The Little Things
Josh Futturman x GN!Reader
Summary: Upset that Josh has been overly stressed and traumatized recently, you decide to surprise him with a short getaway, a temporary escape—you were going to take him to see a dinosaur.
WC: 1.8k
Content: fluff, mentions of death, gender neutral reader, short but sweet, kissing, listening to music, quiet yet comfortable company, few curse words
(A/n: this oneshot is heavily inspired by the movie Palm Springs which was brought to my attention from something @rynsfandomsfun reblogged—it was a sweet movie. Also, don’t play the preview of the song attached, but listen from the beginning when it plays in the fic :) )
-
“Hey. Wake up…”
Your gentle voice and light shaking seemed to do the trick as you sat patiently on the edge of his bed. “Y/n?” Josh grumbles drowsily, gradually waking up as he rubs his eyes with his fingers. “Shit… what time is it…?”
You chuckle amusedly at his demeanor. “Approximately two a.m. But that’s not so important,” you answer, watching him use his arms to lift himself up against his bed frame, now in a sitting position.
He faced you with groggy bewilderment until his eyes suddenly widened once they inevitably trailed over to your lap. “Shit—Y/n, is that the TTD?” Josh gasped. The revelation seemed to have woken him up completely, his shock clashing with your nonchalant smirk. “But that would mean—”
“Yes, I stole it from Tiger and Wolf while they were sleeping. And yeah, I’m aware they’d kill me if they ever found out, but they’ll never know we even left, ’cause lucky for us, now we have a damn time machine,” you grin softly.
“‘Left’? Wait, what—what are we doing?”
You chuckle, admiring the adorably confounded look on his face. You were so thrilled to break the news to him, anticipating his reaction. “I’m gonna take you to see a dinosaur.”
You didn’t mean to get tied into all of this. Well, technically, none of you were meant to. However, Josh was your best friend, and one day, you two hung out in his room as you watched him play and attempt to beat his favorite game Biotic Wars. And you never would’ve guessed the shit you both would go through after that.
As his best friend, you knew him very well and were able to read him even if he was across the room from you. Therefore, you could always sense when he was upset and miserably exhausted. So when those two airheaded dipshits from the future constantly mistreated and belittled him, you couldn’t help but feel resentment towards them and pity towards your best friend. And the moment you saw him covered in his co-workers’ blood after him witnessing his colleagues brutally chop them up to shove inside a possum incinerator, you were just about done with all of this bullshit.
So when the day became night, you snuck into Tiger and Wolf’s weird sewer hideout, stealing their TTD. And then you snuck into Josh’s house, planning to steal him too.
Josh’s face beams as he heard your proposal, and it was probably the first time you’ve seen him genuinely smile ever since he got involved in that savior crap.
“I’m gonna see a dinosaur?” You answered him with a smug nod. “You’re not fucking with me? I’m gonna see a dinosaur? H-holy—holy shit!”
You knew he wanted this before, hell, you were right there when he begged Tiger and Wolf for it back in 1969. And so, because of all the bullshit he undeservingly had to deal with, you wanted to give him a break or reward. You just wanted to see your friend happy again, like how he was before this entire mess.
In life, you had to enjoy the little things—which says a lot about your lives right now, considering that traveling back in time to see a dinosaur could be considered as such. The two of you needed a break, even just for less than a day where you didn’t have to worry about saving the world or killing people.
You take out an index card and found a pen on his desk. “What time is it?” You ask him, taking the cap off of the pen with your teeth.
“Uh, two—uh, two thirty-four,” he answered after glancing at the clock. “Am I—Am I seriously going to see a dinosaur? Are—are we actually going to the jurassic period?”
You scribbled down the time so you’d know when exactly you should get back, just to avoid any complications. “Yes,” your answer was muffled as you laugh softly, taking the cap out of your mouth to place it back over the pen. You shoved the note in your pocket then took Josh’s hand, helping him get up from his bed to stand up in his room. You open the TTD and began to play around with the controls.
“Do you even know how to use that thing?” He asked, looking over all the cryptic symbols and confusing interface, then back at you.
“Uhh, general idea,” you reply, clicking around the device some more until you finally placed your arm around his shoulder. “You ready, Josh?”
He blinked, then nodded eagerly. “Are you serious? Hell, yeah! Holy shit! No way! I’m gonna see an actual, fucking dinosaur!”
You weren’t quite used to the feeling of traveling through time, but at least it got easier every time you did. Bright blue lights and volts surrounded the two of you, feeling a gust of wind blow into your face and whole being, and even heat from the electrical currents. And then, in less than five seconds, you two appeared in a jungle, late at night, in the late jurassic period.
***
You two sat down on a thick branch of a tallish tree, the soft light of the moon kissing your faces. It was dangerous to be in such a wild and unpredictable time, surrounded by deadly, barbaric creatures, so the tree would be a pretty safe place to watch the dinosaurs from. Except the surrounding area was practically empty, so you just waited for them to emerge.
Your shoulders brushed as you enjoyed the silence between the two of you—which was actually ceased fairly quickly once Josh communicated a thought that had practically gnawed at him for days.
“Hey, I just wanna say I’m, uh… I’m sorry that I dragged you into this, Y/n,” he finally says, looking at you pitifully. He looked really nice in the moonlight, you thought. “Wolf and Tiger, they’re insane, and I—shit, if I never invited you over then none of this would fucking—”
“Hey, hey, shut up, will you?” You snickered, offering a forgiving grin. “You didn’t drag me into this. The both of us never would’ve expected any of this bullshit, okay? Like, genuinely.” Josh nodded, but you still sensed some remaining guilt in him. “Hey. If I was gonna be wrapped into this crazy fucking mess with somebody, I’m glad it was with you. You’re my best friend. My ride or die.”
The corner of his lips curled into a sweet, appreciative smile. “Thanks,” he replied coyly. “And, uh, thanks for this. I know there’s no dinosaurs right now, but… I really appreciate the gesture. Like, Tiger and Wolf, they would’ve—”
“They definitely would’ve killed me, yes,” you laughed softly. “But… you’re worth all the crazy fucking discipline.”
With this lighting, you could never see how his cheeks flushed pink. But you knew he was blushing, from how the corner of his eyes crease and the way his wide smile accentuated his cheeks, revealing his pearly white, perfect teeth. He lets out a quiet giggle, and the two of you continued to watch the horizon of the dark, yet mesmerizing prehistoric view.
You two held each other’s hands, interlocking one another’s fingers warmly, placing the clasped fists between each other. There was some kind of unspoken thing between you two that you never had time to figure out, mainly because of the recent things you’ve been dealing with. But it was still there, that strange, lingering feeling.
And then…
“Holy shit!” Josh gasped abruptly, sitting up, patting onto your shoulder repeatedly, then pointing his finger far out into the distance. “Y/n, look, shit, Y/n, Y/n, Y/n—”
“Wh—” Your breath hitched as you saw it in front of you. “Shit…”
The several long necks and small heads of brontosauruses were in the distance, peeking out of the whole jungle and its trees, walking slowly towards the left in front of the iridescent moon.
It was beautiful. You never expected it to be. Actually, you really didn’t expect anything, you thought it’d be too surreal to even process. But they were exactly like the history books. They were like the CGI graphics in film and games, the images displayed near their exhibits at museums, the small long, plastic figures that come in clear tubes, and hell, a scene from Spielberg’s Jurassic fucking Park.
“They’re beautiful…” Josh sighs in complete awe.
“They really are…” you mutter, still fascinated by it all, watching the family of dinosaurs walk slowly together, letting out low moans and stomps with each heavy step.
Abruptly, you take out your phone from your pocket, as well as some earbuds. You plug it in, help Josh with the left earpiece and put the right one in yours. And then, you clicked onto a song that you had downloaded prior.
The gentle song began to play softly in your ears. The two of you were mesmerized by the beauty and magnificence of these creatures that you never thought you’d ever see. Your head moves down to rest on Josh’s shoulder as you two admired the dinosaurs from afar. The light pressure of you against his shoulder tickled him slightly, which he gulped at, heat rising to his cheeks. Your contact against him felt warm and you felt safe. Even though this was a place where you would most likely get mauled brutally by ‘clever girl’s, you felt nearly invincible with your best friend by your side.
“This is amazing…” he whispered, astonished.
“Yeah,” you sigh, mocking his quiet speech.
A pause.
“You’re amazing…”
You slowly pull away from his shoulder curiously, your eyes leaving the direction of the large, majestic animals. Your eyes look deeply into his, again, the moonlight shining exquisitely on the side of his face, bright enough to reveal some of the hazel tint in his irises. You felt your eyelashes flutter each time you looked from his eyes to his lips. He, too, looked at you intimately and fondly. And then your eyes closed gently once you feel his lips press against yours, hearing the song continue in your ears. The entire moment felt so magical, that you weren’t sure if it was because of the fact that you were in a place where dinosaurs existed or that you were kissing the person you’ve always admired.
You pull away slowly, a silent exchange of eye contact, before kissing him again, with more passion and less hesitance, letting your hands rest behind his neck.
There were no more words between the two of you after. In a good, serene way. Parting from his lips, you rested your head back onto his shoulder, feeling his arm around you from the back and his hand holding your waist. And you two continued to watch the dinosaurs under the stars, holding each other’s hands once more. Enjoying the little things, for now.
You could let this moment go on forever. After all, with the TTD, you had all the time in the world.

25 asks! :00 Thank you! :}} 💖
I would like to yeah :0 for now I'm just kind'a goofin around and drawing whatever. Also thank you!! :DD I'm glad you like it! :}}}
I don't think kid Gregory and Vanessa would realize that the other is a younger version of the guard that's pursuing them.. They would just think they have the same name.
What would be confusing though is who went into who's world. If Little Vanessa went to little Gregory's world, she would be so confused. "Where's Bonnie and Foxy? Why do Roxy and Monty look so different..? Why does the entire BUILDING look different..??"
For adult Gregory going into the kid Gregory's world.. it'd be the same thing. "Why is the building so different and where is Bonnie and Foxy?... Also why is there this random gal that has on a security uniform and why is she in my office-"
Thank you! Happy new year to you as well!! 🎉🥳🎊
YOOOO THAT'D BE SICK!! :DDD Also I love all the puns XDD
Yeah, that post is outdated and should not be followed. My pinned post has all the up to date information. 👍
(Also thank you! :D)
That's a thing?? Man. I'm not sure what to think. I was never super into Bendy.. I guess I just hope that the fans get what they're hoping for? <:D
Or at the very least I hope that the people who made Bendy have the freedom to put what ever they want into the movie. :}
Thank you so much! :DD As for my favorite character from my AU specifically? I'd say its a tough pick between Freddy and Foxy.. I thiiiiink I'll pick Freddy XD I just love him man 🥺
@skeletormasterofevil
N-No.. she was so young...💔
@underfalls-36
XDDD That's hilarious, also thANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDD
Calico Jack? I don't think so.. scurvy is caused by a severe vitamin-C deficiency. And sailors usually got it becuase they didn't have fruits and vegetables on the ship.. But it looks like Calico Jack has gotten shipwrecked quite a few times in his life. I imagine he's been stranded on islands for a few weeks at a time where he ate nothing but fruits, Veggies and fish. Not to mention his time in the Amazon where he likely had access to all kinds of fruits.
Natquik though? Its possible.. out in the Antarctic his diet was probably mostly fish.. although it seems that real arctic fox diets don't really demand many fruits and veggies.. Still, Natquik seems more likely to have contracted scurvy at one point then Calico Jack :(
:DDD THANK YOU! And boy do I have a lot of that XD
I do have many theories/headcannons yes!.. Although I think I'll keep those tucked away in my brain for now- :x
@citrusfruitman
(Post in question)
XDD I sat on the first ask for a while because I was intending to draw something for it. But I'm realizing now that I might not ever draw it so--
What was going on in that drawing is an evil Undyne threw a spear at the group while they were passing by. Seam was struck in the head by it and was killed.. hence the blood splatter on her face. (My darkeners bleed)
BUT ITS OKAY! Through some uh... very dark methods- Frisk was able to reset to a few moments before and pull Seam out of the way. Then she got into a brawl with the evil Undyne no doubt <XD
I have, and uh, I'm not so sure about the whole "in character" thing.. or at least its not the character I imagined Fazbear Entertainment would be- <XD
It just means they're both rough and tough and their hands get beat up a lot. Kwazii gets them beat from scraping them on stuff and dealing with dangerous creatures while on missions. And Calico Jack gets them from scraping them on stuff and.. dealing with dangerous creatures while on adventures XDD
@spinelfan11
XDD I have now! What an odd specimen..
(Also thank you! :DDD)
@milk-powrit
Its hard to explain exactly why I don't like them.. But I don't like them-
I guess it feels kind'a.. mary sue-ish..? If that makes sense? Or at least having all these sans' that act nothing like the original sans is kind'a off putting? I guess? Not to mention loads of them are shipped together- uhg idk- Its hard to explain but I don't vibe with them personally. So I didn't add them to my au :/
@abaroo
OOOO THAT'S A GOOD IDEA!! :000 I like how it creates a spin on Grillby and River. While Jevil intentionally grabbed Grillby's hand and saved him, and River was dragged along by mistake.. Frisk CHOSE to follow Jevil, it wasn't his doing at all this time. That's a really cool thing to experiment with!
I'll have to look into this idea, thank you for sharing! And thank you for the complements! AND happy new year to you too! XDD
@the-great-bonkings
XDD For receiving hugs? I'd say he's about a 11/10 sometimes, maybe a 6/10 other times. Its harder to hug him comfortably if you're significantly shorter/smaller than he is. But if ur the right size his hugs will just fix all your problems 🥺
As for giving hugs? It might be about the same. But I can see him giving them out only to people he's really close to. Otherwise a tender yet professional hand on the shoulder seems more his style.
