And now for something new

So, here's something I was never planning on doing, but I just couldn't shake the idea... Thanks Ken Penders is gaining a sister blog featuring an entirely different comic franchise!

Introducing... Thanks Steve Ditko, a blog where I read the Earth-616 Spider-Man comics, starting all the way back in the '60s! It's gonna be much more casual and less thorough than how I run things here on TKP, though, which I'll explain in a sec.

If seeing me post weird bits from old Spider-Man comics sounds fun and you need no further info, then just head right on over to Thanks Steve Ditko. But for longtime TKP readers, I know you probably have questions...

Number one: Why?

Spider-Man's always been my favorite superhero, and with the Spider-Verse movies kicking ass and my excitement building for the new Insomniac game, I've been in a Spidey mood. Inevitably, a thought occurred to me: Maybe I should actually read the comics that everything else is built off of and see the wildly varying contributions of all the original creators, rather than filtering them through big budget adaptations. If I can power through One Piece and all these other manga with hundreds of chapters, it can't be that hard... right?

And, well, after a few issues I quickly realized that my options were to either clog up my other accounts with random Spider-Man panels for years, or to just make a side blog. And so the side blog was born.

Two: Will this blog replace Thanks Ken Penders?

NO!!!!!!!!!

Okay but prove it

To allow the two to exist side-by-side, Thanks Steve Ditko will have a different format than what Thanks Ken Penders developed. Rather than an in-depth guided tour that critically analyzes every story beat of every issue, TSD will just be a place for amusing panels and brief thoughts as I casually read the comics at my own pace.

If you've seen me make a few tweets about reading Spider-Man recently, I'm basically just moving that to a dedicated Tumblr. It's a place for me to dump these things so that it doesn't fill up my media tab on Twitter for the next decade. (You know, assuming Twitter is still around in a decade.) There will be many issues where I only post two panels that I thought were funny. There will be issues where I don't have anything to say at all. Maybe I'll reach a run that I just cannot get into, and I start skipping around more. Who knows!

This may sound similar to what I thought this blog would be before it blew up. Aside from the simple fact that there's already mountains of Spider-Man commentary out there and therefore less of a void for me to fill, one of the main steps I'll be taking to avoid repeating the past is not enabling an ask box on TSD. I do not need people to ask me to go into ten times more detail on everything. I do not need to write seven essay-length responses to questions about Spider-Man minutiae every day. I do not need a place for people to chide me for not covering certain scenes, issues, or ancillary series.

It also won't have any kind of update schedule. I'm trying to keep it very casual. I'm reading these comics at my own pace, and if I feel like sharing a moment or commenting on something while doing so? It goes there. That's it.

(On the subject of format changes, I'm also listing the issue, writer, and penciller in the body of every post. This is a thing I wish I'd done on TKP so that people didn't misattribute every weird Archie Sonic panel I post to Penders.)

Three: So when will TKP come back from hiatus? You said it'd come back after you finished SLARPG!

I don't know! Sorry. I have a couple things on the backburner right now for TKP, but I'm not sure when I'll get back to proper updates where I read more comics.

I wanted to bring TKP back this year, and that's still possible. The main hurdle is that I want to reread my own archive (again) as a refresher, which is, uh. A lot of posts. I've developed a high standard for myself on here, and I feel like I wouldn't be doing my job right if I forgot half the ongoing subplots and character arcs and didn't bring them up in my analysis. Especially when I'm discussing the work of an author as obsessed with continuity as Ian Flynn. Unfortunately, the nature of this blog means that every time I go on another long hiatus for Life Reasons I have even more comic continuity to catch up on than last time.

(This is a big part of why I'm making Thanks Steve Ditko an extremely casual blog instead of promising to become a Lore Expert on 60+ years of Marvel.)

Mostly I've just been very burnt out this year after having finally finished a video game that took almost eight years to make. I haven't really had the energy for any creative projects, including TKP. But I feel a little bit of a spark here with Spider-Man, so I'm chasing that feeling to try to get back into the swing of blogging about comics - no pun intended.

So, basically, bear with me on this as I start this low-energy side project. But hopefully folks will enjoy Thanks Steve Ditko as its own thing, too.

Look forward to goofy shit like this

hey.

okay. hello! i'm back. :)

maybe you noticed, maybe not, but i have been away for a while.

i wish i could say i've been out living my life, so caught up in happiness and joy and loving each day that i've just not had time for tumblr. but....that is not true. i have been having a tough time! being away has been good, as i've had time to do other things that i like and to put energy into my own well-being, but it hasn't been the best time, I'll tell you that.

i peeked on the dash every now and then to keep my queue full and reblogged soothing things to my main blog and tried my best not to feel guilty about it all (i was also booping on April 1 lol). i just...I really needed a break. i've really enjoyed being here the last six or so months as i've changed my blog and entered the pedro/tlou space but i've also felt so, so alone.

and i know that it doesn't really matter!! like, we should all take breaks and go outside and all that stuff. and I know plenty of people are not very active, but this blog has been such a vital part of my life and happiness since I started it almost two years ago, so any lapse in activity feels like a loss. I've met lifelong friends and flexed my writing muscles and learned a hell of a lot. the fact that I have started to feel isolated and alone on here is a sort of personal betrayal, and there is no one to blame but myself.

So, I’m pulling back.

it means a few things — i don’t know how much writing I’ll be doing from now on. For Joel, especially — it’s been wonderful to meet folks in that community but it has also been really detrimental to my passion for both the game and writing. I’d like to return to some other characters on my masterlist, but we’ll see. I’ve got endless personal projects away from tumblr that I want to pour love and time into (my non-reader fics, my newsletter, a romance novel, a sci-fi novel, poetry, etc). I need to fall in love with my own work again.

it's a me problem, I want to stress that. i'm working on it! irl stuff has been kicking my ass. I've had a really, really hard winter and my mental health has suffered probably more than ever before. i let things I love -- like this blog -- fester and become negative and no longer being me joy. writing became stressful and difficult and I was focused on notes and interaction and looking around me and seeing success and then looking at myself and only seeing lack.

but that's why I took a break! i am getting help and support irl, i am putting in the time and effort to feel better about being alive and to be a better friend and person all around. And I want to tell you all about it because I am so grateful for your time and attention and support, even if we’re just strangers on the internet. i know this probably seems silly -- who cares about a fanfic blog? well, i care! i care a lot! it matters to me and therefore it matters!

anyway. on to the important stuff. here I am! and here's what's going to happen on this blog:

I am working on replying to asks and reblogs and comments I missed. Thank you for being patient with me! I don't know if I'll get to them all but know I see them and I am honored every single time.

I made a totally separate ao3 account with this blog url. I'm working on uploading everything I've posted here onto there and hopefully will continue to crosspost. It is going to take a long, long time, so please be patient! (you can follow my other ao3 here for my non x-reader fanfic).

I posted this fic! Jackson!Joel pulled me back into his world. It’s the first thing I’ve written in ages, so let me know what you think. as of now it's the last planned fic for that series, but who knows!

I hit a milestone while i was away that I am absolutely blown away by. I'm planning a celebration around it sometime this spring (hopefully) and I’d love to see you participate :)

lastly, thank you so much to my friends for letting me complain, whine, winge, etc. I am so sorry for missing all of your work, your celebrations, your bright energies, and all the rest. i am so sorry if it seemed like i was ignoring you. you are my guiding lights, my silver linings, my touchstones. you make me want to be here. i will try to make it up to you!

