Wait I thought that everyone knew in canon that Bonnie was decommissioned?

This is gonna be a long answer so I'll put it under the cut. Very slight spoilers to an easter egg in Ruin

Apparently there's some confusion about this in the fandom but to reiterate to everyone who doesn't know; No one knows that Bonnie was shattered and is still within the Pizzaplex

No one.

Not the technicians, not Fazbear Entertainment, not the other animatronics.

To everyone in canon, Bonnie just up and disappeared one day under mysterious circumstances.

But Lonnie! you ask, your eyes innocent and wide. That doesn't make any sense! How could a giant 7ft robot disappear???

Well, according to what we learn in Ruin, he didn't actually disappear. We as the audience know where he is and know what happened to him. Everyone else? They have NO clue.

Your first key in to this is when Gregory first sees Vanny and tries to inform Freddy. To which Freddy responds with There are no rabbits at the Mega Pizzaplex. Not anymore.

We've already seen the animatronics go through hell and back and still be functioning. We've also see how FazEnt is REALLY unwilling to change or fully decommission animatronics because of how much it'll cost unless something impossible to cover up happens (Ie. the Missing Children Incident, The Bite of 83 and The Bite of 87)

As far as we knew, Bonnie hadn't done anything that drastic. None of the Glamrocks have, so what on earth could warrant him not only being fully decommissioned, but also completely wiped from the face of the Pizzaplex?

We get the answer to this question in bits and pieces throughout SB in the form of the dufflebag notices. There are two (three if you're annoying like me) very interesting ones that allude to Bonnie's fate.

Re-Theme, MISSING, and Monty Mischief

What do all of these have in common?

Well, they tell a story, albeit a very patchy one, but a story nonetheless.

Now, its important to note here that while Bonnie was still active (either as a band member or after his retirement) Monty Golf was very much an established attraction. This means that Monty wasn't made or pushed into the Pizzaplex to replace Bonnie outright. He was just another animatronic who spent his time in his own little place and did his own thing.

In Monty Mischief, we learn about how we're to stop Monty.

ERRANT BEHAVIOR REPORT - Monty didn't show up for the main stage performance again. We found him in the same place we always do, the catwalks over Monty Golf. We can't have a repeat of last month. Someone hit the hole in one and the hurricane bucket knocked him down. Both legs were broken and required emergency parts and service work.

Monty heads onto the catwalk every now and then, which is dangerous for him because the catwalks are prefaced by the blasters and Hurricane bucket. So, Monty is in danger of getting whacked off the catwalk and getting damaged.

In MISSING, we get our first clue into what happened to Bonnie on his final night active

SECURITY REPORT - 12:24AM - Bonnie is seen leaving his green room in Rockstar Row heading East towards the atrium. 2:40AM - Bonnie enters the East Arcade. 4:12AM - Bonnie enters Monty Golf.

Now this notice doesn't explain much. But once you look deeper into it, you start to find some odd tidbits within the notice that doesn't make much sense.

At nearly 12:30am, Bonnie left his green room and headed East towards the Atrium (which is the big squarish space in the center of the Pizzaplex) To explain it better cause the map is a big nondescriptive, the Atrium is that huge area with the main stage and all of the tables that leads to each attraction

Bonnie went EAST (or right) from Rockstar Row (which is the area right above the Atrium, where all of the animatronics themed rooms are) So assuming he was standing in his green room and he walked out, he would have walked down the rightmost path, where Roxy Raceway and Bonnie Bowl are located. (On the map, that would be the lefthand side. I know, that's confusing directions wise, but it would have been HIS right being the MAP'S left)

He went towards and entered the East Arcade (which would be Fazcade according to the map. The West Arcade is the Super Starcade)

Now, Bonnie left his room at 12:24 and got to the Fazcade at 2:40. That's almost 2 hours and 16 minutes of movement time.

Now we as the audience know that it doesn't take 2 and a half hours to clear a straight walking path. Gregory (and even Freddy) can clear that distance in less that 30 in game minutes. So what took Bonnie so long?

Normally I would say that maybe he was being stopped by kids or something, but this was well after closing. There shouldn't have been any kids or autograph opportunities, and unless Bonnie was walking at a snail's pace or in slow motion, it shouldn't have taken him so long to get to the Fazcade.

