" ...G-Greetings, I'm FortuneFoxy! Want to know what is your lucky charm?"
"Great! This might sound a bit too crazy, but here I go!.."
- FortuneFoxy
Well, never knew I can make my first and ever smiling critter oc since it's easy for me to draw.. but here it is! He'll be important to my AU btw..
INFO:
( Contains spoilers
to Chapter 3 btw! )
↓↓↓↓
Tumblr media
- FortuneFoxy's debut started on before 10 days til The Hour of Joy. Supposedly a replacement for CatNap( though Playtime CO will had to make him mentioned that CatNap will be just sleeping at the stars.. )
The episode started taking place to a afternoon walk on Sunnyside TownRoad, where Dogday, CraftyCorn and KickinChicken were just adventuring off the town til they come across a lonely fox around the streets.. looking at something, his Star Charm.
And yet the three decided to help the fox! So in order to find his StarCharm, they had to find and stop Wreckin' Wolf for not letting him selling the Star Charm( my second oc that I will make later, and he is FortuneFoxy's enemy on his first debut. )
Then the critter group began to chase down Wreckin' Wolf, but FortuneFoxy predicts in his own mind that his enemy will be accidentally bumped onto the wolf's parents, angry, til the two scolded him and yaay!! The wolf is defeated, now FortuneFoxy got his own Star Charm back!! And then FortuneFoxy was told by Dogday thinking that he'll join the Smiling Critters group... And so, FortuneFoxy went excited and agreed to join!
Anddd the debut episode comes to an end.
But did you know who suggested this? Andrew, aka my player oc.. He was told by a certain designer that they thought about him making an new character.. even though Andrew doesn't know why.. and just go through it anyway. Let's just say Andrew is a very creative man..
But he won't know when the real FortuneFox is gonna be real soon..
The real FortuneFox coming soon, STAY TUNED FOR MORE..

*Angel looks back at him.*
"Some rice from a local hibachi restaurant, want some?"
*Angel opens the bag they brought, taking a box out, checking it and offering it to him, a pack of plastic silverware on top.*
[ His tail starts to wag as his smile grows with energetic nods, accepting the box with open palms. ]
"Thank you, love!" [ He beams, before stuffing his whole mouth with food. Bits of rice stick to the sides of his snout. ]

I've never posted fic to Tumblr before and i am very scared but I figure the people who followed me for Astrid hot takes might enjoy some more Astrid hot takes. if ur a fan of ambitious starry-eyed children developing horrifying magical weapons, astrid and bren’s insane academic rivalry, or women who are attack dogs that want to bite their masters, this might be the fic for you!
Sitting next to Ikithon at the dinner table, Astrid is unshakeably conscious of two things. One, that the windows are not real. And two: neither is she. Sixteen years ago, Bren designed a spell. Sixteen years ago, Astrid finished it, alone. (Or: Astrid can never be forgiven for the crime of not being Bren Aldric Ermendrud—but Caleb Widogast can.)
(bonus: critter genfic bingo!)

How does the separation work in the biomech AU? Robots is one thing, half-organic creatures is an entirely different ballpark, seems like it'd be messy
Tumblr media
Oh boy this part is always the loveliest in this au
TW for descriptive body horror
Attempts have been made numerous times in the past to cull Sun’s development, seeing how this two-for-one special was intended to be… one-for-one.
Sun is the result of a mistake made during the development of the synthesis process that would’ve let Moon change shape. Well partially, anyway. There’s another reason, but we won’t get into that.
All you need to know is that there was a whole budget sink revolving around teasing and prodding at Sun enough that he’d eventually be able to be removed from Moon and scrapped entirely (energy costs and all that, as well as their team being equipped to wrangle One personality and not a second one that completely deviates from Moon’s intentionally zen and calm one), but the resilient bugger was lucky to be so deeply ingrained into Moon’s physique as well as their programming that removing him would kill them both.
Took many, many attempts to separate them both anyway before the dev team got it through their thick skulls, unfortunately.
