Note

never have I played any nights at Freddy fazbears

pls explain the whole plot and all lore to me as if I were small and slightly stupid

oh great timing i literally JUST explained this to my asoue discord

this is a VERY simple summary, but things to keep in mind while reading:

very very VERY little of this is directly spelled out for us. the creator, scott cawthon, LOVES to confuse people on purpose and the vast majority of the lore is gleaned from hidden minigames, secret cutscenes, and easter eggs. this makes things very confusing and controversial within the fanbase, so im gonna try to explain where there are differing opinions

really, there's two main stories: the first main story was completed with FNAF6 and Ultimate Custom Night, the story going on rn is the second and it is still ongoing. as such, a lot of the lore is still a mystery to all of us.

For clarity's sake, I will divide this between: THE AFTON STORY, the one the movie's gonna tell a part of, and THE GLITCH STORY, which the games are going through

dont worry i will make it fun to go through so it doesnt feel like school

ok lets go

THE AFTON STORY

First, let's get a visual chart in here. don't worry it's just for show

These are the important families we will be talking about; the Emily family, with father Henry and daughter Charlie, and the Afton Family, with father William, two sons (Michael and a boy who is still unnamed, he might get named on friday? We call him Crying Child "CC") and a daughter, Elizabeth. Don't worry about the mothers they're not important

Okay so here's the thing: of these four children, all but Michael die VERY early on in the timeline

The problem is we do NOT know THE ORDER each of them died. There's a lot of arguments on all sides but I personally think the order is sad boi->charlie->baby so imma present it in that order. But keep in mind that we don't actually know because of the confusing way the lore is dropped.

okay so for starters.

Backstory/FNAF4

purple guy is william afton and he and this guy vcalled henry start opening a restaurant chain starring freddy fazbear

in the original location they've got two animatronic suits, fredbear and spring bonnie. the other location has freddy, bonnie, foxy, chica

the og location suits are ~special~ tho, bc henry and william are crazy inventor dudes. these suits are called "springlock suits". they function as full animatronics but you can wind all the wires and gears and endoskeleton and shit back and step into the costume yourself. only problem is the safety is jackshit and if you like. cry or sweat or breathe wrong the springlocks will fail and the metal will come crashing back and crush u to death. u should have enough time to get to the back room so u dont bleed out in front of the customers tho. springlock suits are important remember those

michael is in his early teens and has just learned how to be a shit to his siblings and is trying out this hot new bullying thing. he's picking a lot on CC because CC is terrified of the freddy animatronics. it is said that he "saw something" that scared him, it could be anything as benign as "saw someone go into the suit and got freaked out" to something as serious as "saw one of those aforementioned springlock failures and person bleeding out." could also be charlie or elizabeth's death if those happen earlier in the timeline. again we dont know bc cawthon likes to confuse us

CC is not scared of the freddy characters tho, he has all the plushies and calls them his friends. he's just scared of the animtronics. unfortunately his dad works there so he has to be there like 90% of the time so he's having a wonderful time. hence the moniker "crying child". bc he cries all the time

anyway at his birthday party, michael decides it would be really funny to shove CC up into the animatronic's mouth for kicks. this goes about as well as you'd expect cause the mouth closes and fuckin. crushes his head

kid goes into a coma for a while but eventually flatlines. while he's in the coma we hear michael tearfully apologizing, and his fredbear plush talks to him (presumed to be william) saying he will "put him back together"

anyway that was fun. so next up charlie emily gets FUCKING MURDERED

Backstory/FNAF1-2

for some reason charlie gets locked outside the pizzeria. william's driving by and decides to stab her bc why not

honestly most of us believe that this occured after CC just bc it gives william motivation to be pissy at his business partner and kill his kid abt it, but also a book that released a month ago implies that william might have been nightmare gassing his kids for shits and giggles so. who knows. dont worry about that btw its not relevant rn

anyway the thing is willie and henry had an animatronic designed to protect the children called the puppet. the puppet sees charlie outside and goes out to help her but it's raining so it fries up the puppet's circuits and it crashes on top of her dead body. cheery!

except this is where it gets wild bc charlie proceeds to like. possess the puppet

possession is really complicated in this universe but basically there's no real way to communicate openly with people and the possesser might not even be aware of who or where they are or anything really but. yeah the lil girl def possesses the puppet

its after this that william starts killing kids for funsies. a lot of us presume that he saw the puppet getting possessed and was like "holy shit a way to bring crying kid back" but again he might've just decided this was fun

anyway he lures five kids into the Secret Freddy's Backroom That Is Not On The Maps by wearing the spring bonnie costume. after killing them he shoves them into the other animatronic suits (freddy, bonnie, chica, foxy, fredbear "golden freddy") and yeah they start gettin possessed

the fifth missing kid was stuffed in fredbear and here's where it gets veeery theoretical cause we dont have straight confirmation of this but just some theories. it's VERY likely that crying child was also haunting fredbear at this point, and shoving another kid in there got two kids haunting the same bitch and it causes fredbear (golden freddy) to be really fucking weird and glitchy and eldritch or w/e. anyway you dont have to worry about that rn cause golden freddy doesnt show up much they're too busy ascending or smth

now this is where the lore gets confusing-- the first game claims that after the last two were lured, someone was caught on camera, arrested and charged. however we know for a fact willie-boi wasnt caught so either 1) this got retconned when cawthon decided to actually make lore, 2) he wasnt convicted and somehow still kept a hold on the fazbear empire during this, or 3) a lot of us theorize that henry was framed for the crimes and thats why he disappears from the timeline until the sixth game. cause yeah he disappears from the timeline until the sixth game. personally i believe the third it makes a lot of sense but yeah willie-boi stops killing at about five kids

anyway will is going full scientist with all these animatronics and he's like. ripping parts off them and putting them on other animatronics to see what happens. we THINK. again this is really vague but this is just kinda the most logical explanation here.

anyway this is what happens in fnaf2 and what it does is like. split the souls and shit. and he's like "oh this is sick" except this makes all the suits act erratic as hell and very angry towards adults (theyre cool with kids tho) and eventually one of them causes the infamous Bite of 87. we're not entirely sure what it was but one of the animatronics bit off the frontal lobe of someone in 1987. this caused this location to get shut down and willie boi just puts the pieces back on the og animatronics and is like "well shit what do we do now boys"

FNAF5: Sister Location

anyway so this is where we think elizabeth dies in the timeline. william makes these things called the "funtime animatronics"-- we know they are made after a fnaf location shuts down, though it's not specified which. these animatronics are built SPECIFICALLY to kidnap children. ballora is built as a distraction for parents, the other two are built to only move when not seen, and then Circus Baby™ has an arm that can grab kids and drag thtem into her until willie lets em out. she is programmed to only do this when a child is alone in the room so william tells elizabeth "do not go see baby when you are alone in the room"

so elizabeth is like 6 and she goes to see baby when she is alone in the room and baby grabs her but the arm is fucked up and the kid dies p badly

funtime's location is then immediately closed due to "gas leaks" and william rents out the funtimes for parties. at the same time he starts shoving some haunted parts into the funtime animatronics to see what happens. we THINK.

important location here btw is the "scooping room." it's actually very good horror but basically it's a bitch that is supposed to rip the endoskeletons out of the suit whenever theyre malfunctioning. super smart idea that will cause no nightmares going forwards.

anyway the animatronics all kinda know that william killed them so after a while (a few years??? who knows) they start trying to kill him and he's like "hmm. i cannot go into this bunker anymore. let me send michael, my last surviving kid who i hate." this is where michael, now an adult, re-enters the timeline.

mikey boy is told by his dad that he can bring his baby sis back to life if he goes down into this bunker and does some shit. michael is like "oh sweet" bc honestly he probably still feels guilty about literally killing his bro and so he goes down to the bunker.

the animatronics eventually tell him "go into the scooping room it'll be totes mcgotes" and when he gets there he finds out that the animatronics have killed all the other employees, scooped themselves, and fused their endoskeletons into one conglomerate called ennard

ennard is like "yeah we cant escape here cause they just bring us back so we're gonna use you as a skinsuit k thnx" and they scoop him and use him as a skinsuit

it's really good horror i promise

BUT this turned out to be a bad plan because Humans Decay so after like a week ennard gets puked up by the MikeSuit and escapes into the sewers.

here, meanwhile, is where mike pulls a reverse uno card and possesses his own decaying corpse

LIKE A FUCKING BADASS

he then calls up his dad and is like "hey dad :) elizabeth's fine now :) BUT :) they fucking killed me :) because they thought i was you :) you sure sent me down here to die huh :) anyway :) im gonna come find you :) you have a ten minute head start start running :)"

actor really fucking sold that monologue too ngl

so he's like. PISSSSSSED and rightfully so he is walking around in his own corpse. so he goes to find his dad

Backstory/FNAF3

this is about when peepaw willie goes back to the original fnaf location (we THINK) and is like "ok im just gonna take apart all the animatronics and do something with these"

only when he destroys the suits the missing kids' ghosts show up and spook him. so this guy who's been studying ghosts is like "oh fuckshit there's ghosts here" and tries to hide in the spring bonnie suit. only he laughs and this causes the springlocks to malfunction and FUCKING VIOLENTLY KILL HIM. get springlocked idiot

except then HE possesses the spring bonnie suit and this is springtrap. but also he's in a super secret back room while this happens so he is trapped there for a while

FNAF6

so ennard, michael and william are fuckin around for a couple years. at some point ennard decides that elizabeth is kinda a freak actually and kicks her out of the hivemind so she just rebuilds herself a circus baby suit and keeps wanderin around so now we got four bitches doing who knows what

eventually it's been 30 years since the last freddy's closed and someone opens up a haunted house parody of it. mike goes to work there as a security guard* and guess what they found springtrap and bring him to the attraction thinking he's just an animatronic. after five nights of fucking with him mike sets the place on fire to try and finally kill his dad fr. it does not work

*note that this isnt confirmed to be michael but we kinda. all know it's probably him. it really seems to be him

anyway then michael finds out that an actual fazbear's is opening and needs an owner so he goes and becomes owner of the restaraunt. while some guy on a cassette tape is giving him tutorial instructions he sets up the place and also collects several animatronics. these are:

scraptrap (peepaw post-fire and really pissed)

scrapbaby (elizabeth now thinking that maybe if she kills things her dad will pay attention to her)

molten freddy (remains of ennard still not entirely sure what's going on)

lefty (a bear solely built to capture the puppet, who was still fuckin around the fnaf2 location i guess. anyway now the puppet is here thats important)

so after our five nights scrapbaby comes on the speaker system and is like "omg dad if we kill people will you love me. we're gonna kill soooo many people it's my passion actually" and that's when the cassette tutorial guy interrupts her

and he just goes "yeah. you're not doing that"

anyway he's like "hi guys. you remember me??? henry??? from 30 years ago?? i owned half this business? you killed my daughter and stuffed her soul in a puppet? lmao yeah i literally lured you all here and you came like the fucking idiots you are. im setting the place on fire, we're all gonna die and go to heaven. except for YOU, WILL. you are not going there. lmao bye" and he sets the place on fire and they all burn. it's more epic when he says it tbh

now henry mentions that he had an escape route ready for the building owner but he figured out the owner was michael and was like "i feel like you wanna stay and burn with us" and michael's like "fuck yeah"

you might think that wraps up the story nicely but OH NO THERE'S MORE

Ultimate Custom Night

see, the next game is ultimate custom night where you can choose which animatronics hunt you and their level of difficulty. it is through hidden messages and shit that we find out that ucn is, canonically, william being tortured in hell. which is sick af

anyway the tormentor is a spirit labelled "the vengeful spirit" in the files, and "the one you should not have killed" by the animatronics. we sometimes hear either a light voice behind the other animatronic lines (could be either a woman with a light voice, a little girl, or a little boy), and the pic that sometimes shows up as a hallucination is a distorted photo of scott cawthon's son. we know for a FACT this spirit is someone from the fnaf6 fire cause they reference the fire more than once while poking willie with a stick. it's probably not elizabeth cause she was just tryin to get her dad's attention. it's not charlie/puppet bc one of her lines is like "ffs just stay out of my way for ONCE." we also know for a fact it's not henry cause they were like "henry sure tried to release us huh. not happening im not letting you go that easily bitch haha" so that narrows it down to michael and the missing kids

now here's the thing.