I want to be online less but make sure I’m connecting more in the moments that i am here. I want to pressure myself to write less and not feel bad that I’m not engaged all the time. I want this blog to once again feel like a place that nourishes me and not sucks me dry. i want to stop feeling like shit about all of it!!!!

so. come hang out in my inbox, my dms, let me know what you've been up to. I am really sorry for missing so much. thank you for sticking around. <3

#personal #this is very long but please read it maybe?#emma rambles #I will reblog it a few times probably

Bye to Wind and Lightning

TLDR: I AM WHINY AND IM GOING TO MOVE BLOGS TO A SMALLER ONE WHERE NOBODY KNOWS ME. EITHER @kikuneesama FOR GENERAL STUFF OR @konohamaru-sensei FOR ANIME STUFF.

Did you know that in 2020 when the pandemic held us all in a chokehold I decided to reread One Piece and Bleach, but consciously decided not to touch Naruto, as if I knew that I'd be sucked in real bad if I read it again? I was right. In 2021, I randomly thought "No, I will read it now" and then I did and boom I talked about nothing else for that summer and to channel my thoughts I made this blog right here separate from my main and not as a sideblog. I wanted to start completely over at a different place.

I had a terrible summer in 2021, constant mental breakdown. I don't want to bore you with the details because you don't care, but just being back doing the stuff I loved when I was 16 was such a blessing. I was truly happy in the first months here, especially with the discord servers and the oc talk and the friends I made. My boyfriend commented on it all the time, that I looked so very happy. And I was! But these things never stay.

The problem with me is, I want community, I want to talk headcanons and to bitch about characters I don't like and promote ships I love and cry and laugh and hug all of you for liking the same things as me and at the same time I'm terrified of rejection, of people hating me, of people spreading lies behind my back. I guess school does traumatise you in some way.

I can't survive in a cutthroat fandom like this one, I take things too personally too quickly. I don't understand that if you, a normal person with your own wishes, likes a thing I don't like or dislike a thing I like it doesn't mean you automatically hate me. You are just a different person and that is ok! It's not you. It's me. NO I'm not just saying that. It really is me.

Did you know that when I started out here I didn't tag my stuff? Especially not my OC stuff (and I still rarely tag it). The fear that someone might find it, hate on it, send me hate, make fun of it etc, sits so deep that I rather have my work not be seen at all. Yet, I need the attention to keep going because without the reblogs and likes and asks I feel like an utter failure.

My boyfriend says I am not good with the public eye on me and he is probably right. I envy those of you who can stand their ground and be self confident in their arguments. I envy those who don't care what others say, who can block and move on, who don't get a knot in their stomach when someone they had nice interactions with unfollows. I shouldn't care, but I do.

On my first tumblr blog I never looked at my followers, I never got asks either or was deep in fandom or anything, but I reblogged my stuff and posted my thoughts and was feeling good. I love tumblr, its the best social media out there for a reason. Yet, with this one, I got so self conscious about my followers, about what I can and can't say. If my presence would offend or not etc etc.

I was kinda looking forward to 1000 Followers because it is an insane number, but now at 997 I'm throwing in the towel. Isn't that like giving up before the finish line? Maybe, but I'm so tired and I want to be unknown again. I want to be nobody again. I want the naruto fandom to move on and forget I was ever here.

So I'm leaving! Sorry, I guess! At least for a good while. I might be back to finish the requests still pending on this account and then disappear again, but I don't know if I'll ever permanently come back. If you by any chance really, really really care about my presence, you can find me under @kikuneesama as a general spam blog with all sorts of things and under @konohamaru-sensei for anime-only stuff. This is also where my Naruto posting will be moving.

If you are a moot I will follow you from Kikuneesama again.

Thanks, I guess, for over two years of hanging out. I'm sorry I am such a lame loser.

One thing is for sure: Though I am moving to a blog named after Konohamaru, Kakashi will always be my love.

tschüss und auf wiedersehen, ~Nisi

PS: I'll q this a couple of times so I'm sorry if you have to see it a few times in the next few days. I swear I'll be gone after that.

the basic DNI stuffs; Racist, being mean to people and tells them to "kys" or other mean things, etc. etc.

aight, now that you's done reading the dni list, time for the other chet

it's kinda simple and also kinda messy so bare with me here

you can call me Burgy and i is girl, but any pronouns is fine

my other socials are:

Instagram (@/burgycreeper405)

Youtube (@/burgycreeper405)

and no i don't have twitter, i used to, but no, twitter is like my toxic ex, so if you see me "post" on twitter, that's not me, that's probably a person acting as me but failed miserably

• do not repost or reupload my stuff like put it in compilations and stuff, even if you credit me, do not repost/reupload my chet

• do not trace my art

• if i seem rude, that means i’m in a bad mood

• you can use my art as pfp or banners, just do not reupload/repost and or trace my stuffs

• if you dm-ed me/private message me, i won't answer it, especially if we're not even that close (unless it's for commissions then i will answer that lol) cuz either I'm awkward at starting conversations, or i just don't want to dm back, it's one of the two but it's mostly the former

• if you have questions, ask it in the ask box, it's there for a reason

• if you want to do fanart, then go ahead, no need to ask, just tag me, id love to see it

• keep in mind, i mostly have headcanons that are not the same as the popular ones cuz, not everyone will have the same hcs, shocker i know

• i don't do with popular chet so keep that in mind

• i hate shipping discourse cuz i find that stupid and a waste of time, especially when the ship they're fighting is not even that problematic as they say they are, so get that away from me cuz i don't want to deal with it

• i don't mind any ships (besides the ones on the red down below), I'm neutral with mostly any ships (again, besides the ones on the red down below), unless it's actually problematic like those age gaps and other chet? then that's a big no no for me, get that thing out of here, i don't want it

let's cut to the chase, yes, I'm fine with:

Rexmet (Rex x Emmet)

Rexmetstyle (Rex x Emmet x Lucy)

and i also ship

Microknife (Mic x Knife)

Knicropick (Knife x Mic x Pickle)

Metallic Salad (Mephone4 x Knife x Mic x Pickle)

Sort of a nuanced take so bear with me here-- I honestly think its a little weird that you obsessively post about every trans woman that happens to be poorly behaved. Not saying that Lily Orchard, Sophie Labelle, whoever this Poppy person is aren't doing bad things. It's just I don't know kind of strange that you have a blog all about documenting trans woman misbehavior as a non-binary person. Speaking as a trans woman you come off as transmisogynistic some times. I'm sorry it is. The only people who's bad behavior you post about are trans women. That's weird.

this blog started off talking about LO because i have seen evidence of her abusive/predatory actions to the point i felt worth talking about. she's the main focus.

P&Z came to the picture because they talked and responded to LO's lies about them. turns out they were abusive, as i have seen evidence myself and believed on their victims, and that felt worth talking about. especially since thanks to their videos on LO, the people who watched those and supported them deserve to know the kind of people who made them.

sophie labelle is a big name in trans/progressive spaces. massive even. i was a fan of her work and supported it fully until everything to do with using a irl toddler for lewd furry diaper art came out. i have only ever brought her up on that post in months to make an example of LO having a bigger issue with queer acceptance and usage than with pictures of irl babies being used for porn, so it was relevant.