XD And I see the prompt there, perhaps I'll have to draw that sometime!
@tanileaf
YOU LIKE? :DDD THANK YOU! I'M SO GLAD!
Aww shucks 😊 Thank you!
@khoiazo
Whaaaat?? Nooo Its not traumaaa,,🥺 its character development!😇
TRUEEEEE
I do! I'll have to post more about them sometime-- 👀👀
@cudlycorncornsworthcoberson
WAAAA THANK YIOU SO MUCH!!! IM SO GLAD YOUY LIKE MY OCTONAUTS SILLIES 💖💖😭💖

Ayesha Liveblogs Bridgerton S3
"I must say, all those piano lessons in Bath have reaped their reward." Is this their subtle explanation for where This Francesca has been the past two seasons?
"You do realize what tune she was playing right now, don't you? Mozart's Funeral March." "Oh god." Benedict said: I am both a scholar of art AND a smart aleck, Mum
Say what you will, Bridgerton knows the power of a good haircut
LMAO did they have Colin get his tiddies out in the carriage just to show off how hot he is since it'll take a while for him to get naked with someone else?
"It would be pleasant to have my own house." LMAO Francesca, extremely real reason to get married
I like the Featheringtons' husbands, they're just here to vibe
Speaking of marrying into money, Kate is truly the most gorgeous person alive. Bridgerton said: Do you want to watch beautiful people in fancy outfits struggling to socialize? And I said: Yes!
The way that despite their troubles, Eloise STILL protects Penelope's identity and keeps Cressida from sniping at her. The love story of MY season
"My stories from abroad are not suitable for such tender young ladies." With all due respect to Colin: Brother eugh, what's that?
"I take comfort in knowing that you will always be here to take care of me." What's the 1810s equivalent of putting your parents in a home? A convent? Lady Featherington inches closer with her every word to Penelope
"Perhaps something like what they are wearing in Paris?" [...] "I love it brother. Where is it from?" "A trader in Marseille." "My perfume is from Paris?" Bridgerton said: SUBTLETY WHO, COLIN X PENELOPE 4EVER
The sneaky looks on Anthony and Benedict's faces as they help Gregory run away with his bow and arrow KILL me
"I lost the battle, and I've no appetite for the war, so I've joined the winning side. Not unlike you, I take it? Or is this truly the new you?" Eloise said: People in superficial society houses shouldn't throw stones, Colin
(Also. I am in love with Eloise, she charms me more every season. Though wild that they're dissing Emma, Austen has women with SO much agency and Emma specifically is the lady of her house, someone throughout the novel learns that she DOESN'T know everything, and who vows herself not to marry until she changes her mind and falls in love with a friend)
[Voice breaking] "Now you have your life, and I have mine." ELOISE WAHHHHHH. I think she is totally justified, but god, friendship breakups are SOOO brutal
"In truth, I enjoyed having a purpose. Whereas now that you're back, I'm not certain what I'm supposed to do exactly." Explore bisexuality, Benedict <3
YEAHHHHHH Mondrichs!!! I hope society is kind to them
HAHAHAHAHAH I love Kanthony
Kate: You do know that what we are doing is not how one makes an heir?
Anthony, head still between his wife's legs: We have to start somewhere.
If they don't want me to want Penelope and Eloise to be in love, they HAVE to stop making her look at Penelope like that
HAHAHAHHA I love that Penelope, while getting attention from her nice hair and dress, is still extremely awkward when being talked to by a man. It is endearing
After the Queen Charlotte spin-off, I have a new appreciation for Lady Danbury and the Queen's friendship. Agatha knows how to get Charlotte going, 'bestie Lady Whistledown will get more recognition than you if you do not tell everyone who the hottest young debutante is'
Wondering if Kate's gown style is meant to invoke salwar kameez?
I hope Francesca and Penelope become closer!! Two gals who would rather die than talk to any man in this room:
"Why do I have the feeling that you in turn, know how to make one wither, if you so choose?" I do like Lord Debling so far, even if he looks MUCH older than Pen LOL
Every time they have a one-on-one interaction between a man and woman I'm like, why does it only sometimes matter if they're chaperoned LOL? Inconsistent
"You miss me, but you'd never court me. Is that correct?" GET HIM PEN
Not a season goes by that the Featheringtons are not in some kind of financial trouble. They're like the Coopers from The O.C.
"You disapprove? I thought we did not like Penelope." "What you did was cruel and unnecessary." I like both halves of this interaction, that Cressida is saying 'we' as in wanting to be on the same side as Eloise, and that Eloise is calling Cressida out for how awful she's been treating Penelope
I like that Cressida is both acknowledging that she's been unkind but also giving mind to the fact the women of the ton have been raised to be in competition with each other
God I love Kate and Anthony this season, sappy and sex-addled but also Kate making sure to think of Violet's needs and how difficult it would be to suddenly no longer be viscountess
While I do love the idea of charm lessons, and I cannot help but notice MOST of what Colin likes about Penelope are about him, "I know that you will lift my spirits, and make me see the world in ways I could not have imagined." "[You] have always truly made me feel appreciated.") Don't love that
"I will never forgive her," said Colin, about the woman he just called his very good friend and would later go on to marry
Surely the Mondrichs can decide how things are done in their own house, I highly doubt Violet and her husband or Kate and Anthony do separate bedrooms
HAHAHAH I wonder how many episodes Eloise will have fancy hand muffs to hide Claudia Jessie's broken arm
I guess I was wrong about Colin not getting naked, he's just frequenting brothels I suppose?
"Pen, living for the estimation of others is a trap." Spoken like a man who can inherit property and fortune through means other than marriage
I was thinking Francesca and Eloise were on similar plights, but it seems more that Francesca's beef is with any sort of attention than with being married
Hee hee, I love Hyacinth beating her older brothers at cards
"Somehow my character gets lost between my heart and my mouth." I feel that, Penelope! I have no idea what I'm saying half the time
"Your eyes are a most remarkable shade of blue, and yet they shine even brighter when you are kind." If I were Colin, this would immediately do me in, a compliment that specific is really something
This journal thing is symptomatic of Penelope's lack of respect for anyone's privacy, even if it is good she understands what Colin was doing in Paris
"I do not wish for her to be friendless, and you are perhaps all she has now." Eloise is SO understanding given what Penelope has said about her AND Colin
"I think of Prudence as a bonbon. Delicate, and oh so agreeable." "Mr. Dankworth, you are so... pretty." I love Mr. Dankworth. Pretty, loves his wife, gives great compliments, what more can I ask for?
Bold of Eloise to tell Cressida about Colin helping Penelope, she knows that Cressida has been purposely cruel to Pen before
"I think we have found your talent. You are a most entertaining speaker." YEAHHHHH Eloise, getting along with the girls with her gift for gab
"How are we expected to understand all these society rules when even someone born into this world cannot grasp them?" [Benedict makes a face but then smiles at being insulted] As I have been from his very first moment on screen, I'm in love with Benedict:
"We kiss, and then he makes an odd sound, and then goes to change his breeches." "His breeches remain on?" HAHAHAHAH every season there's a problem with no one offering the ladies any formal sex education
"I cannot think of anything [to gossip about] at the moment." GOOD FOR CRESSIDA
"I do not much care for idle gossip," said Penelope, like she wasn't the Queen of Capitalizing on Idle Gossip
I am SHOCKED that they have a character in a wheelchair on this show, and even more shocked there wasn't immediately some comment drawn to it, but glad! It may be a weird show when it comes to race, but at least it's not weird when it comes to ability?
The way the Colin Has Been Helping Penelope reveal was SO dramatic I thought it might actually be a dream sequence
"We can do whatever we want now. We are a married noble couple." That's what I'm talking about, Will
Penelope said: "Be a homie and kiss me," and Colin said: "I do not have the strength to deny that kind of request!"
This second kiss HAS to be a dream sequence, there's no way they'd jump into this without any preamble
Oh it was COLIN'S dream sequence, love that for him!!!!
Fhfkhfkjhf Colin: I did NOT have a wet dream, in case anyone wanted to know!
"[Hyacinth] waits for the maids to throw out last week's copy of Whistledown because she knows she is not allowed to read it." HAHA this is such a big brother thing for Benedict to say
"It was quite harsh what she wrote about you. Unnecessarily so, I think." Eloise said, be nicer to yourself, bestie
Colin does not know how to act around Penelope, this is the first time I've been endeared by him all season
"If I secure a proposal, it will be because of you." You know what that is, Penelope? Foreshadowing!
[Disdainfully] "Apparently he only eats vegetables." They disapprove of vegetarianism in Georgian England. Also. What a thing to say in front of two South Asian women, when India has the HIGHEST proportion of vegetarians in the world, and also has many historical and ongoing ties between vegetarianism and spirituality kjghgkjhg
Is the open mocking of other people supposed to be why we as the audience should be okay with Penelope exploiting other people's drama for profit? Cause I still don't appreciate 1810s Gossip Girl
God, Mrs. Mondrich is SO gorgeous. Peak beautiful people in fancy outfits
"I find your frankness immensely refreshing." I like Lord Debling more with every scene
"Do you feel some attachment to him?" Colin said: Penelope do you still like me check yes or no
Penelope just going "Yeah, me too," to all of Cressida's specific commentary about Lord Debling's interests is difficult to watch
Colin stopping the balloon is the first moment I have personally been attracted to him (ever, I think). I think the more casual outfit does do him some favours. This is his Anthony in the Lake moment
Weel weel weel, perhaps Violet will be finding someone to tend to her garden (her libido) soon
"I see you have met my brother, Lord Marcus Anderson." It would be SOOOOO funny if Violet fucks Lady Danbury's brother after finding out Danbury fucked her dad. It's very messy friendship LMAOOOO
"Perhaps we can enjoy the silence together." I like this man
"I am not afraid of you." "That... is a mistake." I was hoping Benedict would get to flirt with a man this season, but alas it does not seem to be in the cards (you're still bisexual to me, Benedict Bridgerton)
"Members of society do not work." Then how do they make money? Is it only what the crown gives you? What about the lawyers and doctors? Also lol @ this guy admitting that being a landlord isn't an honest line of work
"I do not wish to court someone exactly like myself. I want to be with someone who knows who they are, and embraces their own pecularity, as I do." Men in real life can never do for me what the men in Bridgerton do for me
"It is rare to begin as friends and for both parties to then feel more." I love that Colin is seeking out romantic advice from his mum, he's the only child so far who has earnestly listened to her
HAHAHAH not the I'm-asking-for-a-Friendcesca routine
Colin looked SO desperate to kiss Penelope that for a second I thought he might actually do it in the ballroom in front of everyone
They're selling me on Debling a little TOO much; it's like Daphne and the Prince. Like I know Pen and Colin are great friends, and that they have feelings for each other, but Debling seems like he would make an amazing husband, while I am less convinced that Colin would. Colin is sweet, but he is not street smart, and lacks the emotional awareness that Debling has:
Even if it's not what I ordered, I do enjoy Benedict catting around
What is Lady Danbury's beef with her brother LOL
"Step another pace backwards, you read me too well." Queen Charlotte's spinoff has really made me have a whole new appreciation for Brimsley
"But how will they know each other if they do not speak?" Honestly a very valid question, Violet
Considering that Lord Samadani wants to have eight kids, perhaps he should ask how many kids Francseca wants?
"Well, let him tell you about it. Men love to explain the world to us. If we have already explained it to ourselves through reading, then they will feel superfluous and unnmanned." Lady Featherington years ahead of her time in defining mansplaining HAHA
"Are there any novels in which the man goes travelling for a very long time, but his wife is happy to stay behind, tending the estate? I suppose that would not be a book with much sentiment, would it?" "Not necessarily. But if the wife had her own interests in life, then perhaps they could both be very happy." "A practical match, but a happy one? I like the sound of that." Again, you are selling me on Debling too well. I cannot believe you are making me root for a blond man with a Vegeta hairline*
*There's nothing wrong with the way this man looks, he just looks much older than Penelope!
"But it is tiring, is it not? The necessity for us to remain caveliar about the one thing in life that holds genuine meaning. Do you not find it lonely?" Colin Discovers: Toxic Masculinity Bad
"Do you know what is romantic? Security." Real, Lady Featherington
"My head is bottle-weary." What a poetic way to say you're hungover
Do we think Cressida and Eloise could fall in love? Let me have at least one lesbian in this show, please:
"And is your heart located in your breeches?" Apparently Lady Danbury's beef with her brother is that he is a slut
"To be honest, my work has such a large portion of my heart it may difficult to make more space. But I am very glad that you are someone who seems to have such a full life." Alright, I can see why Debling might not be the perfect match
Colin said: What up Penelope I'm here to ruin your marital prospects
"But these past few weeks have been full of confounding feelings. Feelings like a total inability to stop thinking about you. About that kiss. Feelings like dreaming of you when I'm asleep. And in fact, preferring sleep because that is where I might find you. A feeling that is like torture. But one which I cannot, will not, do not want to give up." I'll hand it to Colin, that was a pretty good confession, 8/10, I'd knock points off for the torture remark
Whoever is dating the Bridgerton cast has to be so strong, these scenes so impassioned
"For God's sake, Penelope Featherington, are you going to marry me or not?" Good for them!!!
