[aioliravioli-69]

Hear me out, what if...

I've got you all figured out Punko

[askquantumjeremyrebooted]

Jeremy: I think I've... almost... got it...

Jeremy: HOLY SHIT MICHAEL I DID IT!!!!!

Jeremy: ..........kind of.

Michael: No way!!! Hell yeah dude, I knew you could do it!

Michael: Wait what do you mean "kind of"?

Jeremy: Still can't get the stupid picture to work...

Michael: Ehh, fuck picture. We can just talk for now!

Jeremy: ...True! Speaking of--

Jeremy: *ahem* Hey everyone! Uhh, I'm Jeremy Heere. To make a long story short: I took an experimental supercomputer pill to improve my life--

Michael: But it sucked ASS!

Jeremy: Y-Yeah, but shit kinda hit the fan when we tried deactivating it and... *sigh* there's no way to explain this in a way that's simple...

Michael: He got turned half-robot.

Jeremy: No, that's not an accurate way to describe it--

Michael: Oh yeah! And he became an even bigger nerd than before.

Jeremy: Michael--!

Michael: Woops, sorry. An even bigger GEEK than before. My bad.

Jeremy: ...Fine.

Jeremy: Anyway this happened, like, two to three years ago. We were both in high school at the time.

Michael: Senior year!

Jeremy: And yet, finding a way to reverse this and get back into my REAL body is still not feasible... At least, so far.

Michael: He's gotten very good at doing a lot of other stuff, though!

Jeremy: Heh... Thanks...

Jeremy: O-Oh, uh, anyway! Um... Feel free to ask us anything! A-About all of this, or our lives, or anything else you feel like...

Michael: Just don't say anything gross, weirdos, I'm watching you.

Jeremy: Uh, yeah, I second that. Anyway! Ask away! :)

...

Michael: Hell yeah dude, you fucking RULE!

Jeremy: Aww, whatever man! It wasn't too tricky...

Michael: So uh... what about all of that rambling we did in the beginning?

Jeremy: Oh yeah, don't worry, I'll delete that before I post this.

[woah-uhuh-uhuh-uhuh]

[thesquirrelqueer]

my friend and I were talking about what if jeremy became a guidance counselor when he’s older so here are some random headcanons for that idea

“did you know mr. heere caused the squip incident of 2004?” “no way??? mr. heere wore his pants backwards last week there’s no way he had a squip” “maybe that’s why they don’t make them anymore.”

everyone knows “mr. heere” as the school’s cryptid. too damn tall. his wife is an actress, or is his HUSBAND a game designer??? he talks to himself sometimes. he’s got mountain dew varieties in the first aid kit in his office.

“one time mr. heere just grabbed open circuitry. I don’t know.” <- he’s immune to electricity post-squip

he has a group of ten children who follow him around like lost ducklings

he runs the performance art club (he’s got a hands-off club running approach. He runs it solely so that they’re able to meet every week, because the club can’t exist without a teacher or counselor)

christine stops by it sometimes and the kids are like IS THAT CHRISTINE CANIGULA??? THE FAMOUS ACTRESS??? WAIT SHES YOUR WIFE???

all the kids are swarming her for pictures and autographs and she’s like “jeremy your kids have great taste in musicals”

btw he is married to both christine and michael in this. he wears two rings, one for each of them.

“mr. heere, you sometimes say wife, and sometimes say husband, uh… um… is your partner non-binary?” “oh! sell, uh, you see, christine is, they’re my wife, but my husband is michael, he’s a different person, I’m uh—“ “mr. heere is a player!” “n-no, guys, I’m polyamorous.”

one day the kids mention an indie fighting co-op game and jeremy is like “oh wow that finally came out? my husband worked on it a few years ago.” and the kids are BEGGING him to bring his husband in. as if his husband is a toy for show-and-tell.

How do you draw with rebornicas artstyle?

And how did you became rebornicas artstyle?

Well... LET'S SEE ... (i'm suffering, THIS AIN'T FOR THE WEAK/J btw english isnt my first language so excuse any mistakes :c) Ill tell you some things about the style but keep in mind, i've been drawing realistic stuff for years and also been drawing cartoons for about 2-3 years when i was a teen so keep that in mind, you gotta study other things too that i can't explain on a simple tutorial soo......

Ladies, gentleman and gay autistic aliens... I present to you...

MY REBORNICA TUTORIAL... SMALL... TUTORIAL.

