Having Angel as a parent sometimes tests Dogday's sanity.

Bonus:

How does it feel to be one of the biggest factors responsible for getting Newtwo to have a 180 in reputation among the Pokémon fandom?

NOT PICTURED IN HERE: catnap scaring off the neighbors in the first pic, and dogday's wedding ring in the second one.

Ok so- Catnap and Bobby

In your version of the Cartoon I can see Catnap be like

I love wild things

And then he meets Bobby and going like

Ah shoot

Was it like that or am I wrong?

There's actually a ''oh shit, i like her'' in the series, but it kinda subtle due all that happens in said episode

The episode were Bobby talk about her past is called ''A Wild Heart'', but the subplot of said episode is Bobby helping Catnap to find ''a important amulet'' that a wild took from his house. Catnap didn't specific asked for Bobby's help, but the rest of the critters told him to ask for her help 'cause she was the ''wild expert''. During all this travel, she's telling Catnap her story.

till this point, Catnap was a not really interactive protagonism, since everything he did was Dogday related, been by saving him from problems or by giving him support when his brother was down, but as a whole, Catnap was more of a support character that didn't interacted with the rest of the critters voluntary, and prefers to make everything on his own.

But after this episode, he start to get more comfortable with the critters, Bobby specially, since with her story she make him realized that friendship isn't something you get by talking a lot and been mega nice with everybody (like Dogday), but that is something that everybody can get, doesn't matter your origins, your personality, or your inability to express yourself like the others, you can get a friend just by trying, and she convince him to try.

GIVE THEM TO ME, NOW!!

Cat distribution system had a bit of a malfunction 😬

Stay tuned for the continuation 🥰💕💞

I’m just imaging Dogday and Catnap reenacting the spaghetti scene from Lady and the Tramp…

THIS IS SO CUTEEEEE, I can imagine them doing that by accident and Catnap just going blue screen as Dogday apologizes to him. And then they start dating and Dogday does that on purpose-

Apologies if you were already sent this, but Tumblr’s been a bit garbage (as usual XD) today on my end and it didn’t seem like it was able to send this ask through!

It’s so cute how friendly Dogday and Catnap are in the Smiling Critters intro! If you look closely at one point in the subsequent clip from the episode, you can see a photo of the two smiling and hugging each other!

THEY'RE SOOOO BABY TO ME. BEST FRIENDS 4EVER, THEY MADE A LITTLE DANCE COREOGRAPHY WITH JUST THE TWO OF THEM FOR IF THEY EVER NEED IT. I would love to see more canon and friendly interactions between them in-canon, but we can only dream.

GIVE IT TO ME!

they homeless catnap box him

Reblog = Adopted him

Like = Pat head

Semi-comprehensible list of family relationships in the Poppy Worlwide AU:

EVERYONE considers Angel to be the mother/father of the toys, including Prototype/Elliot himself and the people outside the family

Prototype is Poppy and Catnap's adoptive father, and he's the closest with them. With enough time, all the other toys also start to refer to him as a father, but this is a process that takes years

Angel and the Prototype are married, but not on paper

Although the toys all share Angel (and eventually Elliot) as their parental figure, not all of them see each other as siblings. It's very important to note that the typical blood family relationships can't always describe what they all have, and this is okay. They are still a valid family, etc etc.

With that out of the way, Poppy and Catnap refer to each other as siblings. They do the same when talking about Kissy, Picky and Delight

Delight, Poppy, Dogday, Long Legs and Bubba are considered to be the older siblings. Not because of actual age, they just know what they are doing most of the time

Bunzo, Boxy Boo and Huggy are the youngest kids. Bunzo for actually being 11 y/o and the other two for being permanently stuck at 7 y/o

The mini huggies are also age locked, being 8 y/o

The mini critters and all other small toys are not age locked unless I change my mind all of a sudden

Mini huggies see Huggy and Kissy as the cool older siblings

Mini critters see Catnap as their cool older sibling, and eventually this extends to the other Smiling Critters

Boxy Boo and Hoppy are brother and sister

Hoppy sees Kickin as her annoying younger brother. He sees her as his annoying younger sister. They love each other (gen)

Kickin and Dogday share a very close brother relationship

Crafty and Bubba also refer to each other as sister and brother. Bobby and Bubba also use sister and brother when referring to each other

Long Legs is the closest with Picky and Delight, but after making amends with Poppy they also become close and love annoying each other

Bunzo is basically Long Legs' little annoying brother, and he loves copying what she's doing.

Dogday and Catnap are a couple!!!

Kickin and Bubba are also a couple!!!

Delight and Long Legs are ALSO an insufferable couple!!!

