Kitty’s Lullaby 🌙🎶
An original song by me :)
Catnap’s character theme from Smaller Bodies!
I finaly managed to get some time to read sugar breath, Lets go!
Now I regret it…
Because now I have to wait the last chapter :(
Amazing work as always btw! Its always a pleasure to read!
:D yeahhh!! Thank you so much for following my silly lil series :) I do hope it didn’t make your bus ride too morbid though because Sugar Breath is… not the most lighthearted thing I’ve written
Thank you! ❤️
Hi! I wanna share something special!
I have an OC named Manitari whom I adore. She’s a mushroom cat I made with @aposterous ! She’s been getting a lot of attention on Art Fight and the entires are absolutely BEAUTIFUL, so I want to show you them!
Firstly, this is Manitari:
She’s a giant autistic fluffer who lives in a cottage in the woods and her special interest is mushrooms! This ranges from cooking to gardening to… um… getting high…
But now! Onto her attacks!
And finally - he’s not on art fight this year, but
SWEATS
SO EXCITED FOR CHAPTER FOUR!!1!(2(3+3!!!??3!!!
After Catnap was taken away, the Critters were never the same…
Claustrophobic and terrified of the dark
Always stays with at least one person; can’t handle being alone
Dating CraftyCorn
Frequently bursts into tears when reminded of traumatic events
Deeply broken after Catnap’s disappearance
Believes that she has been murdered
Doesn’t smile, doesn’t even bother
Will defend the Critters with his life but will not defend himself
Blind (one eye gouged out, the other not functioning)
Wears sunglasses 24/7 to hide his eyes
Not self-confident; fragile and traumatised
Jealous and nervous around able-bodied people
Paranoid and claustrophobic
Swears that she saw Catnap dragging a body
Sticks to Kickin constantly and helps him walk
Wants to bodybuild and learn self-defence
Still very anxious
Dating Bobby, sticks to her like glue
Defends Catnap’s memory but will break down in tears
Sticks to only painting happy things, avoids the memories of the fire
Constantly anxious
Paranoid that people are expecting him to do things he can’t do
Finds it difficult to concentrate and calm down
Often found alone frantically cramming knowledge in case he “needs” it
The only one who seems mostly unscathed
Nervous around using fire in the kitchen
Brings up her admiration for Catnap in casual conversation
Sometimes forgets that the incident even happened
And finally…
Completely separated from the other Smiling Critters
No longer considers herself as part of them
Aches when thinking of Dogday and therefore tries to distract herself
Anxiety is gone
Well, my friend.
This:
(This is legitimately super fun to write and I’m really happy with it :D)
She’ll be based off the existing one:
Obviously she can't be identical because this ☝️ is the BIGGER BODIES Catnap. For starters, my girl has short, stubby legs, which that thing… uhh… does not.
In Sugar Breath, her description reads like this:
“A skeleton cat, its fur utterly shed, bones and scars and bruises jabbed all around its papery skin. The creature’s spine shoved out of its back in sharp ridges. Its mouth gaped wide, wider than possible. Human faces bubbled and boiled within its skin. A sharp, angular moon pendant glinted in the sickly light.”
The faces boiling in her skin comes from the original concept for Nightmare Catnap, here:
I personally much prefer this version and want to create something similar to it.
How she works in Smaller Bodies is that, when someone is inflicted with fear and under the affects of poppy gas, they watch her fur peel off and shed, revealing the bones beneath.
She would also keep her jewellery. Here’s a very rough sketch:
No cheek fluff
Exposed ribs
Extremely sharp spine that extends to the tip of the tail
Earrings have changed (everything’s sharper, the heart is upside-down, the stud is a skull)
Her gentle 🌙 is now more of a jagged ‘C’
Ears are sharper, less fluffy
Claws are very long
Keep in mind that this sketch was hammered out in 10 minutes so obviously it’s missing a lot of details and overall looks very odd.
