Why Kissy Missy Helped Us in Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 (Poppy Playtime Theories) 

Huggy Wuggy was designed as a guard dog and Kissy Missy was designed as a staff member who could live on without the need of food and water, both engineered to have the perfect obedience and average intelligence. Huggy only seemingly hunted down the player in the same way an amoral guard dog may enjoy getting a meal now and then

Haven't watched the full video, but Kissy Missy might be friendly because she's not created with an adult soul, but an innocent child's soul from the Foster and Adoptive Care Initiative. The subjects that are made from adults like Mommy Long Legs, Subject 1006 and Huggy Wuggy became violent. Also, Poppy not letting us leave in the end of the chapter reminded me of Alice Angel.

This theory that Kissy Missy kept children sheltered in a hidden area could make sense. If you’ve seen the beta version of the game left in the Chapter 2 files, Poppy’s ending lines are different… she mentions needing to go to Playcare to start looking for those that went missing in the past.

Whatever reason Kissy Missy ends up being friendly, I'd love for her to come back as an ally during a later chapter, with her trying to keep you safe. Like, you get a Kissy Missy jumpscare as she chases you, then wake up a few moments later in a hiding place, being held by her as the Experiment passes by. Like how some Whales will altruistically try to save pretty much anyone and everyone from Orcas and Sharks. Having her go out of her way to protect you and getting attached to her over time would be a great way to have a hypothetical death of hers in the last chapter(s) be a genuine gut punch too - possibly seeing parts of her being part of the experiment in the endgame.

I have a theory that Kissy Missy answers to someone else. She used to keep the kids company in the playground but didn't seem to be apart of the tests themselves. She was probably sent to ensure we got back to the game station. Huggy has been theorized to be trained as security due to his hand being in the Le Pierre tape. His presence in the lobby seems to support this.

I feel like Kissy Missy is like Poppy, when Poppy got out of her case she was warm and friendly, but at the end of the chapter she becomes cold and distant. Maybe Kissy just woke up and escaped from a sort of case recently and happened to run into us and the darkness that overcomes the human souls have not taken over yet. Edit:also adding that Kissy Missy had to pull that lever TWICE hinting she is not used to her body yet

My theory about Huggy is that he wasn’t actually helping us in the first game with the key. The log from the scientist says he is intelligent so he is likely smart enough to realize if given the key the player would turn on the power for him and let him out of the main hub which he was seemingly trapped in.

I just realized, and keep in mind this could be completely false but it's interesting to me, maybe the reason Kissy Missy seems to struggle so much more than Huggy with her body's strength (she struggled a lot to flip the lever) is because the scientists made her weaker on purpose. They made Huggy to strong, it was too easy for him to overpower and kill people if he decided to, which he probably did. So they took that information into account and made Kissy weaker than us on purpose, she was made AFTER Huggy after all. I kind of doubt that this theory is true but it would be some pretty cool attention to detail if it is true.

Adding on to your second theory, I think that the reason why she doesn’t hurt us is because she can’t. The developers tried to show us this by making her try to pull the lever twice, as a stuffed animal would have a harder time trying to pull a lever. I think maybe the scientists that made her tried to avoid how much damage the toy could do by making their body more plush-like. That way if she tried to do damage, it wouldn’t be a significant as if Mommy Long Legs tried to hurt you.

There was an interesting theory on reddit that the protagonist - a former employee - adopted an orphan too and this orphan is now in Kissy Missy, recognizing the protagonist. I think there's a lot of potential in that idea, or at least parts of it. And I wonder whether we actually were an employee at the time, or really one of the orphans. Looks like we still got some stuff to look forward to.

Also, at 5:01, if you look closely at Huggy Wuggy's second smaller set of teeth, you can see that 3-4 of them are human-looking teeth. Don't know if that's a thing in the actual game. Don't know if it has any significance at all, just thought it was interesting.

My theory is the the playable character is the ‘perfect’ experiment. It seems like it’s not only creating living toys that is the goal, but also a search for immortality/revival. The fact the player dies and comes back after hearing some messages shows that perhaps the player was an experiment that went successfully in stopping death, which could be how they managed to escape while others did not.

if Kissy Missy turns out evil it will feel like a betrayal 💔

I also feel that the reason why Kissy Missy's subject was chosen, is because Huggy Wuggy needed something more specific to be supressed, all this coming from the perfect child, who was the subject of Kissy Missy. That would explain why Kissy Missy was meant to be companions with Huggy Wuggy, and why she seems to admire Huggy (The 'Kissy Missy' song played in the cutout.) The blue claw marks visible at what I think is near the end of the game may symbolize Huggy isn't dead just yet. If The Guardian Theory is correct, maybe the depths of where Huggy Fell, Kissy Missy has found him, and treated him until better. Huggy may become docile, or temporarily after you, until Kissy Missy stops him, then with his great speed in Chapter 1, in the vents, due to his obedience, you may be able to send him to go through vents for whatever may be an issue.

