Do you believe that Vanessa could become Vanny in the film's universe?
Maybe if Springtrap appears in FNAF 2 there could be chances of seeing Vanny in a third film
lol it's just an assumption but 👀
I believe that anything is possible in the FNAF franchise and that it's highly likely considering Vanessa is literally known for her counterpart Vanny more than she is known for herself. I find it hard to believe they're not going to throw in at least a few references to Vanny in the movies, even if its just easter eggs and not super important to the lore of the movies. But god, what I would give to see a murderous Elizabeth Lail on my screen again oml,,,,,,,
THAT BEING SAID-- I cannot see Vanny being a character in the FNAF 2 movie unless its a flashback of Vanessa working under her father. Because as Vanessa's arc is at the end of the FNAF movie, she's finally free of her father for the first time in her life. She risked her life and the only family she had to save Mike and Abby and break the cycle of violence her father had created. If she were to become a, it a murderous furry, it feels almost like an insult to her character and the themes she represents and another "under Spring Bonnie/Springtrap/Glitchtrap's control" arc seems redundant.
My personal thoughts is that Vanessa reclaims the rabbit persona her father had twisted and turned into a monstrous thing and dons the rabbit suit whilst hunting down William once and for all. Creation kills the creator and all that (like the Stitchwraith and Phineas Taggert in the Fazbear Frights books, unrelated but just saying that it's been done in this franchise before).

SCi Fi classics Revisited :Galaxy Quest
For the second sci fi classic Iam revisiting is a personal favorite as well as being beloved by many sci fi fans ,the 1999 film Galaxy Quest
The film follows the cast of the show Galaxy Quest,,a classic scifi TV show ,whose careers have kind of washed up and now mostly make cash by going to conventions and making personal appearences , when they are enlisted by an alien race known as the Thermians to save their people ,as they think they are real space heroes
OK the Premise is great ,but what I love about the film is itdoesnt coast on the premise ,it explores it.Like the obvious joke of the film ,is "What if the castof Star Trek where contacted by aliens who thought Star Trek was real",and while Trek is the obvious inspiration what works about the film is its a bit more then just a Trek parody .I see the film as a story of a bunch of actors becoming the heroes they are seen tobe and a love letter to the positive aspects of fandom.(Alao dont know where to put this but my favorite little refrence in the film is not to Star Trek,but to A Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare,as the lead character of the the show within the film is Commander Peter Quincey Taggert,named after Peter Quince ,the leader of a group of actors )
The filmis masterful in something I think is lacking in modern comedy ,the characters are funny, the situationslead to humor,but there is a heart to the story and the situation does have stakes .Part of that is the film really sells normal people in this sci fiworld,both in the writing (Like I love that they explain why the Thermians look humanoid ,they use translators and devices to appear humanoid when they are actually octopus like cretures ) but allso the effects.The film had the best of the best of that time,ILM for the visual effects and Stan Winston for the Creatures ,tomake the science fiction elements feel real.Alsofilm is fullofgreat set pieces
The cast helps make the movie ,aa the filmhas a calvacade of great performers and all work eachother beautifullly and all get their time to shine .I'm gonna devide the cast into sections
The Villain :Sarris is a severely underrated villain in my oppinion,in that he is the most serious character in the film ,a sadistic brutal warlord .Played by the late great Robin Sachs,I lovehis performance cause he is COVERED in makeup to make him the insectoid lizard cyborg beast ,and yet he feeels very natural ,with Sachs bringing tolife just this malicious monster and I adore his voice ,they way he barks most of his lines is effective.I also like that apart from really two moments ,he is played straight and not really comedically (With one of his comedic moments being fairly dark ).my favorite moment is when he finds out the group are actors and 1.He lets out this amused yet malicious chuckle 2.Forces our lead character Jason to confess to the Thermian leader Mathasar the truth and just softly says"He doesnt understand.Explain as if he were a child ".