I will say, bold choice to hard launch to the fam in the wee hours of the night immediately after a ball and fingering in the carriage, but if anyone's going to be cool about it, it's the Bridgertons:
EXTREMELY fair of Eloise to exit right away when she finds out her best friend with whom she has shared a borderline romantic breakup after several years of exploitation of her family for money and at least two pointed attacks on Eloise and her brother suddenly announces she's gonna be her sister-in-law
"And until he knows the real you, he cannot possibly love you." YOU RIGHT, ELOISE
"I will tell him. You have my word." "Very well." Kind of Eloise to still take Penelope at her word
NOT BENEDICT MISSING HIS BROTHER'S ENGAGEMENT BECAUSE HE WAS OUT PHILANDERING
Anthony and Kate are SO beautiful. I loooove them
"I am simply enjoying the view of my ravishing wife, and soon-to-be mother of my child." OOOOOh Kanthony baby, love that for them
HAHAHAHAH Anthony immediately forgetting how happy he is about the baby because he is PISSED another sibling is getting married without his permission
"I am one of the brothers as well." "I think of you as the family pet." BRUTAL HYACINTH HAHA
"If I do have to marry a man who could be my great-grandfather, we can at least use his money to shop, and queen over society like Lady Danbury." Cressida you are so lesbian to meeee
"The final part, the betrothal. it did all happen rather... swiftly." "It was swift because you--" "Are you going to duel your own brother or...?" Anthony's definitely thinking about it, Benedict!
Anthony insisting on Colin telling Penelope the depth of his feelings for her. That's growth, baby!
"I proposed to [Penelope] out of love, nothing less. And were you not so narrowly concerned over your own standing, you might see see that Penelope is the most eligible amongst you." Now THIS is the romance I'm talking about, Colin
"I will always stand up for you. Because I love you... Pen." "Are you sure?" [Nods] AWWWW they're so sweet
"You are cleverest, bravest woman I have ever known." Finally a compliment that feels like it's about Penelope (even if it was immediately followed by a comment about Colin)
I love Colin's Lustful List of How Hot His Fiancee is, and that he asks her specifically if she wants to stop because she's a lady!!
Oh smutty consensual Bridgerton, we back baybeeeeeeeee
"Tell me what to do." "I will do everything." "No, tell me." Ohhhhhh I love this
I LOVE knowing that Nicola Coughlan requested to be as naked as possible for this scene as a memory of how hot she is. And she was RIGHT
"Can we do it again?" "Give me five minutes. Maybe ten." HAHAHA this was a perfect scene from start to finish
"Is this the only reason you wish to delay our news? You are happy, I hope?" "Oh... Very happy." I love Anthony checking in on Kate about her pregnancy. He is such a sweet husband
"I wish to be married. Very much, in fact. I just hope my husband will not hide my piano stool from me." "I would not dream of it." I have been sold on John Stirling since his first shared silence with Francesca, I love them!!
"You seem to be quite good at [planning hospitality.]" "Oh, I am. I'd still much rather be out riding somewhere." I love Eloise and Kate's friendship also
"Finally, the woman will get the consequences she deserves." You see, Penelope, this is why you should have told Colin you were Whistledown BEFORE you agreed to marry him. Or before sex, or at any point whatsoever. You KNOW he has beef with Whistledown. This is engagement-ending stakes
God Eloise has been SO reasonable this whole time but I really do think the 5000 pound reward is a fair incentive to sell Penelope down the river for her own sake or even for Cressida's. It's tough being a lady in the 1800s!
"Somber clothing is best. Gray or brown. And we do not flit about town, engaged in gossip within the ton. We shall attend no more than one ball per month, and only if the hosts are of strong moral character. I certainly do not believe in music, and modern art nowadays is absolutey scandalous. Her tender eyes and ears will never be exposed to such filth." Not to be dramatic but I think Lord Greer has to die. Somebody needs to spook him really hard, he's like 105, it won't take much
"Featheringtons support one another." "Is that what you were doing earlier, supporting me?" "You are right, I have been unkind. But it stops now. And thankfully we have your engagement party coming up to allow us our fresh start." Parents really do think they can fix years of trauma with a single 'my bad'
"Your ledgers will not miss you, but your family will." A good wake-up call for Mondrich
"Do not take an interest in her. I have a new bow and arrow. Would you like to see it?" Tweens are still the same in 1815 HAHA
Hahaha Lady Danbury could not be emanating "Please don't fuck my brother," vibes harder. To which Lady Bridgerton said, "You fucked my dad, I'm definitely fucking your brother!"
"If it proves too difficult for you to reveal the truth, I will be merciful and reveal it to him myself. You have until midnight." Good for Eloise for giving her a deadline!!
AWWWWW John struggling through the boots story. He said: I'm an introvert and I will not be socialized, xoxo
"I know it is unlike you to cajole your own children." "You mock me." "As you rightly mocked me all last season." I missed these interactions between Anthony and Mama Bridgerton!!! I love when the Bridgertons are all in the same place
HAHAHAHA not Eloise dropping a really threatening post-script to Colin's speech about how excited he is for marriage
If they don't want me to want Penelope and Eloise to be in love, they gotta stop being so fucking intense all the time. They're turning charades into their own private intellectual battle
Also Cressida is reasonably, pretty jealous, considering the homoerotic friendship fight vibes. She said: Hey, I thought it was my turn to be gay!
Eloise said: I do not have time for two homoerotic friendships, sorry Cressida, Penelope has seniority
"All that to say, sometimes I miss what is right in front of me. But not Miss Francesca. Her, I saw straight away." I love you John, you are my favourite Bridgerton character of the season (book readers, tell me nothing!!)
"It is a great change, but you and I will make our way with our child, as we have always done with each other," said Anthony, like they weren't a whole mess last season public fucking in the Bridgerton gardens and getting into horse accidents
OMGGGGGGGGGG Cressida! Saying she's Whistledown so that she doesn't have to marry Lord Greer is truly a 'work smarter, not harder' moment
The smart move for Penelope would be to say nothing at all as Lady Whistledown and see how the Cressida thing pans out. Also, TELL COLIN!!
"You have many gifts, but cleverness is not amongst them." A harsh review on Cressida from Mama Cowper
"It is one thing to follow the rules. But if you want to win the game, you must lead it. Otherwise you will always be on the defensive." I love Agatha mentoring the Mondrichs
"Lady Bridgerton. Forgive my intrusion, I simply forgot my hat." Lord Anderson left his hat so he'd have an excuse to see her again. This is No. 1 in the Flirting Playbook
My question is: How do you have a booty call when you have have seven of your children in your house. Eight if you count in-laws!
Anderson really came to just flirt with Violet and leave. I love that!
"Excuse me, I have been taken ill of the plague, and you are all doomed by association." HAHAHA John is so funny. I keep saying I love him, but it's true
HAHAHAH Benedict ending his macaron fight with Gregory and Hyacinth by saying "Last macaron for you," to John, his new soon-to-be brother-in-law is incredible family dynamics at play
"Perhaps I can make Lady Whistledown go away, so she shall not be able to harm any of us again." "You will speak with Miss Cowper?" "With the scribe herself." Eloise is a WAY better friend than Penelope deserves
"Eloise, I have worked too hard for too long. Of all people, I refuse to let Cressida Cowper take credit." We have passed Bad Friend and circled to deranged. It is NOT girl boss behaviour to lie to your fiance and BRAG about exploiting your friend. Get some help, Penelope!
"Lady Whistledown is my name. Not hers." "Your name is about to Bridgerton. You cannot be both." YOU TELL HER, ELOISE
"We think speaking to the Queen would be the wisest decision." "Well, if you think you are up to it." "We would like you to speak to the Queen." Francesca said: I'm not afraid to have my mommy fight my battles for me
"What about my dreams?" "What dreams? Ladies do not have dreams. They have husbands." I know is a great line and a really stark commentary on the lack of independence for women of the era, but it also kinda reminds me of 'I do not remember names, I am female' in Queen Charlotte and that kills me a bit HAHA
"And my greatest wish has always been for you three to do better than I did. And you have." Penelope having her Mum Trauma healed in real time
Also Lady Featherington, the mess that she is, continues to be one of the most compelling characters in this show
"I am hosting a dinner party later this week. For you, and me, and my dear friend Paul. Will you come?" [CHANTING] BISEXUAL BENEDICT, BISEXUAL BENEDICT, LET HIM KISS PAUL
"I'm writing a manuscript in fact." [High pitched, perturbed] "Oh, are you?" That's also how I feel about Colin's manuscript, Benedict
Colin dancing with Penelope in the empty church <3 Stoppp it's so sweet. (Also. TELL HIM)
"May I present Lady Keswick." Danbury said: You will not be fucking my best friend on my watch, brother!! If only Eloise was this efficient
"It is no wonder Penelope abandoned you. All you ever do is talk. You clearly just envious that I have made something of myself." "Perhaps I am envious of Whistledown. It is quite a feat. And after spending a season feeling nearly invisible, I almost understand why one might be driven to write it. Congratulations on your hard-earned success." Not another homerotic friendship break-up. That's 2 for 2, Eloise!
It must be weird for all the Featheringtons now that Penelope is the favourite child
Well, burning every copy of Whistledown she's made and hanging up her pen is the second best thing that Penelope could do other than TELLING COLIN
They're really namedropping the town of Mayfair more this season than any before it
"You know my favourite part about dressmaking is seeing the glow on a woman's face when she puts the dress on. I can't imagine ever giving that feeling up. At any rate, we will make you the most beautiful dress." I appreciate Delacroix sharing what she thinks about Penelope giving up the column without pushing her in any sense
Things are going pretty well for me Bisexual Threesome Dreams:
Every since that one post about how the Bridgertons are the Kardashians of their town because they're popular, rich and keep getting with people of colour, I CANNOT stop thinking about it. Particularly for Lady Bridgerton and Lord Anderson, who are now Nicer Kris Jenner and Old Timey Hoe Corey Gamble in my mind
HAHAHAHAH Agatha really said: Marcus I will introduce you to EVERY widow in this town if it keeps you away from Violet
"Not bad. Not bad at all." God I love the Mondrichs earning the Queen's respect by throwing the sickest first ball the town has seen
"I have supported you." "You have been perfunctory in your support." Something something when the people who you love fail you
"Not every attachment must be dramatic and hard-fought. What John and I have is easy... and I love him, Mama. Even if it is not the love you want for me." We have now circled back to Violet's S2 ideology that Bridgertons are physically incapable of having a healthy courtship. Francesca has one, and it's nearly destroying her relationship with her mother LMAO
"The night before I was to be married, I very nearly escaped to freedom. Do you think I did not know that it was you who betrayed me to our father? I heard him thank you." That's really fair, I know it's been like 30 years and Agatha has a really nice life now, but financial independence does not make up for years of marital [LOUD FOGHORN NOISE] and the general unpleasantness of being married to Lord Danbury
"Soma. Soma..." "Soma? You think you can call me by my born name, and right the wrong?" Lord Danbury took her NAME? EUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I genuinely think that Marcus didn't know. It's giving, for me it was the worst day of my life, for you, it was a Tuesday
"Apparently the wine has made me rather rude." "It has also made you rather charming." I think Benedict is about kiss a man. I have NEVER been happier while watching Bridgerton. I have been saying Bi Benedict since Day 1. He's my people. That is a bisexual man!! I had to pause to hop around for a minute because I am that thrilled at the possibility what I have been asking for 3 years might actually come to fruition. GOD BLESS SHONDALAND. [HOLT FROM B99 VOICE] VINDICATION
Benedict after a man has flirted with him for the first time: I gotta go think about some stuff
I was joking, but HE DID have to go think about some stuff. Aww baby, you'll get there!
Not "[In BSL] she is the Devil," at Cressida hahahaha Sign Language Mama doesn't hold back
"Those [personal passages in my journal] are only for you." Awwww Colin that's sweet
Cressida is so unhinged for posting a Whistledown mid-ball. I do love the drama of it though
HAHAHA them having a close-up of Mama Cowper's arm with ink stains if we couldn't tell it was her from Cressida's near-and-far-far-and-wide speech earlier to the cohesive bulletin of her mum's writing. They don't do subtlety in Bridgerton
AWWWW the Crisis of Cowpers bringing Eloise and Penelope back together again. I can only imagine Colin's gonna overhear their conversation
"Writing was the only way I felt I could have a voice. And I should've been using the column to give a voice to the other voiceless. I have done plenty of damage with my pen. Please, let me use it now to do some good." "You must get a full issue out right away." I LOVE YOU PENELOPE AND ELOISE SOLVING THIS TOGETHER. CRIMES PARTIALLY FORGIVEN, PEN!
"You... are Lady Whistledown?" Turns out he followed her to the publishing house. FINALLY THOUGH. Talk it out, you Bonkers Betrothed
[Tearfully] "All of the lies... you have told me. All of the things you have written about me and my family." That is SUCH a fair reaction Colin, Penelope really has built an empire on shit-talking your family in secret
"I will never forgive you." Really? Cause you've got like 3 weeks to figure it out before your wedding, Colin
"Perhaps, because a few of [the Bridgerton children] may be of dubious parentage." What does that even MEAN, Cressida!! Which parent are you suggesting was getting around
Also, how's Penelope planning to explain the situation with Colin to anyone. What's Colin gonna do? The last time a woman lied to him, he had to end an engagement
"How many eyes exactly do you think there are in the ton?" "Double the amount of people, I would imagine." Philippa and Prudence's dialogue is great
"Whenever I try to grasp her hand these days, she does not swat it away with nearly the same gusto." Prudence has married the only man in this town with a rejection kink
"Perhaps I should read it then. I could use a distraction." You can't read your way out of bisexuality, Benedict. Try taking Am I Gay Quizzes and failing them. It worked for me!
