head full of thoughts abt Vanessa Afton.
Vanessa being forced into becoming a cop because William wanted a way to cover up the night guard murders at Freddy’s. Vanessa hating herself for following orders (but knowing she would do anything her dad asked her to; knowing that’s all she’s ever done), but thinking to herself, “Maybe this way, I could keep them safe.” She doesn’t know if she means the night guards or the animatronics.
Vanessa during police training, learning all the self defense and all the tactics and all the ways to keep herself safe and thinking, “Maybe, if I just knew this, I could’ve done something—maybe I can do something now.” But each time she meets her father face to face, she’s a little girl cleaning the blood off William’s Spring-trap suit again, scrubbing until her fingers are raw, because she’s so fucking scared of messing up, but he wouldn’t hurt her. He won’t hurt her, right? He wouldn’t do the same to his own daughter, right?
Vanessa, as she’s being stabbed, staring at the aged face of her father who she wanted to earn love from so badly, searching for an ounce of regret in those eyes that haven’t looked at her with affection in a long time, but she doesn’t know if she sees any. Vanessa looking down to see the suit’s yellow hands, her own blood now staining it, thinking of how much of a chore it’ll be to clean it.
Vanessa knowing this might be the day she dies, by the hands of her own father at that. Vanessa knowing the next words she say might be her last. Vanessa choosing to say them anyway—not like a question, but a plead.
“Dad…”
A plead that hides behind her words, a plead for something she’s wanted for so long, a plead for something she’ll never get.

NOoOOOooo!!!
YOU’RE TELLING ME IN EPISODE 25 OF SEASON 1 WHEN BARB IS ALMOST DYING AND STRICKLER REACHES FOR HER HAND WHILE SHE LAYS THERE AND JIM GOES “Thank you for doing this for me.” THIS ABSOLUTE BUM OF A MAN GOES “I’M DOING IT FOR HER.”??????
YOU HALFWIT, IDIOTIC, FATOUS DING-DONG YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE DOING THAT WHEN THIS KID IS LETTING YOU GO SCOT-FREE.
I DONT EVEN BLAME YOU TBH I BLAME THE WRITERS BECAUSE I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THEM FOR TAKING AWAY THE “It isn’t just for you.” FROM ME AND EVERYONE ELSE.
(i am aware i am very very late to this rant but what can i say? i have feelings about these decisions as i’m rewatching and yes, there may be more to come.)

god henry’s death remains SO dark like it’s one thing to be like we’re going to kill people so that there’s real stakes! it’s another to be like this boy is sixteen and he is about to be murdered by his own father and he knows that, and he knows his friends can’t save him, and he knows it’s too late, and the last thing he is going to do before he dies is say to courtney: don’t let this change your mind, don’t let my death be the thing that makes you stop seeing the good in people, that makes you stop believing in humanity like what the FUCK were the writers on

I feel obligated to tell you that I've been reading Astro City and one character makes a reference to a fictional Inherit the Wind musical and it immediately reminded me of your forays into musical history
Ehehe, glad to be The Musical Person for you. But huh, is there a particular reason they chose “inherit the wind” I wonder? It seems like an odd thing to make up, in terms of. Well, okay, I don’t know how deep a cut inherit the wind is, but it seems weirdly specific. If they wanted to reference like a musical that has to do with courtrooms, then I guess there’s not a lot to choose from…Legally Blonde does, of course, and so does Wind in the Willow, Something Rotten…I think Pippin has one, maybe? And the toy trial in Mary Poppins probably counts. But I guess all of those are all very much not serious. Do you think it’s like a throwaway gag, as in the idea of a musical adaptation of such a source material is the joke? Or is it something that somehow relates the themes of the comic, or both?
