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.
Destroy-A-Toy would be PERFECT to explore this since the plot centres around a toy pruning!
For context, in Smaller Bodies, she and Ollie were fairly innocent.
Then Ollie started acting manipulative.
Monkey see, monkey do!
I’m considering giving Poppy a superiority complex. She’s one of the only perfect toys out there and therefore shares no sympathies with the imperfect toys. They are beneath her, and she doesn’t understand why they shouldn’t be killed.
“If they don’t work, what’s the point of keeping them?”
The question is, when she finds out what Playtime Co. is doing, does she agree or rebel?
I don't reblog often anymore but THIS. THIS is some cool jazz
My Name is Ollie, nice to meet you!
In Chapter three, we're introduced to Ollie. I personally like the theory that he's just simply the Prototype mimicking the voice of the actual Ollie who most likely is long gone(depending if he either was experimented or died after the Hour of Joy). We do know at some point, Ollie was in fact an orphan as he does have his own room in Home Sweet Home.
Now others think that he's his own toy and is just an experiment helping out Poppy like how Kissy is helping. Some argue that certain toys are shown to have child-like voices like giggling from the mini critters so it could be plausible an experiment like him just kept his young voice.
My issue with him being another experiment that simply calls you is more based off of a information perspective. In this same chapter, we learn that the Prototype can mimic voices and here we have is a "kid" speaking to us with the use of a phone while never actually appearing in front of us, it would make sense for that to be the hint of not trusting Ollie. But if he was an experiment, why would they give him a young, childish voice. It would make more sense if Playtime Co. adjusted the vocal cords where they don't sound at all like children as some orphans might pick up on that so to have Ollie as an experiment just keep his child-like voice while every other character that truly talks have adult voices doesn't make sense to me.
Also other things that make sense for Ollie being the Prototype is the fact that Ollie never speaks when the Prototype appears and only speaks before and right after the encounter with the Prototype. He also knows exactly where we are, talks about the shrines with excitement like he's proud of what Catnap made, sort of jokes about missing limbs after the Player's encounter with Dogday, speaks in a monotone/robotic way, and knows about Catnap's backstory claiming that it's a story that they say which is a bit weird as how would the other toys know that Catnap got into an accident and was saved and that's why he worshipped the Prototype? Catnap doesn't seem speak much if at all most of the time and no other character mentions about Catnap's backstory. Dogday explains that Catnap sees the Prototype as his god without explaining why. Miss Delight just simply works with Catnap and reports to the Prototype, she never mentions about Catnap's background either.
So that's why I drew Ollie like this, he's supposed to represent a frame of a kid that Ollie could've looked like but something isn't right. His left arm reveals the Prototype's hands as he happily calls us. I also think it would be interesting if Poppy doesn't know about this and it's like nobody is truly on the same side which is a fun concept that I don't see as often.
A post compiling assorted names from scammers running medical,vet bills,and insulin scams, and more. All names listed here have been recorded from confirmed scam accounts, often hidden in multicolored text. These names are likely stolen off real people who are now being impersonated. Please make sure you haven’t sent money to these names from accounts that are relatively new. These may also appear in other scams.
This update is a WIP so it will regularly update.

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
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
