Got busy this weekend and couldnt draw much so today I did this silly thing :3

Something sweet about the Prototype qwq I find it endearing those two would get so happy when the prototype is near while other toys would feel intimidated by them XD I will make more silly doodles about why Zero thinks so high of the Prototype in the future :D

Au by @asamary You should check their stuff :D!

Also Zero chirps when they are very happy (The only one who got to hear them is 1006 till now, Zero is a bit embarrased because he cannot control it but with 1006 he lowers his guard but also acts childish around him too HAHA)

Re-Purposed WIP --- After The Ch 3 Nightmare Sequence

There were faint noises happening over her head. Slight growls, warbles, and a low continuous sort of purring, Aislinn’s eyes fluttering open and closed as she tried to take stock. There were moving blobs of color on a dark backdrop, it taking a moment before her vision cleared and made the whole thing make some kind of sense. Firstly, Corcra had climbed on top of her and was purring, burying his face into the side of her head. Huggy was, not far away, though he’d definitely backed off a bit, looking around them. Staying on guard. Small flickers of color hinted at Bui, Liath, and Dubh huddled in close to Huggy’s somewhat crouched form. It was kind of funny to see, he almost looked like a mother cat with kittens.

ALL TOYS REACTIONS TO FINALLY HAVING A FRESH BATH AND MANY FRESH FOODS AFTER ESCAPING THE FACTORY

Along with them getting bandages and such for the wounds, etc. They'd be crying with tears of joy and thanking their angel a lot for it

(Prototype and Doctor is dead in that forsaken factory)

This! This ask is the kind of stuff that makes me love writing!

If you like my work, please consider commissioning me :)

Player who helped the toys in Safe Haven escape the factory

★ After the Player brings everyone into their house, an uneasy silence fills the room only drowned out by quiet murmuring. Nobody is sure what to do. Most had forgotten the warmth of a real home, having spent so long in a hostile environment.

★ Poppy is the first to speak. "Are…are you sure we can stay?" The Player nods, their gentle smile providing the comfort everyone needs. One of the other toys shyly asks, "Do you have snacks?"

★ They are all hungry, starving even. Fortunately for them the Player has a pantry stocked up with snacks. The toys, who had been surviving on scraps, are overwhelmed by the sight of so much food.

★ Since none of the toys know how to cook, the Player takes the lead in preparing a proper meal. It's been so long since they've had actual food. Not raw, questionably sourced, meat.

★ The kitchen becomes rather crowded, with the smaller toys peeking over countertops to watch the Player cook. Doey cried when he got a plate of food all to himself. It's been so long since him and his friends could all eat there fill without worries. No empty stomachs or dirty, unwashed plates.

★ Kissy was one of the last toys to enter the kitchen. She's hesitant, her eyes darting around the room, still not fully believing that they are truly safe. she examines each item in the room, curiosity getting the better of her.

★ She can feel her body relaxing for the first time in ages. The feeling of safety and comfort is almost surreal. Several of the other toys lean on her while getting comfy after their meal. A small cuddle pile forming.

★ You hate to ruin the fun, but all of them where in desperate need of bath. You couldn't let them stay dirty. By the time everyone is done getting washed up the bath water is a murky brown and the Player has run out of towels

★ The Player tends to any wounds, applying bandages when needed. Doey helps them with the band aid part. He doesn't think it's fair for the Player to do everything alone.

★ There is a lot of work to do before everyone feels some semblance of okay. Some of the scars won't fully heal, but that's a problem for tomorrow. It's been a long day and you need rest. Tonight, everyone is safe and sound, curled up in all the blankets you could find.

4 MORANT — POPPY PLAYTIME

SUMMARY: How the Poppy Playtime characters would react if the player somehow died in the factory after gaining their affections. PAIRINGS: The Doctor x Reader, Doey x Reader (platonic), Poppy x Reader (platonic), Kissy x Reader (platonic), Dogday x reader, Mommy Longlegs x reader.

THE DOCTOR

ꨄ When Harley hears the news of your death, he can’t help but feel the anger rise within his metallic body. He was ‘friends’ with the prototype—and Harley was one of the most powerful toys in the factory! How could this have happened so easily?

ꨄ Harley pushes himself back into his experiments, more motivated than ever. What experiments, you may ask? A solution to bring you back from the dead.

DOEY

ꨄ Angry. Kevin starts to come out as the other two wallow in frustration and self-regret. It doesn’t help that in Doey’s eyes, it’s all Poppy’s fault. She’s just ruined everything, hasn’t she? First safe haven and everyone inside, and now you?

ꨄ After you’re gone Doey more than likely turns into his rabid, monstrous form, consuming anyone (or toy) in his way. He Will avenge your death, with the others help or not.

