It's that post talking about pretending to be an angel on earth who gets to experience the wonders of humanity thru a human body instead of as an angel. It's not like a story it's an example of way of being in an perceiving the world that the poster employs to help them feel joy

“No harm in being a Handy Ram as well as a Candy Ram!”

“One of the Sweetest Guests to come out of the Neighborhood, Andie Sweethearts is always around to lend a helpful hand! This courteous candied ram spreads her warm-hearted nature by assisting fellow neighbors with their everyday task. With a laid-back attitude and a pep in their step, You better stop by to say ‘Hi’ before she’s gone again!”

Andie was the sweetest ram in town, often housing with Poppy when they would swing by for visits. Information on them is scattered as the character never seemed to fully escape the concept stages. Despite appearing in a fair chunk of media, her role and design always seemed inconsistent. Originally being an active part of the Welcome Home Neighborhood, after some time passed there was the creative move to have her faded out with only allotting some special appearance when the show called for it. 

Andie was always willing to help around the neighborhood, oftentimes being found at Howdy’s Shop assisting him with business or even at the post office helping Eddie with packages. In addition, they seem to enjoy photography, taking snapshots of the adventures around the neighborhood. Her backstory gets kind of muddy as there were often changes to who they were close with, who told them what, and where they’re always leaving off too. 

Outside of being on the sidelines of some of the characters' segments, it's not really known their contribution to the cast. Their puppet was more of a walk-around puppet, being only a bit shorter than Barnaby and Howdy. Despite her scarcity later in the show, she would still make appearances in merchandise and some storybooks, each design differing from the last in subtle ways whether it be horn-shape, nose-shape, color pattern, or other minor changes.

Hello, Hello! This is Andie Sweethearts, my Welcome home sona/oc. I wanted to join the puppet fun and design something for the series. Late for the party, but here for it nonetheless. Their description pretty much covers everything as I was trying to do what the website does, but the idea for her is that she’s a character that was never finalized, and thus has a tendency of seeming… off. In the puppet world, this translates more into changes in appearance, but also heavy memory issues as there always seems to be something missing that they can’t remember. The neighbors who are closer to her try to help jog her memory but there is the un-doubtable feeling of there just being gaps in a memory that should be there. With other member’s memories starting to get blurry, it becomes all the more difficult. Photography often helps, but looking at pictures of your last visits and noticing drastic changes of someone who is supposed to be you, poses a different problem…

Thus we get our horror and angst~

Anyways this is a self-ship and on my self-shipping blog, I like the caterpillar. I think he’s neat, and the idea of him over time trying to help his crush- I MEAN CO-WORKER, with her memory gaps, is just the kinda drama I can live for. As of writing this we don’t know much about what horrors Howdy is bound to face so figured I’d share Andie’s with him.

They're dweebs
