Letters to Santa

Dear Santa, Both of my mums are beautiful and wonderful, but not enough people realise how beautiful and wonderful they are. One of my mums even said about my other mum, ‘I wish people saw how truly beautiful you are.’ I know you would find them beautiful because one of my mums represents a holiday like you do and they’re both made of food and you must like living food because your poem has…

🥳🥳🥳🤯🤯🤯🥳🥳🥳😏😏😏😃😃😃😃😃

STOOOOOOOOOOOKED 😆😆😆😆😆

THEY'RE DOING A CHUCKY HOUSE I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN ON A YEAR THAT THEY DID A CHUCKY HOUSE??!! (though i did go that one year where he took over the Terror Tram lololol that was so much fun ☺️☺️☺️)

Also can we just appreciate them doing not just the Phantom of the Opera, but also Jekyll and Hyde, the Invisible Man, and the Hunchback of Notre Dame??!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Like yes they always do a classic Universal Monsters house, but it's usually some combination of like Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Bride of the Monster, the Wolfman, with something like Creature from the Black Lagoon or The Mummy thrown in every now and then.

THESE ARE ALL UNCOMMON ONES THEY'RE DOING THIS YEAR THOUGH, GOOD FOR THEM!! 👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏

Unrelated note, not super excited about the Terror Tram theme (like these mutated bugs who are people exterminators or something??) but I appreciate that they're doing something different, I'll give them credit for that 👍

Facts about your OCS. Hand them over.

-My human FNAF OCs are all named so that they reference different characters in other media. For example, Sango Hitachiin is a nod to Inuyasha as well as Ouran High School Host Club

-My first yet most popular animatronic OC, Kitty, was originally despised and even posted to a hate blog on tumblr. People currently love her

-Madevery is my equivalent of an outcode OC. Except instead of being an outcode Undertale character, she’s outcode compared to all my other OCs across different fandoms. She regularly likes to mess with everyone, but Hera is her favorite to pick on

-My OC EVE- -X* (Liselotte Von Raitenau) was given that spelling to differentiate her from my other OC Eve Evalyn who came first. Her name is pronounced Eve Ecks

-Sage Enomoto and her sisters are octuplets

-My Black Butler OC, Aurora Newcomb, was inspired by Hannah Anafeloz

-Scarberry and Raizel became vampires in the 1700’s whereas Parvati was turned in the 1400’s

Hi, Thanks for answering my previous question about jobs :>

Anyway, I have more questions.

1)What do the guild do?

2)what does Og!Oda do as a job?

3)What does Bram do?

4) what do the Government! Members do? (I have no idea what to call them)

You are welcome.

Jobs. Part 2

_______

1.

Fitzgerald started a business (I lean towards trading company). Alcott is his mix of vice director, secretary and advisor.

Poe became a writer again, sometimes, he helps both ADAs with solving cases. He does both mostly for fun. All Guild members managed to get their 'implied' money and savings when they were preparing to go to the real world, and, they can not to worry too much about bankruptcy or having job.

Melville would become a museum worker or a consultant in university. He will choose something, that is either about sea and sea travels or about whales. He became quite famous tour guide. On the weekends, he read to kids in the library, telling them stories about sea travels.

Lovecraft is an interesting case. Sometimes, he will act as Steinbeck's assistant/colleague/bodyguard. However, Lovecraft's looks can make people uncomfortable (small side effect of being an Elder God), they need a lot of time to get used to him. So, most of the time Lovecraft stays home, looking after it. If hunting and fishing is legal in the country, he will go hunting/fishing for food.

Also, Lovecraft, during Halloween season, became an actor in hunted houses/scary attractions/festivals. He is more than popular, everyone wants to hire him.

They think, that his tentacles are very good animatronic parts.

Steinbeck became a vineyard owner. Grapes, juice and wine from his vineyard are fresh and taste good. Steinbeck always brings some of his products home.

Lucy is working with ADA/PM and HD. Her ability is good for transferring captured criminals.

Mitchell decided to study to be a seamstress or designer. She has some ideas, good ideas, but, she wanted to take a look at what fashion in this world can offer. Right now, she already created a line of scarfs and ties.

Twain trains paintball and biathlon teams. He wanted to publish his book, but decided to wait for right moment to do it.

Hawthorne, after some studying, became a theology professor in the university.

