#hetch was going to cut his

[saviorpilled]

currently thinking abt hetch niki and ranboo (in that order) sitting in a row and niki using hetchs hair to teach ranboo how to braid

[ozzybutweirdthistime]

i love how the whole rewriting + new voiceover of hetch’s lines completely change his character as a whole in the founders cut

original hetch was more chill and i think did a better job of hiding the fact that he was actually going to betray ranboo, but founders cut hetch played more into the theatrics of his villainy

original hetch is scary because he knows the power he has over the cast, yet he uses it to hide behind a mask of camaraderie. new hetch is scary because he knows the power he has over the cast, and he uses it to instill fear into them for a better show

[saltedcaramelchaos]

My friend had an insane idea for a twist on the default “Charlie escapes by himself after Ranboo does” genloss au because of the glasses thing, and I needed to share it

*ahem*

IMAGINE IF THERE WAS THE AVERAGE “Ranboo got out au” BUT WE FOLLOW CHARLIE BECAUSE SHOWFALL CAN BRING HIM BACK AND HE’S LIVE-STREAMED THE WHOLE TIME AND HETCH IS HELPING HIM BECAUSE HE DOESN’T KNOW HETCH IS EVIL AND HETCH TELLS HIM THAT RAN IS THE KEY TO TAKING DOWN SHOWFALL MEDIA BECAUSE of some lie Hetch makes up like there’s a shutdown key in his mask or Charlie can safely get rid of Ran’s mask because of something Hetch left out for him on a desk or something AND SO THE LIVESTREAM IS CHARLIE TRACKING DOWN RAN BECAUSE Hetch has a tracker in his mask (this is lowercase because Hetch is LAME) AND CHARLIE GETS TO RAN IN THE END WITH SOME VOTES FROM THE AUDIENCE ALONG THE WAY, BUT FINALLY AT THE END, WHATEVER HETCH GIVES CHARLIE TO HELP RANBOO LIKE A USB OR SOMETHING, CHARLIE TELLS RAN THAT IT CAN REMOVE THE MASK SAFELY AND WHILE RAN IS CELEBRATING THAT CHARLIE’S ALIVE, THEY’RE ASKING HOW, AND HOW WILL THE USB HELP, AND WHILE CHARLIE SAYS, IT WAS HETCH, HE HELPED ME, RANBOO’S RESPONSE IS CUT OFF AS HE FALLS TO THE GROUND AND CHARLIE IS FREAKING OUT and why is this still shouting, and Charlie is panicking and Ran gets up and that USB jump started, so to speak, Showfall Control, and then

Ran gets up, a little too perfectly fine

They ask Charlie to see his glasses real quick

Charlie starts to take them off, but Ran’s just like, no, keep them on

Charlie’s asking why, and did the usb work, and-

*click*

Charlie’s on the ground now

Charlie gets up a little too fine

The camera has fallen off his glasses now

Angled at the two

Angled at the big mall

Angled at them going back.

Sorry for all the caps, but that’s such a cool idea I’m-

[atreefox]

Lmao, this is a really long tangent jusy about my current thoughts and “theories” on Genloss cause OML I had a neuron activation when I saw T_3

Okay okay BUT GENLOSS IS SO BACK OMLLL ITS SO BACK DUDE DUDE

IMA RETYPE MY “THEORY” (or JUSY THE THOUGHTS I HAVE).

So so

First thing that’s noticed me was the noises preceding the door scene in the newest video (T_3). They were physical noises, and what I mean is that it’s happening in real time, it physically happened so clearly there is something on the physical plane that went on. Maybe it’s this person breaking into a room, and this door symbolizes (either metaphorically or physically) represents a barrier they have to get past. There’s something important behind that door! It hasn’t been opened, cause this is the second time it’s seen. And no room or animation or anytning has been shown to symbolize that door opening.

That’s the first one, this door, I feel like, represents a barrier that this person has to get past in order to achieve their end goal.

Now secondly, the person. This secret person that’s somehow managed to break through any barriers or censorship Showfall could have placed up to prevent any of the truth getting out.

Now I feel like this person can be trust worthy, and here’s why (though it’s up for debate! I’d love to hear more about this 😭😭 OML ITS SO INTERESTING)

When I first watched generation one, Hetch seemed a little… weird… the way he was so dismissive of Genloss!Ranboo (ofc the environment at the time, or the perceived/fake environment🤨🤨, made it so Hetch couldn’t fully explain the situation at hand), all throughout the episodes always ticked me as odd. Especially in episode three.

The way Hetch was so dismissive of Ranboo’s concerns and questions, very valid questions too! Struck me as odd. He was so set on his end goal on trying to finish the show, to make it good (was that is end goal? I’m still tryna figure it out😅, something like it!) that it felt like his concern was fake (which it was). It all felt very uncanny. Even Ran said that Hetch’s lines in the founders cut were redone to make him sound uncanny!!!!

Yet this person in T_3 is different. They seem to be more human.

And okay o feel like there’s a difference in Showfall’s performance of, well, acting human and actually and being human. Showfall desensitized its characters and forced them in character tropes, made them feel like their 2D. Such as in the carasoul of death and the streamers shown in episode three. These people are forced into character tropes and they seem inhuman, just 2D characters for the thrill of the show.

Yet with Jay and Zero and this person, they all seem human because, at this moment, they aren’t forced into a role. They aren’t necessarily being controlled.

This person has similar goals to Hetch. They wanna reach their end goal by stopping a connection (shown in timestamp 1:16, the blotted out text possibly reads “There is something coming, the connection has gotten stronger”) because they themselves seemed to have been affected by it.

Yet the difference is that, unlike Hetch who was more or so “aggressive” (not angry but antsy to hurry on) in trying to reach his goal, Hetch seemed to know EVERYTBING about the facility. The ins and outs of the absconded mall and was able to control the camera man and employees, EVERYTBING was basically under his control.

