#the dsaf one is good too but it's just not the same

[account-name]

the struggle of being a phone guy fan but not knowing anything about dsaf or dialtown

[directdogman]

Just wanna say that I'm a HUGE fan of Dialtown and DSaF. I absolutely LOVE the storytelling and the balance you have with the plot! The absurdity mixed with logic and realism that paints something that could very well happen is absolutely stunning! I truly admire you and your teams' (assuming it isn't just you but I'm not sure) skills.

I do have a question though! At some point I saw an ask that you answered regarding writing dialogue and the differentiation of writing characteristics in different characters! I have to ask, what does the process look like for dialogue writing? How the hell do you stay in the mindset of the character? It's something that I struggle with way too much in my own writing (with way too many Google searches on synonyms for different words) so I'm wondering what your process is. Especially when it comes to a character lole Oliver, who has a theatrical way of speaking. It feels like there's too little words in the English language but you have this guy that's using all of them in one sentence!

Anyways, hope you're having an awesome day. If not, I hope things improve! I hope this wasn't too lengthy of an ask, haha.

Hey, don't think I'm necessarily a master at this! Hell, you should see how much I have to google word synonyms! Seriously, every time I sit down to write, I do the very same! Even if you become familiar with every word in the English language, you can never really store them all in your head at once! There's people out there who kinda can, but that's the thing, you don't HAVE to be insanely skilled in that way to write compelling character dialogue because I sure as hell am not!

DW, you're on the right track! It gets easier, the more you do it, but there's no real secret to writing really good dialogue (at least, that I know of) other than just writing a lot and when possible, studying writing that you really like and trying to deconstruct what others do (and it sounds like you're already on the right track, in the regard!)

One thing that helps me is being able to think like the character. Understanding how they think, how they feel about the world, what makes them tick, etc. It's easy for me since I write characters that I tend to share some common experiences with (or characters that share traits with people I know intimately), but even I don't delve as deeply into character-psychology while I write as I could. But. I feel I know enough about my characters to understand their 'vibe' pretty well! TBH, sometimes I have to go and replay existing DT scenes just to ensure it all 'sounds' correct. If you get good at this, you can pretty much hear your characters speaking in your head! That makes what you're asking about a hell of a lot easier.

I'm really more of a student than a teacher in the grand scheme of things (I have a lot to learn, myself!) and honestly, just having an interest in writing and wanting to deconstruct the stuff that inspires you is a big plus in becoming a really good writer! As cliché as it sounds, I really am just one dude standing on the shoulders of giants. Never forget that writers who inspire you are in the exact same spot you are. Hope this helps!

I want more of Dave and Legacy Jack.

Hear me out

Their dynamic would basically be Henry and Dave's (obviously the psychological abuse part not really the experiments one) but honestly kinda worse in some ways.

I imagine deep down in his subconsciousness Dave knows that at least some of the stuff that Henry did to him were wrong and/or undeserved. But he doesn't allow himself to think about that or in that way. 'Cause he still idolizes Henry so much because (in Dave's eyes) Henry did so much good for him.

And Legacy Jack acts quite similar to Henry in the way he talks to and puts down Dave in the moments we see him in that state. A.k.a (from what I remember) at the end of "An Ending" (the evil ending) in DSaF 2, several times in DSaF 3 and of course the Evil ending. I've seen people interpreting Legacy Jack as basically being possessed by Henry. But I don't really see it that way. More so Henry influencing Jack and this influence getting stronger and stronger as time goes on.

And we see Dave/Davetrap acknowledge the change in Jack a few times. But that doesn't really deter him. Because that's his Old Sport! He is so obsessed and in love with him that by the time of DSaF 2's end Dave would go and do whatever with Jack no matter how he gets treated. I mean we literally see this in the Evil route in DSaF 3. I very much believe that this route is a continuation from "An Ending" in DSaF 2.

Dave starts seeing more and more of Henry's behavior in Jack. That starts "opening old scars" and making him think more and more about all those past times. Something bugs him about that though. He feels like he's reliving bad memories. Things he doesn't want to remember. Although they're all of Henry and shouldn't those be good?

And he doesn't really feel okay about the way Jack treats him. But he can't leave him. He can't go trough the same pain he experienced when Henry was taken from him. He's not strong enough to do that. Not again. So of course he'll stay by his Sportsy's side. No matter what Jack does to him.

(Okay I'll stop this got very fanfiction-y haha)

I read two fics of their dynamic a bit ago and omg now I need more.

More of Dave's one sided crush and obsession and Legacy Jack's definite hate (probably some sort of psychological and verbal abuse idk) of Dave.

