Updates, right here, right now!

Officially quitting blushcrunch updates.

[Plain text: Officially quitting blushcrunch updates]

Due to this entire situation, I will no longer be providing the service of this update blog, as that is essentially free pr, and I am leaving their discord, so I couldn't provide the service even if I wanted to.

rox and qwel hurt a lot of people, both through action and inaction, and then they both handled the situation horribly. It was a let down to the community, and more importantly, it was a let down to every victim affected by this. This is something that cannot be reversed.

Running this blog was fun. I liked having something to do, and I liked helping the community, even if half of it was you guys sending me obvious questions and poorly faked screenshots /lh /aff.

It was a nice learning experience for me too. I don't think I'm ever running an update blog again. It was certainly work.

I say before showing you guys my probably more work-intensive project lmao.

I hope everyone here finds a game out there that they love just as much, and end up being actually able to see through to the end! Sorry to those who wanted to see dw finished, and to flavor frenzy fans who haven't gotten ANYTHING about the game in 2 years. And probably never will. What a way to kill a game.

The fate of this blog

[Plain text: The fate of this blog]

As it has been over a week since this all came out, and there has been no response from Qwel, (along with the very damning document posted of collected testimonies), I am choosing to quit my "job" of providing updates to people who are unable/don't want to use the discord. I will no longer provide free help to a creator who did something like this.

This blog will remain up for two months while I archive every post here to a new blog, where everything will hopefully stay preserved. All of this will be tagged "Blushcrunch finale" for those who need to block it when scrolling through the archive.

Archive: @blushcrunch-updates-archive

After two months, I will delete this blog, along with Dandy's world updates. It's sad to see this go, considering I put time and effort into this, but it's for the best.

I don't know what I'm doing with Blushy. I want to keep her, but it feels almost wrong to do so. I'll figure it out.

The man behind the blog

[Plain text: The man behind the blog]

My name is Leviathan, but you can just call me Levi if it suits your fancy better. I go by he/they/it pronouns. I only used any for anonymity. I started this blog May 6th, 2025, on a whim, sharing the new skin. Pebble with a fried egg on his head.

I run @serpentesol, but I'd like only people 15+ to go there as I am a horror artist. I mean it. I will block people. If you are under 15, and/or want to support my project, go to my designated dandy's world blog, @shroominthegarden and @toons-left-behind-au.

The project I was talking about

[Plain text: The project I was talking about]

Toons left behind, or TLB for short, is a vote driven choose your own adventure, heavily inspired by The Walking Dead cyoa game. (I MISS LEE AND CLEM.) It follows the stories of various toons who get left behind by the elevator, and end up trapped down below. Will the make their way up, or will they fall to the twisted infested floors below? It's up to you to decide.

It's an au, simply because I also started slightly rewriting dandy's world. I filled in some gaps of story that we didn't have quite yet in the official canon of dw, and I made some stuff up too. Explanation of the things I changed is in the pinned.

It would mean the world to me if you guys checked out the project, and actually play it when I finish drawing the tutorial. This project is extremely community driven, as I need actual people to vote to progress the story. Tlb is on my mind a lot, so getting it out there and testing my project skills on something real would be nice for once. If you are interested, I ask you to KEEP PESTERING ME ABOUT IT. I have adhd and keep getting side tracked. If you want to see it, hop in my asks and tell me to keep working on it.

I'll let you guys know if anything else happens in the discord though, or if I'm going to discontinue this.

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.

Rundown under cut.

Twisted finn also likes to play with the new machine type! A swimmy barnaby minigame! The difficulty is effected by your skillcheck level, and collecting coins is equivalent to getting a great skillcheck. Hitting an obstacle fails the machine, in which you will have to start extracting again.

Have fun! Also totw stuff:

Some more changelogs!

Also while I was Iding this, Qwel posted a new video, so. Here you go.

Among all of the changes here, I did notice a couple implications in the changelogs that are making me thing. Now, this is JUST speculation, do NOT take this as fact.

Joey specifying "Ichor machines" has me thinking that new, non ichor machines are soon to come. And "true liquid form" for the ichor physics also feels like some lore implications.

Ah, thank you so much!!!! This is very helpful!

New short!

April Devlog! Compiled everything below cut.

Qwel is going to show up at Lvl up expo! Someone tell me how tall this guy is if you go!

Alsp, cosplay meet up on april 26th!
