#dogday headcanons

[dodgeballstuckonthegymceiling]

It's been a couple months since I touched Poppy Playtime. Sorry about that! As an apology, here's some headcanons with Catnap, Dogday, Doey and Kissy. The title speaks for itself.

If you like my work, please consider commissioning me or leaving a tip on Ko-fi (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Celebrating the anniversary of their escape

Catnap

★ He has... mixed feelings. On one hand, he enjoys all the freedom you've given him. He doesn't regret letting you bring him with you. On the other, it's hard thinking about the things he did for the Prototype. Trying to justify the actions he felt forced to make.

★ But today isn't about feeling bad. It's about hope. Hope for a better life outside the factory. The Prototype may have set him free, but it was you who truly saved him.

★ That morning, you woke up with him in your bed. His large figure trying in vain to take up less space. His tail didn't quite fit on the mattress, instead draping across the floor.

Dogday

★ Easily the most thankful out of the four. He won't just say "thank you," he'll make you a card. Something that you can read again when he isn't by your side. When he isn't able to say so himself.

★ Most of his efforts go into pampering you. Making you feel special. Because in his eyes, you absolutely are. "How are we doing, angel?" Dogday asks. Checking in to see if there's anything he can do for you.

★ He makes it clear he wouldn't have survived this long without you. After what happened with his lower half, being torn open by catnap, he's lucky to still be alive. And so are you. Why not enjoy the peace both of you fought so hard for?

Doey

★ Surprisingly, he was quiet that day. You don't know exactly what's going on in his mind, but if you had to guess, Doey was dwelling on the toys he couldn't save. The people he couldn't save.

★ In reality, the fact a whole year has passed is what gets him. It feels like it's only been weeks, yet the calendar begs to differ. Wow. Time sure flies when you're no longer fighting for survival, huh?

★ He'd like to spend the day watching cartoons with you more than anything. With some junk food, as a treat. Whatever is playing on the TV, it doesn’t matter. Because what matters is that he’s surrounded by his friends.

Kissy

★ She insisted on helping you bake a cake. Despite only having one arm and not the best motor skills. Kissy still enjoyed herself. After finishing the batter, you let her lick the spoon. That might just be her favorite part.

★ In Kissy’s opinion, this day is far better than her birthday. On her actual birthday, she always ends up thinking too much. But today? She can actually let herself relax. It feels nice.

★ If she could speak, she would thank you for everything. Since she can’t, she does the next best thing. Kissy makes a flower crown and places it gently on your head.

Hii!! May i request a story before the Hour of Joy to where the reader asks dogday 'whos a good boy?'. The poor doge needs to know how much of a good boy he is!!😭

Sweet Affirmations

Request? [ yes ] [no] Notes|| Aww ofc! Also thank you so much!! This is my first request and such a sweet one at that! Hope you enjoyᡣ𐭩 Synopsis|| As you grow use to working around ginormous toys at your job you can't help but grow to adore one above the the rest Warnings||FLUFF-❀, SFW-♡, ASKS-✰, can be viewed as platonic|| Word Count|| 497 DogDay x Reader

Your first day working at Playtime.co was a hay-dream. Being surround by these ginormous toys that towered way above you was definitely something you had to get use to in the coming days but something that was definitely interesting. But one of them stood out to you,

DogDay

DogDay was always so sweet and caring and the very first of the smiling critters you met! He was always asking you how you were doing and was constantly by your side as soon as you checked onto work. DogDay was by far the most clingy to you, always asking your co workers when you were gonna come back and why don't you just stay here much to the annoyance to your co workers and always attached to your hip as soon as you checked in.

One day it was normal just like any other as you watched the smiling critters play and interact with the kids just making sure no accidents happened. You were watching DogDay play tag with his group of kids as you practiced bracelet making with your group. A kid in his group accidentally ran into your bowl of beads sending them scattering every whichway.

