Vieni a trovarmi nel cuore della notte. Erano anni che non ti vedevo. L'orario non è mai cambiato, solo che stavolta mi trovi sveglio.

"Quanto tempo mio caro! E che faccia che hai! Come te la passi? Sempre più fatica e sempre meno risultati, vedo! " sussurri gelida.

Non rispondo. Non ti guardo. Sospiro.

"Continui a collezionare fallimenti. Ci potrai fare un album."

Mi metto seduto nel letto. Guardo la luce fioca delle luminarie che si intravede dalle tapparelle.

"Continui anche ad allontanare le persone, a quanto pare. E quando non lo fai tu, ti allontanano loro. Ormai non capisco più davvero perché ci provi." sibili tra i denti.

Hai intenzione di rimanere molto?, mi trovo a pensare.

"Qualche giorno. Per le feste", mi rispondi con un ghigno. "Non dicevi che adori il Natale? Che è il periodo in cui ti piace rivedere le vecchie amicizie?"

Sinceramente? Non sei nemmeno il peggiore degli incontri di oggi, rifletto tra me e me.

"Già. Mi muovi quasi a compassione." borbotti. "Cercherò di rimanere il meno possibile."

Sorrido. So che stai mentendo, ma non importa. Accendo una replica di Friends.

"Non mi ricordo mai se siamo d'accordo con Ross o con Rachel su quella questione della pausa..." ti sento sibilare.

Neanche io mi ricordo, vecchia mia. Scopriamolo.

Scratch ♡ Lanque, Or Azdaja ♤ Daraya? Discuss

Oooh well I’m partial to the first since I kinda helped buuuuuut they do kinda suck as people. I don’t know the others well enough to comment yet

[archer-kacey]

Seeing as the Orientation Notebook has a few teaser images now, may as well go over them!

Transcriptions first, because the quality is very crunchy 💖

Candy Cat

"In the 1970's there was a danger of our products seeming old-fashioned, so in 1979 we launched Candy Cat as a more free-spirited character with a mischievous, even rebellious side. She loves candy! What made this design really successful was Candy's lolling tongue, which kids could roll up and put back into her mouth. Meanwhile, the hatch on her back meant you could literally stuff her with candy- or whatever you liked! She's still available to purchase in the Gift Shop today."

Bunzo Bunny

"Bunzo is a cheerful yellow rabbit who loves to celebrate birthdays and clashes his symbols together when he's excited. This toy is equipped with the ability to remember up to eight birthdays and deliver greetings on the day itself. Kids love to freak out their family and friends when Bunzo tells them when their birthday is!"

Eddie M.N. Ritterman

| Head of Research |

"Eddie has been working on new facilities here at the factory. We can't tell you much about what he's working on- he doesn't always tell us much about it!

But we're sure it will lead to great things!"

Note: "NO ONE HAS MET EDDIE. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT HIM IS JUST RUMOURS. HE DOES EXIST THOUGH...I THINK."

❤️💛💙❤️💛💙❤️💛💙❤️💛💙❤️💛💙❤️💛

A Few things to Note/Speculation:

Firstly, the mention of putting "whatever you liked" in Candy Cat's hatch. We remember the Candy Cat cutout in Chapter 2 begging us to stop feeding it, and if I had to hazard a guess, this is a subtle nod to the fact that some of the child experiments were fed something toxic. A few of the other cutouts seem to be speaking about the childrens' experiences, so this might fit thematically.

Alternatively, this could hint at a Bigger Body Candy Cat having smaller enemies inside, or something otherwise hazardous.

And secondly, we get a bit about Candy Cat's personality. This may mean nothing at all, OR it may explain why the Prototype picked Mikayla Hyssop in particular to put under his influence. If she was paired with Candy Cat on the basis of personality (which may or may not be the case), then she might have had a rebellious streak as well- hence why the Prototype might find it easier to have her bend to his whims. If he is indeed trying to save the children, she might have been his first attempt at trying to find someone who was able to save herself and the other children via the power of his influence.

Bunzo and Eddie's sections are pretty self-explanatory for now. There may be context with Eddie I'm missing, but that will have to wait. (I've got a lot of information to re-teach myself between Poppy, Project Playtime, AND the ARG's, lol.)

