#Bonnie is such a well written child character

[heartoftheblackswan]

I just want to say how much I adore the women of One Piece, not just on a ‘holy moly these women are beautiful’ but also on ‘holy moly these women are so well written’

I love how many layers the lady’s have, even those who are not part of the main cast

Nami acting as the brains of the crew, but always being up to scrap with the boys and put them in their place, her fear of trusting and being betrayed being a core aspect of her character. WCI and Wano are pretty recent examples of this, with her anger at Sanji, and her belief in Luffy. I love how confident she is in her self, and how she is a little evil sometimes she’ll use everything at her disposal to get what she wants. How she knows that she’s needed on the crew and without her they would’ve all drowned along ago, and she’s beautiful and cute and she knows this. I hate people thinking that she’s less of a character post timeskip just because of her appearance, she’s so much more than that

Vivi’s love of her people and her country, her worrying nature and her desire for adventure despite her position. Her care for the crew despite the small amount of time she knew them. Also how she’s basically the main character of Alabasta, and how she’s the one saving her country

Robin going from someone who was always looking over her shoulder, always running and never having a real place to call home. To someone who knows she has a family who loves her and will protect her no matter what, and she can be her strange morbid self without judgement (other than from Usopp)

Viola and Rebecca, two ladies forced into a living hell under Dolfamingo. One humiliated by her own people and forced to fight for her life when at heart she just wanted peace, and the other whose soul was almost broken by Doffy but chose to fight against him even if she knew she wouldn’t win. Viola going to stab Doffy even if she knew she would fail shows her strength as she stood up against him even if it could’ve meant death because she wanted to do what she could

And there are so many others that are just as amazing:

- Big Mom: a major villain with a twisted idea of family and love. One of the most powerful pirates in the sea, all this strength but she’s still just someone that was abandoned by the world and became obsessed with filling that void

- Pudding: a woman twisted by the abuse she suffered hating herself and lashing out at others in turn. And how that persona comes crashing down when showed only a bit of kindness

- Boa: the strong powerful empress, who is deeply scarred and can’t show any weakness to her people. And just wants to be loved by someone who sees more than her beauty

-Reiju: the older sister that had to go along with her little brothers abuse, and helped when she could. But only when she couldn’t be the target, she’s flawed and distant but she loves her brother

- Bonny: a literal child who braved the seas to save her father and became one of the most wanted pirates of her generation in under two years, scrappy and tomboyish with a soft heart for her dad

These ladies are living breathing characters! And there are some many others that are just the same, they are all so well developed and different from each other in character. And none of them are just there to be, ‘the girl in the group’ or the ‘love interest’ (though Boa likes Luffy and Pudding likes Sanji neither are their main character traits and have story reasons for being in love)

I love them so much

I love women

Huge analysis about Princess Bubblegum’s morality

I think about this so much, and I need to finally get all my thoughts out. 

So it’s absolutely no secret that PB isn’t a good person to anyone who’s watched even a few episodes of the show. But how far does that go?? 

I do think it’s incredibly interesting that Adventure Time dives into the reality of, if immortals do exist -especially in a post apocalyptic setting like Ooo- that it would be extremely hard for them to be good. Just pure lawful good. Another thing i find interesting is that lawful good doesn’t quite exist in Adventure Time? Even Finn can’t fit in that category which is a conversation for another post. 

I adore the conflict between Phoebe and Bonnie, because it really does show the differences between the two characters. Phoebe is the flame king, who’s symbol is to be evil. The flame kingdom is evil. But she’s not. The candy kingdom is the direct opposite, being sweet and bubbly on the outside, but on the inside...

In The Cooler, Bonnie directly admits to this. “I’m PB. I spy on everybody. No big D.” She knows she’s not the perfect princess on a high pedestal that she put herself on. She is a deeply, deeply, fucked up person.

My good friend pointed something out to me a few months back when we were watching her title episode. Even as a child, she’s very... well...

The use of the word “pliable” stuck out to us because... yeah... what? 

I don’t think Bonnie is evil. I don’t even think she’s a bad person. Adventure Time is very good at depicting evil and showing that evil. The Lich, for example, is the living embodiment of evil. In The Comet, the Catalyst Comet says it embodies all that is good and evil, showing The Lich on screen for that segment, but nothing for the “good” segment which I’ve always found notable. 

This image used for Gumball’s ambitions is also something I don’t think should be brushed under the rug. I know Gumball and Bonnie are very different characters since F&C is opposite not just genderswapped, but I still think it’s of note. 

We see PB grow a lot over the course of the show, but we also see the people around her change their perception of her. Finn is a major example. In the first few seasons, he sees her as this untouchable goddess, but you can see his opinion of her change, especially in seasons 9 and 10. And keep in mind, that it was NOT Finn who stopped PB from going to war. It was Shoko. 

We also see that Marceline has to really keep her in check at times; reminding her to have like... basic empathy 

We know that she isn’t proud of her past, and yet continues to make the same mistakes she made hundreds of years earlier. I love her, she’s probably my favorite character. Not just in Adventure Time, but across like... all media. She’s so interesting and well written and there is SO much to dissect.

 There’s a lot to say about a character who grew up in a nuclear wasteland, literally creating life because she was so lonely. Do morals really have a place in a world so broken and lost to time that humanity does not exist in the same way it did before fallout? Humans exist, sure, but are they human? At the core, are they human?

[eldragon-x]

I said before that I think Bonnie is a well-written child character because they nail the being blunt in an unintentionally funny way aspect but I also think they work well in a lot of other ways.

Something about how a lot of rpgs, especially ones with a younger target audience, have child protagonists because children want to feel capable and be taken seriously and be heroes while Bonnie is just a minor support in ISAT and they feel like the adults around them underestimate them because of this. And sometimes they do! Because people underestimate children sometimes!

Like how Bonnie was told that people frozen in time are sleeping and have nice dreams because their sister was frozen. And they think it's a nice thing to think but make it clear that they know it's not true. And how the adults in the party talk about their theoretical deaths when they think Bonnie's out of earshot but they're still listening in. And It's understandable that the adults around them don't want to upset them or want to ease their worries but they do understand what death (and adjacently, being frozen in time) is.

On the other hand they react the most poorly in Act 5 where all the other characters tell Siffrin outright that they're being an asshole and they don't want to talk to him for a while, Bonnie just cries and yells at him that they hate him and runs away because they're scared and don't know how to deal with the situation. And once the timeloop thing comes out, the way Bonnie comprehends Sif's situation is by comparing it to something that relates to them. They don't really get the timeloop thing but they compare it to "what if you had to go to school everyday and always learn the same subject without rest" and they know Siffrin was sick and tired and sad and Bonnie understands how you can get cranky when you're tired and they remember that time their sister got mad because she was sick. Bonnie is good.

WHAT IS MEMENTO MORI ABOUT?

Memento Mori goes into themes of neurodivergency, loneliness, and the intersection between them as a major thing and arguably the most important underlying plot line underneath your typical FNAF SB plot. At the very least it's important to me.

It takes place in the year 2031, with the PizzaPlex having opened in 2025, two years after a canon-divergent FFPS. It's connected to my currently very under construction humanized FNAF1-FFPS AU, All Those Nights.

It starts off when Vanna, a woman who is tired of being nobody and determined to be remembered, sets her sights on the PizzaPlex to try and cause some loud, flashy tragedy that will make her stick in people's memory. With the help of her girlfriend, Anne, who she's known since she was a child and reunited with as an adult, since Vanna faked her death in her teenage years. Anne has a hatred for people and a disillusionment with the world around her, but also holds a sense of morality she tries to bury.

