╰ ౨ৎ PERSONALITY

MBTI: INTJ ❨ The Architect ❩

Personality Traits: As an INTJ, often referred to as ‘The Architect’, Luna embodies a unique blend of intelligence, strategic thinking, and an independent spirit. Her personality reflects a deep understanding of the world around her, often viewing situations through a logical and analytical lens. This makes her an exceptional problem-solver, able to assess challenges and devise effective solutions with ease.

Growing up in Kensington, London, Luna was immersed in a world of creativity and intellect. As an only child of a retired ballerina and an anthropologist, she was exposed to the arts and sciences from a young age. Her mother encouraged her to pursue ballet, starting lessons at the age of three. This early training not only honed her physical abilities but also instilled in her a sense of discipline and dedication. However, Luna often felt the pressure to excel, which led to her developing a strong work ethic and perfectionist tendencies.

Despite her outward confidence, Luna struggled with feelings of isolation. Her intimidating features and talent sometimes made it hard for her to connect with her peers, leading her to seek solace in books, art, and music. These experiences nurtured her introspective side, allowing her to develop a rich inner world filled with creativity and imagination.

During her training period, Luna’s INTJ traits truly shone. Her analytical mind enabled her to quickly grasp complex choreography and vocal techniques, allowing her to excel in evaluations. She was often dubbed the ‘Ace’ among her fellow trainees for her versatility and ability to adapt to various tasks effortlessly. However, this did not come without challenges; she faced moments of great pressure to live up to the title and of self-doubt, particularly in a competitive environment where she felt the weight of expectations.

Luna’s leadership qualities emerged during her training, as she often took the initiative to help fellow trainees improve. Her strategic mindset allowed her to navigate the often chaotic training schedule, and she quickly learned to manipulate situations to her advantage, especially during group activities or evaluations. While she maintained a somewhat aloof demeanor, her ability to connect with her peers through shared interests— such as crafts with Joshua or dance challenges with Hoshi— showed her capacity for forming meaningful relationships.

Now as a world known idol, Luna’s INTJ personality manifests in her strong presence and charisma on stage. She is known for her meticulous approach to performances, carefully analyzing each aspect of her shows to ensure they are executed flawlessly. Her strategic thinking allows her to anticipate audience reactions, making her a master at captivating crowds.

Luna’s intelligence also extends to her interactions with fans and the media. She navigates interviews and public appearances with ease, often using her wit and charm to leave a lasting impression. However, she remains somewhat guarded, finding it challenging to open up fully about her feelings, particularly in the context of her somewhat complicated relationship with Jeonghan.

While she is often seen as intimidating due to her ‘resting bitch face’, those who take the time to know her discover her warmth and loyalty. She is protective of her fellow members, particularly the youngest ones, and values the deep connections she has formed within the group. Luna’s ability to balance her independent spirit with her caring nature makes her a unique and multi-faceted character in the K-Pop industry.

Positive Traits: Independent, disciplined, versatile, charismatic, protective, strategic, analytical, ambitious, intelligent, loyal

Negative Traits: Perfectionist, aloof, stubborn, overly critical, reserved

╰ ౨ৎ HISTORY

1997-2011: Luna was born in Kensington, London, into a well-off family that nurtured her artistic inclinations. Her mother, a retired ballerina, introduced her to the world of dance, leading Luna to begin ballet training at the tender age of three. This early exposure fostered her love for performing arts and instilled a strong work ethic in her. Academically gifted, she attended Southbank International School Kensington, where she excelled in her studies and developed a deep passion for music. Despite her wonderful childhood, Luna often felt isolated due to her personality, seeking solace in her artistic pursuits and immersing herself in the creativity that surrounded her.

2011-2012: At the age of fourteen, Luna made the pivotal decision to move back to Seoul, South Korea, to pursue her dream of becoming an idol. This transition marked a significant change in her life, as she entered the competitive world of K-Pop. She initially trained at YG Entertainment for a year, where she faced the rigors of idol training and learned to adapt to the intense environment. Throughout this time, she was constantly approached by PLEDIS Entertainment, a smaller company that offered her a chance to further her dreams. After much consideration, Luna trusted her instincts and made the bold decision to switch companies, believing it would ultimately lead her closer to her goals. She has mentioned in an interview that her leaving a huge and well known company for a smaller one was one of the riskiest thing she has ever done and yet she does not regret it.

