#<- what I'm calling Gregory and Cassidy being friends

[bisheepart]

Friendship AU?

I dunno what to call this AU but basically the "Evan/Cassidy/Gregory/Cassie are all friends AU." Anyway, headcanons be upon ye.

Every time Michael pranks Evan, Gregory and Cassidy prank him back but worse.

Like the time Michael woke up with pink hair.

But he can't prove it was them. Especially since neither Cassidy nor Gregory tell Evan when they prank Michael.

This is because Evan is a terrible liar.

Elizabeth joins in too sometimes, since she and Evan are 'partners in crime."

Evan disagrees about that part until Lizzie reminds him of the times he's distracted their dad so she could steal extra cookies for them.

Or when he's helped her beg (blackmail) Michael to play with them.

Cassie and Evan are both pretty sensitive, but while Evan cries as soon as something bad happens, Cassie's builds up until she can't hold it in anymore.

Evan and Gregory let Elizabeth and Cassie do their hair/makeup/nails/etc. Evan does it because he's a good sport, Gregory does it because they both agree to let him ramble about his robotics interests.

Not just for this au, but look at Gregory and tell me he wouldn't love robot fighting competitions like BattleBots.

Both Gregory and Cassidy have beaten people up for bullying Evan and Cassie.

They have movie nights at Cassie's house.

They have a rotation of who gets to pick the movie that week.

When they're teens, Cassie wants to get her ears pierced but she's pretty nervous about it, so the gang (plus Lizzie) go with her in support.

Gregory and Lizzie get their ears pierced in extra support.

One year for Evan's birthday, the gang pooled their money together to get him a giant build a bear frog.

It's bigger than him.

He sleeps on top of it sometimes.

Gregory and Cassidy both agreed that if Michael destroys the frog like he did Evan's Foxy plush, they're going to bury him in a shallow grave (they tell Evan they're joking but they aren't.)

While Gregory holds the high score in most arcade games, there are some he can't win, like claw machines.

Evan's great at claw machines, so he helps his friends win which ever plush they're having trouble getting.

Gregory would be the kid who climbs into the claw machine to get the prize.

Evan had to get William and Henry to unlock the claw machine since Gregory did that once and got stuck. (Cassidy was meanwhile, laughing at Gregory so hard until they couldn't breath)

Cassie is amazing at Roxy Raceway, and other racing games.

Seriously, none of them can beat her at Mario Kart.

Cassidy is the Skee-Ball champ, not even Gregory can take that away.

Evan doesn't really care about high scores; he just likes having fun.

On occasion, they'll pool their tickets together to get a better prize they can share.

Cassidy and Gregory aren't allowed to play Mario Party alone. They almost killed each other a few times.

Movie!Cassidy is an Afton - an entirely speculative theory

(CW FOR DISCUSSION OF CANON TYPICAL HARM AGAINST CHILDREN)

A starting note

I do believe our little boy in Golden Freddy is named Cassidy, because Cassidy in the game universe is not confirmed female. Again I remind you all that Scott does not confirm fuck about these games. Fans have a tendency to claim their headcanons or whatever new fanon theories get popular have been confirmed to be canon. This is basically never true. Look at the semi-recent "Gregory is Scott's favorite" ordeal for an idea of how this information is shared in good faith and gets twisted nonetheless. Look at the comments under a fnaf au gacha life video for an idea of how people just straight up lie about that.

Cassidy in the games refers to himself as "he" and "him", we never see his physical appearance enough to make any judgment calls on his gender- any idea of his appearance is totally speculative, just like this theory- and most importantly, Cassidy is not exclusively a girls' name- it's actually a unisex name that started as a masculine one! It derives from the Irish surname Caiside, then became a masculine forename, then as it became anglicized as Cassidy it became unisex. In both modern day and the 80s, it is and was applicable as a boys' name.

Now, with that in mind, on to actual discussion of the Afton theory, and why I think movie Cassidy is one.

They look strikingly similar

Compare, for a moment, the appearances of Vanessa, William, and Cassidy. I'm using pictures of their actors because the pictures of them I could find online SUCKED.