(Don't take any of this in a weird way please.. I swear I am normal and I also adore fluffy and cute Davesport too. But what can I say I just need to see my favorite characters suffer 😌)

[germaaaaaaaaaa]

I like your headcanons and want to know if you have any headcanons for charlie the cursed phone guy

(They may or may not become canon [totally not Charlie's mod])

also! I'm wondering genuinely in the sense on how you think dsaf Abel would interact with Dialtown Abel

and speaking of Dialtown Abel do you think he and bunny are bitter Ex's?

GOD I HAVE SO MUCHHH TO SAY ( also hello totally not charlie's mod its good to see you hehe )

Charlie is DEF an It/He to me, it like to see himself as an critters to others as much as he like others to see it as an human yk what i mean? But i also think that he dont rlly care what you see him as, in the litteral way but also in an pronouns way. "I dont Care what you refer me to I AM STILL eating your shoes!!!!"

I think if you offer it an pin it would either eat it or just take care of it preciously in his own way! Thats all i have to say at the moment for him ! May coming back to more hcs but for now, yeah!

AS ABEL, I think they wouldnt like eachother AT ALL LMFAO, even though they r the same person they dont have exactly the same things going on, same personality ect... that i find REALLY funny.

Though, Abel is the same pathetic man in both universe, AND IM PRETTY SURE DD himself talked about this, similar question, in one of his ask box, i dont have the thing on me atm but i remember that he did talked about this once. If anyone have IT or wanna share it that'll be pretty awesome.

I gotta Say, i fucking love abelbunny, they def giving exs vibes, but like in a they got into divorce 4th times in a row way. They giving toxic old men yaoi, but not in the too toxic way. Just divorced old couple way, and the Roger dlc do gave us this exact same vibe and i love it a lot

ETHAN'S ECCENTRIC ELECTRONIC EMPORIUM: AN INTRODUCTION

hello!! you can call me ethan and apollo. mutuals can call me mind. but honestly idc much. call me a slur [i've been called worse /ref]

i use he/it but in the sense of only using one of them in a sentence. like don't mix and match them in a single sentence if that makes sense trans man + aroacespec

mind fictionkin

i am a minor!

not answering donation asks! :[

feel free to use any of my art as a pfp, just make sure to credit me [and don't steal or repost it!! that's a loser move!!] my time zone is EST/EDT, so be aware that if you expect a quick response for anything sent at like 4am, i can assure you that is not what you will get

here's my strawpage!!

anyways. onto the other things people put in these. possible eyestrain warning at the bottom for userboxes, i guess

INTERESTS

in order of what comes to mind [ha], my main interests that'll be what's mostly seen here are chonny jash [duh], will wood, ut/dr, homestuck, and rain world

some other things i enjoy are lemon demon, cult of the lamb, miraculous [don't @ me i know it's shit /j], sonic the hedgehog, tmnt, jekyll and hyde, sanders sides, cattails, dsaf, dialtown, regretevator, hamilton, the glass scientists, mlp, the stanley parable, and probably a lot more. essentially, if i reblog something related to it, you can assume i have at least some interest in it

MISC INFO

i'm diagnosed with adhd and am self-diagnosed with autism and apd [audio processing disorder], though there could be more neurodivergencies hidden somewhere in there

my favorite characters ever are mind [cccc] [obviously], dirk strider [homestuck], berdly [deltarune], gregoriah [regretevator], and donnie [rottmnt]

i will call anything and everything a reference to something [reference? like vampire reference in a minor? will wood???!!!]

my most used emoji's are 🗣, 💥, and 👍. i think this is important to mention

i tend to have a hard time remembering pronouns if you use multiple sets and/or neos, so if i use the wrong ones or use one set too often then don't hesitate to tell me

i am a leo [august 19] and my mbti is intp-t. do with this what you will

i can take a bit to respond to messages or really anything direct and/or private, so if i end up taking a while to respond to anything, i don't hate you! i tend to forget to respond, be busy, or just end up too nervous to say something regardless of how good of friends we are. same applies to asks

speaking of communication, i tend to elaborate on what i mean often, and use tone tags even when probably unnecessary and sometimes repetitively. /srs

flirty / 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 talk is fine [as long as you're not an adult obv], but also be wary that i am very much a minor. jokes are fine, just nothing graphic or descriptive in terms of sex please and thank you

i swear a lot. i've been trying to not do it as often recently but. yeah

Rating My Obsessions/Hyperfixiations:

(Going to try going oldest to newest but it might not go so well bc #traumablocking)

2019/2020 (can’t remember):

My Hero Academia: 1/10 (it gets one point for being my first ever hyperfixiation, but I was a foul human being during this time of my life)

The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd/Vampires: 7/10 (I’m sure if I went back and read these books now, they would be subpar and honestly childish, but at the time, I loved them with every fiber of my being, and the memories associated are good so..)

Death Note: 1/10 (Ew I’m foul. I’m a foul creature. I deserve to be put down.)

Dr. Stone: 4/10 (I honestly remember jack about this show but it gets a 4 for being anime.)