(I ain't no professional on this, i'm a beginner on this style yet)

i think most of us try to go for the classic era but you can also go for the first one from fnaf 1 (You also gotta use the correct Mike uniform since the one where he has his tie on it's when he's working at the day shift because Jeremy took his shift instead :3)

When i was a kid and even this year i asked myself why all Rebornica's art was so fcking pixelated and thEN... I IMPORTED THEIR ART INTO MY ART PROGRAM AND DAMN DUDE, WHAT WAS THAT TINY AAAH CANVAS?!

Also, i personally use a very soft sensitivity for my wacom, the less you press the better(?)

There's a lot of detailed tutorials on how to study art from other artist, you can search it as "master studies" too i think. OBVIOUSLY studies are something you gotta credit ALWAYS, since it's a direct copy. Use references a loooot, i have a lot of references for these guys. ALSO, i recommend to study Mike at first since he's like the base of all the other characters!

I wish i could have made more of those Do's and Don'ts but i couldn't think of a way to teach some of them in a very simple way. But the most important thing to keep in mind is to not really try to correct much of Rebornica's old anathomy mistakes if you want it to be more authentic etc. :)

Here's some practice i did today before the tutorial and some from some days ago, I been drawing in this style since august approximately :D

Hope this helps even just a little bit, this can work with any style, you gotta learn how to study anything tbh!

Note: i might continue the tutorial later (reblogging this post) with some info about the body and stuff like that but you gotta know that at least for me (and other ex mutuals) faces/heads are the hardest in this style IDK WHY 😭

WARNINGS: Swearing

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Yall this chapter is so fucking short I'm sorry guys

Also spoiler for the chapter: I actually did find the manhwa from a Jeremy edit. It was actually a good one but I said in the chapter it was cringy because most of those manhwa type edits usually are

I was already on board with reading it because I loved Jeremy but then I saw a Dion version and I was like YESSSSSS

This is the link to the edit btw 💜

◄ PREVIOUS CHAPTER NEXT CHAPTER ►

It has been a few days since you were imprisoned in Dion’s room. The walls were suffocating at first, pristine and cold, an extension of the man who kept you here. Yet, despite the gilded cage, the days melted into something less oppressive. Every day, he would bring your food and stay in the room with you, his silent presence filling the space. He never left unless he had a mission, and even then, he would return late at night, his cold fingers finding your waist, his arms caging you in the gentlest way as he held you in your sleep. He so wants me.

Tonight is no different.

You stretch lazily on the bed, the only comfort in this strange place, and shift under the weight of his gaze. Dion, sitting across from you, eyes you with his usual piercing stare - cool and calculating, yet somehow indulgent.

“I need to pee,” you announce, shifting your foot in its restrained position.

Dion narrows his eyes slightly. “You went an hour ago.”

“Yeah, but I drank a lot of water because the chicken was dry.” You huff, folding your arms across your chest. “I fucking hate these historical manhwa foods. They look so good and amazing drawn out but they’re so bland it’s almost disgusting,”

His lips twitch, almost amused at your sudden use of vulgar language, but he lets out a slow sigh before raising a hand. The soft hum of magic fills the air, and the chain around your ankle releases with an almost reluctant click.

“Go,” he mutters.

You don’t waste a second. Scrambling off the bed, you rush into the bathroom and slam the door behind you, reveling in the brief illusion of freedom.

Once you return, you plop onto the bed without a care. Dion reaches for your ankle, his touch gentle despite his usual cold demeanor. His thumb ghosts over the faint dent left by the chain, and before you can react, he presses a soft kiss there, lingering for just a second too long.

Your heart stutters.

Then, without a word, he secures the chain back in place. You tuck yourself under the covers, burrowing into the warmth of his bed even though the sun is still visible beyond the curtains. Dion sits next to you, his presence an unshakable force.

“Can I see Roxana?” you ask hesitantly. “It’s been a while, and I’m kind of lonely.”

His reaction is immediate. A sharp glance, a flicker of something dark in his gaze. “Am I not enough?” The jealousy in his voice is quiet but potent, his words carrying a weight you’re not sure you can bear.

You sigh, offering a small, reassuring smile. “You are. It’s just… you’re not much of a talker. And I feel like talking.”

Dion considers this for a moment before responding. “Then talk. I’ll listen.”