William: Light skin, straight(?) brown hair, blue eyes. Vanessa: Light skin, straight blonde hair (though it's wavy in this picture, it's definitely straight for Vanessa), blue/maybe green eyes. Cassidy: Light skin, straight blonde hair, blue eyes.

The movie does suggest that Vanessa colors her hair blonde from brown (see: the brown roots), however, when she shows the photo of her childhood self and her father off to Mike, young Vanessa clearly has blonde hair as well.

And notably, her roots are just as blonde, suggesting that blonde was her natural hair color, but that it darkened as she got older, only for her to begin bleaching it back to its original color.

Now, blonde hair and blue/green eyes are both quite rare, but not rare enough that it's a dead ringer for a genetic connection. Hell, the Chica girl has blonde hair and blue eyes. However, Susie in the games has blonde hair and blue eyes, and Cassidy in the games very clearly has brown, and likely dark hair as well.

This makes the change to blonde with blue eyes very noticeable, and very noteworthy. And it’s a set of traits that he shares with Vanessa, as well as the notable blue eyes with William, as well as appearing to have a similar face shape.

Cassidy is inexplicably special

Cassidy is the first person who shares the image of Afton as Spring Bonnie with Mike when asked about who took Garrett. He seems more aware than anyone else of William, Garrett, William’s crimes, and what they’re doing.

When Mike asks who took Garrett, Cassidy responds by drawing a rabbit in the dirt- Spring Bonnie. (I will come back to this momentarily.) While the other kids believe Spring Bonnie is their friend, Cassidy seems to know the truth. He knows Garrett is dead, and offers Mike the chance to essentially see his ghost in exchange for Abby.

Furthermore, Cassidy doesn’t ever attack Abby, he doesn’t respond when William tells the children to wake up and go after her, and most interestingly-

Look at this image.

When Abby shows the missing kids what happened to them (in a scene I actually loved, btw, and I will take absolutely no criticism), you can see Jeremy in blue, Gabriel in the top hat, Fritz with the hook hand, Susie with long blonde hair, and… what I believe might actually be Garrett with dark hair and a red shirt. Because one thing is clear- that is not Cassidy.

Cassidy is not being controlled. He is fully aware, and he is angry. Hell, if you listen to his tone when he says “we want Abby,” it’s angry. Forceful. “We. Want. Abby.”

Again, Cassidy knows what is happening. He is angry and vengeful, and he’s the only one. So… why?

Well, honestly, this was my big qualm with the movie. Why was Cassidy special? In my eyes, there are four answers to this. He has a direct connection to William, a direct connection to Fazbear, a direct connection to every missing child that is unique to him, or he was the first or last of the missing kids. These would all set him apart. But we have no reason to believe he has a connection to FE, he was the fourth of the five missing kids as seen in the opening, and it seemed like the five of them were a group of friends. So what makes him special? He obviously knows or has something that sets him apart.

The imagery

Let me rewind now to when Mike first gets his answer about who took Garrett. He finds Cassidy in the woods and asks him for help remembering Garrett’s kidnapper. Cassidy responds by showing Mike a drawing of Spring Bonnie. Again, he knows that Spring Bonnie is evil, but more importantly here, he knows that Spring Bonnie took Garrett. Now, there are three ways he could know. One, process of elimination- the rabbit took him, so it took Garrett too. Two, assuming a relation to Afton, he saw or knew when this happened. Three, it was a matter of association.

Well, I actually doubt it was either of the first two. (You will see why this is not self contradictory in a second.) One, if it was because Spring Bonnie took Cassidy, well, Mike asked about Garrett, not Cassidy. For someone as obviously aware as Cassidy is, this is an obvious logical gap I doubt he’d make.

Two, Vanessa- Afton’s known daughter- didn’t know what happened to Garrett. When Mike asked- "asked"- if she knew, she said "not about Garrett." And while we don't have a clear timeline here (thanks Vanessa for your very ambiguous "in the 80s, kids went missing", we. we know), this was likely Afton's first kill. Meaning Cassidy was even younger then than he was when he died.

