#What the fuck. The double standard.

People on the Internet that made a characters' skin darker than canon in their fanart is NOT gonna kill u bro

I gave myself a writing challenge and I am fascinated by it

So basically I put the robins in a randomizer to give them a new order/role (because I just...kinda wanted to see what would happen + I like role-reversal AUs) and got results that are giving me a fucking brain blast.

Stephanie, the first sidekick who defines the role

Tim, the sidekick who dies and comes back wrong

Dick, the sidekick who saves Batman from himself

Damian, the sidekick who was never supposed to be a sidekick but would go on to prove everyone wrong

Jason, the youngest sidekick who is still the Kid Wonder

...So this is fucking wild. I've got some ideas and several of these fit perfectly (Dick's role is pretty similar to his one in canon), but some of these are fucking INCREDIBLE to explore (Steph being the first Robin is something I never even considered but tbh I kinda love it).

I probably won't write a fic or anything because tbh I don't like publishing my writing that much, but I might expand this into a full AU and post about it. I might randomize other stuff too (ie, stuff that I cannot change vs stuff that I cannot keep the same) but this fucking rules as a starting point.

As much as I like matpat I am dreading when he plays ruin because this is just going to fuel his 'gregory is evil' stich which I HATE.

Like, maybe stop demonizing this 9 year old. I get it, he has committed many crimes, as he should, and destroyed the glamrocks, but they can be FIXED. THEY ARE ROBOTS. THEY CAN BE PUT TOGETHER AGAIN AND ARE EVEN STILL FUNCTIONAL EVEN AFTER BEING SHATTERED.

You know who can't be fixed if he loses an arm or an eye? GREGORY (because he isn't a robot because FUCK THAT) like???

He is a homeless kid, of course he's going to be a brutal little shit and prioritizes survival against morals, he is on the fucking streets, and the animatronics have been trying to kill him for an entire night, making him run all across the PizzaPlex. You know how fucking big that place is!?

Also, him betraying Cassie makes zero sense for multiple reasons,

1: He went through fucking hell for Freddy and he only knew him for 6 hours, like. He was willing to steal a car and live with him on the road in one ending, tries to save him in the Afton ending, carries his head around, and is shown to cry when he's disassembled, something he is only seen to do in the Bad Ending or when Freddy is ok.

HE LITERALLY COMMITS MANSLAUGHTER IN ONE ENDING FOR HIS ROBOT-DAD FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Even when Freddy is possessed by Peepaw William, instead of trying to dismantle him, he tries to save him instead, when if it was any other animatronic he wouldn't have hesitated to destroy them.

Because of what the cutouts in Roxy Raceway tell us, Gregory and Cassie have a close friendship, him being the only one to show up to her birthday and giving her a napkin to clean up her tears. When you see his missing posters, you can see Cassie is crying, and due to him being homeless, she probably made those posters herself.

(which i am sorely disappointed if no one has made an angsty thing yet c'mon guys)

(I HC them as siblings, but I guess steel wool said fuck you entropy)

So why, if he was willing to do all of that for Freddy, where it was a plot point for all of the endings, would he betray Cassie and try to kill her? It doesn't make sense to me, adding onto my other point:

2: At the end, as everyone predicted, the mimic was pretending to be Gregory this entire time. I don't know why exactly it was luring cassie, probably to kill her or something, but the mimic is a whole other rant because it brings the books explicitly and that means GGY could be canon which. Ugh.

Anyways, it's revealed again to everyone's predictions, that Gregory isn't in the PizzaPlex, which I think is a missed opportunity but that's just me. Cassie escapes the Mimic and 'gregory' says that she awakened it (Afton) and then the elevator falls.

I see people saying that Gregory killed her, but my question is how?

If he isn't anywhere in the PizzaPlex, and can only see the layout, how was he able to cut the elevator wires if not physically present? Did he teleport? Did he magically get into the mainframe and somehow break it down? No.

In conclusion, if there's an installment following this it better not have a villain Gregory or I swear to God steel wool I am able to forgive you for hello neighbor I will NOT forgive you for that

EDIT: just some more things I want to add because MatPat is playing ruin and I am fueled with dread and excitement.

I see people bringing up the books and the whole patient 46 or 42 or 420 or whichever the fuck, which is still do not get, but I don't understand most things in this franchise anyways so.

Even if the mimic and GGY are canon, I still firmly believe that gregory's actions (if he did do them) were manipulated by William/Glitchtrap, with him being mind-controlled like Vanessa. If your going to demonize him for that, then you would have to do the same thing for Vanessa, who has canonically killed enough children to fill out a newspaper as seen in the Bad Ending when it's revealed Gregory is homeless.

(I don't know how or when old willy put his hands on my boy's mind, but It is not because he is a robot because he isn't. the only reason Freddy say's he's broken is because of censorship.

