wait wait wait! if this Fred isn't our Fred its a prototype what happened to our freddy!? I am so confused lol I am glad that wasn't our freddy but still I want to know what happened to him and why he wasn't with Gregory.

Well, that I'm not exactly sure. It seems like the Princess Quest ending is the canon ending, so I assume his head is with Gregory.

I saw someone saying that it wasn't our Freddy but now that I'm thinking about it, maybe it was. Like, his head was salvaged but they never confirm what happened to the rest of his body.

OH! This is giving me ideas!

Maybe our Freddy was a prototype to the Pizzaplex and that's why he wasn't infected, because he wasn't fully integrated into the system.

Shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. Then copy/paste this ask to your favorite mutuals. 🎶

I couldn't pick just one because my taste is just that varied (and I rely so heavily on my daylists), but I'm laughing about what it gave me for shuffling my liked songs. I think I was in the top .05% of listeners for Low Mana last year, the 2nd is for when I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. I probably listen to songs like the 3rd playlist most often, and then finally my liked songs list.

Pro tip: if anyone claims to have died and been put in the game, they're trolling you and need to be killed

NOTED!

Uh.. Sure?

Hm..

Have you ever given any thought to the “what does John collect in his free time” question? I’ve heard chess pieces, stamps, etc., but I was wondering if you had any silly interjections on this topic.

Barbie dolls, perhaps?

John collects scars.

I NEED to know what was said.

Cuddling with Kid and Killer would be like...?

the safest place in the world I imagine.

Warm, snuggly

Oh wait, I got art from @magnuspool a while back that covers this well. It's OC art, but the vibes are there. (art of Quill before Quill was even really Quill.)

boob squishes all around <3

cuddling with peter and pillow talk… sighs

mmmmf pls☹️

he's definitely definitely the big spoon, one arm under your neck and the other around your waist. he holds u close to him, mumbling little phrases against ur neck in between kisses. you're absolutely blushing and thank god he can't see ur face because ur sure u would just explode.

his pillow talk wouldn't necessarily start as intimate as u think it would, it's mostly him just talking about ur relationship and how much he adores u.

"didn't think i'd end up back here to fall in love."

"u don't regret it, do u?"

"hey hey.. no no.. god no.. shit, i think i love you."

u giggled when he kissed ur neck again, burying his face afterwards and making u laugh.

"and like.. fuck, ur so pretty, so sweet.. mmf.."

you hadn't realised when u shifted ur body that u must've grinding up against him to make him groan. he did it again when u turned ur body around, straddling his thigh and curling up into his chest. the arm that was under ur neck was now around ur shoulders and the arm that was across ur waist was now over ur thigh.

"u think i'm sweet?"

u knew by asking that ur just provoking him, but u want to hear what he has to say—you just have to hear how much he wants u.

"in every sense of the word.. lookin' all sweet in those flowery sundresses u wear all the time, answering the door to the mailman like i haven't just fucked u in the kitchen like 5 minutes before.. and u taste real sweet too.."

and here he goes, the pillow talk now starting to make u shiver.

"and i mean it when i say ur real pretty too.. i see u in the garden watering the plants and i just.. i get so lost just starin' at you.. sometimes i think about calling u from inside the house, hoping u come back in and sit on my lap so i can see just how pretty u look up close.."

u drop ur head into his neck, one hand moving to grab his shoulder as he talked.

"and don't be forgettin' all those times u think i couldn't hear what u were doin' up there.."

"hm?"

"before we started doin' all this.. and i was just helping you around the house, i'd come upstairs to use the bathroom and.. shit.. the sounds u were makin' baby? sounded like a fuckin' angel's chorus.."

u just whimpered, squeezing ur legs shut around his thigh.

"could talk to u all night about how pretty and sweet u are for me but u need to sleep.. ok baby?"

"please?"

"nuh-uh sweetheart.. u need to.. fuck.."

your hand had moved down to grab him through his boxers and he just grunted in response.

"i.. i thought about you too, when u were helping me. thought about dropping to my knees and sucking u off in the kitchen.."

