#leaving Gregory the soul surviver

[oifaaa]

Bridgerton is one of my comfort shows mostly bc I think its so funny that the Bridgerton family is just the worst they're all deeply unlikeable insufferable people and watching each of them find love despite how utterly horrible they all are gives me hope

pick-a-pile reading

🍒 who has their eye on you in your dr?

choose an image above that you feel most drawn to, then scroll down to find the associated pile. don’t force any messages: take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. your selection will reveal who is romantically interested in you, and what your relationship would be like in your desired reality!

PILE ONE

key words & symbols … books. 444. green. nature. red string of fate / soul ties. autumn or changing of seasons.

this individual is likely an animal person, feeling very drawn to care for them and spend time with them. they may also have a dash of golden retriever energy and a more upbeat personality. with physical touch as their love language, they love giving forehead kisses with your face cradled in their hands, or interlocking your pinkies just to feel connected to you. you two may have a bit of a grumpy x sunshine dynamic at times, with your dr self being a bit more reserved or introverted. they want you to feel loved unconditionally, regardless of what you think of yourself and your past. close friends to lovers, or a friend you never expected to fall for. your love is like autumn, like the scent of apples and cinnamon or feeling a crisp breeze while wearing a warm sweater. halloween likely has a special place in both of your hearts.

“I want to stay on the back porch while the world tilts toward sleep, until what I love misses me, and calls me in.” — Dorianne Laux, from "On the Back Porch," Only As the Day Is Long: New and Selected Poems.

PILE TWO

key words & symbols … sea, ocean. stars, night sky, starlight. snow/cold. 777. wolves, canines. the letters k & a. the colors white & pink. roses. rabbits or lambs.

this is someone who wants to know more about the world around them, through exploration and introspection. they are dedicated to learning about themselves, healing, and growing on their path. this person may have been a lone wolf for a while before meeting you, but having you around is like following the north star to solace. they care deeply about protecting you and ensuring that you are safe. quality time is important to them, even if it's just sitting in silence while you watch the sky (stargazing or watching the clouds). they prefer silence and keeping their distance from most people, but you're an exception.

“Just close your eyes, the sun is going down. You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now. Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound.” — Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift.

“She's waving hi, her other hand's in mine ... She's got my back, she'll follow me down every street, no matter what my crime.” — Amsterdam by Gregory Alan Isakov.

PILE THREE

key words & symbols … butterflies. orange. tangerine. red. yellow/gold. crown. the letter p. angels or angelic/heavenly imagery.

this person has tried hard to be as soft as they are now, especially with their past behind them; they have experienced events that would make anyone else turn to rage and hurt, but they don't want that for themself. they want to be someone loyal and trustworthy, a person you can turn to when you need it most. when other parts of their life feel uncertain or unpredictable, they know that you're a constant. they find comfort in your arms, like listening to a long-time favorite song that never fails to make your heart feel warm inside. they love french fries and trying new foods (they're likely always hungry, possibly due to superpowers of some kind and needing to fuel themselves for extra energy).

“Save me, I'm lost. Oh, Lord, I've been waiting for you. I'll pay any cost, save me from being confused. Show me what I'm looking for.” — Show Me What I'm Looking For by Carolina Liar

[fivenightsatfreddysfanfiction]

it is curious how cassie and oswald (and jeremy, it sounds like?) could get in the old section so easily with the remnant shield in place. it clears sense that the kids could get in with gregory, but i wonder if it is so much of jeremy's own remnant being in the place letting him in, or mike's recognizing him.

That's right; Cassie and Oswald can get in because of Gregory, when Gregory is on that side, he's overriding Mike's influence with his own because it's pretty much the same Remnant and his Will to Win is equal to The Strength to Survive. If Gregory is in Freddy's, anyone else can get in not just the two kids because Gregory doesn't know to impart his own influence. Mike had been constantly thinking and giving off a sense of 'leave this place', but Gregory doesn't really have anything to focus on so intently other than 'find Mike's things'.

Jeremy can get in because Mike's Remnant 'remembers' and recognizes him. He can hold his own in Freddy's, so there's no need to worry about keeping him safe, unlike random other civilians. There is Remnant in the place that came from Jeremy, grief-bound, but not enough to hold much sway beyond helping build the memories that loop in some of the rooms and halls.

Damien can get in because he's Six's other vessel for now, so it's like having a hall pass. Even though he has Jonathan's soul as his reincarnation, he'd pretty much given up his hold on the place as The Influence to concentrate everything in his relic to hold Springtrap in place. So that wouldn't let him get past Mike's control of the grounds.