Vanna could have had some morals, but thanks to her past with street violence, she is very desensitized to her own horrible actions and much more ready to go through with this. She has a playful, friendly demeanor that hides horrendous anger issues caused by emotional dysregulation, buried self-hatred, and a sort of spite towards a world where she never fit in.

So, the PizzaPlex.

Through the course of six months, Vanna and Anne hack the Glamrocks one by one, and kill several people to try and fulfill Vanna's goal.

The events of FNAF SB proper follow primarily Glam as the protagonist, with Vivianne as a sort of second POV, as they try to survive, figure out what's happening, and save everyone, while also trying to find Vivianne's sister, who got stuck here with her.

There's also some side plots! Such as...

-Gala, Monty and Roxy slowly coming to realize that what's going on here isn't what they're being led to believe, only to be fully stripped of their free will to ensure they stay in line, something that happened to Melody a while before the events of the plot.

-Sol's initial attempts to get back to safety when they know everything's dangerous, from which they shift focus upon running into Melody, realizing something's wrong, and trying to find a way to help him.

-Luna being a looming presence through most of these plot lines, being just... different. In reality, it's Vanna keeping things in check, while Luna's stuck in the back of his own body, spectating.

-And Vanna and Anne's attempts to get everything back on track as Vanna starts to lose her temper and speed towards her own doom.

There's some doodle comics about Memento Mori floating around my blog, I may link those later.

WHAT IS SECURITY IS IN PLACE ABOUT?

So this AU started as a "yes, and..." bit with a mutual about a FNAF SB dating sim. It's not actually super romance focused but I'm telling you this because the way the story is set up and stuff like the theming surrounding this AU's Vanny makes more sense in that context.

So, the year is 2005, owing to the timeskip between FNAF1 and FNAF3 being cut some.

The PizzaPlex, opened in 2003, has moved on from the horrors of the past. Or most people think that, anyways. Raglan, a king of coping healthily with grief, pulled a small funny move, and designed nearly all the Glamrocks after people from the past.

Astrifer is designed after Henry Emily.

Noctifer is designed after William Afton.

Taiyo and Tsuki are designed after the Puppet, and, in turn, Charlie Emily.

Sally is designed after Susie Beck.

Rox is designed after the Mangle.

Stellifer is exempt from this and an outlier in that. He probably was just bought from a different location and redesigned a bit.

Most people don't notice, or don't care enough to think too hard about it.

Valentine Lovett, the now adult younger sister of Susie Beck, isn't most people.

Valentine is a very sweet and cheerful woman who keeps up such a sickeningly pretty, lovely appearance. In actuality, she is a very disturbed individual whose life was ruined by her sister's death, as her parents couldn't cope with it and traumatized her even further by projecting Susie on her.

Valentine is someone incredibly obsessive and who struggles to come to terms with reality, and she sees the Glamrocks as a revival of people who should have stayed dead. So she's decided she's gonna be the one to make them truly gone. She's also a terrifyingly skilled stalker.

The story is divided into several "routes", with highly differing story lines. However, each character has their route jointed with another, and while the character you pick will mostly be the focus, the events will follow a roughly similar progression for both of those characters.

So, routes:

NIGHT GUARD: Astrifer - Nessa (Hacked: Noctifer, Tsuki)

STAGE CREW: Noctifer - Stellifer (Hacked: The opposite of who you pick. If you pick Noctifer, Stellifer will get hacked, and viceversa)

KITCHEN: Sally - Rox (Hacked: Rox)

DAYCARE: Tsuki - Taiyo (Hacked: Tsuki)

HEARTBREAKER: Valentine (Hacked: Noctifer, Tsuki, Rox, Stellifer, Sally)

ABOUT THE HEARTBREAKER ROUTE...

It is possible to choose Valentine within the story of SiiP. A sort of New Game+ possibility where Bernadette has the chance to meet Valentine early and bond with her first.

This isn't an "I can fix her" story path, however, it's a "She will make you worse" one.

Bernadette is someone who would very much do anything for a person they care about. At the beginning here, when they heard of Valentine's motivations, they thought she had a bit of a point.

So, they decided to help her.

I typically dub this story path's Bernadette either Darling or Heartbreaker, and the story follows their plunge into a full-on corruption arc that lands them as a true, full villain by the end of it, perhaps to an even greater degree than Valentine.

They carefully work their way into ensuring they don't get attached to anyone other than Valentine, manipulate the characters they normally would have bonded with and make them believe they're their friend, ready, at any time needed, to betray each and every one of them for their own gain.

Darling started out not as certain of this, but slowly came to realize they enjoy the thrill of being in control, and started to become a cruel, malicious and silver-tongued person. They still love Valentine deeply, but it's hard for them to truly extend that care to anyone else.

They become the closest SiiP has to a Mimic variant, and this story path leads to SiiP's own version of Security Breach within lore, which would be a lot more focused on mind games and the fear of not knowing who or what you can trust.

There's a Ruin DLC side AU spanning off of it too, but that's in the works.

[cancerian-woman]

NO BECAUSE WITH THE WAY BONNIE, TYLER, AND ENZO WERE WRITTEN, I’M ACTUALLY STUNNED AT HOW RACIST JULIE PLEC IS.

Like Michael Trevino is a non white fully Mexican man, Kat is a white Jewish/African American woman, and Michael Malarkey is a mixed man with Palestinian/Lebanese (Arab) heritage… what do Enzo, Tyler, and Bonnie have in common? LAZY AND/OR BAD WRITING. Enzo, like Bonnie and Tyler, had a compelling character and personality and storyline potential, but noooooo. Even if he wasn’t the most compelling love interest for Bonnie (which I also think was lazy writing), HE WAS DONE WRONG. THERE COULDVE BEEN MORE DONE WITH HIM.

Even in TO, POC aren’t done well. While POC are done better in TO than TVD, I don’t like how they did Marcel. Nope. I ain’t with the Marbekah train, and the Mikaelsons vilified that man when he was right about A LOT of things. AND THEY STAYED AT THE SAME HOUSE THAT HE WAS A SLAVE AT. THAT SHIT WAS WEIRD. But yeah, they made it very clear that it didn’t matter how close to the family Marcel was, he was never one of them. And maybe I’m reaching, but it reminds me of how in some white families that adopt black kids, they treat the black kid completely different than their biological children and I don’t like those undertones… but maybe it’s just me overthinking. And the thing is, she didn’t HAVE to write the Mikaelsons like that. Plec could’ve emphasised the family bond that the mikaelsons had with Marcel and how much it hurts for both Klaus and Marcel to be at odds with one another, but noooooo. They treated Marcel like that one “problem child” that’s iced out of the family.

But the racism carries on into Legacies because you cannot TELL ME that Alaric of all fucking individuals had a more compelling storyline than MG or RAF.

Not even in Legacies but in TVD, but remember Sarah Salvatore? The black Salvatore? SHE WAS DONE WRONG. COULD’VE HAD A GOOD STORYLINE.

Like people seem to think that the racism was only with Kat (and to be fair, she’s one of the only ones who has been outspoken about the racism), but as I look back at the TVDU more, it’s actually worse than I thought.

Vincent, Marcel, Bonnie, Tyler, Enzo, I’m definitely forgetting some, but the list goes on and on and on.

You summed everything perfectly tbh.

Yeah, Kat wasn’t the only one. Bonnie fans were rallying for years when the show aired and stopped airing. So that voice of fans naturally seems louder.

thank you for the ask💜!

#dria responds #tag later #tbh those viral tweets + videos etc etc is why i think legofseas chars got safer endings tbh. #never a real push like the yts but most of them lived not many in t v d can say that. #and it was barely anybody but yt ppl in the baby plot show so. #anti tvd #anti the vampire diaries

The Freddy & Friends Askbox is now open!

——————————————

An introduction to Freddy & Friends:

Freddy & Friends is an AU created by Roux36 Productions set in the Five Nights at Freddy’s IP.

