I really love the direction Gregory’s character is going in - and I think he works way better as a non playable character. In security breach the player had no idea what his motivation for doing anything was, they didn’t know why he wanted to avoid Vanessa or why he was so secretive, but that’s not a bad thing, only when THE PLAYER CHARACTER IS DOING IT
As the player character you want go know your character’s motivation. A big complaint with the first few fnaf games is why the night guard would come back for a second night since it’s so clearly dangerous, which then had to be answered in the form of Michael going around to every pizzeria freeing the souls of the animatronics. Even Jeremy Fitzgerald, a character that does actually try to get out of being the night guard, still lasts 6 days which is confusing. Gregory’s like that but in overdrive. In security breach you have no idea who you are playing as. His choices are very often nonsensical. He’s absolutely hiding something, but as he’s the character you are, it feels like you’re hiding something from yourself?? This works wonders in omori, where that is the games whole plot, but for security breach it just falls flat on its face.
In ruin however? Gregory is absolutely hiding something. THAT IS A PLOT POINT. But even after you talk to original Gregory, he’s still so very clearly not what he seems. He is VERY morally grey, killing Cassie to keep the threat of the mimic at bay. Now, him hiding something from the player actually makes sense because HE ISN’T THE PLAYER. I hope going forward Gregory becomes a character where it’s unclear if he’s a hero or villain, but NOT a playable character. He just works so much better as someone we interact with, but don’t play as.

everyone in the pizzaplex randomly doing the "give your dog a round of applause" thing to roxy to see her reaction <3
I had to look this up apparently it's a tiktok trend or something??
But wow she'd be so confused. Every time they did it she'd just be so so confused. Did she do something good??? Are they joking with her??? The fuck are they doing????
Just nervous laughter if she's done something and they start applauding like 'haha... Yeah... I'm uh... I'm the best?' Like, the applause feels great to her but why are they doing it at that precise moment what did she do???? Her tail would be wagging and she'd be really happy about it if she wasn't so fucking confused and worried they're making fun of her.
Someone explains it to her and she suddenly feels incredibly patronised. But also the next time someone does it before they realise she knows what they're doing, she plays along, barks, wags her tail and bowls them over in fake excitement. While they're on the floor from being knocked over, she pins them there and doesn't let them leave until she gets a fucking apology and a promise to stop doing that shit. Just gets comfy lying on top of Bonnie or someone cause she knows they're not going to cave very quickly lmao

Eclipse Theories
(strap in this is gonna be LONG. I'm so hyperfixatied right now.)
Theory 1: Eclipse isn't a third AI, they are Sun and Moon combined into one AI.
Edit: Youtooz basically just confirmed this!
Tumblr media
This theory has quite a lot of evidence that I will go through in this post, but I must get something out of the way first.
I've never watched The Sun and Moon Show, but to my knowledge, SAMS Eclipse IS a third AI separate from Sun and Moon. So I'm guessing that's where the misconception about Ruin Eclipse comes from, since that series is quite popular.
But there have been SOME fans (not all SAMS fans, but some. no hate to the nice fans or creators.) that are spreading around misinformation about Ruin so I'll just say this.
The Sun and Moon Show is fan-made. It is not canon to the actual FNAF storyline. Therefore, it shouldn't be brought up as evidence when discussing theories about canon DCA lore. It is also rude to complain to Steel Wool when their lore doesn't match up to a FAN-MADE story.
With that out of the way, onto the theory!
1. Eclipse's Name
Tumblr media
defintion of eclipse: an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination.
An Eclipse is when the Sun goes infront of the Moon, obscuring it (or vice versa).
But in most media, an Eclipse is a mixture of the Sun and Moon. So by naming this character ECLIPSE, its pretty clear that Steel Wool is trying to tell us that they are a mixture of Sun and Moon.
Think about it, if they wanted Eclipse to just be a third AI separate from Sun and Moon, why on Earth would they name them ECLIPSE? There are plenty of other space-related names they could've gone with! (Star, Cosmo, Nova, a roman planet name, a greek god related to space name, a constellation name, etc.) It'd be silly to name them Eclipse if they weren't an Eclipse!
2. "Reboot! Reboot! We need to be whole."
Listen I don't know how else to put this, but I think this line pretty much confirms this theory. He doesn't tell us to get rid of Moon, he doesn't tell us to remove any sort of virus, he doesn't just say "Reboot us!" and leave it at that. Sun specifically tells us that rebooting him will make them 'whole' again. He even says 'WE'. As in, him AND Moon. And he confirms that being whole is a good thing because otherwise he wouldn't have asked us! He even says they 'NEED' it.
I know Sun has a habit of speaking in riddles, but there are THOUSANDS of other ways he could've worded that if SteelWool intended Eclipse to be a third AI.
Like. C'mon. What more do you want from me?? I'm going full English teacher on this single sentence!