Kissy and Huggy have a sibling relationship

PJ is everyone's annoying sibling (endearing). He loves pestering everyone around him. May be the one who gave everyone and Angel the "headbonk as a way of affection" virus. Very proud of himself.

I love this trio so much it hurts⚰️

Are there any recurring jokes or bits that happen on Kickin's streams?

OHOHOHO, I THINK THERE'S PLENTY OF THEM!

Lots and lots of pirate jokes/gags because of his interest and funky leg

"Damn, this place looking dirtier than PlayCo." as he plays a horror game

"I saw worse", as he once again plays a horror game

A reocurring bit where Kickin immediately goes for whoever is dressed in white whenever there's combat involved

"Guys please stop telling me Theo is behind me"

"No, chat, I'm not a furry, I'm the furry"

"No I'm not wearing a fursuit, this is made from biological material"

"I am made of real chickens! Stop saying I'm not!"

There was one video where Kickin went to Prototype's hut yelling for him to wake up (he wasn't asleep) because Kickin promised he would teach him how to build a gaming PC. Cue to Prototype gently getting up, only for an Angel wrapped in blankets like a burrito to IMMEDIATELY roll out of him and hit a wall, and – somehow – stay asleep. Kickin even yelled "MÃE DO CÉU–" and went to check in on them. Angel told him to give them five more minutes and began to snore. Even Prototype was horrified.

Needless to say "guys please stop saying this is a good place for my mom to sleep" (cut to the worst place possible for Angel to sleep in) became a gag.

Lots of jokes about the Smiling Critters cartoons and the irl experiments.

There's compilations of Kickin yelling and cursing in pt-br as well!

Kickin has many pirate-related nicknames but also people say he's third softest of all the irl critters, rivaled only by Dogday and Bobby. He looks more intimidating but then you cue to Crafty happily making a hyperrealistic horror drawing and Catnap staring at nothing and smiling as Kickin is jumpscared.

"MOM SPOTTED" when Angel comes into the room in order to give Kickin some food (he forgets to eat)

More that I cant think atm!

How i love silly Couples :3

Would Dogday and Catnap like FNAF Sun and Moon?

OH, DOGDAY LOVES FNAF SUN AND MOON. Catnap is more neutral, but Dogday is obsessed. He makes a cosplay for him and Theo and somehow manages to convince him to wear it. "They're PERFECT for us! They're the sun and moon!", and Catnap sighs and accepts his fate.

List of Sun and Moon pairings Dogday managed to convince Catnap to cosplay with him:

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna from MLP: FiM.

Solgaleo and Lunala from Pokemon Sun and Moon.

AtLA Zuka and Katara ("firebenders get their power from the SUN and waterbenders from the MOON, you KNOW IT!")

Rapunzel and Cassandra from Tangled: The Series (not an actual cosplay, Dogday put some things together to make an extremely cheap but equally hilarious outfit for him and Catnap to wear after they lost a challenge to Long Legs)

Also important thing: Theo doesn't actually need much convincing because he thinks it's silly, but because he thinks he'll look bad in the cosplay. He never does, Dogday knows what he's doing.

Cat distribution system had a bit of a malfunction 😬

Stay tuned for the continuation 🥰💕💞

before i go to bed i just wanted to let everyone know my angel used exclusively they/them pronouns in english and altho i may appear online responding to dms sometimes takes a lot of energy from me! i love you guys but please be patient if it takes me time to respond to asks/dms/similar.

anyways i think prototype copies angel's voice in order to annoy them (affectionate) and probably did an angel impression to entertain the other toys when angel wasnt around around. proto can also overheat his mechanical parts if he's not careful. he almost overheated two times: one in which angel found him in the middle of doing an angel impression, and another in which angel fell asleep next to him and used him as a plushie for the first time.

I know that trauma can make your brain "mentally age" age faster on a cellular level, especially if said trauma is almost getting mauled alive, having your insides ripped out, or.....Worse....

I think that is what is happening with the other critters (Minus Catnap aka, Theodore).

(Though I'm pretty sure Theodore has....Some trauma, though....I'm not to sure and it's just speculation.)

Thats a way of put it, yeah. But trauma can also make the mind go backward.

had you hear of those people that due childhood trauma or events in their past tend to close themself in a specific mental state (usually childhood or teenhood) due the fear of change? Aka Peter Pan syndrome.

That how we get case like Theo (Catnap), that unlike the rest of the critters that acts like really-traumatized young adults trying to survive, Theo has block his mind to everything that isn't how his character is supposed to act (the catnap from the cartoon) or his devotions to the prototype.

