"You're everything I dreamed you'd be

A miracle to me

They don't get to tell you what your worth"

He is her everything, but he only seems to remember the echo's of a melody. The words muffled by time and the fog of forgetfulness. What happened to his head once he crossed the threshold of his Uncle's seemingly cheery neighborhood.

Hiii it's me again :> I had some questions for Andy ^^

What's their favorite game to play? Does he have a favorite hobby they enjoy doing?

Also how old is Andy exactly? I know you said he was a teen but are they pushing 18 or are they like barely a teenager?

Another question but how's their home life with Howdy? I know you said in your previous post that Andy lives with Howdy, so what kind of things do the two of them do? What's their routine like for the most part :]?

“Mmm my favorite game? Well i love a good game of freeze tag! Volleyballs fun too! Oh oh and i really like soccer! Oh but ping pongs also super fun….Ahhhhh I can’t decide”

“Um…. Just between you and me… i really like singing and music. I.. i wanna learn how to play guitar but i can only really practice at night. Howdy found an old one in his shop and let me have it as payment for helping him with the shop. It’s old and gets out of tune easily but…. I like it a lot.”

“I’m 16! Going to be 17 soon!”

“Living with Uncle Howdy is great! He gave me my own room, it was a storage closet before, but hey its still homey! We hang out all the time! I even help manage the store!! For the most part we work but he’ll let me go out and play with Julie and the other neighbors pretty much all the time. I just have to be back before it gets dark. After that i stay inside and… hang out with howdy… i think… My mind gets kinda fuzzy at night.”

Does Andy have autism?

Hmmm Andy could very well have autism, but I didn’t write him with that intention. I think ultimately its up to interpretation.

He probably has adhd for sure and those tend to come together so he could easily have autism.

I have both so its probably me being reflected through Andy. Andy was written with a lot of my personality and experiences. So if he comes off as autistic thats probably why, so i’d be pretty happy if you interpreted him as autistic. But its totally up to interpretation.

How does Andy act around howyu and doyu?

Andy's pretty chill with them. He keeps to himself until they engage with him since he feels awkward around everyone. But he'll happily play with them.

My creature is skittish with the pillars. He feels like he's walking on eggshells a lot of the time. Obviously no one has beef with the child of the person who cut them off, but it's still hard for them to connect to him. Howdy is the only one who's very open and protective of Andy. Partially because he was close with Missya, but mostly because he's become attached to the silly teen.

Also if u don't mind me asking, is there any specific reason why Missya is estranged from Howdy or the rest of the family? I'm genually curious to why they aren't rly close 😭. You don't have to answer if you don't want to ^^!

Missya has always been the black sheep of the family in my head. She loved her family, she was especially close with howdy since they were around the same age, but she would get into fights with their parents. It got worse when she was a teen and later as a young adult. She didn’t want to join the family business, and her taste in men wasn’t what her parents wanted for her.

But the biggest reason she had become estranged was bc she eloped with Rich. He was a nepo baby and had everything handed to him. He genuinely did not know how to do a lot of simple tasks. How he was able to land missya was beyond him. When they eloped they cut contact with her family entirely. It was her choice to do this. She probably got into a huge fight with her parents and decided to leave after that.

Her family didn’t even know about Andy’s existence til he showed up at one of their family get togethers….alone weirdly enough. He claimed he wanted to meet his family and for some reason Missya let him go. All of this is according to Andy, who cant seem to remember all the details….

Last thing, Rich and Missy’s relationship wasn’t bad despite the rushed decision. She loved him and he loved her. He just wasn’t ready to be a dad…

Sorry for the long text post but i have a lot of ideas and you gave me an excuse to lore dump so i hope you enjoyed it a little bit. Feel free to ask me more or you could even ask Andy any questions you have! Thank you for being interested in my oc’s!!

[puppetcafe]

Thank u for answering my previous questions :D! I've been so obsessed with Andy's story for the past few days, it's all I can think of 😔.

