DOGDAY SUNNYHOWL - DESIGN AND DATA.
INFORMATION AND DATA.
Name: Dogday Sunnyhowl.
Age: 24
Height: 260 mts/8'5 fts.
Species: Smiling critter creature. Dog (Cocker Spaniel with a "bite" of Heeler).
Occupation: dressmaker/assistant.
Genre: male[trans] (he, they).
Sexuality: Demi-pan.
Magical usser type: Witcher.
Birth place: Traumnatch (The forgotten towns).
Birth day: july 21th.
Personality:
Dogday, also called "the witcher of cannes" or "Didi" is a person with a positive and kind attitude, always willing to make a friend or be a shoulder of support for those who need it; he usually breaks the stereotype of the "evil and opportunistic witcher" that usually exists in the capital; However, she often uses these attitudes as a way to tease others by coming up with a genuinely sweet response instead.
He is someone who is too expressive, which is why it is evident when he is in a bad mood, sad, or something bothers him no matter how much he pretends that he is fine; He is a little anxious when someone notices that he is not well. He doesn't like to talk about his own negative emotions or his own bad experiences, so he will be evasive about the topic.
He still maintains certain more typical witch behaviors intact and even shameless (using magic unconsciously, flying with him staff over long distances, having a flirtatious tone when she needs something or convincing someone in that way,know the law and use it against another person taking advantage of legal loopholes, the constant assistance of his minion, being good at reading people, having problems with said city dwellers, etc.)
and although he has a good character, NEVER make him angry. Believe me, you will regret it immediately.
about his work and daily life.
Before arriving in Main City, he worked in his hometown as a designer and seamstress of hats for a old witcher named Hatter-Pendragon and on his days off he helped in the family library. He worked well but it was not his specialty; until he was recruited by an old acquaintance of his known as "P.Layer" or "Mr. Angel" (as he says affectionately) to work as a designer at his store; tripling his salary with the only condition that he had to move to Main City within a maximum period of 15 days.
(Dogday is not stupid, on many occasions anyone would think it was a scam; but he had known Mr. P.Layer for so long and had such trust in him that he accepted without thinking twice); so much so that he almost gave a co-worker a heart attack. job for his effusive reaction.
In the clothing store, called"Poppy's Wardrope", he works together with Poppy (owner of the store and main promoter of the place), P.Layer (administrator) and currently works as an assistant to Kissy (expert designer in bigger body sizes); he primarily handles doll carving, accessories and embroidery clients.
and he has a "hound's nose" in case he sees any fraudulent dealings or ill-gotten contracts for the store; For which he has the extra position of "fraud detector" which is also financially remunerated.
He usually works from 8 to 8, Monday to Saturday; on Sundays at noon. But every day he arrives as exhausted as he is satisfied with his work.
Magic data (and other skills):
is not very physically skilled; but even without using magic it can be defended in different ways:
-cunning to get out of trouble.
-ability to analyze problems and react quickly.
-tricks to calm the situation (from reasoning, convincing and even flirting).
-when everything works out Sam, a hit with a stick is a reasonable option
-if the fight escalates, he can bite excessively hard (no, seriously; he once broke a metal pipe, be careful)
Like a witcher and talking about magic,
Dogday has the advantage that it does not need any external element to use it and that it was raised in an environment where witchcraft was common; so it is a fairly versatile user of it.
the magic of it is called 'lumini di Soicannes' or 'sun of cannes'; considered in the mythology of witchers that "light that gives life and reason to things".
The uses that he gives to it are=
#1 light up: Like any respected light magic he can generate small spheres of light that illuminate...there's not much science to it, although if you control the pressure in the spheres he can cause them to catch fire.Sometimes when he is very happy he generates them unconscious.
#2 enhance other users: Yes, the dog has a history of getting into some fights (many times he ends up dragged or due to major causes).
and if; At first it doesn't sound like a good idea to give a "boost" in a fight.
But put yourself in his shoes, he is the first to know that he is bad at fighting and that his way of handling magic is the least optimal in those situations, what can he do to not get in the way? Easy, provide energy for his battle patner. He can give an energy boost of both physical, magical or emotional energy in some cases. of course that exhausts it immensely (and is sometimes not as functional with users who are exorcists).