So, what do I mean by "it was a matter of association"? And how is this not self contradictory?

Well, assuming Cassidy didn't just. know Afton did it, what might have happened instead actually works even better with the idea that he knew Afton.

Compare the imagery here to that of the photo Vanessa shows Mike.

Spring Bonnie and the toy plane. If he saw Spring Bonnie and Vanessa with Garrett’s toy, seeing Garrett with that toy, he could assume that Spring Bonnie got it from him. Therefore, Garrett was taken by Spring Bonnie- Vanessa and Cassidy’s dad in the costume.

Their relationship

This one I’ll keep short. We only see Cassidy and William interact once. And it’s a very bizarre scene.

William is struggling, clinging to life, and Cassidy is standing, watching. Someone else said he was crying here, but I didn’t see it. Maybe, maybe not. I’m leaving that there. Either way, William reaches out to Cassidy, seemingly for help, and Cassidy shuts the door on him.

Watching the movie back and realizing Cassidy was never under William’s influence, this scene is… confusing, to say the least. Why would William reach for the help of the one child who was never under his thumb? What is he trying to appeal to? And why does Cassidy get the moment of being the one to shut the door on him?

Well, it’s obvious to see through Vanessa and the four missing children under his control that he is very clearly abusive to his children. Which isn’t a surprise to most, but anyway. Through the few minutes he and Vanessa are together, he berates her, strangles her, stabs her in the stomach and leaves her for dead, and Mike remarks that William “really messed [her] up”. He similarly berates and insults the missing kids, calling them pathetic and small. At the same time, however, he relies on his children to back him up. Vanessa is supposed to keep Mike from knowing anything and kill him if he gets too close. The animatronics are supposed to kill children and adults alike on his command. He leans on them. They are supposed to back him up.

And this would extend even to the one who he never controlled entirely if Cassidy was his son. His daughter let him down. His victims turned on him. But he still has one child left who hasn’t let him down. One who wasn’t there for him, but should be. Because that is the job of William’s children.

He reaches for Cassidy, the boy shuts the door on his murderer. The man who abused, betrayed, and slaughtered him all while he was meant to be his dad. William’s son is not going to clean up his messes now. He’s going to make him pay for them.

(ENDING DISCLAIMER THAT THIS IS ALL SPECULATION! I know there are many other explanations. This is just the one I like and I wanted to share it!)

'Mr. Malcolm's List': Zawe Ashton on Playing the Regency Bridget Jones and Working With Theo James

She also discusses how she was cast in the film and incorporating her own cultural lineage into a Regency-era romance.

From director Emma Holly Jones and writer Suzanne Allain (based on her book of the same name), Mr. Malcolm's List is a rom-com with so many familiar genre trappings — only it happens to be set in 1800s England, where the titular Mr. Jeremiah Malcolm (Ṣọpẹ Dìrísù) is a much sought-after single gentleman who finds himself in want of a wife. The only thorny aspect is that he's made a list of standards that any potential bride is required to meet, and any he finds wanting in some manner is quickly and summarily discarded. When Julia Thistlewaite (Zawe Ashton) becomes the latest woman rejected by Mr. Malcolm — and made a laughingstock in society as a result — she reaches out to her long-time friend Selina Dalton (Freida Pinto) to assist her in hatching a plot of revenge. The plan? Selina will present herself as the ideal potential wife, emblematic of every qualification of Mr. Malcolm's list, only to turn around and reject him publicly so that he can experience the same mortification. However, as Julia and her cousin Lord Cassidy (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) prepare Selina to become Mr. Malcolm's perfect match, Selina finds herself falling for the man she's supposed to ruin. The film also stars Theo James, Ashley Park, Divian Ladwa, Naoko Mori, Sophie Vavasseur, and Sianad Gregory.

