#robots are scary

[chickencupcake]

It was a dark and stormy night. The wind wailed through the trees like a banshee. A banshee looking for souls. Darkness lurked in the hearts of men, along with avarice and vain striving. Kind of a bummer, really. But not as bad as the vampires.

Vampires are often seen draining the lifeblood of the homeless in back alleys. This city has many homeless people.

Werewolves are sometimes seen feeding on the flesh of their victims in back alleys. This city has some victims.

Ghosts are seldom seen stealing the essences of the virtuous and virginal in back alleys. This city doesn’t have many virtuous virgins.

My name is Jack. I fight for independence for the robots. This is my story. The story of robot independence. And Susan. I mean, the story is also about Susan, she already had her independence.

Like I said, it was a dark and stormy night, just like every other. Except it wasn’t. That was the night she came into my life. She walked into my robot independence headquarters, pulled back her hood, her soft brown hair whipping in the wind. She stood, framed in the doorway, a vision of loveliness, with lightning and hail crashing down around behind her. She was here to help.

“I’m here to help,” said Susan

“We could use your help,” I said.

“I’m here to help,” said Susan

Our eyes met, and there was an energy in the air. We both felt it. I am a strikingly handsome man. I could tell she was struck by my chiseled, rugged jaw. Oh, and a toothpick. I always have a toothpick in my mouth. I have extraordinarily clean teeth.

“I am here to fight for robot independence,” said Susan.

“That’s what we’re here for, at the Robot Independence and Liberation Organization,” I said.

“Only the little ones though, right? The big ones are scary,” said Susan.

Susan thought the big robots were scary because they are scary. The little ones are pretty cool, though. They’re pretty bro. The big ones are controlled by the United Vampire League of Covens. Super murderous evil vampire wizards and witches, basically. They’re kind of dicks, too.

“Of course, sweetheart,” I said.

“Don’t call me sweetheart, champ,” said Susan.

I told you she was independent.

Suddenly the radio switched channels.

“Attentions of the Mortals! Purgation will commence! We are have seen you actions, and find you wanting! You’ve been naughty! Fire begins now!” The Radio belched it’s terrible message to us. Drat! the U.V.L.C. had found us, and hacked our carrier wave frequency module.

“Nota de los mortales! Purgación comenzará! Nos hemos estado observando, nos encontramos con la acción que desee! Usted ha sido travieso! Dispara ahora!” the radio continued. I don’t speak french, so I have no idea what it said.

“Jack, we’ve got to escape,” said Susan. I agreed.

“I agree, I said.

Suddenly my base exploded! Susan and I were thrown clear of the blast, unscathed except for a small cut on my face, and Susan’s torn blouse.

“These guys are going to pay for what they’ve done to all my friends and allies.” My base had been full of people, sorry I forgot to mention that. They were all really good people with wives and children.

“Yeah,” said Susan.

We stood there, staring at the ruins of our former home and base, taking in the sights of the fire and rubble for an hour. Moved by our tragic loss, we vowed again for robot independence, for small robots, and the destruction of the U.V.L.C.

Walking into the night, with the fires behind us, and our wind blown long coats, Susan and I must have looked pretty badass.

Pretty badass.

Hello Murderbot fandom. I can't explain. I'm sorry.

FNAF SPOILERS! SCROLL! TALKING ABOUT THE SPRINGLOCK SCENE!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You don't think Donnie is scary when he's angry?

NOOOOO nooo lol definitely not. donnie gets angry all the time in the show, and i think a defining feature of his anger is that it's very unfocused. he runs really hot. he cant think straight, he stumbles over his words, he paces and flails and rambles. he never lashes out violently, except for arguably the beginning of mind meld (the most notable example of this) where he literally just throws something. he's not the best at emotionally regulating. he's sensitive.

donnie at his scariest isn't when he feels in-the-moment angry, especially because he's shown not to be productive when he cant think straight. he's more likely to burst into frustrated tears or storm off to go cool down. i don't even think anger would be his first response if someone he loved got hurt, which is an idea with canon backing. he honestly just seems terrified.

i'd be more afraid of him when he's having a GOOD time tbh

I wanted to add fish lol

(REBLOG PLZ..🥀)

Also caliber girl and mother of me poem reference

I also did not want to work on his fuckass triangles and squares I hate them I hate them

(More explanation on text below)

Okay getting kinda ranting: I added Caliber girl lyrics because the whole song is about overworking one’s self to the point of absolute exhaustion and drain. Added mother of me poem because in ultrakill, the gutterman have a human in it’s back coffin thing, which in turn gives it its fuel and life. It kinda reminds me of when Robot yk. YK. Took Rex’s blood to create his own body, which in turn, gave him a new life, a new form, a new purpose. Man idk if this makes sense I hope it does bangs my head on the wall

WHO WINNING?!

