#THOUGHTS;; Springtrap

[jammedmuses]

let the discourse begin [ x ]

Tisk, Tisk, you got Dissed! Funtime Freddy, Santa noticed that red stapler you stole from your co-worker's office desk last month.

“ Jokes on you! Seeing William flipping the entire office upside down looking for that stapler is WELL worth getting onto the Naughty List! ”

“ And we’d do it again! ”

-----------

There's a reason Santa created a Naughty List. And you're just one of those reasons Golden Freddy.

Literally couldn’t care less, he goes by his own moral compass and his own moral compass alone.

-----------

Santa's been watching you Springtrap, and right now you have a very large coal mine coming your way.

Tired sigh. “ ... thanks. It’ll keep me warm during Winter, I guess... ”

-----------

So far you are on the "Nice" list Millie, but you'd better watch out... Santa's checking his list twice!

“ ........ I’m 14. ”

----------

Well, Gretel, you've been a good kid this year. Santa has lots of good stuff for you this Christmas!

“ Well! I suppose that’s not too shabby all things considered, h- heh...! ”

----------

Tails Doll do you kiss your Mom with that mouth?! Santa puts kids on the Naughty List for cursing, and frankly you've got a mouth like a Sailor! Naughty List for you.

“ Fuck you! What mouth!? WHAT FUCKING MOUTH do you see on my face!? ”

----------

Now, Bendy. Santa knows you're trying, but it still doesn't make up for last year. You're on the Naughty List.

“ WELL THEN?? I GUESS TRYING DOESN’T FUCKING MEAN ANYTHING THEN??? HOW ABOUT I DON’T TRY AT ALL AND BECOME THE LEGEND AT THE VERY TOP OF YOUR NAUGHTY LIST THEN??? HUH??? ” He took this very personally.

----------

Alice Angel, you must have been EXTRA nice this year. Santa has a smiley face next to your name on the Nice List!

“ Oh, you~! I just do what I can! ”

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

Congratulations, Jinx! You've made the Nice List! JUST KIDDING. You've been a very bad, bad person.

“ Ugh... thanks for reminding me that I suck forever no matter what. ”

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

In the words of Larry David, you've been "pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good" this year Breach.

“ Of course! I make sure everything’s good and pretty in place! ” She might have misinterpreted this at some point...

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

Ho ho ho! Nice try, Banshee. Thought you could slip one past the Big Guy, huh? Naughty.

Literally starts sobbing. “ I-I’m trying the best I can--! ” How could you do this to her!?

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

Whoa Ketut! You need to start thinking about packing your bags if you don't change your ways soon. Santa is more likely to hunt you down than bring you a present.

“ He’s envious that Halloween is and will ALWAYS be 666 thousand times better than Christmas! Come at me, un-spooky old fart! ”

-----------

You'll be getting a big gift this year! A big, big box of packaged air. That's right Cubby you're on the Naughty List.

“ Oh, com’on! Actually, wait.. I can just paint a Santa Claus replica who will gift me! ” Cubby no that’s cheating, that’s exactly the kinda thing that gets you on the naughty list.

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

The world could use more people like you, Gintara. Keep up the good work, and you'll make the Nice List every year!

“ Thank you! I’m glad I’m making a positive difference! I just wish my mother would’ve chosen this path as well. She would be much happier, I’m sure. I know I am! ”

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

Iasis, Santa has something extra special for you this year! You're at the top of the Nice List.

“ Um. I mean thank you, but-- at the top of the list? Did I really earn that...? ” Come on kid, give yourself more credit.

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

Nina Blip, you REALLY put ex-lax in Santa's cookies?! Don't expect to see your name on the Nice List anytime soon.

“ Whatever, I don’t want nor need your imaginary judgmental fat ass getting stuck down my chimney anyway. ” Don’t you have anything to say about the ex-lax, Nina?

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

So far you are on the "Nice" list Bea, but you'd better watch out... Santa's checking his list twice!

“ Hey! People can’t make perfect choices every second! ”

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

Kiki, you have been sooooo nice that you make "The CareBears" look selfish.

Happy bouncing!

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

Way to help that old lady, Technum. Santa will certainly add you to the Nice List this year.

“ Well, when an ‘old program’ doesn’t run well, you should always find ways for it to run smoother instead of having it struggle until it crashes! ” Well that’s quite the analogy to “you should always help others” but it works.

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

The world could use more people like you, Spectrum. Keep up the good work, and you'll make the Nice List every year!

“ I’m sure my brother is a far better role model, but thanks. ”

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

You better start making some room for the huge lump of coal you’re about to get, or either start cleaning up your act Goose!