the vaaaaast majority of the fandom is convinced that the vengeful spirit is cassidy, the missing child that was stuffed inside golden freddy with cc. this is because golden freddy is in a looot of ultimate custom night and if you beat the hardest mode you just get a quick cutscene of him glitching and then everything fades to black

however. i have seen legiterally no convincing evidence that this is the case. all we know about cassidy is she is the golden freddy missing kid and was talking to cc through the logbook. and we BARELY know this. in the alternate universe book she first showed up in (the silver eyes) she wasn't even the golden freddy kid. people point out a similar situation to her and cc in fazbear frights where one of the kids was tormenting william (stitchwraith) but that's literally a whole separate universe and completely separate characters with separate backstories and personalities

there's a sprite in security breach who fights glitchtrap (explained below) who was named in the files as "cassidy" so ppl point to that but 1) they changed that name after people made a deal out of it, 2) that could mean literally anything, 3) the protag of the next game was named "cassie" and her story kinda paralleled the sprite's first game so uuhhhh anyway

honestly i think it's WAY more likely the vengeful spirit is mr michael "i'm going to come find you and set you on fire twice" afton, using his childhood likeness to fuck with his dad. this is strengthened by one of the easter egg cutscenes in ucn, where the vengeful spirit talks to a benevolent spirit who tells them to "leave the demon to his demons. there is nothing for you here." the audio in the background is someone distortedly screaming "HENRY" and "MICHAEL"

one of the animatronic lines also says "is this a prison for you or for me? perhaps both" implying that the vengeful spirit feels like they belong in hell, which would fit with mike's "i killed my brother" self-loathing. the golden freddy glitch could very easily be his mental anguish as well as william's, with the optional cutscene telling us that while michael is self-harming by torturing his dad in hell, he has the ability to move on and find peace if he can forgive himself. honestly i really like that open ending there

another point towards "vengeful mike" theory is that we play as him for most of the games (definitely 5 and 6, most likely 1 and 3, some theorize 4) and so him being the vengeful spirit is way more emotionally impactful than "random kid #5"

however every time i bring this up to the fnaf fandom they get really really pissy at me because y'all love ur angry lil girl cassidy headcanons and honestly that is completely fair i also love angry lil girls. im just saying this bc we're going over whats canon rn and i firmly believe in vengeful mike (thank @birdsareblooming for that) but yknow. cassidy is also fun as hell

i wrote a whole essay on this btw these are just the cliffnotes. do you guys wanna see the essay

anyway that's where the afton story ends but OHHH NO MR CAWTHON CANNOT STOP

if you just want a quick catchup before the movie you can stop here but anyway. let's talk mimicry

THE GLITCH STORY

the games coming out recently are kinda a sequel-story and bc theyre still coming out we are still very confused about what the fuck is canon and what is not so this one will be a lot more guessing. i digress let's talk about

Help Wanted

so back on earth, it's the 2020s-2030s. turns out the fazbear company is still functional and they're like "well shit guys what the FUCK do we do about all of That"

so they decide they need a brand cleansing and what they do is they secretly hire an "indie game developer" to make the fnaf games in-universe, to make light of the tragedies and make people take them less seriously. they pretend to have beef with this indie dev but eventually put all of his games into a VR game as a show of "good faith." somehow this actually does work in revitalizing the brand image

also sidenote but the books imply that the indie dev was kidnapped and gaslit into making the games but thats not important

now see there's a glitch in the game and the beta-tester jeremy mentions it and then gets increasingly withdrawn and obsessive. because it turns out there is a Bitch in here

now. the identity of the Bitch is uh. controversial in the fandom rn. i will say for clarity that i am in Party Two and will probably be biased towards that but here's the thing. the Bitch is either:

a digital upload of william afton's soul (somehow escaping hell)

THE MIMIC

Help Wanted Interlude: The Mimic

see, the other books (silver eyes, fazbear frights) are set in a parallel universe-ish to the books, similar rules and worldbuilding but cawthon can fuck around all he wants with no consequences. there were charliebots and springtrap mpreg at one point it was nuts. but the thing is right now they're kinda trying to tell us that the current series, tales from the pizzaplex, is game-canon. god only knows if they'll stick to that so some people think the books are in the game's universe, others think they're parallels to the games and not 1-1 exact much like the others

but anyway they give us crucial lore on The Mimic so here we go

some guy named edwin (some think he's a parallel to henry or william, but rn we're just gonna assume he's canon) is a single dad to a toddler. however he's working for fazbear making all these animatronics and he's sooo busy and needs something to distract the toddler so he creates a fucked up nightmare animatronic called The Mimic, whose programming is extremely basic: "copy whatever you see being done"

the toddler actually loves the fucked up nightmare animatronic and teaches him to play patty-cake and carry around stuffed animals or w/e. anyway then the toddler runs out into the street and gets hit by a car

edwin is still grieving and the mimic comes up carrying the toddler's stuffed animal and still copying him and when the mimic that edwin programmed to copy things is still copying things edwin snaps and just beats the fuck out of it bc he needs a grief outlet. he then abandons the thing but however the mimic has just learned Violence

some employees come by to see where edwin's animatronics are and the mimic just starts killing all of them bc. well. it's supposed to copy things. it will copy things

there's a BIG GAP here in what happens to it next but it disappears for the next 30 years. however it is heavily, HEAVILY implied that it witnessed at least one of the missing children incidents

fazbear actually has a Lot of mimic endoskeletons but bc they start copying violent shit they shut them all down. however they all run on the same program, "mimic1" and fazbear keeps that tech around cause you know it could be helpful

Back to Help Wanted

now here is where the "we only THINK this is canon we dont knkow yet" comes in

back to the vr game, they are just shoving random old pieces of code in there to speefd up the process of making the game cause capitalism doesnt like long development times. this puts the mimic1 program into the program and it immediately sees All Of Afton's Crimes In 4K. it decides "oh yeah i can mimic this but i should probably get a physical body in order to do that"

so beta tester jeremy sees the mimic program, which takes the form of Spring Bonnie Suit. this is Glitchtrap

now keep in mind that some people do still believe that all this aint happenin and the spring bonnie glitch is just william. again i personally believe the mimic cause it makes more sense than "william escaped hell somehow" but w/e

anyway, glitchtrap is fuckin around. it tries to possess beta tester jeremy and in order to stop it, jeremy does the sensible thing and cuts his own face off

so glitchtrap is like "hmm. that didn't work out" and decides to go for the more subtle approach. the next beta tester, currently unnamed, starts recording tapes inside the game to send to the next beta tester so they dont fuck with glitchtrap. glitchtrap however seals itself inside the tapes so that when the beta testers try to delete it, it'll instead be inside the tapes and cant be removed lmao. it then "mimics" tape girl's voice and adds a last tape saying "let him possess you its ok i promise"

it also mimics her intro of "hello can you hear me" in the one time it speaks so. mimic

anyway the next beta tester is this gal named vanessa and she gets possessed like suuuper quickly and glitchtrap is like "oh fucking FINALLY"

Security Breach Therapy Tapes

vanessa's acting weird at work so company requires her to go to therapy, however she has the same therapist as Another Patient. this patient will be named later however right now we're calling them Patient 46. they do not talk but have the same therapist as Vanessa and is creepy about it. anyway whenever a therapist prods too much into either Vanessa or P46's life, or discovers them fucking with fazbear tech, the therapist mysteriously goes missing and shows up later dead and mangled by machinery

they go through like five of these bitches at least, but it's clear P46 is another bitch possessed by glitchtrap but they're like more possessed than vanessa is so glitchtrap likes them better

BUT THAT'S ALL BORING, WE'VE GOT A PIZZAPLEX NOW!!!

Security Breach

fazbear opens a giant 80s-style mall with a ton of attractions like disneyland or w/e and call it the Mega Pizzaplex. There's state-of-the-art animatronics in here that are basically sentient ai. they might be possessed but we're not actually sure rn they might just be advanced robots

they start with "glamrock" freddy, bonnie and chica, along with roxy wolf instead of foxy. we're not sure why rn. anyway at some point something suspicious happens and bonnie is found mangled and he's replaced with montgomery gator, a c-list animatronic they had to run the golf course. he doesnt seem to take the spotlight well and has started breaking things but its probably fine

anyway they eventually realize they can automate the staff and stop paying human beings and they jump on that cause they love cutting costs. they've got staffbots everywhere except for ONE person- vanessa, who is hired as the security guard. we find a note saying that her interviewer found her too inexperienced for the position, but someone "very" high up in the company pushed her into the role. this is implied to be glitchtrap taking over the systems

so vanessa and P46 are shoving glitchtrap into the systems because, well, guess what? the pizzaplex is built on top of the fnaf6 location. the one where henry set them all on fire, and they're trying to do some sort of shit with the burnt remains of springtrap. if you believe in william!glitchtrap he's trying to get his body back; if you believe in mimic!glitchtrap he's trying to fuse himself to afton's corpse in order to gain a corporeal form. it also helps that there is The OG Mimic Endoskeleton in this area (its explained in the books im not going into it) but it's pretty fuckin damaged so they gotta spend some time fixing it before fusing it with peepaw's corpse

but the night they're supposed to do that, something goes wrong: a child is loose in the pizzaplex

glamrock freddy had a malfunction onstage, and when he wakes up in his room, there is a child hiding in his stomach compartment (used for oversized piñatas and cakes). this child is named gregory and he looks suspiciously like the crying child and we dont have an explanation for that but no, matpat, he's not a robot, it's probably just symbolism

anyway gregory actually has like very little memory of what's going on and barely remembers his own name but he says that vanessa the security guard is trying to fuckin kill him so he needs to get tf out of the pizzaplex. freddy's like "well you're shit out of luck cause the doors close and seal until 6am but that's fine we can make it til then" and gregory's like "fucking JOY"

long story short gregory has to run around the pizzaplex while every animatronic but freddy is trying to kill him. freddy is not trying to kill him bc his malfunction caused him to enter Safe Mode and it turns out that Safe Mode is safe from the glitchtrap virus. everyone else, however, gets glitchtrapped and is trying to kill this kid

you dont find out why until like laaaate in the game and even THEN you're confused until one of the goosebumps-knockoff short stories confirms a thing, and that thing is:

gregory is patient 46

oh shit

turns out gregory was possessed by glitchtrap for FUCK knows how long and was used as its body for like the entire time. and when he eventually wakes up un-possessed (no idea how that happened) he has no memory of whats going on at ALL and is understandably fucking terrified. doesnt remember being possessed or killing ppl or anything he just wakes up and runs. glam freddy likely malfunctioned cause glitchtrap was like "oh my god go GET that stupid kid" and glam freddy was like "but???? protecc????" and entered safe mode

so gregory eventually fuckin DEMOLISHES all the other animatronics and uses their parts to upgrade freddy. freddy is like "hey where'd you get these parts" and gregory's like "uhhhhhhhhh dont worry about it" "hey where are my friends" "DONT WORRY ABOUT IT"

while this is happening, a possessed vanessa is in a bunny suit calling herself vanny and also trying to kill him. this is just as confusing to us as it is to you

anyway there are six endings to security breach. according to the most recent game, there is a chance that two of them are canon. WE DO NOT KNOW which of the two is canon. these are the endings:

Princess Quest Ending: greg and freddy try to confront vanny and she gets freddy ripped apart by staffbots. gregory then finds an arcade game in her room and plays and beats it which sets her soul free (presumably he knew how to do this cause he's remembering bits and pieces of being possessed??? idk). anyway once the game is beat she is unpossessed and takes gregory and freddy's decapitated head out of the pizzaplex

Burntrap Ending: gregory and freddy avoid vanny and go to the fnaf6 basement where freddy starts acting all fucked up and then thtey find the Springtrap corpse, now Burntrap (fused with the mimic? glitchtrap? yknow). it tries to kill them so you have to Boss Fight everything and then set him on fire again. THEN a tangled mess of animatronic wires with a funtime freddy head (remains of ennard???) shows up and drags him off. again, just as confusing for us as it is for you. freddy and gregory escape. no idea where vanessa is

ONE of these is canon. we do not know which. this is making the fanbase super chill and normal /lying

Evidence for Princess Quest: in ruin, we see a headless glamrock freddy in the exact same area he is in pq. we also have no sign of vanny trying to help glitchtrap. you can collect gregory's fanart of his own game and pq is the only one he didn't draw. princess quest arcade game has sword sticking out of it

Evidence against Princess Quest: aforementioned headless freddy is labelled a prototype on his foot and we know for a fact that our freddy does not have that stamp. he also has a gift inside his stomach when freddy gave his stomach gift to gregory already (and it was a diff color). the pq arcade game has sword sticking out of it BUT that could symbolize the princess being skewered, and surrounding the game is art of the escaped glitchbunny

Evidence for Burntrap: labelled as "true ending" in the files, only ending to be FULLY animated instead of switching to comic form and also only one with boss fight, the tangled animatronic mess is definitely canon (we see it, gregory draws it so he saw it too which means he went in the basement where it was), while vanny isn't seen her grafitti is everywhere and appears to be recent

Evidence against Burntrap: the "true ending" label, like cassidy, could mean literally fucking anything. also if vanessa is still under his control why the fuck doesnt she help him where is she

so yeah we're having fun figuring THAT out

Ruin (the end so far thank god)

the most recent game we got, then, was the dlc for the above game, this dlc is called ruin. a few months after this, a lil girl named cassie wanders into the ruins of the pizzaplex cause her best friend gregory told her to meet him there. when she gets there she finds a walkie-talkie and he's like "girl im trapped under the pizzaplex you need to shut down the security and come get me" and she's like "sounds great"

she finds vanny's mask and puts it on and enters an AR world where a glitched bunny is trying to kill her (this one isnt glitchtrap actually) and a friendly little AR bear is telling her to keep going she's doing a great job (this one IS glitchtrap probably)

anyway it turns out her backstory is her dad worked for the pizzaplex and she had a birthday party there with her Favorite Character Roxy and literally none of her friends showed up. she was sad about it until gregory showed up and became her friend. then gregory went missing and she was sad

anyway the last security node is favorite character Roxy and roxy recognizes her and is nice to her and its very sad

cassie eventually goes down to the fnaf6 basement and is like "ok gregory i opened the door are you okay" and PSYCH, IT'S NOT GREGORY

IT'S

THE

MIMIC

youtube

the mimic immediately tries to kill her bc it likes violence but roxy shows up to save her. the real gregory calls her on the walkie-talkie and is like "bITCH GET OUT OF THERE" and she's like "IM TRYING" and gregory's "friend" (whose pronouns are very specifically blurred out, so it could be either freddy or vanessa) uses the building maps to help her to an elevator. however when she gets in the elevator gregory's like "yeahhhhh sorry we cant let you be followed :(" and drops the elevator, trapping her there

it's like a 99% chance this last bit was not gregory but it was the mimic, seeing as gregory is not even in the pizzaplex and the mimic lost cassie right next to the elevator fuse box that it could easily rip out. so you know

anyway we end with either roxy finding cassie or the mimic using roxy's voice finding her so this kid's fucked lmao

also other questions about if mimic is burntrap is that we see the mimic p naked in this game and not in a fun corpse skinsuit so where did bunny go??? however i will also mention that there is a secret ending that shows us that the FUCKING SCOOPER is here so. personally i think that answers that question. get scooped idiot

oh also if you noticed "hey 'cassie' sounds a lot like 'cassidy,' the golden freddy kid who was sharing a body with the crying child, who has a similar design to gregory," congrats! we've noticed that too! we have no fucking idea what it means! :D

and thaaaaat's five nights at freddy's

that didnt take too long did it

#five nights at freddy's #fnaf #fnaf movie #mine

Chapter Six: The Start Of Something Terrible

February 1991

You sat at the restaurant with your hands in your lap and your anxiety through the roof. Your meals had both been eaten and now you were killing time, neither of you ready to go home quite yet.

You had to admit that you were a little rusty with the dating game, the last actual date you had been on had been over a year ago. It was more of a photo opportunity than anything else.

It was only a week ago that Collin had sent you the flowers and note following the award show asking you out on a date.

He had managed to snag a table at one of the best restaurants in LA even though it was short notice. You didn’t ask him how he didn’t, but you guessed it probably cost a pretty penny.

The lights were dimmed, romantic. The table you had was secluded towards the back in a private room designated for just the two of you.

When you had arrived, there was a line of paparazzi waiting as soon as you stepped out of the car. You weren’t sure how they knew you’d be here since you didn’t even tell Margie what you were doing tonight. You shielded your face with your bag when you got out, hoping that would keep them from getting any good pictures.

You felt guilty as you sat here in a pretty dress, laughing at all of Collins jokes. You hadn’t told Eddie about the date at all when he left your hotel room a week ago. He had called you earlier, while you were getting ready. You just told him that you didn’t feel good and were going to bed for the night.

It felt bitter on your tongue to lie to him. It felt like you were doing something wrong.

But you weren’t, really. You were an adult having dinner with another adult. Eddie didn’t need to know about every single move you made.

You think that maybe you felt bad about this whole dating thing because when you met Collin at Eddie’s show, Eddie had explicitly warned you away from him.

But Collin had been nothing but a gentleman since you’d been at this table with him.

He said all the right things, telling you how beautiful looked as soon as he laid eyes on you.

You had to admit that made you feel good since you put extra time into your appearance today. It wasn’t often that you got to do your own makeup and hair anymore but you felt like you did a good job.

Collin took a sip of his wine, the sleeves of his white dress shirt were rolled up to display the tattoos that covered his forearms.

The tattoos reminded you of Eddie and you had to yell at yourself in your head to stop thinking about your best friend while you were on a date with another man.

“Where do you see yourself in ten years?” Collin asked suddenly, leaning forward so both of his forearms were against the white linen tablecloth.

His eyes looked at you with a heat you weren’t used to seeing. Yeah, men hit on you sometimes but not because they found you attractive but because you were placed on this pedestal just because of the job you did.

The way he looked at you made you flustered.

You hummed as you picked up your wine glass, twirling the liquid in the glass as you thought. You leaned back in your chair, needing some distance so you could breathe.

“I think I want to be behind the scenes more. I don’t think I want to be in front of the camera as much but behind them. Maybe directing or producing movies instead of starring in them,” you admitted.

It wasn’t an idea that you had ever spoken out loud to anyone before. Margie would have a heart attack if she heard those words leave your lips. It was something you had thought about recently.

The art of making movies wasn’t something you truly appreciated until you moved out here and got to see it first hand.

Collin looked surprised at your words. “And why is that?” He asked.

You shrugged. “I don’t really like attention. It makes me uncomfortable.”

Collin laughed at this, setting his wineglass down.

“I think you’re the only celebrity I have ever met that doesn’t like attention.”

You nodded silently, unsure of what to say.

Collin’s gaze turned smoky as he kept his eyes on you.

“What about my attention?”

“I don’t understand.”

“Do you like it when I pay attention to you?” His voice smothered you when it came out. It was thick, raspy, and full of want. You had never felt tension like this by just sitting at a dinner table with a person.

You shied away from his gaze for a second, processing his words. Your body heated and your stomach fluttered as you came to the realization that, yes, you did like Collin paying attention to you.

You liked it a lot.

You straightened your back and looked him straight in the eyes. You gave him a slow nod, making sure he could see each movement of your head as you bobbed it up and down in agreement.

Collins tongue darted out to lick across his lips. He fished his wallet out his back pocket, pulling out a few hundreds and tossing them on the table.

He stood, coming around to your side of the table and holding out a hand for you to take.

When he pulled you up, he leaned down and spoke softly into your ear. You could feel the stubble of his chin brush against your skin and it made your arms break out into goosebumps.

“I don’t think I’m ready for this night to end. Are you?”

You knew what he was really asking. Now was the pivotal moment, the time that you made an important choice. It felt like you were making a decision that weighed heavier than just whether or not you were sleeping with him or not tonight.

It felt like whatever you decided was going to change the course of your future.

You held onto his hand a little tighter, weaving your fingers between his. They weren’t calloused like Eddie’s, which was strange since Collin was a rockstar too. Maybe he just didn’t play guitar as much as Eddie did.

You brushed off the thoughts as you gave Collin a small smile and let him take you back to his house.

March 1991

The phone rang again and Miles gave you an exasperated look over to where you laid on the couch painting your toenails. It was late now, the sun going down well over an hour ago and turning into night. You were staying up from when Collin finished up at the studio and would stop by your house.

It had been two weeks of the non-stop calling after the tabloids broke your date with Collin. Eddie had seen it, or maybe heard of it from someone else, you weren’t sure. But he had been trying to get in touch with you ever since.

It was easy to ignore. Especially since Eddie was out of town, playing a benefit concert in Washington and then hopping over to New York to make a guest appearance at a fashion show. You didn’t have to worry about him just showing up at your house when he was states away from you.

You wondered how he found the time to call you nonstop when he was so busy and when his schedule looked like this it was normal to not hear from him for long periods of time.

The night at Collins had gone amazing after your date. It went so well that everynight Collin was either at your place or you were at his.

You received flowers from him everyday, a fresh bouquet delivered to your doorstep every morning when you woke up. You’d find notes hidden around, reminding you how beautiful, smart and funny you were.

So, things were going really well.

It was nice to be wanted and desired. Collin dropped everything yesterday just to hang out with you. It wasn’t something that you had ever experienced before.

It made you rethink the other relationships in your life.

Hence, why you were now ignoring Eddie until you could figure out your feelings.

You just needed to figure out a way to keep both Collin and Eddie in your life simultaneously. Eddie would complain at first but you knew he would get over it.

You had intentionally avoided speaking about Eddie in front of Collin. You mentioned him once, just a story from your youth where Eddie happened to be involved and Collin got annoyed that you even brought him up. Since then, you hadn’t even uttered Eddie’s name. You didn’t want to ruin you and Collin's relationship when it was only the beginning.

“I’m just saying you should probably answer,” Miles sang from where he sat on the recliner, going through some paperwork.

Miles had turned into more than an assistant at this point. Your employer/employee relationship had turned into more of a friendship. That man had seen you at your worst at the beginning of his job with you and it had made you two close.

You put on another coat of pink paint on your big toe, worrying if Collin would think it was too girly.

You rolled your eyes light-heartedly. You knew at some point you would have to answer. You just weren’t sure what to say when you did.

“Roll your eyes all you want to but what if it’s an emergency. Isn’t his uncle elderly?” Miles tsked as he flipped a paper over, pretending to read the back of it.

This made you perk up slightly.

“I wouldn’t say Wayne is elderly and none of his voicemails have said anything about an emergency,” you explained, trying to fight the anxiety at the thought of you ignoring Eddie when something was seriously wrong.