As opposed to focusing on a single “what if?” question for the AU, F&F is a rewrite of the FNAF story in its entirety, constructed from the ground-up to tell a more realistic, character-driven take on the original story.

——————————————

What asks will I answer? (Examples provided)

Lore (Ex: How do the spirits work?)

World-Building (Ex: Who made the pizza recipes at Freddy’s)

Headcanons (Ex: Who’s Jeremy’s favorite music artist?)

Art requests? (Not sure about this one yet… but maybe?)

Character Asks!

Ask a question from within the Freddy & Friends universe, and it’ll be answered by the creator of the Fazbear Franchise, HENRY ███!!!

(Preface by saying “Dear Henry,”)

Click the keep reading to learn more about the Freddy & Friends AU! >>>

——————————————

How much thought did you put into this?

It’s not that I’m a massive nerd, but it’s just that I’m actually a massive nerd.

Animatronics are loosely grounded in real-world mechanical engineering, giving them plausible designs for them to have existed in the 1980’s (down to the very components that make them function.)

The restaurant itself has regulations and procedures to manage the animatronics during the day (this varies depending on the restaurant).

The restaurant layouts themselves have been redesigned to be more coherent with the rules of architecture.

The animatronic characters themselves have their own lore and personalities within the cartoon world.

I have a full list of employees who worked at both Afton Robotics and Fazbear Entertainment.

The rules of the spirits are grounded in real-world cultural beliefs, as well as typical ghost hunting traditions.

No character is written to be two-dimensional. The characters don’t just do stuff for the plot; they do them because it’s in-character for them to do so. They’re not just ghost children haunting the animatronics. They’re also human.

———————————————

What IS canon?

Basic media taken into consideration:

Five Nights at Freddy’s

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2

Five Nights at Freddy’s 3

Five Nights at Freddy’s 4

Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Silver Eyes

FNAF World (Surprisingly)

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location

Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Movie

Details Only taken from:

Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach

The ideas of these media are the content detrimental to the story of Freddy & Friends. However, the story of them has been changed so drastically that canon knowledge is considered unreliable when talking about the Freddy & Friends AU. Some things remain the same, but it’s recommended that knowledge of canon game/book/movie events NOT be used as a reference unless I have stated otherwise.

What’s the same?:

Mike Schmidt and Abby Schmidt’s character have remained almost exactly the same as in the movie. (Movie)

Michael Brooks is Golden Freddy (Novels)

Elizabeth Afton being killed by Circus Baby (Games)

The Bite of ‘83 (Games)

The Bite of ‘87 (Games)

Bonnie is blue

What’s changed?:

Note: not all changes will be mentioned here, due to spoilers. The reason they’re spoilers is because I will elaborate on them in future media and short stories.

Michael Afton does NOT exist—replaced by Fritz Afton

FNAF 4 Crying Child becomes the Puppet

FNAF 4 Bullies are the Missing Children

FNAF 4 Bullies are NOT bullies

The haunted animatronics have personalities, and are capable of verbal speech.

Sammy (Charlie’s twin brother) was killed instead of Charlie

Charlie is NOT an android

Very few employees (including night guards) actually died at Freddy’s

The animatronics are limited by the technology of the 1980’s, and therefore have software limitations that aren’t present in the games

Circus Baby’s Pizza World has been renamed to Circus Kingdom Pizza World

The names of the Funtimes have been changed to align with the re-theme

The Funtimes were NOT built with the intention of kidnapping children

The Funtimes are haunted

The Scooper does not exist

The FNAF 4 gameplay is a dream, and not child experimentation. (It is something more than that, but I will not elaborate further, due to spoilers. ;))

The Toy animatronics have been renamed to the Junior animatronics

The Junior location is Freddy Jr’s Pizzeria

The individual Junior characters have in-universe names beyond “Junior Freddy” and “Junior Bonnie”, etc.

The Juniors are haunted

There is no such thing as “Remnant”.

Vanessa Shelly is NOT William Afton’s Daughter

Steve Raglan and William Afton are two different people

Removed Herobrine

(Aforementioned name changes):

Circus Baby - Circus Sadie, AKA Sadie the Circus Princess

Funtime Freddy - Freddie the Ringmaster

Funtime Foxy - Foxy the Flying Fox

Toy Freddy - Freddy Fazbear Jr.

Toy Bonnie - Riley Rabbit

Toy Chica - Penny Pecks

Toy Foxy/Mangle - Bridget the Fox

——————————————

Thank you!

If you made it to the end, I wanna thank you for showing interest in this AU! I’ve been working on it ever since I was 11 years old, and I’ve just turned 20. It's been a long road with at least five rewrites and twice as many redesigns!

More Freddy & Friends content will be coming soon, in the form of:

A webcomic for the main narrative

Cinematic content

A VHS series

Short stories

Audiobooks for said short stories

A website to be!

The askbox is now open! There is much to tell, so ask away!

[corruwuption]

i am gnawing through the bars of my enclosure of the themes of co-dependency, independence, and destruction in Fionna and Cake.

the most obvious case of co-dependency, further established by E8, is simon and betty. they love each other more than anything, and in the end, the thing that ultimately separated them was the drive to find each other. that's been established since the original series and starting in E2.

but we see characters cling to each other:

Simon and Betty

Finn and Jake

Farmworld Finn and his deceased wife (he's kept the soup going; you could also argue younger Farmworld Finn and the crown)

Little Destiny and Jay

Prismo and Jake

Simon and child!Marceline

Fionna and Cake

hell, even to some extent, the Lich and BMO. (there are plenty of robots -- including NEPTR -- in Adventure Time, but the Lich spared BMO, and we know BMO cares about "Jerry")

and it's all different. sometimes romantic, sometimes familial, sometimes platonic. but they cling together, and disaster (and often self-destructive behavior) ensues if they split.

And that makes the thread of Marceline and PB/ Marshall Lee and Gary so, so interesting to me. In prime world and confirmed in Distant Lands, Marceline and PB are both highly independent people. Throughout the series, they became friends again and learned to push their own boundaries, learned to make room in their lives for another person.

sure, bonnie had neddy, and marceline had simon, but that both of those relationships are from when they were children.

and then, they re-established communication for finn. and by the time of fionna and cake, they're trying to get matching tattoos, when they weren't even on speaking terms of S2 of the main series.

then, too, we have marshall lee and gary. we saw a little bit in "bad little boy," but that was written by marceline. and in the fionna and cake series, they don't know each other, but they are both immediately introduced with their own goals and ambitions. catch marshall on the corner singing. gary has made a new cookie for fionna to try.

and by E7, gary and marshall lee established their growth, their pursuit of the unknown, with a kiss, as bonnie and marceline fell to the unknown, intertwined, setting their fates to come.

i am curious what's going to happen to Fionna and Cake, as well as with Simon and Betty. while i'd bank that simon and betty's story largely closes on a bittersweet note of love and understanding, Fionna and Cake are... different.

Finn is grieving over Jake as we see him in Fionna and Cake, and we're introduced to Fionna in her world by her fretting over Cake. But as of E8, Fionna's at an impasse: She doesn't want Simon to end up as Ice King, but Simon has to be magic for Cake to exist as, well, Cake.

at this point, i'm wondering if fionna and cake part ways: fionna goes back to their normal world, and cake is somewhere magical, likely with some way to keep in contact. (maybe via prismo?)

but... i'm excited to see. this series has been lovely so far. i hope it gets picked up for another season.

[dana-chan-the-control-brain]

Why IS Chica the best glamrock animatronic?

Chica is the best: Sorry Roxy.