I think the fact it took her two trys to push the lever shows how gentle she is

I feel as though Mommy long legs, whilst she is an antagonist in chapter two, is actual sort-of a good character. she was meant to watch the kids, and probably holds a grudge against the people in charge for #1, turning her into a doll, and #2, hurting the kids. because we presumably play an adult character who once worked at the company, she probably sees us as an enemy. also, with kissy missy, i think she’s probably one of the kids. it’d make sense, as they were testing to find the strongest kid out of the bunch, so it’d make sense to take that one and turn them into their ‘best toy.’ that’s just my theory tho lmao

Kissy is shown with completely dilatd eyes through her sequence. It seems all aggressive creatures chasing at the peak of their rage also dilate their eyes on the chase. Could Kissy actually be completely into her darkness, but is playing a passive aggressive game ? Or because of the difficulty she has flipping the lever, is she angry but aware she lacks the control and ability to fight so it's a bit of a trick/lure?

That could also explain why kissy missy walked away so quickly. She wanted to avoid being around the adult player for too long to avoid her mind from becoming more tormented

I think the difference with her and Huggy is he was starving. If you look back at certain points durring his chase sequence you can see writing of "I'm so hungry" and things along that line

Theory: Kissy recognised us as a past worker. Though we left when everyone went hostile, she didnt think it was our fault, as we left before hostality in the toys came. She helped us because she didnt want us to die and "become one of them" so helped us, leading to opening the gate. still, that ran us into more things.

Missy's cloth hand slipping off of the lever on her first attempt is such a great detail.

I feel like kissy is neutral, not an ally or an antagonist. She'll help you if she wants to. She's just neutral like big in sonic adventure.

Theory: the reason mommy long legs may be hostile is for two reasons, 1. She lost her own child, and the adopted ones, which can make her angry and, proof is towards the scene where she says the playmate scene, 2. She may be hostile towards ‘cheaters’ because her husband cheated on her, which is very reasonable, which means she lost everything, which could means shes bringing her anger out on us. Edit: another theory is with kissy missy, is that she found the living workers, and saw how scared they were, reminding her of the children who at one point (on train, experimenting, with anxiety theory) she had seen there scared faces, and thought of sweet memories with the children, leading her farther and farther from hostility

Mommy doesn't feel that much friendly when first meeting her if you take in consideration her last sentence which is also literally followed by an evil laugh. You can even see that she exhibits psychopathic behavior from the very start. She is evil from the start to the end but tries to put a "mask" that falls apart as time goes by. That explains why she can come up as friendly for a part of the game, but all of it is just an act. Her plan from the very beginning is to get the protagonist to suffer, potentially in a gest of revenge for something that said protagonist was involved with in the past. Just by examining her dialogues it's easy to come up to those conclusions, especially with her line that blatantly states her plan "Mommy knows the game is rigged, but I just decided you won" and "The rules are so simple, you die and mommy gets to watch". Those lines are part of her dialogue when the player escapes the Statues game.

Although, I'm open to the idea of the character we play as being a test subject, I think the context of Poppy saying we're "perfect" and "capable" is more a reaction to us passing the tests and defeating Mommy Long Legs, which means we're the perfect tool for her to use against The Prototype. Still, I lean towards us being human as we've been outside the factory for a good amount of time and apparently live a normal enough life to receive mail, so it's not like we've been in hiding from the populous.

Around the 4 minute mark I began to wonder, even though it entered my mind with similar theories. When the children grow up, do the suppressors eventually wane? Would Kissy theoretically end up losing herself and kill the children she was supposed to take care of/protect? After all, they are no longer children, unless the toys, being living experiments, having growned up with them, would retain some form of attachment similar to loving them no matter how old they got.

I watched Jackepticeye’s play through of Chapter two today and I made an immediate theory of why Kissy Missy is so friendly. Toddlers were being tested on in the factory and like you said were killed and resurrected into these toys so what if Kissy Missy is a toddler which explains how she has no violent tendencies. Huggy Wuggy helped yes but he didn’t move to keep the illusion he wasn’t a threat until he took his opportunity to attack. I’m going to use my theory as personal head canon until proven otherwise I just like the idea so much.

