<(You are here)><(sequel part)>

Sypnosis || An unlikely shortcoming of a friendly entity, or, You get a new friend in spite of this hellish factory.

The noise that had buzzed in the far reaches in the depths of your ears had annoyed you to no end, insistent to remain with you. So many times over had your guilt marred your sense of peace, your sense of futility. Whatever control you felt you had in your life was completely gone the moment you had come back to the accursed place known as Playtime Co. Toy Factory. So many unruly things had gone here, things done and said that left you chuckling–few that had left you with regrets.

Regrets that had stayed with you for well over ten years, since your co-workers had disappeared. You always had a sinking feeling you knew well what had happened to the last of them, your friends and those that you had come to consider family. 

Then you fell into Playcare, a place once filled with laughter and joy, something of which was indescribable. To know the children here and being able to hear such joyful playing and sometimes the odd cry, it was fulfilling, now the whole Factory–every floor there was to know–was devoid of the very same life you’ve come to know and love all those years ago.

Now the only thing that had tormented your mind, as it always had been since you first arrived, was your fight or flight. Instinctive you were, but you hated every minute of having to run and hide away from the monster that had presided reign over their domain, on of which the very one you had to be stuck with was-

“Catnap?” You muttered, thumbing the scarred fur that was blotched with ashy spots, as if it were burned by fire. 

The small recreational stuffed animal looked so adorable for the most part, yet it disturbed you greatly, guilt was predominant in mind and body. In all of your years you had remembered working at the Factory you don't ever recall the name of Catnap, the creepy elongated mouth had stood out to you the most.

He was hunting you, toying with you for sport. You couldn’t really understand why he hadn’t just gunned you for killing you at a moment's notice, though you felt a breath of relief that you could buy yourself time.

Supposedly some of this relief is partial to the fact that this Ollie kid was guiding you on where to go, with how dark this place was is absurd to you–so the guidance was appreciated. A voice had finally snapped you out of your ever consuming thoughts, it was terribly the truth.

“Hey are you alright? Just press that button and you’ll be through in no time! The small critters cant seem to get you from up there so you should be alright.” Ollie, yes Ollie that is the kids name. Who is this strange person anyway?

Unfortunately you weren’t in a position to worry about that right now, you simply pressed the button with the help of your grabpack. Trying to remember all the hands you had now with you was troublesome, but you manage.

‘I suppose.’ You wonder if there is anyone in this place that won’t actively be out for your head, truth be told.

Maybe that was a miracle in mind, as you walked through the desolate rubble the air seemed to desaturate, a mist once permeated with dread and the iron taste of blood seemed to float away as you came across a surprising display. Gruesome but something nobody should have to see or experience. 

It seemed to be DogDay, you could've sworn coming across a cardboard cutout of the very same character earlier. 

He seemed to be so.. Sad.

“You…you’re Poppy’s angel. Come to save us. Nothing left to save, not here…You’re in CatNap’s home, angel. Their home.” His voice was broken, forlorn, vocal cords riddled with experience he never wanted to relive again. You felt saddened on his behalf, no doubt the pain he is feeling right now is tremendous. For a moment, silence had filled the comfortable atmosphere rendering you with a small pit of anxiety balling within your gut.

Still you feel as if you had to speak, but you allow Dogday to have his part, that much you could try to do for him.

DogDay’s head lolled about as if he were a ragdoll, the effort to make movement was extraneous. “A million pairs of eyes are on you now. Watching, waiting, hungry. They want nothing more than to crawl beneath your skin and eat away at you bit by little bit - fill what feels empty inside themselves.” Those words sparked an ire of curiosity inside your trodden heart, you wanted to help him now.

You needed help, especially answers too. He was in pain, and you wanted to help him, so to ease your guilty conscience a little; hopefully in the process of gaining a friend at the same time. “Catnap.. Just, I don’t understand him.” DogDay raised his head, looking at you wistfully as if he had expected the aforementioned cat to be brought up. 