3. Personality
Tumblr media
Okay now let's go full PYSCHO-ANALYSIS mode on them! May be a little hard since Eclipse only has one scene of screentime but I can make it work!
So, Moon's personality is very aggressive. He was 100% okay with killing Cassie and Gregory, was implied to dissemble staff bots and glamrock endos, and is very intimidating and creepy. (Plus, has succeeded in killing at least two kids if you count the books.)
Moon cares more about rules then he does people. He's so determined to make kids sleep at naptime that he attempts to KILL them, without any thought of their life.
(Sorry for all the Moon slander. He is a silly billy I know but I'm trying to make a point here, it's necessary I promise.)
Tumblr media
The only time we see Moon acting friendly is in merch and posters. But this was confirmed in the Security Breach Files to just be a cover up by Pizzaplex publicity department to make Moon seem less creepy.
Edit: This note from the FNAF Cookbook also confirms this:
Tumblr media
The one trait Moon DOES share with his fabricated merch personality, is calmness. Moon is aggressive and creepy, sure, but he's not loud or panicked like Sun is. He chases us very slowly and carefully instead of charging at us, he waves at us in the elevator and after knocking out Freddy, and his voicelines are menacing but in a quiet way, yknow? Idk how else to describe it.
He IS a lot louder and panicked in Ruin, but that's probably because of the bad state he's in and the fact he doesn't want the lights on. Hes angry, but not in the way Monty or Roxy are in the first game. SteelWool still makes it clear to point out this personality trait.
Tumblr media
Now onto Sun!
Sun cares about people and isn't violent. It's clear he doesn't want to see people hurt. This is seen when he invites Gregory to arts and crafts, warns him about the lights, warns Cassie when it isn't safe and thanks her for her help.
But although Sun has good intentions, the situation he's in makes it hard for him to really be comforting to people. It's been reported on several occasions that kids are just as scared of Sun than they are Moon. This is probably due to his paranoia. He's constantly afriad of Moon coming out and hurting someone, and is desperate to keep the lights on. He's going...a small bit insane, but who can blame him! He's in a very stressful situation, and I feel very bad for him. Hes definitely TRYING to act the way Eclipse does but something is MISSING! Still, it is worth pointing out that the fandom tends to mischaractize him and take away some of his more eccentric traits. Traits that are essential to his personality and story.
He's also very energetic and loud. Overall, it seems he is missing the ability to CALM DOWN. Calm down?? You see what I'm getting at here??
Tumblr media
All this considered, do you see now why I think Eclipse's personality is a mixture of Sun and Moon. He is calm and cares about rules, but also cares about people. He was very comforting to Cassie without a hint of violence or anxiety. He even wished us a faz-errefic day!!
I don't think Sun and Moon are SUPPOSED to be apart, and that's why they act the way they do. In Eclipse, all their personality traits balance out. But when they are apart, there's nothing to balance it out. Moon is violent and only cares about rules, because SUN is the one that is friendly and cares about people. Sun is anxious and eccentric, because MOON is the one that is calm and collected.
Edit: This line from the FNAF Cookbook also implies this?? Specifically the phrasing of "everything moon isnt."
Tumblr media
Thats why Sun specifically ASKED us to make them whole again, because he understood that they needed to be together to have a stable personality!
Moon isn't dead or anything, his personality has just be incorporated into Eclipse. Y'know Steven Universe fusion? Y'know that one TPOH theory I made? It's like that.
Not to mention that this is literally the plot of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the explanation of why Hyde is evil. DCA has been compared to this book twice, once in Tales of the Pizzaplex: Bobbiedots Conclusion, and again the FNAF Character Encyclopedia.
But, if Eclipse is obviously the safer and kinder option for a daycare attendant, why were they split apart into Sun and Moon in the first place?
Theory 2: When, How and Why was Eclipse split apart?
I'm not 100% confident in my theory about this yet, so I'll do this differently. Inside of saying my theory and THEN giving the evidence supporting it, I'll do it backwards. I'll lay out all the pieces of evidence first and make a theory after. This way, you'll understand where I'm coming from and it'll be easier for people to correct me if they find a better version of my theory.
Evidence:
Fazbear Entertainment must've wanted this to happen because rebooting them is very easy and there is merch of Sun and Moon around the Pizzaplex.
Eclipse must have worked in the Daycare at some point, because they talk about kids coming in and cleaning up in their dialogue.
Eclipse was most likely the original DCA because rebooting them restores them to factory settings, aka how they were first made, aka Eclipse.
Fazbear Entertainment must've had a reason not to reboot them after they realised Moon went wrong.
Vanny/Vanessa must've had something to do with this. There is purple glitches in the Eclipse Arcade machine, a drawing of a bunny in the daycare and graffiti of Vanny outside the Daycare.
They can't be effected by the same version of the Vanny Virus the Glamrocks are because that is implied to only take effect the night Gregory came to the Pizzaplex, and Moon has been evil a lot longer than that.