Whole buncha brain dumping later (as well as being bitched out by corporate for yet Another setback that cost them cold hard cash) and neither twin recalls all this, but the extraction protocol still remains.
The synthesizing process that was meant to pull them apart was supposed to be locked away behind failsafes implanted in their genes, buuut the DA is even to this day chock full of surprises. Sometimes during extremely stressful conditions it reintroduces itself and tries to do what it was meant to do of its own accord.
…leaving these two flailing to contain themselves as their body is hellbent on killing itself slowly and painfully in the scariest way possible: tearing the inseparable and highly codependent twins apart.
It’s agonizing, their vocals are wrenched apart so they can’t make noise much different from an impression of a clicker from TLOU, they’re highly overstimulated from the pain and the panic that comes with it, and they’re essentially suffering biomechanical cancer that spontaneously generates matter haphazardly cobbled together as they seperate further in a bid to give them both chassis’s to inhabit afterward. So that’s yikes!!!
If they can pull themselves together (hAH-) long enough for synthesis to subside their shared body will put itself back together again but rest assured they are Out for at least a few days after. Shit’s exhausting and traumatic, let them have this,,
The only time poor Monty ever say this was during the same fit that led to Clipsy making it’s grand(??) debut, thankfully since it’s emergence it’s the last time too though!!

warden!hawke and regular!hawke meet in a worlds-collide scenario and there's probably some conversations about like family members who died or survived, the weight of responsibility, titles, romance, Anders, but most importantly
regular!hawke: so then we met a woman who was a dragon and let me tell you i want to be a dragon can you imagine how much that would own?
warden!hawke: you mean like this? *turns into a dragon*
regular!hawke: :0

Thinking about a human collector who decides he wants a new pet to add to his collection...
The air of the animal shelter is polluted by whimpers, howls, and growling as he parades past all sorts of rareties locked up in their cages – all for him to pick and choose from. 
The warden is telling him about the new swan hybrid they wrangled a week ago, wings like an angel with the grace of royalty, a true prize jewel of any collection. 
He thinks it sounds promising before strolling past you.
Placed in one of the smaller cages on the floor, seemingly tucked away so as not to catch anyone’s attention. 
You’re a sorry sight to behold – all starved and shaking – the collar around your throat too heavy for you to lift your head, having to look up at him through your lashes as he crouches down in front of you.
Your eyes are wide like two moons as he sticks a finger in through the bars.
It’s thick like a carrot, and for a moment, you seem like you’re about to scurry away into the very back of your cage – but instead, you inch closer, sniffing at the digit before suddenly snapping at him.
He backs away with a hiss, drawing the warden's attention – who rushes back and knocks his cain against the cage with a growl in his throat, “Stupid critter.” 
You’ve narrowed your eyes, nose wrinkled in anger – something akin to a snarl forming your lips. It’s a funny expression to see on such a normally docile breed.
“I’m really sorry, sir. Bunnies aren't usually aggressive, but we’ve had issues disciplining this one for weeks.” The warden rushes out the apologetic excuse, expecting to be sued.
But the collector only chuckles – a deep sound that makes your soft fur stiffen. “That’s fine.” 
He pulls a handkerchief from his back pocket, all movements calm and collected as he wipes the spill of blood trickling from the small bite mark you’d left on his finger.
“It’s only a nibble, after all.” 
You spit the bitter taste left in your tongue out on his shoes with another sneer.
If it angers him, it still doesn’t show through the lofty smile he wears. His leer is just as poised and heavy as he looks down at you.
“Does she talk?”
The warden had turned to lead him towards the more desirable and tamed section but halted at the question.
He had a puzzled look on his face before he answered, almost in a question himself, “We don’t know.”
The collector scoffed out another small laugh, then pulled out his phone. “How much?”
The warden seemed appalled then. “Sir, we have exotic pets more up to your standard in the back. Are you sure-”
“I want this one.”
The warden looked snuffed at his firm tone. But straightened himself out after a moment. All business as usual. “We can’t guarantee she’ll behave. It could be dangerous-”
But he’s cut off yet again, this time with another rumbling chuckle.
