Aka "I had fun writing the long slender mansion posts that I wanted to do something similar with other fandoms
Note that requests are still limited to 3-4 characters max
Notes: reader is gn, toon reader, vague what the readers interests are unless implied otherwise for a character, you're freshly baked, pre game, no pebble or coal, you came around Christmas for the holiday toons anyone else can be any time of year, platonic for everyone since you're brand spanking new, long post, written on mobile, couldn't tag everyone but everyone is here minus pebble and coal
CWs: none
DANDY
He's probably the first one to greet you, honestly. He's like... THE toon. The show is named after him, he's the poster boy after all!
Surely he won't be at least a little annoyed that someone already beat him to the punch.... right...? Right??
He's a very busy toon, not only is he a main but he's also again, THE main. Getting to talk to him for more than a minute while there's visitors is nearly impossible... but he'll be sure to drop by your room for a hello once everything calms down for the day! ...maybe...
ASTRO
It's not that he's overstimated- mostly- it's just that he's tired by the time the day is over with... so it'll take him a while to approach you to welcome you... and he may seem out of it if you approach before he's ready
He's nice! A little accidentally... distant.. but he truly is happy to see a new toon added to gardenviews lineup. Who wouldn't be happy to have a new potential friend?
Ignore how he's seemingly nodding off where he stands... ts not that you're boring. He's simply a little sleepy...! You'll have to get used to that..!
VEE
Oh cool, a new toon. She's not going to be all over you but she's not going to ignore you if you come say hi. Small talk before she's swept away by the visitors.. or you're snatched away
If you seem like the smart type she might just invite you onto her show... she's not usually so quick to let someone on but what the hell! Who wouldn't want a new face to spice things up!
She is quick to set some boundaries up of you're pushing buttons or pose any risk to her techy bits
SHELLY
She doesn't let the fact you didn't notice her at first effect her... at least not outwardly. She's more forgiving in this instance anyways, you did just arrive afterall
Gives you a nice welcome- she's just happy to have someone new to talk to... if you ever want to have a nice camera hang out she's your girl to go to..! Just.. don't forget that she's just a call away..!
There's more time to talk to her during the day due to her being not as popular as the other Mains :( or even some of the non mains...
SPROUT
Oh heeeeeeeey you! He's probably already heard about you! If not from another toon than through one of the handlers!
He's not gonna be all over you but he's at least going to make you feel welcome enough- at least a normal amount of welcoming! He doesn't strike me as the type to be overly buddy buddy with a new toon just because they've just come out of.... wherever the toons are made...
He does seem to perk up a little if you express an interest in the ktichen... common ground can go far!
BOXTEN
It takes him a minute to approach you... he's gotta work himself up to it- he's not the boldest toon out there.. and he seems a little proud of himself that he didn't stumble over his words...! He will be overthinking his first impression later that night though...
The fact you're getting swarmed also puts him off a little... it's just so many people- it's overwhelming. Makes him wonder how he pulled through the initial hype when he was new.. silently sympathizes with you- tried to quietly give you reassurance from across the room but the voice in the back of his mind tries to tell him it looks like he's mocking you
He doesn't really talk.. not really a rambler either, especially with an acquaintance... but he does take note of any questions you have and tries to direct you to who could possibly help you once it becomes clear that he might not be the best fit
BRIGHTNEY
Her light burns a little brighter when she catches a glimpse of you... she didn't think she'd be seeing you so soon!
Wastes no time in walecoming you to gardenview, and hardly any time to bring up the boom club to see if you're interested... if you are, great! If not, that's okay!
If you ever need a hand to keep track of what you need to do and how things work around here she's more than happy to draw up a list for you and give you a hand where she can!
CONNIE
Oh she probably knows about you already... she's sneaky like that...! She's just trying to get a feel for your vibe before revealing herself. Totally. Definitely. Mhm!
She can't help herself- it's always so fun spooking new toons who don't know about her ability yet- she doesn't mean to be.. well, mean..! It's just funny!
She's got like... details on everyone! She's your gal to go for some gossip or to figure out what everyone else's deal with... though she may be biased against/for some toons so it's best to do your probing yourself to form your own opinions...
COSMO
He doesn't carry Boxtens shyness so he is more likely to approach you within a shorter time frame if you end up in the same area! He may trip over his words but that's just because he wants to make a good impression..!