You brighten at the invitation, shifting so you can face him fully. “Are you sure?! Okay! So, back in school, there was this one time-”

And just like that, you dive into the absurdities of your world. You tell him everything, sparing no detail, from catching two boys shagging in the bathroom to a teacher slapping a girl for being, in her words, "too stupid." You recount the chaos of the fire alarms being pulled five days in a row, forcing everyone to shiver in the cold while waiting for the teachers to finally let you back inside.

Dion listens intently, his fingers absentmindedly tracing small circles against your waist, a subtle touch grounding you both in the moment. He cares little for the words unfamiliar to him, rather the way your eyes sparkle in a way he’s never seen before when you talk about your home world.

Then, you shift topics. “Oh, how I even found the manhwa in the first place! So basically,” He raises a brow, intrigued. “I found it on TikTok. Someone made this super cringy 2022 edit of a character from it. I thought the whole thing would be just as bad, so I checked it out ironically. But then, it became my favorite novel. I was reading the final chapters when… well, I ended up here.”

Dion’s gaze sharpens. “Which character was it?”

You hesitate before admitting, “Jeremy. Timeskip Jeremy, specifically.” Dion goes eerily quiet. The silence stretches between you, unnatural and heavy. You continue talking, but the more you ramble, the more you realize - Dion hasn’t said a word. Hasn’t moved. Hasn’t even blinked. A chill runs down your spine. You poke his chest lightly. Nothing. His stare is distant, something unreadable lurking beneath it. You nudge him again, harder this time, accompanied by a whine. “Dion, hellooo? Are you seriously giving me the silent treatment?” you pout. “It was just an edit, you weirdo.”

Still, he says nothing. But then, his fingers flex against your waist, tightening ever so slightly before finally relaxing. He exhales, slow and controlled, before fixing you with a gaze so piercing it makes you shiver.

“Do you like Jeremy more than you like me?” His voice is dangerously soft, yet there’s an unmistakable tension beneath it.

You blink, startled by his sudden possessiveness. Then, before you can overthink it, you lean forward and press a quick peck to his cheek.

“No,” you say softly. “I already told you before - you’re my favorite character. And you still are.”

His grip relaxes, though his hand remains on you, tracing idle patterns against your skin. The room is quiet for a while, the weight of unspoken emotions settling between you.

Then, Dion breaks the silence.

“What does 'shagging' mean?”

You choke on air, whipping around to face him. He looks utterly serious, his head tilted slightly as he waits for your response.

A slow smirk tugs at his lips when he sees your flustered expression. You groan, burying your face in your hands. “Oh my god, Dion.”

He chuckles lowly, his breath ghosting over your ear as he leans in. His fingers find your chin, tilting your head up to meet his gaze. “You turn red so easily,” he murmurs, voice teasing. “It’s quite cute.” Your heartbeat hammers against your ribs. Dion shifts, pressing closer until you’re caged between him and the bed. His fingers trail along your jaw, his eyes dark with something unreadable. “If you keep looking at me like that,” he murmurs, “I might just have to do something about it.”

he's french. he's tall. he's a backliner. he doesn't talk to the press. he's perfect court but transferred from EAU to USC (which is literally the hugest change possible)

bing bang BOOM he is bitchy but quiet (probably raises his eyebrow in disdain a lot), a sturdy presence that is a little unsure of his place in the world but hides it behind bitchy comments who always strives to be better on and off the court.

But here on the bathroom floor, hugging his knees to his chest, Kevin could admit to himself that it was different than anything he'd done with teammates in the past.

It was different, because none of those teammates were Andrew.

About your AU essay.... I have no idea what you just said 😀

(listen I had a headache for the past 6 hours and this essay is frying my brain even more. I tried to take a nap and I just woke up and it's still here- I need help 😀)

THE GRAMMAR ISN'T GRAMMARING IN MY BRAIN RN 😭

It’s ok! It was kind of a ramble anyways 😅 a very messy one too LOL

But to summarize:

Evan, Mike Schmidt, Jeremy Fitzgerald, Michael Afton ( 3x because there’s FNaF SL, FNaF 3, And Pizzería Simulator ), and Gregory, are able to switch places with each other.

Example: Evan switching places with Gregory. Greg will be in FNaF 4 and Evan in Security Breach.

They can do this by using their respective “phone guy” phones. Evan uses his Fredbear plushie and Gregory can use his Fazwatch. Outside of switching, they’re also just able to communicate with each other too.

I’m still working on details as for why and it’s kinda messy 😅 I’m also so so so so sorry if it’s confusing!

