I want to clean this up and make it "pixel art", not "photoshop art". How do I clean up this entire piece without having to spend a fucking week doing it?
Note I already indexed it to limit the palette. It just doesn't look like PIXEL art.
Hire someone to do it for you.
Make the dithering more uniform, like a pattern. And also introduce more contrast and vary the hue in your values, I think it's called color ramp. I am not really into pixel art but I think one way to separate pixel art from "art made without AA and with a limited palette" is to really think of where each pixel is placed. Like if you move one pixel 1 px to the left it should have a large impact of the entire image.

just redo it as pixel art, won't take long, just grid it up

yeah it's only 814x353 pixels, just grind it out senpai!

Looks like a big robot penis

the grid wouldn't be 1 pixel lol

It's way too high res

Try using filters to posterize it in Photoshop. Also, that Mosaic filter.
Alternatively, try this:

Then go in, and tweak things by hand.
I've never tried it personally, but I imagine that'd be a way to go about it.
it'd read as pixel art if scaled up in a game. quite gorgeous, op, if you did that.
Is that a penis???
