#I WILL BE SCOTT CAWTHON WITH THIS BOOK

[send-me-a-puffalope]

The latest MatPat theory being focused around Vanessa 👁️👁️ Me when I get the giddy hyperfixation tingles whenever anyone brings up my blorbo.

While I don’t think the actual movie version of Vanessa will be revealed to be a robot (solely cause I feel like that’d be too controversial and require too much suspension of disbelief of a choice for the film franchise to make, since it is trying to appeal to a more general audience), I can see that being a possible route that allows the movies to do both Vanessa and Vanny without feeling like doing a 180 of Vanessa’s established character. This version of Vanessa doesn’t listen -> replace her with a new version of Vanessa (Vanny) who will, yknow?

#i feel very validated by this theory from when i read vanessa’s scenes from the movie novel #and threatened to strangle Scott Cawthon in a denny’s parking lot for implying that vanessa was a robot in the movie JFJSJDJ #cause yeah. that is in fact what the book says 😭😭😭 AND IT BOTHERS ME #BECAUSE HOW DID THE HOSPITAL STAFF NOT FIGURE OUT THAT LIKE #HMM MAYBE THIS WOMAN ISNT ENTIRELY ORGANIC #SCOTT CAWTHONNNNN #as always i’m not one to hate on a theory #its fnaf anything is possible. there is no such thing as wrong theories #all paths are interesting to consider #fnaf vanessa #vanessa shelly #vanessa afton #five nights at freddy's #fnaf movie #fnaf 2 movie #matpat #game theory

FNAF rant-

I’m so tired of Scott being so ambiguous. Idc what people say, it’s not fun. He’s done this for 10 years and it’s gotten us basically nowhere.

I don’t think the books are canon, but Scott should tell his fanbase if they are. The books have been around since 2016 and still no 100% answer. Especially with what he’s said recently.

Most of the stuff that fans classify as “canon” are just theories hat built up over time. Some ARE confirmed and canon, but most aren’t. Which is why there’s so much debate over timelines and theories

Games can be ambiguous but also tell a really good story if you look (portal, undertale, etc), but the way scott tells the story is getting boring and annoying.

If Scott is scared of how FNAF fans will react, then just change it. He’s already done that before with dream theory in FNAF 4. Even if he doesn’t, just do whatever you want, 50% of the fandom doesn’t like him anyway so who cares anymore.

What’s the end goal of FNAF? FNAF is gonna end someday, so what the fuck is gonna go on then? Another 10 years till? Guess we’ll see the end in 2035 when William is back as a real life bunny who gets adopted by the secret child of that girl with the toy animatronics in FNAF 4 8-bit games.

This isn’t really that serious, but I’m just tired. I’ve been a fan since 2014 and I genuinely just want something, anything. Something small.

I’m too old to care this much about a kids game oh lord. Rant over.

I don't feel like adding to that post about fnaf and comparing it to HP but

absolutely boycott fnaf if you don't agree with Scott cawthon and how he donates to conservative politicians. Like, yeah no that shit fucking sucks

but it is disingenuous to compare it to JKR and HP, like HP wasn't a worldwide phenomenon compared to FNAF's flashfire popularity and like JKR isn't fuck off rich and has a huge amount of saying power due to her voiced hatred + that fuck-off richness

You don't see Cawthon heading the movement of pro-life shit like JKR is with anti-trans shit. He's making bank off of residuals but he isn't getting personal thanks from the shitheads he donates to. JKR got quoted in parliament ffs

#q speaks #not to mention the different culture between like...book authors and game creators i feel. #you say Stephen King and JKR or neil gaiman and ppl usually know who youre talking about like theyre a celebrity. #say scott cawthon and idk. satoru iwata or masahiro sakurai. the guy who made doom #outside of a room full of nerds tell me how many ppls heads perk up and how far a small talk convo goes. #we will probs eventually get to a point where a mega rich game creator uses his platform for heinous shit #this is not an example of that though.

I JUST WATCHED THE FNAF MOVIE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I loved it so much

I’m sure fifth grade me would’ve loved it too :)

#fnaf movie #I was a fan of fnaf since I was in fifth grade #around the time Markiplier’s videos were hitting it big #matpat made the connection to the chuck e cheese incident #living tombstone’s music was a cornerstone of my otherwise sheltered music tastes #it was a comfort for me in a rough time #the movie despite scaring the living crap outa me made me feel like I was a ten-year-old hiding the fnaf videos from my parents again #trying to piece the lore together into a made-up book using matpat’s videos as my only references hahaha #I may not have kept in touch since security breach but fnaf will always have a special place in my heart #many years late but #thank you scott cawthon #fnaf

Me reading the Fazbear Frights Novels: wow, I absolutely love this, I mean, the first two aren't that bad

Me reading Count The Ways: *The most audible and disgusted gasp I have ever made in my entire life* that is so vile, what a way to end that book. Anyways-

#im starting the second one right now but i genuinely scared my mom when she heard my reaction #idk what i was expecting but but definitely wasnt that even though thats exactly what it was setting up for #books #fazbear frights #count the ways #into the pit #to be beautiful #fetch #lonely freddy #out of stock #scott cawthon

the tendency for people to go 'well (x) person we found out was shitty always made bad art anyway!' is just... so tiring. no rowling wasn't the best writer ever but she was (WAS) a decent and compelling one, there's a reason her books sold. no scott cawthon's games weren't always shitty and dumb, they were simplistic but in a very appealing way, they literally kicked off a whole mini-genre of games with similar mechanics and a wave of animatronic related horror.

you can acknowledge that people are hugely harmful assholes without immediately derailing into 'and everything they made was bad and useless anyway!' it enforces a bad-person-bad-art concept that makes you remain unwilling to examine art and consider negative things about the creators if you like the art or think it's well done, and it hurts and pushes away people to whom that art was important. it's always ok to talk about a work's flaws, including in the context of finding out bad shit about the creators, but a lot of it just feels like... people retro-justifying their dislike of something popular, you know?

