WHAT IS MEMENTO MORI ABOUT?

Memento Mori goes into themes of neurodivergency, loneliness, and the intersection between them as a major thing and arguably the most important underlying plot line underneath your typical FNAF SB plot. At the very least it's important to me.

It takes place in the year 2031, with the PizzaPlex having opened in 2025, two years after a canon-divergent FFPS. It's connected to my currently very under construction humanized FNAF1-FFPS AU, All Those Nights.

It starts off when Vanna, a woman who is tired of being nobody and determined to be remembered, sets her sights on the PizzaPlex to try and cause some loud, flashy tragedy that will make her stick in people's memory. With the help of her girlfriend, Anne, who she's known since she was a child and reunited with as an adult, since Vanna faked her death in her teenage years. Anne has a hatred for people and a disillusionment with the world around her, but also holds a sense of morality she tries to bury.

Vanna could have had some morals, but thanks to her past with street violence, she is very desensitized to her own horrible actions and much more ready to go through with this. She has a playful, friendly demeanor that hides horrendous anger issues caused by emotional dysregulation, buried self-hatred, and a sort of spite towards a world where she never fit in.

So, the PizzaPlex.

Through the course of six months, Vanna and Anne hack the Glamrocks one by one, and kill several people to try and fulfill Vanna's goal.

The events of FNAF SB proper follow primarily Glam as the protagonist, with Vivianne as a sort of second POV, as they try to survive, figure out what's happening, and save everyone, while also trying to find Vivianne's sister, who got stuck here with her.

There's also some side plots! Such as...

-Gala, Monty and Roxy slowly coming to realize that what's going on here isn't what they're being led to believe, only to be fully stripped of their free will to ensure they stay in line, something that happened to Melody a while before the events of the plot.

-Sol's initial attempts to get back to safety when they know everything's dangerous, from which they shift focus upon running into Melody, realizing something's wrong, and trying to find a way to help him.

-Luna being a looming presence through most of these plot lines, being just... different. In reality, it's Vanna keeping things in check, while Luna's stuck in the back of his own body, spectating.

-And Vanna and Anne's attempts to get everything back on track as Vanna starts to lose her temper and speed towards her own doom.

There's some doodle comics about Memento Mori floating around my blog, I may link those later.

WHAT IS SECURITY IS IN PLACE ABOUT?

So this AU started as a "yes, and..." bit with a mutual about a FNAF SB dating sim. It's not actually super romance focused but I'm telling you this because the way the story is set up and stuff like the theming surrounding this AU's Vanny makes more sense in that context.

So, the year is 2005, owing to the timeskip between FNAF1 and FNAF3 being cut some.

The PizzaPlex, opened in 2003, has moved on from the horrors of the past. Or most people think that, anyways. Raglan, a king of coping healthily with grief, pulled a small funny move, and designed nearly all the Glamrocks after people from the past.

Astrifer is designed after Henry Emily.

Noctifer is designed after William Afton.

Taiyo and Tsuki are designed after the Puppet, and, in turn, Charlie Emily.

Sally is designed after Susie Beck.

Rox is designed after the Mangle.

Stellifer is exempt from this and an outlier in that. He probably was just bought from a different location and redesigned a bit.

Most people don't notice, or don't care enough to think too hard about it.

Valentine Lovett, the now adult younger sister of Susie Beck, isn't most people.

Valentine is a very sweet and cheerful woman who keeps up such a sickeningly pretty, lovely appearance. In actuality, she is a very disturbed individual whose life was ruined by her sister's death, as her parents couldn't cope with it and traumatized her even further by projecting Susie on her.

Valentine is someone incredibly obsessive and who struggles to come to terms with reality, and she sees the Glamrocks as a revival of people who should have stayed dead. So she's decided she's gonna be the one to make them truly gone. She's also a terrifyingly skilled stalker.

The story is divided into several "routes", with highly differing story lines. However, each character has their route jointed with another, and while the character you pick will mostly be the focus, the events will follow a roughly similar progression for both of those characters.

So, routes:

NIGHT GUARD: Astrifer - Nessa (Hacked: Noctifer, Tsuki)

STAGE CREW: Noctifer - Stellifer (Hacked: The opposite of who you pick. If you pick Noctifer, Stellifer will get hacked, and viceversa)

KITCHEN: Sally - Rox (Hacked: Rox)

DAYCARE: Tsuki - Taiyo (Hacked: Tsuki)

HEARTBREAKER: Valentine (Hacked: Noctifer, Tsuki, Rox, Stellifer, Sally)

ABOUT THE HEARTBREAKER ROUTE...

It is possible to choose Valentine within the story of SiiP. A sort of New Game+ possibility where Bernadette has the chance to meet Valentine early and bond with her first.

This isn't an "I can fix her" story path, however, it's a "She will make you worse" one.

Bernadette is someone who would very much do anything for a person they care about. At the beginning here, when they heard of Valentine's motivations, they thought she had a bit of a point.

So, they decided to help her.

I typically dub this story path's Bernadette either Darling or Heartbreaker, and the story follows their plunge into a full-on corruption arc that lands them as a true, full villain by the end of it, perhaps to an even greater degree than Valentine.

