hello! welcome to my dandy's world sideblog! i mostly post my art here and my thoughts; i'm just having fun here. i use (free) ibis paint and clip studio paint to draw!
all art is free to use anywhere; for icons, headers, edits, etc. no credit needed but appreciated! :-)
i tend to delete/private my own text posts because it makes the blog feel cluttered — if you see a post disappear, that's why!

Here is the document. I read through as much as I could of it. It's very concise, and I would recommend you read it if you can.

I think it's very safe to say I am quitting. Even if qwel does end up taking the good route and getting legal action taken against rox, it's clear that it will be shallow. She doesn't seem to care for her actions, only her consequences.
She has been dismissive and rude of victims, and has repeatedly avoided taking actions against rox. It's clear that she is not someone to be supported.
I'll start the process of archiving this blog, and my resignation + who am I post will be posted later today.
I will pin this post and keep my asks open for general questions, or for you all to ask me to search something up on the discord if you still need. My main discord will be pulled soon, but I will still keep my alt in, just in case she posts a message there.
First, I want to apologize to you, I should have told you about this when I first found out, but my own nerves and processing have gotten in the way of that. This isn’t a post I want to make, but I know a lot of you come here for your dandy’s world news, and it’s my responsibility to keep you updated on things like this.
There is sufficient evidence Qwel was aware of Rox being a groomer as easily as 2021, and the both of them have been grooming and manipulating their staff.

As of yet, Qwel has yet to make a statement or even acknowledge what’s happening, but considering she has a habit of trying to ignore hints that reflect badly on her, I’m sure her suddenly going MIA isn’t a coincidence.
I know it’s a lot to process and I’m sure you feel powerless, but let’s start with what we can do.
1. Start putting pressure on Qwel. The comments for the YouTube channel and TikTok comments are still open. Let her know that she needs to acknowledge what’s happening. That being said, no insults, no threats, nothing like that. Not because she needs to be treated gently, but I know people like her, and behavior like that is only going to make her feel like what she’s doing now is justified
2. No financially supporting the game. That means no buying game passes, no merch, no ichor. If she won’t act like she cares about the fanbase, then we gotta start hitting her where it hurts, her wallet.
3. Do what you can to support the victims. Obviously you shouldn’t push yourself beyond what you can handle, but believe what they say, spread the word around. It takes a lot of courage to speak out, and we need to show up when they do.
From what I can tell the victims, at least Joji, are fine with people still engaging with the community and making fan content, as long as it doesn’t financially support Qwel. I don’t know what that means for you, I can’t decide that for you, and I don’t want to. But I can’t in good conscience pretend nothing is happening and not at least try to use whatever power I have to sway folks away from buying things in game.
What does that mean for this blog? I don’t know. I’d like to keep updating the board, but I worry at this point it would be more of an advertisement for the game itself. You guys might me see more of my general nonsense and of my plush, but if anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.
Finally, and this is very important. A lot of people are going to tell you otherwise a lot, and it’s going to feel true, but you’re not a bad person for having complex thoughts on a complex problem. You’re not a bad person for worrying about what’s going to happen to something you emotionally connected to. You’re not a bad person for being afraid of losing something that means a lot to you.
Hang in there, we’ll get through this. Talk to you soon.
