#i love that the trailer had so much chica in it

[glambots]

can we talk about that moment in the trailer when chica is just lying on a conveyer belt slowly being moved from one side to the other. #girlyvibes

[beloved-cat-gremlin]

To all of us hoping that Gregory will be the protag of HW2, I have found a bit of info that might help fasten that theory.

I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed these things out before. So keep that in mind when reading.

Theory rambling incoming from here on out.

So a few weeks ago I got myself this lovely book here.

And while it is just a general cookbook with some fancy recipes in it, we all know that in true FNaF fashion there is more going on here than it seems.

And boy there sure is, even if some of these are rather obvious. Because throughout the entire book there are added pieces of paper with small notes that contain info on them.

And these little straps of notes are written by none other than Gregory himself. With the notes themselves indicating that these are post Security Breach as evident by these specific notes right here:

These are very clearly written by Gregory and all tie into the events of Security Breach.

(There are a few more notes mentioning how you should always keep your eyes on the Endos, grab an Ultimate Pass from Bonnie Bowl, Chica eating from the garbage, that you should grab a Party Pass for Fazerblast and use the blaster to stun animatronics, how Moon is and I quote "a nightmare animatronic" and to keep away from the Staffbot flashlights)

But there are even more notes in the book that do not follow the events of the game but rather talk about older versions of all the characters we all know and love. And not just that but Gregory is flat out describing mechanisms from previous games. Like this note:

Not to mention the note itself is attached to an image with the FNaF 1 office.

There is also notes on how you should watch Bonnie's every move, to never take your eyes off from Foxy's hook and how Foxy's eyepatch doesn't seem to stop him from hunting intruders.

But the most fascinating, and most random note to me, has to be this one:

A note from Gregory describing Ballora. I could kinda understand that Gregory might have gotten info on the classic four animatronics via searching stuff up, but the fact that Ballora is mentioned here, and only her from SL, makes me think that this is way more important than a random little easter egg.

Because let's take a look at the HW2 trailers again? We know for a fact that the three main games featured in this new one will be Security Breach, Pizza Sim and Sister Location.

And that is the important part, because Ballora was only and only in SL and nowhere else. Heck she was even the first animatronic teased in the first HW2 trailer.

Some people theorize that Cassie could be the one we play as in HW2 because of the Foxy ride shown in the second trailer, and with Cassie mentioning that she had been on this ride before, but here we have a game that includes Ballora and could be a potential GGY prequel where we play as Gregory.

Now we have a book with notes written by Gregory, mentioning Ballora. And not just that but HW2 could be where Gregory got all the info for the older animatronics from.

We do see that the new Foxy ride attraction includes the FNaF 1 office, which could be how Gregory knows Chica's specific attack pattern and also knows more about Bonnie and especially Foxy. Because outside of cutouts and references and images in SB and RUIN there is no way that any of these kids should really know much about Foxy.

Sure Cassie might know stuff from her dad but Gregory? There is no way he could have known most of this stuff. Unless he played a game prior to SB where he did get to know about the old animatronics.

And all of this isn't even me mentioning how Gregory, somehow, managed to dig up the old news paper articles from FNaF 1, 2 and 3 and put them into the cookbook.

Heck the first note you see from him is of the first location threatened to be shutdown because of the weird odor and mucus from the OG animatronics after the first MCI! Followed by the MCI report itself:

Other articles that were included are of the original help wanted ad in the paper where they are looking for a night guard. The article about the OG pizzaria closing down. The second help wanted poster from FNaF 2 which talks about the grand reopening in 1987. And the two news articles about Fazbear's Fright opening and then eventually burning to the ground.

Not sure how or why Gregory managed to get a hold on all of these and why he decided to include them in the cookbook. But they are there.

And that's kinda all the info I found myself. I'm not the best at doing these theory things but I'm trying.

Am I maybe digging for hints where there might not be any? Possibly.

Do I however feel that this could be important clues to figuring out more about Gregory? Oh absolutely.

Five nights at Freddy's movie review

Spoiler free version:

I finally saw the FNaF movie (since it premiered here like a week later) and I really wanna talk about it.

It was fun. It's its own story that has some similarities to the games but it works well on its own which is a good thing imo.

It has a good pacing and I didn't get bored.

There are bunch of hints and easter eggs in reference to the games, like a guy is wearing a Midnight Motorist sweater or a dinner is named after Sparky the Dog, a hoax in early fnaf days.

It has violence but it's not too gory, most stuff happens off screen or in shadows.

I also liked the final solution, it was well established.

I do have 2 complains

1. I think most relationships needed more establishment.

2. One character kinda confuses me on their motive.

Overall I'd give it 4/5, though you'll get more of it if you're a fnaf fan.

And some tips. Watch it at home if you can or pick a later date. The movie theater was crowded and I think it hindered my enjoyment.

When you see Sparky's diner, pay attention to the waiter. You won't regret it.

And wait till the end of all credits.

Spoiler review under the cut

I think Mike and Abby needed a bit more time together or thinking of each other to make the scene where Mike realizes how much she means to him more impactful.

I feel like we were told rather shown she likes her brother.

Same goes for relationship between her and aunt Jane. We're told once she doesn't like her but it isn't enough to make her turn on Mike believable to me.

And finally Vanessa and William. The ending implies she's scared of him but we never are shown why.

This segways nicely into my other complain. Vanessa feels inconsistent. She starts out as a friendly police officer who knows tad too much about Freddy's and is revealed to be William's daughter.

What I got is that she vaguely warns the guards of the danger but doesn't tell them what it is. When the animatronics are friendly, she just let's Mike and Abby vibe there but when she learns Mike used Abby to get info on Garrett's kidnapper (her dad) she forbids him from taking Abby there ever again. I'm guessing this is to protect her dad.

But I think we should have had a flashback to her childhood and maybe a scene where she's terrified of going to the pizzeria but the she sees a drawing of Mike and Abby a decides to help.

But enough about stuff I didn't like and more about stuff I loved, in no particular order.

Actors are all really great and they did a fantastic job.

The opening credits are in style of old arcade games, just like in fnaf 2. It genuinely made me so happy to see it.

The cupcake mauling a man was both hilarious and terrifying. You go Carl!

The animatronics are all really expressive, especially Chica, when she smuggly sends Carl the Cupcake to murder a man or when she winks at Mike. Or when Freddy was looking for Mike and tilting his head as if he were listening.

I almost missed MatPat's cameo. I was like: "I know that voice! But from where?" And then he said: "It's just a theory!" and I almost screamed.

I love that the kids have some significance. Even if they dont have names, they still have more to do than they ever did in the games.

Also, it's exactly 5 nights at Freddy's.

1 - Mike arrives and sees the Missing kids for the first time.

2 - Mike gets scratched by Foxy and Vannesa shows up to info dump.

3 - since Max is dead, Mike takes Abby there for the first time. He cleans up the place and Abby meets her friends.

4 - Mike takes Abby there a second time, Vannesa shows up, they build a Fort and Vannessa gets mad.

5 - Mike goes there alone and the movie finale happens.

I noticed the trailer was insanely misleading. Vanessa ends up in the hospital at the end of the movie, but the trailer made it seem it happens somewhere in the middle.

CoryXKenshin cameo was awesome.

The ending credits song is Five Nights at Freddy's by TLT. Woho!!!

And after all the credits roll, we get a few letters spelling out "FIND ME" like in SAVE HIM minigame from fnaf 2.

Theories:

I wonder what happened to Garrett. Is he fully dead? Or is he possessing something, like the puppet?

I hope the next movie is a prequel, maybe told retrospectively by Vanessa while some stuff happens in the present. And the third movie can be a sequel, maybe with older Abby being a guard herself.

[d1scordantmelody]

To everyone at my showing of the FNAF movie who dressed up: you guys are the coolest. We had a Puppet, a Glamrock Chica, a Roxy, the main three, a bunch of people in casual FNAF merch, it was insane. Everyone was there for a great time and the theater was so fucking joyful I have never been happier. Spoilers under the cut.

I still have no idea what MatPat said because as soon as he said "well that's no fun" someone yelled "IT'S MATPAT" and everyone screamed

Midnight motorist T-shirt that's all.

Chicas rainbow as the ice cream logo that's all.

We all screamed at Cory too even though WE KNEW he was in there from the trailer!

SOBBED CRIED RHE WHOLE TIME ABBY WAS BEING CUTE WITH THE CORE FOUR. they're just kids man. the animatronics are just kids and they got corrupted because William is so good at what he does (sociopathy).

SPEAKING OF WILLIAM AAAAARGRRGHAGA HES NAMED AFTON HE'S REALLY THE OURPLE GUY .....

Vanessa wearing yellow btw. The little detail,

I hope that since she's comatose but was in the building when William got springlocked she gets a little headghost and we get Vanny next movie

THE SPRINGLOCK SCENE OH MY GOD?!?! AMAZING!!!!!!

Josh as Mike was awesome. I love him so much. What a cutie pie. And he was pathetic and sad the whole way through.

Golden Freddy the whole movie was amazing.

Springlock suit in the back looking like a Funtime/Baby styled animatronic??

The scooper? Okay not the scooper but the fucking Face Eviscerator 9000? Has to be a scooper analogue. Hello!!! We can tell it's some sort of murder device but William has a KNIFE why would he need that unless he needed to make his victims feel agony for remnant. Ah well, it's trapped in the secret back room with him for the next thirty years so who cares.

I don't care if it's not a perfect analogue to canon. Because I didn't want that. I wanted a FNAF but reduxed and made for the general populace. Maybe this is even the original plot for the games, an unrelated Michael or something.

Regardless, Garrett is Puppet now, change my mind, give gifts give life.

Also not sure if it's true but the end credits said "come find me"?

WAIT OH YEAH THE OPENING CREDITS STYLED LIKE THE MINI GAMES AAAAAAAUGH;!;!!!!!!!

ok I'm done now

[joshbruh10x]

Who is your favorite FNAF character?

Ohhh boy, ok I'm that type of person who if you'd ask who their favorite was, I'd weigh facts about characters and compare them only to say yeah I don't have a favorite but I adore all of these guys!!!

