Not all of this has been said in Smaller Bodies but I’ll elaborate in Destroy-A-Toy. For now, here’s a post both for my own reference and for anyone keeping up with the AU!
First off, Poppy’s real name is Cecilia Ludwig.
Here are some reasons for the name Cecilia.
Floral and fancy, delicate
The name “Cecilia” means “blind”. Same root as Cecile or Cecily. As a character, Poppy is extremely ignorant and blinded to the world around her.
Implies that poppies are not her origin (which they’re not)
As you can tell by the surname, she was the daughter of Elliot Ludwig. I’ve had this headcanon for a very long time but don’t think I ever officially wrote it in… Cecilia’s death caused Elliot so much pain he became enclosed in his office; not sleeping, not eating, not showering. Clearly unfit as a founder and CEO. This let people like Harley Sawyer and Leith Pierre get into the company’s higher spots.
Ludwig doesn’t care about the experiments or the cruelty they suffer. He cares about getting his kid back. He’d be great friends with Afton just saying
Anyway, Cecilia was six when she died. I’m not sure how she died but as symbolism it may be something optical or brain-related. That would also make Poppy’s perfection more impactful.
And I can imagine her being all
“EWWWW they don’t work right…”
“No one works right, Poppy.”
“I do!”
“…you’re the only one.”
THEM!! They're very squishy.
Gonna try and remake this digitally so it’s a lot cleaner! But yeah - here’s Smaller Bodies Dogday :)
For anyone wondering about the breathing collar, check out this fic —> Chemical Weapon. Basically, he got poisoned from breathing in Catnap’s smoke constantly, so he got some surgery and a built-in ventilator.
Buddy boo is a spaniel so he’s got the ✨ floomphies ✨
Theodore's age will change, but right now he's 7 years old. Theodore is very important here.
I don’t know how to fix the untitled bit but ummm
Posting covers costs extra so ummmm time to make more originals
I have another two pack I want to post because I composed the soundtrack for a visual novel but I gotta ask the author for permission to use the novel icon
This stuff’s also available on Apple Music, though I don’t actually have it and therefore can’t use it/grab the link :(
They can be used for Instagram reels too!
Hihihi!! I wrote one called Smaller Bodies :) I’m really proud of it so I’d love to share it!!
In a nutshell, a tiny, sensitive and nervous Catnap toy is not placed into the Playcare not with the purpose of being a Smiling Critter, but with the purpose of putting potential experiments to sleep.
Catnap’s treated like a tool to be used during surgeries, but when encouraged and given hope by Dogday, it starts to think maybe it can be its own person.
💜🧡
Oh yeah also the art is adorable :))))
Could anyone recommend any SC fics you like or ones you've made? I really want to read one since I've never read a Smiling Critters fanfic before.
I WANT IN

Even if some of you aren’t necessarily my friends I have interacted with you directly at least a couple times and so yes you came to mind on this day :>
I’m still like half asleep so I probably forgot some people but just know I appreciate ALL OF YOU 🫵 you’re all so amazing, even just the people I interact with like once in every five years, yes, you are amazing. Some of you I’ve only talked to like once in dms or in reblogs/comments but I still enjoy our interactions so I’m putting them up here
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 👹👹👹👹👹
Theodore Grambell gives me MASSIVE Omori vibes, so I thought: what would they look like together?
(this is genuinely going to be his design now because I'm in love with this :))
The urge to draw Ollie with a MIAMI BITCH cap and a GoPro like “hey guys I’m in the Florida Everglades and there’s a giant swamp puppy coming in hot” and it’s the Huggy Wuggy statue
I love shower thoughts

Hamza’s gofundme is here:
Hamza is fleeing Gaza and has no source of income. His sisters are children, food is scarce and he has no home.
His gofundme is severely down on donations. He reached out to me to help. I can’t donate because I’m underage, but many people can. If you can and if you’re willing, please consider donating to Hanza and his family.
Thank you so much, love from Qibs. <3
