#sw lore dump

[safety-writes-noms]

I finally finished drawing the bot! Robots are harder to draw than they look 😢. Anyways here are two brand new oc’s! I may have set myself up since I made the bot’s design kinda complicated and it’ll be a real pain to try and draw again. And he’s a bit wonky. But it’s okay I’m just happy with the results. The bot’s name is Orion, the human’s name is Jane. She was poached from earth and managed to escape by hijacking a pod. She crash lands in a giant city inhabited by huge sentient robots and has to find a way back to earth with the help of Orion. There’s a language barrier between them tho so it makes things kinda hard — especially in the beginning.

Story time!

Fox was having a shity day, and then he was having a great day.

The usual bullshit, politicians, riots, criminal activity, syndicates after his head. He hadn’t slept in 30 hours. He was out of fucks to give.

Palpatine knocked a pen off his desk and asked Fox to pick it up. Fox went blind with rage and shot him on the spot.

Corrie guards standing outside the room poke their heads in, and see what happened. They congratulate Fox and gently chide him for not giving them more advanced notice as they respectfully arrest him.

Fox is in prison for about 27 minutes while they fake his death via stabbing by inmates he had arrested previously. He gets the CT number and armor of an ARC captain and is sent back to work, as per protocol.

Fox decides that this is an excellent time to take a team and go take out the leader of the Black Sun syndicate because they’ve been a pain in the ass for a while now. So he loads up a slug thrower and goes to kill Maul.

Somehow, news of what happened got around rather quickly and many people came to the marshal commanders office demanding an explanation.

Thorn, newly promoted, was not having a good time.

“Fox has been arrested” he explained patiently “he’s dead now tho so don’t worry about it”

“What does our decommissioned batchmate have to do with this?” Cody and Wolffe demand “we’re here about Fletcher”

Thorn forgot about Fletcher.

Well, he didn’t forget. How could anyone forget Marshal Commander CC-1010 Fletcher- oh wait.

Thorn realizes he has Fucked Up. He does not offer further explanation. He just sits down in the shitty little chair behind the shitty little desk in the shitty little office full of generals and commanders staring at him suspiciously and Thorn banged his head on the desk. Maybe if he knocked himself out he wouldn’t have to deal with this.

The universe decides to mock him further. Fives and Dogma, who are supposed to be dead, stick their heads through the door and somehow miss the huge crowd of people.

“Fox just got back and he gave us Maul’s head before heading up to blackmail a senator after dealing with that riot, what do you want us to do with it?”

More lore dump from my Starwars/Daemon AU! This time for Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and a little of the Command Batch!

[mythosaursarecool]

Well I reached my 50 followers milestone so time to deliver on some lore drop stuff for my Mythosaur

So let’s get this ball rolling!

The plan here is three additional posts (maybe more we’ll see) going into more detail on the species this is going to more of an overview. This for now is just some random facts and lore I’ve put together.

Additional Content coming soon:

[Anatomy] [Force Use] [Battle Bonds]

-Written by a lover of world building and theoretical biology

My design came into play because boy oh boy do hate the canon mythosaur design. Like come oooon look at this guy! That’s not the stuff of legend that a weirdo that can stay down at the bottom of his living waters pond

So with the power invested in me by myself and no one else I said "I can do better" and spent the next year and a half designing , scrapping that, Pinterest boarding, then designing again another two times before before I settled on what has become my Mythosaur

Now some lore and random facts~ enjoy my word vomit! More to come with the other posts!

The story of Mandalorian riding mythosaurs as big as cities comes from the fact their bones fossilize into bescar and the great mines span for miles, but there’s not been any confirmation of living mythosaurs that big in any recoded history.

Mythosaurs are highly intelligent beasts, they form what is called a Battle Bond with the Mandalorian they carry into battle. Wile all mythosaurs can form these bonds the ones that do tend to be far and few between as there is a criteria that must be met for this, but more on that in the Battle Bonds post.

It should be noted that wile highly intelligent mythosaurs are also considered highly aggressive too. One can neither run nor hide from them once a Mythos has decided your life is forfeit. They do not take slights easily to themselves or their Mandalorians.