“No. They’ve just said, ‘We need to talk. It’s important. You need to call me back as soon as you get this.’ Yeah, doesn’t sound serious at all.” You had to admit Miles’ imitation of Eddie was pretty spot on.

The phone rang again and Miles gave you a look that told you that you better get up and get it this time.

You groaned as you got up from the plush couch. You took each step to where the phone hung in the kitchen slowly. You were cursing the fact that you still had a small house despite Margie begging you to get a newer and bigger one every time she came over. It was too short of a walk from the living room to the phone. You couldn’t put it off any longer.

You picked it up mid ring, looking over to Miles for help.

He waved his hands in the air frantically, signaling you to start speaking.

“Hello?” Eddie’s voice came through the line. He sounded upset, frantic. He had probably been nervous when he couldn’t reach you and it made you feel sick with guilt.

You weren’t sure where he was at the moment but you could hear people talking and laughing in the background as music played. Maybe he was at a party or something.

“Hey,” you said softly into the phone. You heard Eddie let out a breath of relief at the sound of your voice.

“Where the hell have you been?” He snapped, his tone sharp. You pulled the phone away from your ear and looked down at it, wondering why he was speaking to you this way.

“Excuse me?” You asked, giving him another chance to change his tone.

“I’ve been calling you for weeks and you haven’t called me back. I’ve been talking to Margie and she said you’ve been home and not doing anything so why have you been ignoring me?” He asked accusingly.

Your hand clenched onto the phone so tight that your fingers began to ache. You had spoken to him and Margie about talking about you behind your back before.

“Maybe I just haven’t felt like talking, Eddie,” you bit back.

“Oh? Why’s that? Because you’ve been running all over town with Collin Taser? I saw the damn photos,” Eddie barked.

“Why is it any of your damn business?!” You yelled.

“Because I told you that guy is no good!” Eddie yelled back. You heard the noises of the people in the background go silent, probably listening to every word he was saying.

“Really? Because he treats me pretty well. In the past few weeks he’s even treated me better and given me more attention than my best friend of the last thirteen years ever has,” you spat.

Eddie went silent for a moment but you could hear his angry breathing come through the line.

“You don’t mean that,” Eddie said, voice softer than it was a moment before.

“Oh, I mean it. I’m dead serious,” you admitted, anger still evident in your tone.

“Listen, why don’t we talk about this when I’m back in town? I know I’ve been busy but we both have and you can’t keep putting the blame on me.”

You laughed humorlessly into the phone.

“No. I actually don’t want you to call me or speak to me ever again,” you said, the finality of your words ringing clean.

You knew you meant what you said, and based on the silence on the other end, Eddie did too.

“You don’t mean that,” he whispered, the words leaving his lips for the second time during this conversation. So softly that you barely heard it.

You couldn’t let your voice crack. You couldn’t let him think you were being weak.

“I mean it,” was all you said.

“When he hurts you don’t come crawling back,” Eddie declared loudly.

You slammed the phone back onto the hook. You felt your shoulders rise and fall with each shaking breath you took.

Miles came up beside you, either to hug you or to keep you from collapsing. You weren’t sure.

You put a hand up, stopping him. You needed to do one more thing before you lost your nerve.

You dialed the number with each hard jab of your finger, listening, waiting for them to answer once it started to ring.

“Hey, this is Margie,” she greeted brightfully on the other end, blissfully unaware of the mood you were in.

“If you talk about me or even mention my name to Eddie Munson ever again then you’re fired,” was all you needed to say.

You hung up in the middle of Margie’s confused stammering before turning and sobbing into Miles’ arms.

—

September 1991- Six Months Later

You sat in the tall chair, the lights of the vanity shining brightly into your sensitive eyes.

Margie sat behind you on the sofa, watching a talk show while the makeup artist smeared thick concealer under your eyes.

You were getting ready to go onto an interview with your co stars from your most recent film. You were actually excited for this one. There were plans for a sequel in the works already based on the reaction from fans so far, and it wasn’t even out yet.

Your hand trembled slightly, while you reached for the glass of water that sat in front of you on the counter, between all of the pallets of makeup that the artist took one look at you and decided to pull out. You were careful to use your left hand to grab the water, not your right. That hand would stay hidden under the apron she had tied around you to protect your dress from any spilling of makeup.

The water felt good on your scratchy throat.

You nearly choked when a familiar voice came from the TV behind you. A voice that you hadn’t heard in the last six months since you last spoke.

The glass of water tumbled out of your weak grip, landing on the floor with a crash. Miles was there in a heartbeat, scooping up pieces of glass with his bare hands.

You made eye contact with the Eddie on the TV through the mirror. He looked thinner than the last time you saw him but you looked away before you could get a better look. It hurt too much. There was too much confusion there for you to focus on today.

“Change it,” you demanded, your voice coming out raspy from how raw your throat was.

Margie moved immediately from the couch, scrambling for the remote that had gotten lost in the couch cushions.

You closed your eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.

You hadn’t spoken to Eddie since that final phone call in March when you told him not to talk to you ever again.

After that, it wasn’t long before you moved in with Collin, taking a new phone number and address. If Eddie wanted to reach you he wouldn’t even know where to start.

You think that’s what hurt the most, the not knowing if he had tried to reach out to you or not. Did he even miss you? Not that you cared or anything.

Because why would you care? You were successful. You were in a relationship. You were happy.

You finally opened your eyes, to meet the worried stare of the makeup artist.

“I’m sorry,” you apologized softly.

She nodded, offering you a soft smile.

You the tear that escaped under your eye gingerly, careful not to wipe the makeup off the tender skin there.

The makeup artist noticed the skin of your wrist, the purples and blacks of the bruise there that your bracelet didn’t do as well as covering as you thought it would. It was the perfect match to his hand. You could almost feel the tight grip again, hear the screaming as he got into your face.

It wasn’t the first but he promised it would be the last.

“Do you want me to cover that too?” She asked politely, already grabbing more concealer and mixing it with her brush and pallet like a true artist.

You nodded, offering a small smile as you held your wrist up for her to work her magic on.

You avoided the looks of Miles and Margie. You knew what those looks meant and you couldn’t stand their pity today. You didn’t need it.

You were happy.

You said the arcs of certain characters in TOH have an 'Us vs. Them mentality.' I take it that's because, as you say, the narrative pins the bad qualities of certain characters on separate parties (e.g. "Amity's flaws are only because of her mom"), but would you care to elaborate further on said mentality and how it sticks out to you in TOH?

So shockingly, not really. It plays into it but I am actually inherently talking about the same sort of mentality that Belos perpetuates but back onto Luz. After all, if you look at the main cast by even mid season 2 we have a problem forming. Eda: Has lost her criminal edge, has no personal interests, is defined by being nice in a way befitting Luz's worldview. Momma Eda.

Amity: No longer is studious and hard working but instead focuses more on her girlfriend and her nerdy interests. Is also now just nice. Was only shown genuine care by Luz, instead of just trying to fulfill her nerdy desires, once she finds out Amity is into Azura.

Lilith: Has turned into a nerd and given up on any ambitions that had led to her previous actions, becoming a nice cool aunt. Only now has Luz tried to form any relationship with her (admittedly, she didn't get many chances before now).

Hunter: Has only been being given kindness because he has shown a capacity for kindness that Luz only really started showing him, beyond not wanting him to die, once he showed he had a nerdy interest in wild magic.

Gus: Was a nerd from go and always nice, even if he could be slightly selfish.

Willow: By mid S2, is essentially out of the show for the past half season, has never had a strong personality and is just nice. Yes, she'll start her jock stuff soon... And never have a real conversation with Luz again, at least not until S3 maybe? So a full season where Luz and Willow, after Willow might have stopped being nerdy/an outcast, where Luz doesn't have an interest in her anymore.

And uh, just as a reminder to S3, Hunter gains a scifi interest post redemption and Luz explicitly listens to NOTHING her mother says to her during her big speech in For the Future until she reveals herself to be a secret nerd. At that point, suddenly Luz dials in.

For TOH, a show supposedly about the individual and self expression, characters either lose their personality and/or gain the personality that matches LUZ. There is less character variety in interests and personalities than even 90s cartoons much of the time by the end of TOH because these characters all lose so much of themselves fitting in with the good guys, especially the redeemed ones.

This is where your argument for this does come into play. I'll frame it as the fandom likes to with Amity: "She didn't have Luz in her life yet."

Amity is only a bitch while she is hanging out with the wrong crowd. Socialites, those with ambition and jocks. The Luz enters her life and despite the fact that the ONE time Luz ever calls Amity out for being a bitch being when Amity is being a bully to King and clearly trying to get a rise out of Luz, making that moment meaningless, that simple fact starts warping Amity. Starts making her turn back to her good, nerdy side. And because this is such an inherently good thing, there is no difficulty in doing this. She needs no motivation, no calling out, nothing. She just needs to desire to be like Luz/liked by Luz. She can discard her entire friend group and do things that should get her disowned with how evil Odalia is and face zero consequences because... I guess that's the power of becoming a nerd.

You are beyond reproach. You can only do good. Same goes for Hunter. Despite YEARS of potential propaganda and the like, Luz just getting into his life and admittedly jabbing at Belos/him a little, is all it takes for him to embrace the inherent goodness, displayed by his nerdiness about wild magic, and start becoming a better person. For this, he loses his home but that is only seen as a positive because indeed, he got away from those hostile that made him a bad person. He could now be a good person because he no longer had those influences and could embrace Luz's way of life.

With the show's themes, why is this the case? Shouldn't their base personalities be allowed to exist? Shouldn't a wide range of ideologies and the like be allowed since that is a part of self expression? Instead, when people don't like Luz approves, they are disapproved by Luz and either need to get the fuck out or conform.

And this is all without getting into how she becomes Jesus in the last episode...

None of this is intentional but if someone told me that the show felt hostile to them because they didn't consider themselves a nerd or because they tried to get somewhere in life, I wouldn't blame them. The show has a weirdly narrow belief in who is a good person. Who is allowed to exist in the main cast, a problem that cascades issues into a lot of its themes. I mean, this is the first show I've ever had to ask if character arcs are actually hurt the themes of the show because of this, a blog I sadly couldn't refind.

There is admittedly an element of this where I might not have thought about it without the fandom. Most people I know who are multi-fandom still agree that TOH is aggressive against others, even for a fandom. That it lashes out and blames others for its problems. Almost like a *gestures at the thesis*

And that doesn't help make any of this be less uncomfortable unfortunately. See you next tale.

In hazbin hotel, being Gay has no bearings on going to Hell or Heaven (the "vile and blasphemous" line was because Charlie is Lucifer's daughter) , so I don't think Vaggie would feel too weird about being attracted to women, especially once more openly gay, Trans etc people arrive.

For the first century and some of her life? Sure.

But I think she would be accepting of it in the last 80-90 years of her time in heaven, especially since the Sisterhood of the Exorcists is promoting a very violent mindset and killing sinners in secrets, it leave little room for interactions outside of the group, cue experimentations.

Also, considering how Agatha annoyed Lute for not being "proper" regarding the "out of wedlock baby" and single mom status, I think it would fuel her desire to accept Vaggie's gayness.

I can even see Lute appreciate how it can make Vaggie feel more like a part of the group on the more pragmatic side, or at least use it as an argument for people who are bothering her on it and that she won't just ignore or scare into silence.

I never really thought about that, but you do have a point. I think a lot of people assume Lute is homophobic (and maybe she is) because of her line about Charlie and Vaggie's relationship, and well as one of the comments about Angel in her solo during "You Didn't Know" but you could argue that, like you pointed out, her issue with Charlie and Vaggie dating could be more based on Charlie's status as a demon/Lucifer's daughter than them both being women. And the thing with Angel could just be a commentary on him being so willing to have what is implied to be casual sex in general, regardless of the gender of his partners. Obviously those are still not good views to have, but they are possibly alternatives.

