yandere android foxy: “playmate”

content warnings: android (humanoid-robot) foxy, robot x human relationships, stalking, yandere, kidnapping, GN reader

Two months ago, they promised you that the job would be relatively easy and straightforward, that it was completely safe and effortless, that it would be easy money. Two months ago, you were promised a forever job, with high pay and minimum effort.

“Oh, yeah, this one’s a breeze.” He’d said. “Watch the animatronics, make sure they stay in place and don’t get stolen or something, and keep the place clean. Basically, sit in your chair and watch the cameras, yeah?”

What he failed to tell you was that the animatronics, or androids, rather, weren’t just some stationary object that followed basic lines of code. No, he conveniently forgot to bring up that they had minds of their owns, that they’d taken lives that were swept under the rug by corporate, that they were capable of violence, emotion, causing tragedy and suffering.

Your mind is in shambles as you stare at the security camera footage, eyes squinting to get a better look at what should certainly be your mind playing tricks on you. But, as you rub your eyes, it becomes clear that what you’re seeing isn’t a trick at all.

Foxy, residing in Pirate Cove, one of the main attractions in the Pizzaplex, isn’t in his typical position. Instead, he’s casually walking toward the camera that’s pointed at him, making your heart race with each slow step he takes.

He tilts his head and leans in, the camera shaking as he reaches for it, tapping the lens with a hooked hand before the reception cuts out, leaving his area on your security cameras as a static screen.

You don’t have time to reflect, because shortly after, there’s a tapping at the left side door of your office. Naturally, you flinch and get to your feet, sliding a hand over the desk in search of anything to defend yourself. You grab on to a security baton, one of the few things this crummy job had given you, and hold it at your side defensively.

It’s fruitless, because when he wants to get in, he does so effortlessly. He slams his hooked hand against the glass window of the door, reaching down to unlock the door for himself. He pushes the door open and walks in, brushing the glass off his hook.

“Mighty fine security you’ve got yerself there.” He comments slyly, raising his head and meeting your eyes. You can’t help the shiver that runs down your spine at the sight of his narrowed eyes, one covered by an eyepatch, and the scratches on his body from being out of commission for so long. “Yer’ always just strain’ at those monitors with a tired look, nice to see a new expression on ya.”

“What the hell?” You murmur, gripping the baton. Foxy’s eyes dart to the weapon in your hand, then back to your face.

“Why so panicked? I ain’t gonna hurt ya.” He raises his hands, or lack there of, in protest. “Been outta commission for a time now, y’know? Been watching ya watch those cameras the last month, looked rightly bored.”

You scan his metallic face for signs of malice or instability, but find nothing. You relax your grip and posture, but stay on your guard.

“How would you know? You stay in that… tent… thing.”

“Ah! Me Pirate’s Cove, that there is!” He exclaims, suddenly proud of himself. “Yer right, can’t see much there, but word spreads. Cute security guard don’t go unnoticed, given the old men we usually get ‘round here.”

You hesitate, unsure how to interpret the compliment. “Word spreads… with who?”

“Yer a bit slow, aren’t’cha? ‘S alright. We animatronics ain’t just props, y’know. Chica’s real keen on ya.” He chuckles, but you hear the insincerity in his tone. He takes a step towards you, and you instinctively take one backwards. “Yer shift ends at 6?”

“Yeah…” You trail off, tightening your grip on the baton once again.

He looks up at the clock on the wall. “‘S about 5.”

“I—“

He swiftly takes your wrist, pulling you toward his cold, yet shockingly soft, body. “Ya went home early?”

“What? I’m still here.”

“That’s not what this note says.” He grins a golden toothed smile, sticking a sticky note to the desk and lifting you, slinging you over his shoulder effortlessly.

“Fuck! Foxy, put me down!”

“Can’t hear ya, darlin’! What do ya say we get you some sweets to keep you calm?”

Do you know why Amaterasu was seen as a male in medieval times by some scholars?

This is something I’ve hoped to properly figure out myself while working on the recent Amaterasu two-parter, but sadly I’m incapable of providing a single comprehensive answer. 

