GUYS THE CANDY CADET STORY???///

It’s gotta be about Vanessa right? Like she’s the only adult female character in the games. She escaped from Glitchtrap just barely through Princess Quest 1-3 but was left with a scar (Vanny? her trauma?). After escaping with Gregory, she builds up the courage to come back to the Pizzeria with Gregory (the young boy guiding her) to take down Glitchtrap forever. They go to the “small house” aka the FNAF 6 Pizzeria and kill the witch aka Glitchtrap. And the oven metaphor referencing how Springtrap/Scraptrap was burned with fire?

though it does say “when she was little” so maybe there’s more to Vanessa’s past than we know? Was the past she told to the therapists in SB true?

#fnaf help wanted 2 spoilers #fnaf hw2 #fnaf vanny #fnaf vanessa #five nights at freddy's #IM SHAKINF #WE GOT SO MUCH VANESSA/VANNY CONTENT #VANESSA FANS KEEP WINNING THIS YEAR #YEAR OF THE VANESSA #this year has just been Vanessa taking down variations of Springtrap over and over #IM SO PISSED apparently she had voice lines that they just either forgot to put in or didn’t finish recording before release #?????? #and they make the story so much less confusing ???? #i genuinely expected Steel Wool to pretend Vanessa Vanny never existed 💀💀💀 #and just like transition to a new era with Cassie Vanny #BUT NO WE GOT SOME KIND OF CLOSURE WITH VANESSA VANNY CRUSHING GLITCHTRAP #i hope and pray this means well see more Vanessa in the future games

Still trying to figure out why Vanessa said she "made it herself" while holding the Vanny mask in Help Wanted

Her outfit was obviously based on the mask, but it's a technician mask- not something she made herself, or even something she should've had- so why was it there and connected to her being Glitchtrapped??

With how heavily it was connected to Vanny and her being glitchtrapped, people fairly assumed she'd made it herself- but since that's not the case anymore, what the hell is the connection here

#Chip Chatter #HW2 spoilers #Help Wanted 2 spoilers #<- they kinda confirmed this in Ruin but just 2 be safe #all I can think of is that she played HW1 through the Vanni mask or just stole one earlier on in her glitchtrapping as a disguise #but NEITHER of those mean she made it #so what was that line all about!! #I'm so sleepy but I'm not gonna get over this until we get an answer #cause right now it just feels like Steel Wool or Scott wanted to use the mask more but didn't know how #so they just changed its existence and forgot about that line entirely #girl what did you MAKE #the fucking glitchtrap plushie??

[bxnnie-bxwl]

dyk that Steel Wool totally intended on us finding Bonnie's body in the base game?? there's unused maps in the files and one of them is the bowling alley & if you explore it, in the blank space behind the lanes theres a note that says like "dont forget to add behind the scenes bowling alley stuff"

OH omg… oh yes they totally wanted us to find bonnie.. and I just might be crazy but I feel they put such emphasis on bonnie.. and that putting him in ruin wasn’t just an easter egg to find him and see what came of him.. like the mop bots having such significance and being tied to him..

I just might be reading too much into things but maybe we haven’t gotten the whole story yet (obviously) but get to know what really happened but also that his story is not yet finished-

#anon #ask #that is so interesting anon…. #I’m just so obsessed with Bonnie now and want him back.. but feels so much just to be an easter egg #and more purpose to steel wool putting him there…

DAMN THEY DRIPPIN

They have so much sibling rivalry energy that would fight each other at every moment they can, but would get protective and work together when a bully tries to hurt the other

It's canon #I'm the CEO of Steel Wool that's why #it has also been brought to my attention that I self-project onto these kids #more specifically #on the many reasons why they would commit arson #that maybe because I accidentally burned down a warehouse at age 9. #No I will not elaborate on that #Freddy and Chica are tired parents #but they still love their gremlin kids #even if said kids want to burn down an entire kitchen to cook pizzas faster #freddy fazbear #fnaf freddy #glamrock freddy #glamrock chica #Roxanne Wolf

[kakyogay]

ah yes I missed the days where all the references that existed for a character was bullshit and hard to make out because they were recently added or barely in the game

anyways look at this goofy ahh render on the wiki

#they fucked up my boy #I'd love it if steel wool made a not broken render because holy shit some parts are really hard to figure out #like what if he had markings on his chest or something more going on with his head #anyways I like the fanmade one more #like they made him bland besides a few funky features on his face and head #I need my boy that I waited a year to see to look silly not just have different colored segments #also they don't have the monty golf ride cut out on the wiki when that would help quite a bit #I guess I'll look at someone's playthrough to get a good reference 😔

[fire-rose]

As a reminder of how tf my mind works when it comes to drawing characters, including OC’s of friends/mutuals, this. I write notes. So many notes that will never be seen again once I actually start sketching.

I even do this with my own characters if I’m using a physical sketch book.

