Do you think Death was chasing down puss in boots but kept on having to do his job every time one of the baker dozen died. He’d be so close and then do a Swiper “aw man” everytime because Big Jack Horner just kept on killing people

#puss in boots #spoilers #puss in boots the last wish #Big Jack Horner #Death (Puss In Boots) #Because all 13 of those guys died #and their deaths are to emphasize that Jack Horner is evil #because death isn’t funny in this movie even when presented as comical #because we see him #and because are favorite fearless hero sees him and is scared of him #we know we should be too #and if Death is the only one #like that time Puss had a panic attack Death was chasing after him #and like one of the dozen dies because Jack is awful #he has a job to do and he can’t let his pettiness get in the way

William Afton: Mad Engineer AND Psychopathic Killer (a meta i wrote at 1 am because i have THOUGHTS), and Contemplating Sister Location

william afton being a mad engineer and a deranged serial killer aren’t mutually exclusive concepts. he can be ted bundy (“charming” persona who kills bc of psychopathic tendencies & lack of regard for human beings) AND ted kaczynski (manifesto behind his deeds) at the same time. this dude is evil as fuck, why can’t he be portrayed as smart with some kind of master plan AND be plain evil at the same time.

like. his primary goal is to

1) kill (due to the Urges^tm and his rage at losing elizabeth and evan & constant jealousy of henry, when after losing 2 of his kids he kills charlie, the presumed first death)

and his secondary goal is to

2) do whatever it takes to fulfill his murderous urges, even if that means creating robots specifically designed for those purposes

remnant has always confused me and i find the more hardcore scifi elements of fnaf off putting, but not to the point where i disregard sister location bc it’s “too sci-fi.” sister location is arguably my favorite fnaf game!! i LOVE sister location!! i mean, it formally solidified mike as the series protagonist! what’s not to love!

but its placement in the timeline is questionable but overall it works, even if i conveniently ignore the concept of remnant in it. i personally just. don’t pay attention to the remnant stuff and focus more on the afton family drama and the paranormal elements of ghosts rather than “oooh injecting the soul essence of the MCI kids into robots” but that’s just me.

regardless, to make SL somewhat timeline-compliant, while also fitting the initial intended themes of FNAF 1-3 (spooky paranormal story with a serial killer), viewing willam’s genius and his psychopathy as coexisting aspects of his character and not two opposing concepts is vital imo.

sometimes killers don’t need some big motive to kill or do evil deeds. i mean look at jack horner from puss in boots. however, someone with such mechanical prowess and homicidal tendencies such as william would most DEFINITELY squander his technological gifts on making the Funtimes, just huge murderbots so he can continue his killing spree, the only thing that makes him feel alive.

you don’t have to view remnant as a big component to SL in order to enjoy it. you don’t have to ignore william’s engineering genius in order to emphasize the pure-paranormal non scifi side of fnaf. you don’t have to ignore the paranormal just so you can go along with the sci-fi lore additions such as remnant and illusion disks.

TLDR: imo, ignoring remnant as a plot element has no effect on william’s motives because his motive for making crazy advanced robots can solely be his desire to kill as he just becomes more unhinged as he refuses to cope with the deaths of his two favorite children.

More condensed TLDR: let peepaw make murder robots without needing to “harvest immortality”

feel free to discus/disagree or add more to this, i’d love to start a respectful discussion!