I find Glamrock Chica the most developed of the Glamrocks within the confines of the canon. Just because in her little screentime she has more defining traits then just food. (But I can see why people meme on her being a complete garbage chicken etc)

You might think Roxy is the "most developed" cause she cries and we actually have sympathy for her. And she does have a few faucets here and there like her jumping on the racetrack and a distinct mean girl personality.

But for me personally, having self confidence issues/mental illness is not the same as a well written character and having a personality. (Sorry Daycare Attendent. You are far more developed by the fans give you credit for. )

(granted I love Roxanne I relate to her and she used to be my favorite Glamrock first and we'll get a lot of scenes with her in Lofi later)

All we know about Monty is that he's violent and cool and possibly murdered Bonnie, or at least took the fall for it, and wants to usurp Freddy. And uses his claws to deal damage. (And this is canon text. Not anything the voice actor said)

So where does that place Chica?

Well, like the Chica's before her, she has a problem with food. More specifically, eating things she shouldn't. Like garbage and the like. But mostly her obsession with Pizza.

Her obsession with the Monty Mystery mix has caused her damage with the trash compactor before.

So yeah, garbage chicken likes garbage....

And I can get why she gets relegated to memes of "PIZZA!!!" and junk. (And I enjoy them fjfhhfh)

But that's just not it.

She seems to be the only Glamrock who is dedicated to the band souly for the sake of the music.

Monty is obviously in it for fame.

Roxy wants adoration.

Freddy is just happy to play with his friends.

But Chica is in it for the music.

(I feel this is an intentional aspect of their design from Fazbear Entertainment. To give an impression of a real band drama dynamics)

But when Chica isn't sneaking out to get garbage, she is practicing religiously.

Jamming out for the sake of it. Honing her skills. Even in the opening cutscene in the game, she is stretching her fingers right before they go on stage. And she looks the most intense out of all the Glamrocks. While everyone else is smiling and excited to go on stage, she's the only one who isn't smiling, and has an intense look about her. She only starts smiling and having a good time when the performance begins.

She's 100% focused to give a good performance and show.

And the in-game texts suggest that she used to sing in performances alongside Freddy before she got her voice box upgrade which prevented her from singing without damaging guests ears.

Her dedicated area of the Plex is Mazercise. Which encourages kids to be fit (but she probably gets a lot of mom's there. Kids run through the maze like crazy kids while parents actually do a jazzercise routine) while promoting hydration with the smoothie bar and food. It's honestly a stupid but brilliant marking ploy.

But Chica's Glamrock outfit does look like an 80s leotard, which gives me the impression that she leads Mazercise activities and takes it very seriously.

However, this is just speculation. But it is worth noting that Roxy isn't dressed like a Racer, and Monty isn't dressed like a golfer, and Freddy isn't dressed like he's down for lazertag/fazerblast at all times. (So when I see Glamrock Bonnie designs that look like he's always in the bowling alley. I bite. Lol)

The Daycare Attendent is the only acception. Looking like a clown meant to be entertaining to young children. (In theory)

So Chica looking like an 80s workout video is really a core aspect to her and part of her design.

Chica takes her job as a musician and fitness instructor VERY seriously but that isn't really all.

She's the only one of the Glamrocks when possessed, still seems sweet and compassionate.

Always asking if she can take the lost child to their parents and offering candy.

Granted, it also serves as a double edged sword and is meant to be intentionally creepy.

The lines she feeds are the exact kind of stuff that kidnappers say to their victims like "your parents want you to follow me"

Which is meant to be creepy and off-putting. Even being the only Glamrock to call for Gregory's name.

However while the other Glamrocks have the generic "I can help" and Roxanne occasionally asks "are you lost?" And "are you hungry"

Roxy seems to be self obsessed with catching the kid. Constantly claiming her own praises and crying constantly when she gets shattered. (Hhm almost like the virus exploits people's weaknesses. Almost like she feels she can prove her self worth if she finds greggors)

Also gives the impression of someone who doesn't know what to do with a lost kid. Like "are you hungry? Kids eat, right?" She can also say some mean stuff about the kid being worthless and not having friends. (She was meant to appeal to teenage girls so I get it but ouch)

Monty's dialogue just adds to his character about being a big dumb brute but seems a bit impersonal with the kid like "Yo kid, why you gotta be like this bro" and tends to have no additional voice lines when he's shattered. Just screaming in pain (which is horrible but tragic from a character standpoint cus if you take Monty's claws you lose all personality dialogue you had)

I just find Chica's methods of reaching out to a lost child being sincere if she wasn't corrupted.

She wants to take them to their parents, give them snacks to calm them down (she loves pizza and food and it works for her) and even calls out to others about there being a lost child.

Even when shattered and she loses her ability to speak, Chica makes a variety of noises. She's still trying to talk to you.

I also find Chica's death the most tragic. Roxy and Monty you can almost say got hubris. Like arrogance and pride. But Chica just wanted to eat garbage, and the look on her face as she tries to get out and struggles always get me.

So to recap.

Chica adores her guitar and is in it for the music. And spends a lot of time practicing even if she's a robot and doesn't need to.

She takes Mazercise seriously (implied from her design)

She loves the children genuinely and not just for fame reasons or adoration like Roxy. I theorize she might be the least popular cause she's not Freddy or one of the new ones.

What you rather have at your birthday party? A chicken who likes food, or an Alligator with an attitude problem or a beautiful confident and cool wolf, or Freddy Fazbear himself?

She is just very sweet and genuine, even from what the canon text implies and has enough different traits about her that make her come together for me.

It's not just Food and garbage.

Just part of it.

And I love all the Glamrocks and they all have something like "you think they're like this but they're really like this"

But I think the difference for me is that Chica's vice doesn't connect to her performance at all.

She eats garbage, loves food, loves music loves kids.

Monty wants to be famous and is destructive and is a little bit of an idiot and the most difficult Glamrock to deal with but we don't know anything else about him other than that.

Roxy stops other racers from winning other than her, is very boastful and needs to talk herself up constantly and feels like a loser when one little thing goes wrong for her.

Freddy is kind and warm hearted to kids and protects Gregory with his life. But often has a lot of exestential dialogue throughout the game and doesn't seem to be okay. Despite Freddy being the character who talks the most, all his dialogue is basically "go here and do the thing. It is a videogame Gregory." With very small bits of personality and it's pretty straight forward (either that or he acts suspicious for no reason. Which alludes to the scraped Dialogue where he was originally going to get corrupted and hunt down Gregory too)

Anyways. I love all the Glamrocks.

I just think Chica is the best and deserves the world.

DNI: TVD Edition

You think that Klaroline was the healthiest and most well-written relationship on the show

You think that Matt Donovan was the worst and most annoying character on the show

You say that Bonnie Bennett was unfairly treated but then have the audacity to say that Elena Gilbert, Katherine Pierce, Vicki Donovan and Hayley Marshall weren’t done dirty at all and deserved everything they got

Jeremy Gilbert was genuinely your favourite character

You think that Elijah Mikaelson was a noble and moral person just because he wears suits and talks down to anyone who doesn’t share his blood

You thought that Damon Salvatore’s horrible actions were justified because he stalked and obsessed over a girl who was clearly into his brother

You think that the Mikaelson’s ( mainly Klaus and Elijah’s ) cruelty was completely fine because they pUt FaMiLy fIrSt, when they constantly daggered each other and had an unhealthy obsession with their technically teenage sister’s love life

You think that Vicki Donovan, an extremely troubled young girl with bad family issues and a drug problem, deserved to die at the hands of a 160 year old monster because you found her problems annoying

You don’t think that Katherine Pierce deserved any sympathy, despite her enduring a borderline abusive father, having her child ripped away from her, being banished and sent to an unfamiliar country in disgrace, being taken advantage of by two men who then tried to murder her, having to be on the run for hundreds of years, falling in love with a man who she had to leave, being captured by hunters, having the man who once loved her fall in love with her doppelgänger, having the cure shoved down her throat, being hunted by a 2000 year old psycho, start the agonising process of quick aging, becoming suicidal and trying to jump off a clock tower, having her daughter die in her arms, going to hell whilst Klaus Mikaelson went to heaven and never having anyone truly care about her for an extended period of time unless they wanted to get in bed with her

You hate Elena Gilbert but stan one or both of the Salvatore brothers and/or Caroline Forbes

You think that Rebekah Mikaelson was whiny for wanting love outside of her toxic ass family

You think that post s4 Elena Gilbert was better than s1-s3 Elena Gilbert

You can’t tell the difference between disliking Tyler Lockwood because of his often pig-headed personality but still sympathising with him due to Klaus’ mistreatment of him and believing that his character had no flaws and that Forwood was a great ship with no issues whatsoever.

