finally got around to doing something related to my Five Floors At Regretevator au. anyways heres a dump of stuff related to it

Floors:

Bernette's Bizzare Circus:

a giant red and purple circus tent with various stages and stuff in it. despite being called a circus, it's more of a freakshow. home of Bernette, Fouwler, Herley, Terris and Magpie. basically the equivalent of the FNAF 2/FNAF 1 locations.

[Unnamed, SL]:

Very directly based off of Sister Location, both in terms of the floor and the characters. only has one main stage, the member on the stage depends on what time it is. home of Betty, Hugo Bonbon & Taffy, Terrence and funtime foxy who i still havent named.

Mirror maze:

a maze of mirrors, like you would find at a carnival. if you enter with someone else, you will inevitably end up seperated, and only then will you see it. the mirrors will reflect, showing different versions of you. you from the past, you if things turned out differently, you in the future and the likes. then, in one of the mirrors, he appears. a ghostly apparition standing behind you in the reflection, staring at you via the mirrors. then it begins to crack, all of the shards of glass falling to the floor as all but one of the reflections fade, and it confronts you, forcing you to face that youve changed, or that things couldve gone so much better. then you wake up, back in the elevator. the doors are closing, and its like none of that ever even happened. but now, he's in there too. yeah this floor basically just exists for angst lol also its where Seer comes from

Dark Alley:

a dark alley on a stormy night, various posters adorning the brick walls. a variety of things can happen on this floor.

Characters(organized by floor):

Bernette:

He/Him; Freddy Fazbear

Ringmaster of Bernette's Bizzare Circus, abusive and neglectful towards the cast, much to the dismay of his higher ups.

The Ferocious Fouwler:

He/Him; Foxy

Magician, fire breather and sword swallower at BBC, very expressive and overconfident. born without his right eye

The Humble Herley:

She/Her; Chica/Toy Chica

Acrobat, trapeze artist, tightrope walker and magician's assistant at BBC, self-centered and obsessed with her looks. has polymelia so she has four legs instead of two legs and two wings

The Terrific Terris:

He/It/They; Bonnie/Toy Bonnie

Mime at BBC, really really dumb. completely missing his face. it can talk perfectly fine but just really prefers miming things instead.

The Miraculous Magpie:

She/It/He; The Mangle

Acrobat, trapeze artist, tightrope walker and magician's assistans at BBC, extremely mentally unstable from her mistreatment at the circus and has both CPTSD and anxiety. killed everyone(-Terris) at BBC and fled to the elevator. has polymelia so it has four arms and four legs, he was known as the 'Spiderlike Kitsune'.

Betty:

She/They; Circus Baby/Elizabeth Afton

William(still havent changed his name)'s assistant and performer on her floor, was controlled and manipulated by William to where they don't remember being anything other than 'Betty'. her name was Violetta btw

Hugo Bonbon and Taffy:

He/Him(Hugo), She/He(BonBon), She/Her(Taffy); Funtime Freddy/Bonbon/Bonnette

a puppeteer and ventriloquist who is delusional and believes that he's actually his puppets,going as far as to gouge out his own eyes to put them in the puppets. Bonbon is cheery and giddy while Taffy is more snarky and rude.

Terrence:

He/Him; Michael Afton/Henry Emily

One of Williams two children, he was also manipulated by him but rather than being made to forget who he is, he was made to be eternally oblivious to the atrocities being commited around him, not even recognizing when his own son died.

[Unnamed, please give me suggestions for the name]:

He/Him; Funtime Foxy

an actor and lover of the arts who happens to also have a morbid love for murder, considering it to be an art form. he has a badass sickle he uses to kill people and has a pink skirt.