(this is gonna be a long read so you can scroll away rn if you wanna)

So imma explain it but it's chopped up into different parts

Fnaf 1, my favorite was most definitely Foxy. He was like everyone's favorite at the time, I never really knew why but he just clicked in my head and he was ofnwjdjsj yes

Fnaf 2, I really got used to drawing at this time so I'd usually draw Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica or even BB but my favorite in this game was The Puppet, would you believe me I dressed up as the Puppet in Halloween once, and my previous friend dressed up as BB

Fnaf 3, I didn't really play it much considering how I got stuck at night 3 but all I gotta say is Phantom Foxy, one because I was still obsessed with Foxy and two, all the Jacksepticeye memes about him

Fnaf 4 was Nightmarrione, it's design was so cool. I played the Halloween update and instead of getting scared I just gushed over Nightmarrione and how it's design was so cool

Fnaf SL dropped and even with just the teasers and trailers I instantly went crazy over Ft. Freddy and Bonbon, eheheh BONBON GO GET EM

Fnaf 6 rolled around and unlike all the other games, I've never played it before but I have watched all gameplay, lore, endings, etc. And my favorites would be Lefty or Rockstar Foxy, Lefty was like really mysterious but also pretty calm and was a nice add to the roster of characters and Foxy FINALLY had a bird partner.

We're gonna skip Fnaf AR and VR because they didn't really add much characters except skin variations and stuff

Fnaf SB Les gooo, so this is the game tht gave the animatronics more emotion and I love it for a REASON. Anyways as the trailers and teasers released, I really liked Glamrock Chica and was excited for what they would look like since this time they only posted the dark silhouettes of the animatronics on stage. So then FUNKO of course, Funko released what the animatronics looked like and then fanart started rolling in. I really then got attached to Freddy's design. Then I saw Monty and I went to my friend and was like Lmao people be simping over this gatorcrocodile/dinosaur, bet...

Few months later and I got to play the game and we can all guess what happened? BOOM GIVE THIS GATOR ANGER ISSUES AND A TROUBLED PASS WHILE HE TRIES TO HIDE IT AWAY WITH UNHEALTHY COPING MECHANISMS

You got yourself a character I'd love till my heart's content, the fact he was sorta portrayed as buff and hot was all from the fandom so him being a giant loveable himbo was just a cherry on top for the character.

Let's finish this off with a few more facts

As much as I love Monty's character, the fandom giving in made me obsessed with Freddy and somehow, Bonnie who wasn't even in the game. So creating the Fazcule ship for my 3 favorite characters was just swell

Favorite Human Character I'd have to say is Gregory or Cassidy, Cassidy is a chaotic little shit that won't leave William alone and Gregory is also a chaotic little shit that probably won't leave the animatronics alone until they are decommissioned enough.

Least favorite character? Ballora and Rockstar Bonnie

Ballora because of Fnaf SL's NIGHT 4 and UCN jfbejdnsns

Rockstar Bonnie can go fuck his guitar somewhere else

Anyways sorry for the long post I just felt like doing that lmao

[dalekofchaos]

Things I would’ve changed about Security Breach

I love Security Breach. Bugs and the shit they cut out aside, here are things I would’ve changed about Security Breach. 

Glamrock Redesigns

Glamrock Freddy

Glamrock Chica

Roxanne Wolf

Montgomery Gator

Glamrock Bonnie

Glamrock Foxy

For a better atmosphere, the Pizzaplex is closed at night, which means the power is off or to a minimal. 

Storywise

0. Gregory’s motivation. Gregory would go to the Pizzaplex because his parents and friends went missing. His parents work at the Mega Pizzaplex. However we would find out his parents went to THAT staff meeting and they were killed by staffbots and his friends appeared on the missing persons in the newspaper.

1. Actually making Vanny the threat they were advertising and building up to since Help Wanted and AR. We have like a few main appearances from Vanny and they were all very weak. Keep in the Vanny meter and give Vanny back her knife.  Even better. Use Vanny the same way Nemesis was used in RE3. Someone who constantly stalks us nd keeps coming. So constant appearances to make her feel like a big deal. Oh and while we’re at it, here is all you had to do for Vanny. How about not cutting her content from the trailers? How about not cutting the Vanny meter. How about keeping the cut lines and original jumpscare in the trailer? You know what also would’ve helped Vanny? NOT REMOVING THE FUCKING KNIFE, YOU MORONS! Like Vanny as an Afton cultist was really good and they squandered it. Vanessa being a reluctant follower had potential, but they instead removed that plotline and made Vanessa and Vanny not so different from each other. Really doesn’t make the whole “save Vanessa” ending feasible. Actually showing Vanessa as this person who wants to help Gregory escape alongside Freddy, but slowly having her mind being consumed by Vanny and the only means to save Vanessa being the Princess Quest games would’ve been much better than what we got. But if we chose not to save Vanessa altogether, we could’ve gotten a scene of Gregory reaching out to Vanessa and Vanny would only reply “There is no more Vanessa, only Vanny” and thus making us fight Vanny in the finale all the more harder.

2. The ability to save and recruit the Animatronics and Vanessa. It would work similar to saving or harvesting the Little Sisters in Bioshock. If we save Chica, Roxy and Monty, they will help us and Freddy. If you shatter them, then it goes how it does in the game, but giving us the choice to not murder Freddy’s friends. Oh and because you saved Monty and Roxy from Afton’s control, they could help you rebuild Bonnie and Foxy(it would be established there was a Glamrock Foxy, but was decommissioned due to a incident with his hook and Roxy took his place) as for Sun and Moon, I’m not sure. Maybe the Glamrocks surround him and while Gregory finds a way to free the Daycare Attendant from Afton’s control. As a reward for saving Freddy’s friends and rebuilding Bonnie and Foxy, the Glamrocks all perform for Gregory. Later the Glamrocks help Gregory down to the basement. As for Vanessa. Save the final Princess Quest game and put it in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzaplace. We play it and Vanessa will finally come to help Gregory stop Afton.

3. Lore behind Glamrock Bonnie and Foxy. At one point Bonnie and Foxy were in the band and were the most beloved members of the band. Foxy’s attraction is Pirate’s Cove, and Pirate’s Cove was renovated into Kid’s Cove to make Foxy the first Daycare Attendant. But one day, Foxy began noticing that kids were disappearing. Foxes are clever and would notice things. He finds clues that would lead him to Vanny’s room. Vanny has Foxy disassembled. Foxy would be replaced by Roxy and Kid’s Cove is left abandoned and Sun/Moon becomes the new Daycare Attendant. Bonnie is Freddy’s best friend and one day Bonnie decides to retire and pass his guitar down to his pupil Monty. Bonnie stays as a major attraction in the Pizzaplex in Bonnie Bowl. One day, Bonnie just vanishes. Vanny has Bonnie scrapped so she can use his body for Afton.

4. PJ Heywood would return to voice William. Matthew Curtis’ voice for William in the trailers is great, but honestly it’s not William without Heywood. 

5. The Blob. The main difference with The Blob is that Lefty is the head and the other Animatronic parts are from the Funtime AR services and it’s the way it is because of all the remnant/agony said AR Animatronics have collected. See this video for why I chose Lefty. 

6. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzaplace looks like it has the stage final upgrade, has the burnt remains of the Rockstar Animatronics, arcade machines and the attractions

7. Glitchtrap and Burntrap. Glitchtrap would appear on the monitors, computers, arcade machines and be in trolling Malhare mode. Hacking the Fazwatch to make hiding and surviving the Animatronics all the more difficult. Hacking the Bots to make encounters with them lethal. And everytime Glitchtrap hacks near by technology? VANNY APPEARS. Also to actually give us an indicator that we’d encounter Burntrap in the true ending, everytime we shatter or save the Glamrocks, Glitchtrap would appear congratulating Gregory for shattering them or enraged if we free them from being glitched, either way Glitchtrap will simply tell Gregory “come find me, Gregory and be sure to bring your pal Freddy, we have so much to talk about.” also a big sign that Glam Freddy could be possessed by Michael.

As for Burntrap. There are two ways we can approach this.

The Afton ending would be similar to this video to make Burntrap seem like a bigger threat. 

Only I would make it clear on what happens to Vanny. You could tie the good ending into the Afton ending which gives us Gregory, Freddy, Vanessa and the Animatronics fleeing together after Burntrap is defeated or Vanny would remain as Vanny and  we'd see her flee so to tease what happens in a possible DLC. But if you succeed in saving Vanessa, Vanessa saves Gregory and helps him defeat Burntrap and when the Glamrocks are free of his control, they save Gregory and Vanessa and it ends with Gregory, Vanessa, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Monty, Roxy and the Daycare Attendant on the hill together. 

OR. We could see the Shattered remains of Glamrock Bonnie possessed by William Afton. We’d find out through various messages that Glamrock Bonnie has taken children to Bonnie Bowl and they all disappeared. Glamrock Bonnie was the first to be infected and had William’s remnant transferred. If you noticed the cut content of Bonnie bowl, you’d notice the minigame has Bonnie looking fucking evil. More evidence that could support an Afton!Bonnie -Chica is influenced by her past lives, so why can’t Bonnie? In FNAFAR, Toy Bonnie is shown to be a spotlight hog with a big ego. Talking about fame, and how he's better than everyone else. Then from the AR emails.  It's revealed that Bonnie ate a cat. He ate a fucking cat. -In the Freddy & Friends cartoon, Bonnie is looking mischievous and shifty. Under a chill persona hiding a dark secret. -You could parallel Glamrock Freddy and Bonnie’s relationship with William and Henry. Freddy thinks he can trust Bonnie, and loves him. Bonnie is however a self centered sociopath.

One day Freddy learns what Bonnie has been doing, takes Monty with him and confronts him Bonnie tries to kill Monty, thus forcing Freddy to stop him while Monty shatters Bonnie. They hide him away in the alleys of Bonnie Bowl and never speak again about it.

We could cut the nonsense about the Pizza Place and have the final confrontation in Bonnie Bowl. We have to play the cut Bonnie Bowl minigame because it has an upgrade that upgrades our security clearance to level 12 so Gregory can track down Vanny. Gregory gets the highest score in Bonnie Bowl and Vanny confronts us and unleashes Afton possessed Bonnie. Freddy lost his memory of what happened to Bonnie after the glitch and as Gregory we have to keep hitting Bonnie with bowling balls while Freddy begs Bonnie to stop and after enough hits, Afton gets close to Gregory and is ready to kill him. Freddy remembers what Bonnie did. and decides to dismantle him. After Bonnie is destroyed, they see that Vanny’s mask is on the ground and then Vanessa helps Gregory and Freddy escape.

Third option. 

We could have a boss fight where Glamrock Freddy fights Burntrap. If you win, Burntrap will temporarily be knocked out, but reawakens but gets captured by The Blob while Gregory and Freddy escape. If we lose? Bad ending. Burntrap successfully possesses Freddy and the other animatronics. The animatronics surround Gregory while William and Vanny just smiles and Gregory’s fate is very bleak(personally I would have William recreating the bite and forcing Freddy to bite Gregory cause that’s the kind of shit William would do) and things go back to the way they were before Gregory interfered. A brand new addition to The Glamrocks. Glamrock Spring Bonnie and a newly rebuilt Glamrock Fredbear. With Vanny as the Glamrocks manager. The Pizzaplex is either never destroyed or rebuilt and the children continue to go missing.