The Thermians :The Thermians are a race of aliens that have mistooken the old Galaxy Quest TV show for historical documents ,and are so inspired that it has united theirpeople and modled their civilization on its ideals .I think what makes the Thermians work is their goofyness is sincere ,they are sweet goodhearted people who are just a little offfrom humans,and a lot of praise can be put at their actors ,with Jed Resse as Teb being particularly funny (Who has the funniest scene in the movie when a teleporter goes wrong) ,theres a sweet love story between Missi Pyle as Laliari and one of the heroes Fred ,PAtrick Breen as Queleik has a truly heartwarming relationship with Alexander Dane ,and Enrico Colantoni is so funny yet so lovable as the Thermian leader Mathasar,he is one of my favorite parts of the film.Also you get Rainn Wilson in his film debut.....Notmuch to say,just fun tosee him
The Crew:I love themain performers here.This is not only a great ensamble of actors ,its a great group of characters.This was not the only film to do the "Actor turned hero "type story (Fight Night comes to mind ),but what I think makes this stand apart is its not just about them being heroes ,it isabout them realizing their work mattersto people and them patching up relationships with eachother.Our main character is Jason Nesmith ,played by Tim Allen in what I think is his best role .Jason,wo played the Commander on the show , is a guy who can be egotsit and can showboat for the fans ,but is actually a lonely guy who has alienated hisformer castmates and has particularly strained relationships with Gwen and Alexander ,and Allan while still getting funny scenes gets toshow offhis dramtic skills ,particularly the scene where he confesses to Mathasar .Gwen DeMarco is played by sci fi legend Sigourney Wever ,really getting to show off her comedic capabilities and I swear she gets some ofthe funniest lines.ALexander Dane is possibly the most memorable character ,due to a brillaint performance by the late great Alan Rickman (In one of his best performances ) as a rather bitter Shakesperian actor who has come to resent being associated with this silly sci fi show ,and in particular,sick and tired of hearing his catchphrase "By Grabthars Hammer " said all the time ,he is dryly funny and yet gets a truly emotional subplot .Tony Shaloub is fantastic as Fred Kwan ,this mellow chill dude who takes all the weird space stuff in stride ,and even falls in love with an alien .The always awesome Sam Rockwell plays Guy Fleegman the second funniest of the main crew ,a guy who was a crewmember who was killed by one monster in one episode ....And he is damn proud of it ,cause he is a fan of the show but that also means he's the most trope savvy which gives him an existential crisis due to being the "Expendable " crew member .Finally we have Daryl Mitchell as Tommy Webber ,who was on the show as a kid .He has some great jokes ,and being the pilot there are some funny moments there
One last character to touch on is Justin Long (In his film debut ) as a Galaxy Quest fan , who also ends up helping save the day
So I have been praising the film a lot ,do I think its perfect ?No ,but my only problemis a nitpick and that is there are too many fake outsnear the end and by end Sarris is just a snarling bad guy,wouldve liked some banter
Overall this is 1.A great comedy 2.An enjoyable sci fi film 3.A wonderful exploration of fandom .If you havent seen this movie,SEE IT

Bookcast 85: WE'RE BACK!
Welcome to episode 85 of the Bookcast, my platform for sharing short fiction and updates on what I'm reading and writing. I'm DL White, author of contemporary romantic fiction novels that center Black love and relationships. I'm also a big fan of books, so we usually begin with the book report, then we talk about writing and topics of the day.
I’m currently editing The Pearl, a Black Diamond romance.
The Bookcast is a production of Books by DL White, written, edited, produced and supported by ME. If you'd love to back me up, I'd be most grateful.

LISTEN TO TODAY’S SHOW (GRAB A TRANSCRIPT HERE)
The Book Report
I have read 74 books of my challenge to read 150 books this year. I am 18 books ahead on my Goodreads challenge. I read 16 books in April, most of them romance but as soon as I finished The Pearl, I dove right into mysteries and thrillers because I try not to read them when I am writing steamy, dramatic, happy and hopeful romance.
So far I have read 12 books in May and I realized that I overextended myself on NetGalley. I had about six books I needed to read and review by their May 21st Pub day. Yikes. Some I might wait for audio but a few are romances, which I blow through very easily so I’m not worried. I do want to talk about what I read this week.

My book ended up at just over 76K Words, so she is a big, fine woman. This book is not as long as I used to write— some of my earlier works are over 100K words. I’ve learned to be a smidge more succinct and stop myself from writing a 100K word TOME.
