Day 1: Back in town, Baby!

Circus Baby's Pizza World is reopened after a mishap caused the restaurant to temporarily shut down. Baby is excited to see her fans again, however she ends up the victim of a prank from the Baby Bunnies

Hello everyone! I've been on a hiatus lately, but it's been for a good reason! I've been working on a bunch of Glamstars related work and one of the projects I've been working on is making a cute and silly little comic for the series!

DESCRIPTION

Everyday Superstars started off as an AO3 project by the same name which was a collection of one-shots and short stories set in the universe of Glamstars. This comic will be the same thing, but a bit more expansive!

DISCLAIMERS

Everyday Superstars WILL NOT be in chronological order. We will be jumping around between series and arcs!

Everyday Superstars IS CANON TO THE ORIGINAL GLAMSTARS. Everything you see here has happened! (In some way or another)

This series is Family Friendly, however there MAY be points were blood/violence, swearing, or death will be mentioned or shown (however it will not be anything too graphic and most swears will be censored) Please keep all of this in mind when you read!

The series will update every Tuesday and Friday unless specified otherwise!

Follow me on Deviantart as EverSuper will usually update there first!

Glamstars AU: Ruin arcs

Hey guys, back again with an update! So the arcs and the summaries for the Ruin saga is ready to go! I had been planning on posting this for a while, but got distracted with writing and planning on how to post this

I was originally going to post one chapter of each arc and just alternate between them so all of the stories were posted and up to date at the same time, but I realized that would be INCREDIBLY confusing and hard to follow. So, I decided to only post chapters for one arc at a time and that way you guys will see each story unfold on its own and through the eyes of each character!

This will be a first for me, since there are three stories with three motivations starring three very different characters, but only one outcome and one ending. The idea is for you guys to see each side of the story and decide who you think is right, wrong, or in between.

So! Let's get into the arcs and summaries! Each arc and summary is in the order of when they'll be posted!

Sins of Our Fathers - Jaime's Story

A year has passed since Burntrap's attack on the Mega Pizzaplex. Jaime is haunted by the ghosts of the past and returns to the source of the nightmare for answers. No longer content with letting the skeletons in her family's closet define her, she'll finally close this chapter of her life. Even if it kills her in the process.

-12 Chapters

Cruel Favoritism - Abbie's Story

Abbie Miller grew up in the shadow of her older sister. Ignored by her parents, teachers, and children alike, she wished for her sister to disappear; only for Bianca Miller to later be murdered by Vanny. Feeling responsible, Abbie braves the ruined Pizzaplex to find the truth but soon comes face to face with her sister's murderer. Can she put the restless soul of her sister to rest, or join her in the afterlife?

-12 Chapters

Well-Meaning Scapegoat - Cassie's Story

Cassie receives an urgent message from Gregory; he's trapped within the ruined Mega Pizzaplex and needs help to escape. She makes the trek to save him, and in the meantime meets new friends and enemies that constantly test her very definitions of right and wrong. Something is trying to get into her head, but what happens if they win?

-12 Chapters

Hope Falls to Ruin - Trio Story

The three children unite against their common enemies to prevent the spread of Agony. The final battle is upon them, but how can you kill something that lives forever? When the only thing you can do is hope for the best, what do you do when hope falls to ruin?

-8 Chapters

Doing a quick check-in here! I've been so busy with life, surgeries, and just a ton of other things that have been keeping me from updating as much as I want to. I was supposed to post my review on the FNAF movie but I never got around to finishing it and I don't think I ever will (at least not right now, I think I got like....half-way through when I had to save it for later) but no one cares about my views on the movie anyways so, onto the stuff you all DO care about!

Updates for Glamstars

I've been slowly but surely writing Ruin! I've long since finished the scripting phase and have actually begun writing the story! So far the plan is to release 4 or 5 chapters of Ruin and then I'll post the next two chapters of Legacy (which are actually ready to go, but I promised to do Ruin first so....mreh!)