What did he say? - Daniel Ricciardo one shot

Update: I just realized it's Carlos' birthday TODAY! I'm so so sorry hahaha I feel like a jerk, but it's just play pretend ok?

Guys, this is based on a dream I had but listen, it’s so weird cause I KNOW this is not like Carlos AT ALL. He’s kind of the vilan in this one... Please don’t be mad if you’re a Carlos fan, it’s just for fun, I swear. I’ll even try to write something with him later to make it up to you guys! Also, I clearly don't know how vacuum works in racing, so again, just humor me and pretend I got it right, ok?

As always, please take the time to let me know what you think, means a lot to me (even if it’s constructive criticism)! And thank you so much to everyone that always does! 💕 Your lovely messages always motivate me to keep writing!

Warnings: angst, jealous Daniel, kind of a dick Carlos (again, sorry! I know he’d never)

.

I was in the “side stage” at the press room for the Austin GP, the first I ever went and of course, the first with Daniel, as his girlfriend. He was answering questions along with Pierre Gasly on stage. There were a few people besides me, including some of the drivers, waiting for their turn to face the press.

"Coco, ¿quién es?" I heard Carlos Sainz whispering to his cousin, nodding his head in my direction.

"No conozco. ¿Creo que es periodista?" his cousin answered looking at me. I just acted like I wasn't listening, or understanding, not sure why though.

"No, si fuera periodista estaría allá fuera, haciendo preguntas" Carlos continued.

"Sí, pero no me parece estar perdida" his cousin commented, they kept whispering but I could hear them very clearly.

"Qué pena, no me importaría darte direcciones" Carlos said with a smirk and I felt really uncomfortable at that, which only made me stay even more frozen in place and wish Daniel came back sooner.

"Si no te conociera, diría que acabas de romper una relación. Ni siquiera puedes ver a una chica alrededor" his cousin said hitting him playfully in the head.

"¿Y te parece esta una chica cualquier? Siempre debes andar con supermodelos, ¿no?" Carlos joked back.

"Vale, tienes razón" his cousin answered him and I was counting the seconds for Daniel to come back now.

"Pero sin duda es nueva aquí. Me recordaría de algo como eso. Tampoco pienso ser americana, ellas no tienen esta-" Just then someone called him.

"Sainz, you're up next" Daniel walked out, coming by my side. "Hey" he said to me and I smiled. "They just asked to wait 5 minutes, something about changing the batteries of the mics" he said looking back at Carlos, his cousin, and Kimi, who was going to be pairing with Carlos in the press conference and was just hanging in the corner by himself this whole time.

"Alright, thanks mate" Carlos answered.

"Hey, have you guys met (y/n)? Carlos, Carlos, (y/n)... (y/n), Carlos, Carlos" Daniel made the introductions grinning like a teenager, probably finding it super funny that they had the same first name.

"¡Hola! Mucho gusto en conocerlos, soy (y/n). ¿Como están?" I extended my hand to greet them, feeling much more confident now that I had a 5' 9" Australian by my side. They looked startled at me and then at each other.

“¿Hablas español?” Carlos asked me.

“Sí, y compreendo muy bien también” I told him and my tone made it clear I knew exactly what they were talking about earlier and didn’t like it a bit.

"Carlos, Kimi, they're ready for you" an assistant called.

"Good one kid" Kimi said to me when he walked past us, winking at Daniel. Carlos followed him to the stage and since I didn't want to just stand there in the remains of the awkward situation with Dan and Carlos’ cousin, I just walked in the opposite direction, outside the press room. Not too long after, Daniel walked after me.

"Hey, what was that about?" he asked, still smiling. Boy, he wouldn't be smiling for too long after I told him what that was about.

"What?" I asked, trying not to make a big deal. He reached for my hand, taking it in his.

"You know what. Come on, what happened back there? Did you guys know each other?"

"No!" I have to tell him now, or he'll think I have something to hide. I took a deep breath. "They were talking between themselves before you come out, in Spanish. And I don't think they thought I could understand" he looked at me confused but then it hit him and his expression changed from confusion to rage.

"What did they said?"

"Nothing, it's not a big deal ok? I just wanted to let them know I could understand, so I just said 'hello' in Spanish, that's all" I said, walking away from the place where we were standing and pulling his hand. God knows I didn't want to be there when Carlos walked out, or better, for Daniel to be there.

"I figured that much. But what did he said? Just tell me" Daniel looked at me.

"Let's just go? Please? It's not worth it. What are you going to do? Sucker punch him?"

"Do I need to sucker punch him? Is it that bad?"

"No! Dan, please, let's just go. This is not going to lead us anywhere"

"(y/n)"

"I'll tell you. Promise. Back at the trailer, okay?" I tried to negotiate.

"Fine"

When we stepped back inside his driver's room, Daniel closed the door and looked at me.

"Alright. Spill it"

"Promise me you won't do anything to him"

"Absolutely not. The longer you stall me, the more pissed off I get"

"Okay” I knew I had no choice and honestly, why should I protect him really? I’m just worried about how this might make Daniel feel. “They were wondering who I was, his cousin was teasing him saying he was only interested because he just ended a relationship"

"That's not all" he said and I didn't answer, just looked away, shaking my head. "Alright. I'm sorry you had to hear that. But you can tell me these things ok? I want to protect you baby" He said stepping closer to me and hugging me.

"I don't want you to cause trouble for something stupid"

"Hey!" he said pulling away a bit to look at me. "This is not stupid. Nothing about you is stupid. It's a big deal baby, that’s plain disrespectful. I want you here with me, always. And I want you to feel comfortable here, okay?"

"I feel comfortable now" I said hugging him closer. He smiled and kissed the top of my head.

"Fuckers" he whispered to himself.

"Promise me you won't confront him. He'll deny, or start a fight. Or both. And besides, it’s not so much what he said, it’s more like how they were eyeing me. And I don't want you to get involved in a scandal" I said pulling away and sitting down in a chair. Daniel leaned against the table, looking at me.

"A scandal?" he laughed.

"You do know gossip is the major product of motorsports, right?" I smirked at him.

"Fair enough" he agreed. "Fuck baby, the things I have to deal with for having a goddess as a girlfriend" he was joking now, so the mood seemed lighter, but knowing Daniel, I knew he hadn't completely let that go yet. I just rolled my eyes at him. Hopefully, the events of the weekend would be enough to get his mind out of it.

.

.

Friday and Saturday kept us busy enough so that we didn’t touch the subject anymore, but I could still catch Daniel staring at Carlos here and there. And I could definitely see Carlos staring at me too, which I tried to avoid at all costs, staying out of his visual field. If Daniel saw that, I don’t know if I’d be able to hold him back again.

On Sunday I’d be watching from the garage with Michael and Blake, which was super exciting, to see all the action from the front row. But I didn’t want to disturb Daniel’s routine, so I tried to stay back a little. Yet, he kept coming to steal kisses and joke around. He seemed really relaxed and confident. He was P5 and I took the care to see that Carlos was P8, so I knew they might race each other eventually but I also knew that Dan would be much more preoccupied doing what he does best and overtaking the 4 in front of him to even think about whoever was behind. Everything was going to be fine, no harm done.

“Alright. Time to go” he announced to me. “Kiss for good luck?”

“Good luck. Just go and do what you do best, okay? And try to come back in one piece” I smiled through the kiss and then watched him take his helmet from the table, wink at me, and turn to walk towards his Mclaren. My chest was tight but I could only pray and hope now.

The cars were already outside the garage for some reason, so Dan was walking out when Carlos passed in front of the orange crew. He stopped to greet some of them and that would be fine, except he was not paying any attention to the people he was talking to. He was looking inside the garage like he was looking for something, or rather someone, cause when he saw me he nodded like he was greeting me and checked me out, head to toes. Dan saw it and looked back inside just in time to see me step aside, behind Michael, clearly uncomfortable with the whole thing.

“Hey... man” Carlos greeted Daniel. And his tone made me sure that it wasn’t even about me anymore. Carlos knew how much it must be bothering Daniel and was clearly using it to try and get him pissed off and unfocused. The thing is, very few things were capable of getting Daniel out of his “all good all ways” vibe, but when they did, you definitely don’t want to be on his way. I’m actually a bit worried about the other drivers now, Carlos included, because Dan just turned back to his machine, like he knew exactly what he was going to do and nothing would stop him, getting inside the car a mere formality. He didn’t even bother to take a second look at Carlos.

“Oh boy” I commented.

“Yeah, I saw it” Michael said to me. “What was that about anyway? I thought they got along fine”. I don’t say anything else, and from that moment on my eyes are glued to the screen in front of us, following any micro movement Daniel makes.

They go for the warm-up lap, which feels like it takes forever, and then, finally, Grid formation. That sign must be broken cause the lights also took hours to change.

3, 2, 1... there they go. Thank god we’re wearing masks, otherwise, my nails and fingertips would be long gone.

The first turn is a sharp one and Daniel had an opening to overtake Perez, the first driver in front of him, we could see it clearly from the drone view, but he didn’t take it. What is he doing?

“What is he doing?” Somebody in the garage voiced my thoughts.

“You had an opening Daniel” the engineer said on the radio.

“All under control. I know what I’m doing. How far are the others behind me?” Daniel answered.

I hoped he wasn’t doing what I thought he was doing but I already knew he was. Being the risk-it-all-idiot he was, Dan was waiting for Carlos to catch up to him. Knowing him, I knew he wanted to race and beat him personally, which was crazy stupid, but wouldn’t take long since Carlos had already overtaken Gasly and Alonso, and was now only a few nanoseconds behind Daniel.

“Come on Dan” I said to myself.

“Come on Daniel” Blake practically yelled at the screen.

I feel like throwing up. He’s gonna get hurt and jeopardize all the work the team put into the weekend just to... to what? I don’t even know. If he gets out of this race alive, I’ll personally kill him.

The race’s still going, no major changes after the first turn. Then suddenly Daniel seems to remember he had a gas pedal, finally getting speed in the big straight and leaving Perez behind. Carlos followed him, seeming to use the vacuum in his favor. Everybody in the garage celebrates, but I’m too focused to cheer along. He’s so close to the podium now. Just keep it up, baby. Carlos is still on his tail.

“Good job mate” the engineer says on the radio. “Watch for Sainz on your right. Bottas’ next”

“Keep me posted on Sainz’s time” it’s all Daniel says.