A mythosaurs name has power to it. To know their name does not give you power over them but it does give one the ability to truly know them. They do not give out their names to just anyone.

Mythosaurs are gifted in a few verities of force sensitivities. They can’t interact and move things around like a Jetti can but they can access the Livning and Physical force with practice. Most are skilled in the mind arts to some degree.

There were no known Mythosaur and Mandalorian Battle Bonded pares when the Empire glassed Mandalor. In fact there hadn’t been any known paring since before the Mandalorian civil war

Mythosaurs can resinate with bescar, it’s commonly called making bescar "sing"

Bescar has some interesting amplifying properties for Mythosaurs in the force. They can tether their force signature to teal they are familiar with and track it over large distances wile also being able to sense what’s around the anchor point to some degree.

I have like waaaaayyyy more I can go into here but I want to break things up and go more in-depth on things in separate topic designated posts so enjoy these tidbits! I do this for fun and entirely self indulgent so cheers y’all!

[cosmic-ships]

Glad I didn't post my lore with Anakin. Cause I'm changing it. lol FOR THE 3RD TIME help

Man my self insert has had some changes at first it was gonna be Jedi training in their later adult years > vito the Jedi idea and instead have them as a force sensitive who really does not give two shits about Jedi and stuff and instead is a gambler > to vitoing that idea to be a bounty hunter who acts like they're tough shit but sometimes is caught giving themselves pep talks before hunting g for a bounty. Also did I mention they're EXTREMELY fucking clumsy? Like....drops their blaster in the sand and some grains get into it and now suddenly its not firing so they have to resort to hand to hand. I'm the luckiest worst bounty hunter in the galaxy simply because when it goes wrong I still manage to complete what I was set out to do! Well nine times out if ten at least 😂

[clone-wars-retteyo-au]

Clone Wars Retteyo AU Lore: Changes in Intergalactic Perspectives

When a few pro-clone-freedom planets and civil-rights groups began spreading little bits of propaganda around, attitudes started to shift (propaganda isn’t always bad, ya’ll). People’s attitudes started changing, and clones were viewed in a more positive light. Yes, there were still a few supremacist groups, but they were more judged, and fewer clones/Retteyans had to walk the streets with fear. Some people would even thank them for their service/salute them (which sometimes caught the clones off guard a little, but they appreciated it nonetheless).

One of the most effective pieces of propaganda were a specific set (mostly made independently of each other) of films/documentaries/docuseries highlighting the “humanity” and individuality of the clones, showing that they are people with thoughts and feelings. The first one was created by one of the hivemind civilizations. It was a series of interviews with some former clone cadets and shinies who just started fighting before the war ended. These interviews highlighted their personalities and what made them unique, as well as their relationships with each other. It was well liked for being extremely charming and was well received, though some claimed that a lot of it was faked.

The second documentary to come out was a piece covering the life of the average clone trooper during the war, what it was like to be on the battlefield and how they were treated. This documentary raised a few questions and was a bit more controversial, as it made the Republic and even the Jedi look a bit bad. However, it tried to remain more lighthearted while being pretty honest, talking a bit about the war in general and what it’s like to be a soldier.

The third documentary was a bit more serious and told the stories of individual clones who died during the war, interviewing squadmates/fellow soldiers/superiors, reviewing documents, even looking at pictures that had been taken during bits of down-time. It was legitimately heartbreaking and one of the most popular out of all the documentaries. It felt a lot less like propaganda and a lot more personal and kind of raw, and was consistently watched by people even years after it first came out.

The fourth documentary was possibly even darker, interviewing the older and more experienced soldiers as they talked about some of the trauma they faced due to the war and other things. It became complicated in terms of how people view it on a broader level, but was one of the most watched and discussed documentaries out of all the clone-centric documentaries distributed during this time. It was actually a more independent film made primarily by Retteyans and former clones that was supposed to be geared towards Retteyans to help them collectively process their trauma and teach younger generations about what the older generations had gone through. It wasn’t actually really meant to be watched by natborns.

