reposting this cause more people need to see this (plus I said something like this before but this phrases everything better )
People want a flawed female character and yet they can't even handle Poppy.
"Poppy is evil" theories here and "I wanna punt Poppy" there
So sad. Poppy is a traumatized kid who got experimented on over and over again, got contacted by the Prototype disguised as Ollie to find out every bit about her while they were both constantly being taken apart. So he could later use that against her. The Prototype lied to her, saying they would leave after The Hour of Joy, which is why she initially agreed, only to then be told after The Hour that they would stay there forever since leaving would have people know they exist. People would continue to hurt them and people would be experimented on just like they had been. And she knew he was right. She just misses her dad, Ludwig.
But because she disagreed with whatever experiments he and Harley were doing, the Prototype locks her inside that case for years where only we finally let her out.
Initially she just wants to let us leave, but after defeating two Bigger Bodies? Defeating Huggy Wuggy might have just been luck, but defeating Huggy Wuggy AND Mommy Long Legs? That's skill. So she decides we are her best bet against the Prototype.
She has decided the Prototype's way isn't the right way, but killing everyone would be better. The human orphans are important, they can still be saved. But the Prototype, she herself and any other toy needs to die so this can never happen again. She doesn't like it, but it's the only way out she sees. Otherwise, she will just continue letting toys cannibalism one another like the Prototype currently is.
But then everything goes up in flames. Suddenly everyone is dead, she only has us and Kissy. She wouldn't suspect Ollie of any potential sabotage. She has known him for over 10 years! Since before The Hour of Joy. The Prototype would never have manipulated her for that long. But he has. And he threatens her with putting her back inside a prison she cannot escape from. So she runs, because she is still a scared little girl that has been trying to put on a brave face
You can disagree with her actions, but it's not like she had no reasons to do them. All the kids we met were put through the ringer and trying to act like Poppy is some evil bitch rather than a scared little girl when the game has shown the lengths these kids go to time and time again? That's missing the point
Most agree with Doey about not blowing the place sky high
i can see why but I agree with poppy’s plan more
why because think about it as I said in other posts safe haven wouldn’t last forever eventually food & corpses would run out after a while even with every other hostile bigger body dead
and even then several of them talk about suffering daily
plus as I also said doey is a ticking time bomb with how unstable he is cause of how different the 3 kids in him are
Jack is just an innocent little bean
Kevin is rage incarnate from what I’ve seen but other posts made me think it’s cause of other issues before he even became a third of doey
and Mathew was just insecure the whole time
anyway I just feel like poppy’s plan is better in the long run and she never said anything about leaving the toys in safe haven down there she just wants the factory and the prototype gone which blowing it up would do
Plus as that final scene with poppy she’s upset doey and safe haven are gone so while it’s not clear immediately it’s easy to deduce killing them all wasnt the plan
sure poppy could’ve said something about that earlier but in universe it’s a bit late
anyway I imagine nobody is gonna like this and will likely comment saying I’m wrong cause I didn’t side with the emotionally unstable doughman (doughmen? It’s a bit hard when they were 3 people and you can’t really tell anymore… if they’re 3 people in one body or one guy with clashing personalities)
plus I’m still just a bit sore about how everyone is still hating on poppy when unlike chapter 2’s ending where she was vague about why she did what she did then it’s a bit more clear in chapter 4 she’s you know HAVING A PANIC ATTACK AND HAS A REASON FOR DOING WHAT SHE DID
doing this one on tumblr(most of my ideas are on ao3) it’s an evil au of poppy where the employee is a terrible person and is basically horrible to everyone
chapter 1
pretty much the same as canon but the employee grabs huggy as he falls then let’s him go again then grabs poppy immediately
chapter 2
walks into the game station cheats at every game and torments poppy every step of the way before tying her to the front of the train after killing mommy and scaring kissy away
chapter 3
same until the first dream (minus Ollie dialogue who despite still being the prototype is a bit shocked at the brutality and openness the employee is showing ) said first dream isn’t much then kissy tries to save poppy only to get grabpacked to the face
they then beat the sh*t outta poppy leaving her barely hanging on then throws her across playcare before wandering into the school and proceeds to brutalize miss delight who kicks them out
eventually they wind up finding dogday after committing arson
they then commit more arson on the last critter
then catnap sequence breaks just to try to stop them
they fail and the prototype does a mercy kill after the employee tries to saw catnaps legs off joint by joint
poppy and kissy try to escape to safe haven only for you know who to show up and maul kissy themselves with the orange hand
chapter 4
poppy is just barely able to escape and tries to get her way to safe haven barely holding onto life the employee following close behind while dragging kissy’s corpse with them
the 2 arrive at safe haven at the same time and the employee pretends to be nice to make poppy look even worse in safe havens eyes ignoring her near fatal wounds after they’re sent to f**k with the doctor (in which they massacre pianosaurus, yarnaby, hundreds of nightmare critters & giving each of them a slow & painful death )
poppy tries to warn doey only for the employee to find the bombs early and nuke safe haven with poppy barely escaping as doey goes nuclear at the employee directly as they shoot a flare down the last survivor’s throat
the outcomes the same…
the two end up in the vent block as the prototype commends the employee for making poppy suffer before giving her an even worse breaking speech but before she can flee the employee grabs her as the last bomb goes off sending them down…
to the labs where guess who shows up. huggy wuggy himself looking the same but even more pissed
the employee throws poppy at the door before booking it (they don’t fear huggy like my other AUs but “anything to make poppy suffer more” )
the rest will be done shortly after chapter 5 releases
this entire au is just the employee making everyone suffer equally while tormenting poppy the whole time
No this isn’t based on my annoyance at people hating on poppy despite everything and just ignoring everything that doesn’t say “she needs to suffer”
i just wanted to make an AU where the employee is just an asshole
while I doubt anyone even saw the initial post
if anybody IS curious, I’m doing a poll of a bunch of characters
I’ll definitely do most of them but I’m curious if anybody cares about a specific character
also if anybody likes the idea of the AU and has ideas for certain characters and they’re Akuma Scars.
feel free to share them.
