There's a new toy on board! Introducing BigNap! (Unless a more eloquent name is suggested!)
Sarificed for research and condemned to an unsustainable body, Theodore Grambell's old body has melted away at the hands of Miss Delight and Harley Sawyer. His mind has been reignited in a different vessel - one twelve feet tall and with the power to tear a school bus in half.
But it's alright, because while BigNap may be vengeful and venomous, he's quite the dear little kitty to those dang Smaller Bodies in the Playcare.
So much so that he's introduced in the very first chapter of Destroy-A-Toy! It's underway!
Now, Bigger Bodies Catnap's question is:
(He asks because his debut is in the very first story for DAT and therefore his formatting must be worked out.)
Big Catnap, as colloquially named by the Critters, children and teachers of the Playcare, is the new-and-improved replacement for that old, faulty thing who cried too much. He is twelve feet tall and an absolute tank - if you ignore the protruding ribcage and ominous growling stomach.
The same as the Catnap found in the original Poppy Playtime. Big Catnap is a large, scrawny creature with a protruding spinal chord and disconcerting slices of ribcage jutting from his paper-thin skin. His eyes are minuscule and set deep into mouth-like sockets. His fur is abyssal-dark felt soft to the touch.
Deep inside his throat, if one were to look, pipes could be found. Who knows what they produce?
Quiet, docile and allegedly "friend-shaped" (according to my friend Foxfire), this Catnap looks like he can kill you but is in fact a cinnamon roll. At least, to people he likes. Otherwise you can expect yourself to be on the plate.
BigNap is possessive over the Playcare children and loving towards toy experiments - but has a VERY strong hostility to humans. This is an issue because of the upcoming Toy Tour…
Theodore gasses the children not out of obligation but out of concern for their health and sleep.
A creature of this size requires LOTS of food. The problem is - he isn’t given the correct amount. Why drain resources for an experiment that may not survive anyway? As such, Big Catnap is constantly just one bite off from a full belly.
His tank possesses MUCH greater quantities of poppy gas - however, it’s watered down. The gas:
Takes up to 10 minutes to knock out children and 30 for adults
Does not leach oxygen
Works slowly but surely to lull the victim to sleep
This is NOT how Smaller Bodies Catnap works. Her smoke is quick-working and oppressive while this Catnap works much more as a calm, steady, peaceful lull to sleep.

Ollie on left, Poppy on right!
Poppy’s parasol is meant to be an actual poppy! Her colours were picked by @idiotsmart1 and @thattiredgamer - purple symbolises royalty!
As for Ollie, they’re much more hands-on and far more likely to set a building on fire, while Poppy can’t because her skirts would crisp up…
I love them a lot man, a lot

In the #ocs-in-the-cult channel, please!
Answer: the Cult of the Destroyed.
If you’ve read ‘Til Queendom Come, you’ll know that the story ends with Catnap starting a cult. This cult is comprised of disabled, rejected or rebellious toys who were sent to be killed at Destroy-A-Toy.
The next series features Dogday struggling to cope with Catnap’s “death” before a source willing to help him reveals that - no, Catnap is not dead, but she’s in a land full of cultists…
Those cultists are you! :D

Ao3 hate bot is going around leaving nasty messages. If you get a comment like this mark it as spam. According to comments it seems to be going to most recent not fandom specific.
Them.
New tumblr header. :)
(Spoilers for Smaller Bodies; no spoilers for Destroy-A-Toy)
For anyone new to the AU, this is Queen Catnap, Dogday, Ollie and Theodore. Here’s a brief description of each one.
Queen Kitty was the first Catnap. Autistic and transgender, she was built with a knockout gas tank in her lungs. Her anger towards PlayCo mounted and she attacked them. She was sent to be killed but instead built a cult following with the other “destroyed” toys.
Dogday is the Smiling Critters’ leader who loves routine and pushes the entire orphanage forward each day. He believes Kitty was killed - he doesn’t know about the cult - and mourns her everyday through prayer and reciting loving memories. He’d get rather a shock when he finds out the truth.
Ollie Playtime is the company’s Security and Comms head. They also control medical supplies, file management and company censorship. They were taken from home and experimented on at 14, and now at 18, they’re using the experimentation blackmail to climb the company’s ranks and gain power.
Theodore Grambell is a tiny child adopted with the sole purpose of experimentation. He never played with the other kids or smiled like they did. For someone so young, he feels lost, empty. He was never given a chance to grow up. He may be sentenced to death soon but for what little life he had, he’s doing to make sure he’s remembered.
They’re my four favourite Smaller Bodies/Destroy-A-Toy characters :)

I reached 150 followers recently!
Huge gracias to anyone following the AU. I’m so grateful to finally be confident enough to share my things <3
Gave in and made a CritterSona, though he’s really just my usual Sona, since he’s a shapeshifter-
@sailorjules26 @qibsichan (tagging y’all because 😎 look at me, i’m so beautiful)
Yeah so I also drew this
I can see them as besties :) specifically I have a thing where they were just coworkers (Glisten worked as Vee’s makeup artist) until he got very badly drunk last night and accidentally confessed his own self-hate to her, and ever since she sorta… adopted him
She’s got the grumpy aunt vibe
But like, the aunt who at Christmas buys you the best gifts ever
Here’s the version without the pride flags in case anyone’s parents get mad:
ADOPTS IMMEDIATELY
THIS THING IS SO COOL WHAT
Meet Yarnaby, the presumed chapter 4 villain!!
Here’s my attempt at the silly guy:
THAT. See that?
Ollie, my baby, are you finally showing yourself?!
This is ironic as hell because just two days ago, I wrote this as a concept.
I associate Ollie with eyes. After all, they can see you… always.
They know you saw the shrine.
They know you entered the gas production zone.
They know you’ve grabbed the key they sent.
Friendly as they sound, are they really looking out for you?
They might, as their eye flashes red in the trailer when danger approaches, as if to alert you…. But they could have just led Yarnaby right to you.
-☎️☎️☎️-
Chapter 4 contains a lot of things that already exist in my AU, such as the cave system and jail. Awesome! I’m hoping they overlap, and also that we get more Ollie content since I want to see if I’m right.
In my head at least, Ollie is a test subject (NOT a toy) who was used for transplant testing. They survived with plastic skin. Watching children around them suffer under the knowledge they provided, Ollie slowly descends into a panicky, flighty, control freak mindset; the only way to stop the experiments reciprocating onto others is to see everything, all at once, all the time. And only then will they have enough blackmail to convince Harley Sawyer to stop.
We’ll see :D
(Also, please draw Yarnaby and PJ loafing like cats, I wanna do this when I have the time so badly lol)
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!!
I love Smaller Bodies man
Hey there, I’m Qibs! (she/her) Author of the Smaller Bodies Initiative and Destroy-A-Toy! Lovely to have ya here! 💜🫂
