Besides your MLP au, what other kind of crossovers you think would be cool for tftgs? I like to do this thing while reading it where I imagine characters from some other thing I like in the place of the cast when I thought it fit.

I like to think of a fnaf crossover with it a lot. Like after the events of FNaF 6, Michael lives out of spite and is determined to live a normal life as a final fuck you to William. So he moves far away and tries to find a job.

The only problem, hiding the corpse thing is difficult. He tends to go by the alias "John Doe" for his own amusement, and wears a cheap white mask for a prosthetic. Because, he could only get a job in the gas station and ends up taking Calvin Ambrose's role due to his management experience.

I also like to think Jeremy and Phone Guy work there too, since both are disabled (jeremy is paralzyed and has lots of brain damage from the bite, and PG is blind) but need the extra money since neither can afford caretakers and extra stuff. Its complete coincidence

Me during Calvin's racist rant in Volume 2:

Tales from the Gas Station Volume Two

When I was a teenager, I worked a brief stint at McDonalds.

The shift manager/supervisor was this absolute dipshit who thought his clip-on tie of seniority somehow made him the grease-splattered god of our deep-fried domain.

Like, at this stage I've long forgotten his name, but I remain convinced he was having sexual relations with that fucking tie.

All this to say, Calvin Ambrose has such strong micromanager energy that within three lines of his intro, I'm getting flashbacks to that clip-on tie fucking asshole.

I bet he melted too. That would have been just like him.

Calvin Ambrose: Can I get your phone number?

Jack, visibly texting: I don’t have a phone.

[incorrectquotesfromthegasstation]

Calvin: I hate you people!

Jerry: I know you do!

Calvin: Why am I here!?

Jerry: I know you hate us, especially me!

Calvin: I could be working at a toll booth...

Jerry: That would be preferable!

Jack:...

Jack: Could you get that job?

ANYWAY on that note. i have a ramble locked and loaded and ready to fire into the atmosphere for all six of my gas station faves. i have a lot of feelings about all of them. and sabine and vanessa and brother riley and- [starts listing characters and doesn’t stop for ten minutes]

hi hi hello I don't know very much at all about tftgs aside from You Like It So It Must Be Cool, can I mayhaps coax some Rosa Rambles out of you? :O

hi hello thank you that is very kind,,,,,,,, i'm running on Stress Stress Anxiety Brain rn so i don't know how coherent this will be but talking about blorbos helps me feel better so i will Attempt A Ramble.

the tl;dr for tftgs is that it's a horror-comedy series that i have been fixated on for a hot minute and that i am almost constantly rotating in the background of my mind. it is INCREDIBLY problematic™ in several ways and i do have a lot of issues with it

(namely its handling of disabled/neurodivergent characters and ableism is Not Great at the best of times, there are minor characters who use a lot of nasty derogatory language that makes me super uncomfy even though i Know they're at least not Celebrated for that and are condemned by the narrative, and also a lot of the characters are just fucking MEAN to each other)

but something about it scratches an itch in my brain that i didn't know was there. i love the characters (or at least my six faves, but there's a lot of others i adore even if they're not My Blorbos) so dearly and i am going to scoop them up and run away with them at high speeds to give them the happy endings they deserve.

this is also where i reveal i haven't actually finished reading the series in its entirety yet because i am a slow reader. i did rewrite chapter one of the first book tho as like a writing exercise, and i posted some of that here if anyone wants to check that out (shameless self promo). (No pressure or obligation tho)

okay rosa rosa rosa my beloved darling rosa. i am going to talk about some of my headcanons for rosa and also share some of my favorite Rosa Moments in the series. i will put this all under the cut b/c idk how long this will be <3 i will avoid spoilers as much as possible in case anyone reading this wants to maybe check out the series (though if you do feel free to reach out for like. a list of relevant triggers/content warnings, b/c i am happy to provide).

ROSA VASQUEZ my darling. okay so rosa is a character introduced in the second book, and she is a d e l i g h t. like... the whole series centers around a group of people who work at a shitty gas station next to a shitty small town, and rosa is introduced as one of the newest employees at the gas station.

rosa is just. baby. and i don't mean that in an infantilizing way, i mean that in an I Love This Character way.

she's introduced as this incredibly sweet, bubbly gal who's excited to work at the gas station despite the fact that the people there keep treating her like shit even before she's hired. i'm not going to talk about calvin ambrose (a minor character in book two) in depth but i am going to hunt him for sport for being both sexist AND racist towards rosa. and for other reasons but that's a big one.

one of my favorite things about rosa is that like... the protagonist, jack, misses her first day of work SEVERAL times and so he can't train her!!! and eventually she gets so fed up that she comes to confront him! because rosa is a sweetheart but also she stands up for herself and others and I LOVE THAT.

and of course she's not mean but she does tell him off BUT when she finds out he had uh. very important and understandable reasons. she apologizes and he apologizes and anyway rosa and jack being nice to each other and being friends. it brings me joy.

and anyway rosa ends up telling jack that she's not going to work at the gas station actually, and she and jack wish each other well.

