I know they’re never gonna do it cause people don’t like morally gray female main characters (/hj) but I really want the FNAF movie writers to transfer the main character role to Vanessa rather than continuing Mike’s story (totally unbiased opinion aha ha).

I’ve always felt that Mike’s storyline in regards to Freddy’s ended satisfyingly at the end of the FNAF movie. He entered freddy’s with problems that are more or less solved by the end of the movie.

He’s fixed his strained relationship with Abby

If the FNAF movie novel is to be believed, he has a decently paying job now

His whole arc is about moving on from what he cannot change (Garrett’s death) and focus on the present (Abby).

He has no reason to go back to a Freddy’s location and no deeper connection to the Afton’s.

Vanessa, on the other hand, leaves Freddy’s having lost everything. She’s starting the FNAF 2 movie with nothing. As abusive and awful her father was, he was all she had. She doesn’t know what it’s like to be free of him and is burdened with the guilt of having betrayed him and being the cause of his death. She has history with Freddy’s and might now be the new owner of all the Freddy’s locations with William dead.

Vanessa is such a rich and complicated character and, what I’m most interested in, a really interesting moral compass that can make for such a compelling main character. Even though her character is rooted in choosing to do the right thing despite her situation and she ultimately chooses to help Mike and Abby, she’s still running on what her father taught her and the flawed ideology that comes with having been raised by a serial killer.

Vanessa has a line in the first movie that’s stuck with me and it’s her justifying that the vandals were bad people and that’s why she was okay with them dying. I think that’s such an interesting train of thought the writers can explore. How Vanessa believed that some deaths are okay + normal. Imagine the FNAF 2 movie exploring Vanessa’s twisted moral compass and unusually desensitized reactions to death. How every once in a while, Vanessa will have a very concerning line that makes Mike realize that he’s really doesn’t know who she is as a person behind that initial facade she put up.

Especially if you throw in Vanessa possibly having a very unstable or unreliable memory and perception of the world. I really like the idea of hallucinations, flashbacks, and dreams showing the audience William’s character through the lens of Vanessa. It can provide a good flow between the present and the flashbacks I’m sure is being planned for the FNAF 2 movie.

FIRST OF ALL, ur a gem and my favorite person alive. SECOND, bold of you to think Neteyam has free time. thIRD, I was thinking of our discussion today about Neteyam's inability to let anything go and his need to fix things at work today. This little girl came up to me and my coworker where we were chatting with a 3rd grade boy and she went "I fell and banged my knee," and my coworker was like "Oh no, do you need an ice pack?" And the girl went "No," and just turned around and walked away. The 3rd grade boy with us says "What was that? Why would she even tell you, she's just complaining?" So I said "You know Quinton, sometimes people just want you to listen. They don't need you to try to fix everything. They just want you to listen."

This kid was dISGUSTED, I tell you. He made the rudest face ever, and he said "That's so stupid," and walked away. I thought of Neteyam. This is what he thinks as well.

also NEYTIRI BEING LIKE JAKE'S CAREGIVER IS MY FAV MODERN AU HEADCANON OKAY. BECAUSE I LOVE LOVE THE IDEA OF THEM TRAVELING THE WORLD TO DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN JUST TO PROVE TO JAKE THAT HE CAN. JEYTIRI JOCKS ARE LITERALLY ALWAYS DOING SOMETHING CRAZY AND NEYTIRI IS IN THE BACK HIGHLY TRAINED TO HANDLE IT.

Consider this, twins Lo'ak and Kiri always make wheelchair jokes at Jake on a foster kids first night, and Jake pretends to be extremely over the top offended. This is their way to haze the new foster, and they do it for like a whole day until Neteyam or Neytiri catch them.

Neteyam babytalking Spider has to be a kink for one of them, this is terrible what you've done here. You need to stop saying things in fic that result in me accusing you of giving a character a kink. First Spider's praise kink now this.

I'll reblog and try to add more to the fast food au if I can think of anything, but ooh boy, I feel like I just kNOW exactly what parts of it will feature. The couch part is rIGHT up your angsty and gay little alley.

