A really sinister aspect into how people view children and parents is the idea of children being a replaceable commodity.
I've seen this in the way people talk about parents who have lost children but have surviving children... "Oh, at least you have other children," as though a child is just an interchangeable tool, a machine that dispenses what you want from it without it being sentient, whole, and feeling. The fact that people say that in order to comfort somebody shows, to me, how deep this mindset is engraved in people's brains: children are interchangeable items, and they do not fundamentally matter.

alright, finally put my thoughts together after watching like 6 povs on and off and processing what we saw today. i have two major points to make, and i guess i'll just start with the meta one.
on a meta level, the eggs are fine. narratively, to just grab them from their beds and "oops goodbye" is a level of lazy, awful storytelling that we just… don't get from the qsmp lore gods. who wants to watch these kids grow up and then one day they're all missing, the end? nah. also, i am fully convinced that they wouldn't do it without giving their regular players a chance to show up, and with phil, baghera, and etoiles gone i don't think they'd ever do that. plus vegetta would kill quackity lmao the eggs play a pivotal role in the qsmp, quackity's said so before, and i'm honestly still half convinced the new players will get eggs… maybe after the original ones hatch. either way, on a meta and / storytelling level it doesn't make sense, and my mind's not changing until something big happens.
now, on a more "in character" perspective? today felt like two distinct moments in qsmp history rolled into one, and it makes my stomach churn. i was watching bad's live when the code killed ramon, and all povs were dripping with that heartbroken but hopeful but empty feeling, the exact same one i had when i watched bad sit silently by ramon's dead body for hours, throwing totems at him. it also reminded me of the day we had to wait for a verdict on bobby's final death, how we were all so sure that he'd survive only to be hit with the news that no, no he didn't. no, bobby was gone. for good.
what the qsmp admins and ccs accomplished today was amazing, because my feelings right now? definitely don't match what i logically know as fact. i know the eggs have to be okay, but i thought that before and look what happened. the emotions, the dejection, the stillness, the silence of the server today is jarring and awful, and it makes me second guess myself at every turn. it takes a lot for media to be able to be so visceral and raw, but today it was.
today, we had a front row seat to grief, in all it's shapes and forms, and of the silence that children leave behind when they're no longer with us, and i won't ever forget the streams i watched tonight.
g fucking g qsmp, admins and streamers alike.

So uh. Yesterday, Archer was babysitting a toddler. The toddler left in the evening. Then, later in the night, the game gave me a notification that Al (the toddler) tragically burned to death. A toddler. Burned to death. I wish I was kidding but I genuinely feel bad for this dead pudding toddler and his family. I hope these two little guys don't face the same fate.

Even while Kratos was fighting the enormous bear, his thoughts were still very much on his son. Fighting was nothing new to him, and dealing with a bear, even one as large as Björn, was something he didn't have to put very much thought into. He was able to anticipate the creature's movements and get the better of him.
But when the bear started to change, started to shrink, that was when he knew something was different about the bear.
And the first thought, upon seeing that the bear was his son was "Oh gods, not again." His son's blood was on his hands, the boy he'd sworn to protect, had begun to truly nurture, to train, the child he loved more fiercely than life itself, lay dead in the snow before him.
It was why he recoiled in horror from the changing body of his son, and why he did not care about dealing with anything else until Atreus had healed himself. Because if he had killed his child again, there would be nothing left for him, and he would be truly damned. No one would be able to do anything to him that he had not already done to himself.

Small headcanon dump since she has my heart.
wants to be the center of attention so bad, all in the hopes of proving himself.
lowkey jealous that the others get more attention (particularly baby as the namesake of the pizzeria & then rental service), but still views them as family.
not aware at creation of his real purpose. truly just wants to be an entertainer. the showman & the diva, and all that!
the first kill does not go over well. although foxy has been imbued with remnant via the scooper's injector and is sentient, she still doesn't truly have the capacity to understand what's going on. being programmed to both perform/interact with the children positively and kill quickly makes foxy begin to go a little haywire.
loves william as both father & creator in the beginning, although the killing stunts this. even as foxy becomes more dangerous to his intended victims, she also becomes more volatile toward him.
inevitably comes to loathe humankind, namely adults. but no matter how much foxy loves the kids, he cannot escape his purpose until after william is gone. even so, he is still volatile and potentially dangerous to anyone.
as implied in SL, foxy's actions are initially caused by believing michael is william. once realizing, foxy's feelings are more complex ( after all, she was made for mike in a way ) but will not prevent her from trying to kill him.