"I cannot help you with this, Pen. I am so grateful for everything you have done for me, but already, I feel in the middle between you and Colin. Perhaps I always have been." That's because your friendships always lean romantic, Eloise!! And your best friend loves to lie all day every day
"But I hope you know that my care for you is not contingent on your aid. I am here for you, Agatha. Always. Even when there are no unmarried children left to help." [Softly] "Thank you, Violet. That means a great deal to me." Ohhhhh I love their friendship
"Are you going to stop publishing?" "I do not know." At least Penelope is finally being honest
Colin said: I'm still gonna marry you, but I'm not gonna be happy about it, Pen!!!
HAHAHAHA Tilley inviting Benedict over for an After You Ran Away from Our Threesome Offer Debrief. You know, I found them boring in the first half, but they've really sold me on the second half
"I have known men like Mr. Suarez, but I myself have never felt tempted... before." Oh, that's a qualifier Benedict
"But a feeling between two people, whatever their sex, is the most natural thing in the world." Lady Tilley said: Let me be your Bisexual Guru, Benedict
"If you did not feel anything with Mr. Suarez, then let us, you and I, continue on our own. But you should know... my staff are very discreet." GOD. That we are not only getting bisexual Benedict but that he is getting a bisexuality ARC. More than I could've asked for. I am kissing the Bridgerton writers on the mouth. Giggling and kicking my feet
Look at him trying to figure out if his sexuality. Benedict Girl til I die. FAVE FROM DAY 1
Violet lustfully watching Lord Anderson eat a fruit jelly. This is EXACTLY what Colin did to Penelope. Like mother, like son. All of her kids are different aspects of her personality
"I am not uninterested in exploration. But I will not know if I am ready for that, until after the affairs are... in order. Especially because I am not the only whose affairs need ordering." Violet said: We cannot start a situationship until you sort out your relationship with your sister, Marcus
When Cressida stared into the mirror I did expect Chappell Roan to start playing in violins
"Well, if I am to be bold, I should need some time to think about it." HAHAHA John Stirling, love of my life (second only to Benedict)
"Is everything well?" "Is everything well with you?" The B & C are really going through it on this stag night
"You were a girl who did not know her own power." "But does that justify it?" "No." Madame Delacroix is the realest friend
I really am glad that Colin is airing out all of his beefs with the Whistledown papers. He deserves to give her a lecture
"I can take care of myself." "Then what good am I to you?" "Colin, I love you!" Colin, you have value beyond what you can do for others
Also I can't believe they're ending this fight by getting frisky on the street. WHERE ARE YOUR PRIORITIES, YOU FREAKS? (AFFECTIONATE)
Relationship status: It's extremely complicated:
"Two glasses is celebratory. One whole bottle is a cry for help." HAHAH I love Kate's zingers, she's truly sharp as a tack
[Kate, laughing] "You think our marriage is perfect?" [Anthony, immediatley heartbroken] "Is it not?" HAHAHAH THEY ARE SO CUTE
Every time Kate makes any reference to marriage being hard, Anthony immediately gets upset and goes, 'I love you, our marriage has no flaws, why are you bullying me?'
"I drunk a whole bottle before my wedding (the second wedding) and it was deeply celebratory. Three raw eggs in the morning." It's been a while since Anthony has broken out Dad Mode, but that was a good one
The context that Marcus was 10 years old when he ratted out Agatha trying to escape really does make me not blame him quite so hard for it. He was a kid, he didn't understand long term consequences!
"You had something in you all along, a kind of courage I never dreamed of having. I have wished so many times that I had stood up to him. For you. For myself." New Bridgerton Dubious Race Trope unlocked: Why do all the Black characters (Simon, Agatha, the ongoing plot around the Mondrichs, Marina and Charlotte not having parents at all) have abusive or absent fathers? Discuss
But to be fair, most people in Bridgerton have absent or dead fathers. They're like 'Men? We don't need 'em!'
Also, good for Marcus for putting his resepect for his sister into words
"Do not come for my cane. I suppose you got all the good joints in the family." What a chronic pain sister with a healthy brother mood
"At last, my life is full of joy. And I've been afraid you would take it away from me." "Any joy I am after, I deep hope you are a large part of." Ohhhhhhh we love a healing of family trauma. This is the season of Therapizing Your Relatives
The way they keep referencing Anthony and Kate's wedding that they completely skipped. LOL
WHY IS YELLOW BY COLDPLAY THEIR WEDDING MARCH SONG LMAOOOOO
To date they have not shown a wedding under normal circumstances. Someone's always fighting, or lying, or under duress. It's brutal actually
Ohhhhh the way Colin nods at Penelope like 'we'll be okay.' MY HEART. I do love that they are friends in love getting married
I do feel like this was the most normal wedding so far. Good for them!
"Which brother or sister do you like the best?" "Gregory, clearly." HAHAHA I love Benedict and Eloise's little chats. Best sibling duo
"Love is not finite, Eloise. The friendship you have with Penelope is a lucky thing. As is the one you have with Colin." AWWW Eloise is sad because she thinks they don't have room for her in their hearts (Penelope especially, I think)
"Our child... will always be a Bridgerton. But I should like them to know that they are a Sharma as well, know their history. And it is important for me to know it so that we can share that history, with our child, together." I know that this India trip probably solves a plot purpose of giving Anthony and Kate a place to be but I can't help but also think of what a great example of cross-cultural parenting Anthony is providing. He's so good!!
Anthony and Kate really do be kissing in public all the time, HA
"Weddings are never for the bride and groom, even when things are... well, between the couple." "Thank you, for allowing me work it out for myself." [Lightheartedly] "Well, this wedding couldn't plan itself. I have not had time to meddle. Whatever it is, I know you will resolve it." Lady Featherington and Penelope have come a long way
Them doing the cutaway to them being the only people in the room while they dance. I see you 2005 Pride and Prejudice fan who did directed this scene
"I did not think you a dancer." "Perhaps not. But perhaps we should both be more bold in declaring ourselves." Is it unfair to Colin and Penelope if I say Lord Kilmartin and Francesca are my favourite couple of the season? 'Cause they are
Now that Lady Danbury is cool with Violet and Marcus, Anthony has switched to 'HEY. HEY DO NOT HIT ON MY MUM, LORD ANDERSON. THAT'S MY MUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' O'VISION
I love that the Queen said, "Everyone who's not a Bridgerton, get out," and Lady Danbury said, "Hey, I am at least half Bridgerton by now, I'm staying."
"Do you know what it is like to have nowhere in the world where you can truly be yourself? You cannot possibly know, because you are not a woman. You have the choice to be any kind of person you wish to be, while the only choice women have is to conceal the parts of us the world will not accept." Penelope said: Lying to your fiance and exploiting his family for money is feminism, actually
It's very reasonable for Colin to not accept Penelope continuing to be Whistledown
Aww at least Eloise and Penelope's friendship is back in full force
VINDICATIONNNNNNNNN. BISEXUAL BENEDICT CANON. I WIN. WE ALL WIN. I KNEW HE WAS THE MOST BISEXUAL BRIDGERTON. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
They split this season in two halves just so they could bisexualize Benedict during Pride Month. That's the reason. I've decided. Happy Pride Month to me!!!!
Also the emotional contrast of these last couple of scenes jgjhgjh
Colin: Fighting with his wife about life-altering deal-breaking secrets 0.03 seconds into marriage, on edge, disappointed and heartbroken
Benedict: Realizing there's a whole other kind of sex he could be having, and having a great time
"You will pay me my sum, or I will reveal the truth to the entire ton." Cressida isn't nice, but she did make a good detective and subsequently, blackmailer
Poor Violet trying to avoid being thrown into scandal once more. Also her and Anthony with parallel declarations that they would've noticed if someone in their house was Whistledown, even though it was Penelope, who until now, has lived across the street
Also also also: Francesca now dropping her own news that she's moving to Scotland Post-Haste
It is satisfying to see Penelope, Colin, Eloise and Lady Featherington all trying to sort out this Whistledown blackmail because they're all aware
"I will not cower to Miss Cowper. I will call upon her tomorrow. Bring her to see this course of action is ruinous for everyone involved." Good luck, Colin
HAHAHAHA again with the contrast of Benedict's family being in crisis while he is off Philandering: Bisexuality Edition
"You do not sound as if you hate Whistledown. You sound as if you are jealous of her." [Unconvincingly] "No I'm not."
Cressida making the sum twice as much + a nice review in Whistledown when Colin tries to empathize with her with his excellent man-free-for-world-travels and supportive family. I'm not gonna lie, kinda girlboss of her
HAHAHAHA Benedict has had no scenes in the past half an hour of Bridgerton but back-and-forths to him and Paul and Tilley. I love it. He's having a great night. They're leaving no doubt about him enjoying this
Also. Not to be bisexual myself. But Benedict being with a man and a woman at the same time is doing more for me than any other Bridgerton scene has ever done. It's a combination of vindication, being a Benedict girl, and the high of hot bi people. Bridgerton. I once again give you a little kiss on the mouth
"You are both adults. You may do as you wish. After all, it is not as though I asked your permission." I cannot believe Agatha is using this Are-You-Gonna-Date-My-Brother talk to confirm that she fucked Violet's dad. Unhinged. Incredible. What the hell!!
"I know my father was a good man. And that you have been a very good friend. And that is all I need to know." Not good enough to not cheat on his wife though, Violet! But I love the sentiment
"And my brother is a good man. And you are a good friend. And that is all I need to know as well." Awww, I do love a mirrored dialogue. I've said it before but Agatha and Violet's friendship is perhaps my favourite on this show
The zoom in on the Birthday hat was EVIL. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
"How do you stand society events?" "I suppose I have love to give in abundance. Love for a bit of chitchat. And love for a good party. Especially a party of three." Benedict is still a romantic at heart, even in a threesome pile
OMG HAS COLIN KEPT EVERY LETTER PENELOPE HAS EVER WRITTEN HIM? I LOOOVE
This does kind of get me thinking of how they handle garbage disposal in Georgian England
Finally the embezzlement funds from Cousin Jack come back to haunt them. The Featheringtons are never not in financial crisis
"What will Lady Whistledown write about our disgrace when I am exposed?" "She will write whatever I like her." "That is a agreat power. What a thing you have made for yourself." This is the most optimistic final take Lady Featherington could have on her daughter being an infamous gossip columnist
"It is my great hope that the silence and beauty of Scotland will allow me to know myself better, so that you can all know me better as well. I want nothing more than to be close." Francesca has such a good heart
"For a long time, I thought that is what love must be like for everyone. Surprising, forceful, quick. But you have shown me that there is another way. There is... beauty in the slow approach." You know what that is, Violet? That's growth! She's such a good mum
"May you now live together in holy matrimony until your dying breath." Ominous way to end their vows (book readers, tell me nothing!!)
What is the proper way to court a widow? I guess we'll find out!
"Lady Bridgerton, I see your openness reflected in Benedict, your charm in Colin, your wisdom in Eloise, and a brightness you've instilled in both Gregory and Hyacinth. In this moment, where I feel so much gratitude for my new wife, I feel it in equal measure for the remarkable woman who raised her. I thank you, all of you, from the bottom of my heart." Good speech John, I think you've really won the Bridgertons over
Francesca and John's wedding wins for most normal for sure
AW FRANCESCA AND VIOLET'S DUET. Something something complex relationships with your mother:
Also also also. Why are half the scenes in Bridgerton filmed like we're in somebody's pocket. Or in the flower vase. The huge blurs are distracting
"It is not what you do for me that makes me love you. It is your kindness. Your empathy. How much you care. Just being you is enough, Colin. I do not need you save me. I just need you stand by me." I'm glad Penelope is telling Colin this outright, he needed to hear it
"Tilley, you are extraordinary, but I am not certain that serious is what I want." Benedict is the only Bridgerton who knows how to communicate his feelings directly right away
"Is it because of Paul?" "No. Paul could be Patricia, or Polly, or Peter, or all three at once. What happened between the three of us, what has happened to me since I met you, has made me realize how good it feels to be free. You've opened my world. I am not ready to close it again just now." Benedict said: I gotta sow my wild bisexual oats, Tilley, I am not looking for a wife at present
We are BACK at the Bisexual and Lesbian Sibling Swingset. This is where I first grew so attached to Benedict and Eloise. It really is a full circle moment:
"It feels right now that the next thing I learn may change me entirely." "I agree profoundly with everything you've said, as I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about." Their dialogue is so fun
"We should not let so long pass again between us before we meet on these swings to be entirely confused together." BENEDICT. B AND E BEST SIBLING DUO
Lady Featherington saying she's proud of her daughters like it's been ripped out of her forcefully. She is so my mum-coded LMAO
"She calls upon my mercy, asking to address you all herself. To plead her case publicly, before I pass my judgment. So I turn the floor over now to the scribe herself." This is a very dramatic way to resolve the Lady Whistledown situation but I guess they did leave it til the last 20 minutes of the season
Also RIP Cressida, who is definitely being shipped off to Wales
"She seems humbled, but we will be watching that she remains so. What is life without a little gossip?" Wow, all took was 3 minutes of 'my bad, you're actually very brave for doing things where I can see them, I won't do it again xoxo' to win over the whole ballroom and the Queen. Power of Lady Whistledown, I guess!
