i love the idea of dw being a sesame street type edutainment puppet show, nd also i have all sorts of gripes with the very minimal lore we *do* know at this moment. i also dont like the idea of the toons being made of flesh it freaks me out so i . am turning them into puppets made of felt and stuffing except vee she is a robot

with dandy, i wanted to lean into him being more of a protagonist that children can project themselves onto, even if he himself is not a child. because this au is meant to be a puppet show rather than an animated cartoon, i leaned into the puppet aspect when thinking up their designs and you can definitely see it the most in dandys design. i also hate that his petals in game come from the sides of his head rather than the back of it like an actual flowers petals are. i dont like his bald spot it pisses me off so i fixed it

astro imo already has a very good design in game, really the only things that ever bug me are the star on his face, his blanket just being really short, and him not having anything covering his feet. i also dont really like how his blanket looks kind of like a towel in game because of the stripe on the end, so i switched it out for a trim around the edge ^_^ i added some texture to his face as well to make it look more moon-y

shelly also i think has a pretty solid design in comparison to other toons, and my design for her doesnt change much, though i did opt to give her a different dress because im not all too fond of the suspenders look, and of course i gave her shoes. i gave her a snaggle tooth as well because i think its cute [i have a snaggle tooth irl also ! so its like a little peice of me in a way]. i did mean to give her a tail as well but. i forgot ^_^;

i do not like vees in game design. i love it in concept, but it just falls short and looks weird to me. and i hate that she is fully naked but has a bowtie, which isnt even a very good color considering shes Entirely Green. i tried to lean more twoards tv host aestheics in her outfit, and i made her bow red rather than green to add a pop of color. i think her face looks like boss baby

im disabled and plural and queer [gender and otherwise] and mentally ill + delusional [actually really delusional as in i suffer from psychotic symptoms] and this does color how i view many things! and if u are ableist or transphobic or a bigot near me i will say something

i dont consider myself an avid selfshipper but i do selfship w mari anna from meleeniacs if that means anything to you or how u ineract with this blog!!! and there is a good chance i will post abt this here

dont talk to me abt proship or plural or queer discourse i care. listen to womens voices [trans women especially] and dont tell people to kill themselves over a fictional character that isnt real. i value real peoples wellbeing over the wellbeing of a fictional character because one is real and one is pixels. ill block u if i dont like u and i think u should do the same!! ^_^