Little thing about Henry and Michael

Michael and Henry have always had a good relationship mainly because whenever William would leave for weeks on end Michael Evan and Elizabeth would go over there for a time. Henry never knew about Williams abuse because William intimidated them all not to tell Henry or anyone else about it so Henry assumed Michael just kept getting into fights because I mean Michael himself said so. Henry was one of the first people Michael came out to of being trans the others being Evan and Elizabeth. When Michael threw up ennard Henry rushed over to Michaels house after seeing a blood trail leading into Michaels house and he was super worried that another person he loved died on him (Michael technically did but he was still able to walk around). Henry was the one to give Michael a wig and Michael made his own mask and Henry walked in on Michael super glueing the wig to his head after it fell off one too many times. When Henry made the plan for fnaf 6 he made a way out for Michael as he was always the intended security guard but Michael insisted on staying and going down with all of freddys. When Michael had survived the fire the souls were not free but because Henry couldn't find Michaels soul or body he figured Michael had survived and took all of the souls and brought them to Michaels house. It was hard for Henry after death to just watch his nephew lay on a couch for years unable to move or do basically anything other than give half hearted answers to him and the souls talking to him until the day after Michael got forced into the gang which was the day all of his sadness turned to rage and his body became sort of alive again he had blood and organs once more and could actually walk Henry was worried about Michael because of how much angrier Michael got how Michael had random fits of throwing things and then breaking down crying Michael was never cut out to have the responsibility of saving the souls and Henry could only watch helplessly as Michael strived for an unobtainable goal. When Michael finally calmed down a bit and got a job at the mall Henry was ecstatic Michael was finally doing something productive instead of making charts on how he could free the souls Henry was glad Michael had finally made new friends he was happy for Michael when he made his relationship with Mike and jack official and was even happier when Michael reunited with Jeremy and Simon and when Michael adopted Gregory but was always unable to stop Michaels random dips back into sadness and drinking unable to hug him to comfort him unable to do the things he had done for Michael for years he wanted to give Michael a birthday party but everyone had forgotten his birthday and William never wrote it down anywhere Henry couldn't even buy things for Michael to make it a birthday party Henry couldn't buy Michael presents for Christmas he couldn't do anything to try and help him so he tried the best he could and that's what matters.

[armedinkblot]

i dont make fan theories often bc i tend to daydream off into things that cant possibly be real, but i think maybe this new mimic game preview, where they look like puppet, proves a theory i had a while ago

hear me out please

charlie is glamrock freddy

OKAY OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT THOUGH-

SO in security breach we know that something is odd with freddy. logically ive always kinda chalked it up to the fact he probably has the best antivirus bc hes the lead man so thats why he doesnt attack gregory after vanny's tampering bc personally ive never felt good about michael possessing him

(i get why people like that but michael was only kept alive bc of the scoopers remnant, so if you guys want him to be the mc in fnaf6 hes gotta be dead, pick one please i see good fuel for both)

so who is freddy??? well hold onto your socks bc i got something that you mightve already thought about idk BUT someone in the fnaf6 ending was never a remnant being and wasnt shown dying--

we get so many hints at puppet everywhere (the wiring, the dolls, yanno youve prolly seen them pointed out already), but there is no mention of charlie/puppet ANYWHERE by name to gregory

so heres my idea:

we know through sources that remnant is what happens when soul matter touches metal, and that if there is no reaction between a souls agony and some kinda steel, remnant aint happenin. remnany is functionally what made william/springtrap 'immortal' and michael survive ennard. we know thats what henry was aiming to melt down to undo the binding of the souls and the metal in fnaf6.

but puppet was never metal. every time we see puppet, it floats around or wiggles like a plushie. puppet is a fluffy soft toy that clearly does NOT have any bones.

wibbly wobbly

we also see it half-transparent in hallways, like- oh yanno- A GHOST???

i know fnaf has strayed further away from the haunted aspect and more into scifi, but what if puppet was our tie to classic haunts this whole time?

id like to point to this line that glamrock freddy says the first time you visit the fnaf6 sinkhole with him:

THE FIRST HALF OF THE MESSAGE: puppet/charlie definitely HAS been here before as we see in fnaf6, and we know that in between fnaf6 and help wanted old fazbear workers brought circuits torn out of scraptrap from the fnaf6 ruins to silver parasol games for scanning and utilizing, and thats more than likely where glitchtrap came from, but what does freddy mean by this?

im not sure exactly

you could argue that its cassidys vengeful spirit forcing charlie to continue clinging to earth in freddy ("she brought me here" if you consider cassidy to be a lil girl) which i personally would not put forcing their friend's spirit to haunt earth as long as part of afton is active past them, theyre a spiteful lil shit) but this isnt the meat of my theory so ill leave it

now the other half of the message, about glamrock freddys friends being angry and confused, really has the same vibe as these two puppet ucn lines to me

i think if theory this is true, this also could be good news for the moltenmci theory that i also subscribe to

ANYWAY these lines have similar energy to me, what with the whole "i am fine and calm but these guys? YEESH theyre cray" thing.

lemme tie it together real quick:

charlie dies and her ghost decides "hey i should stick around to stop william and maybe help those lost babies" so she possesses puppet!

the fact shes a complete spirit and not just the raw emotion from remnant means shes way way WAY more coherant and clever than the other animatronics

in fnaf6 shes put in lefty, which i think henry did to try and force charlies spirit to become remnant by interacting with the animatronic's metal, but it doesnt work bc charlies already a ghouly ghoul and aint havin that

so when the pizzeria simulator place burns down, sure the puppet and lefty were gone but was charlie's spirit? NO bc it wasnt remnant! fire doesnt touch ghosts silly casette man!!!