2013-2015: Luna trained for another two years at PLEDIS Entertainment, honing her skills as a lead vocalist in preparation for her debut. During this time, she faced various challenges, including rigorous practice schedules and the pressure to excel among her peers. However, her determination and talent shone through, allowing her to form strong bonds with the other trainees. She was supposed to either debut in a girl group or as a solo artist, however, in 2015, Luna finally achieved her dream of debuting as a member of the co-ed band SEVENTEEN, alongside thirteen talented male members. This milestone marked the beginning of her journey in the spotlight, showcasing her versatility and dedication as an artist.

2015-Present: Since her debut, Luna's life as an idol has been a rollercoaster ride filled with both challenges and triumphs. She has navigated the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, facing public scrutiny and the pressures of fame. Despite these obstacles, the joy of being with her fellow members, whom she considers family, has been a constant source of strength. Together, they have achieved remarkable success, creating unforgettable memories and sharing their passion for music with fans worldwide. Luna's perseverance and commitment to her craft continue to drive her as she embraces the journey of an idol, always striving to achieve her goals and dreams.

yandere android foxy: “playmate”

content warnings: android (humanoid-robot) foxy, robot x human relationships, stalking, yandere, kidnapping, GN reader

Two months ago, they promised you that the job would be relatively easy and straightforward, that it was completely safe and effortless, that it would be easy money. Two months ago, you were promised a forever job, with high pay and minimum effort.

“Oh, yeah, this one’s a breeze.” He’d said. “Watch the animatronics, make sure they stay in place and don’t get stolen or something, and keep the place clean. Basically, sit in your chair and watch the cameras, yeah?”

What he failed to tell you was that the animatronics, or androids, rather, weren’t just some stationary object that followed basic lines of code. No, he conveniently forgot to bring up that they had minds of their owns, that they’d taken lives that were swept under the rug by corporate, that they were capable of violence, emotion, causing tragedy and suffering.

Your mind is in shambles as you stare at the security camera footage, eyes squinting to get a better look at what should certainly be your mind playing tricks on you. But, as you rub your eyes, it becomes clear that what you’re seeing isn’t a trick at all.

Foxy, residing in Pirate Cove, one of the main attractions in the Pizzaplex, isn’t in his typical position. Instead, he’s casually walking toward the camera that’s pointed at him, making your heart race with each slow step he takes.

He tilts his head and leans in, the camera shaking as he reaches for it, tapping the lens with a hooked hand before the reception cuts out, leaving his area on your security cameras as a static screen.

You don’t have time to reflect, because shortly after, there’s a tapping at the left side door of your office. Naturally, you flinch and get to your feet, sliding a hand over the desk in search of anything to defend yourself. You grab on to a security baton, one of the few things this crummy job had given you, and hold it at your side defensively.

It’s fruitless, because when he wants to get in, he does so effortlessly. He slams his hooked hand against the glass window of the door, reaching down to unlock the door for himself. He pushes the door open and walks in, brushing the glass off his hook.

“Mighty fine security you’ve got yerself there.” He comments slyly, raising his head and meeting your eyes. You can’t help the shiver that runs down your spine at the sight of his narrowed eyes, one covered by an eyepatch, and the scratches on his body from being out of commission for so long. “Yer’ always just strain’ at those monitors with a tired look, nice to see a new expression on ya.”

“What the hell?” You murmur, gripping the baton. Foxy’s eyes dart to the weapon in your hand, then back to your face.

“Why so panicked? I ain’t gonna hurt ya.” He raises his hands, or lack there of, in protest. “Been outta commission for a time now, y’know? Been watching ya watch those cameras the last month, looked rightly bored.”

You scan his metallic face for signs of malice or instability, but find nothing. You relax your grip and posture, but stay on your guard.

“How would you know? You stay in that… tent… thing.”

“Ah! Me Pirate’s Cove, that there is!” He exclaims, suddenly proud of himself. “Yer right, can’t see much there, but word spreads. Cute security guard don’t go unnoticed, given the old men we usually get ‘round here.”

You hesitate, unsure how to interpret the compliment. “Word spreads… with who?”

“Yer a bit slow, aren’t’cha? ‘S alright. We animatronics ain’t just props, y’know. Chica’s real keen on ya.” He chuckles, but you hear the insincerity in his tone. He takes a step towards you, and you instinctively take one backwards. “Yer shift ends at 6?”

“Yeah…” You trail off, tightening your grip on the baton once again.

He looks up at the clock on the wall. “‘S about 5.”

“I—“

He swiftly takes your wrist, pulling you toward his cold, yet shockingly soft, body. “Ya went home early?”

“What? I’m still here.”

“That’s not what this note says.” He grins a golden toothed smile, sticking a sticky note to the desk and lifting you, slinging you over his shoulder effortlessly.