More under the cut.

The most direct treatment of this matter I found is Allan G. Grapard’s Of Emperors and Foxy Ladies - I have some issues with this article in general, but here is the relevant section:

Bernhard Scheid in an article published on his website in 2001 argues male Amaterasu was the most common sort of depiction through the middle ages (though he does note actual pictorial depictions are rare), and speculates the perception of her as a female figure in general was in decline. He cites the example of Amaterasu as a youth - presumably the phenomenon of depicting Amaterasu in the guide of Uho Dōji, discussed here. However, this is a much more complex matter than just “male Amaterasu”, and the identification in fact caused controversies at Ise, to put it lightly. Also, the two were initially perceived as entirely separate, as seen here. While there are cases which match Scheid’s general idea (ex. Tenshō Daijin Giki), as I pointed out in the two-parter in some cases Amaterasu’s usual gender was reaffirmed in sources explicitly identifying her with pretty firmly male figures like Brahma, for instance in the Watarai books. It seems there is no universal answer, tbh.

While there are cases which match Scheid’s general idea (ex. Tenshō Daijin Giki), as I pointed out in the two-parter, in some cases Amaterasu’s usual gender was reaffirmed in sources explicitly identifying her with pretty firmly male figures like Brahma, for instance in the Watarai books. It seems there is no universal answer, tbh. Mark Teeuwen in A Social history of the Ise Shrines: Divine Capital notes that while there are sources where Amaterasu is clearly male, gender in this context needs to be seen through the lens of esoteric Buddhist literature of the middle ages, where opposites can be presented as an unity - whether it’s genders, enlightenment and ignorance, or even Buddha and Mara.

The matter is obviously complicated by the existence of a theory that Amaterasu was originally perceived as male, and it was female Amaterasu who constituted an innovation. Teeuwen himself suggests that initially Amaterasu might have been seen as a male kami similar to Onamuchi, based on analogous descriptions of their activity in early sources. The fact that the sun corresponds to yang and thus is “masculine coded” is also frequently brought up as an argument; yin-yang principles were obviously well known in early Japan, so in theory Amaterasu’s gender does seem somewhat unusual. How did the change originally occur if we were to accept these arguments? Teeuwen points out there is a well established theory that the myths focused on Amaterasu and Ninigi and the unusual transition of authority from grandmother to grandson reflect a unique political event, the reign of empress Jitō. She had a son of another of Tenmu’s wives eliminated to secure the throne for her own son, but he unexpectedly passed away, so she had to be succeeded by a grandson. Since these events coincided with the compilation of Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, Teeuwen suggests female Amaterasu first developed as a mirror of Jitō to justify this unusual maneuver.

Anna Andreeva in Assembling Shinto. Buddhist Approaches to Kami Worship in Medieval Japan cites a similar theory - “originally a male sun deity (...) worshipped by local fishermen at Ise” -  but doesn’t go into detail. The source is Atsumu Wada’s article The Origins of Ise Shrine published in Acta Asiatica in 1995; sadly I cannot access it to compare how it differs from Teeuwen’s proposal.

Since the familiarity with Amaterasu outside the imperial family was limited prior to the middle ages I do not think there is a case to be made for medieval male Amaterasu constituting some pre-Jitō relic, though. Ultimately, as I said I can’t really give you a single coherent answer. I think there is a need for a full academic synthesis of all this information, perhaps covering the matter of Toyouke’s gender and how the different views on the connection between them might have shaped this aspect of their respective characters.

so ok lets talk foxypope duo in hollywood au now. they work tg all the time like there's a bajillion pap pics out there of them workshopping tg at cafes. and to boost work morale b/w them they'll dress all matchy-matchy for their cafe workshop sessions n look film twt eats it up; sm so couples are using their matchy looks as couple pfps

anyways so foxypope are a non-negotiable duo. they wont work on a project if the other is not on board bc tg they've curated such a specific vision. foxy is a horror geek so all the screenplays she pushes pope's way are in that vein. but now pope loves him a good psychological drama or thriller but he also loves foxy's vision ... remember she is his muse and while he may or may not explicitly say it she is at the heart/spirit of all of his movies so their movies have horror at the heart of it but under that psychological drama/thriller lens which is why i felt robert eggers was rly fitting for what their movies tg end up looking like.

