FNAF SPOILERS! SCROLL! TALKING ABOUT THE SPRINGLOCK SCENE!

i’ve seen so many people discussing the springlock scene in both negative and positive ways and i think it brings up really cool points about how matthew played that scene and balanced fan expectations with his own characterisation.

i think the discussions around this movie have rlly exposed the disconnect between fanon and canon in fnaf, especially talking abt the core games in isolation, bc frankly in the game universe (ignoring the books) we get Very Little characterisation for William other than the obvious, but Matthew managed to add so much in the way he talks and his body language.

in the reveal scene, we see afton at arguably his peak. in his first scene, he comes off as somewhat demeaning and judgemental until he recognises mike’s name, at which point he seems to have this nervous energy, rushing to cover it up but stumbling slightly, his reaction to the tables being turned even slightly is massive.

this is a man who committed multiple mrdrs in essentially broad daylight, hid the bodies in the most obvious place, and still got away with it, and then kept the crime scene as a trophy of his actions, and an ongoing prison sentence for his victims. he has been in complete control for decades, and is confident that he can deal with any kind of threat quickly. his confidence in his reveal is palpable

it changes when vanessa shoots him. the whole parallel with vanessa and the animatronics is hugely interesting too- how william refers to the animatronics almost endearingly as “kids” when he wants them to obey, how both vanny and the animatronics have an unearned loyalty to him, almost a pseudo-adoption through what he did to them, taking them from their parents and keeping them under his thumb, forever stuck as naive, forgiving, obedient children. vanessa breaking from that control shakes him, but the mask slips back into place almost immediately.

then, he’s outsmarted by the brother of one of his victims, and the child he planned to end next. his pseudo-children turn on him and he can no longer manipulate his appearance or shed his skin to escape. he explodes on them, and his language is incredibly telling that he is being dishonest.

he calls them small, trying to belittle them into submission, even though they are ten feet tall metal animatronics powered by rage. he is grasping at straws to regain control, and failing miserably.

finally, the springlocks go off. the locks in the movie look more like a ribcage, so the first two likely puncture his lungs. they’re slow, and painful, but he doesn’t scream or beg or sob. he grunts and groans, gritting his teeth and only letting out sounds of pain that sound almost involuntary. there is no way in hell he would visibly let himself show weakness or pain in front of these creatures that he believes he has control over. he isn’t brought to his knees until there are eight metal spikes embedded in his abdomen. he doesn’t let the mask fall for even a second, until he literally PUTS THE ACTUAL MASK ON and finally collapses. even then, he’s fighting for consciousness, twitching and writhing with no control over his body. william afton thrives on control, and his soul will not rest until he gets it back.

it’s why he keeps the pizzeria- he always comes back. he can’t help but return to the scene of the crime, putting on his old costume, continuing his killings. he revels in being a constant threat on the horizon. and now, he knows he is going to die, and he knows the suit will bring him back, and noone will be able to get rid of him then. so he puts the mask back on, and waits.

in terms of the sfx- they’re pretty accurate. with stab wounds, you need to leave the knife in the wound as long as possible for best chance of survival, as it stops the blood from escaping. in terms of the springlocks, there wouldn’t be copious amounts of blood as the locks are keeping the wounds filled- which is good because it means a slower, more painful death.

Andrew is the favorite uncle. Not just for Aaron and Nicky’s kids but all the foxes kids are just obsessed with uncle Andrew.

None of the foxes understand why except for Neil. But that only because Neil is there when Andrew gets up at three am to answer a phone call from their sobbing niece, who admits for the first time out loud that maybe she isn’t a boy and “is that okay uncle Andrew”. Or when Kevin’s kid shows up at there house after getting in an argument with her dad and Andrew lets her rage and rant until it doesn’t seem like the end of the world anymore, then walks her home (hc: they live pretty close for a while cause their on the same team). Or when nobody can get Aaron’s twins to stop crying but as soon as Andrew is given a turn at trying to calm the babies they stop immediately.