I do think that Vaggie would still struggle a bit for a while, though part of it would be her just kind of making the wrong assumptions regarding why her mother was essentially judged behind her back? At least when she was young. Because she heard occasional whispers (and the one time she asked about her grandmother and why she'd never met her, Lute did explain that Agatha didn't like the fact that Lute wasn't married to Vaggie's father) where people would say pretty insulting things about her mother when Lute herself wasn't there to hear, regarding the fact that she wasn't even in an official relationship with, much less married to, Vaggie's father. And young Vaggie initially made the wrong assumption that the issue was more about the fact that her mother wasn't in relationship with a man, period, rather than the truth, which is that the issue was that Lute was an unwed single mother by choice.

But Vaggie did likely figure it out more as she got older and especially after officially joining the Exorcists....at least in part due to the reasons you pointed out. With how secretive the Exorcists are supposed to be, while it's probably not impossible that some of them have partners outside of the group who just are told cover stories for what they do for work and/or what they're doing when they're gone during Extermination Day, a lot of them likely just have relationships among each other to avoid any of that. And in my AU at least, while Charlie was Vaggie's first serious girlfriend, I will say her first kind of trying out a relationship with anyone was likely with another Exorcists, probably one who joined around the same time she did. She likely did still feel weird about it for a while, and didn't fully realize she was a lesbian until a fair bit later.

Lute likely was more accepting of Vaggie's sexuality than some might expect, partially out of spite regarding how hurt she was at how her own parents, especially her mother, who she had been very close to before Vaggie was born, basically cut her out of their lives for her decision to raise Vaggie on her own. So while she obviously couldn't be as accepting as she wanted to tell herself she would be - she does still find the relationship between Vaggie and Charlie shameful, sadly - she is fully accepting of her daughter being gay. Also helps that I might actually headcanon Lute as not actually being straight, but rather gray-ace or demi - she's pretty much only interested in Adam in regards to sex or romance (though the romance part even she's in denial about).

Zoro x male reader headcanons

from my list on my profile :)

btw keep in mind there will be no ‘dom’ in this relationship for these headcanons. i have nothing against it as long as it’s still sfw so don’t be afraid to request that :).

zoro wouldn’t stand for a weak s/o

he doesn’t wanna have to worry for you

so if your weak he’ll make you train with him

and if your not ‘great! let’s spar!’

it doesn’t matter if you use swords or a weapons at all

yall gon spar.

y’all prob fight even more than him and sanji at this point

but not actually angry fight—spar fight

he’ll even teach you his no swords style if he has to 😭

also he’s not a huge cuddle bug or anything but he’s always warm

he’ll grunt if you snuggle up to him for warmth but won’t move you or anything

another thing—he always has your back

especially in fights

not really in petty arguments with other people tho

he might join in on it but not on your side

just to tease you

but you know he means no harm

except for with ero cook

then he’ll team up with you

😭

zoros love languages are quality time and acts of service for sure

zoros quality time looks like working out together,

trying to understand whatever hobbies you like

drinking contests

sitting in solidarity silence

and his acts of service is

saving your butt in battle

going shopping together

any little favor you need really

if your carrying something heavy and almost drop it he’s got you

he shows he cares in little ways like that

zoro is the one to tell it like it is in the straw hats

like he did when usopp left

and he won’t be afraid to call you out on your crap if your wrong

hes not trying to alienate your or something

he just wants you to realize what your doing and change to be a better person

youll have to stop him from getting into trouble btw

like the time he almost shanked charlos

and you always makes sure he doesn’t get lost :)

may or may not come of with nick names for you depending on what you look like/do a lot

like with sanji and ero cook

but they’re less insulting

if your a more excitable person he won’t mind same with being a chill person

hes indifferent about a lot of things

hes chill with 90% personalities and 100% of looks

the 10% of personality he doesn’t like is sanji’s

apologies to sanji kinnies :)

you and zoro kinda always end up going wherever the other goes

like y’all are always together but like not on purpose

it’s cute to robin and nami

zoro would open up to you about his past a good amount of months into the relationship

but it won’t be at random

itll probably happen after you open up to him about yours

then he starts thinkin

’should i tell him?’

he decides he’ll take the opportunity when it comes to him

it was a much needed conversation that let him get a lot off his chest

especially about kuina

he never directly told anyone about who she was

he always just says i promised someone

or his childhood friend

but he never went into depth

which is just even more confirmation that he really loves and trusts you

communication with him is actually pretty good

some topics might get skimped though

if he does something you don’t like subconsciously

dont hesitate to come to him about it

it won’t offend him

he’s a tough cookie anyways he’ll be alright

plus he’s all about betterment

so he’s open to criticism as longs as your being genuine and not sarcastic

he’s also most likely to take it if it’s from you

yall trust each other with y’all lives 100% on another note

if you wanna go on dates?

ya mean drinking contests?

nahh jk

but it won’t be anything sappy because he refuses to take any advice from love cook

just chillin somewhere peaceful on an island

hopefully you have navigation skills or at least not his sense of direction so y’all don’t get lost 😭

don’t let him lead btw

he’ll try to and insist he knows where he’s going

no he dont

stop him

you have to be stern or he’s going his way

hes kinda stubborn

you love that part of him too tho

💖

i’m proud with the way these came out!

i hope any guy that reads this enjoys because there is 100% a lack of male content- so here you are! :)

He loves you as much as he loves his cats. He doesn't show it so much in public because he's actually so shy. But when you are alone, he will never let you go. He will hold you close and tell you how much he loves you. He will kiss you until you can't breathe. He will make you feel like the only person in the world.

He is a shy man, but he is also a passionate man. He loves with his whole heart. He is loyal and faithful, he would do anything for you. If you are lucky enough to have him in your life, cherish him. He is a rare gem, he is the one.

He's very observant. He notices the little things that you do and say. He knows your quirks and your habits. He knows what makes you happy and what makes you sad. He knows you better than you know yourself. So if you think you can hide something from him, you're completely mistaken. You can't even try. He will see right through you. He will know what you're thinking and feeling, even if you don't want him to. There was a moment when you tried to do well and hide your sadness. You put on a brave face and pretended that everything was okay. But he could see right through you. He knew that you were hurting. He appeared in front of you with all your favorite things. He knew that you needed cheering up, so he brought you all the things that make you happy. He gave you your favorite food, your favorite movie, and your favorite book. He just wanted to see you smile again.

He can be a mother to you sometimes. He is caring and nurturing. He wants to take care of you and make sure you are safe and happy. He is always there for you, no matter what. But most of the time, he is just a giant baby. He wants your attention and needs you for his life to survive in this cruel world. He is always looking for someone to take care of him and make him feel safe.

He misses you, but he won't admit it. Instead, he uses his cats as an excuse to talk to you. He tells you how much they miss you, and how much he wishes you were there with them. But it's clear that he's really talking about himself, So next time he tells you that his cats miss you, just smile and say, "I miss you too." He'll deny it, but he'll know that you know the truth. And maybe, just maybe, he'll finally admit that he misses you too.

Arguments can be really bad sometimes, especially when he's feeling stressed. You both might scream at each other, and it might get to the point where he says something hurtful. He knows he was wrong to say it, and he didn't mean it. But in the heat of the moment, he might not be able to control himself. Don't worry, though. He will make it up to you. He will keep saying sorry until he feels like it's enough. He will show you how much he loves you, because you really are his everything.

He is the type of person who keeps his problems to himself. He doesn't like to burden others with his problems, and he prefers to deal with them on his own. However, with you, he is different. He is willing to share everything with you, because he knows that you will understand and that you will always have a solution to his problems. You are the one person he can trust with his innermost thoughts and feelings. You are the one person he can turn to when he is feeling lost or alone. You are the one person he can count on to always be there for him, no matter what. He is also there for you when you need him. He is a good listener, and he is always willing to offer support and advice. He is the perfect boyfriend, and you are lucky to have him.

I know I need to focus on my real life more than spending my time writing here. However, I enjoy my time on Tumblr a lot. What should I do?

in sync, hobie brown x rock angel! roxxi-coded! black fem reader hcs

warnings: fluffy kinda, but none

author’s note: congrats on 3k juice !!! ilysm and u so so so deserve it <3 original event post here / creator: @mypimpademia

you and hobie are the ultimate rockstar couple.

it seemed to be a match made in heaven when you both clicked instantly, with the same passion for creating music and touring the world. it wasn’t hard talking music with him since both of your music taste was drastically similar. with both of you loving rock, you both always had new recommendations for each other.

and because of your broad taste of music, you’re always recommending him new songs that weren’t particularly rock. it could be 90s gangsta rap, r&b, neo-soul, just really anything. you weren’t afraid to try new things so maybe hobie could too!

he still has a keen ear for music. so due to how close you both are and how close he is with the group because of you, he’s often at rehearsals with you guys, helping with things you guys could make better but if you ask him, he just there to see his girl in action.

hobie never misses your concerts. like ever. the only way he’d miss it is if he had some big emergency that he couldn’t possibly pass up but not much is more important than you. you always find yourself sneaking him backstage passes as well, not because he asked but why not for your biggest supporter ever?

regarding being your biggest supporter, he always reposts things on his instagram story about your band—always congratulating you on new collaborations or award nominations. he’s always ready to talk about people needing to buy new tickets for your upcoming shows.

hobie is always in your dressing room and just won’t get out when he’s supposed to. at first, you just let him in for some quality time because that’s honestly rare when it’s the touring season for the band. however, once it’s time for him to get out, he’s making excuses for him to stay. “y’know what. ‘m not even ‘ere.” “hobie, get out!”

and when it’s time for you to go onstage, he’s checking you for any type of thing that looks out of place. fluffing whatever hairstyle you have in, making sure you look ready for the lights that’ll be shining on you for the next 10-15 minutes. and before you go, he never fails to give you a kiss and a smack on the ass for “extra good luck,” in his words, i may add. but you loved him either way so maybe you allowed it even though you would yell at him for it. he always laugh because he knew that you weren’t serious and that was just a way of you being flustered.

arguments and conversations with him were never a common thing. if it was anything about the band and your music, you always put that before your relationship because it was your passion. but that didn’t mean your relationship problems didn’t interfere sometimes and it led you to take breaks to talk things out with him because you were never one to yell or get angry with him. you thought that problems could be conquered with a heart-to-heart conversation, and that applied especially to you and him.

putting the band over him was never a personal thing with him because he knew how much you valued your friendships and music. he just was aware that if he did anything wrong to the point where it would lead to your breakup—you would never stop making music with the girls. and that’s what he loved about you, you never let things hinder your success. fortunately, things have never gotten to that level and you’ll always know that hobie will be there with you every step of the way.

anyways if i'm going this deep in lemme share this teen mom Ashley fic idea i had i'd love feedback on the idea

this is completely unrelated to my other idea regarding this this is an entirely different can of worms i'm putting this under a readmore just bc it's a bit long and also filled with dead doves so only open and eat it at your own discretion

so basically the idea goes like this- when they were teenagers (her 14 and him 16) Andrew and Ashley got into some kind of big fight (still working on it) most likely due to him having a girlfriend in hs at the time. during this period, in an effort to make a point and piss him off, Ashley gets a boyfriend of her own (who just so happens to have messy black hair and green eyes wow what a coincidence) who was in a class with Andrew. some incident happens where Ashley "accidentally" leaves her phone with explicit texts on view (but also tis like the 90s so maybe i'll redo that) and Andrew talked with his classmate and then uh there was another second missing person, and after an intense argument Ashley and Andrew "slept in the same bed" and anyways a month later Ashley announces she's pregnant casually at the dinner table putting the pregnancy test she put right on it.

