#soldier-lings

Inside the Toy Soldier there’s just a series of smaller ones, like a Russian doll. They have progressively higher voices which with the biggest one already being a soprano makes them stray very soon into nightcore territory, and then audible only to dogs. However the rest of the crew finds it extremely unsettling to see all the little ones following the big one single file, so it usually doesn’t let them out, because it’s polite.

Some of the mechs gave nicknames to their soldierlings to keep track of them.

ok but that means that eventually a soldierling would be so small and dense that it would form a black hole

Raphaella sometimes deputizes the soldierlings as lab assistants in her experiments. This does not go well for anyone involved. Raphaella does not learn from her mistakes.

Each of the Soldierlings look up to and mimic a band member. They have a habit of following their prefered band member around like a duckling. Tim, Ashes, Marius and Raphaella love this fact and have taken their Soldieling under their wing. Jonny just shoots his, and was very suprised when his shot him back. Brian and Ivy haven actully noticed theirs.

One time Jonny’s soldierling called him “dad” and Jonny promptly shot it

This is NOT a shitty headcanon HOWEVER: All the soldierlings are trans. All of them. And none of them are the same gender. They also can just sorta. Carve their bodies into their ideal form