Work up today feeling Blegh so instead of actually writing or drawing or painting I will be teasing Crop Circles with a list of Modern Au Nocorro HC’s enjoy

- this one has been in my head forever. Spider has a septum piercing, 100%. He does all his piercings by himself in someone’s basement with the most unhygienic needles known to man and it’s a miracle and a testament to his rock hard immune system that his ears haven’t fallen off. He and Neteyam begin to bond when Neteyam (who has to try to break out of perfect first son mold) asks him to pierce his nose

- projecting here, but Neteyam is a pottery guy. He’s on the debate team and quite frankly he’s insufferable and stupid smart, but in his downtime he goes to the local ceramics studio and goes on the wheel and makes things.

- spider’s a foster kid, which inherently comes with so much trauma and problems but one of his biggest unseen ones is he’s always living life with one foot out the door

- Neteyam’s damage is absolutely his insane, balls off the wall self-management and the expectations he has for himself. He’s incredibly uptight but not in a good way, he’s just incapable of relaxing. A chronic fixer, always looking for solutions to every single persons problem

- in this AU, Neytiri is gods gift to mankind. She met Jake before he become paralyzed, and stuck through with him and practically got a second degree in nursing (her first was geophysics, our educated queen) while learning how to help

- the Sully’s begin fostering when Lo’ak and Kiri turn seven (yes, they are twins again. You can pry twins Lo’ak and Kiri out of my cold dead hands) and stop for a while after Tuk is born. They see many different sorts of children and Neytiri, who works from home, becomes AMAZING at reading kids

- Jake is the Dad ever. He’s so good. There’s something inherently soothing about his presence, and he’s a tiny bit gruff sometimes, but only on bad pain days. Otherwise, he’s instrumental to showing a bunch of kids that fathers and men could be good people. He plays with little kids and teenager fosters alike, and he religiously talks with Neytiri to find out what each kid needs

- once neteyam hits 15, he starts helping out with the younger fosters as well, as a big brother figure. Tuk teaches him a lot, so he’s able to tune in to the soft and mushy gushy part of himself to hang out with children

- he tries to employ some of these techniques with Spider, since he forgets to turn that part of himself off, and Spider thinks he’s literally insane

- Like Neteyam will slip into like baby-talk while Spider’s in the room and they make horrible, split second eye contact

- They know each other from school, and Spider used to be a grade above until he failed a year and had to repeat a year. He n Neteyam are seniors at the local high school, but run in drastically different circles

- spider is a massive loner, with like a diehard bestie who’s probably a bit of an addict or a fellow foster kid and Neteyam’s got fake friends galore, in the most stereotypical high school way. They had one project together in some English class way back when and it’s Neteyam’s only memory of Spider, but they were like 12 and Spider is drastically different now, and Neteyam can’t really reconcile with that

- go read @be-the-glenn-to-my-maggie ‘s fast food AU HC list a BUNCH of shit will pop up in this modern au

Hell Pride University 2: Charlie & Vaggie

Charlie: (unlocking the door to her dorm room, her workout clothes are slick with sweat and rain, cheeks flushed, and out of breath) Thanks again for *pant-pant* helping me out with my stamina and *huff-puff* endurance, Vaggie. I appreciate it.

Vaggie: (drops her soaked duffle bag off on the floor) No worries, Char. Thanks for letting me stay over while the storm passes o- (glances at the dorm) -ooooooh....

-The dorm has a queen sized bed, desk, full closet wardrobe, desk, and is twice if not three times larger than the regular dorms. Kitchenette stands in the corner with a personal shower and bathroom. Razzle and Dazzle are passed out in their oversized dog bed that's too big for them both-

Vaggie: ....Charlie.... why is your dorm room so huge?

Charlie: Oh! Uh! (pulls a spare set of sweat pants and hoodie out of her closet and passes it to Vaggie along with a clean towel) You know..... My dad's the dean of the college.

Vaggie: (takes the clothes and towel) .....And.... that gives you a damn near hotel suite for a dorm?

Charlie: (sweating and blushing) Would.... you believe me if I said I was the Hall Director and lived here full-time?

Vaggie: (jaw drops) Don't you need a master's degree for that? .....Wait.... That's a full-time JOB!!!

