Poppy Playtime’s Lore (Smaller Bodies)

Not all of this has been said in Smaller Bodies but I’ll elaborate in Destroy-A-Toy. For now, here’s a post both for my own reference and for anyone keeping up with the AU!

First off, Poppy’s real name is Cecilia Ludwig.

Here are some reasons for the name Cecilia.

Floral and fancy, delicate

The name “Cecilia” means “blind”. Same root as Cecile or Cecily. As a character, Poppy is extremely ignorant and blinded to the world around her.

Implies that poppies are not her origin (which they’re not)

As you can tell by the surname, she was the daughter of Elliot Ludwig. I’ve had this headcanon for a very long time but don’t think I ever officially wrote it in… Cecilia’s death caused Elliot so much pain he became enclosed in his office; not sleeping, not eating, not showering. Clearly unfit as a founder and CEO. This let people like Harley Sawyer and Leith Pierre get into the company’s higher spots.

Ludwig doesn’t care about the experiments or the cruelty they suffer. He cares about getting his kid back. He’d be great friends with Afton just saying

Anyway, Cecilia was six when she died. I’m not sure how she died but as symbolism it may be something optical or brain-related. That would also make Poppy’s perfection more impactful.

Destroy-A-Toy would be PERFECT to explore this since the plot centres around a toy pruning!

And I can imagine her being all

“EWWWW they don’t work right…”

“No one works right, Poppy.”

“I do!”

“…you’re the only one.”

I wish I had someone like Thor as a bf 😔

they’re gay your honor

Omg a text post

Went to write a story, been a looooong time since I was ready to go throw it down with the keys and here I am.

So it's about Naruto, the series not the character. 7 pages in and I have not introduced the main character... Which I don't even know if he is going to be the main character. Is the center of the story automatically a main character?

Gai and Yamato are there goofing around. Tsunade the usual pretending to not give a shit badass, who actually gives a lot of shits. To herself and everyone around her.

Why am I even writing this down?

7 pages 2 chapters in and I have no idea where the story is going...

And I enjoy it so hard.

A little more on that idea-

The reason he acts so childish is because he died as the cybertronian equivalent of a teenager Or early twenties.

When Megatron finds out that he basically killed a teenager, and doomed that teenager to a life and a role that he didn't want. He is horrified with himself (I believe in Megatron having morals and not believing in killing sparkling or younglings during the war).

No one sees him for two weeks.

Also, after brainstorm finds out he starts working on a way for Rodimus to start aging again. Rodimus is very thankful for that, bit sadly no one lets brainstorm use what he invented for fear of it killing Rodimus.

Brainstorm came up with seven different ways, and made seven different machines for those ways, in two months. Three of those inventions can fix the problem, two of them will just make Rodimus a baby (no actual way of fixing that), one of them will actually kill Rodimus, and the last one will turn Rodimus invisible (not sure how that works).

I heard a sound on tik tok where a character said they are the same age forever, and that got my brain puting rodimus in there.

SO, rodimus who's stuck the same age he was as when he died, both physically and mentally.

The matrix revived him, but he just, stopped aging. He doesn't even realize it until someone points it out to him.

I imagine he doesn't tell the crew cause he doesn't want pity. But then one time he's very drunk and out of it and just starts talking and making everyone concerned.

I don't think you understand how much I need rodimus to be good at math. I mean a person who learned physics at university for FUN good.

And he doesn't even realize how good he is cause he uses it for art and for his creative outlets (you can't tell me carving on your desk with a knife is not a creative outlet).

He can literally do most math problems in under half hour cause his brain moves super fast (speeder and ADHD), but he doesn't realize it cause he doesn't even LIKE math. (Just like me for real).

He only finds out it's not normal to solve a math problem in under a half hour cause of the one time he walked into the labs while brainstorm was calculating and just casually looked at the board and point out a mistake. Brainstorm cries for about an hour cause of that.

Anyway, I need rodimus to be good at math but also really lazy about it so no one knows or believes brainstorm when he tries to tell them.