I hope you feel better btw :)

[woah-uhuh-uhuh-uhuh]

Christine Canigula was socially ostracized & developed a complex to protect herself: an essay

(suddenly i NEED to infodump about Christine actually so here)

Something I only noticed on rewatch: the way Christine will say something silly and then just kind of gingerly wait to see if Jeremy reacts well to it before continuing, almost like she's asking permission?? (e.g. the gap after the first stanza of "Play Rehearsal"). And it's only after he riffs off her bowling alley bit that she feels comfortable talking about her personal feelings with him (right before "Guy that I'd Kinda be Into"). The same happens with their "weird noise" exchange immediately before "It's pretty killer to sit and chat with you." I know theater relies on being succinct, and that 'bonding over shared quirks' and 'feelings talk' are both just crucial parts of relationship development... but I don't think it's a coincidence that it always goes in that order!

It's like Jeremy has to pass these *trials of weirdness* before she feels safe opening up to him and it drives me BONKERS so I wrote a whole 1000 word thing about it under the cut and this got too massive and I'm sorry. Also some autistic Jeremy meta at the end if that sweetens the pot hehehe

Table of contents:

Why she was ostracized

How she was ostracized

How that might inform her pattern of relationship development with Jeremy and Jake

How gender caused Jeremy's experiences to differ from hers, and how that affects their current relationships with "popularity" and peer acceptance.

1. Why she was ostracized

I am just so certain that Christine has been bullied or at least majorly outcast for a lot of her life. She's very obviously neurodivergent and because of that she can have these obnoxiously deep and repetitive interests, she can't judge if a piece of information will be genuinely interesting to someone, and she doesn't take social cues very well.

She frequently interrupts people when they're talking (an ADHD symptom btw), even when they're literally talking to her about the thing she wants to hear!

(C: "Do you find that? Because I totally find that!" J: "Uh, yeah, I-" C: "-And no matter how hard I try....")

(J: "I know the last thing I deserve is another shot, but-" C:"Jeremy, just... say what's on your mind.") (girl I'm sorry but that's what he was doing..... I have a whole other thoughtpiece on how this particularly fucks with Jeremy while they're dating but thats another thing...)

She doesn't seem confident in her interpretations of people's emotions and she'll ask/talk about them point blank (both theirs and her own) in a way a lot of people would find rude

("Uh, you seem really nervous...") ("Popular people are fucked up! *mutual laughter* …I mean, you're one of them!") ("I am flattered, this is new / still I'm not sure what I should do" <- as a response to getting asked out, that's pretty bold! Plus the entire part where she laughs at Jake's "rich boy routine") (also compare and contrast to Jeremy's "I don't know what I'm supposed to say right now." idk. are your allistic stage dorks in the room with us right now motherfuckers)

I'd go on about her hyperfixations/special interests too but I think Play Rehearsal pretty much sums it up lol

2. How she was ostracized

All this to say that I am CERTAIN she spent a lot of her schooling having "nice girls" patiently let her sit with them at lunch for weeks at a time until they finally get sick of her rambling and faux pas. Only when they leave does Christine realize that they didn't actually care about anything she said... And this happens over and over and over. (I know this seems hella specific but I swear it's an actual phenomenon... at least I'm pretty sure? sdjflksjf)

But anyway, it's clear that by the time they're juniors, Christine has kind of (and I do only mean kind of) figured out what behaviour other people respond poorly to. And from evidence I stated in the intro, I think she's become really careful about which people she lets herself get attached to. She doesn't want this to ever happen again - which means if she's going to hang out with someone, she has to know that they actually care about her, that they know she will sometimes be obnoxious or blunt, and they'll still be okay with that forever.

3. Applying this to her canon relationships

You can extend this to Jake, someone who sees her in her element in drama rehearsal (the thing everyone finds annoying about her because she won't shut up about it) and STILL likes her. I think it's a totally valid reading that her bluntness with him later ("Upgrade") is just because she misreads him / doesn't quite get the social standard that she should be white lying instead. But I think you could also read her as testing the waters. If she's really going to commit to dating this guy, she's gotta know he's okay with her being herself. And the fact that this guy (and I think it's significant that he is a boy, for reasons I'll explain in the end note) genuinely seems to like her is a whole new level of peer validation ("I am flattered, this is new") -- so of course she's gonna fall at least a little! It doesn't hurt that he's "tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am..." just like her!

Her history with being pity-liked makes Chloe's "advice," that Jake's just toying with her and is going to move on soon, even scarier, because that's genuinely happened to her (on a platonic level) so many times before.