Tumblr media
Okay! To start off this story, Eclipse was the original daycare attendant. The way we see them in Ruin is just Ruined Sun and Moon, so I'm guessing they used to look like Arcade Eclipse. (Yeah I know they look creepy but let's be honest they all do.) Arcade Eclipse looks a lot more like an actual ECLIPSE and has the lore implications I mentioned.
Eclipse worked at the daycare and the kids weren't afriad of them because their personality was friendly and caring, just like the way we see them in their one scene.
(Or if you follow the book narrative. They worked in the theater and acted the PART of Sun and Moon, but weren't the real deal since obviously you couldn't have a real murder robot on stage. Offstage they were just Eclipse. That's why they already had the transformation mechanic, plus merch. When they were moved to the daycare, they could have met Cassie when it opened, or before it opened, since she was been established to get early access to stuff like the Foxy Logride. Since its implied Cassie went to the daycare before and talks about it positively. Which wouldnt make sense if she met Sun and Moon. But I don't know if the books are canon or not.)
Its revealed in SB that Vanessa got the job as security with no experience and with a recommendation. She's also the ONLY security guard. From this we can infer that she is somehow able to pull strings in Fazbear Entertainment to get things going in Vanny's evil plan.
With this information, I think it was HER that confirmed Fazbear Entertainment to re-theme the Daycare to Sun and Moon. They might have wanted to use Moon as a Naptime AND Security Bot. The switch to turn off the lights is in the Daycare SECURITY office, Moon patrols the Pizzaplex at the end of each hour like a security guard, and Vanessa never seems to question it during her patrols.
Vanny specifically split them so that Moon was evil. And when Fazbear Entertainment realises what happened, Vanessa convinced them to not go through the trouble of re-theming the Daycare again so they just added generators and told Sun to keep the lights on.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The problem was that Sun still remembered being Eclipse. The drawing on the bottom seems to be of Eclipse. The one on the top has Moon's hat and different facial expressions for both of their face sides.
This also explains why the Eclipse Arcade Machine is in Sun's room, he probably stole it. Plus, in the AR version of Sun's room in Ruin, there's an image of Arcade Eclipse on the ceiling.
Thats why Sun told us to reboot him, because he knew they'd go back to being Eclipse.
So overall I think Eclipse is a happy ending for both Sun and Moon, and completes their mini character arc! That said, the amount of screentime they got was CRIMINAL and I hope we see more of them at some point.
(Edit: Updating this with more evidence!)
4. Design
Tumblr media
In scenes where Moon is in control of their body, his left eye glows red and the right one is black.
Tumblr media
In scenes where Sun is in control of their body, his right eye glows yellow and his left one is black.
The eyes are clearly meant to represent which personality is in control.
Tumblr media
When Eclipse is in control, their right eye glows yellow AND their left eye glows red. This represents that both Sun and Moon are in control of their body.
If Eclipse was a new person, then their eyes would glow a completely new colour to represent them being in control. Or they wouldn't glow at all, to represent neither Sun nor Moon being in control.
Eyes are the window to the soul, and eye colours are known to have a lot of significance in the FNAF lore, like with Circus Baby!
Tumblr media
In Ruin, Sun and Moon's arms don't glow at all. They barely have any colour because they are so broken and damaged.
Tumblr media
But Eclipse's right arm glows yellow (Sun's signature colour) and their left arms glows blue (Moon's signature colour). I also think this represents both Sun and Moon being in control.
If Eclipse was a new character, then their arms would glow a completely new colour, or not glow at all.
This feels almost MORE intentional than the eyes, because someone had to 3D model an entirely new glow effect for ONE scene.
If that isn't visual storytelling, I dunno what is.
Edit: I also noticed that in the cutscene when you reboot them, there is a moment where they seem to be shaking and struggling, before they stop and start talking as Eclipse.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Its kind of hard to see since Sun's pupil are very bright but in this scene, both of their eyes are glowing, but they are looking around in different directions. This gives the impression of the eyes being mismatched and not yet working in unison, as eyes normally do.
Tumblr media
Then they go quiet, their head looks down for a second, springs back up, and we have Eclipse! Eclipse's eyes are both glowing and facing the same direction, and continue to work in unison even as they move around during the rest of the cutscene.
The fact that the animators took the time to add both of their eyes glowing as they were struggling, instead of just waiting for when their head leaned down (and their face went out of the camera shot) to change their eyes, means this was important.
I kind of see this as Sun and Moon's personality "recalibrating" with eachother as they rebooted. As in, it took awhile for their code to get used to the fact that they were now both controlling their body now. Their body convulsing in this moment as they became un-paralysed also suggests this. Plus you can see their arms start glowing.
Sort of like when you reboot a computer and it takes awhile for it took clear out all the bad data and start up again.
Edit: But! When I watched their cutscenes in slow motion, I notice that Eclipse still moves a bit out of sync even while they are talking and fully rebooted. Not the same way they did when they were split up, but enough to give the impression that this body is controlled by two people. And that they aren't completely used to it yet.
