YMMV / Don't Toy With Me

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: Especially when taken out of context, there's Dahlia showing Huxley her bedroom
  • Complete Monster: The Owner created the toys and granted them complete sapience, after which the Owner put them in a dollhouse and started experimenting on them. Making the doll Dahlia their favorite, the Owner brought her gifts and spoiled her, torturing and killing any other doll that irritated Dahlia, essentially corrupting her into a sociopathic, obsessed Control Freak. Killing several sapient dolls this way and reducing one to a pet, the Owner then brought Dahlia her latest "friend" Huxley and then started to "play favourite" with them, either completely abandoning Dahlia in favor of Huxley, which will lead to Dahlia losing her mind and killing him before attempting suicide, or spoiling Dahlia more, which will result in Huxley being tortured, losing his mind, and killing Dahlia. In either case, the Owner, upon seeing the death of either of the two, only gets irritated because they "ruined" the Owner's experiment while remaining completely apathetic to the harm done to the sapient dolls.
  • Diagnosed by the Audience:
    • The owner's manipulations and the long periods of isolation have definitely left Dahlia with some issues. Many fans have also pointed out that she shows multiple symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder.
    • Huxley shows signs of PTSD, like his tenseness and flinching whenever the owner's hands come close, as if he's expecting to be harmed.
  • The Woobie: All of the three toys have shades of this, though Dahlia kind of borders on Jerkass Woobie because of how the owner's actions have warped her.