But a human visiting Retteyo ended up seeing it and got a digital copy, then began illegally distributing it. Due to miscommunication issues, some theaters on planets like Coruscant (if they have movie theaters there) thought the film’s creators gave them the go ahead to play it, and so the masses across multiple planets ended up seeing it. This ended up causing a bit of a publicity crisis for the Senate and Kamino, as the documentary revealed some darker stuff that was less well known about. This was a bit distressing for the documentary’s creators and those on Retteyo, as they feared backlash from the Republic and issued a formal apology, stating that the documentary was meant solely for Retteyans and wasn’t meant to be publicly distributed.

To be more specific, the documentary involved former clone troopers talking about a wide variety of topics: the friends they lost during the war and the stress that caused them; the experience of witnessing the death of brothers on a constant basis; the loss of Jedi Generals; the somewhat abusive environment on Kamino; some of the underlying abuse committed by natborn superior officers (such as the Umbara incident, which has its own long section); the mindset of seeing oneself as disposable; and learning how to be your own person. Possibly a few other things. Generally very dark and depressing.

While the first and third documentaries humanized the clones, the fourth made the clones much more sympathetic figures and increased public support for their rights and the funding of Retteyo’s creation.

The fifth and perhaps final documentary that sealed the deal was one less focused on the clones and more on multiple groups. It was about the full history of the fight for clone rights and why many groups supported them. It made people understand the context of legislation and movements involving clones, and the anti-clone sentiments have mostly died down into non-existence, turning now into support.

Setting the Stage Ch. 3

Ahsoka's sleep is troubled. Flashes of images play behind her eyes. A dark red glow burning at the edges of her visions. Sometimes it looked like fire or lava and sometimes it moved like a lightsaber. Too dark to see. Too bright to look at.

Voices fill her ears fighting each other for her attention. She strains, trying to decipher even one of them. Trying to identify at least who is talking to her. But the voices clamber over each other in a mindless cacophony.

She startles awake still tucked into the couch in Padme's office. Just one voice still audible whispering through the still night air.

"Wake up." it urges.

------

It took me a year to write this chapter but I intend to get the ball rolling on the lore end of "A Series of Interviews". The fix it is gonna need to start fixing it. lmao.

The chapter pics up from the morning after her trial. And the next several days of Ahsoka's life are gearing up to be the most challenging and transformative of her life.

(Shout out Sprite, thanks for your help babe)

My dads disney subscription ran out, I need someone to inject mandalorian lore directly into my brain before i go insane from hyperfixation while i cant watch tcw

[succstosucculent]

So if Morgan Elsbeth is a descendant of a surviving Night Sister of Dathomir, and AFAIK Ventress was the only one that survived Dooku’s massacre of the Night Sisters during TCW, does that mean…someone fucked Ventress?

some star wars oc rambling for tonight!! - alyx

i really wanted to work on my new oc alyx (nyx earlier, i changed her name recently) and her latest updates, but of course school, work and personal stuff devour all of my free time for drawing lately. that's why i decided to write down some backstory ideas and fun facts i got during these last few days instead. enjoy :))

alyx is an albino!! that's why she can't (and hates to) stay in the sun for too long. she rarely visits sunny planets, but when she really needs to, she wears white, covering, yet thin clothes.

she also has polycoria in her left eye (two pupils on one eyeball), which is her biggest insecurity, that's why she keeps it covered by a bandaid and her thick bangs.

as a child, she was trained for a jedi in a complete secret in an abandoned ilum temple, until she was taken by a snowtrooper batalion during their hunt for her master

since then she was trained for the first order assassin, meant to be sent for anyone unwanted entering the planet

the trainings were in fact inhumane, forcing alyx not only to often overwork herself, but also stay in the cold and even complete darknedd for long hours. such treatmeant not only affected her physical health, but also ruined her mentally.

the harsh climate heavily damaged her nostrils, causing her to get severe nosebleeds while staying outside for too long.

in her early-adult years, the effects of childchood trauma surfaced, causing ptsd and strong anger issues, often let out by alyx on others.

woah, did i promise funfacts? haha gottem! none of my ocs are safe from the unspeakable trauma >:))

still, i'm so glad i was able to finally write it down, all nice and clear. hopefully soon i'll be able to draw some more of alyx (maybe even with kylo? *wink wonk), but for now that's all i can offer you about her

and maybe some doodles i made in class, that too

(i should be asleep long time ago, but this post in my drafts wouldn't let me sleep in peace)

[coyotemasquerade]

okay lore dump time (subject to change)

She is a Professional Lair Designer, like if anyone needs an evil lair designed, she is an expert in that. Probably helped Collin design his secret lair.

