Now I can hyperfixate slightly more calmly with the knowledge that yes now when people ask who my Ollie is I can drop them this link and force them to read 5k words
Meet Dogday!
Dogday’s a Smiling Critter and a member of the Smaller Bodies Initiative. He was manufactured to run activities at Playcare, and he did so happily until he went searching for a friend one day and discovered a nightmare.
He’s a cocker spaniel
He’s five months old
He’s a massive extrovert
Dogday was the ray of sunshine in Playcare, the glue that stuck everyone together, the one who reminded everybody how much love was in the world. He did this with all his heart. Love and joy are the things he wants his friends and Kitty to feel; he wants to take the rain so they can stand under the umbrella. Nobody told Dogday just how hard it is to feel the pain of all these children.
He’s an ENFJ, or a Protagonist personality type. Extroverted, outgoing, insightful, emotional… although those emotions don’t match the sunny golden of his pendant.
There’s one person that Dogday loves more than anyone else. Catnap didn’t know up for breakfast one day. Dogday sought help to escape Playcare’s dome, scent-tracking his friend as the walls grew whiter and colder. He found Catnap’s purpose. Dogday saw nothing but a grass field filled with purple cats and lavender as he passed out and woke up trapped in metal.
It was cold and dark. The sun was eclipsed. It still hasn’t fully emerged yet.
Catnap is his favourite person, the one he adores. It hurts to know how many pills and needles have been forced into it. Dogday wants to protect it as much as possible, but… how?
Because he’s a big selfless idiot, Dogday wanted Catnap to feel as comfortable as possible. “You can always be yourself around me - I still love you.” In love and appreciation, Catnap spent every second of the day by the puppy’s side, and… yeah. Health problems. Now Dogday needs a breathing apparatus for the rest of his life. Ah well, worth it for Kitty.
A friend gave him a scarf to cover it up with, since, y’know, it’d be kinda hard to explain to the other Smiling Critters that he got lung poisoning from making out with the smoke cat. And also because Dogday now breathes out of slits in his neck, and that kind of thing is a bit disconcerting.
Dogday belongs to the Smaller Bodies Initiative AU! :)
Thanks for checking him out!

This is fascinating! I have a main OC named Manitári (Greek for “mushroom”) whose symbol is the amanita. Mushrooms in general are a fascination of mine so I’m gonna be referencing this :D
Fly amanitas, Amanita muscaria, growing near one of their favorite trees: oak. They frequently form mychorrhizal associations with spruce, pine, cedars, and other conifers. These mushrooms are iconic and easy to recognize! They can be yellow to dark red, and usually have white “warts”, which are remnants of the veil that covered them when they were developing. These mushrooms contain muscimol and are hallucinogenic, and have been used as entheogens by a number of groups of people, primarily in Siberia and Finland. In Siberia, they were often eaten in winter by local people (as well as reindeer!), which is part of why we associate them and their white and red coloring with Christmas! I personally wouldn’t advise eating them, as they can do anything from warm you up bit to cause really vomiting, sleeping for days, and wild delusions of grandeur (a famous story I learned in mycology class involved an older woman accidentally cooking them and thinking she was Jesus, then sleeping for a few days). Their common name of “fly amanita” stems from that they were traditionally used to kill flies in a milk solution.
And with its background:
Welcome to the Smaller Bodies Initiative.

MY BESTIE MADE THIS!!!!!! :3
Rodger supremacy
So I made all the toons genderbent back in march 3rd and finished all of them on the 23rd of march (20 days) but didn’t post them until now because we had a server event when I show them on the 12th of April which I didn’t want any of them to spoil the surprise
I have made of total of 34 toons drawings (some have extra styles or poses) with one of them being a fix by @qibsichan and one a suggestion by @idiotsmart1 / @idiotsmart-cozy-cottage
There is gonna be 4 post of this

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.
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.”
This is from the 2014 Undertale soundtrack and is one of the first songs you hear! The background image is a placeholder by me :)
Made using GarageBand connected to an actual piano.
It doesn't loop but a looping version can be easily created.
Hey there, I’m Qibs! (she/her) Author of the Smaller Bodies Initiative and Destroy-A-Toy! Lovely to have ya here! 💜🫂
