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.

#fnaf #fnaf movie #eden rambles #william afton #matthew lillard #springtrap #five nights at freddy's #fnaf spoilers #idk i thought it was a great scene #ppl just need to manage their expectations of what fnaf 1 Actually Is in isolation #not the years of other media and fandom and lore and theory #we literally saw him get springlocked one time in 8 bit with no audio and four frames. how is this worse in comparison #wanna make another post talking abt how the film explores images vs the reality when you look deeper #specifically abby and her drawings/the drawings at freddys vs mike’s motivation being based on the images he sees in his dreams #and how it’s so perfect for fnaf 1 being a game almost entirely made of just scary images without actually exploring the reality #that these robots are Children and Scared and Lost #tldr the fort scene was necessary

AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.

When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.

He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.

Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.

(The worst part is that it’s actually good.)

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #donnie keeps the comms going on in the background as he works #when he gets to the end he’s like what the hell…where’s the rest #donnie: leo where’s part nine #leo barely cognizant after not needing sleep for months: whuh-#donnie: you can’t leave it at a cliffhanger. leo. leo where’s the next part.#listen leo has a great memory for his special interests this is CANON plus he’s a great talker so he would totally be able to do this frfr #whenever he needs to be quiet he’s SILENT but otherwise he’s regaling the exploits of his idols to the captive audience that is The Photo #sometimes Krang sneaks up on him and just listens to him talk like ????#it starts both as leo trying to comfort himself with his favorite things PLUS comfort himself with thoughts of his father #as splinter makes his own crossover fanfiction when sick lol plus he’s Literally Lou Jitsu #and yes krang ALSO gets a bit invested #leo notices the reduction of Ouch but hey more time for rambling fanfic for him 👍#idk leo’s a damn good actor/liar/planner/schemer and I genuinely think that can pivot into storytelling so well #the literal second mikey’s hands heal donnie zooms to his side with hand stabilizers and a request to draw ‘scene 82 from recording 3’#mikey’s like what #so obvs now HE needs to listen as he works #he too gets invested #he comes across raph who mentions having trouble sleeping #mikey: have I got the podcast fanfic for you!#it only somewhat helps raph sleep #somewhat bc sometimes he forces himself to stay awake to hear the rest #yes these recordings go to the whole fam and leo is none the wiser #they don’t even mean to hide it it just never comes up lol #it’s only when donnie FINALLY makes it to the end of the recordings that he confronts leo to continue the story #leo: oH YOU HEARD ALL THAT HUH-

"On the field, I saw a man, young like we were. He carried his brother in a sack over his shoulder. He told me he had promised their mother to take him home. Would you do that for me? I would, but you? I do not know."

In the middle of Thriller Bark rn and I feel like they ramped up the sexism big time UGH the plot points resolving around the Absalom guy are just the worst, you could have it all without the downright SA mr Oda you know that, and now Sanji saying the Invisible fruit was his dream... My dude I thought your dream was the all blue ffs

And Nami being nerfed again and used as a prop, what's new

Also I obv knew about Brook and his pants deal but I didn't know anything else about him apart from some plot points and I was surprised he had such a nice voice and I love his skeleton jokes and he's very fun but AGAIN you could have it all without the pants thing....

It's not like I didn't know this would be happening, it's just annoying when I watch it and I feel there's more of it than there has been so far and it's more explicit ://

Can I see the part Zoro almost dies already? lol

#i knew this sanji scene was gonna happen i just didnt know it would go on so long and be wrapped around with everything else #like the plot is basically telling us that Absalom and Sanji are so similar.#wow what a great parallel to have #i knew Sanji is gonna get worse #but I thought thats after timeskip #its just idk.... I haven't enjoyed this arc for many reasons #me speaking #one piece #just need to get it out of my system

thinking about how they could've ruined madalena's character so many ways in galavant but they didn't < 3

