I kinda wish the Dandy's World fan versions didn't usually always use the Mains, and actually used other chars too as in Pomni = Boxten's nightmares trauma, and subtle implying that Astro accidentally causes/worsens them on accident, Ragatha = Razzle being judged by Delilah Keen and Arthur Walton for not smiling, Kinger = Astro trying to give good dreams that keep others safe but accidentally hurt them, until he breaks mentally too and feels shame. ("No Mains!" Well, Astro's moral greyness is not talked about enough.) Alternatively, can be seen as Flyte trying to overprotect everyone because he cannot see his sister except for Easter month, which even then is inconsistent unlike most Event Mains' one month ordeal, or Dandy or Dyle trying to help everyone but he can't so he feels guilty Dazzle = Gangle masking and playing the sad mask role even tho he hated making others sad and it's why he hates himself, and he hates roles, and being overstimulated by performances and parties, Zooble = Scraps drowning in her own art burnout and overwork keeping others and Goob safe. Jax = Eclipse when she feels friendless because nobody has time to hang out with her, Brusha when she worries people don't truly care about her outside of what the show tells others to do, and losing herself as well to roles. Squirm worrying his friends hate him and that he's seen as a baby.
I'm one of the rare 2010 bitches who gets it....and also fans straight up snored on Dazzle's lore. Like....HONK MI MI MI..snored. About how she tries to break from the role and is aware of roles like some Toons, but unlike some, tries to BREAK em, semi broke his own on PURPOSE. Ya'll turn about how Yatta n Squirm are aware and dislike it, and stop at that. But ignore the og role breaker and disliker other than Dandy and Vee disliking roles somewhat, Vee somewhat breaking them. THE ONE EXISTING SINCE THE ALPHA UPD.
10 posts!
Me when my transfem Dazzle hc (Dandy's World) ...Almost there, almost done. Draws over canon art or 3d model of Dazzle with eyelashes. ...And there! Some fans (respond like the family and dad when the fg painting, except this time it is not rational): Gasps! What have you done!? Me: I painted the truth, I painted my truth. (The FG I painted the truth meme with Peter painting.)
Ya'll SLEPT on Scraps' lore
Also fans claim Scraps has no lore or bad dialogue with others or both, I...guys, the point is due to her flaw of having to protect Goob cus she was created to be his older sister, to the point of parentifcation, and post shutdown, missing being an Art Teacher, and has to work a lot to protect Goob and her friends and parent everyone during the shutdown, has taken a toll on her artistically, so she draws less because she has a lot on her mind, Astro and Scraps discuss this, and it affected Scraps' artistic, and general personality too, hence why half of her dialogues are not about art or are generic. Her arc is about erasure, you morons. She is literally a mostly blank Paper Craft, who feels blank and empty emotionally. Ofc she has bursts of artistic passion, but bursts are still bursts. Bad Day - Daniel Powter is so Scraps coded.;
(Also Scraps says "Ugh, I miss doing craft time here!" when in her part of the Art Map (the one with Scraps' introduction poster, and the art stuff on a table.) Meaning she hasn't found the inspiration too since all of the existing factors.) Personality and artistic erasure are character flaws, this is not bad writing. Astro literally comments that Scraps has been drawing less, and we see physical proof, because Scraps as we see in lore has only drawn once lately, and only sometimes does artistic things, and sometimes has to rely on others for help, one of them being Blot, because one of her other flaws is art block due to all this stress. I feel Scraps learning to make vent art, and talking to others about it when she is ready, unless she doesn't need to, could help her mentally.
Rambling about my morally grey queen of a Moon: I swear fans when they realise Astro canonically puts dreams off the show in others' heads and only stops when she notices it hurts the Toon, but only when she notices, so...yeah. While Astro before she realised it was wrong gave unhealthy speeches about how the show and their memories are valid, even if someone wants to not talk about the show, she learned to stop that, her regret of worsening many Sprout's canonically, and many Toons' pre existing issues but also sadly learned when she brings up an issue, if someone doesn't wanna talk about it, don't bring it up again, she can only properly offer her prescence to child or pet characters, sweet, it shows she still has her parental touch from taking care of Pebble and kids that visited Gardenview, but also shows how the talkative and glowy Astro in the Astro and Sprout, either no longer exists, or has been repressed. Why does she do the dream shit and formerly the explainations. She thinks if the memories of the show isn't real, then she and none of her friends are real and none of the show memories she has, since every Toon is created with them, I think except Dyle canonically, the only canon Toon I think to have show memories, because bro was literally only made to run the Gardenview train...Hugs Dyle. Are real. She thinks it helps herself and others, and that others love the dreams and memories as she does, Astro is selfish. And this denial lead her to Twist, hence why Twisted Astro head in denial and a mental breakdown, and drinks Ichor to drown out the possibility that nothing might be real, even if it hurts her mind or Twists her more. Spread the word; #Astroismorallygrey.