The next time stamp is even weirder. At 4:12am, Bonnie entered the Monty Golf (Directly across from Roxy Raceway on the righthand side of the map while below it is the Daycare)

It took Bonnie an extra 1 hour and 32 minutes to round the rest of the Pizzaplex (assuming he didn't stop and do something in the Fazcade) and end in the Monty Golf. And then from there, the name of the transmission is "missing" and there are no further time stamps, implying that Bonnie never left Monty Golf after that point and there are no further reads on his location.

So, he spent 3 hours and 48 minutes going to two specific points on the map only to vanish without a trace.

The next notice, Re-Theme, we get a bit of the aftermath of Bonnie's disappearance.

MANAGEMENT REPORT - The bowling alley needs a re-theme. While most of the Bonnie art was removed, kids keep asking, 'Where's Bonnie?' Do we have an officially approved response?

This is a notice from management themselves. Apparently, even though Bonnie hasn't been active for a while at this point, there still isn't a company approved response for WHERE he is. Not what happened to him, WHERE he could be. This means that after Bonnie entered Monty Golf according to the timestamp and never left, they must've searched the area and ended up being unable to find him, which led to them quickly changing gears and throwing Monty forward to take over. (Which is another discussion all together, I personally don't believe Monty hurt Bonnie, despite what the game wants you to believe)

In Ruin, we see what became of Bonnie and where he actually was after all of this time.

In the rundown Bonnie Bowl at the end of the alley, there's a sign that fell to block off the pin mechanisms against the alley wall. Deactivating all of the patpats (Wet Floor Signs) in the Ruin campaign will cause the sign to be removed, leading to a little rabbit (haha) hole. Going through the hole leads to a storage/recycling area for the bowling balls (I'm not bowling alley literate, its that machine that catches the balls and sends them back to the sleeve thing near the seating/scoring area so you can get your ball back)

And, laying there amidst the ruined machinery and surrounded by four patpats, is Glamrock Bonnie

He's apparently been there for a while, but he looks relatively untouched from the decay and ruination of the other animatronics (probably because he wasn't moving around and instead was completely stationary) ((some people mention how he seems to be missing his endoskeleton/major machinery but this post isn't about what happened to him/how he was shattered, this is just about his disappearance and subsequent location))

The fact that Bonnie has just been laying here, untouched, his only company being a few bear-eared patpats, means that NO ONE knew he was back here. If the technicians or FazEnt knew he was back here, they would have repaired him. And we KNOW that they could repair him from any state of disarray or damage because we've seen and heard of this happening before (Monty with his broken legs, Vanessa mentioning to Freddy how they can "slap his shell onto another endo" if he keeps misbehaving)

And even if Bonnie couldn't be repaired enough to take the main stage again, they could at least repair his shell or make him a permanent fixture at the Bonnie Bowl and complete retire him without leaving him in the back of a bowling alley to rot away.

Now how he got back there, I've got a few theories but again, that's another post for another day. But it's a bit sad to learn that Bonnie never really disappeared. He'd been injured in some way and went back to his home to basically die, and no one knows what happened to him. Not even Freddy, who loved and misses him so much, who probably would have been so happy to learn that Bonnie was right there the whole time and all they needed to do was repair him

But he doesn't know.

No one knows.

And since that scene is an easter egg and not an actually scripted story event, there's a very good chance that no one will ever know Bonnie's final resting place.

And that's so very sad

4/5.... what do you mean my last chapter was in june?

ah, sorry, sorry for the wait. here's chapter four, we're almost done! please enjoy. its the same length as the last chapter which, in case you forgot, was 40k. i have no words left to spare

[rabble-dabble]

Okay, I've been reading through our old Cancer King Karkat posts. Remember that tidbit I mentioned about every version of Meenah being destroyed by the Condescension?

Well, guess who is close to Meenah? Aranea! Arenea joining the King's Court to avenge Meenah! She tells the newcomers all the lore about all the other members and she gets to be smugly evil while she does it all the while! Perfect role for her!

if i had a serket who lost their ragtag close bestie/complimentary girlfriend and was utterly destroyed because of it, i'd have two nickles, which isnt a lot but its weird it happened twice. also AAAAAAAAAAAAAA KING CANCER KARKAT FANART!!! i know you didnt send a whole backstory for her but i came up with a few ideas

i imagine this aranea was particularly still close with her meenah when the condesension destroyed her. even if she was envious of her meenah's drive to be rich and important, being on the sidelines and losing her really fueled a rage inside her like unlike before. maybe unlike her alternative self, who merely wrote a fantasy pirate story to live up to an image she could never be, this serket truly found a ruthlessness inside her to avenge her meenah's ghost life, and destroy everything the condence was trying to do by joining karkat's court and building everything up to make the Final Battle, rallying the newest recruits with tearful stories of everyone else's fates and other timelines to inspire the rest of the court.