You could make the argument that I am overanalyzing these animations, but as an animator myself, I know how long it takes to complete and animation and these details being intentional is a lot more probable then you might think.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After Eclipse says "Happy Birthday" he brings both his hands up to his chest in a friendly pose. But, if you slow the clip down, you see that Sun's arm clenches its fist awhile before Moon's arm does, while his arm is still off to the side and not at his chest. It's only after awhile do they actually hold hands, with Moon's arm grabbing onto Sun's. This gives the impression of them being slightly out of sync, but still trying their best to work together.
Tumblr media
This may just be because Sun's pupil is harder to see, but I also think their eyes look very vaguely out of sync in some parts if you slow it down.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Eclipse even does Moon's signature wave with their Moon hand when they say goodbye to you. Showing that some of their characteristics still carried over after being merged together.
Also-also, the one peice of evidence that is flimsy in my theory is Sun's 'thank you' at the end of this sequence. Some people interpert this to mean that Sun is still conscious within Eclipse so therefore he has to be a third AI.
I think the fact that it takes a moment for Eclipses system to fully reboot could also explain this moment, but not disprove my theory.
The whole Eclipse talking scene takes up around 20 seconds. It's not crazy to believe that some of Sun's code may not be calibrated yet. Plus, it's implied that Eclipses losses some if not all of his memories when he reboots, so this could be what's left of Sun's individual code thanking Cassie for helping them, since they would forget to do so when they are fully rebooted. This is backed up by what I said about Eclipse still moving a little out of sync.
Or its meant in a more symbolic way. Since we don't SEE them say this, it gives it a ghost-like vibe. Like a final send-off for Sun's character, as we know it. Confirming that they are finally OK.
Or or Eclipse is able to subconsciously slightly split themselves apart again to allow their Sun half to talk to Cassie. (or maybe they can just use Sun's voice if they want to.) Reminder that partial eclipse's exist! That's something to think about!
Tumblr media
Either way, I don't think this scene necessarily deconfirms my theory on Eclipse. But it is very interesting.
5. Writing
Ok so this section will get into more meta stuff like the rules of storytelling and the future fnaf games. If you think that stuff is too subjective to be seen as evidence, then I see your point, but I want to add it anyway since its an element of theorising that is often overlooked.
(Feel free to just skip this part tho if you don't like it, since this theory already has decent enough evidence without it.)
So let's be honest, I think that Ruin was the end of DCA's story. Sure they had cameos in help wanted 2 but that all took place before Ruin and therefore didn't feature Eclipse. We have to remember that DCA is a side character, so even if they do get more cameos in later installments, I doubt it would be anything substantial. The writers dont have much reason to place all the spotlight on him. And from how little we see characters from older fnaf characters in modern games, I don't think the SB characters will be any different, unfortunately.
And from how it's treated narratively, I really think that them getting rebooted is supposed to be the end of DCA's character arc. And a happy one, at that.
And, if we assume this is true, then Eclipse being a third character makes absolutely ZERO sense. The entire storyline falls apart.
And, like I said before, they way people view DCA is often influenced by fanon AUs, headcanons, etc.
And in fanon, this isn't a problem! It doesn't matter that this is the end of DCAs story, because they could just write more fan story! They could explain everything about this new character, Eclipse, how Sun and Moon feel about him, what happens after that and after that. And that's fine, I'm not trying to be the fun police and say you can't do that.
But when you make the jump from "fanfiction" to "legitimate theory I think is canon" you need to keep in mind that SteelWool has...actual professional writers writing their story. So therefore you need to play by their rules if you want your theory to be solid. And the rules say that they don't have much time to develop DCA's story after this.
So, let's see how Eclipse being a third character wouldn't make sense for a proffesional writer to do, in the context that this is the last we will see of DCA, for the most part.
First of all
Tumblr media
WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY??? We've been following Sun and Moon this whole time and now you are just gonna drop this random third twink on us?? And then end the character arc and leave this new guy with exactly one scene of screentime??
I mean, he had a little build-up but not enough for him to stand on his own two feet as a full character! Where's he been all this time?? What's his job?? What do Sun and Moon think of him?? Why does rebooting them to factory settings trigger him to take control for some reason??
Eclipse being a combination of Sun and Moon fixes this problem. Because we already know who he is! Technically any Sun and Moon screentime we had at this point counts as Eclipse screentime, because we can guess how Eclipse would act by combining the two. And I think his lore involves just a little less 'making stuff up'.
Second of all,
What the hell happened to Sun and Moon?
No but seriously. Are they dead? Because that's the only explanation people are giving me!
People say stuff like "oh they were finally put to rest 😔" NO??
This whole narrative was about Sun and Moon fighting for control over their body, and how much pain that caused them. How is that suddenly a good thing when some other THIRD GUY takes control of their body instead? Don't they just get send to whatever subconscious purgatory they are in when they aren't in control? Sun is still paranoid mess, Moon still wants to murder people, and they both still hate eachother. Nothing has REALLY changed.