This is a quick question.

Why is the name for the Perceptor x brainstorm ship simpatico? I don't mean to offend the fandom, I just really wanna know why its named that way

After the drugs stops working, rodimus in the med bay getting a check up:

Ratchet:*looking at rodimus's processor* I'm not sure what chousd rodimus to act so strangely.

Ultra Magnus: I see, hopefully we could figure it out.

Rodimus: you know, I actually really enjoyed those last few hours. My processor wasn't going like 100 mph for once and I could actually focus on my work without getting distracted every two seconds.

Ratchet, Ultra Magnus, Megatron and everybot else in the med bay: *Relishing that rodimus as the cybertronian equivalent of ADHD and none of them knew, including him* This explains so much and yet so little at the same time. Oh primus we're so stupid for not relishing.

Rodimus:*confused* are y'all ok? Did I miss something?

Drift: don't worry about it rodi. But just out of curiosity, do you remember who gave you the energon before you started filling weird?

Rodimus: yeah, it was getaway. Said he made it himself as a gift.

Drift and everybot else:*Relishing what getaway was trying to do* `I'm going to kill getaway`

I need either Brainstorm or Perceptor or literally ANYBOT on the Lost light to somehow make the cybertronian equivalent of those ADHD meds that make your emotions disappear (you know the type, every Neurodivergent person who takes meds had them), And somehow those meds/drags get into rodimus's energon.

I just want the ENTIRE SHIP in chaos cause rodimus is ACTUALLY WORKING! (What?).

Like, Megatron and ultra Magnus having an existential crisis.

Drift being concerned for his emica (you write it like that?) cause he doesn't wanna race.

Ratchet and all the medics on the ship trying to get rodi into the med bay to give him a check up.

All of the other bots being 100% SURE that rodimus is possessed or got replaced.

And at the same time that the entire crew is panicking, Rodimus is enjoying having his processor go about 950 MPH for the first time in his life. (He is able to do his work without getting distracted or bored after five minutes).

The crew notices rodimus's lack of emotions, rodimus himself does not.

Thank you!!!!!and be ready my friend, because you are a awesome writer and I definitely can’t wait to ask for a part two of this, but man, I can totally see some, *cough* whirl *cough* trying to get a ride but doing it in the most whirly way.

Hello! I was wondering if I can have a scene where human reader is transformed into a cybertronian by none other than brainstorm. I can see the reader trying out things like drinking energon, seeing what they can transform into, racing, helping bots even more than they could before, and trying to win the heart of a crush. With Rung and any other characters. (P.S I believe there should be more fan fiction of the human changing size or race, I mean; how many geniuses are there in the lost light?)

A/N: Feel free to ask for a continuation when the ask box opens again! 

Frankly, they didn’t want to lose you. Some were more likely to admit it than others, but they all felt it the same. They didn’t want to lose their beloved liaison to old age, and thus Brainstorm had been chosen to figure out how to re-format you into a Cybertronian. 

After a series of painstaking tests and Rung’s supervision that affirmed you consented to and understood the procedure, Brainstorm went through with it. 

Swerve is there to give you your first sip of energon. It was nothing fancy, but everyone wanted to be sure that your first experience wasn’t going to be illness. Your new optics light up after your first drink, and you bounce a little as you chug more down. 

Rodimus encourages you to transform, with a pointed look at Rung. Once the medic has cleared it, you try and lo and behold you transform into a hoverboard. No one wants to laugh - everyone except Whirl have the decency to avoid it. 

brain storming bc i decided i was gonan restart my fic and do it correctly also im turning it into an OC story

Bill Cipher, except he genuinely CANT LIE.

Like, at all. Legitimately he is incapable of telling a lie.

Like sure, he can certainly dodge questions, or maybe create a loophole or two- But if you were to ask him a question directly with no way of avoiding it- HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO BE HONEST. And this fudges him over on multiple accounts.

