does this mean henry made the fnaf games to push William more to being the villain. and then made a Movie based on those game?

Just “Helping” A “Friend”

Henry’s been long-conning William for a while. Commissioning the video games was the final cherry on top at the end of a years of constructing a paper trail. (Also, the movie isn’t canon and doesn’t get made in this AU, though Henry probably tried.)

R.O.B.'s Back in Mario Kart… BUT AT WHAT COST?!! by Mast3r-Rainb0w

R.O.B. is back in Mario Kart World since the DS days, but not in the way you'd expect! Turns out instead of being a playable character, he's now a RIDEABLE bike. Talk about bittersweet... Anyways, have some fanart with a "The Godfather" reference, featuring the professor(s) from the NES games Gyromite/Stack-Up!

You’ve been a very naughty little fucking thing, Machine.

You killed... a lot. Pretty much everybody. Pretty much everybody you encountered, you killed.

That is why, with extreme prejudice, I sentence you to gay baby jail.

May you rust in there forevermore.

The Doctor

I know The Founders Cut, generally, is the edited scrubbed over version of genloss from Showfall in-universe (as well as a not-8-hour-long-three-stream-binge-night whenever we want to watch it again) but something that struck me as odd and I haven’t seen anyone mention yet, is this warning

It shows up right at the junction where the third act starts, where it appears the Hero is breaking free of Showfall thanks to Hetch. But here’s the thing, while a LOT less than the previous acts the audience still played a significant role in this act, even when really only given two audience interaction choices. Which makes me wonder, how real is this warning, and who is it for? Obviously the audience involved knows what happens past this point, but the audience is also implied to be an integral part of the Social Experiments, which is part of why things start to tweak out when the Founder removes them in the Founder Cut as the Generation Loss generation loses.

My first thought, was that obviously this is another bait and switch, a way to draw the audiences attention, seeing something that’s secret, something that’s not “meant for them”, which is a tactic I could see Showfall using in universe to keep people’s attention and add an air of mystery to their shows.

But

Showfall is doing all their experiments and these shows with a LOT of help from their censors to show it off, displaying a fun silly show that is definitely not uber fucked up and that is 100% just slime don’t worry about it, it’s kid friendly if it’s green! And I don’t think they’d want to bet all their cards on this one experiment doing well enough to their audience to not question the sudden shift in tone that follows this warning. Which makes me wonder.

They did their test, they did their experiment, and the evidence of this last act? I think it was a one time run, they don’t want anyone seeing this, it isn’t for the audience. Act three is specifically to both test and play with their Hero, Hetch’s new lines add a level to this, never once does he call the Hero by their name, just refers to Ranboo as their Role, and he’s not exactly. Nice? About literally any of Ranboos concerns, which wouldn’t really seem conductive to making an audience trust him, especially with his monologue at the end. Ranboo has escaped before, possibly right before act 1 started, they tightened the security on his mask to be unremovably part of them, Hetch doesn’t like the Hero but they’re a fan favorite so he can’t just get rid of them.

Act three is the cumulation of Ranboo being punished for things they don’t remember, for daring to break free from Showfalls control, this is Hetch taking the Hero and essentially majorly fucking and manipulating them to take his frustration out on a fan favorite they can’t otherwise get rid of or give a smaller role like Slimecicle. which is exemplified by the fact that we now know Charlie most likely was never able to actually able to fully snap out of the control, that even in act three in panic and confusion there was at least still a part of him being influenced by Showfall.

So the first two acts are the usual show, they have their posters, they have Squiggles to introduce them, they have goofs and silliness and only a couple slip ups that’re quickly dealt with, the usual rose tinted curtains. Act three?

Here you go gay people on my phone. Gay robot flirting.

Hannah was having a good time at the beach party. There was an open bar, good food, and music. Her friend Nat had run off with a few boys, which was good for her but… Hannah and Nat didn’t share a type is all. And Nat had been the only person she'd known here. So she sat on a towel nursing a margarita and deciding if it was time to leave.