I have another question about Andy and his parents :]. Is there any specific reason why missya usually sends Andy off to family events or why he's always away from home? Like smth going one with her and his dad that she'd rather them be away from home? I'd love to hear more about Andy his whole back story :].

I'm so sorry once again for asking so many questions 😭. I've been doodling my wh oc and Andy tg, I think they'd be the type of cousins always seen tg at family events and just out in the wild ^^.

Of course!! Thank you for asking!! I love talking about my lore so feel free to send as many questions as you want!

Now about your question, I think i need to explain some stuff a bit better. To start it's not often. Andy came to a pillar family reunion and then began staying with Howdy. Howdy offered to let him stay with him after an incident that happened when he was walking Andy back to the border. This then morphed into Andy calling Missya and her allowing him to stay with Howdy, according to Andy. Howdy never actually got to talk to Missya, but Andy seems to fully believe what he is saying. And Andy is a bad liar.

Andy doesn't talk about his parents too much. He doesn't really have a great relationship with his dad. And the most he's said about his mom are that they were very close. He'll sometimes mention something about his mom, but he rarely stays on that topic. When asked about it he will genuinely have no clue as to what you're asking him.

In the lore of the show Andy was created in the later seasons as a way of encouraging kids to play more sports. He'd prob only be in the last season and he wasn't always involved with the main plots. I think he could've also been made to kinda try and get kids more interested in the show by introducing a new character, but he just didn't impact the number enough to warrant him being in every episode. Maybe he had a segment like on sesame street where he'd play with the other cast members occasionally but I'm not too sure.

Hiii I had some more questions for Andy if that's alright with you ^_^!

Is Andy close to any other family members besides howdy? Such as his grandparents or his Aunt and uncles?

Is Andy also close to the twins? Like do they watch them at family events and actively hang out with the twins?

Also does Andy know the full extent of what happened with his mother and his grandparents? Or is it a topic the family actively ignores because of how badly things ended.

(My final questions for this ask 😭)

Was their something in specific that caused Missya and her parents to go no contact? How did they react to the news and did they try to reach out or did they respect the descions. Was it because she decided to marry Rich or was there more to why she decided to cut contact.

Finally, will she ever contact the family again or are they something she left in the past? I'd assume some of her siblings still miss her and would try to get into contact.

Also I'm sorry I keep asking questions 😭 I genually can't stop thinking of Andy and their whole lore. I keep thinking about Andy daily 😔

"I get along with everyone but i'm not particularly close to any pillars other than Howdy. I think they feel a bit awkward around me. Maybe it's because of my mom....uh but I'm not sure. My grandma has tried to talk to me but we don't really get very far in conversations. I actually get along more with certain neighbors." "I love the twins! I only see them every so often, but when they're over we'll play store and whatever else they want to play. I think they really like hanging out with Barnaby too so he tends to hang around us as well!"

"I......I don't know much about what happened. Mom didn't-doesn't talk about it and dad doesn't know anything outside of what I know. But I think she regrets it to a point. Maybe she feels like she's too deep in the hole she dug and can't reach out again. I'm not sure. We don't talk about it. After all....that's not happy stuff." Cafe here, Andy wouldn't know this stuff so I'm going to take over for them. There was a big argument that caused Missy to essentially vanish. It wasn't out of nowhere though. Tension had been building and this was the final nail in the coffin. Missy had always felt like she was never what her parents wanted her to be, and when she started dating Rich and considering him as a life partner her parents had to voice their opinions. Rich was.....well....kinda pathetic so obviously Missy was far too good for him. But she loved him and felt like her parents were simply trying to push her into something she didn't want. Missya stormed out that night and never returned. Her parents tried to get her number, tried to call Rich, but they never managed to get a hold of her. And then, years later, Andy showed up.

Missy had put herself in a corner and is too stubborn to get out of it. So no, she won't contact her family again, even if she regrets her decision. She will only talk to her precious baby.