"Oh no, we're so sorry angel! I didn't realize how close our groups were,"

DogDay dropped down and fretted and his ears drooped as he began helping you pick up the scattered beads. You chuckled softly at him and began picking up the beads yourself.

"It's okay Dogday, Really. I should have sat my group so close to yours"

You smiled at him as you both gathered the last of the beads beck into the bowl.

As DogDay looked back up from picking up the beads he realized how close you guys actually were. DogDay was about to get up and apologies again when you got up first and leaned over him. For the first time you were now standing over him and he was looking up at you. Suddenly he felt your hands on his cheeks as your thumbs circling his cheeks making him blush as his eyes widen.

"Whos a goodboy?"

You coo as you giggle at him. His pupils dilate as his blush increases on his cheeks that he thankful that fur covers his cheeks. He feels his tail thumping hard against the faux grass as his heart beat speeds up

"Me?"

You grin down at him as you begin softly scratching at his chin and furry cheeks and say

"You're such a good boy DogDay~"

His tail thumps even harder as it happily waves as a sheepish grin spreads on his face. A childs voice suddenly calls out as kids giggle

"Dogday has a crush on Ms/Mx. (lastname)!!"

[monoumysteries]

Hiii! Could you maybe do some caregiver Dogday x little reader headcanons? 🥺

Yes, yes! Of course I can!! >:3

Caregiver DogDay Headcanons!

˖᯽ ݁˖ Dogday first of all, is a very attentive caregiver, I believe he gives off big brother energy to the absolute max, he teases you sometimes, but its never in a mean or demeaning way. He's like the embodiment of sunshine and rainbows and will not stand to see you sad or upset in any way! if your sad, then he's sad, and we cant have that! Given your environment he wants to make sure everyone has pleasant memories to look back on!

˖᯽ ݁˖ DogDay is very big on health, and following the playcare schedules. While he's not exactly the Bubba Bubbaphant of the group he knows a thing or two about eating well and being active! So, With gentle and room brightening enthusiasm he will usher you out of bed with a cheerful: "Rise and shine Pup!" and guide you through the groggy waves of sleep while getting your morning routine together. Wanting the best for you he will often go to Pickypiggy to help whip you up a nice meal to start off your day. Once you're all settled Dogday wastes no time getting you outside into playcare. Outside playtim is very important to him and he wants you to associate him with both fun and safety.

˖᯽ ݁˖ When its comes to conjuring up activities, Dogday is pretty fit for the job! Given he's considered the group leader and all, problem solving and finding something everyone can enjoy is important. Feeling more rough and active? Well you and the gang can climb the playset! Wanting to do something more low energy? Well you two and swing on the playground swings! Sometimes during a particularly fussy day, he will engage you in much more tiring activities like tag so those icky bad feelings can come out easier! it'll also make it easier to put you down to sleep.

˖᯽ ݁˖ DogDay doesn't consider him the best at comforting littles, but that couldn't be farther from the truth, atleast not when he's with you! He will never make you feel ashamed for simple mistakes or problems, nor will he let anyone else make you feel that way either. With him its okay to make mistakes and he makes sure to show you that. Potty accident? "Awh its okay Buddy! We've all been in your shoes before you know..? no need for fuss. We can try again once your all cleaned up. Just.. bark next time okay?"

Maybe you fell over while playing? "Oh shoot! You alright there Pup? you hit your knee real hard huh? Ah, Now now, no need for tears bud! Why don't we get you on of those colored bandaids you like hm?"

Or perhaps the big emotions are just really hard one day. "You don't seem to be all sunny today huh pup? well that's alright! if you'd like we can sit quietly.. waiting for the clouds to part. Whenever you feel like shining again, I'll be right here, okay?"

᯽ ݁˖ I believe dogday can handle littles from ages 3-8 the best! After all he was made for a younger demographic, and though he can certainly adjust I think he just gets a certain joy out of shaping young minds into something greater, happier. its also much easier to come up with nicknames! he's very endearing when it comes to finding something cute or animal related to call you. So he will go with things like: Little Howler, Bubs, Pup, Squirt, Buddy, Sunshnie, Sunflower and more.

