#Chapter 3 teaser

[sharkingpeach]

“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?

Considering Bron's thing for diets...

"What do you call the scariest dinosaur?"

"Me..."

“What are you scared of?”

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.

“Her.”

Not over how this chapter starts off so emotional and existential and then immediately you see a fucking 3D tv game show host hitting the fucking gritty as he drags you into his show, makes you play a snes rpg and then you witness a sunshine and cloud break up. This is one of the games of all time.

“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.”

WIP Wednesday - Chapter 5 of The Redemption and Subsequent Death of Bill Cipher

“Oh, hells forfend, what could you possibly— Oh! Billy!”

Bill keeps his hands jammed against the outer ring of the summoning circle as he glares at Copernicus.

“Sweet Moses! Don’t ’Oh! Billy!’ me, where in the hells have you been?!”

Copernicus has the decency to look a little sheepish as he brings his hands to his center.

“I told you, I’ve been busy.”

“Well, I’ve been…” Oh, how does Bill even begin to describe this? These past few weeks and suddenly he feels things for these humans, feels an affection for this world.

“Look, I’m calling all of this off.”

Copernicus lets out an aborted laugh.

“What do you mean you’re ‘calling it off’?”

“What I just said. I just—“ Bill wants to touch his face, but he needs his hands down on the summoning circle to continue this conversation with Copernicus. “I don’t want to do this anymore. I don’t want to destroy this realm or take over the universe or—“

“You’ve gone soft.” It’s accusatory and Bill winces.

“I’m saying that maybe it’s not worth it.”

“Oh, no, no, no, no! You grew to care about these humans and now you want out!”

The thing is that Bill can’t even refute that argument because that is exactly the reason, isn’t it? The twins are cute and charming, or whatever, and Ford’s… Ford and he likes Stan and Question Mark and Melody and—

“You’re not using me anymore. I quit.”

Silence meets his words before a slow, steady laugh erupts from Copernicus’ body. It gets louder and louder until he’s cackling. His eyes are narrowed and Bill imagines that there’s sharp teeth in a smile that doesn’t show.

“Billy, you don’t get a say in this. You never got a say in this.”

All the blood in Bill’s body runs cold, fingers curling against the dirt in the circle.

“What do you—?”

“Billy, you don’t think I didn’t think of a contingency if you suddenly grew a conscience, did you? I worked too hard for you to back out of this on a whim.”

Bill flashes his teeth like an animal.

“I’m not letting you use my body, use my brain anymore!”

“Oh… Oh, Billy, do you think it’s really that easy?” Copernicus floats closer, gripping Bill’s jaw. “Do you think you can just bail on me without consequence? We made a deal, darling, you’re mine until I decide you’re not.”

Bill rips his head with away with a growl, eyes narrowed on Copernicus.

“You’re out of your mind!”

“To be completely fair, I’m in your mind and, besides, you’re out of your depth, Cipher!” Copernicus pulls away, arms thrown wide. Suddenly, his form starts to warp. Black and inky, it ripples and twists until it’s an amorphous purple blob, three pairs of arms sticking out of the shape with dozens of eyes split across it.

“Gods know how long I kept that form to please you, but if we’re playing this game now, there’s no reason. I was hoping you’d play nice, but it can’t be helped. If what you really want is out, then you’ve got another thing coming. You’re mine and, if you won’t work with me, you’ll be my bait. You’ve already played so well for so long, you only need to do it for awhile longer.”

Bill rears back and almost breaks his grip on the circle before leaning forward again.

“What do you mean?!”

“Oh… Oh, are you really that stupid after all of this time? Thirty-five millions years and you lost all your common sense. Darling, this was never about you. I used you, you have to know that.” He puts a hand to what might be his cheek, it’s a little hard to tell in this form, but that patronization is still evident.

“You were so easy, a few flattering words and you came crawling to me. Was it that way too with your little genius? I told you we could rule the world, that I would help you, and you just crumbled. It’s no matter now, even if you want to back out, you can’t get me out of your head. You’re stuck with me and if you close your eyes, your body is mine. I’ve already have so much fun with it, it’s just a shame that you woke up too soon before I could do anything.”
