Remnants of Buddy Bublik (Showdown Showtime AU)

(I'll get to the cover eventually)
Warning for dark themes such as illness, death, and body horror(but it's wooden marionettes).
Also Warning for much less dark themes such as shipping. I just. I cannot do SDST content without the ships. Forgive me.

"Every puppet, Has... A story." Buddy chuckled as he spoke to the microphone.
"You see, Even though you don't see it, They really do have a story. Amazing ones, Tragic ones, Ones to warm your heart..
I want Showdown Valley to have a wonderful story that stretches among all the characters, With colorful places and characters to catch the young eye and lovable characters to draw people in. Even then, Not all the characters are going to be perfect.
Even the best people have issues, And I.. I really think the diverse cast will teach people important things."

Buddy Bublik passed away at the age of 36 from a mysterious illness, And with his passing, The beloved show Showdown Bandit fell into the shadows as it was canceled.
Years later, The studio is in disrepair and yet something stirs in the old workshop of Buddy Bublik.
A little puppet named Buddy holds the soul, voice and mind of the man of the same name, But not the memories.
Will Buddy get his memories back, Or will he stay a completely different person forever? How will the others react to this after their creator left them for years?
Only time will tell.

WHAT?? WHAT'S THIS?? AN AU OF AN AU? HOW STRANGE, HOW UNNATURAL!
All jokes aside, Bendy won't be in this one because as much as I'd love a Buddy + Bendy interaction I just cannot do it.
Showdown Bandit belongs to Kindly Beast.
This story will contain OCs. Lots, And Lots, Of OCs.