POPPY

ꨄ Absolutely shocked. You had made it this far and she hadn’t expected you to die so easily, although she no doubt blames herself. Poppy would feel guilty about it. Maybe if she hadn’t pushed you so hard, you wouldn’t have lost focus and met your brutal end.

ꨄ But Poppy is a survivor, and to be a survivor in Playtime co. you have to push your emotions down—which is exactly what she does. She’ll never forget you though, no matter how hard she tries.

KISSY

ꨄ Absolutely heartbroken. To kissy, you were her best friend, and biggest supporter. She might not have been able to talk, but it was like you could just see what was going on behind those big, beady black eyes of hers. You truly saw her.

ꨄ Kissy constantly looks at one of the framed photos she has with you (kind of like what she did with that child in chapter three), never really allowing herself time to heal…

DOGDAY

ꨄ You were one of the strongest people he knew. You found him when he was chained up in the prison, stitched him up, and carried him away from the smiling critters. So when he hears the news of your death, he is more than a little surprised.

ꨄ I’d like to think Dogday grieves quietly. He seems mature enough to realize that crying won’t get him anywhere, but at the same time, he’s doing it alone in safe heaven when nobody is listening.

MOMMY LONGLEGS

ꨄ Incandescently enraged. After the hour of joy, you were one of the only people who didn’t fear her. Actually, she felt valued. You beat her challenges fair and square—which made her admittedly angry, but once you showed her kindness? She vowed to protect you.

ꨄ Once you’re gone, all the ‘beautiful emerald,’ as you had once called it, was gone from her eyes—leaving them charcoal black. Like Doey, she will feast on anyone in her way.

[modcroissant]

Welp, you asked, you shall receive!

First up let's start with the mains!

Upon befriending a main twisted, you'll gain the Intimidation Effect. The more mains you befriend, the higher the effect.

Intimidation can scare off any lesser twisteds away from either Boxten or Poppy (since the two are the only toons with the ability to befriend twisteds), keep in mind that this ability does not work on non-befriended main twisteds.

Each main twisteds has a buff depending on who you befriend; T. Astro can buff up your stealth, T. Vee can buff up your extraction speed, T. Pebble can buff up your stamina, T. Shelly can buff up your movement speed and T. Sprout can buff up your skillcheck.

They also sort of work like their toon counterparts! T. Astro can help you regenerate lost stamina faster, T. Vee can highlight twisteds and incomplete machines for long periods of time, T. Pebble can sniff out nearby items and twisteds; he will growl to alert a twisted's presence, T. Shelly can make your extraction speed faster if she's near you and T. Sprout can heal you once you collect enough tapes.

But this doesn't just benefit you, it also benefits your teammates depending on the toon they play as! For example; if a teammate plays as a Cosmo, T. Sprout will be protective and follow the Cosmo player after either Boxten or Poppy dies, passing the intimidation effect onto them.

There is a downside though. Once you befriend a twisted main, twisteds will target you first; this would be annoying to deal with if the twisted is a non-befriended main.

Next part are the rares so look forward for that!

He deserves the world

I'm a little bit late, but I hope you all had a great valentines day!

I also wanted to thank you all for all the support you have been giving me lately, it makes me really happy to see my art being so appreciated <3

[sixeyesonathiel]

there's something so insane to me about florist!satoru who finds you bleeding in his poppy field, your wings shredded and trembling, your body crumpled like a fallen star among the flowers.

a soft gasp escapes his lips as he kneels beside you, petals clinging to your bloodied feathers like they, too, mourn your fall. he carries you home like a porcelain saint he prayed into existence, arms gentle yet possessive, whispering sweet apologies to god as he touches the wreckage he caused.

he wraps your wings in gauze laced with lavender and crushed petals, as though trying to preserve what holiness remains. he lays you in a bed of silk and feathers, one he prepared long before he ever found you, as though he'd been waiting for you—not by chance, but by prophecy. fireflies flit lazily in the dim light of the room, their glow catching in his pale eyes like starlight. he puts flower crowns on the remains of your halo and hums lullabies like you're a baby bird that just needs a little time. and he says,

"i'll help you heal, little dove. just stay here for a while. stay with me."

and you do. because you can't leave.

because your wings won’t lift. because your body doesn’t remember flight. because he says heaven cast you out and the sky no longer wants you. he shows you the scars across your shoulder blades with a sad smile and tells you how cruel divinity can be, brushing over the ridged skin with a tenderness that feels like a secret.

and maybe he’s right. maybe this strange little town with its eternal dusk and red poppies and glassy-eyed people is the best you’ll get. maybe this is your new eden. your new cage. maybe all that's left for a broken angel is the mercy of a man who smells like peonies and always smiles too wide. a man who plucks your feathers when you sleep and sings you lullabies to forget.

