#therefore actually fitting with his track record

[aflamboyanceofflamingos]

The Batfam finds out Tim doesn’t have a spleen and instead of explaining he just says that he’s never had a spleen, directly contradicting years of medical examination, but gets away with because of the two options- Getting stabbed vs. forging medical records since he was a kid- the one that’s less believable is usually the true one when it comes to Tim. Not to mention, he has a history of forging things that don’t exist.

TPOT 17 SPOILERS: DECODING FANNY'S BOARD + DEBUNKING/ANALYSIS OF ONE

*All of these were decoded through a Ceaser Cipher and Binary code:

XSFFG: Fanny (Fanno??)

KV UVA ALZA T LX HLENSTYR JZF: Do not test, I am watching you

TJPQZ HPXC OJ GZVMI VWJPO RCT DH CZMZ: You have much to learn about why I'm here

YTKGQE YTO ZIN: Sneaky Snitch

GCCB SBCIUV: Soon Enough

01110011 01101000 01101000 01101000: Shhh

YLJLODQV RFXOXV: Vigilant Oculus

the last code with Vigilant Oculus is SO SOOOSO interesting to me. It points at a warped image of Fanny sitting on Ice Cube: calling the two of them the vigilant oculus (oculi??). Vigilant refers to someone who is watchful, wary, being alert and checking for danger. Oculus is latin for eye: therefore, Vigilant eye.

Basically, One says that the two of them a very watchful eye, but she's not happy about it. Fanny, Ice Cube and Donut all have a strong sense of justice and morals, leading them to be the first ones act against One- Fanny and Ice Cube out in the game, and Donut through actually FIGHTING against One

Also, note how all the players who One contacted that are still ingame/got further are Ice Cube, Fanny, and Donut: in which One offered them their limbs. Neat.

One is actively preventing Fanny from letting anybody else know about her. She warps TB's vision so he sees that distortion instead of what Fanny really wrote. But there's something about it that irks her enough to piss her off.

Look at One's room:

Her couch is broken. Their table is chipped. Chairs and equipment are knocked down, papers are all over the place. Her telescope is broken. And most of all, One herself is clearly agitated. Either this happened as a result of the world almost ending, or One threw a fit and ended up throwing things around in frustration. She wants to get things done quickly, she doesn't want to waste any more time. Instead of light, easy persuasion with that confident and playful tone she uses with her usual deals, she pressures Donut and yells at him, telling him to make it quick. When he doesn't and refuses, even going so far as to kick her away from him, instead of continuing the pressure, she gives up and punishes him- she rips out his legs and lets him roll on.

Afterwards, One claims that she didn't need Donut and it was just extra. But she seems to be convincing herself rather than reminding herself.

From what Six says: "She was meant to be gone!". This means that One was exiled, or sent away somehow. From the start, she'd been enemies with the other Numbers, or at least, did NOT have a good track record with them.

Six also says that he's the only one left. He's the only one living in the Equation Playground. The others either left or are in hiding. Four, X, and Two are on earth, and Three is imprisoned inside Four.

We ALSO know that every Algebralien has a connection to the Playground through a door. Four has it through his EXIT- a pocket world inside of him. Now, One has also showed us what is likely hers- her cozy little room, and her dark meadow with the flowers. Both of them have a door that leads to the playground.

From how this is set up, it makes me believe that all the algebraliens have some sort of pocket world, all with their own door that leads to their home. We also now know that the Subscriber Specials probably take place BEFORE BFB/TPOT, or at least during, somewhat. Or they just. aren't canon. but i want to think they are because it makes me happy

So if theres some vague algebralien timeline its:

xFOHV -> One/Three get exiled and Imprisoned -> Sub Specials Probably -> BFB -> TPOT

i've run out of things to talk abour ehre

i love One :)

The more I think about Better Man, the more I think about Take That history and their reunion, which makes me think in your take (no pun intended lol) in the potential Better Man sequel

How would the plot, in movie format, work? I'd love to know more about your ideas

Also I thought about an animatic with the monkey versions of the boys for The Flood, in the way you imagined the scene with this song

Awww thank you so much!

Now, let's answer the big question: What's the plot gonna be like?

Well... I'll answer it by using this quote that Robbie threw around a couple of times in interviews:

"If Better Man took place in 2012-2022, it would be a love letter to Gary Barlow".

Therefore, the hypothetical sequel would primarily follow Robbie and Gary.

Let's go through the songs I chose and go through a rough idea of what I imagined the plot would look like:

I want the framing device to help connect with the narration from the movie: so I'm making it an interview for this universe's version of "Boy Bands Forever", or even the movie "Better Man" (actually, the latter would be hilarious as balls). After thinking about it a bit more, I'm going to split it into acts. I feel it would work more as some sort of mini series, but I'll be surprised if it it could even work in a film format.

ACT 1: Intensive Care (Robbie's POV, 2005-2006)

The Heavy Entertainment Show (Our big intro. Very bond-esque. It would be considered a recap of the events of Better Man. After all, this is how he likes to say hello.)

No Regrets (After the interviews for "Take That: For the Record". Robbie still has a lot of thoughts about Take That, and they begin to pour over once he split with Guy Chambers. Looks like that watermelon peace offering didn't do much... right?)

Radio (The 2006 Leeds performance. By now, Robbie is still pretty confident about himself. So much so that he thought people would accept Rudebox. ....They didn't, and his self-doubts return with a vengeance. Initially I wanted to pick Rudebox, but Radio fits the more manic and claustrophobic vibes better.)

Karma Killer (Here's something I learned from reading his book "Reveal": Two months after the Leeds performance, and with the interview still fresh on his mind, Robbie wrote a hefty vent email to Nigel. We get to see all of Rob's darkest thoughts here, and when I say dark, I really do mean it. One portion would be based off of lyrics that he had to remove from a Rudebox track "The 90s" due to legal disputes: "I used to fantasize of taking a Stanley knife and go and play with his eyes". Just like that, he fell off the deep end once again...)

ACT 2: Open Road (Gary's POV: 1980s-2006)

A Million Love Songs (We return to the framing device, this time with Gary, as we get his side, as well as his perspective, on the events that lead up to him reuniting with the lads. We would also get a brief glimpse of non-chimp Robbie. The number would play after the second rehearsal, where the five lads performed together as a group for the very first time.)

Ego A Go Go (It's the Robbie vs. Gary fight that people have been waiting for! Well, not really a fight. More like "Gary initially has the upper hand but then gets completely destroyed by Robbie".... Basically it would involve Robbie and Gary fighting in the set pieces of Robbie's music videos. In order: Angels, Let Me Entertain You, Millenium, No Regrets, Rock DJ, Kids, Come Undone, Something Beautiful, and finally Radio. Robbie at the Radio portion would look some kind of devilish, reptilian monkey hybrid. Ultimately, Gary would fall off the set and into the void, where he would crash onto his piano.)