She is also a part time creature trainer, primarily training akk dogs but open to training any creature really. She owns two akk dogs, I think they are named Red and Shadow but not sure.

She would be the type to just call them dog at first but then realize that gets confusing so actually gives them names habklweh. I think her akk dogs are trained to protect her but she is actually probably more protective of them so its hard for them to their job lol.

She has venom in her tail but its like a limited amount. She would only sting someone as a last resort/if she really really hated them. She definitely has done this before, enough to have a reputation and for people to know its deadly.

I think something happened to her jaw/throat but I don't have that defined yet.

in complete contrast to my lil cookie drawings here is this habkl; weh

Uhhh epic star wars girl boss concepts

Her name is Dana

[safety-writes-noms]

Back again with my daily ask: how was the whole “eating people thing” even introduced to mark? How did unu know that that was something he was capable of; and is it only a dreamscape thing because you said that unu could exist in the human plane for a little while before he started ripping it apart, so have there ever been experiences where he had to go full protecc mode? I’m forcing you to flesh out your world muahaha

Hi!! I love ur asks!!

Gosh darn, guess I really gotta start thinking about my silly characters what a predicament /j

But yeah, noms were introduced to mark as a sort of emergency option. It’s like a speedy version to help heal mark from some injuries. Or at least speed up the process. It’s one of the ways unu can safely infuse his energy into mark via dream. The other way would be through bonding but since they already had that happen they can’t re-bond. 

If mark is injured in the outside world, the injuries pop up in the dream world as well. One time he didn’t listen to unu when he was like “um u prob shouldn’t try to kill that one yet since it’s really strong and stuff. I’ll do it real quick, k?” And then mark got frustrated since he’s basically been coddled for the past months since Roman passed and he still desperately wants revenge. He’s done nothing but train, so surely he must be ready, right? Nope. he almost died when he tried to kill the monster :D. So then unu had to teleport mark out of there real quick, go down to earth himself, and finish it as fast as possible.

Unu had to commence emergency noms to help him out. Best believe that he scolded mark heavily while he was healing. Inside of unu’s belly is pretty soft and squishy. It’s mainly just for healing since he doesn’t really need to eat like a human would. So maximum comfort from a prickly god. Since unu is actively giving his energy (or life force) he gets kinda loopy afterwards and often has to ‘sleep’ it off. He doesn’t actually sleep but he does get lethargic after big healing sessions. So he’ll be a pretty small flame when he accompanies mark around earth. 

Sometimes he noms mark for time out. It’s inevitable that the kid will see him every night when he goes to sleep or when he zones out in the middle of class and unu has picked up a tendency from all of his past avatars to gulp them down when they’re stressed out. When he does this, he’s not really giving them his energy, but taking away theirs.

It’s sorta like the way he feeds. He takes the negative emotion and absorbs it. He doesn’t need it but it does give him a small boost. Or a significant one. It just depends on how stressed the avatar is. Either way, unu is satisfied with a good meal and the comfortable weight of his human nestled away.

[evilminji]

Hey Minji! A thought for your Star Wars things!

Who ever said the SI-OC was the only one to get dumped in SW? Just. A Creche that has several Reincarnations/Transmigrants.

Oh? My god? Just... the FIRST thing that popped into my head? Was the image of one of those "we are so Unbelievably Overworked We No Longer Fear You Nor Death" Sort of office workers/team of workers(nonspecific)?

Just... fuckin EVERYBODY knows Star Wars. Not everybody focused on the same PART of it, but the DO know it. So OBVIOUSLY? The Force decided it should bring in an A Team.

