that post 100% sums up how i feel about springtrap's later designs like, you're telling me that the franchise's main overarching villain and antagonist, a sinister and menacing person who was genuinely terrifying (at least personally) with actions and a design to prove it (his purple era jsjs and ofc Springtrap), got reduced to THAT????

like this dude was a cold blooded murderer who built killer machines and after getting killed by his own creation, his corpse fused with it and was revived by sheer will. this mf who just refuses to fucking die turned into a weird looking burnt ass rat which at this point it's pathetic like bro was LIMPING, he's literally hanging by a thread and you want me to take him seriously?? lol

maybe this is a fitting end for him, an old rotting man who once was an ambitious and well respected man who used his talents for harm and got away with it for decades, now sits as a joke, a pathetic corpse who refuses to die due to his cowardness, completely powerless and not threatening, just a damn cockroach. serves him right

but yeah THE FOOT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE???? LIKE WHAT WERE GHEY THINKING?? ANYTIME I SEE IT I JUST SEE REDRDRRDRRDDRRDD

yah y'see i wouldn't have minded it as much (although i would have been disappointed) if it felt like they were going for that lol. the whole, "goodbye pathetic lil loser bunnyman uwu" thing. like there's a good way ta write an end ta an evil extravagant character like him where he fizzles out pathetically and make it GOOD,,,,but i just feel like there was no forethought abt it,,,,like they TRIED ta make him menacing in the bossfight and ending!! they built his miserable ass up!!! ugh

it happened just really abruptly like as soon as he came back he was gone, which is just. really pathetic. and if they wrote it better i might have enjoyed that but as of now? with security breach having little to know story as it is? its pathetic in a really embarrassing way. its like they didn't know what the fuck ta do w/him and just slapped something tagether

like i get that for ppl who hate him its like a fistpump in the air ta be like, "haha! fuck u man!! die again!!" but,,,,,putting aside my obvious thirst for him,,,,,,its just a really hollow end for a character that has so much chutzpah narratively yk? is there a term for the opposite of fan service b/c thats what it felt like lol. hater service? LMAO

like hello? pizza sim was his perfect physical end???? what they were doing next w/him infecting ppl's minds was really interesting why did they stop that!!!!!!!!!

FUCK THAT FOOT. FUCK IT TA HELL I WANNA BEAT BURNTRAP OVER THE HEAD W/A TREE BRANCH IM SO SERIOUS AND REAL RN WHY DO THEY KEEP REDESIGNING HIM SO AWFUL YOU HIT GOLD W/SPRINGTRAP AND GLITCHTRAP ITS ENUFF!!!

nah y'all have no idea I love cageblind and the movies, and I'm just so disappointed that they are not in the same universe and timeline and barely have any contents of them, like they have so much potential as a duo 😭😭

maybe the fact that two people are getting their bond stronger and working with their flaws as the time went is so interesting to me 😭 (ngl johnshi actually sounds good in paper even before the mk1 timeline??)

I know I'm always mourning that I always ended up in the rarest of the rarepairs but omg I'm getting frustrated that these two don't barely any contents I'm yearning man 😭😭

have u read that 400k superbat pro wrestling au? ik superbat isnt rlly ur thing but its one of my favorite fics on the planet, the character/relationship development is so genuine and its really fun to see how the author ties in all the major DC story beats and plays off kayfabe and all that

I HAVENT??? please please please send a link.... my attention span is in the dirt but i would love to read it, it sounds so interesting....

You know I realize I forgot to mention this before in the Crocodile Power Level Speculation Post/Ask (btw I did go back to edit it so it's actually legible and has a point now lmao)

I really wanna know if Croc has any new tricks with his hook

Like in Alabasta the dude had a poison hook under his regular hook, which was also hiding a tiny blade beneath it as well. This is all fine and dandy, absolutely iconic etc etc

And then we never see him reuse either feature again.

Now to be fair, the only other time we could've seen Crocodile use them would've been in Marineford, but the dude just escaped from prison. Although people are quick to meme about the Marines being 'kind enough' to let Crocodile keep his gigantic fucking hook in prison-- If we're being realistic here, they probably let him keep the base of the hook simply because without a hand any shackle would just slide off his wrist and fall off. Of course he wouldn't still be able to escape or anything since he'd still have the Seastone cuff on his right, but if they wanted to keep him properly shackled then letting him keep even just the hook base would just be the easiest option for the Marines.

It's the fact that the Marines went out of their way to retrieve his missing hook attachment and gave it back to him that's a bit wild

But let's keep in mind that Luffy did break the poison hook back in Alabasta. Even if the Marines let Croc keep the hook attachment, I find it extremely unlikely they would've gone out of their way to fix/replaced the poison hook when the guy's going to jail anyways. If anything it'd make far more sense if they got rid of whatever poison might've still been left in the base and confiscated the blade. Like there's an argument to be made for the Marines letting Crocodile keep his hook due to disability reasons, but the poison and the purely stabby weapon? Not so much

So really, it's very likely the reason Crocodile never used his other weapons in Marineford might've just been that he literally didn't have them on him at the time, just the basic hook

But hey, it's been two whole whooping years. That would be plenty of time for him to replace the broken hook and blade and get some new poison into the hook base too while he's at it

Or

Are there any new weapons Crocodile could've gotten inserted into his hook base that he could whip out

Like just because he could get a new poison hook it doesn't mean he has to get a poison hook, same for the blade as well, right

To be fair, dude feels very old fashioned so I'm not expecting any Inspector Gadget kinda tech from him. Like I don't think Crocodile's knowledgeable about stuff like that himself, at least not enough to install any technically advanced weaponry into the hook on his own, and IDK if he'd trust his hook with anyone to "upgrade it" either for an extended period of time either