__________

2.

OG! Oda has multiple jobs. He is a handyman, he looks after kids and teens from BSD Cast, read to children together with Melville. He also a part-timer in ADA/ Private Investigation Bureau.

As for his dream to be a writer... Natsume, Oda and you are working on it. Oda tries to go to therapy, but, he has to be careful with what he said, so police won't be called. Also, back in BSD World, he helped Natsume with writing about Season 3-5 to add to "Story" in app. So, perhaps, there is a chance.

_________

3.

Bram is another "seasonal" actor. Another popular one during Halloween.

Outside that, he is looking after the mansion. Bram still has much to learn about modern times, right now he will attract too much attention.

_________

4.

Ango became a programmer in Fitzgerald's company.

Ayatsuji and Tsujimura, on papers, are part of ADA, but act separately, with Ayatsuji being a detective, and Tsujimura being his helper/bodyguard.

Chief Taneda becomes a librarian. His ability and title aren't needed in this world (for now), so he can have a rest and do something else.

[lookwhatyoudidithasanxiety]

Harvest Character Ref

5'5 separate, 6'0 as BloodMoon; controls right half of BM; doesn't regress

he/him; they/them as BloodMoon. Greyromantic and asexual

Paws and hands and feet, retractable claws on both

Two fangs in the top row of teeth (elongate when feral), flat teeth throughout the rest.

Saliva can excrete both myotoxin and healing agent/anti-venom.

Left eye white with black pupil, right black sclera with red star pupil

Has a long, whiplike tail

Lost his right arm during an ill-fated interaction with Sun when he lost control of his instincts. Because of this, BloodMoon's right arm is shorter than their left.

Shocked at the instincts his body exhibits while he's with Kill Code (ie scruffing him makes him go limp, he doesn't want anyone to mess with his belly, etc.)

Suffers from deipnophobia. He can eat in front of Bloody just fine, but he doesn't like to eat in front of anyone else. He'd rather go hungry and wait until everyone is gone before he'll eat at all. (That's if he's even willing to eat, period...)

Struggles with eating. He went so long not feeding himself out of guilt/wanting to care for his brother before himself/not feeling like he deserved to eat that now he has difficulty eating. Somedays he does fine. Other days the others are lucky to get him to drink half of a bloodpouch.

Suppressed his instincts for far too long and fed his brother over himself. Eventually lost control and couldn't control himself. Sun was caught between either letting Harvest attack and potentially kill him or shooting a barrel at him. The blast destroyed most of his arm and was unable to be repaired.

Addition since I found this helpful: this is a video showcasing how a three-legged cat runs, which is how I imagine he runs on all-fours after the accident.

Speaks in rhyme when feral/part of BloodMoon.

Bloody and Lunar call him Ves and Vessie

"Brothers hide things, so we do not worry." "Sometimes we must accept what we learn and...move on." "This can't be the end. This won't be the end. I will NOT die." "I'm holding you back!...I shouldn't be alive, I should be back where I was!" "I do love [Bloody]! I love him more than myself! He's everything to me!"

Relationship with Lunar: Him and Bloody were the first to realize that Lunar regresses. They became incredibly protective of him once they realized that Eclipse hurt him too. Harvest is one of the main caregivers for Lunar, and he usually oversees playdates between him and Bloody.

Moon: Knew that Moon was suppressing his kill code, but didn't say anything because he knew that he was going to talk with Sun. Him and Moon usually just sit quietly together, enjoying the peace and calm.

Sun: Didn't like him at first, especially because he saw how distant Sun was being with Lunar before he realized he regressed. Him and Bloody threatened to harm him if he ever hurt Lunar, but...that threat was unnecessary. Now he sometimes likes to spend time with him and Solar when they sit and gossip over tea. Sun is also the one that initially taught him to knit.

Bloody: Would do absolutely anything for his twin. When he realized how much he wasn't able to do after he lost his arm, he tried to run so Bloody would have a better chance at success. Like Moon, he'd sacrifice himself for his twin. Bloody and him are working on being honest with each other, and Bloody is working on helping Harvest with his habit of foregoing food.

Kill Code: Harvest doesn't trust him. Especially since he took over control from Moon, and he's the one that Moon was trying to suppress (just like he was trying to suppress his own instincts). At the same time, Kill Code is the one who healed him and brought him back to life...