he feeds you sugared fruit and weaves thornless roses into your hair. he brushes your feathers with fingers so gentle they feel like prayers, whispered between the petals. the way he breathes near your nape, just a little too slow, makes your skin crawl. he never raises his voice. he never stops smiling. you're not allowed to open the windows. he says the air outside would sting too much.

but sometimes you wake up shaking. your wings ache. your soul aches. something about the fall feels wrong. your dreams twist with static and light—you remember a flash of blue. the scent of burning flowers. laughter as sharp as broken glass. your body hits the earth. silence. you remember hands not catching you—but letting go.

you try to ask questions, but he cups your face and says,

"angels don’t need to remember pain, only love."

and sometimes you catch him staring. not lovingly. hungrily. reverently. like he earned you. like he deserves you. like you are both prize and penance. a miracle he cultivated with blood and bone and time. his pupils dilate when you tremble. he tilts his head when you try to stand.

there are jars of feathers in his shop, sealed tight and labeled in cursive. none of them are white. they glint strangely under the sunlight, like they've been lacquered to never decay. your name is carved into wood behind the altar of his workspace, the edges scorched. a poppy with thorns grows in a vase that only he tends—its petals the same shade as your blood.

and maybe the reason your wings won’t heal isn't because you’ve fallen.

maybe it's because he dragged you down made sure you would never fly again.

and he calls it love.

after all, is blind reliance not what love is?

@into-the-jeggyverse, january 25, luck words: 955, cw: blood, but nothing too explicit

Yes, Regulus was aware that he had a bit of a crush on James Potter. After all, the guy was warming up to him fast. It was terrifying to admit, but after spending some time with James—not by his choice, mind you—they could maybe even call each other friends. It was unavoidable, though, because James was everywhere. And if he wasn’t, he’d always find a way to be.

Like right now.

Regulus had been helping Madam Pomfrey these past few days. It all started one random afternoon while he was delivering potions for Slughorn. After admitting that he was interested in becoming a healer, Pomfrey offered him the chance to learn basic healing spells under her guidance, and he agreed. So far, his duties were simple; some minor injuries, like a scraped knee, a bruised elbow, or a first-year’s sprained ankle after tripping on the moving staircase.

What he hadn’t anticipated, though, was how often his idiot brother and his even more idiotic friends would show up. They were in the hospital wing more often than clumsy first-years after flying lessons.

And here he is. James Potter. Bursting through the doors still fully dressed in quidditch gear, grinning ear to ear despite the blood oozing from his forehead. A Gryffindor-themed towel was pressed against the wound, doing nothing to stop the bleeding. Regulus swore his heart skipped a beat—whether from the sight of the blood or the way James’ shirt clung to his torso was debatable.

“Madam Pomfrey! I think I need stitches!” James exclaimed, glancing around for her.

“She’s not here,” Regulus sighed, and James’ eyes finally landed on him.

Moving the towel for a moment, James revealed a cut slicing through his eyebrow. Thankfully, it wasn’t that bad, and it missed his eye entirely.

James’ grin somehow grew wider. Regulus was already regretting being here today.

“Reggie! I didn’t know you were in today,” James said cheerfully, jumping to sit on one of the beds, his feet swinging like an overexcited toddler. Regulus refused to admit that it was adorable. In fact, James and the word adorable had no business being in the same sentence.

“She went to get some potions. Barely anyone’s been in today. She’ll be back soon,” Regulus explained, turning his attention back to organizing the supply cabinet.

“Well, aren’t you training to be a healer? I know you can heal this; it has to be easier than Sirius’ broken nose last week!”

Yes, but Sirius is his brother. Regulus didn’t care if he fucked up his nose. It might’ve even been funny, considering how much Sirius loved to brag about it.

James, though? That was a different story entirely. There was no way Regulus could risk getting so close to him. He was terrified James might suddenly look at him and realize: Oh, so you’ve got bit of a crush on me, huh? And Regulus can’t have that happening.

“I’m not doing anything without Pomfrey’s approval. I haven’t perfected the stitching charms yet, and that looks like a nasty cut,” Regulus lied.

All of that was a lie. Regulus had already handled worse injuries without her. The cut wasn’t even that bad; the blood was only flowing because James was still sweating from practice. His body was literally, and figuratively, hot.

“It’s not that bad! Just a bit deep. C’mon, Reg, at least clean it up,” James pleaded, a cute pout on his face. He’d taken off his glasses and was now holding the towel across his right eye, somehow managing to look ridiculously endearing.