“Fuck! Foxy, put me down!”

“Can’t hear ya, darlin’! What do ya say we get you some sweets to keep you calm?”

[yamayuandadu]

Do you know why Amaterasu was seen as a male in medieval times by some scholars?

This is something I’ve hoped to properly figure out myself while working on the recent Amaterasu two-parter, but sadly I’m incapable of providing a single comprehensive answer. 

More under the cut.

The most direct treatment of this matter I found is Allan G. Grapard’s Of Emperors and Foxy Ladies - I have some issues with this article in general, but here is the relevant section:

Bernhard Scheid in an article published on his website in 2001 argues male Amaterasu was the most common sort of depiction through the middle ages (though he does note actual pictorial depictions are rare), and speculates the perception of her as a female figure in general was in decline. He cites the example of Amaterasu as a youth - presumably the phenomenon of depicting Amaterasu in the guide of Uho Dōji, discussed here. However, this is a much more complex matter than just “male Amaterasu”, and the identification in fact caused controversies at Ise, to put it lightly. Also, the two were initially perceived as entirely separate, as seen here. While there are cases which match Scheid’s general idea (ex. Tenshō Daijin Giki), as I pointed out in the two-parter in some cases Amaterasu’s usual gender was reaffirmed in sources explicitly identifying her with pretty firmly male figures like Brahma, for instance in the Watarai books. It seems there is no universal answer, tbh.

While there are cases which match Scheid’s general idea (ex. Tenshō Daijin Giki), as I pointed out in the two-parter, in some cases Amaterasu’s usual gender was reaffirmed in sources explicitly identifying her with pretty firmly male figures like Brahma, for instance in the Watarai books. It seems there is no universal answer, tbh. Mark Teeuwen in A Social history of the Ise Shrines: Divine Capital notes that while there are sources where Amaterasu is clearly male, gender in this context needs to be seen through the lens of esoteric Buddhist literature of the middle ages, where opposites can be presented as an unity - whether it’s genders, enlightenment and ignorance, or even Buddha and Mara.

The matter is obviously complicated by the existence of a theory that Amaterasu was originally perceived as male, and it was female Amaterasu who constituted an innovation. Teeuwen himself suggests that initially Amaterasu might have been seen as a male kami similar to Onamuchi, based on analogous descriptions of their activity in early sources. The fact that the sun corresponds to yang and thus is “masculine coded” is also frequently brought up as an argument; yin-yang principles were obviously well known in early Japan, so in theory Amaterasu’s gender does seem somewhat unusual. How did the change originally occur if we were to accept these arguments? Teeuwen points out there is a well established theory that the myths focused on Amaterasu and Ninigi and the unusual transition of authority from grandmother to grandson reflect a unique political event, the reign of empress Jitō. She had a son of another of Tenmu’s wives eliminated to secure the throne for her own son, but he unexpectedly passed away, so she had to be succeeded by a grandson. Since these events coincided with the compilation of Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, Teeuwen suggests female Amaterasu first developed as a mirror of Jitō to justify this unusual maneuver.

Anna Andreeva in Assembling Shinto. Buddhist Approaches to Kami Worship in Medieval Japan cites a similar theory - “originally a male sun deity (...) worshipped by local fishermen at Ise” -  but doesn’t go into detail. The source is Atsumu Wada’s article The Origins of Ise Shrine published in Acta Asiatica in 1995; sadly I cannot access it to compare how it differs from Teeuwen’s proposal.

Since the familiarity with Amaterasu outside the imperial family was limited prior to the middle ages I do not think there is a case to be made for medieval male Amaterasu constituting some pre-Jitō relic, though. Ultimately, as I said I can’t really give you a single coherent answer. I think there is a need for a full academic synthesis of all this information, perhaps covering the matter of Toyouke’s gender and how the different views on the connection between them might have shaped this aspect of their respective characters.

The Nightmare Capitalist Undertones of FNAF 4

I was watching Hippie Rat's newest fnaf retrospective, a great video btw that I highly recommend. At some point in the video he proposes that every fnaf game except for fnaf 4 is ultimately anti-capitalistic, focusing on the horror that is the lack of care that companies have on both their consumers and employees. However, thinking about it, I have realized not only does FNAF 4 have anti-capitalistic undertones but looking at the game under this lens made me realize that perhaps the answer to the game and what was in the box hinges on this concept rather than spoopy ghost stuff or even dream theory like many assumed.

First off, I have to give a name to the crying child. Mostly out of laziness of typing Crying Child out every time. Since the current most popular name for the kid is David, I will refer to him as that. But feel free to just internally replace that name with whatever you believe his name to be, as I don't really have a set answer myself.