EssenceOfThought made videos following on LO and then was unabled to continue doing them out of her own circunstances, so that clearly was relevant for this blog. she apologized to both Brittany and me in private for not telling us about that earlier and i have absolutely no ill will towards her or Levi. i'll probably not going to talk about her again in this blog except to say just that.

regarding all of them, i have never, ever, encouraged or supported any kind of harrassment, misgendering or transphobia against them. if anyone has any issue with any of them they can quietly unfollow or unsub. on my pinned post i put link to sites where you can download videos from youtube without giving anyone views if so people want it, encouraging, once again, to not go after any of these people for any reason.

i'm sorry that existing on the internet as a trans woman means being constantly demonized for merely existing. being used constantly as an example of a predator when you haven't done anything to deserve it it's incredibly tought and demorilizing. nobody deserves that. i don't blame you one bit for having a negative reaction when seeing transfemme being called out precisely for that, because so many bad people are going to use that as fuel to keep believing all transfemmes are the same and i hate that, i wish i could change it. for every transfemme that i discuss here i also met so many transfemme who were the sweetest, most considerate, smartest and kindest people that anyone can be.

but keeping quiet about these people is not an option either. it just isn't. they're bad people, dangerous people, who happen to have platforms where they have influence and power over vulnerable people, traumatized people, marginalized people who are desperate to feel safe somewhere. they're bad people because they chose to take advantage of the trust put on them, because they manipulated, lied and abused, not because they're trans women, and if i ever implied that then i'll dennounce it because that couldn't be further from the truth.

these people should never be used as any kind of example of how trans women are. they just happen to be trans. anyone using my blog or anything on it to further that narrative is no ally of mine and i'll block them whenever possible. if there's anything else you think i could do, please let me know.

Tomorrow's end of the year

This year was special to me. This was the year I entered social medias for real.

After years of telling myself that I should post my ideas, I finally took enough courage to do it, and voala, I even made friends along the way.

I don't know them enough to call them close friends, but I consider them to be. Of course I'm talking about Simple, Carleen and Shadeless.

I ain't gonna tag them (Load of bullshit, I'll do that down the line), since this is more of a letter to me, but thank you three so much for dealing with me. Granted, you haven't seen shit from me yet, but still.

I hope we continue being friends, but only time will tell this tale.

Now, to my blogs, I'm gonna leave here the statistcs of my blogs and AO3.

@tutchando74

Again, I don't know what attracted you to this AU, but you need help.

4 biggest fans: @tutchando74, @igothepanzerdivision (I can't for the life of me tag this guy), @brookiedaaroacecookie and @l0v3sickl0s3r

Yes, I like my blog's post, judge me. A thank to the three of you, even if Igothe there is kind of a fever dream.

@ask-shop-drones

Posts: 1180

By far my most famous blog. This isn't even a joke. I understand why it tracted more attention though.

Thanks to you who follows this blog. Honestly, thank you. I'm glad you liked this little joke I made.

4 biggest fans: @tutchando74, @skyblueducky, @nani-w (also can't tag you) and @paintchipstastegood

@askrealityfalls

Yeah, this one ain't a lot famous, probably cause of my drawings.

Followers: 2

I'm surprised someone follows this. Thank you a lot for this.

4 biggest fans: @tutchando74, @lentalguts-gingersnaps and @jthorpe96

Ain't even got 4. Nonetheless, thank you two for interacting with this little thing.

I'm sorry for anyone who was bothered by the tagging, but I wanted to thank you all for this. So, one last thanks everyone, and I hope you all have a great nex year, and I hope mine's great too.

Now for my AO3 account.

Even if it my account doesn't have a full year yet. Accomplished more than I thought I would, no joke. I expected that I would write things and they would get like 20 hits or something, but imagine my surprise when in around a week I got 100 hits on Split Drones. It was a surprise, and that was the first edition of Split Drones, one that doesn't exist anymore because I edited it, cause it was bad.

Hell, I even got a fanart, made by Clockwork. This is a dream come true. I even got a gift, made by InspiredDragonWriter. He decided to gift me back a very good work. Also got a related work made by Kingcrustnip.

This is insane! I'm still so happy about all of these.

I'm going to talk a little about each of my main stories here that I made this year.

Split Drone (on going)

One of my favorite stories that I have thought of. I'm happy that after the 3º chapter it got a lot more attention. And to think that it's not even close to ending.

Murder Drones Oneshots... Kind of (on going)

My most viewed fic here, for obvious reason. It's a oneshit book. Honestly, I don't like this one, but I still have to finish it. There are requests that have more than months on the waiting. The people who sent them don't even remember it anymore.

Rescue Drones (on going)

I'm glad the Twins allowed me to use their content to do my strange shit. Honestly, I really like this story, specially the world building I did with it. I just like the concept of different HQ's out there. I don't know if the Twin read that story anymore, probably not, but I'm happy that they let me use their universe to write my stories.

A walk and a discovery + We meet again brother (finished)

Two gifts for InspiredDragonWriter. I really liked his content, so I thought of making these stories. I like them, think I did a good job on doing a horror story. I hope he really did like these gifts.

Listening to music (finished)

This is just a fun idea I had. Glad some people liked it, but I don't really have any more ideas on what to do with it. I think Clockwork would have an use for this one on his musical oneshot though. Unfortunaly it's closed.

Mine (on going)

A request that turned into a full fic. Honestly, it's really fun to do it, and it gathered way more attention than I thought it would.

Downard Spiral (on going)

A side fic for Rescue Drones. I have a harder time writting in first person than in third, so the quality of this one is leagues worse than the main story, but I don't think it's that bad.

Greek HQ (on going)

This is a huge story I'm trying to tell. Hope the 10 people who read it like it. Things are going to become much worse, really fast.

Little Rescue Drones side stories

Just some fun fic ideas I have on my mind. Nothing more. Don't even know if I should make them cannon.

Brown and Son Playing (finished)

Just a fun little idea I had for these two.

Serial Designation S RP (on going)

I never expected to play a RP, specially on Tumblr. I'm glad I did though, met three pretty fun persons. It's hard to do the Rp through Tumblr, but it's very good.

Poemas (on going)

My first attempt at writting poems. It's really fun to do it, specially to talk about my culture.

Now, I saw the Twins doing this, and I really liked it. It is showing my final statistics, so I'm going to do the same. By the end of this year, my statistics were:

- User Subscriptions: 8 I'm thankful to everyone who liked my works enough to follow me on this site. I'm glad you enjoy my stuff that much.

- Kudos: 420 This is insane to me. I got this amount in less than a year. Going by dates, it's been around half a year. I'm fucking thankful to everyone who liked my stuff.

- Comment Threads: 88 That's a lot of conversation, and even if most are about the fics, I think I did make some friends here. Hope they think the same.

- Bookmarks: 56 I'm glad people liked my works enough to leave a bookamrk on them, and 56 bookmarks across all my 26 works. That's more than double.

- Subscriptions: 47 Across all my 26 fics, I got 47 subscriptions in each of them. I'm thankful to anyone who did this, trully.

