woke up in a cold sweat had to draw gays/ref kinda erm anyway
rbs over likes!!!!!!!!!
yapping under cut :3 i love these guys sooo much (contains hcs for both and also their relationship) also erm side note this is like basically half the shrimpo yapping post i mentioned making and side note 2 ignore it if this makes no sense and it has one william typos it is currently past 2 am as im writing this and i am VIBRATING i lvoe them sm
i like to imagine cosmo as being like a doctor/medic of some sort to the other toons (given his ability to heal)(sprout and ginger (and whatever other healers end up getting added but they kinda have their own shit goin on with sprout being a main and ginger only being around during christmastimes) would also be kinda like this but cosmo is like this especially to me) not only in physical health but also mental health,, i think he just naturally is the type of person who is very good at comforting others plus he also probably does extra research to be able to help ppl and make sure everyones doing ok ^-^ even if it takes a toll on him too (why his ability also takes one of his own hearts*)
*i imagine that the hearts ingame are not only representative of their physical health but also MENTAL health,,, since ichor corrupts you by first taking over your MIND then twisting u to the point ur basically a zombiee (in my hcs)(i have a wip yap post about this too) which is why the mains have one heart permanently broken bc the whole situation stresses them out more,,
(Tw i use he/she/they for shrimpo and i use them all interchangeably sorry if this is confusing lmaooo)
Shrimpo on the other hand is sooo touch starved like SOOOO touch starved. they have many many issues and i also imagine that they were kinda disregarded/treated like shit by the toon handlers and also other ppl due to his role in the show. Also another pretty common hc but i imagine that bc of her species they have to drink more water than other toons but they were never??? told for some reason?????? speaking to how little they actually cared for shrimpo.,, anyway while gardenview was still active she was told to drink water but they viewed it more as the toon handlers just asking him to do stuff for no reason since you know. they were never told WHY and also he was given so little affection in general that sh ejust became really touch starved and got the impression that no one likes him and hes only there as a joke WHICH TO BE FAIR. IS PARTIALLY TRUE. so now hes just kinda worries that he HAS to be mean otherwise he will be literally forgotten by EVERYONE since he just. doesnt think he has any other defining characteristics (i actually think she does have many hobbies and talents/skills but she doesnt think shes as good as any of the other toons making him disregard any of those talents entirely) (the main intrest i have for him is writing but liek i just said he has intrests in like a zillion other things too) (am i projecting WHO KNOWSSSSSSSSSSSSS)
(ok for this paragraph i only used she/her for shrimpo and he/him for cosmo to hopefully make it less confusing)
So for their relationship would probably be literally the best thing to happen to shrimpo since cosmo is THERE for her to give her the affection she never got to get, to comfort her which is a thing shes never had before,, she couldnt even take a complement without assuming its a joke at first and now she has someone to support her to care for her,,, like almost a hurt/comfort kinda trope??????
Cosmo i think would probably have suspected she was hurting a long time ago like maybe even before gardenview shut down but once he KNEW he was hurting he wanted to help him,, and the experience is healing for them both bc cosmo kinda feels liek its his purpose to heal people and to be sprouts companion (BOO ANOTHER COMMON HEADCANON) but shrimpo has experienced thinking you only have one purpose before SO shes also there for HIM to let him know hes SO MUCH MORE than just a doctor,,,,,,,,,,, jkdbifjas so theyre there for EACH OTHER so SUPPORT EACH OTHER TOGETHER!!,!! and also its a reather common hc that while cosmo IS nice he is also very very polite so he wont rlly insult anyone but shrimpo is almost like the opposite so cosmo can teach shrimpo patience while shrimpo can teach cosmo that its ok to not neccisarily be polite about everythigns and to let ppl know when ur at ur limit :3 if you know what i mean,,,,,, ndifsiofbisan they can be SO GOOD together theyre such an underrated ship
i mostly just did lines bc its rlly annoying to use custom colors on chome canvas,, after u exit they dont save,, mspaint has kinda the same problem but w chrome canvas its just rlly annoying to use only the default palette lmao (they have mostly rlly desaturated colors and they dont have orange at all, or pink and maybe purple idk i forgot maybe they did have ourple..) but to save space i did mostly use the same 4 (?) custom colors in combination w the default ones (like the red for the tailfin is a defaule red, and finns blue is a default color) but the brown is a custom brown bc the only brown they had was like reallllllyyyy desaturated, its actually the one i used on that head in the center if u compare it to the one on the other colored shrimpo (or cosmo bc i used the same brown) its basically grey