The first theory makes sense to because you could see when she looked back after opening the door and then leaving she was in a hurry and needed to decide something fast. Love this

I think that all the violent living toys were created from adults during the earliest stages of development. These living toys were scientific marvels too valuable to destroy, but highly unstable around adults, so they decided to use them to watch over the children. It was probably around this time that they discovered through experimentation a child, especially one bonded with their toys, has the capacity to be much more docile and small (if the theory about them transplanting organs into the toys is true) making them easier to sell. That's why all the smaller toys in the factory are dead and all the living toys are adults driven crazy by the confinement.

I remember when i first listened to Missy's cutout, I immediately connected the similarities between her and the speaker in the game station. It was only after that i realized it was Stella, who is theorized to be Poppy due to character traits and them having the same voiceactor. But I think this is a red herring. I think Stella is Kissy Missy and will be our helpful guide through the next chapter

Does no one else see a pattern in their attitudes? I'll explain. The pattern i see is each individual characters trauma. Huggy at first was docile probably because he recognized our character as a former employee, but as we turn the power on, he most likely got skeptical of what we were doing; and stalked us. Only once we walked through the restricted area, did he start attacking. His 'trauma' must have been the fact that his programing included "maximum obedience" which caused him to follow orders after a staff member told him to attend to security. (In a way) Mommy longlegs was very controlled when going about her trauma at first, using Poppy and the train code as a sort of blackmail to get us to play dangerous and deadly games. After we escape the third game, she begs us to go back, saying that we won the game. Then, when we don't come back; she goes into a rage because we refused to die (triggering her trauma). Realizing this, she decides to take matters into her own hands and decides to kill us herself by playing yet another game. This time, she is more unleashed, which leads her directly to her death. Her trauma is not only our character being a former employee, and the employees not listening to her, but having to watch kids being tormented by experiments and disappearing. And she takes all of the internalized rage and resentment out on our character for being someone that hurt the kids she desperately cared for. Poppy's trauma is being locked away and/or restrained and restricted. Currently we do not know how long exactly that she was locked away in that box, but either way we know that (by the sound of her first voice-line) she was both shocked and relieved that she was finally free, so much so that after we saved her, the first and only thing she wanted to do was help us. Once, she told us that; while being locked up, she had a lot of time to think and reflect. This can be seen once again after we save her a second time that she questioned if longlegs died and after confirming she said "good". I believe that it was a sign that as she was forced back into what she had been doing for so long, her first instinct was to think and reflect. Following with the fear of experiencing the feeling of loneliness of isolation and the anxiety of being restrained, she wished harm on the potential threat, no matter how great of harm that might be. Longlegs's death was the only way to ensure that she would never be locked away again. (At least in the current situation) I think that the reason that Kissy didn't show any hostility, is because we (at the moment) had no way to trigger any trauma, because of the gate forming a barrier in between the protagonist and Kissy. She came, she helped, she left. Although, I find it weird that she not only knew what the lever was for, but you barely see any photos of Kissy and Longlegs in the same picture (Mainly hand-drawn pictures). And if you notice in the map of the once filled with children and staff Game Station, where the Kissy cutout with audio was placed next to the stairs leading to the train, was covered up by the smoke/steam that the train released. Was Kissy Missy not involved until just before the staff were killed? When was she created and with whom? I suspect that Kissy was made using a female staff member who was familiar with the ins and outs of tha Game Station.

Theory: we aren’t an employee. We’re simply an orphan who after discovering the note, decided to return to the Building, and Kissy was most likely a friend to the boy / girl before they were turned into a toy. The orphan Was most likely young when the outbreak happened, and was an escaped test subject. 10 years later, they return to avenge the others.

I haven't watched yet, but I think Kissy Missy is Stella Greybur. I think we can safely assume Ludwig's daughter is the one inhabiting Poppy, if he successfully resurrected her. And we know Mommy existed while Stella was human because of the recordings. Stella was a kind person from what we can tell, and that probably carried over to Kissy.