Ahead of the film's July 1 premiere, Collider had the opportunity to speak with Ashton about starring in the Regency-era romance feature — she takes over the role originally played by Gemma Chan in the 2019 short film, also directed by Jones — and how she immediately recognized the complexities in Julia's character. Over the course of the interview, which you can read below, Ashton discusses why Julia feels so relatable in her journey, why it was easier to play the "antihero love story," what people might be surprised to learn about James as a scene partner, finding ways to link the story to her own cultural lineage, and more.

Collider: First of all, I just have to say I lost track of the number of times you got me to crack up with just even a single sound of indignation.

ZAWE ASHTON: Thank you very much. I worked hard on those noises.

I know that you joined the movie after they had already made the short film, but I'm curious as to how the role of Julia fell into your lap. What was the casting process like?

ASHTON: Well, I still actually don't 100% know. Freida Pinto and I had worked together on a show called Guerilla in the UK years ago, and she's an executive producer on this film as well as being a complete dreamboat actress. I think she maybe mentioned me because she had that productorial voice, and once the call came in, I had about 24 hours to read the script and meet with Emma and make a decision. There were just so many green flags about the whole project that it kind of was a no-brainer, to be honest.

Julia is a character who could very easily come across as one-dimensional, but she's very complex and layered. How did you want to showcase those deeper sides of her? Because I think it makes her motivations understandable and even relatable at times.

ASHTON: I'm so glad you said that, because that was my intention from the beginning. I read the script and I thought, "First of all, there's intersections of genres that I love here, rom-com and Regency." That was a really releasing way in, because I could almost immediately start to find contemporary relatable elements to her. I think I said to Emma in our meeting that she feels like the Regency Bridget Jones. She's four seasons in without a match, and society and their expectations are starting to close in on her. The pressure from her mother is starting to mount, and making a match that isn't for love is completely outside of her deepest desire. So I thought, "Wow, this feels so relatable." Lots of people can really understand when that pressure starts to build, and yet you want to stay true to your desires and objectives.

So I read her instantly as quite complex, and then she walks this crazy line partway through the film where it just starts to turn into a revenge story, and she makes some bad decisions. I had to root those again in the circumstances of what was going on for her at the time. She felt very pressurized, and she felt like she wasn't where she wanted to be, and that can make us all do crazy things. But then I love this humbling that she has and then this redemption where she gets to find the love of her life by actually exposing her flaws, which is just a really refreshing take on a character like this.

I'm glad that you brought up her romance, because I loved the dynamic between Julia and Captain Ossory. T your point, he is somebody who sees her kind of at her worst and then chooses her not in spite of, but because of what she reveals. How did you and Theo work together to capture that dynamic? Because the two of you have that great repartee that gives way to deeper feelings.

ASHTON: Thank you. Well, we have the easier job playing the antihero love story, the enemies becoming lovers story, rather than carrying sort of the emotionality that Freida and Ṣọpẹ do so beautifully. Theo is someone whose work I was aware of way, way, way before we collaborated on this, but also we have lots of people in common, so there was a familiarity there off the bat. He's also such a kook. He's comedy central. He does such brooding, gorgeous work on screen in huge franchises, and actually maybe what he hasn't shown yet is how quirky he is as a human being. We just clicked instantly, and I feel one of the main challenges was actually keeping a straight face working with him as a scene partner. I think that lends itself to the tonality of the film. There is a fizzy energy underneath the slightly more repressed nature of the genre, and that was probably just coming through us trying not to laugh at each other, to be honest.

One of the things that really struck me about this movie is that the friendship between Julia and Selina feels as important and as emotional as the romance between Mr. Malcolm and Selina, or even the romance between Julia and Captain Ossory. Was there anything that you and Freida worked on behind the scenes to strengthen the dynamic that we see in front of the camera?

ASHTON: Half of the job was completely having a meeting of minds on how important the female love story was in the movie. We both really wanted that fresh take to come through as palpably as possible, and we weren't afraid of showing the flaws in the relationship either. We didn't want to be cute about it. We wanted it to be as fully dimensional as any female friendship is, any sisterhood is. There are always ups and downs. There are always misunderstandings. There are fallouts and great times as well as sad times. That was the main thing for us, to show a real warts-and-all female friendship despite this being a light Regency romance.

