So yeah, Heather killed someone and Veronica helped her destroy the body.

Is Heather regretful? Not at all. Did she enjoy it? Most likely.

How would the boys react if MC decided to switch love interests? (e.g.: you're in the talking phase with Keir but decide you actually like Francesco more)

Francesco :(

Keir If you're on his route you cannot leave Mouse Hole for plot reasons, so best of luck getting time with your new love interest.

Oleander Oh well.

Cirrus If you're on his route you cannot leave him for Cirrus Reasons, so best of luck!

i really hate “it’s x, what did critics expect?” discourse. as if critics are dumdumbs who walk into every movie expecting it to be citizen kane.

critics can appreciate camp. critics can appreciate popcorn flicks. they often do.

but it’s possible to be a bad popcorn flick. it’s possible to be bad at camp. it’s possible for any type of movie to be a good or bad example of its “type.”

that’s not to say critics as a group are unquestionable. they’re not a monolith and frequently argue.

if you need a handy parallel, it’s kind of like in animation discourse when someone says “it’s a kids movie” vs “kids deserve good movies, not bottom of the barrel crap.” you can judge anything, actually - as long as you’re willing to meet something where it’s at.

the criticisms of the fnaf movie are not borne out of wishing it was a more serious drama. we’re talking about a group who (overall) loved the shit out of the irreverent and camp horror movie “m3gan.”

it’s born out of wishing fnaf was a good movie. yknow like. maybe more fun? or scary? or both? instead of what it is, which is mostly boring characters doing lazy, generic backstories and lore exposition.

the part i’ve seen critics praise are actually the more campy elements - like matthew lillard throwing himself into his role, despite how underwhelming it is. i’ve seen critics want MORE animatronics, colors and camp, not less!

to paraphrase one critic: for a movie with an enormous robot chicken armed with a cupcake, it’s an oddly serious, even dour movie. it’s the human drama that pads the film. the animatronics are pretty great, but unfortunately, they are a distant second in focus compared to the human actors.

believe it or not, many critics actually wanted the horror animatronics movie to be about the animatronics. instead we get josh hutcherson looking vaguely tired and annoyed in every scene. as if that’s what we signed up for. is that what YOU wanted, fnaf fan?

social media try reading what the critics are actually saying before bashing the critics challenge: impossible difficulty.

Death Warrant!Au

When the rejuvenating, life-extending effects of ectoplasm to the dead and dying was discovered by planets across the stars, it triggered mass conflicts that left several systems obliterated beyond repair. Hundreds of Billions had migrated to the Realms in numbers that were never seen before by the residence of the dead. They had various forms of damage and disfigurement on their new forms as a result of the ectoplasm being weaponized and used on them. Their very beings were corrupted beyond repair with their minds significantly altered with highly specified obsessions.

• Peoples from the destroyed worlds being so afraid that they lashed out, ripping anything that saw them to pieces out of fear of being attacked.

A serpentine creature of the Realms eagerly stalking them and fed upon their cores to grow stronger.

• Soldiers of these races were hell-bent on continuing to fight and proceeded to attempt subjugate this dimension that was new to them. Their rage guiding them blindly as they left paths of destruction throughout the realm.

A beast, wrongly slaughtered in the early madness of an delicate fledgling world that happened to be rich with ectoplasm followed the warpath and basked in the rage.

Eventually, more creatures like them came to prominence as a result of these strange new victims. Being aspects of emotion that were born from the masses in the war.

The Ghost King during this time period could not sit idly by and watch these newly born ghosts run rampant and terrorize his kingdom. With a heavy heart and a weapon in hand, a call to arms was called and the purge of these beings began. It tooks thousands of years, but when the last corrupted ghost was destroyed, the King took to the realm of living and wiped away all traces of the Realms from the minds of the survivors with all recollections of this terrible war for ectoplasm erased from history.

As his rested his eyes one final time, before the Tyrant would cowardly claim his life, made a major, sacred declaration that all citizens was made:

• If any hostile, mutant ghosts were to be found, they were to captured and examined by the king's council to await judgement. If they are too dangerous to restrain and seek bloody violence, they are to be destroyed.

• Any scientists trying to use ectoplasm for endangering life were to be have their memories erased and put to the sword for their crimes.

• Anyone foolish enough to Defy Death using ectoplasm, the greatest violation of the laws in the infinite Realms, they were to be put to death as and immediately given their Second End.

~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~

When Pariah Dark, the Cowardly Tyrant King, is defeated and Danny fianlly takes the throne after a few centuries of training, the Observers hand him a compiled a list of names who violated these sacred laws.

They have him start with Earth and Danny's jaw hits the floor with what the charges he was seeing. He can already hear the chaos in the meeting room.

• Amanda Waller, Vandal Savage, Darkseid, Granny Goodness, a court of owls(?)...the list is long, and that's just Earth alone!

• Jack "The Goddamn Joker" Napier and a few of the more violent Rouges of Gotham are charged with Veil Destabilization.

Even Jason Peter Todd Wayne...the Red Hood!? Danny can probably work something with Jason, force him into therapy sessions (along with the whole damn family) with Jazz and a couple cleansing sessions and supplements from Frostbite...the others had to go...

The continued slaughter of the innocent, combined with the suffering they endured and the misery felt by Shades who couldn't move on was making the veil deteriorate at dangerous speeds. New pits would form across the city eventually as a result.

Lady Gotham has done everything she can to keep the madness from happening but she can't hold it back any longer. Her core is ready to shatter under the stress and is constantly in agony, but she won't abandon her knights, despite Danny's pleas to save herself.

There's a certain brigade of furry's who may or may not like this news but said brigade had no choice but to take it on the chin. They have children who Defied Death in their ranks and the Realms are not afraid to destroy anyone foolish enough to stop them.

• Lex Luther is charged with crimes against humanity. And several other violations in regards to unethical experimentation.

One sticks out to Danny.

Lex used Danny's stolen DNA from a stray core shard from the Guys in White, who he was was funding in secret, even after they were disbanded, to create a clone comprised of the Earth's resident Kryptonian, the bald bastard, and himself to kill and replace said Kryptonian...the guy who literally helps save the earth time and time again from doom.

...Yeah, Lex is undoubtedly, fucked beyond total comprehension. Anyone defending him was risking all-out war with the Infinite Realms.

But hey, at least Danny was finally having child of his own! The little tyke is only a few years old in the tube, Ellie's visits are far and in-between and Danny's status as a Halfa made him sterile and develop an embarrassingly strong case of baby fever.

He's sure the ghosts from Krypton would love to help out in raising Conner in case Kal-El wasn't really planning on being around the boy. After all, being cloned himself, Danny knows the emotional baggage that comes with being violated to this degree by your enemy.

He just hopes the guy can come around and accept the little guy...
