can't believe you drew me ominously looming in the background like some big scary monster when I wasn't even in call to know WHY. LMAO AWESOME i like the shinji he is so silly lookin

what a totally normal series of drawings i did in call with my friends that does not at all dissolve into madness

I have my own headcanon that offspring parasites with their own special abilities can use their host’s abilities if they’re 1. Older like Fresh , and 2. Have studied that ability in action

Like Fresh or the ‘runts’ you mention would have some innate sense of how to use their host’s ability, but if a different parasite wanted to use it they’d have to take a more analytical approach to it.  

Liiiike for example my OC Grunge (inspired a lil by Unfresh, I wanted to make a similar concept without the aspects I disliked, then he ended up developing into his own character) has smoke abilities, but he learned how to use his host’s bone magic too :D

The funny thing is, he probably understands his host’s magic better than his own.  He doesn’t even realize his smoke can be used for illusions or suffocation because he keeps using it just to elongate his stupid tentacles and make a smoke cloud similar to Fresh’s poof

He’s also got a different style from Fresh! He’s got a 90s grunge style rather than that neon look Fresh is known for. B)

(i forgot to add the back tendrils on the drawing above RIP)

idk if people really care about parasite OCs, so lemme know below this post if you want me to infodump about this edgy guy.  I’ve got a lot more than him but he’s one of my main ones

how does fresh reproduce?

he reproduces asexually!! More parasites are grown inside the hosts body while he’s in there and he coughs them out (and then crushes them into powder, he HATES the other parasites + they’re competition + they could get him caught in whatever world he’s in if they got loose, they’re flat out a genuine danger to him) though a few do occasionally escape, it’s a LOT of them and they’re small, and that’s how you get fresh parasite ocs!

it’s an involuntary thing that he has to do every so often, but he CAN do it on purpose, like at the ‘freshmageddon’ event in the loveball (which had a gateway to tons of other au’s, which is how people got there!!) where he spent three days straight creating them to infect thousands of universes at once!

the parasites also HAVE to obey him, even if they don’t want to, unless it goes against their deep deep deep core values, and even then, it’s REALLY difficult to! they also can’t create more, unless they live long enough, and the vast majority are also ace, like fresh, same species! (more fresh parasite info under the cut!!)

ALSO! the fresh parasites each have their own specialized power that starts out weak and gets stronger as they age, heavily based on their first host bc that’s what forms their identity the strongest! like instinctively knowin languages, healing, emotional manipulation (my kid, toffee!), telepathy, basically anything under the sun, from overpowered to basically useless - like a power roulette!

fresh doesn’t have this, and neither do ‘runts’ which are born without any powers, which means they can borrow and use the power of their hosts (like fresh using sans’s bone attacks) instead of the host’s magic being ‘overridden’! this means that most regular parasites can’t use their hosts abilities iirc, or can only use it like… REALLY weakly! unlike fresh or the runts, who can harness all of it!

the parasites can also have any color/pattern and don’t have to be strictly 90s-themed like fresh, in fact, they probably wouldn’t be unless their FIRST host was a huge 90s fan! they can have ANY aesthetic imaginable, tho the majority are naturally drawn to bright or clashing colors it’s absolutely possible for one to favor more muted or matching clothes, the one thing they all have in common is the host’s soul in one eye - and they don’t even necessarily need shades to hide it!

in lucidia there are plenty of skeletons without eyelights like salt, so they could theoretically just wear an eyepatch over the soul eye and not have the risk of shades falling off! (i have my own hc that the empty socket is unnerving to other skeletons, even if it looks normal to us it looks off to them but this is JUST a headcanon and not at all backed up!!) get creative bro!!!!

fresh parasites can also feel emotions or not have any, or just feel one or a few emotions really strongly (like how fresh can just feel anger and fear in specific circumstances, a parasite could theoretically feel ONLY happiness, ONLY sadness, i don’t know what other emotions there are, disgust maybe??) there aren’t any concrete rules abt it from what i remember!!!

fun fact! yknow how fresh has many rainbow tongues? those arent tongues! those are parasites! those are sentient dudes. *sticks out my sons i hate to intimate you*

Help Wanted 2 is LITERALLY ABOUT TO RELEASE!!! So I thought I'd make a drawing based on Help Wanted 1 to get ready for that big drop!

The theory of the final tape being recorded by Glitchtrap rather than tape girl was always so cool to me! Like... being handed a method to kill the entity once and for all, but it was all a trick! Ever since sister location, FNAF sure loves to have those tricky plot twists

Side note, I have Help Wanted but haven't played it yet! Maybe I'll stream both games on my twitch sometime soon :] https://www.twitch.tv/purrpletiggy

I'm such a fucking rabbit, am absolute bnuuy.

foony fresh

look at my funny joke

Worst doctor ever, he stabbed me in the back of the pizzaplex, what the hell

yayayayay

that Neil mashup is just what it feels like to be infected with a Fresh Parasite I think. like, the hand POV makes you feel sort of restrained, in the same way you're strapped into a rollercoaster; it's disorienting, slightly off-putting, and might give you a little bit of motion sickness, but it's still a BOP. it's a good time! and so genuine in its weirdness that even the traces of eeriness (ie the way the hand lurches around) can be brushed off because it's just part of the goof. we are movin we are schmoovin. and also we have contracted toxoplasmosis

HAHAHAHA EXACTLY I LOVE THIS ASK I've totally had that dream before.

WAIT TOXOPLASMOSIS?? THAT'S HILARIOUS

Though to be fair canonically Fresh possession is REALLY PAINFUL cus he's literally DRAINING your soul, and it starts cracking over time which must HUUURRTT. I'd think it'd feel like some aching heart pain even at the least intensity, not fun!

But yeah Aaron by Neil Cicierega is totally on my Fresh playlist. Sometime I'll make a video of my Fresh playlist to share with tumblr. >B)

EXACTLY.  I wanted to ramble about this but you said literally exactly what I would’ve said

Taking a Closer Look at Fresh’s Actions

Fresh does a lot of weird stuff, even weirder if you don’t know why he’d make the choices he does. The perception of Fresh amongst fans is all over the place, so knowing Fresh’s character is nigh impossible unless you’ve spent a lot of time and effort trying to get ahold of it.

Luckily for you, I have in fact spent a lot of time and effort trying to understand Fresh and learn everything I possibly can about him, and I’m here to try and tackle explaining what the heck Fresh has been up to- because why he would act how he did in these combat scenarios is a delight to analyze.

So let’s get this ball rolling! For clarity, I’m discussing Underverse 0.7 Part One here, analyzing his actions in the animation and how well it suits his character, and this post is part one of multiple. The next part is posted!

Starting with the least surprising action taken by Fresh; 

1: Running away.