Two other popular theories I've seen floating around, that I personally feel is more likely, is that either the inconsistency in hostility from the living toys could be dependent on the Protagonist's status as a former employee, possibly the last employee outside the factory, or that the time of day might be relevant in how the toys act. Mommy Long-Legs specifically mention that we, the Protagonist, used to work at Playtime Co. so there is something about us that she recognizes. It is possible that the other toys we meet, in particular Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy, also recognizes us as a former employee and thus act towards us as they've been instructed. Huggy Wuggy was mentioned to have been the optimal outcome from the experiments at the time of the Final Log in Chapter 2, and logically Kissy Missy would've been created around the same time so likely isn't that far from his level of intelligence and obedience. This goes into the theory that Huggy Wuggy was part of the "less tame" aspects of the factory security that Laith Pierre spoke about in the first tape from Chapter 1, and indicates that the reason Huggy doesn't immediately kill us when we meet him is because he doesn't perceive us as an intruder. We used to work there, and something about us is distinct enough that at least one other toy has confirmed that she recognizes us, so Huggy might not find it weird that we are walking around the factory, and only attacks us either because we went beyond where an employee of our level was allowed or because he realized that we were sneaking into the factory when we weren't supposed to be there. If we go by this theory, it is possible that Kissy Missy either simply isn't part of the security aspect and thus have no reason to attack us, or doesn't realize yet that we're overstepping our bounds. The other theory also follows a similar line of thinking, but instead means that the time of day is relevant to when the factory security acts out. It guesses that Huggy doesn't attack us when we first enter the factory because it isn't "after work hours" yet and that factory staff was still expected to be moving about the place, but that when he later attacks us enough time has passed and that it is after the factory would've been closed and thus we were to be treated as an intruder. This could potentially also lend itself well to why Kissy, assuming that she has any sense of sentience, chooses to leave us as soon as she has helped out, and specifically why she leaves without looking where we went afterwards. If she was aware that she would become feral after enough time has passed, then it is possible that she wanted to get as far away from us as possible so she wouldn't be able to harm us, especially not if she didn't know where we had disappeared off to. Huggy Wuggy stalked us throughout the factory, or at least he was always in the same area as us. So if this theory is correct, he would've known exactly where we were located when we passed work hours and would've beelined straight towards us. On the subject of why this would apply to these two but not the other toys, the simple answer would be that they simply weren't part of the factory security. The transfer request states that Mommy Long-Legs was always hostile towards the staff members but much calmer in the presence of children, so her being hostile towards us and trying to kill us isn't out of the ordinary. The toys that were used in the tests (Bunzo, the small Wuggys, PJ etc.) were around children a lot as well, so if the whole "children calm them down" thing applied to all toys, they likely would've been less hostile as well, but Mommy specifically mentions that the Wuggy toys used to be restrained by strings to keep them from getting too close to the children during the tests, and PJ and Bunzo were really also just doing the exact thing they had been conditioned to do. On the other end of the spectrum, neither Poppy nor the Prototype showed any particular hostility towards the Protagonist. Poppy keeping us in the factory isn't really meant to harm us, but rather seems to have been done because she wanted us to stay and clean the place up, so to speak, and the Prototype arguably had the best shot at killing us out of any toy we've met so far. We were cornered in that room and had no way out that didn't put us directly within arm's reach of the Prototype, whether it would've entered the room itself or not. Instead, it just collects what it came for, and then opens the other exit to the room that was locked when we first entered (presumably at least, we don't know why the gate suddenly opened but it certainly wasn't something that we or Poppy did).

2:20 everyone: struggling on the vent chase scene this guy: does it backwards

Actually, another theory: I watch game theory but because of this video, I'm rethinking the whole "Stella Greybur=Poppy" thing Stella is an adult. Even if she's in a toy, she'd be writing perfectly(unlike Matpat's idea that poppy wrote the first ever note) I think Stella is KISSY MISSY, not sure who Poppy would be, though. Stella wanted to bring joy to the world so I think she'd know that we're trying to help, so, if she's Kissy, she would help.

there is also the possibility that Kissy Missy is actually Stella, the worker we heard in the tapes in chapter one. since Poppy is most likely the founder of playtime co's daughter. the reason behind this is her role during the play area when you flip the different levers to reach the games. that with the combination of Kissy Missys cardboard figure is right next to the levers. it could be that since Stella had a childlike soul even though she was an adult, could have made it so she didn't go feral as the others have. it's either that or Kissy Missy has her own agenda like Poppy has.

What if kissy missy is actually the player’s biological daughter who was taken against the player’s will to be used for experimentation? This theory could also account for why he came back, that being that the player’s daughter might still be alive. It would also give the player an interesting parallel to Ludwig in terms of the story. Seeing as the player used to be an employee, their daughter most likely had toys from his work, which could result her getting bonded to a toy just like the children who were experimented on. Perhaps one day the player brought their daughter to work, where she was then mistaken for one of the children that were supposed to be experimented on and taken away while the player wasn’t looking.