About the traumas in each critters, well, we're going to see those one little by little~

Hihihi look at my silly au

Catnap and day get to live!!!! I love them too much!! I kinda just added a lot of extra stuff to the story and made catnap nicer. I could explain it all but i dont want to in thsi post i think. If anyone cares i might

More^

my mind 24/7 since i learned about this critters

Oh my God! New chapter just dropped! Without being proofread! Yeeehawww!

Anyways, chapter 2.1 of the Angel saves everyone AU is OUT. Hope you enjoy it!

who's the most chaotic out of all of them? For some reason I'm assuming it's kicken chicken- I might be wrong though

Also may I give them all a hug if they let me :)

If we going by ''who loves to make more mischief'' and ''who MAKE more mischief on purpose'', we can say that, actually, Catnap and Hoppy are the most chaotic in the series. Kickin loves some good adrenaline, but usually try to stop himself due not liking the repercussions (in the episodes were he's the one starting the problem, it's usually on accident)

And now, the boys for Save Everyone AU! Angel was able to save the other part of Dogday's torso, but not his legs. Catnap is still recovering from his burns, Bubba has yet to discover his bad eyesight, and Kickin is trying to thrive!

Art commissions are on my pinned post, if anyone is interested!

Listing a few funny things that happened when Angel had to deal with the media, post rescuing everyone from Playtime Co:

Angel, still shaking from spending one week inside the factory and with dried blood still glued to their hair, smelling like hell, politely answering some questions while in the hospital while waiting for Dogday's emergency surgery to finish.

The media being obsessed with calling Angel, whose actual name is Raphael Taylor de Oliveira, "Angel" the moment they hear one of the toys referring to them as that.

Combine the religious imagery with Angel's poor little meow meow wet kitten born in a cardboard box with every disease face and we have a very, very easy way for making the narrative out to be "a kind ex-worker at Playtime Co. discovers that children were used as experiments inside the factory and risks their own life in order to save them".

Angel is instant-loved by Brazil the moment the first news start to arrive, which is something they're very proud of.

Angel having to hold Catnap and Mommy Long Legs by their hands while giving out an interview in their home, so neither one of them would be too mean to the poor reporters. Angel still has to tell them to be nicer though.

The cops and investigators having to explain why they didn't figure out there was something wrong with the factory when all Angel had to do was walk inside and say hello to the Huggy Wuggy statue.

A reporter explaining the horrific events while in the background Huggy stares at her like "smoll person :0}" and boops her. Cue to Angel saying sorry and anxiously guiding him away.

"What did you have to eat while trapped down there?", someone asks, and the toys all go "oh hahahaha. uhm. rats. and the bodies of our friends WHEN THEY INEVITABLY DIED FROM A DISEASE. we didnt hunt each other dw dw hahahahahaha".

Angel a few months later, after buying the farm, giving a "house tour" so people will know the kids are doing okay and stop pestering them about house-related questions. Angel is very excitedly telling the reporter about how much more space they have now while Catnap is eyeing a bird in the background. "Theo don't you think about that, you have food right there".

One of the mini critters listing all the toys that were gifted for them and saying "it's very nice, very chewable", I like how it tastes" and Angel looks at them like "so it's YOU who has been chewing the toys??????", with the reply being "and the doors as well!"

Catnap going from referring to Angel as "our savior" to simply "our mother" during any interviews or news reports where he somehow talks.

Everyone wanting to interview Dogday because he does, indeed, have a radiant and happy energy and audiences love him.

Angel saying "and the hut is the house of 1006, the first one to ever happen, but he would prefer if we just left him alone".

Poppy being someone who's always SUPER pleasant to work with, and excitedly telling the reporters everything they have been doing around the farm.

Angel sighing after finding out Prototype is Elliot Ludwig, KNOWING they'll have to tell the authorities so they can have license money and control over the Playtime Co. brand.

Angel turning to the family's lawyer like "you won't believe what I just found out", the lawyer saying "oh, this won't be the most absurd thing you told me yet", then after hearing Angel tell her about it going "oh, you are always full of surprises, uh. Uhm. Now that makes things complicated", and Angel laughing to the point of tears after that.

ALL the news reports during the trial against Playtime Co.'s higher ups and the negligent authorities. Kickin keeps a collection of the "best moments", which include Angel beating the ever living shit out of a higher up after he refers to the toys as "things" and "collateral damage" instead of "victims of human experimentation".

The news about the fact that apparently Elliot Ludwig became the first PlayCo. experiment ever, and Angel + Poppy having to deal with THAT.

Prototype's single public apparition, around 4/5 years post-rescue, because he had to go to court as well so Angel would have a chance of getting the rights to PlayCo. and all of its properties back to them.

The news when Dogday and Catnap get married, a whole decade post-rescue.

