Hopesong Pegasus is the newest member of the Smiling Critters gang. She is content with her life with her Smiling Critter's family and befriending the children in playcare. what more could someone ask for? Unfortunately, her life comes crashing down as the Hour of Joy descends on the playcare, and now she is left to pick up the broken pieces of her life in the lower levels of the factory. Will she survive? or will she succumb to the horrors trapped within the walls of the laboratories.

(There will be Dogday x reader later on, but it will be a minor pairing in the story)

Dog Toy: A Poppy Playtime Fanfic by mmrosewrites
18 parts Complete Mature
The first thing you notice is the torso with the bloodied, fleshy severance. Then the strung-up arms. Then the hanging head of something, someone, that looks so familiar. A dog, so similar to the other anthropomorphic characters... It comes to you, finally catching the name of this toy: Dogday. What the hell is he doing here? --- I've been so obsessed with the Smiling Critters since seeing Poppy Playtime Chapter 3, especially the one character who deserved better. Bro's literally my comfort character, so Imma right a better ending for him. CW: Some chapters contain mature scenes, this will be marked with a ❣️, pls read at your own discretion.

Yandere!Smiling Critters x Male!Child!Reader Y/n was a just a normal kid, wanting to make friends at Playcare, but no one wants to play and be friends with him, except for a kid named Theodore Grambell, who mysteriously disappeared. However, the Smiling Critters took notice of this and tried to be the best friends that Y/n could asked for to make him smile and be happy for them. But then, before the Hour of Joy happened in Playtime Co., Y/n was placed inside a cryogenic chamber in one of the labs and was soon woken after a long time, finding himself trapped inside the factory that left to rot and abandoned since the Hour of Joy and Y/n is left all alone to find a way out of the factory alive before he becomes the toy's next victim. That is, if the toys really want to harm a poor, defenseless child like Y/n as they seemed to want Y/n all to themselves, including the Smiling Critters that don't want Y/n to leave and want him to join the family as a Smiling Critter like them. What will Y/n do in an abandoned toy factory to escape from a bunch of evil toys that want to play with him forever and ever?

Please Read A story about the Smiling Critters because why not? This my own AU so it may not follow what you believe. Also if you know my other Poppy Playtime story(s) (that I plan to make in the future), then I will let you know it does not involve my critter OC's. Warning -Bad Grammar -Bad spelling -LGBT+ -Swearing -Chaos -Ships -Blood/Gore -Violence -Cringe scenes (I think??) -Spoilers For Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 (sort of?) THIS STORY WAS MADE BEFORE THE RELEASE OF POPPY PLAYTIME CHAPTER FOUR! (I do not own the bigger body characters! They belong to Mob Entertainment) (IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE STORY, MY AU, OR ANY OF THE SHIPS DO NOT COMMENT ON IT)

Cover art is by @Windlepop on Twitter! Check em out!! Dogday and Catnap are at odds with each other. Catnap, of course, worships the Prototype as his and the other toys' savior. Dogday, and the other critters, however, disagree with his beliefs. The cat punished them according. Dogday in particular took the brunt of said punishment, as Catnap nearly manages to kill him. Until something mysterious happens once Catnap uses his signature poppy gas. He finds himself falling unconcious to the poppy gas himself, as Dogday wakes up in a new, yet familiar world.
