I can't remember where I originally read it but I've also seen a couple other people do stuff that's a similar idea and it is not getting out of my brain!!!

Mild CW: mention and slight discussion of depression and numbness, and mention of abnormal eating patterns and anxieties

Pretty much what it was was a theory/headcanon that the reason why Freddy sounds so different in the fazer blast recording compared to his normal talking voice is because he is hella depressed when we meet him in game but is very much trying to hide the fact, obviously not wanting to put that emotional stress on the child who's clearly already under a lot of emotional stress, but he does accidentally let it slip through a few times whenever he brings up bonnie or bonnie is brought up.

But like just the thought of the months or even potentially years (cuz we don't know how long bonnie was gone for but it was long enough for them to replace basically everything mentioning bonnie in the entire pizza Plex except for the bowling alley) that Freddy has been feeling this way with it slowly getting worse and him getting more detached and just numb to everything around him. And I'm pretty sure it isn't very common in animatronics especially those program to live in this fantasy Wonderland or so they're made to think for them to get depressed, we already know stuff is going on with the glam rocks considering chica's compulsive eating habits, Roxanne's anxiety to say the least, Monty's anger issues, even the daycare attendance anxiety and paranoia.

But it also makes a lot of the stuff that Freddy does in security breach make a lot more sense, like why he was so willing to just go against everyone and everything he had known. So willing to burn the place down, and even after just spending a couple extra hours with this random child he bonded with was so willing to just abandon everything and everyone.

If you were to listen to Freddy's thoughts a majority of the time that he wasn't actively trying to help Gregory, you would just hear muffled sounds of things going on around him and TV static, he's just dissociating.

I can't explain it well but to put it simply angsty depresso himbo bear dad!!!!

Also side note

also just the thought of Freddy occasionally burning things and giving into his inner pyromaniac ways but getting away with it because the staff don't think the goody two shoes bear (with the lighter) is doing it is so funny to me XD

Unfortunately, Jesse's luck, and whatever divine providence has been watching out for him all this time, had just run out. He really shouldn’t have packed a white shirt as his backup. That had been asking for trouble.

@nade2308 I blame you entirely for convincing me I would enjoy this show and being right. I love the found team family, especially how Horatio seems to adopt everyone he works with, and of course, because Jesse is a precious sad puppy of a character, I can't seem to keep from making his life hurt even more...

I was halfway into a depressive episode this week and the way my brain had to keep me from thinking about my life problems was to... come up with a new story idea?

I present to you the moodboard of Dangerous Woman, my new Crime Boss x Police Detective AU

God help me, we're back on bullshit.

The Darach grove's history is...a wild one. It's a fairly young grove, founded a little over a century ago by the man who is still its archdruid: Daieran Darach.

Daieran (wood elf druid, Circle of the Land, he/any), was about 250 and having something of a quarter- to mid-life crisis when he struck out from his home grove to sate his restlessness. He was (and still is) a deeply emotional person who falls in love easily. It became, in a way, his downfall, after he met his two companions: Riona Darach and Yazdiin.

Yazdiin (drow monk of Eilistraee, Way of Shadow, he/they) was once a follower of Vhaeraun. Born to surface drow who worshiped Vhaeraun, Yaz discovered that he preferred his god's twin sister and turned his back on the conflict and machinations of most drow. He could still be haughty and standoffish, of course, and it got him into many tiffs with both Daieran and Riona.

Riona Darach (half-elf barbarian/fighter, Wolf Heart, she/her) was the original carrier of the Darach name, and, for a time, its only carrier, thanks to the massacre of her family. (When she was trying to be flippant about it, she called it "a classic story," common among the culture she came from.) Despite her predilection toward rage, she was most often the peacemaker of the three of them.

The three of them adventured together for years, and despite their clashing personalities, found love with each other. They talked of settling down together, perhaps founding their own place: a grove for Daieran, a home for Riona, and a base from which Yazdiin could flit as it pleased him. During these daydreaming discussions, Yazdiin promised with a smile that he would always return.

An omniscient being would have made bets on whose past would bring the three of them ultimately down: Yazdiin's or Riona's. Yazdiin's won. Followers of Vhaeraun, determined to either bring defectors back into the fold or kill them, tracked Yaz down and gave him their ultimatum: return to Vhaeraun or bring the god's wrath down on him and his companions. Yazdiin, still a touch arrogant, refused, believing Vhaeraun could do nothing to a devotee of Eilistraee. Since Yazdiin's devotion to Eilistraee did indeed give him a measure of protection and Riona would have bitten off chunks of anyone who laid unwelcome hands on her, it was Daieran they targeted first.

The Vhaeraunites came for Daieran in the night, as Vhaeraunites do, and brought him before, of all people, Yazdiin's mother. Defiance won over fear, and Daieran declared that her son would never return to Vhaeraun, that he had something better than a promise whispered by a backstabbing, hateful god -- he had love, right here in the mortal realm. His mouth got him punished, and not only physically. Yazdiin's mother, with the power of her god, placed a curse on Daieran that wherever he found love, it would be taken from him. And she released him -- back to the son she hated and who Daieran loved.

Her curse came true when the Time of Troubles came -- and Vhaeraun saw his opportunity to take his revenge. With Eilistraee occupied guiding refugees to her temple, he hunted down Yazdiin, among other defectors, and killed him. Still, Yazdiin did not die in vain or in agony -- he and Riona and Daieran managed to wound Vhaeraun. The (former) god retreated, which allowed Yaz a little peace before he died -- a little time in which to tell Daieran and Riona he loved them, that he would have stayed, and to found that grove and raise their child there.

They did exactly that, growing the grove's first tree on Yaz's grave, and there they married, and there Riona gave birth to a grey-skinned baby.

Still, Daieran's curse remained, and Riona's own past caught up to her in the form of the Bhaalspawn crisis. She found out during their adventures that her family was slaughtered for Riona's own parentage -- that she was, like many others around her age, Bhaalspawn. Though she thought herself safe after her father's death during the Time of Troubles, her heritage doomed her. When her older child was ten (and her younger one with Daieran around seven), the armies of the Five found her and lay in wait for her to leave Darach grove and to murder her. And so Daieran lost a second love.