i also feel like they end up going on a lot of research trips tg for their movies too. they pull from a lot of real-life horror (like how the lighthouse was inspired by an actual lighthouse incident back in the day) so they end up in these rly scary places like deserted lighthouses, abandoned churches etc. to get a feel for whatever story they're trying to work out at the time. ik they got the coolest stories to tell bc of all their research trips

-🐰

YASSSSS LETS TALK ABOUT MY BABIES

she's really his main driving force like pope realized this early on after his first movie without her flopped and he was like "nah we're the dream team we have to be together."

the pics of them out at cafes and scouting locations make people go nuts bc i think she still dresses like shit but in a "chic way" she's wearing rain boots with cargo pants and a giant leather jacket but the blogs eat it up and pope's always seen in the pics talking super animatedly while she's all cool and collected because you know she's already writing his ideas in her head.

they work so well because he's the only one who can practically see into her head and understand her exact vision. nobody else gets her like he does and atp everyone knows it. they curate such a haunting and visceral vibe in their work and they're both morbid people so it works but there's always an underlying romanticism. you cant tell me pope doesnt invent new lighting techniques just so her vision is executed perfectly.

they also frequently disappear for months or even like a couple years when working on projects they don't have a huge filmography for that reason because they're really taking their time. she writes for a couple shows and smaller films in between bc screenwriting really does pay well if youre established and work constantly tho (inputting my real knowledge here...this is looking like my current path.)

[salteytakesonmanga]

I think it’s played up to show Arlong has the tendencies of a tantrum throwing five year old.

Anon is referring to this post.

I’m going to have to disagree with you there.

Arlong is not childish. Choo and Hachi are far more childish and impulsive with petty vengeful traits. Arlong is ruthless and calculating and is almost always chillingly calm. Even in the fight with Luffy, when he’s supposedly so enraged he’s at risk of destroying his “palace,” he’s still calm enough to pause in the middle of the fight and gloat. The repeated threat that Arlong will destroy a whole village or all of Arlong Park simply never materializes.

I think what happened here was Oda had a different idea for how he wanted the fight with Arlong to go, and for whatever reason he wound up not using it. Maybe because he wanted to go with a different direction once he got to that point, maybe because an editor told him to change it, maybe he just ran out pages to include all the scenes he wanted.

Calling his rage a “tantrum” and likening Arlong to a 5 year old child is… honestly really weird, when we have so many immature, childish, tantrum-throwing villains to compare him to (Buggy, Wapol, Foxy, Spandam, Ceasar, even Big Mom…) Contrasting Arlong to these characters you can see how different their attitudes are.

I’m guessing you’re reading Arlong’s character through the lens of a particular trope or characterization you’re applying from another source, which is a legit way of approaching characters, but I think you’ve way oversimplified. Just because one character gets angry and loses control as part of their childish character doesn’t mean every single character who flies into a rage is also childish. I tried looking for other ways in which Arlong is “childish” and I simply don’t see any.

[livseses]

It's weird holding dual beliefs about the nature of some headmates and their source.

On the one hand, Foxy and Ny view themselves as castaway souls; beings reincarnated after a sort. They view their home as a world unto itself that through something like prayer or astral projection they can revisit in a way.

But before Foxy got conscious or Ny arrived in earnest, their home was a campaign setting and they characters. It still is honestly, as ttrpgs are how we write and create instead of traditional novels and short stories.

So it's weird sometimes being agnostic or holding cognitive dissonance on the subject. Sometimes it's easier to talk about and describe things with a lens of "this is a fictional setting" and other times with a lens of "this is their past life". Sometimes one makes the other feel like a lie. Trying to keep any form of consistency is foolhardy at best.

