(flat colors + an infodump about the AU under cut)
The Twisted Fighting Ring AU is my take on "hey what if the twisted beefed w/ each other"
INFO:
In the AU, there's an additional founder of Gardenview named Crow. Crow worked closely with Delilah and Arthur to create the toons and what not, but Ichor was his idea.
After Gardenview shut down, Crow started sending the toons out on runs to go get Ichor via extracting the machines and whatnot. And when he learned that toons could turn Twisted, via what happened to Shelly(the sailor song animatic >)
(^ this animatic has a lot if you pay attention but dw about that)
-He decided to just make bank off of the fact that toons could turn Twisted. After Astros death, he cloned and recreated him, and decided to make him a little helper for everything he wanted to do.
Crow tore down one of the floors in the museum and made it into a place where he could pit the Twisteds against each other. Since Shelly was Twisted first, he makes her fight the most often, and she rarely loses.
Toons are typically able to turn back and forth from being Twisted or not, but Sprout is in a permanently half-twisted state(They are canonically semi-verbal.)
More info about the Toons relationships with each other and what not when I make more animatics. :3
Stay tuned everyone!
(have some bonus stuff that I've made for this au:)
