Thinking about Roxanne Wolf, and the new book info that’s been leaked about how the original personalities of the SB animatronics were different than what we see in game. And from what I’ve seen (not that I’ve seen a ton because I haven’t really looked beyond browsing the Roxy tags here on Tumblr), the general summaries seem to include the notion that “Roxy was programmed with low self esteem.”

I’m not sure that’s really accurate, though.

The actual quote is as follows: “Roxanne was self-centered and competitive. She loved to admire herself in the mirror and frequently asked others how she looked. Edwin had never really liked her personality, but it was what Fazbear execs had wanted for the character [...] Roxy had always enjoyed poking at people's insecurities because of her own deep-seated self-esteem issues, but when The Storyteller came online, Roxanne turned into a full-blown bully. It was like her inherent lack of empathy was morphing into a more aggressive form of pathological cruelty.”

So, yes, she had self-esteem issues even before the change. But I’m not sure that means she was programmed with those issues. I dunno, I just can’t see that being a trait the execs would have been looking for, because that doesn’t seem like something that’ll really draw people in.

So I think it’s something more along the lines of...

Execs want someone kickass for this character. They’ll be the mascot for the raceway, so the character should have the vibe of someone who would be speeding on a highway in a convertible with the top down. So make them competitive, and make them self-obsessed, because they’re the best and they know it.

Except, after that... what happens when she’s not the best? Her programming is telling her that that’s basically her purpose, but she looks around and she’s... not. She’s not everyone’s favorite. She’s not thought of more highly than all the others. But her programming won’t allow her to look at things reasonably, to think something like, “Oh, well, they might be better as abc, but I’m better at xyz, we all have our strengths and weaknesses.” No, in her mind/circuitry, if she’s not the best, she’s nothing. There’s no third option.

So she tries to find validation. And she tries to bring others down (within reason, because there’s not much repeat business if kids go home crying because of her, and execs aren’t fans of that, but she does what she can) for the sake of lifting herself up. She tries basically anything she can to rationalize the idea that she really is the best.

Because she’s very aware that if she’s not, then she may as well just be scrap metal.

...tl;dr Roxy wasn’t programmed with the low self esteem, but because of what she was programmed with, she has gifted kid syndrome and/or imposter syndrome.

I just realized that maybe making a playlist based on a marauders era character every time I'm sad (sad is an understatement tho) might not be the best way to cope with things.

You don't understand, I've watched Joe and Frankie sing Only Us at least a couple hundred times at this point and my heart still aches at the way they look at each other

what if your doppelgänger wasn’t evil it was just a person. what if your doppelgänger wasn’t trying to replace you it was just trying to learn to be a person and you were the best model it had. what if your doppelgänger looked at you with your eyes and said with your voice that it just wanted to be loved. what then.

above all else a trans woman is a person. above all else a trans women is a woman who goes to the same grocery store as you and buys fruits in the same grocery cart as you and goes home and eats her dinner the same as you. above all else a trans woman is a woman who dresses like you do and talks the same way you do. above all else a trans woman is a woman who wants to be cared about the same way you want to be cared about and a trans woman is a woman who makes friends the same way you make friends. above all else you should care about trans women because they are people. treat her as such.