thats why, lemme draw your attention to the fact that CHARLIE IS NEVER SHOWN GETTING FREED:

SHES NEVER SHOWN IN THE ENDING BC ITS SYMBOLIC FOR HER STILL BEING AROUND

so what happened after that? well security breach takes place in and above the sinkhole that once was the fnaf6 location. spirits, in many folklores, do not tend to stray too far from their resting place most of the time

so if charlie, now a freed spirit with nowhere to go and nothing personal to possess (sorry about your puppet), finds out that afton is still possessing endoskeletons and having his brainwashed people kill people for funsies bestie? she aint having that

this was the kid that decided instead of just passing on to heaven or whatever, to STAY BEHIND AND HELP THE OTHER KIDS TAKE WILLIAM DOWN. she is described by henry as selfless and always helping others instead of herself

also need i remind you of charlies most famous act of trying to help (but accidently making things worse by prolonging the suffering instead of 'giving life'?)

this bitch would 100% possess the strongest thing she could to try and stop him, the strongest being glamrock freddy.

now after years of being manipulated into being freddy and acting as him/working with his programming, she might not have a clear understanding of who she once was. so, when glamrock freddy says "i found myself for the first time when i cleared the path" what if he means she remembered what she originally came here to do?

what if she left all the calling cards on purpose? what if she left the plushies around as a reminder of who she is so she doesnt forget why shes still tied to earth? so she remembers to stop afton instead of just let the programming take over?

bc if you remember, we're all fairly certain william only runs away to balloon boys voice in fnaf3 bc of the animatronic's programming it wouldnt be too out of place for charlie to struggle with it too, tho in a different way.

as for mimic...

the REAL reason i wanted to bring it up is bc this looks like puppet. this music box plays the puppet song my grandfathers clock, and then mimic pops out.

the most common question i see is why mimic is referencing puppet, and my theory explains that:

if charlie is in the pizzaplex, then mimic probably knows all about her. everything about her. tales from the pizzaplex has an ongoing plotline where mimic is literally stalking and studying the other characters obsessively, so whos to say his connection in the baobab tree didnt get him access to ""memory files"" or whatever its called when agony/remnant is imprinted on circuitry like with scraptrap and glitchtrap.

so yeah, heres my theory on what happened to charlie and whos REALLY possessing glamrock freddy!!!

i wrote this at 6AM after pulling an all nighter sorry if its hectic and poorly written; i actually wanna make a theory video bc i really think i have something substantial here, but idk how well recieved this would be hehe

i will also accept chica being possessed by charlie bc of twisted animatronic's videos on chicas crying and fighting the hacking

thanks for reading!!! pls be nice im scared lol

Ghosts in the Machine cut scene

Hey Star!!

So, as the title might indicate, this is a cut scene from that Ghosts in the Machine AU I started a long time ago. I’m taking NaNoWriMo to actually write the thing fully! Originally, I had thought to go through to Ruin as well, but I decided that Burntrap will most likely be my stopping point, so I decided to cut this scene I’d already written. But, I wanted to share anyway because I find it delightfully creepy, as does my wife, and wanted your opinion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the fires burned, and more of the PizzaPlex fell down into ash and memory, down below, in a room that had not been part of the forgotten pizzeria, a computer turned on.

Afton, after everything that had happened to him, had made plans. He feared death, yes, and would fight to survive and come back, always. But, his last return had only been a mere chance. Someone wanting to save a buck by cutting some corners. And if he had any day in the matter, he would never again leave things to chance.

The computer processed the night’s events, a direct hardline into the PizzaPlex security system giving it more access than even the normal security guards or managers had. Cameras they were unaware of, such as those in the more secret areas, like the room he’d had built for him to rest in that was modeled on his old home. But they also could access other cameras, like those in Rockstar Row. And the animatronics dressing rooms.

”I…I’m Gregory.”

The voice of the child that had killed his latest attempt at resurrection played on a loop, mixed with other audio and video. Slowly, as the computer parsed the images and sounds, a pair of eyes began lighting up. And then, instead of on the computer, the line came from the newly revealed exoskeleton, one just waiting for a suit.

“I…I’m Gregory.”

And then another one, a bit behind it, began to light up as well.

And another.

And another.

A dozen new exoskeletons came online, each powered by a soul under Afton’s control. The construction team that had disappeared. The therapists that had starting getting too close to home. That one employee that had wandered in from the maze area.

Afton may have preferred children as his victims, the remnant and agony they left behind more powerful in his creations and therefore more powerful for him, ensuring he would return, but he was pragmatic when he needed.

As the exoskeletons came online, the consciousness of Afton, now returned once more to this glitched digital version, smiled, and he prepared his contingencies.

After all, he thought to himself, Why leave things to chance…when instead, I can /lead/ things, to RUIN.

Hello hello! That’s exciting to hear, I hope your writing goes well, and good luck with NaNo! 

Wow wow wow, I love this!! The connection between Gregory’s stutter when introducing himself to Freddy and the way the Mimic says it after Cassie finds it—ahhhhhh!! I never noticed that!! 