#3 light illusions: Have you heard the expression "with smoke and mirrors work wonders"? Well, he brings that expression to reality.
He can use light to his advantage to alter his physical appearance, physically disappear, pretend to be someone else or create a copy of himself without him being there. This hability can affect another persons and objects too.
#4 give life to inanimate objects and give them small commands: the text is very explanatory, but in greater detail; if any sphere of energy voluntarily comes into contact with any object; Dogday can give you a command with the words "Dogday says…" as a keyword to give a command.
#5. Self-defense: for fighting a fight his magic sucks, but for protecting himself he's a victory. If he senses a threat his body can turn a part of his body intangible while the threat passes through him harmlessly, he can recover from damage quickly and he burns through contact. This self-defense also works with poisons or foreign elements, including alcohol; so canonically it is impossible for him to get drunk or poisoned (unless it is a poppy).
OVERFLOWING MAGIC FORM?
The fact that he is a witcher and therefore does not need an external means to externalize it does not prevent him from suffering from an "overflow"; vulgar way of saying that magic took over your body and makes it intangible and invulnerable; with the with the consequence of affecting the consciousness and the "I" of the witcher.and if they lose that physical notion for a long time, it has the unfortunate end that the magic consumes them physically.However, if they learn to handle it, it can be a plus point with them.
In the case of Dogday, this overflow arises when he allows himself to be consumed by negative emotions (although he claims that once when he was little, if he hadn't activated it, he would have died).

Smiling Critters ToyLand Au.
The first meeting between CatNap and DogDay was... unexpected to say the least.
WELCOME TO PLAYTOWN/POPPY PLAYTOWN- CHARACTER REFERENCE #1.
CATNAP NUITLUNE- DESIGN AND DATA.
Information data:
Name: Catnap NuitLune.
Age: 24
Height: 320 mts/10'4 fts.
Species: Smiling critter creature. Cat (Maine coon cat).
Occupation: private detective.
Genre: male (he, him).
Sexuality: anthro.
Magical usser type: cursed.
Birth place: Gasetúde (Playgrounds).
Birth day: august 8th (not real birthday, it's just a symbolic date).
Personality:
He is usually a reserved, quiet man, little bit sarcastic and to a certain extent withdrawn and in his world. Because of his type of work and the night schedules he manages; It is common to see him asleep during the day anywhere in his work clothes at the Piggy family restaurant or near Kickin's cabin (or in general keeping him company while he rests with one of his friends).Although he usually seems to be a lazy person, and some of his own comments towards himself; He is someone who puts the people he cares about above his own well-being and is loyal to his friends to an absurd degree.
On the other hand, topics such as his family, his past in "beta-unit 1006" or the "prototypism" tend to make him uncomfortable and he will skip the topic immediately or pretends he needs another cigarette (even if he's smoking a new one)..
A funny gag with him is that he usually appears out of nowhere in favor of the situation and scaring everyone at the same time while repeating «it's not my turn, but...»
about his work and daily life.
He is a As mentioned above, he is a private detective who, due to his predilection, works the night shift (which is why he spends the rest of the day half asleep). He works for the detective agency "Mob Inc." Therefore, his way of dressing in civilian clothes at work does not have many differences and he maintains a dark color palette. In that agency he works only with Mr. Mob (founder and chief financial officer) and his "brother" and day shift colleague Boxy Boo.
He ended up getting entangled in the world of detectives due to an altercation in his youth where he tried to steal the wallet of who would be his boss and was given two options: hand him over to the police or work for him and have a formal job.
"Magic" data (and other skills):
like a cursed, it has the standard abilities that they generally have without the need for it to be activated =
- improved brute force.
- hyperdeveloped senses.
-permission and knowledge of handling weapons of his rank.
But, this can be activated when your body is under a very high stress situation or in a situation of extreme danger.
His curse has 3 phases=
Phase 1: activated.
