#like oh joy i figured out why storyteller has no stripes wowie exciting

One last note before I go to sleep...

Credit where it's due, the pieces of the puzzle are mostly all there in terms of the connection between The Storyteller story and The Mimic. The pieces missing aren't relevant to Mimic at all, and can be gleaned from what makes sense/what's interesting for the characters to do. Things like why the Storyteller lacks stripes and where all of the behaviours the animatronics gain were learned by Mimic before, are things you can piece together by thinking about it for a long enough time...

But the execution of the actual story makes this process incredibly unsatisfying. The pieces were there in a lot of cases, and then everything else flopped. It's amazing just how much I can figure out about Mimic's behaviour from these two stories purely because of how amazingly underwhelming these things are. Like yeah I can piece this stuff together on my own... But the vagueness of it all has impacted the story so much that I almost don't care. I'm literally only doing any of this for AU purposes for my GAME blorbos not the typically horribly made book ones. I literally would not be thinking about this anymore if I wasn't compelled by just how fucking awful it is and my game blorbos.

Like... Come on... There's even gaps in between all of these puzzle pieces too like... It's so unsatisfying to put the pieces together man... Oh yay! I understand why Mimic did that! ... I want to do something else... Let me live please this sucks...
