ABSOLUTELY LOVE UR ART BTW! I was curious on how you draw CatNap?

Hes a very sharp and skrunkly lil guy

Hi!

So um I think my last ask might have not gone through so second times the charm! Was there a reason in the smiling critters cartoon to include the photo of dogday hugging catnap? was it just background or was it setting the stage for the betrayal of catnap hurting dogday

That's all thanks and I hope you have a great day! :>

I think she likes the wuggies

Here's a Huggy doodle I did lol

(look at da happy boi)

Oh my god the toys are cooking

Dead serious when I say I'd like the Smiling Critters a loooooooot more if they didn't get this weird sub-fandom

God I have nothing against the Smiling Critters as characters and like yeah they're decently cute but wow I'm getting a little tired of them being the ONLY thing in the tag. Especially when half of it's just shipping and whatnot. Good lird.

How it feels being in this fandom post-Smiling Critters while being into the backstory/lore and mystery/horror stuff

I am demanding love and respect for myself and the three other original poppy playtime fans on this fucking app. Everyone switched up so fast on it and it's ANNOYING. Can I get an amen for my pals.

Sorry for lack of art was focusing on owed stuff. Take some OC sketches

1. Channel 00

2. Bittergiggle and Witty Wormble

3. Nathaniel Schaeffer

4. ShowHost, Lead, Pterry, Motley

what if instead they were called joyous fellows

Do you remember the time when everything was so safe.?

If I'm wrong about the toys not aging thing that's a-okay, but also I have to always take my chance to argue (/lh)!! I had thought I saw that a dev confirmed it, but I don't actually have a screenshot or anything on hand so if I'm wrong... Oops... My bad!

As far as the cutout thing goes, I don't think the voices of the cutouts matter too much when it comes to the living toys. I think the cutouts (and by extension the voices) are JUST the cartoon character the toy is based on and, in-universe, have nothing to do with the BBI toys. For example, Huggy has a cutout that has a goofy cartoony voice, but the BBI Huggy doesn't seem to talk at all. I think the voice just belongs to the character the toy is based on in-universe, not the experiments, so they can't really be used as a gauge of aging in my opinion.

Additionally, this is just a more personal take, but I think it also just makes more sense for the toys to not age. If the scientists' goal is to cheat death (it seems), why make something that'll grow old and die?

CW // Talk of nonspecific and fantasy child abuse/parentification

So I know some people were a bit shaken-up by the reveal that Mommy Long Legs - and many of the other toys - were made from and continue to be children (suggested in Chapter 3 ARG then explicitly confirmed in the official PPT Discord), but I actually feel like there's some interesting commentary to be made here.

I believe that this is intended to be commentary on parentification as a form of abuse, as a lot of Poppy Playtime's themes center on harm done to children. These children are taken and - quite literally, through human experimentation - forced into playing parental roles towards the other kids, halting their own ability to just be a kid themselves. This fits the bill for parentification, which, to my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong!), is especially common in some orphanages, where many older kids are made to step up and play parent for the younger ones.

As the toys also don't age after becoming toys, it feels like that could be commentary on how abuse such as parentification prevents kids from maturing in "normal" and expected ways. "Normal" is relative, of course, but abuse certainly does often throw a wrench in natural development.

I find the way kids being turned into toys works is pretty interesting in Poppy Playtime from a narrative and thematic perspective. It's definitely jarring to learn many, if not all, of these big toys, some of which play parental roles such as Mommy Long Legs, are essentially children, but it feels like a unique and interesting take on the subject of child abuse that also doesn't feel inappropriate or lacking in tact in my opinion.