It Did Not ASK the A Team.

They are... like? 4. And sitting in a soft foam, brightly colored Creche, in their lil Jedi rompers, all sitting in a circle, looking at each other like... ( -_-) (-_- ) you too, huh?

Yeeeeeep. (God does Jerry want a cigarette. Jerry gave them up in his 20s. But he's KINDA GOING THROUGH IT, okay?!) (Sarah is hyperventilating in the corner. Her KIDS! Oh GOD. Her KIDS! She was on the way to pick them up from SOCCOR PRACTICE!!!)

Just? This whole ass team of "yeah, we know the LORE, but buddy, pal, we had LIVES! What the FUCK. Star Wars was a HOBBY!" Type adults? No one is happy and everyone wants to choke the metaphysical concept of The Force with their itty, bitty lil baby hands.

They may RIOT.

And like? Do to sheer NUMBERS? They make up ALMOST a full Creche?

Almost.

There is like... one? Maybe two? Actual Jedi Babies™ in their group? It's A Team... plus our collective children. Whom we parent. The MOST baby of babies. Also the spokesperson when they want to fool anyone into thinking they're "normal".

I want Jerry to have a fake cigarette. He's looked up death sticks and like FUCK is he putting that shit in his body, but dear LORD are the oral fixation and mental effects of a past addiction still both real, and a pain in the ASS.

If you try and TAKE his fake ass, hand made, bespoke not-a-cigarette from his itty bitty lil baby hands? He will take your KNEES. These FUCKERS won't even let him have COFFEE. Let him HAVE THIS. *hisses from the walls*

I want them to be ☆~Nightmare Children~☆

They have the power of The Force, various past life skills, an uninterrupted access to the galaxy's BIGGEST LIBRARY, close proximity to FAR too many senator AND their living spaces, and? An actual negative number of fucks to give. They can take shifts. Tag team. Be creepy, horrible, terrible, God awful nightmare creatures climbing out from your WALLS.

Somehow they keep escaping.

Down through the lower temple as they examine the hidden tunnels and escape routes. Through the vents. Forcing other jedi to become VERY familiar with where those pathways are. Sure hope THAT won't someday save your lives! Ya ungrateful, "you're grounded, stop sneaking out younglings" BASTARDS! So rude!!

The camp out in the Corrie Gaurd office. Bring the babies.

Here, you seem stressed, random gaurd. Hold a Jedi Baby. They radiate sunshine and good vibes. Are literally the Anti-Old-Man-Sith. We brought caffeine and food from the temple. Are willing to follow you around like "adorable ducklings" on patrol under the excuse that we're "training" for when we get our own soilders.

Sure is INCONVENIENT for all these asshole senators to has a witness, huh?

You gaurd my back, I'll gaurd yours. And if a certain long neck trips near the stairs? You didn't see SHIT. I'm BABY. How could I POSSIBLY have the control to do that? Now excuse me... we need to practice our "we Jedi Children can stare into your SOOOOOULS, we See All Your Sins." Wide Eyed Unblinking Predator Stare.

(O.O) (O.O) (O.O)

[m00ntunaart]

I Just realized I should just post the lore dumps instead of reblogging the original posts with them.

So here’s some of the plot related stuff/thoughts I have for my Starwars/Daemon AU in relation to The Bad Batch!

[kxmpfflieger]

Hey, you made me feel sad for your dies-in-every-timeline-TF OC and I would love some more thoughts and lore about her plz. I will fill a cup with my tears if it pleases you

NO THATS NO NEED --

Dumping all my thoughts under the cut cause this might get long! Sorry if the writings feel scattered.

Her name is Wraith, a Decepticon with a motorcycle as an alt mode. She favours stealth above all, so she prefers to fight with swords rather than blasters.