We worked really hard together off-camera to connect to our most authentic cultural selves as well and really bring that out in each other. We've seen so many period dramas over the years. It's totally part of our iconography, but let's think about our own cultural lineages and all of the stories that exist within that are not far off of Jane Austen. I'm a huge Bollywood fan. You want to see some films that are about punishing people who marry out of their class? So it was almost finding Jane Austen-inspired moments that linked directly somehow to our own cultural lineages, and that was really, really, really purposeful, and again, bonding. (x)

Mr. Malcolm's List is now playing in theaters.

Memories of Delight, Sorrow, and Death; A Story of FNAF: A Glitched Mystery

When I was young, I already love the Pizzaplex. It was so colorful and amazing, just like I imagined from my happy thoughts.

The animatronics were cool and they were nice to me. The food is kinda unusual but who cares about that? I'm a kid. The games were awesome as well.

But then...something bad happened to me.

I was abandoned there by my mom and...no one seems to take care of me.

I tried to cry for help but...not even the guards came.

Until Freddy found me. He saw me crying and he said, "It will be okay, Beverly. Me and my friends will take care of you."

I was happy again. I feel like a child again. We had sleepovers, parties, and free food.

We were like...a family. A family I accidentally formed.

But...a rabbit lady was there. She wanted to kill me, but it was just my hallucination.

I met Taylor when I was in high school. Schoolmates called me a "freak" for being raised by animatronics, which hurts me.

I haven't been in that place where I was raised for the first time but I wanted to go back however.

At 19, I returned but it was surprising. Freddy, Roxanne, Chica, and Monty were already at my door haha. Not sure about Sun, Moon, or even DJ Music Man.

Then, I met Gregory when it was about to be at before midnight.

(P.S. Taylor also had a problem with Vanessa during her job lol)

We did have strange occurrences and heck, we were like siblings...not by the blood though.

Sometimes, I feel like I do not trust Gregory. But when I saw his bond with Freddy by progress, I thought that maybe we'll also get along.

We run and we survived...

I'm not sure how I'll forgive Gregory for destroying my other friends.

But I realized that Gregory does not have a home. I give him my stuff when I was a kid and he was happy to me.

The endings however...

Those made me sad...

Afton returned, Freddy being torn to pieces, freeing Vanny from being controlled...

I want to be happy again...

Well, you can...

I'll help you, Beverly.

...

Tell me, what is your wish?

Very well, Beverly..

I want to be happy again, Catrice...

Mackenna's Gold (1969)

Directed by: J. Lee Thompson Genre: Western, action

CW: None Originally written 07/04/2023

Mackenna's Gold caught my attention because of the synopsis and because it stars Omar Sharif. I've seen him in quite a few movies but never in a western. Well, I suppose there is Hidalgo but I don't really think that counts.

I really want to just talk about Omar's character all on his own, but I suppose that's really suited for later.

Mackenna's Gold stars Gregory Peck and Camilla Sparv as well. It also contained Telly Savalas and Ted Cassidy whom I recognized immediately as the man who played Ruk in Star Trek TOS episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?". More notably and more significant however, was his role as Lurch in the original Addams Family tv show. Additionally there's Julie Newmar who played Catwoman in the Adam West Batman series. So, a pretty cool cast.

This western is a treasure chaser. The story goes that there is basically this hidden location sacred to the Apache which is basically just gold. I don't think anyone ever compared it to El Dorado, but the comparison probably goes without saying. The place is thought to be a myth up until recently before the film starts.

Marshall Mackenna (Gregory Peck) ends up being the only man to know it's location by happenstance. He happens to end up in a shootout with the chief carrying the only known map, seeing the map during a conversation ensuing, and then burning the map after the chief dies.

Mackenna has a gifted memory which we learn about through Colorado who reveals that Mackenna has a history of playing poker and won by memorizing the cards.

This marks one of many times we are informed of Mackenna and Colorado's shared history. They call one another old friend and whenever the story needs to reveal a bit of Mackenna's sordid backstory, Colorado is generally the one to divulge. I like this dynamic a lot, but I don't want to get distracted in talking about it a whole lot just yet.