So! I hope to post the first two chapters of Ruin before 2024! And then the next three will be posted around February! Then Legacy will be back up and running and both series will update side-by-side!

So far, these plans aren't going to change, and I'm actually on a good track to getting these done earlier than I expected. Of course, I'll post everything and any updates here as they happen!

[sholangagaga]

Here's the redesign of my Security Breach cast! Below it is the original designs, which I enjoyed back when I first made them, but as time progressed and I began fleshing out and designing the other synthetics, I began to look at my SB cast with. . .contempt? Disdain?

Their designs felt lazy in comparison, since I had tried to stay as true to the original designs as possible, but now I realize that I feel more comfortable making their designs my own in a way I could say I'm proud of, yanno?

Anyways! I'll be working on other SB group pictures as well (such as the Villains and other characters that were important to the plot) so keep an eye out!

From left to right;

Glamrock Freddy, Montgomery Gator, Glamrock Chica, Roxanne Wolf, Funrock HRMN.1

[sholangagaga]

Joshua definitely has a crush on Felicia but they're not going to end up together right? In one of Felicia's visions there's another man who asks to have a family with her, and that man isn't Joshua right? Or does Joshua die and become a synthetic?

Whoa whoa, that's like. . .a really good eye you've got there! I didn't expect anyone to remember her earlier visions and what happened in them, but you basically got it with your first guess. The other man she speaks with in her vision is indeed a synthetic, but he is not related to or part of Joshua at all.

There are currently no plans for Joshua to die young, so any Joshua fans don't have to worry about that!

[sholangagaga]

I swear your writing gives me life but at the same time is slowly killing my heart 😭

Pahaha! Sorry about that friend!

If it makes you feel any better, it hurts me more to write it than it does for you all to read it

[sholangagaga]

The last three chapters of the first arc of Legacy is finally up and ready to read!

This update was a roller coaster of issues, from time crunches, deleted files, and all other kinds of nonsense. I'm just glad to be done with this arc and can now start proceeding into the other arcs!

As promised, Legacy will go on a brief break so I can work on Glamstars Ruin, and once Ruin has about 4 or 5 chapters out, Legacy will come back and both series will update concurrently!

Keep an eye out for updates, release dates, and art!

Glamstars Legacy Chapter Master List

[sholangagaga]

Who is HRMN.1? Are they like M.X.E.S?

Nope! HRMN.1 is a synthetic who was built by Henry to replace his dead daughter Charlie, and was later turned into a FunTime by William

She plays a huge role in the SB saga of Glamstars!

[sholangagaga]

Got inspired and got around to finishing an old piece in regards to Phone Dude!

I've been going through drawing a bunch of my human characters, so I might end up getting a few more spreads done over the coming weeks!

I think its wonderful how you felt that this conversation was not only pleasing to you, but made you feel validated despite what you go through and see as misinformation about something you suffer through.

It was very brave of you to mention your own situation and your points definitely added far more to this than I could ever had hoped to see on my own. I'm always looking at things that show up as physical/mental/emotional issues and I find it fascinating to see things from a different perspective from my own. Your theories and info was certainly eye opening to me, and I'll certainly be looking into and maybe implementing some of these things in my own theories and aus in the future.

Thank you again for your input, and I'm so glad you felt that this was a safe enough place for you to not only relate, but to add your own thoughts and feelings!

What's your opinion on Monty?

Oh I've been waiting for an ask like this to come across my inbox after how popular my Bonnie theories have been. (full theory and spoilers under the cut)

Short answer: I think he's neat!

Long answer: I think Montgomery Gator is one of, if not the, most tragic character in the entire Glamrock cast. And his tragedy, while of course upsetting to see, is also incredibly endearing from a narrative standpoint.

What does that mean? Well, let me explain.