"Huh. Not the reaction I was hoping for."

"Forgive me for not being particularly fucking thrilled at the idea of being a grandmother at 32, Ashley."

"You know, if my kid has a kid at 15 and their kid ALSO has a kid at 15 you could be a great-great-grandma at only 75."

"Please shut the fuck up, Ashley."

and Andrew is in complete denial it is. it's been 6 years and every single person except Julia refuses to believe it isn't. at one point when Alexis "Alex" Graves is a baby she makes a comment she has her father's (green) eyes with a wink and grin at Andrew. during the Burial Route when Mrs. Graves is trying to plead with Andrew she finally says "... If you won't do it for yourself, do it for your ------------------" and it's like his brain physically blocks out any insinuation with he's the father with white noise. so he's been living as the kid's uncle officially and has no idea how to act around this kid most of the time.

Ashley is not a good mom by any means and has had CPS called on her more than once but incompetence won't remove the child entirely and she does like. actually love this kid but her obsession with Andrew is clearly more important to her, the fact this kid keeps him tethered to her even if he won't admit, and also because she spoils the kid however she can to try to prove she's a better mother just because her daughter is happier than she was, when learning Alex hit another kid to get their candy she was outright like fuck YEAH if you want something take it!!! girlboss gatekeep gaslight to this four year old and Andrew at least tried to teach the kid right from wrong in response. during her first birthday Mrs. Graves asked Ashley if she was gonna do anything and Ashley didn't see a point the kid is 1 they won't remember the birthday there's nothing they'd want and she doesn't seem to process the point of a birthday for a baby isn't about toys and fun but to celebrate their life. when Ashley suggests they can get by on mugging people Alex says she can pose as a homeless sad kid and for the first time in a while at her Ashley lights up and says THAT'S why you're mama's favorite <3333

babies don't make everything better the co-dependent toxic satanic demonic summoning cannibal incest game's plot now also includes a 6 year old that has also eaten people now with two of the most awful parents imaginable around her and if anything Ashley might get colder once her mom is dead because now there's no way

thoughts? i really want to write this but i'd love feedback

#the coffin of andy and leyley #andy and leyley #andrew graves #ashley graves #gravecest #coffincest #ashley x andrew #i have. no idea how to tag this otherwise lmao #dead dove do not eat #there #starposts #long post

skz mtl to apologize first after an argument

most

felix

changbin

chan

jeongin

hyunjin

lee know

seungmin

jisung

least

felix, changbin, chan: these three are top tier emotionally intelligent communicators. felix is known for wanting to talk things out asap after a miscommunication and I see changbin doing something similar, too, but unlike felix who would push aside his own thoughts and opinions, changbin would really want to work things out in a way that both of you would understand each other. chan’s more like felix though; he would want to resolve the conflict first and then get into details when both of you are in a civil and stable state of mind.

jeongin, hyunjin: I think it depends on the topic the argument is on with these two. jeongin’s not great at expressing his emotions but he’s very willing to understand the other perspective and generally open-minded so I think if he thought you were genuinely upset, he would reflect and figure out the entire situation before approaching you and apologizing. hyunjin’s main shortcoming would be that he would only be thinking about his own feelings and opinions and realize only after the fact that he didn’t hear you out fairly. he would apologize first under the condition that he believed he didn’t give you a fair chance to voice your thoughts.

lee know, seungmin, jisung: lee know definitely wants to apologize first sometimes—he’s just not fond of verbal apologies. I see him as someone that would try to brush over an argument rather than talk it out and properly resolve it. he would apologize first if he was completely sure he was in the wrong, and even then he would hesitate because apologies don’t come easy to him. he’s incredibly sincere in his actions though, so you would be able to tell if he’s sorry by how he acts towards you (think doing his chores and then yours without being asked). seungmin’s pretty similar to lee know but he would be even more nonchalant, not even putting on a sorry act and going straight back to normal. you will have to apologize first 90% of the time—he will definitely apologize after you apologize though. jisung too, he would only apologize if you go first. otherwise you will have to pry an apology out of him, he is easily the most stubborn. but to his credit, he’s also a total softie and would make you dizzy from his affections after the fact.

hope you enjoyed!! I take requests (no smut) so please send :)

B5 S03E22 Z'Ha'Dum previous episode - table of contents

Flashback central - Anna talking about signing onto the Icarus. Kosh saying "Z'Ha'Dum," Delenn and Sheridan talking about the Icarus landing on Z'Ha'Dum, Morden being a dickbag.

Anna doesn't seem very sincere, and I don't buy her "I'm an open book, but DELENN didn't tell you...no, I shan't say..." schtick.

I know I made all those predictions about how this will play out, but I really don't know how this is going to play out. Will the future be subverted and the prophecies less than self-fulfilling? I don't know!

Partner: "Do you think these guys did like, late-night interviews in the 90s or was it not popular enough?" Me: "Hm let me consult my extensive memories of being 0-6 years old in an anti-technology cult in the 1990s."

Anna: "I'm your wife." Dr Franklin: "That's your wife." Sheridan: "If that's my wife, then what was all my years of grief-processing for?"

Excuse me Sheridan, take your hands off Delenn. Don't shake her just because you're emotionally overwrought.

I am on Delenn's side in this argument. Delenn said clearly that anyone who wouldn't have served the Shadows would have been killed. Therefore, Anna was either dead, or completely opposed to the life and wellbeing of every living thing in the galaxy.

yeah yeah Sheridan, you have big emotions. But don't be a dick.

Londo's political maneuvering has resulted in a promotion and he's bummed because he can't be satisfied with anything. He's a voracious pit of longing that can never be filled. When he's made an ambassador, he rages because they're sending him away. When he's given a prestigious advisor position, he's mad because he deserved it twenty years ago.

Mr Morden Jr is here. Sounds like there's about to be an attack on B5.

Looks like Dr Franklin just found something in his scans on Anna Sheridan.

Anna is refusing to answer any questions about anything unless John goes with her to Z'Ha'Dum to hear the answers there. Not even why she stayed and let herself be declared dead and all her loved ones grieve her death.

Aaaan he agrees to go to Z'Ha'Dum if she explains why she stayed. Against future!Delenn's pleas.

Anna says - IPX found a Shadows ship buried under the surface of Mars. As soon as they unearthed it, it sent a message. IPX took some parts and put a homing device inside. When another ship turned up and took the first one, they tracked it. (didn't the second ship also kill a fuckload of people? She doesn't mention anything about that.)

The Icarus went to the coordinates and found the Shadows. In a pit. Very foreboding. She says it was an accident that the crew was killed, and also destroyed the comm system. She says they portrayed themselves as vunerable coming out of hibernation and cut a deal that they could stay and study their tech if they didn't try to contact their homeworld(s).

It would be a cool plot twist if Anna was telling the truth and he really was about to find out he's been on the wrong side this entire time. However, I don't think that's the case. The Shadows haven't been taking out governmental heads, they've been displacing populations, causing genocides, anmd spreading suffering.

I do wonder what this secret task he's given Garibaldi is.

It's incredibly foolish to run off to the ACTUAL HOMEWORLD of your mortal enemies. But there goes John Sheridan! trot trot. Well, they did hit him where he's most vulnerable. The wound of losing a loved one never really goes away.

They're taking the White Star - what a fucking security vulnerability! Also, so funny that Sheridan is taking the White Star when he's only SEEN the Minbari pilot it. Aviation law must have gotten lax in the future.

Z'Ha'Dum doesn't have a breathable atmosphere. He goes off, alone, with his formerly-dead wife. To the enemy's planet. With no breathable atmosphere. And just nods and hands over his gun. And doesn't even keep his oxygen mask at hand!

Dummy.

And Morden's here. AND Anna gives HIM John's gun! goddddddddddd

Poor Delenn, she looks wrecked. John's message to her talks about his time jump and Delenn's plea to not go to Z'Ha'Dum. He says he went because maybe in that future, he listened to her and DIDN'T go, so he's going in case it changes the future.

Well.

Justin on Z'Ha'Dum says that most of the higher races left this part of the universe, and the Vorlons stuck around to be parents. Clean your room, behave, etc. The Shadows, though, want to release their potentials...through conflict. "Those who survive are strong, better," Justin says. And Morden says if you knock over an anthill, the future generations get better at building anthills.

hm.

"...but I love my mom and dad," - noted parents-guy John Sheridan, hopefully.

"A few get lost along the way," Justin says. Yeah. Like the Narn got directly targeted and attacked repeatedly until they lost their telepaths, then almost lost everything? Literally they were T A R G E T E D. It isn't a neutral "they got lost," they were pummeled into near-oblivion.

Oop, the Shadows have arrived at B5.

Morden would have us believe that sonnets came from wars. Bullshit - sonnets came from the Italian courtly style and was developed in order to flirt better. (per Partner's masters of poetry)

Ahhh, the Shadows are hanging out over B5 as the hammer over Sheridan's head. Sheridan's too good at diplomacy, so he's preventing the species' growth through warfare. boooooo.

I could go through and rebut the things they're saying point by point but ehhh. It's a lot. But it's 99% bullshit and 1% mispresented.

Sheridan drops a bomb: Anna has been altered in the same way as the people who were being sent to become components in the Shadows ships.

Whoop, Shadow incoming. And gun incoming! John Sheridan had TWO GUNS. badadadada

oof, poor Sheridan. He's arming the White Star to detonate, and Anna's turned up saying that Anna is dead, but she can love John as well as Anna ever did.

"I want you to know that I love you, Delenn. Bye." he says, in the video message.

And there's the Kosh fragment! Sheridan jumps into the pit of doom in the center of Z'Ha Dum as the White Star bursts through the central dome.

Anna didn't like that!

Kosh said he couldn't help Sheridan if he helped then. And then he helped anyway. lol

I like the G'Kar voice-over. Andreas has such a marvelous voice and he really knows how to use it.

One of the fighters is missing - piloted by Garibaldi! And the marvelous CGI depicts it floating in a Shadows ship. Well. At least we won't run out of plot anytime soon. :P

Dating Jules Vaughn

warnings ✩° : fluff headcanons, angst headcanons, jules being toxic, cheating, mentions of drug use, cursing.

pairing ✩° : jules vaughn x gn!reader

authors note ✩° : I WANTED TO POST SOMETHING TO SHOW IM STILL ALIVE. getting stuff done tomorrow so i’ll be occupied, but trust in me...wayne stuff and aib coming soon...

- Jules is probably the most interesting person you’ll meet in your life time. That’s not to say you yourself aren't, it’s just that Jules is a very different kind of interesting. You like to describe her as if Luna Lovegood and Sailor Moon had a secret love child, because that’s exactly who she is.

- She’s the definition of spontaneous. The type to sneak into your backyard and climb up to your room just to show you a funny post by someone you both mutually dislike and laugh about it for the entire night, or the type to get up and start dancing out of no where. Dead wife trope kinda.

- Around you, Jules is seriously so clingy. She loves showing PDA and showing people you're hers and vice versa, there’s no problem if you start to feel insecure about being lesser than anyone else because Jules will always shoo that feeling away by holding your hand or kissing you in the halls.

- One thing you guys love to do together is each others makeup. If you like more subtle, natural looks, you’ll recreate them on her and she’ll recreate her favorite looks of her own or even go all out. Nights like those always end up in you two not taking each other seriously because you end up messing her eyeliner or she pokes your eye by accident.

- If you're not an anime fan, Jules converts you. But if you already are, you both will spend hours talking about old 90′s anime or new generation magical girl, slice of life, or psychological horror shows as well as your favorite characters and ships in each. If there’s a couple on screen, she’ll ask you which one you are and which one she is. Madoka and Homura for real...

