Shrimpo Gets an Important Vocabulary Lesson, or: Sadhika the Shrimpo Wrangler and the Time She Almost Got Fired

[chann3l-chas3r]

Excerpt from 'The Handler's Guide To Shrimpo':

32.) Shrimpo is not allowed in any kitchen area, especially the Diner kitchen.

Addendum 32-A: For all intents and purposes, please assume any physical altercations between Sprout and Shrimpo were started by Shrimpo.

Addendum 32-B: Sprout has been given a novelty-sized Shrimp Peeler as a deterrent. It appears to be working for now.

Addendum 32-C: Sprout has been equipped with backup Shrimp Peelers in the event that Shrimpo steals / hides / breaks them.

Addendum 32-D: No, the Shrimp Peeler would not actually work. Shrimpo is not aware of this. Do not inform him.

33.) Shrimpo is not allowed access to any remote control whatsoever. We don't know how he linked them to Vee's head but if he changes her face to South Park in the middle of a Game Show event one more time we're gonna get sued by the FCC.

34.) Rules are difficult to enforce with Shrimpo. It is now mandatory to use the Calm-Down Corner as time-out in the event of misbehavior.

Addendum 34-A: See list of items Shrimpo is no longer allowed to have while in Calm-Down Corner.

Addendum 34-B: Any holes knocked into walls of Calm-Down Corner are to be repaired by Shrimpo with oversight from Maintenance Department.

Addendum 34-C: If Calm-Down Corner does not work, staff are allowed to utilize the 'jail cage' prop from S2 Ep15.

Addendum 34-D: Staff are NOT to refer to the 'jail cage' prop as 'Shrimp Prison'. It is unprofessional.

35.) The Social Media department now has a subset of employees monitoring potential Shrimpo activity. Please be advised the Shrimpo can and will steal phones at any available opportunity and is good at guessing passcodes.

Addendum 35-A: Shrimpo has been given a phone with parental controls, and access to a single social-media site on the condition he stops stealing employee and visitor phones. All posts must be approved by current Shrimpo Handler.

Addendum 35-B: Phone has been jailbroken to remove 'emergency mode' so that Shripmo may no longer prank-call 911.

36.) Shrimpo is now allowed to curse backstage on the condition that he stops ruining takes by randomly inserting 'fuck', 'bitch', etc., in places he finds funny. Handlers are allowed to use discretion on how much cursing will be considered too much and are allowed to use Section 34 enforcement methods if Shrimpo gets carried away.

Do you have any thoughts on Finn, or a design for him?? :3

I ask purely bc he's my fave and I LOVE your artstyle and depictions of the toons.

Finn is quite the guy and there's a LOT to speculate on with his character purely bc we get so little about him. We know he's respectful and likes jokes. That's pretty much all we got for him.

He also has one of the most interesting twisteds (imo) bc I like to wonder how that rlly .. happened I suppose? Like, dude lost his legs. He's one of the most physically damaged twisteds and I love seeing people's HCs for how that happened.

Sorry for the rambling hehe I just really like this dude

Finn is adorable and I love his goofy puns! I hadn't drawn him yet so I scribbled up some stuff:

My headcanon for the Toons in general is that they're these sort of... robot-golem-things, for lack of a better term, so I try to think about how they'd be built.

Any Toon with a glass 'face'--Rodger, Glisten, Poppy, and Finn--has the face projected instead of it being a physical thing. (This does unfortunately mean that they don't get to enjoy eating food; they have to refuel directly with ichor and sugar-water.)

This is also because it just makes it easier to draw them with transparent parts; if Finn had, like, actual eyeballs, you'd be able to see the backs of them and the mechanical bits inside his head. Kids probably wouldn't like that lol

The primary reason Gardenview was so bent on him having a transparent head as an important design feature was so he could display actual fish in them while giving lessons. He'd scoop one up, stick it in his head, and go around letting the kids get a closer view.

Finn also has a gyroscope in him that helps him keep his head level. His neck is also particularly flexible for this reason, so he doesn't tip and spill water everywhere all the time or potentially spill a fish.

I like to think that when Gardenview was active he had his own section of the facility that was a mini-aquarium! One of the parts of this was a pet-pool with starfish and horseshoe crabs, things like that. He also had a saltwater aquarium in his room that he personally took care of!

Every critter in the facility had a name (given by himself), and Finn helped the aquarium-keepers care for them where they'd let him. He knew every individual critter well enough to know each of their personalities!

When Finn and the others woke up in an empty-shut-down Gardenview, all of the tanks were empty, and he's pretty heartbroken over this. That's why Barnaby is so important to him, the fish is a comfort-object for him since all his real fish are gone.

My take on Twisteds is that they're not the actual Toons, but instead faulty, broken clones made by the device that repairs them. They do, however, actually contain slivers of each Toon's anima--that is, their mind/soul. The clones mostly have negative memories and emotions.

Twisted-Finn's body is so messed up because of this. While Finn's head is made of transparent glass, his body is made of opaque plexiglass plates covering his endoskeleton. And, well, glass can be broken and broken aquarium glass is not exactly good for the fish inside.

So broken tanks and polluted water feature in his form as a broken body and ichorous 'water' that gets everywhere and hurts whatever it touches.

Last little bit: Since every Toon was made with a specific purpose and base personality, they all have certain things they're near-compelled to do. Finn's fish puns is actually one of these things; it's less of an active decision and more of a verbal tic.
