#realized halfway thru dandelions notes that they are extremely autism coded. i am joining the war on autism on the side of autism 🫵

@trainerbob23 breaking up your ask!! all of em will be addressed in due time but for now i wanna focus on the dandelion + dreamy gear ones :]]

💌 (Love Letter) - How easy are they to befriend? Are they more of a social butterfly or a lone wolf?

dandelion is VERY easy to befriend! it's not uncommon for them to walk up to a group of people and insert themself into the conversation easily. zero hesitation when it comes to making friends, but keeping them is more of a struggle. it's mostly up to the other person to maintain that friendship, setting up hangouts and conversations and such. dandelion has a hard time knowing when to follow-up with people, and will often forget that friendship requires actively seeking out the other person, and it's not that they're against it! they'll just probably forget unless expressly asked—

🐛 (Caterpillar) - What are your OC’s greatest fears, and why? How do they act or react when they’re afraid?

large scale changes and separation from community and familiar routines!!

being a native dreamlander through and through, dandelion doesn't like having their blissful peace being ripped away. they rely a lot on the support of those they care about and familiar routines, so getting warped to the Forgotten Land was probably the hardest challenge to face. getting zapped to a completely new place! away from their mentors! being captured by the Beast Pack?!

despite their crippling fears of the unknown, dandelion put on a brave face (chanting "it'llbeokay" over and over again) and let their optimism overpower their fears. now, even when separated from their home in dreamland, they've embraced that change and maybe, some changes aren't all that bad :]

🕰️ (Clock) - What would a Dreamy Gear version of them look like? What sort of accessories would they have? What kind of role do they play?

you've asked this one for all of them, so i went ahead and gave all my OC's a dreamy gear makeover :DD

hopefully my notes are sufficient! floriography and old astronomy, my main inspirations for these guys, are both very victorian-era adjacent already, so the hardest part was pulling off that steampunk aspect!