A couple more laps go and he’s really trying to overtake Bottas, not playing games anymore. Carlos doesn’t seem to try to overtake him even once though, he’s too far behind still.

More laps go by and I can’t standstill. When they’re in the 19th lap, with Max and Hamilton battling each other and taking turns in the lead, Daniel’s voice comes on the radio.

“Let’s be the first to box” I’m not sure what he’s playing at, as it’s still too soon to box, but the team seems to agree.

“Copy that. I’ll let you know when. Let’s get a couple more laps in. Keep this up for now” his engineer answers.

“Understood” Daniel’s voice come through the radio. “How’s Sainz time?”

“At least 1.5 seconds behind you” the engineer informs him.

“Understood” Daniel says.

He’s planning something. Not sure what, and I don’t know if I even could, not knowing much about racing strategies, but it definitely has something to do with Carlos and what happened earlier.

“Ouch!” I hear Michael say and nod towards the screen, making me focus on the race again, and not only on Daniel. Max and Hamilton had touched tires. “They're really going at it, definitely using way more tires than necessary"

"If Dan box before them..." I begin to ask.

"He needs a fast box, gaining speed later and for their box to be slower, but yeah, that's his best shot at them" Michael explains to me.

"Come on baby" I whisper to myself.

Daniel seems to finally get close enough to Bottas, but the Finnish guy won't make it easy for him. Turn 11 on sector 2 will be his best shot now and it's getting closer.

The garage and the radio go silent. Feels like the whole world is holding their breaths while Daniel smoothly overtakes Bottas from his left. And then I almost go deaf with all the cheering around me, it's a podium for Daniel, for now.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to last too long, cause once he comes to the box all the other drivers will pass him. It's just so frustrating.

"Good job mate. Spectacular time. Box now" the engineer informs on the radio.

"Box confirmed. We need to ace this, boys" Daniels says.

Not even a full minute later, I hear his car and see it on the screen. I look outside to see the orange machine with the big 3 in front of it, but I don't even have time to try and take a look at him, cause 2.3 seconds later (or at least that's what the TV tells me) there he goes again. The good news is, only Bottas passed him. The bad news is he almost crashes into Carlos when he comes out of the Pit Lane.

Some of the crew were still celebrating the fast pit stop when they realized what happened. I let out a gasp. They touched tires but Carlos seemed to have managed to get away from Daniel, quickly returning to his side a moment later but struggling to keep it up. Dan, on the other side, seems unbothered. He keeps gaining speed, even though the pit exit is right on the first turn.

"Take it easy now mate, even if Sainz passes you, his time is not enough to stay in front" the engineer informs Daniel, clearly worried that the risk doesn't justify the ends.

"Understood" Daniel responds.

We're on lap 30 now and just as the engineer said, Carlos is a full 2 seconds behind Daniel. Bottas still in front of him (which is frustrating for me because he had just overtaken him before the pit stop), then Hamilton, and finally Max.

"Daniel" the engineer calls him. "How're the tires?"

"All good"

"Good. Ready to race, mate? Hamilton's going to box now"

"Before Bottas?"

"Yes, that's confirmed"

"Understood"

I listen to the conversation between Daniel and the engineer closely, but I can't say I know exactly what the implications are.

"Bottas' going to second, Daniel to third again. Let's hope for a slow pitstop for Hamilton, so when he comes out, he comes in third and races Daniel. That's the best-case scenario, so he needs to gain speed now" Blake explains to me.

"Got it" I confirm to him. "What about Bottas? He should box on the next lap right?"

"Yeah. If Daniel overtakes him still on this lap, the difference will be too big for him to recover after his pit stop. Hopefully" He tells me.

There's a lot of 'hopefullys' and 'best-case scenarios' in this conversation, but I'll take it. I start to silently pray right away, eyes glued to the screen to see exactly what Blake predicted unfold: Hamilton pit stops, Bottas and Daniel are the firsts to go up on the positions, then Carlos, Alonso, and Gasly. The first turn comes again and Dan seises the opportunity to overtake Bottas, who, to his credit, is fighting real hard, but Dan isn't letting him take back his position.

Dan is P2 now. Max is almost 3 seconds in front of him. Hamilton comes out of the pit lane behind Gasly, it should take him long to again his positions.

"Bottas to box on this lap mate" the engineer announces.

"Not worried about Bottas. What about Max?" Daniel answers. A few moments of silence follow.

"Box confirmed for Max on this lap as well. Just get closer to him" the engineer instructs.

"Understood" Daniel answers.

"Come on, baby" I cheer silently again.

"Fuck! He's gonna make it" Michael yells. "Come on Daniel!"

Bottas is 2 seconds behind Daniel, and on the big straight Daniel manages to shorten his time difference to Max to 1.8 seconds. The next thing I know, Max is coming down the pit lane, quickly followed by Bottas. Daniel is P1. I can't believe this. Carlos is P2, but he hasn't boxed yet. Surprisingly enough, Alonso is P3 and, not so surprisingly, Hamilton is already P4 and gaining speed.

"Alonso hasn't boxed yet" Blake comments. That's bad news if we were hoping for him to defend his position against Hamilton. I take a look on the TV and they're showing the conditions of his tires, which to me doesn't mean anything.

"Will he be able to hold him?" I ask Blake.

"Not sure, he's tough though and doesn't want Hamilton to win, that's for sure" Blake answers me.

Then we hear Max passing outside, had almost forgotten about him.

"That took him longer than normal" Michael comments and we look at the screen, his pit stop was 3.6 seconds long. An eternity for the Redbull team. But awesome news for us. Bottas had already left the pit lane, his pit stop was 2.4 seconds long.

The grid is now Daniel, Carlos, Alonso, Hamilton, Bottas, and then Max. Alonso is still holding Hamilton back. Normally, I'd guess Carlos would box soon and maybe even Alonso, but since I know Carlos has some personal motivation against Daniel, I feel like he's going to hold on the longer he can and the same goes for Alonso regarding Hamilton.

We're at the final 10 laps now and nothing has changed, except Carlos is dangerously closer to Daniel now. Alonso still hasn't let Hamilton go by him, repeating the Hungaroring events. I hear the signal of the radio, indicating we're about to hear some communication between Daniel and his engineer, and my chest tightens. It's Daniel's voice that comes on then.

"Something wrong. I'm losing power" Fuck. No.

"Sainz is at your tail. Can you hold on?" the engineer asks.

"I don't know. Fuck. It's just not working. How much's the difference?"

"Less than 1 second"

"Fuck. Why hasn't he boxed yet?"

"His tires are in real bad condition. But I don't think he's going to do it now"

"I'll put some pressure on him"

"Negative. Negative. Stay away"

"Not going to touch him. Pinky promise" Bastard. I can hear the smirk in his voice, even though this is extremely dangerous and insane pressure, Daniel's still having the time of his life.

9 laps to go.

8 laps to go.

Carlos almost overtakes Daniel.

"Engine's not good. Can you do something?" Daniel asks.

"Negative. 7 laps to go mate, just hold it"

"Understood"

On the big straight of the 51st lap, Carlos overtakes Daniel, but then on the next turn, Daniel takes back his position. The sequel of turns that follows is the most nerve-wracking thing I've ever seen in my life, they're so close to each other, and at such a high speed that if they simply touch tires they would fly off the track and everything would be lost to both of them, maybe even their lives.

"Hamilton passed Alonso, mate. Watch out" the engineer informs him, and I look at the screen. Fuck.

"Fuuuuck" Daniel says on the radio.

It's the 52nd lap now, only 4 more to go and Carlos doesn't even signal a pit stop. He's going to try to make the whole race without it.

"Ferrari is not happy with him" Michael laughs a dark laugh. I knew he had a history of being stubborn but this is too much.

"His tires are at less than 10% integrity. How is he still going?" I ask.

There's the big straight again and Carlos falls a bit behind Daniel, but I've watched enough to know that that doesn't necessarily mean a good thing. Just as I predicted, he tries to use Daniel's vacuum to gain more speed and overtake him, Daniel doesn't let him through and get in front of him, making him almost go off track. That would be a "normal" movement, except Hamilton was using Carlos' vacuum in his favor and, when Carlos is forced to change directions, Hamilton hits his back left tire, which makes it blows off and it's a mess from then on.

Daniel is far from the whole ordeal by now, safe and sound, thankfully. But Carlos spins in the track, taking Hamilton with him. They both go off track and Max flies by, followed by Bottas, Charles (where did he come from?), and then Alonso.

"Are they alright?" It's the first thing that comes up to me to ask.

"Fuck! That was crazy. Is everyone ok?" Daniel asks on the radio.

"Positive. Everyone's ok. Keep going, mate. 3 more laps to go" the engineer informs him.

"Who's behind me now? Bottas?" Daniel asks.

"Max. But he's at least 2 seconds behind, we should be fine" I hear the engineer say and it's like I can almost breathe again. Daniel's going to win this thing. He's so close now.

"It wasn't Daniel's fault, was it? Can they punish him in some way for the accident?" I ask Michael.

"Don't know. He was defending his position, but he's been closing in Carlos ever since the begging of the race. Depends on how Ferrari and Mercedes spin this, they'll try anything that favors them" Michael explains to me in a worried tone.

They're in the final lap and Daniel's been clearly losing speed. Something's wrong with the engine. But it's the final lap, just a few more moments, come on baby, you can do it. Max is so close to him though, I wouldn't be surprised if the winner was declared based on the replay of the finishing line. The big straight comes up and Dan has to stay out of Max's front, so as to not give him any advantages.

I can barely see it, but at the same time, I can't take my eyes off the screen.

"Full force now mate, final sector. You can win this" the engineer says on the radio but Daniel doesn't respond. Max is right by his side, he's going to pass him.

There's smoke coming out of his car, the whole thing is going to blow off any second now. Oh my god, please just a few more seconds.

5 turns to go.

4 turns to go.

3 turns to go. Max overtakes him. Shit.

2 turns to go. Daniel wins his place on the podium back.

Final turn. Daniel's in the front, barely. They cross the finish line and the whole garage explores with cheering. There are people running outside to wave at him. I can only smile and hold my own head like it would fall off otherwise. He did it. He fucking did it.

"Woo-hoo! Yes! Yes! Fuck yes!" I can hear Daniel on the radio, screaming his lungs out.

"Good job mate. Spectacular work. First-class, really! Well done!" the engineer cheers on.

The next thing I know, Michael is hugging me and lifting me from the ground just to puck me back down and Blake lift me up again. I can only laugh at their excitement. I'm so happy for Daniel I can barely grasp it!