And she puts her own needs aside because she feels she doesn't deserve them after "the 'damage' she did". She thought she was being helpful always., She thought she was helpful to others and herself. I love her. I need her. She's my mommy moon.~♡☆
Astro is Morally Grey And I Love That (ft. Sprout and Cosmo)
ASTRO LORE (ALSO SOME SPROUT AND MILD COSMO LORE DOWN HERE BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE TO PLAY THE GAME OR SEE THE TAPE FIRST!:
Are we NOT gonna talk about how morally grey Astro is now? Only the Sprout stuff?, (Good for Sprout for getting more lore ofc.) Since the Sprout Astro lore reveals Astro put dreams of the show in people. Astro is in denial of the show memories not being real and worries he and his friends aren't real, so as a selfless and selfish thing, puts dreams of the show as a comfort in, and formerly, tried to convince others it was real and they're real (ofc they're real) since he believed it, and Astro was conditioned to believe it, so he told others it was. Then Astro realised his denial made the Toons' flaws worse, so he began to suppress his needs and blame himself and only bring up a problem and not give answers until someone says they wanna talk about it, because he remembers what happened last time, is more aware of what doing things naively can do. (It's why he can't give the dream to Gourdy, it's why he cannot befriend Eclipse right away (He doesn't wanna hurt people he can only see for a month, or anyone.) The Old Astro would have given both of those things too fast, like he used to when giving Gourdy dreams. He hasn't realised the dream giving is wrong because Astro wants to grow and be better mentally, but is rooted in place by his issues and believing he deserves nothing and no love because of his mistakes, and mainly, Astro is still stuck, in that horrific, nightmarish denial. Until it TWISTS him. Also Astro is always there for Dandy and always gives Dandy good dreams of the show and good things, which is cute, but I think it hurts Dandy accidentally. Moon and Flower symbolism. Moonlight can help a flower, but can also hurt/overwhelm it. (No, I do NOT think Astro is evil, he is heavily misguided and in denial that a lot of his life is not real.) Astro did accidentally hurt Sprout in the Sprout and Astro tape with "Yes, the memories are real." Because Astro thought they were, and didn't want to question them despite his usual questioning, because questioning if him and his friends and their beloved memories are real hurts like hell, and he doesn't want Sprout to feel unimportant and unreal, nobody deserves to, and Astro shows no concern for what Sprout is absorbing from what he is saying, only learning this unhealthy message to stop talking maybe when Sprout blurted out to stop talking about episodes in a grief panic, questioning his memories and himself, but Astro only fully took the unhealthy thing Sprout did NOT AT ALL WANT HIM TO TAKE, to heart once Astro realised the damage with all the Toons being heavily flawed, but does show concern for Sprout in general because Astro cares about him, like when Sprout misses Cosmo, before Cosmo was created. Astro made a mistake here and thought the answer was silencing himself and his own needs forever. My baby.
The Psychology and Misunderstandings of Cosmo and his Traumas
I feel not many fans get Cosmo's trauma. Many project their trauma onto Cosmo by making Sprout a toxic, usually sexually absive friend. The only thing they got right is that the person Cosmo's root trauma started with is Sprout, BUT NOT AT ALL FOR THOSE REASONS. I don't mind the venters, I mind those, venters or not, saying THIS IS WHO THE CHARACTERS REALLY ARE! OMFG!
1. Cosmo's canon first trauma: The Sprout room has a tape of Cosmo and Sprout, cute, they're baking. (I think the tape takes place either just pre shutdown or when they were kids, what does the date say on the tape, and idk what the tape is called on the wiki, lol, or maybe it's a cctv recording that plays on the tv) THEN A FIRE BREAKS ON THE STOVE. Both are shocked, THEN SPROUT JUMPS IN FRONT TO PROTECT COSMO. While we don't see anyone's reaction. Based on Cosmo's lore, this likely terrified or traumatised Cosmo. Since imagine your best friend going in front of a scary fire to save your life, and this is where I think Cosmo got his "prevent danger or anything bad before it happens" trauma. Yes, Sam came in and put out the fire before anyone was hurt, but Sam was the keep this place safe for my job kind of person, so even if they did care about Sprout and Cosmo, they did not have the emotional skills to show affection to either, so both had to console them once they burnt out and was in fear of job losing distress when these two should have consolled for the trauma too, or if Sprout and Cosmo were both kids, it should have been the other way round.
