“I dunno, last I checked Seekers didn’t do much aiming. You’re just out there on your broom reaching around for things, aren’t you?” Sirius asked playfully, standing up and extending a hand to Harry as he smiled. But Harry ignored the outstretched hand, standing up himself and watching as dry sand fell from the dark red swim trunks he had on. One of the pairs Sirius had bought for him and the pair Sirius washed the most for him after, maybe, realizing Harry liked them the best.
“Did you play Quidditch?”
“I didn’t.”
“Then how would you know?” Harry asked, and Sirius threw his head back and laughed loudly. It had taken Harry all of the past two weeks, but he had finally stopped jumping at the sound and instead had learned to welcome it. Sirius found him funny and the warmth from the sun on the beach filled his chest as he ducked his head to hide his own smile.
Here is a little teaser for chapter 3 of Good Mistakes and Bad. A little longer than usual, but I don’t think any of y’all will mind.
Enjoy my lovelies!!!
“That didn’t take much convincing.”
The Omoticaya rolled his eyes at that, “I said maybe.”
At that, the fingers at his waist dug, ever so slightly, into the sensitive skin there, knocking the wind out of the man under their grasp. The owner of those fingers leaned closer, until his lips brushed against the other man’s ear, “And I know how to turn that maybe into an ‘oh yes, Ao’nung, righ-’”
The man beside him pressed his hand over the Metkayina’s mouth and snapped, “Focus on your work or I will leave and you can find someone else to talk into your bed tonight.”
“So serious, Neteyam. You should let me help you with that,” Ao’nung persisted, wriggling away from the hand that had been clasped over his mouth. Before the man at his side could say anything, he added, “And I didn’t think you’d be into something like gagging, but I am more than willing to work with that.”
“Someone really should gag you. Now, work,” Neteyam grumbled, turning back to his notebook. He just had to hope that the Metkayina would take the hint.
“I don’t see why you take this tutoring thing so seriously,” the larger man stated, but turned to begin working on the circled questions, nonetheless.
“Because one of us has to take your grade seriously, and apparently, that’s me,” the Omoticaya retorted, his pencil scratching against his paper once again.
“Aw, so you do like me after all,” the larger man teased. Neteyam didn’t miss the way those blue eyes gave him a quick glance before going back to the paper.
Deciding to play nice, the darker skinned man confirmed, “You are almost tolerable, when you’re not trying to get your hand in my pants.”
The man with yellow eyes didn’t have to look over to know that the Metkayina wore a shit eating grin. Keeping his voice low, in case anyone was to pass their table, he argued, “We both know that your favorite thing about me is that I shove my hand in your pants.”
Great Mother, Neteyam knew better than to humor the other man, but there was something so exhilarating about talking about such a thing in public. He would definitely have to give himself a serious talking to later. But for now, he played along, humming, “Well, I can think of something I like more.”
“I know what you’re asking, Steve. And I know you don’t seriously expect me to believe you are worried that sharing a cabin is any different than being here, around the kids, at all.” Steve chewed his lip. Scott folded his hands on his desk and leaned forward, “If you were that worried, I don’t think you would still be here. Have a little faith, huh?" Steve sighed and sank in his chair.
"Steve, do you know who Socrates is?"
With the release of the teaser for Chapter 3, I've decided to make a post about my thoughts on it plus what I believe to be the creepiest toy in all of Playtime Co.
The very first thing I thought of when I came across the teaser is that this is our first introduction to Candy Cat, or rather the Bigger Bodies Initiative version of Candy Cat. However, the original Candy Cat toy is more plastic and light blue, so I assume this is probably the "mother" or "father" of the Candy Cats. We don't know any other toy who has purple fur and metal claws (Boxy Boo has the same claws, but that's about it), so this is the best educated guess I can come up with.