Leondas stealing away a child and devouring them in the night. The townsfolk find the remnants of the murder and confirm the death to the mother. She is hysterical and inconsolable, even more so when she begins to see her daughter in the outskirting woods at night.
Taking the form of the fallen child, Leondas seeks to lure the mother, too, to her demise. Having no one that believes her and her sightings, the mother eventually gives in and enters the wood. She is not seen again.

Gold has a... healing factor, of sorts. His body is permanently fixed in the state it was in at the time of death by default, and it takes approximately 48 hours at minimum for it to reset back to that state should he be injured or otherwise. It could take longer depending on how severe of a state he's been left in, but it will reset itself eventually.
This includes his hair, unless he has far more severe injuries to heal first (ie. if you set him on fire).

*&*  –  was that [ zion moreno ]  ?  oh no no , that was just [ tigris snow ] , a [ canon character ] from [ the hunger games ]. they are [ twenty four ] years old , use [ she / her ] ,  &  [ are ] aware that they are not actually from washington dc.
B A S I C S .
dc arrival : november 2021
current occupation : fashion designer / boutique owner
canon point : post- tbosbas
pronouns : she/her
memory status : unaffected
I N F O R M A T I O N .
full name : tigris snow
nicknames : none
age : twenty four
birthday : april 3
homeplace : capitol, panem
previous location : capitol, panem
native language : english
traits : loyal, defensive, sympathetic, compliant, intelligent
C A N O N  T I D B I T S .
in the future, more information about this original character can be found by clicking the page linked at the bottom.
she was born into a prominent capitol family, whose wealth disappeared after the first rebellion. the death of her parents soon followed & she then lived with her grandmother & her younger cousin.
she did as needed to help her family get by, & she attended an elite school due to her former family status. after graduation, she officially went on to pursue fashion instead of university, a lifelong passion of hers.
her cousin became one of the first 24 mentors of the annual hunger games, & despite her aversion to these events, she supported his endeavors & advised him along the way.
B I O G R A P H Y .
this includes canon information, as well as headcanons. this contains SPOILERS.
tigris was an only child from one branch of the capitol's prominent snow family, their wealth gained from the laboratories of district 13. she lived a privilege life as a young child, alongside her cousin coriolanus, though a rebellion from oppressed districts led to the devastation of her family's prosperity & the eventual death of her parents. with this loss, she went to live with her cousin & grandmother, her uncle dying shortly after, & she was left to do a lot of the work in raising coryo & providing for the family. with them keeping up the illusion of their former wealth, she attended the capitol's elite academy, & then went on to pursue a loved career in fashion instead of furthering her education, working tirelessly under a designer from the area. meanwhile, coryo attended the academy himself, his graduating class becoming the first set of mentors for the annual hunger games tributes.
the hunger games had been created ten years prior after the districts' loss of the civil war, putting random children from the districts into an arena to fight to the death. she was appalled by these so-called games, finding them cruel & unethical, but she went on to support her beloved cousin through his mentorship as he tried to earn them the proposed prize money. she remained sympathetic towards the tributes, & she encouraged coryo to connect with his tribute lucy gray. when she ended up winning the games, it was found that coryo had cheated in order to secure that win, & he was exiled as a peacekeeper in the district for twenty years. she was saddened by his departure, & after he left, she continued to struggle to keep a roof over her & her grandma'am's heads. they were evicted shortly before coryo's return on an honorable discharge, but this was reversed once coryo was soon taken under by the wealthy father of his late friend. while disappointed in some of his actions since, she continued to stay by coryo's side until she ended up here.
A D D I T I O N A L   N O T E S .
were she to have remained in canon, she would have became one of the first stylists for the games under coryo's eventual tyrannical rule & she would have resented him. she would have also began altering her appearance significantly in order to resemble a tiger, complete with stripes & whiskers. she would also turn to animalistic behaviors such as eating raw meat & making feline noises. this would have been the reason given when coryo later fired her as a stylist, & she would later open a fur-lined clothing shop & align herself with the second rebellions' cause, despite meaning the death of her once dearly loved cousin.
i have yet to read the book ( though the ebook is already downloaded ), so she is mostly based on the movie atm.