Angel just dropping the most cryptid information ever in social media or during one of the rare interviews they're willing to give after the initial years post-rescue. They tweet things like "I saw some people asking if any of the toys ever attacked me during the week I stayed at PlayCo, and I want everyone to know that all of them at some point did. But don't worry, I bit them back, we're all good now" and one time say "my husband and I like to grow tomatoes like this, but one of our daughters has been trying another way" and that's how everyone finds out Angel and Prototype are a Thing.

Craftycorn happily blogging her life as an artist and featuring all of the other toys during her videos, while Poppy does makeup and sewing tutorials, and the two of them doing collabs and livestreams often. During one of the streams Angel screams "THEODORE GRAMBELL LUDWIG OLIVEIRA DID YOU JUST HUNT A COYOTE AGAIN", and that's how Crafty and Poppy's fans discover everyone decided to add Ludwig Oliveira to their names.

I would say more but honestly this post has been getting pretty long so rip

I love how Kickin doesn't want to ask their name because he doesn't want to get attached but in the best ending, I can't imagine he doesn't get attached, since they get all the survivors out of the factory and prove they're a good person who won't hurt them.

In the best ending, Kickin definitely does get attached to where he sees them as a genuine friend! Now that all of them are free he doesn’t have to keep his walls up especially since, like you said, the player did prove that they aren’t going to harm any of them. Unfortunately that means the player has to deal with his true personality now. The teasing will be relentless /j

Dang it I just got a thought. after the couples got together during one of the thunderstorms, one of the minis turn on music to drown out the thunder and dogday asks catnap to dance and with the music going downstairs prototype asks angel to dance and they just softly sway together in a little soft moment

Okay I just HAD to write something about this. Hope you enjoy it!

Pairing(s): DayNap, Prometheus.

Warnings: None!

"Do you guys like this song?"

There's a pause as Marie Long Legs lifts Julie up so she can properly adjust the sound. The small green bunny's ears twitch, and she scratches her back while waiting for a response. Marie nods: "It's pretty good".

The others agree. A thunder echoes outside, and you have to gently squeeze Picky's arm so she won't collapse next to you. Carefully, you let her rest on your lap. The song is now louder, and Julie is tapping her bunny feet against the wooden floor.

"No more bad thunders for us!", she proclaims. You nod in approval, and she jumps on her feet, other small critters following her lead.

"Maybe you guys should dance", you suggest to no one in particular. "Get all of that energy out".

The toys mutter and talk amongst each other, and, after making sure Picky is alright, you let go of her arm and stretch yourself, not keen on the idea of getting up from your spot. Elliot moves behind you, and you feel one of his arms drag you closer to him. You look up as he stares right at you, his eyes glowing red. You nod at him with a smile, dragging your blanket closer to you two.

Hoppy is already silently clapping her hands by the time you return your attention back to the kids. Julie copies her movement, the other small toys moving.

That's when Dogday gets up from the pile of cushions, pillows and blankets made for the occasion. He stretches his arms, and, with a small smile, turns towards Catnap, lazily spread across his own corner of the living room.

"May I have this dance?"

Theo blinks slowly, before playfully rolling his eyes and getting up from his spot. "Of course".

"Ew, romance", Hoppy shows her tongue, receiving a smack from Catnap's tail. She laughs way louder than what you were expecting for such a simple joke, and you smile. "Dumbass".

Catnap gets up on two legs, tail wagging behind him as Dogday holds him close. You could pinpoint the exact moment the feline's world melted away, leaving only his partner there. And Dogday knew it, chuckling in amusement as he guided Catnap on their little dance.

"Awnt", Bobby mutters, next to you and Picky. "It's like seeing a little royal ball!"

"Who's the prince, then?", Poppy asks, nodding to the song's rhythm.

"Dogday", the bear suggests. "And Catnap is also a prince, but he's from another kingdom".

"We're hearing you two, you know?", Dogday replies, still chuckling. Catnap is purring, a signal to everyone inside to know that, at least for now, they're all safe. "But I like the idea".

"Hm", Catnap agrees. "It's not too far to what you actually are in real life".

Poppy, Dogday and Bobby all chuckle, amused. Picky is genuinely smiling as well. You can see Bubba relax against the couch he's using, petting Bunzo without a care in the world. "Not too far from our D&D sessions, either", the elephant points out.

"Are you guys really leaving only us to dance?", Dogday asks, being spun by Catnap.

"Naaah", the feline complains. "Don't say that, it's more space for us".

Tlic, tlic, tlic, everyone hears, as Delight, ready as ever, jumps from her pile of pillows, leaving her book aside, energetically dancing her way towards you and the other girls. She offers her hand to Picky, grabbing her cane with her remaining one, and the two of them giggle before joining the dance floor.

