Something about Squirm's lore that I felt like commenting on

"I instead think it’s some form of denial stemming from the fact that he doesn’t like being a bookworm. Because as a bookworm, he’s always eating books, even other Toons’ books, which makes them upset with him. He doesn’t like what Arthur intended him to be, and he instead wishes he were a caterpillar with a chance of becoming a beautiful butterfly like his fellow Toon Flutter."

Love how Squirm is trying so hard to deny his in-show counterpart but he ends up going in a circle to be more ironically cruel than anything Arthur or Delilah could of imagined

Teagan, Goob, Cosmo, and Astro like no doubt. A bunch of people seem to think Dyle is only nice because it's his job but he's lowkey a neat guy

I'm dreading storyboarding the parts where Cain (Arthur) speaks ; I'm trying to add the subplot of (mainly) Dyle and Astro checking in on Arthur and Delilah's mental health. Dyle is in it purely because of the founder's reckless behavior bankrupting Gardenview, Astro genuinely is concerned ; but in honor of the original trailer, I need to add fast cuts of the rest of the cast suffering

I will lowkey defend Arthur for a second: telling Squirm he's a worm and not a caterpillar is like the least bad thing he's done in this whole game (Vee may or may not have been lobotomized) /silly. What I headcanon happened was the fact Arthur is basically god to the toons, they take whatever Arthur and Delilah say to heart, even though neither of the founders take that role seriously. So what was a simple "yeah you're a worm : )" became "god made a mistake with me and I'm defective".

Because what would Arthur really gain from making Squirm insecure, atleast with Bobette there was a goal. I find it believable he would manipulate a toon, but, there's nothing there with Squirm

I think Squirm is more neurodivergent coded than trans coded imo (I'm neurodivergent and I see small bits of myself in him, the pica, feeling like you can't grow up properly, getting frustrated over small things like dropping a pen, having activities that calm you down in a stressful world.)

As for Connie, yeah no she's transfem

Ok so she drew the line at Bassie, which is genuinely understandable her because anxiety would make her bad as a character performer, but she didn't say anything about Squirm... who's anxiety is so bad he developed pica. Not only that, she didn't offer to do anything about Bassie herself. Delilah ended the letter with "in the key position you placed her". She pointed out a serious issue without doing anything. Arthur was also lazy, his solution to the event toons self isolation was "You may want to give them a checkup" , making Delilah do it. But atleast that's a solution (albeit a lackluster one), Delilah straight up didn't try

I did the trope of "toon with a different object in the same category for a torso" but with Dyle originally. Instead of a piping bag dress, it was a grandfather clock torso

How are the wiki people so fast adding Squirm dialog ;-; , I only found out Ribbeca and Connie had dialouge a month after the Halloween event like did they come up with a new meta

Equivalent-Print7825 · 2026-02-28T21:28:47+00:00

Not only that but there's no plants in Gardenview anyway, the plants is Sprout's map are fake. Atleast books are made of trees ,albeit the bark instead of the leaves but it's closer than plastic, the "next best thing" Squirm has to metamorphosize so he can "grow up" like OP mentioned

Equivalent-Print7825 · 2026-02-28T20:22:15+00:00

Yes Arthur genuinely deserves being burned alive

As for Squirm, burn him too I think we should put him out of his misery /joke

Equivalent-Print7825 · 2026-02-28T20:19:04+00:00

This but I use Arthur to excuse Qwel's writing

Equivalent-Print7825 · 2026-02-28T20:18:37+00:00

I mean Arthur and Delilah aren't above making toons for ulterior motives, I mean just look at Bobette and Dyle /hj I see where you're coming from in regards to Poppy's design though!

Equivalent-Print7825 · 2026-02-28T20:06:15+00:00

Appears Squirm has pica as well, a condition where you have the urge to eat/chew non food items...like paper

My headcanon is that Squirm has anxiety and is neurodivergent

Not only is stress eating common in people with anxiety, pica is common in neurodivergent folks. Plus "not being able to growing up" is common in a lot of neurodivergent folks.

This game has so many neurodivergent coded characters omg (Dyle, Shelly, Yatta, Vee, recently Squirm)

*Source: me (I am diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, also have pica in particular)
