dandys world question, do you ever wonder abt how the hell their internal anatomy works???? like.... do you think they have little skeletons or organs in there?? bc they *can* eat so its like. tiny stomachs??? i got in a discussion abt toon anatomy and dw lore and remembered your toon creation hcs, so i figured id ask what you think :3
(hi this kinda got away from me I started to ramble. short and Actual Answer:)I don’t think they have skeletons or organs unless for a joke :] it’s rule of funny. or maybe rule of visual interest
(the ramble:) toons are very. transient (?) I think. they only have what is visually necessary. if they have a skeleton or organs it’s just to illustrate a point (like being electrocuted showing their skeleton or their heart literally beating out of their chest, visual gags like that !) otherwise it’s not necessary and they aren’t bound by rules regarding those things. a toon could get injured wirh a cartoony bump on their head and a bandage but a scene or two later they’re perfectly fine again, bc it’s just not necessary information anymore if that makes sense. there is this sense of an unseen fourth-wall audience that they abide by, even if the humans on scene With Them aren’t part of the joke Or the audience. I don’t think they make complete physical sense given that they’re living drawings and not biological meat and bone and dna. they are literally man made horrors sillies beyond analytical comprehension JDNSJSJJS
i think if they eat food it’s just gone ! I think toons don’t even actually Need to eat :]c vee talks about not being able to eat bc she’s (a toon of) A Robot (probably? they talk about updating her but for the time being I’m not under the impression she’s an Actual Robot, just a toon designed to be robot and therefore having robot qualities)(I mean she can actually only be as smart as arthur and/or delilah bc They Made Her, I don’t think she actually has the knowledge a computer would have like they make her out to be, given she thinks strawberries are berries HXNSNHSHS. also rodger presumably eats but we don’t know How given his lack of mouth. but he does ! it is because he is a cartoon and Don’t Worry About It.
(losing the plot of what was being asked) also about the food thing, I’ve been thinking about lately are these game abstractions. vee Says she can’t eat/drink but playing her you can use the candies/sodas anyway, connie Says she doesn’t read at all but you can use the manual playing her, finn Says he only drinks water but playing him you can drink sodas. i don’t think the toons can actually die to the twisteds i think of that as a game abstraction, I think being able to do a run of All The Same Toon is a game abstraction
(not even talking about dandys world anymore) also I think there’s something scary as fuck to the idea of toons and their Unseen Audience, I’ve brought up this before but like in who framed roger rabbit and eddie is trying to saw through the handcuffs so roger slips his hand out of the cuff to hold the box steady. “you mean to tell me you could’ve done that at any time?” “not at any time! only when it was funny!” eddie was not laughing. the joke was not For eddie. they are the only two people in the room. roger could only do that bc it was to make Us the Audience laugh. eddie has no sense of this audience. does roger. ontologically speaking, a fourth wall joke at your expense(you didn’t find it funny) that only worked Becuase it was funny(you are the only two in the room)(you didn’t find it funny) when This Is Real Life To You. There Is No Audience. is that not actually kinda scary as fuck. living in a world where toons exist alongside you in every day life, do they prove the existence of god or multiverse theory or simulation theory or some other shit. don’t worry about it. it’s just for a laugh