Hope you agree with at least some of these opinions, might do a part 2 as I have many more views on tvd.

[star-going-supernova]

well um, hello hello! I was scrounging around the fic recs for fnaf and I stumbled upon your post back in 2022 where you had recommended a bunch of older fnaf fics with mike Schmidt and that inspired me to read some of them (current rereading the upon series)

Y’know I read the upon series in 2021 for the first time and revisited it a few times through the last wow, it’s almost three years now? It wasn’t until you stress that there was a character named Mark Pliers when I realized dhbdbdjajs that was golden

I’m planning on revisiting k(night) guard and start reading good as gold + unexpected attachments

my memory is rather poor so I feel like i already read good as gold/unexpected attachment but I can’t quite put a finger on it and I can’t really remember much of anything of k(night) guard but I try to see it as an opportunity to re-experience these guys

If you have recommendations for some more older fnaf fics (or Sb fics!! I haven’t touch that side of fnaf ever since DeeplyJuniper’s and Glitched_And_Unnamed’s Visions (or lack thereof) fic)

that is all !! Bye bye!!

Hello hello, friend! I'm glad my fic recs vibed with you! I have an extremely deep fondness for old fnaf fanon (if that rec list didn't make that obvious) and I'm happy to share some more with you!

Disclaimer once again: these are old and canon has changed massively since these were written, meaning these all feature fanon Mike Schmidt. Secondly, it's been a long time since I've read these, so I may not be remembering them completely accurately, lol.

• After Hours — A classic, and it's been long enough that I barely remember it other than I enjoyed it and I think it made me cry at the end?

• In the Flesh — A fascinating take on what being stuffed in a suit does to a person. Interesting relationships across the fnaf 1 and 2 animatronics, iirc. Angsty too, but in a fun way. (Features Mike/Bonnie)

• Metal Guardians — An actually pretty sweet, uncomplicated story. The animatronics don't really talk in this one, and it's pretty tame for fnaf. There is a past child death (via cancer) that's brought up a few times, tho.

• Overheated — This is a cute two-shot about the animatronics mistaking Mike as just a different sort of animatronic, and he's like *sweating nervously* "yeah... that's right." This author has a few other similar fnaf fics, wherein Mike needs a hug and for better or worse gets one from the animatronics.

It's not a long list, partially because I'm a picky reader, lol, and partially because a few really good ones I remember seem to have been deleted. And unfortunately, I can't really offer any SB fics because I don't really read SB fics.

My Top 5 Male TVDU Characters

It took me a while, but since I did my top 5 female TVDU characters a little while ago, here’s my top 5 boys. *While number 1 & 2 are pretty locked in, the other characters do shift around in my ranking some times*

NUMBER 5 - MARCEL GERARD

Marcel is one of the most well adjusted vampires in the whole TVD universe (TVD, TO & Legacies). It’s like he was born to become a vampire. While he’s definitely done bad things (as all vampires have), he has a good heart. Despite being a vampire, he still has some morals and rules he abides to, such as his rule to not hurt kids. He can be kind and charming, while also being harsh enough to take down people who threaten him. And unlike a lot of other vamps, his kindness can actually be genuine. Personally, I would’ve liked to see the writers use him more and give him better storylines in the later seasons of The Originals, but that’s just one of my many issues with the writers/showrunners 👀

NUMBER 4 - STEFAN SALVATORE

I loved watching Stefan’s whole ripper arc; seeing him struggle with that dark side of himself, and all the while, just wanting to be good. Ngl, he had a tough time throughout the show. The writers loved throwing trauma at him. From being manipulated by Katherine, being kidnapped and used by Klaus, losing Elena to his own brother, finding out that he lost a child with Valerie when he was human, and then dying on his own wedding day; this man did not catch a break. That being said, he was a caring, (mostly) selfless person, and he deserved better. Paul Wesley killed this role.

NUMBER 3 - DAMON SALVATORE

I know some people won’t like that Damon is higher in my ranking than Stefan, but it’s only by a small margin. The Salvatore brothers were kind of neck and neck for me in my ranking for a while, but what made Damon just get ahead? His humour. That was one of his redeeming features. I always enjoyed his one liners and jokes. He didn’t always take everything seriously. Did he do terrible things to other characters? Yeah, I don’t deny that. I feel like Damon is one of the few vampires, especially in season 1, to show the lack of morality and humanity that vampires have, which I think is important because let’s be honest, vampires are not supposed to be cuddly, sweet angels. For the most part, Damon is not a nice person, but when he cares about someone (Elena & later Bonnie for example), he tries to be better. He doesn’t always succeed. He fails a lot in fact, but he keeps trying.

NUMBER 2 - ELIJAH MIKAELSON

His entrance into TVD is one of my highlights from the entire show. He had me on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what he did next in season 2 of TVD. I loved watching the juxtaposition between him being the honourable gentleman, and the vampire within that contained the horrors behind the red door. Watching him put down his enemies with his sassy, yet classy comebacks was always funny. All of his romances were great (Daniel gillies could have chemistry with a tree). A lot of his scenes with Klaus in The Originals were particularly good; not just because of the wonderful acting, but also because watching their complex relationship, full of love and resentment, play out on screen was entertaining. My eyes were glued to the screen whenever he appeared in TVD.

NUMBER 1 - KLAUS MIKAELSON

My all time favourite character in the whole TVDU. Klaus was one of the few characters who was well written, had consistent characterisation (his personality/hopes didn’t randomly change between TVD & TO like certain others 👀), and went through some decent development over the seasons. I adored his scenes. If there’s one thing I love, it’s complicated villain characters and Klaus fit the bill. I think a big reason why I love this character so much is because he was played so wonderfully by Joseph Morgan. And while he is my fav, I don’t deny that Klaus did awful things constantly, some times for no reason other than he was bored or being petty. He WAS a villain. That being said, even when he was doing bad things, I couldn’t help being interested in his character and enjoying the drama of it all.

[fairytaleslive]

What are your top 12 favorite fairy tale princesses/heroines?

@ariel-seagull-wings Thank you for this question! <3

I admit that this was harder to narrow down than I thought and I am sure that tommorow I'll remember some childhood favorite that I forgot to mention, but here I go:

1) Kate Crackernuts She is the "less bonny" sister who runs away from home, visits the fairy kingdom like it's nothing, single-handedly saves her sister and saves her Prince. This girl has done it all. I wish there were more adaptations though. The Czech one from 1993 is decent but it focuses more on the love story between Anne and the young king, so Kate doesn't have as much space as I would prefer. And with the book retellings being on the rise in the past years, I am surprised that no-one dared to tackle this story…. (there is a book by Katharine Mary Briggs, I've tried to read it but the language-wise it's a very difficult and frankly, boring read)

2) Allerleirauh I love nearly all variants of this tale, be it German Allerleirauh, English Cap-o'-Rushes, Catskin or Czech Princess With the Golden Star. I definitely prefer versions that go with forced marriage to an evil king, rather than to the Princess's own father and many of my favorite adaptations choose this path as well, be it Russian "Donkeyskin" (1982), Czech "Princess With the Golden Star" (1959) or Czech "You're a Princess, Láďa!" (1979) - which is a more comedic version where the Princess crossdresses as a boy and becomes a kitchen helper.