HAHAHAHAHA THE BUGS THAT PHILIPPA LOVED SO MUCH BEING BUTTERFLIES. I WAS KIND OF HOPING THEY WERE SPIDERS (EVEN THOUGH THEYR'E ARACHNIDS) FOR THE COMEDY, BUT THIS IS MUCH CUTER
"You... are a genius." "I know!" Hee hee, go Featherington (or Dankworth-Finch, as it were) sisters
"There is only one person who loves the Bridgertons more than I." "You knew it was me." "I suspected. You are not the only lady of the ton who can keep a secret." YEAH AGATHA <3
"We can now tell that solicitor that money came from my writing. He will have no recourse. Time for us to do better." [Softly] "My girl." I wonder if Lady Featherington is gonna come clean and give the money back
"You have always had one voice. There is no separating you from Whistledown. And after seeing you speak today, well, I would not want to." AND it fixed her marriage. What a powerful speech
"If my only purpose in life is to love a woman as great as you, then I will be a very fulfilled man, indeed." "I love you. You are very good man, Mr. Bridgerton." I didn't buy the forgiveness because it feels super rushed, but I do buy this
"Francesca Bridgerton. Kilmartin. Kilmartin is my name now." Ggkhkgjhgkjhg why is Francesca so flustered by Michaela Stirling? Is she also gonna go down a sexuality journey?? Not the sibling I anticipated!! Also does them introducing a new character mean the story will follow Eloise and Francesca in Scotland
Also wait wait wait. IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FRANCESCA'S (BOOK SPOILERS THAT I HAVE VAGUELY OBTAINED) OTHER LOVE INTEREST? OH MY GOD
"Only until next year. Do you think Mama would ever let me miss her Masquerade Ball?" WEE OO WEE OO I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE BOOKS TO KNOW THAT THAT MEAN'S BENEDICT'S NEXT BABEYYYYYYY
You know, I kept thinking about how Penelope had lost a titled match for Colin, who is the third son, and it turns out they do get to have a little baby Lord Featherington! And she gets to pass on her family name. I love that for Penelope:
What this season lacked in pacing, it more than made up for in gusto, Bisexual Bridgertons, really powerful and satisfactory friendships, a ton of Bridgerton family interactions, and more than enough romance to keep me giggling and kicking my feet for days. Honestly, it might be my favourite season, for little to do with the main couple, everything to do with the drama and excitement and fun dialogue of it all. I do really keep enjoying this show!! Every part of Bridgerton is good after S1 LOOOOL. KEEP 'EM COMING BABY!

FNaF fandom: "I hate Gregory! He's an emotionless monster who kills people and only cares about himself!"
I'd like to disagree. I mean, yeah sure he was heartless and cold, but we gotta remember why he was like that in the first place.
In GGY, he was under the control of Glitchtrap, so obviously he's gonna be cold, it's because he probably doesn't want to much attention to himself especially because he's a hacker. And he killed counselors/therapists incase they got to close. And just like Vanessa, he most likely had no choice.
FNaF fandom: "But that was his GGY era. What about Gregory?"
Well, admittedly, he was cold in the beginning. Especially to Freddy. But we gotta put ourselves in his shoes for a bit. He is homeless, just woke up from a random coma and all of a sudden there's a rabbit lady/security guard that wants to kill him, cool animatronics that went hostile on him, and he genuinely doesn't know anything atp.
But during his adventure, we see how he starts to grow fond of Freddy. Heck, he asks if Freddy's okay at several points. Freddy showed maternity instincts to a kid who's genuinely lost. No wonder Freddy is Gregory's favorite.
FNaF fandom: "But that was only Freddy! He was cold to the other animatronics! He dismantled and took parts from them! Those animatronics did nothing to him!"
To be fair, those animatronics were hunting him. Only Freddy wasn't. He even asks Freddy why he wasn't attacking him [Gregory]. And yes, Gregory did dismantle them, but he did so to help himself and Freddy escape the place. While it hurts, if we were in his shoes we would have probably done the same thing. I mean, they tried to hurt him. In Gregory's eyes, he's giving them karma.
FNaF fandom: "But what about the Ruin DLC!? He lied to Cassie! He dropped her in an elevator shaft! He doesn't care about her!"
First off, we don't know who dropped the elevator. It could be Gregory. It could be The Mimic. We don't know. Also, it was Grimic who lied to Cassie, not Gregory. Grimic gaslight and lied to Cassie, causing her pain.
Also, not once was it shown that Gregory hurt Cassie. Quiet the opposite, actually. When nobody showed up to Cassie's birthday, guess who cheered her up? Gregory. If he were so heartless and cold, why would he come to check up on a random kid crying cuz her birthday party failed? Infact, why would he have bothered to become friends with her at all if he didn't care?
And it doesn't stop there. Through out Ruin, the Grimic only cared for itself. The only time it showed concern was when M.X.E.S jumpscared Cassie, but even then it didn't care if she was okay. But then notice how the real Gregory behaved with Cassie. One of the first things he does is try to explain the situation, as well as try to get her to safety. And notice his tone when he talks to her. He talks in a worried voice, displaying genuine concern for his friend. The Grimic never displayed such emotion. And unlike the Grimic, he actually does get Cassie to safety.
Now, if Gregory was the one to drop the elevator, or the Mimic was the one to do that- Like I said we don't know. Regardless it doesn't make him a horrible kid.
Just like Cassie and any other kid in this franchise, Gregory is a victim that was unfortunately dragged into this mess. And we shouldn't forget that.
Also: This kid isn't real. No actual people died. He's just a fictional character in a horror game franchise.
So... Chill out people-

Rosebelle Sonner
man I love yapping
Rosebelle's family do have an odd visual phenomenon where in the dark they turn into distorted figures. They don't actually turn into those things it's just a hallucination, so they are not aware of it. It doesn't really happen with Rosebelle and her partners because they see her in a different way so she stays the same, but strangers and others who don't know or like them will see them as such.
Charlie is only with Gerald's ass because her parents said they'd cut her off if she left him and she needed their financial support. She does not feel love for his ass and never did (he was just a hookup) but her parents said "nah we will not support a single mother" so she had to put up with his bullshit up until Rosebelle got with Spencer and Anatolii in her adult years.
She divorced him, got him arrested and got her and Gregory therapy. They've been doing a lot better ever since.
Gerald's high key a pervert omfg. Charlie would never let him touch her children in that way. She's actually come close to killing him just for trying.
Charlie owns many guns, actually. But she's the only one with access to them. That was until Rosebelle turned 11..
"Why didn't you shoot him?"
"I don't have a gun.."
"Well you need to start carrying."
"…"
"Now help me hide the body or you're grounded."
"What."
When Rosebelle pulled not one, but 2 guys she was low-key floored. When she found out one of them was super rich she actually couldn't believe it. She thought her daughter was aroace low-key.
She became an asexual after getting pregnant twice. And because of Gerald.
"As you can see, I have two lovely children. And only two. There will not be a third."
Charlie doesn't want Rosebelle to have any children before the age of 40. Rosebelle said "I got you" and pointed towards the adoption center.
She does treat Anatolii and Spencer with respect. She's a bit hesitant around Spencer though because she's scared his parents will find her and have her put in the ground if she dared to disrespect their son (Soph would they do this or no)
Rosebelle has canonically attacked her father. She bit his neck and wouldn't let go. Gerald began to choke her after that, calling her all kinds of vile names. Bro then took a whole ass kitchen knife and stabbed her to get her to stop resisting. Gregory came in with the scissors in clutch and stabbed him. Rosebelle banged his head against the counter, knocking him out.
They then ate his cheesecake and ice cream sandwiches. This was when Rosebelle was dating Spencer and Anatolii so she had to hide ts using her bow n stuff. That was when Charlie left him. (after getting her kids McDonald's as a reward)
Rosebelle has 2 cousins named Tyler and Daphne. Tyler is loud and likes giving concussions to people for even the smallest infraction. Daphne is a self absorbed so called "influencer" who records him doing so. They cannot stand each other sometimes and will openly badmouth the other.
Tyler and Daphne don't see Rosebelle a lot as a child because Charlie's sister didn't want to expose her children to the Sonner household. (real) When Charlie divorced Gerald though, they began seeing each other more. Tyler and Daphne have no bad blood with Rosebelle or Gregory, so they all hang out sometimes.
Tyler had no idea Rosebelle was even dating until he saw the ring on Rosebelle's finger (real)
Tyler - Who's the lucky man?
Gregory - There's two of them..
Tyler - What? Rosebelle you didn't tell me you were a player.
Rosebelle - Don't you ever accuse me of such a crime again.
Daphne - Well then how do you have 2 boyfriends?
Rosebelle - They're dating each other too…?
Tyler - What? How did you pull more men than me??
Daphne - Ahem???
Tyler - I mean uh how did you pull more than me..?
Rosebelle - Nah run that back.
They get into a lot of silly shenanigans hee hee.

Okay but to be fair..
Gregory is ABSOLUTELY NOT EVIL. Not in any way. But personally I DO think he tows the line into jerkass territory a bit.
I mean, Freddy tells the kid that these are his friends and theres something wrong with how they're acting, and Gregory IMMEDIATELY scraps those friends without a single thought of "maybe we can get them back to normal", because its "what they deserve" for going after him. And then he takes it a step farther by cannibalizing the people that Freddy clearly cares about, to upgrade Freddy for no clearly established reason when Freddy is little more than willing, only to dance around/avoid telling the truth to the ONE PERSON he trusts and cares about.
Like dont get me wrong, I do NOT hate Gregory or think he should be considered evil. The kid's clearly had a hard time of it and they all WERE after him with the intent of harm.
But I also think Gregory could have been explained or developed a little better, cuz frankly he's kind of a dick
GREGORY IS TWELVE!!!!
I hate that I really keep having to say this to people. Gregory is fairly average in terms of what a middleschooler is like... Everyone forgets what it's like being that age, and Gregory really has no guidance other then Freddy, who can only help him to a certain extent.
I don't think Gregory needs a complex motive for what he does. What do we know about Gregory's motives?
According to cut lines from Vanny, he's here looking for his friends.
Him being trapped in the pizzaplex and homeless and squatting in is also a motive enough... Like Gregory HAS NO PARENTS OR GUARDIANS OTHER THAN FREDDY to really tell him what's right from wrong here. And Freddy doesn't really help that much other than going "These are my friends..." and "I could open this gate if I had monty's claws" "if I had chicas voice box i could open this door" and... oh yeah "Maybe you'll find a way to deal with Roxy when you are there" We don't have evidence that any other of the animatronics besides Freddy are sentient.
Gregory NOT listening to Freddy is often beneficial at points. Freddy is the only one Gregory has, while Gregory sees him as a safe place, it has been SUPER consistent in that game that Gregory doesn't really listen to Freddy when it matters. Sure, Gregory will listen to Freddy on things like, how to navigate areas of the pizzaplex, tips for where Exits are, where to go next, how the Security Badges work, because it's all unfamiliar to Gregory and he is lost and needs the guidance But in other instances... if Gregory REALLY wants to do something. He'll do it. Like every average middle schooler. And often times, Gregory not listening is beneficial. LIKE LITERALLY if the Princess Quest Ending is canon in any AU like mine is, the Princess Quest ending ONLY occurs when Gregory DIRECTLY goes against Freddy's wishes and doesn't listen to him. Freddy wants you to turn the bots against Vanny..... but if you DON'T listen to Freddy and play the last princess quest game, you free Vanessa's soul and stop the glitch.... Which people often call the "best" ending since you free Her and the plex. Oh yeah, and other endings like the Car ending... Gregory doesn't listen to Freddy again, and takes Freddy with him rather then leave him behind and Freddy usually turns out okay. PLUS GREGORY WOULD HAVE NEVER MET FREDDY IF HE WENT INTO THE UNSAFE PLAY AREA OF HIS STOMACH HATCH WHEN HE WAS PASSED OUT TO HIDE FROM VANESSA IN THE FIRST PLACE. I think Gregory does the right balance of listening and not listening to Freddy. He actually behaves like an actual child! And I actually Like that Gregory takes initiative to decommission the animatronics that are chasing him and are super aggressive.
The Glamrocks have legit killed other children and employees. Possibly even Gregory's friends that he's looking for...
There is an entire wall in the "Sister Location Room" that gives explicit instructions on how to run and jump and shoot and avoid the animatronics.
Yes, while... Gregory did not need to go out of his way to Decommission all of them (especially chica or monty depending on your run through if you stay after 6am and decommission all three) And yes... Gregory COULD have theoretically stayed in Freddy's room all night after he retrieves him from Parts and Service.... but then we wouldn't have a videogame. Well, we could, but it would mean half of the game would be open world, then the other half would default to fnaf1 gameplay. Like he could have stayed in the Daycare or in Freddy's room, but he probably would have been found by Vanessa or someone eventually, and I don't think it would make for an interesting videogame to play.
Like, I love the fandom, and I love how so much of us have humanized the animatrioncs.
BUT FROM GREGORY'S POINT OF VIEW...
There is no evidence that any one of the animatronics other then Freddy are sentient. Like take off your "I love robots" and/or "I love the animatronics" and/or "Im a furry" glasses bias for FIVE seconds... and pretend you're... neutral on them... I'm sure Gregory isn't thinking of "how can I stop them without hurting them" .... like... at all.
And even if the animatronics ARE sentient and are killing children and employees against their will...
THEY ARE STILL KILLING PEOPLE.
And they have killed people, and they are hunting him. And will continue to hurt other people if Gregory doesn't do something. Which we learn is one of Gregory's motivations in the game in general
"If I leave now nothing will change will it, they'll be more disappearances"
I honestly feel that this line makes the "they get what they deserve" a little more justified in my eyes. And even up till that point... all of them have been super aggressive and chasing him all over the place.
Plus Empathy is a learned trait, and it's hard to develop empathy for something that is actively hunting you and is basically, a cold unfeeling murderous robots in his eyes that are aggressively chasing him all night.
Especially with how Gregory talks to Freddy about Decommissioning his friends.
