Blog for the Poppy Playtime Realizin' au :) Mod: Visinox (He/Him) Additional Help: @Xylocope, @Slate021 Status: Temporary hiatus

[realizinau]

The toys within the Playtime Co. factory live in blissful ignorance. Having forgotten their humanity, they have been led to believe they are the characters they embody. To them, that is just a truth of their little perfect world.

But nothing lasts forever. Clues of the truth start to be noticed by the Playcare's guardian, Catnap, and what lies beneath the factory's colorful facade begins to be unearthed.

Welcome to the Realizin' AU! Though updates may be slow this is still an ongoing comic, so even if there's long periods of silence, I'll return eventually trust!!

Coupla Things to Keep in Mind

Keep all asks/comments appropriate, and do keep in mind a lot of the characters depicted here are children/teenagers. BE SO RESPECTFUL 🫶

There won't be any shipping. It's found family time y'all strap in

I don't take requests! But you're absolutely welcome to suggest anything, it's just not a guarantee I'll draw anything so do keep that in mind

Feel free to tag me in things! Art, writing, whatever, I WANNA SEE. If I don't answer it's likely I didn't receive a notification or I just forgor. Please do poke me in my ask box or in comments!

OC content is not canon. The comic itself is exclusively canon related, and interpretation of canon. Any OC content/fanart I reblog is found under #realizin' au extras! Go forth and give them love :3

⚠️Content Warnings⚠️

While this blog is mainly SFW this is ultimately an AU of a horror game HAHA. There will be canon typical violence/spooky imagery, it will have the proper warnings but just to make it known before we get into the thick of things✋

Themes of abuse will also be present. In no way is anything portrayed endorsed or encouraged, including the thought process of the narrator. These are a bunch of kids going through traumatic stuff, and they tend to cope in negative ways. Stay safe ily 👍

Hey guys!! Came to say comic will be off hiatus here soon yippie!! The next page is absolutely huge, so it may take a bit to complete but just know we're workin' :)

In the mean time uhhhhhh pride art Prototype huh?

[realizinau]

Going of the answer of what all the critters jobs are in the factory. Catnap is supposed to be the children’s guardian day and night, and I noticed that Catnap is the only critter with very prominent claws. Is Catnap actually expected to defend the children from threats or was the statement of him being a guardian more like how a night like exist to comfort children and not necessarily protect them.

Bonus question: what are the pronouns for all the critters? (Giving you whiplash with the questions tone change)

Very interesting question!

When he's called guardian it refers to how he watches over the children's well beings and sleep. The purpose of his claws is more up to interpretation I suppose, but me personally, I find it more symbolic than anything :)

Whiplash indeed, PRONOUNS...

Hoppy: She/her

Bubba: He/him

Picky: She/her

Crafty: She/her

Kickin: He/him

Bobby: She/her

Catnap: He/him

Dogday: He/him

Just the usual, LMAO. Though I will say there would for sure be more diversity if they were given the space to explore it. Just know in my heart Catnap is He/they, and Bobby is She/they 💖 IN A BETTER TIMELINE I SUPPOSE

Hi hi… still on anon but you’ve driven me to create an account for poppy playtime related things including my own oc. Just wanted to thank you for the inspiration 🥰 one day I’ll do it from my own account when I have art to post!

I was the one who sent the thing about the missing link - 🎁 (a reference to the smiling critter charm of one of my OCs)

WHAAT THIS IS SO SWEET?? You're so welcome 🥺🥺Good luck out there!! Shoot me an ask when it's ready I'd love to see!

[realizinau]

Hi! Just letting you know that your page 18 didn’t have a Next link to page 19 👀

GAH thank you!! Some pages I have to edit after they're posted with how they're queued, and I fumble with that quite often. Silly me. Let me know guys if anything is missing links in the future because this isn't the first time and it won't be the last LMAO

[realizinau]

me again, but a question for hoppy this time

How come you have paw pads, bunnies ad rabbits don’t. Just curious, but it’s adorable either way

Hm. I'm sure that doesn't mean anything

Hello people in my phone‼️ I come bearing information :)

First of all, we've been posting pages at 12:00PM CST every Friday, you can expect that schedule when pages come out consistently- Except for today! I forgot to put today's page in the queue. My bad. It'll be up later LMAO

AND☝️the comic is going to be on hiatus for a bit after the next page. I mostly just want to take some time to recalibrate a bit. I don't think it'll be too long, but you guys know how I can be sometimes so it's more of a prayer LOL

Anyway. That's all. Have a nice Friday :)<3

[realizinau]

Have you considered talking to the other smiling friends about this Hoppy? It'd probably do you some good to get it off your chest and just say it out loud to someone you trust.

👍

Hey y'all! Just an update :)

Page 19 comin out later today YIPPIE! I'm also thinking I may stream tomorrow? Got some refs to work on and need to lock in LMAO. We'll see if I can get all the tech bullshit figured out

Anyway. That's all, wanted to give a heads up. HAVE A GOOD DAY :) <3

[realizinau]

you know ... You are one of the kindest artists I've met!, unlike some who get snappy when asked, you are very patient!, and it makes you even more loveable than you already are!, not to mention you are a wonderful artist with very creative and amazing ideas!

OH MY GOD??? THIS IS SO SWEET THANK YOU?? Makin me smile like an idiot fr….

I like to be as helpful and patient as I can be, since I know people’s questions are genuine. If I thought they were trolling or trying to get on my nerves I’d just ignore them LMAO

It’s no skin off my nose if I have to reiterate. I want you guys to have an easy time here, so if that means I have to answer the same question multiple times, that’s fine! Since I know they wouldn’t be asking me if they knew LMAO. Plus I get things can be hard to navigate/not everyone knows how or where to look. I GET IT TRUST

So don’t feel bad about asking anything. While I ofc encourage looking around to see if you can find the answer yourselves, I’m truly happy to help :) <3

[realizinau]

Do you mind telling me what you're smiling?Critters au is or how many you have or anything i'm so confused, and I don't know what it's about, because i'm new to your account and I don't know if you have any other platforms, if you do can you tell us so I can follow you there?Cause what i've been seeing are really good arts and I really love them

Thank you! And I sure can, everything you really need is found in the pinned post but I’ll give a refresher/explanation to anyone who needs it

This blog is about one AU which is the Realizin’ AU. The basic gist is the toys in the factory believe they *are* their characters, they have no idea what led up to their existence, so they just sort of live their lives in their own little world. The plot centers around Catnap finding out the truth of his and the other toys creation, hence the title :)

The AU itself is made up of comic pages which can be found both in the Comic Master List (Which is in the pinned comment also), and on Fanon!

The reason why there is a chapter 0 for any new readers is because those pages were before the comic was serialized. It’s only there for context really

Anything else that’s on the blog that is not one of the main comic pages is not considered canon. Except like, mod answers posts that aren’t just me joking around and stuff. So everything else on the blog is just for fun

LASTLY! ☝️…

You can follow me on my main account @visinox where I reblog a lot of stuff, and @visinox-art where I post only my art! Neither are particularly intense, but please exercise caution as both those blogs aren’t meant for kiddos

That’s all! Don’t mind the essay, hopefully that answered your questions aha. Happy to have you here!