Back For Good (No, not the original version. The punk rock cover that Robbie performed in his live shows back in the day. Just when you thought Gary had suffered through enough... well... who's ready for round two? Get ready for some serious soundtrack dissonance, because this is going to soundtrack Gary at his worst mentally. Good news: it won't involve drugs. Bad news: It will involve tabloids and eating disorders.)

Patience (Mark would get the ball rolling by trying to get the band back together. Initially, Gary would deny Mark's request to bring the band back together, but upon getting the watermelon from Robbie, he gets nostalgic. Not immediately ready to join... until he sees his trainers. He puts them on and runs, going longer and longer distances each day until he plucks up the courage to run back to Mark at the place where they had tour auditions, overcoming not just his eating disorder, but his music block as well. But he's not alone. Howard and Jason are running towards there too. They are all rushing towards this place for one thing: They want to start again. But this time, they are going to do it right. It would be like "Come Undone" sequence: A rush into the unknown... but it ends on a more positive note. This interview inspired me on the direction.)

ACT 3: Reality Killed the Video Star (Robbie's POV + Howard's POV, 2007-2010)

Good Doctor (Returning to Robbie's POV, we learn about what happened to him after the tour. Spoilers: He's not in a good place. He had relapsed on his drug problems so he can silence his self-doubts, making him more erratic. The decline can be seen when he interacts with the pharmacist.)

I'd Wait For Life (This number would take place after Robbie's first date with Ayda and his subsequent staying over at her place. Aka, when Robbie goes to rehab. Again. Concurrently, Take That reunited as a four piece with the release of their album "Beautiful World". Both Gary and Robbie reflect on one moment: The one moment when they were in two hotels separated by an ocean.)

Bodies (Specifically the X Factor Performance. The concert at Leeds traumatized him so much that he has trouble doing what used to be second nature to him: To Entertain. Self-Doubts win the fight again, and with that... he retreats. I can imagine some of his self-doubts sitting in the X Factor judging booth, studying his every move.)

Shame (Robbie and Gary finally make up. I imagine the whole musical number be the two of them being separated by a television screen. Towards the end, they break the screen and finally reunite.)

ACT 4: Progress (Robbie's POV + Mark's POV, 2010-2011)

Shine (After meeting with the fellas and having fun, what does Robbie do next? Run away and revert back to hermit mode. Mark comes over to help cheer him up.)

Eight Letters (Robbie gets to properly bond with the fellas this time around... and realizes that they all have something in common.)

Won't Do That (After ditching Ayda yet again, and with a little help from Cameron Diaz, Robbie finally musters up the courage to tell her that he loves her. And this time, he's gonna sick around. Your reward? Romance and marriage montage!)

The Flood (Specifically the X Factor Performance, that would later transition the performance on the Progress Tour. I'll go into more depth later.)

ACT 5: Take the Crown (Robbie and Gary's POVs 2012-2013)

I Like It (Essentially a montage of Take That's Progress Tour and other performances. Touring with the lads again is giving Robbie more and more confidence. So much so that it's giving him the incentive to get his solo career back off the ground.)

Candy (This is when Robbie and Gary wrote "Candy"! I want it to be a Robbie and Gary duet. Just the two fellas having fun. Candy is the designated "happy song" of the Better Man universe, so we're gonna make it a happy moment.)

Dying Inside (This would involve the fallout from the loss of his stillborn daughter Poppy in 2012, a week before the lads were due to perform at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Life goes on and Gary is struggling to maintain a brave face. Only his wife and the rest of the band knows what's going on; Everyone else doesn't notice.)

Rule The World (The Performance at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics. Starts off sad, but would later gain more power and positivity. After all, the only direction to go is forward. And no, I'm not gonna give Jason leaving the band a musical number. Sometimes all the big moments don't need a musical number.)

Love My Life + These Days (A flash forward sequence involving Robbie and Gary after all the prior events, starting with the birth of Teddy and then catching us up to the present day... well the present day of November 2024. Yep! This is a mashup.)

No Regrets (Reprise) (We're back in the mindspace again with Robbie and Nigel. After watching Nigel's portions in the Boybands Forever miniseries, Robbie responds to what he said. It seems like we're going to have another Karma Killer... right? Nope! At last, Robbie apologizes to Nigel for all that he did, but at the same time tells Nigel what he did wrong. He doesn't see Nigel as a monster anymore. He sees him as a father figure that failed. Whereas Robbie managed to come to terms with his mistakes and grew as a person, Nigel didn't. And with that, Robbie finally moves on. At the end, he meets up with Gary, Mark, and Howard to hang out. What would these four do next? Who knows...)

With The Flood, I wanted it to be the moment where Robbie finally gains his confidence to perform back.

And what better way to visualize that than to

MAKE THE FIVE GUYS WALK UP A METAL BEACH CLIFFSIDE WHILE THEY WITHSTAND MULTIPLE TIDAL WAVES MADE UP OF SELF-DOUBT.

The waves would cause their forms to break apart like shells, revealing past versions of themselves until we reach the versions of them from when they first performed together.

It would be like some very fragile matryoshka dolls. A Robbie inside of a Robbie inside of a Robbie etc etc etc....

Four of the five manage to break free from the last layer and reveal their outfits from the Progress Tour's performance of The Flood. Robbie would be the last one to break from his shell.

And I want it to happen right here, right when Mark cheers him on:

That's when it would transition to the performance from the Progress Live tour. The five lads will jump off the cliff and land on the stage in awesome, superhero landing fashion.

Much like how Robbie lands in the Knebworth scene.

At last, Robbie has finally returned.

Who do you think is better suited for dating Morpheus: Johanna or Hob?

Lol controversial ask! Jokes. I am guessing this came off the back of my response to the Calliope post the other week where I mentioned that I am loosely a Dreamling shipper but lean more towards Morphanna currently. I guess I need to specify that it very much depends on my mood because I am a Sandman multishipper at heart but feel different ships serve different purposes regarding Dream. I struggle to stretch them beyond the purposes I have set aside for them. Also it's Dreamling week and so one look at my blog would definitely give the assumption that I am a huge Dreamling shipper but that isn't actually the case. What I am is a Morpheus stan and everything else is peripheral to my focus on him and his story.

But sure lets dig into this. Honest answer? Neither because Morpheus is terrible and his track record alone is enough proof that he should never date anyone ever.

(jokes)

If we want to be sticklers for comic canon here, neither is suited because there are particular blockers in place for both ships.

For Morphanna the blocker is the rule that states that an Endless can not love a mortal. We have the Nada situation to show us what happens when they do. (Sun gets big mad and throws fireballs at the Earth)

For Dreamling the blocker is less carved into stone but its still gonna be a biggy for certain readers/audiences, being that Morpheus is not gay/bi/pan/queer whatever you wanna call him. For all intents and purposes in comic canon he's as straight as a ruler. However whilst we only ever see Morpheus's lovers as powerful, confident, beautiful female presenting immortal beings, we can throw in the tried and true argument we can apply to all of Neil Gaiman's non human beings which is that since he is not a human cis male, he technically can't be straight and since he has multiple forms and is as old as the universe itself, attraction is probably a very different thing to Morpheus than it is to any of us. It's entirely plausible that he could fall in love with a man shaped being (I actually have a meta in progress about Morpheus' potential queerness - sure it may ruffle some feathers but since I do this for fun and not to please anyone but myself I don't give a damn and will post it one day).