- Word Count: 110,657 Honestly, why do you americans use comma to separate the decimals when most of the world uses dot? Whatever. That's an insane amount of words to me. That's more than I expected to write in all of my life, wich is funny that it turned into my hobby.

- Hits: 14,796 This is an insane number to me. 14k views on my fics. I never expected to have all of this in half a year, but I'm so glad and thankful I did.

It isn't much, but its more than I thought I would get in my first year. Well, it was fun writting everything and meeting new people here in this site.

My gratitudes goes to The_Twins_On_Internet, Kingcrustnip, LB_Clockwork, Shadow_Drone_N_Bryan78932, InspiredDragonWriter and everyone who read, kudoed, bookmarked, subscribed and commented on my fics. A huge thank you to all of you.

*Sigh…*

Hello everyone. I apologize for disappearing for a while. I know I promised to finish all the confessions and close them indefinitely, but with everything that has been going on in the past few months, I have just been reflecting a lot. After much consideration, I have made a decision:

On January 2, 2024, I am considering deleting this blog.

So with this said, I guess you might be wondering why, Well, I'll list the reasons. Been doing so for this long right?

I had been hesitant to admit it, but after some contemplation, I have come to the realization that this blog is becoming a negative experience for me. I've had to make confessions that I don't agree with and deal with anonymous hate for sharing confessions that I didn't even write. Trying to please everyone has also affected my own beliefs. Additionally, the lack of western magical girl shows has resulted in repetitive confessions. It's unfortunate, but my feelings about this blog may continue to fluctuate.

From then till now, I always said that not all the confessions made were by me, but I do admit that some of them were my own. I just want to be honest with all of you. I'm not proud of some of the confessions I made. Some aged like milk. Even though I know that I may still come across certain confessions that leave a bad taste in my mouth to this day, I just want to leave this part of my life behind me.

I have been a fan of several TV series, such as Miraculous Ladybug, She-Ra, Equestria Girls, My Little Pony, many others. However, some of the fans of these shows have given me negative experiences that I don't want to remember. Sometimes, reading these confessions reminds me of those bad experiences. Hence, I want to move on and forget about them. Nevertheless, I will cherish the good memories that these shows and their fandom have given me.

I need assurance that I won't be able to access this blog again, in case I give in to the temptation of making confessions once more. My desire is to move on and channel my energy towards other productive activities that will benefit me in my life. This has been a long-term aspiration for me, which I didn't do entirely.

I know I've said this countless times in the past, but I'll say this for the final time. I'm dealing with personal things that are just a real ongoing struggle, and I want to focus all my time and energy on them. Running this blog has started to feel like a chore, and I believe I've gotten all the satisfaction from it that I wanted.

Also, I've thought about moving on to focus on more original projects. I don't want to completely share these ideas publicly yet, but I've been having some ideas in mind.

Lastly, I'm just tired of constantly having to explain myself. I know that I don't owe anyone an explanation and I am not obligated to keep this blog active, but I did. I did it because I genuinely cared about you all and wanted to create something fun for fans of the magical girl genre. I wanted to provide a platform for others to express their feelings and thoughts without fear of being canceled. Unfortunately, I no longer want to do this…

Sorry guys for the redundant posts lol Let's just hope that this will be the last one until this blog closes (or goes inactive indefinitely). There’s no guarantee that I will delete this blog, but I’m just saying prepare for the possibility in the future. So if there’s anything that you would like to save or archive, then now’s the time to do so. I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to finish the remaining confessions in the box or not, because there's a strong possibility that I'll delete this blog anyway.

So if anyone has any thoughts or ideas or anything, feel free to say so. I have to admit, I'm going to miss this blog, but this is probably for the best.

Thanks again guys, and as always, stay magical.

Update

Hello.

This is a completely out-of-character post that I've been meaning to make for a bit now. It deals a tad with me, the human behind the blog, so if you don't want to see the personal details, the most important part is thus;

Longer threads are going to have an indefinite time before I can get to them for the foreseeable future; this could be weeks, it could be months, I do not know. Shorter threads/banter will probably only get a few replies from me. This is true for both this blog and @the-archpriest-and-the-outcast.

If you want a further explanation, keep reading, otherwise you can continue with your day.

I'll also throw this under a readmore for the sake of "I don't know how long this will be".

Hello to all who are curious or confused.

To keep things brief, I am not doing well mentally. I haven't been for months if not years and there's no way for me to improve this. I do not have access to those resources, and unfortunately my case is not considered an emergency because I am not suicidal. Nor will I ever be, for reasons that I'm not going to detail because this isn't the appropriate place for it.

This means that being creative in any venture is difficult. It basically takes me guilting myself into becoming incredibly anxious to get replies out, or just praying that the other person has forgotten about the thread completely as I move on to new ones.

But recently, with how many new blogs are on the scene, and how much happens from day-to-day, where before I thought I had the space and breathing room to have gaps between long threads, now I am feeling a new kind of guilt, and a new kind of emotion, and I'm not happy with myself for it.

I won't go into it because I don't want to traumadump on what's supposed to be a fun 40k character blog, but that's kind of the state of things.

I'm in a state where being creative is not something I feel like I can do.

So to all of those who are or have been waiting for responses from me for weeks, if not months; I'm sorry. They'll come eventually, when the anxiety and guilt kicks up again. I don't know when 'eventually' will be.

Maybe I'll be able to write tomorrow. Maybe I won't. I don't know. I haven't for a very long time.

Anyway. Sorry for traumadumping on main. Your regularly scheduled occasional reblog and banter will probably follow this post.

HELLO! I BRING TO YOU THE MAIN CHARACTER IN MY NOVEL!!

AND THAT ISSSSS

Me.

Hi everyone, I'm Ree.

I'm an ex Neet aspirant (neet = pre medical entrance exam) and at the moment I'm just writing a few other entrance exams, hoping I would get to join a nice course that I'm interested in.

I like plants, books, visual media, pinterest, food, trying to cook food, writing, drawing, reading, keyboard and also trying out random things.

On this blog, you can expect me to

post about my day in an academics point of view

rant about some event of the day (i usually remove such things once i've calmed down)

things i find interesting

Edit: I'll probably make many other "intro posts" later on in this blog's life.

Under the "keep reading" thingy, you'd find me talking more about random things..

I often (unintentionally) make things lengthy (like this intro post). I used to have a studyblr (@/ree-wantstochange) but i deleted it after a while because i was ashamed of my inconsistency and incompetence.

Initially, I was a NEET aspirant but after writing the exam i figured out i won't make it (reason: fear of tests leading to lack of practicing mock tests). My parents have made it clear to me that clearing the exam isn't something i'd be able to do, and even if i did, i'd be having breakdowns everyday while i try to digest the humongous portion of medicine.

At the moment, I just want to be productive.

What do I want to do with my life?

I haven't decided what sort of a job i want to do in future but I want to be happy doing it and while I'm at it, i want to try my best.

I'm an amateur at all my hobbies and have no preference in any of my interests. So if you have a music rec, you can send it to me and I'll listen.

I'm tagging a few of my friends here to find them again!!