“Fine,” Regulus muttered, utterly defeated. James wasn’t going to leave him alone, so he might as well make himself useful.

“But I’m not stitching it up. You’ll have to wait for Poppy. I’ll just stop the bleeding and clean it up for her.”

He rolled over the medical trolley and stopped it in front of James, positioning himself between James’ sprawled knees. Grabbing gauze and alcohol, he prepared to clean the wound.

“Hi,” James said, smiling down at him. His dimples popped, and his grin was somehow even more genuine than usual.

Regulus felt the blush creeping up his cheeks but refused to show weakness.

“Hi, idiot.”

And there it was—that beautiful fucking laugh.

“Aren’t you going to ask what happened?”

“Something, something, Sirius accidentally hit you with his bat,” Regulus guessed, not bothering to look up. It wasn’t a difficult assumption; the two of them were a disaster in the air, always bickering and pushing each other.

“Hey, how did you know?”

“You’re predictable,” Regulus sighed, starting to dab at the wound with alcohol. James winced.

“That stings!”

“Don’t be a baby. It’s what you get for being careless,” Regulus muttered absentmindedly, still focused on cleaning the cut.

“Aw, do you care about me, Reggie?” James teased, leaning back to look him in the eye.

Regulus felt the heat rising again and glared at him. “Don’t be ridiculous. And stop calling me that, Potter. I told you I hate that nickname.”

Grabbing James by the shirt, he tugged him back into place to finish his work. Desperately trying to hide how flustered he was.

“Alright, alright,” James relented, settling down.

Finally, some silence. Regulus worked quickly, trying to ignore the way James’ knees kept brushing his sides, sending tingles up his spine.

After finishing the cleaning and stopping the bleeding with a quick charm, Regulus stepped back.

“There. You’re done,” he said, moving the trolley away from James’ reach before he could cause more problems.

“Aww, thanks, Reg. Aren’t you going to clean the rest of my face?” James asked, his tone playful, his cheeks still covered with dried blood.

Regulus shot him a glare. “Don’t push your luck, Potter.”

Poppy’s Heal to Help Chapter 5 - Don’t Closer To Me!

[Fade to the bookshelf on the living room in the dark of Home where Frank walks to it as he pulls a red book with eye on the spine, the bookshelf split to half as open the secret room as Frank enters it. Cut to inside the secret room with the lightbulbs, Frank walks in calmly as it's like 5 minutes and looks in the far distance at Howdy on the electric chair as he is tied up while he is still unconscious as along a table in front of him, Frank sighs and walks to Howdy.]

Frank: Hey, Howdy. Wally and I make a Balance Potion for Poppy. While Wally gets the ingredients and... (Hisses while starting to get nervous.) Don't you get stressed about him while you think he steals the apples, also... (Groans in worry.) I'm spying on you...! While you are doing anything!

Poppy: (offscreen) Frank? Where are you?

Frank: I'm coming out! (To Howdy, quietly) But I'm taking care of her while I protect you. (Kisses Howdy's cheek, then walks away.) Good luck, Howdy-Howdy.

[Cut to the kitchen of Howdy's Place/Bugdega where Wally mixes a Balance Potion on the bowl, he puts the pieces of green crystal on it, then mixes it until he hears a phone ring. He walks to Howdy's rotary wall phone to call and speak it as a split screen to him on the left side, and Frank on right side who sits on the sofa while holding Wally's rotary phone in his ear while he speaks.]

Frank: (whispers) Wally!

Wally: Frank? Why did you call me?

Frank: I'm getting worried about Howdy, they're testing on him! (Wally gasps quietly.) Also, I just ask you about Balance Potion.

Wally: Yes, it's almost done.

Frank: (hears voice from the 2nd floor, whispers) Good! But we've got a problem!

[Screen wides to Wally's side while Frank mutters quietly, then Wally starts to be shocked.]

Wally: WHAT?!

Frank: (in Howdy's rotary wall phone) Trust me! It's getting worse.

[Cut to the secret room of Home, Howdy starts to wake up while groaning.]

Howdy: Ouch! That hurt on my neck! Ow! (Shocks and looks around the secret room, then looks at himself on the electric chair as start struggle.) Where am I?! Hello! Anyone here? (Hear footsteps in echoes to stop struggles.) Oh no...

[Cut to Frank and Poppy walking in silhouette glowing to their clothes, eyes, and dips of hair in front of Howdy which start to scare and gulp as Frank and Poppy start to walk him.]

Frank: Howdy, we're gonna examine you.

Howdy: (in thought while looking at Frank and Poppy) Oh no! That reminds me of the first day I went to the dentist when I was a kid!

Poppy: All right, Howdy. Let's do this!