3) The girl (Bohdanka) from The Seven Ravens I like The Wild Swans and The Six Swans variants just as well, but I very much prefer the Czech version where the siblings are not royal and Bohdanka only becomes a Princess by marrying the young king. I love the 2015 Czech adaptation (Netflix), the 1993 is a bit too dramatic for my taste and takes the spotlight from the heroine which I think is a shame. Märchenperlen's The Six Swans from 2012 was on the other hand very well done, with the story concentrated on the bond between the siblings and the love between the girl and the King, as it should be.

4) Cinderella She was my favorite when I was a child and I always enjoyed Němcová's version* which is actually similar to French "Finette Cendron" and has Cinderella killing ogres before the whole shenanigans with balls and slippers even start. *Božena Němcová (1820–1862) was a Czech collector of folk fairytales I need to talk about my favorite adaptations some other time because this post is already getting way too long :).

5) The heroine from East of the Sun and West of the Moon As with Allerleirauh, I like all the variants of this tale I've read so far, I love how it gender reverses the usual trope and it's the heroine who sets off to save her lover who is, for the most part, more of a passive character (ok, special shout out to Black Bull of Norroway, who literally slays a devil/dragon)

6) The Princess from "Fearless Mikesh" Doesn't matter if we're speaking of the written tale by Němcová or one of its film adaptations, such as The Brave Blacksmith (1983) or Fearless (1988), the core story is the same: a young man sets off to learn how to fear and decides to find a kidnapped and/or enchanted princess that disappeared from her kingdom. The princess secretly helps him on his way, often in different forms (as a fox dwarf or an old hag), to test his skills and to lead him to the magician who cursed her. (cool girl, shapeshifting powers probably borrowed from the evil wizard who kidnapped her, helps the hero to save the day)

7) Růženka (Rose) from "The speaking bird, the water of life and the three golden apples" by Božena Němcová (gets magical objects, saves her brothers, resurrects her mother, reunites her parents and calls it a day) Recently a variant of this tale was adapted by Sechs auf einen Streich series: Three Royal Children/Die drei Königskinder from 2019.

8) The Peasant's Wise Daughter from the fairytale of the same name (outwits the king, fights for justice for the lower class)

9) The Princess from The King of Seven Veils ("Il Re dei Sette Veli", collected by Antonio de Nino) It's kinda like gender swapped King Thrushbeard or Němcová's Punished Pride: instead of a proud princess refusing a perfectly nice king, here we have a beautiful but vain king who refuses a lovely princess. And she does what any other girl in her position would do: sets off to the world with a regiment of soldiers (they always come in handy), in one kingdom she saves a princess, in another she saves a queen, before finally arriving the the land of the King of Seven Veils. He falls in love with her and she embroiders his veils with a picture of a monk and a nun (because he said he won't marry her unless he becomes a monk and she becomes a nun), but he doesn't take a hint, so she leaves him an actual written note and returns to her kingdom, so he can pursue her :D. I just had to include at least one Italian fairytale, I love how active the heroines in Italian fairytales are, many of them just literally go around the world and save random people before returning home/finding true love for themselves. And I love this one especially because it was loosely adapted as a Czech 1999 TV fairytale film "The Princess of Rimini" which I adore to bits <3

10) The Frog Princess/Vasilisa the Wise While the Princess from Fearless has magic because of her curse, Vasilisa seems to have magic independent of Koschei's powers. And I am always here for witch-princesses, we need more of them in our fairytales. Shout out to Mila Sivatskaya as Vasilisa the Wise in The Last Warrior (2017) who is literally a kick-ass apprentice of Baba Yaga in this adaptation.

11) Beauty from Beauty and the Beast No, it wouldn't be fair to omit "Belle" whom I loved from Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's version even before I've seen the timeless Disney movie.

12) Princess Desirée from The White Doe/The Doe in the Woods by Madame d'Aulnoy She is not a particularly active character which might make her a strange choice among the others I named, but I was always fascinated by her curiosity of the outside world and later by her free life in the woods where she's a doe during the day and a human by night. As a child, I thought it was a cool deal and I was disappointed when she got "saved" by the Prince and left the woods where she's been so happy.

Honorable mentions: Fanta-Ghirò the Beautiful, Molly Whuppie, Sorfarina, Janet from Tamlin, youngest princess from Salt Above Gold, Tatterhood…

[dish-licker]

Gregory is an endoskeleton inside a human body + Bonnie is Gregory

There are two parts to this theory. First is the existence of an endoskeleton trained to become Crying Child, and that Gregory is that endoskeleton inside a human boy’s corpse. The second part is that the same endoskeleton used to be Bonnie before Montgomery Gator destroyed him.

I’ll start with the endo part and end with the possible Bonnie addition.

The endoskeletons in Security Breach grow up like children. Rather than being programmed to behave a certain way, they’re taught in a warehouse that resembles a preschool. Endo education is also displayed in a Help Wanted 2 mini game.

Two rooms in the Pizzaplex are explained by this theory. One is the room with all the papers that seem to be written by a robot gaining sentience + the staff bots dressed to look like the Afton family. An endo who is being trained to become Crying Child would have been taught a room just like this.

The other room is the replica of Michael Afton’s room from fnaf Sister Location. (Which seems to be the Afton’s living room, where all of the Afton children grew up?) Another place where an endo could learn to be Crying Child. The code from the wall in that room:

"Break and mend, I built the breath. They hunt now, drawn to life. Not Real, still keen. And Frit and Fraught with thought and zest and gest no blunt woes. Dodge, duck, flash, shoot, crawl, run, crush the vile band. Cry not, try not, do not hold out, hope no. Your life, your aim will save those with soul.”

I believe this message is from David, the remaining good part of the Storyteller/mimic, since it's written in his and Edwin's secret language. The message is for Gregory and could be interpreted as telling him to not hold out hope for himself, but his life can be worth something if he aims to save those with soul.

The final Tales from the Pizzaplex book features a story where an endoskeleton climbs inside a human, in addition to the ongoing epilogue, where the mimic endo has done the same thing. This also happens in Sister Location when Michael is scooped and filled with Ennard. Personally, I think this is emphasized so frequently because they're trying to remind people that a robot stuffed inside a human body is just as possible as a human body stuffed into a robot in the fnaf canon.

Some evidence indicates that Gregory could be a robot, like his vision glitching around Vanny and Freddy’s ‘you look different to me’ line after he gets Roxy's eyes. This works just as well as evidence toward endo Gregory theory. Mechanical eyes and brain explain the glitching vision, and Freddy sees that Gregory’s skeleton looks strange with X-ray vision, more like an Endo than a human skeleton.

Another strange room explained by mimic Endo Gregory: the scooper room in the Ruin ending.

I was pretty confused about that ending. Why is the scooper there, and why is it shown to us? Does scooping the mimic out of its costume seem like the most logical way to decommission it? It's so random.

But if someone (the Storyteller/Helpi/Afton version of the Mimic who is wired through the Pizzaplex) was training endos to be the Afton children, to put the family back together, and kidnapping children to put the endos into, the scooper room would be required. Just like Michael was scooped to make room for Ennard, kidnapped children would be brought down to that scooper room to insert the endos.

Does Gregory know that he's an endoskeleton inside a human boy’s body, or does he believe himself to actually BE Crying Child? It's possible that he’s forgotten his prior life as an endo, and here's why:

Freddy has an existential crisis over the endo room. There are voice lines where he says this must be where he was born, and that he's not allowed to come down here. It seems like he doesn't remember his time in training as an endoskeleton.