Hopefully this was up your alley! I had a lot of fun writing this in particular. This may be a bit of a weak post because this is actually the 2nd version of this post! my first draft got lost, so I may have gotten carried away this round! ૮(˶ㅠ︿ㅠ)ა

[hiwelcometothemonstersancturary]

Yo, could you give us some of your DogDay headcanons?

Of course! Here's my general headcanons for him:

He's the oldest of the Smiling Critters, being 24 at the time of the game.

The only reason he didn't just let himself die during the time at Playtime Co. was because he still had faith that Catnap could change, and that Poppy's angel would come to rescue them. His faith is the only thing that kept him going.

He would often stand up for Theodore when they were both humans, and for Catnap when the other Smiling Critters or employers would say he was acting in a creepy way.

He has so much empathy oh my God. He doesn't see good in everyone, but he understands everyone. He hates being mean to others because of this: He always knows why someone is being mean.

I think that despite always looking confident as a leader, Dogday is desperate for someone to tell him things will be okay. He's always saying that to others, but he knows no one will ever comfort him back.

He didn't want to be the leader of the Smiling Critters, but that's what Playtime Co. assigned him to be, and that's what he needed to be in order to make sure everyone would be okay. He knows why he has this role and doesn't question it, but the pressure sometimes is too much, and it feels like he can never just stop being "the leader". It has come to a point where he legit doesn't know what he wants, but always knows what the group needs. Whatever the group in question may be.

Actually loves pulling pranks on others, but stopped in order to give a good example to the kids and Smiling Critters alike.

SWEET TOOTH. 100% LOVES SWEET THINGS, especially chocolate!!!!

Has undiagnosed depression, but dealt with it alone because the Smiling Critters needed him.

Loves romances and drama, but only in fiction, because if it is real life then it means the drama WILL get to him and he really really needs 3 decades of resting, minimum.

Knows how to sing, and does so very well, but no one except Crafty and Catnap knows about it. Crafty by accident, Catnap because Dogday one time sung him a lullaby so he could sleep without fear of nightmares.

Despite his leader persona this guy is Dumb because half his energy is being spent on dealing with Undiagnosed Depression and the other half in Trying Not To Give Up.

Doesn't mind which pronouns are used for him as long as it's not it/its. Also pansexual and demiromantic.

Can and WILL stand up if he thinks something is not fair.

Loves playing outside and sewing.

Overprotective over those he cares about, because in his mind he's the one taking care of everyone. If someone is down, it's his personal responsibility to take care of them.

Hi there! Can I request (platonic) Doey + Bigger Body plush!reader where the reader’s condition has made them unable to do stuff they used to (like play with the others in Safe Haven, help scavenge, etc)? I’m a huge work of your fanfics!

Kind of like Bobby BearHug? She was wired wrong, from what I can remember. Poor thing didn't have a chance.

If you like my work, please consider commissioning me or leaving a tip on Ko-fi (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Doey & bigger body Reader

★ You only survived because of Doey. He helped you when CatNap first began picking off the smiling critters. You lived in the orphanage with them before everything happened. It was survival of the fittest -and you? There's no way in hell you could’ve challenged CatNap.

★ Truth be told, you do miss him. Theo was a good friend of yours. Back when he still remembered that name. But so was DogDay, and... well...

★ No one ever found the courage to tell you what became of them. But you didn't need to be told. You figured it out on your own. The silence that fills the room says enough.

★ Chronic pain is a reality you've been forced to accept. Cringing the sharp, unpredictable sensations that tear through your body. Sometimes you hear an odd *cl-click* from somewhere inside yourself. Like something was put in wrong.

★ Some days are better than others. In the morning you might wake up feeling ready to finish every chore in Safe Haven. Other days, just picking yourself up off the floor is a losing battle.

★ Fortunately for you, there are friends who can help! Doey knows all the shortcuts. And he's memorized which dilapidated paths will support your larger figure. Perfect for when you need some space. Or feel like the walls are closing in on you.