Excessive notes are my friends when I’m struggling to art.

#also how dare Steel Wool make MXES more expressive than majority of FNaF characters #that just makes me love the guy

[chipistrate]

You know, I wonder if Glamrock Fronnie is Scott being like "sorry for donating to the homophobic politicians :("

I feel like it's more a result of the team over at SWS being very queer/queer friendly

And also saying this the month of Ruins release

#Chip Chatter #but who knows- maybe Scott approved of it for that reason #shrug #they felt gay before Ruin though so I think it's more a Steel Wool being very queer thing

[aceinacloset]

Honest opinion of security breach since ruin is coming out and I'm not as excited as I feel I should be.

I have liked FNAF and been into it since it's spike in popularity and the release of FNAF 2 solidified my stay in the community, but since fnaf’s recent release Security Breach and the story that game is building I have not been as excited for Ruin as many others in the community are. So if this post seams very critical that is why.

This post will go into my personal experience playing Security Breach and my pessimism with Ruin because of it. (Also I got this game as a Christmas gift so yeah that's fun.)

Ok a bit of backstory, I finally got this game back in December of 2022 on the 24th, due to my limiting computer and my only console being an Xbox, I had to wait a whole year to play it for myself which may suck but I got to avoid the terrible game breaking Bugs and Glitches so that's nice at least (I was aware of the mixed reception but I wanted to play it for myself before I start having an opinion of the game). I played up to the office in El chips for the second security bag and stopped for the night. These are my positives and negatives of that section of the game I played.

The section up to 12 am was actually good with no problems except one, which has probably been said already but I never really used sound distractions after the segment with Chica in the bathroom.  Soooooo why is that a mechanic?

Also I’m gonna say it now I hate the pop up boxes, I had to turn them off they were so freaking annoying.

I like the section in the lobby. It's the only time where I was anxious about getting caught by the staff bots and the animatronics as well.

The daycare was one of my favorite sections. It took me a bit even with the colored wires because I'm dumb, but other than that it was a solid section.

MOON IS UNDERUTILIZED

VANNY IS UNDERUTILIZED

I would pick it up tomorrow on the 25th and play up to the Faz-cade section and get stuck, this is where the major problems struck. The game is bad at directions, even with the map and cams I had no idea where TF I was going half the time unless I had seen it already and even with that I can still get stuck. Pathing for the Animatronics suck same with the staff bots, they either have such small paths you can avoid them completely or get caught no matter what. This game also has a hard on for bombarding you with Staff Bot's and Endos, it like they have so little faith in there own animatronics AI. ok on to my opinion.

The Superstar-cade is fine, just hard to maneuver through with the staff bot’s…the mini music man is neat.

The office section is nice

I find the VIP fire escapes info weird, like why would you have one of the only fire escapes in the building limited to VIP’s?!?!?! How has this plex remained open?...oh wait.

VANESSA IS SO UNDERUTILIZED 

Freddy died

The backstage section with Roxy is fine, except for the staff bots.

That other office section with the shockable doors is fine but kinda short.

Putting the disc in the sound booth is a pain in the ass half the time because of Roxy’s small as shit path, she circles one small bit of a wide area.

The Endo section I would say is great, but it’s just fine because they use the endos in other areas which ruins their effectiveness for me.

I hate the parts and service sections because of the simons says color shit, like why couldn’t you just do what Help Wanted did?! 

MOON IS UNDERUTILIZED

So I picked decommissioning Monty first and I’m inclined to believe that was what the developers expected players to do, since Monty is immune to both the faz-cam and fazer-blaster so it would be smarter to get rid of him first, but you are only told this info when getting the faz-cam.  Why not just tell us out right because getting rid of Monty first is so much easier…anyway

Monty gulf would be better if you could actually play it, I'm not talking about the arcade machine I'm talking about the multiple different holes around the area…also would have more fun traversing the area if Staff Bots weren't constantly on my ass.

Mazersize can fuck off I hate this maze puzzle, I'm not even bad at puzzles but this was impossible for me to complete without a walkthrough.  And the "answer" message is not helpful either. The Mazersize location is really pretty though...

Fazbear theater is fine minus the Staff Bots and endos.

Monty's "boss" fight was alright, his AI is kinda stupid but it's alright.

I hate the parts and service mini games.

MOON IS UNDERUTILIZED

Roxy raceway is nice, but I forget Roxy is even there because of all the Staff Bots strewn everywhere.

We don't talk about the Staff bot circling a forklift.

Why do I have to fix the Staff bot head for the cart, like who is going to stop me from driving the cart other then Freddy.  Gregory is fully ok with decommissioning the Glamrocks but draws the line at this…

Freddy calls it the west arcade when he could have just said the Faz-cade, because I didn't know what he meant at first because there are quite a few arcades in this plex… maybe I'm dumb.