And when he’s trying to dodge questions to avoid giving away his secrets or intentions- I want you to envision the scene from Shrek 3, where Pinocchio is being interrogated by Prince Charming concerning Shreks whereabouts- See here and he’s just RAMBLING-

Now, despite everything, this doesn’t change much. He still has flattery tactics and is careful with his worlds- Despite all his smarts Ford can still be blinded by his own hubris. So the whole portal thing goes down similarly to canon… Untill the portal incident happens.

With Ford stuck in the portal, Bill had no way of rebuilding it seeing that nobody would be willing… Aside from STANLEY PINES who is at a loss at what to do. The perfect willing assistant in rebuilding the portal. And bill wouldn’t have to lie that much cuz their goals really do aline somewhat… So, the demon tries to strike a deal…

This is when shit hits the fan for Bill.

And hey, let’s even go as far as to exaggerate the whole “Must return his half of the deal no matter what” portion of Bill’s deal making abilities. With this in mind, let’s take a look at EX CON STANLEY PINES who can sniff out a bad deal in no time- Due to his years of experience on the streets. And being the con artist that he is, Stanley being confronted by another con artist who can only tell the truth and also is confined to whatever deals they make… Well, this can only go well for him.

So Stanley tricks Bill- As he would in most dimensions if you get my gist. While Bill is offering unlimited knowledge in exchange for Stan’s compliance or something- Stan can easily twist Bills words against themselves and long story short- Bill is now trapped in Stanley’s debt and is confined to… Hmmm…

Let’s say he’s stuck constantly possessing a little magic 8 ball. And whoever shakes him, he’s forced to admit information to. A seriously bad deal on his part, an extremely great one on Stan’s part. So, Bill must help Stan get on with the portal without any sort of escape…

What’s even worse is that as time goes on, sometimes Stan even uses Bill as one of his ATTRACTIONS. (Honestly, Bill is lucky. Stan had been seconds away from binding the demon to a Zoltar machine-)

And time passes just as it would in canon, that is, untill the little pines twins come around to stay for the summer. And while I haven’t thought too hard about what the episodes looks like as I imagine it all doesn’t change too much- However. One thing that inspired this whole thing is how the kids are first introduced to bill- Something like:

Stan: Here kids- Meet Bill. This guy will answer all your pesky little questions.

Dipper: …Grunkle Stan, you named your magic 8 ball Bill?

Stan: Huh? Nah, he was called that when I first got him. Also Bill is just this all-knowing demon thing that I trapped inside of that ball in like… What was it- Was it- 85? Bah whatever-

Dipper: A demon…

Mable: *Eyes sparkling* Can I shake it???

Stan: *Tosses the ball casually* Sure knock yourself out kid.

Mable: Woahhhh…

Dipper: What is that thing… Is that… A triangle?

Stan: Welp. I’ll let you kids have at it- OH YEAH. He can’t lie so there’s that.

Or something like that. Haven’t worked out the kinks yet, but I think in this scenario Stan lets the kids mess around with Bill sometimes in hopes that the knowledge he possesses can help prevent the kids from like- Getting themselves in danger or something. And once the kids realize that they can just twist their words in order to make Bill slip and give helpful information- Well I can only imagine their shithead grins as Bill curses to the heavens. Dipper and Bill will banter a lot, with Bill obviously doing his best to break this pre-pubescent boys self esteem but it only assists in Dippers character development. Meanwhile, Bill and Mable can be lowkey chaotic and he could even respect her antics- If not for her whole “empathy and emotions” thing. (Perhaps a teensy bit of character development in places… But if Bill is a master of anything in any dimension, it is DENIAL-)

I think weirdmaggedon might still happen and there will be this whole rift thing and stuff- it’s still relatively similar. Maybe a different ending? Or another deal? Who knows. But this was just a silly thought I had- I can only imagine the names if I decide to invest time into it.

Magic 8 Bill AU? Or something? I might make some art for it if I’m being completely honest- Just a funny thought yk?