YET THIS PERSON ISNT LIKE THAT! They don’t even seem to have full control or technology to reach their goal. They seemed unsure, yet certain, throughout the entire video. They seemed concerned and didn’t rush anything. They felt genuinely human. Which is what I love about this fucking horror project.

Maybe the person is Jay.. a reach, but Jay seemed close to Zero, or Miss Roads🤨🤨, so maybe Jay somehow figured out what’s going on and wants to stop whatever this connection is.

And that brings into question, what is this connection?? Did it already happen (such as GL!Ranboo being in his own dimension (a theory, but one I believe) and yet showfall somehow connected to us on earth), or is it going to happen…? Why is this specific video, one that’s clearly opposing Showfall’s goal, posted on a channel where it seems to promote showfall. Is this channel a point of. Neutrality, showing any and all sides, or is showfall also controlling it. Mostly likely controlling it, but Jesus Christ I want to know so much about this world. DUDE.

Okay, rant over. But Jesus I can’t wait for more😭😭 no rush ofc, I’m just so excited about this!!!

Edit: but rewatching “welcome to generation zero” and what if Zero is the founder! It’s a long stretch, but just a random thought-. Also the wormhole/portal is going backwards possibly indicating that gen one happened and now a new story is being shown.

[showf4ll]

RUNS AROUND YOU OOOOOOHHHH WE WANNA HEAR ABOUT YOUR ESCAPE AU…… HOW DO THEY BOTH ESCAPE

I overdid this JUST a bit!!

The plot in-between is already planned. I’m going to make little mini comics and one off drawing (in the vhs style like the others under the au tag) to show it off!!

Image text;

“Hetch ripped off Ranboo’s mask so Showfall couldn’t control him. Hetch returned to the facility.

Ran spent months planning way after way to try to free Hetch (also cuts his hair

More time passes but, eventually, Hetch makes it out too”

Additional info;

“Lots of plot inbetween!… Secret for now.

Ran started wearing hoodies after escaping���

[fridgrave]

hetch is a savior because he released ranboo from his endless suffering in sfm by killing him

sneeg is taken because he was captured and as a show character in tse1, and as a real person in tse2

so... is charlie really a villain besides his demon-host role?

to be honest i really doubt he had such amount of time in this social experiment just to die right before the "end". he was intentionally made as a character who would make ranboo get back for him and loose their chance to escape

and we actually never seen him die from wire monster, but as we saw before and after that it wasn't a problem for SFM to show dead people. we saw a huge cut on hetch, a dead employee and, of course, ranboo's brutal death, but they didn't showed charlie even bleed. and that's fucking sus. instead of that we heard him fuse with the wire monster and lead ranboo to the trap he couldn't actually know about because he supposedly never knew that even cabin was a set, but HE KNEW THERE IS A BUTTON BEHIND THIS SET WHAT WOULD "HELP" RANBOO

my theory is that showfall knew ranboo has a chance to escape, so they wrote a character that ranboo will care enough to go back for. a character who would be a wolf in sheep's clothing, whos sign says "lies" with blood, who s being near ranboo all the time to make sure sfm won't lost him in the mall. a character who will lead ranboo in the right, scripted direction, who will make them believe they are not alone

a friend who is actually a villain

[a-very-angry-crow]

I don't know if I'm stupid and just didn't realise but I haven't seen a post on it both from the beginning and now, but on the fridge, some of the letters spell LURE.

LURE: tempt (a person or an animal) to do something to do something or go somewhere, especially by offering some form of reward

Or

LURE: something that tempts or is used to tempt a person or animal to do something

We all know that the third stream was planned but it confirmed it in the first stream. Ranboo will be lured. He was lured all 3rd stream straight to his death. Hetch lured Ranboo in with the chance to save his friends, and yet when Ranboo did. They were then locked in. He then lured him to the button saying they can escape without him, bringing him to the exact room he needed to be in for the final scene to begin.

So who put the fridge magnets like that?

It's gotta be Ranboo, Charlie or Sneeg after breaking out of the mind control at some point, realising what's going on and trying to warn the future self, just like BEHIND YOU. But because of the founders cut, it could have more likely been Charlie because it shows his screams of realisation on Jermas dollhouse, telling everyone to run and get out at some point in one of the time loops. He was warning them then, whatever loop it was, so maybe he tried to write it to remember after he got re-controled.

Ooooooor maybe I'm just pulling this out my ass from randomly placed letters that also spells SUS but oh well! I'm just a simple artist with a smooth brain who can only think about this silly little thing

[glsneeg-enthusiast]

update 11/21

actual serious pinned because some people dont Understand the other one apparently. i talk about serious things and that does include gore and essentially anything that would need a tw. huge gore draw-er also. serious things basically. most if not all portrayal of mental illnesses is based on my own experiences so do not come here saying you dont like how i show it. that being said my blog is not all entirely about that and its mostly silly and or shitposts actually. also i actually dont usually tw things uhmm. were playing roulette here. basically if you get triggered by anything i wouldnt recommend being here its always a 50/50 on if i post something silly or traumatic. dont vent in my inbox unprompted i do not fucking care i will not respond and you will only make me uncomfortable. dont be weirdly sexual at me!! i am a minor!!! i dont fucking care nor want to hear about your sex life or about your fantasies or your private areas!!!!!!! dont shove weird relationship statuses onto me either. i am not your family i am a stranger on the internet

i am pro endo and i have endo friends so if you dont like that its ultimately up to you if you wanna be here or not. most htfasj fans have me blocked but if you are one and you dont ur on thin ice bro. im not forgiving any of you for fucking jumping me for saying i wasnt a fan of it. also please for the love of god if you ship glsneeg with any of the other characters do Not talk to me about it because there is a good chance i will throw up in my mouth and block you. glanboo/hetch shippers on thin ice. guy who came up with that kind of ruined it for me and now it just makes me feel uncomfortable most of the time

i have autism and im gay and i use faggot. i have some other problems that will fuck me up or that ill talk about sometimes but thats all you really need to know so im not going to dox my medical problems here