"you'd look pretty on ur knees, baby.. you'd look so fuckin' pretty.."

ur hand moved back up to rest on his chest, feeling him sigh when u pulled away from him. u were both getting each other so worked up but not enough to go again for round 2, the high from earlier just winding down now. then ur eyelids fluttered closed and he had managed to talk u to sleep. he glanced down and smiled when he saw ur eyes were shut. his initial plan wasn't to almost dirty talk u to sleep but he wasn't mad it happened in the end.

he placed a small kiss to ur forehead before he whispered an "i love you" into ur skin. he closes his eyes then too, not noticing the smile on ur face from what he said.

You guys should make an anons that made blogs club for this

we should!!

You got most things right about the scraffty behaviors! I don't have much to add. But, I do find it interesting how complex their social interactiond are. Scraggy aren't the only reptilian pokemon to be found in groups; Squirtle and Dragonite can be found in groups. But their social interactions aren't as complex as the Scraggy line.

My best guess on why they're so social is bcuz of vulnerability. They're constantly shedding, and that can leave their skin exposed, which can make their skin drier, but also makes them more vulnerable to enemy pokemon or predators. But, being in groups, there's safety in numbers, and having complex communication means you're able to deal with threats, find food, and find safety easier. Over time, this would then develop a need for social behaviour and interaction. Same reason why humans are social creatures; we don't do much other than walk really far and have hands when we're by ourselves, but together, we're powerful. It's the same thing with Scraggy.

I like to imagine that the Scraggy / Scrafty lineage has some weaknesses that relate back to being a social species.

Reptilian animals do not typically have overly social behaviors that humans are familiar with, so I instead turn the spotlight to birds. Parrots and parakeets, for example, have such high sociality that they mimic their neighbors’ calls, and become depressed when they don’t have a companion. Crows share the same traits, on top of a self-awareness that culminates in social cleverness and mischief.

The anime and games suggest that Scraggy and Scrafty aren’t typically friendly with outsiders; they are territorial, and they exhibit collective behavior (meaning, they are “herd animals”). The usual routine for an encounter by a gang of Scrafty is rejection and use of agonistic behavior to drive the other Pokemon and/or humans away. However, internally, groups of Scraggy and Scrafty are said to be closely bonded, possessing a social hierarchy. This would suggest a high possibility of complex social behaviors known together as prosociality, which includes prosocial behaviors like mutual cooperation, reciprocal altruism, and shows of empathetic emotional states.

To put it short, Scraggy and Scrafty would experience the highs and lows of social bonding, including regulatory emotional displays. Like shows of awkwardness, or sadness, or embarrassment.

They would also experience impact from nonpersonal interactions. For instance, they would also experience secondhand embarrassment from other members in their group. They would probably also engage in behaviors that might elevate their status or cover up their mistakes. Flaunting, intimidating, dominating; but for social achievement and not for serious results; EG, what humans would call “posing.”

Oohh the angst! I can play with this freddy being a prototype. But remember we didn’t see prototype on his foot in the base game? Yeah this is interesting. I might follow you for more because you got me curious.

Yeah, it's got really good angst potential, but what you just said got me thinking.

Did we ever see the bottom of Freddy"s foot in the game?

(that's a sentence I never thought I'd type)

Cause I don't remember seeing it (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong tho) but if you saw my last ask post, then you know what I'm considering the possible canon

But both scenarios have plenty angst potential!

If that WAS our Freddy:

Imagine what would happen if she and Freddy meet each other (because I have a feeling that's not the last we've seen of either of them)

Freddy would feel horrified at the idea of him terrorizing and hunting a child, even if that wasn't really him.

And Cassie would probably feel at least some form of resentment towards him for trying to kill her, even if he wasn't in control

If that WASN'T our Freddy:

Then Cassie would probably really struggle to not be terrified of Glamrock Freddy, and the thought of there both being another version of him in the Pizzaplex and that same clone hunting down a kid like what happened to Gregory-

It would probably reignite his existential crisis all over again.

Also, if you saw points 8 & 9 of my initial thoughts on Ruin, then he and Gregory BOTH got framed for terrorizing and traumatizing Cassie!

Over all, both of these have some pretty angsty potential.

I'mma jot this down for that Ruin AU idea I had in mind...

As someone with OSDD (if I’m right) what’s the worst misinfo about DID that us endos discuss in our spaces? /genq

JCYDJFCYS I love this question, I want my mods to jump in, too, but I'm going to spice it up with the worst misinformation from both sides.

