#Submechanophobia

Can’t stop thinking about how someone finally snuck into the Excalibur casino in vegas and copped pictures of the dragon animatronic that’s been left to rot in his lair for almost two decades now.

Since we've gotten requests for scary animatronics and submechanophobia content, here's someone just in time for Halloween that will hopefully satiate both of those needs: It's the Watermouth Castle troll! Lesser known than his crocodile counterpart, the troll is (in my opinion) far more distressing. He's a very simple animatronic; just a head on a rising lever with a water pump, but I'd say he still counts. It seems like he hasn't risen up in a long time, though, and only occasionally spits water.

I'm convinced that Finely from Indigo Park is at least in part inspired by the sea serpents from the Disney rides 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Submarine Voyage. I also hope this means Finely's area will have a bit of that submechanophobia/decayed underwater attraction type of vibe that I love so much

Like look at them, do you see what I'm seeing? Because this was my first thought when I saw Finley's design

Also, both of the rides the real-life sea serpents belonged to are now defunct adding further connections to Indigo Park, which is in disrepair and seems to have been for a while now. There also the fact that the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride was left to rot and decay for a while once the ride closed up, which again, I think is also the case with Finley's ride area, and Indigo Park as a whole.

i tried to recreate something i saw in a dream a couple years ago where i fell into the mouth of a partially submerged [non-sentient] sea monster animatronic.

Happy Birthday to FNAF, the series that started it all and arguably changed my life 💗. I figured today would be an appropriate day to share a new fnaf OC! Meet Sylvester the Safety Seal 🦭, a mascot from the Tales from the Pizzaplex story: Submechanophobia…

Alternate colors + concept art below the cut

More on Sylvester’s wearer later…

fuuuuck yes fantastic news irt pleasure islands infamously horrific moby dick animatronic (peep below)

for the longest time, people passed around rumors that he’d long since been demolished, sitting at the bottom of his lake as nothing more than a metal skeleton attached to a set of tracks

but this dude bought a 1.5k underwater drone, prodded around for a while, and actually FOUND Moby. mostly intact!! i just wish we could see him in his full glory. one can only hope this’ll encourage some animatronic conservationists to make their way over to Massachusetts for an eventual retrieval (if not, broader photographs)