less important stuff under cut heart emoji

nearly everyone i interact with calls me sneegen. idc if new people do its basically my government name atp

this blog is genloss themed but also i talk about my genloss ocs more than the actual thing now ���� still a huge genloss fan but sneeg and frank are the only guys ill ever talk about in there and i will throw up slash negative if i have to talk about glanboo. do NOT come here asking about glanboo unless ur a mutual im serious. i take sneeg/frank and the horror that comes with it so violently seriously and overall theres a few genloss ships i like so if ur one of those guys that think any shipping is weird you probably wont like it here. also i usually dont use any of the main tags for. anything i post. if you wanna find something youre stuck to manually searching just like everyone else sorry

kind of multifandom i guess. i have moments where i get really fixated on other media and i post about it for a bit. sneegsnag is usually a common factor in this. heavily into marble hornets creepypastas tmnt dantdm jacksepticeye and markiplier. both of their ego content and any of marks projects by extension. not into ethan nestor As Much but he is included and so is blankgameplays. i like qsmp but if i talk about it its only ever abt qsneeg or qcharlie or qdantdm and his family sometimes. osmp enjoyer but again ill only talk about sneeg if i talk about it at all

you are allowed to draw and write and make hcs and aus for my guys i actually actively encourage it and also show me when you do i think its wonderful. ill talk about them forever if you ever wanna know something just ask and theres a 85% chance ill actually answer it

the only things im 100% serious about for my ocs is that theres canon ships for a reason. i do not give a FUCK if you think a different one is better or interesting because its not. if you come into my asks shipping anything that isnt canon im actually going to block you. im very nitpicky about this because they are My creations and every single thing about them is heavily important to me. also if you baby or demonize any of my ocs im allowed to kill you legally btw.

I DONT GIVE A DAMN IF YOU WANT MY OCS CARNALLY!!! there are certain times where i wont mind if you say stuff like that about them just DONT TELL ME ALL THE TIME!!! it is funny sometimes and sometimes i may encourage it but please god dont tell me how you want to fuck them in graphic detail unprompted. also if thats the only thing you talk to me about and you dont actually bother to know them as characters i will probably block you!!!!

if you want my ocs included in your oc lore please just. Talk To Me. about it. please. if youre normal and dont violently misinterpret my ocs ill probably be okay with it just TALK TO ME ABOUT IT

heavy encouragement to use all your braincells to interpret my ocs characters properly. idk how much more mischaracterizing in my inbox i can take

[mystrylvr]

saying this on this app to avoid getting dog piled as badly:

GENLOSS SPOILERS

i think hetch represented dream in a way. if you think about how hetch has a god like position over every action in the show and over his characters then faked his death when something didn’t go his way, i think that heavily translates to how dream chose which people joined his server (the way hetch chose ranboo for the hero role) and specifically chose ranboo to join when he saw they were getting really popular really quickly on tiktok but also how dream pretends to be the victim when something doesn’t go his way as well.

not to mention that when ranboo wanted out of the show he was killed off, kinda seems like what dream stans say every time they mindlessly defend dream how they fell off after dsmp. it was literally proven this week when ranboo unfollowed dream and when the video with jack manifold came out. the first response is always “he made your career” or “you fell off after the server anyway” which literally proves his point that if you no longer want to be associated with someone or something a lot of your audience no longer respects you or “crucifies” you for cutting ties.

assuming the content creator theory is true and everyone is just playing a version of themselves, i don’t see how this could represent anyone else. Ranboo actually had genius writing for gen loss and executed everything perfectly.

[cornyflow3r]

in episode three of genloss, retrospectively it’s really clear that the show continues even as ranboo was released into the mall. even hetch suggests so by saying ranboo won’t be attacked by the showfall employees because he’s programmed them to consider him ‘part of the show’ - a show that’s ongoing.

one way in which this bridging of performance and reality is really cleverly shown is through the music. up until now, it’s safe to assume the soundtrack was non-diegetic meaning the characters couldn’t hear it. contrastingly, in the mall the music sounds like it’s being played over speakers like elevator music and so ranboo can probably hear it: the soundtrack becomes diegetic. this both implies ranboo is becoming more aware of their role in showfall’s media and that this media is not finished with them - the show must go on. it’s a really good and chilling way of portraying his state of semi-awareness. even as he walks around, ostensibly free, and sees the sets and props, the buzzing background music pervades the whole mall and turns it into a new stage.

they only truly break free when they break from the script - from the ‘expected’ behaviour that hetch promised would keep them safe from the security. this might just be a quirk of the sound design but the music even cuts out for a few seconds after ranboo makes his choice with the codes. like an immune system, the mall then begins to treat him as a foreign body which only highlights how assimilated he was before when he was doing what hetch told him and sticking to his role.

unfortunately, in the grand scheme of things, this only buys ranboo time. hetch swoops back into the part of mentor and ranboo buys into the fantasy again, following his ‘instruction’ and becoming his puppet once more. charlie tries to warn them ‘are you even you right now, is this what you want?’ but they don’t listen, they can barely hear him over the music, which is non-diegetic again - we’re fully immersed back into the performance. the grand crescendo of the button press, in which another person must be sacrificed, is the same song and dance ranboo has been following the entire time. 

this fact becomes painfully clear when the real finale occurs and hetch essentially asks the audience if they want an encore.

[sslimeciclee]

OOC Post under the cut!