@bravevolunteer asked: ❝ ❛  it felt so real ...  ❜ ❞ ( dreams / nightmares starters )
William Afton was no stranger to nightmares, although it wasn't something any other living soul would know. He kept the themes of those dreams just as tight to his chest—amalgamations of childhood memories and death and failure. Haunted by his son's death and his own future demise, but never by his own actions. He couldn't relate to his own reply at all, although that was never the intention in the first place. "A guilty conscience can do that." ( As if he would know. ) And this was how William handled Michael nowadays—punishment through complete disregard. Indifference. ( Easier said than done. ) Focused more on the breakfast he was preparing than any of his living son's concerns.
Tumblr media
"But the animatronics aren't dangerous. Not on their own." Any semblance of comfort always tinged with blame—like an afterthought, like he had to remind himself to not show any care. "If you're planning on recounting your nightmare, at least grab the plates.

okay, headcanon dump for cassidy's survival AU ( appearance here )
her brother, jordan, is killed instead of her. whether or not jordan is a part of GF in this verse is. undecided as of rn lmao
cass and jordan both represented easy victims because, like, they're two kids with a barely present, seemingly uncaring mother. cass has been given eldest-sibling-turned-parent treatment, which means an eight year old is literally getting watched over by a 13-year-old. they love fre.ddy's and spend a ton of time there, and both are susceptible to wanting anyone to give a shit about them. honestly, i'd say jordan is the easier target anyway, because he isn't as untrusting or "difficult" as cassidy
anyway, in both this verse and canon verse, bethany ( their mother ) moves not long after the murder. there's a multitude of reasons for this, but honestly none are actually bad. nonetheless, it fucks cassidy up to have to attend a funeral ( with no body, mind you ) and then move the moment things are "settled" from the place he was born and raised
cassidy already acted out some pre-murder, but it worsens in the aftermath
he goes fully no-contact with his mother upon turning 18. unlike jordan, cassidy would not change his mind about this or be open to resuming contact. this isn't a moral statement on either btw, both were genuinely messed up due to how she raised them and both are valid in how they chose to handle that as adults
cass never forgot the mentions of other missing children around the time jordan disappeared. she starts looking into it heavily in high school and immediately goes back to hurricane when she has the chance
it's 1991, cassidy is 19, going on 20, and has only one purpose in life—finding who was behind her brother's murder ( because of course he's aware of the disappearances in the town since then too ) and quite literally killing them
yeah, she is in over her head lmao
while she doesn't specifically suspect william himself just yet, she is certain there's a connection to fred.dy's
while cass is fine with the name "cassidy," by adulthood he mostly introduces himself as "cass"

Jane’s Pets Chapter 3: Q&A
TWs in the tags
Previous
Masterlist
Next
You come back to yourself slowly. By the time the medication has worn off, you’ve “watched” two movies (you don’t even remember the titles) and Jane is still holding you. You consider pushing her away, but quickly dismiss the idea. You don’t know if she’d punish you for that, but it’s not worth it to find out.
You spot Kit and Dollie working on a puzzle a bit away. They don’t look at you. You turn to look at Jane. She’s looking at you, smiling.
“How are you feeling?”
“I… a bit tired. Less loopy.”
She nods. “You’re not as scared as you were before. Is there anything you want to talk about? Any questions?”
“Is there anything you think I should know?”
Her smile widens. “Hm. Well, Dollie and Kit are names I assigned in order for it to sound more normal to you. Their real names are Puppy and Kitty. And you’re Bunny. Forget your old name, you’ll be punished if you use it.”
You swallow and nod.
“You belong to me. All of you do. You will do what I tell you to, or else you will be punished. You will not say no to me. I think that’s the gist, at least for now. I was going to introduce you to everything more slowly, see if I could get you to see this all as normal if I went slow enough. And it was so fun to watch the others squirm... But you saw the basement too soon, so I adapted.”
You nod slowly. “And I won’t get hurt if I’m good?”
“You won’t get punished if you’re good. There’s some conditioning we’re going to have to do, and that can hurt sometimes. I don’t think you’ll have much trouble, though. You learn quick.”
“What-what does that mean? That we’re going to do conditioning?”
“Right now all I have planned for you is some obedience tests and collar training. Collar training is just getting you used to wearing a collar and building positive associations with it. Puppy and Kitty wear collars too. Well, just Puppy right now, I didn’t trust Kitty to not show you if they were wearing a collar, so they’ve been going without.”
You think back through your time here, and realize you’ve never seen Dollie without a turtleneck or scarf.
She smiles. “They’ve hated it, by the way. I should probably give it back now that you know. Kitty!”
Kit looks up from the puzzle.
“Do you want your collar back?”
Kit nods, hands instinctively going to their neck. You feel sick.
“Come here.”
Kit jumps up and runs to Jane.
“Kneel.”
Kit drops to their knees. A collar appears in her hand.
“Say that you want your collar back, Kitty.”
“I want my collar back.”
“Hm?”
Kit winces, glancing at you. “I want my collar back, master.”
Jane puts the collar on them and tightens it as far as it will go. “Say ‘Thank you, master.’”
“Thank you, master.”
“Good! You can go back to playing with Puppy.”
Kit hesitates, looking at you sympathetically, before running back to Dollie (you won’t call her Puppy, that’s disgusting). You can’t look away from the collar around their neck.
Jane turns her attention back to you, and you try not to flinch. “Let’s see, anything else you’re wondering about?”
“Do you- do you want me to call you master?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Okay, master.”
Her grin widens ever further. “Oh, I’m not going to have any trouble conditioning you at all. There’s a reason you’re the Bunny. Puppies and kitties are predators, fighters, even if they’re tiny and weak. It takes work to make them submit, but not bunnies.”
You nod, trying not to show how terrified you are. You don’t want to be sedated again. You want her to stop touching you. You want her to stop talking to you.
“How long do you think it will take for you to kill for me? I think it’ll only take a month. Puppy and Kitty have killed for me, you know. Killed and tortured. I’ve had Puppy kill a child. Stop shaking.”
You hold your breath and tense up in an effort to stop shaking.
“Good Bunny! Was there any other questions you had?”
You shake your head. “No, master.”
“You’re so cute. I think I’ll get you a reward for being so good. Later. I have things to do! I’ll see you again in a few hours.”
She vanishes into thin air, and you curl into yourself. You’re scared to let yourself shake, even with Jane gone.
“Do you want to work on this puzzle with us?” Kit asks. You don’t move.
“You can like, cry if you want. Or shake. She won’t punish you for that unless she specifically told you not to shake while she’s gone.”
You don’t move.
“That’s also okay. Sometimes you just gotta… shut down. Do you want a blanket or something? That might be more comfortable.”
You don’t move.
“Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help you feel better. You can join us with the puzzle at any time. And… you’re not, like, weak or anything. Well, maybe, but not in a way that’s different from us. She’s just playing mind games with the whole animals thing.”
You don’t move.
A/N: Let me know if I should tag anything else!