And that end line!! Mmmmm, that’s so good!

[inxthexshadowxofxdeath]

(Jeremy Allen White) [THE ICARUS]. Please welcome [RUBEN HOBBES (HE/HIM)] to Huntsville, WV. They are an [35]-year-old [RESIDENT] who lives in [TOWN]. You may see them around working as a [DEPUTY GAME WARDEN]. Poor unfortunate soul. We’ll see if they survive. 

Broken bottles shine just like stars…

Full Name: Ruben Hobbes Nicknames/Aliases: Hobbes (only close friends/family call him Ruben or know his first name for that matter); Roo (Strictly by his deceased parents, deceased wife, Clara Jones, and maybe eventually his current partners) DOB: 12/01/1989 (Saggitarious) Birthplace: Huntsville, WV Orientation: Hetro/panromantic, Pansexual

Make a wish anyway…

Ruben was never given a true middle name, his parents could never decide on one. One day it was Gregory the next Ochs... His father's favorite was Baryte - a reference to an oil paint color ("the perfect green") that was long discontinued. Not that they ever got around to filing the paperwork. Seeing as his mother was the music teacher at the elementary school and his father a painter (known for detailed oil portraits of ducks and other Appalachian wildlife they'd shrink real small to decorate stamps), the Hobbeses weren't the most organized people but they were lovely nonetheless.

Little Roo knew nothing but love, and finger painting, and making music on pots and pans on the kitchen floor.

Our dreams on the window sill…

His childhood was a good one, filled with scraped knees and dirty sneakers and messy hair. In high school, he quickly became the class clown. Funny, charming, silly Hobbes. Clever and athletic and easygoing... and head over heels in love with his high school sweetheart. Hobbes and Hanna with no 'h'. They'd been going steady since 5th grade.

She was bookish and wild and far smarter than he was. All that to say: she was perfect. They could've been prom king and queen probably if they hadn't skipped the dance to climb trees and eat take out and talk about their future life together. Hanna sometimes thought about leaving Huntsville but Hobbes never did. She'd tease him about how he didn't dream big enough.

Hobbes thought his dreams were just the right size just... simpler. And that there was something beautiful in that. In reality he would have followed her wherever she wanted but she would never ask.

They immediately got married after high school, right in the gazebo in the park. They had a vanilla sheet cake and the whole town there. Hobbes doesn't remember much from that night due to the drinking and merrymaking other than Hanna had spilled beer down the front of her thrift store wedding dress and that he was the happiest man in the world. It seems so long ago now.

And your heart's a thousand colors but they're all shades of blue…

Lola Rose was their 'oopsie' baby and Hanna and Hobbes could not have been more over the moon. He remembers this short period of his life - their life, together, as a little family - vividly.

It wouldn't be right to say it was before everything went wrong. Because just before Lola was born his parents passed, and naturally that was difficult. It was a car accident and the roads were wet. But it wasn't anyone's fault; it was just life. The car was old.

Still, moving his little family into his now empty childhood home felt melancholy. He and Hanna vowed to fill it with nothing but joy. So they set to making it home again even in his parent's absence. There was crayon on the walls like his father would have wanted and the kitchen was still for dancing as his mother would've insisted, and for a while things were right again.

Then Hanna got sick. And cancer doesn't really care how much you love someone.

It wasn't anyone's fault; it was just life.

I’m dying, Roo.

He missed their secret handshake. He missed how she always burned the cakes she tried so hard to make. How she always left her socks on the couch. How she poked his cheek when she wanted attention. How she wore her wedding ring around her neck because it was a size too big and they never got around to getting it fixed...

What am I supposed to do without you, Hanna?

I don’t know, dummy. Live, maybe?

He missed her so much sometimes it felt like he couldn't breathe. He still does.

The tumors in my head, Roo. Not yours.

Lola was a bit too young to truly understand when they buried her mother. 3, just about 4... Hobbes tried to explain to her as she grew. They'd feed the ducks then go 'get flowers for Momma' as Lola would say. They'd sit a bouquet of wildflowers down at the grave and sometimes Hobbes' eyes would water but he'd wipe them before his daughter saw. Seeing Momma was never supposed to be sad. Sometimes they couldn't help it though.

And the years went on. Lola was his sun and moon and stars and she was just as mischievous and bright as her mother. And for a while things were... not right. But good again. Until it wasn't. 2012 wasn't good for anyone.

To be fair, they made it 5 years. And that was more than some could say.

Let's get this over with / 'Cause i'm late for work...

Hobbe's found little comfort in the thought that Hanna wasn’t there to receive the news with him that their daughter was ripped apart.

Their silly, blue eyed girl.

His daughter was in the watchful care of the babysitter who he thought he could trust. He was at work when he got the call from Henry. He should have been home. He should have been home. He should have been… If he couldn't stop whatever got in at least he would be dead too.

He lost a bit of himself when his parents died, as all children do. He would never be the same after Hanna. He buried the rest of who he was with Lola Rose. It wasn't anyone's fault; it was just life didn't really cut it anymore.