DogDay winced as he moved, each little rattle sending painful vibrations throughout his body–the phantom legs hadn’t brought any peace to him whatsoever.

“That thing…CatNap. The Prototype is his God, and this is what he does to heretics.” His words carried an aura of ominous spiels, as if you were to heed this warning. “These little toys follow CatNap to avoid that very fate- and in return, they are fed.” 

In their place, you would take measures to avoid such a fate too if you would. To a point, you could sympathize with the small toys, not being able to do anything and the teetering possibility of being killed always hanging over your head. Knowing that alone is unfathomably terrifying.

“Would explain why they were hunting me previously..” You murmur, now tucking that thought to the depths of your mind. Still you wanted to hear out DogDay, for he knew better of what had gone on here then you did. His head had shagged, fur ruffled and dangling about as he had squirmed slightly.

“We tried to fight it, the Prototype’s control. I’m…the last of the Smiling Critters.” His tune was mournful, his friends really had been killed right before his very eyes. Catnap’s gas, you remember it well enough. 

You had to take a moment – articulate your words. You were completely filled to the brim with anxiety and alert, you remind yourself to not let down your guard in spite of being with someone who has no intention of wanting to kill you. “You had tried to escape, and he… knocked you out with his gas?”

DogDay’s brows creased, confirming your answer. You felt so terrible for him, causing you to be firmly set on a decision. 

You were helping him get out of here, in no way shape or form did you feel he should be left behind in shambles like this. “This is probably going to sound, insane. But I’m gonna help you get outta here.” Dogday perked up at this, nodding his head no.

He certainly didn’t want you to die, especially not on his account.

“Angel that is not wise! I will slow you down.” He persists, “Listen to me, you need to get out of this place. You need to live. You and Poppy can fix this, end this madness, the torment–” You didn’t want him to change your mind, so as immediate as you were, You desperately grabbed at his arms.

Quickly and surely enough the small critter toys had began crawling toward DogDay, you certainly would not put up with that. You fired a flare gun at the small critters, as much as you could so you could buy time to get DogDay out of his chains.

It seemed Dogday had sensed your determination to want to help him in spite of his warings, even with how much he had tried to convince you to leave. “You are doing well Angel, keep them away from me.. I will do my best to free myself of these.” His voice felt strained, cut off with a cough as he wriggled free–even if every brittle bone in his body had begged him to just lay there and rest.

You thanked him silently, continuing to work away at the critters who were highly determined in their goal to possess DogDay and resume their chase to kill you. “I am free! Quickly now Angel, quickly.” He ushered you forward to run right away, you picked him up as soon as he had done so and heaved him over your shoulders with a heavy breath as a display of your efforts. To say he was surprised at your willful strength was an understatement, he silently applauded you for your strength to keep moving.

Though, it hadn’t removed any of his worry for you as you continued to run forward, your muscles straining to keep up with your mind. From what he can understand of humans anyway, you were exhausted, though he felt it wasn’t right to speak out on it anyway–safety first before talking. 

“Almost there, Angel.. You just need to get to that elevator over there!” He jabbed his finger in the direction you needed to go, and you went on instinct with his direction. Your muscles ached and burned, but you could rest as soon as you reached the elevator, you couldn’t risk DogDay being left behind helpless with the small critters.

Speaking of which, they were still chasing you and your new companion. You wished they stopped, but you had considered an aforementioned thought, they only do this to ensure their fate wasn’t like his. Since then this has wildly changed.

You were close to the edge.

Then, you leaped, everything seemed to slow down. DogDay held on tightly, hands wrapped around your neck secured tight, to you it seemed comforting in the depths of your sudden despair.

You dropped right onto the metal plate, which luckily had railing. The door shut right behind you as DogDay had quickly made action to press the button to start up the elevator nor long after you had succeeded in jumping to the elevator. He slumped with a sigh, something you could very much agree with, sitting down with a thump following in your wake. 

Truth be told, you weren’t sure of how much more you could take much more of this nightmare. You may just as well be in a very long dream, and you were just actually sleeping at home, but no way however as the exhaustion had finally settled into your bones. 