Which means that memory is severed when an Endo is assigned a costume. The training remains, layered beneath the persona of the character.

(I'd also like to pitch that Freddy’s endo may have been in training to be Michael Afton, just as Gregory was trained to be Crying Child. Which is why Freddy seems to recognize Gregory and desires to protect him.)

There is a deleted voice line where Freddy finally recognizes Gregory and remembers where he saw him before, but gets cut off. Does his Endo remember Gregory’s Endo, having ‘grown up’ together? Does his Michael trained endo recognise Gregory’s CC trained endo? I'm not sure, but there are lots of interesting possibilities.

There's a deleted Vanessa voiceline. “I understand. I'll do just as you ask. And yes, I've already selected one.” It's possible that the ‘one’ she has picked out is the child that would be scooped to make room for Endo Gregory.

There are 2 mimics that we know of. Most of this info comes from the Tales from the Pizzaplex books.

Mimic 1: Limb ripper in the basement

Mimic 2: Storyteller/Helpi/Glitchtrap, who runs all through the Pizzaplex and is infected with the Afton code.

I believe that mimic 2 created an endoskeleton and trained it to become Crying Child in an attempt to put the family back together. It influenced Vanessa to seek out and kidnap children (for testing? Testing the scooping, endo insertion and body preservation process?) She eventually kidnaps Gregory, chosen for his resemblance to Crying Child, who is then scooped and filled with the Crying Child endo.

Possibly, like all endos, its memory is severed, so Gregory doesn't know he's an endoskeleton shoved inside a child's corpse. All he knows is from his training: that he is Crying Child, and that he must do whatever his creator, Mimic 2, asks him to.

This is why Vanessa ‘coincidentally’ has all the same therapists as Gregory. They're both under the influence of the same entity, mimic 2/Glitchtrap, who has them look out for each other. When therapists get too close to the truth, Gregory is tasked to lure them to the Pizzaplex to be killed.

Something happens before the events of Security Breach. Maybe Gregory finds out what he is and how he was created. Maybe he just gets tired of killing people for mimic 2, and wants to run away from home. Either way, he now wants to escape from the Pizzaplex and Mimic 2.

During Security Breach, he does the Princess Quest and frees Vanessa from Glitchtrap/mimic 2’s mind control. They help each other escape the Pizzaplex and Vanessa becomes his guardian in the outside world.

Cassie gets lured to the Pizzaplex by the teamwork of mimic 1 and mimic 2. During the elevator ending, when Gregory drops her down the elevator shaft, he does it because he's afraid the mimic will follow her. At first I thought he was talking about mimic 1, which is silly because limb ripper would still have no way out of the basement, even if Cassie escaped.

Now I realize he was talking about mimic 2, who has infected her Vanny mask and probably her brain through the neural implant. Gregory can't risk Mimic 2 coming after him and dragging him back into the family. He may have been created for the purpose of being Crying Child, but he’s desperate to escape that destiny. He’s willing to sacrifice Cassie to keep his newfound freedom.

Now for the optional Bonnie part of the theory.

There are several pieces of evidence pointing towards Bonnie working with mimic 2/Glitchtrap. The tunnel hidden under a poster in Bonnie's dressing room leads to Vanny’s lair. (A tunnel that's not large enough for Bonnie to fit through, but an endoskeleton that can resize to fit any suit would.) In Ruin, when you use the mask to deactivate wet floor bots, putting the souls of the kidnapped children to rest (children who, I believe, were killed in scooper experiments leading up to Gregory), the lights in Bonnie's eyes go out, as though he's bound to these souls.

A therapist calls out Vanessa for meeting with a strange person. ‘What are those? Rabbit ears?’ the therapist says, seeing the figure on video. I believe that was Bonnie meeting with Vanessa. Gregory later goes on to use the alias ‘doc rabbit’ in GGY, but we never see him in a rabbit costume or suit. I believe this is a reference to his past existence as Bonnie.

My theory is that the endoskeleton, who was being trained to eventually become CC, was originally put into Bonnie. Bonnie and Vanessa worked together to kidnap children, testing and hunting for the CC endo’s final body. Somehow Monty found out about the kidnappings. He confronted Bonnie and attacked him. The CC endo slithered out of Bonnie's ruined shell, living secretly in the Pizzaplex until the Gregory body is obtained.

This solves a major Bonnie mystery. Why didn't the company just repair his endo and put it in a new suit? It would be easier than decommissioning the character and rebranding all of Bonnie's products. But we’ve seen that each endo grows up like a child, organically learning. If Bonnie’s endoskeleton was missing, having slithered away to save itself, there's no quick fix for that. The company is forced to take Bonnie out of the character roster, at least until another endo can be trained to take his place.

This is another possible point of recognition between Freddy and Gregory. When Freddy finally recognizes Gregory in the deleted voice line, it could be him recognizing his old friend Bonnie. This would also explain why Freddy immediately feels connected to Gregory and considers him his ‘superstar’.

Final part requires a bit of explanation. I believe CC’s real name is Jeremy. This is based on the name Jeremy recurring so frequently in the franchise + in Help Wanted 2, where you play as Bonnie bro, when everyone urges you to remember the past and what happened back in the old diner, it's always ‘Remember Jeremy’. This makes me think they want you to remember the boy who got chomped, a boy named Jeremy Afton.

Another fnaf Jeremy was the boy who was murdered by William Afton and shoved inside of Bonnie.

I believe this is a deliberate connection. Though CC Jeremy and Bonnie ghost Jeremy are two different kids, I think them having the same name is an intentional choice, symbolizing how Glamrock Bonnie and Gregory would eventually contain the same endoskeleton, the endo trained to be the new CC Jeremy Afton.

A few random notes:

I believe that Gregory was living in the Pizzaplex’s secret rooms, first as an endoskeleton in training, possibly as Bonnie, and eventually as Gregory once he was given a human body. Any evidence to the contrary, such as the therapist saying ‘why did you lie? I looked into it, and you have a normal, happy family’ is just meddling from mimic 2, feeding people false information from phony authority. (Which we know mimic 2 is capable of, since a memo states that Vanessa got her position due to orders from higher ups, in spite of her having no security experience.)

EDIT: Someone pointed out that Gregory has a home and a family in GGY. Makes me wonder if, after being endo'd, Gregory was sent home to his body's family? He could have lived the boy's life and masqueraded as him while still serving mimic 1/Afton. Especially easy to get away with if he has emotionally distant parents. It's also implied that he changed to this school recently, which would help his changed behavior go unnoticed.

I'm unsure if Cassie was friends with the human boy Gregory, or if she only met him after he was implanted with the CC endo.

Most likely, Cassie never met the human Gregory. I believe that freshly implanted endo Gregory met a sad girl in the Pizzaplex and befriended her. I don't think we’ve ever met the ‘real’ Gregory either, since this theory hinges on Gregory being an endoskeleton inside a child’s corpse for the events of Security Breach.

What differentiates this from Robot Gregory theory?

The presence and emphasis on the scooper room in the old diner.

Vanessa is the only mimic 2 servant that we know of. Vanessa probably couldn't build a perfect humanoid robot, but she is capable of kidnapping human children and bringing them down to the old diner to be scooped. (Especially if she had Bonnie’s help.) The endo only has to be trained properly, as the models originating from the mimic are made to fit any costume or body and imitate behaviors they're taught.

FNAF canon's excessive amount of world building regarding endoskeleton training and endoskeletons slithering into human bodies. We see the Endo training facility and Afton related rooms in during Security Breach, and play an endo training mini game in Help Wanted 2. In the books, we see the original mimic endo copying a child’s actions and taking on his personality. Over and over, the books also show us endos inserting themselves into humans, both in B7-2 where Billy’s extracted endo enters his grandmother, and in the epilogues, where the limb ripper mimic crawls into Kelly.