Anyways lets set the stage for this theory, first we have to address a question of how popular Fredbears was in the universe of fnaf 4. I know that may seem odd when theres a lot more interesting things in the story, but trust me this is important for viewing the game under an anti-capitalistic lens. The first large clue is a tv playing something Fredbear's related, a show called Fredbear and Friends. You can deduce this is a show and not a commercial for the restaurant due to a teaser for fnaf 4 with words that can be filled in to say "Property of Fredbear's Family Diner", a clue hinting the location and year of the main story. So, thanks to the TV show, we now know that either the cartoon was popular enough to spawn a restaurant or the restaurant was popular enough to spawn a cartoon. But which came first? I think the answer lies in the bullies masks. In FNAF 3, the phone dude mentions finding a Foxy head.

"We found another set of drawings, always nice, and a Foxy head! Which we think could be authentic! Then again it might just be another crappy cosplay. "

When looking around, you can find said Foxy head and it seems to be made out of thick plastic and maybe even felt like what the official animatronic may have had.

Fnaf 4, being the direct sequel to FNAF 3 and (at the time) being the finale to the franchise makes it highly likely that the Foxy mask that Mike wears is the same Foxy head that Phone Dude found. Which confirms that Fredbear's was popular enough to possibly get official halloween costumes/masks that didn't have to be cut out from paper. If Fredbear's was a restaurant first, then a cartoon, it would be a lot less likely for Mike and the other bullies to have plastic masks.

The final answer to the question of "how popular was Fredbear's" is of course the toys. Several children in the game has either a set of Fredbear toys or a single Fredbear related toy.

These details help showcase what a media empire Fredbear's was. It was a popular cartoon, enough for not only a toylime and Halloween costumes to be made but also for an animatronic restaurant to be deemed as necessary. A way for children to meet their favorite characters in person.

So now I got the boring popularity stuff out of the way, it's time to analyze what makes how Fredbear's is depicted in the game so nightmarish.

First off, let's talk about the neighborhood kids. Each kid either talks about something Fredbear's related, usually pertaining to the toys they own of the characters.

Or mentioning David/his party

with one character doing both

This shows that David has no close friends and that no one in town is really all that concerned about his mental well-being. The implication given is that everyone in town is so obsessed with Fredbears, with maybe the exception of the jeans guy who might be the Bonnir mask bully seen in the final minigame, that the only reason they know about David at all is due to his upcoming birthday party, a chance to visit the location for free.

The second thing to note is the lack of parents, specifically David's parents, in the game. I personally believe Purple Guy was always intended to be David's father in the story for reasons that I will go into further, but even if you view the game under the assumption that David was originally not related to Purple Guy it paints a picture that his family is so busy with work that they can't take care of him or address his fears, leaving Micheal's actions during the day unchecked. It leaves open the question on if the parent(s) of David and Mike weren't forced into a position where they couldn't have the time to take care of their children would have the events of FNAF 4 had happened at all?

This gets to my next point, Psychic Friend Fredbear. Later games show that he might be controlled by William Afton through walkie talkie and merch refers the plush as being possessed. But I actually think the merch isn't true about the whole "possessed plush" thing and that William Afton isn't always controlling the plush. The main reason why I believe this is due to the dialogue of the Springbonnie plush kid, who asks where David's plush is, implying that he doesn't always carry it around. It is important to note that during the day this kid asks David this question, the plush is littered around the environment, at one point even appearing as a head of a flower. I think that the plush is actually at least partially David's imaginary friend, a source of comfort he pictures all around him during times of duress. This also explains why the plush's eyes are empty during the day where David interacts with the other children, there is no physical plush there, and David's imagination is only so strong to visualize it being there. The detail of the plush imaginary friend pushes the anti capitalistic message to the extreme, David has no true friends in town, so he can only imagine what he knows for comfort, which ends up being a plush toy of a corporate mascot.

This makes the last day before the party really interesting, as it is the only day without the words of the plush friend comforting David as a he cries locked up in the backroom surrounded by animatronic parts.

I think this scene, regardless if it shows a dead kid/springlocked adult in Freadbear or not, helps illustrate the true nature of Fredbear's, especially since this minigame takes place directly after the one where David interacts with the other children. While Fredbear's has a bright, cheery exterior that children love, deep within is a cold, metallic corporation that has little care for anything but profit. If this scene truly does showcase the aftermath of someone's death, it adds to the message of lack of care within the Fredbear's corporation, something that carries on once it rebrands to Freddy Fazbear's and continues on throughout decades.