@booksandlovee (didi i'm sorry i keep going and coming back) @voidsteffy (hi akka!! I'd be sending you random asks soon) @winterturtlesstuff (hi oogway i miss u sm) @manasseh (hey nas! idk if you remember me but currently, I'm learning an Indian language instead of Korean T^T)

Bye!!

hey there! thank you for stumbling upon my little corner of the internet! before you request anything and we get to party, we've gotta set some ground rules.

most of my blog is 18+ content. i don't really feel comfortable with minors hanging out around here, and i do check the profiles of people who interact with my writing. if you're a minor and interact with any of my 18+ content, i will block you. if you interact with any of my fluff/angst that doesn't include 18+ content, you'll probably just be on thin ice. i would prefer you do not follow me, though.

likes, reblogs, comments, asks, etc. are welcome! appreciated, as a matter of fact! don't worry about spamming me - it doesn't really bother me.

when i am accepting requests, i accept them through asks only. please check my main navigation post to see if i am accepting general requests (it's based on how busy my personal life is, my current motivation for writing, and if i have any ongoing fics).

i am always accepting requests for the twenty four hours universe and the coffee shop blues universe.

also, please please please keep in mind i may take a while to fulfill requests. generally speaking, my requests are closed because i don't have the time to quickly write them. my fics take priority over all, and i am an adult who juggles work and school and just generally having a life! <3

to join my taglist(s), please fill out this google form!

TAGLISTS STATUS:

♡ GHOST'S (EVERYTHING): FULL

♡ EDDIE'S: OPEN

♡ STEVE'S: OPEN

i also have a sideblog to only reblog my writing, @ghost-proofbaby-writes ♡ all events will only be reblogged on this sideblog, and will not include taglists!

— CHARACTERS I WRITE FOR:

♡ eddie munson. (stranger things) ♡ steve harrington. (stranger things) ♡ robin buckley. (stranger things)

♡ astarion ancunin. (baldur's gate 3)

♡ spencer reid. (criminal minds)

♡ joel miller. (the last of us)

as my blog and interests grow, this list may also! i'll make posts if i add any other characters/shows/movies.

— TOPICS I'M COMFORTABLE WRITING:

♡ smut ♡ angst ♡ fluff ♡ some triggering topics (i'll mention my big 'no's i can't handle, personally, below)

— WHAT I WON'T WRITE (NO EXCEPTIONS):

♡ anything regarding romantic pairings with the children of stranger things. (or any show/content i write for). they may show up in my writing, but only as background characters. they're minors - i'm an adult. it just feels weird. ♡ rape/noncon. mentions of someone having a past with this may be the only exception, but i will not be writing any descriptive scenes including it. ♡ CNC (consensual-nonconsensual). another one where i'm not kink shaming! just triggering. i avoid reading most of the time, and definitely avoid writing. sorry. ♡ graphic descriptions of self-harm. especially cutting. again, mentions of someone having a past with this one/mentions of scars is fine, but a hard limit is writing a scene of this happening. i've written it in the past, and all it does is trigger.

if i think of anything else, i'll add it to the list.

alright! if you've read through all of this, thank you, ily. let's get to partying. ♡

Hello to a bunch of my new followers! My name is Trinity and I'd like to run through some of what my blog supports, my opinions, and other stuff. Feel free to message me anytime or you can lurk like the little goblins you are >:)

I reblog a lot of art, comics, and memes. I like to interpret canon by analysing specific choices on a timeline based on the end outcome. Basically that means I believe a character is canonically horrible, nice, cute, a killer, a saviour, etc. all simutaneously. If you have a take, I probably have evidence to support it even if I don't like it LMAO

My favourite character is Connor because he (apart from Hank) is the only character with strong internal conflict (and I go feral over characters with internal conflict). I enjoy Rose and Adam's interpersonal conflicts with each other, I love Hank and Connor's interpersonal conflict (probably for the same reasons as everyone else: it's funny af), and I found the relationship development between North and Markus rushed and disappointing.

I don't really hardcore romantic-ship anything, but I enjoy a bit of simarkus, and mainly reed900. Reed900 is so, so horrible that it makes me laugh. Make android-racist kiss the upgraded version of the android he hates most. A well-deserved punishment lmaooooo 💀 Also I love the fanon dynamics it's too good.

I like to ship Hank and Connor as father and son because that's such a vibe to me!!! Most of the time, hankcon makes me uncomfortable because of this, but I'm vibing and it's okay if you like to interpret their relationship the romantic way. (Multiple timeline brain, after all^.) I keep the hankcon hashtag hidden but sometimes I sneak a peak hoping it's a funny comic alskdhskjdhd I used to get jumpscared by hankcon because I interpret them as father and son, but nowadays I look at it and go "ah yes, not My timeline" and travel back through the wormhole whence I came 🥴 I can still appreciate some of the art tho!! Btw I'm chill if you tag my some of my stuff as hankcon I don't care 💅

I like to see the RKs as brothers in one universe, but I don't mind the RK ships in another universe. These ships are like a true neutral for me, but the brothers is preferred :) I think I just like family dynamics lmao

I dislike the main fanon interpretations of Sixty, but I do love the memes of him being a dumbass. I like memes of any character being a dumbass. It makes my dumb ass feel less of a dumb. Also it's funny

I REALLY love meta and analysis. I soak that up like a sponge. I love when people throw essays at me or a ramble comes across my feed. I love it so much. Analyse the symbolism!!! Do it do it!!! I will lick the screen like an RK800 I don't care I am Normal about proper good analysis.

I don't really read much fic and if I say I'm going to read something, give me about 1 business month. (I'm not exaggerating I'm so sorry.) I'm more of a content creator than consumer, so I spend my free time making stuff and then I consume when my brain needs to chill out or the guilt gets too strong.

You can find all the stuff I create on my pinned content master post. <3

Once again, feel free to message me or throw me posts but if there is one thing that tops it all: If you find any content of Connor suffering, I require it to live. That's my oxygen. If Connor is reduced to nothing but his entrails on a table and a CPU propped up on a stand, I will be so happy LOL sorry Connor. Get shot homie

Bonus: The PM700 is cool as hell and I have a blondman crush on the WR600 who gave Kara directions to Zlatko's 💀👌

Bonus bonus: Mega crush on Connor too!!! Also I love Zlatko's monsters ok I'll shut up now

Even More Everyone Lives AU Character Stuff: Security Breach + Ruin

Now we're getting to the real beef of the AU!

Not as important, but inbetween FNaF 6 and Security Breach Michael does manage to get other bands of Fazbear animatronics to his house (don't ask me how he keeps them all, this AU was based on ask blog nostalgia and I'm not about to fill the plothole of how they all stay mostly unnoticed by the public). Altogether, the animatronics he has at his house are:

The Classics (including Golden Freddy/Fredbear)

The Toys

Technically he has Springbonnie if we're counting William as a burnt Scraptrap in the basement

The Funtimes

The Rockstars (minus Rockstar Freddy who fucking died in the FNaF 6 fire due to overheating)

Probably some of the other FNaF 6 animatronics (not Candy Cadet though as they stay in Ruin, I'm not sure which of them are absolutely destroyed by the fire and which are able to be brought back)

Groups that are debatably there:

The Nightmares (Evan probably still sees them, Michael sometimes ends up being in the same dream as him due to ghost shenanigans)

Not at the house:

The Phantoms (they're hallucinations here, as much as I love their designs)

Really I just added that for context as to what the newer characters are getting into, so there's actual scale as to the chaos that can happen. But if you do want to know about any of them just ask me about them (honestly I could probably talk about a lot of them)

Anyways

EXTRA: Since this is characters that span both the base game Security Breach AND the Ruin DLC, I'll do color coding for everything here: red for pre/during Security Breach base game, and yellow for post-Security Breach.