(but it's not like Freddy tries to talk to his friends when you get close to them inside of Freddy like "hey, why are you hunting this kid?" or... "hey what is up bandmates... can't wait to get gregory" )
Do I feel like the animatronics "Get what they deserve" ? Like Gregory says?
No, I don't.
(my rl friend does tho who i introduced to sb this week looooooool)
But From Gregory's point of view, I think he is justified, and in Twin Animatronics... Gregory does have character development in the background to understand that "hey, the other animatronics are actually people and maybe I should start treating them better rather then just pieces of parts for Freddy"
I'm sick of these two polar extremes where "Gregory did nothing wrong" or "Gregory did some things wrong"
...I honestly think. With the knowledge the that Gregory knows... and being 12 and doing his best to survive...
He did the absolute best that he could given the circumstances.
And I'll just share a little of @witchysolfan 's thoughts on the matter.
I know I repeat a lot of myself here. I just had to get this all out.
Anyway. Love Gregory.
I do not think he's a uwu baby who did nothing wrong... But for all the information Gregory had at the time, and the age range he is, he made the correct choice based on all the information he knew at the time.... And in Twins... He'll learn more, and maybe possibly talk and apologize to the Glamrocks he broke (if all the Glamrocks weren't avoiding him like the plague right now due to trauma)

House MD Characters and Their Mentors
Oh look it's more of this very niche character analysis. This time I'm looking at which of @lorata's District Two Victors would be good mentors for House characters. House fans reading this: you would really like Lorata's writing. Only limited Hunger Games knowledge required (basically you need to know the premise); lots of messed up people making the best of things, found family shenanigans, emotional angst, and queerness.
Anyway, time for mentors!
James Wilson: Devon. The essence of a Devon tribute. Really wants to make the world better. Fairly messed up and depressed, but does genuinely care about the district, and even the kid he volunteers for. The one bit of really key information we are provided about Devon's tributes is that Devon's dreamers burn bright, but flame out as the reality of the Games shatters their world view. This reminds me a lot of how House says that "Wilson thinks that if he cares enough he'll never have to die" contrasted with Wilson's feelings of betrayal and devastation that he, a oncologist who gave his life to treating cancer, is dying of cancer. He served the Capitol, believed everything the Center told him, and the truth of the Games ---the pain and the guilt and the injustice of it all--- is a sudden betrayal that completely unbalances him. The only way he wins is through temporary Arena madness, the kind of desperation that caused him to double his dose of chemo in a last ditch effort to survive and make the world make sense again during canon. Devon's main challenge post-Arena is helping him rebuild his shattered sense of self: Wilson thought he was a good person, but you can only win the Hunger Games by being vicious. Devon, as someone who had a similar break, is the best choice to help him form a cohesive identity. Devon can see him for who he actually is, all of it, and still say he cares. Devon can cite his own struggles with accepting care without "enough work" in return to get Victor!Wilson to step back from compulsively ignoring his needs to "earn" affection. Devon can pull him out of spirals about how his mental state is worse than his brother's now and show him how there is a way forward. The Victory Tour almost kills him, all those people hate him even though he only ever did what was asked of him and what he thought was right. Along with Devon, there is probably only one other person who could help him embrace that he does not need to be perfect or liked by everyone, which brings us to...
Gregory House: Adessa. I went through multiple avenues with this one. First I thought Callista, because viciousness and unapologetic attitude. Then I thought Lyme, because abusive childhood, resentment of the rules, and attachment issues. So we had option A and option B...and we somehow landed around option L. I dismissed Callista because of the reasons I thought Lyme. I moved away from Lyme because she works best with tributes who want to open up but can't until after they win. Claudius wants a family, Misha wants affection, etc. House wouldn't want to open up--- he would want respect, validation, and someone to make everything make sense. The reasons Adessa wasn't a good fit for Nero would make her a great fit for Victor!House. Nero wanted to be told Adessa loves him, but House wouldn't trust any obvious display of affection---instead perceiving his mentor's care for him through nonverbal actions she takes: exactly what Adessa expected to be true of Nero. Adessa can make recovery and all the chaotic, swirling feelings fit within a reasonable framework. She can answer his questions and treat him like someone with a rational mind. She knows that if he opens up, he probably doesn't want to be touched. She understands why he doesn't want the cuddly relationship that Victor!Wilson would have with Devon. She wouldn't pressure him to talk about feelings before he was ready and would give him space when he was ready. She understands his intellectual curiosity. She's probably the only one who could get him to invest in therapy. He wouldn't go based on "I've been there" talks or "I care about you" talks, he would go because "after a significant trauma the logical course of action is to seek medical care, so that one can be assigned medications to regulate neurotransmitters, and to remove unwanted chaos so one can better focus on more important matters." Oh, and also if John House every showed up to take credit for shaping his son into a Victor, Adessa has a briefcase full of knives and decades of fantasizing about taking revenge on behalf of her Victors. They would find his body in pieces...probably. If Adessa was feeling nice and wanted Blythe to have closure.
Devon is terrified when Adessa requests a meeting with him. Misha asks him what he did like fifty times and he doesn't know. He almost calls his mentor, but doesn't because he's a mentor too now, dammit and Adessa totally shouldn't scare him anymore. When he shows up she opens with: "Our Victors appear to have significant romantic attraction to each other. Shall we hasten their union via jointly planned manipulation, culminating in an arranged one-on-one meal over candlelight, perhaps involving the exchange of flowers?"
Lisa Cuddy: Nero. This one is hard. Cuddy is a lot more difficult to analyze than House and Wilson even though I actually prefer her over House (Wilson is my favorite, he just has so many problems, weird habits, and hidden depression). She has a lot of contradictions. She's manipulative, but empathetic. She genuinely advocates for the rules, but allows for crazy ass things to take place. She seems to argue for the rules because she has to, but is inherently drawn to the more chaotic, vigilante tendencies of House. She puts on a show of obeying regulations set by those above her, but seeks power so that she can facilitate what she thinks is right (she repeatedly says she's the only one who would employ House). This is reflective of a Nero tribute. She doesn't know why she is drawn to violence and competition of the Centre, but she is. She completes her kill tests with the highest scores in her year, but she mainly only feels guilty for not feeling guilty. She doesn't have a rationalization for why she is like this the way someone with House's history has. She should want to join the Peacekeepers or be a medic. But the more time passes in the Centre, the more she wants to win the Hunger Games. She goes into the Games a year early, the youngest District Two volunteer in history, and even though she knows the killing is wrong she still wants to win because why shouldn't it be her? She's better at this than the others. However, the inner conflict causes problems post-Games, as the criticisms from other districts actually hurt her, because she agrees. She knows there's something wrong, she fears she might secretly be evil. Nero, with a lifetime of dealing with conflicted, crazy tributes, knows how to reassure her that even if that something is actually wrong, she still has people who love her.
Bonus! Ducklings:
Foreman: Brutus. He's just here to do his job. He knows he's better than his Centre rivals, so his job is the Games. Trying to make it right or wrong will only drive you crazy.
Chase: Lyme. Daddy issues, alcoholism in the family history, wants the authority to like him. Lots of weird hidden triggers.
Cameron: Emory. Wants to be a decent person, just kept going in the Centre because she figured no one would pick her and she owed it to her district to keep trying. She had a baby Victor crush on House and Adessa had to take Emory aside and be like "the baby is making my Victor uncomfortable, tell her to calm down."
Thirteen: Misha. Rules are for suckers, enjoy your life while you have it, desperately try to find meaning in the world while pretending you don't give a shit.
Kutner: Lyme. Wants to find a place to belong, shoves his emotional issues down because he thinks nobody cares. Thinks outside the box, but still responds well around authority he respects.
Taub: I have no fucking idea. Seriously, the more I try to think about this the more I have no thoughts, head empty. Maybe Odin? Odin has a "do what you're supposed to do no matter what, no matter the cost" ideology that would cause a mentor mismatch like Adessa and Nero but at least that mismatch is something.
Anyway if one (1) person requests a Victors!House/Wilson I will write scenes so you have been warned.

Married to a Brute Chapter 2 now up!
"So, did you read Night Terrors? Howlingoblin’s latest Golazar that I owled you?"
"Uhhh....yeah."
"Did the snake part absolutely blow your mind?"
"Yeah…yeah the snake. That snake killed so many people."
"Killed so many people?? What are you talking about? The only snake part in the whole story is when Sal has tied up Godric spread-eagled on his bed and then he commands the snake in parseltongue to....you know.."
Gregory looked a bit green in the face.
"How did you miss that part? That story is famous for that part."
"Actually Draco, I've been reading Golga fics lately. I really like those."
Draco was gobsmacked. "Golga? Surely you don't mean Godric and Helga Hufflepuff!"
His instinct was to savagely make fun of that pairing because who even read Golga fics?? There was no contention, no dilemma, nothing to make the plot interesting. Godric and Helga probably just held hands and skipped around a field of daisies with a litter of crups on their heels. He managed to temper himself though. Gregory's friendship was important to him and he didn't want to hurt his feelings. He didn't want to be like Pansy, coldly dismissing what your friends said.
"Oh!" he remarked, "But...isn't that...you know..boring?"
Gregory's face had lit up. "No. They're really sweet, and romantic. Plus, Golazar fics are so dark. I feel really uncomfortable reading those.”
“What do you mean?”
Greg looked a bit scared, so Draco tempered his expression. “What do you mean?” he repeated in a sweeter voice.
“It’s just..the last three stories you sent me had Salazar holding Godric prisoner in a dungeon and manipulating him into having sex.”
“That’s just one type of stories. I thought you liked those. There’s all sorts of Golazar fics. There’s one in which Sal sacrifices his life to save Godric and Godric only realizes after he’s dead. It’s a real tearjerker. I’ll owl you that one.”
Gregory was avoiding eye contact and looking guilty. “I’ve tried others but they all have a dark vibe. It makes me feel weird.”
He was beginning to feel offended. “Well it’s just fiction. You don’t have to be so judgmental about it.”
“No Draco No! I’m not being judgmental. I’ve always thought you had great taste. It’s just not for me personally. Honestly, I can see the appeal of the ship though. It’s so intense. It’s like you and Potter.”
Draco felt himself go red in the face. He gave an embarrassed laugh. “No it’s not. Godric and Sal are friends to enemies to lovers. Potter and I were never friends. And now we’re…we’re just enemies.”
“Golazar isn’t real though, but you’re going to marry Potter,” replied Gregory, sincerely, without any hint of irony.

New fic out now https://archiveofourown.org/works/56404393
Read it there or down below.
Cassandra "Cassie" Ramirez wasn’t exactly the type of person to be hateful or angry that often. It was just in her DNA to be as polite as possible to everyone around her. So naturally whenever something would come up that made her angry she would try her best to ignore the bubbling rage inside of her and carry on with her day.
But of course there were times when that rage would come out and today was one of those days. Today Cassie's mother Marla had invited some people over for a party and due to Cassie being what would call a social butterfly she was eager to talk to everyone that Marla had invited. That was until the night before when Cassie heard her mother having sex with her (what Cassie would consider to be) new boyfriend Lamar. Normally this shouldn't be a big deal but for Cassie it was.
Just over a year ago Cassie's Father was killed in a car accident. This had crushed the fifteen year old as she thought the world of her father. He meant everything to her. She had thought the same was true for her mother but to her surprise Marla had move on quickly. Before Cassie knew it Marla had Lamar over constantly. Every day when Cassie got home from school she would see Lamar hanging around her mother. It made her sick to her stomach knowing that her mother had moved on from the man she said she loved for over twenty years so quickly for this new guy.
So hearing them just having sex made her angry. So before the guests had arrived Cassie and her mother got into a heated shouting match which resulted in Cassie going to her room while the party happened down below. Cassie didn't blame Marla for sending her up to her room but it didn't mean she liked it.
As she heard the hustle downstairs Cassie couldn't help but feel even more angry at her mother. All of her resentment towards Lamar was the only thing she could think about. She hated everything about Lamar. He wasn’t like her father at all. He wasn’t funny or as kind hearted as him. Lamar was just...everything that her father wasn't.
Maybe it wasn't fair for her to compare Lamar to her father but Cassie didn't care. If he was to be her step father with the way he and Marla were going then she had a right to criticise him. Even then she held resentment to Marla for falling in love with him. Sure Cassie knew that Lamar and Marla had known each other since they were kids which was longer than Marla and her father but still. What her mother saw in Lamar was a mystery to the teenage girl.
As Cassie sulked in her room she was unaware of the footsteps that were getting increasingly louder until there was a knock on her bedroom door.
"Who is it?" Cassie asked, sounding way more agressive than normal.
"Uh hey Cass it's me Gregory." The voice replied sheepishly.
Realising who it was Cassie leaped from her bed and opened up her door to see her best friend standing in the doorway twiddling his thumbs. Gregory had been her best friend from birth with the two of them being inseparable which was to be expected seeing how tight of a friendship their mothers had. Yet despite knowing Gregory for all her life she had never seen him nervous about anything.
Gregory was normally a very confident kid. He was always on top of everything, quips, timing, you name it he was always on top of it. Though he was never nervous. Well that's a lie he would be nervous but only if he caused big enough trouble for his parents to tell him off and punish him. So seeing him standing in the hallway looking as though he had done something wrong was strange.
"Hi there Gregory." Cassie replied. "What are you doing up here?"
"I wanted to see you." Gregory answered quickly. "The party isn't that fun if you aren't down there."
Cassie snorted. "Isn't your cousin and sister down there? Surely you can bother them?"
With that cold reply Gregory's nervous look vaporised in an instant instead turning into the normal scowling face he had.
"Well Vanessa brought her boyfriend and Millie did the same bringing her girlfriend here and I don't exactly want to see them snogging do I?"