The Park Ranger - (Lee!Phone Guy, Ler!Animatronics) (Freddy and Friends on Tour)

Summary: Freddy discovers a sweet park ranger putting up safety signs. His name tag has been scratched off and he seems kind of nervous. After investigating, Freddy finds his boss and evidence of abuse. Can Freddy help this poor man? // Warning for dark themes, through the lens of children’s show characters.

...

During one of his treks around the area, Freddy found a man in the forest putting up signs. The signs warned people that there was dangerous wildlife in the area and for them to be careful around it. Freddy appreciated the warning, but he was perfectly happy performing here. After all, he could easily scare anything unpleasant off if he had to. The man smiled and leaned against a tree, deciding to take a break and watch the performance.

Freddy smiled at him and performed with the band. Later, he came by to introduce himself, but found the man had fallen asleep! Heh. Well, he knew how to fix that!

"Tickle, tickle~!" he teased, drumming his paw pads along the man's sides and waist. The man kept his eyes closed, but tensed and started to laugh.

"Hahahahahhahaaa! Q-quihihiihiiit ihihihit! Ihihihih'm awake!" He laughed, wiggling around and pushing Freddy's paws away. Looking up, he gulped, seeing how large Freddy really was. "Heh. S-sorry I fell asleep during the concert! N-no hard feelings?"

Freddy looked at him sympathetically. "Of course not. We all need our sleep. And you look like you need more of it!" He noted his eye bags.

The man looked away. "Uhh, yeah... I kind of need to work eleven hours a day right now, without overtime. M-my boss isn't too happy with me, b-but I'm trying my best, really!"

Freddy tilted his head, wondering who the man worked for. And why they demanded so much of him. "Well, you can rest in our van if you want."

"No, I-I can't!" The man looked down at his watch worriedly. "I-I've got to get back real quick! The boss needs me."

He ran back into the woods before Freddy could ask any more questions.

...

Later, in the van, he'd told his friends about the mysterious man.

"Awww, poor little guy! It sounds like he needs a friend." Chica said worriedly.

"Yeah, we should talk to him before we go. Maybe give him free concert tickets?" Bonnie offered. From the corner, a voice piped up.

"...Ayyy, it's worse than that, me friends. I'm afraid our poor matey's sufferin' from an abusive relationship. That boss is givin' him an illegal amount of work."

The others gasped.

"What can we do...?" Freddy said.

Foxy rubbed his chin in thought. "I suggest we don't take our eyes off him."

They came over to the window to check on the man. And he was gone.

...

At a lone cabin at the edge of the forest, there was a single light flickering in the window of the room.

Freddy knocked on the door.

"Is anyone home?!"

There was a scuffling sound as whoever it was came to the door. It was a brown haired man in a purple uniform. He grinned at Freddy.

"Oh, hello. Don't worry, Mr. Bear. There have been no forest fires around here recently! You may go now." And he hurried to close the door. Freddy held it open.

"Wait. I'd like to come in and talk to you a little. Are you employing that nice young man who put up the signs?"

Purple man's smile fell. "Mm. Perhaps..."

"Can you tell me where he is right now?"

Just then, someone came out of the kitchen. It was the man who'd put up the signs. And he was holding an ice pack up to his cheek. He looked curiously to see who was at the door, but quickly stepped back into the kitchen when he saw it was Freddy.

Freddy rushed inside, not bothering with manners. Going right up to him to check him over. "Hey! You! Are you alright?"

The man backed up more.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine! I just, uhh, slipped on some ice!" He said quickly.

"But it's summer..."

Seeming more panicked, he took Freddy's hand and began to lead him to the door.

"Please. Y-you need to go now. Trust me, I-I'll be fine." He smiled, trying to look convincing. As he looked up at Freddy with his fake grin, he realized he forgot to press the ice pack to his cheek. There was a dark mark that looked like it had been made by a hand. And there were multiple points of impact. The ice was quickly put back to hide it.

Freddy growled. "No." He glared at the older man in the purple uniform. He was smiling back at him from the sofa, holding a cup of tea. Like there was nothing Freddy could do and that he needed to leave. Freddy felt an overwhelming urge to clobber the guy right then and there. But sighed and walked up to the door. He felt horrible about leaving, but he didn't want to just attack someone and get sued. So he'd go. There had to be something else he could do...