Monty was not made to be part of the band. That much we know in the canon lore. He was his own animatronic, with his own attraction and his own thing. Whether or not he was there from the very beginning when the Pizzaplex was built, or maybe they added him later to bring in more diversity and subvert the burden on the main band, I don't think we'll ever know. (since every main band member has their own attraction, which probably subtracts from their available time to perform main shows throughout the day)

The only bits and pieces we get of Monty's "life" before his joining the band is narrated through the Gator Golf attraction.

Monty's story starts with him as a One Man Jug Band, playing by himself in his swamp.

Now it's already pretty apparent that the Monty we see here is way more docile and doe-eyed than the one we encounter in Security Breach, but maybe that's the point.

We all know the stories of humble beginnings, of rags to riches. To me, Monty was one of those stories. A little guy who ended up catching a big break down the line.

Now to get this out of the way, I don't believe Monty shattered Bonnie or the theory that Monty hated Bonnie (I went into detail here if you want the full explanation). We actually can easily debunk that theory in a few different ways, but the main thing is everything we see about Monty implies he actually admired Bonnie.

In his ride you see how he looks at Bonnie, His Showtime outfit incorporates yellow stars (like Bonnie), and he even still uses Bonnie's bass.

Now if you hate someone, if you hate them enough to kill them and take their place because you felt you deserved their fame, would you emulate that person? Would you use and wear their items, thereby constantly reminding yourself of someone you hate so much? Why would you go through the trouble of getting rid of them, of wiping them from everyone's memory, just to keep things that will always tie you to them? That doesn't make much sense to me.

You could argue that the items are trophies of his 'kill', but wouldn't you keep trophies or things of the like somewhere no one could see them? Why flaunt them and again, bring attention to this person that you hate so very much?

I think it's the exact opposite. Monty admired Bonnie, the depths of which we probably won't ever know the extent of, and when Bonnie disappeared, Monty took his place but never forgot the person who got him there. He wears Bonnie's glasses (which we never see Bonnie wear aside from in his neon portrait, which may imply that he might have given the shades to Monty directly at some time before he was shattered) and he uses Bonnie's bass, which was ALSO given to him according to the Gator Golf ride

I've seen people say that this scene is actually showing that Bonnie was just setting his bass aside after a show and Monty stole it, thereby using it for his own gain and I. . .don't see how people can infer that from the image? It looks like Bonnie is literally holding it out to Monty, who is on one knee and accepting it with respect and a cheerful expression on his face. Besides, you need some MASSIVE balls to just. . .steal a band's instrument after the show and just get away with it? Especially from what we see in game, there'd be no feasible way Monty could do that without the audience or technicians being like "What the fuck are you doing"

So yeah no, this looks like a mutual passing of the torch.

Anyways, Monty uses the shades and bass as a nod to Bonnie, he was a sweetheart with a baby face who got thrown into fame to replace his idol. I think, in some regards, Monty might've felt conflicted. Like, here he is in his dream job, but at the cost of someone he cared about.

You know who Monty DID hate though? Freddy. We can infer from plenty of sources and in game material that Monty HATED Freddy, and the reasoning for that could be literally anything, but it's not odd for a bandmate to dislike their leader/member because they're more popular (you see it a lot in IRL bands too, the favoritism and jealousy)

It's also easy to see that fame changed Monty, as it does for plenty of people. Having so many eyes on you, feeling the euphoria of all the love and attention day in and day out, it gets to your head. It changes who you are, muddles your humility. And we can see that Monty acts in the stereotypical Rocker way, conceited, destroys his greenroom and other things after shows, etc. It's an all too common trope and its sad to see it happen to Monty, though a lot of his rage could also be compounded by Glitchtrap/Vanny/Mimic being annoying (Notably, you never hear of Monty destroying his shades or his bass. Perhaps there are some things that he's oddly protective of)

And then in the main Security Breach, you only meet Monty at his worst. Angry, Corrupted, feral. You spend your time running from him (since Bonnie's shades protect him from most of Gregory's gimmicks), you hear from second-hand conjecture that he was probably the one who shattered Bonnie (which probably weighs on him too, the children asking where Bonnie is, and the technicians maybe side-eyeing him thinking that he's just a meathead who destroyed Bonnie to take his place) and each time you see him, he just gets more and more split from that sweetheart who was happily playing in his swamp.