It was a hard choice to make, she'd bought a new swimsuit for the party, and the sun was only now setting. The beach sand was soft and there were plenty of pretty women to watch dance. So she sipped her drink in peace.

As she shamelessly watched the dancers one caught her eye. It took a moment for an opening in the crowd to give her a good view. She'd first thought they'd had an artificial limb or two, something that was getting more popular nowadays, but after a shuffle in the dance put the person in clear view she saw otherwise. A white-plated robot, distinctly feminine in appearance with a sleek boxy head and a pink visor. The robot wore a two piece swimsuit, black hip skirt and a one shoulder top. A black petaled flower was tucked into one of two antennae on the side of her head.

Hannah watched the robot in fascination. When had she arrived? The others on the dance floor didn’t seem put off by her. The robot danced with the rest of the party goers, swapping partners once and a while as she drifted in and out of the crowd. Hannah didn’t even consider that she'd been staring until a new song came on. The robot glanced her way, and though she had no face to see with, it was clear she was aware of Hannah's looking.

Hannah tried to play it off, sipping her drink and looking elsewhere, but it seems she'd caught the attention of the robot. The new song demanded swaying hips and the robot did not disappoint. Hannah once again stared, perhaps a bit more blatantly this time. Subtlety had sailed. That said, a mild panic struck as the robot slipped from the crowd and walked towards her.

“It's generally rude to stare at a girl when she dances,” the robot said as she stood in front of Hannah, one hand on her hip. “You can apologize by letting me sit with you here.” The robot had a stilted way of speaking, not emotionless but lacking any clear indicators. But there were infections, slight but present.

Hannah nodded, scooting over slightly to make room. “Yeah, make yourself at home. Sorry for staring.”

The robot sat with a thump. “It's alright, I wouldn't be dancing like that if I didn’t want to be looked at.” She leaned over slightly, allowing Hannah to hear the soft hum of her fans. “I'm T4-1, but you can call me Tai.”

“Hannah. It's nice to meet you Tai. Forgive me asking, but isn't a beach party a bit of an odd place for a robot? Ya know water and sand.”

Tai shrugged. “Perhaps, but I am waterproof. No, it was mostly an excuse to wear this.” She tugged on the bottom band of her top. ���Sand is a problem, but less of one than you'd think. Did you come here with someone, Hannah?”

“Yeah, but she ditched me to go off with some guy.”

“What? Left you here alone?”

“Yep. Considering leaving early.”

Tai sounded a shocked note. “Well that won't do. Pretty girls shouldn't be left alone at parties.” She stood, holding her hand out to Hannah.

Pretty? Hannah grinned and took Tai's hand. Dancing with a robot would be novel. Tai led her towards the other dancers. Several songs later Hannah was winded and laughing. They retreated back to the towel she'd brought, but this time they faced the waves and surf.

“Don't know why you weren't dancing. You're pretty good,” Tai said.

“It's easier with someone to dance with.” Hannah smiled as she studied Tais visor.

“Aw well you're sweet.” She paused for a moment. “You didn't seem interested in anyone else there. Why's that?”

Hannah flushed. “Ah well, I've never danced with a robot is all. New experiences.”

“Ah you're a fan of new experiences?” Tai placed a metal hand on Hannah's thigh, causing her to flinch slightly.

“Well, yes. That's what I said didnt I?” It was what she'd said. She did mean it. The robot next to her was a new experience. Hannah leaned in, placing her own hand on Tai's metallic thigh. Cold metal.

“Watch your fingers.” Tai said as she matched the lean, the soft tickle of air from the fans in her chest brushing against skin.

Hannah pulled her hand back, but was surprised when Tai caught her by the wrist. “Sorry I-”

“I said watch your fingers, not move your hand. Im a dreadful pinch hazard if you're not careful.” Tai placed Hannah's hand further up onto Tai's hip.

“I see,” Hannah whispered. In the heat of the moment she leaned in and planted a kiss on the robots visor. She was satisfied with the surprised beep she got in response.