...

Coming back to the campsite, Freddy told the rest of his band what was happening.

"Poor little guy..." Foxy said. "There must be something we can do."

"Like what?" Bonnie said.

The others thought for a while.

"Well, hmm..." Foxy said. "Now bear with me on this. How about we invite him on our tour? That way he doesn't have to deal with that smelly old brute."

Freddy raised his hand. "Wait. I've seen what he's like. He thinks he's fine, and would probably shoo us out of there..."

Chica put her hands on her hips. "Then what do you suggest?! Kidnap him??"

"No," he shot back. "There has to be a better way."

...

So there the man was, sleeping on the bed in the back of the van. Freddy had made sure to scratch some things up in his old room to make it look like a wild animal had come in through the window and had gotten him. It had been 12 hours since their little heist, and the man was still asleep. The sun was just beginning to rise.

"You think he'll be mad at us...?" Bonnie said.

"Oh yes," Chica replied. "Very, very mad."

Freddy was driving, but he was very worried. They'd just made an impulsive decision to save someone that could cost them. He hoped they made the right choice.

"W-who'll tell him the bad news?" Bonnie wondered. Foxy trotted over.

"Make way, will ya? I'll tell 'im." He sat down in the booth in front of the man and looked him over. It appeared that the man's nametag had been scratched off by a pin. He wondered why. "Err... landlubber, we've err, set sail."

The man hummed happily in his sleep. He was kind of handsome, with light brown hair and soft features. Foxy smiled.

"Ain't he precious?"

He reached out to nudge his shoulder to try and wake him. But the man just rolled over, refusing to get up. Foxy looked at the scene helplessly. Observing his hook, he knew he could easily hurt this man, and that wasn't what he wanted.

Chica chuckled, and handed Foxy one of her feathers. "I have an idea!"

Remembering Freddy's actions at the start of their concert, he grinned. So Foxy carefully secured the man's ankles, being careful with his hook and only pierced the couch cushion. Chica slipped the man's shoes off and paused. She brushed the feather over his socked feet to see if that did anything. A flinch, but nothing more.

So she continued slipping off his socks, and then ran the yellow feather along the sole of his left foot.

The man curled up, giggling.

The friends smiled.

"Aww, is someone ticklish?" Bonnie said. He observed the scene with a grin.

"N-noooooo~!" the man whined.

"Someone needs to wakey wakey!" Chica sang, brushing her wing all over his soles.

"HAHAHAHAAHAAHAAAHAAHAHAAAA!" He gasped, not expecting a full attack so soon. And realizing his feet were trapped. "OKAHAHAHAHAHAY OKAHAHAHAHAAAAY! I'LL WAKE UP!"

Curling up and opening his eyes, he saw the band members whom he'd dreamt about having actually put him in their van. And they were moving.

"Wahaait. W-what's going on?" He looked out the window. "Where are we headed? What have you done...?"

Instead of sounding mad, his voice was sad and a little fearful.

"We rescued you, silly!" Bonnie said. The others nodded.

"Ayy, it's true." Foxy admitted. "We didn't want you around that rapscallion any longer. He wasn't fit to scrub barnacles off the sides of me boat."

Freddy turned around in his driver's chair.

"It's not really a kidnapping. You can get off the bus at any time. If you want, we'll drop you off at a police station and they should be able to help you. Put you in protective custody and all that." He explained.

The man blinked away tears. "N-no one's ever c-cared about me this much... T-thank you. But h-how do I know your plan will work? I-I don't want him coming after you too..."

There was worry in his voice.

"Hey." Foxy placed a hand on his shoulder. "We'll take care of it, alright?"

He didn't have a plan but didn't want the man more stressed than he already was.

And then there were arms around him. And there were tears. Lots and lots of tears. Foxy didn't know what to do, since he wasn't usually the one people sought comfort in. He uncertainly patted the man's back.