Anyway, that said the show could easily do away with both these blockers. We haven't had Nada's tale yet so whats to say the Endless are forbidden from loving mortals in the show universe? Nothing. The show could also easily confirm Dream has had past male presenting lovers (my money would be on Oberon in a threeway situation with Titania - or Pharamond if he shows up.)

So putting those elements aside, who is better suited to Morpheus?

In Johanna's corner we have the following;

She generally fits the archetype of past lovers and therefore could be considered Morpheus's "type" - beautiful, confident, argumentative, not phased by his status, not submissive to him, puts him in his place (listen we all know Morpheus has a submissive kink its practically carved into comic text lol).

Well versed with his "world" and supernatural creatures and can hold her own against them - being a Constantine has its benefits.

She cares - underneath her tough exterior its clear she has a good heart. She was able to bring him down to Earth, to give a human perspective that he needed at that point.

Flawed characters - Johanna considers herself a bad person and compares herself to Roderick Burgess. But Dream is quick to dismiss this. The truth is that Johanna may be messy and a bit of a disaster, but she is very selfless and good at her core. This could be a good thing as it could help Dream to see the good in humanity that he has been missing. Its clear she already helped with this in the show, but going forward, a relationship between them could help even further accelerate his change and make him a better being.

She encouraged the development of his relationship with Matthew. Something else he needed which she saw before he did. Basically she's smart enough to figure out what he needs, and when to press the issue or not. (she dropped the topic of his imprisonment as soon as he deflected to her photo).

She understands heartbreak and messy relationships - I think Johanna would be well suited to Morpheus because she is just as broken as he is, with almost as messy a relationship history. They have common ground there.

"It never ends well does it?" "What? Love?" She's realistic about relationships, which Morpheus - being Dream - needs. She can ground him, at least for a little while.

Johanna is also a powerful ally to have on side, it makes for excellent storytelling to bring her into the narrative regarding Lucifer and the stories revolving around Hell. She's competent, highly skilled, and I think he finds her impressive.

For Hob consider the following:

Friends first - for someone with such a terrible track record of past lovers, finding love in a friend is something Morpheus doesn't appear to have tried before, and this could be exactly what he needs. Dream and Hob have a shared history over 6 centuries, and those are strong foundations to build a relationship on, especially since they've already basically been through the big break up fight and heartbreak and are already in the rekindling phase.

Stories for the storyteller - the beauty of Hob's role is that he is Dream's respite from his world. The visits with Hob are the one time the Prince of Stories gets to sit and listen to stories himself. There must be peace in that, and we all know Dream desperately seeks peace.

Blind Devotion - Hob is patient, and he will wait for Dream. One thing that I think a lot of Morpheus's past lovers had in common is that they struggled to stick out the periods of time when he would throw himself into his work and basically forget about them. The relationships fizzled out after the honeymoon phase because Dream couldn't sustain that, even though once you have his love you have it forever. With Hob that wouldn't be an issue. He is the man who waited. Who never gave up hope that Dream would return even after he was stood up, and when he did return, Hob smiled and joked. It was all okay. Morpheus needs a relationship with that level of chill.

Flawed characters - Unlike Johanna, I think its safe to say that Hob is a very flawed character. He is selfish, greedy, self centered and ignorant to a lot of what takes place around him. Whilst he does grow and improve over time, his flaws are still a huge part of his character. Morpheus is also very far from perfect and it is this that makes them so well suited. There is almost an equal footing there. Hob could potentially see Morpheus's POV when it comes to the grander schemes, but at the same time, it is clear from their journey together in the show that they have a tendency to make each other better.

Grieving fathers - now this is an important one and its something I feel the comic failed to see the potential of. A huge part of the Sandman story is Morpheus struggling to come to terms with his grief over his son. Grief is a central theme. Of all the characters in the comic who Morpheus comes to meet, Hob is one of maybe two that share that experience - being a father whose son died too soon. I think the other character in comic who suffers this same grief is Shakespeare, which is an interesting parallel and one worth exploring. The show adds Roderick Burgess into the equation - making a fathers grief for his dead son the trigger for Dream's own imprisonment. The show emphasises the theme of grief far beyond the comic, which is definitely worth further exploration in a separate meta. The point is that Hob sits in this very small circle of characters who have shared Dream's experience. Hob is therefore in a prime position to help Dream where they can grow and learn to heal together.

Whilst he doesn't fit the archetype for Dream's past lovers, the differences Hob provides could prove to be just what Dream needs. He is still a handsome man (and God knows Dream gave him bedroom eyes in 1789) and he still ticks certain boxes regarding dominance, confidence, and an ability to hold his own in a fight. "You need not have come to my defence" suuuuure Dream but you did enjoy it nevertheless! Therefore attraction isn't an issue.

Conclusion?

Both Johanna and Hob tick certain boxes to meet the requirements for "love interest" and could easily be positioned that way for Dream. When I really dig down into it I think it depends on what fans are looking for in a Dream ship as to which character is best suited.

I love Morphanna for how messy it is. Yes, Johanna cares and has a good moral centre, but placing her into a certain role within the bounds of the canon story could actually be bad for Dream going forward. I see it as a dramatic relationship. It would be passionate, fiery, dramatic, chaotic, and will end in heartbreak.

I say this because ultimately Johanna doesn't do commitment. This is a clearly defined character trait in the show. Commitment is something she struggles with. Whereas Morpheus is all about commitment. He doesn't appear to do anything BUT commit to people and comes on extremely strong. I love exploring this dynamic between them. I think it would work brilliantly as a canon ship and I am still resolutely behind the idea that Johanna should replace Thessaly in canon and be the trigger for the rainsoaked Dreaming and the Brief Lives disaster trip.

So whilst I 100% ship Morphanna, I think I only ship it on a temporary basis. I struggle to imagine a future where they can have a happy ending and be together long term. Instead I see an ending where after all is said and done, Johanna stands and tells her story at the Wake, and mourns the creature she loved, and has to go on struggling to understand her role in his downfall. If we are seeking an alternative ending where Morpheus lives, I still struggle to see him settling down with Johanna as she is a mortal and I cannot imagine her ever choosing immortality or giving up her job as someone who saves people from the supernatural. She will never be Morpheus's queen. It just doesn't suit her character.

When it comes to Hob, as much as it sometimes irks me to admit it, he is very well suited for Morpheus even in an endgame/alternative happy ending way. Foundations based in centuries of growing friendship, his patience and ability to wait for Morpheus to get his head out of his ass, his being unphased at practically all the weirdness and oddities that Dream's world brings with it. The fact is, Hob is Dream's best friend. This is something that Dream needs so much more than a lover. Not only that but he is a friend who has shared history, shared grief, shared pain, blind devotion, and he is immortal. Hob will stay by Dream's side forever if he has the chance. So long as he still gets to live. Whether you see it as purely platonic, queer platonic, non sexual romantic, or fully romantic and sexual, they are in it for the long term.