I have to fucking ramble about my AU. I did kinda swap some ages around. I'm only gonna talk about the RGB trio. Charlie is 17, almost 18. Sneeg is 18. Ranboo is 19 almost 20. So Charlie is the youngest. Charlie was kidnapped when he was about 3-4 years old, and Sneeg was taken at about 7 years old. Oh, Ranboo was taken at 19, so about a week before Genloss happens. At first Showfall didn't bother controlling Sneeg and Charlie, because they were young, naive, and listened very very well. Until they became teens, which Showfall put control devices on them. It didn't work very well on Charlie at first, so they kept adding more and more wires and shit to his glasses until it did. Charlie and Sneeg only got a kindergarten level education, so they read, and do math to a certain extent. But not very well. Eventually Hetch started doing the experiments, Frank was first. Then he got put in the cabin basement cage.. Then it was Jerma, who they turned into the puzzler, then Austin, then Ethan, then Vinny, then Niki. Finally they made Charlie and Sneeg do it, together. At first the cabin was just an escape room, but they changed it after seeing how Charlie and Sneeg went through it. Showfall controlled them to an extent, but Charlie choose to try and scare Sneeg throughout the whole thing.. Giving Showfall the idea to make him a slime demon. They surgically attached horns to his head, a tail to his spine, and injected something into him to make his blood more slime like. They wiped Sneegs and Charlie's memories of the first time going through, and sent them through again, as a test. Just to see how they liked demon Charlie. But when Sneeg flat out denied a cooking challenge Charlie tried making him do, Sneeg got thrown into the cage with Frank, who was still alive. Showfall liked how Charlie behaved, so they kept him that way. Months later, Ranboo comes through. And you all know what happens..

This is probably an incoherent mess, but I am also sleep deprived and hungry soo.. Yeah :3

[roachyboi]

Fanfic idea for Generation Loss!

This takes place after episode three after an undisclosed amount of time. The setting is a stage that has two seats with a table in-between them. The table has a vase of red roses but their covered and dripping with slime, slime is also all around the stage and staining the chairs. A cup filled with slime is on the table and the other cup will always be empty other then a spider that has taken up residence in the cup. The background of the stage is a big window that only shows the slime dimension.

(Trigger warning for slight gore at the end!)

The host of the “after show” is Slime Demon Charlie and he interviews everyone about their time on the show, like an actual show host would. It’s kind of like how in Big Brother they show clips of stuff that happened and talk about it. It’s basically that.

He will never get up to shake their hand because he’ll get stuck to their hands and also he’s stuck to the chair.

Every single character gets their own time to talk to Demon Charlie, and I mean everyone (minus the SnowFall employees). The rats, Frank, Hetch, the Puzzler and even Charlie’s goons get their small moment to shine and be able to answer questions. I imagine that the rats and goons would share an interview as Valkyrie was the only person that actually spoke.

The interviews go well but the viewers never see the characters walk out to the stage and take a seat, in fact they move so little. Every time an interview ends it cuts to an obscure commercial for something that doesn’t exist or is just weird and useless. But other then that the interviews go seemingly well. The characters try not to be out off by Charlie’s slime and just smile and nod at his smile jokes to keep him happy. They talk about the show, things they did and life in general. Very casual for people who were just tortured, but there’s always something wrong with it.

Austin keeps insisting he has a wife and kids, Niki keeps insisting that she’s nice, Sneeg is kind of a dick and gets asked about the suspected relationship between him and Frank, Ethan talks about his fish a lot, The Puzzler talks about how disappointed he is that he couldn’t party with the four who dressed up, Vinny asks if Charlie has ever lost a sock that he may have, and Hetch talks about how he’s glad his acting was convincing enough to trick Ranboo into trusting him.

Frank’s interview is very quiet and Charlie seems to be hearing the best gossip from him. There’s even a moment where Charlie gets to interview his other personalities but it’s through an obviously pre-recorded screen as they keep talking over each other and sometimes the answers don’t match the questions.

The very last person that comes on the stage is (surprise!) Ranboo. Just like everyone else he is very relaxed and apathetic, just joking around and seemingly looking fondly back at the memories, making a comment that they wished they had dressed up a little more when they all had mistaken one of the puzzles as a dress up puzzle.

And then something glitches, the company’s filter gets lifted for a few seconds and it’s revealed that the entire time Charlie has just been a bloody rag, all the alike around the room is blood. The slime dimension window was actually a false window and behind it there was a lot of blood stains and bloodied tools.

The worst part of it all is that Ranboo is a corpse. It’s his corpse with the box still on his head and everything, covered in dried blood and it’s obvious that the body has been left to lay out for a few days.

It’s revealed the entire time, using the filter, everyone’s corpses have been limp on the couch during their ‘interviews’ being held up and positioned by metal rods stabbed through their limbs. Everything was fake. They’re being useful for the last time to squeeze a little more content out of them.

[ranboo5]

I actually don't know if I have it in me to make a real good post but I liked Founder's Cut soooo much. My two biggest gripes with the show played a lot better both on second watch and bc of how it was recut – the much tighter cutting maintained my investment better and kept up my suspension of disbelief so a lot of the cheese on both the wire monster and, importantly, Hetch (whose execution I haaaated on stream) just dissolved and I was much more able 2 accept them both. Nothing can save the ending monologue for me, but Hetch's acting and writing was so much better and more effective this go-round – it's just the little things abt how it's all delivered making him no longer exhausting to watch and often compelling. Some of his lines were still overwritten (ESPECIALLY, again, the ending stuff, which while also more convincing I still hate), but nothing like how I felt watching streams

The overwriting is the same problem as the new cut ins on FACTORY RESET and the new hat bit – I don't like it when GenLoss explains itself so directly yk? Hetch being blatant in ways like so blatantly fucking lying to Ranboo is one thing but when he's straight up repeating for the like 10th time that you'll beeeee in my eeevil gameshow for eeeeeeveer just doesn't work. Same goes for when Sneeg escapes and gets masked vs when he gets hatted and we are excruciatingly shown his thought process. I don't know why we get this and also 5 minutes of Mousetrap who asked for 5 minutes of Mousetrap sorry

But that is kind of the only flops, which are slightly disappointing at best, of a product that is generally better in every way. With intention applied to it and the restrictions of livestream removed it's so much better to watch – the cutting both w/ snipping out VOD Stalling and w/ the new camera angles for proper cinematic tension does so goddamn much to keep the energy and investment and it's insane it is SO GENUINELY the little things. Like alleviating the dead air and cheese is one thing but the way it elevates things I already thought were good is SO crazy so many things I thought were like Just OK in the streams had me actually scream laughing or "you're SO FUCKED" adoring in the cut. Ranboo's character comes out sm more, every single joke lands better, action doesn't feel like "oh finally) I don't think much anything is really lost and so so much is gained

