Dandys world fandom is wrong about shellevision
So, im pretty fucking sick and tired of ppl in dw community calling ShellyXVee/Shellevison/Shellvision/Historychannel whatever you call it, not making sense or "yurislop". So i'm here to ACTUALLY analise this ship and debunk some misinfo about it.
Misinfo no.1 - "Vee hates/dislikes Shelly!"
... Vee has shown no disliking or even annoyance in Shelly. All she did was just begin brutally honest. And while Shelly did express some form of sadness(?) or dissapointment, then Vee didn't meant to hurt Shelly intentionaly. Vee and Shelly have different way of communication, that contrast each other, so there is no shocker that Vee can come off as rude for Shelly or Shelly as annoying for Vee. But honestly, i don't see anything toxic in thier dialogues, it is just a normal convo between two toons that kinda, have different way of communication, but there's not anything HEAVILY toxic. "B-but in future and past poster Vee is shown to be uncomfortable with Shelly!" Well, i know that this might be more hc than actual canon, but i actually see that this is very much implied in the game. Vee seems to be VERY autism-coded, and not all but a lot of people that have autism (especialy these who are on this side of a spectrum that Vee seems to be in) dislike phsical touch. I assume, that Vee and Shelly - Future and Past, is the episode where they first met, Vee doesn't know Shelly well, Shelly doesn't know Vee well, this is thier first meeting. So Vee may be "uncomfy" with Shelly's energic nature at first, but they are going to get along (Im going to talk about the poster later btw, yes it is going to take a bigger role lmao). So in conclusion, NO. Vee does not hate Shelly, and at best, shes just annoyed by her (which i also can barely see-) these two just have different way of communication which can make thier dynamic kinda complicated. Speaking of the dynamic though-
Misinfo no.2 - "Shellevision has no dynamic!"/"Shelly and Vee have NO connection!"
So, this misinfo is kinda hard to debunk... Cause you need to look more into details to prove it wrong because there is still a lot of evidance that Shelly and Vee DO have dynamic, and this is something more than just them begin only female mains from the main series.
First evidance, is the poster. And i know that this damn community LOVES to treat this poster as totaly irrelevant and whenever someone is going to bring it up, they will say "Oh! But just because they have a poster, doesn't mean they're dating!" FIRST OF ALL YOU DUMBASS, nobody's saying that they're dating... AND SECOND OF ALL, that that they have poster DOES imply that they have dynamic. Qwel doesn't slap two fucking random characters, that supposedly have no connection and gives them a whole ass poster and episode. That wouldn't make sense. Almost always, when two or more toons get poster where they're together, these toons usually have some form of dynamic and were supposed to have dynamic. Lemme show you some examples to understand me better- Dandy and Astro have poster together cause they're best friends, Cosmo and Sprout (well- hes not there, but hes technicaly mentioned) have poster together cause they're also best friends, Toddles and Rodger have poster together cause they have father-daughter dynamic. Toons aren't getting poster based on absolutely nothing, they need to have dynamic. And if Shelly and Vee have poster together, then i don't think that this is added just for shits and giggles, it definitely implies something or maybe im just insane- And right now, you can say something like "Well, but what about holiday specials or argumentive woes?" Holiday specials don't really count, they are not really relevant to the main series. Especialy that event toons work differently than they work in the show. They are isolated most of the year and unless they have some relative from the main series, then they don't really have an opportunity to create a stronger bond with non-event toons. As for the argumentive woes- Shrimpo is the antagonist, Dandy is the protagonist, Astro is protagonist's friend, so it is more than obvious that these three are going to interact in the show.
Misinfo no.3 - "Vee doesn't care about Shelly!"/"Vee and Shelly are not friends!"/"Shellevision doesn't make sense!"
This misinfo is also pretty hard to debunk cause AGAIN, you need to look into the details... And- that this is not *exactly* a misinfo, but a headcanon that sadly a lot of ppl took as 100% canon- BUT! There is still a lot of proof to debunk it.
So a lot of people try to aruge, that Vee isn't friends with Shelly, nor does Vee see Shelly as her friend, because in thier dialogues, Vee is blunt towards her, but for example, in her dialogues with Astro or Brightney, she shows affection. While i could understand it at first, there is a one argument that debunks it- That is, that Vee doesn't need to be nice all the time to the toons/people she is friends with o_o For example Glisten. She is implied to be somehow friends with him, she agrees to help him with his mic. But still, she is sarcastic or even annoyed with him. Another example could be Veronica, maybe Vee doesn't exactly show any sort of bluntness or she isn't begin sarcastic with her, but around her handler she seems to have her usual attitude, doesn't mean that however, that Vee doesn't care about her, nor she doesn't show affection to her. I think that Vee does somehow care about Shelly, because its maybe just me, but i wouldn't ask some random ass person that i don't care about to help me (unless im some bitch that uses ppl, but Vee is not it). Maybe its just sometimes hard for Vee to get along with Shelly due to thier contrasting personalities.