Jeremy is also a good candidate from the beginning because he's weird he's a weirdo he doesn't fit in and he doesn't wanna fit in you ever see him without this stupid cardigan on? that's weird! And she keeps warming up to him not only because they're getting to know each other but because he gets progressively more willing to not only tolerate (as Jake does) but *participate* in her weirdness!

First, she does something weird and he tolerates it ("Play Rehearsal"); the next time she's weird, he participates! (bowling ball before GTIKBI). Then finally finally finally he initiates the weirdness and lets her join in! ("weird noises" exchange before GTIKBI reprise).

And notably, it is THIS moment that canonically signifies that they've hit the apex of their canon relationship development. If there was an achievement called "Befriend Christine," it would have popped up right then and there!!!

IN CONCLUSION: YOUR HONOR I LOVE THEM T_T

4: Christine vs. Jeremy: Gender differences & how that ultimately impacts their social goals

I also think all of this would have happened to Jeremy too if he'd been a girl. But because, generally, young boys feel less social obligation than girls to take pity on the autistic kid (and because boys tend to be more quickly recognized as autistic) he just ends up completely alone for most of his school life (Michael nonwithstanding - and yeah there's an important distinction between your childhood friend putting up with you and knowing that, woah, I guess literally nobody else ever will).

Meanwhile, Christine has had people "put up" with her, and she's SICK OF IT!

That's part of why their complexes are so different, because Christine is trying to check everyone she meets to make sure they'll be okay with her weirdness before she gets attached, Jeremy is trying to eliminate his weirdness altogether because he's never even experienced his peers listening out of *pity* so how the hell can he expect someone to ever listen to him out of *interest?*

Jeremy has never had someone pretend to like him before, so he completely lacks Christine's fear of befriending someone who secretly hates you. He doesn't realize how bad it'll hurt him if he destroys his real self for popularity, if he befriends people who would have bullied his real self. He doesn't know what disingenuous friendship feels like, so like a very young Christine he's still actively trying to get there because he thinks it's the only kind of validation he'll ever get.

Do you see what im saying? Do you see it???? AUAUGUGUUGGH

THANK YOU FOR READING!!! If you have thoughts or even rebuttals please share i am so desperate to discuss the blorbos

I had a headcanon about Spy which consisted of him being catalan.

It started as a kind of Spanish AU I never finished but then I started thinking and researching and... it made sense.

You see, in the action figures we learn Spy speaks french, spanish and catalan (apart from english of course). Catalan is only spoken here in Catalonia and some other places like Valencia or Baleares: (also in a part of the south of France; Andorra, where it is the official language :] ; L'Alguer, a city in Italy; and some places of Aragón near Catalonia)

(I made the map myself and used it in a post talking about this theory)

And one thing you need to know is that, it is really unlikely that Spy learned catalan just because he wanted to. I'm 99% sure he HAD to have been born and raised in any catalan-speaking area. This is due to spanish being also spoken here, meaning that, if you know spanish, you won't really need to learn catalan (NOWADAYS you DO have to btw, specially for certain jobs or for education, but I doubt it was like that during the 1930's).

One of the things I also mentioned in my theory was how the Spanish Civil war (1936 - 1939) would have affected him and his family. Basically, it is not possible for him or his family to belong to Franco's side, as we have seen Valve confirming Medic is NOT a nazi before, and Franco was a fascist dictator who was in really good terms with Hitler. This means Spy (and his family) would 100% belong to the republican side.

"Okay, if he's catalan, how did he learn french?"

Republicans had to flee the country both during the civil war and specially after Franco took over Spain. Mainly because if they didn't, they would get assasinated for their political (and cultural) beliefs.

Lots of them moved to France. And during this time period I calculated Spy's age to be around 10 years old (if we suppose he had Scout at 18 in 1945). At 10 years old you can definetely learn a new language quickly (even a language like french).

"Okay, if he was already settled in France, why did he leave to the USA?"

Remember when I said Hitler and Franco were in pretty good terms with eachother? Yeah well, during WWII, when Hitler invaded France and found republicans who were hiding he put them in concentration camps or straight up killed them. So of course, this meant Spy (and I suppose his family too) needed to flee, again. And where did he go? Boston, Massachussets.

And then idk how but he met Scout's ma and when WWII ended Jeremy was born.

I'm not gonna check if there are typos or whatever because I'm too tired.

Anyways I love him dearly and I think he deserves someone who will cook panellets for/with him during Castanyada <333

goddamn!