Frank: Guys! Come down here!

Howdy: (speaks out in shocked confusion) What?!

[Cut to Barnaby, Julie, Sally, and Eddie walking in the shadow, they open their eyes in glowing green while Frank and Poppy barely smile and Howdy starts trembling and sweating in fear.]

Howdy: (whispers) I'm SO screwed up to me!

Poppy: Guys! Howdy has a major problem today while he just ignores it to hide his pain.

Eddie: I see...

[Barnaby, Julie, Sally, and Eddie walk out of the shadows to reveal they are wearing hospital outfits and holding boxes each one of them while they walk to Frank, Poppy, and Howdy. Howdy starts his eyes getting wide while they're closer to him, Frank and Poppy.]

Julie: Don't worry! (She holds a knife from a box which her friends are surprised and scared.) I've got an idea about that!

Frank: No! Don't use this! (Takes a knife from Julie.) Julie! That's too dangerous to use! (Puts it on the table while Howdy looks at it.) We need tools to use on him, in less violence and pain.

Julie: (groans) Fine.

Howdy: (slowly talking while growing nervous) Uh... Poppy? What did you do to them?

Poppy: I infected them by eating these cookies. (Holds up Cookies of Wally and Frank on a Silver Serving Tray.) But one missing cookie was you, Howdy.

Howdy: Oh no. What kind of it? Like Frank did to us, the mind's controlled with their calmness by butterflies.

Poppy: Oh, that. I made them with their support by cookies.

Howdy: (shouts while shocked) WHAT?! (Six Neighbors cover their ears.) THAT'S WHAT YOU DID TO THEM?!

Frank: Ow! You made my eardrums break as it hurt on me!

Eddie: Yeah, like I shouted at you at the magic show.

Frank: (uncover his ears along with his friends) I know, Eddie. I know.

Poppy: Howdy! You just ignore your problem while you're in despair!

Howdy: (frustrated) I've already told you, guys! I...am...fine!

Frank: But you looked like you're been stressed out!

Howdy: That's not my major problem!

Poppy: Then settled, let's get started!

[Cut to Howdy getting more trembling and sweating in fear and his eyes getting wider while the shadows cover him.]

Howdy: I'm surrounded by infected horrified people! (Screaming in echo.)

[Cut to Wally walking out of Howdy's Place/Bugdega, he holds a Balance Potion in an erlenmeyer flask.]

Wally: Nice! It's done! Wow! He's a lot of mathematical equations in his notebook! Like...he's so knowledgeable about math. (Hears Howdy's scream from Home as he starts to be worried.) Howdy?! Oh no! I'm coming!

[Wally runs to inside Home, then a secret room where he starts surprising Howdy who got a bandage taped around him except his eyes while he got traumatized as trembling as still on the electric chair while Barnaby, Julie, Frank, Sally, and Eddie feel disturbed, and Wally walks to Howdy.]

Wally: Guys! What have you done to him!

Frank: I wasn't with them! They tested him with "violence" tools. (Fairly glares at Julie who chuckles nervously.) Also, he kept screaming as tried to escape from us.

Wally: (looks around) Where's Poppy?

Frank: She's in her barn as she's making a cookie to give-- (Realized and shocked.) Oh no! (Walk closer to Wally, whispers.) She's making a cookie for Howdy! She's in her barn!

Wally: (whispers) Oh no!

Frank: (whispers) Come on! Let's go! (He and Wally run out of a secret room while Five Neighbors look at them in surprise.)

Sally: They're going to Poppy!

Julie: Eddie, you keep your eyes on him!

Eddie: Yes!

Howdy: (mumbling and traumatized) WHAT?!

[Barnaby, Julie, and Sally run out of a secret as they leave Howdy and Eddie who start to look at each other while Eddie starts to smile at Howdy who gulps.]

Eddie: Let's talk about love between me and Frank as you and I are with each other.

Howdy: (screaming in mumbled) NOOO!

[Cut to the kitchen of Poppy's Barn in the dark, Poppy standing to wait while a cookie of Howdy baking in the oven. Wally and Frank run her in worried.]

Wally: Poppy! I found you!

Frank: Did you make a cookie for Howdy?

Poppy: Yes. And then... (Kitchen timer starts ringing.) ...it's done! (Press it to stop the ring, she wears oven mitts to open the oven and takes the cookie of Howdy on the tray out of the oven, then she closes it and puts the tray on the table as she, Wally and Frank look at it.) So...what's you think?

Frank: Honestly, it's nice. But Howdy is a caterpillar, he eats healthy greens only, Poppy.

Poppy: Don't worry. I added a flavor of healthy green on it with this. (Holds up a green favorable powder with a label that says "Healthy Greens".) He's gonna taste it.

