What Happens After The End?

More canon compliant-ish than my other AUs. All characters are 21+ and mentally as such. All are cartoony critters as well.

[afterlifecritters]

May I ask the nightmare critters how they got a job in hell?

“We all died thinking of vengeance. So, we met the reaper and asked for revenge. He gave us all referrals.”

[afterlifecritters]

wait, so, in this Poppy actually blows up the factory. What happened to Angel/Player? Are they still alive? Did they free the orphans or are they all dead?

Wpuldn’t you like to know, Weather Boy

[afterlifecritters]

wait, so if the smiling critters are here. And the minis are there too….what about the other toys/experiments? Are they all just, dead dead or like, just in a different part of the forest/valley?

Hell’s Waiting Room:

“Why am I here? I brought joy to children the world over!”

“Oh CRAM IT old man.”

“Olliver? Why are YOU-“

“I’m here as well, Father.”

“POPPY!? Are ANY of my creations not here?”

The waiting room door opened… two critters wearing devil horn headbands walk out. A Frog and an Alligator.

“Sup, chucklefucks! Welcome to your eternal torment!”

“And OUR eternal reward!”

“Why- You’re Doctor Sawyer’s creations!

“Apbupbup- No mentioning the metal bastard! He’s still alive… somehow.”

“Your punishments for all time will beeeee-“

“Elliot Ludwug! For the profane acts you committed, albiet with good intentions, you will be forced to live through the lives of every being created via your dark necromancy!”

“Poppy Ludwig! For blowing up the factory and causing the deaths of many, many innocent souls, you’ll be sentenced to 3,000 lifetimes in solitary confinment.”

“WHAT?! But I just-“

“You sentenced hundreds if not thousands of souls to their deaths because YOU couldn’t stand to live anymore. Murder Suicide.”

“Sucks. To be you. Poppy.”

“Prototype-“

“His name is Olliver-“

“That’s his deadname. We’re in Hell; not the South. We respect people’s self identification.”

“Prototype. For… murder, grooming of children, mutilation of children, mental torture, mental abuse, physical abuse, murder, and maaaany other crimes…”

“Your punishment is…”

“Garten of BanBan.”

“NO! NO YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME THAT’S INHUMANE! I’m JUST A LITTLE GUY!”

“And you can’r skip any dialogue or cutscenes. Must find any easter egg or secret. And any deaths means restarting the game.”

[afterlifecritters]

do the other critters know how to do things from before they died/went to Playcare too? Or is it just Hoppy?

“Everyone knows… some stuff. Bubba can recall his favorite cereal brand… Uh, Kickin remembers having an older brother…”

“Crafty… She- has memories she rather wishes she could forget…”

[afterlifecritters]

😭😭😭

OH MY GOSH!! HOOOOOPPPPYYYYY!!!! THAT’S SK BEAUTIFUL AND SO SAD!!

LET ME GIVE YOU A HUG!,😭😭😭

“Nononono- NOBODY other than KICKIN or DAY touches me!”

[afterlifecritters]

did Hoppy get into Whittling before or after dying?

“After. I have… faint memories of… BEFORE playcare when I had a family.. Sitting ob my grandad’s lap and watching him whittle. But I only ever got the time to when I died and wound up here…”

She stops for a moment and puts down the carving knife. “I hope he’s okay… Screw my parents, but Grandad was always good to me. Wonder what his afterlife is like…”

[afterlifecritters]

awwww!!

Hoppy making something for CatNap is so cute!☺️

Who knew she was such a softie, hehehehe🤭

But what’s CatNap doing on a storm cloud? How’d he get there? Wasn’t he with Crafty Bobby and DogDay?

(…She’s whittling a figurine of CatNap being asleep on a stormcloud.)

[afterlifecritters]

Where's Hoppy? How's she doing?

“Wuh- oh, Hi! I’m uh. Whittling.” She shows a small brick of wood and a carving knife

“…Habit from the memories going to um- make something for Nap. As an apology for trashing his place, ya know?”

