so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.
You are never too talkative for someone who likes to hear you, you are never too annoying for someone who find your little actions cute, you are never too depressed for someone who knows what you went through, You are never too late for someone who awaits to see you all day, you are never too far for someone who loves you...
Today I got the last puzzle pieces to finish the build blog for this project. Give it a read! As it includes a little written word as well~

Some teasers for a set of Poppy Playtime acrylic keychains! They are all fullbody art pieces.
I will still be adding Huggy and Doey, then ill post the full art of the whole set!~
The science behind THC + alcohol as a combination is literally soo interesting because it basically causes the crimson red duckling in your body to confront the serpent in the bronze vessel of your heart. Basically you feel good because the duckling is able to eat the harmonious seeds stored within the vessel and transfer these positive energies into your body. You can have bad highs when this happens if the duckling awakens the serpent and it bites the duckling. The interesting part is when you ingest alcohol after THC because it floods the vessel and causes the serpent to fall into a deep sleep. The duckling never gets attacked by the serpent when this happens because it is unconscious and the duckling is actually able to get fat from the harmonious seed, which causes an enjoyable sensation.
So, what’s the deal with Lily, Mommy and Delight? Is there anything new or interesting about these three?
Thank you for the ask!! Here's a little ramble about the girls hehe, I'm still writing up some of the details but a lot of little changes have been made across the board.
Yapping under the cut <3
I realize I should preface with some terms/background info, because my AU (Inheritance in Blood) is ridiculously complicated.
Vessels are the toys/bigger bodies/any non-human entity that has a human inside of it in one way or another. Vessels like the prototype, poppy, and Oliver are known as miracles and are effectively immortal/do not need to eat, etc. and usually do not decay or have any psychological side effects from their death. Miracles can only be made by the miracle maker.
Hubris Vessels are the standard vessels, and will naturally decay overtime, need upkeep, can die and usually come with a handful of psychological side effects. They can be made by anyone, but require a certain skill in medical science to successfully insert the body into the vessel.
Playtime Co. founded by Elliot Ludwig, is the daughter company of Magnus. Magnus is an old textiles company and the front of a small religious organization. Magnus has been trying to find the Miracle Maker, a gifted messiah who can perform miracles. Elliot Ludwig is that Miracle Maker and the one who is capable of making the Miracle Vessels.
The Hour of Joy has been replaced. When Elliot Ludwig died and Leith Pierre took over, Playtime Co. and Magnus were transformed into a cycle of death to learn, innovate, and create more vessels in an attempt to harness the miracles without their miracle maker. The company closed their doors to the public and fired any employee who was not "in" on the knowledge of their actions, effectively creating a very small and very guilty team of workers in a closed compound factory.
When Harley Sawyer died at the hands of Dr. White and the Research team, this awoke something known as The Prototype. The prototype, the vessel of the late Elliot Ludwig, became so enraged with what had become of his life's work, that he locked the factory down and trapped everyone inside. Harley Sawyer's death was just the final straw that caused him to awaken.
To this day, the factory still works. There's still shipments going out and deliveries going in, and humans who still survive... all under the watchful and angry eye of the Prototype. Toys, Humans.. anything in between are all subject to his imprisonment until such a day that either they all suffer a death worth his rage, or he discovers the answer to the final miracle: the miracle of life.
If you wouldn't listen to him while he was your savior, perhaps you'll listen to him while he's your jailer.

Miss Delight is one of the earliest non human entities to work at playtime co. She was designed in tandem by Elliot Ludwig and Harley Sawyer (Who, at the time, was apart of the Young Minds Genius Program) for the newly refurbished orphanage and playcare at Playtime Co. and is a robotic assistant.
Her main goal has always been to comfort and connect with the children.
In her original form (1970s) she was a stationary machine that was fixed at the front of a classroom and taught various subjects and gave answers questions, but Harley Sawyer had drafted several concepts for a free-roam variant which would later be completed by the Innovation team when they turned her into a Vessel in the 90s.
Her vessel is filled by a woman named Guinevere Waller who was one of the many attendants and caretakers at the orphanage. When she became aware of the more sinister side of Playtime Co after the death of Elliot Ludwig, she became wary and tried to leave. Naturally, that wasn't allowed.
There's only one of her in this version of the story, and she is a fiercely loyal and vicious vessel who has become very violent and vindictive over time. She follows the Prototype in his reign of terror over the compound. She will attack any human she sees, with the exception of children.