His body begins to secrete and expel poppy smoke (a reminder that poppies are an inhibitor of magic, and for beings like witches it is a lethal poison) through the respiratory tract and his character, due to the pain it causes, becomes aggressive and alert. ; If panic does not take over, he can deactivate it voluntarily.
Phase 2: controlled/stable form.
It's the shape they wanted to achieve when they experimented with it in the first place.
His body begins to adapt to the poppy gas and has a "mild growth spurt"; The gas also goes from being just a sleeping pill to a tool to generate illusions in its favor and can generate the gas or poppy substance in a more solid way in its claws or fangs. His attitude also changes, becoming more sinic and playful; like a hunter who enjoys torturing his prey.
He can be reasoned with to a certain degree and if he realizes that he has hurt someone important to him he can revert to his activated form.
If he spends too much time in that way...he can get out of control.
Phase 3: uncontrolled/ unstable form.
It is what went wrong and made him consider a failure.
If he spends too much time in his controlled form the Poppy Smoke itself "takes over" Catnap's body, giving him the grotesque appearance of a skeletal cat surrounded by smoke; the only trace of his actual body being his eyes and mouth injected with poppy gas.
You can't reason with him...
You can't fight him...
You can only do two things = run away and pray that his energy runs out quickly so that he returns to his base form.
Medical notes:
-He is under strict medical treatment so that one day his curse cannot affect him.
-Even though he is stable, due to his physical modification, his body feels the need for the poppy substance; So as contradictory as it may sound, you are allowed to smoke a certain limited amount of cigarettes solely made from these flowers while investigating an alternative for his case; His trademark is "the hour of joy."
-Bobby is his designated therapist.
other random data:
favorite food: niçoise salad «un delice~♪».
Favorite dessert: beignets «i love desserts, mais;the beignets are my biggest weakness».
hated food: militar cookies «...bad memories...».
smell: lavender + poppy.
strength: loyalty, insight, thirst for research.
weakness:self-deprecation.
favorite physical appearance: star-freckles «everyone loves the étoiles, Right?».
hated physical appearance:«that stupid mark».
person you respect most: kickin «I owe a lot to that stupid coq»
person you don't want as an enemy: Bobby «She's scary when I'm not on time for treatment... and boy, nothing scares moi».
hobby:sleeping and gossip.
Some crush?: ... «Mr. Witcher».
WELCOME TO PLAYTOWN/POPPY PLAYTOWN AU-LORE AND BASIC INFORMATION.
(Yeahh...The name is ridiculous, but it is the one that best fits what I want to do.-)
“WELCOME TO PLAYTOWN!! The place where the unimaginable can become reality; where magic coexists with day to day and where the entire earth is a constant rough diamond in exploration,where things that one could only imagine in dreams can come true, where even something like a smile has power to turn in colours at this gray world..."
-Elliot Ludwig {founder of Playtown and famous explorer}.
Who Is playtown?.
Unlike to what it might seem, Playtown IS NOT a Town, it's actually a continent discovered by explorer Elliot Ludwing in the year 17XX; but it remains with the original name that he gave it out of respect for his memory... And because the irony was so funny to them that they got used to the fact .
Playtown's Geography.
It also has several great capitals, cities and towns in coastal, mountainous, desert, industrial areas, forests, frosts and some skyislands in the clouds (How have they not flown away? I leave them with the doubt-).
Within the continent there are some regions (called "Great zones") of interest which are=
Main city (Great Capital).
Elliot's Height's (oldest zone).
GamesSquare.
PlayGround.
The forgoten Towns.
Map mapped by Bron T´ Saurus.
[I make the map, I know; it's awful].
Its main currency is the playcoin, however in more rural areas galiostro crystal is still used (a specific type of crystal that functions as a quasi-infinite energy receptor, and which of course still maintains constant use in the territory).
His main language (for the convenience of the script) is English (although it can vary depending on how much he wants to make a comic in Spanish, and if someone who speaks another language makes a drawing he should not strictly stick to English); accents are welcome.
The native language (most frequently spoken on the Sky Islands or Forgotten Towns) is called Toynabe.
Magic in Playtown?