I have the document back from my editor. We complete two full passes, so I have work to do! Once I complete the initial pass, I send it back to her and begin my front/back matter, perfect my back cover copy and make final edits to the cover.

Book, No. 7 Notre Dame run by USF 52-0 to extend home streak
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Ian E-book ran for 3 first-half touchdowns and No. 7 Notre Dame received its 20th straight house sport 52-Zero towards South Florida on Saturday.
Coach Brian Kelly’s Combating Irish (2-0) led 35-Zero at halftime and for the second 12 months in a row posted a 52-point shutout for defensive coordinator Clark Lea.
”We talked all week about the usual we had set for our soccer crew, and it is actually only a mindset for our offense,” Kelly stated. ”It was some extent of emphasis and we bought off to that quick begin and clearly that set the tone for the day.”
E-book, who began with three straight completions, capped the opening drive with a 4-yard landing run. He’s the primary quarterback in Notre Dame’s trendy period to run for 3 touchdowns in a single half. He added 143 yards on 12-of-19 passing earlier than exiting with 2:21 left within the third quarter as freshman Drew Pyne took over.
”Ian was higher at this time – he managed the issues we wished him to do,” Kelly stated. ”He led the crew to the quick begin we wished. He was tuned in and had an ideal week of apply. I appreciated his calmness within the pocket.”
Freshman Chris Tyree scored from a yard out about 5 minutes after E-book’s first TD. It by no means bought higher for the first-year coach Jeff Scott’s Bulls (1-1), who had been a late add to Notre Dame’s schedule after the Irish joined the Atlantic Coast Convention for this off season in a pandemic.
”They have a playoff-caliber crew they usually actually dominated the sport from the start to the top,” stated Scott, a former co-offensive coordinator for Dabo Swinney at Clemson. ”I felt like I used to be taking part in Clemson there for almost all of the day.”
Reserve C’Bo Flemister ran for a career-best 127 yards for Notre Dame because the Irish unfold the touches round between starter Kyren Williams (62 yards on 10 carries) and Tyree (65 on eight). The Irish completed with 281 speeding yards and 429 complete yards.
Jafar Armstrong added a 5-yard TD run to shut out the scoring for the Irish.
Story continues
In the meantime, the Irish protection restricted USF to 65 yards within the first half and 231 complete whereas breaking in three new starters. A complete of 9 gamers missed the sport with security Kyle Hamilton’s ankle harm and large receiver Ben Skowronek (hamstring) out with accidents. Notre Dame didn’t disclose the explanations the opposite eight didn’t play.
The Irish particular groups bought into the act within the third quarter with the assistance of a excessive snap over the top of USF punter Trent Schneider. When the Australian picked it up 36 yards behind the road of scrimmage, Osita Ekwonu blocked Schneider’s kick and freshman Jordan Botelho recovered the ball because it was going into the top zone for a 45-Zero lead with 3:23 left within the third quarter.
The Irish beat Bowling Inexperienced 52-Zero final season.
THE TAKEAWAY
South Florida: The Bulls could not muster something on offense in offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr.’s homecoming of kinds. The son of the previous Notre Dame coach, who was changed by Brian Kelly, used two quarterbacks within the first half. USF began Jordan McCloud and changed him with Noah Johnson however Weis bought little from both. Even large receiver Jah’Quez Evans lined as much as take a snap on a fourth-down pretend punt that misplaced 9 yards when Irish defensive finish Isaiah Foskey sniffed the play out.
”From our facet, clearly it was a really disappointing from the primary drive all through the sport,” Scott stated. ”We’re not going to make any excuses.”
Notre Dame: The Irish had touchdowns on 5 of their six possessions within the first half, whereas outgaining USF 279-65 within the first half. With E-book sitting out the second half and with the opposite gamers lacking for numerous causes, Kelly appreciated what he noticed.
”We stay on this world proper now and also you by no means are ready for it however conscious of it and know it could actually occur,” Kelly stated. ”Our gamers responded properly and so did our coaches.”
AMONG THE MISSING
Cornerback TaRiq Bracy and linebackers Marist Liufau and Shayne Simon, who shared the Buck place, had been additionally out for Notre Dame.