Ok, so i kinda debunked the argument "Vee isn't friends with Shelly", so now i'll try to explain why Vee IS friends with Shelly. And my proof is, how they're potrayed in the show, but also how they're potrayed in general. Shelly and Vee are meant to contrast each other. Vee is blunt, tomboy-ish and sarcastic, she is very popular, she is based more on entertaiment, based on the poster, she represents future. Shelly is cheerful, "girly" and curious, she is ignored/forgotten, she is based more on education, based on the poster, she represents past. They even contrast eachother (as a past and future) in thier designs, Vee is a TV/robot, Shelly is a fossil. And even though they're opposites, i think like they are meant to get along with each other. (AND YES I AM GOING TO BRING THAT DAMN POSTER AGAIN CUZ I WANT TO PISS SHELLEVISION HATERS OFF BUT ALSO BC THIS POSTER IS RELEVANT). So in the poster Vee and Shelly - Future and Past, we can see Flutter and while i know that background characters in the posters don't really matter, and that Flutter could be placed here unintentionaly- I personaly don't think this is the case. In Flutter's intruduction card, theres written that she "spreads kind messages of friendship", so maybe that implies that Shelly and Vee ARE meant to be friends, or at least they menaged to get along in the episode. (Bc yk, friendship is in the air/jkjkjkjk). Another proof may be the show itself. The show teaches about friendship and platonic relationships in general, so maybe the moral of Future and Past episode was - "Even though we can be different, it doesn't mean that we can't be friends". FRIENDS, all of this implies that Shelly and Vee ARE FRIENDS- But ok, i know that these are all just theories based on "maybe this" "what if that", but i think if you will look deeper into some context clues, everything is going to make more sense now. And all of these theories i have DO make sense.
But ok, maybe let me explain now how shellevision DOES make sense.
So shellevision makes sense more dynamic-wise than lore-wise, cause based on that what i've written ealier, they are somewhat implied to be friends, but still all of this are just ifs and maybies based on some context clues. BUT, shellevision makes sense dynamic-wise, they're obviously very popular opposites-attract troupe. But they're not just pure opposites, there are still some key similarities between them, gameplay-wise they're good extractors, despite having personality traits that can push others away (Vee - arrogance Shelly - begin unintentionaly annoying about her intrests) they still try to help others and support them, and the most important one are thier fears and insecurities. Shelly is deemed to be an annoying, bland easily forgettable toon, so she is ignored by others. Shelly ofc afriad of it, she seeks attention, love and care, she is afraid of begin left-behind and neglected. Vee has not exactly the same, but very similar fears. Vee is afraid to be seen as "outdated", begin seen as just her code/a machine that needs to be "upgraded". She is afraid of people not loving her, begin seen as boring, begin neglected. She also seeks attention and love. Shelly and Vee can relate to one another, understand thier feelings and fears. Everything that Vee fears is something that Shelly expirianced, and everything that happened to Shelly is something that Vee fears. I mentoined that Vee and Shelly represent past and future right? So there is a pretty popular proverb that goes "History repeats itself", which means that human behaviors, our mistakes are rarely learnt from the past which leads into similar events in the future. To simplify this- basicaly if something that happened in the past, something similar can happen in future- We can apply this to Shelly and Vee and say "That what happened to Shelly(past) which is begin ignored and not loved by others cause of begin seen as bland, can happen to Vee (future)."
Actually, when i look at it, Bassie can also relate to Shelly and Vee's insecurities and fears. Because all (maybe except Bobbete) of the main girl toons seem to be strangely similar for some reason. They're afriad to be not loved, not wanted, ignored, begin seen as bland, outdated, not enough, replacable.
In conclusion. This community simply lacks media literacy and cannot see anything beyond things that are shoved in our faces. That's why shellevision is deemed to be "yurislop", but not bc the ship really does lack dynamic, but bc y'all cannot look at the details and try to analise them.
Sorry for any typos and if this analysis is kinda chaotic, but i hope you will understand what im saying
Bye
(sigh, maybe i will analise moonflower next-)
Shellevision theory/headcanon cause I haven't talked about my girls for a while lol
So, Shelly and Vee, despite thier differences between each other, are meant to get along and be friends together, after all, the show teaches about friendships and i think like the lesson from Future and Past episode was "even though we can be different, we still can be friends" and Vee and Shelly are meant to represent this. However as we know, real life is not a cartoon, and our favorite shitty writer Arthur, wrote Shelly and Vee to be SO different from each other that in irl universe that its very hard for them to get along and have become very distanced from one another. However there's still one thing that they both have in common, fear of begin not loved and ignored.
Doomed yuri ahh
yes i play loomian legacy @q-uzi hey
whoever that was i'm so sorry
the phrase 'eekum bookum' is stuck in my head i don't remember where it came from uziel come pick up your shellvision if vee actually did that her spine would've been ripped out from her ass
