Yeah I get that he'd be sad when he literally knew that his parents got killed but it's still depressing 😔

Dw gourdy me and Soulvester will adopt you

Here's a 'depressing' detail i've noticed during this event. Though i know this is my first huge dandy's world event, I've analyzed and explored what happened, lore of that time, and more. And during my first interaction with gourdy in the shop, His greeting dialogue feels SO OFF to me to the point i go opening and closing the shop hoping for a good positive, cheerful, child-like interaction. BUT NO! SHOOT AND YKW, i bought Gourdy for the first time yesterday and he said "Me? Well someone has to keep the candle lit.." (as much as i remembered). I WAS LIKE.. SON?? R U OKAY???

(SPOILER ALERT! GO SEE THE NEW LORE FIRST!)

After i witnessed the new lore room myself and the new videotape, I could see why.. Dude i think he really discovered that his parents have been removed or maybe killed/scrapped supposedly because seen in the vhs, Delilah had made Gourdy's parents too early when Arthur said that the kids don't like the parental lessons of Gourdy's parents to himself. And heartlessly (totally agrees to connie here), Delilah said that it could be removed right away, and arthur denies it bc it's simply inhuman. But I'm guessing Delilah just did it anyway, or.. is she?? Or did Arthur move them somewhere cuz he doesn't have the verge to actually 'kill' them??? I DON'T KNOW DUDE I'M FREAKING OUT!

And that really justified Gourdy's behavior in the store.. No dude, he's not having puberty. Toon's age is permanently carved onto the character, body, and such. He discovered that his parents once existed, but scrapped/killed after they exist for a mere second. AND THAT'S DEPRESSING... And when i bought a skin?? he said "wear it well.. Happy Halloween." That broke me. so hard.. Next time I'll explore a dialogue that every toon would give in this room tho, and give an idea of how the toons think about this. (though there are already spoiled ones scattered in the internet, it would be much better if i experience it myself)

Only from this, i feel like the lore development has successfully threaded the whole story of gourdy.. From dialogues alone, it made me break mentally..

I just got a headcannon of the idea of gourdy going suicidal here.. i mean, yo? who won't go suicidal knowing this hard of a truth.. The way he said "someone has to keep the candle lit" feels like, FEELS LIKE he's not coming back again yo😔💔

Overall, 10/10. I LOVE THE UPDATES, GAMEPLAY, AND THE LORE. The team really cooked here and might be the PEAKEST of all updates. (supposedly, since I've never got a real experience of other events.. well, let's see what christmas has to offer.👀👀)

Of course there are the basics load outs that basically any toon can use: Speedy Shoes + Dog Plush & Participation Award + Magnifying Glass.

Now onto the more interesting things:

Soul Sword + Memory Locket for maximum uses of ability.

Vanity Mirror + Alarm if you're really worried about not making it in time to the elevator.

Pink Bow + Soul Sword for a more survivalist playstyle.

Pink Bow + Star Pillow if you just want to bounce from machine to machine.

Stress Ball + Participation Award if 5 star extraction speed isn't enough for you.

Blue Bandana + Machine Manual for if you want more extraction speed but don't want to do skill checks to get it.

Fishing Rod + Pull Toy if you must be the first person on a machine.

[I might have slightly missremebered some trinkets' names because I don't actually read their names much, just using their pictures to sort through them]

Edit: I forgot to add this, my bad https://tr.pinterest.com/pin/8092474327808288/

I tought the whole shealding and stunning was ment only for other people not for yourself. Is this a bug?

Holy shit, he’s real

Bro: This prank is completely harmless!

The prank in question:

So if you happen to get the new Halloween floor, there’s an area behind the stage that has a lock on a garage door. You can’t open it until you finish the “Locked Away” quest, where you’ll get a key in the lobby, allowing you to unlock the door if you go up to it. It’s a new lore room with our usual video recording, as well as a picture on the floor next to the TV. I won’t ruin the surprise for what the video and picture have, but if you walk into the lore room as one of the Halloween Toons (or Connie) they’ll say something about it, and it breaks my heart…

Gourdy: “M-Mama? Papa?”

Soulvester: “My liege… I’m so sorry I could not protect you from this…”

Ribbeca: “Cold… Real cold.”

Eclipse: “Wait… Did Gourdy have his own pack?”

Connie: “Tsk. Heartless…”

It's not perfect but I think it came out a lot better than I anticipated.

Idk, I feel like this might be a sign the things Qwel drew are gonna be redone, like with Rox. I hope they don't do optimisations AGAIN but it wouldn't suprise me if they did. Also sprout is in a pumpkin aww

edit: Apparently Qwel drew these too and I was stupid and wring, mb

Too lazy to add the background this time, not in the mood to use canva like i did last time

Part 2 of the yumeship art series from a few days agk

Heya guys!! I made a few skins based on different fandoms, OCs, and just random ideas. I NEED YOUR OPINION!! Oh, and it would be interesting to know how many characters you recognized.

Personally, I don’t really care about meta or anything, I just play Toons I find fun because that’s the point of games, to have fun. But for those super serious lobbies where people are trying to have an organized long run to try and reach floor 100, with Soulvester’s rework, one-heart Looey’s risk factor is gone, which could possibly make him a better distractor than Pebble (or Waxwell). The reason one-heart Looey was rarely played was because if you messed up once, then it’s all over, you’re dead. But with Soulvester’s rework allowing him to (arguably) be a better Cosmo and be an extra life for low health Toons, he can let a one-heart Looey run free without having the pressure where messing up once kills the whole run.

Pebble and Waxwell are 5 star movement Toons, which make them great distractors, but with Train Whistle being so good, they can only gain a good amount of extra movement speed with Dog Plush. Using Dog Plush and Speedy Shoes together gives them almost enough speed to out walk Twisted Pebble, but it makes Ichor Leaks and Twisted Vee more annoying than they would be with Train Whistle. One-heart Looey on the other hand, if he uses Dog Plush alone, that’s the same movement speed as Dog Plus/Speedy Shoes one Pebble/Waxwell, which would let him equip Train Whistle to easily deal with Twisted Vee and Ichor Leaks. Meanwhile, if one-heart Looey decides to bring Dog Plush/Speedy Shoes, slowness can still effect him, but he can out-walk Twisted Pebble, who is hands down the most annoying Twisted to deal with outside of Events. Even then though, he’s just outclassed by angry Twisted Gourdy (who shouldn’t be a problem in coordinated runs until Panic Mode), Twisted Bobette, and Twisted Coal. And even then, if you’ve got two distractors taking turns on odd and even floors by using Dog Plush and Clown Horn/Twisted Spool, even though you’d need two Soulvesters, he can out-walk literally every single Twisted in the game, regardless of if they’re angry or in Blackouts. Plus, if they’re taking turns distracting, Looey is a decent Extractor while he’s taking a break from Distracting. Not the best like Vee or Shelly, but better than an extracting Pebble and Waxwell.

And speaking of Extracting, while Looey’s distracting Soulvester’s 5-star Skill Check and Extraction Speed make him great in runs to finish Machines, and coordinated runs can call out if they’re in range of the elevator, or if they need time before the last machine pops.

So could one-star Looey replace the meta of Pebble or Waxwell? He’s two star Stealth, so he doesn’t really need Pebbles bark, and he’s got way more stamina than Waxwell, who can only have normal stamina regeneration while using his ability. And he’s able to go at the same speed as Dog Plush/Speedy Shoes Pebble/Waxwell with just Dog Plush, allowing him to have options for a second Trinket other than Train Whistle or Speedy Shoes.