They carefully work their way into ensuring they don't get attached to anyone other than Valentine, manipulate the characters they normally would have bonded with and make them believe they're their friend, ready, at any time needed, to betray each and every one of them for their own gain.

Darling started out not as certain of this, but slowly came to realize they enjoy the thrill of being in control, and started to become a cruel, malicious and silver-tongued person. They still love Valentine deeply, but it's hard for them to truly extend that care to anyone else.

They become the closest SiiP has to a Mimic variant, and this story path leads to SiiP's own version of Security Breach within lore, which would be a lot more focused on mind games and the fear of not knowing who or what you can trust.

There's a Ruin DLC side AU spanning off of it too, but that's in the works.

Westward the Women (1951) William A. Wellman

December 5th 2020

[lifejustgotawkward]

365 Day Movie Challenge (2017) - #260: Westward the Women (1951) - dir. William A. Wellman

Robert Taylor stars in this rousing tale of adventure across the American landscape circa 1851. Taylor plays Buck Wyatt, a guide who leads over 130 women from Chicago to the California Gold Rush region, where eligible bachelors await their brides-to-be. The group of daring female pioneers includes Fifi Danon (Denise Darcel) and Laurie Smith (Julie Bishop), a couple of showgirls who seek a fresh start; middle-aged widow Patience Hawley (the always sublime Hope Emerson), a physically imposing woman who is quite sweet and is a kind of mother hen to the women; Maggie O’Malley (Lenore Lonergan), a sharpshooter who teaches the women how to use guns to hunt and to defend themselves; Jean Johnson (Marilyn Erskine), a woman who has fled Chicago in shame because she is pregnant out of wedlock; and Mrs. Moroni (Renata Vanni), an Italian immigrant who does not speak English and is traveling with her young son Antonio (Guido Martufi).

These colorful characters are enjoyable to watch, even if they don’t necessarily undergo much development over the arcs of their respective stories. The one character who most deserves recognition is Ito (Henry Nakamura), Buck Wyatt’s cheerful sidekick on the journey. Nakamura was a World War II veteran, having served with other Japanese-American soldiers in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team; his film career was brief, but he had a very likeable presence onscreen and it must have been interesting for audiences of the period to see positive portrayals of characters of Japanese descent just a few years after the war’s end.

At just under two hours, Westward the Women is too long and drags in spots, particularly when the film stops to agonize over melodramatic subplots like a thwarted ambush by Native Americans (the scene is cut short when the attackers abruptly leave, so what was Wellman’s point?) and Jean’s romance with one of the trail guides. The “love story” between Buck and Fifi is supposed to be one of the main selling points of the film, I suppose, but I would have enjoyed it more if Buck’s method of taming wild Fifi didn’t include punching her in the mouth. I’m not sure if I’ve seen a more gruesome image in a film recently than the sight of Denise Darcel with blood trickling out of her mouth and hearts in her eyes as Robert Taylor swoops in for the big kiss.

An author tells the story of how, as a young boy growing up in a 1960s small town, he was haunted after witnessing the murder of a little girl.

Writer/Director: Frank LaLoggia

Cinematographer: Russell Carpenter (director of photography)

Visual effects supervisor/Second unit director: Ernest Farino

Selected Cast:

Lukas Haas as Franklin J. “Frankie” Scarlatti

Len Cariou as Michael Phillip “Phil” Terragrossa

Alex Rocco as Angelo Rodolfo Scarlatti

Katherine Helmond as Amanda Harper

Jason Presson as Geno Scarlatti

Rose Weaver as Matty Williams

Henry Harris as Harold “Willy” Williams

Rita Zohar as Mrs. Agnes Cilak

Renata Vanni as Mama Assunta

Angelo Bertolini as Papa Charlie

Joelle Jacobi as Melissa Anne Montgomery

Jared Rushton as Donald

Gregory Levinson as Louie

Karen Powell as Anne Montgomery (Melissa’s mother/”Lady in White”)

Bruce Kirby as Cabbie

Lady in White is Jeff’s pick and he loves the family dynamics depicted in the film coupled with a ghost story that includes racism and a serial killer. Crystal sees traces of A Christmas Story (1983) in the use of a narrator and a young boy who sends away for a prized possession, this time a typewriter instead of a decoder ring. She also lauds future Oscar winner Russell Carpenter’s cinematography and the cast’s acting, singling out Lukas Haas for his cuteness factor. Finally, for her, the combination of child murders and racism coats Lady in White with a patina of sadness. 

Bill describes Lady in White as being good in a lot of ways but just missing the mark of being a great movie. Each element is fine by itself but the humor makes a weird mix in a film featuring a child-molesting serial killer. He also singles out Ernest Farino as a frequent provider of quality visual effects in independent films. It comes through, for Bill, that Lady in White is made by someone who loves the material and loves movies.

As of this writing, Lady in White is available to stream from Shudder. Unfortunately, the Scream Factory Blu-ray is currently out-of-print. 

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Bill, will be Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye (1985), an anthology film starring James Woods and Drew Barrymore, just in time for Halloween.
