Some things I love about DJ’s sound design and animations in Help Wanted 2:
Every time he makes a bigger movement that requires shifting of its weight you can HEAR IT- It creaks and you can hear hydraulics inside of him WHICH BTW IS SO COOL IN SO MANY WAYS BC (tangent): it makes sense as to why he needs hydraulics being so huge and heavy, but also because the way real spiders extend their legs is like a natural form of hydraulics!! They pump their hemolymph(basically bug blood) into their legs which then allow those legs to be filled with more pressure that causes them to extend! This is why a dead or near-death spider’s legs go into the curled position (the death curl) :(
The sTOMPS I always loved the stomps even in base sb but there is just something so cool about hearing them around you as he is so close!!! It all just adds to the feeling of his weight and size 😫
HIS GROWLING?? AND MORE ANIMAL-LIKE SOUNDS??? In the past we would hear a little bit of it when he was sleeping in SB, but now we hear more examples of it and just like- closer and more noticeably 😳 it’s almost like you can hear it breathing at times and it is so cool and uncanny in the best ways :D
Ok the SNAP?!? The way he snaps his fingers and the sound reverberates all around you?!? And the way the light ring of the outside of his tunnel turns on at the same time??? I don’t really think that DJ is actually producing the snap sound from the snap alone, as with the synthetic materials its gloves are made of probably can’t produce that crisp of a sound, BUT THAT JUST MEANS THAT HE MAKES THE SOUND HIMSELF WITH ITS SPEAKERS OR SOMETHING AND SO HE’S DOING IT 100% FOR STYLE POINTS AND I LOVE THAT FOR HIM
The sound of its teeth clanking together to the beat of the music, that’s just a neat feature I like very much
Ok movements now, THE WAY HE SWAYS HIS HIPS(?) TO THE MUSIC!?! especially when it is doing that little happy dance of his or pointing at the player when it’s their turn to play. I LOVE THAT LITTLE DANCE IT’S SO CUTE
Ok the way he leans in reaaal close before settling back? He’s probably just doing it as it shifts its balance to lean back, but like, I wanna believe he’s also sorta doing it on purpose a little 🤭
Speaking of which, the movements for him going from leaning towards you to shifting his weight back and getting into that badass cross-armed pose?!!? Love it 😭 I love it sm- once again, the recoil and the followthrough of his movements just emphasize its size and weight so well I am just obsessed
OH AND HIS LITTLE FINGER TAPS WITH HIS MIDDLE RIGHT ARM THAT’S ON THE FLOOR?!? It’s a smaller detail but I am so glad they included it because it’s just so neat!?! I don’t know how to explain why I like it but it is so neat and adds to his vibe so well
OK I JUST NOTICED THIS BUT WHEN IT IS DOING THAT LITTLE DANCE AND POINTING AT YOU WHEN YOU GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT: he like, Bops his head a little and with each head bop his headphones bounce a little as well!! Idk why that is just such a neat little detail to me!
Ok this one I probably should have mentioned sooner since it’s one of the first things it does but the way it climbs out of the tunnel and grabs the sides like that with his middle set of arms? 😫😫✨ Idk what to tell y’all but that is the most attractive shit I’ve seen!!! Y’all need to step up your game if you wanna be like him XD /j
His head tilts. Need I say more? They’re adorable.
THE JUMPSCARE??!?? Dude I know it’s probably meant to look like he’s coming in to bite/eat you or something??? But to me and my DJ-Simp corrupted brain it just looks like we’re boutta make out 😁😁😁
OK THAT’S ALL I GOT FOR RIGHT NOW, but I might possibly add to this later???? If I notice anything else that stands out to me.
Time to see if tumblr supports a post with 28 images.. (aka, long post warning)
Hi guys! been a little while since I shared Hellopaint doodles!!

extra:
Uh just casual simping, nothing to see here, go on, keep scrolling:
Me as a mini music man that wakey drew me as a little while back
DJ getting the best kind of compliment, A compliment from a little old lady:
*collapses on the floor* I DID IT THAT'S ALL OF THEM OMG
The thing that really makes me giggle about Sun's change of character is that fans deeply headcanon him eating glitter glue but he's the one to get pissed if you eat the art supplies
I feel like sun and glamrock freddy were both affected by the virus in similar ways, but have ended up very different in hw2 as a result of how they've been treated by Fazbear Entertainment.
BECAUSE BOTH SEEM MUCH MORE AWARE AND DETERRED FROM VIOLENCE THANTHE OTHERS, Freddy and Sun seem generally just less affected!! AND SEEING THE DIFFERENCE IN SUN AND FREDDY DURING HW2 SAYS A LOT.
In Freddy's minigame, he remains kind to the player. He's what we know him to usually act as!! And he is the star of the pizzaplex, staff and visitors would absolutely treat him well and he'd remain highly maintained.
But Sun clearly hints at not liking the staff, as maintenance on him and moon most likely isn't a common occurrence.
Sun has been stuck all alone and with the events of security breach/ruin, I think he's just grown so moody because of all of those factors. He's been neglected and is growing resentful!! And with holding back moon, Sun has to hold that burden of causing potential pain.
While Freddy is still shown as happy and gentle since there's not much for him to hold resentment towards!!
So I've seen a lot of ya'll discussing Sun's mean and sassy behaviour in the arts & crafts minigame, so i want to point something out: Sun and Moon were not originally in the daycare.
According to Tales from the Pizzaplex, the daycare attendant was originally a theater bot! They were eventually repurposed for the daycare, though we have little to no information about when or why this happened.
Suns behavior makes a lot more sense with this is mind. They were supposed to be a performer, not a caretaker! It's no surprise that they'd act this way when they weren't made for childcare in the first place! Sure they could've been reprogrammed, but we all know that fazbear entertainment employees absolutely suck at their jobs and likely didn't do it properly.
In conclusion: no matter how good they may have gotten at childcare, Sun is still a nitpicky, passive-aggressive, perfectionist performer at heart.