2. When Ginger was made. I hc she is younger than Cosmo, but they are both canonically cousins, I hc both got to meet for a bit, maybe a day or days or weeks, before Ginger was put with the other existing Christmas Toons at the time for the Christmas Event and Cosmo was never told, so he just woke up one day to Ginger gone, and the handlers thought he'd be fine. It is likely Sprout got traumatised by this too, and it worsened his fear of abandonment and loneliness, cus he's close to both cousins, and both best friends had an enmeshment period (not sibling enmesh, the two are not sibs) where they could not stand to be away from eachother (I'm talking sharing a bed and room and hugging and crying and over bonding shit.) In fear the other or they could dissapear.
3. The fact that when he used to try baking, it always set fires, I hc it brought him back to the root trauma seeing fire again, so he improved quickly cus fire became that traumatic to him and became to him "the thing that almost killed Sprout and me and Sam" (since I hc Sam running in front of the fire with an extinguisher made Cosmo feel worse since he saw Sprout in front of the fire and was near fire, and probably blame himself, it is unknown if Cosmo blames himself, though.)
4. This belief was reinforced when the Flutter Cookies accident, when Cosmo tried to bake cookies of Flutter's face, and he used gumballs for eyes, and then they melted in the fire of the oven, and Cosmo saw it, and cried for a WEEK, it was that scary for Cosmo (either Sprout thought the gumball eyes melting were THAT scary, hence why he explained to Flutter on why they won't try to make cookies of her face again (I think this was when Sprout and Cosmo stopped making cookies of anyone's face because it hurt Cosmo this badly mentally.) Or Sprout was repeating was Cosmo said, in order to protect Cosmo.
5. the Shutdown./The Malfunction Incident. Anyone could have gotten hurt. I think this is when Cosmo's fears went from fire and friends dying because I didn't pre act to -> fear of all those and fear of death all together.
6. The Ichor Operation. Now Cosmo has to protect his friends from Ichor and Twisteds. So Cosmo made a drastic decision, not wanting to lose anyone or go through or anyone else to go through more trauma subconsiously, he began to give away two of three of his hearts, but never gave away his last because he still wants to live, if he dies, he cannot do what he loves anymore (baking, making friends happy, spending time with friends) or protect his friends from their doom, hence his cautious personality, and his canon Active being Sharing Is Caring! Which involves giving away 1 heart, but he cannot when he is at 1 heart. 6. The Event baking with Sprout. While not as triggering, I hc that since all of this, either of them making a mistake triggers Cosmo and he becomes annoyed at the situation, showing that even minor inconveniences trigger Cosmo now. Fans are right, Cosmo is a traumatised individual, one of the most severely traumatised. But not in the way fans think.
Understanding Tisha's and also some of Brusha's Psychology and their Conflict (ft. Sprout cus LEAVE HIM ALONE!)
Some fans sympathise with Tisha for the wrong reasons. "Every Toon treats her like a SLAVE, and she should be meaner to other Toons and choke Sprout! (Aka one of their biggest scapegoat or woobie Toons is Sprout, or maybe both)" I....don't only one or two Toons ask her to clean. Also some fans say "And the other Toons cannot obey Tisha's simple request of keeping their rooms clean." OH MY GOD, isn't it implied Tisha sometimes cleans some Toon's rooms without their consent cus she thinks it is helping or she simply says she'll clean it one off before the Toon gets a chance to respond at least, TALK ABOUT THAT XD. Also the Toons have some mental reasons for why they can't. I swear some fans forget Tisha chooses to clean and overwork herself when she does not have to, and that is a personal flaw of her's. Also fans forget Tisha's canon flaw is not communication issues as in she cannot talk to someone she had conflict with like a good girl maid stereotype, it's that she thinks she doesn't deserve to be spoken to post conflict until someone has forgiven her since she was raised as a maid, aka, the reality of being raised as a maid and nothing else and not the anime or fanfic toxic straightslash or toxic femslash version.