“That won’t be an issue.”
And those dark eyes with that deeply dominating look within them were the last thing you remember seeing before becoming a sleepy heap on the floor of your cage – drooling with a blank stare as you’re carried to the trunk and driven off with.
The tranquilizer makes you fall asleep, waking to heat swallowing you as you’re lowered into a bathtub.
“Let’s get you groomed first.” The same man murmurs in a coo. Petting your head with a heavy hand when seeing your weary eyes try blinking off the sleep – but still left too drowsy to thrash.
Instead, you can just moan as he washes you with a tender smile on his face – his big hands coarse against your creamy skin, rubbing your plush limbs with soap and oil.
“My pets have been an awful handful lately…”
He’s talking about something, but you only catch bits and pieces of the words being said. Something about ruts and scratched furniture – someone’s been pissing in the sofa, and all the pillows are ruined.
He messages the lops of your ears, then rinses them gently.
“But it’s my fault. I’ve been neglectful.”
He cups your tits next, lathering them with the warm milky water, circling your nipples with the gritty pads of his thumbs until they perk.  
Then he delves under the water to find your puffy cunt, letting the hot water rush the sensitivity, making it swell with heat as he splits the lips and pets your clit. 
You buck your hips, and he awes with a light chuckle, crooning down at you. “It's okay, little bunny.”
His carrot-sized finger teases your hole before sinking inside you, filling you in slow and tentative pumps. Sitting next to the tub, just as composed as before, while your cunt squeezes his knuckles.
He hums, watching your body fight the tranquilizer as you seize up and ripple with release.
He retracts his hand, patting them both on the fluffy towel placed next to him. A content smile on his face. “You’re gonna do perfect.”
After he’s finished drying you, he fixes a collar around your throat and carries you out to the others.
“Gather ‘round, pets.” He announces, placing you down on the soft carpeted floors beneath.
Your limbs are still heavy, too weak to stand just yet. But that all changes with the adrenaline kick.
“Come say hi to your new rut-puppet.”
The stench in the air coats your skin with sweat.
“She’s a fragile thing, though, so make sure to play nice.”
Your big eyes skitter around. 
On your left, there’s a wolf, fox, and hyena who all lick their teeth at the sight of you.
Next to them lies a bear that wakens from his slumber. He licks his snout with a huff.
Drool drips from the hang in their lips as they start panting. 
And they aren't the only ones.
On your right, there’s a panther and leopard whose eyes all blackout into nothing but a deep pool of darkness.
Their tails slowly meander behind them as they arise from their beds to stalk you.
You whimper, backing up until your back hits the legs of your new owner.
You lift your head to look up at him, only to see him smiling down at you.
“Don’t be shy now. The smell of fear only makes them wilder.”

Art for my country Branch au 🥰 Details abt it under the cut ⬇️
Here's my silly little au! So basically Branch ran away from Pop village because everyone (minus Poppy) treated him terribly. While exploring he stumbles upon the outskirts of Lonesome Flats, where he trips and sprains his ankle. Delta finds him and is like "What tf you look weird but ig ur my son now." And from then on she takes care of him. Somewhere along the way Branch starts to call her Mom (or Mama/ Ma). Clampers is born at some point, making her Branch’s cousin. They love/hate each other and have that unhinged sibling dynamic. They just turn into a cute little family and I love em sm.
Delta also helps Branch regain his colors, although they are slightly muted tones of his true colors. Because the county trolls are so adept at dealing with grief, Branch is allowed to process his grandmothers death and his fear of singing with a good mentality. This leads to him slowly gaining his colors back (hence the blue streaks in his hair) and learning to be happy again. He does start to sing again but it's a mix of country and Pop. (Which comes into play during TWT, but more on that later).
Also I made Gary (the remote Imao) into a goat critter. He's stupid and I love him. Delta has an ongoing feud with Gary bc he constantly tears up the garden but she can't do anything brash because Branch absolutely loves him.