Jack Kiser, a former highschool quarterback and linebacker at close by Pioneer Excessive Faculty in Royal Heart, Indiana, bought the beginning and freshman Clarence Lewis began in Bracy’s place. Kiser had 9 solo tackles and was given the sport ball.
Additionally lacking with no rationalization had been No. 2 quarterback Brendon Clark, large receiver-punt returner Lawrence Keys III, working again Jahmir Smith and defensive lineman Ovie Oghoufo.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
The Irish, who rose to seventh in final week’s Related Press High 25, ought to be about the identical this week.

The degenerate’s guide to college football TV watch ‘em ups, 2019 season, week 4
The game of the week screams off the page but there are plenty of actually decent footballs happening on this here beautiful final Saturday of the summer.
Let’s see if I have the mental fortitude to write even a single word for each game, good or not. What the hell does good have to do with degeneracy, anyway?
Times are Eastern, schedule is stolen from FBSchedules and odds are ripped from Vegas Insider.
Saturday, September 21
Matchup Time (ET) TV/Mobile
11 Michigan at 13 Wisconsin 12:00pm FOX
You can throw out the rankings when these teams play because neither one of them has any business being ranked this highly! One of these teams will be basically out of the running for the playoffs by the time this is over. Everybody expects Michigan because Wisconsin hasn’t allowed a point this year and Michigan has mostly sucked so far in both of their games but this is the perfect place for a shitty Wolverines team to start tricking people. Wisconsin is up 110-0 on teams that are made of sawdust. Michigan is at least particle board, if not sterner. Wolverines +3, under 44.5.
Michigan State at Northwestern 12:00pm ABC
With an o/u a hilarious 36.5 I wouldn’t turn to this piece of shit if every single person on twitter were cryptically sending out tweets like “MICHIGAN!” and “nooooooooo” and “asdjseskrjhjsdbf” and “THERE’S STILL A WHOLE QUARTER LEFT!” You aren’t fooling me.
Western Michigan at Syracuse 12:00pm ACCN
What the hell is this ACCN thing, anyway? It’s just an ESPN skin but it’s got like 2% market penetration. At times like noon, September 21st, 2019, we can all be thankful for the unlikelihood of accidentally switching to ACCN while searching for football to gamble on.
ULM at Iowa State 12:00pm FS1
Louisiana-Monroe is a real dark horse contender for the Big XII title.
UConn at Indiana 12:00pm BTN
Webster’s dictionary defines the word “torture” as...
Tennessee at 9 Florida 12:00pm ESPN
I’ve had this weird premonition all week that Florida is totally going to fuck this up. On the one hand, the Gators should score more than 14 on defense. On the other hand, they should give up some points on offense. On the third hand, Tennessee is in a very bad place as a football program. Vols +14, under 49. But don’t put more than $1.50 on any of it.
Southern Miss at 2 Alabama 12:00pm ESPN2
Do people bet a lot on Bama games? Nick Saban seems to willfully undercut gamblers every week. The Tide are easily 39 points better than Southern Miss but they could realistically sit on a 24-0 lead for the entire second half.
Boston College at Rutgers 12:00pm BTN
BC just lost to Kansas by 24 and here they are favored by 8 the next week. Rutgers is probably really that bad but that still seems impossible. 32 points worse than Kansas? NAIA schools aren’t 32 points worse than Kansas.
23 California at Mississippi 12:00pm ESPNU
Don’t look now but 6 Pac teams were ranked in the top 25 this week. Rather, go look now. No way that lasts. Never trust a west coast team heading east for an early kickoff.
Elon at Wake Forest 12:00pm RSN
Wake Forest sucks but nobody sucks more than Elon Musk.
4 LSU at Vanderbilt 12:00pm SECN
Some things you can count on. One of them is LSU’s football team never making a goddamn lick of sense in any context.
Morgan State at Army 12:00pm CBSSN
The Troops have a -49 point line as I write this but apparently every other betting option is off the books? Not sure how that works but it’s probably illegal.
Coastal Carolina at UMass 1:00pm FloSports / NESN
There needs to be better vetting before allowing teams to just move up to FBS status. This is horrible.
Louisiana at Ohio 2:00pm ESPN+
This is a very tiny step up from the 1pm game. Ohio has been a mess so take the Ragin Cajuns on the road +3.
