HEADCANON/AU INFO TIME (Smiling Critters edition):
Hoppy and Kickin are best friends, rivals, and secretly crush on each other
Hoppy, Kickin, and DogDay are bi
Bobby and Piggy are lesbians
Bobby and Crafty are hopeless romantics
Bubba is aroace
CatNap is gay
Crafty is demi
Crafty is a demigirl
Simon Smoke likes Crafty
Simon teases Crafty, but in playful banter. If he catches any of the Nightmare Critters bullying her, he gets protective
Icky's Poppy Gas causes hallucinations and is poisonous (I'm fairly certain he's a poison dart frog, hence the poisonous effect)
Kickin acts confident, especially around Hoppy, but secretly has low self-esteem
Kickin only lets his guard down around Hoppy, and only sometimes
Piggy only makes special treats for people she's close to (ie, a batch of Bobby's favorite cookies)
CatNap stays up late in case one of the Critters needs help sleeping
CatNap has insomnia, ironically
Each Critter has Poppy Gas – we only got to see CatNap's
DogDay and Kickin briefly dated when they were younger (it was an early ship of mine that I no longer enjoy – I might at some point in the future, but currently, no. You do you, though! :3)
Crafty and Bubba often hang out together, even if they're just working on their own things in the same room
Kickin acts cold to CatNap (ever since the recall), but is one of the first to worry about him if he knows the cat is hurt or sick (right after DogDay)
CatNap blames himself for the recall, despite it being a manufacturing issue
Kickin teases CatNap by calling him "Nappy Cat"
DogDay is oblivious af (still better than Adrien Agreste, though)
Piggy and Maggie (Maggie Mako) get along incredibly well
The Critters know they're in a TV show, and they used to be aware of what happened in the factory
CatNap only gets restful sleep when he's around DogDay
