More Sona discussion? Why, yes, that’s exactly what’s happening :) I want to talk more about it—though I have no idea how long this’ll actually be.
Styx was made and fully completed, at best, about a year after Glamrock Freddy and the others were—nearly two. Though, it wasn’t made for performing/shows like Glam. Freddy and the rest.
Rather, he was for something completely different in the Pizzaplex. He doesn’t really mind—Anubis would never exactly want to perform or anything, anyways.
It never really went to the Daycare all that much, but one day, something weird happened when he accidentally fell through the ballpit. This is stuff mentioned briefly in the other post, and stuff that @squidthechaotickid and I talked about when the art was being made.
After falling through the ballpit in the Daycare, Styx ends up finding itself at Fredbear’s Family Diner—sometime before everything went horribly—exactly a few years before the Bite eventually occurs.
Now, this is where I basically end up having two AU’s for this situation:
One: After ending up at the Diner, Styx discovers that it is trapped—unable to return to the Pizzaplex, no matter how hard he tries to go back through the ballpit.
Stuck there, the rabbit meets the first animatronics—Spring Bonnie and Fredbear, and bonds with them, becoming friends—especially with the other rabbit.
Although missing everyone back at the Pizzaplex, he just assumes that it’ll turn out fine—and everything was—until a certain day in the past finally arrived.
Two: Rather than actually being stuck at Fredbear’s Family Diner in the past, it discovers that it can freely go back and forth between that place and the Pizzaplex—so it frequently visits.
In #2, he usually tries to stay hidden from others—such as Henry and William, because it doesn’t really want to go try and explain to the two how he happens to be there. Can’t really hide in #1, though.
Now... here comes the situation with the bite. No matter the version of the AU, Anubis would still be there to witness it as it happened. Whether it just arrived through the ballpit or not.
He knows who Fredbear and Spring Bonnie are—back at the Pizzaplex, he’d seen little things here and there about the two. However, there was still a lot that he didn’t happen to know.
It knew about the situation with the kids way back then—but never happened to discover the whole ‘William wore Spring Bonnie’ part of the situation.
It never knew about the bite—so, when actually seeing that happen, it’s not like Styx has a reaction of: “Oh... this must be that horrible event in the past that someone mentioned/that I read about/etc.”
No. It never knew—so seeing that whole bite is just a complete shock—and a horrifying sight to end up seeing.
Now, back to more general things rather than the ballpit deal—back at the Pizzaplex, it never really happens to hang around the others all that much—it’s just a rather nervous rabbit.
It still likes the other animatronics, but just doesn’t know how to really hang out/talk to them/etc. Before managing to befriend Spring Bonnie+Fredbear, you’d probably see it the most with Glam. Fred.
And while, on occasion, it does feel like watching the group’s shows, it hates the crowds and all of the noise, so... just imagine him from a really good distance.
That was already a lot that I ended up mentioning—I think that’s it for now. I just said whatever was on my mind.
If anyone does have any questions though, feel free to send anything—I love answering stuff.

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.
sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.
you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.
it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.
but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.
they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.
they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.
barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.
and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.
but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.
they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!
this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

Quick reminder since apparently it bears reminding in both directions: if bigoted people, closed-minded people overall, or your own internalized insecurities misinterpret a queer person’s message in a way that hurts/endangers you, yeah, it sucks, but it’s not the fault of the queer person in question, nor should it be a reason for them to silence themselves. They’re probably as hurt/pissed as you are that someone misinterpreted and misused their message to do harm.
Of course sadly there’ll still be queer people that actually DO mean harm and dismissal to other queer people – I ain’t speaking for those and it’s not the best way to ensure their and others’ wellbeing imo. I’m just saying – not all people will be like that. That’s what I want to believe. So hopefully let’s not put everyone in the same bag, keep supporting each other, WHILE allowing each other to advocate for our own visibility, without having to self-erase or self-censor to accomodate to what haters might say.
It’ll be tougher this way, maybe, because humans seem to like to draw extreme conclusions very quick, but I don’t believe there’s any better way for us all to be alright and stay alright on the long run.

I want to talk a little bit about Hawai‘i, because I have been thinking a lot about my people, and our lives.
The year 2023 marks 130 years since the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
On January 17th 1893, American businessman used their connections and military influence to dethrone Queen Liliuokalani by threat of force.
This annexation still impacts my people 130 years later. It still hurts us, it still haunts us,
For the last 130 years my people have suffered under America’s cruelty and indifference.
Unsustainable Tourism haunts us, causing a cost of living crisis, which turns into a rise in poverty, which turns into a rise in individuals experiencing homelessness. This cost crisis disproportionately effects my people, Kānaka Maoli. We cannot even afford to live on our on land. Our ancestral home.
And in turn, tourism then provides the most jobs. This industry pushes us off our land and into poverty, and then it turns around and sells us back our culture as a walking joke.
Our very identity is turned into entertainment. Our very culture is turned into entertainment.
And many of my people have no choice but to sell their culture so they can eat, so they can survive.
We have been put in a never ending cycle of misery and cultural destruction.
In addition, Military Involvement on our islands causes repeated incidents of ecological violence, and land disputes. The military take claim to land that belongs to my people, and they spill chemicals over and over, and poison the water we drink.
My people are suffering. Our culture is suffering.
And everyday more tourists come. Everyday more land is taken to build hotels. Everyday more culture is stripped and bastardized. Everyday more land is taken for military use.
I’m so tired of living this way. I’m so tired of waking up and watching the slow and agonizing death of my people.
I want us to live. I want us to thrive.
I want my people to survive.
I want to survive.
So please read up on the current issues that face Kānaka Maoli. Please educate yourself on my people’s history and current affairs.
Speak up and speak out. Talk about unsustainable tourism, and speak up about how harmful a “vacation” to Hawai‘i can be. Talk about the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and it’s injustice.
Hawai‘i is Hawaiians. Hawai‘i is our history. Hawai‘i is our home. Hawai‘i is the very blood that runs through our veins.
So please do not forget us, and please speak up with us.
Support Hawaiian Sovereignty. Restore Hawai‘i to Hawaiians.