Cassie opened her mouth to make fun of her friend for being so against seeing his family making out with someone they loved but she held her tounge realising how hypocritical it would be. Instead she chose a different angle.
"Snogging?" She teased. "Did your Dad teach you that one?"
She giggled to herself slightly while Gregory rolled his eyes. There was one thing that Cassie could tease Gregory over and that was his usage of British terms that he got from his father. It was funny to hear Gregory use these foreign terms that no one else used. It was even funnier when they were kids and Gregory would misspell certain words for their British spellings.
"Yeah yeah yeah." Gregory huffed. "I know it's a funny British term doesn't matter, why are you in your room and not downstairs?"
With that Cassie's brief bit of happiness came to end and returned to her reality.
"I got...into an argument with Mom." She explained coldy. "And she sent me up here for the things I said."
"You got into an argument with your Mum?" Gregory asked, a small smirk forming on his face. "Since when did you get into arguments with your Mum?"
"It was about him." Cassie replied, venom dripping from her words especially when refering to Lamar.
"Him?"
"The asshole who I live with Gregory." Cassie angrily answered. "Lamar."
Gregory's smirk disappeared after the name being dropped. "Oh I see."
"Come on in and I'll tell you about it."
The two friends went into Cassie's room with Cassie shutting her door to make sure no one would over hear them. Sitting on the bed Cassie let out a long sigh before explaining what happened.
"So last night I got up to get a drink because I couldn't sleep and I uh... heard Mom and Lamar doing it?" Cassie started.
"Doing it?" Gregory asked. "As in sex?"
Cassie nodded. "I got into an argument with Mom about it an hour an a half ago now."
"Is that it seriously?" Gregory chuckled. "You got upset at your Mom having sex?"
"Not just that idiot." Cassie snapped. "It was the fact she did it with Lamar. She's like full on in love with him now and I hate it. With the way things are going he's going to be my step father by October."
"That's like three months away Cass."
"Exactly my point."
Gregory paused to think about what his friend was talking about. "Is it bad I don’t see an issue with that?"
"Yes." Cassie exclaimed. "I don’t want my step dad to be Lamar."
"Why not?" Gregory asked. "I don’t see an issue with him."
Cassie felt herself getting more and more heated at Gregory's ignorance. "He's not my Dad, Greg!" She shouted. "Mom's trying to replace him for this stupid guy who's nothing like him. How would you like it if Charlie married a new guy after Michael died and replaced him? Would that be fun for you?!"
Gregory flinched at Cassie's out burst before trying to compose himself.
"Cass I-"
"It doesn’t matter." Cassie interrupted, turning her back towards her friend. "Just go downstairs and leave me be since you like him."
There was a moment of silence until Cassie heard Gregory finally begin moving. It wasn’t until he got to the door did he reply.
"You know my Dad isn't actually my Dad right?" He croaked out.
It took a moment for Cassie to process what he had said but once she did she turned around to look at him.
"What?"
"Dad isn't my biological father." Gregory explained. "He's...actually my step father so I know how you feel... kinda."
Cassie felt her jaw drop. "What? But he's been with you since you were born... how-"
"Mum remarried." Gregory continued. "She had a previous marriage with a man that didn’t go great."
He paused before snorting at his explanation. "That's an understatement." He said to himself but Cassie heard it.
"She had a marriage before Uncle Michael?"
Gregory nodded. "Dad told me recently about it. The marriage wasn’t good. My father...the man she married was nasty and really abusive to her. Shortly after I was born, Mum ran away from him bringing me and Mill with her and well, Dad was there for her and one thing led to another.
Cassie just sat in silence. "You aren't lying are you?"
"I'm not." He answered. "Dad and Mill would back me up. Mum wouldn't as she doesn't want to talk about him ever. Can't say I blame her."
"So you don't know your actual Dad then?"
Gregory shook his head. "No and honestly I don’t want to. My step Dad is the only Dad I need in my life."
"But they lied to you!" Cassie exclaimed. "Aren't you angry that you've lived a lie. You've thought that Uncle Michael was your father but he wasn't. They took your dad away from you-"
"Didn't you hear me." Gregory snapped back. "I don’t need my biological Dad."
"But surely you're mad at them right?"
"No." Gregory replied. "Mum's happier with Dad than she would be with that prick. I would much rather have Mum be happy than know my biological father."
Cassie fidgeted in her bed. She understood Gregory's point and she knew what he was trying to do. He could read her friend like a open book and she didn’t like what he was trying to do. "So how does this relate to me and my Mom?"
"I'm just saying that if Lamar makes Aunt Marla happy then you shouldn't be mad at her for it." He explained. "He's not a bad guy. You just don't like him for not being your Dad."
"She's trying to replace him of course I'm not happy." Cassie huffed.
"I don’t think so." Gregory replied. "If anything she feels guilty."
"Guilty?"
Gregory looked around the hallway checking he wasn't being listened to before closing the door.
"So your Mum has come over to mine a few times when you're out doing stuff and I've heard her talk to my Mum about this." Gregory said. "She's been guilty about this and how she hates herself for it."
"As she should." Cassie replied.
"No she shouldn't Cass." Gregory quickly said back. "Aunt Marla doesn't want to replace your Dad but Lamar makes her feel happy and she wants to feel happy. She wants to move on but it doesn't mean she didn't love your Dad, she did and still does but he's gone and she just... needs someone else to fill that hole."
Cassie paused as she thought long and hard about Gregory's words. If that was really the case then why hadn't her mom talk to her about it? Unless if she was still thinking about how to talk to her about it. The more Cassie thought about it the more she began to feel guilty about her argument towards her mother.
"Crap..." Cassie blurted out when the realisation hit her. "I've been a bitch."
"I wouldn't say that." Gregory replied. "I would say you've been a dickhead."
"Oh aren't you funny." Cassie grumbled before smiling at Gregory's tease. "Though I've got to go talk to Mom about this now."
Jumping out off her bed Cassie sprinted towards the doorway and zoomed past Gregory reaching the stairs in an instant. However she paused before rushing back to Gregory and grabbed his face and gave her friend a quick peak on the lips leaving him stunned.
"Thanks for this Gregory." She smiled before rushing back to the stairs and running down them at a tremendous pace.
While Cassie did that Gregory remained in the same spot. His cheeks blushing like mad as he tried procesing what just happened. Before he could successfully do that his older sister Millie walked up the stairs and saw her little brother standing completely still flushed beyond belief.
"So what happened here?" Millie asked, smirking.
"No-nothing Mill." Gregory spluttered before rushing past her down the stairs. "Nothing at all."
Gregory rushed down the stairs leaving his sister to just smirk to herself.

I like that a lot of the tragedy about new fnaf is about how everyone lived, in contrast to the tragedy of old fnaf where everyone died
like gregory vanessa cassie the animatronics everyone had their lives ripped away from them because of the same source, but they didnt end after that.
the animatronics 'lived', but it was in an abandoned falling apart building while they're broken themselves and slowly losing their sanity. gregory survived the mimic and ggy and the streets but he'll never get back those years of childhood he lost or his parents or friends or old life and he has to live with that and the trauma from everything forever
vanessa lost her life and her free will right as she would have been free from her dad for good and was still put down and hated even as her alter ego. she was forced to leave her little support systems and drag other people into the same boat as her and kill people and after she gets freed abruptly she just has to. get back on her feet. and get a job and take care of Gregory and Freddy and somehow keep living a life as normal as anyone else but things are so different and she doesnt get a chance to sit and process everything
cassie doesnt die in the elevator crash and instead goes on to be trapped underground with something getting in her head. she gets taken over all alone by herself thinking that vanny was a friend and getting 'betrayed' again. once again someone's life is ripped away from them as they're forced to serve this virus, and its made a hundred times worse because no matter what it happened to cassie because Gregory wasnt fast enough. and theres so much tragedy in Gregory failing to stop what happened to him from happening to someone else let alone his best friend
and the tragedy that none of them will ever be free despite how they live on unless they kill the mimic and vanny for good, but theyve always just been too scared to do it. "the family missed the greatest opportunity of their lives" "the woman would kill the witch in the morning" they didnt kill them both when they could have and now other people are getting hurt along with themselves having to deal with it again after thinking they were okay.
and theres also tragedy in the glamrocks and how they lived in the pizzaplex. no matter how you view their sentience theyll always be seen as characters and machines and not real people despite how theyre literally alive and living. and alongside that in canon they push the idea of the animatronics not wanting to fit themselves into the character box (freddy) or not feeling like they deserve to be who they're supposed to (roxy) or not even trying to fit the bill because they're so overtaken with anger at it all (monty) or their programming making them crazy and obsessed with their characters gimmick so they're always trapped no matter what (chica). and how fronnie loved eachother but not only would the brand not have allowed it but bonnie gets decommissioned and Fazbear entertainment doesn't see it as worth it to keep him in the character roster so they just. dont. and Freddy has to deal with how unfair that is.
I just love SW era fnaf and how they do tragedy it's very interesting and cool

25 asks :00000
@ocinstituterep (Posts in question)
The cooling suits they wear at the beach are the same ones they wear under their uniforms :00 And it doesn't necessarily reflect the sun,, its just a battery powered suit that keeps them cool :}
I wasn't pressured into drawing the art exactly,, but all the questions about it did push me a little into looking into the series more.. That's not really a bad thing though, I did enjoy drawing those pictures soooo-
I get this question a lot <XD When I was first designing my sona I wanted to add something to their hands. At the time my hands were covered in Band-Aids from dry skin and cat scratches. So I thought "Hey! Bandaged/bloody hands would be cool and edgy :DD" So I added them <XDD
Oh yeah, that episode was a bit odd huh? XD I think in my version of Octonauts they didn't go all the way down to its stomach- maybe just into the mouth and got the Puffer fish out.
Now the REAL episode that I basically 100% cut is the cone snail episode. You know why? Cone snails are estimated to have poison strong enough to kill 700 people! And there's NO antidote!! NO ONE would have survived being stung. Not even the Captain. They all would have died and left Peso abandoned on a ship full of the bodies of his friends in the middle of the ocean... :x pretty dark huh-
@britneyt
Thank you! :DD
@gregorythechild
XD I was getting tired of Gregory being a little snot. In game and in the fandom. So once again I made a character good out of spite! XDD
SKJAOSKJOSX I DO ACTUALLY XDDD
The basis for my Kirby Anime AU is I just found a way to add all the Metaknights to the story. You know, Axe knight, Mace night, Javelin Knight,,, etc.
This is obviously a SUPER angsty AU. For example, Axe Knight was Metaknight's first follower and best friend. But then he sacrificed himself to save Metaknight. Thinking he failed his soul was restless and he now wanders the galaxy fighting Monsters and honoring Metaknights name.. Not knowing that Metaknight survived. Its a REALLY long story that I should ramble about sometime XDD
I would advise against it,, there are plenty of good reaction images out there to find! I should know, I have 996 of them saved! I'm almost at 1000! XDD
@pinkbomb08
Thank you! And not at the moment no- but I might draw him again someday :}}
@cudlycorncornsworthcoberson
Noooooothingggg... :}}}
@annathefenecfox
I think its because the poor guy probably doesn't have enough free time to practice consistently. Being the Captain he likely has so much to do all the time.. and when he can finally sit down and indulge in hobbies,, he likely would just rather relax and read a book instead. :( Poor fella
Ah, sorry. I don't know of any. <:/
I have actually! :DD I did not sleep good that night :}}}
@invaderdrey
Thank you so much!!!! :DD
Thank you so much! And as for the memes.. ehh, I'd say just to be safe, don't make em. Comments are more than enough. The first thing I do when I wake up is check Tumblr and see if anyone left a comment on my posts. Literally! Comments are the best thing you can give me!
Thank you so much!! :DD
Heck yeah, that's the best part! <XDDD
It definitely depends on my mood, I'm split 50/50 on which one I enjoy more :000
@chickenmilk120
@its-paperd
:DDD Thank you so much!! That means a lot!
@milk-powrit (Post in question)
<XD Thankfully no, Jangles is not an iPad kid. He was just playing on my phone because Bibi and I were conked out and he was bored XDD
@simon-says-lots-of-things
:DD Thank you so much!! And yeah, I don't care what's canon or not. I wont be drawing any lovey-dovey/shippy content unless its with my own original characters. Its just not my thing man, 🤷♂️
@twohourstoolong
Thank you! And yeah if I were you I'd ditch pinterest. Any time I have been browsing artwork on google and clicked the link, It always took me to some stolen artwork on pinterest. I'd just rather people never found me then have found me through stolen art on pinterest..
I have not :0 sounds thrilling though! :D

//SPOILERS for the GGY book (Even though it came out ages ago)
I just discovered this account, so I'm not sure if this has already been asked but what do you think about the "Gregory is Patient 46/GGY" idea? Got any thoughts, theories or headcanons about it?
Well I've gotta say. It is indeed, an idea.
Like okay, knowing me, I should be foaming at the mouth about this idea. Like HELL YEAH THE POTENTIAL ANGST THIS CAN CREATE!! THE DUALITY OF GOOD AND EVIL THAT CAN FIGHT INSIDE GREGORY AND LEAD TO CHARACTER DRAMA!!