In an empty house he smoked and drank then went to work. He didn't sleep well if he did at all. It took a year for him to speak to anyone outside of work again. A couple more to pretend he was fine.

He didn't think he'd be fine again until a year ago.

I sold all this land to buy me some dreams…

The whole fiasco with a Romero and a Brit was unexpected and stressful and crazy and... wonderful. Sure, Hobbes had slept around here and there to balm whatever pain he felt constantly in his chest but he never expected to form any real relationship with another human being again. Much less two. For a simple, small town boy this is all quite scandalous for him. And while none of them are perfect, they're making this funny thing they have going work. It's scary. But while Hobbes does a good job pushing Hawk and Matt away at times when things get too heavy they do a good job at always bringing him back.

I been thinkin' you probably should stay…

Fun Facts… (Alternate Title: An Admittedly Long Section Because Hobbes was One of the First Characters I Brought In and I Am a Year Later Writing This Out So Most of His Shit is All Fragmented Bit of Information About His Life. Please Forgive Me.)

- Y'all I went back and SCOURED the discord for facts I might have said about my own fucking character and one of them is that Hobbes is an average sized king standing at 5'7" tall. (At one point I think it was Max that tried to take away one inch and make him 5'6" that is FALSE NEWS smh)

-I've also said in chat: "I've also realized that you probably hardly ever catch Hobbes without his like ranger station baseball cap on. He wears that thing to DEATH"

-He is currently dating both Matthew Walker and Hawthorne Romero. No he doesn't know how he got here.

-Speaking of the Romero's he is very close family friends with them and will stand (has stood) by Mallard's side through the worst of it. He will continue to do so and loves all of the Romero's dearly. It was Hawk who was there when Hobbes' got the call about his daughter and he will forever be in his debt for catching him.

- Used to smoke heavily but has been trying to quit. Had a pretty good streak but broke not too long ago. He struggles with this, but is trying.

-Despite his sleepy disposition he is one of the best damn shots in Huntsville and takes his job very seriously.

-Loves a good sandwich. Truly a foodie.

-Has an american traditional rose tattoo with his daughter's name and birthday on his bicep.

-He likes to read but isn't a good reader if that makes sense. Was never the most book smart but likes to learn.

-Was a wrestler and played rugby in high school. Definitely has some chipped teeth because of this.

-Turned down a position at the hs to be a sports coach/gym teacher to work at the ranger station.

-He has a peanut allergy which I totally forgot about and have no idea how that came to be or why I did that to him. Just for flavor I guess(?)

-Kind of has Jon Snow energy in that like, he's just a guy, thrown into impossible situations and probably should be dead by now but... here he is... He has a better sense of humor though. Kind of a class clown. Maybe uses it to deflect but you didn't hear that from me.

Possible connections…

- Y'all be grateful I got this far lol oh god UM truly a lot of people at least know ~of~ Hobbes he is the Deputy Game Warden after all. Anyone with any sort of proximity to the Rangers have seen him.

-He is such an easy to get along with guy, please reach out and throw whatever ideas at me! He's much less out here in these streets shaking hands and being a leader of the community than Cab but he's still, you know, around and well liked.

-If you're an older native you would know about the tragedy of losing his parents then young wife and then later daughter. But who hasn't been touched by tragedy here.

-Other young parents who have/had kids ages 7+ (Lola Rose passed in 2017 when she was 9)

[soniccrazygal]

@soniccrazygirl and @♪Lullaby_⁜_Anon♪, I have some interesting suggestions for the UCN AU:

This is random but I really love the imagery of Shadow yanking Burntrap by his feet and slamming him into the ground repeatedly like Hulk did to Loki in Avengers before yeeting him into the Blob’s territory to be dismantled.

Michael and Vanessa bond over cooking sweets while helping each other overcome their residual fears with grounding exercises, aside from Shadow helping them with their feelings of disconnect from reality.

Vanessa fears hurting Gregory again, being patient enough to wait till he makes the first interaction with the REAL her. She suffers from phantom pains on parts of her soul that have been scarred by William for refusing his commands. She wants to connect with Gregory and have the same bond as she does with Michael but isn’t sure where to start. The others are surprised that Shadow Bonnie gave her a Glam Bonnie plushie and gets along well with her, until he explained why he has no issues with her.

Gregory suffers from nights where nightmare versions of the Glams attempt to kill him and he has to survive till morning. (Reference to FNAF 4) They begin to vanish when Shadow gives him the Fazerblaster from the Plex, thus making him feel a bit safer at night. He does understand that Vanessa and Vanny aren’t Vanessa but still is afraid of Vanny popping up and killing him again. It gets better after Shadow sits them down for a heart-to-heart.

Gregory, like Michael are slow to leave her alone when it’s revealed she has a fear of isolation, it worsens at night when she has to sleep. Gregory fears starvation from when he was alive, phantom pains of hunger hit him occasssionally, making him double over. Terrance turns to Michael’s mom for help with this since she may have a better grasp on what to do.

