Hello! I just would like to say that the opinions and thoughts you write especially making sketches of your au were really awesome and I would like to see more of them!
And honestly they are very fun to read and a source to come to whenever needed
Side note : i also loved the purple Dyle sketch series that you did soooo much! And I do wonder... what will happen to him in your au since you once mentioned a lot of bad things will happen to him at some point....
Which...Will he be ok after all of it? And Does he support or take part in the Ichor Operations in your au? (Out of curiosity cause hearing a lot about it and showing that Dyle is holding from the toons from escaping Garden view... which I heavily couldn't agree on though)
OUGH thank yoU glad to see that other people liked this au like I do!!! Also happy you liked the purple dyles!!!!! Those were really fun for me to do!! Maybe I'll post one more purple dyle since I have one drawing of him i never posted
As for Dyle regarding the au, I suppose you could say he TECHNICALLY has part in the ichor operation?? Just not as a willing participate. The whole ichor operation in my au was still a work in progress. What I had was kind of more of a concept (although i did know for certain i wanted dyle to suffer) that i kind of struggled with since with such a name like that, it sounds like something that should be super big and dramatic. But since i probably wont end up completely refining my au because of the recent controversy, I'll just spit out what i had in mind:
Dandy had already found himself becoming more distanced from the other toons because of the fact they were adjusting more to the shutdown than he was. This led to the toons acting more out of character and sort of just moving on from the show. Because of how much Dandy clung on to the past, both the real and the fabricated one put in his head, he ended up wanting to do something about it. The ichor operation was meant to change the toons into acting more like how theyre "supposed" to be. He made his first test subject Dyle because of how Dyle has a lot more distance from the other toons so SURELY no one would notice if anything went wrong...
This led to the creation of contaminated ichor, which he forced onto Dyle. Because Dyle was never in the show, there wasnt much to work off of so Dandy just aimed to try to make him more aggressive and rude since he doesnt like that Dyle seems to get more attention than he does (he was hoping it would make him even more unapproachable)
For a while, nothing seemed to happen, although Dyle wasnt entirely convinced that he was completely fine. Because contaminated ichor tends to bring out the worst in toons and amplifies their sorrows and conflicts, Dyle did find himself spiraling more into his feelings of jealousy of Dandy. He continued to keep to himself and self isolated a lot more, which obviously only made him worse. It led to him twisting. The only reason the contaminated ichor spread further was because Dandy went to check up on Dyle and since that stuff was smeared everywhere, Dandy ended up coming into contact with it. That leads to him twisting at some point, he kills his dog—i dont need to explain how it continued to spread further lol
I'd say despite the agony of his skin rapidly getting torn apart when he twists repeatedly, he probably does end up okay in the end. He can only struggle against the ichor for so long until he completely succumbs. As long as someone notices that hes gone-gone, he'll get revived and he wont have to suffer through that again