Solar: Sometimes Bloody makes Harvest join Solar and Sun on their mandated self-care days, so he's been spending more time with the two solar animatronics. He and Solar bonded surprisingly well over their appreciation for poetry and Edgar Allen Poe. The gossip tea time sometimes turns into book club or knitting circle.

[wilsons-hotlittleprettyboymouth]

Last night — Halloween — my nephew and I incurred some sort of fucking.. karmic reckoning. In the form of an unfamiliar black cat absolutely wrecking our shit with all of its might.

For context my sister’s house is the highlight of the neighborhood every year. In order to get candy you HAVE to go through the tent, full of smoke, clown animatronics, and the high probability of encountering my other (ex HS football player) nephew in full slasher costume or my niece carrying an axe and screeching at the top of her lungs. So we set up a mini carnival in the driveway, originally for those too small or too scared to get candy, and me and my sister’s middle kid running it. We’re the type A’s who are good with children and used to volunteer at the Christmas village every year anyway so we’re happy to do it. At this point the carnival is the highlight above the candy.

Anyway, starting at like… 8 pm? This black cat that no one’s seen in our neighborhood before starts hiding under our back table. I assume the striped tablecloth hanging around the edges provides safety amongst the chaos and noise around. But then it starts batting things around, so we chase it off and it comes back. Every THREE TO FIVE MINUTES for the next hour. Biting things, ripping down the tablecloth, running into the table legs while sprinting around which would knock our stack of cans down, walking along the top of the fence behind the table just to taunt us. We’d turn around to help a customer and before we had another second to think the cat was back.

And I know what you’re thinking, halloween is loud and populous, and the cat was probably freaked out and needed somewhere to hide!

No

Our house was the ONLY house lit up on the whole street!!! People were driving to our house just to jump out, get candy and play games, and drive back away. This cat was in the center of the action JUST to fuck with us!!! To the point that, having just seen the fall of the house of usher, I started calling it Pluto. We’re diving, screaming, trying to chase the cat away over and over again. Nearly crying, hair a mess, knocking our own stuff over trying to shoo it.

After we shut the festivities down for the night my sister caught the cat and checked it’s tag and you know what the fucking thing’s name was?

Jupiter.

I dunno who out there we pissed off to receive Poe-esque divine consequence this Halloween but listen. I’m so fucking sorry. PLEASE stop sending the goddamn cat.

The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)

In the late 1950s and 1960s, American International Pictures (AIP) was a minor Hollywood studio with an outsized reputation. AIP, which made nothing but low-budget pictures and B-movies during its existence, focused on cornering the market for teenagers and young adults. Rather than making an endless string of superhero movies, AIP instead relied on its Beach Party series and related films (1963-1967) and inexpensive horror movies (usually involving producer/director Roger Corman). One of AIP’s mainstays for its coterie of horror films was none other than Vincent Price. A longtime character actor for 20th Century Fox, Price had only begun to regularly feature in horror films beginning with House of Wax (1953). From there, he became a regular on AIP’s Edgar Allan Poe adaptations (very loose adaptations, mind you) under Corman’s direction. No matter how dastardly Price’s characters schemes were in his numerous horror films, Price’s almost effortless charm always pored through, to the point that one cannot help but root for his schemes to succeed.

Though Roger Corman was not involved in The Abominable Dr. Phibes (Phibes rhymes with “bribes”), a portion of Price’s fans point to his performance here in the title role as the Vincent Price-iest of all. In this darkly comedic horror film directed by former production designer Robert Fuest (the 1961-1969 TV series The Avengers, director on 1970’s Wuthering Heights), the film’s deliberate campiness demands more absurd motivations, plot developments, and aesthetic choices than some viewers might be comfortable with. In short, this is not the ideal introduction to Vincent Price or AIP’s horror movies. To enjoy the first Phibes film is to be in on the joke, to accept the film’s inherent silliness.