How is that a happy ending? Why on earth would Sun THANK us for that??
Again, my theory clears that up because now Sun and Moon are BOTH in control, and don't have to fight anymore.
Do you see now how Eclipse being a third AI destroys any type of closure and satisfaction the ending gave? Plus I think it's just makes everything CANONICALLY less interesting, in my opinion. And because of that I really don't think it's how Steelwool intended the ending to be interpretated.
Again, if you just like the idea of Eclipse being a third guy for fanon reasons, than thats fine. That's what AUs are all about! But if you spread misinformation about the CANON lore, then I just have to disagree.
Edit: Another thing!
When we turn the lights on, Sun doesn't take control of their body. Instead, they are paralysed and can't move at all. Helpy mentions that they are malfunctioning, and I think this means that whatever mechanism diverts control of the body between Sun and Moon is broken. This means, in the physical world, only Moon is able to take control of the body. And the AR World is just where Sun's consciousness ended up.
Tumblr media
If you look closely you can see their circuit board has multiple broken wires. These broken wires may have been what causes the control to divert, and they were damaged when the Pizzaplex went into ruin. This means that Sun is unable to take control of the body even if the lights are on, and the control is stuck on Moon and causes him to instead be paralysed since the system still recognises that Moon can't be in light, but can't solve the problem by giving Sun control.
With this established, it doesn't make sense for Eclipse to be a third AI that took control when they were rebooted, because the system that diverts control is broken. That system couldn't be fixed with the reboot either, since it's his actual PHYSICAL wires that are disconnected. Even if Eclipse became consciousness, there's no reason for him to be un-paralysed if he was a third AI that needs to take control away from Sun and Moon. Even if Eclipse was triggered by something other than light, if he is seperate from Sun and Moon, then the control system would still need to be used.
But if Eclipse was a fusion of Sun and Moon, then it wouldn't matter if the system was broken, because they wouldn't need to divert control to anyone! There's no one else inside their brain, it's just them now, and they are one person. Sun and Moon fusing together eliminates the paralysis because their code recognises Sun as being able to move in the light. And since Sun is already a part of Eclipse, there no need for the broken control system to be used. This allows Eclipse to be unaffected by light and can move away from the generator without anything happening. The reboot restores them to their factory settings, and those settings have no use for the control code because there is only one of them.

So apparently people think that the mimic cut the elevator cord? And that the mimic is still mimicking Gregory even after the reveal?
I don’t think this is true, but I also think it would just be bad from a story perspective? 
So not only does this theory suggest that the Gregory in the caves and even at the start of the elevator is actually Gregory but then suddenly switches to the mimic, but also that the mimic had a means to access and then cut the elevator wires with only one hand, and in the files the voice lines are specifically labelled as not the mimic. It just doesn’t make sense.
But then, it also dampens it from a story perspective. Cassie is a tragic character. She tries to save her friend but has to be killed to prevent the mimic from being released. She doesn’t NEED to come back. This franchise (literally just steel wool) has a fascination for bringing back “dead” characters (shut the fuck up scott never did this even when scraptrap came in fnaf 6 we already knew that springtrap didn’t burn in the fire IN FNAF 3) and it really isn’t needed. Let Cassie be a tragic character with a tragic end. Yes she didn’t have to die. Yes Gregory killing her is brutal. But this is DRAMA. Explore Gregory’s decision, does protecting the greater good justify killing an innocent girl? A friend? Explore how it tears him up inside, if it does at all. Make it an actual choice with consequences instead of “oh don’t worry Gregory I’m fine you made the objectively right decision.”
Okay this is an edit but also I really don’t get why people are so torn up about Gregory killing Cassie like what part of this character makes it seem like he wouldn’t do that even to his friend.
He killed (sentient, which he fully well knew) animatronics MULTIPLE TIMES. He VERY CLEARLY has a plan and he will let nothing get in his way. He is NOT what he seems. Yes he was likely friends with Cassie but he would absolutely put what he thinks is the greater good above Cassie’s life. He is a very straightforward person that will stop at nothing to do what he thinks is right, even if that requires LITERAL MURDER.
And don’t act like just because he’s now killed a human means you can’t obsess over him, I’ve seen what this fandom does to purple guy.
Character =/= real people. If a character does a bad thing that doesn’t mean you have to hate them.