(PS, please stop censoring horror franchises unless it's actually depicts idk SA, talking to you Megan Is Missing. The original line was that gregory cut himself while in the vents. you didn't need to censor that idqbnofq)

Also, for people saying that Gregory is sadistic for destroying and harvesting the animatronics....

I see your point, and I raise that he is a homeless child who probably just got out of mind-control and is now being chased around a massive mall bigger than a 10 Walmart's and Targets put together, trying to escape 3 (4 and 5 if you count sun & moon and a hell of a lot more counting the security bots and damn endos) eight to seven foot hunks of heavy metal and sharp teeth capable of and known for destroying security bots because of Pizza and Jealousy Issues (Roxy and Chica) another that's infamous for destroying fences, his own room and is rumored/thought to have destroyed another robot, and a security guard who, (in yet again deleted voice lines that should have been in the game god damnit steel wool) he saw change into a skipping bunny with a kitchen knife all trying to kill him with only one protector for 6-7 hours straight with barely a moment to breathe.

What do you expect? him to be all "I'm so sorry *cries* let's all be friends!!" NO. in a better world and in a better made game maybe we could have that, but in this world no. Maybe he's a little remorseful, but in the way you kill a bug kind of remorseful.

Also, again, homeless children who probably had to raise themselves aren't going to be the most morally aware children, of course he's going to worry about his and the one person/robot who took care of him in a while above the ones who are attempting to murder him.

[bilboyagathechickenfootedhobbit]

I have to ask, did anyone else hear the “she puts out” comment during the debate? Because both my husband and I did and it made our jaws drop and he legit thought she was going to throw away her closing remarks to nail him on that and now literally ZERO news outlets are discussing it and we both think maybe we imagined it because I’m sorry this should be a MUCH bigger deal.

[gay-otlc]

The urge to ask my friends if I'm really annoying vs the knowledge that asking that question is in itself annoying: who will win

[just-wublrful]

not to be obnoxious on main but classic literature is not global literature. it's western literature at best

[epickiya722]

"She's not really #1 Pro material, she's bloodthirsty, people just voting for her because she's attractive".

YOU BET NOT BE STANNING ANY VILLAIN, OTHER HERO OR WHO THE FUCK EVER BECAUSE ALMOST EVERYONE IN THIS DAMN SERIES IS READY FOR THE SMOKE!!

I'm sorry, but Miruko is one of the few Pro Heroes who remembers that being a Hero is a JOB and not some game for fame and she didn't need character development.

She went from delinquent to someone who took something they loved doing and used it to help people.

Is she a little wild? Yes, but look at the fucking villains?! What? She supposed to take it easy on villains who get more aggressive over time?!

Didn't Katsuki almost die in the beginning of the series because of the Sludge Villain?! A WHOLE CHILD COULD HAVE DIED WHILE THE PRO HEROES WERE STANDING THERE!!

Had Miruko been there, she would have hopped to it and saved his ass!!

THIS WOMAN IS TINY WITH RABBIT EARS AND A TAIL!! SHE ACTUALLY PUTS HER BODY ON THE LINE!! SHE HAS SUFFERED A LOT MORE PHYSICALLY THAN SOME OF THE OTHER PRO HEROES IN THE TOP TEN!!

And it's not like she's always wants to fight anybody or she's going around hitting people for no reason. Calling her "mean" feels like when people call Rock Lock "mean" and it rubs me the wrong way, always.

I'm sorry, but those two seem to be the only heroes most of the time to have sense.

"You're just horny, that's just it".

If you're someone who says this, you better not be simping over any of the male characters because they have a shirtless scene like "Oh, daddy 🥵".

Like anytime someone brings up people being horny for Miruko and hating people on it, it's like "why do you care", just block it out. And she is attractive! Oh, what? What's something about this dark skinned, muscled woman that makes her not attractive, hm?

I don't see anyone having a problem with people being horny over Lady Nagant, so why complain about people being horny over Miruko?

I have seen so much horny Dabi and Hawks art and yet no complaints?

I understand if someone complains about Miruko having too much of a snatched waist, way too big breasts and her skin being as light as paper in fanart. Come on now, she is not built like that and she is darker than me. And I have brown skin!!

But you cannot be the same person who whines about people having their horny Miruko art (when you can block them) and turn around and reblog horny art of other characters.

In my honest opinion, if not her, someone like Ryukyu or Wash deserves the top spots. And Crust deserves a fucking statue or something because that guy DIED saving Aizawa and went out with a smile. That is a guy that you can rely on!

Like if in canon someone like Endeavor can be #1 (mind you, the PUBLIC has influence on this, too, not just the fucking commission) and Hawks who has fucking fans horny for him in canon, then why the fuck can't Miruko?

Why can't someone like her be #1?

"She's aggressive."