@decadeofjoy-au
since I can’t put a poll in an ask this is the next best thing
I’m morbidly curious cause depending on who. Most would think wins a fight I might try to write (part of) an encounter (not necessarily a fight but still) between the winner &sandman (the winner’s half of the encounter atleast)
as for when or how these encounters would happen
it would definitely vary on who wins
either way this is a poll
While most of my posts on here have been Poppy Playtime related
this is a new AU idea I haven’t seen anywhere else
presenting!: Miraculous Ladybug: Akuma Scars AU
To summarize (if you don’t know the show ) akumatization is basically where Hawkmoth ( the main villain of the show (first 5 seasons anyway ) ) can send out corrupted Butterflies (called Akuma’s ) to evilize (yes that’s the actual term before you ask ) people feeling negative emotions
in the show it gets crazy
and this AU was based on when i rewatched some early episodes and thought
“What if there were remnants of the akumatization stuck on their bodies “
(This next part assumes you’ve watched atleast season one )
for example
Alya has minor bits of pink electricity on her fingertips from her powers as lady Wifi
or Ivan has bits of stone on his shoulders and right fist from when he was stoneheart
among others ( I have several already imagined but i shared the first 2 I came up with )
While I can’t exactly draw it (i suck at drawing semi realistic people like in miraculous ladybug even in a 2D state ) the idea is in my mind and I thought it’d share it
There’d be other smaller things in the AU but mainly the “scars” of the akumatizations
that’s all for now
Okay I had the same idea a few days ago when I was talking to another person
the idea is so cursed. yet why do I see this happening?!?!
Not canon to the Fledglings AU, but consider-
The Doc is...
In...?
@keykittygirl I hope you're proud of yourself—
Don’t know if this is an ask or if it would work but
“Sh*t forgot to think of something to ask soooooo wanna play uno? You have uno right practically all digital universe have uno IF YOUD ONT WE MIGHT HAVE A pRoBlEm
Bassie’s World: Holiday Takeover
An AU where the holiday toons decide to “replace” several Toons to escape being locked away (bassie led their revolution… for reasons… )
Bassie herself replaced dandy (her flowers were recolored similar to dandy’s head)
Bobette replaced Astro (she just wears a Santa hat that’s long like Astro’s)
Some other switches (Ginger & Cosmo, Flyte & Flutter, Coal & Pebble, Rudie & Poppy and Eggson & Boxten )
Cocoa …bassie kinda “got rid” of her shortly after they took over
bassie made the ichor operation to cover up the disappearances of so many toons
she’s blackmailing rodger to stop him from investigating the truth
the reason bassie wants the tapes is that instead of recorded episodes of the cartoon as people theorize with dandy, it’s a ton of backups of the security tapes of the night the holiday toons had their revolution. as well as bassie “removing” cocoa
The other toons are confused (with those close to those who went missing being worried ) (similar thing with toodles & rodger acting strange
-—————-
Bassie isn’t Herself.
i know what your thinking “how is poppy not evil she didn’t like doey’s idea, she ran away at the end and she helped set up the hour of joy!” Well to counter that in reverse order. The red tape shows she regrets doing that cause she thought it was an escape attempt not a massacre that leads to them staying in the factory anyway, she ran away cause one of her “best friends” had been lying to her for who knows how long and used her to destroy safe haven and just threatened her with something worse than the case he locked her in which she never wants to go back into and lastly due to her regret she wants to end the prototype and destroy everything there so everyone can just Rest. before you say something dumb and claim poppy said it I just rewatched a play through I checked she never says anything bad about safe haven or those in it she just sees destroying the factory as the best and only option and just staying in safe have and letting the prototype continue isn’t smart regardless if safe haven live a bit longer eventually food would run out which they need and most of the corpses down there look more like just skin and bone not much they could eat if they were willing to eat human
And also doey was an emotional wreck even if the prototype hadn’t blown up safe haven doey likely would’ve snapped eventually with someone like Kevin in him it was bound to happen the destruction of safe haven only sped it up
and poppy isn’t a amoral monster who doesn’t care she obviously cares about kissy just look at the very end of chapter 3 and the very start of chapter 4 (after the doey commercial and jack’s death) and she was very hurt by Ollie being the prototype you can tell from her voice alone the hurt the despair
that isn’t the voice someone evil would have nobody evil can have that
Deep down she’s just a scared kid trying to fix a problem she helped cause even as indirectly as she did
you can dislike poppy but she isn’t evil
a thing I might start doing. More likely than not this’ll likely be forgotten but still doing it-
random fun fact i draw most of my art (that i put online) using a screenshot of a blank white screen. Sometimes its drawn on real paper and edited afterwards digitally.
And that’s a random fact about me :P