Undertale: 5/10 (This game made me happy for awhile, but it was introduced to me by an ex best friend, so it’s getting a solid 5.)

Detroit Become Human: 6/10 (Minus points because of the time of my life this was during, but this game is an absolute masterpiece <3)

Hellsing: 5/10 (The obsession was unhealthy, but this one was pretty great too. Now, it’s sort of a sore spot, but at the time I was living the dream.)

BATIM: 9/10 (This hyperfixiation is honestly older that what I’m giving it credit for, but it’s going here because I don’t have a category for before 2019. Anyway it’s pretty great. It came back in summer of 2023 when I finally watched Dark Revival, which I liked better than the original <3)

FNaF: 8/10 (High score because this is one of the only hyperfixiations that has lasted so many years and can still bring me joy. It’s also older than I’m giving it credit for. Now, Was I cringe about it at some point? Definitely. Do I care? No.)

DSAF: 10/10 (I might be jumping the gun by giving this one my first 10, but I absolutely love this game. It’s only ever brought me joy, to this day I still love it, I based so many of my usernames and characters on it..and just ugh, I love it Fr.)

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: 7/10 (Admittedly, I haven’t stayed that up to date on it, but I love this anime. It doesn’t have that many bad memories and it’s just, great.)

Dialtown: 8/10 (In the same boat as DSAF but it didn’t bring me AS much joy. I still love it though and honestly I need to finish it.)

Hamilton: 5/10 (At the time, again, I loved it, but now it’s honestly one of my least favorite musicals.)

Borderlands: 7/10 (oh god to experience this game again for the first time would truly be a beautiful experience. Although I was cringe with it for awhile and this wasn’t exactly the happiest time of my life when I enjoyed this..so..)

LA Noire: 8/10 (I honestly loved this game, it was a big turning point in me and my brother’s relationship, and I remember staying up late on countless nights playing or watching him play it.)

Curses Cosplay/The Acklam Ashes: 9/10 (This creator doesn’t make content like this anymore, no hate at all they have their reasons and I still love them, but this YouTube show was a pivotal point of my life and I love it so.)

2021:

Creepypasta: 2/10 (Low score just for the sake of the fandom, and the fact of who I was associated with during this period of time.)

Marble Hornets: 6/10 (Was I cringe? Yes. Absolutely. But this show is so amazing I’m willing to put that aside. I’m also rating this separately from creepypasta for obvious reasons.)

WitchCraft: 5/10 (I had a whole witchy thing for awhile? It was mostly just tarot cards and shirts with the phases of the moon on them.)

DND/Divinity Original Sin: 10/10 (I have zero bad memories with either of these. My love for fantasy and DnD was awakened by playing Divinity Original Sin 2 with my older brother, and then that stemmed into more love for fantasy and the genre in general.)

SCP: 8/10 (This hyperfixiation is somewhat still alive? Not really, but I do still enjoy some occasional SCP content. It’s not a higher score because this was 8th grade year and that’s embarrassing.)

The Glass Animals: 9/10 (Less of a hyperfixiation, more of just, man they made some banger music.)

Elvis: 6/10 (Literally what was wrong with me. For awhile I only listened to music from this era, especially Elvis, and forced my family to buy me a bunch of Elvis merch I didn’t need.)

Noir: 6/10 (Okay so, this stemmed from the above mentioned LA Noire earlier and basically was a time period of my life where I was obsessed with watching old detective/murder mystery movies from the 20s. Honestly, they were bangers. But also, wtf was I doing.)

Tv Heads?: 5/10 (I had a weird thing for robot TV heads for awhile? It’s hard to explain honestly.)

Queen: 7/10 (Another one of those weird band obsessions I guess. This one was definitely bigger than the glass animals.)

2022:

Good Omens: 10/10 (Absolutely love. Loved it then and I still love it to this day!! Holding out for season 3 Fr 💪)

Clover: 7/10 (not many people know what this is, so for context it’s an electroswing album by OR3O. I loved it at the time but it doesn’t hit as hard now.)

Phantom of the Opera: 10/10 (Another 10. This wasn’t technically the first musical I ever watched, but, it was the start of my love for musicals and broadway. And it’s just a great musical Fr.)

Ghostbusters: 7/10 (If you asked me why I suddenly had a ghostbuster hyperfixiation during this time, I couldn’t tell you. But they are iconic movies so…)

The Steve Saga: 8/10 (I had watched FavremySabre several years before, but never this series. Anyway I loved it, still love it.)

Supernatural: 7/10 (A bit of a lower score because I was cringe, and my obsession with Castiel was unhealthy. Not to mention Supernatural isn’t exactly the best show on Netflix? It got dull later on, but..did I watch it start to finish anyway? Yeah. Absolutely.)

Twisted Rainbow: 10/10 (FavremySabre Masterpiece.)