Mommy Longlegs is the innovation team's solution to a very big problem that has arisen with the development of their vessels: adults are extremely hard to "translate" into vessels, usually due to their very quick deterioration and mental state.
Children, especially smart children, are an ideal candidate for "eternal life." Elliot Ludwig was such a fierce protector and advocate for children, so perhaps they were the key to discovering the true nature of the miracles? That's their line of thought anyways.
Designed by Dr. White in tandem with Dr. Grace Forelle, Mommy Longlegs is indeed a vessel inhabited by an adult, one of the only adult vessels that is still in functioning order. Mommy is inhabited by Claire Harper, an attendant and caretaker from Playtime Co who was meant to be let go after Leith Pierre took over, but was insistent that she wished to remain working there.
Mommy Longlegs is designed to appear as the leader of a band. She employs the Bunny Parade, headed by Bonzo, in a number of intelligence-based games (usually musically related in some way) to provide tests to children. Children who pass a certain threshold are called Maestros and are selected to join Playcare for further testing, and those who do not pass that threshold simply are sent away to a different orphanage to be adopted out. (This helps to assist Playtime Co. in appearing as a legitimate orphanage system, as children still leave to be adopted.)
While Claire may not have been as... supportive of the "true" nature of Playtime Co, Dr. White has made it very clear that her choice is a permanent one. Over time, Mommy Longlegs has mentally deteriorated and only that strange, guilty loyalty remains. She does this because she must. She usually acts as an information gathering source for the Humans of Playtime Co. after the hour of joy, and still plays with and provides games to many of the toys.

Lily Lovebraids is a vessel for Dr. Grace Forelle, a behavior psychologist who lost her license due to medical malpractice and was brought onto the team by Dr. White. She is desperate for work after falling from grace, and therefore willing to do things she wouldn't usually do-- such as creating the persona "Miss Gracie" to work alongside the newly free-roaming Miss Delight made by the Innovation team to manipulate children before they became subject to vessel research.
When The Prototype first awoke, Grace Forelle was one of the humans most victim to his ire. Everything that she did, He forced the Innovation Team to create a vessel for her known as Lily Lovebraids, and had her turned into a vessel. Since then, he has broken and nearly killed her dozens of times, only to have her rebuilt.
She's lost her mind, becoming what we know today. Whether this is an effect of the Prototype's constant scrutiny or her own mind trying to protect itself... she's now what we know today.
Except, Elliot Ludwig has never been the type of person to enjoy suffering, and perhaps now... after the dust has settled, he pities what has become of her-- and himself. Their dynamic has taken a strange turn, and now Lily Lovebraids is the unlikely ally of the Prototype, both as someone he can talk to, and an assistant to his research in the Miracle of Life.
Maybe, just maybe, people can still be capable of change.
I don't think I ever was as emotionally attached to any character as to Roger
(talking about my experience ↓↓)
He made me feel better about myself when I really needed it. For a long time I was in an unhealthy relationship that really ruined my perception. I didn't know how bad it was as I didn't know how boundaries work and how to tell when I don't feel comfortable. It was often that that person would say something that would hurt me, make me feel bad about being me and I would just say to myself Im overreacting which would lead me to the self destruct behavior.
I couldn't tell what was okay with me and what was not (It's okay now, Im healing!!! I have very supportive friends and also, my therapist helps me understand feelings and boundaries)
It might be silly but I saw myself in Roger :'] Him having a similiar experience and also his personality being similiar to mine??? that's just......... woah.......
I literally can't explain it but he makes me so happy
i am of the sincere belief that if ur on ur computer a lot you should visually customize it to high hell and back not just for funsies but also because it has literally made me less depressed before. its kind of like how rearranging your bedroom is good for your brain, yknow. i do stuff like this every few months
LIVE WALLPAPER: wallpaper engine. only thing on here that costs any money (its like 5 bucks on steam). im sure theres free alternatives but this one has a lot of presets and stuff so its less hassle and its what i use. might be a bad idea for lower end pcs tho
CUSTOM TASKBAR: retrobar on github (lots of different options)
CUSTOM CURSOR: theres a lot of places to find these, but rw-designer open cursor library is a good place to start
DISCORD: betterdiscord, im using the clearvision v7 theme with a custom background
EXTENSIONS (these are for firefox, might or might not exist on other browsers):
tabliss for the new tab theme
stylus for tumblr -> specifically the 'tumblr - custom dashboard pallette' theme for colors + bg, and this for the pre-twitterifcation layout
enhancer for youtube for custom youtube colors
the browser theme is just one i found on the firefox theme 'store'