Squiggles direction change did throw me a little though. I miss Squiggles and I kind of still wish that the ending monologue was replaced with a good Squiggles segment... but I did adore the animations they were so fucking cute

More thoughts later but like I liked it. I was worried it wouldn't be worth it but it so is LITERALLY I SHOULD NEVER HAVE DOUBTED RANBOOLIVE CREATIVE POWER GIVE THIS GAL 10 BILLION DOLLARS AND THE SAW SFX TEAM

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

@totally-average-kid @egganonman @dvdanon @themalewifeanon @berry-nonnie @thatoneblue-anon @thatstaroneanon @sparkleonanon @booitsbeloved @bookstackanon

This was such a joy to write, thank you guys so so so much! This was very fun and I'd love to do something like this again. Valentine's Day special under the cut!

This Valentine’s day was going to be an odd one this year.

For starters, there was still a poll going on. A pretty important poll with roughly one hundred votes already, but probable death for Hetch wasn’t going to stop the Anons from having a fun day.

Chair was planning to bake a cake for their friends.

There were only three problems Chair had with baking a cake.

Problem one: she could only remember two ingredients which were eggs and sugar. Problem two: they had no idea how to bake a cake.

Problem two wasn’t an issue on the most part because she had plenty of friends around to help.

This brings up problem three: those of the other entities in the Void who knew how to bake a cake typically had very skewed perceptions on cake recipes.

Oh well. Eldritch cake was better than no cake.

Chair made a messy sign asking for help baking a cake, taped it to the front side of a table and sat.

Thankfully she didn’t have to wait long.

“HEYO!” He yelled as they appeared. “Cake time! Mind handing me the powder?”

“The powder?” Chair asked. She assumed !! meant the baking soda and handed the box over to them.

“Thank you.” !! opened the box and poured it into a large bowl. “So! First we need some water, oil, eggs, and another egg…”

Chair paused as !! hesitated, probably trying to remember the next ingredient. He started to float as they thought. “How about another egg!”

Chair added the water, oil and three eggs into the bowl with the baking soda. They looked at !! for more instructions.

“Now, make sure that your hand is still tangible while making it! BUT,” !! suddenly yelled, “if some stuff isn’t mixed in correctly, then you’re going to have to… to…” !! snapped his fingers as he tried to remember the word they wanted to say. “Turn down the opacity on your hand.”

Chair stared at !!. Slowly, they looked down at her hand and willed it to have a lower opacity.

Nothing happened.

“And now,” !! continued, “the mixer! You have to speak with a firm voice or it won’t respect you!”

Chair watched !! in amazement as he began yelling at the cake mixture.

Egg wandered past Chair’s sign, paused, read the sign, then ran up to Chair.

“Oh, wait wait wait!” Egg said, “I know this! I read a bunch of cookbooks when I was alive!”

Chair moved the first bowl of cake mix over to the far end of the table so it wouldn't get in the way. !! moved with it, still continuing to yell at the batter.

“I’ll put that bowl in the oven when they’re done,” Chair told Egg.

“So! You take sugar and- like a packet of sugar,” Egg clarified, “but you take a spoon and you get a good amount. Like say, maybe around however much feels right, it’s your cake. 

Get milk, like a cup of it? And two eggs- I don’t count as one of those by the way. Just so you know. Don’t cook me.”

“I won’t,” Chair assured her.

Chair took a sugar packet, opened it and poured the contents into a new bowl. She then took milk, measured it out in a plastic cup they found and poured into the bowl with the sugar. Finally she popped two whole eggs into the bowl.

“Also flower and butter,” Egg mused, “but you can get however much of that you want, it’s not really a law. Now, what you have to do is mix ‘em all together, and heat it up, simple!”

“How long do I heat it up for?” Chair asked as they added the final ingredients. Three sticks of butter and a handful of flour went into the bowl.

“You cook it for- until it gets brown? And solid. Make sure it’s not a liquid anymore, very vitally important.” Egg started to walk away. “Then wait for it to cool down and eat it.”

“Thank you,” Chair called after their friend. They mixed the contents of the bowl with her wooden hands and popped it into the nearby oven. She turned back to !!, who was still yelling at his bowl of cake mix. “Are you okay?”

!! nodded, not breaking their yelling streak.

Dvd mrrowed as it hopped up onto the table.

“Hi, Dvd,” Chair greeted, brushing their messy hands against her pants to clean them off. “Do you have cake advice, too?”

“Ok,” Dvd started. “What you want to do is meow at your human for so long. And make sure it’s irritating. They may check your food and litter tray, but after a while they will be like ‘what the fuck do you want’ and you show them the cake mix. After that, wait ‘till everything is cooling. If it’s cupcakes, take one bite from as many as you can.”

Chair nodded as they watched Dvd trot away. “Thanks for the, uh. Good cat advice!”

They turned around and yelped in surprise when they saw Valentine standing ominously behind her.

“You,” he said. They grabbed Chair’s arms and pulled her closer to their height. “You measure everything by vibes alone. And then pour in a fuckton of heart sprinkles.”

Valentine only let go when Chair nodded. “...Oh, can the frosting be pink?”

“Uh, y-yeah. Will do, uh, Vale. I’ll get on that now.”

Chair nervously waved goodbye to the Malewife anon before going to do as he instructed.

She ‘measured with her heart’. Two handfuls of sugar, a fistful of baking soda, three eggs, and two sticks of butter went into a bowl and were mixed. A second oven appeared and Chair slid the bowl in. They placed pink frosting containers (there were three in total) on top of the oven so she wouldn’t forget when it was time to frost it.

“Are you okay still?” Chair asked !!. They received no answer.

