...The Nightmare critters, a DISCONTINUED opposite version from the Smilingcritters, but instead they were sent down and replaced with frowning critters since they were deemed too 'scary'.
Nightmarecritters were soon forgotten from the public, living under the Smiling critters home in the rubble of their own town. Baba would still go up to watch the critters sometimes, missing her old friend Dogday. And Catnap, who had the green light to hangout and be apart of the Smilingcritters instead of the Nightmare ones.
Soon though, Baba gets an unhealthy love/hate obsession, and begins going on a VIOLENT emotional and physical rollercoaster. But as Baba starts to bring back Dogday's memories of the past, everyone soon remembers the fake world they're stuck in....

The Murder Critters AU
(Original art by Zion-The-Storyteller) Ten years ago, the Hour of Joy turned a toy factory into a nightmare. The Critters, once cheerful mascots meant to comfort children, weren't killed by Catnap - they were spared. The Prototype saw value in them. Twisting their minds, he turned them into loyal disciples of his growing cult. All except one. Labeled a heretic, he was cast out... and the others were made to forget him. There was only one human child to survive the Hour of Joy. Ten years have passed, but the trauma never left him- the smiling faces, the screams, the ones you couldn't save. Life moved on. He didn't. Then one day, a mysterious letter arrives. A chance to return. A chance to end it. A chance to bury your demons once and for all. But when memories come back to life... so do the monsters.
Critters of Armageddon (A Smilling Critters A.U.)
Imagine playtime co. running on nuclear.. And it goes boom. Oh! And there's another competitor too.. A special little bioweapon doing, to put it simply, some tomfoolery~.. DISCLAIMER: It'll get quite deep and serious into mental wellbeing and mental health in general + a few descriptions of bodily harm and injuries so any sensitive readers be advised. This one revolves around Bubba a little more cuz I noticed how neglected the poor guy is so giving him a villain arc would sound absolutely gas. Of course everyone will get screen time but in general just saying I'm making a pinpoint in this one :3 HEADCANNONS (gonna keep it simple): Narrator - God.

Writing fixations: Bold = thinking / screaming Sideways = explanation of surrounding / activity Underline = serious / manipulative tone

A Puppy's Dream Shield
When ''The Smiling Critters'' got added into playcare, there were only seven of them: Hoppy Hopscotch, Kickin Chickin, Crafty Corn, Bobby Bearhug, Bubba Bubbaphant, Picky Piggy, and DogDay. Before they got added into Playcare, they went through a series of tests to check if they really got what it takes to take care of children in an orphanage. After a few weeks of getting used to eachother, they heard the intercom turn on with a man behind it telling everyone that the ''Smiling Critters'' was a HUGE success, and that they have an announcement to make to all of them. ...And what they heard shocked them all... So with the two new scents of Lavender and Valerian. Will they all get along? ''They should not have any memory of the procedure, but everything before that is still intact'' ''But we must forge onwards in the name of science'' ''Weather those who are beneath us understand it or not, END OF-'' I don't own any characters mentioned in this story except for my own oc just to make that clear. The characters are from ''Poppy Playtime'' (Chapter 3 specifically), by Mob Entertainment.Complete
