Being transphobic is like walking into an airport and demanding a ticket to New Amsterdam only for the workers to tell them that New York hasn't been New Amsterdam since 1664 but they still demand that ticket to New Amsterdam because "it was called New Amsterdam first and that's what it'll always be!"

"If it's occupied Palestine, why do people call it the state of Israel?"

I mean... Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

Why'd they changed it? I can't say.

The British just liked it better that way.

So take me back to Constantinople.

... No you can't go back to Constantinople.

Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by They Might Be Giants, is so FNAF movie to me. I swear it makes sense.

Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

“Istanbul was Constantinople. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.” — the dead were alive, now they are dead not alive

“Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night.” — Yellow Bunny having fun killing kids( i think)

“Every gal in Constantinople lives in Instanbul, not Constantinople.” — Vanessa,,, her💗

“So if you've got a date in Constantinople. She'll be waiting in Istanbul.” — hint of Vanessa and Mike ig

“Even old New York, was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it, I can't say. People just like it better that way.” — maybe can connect with the theory of Mike being an Afton???? Dunno tbh

“So take me back to Constantinople. No you can't go back to Constantinople. Been a long time gone, Constantinople.” — Mike asking for his brother, or just like. His dream where nothing bad happened

“Why did Constantinople get the works. That's nobody's business but the Turks.” — Garrett being William's first kill; why? That's William's business

Some aahs and Doo doos; the missing kids (death + the fact that they are in enterntainment robots)

“Istanbul

Istanbul” — Puppet, Puppet(??????? I dunno. It hit me that it could make sense)

Some aahs and Doo doos; the missing kids (death + the fact that they are in enterntainment robots) x2

“Istanbul

Istanbul. Even old New York, was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can't say. People just like it better that way.” — [People] = William. Dead was once alive.

“Istanbul was Constantinople. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.” — families used to be happy now aren't n all

“Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Why did Constantinople get the works. That's nobody's business but the Turks.” — now the other missing kids turns to being William's victims. Dunno why they were chosen, only William knows why

Some sick ass violin stuffs and Doo Doo Doo Doo doos (smth like that. What Foxy says)

“So take me back to Constantinople. No you can't go back to Constantinople. Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Why did Constantinople get the works.” — Can't save the kids or your brother from their fate

“That's nobody's business but the Turks.

Istanbul.” — Yellow Bunny will always have ahold on them either way, Mike

#time diary(?)#audrey/kellie's time diary #fnaf #fnaf movie #fnaf missing kids #garrett schmidt #mike afton #micheal schmidt #wiliam afton #steven raglan #vanessa afton #vanessa shelly #five nights at freddy's #had to get this out. it was in my head when Istanbul Not Constantinople was playing #hdhsbhd

--“Istanbul” by They Might Be Giants

lol, TMBG songs are so weird to pick lyrics from. :) Thanks, Jenn!

(drop an “∞” in my askbox and I’ll shuffle my music player and give you my favorite lyric from the song that comes up)
