Next chapter is being delayed by a couple days because it’s my little sisters birthday today and we’re throwing a party! I’ll get back to writing it tomorrow though!
What makes you feel rejuvenated? I certainly feel good after getting a chance to be creative! I hope you have enjoyed episode #25! If you like the comic, please subscribe on Webtoon. I also have a surprise this week -- my Ko-Fi membership has gone down from $5 to $3! Wow, what a deal! You can get early access to new comics every single week and get to view them a week earlier than anyone else. 👏
hey so, I just finished the first chapter of my book and also decided a title for it after ages
i have all the story in my head and some random chapters too but I was procrastinating the first one cause I'm terrible with beginnings but now I did it and I'm actually really proud of me
anyways, I had no one else to tell this but I'm way more excited than I should and so if I remained quiet abt it for more five minutes I would explode
IKR I've been trying to come up with a title for my book for 5 MONTHS and I still have absolutely no idea of what's going to be
WHY are titles so hard what the fuck man
the feeling when you write a chapter and keeps coming back to make "a few changes here and there" and ends up with a while different chapter
bonus if you can only write this one chapter because you keep coming back everytime and can't let go 💔💔💔
Here’s the plan!!!
Get idiots ready for the Toy Tour, reasonably hyped
Slam-dunk them onto the train
Introduce the nightmare critters - they’re forced to share a train carriage
Make the critters go “:0” as they’re given rooms while Dogday shits himself because he can’t sleep beside BigNap
Introduction to Ollie and the realisation they’ve turned into a dictator
Grand dinner night and the official announcement of the start of training
Slow realisation that the Toy Tour is rigorously controlled
Mass panic, leading to threats of Destroy-A-Toy
The Tour is now a concentration camp where anyone who objects is killed or threatened
Optional additional ideas:
Someone’s poisoned at the dinner party
Ollie teaches the other toys about things like racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia etc and they’re all horrified because these toys have never seen those concepts before (at least, not that they’re aware of)
Dogday makes friends with Infox, who is @thattiredgamer’s OC; Kather, who is @i-am-in-the-mind-fuck’s OC, and SourTail, who is @bazyboo13’s OC
Possibly a snippet or mention of the cult. You’re not meant to know Destroy-A-Toy’s being ruled by the kitty queen, but for those already in the know it would be great foreshadowing!
Teach the toys the Footloose dance because it would be really funny as a training exercise
The above are the things I gotta do forrrrr this series!
May be shabby now but I’ve got the plans! Stories take time! Especially since this is more an original fic instead of a what-if :)
Okay so I've started writing this thing:
It's Theodore Grambell-centric and also Ollie-centric because I love them both and... Ollie... Ollieeeeeee... I don't know man, that frickin phone somehow became a comfort character
Anyway, I'm reading up on Poppy Playtime lore so I can make the storyline juicier and came across this:
"Please note that working in the Game Station requires you to be a responsible adult."
