I always inagined the purple man to be dead almost. His skin is melinanated but also like colorless and ashy around the parts of the skin that usually have a lot of blood. I figure he is moreso like a limp puppet, able to teleport around but ultimatley unable to actually move his own body. Like golden freddy from fnaf. His eyes are all swirly because i thought itd be cooler then having smooth flesh or just empty eyesockets lol. Also the swirly patterns i think conpliment the carnival/circus aesthetic quite well. Thats also why his hair is pink and curly, it follows the theme of swirls or spirals and its colorful to make him seem more of an eccentruc ringmaster even though his personality doesnt fit with that eccentricity. The dummy i heavily referenced chimpanzees and monkeys. Hes a super wild card it seems, and hes super violent and quick to kill Rusty. I imagine he goes feral like monkeys are known to do. Hes super pale with a bunch of blood and blush in his face to further exhasperate that he is organic and not wood or plastic like noone describes. You can literally see his blood flowing in his face. Hes ginger just cause i thought it fit lol. His suit is supposed to be the opposite of the purple mans. Yellow being the opposite if purple but still with purple patterns to show that the two are connected. While the purple man accessorizes with the shoulder pads and tie and vest and stuff, the dummy has patterns to accessorize. Theyre supposed to be opposites but also partners. The purple man is almost silent, hes still, he doesnt like the spotlight, while the dummy is loud and angry and energetic and jealous of the performers. Both are supposed to be opposites that conpliment the other well. Also theyre gay and in love but are also in a super dysfunctional relationship. The dummy has an anxious attatchment style and the purple man has an avoidant attatchment style and theyre going to Otto for relationship counseling