#madalena #galavant #if they had gone through the richard love interest route that'd have been very not interesting and they could've also just made her the #bitch character which would've made me so mad #but they give her backstory! complexity!!! < 3 #I used to be doubtful about the maybe you're not the worst thing ever scene and thought that may be them considering richard x madalena but #later changing their mind (which idk if true)#but now I think it's great bc it has her opening up a bit when he's talking to her as a person and on their own rather than trying to push #any romance #and then she closes back up when he starts doing that again and we see her sad face after 'being forced to be the bad guy'#it's a great way to show pre- kidnapping madalena and show she's not one or the other she's both #anyway #LIKE madalena has trauma the way a traditional male hero would have trauma if that makes any sense

thinking about that one post about how izzy is a code-era closeted gay whose queerness is confined to symbolism and implication, and how that puts him out of step with all the rainbow muppets

thinking about how ofmd is great at having the literal alongside the metaphorical; piracy has always been symbolically queer from the moment that stede left his wife and family to seek self-actualisation on the margins of society - but then they're all literally queer too

thinking about the new unicorn, and the crew accepting and welcoming izzy as part of their community, and part of the revenge in a way that's open and obvious to anyone

thinking about the man who was so panicked by "have you ever been sketched?" now cracking jokes about gay sex and his own kinks

thinking about how izzy was already starting to side with the crew and accept the comfort and support they were offering when "above all else is loyalty to one's captain" managed to become a clumsy and awkward "I have love for you". thinking about how by ep7 izzy "bonnet has done something to my boss's brain" hands is able to (in the same place!) casually drop his love into conversation

thinking about izzy in drag singing a love song and being cheered on and celebrated and utterly part of a community, not just the symbolic pirate family but very explicitly the queer community as well and crying and crying and crying

#ofmd #ofmd spoilers #ngl also thinking about how I swear it looks like he slaps stede's arse in that rope swinging scene #idk I always thought that izzy was a great character #and I always assumed he'd end up on the same side as the crew just bc of the tone of the show #but I did not expect to be this emotional about him #izzy hands

His hands were covered in it. Red, thin, but rich on his tongue. Thicker than wine. Thicker than water. Dark as anger, as vengeance, as grief. He hadn’t known what he was doing. How could he? No one had ever died before. They were the first—the first children, the first progeny, linked forever by birth. Scorned forever by order. How was Cain supposed to know better? When God had split them, made two bodies filled by one soul, he hadn’t been even about it. He hadn’t been kind, judicious in dividing their halves. Abel was loved. Cain was what was left once that love had found a shape to inhabit. A box of corks, the wax rinds from cheeses, scraps of paper and the dull pits of plums. Neither whole without the other, a gleaming carapace and the organs beneath. Cain was wrath, violence, the hand dragging you down to the ground. Abel was the grass beneath bare feet, bread clean of dust, fruit ripened on the vine. Sometimes, Cain wondered if Abel wanted to die— if an awareness of it was given to him, which Cain found himself lacking. Cain hadn’t known what death was, you see. Not until he’d already killed. The scent of the deed stuck to him. Murder. Hunger. Blood. His hands were covered in it.

#hey so #we’re having thoughts #Cain #Abel #is this Bible fanfiction #idk #it’s been years since I looked at this scene in canon so pardon any inaccuracies #someone just said Cain to me and my brain goblin started running on the wheel #blood #murder #deathprose #I sought out some other Cain stuff after I finished this because I had a NEED #so also read #nathanielorion #over here on tumblr if you want something in a similar vibe #their work is really great

as someone who knew nothing about the books or show until i watched it last year on a whim, i was a belly x conrad girlie. i still am, but man, with season 2 already foreshadowing how much theyre soulmates, i feel bad jeremiah doesnt get a fair and fighting chance as belly’s love interest. every time he is, it’s just an afterthought. and it makes the “love triangle” a lot less intriguing bc, well, theres nothing to be intrigued about!!! theres no pining, we all know — even jeremiah himself — that she will always have conrad as number #1. justice for jeremiah and belly to have a fair love story actually