"Let's go!" Blake puts me down and runs outside the garage. I follow him out, to the place where Daniel is stopping the car, a bunch of smoke coming out and some people with fire extinguishers around it.

He's got his fists up, celebrating. But is still inside the car. Then he takes off the steering wheel and handles it to one of the mechanics waiting outside. He gets out of the car and stands on top of it, smokes still coming out from behind. It's a nice picture. I just hoped he got away from that thing before it explodes, but it's a nice picture, can't deny it.

Then he jumps down and run towards the crew, jumping over them, helmet still on. Everybody is celebrating and cheering, I can only laugh and clap at the scene before me. So much joy and happiness going on, the energy is amazing! Then I can see Daniel looking around, but since his helmet is still on, I have no idea what he's doing. Somebody seems to understand though and they wave at me, calling me to come closer. I approach, but I'm still unsure, don't want to get in the middle of the team's celebration. But Daniel grabs me, pulling me closer and hugging me. I just laugh, can't barely see him with the suit and helmet still on. He's saying something, but I can't understand a thing.

"What?" I laugh at his attempts to communicating with me. He opens his helmet visor and repeats.

"I fucking won baby!" He yells laughing.

"I know! I know! You won Dan! I'm so proud! You're the best baby!"

"I need to get this thing off" he says struggling to get the helmet and the balaclava off, when he finally manages to do it, he jumps over the fence that was separating us and hugs me again, lifting me in the air and kissing me deeply, making everyone around us cheer even louder and I smile against his lips. I wrap my legs around him and he keeps kissing me, only after a few seconds do I pull away to breathe and he touches our foreheads. I laugh again, just enjoying the feeling of pure happiness for him.

"I'm so proud of you. You were so good. This is crazy" I whisper to him.

"Get used to it, cause there's more where it came from" he answers kissing me again.

The Glamrocks

Remember when this was teasing Security Breach? The game has sure come a long way since then. On the far right we can assume is Roxxane Wolf. She looks so different from her current design. Like, where’s her tail? And is she wearing an actual skirt? The Glamrock’s do not wear real clothes in the game. It’s either painted on clothes or the clothes are a part of their animatronic suits. Next to Roxxane we have Monty. Again, far from his current design. He kind of looks unrecognizable and if you’re not paying attention to the details. You might think he’s a different animal as to me, he looks like a wolf. Next to him is Glamrock Freddy and once again he looks very different from his current design. In the teaser he seemed to retain his roundish-cartoony look from past games. His top hat is the normal size while in SB it was shrunken down. Like with Roxxane, he seems to be wearing actual clothes. My bet he’s wearing a business jacket, but it was going to match the 80s vibe. And finally, there’s Glamrock Chica and she looks no different. The chicken probably had the least changes throughout the development of the game.

I greatly love Glamrock Freddy’s final design, especially at how simple it is. His orange color suit works well with his red and blue face paint along with the blue lightning bolt going down the middle of his chest. The red shoulder pads further emphasize the Glamrock look along with his red forelegs, which can safely be assumed to be leg warmers. Glamrock Freddy became instant favorite character by the fandom even before the game was released. The trailers showed him how caring and protective he was towards Gregory. People were already depicting his as Freddy Dadbear in their art. When the game did come out, it only made the fans love him even more. He’s so kind and always apologizing for things he really doesn’t need to apologize for since he never does anything bad. One detail I like if you try and take him into the Fazer Blast arena. Glamrock Freddy will scold Gregory like a dad who’s a stickler for the rules. I hope we see more of Glamrock Freddy in the future. GF is the kind of character we would all love to have as a friend.

Roxxane Wolf, another popular character for reasons that aren’t as wholesome as Glamrock Freddy, but I won’t judge. Roxy is not the first wolf animatronic to appear in the franchise but is first one to feature in a mainline entry. Roxxane’s design REALLY emphasizes the 80′s rock band style more than the others. Her long wild hair with a streak of it dyed green, red crop top, red shoulder pads, red shorts, and tiger patterned arm/leg warmers. Her instrument being a keytar is the most 80′s thing ever. However, I can totally see her being the drummer of the band if there was one. Being a drummer is fast paced which fits Roxxane as she has a racetrack and she’s the fastest of the Glamrocks when it comes to chasing Gregory. A unique aspect of the character is she has major insecurities. At some point in the game, you can catch Roxy crying and calling herself a loser to her own reflection after she fails to capture Gregory. Really shows us how the Glamrocks are more ‘alive’ than past animatronics since they’re not possessed including Glamrock Freddy. It is a shame we could never free the Glamrocks from the hack that was afflicted upon them by Glitchtrap and Vanny. 

Monty holds the honor of being the first animatronic to be based off of a reptile. His design is similar to Glamrock Freddy’s mainly because they share the same animatronic suit but just painted with different colors and Monty’s legs were painted to look like he’s wearing pants. Though the obvious differences are the tail, head shape, the awesome red mohawk, and gator face. Not much is known about Monty as he has very little lines of dialogue and he only appears in a few areas in the PizzaPlex. Though we know he’s the most aggressive of the Glamrocks because in a note it says the gator likes to break open fences which explains the signs on some of the gates that have an icon of Monty with a cross symbol over it. Plus, at the beginning of the game we can hear him trashing his room. When it comes to his role in the band, Monty is the bass player. I think him playing bass fits well with the jealously he has for Glamrock Freddy. In the mini-golf arcade game. The last course has GF in the trash while Monty is taking center stage in the band. Showing us, he wants to be leader. Monty is theorized to be the one who killed Glamrock Bonnie so he could take his place in the band. However, I’m on the fence when it comes to that theory. I won’t say much on it as I want to wait for more details on it. If it ever does get expanded upon.

Strangely enough, Glamrock Chica has a more 70s look than an 80s one. Though that doesn’t mean her design isn’t any good. It’s actually my second favorite. It’s obvious by her instrument being the guitar that Glamrock Chica is the lead guitarist of the band. Like past incarnations of the character, GC loves pizza. Though her options have expanded to other kinds of junk food like burgers, nachos, cookies, and fries. Ironic since she promotes fitness, and her area is called Mazercise. Though in-game we find the chicken eating garbage because of the hack. It’s unclear if Glamrock Chica is able to eat food or is programmed to think she’s eating food when in reality she isn’t. I guess it’s just one of those things to not think about too much. By now we know Glamrock Chica is getting a DLC called Chica’s Chowda. Right now, it’s not known what kind of DLC it’s going to be. My best guess the PizzaPlex will get a new location added to it since there’s no point for Steel Wool to make an entire new building for the player to explore. 

[movedtodykedvonte]

I love Security Breach but I don't get why they changed so much of the game/scrapped a lot of the stuff from the original trailers.

To be honest, the trailers and teasers made it more dramatic than it is, scoot aside the glitches and bugs. Vanessa wasn't a total ass and Vanny is more significant. Moon looks like more of a problem than running around when it's lights off. But most importantly, it tells us it's more connected to the original games.

Then another, SB looks like it doesn't follow the original lore? It feels more like an alternate universe where the enterprise is just accident prone with easter eggs from the old games instead of a guy secretly murdering children with a restaurant

Then ANOTHER, the fandom showed symptoms of clown when they made Steel Wool rush the game only to shit on the mistakes they made from being rushed. I feel like Roxy and Monty's "boss battles" would be as interesting as when Gregory was dealing with Chica. Hell, I think after Chica's part that's when the game starts to lose quality.

Then yet AAAANOTHERR, I'm glad Scott retired. This franchise is on LIFE SUPPORT from getting milked so much. Scott deserves to rest after draining both the games and himself

One last

The only fnaf games that are interesting to me are fnaf 1, help wanted and SB

So much was changed, like remember the screen shots and concept art where Monty was like climbing on the sealing and using his bass as a fucking mallet??? Why the hell did they cut that??? People really should’ve sucked it up and waited. We would’ve had a much better game.

Also Scott doesn’t deserve rest, I’m only glad he retired cause man donated to homophobic, transphobic and racist politicians (max donation amount mine you) knowing his series was comprised of a lot of people who fell into those affected categories. It’s such an insult to use the money people gave you to support ur work and their interest to fund someone that wanted to take away their rights.

Best Friends; Matthew Gray Gubler

a/n: THE AMOUNT OF SERATONIN THIS GAVE ME WAS INSANE IM CRYING OMG

description: you’re a makeup artist and mgg is just...outgoing.

K BUT IMAGINE BROS

You’re just a regular ol’ makeup artist (and in this fantasy world, makeup artists are TRAINED TO DO MAKEUP ON POC BECAUSE THEY ALREADY SHOULD BE). It’s season 13 of Criminal Minds and this is your first time working on set because the show you’d been spending the majority of your career on just ended.

You had met the cast and crew at the start up party a few weeks ago, but this was the day. The pressure was on. (Not really, it’s just makeup lol). Anyway, so you’d already set up in the makeup trailer alongside the other artist. Today, scenes were going to be filmed just in the Bureau, so no gore. You doubled checked your list just before 5 am, ready to cross off each actor and actress you were assigned.

“You nervous?” You heard the other stylist, Henry, ask you.

You turned to him, setting down your clipboard. You leaned against the counter and crossed your arms over your sweatshirt clad shirt. You were dressed down because it was so early- a Disney sweatshirt, jeans, slip on Vans, and your glasses instead of your contacts.

“Yeah, a little bit,” you chuckled.

Henry grinned at you, “Don’t be, hun. They’re all really great people.”

“I know, it’s just- I just feel awkward at first, grabbing people’s faces. I know I’m trained for it, but it takes a bit to settle into with new people,” you explained yourself, wiping your sweaty palms off on your jeans.

Henry opened his mouth, but a series of knocks resounded off of the door. You both turned towards it before Henry said, “It’s time.”

You giggled at his dramatic spectacular, turning to wash your hands as Henry let in the first cast members. Aisha and Joe stepped into the trailer. They greeted you with open arms, wide smiles, goofy jokes and polite goodbyes. You felt giddy, high, almost, when they walked out the door.

“So?” Henry asked as you both began to disinfect your areas.

“I feel so much better,” you grinned, folding a towel in half.

The rest of the cast flew past, already making great companionship with you. Henry, too, continued to get to know you between eyeshadow brushes and hairspray. Finally, the last person knocked on the door. It was nearing 6:30 AM, and you were somewhat tired. You yawned into your palm, sighing gently as Matthew Gray Gubler walked in.

“Hello, lady and germ!” He bounded to his chair, the biggest grin on his expression, a coffee cup in hand, and the other shoved into his character pants.

You jumped somewhat in surprised and he laughed at you. “You’re new.”

“Yeah, hi, we met at the party, Y/N,” you reached out your non-yawn hand and shook the one he pulled from his pocket.