Vanessa

Okay, obvious stuff here: Help Wanted beta tester, Glitchtrap (as much as I hate it he's not William in this AU), Vanny, Princess Quest ending leaves her free at the end. The stuff we all know.

Instead of her actual Security Breach characterization, I use the scrapped voicelines that make it seem like she actually cares for Gregory and is trying to keep him safe. It lines up with her Special Delivery characterization of her being a bit paranoid and leads up to what was originally the main catalyst of the AU (which later became the FNaF 6 fire after deciding to look backwards in the timeline).

She knows Michael as just Mike (he's gone through a few identities in his attempts to not be suspiciously young for years on end), probably as a general friend.

So when Vanessa's suddenly free from Glitchtrap AND has a kid who doesn't have a home, she panics. Gregory can't come home with her, as she basically just lost her job and wouldn't be financially stable. Plus her apartment really was for just her. And she's paranoid that she not ACTUALLY free and he's just waiting for the right moment to control her again and kill Gregory for good. As such, she asks Mike if he can take the kid while she gets back on her feet. He accepts and that's how Gregory ends up at Michael's house.

Don't worry though, she still visits pretty often. Mike just uses a bunch of extra air freshener in/near the basement so Vanessa doesn't know he's technically hiding a corpse down there.

Gregory

He's an actual human child. Sorry aggressively-GregBot people (meaning the people who are assholes about it, if you believe it but don't harass others about it I'm still chill), I'm not putting that in my AU.

GGY happened, but not as it did in Tales From The Pizzaplex. I'll put a shortened version here as it directly connects to Security Breach. I merged The Storyteller and GGY so Gregory's actual purpose was to clear the way to Glitchtrap infecting the Pizzaplex systems (the people he did kill such as in the therapy tapes), eventually leading to him breaking in and directly putting Glitchtrap into the systems. If he was still loyal, that would be great. If this freed him, Glitchtrap would just have Vanny kill him. Gregory ends up being freed because Glitchtrap left him behind, and he has amnesia from the time he was controlled. He may have been the wizard's favored apprentice, but he was still only going to be useful for a little while. (Glitchtrap fucking with the systems also caused Glamrock Freddy's systems to crash, since there's no one possessing him in this AU). And Security Breach is directly after.

Post-Security Breach, he stays with Vanessa for part of the day before being told he's staying elsewhere until she gets her life sorted out. Gregory's at least allowed to keep Freddy's head with him (mostly for comfort so he's not at a completely new house with a guy he doesn't know alone) as well as bring his stuff.

Mike did explain to him the fact that he does have a bunch of animatronics in his house, but what Gregory wasn't expecting was that a nosy Funtime Foxy would punch a hole in the door to see who "Eggs" was talking to (the Funtimes no longer have the child murder programming in them so he's safe: Mike at least figured out how to get rid of that so he wouldn't have to worry about any local children being found dead in his place).

Mike also told him about the fact the house is haunted. But it's not like ghosts actually exist, right?

Well turns out some of the oddly specific nightmares he's had since coming to this house were because of ghosts (he saw some of Evan's memories from while he was alive, such as being locked in parts and service and being bullied by a kid in a Foxy mask who looks suspiciously like a younger Mike). Gregory figures this out when he wakes up in the middle of the night feeling a bit cold and Evan's sitting on the foot of the bed.

Long story short, he does some digging on Mike and Michael comes clean about all the supernatural stuff and the history of Fazbear Entertainment. So Gregory just has to deal with the fact that the place he's in is full of ghosts and robots, that his current caretaker was a zombie for some time, and that way more children died because of this company than there were rumored to.

He didn't drop the elevator in Ruin, and if he weren't found crying over a walkie-talkie then no one in the house would have found out Cassie was even in the Pizzaplex (Michael basically brings the Funtimes and a few other characters there as part of a search and rescue mission for both Cassie and the animatronics).

He's not happy to see the shattered Glamrocks again. Gregory doesn't hate them, but he's definitely nervous they're just going to kill him out of vengeful spite. Especially Roxy.

He did get scratched by Glamrock Freddy's headless body, since he thought he could safely approach it.

Lastly, he can only see the ghosts at night.

Glamrock Freddy

Glamrock Fronnie is ABSOLUTELY canon to this AU. It's already meant to be self-indulgent, so why would I not add this?

He's almost completely oblivious to the problems around the Pizzaplex. He sometimes notices things but shrugs them off. It wasn't until Gregory showed up that he started to see all the cracks in the place he lives in.

He's shocked to find out the history of Fazbear Entertainment. Freddy was basically gaslit into thinking that that has always been a safe place for kids, and now he's found out it never was.

Unlike Gregory, he can see the ghosts all the time. It's a mix of it being a robot thing and being made with some reused parts with the soul juice in them (a trait shared with really all the Glamrocks).

Meeting the previous iterations of Freddy was really fun for him: Classic Freddy was surprised there even were any more Freddys, Toy Freddy was glad to see an 80s throwback, Funtime Freddy didn't talk much (they both have had kids in their stomach hatches for very different purposes and Funtime Freddy was not about to talk about that), and the Rockstars really just edged around their missing bandmate.

Should've added this in the Gregory section, but he never got upgrades except for the battery one. Basically Gregory saw the duffel bag messages and thought that the other Glamrocks' upgrades caused their erratic/aggressive behavior, so he thought that getting rid of them would fix this situation. So he held onto the parts. When everyone gets repairs it's actually replicas of the originals (Michael doesn't know if Gregory was right but he's not about to take a risk).

His headless body tried to set Mike's house on fire. Glamrock Freddy was not expecting to have to tell everyone he had a built-in lighter, but here we are.

Glamrock Bonnie

If I remember something I saw right, Glamrock Bonnie uses he/they pronouns. I'll try to keep up on that. (I actually had to look up how to use he/they pronouns in sentences, being raised in a religious family makes it a bit hard for me to understand some pronoun sets at first but I think I got it)

I already mentioned Glamrock Fronnie being canon, so let's talk parenting styles instead since he inevitably meets Gregory and finds out that Glamrock Freddy basically adopted him. So if Glamrock Freddy's the dad who would at least set some rules to make sure there's minimal chaos, then Glamrock Bonnie's the dad who would help bend those rules if they thought the reason Gregory wanted to break them was funny.

Instead of having claws, he can flick open his finger (think Freddy with his lighter) since there's a guitar pick hidden in there. Just a little thing I thought of since their model in Ruin doesn't have the bassist claws.

So I wanted to think about the reason Bonnie's where he is in Ruin. There's the Monty murder theory, but I like Monty and this is my self-indulgent AU so he's not fully at fault. At the same time, though, Bonnie has those scratch marks on them and Monty did have claws to some degree even before his upgrade. Then I thought "wait if it were an accident Monty caused that resulted in this then he would parallel Michael" and it just stuck. I'll go over that in more detail in Monty's section.