No. :)

It might as well use that very coal to commit arson. :))

FNAF SPOILERS! SCROLL! TALKING ABOUT THE SPRINGLOCK SCENE!

i’ve seen so many people discussing the springlock scene in both negative and positive ways and i think it brings up really cool points about how matthew played that scene and balanced fan expectations with his own characterisation.

i think the discussions around this movie have rlly exposed the disconnect between fanon and canon in fnaf, especially talking abt the core games in isolation, bc frankly in the game universe (ignoring the books) we get Very Little characterisation for William other than the obvious, but Matthew managed to add so much in the way he talks and his body language.

in the reveal scene, we see afton at arguably his peak. in his first scene, he comes off as somewhat demeaning and judgemental until he recognises mike’s name, at which point he seems to have this nervous energy, rushing to cover it up but stumbling slightly, his reaction to the tables being turned even slightly is massive.

this is a man who committed multiple mrdrs in essentially broad daylight, hid the bodies in the most obvious place, and still got away with it, and then kept the crime scene as a trophy of his actions, and an ongoing prison sentence for his victims. he has been in complete control for decades, and is confident that he can deal with any kind of threat quickly. his confidence in his reveal is palpable

it changes when vanessa shoots him. the whole parallel with vanessa and the animatronics is hugely interesting too- how william refers to the animatronics almost endearingly as “kids” when he wants them to obey, how both vanny and the animatronics have an unearned loyalty to him, almost a pseudo-adoption through what he did to them, taking them from their parents and keeping them under his thumb, forever stuck as naive, forgiving, obedient children. vanessa breaking from that control shakes him, but the mask slips back into place almost immediately.

then, he’s outsmarted by the brother of one of his victims, and the child he planned to end next. his pseudo-children turn on him and he can no longer manipulate his appearance or shed his skin to escape. he explodes on them, and his language is incredibly telling that he is being dishonest.

he calls them small, trying to belittle them into submission, even though they are ten feet tall metal animatronics powered by rage. he is grasping at straws to regain control, and failing miserably.

finally, the springlocks go off. the locks in the movie look more like a ribcage, so the first two likely puncture his lungs. they’re slow, and painful, but he doesn’t scream or beg or sob. he grunts and groans, gritting his teeth and only letting out sounds of pain that sound almost involuntary. there is no way in hell he would visibly let himself show weakness or pain in front of these creatures that he believes he has control over. he isn’t brought to his knees until there are eight metal spikes embedded in his abdomen. he doesn’t let the mask fall for even a second, until he literally PUTS THE ACTUAL MASK ON and finally collapses. even then, he’s fighting for consciousness, twitching and writhing with no control over his body. william afton thrives on control, and his soul will not rest until he gets it back.

it’s why he keeps the pizzeria- he always comes back. he can’t help but return to the scene of the crime, putting on his old costume, continuing his killings. he revels in being a constant threat on the horizon. and now, he knows he is going to die, and he knows the suit will bring him back, and noone will be able to get rid of him then. so he puts the mask back on, and waits.

in terms of the sfx- they’re pretty accurate. with stab wounds, you need to leave the knife in the wound as long as possible for best chance of survival, as it stops the blood from escaping. in terms of the springlocks, there wouldn’t be copious amounts of blood as the locks are keeping the wounds filled- which is good because it means a slower, more painful death.

GO BRITISH BOY GO

[shelbbot]

scenes that go kinda hard

[r4tfromm3rcury]

how i imagine fnaf 3 went

[spaciebabie]

i was looking at his model and trying ta figure stuff out so its easier ta draw him (and so i can have some like hole placements i follow every time instead of putting them all around willy nilly) and i thought it would be clever if there was a heart shaped hole in his chassis

[doctorsiren]

I go feral when people draw these two together

"He's kind of a sentimental guy, I guess."

[somewhatidealname]

Related to his sense of touch/feeling… Is Springtrap aware of the body inside himself or does he consider himself one whole mass? Like, some kind of cognitive separation between the outside fabric/metal part and the fleshy part? And, would it be painful for him if you were to touch the fleshy part or would you die before you get the chance? (maybe with a 10ft pole haha)

Your art is very lovely and your headcanons as well! I had a “Spring loses his memory” hc as well so it’s interesting to see the difference. Cheers!

that's a really good question and honestly something i hadn't fully considered. i would say he isn't even aware of the remains within them. like yes he's got holes in him and surely he's seen creepy crawlies make themselves at home with him (ew) but you could take off his suit's face and he'd be like wtf. he probably thinks of himself as one whole body

i think his endoskeleton is much more sensitive to touch than his outer body. more sensitive to pain? i don't know. he can feel pain from an electric shock, though. that'll rattle him for a brief period of time. and maybe if you were to try maintenance on him w/o him realizing he'd jolt from that contact

he's like a hermit crab he's being exposed....