As mentioned above, magic is an innate element in the playtown continent; something in which Ludwig in his research and expeditions stood out as an authentic "Serendipity" to him, which caused many of the natural phenomena typical of the continent; such as the islands of the sky that remain constant above it or that the climate in some sectors can change up to 16 times per year.
In the only places where this element seems to follow the conditions of the rest of the world is in the places where there are large fields of poppies (which has given rise to thinking that this flower has canceling properties of it).
Currently and due to the earth's own influence, all inhabitants have the ability to use magic and regulations have been made so that it does not get out of control.
How is it classified the magic users?
Although in Ludwig's time he looked at his surroundings with fascination; For other contemporary explorers they were simply classified as "good people" and "bewitched people"; To date, normalization and various investigations by Leith Pierre (successor of Elliot's investigations about the continent) gave rise to the current classification, which has 6 classifications of magic users; which are=
Magicians:
Focused on laws and classification studies.
Descendants of great academics and "good people" who found a way to make sense of magic under complex systems of spells, mantras and the academic class system in order to have permission to use it freely; usually they specialize in the theoretical field, regulation, tax rulings and head the Playtown legal system.
To externalize their magic they use wands.
Alchemists:
focused on progress and sciences.
Descended and interested in workers who tried to import various refined non-native materials from the continent and make them work; They have found a way to mix magic with technologies; and in turn, bringing back the branch of alchemy from the past.
They share a hybrid system between academic and practical to have permission to use it freely.
In general, they tend to focus on heavy jobs, such as mechanics, construction and experimentation; and in rare cases in pharmacy or economy.
To externalize their magic they use alchemical circles on watches or embroidery.
Shamans:
focused on physical and mental health.
knowledgeable about the body and mind of a person to the point of being able to decipher many diseases before they manifest themselves. Although it is common for them to dedicate themselves to medicine regardless of the type of education they had; It is said that to identify a true shaman you must ask them for a prediction.
They usually dominate in the branches of medicine, nursing, psychology, psychiatry… and for some reason in divination.
To externalize their magic they use cards.
Exorcists:
focused on religion and spirituality.
The great exponents when explanations do not exist and the world beyond entertainment becomes present and calms the spiritual needs of people; They usually have a type of cloistered education and many dogmatically prefer to remain celibate.
Over time they have gained enough influence that some have enough influence to join the branch of magicians.
Actualmente la religión predominante es el "prototypism", who surrender all their devotion to those they consider the prototype of all living beings.
To externalize their magic they use jewelry with unique engravings.
Witchers:
descendants of original inhabitants of the continent and focused on conservation and nature.
They are the only ones who refused to enter the system, not much information is told beyond the rumors of their abilities with the paranormal dealings and anecdotes of several encounters of exorcists and disappearance of soldiers in their territories.
They are the only ones who don't need any external element to externalize magic, however a witch will always have a familiar.
Cursed:
originally a punishment for those who used to use their magic in destructive ways by being stripped of their magic; and now it is given a military design thanks to the discovery of "the doctor."
That discovery was that he discovered that when a body is of its magic it gains resistance and strength beyond imagination; and thanks to various experiments, the degree of controlling and transmuting the user of it according to their range is reached.
Their education takes the boarding school and academy system in equal parts.
It is common to see them dedicated to various military, police, navy… etc. branches. Although there is the case that when they desert they go to witch territory.
They cannot externalize magic, in some cases they can even cancel it when the curse is activated.
They are recognized by certain types of specific markings on the right arm that identify their rank.
Extra notes=
Witchers and magicians hate each other because of issues of culture clash, the systematic segregation and because in matters of law it becomes a dangerous war to involve either party.
The exorcists and the cursed do not relate very well either, more than anything because of the relationship of subordination that exists.
Curiously, the cursed and witchers tend to correlate a lot and see themselves as equals; it is common for several cursed people to desert and go to forgotten towns to reside.
Shamans are "social butterflies" with the other branches, and because health is not denied to anyone.
Magicians and alchemists will always work in synergy when they are together.
to a lesser extent and for warlike matters, alchemists and cursed people can relate in a neutral way
For the safety of half the world, constant diplomatic relations are maintained between magicians and exorcists to adjust terms.