For me, Dude, the worst I've seen in endo circles... is that DID is the same thing as mediumship. This is going to seem like I'm vagueing one of two people, but it's not you two (you'll know who you are). There's actually someone from before them that gave me the worst taste for that discourse, and probably made me a lot more angry about it.

In anti circles, it's got to be that dissociation is solely trauma-based. It's the most fundamental misunderstanding that leaks into everything else

I think those are my two biggest peeves.

-

Mod Quill here to say FFFFFF I HATE MISINFO. Gosh it really is in all the communities, too.

In endogenic spaces, it’s hard for me to decide, but I think it’s the idea that the ToSD is ableist because “it supports final fusion” (which is its own can of worms, which I think Mod Robo might touch on, if my guess is correct). The ToSD doesn’t even fucking mention final fusion get off it. I hear about the ToSD being ableist constantly, and genuinely, it seems like just being medical at all in any way is considered ableist…

Meanwhile, anti-endos? Good lord. The worst misinfo I see is the gatekeeping of trauma. “You can’t develop DID from XYZ” — congrats! You’re a fakeclaimer who doesn’t understand how trauma works. I pray no newly discovered systems find you.

-

Mod Robo here! Oh gosh, what misinfo haven't I seen? I swear I've seen the wildest shit!

Some of the worst stuff from pro-endos was them claiming or implying that CDDs are just the "broken" versions of endogenic plurality. I've seen people claim that DID doesn't require trauma, that the DID diagnosis only exists to stigmatize endogenic plurals, and that CDD systems who use terms like "parts" or "alters" just want to dehumanize ourselves and others.

Around 2019, a pro-endo started spreading a rumor that MPD was renamed to DID in order to stigmatize plurals which is just so horribly incorrect. Multiple dissociative disorders were renamed at the same time to have the word 'dissociation' in them, and it was done by a team of researchers. The pro-endo used the previous DSM chairman's ableism to spread lies and drag innocent DID systems into discourse.

Like mod Quill said, there's been a ton of misinfo from pro-endos over ToSD (theory of structural dissociation). I've seen people claim that it's completely bunk because one of the researchers who worked on it (there were multiple) lost his medical license for abusing a patient. I've also seen pro-endos try to apply ToSD to endogenic plurality and conclude that ToSD must be bunk because it doesn't fit? It just makes no sense to me because the theory was created to explain trauma-related dissociation caused by disorders like PTSD and DID, etc... It has nothing to do with plurality.

I've also seen tooons of horrible shit from pro-endos AND anti-endos about final fusion and fused alters/systems. I've seen people say it's comparable to grooming or suicide, or that these systems are just secretly "pluralphobic" and trying to become singlets. Honestly, the hatred and misinfo I've seen people say about fused systems is some of the worst.

As for anti-endos, I've seen lots of bad misinfo too... One of the worst things is gatekeeping common CDD things based on trauma type. For example, saying that nonhuman alters are only possible in systems who experienced ritual abuse. Other common CDD things I've seen anti-endos say can only happen due to ritual abuse: gatekeeper alters, subsystems, polyfragmentation, alters with number names or color names, switching due to triggers, alters who feel loyal to their abusers, alters that other alters can front through, certain headspace stuff like checkered floor tiles, having a headspace in general, etc.

I could say more but my reply is already longer than both Dude's and Quill's combined. I'll just leave it off here!

-

Mod Signal: I like this ask a lot lol. It shows genuine curiosity and a desire to improve spaces. Misinfo collects like dirt around syscourse. We all have to sweep regularly to make sure that shit gets thrown out.

On the pro-endo side, the worst I've seen is endo systems attempting to lean into the fantasy model of CDDs to support their own plurality. That model has been debunked for quite a while, and it has hurt so many goddamn people. CDDs are trauma-based, we don't have to reverse scientific progress or fakeclaim some of the first cases of recorded CDDs to support endo systems.

On the anti-endo side, my least favorite bit of misinformation is the idea that the TOSD shows how different people's trauma ranks in the trauma Olympics. The idea that someone with polyfragmented DID must have had things worse than an OSDD 1B system who must have had things worse than someone with BPD, etc. The level of dissociation required for each label in the DSM relies on so many more factors than just "who had it worse". There are biological dispositions to dissociation to take into account, there's the reminder that what's traumatic to a child isn't always considered traumatic to an adult, there's attachment styles to take into play. There is so much more to the science than "I had it worse than you and I have the diagnosis to prove it".