CCSU at Eastern Michigan 3:00pm ESPN3
There is no watchin this one up, either, so find other things to amuse you. Like gambling or day drinking.
Troy at Akron 3:00pm ESPN+
Finally we get that magical intersection of stupid, useless, and entertaining and it’s a goddamn ESPN+ game. For shame. SHAAAAAAME!!!!
Louisville at Florida State 3:30pm ESPN
Did FSU’s big comeback last week wake the ghosts and get Willie Taggert on track in Tallahassee? Probably not. What little I’ve watched of these two has me thinking Louisville is a straight up better team than FSU so my advice would be to take the Cardinals +6.5 but that’s right there on the line. Don’t think twice.
South Alabama at UAB 3:30pm NFLN
The Iron Bowl, Jr.! UAB -11 seems like pretty good value but you CAN THROW OUT THE RECORDS WHEN THESE TWO PLAY! A fun game to play if you watch this one is to see what fanbase is best represented in the crowd: UAB, USA, Bama or Auburn. Roll damn Tide.
Temple at Buffalo 3:30pm ESPNU
This seems like a conference rivalry but it isn’t. That’s all.
15 UCF at Pitt 3:30pm ABC/ESPN2 (RM)
I saw UCF mentioned as a legitimate top 5 team this week so I’m expecting them to lose. If Pitt wears their sweet yellow helmets I especially expect UCF to lose. So load up on UCF -11 because I am a fucking idiot. Book it.
22 Washington at BYU 3:30pm ABC/ESPN2 (RM)
Poor, sweet UDub. What might have been? Probably nothing but what will be is definitely nothing. BYU is sure to follow up their big upset of USC with a belly flop.
Wyoming at Tulsa 3:30pm CBSSN
O/u has moved up to 46.5 but that still seems low to me. Very appropriate CBS SN fare here. This is just good watchin’.
Miami (Ohio) at 6 Ohio State 3:30pm BTN
I don’t want to be a true believer in Chase Young or Justin Fields. I need to stick to my traditional hate Ohio State stance because any time I’ve flirted with liking a player on their team it has ended in heart break.
SMU at 25 TCU 3:30pm FS1
SMU has looked better than a dead fish so far this year. I’m kind of intrigued in this game as entertainment. I don’t want to pin expectations on it but I might hang around for a quarter or so.
Bowling Green at Kent State 3:30pm ESPN3
Here comes the MAC to ruin my good mood.
Appalachian State at North Carolina 3:30pm RSN
And here’s Mack to ruin my good mood even more.
8 Auburn at 17 Texas A&M 3:30pm CBS
Just the words Auburn and Texas A&M next to each other promises a level of psychosis that will be tough to live up to. I hope you’ve got a defibrillator nearby if you take it upon yourself to place bets on this game.
Kentucky at Mississippi State 4:00pm SECN
I think this is the entertaining side of S!E!C!
South Carolina at Missouri 4:00pm SECN Alt.
And this is dark, depressing, unwatchable side of S!E!C!
Central Michigan at Miami (FL) 4:00pm ACCN
Once upon a time there was a small, slow, relatively unathletic wide receiver from Miami who went to Central Michigan and became a huge star, one of the best in the NFL, a Madden cover boy, probably a serial rapist who is now unemployable even though he’s still one of the best football players on the planet. Where am I going with this? Oh, yeah, don’t move to Pittsburgh.
West Virginia at Kansas 4:30pm ESPN+
What if Kansas wins again? Does Les Miles sign a fully guaranteed 25-year extension and then immediately retire?
New Mexico State at New Mexico 4:30pm ATTSN
That’s some rivalry game you’ve got there. Would be a shame if it happened at the end of the season instead of the middle of September. What the fuck is this game doing on September 20th? What are these two teams planning that’s so important at the end of November?
William & Mary at East Carolina 6:00pm ESPN3
Has William & Mary always used “Tribe” for their team monikers? I definitely should have noticed that before now. That’s really kind of gross and weird. Anyway, I don’t see any betting info for this game but if you’re looking for a FCS -over-FBS upset for this week, this is the one for you.