- Jules could give less of a fuck what other people think of her. After what happened in front of Nate that one time early on, everyone’s already cautious around her, seeing her as a ticking time bomb before she goes off again and ends up hurting herself or someone else. But if someone fucks with you? They might as well consider themselves dead at that point because they're next on her hit humiliate list.

- I don’t really see Jules being loyal. Obviously. So when you guys have an argument or you accidentally ignore her for too long, she gets really insecure or intoxicated and ends up cheating on you with either one of her friends or one of yours. At first, you didn’t know and when she ends up telling you when things die down and everything’s back to normal, she tries to play it off like it wasn't that big of a deal.

- You guys go on multiple breaks but always end up back with each other.

- Very honest when she wants to be, though sometimes it’s hidden beneath a condescending or unsure laugh. She just can’t handle people being boring, even if it comes to you.

“Maybe you shouldn't wear that, Y/n...”

“Why? What’s wrong with it?”

“Uhmmmm...haha...never mind! Keep it on, you look great!”

- Being close to Jules also means you're close to her dad. He treats you like you're his kid, always lets you stay at their house if you want, feeds you, and sometimes even pays for things you want. Jules gets embarrassed but she knows how much he cares and loves that you two get along.

- Always going to parties and getting wasted together or being the only sober one, taking care of Jules.

- You are her safe haven, a judge free zone where she can relax and say what’s on her mind.

gonna go off a bit on the subject of the "he's me fr" school of character analysis. Because while it's absolutely fine and good even to relate to fictional characters and see aspects of yourself in them, it's also important to recognise the difference between your interpretation based on your experiences and what is actually shown on the page or screen.

humans are primed to recognise patterns. We are strongly inclined to contextualise things to suit our existing worldviews. We don't like contradiction and we don't like things we don't understand. It's so natural for us then to reframe anything we find confusing or contradictory that we often don't even notice we are doing it.

this is bad! This is dangerous! This is how you get bigotry and hatred!

a lot of people reframe things they don't understand (other races, cultures, religions, genders) into Other and Other is frequently Bad or even Evil. It's relatively easy to spot when other people do this and to understand that it is wrong. But surely, you may then say to yourself, if i am reframing things into what is familiar to me that's good, right? i'm Relating and that's a positive thing!

and i guess, yes and no. Yes because finding connection can be validating and because there's a reason that representation in media is so important--that reason being largely because it gives a wider range of people the opportunity to see others like them on screens and in pages. But also that act of relating to something you know is in fact an act of bias. You are biased in favour of recognising that thing because it is You. It's important to you as part of your identity but you should be aware that this can lead you to overcompensate and to misinterpret things because you are seeking that connection so intensely. And honestly i think this is also fine so long as you are able to recognise the difference.

there's a difference between saying "i identify in X way and demonstrate Y characteristic. This fictional character demonstrates Y characteristic therefore i am going to interpret them as identifying in X way" and saying "this character MUST OBVIOUSLY identify in X way because I DO and I SAID SO and this is now a VALID TEXTUAL INTERPRETATION."

maybe it is. Maybe it also isn't. Maybe Y characteristic is something that supports many different interpretations and "because they're totally me and i said so" is neither a strong argument nor a healthy way to process the world.

let me give a real world example. i am acespec, something i didn't understand until relatively recently and definitely couldn't have defined when i was in college because that was like 1997 and the language i needed really didn't exist then. Or at least it didn't exist in my corner of the american midwest. Anyway. i had a friend in college who was gay. He had come out at 18, which in the late 90s rural midwest was a big fucking deal. He was very proud of his identity, to the point of being aggressive about it and one of his big things was trying to encourage other people to explore their own sexual identities.

which is fine, right? Good, even. People should be able to do that and his intention was to be a safe space for his friends. His intentions were good! What wasn't good was the way he absolutely targeted me as someone who didn't date and didn't "chase men" <-this was literally the way he phrased it to me. He said "you don't chase men and you don't want to date them therefore you are a lesbian just admit it."

he absolutely would not accept that i wasn't gay too. He used to get mad at me for arguing with him about it. The way his world was framed you were either gay or straight (reminding folks this was the 90s) and so if you weren't demonstrating Accepted Straight Behaviour, ie dating and lots of sex, that must mean you were closeted gay and should just come out already, otherwise what are you some sort of homophobe?

he wasn't able to recognise that his interpretation of the characteristics i showed were not the only possible interpretation. Even if i weren't acespec i could just not have met anyone i was interested in! (this was also true). There were at least half a dozen other explanations for it but he insisted his was the only way because it was His identity and His experience and he was i think genuinely trying to relate to me on that level. Instead he ended up alienating me because i knew the choice wasn't as simple as "gay or closeted and probably homophobic" but there was absolutely no convincing him of that.

obviously there is a difference between what he did and fictional character analysis. Obviously fictional characters are not going to be hurt by people interpreting them as whatever the way i was hurt by my friend's behaviour. But i put it to you that the same inability to differentiate between what is real and what is your own interpretation based on your personal biases is a negative thing and something people need to be aware of. If you are capable of imposing traits on fictional people based on your own identity and recognising that doesn't necessarily mean they have those traits then great, more power to you, go forth and fanfic. But if you interpret a character in X way and genuinely, deeply believe that your interpretation is the only right and valid one based on nothing more than your own experiences then i strongly urge you to examine your biases and learn to do textual character analysis. For yourself, for your own metacognition skills, but also for the people around you. Believing you are right and there is no other way to think is the quickest path to intolerance and hatred that there is.

#yes this is about crazy ass takes on the gay pirates #but i will not tag it as such because i don't want the drama #getting it off my chest on a blog no one reads anyway #behave in the notes or you are blocked

Hi I was wondering if you could write a scenario where the dormleaders and possibly everyone else expect the teachers, Crowley, and Grim don’t remember MC for 24 hours due to some spell gone wrong? and the teachers and Grim are confused to why they’re the only ones who remember? If you don’t pick this one Thanks anyways have a nice day 👌

I Don't Remember You - TWST Dorm Leaders X Reader

Hello! I honestly found this ask to be really interesting, and I had to think of interesting ways on how to end this! Since you mentioned the dorm leaders by name, this is Dorm Leaders X Reader focused, and every other character is platonic.

An inter-MagiShift tournament ended in the roaring cries of Savanaclaw with the final victory, wavering their achievement throughout the entire school. The Fae Prince, who arrived to witness the defeat of his dormitory to Leona's team felt nothing but bitterness in his mouth, not brought on by Diasomnia's lack of winning, but bitterness from the audacity of Leona Kingscholar to lift you up in celebration of his victory.

His seething envy did not go unnoticed by the Diasomnia MagiShift team, as Sebek stepped forward, apologising for the disgrace that the team brought on to the Fae Prince. "Waka-sama! There is nothing we could do to make up for this-"

"Do your best next time," Malleus said, getting up from his chair. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the rest of the students, making it very clear that he wished to not be disturbed. Lilia lead the other students on, and Malleus could hear the Vice Dorm Leader promising the team a meal cooked by him as a reward, but from the visible gag of the students, they might deem it a punishment.

In the quiet walls of his sanctuary, his claws trailed over the very first flower crown you made for him, your Tsunotarou. The seeds of envy from his emotions seeped out, darkening the hues of the crown. Inhaling its sweet scent once more, the Fae Prince casted his wish.

"To forget the pain of my hearts… Am I to forget her then?"

~○~

A flurry of emotions ran through you as you noticed the clock of the hand past two hours from when you should've awoken. You grumbled from your sheets, wondering if Ace bribed your furry companion Grim once more as a prank. If it was, you weren't putting up with it anymore.

Last night was an overwhelming moment of emotions as you remembered the way Leona's eyes brightened as he lifted you up into the air. Sure, you gave him a little pep talk as encouragement, but the reminder of the memory brought warmth to your cheeks.

You might talk it out with Leona today.

The walks down the corridor were somehow off to you. Your passing by students who already knew you through your connections with Crowley were sparing you more glances than you thought. The stares caused paranoia in you, wondering if someone casted a spell to change your appearance to look like a jabberwock or a gremlin.

Your reflection brought a sigh of relief to your mind, but your body didn't thank your distracting thoughts as you tumbled to the ground, bumping against another person. The student you crashed into flew into a fury, the kind that you assume would be followed by painting the roses red…

"Riddle? Is that you? I know I'm a klutz today but I can explain-"

The red headed dorm leader swung his sceptre at you, the very one you remember he apologised for pointing at you during your actual birthday tea party. He was furious. Much more furious at you than you ever thought he could be.

"How… informal of you!" He cried out loud. "Are you not aware of Rule 90 of the-"

Utterly confused at Riddle's sudden change of attitude compared to his understanding personality you were used to, after his Overblot. You couldn't understand his sudden hostility, running the things you could've done to upset him.

Trey, being as gracious as ever, diffused the situation before it drifted further into argument. Cater who'd been watching from the sidelines complimented you to be a 'brave, witty young Miss' for speaking such a way to Riddle. You could only glare at Deuce and Ace, who said nothing about your predicament. So much for having each other's backs… Although, from their hurt faces, they might've been punished earlier…

Trey conveniently had a spare map of the school with him, handing it to you. "I assume you're new Miss. A small token, to save yourself the next time we meet again."

You couldn't find the right words to respond, as Riddle abruptly mentioned to the Heartsyabul students that their Unbirthday Party awaited.

Yet, as you left, you felt the stares of Riddle to you, similar to the way he looked at you when you performed at the Lounge… Maybe he was faking it? You weren't too sure, but something was definitely off about them. Just the other day, you remembered the bouquet of roses Riddle gifted you. Your heart wrenched, an icky lump in your throat, disgusted that Riddle pretended to have such a façade in front of you, if that's how he was going to play it off.

You huffed, walking away from the scene. You felt the hot pricking of tears near your eyes, but before they made their journey, you hurried to wipe them away.

"Hoi YN!!" Grim cried out, running at your heels, also earning odd stares from other students. You paid no mind, going your own way.

~○~

It was not time for the next session of class, but you entered the almost empty classroom anyway, save for Grim and Professor Crewel. Grim was in your arms, comforting you as you explained what happened to you and Grim this morning.

"I never liked those seven pursuing you anyway…" He muttered.

You huffed at your father figure, ignoring his comment. "There's no way they'd change overnight too! Ace didn't spare a glance to prank Grim back," You justified. Your poor Grim was thought to be someone's stray pet, and was chased around in the morning by other students to be handed over to the faculty.

Crewel took his time to ponder on it, while wiping away the tear stains off your cheeks. "I'll try my best to investigate it, pup. Maybe I'll interview one of those potential boyfriends once more-"

"In a non-threatening way? Please?" You asked, already overwhelmed with the events so far. You weren't sure if you could handle anymore accidents.

He sighed. "Alright pup, anything for you. I have the next class with that lion lover of yours, so fetch him for me before he oversleeps for my class will you? He only ever listens to you."

You nodded, picking up Grim in your arms before exiting the classroom. "Will do, thank you!"

~○~

"Looks like Dad #2 remembers you," Grim said as you two approached the Savanaclaw dormitory. There weren't many students around, considering the start of classes. However, knowing Leona, he'd be sleeping in until mid-afternoon…

"Not so loud. You know Crewel prefers to be the #1 Dad."

Ruggie, you assumed, gave up on waking up Leona. The sleepy lion was tossing and turning in bed, his tail swishing around his sheets. Leona was clean, but he wasn't neat with the scattered jerseys and bags from last night's game on the floor.

You settled with waking him up the usual way, sitting on the edge of the bed, as you played around with the edges of his hairs until the sensation woke him up. You would scratch his ears, but Leona mewled in his sleep, before you could. The beastman rolled around before his cheek rested against your hand, the sensation jolting him awake.