“OH!” Berry said as it noticed Chair’s sign. “You’re going to bake a cake?! Yippee! I love baking! Uh- are they okay?”

“They’ve been doing that for the past thirty minutes. I think he’ll be okay.”

“Okay,” Berry nodded. “Um, so first thing is the wet and dry ingredients don’t get mixed at the same time. Actually, I don’t think that matters all that much, it just sounds silly. I mean, they go into the same pan anyway.”

“That’s good. I’ve been putting them in the same bowl the entire time.”

“Wait, what kind of cake are we talking about?” Berry asked. “It’s Valentine’s day, so I think red velvet is the obvious choice but that’s basically just chocolate cake with a load of red food color in it. Are you allergic to red dyes?”

Chair shrugged. “I hope not.”

“Okay, so we need flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, butter, eggs, vanilla, milk and baking soda. Am I missing anything? Hmm… oh yeah! Vegetable oil and the red food coloring.”

Chair scrambled to grab all the ingredients. Were cakes supposed to be this complicated? Oh, man, their other cakes didn’t have all of these ingredients in them.

“We should have everything now, I’m pretty sure,” Berry said once all the ingredients were on the table. “Just make sure the butter is room temp. The oven needs to be preheated while we’re mixing everything together, I’m pretty sure it just needs to be three-hundred sixty degrees fahrenheit. Get a bowl big enough to mix everything in.”

Chair rushed to preheat the third oven that appeared. Preheat the oven? Why would she need to preheat the oven?? Why was baking a cake so difficult???

“Okay,” Berry continued, “into the bowl goes the dry ingredients first. How much did we need again? One sec, I need to think about it. It’s been a while since I’ve baked a cake.”

As Berry thought, Chair whispered to !! “Do you need to breathe?”

!! shook their head.

"Um, I'm pretty sure it was 3 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa,” Berry said, grabbing measuring equipment. “Oh, I always forget how much baking soda is needed. Or was it baking powder? What's even the difference?”

“You okay?” asked Chair.

“Huh? Sorry, um, I think like 1/4 a teaspoon of salt and 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda?? Yeah, and then you mix it all together. Now 1/2 a cup of butter, which is just a stick, and 4 eggs need to be mixed in too. Oh! And 1 cup of vegetable oil. Once all that is mixed together, we need to add in the cup of milk and the red dye. It needs to be mixed well, so no clumps or anything."

Chair followed Berry’s instructions as closely as they could and mixed the batter together with their hands again. Unfortunately the red dye stained her wood hands and refused to wash out. “What’s next?”

"That's it for the batter, I'm pretty sure. Just gotta pour it into a greased pan and bake it for... 30 minutesss, I think? Yeah, 30 minutes sounds right." Berry waved as it walked away. “Bye, let me know when the cake is ready!”

“I will. Thanks for the help, Berry!” Chair slid the bowl into the preheated oven. “I’m sure I didn’t forget any steps.”

“GREASED PAN,” !! yelled at Chair. They then continued to yell obscenities at the original bowl of cake mix.

Chair internally face palmed. “I forgot the freaking pan. Eh, whatever. ‘M sure it’s fine.”

“What’s fine?” Blue asked. “Oh a cake, that’s easy. You put some butter and sugar in a bowl and mix them until combined, then add- shit how many eggs?”

“I’ve put as many as three eggs in a cake at a time,” Chair answered. “But what do you think?”

“Well, I don't know. Like two eggs I think. And mix and add vanilla extract but just a little or any extract really you could make it a strawberry cake if you wanted- nah nevermind chocolate is better if anything. Um, so anyway a little vanilla extract and then you add flour and milk to make the mix look like cake mix, and then you put the mix in a cake mold that is either non-stick or has a fine layer of butter and flour to prevent sticking,” Blue rambled. “You put the mold in the oven for like half an hour in I'd say like 180 degrees Celsius which in Fahrenheit is... More than 180 degrees.

“Oh and don't forget to preheat the oven!! The cake bakes faster when the oven is already warm and not just recently turned on (the amount of times I've forgotten to preheat the oven speaks for itself). So, um, yeah. That's how you make a cake.”

Chair watched as Blue quickly walked away and began to follow their instructions. They put this cake in a GREASED PAN this time, then slid it into the fourth oven.

“Now we throw it in the oven!” !! said normally, startling Chair. “I like to add a little bit of ectoplasm if we have some on hand but if not then just toss it in there!” They smiled as he threw the bowl into a fifth oven at full force. “Just yell for me when the cake is ready!”

Chair stared at !! as they walked away, then stared at the fifth oven.

“I am a chair that owns five ovens,” Chair whispered to herself.

“Ok, so… a cake… can I do that?” Dizzy asked.

“Cake number six, go on ahead! You just missed !! yelling at the first cake we mixed an hour ago.”

Dizzy nodded. “So... I think you have to mix sugar, flour, eggs... What else is there in a cake...  baking powder? OH AND CHOCOLATE!!! THAT'S IMPORTANT I THINK! Uh... oh also you add milk I think?”

Chair gathered the next set of ingredients and added them all together in a bowl.

“Then you mix... all that stuff? And then you put it in the oven for... wait what type of cake are we making?”

Chair shrugged. “Cake.”

“Uh... ok. 50 minutes in the oven? Then you get it out and you eat it!!! I think. I didn’t bake a lot pre-tapes…”

“That’s okay! Thanks for the help, Dizzy.” Chair placed the sixth cake bowl in the sixth oven. They happened to glance over at the right time and saw Sparkle walking by. “Hey, Sparkle! Do you want to help me bake a cake for Valentine's day?”

"Oh god you're asking me???” Sparkle asked. “Uh- Shit it's been a while and I usually use a book? Right- Okay. You probably need flour? A bowl first might be useful. Flour in the bowl, right. Like a good handful or two of it.”

Chair tossed two handfuls of flour into a new bowl.

