Grambell family prologue:
Theodore Grambell, a former orphan of the playtime factory who'd grown up there, is now 34 years old and away from the factory. It felt selfish to leave the place without giving a proper goodbye to the company and all it's "good" deeds. So he decided to permanently care for three young orphans of the company.
The oldest(James) refuses to view Theodore as family. The middle child(Molly) is your stereotypical "brat" though she is spoiled, not rotten, and she is really grateful to have family again The youngest(Elizabeth) While far too young too understand the good that had just happened for her, she was glad to feel warmth again.
If not for Theodore, all three of these young ones were possible selections for "The Big ones" or "The bigger bodies Initiative," as most know it. Everything seemed peaceful for a very good while until an "incident" popped up.
An accident at the factory had occurred, and unfortunately, Theodore lost his life in the process.
The accident made Theodore a perfect selection for "1188"(otherwise known as catnap), as he was in the past due to another incident with the grabpack's green hand.
Once Theodore was transferred into his new body, he was pulled away from the home sweet home due to him having odd depressive episodes.
The playtime staff quickly took notice of this and pulled him out of the home sweet home to get to the bottom of his odd behavior. The staff transported him to the interrogation rooms but barely any reply at all was given. He was in quite a bad state his voice box appeared broken, and he was mentally not doing well.
Anytime a question was asked, his only responses would be somewhere among the lines of "Give them back" or "The prototype will save us." Playtime grew angry and impatient with these same and constant responses. They had enough. the higher-ups had a supposed solution to these repetitive responses. March 15 of 1995, playtime assured catnap that his children had died and insured it was nothing he needed to worry about, and he should tend to his assigned job in playcare.
It was now the year " 2000" and the children of Mr. Grambell are now under the care of an Middle aged couple who go by " "Marceline" and "Jeffrey."
The children didn't think too much or too little about their father's death, they assumed it was a work accident as they were told and grieved normally. Until a particular package was received in the mailbox of the home. The middle child of the bunch made sure to grab the package and inform her brother of it.
[ There will be spelling mistakes and genreal I'm still learning lol]

(Pls request)
[ POPPY'S NEIGHBORHOOD AU REBOOT❗️❗️]
So I thought I was abandoning this au, but my brain said otherwise.
Info as of now:
Playtime's new cartoon 'Poppy's neighborhood' aired on tv Saturday evenings two years before the smiling critters got their own cartoon. It became a beloved cartoon by many.
It was a fun, colorful cartoon featuring all your favorite characters from poppy to huggy from catbee to boogie bot! Unfortunately, the show stopped airing for a while due to adults complaining about it being to "inappropriate" and the playtime company taking notice of "things" they didn't want everyone to know. but years later, it could be found on various platforms and tv channels, and the original was recovered thanks to some college students recording it a while back.
MEET THE GANG(The trusted adults):
Mommy long legs:
a hard-working mom indeed! Mommy long legs is the mother figure of the gang. While she is a hard-working daycare attendant, she also has a family of her own! This version of Mommy mainly taught kids to love their family and treat them with respect and also that "Mother knows best!"
Miss(or Mrs. )Delight:
A teacher dedicated to making sure her students have the BEST education she can possibly provide. Miss Delight is a very patient teacher who won't mind helping out her students if they mess up! Aside from being a teacher, she is also the lifelong partner of Mommy long legs.
Doey the doughman:
What's that? Got somewhere to be, but need someone to watch your fussy child? Well, Doey's your guy! Doey is one of the most trusted adults in the neighborhood, which is why he's your #1 babysitter. If you need to get out of the house but can't bring your child ring Mr. Doughman up, and he'll be there in the blink of an eye
Yarnaby lion: a kind man with a heart of gold with a bright smile that touches your soul. And the world's best zookeeper, we guarantee! Yarnaby has tons of experience with animals, bunnies, and beast alike. While he is good at talking to animals, he's not very good at talking with people, which is why he can't tell a certain doughman something!
Pianosaurus: A retired band member who spreads the joy of his piano (or keyboard) wherever he goes! Even without the rest of the band, once your ears pick up on his talent, it's like a meldoy in your head!(Yes, that was indeed a reference lol)
Huggy wuggy: a silly funny guy to say, the least, but he's also a super skilled security guard who loves hugs! Once he gets a grip on you, he'll never let you go![side note: he misses his girlfriend who's in college/ university at the moment]
The doctor: we wouldn't exactly call him a "trusted adult," but he's a really good surgeon who knows what he's doing, so you shouldn't need to question any of it . He's also the longtime lab partner and assistant of "Mr. Prototype"
Mr. Prototype: a father with an evil exterior.. But he truly wants the best for his children! He's a pretty nice guy he just comes off the wrong way. We promise! It's rumored that he is really dark and mysterious as well!
Okay, that was a LOT. I know I spelled some things incorrectly, but I will go back and fix that later.
Hello I have a few Ideas on what you can do.
How does Doey feel about Christmas?
What if the player has a slight meltdown due to the stress of everyone arguing?
Do the toys feel guilty about the scars Angel has?
(this one's in the factory) What if the player became a toy? how would they safe haven crew react?
Not sure if you lost interest in Poppy playtime and moved on but here are some ideas!
Another low effort animatic of Doey because he's literally my son
