sigh... at this point Im gonna be known as the weird ranter who keeps yapping about cosmo. Watch me turn these into a video essay. Cosmo is a common toon in the game dandy's world, known for- well, Sprout. Fruitcake, being a healer WITH Sprout. Do you see what Im getting at? Even in his OWN description, it mentions SPROUT. His only skin? Matching with SPROUT. (Not to mention that there's rumours about a strawberry skin? Devs please stop digging.) His trinkets AND ability? Matching with SPROUT. His twisted? Matching with SPROUT. And just uhm yeah... the way the fandom treats Cosmo as if he has no personality if not relative to Sprout. So check yourself, and the wiki (currently all the fun facts are correct, just ignore the strawberry skin..) and learn about Cosmo as a character. One fun fact: he really likes space and stars! It's so obvious please spread the word. Oh and just incase this gets any attention: IT IS OKAY TO MAKE COSMO A FEMININE GUY. HE IS LITERALLY FEMININE AND CHANGING HIM TO BE MORE MASCULINE, CONFIDENT, TALLER, ETC. IS JUST CHANGING HIS ENTIRE CHARACTER. I GET WE HATE UWU FEMBOY COSMO BUT THIS IS STILL MISCHARACTERIZATION JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM. PLEASE STOP. (or at least acknowledge its ooc and that u don't actually appreciate who cosmo genuinely is as a character)
I said what I said
It's not really shocking information, people just don't like to point it out because they often partake in this. People will make Sprout some gorgeous majestic main toon and then depict Cosmo as some ugly Common?? Like you guy's genuinely add a power dynamic and its WEIRD. Or just literally drawing Cosmo to be "uglier" and not giving him personality. Like why does Sprout get literal hair and you strip Cosmo of his icing AND star freckles and basically just anything that makes him unique ? You can claim otherwise but when you look at an artist, or more specifically fruitcake artists work, you can tell whether they have a bias or not. And it HURTS my soul because its ALWAYS cosmo getting done dirty and then they claim they "love cosmo" Please do not name any artists, unless you wish to uplift them. I usually try to avoid fruitcake content because I am a die-hard Cosmo fan and yk, it's usually not suitable for us. But an artist on here that I ADORE that does both characters and their dynamic justice is @avosya also appreciate that cosmo actually looks good LOL
Cosmo! My favourite, and one of the most overlooked characters. I can genuinely not think of any other character that has been done so dirty by both the fandom and creators in Dandy's World and Im not even just being biased. So, in an attempt to clear these mischaracterizations and shed some light on Cosmo's true nature and character, I am making a Tumblr post. Yes it is 3 am and I'm too tired to do anything else. Cosmo... Is a very self-sacrificial person and it is so insanely obvious I am bewildered nobody is talking about this, but not really. Because it's so clear, just nobody has bothered to look into it or even comment on it. Nobody notices because they don't care to think about his character. Cosmo uses his own FLESH. His own flesh and blood- or I guess Ichor- to heal the other toons. He never worries about him being endangered or even if the other toons might waste his heal, instead he remains timid and unsure, worried about his own incompetency.
He doesn't even feel good or confident in his healing, all of his ability dialogues but a single one ending in '...' and Cosmo feeling as if he did something wrong. He's also a considerate person, his dialogue with Flutter, Astro, Finn, Ginger, showing that he takes the time to think about the other toon's and their situations. My favourite and the most obvious one being the Flutter dialogue. Not to mention his laughably gullible character that often gets overlooked because god forbid a cartoon non-human male carry feminine AND sensitive traits! Poor Finn, I bet he and Cosmo stood in awkward silence that whole elevator ride.
Another obvious and interesting fact about Cosmo is that he loves stars and space! It's been confirmed by Qwel that he enjoys to stargaze but it's not really shocking considering his name comes from COSMIC- yk, like SPACE? and STARS? And he literally has star freckles like c'mon it's right there in our faces. It's so glaringly evident and yes I'm running out of synonyms for obvious because I can't believe nobody knows this stuff! Yk why? Because people don't give two shits about a common toon that only exists to be a tool for Sprout, whether they mischaracterize him to be some uwu boy who can't do anything without his big strawberry boy or they make him into some big manly man with a moustache that has no issues at all with being confident and making snarky jokes.
Do you see the problem? God, I have to tag this with fruitcake otherwise nobody will care.