“And... What else does a cake need? Oil? Like cooking oil... Is that olive oil? Uh... Just put some oil in there. A good... Second pouring of oil. And milk? Maybe? Or is the liquid just oil? Well you definitely need eggs! I think both the white and the yolk? Maybe add a few of those. And... Mix it and heat it up? You should probably ask someone else actually-"

“No, no,” Chair said as she poured another bottle of vegetable oil in the bowl, “none of us remember correctly, so you’re okay!”

“Okay, well… thanks for baking cakes for us?” Sparkle left.

Mask told Chair to throw a few fistfuls of eggs and sugar into a bowl and hope for the best.

Bookstack gave Chair two recipes.

“To do it RIGHT you need flour, milk, eggs, sugar, water, oil, baking soda, and, like, vanilla extract?? ! think???? And you kinda mix everything and pour it into a pan and cook it at three hundred degrees fahrenheit for like an hour. And put some "frosting" that is just colored sugar and whipped cream.

“To do it wrong? Easy. Use crack instead of flour. Add some spaghetti/m&ms and you’re done.”

Once Chair was certain all the cakes were done (they made sure Egg’s cake was solid with no liquids) and decorated those that involved icing. Then they laid all the cakes out on her table in a row. She decided to replace their original sign with a new one that said ‘WARNING! Drugs in the Cake in the Center. Eat at Your Own Risk’

Eldritch cakes were better than no cake.

Yay founders cut time!! To avoid spoilery spam I'm just going to put my thoughts and things I really liked below the cut

Episode 1 spoilers below

1. Giving a whole point over to saying that goddamn I missed this, I missed this so much

2. Ranboo touching the urn at the start and hearing flashback memories to begging to die - it's a loop confirmed?? Holy shit?

3. The sound design in this cut is genuinly excellent loving the sound effects mwah

4. They used the shot where Slime looks directly to camera on entrance this time!

5. The whole cooking segment is really tightly cut and I love the repeated cutaways and the energy of the whole scene, really feel that panicky pace this time

6. Slime backstory cutaway my beloved, I'm so glad they included it after he mentioned it in his bts stream from ages ago

7. The glitch to reveal the fridge contents are indeed gore yes yes

8. COOK? I D K H O W T O C O O K

9. Definitely overthinking this but I love the lighting change when Ranboo plays the first tape, like everything in the cabin goes dark and Hetch is the only light? The symbolism of him being the only light in the dark, and Ranboo being able to see him but not follow him because there is a literal television in the way?? Thematic parallels my ABSOLUTE beloved

10. Ahhhh the echoing please when they look at the model house ahahahha

11. 'Frank and I have been through a lot. There's been a lot of piss.'

12. The glitches and lighting flickers when anything touches Sneegs hat? Ohhhohohho lovely touch

13. Oh this for sure means something, Sneeg only starts getting frustrated with The Hero not knowing ahead of time what they need to bring after the slime touches the hat, and given the control method for Sneeg is in his hat, it definitely looks like the slime fucked with his control enough for him to remember some stuff from the last loop

14. This isn't related but seeing that portrait of Charlie reminded me that he said his mum really wanted that portrait of him and that's very funny to me

15. OK at the start of the fight, the Hero says 'Not if I done you...first...what?' as an opening taunt, and the mask flickers. Idk if that was intentional, but I do enjoy the idea that either a) the hero was programmed to say something else, but his control glitched, and he forgot what that was or b) the hero was programmed to say that line, and it was so weird that he broke himself out of control for a second

16. Oh DAMN it was intentional!! Control was breaking when it wasn't their 'turn'!

17. Okay onto ep2 later, but while I love the live version of ep1 and all the little pauses and extra improv and it's still a source of comfort to watch it, this cut is so clean and precise with the extra editing and effects I love it equally, I can't wait to see the other episodes

[ana-lmao]

Out the TV, Back in the world

Generation Loss fic!!! I really wanted to write this so I have been writing it the past 3 days!! Enjoy!! It's a long one! ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The audience… has voted… for you… TO DIE. *Click*  It was over, the pain, the suffering, The Show. He was free, He could feel the pain drifting away as the spikes engraved in his head, if the pain was drifting, why did he feel stitching… he could see while unconscious, wires stitching his head, the pain… it was back.. he wanted to scream but couldn’t, he wanted to move… but couldn’t. He was stuck… was he conscious?.. he didn’t know, all he could feel was stitching, he could only hear his heartbeat increase as his mind gained consciousness slowly, opening his eyes, even a black box was a blur to him, he was dizzy, nauseous, he was supposed to die, he still couldn’t scream. Why were his arms loose? They were supposed to be held up by wires.   He could move his arms, they were free, he was weak but tried to open the box, feeling every spike leave his head as he felt air flow through him, Literally. He fell to the ground, barely holding himself up with his hands, everything was a blur… he wanted to die. He slowly started crawling, somehow without falling, he made his way around, surprisingly there was no security, but what he saw next… made him realize what just happened.   A green blur mixed with red, he shook his head to see… someone laying on the ground, wires sticking out from everywhere… what the..   -C-CHARLIE?!   He could barely scream or even talk, he quickly crawled over to him and started shaking him.   -PLEASE!! WAKE UP!!!

  He stood up quickly, no matter how much it hurt or ached he needed to help Charlie, he ran (With a lot of tripping) to the prop room and grabbed a first aid kit, rushing back. He didn’t have a lot of medical knowledge but he needed to do SOMETHING.   -Ranboo?...  Ranboo quickly turns behind him, he spots a familiar face.   -Sneeg?...    Sneeg quickly runs over to him and looks at him worried.

  -What the fuck happened to you?! IS CHARLIE OKAY?!   Ranboo turns back to help Charlie, Sneeg just watched confused and relieved that they were okay… kind of..    -What are you-   Sneeg cuts himself off as Ranboo starts to bandage him as well.   -Oh uh.. thanks.. let me help you too…   Ranboo nods as Sneeg bandages his head, they both get startled when they hear a groan… then Screaming.   -FUCK FUCK- AH- IT HURTS!! IT HURTS!!   -CHARLIE!!   Ranboo immediately crawls over to Charlie and tries to help him. Sneeg does the same.   -WHAT THE FUCK??... –Sneeg takes off Charlies vest to see his insides showing, he immediately bandages it so he doesn’t lose too much blood.