“Ah, yes, I remember well. You were wearing very pretty eyeshadow. Green, right? It reminded me of Elpheba, but it definitely brought out the flecks in your eyes,” he rambled on, unashamedly and confidently.

Additionally, he barely made eye contact, it was more here and there as he busied himself with sitting down and crossing his legs. When he was settled, he met your eyes firmly and looked you up and down.

“Except now your wearing glasses.”

Henry laughed at your deadpan expression. Matthew chuckled lightly, too. Henry spoke, “She’s new, remember? Very talkative, but new. And tired, I guess.”

You nodded slightly, “Yes to both. Overwhelmed a little. I like the effort, but I’m not used to your energy. Give me ten minutes, and I promise I’ll get distracted from doing your makeup because I’ll be exchanging sarcastic remarks.”

“Only my character is a profiler, but I can see it,” Matthew spoke and took a sip of his coffee. He then reached to set it down on the makeup counter before hesitating. “Do you have a coaster?”

“Wait, yes, I do! I made sure to bring some just in case. At my old job, we constantly had people leaving rings of coffee on the counter.” You rushed over to your tote bag, which was set on the couch. You rummaged through it as Henry spoke to Matthew, messing about with his hair.

You found the coasters your sister had hand-painted, which ranged from pumpkin to dinosaur designs. You held them out in front of Matthew, who pulled his head from Henry’s hands to look at them.

“Oh, my Gosh! Pumpkins! Defintiley pumpkins!” He pointed excitedly at the coaster in your right hand.

You giggled and set the coaster onto the counter. Matthew thanked you as you politely took his cup and placed it on top of the design.

“I take it you’re a fan of Halloween?” You spoke as you set the others down beside your makeup supplies.

You sat down in the seat beside Matthews, awaiting him as he got his hair done.

He hummed in response, “It’s my favorite holiday.”

“My birthday is two days prior,” you bragged lightly.

Matthew gasped, turning his head to you. “No way! Oh, we are so totally throwing the best Halloween slash birthday party bash this year, then.”

You flushed at his excitement. “You barely know me.” You laughed somewhat.

Matthew shrugged as Henry frustratedly pulled his head back forward. “Stop moving!”

“We’ll be best friends by then, I guarantee it,” he stated.

“Really? Well, shouldn’t best friends know each other’s favorite colors. Favorite foods, movies...”

“Purple, everything except for plain bread, Hocus Pocus...or-“

“No! No ‘ors.’ Final answers only,” you adjusted your glasses and leaned forward.

He looked at you from the corner of his eye and smiled like he had been played. “Hm. Okay. Hocus Pocus it is then.”

“Of course it’s a Halloween movie,” you giggled.

Matthew grinned at that. “Let’s year yours, then, bestie.”

“Okay...” you sighed, tapping your chin, “pink is my favorite color. I love sushie and every other food, but specifically Chinese food is my favorite. And...I can watch Edward Scissorhands like it’s nobody business.”

“Ugh! A classic! I love that film!” Matthew exclaimed.

You nodded enthusiastically, “Yes! I’ve loved it since i was literally a child. My mom says it’s creepy, but I disagree. It’s beautiful. The themes and symbolism are beautiful. Ugh, plus that ice sculpture scene? Unbeatable. Winona Ryder does such a wonderful job portraying innocence which turns into wicked obsession... and Johnny Depp is just gorgeous...”

You trailed off as you realized you were rambling and Matthew was staring at you with sparkling eyes, a slack jaw, and the lightest imprint of his dimples.

“Sorry,” you scratched your leg, practically falling in on yourself.

Matthew scrunched his nose as Henry sighed. “All done. Your turn, chica.”

You stood from your chair and brushed your hair behind your ears. Matthew took your spot, wriggling in it. “Thanks for making it so warm.”

You smiled as you washed your hands. “You welcome.”

Henry touched your shoulder to gain your attention. “I’m going to go get coffee. Want some?”

“Uh, tea, please. Green, with two sweet n low packets,” you listed off.

He nodded and turned to leave. “Thanks so much!” You shouted as he left.

Matthew watched you through the mirror as you began plucking through your materials. You got to work, feeling all flustered now that you were up in his business.

When your hands moved to his face, he hummed. You furrowed your brows and pulled back somewhat.

“Sorry. Your hands are pleasantly warm. I knew that they would be because you’re just very bubbly, but it was still surprisingly wonderful,” he folded his hands in his lap.

“I like the way you talk,” you blurred out. You pursed your lips and looked away from his eyes, continuing to work on his foundation.

“I like the way you blush at everything,” Matthew echoed.

You blushed again. “Sorry. I’m just-“

“Not very outgoing. I can tell.”

“I thought you weren’t a profiler?”

“I’m not. But I’m super duper outgoing, so I can tell when others aren’t. You’re bubbly, but it takes someone who shares your personality to get it out of you,” he rattled off as if he were an expert.

“You seem to know me very well now,” you laughed gently.

“Guess were best friends already, then.”

You leaned back, propping your hands on your hips. “I think we’re, like, soulmates.”

Matthew quirked a brow, “I guess so? But why do you think?”

“Look at your sweatshirt,” you tugged on your own.

His eyes flickered from yours to his. His eyes widened and his jaw went wide. “Oh, my gosh! No way! We have to document this moment on camera.”

“Really?” You giggled as he stood, towering over you.

“Yes! Henry, come quicker!”

The door had swung open when Matthew stood, and Henry ran up the steps. “What’s wrong?”

“You have to take our picture,” Matthew exclaimed, swinging his arm around your shoulders and holding you flush against his side.

Henry looked you up and down and finally noticed your sweatshirts. “Oh, my God, you’re, like, totally mean to be. Let me get my phone.”

After a photo session consisting of many different poses (silly faces, Matthew squishing your cheeks, tugging you onto his back, nearly falling over as he swung his leg into your arms) you finally got him sat back down in his chair.

“Let’s tackle these eye bags.”

Word Count: 1.9k

You know you’re not supposed to get close to the ghosts since their line of work is so dangerous, but you can’t help but fall in love with one of them. Being “Zero” means the ghosts are your top priority. But when you almost die putting them first, a certain blond wants you to rearrange those priorities.

[A/N]: I was literally overwhelmed by the amount of feedback on Part 1, I literally love you all!! This is basically me giving you guys closure from the last part. The next part is gonna have a shit ton more action and is hopefully going to end with fluff. Enjoy, lovelies!

“You two are fucking impossible!” Your eyes fly open to One yelling at someone but you don’t dare move, taking in your surroundings. 

You were resting your head on someone’s lap and they were gently running a hand through your hair. Four. You’d know those hands anywhere. You’re on your left side in the backseat of what should be the car you, Four, and Three had arrived at the garage in. The rest of your body is on another lap, no, two more laps. One was in the passenger’s and judging from the height and stature of the driver, it was Three. Which meant Five and Two were in the back with you and Four. Six always refused to sit in the backseat. Oh god. Six. You nearly throw up at the thought of him being in the trunk, zipped up in a bag.

“One, you’ll wake her up—”

“What’s the first rule about being a ghost?” He asks Four, ignoring his concern towards you. “Don’t get attached. What did you idiots do? Get attached!” Fuck One, keep it down. Your leg is still stinging from all the peroxide and something is binding it, but it hasn’t been stitched.

“We’re not attached!” Four’s voice falters, and you’re pretty sure everyone hears it.

“I don’t know about her because she is very good at hiding her emotions,” Apparently not from a former CIA spy, you think, “but the entire team has seen the way you look at her. You’re. Attached.” What? What is he talking about?

“Am not,” Four tries, but One has already made up his mind.

“You held her hand like she was in labor or some shit.” He held my hand? Also, fuck you, One. I’ll stick a knife in your leg and see how well you fare.

“One, it was deep,” and “You’re really not capable of emotion, are you?”, is what you hear from Two and Four at the same time.

“She can handle it,” he dismisses, but is immediately interrupted by Two.

“I swear to god, if I hear you talk shit about Zero one more time, I will use you as a shooting target.” 

You laugh softly, slowly turning on your back and startling the Two, Four, and Five. “Don’t worry, Two. We all know he loves me,” you direct towards him, sarcasm practically dripping from your voice. One turns around, cocking an eyebrow, to which you just stick out your tongue in response. A slight chuckle escapes Four and you look back up at him, trying to figure out what was going on behind those emerald green eyes.

“Attached,” you hear One mutter, but before you can start arguing with him, Three starts talking.

“How are you feeling, chica?” He adjusts the rearview mirror to get a better view of you and you smile in return. 

“Better. How am I doing?” You ask nobody in particular, glancing at your leg. Duct tape? Huh. 

“You’re fine,” Five forces a smile, and you practically roll your eyes.

“Really, Five? Did you forget you’re bad at fooling people?”

“That easy to read, am I?”

You shrug. “I’ve been watching a lot of Criminal Minds lately. Not to mention I live with a former CIA spy. Fuck, I forgot! How are you?” You look at Two, and she smirks.

“Better than you.” You grin at her response but glare at Five, still expecting an adequate answer.

“You’re going to need a transfusion eventually—”

“and I have O Neg,” you finish for her. “Plus, we don’t have any blood, which I have been telling One for months—”

“I didn’t know the mission would go this badly,” he retorts, causing you to flinch. Before Two can pull out her gun, Five quickly regains control of the conversation.

“I checked our files and it turns out Four has O Neg too. I’m going to set him up for a transfusion when we get back on the jet.” 

Thank you, you mouth, to which he nods. One mutters something you can’t quite make out, but you don’t have the energy to continue arguing, so you just drop it. The rest of the ride is silent as you doze off once again to the bumps on the road, thinking about a certain blond-haired, green-eyed Brit.

A pair of hands shake you awake and you moan in annoyance, wrapping your arms around Four’s torso. 

“Zero, wake up. We’re here.” The statement causes you to sit up in confusion, seeing a harbor instead of the usual desert. 

“A slight change from trailers and abandoned planes in a desert, don’t you think?” You ask Five, who’s motioning you out of the car. Her smile falters and before you can ask why, you remember. Six. You guys had to dump Six. Shit, how out of it were you? “Sorry,” you mutter to Four, realizing all the discomfort you must’ve caused him

“You’re fine, love,” he yawns, stretching his arms. Fuck, his sleepy voice was hot. Getting out of the car with Four and Five’s help, you rest against the closed passenger door on your good leg. Your senses pick up the strong scent of raw fish and yelling of angry fishermen as you shield your eyes from the sun that was about to set.