"Ah, noooooo", Catnap laments, playfully hitting the duo with his tail. Dogday cannot stop giggling as he and his partner try to give space to Delight, who simply decides to occupy more and more.

"You're going to knock us out of the dance floor!", he accuses them.

"Uh-uh!", Delight objects, laughing out loud. "Hoppy, Kickin, come here, darlings! Marie, Poppy, you too~!"

It's not long before a majority of the toys join the main couple on their many attempts at dancing. You stay in your sofa for a while, before getting up and wrapping Crafty on a warm blanket. She smiles back at you, camera on hands as she films the disorganized symphony.

"I'll go check in your other parent", you tell the group. "Be right back!"

"Yeah, sure, dad", Kickin replies, causing everyone, including you, to laugh. You show your tongue to him, and he replies the gesture. "Nah!"

"Nah!", you repeat, leaving the living room.

You pause, knocking on the bedroom's door before entering. You can still hear the song Judy put on for everyone to dance to, even after you make sure the room is once again closed.

"Elliot?", you call.

"Angel?"

You put your hands on your hips, amused, as you watch the giant pile of flesh, fluff and metal get up from another pile, this time made of pillows, various plushies, and extra-large blankets sewn together to fit his form better. He grabs all the cloth that covers his face, revealing a fleshy cover with brilliant red eyes.

"Looks like no lightning has hit you", you observe, approaching the Prototype. He leaves room for you to sit on your bed. "Just wanted to see if you were okay. The kids are dancing in the living room".

"I heard", he mutters, before hiding his face in the blankets again. "I saw".

"You saw?"

"I taught Theo how to dance", he continued, ignoring how amused you were at how, despite all this time, he was stil as stealthy as ever. "Did I tell you this?"

"... Yes. More than once, in fact", you lie against him. "Do you want to tell me about it again?"

"...", Elliot replies. "No".

"No? But you love talking about that!"

"I know".

"Bad day?"

You yelp in surprise when, all of a sudden, he uncovers his face and human torso, grabbing you and dragging you out of bed. You hold Prototype for dear life as he laughs in your face, amused. "You fell for this again".

"You scared me!", you groan, being put back on the floor. Elliot had gotten out of the blankets while you were trying to not fall (as if he ever dropped you on purpose), his amalgamation of a body now free from the bed. "What is it now?"

"The kids are dancing, correct?", he repeats, partially using your voice. You nod: "You should dance".

"And you should get out of the bedroom for now. I don't want you to have another nightmare without me being nearby to help".

"I will get out of the bedroom. But we should dance, first".

"We?"

The Prototype then showed his hand, palm open for you to hold, like you always do. You shake your head, letting him drag you close to him. His touch is half-cold like a machine and half-warm like a normal person, and the way he moves is still a bit broken and unelegant here and there, but you cling to him.

Slowly, one step at a time, you and Elliot try to make a little dance, going back-and-forth. He smiles (or at least attempts this the best way he can), and you laugh when he tries to spin you around, only for you to almost fall out of his grasp.

"So/rry", he mutters. "We are not used to doing this as much as we want to".

"We, as in you and me, or you, as in you and the other yous?"

"Both".

"Hm".

The song still echoes in the background. It's soft and warm, and you give Elliot a hug as you two try to make-do of your dance. His torso seems to relax under your touch, just like how your mind does when he's around.

"We should dance more", you suggest. "May be a good habit to keep. You're gettind old, Elliot, don't want to see you forgetting how to move".

"I can't get old anymore. You, on the other hand...".

You yelped when Elliot lifted you up, spinning you around him, but not putting you down. No, no, he really wanted to hold you.

"You... You will. Which is why we should dance more. You're getting old".

"Wait at least 50 more years before saying that".

He chuckles. You roll your eyes and give him a kiss on the forehead, making him stop moving. Then it is your turn to laugh, getting on the floor again and holding his hands so he can follow you.

"C'mere, big guy. The kids are going to love this if the critters and Bunzo don't try to use you as a mountain to climb".

Elliot merely laughs, opting to simply follow your command.

Bro, The Nightmare of every son in the World, prototype is luck. T_T

I know my version of Angel is just a tired lady trying their best to look after a family of +80 toys but sometimes even I forget the fact that they beat up Prototype before they convinced him to Not Go With The Suicide Plan(tm).

If they live in area with hurricane and tornadoes how do they react

I'll be honest: I have no idea how USA geography works. I'm a brazilian girlie, we don't have hurricanes or tornadoes, but my amazing partner unfortunately went through a hurricane or two and all I have to say is that Angel AND the toys have a very similar "what the FUCK is the weather up to now" reaction.