ENDEAVOR IS IN THE TOP SPOT BECAUSE? HE WAS #2 WHY?! WHEN THE PUBLIC IS WELL AWARE OF HIS ATTITUDE?!

SOME OF Y'ALL WHO BE COMPLAINING ABOUT MIRUKO WAS GETTING WET WHEN DABI WAS STEPPING ON HAWKS' FACE!

SO HER BEING "AggRessIVE" IS AN ISSUE BUT NOT WHEN SOMEONE ELSE DOES IT?!

THE DOUBLE STANDARDS IS REEEEEAL!!

[queeraliensposts]

I can't believe I live in a reality where a white woman who was falsely accused of rape can sell BLM merch, keep the money, and be praised by tik tok, but a queer musician that everyone thinks is "cringe" gets canceled and accused "profiting from a child's death" by talking about Nex Benedict in a tik tok he earned $0 from, where all he said was "this is why I make the music that I do".

[willowchild]

Absolutely hysterical how people are hating on kaarija for that video with eden. For simply associating with her. I wish this was the kind of thing that ruined my day and made me mad lmfao. Unfortunately some of us live offline and even right here in Israel! Normal people don't cancel someone because he didn't align perfectly with their fandom view of a devastating and complex conflict and war (which they learnt about via quds, Al Jazeera and Instagram infographics)

[songtwo]

also it’s crazy that sabrina has received all this backlash when men are always taking off their shirts performing half naked and mimicking sex w their guitars or whatever and the only thing u see is men and women and the tabloids thirsting over it

[lanayrutower]

ALSO does no one find it even a little weird how the old Zelda games firmly state that it's Hylia who built/was the first ruler of Hyrule (the king is just. sort of there), and then totk comes in and is like ahaaa no it's actually rauru who's so special and godlike actually. yeah, his wife was actually his priestess who once served him and then died stupidly because she wasn't paying attention. mmhm, she was also the reason ganon was able to take over hyrule and be super duper evil btw. uwu.

[sneakyboymerlin]

Sorry but if you write a magic reveal fic and

Arthur accepts Merlin’s magic with no fuss

Gwaine accepts Merlin’s magic with no fuss

Percival accepts Merlin’s magic with no fuss

Elyan is vilified because he hates magic so much and he’s just not good enough to overlook his bias, unlike Arthur and the other knights (most of whom explicitly hate magic)

Leon accepts Merlin’s magic with no fuss

Then you probably have a racism problem.

[monachopism]

being jewish with zero affiliation to israel and rather a generational line of activists for palestine is a hard line to walk and sometimes i wish i could just fall off

[reel-fear]

Just a little follow up on that last post but just in general I think one of the reasons I've really stopped caring for railing on the Playtime devs... Is just because it feels like so much of it is just speculative nonsense trying to make every single thing they do secretly evil or lazy or bad. Why isn't it enough to discuss the Actual bad things they did [the fact they used to run a shady content farm before doing game work, the fact they tried to sell lore to their fans via NFTs, etc] it's hard for me to engage with content that rightfully critiques that bc oftentimes they then spiral into speculative 'so now we have to tell you why this moment where an employee blinks in the game is code for the devs secretly stole all their code from Bendy and kill babies as a hobby'.

Which makes me turn off my brain and not want to take any other points they make seriously, bc like I said if you lie to me to try and convince me of your point, I'm not gonna take anything else you say seriously bc I won't know if it's true or just something you made up anymore.

It honestly feels like everyone just keeps making shit up bc Poppy Playtime used to be the internet punching bag but now that the NFTs thing isn't the hottest topic to discuss about it anymore we all just need a reason to make fun of it and the people who like it. Which just kinda feels like unfair cringe culture, because if our real problem is the devs being greedy and shady why isn't the same effort put into roasting similar devs like the Bendy team? We can't suddenly say 'well actually being a bit greedy isn't That bad' when it's a team we like instead of one we all decided is 'cringe n bad'.

[hiemaldesirae]

ur so real for rbing that intracommunity issues post re: the shit radiostatic shippers get when it's two sided and not the overused "Vox lasts after Alastor because God forbid the ace spectrum isn't black and white... what's demisexual/demiromantic again?" Or some annoying 'and this was written by Vox' joke or smth. I swear it's like... we aren't acting like it's gonna be a thing in the show it's just fun to have our own fanon :/ this happens with other Alastor ships too but I see this so much in the radiostatic tag I have to mute one way broadcast nowadays jdjfjfjf

oh my god yeah this is so fucking true 😭😭😭 i got a rb that was like "did vox write this" on one of my posts and i had to take a 20minute walk outside to calm myself down . i dont understand what they think theyre doing policing others enjoyment of the fandom. like if people were mistagging in radiosilence tag then sure, by all means get pissed by that . but right now whats happening is mistagging and passive aggressiveness directed towards any and all alastor ships if not their tendency to make vox out to be the butt of the joke and its just so frustrating to see