I havent finished all the IDW comics so I can confidently only speak on her Prime lore -- She's on board the Nemesis practically from day one. Wraith gets pushed around a lot (mostly by Starscream) because she hates practically every word that comes out of his mouth. She's very much like a stubborn teenager so anyone trying to command authority over her just gets on her bad side. Despite Megatron, who has managed to earn her respect (also cause yk. hes scary)

Other bits of lore include

shes besties with Knockout and Breakdown, mainly beacuse they're also land vehicles like her (shes incredibly emotionally avoidant so even this bit of friendship is an achivement).

She's close to Soundwave mostly by proxy of my other oc Pulseblade fussing over her like a mother (I ship Pulse and SW so thats how he ends up being tied to Wraith)

Airachnid freaks her the fuck out. I think TFP Starscream is very "bark and no bite", whereas Airachnid really isnt that, so where threats from Screamer dont really do anything to Wraith, when they come from Airachnid she's more likely to take them seriously.

Wraith has a bad history with being abused and mistreated from the war back on Cybertron, which has caused all kinds of problems w emotional attachments (and behavioural issues)

Starscream ends up killing her at some point in the series. He makes it seem like an accident and blames it on the Autobots. Pulseblade takes it the worst out of everyone, even if she's comforted by Knockout on the matter (this is sometime after Breakdown is also killed). I think this will lead Pulseblade to defect, essentially giving up on the war. In my head she somehow finds out Wraith was assassinated by Starscream (maybe by Rachet, since they used to be coworkers at some point so she'd be more inclined to believe him) which will then lead her to become an Autobot.

Because Wraith dies in Prime she'd also not show up in RiD, although Pulse does make a return. I think it'd be fun for Wraith to haunt the narative in some way. Wraith is also dead in Earthspark, and Shattered Glass. ES Megatron and Bee remember her fondly so maybe her memory gets to inspire the Terrans or something.

I REALLY LOVE THE TERRANS every bit of me wants Wraith to be around for Earthspark for the character interactions but ooouhghghh omg i love angst :(( idunnoo

i just generally am fascinated by the post-war cybertron narrative, which is why im debating her place in earthspark and i want her alive in the idw continuity

[puhpandas]

I WOULD LOVE A WHOLEPOST ABOUT UR THOUGHTS ON HOW THE UPDATE SOLVED HW2 FOR U

THANKS BESTIE. here we go

so my first thought when I watched the hw2 update was "wow, they really updated hw2 just to add more random disconnected from anything hw2 has going on lore of mxes and most of all just to tease sotm bc they refuse to show any footage of it". the sotm stuff doesnt have a deeper meaning, it's literally just to build up hype, but the very nature of them dumping lore into a hw2 update seemed so... strange. and it made me think deeper about it

I mean they virtually just updated a game that wasnt about the mimic before to be about the mimic, and also to show off mxes lore and explain a little more about it. completely ignoring the sotm hype, mxes lore is so random and doesnt match or fit with anything else hw2 had going on

but hw2 itself was all over the place, not having a comprehensible plot and seemingly just having a bunch of random little plots that didnt have an overarching story. like glitchtrap being killed in the vanny ending, roxys node being a mask and not her endoskeleton, and killing off Cassies dad (I'll get into him later)

so that made me wonder if hw2 was SUPPOSED to be all over the place from the start. my first impression with this update is that they updated the game to explain lore in the mimic era that they wouldnt be able to explain in sotm. that came off as them like, shoving it in somewhere so they didnt have to find a way to talk about it AFTER sotm. and it just kinda clicked for me in that moment. the very nature of killing glitchtrap (the main thing that happened in hw2) and all the other teeny tiny plotpoints that were disconnected from eachother being included was the entire point of the game

we all know they're. fucking obsessed with sotm. they're constantly hyping it up and talking about it and every single release since security breach has been working to foreshadow/tease it. it doesnt take a genius to realize that this is supposed to be a big game. it's the end of this era to me, that I've been calling "the course correction era". everything theyve been doing really has been incorporating the mimic into the games, and this update confirmed talesgames. killing glitchtrap also is securing mimics place as his replacement

so like, if sotm is theoretically the end of an incorperation/course correction/mimic lore era, then that means any loose ends theyd need to tie up quick, and that's where hw2 came in. ruin was the mimics first appearance, hw2 is the game that ties up tiny loose ends here and there, and sotm will be explaining everything mimic so we can more into an actual present day story progression era