About the Scientist...
There is a debate whether this problem with experimentation can occur since the time of Harley Sawyer or if Elliot Ludwig can be blamed as a side effect of his arrival.
Yeah... these sons of a *CENSURE BEEP* still existing. And they will continue to annoy the normal lives of these non-humanoid beings.
Its main indelible mark being the change in the meaning of the "cursed" in a military manner. and it is known that they have had under their control a family of exorcists that is equivalent to a royal family in the disappeared city of Gasétude, in Playgrounds.
And if you have questions…
Give me patience, when I start posting to the SCs! final designs and datas about them, I will open an ask and answer any of your questions.

Well, I still reserve the lore and structure of the au, but in simple words it is a= no humans, no experiments, just the characters from which the toys are inspired in a world where the toys are THE living beings; and in an environment similar to a Ghibli film(including magic, technology and of course... WAR-).
With SC! icons there is not much to explain, of course; except for the review that Hoppy and Catnap had, more than anything because she was not satisfied with the first design.

MORE ABOUT LIBBY AND #1202.
(this Sketch are the first concept about Libby and Dogday + a little Bit of lore of them).
MORE ABOUT LIBBY:
As mentioned above, she was an orphan who ended up in the playtime CO adoption program to be adopted by one of the employees at playcare, and was selected as to be one of the smiling critters, specifically; Dogday. (I don't think that the gender of the children is a great influence in deciding which children will be experiments for the bigger bodies initiative.)
She lost her parents because of a "strange religion" so the topic is something delicate for her.
Originally due to all the reasons, the team of scientists wanted to place it in "experimentation" as soon as possible (#1189-#1201); However, it started to be a problem when a certain Playtime manager had taken a liking to her and had her under some protection.
She was known for being a quite sociable and charismatic child among other orphans, however with adults she was a completely different thing being withdrawn and quiet.
She used to be constantly hurt and wearing Band-Aids (playTime co. trademark) due to her own childhood hyperactivity and was often an easy target for older children caused by the panic of not being adopted. (Libby in general did not usually betray them or return evil because she did not see the point of revenge).
Extra note: he reason for her appearance in the story (specifically her haircut and several of his clothes) is based on several protagonists of Ghibli films.
She favorite food was the po' boys sandwiches and chicken and waffles (which causes a misunderstanding when, already converted into dogday, he said "man, how much I would kill to eat a po' boy" and catnap left him the body of a deceased child).
Her favorites Playtime Co. toys are the smiling critters, Candy cat and PJ pug-a-pillar (although Libby was only able to buy 2 smiling critters at the toy store during his entire stay at playcare)
She hates the playtime Co. Doctor's, according to her because they were very rude and scary.
Libby "died" at the age of 9 due to an attack by the prototype.
About Dogday/#1202:
It should be noted that Libby's clear annoyance and confusion at being turned into dogday made it difficult for the playtime co. scientists deal with him.
The biggest problem in being turned into dogday in a curious way was not the fact that it was referred to as masculine; Instead, they put Dr. Sawyer's voice on the voice box.
extra note: dogday has no problem being referred to as a boy (he/him), however it was VERY confusing for him at first and many times he did not respond or had a hard time saying that; so he started referring to himself in the third person "dogday says..." or "dogday thinks...". He keeps his true identity a secret so that there is no confusion about what to call him (although he will be happy when he is treated femininely)
Returning to the topic of the voice box, this was a strategy of scientists who were aware of the fear and rejection that Dr. Harley Sawyer and that unlike Elliot Ludwing, he did not have a very charismatic personality or very kind to them in general. So, adding the fact that they had to turn Libby into an experiment, they thought that if Dogday had the same voice and interacted with the little ones in a friendly way, they could trick the children into confusing the smiling critter's voice with that of the scientist. (Dogday refused to collaborate; being the one who fears and rejects the doctor the most, so he learned to imitate the cartoon's voice as best as possible).