Doctor Who: 6/10 (Two words. Season 13.)

Ghost: 6/10 (Low Score because I can’t stand to listen to them now, and because it’s associated with an ex bestie. But. Can’t lie. They had some bangers.”

Steam Powered Giraffe: 4/10 (Also associated with an ex bestie. They’ve got some good music but I don’t listen to them anymore.)

Mushrooms/Indie: 7/10 (This one was a bit odd but it did result in me redecorating my entire room to match this aesthetic.)

2023:

Faith The Unholy Trinity: 10/10 (Awesome Game, honestly one of the first things that sparked by interest in religious media, so points for that.)

The Exorcist: 9/10 (An odd thing to hyperfixiate on, I know, but this was also a result of my growing love for religious media.)

Mandela Catalouge: 6/10 (This was an odd one. I, at the time, had this raging fear of analog horror in general, so watching the Mandela Catalogue was sort of like..immersion therapy in a way. But it’s a pretty good show none the less 🤷‍♀️)

Be More Chill: 5/10 (Loved at the time, but low points for having been introduced to me by an ex bestie.)

Every Man Hybrid: 8/10 (A certified banger. Genuinely one of the better takes on the Operator and the whole creepypasta fandom in general. It’s great fr. Highly recommend.)

Grease: 4/10 (Ew. I’m only putting it here because I was in a production of it, and it was kind of a part of my life, but also, ew.)

Greys Anatomy: 8/10 (A banger show, but it doesn’t get a 10 simply because of how long it is.)

Slipknot: 7/10 (I don’t love who I was while listening to this band, but that’s kind of just something metal music in general will do to you.)

Aliens: 10/10 (This was short lived but strong enough to have bought a “I Want to believe” poster and hung it up behind my bed.)

Beacon Pines: 10/10 (Amazing game, very underrated. Also resulted in good bonding time with my brother.)

Gravity Falls: 9/10 (Another Amazing series that I’m probably a little cringe for. Whatever. It’s awesome.)

2024:

Ace Attorney: 9/10 (I eat, breathed, and slept this game series for months. Nuff said.)

The Ocean/Sea Animals: 9/10 (if I could keep an orca as a pet, I would.)

Midnight Mass: 10/10 (HOLY GOD. Another one of my favorite bits of religious media out there. It’s not exactly prime catholic propaganda but it’s not meant to be either.)

Baldurs Gate 3: 10/10 (This game brought back my DND era, which was much needed. I’d been without fantasy nonsense for a long time and I was ready for it.)

[bizzyboys]

okay actual intro post time until I have the energy to make a carrd

Endo systems and supporters leave!!! Bye bye!! I am anti-endo slash anti-any other type of system origin that isn’t trauma!!

Strawpage here!!

Romantic f/os under the cut, doubles please don’t interact 💔

Okay let’s start

hi!! im Melody!! If our entire profile theme changes randomly one day it’s probably because someone else took over and wanted to make it more comfortable for them to post here. Also I am 17!! (FINALLYYY)

I try not to post too much info about our system online because of the dangers of it and also just because it’s our personal life and experiences, so all you get is we are a diagnosed DID system and have been working with our current therapist for…maybe like 1-2 years? Idk time is wonky for us. Also diagnosed C-PTSD

I have a hard time remembering things so I like to keep receipts of things sometimes!!

We are always tired. Like always. Our mental problems drain us constantly to where we mainly sleep most of the day away unless we’re doing school (we do online school because public school doesn’t work for us) or going out. We try to be awake during the day, but if we die for a good while or don’t respond to you immediately just assume we’re sleeping lmao

Uhhh what else. Pronouns change constantly!! Please don’t use she/her unless we say it’s okay. It/They/He is normally a safe bet!! Also no fem terms unless we also say it’s okay!! you can call us a girlboss though because we get the gender good from that

Romantic F/os include: William Afton (since 2015 babyyyy), Boris Habit, Inspekta, Capochin, P/Patty, Mystery Burns, Alastor, Marvus, Whimsy+Angel, and more but those are the ones I think of right off the bat

I am currently most attached to Capochin, but I still get uncomfortable with other people who have the same romantic f/os interacting :[

Some of our interests include: The Glass Scientists, Doll-Eye, FNAF, DSAF, Dialtown, HTTYD, COTL, HLVRAI, Minecraft, Roblox (sometimes), POKEMON!!!!, Digimon, doodling, creating things (like cosplay props for when we go to cons), vocaloid, music in general, Smile for Me (beloved comfort game), Great God Grove, psychological horror, ARGs, creepypastas, Marble Hornets, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, Madoka Magica, Sailor Moon, BATIM, Bee and Puppycat, Fiona and Cake, Homestuck, Hiveswap, Undertale, Deltarune, Hamsters/Proper hamster care, Hamtaro, Little Nightmares, and other things!! (Aka this list is getting too long and im tired and don’t want to keep adding to rn lmao)

Here’s some silly userboxes that we relate to!!