I would love to hear feedback on this theory. Thank you for reading!

Probably too vague of a question, but does Lily ever strike others as fatphobic? Even when I was a fan of hers, she made me feel pretty bad about my proportions

this is the reason why i said on my response to her masterpost that she thinks marah is "thick". even a label like "curvy" might be pushing depending on what panel you're looking at.

(funny how LO stole a huge portion of another's reviewer video to talk about SU's character are often off model and yet she constantly has her own characters completely off base. if you didn't even know what marah's body type is supposed to be, i don't blame you.) on these one for example. there's barely any difference at all between the body type of CMO and marah, or between CLO or marah. her arms and "hips" (as opposed to G who has no hips at all) are not as slim as a stick so, on the creative world of LO, that makes her "thick" and it's another good example of how LO in general is bad at representation of anything outside of her own narrow preferences. i remember a series of posts she made where she kept talking about how "muffin tops" are so cute that sounded so fetishistic and uncomfortable to see, but she probably thought she was being body positive and flaunting how "open minded" she is for consdering that women that don't look like her avatar could be beautiful too. on one of her streams where she talked about past avatar she used, she said something along the lines of "i think that what make every puppet so different is that they come from someone who thinks that every body is beautiful", which strike me as a very odd thing to say because 1. why what does the person who has the avatar think about bodies in general would have any influence on how the avatars look? the avatar is supposed to be her idealized version of herself, right? but if her avatar is actually supposed to reflect how she views beauty in general then that doesn't really speak well about other bodies because 2. excluding the grey pony avatar, they're all conventionally skinny body abled women. some are skinnier than others, some have smaller waist than others, but they're all skinny, they all have conventional femenine hourglass forms. that on itself would be fine even if LO didn't claim to have a ED, but if she herself conflates her avatar with the way she views other people's bodies then we have to ask herself what does that mean. 3. she talks about how muffin tops are cute and sexy but that is not body positivity on itself, is it? if the only context in which she can say "having a body that is not skinny is okay" is when she's sexualizing those body types then that's just fetishization. 4. besides marah, you know what is the only other plus size character that LO has ever written for is?

if you don't have any mememory of this character existing, i don't blame you because she only ever appeared for the Bonnie arc as one of LO's friends that go check on her for the "rumours" of making a hybrid child. MO drools when looking at her and LO thinks she looks cute when Bonnie climb to her head. she informs LO of the rumours of her and G having a romance, believes LO instantly and then it's gone for the entirety of the comic to never be seen or heard from again. she never gets an appropiate introduction on the comic, meaning we don't actually know who she is, what she does or anything about her as a character, beyond the fact that MO thinks she's attractive and LO call her Lacy. she never had fanart that was frequently featured, LO never talks about her, never brings her out and none of the other characters does it either. she doesn't even have an actual role on the story. it wouldn't surprise me at all if LO did completely forgot about her. if you search for "lacy pokemadhouse" only then you'll be able to find her page and realize the only reason she exist at all was because LO wanted to spite Rebecca Sugar. really. she exist so LO can feel like she did something better than Sugar and then she discarded her as an extra who had fulfill her purpose.

making the weight of a plus size character part of her trivia and especially as "one of the heaviest, only behind a woman who isn't even part of the same universe who is full with metal, LO has done" is just gross and so disgusting. none of the other character have their weight exposed like this on their bios, it's not even a thought when it comes to them. this only become a "trivia matter" the moment they're visibly plus size. it's one thing that LO feels any type of way about how her own body is portrayed and even feel frustrated or uncomfortable when she sees fanart that portrays it on a way that upsets her (which still doesn't justify screaming and yelling at people to later not even apoligize to them). she talking about losing weight or wanting to be thinner is on itself also fine because it's her body. but this is how she treats all characters. all her characters are skinny and the very, very few that aren't can't be detacched from the exact number of their weight, something all other character are free from. given the treatment of these two characters (her only plus size characters that aren't buff ever on anything she has ever written) and those odd comments from LO, i don't actually believe her when she claims that she thinks plus size bodies are attractive and just as valuable as skinny bodies. at the most she might fetishize them on an attempt to prove to herself and other that she's okay with them but again, that's not body positivity or acceptance, and at the end of the day, it's pretty clear that LO still prefers skinny characters overal.

[neverhangd]

doing bits and bobs on the blog, obviously. rn i'm in potc hell (thank the gang lmao, s/o for dealing with me go to: @mvrtogg, @itismissswann, @norringtxn / @collectorofmuses), and i just realized that the majority of people who follow me may not have read this page (or even known it existed!), so i wanted to give two important bits of context!

1.) anne bonny walked so her archetypes could run.

i literally found out two weeks ago that anne bonny isn't stupid famous. whaaaaaat? but actually, that did shock me. maybe it's because i had two pirates phases and like research, but i've known a little bit about her since i was a kid: specifically, that she was a kick-ass pirate woman. i've learned a lot more since then, and i love to share it; i joined a group that i thought had a pirate phase only to learn that...they hadn't. and had no idea who anne bonny was outside of being a character someone before me had written as well.

it was exactly then that i realized anne bonny isn't a super famous kick-ass pirate woman and i felt like that one part of dogma. someone was trying to explain how my take on anne bonny both was and wasn't in-line with the previous writer's and it took me a while to realize they were asking what show or book i used for canon because they doubted she was the same character, despite sharing the archetypes. so. just so it's out there, here's an incomplete list of archetypes we can apply to the historical figure anne bonny, kick-ass pirate woman:

riches to rags (gave up a privileged life to marry a pirate)

the redhaired irish

girlboss/tits out for piracy (she would famously whip her shirt off in battle so men would know they'd been killed by a woman)

did it for love (left her first husband and became a pirate with her second)

it's a love story (whatever else they were, history tells us jack and anne were in love, even if i don't usually use that on this blog)

three's company, too (anne and read were absolutely an item at the same time as anne and jack)

ambiguously queer (i advocate for a bisexual anne, but the only lady-type lover she took was read, who can be fairly read as transmasc, putting some doubt on the full connotation of her orientation/s)

short fuse (she was known to fight over basically anything)

2.) what in the url?

since anne bonny isn't the kickass pirate bicon of my dreams--we'll get her there, one day!--it's relevant to also share what the fuck my url actually means. because she was a woman a pirate a woman and a pirate alive during the early 18th century, we actually don't have much record of anne speaking for herself. the most popularly known quote we have was spoken directly to jack rackham just before his execution:

if [you] had fought like a man, [you] need not have been hang'd like a dog. -A General History of Pyrates, Daniel Defoe

she said this to him because he and his men were the reason the ship had been caught and they had been taken prisoner and she took that very personally, as well she should! (it turns out that both anne and read were pregnant, anne by jack and read by their husband.) the larger thing is, she wasn't wrong: when the ship was invaded, only three people stood on the deck fighting: read, anne, and an unnamed pirate who presumably died in the struggle. everyone else was hiding below decks. read, in fact, famously fired TWICE down at the hiding men, killing one and injuring another.

the really wild part of all this, though, is the ending of anne's story. we don't know it.

anne's execution was stayed on account of her pregnancy, as was read's. read would die in prison from a fever, and presumably their child did as well; anne, on the other hand, simply...disappeared.

...but what is become of her since, we cannot tell; only this we know, that she was not executed. -A General History of Pyrates, Daniel Defoe (which, if you keep wondering why i'm referencing it, is considered THE source)

officially speaking, we may literally NEVER know what happened to anne. all we know is she NEVERHANGD.*

thank you for your time and attention! ♡
