Hey, Smaller Bodies! <3
Writing dilemma! Working on Destroy-A-Toy's first installment. The problem is that it takes place in 1991 while the fic is meant to take place in 1995.
Smaller Bodies = 1991
Destroy-A-Toy = 1995
Yet the first DAT fic is in 1991. I'm considering making it a flashback, sharply jumping at the very end to a paragraph break with Dogday sighing and thinking back at how the chapter happened 'four years ago'. The only problem with THAT is there are two more fics planned that also deal with the repercussions of what happened in 1991.
Three first DAT fics:
YOU, UH... YOU'RE DIFFERENT
PAINTING SUNS!
BABY STEPS!
First one introduces a new character, the second one explains why Dogday's bandana has suns on it (since in the written works it's just been plain yellow) and the third one goes over KickinChicken's blindness. After these three "worldbuilding" fics, the ultimate 1995 plot begins.
This is a problem for me because it doesn't roll with the strict time jump... unless it's three consecutive flashbacks. Call me a writing nerd but that seems like a weak excuse to me. Maybe I'm nitpicking, feel free to call me out for being too particular with the way I write...
Would you guys mind if the first three fics touch base on the Sugar Breath aftermath?
I wish you could do more than one poll because I ALSO have to ask if you'd prefer this as a flashback or not.
Please comment/reply! Thank you! <3
I’ve got this goofy as interaction in my head of Doey meeting Ollie 😭 I’m gonna draw it later but it’s like
“O-oh, um, pleasure to meet you, Mr. Playtime-!”
“OOP- please, sugar, just call me Ollie. Lovely to meet you too :3”
“What’s… they/them… OH!! YOU’RE - you’re plural too?!”
“Wait, no, I’m just non-binary-”
“KEVIN ARE YOU HEARING THIS??? I TOLD YOU WE WEREN’T THE ONLY ONE-”
And. Like. There’s an allocated panic corner at the Toy Tour. And they’re just both there mutually tweaking and trauma dumping about their parents 😭
“You’re not as bad as the others say you are.”
Will clean up later! For now, D I N O S A U R
(👆 Catnap, Dogday, Miss Delight, Ollie, Poppy and Theodore)
GOOD MORNING!!!!!
Asking because originally it was going to be under A Grand Announcement, but it feels like it could work as a standalone. Also people found me originally through goofy Smiling Critter one-shots and this is the closest to that!
So basically
Would you prefer
Finding it as the third chapter in A Grand Announcement (makes more story sense) OR
Finding it as a one-shot (much more accessible, easy to find, and more open instead of having to search through chapters)
I know I can take ten years to write but THIS chapter is something I’m excited for!!
Guys guys guys guys in the new Chapter 4 Trailer the Mini Dogday’s tail wags when he eats and it’s so precious because he’s excited to eat and I want to hug him and gently squeeze him and feed him copious amounts of beans
Someone needs to make a gif of his tail wagging immediately right now

Very first time drawing the Player! Let’s go!! 💛
Also, we have some super special art for @calebtsm! He loves Eevee and he’s made an arctic fox OC, so boom. They’re snuggling now!
Gimme this thing! Let’s hope it doesn’t trigger anything lol
“I loved you, always.”
They’re so pretty!! :0 Well done!!
been getting into the smiling critters lately and thought I showed my edits of them that made yesterday!! will do the boys soon or later
Okay you know what I’m. Gonna share some DAT Ollie lore here!
(DAT means Destroy-A-Toy. It’s literally the Smaller Bodies Initiative AU but four years into the future and on a stage)
Aight so my little bugger looks like this
I have their full body too but the phone child is currently being beastly and is making my art style do the conga
Anyhoos!! Here are some things about this particular phone child
Their name is Ollie Playtime and they’re Poppy’s (adopted?) sibling
The phone child actually isn’t a child! That’s an experiment who got transformed AS a child and is now stuck looking like that 😭 they’re actually 18 in the time of the AU and 28 in the time of canonical gameplay
This foul foul beast was a precursor to Poppy - a test subject to see how it would go creating a female doll body. Problem is they used a male test subject. Thanks for giving my little baby gender dysphoria
Despite saying everything with a cutesy wootsy voice, Ollie is pretty angry and volatile due to their treatment/situation
Little stinker was meant to run the phone lines (as a CHILD mind you) just to answer help calls, but that turned awry when Ollie got so mad at Playtime Co. they got on the phone and threatened to leak their experiments to the nearest news hotline
Long story short they’re now a staff member! Security and Communications Head!
Here’s a friendly depiction of Ollie interacting peacefully with the other staff:
(This Harley Sawyer design is by @purewavelengthsoflight! Because it’s super cool!! I want to change it more but I have to practice drawing men first. I’m so used to drawing feminine people I accidentally gave Harley a manicure in my first draft. Anyways Purewav has art block right now and needs motivation!! Everyone throw pencils!!! /lh)
Ignore how the fingers turned out, I was tweaking at the time.
Anyhoossss!! So the funny playtime monster creechur is a main character in a thing I’m writing. DAT’s plot is Playtime Co. decided “oh yeah looks like our toys are finally well made enough to be shown publicly” and they’re carted off to the Theatre to cause an incident. Ollie, being on the staff, went “oh hell no” and forcibly parked their botty boo as the tour guide so they can control how the toys are treated. Cause they do NOT want all these gorgeous little beans to become angry like them.
It’d be more noble if they didn’t give Elliot Ludwig alcohol poisoning on purpose
Anyways, that’s my funny phone child! Or what I can think of right now :)
I haven’t posted that “POV you’re just a little hater” art yet so thanks for reminding me 💀
Links to this AU are found on my intro post and it’s AO3 exclusive, and maybe soon I’ll have the free time to actually finish the next chapter
Me upon realising I’m not the only one who loves Ollie:
Whoever’s out there who also loves that phone child. Please. Can we be moots
My name is Qibs I would love to talk to you 🥺 👉👈
I’m uh. Also. An AU creator. Whose Ollie is their own character. Who I love. A lot. And want to share more. Without feeling sad. Ollie fans where
+smoke:
Meet Catnap's new glorious design - the ✨ Goddess ✨ Kitty!
She is quite literally perceived as a supernatural being. The queen herself! <3
Hey there, I’m Qibs! (she/her) Author of the Smaller Bodies Initiative and Destroy-A-Toy! Lovely to have ya here! 💜🫂