Whereas Morphanna for me is a quick burning fiery passionate love affair that ends in tears and A LOT of rain, Dreamling is a very slow burn. I struggle with canon based fics that have them falling into bed shortly after the 2022 reunion because it feels out of character to me. If Dreamling were to happen, it would need to take practically the entire comic run story to get to that point. Hob's devotion to Dream is clear, but his awareness of its romantic potential is not yet there. I always return to Hob's dream in Sunday Mourning when I think of Dreamling, because for me, that is where a relationship between them would actually start, rather than end. Because I think it would take a huge event like Morpheus's actual death for them to pull their heads out of their asses and get together. Because you see even with all the arguments and debates and highly emotional opinions thrown around, I still feel deep down like Sunday Mourning is telling us that Morpheus escaped. He got out the narrative and is free from his cage, and now he's set for his own adventure off in the stars. The only person I can realistically imagine him taking with him is Hob Gadling.

At the end of the day these are my opinions. I want canon Morphanna, I just want it to end with a horrible messy break up because I want that drama. I am unsure if I want Dreamling in canon, but I do hope that if the show ends similarly to the comic, that we will get those scenes in Sunday Mourning and have them be extremely emotionally charged - if ever there is a Dreamling love confession, that is where it belongs. I can only really analyse my opinions on these ships based on canon but I am aware that fandom is a big sandbox and people can do what they want always with these characters. Please don't ever let my opinions deter you from shipping them to your hearts content in any way you feel like.

So I guess the TL:DR is that they are both suited in different ways. Morphanna is a mid story passionate love affair that I adore and want to end in disaster. Dreamling is an endgame slow burn friends to lovers that has the potential to go long term.

I love them both for their specific purposes, believe they both are suited for those purposes, but never the other way around. I hope this satisfies your question! :)

October 11th 1297 is the date of the letter from William Wallace to the mayor of Lübeck.

I love this letter, it is the only thing from Wallace that we know 100% that he had a hand in writing and actually touched, as his seal is on it. I saw the Lübeck and "safe conduct" letter when they went on display at the Holyrood Parliament in 2012, thanks to the hard work of the late Duncan Fenton and The Society of William Wallace. While the "safe conduct" letter was almost certainly in his possession when he was betrayed and captured, for me because of the message the Lübeck letter sent out - Scotland is open for business, it is more important. The safe conduct letter would also have been written by someone else.

After Scottish forces led by William Wallace and his northern ally Andrew de Moray won the Battle of Stirling Bridge on September 11, 1297, Wallace wasted no time trying to get the Scottish economy back on track. The English had captured Scottish ports the year before and severely curtailed trade. Exactly a month after Stirling Bridge, Wallace felt secure enough to write to the Hanseatic League towns of Hamburg and Lübeck alerting them that Scotland’s ports were open for business again. (Mornay was mortally wounded at Stirling Bridge, although it appears he lived for a short time afterwards and Wallace continued to include his name in correspondence until his death.)

The letter was written in latin and reads as follows...

"Andrew de Murray and William Wallace, leaders of the army of the kingdom of Scotland, and the community of the same kingdom, to their worthy, discreet and beloved friends the mayors and communes of Lübeck and Hamburg, greeting, and increase always of sincere friendship.

It has been intimated to us by trustworthy merchants of the said Kingdom of Scotland that you by your own goodwill are giving counsel, help and favour in all causes and business concerning us and our merchants, although our merits had not deserved this, and therefore all the more are we bound to you to give you thanks and a worthy recompense, to do which we are willing to be obliged to you; and we ask you that you will make it be proclaimed amongst your merchants that they can have secure access to all ports of the kingdom of Scotland with their merchandise since the kingdom of Scotland, thanks be to God, has by arms been recovered from the power of the English. Farewell.

Given at Haddington in Scotland on the 11th day of October in the year of grace one thousand two hundred and ninety seven.

We request moreover that you will see fit to forward the business of John Burnet and John Frere, our merchants, just as you wish us to forward the business of your merchants. Farewell. Given as before."

The Hamburg letter was destroyed in World War II. The Lübeck letter was first discovered preserved in the Lübeck archives in the 1820s. It was often mentioned in books thereafter. In 1942, Lübeck, on the Baltic coast of Germany, was attacked by Allied aircraft. As a result, the town's archives, including the letter, were moved to a salt mine for safety. At the end of the war, the Soviet army took the papers east.

The archives were later handed over to the archive administration of East Germany, but the medieval documents were not among the records. It was assumed that they had been lost. In the 1970s Lübeck documents were found in the archives of the USSR. In 1990, after some negotiation, the town's medieval records, including Wallace and Murray's letter, were returned to Lübeck.

It is now kept in the National Archives of Lübeck but has been on loan to Scotland several times. The Society Of William Wallace were given an exact copy of the letter a a couple of years ago from Lübeck. Unfortunately the original is only allowed to be displayed for short times due to the age of the document and fragile state it is in, being over 720 years old.

The Scottish government has long yearned for both letters and have requested that the National Archives in Kew and Lübeck donate the letters to Scotland. That hasn’t happened, although Kew has agreed to a long-term loan of the Safe Conduct letter.

How to Recruit Top Sales Executives: Key Strategies for Success

Hiring a worthy sales executive can turn out to make all the difference for your company. Sales executives bring in revenues, forge relationships with clients, and promote market expansion for your brand. Yet, recruiting such talent does not come easily. Talent recruitment demands planning, specifying the role, and strategizing for maximum attraction of candidates. We will analyze valuable strategies for recruiting sales executives successfully to build a top-performing sales team.

Understanding the Role of a Sales Executive

Prior to venturing into recruitment, it might be useful to understand what exactly a sales executive does and what kinds of skills allow one to succeed in this field. The sales executive is a business creator, a client relationship person, and a person who pursues sales targets. Communication and negotiation skills, along with industry experience and awareness of its changes, are required for this post.

When you recruit a sales executive, consider preparing a job description reflecting the actual responsibilities and expectations of the position. An advanced description will let the candidate know if he or she is right for the job and help you draw person with the right skills.

Crafting an Attractive Job Description for Sales Executives

Your job description is the first interaction potential candidates are ever likely to have with you, so having an attractive one can act like a huge magnet. Begin by highlighting the primary responsibilities of the position, including sales strategies, marketing research, and management of customer relationships. Companies grow and develop as it is, so give candidates prospective opportunity to further their careers in your firm. The achievements and all the skills required, such as tested experience in sales, industry knowledge, and good interpersonal skills, should, of course, be stated.

Make sure the sales executive job description reflects your values and company culture because these are the very people clients deal with once they get to know your company. It is important that they work in harmony with your culture for continued success.