Side theory, huggy wuggy wasn't evil at all, if he has 'maximum obedience' maybe while we were in the build a friend an authority figure he recognises such as 1006 or whoever wrote all the messages telling us to stay away from poppy told him to kill us. So Kissy did not attack us because she was not ordered and recognised us as staff and opened the door

I think Kissy knows that you're there to help them. That's why she does a double take at you. I don't think she's going to go evil. I also believe Huggy was a form of security. If you read the papers on the wall it tells strictly to everyone to NEVER stay after hours.

Timestaps: 0:00 Intro 1:04 The Guardian Theory 4:50 The Perfect Experiment Theory 6:53 The Adult Influence Theory 8:51 Outro

One terrifying thing to note: if they took the time to actually decorate the fscility with a character it means it was at a state of completion to where marketing and sales began to get involved. You have to wonder, if this was the case, how many of these dolls (specifically huggy and kissy) were actually sold and currently remained released into the world? It would likely be a expensive 'rich folk' toy so I could see a subsequent path for the player to hunt down and find these sold toys across a multitude of environments.

I think what Poppy meant by us being perfect, was that she couldn’t lose us. Remember how she promised to help us escape the factory? I believe that was intentional, but after she saw how we defeated Mommy, she viewed us as someone who could not be beat (a “perfect player” I would prefer). So she decided to keep us in the factory and use us for her own intentions, which is still unknown to us

I like the theory that while Huggy Wuggy was made as a security measure for trespassers, Kissy Missy was a security measure to protect workers. Perhaps from violent experiments, maybe as a result of what happened with ex. 1006? This would make sense why, when Huggy first saw you, he didn't think much of you- You were an employee, it's somewhat normal for workers to be there after-hours to do some extra work. However, when you started making a toy, it triggered something in him to realize "Trespasser, I have to do my job". Kissy Missy saw that you were stuck, and decided to help you, because that's her job. I'm not entirely caught up on the timeline, however, so I could be wrong. Would love to hear some theories on this.

2:11 "nobody leaves without a toy" 😬 that's... ominous

for the whole "gradually overtaken by darkness" theory, Huggy Wuggy only gave us the key so that we would get trapped in the innards of the factory so he could more easily kill us

Now, that I've heard that they become even more aggressive around adults, I believe that's why Poppy suddenly changed at the end of chapter 2.

I too like the Presence of Children keeping her in check theory, as well as believing the adult influencer being most accurate! Still, I have one myself: I believe most of the test were actually adults, the children (like you theorized) keeping them in check since they can loose their mind easier. However, Kissy Missy might have been a child test subject, having a purer mind than the others before her (Huggy Wuggy, Mommy, etc.), therefore explaining why she helped us instead of attacking.

I really hope that "darkness" doesn't actually become a thing. It would be so annoying to learn that none of the characters in this game actually have agency. Also, can anyone list even one good thing the researchers did? Most of the evidence for this "darkness" nonsense stems from the fact that the toys killed the researchers, but from what I can tell, they had it coming. Similarly, the "lightness" from interacting with children, seems to be produced by the fact that the kids were actually kind to the toys and not from some supernatural factor.

Kissy Missy sigma grindset: -Walks in -Helps the protagonist -Doesn't explain anything -Leaves

🥰I really like Kissy, she seems fairly innocent and sweet, I will be heartbroken if she does go feral. If she doesn't I hope we get like a boss battle with the prototype but she gets injured but sacrifices herself to help us escape. That's just me though-💔

I personally think all three are correct, and kissy missy just takes much longer for the darkness to reach her, and also that you may have to help her escape the darkness on chapter 3

I think huggy wuggy is also just fine and not violent because he is angry At the start of chapter 1, the first vhs tape is about leith pierre saying that you're trespassing, and that the motion triggers are not the worst security things, and with huggy having maximum abedience, but still agressive to the player, AND you're basically trespassing, i think huggy is a guard of the factory, killing everyone that trespasses or try to break in, because the staff don't want anyone to find out about the orphan expiriments, thats why huggy is so agressive i think, but thats just a theory, a poppy playtime theory

I think they are made to care for children. Since at one part in chapter 2 it says that Mommy Long Legs is aggressive toward staff but nice to kids. Kissy Missy on the other hand might just be made for the sake of being nice. She could’ve been a babysitter in the facility of Playtime Co. Similar to Sundrop in Fnaf.

