MEET! SNOWBALL!!

Meet Dogday's pet, Snowball. A small, delicate, but extremely affectionate poodle moth, she's also very affectionate with Dogday and the other critters she sees and meets.

To DogDay:

WHERE

IS

MY SUPERSUIT?!

Dogday: WHAT?

In the Gaudani au, does catnap has any love rivals?

Ohhh.... Interesting question.

*ahem*

The Imperial Prince Catnap put himself at a disadvantage if he wanted to court Dogday for several reasons (he passively threatened to leave with him or explode a poppy gas bomb, he's committing a crime called "gypsy wedding," he's holding him against his will, he knows he only brought it to regain some status,etc.), causing Dogday to act with complete rejection toward the Imperial Majesty; while he treats everyone else, regardless of their status or position, with genuine sympathy.

Therefore, it's very common for him to become jealous of everyone, especially the chief steward of the Empress's estate (Poe), the Hilmir of Nordjörd Simon "the Greedy" ... and even his best friend, the future Duke "LeCoq" Kickin. Except for the steward, no one feels a romantic interest in the young Gaudani.

There are also more nobles interested in taking Dogday just for the feeling of "wanting to tame the savage".... but Catnap made it very clear that no one can touch him.

And regarding Dogday, if he realizes it, he clearly doesn't, he simply considers it all a bad joke that his captor is playing on him to annoy him once he falls into his silly game, but Dogday doesn't plan on falling for it because he's not interested in participating in the first place.

Pretty sure you mentioned a roleswap au of your gaudani au. Can you talk about It?

Ohhh, this; I'll do the artwork for that once I've put in the rest of the AU information so I can do the swap later.

Note: The "The Tyrant and Gaudani" AU swap does NOT feature the Frowning Critters.

A BITE OF GAUDAN FAMILY #2: DOGDAY'S BIRTH.

(Has anyone seen the "9 months in my womb" meme? I couldn't resist doing that too)

Dogday's birth was completely chaotic; she was born two months premature, in the middle of the night, to very young parents by tribal standards (the average birth occurs between the ages of 35 and 50, while they were 20 when they had their puppy), and obviously without a doctor nearby. So you can imagine the shock for both of them. Once they'd had the shock, but realized the baby was fine, they calmed down.

A BITE OF GAUDAN FAMILY #1: DOGDAY FIRST STEPS.

Dogday is the son of the current Elder Gaudani, Solaris Morninghaunt, and Solaris Walrpup; but at the time of the cartoon, the previous Elder Gaudani and his grandfather Oldenatch were still alive. At that time, both parents' worries were much less, and they could devote all the time in the world to their newborn baby. Incidentally, the argument was really about the grandfather getting tangled up while trying to carry his granddaughter.

Important note: Dogday is Transmale; at the beginning of her transition, so get used to being referred to as her in her childhood.

In the mind of the tirany...

The young Gaudani Dogday hates the imperial prince for having captured him and involved him in "a gypsy wedding"; but on the other hand, the prince wonders how to win him over.

THE TYRANT AND THE GAUDANI #4

The fourth and final pair of smiling critters make their debut!! Entering, the marquis and the prince's assistant; Bubba Bubbaphant. And on the other side, a young apprentice merchant, Piggy Picky.

Libby, meet Carl the Collector.

He’s an autistic raccoon who love to collect

Dogday: Hi little Carl, could you show me your collection please? You don't have to if you don't want to, but it looks really nice and I wanted to know if you don't mind *←Their specialty in playcare was neurodivergent children or those with communication difficulties, Dogday will probably stay talking to Carl for hours until the little one has time to sleep*

How’s you doing Libby?

Dogday: I've been fine, the snow has been cold and the area too crowded to go out so I've been in my barn watching movies in a warm sunflower bed. Mr. Angel says he's been telling someone about me and that he knows Dogday is a monster but she wants to meet me...

Dogday: he also says I should start studying but monsters don't do homework!!

P.Layer: You are not a monster, you are an experiment

"I still won't do homework! Gimme a break! That's so cold to exit today!"

To Libby/DogDay

What is your favorite things to do now with Player, Poppy, and Kissy Missy?

Dogday: With Mr. Angel and Poppy it's like being with teachers... strict teachers. So I'm always doing homework to keep my body active and recover some motor skills...

