(all in due time friend, prob after I finish the Academy Stories)
Woody has mentioned the 'dramatic human emotions' thing to Nebula, human Buzz, and Valerie. Nebula doesn't really care (he hears many of Woody's rants and has bigger things to worry about). Buzz is confused by what Woody means by dramatic, as Buzz doesn't have dramatic emotional moments (at least under normal circumstances). Valerie (per her species culture) is very curious about how Woody experiences human emotions, and they talk about his human experience often. Woody learns a lot about emotional regulation and stress-relieving techniques from her.
Right now, I see Ro (Rob he'll prob be called) as an alternate version of XR. I'm still debating on when/if XR will make an appearance. If he does, it'll be different from the show's origins for sure, I just hope I'll be able to capture his spirit. You'll notice that Rob is very monotone and nonchalant compared to XR. I based him on the robot in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also because XR's 'extra' personality comes from how he was made in the Blosc movie. So for now, think of Rob as a different XR model, a humoid one Star Command is trying out.
Sid's toys... hmmm. Honestly didn't think about it, but I am now. I do have concept plans for the other toys' doppelgangers... and Sid, so maybe I'll expand the idea with the mutant toys making an appearance!
(why do the pictures show up that big? If anyone knows how to change it lmk in comments)
Woody's sad about losing his hat. It gives him a little bit of comfort knowing (hoping) that wherever Buzz is, his hat is there with him. But don't worry! He'll get a new hat as a gift from someone later in the series!
At first, the other cadets resented Woody for the rumored special treatment, then they were a bit confused as to why he even got "special treatment" as he didn't appear to know anything about their world. After learning he was from another dimension, it started making sense, but the jokes and jabs didn't stop. Not until the blaster evaluation. Then they all shut up (except for Warp) and respected Woody's skill.
The humans have been thoroughly confused by Woody's sayings. They come so naturally to Woody that he doesn't understand why they look at him strangely when he says them. Woody mostly mutters them when he's annoyed, so most of the time people think they've only misheard him. But if they're sure that's really what he said, they think he must have been some kind of robot back home. After all, who says Manufacture like it's a curse word lol! Down the road, his friends are certain Woody worked closely with children in his dimension; he's got a way with kids that is undeniable.
Honestly, I forgot Lucky Luke existed. Bud Lucky is a reference to the main character designer for Woody in Toy Story 1. He's the one who turned the ventriloquist doll concept of Woody into the handsome pull-string cowboy we know and love today. (what a save really). You know it's such a nice coincidence, let's just say Woodrow's grandfather looked a bit like Lucky Luke.
Not many food-related things in this alien world remind Woody of his friends, thankfully. Tho they have something reminiscent of potatoes that gave him pause at first. But hey, food is food.
Warp's name change is a part of a Fascinatingly Tragic backstory for the character that came to me in a demented fever dream. I will Definitely be writing out that whole story and publish it (but it will be much later, after I've finished Woody's arc). All you need to know rn is that Warith is his birth name, but it was changed to Warp (for dishonorable family drama reasons) when he was only a few weeks old. I'm not even sure if, at this point, Warp knows the full story. Everyone, including Warp, only knows his first name as Warp.