@ghostofaformerself is getting a serial killer wren starter because we love pain
Tumblr media
every night since amelia died felt unending. some nights he spent in silence locked in his office, staring off into nothing or throwing himself into his work. other nights he could do nothing but cry and cry and cry until there was nothing left and he would sometimes be lucky enough to finally catch a couple hours of sleep. and then there were nights like this where, for someone unaware of the circumstances looking in, things appeared normal. he and rayne were lounging on either side of the couch as if amelia was still there to lay between the two of them like she always did watching tv. things were silent except for the ambient noises from the tv, dialogue, soundtracks, commercial breaks. if wren let his mind wander, he could almost pretend that things were normal and amelia was just in her room sleeping and he and rayne were just mindlessly watching tv until they too turned in for the night.
at some point, the show they're watching goes off the jingle of the local news plays. wren shifts from his lounging position to retrieve the remote from the coffee table in front of them, but the words that come from the news anchor stop him dead.
"we have some breaking news to bring to you tonight following the ongoing story of the double homicide that took place in an upscale apartment complex earlier this year. the body of the prime suspect in the crime, 25-year-old troy morrison, was discovered by hikers in the outskirts of the city. though the investigation is still ongoing, preliminary reports are suggesting that he was murdered at least two weeks ago and disposed of shortly thereafter in a wooded area miles outside of the nearest major highway or town. at this time, that is the only concrete information we have. law enforcement is requesting that the public—"
without even realizing it, wren had finally grabbed the remote and shut the tv off, leaving he and rayne in the silence of the apartment, the two of them only illuminated by the small nightlight plugged into the nearby wall. wren was trembling, the dark amber colored liquid in his glass swirling as he brings it to his lips. as the warm liquor burns its way down his throat, wren is surprised with the realization that he doesn't feel anything. no panic nor fear at the possibility that he could be caught now that the body was discovered and, more than that, not any degree of regret or disgust for what he had done, despite a lifetime of condemning those same actions.
glass now empty, he sets it down on the coffee table next to the remote and finally turns his gaze to rayne. "are you okay?" when he speaks, his voice is calm, almost troublingly so. of course, one could argue that there was no single emotion that anyone could expect him to feel in that moment — whether that be joy at the death of the man who killed amelia or anger that he never faced justice in front of a jury, or really any other emotion for any reason — but there was almost a complete lack of emotion in this voice, besides the slightest hint of concern for rayne's well-being.