I think a lot of the current fnaf stuff that involves Gregory shows us that there’s a lot more to him we don’t know about yet, and there’s potential there to have a character with a lot of depth to them which I am very excited for. I need the Gregory slander to stop!!!
exactly! the great security breach content massacre caused more characters than vanny to be screwed over. like of course vanny was the focus in the trailers but the important scenes Gregory got in were also nowhere to be found. I think theres a lot more to him that isnt easy to see because its not obvious and you have to analyze and dive deep as hell to get to it but I hope they expand more on what WE can see, because it's really good and omg suuhcchhh a good character for an MC

Transcription:
Dear High Commissioner,
This will be my last official communication to you as Director of the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
I write at a moment of great anguish for the world, including for many of our colleagues. Once again, we are seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes, and the Organization that we serve appears powerless to stop it. As someone who has investigated human rights in Palestine since the 1980s, lived in Gaza as a UN human rights advisor in the 1990s, and carried out several human rights missions to the country before and since, this is deeply personal to me.
I also worked in these halls through the genocides against the Tutsis, Bosnian Muslims, the Yazidi, and the Rohingya. In each case, when the dust settled on the horrors that had been perpetrated against defenseless civilian populations, it became painfully clear that we had failed in our duty to meet the imperatives of prevention of mass atrocites, of protection of the vulnerable, and of accountability for perpetrators. And so it has been with successive waves of murder and persecution against the Palestinians throughout the entire life of the UN.
High Commissioner, we are failing again.
As a human rights lawyer with more than three decades of experience in the field, I know well that the concept of genocide has often been subject to political abuse. But the current wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people, rooted in an ethno-nationalist settler colonial ideology, in continuation of decades of their systematic persecution and purging, based entirely upon their status as Arabs, and coupled with explicit statements of intent by leaders in the Israeli government and military, leaves no room for doubt or debate. In Gaza, civilian homes, schools, churches, mosques, and medical institutions are wantonly attacked as thousands of civilians are massacred. In the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, homes are seized and reassigned based entirely on race, and violent settler pogroms are accompanied by Israeli military units. Across the land, Apartheid rules.
This is a text-book case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of indigenous Palestinian life in Palestine. What’s more, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and much of Europe, are wholly complicit in the horrific assault. Not only are these governments refusing to meet their treaty obligations “to ensure respect” for the Geneva Conventions, but they are in fact actively arming the assault, providing economic and intelligence support, and giving political and diplomatic cover for Israel’s atrocities.
In concert with this, western corporate media, increasingly captured and state-adjacent, are in open breach of Article 20 of the ICCPR, continuously dehumanizing Palestinians to facilitate the genocide, and broadcasting propaganda for war and advocacy of national, racial, or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility, and violence. US-based social media companies are suppressing the voices of human rights defenders while amplifying pro-Israel propaganda. Israel lobby online-trolls and GONGOS [sic] are harassing and smearing human rights defenders, and western universities and employers are collaborating with them to punish those who dare to speak out against the atrocities. In the wake of this genocide, there must be an accounting for these actors as well, just as there was for radio Milles Collines in Rwanda.
In such circumstances, the demands on our organization for principled and effective action are greater than ever. But we have not met the challenge. The protective enforcement power Security Council has again been blocked by US intransigence, the SG is under assault for the mildest of protestations, and our human rights mechanisms are under sustained slanderous attack by an organized, online impunity network.
Decades of distraction by the illusory and largely disingenuous promises of Oslo have diverted the Organization from its core duty to defend international law, international human rights, and the Charter itself. The mantra of the “two-state solution” has become an open joke in the corridors of the UN, both for its utter impossibility in fact, and for its total failure to account for the inalienable human rights of the Palestinian people. The so-called “Quartet” has become nothing more than a fig leaf for inaction and for subservience to a brutal status quo. The (US-scripted) deference to “agreements between the parties themselves” (in place of international law) was always a transparent slight-of-hand, designed to reinforce the power of Israel over the rights of the occupied and dispossessed Palestinians.
High Commissioner, I came to this Organization first in the 1980s, because I found in it a principled, norm-based institution that was squarely on the side of human rights, including in cases where the powerful US, UK, and Europe were not on our side. While my own government, its subsidiarity institutions, and much of the US media were still supporting or justifying South African apartheid, Israeli oppression, and Central American death squads, the UN was standing up for the oppressed peoples of those lands. We had international law on our side. We had human rights on our side. We had principle on our side. Our authority was rooted in our integrity. But no more.
In recent decades, key parts of the UN have surrendered to the power of the US, and to fear of the Israel Lobby, to abandon these principles, and to retreat from international law itself. We have lost a lot in this abandonment, not least our own global credibility. But the Palestinian people have sustained the biggest losses as a result of our failures. It is a stunning historic irony that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in the same year that the Nakba was perpetrated against the Palestinian people. As we commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the UDHR, we would do well to abandon the old cliché that the UDHR was born out of the atrocities that proceeded it, and to admit that it was born alongside one of the most atrocious genocides of the 20th Century, that of the destruction of Palestine. In some sense, the framers were promising human rights to everyone, except the Palestinian people. And let us remember as well, that the UN itself carries the original sin of helping to facilitate the dispossession of the Palestinian people by ratifying the European settler colonial project that seized Palestinian land and turned it over to the colonists. We have much for which to atone.
