Am I up at 12:40 writing about a cat and a dog discussing death? Yes. Yes I am. Damn you Melanie.
…so… the final plot idea for this section/book/part is done. I want to say quickly that I know it’s very tense and kind of scary and it looks like nothing can ever be happy again. I’ve gotten comments asking if this story will have a happy ending or not.
Smaller Bodies has a happy ending.
Like one of my pals from Chemical Weapon said: “If it’s not happy, it’s not the end.”
If you see a story simply titled “Death” or “A Question” or similar, now you know the story.
For those curious, heres the enamel pin design @qibsichan was talking about! I made it a while ago but I still like how it looks so if youd like i could sell this as a first!
Poll time!
Not Smaller Bodies-related BUT.
For context, this is a Monster High character from the 3D movie Freaky Fusion! She’s my favourite doll and was on my desk so I drew her!
The name Dracubecca comes how she’s a fusion of Draculaura and Robecca Steam. So, a steampunk vampire!
I know she only featured in one movie but gosh she’s my favourite design 🩷🩷🩷💙💙💙
MONSTER HIGH MOOTS WHERE YOU AT 👹👹👹👹👹
There's a new toy on board! Introducing BigNap! (Unless a more eloquent name is suggested!)
Sarificed for research and condemned to an unsustainable body, Theodore Grambell's old body has melted away at the hands of Miss Delight and Harley Sawyer. His mind has been reignited in a different vessel - one twelve feet tall and with the power to tear a school bus in half.
But it's alright, because while BigNap may be vengeful and venomous, he's quite the dear little kitty to those dang Smaller Bodies in the Playcare.
So much so that he's introduced in the very first chapter of Destroy-A-Toy! It's underway!
Now, Bigger Bodies Catnap's question is:
(He asks because his debut is in the very first story for DAT and therefore his formatting must be worked out.)
Big Catnap, as colloquially named by the Critters, children and teachers of the Playcare, is the new-and-improved replacement for that old, faulty thing who cried too much. He is twelve feet tall and an absolute tank - if you ignore the protruding ribcage and ominous growling stomach.
The same as the Catnap found in the original Poppy Playtime. Big Catnap is a large, scrawny creature with a protruding spinal chord and disconcerting slices of ribcage jutting from his paper-thin skin. His eyes are minuscule and set deep into mouth-like sockets. His fur is abyssal-dark felt soft to the touch.
Deep inside his throat, if one were to look, pipes could be found. Who knows what they produce?
Quiet, docile and allegedly "friend-shaped" (according to my friend Foxfire), this Catnap looks like he can kill you but is in fact a cinnamon roll. At least, to people he likes. Otherwise you can expect yourself to be on the plate.
BigNap is possessive over the Playcare children and loving towards toy experiments - but has a VERY strong hostility to humans. This is an issue because of the upcoming Toy Tour…
Theodore gasses the children not out of obligation but out of concern for their health and sleep.
A creature of this size requires LOTS of food. The problem is - he isn’t given the correct amount. Why drain resources for an experiment that may not survive anyway? As such, Big Catnap is constantly just one bite off from a full belly.
His tank possesses MUCH greater quantities of poppy gas - however, it’s watered down. The gas:
Takes up to 10 minutes to knock out children and 30 for adults
Does not leach oxygen
Works slowly but surely to lull the victim to sleep
This is NOT how Smaller Bodies Catnap works. Her smoke is quick-working and oppressive while this Catnap works much more as a calm, steady, peaceful lull to sleep.

THEM!! They're very squishy.
Outdated but
I know, I'm an excellent artist.
@calebtsm
No chicken? 🥺🥺🥺
Literally going crazy. @qibsichan
I wish I could draw/write more :( I know you’re meant to balance everything out but I love creating things so much and see people with full coloured comics and animations and I know I could do that if I had the time
Mostly I’m grateful for anyone who enjoys my stuff :) I’ve decided I want to be a creative director, an author or a disability worker. Current dream is to make a fictional book series covering characters with different disabilities to spread awareness and love
I just… I wanna make!!!! I wanna make more
Okay so I've started writing this thing:
It's Theodore Grambell-centric and also Ollie-centric because I love them both and... Ollie... Ollieeeeeee... I don't know man, that frickin phone somehow became a comfort character
Anyway, I'm reading up on Poppy Playtime lore so I can make the storyline juicier and came across this:
"Please note that working in the Game Station requires you to be a responsible adult."
Ollie, who is fucking 14:
