#I remember also some animatronics there literally just one in a box where you could input commands cause it was such high tech at the time

[mideop]

Because there hasn’t been a lot of posts today (I was too busy partying lol) Have some.. ★Dust!Goldie fun facts★

(I apologise in advance, this has a lot of dumb ranting ALSO - I refer to Dust!goldie as both Dust (his nickname/codename) and Goldie!)

• Goldie, after waking up/being revived, waited in the back rooms for roughly another 7 months until he heard Freddy and the others getting their Christmas presents, and they didn’t bring one for him, thats when he realised he wasn't getting let out. Thats also when he learnt to teleport! He wished to be out the backrooms so badly, it actually happened! (Was rather jarring for him at the time.)

∙ Dust cant actually eat anything, no one can clean out his stomach hatch because no one that can clean it knows he exists! (He is very sad about this fact.)

∙ Mike knows Goldie exists, he isnt paid enough to care.

∙ One time, one of the animatronics found an old Golden Freddy plush, and brought it to Freddy. Freddy just played it off as a special edition recolour of himself and took it to “throw it away.” He kept that plush and hid it away in a drawer. He could barely look at it.

∙ Animatronics have to have limited amounts of tears right? They cant cry forever, they'd run out of water eventually! That happened to Goldie, he physically can’t cry because he’s out of tears. He cried so much he can’t anymore. (Ignore that one comic where Mari gives him a gift and he tears up, that was just for special effect 😅)

• Where does Dust charge? How does he get energy to stay alive? Well, the same way he solves all problems in this AU, theft. He steals the charge boxes. And implants them himself. Hey, he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do to survive! • Dust is actually kinda scared of Freddy - I mean the dude literally almost left him to die (at least from his perspective) , even though he's seen how remorseful Freddy is and how depressed he is, that knowledge he could literally kill you if he wanted is gonna make you wary of the guy, if Freddy did ever spot him I feel like it would go like this :

"Wowwieee omg im sorry for almost leaving you to die uh you still shouldnt have killed that child though. So happy your still alive you wanna go play tetris or something?"

"AHHHH-PLEASE DON’T KILL ME-“

• Goldie in this AU never really got his stomach/mouth cleaned after the bite, he was just straight away thrown into the backrooms. There’s still traces of blood in his mouth that he can taste but he can’t eat anything to distract himself from it. Moths/butterflies (I can’t remember if it was moths or butterflies that are attracted to dead bodies, but it was one of them) are attracted to him because of the blood still remaining inside of him.

Might edit and add some more later!

Ok, so someone responded to my Floormaster Sun and Moon AU with keyboards smash, so here’s some misc. ideas for this AU. Since I made the first post, I have decided that this is Fazbear instead of Asu-naro. Also I didn’t say it in the OG post, but I’m replacing the cast with FNAF characters, and maybe some TSAMS characters. Lmk if y’all would like that and who should be in the cast. (Remember, they are participants, not Floormasters. Also they’d be humans with different names to avoid confusion) Also, I need a name for this AU. I was thinking something relating to the alternate translation of the title Die Now, Darling (see vgperson’s translation notes). Someone’s already using that as an AU name so I need to think of something to differentiate it.

CW: Cults, indoctrination, death, mention of suicide (in a weird “I don’t want to die but my will is being overwritten I’m being forced to do this” way),

Fazbear is just as involved with everything as Asu-naro was in the actual game. They started as a Pizza Dinner like in canon, but they’ve branched out so much. And also, they’re a lot more professional and presentable then in canon. Like, the public thinks that after the missing children incident Fazbear got its shit together and started to strive for absolute perfection in all locations. Fazbear in this AU is known for stuff for Disney World-level customer service.

Sun and Moon used to work at a daycare-kindergarten hybrid thing run by Fazbear. All the animatronics used to do something else for Fazbear before becoming a Floormaster. However, all animatronics are both programmed and taught throughout their life to worship Fazbear like a god. All of them are created knowing that Fazbear is doing something that the public is never to know about, and that it’s the most important thing to the company. They don’t know what (to avoid spilling it out to the public), but they are programmed with the knowledge that if they do well enough at their job, Fazbear will take them to work on it in some way. As you could guess, Sun and Moon “pass the test” and get taken away to be Floormasters. Their memories of their old life were erased to avoid any complications, but some of their old teacher/caretaker programming is still there, unless it conflicts with their current programming… for the most part, but I’ll get to that later

When YN left, Fazbear considered wiping Sun and Moon’s memories of them or just replacing Sun and Moon. However, YN were involved with all of their training to be a Floormaster (programming can only get you so far) and erasing YN would mean starting all over on them. And replacing would do the same thing with even more steps. And since YN left a year before when the game was supposed to take place at most, and Sun and Moon’s training took 15 years, they just said “fuck it, we have no other option” and made Sun more sadistic and left Moon’s programming alone since he seemed more pissed at YN then sad. But they did add a kill switch to him, and by kill switch I mean physically forcing him to rip his own body apart until he shuts off. I’m not sure if this is a “something lifeless possesses him and shuts off all his thoughts as he is reduced to a empty husk that knows nothing except to do as it’s told as it tears his body apart as a display of what the company thinks the idea robot is, one who will literally kill itself without hesitation if the company decides it” thing or a “he losses control of his body but his mind is still there as he is powerless to watch his own two hands rip his own body apart as he screams and begs for his life to the cold and uncaring corporation who see this whole display as the only acceptable act of repentance for a defective machine who thought it had the right to think for itself” thing. Maybe both where it’s the second idea but Moon can’t use his voice box so it kinda looks like option one.

Ok that was dark let’s move on to less horrifying thingies

YN is AMAB and agender. They have a stubble

Cassie is here as sort of a “Gin” character. This isn’t “Character A takes is B” AU, I’m just saying she a similar type of role as. The nice little kid who gets dragged into this. He personally doesn’t change from in the game btw

On a very related note, as much as Moon tried to avoid it, he ends up getting attached to a participant: Cassie. Basically, Cassie gets injured a good bit during attractions and goes to Doctor Moon for it. The jabs turn into back and forth. Moon slowly softens up to her. His gremlin nature was funny to Cassie. And while neither would really consider each other a friend, Cassie does like Moon the most out of all the Floormasters so far. And Moon’s mix of teacher/caretaker programming, loneliness after YN left and Sun changed, and genuinely care for the kid makes him genuinely protective of her and mortified at the idea of her dying. I’m thinking of adding a plot point in 2-b where, like Gashu, he messes with the cards. But unlike Gashu, it was to protect Cassie who would’ve gotten the sacrifice card. This… obviously don’t end well for him.

Vanessa is here, she’s a secret spy for Fazbear like Hinako was. Unlike Hinako, she’s been in the group since the beginning. She and YN have been beefing since the beginning of the game. Both try to reveal each other’s secrets. However, they can’t just say “She is/They were involved with the kidnappers” without looking suspicious, so they try to sneakily put the other in situations that would reveal their opponent’s identities without leaving a trace that they put them in it.

Again, similar role, but not a complete 1-to-1. Vanessa is the “suspicious character whose the protagonist’s closest ally” like Keiji. Assuming the POV character has the same high survival percentage and being scary in the test runs deal as Sara, or at least something similar to it. Who the protagonist is I’m willing to discuss. Michael if he’s still alive somehow? Maybe if I use SAMS character’s Nice Eclipse? YN basically tried to play neutral with them, expecting Vanessa to do the same. Vanessa was going to, but saw YN strategy and changed her plan. She attached herself to them in hopes of getting an advantage. This actually worked because the protagonist is in good guy mode. Vanessa then started to paint YN in a bad light to hopefully get them bumped off. I was gonna go the Shin route with YN, they wouldn’t really have a reason to start causing problems so the troublemaker role can go to someone else. Maybe YN could also be the mysterious ally and the “game” is building up to an inevitable main choice between the protagonist’s most reliable allies, Vanessa and YN.

!! (OC plz)

while trying to think of a character I didn't think you would recognize, since I know you've seen The Twine™, I decided, howzabout one I only recently got solidified again? as if "recently" wasn't "literally a few hours ago" hjsdfguihj

Jewel O. Mega, Jack of Diamonds

(detail for fun: the file name is "the scrunkledog.png")

Jewel is a repurposed FNaF OC that's been kicking around as a character and in my head for years, and as of basically literally yesterday at the time of posting I've spun her into being part of Celia's setting. her name was originally Omega, now reflected in the middle-last name combo (the O stands for Okami), and she also used to not be a girl until headmate Omega decided to transition a little while before I did, which was very funny in hindsight looking back

Jewel is the Jack of Diamonds, a position that acts as an advisor to the current ruler of Wonderland, who is currently Celia Whiterose. she's currently in the outside world trying to figure out if anyone else from Wonderland is still real, but coming up fairly empty-handed (er. empty-pawed?) since the possible amount of people who could have done that is admittedly pretty low by default. her ponytail doubles as an inked brush, and things that get touched by the ink have the potential to get changed depending on if Jewel had something in mind when it happens; for example, she could decide a wall could use an extra door, paint the wall, and there would be a door there. to combat any potential confusion from this, this action also effectively 'retcons' the world to a state where this was always the case (so the wall, in the eyes of anyone else that saw it, would have always been on that wall); the only ones who would know it was ever different are Jewel herself, the person changed by this (if done to a person), or anyone she re-paints into knowing what happened. she frequently abuses utilizes this to do little mundane things like change how many digits are on her paws (sometimes a girl just needs to have boxing glove hands for a while), what colors her fur is (fun fact: it used to be white!), or what her name is (furries will play a good Wii game one time and decide to immortalize it as a part of them forever)

and just for fun, the old FNaF stuff is under the cut

old Jewel was a dog animatronic that served in the FNaF2 location as an engineer and repairman. she (even if it's a past iteration and makes the continued use of she/her slightly awkward in my mind I will not misgender this doog) had a two-part attachment instead of a right hand, along with a bunch of modules that could be put onto it. I have no idea what they all were anymore but what I do remember was a hook, a bigger hook, a wrench, a taser, and probably a few dozen others that I made specifically because I thought it would be cool (which I stand by tbh). and for some reason I decided that she would go into a Nightmare form if she listened to Monster by Skillet for long enough? specifically from the beginning up until the part where he says "feel like a monster" in the growly voice? not sure what I was cooking with that part tbh, I don't even think I used it in anything either so it was just there for the sake of it. at any rate this also isn't the first time we've tried to flip Omega into a different character, I distinctly remember making a Funtime version around Sister Location, then I found another old attempt at a full no-FNaF conversion that was more or less just a generic anthro dog furry with the hook module turned into a kinda kickass sword, which I might turn into a different OC at some point for the sword alone to be honest

Decorate

For @thefanficfaerie​‘s OTP Challenge (2020) Words: 1032  Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader     Prompt: Spooktacular Halloween: Day 1 - Decorate Summary: It's the start of the Halloween season and Reader is ready to get thing started. Once they decide on the theme for the year, Reader takes Steve shopping for decorations.

“Wait a minute, this store wasn’t here last month.” Steve observed as the two of you got out of your car. You were taking Steve on his first trip to a Spirit Halloween store. “Well the building was because we ordered from that Chipotle. Did they build a whole store in a few days?”

“Probably. They’re called pop-up stores.” You explained. “They rent out vacant spaces in malls and shopping centers. They set up a minimal number of fixtures and are around for a month or two before they get taken down again.”

“Interesting. What are we buying here again?” He asked as you stepped inside.

“Oh, you know a few things.” You shrugged.

“We already have Halloween decorations at home. Remember last year you set up that tent on the law and put together that giant carnival thing? It’s all still in the attic.” He was certain.

“Yeah, but that was last year.” You told him. “This year I narrowed it down to either Hocus Pocus. You know, really traditional Salem Witch trial kind of thing or Pirates. I want to look at their plastic skeletons. I saw online that they have the cutest little octopus skeleton!”

“Doll, octopuses don’t have skeletons.” Steve pointed out.

“I know but they’re still cute. C’mon the skeleton aisle is over here.” You tugged Steve over to the area of the store where over twenty-five different plastic skeletons were on display. “Look here’s a shark skull and a little fish and the little octopus! It’s decided. We’re doing pirates.”

“Pirates.” He repeated. He held out his arms so you could start filling them with plastic nautical themed skulls and skeletons. “Like Pirates of the Caribbean?”

“Yes, but more like Pirates of the Caribbean before the movies. Think Dead Men Tell No Tales instead of Why is the rum gone.” You explained. “Okay, so we’re going to need a flag and some wooden barrels ooh and a Mermaid skeleton!” 

Two hours later you and Steve could barely carry everything to your car. Aside from skeletons of various sea creatures your purchase had also included a few plastic drinking goblets, some pirate hats, plastic swords and fishing nets. There was a motion activated parrot that would squawk themed various phrases at passersby. Steve hadn’t even known there was so much pirate merchandise to be found.

“It’s okay, you can say it.” You said as you put the last bag in the car. “You think I overdid it.”

“Well, you definitely didn’t under do it.” He laughed. “What exactly was your budget for this shopping trip?”

“You don’t want to know.” You told him.

“Well, I’m sure we’ll have the best decorated house on the block.” Steve promised. “I can’t wait to go home and set it up so we can start showing it off.”

“We have to stop at the hardware store on the way.” You reminded him, climbing behind the steering wheel. “They’ve got some pirate animatronics that I want for the lawn.”

“Doll, I don’t think any more decorations are going to fit in the car.” Steve worried as he got into the passenger’s seat.

“Well the roof rack is still empty.” You said, maneuvering the car out of its parking space. “And we also need to pick up some extension cords and power strips.”  

“Wow you weren’t kidding; she’s going all out.” You looked up from the tangle of lights you were battling to see Steve’s best friend, Bucky Barnes, walking across the lawn from his car. You looked over at your boyfriend for an explanation.

“I thought we could use some reinforcement.” Steve shrugged.

“Okay fine, Bucky you can start by detangling these lights.” You handed the bundle of orange and purple bulbs over to him.

“I’ll set up the pirate ship.” You decided.

“Did she just say…” Bucky looked at Steve.

“Oh yeah,” He nodded. “It’s got a skeleton captain and an animated wheel. It’s not a whole ship though, just the bow. Cost us Three Hundred and fifty dollars.”

“You paid three hundred and fifty bucks for a quarter of a ship?” Bucky shook his head. “I thought you were a better negotiator than that.”

“Whatever my gal wants she gets.” Steve chuckled. “Besides, at least I’m not stuck on light detangling detail.”

“You are if you want your lawn decorated before midnight tonight.” Bucky disagreed. He reached into a box by his feet and handed Steve another bundle of lights.

“Just think, tomorrow she’d going to want to do the inside of the house. I’m exhausted already from thinking about it.” Steve confessed.

“Do I even want to know what the electric bill is going to be this month?” Steve teased as he flopped down onto your bed that night.

“Probably not.” You shrugged. “But we have a reputation to uphold.” You told him as you kicked off your shoes. “What would people say if Captain America’s house wasn’t decorated for Halloween? You reached over and gave his hand a squeeze before opening a drawer and grabbing some pajamas.

“But seriously, I really appreciate your help today.” You said as you changed. “I couldn’t have done it without you or Bucky for that matter. And to think you made it through the whole ordeal without a single ‘back in my day’ speech.”

“I like Halloween.” He said, kicking off his own shoes and getting off the bed to remove his pants and shirt. “It’s the one day a year where a kid can literally be anything they want. You can’t imagine what that meant to a certain skinny kid from Brooklyn at the time.”

“Oh, I bet I can.” You smiled as you climbed into your side of the bed. “You still wear a costume to work.” You reminded him.

“It’s not a costume.” He countered also getting into bed. “It’s government issued tactical gear.”

“Red, white and blue tactical gear, huh?” You raised an eyebrow at him.

“Okay,” He laughed snuggling close to you. Steve wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you close. “It’s a little bit of a costume, but I know for a fact you like a man in uniform.” He whispered in your ear.

[blookmallow]

i finally rewatched Us watching for details... I also took a bunch of screenshots, I’ve mentioned before I live in santa cruz and grew up going to this boardwalk so im obsessed with this movie, I’m going to go try to take some better comparison shots sometime (here’s a few I took before) (and here’s a Tethered mannequin that was outside of the frightwalk for a while. i havent been inside for ages so I don’t know if they moved him inside or if he’s just gone now) (i HOPE they did something with the theme considering the frightwalk is literally a horror attraction beneath the boardwalk. i dont really want to go in there by myself though lmao. not a fan of animatronics jumping out and screaming at me) 

this is a lot, i have many things to say 

-----------------

- the opening news segment is 11 at 11 

- you can faintly see adelaide/red’s reflection in the tv screen, with a toy rabbit (her shirt also has twin lines on it in multiple places but that could be looking too far lmao) 

- in the “Hands Across America” segment (aside from the obvious red figures linked together in the logo) : “from the golden gate bridge to the twin towers” another possible 11/twinning, and it starts in california, which is where the tethered revolution begins 

- on “from sea to shining sea” the exact same coastline image is just flipped 

(there’s also another 11 on the side of the TV here) 

- “This summer, 6 million people will tether themselves together” 

- brief mirroring in the boardwalk ad, not just two girls running on the beach but also two girls with upside down reflections in the ground, 

- fairly obvious one, but “find yourself” (as a sidenote there’s nothing in that spot irl, the roller coaster and the swings are real but there was never a ‘vision quest’ or a ‘merlin forest’ as far as I know and there’s no door or anything there either, the interior shots must’ve been done separately somewhere else) (nothing’s left here from the movie now either, I have no idea when they filmed it because I never saw anything or heard anything about it) 

- adelaide/red whistles “the itsy bitsy spider” when the lights go out in the vision quest - “down came the rain and washed the spider out,” it’s raining outside when her tethered comes up (and she is dragged down). she also drops her red apple on the ground before she enters 

- zora’s rabbit shirt 

- everyone else is eating fast food of some kind, except adelaide, who is eating red strawberries 

as well as being a visual cue, its possible she has an aversion to meat if she was forced to eat raw rabbit as a child

- young adelaide arranging animals in the sand (it seems like some of the tethered tend to mirror their counterpart’s movements, so it’s possible she’s mirroring red, though it’s probably not that likely she’d be planning this early/the dance hasnt happened yet so its probably just foreshadowing) 

- young adelaide very pointedly watches “her” mother crying, saying “I just want my little girl back” - she will never have her little girl back again, though she doesn’t know it (I’m not sure if adelaide still remembers what she’s done at this point either) 

its also mentioned that ‘grandma’ has passed away as of the present time, likely adelaide’s mother (i dont remember if its stated outright but since the house belonged to the grandma, and it’s in santa cruz, that would line up) so. the tethered mother, if she’s still alive, would not kill red’s real mother in the uprising. dont know about the father, or if red knows/cares about this, but. thats there. that also means the original mother will never know what happened with her daughter (likely the father won’t either, it’s not clear if he’s still alive but there’s no mention of him being around/he’s not at the house so it seems likely he passed already too) 

- adelaide, her reflection, and a (not so) itsy bitsy spider 

theres even two spiders, one a toy, one real 

- jason crawls out of a cabinet at zora’s feet and scares her while she’s looking in a mirror (which is also a very pluto-like movement) 

- adelaide finds the toy rabbit in a box; assuming the intro was chronological, we saw “her” with it in the tv screen reflection before she went to the boardwalk, so this was red’s rabbit first (she probably does not remember this, though) (red also later finds this and cuts off the head, not sure why though)

- adelaide “sees” her child self in the room with her (in her memory) learning her dance alongside her reflection

 but the reflection is the one she “sees” looking directly at her 

(she’s also interrupted by hearing her son, above her, screaming because he’s trapped, but that might not be intentional) (though when red comes down here later, she is also interrupted by her son getting stuck in the closet too)

- she’s also wearing a choker necklace with a matching gold bracelet, maybe an allusion to. the choking and the handcuffs, again i might be looking into it too much, but. the white clothes which steadily become red with blood seems very intentional so i wouldnt be surprised if the jewelry was planned specifically too 

- its really hard to see and its a split second throwaway comment but kitty goes “oh isnt that beautiful” showing her the magazine and i thhiiiink thats a white girl in a native american headdress :’  ) probably doesnt have. much deeper meaning other than ‘clueless white friends’ but 

- guy buried in sand comes bursting to the surface again and scares his friends (also eyyooooo you can see the wharf in the background im down there all the time) (sorry this is still wild to me. i grew up here ive been to that beach like 9 million times)

- i didnt catch it and was waiting for it to be shown again and it wasnt and i dont want to go back for it but anyway jason has a drawing of a bunch of people holding hands in a line like the hands across america thing in his room, theres a lot of drawings around and we see his drawing of the first untethered, so he probably drew that as well

- jason has a hard time communicating, but he seems to use drawing as a way to express himself. he doesn’t tell his mother about the encounter with the old man (and only shrugs when he’s asked about it) but he does draw it. adelaide found self expression through dance when she was a child before she was able to talk, so he probably got those traits from her. her voice also goes low and hollow on the line “I just didn’t know if you were lost, or... taken” 

- her voice also gets very strange when she’s talking about her memory of the encounter in the vision quest. low, shaky, harsh. its fascinating hearing how much alike the voices are (obviously they’re both the same actress/if the tethered are clones it makes sense that they’d have identical vocal chords but like. red’s got a fucked up voice. hearing echos of that in adelaide is wild and i didnt notice it at all before) 

- its not clear whether adelaide actually remembers what she did, or even realizes she was the copy - is she trying to protect her family from what she believes was the girl who almost took her, or trying to stop her from getting her revenge? she describes the event to gabe as if she was the one who was attacked but escaped, and im not sure if she’s lying or has convinced herself that’s the truth

something’s going on with jason and pluto too but I don’t quite know what it is. when we first see jason he’s wearing a Jaws shirt, kind of a similar vibe to the thriller shirt, and when the tethered arrive he’s wearing a white tuxedo t shirt, white matching his mother’s white outfit. the others all go off to kill their doubles but pluto holds jason’s hand, sits with him quietly, watches his magic trick, he’s told to go “play” which. obviously has a violent undertone to it but he doesn’t actually try to kill him. i dont even remember seeing him with the scissors. why are jason and pluto different. why does pluto get stuck mirroring jason’s movements even to the point of his death but the others dont. why didn’t adelaide mirror red

i guess its possible its because pluto is the youngest in the family so maybe he hasn’t broken out of his connection yet? they didnt really ever explain how they learned to do that 

and as for the connection with adelaide it. could just be that jason takes after his mom more and zora takes after her dad more but that seems too simple. i mean theres the theory going around that jason was actually switched with his clone too at some point and its got some good points (jason forgetting the magic trick, getting stuck in the closet again, etc) but theres a whole line of logic to debunk that too so its just. What’s Going On Here  

cal 11 

i took the first pic to get a comparison shot at the same place later irl but then noticed the ambulance they come across is the same one (#2) they saw earlier 

pretty obvious but the real rabbit comes out through the picture of an identical rabbit (there’s also probably a “rabbit hole” allusion here) 

i noticed this before too but now i have a screenshot of it, im the rabbit in the background just chilling on the floor during the climax here

- im sure i must have seen this before but i forgot about it. the 11:11 guy’s tethered didn’t have a sign so he just.......carved it into his head

- it never healed, either, he did it badly enough to scar

- red says “I couldn’t stop thinking about you, how you could have taken me with you” - she doesn’t mean adelaide ran off and left her there. adelaide made the choice to trap her in the underground. its possible red might have even been thinking how she would have let adelaide come with her if given the chance, which. i mean, i dont know how her parents would have reacted to suddenly having identical twins out of nowhere, but like. knowing there’s a chance red might have accepted her. and all this could have been different 

this is definitely a movie that’s not really intended to be fully explained, there’s a lot of questions that aren’t really supposed to be answered, but nonetheless one of my biggest concerns is where do the clothes come from underground. red tells us they were all abandoned down there generations ago so nobody’s supervising or providing anything. how do they end up with copies of the clothing their counterparts are wearing. and here adelaide has a messed up faded old shirt that either looks similar to red’s shirt or is the same shirt just badly damaged, she switches it with red’s before she goes out for good so that explains how she gets the new shirt, but where did this one come from. why is it different if the other clothes aren’t

and of course there’s the whole question of “where did they all get these red jumpsuits from” but again. questions that aren’t really the point, i guess

Sinatra and a Christmas Tree // A Jughead Jones imagine

SUMMARY: Jughead and R accidentally create a new Christmas tradition. For DASHER / day 1 of the Riverdale Reindeer Games

You giggled as you watched your boyfriend struggle to get the tree in the door from the safety of the front yard. "Some help would be nice." He snapped as he shoved. You shook your head with a smile as you walked up the steps. "What's holding us up?" He asked. "The top is stuck on the door frame, here, I'll hold this end up." He made sure you had your hands wrapped around the base of the tree before he slid into the house to pick the bottom up. You yelped as the tree almost knocked you off the porch. "You good?" He asked as you regained your hold, you could hear him chuckling. "I'm fine." You answered and in a matter of seconds, the tree was in his living room, laying on its side. You closed the door quickly and turned on the little space heater in the kitchen to warm up the home. "You need help setting it up in the stand?" You asked, but Jughead insisted he had it, you only had to bring him the scissors. He let you cut the net off of the evergreen as he adjusted the stand in the corner of the living room and asking if this side of the tree looked fullest. "The ornaments, the decorations, it's all in Jellybean's old room. I'll go grab those." "You wanna bring out your record player?" You asked him as you stood up off the couch. He stopped in the doorway, hand on the wall, smiling. "Sure, you know where it is don't you?" When Jughead came back to the living room carrying a few boxes of decorations, you jumped up to help him look through the boxes after starting the music. When he pulled the lights out of the box in one huge tangled mess, you took your time untangling them and checking to see which ones still worked. As he dug around in another box, looking for the ornaments, he asked you if you wanted hot chocolate. "Hey," he asked you from behind the kitchen bar. "Do you remember that Christmas party in 8th grade where the teachers ordered us all pizza and we watched polar express." "The one with the Secret Santa presents?" You asked and he hummed. "Do you remember what I got for Christmas that year?" He asked in a taunting voice. You sighed and hung your head for a moment before testing the lights. "A Lisa Frank lip gloss set." You mumbled. You had bought the set for Betty, who was your best friend at the time, but the gifts you wrapped for her and Jughead got mixed up. Betty ended up with the Spider-man nerf gun your parents picked out. "You know, I'm still hurt you never wore those. All of the girls in school wanted a set just like it remember?" He laughed. "You're right, I'm sure Betty wouldn't have minded if I tried on the Berry Bitty Sugarplum to see how the color went with my complexion." He handed you a mug and sat beside you on the floor. "So how long do you think it will take for the branches to lay right?" You asked. He shrugged. "No idea. Not too long I guess." You two sat in comfortable silence for just a moment, listening to Sinatra crooning. "Do you remember the year when the weather was so bad that they cancelled our 4th grade recital?" "Oh yeah. Boy Archie was bummed but as soon as Fred and Mary let him out to play he forgot all about it. I still remember sitting in his yard behind, just a wall of snow, while he talked about how I would lure Betty out and he would drag her into a snowball fight." You nodded, smiling. "But when you came out-" "I cried." "You cried when he hit you with a snow ball." Jughead laughed, leaning into you. "Archie felt so bad." "But not bad enough to not do it again ten minutes later." You added. "Oh! And the year when we had Santa come to school. You wouldn't go anywhere near him." You said accusingly. "Look," He said hopping up. "I knew it wasn't him. How suspicious is it that I see Santa Claus on the news that morning talking about going to a school over in Greendale and then he shows up at ours? One of them was lying about their true identity." You laughed and told him he was ridiculous. Jughead smirked at you before taking the lights from you. "Oh yeah, you're right, I am so ridiculous. Who was it that pitched a fit in the middle of the school field trip because they didn't want to pet an animatronic reindeer?" "Have you literally never heard the song Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer? I was not taking my chances." With the multicolored lights on the tree, Jughead asked you to pull the box of ornaments to the reclining chair next to the tree. "Have we ever had a Christmas where is hasn't snowed?" You asked him as White Christmas came on. "I don't think so. You know, I want to spend just one summer in the sunshine some day. I've had about as much snow as any sane person can handle." The ornament you picked up next looked handmade, a blue bulb with a white hand print on it, drawn on to look like snow men. "Jug, is this yours?" You asked, showing it to him. He nodded and leaned down to reach for another ornament. "Your hand was so tiny, how old is this?" "I have got no idea, to be honest. 12 years maybe?" You cooed as you hung it on the tree, Jughead sent you a playful glare. "So what are we doing for our first Christmas?" He asked. "Jug, it's our second Christmas." "The first one we get to spend together. Since last year we didn't get to see each other, I figured we could make plans for something this year." You thought for a minute before answering, "I want to go ice skating." "Jughead on skates? That sounds dangerous, kid. He has zero balance. Try again." You spun around to see FP throwing his jacket over the back of the couch. "Y'all got a tree huh?" "You want to help us decorate?" Jughead asked his dad, ignoring you snickering and asking him about his balance. "Nah, I don't want to interrupt. I am going to find something for dinner though. Any ideas?" You sat on the couch with Jughead, the record playing softly in the background as the two of you admired the tree. Well, you admired the tree. Jughead couldn't take his eyes off of you. With his arm wrapped around your waist, your head leaning against his shoulder, this was a moment Jughead never wanted to end. He knew it would soon, his dad would be home any minute with pizza, but part of him prayed to anything and everything that this feeling in his chest he got when he looked at you would never go away. He also knew they were going to have a horrible time trying to clean up the stray pieces of tinsel that didn't make it to the tree, but it was worth it to have you giggling and pushing at his arms as he draped the silver plastic in your hair. "Maybe this will be our thing." You whispered, forcing him to pay attention. "Hm?" "Decorating for Christmas. Our tradition." "Tradition huh? So does that mean you plan on keeping me around for next Christmas?" He teased. "Eh, jury's still out. Mm, we should make cookies and have them ready for when FP gets home." You suggested. He nodded and pressed a kiss to the top of your head. He smiled as he watched you stand up and turn to reach for his hand.

So hey, I'm new here and dreadfully confused. Would you mind trying to catch me up on what's going on? I understand if that would take too much time but I would appreciate a little insight to what goes on here!

