The Sad Story Of Bron in Poppy Playtime

[@dshouli]

I don’t know why, but the all the footage of Bron makes me feel extremely sad. It’s just, how he’s small, compared to his surroundings and even his own pool of blood. To me, he looks genuinely confused, terrified, and alone, due to not being to able to comunicate, and being rejected by other Bigger Bodies, in eerie tragic sense. It just kinda reminds me of stray puppy which needs to be cuddled.

No, fr! I made the mistake of watching the video a while back while I was on my period and I literally sobbed and had to hug my mom, lmao.

I wonder if its how the kids felt around those scientists

[@mariplays.not8]

Nah you right fr fr

[@phoneguy4637]

I still firmly believe that The Prototype snitched on Thomas Clarke to let the other toy monsters know who "Bron" really was.

On Thomas Clark to let the other toy monsters know who Bron really was. For real life

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

In Playcare a curfew was put in place due to staff "going missing". When they knew too much or began latching onto the children, I believe the staff met the same fate as Thomas (their paperwork simply fabricating reasons for "vollunteering"). It just seems strange that an unimportant worker was informed about experimentation, allowed to live and then to vollunteer when Rowan Stoll was killed for what he knew.

[@argon2532]

I like to imagine that those two Bron "statues" we see in the Rejected Room were actual experiments, having been killed by Mommy Long Legs and her goons very recently. This also suggests that some Giants had multiple iterations of themselves, something we see with PJ in the Game Station and on the shrine, Bunzo in the Game Station and the Easter comic, and the Mini Huggies in general.

First, they put him in a broken toy. They clearly didn't care for him (or I didn't understand well). They didn't put that much effort in him, too, i think. He seems smaller than the other ones, and him not being able to talk is one indicator that they did not do it well. Second, he was so confused. He did not know where he was, which is an indicator of "I don't know what happened or why I am here." He could not move that much, could not talk, he was clearly scared when they just left him there. His confusion with his body and the inability to interact with it is another indicator. As for the rest.. They just isolated him in a room without color or any decorations. Just a typical room, or more like a hostage room. They locked him up like some sort of garbage to forget about. Just with that, it shows that they did not care about him, and they just wanted to get rid of him. They just didn't miss a chance to experiment. The guy knew too much, and they disposed of him in a twisted way.

[@Ray-mb3sv]

Also the way he was put into a little body when he had much more material for the bigger one, like little kids be put inside something 5 times bigger than them but he got something not even half his size, they definitely hated his guts

[@entityunknown732]

That's not fully correct. He wasn't put in a broken toy, they cut mental testing in half as said in bron's video. They mostly use kids to turn into toys because it was easier. Bron can't talk because the other toys ripped out his larynx as said in his video. Some parts of his video seems to be not in order, the damage look is because of the attack not the surgery as he has damage on his neck. He's in a new body, he doesn't know how to use it yet. Just like how in the page about bobby trying to move. They isolated him from the other toys because they would have off him. They (the other scientists) did care about him, if they didn't they wouldn't have sent in the research team to get him when he's attacked or spent 12 hours in surgery to fix him. Thomas Clarke didn't know too much, he knew just enough. If they wanted to get rid of him, they would have just fed him to boxy boo like Rowan stoll

[@Ray-mb3sv]

@@entityunknown732 I do agree mostly, but even if they didn't hate him they still don't have any attachments either, since he "volunteered" he became valuable only as an experiment that they can't lose, especially when other experiments are showing different behavior around him they literally brought him back only to see "what's next¿ that's never happened before, gotta see more", its even more cruel

[@sachikoyuzuki1175]

@entityunknown732 Makes sense! You don't know how tired I was when I wrote this and it was like 1 in the morning for me. 😂 I did think about it after like "that doesn't makes that much sense but meh". Happy someone clarified for me, thanks.

[@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter]

I noticed a comment that said this some time ago: it said that he moved in the light, while the toys moved in the shadows. Maybe that’s how they knew

[@societiii]

Well duh u gotta understand the kids got their brains wired from the game station 😂😂😂😂 bron was an old man that just got turned into a tot

[@0racle.sunrise3570]

That makes sense.

[@Bench322]

Bron is very important character as bigger bodies experiment. He played a huge role in Bigger Bodies Initiative. Unfortunately, 1199 was fail experiment, but each iteration improves main Bigger Bodies formula. We don't know who was the experiment 1200 and 1201 but I see REALLY BIG improvement between 1199 and 1222. Maybe 1222(mommy long legs) was the first experiment, who can talk, because experiment 1160(boxy) can't talk, 1170 can't talk too. We found out that 1186(Bobby) had big problems with voice box. 1188 can talk, but very bad and 1222 had the best voice in Bigger Bodies Initiative. We don't know, which things they improved in further experiments like 1322 and 1467. Oh, 1199 can't talk too, LOL. I've noticed a very interesting detail! 1006 and Poppy can talk! This is my comment-theory

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

That's really fascinating. Thank you for sharing👍

[@teammystic4life38]

Technically Poppy who was made in 1950, way before the other ones was the first experiment who could talk. As for the first experiment in the bigger bodies initiative it might have been 1222 so maybe you're right

[@Bratishton]

Information.

[@tzvikrasner6073]

The innocuous secondary character, introduced, then forgotten, only to be reintroduced as the final culprit. It's a classic mystery trope.

[@vsprsgdby]

One thing that always confuses me, so I’d appreciate if someone clears it up for me. We have the BBI (huggy wuggy, mommy, pj, smiling critters, etc) and the smaller experiment toys (tiny smiling critters, born, poppy, etc). These toys really stayed within the company. But does that mean that the toys they sold on the public shelves were also experiments? Because if not, why would there be a warning on poppy dolls not to try to change her batteries on their own?