Frank: Wow!

Wally: Yeah, it's nice. (Whispers to Frank.) Now, she's gonna into him!

Frank: (whispers) Let's go now! (He and Wally start to run but they are blocked by Barnaby, Julie, and Sally.) Guys?! What are you doing here?!

Julie: We just follow you when you're getting worried.

Frank: (pause to start realized) Where's Eddie?

Sally: He is staying with Howdy... At Home.

Frank: Oh no... Howdy! (Runs out Poppy's Barn.)

Wally: (surprised) Frank?! Frank! Wait!

[Wally starts to run, then Barnaby, Julie, and Sally, and lastly Poppy who holds Silver Serving Tray with a Cookie of Howdy. Cut back to Howdy and Eddie in the secret room of Home, Eddie looking at Howdy delightfully and Howdy getting more traumatic and twitching his right eye.]

Eddie: ...Then we're married and then went to celebrate.

Howdy: (in thought, worried) Please, kill me!

Eddie: Do you like my love story about me and Frank? (Howdy has no answer while still traumatic and twitching his right eye.) Howdy? Howdy?

[Cut to Frank running in Home, then living room as he pulls a red book with eye on the spine, the bookshelf split to half as open the secret room as Frank enters to run it while Five Neighbors follow him. Cut back to Eddie who uncovers Howdy's mouth as Howdy starts groaning in traumatized.]

Eddie: Say something, Howdy-Howdy!

Howdy: (screaming) I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

[Howdy smash and fall into Eddie to break the electric chair, he stands up and then runs off screaming while Eddie stands up and watches Howdy running away.]

Eddie: Howdy! (Grabs a baseball bat.) Stop running away from me! (Runs to follow Howdy.)

[Cut to Six Neighbors running in the hall of the secret room.]

Frank: Wow, Wally! Home has turned the secret room into a giant maze!

Wally: Yes. But it's only in the dark.

[Cut back to Howdy looking back at Eddie holding a baseball bat. Howdy stops running to the breaker box at a dead end of the path, then he looks at Eddie.]

Eddie: There's no escape... (Shouts happily.) Howdy-Howdy!

[Eddie swings a baseball bat into Howdy but misses him as Howdy dodges it into the breaker box which starts malfunctioning and then all lightbulbs are turned off while Eight Neighbors are surprised and paused in the dark while Wally, Frank, and Poppy glowing to their clothes, eyes, and dips of hair even Barnaby, Julie, Sally, and Eddie glowing green eyes. Cut back to Eddie drops the baseball bat and then hardly sees around.]

Eddie: Darn it! Howdy dodged it as I hitted into a breaker box! (Shocked as he got hit by someone behind him, dizzying.) Who hit me?

[Eddie knocked out and fell as revealed behind him is Howdy holding a baseball bat while he starts sobbing and trembling in fear as he feels despair.]

Howdy: (in despairing; sighs) That was so close!

Frank: (offscreen as echoes) I hear them! Follow me!

Howdy: (quietly in despair) Oh no! (Looks himself as takes bandage tapes from his body, then snaps his fingers which he got an idea.) That's it!

[Cut to Six Neighbors running in the hall in the dark, then they stopped by Frank.]

Frank: Hold on! I've my flashlight! (Holds a flashlight from his coat.) I bought a second one after it was stolen by someone. I don't remember who stole the first flashlight.

[Frank turns on a flashlight to shine the path, then they start walking until Frank moves his flashlight to the left side to shine it, he gasps and runs in while Five Neighbors follow him. Cut to Eddie still unconscious, Frank runs to him while Five Neighbors stop running and look at Frank holding Eddie.]

Frank: Eddie had passed out!

Five Neighbors: (gasps) Oh no!

Frank: I think probably Howdy did to him.

Poppy: I'll handle this for him, Frank.

Frank: Oh! You're the power of healing, right?

Poppy: Yup. (Puts her wing on Eddie as green aura into him, takes off.) There.

[Eddie gains consciousness as looks at his friends in confusion.]

Eddie: Why's everyone looking at me?

Frank: Eddie! (Hugs Eddie while laughing, then kisses his cheek.) You're okay!

Eddie: What's happened?

Frank: (let Eddie go from hugs) Howdy made you unconscious.

Eddie: What? Really?

Frank: Yes, he is. (Flashlight changes direction at behind without looking which Six Neighbors screams in horror. Frank starts confusion.) What? What's wrong, guys?

Sally: Look behind you.

[Frank turns around behind the flashlight's direction, he screams in horror. Cut to the breaker box as it is covered with blood red paint and bandage tapes, red words on the wall says: "DO NOT CLOSER TO ME!!" while Seven Neighbors looked horrified.]