For the first theory, we do seem to be going to a place called “playcare” next chapter. Maybe this playcare is where Kissy Missy stays with the kids that have kept her from turning evil like the other toys?

Also notice the eyes between ordinary and feral toys. When toys are more friendly, the whites of their eyes are showing and look normal. But when they're hostile, they're eyes are black with little to no whites showing. Idk if this is helpful but it's interesting nonetheless.

Theory: What if kissy was the one who sent the letter? After all she is a child trapped in a toy, it will explain the spelling mistakes. It can’t be poppy who sent us the letter because she was trapped right? Someone must have sent it or at least kissy deliver it.

Interesting theories! Maybe Kissy Missy helped us because she knows we're in danger and is helping us before she goes feral (if she will go feral that is).

Though they're probably dead because of lack of food, if the kids are still alive, we'll probably see them when we explore the playcare in chapter 3

"So sit back, and 'relax'" 8:11

Theory Time (I haven't watched the vid yet) : I think Kissy Missy helped us because unlike Wuggy, she wasn't programmed to attack intruders who trespassed into Restricted Areas. Huggy is very obedient and very violent. He's probably a (child) soul that's trained and conditioned by The Staff to be Their Guard Dog for The Front Gates. Kissy Missy however is abandoned deep inside The Factory. She was probably another child soul who was never programmed to attack intruders and roamed The Underground on her own free will instead. That's why she's able to have sympathy for our character and pulled the switch so that we could progress.

I love Mommy Long Leg’s eyes going from green to complete black when saying “seek” in hide and seek. She really did get consumed by the darkness.

I have a theory. The toys are said to be intelligent and conscious, like a human, and they were by themselves all those years, so they could’ve gone insane from no social interaction except from each other, which would drive anyone to madness.

In response to the third theory, I'd like to point out that Kissy Missy leaves as soon as she's helped us, possibly in an attempt to keep from turning hostile, and in same logic Poppy might become hostile since she was around us a lot and that might be why chapter 2 ended the way it did

My theory: you adopted kissy Missy. The player adopted her, when she was still human I mean. That's why she helped the player. BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY

Just to add on from my last theory. I suspect the prototype is (somehow) sending messages to the remaining employees, tricking them into returning to the factory where it can devour them, or worse... turn them into living toys. It's a long shot, but when you look at what we know, there's certainly a possibility.

My theory is that there's a trigger for each toy besides adult exposure. From what I remember, Huggy doesn't try to attack you immediately and even helps in the beginning until an alarm is sounded signifying danger, which triggers him into the relentless chase. Mommy intended to kill you because of her past with the adult staff who experimented on kids, which I think is her trigger (kinda hinted that the player "worked here" in the experiment rooms of the factory). Maybe she even killed the other toys (PJ Pug-a-piller notwithstanding) because she knows they killed the kids who failed the experiments as well, and she was already angry that they failed to kill you. Experiment 1006 was too intelligent, and my theory is that their trigger was the fact that it was too intelligent and knew the risks associated with it's existence (like Poppy), and wanted to escape and kill all the scientists involved to (and kill or take parts of other experiments to "grow stronger") and prevent further experiments from happening. So maybe we just haven't found Kissy's trigger yet? 🤔

I think the reason Huggy attacked us is because he was obeying orders. Remember in the first tape, Leith Pierre said, "For example, this facility is full of hidden motion triggers which, once set off, will set off the factory's emergency alarms and directly contact the authorities! And that's one of the more tame aspects of our security system. No spoilers..." I think Huggy was part of the security, and was obeying orders.

I think the letter was written by 1006. If he’s so intelligent, he may have tried to learn the English language while still having some minor errors along the way and wrote it to lure someone from the outside to free him again

I have a pretty good theory. In chapter 1, You can see how when you first meet huggy wuggy his arm is fully up. And when he chases you in the vent, he has no problem moving his arms and legs to get around in the vent. And if huggy does have a kid inside him it would make sense why huggy wuggy can lift up his arms with no struggle. But when you meet Kissy Missy shes struggling to pick her arm up and pull the lever. So... Could she not have a human inside of her?