So now the big one...

What I Think Was in The Box Under This Theory

Picture this: You beat the Clock Ending in FNAF World. The scene fades in to reveal The Box. Excited, you watch the two locks get unlocked and the lid of The Box opens. From The Box appears a legal paper dated 1983. On the paper is an assessment, perhaps from police or hospital, addressed to the owner of Fredbear's Family Diner, telling him the critical condition of his son post-bite. After the words appear to settle in, another thing arises from the box, a security badge with blood streaks on it. The badge is from the killer - the killer is the father of the crying child - the father is the owner and creator of the Fredbear's brand.

---

Why I Believe that Purple Guy was always meant to be Crying Child's Father

You may have read this note and been really confused. If you are new to the fandom, the killer being the father of the fnaf 4 protagonist is a well known fact. If you are a long time fan, it is something that is well accepted. But if you are like me, a long time fan that has been around since the beginning, you may remember not only how intense the 1983 vs 1987 debate was, but you may also remember how intense the backlash was to Purple Guy not being just an average guy who may or may not have been posing as a security guard with no motivations other than to kill kids. The reveal that Purple Guy was not only a father, but the owner of the Freddys brand and that his motivation was possibly to bring back his own son tore the fandom apart during Sister Location. This is part of why I believe that he was always meant to be the father of the fnaf 4 protagonist. According to Scott, whatever was in the box was something that the fandom may not accept. And the purple guy having more of a story than being just a motiveless psycho and there being two bites is/was absolutely controversial enough to fit the bill.

There's some other smaller details within fnaf 4 that make me believe this was always the case. The largest is the infamous easter egg of the purple guy suiting up an employee.

In Matpat's Dream Theory, he proposed this is what David saw and caused him to be scared of the restaurant. However, under this theory, I have come to another conclusion. Under this theory, this easter egg answers the question to why would David visit the restaurant he is so scared of before his birthday, and why his birthday is happening there to begin with. It's because his dad works there, but not only does his dad work there, he is also the infamous purple guy. I find that an interesting detail often overlooked is that purple guy isn't wearing his infamous security badge as seen in fnaf 2, but rather a nametag, implying that before he became a security guard he was in another position, cluing in the possibility he was also always meant to be owner of the Freddy's brand in some way or at least had some sort of employee position that wasn't security guard.

Some more stretchy details is the purple toy telephone during the nightmares, a possible reference to Matpat's purple guy is the phone guy theory, adding a clue to the connection between the purple guy and the child seen in the minigames.

Another potential, but heavily stretchy clue is this blue car in front of the fnaf 4 protag's house, which has a similar color to Bonnie as well as a similar design to the the purple guy's car as seen in fnaf 2. All of this is an admitted extreme stretch and should be taken with a grain of salt.

The main reason why I believe why Purple Guy was also always meant to be the owner as well is mainly due to FNAF 4 being meant as the final game, and the purple guy's story was a major one to wrap up. By making him the owner, it answers the question of why Fazbear Entertainment couldn't contact the owner of Fredbear's, he was already there right under their noses. It also provides a bit of hubris in the story, the reason why Fredbear's/Fazbear's management is so poor, the reason why his son died, it is all because of him. But like many managers and ceos, Afton fails to attribute these failures to himself, potentially blaming others in the company or those who took the company from him post-bite, leading to his stream of murders and leading to his ultimate downfall.

The primary reason why I believe all of these details would be revealed with a legal document and not a cutscene of some sort is to follow the trend the franchise had at that point, fnaf 1 ends with a paycheck hinting at the date, fnaf 2 ends with a termination slip, fnaf 3 ends with a newspaper. Thus it would make sense for fnaf 4 to have some sort of legal document or even newspaper tying the events of the bite with the larger story of the company and the murderer.

But you can see why this hypothetical ending would be controversial right? Not only would fans be unsatisfied by the date of the story, they would be disappointed by the murderer's status of former owner and father, the seeming lack of answers of crying child's fate for those who ignored fnaf world, the lingering mysteries of the puppet, and the loose thread of springtrap's whereabouts caused by the fnaf 3 newspaper.

This is why Sister Location and eventually Pizzeria Simulator was deemed necessary, a way to clean up all loose threads that may have been caused by this hypothetical ending. Which leads me to my next point.

The One Retcon

Many fans debate on the One Retcon, a retcon mentioned by Scott Cawthon that no one noticed. Under this theory, I think I have discovered what the one retcon may be. I think the one retcon is Henry becoming a game canon character. In the original story, there was no Henry, William Afton/Purple Guy was the sole and only creator of the Fredbear characters and brand before it got forced out of his hands after the bite of 83. There was no co-creator. Henry was only a book only character in order to give Charlie closer ties to Freddy's. I'm not really sure at what point Scott decided to make Henry a canon factor in the games, but I can guess as to why he did it.