  -Ranboo?! Sneeg?! WHAT HAPPENED?!?   -Calm down Charlie and then we can talk! –Ranboo looks at Charlie freaking out.   -Alright!! I’m calm! Now- What the fuck happened.   -The stupid TV bitch happened. –Sneeg cringes at the mention of it.   -My head got spiked by a black box.   -WHAT!? –Sneeg and Charlie shout in union, giving a concerned look at Ranboo who said it so casually.   -H-Hetch.. –Ranboo blurts out.   -Hetch?! He didn’t help you?!   -No.. he’s not good…   -Wait, who? –Sneeg joins in on the conversation   -Long story…

A while later after they get weapons and help each other.

   -So what do we do now? –Ranboo speaks up.    -What? –Charlie responds

   - I mean how do we get out of he-

    Ranboo was cut off by a sudden glow from a door.

   -What the fuck?.. –He says while backing up.

They look at the glow eyes wide. Charlie takes a step forward.

  -Charlie what the fuck are you doing?! You could get killed In there!!! –Sneeg grabs his arm

-It could be a way out. If it does kill me, that’s a way out too. –He lets go of Sneeg’s arm and runs to the door opening it.

 Ranboo and Sneeg try to stop him but the light just… sucks them in.

At the other side

They screamed as they fell onto a wooden floor, thankfully, nobody was hurt. They get up to see… a big wooden room?..

  -Okay… what kind of episode is this?.. –Ranboo groans as he starts walking, he trips over something. A giant… nail?...

   Ranboo looks up to see a.. giant table with what seems to be tv on it.

  -Are we.. –Ranboo starts speaking

-Shrunk?... I think so.. –Sneeg adds.

-It’s fine! It’s just another episode! We just have to quickly finish it and we can find a way out then! –Charlie reassures them and keeps on walking, seeing a crack in the walls and signals them to follow him, the two nod and follow.

  -Oh fuck… I didn’t think there would actually be people here… -Ranboo walks out slowly, looking up and sprints, Charlie and Sneeg following after.

 -Quickly! I think these episodes last like 3 hours maxim- Charlie looks back before bumping into something, or rather someone…

  Ranboo and Sneeg take cover while Charlie lies there scared and frozen.

   -What the fuck…? –Charlie could barely tell by his shock but the man had Blonde hair with blue eyes, He crouched down and Charlie could only flinch.

  -Wha- what kind of sick idiot makes figurines of missing people –He grabbed Charlie and he immediately yelped in pain and panic, which made the blonde haired man scream too.

  -WHAT THE FUCK?! –The man screams as he sits down on the floor

  As Charlie was freaking out the man puts his finger on his head.

  -Holy shit it’s real- Wait- Charl-

  -Let him go! –The other two come out of hiding and the mans eyes widen in shock.

  -No fucking wa- Is this where you three been?! Shrunken down?!

  -WHAT KIND OF STUPID EPISODE IS THIS!? LET HIM GO! –Sneeg shouts, every instinct in his body telling him to back away.

  The man grabs the other two and puts them in a bag, not zipping it up.

 -Shit shit shit!! –He curses and starts sprinting home.

At his house

 -Listen I’m going to get you out of there only if you don’t run! –The man warns them.

 -WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?! –Ranboo shouts trying to get out of the bag.

 -You don’t… you don’t remember me…? –The man looks concerned and confused.

 -Ran- Ranboo! It’s me? Phil?..

  Why did that name ring a bell… he recognizes it but he doesn’t remember him.

  -Listen I don’t know what kind of stupid episode this is but-

  -What episode?! You keep talking about that and I don’t understand!!! Why are you small and WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED EVERYONES BEEN?!

  -Stop trying to trick us! Just let us go! –Charlie shouts holding his stomach.

  -Oh my god… I didn’t even realize how badly you are injured- I’ll help you heal and then YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!! –Phil gently puts the three on the table and stare in disbelief before snapping back and getting medical stuff.

  -How did you three get injured?..

  -Why should we tell you… -Sneeg was being stubborn.

  -So I know what I’m working with here.

  -Lets see… Died 3 times, one to a stupid monster, being crushed by a wall and then dying to a tv monster wired thing I dunno –Sneeg says it casually giving a death stare while counting on his fingers.

  -Might have died way more times but I don’t remember –He puts his hands in his pocket.

  -WHAT?!- WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU DIED?!- IS THIS A JOKE?!

  -I wouldn’t joke about what we went through.

  -… -Phil tries to help heal most of his wounds but it was hard considering the size difference between him and the medical stuff.

  -What about you Charlie?...

  -Died like four times I think… I was dried up… torn open by Ranboo… died to lasers.. and the TV monster…

  -Wha- TORN OPEN?! BY RANBOO?! WHY?!

  -I NEEDED TO!!! I DIDN’T EVEN REMEMBER CHARLIE AND I WAS UNDER CONTROL BY A BITCH!!- Ranboo adds trying to prove his innocence.

  -Under control…?

  -Yeah… By Hetch.. I died once to my head being crushed in a black spiked box which he lead me to… -Ranboo cringes at remembering it.

  -Jesus fucking- Why are you small then?!

  -I don’t know! I thought this was a new episode style or something!!! It might still be an episode so don’t expect us to trust you yet! –Ranboo backs up

  -Episode… WAIT- Was all of that filmed?! Where?!

  -Uhm.. yeah.. I think streamed- By Showfall media- or something –Ranboo answers.

  -Listen… My names Phil… we met online! I was your friend before you went missing for over a year… well Charlie was missing the longest time… Here I have proof!

  Phil walks out the room and when he gets back he shows pictures of all of them.

  -What..?
