[ID: a drawing of barbara stringband from major magic's rock n roll rebellion. her white neck fur is stylized to look like a goatee. she's wearing a white long sleeved shirt and a long rainbow striped vest, along with blue jeans and boots. she has a black and white guitar with white stars. she's standing on a record, with a rainbow colored musical scale with various notes on it behind her. the drawing has a bright tone. /end ID]
based on this instagram user's barbara !! just with her old guitar. she is gorgeous!
did very little today but watch the new country bear jamboree show on loop- towards the end of the day teddie’s eye got stuck and never reopened:(( hopefully imagineers will get on this and it won’t be an ongoing issue… definitely worrying that they’re already having problems on opening day
A pet peeve I have about some RAE/CEC videos that go over the history at some point is that they tend to give the impression that Showbiz Pizza Time, Inc. really wanted to get rid of the Rock Afire Explosion in favor of Chuck E. Cheese characters. But in reality, they wanted to get the rights to the RAE because they knew that they were the more popular animatronic band out of the two. But since Aaron refused and stopped working with them, they were forced to use the cast of Chuck E. Cheese instead.
Not sure if anyone’s pointed this out already, but this design was likely based on Chuck E Cheese’s character The King, an Elvis parody. Just thought that was neat!
[ID: a legs up drawing of lola leopard from circus playhouse band in a 3/4s view. she's wearing a blue hat with feathers and blue dress/shirt that's open at the chest with ruffles at the end. she's smiling with her eyes closed, a paw resting on her cheek. she has blue eyeshadow and red lipstick. /end ID]
i think about her a lot for someone who doesn't really care for the rest of those guys
“Are you dumb? Fnaf was inspired by Showbiz pizza not Chuck E. Cheese” “actually fnaf was based off of criticism of Scott’s old games saying that they looked like creepy animatronics”
Ok I’m gonna say it:
1. Yes fnaf was influenced by that criticism but it is noteworthy that Scott took some of the designs from cec/rae for the characters
2.fnaf was influenced by both Showbiz and Chuck E. Cheese
fnaf did not primarily have influence from the rock afire designs, they did take some influence from cec too

>chicken lady on the right side
>main character wearing a hat and bowtie is in the middle
oh. my. god !!!!! i got to go to the grand reopening of the country bear jamboree and even though i had some doubts (ESPECIALLY since they changed the setlist) but i adored the new show!!! the animatronic movements are so fluid and lifelike and they kept the characters true enough to the original that it still felt like the same show! PLUS i got to meet one of the bears outside :D
i’ve already been three times and i’ll certainly be going a few more throughout the day so let me know if there’s anything y’all want to see!