My first guess is that Henry became canon in order to help tie up loose threads neater. His existence in the games helps add motivation for why Charlie's death was different from the other characters and why the Puppet is so special. It also makes the storyline of the failed contact of Fredbear's owner and the convicted killer in Fnaf 1 a lot cleaner. Now, you can say it was Henry who was convicted/contacted, rather than William, explaining Henry's absence as well as William being freely able to tear apart the animatronics after the events of fnaf 1. A storyline that is a lot messier if Henry wasn't introduced in the game canon.

Another possibility is that William being the sole creator of Fredbear's could have potentially made Scott feel uncomfortable, especially during a time frame where fnaf itself has become the multi-media franchise Fredbear's represented. Henry could have been canonized in order to provide a softer alternative to Afton for fans to look at in order to show that not ALL business owners are super evil.

I find it interesting that in the fnaf movie, Afton is heavily implied to be the only owner in that universe, with no Henry equivalent. Is his position in the movie a representation of what could have been in the original pre-henry lore? Is it a way to further decanonize him being the only owner in mainline fnaf? Only time will tell.

In conclusion, fnaf 4 shows a world in which corporate influences create a world where people show little care for each other or have the time to care for one another, ultimately leading to a long line of tragedy, in which the narcissism of those in charge makes them fail to realize that their actions can affect themselves as well.

[salteytakesonmanga]

I think it’s played up to show Arlong has the tendencies of a tantrum throwing five year old.

Anon is referring to this post.

I’m going to have to disagree with you there.

Arlong is not childish. Choo and Hachi are far more childish and impulsive with petty vengeful traits. Arlong is ruthless and calculating and is almost always chillingly calm. Even in the fight with Luffy, when he’s supposedly so enraged he’s at risk of destroying his “palace,” he’s still calm enough to pause in the middle of the fight and gloat. The repeated threat that Arlong will destroy a whole village or all of Arlong Park simply never materializes.

I think what happened here was Oda had a different idea for how he wanted the fight with Arlong to go, and for whatever reason he wound up not using it. Maybe because he wanted to go with a different direction once he got to that point, maybe because an editor told him to change it, maybe he just ran out pages to include all the scenes he wanted.

Calling his rage a “tantrum” and likening Arlong to a 5 year old child is… honestly really weird, when we have so many immature, childish, tantrum-throwing villains to compare him to (Buggy, Wapol, Foxy, Spandam, Ceasar, even Big Mom…) Contrasting Arlong to these characters you can see how different their attitudes are.

I’m guessing you’re reading Arlong’s character through the lens of a particular trope or characterization you’re applying from another source, which is a legit way of approaching characters, but I think you’ve way oversimplified. Just because one character gets angry and loses control as part of their childish character doesn’t mean every single character who flies into a rage is also childish. I tried looking for other ways in which Arlong is “childish” and I simply don’t see any.

It's weird holding dual beliefs about the nature of some headmates and their source.

On the one hand, Foxy and Ny view themselves as castaway souls; beings reincarnated after a sort. They view their home as a world unto itself that through something like prayer or astral projection they can revisit in a way.

But before Foxy got conscious or Ny arrived in earnest, their home was a campaign setting and they characters. It still is honestly, as ttrpgs are how we write and create instead of traditional novels and short stories.

So it's weird sometimes being agnostic or holding cognitive dissonance on the subject. Sometimes it's easier to talk about and describe things with a lens of "this is a fictional setting" and other times with a lens of "this is their past life". Sometimes one makes the other feel like a lie. Trying to keep any form of consistency is foolhardy at best.

The Park Ranger - (Lee!Phone Guy, Ler!Animatronics) (Freddy and Friends on Tour)

Summary: Freddy discovers a sweet park ranger putting up safety signs. His name tag has been scratched off and he seems kind of nervous. After investigating, Freddy finds his boss and evidence of abuse. Can Freddy help this poor man? // Warning for dark themes, through the lens of children’s show characters.

...

During one of his treks around the area, Freddy found a man in the forest putting up signs. The signs warned people that there was dangerous wildlife in the area and for them to be careful around it. Freddy appreciated the warning, but he was perfectly happy performing here. After all, he could easily scare anything unpleasant off if he had to. The man smiled and leaned against a tree, deciding to take a break and watch the performance.