tldr I think hw2s entire purpose was to be a game to dump any tiny story aspects they needed to establish or debunk or whatever before fully jumping into the new era after sotm. I always thought "itd be so much better if they did ruin and then sotm with no hw2, bc it's just so nothing" but maybe the nothing was on purpose. it's so they dont have to do it later and they get some explaining out of the way. that's why them shoving mxes lore into the game in an update felt so on purpose, when everything hw2 had done had felt so directionless. it kinda put it in a new perspective for me

and as for cassies dad, who is probably the protag, I think it explains the entire point of his character existing, which was so lost to me before. his character exists just to be the protag of hw2. he gets IMMEDIATELY killed off in the ending of the game, had no face or name or character other than being the father of a more important character, and was more of an introduction to the concept of vanni technician masks and fazwrenches and stuff. he exists to be the guy in hw2, the game that only exists to tie up little loose ends, bc that game just needed a player character, and then he dies.

he doesnt have anything crazy going on, like (people thought for a while, but it was debunked in the john sw interview and also in this update) building mxes, or setting up the nodes. almost all of that has been debunked with Gregory vanessa and Freddy consistently being associated with mxes multiple times, and their footprints being around ruin where nodes would be set up. they're clearly being implied to be responsible for the nodes/mxes in the basement and taking them from the factory to do so/and trapping the mimic. I feel like his character was always meant to be a throwaway, I mean goddamn we know nothing about him.

and also, Scott has shown to be randomly obsessed with assigning adult men in fnaf games with being a past fnaf 4 bully with itp also having Freddy bully, so I doubt the bonnie tie ins have any more significance than just a little cute callback reference. it's just that. anything he had before the john SW interview and this update has been debunked, with major evidence pointing towards other characters (who it SHOULD be doing all that stuff), so its just. it makes him make so much sense. he was so infuriating before bc he seemingly did tons of important shit but was so.. not important, but i feel like enough time has passed and stuff have happened to show that he didnt ever have that stuff going on. he was always a one-off character to give the lore dump game a protag, then he was killed off immediately. hes another jeremy of the franchise. just there to serve the plot and then die

it also makes narritave sense. cassies story cant head in any other direction (& just the story as a whole) than vanny!cassie, and Cassies dad being dead takes away one of the support systems she would have thatd keep her from being manipulated by mimic. it removes parents from the situation for her and makes it like. more possible ig that shed even be in this situation not being helped

anyway, that's what I've gathered from this update. maybe I'm crazy but this update has cleared up a lot of things for me personally, and I hope I'm right about this stuff. cassies dad being one-off and a jeremy would be infinitely more narritavely satisfying than him being in charge of the stuff with ruin then just. fucking dying. it also makes perfect sense for how they treat his character

and more evidence supporting Cassies dad being made to be hw2s protag: ruin and hw2 were made at the same time. it was a year and a half of radio silence before they announced both hw2 and released ruins trailer in the same week in 2023, and then ruin and hw2 released 5 months apart, with both games referencing eachother in them. they made these side by side, so itd line up perfectly if they knew they needed a protag for hw2 that would be disposable, so they made Cassies dad, and made him only exist as a character in collectable descriptions and 1 line from cassie. ruin also foreshadows 'carnival' (aka sotm) in its ending w the mascot costumes in the room it was trapped in, so sotm was 100% planned and prob in development at this point, meaning this whole lineup of course correction was thought out

anyway thanks for enabling me anon! plz lmk ur thoughts! this course correction era has been. very infuriating, since we didn't even have a single clue why they were doing the story like this until sotm was announced, and it cleared up their intentions and plans at least for me. its actually making me so much more excited. theyve just been speeding through getting the mimic and stuff incorporated already so they can move on. it's nice to see and to know that even tho this stuff has taken a long time to come out, at least they're not purposefully spreading it out and dragging it along. they're just doing it until they're done. and if the code of 4625 in the update is really a release date, then April 6 isnt even that far away. we can be free soon!!