[lyngleantonial]

Finnaly, lady & gentlemen, pals and bubs, MY DSAF/DIALTOWN-SONA HAS RELEASE. ((Informations below the picture MAY be offensive, containing a LIL' swears and suicidal contents, those stuff, just not gores and sexual content.))

WOWZERRR!!

Well actually this guy is just me and nothing esle. With Dave's suit. Yay.

+Details:

- He has eyelashes, well, yeah it looks like one but no, it's not. It's actually just beams or blast or whaever coming out his eyes.

-Wings instead of ears cause HE IZ ANGEL YAYAYAYAYAY I love angels. Not because they're good, who said angels are actually good? They're just more and way polite than sinners, and polite does NOT mean they're good. And the reason I love angels because: They hide their truth behind their shell. C'mon, it's easy to be fool by an angel's angelic look. So, why not? Angels' not really that suck, both demons and them are as good as I think.

+About him:

-He's a dude. And sometimes I misgender him myself. Haha

-His sexualities are both polyamory and pansexual/polysexual.

-He is just about 23 years old, and he'll never grown up again cause he died at his 23. Why? He fking hang himself to the roof after a "slight" despression. Funny right?

-You can only meet him on 'Paradisic .co' in some uncanon game idk i don't think there'll be him in the damn game cause who cares about him and I made him but he'll only appear after you died and revived too much (about 50 times), then WILL promisely lock the game forever, because he said you're fking breaking the 'rule' all this time, way too much (this guy work as a death for living and foods).

-His personality/behaviour: Me. Yeah.

((⬆️Extra hyperative, then can switch into menloncholic mood in 1 sec; silly goose hwehwehwe; can listen to the same song 1078 times; steal 6 years old sister's toy and go flex them with 'friends' [they didn't even care, and he thought that was cool as shit]; play cooking mama every single nights, then can't go to work because of sleepless; act cool [But what everyone see is a crazy stupid man], but is a sensitive vulnerable sweetheart [I truly am ik i'm cringe tetoteteto 😔], those fucked up autism ADHD moody whatever is going on stuff.))

-He iz an angel. Yep. Again, I love angels.

-His true from is actually a simple goose. Or a swan, if he likes to? So he can attack people without getting arrest??

-His favourite food: CHEESE. YEAH CHEESE, SAY CHEEEESSEEEEE.

-Anything esle I haven't figure out yet.

+Backstory:

-He's just too despressed from how life treated him ok?? So he hung himself up roof [I MEAN THAT] ok?? Leave him alone! Why do you care?!.

--The End, cause I have no idea what esle to add in.--

[fictionkinfessions]

canon deets!!

dave's love language was very much physical touch. it was kinda funny because i was not a touchy person at all meanwhile every time we slept in the same bed down in vegas (which was. every night, basically) he'd curl around me completely. but for the first few nights i just laid there completely stiff. eventually i got used to it and started actually cuddling with him instead of just letting him cuddle me

his fashion sense was also very much like. scene style, which is funny because i don't think that came into style until like, the 2000s

he had a fuckin terrible diet. every night was buffalo wings and pizza. and he had the NERVE to tell me I had bad taste in food the HEATHEN/silly

all of his teeth were really sharp, he also had a split in his lip and the outside of his ear

he covered up his scars with foundation like i did, but he typically didn't whenever we were just staying in

he was actually really good with kids! there was one time i remember where i walked by one of the party rooms and he was sitting on the floor, he wasn't in his spring bonnie suit, but he was reading to a bunch of kids who were kinda crowded around him. he didn't even seem to mind whenever they climbed on him. he was really good at entertaining them

he liked picking me up and holding me, i think there was at least once when i came back into the flipside and he picked me up and spun me around

he put a lot of effort into his appearance! he liked painting his nails, he had a full skincare and haircare routine, i think he specifically made sure to style himself in a way that made him look disheveled but still good

his handwriting was surprisingly neat when he put effort into writing

he was good at helping with overstimulation and panic attacks and stuff

there's. so much i remember about him but this is really long and i'm way too gay i think so i'll leave it off here. love my husband <33

DSAF EYE DILATION THEORY LETS GOOOOOO

Ok, so you may have noticed my essays becoming more and more unhinged. I would just like you to know: the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. That will be all.

Now onto the stuff that actually matters, the topic of today’s theory being the glowing eyes possessed by Dave, Jack, and Henry, and how they seem to work in terms of sprite changes. This may seem innocuous. And it is. Very much so actually. But so was my strong Jack theory. It’s it clear enough now that I just like making dumb theories and WILL do so.

Spoiler warning:

As stated, and as I’d hope everyone reading this would know given that you all probably have at least SEEN the DSAF sprites, Dave, Jack, and Henry have black cornea and glowing white pupils. Dee also has this but it seems to be for an entirely different reason so it will not be in this essay.

