#i know i just posted another submission but this skips the queue this information is so cool

[animatronic-confessions]

I personally know someone who worked at the Funtime Pizza in Carrollton Texas. Here are some fun facts about this barely documented store thats part of a lesser known franchise that housed a Rock Afire

It opened in 1994 and closed in 1996. 1997 is listed as the closing year on Cheese E Pedia and it is incorrect

The Rock Afire was in a state of disrepair due to tech negligence

Many arcade games were also broken. This contributed to the closure of the store

From what I can tell, it is unknown what happened to their show

The costume room consisted of only a bench that the Billy Bob walkaround costume rested on, unlike the hooks that Chuck E Cheese has in their costume room

There is a 15-ish minute long video of the store on YouTube. So far it is the only footage of the store

There are no confirmed photos of the store, although showbizpizza.com has some photos from an unknown Funtime Pizza in TX that could be it

Today the building still stands. It is now split into 3-4 separate stores, a bank, two restaurants and a bakery. The part of the building that was transformed into a bakery is where the Rock Afire once performed. I have been in that bakery in person and it looks completely different compared to the video footage

My source also said there was a Funtime Pizza in Fort Worth and Arlington TX but that is unconfirmed as it has not been documented if it does exist

That is all ^^

Hey, I love your blog! I'm sorry to bother you but I was just wondering if you got my submissions and if you've approved of them and will post them?

(Long Post; press ‘j’ to skip past if on desktop)

Hello! Thank you for loving the blog! I did get your submissions, and they have been approved. I will post them, but with the way I run this blog, the earliest one of your submissions would show up would be mid-February at this point.

(And now a little behind-the-scenes look if you want a more in-depth explanation for why that is, or if you’re just curious.)

How that works is that I like to fill the queue all the way up to the max (which is 300 posts) with quotes and other fma posts all at once when it is a few days from running out. I press the ‘shuffle’ button a couple times to thoroughly scramble the order in which I have entered the posts, so there is a better mix between new original incquotes, new submitted incquotes, old reblogged incquotes, and other fma posts. I set up the queue to post 3 times a day, so that gives me the next 100 days to make new incquotes and find other fma posts and receive submissions, and I put all of that in the drafts. Hopefully, by the end of the 100 days, I have over 300 new posts waiting in the drafts.

The last time I filled up the queue was a couple days before last Halloween, so the submissions that have been posting in that time were submitted before the last week of October.

I do apologize for how long it takes to see your submissions. I have thought about maybe changing the timeline in which I post submissions, but because no one else has brought it up before, I thought it was something that only I had some issue with and therefore, not worth changing.

And if you are still concerned about having quotes approved, well, here are some things that have made me reject submissions, or change them, or just keep them in my inbox because I don’t know what to do with them:

Biggest No-No: Absolutely no quotes that support pedophilic or incestual ships! This is the one I have made sure to put down in the submissions page. It says before the submission box that even if you did not intend for it to be romantic, if it can conceivably be perceived that way and tagged as a pedophilic or incestual ship by someone reblogging, then I will alter it in a way that would make it more not like that, like adding another character. I feel incredibly guilty changing someone else’s submissions though, especially in this case, because they are clearly going for a wholesome platonic, familial vibe. Unfortunately, what ends up happening sometimes is that some of those submissions just end up sitting in my inbox longer as I wrestle with that guilt and how to potentially change it.

Offensive shock humor/humor rooted in bigotry. Not too long ago, I had to delete multiple submissions with humor based in transphobia and sexual violence. It was incredibly disheartening to receive, and I am not gonna force anyone else to read them or anything like that. I rarely get this type of stuff, which I am grateful for.

Quotes that are graphically NSFW, especially if they involve the teenage characters. These are INCREDIBLY uncomfortable for me to read. I’m usually fine with posting some dirty humor, but either the lines are too blurred with these submissions, or they are just waaayyy too inappropriate out the gate. I have actually posted some of these because I thought that maybe I was having an overreaction to these quotes, maybe I’m being too prudish, maybe they actually are that funny to more people. I don’t know if others are having the same reaction to them that I do, but they usually end up being some of the least popular quotes, so I’m probably just gonna reject them now. I will admit, there are a few quotes that I had posted in the very early days of this blog that are more NSFW than I would think to make now. I’m honestly surprised that I did make those, I think I was just excited to find more quotes for this blog, my mind has changed now.