Exposed poppy gas tank in belly
She’s showing up for the first time in Sugar Breath and I need her to be fabulous ✨
They want to cook dog day in a saucepan
i shooted from da sky and hitted da ground in da farm fertiliser
The urge to draw Ollie with a MIAMI BITCH cap and a GoPro like “hey guys I’m in the Florida Everglades and there’s a giant swamp puppy coming in hot” and it’s the Huggy Wuggy statue
I love shower thoughts
Very first time drawing the Player! Let’s go!! 💛
Also, we have some super special art for @calebtsm! He loves Eevee and he’s made an arctic fox OC, so boom. They’re snuggling now!
55 BOOKMARKS :0
Okay! Planning time! As of now, Smaller Bodies is 88k words. I’m gonna try to round it off to 100k, though this may a little hard because I still have to get Catnap… apprehended.
Then?
New series, same universe.
Destroy-A-Toy starts when the world ends.
My writing’s currently stunted because of Art Fight, but I’m still writing, just slower. Several people mentioned to me that Sugar Breath takes a different approach to the other stories, in which case, thanks! :D Most of it’s been told from Catnap’s POV, but I wanted to check out how the other Critters perceive her.
I might write one-shots to do with more Theo and Ollie because I love those two BUT. As MrMateusz says: TheoNap.
In no order, here’s my list of cryptic stuff to work on:
Get Smaller Bodies to 100k words
“And Then We All Fell (Silent)”
Pre-Hour of Joy
VERY depressed Dogday
Another cat and dog
Gender phone call + enby pook
SHE’S GRANTING US VISIONS!!
*sprays Theodore Grambell with water*
Umm why is he drawing Harley Sawyer getting his legs ripped off…?
Collect my friends’/fan’s OCs for reasons
Write the dramatic scenes to Edda Hayes music 👇
“Don’t need a knight to guard the cave, can’t count the dragons that I’ve slayed
You can give it all you’ve got
‘Cause love is running through my veins, this lion can’t be tamed
There’s fire in my blood
There’s fire in my blood…
…
And finally, let me just say…
Smaller Bodies is the 1991 half.
Destroy-A-Toy is 1995.
💜💛🔥
HELL YEAH
Hoppy carrot cake

I’ll leave links to Qibs and nebu after fight page as well as my own and thanks to both of you again I want to hug the crap out of both you you <3 🫂

@calebtsm made my first attack!!
That’s my fursona and my two Smaller Bodies babies threatening to kill you lmao
Please show love to my buddy!!! he’s wonderful <3 his art fight is https://artfight.net/~Calebtsm and his top OC is a white fox named Fufu! Let’s get this guy >:D
Gimme this thing! Let’s hope it doesn’t trigger anything lol
“I loved you, always.”
Theodore's age will change, but right now he's 7 years old. Theodore is very important here.
Ao3 hate bot is going around leaving nasty messages. If you get a comment like this mark it as spam. According to comments it seems to be going to most recent not fandom specific.
Specifically, his 1995 design!
Meet the kid made of plastic who found a purpose in helping out the toys.
He’s since been moved to the security and electrical departments. Still manages phones, though. And the sick toys. He’s sort of like a cult leader how. Screw with the phone kid and every other toy will screw with you.
DON’T TOUCH THE CHILD!!!
You’ll also notice his colours have changed.
Playtime Co. screwed this kid over once too many. Their workers are red, yellow and blue. Guess what? Ollie doesn’t want to be associated with this company anymore. He may not be able to leave the factory but he sure as hell can leave his abusers in the dust. Secondary colours, bitch!!
Oh, one other thing.
Would you believe he’s 18?
In other words:
Are you happy with it ending while the factory is still open, keeping it strictly to the world of the Smaller Bodies?
Or would you rather have a longer AU with a conclusion to the canon? This includes recounting the Hour of Joy and the Player’s identity.
Thanks! Love from Qibs! <3