Now I’ve already given my theory on why they all have these and even if I weren’t entirely correct with my Fredbear Henry connection with Fredbear apparently being a Tulpa (which is awesome FYI) who while he does contain the more humane parts of Henry’s soul, he also contains other souls, this doesn’t discount the fact that this means that the only three characters to visibly have these eyes are the only three characters confirmed to have any separation in their souls. This of course led me to speculate that this, and not being undead, is the reason for this strange appearance because Henry never died prior to DSAF 3s good ending.

Now, would these eyes work? No probably not. I assume everyone is unaware but to state it for the sake of this essay, in essence your pupil is a pit in your eye that you see through, with the iris mostly functioning to adjust the light intake and focus of the pupil. However these glowing eyes COULD presumably work if it were only the iris were white, the cornea just happened to be black, and the pupil was as per usual, however we don’t see this as if I recall, the core of the eye is always white. So I have come to the conclusion that since this actually couldn’t work, it’s probably just magic and for once I’m going to leave it be, perhaps I’ll touch on it again when I’m less sleep deprived.

For now I want to go over some misc details before getting into the juicy bits of this theory.

First of all, Dave doesn’t have the same eyes as Henry and Jack. We see this in the tapes. I drew him with lizard eyes but this is not canon and was probably the least canon part of the design because for everything else I tried to follow canon to the T as best I could (actually Jack has more cat/lizard like eyes which I find interesting). Dave generally appears to have the same eyes but if you look closer in the tapes he very clearly has a duller second ring around his glowing pupil. My belief on this specifically is that it actually has to do with whatever he is as Jack and Henry are only portrayed with either Jack’s on and off slit pupils or regular circles, the extra ring is unique to Dave, so my belief is that the ring or slit is a human thing and since Dave is so clearly not human (like that cow from ADSFMovie kinda not human) it must just be his species’s equivalent.

Now JUICY STUFF. Why do their pupils dilate? Although we have not seen Henry with many different expressions Dave and Jack both have a specific set of facial expressions. Most don’t show too much aside from the fact they have faces and they can squint their eyes, but through a few sprites we can clearly see that the pupils themselves can grow or shrink depending on mood, with Dave’s even being able to take up his whole eye when panicked.

Pupils expand and shrink in order to take in more or less light however this can’t be the case for the characters of DSAF because since their eyes glow and are white they clearly aren’t there to ABSORB light. It also can’t be linked to affection because Dave and Jack don’t immediately do the panicked Dave Sprite whenever in the same room/j.

This leaves one correlation that seems to be common across all occurrences of eye expansion, some level of elevated stress or frustration tends to always be expressed when the eyes expand. I believe it’s linked to something LIKE (but not actually for obvious reasons) heart regulation, potentially adrenaline output causing rapid eye dilations because since their bodies are in a state of disrepair due to either being dead or missing vital parts of their very existence causing adrenaline to fire off in massive quantities to decidedly less intense than average situations for adrenaline. Which is fancy talk for their bodies are fucked up and minor levels of stress cause an effect that does happen in the real world but in far less dire circumstances than it would tend to happen in the real world.

Basically when Dave, Jack, or Henry is stressed their eyes rapidly expand, if this stress becomes panic they overtake the entire eye.

So what does this say about the eyes shrinking. The only time that is seen is with what looks to be disappointment, so I’m assuming with full disappointment and acceptance of the bad situation stress increases but in such a way that adrenaline is somehow not released but instead ejected causing the eye to shrink. Unlike the eye dilating because of increased adrenaline I don’t think there is a real life precedent for it but it’s my only explanation.

To touch on one final thing, Legacy Jack. Legacy ALWAYS has dilated eyes. This implies that Legacy is in a constant state of stress. Although I believe it to be different than the average stress that would cause DSAF’s eye dilations. Where most are caused by the person having negative experiences Legacy is always like this because he’s always stressed, not because of anything specific happening to or around him, rather because Legacy is paranoid and prioritized killing and preserving his well… legacy over most things causing him to stress often about things not happening and where to find his next victim so his murder streak will not end, in case of DSAF 3s bad ending specifically Henry’s presence in his mind might also be elevating his stress because his body is well aware that it’s a non-native presence in his mind that is really not supposed to be there.

In conclusion, the eye dilations seen in the colour gang are a result of elevated levels of adrenaline due to their bodies misfiring it at times it’s not required. This causes varying degrees of expansion from the average eye expansion seen to Dave’s panicked sprite.

Also Legacy might want to get some fucking anxiety pills to help deal with his chronic stress.

Of course as always this essay is for entertainment purposes only with me speculating on a meme game.

THIS POST IS NOW OVER BEGONE.

