Twisted Shelly - Blog Posts

I just realized I never posted my redesign of Shelly and a concept for her twisted! Here you go :}

She’s an Allosaurus!!

AU Announcement! 🌺

Meet Shelly! 🐚🍂

Thank you, Dandy’s World, for giving me brainrot 😭

She’s part of what I’m going to fittingly call my Dino Shelly AU, in which Shelly is half-transformed and constantly in danger of slipping into the mindset of a Twisted. Her mutation has already broken her body and her mind may follow close behind.

This post is chunky so read more if you wish, or just enjoy my gal! :)

Now, in case you’re wondering why her bottom half is hidden, that’s because it looks like this:

(This is a slightly earlier design for her so some details are a lil different hehe)

So what happened to her?

(Warning: mentions of paralysis, mental illness and addiction)

No one remembered her during the panic timer and the doors banged shut without her

She was left to rot in the factory floor and was attacked by the roaming twisteds

Her spine was snapped and she became paralysed from the waist down

Unable to move and desperate to alleviate her pain somehow, she drank from the ichor machine she’d been backed up against

Ichor sated her hunger but also caused a serious addiction to the substance

Constant exposure to ichor caused her lower body to try and heal itself, but her mitosis was so confused it picked the wrong DNA

Dinosaurs go rawr 🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖

Shelly’s personality is still relatively the same, but thanks to her mutation, she has become much more primal and survival-minded, with her survival typically involving either ichor or Vee, who was the one to eventually rescue her. Shelly’s memory is also extremely poor and she is easily triggered by the sound of cracks or splinters.

(End of warning)

In this AU I think that the toons all get their life force from their trinket, which now multipurposes as the object the toons are based as :) eg. Glisten isn’t an actual mirror anymore but he’s decorated with glass

I don’t know if I’ll design any of the other toons with the same human style but I’m good with the cartoon aesthetic so, here’s half-toon Shelly :)

Regarding Vee’s Involvement 📺🎤

Damn you toxic Shellevision…

Still working this out but I think Vee is both the reason Shelly was left behind and the reason she was recovered at all. At the time, Vee was sort of dealing with a petty frustration over Shelly’s crush on her, and out of spite argued that no one should go back to check after the panic timer. And it took a lot of overnight existentialising and self-hate to change her mind.

“If you hadn’t been so stupid and bitter in the moment, her spine wouldn’t have broken.”

I think she would’ve either found Shelly or sought her out during a solo run, been crippled with guilt, and brought her back to mixed reactions.

Shelly doesn’t acknowledge Vee’s past dislike for her. She’s buried the memory.

Cause Vee came back for her, right?

So surely she loves her this time?

spoilers she changed her mind and now has to live with the guilt for the rest of her life

“You’re not as bad as the others say you are.”

Will clean up later! For now, D I N O S A U R

IM MAKING A DANDY’S WORLD AU

Hello for those who don’t know me I’m Caleb I like to write and draw and I decided to make a Dandy’s world AU that I told my friend @qibsichan about

The AU is gonna be called “The Twisted Verse” and insted of the charaters becoming twisted they will have diffrent resistance and diffent effects form the Iqore.

Shelly for example will be more like her old self around Vee is she is a twisted because Shelly X Vee is peak .

Yes that means they can be like there old self under diffrent conditions.

I’m not gonna revile everything I have planned but I will say the world itself will become more and more twisted and corrupted as the stroy gose on and the deeper the story gets.

I will be posting this to AO3 when I write is it’s gonna take a bit as I have work pushing me to my limits because of Christmas rush m

Anyway I hope you all doing well and I will see you all later