I developed my own wild theory when I watch your playthrough of Poppy Playtime Chapter 2. I call it the 'Cult Theory', in simple terms. Mommy Long Legs and the other experiments are all considered 'obedient' when there's children around but became hostile when adults were around. In the tapes, its mentioned how obedient the Huggys are and how they're intelligent. Mommy Long Legs feared being destroyed by the crusher and begged us, 'don't let me be part of him' (or something close to those lines). I believe the ultimate experiment, Subject 1006, is the true monster and mastermind behind it all. If you think of it like Resident Evil: Village, think of Subject 1006 as Mother Miranda, and the other 'bosses' like Mommy Long Legs (and whoever else we'll be put against in later chapters) as the Lords. I believe that rather than worshipping Subject 1006, however, they all fear him and his power, so they obey whatever he says; this would explain the Huggys, and how they're obeying the rules because they know what their punishment is for disobedience. Becoming part of him. I believe the reason Kissy Missy is not an aggressor and is actually away from the others, hiding in the 'mineshaft' portion of the factory is to hide from Subject 1006. She's smart enough to know to avoid him so she doesn't end up as a pawn like her Huggy brethren. I think when Subject 1006 escaped, he committed the massacre we hear behind the panicked scientist in the first chapter, a threat to the other toys of his capabilities. He commands them and uses them. When they fail to obey, he kills them and uses their bodies to piece together whatever horrifying monstrosity he is.

For the last theory (toys get more unhinged), this may explain why poppy at the end betrayed us. During the ending, she is seen with her pupils dilated. Just like mommy at the end, her pupils were also dilated. This is probably their up most “lowest point of sanity”. So the last theory is probably the most accurate. This maybe also explains why kissy missy leaves us incase she turns hostile.

From what I’ve seen so far, Poppy is basically the “Alice angel” of this game where you do a few errands for her until you find a way to turn against her so that you can leave factory. P.s: Seeing that missy helped the player, I’m guessing she’s the “Boris” of the game.

I love the way she fumbles trying pull the lever, as she is a toy. I don’t know, it just seems so cute to me!

Now I understand what Mommy Long Legs said before the 3rd game. “They would call me mommy because I was the closest thing they’d ever had to one.” The children were orphans.

I feel like a “Programmed Theory” is likely. Huggy Wuggy was clearly meant to be a guard, but his programming had been warped somehow. Mommy Longlegs was programmed to both help with the tests and to play with the children. Her programming, like Huggy Wuggy, was warped so that she has a desire to “play” with us. This is also why she is more sentient than the guard dog Huggy Wuggy. Her sentience also means that she remembers the tests that she went through, and thus wants revenge on the player Kissy Missy helped take care of the children. She was programmed to nurture and help so that is what she does

I keep wondering about the first Huggy that we've met, the one on the entrance. He clearly gave us the key, if he REALLY wanted to kill us he won't be just giving us the key, letting us grab the grab-pack, and the red hand all those sort of thing in the first place. I wonder if he just herding us into the room where Poppy was lock in the cage, to free her. But of course, we dropped boxes on top of him, so he fell... And we don't know the fate of that first Huggy is. I'm wondering if he'll be back as someone who we don't think will turn out to be... As for miss huggy, its very likely that she'll help us throughout the game, but i feel there is something going to happen to her in the late game... You know all of this kind of surprise elements from the beginning of the game until the end...

After thinking about it I think I can piece some things together. I somewhat think there’s little to no difference with Kissy and Huggy. In fact I believe they all follow Prototype. Mommy seemed to be erratic and spontaneous. Prototype would’ve seen her as a threat and sent Kissy to aid you. I was originally thinking Kissy answered to Poppy but she was still being held captive at the time. The one thing that puzzles me is the way she studies you. She freely and obviously acted as if she had a conscience. She acted in a way no other toy has acted so far. While others are straight forward I want to kill you or use you (doubt Poppy ever wanted to help you escape) she studies you and just walks off. But honestly Batman has taught us never trust cute little girls in dresses in a dark situation. She has some truly evil intentions.

7:30 Did anyone else see Huggy’s eyes? It almost looks like human eyes within the dead toy eyes, staring down at the player with terror and hate.

An unused scene shows us that kissy missy at the end gave us a key to the play care center,just like huggy who gave us a key to the poswer room That's sus

“Seemingly free of murderous thoughts.” - 0:32 No, she is free of all thoughts.

i kept waiting to hear anything about why Kissy Missy fails to pull the lever the first time, and how she seems to have very little control of her arms- since they dangle a lot while she moves

3:55 Well shit that's so convincing that it might be the plot twist. However the only problem I see is the fact that those children would starve without a food source to keep their bodies going after water wasn't enough.

