Oh my God the perspective on this was HELL but I think I did a good job. I'm not entirely satisfied with the result, I feel like it's missing something but I just can't quite put my finger on what. That always happens when I draw digitally though, so maybe it's all in my head.
This AU takes place in a world where the toys are actually the people (no humans). While there are many sub groups of toys, there are two main factions that separate the tech from the “normal” toys.
The “tech” toys have their own massive, ever expanding city ruled by company CEOs and an extremely competitive economy as technology continues to rapidly evolve. Some tech toys are considered redundant only after a few years of existing due to constant hardware updates.
While tech toys are relegated to the city, everyone else has much more variety and access to the world. Woody and company live on a massive prairie where he and his sister run a ranch. Tech toys are hardly ever seen in these parts, so when a fugitive from the tech world arrives, it causes a huge stir (Buzz Lightyear woah).
Buzz has since integrated with the people of the prairie and formed a close bond with Jessie, but, suddenly disappeared without a trace. Fliers are spread thoughout the old world with no responses. Jessie realizes that perhaps Buzz has gotten lost (or worse, taken) past no man’s land into Tech City.
Lilypad is the current CEO and lead of “Eggman Technology”. Unlike in canon she is much more ruthless and cruel here. Particularly to the older model toys that belong to the same company (Ex: Smarty, Snappy, and Atlas). She is invested in creating a technological revolution, expanding Tech City into the greater world. Much to the dismay of “normies” (non-tech toys).
Jessie is also a little different in this AU. She still has the abandonment issues, but she is also very hard-headed and stubborn in this universe. Her pre-disposition about tech toys prevents her from seeking any help from the inside until she was left with no choice. She often uses threats to get her way and is not afraid of anyone.
Smarty and the Tech Trio being part of the Eggman company, the three of them have known each other since they came online. Atlas is a taxi driver in the bustling city, Snappy is a struggling photographer and marketing manager, and Smarty is a “hygiene instructor” (whatever that means). The three of them often hang out and try to take their minds off of the many company members suddenly disappearing.
“Sticky” sticky hand is a mute being who is attached to Smartys handle. Despite not being a tech toy, their presence is largely ignored by the city folk. This is because they are usually seen as an extension of Smarty and not a person. Being unable to speak, they act as shoulder to lean on for Jess and Smarty. There is a secretive energy about them despite no one knowing of their past.
Not really a complete concept. I liked the idea of a world ruled by toy people.
dhmis has been a part of my life literally since the beginning as it was the first fandom i joined when i was a kid!! im so happy to finally be making content for it as my older self!! i love this show sm it means the world to me,, HAPPY JUNE 19TH ^^
- from training at a young age from his parent's influence, he's knows everything there is to know about the industry, and feels irritated when people are uneducated about it.
- very quick and arrogant to correct people when they aren't doing something properly or can't understand as fast as he's already been trained to do.
!!tw ed!!
|| - has some form of eating disorder. cannot look at food without thinking about something (whether positive or negative. even when he says he's healed) subconciously dissects others' faults. ||
- is a nepo baby but still extremely talented, doesn't like to fall behind so no one can compare him to his father.
- treats his group like the fucking navy
- he doesn't want threats to his perfect idol image, well almost perfect. he likes to make his members either take the fall or make something else happen to distract the media.
max
- usually tries to hype up the rest of his group, (considering he's the leader, it's lowk his job) although he's tends to be anxious himself.
- only slightly insecure, but usually only takes notice in public settings where people are taking his faults into consideration.
- whole group is full of extroverts, he sits between extroverted and ambivert.
- very relaxed persona off and onscreen, a transparent person that tries his best to not let the media and industry affect who he is as a person.
- sort of inspired by cortis' martin and txt's yeonjun personality and leader wise