BUT S I K E HER NEW WORKPLACE ~MYSTERIOUSLY BURNS DOWN~ AND JACK'S BOSS TELLS HIM ABOUT IT BEFORE THE NEWS KNOWS ABOUT IT. AND THEN TELLS HIM TO MAKE SURE ROSA WORKS AT THE GAS STATION. WEIRD VIBES BUT OK!!!

anyway ok actual favorite rosa moments.

my favorite rosa moments from book two:

when jack is training her on and she is taking Super Careful Notes in a little notepad and taking the job Very Seriously

when jack runs out of things to train her on and she ends up like. deep cleaning the gas station out of frustration.

when she finds the box of videogames in the closet and gets REALLY EXCITED until she finds two dead mice in there. and then she asks jack if they can hold a funeral for the mice.

the mice funeral, where rosa gives an adorable and heartfelt eulogy for the mice

"rosa i'm sorry but you were floating off the ground and chanting in a voice that wasn't your own and we panicked" "oh. i'm sorry. i didn't mean to."

rosa just. she brings me joy. she is a delightful breath of fresh air in this series and even though jack is my All Time Favorite, rosa is up there too.

anyway uhhh some Rosa Headcanons That I Believe Are Canon And You Can't Tell Me Otherwise:

rosa is trans. i refuse to entertain arguments about this. how do i know? i just know.

she is also really short!!! she and jack are both incredibly tiny and everyone else is tall

i headcanon rosa as a biromantic asexual mainly b/c that's what i headcanon jack as, and i think the idea of them having that Solidarity is a super cute concept.

i like the idea of jack and rosa as having a kind of sibling-type bond. that's my ideal relationship dynamic with them.

rosa is implied to be one of the youngest/probably The youngest member of the main cast so i like to think she's a somewhat recent college grad who's just trying her best.

she absolutely likes baking. you cannot convince me otherwise.

in my AUs and such, rosa has a cat. he is a sphinx cat and his name is Mister.

okay this is long but uhhh last thing i will share. i do have some Art of rosa but tbh i'm not super happy with it </3 i will instead share a meme i made with tupperbot with rosa. a quote that i think sums her up as a character.

[Image Description: A screenshot of a discord message created with tupperbot. The message is from Rosa Vasquez, and reads: "I'm a nice person, but I'm about to start throwing rocks at people." End ID.]

i am easily coerced give me tftgs for 001

hi peach hello thank you for indulging me ASDFJKL; <33

Favorite character: Jack Townsend ❤ the most special guy in the world Least Favorite character: Calvin Ambrose tbh,,,, every other character has at least Something redeeming or interesting about them. Not him tho 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): OH BOY LET'S GO!! Jack/Jerry (jackerry) Jack/Antonio (jantonio) Jack/Spencer (jencer) Antonio/Jerry (idk if there's a name for this one tbh-) Amelia/Rosa (also don't know if there's a name for this one but it's cute) Character I find most attractive: ,,,,, probably Spencer Middleton,,,, ngl,,,, I think he's neat Character I would marry: Jerry!!!! He'd treat me right ❤ Character I would be best friends with: I wanna be best friends with Jack and hug him A random thought: The shapeshifter arc/Christmas special in the original creepypasta is, in my opinion, a genuine masterpiece of horror and it only gets better in the actual books. An unpopular opinion: I don't know if this is really an unpopular opinion or anything but every day I get closer to becoming an actual Spencer Middleton apologist just b/c I think the way aspects of his character are handled in the books is uh. Kinda clumsy at best. My Canon OTP: Uhhh I'm not super into the canon pairings in general but. Jack and Sabine, I guess!!!! Their relationship seems like it was super sweet and sad and I wish they could've had a happy ending. My Non-canon OTP: DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE ASDJFKL;. Okay. It's a three-way tie between jackerry, jantonio, and jencer probably asdfjk;l. They're all special to me in different ways. Most Badass Character: The shapeshifter in volume two. I'm obsessed with her (also I use she/her for this character b/c I headcanon her as transfem) Most Epic Villain: Spencer is such a fascinating character and villain to me and I love him so dearly. Pairing I am not a fan of: Honestly,,, I don't like pairing Amelia and Jack together in any kind of non-platonic sense. Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I have a lot of hot takes about Spencer and how he's written but I won't go into those here <3 Favourite Friendship: JACK AND JERRY!!!! Their friendship brings me joy <3 Same also for Jack and Rosa, because I love those two as best friends/qpps <33 Character I most identify with: As the local Jack Townsend kinnie, I have to say Jack. Character I wish I could be: I do kinda wish I could be Jerry, if that makes sense. I just want to have his confidence,,