Colorado is searching for the gold and has been following the Apache chief carrying the map for awhile now, and when he finds Mackenna and the chief dead, he surmises that Mackenna must be after the gold as well and is now their only lead to get to it, so he kidnaps Mackenna.

Before he met up with Mackenna he also kidnapped Inga Bergerman (Camilla Sparv) who's the daughter of the judge who made Mackenna Marshall. She's also the love interest. Don't really feel much of anything for her character if I'm being honest. But if I'm being even more honest, I really don't feel much for anyone but Colorado.

I don't think it's Sparv's fault. While I'm not super familiar with her career, this did come out in the 60s, and it's pretty commonplace to underutilize a femme character.

Colorado kidnaps her, but he has no idea of her import and value, or of the fact that even though she's the ex-judge's daughter she's actually worth basically nothing anyways and incidentally this gold could really help her.

And then, all of the sudden Eli Wallach shows up! I was really excited to see him, but this marks a very strange section of the film. With him is a really diverse group of various western archetypes. You expect this to mean something and go somewhere. There is such a weird amount of attention placed on various members of this group that you expect them to be around for a while, at least some of them. There's even dialogue and shots which seem to imply that later on there will be some modicum of payoff for a few of them.

One of them is supposedly the only known survivor to have been to the gold's location but he was taken there blindfolded and then blinded and left for dead. There's a pair of Englishmen who get a very strange amount of attention, and it's possibly implied one of them is actually a woman in disguise.

Eli Wallach and Omar Sharif combine their forces only for a short time before American troops catch up to them and  break them up. The only people to escape are Inga, Mackenna, Colorado, and two Apache played by Ted Cassidy and Julie Newmar (yeah, this is a movie with brownface).

It seems like some of the others may have escaped also but the movie never storybooks their ends so it’s a really confusingly useless section of the movie. It adds nothing to the plot, and at first you don’t realize that because it seems like any of these guys might have gotten away and would end up being trouble later on, but then the movie ends and you’re like oh. Okay. In fact, you may have even forgotten that that part of the movie happens at all! It was just *so* long ago.

So, to get to our final five it feels like we took a long walk to get basically right back to where we started. Omar had more than five people in his group, but these were the only really relevant ones anyway.

Whatever. The group now keeps making their way with soldiers still on their tail and the hot desert ahead. At some point Inga is released to join the soldiers because she’s been slowing them down as she’s weaker and unused to the climate. She meets up with Sergeant Tibbs (Telly Savalas) whom she tells everything to in the hopes that he’ll help Meckenna. Well, shock and awe as he kills his own men and kidnaps her so he can catch up to Meckenna and company to also hunt down the gold.

Kinda funny.

From here, it’s a bit of a blur. I’ve neglected to talk about some other scenes of character development because, if I’m being honest, I don’t care. I don’t really have much regard for these characters despite the cast behind them. There were some enjoyable components but it all mostly had to do with Omar Sharif.

Eventually they reach the location and so more characters have to die. Greed or whatever I guess. Basically, by the time we see gold all we have left is Colorado, Mackenna, and Inga. Unsurprisingly, Mackenna and Colorado fight. Mackenna overpowers Colorado by beating him against the rock walls. Funnily, Inga tries to help by throwing Mackenna her belt to use but then he misses grabbing it and it falls right off the cliffs.

While they’re having their climactic action other Apache who’ve been trying to keep this place guarded finally catch up to them and the rumble and size of the group inadvertently causes an avalanche to occur. So, now our three leads have to escape the area and the end of the movie sees this gold paradise lost in the rubble. Pretty much what you expect from movies like this. Greedy characters get punished and the object of their greed is lost to time and becomes mythical once more.

Uh, it’s okay. The major issues for me are that the film is full of wasted time. There were all those extraneous characters I mentioned before, but it feels like a lot of time could be abridged or make the remaining characters more interesting. I liked that all of them were more or less connected. Mackenna and Colorado have history, but so too does Mackenna to Hesh-Ke (Julie Newmar) who was once his lover. I liked when the movie referenced this history or used it for some of the conflict. For instance, Hesh-Ke tries to kill Inga in an attempt to be the only viable option for Mackenna.