There is more but that's it for nowww! Feel free to ask questions and I’ll do my best to answer them! Give me ideas for this aus name pls I have nothing

You know those AUs where the Smiling Critters are turned into unlikeable characters I made my version of it, I much apologize, I just got the idea and I had to make it--
Tumblr media
Meet the Selfish Critters-
I'll probably change their designs in the future but let me introduce all of them- Dogday - The most normal out of the critters, he tries his best to be there for everyone but it's tough responsibility for one dog, bit of a people pleaser.
Catnap - Is not in touch with reality, he dozes off most of the time and has to be pulled back from his fantasies which he dislikes.
Kickin Chicken - Cares about being cool and himself, thinks he's above everyone else, will not listen if the topic's not about him
Bubba Bubbaphant - Thinks everyone's dumber than him, will not help unless it benefits him.
Bobby Bearhug - Does not respect boundaries, if you reject her uncomfortable affection she will guilt trip you into thinking she's the victim.
Hoppy Hopscotch - Impatient, has some anger issues, not very aware of other people's limits.
Picky Piggy - Tries her best to look pretty, would talk down on other's appearances to make herself look good, easily jealous.
Craftycorn - A shut-in, never comes out of her room unless she runs out of food or needs to do something outside
I swear there are reasons to why all of them are like that, you just have to find out..?

Playcare Assistant Player au.
(The giant smiling critters are robots)
(The playtime factory is a good place to work at-minus a few osha violations)
-Player decides that Rich needs some help relaxing-
(Not dirty)
“Oh come on Rich”
“No, N-O” Rich spoke arms crossing as he glared at Player before glaring at the giant fluffy purple cat known as Catnap looking at him from the equally large cat bed that he lay on.
Player put their hands on their hips “This can be good for you, Avery and the missus says you been more stress lately and cuddling with a cat helps a lot” You spoke trying to get your point across “it could be good for your blood pressure”
“One neither of them should be talking to you about that and two you shouldn’t be running a cuddle ring when the critters are charging” Rich countered back.
Player lightly bit the bottom, ok so they may have been letting lower level playtime co workers sneak into the charging area where the critters were left to charge after playing with the kids but in there defense playtime co shouldn’t have made large cuddly animals and since they started doing that production levels have raised more and even though the critters were charging they still like the attention so it was a win win situation(They might have been also charging 5 bucks for cuddles but that was a different subject).
“Just give it a try Richie it really good for the body to relax and plus the gang enjoys the attention too”
Rich kept his straight face but while he wouldn’t admit it while being lead to catnap aera he did see other employees hanging out with the other larges animals,
Some coloring with CraftyCorn, others with KickinChicken listening to sports on a hand held radio and he was pretty sure he saw Avery hanging with Dogday (traitor).
“So?”
“…Still no”
Player made a bit of a face before signing “You left me no choice…CatNap grab him”
Rich snorted “Do you honestly think I’m just gonna let him grab me-“ he froze a bit feeling the tail wrap around his middle, might have forgotten he could do that.
“Wait-no! Catnap!”
Player grinned as Rich was basically dragged to the cat bed and Catnap settle the grumpy man beside him before playing a paw on his chest and releasing his tail grip.
Player wish they had a camera as they watch Rich struggle under the cat’s paw for a few minutes before making a noise and flop back down with a annoyed expression.
“You can’t hold me here forever!”
“No just till you hour break is over, I’ll see you then!” You spoke and turned around and headed out of the room to do your rounds grinning as you heard catnap purr happily at the company and Rich’s angry mutters.

Synopsis: A sudden commotion causes to rattle you awake. Luckily a certain feline was there to soothe you sleep.