The kids all love Andrew he’s the first one they go to with their issues, he’s the first one they run too when all the foxes are together, he’s the first one that they come out too if they’re queer(Nicky is so mad when his kid comes out to Andrew before him)

He’s just a really good uncle.

I wonder if Abby even realizes that her penance for what she did to Joel was to BECOME Joel.

#she probably never understood what could bring a person to kill so many just to save one person #she didnt understand why her dad wouldnt want it to be her on that operating table #until Lev & Owen she didnt have that. she'd never felt that unconditional irrational love & protectiveness for anyone #by the time we see abby at the end of the game i think she understands. at least i hope she does #by the end nothing mattered to her except for protecting Lev #she didnt care that Ellie was there. she didnt care that Ellie wanted to fight/kill her. she just wanted to keep Lev safe #with Owen too #she didnt want to admit something was still there but it was #Abby probably wouldnt have gone to the theater if Owen (and probably Mel) were still alive when she returned from the Island #if Owen were still alive Mel probably wouldve stayed with the WLF & Abby wouldve gone to Santa Barbera #idk i just smoke & have a lot rattling around in my brain #abby anderson #abigail anderson #abby tlou #tlou2 #the last of us #emma rambles #food for thought

Still not heroes. Still necessary.

BREANNA: Maybe we can't take on the world's bigger problems. SOPHIE: What we can do is help one person and then the next and then the next….

Okay, I know that these are soundbites with no context, but I'm just really excited by how much this trailer reveals about how self-aware Leverage: Redemption is, both the people making the show and the characters living in it.

Leverage has been yelling from the start that the system is rigged. It was designed from the very beginning to favor the rich and powerful, and it's only gotten worse. Alexandra Bligh came right out and said it in The Harry Wilson Job:

MS. BLIGH: The world has changed. We no longer manipulate the system. We are the system.

Yeah, we're all watching a silly little tv show, but that statement rang with truth you won't hear from pure fiction. It's something that's glaringly obvious from…well, everything. It's why Harry Wilson is all over the trailer still committing crime with the crew despite last his best intentions to go legit season finale. Because working within a corrupt system sometimes means that you have to cheat to win.

HARRY: My friends specialize in fixing problems that the system won't.

Yeah. They're not heroes. They're just necessary. And they will continue to be urgently, desperately necessary until true, substantial systemic change is achieved. I'm reminded of The Homecoming Job in Leverage S1 where a doctor who'd been fighting for resources to help disabled veterans stared in disbelief at a truckful of cash that the crew had just given her.

DR. LAROQUE: The world doesn't work this way. NATE: So change the world.

He didn't tell her, "We will change the world." Not even Nate Ford was that arrogant. That kind of change isn't something that can happen in the shadows. That kind of change has to take place out in the open light of day, where Leverage can't operate. It has to be led by people—like that doctor— who can withstand the glare of spotlights shining into every corner of their lives. Not thieves and conmen, redeemed or otherwise. Leverage isn't a long-term solution—they're a rescue operation. A dirty, dangerous, hands-in-the-muck kind of rescue operation. And while the heroes of the world are fighting for change, these bad guys turned good guys have work to do.

I know the precise moment I decided that Crowler was everyone's dad episode 31. What I'm curious about is when I apparently decided that Crowler is Chazz's dad specifically?

#it's a trend I've noticed in several things I've done both that exist for the public and that do not #and I'm just really curious what happened in my brain that started that #angel's tears probably #but like I wanna know the exact moment my brain said 'he's everybody's dad but he's *his* dad specifically' #all of this is to say I may question how it happened but I love it #yugioh gx #dr vellian crowler #chazz princeton #abby's insomnia thoughts #abby's just rambling don't mind her

specific arab trace cultural nostalgia things for both your writing/headcanon reference and my nostalgia

the desserts! he misses good kunafeh and doesnt know how to make it like his mom used to (at some point hammond buys him niche storebought ones as a gift. tastes awful but he appreciates the gesture and i think YOU should try kunafeh one day and oops just realized trace is lactose intolerant and so he cant have kunafeh (its got cheese in it as literally THE main ingredient) sad! well lets just say he toughs it out because its the good shit

