I'm Only Saying This For Your Sake, But Objectively, It's Not A Smart Idea To Bring Politics Into Normal

I'm like an hour late but IN MY DEFENSE I was busy.

Spoilers for the new SotM video maybe idk. Not really but still continue cautiously if you havent seen it yet. (Video is called Stay Up Latte btw if you wanna go watch it.)

MORE FNAF LORE?!?!?! Stay Up Latte is such a dumb name I love it.

We can all agree that coffee machine put droogs in the coffee right?/j

Low quality spaghetti.

I'd argue that Cassidy and Charlie don't get very much either, BUT that's a rant for a separate post. The point here is that yes. I agree.

FNaF has a MAJOR problem with just... making characters to help move the plot forward then throw out. The MCI and DCI are the most major examples of course.

They exist so the main plot can happen, and they don't do anything else major after that, but even FNaFs more developed characters get this treatment.

We get a weird amount of information on Michael Brooks from the Silver Eyes Trilogy only for him to be... thrown out right after. Seriously, we get this kids FULL name, appearance, parents names, goal, animatronic he possesses, friends, etc, only for him to not be used again after the Silver Eyes Trilogy. (hes maybe used again in the movie but my point still stands)

Or ANDREW on the opposite side of the spectrum. He just shows up out of nowhere to be at LEAST a TOYNSHK stand in (or maybe TOYSNHK himself, not gonna argue over that here). We know nothing beyond "alligator mask and curly black hair". We get to know a little before they throw him out of the story and he never comes up again.

For modern FNaF, I do think Steel Wool WANTS to treat the characters better, Gregory and Cassie are good characters and I really like them, but game Vanessa got cut so much she hardly feels like a character at times (they butchered my girl...).

Like I know the movie gets hate for the characters being "shallow", but i got a better grasp of movie Vanessas personality in the first movie than i have on game Vanessas personality. (mostly to the fault of me not understanding anything in Security Breach probably, but also those damn cuts.)

I agree with the idea that there should've been short stories for all of the MCI. Fazbear's Frights is like a collection of creepypastas and I love it for that, but I'd rather have a story about Gabriel or Jeremy then a story about Matpat x Springtrap mpreg or fazgoo.

Like most of the minor books characters get more development than the games characters, that's insane. Why do we know that Heather Anders from The New Kid has two little sisters, but not what Fritz's last name is?

The only characters with development are Elizabeth/Circus Baby (until they massacred her in Pizza Sim...), Michael, and William. Everyone else is there ONLY for the plot, and even then these 3 are usually only there for the plot too.

FNaF makes too many characters to fill roles other characters can (I love you Andrew but at least 5 other characters could've took your role and it would've made more sense), and then throw them out because the plot doesn't need them anymore.

I love FNaF SO MUCH, always will, but it has a massive problem with "making characters for the plot because why not". Like at least give the poor DCI names come on. Glad it's getting better though, even if Vanessa got butchered in the cuts...

Something that really bothers me with FNaF is how Scott doesn't really develop many of the MCI kids properly, it's honestly kind of upsetting, everyone but Susie feels like a stepping stone of a character.

I wish Scott would give grace to the MCI kids and hell maybe even these DCI kids that probably exist but we don't even know for sure?? it just feels depressing how a lot of the MCI are treated in the series, I really wish they were all given motivations, goals and personality like Charlie and Cassidy in the logbook.

I honestly think Scott should've written short stories about every MCI victim, like I want to know about these kid's lives before death and actually show that these kids were living breathing human beings and not just a number.

Scott kind of has an issue with making nearly all of his characters plot devices for the story, they kinda just go from a to b with nothing in between a lot of the times.

Something I really enjoy about Steel Wool is that they seemingly actually want to develop their characters, like Vanny had so much content until it was cut, Gregory and Cassie have a lot of character and I don't know if thats SW or Scott or both, but I enjoy it so much more and actually care about these characters because there's something to care about! I just wish it was the case for the MCI kids aswell

SECRET OF THE MIMIC TRAILER?!?!?!

It looks. So good. Oh my God.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!

Let me project onto the fictional characters in peace it isn't going to ruin FNaF entirely if one person headcanons William Afton or Cassidy as Genderfluid or headcanons Charlie as using He/She pronouns of anything else stfu.

I don't care of its "unrealistic historically/for the character" theyre a fictional character and I'm going to headcanon them however I want.

THIS APPLIES TO (almost) EVERYTHING NOT JUST LGBTQ+ HEADCANONS.

no, headcanoning a character in the 80s as LGBTQ isn't unrealistic and just because it is the 80s, it doesn't mean that every person was straight/cis. (being gay/trans wasn't widely accepted around that time, yeah, but it doesn't automatically mean they didn't exist.)

247 days until the 2nd FNaF movie is too long I am just as obsessed with the FNaF movies as I was with the og games when they came out. FNaF 2 movie come faster please. /hj

Hoping we get news today like everyone's saying we will.

I've been busy so I'm kind of behind on FNaF news but everyone keeps saying news April 2nd and is super excited so I'm excited too.

247 Days Until the Party

And roughly 6 hours until the Universal Panel cinemacon today! (6:45 EST)

Anti-Anxiety Alfred is adorable. :3

I hate that I've even gotta reblog this because this SHOULD be a common opinion. Guess not though.

fun behaviors to give dragons that aren't feline/canine based

cause as much as i love dragons purring and roaring i wish there was just more variety in how they would act

clacking their teeth together to show contentedness/happiness (budgies)

using tails as a defensive weapon in a whip like fashion (iguana)

twitching to express that they're not a threat to members of their species (hognose snake)

feeling calm when eyes are hooded/covered (birds of prey)

head bobbing as a threat display (anoles/bearded dragons)

flattening neck or sides to appear bigger (snakes/lizards)

mantling over food to protect it from hatchmates (birds of prey)

wiggling neck as a courting maneuver (budgies)

audibly grinding teeth as a warning (macaques)

maintained eye contact as a challenge (gorillas)

pounding wings against sides as a threat (gorillas)

slapping other dragons with their claws when their personal bubble is invaded (seals)

hoards used as a site to impress mates (birds of paradise)

snorting when undergoing heightened stress (horses)

making repeated loud noises with surroundings to establish territory (woodpeckers)

loud constant arguments with other dragons when roosting (bats)

building lairs that cause a domino effect of change in the land around them (beavers)

slapping their tails against the ground/water as a warning (beavers)

wiggling tail tip to attract prey (various animals)

wiggling tail tip as a warning (snakes)

plucking or scraping off scales as a sign of stress (parrots)

raising spines/frills as a response to danger and carrying on with their usual business as they believe they're protected (lionfish)

and im not saying canine and feline behaviors are wrong or bad to give a dragon (people wouldn't write dragons with those behaviors if they weren't fun in the first place!) but i feel for creatures that are mythological giant winged lizards that you can do more and get experimental with it. often the more unfamiliar behavior the more dragony the dragon feels