That made him create a sworn enmity with the scientists; constantly punishing him when the children did not see him, denying him food and when they gave him food it was portions of poor quality raw meat (which made Dogday prefer to endure hunger than eat it).
Not counting that enmity with the scientists, due to his duties in the counselor's office as an assistant and "therapy dog" for the children who came, he had a broader perspective that there were "angel employees" and "evil employees." even witnessing when one was upset about the whereabouts of one of the children he was going to adopt and hearing their complains about not being able to get out of there.
About... PLAYER?!:
(hell yeah... This story is more complicated...)
Remember when I mentioned that the reason Libby hadn't been experimented on before was because a high-up Playtime official had taken a liking to her? well, whoever she was the player is the person.
At first both were irrelevant to each other's lives (the player because he was just another worker, and Libby because of her shyness with adults); However, after an absurd incident with Barry's toy, it was enough for them to meet.
Once Libby had come into confidence with Player, she can't pronounce his name correctly, so she affectionately call to him as "Mr. Angel" and ran to hug him, give him drawings and crafts made in class whenever she could.
The scientists thought that perhaps it was a ruse to get the girl to believe in him, in any case they knew that he had already done more terrible things for the company... but they were shocked to know that he was taking the issue of Libby seriously as a legitimate adoption. even giving her gifts along the way (including the famous "tragedy dress").
Once Player entered the complex adoption process to be able to take Libby from Playcare, he learned the worst side of the scientists and managers of Playtime Co.; He spent two whole years fighting for it until he was able to find a legal loophole where either the girl would be handed over to him or he would publicly declare everything the company has done without caring that it would sink him in the process.
...unfortunately the day he was going to take her, she disappeared and only a bloody piece of the sunflower dress she was wearing that day appeared; and scientists left her for dead in an accident in the restricted area.
After Libby's disappearance and "dead", Player was never able to return to playcare so he demanded to be changed sections shortly before Dogday went into operation. They were never able to cross paths again.
a massacre and 10 years later; They cross paths again. Dogday cannot recognize his "Mr. Angel" and only called him that because it was the first time in a long time that he heard friendly footsteps; However, the mere fact that he referred to "Angel" and that player assumed that all the bigger bodies were children, it didn't take him long to realize that that poor ragged dog would be his sweet little Libby.
The shock of that possibility was so great that the mere idea made him remain paralyzed while the bigger dog said his monologue before he warned him to run away from there.
Extra note: in the timeline where he did react in time and saved Dogday from that cruel fate, he couldn't help but burst into tears and hug him, begging for forgiveness. while dogday would be confused.
About Theodore Grambel/Catnap/#1188:
(Let's not lie to each other, everyone even me came for this-)
Ohh boy... How I can start this?...
Their relationship was one-sized from minute 0.
Libby wanted to be friends with Theo however she wanted, because she considered him to be a very shy and quiet boy; Theodore, she tried to talk about him all the time with different topics until she could find a common topic.
Theodore for his way... he only considered her annoying and a waste of time to spend with his true friend, 1006.
Which got worse when Libby realized that, like her, he was a fan of the smilling critters show and that it bothered him that Catnap had disappeared from the shelves (she was even able to give him his catnap stuffed animal to keep him happy; which he still thinks is a nuisance but he appreciates the stuffed animal)
When Theodore disappeared, Libby got really sad; while Theo couldn't care less that it was Libby's... that is, until her resistance to her poppy gas became present and Catnap had to be more aware of her. (in the end it could be useful to his angel)
dogday also strived to be friendly with catnap and that it will integrate with the others.
That unilateral dynamic is cut when the theme of the "hour of joy" becomes present.
dogday understands everyone's motives in wanting to participate; but it starts to be a problem for catnap when your "and there's no other way?" along with their “and then what?” They made other toys start to doubt the prototype... that annoyance towards Dogday turned into legitimate hatred.
Extra note: In an alternative line where Theo likes Libby things would be slightly different, he would be rude because he doesn't know how to be sweet with her and he would even ask 1006 for advice on how to be romantic (of course it would end in failure).
Despite everything, for Dogday things would only end up being him alone, being the last smiling critter standing, completely a prisoner and feeling stupid for having wanted to be friends with that thing called catnap.