He also misses semolina pudding! (mamounia its called) This one he can make at home but its not the same as having it made for you yk?? its special and feels lonely eating it at a table alone instead of with family. (OH big thing with arabs is food and hospitality. if youre invited for lunch you get a second serving no questions asked. dining with familys a big thing)

grew up watching iftah ya simsim reruns on vhs (arabic localized sesame street, and the title literally translates to "open sesame") and had a bit of a whiplash when hammond showed him american sesame street actually lemme link the theme song for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hat3-8tkPlA

HEHEH AWWW !!!! stashes these away for later reference

THATS SO CUTE and same on the hospitality culture thing it is FORBIDDEN. FOOOOORBIDDEN for anyone to leave a mexican household with an empty stomach. my friends used to tease me with bets of "ok so how quick do you think nova is going to ask if we're hungry" like BROOOO!! IM BEING POLITE!

i couldnt cook for shit and still cannot but i tried. another funny thing is a friend who i still hold dear to my heart (even though we don't rlly talk anymore) tried my food and she went "m. its. its Edible..." like yeowch that hurt HADUHFKAS. but it was really really funny and i preferred she be honest with me anyway. i giggle about it to this day LOL

just watched the theme song THATS SO CUUUUTE T__T

#i thought the bet was really really funny but the friends turned out to be kinda rude. SAD! #rambles #ask #anonymous #trace av #hammond ac #but abby if ur still out there. ummm HIIIIIEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #my food is a little more than just 'edible' now at least

So I was doing some thinking (bad idea I know)

I tried to put myself into a GA heteronormative mindset. If I believed Mike was straight (first watch through of s1-3 I did tbh) would I still dislike Mi/even? More importantly, would I still be of the opinion that their relationship is beyond repair and they would both be better off broken up?

Now I'm not claiming to be unbiased here, but I really tried to take Mike's queerness and Byler completely out of the equation. And the conclusion I came to is that I still wouldn't like Mi/even, and I still would think they'd be better off broken up.

Obviously. But let's break down all the reasons why.

Reasons I wouldn't personally ship Mi/even:

In season three, it feels like it is moving way too fast, both for their ages and for the fact that El is developmentally stunted from growing up in the lab. Seasons one and two felt like a puppy love first crush, and nothing about their relationship in those seasons felt uncomfortable to me. But in season three, between the frequent kissing and the indirect love confessions from Mike, it all felt too fast in a way that did make me slightly uncomfortable.

The juxtaposition of Mi/even with Lumax. We see Lucas and Max, who are the same age, having a much more realistic and comfortable relationship. This makes the codependency and general uncomfortableness of Mike and El more noticeable.

The fact that Mike was neglecting his friendships in favor of hanging out with El. Mike and El leave rather than helping Dustin set up cerebro when Dustin just got back from camp and wants to spend time with his friends. Dustin vocalizes the fact that this upsets him by calling it, "Bullshit." Mike also obviously neglects his friendship with Will. Even taking Will's romantic feelings completely out of the equation as well, watching Will season three paints Mike and his relationship with El in a bad light, especially if you take Mike's queerness out of the equation. Watching Will destroy Castle Byers is devastating even if he was only feeling betrayed by a friend and not by someone he has feelings for. Feeling sympathy for Will makes the audience upset with Mike and by extension further dislike his relationship with El which is the cause of all of the conflict in the first place. (Again, if we ignore Mike's queerness as a factor in the conflict.) Midleven even negatively affects Mike's relationship with Max! Yes they weren't especially close, but all of their conflict season three has to do with Mike and El's relationship, so if Mike and El weren't dating perhaps Max and Mike would have gotten along more.

Their turbulent relationship in season three. Through a GA lense, I feel that the purpose of their relationship issues and breakup was for some light hearted drama and comedy, and also to give El and Max an opportunity to bond which they otherwise wouldn't have gotten. And it accomplished those things well in my opinion, but it made me start to dislike their relationship further. Because I had already started to become uncomfortable with it, and then they are having issues on top of that.