Sourcing Candidates: Where to Look for Top Sales Executives

After having retrained the perfect description, the next step will be to source candidates. Sales executives can be recruited through several avenues, which include job boards, professional networks, and recruitment agencies. LinkedIn remains quite popular for attracting seasoned sales professionals. Candidate searches by particular skills in specified industries will definitely help in narrowing your list of applicants.

Besides online job platforms, consider utilizing your network and industry events. Networking is certainly the best route for reaching talented people. Attend conferences, trade shows, and business seminars attended by sales professionals within your field. Another good way to hire a sales executive is through employee referrals, since team members often know qualified candidates within their network.

Screening and Evaluating Sales Executive Candidates

After the candidates have been received, it is time for an evaluation of the candidates. The screening procedure should go deeper than just rushing through the CVs. It is essential to do in-depth interviews and assess how well the candidate can sell, negotiate, and communicate. Interviews should assess previous performance, the sales track record, and how the candidate has met challenges in his or her prior capacities.

Look for sales executives who can prove their success with figures. A sales executive who has constantly hit targets is a good indicator of whether he or she would be able to carry out the same functions in your organization.

Assessing for cultural fit should be a strategic component of the evaluation process. Sales reps will often have to work alongside departments; therefore, they must fit the company's mission and values. There are other considerations, such as their outlook towards customer relationships and working as part of a team.

Effective Interviewing Techniques for Sales Executive Roles

Use behavioral interview techniques when interviewing candidates for the sales executive post. These questions usually revolve around what people did in the past to succeed in similar circumstances. For example, you might ask, "Tell me about a time when you closed a deal under challenging circumstances," or "How do you handle objections during a sales pitch?"

These questions will inform you about their problem-solving capabilities, persistence, and general approach to sales. Another alternative is role-playing sales situations so recruiters can see candidates applying their skills. This enables you to better judge their sales skills and client interaction ability.

Offering Competitive Compensation Packages

Sales executives are usually proven to be very much motivated by incentives and commissions. In order to get the best talent, you must put together a competitive compensation package that fills all the requirements of the industry so that it gives proper motivation for performance. A heavy base salary would have to go together with a commission structure that measures against sales; otherwise, you may never find the sales executive willing to be motivated to succeed any further.

Other than salary and commission, companies should look at such things as health insurance, retirement plans, paid time-off, and so on in their offerings. A great benefits package presents your firm as being caring toward all its employees, who are very important to the company. This could be the factor that some prospective candidates will weigh heavily on.

Onboarding and Training New Sales Executives

Recruitment is not finished with the making of an employment offer to a candidate. Once you have chosen your new sales executive, a bigger hiring process will be required comprehensive onboarding and training programs, to help them become successful in their role. Ensure that they get versed in the company's products or services, sales processes, and customer personas.

Getting the new sales executive off to a really good start will build confidence and provide support during the transition into the role. Teach them on the job so they keep developing their skills and stay abreast of industry trends.

Retaining Top Sales Executives

Hereafter, attracting and recruiting the best sales talent would be an initial step. The retention of the same is another hurdle. They would nurture environments in which they feel supported and challenged, and get rewarded for their performance. Regular performance reviews, opportunities for growth, and a positive culture can do wonders to keep your top sales talent engaged.

From an appreciation or reward perspective, recognize and celebrate the achievements- public praises, bonuses, promotions, etc. The sales executive who feels appreciated is the one who will stay with you and continue to perform well.

Conclusion: Building a High-Performing Sales Team

Recruiting great sales executives will never be a quick fix; it will rather be a process requiring planning, commitment, and a clear understanding of what creates a sales professional in the first place. Via the avenues of job descriptions, sourcing candidates from multiple channels, thoroughly interviewing potential candidates, and then paying them a competitive salary, together with top-notch training-needless to say, sales executives who drive your business will indeed be recruited.

So, if you adhere to these techniques, you will truly be establishing a highly effective sales team that directly causes the growth and success of your organization.

After the little feast to celebrate the succesful supply raid, Hux calls a meeting. To Vi Moradi's protest that a defector who has barely proven himself to the Resistance cannot just order everyone around, he haughtily replies that attendance isn't compulsary.

Rose and Finn have to smooth over the situation, while Hux goes to prepare a presentation in the command bunker.

Rose makes sure to convince all technicians to attend, but even though she promises it'll be worth their while, sitting in for another speech given by the Starkiller base commander is difficult for everyone. After all, the last time Hux' has spoken to the general public, it had been followed by a star system losing four planets.

The audience's eyes light up when the couple reveals the lecture's topic: Hyperspace tracking, the First Order's surveillance trick that a year after it has gotten revealed is still the bane of many a Resistance operation.

In all his time of feeding the Resistance intel, Hux has never considered sharing his most prestigous patent with them. But times have changed and while he cannot stop the four new suns from burning, Hux can move forward from that point.

Even if it means admitting a rather embarassing fact...

Hux: "There are actually two approaches to trackerless hyperspace tracking. The first is what we internally called the Snoke Edition, because we mainly bothered with it to placate the Supreme Leader enough to grant us time and funds to work on the actual project.

This approach relies on calculating every possible path a ship could take through hyperspace just from taking a snapshot of its entry vector. The general idea has been around since long before the clone wars already, but just isn't feasible. No computer array is powerful enough to make that many calculations in a short time.

Tarkin... Erso... Krennic... they all had failed. Seeing the mess of research data that we had inherited, I decided... to... uh, fake it."

Hux turns to his girlfriend. Knowing that speaking in front of even a group as small as this isn't Rose' strength, and she therefore willnot raise her voice, even though she must be bursting inside from wanting to elaborate, he nudges her:

"You figured out what I did. Do you want to explain it?"

And sure enough these words grant Rose the confidence to recount what she had deduced last year:

"The trick is to erect a static hyperspace field around a computer. Time inside this field flows differently, allowing calculations to get finished - from our perspective - in record time."

Rose: "While the First Order's prototype on the Supremacy consisted of several top notch computers and extensive databases, Armi and me were able to recreate the effect on a smaller scale.

So if in the near future you need something - anything - calculated really fast, you can use this computer, that is older than..."

Savi: "...me!"

Rose: "Hehe, I didn't want to say it."

Hux: "I didn't back then invent Hyperspace Tracking. Me and my team merely improved a tool. In doing so I slapped a patch on the wound that was our inability to get the process working."

It's not an information one would willingly reveal to the enemy. Even moreso than building the localized hyperspace field for the Resistance, Hux' admitting to have "failed" his assignment is further evidence that he has broken with his former allegiance.

The military engineer goes on explaining his own version of hyperspace tracking, that for the most part relies on scanning naturally occuring trackers, like a vehicle's hyperdrive's frequency and ionization rate or neutrino clusters.

It still takes a vast network of beacons to check for where the mark turns up again, but the actual scanner that grabs the signature can fit into a regular TIE.

Rose: "So if we change the hyperdrive's modulation a split second before the jump, the pursuer can't make use of their snapshot..."