Freddy smiled at him and performed with the band. Later, he came by to introduce himself, but found the man had fallen asleep! Heh. Well, he knew how to fix that!

"Tickle, tickle~!" he teased, drumming his paw pads along the man's sides and waist. The man kept his eyes closed, but tensed and started to laugh.

"Hahahahahhahaaa! Q-quihihiihiiit ihihihit! Ihihihih'm awake!" He laughed, wiggling around and pushing Freddy's paws away. Looking up, he gulped, seeing how large Freddy really was. "Heh. S-sorry I fell asleep during the concert! N-no hard feelings?"

Freddy looked at him sympathetically. "Of course not. We all need our sleep. And you look like you need more of it!" He noted his eye bags.

The man looked away. "Uhh, yeah... I kind of need to work eleven hours a day right now, without overtime. M-my boss isn't too happy with me, b-but I'm trying my best, really!"

Freddy tilted his head, wondering who the man worked for. And why they demanded so much of him. "Well, you can rest in our van if you want."

"No, I-I can't!" The man looked down at his watch worriedly. "I-I've got to get back real quick! The boss needs me."

He ran back into the woods before Freddy could ask any more questions.

...

Later, in the van, he'd told his friends about the mysterious man.

"Awww, poor little guy! It sounds like he needs a friend." Chica said worriedly.

"Yeah, we should talk to him before we go. Maybe give him free concert tickets?" Bonnie offered. From the corner, a voice piped up.

"...Ayyy, it's worse than that, me friends. I'm afraid our poor matey's sufferin' from an abusive relationship. That boss is givin' him an illegal amount of work."

The others gasped.

"What can we do...?" Freddy said.

Foxy rubbed his chin in thought. "I suggest we don't take our eyes off him."

They came over to the window to check on the man. And he was gone.

...

At a lone cabin at the edge of the forest, there was a single light flickering in the window of the room.

Freddy knocked on the door.

"Is anyone home?!"

There was a scuffling sound as whoever it was came to the door. It was a brown haired man in a purple uniform. He grinned at Freddy.

"Oh, hello. Don't worry, Mr. Bear. There have been no forest fires around here recently! You may go now." And he hurried to close the door. Freddy held it open.

"Wait. I'd like to come in and talk to you a little. Are you employing that nice young man who put up the signs?"

Purple man's smile fell. "Mm. Perhaps..."

"Can you tell me where he is right now?"

Just then, someone came out of the kitchen. It was the man who'd put up the signs. And he was holding an ice pack up to his cheek. He looked curiously to see who was at the door, but quickly stepped back into the kitchen when he saw it was Freddy.

Freddy rushed inside, not bothering with manners. Going right up to him to check him over. "Hey! You! Are you alright?"

The man backed up more.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine! I just, uhh, slipped on some ice!" He said quickly.

"But it's summer..."

Seeming more panicked, he took Freddy's hand and began to lead him to the door.

"Please. Y-you need to go now. Trust me, I-I'll be fine." He smiled, trying to look convincing. As he looked up at Freddy with his fake grin, he realized he forgot to press the ice pack to his cheek. There was a dark mark that looked like it had been made by a hand. And there were multiple points of impact. The ice was quickly put back to hide it.

Freddy growled. "No." He glared at the older man in the purple uniform. He was smiling back at him from the sofa, holding a cup of tea. Like there was nothing Freddy could do and that he needed to leave. Freddy felt an overwhelming urge to clobber the guy right then and there. But sighed and walked up to the door. He felt horrible about leaving, but he didn't want to just attack someone and get sued. So he'd go. There had to be something else he could do...

...

Coming back to the campsite, Freddy told the rest of his band what was happening.

"Poor little guy..." Foxy said. "There must be something we can do."

"Like what?" Bonnie said.

The others thought for a while.

"Well, hmm..." Foxy said. "Now bear with me on this. How about we invite him on our tour? That way he doesn't have to deal with that smelly old brute."

Freddy raised his hand. "Wait. I've seen what he's like. He thinks he's fine, and would probably shoo us out of there..."

Chica put her hands on her hips. "Then what do you suggest?! Kidnap him??"

"No," he shot back. "There has to be a better way."

...

So there the man was, sleeping on the bed in the back of the van. Freddy had made sure to scratch some things up in his old room to make it look like a wild animal had come in through the window and had gotten him. It had been 12 hours since their little heist, and the man was still asleep. The sun was just beginning to rise.

"You think he'll be mad at us...?" Bonnie said.

"Oh yes," Chica replied. "Very, very mad."

Freddy was driving, but he was very worried. They'd just made an impulsive decision to save someone that could cost them. He hoped they made the right choice.