The fact that El didn't feel comfortable telling Mike about the issues she was having combined with the fact that Mike couldn't say I love you in his letters. If season three hadn't left me with a bad taste in my mouth regarding their relationship I would be able to move past these issues if they were properly resolved, but as it stands, I cannot.

Their fight. Mike gaslit her for one, and called her a Superhero when that was clearly the last thing she needed to hear, both of these things demonstrating that he is not especially sensitive to her feelings. Furthermore, even as she was standing there devastated, he still couldn't give her what she needed, he still couldn't say that he loved her. The only explanation for that in my mind at that point is that he doesn't love her. And while they are only 15 and not being able to say "I love you" quite yet doesn't have to be the end of a relationship 1) It is clear that El wants and expects it, and 2) Mike had two indirect love confessions in season three, so backtracking on that feels weird. It feels like it means something more than "He's just not ready" because he already said it, so how can he "not be ready"? That wouldn't make sense narratively in my opinion.

The "From El" letter. It felt final, it felt like a breakup. Not a silly breakup like in season three, and not El purely being emotional. It felt like a decision she made, a decision she thought through.

"Like it was a fight we can't come back from." This sounds very final as well. Once Mike says that out loud, in my mind, they are done. If they weren't supposed to be over at this point, they shouldn't have had him say that. Nail in the coffin moment for me, given everything else thus far.

I intentionally left out anything that isn't glaringly obvious to the GA, and I left out things that I personally missed on first watch through.

For example, I am not mentioning El not talking to Mike in the cabin at the end of season four because the GA probably feels that she was just upset about Max, and possibly not talking to anyone after visiting Max in the hospital, not just Mike. (I have no interest in arguing about this, let's just say that in my opinion, this moment isn't as cut and dry as many Bylers like to claim.)

Now, of these reasons, there are a few that would convince me that not only is it a ship that I (GA version of me) personally don't like, but furthermore that El and Mike would objectively be better off broken up:

El's upbringing in the lab and the fact that she has not had an opportunity to be single and figure out the nuanced differences between romantic feelings.

Mike's inability to say I love you, the fight, and El's letter.

I'm conclusion, in the hypothetical world where Mike is straight, Mi/even still needs to break up. The fact that I was able to make such an extensive list while taking Mike's queerness and Will's feelings completely out of the equation says a lot.

Now add back in Mike's queercoding and Will's feelings for Mike which were make incredibly obvious in Season 4?

Mi/even bones methinks.

I feel like Arthur's the kind of white that thinks pepper and salt is spicy.

I dunno why I feel this way, but something about Arthur feeling adventurous and sprinkling some pepper on his food then doing the typical Midwestern "WOOO-EEE that's spicy", and Javier being disappointed in the background as he eats a whole jalapeno makes me happy.

I <3 transmasc Wendy because it adds another thing to the kid who does not know how to handle anything being thrown into everything pile but instead of a thing like dead sister it's the prospect that he kind of likes having short hair and the idea of being a guy and it still makes him feel like the world is ending until suddenly the ppl around him are just like fine with it and everything is like cool actually and he melts over that too until finally he's just a normal baby trans person and can get back to being bad at coping with his other hashtag issues again

how did Ellie know where Abby was? I've seen people say that she tortured it out of Nora and that you can see blood on the map, proving that point, but I do not have the game, and none of the gameplays really show the map after that, so is that true? did she honestly torture it out of her? cause I assumed after that third blow, Nora was dead, so I've been really curious how Ellie found out Abby's location

#its kinda bugged me too? #cause playing it you obviously find stuff out that the characters don't #ie abby being the doctors daughter #and i assumed that something similar happened with knowing abby was at the aquarium #but people are saying it was tortured out of her #and i can believe that but i thought she was dead and can't find the map from after that happened #okay i go back now #i just got to that part and am confused again #rambling menace #ouchie revelation #the last of us #tlou2 spoilers #cw death