Oh man, I sure can try! This blog has been around for a couple years (I think, I don’t know how to check when it was made) so a lot of stuff has happened! Of course, there is a “story” tag, which should have all the posts that have advanced the “plot” of this blog over time, in reverse chronological order. But! That’d take ages to read (and I don’t think it’d be easy to do on mobile), so I’ll try and sum it up in this one post, under the cut:

Era 1 of the Sproingtrep Blog: The Safe Room

Purple Guy wakes up as Springtrap for the first time. The Puppet tells him that he’s trapped in the safe room forever, as punishment for killing the kids. Some time passes like this, and at this point the blog was not an ask blog. That, however, was soon to change…

People started interacting with Springtrap via the ask box, mostly asking random questions (I remember one was about dancing). At some point I got this ask:

Which was what made Purple’s ghost leave the suit, giving Springtrap a consciousness and the freedom to control his own body. Unsurprisingly, Springtrap absolutely hated Purple. So now the blog had a whopping 3 askable characters, and it took place exclusively in the sealed up safe room. The Puppet could come and go as they pleased, but Spring and Purple were trapped. (Although Purple is a ghost and can phase through walls, the Puppet “ghost-proofed” the safe room so he couldn’t) They were essentially alone with each other up until someone asked about the Phantoms, and then the Puppet introduced P. Chica, P. Freddy, and P. Foxy to the duo.

Another thing that would happen a lot is other Springtraps from other AU blogs would stop by and meet Sproing, which was interesting. The Puppet can open portals between these dimensions, so the other blog universes can interact.

So then…several asks and a small comic later…

Era 2: Fazbear Fright

The Puppet decides that, as a ghost, Purple is essentially harmless so they let the Amusement Park employees discover the location of Springtrap and Purple. Springtrap is hauled away in a big truck, and Purple follows. The Phantom animatronics, however, are left behind, with only a note that tells them where everyone went. To this day, they are still lost, on some kind of bizarre road trip or something.

And, now that Spring and Purple are in a bigger and better home, the Puppet decides to open a time portal from the past and let the Toy Animatronics come by to visit whenever they want. This is when stuff started to really pick up, I think. Since the Toys are from the past, when Purple was alive, they knew who he was. Up until this point, Purple’s real name was left unknown to the blog, but Toy Bonnie mentioned it. So this is when stuff starts getting less and less canon. Purple Guy is revealed to be James.

Purple wasn’t too happy about it.

Later on we see Purple becoming a bit less of a salty dingus and he does start to try and apologize to Springtrap for using him (as the Spring Bonnie suit) to help him with the murders. Springtrap isn’t really too big on forgiving him, but he stops trying to pick a fight with him constantly. Right after all that’s done with, Halloween time rolls around, which puts us at the next bit

Era 3: The Nightmares

So after a couple of asks and a whole lot of Halloween power, the Nightmare animatronics bust out of their own bizarre dream dimension and into the real world. They start living at Fazbear Fright, and are able to answer questions. This leads to a lot of fun posts. Also, people started asking about Fredbear a lot. So, Springtrap started asking around to see if any of his current friends knew about the long lost bear. Since Springtrap was a classic animatronic, from Fredbear’s Diner, he was much older than the rest, so nobody else remembered Fredbear. That is, except for Purple, but his knowledge of Fredbear’s location was vague at best. And, since all computer and written files of the bear’s whereabouts were inaccessible, Springtrap ended up doing something completely ridiculous:

Going back in time to get the information he needed. Literally, warped back in time to when the fnaf 2 pizzeria was open (this is the Puppet’s home time, they just brought Springtrap and Purple back with them). Purple tagged along because he knew where to look for the information, much to the Puppet’s annoyance. Some weird stuff happens, and they end up getting the address for where Fredbear was sold off to. Sproing and company head back to the present day, and try and figure out a way to get to the address they found. It wasn’t easy, considering the place was very far away and the couldn’t really leave Fazbear Fright without the amusement park guards seeing them and capturing them. Sooooo they waited around for….a long time (because I went on hiatus hgjghgh)

Era 4: Current Day Dumpster Fire

So they have the brilliant idea of actually going into the security room and looking for a night guard who can hopefully give them a ride out of the amusement park and out to get Fredbear. So yeah, this happens, turns out there’s been a night guard here the whole time!! She was just hiding. So they drive out, find Fredbear, bring him home, and then this blog lit itself on fire with really bad Purple Guy art and some stuff about the Puppet not wanting people to swear. To this day, Purple’s true backstory is unknown, and the blog is nowhere near the actual story of the real fnaf lore, because I didn’t know enough about it at the time of making up all this weird story junkTL;DR: This blog is an AU blog. It doesn’t strictly follow the canon of the fnaf games or books, but rather uses them as a loose guideline. Springtrap is separate from Purple Guy, Purple Guy isn’t named William Afton, and the Night Guard is just some random girl. 90% of this blog’s “story” is just weird daydreams I have and decide to post