And of course, I really liked Colorado. It’s Colorado time, baby! First, Omar Sharif makes a delightful ruffian. He has this boyish charm and a brilliant smile. Colorado dresses nice and wears these jangly spurs that are never not making noise. I love that detail to his character because it enforces this pattern of peacocking and virtue signaling he does. Colorado really wants you to take him seriously and he’s a man with dreams! There is an adorable scene where he shows Mackenna his reason for wanting the gold and pulls out pamphlets about well dressed men in Paris. He wants to live the life!

Suddenly it’s got me thinking about his wardrobe and how he’s probably never known the comfort and power of wealth like that and that's why this is so important to him. He has this endearing and bubbly personality that just sucks ya in. He’s magnetic and you wonder how anyone can’t grow to love him, and it makes me wonder how the movie can’t give him some sort of redemption proper or reward in the end. Yeah, he lives but under threat and without any gold. I’d give Colorado the gold. Listen I know he’s an outlaw but he’s so sincere and pleasant to be around. Can’t we cut him some slack?

I also just find him more interesting than Mackenna. My interest in Mackenna really only extended as far as his connection to Colorado went. Mackenna was such a stiff board in comparison. There’s a scene in the movie where they find a river and Colorado jumps in naked and then lounges outside and Mackenna and Inga, are for some reason, too good to do the same. They jump in a little later with their clothes still fully on and Colorado says he will never understand the gringo, and like uhhh yeah man, these two are real party-poopers.

So anyway, now that I’ve talked about how much I love Colorado I will conclude by saying the movie is okay. It’s not bad, it's just dull at times and wastes a good bit of time on things that don’t ever matter. It’s probably not so bad if you’re watching for a first time, but I can’t imagine some of the scenes will be bearable in subsequent watches when you know they lead nowhere and did nothing for the plot on large.

Final verdict; 5.6/10

@stone-97 yippee thank you

I'm separating these into two: non-theory based and theory based.

Non-theory based:

Cassie is short for Cassidy. I don't think she's Golden Freddy, obviously, but there isn't a doubt in my mind that Cassidy is her full name.

Her last name is Rita, which is Latvian and means dawn.

She's from a rich family, but she doesn't like her parents much, and feels like her whole life is just painfully boring because nothing ever happens to her unless she seeks it out.

She's absolutely fearless and always up to do something stupid and insanely risky. It's what draws her to Gregory, who always has things happening to him.

She considers herself Gregory's shield, the person to call on when he needs protection, and she takes that seriously.

She bought the walkie-talkies they share, and he laughed at her a bit for them because of course they were Roxanne Wolf themed.

She covers and decorates all her stuff with stickers, charms, beads, etc. Sometimes she puts stickers over her nails instead of painting them.

She was the girl whose birthday party was just before the events of Security Breach. She invited Gregory along, which was how he got into the building.

Theory based:

Her parents keep constant watch over her. It's hard for her to get away from them unless she can bypass all of their attempts to watch her.

Quite frankly, her parents don't know what to do with her. Things were fine until recently, and they've done all they can by watching over her and sending her to therapy, but nothing they do seems to be enough. Anything more they could do never works anyway- all attempts to install trackers on her devices lead to the trackers being corrupted, and no one can figure out how or why. It happens before even Cassie knows they're there.

Cassie is upset that people don't trust her anymore, but she wonders if she's even allowed to be so upset about it when it's her fault. Even if she's not "allowed," it hurts knowing that people used to trust and love her, and now no one even wants her to be alone out of fear she'll hurt someone.

She's afraid of what Gregory will think of her if he finds out what she's done. Knowing how much Gregory investigates, she's sure he'll find out eventually, but she wants to delay that as long as possible to stay his friend.

This also benefits Glitchtrap, who needs Cassie to stay close to him so they can get him where they want him.