"W-who'll tell him the bad news?" Bonnie wondered. Foxy trotted over.

"Make way, will ya? I'll tell 'im." He sat down in the booth in front of the man and looked him over. It appeared that the man's nametag had been scratched off by a pin. He wondered why. "Err... landlubber, we've err, set sail."

The man hummed happily in his sleep. He was kind of handsome, with light brown hair and soft features. Foxy smiled.

"Ain't he precious?"

He reached out to nudge his shoulder to try and wake him. But the man just rolled over, refusing to get up. Foxy looked at the scene helplessly. Observing his hook, he knew he could easily hurt this man, and that wasn't what he wanted.

Chica chuckled, and handed Foxy one of her feathers. "I have an idea!"

Remembering Freddy's actions at the start of their concert, he grinned. So Foxy carefully secured the man's ankles, being careful with his hook and only pierced the couch cushion. Chica slipped the man's shoes off and paused. She brushed the feather over his socked feet to see if that did anything. A flinch, but nothing more.

So she continued slipping off his socks, and then ran the yellow feather along the sole of his left foot.

The man curled up, giggling.

The friends smiled.

"Aww, is someone ticklish?" Bonnie said. He observed the scene with a grin.

"N-noooooo~!" the man whined.

"Someone needs to wakey wakey!" Chica sang, brushing her wing all over his soles.

"HAHAHAHAAHAAHAAAHAAHAHAAAA!" He gasped, not expecting a full attack so soon. And realizing his feet were trapped. "OKAHAHAHAHAHAY OKAHAHAHAHAAAAY! I'LL WAKE UP!"

Curling up and opening his eyes, he saw the band members whom he'd dreamt about having actually put him in their van. And they were moving.

"Wahaait. W-what's going on?" He looked out the window. "Where are we headed? What have you done...?"

Instead of sounding mad, his voice was sad and a little fearful.

"We rescued you, silly!" Bonnie said. The others nodded.

"Ayy, it's true." Foxy admitted. "We didn't want you around that rapscallion any longer. He wasn't fit to scrub barnacles off the sides of me boat."

Freddy turned around in his driver's chair.

"It's not really a kidnapping. You can get off the bus at any time. If you want, we'll drop you off at a police station and they should be able to help you. Put you in protective custody and all that." He explained.

The man blinked away tears. "N-no one's ever c-cared about me this much... T-thank you. But h-how do I know your plan will work? I-I don't want him coming after you too..."

There was worry in his voice.

"Hey." Foxy placed a hand on his shoulder. "We'll take care of it, alright?"

He didn't have a plan but didn't want the man more stressed than he already was.

And then there were arms around him. And there were tears. Lots and lots of tears. Foxy didn't know what to do, since he wasn't usually the one people sought comfort in. He uncertainly patted the man's back.

"There, there... Things will be alright. Don't worry about a thing."

...

It was now midnight of the following day. The man had sought custody and was assigned a therapist for what he'd went through. The band was stopped at their last location for the tour. Freddy was currently on  the phone with the manager. He looked more and more down the longer the call went on.

"Bad news guys... Our manager quit; he said he found all the constant hassle of the job was too overwhelming. He's settling down for something more local."

The others gasped.

"But-but what about the band?!" Chica said.

"Is this our last spot ever?" Bonnie said worriedly.

Foxy hummed. "Perhaps not. I think we know a guy..."

It was a bit of a long shot, but they had nothing to lose. So they called up their friend.

"Hello-hello?" he answered.

"Yes; it's Freddy and friends. How are you doin'?"

"A-a lot better, actually."

"Okay, so we might just have a job offer in store for you. It pays better than what that jerk gave you, and for less hours. You'll be our new manager! So, what do you think?"

"Oh, yeah. Uhh, what will I be doing?"

Freddy explained that the duties of a manager were to call different places and book showtimes for their band. He'd also be handling all the money and payment duties.

"Ooo, that sounds easy! I'm in!" He said with a smile.

"Great!"

Freddy smiled as he hung up.

"We have a new manager!"

The others all cheered and high-fived each other.

I was tagged by @simpledontmeanpeachy for a Last Lines challenge.

Almost immediately, Barry made friends with some of the others in the shop, and easily fell into a good natured debate while Len poked around the display shelves to see if anything caught his attention.

For context, Len brought Barry to a comic book shop while they are absolutely, definitely, totally not on a date, what are you talking about, why would you think that?

There’s no way I’ll be able to tag as many people are there are words in this line, so I’m going to just tag the people I know are currently writing things.
