I Just Realised Something Really Uncomfortable (related To My AU)

Creating their ref, now a legitimately graded school art project

Meet Thirteen 🧡🪸🌊

(They/it/xem - basically anything outside the gender binary)

AQUATIC DOLL AQUATIC DOLL ‼️

Creechur…

One eye and ear is fine. The other… might be recording what you say. That eye and ear intrudes on 13’s own privacy though, so the starfish can be used as an eyepatch if attached to straps :)

Those who know this character will know who this REALLY is. But how they got here and why they look like this is a mystery…

(Unless you follow my Instagram story ramblings lol)

And yes, they have legs. They’re Lagoona inspired. Kind of a mix of Lagoona Blue, Elle Eedee, and Honey Swamp, all of whom I have dolls which was awesome because 13’s a doll too! :) They’re not a Monster High doll though, they’re actually part of Destroy-A-Toy. After a gunshot goes off. But it’s fine because floridaaaaaaa

Ollie needs more canon screen time but in the meantime since MOB Entertainment hasn’t mentioned/teased anything else about him let me just…

like

kidnap him

… them now!!

Contrary to their appearance, this is NOT a child. This isn’t even a toy.

Green is the colour of safety, which can be both legitimate and false.

Orange is a rejection of poppy red. It is a reflection of their old, natural body.

Pink is to appear feminine, sweet and appealing.

Purple is a royal colour. It represents luxury and power. Purple is represents Catnap.

Primary colours are a no-go unless for manipulative purposes. While Ollie can’t help that their phone is red, yellow and blue, behind the speaker is someone who has sworn off those colours. This also represents how they initially appear to be working for the company but are instead planning to sabotage it.

Get over here you little rat, you’re mine now

I like to headcanon that every time Ollie is on the phone with the Player their/his mind works like this

Ollie: We have to get enough power to progress and free the toys! :)

Ollie, internally: Omg please just die already

Also, they and Poppy shit-talk everyone and it’s great

Hear me out: Rabie Baby and Ollie are 100% in cahoots.

Rabie is a gossip girl and Ollie is an information broker.

They are GOING places

So a Microsoft Software Update just screwed up over 100,000 flights

Great job Microsoft

Here’s the plan!!!

Get idiots ready for the Toy Tour, reasonably hyped

Slam-dunk them onto the train

Introduce the nightmare critters - they’re forced to share a train carriage

Make the critters go “:0” as they’re given rooms while Dogday shits himself because he can’t sleep beside BigNap

Introduction to Ollie and the realisation they’ve turned into a dictator

Grand dinner night and the official announcement of the start of training

Slow realisation that the Toy Tour is rigorously controlled

Mass panic, leading to threats of Destroy-A-Toy

The Tour is now a concentration camp where anyone who objects is killed or threatened

Optional additional ideas:

Someone’s poisoned at the dinner party

Ollie teaches the other toys about things like racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia etc and they’re all horrified because these toys have never seen those concepts before (at least, not that they’re aware of)

Dogday makes friends with Infox, who is @thattiredgamer’s OC; Kather, who is @i-am-in-the-mind-fuck’s OC, and SourTail, who is @bazyboo13’s OC

Possibly a snippet or mention of the cult. You’re not meant to know Destroy-A-Toy’s being ruled by the kitty queen, but for those already in the know it would be great foreshadowing!

Teach the toys the Footloose dance because it would be really funny as a training exercise

The above are the things I gotta do forrrrr this series!

May be shabby now but I’ve got the plans! Stories take time! Especially since this is more an original fic instead of a what-if :)

Miss Delight art because she’s classy

Her sticker too!

I've been writing for years and I still struggle with this, especially since posting publicly. So to any writers out there who think their work isn't good enough, I've discovered your own perception on what you write is a lot harsher than how people will actually view it. You're doing fine. It's alright. :) Perfection is unobtainable so let's accept what we have!

It's going to be fine. <3

How to Stop Hating Everything You Write

1. Don't be afraid of making mistakes.

Quit judging yourself for every mistake you make along the way. Whether you're writing fiction, fanfiction, or nonfiction, just write. If you can't correct your errors as you go, that's okay. When I don't have the brainpower to multitask, I focus on the writing stage one step at a time. Just write!

2. Don't aim for perfection.

"It's not ready if it's not perfect." That's a lie. When you're in the process of writing, it's best to concentrate on getting your thoughts on paper.

3. Seek feedback and learn to receive it.

Join lively communities with active writers or forums that host events inviting writers to share their work for critique. Not every critique is constructive; learn to discern which feedback to take on board and which to ignore.

4. Read, read, read.

You can't give what you don't have. You learn a lot from reading similar pieces in your chosen genre. Reading is also a source of inspiration that fuels your writing process.

5. Cut yourself some slack.

Writing is no small feat. It takes talent to formulate a story with your mind and skill to visualize it for others to see. Do you love writing? Then keep doing it because it takes practice.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I love your Smaller Body Initiative series…it’s so wholesome but so sad at the same time, just give the two sillies peace!!💔

Either way, I love it, and I was wondering if I could draw art of your series sometime with your permission!