★ Nowadays Safe Haven can be pretty crowded. For some reason, the smaller ones look up to you. Like you're something to be admired. They call you things like "tough" and "brave," though you aren't so sure about that.

★ Kissy always puts a hand on your shoulder when she sees you struggling. Two gentle taps, her way of asking a question. You tap back once. Your version of "I'm okay." It's a strange little language that only the people who know her speak.

★ You love him, you really do. But Doey has a habit of treating you like a baby. At first it was understandable. He's always made sure everyone around him was taken care of. That's just his nature.

★ Not to mention how beat-up you were the day you came to Safe Haven. He watched you almost die before. He's never letting that happen again.

★ If you're working on something important, Doey hovers over you. Double-checking everything you do. Like he's expecting you to make a mistake. It's subtle, and you get the feeling Doey doesn't realize he's doing it, but you wish he trusted you a little more.

[dodgeballstuckonthegymceiling]

hello!!

I was hoping I could request some poppy playtime hurt/comfort w/ the toys from safe haven? (Dogday survived Au would be nice!)

Like... the toys realize that The Angel isn't as durable as them and can be easily wounded (and is very wounded and worn out from previous chapters lolol)

Please and Thank youuuuu!

-🍰

In my head Doey, Dogday, and all the other toys in safe haven are still alive. Safe and sound. (If not heavily traumatized.) Maybe I'll write about that little AU someday. But finishing stuff like this is all I'm worried about right now.

Doey, Dogday, and Kissy when the Player rests in Safe Haven

★ You've been injured before. Stuck between several creatures you never wanted to meet. But believe it or not, you've never really been a fighter. The number of times you've gotten chased down is proof of this.

★ Survival isn't always about strength. It's about luck, and being too stubborn to die, not bravery. You're good at running away -really, that's your one saving grace. Along with freezing instead of flight when applicable. Because sometimes the safest choice is to just stay put.

★ When you entered the Safe Haven, you finally had enough room to breathe. Doey noticed how your hands were shaking before you passed through the threshold. "Please. You really should rest." He said with an even tone.

★ It was a tempting offer. Unfortunately for him, you weren't about to accept help lying down. Instead of relaxing, taking a nap, or trying to clean up some of your wounds, you fix your posture. And blurted out "I'm fine." Too quickly for him to believe you.

★ Dogday doesn't trust your judgement. He's only been with you for a couple hours. But it's enough time for him to tell you're lying. The question is, what's he going to do about it?

★ He asks you to help bandage his wrists. Guiding you to sit next to with him. Forcing you to let your guard down. "Angle... Could you help me with something?" Dogday asked. Husky voice laced with exhaustion.

★ Dogday doesn't actually need the help, though his small fib did get you to stop moving and sit down. Settling enough for him to get a better look at you. Analyzing the cuts and scraps that litter across your body.

★ The general consensus is that the Player needs to rest. Everybody can agree on that. A smaller Kissy even handed you something to eat, and you took it with a smile. But as soon as she left, you handed the bit of meat to Dogday. Not wanting to touch... That.

★ There isn't any way to sugarcoat it. Cannibalism became normal for them all. Without any food entering the factory, picking off each other became the only option.

★ Doey, DogDay, and Kissy are all used to it. Years of living like that does something to a person. But you've only been here for a couple days. It couldn't possibly sit right with you.

★ There's no question that you're starving. If DogDay can manage to find anything, he'll poke around for a snack. As well as pointing Doey in the direction of where some stale food might be. There has to be something left in Playcare. Plus, thanks to you, it's safer to wander around down there.

★ The smaller ones quietly argue about who's turn it is to keep watch over you. Hearing hushed voices when you're trying/pretending to be sleep.

"Do we need the Medic?"

"Shush! Let them sleep."

"They won't go back to bed if you wake them."

"Wait... Where'd Doey go?"

"He should read us a book."

