Aaaand rule34 of Baba Chops exists! We don’t even know what their full design looks like yet but seems the imaginations of these artists are ahead of Chapter 4’s release schedule

Hey, Smaller Bodies! <3
Writing dilemma! Working on Destroy-A-Toy's first installment. The problem is that it takes place in 1991 while the fic is meant to take place in 1995.
Smaller Bodies = 1991
Destroy-A-Toy = 1995
Yet the first DAT fic is in 1991. I'm considering making it a flashback, sharply jumping at the very end to a paragraph break with Dogday sighing and thinking back at how the chapter happened 'four years ago'. The only problem with THAT is there are two more fics planned that also deal with the repercussions of what happened in 1991.
Three first DAT fics:
YOU, UH... YOU'RE DIFFERENT
PAINTING SUNS!
BABY STEPS!
First one introduces a new character, the second one explains why Dogday's bandana has suns on it (since in the written works it's just been plain yellow) and the third one goes over KickinChicken's blindness. After these three "worldbuilding" fics, the ultimate 1995 plot begins.
This is a problem for me because it doesn't roll with the strict time jump... unless it's three consecutive flashbacks. Call me a writing nerd but that seems like a weak excuse to me. Maybe I'm nitpicking, feel free to call me out for being too particular with the way I write...
Would you guys mind if the first three fics touch base on the Sugar Breath aftermath?
I wish you could do more than one poll because I ALSO have to ask if you'd prefer this as a flashback or not.
Please comment/reply! Thank you! <3
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! <333333
May your days be merry and doodly!!
hi its my birthday today
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.
They’re so pretty!! :0 Well done!!
been getting into the smiling critters lately and thought I showed my edits of them that made yesterday!! will do the boys soon or later
I’m curious…
Its reception is definitely different to Chapter 3’s. So far what I’m getting:
Everyone loves Doey
Pianosaurus deserved better (yes he did)
Prototype reveal was awesome
Everyone hates Poppy and loves Kissy
The Doctor sucked and barely showed up
You gonna let him?
(it’s from this fuckin thing, thanks discord)
Hey, same height and we’ve never seen his face. Ollie COULD be Lord Farquaad 🤷♀️
Context is I’m working on an Ollie redesign and I proposed it to a discord server with the Lord Farquaad image as in I was giving Ollie the makeover, and it morphed into this somehow
I just realised something really uncomfortable (related to my AU)
So you know Poppy is “the most incredible doll you will ever meet” and “the very first truly intelligent doll that can have a conversation with a child”?
Well.
In Smaller Bodies, Ollie is an intelligent doll, and he came before her.
So Ollie’s whole plastic-skin surgery progress was probably just to perfect Poppy.
He’s like a prototype of her.
Ouch.
Like, imagine being Ollie and looking at your cute little sister and how similar she is to you except her skin doesn’t have the same faults as his, and he just sorta makes the connection that the reason he was tortured and forced into a plastic body was to make room for Poppy. And he’s STILL NICE TO HER.
This is like a new level of being the favourite child…
This fucking kid is a saint