Of course Rose would say this! He invents things, she takes them apart, that's how it always has been and they wouldn't want to have it otherwise.

The discussion goes on well into the evening, and after a while the other Resistance technicians join in.

Finn: "Regrets, shithead?"

Hux: "Not about the things you all want me to feel guilty about. I acted correctly within the framework of the information at my disposal and the options open to me. But no regrets about having turned away from that, either. Not anymore."

some thoughts on twst en unique magic/signature spell localization

***Spoilers for chapter 4 of the main story + Trey’s UM!***

I can excuse Trey’s UM being changed from “Doodle Suit” in JP to “Paint the Roses” in EN; the Kanji for Trey’s UM name in the original read as “Paint the Roses”, so it makes sense why EN might go with that name over “Doodle Suit”. The term “Paint the Roses” also has a more obvious and direct reference to Alice in Wonderland, which fits with the vibes of TWST EN (it has a lot more added Disney movie references than what was originally in the JP version). However, I will say that it is slightly jarring to read different words than what the character is speaking (and therefore what I am hearing).

Meanwhile, I cannot say that I completely understand the decision to change Jamil’s “Snake Whisper” to “Snake Charmer” for EN. “Snake Whisper” made so much sense. Jamil is often characterized as a snake (the popular JP fandom emoji to represent him even IS a snake), so when he speaks his UM, he is literally becoming the snake whispering in Kalim’s ear to influence his words and his actions. This is similar, of course, to how Jafar used his snake staff to manipulate the Sultan into doing his bidding in the Aladdin movie.

Personally, I think the localized name, “Snake Charmer”, robs us of a lot of the nuance that “Snake Whisper” had. At first glance, the name seems to make sense, especially considering the effect his magic has on others... but then think back to how Jamil has been characterized so far and it suddenly makes less sense. If Jamil is shown to be the “snake in the grass”, why is he “charming” other people??? Doesn’t that imply that other people, including Kalim, are the snakes, not him? If I’m being generous, maybe this could be excused because, in Jamil’s eyes, the world is his enemy, the place full of snakes that has robbed him of his rightful place. Maybe to him, he isn’t a snake. But honestly? I’m pretty sure Jamil knows he is being underhanded and that he has to be—why else would be work in secret to dethrone Kalim? The same goes for Jafar in the original movie (he worked in secret because he was aware what he was doing would be frowned on by others), which means the new name commits the act of actually obscuring a Disney reference in a UM name.

Going back to the original UM, “Snake Whisper” works well because it better alludes to his personality. As the JP term implies, a “unique” magic is just that: unique to each person, a power formed and cultivated in part by one’s personality and individual traits. In this case, the “whisper” part of “Snake Whisper” may refer not only refer to Jamil’s ability, but also the type of person he is. He works quietly, secretively.

“Snake Charmer”, by comparison, kind of gives the wrong impression of Jamil. Most people associate being a “charmer” with being flirtatious which Jamil definitely is not. He’s nice, sure, but nice is not always a synonym for charming. In fact, the game makes it a point to tell us that Jamil doesn’t stand out and is seen as very “average” by his peers, so he isn’t seen as “charming”, amicable, or even persuasive (another definition for the word “charming”) by most. If we consider the full phrase, “Snake Charmer”, that somehow makes things worse because it can come off as orientalist (not that Aladdin was free of problems, but this just adds to them). Like... do you think the EN audience won’t understand the concept of Jamil’s UM unless you dumb it down to a stereotype? Disney already has a poor track record when it comes to representing other cultures, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised but... we all expect that they do better.

It’s just a baffling and confusing move overall, and I don’t get it 😞

On the producer/actor commentary track, Tony Curran actually mentioned something that I had definitely been thinking about, which is that Mina should have been able to hear the high frequency second sound on the record as well, given that she's a vampire with bat powers and, in addition to bats echolocating via high frequency sounds, therefore fits the 'lower animals' description for who and what can hear it; we do see her looking up and around warily as if she can hear something that is otherwise inaudible later, but only after the villain has already revealed it to everyone.

That said, I think you make it work by handwaving it as that she did hear it, but didn't think it was noteworthy or assumed it was coming from elsewhere in the Nautilus, and as someone with bat powers and traits, it wouldn't be painful for her the way it obviously was for Jekyll and Hyde, and Jekyll seems to have extremely sensitive hearing or auditory sensory issues as a side effect of Hyde being more animalistic, as he also covered one ear when he heard the ringing while everyone else was merely startled, then did a full-body cringe and covered both ears when the Nautilus is sinking and a lot of metal is grinding against other metal to make high-pitched noises; if you want to tie it back to the source material, this could also be a nod to Jekyll describing the experiencing of new sensations as Hyde in his final statement.

Regarding Hyde reacting in the mirror, I suppose there is more than one way to interpret what's going on there, but since I ascribe to Jekyll and Hyde being one mind in one body with two forms, I read it as being that Jekyll initially hears and is pained by the sound, dismisses it when Mina asks if he's all right bc it's probably nothing, but continues hearing it while willfully ignoring it, and since Hyde is arguably his subconscious and unrestrained self, what he sees in the mirror and hears as Hyde warning him to turn off the phonograph is that deep down, he knows something is wrong, but isn't willing to confront and admit it to himself and the others, and in light of commentary about how his character is trying very hard to prove to the rest of the team that he's stable and in control, it makes sense that he wouldn't be open about something that points towards him possibly going into monster mode; and given how he still doesn't believe that he and Hyde are one and the same, I can also see him not wanting to accept that if he in his fully human form and mind as Jekyll can hear sounds 'higher than humans can hear, audible to dogs and lower animals', then the line between him and Hyde is now far more blurred than he thought, even physically.

EXACTLY. Adam definitely fits in with these Canada boys and is happy. And he's literally said that he chose the ushl and ncaa because if he went to the whl he wouldn't have been draft eligible for a few more years and that he thought it would be best for his development to play against older people who are more physical rather than kids his age.

okay i am gonna clear things up for everyone JUST SO WE DON’T GET IT WRONG AND MIXED UP

why adam fantilli didn’t go to the ohl

1) denied exceptional status and bumped back down to his own age group

idk who many people actually know that the year they played each other in the OHL cup, both shane and adam were playing a year ahead of their age group in the ‘03 group. adam and shane both applied for exceptional status at the time but adam was denied and shane was accepted. this makes sense, they usually only grant 1 person per age group exceptional status no matter how many apply. however, this became problematic for adam because while shane was allowed to play in the ohl and continue along with the ‘03 age group, he was not. adam actually switched teams temporarily from the red wings back to the jr. canadiens to go BACK to his age group with his peers because he wasn’t old enough to go to the ojhl or the ohl. this meant he was playing with lesser teammates and in a whole new team dynamic he hadn’t been apart of for years. without that exceptional status year, he was actually going to be quite a few years behind the 03s draft wise due to his late birthday. therefore he searched for a new route to try to continue playing with better competition and teammates.