As she works… a form takes shape in the wood.

…

It’s CatNap, blissfully asleep ontop of a stormcloud.

[afterlifecritters]

Kickin, do you still take care of your feathers?

“That’s a dumb question. Do I still take care of my-“

Prowler sound effect.

“…Yes I take care of my feathers! Thank you for the interesting and insightful question!”

[afterlifecritters]

To Kickin Chicken

Are you still good with your skateboard skills?

“H-Hell yea I am! Plus since this is the afterlife, even if I totally wipe out I’m fine after like 5 minutes.”

“He once faceplanted so hard his beak was stuck in the ground like a Looney Toons bit.”

[afterlifecritters]

Plot twist all of the critters end up in a polycue at the end🥹

[afterlifecritters]

Okay, let me see if ive got all the AU couples/relationships correct so far.

Crafty, DogDay, and CatNap are in a throupel (which Bobby will soon be joining, making it a quadruple).

Kickin and Bubba both have crushes on each other but after Bubba’s rang Kickin is NOT on speaking terms with him currently (wonder what their next meeting with each other is gonna be like cause I don’t think Bubba knows Kickin heard him)

and Picky has a crunch on DogDay, which I’m pretty sure isn’t Requited since she hates CatNap (also does she know about the poly? And if the feelings ARE requited would that mean she’d be joking that too or not?)

…did I get it all correct so far?

All correct so far! *Gives you a gold star sticker!*

[afterlifecritters]

Wait, the last bit with Bubba, was that Kickin or DogDay? They got similar colors so I wasn’t sure

Kickin. Italic orange = Kickin

[afterlifecritters]

Okay, question, when and where did Crafty, DigDay, and CatNap (don’t know the ship name) become a thropel (like before or after HOJ/before or after death) and when and where does Bobby enter their Poly?

So!

To put a looooong story short.

Each critter, when they died, was given… a bunch of memories. Of how they’d have lived their lives if they hadn’t been turned into toys. To mentally catch them up with their chronological ages.

They’re all, mentally mature and around 23 to 24ish.

DogDay and CatNap were a thing together pre becoming toys, though that was just a childhood crush on eachother that somehow became an actual relationship now that they’re both free and whole. (Relationship started Pre Deaths)

CatNap and Crafty come from the fact that

1.) CatNap as a BBI protected Crafty and provided her with his blood for paint

2.) In the memories they were given, CatNap was a musical actor and he and Crafty shared *many* performances together.

(Relationship started post deaths)

Crafty and Day come from the fact that, once DogDay died he and Crafty become close in the afterlife. A few minutes in the mortal world = a few WEEKS in the afterlife. (Relationship started Post Death)

Bobby and CatNap comes from Bobby being a fervent worshipper of the prototype and CatNap’s right hand. (Realtionship started Pre Death)

Bobby to Crafty was Post Death.

DogDay to Bobby was post death.

All very convoluted. Because I’m a WEIRDO

(That was the SHORT version?)

Yes, shut up-

(Okay what about me and Bubba-)

Bubba died first, you died soon after, you got REALLY clingy and developed a deep crush that you denied up until recently.

(Oh.)

[afterlifecritters]

lol, was not expecting Crafty, DogDay, and CatNap to be a thropel, but I’m digging it. Question is, will Bobby be joining into a quadruple????

Correct.

[afterlifecritters]

Wow 🤣🤣, okay. But what's Bobby gonna do?

“I’m thinking no cuddles.”

“Noooooo!”

“For a MONTH!”

“NOOOOOO!”

“…Will I be allowed cuddles?”

“Of course, CatNap! You’re my poor, sweet, innocent kitty. These two were taking advantage of you!”

…CatNap does something uncharacteristically silly and does a fist pump.

[afterlifecritters]

How are Crafty and Dogday gonna explain it to Bobby?

“…”

“…”

“HE’S JUST SOOOO HOT BOBBY WE COULDN’T HELP OURSELVES!”

“Did you hear his VOICE it’s like someone wrapped Honey in VELVET!”