Barnaby: Wow... Howdy starts going insane when in the dark.

[Seven Neighbors start to sink into realization to gasp and then run around in different directions; first Wally and Frank, then Poppy and Eddie, and lastly Barnaby, Julie and Sally while Barnaby, Frank, and Eddie hold the flashlights. Cut to Howdy running in despair while holding four handkerchiefs to wipe his tears while a baseball bat on his back, then it still comes out.]

Howdy: (whispers in despair) Wow! Secret room is turned into a big labyrinth! While in the dark! (Continue sobbing while he keeps running until he stops running to hear the familiar voices and footsteps.) Oh no!

[Howdy runs and turns to the right path while Poppy and Eddie pop out from the next path.]

Eddie: I swear! I heard his voice! He sounds like he's crying.

Poppy: We better hurry up! (She and Eddie run to the up path.)

[Cut back to Howdy walking slowly cautiously while he still feels despair.]

Howdy: (quietly in despair) That was a close one! I'm just quiet...without alarm.

[Suddenly, Howdy looks at the flashlight from the left side and he stays back to the door where four arms grab him covering his eyes and mouth, then drag him into the door as it closes itself.

Howdy: Look! That's not what you think!

Frank: Yeah. And also... What kind of thing was used when you wrote that? It's kinda creepy.

Wally: You think?

Frank: Probably.

Wally: So, Howdy. Do you like i-- (He and Frank are shocked Howdy already left out of the room.) Where is he going?!

Howdy: (turns around to Wally and Frank sharply) Huh?

Frank: You want it? (Points at a glowing teal paint in the test tube which Howdy's eyes start to dilate and feel happy.) That's it. Just toward the light.

[Howdy walks slowly to Wally and Frank while Wally stays back and Five Neighbors watching them worry. When Howdy gets closer to Frank as he takes a knife from Howdy, the Seven Neighbors sigh in relief.]

About Dark Phobia AU Select of Stories First Previous

[porcelaininkpot]

Miscellaneous DAMN Crew Headcannons >:}

Freelancer blocks people on Pinterest

Damien had one terrible experience with the nurses at DAMN and he's still not over it, and so does everything in his power to avoid going to the healers even when he really should

He's also gotten quite skilled at healing magic as a result

Lasko's glasses are in a constant state of being broken, the lens always popping out of the frame, so he's developed a habit where he taps his lens at random times just to make sure its still there

Huxley is capable of manipulating metal, but doesn't wanna bother with honing his skill because he prefers the greenery and flora aspect of earth magic

Gavin runs a DAMN gossip blog, a fair bit of the gossip is what Lasko accidentally spills while rambling

Caelum found out about cotton candy and made it his life mission to make his hair look as much like it as possible

Dear does aeral acrobatics in their spare time, Lasko is ensorceled and mystified every time he watches them practice

If Damien gets angry enough, he can go band for band with Lasko in terms of speaking speed

Damien always wanted piercings, but was worried they'd harm his professional career, it was Huxley that helped him let go of his hesitation and finally get his ears pierced. They held hands the whole time.

Huxley himself has a septum piercing.

Dear is the most eloquent speaker of the entire crew, and possibly the entire DAMN campus, they're one of the highest rated professors at the academy.

When Freelancer is bored, they intentionally create steam and fog up their windows so they can use their fingers to draw on them

Caelum once saw them do this and now insists they do it at least thrice a day so he can doodle

Gavin cannot sit still long enough to get his nails done, so he uses demon powers to shift his form and give himself naturally fabulous nails, whenever he does his he makes sure to go show off to Freelancer because their jealous angry pout is adorable

Huxley once had to return a size XXL compression shirt because it was too tight. Damien begged him not to.

Caelum once has unsupervised access to Freelancer's gaming pc and played Poppy Playtime thinking it was a cutesy roblox type game.

He didn't sleep for three nights afterward.

Then tried playing again because he wanted to finish chapter one.

Lasko has Poliosis, it's especially abundant on his very long eyelashes.

Dear takes special joy in having him try out multicoloured mascara

While Damien is best at memorising text to score high marks, Freelancer is best at understanding it, and often gives tutoring lessons to the rest of the crew.

Dear used to secretly wish they were an earth elemental so that they could manipulate crystals, but now makes the most beautiful ice sculptures with their water magic.

It took Lasko a very long time to accept that he was truly wanted by the crew, and that he wasn't just some straggler they allowed to follow them around.

Gavin and Freelancer once challenged each other to see who would get flirted with the most at DAMN events, Freelancer got 8, Gavin got 13, and Dear won with 21 {not including Lasko drooling all over them}

The characters of Caelum 's favorite cartoon all have a decora aesthetic, so Caelum has started to make a collection of cute accessories and clips so he can dress like them.