Charlie: Well... (pokes fingers together) I'm working on my graduate degree... so... my dad may or may not have pulled a few strings to get me the job....

Vaggie: YOU'RE GETTING YOUR MASTERS AND YOU WORK HERE?!?!?!

Charlie: Vaggie, it's not that bad!

Vaggie: I just thought you were late to going to school like me! How old even are you?!

Charlie: (mumbles and looks away bashfully)

Vaggie: What?

Charlie: ......almost thirty.....

Vaggie: THIRTY?!?!?! I'm twenty-four!!!

Charlie: ALMOST!!! ALMOST thirty!!! I still have two months, one week, and three days....

Vaggie: Ay, dios mio! (plasters her head against the dorm door) I'm interested in a woman who could have been my baby sitter....

Charlie: (perks up and eyes sparkle) You're interested in me????

Vaggie: I-I mean... Yeah... But I thought you were MY age!!! YOUNGER even!!! I was starting to feel like a perv because I thought you were eighteen!!!

Charlie: I'm the same person I was dying on the track fifteen minutes ago, Vaggie!

Vaggie: You probably know how to use a VHS player!

Charlie: I mean. I do, but that's beside the point. Also, they're called VCR's.

Vaggie: (flops onto the bed and groans) Clara and Odette are gonna have a field day when they find out.

Charlie: Clara and Odette? Oh! I didn't know you were a Carmine. I had those two come see me in the tutoring center when I worked there as an undergraduate!

Vaggie: ........of course they did.......

sometimes when you're not a great programmer and everyone looks at you and goes "i don't know... that's scary" when you want to do something in ren'py you have to get creative and by creative i mean code that would make an actual programmer get mad at you

Hi! I just went through your quizzes (gorgeous writing, by the way!) and I wonder if you have the results for all of them posted somewhere? I know both saints quizzes have a full results post and the garden one too, but I don't think I've found the others. I'm especially curious about the supervillain one :)

hiya!! thank you so much i'm so glad you liked them <3 as of right now i only have results up for the saints + garden quizzes, but i would be so happy to post more results for you! anytime i post results, they should be linked on the masterpost in my bio :) i think i will. only post the supervillain one for now. the other ones make me feel a little silly. but you are so welcome to the supervillain results <3

for those of you who have taken the supervillain quiz: here's how your story could have ended!

im making a wedding guest list in order to. uh. destress. from work anxiety. (we are not officially engaged yet in that we are waiting for our rings to arrive sometime this month and also do not even a little have a wedding date and have not figured out a budget yet. so it's a very stupid exercise. but. i can do whatever i want)

anyway im beginning to worry that i only have two friends? i suppose it's actually good because that will cost less but possibly i have some kind of disease or condition

Sketches of William in his college days from like 2am last night yayyyy

realizing it’s probably not normal to have a good hip and bad hip at the ripe old age of 18…

[emjee]

Staring at the wall trying not to think about how the last time I got laid was a one night stand with a queer guy that was somehow better than all of the sex in my 1.5 year previous relationship and that only happened because of Hinge but I will not re-download an app, re-downloading an app is the mind killer etc etc and besides they don’t even work anymore

[smallblueandloud]

Okay. i just have to deal with five (5) emails. five (5) emails and then i can collapse and call today a Win.

friendly reminder that when I started following @itspileofgoodthings I hadn’t listened to Taylor Swift in something like nine years. Maria’s power cannot be overstated.

[curiosity-killed]

i love my sister and for the most part, we are very close and genuinely like each other a lot but the one place where i'd just really, really, really like to see inside her brain is the part where she is still incredibly comfortable and cheerful—and even thinks it's really funny—talking about how much she didn't like me as a child while I'm like. yes. I am and was aware. and it sucked so so so much

[mcmissileproof]

fucked up thing about getting older is that the age range I'd consider to be functionally the same age as me widens in both directions (I'm approaching 27 and don't feel particularly different from 23 and I don't expect to have utterly changed as a person by 35 either) but then somebody I think of as basically my age talks about their formative middle school media that I remember from college and I feel my skin begin to sag. or the opposite happens and I think huh well maybe I did just get born a minute ago.