Weary bones creaked about as DogDay made an effort to check over your slumped body, wanting to ensure you were not injured anywhere before he spoke, “Whatever questions you have..” He paused for a moment as if he were considering his words, something of which seemed to happen to a lot of people and toys alike in this Factory. “I will answer, rest for now first.”

DogDay was being his typical self, always so worried over someone else before considering his own health. His own legs being severed must be a great deal of pain, you wanted to ask him to rest too. Yet, you were too tired to respond, only nodding curtly as sleep had stolen you away from your awakened consciousness. 

A genuine smile seems to relax DogDay’s expression, you sorely needed rest. He would help you get that rest, things to talk about and things to face would come later. “You have done impossible things, you have run far. Thank you.” He quietly spoke, curling up to cuddle you. 

His head laid to rest on the crown of your head, hands and arms elongating ever so slightly to surround you in his warmth. DogDay was a leader, a friend, but he was also a good napping buddy. That much was certainly no lie to be told. 

Silence seemed to fill his ears now, sleep was creeping up to DogDay as well. Ah, he cannot sleep right now. You were in his care and vulnerable, especially considering you had gone through the trouble of freeing him. 

To those tormented, the madness had enraged man and toy, you were their saving graces. Someone they could get behind, without the utmost support where would you be now?

“Night has fallen, but for you I will do my absolute best to help you, Angel.”

Sweetie also has a very large dog named Lacey who can see The Caller

The Caller is a Stealth

Angel and Guy are siblings! :D

Adding onto that, Angel and Guy were both theatre kids, and they always did shows together

Angel doesnt have a filter, so theyre always saying unhinged shit. Baabe says unhinged shit too, but they do have a filter, so when they start yapping it sounds very out of pocket and very out of character (it scares Asher sometimes)

Milo and Sweetheart have had their neighborhood's HOA called on them multiple times for hanging pride flags from their house

Coworker and Kody are related (second cousins)

Obscura enjoys horror games, specifically Poppy Playtime and The Intruder. They also like Buckshot Roulette a lot

Treasure is THEE The Orion Experience fan. mf will not shut up about them (self-projection moment)

Porter likes tea. (before you say anything, hear me out) He specifically likes yaupon green tea and chamomile tea. The british tea jokes do get old, and hes had to restrain himself from strangling Vincent and Alexis multiple times before

The listener from the infamous April Fools audio actually had informed unempowered status🧍

Warden is a qualified professional therapist and teacher for children with special needs, specialised in autism. They also enjoy knitting things for their charges

Starlight has four planaria worms that they keep in a jar on their desk (they ominously refer to them as their sons)

Doc has a kitty. just a lil guy. doesnt know what a politic is, doesnt want to know what a politic is. just wants to be lil. Hush likes him a lot.

Angel has a pet preying mantis that they have somehow kept alive for two years

Sweetheart is a Satanist (they gave Milo The Look at his "as above, so below" comment)

Asher regularly walks into a room only to stare at a wall, turn back around, and exit the room (ik that people do this occasionally, but he does it on a daily basis)

Sometimes, Freelancer will experience the worst stinging shoulder blade pain known to man (due to spinal fusion surgery). Gavin always panics when this happens, cuz he'll be in another room and all of a sudden feel a wave of agony go through Freelancer, paired with an anguished "AUGH MY SHOULDER BLADES" (this is based on personal experience btw)

Headcanons fore catnap from poppy playtime?

Tiny Toon Version:

-Is asleep most of the time and is awake in small spurts throughout the day, is mostly dragged along on adventures by friends.

-Him speaking sounds like squeaky meows that the other Smiling Critters can understand but the audience cannot.

-When he *is* awake, he gets the most extreme zoomies.

-During an intersection of Playtime co's adoption campaign and the cartoon run, lots of posters and a script was made about Dogday being adopted by Catnap's family, but for some reason the episode was never made, let alone aired.