But could you imagine if Croc had gotten access to a busted ass Pacifista and stole a laser and had it built into his hook base. He just pulls of the hook and starts blasting people with the laser. How fucking funny would that be. Franky eat your heart out

HSR verse Kaeya ideas:

Path of Nihility, Element Ice

Fell in stride with that path due to his depression after his conflict with Diluc and belief his fate due to his family's ties to the Abyss Order may be to bring his new homeworld's doom ( in part because of his Father's final words to him ), maintained in growing to find amusement in the impossible and working towards it regardless of the fact

Has every intention to try and defy his so-called fate even still, even knowing all that effort may be for naught in the end. But at least he would like to say he tried

Tends to help people on a whim, without desiring credit for his actions or if it may help them in the long run

His abilities sap the vitality of his enemies, but consume his own when he uses his strongest ability

Due to his family's contract with the Abyss Order, his lifespan is longer than most humanoids, spanning centuries. Though not quite that of a Xianzhou native, like them, his people do still face a terrible curse to become monsters after a time, like many of the Abyss Order.

He is glad his loved ones will never live to see him succumb to it. One way or another.

Though he also secretly harbors the strongest desire to force the Abyss's immortality on them to ensure they can stay with him, and face the same fate. He has to wonder if the slumbering monster in him is to blame for that, or his own attachments

I've been wondering about something for a little bit so fuck it I'm making a 24hr poll about it. Lets start with the context... I will put examples of what I mean under the poll if you need them.

SO

Imagine, you find a fic on Ao3. It's caught your eye as you scroll and you take the time to look over its information. You like the look of the summary, it's got your favourite characters in the spotlight, and a lot of the tagged descriptors look interesting to you. This looks like something you would like to read.

However, you recognise a few character names from the Tales from the Pizzaplex books in the tags, or perhaps, you know from following the author that they have most likely put some stuff they found cool from the books into this fic. They say in the fic tags that there's some book stuff that they've made their own in it, and they have clearly tagged a few of the Security Breach/Ruin characters as being the primary protagonists. The summary also doesn't mention any obvious book stuff or theory stuff either. You can tell this is not about the FNaF lore or theorising or anything too. Aside from that, all you truly know is that it looks interesting, has your blorbos in it and that the book animatronics are not the main focus of the AU fic.

With this in mind...

A few examples of animatronics that could be in the fic: Zeus the Sea Dragon, Tiger Rock, the Bobbiedots.

A few examples of concepts that could be in the fic: The 'sewer' of retired animatronics, an entire line of Mimic animatronics in at least one pizzeria, there having been a large range of discontinued attractions/animatronics at the pizzaplex before Security Breach.

Just to be clear, in case you're wondering, these results will not effect whether I do something with book stuf in it or not. I'm just curious.

Putting this in the main SB and book tags for a larger sample size. You can also reblog if you so desire, but I'm not pushing anyone for it. Literally just curious where people are on this

You know you're incredibly dear to Tobias if he allows you to use his Wammy letter even without discussing what you'll be using it for with him beforehand ('use his Wammy letter' meaning the resources it comes with, the networks it allows him to access, the direct contact with nation/army/church/etc leaders across the globe etc). The use of a Wammy letter could easily grant you access to anyone / anything, and if used poorly it could definitely lead to even the WW3 the orphanage was created to divert history from in the first place. To date, the only person Tobias has this much trust in and fondness of is Elijah, who technically already has access to these same resources, but Tobias' letter ("T") has more reach than "E" because he's used it more in order to deepen the connections he's been given, whereas Elijah's whole schtick has always been to remain in the shadows.

Although tbh, more or less the same can be said for his "Tobias" persona too. If he allows you to use it as you see fit without telling him about it first, it means the same thing as above - the main difference being that he'd find it easier to allow you to use "Tobias" over "T". Tobias and T could make anything happen (which is why he wanted the letter in the first place - it grants him resources he could've never even DREAMED of); Tobias works for nearly everything shady/non-legal you might think of, whereas T works for everything legal under the sun, including contacting presidents and demanding something of them with a tested and tried 99.9% success rate (of them saying yes to the demand).

"[...]and... your family."

miklan is still alive in this route and is referenced immediately after this scene, he's literally telling sylvain to take care of miklan too

//if i had a sp multi, it would consist entirely of characters nobody gives a shit about, like ned, thomas (le petit tourette), and GOD HIMSELF.

Random Observation:

Okay, quick disclaimer: I haven’t gotten very far in the Security Breach: Ruin DLC yet by which I mean I haven’t watched all of Markiplier’s videos. However, the other day I ended up running into a spoiler regarding the ‘Gregory’ Cassie talks to in the game.

And given the circumstances, I...can’t help but be reminded of the very first time I wrote Ian.

i will literally riot if the aftons aint bri ish in the movie

Fuck it, I'll bite. Spitroast team?

its preddy good! couldnt find it offline so i had to log in dfhsdghj i actually saw a post earlier about people locking their fics bc of AI so uh yea sorry if you cant experience it

tangentially related to the topic, while not tagged, denouncing the desert also has bounty hunter/jester and since the main couple is shieldbreaker/antiquarian i feel like i hit that one fanfic jackpot everyone has at some point in their lives, the "fanfic not written by me yet specifically tailored to my tastes". its great. its fun and im having fun if you even care btw (<- not meant to antagonize just something ive been saying often)

Me BSing hcs like: The fact that Kae is not only able to create a shield when he is dangerously low HP but also the fact that he is able to regenerate HP when he hits opponents with Frostgnaw is definitely due to him receiving his Vision when Diluc had tried to kill him in their Confrontation...but could it be possible that his familial ties to the Abyss Order could have influenced that HP drain of his-

i honest to god put more stock into the relationship between these double-fictional characters than sb & hs themselves sometimes