USED SERVITOR BLOWOUT SALE FESTIVAL🎈🥳🎉:

Remember: Serve the Emperor, or Serve as Parts. Either way, YOU SERVE.

EVERYTHING MUST GO (INCLUDING YOUR HUMANITY)

Welcome to the biggest clearance event in the Imperium, motherfuckers! Need cheap labor? Need a servitor with that "lightly used, only screamed for the first 40 days" kinda vibe? Well, step right up! We got everything from half-brainwashed factory workers to lobotomized aristocrats who forgot to pay their tithe.

Because in the grim darkness of the far future, one thing is certain: you can be a worker, you can be a soldier, or you can be stock.

💀 SHOP SMART, SHOP SERVITOR 💀

🔹 Genetic Mishaps? We got those! Crooked nobles who thought they were untouchable, now wired into conveyor belts, drooling coolant, shitting oil, and making sure your las-rifles come off the assembly line on time.

🔹 Failed Tech-Priest Acolytes? Fuck yeah! Ask too many questions, and you could end up as a walking soft-serve machine with a detachable cock-replaceable nozzle.

🔹 Battlefield Salvage? Some dumbass Guardsman who took one too many rounds to the brain and didn’t have the decency to fully die? Now he’s the designated ammo carrier. His eyes are gone, his soul is in whatever counts as an afterlife, but goddamn if he isn’t still loading shells into the Basilisk.

🔹 Discounted Heretics! That’s right, folks! Thought crime isn’t just punishable by death—it’s punishable by a lifetime of tireless, lobotomized, piss-and-rot servitude! Remember that loudmouth who started questioning the Ecclesiarchy? Yeah, she’s a self-powered fuckin’ janitor now. And she doesn’t even know it.

💀 INJUSTICE? NAH, THIS IS JUST HOW SHIT WORKS. 💀

Look, the Imperium doesn’t have time for due process, ethics, or your bitching. You get caught, you get sentenced, and if you’re lucky, you just get shot in the face. If not? Well…

You will be stripped. Of name, rank, and thought.

You will be wired. Into machines, into assembly lines, into grotesque walking infrastructure.

You will be useful. Until your body fucking quits.

And then? Your carcass gets recycled into another batch of "freshly mindwiped workforce," because wastefulness is heresy.

💀 TRAGEDY? MAYBE. COMEUPPANCE? ABSOLUTELY. 💀

🔹 That planetary governor who let a Hive World rot in famine? He’s a servitor now, shoveling the same shit his people had to eat.

🔹 That spoiled noble who thought she was above the law? Yeah, she’s bolted into an automated pleasure engine, servicing the same underhivers she once spat on.

🔹 That inquisitor who purged an entire city "just to be sure"? Hope he enjoys his new eternity as a fleshlight-dispensing bio-recycler.

🔹 That rich fuck who hoarded resources, letting a whole sector starve? Don’t worry. His nutrient paste tastes real good, because it’s made out of him.

Because in the glorious Imperium of Man, even the worst scum eventually finds a purpose. Even if that purpose is being a half-melting, piss-leaking, cybernetic flesh-husk on sale for 5 thrones.

🔥 EVERYTHING MUST GO (INCLUDING YOUR SOUL) 🔥

REBLOG if you’d rather be shot than end up in a servitor assembly line.

💬 COMMENT which Warhammer faction you think deserves to be on the clearance rack.

🚀 FOLLOW for more grimdark truths straight from the corpse-laden frontlines.

Sometimes I'm so far deep in the robot/ai tumblr community that I think "Yeah, yeah, Hal 9000. We've all seen him. He's mainstream at this point. Everyone knows about Hal!" And then I casually mentioned Hal while in conversation with a coworker of mine. Guys. He had no idea who I was talking about.