The opening credits help set that mood. As they roll, Dr. Phibes (Price) ascends from beneath a flight of stairs, playing on organ Felix Mendelssohn’s “War March of the Priests” from Athalie. His only company in this fiendish lair are his tall, silent assistant Vulnavia (Virginia North) and his animatronic band, the Dr. Phibes Clockwork Wizards. Reported killed in a Switzerland car accident in 1921 alongside his wife Victoria, Phibes (who carries heavy facial scars and lost his speaking voice in the crash) is hellbent on seeking revenge against the British doctors who presided over Victoria’s failed surgery. Instead of going to therapy, Phibes murders the doctors instead. One after another, the doctors die in increasingly elaborate ways – each homicide inspired by one of the ten Plagues of Egypt as described in the Book of Exodus. After the third doctor dies, Scotland Yard finally begins connecting the dots under Inspector Harry Trout (Peter Jeffrey). Trout soon realizes that the deceased were all directed by Dr. Vesalius (Joseph Cotten). This revelation only begins to unearth Phibes’ wicked plot.

Elsewhere, Hugh Griffith plays a helpful Rabbi and Terry-Thomas plays one of the doctors. Derek Godfrey and John Cater play Inspector Trout’s superiors, Crow and Weaverly, respectively. Aubrey Woods, whom most know as Bill the Candy Man from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), plays an eyewitness named Goldsmith.

The screenplay by William Goldstein (who returned for the sequel), James Whiton (his only major writing credit), and Fuest, is no one’s idea of sensible, intelligently structured writing. The transitions between the scenes involving Phibes, his assistant, and the victims to Scotland Yard and Dr. Vesalius are untidy. Goldstein, Whiton, and Fuest attempt to make more of a mystery out of this film than they should, but it only serves to make the investigatory half of the film as a dumping ground of expository dialogue. The scenes with Phibes are the zanier, far more interesting parts of the screenplay – even though the character can no longer speaker (the writers engineer an inexplicable workaround, but this unlikely development can have a pass in the context of this bizarre work). For the scriptural scholars among us, some of the stylish killings of the unsuspecting doctors take liberties with the stated Ten Plagues of Egypt. Though perhaps unacceptable to those demanding strict adherence to the holy texts, the thematic divergences of those murders are still so cockamamie that most viewers probably do not mind.

Dr. Phibes’ murders would make Jigsaw from the Saw series (2004-present) proud. To be clear, The Abominable Dr. Phibes is not a slasher film (a subgenre that was beginning to find its foundations by the early 1970s), but it contains elements that would become slasher hallmarks – an individual committing several revenge killings due to a past event, a sort of catharsis (in later slasher movies, sexual gratification) in the act of killing, and unusual manners of murder. Instead of horrifying the viewer with the wanton death, it is Vincent Price’s performance that keeps The Abominable Dr. Phibes within the confines of comedic horror. Due to reasons that I do not wish to spoil, Price’s Phibes scarcely makes a facial expression aside from his default, neutral gaze. His gait is deliberate and steady. Without the possibility of any facial muscular contortions or Price’s trademark smirk, so much of Price’s performance is through his eyes. From his thousand-yard stares, contemptuous gazes, world weary looks, and bemused glances, Price provides an enormous amount of the film’s soul and tenor with so little of his body. This sounds like a silent film director’s dream, but Price’s performance is a commanding one, in any era. His Dr. Phibes may not be in full control of his movements (thanks to Trevor Crole-Rees’ excellent makeup design), but Price is always fully in control of his acting. No surprise to anyone who knows Price’s work – always dependable to provide his utmost effort, no matter how dire the material.

The screenplay, nevertheless, keeps some emotional distance between the audiences and the title character. Though the film’s absurdity allows the viewer to scrap their sense of morality while watching Phibes slaughter each of the doctors, Phibes’ psychology is inaccessible until the film’s second half. The filmmakers, by not prioritizing Phibes’ mindset as much as they could, continually frame him as the villain amid bumbling detectives, the privileged victims (ensuring that the viewer cares not too much about their deaths), and the prideful Dr. Vesalius (whose hubris erodes as the film progresses, revealing his desperate humanity).

If anybody could be considered a co-lead here, that would be Joseph Cotten as Dr. Vesalius. The underrated and undermentioned Cotten, not at all known for his horror work and more for his collaborations with Orson Welles (namely 1941’s Citizen Kane and 1942’s The Magnificent Ambersons), performs ably here. Cotten replaced Price’s friend, Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin in 1977’s Star Wars, a regular as Baron Frankenstein and Van Helsing in Hammer horror movies), after Cushing fell ill. Cushing would have been ideal in the role, but never does Cotten act as if the unconvincing dialogue is beneath him, even if he doesn’t attempt to hide his American accent. As Dr. Vesalius, Cotten wonderfully inhabits his character’s desperation as his colleagues meet their ends, as if prophesied.