Something that always pissed me off about DSaF is how it acts like your physical exterior is a moral failing, which is echoed by the characters but only ever reinforced instead of subverted. Biggest L from the writing imo.

14, 21, 24 !

14. Fandom you keep returning to?

ohhhh i think its gotta be star wars, fallout new vegas, or just slashers in general. all of them were there for me during some of the toughest crap in my life so its like theyre always my safe space. and vinland saga to an extent but not to the point of those 3 ^^

21. Favorite fic trope?

i dont read fic that often bc i forget and when i do its usually pwp/shameless smut lol ^^; what can i say i enjoy what i enjoy. i guess i also do enjoy a good hurt/comfort fic now that i think ab it (i actually wrote one n i think its my magnum opus)

24. Funniest fandom-related story?

i met a friend of mine through a five nights at freddys fan game fandom (dayshift at freddys i was so obsessed w it when i was 18) and we shared a lot of the same interests outside of dsaf and we were around the same age and freshly outtve highschool so we got along quick :) but then they added me to this gc with a few other friends in the fandom as well and they started mentioning things from around where i live and i was like "wait. you live here too" and theyre like "YOU LIVE HERE TOO?????" and a con was happening soon so we got to meet there in person it was the first time i had met a friend that started online irl and it was so fun! AND THEN i found out apparently they were like. good friends with a friend of mines best friend? and they had been for years???? and they knew them for almost as long as i'd known them, longer even??????? blew my MIND we hadnt met before because id frequently attended cons w older friend and id NEVER met online friend b4 until this moment. i know this is a long meandering story but its still very funny to me that we met each other thru fnaf fan game instagram when we were LITERALLY a bus ride and friendship away from each other the entire time hehe

[meetthesoldier]

hi sorry this is outta nowhere but i would love to hear ur thoughts on harry (phone

SORRY ANON I LEGIT FORGOT ABT THIS ASK and im too lazy to draw her fr so heres some fanart i drew of her dying in a glue trap

this time i have a bit more thoughts on her as an actual character so ill start w that before the headcanon dump ... also, throughout this post ill be referring to her w she/her pronouns because of a personal headcanon im VERY attached to. all i ask is any rbs or further questions abt my specific vision of her use those same pronouns... in others posts i do not care obviously. also, this post is specifically abt her in the dsaf universe since shes far more substantial there.

firstly, i should say i ADORE harry. she is one of my biggest comfort characters in a series where almost everybody is one for me. so when i give any criticisms, know its out of love and a wish for some more expansive writing rather than any malice. being critical of media you love is important, etc etc.

my biggest issues with her character really boils down to the lack of acknowledgement abt her being physically disabled. she mentions having a "bad leg" during 3, but its ONLY mentioned that one time, during (i believe) missable dialogue. i understand her not using, like, mobility aids for it since it may be difficult to find suitable stock images (+ all the phonies in that game use the same photos for their bodies, and its totally possible its not something she feels she needs), but it probably shouldve been mentioned or expanded upon more.

i dont believe were given any explanation on how her leg ended up the way it is, or in what way it is. we dont know if she was born with her disability or aquired it later. we dont know if its paralyzed, we dont know if its because of a muscular dystrophy, or anything else. i just wish we were given more info, bcus as it is, it is REALLY easy to look over in favor of, say, her ptsd.

speaking of which, i have some mixed feelings on how her ptsd is portrayed. on one hand, the joke in the restaurant reviews abt her having flashbacks and a subsequent panic attack feels very distasteful, though thankfully this is (i believe) the only instance of this kind of joke at her expense. im glad elsewise it isnt some huge , controlling part of her character - however, again, it IS missable. while one can assume she has it when she discusses her past, i dont believe its explicitly stated UNTIL that review.

tldr; her disability feels poorly handled, mostly from lack of expansion and discussion.

thankfully, though, she is elsewise a very enjoyable character; shes got some really good and funny dialogue, the exposition we get from her about the original managers is really fucking good, and i really wish we heard more abt her experience working with rebecca (and presumably roger)... again, her biggest issues are just not having as much of a spotlight on her as she couldve, but considering the employees arent really the main focus of the game that may be fine actually...

(as an aside, i think about this post every day and cry audibly.)

thus ends the longform musings, onto the silly headcanons;

standard fare queer headcanon dump: trans woman + demisexual lesbian. also, polyamorous. fuck yeah baby steak (ref)

was in a queerplatonic relationship with joe while he was alive, and a romantic one with both tango/terrence (who has some gender fuckery going on as well) and rebecca because i am not immune to homemade lesbianism.

has ptsd in canon, but im adding a "c" in front of that cause aint no way she lived through all of her coworkers (and presumably FRIENDS) dying in such horrific ways and was only affected in the short-term.