-His home has at least three music boxes always playing in it.

-After the toy Catnap was recalled, the In-Show Catnap disappeared without fanfare or anything, which was made all the more jarring as he disappeared in the middle of Season 2.

Big Toy Version:

-Lonely, but is extremely uncomfortable being with people.

-Toy puberty was a bitch and he'll feel body dysmorphia when he's in places where it's easy for humans to move around in but hard for big body toys to.

-Never feels his actual size.

-While all of the others were 'heretics' and therefore either all needed to be killed or kept barely alive as a message, he keeps Dogday alive because his relationship with him is a lot more complex than his relationship with the other Big Body Smiling Critters. (Dogday still can't tell if him keeping him alive was done out of mercy or spite.)

-It's uncomfortable for him to stand on his hind legs but he'll do it during worship sessions anyway.

-Engages in zoomies and in his case it looks terrifying.

-His body naturally produces substances that even the Hat man would fear. Harvest his blood and drink it and you're out like a light in seconds but having the most insane nightmares ever. ...If you survive that is.

-One time he drew what he'd think he'd look like if he grew up as a human.

-He watches the Smiling Critters cartoon when he has free time, but only the season and a half that doesn't have Catnap in it.

-Tries to bury any regrets that pop up in his worship, he made his choices and its decades late to un-make them.

we need to bully minors out of adult fandoms

I... have thoughts on this. The primary one being, where on earth did this come from? I'm just a little guy. A little scrimblo. A funky, mentally ill little dude who wants to smooch some fictional characters and writes about it. Why... did you come to my inbox for this?

Second thought: I originally was just going to delete this and move on with my day, but sure, I'll bite. Mainly because I do post NSFW content and have "minors, stay away" disclaimers on those posts. It may be wise to make my views on this clear for anyone who comes to my blog.

My opinion in short can be summed up very quickly.

Don't bully people. Just. Don't. It costs nothing to simply not harass others.

That being said, I do agree minors don't belong in adult spaces.

My in-depth thoughts are below the cut for those who care what one random person on the internet thinks.

Overall, the internet has become a dangerous and unfiltered space for young minds. However, it is not on the strangers of the internet to enforce the safety of minors, but their parents. We can post disclaimers and warnings. We can say "Hey! This isn't good for you! Please stay away and protect your own safety!" But ultimately, it is not our job to pick up swords and cut down every child on Tumblr and Reddit because we don't want them there.

If you post adult content or simply don't want kids interacting with your stuff there's only so much you should do. Tag everything. Put a disclaimer and warning in your bio. Block any minor you find interacting with your content.

Do not harass them. Do not get angry with them. Do not bully them. Not only will they not listen, but you'll only make them spiteful of genuine-intended warnings.

I'm an aunt who has helped raise my nieces and nephews since they were born. A lot of times, they'll hear me talking with their eldest brother who is now an adult about things like Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. They'll ask me why they can't watch it yet or why I don't like that their parents let them play horror games like FNAF and Poppy Playtime. Rather than telling them "Because you're too young" and cutting it off there, I explain it to them. I tell them why the content is harmful at their age. I've done the research to explain to them scientifically the damage it does to their developing brains. I explain to them that adult content isn't meant for them and if they wait until they're an adult, they'll actually enjoy it more because by then, it may be relatable.

We were all kids at one point who thought we knew better than everyone else. As adults, a lot of us still do. No one likes to be told no. No one responds well to aggressive behavior from those trying to prove why they're right.

You can explain. You can tag. You can set your own boundaries. But no good will ever come out of harassing anyone just to prove to them why you're right.

And with that, I'm off to write some depraved self-insert content with a silly TV man with the emotional integrity of a plastic fish. Cheers!

[eradicatetehnormal]

Something I like about this site is that in spite of its onvious arg-ness, you can tell that the creator genuinely loves children shows and puppet shows. They could've went full horror on the first page and tried to freak us out immediately, but they took the time to sit down and create a fake, yet immersive show that I could've seen being real and watching as a kid.