★ It's actually pretty cute. The feeling of being watched used to scare you. But here? It's more than welcome. Comforting. Because that means you have someone to watch your back.

★ You’re not a threat until someone makes you one. Fear forcing your hand. But now, you're finally begun to crash. And you crash hard. All the adrenaline leaving your system.

★ That's when you found out fear was the only thing keeping you awake. Once the danger isn't right behind you, closing in, everything hits at once.

★ Your knees buckle when you try to take a step. Probably from all of the running and jumping. Your vision blurs, like the world is fading out around you. Kissy gives you a look. "What's going on over here?" Doey asks, walking past your shared tent.

★ Maybe it's best to stay in bed for a while. Poppy might've pushed you a bit too far. Rest now. You're too drained to keep on running. 

[dodgeballstuckonthegymceiling]

I've been thinking, Dogday probably has a habit of keeping you in his line of sight.

Like a child carrying a stuffed animal from room to room.

After everything he's been through, it only feels natural to stay where he can see you. Even outside the factory. He prefers knowing where you are.

If you wouldn't mind, of course. You deserve your privacy.

Still, it's something that helps him stay calm.

[dodgeballstuckonthegymceiling]

i'm not sure if you'd feel comfortable doing this so its fine if you reject!! ^^

Can you do an afab! player who's on their period and has to stay in the safe haven due to their rlly bad cramps + the other toys could smell them bleeding

LIKE how would the other toys react? (Doey, Kissy, Poppy, Dogday because i imagine hes alive in this)

With my luck, that'd probably happen to me. Shoutout to everyone who's been caught off guard by a period. It's a struggle...

If you like my work, please consider commissioning me or leaving a tip on Ko-fi!

When the (AFAB) Player starts their period

★ You were walking down the concrete path. Guided by Doey. Headed towards Safe Haven. At the time, you were solely focused on survival. Trying to not become some feral toys next meal. When a wave of sudden, sharp, pain struck you in the gut. Different from the others you've felt thus far.

★ "Shit" was all you could say. Muttered under your breath, so that nobody might hear. Oh no... Not now. Not only are you fucked, but there might be blood on your one (1) pair of pants.

★ People inside the factory don't go through what you're experiencing. Many parts of the toy's anatomy were fiddled with. You knew that. But some functions were completely removed -or mutilated. Like the need for sharp, piercing teeth. And general lack of reproductive organs. It's a completely normal biological process, just one they don't experience.

★ Doey noticed almost immediately. Because of course he does. But worry no! You're in good hands! Back in Playcare, Mathew and Keven got used to living with girls. Thankfully they know what to do.

★ You’re embarrassed. Doey brushes it off. And there's something sweet about the way he knows nothing about you. Yet still tries to help out. "Oh!" He snaps his fingers, like he’s just solved a riddle. "Now I get it! Girls get… um… monthly… things." You cringe at his words "Why didn't you say something?"

★ Second to spot something amiss was Kissy. Who watched you wince while walking to her. She tilted her head. Reaching out to paw at your sleeve. Wordlessly asking if you were alright.

★ Trying to find anything resembling a heating pad was rather difficult. You could get a hold of an empty water bottle. And you could fill up with hot water, courtesy of Safe Haven's single working microwave. Putting together a makeshift heating pack.

★ All the Safe Haven has to offer is baby tylenol and extra changes of clothes. Along with the good painkillers (the kind you need a prescription for.) Which might be overkill. But who cares?

★ You can't leave. Not right now! Not with the scent of blood clinging to you. That's how the less sane ones know it's time to eat. Doey just won't let you. Please. It's for your own safety.

★ Curled up on the floor, with a threadbare blanket to cushion the ground. You felt equal parts embarrassed and pathetic. Several smiling critters walked by. Looking you over. Deciding you'd make a good pillow.

★ Folks like DogDay and Poppy, they can tell something is amiss. But know better than to ask you. Poppy assumed you broke something. DogDay, he thought you had just gotten stitches. Why else would you be acting like this?