If you ever need a little pick me up you can find him in the kitchen! Alongside Sprout and maybe Boxten-- and if it's the holidays ginger too...! It's a real nice place to hang out that's not too overstimulating-!
Similar to Boxten he will attempt to guide you to anyone who could help you with anything- except he's likely to physically bring you to someone or someone to you than simply... telling
FINN
Bold of you to assume he's not going to open up with a joke. "OH it's so nice to sea you," he'd wave but he wasn't sure if you'd he able to see him over the stream of visitors!
If you can bare through his constant puns he's actually not that bad. He's nice. Passionate about his interests- and of course he's going to be asking about yours!
Moderate popularity with the visitors so you can hang around and talk to him when you're not getting swarmed. He does share a good laugh about it with you- you'll get used to the attention... or find your footing once the hype dies
FLUTTER
Oh she's right by your side the second it looks like you need a breather from the swarm of visitors- you can come decompress with her until you need to get back out there..!
She's kind... a good listener. You're not sure how you can understand her when she's yet to speak a single word but you feel she's already been questioned about that a lot.. you don't want to possibly pester her with it
She lingers around you until closing to help you get through the day and the sea of visitors!
GIGI
She's friendly..! Really she is..! It's just that freshly baked toons can sometimes be fun to mess with... and she's taken a page out of Connie's book... she's not going to be a bully but she won't be able to help herself- telling you that you should totally do (x) which definitely won't make you look at least a little silly
You... might want to keep an eye on your belongings. She's usually not mean enough to nab someone else's things... maybe.. but by God the episode where she had to learn that lesson only slightly shook that habit
If you don't meet her through Connie, you'll be introduced to Connie through Gigi... as well as some other toons!
GLISTEN
Hes.. nice enough! Sure he may be... well himself.. but he's not going to ignore you if you approach him for help... though he is just a hint envious of the crowd you've made for yourself- but he's not going to fault you for it. Makes him miss the days where he was brand new and had all the attention
He's at least a little interested in finding out what your deal is... even if he's waiting to properly introduce himself- and he's definitely going to make a little show of it to make sure you don't forget his name!
Not intense.. but he does mellow out over the next few times you bump into each other once the desire to impress the newbie backs off a bit
GOOB
He's like an excited puppy when you meet each other! A new toon! Yay! A new friend, hopefully?
He's very physical- he doesn't mean to make you uncomfortable... if he is making you uneasy just say the word and he'll back off! He's not the best with subtle cues...
Oh oh oh you've gotta come with him to go meet his sister! Oh oh and you've gotta meet- you're going to meet so many toons through him...
LOOEY
Oh! New guy (/gender neutral)! He... actually doesn't lean into the clown act during an introduction. At least he doesn't rely on it- he definitely slips in a few jokes here and there if there's time but he's more focused on getting names exchanged and overall having a quick chat before he needs to go back to performing with the rest of his circus act
He's more than happy to let you come watch those acts! It'll give you a place to unwind after such a busy day! Or... if something calmer is more your style, he'll direct you to other toons
Generally a sweetheart- his cheerful demeanor comes in handy when meeting someone new- child and toon alike!
RAZZLE & DAZZLE
POPPY
Wastes zero time in introducing herself- even if you don't end up being friends in the future she's going to make sure you at least have fun on your first day
She introduces you to other toons as you come across them- she's real... bubbly. Pun only partly intended! She's going to make sure you meet just about everyone- or as many toons as possible!
And of course, she makes it clear that you're always welcome to come hang out with her and her group of gals- she'll make sure to put in a good word for you!
Similar reactions different energies! Razzle is more upbeat and open to talking. He tends to take the lead... not that he doesnt let dazzle speak of course. Dazzle also greets you! He's just lower energy
You're always welcome to their stage... or their room... if you express an interest in stories or books, Dazzle may tell you about Brightneys book club! Maybe he can help you get in... will be embarrassed if you tell him you already knew about the club
You do end up making a lot of friends through each of them- they both have their own groups of friends so double the introductions!
RODGER
A warm and polite welcome! He may ask a few questions... ice breakers mostly... and also because, well... you know...