2) luca

i won’t deny that missing luca probably was a huge factor for adam going to kimball union in particular. he has never played without his brother being at home and that was definitely tough on him. i think they have a deep connection and a strong bond and i have no doubts that adam most of all wanted to be near luca wherever he played hockey.

3) he’s a pat brisson client

sorry to say but there’s a known track record of pat brisson clients specifically on the umich team taking unconventional routes in development. for example, briss went to shattuck before the ushl which is quite unusual considering he grew up in la. as well, bords headed to the ntdp based on the hughes suggestion; jim hughes, pat’s employee. you also have to look no further than jonathan toews (shattuck -> college), sidney crosby (shattuck -> qmjhl), and nathan mackinnon (shattuck -> qmjhl) to realize that there is a trend of his high profile clients going to prep school instead of playing chl and/or cjhl. i would bet money that if a spot on the kimball union team hadn’t opened up, adam would have shipped himself over to shattuck or another prep school.

4) the ohl team that drafted him was rebuilding

again, i have no idea how many people know that adam actually was drafted into the ohl quite high and he considered going. like look he even did a prospects feature for them just like everyone else. he actually made his decision to sign an letter of intent with umich quote late in the game, only a year before his intended freshman year. the reason was, the saginaw spirit owned his ohl rights and despite already committed to playing in the ushl, he still wanted to canvas his options. the spirit were very very good before the covid-19 pandemic hit and were probably an option for adam considering they were poised to win. it was also in michigan, so he could be close to luca as well. however, by the time the 2021-22 season rolled around, the spirit were in a much different place. many of their star players had aged out of the ohl during the cancelled season and they did not collect enough draft capital to replace it. they lost the majority of their games that season and were actively starting to rebuild, as they are now. they traded his rights away to the north bay battalion, who were also not good at the time, under defected player rules because they knew he wasn’t coming to them during their current rebuild. saginaw is also a small market compared to chicago and ann arbor for hockey.

5) his best friend rutger was committed to umich

not enough is made about how adam had a whole surrounding community that was dedicated to umich. his brother AND his best friend from the time he was 14 were both going there and it was probably a simple decision to make when just considering that. he loves them and would follow them to umich too.

so there you go! all the big reasons why adam decided to go to umich and NOT the ohl. it has nothing to do with him feeling like he’s being bullied by his peers or feeling shit on by people who he thinks are his friends. not at all. it’s also not him using luca as a crutch or anything. simply that it comes down the numbers and ages just making sense for him and him wanting to be close to rutger and luca (but not only that). suggesting otherwise is just conveniently twisting facts to match the idea that adam hates canada.

I need to see Ernst Schmidt throw a jealousy fit, it can end fluff or smut, but I just want all his anger being directed to reader

It's a good day to be an Ernst fan huh

It was common knowledge that Ernst and Volkov didn't get along. Every day they were at each other's throats for the silliest of reasons. Volkov claimed it was Ernst's fault they hadn't been able to get the ship to work yet, and Ernst, being the short-tempered man that he was, would try to shut him up by plumming his face in.

Every day the team were having to break the two of them apart, and it would be your duty to take him away and calm him down. You were the only member of the crew he would listen to during that time, and the way your voice spoke to him, how gentle you were, it calmed his nerves, enough to promise not to attack Volkov the next time he saw him.

But today strikes the first difference.

You and Volkov were on your own, working on repairing some panelling. You were handing him a screwdriver while he was fixing up the wires in the panel and he made a suggestive remark about it. You chuckled, knowing it was just his humour and joked back to him equally. This started off a sort of flirty banter between the two of you. It was harmless and you both knew that nothing would come of this, yes you were dating Ernst but it was simply a joke nothing more, so why not have a bit of fun?

What the two of you were unaware about though, was that the intercom was on in your room, and a certain German man had been working on fixing the recording function and heard every word the two of you said.

He knew the two of you weren't dating, and therefore he had no reason to be jealous. But he was.

How could you betray his trust, flirt with the one man that hated his guts? He thought the relationship the two of you had actually meant something, but now it was clear to see you treated it the same way you would treat a piece of mud.

Feeling the rage swarm him, without finishing his work he charged down to the station you were on. He flung the door open, letting it crash against the wall. Both you and Volkov jumped, staring wide-eyed at the man.

"What the hell" Volkov growled, getting off his ladder to storm towards Ernst, yet before he had a chance to defend himself Ernst was on top of him, shoving him to the ground and repeatedly punching him in the face, not caring about the blood that started to splatter his hands.

Eventually, the rest of the crew pulled him off Volkov, pushing him to the other side of the room where they looked at you to help calm him. Gently you stepped forward to take his hand and guide him out of the room but as you spoke his name, his dark eyes fixed upon you, rage as clear as day within them and it made you halt in your tracks in sudden fear.

This time it was Ernst who grasped your wrist, so tightly it would bruise. He pulled you out of the room harshly. He pulled you along the corridors, his pace not slowly for a moment. You called out to him, asking where he was leading you but he did answer.

Finally, he reached a spot where he knew the two of you wouldn't be interrupted. Pulling you in, he slammed the door, the proceeded to slam you on the door.

"What the fuck were you doing" he growled as his hands clasped your suit tightly, his body pressed up against yours.

"I, I don't know what you mean"

His fists tightened on your clothes, and he spat onto the floor, trying to bring his anger across to you.

"I heard all the flitch you two were saying through the intercom. Every. Single. Word"

You whimpered before him, guilt swarming you as you finally saw behind all the anger in his eyes, was a deep sorrowing pain.

"Ernst, it was just a joke!" you tried to claim, making him laugh bitterly at you, letting you go.

"Haha, some joke there. Flirting with another man, that's so funny" he replied sarcastically, pacing the room to try and alleviate his anger.

"I swear I won't do it again" you claim, despite your mind telling you not to, you take another step towards him.

He breathed in heavily, trying to regain some composure, but ultimately losing.

"No, you won't" he hissed, taking a step towards you, "Because, after tonight, everyone on this goddam ship will know you belong to me. None of them will dare say anything like that to you again"

Unknowingly to you, Ernst still had one of the microphones connecting to everyone's earpieces in his pocket, and without you noticing, he flicked the switch on.

He pushed you back against the wall, his lips pressing onto you and you instantly responded. With one hand you grasped ahold of his uniform while with the other you buried it into his hair, tugging at it as he pushed his tongue into your mouth.

It was hot, heavy, messy but passionate and you felt yourself just melting into it. While still holding you, his hands digging into the skin on your waist, he pulled you away from the door and over to a table. Finally, when you bumped against it, he pulled his lips away from you.

With his hands, he grasped your uniform and tore it as if it were paper. You gasped at the sensation, goosebumps raking up your arms making you shudder.

His hands palmed your breasts, giving them a harsh squeeze that caused you to moan loudly, and Ernst smirked knowing how everyone else would be hearing it.

Holding your hips tightly, he quickly flipped you over and tore off the rest of your hanging uniform, making your bare skin touch the cold metal of the table.