Hampton at Liberty 6:00pm ESPN+
Liberty’s football team only went to FBS because Jerry Falwell, Jr. made a promise to a young man in a locker room and the younger Falwell is a man of his word when it comes to young men in locker rooms. Allegedly.
Wagner at Florida Atlantic 6:00pm ESPN+
Wagner “Seahawks” is a missed opportunity so obvious I don’t think it needs to be spelled out. Prove me wrong.
Ball State at NC State 7:00pm ESPNU
I always think of Marvin Gaye when I see Ball State. And for the last couple of years every time I think of Marvin Gaye I think about rumors that he was a serial killer. I don’t believe every rumor I hear about rich and/or famous people but I do believe most of them. NC State -19.5 is a pretty solid bet if I get to use your money for it.
16 Oregon at Stanford 7:00pm ESPN
I don’t want to sell myself as some kind of Pac-12 expert but I absolutely expect Stanford to win this game by 30 because it is exactly the kind of thing that happens in Pac-12 football.
Baylor at Rice 7:00pm CBSSN
Baylor out here sullying the good name of CBS Sports. It’s like finding out Matt Groening was a passenger on the Lolita Express.
Old Dominion at 21 Virginia 7:00pm ESPN2
I know it’s ODU but Virginia winning by 27 seems like a dodgy concept against literally any team in the country. UVA has a decent shot at going 12-0 and losing the ACCCG by 100.
Southern Illinois at Arkansas State 7:00pm ESPN3
If you asked me once a week every week for the next 52 weeks if Southern Illinois is a D-1A school or not I would be wrong more often than not. It turns out they aren’t in the MAC at all.
Georgia State at Texas State 7:00pm ESPN+
Get rid of FCS and make a real college football playoffs, you cowards! Isn’t a game like this between two FBS level programs mockery enough? How much more degradation can the product withstand before you have to give up the ruse and pay the players?
Charlotte at 1 Clemson 7:30pm ACCN
Charlotte’s odds of winning the Coastal are as good as anybody’s.
UTSA at North Texas 7:30pm Facebook
utsa-unt utsa-unt utsa-unt. There! Now you’re beatboxing!
San Jose State at Arkansas 7:30pm SECN
Bad west coast team going east to play a bad SEC team in the evening. Hmm. Not sure the rules here.
Oklahoma State at 12 Texas 7:30pm ABC
Chuba Hubbard is gonna get his Heisman moment tonight. I can feel it.
Nevada at UTEP 8:00pm ESPN3
The dark heart of football degeneracy is still beating. MWC and CUSA linking back up for a game only the most stupid among us can love. And I am as stupid as they come.
Nebraska at Illinois 8:00pm BTN
I told you ranking Nebraska was a mistake. I don’t think I needed to but it’s still worth noting that I did.
7 Notre Dame at 3 Georgia 8:00pm CBS
This is only the third all time meeting between Notre Dame and UGA. The line for this one is up to 14.5 but both previous meetings were decided by one score or less. That’s not necessarily relevant to this matchup but Georgia -14.5 still seems crazy to me even though I hope they win by 58.
Colorado at 24 Arizona State 10:00pm Pac-12N
The first rule of Pac-12 after dark is betting on a Pac-12 after dark game is a terrible idea. That’s probably the only rule.
Sacramento State at Fresno State 10:00pm Facebook
A game that belongs on facebook. Maybe only on facebook. Why waste money on upkeep for stands and press boxes?
Toledo at Colorado State 10:15pm ESPN2
I will for sure be torn away from the TV but this late run of weird matchups in style and uniforms is exactly what I love about college football and it will just keep getting better the deeper we get into the night.
Utah State at San Diego State 10:30pm CBSSN
This is my entire brand explicated. A potential first round QB playing against San Diego State until 2am east coast time on CBS Sports? Be still my heart.
UCLA at 19 Washington State 10:30pm ESPN
And the marquee late game is Mike Leach and Chip Kelly in a seemingly very lopsided matchup. Run it up, you stupid boomer pirate.
Central Arkansas at Hawaii 11:59pm Spectrum / Facebook
A great night of degenerate football only truly ends with a Hawaii home game. On facebook? Sure. Facebook should make one of those stupid little handheld black & white TVs that only receives facebook sports broadcasts. I would probably buy one just to watch Hawaii on the smallest screen possible.