Seer:

He/It; Shadow Freddy/Golden Freddy/The Crying Child/Charlotte

The spirit of Terrence's dead son, now damned to haunt the mirror maze until he is avenged while also unable to get revenge himself as his spirit is disconnected from his body, which is rotting in a sealed-off room right behind Terrence's back.

basic plot:

William has two kids, Terrence and Violetta. william employs Bernette to start a circus/freakshow and leaves it up to Bernette to hire people for it, so Bernette does, hiring Fouwler, Herley, Terris and Magpie. after a while Magpie snaps, killing (mostly) everyone there and fleeing, leading william to try and make a better location that BBC on his own because of Bernette's incompetence. needing a cast for the location, he locks Violetta in the basement and manipulates her into thinking she's Betty, the mascot of the location. Terrence, who had just had a child, accidentaly stumbles upon the basement, leading william to manipulate him as well, making him completely unaware of anything horrible william did or was responsible for. william uses Betty to hire Hugo, F.Foxy and probably some other characters i havent added yet . after a while Hugo starts to go mad(F.Foxy was already mad) and stuff and at some point william kills Terrence's kid for whatever reason, hiding his corpse in a sealed-off room in the mirror mazr where Terrence wont just stumble across him. Terrence's kid, now going under the alias of Seer, begins to haunt the mirror maze, the attraction getting closed down, leaving the elevator as the only way to get in it. eventually, Magpie stumbles upon the mirror maze, finding Seer and giving him a way to access Terrence, leading Terrence to get led to the sealed-off room and discover his sons corpse, causing him to snap out of his trance and realize the atrocities going on around him. Betty, who was spying on them to tell william, realizes she's been manipulated too and, in a fit of rage, murders william, finally putting an end to this all but not really because Hugo and Magpie both need a fuckload of therapy. not F.Foxy though, hes just like that.

Okay so this is a big deal

To me, and to a significant subset of Sir Terry's fans (including most of you who've found this by the tags), his writing is serious commentary on the human condition - politics, prejudice, self-control, revenge vs. justice, religion, idealism, faith in people vs. cynicism, and more - dressed up with fantasy settings and a hefty leavening of humor to make it fun to read. And it is WILDLY fun to read, actual laugh-out-loud or at least a snicker averaging about every page.

But there's this common idea among the "important literature" people that fun and funny books are not also worthwhile or important in the same way.

This is a Discworld book being released WITH ACADEMIC COMMENTARY and AS A PENGUIN CLASSIC. That's a HUGE amount of recognition.

The Paris Olympics insisting that athletes compete in the Seine is so absurd it feels like something Terry Pratchett would want to make fun of. Like can you imagine him writing a Discworld story about a mad Ankh-Moorpark city official deciding to put on some ancient extravagant game, creating havoc in the city by bringing in all these foreigners to compete, and insisting the Ankh river, which is so filthy it's basically solid, is perfectly fine to swim in, because that's what they did in ancient times so that's how they're going to do it now. I feel like it would be a Night's Watch story about the people hired to clean the river and all the friends and horrors they discover along the way.

Good luck to all the athletes swimming in the poop water.

This is the highest compliment I can bestow, but Dungeon Meshi reads like it was written for, if not by, Terry Pratchett.

Oh, you have a dungeon with monsters and adventurers? How does it work? Who pays? How do you get enough supplies? People will eat anything when hungry; do they eat the monsters? People will cook feasts from rotten meat and weeds; what feasts can you make with monsters?

By the way, here is a terrible pun about soup.

You want heroes to have peril, but also to live? Easy! Just have a ressurection spell. Well how does it work? What's the point? What would people give to live forever? What would people give to die?

Here's a dwarf whose magical shield is a wok.

And if they come back, it still hurts right? Do people remember? What happens if they forget that, outside of the dungeon, they can't come back? What if the thing that brings them back also ties them to the dungeon more and more, changes them, makes them different without knowing why.

Whilst you were thinking about that, the halfling founded an adventurers guild. It's an actual union with dues etc. btw he's a deadbeat dad apart from this.

The dwarf from earlier carries familial trauma that will haunt you for the next decade. The protagonist holds his sister's skull as the first proof that there is anything left of her. The two female leads share a love so deep that giving it a name would pollute it. The protagonist's sword is a mollusc.