But the path to atonement is clear. We have much to learn from the principled stance taken in cities around the world in recent days, as masses of people stand up against the genocide, even at risk of beatings and arrest. Palestinians and their allies, human rights defenders of every stripe, Christian and Muslim organizations, and progressive Jewish voices saying “not in our name”, are all leading the way. All we have to do is to follow them.
Yesterday, just a few blocks from here, New York’s Grand Central Station was completely taken over by thousands of Jewish human rights defenders standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people and demanding an end to Israeli tyranny (many risking arrest, in the process). In doing so, they stripped away in an instant the Israeli hasbara propaganda point (and old antisemitic trope) that Israel somehow represents the Jewish people. It does not. And, as such, Israel is solely responsible for its crimes. On this point, it bears repeating, in spite of Israel lobby smears to the contrary, that criticism of Israel’s human rights violations is not antisemitic, any more than criticism of Saudi violations is Islamophobic, criticism of Myanmar violations is anti-Buddhist, or criticism of Indian violations is anti-Hindu. When they seek to silence us with smears, we must raise our voice, not lower it. I trust you will agree, High Commissioner, that this is what speaking truth to power is all about.
But I also find hope in those parts of the UN that have refused to compromise the Organization’s human rights principles in spite of enormous pressures to do so. Our independent special rapporteurs, commissions of enquiry, and treaty body experts, alongside most of our staff, have continued to stand up for the human rights of the Palestinian people, even as other parts of the UN (even at the highest levels) have shamefully bowed their heads to power. As the custodians of the human rights norms and standards, OHCHR has a particular duty to defend those standards. Our job, I believe, is to make our voice heard, from the Secretary-General to the newest UN recruit, and horizontally across the wider UN system, insisting that the human rights of the Palestinian people are not up for debate, negotiation, or compromise anywhere under the blue flag.
What, then, would a UN-norm-based position look like? For what would we work if we were true to our rhetorical admonitions about human rights and equality for all, accountability for perpetrators, redress for victims, protection of the vulnerable, and empowerment for rights-holders, all under the rule of law? The answer, I believe, is simple—if we have the clarity to see beyond the propagandistic smokescreens that distort the vision of justice to which we are sworn, the courage to abandon fear and deference to powerful states, and the will to truly take up the banner of human rights and peace. To be sure, this is a long-term project and a steep climb. But we must begin now or surrender to unspeakable horror. I see ten essential points:
1. Legitimate action: First, we in the UN must abandon the failed (and largely disingenuous) Oslo paradigm, its illusory two-state solution, its impotent and complicit Quartet, and its subjugation of international law to the dictates of presumed political expediency. Our positions must be unapologetically based on international human rights and international law.
2. Clarity of Vision: We must stop the pretense that this is simply a conflict over land or religion between two warring parties and admit the reality of the situation in which a disproportionately powerful state is colonizing, persecuting, and dispossessing an indigenous population on the basis of their ethnicity.
3. One State based on human rights: We must support the establishment of a single, democratic, secular state in all of historic Palestine, with equal rights for Christians, Muslims, and Jews, and, therefore, the dismantling of the deeply racist, settler-colonial project and an end to apartheid across the land.
4. Fighting Apartheid: We must redirect all UN efforts and resources to the struggle against apartheid, just as we did for South Africa in the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s.
5. Return and Compensation: We must reaffirm and insist on the right to return and full compensation for all Palestinians and their families currently living in the occupied territories, in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and in the diaspora across the globe.
6. Truth and Justice: We must call for a transitional justice process, making full use of decades of accumulated UN investigations, enquiries, and reports, to document the truth, and to ensure accountability for all perpetrators, redress for all victims, and remedies for documented injustices.
7. Protection: We must press for the deployment of a well-resourced and strongly mandated UN protection force with a sustained mandate to protect civilians from the river to the sea.
8. Disarmament: We must advocate for the removal and destruction of Israel’s massive stockpiles of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, lest the conflict lead to the total destruction of the region and, possibly, beyond.
9. Mediation: We must recognize that the US and other western powers are in fact not credible mediators, but rather actual parties to the conflict who are complicit with Israel in the violation of Palestinian rights, and we must engage them as such.
10. Solidarity: We must open our doors (and the doors of the SG) wide to the legions of Palestinian, Israeli, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian human rights defenders who are standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine and their human rights and stop the unconstrained flow of Israel lobbyists to the offices of UN leaders, where they advocate for continued war, persecution, apartheid, and impunity, and smear our human rights defenders for their principled defense of Palestinian rights.
This will take years to achieve, and western powers will fight us every step of the way, so we must be steadfast. In the immediate term, we must work for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the longstanding siege on Gaza, stand up against the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, Jerusalem, and the West Bank (and elsewhere), document the genocidal assault in Gaza, help to bring massive humanitarian aid and reconstruction to the Palestinians, take care of our traumatized colleagues and their families, and fight like hell for a principled approach in the UN’s political offices.