Being a collective of wet floor signs was not fun for him. Especially since trying to lead people to where they were hidden so he could be repaired would just mean the little bot is picked up and placed back down where it's supposed to be.

During the events of Security Breach, they were pretty much completely unconscious. Being a digital ghost in the machine while something has hacked the systems is not a good mix.

He wasn't found by Cassie during Ruin, but when the search and rescue team Michael set up searched the Pizzaplex Glamrock Bonnie was found. That's when he saw that Funtime Foxy insisting that Lolbit should be brought along on a USB (or something else similar) actually might have had a point.

While his physical body was being repaired, they became very acquainted with Lolbit since they were essentially roommates during that time. Glamrock Bonnie wishes to never have to be in a computer again.

Meeting the other Bonnies was something else, since almost every single Bonnie considers each other a sibling. He was almost instantly brought into the sibling group.

Glamrock Chica

She shared pizza with a rat in her greenroom once and now she has a rat friend named Remy. Glamrock Chica would have a rat army by the end of Ruin if I weren't trying to keep this AU semi-serious.

Similar to the other Glamrocks, she only really developed her garbage-eating issue after Glamrock Bonnie vanished.

She used ASL to communicate post-shattering, although that started to become a challenge once Roxy was blinded. Monty was able to translate it into audible words for her so everyone was able to understand each other.

She doesn't have the same guitar pick finger gimmick as Bonnie, and when she was switched from vocals to electric guitar (because Fazbear Ent. fucked the voice box upgrade) Glamrock Chica instead stores her guitar pick as either a ring or in some part of one of her earrings.

She stayed with Roxy during the post-Security Breach pre-Ruin time period, acting as her eyes.

When found by the search and rescue team, she's a bit surprised to see a completely new face, especially when it comes to animatronics (specifically, she meets Ballora who is doing her usual spider crawl to get around since it's much more practical around here).

Meeting the rest of the Chicas was mostly pleasant. The exception was Toy Chica, who made an amazing first impression by showing she could remove her beak and throw it at a spider with the accuracy of a professional darts player.

Roxy

If this is already canon-divergent, then me having Roxy as Foxy after transition shouldn't be a problem right? Like they were about to scrap the cowboy Foxy to make room for Roxanne and they were just like "you know I've always felt like I should be a girl" so Fazbear Ent. said that they'd let them remember being Foxy if she didn't tell anyone else about it. So yeah transfem Roxy.

She used her ability to see through walls as entertainment for a bit, but after seeing one too many things she wished she could unsee she stopped.

Her image issues and low self-esteem came after Glamrock Bonnie went away.

If she had the resources to, she would be into spray painting and would absolutely vandalize the entire back wall of the Pizzaplex. She'd do this after every one of the teenagers she invited to do this with her took an oath of silence.

Her theme song for post-Security Breach is Curses by The Crane Wives. You can't convince me it doesn't fit her.

During the search and rescue mission, Funtime Foxy found her nearly completely beheaded. So he just had to carry both her and Cassie at once before she handed off Roxy to Circus Baby.

Since the entirety of her face had to be completely remade, Roxy was at least given her eyes first and had either a mask or bandages covering her exposed endoskeleton face in the meantime. She also had a makeshift animatronic neck brace (cone of shame cone of shame cone of shame).

The transfem part came out when she finally was able to tell her bandmates without the threat of completely leaving part of herself behind. No one exactly believed this until she managed to actually lasso Glamrock Freddy's head off his body again.

She was honestly shocked with how many of the older versions of Foxy were not cis. Mangle and Funtime Foxy obviously aren't, but every one of them just going "yeah we had everyone debating whether we were boys or girls" was unexpected.

Monty

Remember the thing I said about Monty being a bit of a Mike parallel in this AU in Glamrock Bonnie's section? Yeah, here's the detailed version. The two were sparring on the catwalks above Monty Golf (this is a usual thing for them) and Bonnie went over the edge. Turns out the rabbit isn't as sturdy as Monty and he goes catatonic. So he feels like he has to hide the body out of fear he'd get decommissioned if anyone found out. The guilt and actually witnessing that gave him the anger issues.

Instead of the lightning bolt on his face, he has some scales resembling a band-aid on his nose bridge.

He's actually the youngest of the Glamrocks. While I don't try to assign ages to the robots most of the time, I proportion him like I would while drawing someone who's 19. Monty's a bit short too.

In Ruin, Monty attacks more out of paranoia. Last time a kid showed up he got cut in half so what's this one going to take from him?

Being electrocuted didn't kill him, but overcharged him for a while before the search and rescue team showed up. He's actually the reason they ended up finding Bonnie, because Monty figured out no one else found him. So they just followed the legless gator to Bonnie Bowl.

Since Monty's an only child on the terms of older models, he basically got adopted by the Bonnies (mostly because both him and Glamrock Bonnie played the bass, so they were technically the closest).

Daycare Attendant

Normally I'd color code these by which of them it is, but almost all of these are already color coded by when they happen so I'll just put Sun, Moon, and Eclipse all in each bullet point. Also, it's mostly fun headcanons, deal with it.

Sun can't cook worth shit, Eclipse does a decent job, Moon could make pancakes in pitch darkness with no problem. I'm not leaving my silly cooking skill headcanon out of this.

Eclipse can come out without a reboot, but it's only in emergency situations as a failsafe. This has not actually happened much despite this being Fazbear Entertainment we're talking about.

They're 7 feet tall, near exactly the height of Circus Baby. Imagine walking into the daycare and seeing that tall guy watching over everyone.

Very rarely, Moon will get bored and teach the few kids still awake at nap time swear words in ASL. When the lights come back on it drives Sun absolutely crazy.

As the lights went out one by one after the Pizzaplex was abandoned, Sun would try to generally avoid the dark. Eventually they just all went out which is how we end up at Ruin.

Eclipse was a problem child for the search and rescue team to catch. We know they can "fly" through a series of cables, now imagine Moon's general playfulness when it comes to using them and Sun's lack of understanding in this situation. They had to basically say that everyone else was leaving to get them to come back down.

Cassie

Her home life is way better than the Afton kids, but that's not much to say at all since her mom is absent and her dad isn't home often. At least her dad makes sure she gets what she needs every day.

She and Gregory were friends before Gregory abruptly vanished (GGY stuff). Cassie was one of the few things Gregory remembered from before that.

She gave Glamrock Chica her voice box back in Ruin (since she happened to get access to it).

The first thing she saw after waking up at Michael's house (they were heavily considering bringing her straight to the hospital, but then they'd have to explain they were breaking and entering into an abandoned building specifically because they knew she was in there plus they had all the animatronics with them) was Mangle on the ceiling saying it's "never seen a broken child before". Considering Mangle is near always a twisting mishmash of animatronic parts, that was one hell of a wake up call.

Her and Gregory are not meshing well together after the elevator fell.

She sees the ghosts all the time. Turns out nearly dying is a very good way to get acquainted with the supernatural.

Not canon to the AU, but I was heavily considering Cassie dying. But seeing as we already have enough dead kids as is it'll probably be a splitoff (unless Cassie is revealed to have died in canon).