I feel like I can predict some of the potential story beats, but the quality of this is so good, I almost don't care.

Technically it's not doing anything special. I think the reason why I'm so hyped for it is because of how "children's horror" (nostalgia-based horror, (M3gan, Poppy playtime, FNAF)) has been taking a nose drive in terms of quality and story telling. I just hope that whatever's in store is well-executed.

❝ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 ? . . . 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 ! ( poppy playtime verse )

PP   has   become   my   lifeline   as   of   late   so   Jamie   is   getting   a   verse   as   well   ! Chapter   3   spoilers   ahead towards the end   !

Following   the   FNAF   6   location   incident,   Jamie   was   brought   in   to   be   gaslit   and   lied   to   by   their   therapists   and   subsequently   experimented   on   as   usual.   However,   this   time   it's   different!   This   time   they're   being   run   into   the   ground   by   Doctor   Sawyer   --   though   they   don't   know   his   name   when   they're   being   tested.   When   that   doesn't   work,   Faz   Ent   decides   to   cut   their   losses   and   send   them   to   a   facility   they're   partnered   with.   

Playtime   Co.

Now,   on   the   outside,   Playtime   Co.   seems   like   a   dream.   A   high   quality   facility   that   really   cares   about   people,   about   children,   and   about   the   quality   of   their   toys.   Still   shaken   up   from   having   to   deal   with   haunted   animatronics,   Jamie   delightfully   takes   the   offer   from   Playtime   Co.   and   agrees   to   work   there.

Jamie   is   kept   on   the   top   levels,   not   permitted   into   the   deeper   wings   but   not   really   minding   either.   Whatever   is   going   on   there   is   probably   just   Corporate   type   stuff,   though   they   were   incredibly   interested   in   coming   on   as   someone   to   offer   their   designs   to   the   company.   Which   is   something   they   brought   up   to   their   supervisor   while   being   shown   around,   to   which   they   laughed   fondly   and   stated   that   Playtime   Co.   is   always   looking   for   new   talent   --   fresh   meat!   

Jamie   didn't   realize   what   that   meant   then.

Jamie   works   there   as   a   supervisor   over   quality   control   and   is   very   specific   about   it.   Over   time,   I   think   they   may   have   felt   a   little   safer   about   going   to   visit   their   family.   Especially   because   they   weren't   aware   of   the   partnership   between   the   two   facilities   and   thought   perhaps   Faz   Ent.   was   simply   done   with   them.

The   Hour   of   Joy   occurs   while   they're   gone,   and   they   don't   understand   what's   going   on   when   they   return   to   work   their   first   day   back.   The   entire   place   is   blocked   off,   shut   down,   and   they   never   figure   out   what   happened   there.   What   happened   to   everyone.

But   they   have   a   sneaking   suspicion   it   isn't   as   simple   as   a   "gas   leak"   or   something.   

Years   later,   their   conscience   finally   getting   to   them,   they   decide   to   venture   back   into   the   facility   and   find   the   horrors   that   await   there.   Riddled   with   guilt,   they   head   in   deeper   and   deeper.   They   don't   exactly   trust   Poppy   at   first,   but   when   she's   yanked   away   by   that   strange   thing   their   conscience   won't   allow   them   to   just   wait   it   out   or   try   to   find   another   way   to   leave.   

Despite   how   rough   around   the   edges   they   are,   they   slowly   begin   to   realize   what's   going   on   here   and   the   deeper   they   go,   the   more   horrified   they   are   by   what   they   find.   The   words   spoken   by   Mommy   Long   Legs   in   the   Statues   game   haunts   them,   and   hits   them   deep.

"      ...   But   you   used   to   work   here,   if   anyone   deserves   to   die   it's   you.   "

Chapter   3   spoilers   ahead   !

Jamie   most   certainly   tries   to   save   DogDay   and   CatNap.   Desperate   to   help   them   and   distrusting   of   Ollie   in   spite   of   how   he's   helped   them.   It   takes   a   while   for   Jamie   to   trust   anyone   as   that   much   is   clear   but   it's   only   because   of   how   untrustworthy   other   people   have   proven   to   be.   