The UN’s failure in Palestine thus far is not a reason for us to withdraw. Rather it should give us the courage to abandon the failed paradigm of the past, and fully embrace a more principled course. Let us, as OHCHR, boldly and proudly join the anti-apartheid movement that is growing all around the world, adding our logo to the banner of equality and human rights for the Palestinian people. The world is watching. We will all be accountable for where we stood at this crucial moment in history. Let us stand on the side of justice.
I thank you, High Commissioner, Volker, for hearing this final appeal from my desk. I will leave the Office in a few days for the last time, after more than three decades of service. But please do not hesitate to reach out if I can be of assistance in the future.
Sincerely,
Craig Mokhibe

The security breach crew just listening to a nonbinary mechanic reader venting and rambling about Vanessa misgendering them
˗ˏˋ THAT'S NOT RIGHT ´ˎ˗
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
— CHARACTER'S?: Glamrock Freddy, Glamrock Chica, Montgomery Gator, Roxanne Wolf, Sundrop, Moondrop
— A/NOTE?: Vanessa slander. And my personal headcanon that Monty and Roxy call people rockstar, Chica and Freddy call people superstar and the daycare attendants call people sunshine.
Tumblr media
➸ GLAMROCK FREDDY
He'll listen to you patiently, letting you vent all you need. Bottling it up is bad so he's happy you're safe to talk to him. But he is upset with Vanessa, and will mention to her that she needs to try better to make sure to get your pronons and name right.
He will also offer you a hug and will then try to get you to dance/sing with him once you're finished venting, in an attempt at cheering you up and getting your mind off of it.
Tumblr media
➸ GLAMROCK CHICA
What!? She is a little too engaged in this whole thing. She doesn't like Vanessa and she has zero shame on showing it. She will vent about Vanessa with you. She will also make sure that you know how valid your feelings about this are! She will absolutely threaten Vanessa in a subtle way that's very creepy.
She will absolutely try to get you to come to her maze with her to play so you can get your mind away from Vanessa! And she will bring you all sorts of pizza and snacks from the Pizzaplex. All your favorites! You deserve it!
Tumblr media
➸ MONTGOMERY GATOR
He might be angrier than you are. How dare she? That worthless security guard? He's going to rip her to shreds! He will encourage you, and once you're done and okay again, he will go.. talk to Vanessa. He will scare the fuck out of her. Might also threaten less than.. pleasant things.
He's going to drag you to his golf course to play games with him. Doesn't even have to be golf, you can both make up some silly game. Or, if you're the type, he'll take you to his room where tou can rage, and scream, and break stuff as much as you want. Go wild, rockstar!
Tumblr media
➸ ROXXANE WOLF
Oh fuck no. There is no misgendering in this Pizzaplex. Roxy is ready to fist fight Vamessa within 0.3 seconds of your vent. Don't test her, either, she will absolutely murder Vanessa. She knows how. She can hide the body. They won't know. How would they know? On the other side, she will also make sure you know how valid your feelings are. 'Cause they are! She will encourage you to go tell Vanessa off.
She will take you to race with her, if you're into that. Or she'll take you somewhere else. Maybe her room? Would you like to just vibe with her? She'll do whatever she feels will make you the happiest.
Tumblr media
➸ SUNDROP
That's horrible! He feels very bad that you're getting misgendered. Did Vanessa do it on purpose? Was it a slip-up? He's very engaged in what you're saying, and trying to decide how he should be acting towards Vanessa until she apologizes. He will try to make you talk to Vanessa in a grown up, mature way. If it wasn't on purpose, surley she will listen if you tell her you're upset and try to correct her behaviors towards you.
If he thinks you need to be distracted a bit, he will invite you to play a game, or do some arts and crafts. Do you like to paint? Draw? Hide and seek? Tag? He can do it all!
Tumblr media
➸ MOONDROP
Oh, he doesn't like Vanessa. This is basically his invitation to murder her and hide her body where nobody will ever find her. No? Okay.. If he isn't allowed to fight her alone, he will encourage you to do so. She has no right misgendering you.
If you really don't want to, he might ask you if you would like to take a nap. He's good with those. Or would you like to play a game? He can do that. Or he could let Sun have control to help cheer you up instead. He'll do what you want.

You know people want to get on here and other social media and talk about how “it’s silly season this is how the sport works” except no. Daniel had a legally binding contract through 2023. Daniel was fucking slandered by this team and made to be a scapegoat for their shitty car and shitty decisions, and so many people bought into the bullshit. Then the team went behind his back, deliberately breaching their contract and are forcing him out, when he should’ve been secure for another year. That’s not how this was supposed to go by all intents and purposes of his contract. McLaren was legally and morally corrupt in every single step they took this year and I hope they pay immensely for their actions.
And I don’t want to see any “this is Zak Brown not McLaren.” Please learn about agency law before you talk to me about the decisions of an individual versus the entire organization.