But for some reason, I just don't think this idea works for Gregory?? Like on top of being a surprisingly tech savvy homeless preteen, HE'S ALSO A MURDERER AND MASTER HACKER!! It's almost giving me a nostalgic whiplash back to those edgy overpowered ocs you'd find on fnaf deviantart or God forbid QUOTEV CREEPYPASTA 😭😭
I also think that if it does end up canon, then the hatred for Gregory can now be validated as just and canon "We can hate him because he's canonically evil!!" Even Vanessa and WILLIAM are accepted as innocent babies who do no wrong but Gregory is PURE EVIL according to them ❗❗❗🔥🔥🔥
Also, how can ANYONE die to this small, 12 year old boy? Believe me I was a kid once too (twas a long time ago,,) and I could bite and scratch sure, but kill?? C'mon. You're telling me this probably malnourished (as implied in game) boy can kill grown adults? Not one of them thought of punting him out of existence?? HE'S LIKE- CHUCKY SIZED YOU CAN BEAT HIM
I'm still lowkey wishing at least the Mimic is the only book thing in the games (Absolutely hate the fact that its Canon now but I've unfortunately accepted it, kind of like a disgruntled step parent to the step child yk??) and I'm still hoping Vanessa is patient 46 as was originally implied in the OG version of SB (presumably, might have to rewatch the gameplay again)
But besides all that, as for theories/headcanons...
IF GREGORY CANONICALLY MURDERED HIS PARENTS AS DR. RABBIT I CAN AND WILL SCREAM MY LUNGS OUT 😭😭😭 I can't imagine how fucking tragic that would be!! Like sure it's almost Batman villain levels of insane BUT IT WOULD BE CRAZY
I do sadly expect they'll confirm P 46! Greg in HW2. Or at least they'll put GGY references in the game. I'll be very upset if it does happen BECAUSE I'LL HAVE TO REWRITE MY AUS AND TIMELINES ONCE MORE 💔💔
While the idea of Gregory manually killing people himself is funny (because again, tiny child vs fully grown adult, they can totally kick his ass!!) He probably used the robots as his minions (I actually do think that's what happens in the books?? But I've never read them so I don't quite know) (AND I'M NEVER GONNA KNOW!! GOOSEBUMPS IS SUPERIOR!! 💪🗣❗🔥)
Thanks for asking! If anyone wants more just ask!!

Not a very simple ask so feel free to not respond but
Since the mimic thing is so incredibly dumb and the alternative is also dumb. And the entire "WOAG afton is back!!!" thing is dumb.
What do you think would've been a better direction for the story? Like as a way to continue from pizzeria sim? Bonus points if you figure out a satisfying plot thread that still involves the pizzaplex.
I personally think it would've been interesting if the game went more in the direction of exploring more varied horror settings, all within the world of FNAF and using the underpinning of agony and remnant as a way to introduce new creepy crawlies. Possibly going along with the "cult of Afton" thing. A buncha internet peeps get fascinated by the mysterious deaths surrounding Fazbear's and it's founders, so they do some searching around in Afton's stuff, y'know casual B&E. They find some scattered notes on remnant (and agony maybe?) in his old house, which was abandoned a while ago and is in significant disrepair. Proceed with delusions of grandeur and hopes of immortality, and boom! You have a death murder cult!
So the spirit of Charlie is roused from its peace and begins softly manipulating random strangers into stumbling upon the machinations of the Macheivellian Murder Immortality Cult and putting a stop to their nonsense.
First thing that comes to mind is a building that someone was tortured in and subsequently had their body cut up and strewn across the building, and their remnant placed in the rebar, that kinda shit :3
While I do really like those ideas, I think i would try to keep it a bit more contained and maybe expand into some of the stuff you've brought up as time goes on
I would forego any lore relevance that help wanted/fnaf vr has, first off, and i mean completely forego it. it might drop some hints for upcoming games, but making it an in-universe meta thing has always rubbed me the wrong way. non-canon in every sense. just a collection of games, like we thought it was going to be ! ! ! ! !
I've never liked glitchtrap, and I have also always believed that Vanny should be a copycat killer, who has absolutely no direct affiliation with afton, because he is dead. forever. and ever. never to return. him "always coming back" should be more of a 'he always comes back to haunt you' situation or a 'his actions will affect people for the rest of time' thing rather than a literal resurrection
Instead of it being a network of people, I kinda just want Vanny to be a true crime freak who got a little too invested in Afton and his business and it eventually spiraled into her doing what you something akin to what you described. I have a whole AU for this, though no content has been created beyond designs. If agony & remnant work with all living things and not just people, I think maybe she killed some small animals before, saw a glimpse of how possession worked as an experiment, and immediately bought into (and spun more) conspiracy theories surrounding freddy's and the animatronics. I don't want her to be some dark, sad, motivated villain like Afton sort of became, but instead just literally being fucked up for the sake of it. Murdering kids for fun, because she wants to be like her idol. I think this arguably makes her more frightening than William, because at least he had motivations for a bit, right? He had a reason to be doing what he was doing. She doesn't.
Of course, that would be where the pizzaplex comes in. Assuming Henrys whole fazbear-entrepreneur-package wasnt ONLY dished out to Michael, that would be why it exists. Probably built by someone who already had way too much money, but I digress. Vanessa gets a job at the Pizzaplex. It's the perfect opportunity, afterall, and she probably needs the cash anyway.
The Glamrocks would be a threat because theyre trying to return Gregory to Vanessa, as per their night mode where they try to locate any lost patrons (or ones hiding out after dark) and bring them to whoevers working the night shift. I would definitely make them less sentient than they are, with any lines being more like glamrock chica's specifically (since they actually feel like something an animatronic thats programmed to round up kids after hours and get them back home WOULD SAY)
I think in order for this to work out with security breach still sort of being security breach, we'd have to rewrite the introduction to the game. There's a few big issues here, but the main one is figuring out why he's in the pizzaplex after dark. Since William is not involved anymore, having glamrock freddy faint on stage doesn't make sense, so we would have to get rid of that--At least, not in the way he does, for the reasons he does.
One thing I would've enjoyed about security breach were the content not cut, is that the player wouldn't have a reason to believe Gregory about Vanessa. Not fully. He never explains why we shouldn't trust her, and its very likely that there was supposed to be a bit where she "turns into" vanny, which would reveal her as a threat to the player; Beforehand, it just seemed like she was trying to genuinely help us out of the pizzaplex. It makes her go from someone we can possibly trust (even if gregory doesnt) to an explicit threat. I think trying to achieve that in some way again would be cool.
We could still keep the thread that Gregory is homeless, and he just snuck in during the day and stayed after hours to try and seek shelter-And what kid wouldn't want to stay at a fucking amusement park overnight? Naturally, he would want out once the animatronics start being aggressive with him, but I think we can take another route with this too:
Start out with Vanessa being nice! She's clearly the only guard at the pizzaplex (for some reason? despite it being so massive). She offers to help, to not only get Gregory out of the pizzaplex because he shouldnt be there, but because she finds out he's homeless and he needs a place to stay. Lure the player into a false sense of security. She brings him to a back office where she says he can stay while she gets things sorted, then comes back to kill him wearing her funny little rabbit suit. Before she does, maybe she cuts the power, so none of the security cameras capture what happened. (maybe in the vanny hideout that already exists in security breach?) Once she tries, though (or maybe once he smells the decay of other dead children in the room) Gregory manages to escape through a vent, and from there it would be a game of cat and mouse as she chases him around the pizzaplex. in the dark.
Having glamrock freddy be this all-protective saint wouldnt really mesh well with this, but I do think him being on our side could be incorporated. No stomach hatch mechanic, first off, and if it ever is included, it needs to be nervewracking and evoke the same sort of feeling as the minireena springlock night in sister location. As for why glamfred doesnt just try to gank him like the other animatronics do, we could say he never entered the proper night mode like the other glamrocks did because of his mishap earlier sort of resetting his shit. I still dont want him, or any of them, to be sentient, so at most any intelligent responses could be chalked up to AI. That way, we could have some offputting, not-quite-human, inconvenient interactions with him that (at most) are a response to something gregory does or says. We could keep an element of humor that FNAF has always had that way, too.
As for why glamfred would be trying to PROTECT Gregory, we could go back to what fnaf 2 was doing with its facial recognition system: they help protect kids. if a child tells him that hes in danger, he will try to help that child. all that being said, i would want to bring the shattered freddy story beat back where the other glamrocks rip him the fuck apart and turn him into a threat like halfway through the game. Instead of him being literally destroyed (since again. vanny would have commanded them to do that and it doesnt make sense if shes the killer and theres no afton) it could be that vanny got him working in his proper night mode and so now hes in the "find child and return it to the proper authorities" mindset like everyone else is. make the player feel hopeless. and so on
im going um. way off the rails here. and im gonna continue. but i dont think the animatronics should be possessed yet for the sake of motivations and trying to keep them as lifeless as possible. I mentioned it earlier, but I think it would be good if she hasnt stuffed the kids into the glamrocks yet because she hasn't killed enough, and is keeping their bodies in her little hideout--Gregory would be the final piece of her puzzle before she can enact her plan how she wants to.
Alongside the pizzaplex being In The Fucking Dark Now, I always thought having Vanny be visible around corners and on railings due to her eyes and then vanishing once you see her would be neat. Always being watched, sorta like a g-man situation. The type of killer who likes to toy with her prey, which would eventually lead to Gregory actually escaping, her becoming a suspect, and then managing to get away at the last second and continue her antics in true afton copycat fashion.
i have more to say but im going to stop myself and summarize:
canonicity of help wanted would be done for
vanny/vanessa is obsessed with william afton and the murders
decides to emulate his crimes
pizzaplex exists due to the entrepreneur thing henry set up in FFPS
she gets a job there
gregory is there because hes seeking shelter as a homeless kid
she lures him into a false sense of security but he realizes whats going on before it happens and escapes
glamrocks have a night mode which makes them try to locate kids and return them to the nightguard so they dont camp out overnight (because lets be real, more than one person has tried to do this for their youtube channel)
glamrock freddy is kind of useless and gets turned against the player either about halfway or a third of the way thru the game
becomes a game of trying to wait it out til 6 am evading various threats
i do want to fully rewrite security breach one day for my copycat killer au (CCKAU), but heres something to chew on for now
#cckau#five nights at freddys#fnaf#fnaf sb#security breach#vanny fnaf#^ fuck you this is getting maintagged#long post? kinda

Do you think you could explain the backstories & lore of Maria Russoff + Lilia Calderu? I’ve tried their wiki pages but the more I read the less it made sense 😵💫
I really don't know where the confusion is coming from. The wiki articles are pretty straightforward, and each of these characters only has three appearances, including one appearance together-- so that's five issues total. You could probably spend... I don't know, an hour or so reading, and you would know everything there is to know about Lilia Calderu and Maria Russoff. And, forgive me if you already know about this, but I'm starting to get the sense that people don't realize how many websites there are where you can read comics online, for free. It might take a little extra digging to find older titles, but they're out there. Get a decent ad blocker for your web browser, and you're good to go.
Having said that-- Maria and Lilia are both minor characters who mostly exist in the margins of other people's stories, so if you're not familiar with subjects like Baron Mordo, the Book of Cagliostro, or Werewolf-by-Night, you might feel like you're missing some context. I would encourage you to read up on those topics, if you haven't already.
Lilia Calderu is part of an extended family of Romani characters who are descended from a sorcerer named Cagliostro.* Lilia and her foremothers, as the self-proclaimed "witch queens of the gypsies" have safeguarded a magical tome called the Book of Cagliostro for generations, and at one point, Lilia briefly possessed the Serpent Crown of Set. Her family also has close ties to Doctor Strange's longtime enemy, Baron Mordo. As I've said before, they mostly exist as racist set-dressing for Mordo's backstory, and there is an unfortunate-- and weirdly convoluted-- bit of intergenerational incest going on there as well. Mordo eventually seduced Lilia and stole the Book of Cagliostro from her. She attempted to get revenge on him by manipulating Doctor Strange, but later sacrificed herself to save Stephen's life. That's all you really need to know-- she's dead, and she never got to have much substance, so if they ever do bring her back, any development she gets will probably be original material.
Maria Russoff is the grandmother of Jack Russell, the original Werewolf-by-Night. Her husband, Gregor Russoff, was a baron from Transia and, in addition to being a practicing warlock with ties to Chthon and the Darkhold, was afflicted with lycanthropy, which was passed down to his son, Gregory, and grandson, Jack. After Gregory became a werewolf, Maria was cast out of her village and was taken in by a local Romani community, with whom she apparently spent the rest of her life. At some point, Maria became an adept sorceress and used her magical abilities to seek avenge the deaths of her Roma friends who had been killed by racists. This quest led Maria, now an elderly woman, to cross paths with her grandson Jack and his ally Topaz, and Maria died saving Jack's life. Noticing a pattern?
Lilia and Maria appear alongside Margali Szardos in Mystic Arcana: Scarlet Witch. This story is set during Wanda's early childhood in Transia, which is fine for Wanda, but the timeline for each of the other women is unclear. I don't want to say it's completely contradictory, but it's a little hard to make sense of. Here, the three of them have formed a coven based out of Maria and Gregor's estate, Castle Russoff. Lilia is still in possession of both the Book of Cagliostro and the Serpent Crown. Having foreseen Wanda's potential to become a powerful witch, they seek to bring her into their fold, which doesn't work out well for any of them. Lilia loses possession of the Crown, and the group presumably goes their separate ways.
The occultist Cagliostro was a real person, born Giuseppe Balsamo in 18th century Sicily. He was well-traveled, and cultivated a serious reputation as powerful magician, but is remembered posthumously as something of a charlatan. Regardless, he left a lasting impact on popular culture and is often referenced in media.
The Marvel character Cagliostro is depicted as in immortal sorcerer who was born thousands of years ago and is apparently Indian in origin, which might lend some context to his involvement with Romani characters. It should go without saying that most depictions of Cagliostro and the Calderu family are pretty offensive.