Angel first calmly explains to the group what a hurricane is - Miss Delight probably helps, cheerfuly doing a beautiful explanation for all of them -, then asks everyone to keep calm when the storm arrives. Reassures them everything will be alright but internally they're thinking "why the heck did I move from Brazil to here".

I like to think all the toys help Angel organize things pre-hurricane! Some toys go with them to the grocery store, others stay to grab blankets and prepare the electronics for the storm, Catnap and Prototype make sure to patrol the area and check with Miss Delight and Bubba for any possible damages to the house, etc. Angel is just a ball of stress because they're a parent but they can handle that.

Dogday, Picky, Bobby, Bunzo, Boxy and Kissy probably have the worst time. Dogday has excellent hearing and the whole situation makes him go "the world outside is ENDING even though it's NOT ENDING", while the others are just scared. Bunzo probably heard Miss Delight speaking about what hurricanes can do to houses and is just "what if..... What if the house FALLS APART.... And we all DIE????", poor baby. Kickin meanwhile is pretending to be all cool but he refuses to leave Dogday and Hoppy's side no matter what.

The other minis, small toys + PJ Pug-a-Pillar i think are a mixed bag of scared but not terrified like the previous toys. I hc most of the toys are between 13-19, so they are more chill and can come up with really fun ideas for games when the power goes out. Crafty and Mommy Long Legs come up with a lot of fun games to keep everyone entertained!

Catnap, Hoppy and Poppy are wary. They helped Angel set everything up, but Catnap still fears something will go wrong with their food. Hoppy is just wary in general, and Poppy fears something unexpected happening, but tries keeping her cheerful tone.

Huggy doesn't seem to mind anything but Angel has to tell him to NOT scare poor Bunzo.

Miss Delight and Bubba need to stay in the same room as everyone because there's a 50/50 chance they'll decide to go outside to "see it for themselves how the thing works". They're SO excited when it happens the first time!

Prototype, however, has to be allocated from his hut to the main house. Angel makes sure he's on his own confined room and covered head to toe in blankets because they're afraid he'll attract lighting. Catnap takes turns with Angel to check in on him, and when night arrives some of the younger toys rush towards Prototype because he's big and scary and will surely protect them from the storm (he can't but okay). Catnap sleeps next to the Smiling Critters in order to "protect" them (read: Dogday can't sleep so he keeps him company).

I like to think everyone sleeps in a big cuddle pile in the living room, after eating some snacks and Angel reads them a book. Miss Delight and Dogday help with making sure the youngest are asleep before checking in on Angel, who's half-asleep while Long Legs is using them as a teddy bear.

Overall I think Angel handles things pretty well when it happens! It feels better than dealing with THAT all alone. My Angel has a fear of floods, so you can imagine how stressful a hurricane or a tornado can be for them.

What are the gangs favorite type of video games to play? Weather it’s Mario, Pokémon, sports, rhythm games, horror games, etc etc.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!!!! Now...

Poppy prefers tabletop games more, but she can be often caught playing or seeing someone else playing The Sims. She LOVES that game - Angel has The Sims 2 installed on their computer, and when they all move to a bigger house Poppy gets her own PC so she can play TS2 as much as she wants.

Kissy doesn't play much on her own, but she really loves 3D platformers and adventure games. Her favorites are the og Spyro the Dragon trilogy! I think she loves watching others play pokémon as well.

Huggy loves racing games. Get anything with a car and he's instantly in love with it.

I can Mommy Long Legs making super over-the-top stories on The Sims 2 as well, so she and Poppy often share news of what their sims are doing. They are both active in forums and are trying to make their own custom content for the game!

Bunzo is a pokémon guy.

PJ Pug-a-Pillar doesn't like playing games in general but he LOVES watching others play, esp if there's lots of cutscenes. It's like watching a movie!

Miss Delight falls in love with Portal 2 when it's released, but I think she's really picky with her puzzle games. She likes being a bit creative on her solutions! She's also really into RPGs. I think the Fallout franchise is her comfort game.

Catnap and Craftycorn are walking Silent Hill encyclopedias, but they LOOOOVE survival horror. Catnap's fav is the original SH1, while Craftycorn loves Haunting Ground (PS2) and SH3.

Bobby on the other hand prefers Resident Evil and Clock Tower 3, but when it's not horror it's definitely a more experimental game. She cries everytime she plays Shadow of the Colossus but she loves it.

Bubba, much like Miss Delight, is SUPER into RPGs and puzzle games, but pokémon and Ace Attorney have conquered his heart. He LOOOVES gushing about it!

Picky's favorite is Animal Crossing! It makes her feel safe and she loves just walking around her town. She made a really impressive one and everyone wants updates from her villagers, Picky loves giving them.