Dogday: Being with Kissy is much easier because we both want to do the same thing, but we especially like taking naps on sunny days; these are two things we couldn't do before.

"although the last time we did it our little bodies hurt after we did that in the summer, it gave us the equivalent of a sunburn"

To Libby/DogDay

Do play video games? If so, what are your opinions on Megaman, Megaman X, Megaman BattleNetwork, and Megaman Zero?

Dogday: One of Mr . Angel's Friends left us a video game console to play; But Kissy and I very big to play, so we just see.

Dogday: although this friend brought a dance dance revolution that kissy and I can play by pressing the arrows with our hands (our paws are very big). Poppy doesn't like videogames other than Tetris and Snake.

Dogday: ohh; But if I knew Megaman before, Michael had a nes and I saw him play before he left our former home...

Dogday: ... Dogday asked often how Michael will be now? ...

To Libby/DogDay: Are there any other humans that know about you?

Player: She's sleeping right now due to some meds they gave her, but I can answer that question because I deal with them too.

Player: AHEM

Player: The MOB people have been after me for a while now since I'm one of the few ex-employees of Playtime Co. who isn't dead, missing, or in a legal mess; but I somehow ended up giving in so they can have everything I know about that shitty company in exchange for ensuring Dogday gets proper care and repairs, because giving her legs and the organs those gremlins ate is totally out of my league (I'm an administrative technician, not a doctor or scientist).

Player: What they found with Dogday is that even though she's not comfortable with adults around her, she makes an effort to cooperate, causing them to treat her almost like a princess for being so cooperative.

Player: And those who know about my princess's existence are, if I'm not mistaken= 5 toy designers that the company fired so they wouldn't be given the patent for their creations that are working on modernizing and adapting Dogday's body, 5 doctors from Sawyer's "side" who feel remorseful (or at least they betrayed him to avoid life imprisonment) that are in charge of her physical recovery, 1 former psychologist from the nursery school that guides her mental recovery, 1 criminal analyst or something like that that takes note of her testimonies, My wife;who is in recovery, but hearing about Libby and her progress helps her to improve on her own, old Maxwell Paxton who is the case officer on the police side of MOB (who is training the new officer for when he takes his break to moving, Michael O'Hara or something like that)…

?????: Mr. Layer; is this the double D to play dodgeball with monsters? Kissy said she would play and we shared the minis to play!

Player: ohhh, and some of their little gremlins come to play with Dogday a lot.For example, she, Evelyn; is the daughter of the new officer O'Hara

Player: and not Evelyn; Libby is sleeping right now, and what did I say about playing with them?

Evelyn: pouts

Player: "I don't know why, but the new case officer's daughter is awfully similar to Libby… I hope that's just my impression…" - or I know why, but the new case officer's daughter is awfully similar to Libby… I hope that's just my impression…"

To Libby/DogDay: I got two questions.

Q1. Do you show other modern movie? Such as: The Incredible, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Tarzan

Q2. Do you enjoy being DogDay?

Dogday: With the first one, I loved "The Incredibles"!! Especially the "WHERE'S MY SUPER SUIT?!" *giggles*

Dogday: Although I prefer 2D movies, like Atlantis or Tarzan… but I especially loved Treasure Planet.

Dogday: … Okay, I admit it; I thought Jim Hawkins was handsome… (Don't tell Mr. Angel!! He saiys I'm too young to fall in love, but that 2D boy is so cute and cool!!)

Dog: in the second, dieu... Sometimes it's complicated. I experienced many bad things as Dogday, and I don't know if the doctors or the dumb-dumb toys that followed 1006 were worse... The biggest dumb-dumb...

Dogday: But, I also had some nice moments… with the critters… other bigger bodies… the kids at playcare… some employees who were good…

Dogday: and now Mr. Angel and his acquaintances take care of me and allow me to make mistakes and act like a child again... but...

Dogday: there are moments when I feel a bit lonely being like this...

(The author is back here, due to moving I lost all the drawings for the ask and I haven't had time to redo it, so several questions will be without illustrations for a while.)

WELCOME TO PLAYTOWN/POPPY PLAYTOWN- CHARACTER REFERENCE #7.

INFORMATION AND DATA.

Name:Picky Piggy-Seb

Age: 27

Height: 260 mts/8'5 fts

Species: Smiling Critter creature.Asian pig wit a bit of boar

Occupation: Headchef/Freelance Event organizer.

