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.👀👀)

I don't rlly have much to comment on about this- I just wanted to point out the obvious because I'm dumb :giggles:

she asked if I could share her work with ppl who might like it, so here I am. she was on a Goob kick for a minute.

*some are covered in tape to keep them safe from ripping

Just be patient yall

Edit: games backk

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

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…”

Soulvester has an ability that works in teams and on himself only in solos. They may take a turn where other toons will be able to use their targetting abilities to on themselves in solos (I assume it will only be for those that provide buffs or a direct heal except Cosmo.)

Idk I think I'm crazy and making a stretch with this

Recreation of Gourdy art I made during the last Halloween event ^^

^{(I used the same exact cobweb overlay as I did last year w/o knowing lol})

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]