"The f-"

"Sorry, I know you don't like being woken up," You began, adjusting the blankets of the bed. Grim on the other hand welcomed himself to the messed up sheets, wanting to annoy Leona as usual. He's gotten confident at it, knowing that Leona won't really eat hi-

You thought of it too soon, with the lion beastman picking Grim up by the scruff of his neck. You assumed that he was still drowsy, but Leona's growl indicated otherwise.

You tried to reason with him. "Leona-"

"Listen lady, I'm being polite here," He said, throwing Grim into your arms. He got out of his bed, glaring at you all of a sudden. "I have no idea who you are, but with how friendly you're being, Farena must've sent you to keep an eye on me."

Leona forgot you too. There was no way Riddle would follow through Ace's prank this hard, much less Leona convinced to fool you.

"Apologies," You choked out, trying to resist the heat from your chest. "I… must've mistaken you for someone else."

~○~

The strange stares that you got from the twins when you asked for Azul were an expression you'd never forget. However, you had to admit that Jade being confused was something you thought you'd never seen. Currying favour of the twins when they forgot everything about you was hard for sure, but it was nothing but offering them your service for their tedious tasks to figure out where Azul was.

It was a chance at killing two birds with one stone, since Idia and Azul were playing games together. Before you could make your way, Lucius and Grim just had to get into a fight.

You picked up the fluffy tabby cat into your arms, deciding to forego your plans as to return Lucius to his master. "Grim, I'm really not in the mood to deal with this," You told your own furry companion, as he complained about his sides hurting.

"What! He said that his owner wanted to talk to you but I told him that we don't take orders!"

"How convenient…" You hummed. Frankly, you needed the distraction from the cold shoulders you were getting from your friends. Sure, it might not be their fault, but their dismissive behaviour still stings. It's a wonder that it affected those with high magical abilities as well, and the fact that you weren't affected by it in the first place.

~○~

"What is it Idia?"

The vast board game before them had their pieces strewn about, yet for a moment, Idia was distracted. Of course it brought about a shock to Azul, who knew his fellow friend was an absolute fanatic of the game.

Idia's hands trembled as he placed back the card that would've activated the character Yuu's ultimate, suddenly speaking up to his friend. "Do you… remember how we made this character?"

The character model was perfectly crafted from customising, much like the many characters in the board game. Azul pondered on the question, finding himself staring at Yuu's hooded face. "No… did you make it on your own?"

"You had to be there…" Idia argued. "I only ever play this game with you."

Ortho, the arbiter of their game spoke up. "Big Brother, if you continue with that move, you miss the chance to eliminate Azul's rendezvous."

"But I'll sacrifice Yuu in the process!" His outburst caught everyone, including himself, by surprise. Why did he care so much about this character who he can't even remember when they made it? The sudden attachment made Idia much more reluctant to actively use Yuu in the game.

Azul placed his turn cards. "Out of respect, I'll withdraw the caravan," He said. "I've… also taken a liking to what profits Yuu will bring about the game."

Ortho huffed, reading out the next story card after their turns were done. "If you insist… So the rendezvous is successful however mistrust is planted in the envoys-"

"You have got to be kidding me!"

~○~

For as perfect as the Unbirthday party was today, Riddle felt as if something was missing. Or perhaps… someone. It was irritating, really. He followed every single procedure and rule of the Unbirthday party, how could he feel unsatisfied?!

He politely shoved another tart into his mouth, to keep him from thinking any of the sort. The chair next to him was oddly left empty, even thought Trey was on his side. His close friend noticed his longing gaze at the empty chair, as well as how his focus drifted away from the party.

"Something amiss, Riddle?"

Caught off guard, the dorm leader almost flung the tea in his cup onto his friend. "No," He denied, reaching for a shortcake. "Nothing is amiss."

"Someone… is missing from the party," He muttered. "I'm not angry at… the notion of it."

~○~

The evening soon arrived, and the stares and whispers of the students' strangely new curiosity towards you drove you crazy. You needed answers, and so had no one to turn to but regrettably Crowley. Other members of the staff still remembered you, but you were scared of the implication that tomorrow you'd be forgotten.

"Their bond might be reignited with you if we irritate them about it. Do something that they'd hate happen to you!" Vargas said. It was extremely out of line, but he quickly justified himself. "I mean those dorm leaders. Fawning for you at every turn. Like lovestruck boys. Odd to see em not get to you…"

"For once you say something intelligent," Divus said, taking his seat next to you. "No worries, pup. We won't do that if you don't want to."

"Whaddya mean 'don’t wanna?'! It's our only chance!" Grim cried as he crawled onto your lap, tugging at your collar to convince you. "It's just a lil' kick before they remember! Like smacking someone with amnesia!"

Trein coughed at the last statement. "An assumption most fools will try. It's identified that powerful magic is at play, and it'd take too long to find the exact culprit," Trein explained. "Emotional leverages will be to your benefit, as an emotional rift will cause a disturbance for the caster or the caster themselves will lose control of the spell from their own emotions."

Their suggestions spun the roulette in your mind to find the perfect wedge to drive in the dorm leaders.

"The mirror!" You exclaimed.

"Mirror?"

You turned to Crowley. "The mirror you're working on to bring me home! You're working on it… right?"

The principal coughed out his tea at the question, scrambling to get his scarcely few notes. "Ah yes… The uh, mirror. The mirror that is supposedly enchanted to bring you home, and the mirror I'm supposed to be wor-"

Crewel, tired of Crowley's drivel, spoke up. "The mirror's not enchanted with anything, is it?"

A shameful 'no' echoed in the room.

Crewel, sensing your disappointment, patted your head. "No worries pup, we can make use of it. I'm not sure how, but-"

"With a placebo effect!" Sam chimed in, who'd been quietly toying with Lucifer's tail. "Listen in kid, and the rest of ya."

~○~

Malleus did as he typically does, brooding around the dormitory. His lessons were well and done, but in his free time… he felt empty. As if there were something that he was supposed to do, or someone he meant to see. There were no issues in the Valley of Thorns as Lilia had confirmed, yet he was restless.

The sudden intrusion of an excited Sebek ruined his fruitless thoughts. In his hand… a letter.

"Waka-sama! It's an invitation!"

Was this an answer he was looking for?

He didn't ponder long, overwhelmed with finally receiving an invitation to have a meeting with the other Dorm Leaders. His claws ran over the parchment, before they traced over his signed name on the top of the parchment. The shape… the flow of the ink brought a wave of nostalgia to him.

No, it wasn't nostalgia. It was writing he knew. Writing he's seen before.

The constant thinking, made him hunch over, one of his hands pressing against his forehead, fingers threading through his hairline. Lilia and Silver, who remained in the room, grew worried for their prince who's sudden headache wasn't expected.

"Malleus?"

He quickly straightened himself, before the other concluded he was ill. This was an invitation, so he will go.

"Prepare my robes. The invitation is to meet the other Dorm Leaders."

Steps soon echoed down the hallway of Diasomnia before stopping at the main door next to Crowley's office. Malleus left the others outside, not wanting to intrude further on the strict instructions not to bring anyone, including the Vice Dorm Leaders.

An unfamiliar person sat at the head of the table, as Malleus took his seat on the other end of the table. On his left was Rosehearts and to his right Ashengrotto, however for their usual business-like manner, they looked uneasy. The person at the head of the table must've said something to disturb them.

The others really paid no mind to his arrival, despite their power differences. The other stranger however, had her eyes wide open, a gaze that holds nothing but curiosity.

"I still don't get what you mean, Ms YN," Kalim spoke up politely. "It's clear none of us met you before?"

~○~

It's been going for about 10 minutes before Malleus arrived in the room. You were well aware that you were staring, but you went on with the script anyway.

"Alright… so no one remembers me," You clarified. "Then why is this mirror important?"

You pointed to the glass mirror behind you, the exact one you fell through. By your gesture, they were stunned once more, trying to find an excuse or answer to your question. They were tongue tied, but from the looks of Riddle and Azul, you were just so close to breaking the spell.

"The mirror isn't enchanted in the slightest," Malleus said.

His one comment brought ease to everyone, a huge sigh of relief resounding in the room.

Vil, much more confident, commented on its sorry state as well. "Reflections aren't the best in it anyway…"

'Because Crowley didn't do anything to it!' You wondered in your head. Some were doubtful to you now, some began to tire of your constant questions. Alright… it was time for your last resort.

You pushed your seat away from the table, walking to the sword Sam had left in the room. None of them were the slightest alarmed at the sword, assuming it was yours.

Faces of panic formed the moment you pointed it to the mirror.

"It's not enchanted right?!" You cried out. "Then it's fine to get rid of this useless piece of junk!"

The seven in the room scrambled to stop you. Leona, the closest to you, held you back with his beastman strength while Idia and Azul placed themselves between you and the mirror, Idia quickly setting up a protective barrier over the mirror.

Dropping the sword, you kicked around in Leona's embrace as you grew desperate.

"C'mon! That dang mirror can't even show reflections like Vil says!" You yelled. "Why do you guys care so much?!"

"Just let me destroy it!"

"It's not like it matters anyway!"

"No one would care if it were gone!"

"Why care about a measly mirror anyway?!"

You were in tears, your constant screams not affecting them at all. No more last efforts from you.

"I guess I'm just as forgettable as the mirror!" You choked out, finally getting out of Leona's grasp.

Malleus moved from his stiffened state, reaching for your wrist. "Y… You're not."

"Tell me why then!" You snapped, tired of everything you tried.

Riddle flew into a fury. "You're important! You're-"

"Yes!" Kalim cut him off, his words quickly dying after. "You're…"

It was hopeless. The spell was too strong for you.

"I'm nothing to everyone!" You yelled, wiping the trains of tears down your cheek.

The words sent a pang of sorrow in the hearts of everyone in the room.

Azul was the first to shed a tear, trying to hide it as much possible. Kalim was the next to follow, his free flowing tears prompting everyone's to follow suit. Vil and Idia tried to will the tears away, with a tissue and fire hair respectively. Leona and Riddle had choked sobs, cursing themselves in confusion. Malleus… had processed it the entire time, before a single black tear escaped from his eye.

The drop of the tear broke as it touched the ground, sending a flurry of green magic wisps in the room. You covered your head, bracing yourself, but the green magic felt like an embrace, as soft as Leona's fur really, causing you to look up.

The seven were knocked on their arses, before snapping back up to you.

"YN?"

"Darling!"

"My Queen!"

"YN!"

"Sweetheart!"

"Angelfish!"

"Beloved…"

You were knocked to the floor by your lovers. Kalim couldn't stop crushing your ribs in a tight hug, while Azul and Riddle had placed your hand on their cheek, as if they had to make sure that you were alive. Vil's head was next to yours, pressing his temple to yours, the smell of his favourite perfume filling your nose. Leona and Idia claimed a leg each with a tight grip, cursing themselves for being under such a spell.

Malleus, your sweet Malleus was on the sidelines, realising what he had done.

You quickly gave a peck to the rest, before embracing the Fae into your arms.

"It was me," He softly confessed. The rest didn't interfere, knowing he needed this moment with you. "It was me, beloved. I was envious of yesterday, seeing Leona embrace you."

Leona huffed, turning his head, muttering that he did it on purpose. Vil smacked him before any words reached Malleus. Idia warned the beastman, saying that Malleus could have permanently erased you from their lives if he wanted to.

"The spell was casted through my emotions," Malleus suspected. "The same emotion broke the spell. I'm sorry beloved, it is a selfish reason."

You patted his hair between his horns, shaking his head. "I was a little scared, but I guess I need to work on dividing time with you all equally too. I'm sorry if you felt a little neglected, Tsunotarou," You perked up to peck him on his cheek.

"Trust me, YN…" Malleus whispered.

"None of us could forget you, never in eternity."
