  Everytime you have to kill a bigger body it’s pretty messed up given they’re just children. Poppy Playtime is a dark fucking game.

  Gr00ming a kid to become your guard dog is fucked beyond belief.

  Yarnaby is actually one of the cutest designs until the mouth opens.

  I'm glad they updated Yarnaby's death animation because before, many gamers did not understand that his yarn caught on fire.

  Orphans who grew up when Elliot was still around or got adopted were extremely lucky

  I absolutely hate Yarnaby’s lore for all the right reasons. It’s so tragic to hear what happened to him. 😭

  All orphans deserve a caretaker, but not all caretakers deserve a orphan to take care of

  I noticed that Yarnaby's ad is one of the only ones that doesn't glitch out, the other ads that do (like Doey and the Smiling Criters) are dead, and using the logic that when a toy dies their cardboard cutouts don't work anymore (like Mommy's cutouts in chapter 3 or the Smiling Criters ones not working after we hear them die) so I have a theory that Yarnaby is still alive because his ad isn't glitching at all

  Yarnaby is honestly my favorite.<br><br>Ignoring the orphan part… he’s so cute and has bad puns.<br><br>Not ignoring the orphan part…<br>I adore his giggles and him trying to murder the player.

  Harley saw that Quinn was disturbed, maybe displaying early signs of psychopathy, from the start. Yarnaby’s story is likely one of many of a similar variety: a child looking for solace and a mentor to believe in them, only to be broken and remolded into what Playtime Co needed them to be, not even cognizant of the fact they WERE HUMAN anymore. Harley’s particular mixture of sadism, cold calculating personality, and own socio-psychopathy make him an exceptional case of adults who abuse children in this fashion in real life. And of course, evil police officers and doctors, people ordained to serve and protect on paper using their expertise to hurt instead, always get my blood boiling, never mind if their victims are children or adults.

  You know, Quinn&apos;s story is a warning of what we might get with the Children.These are kids that live their entire lives hidden from the world.<br><br>Any child who would have being 10 or older at the time when the HoJ unfolded, would be in their 20&apos;s now. These are people who aren&apos;t ready for the world they are going to face once all is said and done, their psychological development stunted by 10 years of Hibernation. It was also evident from Poppy, when she thought Ollie was a real person, she did not know children grow into an adults. If she did, then how she never came to the realization that Ollie was still a child 10 years on.<br><br>I think Poppy, who never grew herself like the other BBIs, is not ready for this revelation when she sees that they are all 10 years older now and different from when she last saw them, anymore than she is unwilling to accept Elliot, her father, may be the Prototype. The game series has being not just one of constant betrayals, but non stop tragedy.

  The Playcare really did help many orphan children getting adopted, just like what Elliot Luwig ever dream off but his former &quot;student&quot; however is the bad example of the &quot;adopted&quot; concept... my guess why Quinn only got 1 in the second round of &quot;Musical Memory&quot; is because he at first didn&apos;t believe over Harley would come to the Game Station and then later got much improvement of his score for the rest because he was motivated by The Doctor actually did come to see him, like how a child would be happy if their parent come for their talent show performant. <br>it pretty sad how many orphan who at the Game Station thought that if they got a good score, it would mean that they easy chance to get adopted, only to them getting turn into a toy. Just like how Riley explain her story in her notes.... i not even surprise that Quinn though that the Doctor himself going to adopt him if he got a really good score, which is possible since the past chapter show that the staff can adopt any orphan in the Playcare... but the sad part is that the Doctor don&apos;t mind to use any children to become part of his Bigger Body experiment...