Quotes that I have already done before.  Even if you have submitted it with different characters, chances are that I’m still gonna delete it unless it is really different. If you happen to submit a quote that I have not posted yet, but I do have it waiting in my queue or drafts, I won’t add the submission. I know this is harder to check for anyone submitting, especially because this blog has almost 5,000 posts, but yeah, this is just one of the things that make me reject a submission.

More specifically, do not send me that quote from Brooklyn 99 where Jake accidentally calls Holt “Dad”. This is, without a doubt, the quote I keep getting sent the most. At one point, I had 7 submissions of it from different people in my inbox all at once before I deleted them. I still get submissions of it that I delete on sight at this point. Y’all. That is one of this blog’s earliest quotes. I’m pretty sure it’s within the first 100 posts. It’s already been done. Please stop sending me this quote.

I don’t think you were expecting such a hefty response, but I hope you have the necessary information.

Dear Chris,

My favorite character to answer as is Athena, partly because she’s my favorite one in the series, but also because I believe that personality is what makes a character great, and she’s loaded with it!

You just never know how she’s going to react, even when presented with a simple challenge or scenario, but it’s almost always a reaction that makes me want to smile, frown, grimace, etc. with her.  I also enjoy answering as Phoenix and Apollo since their personalities are the easiest for me to relate to, and Maya and Trucy because of their limitless charm and enthusiasm.

As stated in previous posts, I prefer not to get involved with ships, but if any sort of romantic bond happened to form between the aforementioned personality queen and the straight man Apollo, I’d probably be all over it.  I consider that a semi-ship, I guess.  Is there a term for that?  A “boat,” maybe...?

The Modthorne is currently unable to give an answer directly, but she’s informed me that her favorite characters to answer as are Phoenix, Maya, Athena, Calisto, and (big surprise here) Dahlia, and that her favorite ships include Kristoph x Dahlia, Franny x Lang, and Shih-na x Lang.

Dear aceattorneyfanforever789,

Nothing to worry about there.  Your letter’s in the queue and on its way toward being answered.  It didn’t break any rules, either -- it’s just in a long line of letters, and it probably won’t reach the front for about another month or two.  I’d love it if we could just skip to it right now, but it wouldn’t be fair to the other submitters.  Very sorry.

Luckily, there’s another one of your letters that’s a lot closer to reaching us, so you’ll have that to look forward to in...I’d say a month at most.  Again, sorry we can’t do anything to speed up the process just yet.

Fixed it!  Thanks for letting us know.  Apollo’s convoluted history keeps throwing me off...

Dear Fulbright Jr,

If you’re referring to the Mod, you can feel free to write to him, but we unfortunately haven’t seen any sign of him since his departure (not even emails), so I can’t say whether or not he’ll respond.  Sorry.

But if you want to do dubs over some letters, go right ahead -- we’d consider it an honor!  In fact, I’d love it if we could do something like that ourselves, but so far our time has been consumed by just doing the answering.

I only have one request -- please be respectful to the submitters.  Don’t give them voices that make them sound dumb or insincere (unless it’s obvious that they meant to sound that way).  I’m not saying I was expecting you to do that, I just wanted to make that clear.  If that sounds okay with you, then dub away!

(Woo-hoo, publicity!)

Dear gyakutensaibanvsaceattorney,

Sorry that wasn’t specified in the Submission Guidelines page (I’ll go ahead and add it in), but the Mod did mention in a previous post that the Asinine Attorney cases are off limits, and I think it’d be best to keep that way since allowing letters like that would violate the “don’t break the fourth wall” rule.

I'd also love it if someone had the ambition, the knowledge, and the time to make a blog where the characters of this beloved franchise were free to talk about their creators and the making of their games, but as of right now, that someone isn’t me -- my hands are full just co-running this ask blog.

If anyone else feels like giving it a go, be our guest!

Dear Lershel Hayton,

Sorry ‘bout that.  That’s the risk you run when pretending to be a fan of something you know practically nothing about, I guess.  In my defense, the Mod worded it the same way, so...there you have it.  I’ll keep that in mind from now on, though.  That’s what a gentleman does.