But,   as   time   goes   on,   and   they   see   the   tragedy   that's   unravelled   here   under   their   nose.   And   the   toys   look   on   in   hope   --   in   spite   of   the   massive   amount   of   imposter   syndrome   that   they   have,   they   decide   to   press   on.

After   the   DogDay   encounter   and   CatNap   bossfight   things   are   most   certainly   personal.   The   Prototype   is   something   most   likely   huge,   an   amalgamation   beyond   their   size   and   strength.   

But   they   have   to   try,   stubbornly   and   stupid   and   as   much   of   a   fools   errand   it   feels   like.   They   have   to   try.

About Poppy Playtime. (5-9-22)

TL; DR before we start; MOBGames is continuing to say horrendous and blatantly false shit (detailed below), and therefore I won't be purchasing any more Chapters, or other related content and merch. I encourage others to do the same.

Zach and Seth Belanger

Circa 2018, Zach Belanger (CEO of MOBGames) had been verbally picking apart Ekrcoaster's animations in the MOBGames discord server, and Animation Sins (run by MOBGames) was continuing to feature his videos on their channel when he had specifically asked them to stop. YouTuber theft king went in and confirmed with discord user Faint Turnip (who still had Zach on their friends list) that these statements are legitimate [Timestamp: 1:00.] The insults directed towards Ekrcoaster included these lovely gems:

So Zach was saying spiteful, vitriolic shit to a kid that had come to work for him. Charming.

There's more.

Zach posted an official apology statement to the Poppy Playtime Discord on May 3rd. 

They started the NFT’s because everyone else was doing it. They did rectify the situation appropriately, but their initial judgement was downright idiotic.

“Ethan (Ekrcoaster) was rightfully upset, and told his fans that Animation Sins (run by MOBGames) was bullying him.” You were. You were bullying him. 

What future endeavors? He isn’t involved in the animation community he started in anymore because of you.

Meanwhile, Seth Belanger (CCO) made a similar statement on May 4th addressing additional controversies surrounding MOBGames.

"That character is not portrayed to be a minor in our videos or in the FNAF games themselves."

SHE IS A CHILD IN THE GAMES. THIS IS BLATANTLY FALSE.

Furthermore, you didn't change anything about her design in your videos that "made her an adult." You gave her double D’s and called it good. Don’t feed your fans these fucking bullshit claims. It's so insulting.

Seth also cites the “online negativity surrounding our past” as the reason their employee’s morale is being hurt. So instead of taking the accusations seriously, you’re going to blame it on people who are calling you out? I suppose I shouldn’t expect anything better, given your previous statement. 

Closing thoughts;

I love the game itself, (almost everything about it,) and the other hardworking people involved. But the way everything has been swept under the rug, ESPECIALLY with the release of Chapter 2, is atrocious.

I'm so tired of this.

Fun fact for the Return AU: Sam has a website! Here's the main page text:

Welcome to The Playco Archive!

This is an archive dedicated to documenting the mysterious incidents either occurring at or in connection to the Playtime Company.

Founded in 1930 and situated near the town of Alexandria, IL, Playtime Co. was a toy manufacturing company that dominated the market from the 1950s to the early 1990s. You might recognize some of their big name products – Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, Bron, and of course, Poppy Playtime herself. They were also known for their Foster and Adoption Care Initiative, which incentivized workers to take on legal guardianship of orphaned children to be housed and cared for in the factory’s on-site orphanage, Playcare.

You might also be familiar with their controversies, ranging from the awful but mundane to disturbingly bizarre.

The most well documented part is the endless lawsuits. As early as 1955, the company had been faced with near endless legal battled with employees current and former, over various complaints of unsafe work conditions, wage theft, and workplace harassment. In 1982, they had to recall the Owen the Oven toy for causing third degree burns on the children that played with it, and in 1990 the company was forced to pull a character from its Smiling Critters line, CatNap, for expelling a chemical that induced violent nightmares in children.