"Ernst" you whined, pushing your hips back against the bludge you felt in his pants, craving to feel him inside of you.

"So needy for me" he muttered, running his fingers down your back slowly, "you're really just a slut, aren't you"

"Yes!" you groaned, pushing your head onto the table, "Please God, I need you Ernst"

He pulled his belt off, then gathered up your wrists. You whined as he tied them around your arms, securing your hands together and then tying the end part to a handlebar on the wall, securing you so you couldn't move.

"Fine then, if that's what a slut like you needs, I'll have you calling out my name so that everyone can hear just who you truly belong to"

With that he quickly unfastened his own uniform, holding his dick in one hand. He didn't even need to prepare you, for you had already come wet from anticipation, and so with placing one hand your back stilling you, in one swift motion, he thrust into you.

He groaned at the sensation of your warm walls instantly grasping him, pulling him in. He could almost forgive you due to the bliss you were causing him, but he knew he had to teach you a lesson if you weren't to flirt with anyone else again.

He raised his hand and brought it down upon your ass, slapping it harshly, making you cry out at the sudden pain. As he started to thrust fastly into you, he continued to spank you, making you cry out from the overwhelming pleasure and pain that raked through you.

You bit your lip in an attempt to stop all the noises leaving you, but when he noticed his hand snaked up to your throat, lingering there as a warning.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you, Schatz. You know just how much I love to hear those little lewd noises you make"

As you let go of your lip, he determinedly thrust as far as he could into you, hitting your cervix. You cried out his name, the only word in your mind anymore and he smirked, knowing finally you were his and his alone.

He continued to pound away, and when your orgasm ripped through you, he still thrust through it, leaving you a whimpering, twitching mess on the table as he used you.

And you loved every second of it where he made you his.

[afoxysunny]

Alright this is gonna be a long one so my apologies in advance, idk how to do a "read more" cut on mobile

So like i asked avout in my previous post this is my thoughts on what fnaf animatronic each Lazytown character would like best if the freddy fazbear franchise was an actual chain in the Lazytown universe (i know, oddly specific)

So I'm thinking we'll start with Ladys First and then go down in a somewhat but not really organized manner

Stephanie: Funtime Foxy

How convenient that Funtime Foxy has pink in their design, that's a little bonus for our Pinky.

Furthermore i choose this pair bc it makes a lot of sense in relation to other picks i made which will make sense to you if you're familiar with fnaf (namely Ella, Trixie, Sportacus and Robby all have a fav that relates to Funtime Foxy in some)

Also Funtime Foxy always had that toss-up if they count as a female or male animatronic and with Stephanie's wild mix of stereotypically male and female interests and hobbies it's a match made in heaven

(also, totally throwing shade, if i was going by the way Steph is portrayed in later seasons her fav would just be Chica bc girl. Yes that's how shallow i feel like they made her, I'm no small part salty)

Ella: Balora

Very obvious choice here for the ballet motive in both characters

But also because Balora is blind and i always headcanon Ella as mute so i think she'd relate to an also slightly impeded character

Balora also has that creepy can-walk-on-walls-like-a-spider thing going on if she's removed from her track and Ella likes to hide a very mischievious side behind her cute exterior so they just overall vibe

Trixie: Lolbit

That way the two best friends have matching Animatronics, yeey

Lolbit was also originally planned to be really important for the lore of the games but ended up totally shafted and barely appearing at all in the end. But if and when she was in a game she got a special and unique role and that's juat totally Trixie

Stingy: Golden Freddy

Goooooold

Also Golden Freddy is a one of a kind, unique, only exists once, special Freddy and our greedy boi would be all over that

Honorable mention: Pigpatch

The others keep telling Stingy that he can't have more than one fav so he just started telling them that Pigpatch is his Piggy's fav and bc he speaks for his Piggy he gets to have two favs and the others just grew too tired to debate that so checkmate)

Ziggy: Candycadet

Another really obvious pick, he gives out candy after all!

Plus that animatronic is not as big or bulky or heavy or anything like the others so the little coward is less intimidated by it and he feels less small next to it too

But if he's pressed to pick a fav from the main line animatronics to fit the other kids' picks he also does enjoy Bonnie a lot (he grew to like that one bc of Sportacus' pick)

Pixel: Freddy

Pixel is just the kind of kid to root for the hero, he likes the main characters best so of course his fav is the franchise mascot!

I'd also like to say tho that if it wasn't a "normal pizzeria" to the kids he'd love Ennard for the really cool mechanical robotic look that one has

On to the adults!

Bessy: Phone Guy

She probably always says picking a fav is childish and therefore refuses to answer the question outright but every time they go to a pizzeria she ends up endlessly talking to those pre-recorded tapes that are actually just meant to rattle off rules for kids who can't read yet

Robbie: Foxy

He's a meme! He's a pirate! There's so many reasons for this pick

Foxy only moves when you don't pay enough attention to him but once he gets going there's basically no stopping him

Also both of them chose to live seperated from all the others and alone far away from the main stages

And Foxes hunt Bunnies which leads me to

Sportacus: Toy Bonnie

He's blue! He's slick! Another one with a lot of great reasons imo

Bonnie also plays electric guitar.

And as a bunny he'd jump around a lot

And he's one of the most modern animatronics

Do i need to say more?

Milford: nope

He honestly finds all the animatronics really unsettling and creepy but bc the kids love it there he also had to spend a lot of time at Freddy's and specifically the one we know as Sister Location so he grew to appreciate Funtime Freddy.

He's a little related to Stephanie's fav

The funtime version isn't such a top dog as the other Freddys which makes Milford feel less under pressure somehow

And the little Bonbon plushy on his hand reminds him of Bessy bc its blue and she likes bunnies a lot

BONUS ROUND

Glanni: Springtrap!

It's criminal - criminal solidarity

Yes i know he shouldn't technically know about him if they aren't ganes but establishments but Glanni breaks the fourth wall a bunch and he deserves the deranged weirdo as his fav.

Springtrap could canonically be a cryptic creepypasta like ghoststory people who outgrow the kids friendly pizzeria branding tell each other

Both stole suits they wear for all eternity to torment kids with, it's a great match

Also he picked that one to mess with his Sports Elf

Íþróttaálfurinn (GGíL) : Spring Bonnie

Aka Golden Bonnie

The not fucked up version of Springtrap

the colors match you guys, it's funny

And Spring Bonnie was one of the OG animatronics that helped make the franchise what it is today. He may be outdated and a little rough around the edges but he's beloved by older fans still

Íþróttaálfurinn (ÁL) : the Puppet

Aka Marionette

The unintentionally creepiest animatronic

Means really well but the means it goes to to help the dead kids out were questionable at best; i think he can identify with that xD

If anyone knows about the violence this franchise holds then it would definitely be him but he's not gonna tell anyone bc fear burns calories and makes people jump and run away. He sees this as an absolute win

Also the Puppet jumps out of a box and loud music starts playing, it really fits that weird elf