#just. if something makes you feel smart and satisfied and good about your instincts #QUESTION IT. PLEASE #and when someone's done awful crap please let pointing that out be your main priority #instead of going 'haha YES i never liked that book/game/etc' #anyway much more insufferable than those people are the ones going 'but that's just their OPINION how could u be so mean... free country... #every time someone's like 'the creator of this is odious!' #but that's a whole other post #can you tell I've been searching up negative posts/videos about scott cawthon bc i went on the fnaf reddit for something #and saw multiple people going 'ooooh it's so sad that he retired and went off twitter... wish he would come back... #truly the saddest thing is that the poor bullied rich guy retired with his riches....' #ANYWAY. end tags

i started reading the silver eyes last night by the way . you have permission to take me out back and shoot me

#i only got 20 pages in bc of poor timing and i’m spending the day with a friend today #but im going to read it this month i’ve put that into the air💀 #I JUST. IM CURIOUS OKAY SJSKHDF #i think getting actual character glimpses of versions of william and henry is sooo interesting unfortunately please lobotomize me #scott cawthon name repeater strikes again though tell me why i had to read the name michael on page 3 #⁂ ･ﾟ: i was looking for a job‚ and then i found a job‚ and heaven knows i’m miserable now ➛ ooc #*did not buy the book ftr he’s not getting my money. my sister had it from years ago LMAODHDKD

also "charlie has a good relationship with her father" is something that could ONLY be applied to the original charlie. robot charlie, though her relationship with henry was framed as and probably meant to be perceived in a positive light, was pretty obviously abused by henry and the only reason she was ever created was to be a replacement child. he didn't care about her. he cared about what he wanted her to become.

the fourth closet in general is just plain bad-- but easily the worst thing it does is frame henry as the one in the right, and the only one whose feelings and intentions are valid. meanwhile his daughter, an abuse victim and trauma survivor who very obviously loves and feels like any real person would is constantly the one whose framed as being the problem, and whose told she is not real or deserving of her existence and by the end of the story is made to conform to what the people in her life, specifically her father and boyfriend, want her to be.

like i know henry is fucked up by all the trauma hes endured and thats genuinely understandable, but i cant help but hate him after he became the focus of the books and arguably pizza sim while charlie was disregarded, infantilized, sexualized, and eventually forgotten. she was robbed of the story focus she deserved in favor of the male characters around her, including the man who killed her original self.

#tara says stuff #btw even if it wasntiout that scott cawthon was a pro life freak id still think he hates women #bc there is no other explanation for why female characters in fnaf are written like that #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #charlie emily #charolette emily #the puppet #henry emily #fnaf books #fnaf trilogy #the silver eyes #the twisted ones #the fourth closet #the fourth closet is so unimaginably awful u guys #like twisted ones isnt exactly a winner either #(the quality drop between silver eyes and it makes it especially jarring) #but godddddd fourth closet sucks #like ik scott didnt write any of the trilogy books other than silver eyes but he still oversaw and approved them and uugggghhhhhhh #i respect him as a writer and as a creator and i think hes made a good stuff before #but sometimes the things he chooses to do make me wanna crack my fucking skull open #sorry im angry posting i was just thinking abt how much i like charlie and how squandered her character was post silver eyes #and i just needed to get it out #i love fnaf but also i hate fnaf #sometimes

[papirouge]

sorry for being extremely niche, but I can't help but think Tales from the Pizzaplex "B-7" *IS* "anti trans" and that Scott is trolling you all. again 👀

#for those who don't know Scott Cawthon (the creator of the Five Nights at Freddy's gaming serie) is accused #of shoving a pro life narrative into the game bc of its storyline (children sacrifice) and also bc outed as a registered republican lol #but he's still backing up the new games AND the books #and sorry but I wouldn't be surprised if the B-7 storyline suspicions were grounded #into some sort of truth 👀 #of course the female writer might not be aware of it and be honest in her denial #but Scott? naaaah something tells me he's shady like that 👀 #oh terfy Scott 🤍 #five nights at freddy's #tales from the pizzaplex #papi watch

[knight-engale]

Getting snippets of FNaF lore from YouTube shorts after not really interacting with the fandom since like...2015 when I was 13 is so fascinating

I recognize these characters but nothing makes any actual sense

#'in security breach its implied that monty killed bonnie but if you read a book that may or may not be canon' #'you can see that maybe he didn't actually do it because the timelines dont line up' #i like your funny words magic man #and like the lore from scott cawthon himself in the pre sb material doesn't make sense either #what is remnant who is michael and why is he a zombie #please do not explain any of this to me btw i am perfectly fine with being ignorant

[daily-grump-moments]

i did not have learning that scott cawthon wrote official matpat mpreg in a fnaf book through a game grumps episode on today's bingo card but here we are

man if sherlock holmes didn't exist we wouldn't even have game theory

#(JOKE) #unlikely that this is true. but i read up on the sherlockian game today and i'm just like lol. undertale brainrot type of activity #they were constructing fnaf timelines for that book series #arthur conan doyle? pretty much scott cawthon when you think about it