Freelancer is his biggest enabler and loves surprising him with sticker packs and rainbow hair clips

When Damien and Huxley have sleepovers, and are all cosied up next to each other in their warm blankets while drinking hot cocoa, Huxley gets so wrapped up in doting over Damien that he only realises how much time has passed when his hot cocoa gets cold, and then he makes them both go to bed because 'Having a healthy sleep schedule is important dude'

Damien absolutely hates when he does this so he secretly and subtly rewarms Huxley's cocoa so he can spend more time whispering to him in his arms.

There's just one little problem– Senior Auror Harry Potter, the Prat Who Lived, who's known him for a decade, knows full well Draco doesn't have a single psychic bone in his body and seems determined to pull him up for it. Now, the Department is demanding he help them solve cases, Potter's looming over his shoulder at every turn, and worst of all, he hasn't had a shag in weeks because of all this bother. What's a pseudo-Seer to do?

I thought that this would be really interesting to write because of the whole being made of felt thing the neighbors have going on. Also, this can be read as plutonic or romantic!

Frank and Poppy & injured reader

Frank (sprained ankle)

★ Frank and you had just done a little gardening, he invited you over because he needed your help digging up flower bulbs he wanted to re-plant elsewhere. You had a more sturdy body than him and could do it faster.

★ That's not what went wrong, what went wrong was when you decided to run across his backyard to put his garden trowel back to where it belonged. One misstep later and you find yourself face first in the grass.

★ You didn't pick yourself up like usual. The sting hurt like hell and you couldn't stand by yourself. Not without some pain. Frank had to go get Eddie to help you inside. He might look calm, if not confused, but internally he's freaking out.

★ Frank makes sure to write down what happened in one of many notebooks for future reference. Just in case it happens again. Also, he takes the opportunity to ask about your injury and what exactly causes it.

★ If he sees you out and about for the next week you're going to get a earful! Go lay down! You won't heal as fast if you keep walking around! Honestly, he can't believe he has to tell you that...

Poppy (burned)

★ You had a mishap with her oven, tried to pull out a freshly baked tin of brownies and ended up burning your upper wrist on the oven door. Nothing too bad, just a small first-degree burn. Poppy rushed to your side as soon as she heard you say "ow."

★ She insisted on wrapping your wrist herself, and does a very good job, unsurprisingly. Poppy feels so bad for letting you her get injured on her watch. If she had known you could get hurt like that she never would have let you near the oven! Poor Poppy didn't even know burns were a thing!

★ Even though you're fine after she wants you to stay the night so she can make sure you are okay. If you stay she keeps you close and takes care of you and the burn to the best of her ability. It's overkill but if you go home she will worry herself sick about it.

★ Also, the brownies burned. Bolth of you forgot about them and ended up throwing away the tin. Charred brownies are not easy to scrape off.

Genre-Fluid Branch XD The idea for the lore behind this one... well, or idea for another AU XD everyone keeps doing the 'Branch gets adopted by other tribe', but what if he wasn't a young trolling when that happened?

The scenes from the first movie- played for comedic gag- where he kept interrupting events to scream about Bergens- ended with him overthrowing coffin at a funeral, and I image even for Pop Trolls, that would be kind of like the last straw- especially for the grieving widow

After calming down from his panic attack, I imagine even his most stalwart defender at the time (Poppy and to some extent Peppy) would be at loss what to do and what to say to smooth this mess over, and Branch himself would probably feel pretty horrified and horrible

Now feeling most ostracized than ever, I can just imagine him having quite the bout of absolute self-loathing, and coming to conviction that he is very much not welcome among his tribe- especially if he overhears trolls discussing him as if he was the worst thing to ever the walk the earth

Miserable, unhappy and very very lonely, he could be prime for breaking point- where instead of staying in his bunker and embracing the half-forgotten promise of his brothers returning, he chucks all that aside, packs his bags and decides to leave the Troll Village for good. (And perhaps in hopes to find his missing brothers himself, if only to get that part of closure)

After all, it's not like anyone would miss him. (He is wrong of course)

Time wise, set probably roughly 3 or 4 years before the events of the 1st movie, and thus Branch is a very young troll who probably just got into his 20s

Of course, his travels will bring him far and wide, eventually meeting all of the tribes (each offering a different perspective on life), allowing him to heal with help his own tribe cant provide

He would eventually head back to troll village- if only to get few sentimental things from his bunker that he left behind in his hurry to run away- just in time to see the mess of the 20th anniversay escape party

Lets's call this.... Wanderer!Branch AU?