The Mimic

Not much to say here except that during the search and rescue mission Funtime Freddy decided to play a game to see if it was smart enough to figure out it was getting trolled. He'd listen for the Mimic to say something, then repeat it back in a different voice. It didn't catch on and got recaptured somewhere, and that's how everyone got out of that hellhole safely.

------

Bonus Mangle Section

Mangle isn't part of the Security Breach era of FNaF, but becomes somewhat of a major character in this AU through personality in a way. So why not take a little bit to focus on it?

Mangle uses it/its or they/them pronouns, whichever the person referring to it is most comfortable with using for another person (it does prefer it/its though).

Michael couldn't find all of its parts and just put it in a room with a bunch of endoskeletons and said "go nuts". He regretted this when Mangle left that room looking like it came straight out of Human Centipede and scared the hell out of Evan.

It's basically siblings with Funtime Foxy, Lolbit, and later Roxy. Mangle is also really close with Toy Bonnie.

It tried taking the head off an endo-02 and putting Glamrock Freddy's head on it so he could walk around on his own, but it didn't work. It was disappointed because that meant most of the endoskeleton wasn't compatible with older models and it couldn't use any Glamrock endos it might find for itself :(

It gave Roxy a bit of a scare after she complained about getting completely fucked up, saying "Honey, you haven't seen shit yet" from the ceiling. It's very good at that.

How the FUCK did I get this out in time for the FNaF 6 anniversary on accident

I’m so genuinely intrigued and curious abt that post you made abt reaching out to the authors when you find a paper you want to read bc.. how are you finding these papers in the first place?? Do they show up on your tiktok fyp?? Do you just search up whatever topic you wanna read about on google scholar? I think that that’s really cool that you do that and I also would like to read about research that like actually interests me and not just papers assigned in class but I dunno where I would start looking for them. Sorry this ask is probably so random but do you have any tips?? lmao 😭

WHAT a fun question!!! of course i have tips!!!

first of all....free urself from the tiktok fyp i am begging u <3 like. ok i am sure there are people on there who are sharing academic articles and such but....more often with tiktok at least in my experience u just end up getting stuck in an endless scroll rather than actually following up on any interesting reading/research suggestions. also i think it is just like. a valuable and enriching skill to be able to think of things on ur own that u want to learn about and then go and find resources urself! like. approach tiktok w caution perhaps it could be helpful for some but i worry a bit that we are all becoming a little too reliant on algorithms to feed us Content, y'know?

anyway! as for how i find papers 2 read that interest me! most often it is a matter of finding something that sparks my interest + then going down a rabbit hole. and there are soooooo many ways to do this!! the internet is an amazing resource!!!! here is a list of some ways that i find interesting articles:

tumblr <3 lol i follow various blogs that post interesting stuff abt theory + academia every so often, and if i see a quote that interests me i'll go and try to find the article it came from! (you could also use tiktok this way if you've found some good people to follow! my main hesitation w tiktok is just that. it's an endless scroll + an algorithm which are both 2 things that i find distracting, and why i prefer tumblr)

substack - same kinda deal as tumblr; i subscribe to bloggers who write about topics that interest me and if they cite research in their posts i'll go try to find that research to read it myself

news articles/blog posts/essays that i come across online - again, if there's some interesting research cited, i'll go and try to find it

search by writer - if you keep hearing about an academic or someone suggests "oh read some so-and-so," go and look up so-and-so and see what they've written + what u can find online for free! most really famous/influential academics will have some free pdfs of their more influential work floating around online, and for smaller/niche academics--email them!

along the same lines - if u find an article or essay or speech by an academic and u like it, go find their biography page on the website of whatever school they teach at! schools will usually list professors' work, or at least a few examples, and you can find more stuff to read from that same person whose article you enjoyed. this is especially helpful if ur researching something kinda niche

wikipedia! people shit on wikipedia all the time as if it's not a "real source" but that's simply false! wikipedia is a great jumping-off point if you're interested in a broad topic but don't know where to start. go scroll through the wikipedia article about said topic and see what's cited there to get an idea of where you might be able to find some interesting articles/research to narrow ur focus!

look through the bibliography/citations on other research! if ur reading a book or article on an interesting topic + want to learn more, actually take a minute to scan through the citations and see if any titles catch ur eye!

ask people for recommendations! if u have an old/current professor or a friend or something who u know is interested in the same topic as u, ask if they have any reading recommendations!

if ur a university student--take advantage of that shit!!! look thru the papers on ur syllabus and scan the citations of the most interesting ones for further reading or go look up the writers u like best from the course to find more stuff they've written! look at the class listings for classes u aren't taking and if ur interested, ask those professors if they'd be willing to share their reading lists with you! keep an eye out for free lectures or events on new topics that interest you as a jumping-off point for finding new things to learn about! ask ur friends in other majors what they're learning about and go look it up if it interests you!

go to the library and look through the nonfiction section for topics ur interested in; check out books with cool titles! if they're boring, u can just return them

go to thrift stores or used bookstores and do the same thing! look for nonfiction books with interesting titles! i loooooooooove love love love looking through gender studies sections of bookstores for nonfiction--and then if i find a book i like, guess what that book's gonna cite?? more articles + books!!!!!! there is so much research + knowledge in the world just waiting to be shared!!!!

anyway. these are just some ways that i have found interesting new things to learn about! it sounds like u are currently a student--and like, trust me, i get that when ur constantly being assigned readings for classes it can just become a drag. but college is an AMAZING resource; i still go back and reference old notes from school to find research that i'm interested in, and some of my classes introduced me to articles that i still return to + cite today. research can be so so so fun + rewarding when ur just doing it for the joy of learning; the key really is to treat it like a little spiderweb. maybe most of ur assignments are boring, but this one article for class was really interesting and u actually find urself wanting to learn more--look at the research that article cited! google the names of the writers to see what else they've written! ask ur prof if they have any more suggestions similar to that article! the possibilities are endless!!

+ if ur a student, ur institution probably has access to a whole bunch of research databases where u can find articles + books for free, which is amaaaaaaaazing take advantage of that shit. but i am not currently a student, so my process for finding articles usually goes:

google + see if a free pdf magically pops up (happens more often than you'd think honestly)

failing that -- if it's a book, i check the online collection at my library + also on openlibrary and project gutenberg and zlibrary; for articles i usually check library genesis (sometimes i look for books here too) or sci-hub (usually works best if you search by doi)

failing that -- if it's an article, i go hunt down the email address of whoever wrote it and email them to ask for access! for books, if you really really want to read it you can usually put in a request at your local library for them to get it, but sometimes i do just have to give up if i can't find a book for free online anywhere :(

hopefully some of this was helpful !! and if ur looking for nonfiction book recs i have a post here with some stuff i've read over the past year or two and i also have a post here with like...some suggestions for intro gender studies/queer theory reading (mostly articles)!

#ask #this got really long sorry lmao #i just. love researching! and looking things up! and reading about them!#learning can be sooooooooo fun guys i know school kinda sucks the joy out of it a lot of the time but. it's soooooo fun trust me #and i also personally just. really feel a sense of accomplishment when i'm seeking something out + reading + thinking about it myself #as opposed to just like. only ever letting other people summarize stuff for me #which i think kinda happens if ur only engaging with theory through like....social media + not ever actually reading it urself #summarizing is good and helpful sometimes!! it's just not enough on its own if u wanna learn abt a topic in-depth