As for our poor little Huggy Wuggy here, it has become a tradition at this point to add in the Poster Child of Playtime Co. in teasers and trailers. I'm beginning to believe that this little guy's appearance is symbolic and not just a way to appeal to the fans. We know the big Huggy from Chapter 1 supposedly died after falling down from a bridge we broke while trying to escape. I say "supposedly" because it has been theorized that Huggy is still alive (the blue fur on the walls in Chapter 2, the trail of blood, etc.). While I may be on the fence simply because I just don't know and I want to be surprised, I will say that Huggy will return... But not in the way we think.
So far, the little Huggy has been shown with the main antagonists of each chapter. First it was Mommy Long Legs, and now it's... whatever the hell this is. Huggy Wuggy was the first antagonist. With him defeated, the torch is passed to another giant abomination, and then the next, so on and so forth. The player, the main character, will be going through a series of main antagonists until we eventually meet the Big Kahuna of the bunch. As each one has the little Huggy, they're also reminding us of his first encounter, consistently keeping that memory alive despite Big Huggy's death.
Why would this franchise keep on showing Huggy Wuggy and not give Mommy Long Legs the same treatment? The simple answer to that is most likely fan appeal. The better, more cooler answer to that is that Huggy's purpose is far from over. Huggy is dead and yet he is carried around, almost puppeteer-like, as if to represent the cruel and sickening implications of what happens to useless toys. Many of those toys died, and the ones who thrived survived - a "Natural Selection" society of Frankenstein'ed objects. While the weaker ones were tossed aside, the stronger ones are reborn... Brought back to serve their purpose once more.
Who's to say that Huggy will return with a vengeance, stronger, faster, deadlier than before, all thanks to the Prototype?
...
Anyways!
Now, I've seen SuperHorrorBro's video on this and he brings up an interesting take:
This teaser is introducing us to Candy Cat and Bron the Dinosaur.
Personally, I don't quite see it, despite him explaining that the eyes are not "cat-like" and so could belong to Bron. While that may be true, I don't think that's him. I believe Bron will appear eventually in Poppy Playtime as one of the antagonists we encounter throughout the game (much like Bonzo Bunny, Pug-a-piller, and the little Huggy Wuggys). If Bron is going to be an antagonist, my best guess is that he's going to be a sightless enemy.
In other words, we will have to sneak our way from getting caught by Bron, who relies solely on sound and touch. (maybe smell? These toys are made of humans, after all.)
In the very first trailer for Poppy Playtime (Chapter 1), we get a little cutscene of Bron slowly turning his head to the viewer. While this is probably a little animation just to showcase the game, I genuinely believe that we will encounter him at some point, even if he's going to be in a future chapter and not Chapter 3.
And look at his eyes - or lack thereof! You cannot look at this and tell me that is NOT a stealth mission waiting to appear.
And I am both excited and absolutely fucking terrified if it's true.
Bron, in my personal opinion, is the creepiest toy in all of Playtime Co. He's not a savage beast like Huggy, or a sadistic villain like Mommy Long Legs. Bron is more subtle - a more quiet horror. He is like a shadow at the corner of your eye, or a sudden creak in the night. His quietness gives off that sense of uneasiness, leaving you second guessing. You don't even know if he's staring at you right now. By doing almost nothing, Bron causes his prey's imagination get to them before going for the kill. He would rather watch you cry and panic and run first, before finally, and mercifully, ending it all.

Did you know that the human body contains 125,822 calories?
Luigi felt the Star's unease fill his every being—a child shaking in a dark alley, crowding against a corner with no escape. And with a voice that stole Luigi's breath, the Star responded.
“I like you Robin. You’re cool, like us.”
“Pfft. I’m a dork,” she elbowed him, “Like you.”
He ignored her, “But your taste in men,” he nudged his chin ahead of them, “Is trash.”
Robin stopped in her tracks at the sight of Steve at the bottom of the stairs outside of Scott’s office- or the closet space he fit a desk space into next to his bunk room. She tore her eyes from Steve to face Jeff and he was shaking his head at her, “Whatever, dude.”