A DOGDAY HEADCANON=
While it is debated whether Dogday is a child or a former employee of PT CO.; I had the crazy idea of making Dogday's person a ghibli-type girl (but with a disastrous end).
Dogday was experiment #1202. Before she to be Dogday, he was a girl named Lilibeth Faith.
Lilibeth (can yo call her Libby) was just a little girl with bad luck, who fell into even worse luck who just wanted a home or at least spend every day well in playcare.
Libby and Catnap.
For Libby, catnap was a kind of Totoro for Satsuki and Mei. A giant creature that she saw in a friendly way. For Catnap, Libby was a nuisance. But he had to keep an eye on her due to the anomaly of initially being immune to red gas.
Of course, after becoming dogday and realizing that he was only studying her, he has some anger on him.(Dogday has done).
The dress of the tragedy.
The scientists at Playtime CO. Due to the initial abnormality of her resistance to poppy gas, she was seen as an undeniable candidate to be an experiment for the bigger bodies initiative. However, they had a problem: a certain high-ranking Playtime CO official. He had become attached to the girl, and had protected her from her to even legitimately adopt her. However; The prototype, out of curiosity, intervened in favor of the scientists; him tricking her by pretending to be Theodore and making her follow his voice until he was able to wound her almost mortally to hand her over to the scientists.
Because of Libby's critical condition, they had to turn her into an experiment in a hurry.The torn dress with dried blood is the only proof of her past that Dogday has left.
Yeahh... about that Smiling Critter AU...
(i'm the only one who organizes them by color? Yeah? Ok).
This Alternative universe it's very simple=
Imagine toys from playtime CO. in a universe where they are characters in a world of a construction similar to the Ghibli films (and since the idea began with the SC, I will publish them first, more or less explaining their roles later).
Do not confuse; They may not be the monsters of the game universe, but they are still PRETTY big=
(because you can't see the details from afar, captures of all of them up close)

AHHH!!
DAMMIT!!
I really wish we could save him :(
I'm making a fanfic about saving him and it's barely done lmao
Also my player design!! Grumpy old man I love him so much
I feel like BBI Dogday had the cartoon Dogday voice as his normal voice, but at some point his voice box became heavily damaged and now it sounds way different
Also I don’t think of him as being an adult but more like a kid turned into a toy like everyone else
Chat what if I made a smiling critters AU where they have expanded backstories with parents and trauma and stuff and has the vibe of the Owl House and other teen shows????
Ooooohhhh I have so many ideas
Ok my Poppy Playtime phase might be coming back so here are my interpretation of the heights for the smiling critters BBI’s from tallest to shortest
Catnap
Craftycorn
Bubba Bubbaphant
Dogday
Hoppy Hopscotch
Kickin Chicken
Bobby Bearhug
Picky piggy
I might start posting PPT content, but I’ll still be posting some ATA
Heya Smiling Critter Community!! I’ve been planning to do these for a while so hopefully I will this time, so time to introduce some Catnap and Dogday keychains! I should note that this is only an interest check, so keep in mind these will only be made if I see enough interest in them <3
Poll after the images!

For those curious, heres the enamel pin design @qibsichan was talking about! I made it a while ago but I still like how it looks so if youd like i could sell this as a first!
Poll time!
Finally got around to finishing the rest of the Smiling Critters! I’m happy with how they turned out!
Sleep well, little one 🌙💜

If you’ve never seen me before, hi! My name’s Qibs! I’m an AO3 author.
Here’s my series: the Smaller Bodies Initiative! “A cat with deadly knockout gas and a dog with seperation anxiety are imprisoned in an orphanage. The only thing keeping them sane is each other.”
May update this page. Lovely to be here. 💜
Here’s DogDay and Catnap without the stars with shading! I might do the other smiling critters in this style if I get around to it.
Another Catnap drawing! I might draw the other smiling critters soon
SBI cover art! 🩵💛❤️ ☀️🌙 ❤️💛🩵

Prepped and ready for the Toy Tour premiere!
