The form/design that I originally liked the most, but is used the least in the lore. Tape is more for vibes and aesthetic than actual story, but I still like them a lot! I already liked Tape’s original design so I just added more details and abilities and I like them even more! I also gave them more of a vibe of having a sleepy and cozy personality to them.
As I mentioned in Blue’s bio, the chaos magic that Blue already had is what makes them able to transform into Tape and what gives them their abilites. It also just makes Tape possible in general.
Tape is a sentient plushie, but to be more specific, they use the plushie as a outer shell or skin. Tape has/is a dark colored creature made out of tendrils and many small arms. These appendages sometimes poke out of the seams of the plushie. This body in sensitive and uses the stuffing of the plushie body to dull the touch of the outside world. They do see through the eyes of the plushie, and are able to emote as well. The tendrils are more of the skeleton or nervous system of the plushie than a separate entity. They are sleepy since the plushie fluff feels like there’s a weighed blanket wrapped around them at all times.
Blue uses this form to help with their insomnia or to calm themself. They also become Tape when they feel like or want to be a monster, and they literally split at the seams. They can split their face open by the seam this way. Generally though Tape is just a sleepy and cuddly guy.
Tape is also a big fan of group/platonic cuddles. They are able to change their size, fabrics and stuffing to suit their cuddle buddy best. They’re ideal is to wrap around their friend and be sort of a pillow nest for them. Very whimsical and fun.
Abilities/behaviors:
Light sensitive, perfers darker spaces
Only one of their eyes are a button, but they can still see and blink with both eyes.
Their expression doesn’t change very much. Eyes and eyesbrow are the most expressive part of them.

Able to ragdoll on command.

Here’s Tape, which means the ponysonas revamping is finally over! I actually had the sketches of Blue and Tape for months before I actually uploaded them, but I hope they were worth it. I once again meant to upload this last month but other things stole my attention.
Like the other revamps here’s Tape’s original design!
Also here’s Tape without the shading how the face splitting looks
I don’t have much else to say, so I hope you have a good day ^^