Kickin can't get enough of any FPS or action-adventure game, and he can and WILL ragequit if he's playing online and his teammates start being rude to him or each other. Thankfully he learned really quick how to deal with the more toxic players so now he can truly relax. Unfortunately doomed to become a League of Legends player when it comes out.

Hoppy also loves FPS, but 3D platformers and open-world games are her favorites. Anything that gives her plenty of freedom to move around or just be silly immediately catches her attention! I think she becomes a Team Fortress 2 player.

Dogday prefers to watch rather than play and he gets SO invested. I think Miss Delight likes playing puzzle games with him because they figure out solutions together, but if Dogday were to chose a game for himself to play it would probably be a rythimn game. It gives him the zoomies.

The other smaller toys all have their own individual preferences, so talking about them is more complicated!

Everyone becomes obsessed with Minecraft when it's released. Catch Catnap pranking everyone on their shared beta server by pretending to be Herobrine.

When Angel gets them an Xbox 360 they have many game nights where they play on the Kinect.

Speaking of which, Angel is down to play literally everything, but all the toys know they aren't very keen on anything horror-related. Not because it's scary, it's just that Angel finds them boring after surviving Playtime Co. They probably have an encyclopedia-level knowledge of pokémon, tho.

Prototype doesn't play videogames, but enjoyes watching the others play. Just don't put ANY war games in front of him and we're all good, otherwise he stops watching.

So, did Smilling Critters really die out here? Wouldn't there be some kind of way for them to still be alive, or for the prototype to revive them? It's because I would like to see them here in your AU, mainly I would like to see CatNap apologize to them and have an emotional meeting with all of them.

(besides, you have a great AU, I loved it the first time it was posted :D)

AAAAAAAAA, thank you so much!!! I'm glad you like my AU!

I have been going on and off about letting the other Smiling Critters have a permanent death in my AU or not, but I think that for the "main version" of the AU they will be gone. Permanent type of gone.

In my own headcanons, PickyPiggy ate the remains of CraftyCorn, Bubba Bubbaphant and KickinChicken. I still don't know if I prefer her to have been so hungry she ended up turning on her friends, or if an accident happened and she was so hungry she ate their bodies. Either way, she also tried to attack Bobby, with Hoppy and Dogday stopping it from happening and leaving her behind. Hoppy died during an accident while the trio was running from Catnap, and Bobby died soon after. Again, I don't know how she died: Either a broken heart from losing so many of her friends, or from a critical injury from trying to save Dogday.

I think most of their bodies if not all of them were claimed by the Prototype, so in theory they could be brought back. In practice, however, all of this started because Elliot Ludwig couldn't accept the fact his daughter would be gone and desperately wanted her to have a chance to live. Angel and Prototype both know Dogday and Catnap miss their friends, and the duo's ever-increasing guilt is only going to get worse as they process their trauma, but bringing their friends back from the dead is not the way to do it. Deep down Angel wants to try that, but they can't and shouldn't. And it hurts, yes, but they can't allow the cycle to continue.

... ON THE OTHER HAND. Good God do I wish I could bring these dumb critters back from the dead, or at least make it so that Catnap trapped everyone/sent them to the Playtime Co's equivalent of the shadowrealm or maximum security prison, and Angel has to save them and stitch them back together during chapter 4. OR, EVEN, everyone discovering the other critters were still alive when the authorities go in to investigate the factory and find them very malnourished, but still alive.

IN MY OPINION Picky would have a hard time eating, thanks to her trying to eat her own friends. She goes vegan because even the smell of meat makes her stomach curl, and she decides to try gardening around the isolated house. She can't look most of the other toys in the face due to trauma, but she's trying so hard.

Kickin picked beef with both Mommy Long Legs and Kissy Missy. MLL finds him to be a sort of "annoying little brother", and Kissy is always making an >:( expression with some of the things Kickin tries to do. His way of coping is via trying to fill himself with hobbies. He gets diagnosed with ADHD and surprises no one.

Bobby has abandonment issues, becomes Long Legs' and Kissy's best friend, and now they NEVER leave each other's side. Bobby tries romance books and movies, only to realize what really soothes her anxious mind is, ironically, horror. And Doom. Lots of Doom. She also takes responsibility in helping take care of the younger toys, and I think she's also the first to fully accept Catnap's apologies. She hugs him and he becomes close to crying, then she starts sobbing and they're both hugging each other and crying. Her right arm needs extensive treatment due to her getting it badly injured, though.