"You are about to see the most incredible doll ever invented. Her name is Poppy, and she is the first truly intelligent doll in the world. A little girl can talk to her, Poppy gives her answers. She is the first doll actually able to have a conversation with a child. Hard to believe? Just watch." Group of children; in unison: "Poppy Playtime!" Female narrator "Poppy's as lovable as a real girl, and she talks like one, too!" Poppy: "Hi! My name is Poppy! I love you. Can you help me polish my shoes?" Female narrator: "Why, of course Poppy! Just like a real girl, Poppy always wants to look her best." Poppy: "Perfect! Thank you." Female narrator: "Her hair is sturdy and won't come out when you brush it, and smells just like a poppy flower! Is there anything else you'd like to say, Poppy?" Poppy: "I'm a real girl, just like you." Female narrator: "What's the time?" Group of children; in unison: "Playtime!" Male narrator: "And, if you've ever wanted to see how all of the nation's favourite toys were created, Playtime Co. is now offering factory tours at just $2.99 a person. An entire hour in the most magical toy factory on Earth. What are you waiting for? Come visit the factory! We can't-"

I have a theory as to why the protagonist was contacted now. If the “Kissy Missy has access to orphans” theory is true, then maybe they need to escape because they’re getting older and their ability to pacify the toys is decreasing. As to how they knew who the protagonist was and how to contact him, idk

HOLY.. IS THAT EYES IN EYES STARING AT YOU!? 7:31

I have the feeling the last theory is unlikely. I think Kissy Missy's soul knew what's going on in Playtime Co., but doesn't tell for fear of being kicked out or is banned for life from the place.

I just realized how much Mommy Long Legs seems inspired by Spinel from Steven Universe. The pink coloring, the stretchy arms. Her initial encounter even has her say "A new playmate!"

1:53 Look at the very last line and you can see like the person who wrote the paper their pen has been snatched off them

I believe that before all the workers “disappeared”, the toys rose up in a rebellion and elected a leader, that being exp. 1006 or mommy long legs, but I think it was mommy who led them, and ordered them to kill the employees who experimented on them. However, the only toy that didn’t rise up was kissy, and was just listening to orders given by the employees, that being helping people. I also believe kissy was the only toy experimented on that wasn’t a adult, but child. So she didn’t know if hurting the employees was right, the adults were the other toys and wanted revenge on the people who experimented on them.

interestingly, the two wuggys have sub par dexterity and seem to have ragdoll like arms. when we first meet huggy, its arms are very affected by the movement of its body and only start moving during the vent chase. a similar thing happens with kissy’s arms, and it slips off the lever once before barely being able to turn the switch with the weight of its arm. what do you guys think?

I feel like Kissy may stay as a good guy...I mean wouldn't years of interaction with scientists cause that good and nice act to drop and make her become violent? I think the guardian theory is very likely. Cause if that was the case she would've attacked the player right away, unless themself are a child that got the letter instead of the original worker.

Given that Huggy Wuggy is said to have maximum obedience and is hinted to be serving someone else, I think the same goes of Kissy Missy. I feel like Huggy Wuggy is probably serving The Prototype, and I think it would be a nice narrative parallel if Kissy Missy was serving Poppy

the first theory you made was spot on, and the rest of yours will as well, like the Vanessa and Vanny Twin Sister theory in FNAF SB, that was a spot on theory! You never fail to impress me with your theorys!

First time I saw the scene of Kissy Missy, I immidiately fell in love with her character- Even if it was a short encounter.

You should react and go into the debug mod of Poppy Playtime and see the original voice line Poppy says at the end of the game because what she says gives a lot of information but was removed during launch because they possibly didnt want to tell too much

It could be that as Kissy watched the kids grew up, the soul in her has calmed, and has come to understand that the children grew to adults, and not all of them are evil.

You guys are very invested in character design, look very different in the game, great! 👌👌👌

Honestly, my personal thought on why she is nice to us is because back in the 1904s, there was a lot of sexism. (basically, men were treated 50x better than guys) Back then women were treated like objects/servants and the stereotype goes that "all women must cook and care for the children while the men go out to work and are independent." My theory is that they "taught or programmed" Kissy Missy to be like a Housewife to Huggy wuggy. she was also taught to always be nice to people and stereotyped her, unlike huggy, who could be what he wants. She could only help out and not be a front up mascot, and the company treated her like a spouse Another theory is that in the 1890s, there were women protesting this sexism called feminism, and they wanted both genders to be equal, so much so that Playtime Co. after making Huggy, They wanted Kissy missy to become part of the roster so Playtime Co. Could be seen well in the public's eye/ wanted to support equal rights, therefore created Kissy Missy Feel free to poke at my theory in the comments :)