[foreversleeping-mp3]

We need more stories about the employees in poppy playtime guys😭 like I get that there's no information about their personal life or what they like to do (besides doing experiments), BUT COME ON! I wanna see headcanons of silly little higher ups doing no good things :']]

[reflections-of-mobius]

"Get out of my way."

Masked pomni: well I didn’t expect there to be another me?!, this mask is blue as well.., where did you get it?!

A Deal is Deal (Poppy Playtime and Bendy Fanfiction AU)

Elliot Ludwig was watching into disarray after Mattel and Hasbro beat his company Playtime Co., so desperate times calls for desperate measures...

Elliot made a deal with Joey Drew, and it worked, Playtime Co. became the king of toys, making Hasbro and Mattel feared Playtime Co. again, but tragedy struck, Elliot's daughter died due to unknown reasons. Elliot didn't know why he lost his daughter so sudden, first his wife, Molly divorced him and now his daughter is gone.

One day after he said goodbye to his daughter, Elliot Ludwig doesn't want to talk to anyone, not even Laith Pierre. He masked his grief of his daughter by being so stubborn. Stella Greyber, a new employee of Playtime Co. noticed the change, it's like Elliot have changed his personality from sweet and considerate to cold-hearted and cruel.

One night, Laith confronted Elliot about the sudden change.

"Mr. Ludwig-." Laith said but was cut off by Elliot himself, pushing him in the stairs. Laith has been telling Elliot that he became obsessed of her daughter and he is still denying that she was gone. But Elliot also became so guilty on what he did on Laith, so he ran off and heard a voice:

"IT'S YOUR FAULT"

"E̵̛͖̭͉͖̼̙̹̩͙̙͉̥̻͍̱͈̎̓̉͑̑̐̅̑̅̀͊̌̈͘͝͝Ĺ̷̢̢͈̳̫̝̯͔͇͖̯̺̗͓͚̰̙̬̙̯͝͝L̶̡̙͈̭̺̽̂̆̓̏̿̂̓̆͆͂̋͗̽̎̾̎͘͝I̶̛̹̞͈̜͋̒̄̉̐́̔̓̄Ơ̵̧̧̨̳̹͚̼͍̪̭̞̹̣͓̬͓̩͙̼̮̙͖̥͒̀͘͝T̴̡̮̣̔͊̔́̔̎͐͌̾̾͋͊̃̊̿̕̕̕̕͘"

Elliot covered his ears in guilt, it turns out he made a deal with Joey Drew to keep his toy company stable, but it turns out Joey didn't want to make kids happy, he wanted power. It turns out Joey is spying Elliot ever since his daughter died.

"I told you, Elli, in order to become a household name, you have to give up your most beloved daughter" Joey Drew said, Elliot now know how his daughter died, it's because of his own deal with an evil man.

Joey escaped and Eddie M.N. Ritterman saw Elliot on the floor,covering his ears, and Eddie tried to comfort Elliot but Elliot went to his own office, Eddie knew it, Elliot's grief is a lost cause, until Laith heard the whole thing and have an idea - making Elliot into the Prototype, Experiment 1006.

Elliot threw the chairs due to his tantrums, and he thought his journey for revival of his daughter is a lost cause, until he remembers the Poppy flowers that Molly gave to him. He make a perfect doll based on his daughter.

Um, hey what is this? My friend left this up on one of the shared husktops we have, must’ve been busy flirting with the corpse to remember to close all the tabs. Whatever it is, it seems pretty cool. I can just post stuff and other people can see it? Neat. Well, I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing, and the frogs seem rather out of my control, so I guess send me some messages and we can talk?

[spidermanfan-892]

Cubextera got a little too silly..

(I think)

Please consider supporting I have been crying for the past 7 hours 🔥🔥

[foreversleeping-mp3]

I've been thinking about this for a while now... but I don't think I've ever saw anyone talking about Eddie Ritterman from poppy playtime😭 bros been forgotten💀

they should've made him a "head of security" instead of "head of research". That way they would've included him more with the videos we saw from Mob Entertainment. Like that one video where huggy escapes the factory :]

I imagine he's really good with computers and video editing. I need to make more headcanons of him

Unless that's Leith's job to take care of security, but I would like it more if Eddie was more involved in it. Anyways, I'm going to make a design and headcanons for him <3