Genre: female (she/her)

Sexuality:Bi

Magical usser type:Exorcist.

Birth place: Green parade (Main City)

Birth day: March 15th

Personality:

Mischievous, flirtatious and frank; these are the adjectives to describe the ever sincere new head chef of the restaurant "the boar's"; a popular restaurant in the heart of main city.

She loves receiving new customers at her restaurant, and seems to have a "sixth sense" to guess what dish a new customer will like and is happy to hear how they enjoyed their meal; but if there is something she enjoys more than happy customers or cooking, it is definitely knowing the daily gossip of the capital. She is not a big fan of strong emotions or great experiences, she prefers to hear them than experience them.

If there is something that really displeases her and makes her irritated is when someone comes to ruin the atmosphere, she becomes irritable and will tell you all the insults she knows and will throw a spoon the size of a glutton at you no matter how much tip you have to calm her down.

and although she is a great chef; her true passion is the organization or decoration of events, activities and planning in general.

She is very fussy about appearance, especially her own; she tends to take a long time getting ready and gets very stressed when an accident affects her (this being a clear sign to run away if she is angry or comfort her if she is depressed about it)

Rather than being a lover of lots of food, she is rather a fan of trying such strange combinations of food that no one would be able to have the courage to try them; which causes the comic gag in which the crew behind her back plays a lottery to see who will try it first. It is a matter of chance whether it will be a delicacy… or will take someone to the hospital.

Another comic gag is having a LOT of absurd prohibitions in his restaurant and he will charge 5 playcoins if it is a stranger, or rudely confronting someone with a rolling pin if it is one of his friends (with the group of Hoppy, Kickin, Catnap and Bubba almost always being spectators of the scolding)

about her work and daily life.

Picky is the one who gets up the earliest and goes to bed the latest; starting very early with food preparation, cleaning the place and/or going to the big grocery store to stock up on food or decorative items for her other independent job as an event decorator.

In the moments when she is not around the restaurant she has become a recurring customer of "Poppy's wardrobe", especially in the makeup area or near there in the beauty salon.

It is common in her free time to see her hanging out with the boys, only to be interrupted that there was an emergency at the restaurant, outlining a very annoying "damn bacon! why always on my day off?!" and she goes to see what really happens.

Magic data (and other skills):

Picky is a very capable exorcist, although she voluntarily left the school of exorcists (mostly because she hated them for being the "Slytherins" of her world).

Outside of her magical abilities she is:

- good at business and dealings

- has a very acute seventh sense of her environment

- superior sense of smell for various situations

- is not a 10/10 fighter but is not afraid to give or receive a blow and is quite resistant in fights

As an exorcist she has a vision outside the regular plane and the company of a companion spirit created by herself, Khiana. A companion spirit, similar to witchers and their familiars; they are small beings that help and react to their owner, with the difference that Khiana when Picky requires it can become a devouring monster to release more of her energy.

other random data:

favorite food: pb&j sandwiches and burguers «they are a damn weakness!!».

Favorite dessert: omelette norvégienne «complicated to prepare, but satisfying to eat»

hated food: precooked food «If I eat it, I remain hungry...»

smell: citrus

strength: hunch and empathy

weakness: insecurity and hungry stomach

favorite physical appearance: eyes? «I think they are fun to put on, but I don't know; they are droopy and I don't have many eyelashes...»

hated physical appearance: «Where do I start?...»

person you respect most: Hoppy «takes good care of the family business, is in a stable relationship, is naturally pretty Even though she hates getting dressed up and most importantly...she's the only one who pays on time out of the "I have to give these shameless people away" trio!»

person you don't want as an enemy: Catnap «You may piss me off with your habit of smoking inside my restaurant, but detectives don't usually last long in this town... and if they do, it's because you better have them on your side.»

hobby: Gardening and horror movies

Some crush?: NEXT QUESTION PLEASE!! «Please, I just got dumped by a buffalo and that relationship left me feeling bad; I don't want to know about relationships for now...»

CLUE AU.

Introducing Bubba Bubbaphan as... Mrs. Peacock.

To Libby/DogDay, do you like any other movies?

Like, for example, Kiki special delivery, Spirited Away, Transformers, Porco Rosso, and My Neighbor Totoro?