autistic! specifically also has the thing i do where i need the time to be a multiple of 5 before i can start doing anything. also has generalized anxiety i think, with a tendency to catastrophize and compensates by insisting to herself everything is toootally fine. definitely NOT going to have a breakdown rn because shes not totally sure that that vending machine is 100% not going to fall on her specifically

probably didnt have many friends as a kid (L) so now she overcompensates by trying to be as charming and polite as possible. wether or not this works in her favor or makes her seem pretentious is a coinflip. (its certainly working on me though!)

has a real soft spot for random niche animals. probably a big salamander and gecko girl. her favorite is the marbled salamander because its cute as hell

slightly off topic everyday i think of how fucking horrific it mustve been for joe to come into work one morning and his best friend just has a phone for a head and extreme memory issues now . literally what the fuck. thats so fucked up

to do a tonal 180... if she was a pokemon trainer shed have a herdier or stoutland as a sort of service dog for walking shorter-medium distances when she rlly doesnt feel like whipping out the cane :.-)

shes so pale its actually ridiculous. bro looks like she hasnt seen the sun in 5 years ... jake pokes a bit of fun for it sometimes

thanks for asking, anon! i love getting excuses to talk about dsaf. i have a lot of thoughts, you know... dont ever friend me on discord my ass will randomly drop either the goofiest or angstiest headcanons at random intervals and i have no real control over whichor when it will be

[wiktorianala]

Ma yapping about a game I just finished if anyone would care (and probably at some point getting out of topic, so just starting to talk about other stuffs)\/

Ok, so I just finished dsaf3 "good ending" and... what the fuck. Just to make things straight I accually replayed it 2nd time now, because 1st time was few hours ago, in the morning with no sleep so my brain was almost turned off, so ending seemed, not really interesting, nor emotional, at least not as much as innternet maked it seem, so that's why I just replayed it from last save (I just woke up so brain working just finey) and OH MY GOD WHO LET THIS MAN COOK? Like I've gotta say, I thought that I was "crying" hard over "evil route" (because honestly it not really made me cry but rather left me sad as fuck and not knowing what to do with myself), but holy shit after this thing I genuelly was in front of screen crying like a little fuckin baby (and stil left not knowing what to do with myself). I don't really think any game ever made me cry this hard, nah I bet I could say any piece of media. Gosh even now I want to cry again. Anyway I honestly was suprised that part that mostly break me was not the after battle with henry on flipside, but rather, at the end just thos tumbstones and all. Maybe because it all just cumulated at the end, I dunno. Honestly it's surelly gotta be for me one of thos games, for which I wish I could erase my memory, just to expirience them once more for first time. Closest to this might be when I'll finally get out of phase for it, for a longer time, just to replay entire serie again. Gotta say that arter palying all mayor routes from all 3 games (+ quite a few smaller ones) this serie surelly jumps into "fave games" category, right under portal2 (which is hightest place a game for me can go, because srry, but I hold very nostalgic connection for portal, and even if I'll find a game that I'll like more, thare's just like, I dunno a part of me saying "nostalgia at first place" so I can do shit about it), and that means I really fckn enjoyed it, because for now my faves only had "tier one (AKA. portal2)", and "tier two" wich was rest of my fave games, and now it has tier one (still the same), tier two which now include dsaf and tier three which is rest of faves (and if someone's interested "how much games are then here rn in total", answear would be... lemme check, It's five games in total on my fave list or more like "tha ultimate fave ones", and it's not because I play not many games, but rather that I rarelly find games that strike me in the way that, I don't know how to put it into words. I guess I just rarelly find "that one" type of stuff). Wait... didn't I get off topic? Hard to say. Ok, so anyway I really enjoyed it despite all of the cryies that occured ( and by this I mean not only 3rd game but honestly entire franchise because on "good ending" in 2nd game I broke too, and on just as I said somewhere before on "evil route" in 3rd too (on first one not thought, but it doesn't make me like it less) ( but no matter what 3rd is surelly my fave out of all)). And when I'll put my mind together , I'll think about concept for fanart (just like with evil route, a fanart directly of an specific ending) and maybe in spare time will make some doodles ( I'll have to think about in which art style it'll be(or wich one will fit it the best)). I know- I know I tend to make quite a lot (at least for my standards) arts from dsaf, BUT IT'S MY CURRENT FIXATION SO, I'M SORRRRRY. I guess next game I'll be playing will be dialtown, but for that to happen i want it to get on sale (just, so I could buy base game with dlc in price of just base (I know it don't work that way but I don't care))Yeah so ummm, that's all? I guess yes. Just like last time I bet noones reading that(and I don't mind it, after all I'm the one who decides to don't add tags to any just txt type of post, just so it won't pop up at any random person page, god it would feel awkward, especially looking at the point that I'm just writing the way that I would talk to someone so "first thing that comes to mind get noted" so after some amount of time, stuffs that I write feel really stupid/cringey. Shit I'm off topic again) Anyway, Byee~*