“Does she give good roadhead?” You hear One ask Four as he closes the door. You just roll your eyes as Three and Give give him annoyed looks but Two smirks. Four clenches his jaw, shooting One a look and motioning for your arm. You gratefully put your right arm around his shoulder, using him as a crutch. Eyes following One and Three as they walk over to the back of the truck, your lips purse. Four seems to notice and slowly starts walking towards the dock, causing you to as well. 

Once you two are far away enough from the team, you mutter, “It still hasn’t hit me.”

“I know, Zero. I know.”

Fuck, how far out were you guys going? It had been at least thirty minutes. Probably closer to the airstrip now. 

One and Four were on the higher deck piloting, although you could hear snippets of him lecturing Four, as if he hadn’t heard enough in the car. Your eyes sweep the boat for Two and Three who you find near the front, chitchatting. There was something there. No, they weren’t fucking, but as sly as two thought she was, you had noticed the lingering touches and increased time they spent together. 

“Zero, you need to get some rest,” Five tells you gently, pulling up a wooden crate to sit next to you. 

“That’s what I’ve been doing,” you snap suddenly, immediately feeling bad when you see her flinch. “Sorry. I just hate being told what to do. It makes it worse when whoever’s telling me is right,” you motion from her to your leg. 

She smiles and leans forward, resting her forearms on her thighs. “I know. And that’s not such a bad thing either. It’s one of the main reasons you’re here.” You nod, casting a look back at Four. His hands were crossed across his chest and was deep in thought; him and One had stopped bickering. 

You turn back to Five, contemplating what you were about to ask her. “How does he look at me?”

She smirks, glancing from Four to you. “You two would be the cutest couple,” she exaggerates, putting both hands over her heart. You laugh and push her shoulder. “But in all seriousness, Zero, he looks at you like…” she trails off, looking around as if she was trying to find some inspiration. “He looks at you like you’re his ocean, and he’s begging to drown.”

Your heart skips a beat at her words and you steal another look at Four, wishing you were in his arms. “That was good,” you say in an attempt to regain your posture. Fuck, the things he could do to you without him even knowing. “Where’d you read that?” She scoffs and you can’t help but grin.

The boat starts to slow down and you take a look around. Offshore enough so you can still see the coastline, but far enough that he would sink and not be pushed to shore. 

Five gets up, offering a hand which you gladly take. Limping over to the side of the boat, you sit on the ledge and watch as the team pulls Six’s body bag out from some crates where he’d been hidden, hoisting him up onto the ledge. Two unzips the bag just enough to see his face and from your angle, some heavy rocks so he wouldn’t float up to the surface. Blinking rapidly so as to not let tears form, you gently lean over, brushing his hair to the side and press a soft kiss to his forehead.

“See ya later, M,” your voice breaks. M was the first letter of his name and the nickname you had given him when you got tired of calling him Six; One had nearly killed you.

You don’t know how long passes but eventually, Three zips up the bag and the team throws him into the water. One leaves, probably getting alcohol for a toast, and the entire team stands in silence. Four comes up and leans on the ledge next to you. You’re starting at the fast-approaching sunset, wondering how the hell the world just kept on spinning, how people just kept on going.

One returns with—you had guessed correctly earlier—champagne and six glasses. Six glasses. How ironic. He pours everyone a glass then sets the bottle on a wooden crate.

“Here’s a toast… To a kid I really liked.” Everyone puts their glasses up but nobody bothers to clink, presumably too focused on Six. One, Two, and Four down their glasses while Three just sets his down and Five swirls hers around. You haven’t even looked at what brand champagne it is, much less drank it, which is odd of you.

 “What was his name?” You hear Five ask. Nobody answers, not even you.

“Did he have any family?” Two crosses her arms.

“I think you’re looking at it,” you tell her, still not having touched your drink. “How long until we get back?” You ask suddenly, startling everyone. For some reason, you just had the overwhelming urge to get the hell out of here. 

“Forty-five minutes to the airstrip and it’s a five hour flight from there,” One responds, starting to walk towards the upper deck. The entire team disperses, leaving just you and Four.

“Drink it,” you hear him tell you softly, nodding to the glass when your eyes fall on him. “It’ll help with the pain.” You give him a half-hearted smile and take a sip as he returns to scanning the horizon.

The sunlight fell on him perfectly, highlighting his striking green eyes that you loved with all your heart. Tufts of now orange-golden hair were blocking his view, but he didn’t seem to take heed. 

God, you had fallen hard for him. Did he really want to drown?

we have always played for keeps

[title] we have always played for keeps

deputy x sharky, deputy x faith, deputy x sharky x faith. oc Deputy Grace E. Holmes, Sharky Boshaw, Faith Seed. Sharky discovers something about his best friend Grace which leads to one of the best moments of his life.

@nihildep

Happy Holidays Laura! Hope you enjoy the fic!

Oh shitty shit, he’d really gone and done it this time. Sharky sat there staring at Grace, his hand rubbing behind his neck, with a slight blush crossing his cheeks.

“I uh… Dep let’s just pretend that didn’t just happen.” He tried to back-peddle but it was too late. He knew that.

Why did he have to go and mess things up? Everything was perfectly normal a few minutes ago, and then he went and royally fucked up.

They had taken out a few Peggies and were joking just like any other time. Then she smiled that uniquely Grace smile and he just couldn’t help himself. He leaned forward and kissed her.

At first it was perfect; it felt so right, just like every other aspect of their friendship had been since they’d first met at the trailer park.

Then the kiss ended and they just sat there staring at each other. In true Sharky fashion, he hadn’t thought about what would happen next and now things were super awkward.

Before he could say anything else, she just looked at her watch; a look of worry crossed her face before she bolted with a quick, “I uh have to go, Shark.”

“Yeah, yeah, of course,” were the only things he could say in response. He stood there for a few minutes staring at where Grace had just been. Finally, after a shake of the head - as if he were trying to erase the past few minutes like an etch-a-sketch - he made his way back to his truck.

Once in his car, he turned on some Disco, nice and loud. Times like this called for some good ol’ Donna Summer, turned up as loud as he could stand it.

Driving and bumping his tunes he nearly missed the car Dep had left in, on the side of the road riddled with new bullet holes. It was off to the side as if hidden; yeah, shit looked hella sketchy. And he’d be damned if he was gonna let some Peggy-trash hurt his best friend. What just happened didn’t mean shit when it came to their friendship.

Once he got close enough to the car, he could see her footprints lead into the forest. As he got closer he could hear the low and soft voices of two people. With a deep breath, he gripped his flamethrower and headed in; ready for anything.

Well, not anything.

Faith friggin Seed was standing there. As he prepared to flame her, he realized she wasn’t tormenting or drugging Grace but hugging her. More than that, Grace had her wrapped in her leather jacket.

His mouth sagged and felt like it was gonna hit the floor.

“Grace, what the hell? She got you messed up on Bliss or somethin’?”

The Deputy looked at him in shock.

“Sharky? No, don’t hurt her!” She said as she stepped in front of Faith.

After another confused look at Grace, he took a longer look at Faith.  Her face was contorted in a look of fear so different from the calm and serene Siren he had seen before. She was bleeding from a fat lip and her eyes were wet and swollen from crying; a few fat tears still made their way down her cheeks.

He slowly put the pieces together in his head. Grace’s protectiveness, Faith’s new demeanor, and the fact that their hands were tightly wrapped around each other.

Oh. Oooh. Yeah, of all the reasons the Deputy would turn him down, this one certainly hadn’t crossed his mind. Okay, maybe once or twice in a fantasy, but he definitely never thought it would happen for reals. Then again, he never thought he’d be fighting a bunch of cultists either, so…

“I love her, Shark.” Grace said with a calm finality that left no room for arguing, not that he would.

Then Faith spoke up, her voice much softer then Grace’s but still as melodic as he remembered.

“I love her too. I know you have no reason to trust me, Charlemagne, but it’s true I left Edens Gate for her.”

“We had arranged to meet up so I could get her to safety; that’s why I left so quickly earlier…” She trailed off for a minute. “Anyways, the Peggies caught up to us and ran us off the road. They’ll find us soon.”

He was still trying to process this new information and yet he knew he believed what she said. He didn’t know why; maybe it was the way Faith looked at Grace or the way she squeezed her hand tighter after her confession. Either way, he knew he believed her and decided to trust her.

“Sharky?”

Grace’s tentative question and the shouts of cultists in the distance stirred him from his inner thoughts. His face hardened and he turned on his flamethrower.

“What can I do to help, Dep?” They were ride or die; he’d come through for her until the end of the world.

Grace smiled at him; a twinkle in her eye that reminded him of their kiss and sent a flutter through his stomach.

“We need to get out of here and my car is totaled.”

“Right, follow me, chica - I mean chicas.”

As they reached his vehicle, he opened the door for Faith. At that moment the Peggies reached them and the bullets started flying.

With a short look at Grace, he ran to the driver’s seat as she jumped in back behind the mounted gun. He threw the car in gear and hauled ass down the road.

They sped through Hope County; all the while, Grace kept the gun on the encroaching enemy. At one point they came across a civilian car going the other direction; Sharky had to swerve out of the way to miss hitting them. The motion caused Grace to grunt and Faith to gasp in fear.

Sharky looked over; her right hand was grasping on the door tightly. Her face was pale; the tears were running freely now.

“She’ll be alright; she’s the strongest person I know,” he said.

Faith nodded in response; the smallest quirk of a smile lifting one side of her mouth, though she didn’t stop crying.

On instinct - he hated to see a lady cry - he reached his hand out for Faith. As she cautiously placed her delicate hand in his, he felt a protectiveness for her overcome him.

When he started driving a little less hectically, he noticed she had stopped crying.

“She loves you too, you know. And I can see why.” Faith said quietly.

He almost didn’t hear, and didn’t really know what to say so he replied with a squeeze of her hand.

After some time, they threw the cult off and without anywhere else to go, he took them all to Moonflower Trailer Park.

The sun was setting and Sharky needed a beer.

Grace hopped from the back of the truck and ran up to help Faith out. They hugged and kissed fiercely.

Sharky turned to leave. “I’ll uh give you two some privacy.”

Before he could walk two steps, he felt those same delicate fingers around his wrist.

“Wait, we don’t want you to go, Charlamagne.”

For the second time in mere hours, he felt his mouth gape open in shock at Faith, then he swiveled over to face Grace. She had that look in her eye again, a sweet smile gracing her perfect lips.

“Yeah, we definitely want you to stay with us, Boshaw. We have some unfinished business.”

 Grace grabbed his other wrist and pulled him closer to the two of them. She kissed him first; it was like the last one but better because there was no awkwardness afterwards, as it was followed with a kiss from Faith. That kiss was different, not as comfortable as he was with Grace, though it still felt right.