OCM contemplates when he became the honorary grandpa that the three go to for advice for dealing with trauma and nightmare therapy for Michael and Vanessa. He does help Vanessa with her lost memories. Headcanon William messing with her memories in an attempt to break her before creating Vanny. Vanessa gets along swimmingly with Michael’s mom and enjoys when she’s around. The same is said for Gregory, after getting over her presence.

The missing children are slowly overcoming their guilt but it’s an uphill battle as they make progress, reminders rear their ugly heads out to push them back down. OCM monitors their progress, even let’s them take a dip in the smaller pool beside his lake to confront the reminders of their guilt.

OCM, Terrance, Gregory, and Michael’s mom are against the others, excluding the mcs, from interacting with Vanessa, there is no trust lost since they don’t believe that the adults WON’T say anything that will spiral her back into depression.

Gregory has indeed terrified and ensured that the nightmares, excluding the Glam-mates, won’t visit after ambushing Nightmare and committing arson on Fredbear and Nightmarrione.

Lots of cool ideas.

[marenwithanm]

Ok I just finished watching all the ending for Ruin and I gotta say, similar to the base game they all just left me with a sense of... "What? That's it?" So many threads left untied. Who is Cassie's dad? How did Gregory/The mimick call her? (No seriously how?? you only get the walky talky once you're already in the Pizza Plex. How did it contact her???) What happens after the "good" ending?? It just cuts off. Does she escape? Does she find the real Gregory?? How did Roxy come back to life. Does Roxy escape with Cassie like how Freddy did with Gregory?? Will we keep having DLC until each animatronic escapes with a separate child? I'm (mostly) joking with that one lol. But seriously, the endings are so abrupt! I get why the normal ending is like that, I actually quite like the normal ending! It cuts abruptly as it's implied that Cassie dies. But that's not the "true" ending, and bad endings like the normal ending aren't nearly as fun when the "good" ending just cuts off and doesn't show us what we want to see!

I don't know, the endings were just so quick and leave so many questions. I know that "it's FNAF, that's the fun of it so you can theorize" but Security Breach isn't really your typical FNAF game, y'know? It's way more complex with full-blown actual characters with personalities and motivations. And yet, this game is the one that doesn't give us complete endings. Even in the old FNAF games, their endings made a complete story. First game, you're a security guard, you survive, you get fired. Complete ending. Fourth game, you're a child terrified of the animatronics and you're killed by your brother. Sister Location you're a security guard and your body gets taken over by an animatronic. Pizzeria simulator concluded almost all of the loose ends of the entire series at the time, ending the tragedy and putting the souls to rest. In ruin, you're a girl looking for your friend. In the "good" ending you take down the creature pretending to be him and then what? Do you go home? Do you see Roxy again? Do you ever find Gregory? The story is left unfinished. It cuts right after the climax with no conclusion. It just feels kinda disappointing. That's not to say the entire game is bad or anything, you can't be disappointed if you weren't excited for something, y'know? But the good ending just feels pretty lackluster, to the point where I'd rather just get the normal/bad ending

Hello,

I am Hanan Al-Salout, a Palestinian mother and child consultant from Gaza. I am writing to you from the heart of suffering, where safety no longer exists since the war has torn our lives apart. 💔😓 My husband and I lost our jobs, and everything we worked for was destroyed under the bombing.

Our home, once filled with the most beautiful memories, is now rubble, and all that is left for us is a torn tent that barely protects us from the cold and rain. My child, Yaseen, who is not even two years old, lives in constant fear. With each winter storm, our situation worsens, and the cold winds and flowing water turn our shelter into a nightmare. 💧🌧️

We move from one tent to another, just to keep ourselves alive and escape the random bombings that continuously target innocent families and children. We have sold everything we own just to survive up to this moment 😢, and now we have nothing but prayers and hope in the hearts of the compassionate 🙏💚

This war is killing our hope and making us powerless to protect our children from its horrors. 💔

My family's donation campaign account is still new and we dream of leaving Gaza until the war is over and rebuilding our destroyed home and before that buying our food, healthy drink and medical supplies. With your support and help we can save our souls and rebuild our lives that were destroyed again 💚

Your help today could be the lifeline that saves us from this nightmare. We are in desperate need of your support and to be reminded that we have not been forgotten 🤍

Helloo- I'ma type out au ideas I have made cause yes u-u

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆▪︎☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Wrenlilah: Delilah died by Springtrap pushing her into his suit, Getting springlocked, And now has spent many years with him. In the future, When William finally makes an illusion disc for him, Delilah asks for a "special" one, So she can appear as a twin sister of William, Wren. William agreed, And Delilah uses the illusion disc if she wants to roam around on her own

Random potential au ideas: Cassie is Elizabeth's soul - Gregory is a mix of CC and Michael's soul - Michael is still a corpse with only half of his soul still attached to it - Cassidy, Andrew, And Jeremy possess the Mimic - Vanessa is Clara's soul - Susie and Fritz are the princess - Vanny is Kerrigan - Glitchtrap/Burntrap is William, He gets an illusion disc to appear human, Gets back with Vanessa/Clara - Charlie and Henry possess Glamrock Freddy - Sammy possesses Glamrock Bonnie - Vanessa/Clara adopted Cassie/Elizabeth and Gregory/CC/Michael

1985 survival: William survived the springlock and Henry had to rush him to the hospital, Glitchtrap had infested by William at this time too because Cassidy created him to torture William since their plan to kill him failed. Glitchtrap ended up making William kill more people though so he was lured to the springlock suit and forced inside it by the spirits, Killed this time, Though Glitchtrap kept him just on the edge of life for this whole time

Future - It continues: William didn't change. Nor did Vanessa or Kerrigan. It's the same as my main just with the fact they kill.