You may or may not be spared from an interrogation- really it depends on how guarded you are with new people... and what all is going on at the moment- hes not the most popular toon but you're new... you're definitely going to be swarmed until the hype dies down
You... get the feeling it's going to be hard to keep secrets to yourself for long with him around... maybe... surely he'd respect boundaries and privacy (he does!) (At least he fully does when there's no mystery that may or may not put others in danger)
SHRIMPO
SCRAPS
She's not as... excitable or cheerful as her brother. She's definitely still cheery but she's more reserved about it. If you need a break from the visitors she can try to snag some away with the promise of arts and crafts so you're not all smothered
Arts and crafts is actually a gold way to open up to someone- a great ice breaker activity! So of course she's also going to invite you to come make something alongside her brother and toodles! It's a nice wind down activity after closing and before bedtime
Give her some time and she'll make you a welcome gift!
You hardly get a word in before he yells at you that he hates you already... you unfortunately don't know that that's his whole... thing.. so you don't know not to take it to heart or to not be confused
No like seriously what did you do you hardly introduced yourself- he cut you off after the first word... did you look at him wrong??
You quickly find out that he's just a hater, though... he's very open about his hatred for everything
TEAGAN
It doesn't take long at all for her to invite you to have some tea with her once the day calms down and all the visitors have left... it's all to get to know you better and make you feel more comfortable!
If you're comfortable with it, they will invite more toons... it'll give you a chance to get to know more of them! But if not... Teagans more than happy to just have it be the two of you
So so kind and patient with you as you get the hang of how everything works. If you ever need someone to talk to as you adjust to gardenview she's more than happy to let you vent to them
TOODLES
TISHA
It's not that she meant to ignore you... it's just that sometimes the visitors can be a little... messy... and it drives her nuts! But rest assured she will make it right once gardenview closes for the day and everything is cleaned up- and with Tishas speed and efficiency it won't take long after closing for her to stop by your new room!
Pleased that your room is- at least for now as you've yet to have a proper chance to make it a living space- neat and tidy... if you ever need a hand with things let her know... she'll at least let you know where the cleaning supplies are
You quickly pick up on a lot of tricks to get stains out and keep everything looking spick n span... Tisha is more than a little proud of herself that she's rubbed off on you
She's another easy one to get along with! There aren't many toons that Toodles outright dislikes or doesn't get along with
Talks... a lot... but that's to be expected from a kid.
You learn everything and nothing. The kid who's got dirt on everyone but doesn't have the mind to realize that it's dirt. Drops it randomly in conversation and moves on to something else like it was nothing... it's a little funny..
BOBETTE
Wastes no time at all in trying to become your friend- what's your favorite color? Music? When did you join Gardenview? What's your gimmick? She wants to know!
She's definitely gonna give you an extra gift this year for Christmas! Think of it as a "welcome to Gardenview!" Housewarming style gift! She WILL be watching you like a hawk to figure out what you like... as well as lightly interrogating everyone else for ideas
Genuinely so easy to befriend her. Not very judgy, very cheerful.. come decorate with her
GINGER
Oh... shy... she's shy... she doesn't avoid you but the first few conversations with you is... dry. Awkward. She really doesn't mean to make it that way it's just that she wasn't expecting to meet a new toon after being taken out of... where ever they keep the holiday toons
Not to mention you have a limited time to get her to warm up to you before having to put things on hold until next year... she really does try to befriend you or at least get to know you...!
Come join her with Cosmo and Sprout in the kitchen! You don't even have to bake..! You can help her decorate..! She becomes a ramblerer if you get her talking about an interest!
RUDIE
It's a Christmas miracle! A new toon has arrived! And he's definitely going to treat you like a gift... even if you were added to the toon roster before Christmas..
Not that he'd care all that much, a miracle is a miracle! And he's going to make sure you know his beliefs! Overall a joy to talk to even if he's caught up in the holidays
He is a little sad when he has to leave when the holidays end, but he promises he'll come talk to you the second he can again! He'll tell you all about what he did when he was away! Not much happens, but...!
cw: possible mischaracterization, first time writing for listed characters, favoritism.
proofread:
a/n: not a big brightney fan because of her severe lack of personality but i probably wont botch her part. i dont like how flutters muteness is handled so in my works it'll be a bit different, although it probably won't go into depth in this post.
Brightney
Could go both ways, but you likely beat her to it because she's a bit overworked.
Not too hard to get close with her, try looking out for her and making her life a bit easier through small acts of service and she'll be down bad.
When you confess to her, she's momentarily surprised.
She doesn't wait more than a moment before saying she likes you back.
She does warn you that she might not be able to spend as much time with you as she'd like to.