This entire moment felt right; like everything in his life had led him to this exact moment.

He had to take a moment and even pinched himself to make sure that this was really happening. It felt just like a dream or one of his many fantasies. Really though, it was the ultimate fantasy; he actually didn’t think he was capable of coming up with something so perfect in his head.

Faith was beautiful - that was obvious - she had that voice that could captivate him instantly, and they shared an intense love for their Deputy. How could he not love Grace, his best friend and confidante? He’d only known her for a couple of months and yet, she felt like home.

As the two women began to take his clothes off, he let his brain stop wondering, wanting to put all his efforts into pleasuring the two of them. They certainly deserved it after the day they all had.

Some time later, Sharky untangled himself from the mass of limbs as he awoke. One small delicate hand clung to his chest from behind, while a strong tattooed leg over his hip pinned him down.

This had to be the craziest twelve hours of his entire life. And that was really saying something, considering the shit he’d seen over the past few months.

He looked down at the two of them, who began to cuddle after readjusting to his absence. With a huge smile on his face, he felt a strong conviction within him. No matter what happened next in this holy war, he knew he’d be fighting that much harder. Those damn Seeds weren’t ever gonna place another finger on his girls again.

[boshaw-manor]

‘I thought you’d forgotten.’

October 2nd. That was supposed to be Sharky’s favourite day, hell for most people it would be the best day of the whole damn year. But man, he hadn’t had a good birthday for a while now. Most years he’d swing by Hurk’s and have some beers, look at some porn mags and then come home. And that was cool, really cool but... something always felt like it was missing. Sharky couldn’t remember the last time he’d actually opened a present or had some cake or even just heard the words ‘happy birthday’. Maybe it shouldn’t bother him so much, I mean most people were busy with other stuff anyway, it wasn’t personal that they didn’t remember.

Sitting on his sofa, Sharky tossed his radio from hand to hand. Jess and Grace definitely wouldn’t even answer their radios if he called. He had considered Rook but she had so much on her plate it didn’t seem fair to bother her. Shoving a finger down on the button, he commed in Hurk.

‘Hey-uh-hey amigo! What’cha doin’?’

‘Oh hey Sharky! Me and mom are just hanging out at the marine. Xander’s makin’ some sort of vegan soup thing.’

‘Oh boy uh, that sounds gross.’ Sharky laughed awkwardly. He was not a big fan of Xander, found him weird to be around. Maybe it was all the broccoli the guy ate?

‘You can come over if you want?’

‘Nah, nah. I’ll catch ya later.’ Hanging up, Sharky twisted his mouth beneath his goatee. Maybe Nick? It was a long shot but at this point...

‘Shark? You alright man? Yes Kim I’m comin’!’

‘Hey Nicky! Wanna come hang out?’

‘Oh man I’d love to but Kim’s trying out these new breathing exercises- yes I’m comin’! I’m sorry dude, maybe another time.’ Nick hung up first and Sharky sighed.

‘S’always another time.’ He mumbled under his breath. Getting up, he opened his dirty fridge and pulled out an out of date beer.

‘Birthday beer for one.’ Slumping back into the couch, he took a long pensive sip. This was fine. It was just his life. The knock at his trailer door made him jump and he frowned. ‘I don’t want any bible bashin’ today!’ He yelled, stomping over and letting it swing open.

‘Hey Shark!’ Rook stood there, a big smile on her face. His eyes trailed down to the shiny parcel cradled in her arm and the crate of beers held in the other hand. Tied to the top of the crate was a shiny red balloon. ‘Happy birthday!’ He didn’t know what to say.

‘I-I-I-‘ Sharky had to pause, his mouth dry. ‘I thought you’d forgotten-‘

‘Me? Forget your birthday? Don’t be daft!’ She laughed sweetly, motioning to move through the door. He obliged, moving to the side so she could enter. ‘Shall I put these in the fridge?’ She asked, untying the balloon and handing it to him. He nodded numbly, taking the string and staring up at the big red inflated piece of rubber. How had something so simple made him want to cry? This was like the time he watched Marley & Me on his own. Big fuckin’ mistake. Poor dog.

‘This is... nice Shorty.’ He said quietly but Rook didn’t hear him under the slam of the fridge door.

‘So, come on! I wanna see you open your present!’ She placed the box on the counter and slid it across to him. Sharky looked at the gift and then the balloon. He didn’t want to let go of it. Taking the string between his calloused fingers, Sharky tied it around his wrist as not to lose it. Flattening his palms he smoothed his hands over the shiny purple paper, he almost didn’t want to tear it. With care, he pulled at the sticky tape holding it closed and let the paper fall away. A record player. A whole record player just for him.

‘I found it when I was raiding a cabin! Fixed it up for you. I figured since Wheaty gave you those records last time we were at the Wolf’s Den...’ Rook trailed off, her smile fading as Sharky said nothing. He was just staring at it, eyes glassed over. Rook walked around the counter to his side and touched his arm lightly. ‘It’s okay if you don’t like it Shark.’ His bottom lip trembled, fingers drifting over the wooden base.

‘I love it.’ He mumbled, fighting back the urge to cry. ‘I love it Shorty.’ Without hesitation he pulled her into a huge hug, squeezing her ribs so hard she had to gasp for air.

‘Oh! Great! I’m so glad!’ She coughed, rubbing his back. The red balloon teetered by her head, still attached tightly to the pyro’s wrist.

‘Thank you chica.’ Sharky buried his face in her hair, taking in that delicious coconut smell that always made his nostrils tingle. ‘This is the best birthday I’ve ever fuckin’ had.’

Fnaf Vr: Curse Of Dreadbear Spoiler thingy ahead

What’s up fellow gamer chads. Turns out I’m actually doing this liveblog reaction thingy of the Fnaf vr update. Basically this is going to be a sloppy masterpost of me losing my shit over Fnaf but spooky.

I’m going to be “reacting” to FusionZGamer’s first VR video so let’s go bois. spoilers and images ahead

Carl the Cupcake without a candle is cursed

So first up we have the introduction to the new map office thingy.Love the vibe from this. Reminds me of the old black and white horror movies with the lighting and such.nice little addition are the monitors behind as a small little callback to the original trailer of help wanted during the PlayStation direct and just for spooks in general

Also like the small little old fasion film projecter. It adds to Fnaf whole’s 80/90s era aesthetic that the series seems to be focusing on now if the Fnaf 57 teaser is anything to go by

Love the wanna be pumpkin hill stage from sonic adventure 2. Also like how some of the pumpkin carvings resemble some of the animatronics like Bonnie and especially chica. Great spooky mood and atmosphere right here!

VR helpy is best helpy, ya just can’t change my mind. I already loved the little animations he had for the mini games before but these just top them.

Darkroom crawl time!!!

This one is probably the most spooky minigame out of all of the minigames played in this video. This also supports my totally legit(Not Clickbait) point that Fnaf 4 along with Fnaf 1 are the most scariest games in the entire series. The whole mood and atmosphere in Fnaf 4 is captured quite well here and I think that’s why I find it very spooky.

Game over screen!!

Ok so I don’t know if this is officially called Jack O foxy but I’ll just call him that for now. And if he is indeed a jack o he may be my favourite, cause I think the whole jack o aesthetic fits our favourite edgy fox quite well.Also like the addition of the hook clashing against the metal. Kinda reminds me of what the other spooky Freddy would do in a nightmare on elm street with the claw glove and such.

Dreadbear part of the game over screen!!

I like how they added new death messages on the monitors. They add even more lore questions and the such. At much as some us hate to admit it the sheer amount of confusing lore of Fnaf is what makes Fnaf, well Fnaf.

Also like how some parallels between malhare and Dreadbear are being set up. With them talking or laughing at the player and them appearing around the office hub world thingy.

Danger keep out!!

So I’m not so clear on this one but I wanna say it’s just the Fnaf 1 levels but with jack-o animatronics where you click on the cams to “shock” them. I don’t know but I heard the sister location flash beacon sound effect and the controls said flash the animatronics to scare them off so I assume that’s what happening.

It’s probably my least favourite so far but hey maybe the night 2, 3, and the blacklight mode will change my mind

Last but not least plushkin patch

So it’s plushbaby round 2 but this time spooky. The addition of the pumpkins, and the farm tracker, adds to the spooky autumn feel and I really like that. Also the plushbabies with freddle masks is good, very good indeed.

Ok so that’s all for this video and so far I’m loving what steel Wool and Scott has done. Sure I wasn’t the biggest fan of Fnaf 1 But recoloured but I love the other two minigames and just the whole feel of this update in general.

[ailawritesfics]

Since the beginning, Chica has been my favorite. I love most of her designs, the best one is definitely Glamrock Chica though

Like look at her! The hair, THE EYELASHES! The makeup is immaculate and her entire character is something i can fully relate too, plus I love how Steel Wool tied in our fandom life long dreams from the days of Chica being in the kitchen in the first game, to her just eating trash. That used to be a major headcanon for a lot of us fans. Chica eating the leftover food next to Golden Freddy in the kitchen.

If I had to pick a moreso recently developed character its probably all the STAFF bots. They all are so adorable. Map bot, Wet Floor Bot, Security bot, its all adorable! I love them all so much.

I'm gonna gush over how most of the characters in Security Breach are just perfect and amazingly written and designed and stuff because they all are. I love all of the new characters and all that. Roxy is probably another favorite, her self-esteem issues is something that isn't really shown in games a lot. I love the idea of Fazbear Entertainment just coding anxious robots and dumping them into the life of being famous without realizing it.

I agree a 101% Steel wool really outdid themselves with character designs and everything else. Though, there are a few things in the trailers made by Steel wool that I had hoped to see in the game but didn't make the cut. I feel like they stopped midway through production and just changed the entire storyline. There are a lot of things from the trailer(one example being Vanessa's line: "Gregory, we can get you out of here. You and me together." She never tried to help Gregory in the game) that we didn't get to see in game unless they add that in a DLC.

Moving on, the characters in security breach really stand out compared to the past characters in the franchise with the exception of the Puppet and Golden Freddy. I wholeheartedly agree with you on Chica's design! She's gorgeous. And the eating trash thing, it's kinda funny to see her do that when she's the icon of "fitness" at the Pizzaplex. I also had the a headcanon about her eating leftovers in the kitchen but I didn't think those leftovers would be literal trASH.

The Glamrocks, our main band are well-written, I love all of them! If there are characters I felt needed a little something more it would be the security bots and Vanny. I feel like steel wool could've done more for them but they're fine as they are. Vanny has a great story but lacked screentime. Other than that, you're right, the game is fantastic!