Not to mention how he "dies"

Monty comes for Cassie, ruined beyond salvation, his mind still gone from all of the torment he endured being controlled and shattered over and over. To save herself, Cassie uses the Faz-wrench to activate the power and escape, only for the electric currents to turn the water into a death trap.

The thing that decommissions Monty, that finally puts him out of his misery, is Bonnie. That's Bonnie's neon portrait (a bit damaged from the dilapidated building) and it is the very thing that electrifies the water, destroying Monty's hardware. Whether or not its karma for Monty shattering Bonnie, or some sort of heartfelt prose that the thing that finally allows Monty to rest is the one person he cared about most, who's to say? You could argue it both ways, but isn't it just a tad more comforting to think that even in death, Bonnie was always looking out for his understudy?

Monty's story and character progression is a trope of Falling from Grace, of Icarus flying too close to the Sun and plummeting to the unforgiving earth. The more I learn about him, the more I feel bad for him. I think he deserved better. Roxanne for her redemption in Ruin, but Monty is left open-ended. A monster and murderer to some, a washed-up rocker to others.

But I think Montgomery was more than that. I think he had the capacity for gentleness and love, but he was in a position where the world was against him. His older and more experienced bandmates always destined to be loved more than him. He was basically an entry level teenager around mastery level adults. He might've lost his mind back then to the pressure and the negativity, resorting to violence for attention. No one was there for him, and Bonnie, the only person who probably would've been there for him and understood him better than most, disappeared without a trace, leaving him all alone in a world that would never fully accept him.

Yeah, I like Monty a lot.

[sholangagaga]

These are all really valid points, definitely stuff that I too had thought of while pouring over the stuff I needed to craft some of my Bonnie and Monty theories.

I think it'd be utterly fascinating to see and hear in canon that Monty's "hatred" of Freddy was, in and of itself, another trope perpetrated by the technicians or FazEnt themselves. I mentioned somewhere that Monty's reactions to Freddy definitely fell in line with the band trope of favoritism and jealousy due to the differences in popularity, but it was always easy to infer that Monty simply hated Freddy and that's all there is to it.

But if we go the route of "Everything we know of Monty is conjecture and could be a set up to frame him as the bad guy", it is pretty easy to see that maybe, yeah, he didn't hate Freddy. Maybe they had some bad blood or awkward interactions because of Bonnie, but we definitely know that Freddy doesn't have a hateful bone in his body, so it certainly wasnt Freddy who instigated or nurtured those feelings in Monty.

I explained this somewhere (I actually have a post where I look into the theories surrounding Monty hating Freddy) but there's a lot of things that pushes us towards the outcome of "Monty at the very least doesn't like Freddy" since the only "relationships" we see of Monty are either involving Bonnie (admiration) and Freddy (jealousy/hatred/whatever theory you run with) but its incredibly fascinating to realize that maybe I was theory crafting all wrong

This theories revolve around the potential of Monty being framed or type-cast.

We could potentially prove that Monty never killed Bonnie. We could potentially prove that Monty maybe wasn't as jealous as we first assumed. So why couldn't we potentially prove that the "feelings" Monty has maybe weren't his feelings at all and was just the persona that the technicians and FazEnt made to surround him?

Looking at it that way, maybe Monty is even more tragic than I first assumed. They're trying so hard to build him as a loner and a jealous asshole, but maybe he's none of those things at all.

Perhaps I'm guilty of being fooled by the tropes too

What's your opinion on Monty?

Oh I've been waiting for an ask like this to come across my inbox after how popular my Bonnie theories have been. (full theory and spoilers under the cut)
