks at you, they close in slow, deliberate blinks. It’s trusting. Soft. An unspoken invitation: Stay with me a little longer.

✦ Twisted Astro is taller than you. He shouldn’t be able to curl up against you the way he does, but somehow, he makes it work. If you sit somewhere still for too long, he ends up draped over you, his blanket pooling around you both. You swear his purring gets louder when he does this, like he’s soaking up your presence.

✦ He doesn’t show it outright, but he does get possessive. If another Toon lingers too close to you, he’ll drift behind you, pressing his face into the crook of your neck. It’s cold, the ichor on his face seeping through your clothes, but the gesture itself is warm. Territorial. Mine.

✦ His whole existence revolves around dreams, so when he sleeps next to you, you start seeing strange, celestial visions—glimpses of moonscapes, floating islands, and the soft glow of an unseen sun. When you tell him about them, he hums in approval. Good. You’re dreaming safely.

✦ When you have to part ways, he hesitates. His four arms hover around you, like he wants to hold you close but isn’t sure if he should. Then, finally, he leans in—pressing his forehead against yours, his purrs thrumming through your bones. It lingers, just for a moment, before he pulls away. Sweet dreams…