"There, there... Things will be alright. Don't worry about a thing."

...

It was now midnight of the following day. The man had sought custody and was assigned a therapist for what he'd went through. The band was stopped at their last location for the tour. Freddy was currently on  the phone with the manager. He looked more and more down the longer the call went on.

"Bad news guys... Our manager quit; he said he found all the constant hassle of the job was too overwhelming. He's settling down for something more local."

The others gasped.

"But-but what about the band?!" Chica said.

"Is this our last spot ever?" Bonnie said worriedly.

Foxy hummed. "Perhaps not. I think we know a guy..."

It was a bit of a long shot, but they had nothing to lose. So they called up their friend.

"Hello-hello?" he answered.

"Yes; it's Freddy and friends. How are you doin'?"

"A-a lot better, actually."

"Okay, so we might just have a job offer in store for you. It pays better than what that jerk gave you, and for less hours. You'll be our new manager! So, what do you think?"

"Oh, yeah. Uhh, what will I be doing?"

Freddy explained that the duties of a manager were to call different places and book showtimes for their band. He'd also be handling all the money and payment duties.

"Ooo, that sounds easy! I'm in!" He said with a smile.

"Great!"

Freddy smiled as he hung up.

"We have a new manager!"

The others all cheered and high-fived each other.

I was tagged by @simpledontmeanpeachy for a Last Lines challenge.

Almost immediately, Barry made friends with some of the others in the shop, and easily fell into a good natured debate while Len poked around the display shelves to see if anything caught his attention.

For context, Len brought Barry to a comic book shop while they are absolutely, definitely, totally not on a date, what are you talking about, why would you think that?

There’s no way I’ll be able to tag as many people are there are words in this line, so I’m going to just tag the people I know are currently writing things.

When, like a running grave by Dylan Thomas

I'm reading this verse by verse, because it's so opaque to me.

Comes, like a scissors stalking, tailor age

I can't read this line without seeing this in my head:

which is interesting but probably far too literal. 😁

It's interesting that it's "like a scissors stalking" not "like scissors stalking" ... so it is the idea of inanimate stalking we should focus on rather than the image of the movement? That's a frightening idea - I think because of the fear that an object has some will, some intelligence, but perhaps not enough to be reasoned with - like you can't reason with death which comes when it comes, or love, which seems to have a force or strength outside reason or argument. It's not clear what is coming like a scissors stalking ... love or death or death in love, a very Thomassy concept.

Tailoring is a recurring thing in Dylan Thomas, cf Twenty-Four Years: In the groin of the natural doorway I crouched like a tailor / Sewing a shroud for a journey / By the light of the meat-eating sun.

Having things made is something that happens at key moments. Is "tailor age" death, when a shroud is prepared, or the beginning of boyhood, when school clothes are needed, or adulthood, when a man might be fitted for a suit that would last a lifetime, or be worn just once for a wedding? Tailor age spoken suggests tailorage - the products and effects of tailoring, makes me think of puberty or old age, changes bought about by time or God depending on your point of view - was God the tailor for Thomas, maturity a sort of tailorage of the body?

(apparently I am doing this line by line now 😂)

Deliver me who, timid in my tribe,

Of love am barer than Cadaver's trap.

I like this couplet. It starts like a prayer, a prayer to Time - or the natural child of time, Death - for deliverance, but from what?

Tribe might mean in his family, or amongst his peers. Is the speaker timid by comparison, or is he only timid amongst his tribe? Does he need love to free him from the place where he's timid, and where he has less love than "Cadaver's trap" (the grave), or does he want to escape from the snare of love?

If spoken, the second line could be misconstrued as "Deliver me who ... Of love am bearer ..." until the final three words makes it clear.

It's all about the fear of sexual love says this fan of Freud, and when the final line winks at you

Robbed of the foxy tongue, his footed tape

Of the bone inch,

with its "foxy tongue" and "bone" it's hard to argue.

(From: Freud’s “On the Universal Tendency to Debasement in the Sphere of Love” as a Lens for Thomas’s “When, Like a Running Grave”, Christina Braswell)