{{Poppy Playtime}} Pair: Catnap/reader
Relationship: Platonic (reader is a child)
{{Potential}} Trigger Warning: Grammatical errors, Distinct implication of violence, blood mention, suggestive (implied to be a gore), hallucination mention, Isolation but remain ambiguous if it's from Catnap or the Scientists or the reader itself, implication of reader being an orphan, catnap is bigger than the reader, catnap is not Theo, Spoilers, Vaguely implied Dead Dove Do Not Eat
🐚.Admin's note: Inspiration from @yanderes-galore and their masterpiece ✨ might take/use their au if allowed 👉👈
Tumblr media
The first sight upon your awakening is the vibrant hues of the interior of the playground. Accompanied by a playful rhymes designed to soothe or/and engage the childrens. The cushioned floors offer safety, should they stumble or fall from their antics, while the structures of twisted slides, hidden tunnels, and roped ladders await for exploration.
Then there's also the smiling critters.
A TV shows that were meant to entertain the children while their parents are away. One of the mascots managed to catch your mild interest. Its name is- ah, catnap? You're uncertain. Lacking socialization with others nor interest in the cartoon-ish group made you quite an airhead in their existence despite their increasing popularity. But Somehow, the scientists deem it fitting to assign one of the plush creatures to you. Initially strange, you couldn't help but question why the cat was chosen to be your companion. The scientists dismissed your inquiries, stating that Catnap would keep you company if you started to feel a tad lonely.
Since then, the cat has remained by your side, and as you spend more time together, you begin to notice peculiarities about the plushie. It seems to possess a human-like speech and behavior, eager to participate in various activities with you. Despite this, it still retains its resemblance to a real cat, often purring and cuddling like a genuine pet. However, the strangest feature of all is its ability to emit a unique smoke that makes the drowsiness cloud your mind.
It's strange and quite alarming to say the very least but, hey. At least you have a companion now. Right?
Suddenly, a deafening crash shattered the silence, breaking the tranquility in the air as you startled awake. Disoriented and still fatigued, you softly rub your eyes as you fumble out of your assigned bed and stride forward. The eerie silence has yet to be cutted again by ear-piercing screams through the other side. Although quite subtle, somehow still clear. This piques your curiosity as you stride forward and investigate the situation.
As you reached the door, you cautiously peered through the small gap you'd created, surveying the surroundings. Usually, there were guards or scientists patrolling the colorful hallway, but now, there's currently none. Odd.
Stepping outside your room, you embarked on an exploration of the area. The farther you venture from your room, the more the drenching smell intensifies. Accompanied by a crimson hue painting the interior and occasionally, a heavy footsteps and a faint gutteral growl. You've reached the very end of the facility as you come face to face with a large door.
Just as you are about to reach for the knob, a sudden familiar purring sound broke through the eerie silence, causing you to pause in your tracks. Turning a corner, you were greeted by the sight of Catnap, your oversized plush companion, sitting calmly on the floor. Its vibrant purple fur seemed to shimmer in the faint light along the moon collar on his neck. It's large, hallowed eyes stares at you with an almost knowing gaze. As its tail swayed around playfully.
Catnap? What are you doing here? You rotate your body as you stride to pick it up. a mixture of curiosity and suspicion washing over you. The plush creature tilted its head slightly, as if in response, before emitting a soft purr and nuzzle into your hand. It's long tails, loosely wrapped around your arms as it leans and licks your face in a reassuring manner and an attempt to distract you. The gesture made you recoil away as you notice a newfound smell that lingers around his usual lavender fur. It's the same smell that has been wafting in the air yet you're unable to pinpoint its exact origin.
"Friend... stay..!." Catnap's voice box vibrates, sounding slightly disoriented as it tries to pull you away. You shake your head, brushing it off as you attempt to inquire about the event unfolding and the disappearance of the facility's workers.
you adamantly approach the door, intent on seeing what's behind it but before could move any further, a faint red smoke fills the air, causing you to stumble. Thankfully, Catnap's tails wrap around your waist, preventing you from falling as your body goes limp. The purple feline gently lifts you onto its furry arm and carries you on its shoulder, leading you away as you weakly squirm, trying to regain your senses. Despite your protests, the cat remains unbothered, continuing to purr and softly scratch your back as hallucinations begin to cloud your mind.