she carries two sentimental things with her at all times; meenah's ring and meenah's tridant. she's still a ghost, somehow, but that doesn't limit any of her abilities in helping round other ghosts that go against the court and the king's ultimate goal. her appearence sometimes throws other versions of her ghost friends and desendants off, but while using her silver tongue to defuse and lower their guard, others will swarm in to capture those who won't serve the king. she's saving her energy for the biggest threat, anyway, and one day when she unleashes it, it will be without any of the mercy the condense didn't show meenah when ending her ghost life.

hi! i just have a quick question about the literal translation you made of the dialogue of pizza. when he says "the true nature is still unknown to you" is he referring to karamatsu's true nature? like, is he saying that karamatsu doesn't know his true nature? or is he saying that the true nature of karamatsu's thoughts are unknown to him? OR is he saying that the true nature of karamatsu's exclusiveness (closer to the official tl) is unknown to him? also thank you so much for the tls of karamatsu's brand new world!

short answer: it's not stated, so it's up to your interpretation! this is a grammar translation quirk; in japanese, sentences often don't have a subject.

long answer: grammar lesson. for example in english a standard sentence would be like: "She was sad and cried." -> "she" is the subject of the sentence, we know who was sad and cried. but in japanese a standard sentence would essentially be, "was sad and cried"; who was sad and crying is usually implied via context.

the original sentence is "得体が知らない" (lit. "don't know [the] true nature"), with the subject of this sentence to be interpreted via context. english sentences sound very weird if you try to leave the subject out, so japanese -> english translations usually have to lock down on what they think the subject of a sentence is.

in the context of the original skit, where everyone is talking about karamatsu, it is pretty strongly implied that the subject of the sentence is karamatsu, so the translators translated it as "don't know [your] true nature" -> "you're a mystery". anime subtitles need to be read and understood quickly, so it makes sense to sacrifice nuance in favor of clarity.

when this sentence "得体が知らない" (lit. "don't know [the] true nature") is reused in the doujin, the wording is the exact same- the only thing that's changed is the context around the sentence, so the evidence you use to determine the subject of the sentence is is different. for a doujin that you can read slowly and are free to interpret, leaving room for nuance is arguably more important than clarity, which is why i included the translator's note; frankly there's like an 90% chance that the subject of the sentence (whats nature is unknown) is the same as in Pizza, which is why i didn't alter the wording in the typesetting, but there's a non-zero chance that it's referring to something else (like true nature of the reality he exists in), which is why i put the translator's note in :-)

(and actually even my literal alternate translation locked in on a subject where it was only implied: i decided that karamatsu was the one who doesn't Know, but it's never actually said who doesn't Know. for example it could be the Brothers that don't know. etc)

Last arcane episode ever..... here we fucking go....

[skitskatdacat63]

"Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily."

+ process(tw blood)

Also, look at him, bloody little guy 🥹

This drawing was inspired by several matador pics :D here and here:

^ I don't think I'll ever live up to the second one ah. There's several pics of that specific guy just soaked with blood, and I'm uh a bit obsessed with then ITS FUCKED UP I KNOW OKAY! But I've not drawn blood in a while so it was a bit difficult so I added less than I would want to I guess. Also I'm obsessed with how often they kneel in bullfighting?? Like okay who are you arching your back and spreading your legs for-

update: peach is doing very well!! she's eating and sleeping normally (sleeping more than normal, really, but that's to be expected)!! after 3 days of not sleeping and a few changes in painkillers, she finally just napped for an hr then, after another day, slept through the whole night (and most of the next day). she's started following all her usual routines again and is very keen to eat! still on some painkillers, but they're not having any horrific side effects anymore

now that im not staying up to keep an eye on her all night (while also dealing with upgrading my computer and my phone and also my sister preparing to go overseas and the dogs barking and howling constantly due to all of the above), i finally got some decent sleep too and slept for about 14 hrs. so today ive got that weird shakiness that i get from sleeping too much, but hey it's better than the whole of the last week