Additionally, the company has been linked to a number of disappearances and mysterious deaths, though admittedly reporting and records on these are scarce. The most well known case is that of the day the factory shut down, in which hundreds of people disappeared en masse out of seemingly nowhere during operational hours. In spite of pressures from the families of those reported missing, the company has still yet to come forward with any explanation at all as to what happened.

In fact, the more I look, the more it seems like the entire company just up and vanished the day the factory shut down.

The purpose of this archive is to provide an all-in-one resource for the controversies of the Playtime Company, as well as a venue for the friends and families of the lost to tell their stories where they may have been ignored or silenced by mainstream media.

[Not to spoil my own AU, but let's just say, there's a good reason Playtime Co. hasn't silenced Sam's investigation attempts. It may or may not have something to do with their business partners overseas and Leith Pierre's interesting decision to move operations to Chicago.]

⚠️ Governments are infiltrating gaming, Poppy Playtime government operation

In spite of how hard I've prepared to spot and defend myself from the infiltration of moralism into every single domain on the planet, the enemy is faster and more perverse than even I had anticipated. Today I found out about a shocking case I would have never imagined possible, involving a series I had no idea was connected to those things in any shape or form.

Most of you probably heard of the game Poppy Playtime and either bought it or watched a playthrough. I'm sure that just like me, you thought this was an indie horror game like thousands of others, created by a random person on the internet for fun and maybe money. I became somewhat suspicious when I noticed how unusually popular it's getting, but shrugged it off as it just being a good game. Yet I was awfully wrong: This series is not truly an indie game. It's created by a multinational company with potential ties to government, part of an attempt to push new hysteria into society then use it to instate more control through fear. I don't know if this was intended from the beginning or the game was later used by secret services, I'm leaning toward the first option but like many things we'll likely never know.

Here's what actually happened: Just like Hasbro with MLP, the corporation behind Poppy Playtime has a line of toys being sold worldwide... as in physically sold in stores not just online with overseas shipping like custom mugs or T-shirts (some indie projects can afford that). The twist here is that the toy of their main character Huggy Wuggy has been designed to look horrifying. In a normal world this would be perfectly normal and in good fun (like many other things): In the dark fantasy we call reality, state sponsored media has been using the toy to claim that children are being possessed and losing their minds, becoming depressed going insane and chanting about murder. The series is being used to further superstition about children being magically affected by everything they see... a concept already out of control over the past decades and used to promote aggressive age discrimination, conventionally against NSFW content for which their hatred burns brightest but they're trying to expand it to more things.

In theory I first heard about this last week when someone linked to an online article. My mistake was presuming it must have been some local news agency talking about random stuff so they can pump out an article for the day; It was discussing this phenomenon in Britain, knowing the Tory government is batshit insane and sees monsters everywhere it didn't even come as a surprise. That is until today, when it was suddenly on national television even here in Romania: Journalists were yelling hysterically that parents must protect their children from the "spooky toy with teeth" that's making kids depressed and murderous. A host even brought one of the plushies in the studio and started talking about Huggy Wuggy, making fun of the situation but at the same time fueling the madness. It was a shock to realize what was just put together once again.

It's worth noting that if we're talking about gaming in general, this isn't even the first attack of its sort: The system recently brought its classic game of "good cop bad cop" to gaming, infiltrating "Nazis" in games like COD or Minecraft having them say Nazi stuff then pretending they're terrified by what they just discovered and games must be brought under state control to stop extremism. A.K.A. The exact tactic the system used to ultimately take over social media and regulate platforms. It's real bad and worst of all it's happening extremely fast with too few people willing to stand against the current.