Also some fans mischar the Brusha Tisha conflict as either: Tisha has communication issues when conflict because she is petty or personally traumatised Brusha doesn't appreciate her cleanng (altho canon never implies, and if Tisha thought that, she'd just do what she did in canon, which is wait for Brusha to apologise or say she appreciates or needs her for cleaning or wait to apologise herself lol-) or hates Brusha cus Brusha is messy when....guys, pfftt, fans have not seen the dialogue where it is confirmed Tisha hates messes, but not Toons who make them, and that some of the messiest Toons are her friends or acquantinces, Shelly literally hunts for fossils, and these two are close besties. Or they dumb it down to Brusha being a horrible toxic person or bitch. I....no, it's cus Tisha thinks she did something wrong herself, so thinks Brusha talking to her isn't something she has earned until she idk, cleaned something for Brusha, or one of them has apologised, or Brusha says she appreciates her cleaning or needs her, idk. While Brusha is canonically heavily insecure and self neglectful and emotionally starves herself and rejects care cus she feels she has to overwork and be the best artist, probably what started their conflict cus it pushes on their personal trauma, so takes this all personally, but still wants to be Tisha's friend. I like this conflict UwU. AND THE FANDOM VILLANISED ONE OR BOTH. OH LAWD.
That and Brusha believes she and everything is not real that broke her and everyone mentally, and made it hard for her to talk to others'.
I hope Qwel's 2026 Updates knocks some sense into you all.
All the Mains have a need
Oh god, all the mains have a need. Bassie wants to belong and not be seen as dependent although it was her abusers who gaslit her into think her dependency was too much, Shelly wants to be wanted, Vee wants to be listened to, Astro wants to be needed, Sprout wants to be liked/lovable, Bobette wants to be dependable and to be seen as important, but doesn't realise she needs breaks, same as Sprout, Gourdy needs care and trauma healing.
My analysis on Wilting 🌸
This is just my theory, but I don't think Bassie's motive to hurt Cocoa was envy and jealousy. Yes, she envied Cocoa. But I think Bassie has trust issues since she learned early that if she has something good, someone will take it, because she feels she is worthless and that is all people want from her, and she has no idea Cocoa does not know about Delilah trying to replace her, and thinks Cocoa is trying to be the Easter Main and that hurts her, making her angry at Cocoa since she is a lot in her head and has nightmares a lot so she thinks Cocoa will betray her like Delilah and Arthur, since her self worth issues make her think nobody wants her for her. So realising about the Cocoa plushies shocked her, but seeing them in the Easter area and the Bassie plushie on the floor caused her to think Cocoa was using her and her anger to Cocoa is due to her thinking Cocoa was using her for years, but seeing the Bassie plush on the floor in the Easter Map made her think Cocoa did this or enjoys this, but the real motive for trying to kill Cocoa was the fact that she thought Cocoa would try to kill her once she has everything she has since she thinks she is too worthless for someone to want to keep her alive once her role as the Main Easter Toon is gone since she defines her self worth on that role and not wanting to be betrayed turning into doesn't want to die, rather than doesn't want to share, and Cocoa is kind but can be overwhelming and unaware her energy causes others to think she wants to replace them (ie Bassie and Cocoa plush situation, Cocoa and Sprout situation) even though her overwhelming desire to help and share and make friends is because she wants friends and to be loved and she is unaware that she was going to a replacement.
Bassie does not seem like the kind of person to hate someone due to envy, more if she thinks someone will betray her, since when she just envies Cocoa, she cares about Cocoa, but feels sad. She never stopped caring about Cocoa, she always wanted to stay Cocoa's friends, that and Ichor forced her emotions of not wanting to die and betrayal to the surface since she'd never do this to Cocoa if lucid mentally, both are victims of a horrific system and both care about eachother deeply as friends and in general, it could be seen as best friends or friends or a ship if you want. Even when Twisted Bassie tries to kill Cocoa, it is for self defence and not wanting to die or for Cocoa to literally kill her, rather than wanting her role back, even when she thought Cocoa deserved to die back for what she thought she did, she still loved her and couldn't bare to make it slow or painful and couldn't finish it, or accidentally left her alive, or the Ichor Twisted her instead of killed her, or Twisted Bassie didn't injure her enough to kill her,and her sad half didn't want this at all, even her angry side is just in self defence mode and thinks she has to kill Cocoa to stay alive. (Love is up to interpretation here.)
Dazzle is SC-008A
So Razzle & Dazzle are twins, but never call eachother brother.
Maybe it's because when the Toons call eachother sibling quonotations, it confirms who was made first.
Dazzle acts responsible of Razzle, and sometimes believes he knows what Razzle needs, and grounds him mentally, like older siblings do, and reassures him a lot, and acts overresponsible.
I feel the lore and personalities and flaws of the twins is still not meant to be fully revealed yet, so who is older and younger, who is A and B was never confirmed.
I feel it'll do a Pink Diamond thing where everyone expects Razzle to be A, because he is on the left (our left), but no, it's Dazzle, since the game hints at Dazzle being SC-008A, like it did for Rose being Pink Diamond.