If you're certain that wont be an issue she'll be happy to plan out a date when she's free.
Her probable date choices are movie night, reading together, or simply relaxing together in any way.
in the future most of your quality time will likely be after the activities of the day have died down and everyone is retired to their rooms.
Flutter
Depending how much you understand her odd way of communication, she might not be able to confess to you properly.
Even if you have a difficult time picking up on her silent words, it isn't too hard to get close to her so long as you have Gigi or Connie around to fill the communication gap.
When you do confess to her, she will quite literally backflip in excitement.
She'll fly up close enough that you're being mildly fanned by her wings and nod her head in reciprocation.
If you're one of the toons who easily pick up on her unexplainable silent messages then planning a date will be easy.
If you have a more difficult time deciphering the words you may need to find someone to help you out. You'll need to work on your understanding later though, because it will definitely irritate her sometimes.
Her probable date choices are a sleepover, flying you up somewhere to hang out, or having you help her pull off some kind of crazy stunt.
If she lets you pet her at any point do not make any cheesy comments, lest you lose petting privileges forever.
Teagan
Could definitely go both ways, but with her playing therapist/parent for everyone you'll probably beat them to it.
It takes some extra effort to get really close with them, mainly because she assumes at the beginning that you're only hanging around her for guidance/help.
Once you show that you want to help them as well and you genuinely care for her she'll fall hard.
When you do confess to them, she's definitely a bit surprised.
They'll sweetly admit that they like you as well.
She might honestly beat you to asking for a date.
Their probable date choices are a classic date over food, a nice 2 person tea party, or an evening to late night chill hangout.
She's definitely more for the calm and classic dates, but they're actually quite willing to go along with your own ideas even if you have more energetic ones.
a/n: i feel like this one is a bit bland but its probably because 2 of these characters are usually caught up in their own stuff and don't have a lot of personality outside that. regardless, in the future they'll probably develop personality in my writing through headcanons and personal interpretation.
This took a while, heh. Sorry for the wait in regards of stories, writer's block has arrived at Destination Me.
Not sure if I'll do the rest of the characters, feeling pretty down. Maybe someday.
(Reader is the costume designer for the toons. The names above each paragraph of writing are the names of certain skins in the game.)
Boxten: âCloudy Dreamâ
âAlmostâŚalmostâŚthere!â
You sat up to lean back and look over your work.The prettiest shade of lavender dripped from a small paintbrush you held, a can of white as well close by.
âOkay, we can let it dry, and then you can take the tarp off. Donât want your clothes to get paint on them too.â
He reached up gingerly to pat his face down as he normally would, but you grabbed his hand quickly, forcing it away.
âBoxtenâŚâ
âSorry, sorry! Itâs a habitâŚâ
Poppy: âSapphire Dotsâ
âYouâre sure this isn't a bit tacky?â
âI donât care if it's tacky, what matters is Iâm wearing it, and Iâm proud!â
âBeing proud doesnât hide a poor sense of fashion.â
âY/N!!!â
Tisha: âLavender Maidâ
âAnd to top it all offâŚâ
You brought out the item from behind your back and gave it to her.
âA brand new feather duster!â
She gasped in delight, and gently put it down, then hugged you.
âOh my goodness, thank you so much! The old one I had was getting so dirty, and I can't really wash stuff like thatâŚâ
âHehe, Iâm excited to see you use it! Have fun!â
Finn: âPrismatic Palâ
âMORE SHINE! MORE!!â
âFINN THIS IS GETTING TO BE TOO MUCH-â
âTHEREâS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH SHINE, I WANT TO LOOK LIKE THE SUN!!!!â
âFINN YOUâRE ALREADY TOO BRIGHT FOR ME TO LOOK AT!!â
Razzle And Dazzle: âSeafoamâ
âYouâre doing a lot for us, you know. (Are you sure?)â
âYes Iâm sure! Besides, if you guys are going to perform sometime, youâll need different outfits, right?â
âSheâs got a point!â â(Alright thenâŚbut at least make it something simple.)â
âAw, okay then. How does a mix of greens sound?â
âIt won't be something like yellow-green, will it? (YuckâŚ)â
âNope, more like turquoise.â
âOooh, Iâm excited to see how it looks! (Sounds prettyâŚ)â
Cosmo: âCaramel Drizzleâ
âI thought that maybe because you and Sprout are friends, you guys could have matching outfits! Whaddya say?â
âReally? Oh, yes please! Thatâs very sweet of you to think of usâŚâ
âItâs not much really. Here, can you turn around so I can adjust your apron?â
Cosmo patiently did as you said, waiting as you secured the warm orange bow around his back. He only turned around again under your gentle pulling motions so you could smooth out his apron.