Like I said I got stuck on the Fazcade section for quite a while and here were the main issues I ran into.  The amount of Staff Bots and the lay out of the arcades makes it really hard to travers without getting caught by a staff bot, when I pull the leaver by DJ Chica could see me from the other floor, I got DJ stuck in his bathroom searching animation by pulling the lever in the bathroom and leaving immediately after (not a complaint more something you could exploit if you wanted.), I pulled the lever on the top floor last. I frequently got stuck at this last lever before the one in the back. Gregory is slow as hell and unless you get speed upgrades you are forever slow, and worst of all there is no auto save at all, not when you pull the lever by DJ's stage nothing. 

After many deaths I finally completed this section and could get Roxy eyes, I have a very small amount of things to say about Roxy's decommissioning and getting to the exit.  I will then talk about the stuff I did after 6am as well as all the endings ranked.

I love Shattered Roxy, they RUINED her in the DLC (hehe get it 'Ruined'...I'll see myself out 🚶‍♀️)

Why is there a room on fire, like what?! It's the only room on fire.

I hate the parts and service mini games.

I find the Roxy upgrade underwhelming like messages said she could see bots through walls…why don't we get that? (Freddy would be too op.)

VANESSA IS UNDERUTILIZED 

MOON IS UNDERUTILIZED

Why does Freddy now know about Vanny? When did he learn about her? What do you mean 'more disappearances' you only learn that info when we get the bad ending, am I missing something? Did I miss something? wait what do you mean all save stations will be deactivated...

Stuff after 6 am was not too difficult ( with the update that gave us one save station on the central balcony, Which doesn't fix the problem, devs.)

Fazer-blaster would be nice if Chica wasn't there.

The whole 'Vanessa is Vanny' dialogue when finding her hideout is so dumb, because stuff like that in most mysteries would be what would lead you to a false conclusion, But no, that is just the right conclusion.

Also as if most of us didn't know already

Bonnie Bowl is so pretty like my God, I want to go there.

I hate the staff bots and endos.

Decommissioning Chica is so easy

I love shattered Chica, she looks like melted cheese In ruin, love her 😍

Not a fan of the garbage section, too short, also Vanny apparently appears in this section…

I hate the sticky note room, fuck that room.

Chica's voice box is so useless

The endings in order from my favorite to my least favorite are…

Bad ending/ Run away ending

Disassemble Vanny ending

Princess quest ending

Drive away ending

Rooftop ending

Burntrap ending

I'll talk about why the endings are ranked this way in a future post, but anyway onto my pessimism with ruin.

One of my reasons for my pessimism is people constantly Saying it will add all removed stuff back into Security Breach, which can't be done, the damage is done, security breach is out and they said so themselves after the last patch 'we are happy with the way the game stands'…I want the removed stuff added back in but it just won't happen.  People saying ruin will answer the questions the security breaches story left, first of all what story?! and second of all you have those tales from the plex books that are already doing it, badly but doing it.

My main reason for my pessimism though is by how much Security Breach really Disappointed me.  I was excited for about two years. I was there to see one of its trailers on one of dawkos streams, I was hyped.  My hopes got crushed and it just can't be raised back up so easily this time.  I have hope for the movie and HW 2, but not Ruin.

Hope you enjoyed this post and maybe even resonate with me and my perspective of security breach and ruin, I will still talk about ruin but not with blind enthusiasm.

small worldbuilding details bc those are my Favorite Things Ever, actually :]

beats and shapes are collectively terrified of storms. considering they're basically lightning rods. it's not an uncommon occurrence for city streets to nearly be entirely abandoned during storms (bc everyone is Hiding Inside Stores). flowers on the other hand adore the rain, there's even an entire type of flower that comes from the desert that's ONLY out during storms

since kids can Literally just. /spawn from the earth if there's enough natural energy around (and blooms just grow naturally bc they're yknow. plants) there is literally a job where you just try to wrangle stray kids. it's tiring

jobs provided by cities have to provide what is basically just oven mitts for shape/beat interactions. that's not to say shapes and beats can't interact without harm, they CAN!! and casual contact really won't hurt you in any significant way, it's just better to be on the safe side w/legalities

building off the top comment; shapes and beats are really just the same thing just w/different energy. the lower the energy, the cooler color. the "warmest" folks are red beats (and yellow shapes/beats but they're unique). warm is in a literal sense, too; though young kids of any type (shape or beat) are very very warm and energetic and in-your-face-neon-levels-of-bright! they "cool down", and dull down, as they age

#jsab #just shapes and beats #just shapes & beats #jsab au #ROA #ramble #just little dudes!!! little guys :) #flowers are literally actually plants they dont share the same “energy” as shapes and beats #high exposure to pure energy of any type is more likely to kill them than anything else #the thunderstorm flowers are based off steel wool/dandelions btw!! #theyre sparky. you can find them just lying around and sleeping a ton when there's no storms and they're not “charged”