Set designer Brian Eatwell (1973’s The Three Musketeers, 1976’s The Man Who Fell to Earth) runs rampant with his design to Phibes’ lair. A curious combination of art deco and the garishness of 1970s colors serves the film’s ludicrousness. I am not sure how livable Phibes’ abode is – there are nary any bedrooms or any other amenities depicted – but the central chamber could be an ideal place for a raucous, demented soiree. Vulnavia’s ever-changing wardrobe in each of her scenes is also a delight, thanks to costume designer Elsa Fennell (1964’s Goldfinger, 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever). Perhaps there isn’t too much of association between campy costumes and sets with heartrending motives for murder, but that is exactly what transpires in The Abominable Dr. Phibes.

In addition, a laughably anachronistic soundtrack of swing jazz and Great American Songbook standards dot the film. I was not prepared for the appearance of either Mendelssohn’s “War March of the Priests” nor the legendary song that rounds out the closing credits. Phibes’ introduction while playing the former on organ readies the viewer not to take everything that is about to unfold seriously. For the latter song (again, I dare not spoil this), a brilliant solo trumpet takes the easily recognizable melody and swings it. Lyrically, this song’s placement in the end credits is fitting for what happens to Phibes. But I could not help but laugh the moment I heard the opening notes – a fitting send-off to a gleefully daft movie.

When The Abominable Dr. Phibes arrived in theaters, its poster showed the mutilated Dr. Phibes appearing as if he is about to kiss a woman. Above them read the tagline: “Love means never having to say you’re ugly.” This was a reference to Love Story (1970), with its (in)famous tagline and in-movie quote: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” The marketing for The Abominable Dr. Phibes confused audiences – was it a romance? horror? parody? – and the film struggled initially before AIP retooled its advertising to market the film as a horror film. On its low budget, the film was successful enough to warrant AIP to greenlight a sequel, Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972). That sequel marked the beginning of the end of Price’s association with AIP, due to conflicts over his pay (while AIP’s box office fortunes were dwindling), his lack of satisfaction with the scripts coming his way (not even Price wanted to star in two Dr. Goldfoot movies in two years), and AIP’s plans to replace him with Robert Quarry as their primary horror star.

In the years since the film’s debut in cinemas, The Abominable Dr. Phibes has garnered a deserved cult status. There was no stopping Vincent Price from leaving AIP, but AIP – with their Robert Quarry plans not even a secret – somehow undervalued the actor who was their principal attraction through the 1960s. An essential in Price’s filmography, The Abominable Dr. Phibes defies genre conventions, genre categorization, and any semblance of rationality. For those looking for some bloody horror as the mercury drops, look no further than here. The first Dr. Phibes films guarantees murders with a wink and, though not a smile, an animatronic band playing hits that have yet to be composed.

“If they find you, I will protect you.” // poe comforting evan over being afraid of the animatronics / nightmares ? ( @gunactii )

Evan looked up at Poe, barely he held back the tears "...Please don't. I don't want you to die, just..." he took a deep, sharp breath to try to keep himself in a state to speak "Stay away from them."

I never thought I'd be getting an analysis of Edgar Allen Poe in my book about murderous animatronic bears.

Milly being like u know poe?? But.. How?!

... Girl the man is well known.

Girl sat in corner of the lunchroom reading fall of the house of usher.

Whyy it's literally mostly about describing the house.

No hate if u like it but bruh I was bored.

And mystery boy likes it and lovecraft.

And yeah I get why people like Lovecraft's works.

But also that shit is sooo racist even for the time it was written so just... Sus.

See, on one hand having the Nightmares being psychopomp-type dream demons means I can prioritize cool factor over actually making them look like they belong in a fnaf game

On the other hand how the heck do I make my bird-turned-human-turned-vampire into an animatronic? I know there's a chicken as part of the main cast so I have an example of what a bird would look like, but I want to let him keep his cool sexy vampire hair (and maybe work in a Poe reference? Since The Raven is about grief? [Why would that make sense? I was reading it in school & want to work Fall of The House of Usher vibes into the fic this relates to])

Can you tell 4 is my favorite FNaF game?