âAndâŚthis might be a bit hot, but please bear with me. Itâs caramel after all.â
You took the bottle from the stand next to you, making a quick drizzle motion so it lined perfectly on top of his head.
You poured a little sauce on your hand to dab on his cheeks, then wiped your hands off and leaned down to get the perfect angle to place the stars in, sticking your tongue out as you worked.
He didnât tear up or hiss at how hot it is though, he seemed to let out a sigh andâŚmelt?
âŚHe actually looked pretty content.
âWarmâŚâ
I guess that confirms it.
Flutter: âVibrant Monarchâ
âBe still, Iâm almost done.â
Flutter nervously flapped her wings, slapping you in the face every so often and nearly knocking you out of your chair.
âPlease Flutter, the paint will be blurry and wonât look good if you keep moving.â
â...!!!â
âI know you donât like standing, but you need to right now! You can fly all you want when Iâm done.â
â...!â
âThank you.â
She lightly tapped the floor with her foot as if testing the waters, flinching every so often, before she set both feet on the ground and stood stiffly, anxiously waiting for you to finish.
Goob: âSpecial Spaghettiâ
âI want to commit cannibalism on myself.â
âWhat-â
Goob: âFun Partygoerâ
âOoooooh, I get a party hat too??â
âYes you do Goob, let- let me- adjust it please-! Please stOp BOunCIng!â
âSorry, Iâm just so excited to see how I look!â
âI get it I get it, but pleas-!â
The party hat crumpled under a particularly high jump.
â...â
â...â
You sat down, head in your hands and started crying.
âWAIT NONONO Y/N I-!â
Glisten: âWarm Sweaterâ
(Based off my opinion! I love blue and white, but THE MAKEUP RAAAAA-)
âI still think the eyeshadow is a bit much.â
âWell, I donât!â
âBut you say you look good no matter what you wear, rightâŚ?â
â...YesâŚâ
âSo you shouldnât have a problem with no eyeshadow because itâll look just as good!â
âBut I- you-!â
âEnd of conversation.â
(Glisten somehow convinced you to give him back his makeup)
Gigi: âRainy Dayâ
âBut I donât waaaaaannaaaaa!â
âGigi, itâs still an oversized sweater. Youâre basically just changing the color of it and adding some drawstrings, okay?â
âNooooooooooâŚbutâŚb-butâŚâ
âYeah I know what a butt is, you have one yourself. Now give me thatââ
You yanked the sweater out of her hands, cutting yourself off as you stumbled back, ââThank you!â
Quickly checking for rips and finding nothing, you let out a sigh of relief, then immediately raised your hand in the air to avoid her grabbing ones.
âNooooooo, gimme it back!â
You sighed again, walking over to the dresserâwell, as best you could with a whiny Gigi trying to trip youâ and pulled out a yellow sweater with a hood.
Placing her old clothes on a high shelf so she couldnât reach it, you turned and picked her up, setting her down to sit on the edge of the dresser and pulled the yellow sweater over her head.
Her crying instantly stopped and she snuggled down into it, content. You let out another(sheâs a handful to deal with) sigh and sat down next to her, petting her head.
Sprout: âSalted Caramelâ
âAnd youâre sure that youâll be fine?â
âYes, Y/n! Now just do it!â
You hesitantly poured the bucket of caramel on him, covering half of his face bit by bit while also making sure not to get the petals wet.
You let out a sigh of relief as the last drop dripped from the container, making a quiet plip sound as it joined the rest of the warm sauce.
The rest of it settled on the tarp below, collecting in a puddle that stained his feet orange. Youâd have to clean him later.
He reached up a hand, messing with the caramel on his face before you slapped his hand away.
âNo! Iâll have to put a new coating on you if you mess with it.â
He simply chuckled in response, âNot like Iâd mind.â
Vee: âCosmic Signalâ
You sighed in relief as you checked over her mic, making sure there werenât any scratches.
âOkayâŚfinally done. Oof, that took a lot out of me.â
âI can tell. Making 25 different costumes that actually look good isnât exactly an easy job.â