As Catnap carries you back towards your room, your senses begin to fade as the hallucinations growing more vivid with each passing moment along the fatigues gnawing at the back of your eyes. Upon reaching your room, Catnap gently lays you down on the soft cushions, its purrs growing louder as it suddenly curls close to you. As you slowly drift into an uneasy sleep Catnap remains by your side. acting like a guardian as he continues to purr and nuzzle at you.
... Unbeknownst to you, on the other side of the door, a scene of carnage and horror unfolds, the aftermath of Catnap and the toys action around the factory. Yet within the wall of your room, all is peaceful, the only sound the gentle purring of your loyal companion as it cuddles with you, guarding you from the terrors that lurk beyond.

Another AU that has been knocking around my mind for a while XD I call it Moonlit AU
It can be summed as such: Pop Trolls are pretty wild bunch when it comes to looks, varying in colours, flocking/fur patterns, glitter, freckles, hair, you name it
It got me thinking, what sort of thing would they find attractive in prospective partner? While singing/harmonizing could be a part of it (and ngl, that did made me think of the Happy Feet movies, as silly as those were), my mind turned towards more physical attributes
Thus, this AU was born- where one of the reasons why Pop trolls like to be most active at night (to party) is that a Moon's Light also allows them to appreciate fur/flocking patterns otherwise hidden, where the complexity and style varies from troll to troll, as is thought to show one's inner self
Contrary to what one would expect from the Princess (and future Queen) of Pop, Poppy's patterns are rather simple- but striking nonetheless, firm and bold stripes, like taking a wide brush to a canvas- straightforward but chaotic in their hardly orderly fashion Poppy struts her patterns; they are unique and dominant among the general showing of swirls, polka dots and flower like spottings She is aware her stripes are not considered the most attractive of features- too similar to that of a predatory critter, too sharp for who is supposed to be cheerful queen of equally cheerful people- but she is a romantic at heart and believes that when it will be time to choose a consort, those physical features are surface-level importance at best, and this is the mentality she has going forward, looking at the glowing marks of her friends and considering them equally beautiful no matter what.
Until she manages to spot Branch one night outside under the full moon light that is.
Branch's pattern, in high contrast to Poppy, is far more complex. Symetrical but delicate in its filigree, and far more detailed than anything the Princess has ever seen before. Usually, Branch ventures out only on moonless nights, as he feels the glow of his marks are too visible, too dangerous to just show out and about, for every dangerous predator to see- and it is purely bad luck when bad weather caughts him outside longer than he would have liked, and Poppy manages to catch the sight of him while he is completely unaware he had been seen.
All her conviction flies right out of the window, as she looks at his delicate patterning and her mind just goes blank and - Oh
Usually she would have called out to him, ask him to come to a party- but she feels mesmerized, hypnotized by the elegance of the filigree, and her mind longs for a way to memorate it forever- with a photo, or a painting- and she stares at the entrance of his bunker long after he vanished inside, completely stupefied and wrong footed.
Before, Poppy hardly ever gave Branch a thought, when it came to this part of Pop Troll culture; as part of her, guiltily, sort of assumed that with his lack of colour, his patterning would be rather bland as well- and besides, it's not like he ever shown a desire to participate in courting dances.
But now she is left with sudden new, and unexpected feeling- her heart and breath going now a bit faster everytime she catches a glimpse of him from now on, her cheeks flushing and her tail wagging in excitement
(Her desk's drawer is filled with failed cut out scrapbook pieces of leaves and tiny detailed filigree, as she attempts to journal her sudden and new discover and cant get it quite right)
Tldr; Pop Trolls have fur/flocking patterns that appear only under the moon's light, and Poppy finds Branch's so irresistibly attractive she hardly knows what to do with herself
This pushes her to try and spend more time with him- just spend time with him, no trying to push him to go to parties with her or trying to get him to sing or hug
For his part, Branch is both secretly pleased his own crush is now paying more attention to him than to Creek (who is not happy with this development) but also holy shit Poppy is paying more attention to him, so it is kind of unnerving for him, freaking him out