Future - It continues (2): William didn't change. Nor did Vanessa or Kerrigan. It's the same as my main just with the fact they kill. Added Morra and Flare!

Future - Fighter kid: Mary was killed by Kerrigan. | 1983 - Fighter kid: Mary was the second victim of William's.

(SWAP) Future: Henry was the killer, He's changed. William doesn't forgive or like him. | (SWAP) Future - It continues: Henry didn't change, Nor Vanessa. William haunts Henry alongside Cassidy, Andrew, Elizabeth, Evan, Delilah, Cindy, Mary, And Kelsey

Mikevictim: Cassidy(Chica mask) was a very vengeful child, And always hated how Michael treated CC. So one day, She fought him, And had enough. So she brought him to Fredbear, And shoved his head in the mouth. Michael survived, Being the guard in SL, And CC died of a heartattack because of the nightmares seeing the event gave him. (Based on a cai rp)

(SWAP) Milevictim: Henry had 3 kids, Sammy(Foxybro), Michael(CC), And Charlie. Charlie died to Circus Baby, Michael died to Fredbear, Sammy became to SL guard

Vanbeth: (This most likely won't be used) ) If the hw2 Vanny ending is canon, Assuming that was Vanny getting rid of Glitchtrap from her life. Glitchtrap could look towards Elizabeth for "help", She'd agree, And the William and make her an illusion disc to appear as an adult, So she could work at the Pizzaplex, And go around as Vanny.

Millie Afton: Born either as Kerrigan's twin, Or the child Mrs. Dean had with a man she married after Michael died. She would have survived/escaped Funtime Freddy(Prototype) and survived untill she was 21, Dying on the job as a police officer.

Kerricent: Millie and Kerrigan at the same people. She survived Ft. Freddy(Prototype), Became a police officer, Had Vanessa, Before leaving the force and working alongside Vanessa in the future, Getting corrupted, And helping Glitchtrap while Vanessa was stuck as the princess.

Kerricent - The Quest: Everything is the same, Expect Vanessa isn't the princess and she is.

2006 - Fazbear Frights: Millie and Sarah are alive here, And it's really only them in this one. Millie survived Ft Freddy(Prototype) with the exchange of her parents life. Sarah had found Eleanor, But it won't be untill collage she wants to change her appearance fully. As of now, She has got Eleanor to change her body to be feminine (MTF) and that's it. Millie lives on her own, Her grandparents live nearby though and check on her every so often. Millie has a job and does mostly everything on her own, While her grandparents pay the bills to her parents house (They bought the house to Millie could stay there since she didn't want to leave and they worked out a solution). Millie would had died on duty, When she became a police (21 y/o), And Sarah would have died due to Eleanor (Used)

Clara = Funtime Chica: In this au, Clara possessed Funtime Chica after she died as Ballora wasn't created yet.

Clara = Funtime Chica & Ballora: Same thing, Expect after Ft Chica was decommissioned and Ballora was made, She went on to possess her

Past to future/Future to past: I was thinkin that Astrid could have orignally been in the past (2006), But since my world is connected with well, Magic n stuff, I could say she found a being with powers, And had them bring her and her family to the future (Where the story would actually take place)- BuT then I thought, Now I duno if this would somehow mess up the story cause Google is dumb and didn't tell if anything happened to Astrid due to Nexie- BuT- I was thinkin she could have been in the future orignally, And Nexie had powers, Bringing Astrid and her family to the past as some curse or somethin

Eleanor = Nexie (Future to past): Nexie is a form of Eleanor, Seeing as Eleanor "sort of" has powers? Even if it's just an illusion disc

Cassibeth: Elizabeth and Cassidy being the same people. Elizabeth died to Circus Baby and had her soul spilt so she also went onto possess Golden Freddy. And once she began seeing other souls, And found out their killer was her father, She became angry and vengeful towards him

Future to past (2): Nexie had a curse, And a few days after Astrid tried fixing Nexie, She was transported to the past !without! her family (2006). She was found by Millie and Millie took her in, Caring her for like an older sister would.

Marytrap: Mary(1983 AU) possesses Glitchtrap to get revenge for her death

MWD-trap: Mary, William, And Delilah possess Glitchtrap

Title: Regretting You Genre: MM Romance Author: T. Ashleigh Release Date: June 20, 2023

Tyler-

Some days I wish I’d never met Gregory Baldwin.

Then there are days when I feel like I’ll die if he’s away for too long.

It’s like I’m addicted to him. Addicted to the attention he gives me and what he does to me in secret. He has lips made for sin and a body I can’t keep my hands off of, but mostly, I know he has a heart. That’s what keeps me coming back.