[@MikeFireheart]

I think the Poppy dolls were most likely imitations of the original Poppy doll and were connected with one consciousness of Elliot's daughter. Compared to the bigger bodies which were more crude and about saving money on workers. If you remember, the factory didn't have easy access to bodies when Poppy was created and we didn't hear about any other questionable activities until the bigger body initiative. This means only Poppy was an 'experiment' sold on the market, compared to Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, The Smiling Critters, and so on. It makes sense as Elliot Ludwig was a caring guy, so he wouldn't allow inhumane experiments be pushed out to children.

[@argon2532]

I'd assume that only the Poppy dolls were experiments; the rest weren't alive.

[@MikeFireheart]

@@argon2532 Good assumption, but as shown with the mini-huggies, some were alive to be used as part of tests for workers and kids.

[@argon2532]

@@MikeFireheart I was talking about the toys sold to children, not the ones created for the Bigger Bodies Initiative.

[@MikeFireheart]

@@argon2532 That makes more sense, but the mini-huggies are the closest we'll get to living toys being made for kids, outside Poppy.

[@mistahanansi2264]

3:14 Again, bro... NOT accurate. Playcare, the onsite orphanage was invented by the founder Elliot Ludwig in 1976, but he's not even the one who proposed the Bigger Bodies Initiative. That idea was proposed to the Playtime Co. executives by Dr. Harley Sawyer, who did so in 1989. Therefore, Elliot Ludwig could NOT have created the Playcare orphanage for the sole purpose of test subjects for the Bigger Bodies Initiative, since that idea hadn't even come into existence until thirteen years later.

[@ryebreadthebread]

My personal theory is the reason he was so confused and unable to communicate is because he didn’t have the child-like ability to imagine a toy to be real and because of that the toy couldn’t truly become a real entity

[@QUEEN_Alpha_Mama86]

What if theres a sinister bigger body version of "Bron?" That we haven't seen (Yet)

[@QUEEN_Alpha_Mama86]

Which makes sence cuz he was left in a "Containment Cell by himself- due to the fact he got attacked and almost killer by BOXY-BOO is why BRON WAS "secluded " could be the new mental transformation into the "bron" thT we havent met ((Yet))

[@somebodythatiusetoknow2027]

Hope we see Bron in chapter 4!

[@bobbydenney8368]

I hope so too and I hope he'll be on our side

[@anonuser1279]

The toys taking away his ability to speak absolutely speaks volumes to me. "No one listened to us, now no one will listen to you."

[@handlebecauseihaveto]

A lot of this info is inaccurate. The bigger bodies initiative was to create tpy employees, and big ones, like huggy and mommy. This employee was put into a normal sized bron tpy, not part of the intiative. And the footage of him waking up damaged isnt from after the surgery. Its from after the attack by the other toys.

[@Steamer96]

I don't know Exp. #1199 looks kinda small to be BBI, I expect a mascot experiment of Bron to be as big as 1170 aka The Huggy that chased us.

[@angelicafigueroa0221]

So long story long Bron was a older man dying of cancer who volunteered, as far as we know, to become a toy Probably sold him on the idea of living forever when the insurance money wouldn't pay for his treatment Once a toy, they tried putting him with the others but they attacked him on sight, they had to pull him out and keep him isolated Now we can feel bad that this cancer patient felt so desperate that he opted to be a toy, sure But what if he wasn't a good man at all Why did the toys hate him immediately, even in movies the monster skips over the cancer patient so why did the toys nearly kill him as soon as he was placed with the others Was he a child abuser, having cancer doesn't automatically make you someone to pity, not if you allowed children to suffer just to make your life less miserable He must've done something to one or more of these kids and as soon as they saw that little Bron toy they lunged. Why else rip out his throat so he can't talk?

[@Con-zk1gf]

They attacked him because he was a employee. He had zero clue what was going on but he was still an adult in the eyes of the other toys

[@angelicafigueroa0221]

@@Con-zk1gf that's the thing I'm pretty sure he had to have known something, at least about the prototype and how that came about. Such a surgery, going just by the lore itself, seemed like something reserved for the inner circle, kinda like scientology, you actually have to reach a certain level to hear about the volcano aliens, so ok guessing this is going along that vibe. Otherwise the hostility from the others seems more unnaturally feral on their part. From the Bron videos we see others already made into toys in the holding area, for arguments sake let's assume they didn't know it was an adult at first glance, tearing him apart as soon as he got there seemed a bit excessive no?. What if it had been another orphan? Do they inherently know when a person becomes a toy and at what age or does the prototype tell them ahead of time? For me at least the way in which they went after Bron is similar to that of the The Hour Of Joy, a vengeful murder of those who wronged them, why else rip out his throat so he can't talk, unless and this is a crazy theory I know best with me, what if he was attacked and sent back to solitary holding to save his life in the long run, he can't talk, so no one can tell he's an adult, they'll just think he's another one of the others. Maybe there's factions amongst the toys and he was attacked to not only keep quiet about what he saw but to make sure others don't figure out who he is. Although since he's a Bron toy they might guess he's first gen and not newer like the smiling and Nightmare critters, then again it's just a theory.....

[@teammystic4life38]

​​@@Con-zk1gfHe knew about the prototype and then Catnap because he saw him drop off the injured Theo to be saved and we know Theo gets turned into Catnap afterwards to save his life

They story is completely unique in the sense of trying to preserve life vs destroying it (fnaf) but also as an easy way (conceptually) to save money.