Craftycorn has a 50/50 chance of becoming an Youtuber or influencer and no one can't change my mind, girl is the queen of MySpace /j. But being serious, she, much like Bobby, has abandonment issues, but is also TERRIFIED of the dark thanks to Playtime. It also takes her a long time to go back into drawing, and an even longer time to pick up any red pencils. It reminds her of blood. This however does end with her finding out drawing horrifying creatures helps her cope with her anxiety! Second to forgive Catnap and acquires an habit of making outfits and trinkets for the other toys. Also she has to wear braces on her hands and is always grumpy when her hands (hooves?) start hurting.

Bubba... My baby. My poorest boy. Mentally speaking, he seems to be the most well-adjusted, until he finds out he keeps forgetting what he reads or studies. He tries to play it cool, to be a helping hand to poor Dogday and Angel, tries to learn everything from the other toys so he can start making plans on what he wants to do for this future, but he just. Can't think about a future. And a few months later it's 3AM and he can't stop crying and chewing on his own pillows, and he feels awful and he keeps forgetting things and why does every little thing bothers him SO much, his recovery has been going so well, why is it happening? And then the flashbacks happen, and oooh boy, he does NOT escape the PTSD and burnout diagnosis. Much like Craftycorn he's extremely grumpy about his symptons, but Bobby and Crafty are trying to help him be kinder to himself.

Hoppy would probably need at least an year or two to physically recover from her injuries. She hates the fact her legs got so badly hurt during her time at Playco, and for the first few weeks she's grumpy, very easily startled, and very mean to others. It takes her the longest to even look at Catnap without wanting to murder him. Catnap sometimes wishes she had never started to forgive him, because now the only one left to forgive him is himself. Also I think Hoppy is the second one hit with the ADHD diagnosis, surprising no one.

Also. Ahem. All of them are besties with Miss Delight, who helps some of them try to understand Catnap more. Our big feline is constantly worrying about hurting his friends again and his guilt is eating him from the INSIDE OUT, but at least Dogday is there to help him. Speaking of which!

Don't tell anyone but Dogday has been smoking and drinking. He's 21, tired, and therapy is a long process. He thinks he's hiding well from everyone else (he can't be a bad example to them!) until, again, 3AM hits and he sees Mommy Long Legs smoking and Catnap coming back from the Prototype's barn smelling like alcohol. So all three of them stare at each other like "...", until they hear something falling down inside.

Surprise surprise, it's a drunk Angel.

THANKFULLY. These bad habits will eventually go away as, again, they recover from the trauma and start finding healthier coping mechanisms. But until then everything is MESSYYYYYY

... Okay now I'm once again reconsidering the idea of bringing them back from the dead or not rip-

I can’t imagine how happy Dogday was when he learned the rest of the Smiling Critters were still alive! Their reunion must have been heartwarming and tearful…though it must have been a bit awkward when Catnap showed up!

Some spoilers bc I REALLYYYYY want to write this scene, but! Catnap received a message from Prototype first and rushed to Angel, saying that more toys were found. Angel thanks him and rushes back to Playtime Co. as the cops call them to tell them about the situation.

When they arrive, Poppy on their side, it's when they see Craftycorn, wrapped in a blanket, trembling.

Angel drops their phone to the ground. Poppy's eyes are wide open as they see Hoppy being carried over to an ambulance. Angel grabs their faithful Nokia phone and immediately calls back home. Mommy picks up the phone, only to hear Angel say "the other Smiling Critters are alive".

Long Legs' eyes are also wide open in surprise when she gives Dogday the phone. He then stares at Catnap before telling him their friends are all alive.

Angel grabs Dogday's wheelchair and fits him in the van they rented - Catnap didn't have the courage to come with them - before driving to the hospital. When Dogday sees Crafty, the first one to recover, they're both sobbing. They hug each other, Dogday asks her just how this happened, she says that she tried her best. Dogday is there to calm Hoppy down when she wakes up, to hug Picky when she sobs upon finding him, ready to help Bobby clean her tears, cracking a joke when Kickin wakes up and asks if he died and this is heaven, and there to give Bubba the hug he needs. Everyone is so happy to find each other still alive, and then Dogday and Angel break the news that most of the other toys are still alive, including Catnap.

Reactions are Mixed. "He's doing better now", Dogday promises. "He's doing so much better, actually. He wants to make up for everything". Hoppy doesn't believe him at all, and the others are wary. They come back to Angel's home one by one, and each encounter makes Catnap more and more aware of their own increasing guilt. He gives every single critter a small gift, or at least tries to make them feel as comfortable as possible. He doesn't talk much to anyone until two weeks after, when he helps Picky move around a bit.

There is a moment in which Catnap does cry from seeing his friends doing well, and I think he cries a lot when Crafty hugs him and tells him she forgives him and MEANS it. The others come with time, but everyone eventually goes back to being a big and silly group of friends.