Dogday: As you noticed, I'm already renewed. They gave me a new coat, fixed my legs and most importantly… I have a nice new voice box! (It's a girl's voice and it's weird to hear myself like that, but I'm just going to have to get used to it)

Dogday: While I was recovering or I waited between operations I watched a lot of movies from that studio "Gibi"

Dogday: and god; I loved them!! It's a little strange because as a human I looked a lot like several of the girls… especially because of the haircut (and I would have died for a dress that cute)

Dogday: But, I loved Porco Rozzo very much!the planes, the duels; it was all very cool! and the way Porco talks reminds me of how Mr. Angel talks *giggles*

Dogday: …I think Carlo Bugatti And Mr. Bubbaphant would have liked that movie too… Mr. Bubbaphant really liked war movies and Carlo liked airplanes… *doggy sobs*

"Dogday needs a tissue, I'll be right back soon..."

Suspect #1.

Introducing Bobby Bearhug as… Miss Scarlett.

BEFORE THE PLAYCARE- Libby

As mentioned above, Libby did not come from an unstable home environment and does not have very happy memories of it, and she does not normally talk about it… and she will not. This is the information that Playtime Co. had about the little girl at the time she entered playcare.

DW: WARNING. mentions domestic abuse, internalized racism, parental neglect and cultism in non-direct ways; it is not inspired by real events and any similarities are purely coincidental.

ABOUT THE FAITH'S=

From what is reported about the Faith family, it was a family that appeared to be an ordinary family in the [REDACTED] neighborhood of the [REDACTED] district of New Orleans.

For the neighbors, the existence of a second daughter was totally unknown, since no sounds of any infant were heard in their house and nothing was mentioned about a second pregnancy in the family.

ABOUT MR. AND MRS. FAITH=

Noah Faith was the father of the family, no parents or close siblings were known.

He was approximately 38 years old.

Caucasian and brownish brown hair.

He worked at the bank and had been fired for embezzling funds to a "religious" group called [REDACTED].

The description of the minor in custody (Lilibeth Faith) described him as "a man who it is best not to make a sound around, especially if he is angry"(she didn't specifically call him "father", instead she called him "sir").

found dead from stabbing.

Agatha Faith, née Moore.

One known living father (Curtis Moore) whom she cut ties with; allegedly out of social embarrassment.

was approximately 30 years old

Caucasian with black hair, freckled skin [and described by several neighbors as "incredibly pretty"].

worked as a sales clerk in a department store prior to her family joining to [REDACTED]

description of the minor in custody (Lilibeth Faith) was a simple "mother hits me, mother hates me; but, Libby loves her anyway"

found dead from asphyxiation, also had several bruises on her body.

The minor in custody (Lilibeth Faith) called 911 asking for help to help her mother, although she asked that they be silent to avoid her getting angry after her.

michael faith

16 years old

acknowledged son in the family

history of vandalism with fines paid

only known son of the Faiths, according to the testimonies of the neighbors.

the father of the family had put in multiple times to report his disappearance two months before the minor in custody was taken by playtime co.

According to several testimonies from neighbors, it was often said that he was the result of an infidelity on the part of Mrs. Faith because of his darker skin tone than that of his parents and his green eyes.

The minor in custody (Lilibeth Faith) asked a lot about her older brother, as she said that he left one night and did not return again.

ABOUT ANOTHER LIBBY'S RELATIVES=

Other relatives in common with the minor in custody were investigated, only the maternal-grandfather Curtis Moore was found alive.

It is known that he is an 80-year-old man who lives in a retirement home; it is known that his grandson's skin tone is dark. Due to his advanced age and not having a place of his own to live, it was decided to take the minor to the Playtime Co. adoption project.

Before being relocated, the old man asked to meet and say goodbye to the minor, promising to contact them through letters [unauthorized letters are confiscated and checked to determine if the content is suitable to be passed on to the minor].

I can only imagine the look on DogDay’s face when she are told that the guys on the bottom are the same guys on top

Dogday: ... And that Dogday believed that the Smiling Critters in Biggers Bodies were uglies ... *Hate the designs with all her soul*

This is to Libby/DogDay: Are there any other movies and shows you like? Like for example: The Incredible, Monster Inc, Flushed Away, Digimon, Beast Wars

Dogday: hold on mr., I'm barely updating at least 15 years of good films and series, don't make me choose just one !!!