Now he’s cruel, malicious, possessive… nothing like the boy I once knew. And yet, deep down, I know that guy is still there under this bad boy exterior. He has to be, or everything we���ve been through is pointless.

Being with him feels like dying and surviving all at once. It’s wild, manic, and soul-crushing, but it’s us. He’s all I’ve ever had and the only thing I’ll ever want.

Because even when I hate him… I love him ten times harder.

Greg-

I’m broken beyond repair, too fucked up to be saved. My mind fights demons daily, while the shattered organ in my chest only causes me pain. I wish I could just end it all. Say goodbye to this miserable existence.

Only, to leave this life would mean leaving him, and that’s not something I can do.

Once I made a promise to a boy that I plan on keeping. The years may have dragged us apart, and I know he hates me now, but that’s okay. I don’t blame him; I hate myself, too. Regardless of the animosity, one thing remains the same: Tyler.

He’s the constant in a haze of self destruction. The one who somehow, after everything, is still there for me, no matter how badly I mess up. I don’t deserve him. I never did, but I’ll never let him go either.

He is mine, and I am his.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

We finally get Greg and Tyler's story! I've been looking forward to this one. We've seen so much negativity from Greg, I really couldn't wait to see what was going on in his head and see why he was the way he was. And ugh. Be ready for the hurt. This story is pretty heartbreaking for Greg and Tyler as they find their way back to one another. Greg and Tyler became friends when they were kids and Greg's mom was like a second mother to Tyler when his own family was anything but. Both were happy and unknowing to them, slowly falling in love. But everything changed the mom Greg's mother unexpectedly died. Greg was devastated and hurt and scared and he did the one thing he could think of to avoid feeling like this ever again. Pushing away the one other person he loved more than anything: Tyler. But pushing him away was the last thing he should have done because the pain of his loss has only grown worse over the next three years. And things are about to crack. Tyler never forgave Greg for pushing him away and hurting him. He can't understand how he can love and hate someone the way he does Greg. He doesn't want to open himself up to him again just to get hurt, yet he can't help himself. These two hit a point and next thing they know, they are hooking up in secret through their senior year. But there are still so many unresolved issues between the two of them. Things that need to be said. And it's only a matter of time until they'll have no choice. Loved this final story in this series! All the feels. Your heart will ache for the two of them and knowing how much pain they both are in. I just wanted to shake the two of them and demand they just tell the other everything they are feeling. Their story is heartbreakingly beautiful and so worth the wait as they figure themselves out and break down and build themselves back up. Such a beautiful series and I'm so sad to see it end!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A New Jersey teacher is in trouble for mistakenly showing his class inappropriate images of scantily clad women.

The teacher, who was not named, was placed on leave after what he was watching on his computer showed up on a projector screen his high school students were watching, according to northjersey.com.

The Paramus High School health teacher accessed the "inappropriate material" on his laptop, which he did not realize was still connected to the wireless projector in the classroom, Supt. Sean Adams said in a report. Students were working independently at the time, but some saw what was projected.

The teacher was placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation, Adams said in a Tuesday letter to the community.

“I regret that the students in the class, and now many other students and families, have been subjected to this inappropriate material,” the letter read, adding that the incident had been recorded by students and posted to social media.

“Counseling support is and will continue to be made available for any student impacted by this incident.”

Gregory Eaton, a proud member of the "Never Miss A Super Bowl Club," is still waiting for his favorite team, the Detroit Lions, to play in the big game. He was at last weekend’s 57th Super Bowl, which saw Kansas City defeat Philadelphia.

Eaton owns a soul food restaurant and is one of only three surviving members of the club, according to Insider.com.

Three of the original "official" members met by chance while standing in line for a Johnny Carson show group; they later met a fourth member, and those four were in a 2011 commercial during the Super Bowl for Visa that was narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Two of those four have since died, and Eaton met the other two surviving members at the 2017 Super Bowl.

One nearly missed the 1972 Super Bowl when he was hospitalized the morning of, but he made it.

Eaton’s first ticket was just $12. The NFL gives the three surviving members a ticket to the Super Bowl for face value each year, according to Insider.

We’ve heard about people who aren’t happy about plastic bags being banned in many places, but this is the next level.

A Korean man allegedly rammed his car into a convenience store in Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province, earlier this month after his request to buy a plastic bag was rejected by the store owner a few months before, according to the Korea Herald.

The driver, who was not named, was arrested at the scene and could be charged with special destruction of private property and retaliatory crime.

Police saw this as a retaliatory crime, as the driver had earlier been accused of harming the owner last November and, according to the report, allegedly spat on the owner when he was told bags couldn’t be bought because of a ban on single-use products.

A long-time employee of a Massachusetts Wendy’s will likely never get an order wrong again.

The male employee was shot at the drive-thru window, according to MYNBC5.com.

The employee is 16 years old, and the scene shows what appears to be a bullet hole through the window, shattered glass, and two bullet holes piercing through Wendy’s drive-thru window.

The teen was transported to the hospital and was expected to be fine. The 17-year-old was grazed but did not require treatment, according to the report.
