Too busy playing Minecraft to remember it was time for me to post some art, but ye here’s a silly incorrect quote :) I need to sit down and draw out my Scraps designs sometime lol
Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.
Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!
This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!
{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, “Black Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they won’t make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}
Its nice to see more Doey content lately now. I have planned Poppy and two Catnap audios to do next! I'm gonna push back the Giblet & Doctor one a bit, and do three gift ideas.
I have a custom fitted life jacket my mom got me. Most valuable thing I own I keep it in my car at all times. If life jackets are uncomfortable for you, you can bring your own and keep it nice. They are supposed to be comfortable and a good is a one time investment that WILL save your life.
Almost everyone survived au is a massive rewrite of Poppy Playtime where, well, almost everyone survives the main game events... However, there's more to it! :D
In my posts, I usually show the toys having a peaceful life after their escape, but I've never told the full story of how that happened or where they all went.
Warning: there are OCs
Another warning: my dumbass may forget to mention some information, so expect the post to be updated multiple times :P you are free to hit the ask box if you have any questions
Continuation under the cut ↓
Some quick facts about the factory and current situation there before we start:
• most of the facility is located on the surface level (Production, Game Station, Playcare), only the laboratories and all other illegal stuff is below the surface :)
• Playcare is quite far away from the factory building (because it'd be illegal to have an orphanage in such close proximity to a functioning factory). You can get there by Elliot Express from the Game Station
• Playcare itself is a bit different too. It now includes an on-site hospital that leads to the underground labs. Orphans are taken for checkups never to be seen again...
• pretty much everything is overgrown, abandoned and vandalized. Electricity is barely working. There's almost no food left for the toys and the entire place is filled with hopelessness and despair. Many toys died in the Hour of Joy or right after it. Those who have survived till this day are left to fend for themselves
• good GOD there's NO grabpack system!! The doors are opened with keycards or regular keys. Grabpacks in this au were only ever meant for workers who did heavy manual job (like at a warehouse)
Main characters
Yep, there's more than one. First of all, there's no employee player. Sorry. The person who receives the mysterious invitation to the factory long after it closed down is Susan Ayers, mom of one of Doey's human identities
An angry mom determined to save her child makes for a pretty good main character. She will fight tooth and nail to get to Doey. She has, in fact, been doing that for a decade. She never gave up trying to reunite with her son after that fatal day.
You can read more info about Susan here.
Then we have my OCs, who aren't that relevant to the plot, but are necessary to get everyone out of the factory safe and sound.
A walking corpse and an alien. Well, Playtime has seen worse, to be honest.
Outsiders from another world, our world. Visions of other worlds seep through the fabric of reality, but they aren't always clear. What is seen in the game isn't necessarily what really happened in that world. That's why Lu and Mara can't just speedrun their mission. They proceed with caution (mostly...)
If a toy that was supposed to die, doesn't die, it's because of them. They are here to help anyone who is willing to accept this help. Not everyone can be saved, of course. Unfortunately...
More about my autistic little alien
Mara, or the Guardian, has healing powers and can control electricity, including that in muscles and brain (I wonder whose problem that will become).
She mostly sticks to the shadows, watching everything till her interference is needed. She has a human disguise, but that's not her true form either. That is not for the human eye. We're keeping it low profile here, you know.
You can see more of Mara and Lu in their tags: #hlopok oc: prince lulu, #hlopok oc: guardian
Playtime Co.'s experiments
You probably have noticed how my designs are very different from the canon ones. Just for this post we interviewed a special guest who, very happily and with no fighting involved whatsoever, agreed to enlighten us.
Peepaw Leith is the one who sent the letter. He also plays the role of the employee who causes trouble and swings around on a grabpack (yes, he has one), even tho he's lowkey offed after ch1 till ch4-
Well that's about it. For now. I'm cringe but I'm free