To everyone still fighting for what's left of our freedom and free will: Please share this with others and remain extremely vigilant! The slavers launched a ruthless attack against everything that's still not under their control, we cannot be sure of anything any more. Without diving into anything specific that could get me in trouble, we know the recent years have given them huge momentum, after what they saw they can get away with they feel ready to make a total takeover. I don't know when and how it's all going to end but what's certain is that they're everywhere: Even games we thought were made by someone in a small apartment are (or become) part of government operations against cultural freedom. I know open-source software is going to be attacked eventually, don't know how to prepare to defend it or what I can even do... they'll want to get rid of Linux or browsers like Firefox in a few years, it gives us too much control over our own computers compared Windows / Mac OS which in their propaganda makes them tools for terrorists and child abusers. Remember to periodically backup everything... if you run a website create mirrors across as many countries as your finances allow, and keep in mind you may one day need to flee your country to keep your website up.

I will add one more thing: I'm suspecting that what happened to me in Xonotic might be part of the game's popularity causing it to fall under some degree of government influence like big games such as Fortnite. Over the past half year since I was kicked out of the project overnight for something I allegedly said on Facebook +3 years ago, I've been baffled at how something so absurd and devoid of logic can just occur. I might be going too far with this one, it could just be that team Xonotic was taken by people who don't know how to handle a large community and just resort to randomly banning whoever they don't like. Yet as operations like this come to light, nothing no matter how crazy seems off the table any more: I know the machinery will resort to every form of infiltration and trickery the sickest of minds can imagine.

Oh no, accidentally made another Poppy Playtime OC and boi is this one a doozy, here’s a sum up of who they are:

Imagine at some point during the game you notice a area that had various fallen debris blocking off a door, the weak pleading female voice inside being what catches your attention.

After a short one sided explanation she says that she had been a lower class worker who had also been called back to the factory, tho ended up locking herself in that room after being spooked by Huggy n some unnamed being… the offending fallen debris likely being caused by the mentioned creatures.

They are a bit bigger then you overall which is why they didn’t just use the small air vents that connected the two areas.

If you decide to do this optional side quest of sorts (likely in hopes of learning some lore, just being a good person, or because they supposedly had something you could use to continue your mission easier. you choose which 😉) upon entering the room by using the grab pack you spot the shabby makeshift bunker and shaken female within… along with a ID card that’s too dirty to read.

Turns out they don’t talk much and aren’t up for physical touch, which makes sense with her poor condition n touch related trauma,

She then follows you around either mentioning stuff they saw during their chase or pointing out little facts about the place, some details a little odder then others. Tho they happily help when there are tricky tasks.

Eventually Huggy or another toy starts chasing and the both of you run until you come across something that can only quickly be done by two people, they rush to their part only to hesitate before grinning oddly.

Upon seeing your confusion they gesture to the card and after finally rubbing off the grime your shocked to see them, looking the exact same as the 10+ old picture.

Turns out this girl was actually a shapeshifting sequin themed toy, imagine the scale like sequined flipping as her form shifts to something like this-sorry I suck at monster making and this is just a half assed doodle lol

(Best part is this isn’t her only possible form since she is a shape shifter, the only limit is size so if ya ever wanna make them you can go nuts)

After having a short monologue you have to flee from Huggy/etc and them, tho the cannon character will be there to make sure you keep moving then anything.

In the end after fighting n running she turns into you and attacks only to get accidentally picked up by the other monster giving you a first hand view of what exactly these things do once they caught you.

They get injured and tossed away before refocusing on you n from there it follows the plot once more… may end up editing this as more chapters come out but for now this gives a good look on how she is.

She was meant to be a sorta dress up doll, one that could look like anyone around them. She was a defect who ended up having a messed up body which ended in everyone forcing her to stay shape shifted at all times. They hated the real her and in the end she hated everyone for it, I imagine she had been pretty during your passive moments before the reveal but lord do she look creepy n warped otherwise 0-0

Anywho that’s all I got, hope you like them. I didn’t show their humanoid look Bro cus I like to keep it up for interp. Uwu

I can imagine them hating poppy… just ye, probably shifts to a ugly version sometimes just to spite n mock her cus she be a bit of a petty ass.
