Dick and Jason fighting:

Dick: you’re nothing but a scummy, worthless piece of shit! I hope you die again! You should’ve never come back in the first place!

Jason: oh yeah?! Well you’re nothing than a big fake who doesn’t deserve to be here with the family or with superheroes in general! There’s a reason why you’re the one Bruce took the longest to adopt! It’s because you’re not worth it! You’re worthless and nobody loves you!

Dick: well at least I can get my own juice box from the grocery shop! But oh no I’m Jason Todd, the favorite child because I fucking died and I need to do everything criminally because I’m rebelling! Get over yourself you ass no one thinks you’re cool!

Jason: and people think you’re cool?! With your fucking mullet phase and need to over sexualize yourself?! Yeah fucking sure, stop blowing this out of proportion it’s a fucking juicebox!

Dick: and you’re just a fucking failure but oh look at that— Bruce still loves you for some reason!

Jason: what you’re sad cuz he doesn’t love you?!

Dick: and you’re sad because you never had a real mother?

*five minutes later*

Dick, in Jason’s doorway, has done this a million times before with all his siblings: I’m going to bat burger

Jason, was contemplating burning down Dick’s apartment, and also wanted to go ask Dick his opinion on some cargos but didn’t want to be the first to cave: I’m coming with

Me, when Sebastian joins my party for the first time: Okay, this time I'm not going to forget about you, Sebastian. I'm going to make an effort to use you a lot this playthrough so I can better understand you.

Also me, immediately forgetting about Sebastian while finishing Act 2 and making it halfway through Act 3 before I finally notice his Faith quest: ......................Oh. Right. My bad.

The leak says Daemyra are going to flirt at her wedding and Daemon is truly so insane and unhinged for that 😭 like imagine being exiled from your home because you fcked your niece just to show up at her wedding days later and flirt with her in front of her daddy that exiled you 🤚🏼 please

a wedding said daddy (who is also your brother!!!!!!!!!) had to fucking fast track because u "ruined" her and also u just killed your wife to be free and single and now ur ready to mingle. viserys is close to a fucking aneurysm already and THEN he sees laenor making out with joffrey in some corner and just strokes out then and there

Godddd I LOVE the change on perspective of Ellington as you read atwq. Like she very much the "femme fatale" mysterious girl archetype (as much as someone who's like 15 can be a femme fatale) to the reader (because ofc we're seeing this through Lemony's perspective and L's gonna L) but then as we go along we have more and more holes poked in this picture L has built up of her until all the stuff we know about L almost comes crashing down in a way in the 4th book as we realize that LEMONY has been more mysterious more suspicious and altogether more "Ellington" than Ellington the whole time

Hell yeah friendo wants it so you all shall receive!! Long post ahead!!

SO

What I was thinking about specifically that led to this realisation is thinking about Bonnie, and the fun narrative I've built with Roxy being the one to kill him. But it hit me this morning that it wouldn't work like that.

Because Bonnie isn't dead. Or at least, not by the animatronics' standards.

The human body can survive a lot, but it has it's limitations and weakpoints. When a limb is missing, it cannot be replaced with another. We have prosthetics, yes, but they're bulky, they're inconvenient, and a lot of amputees prefer not to bother unless they need to. Killing a human, requires the heart to stop beating, and the body to be unable to recover enough to keep it beating. Or so is my understanding of these two topics, I've never lost a limb or died so take this with a pinch of salt perhaps.

All of this doesn't apply to an animatronic. What makes them alive, is not their body, and Fazbear Entertainment animatronics don't have the agency to decide what gets replaced and what doesn't anyway. Losing an arm is the same as a minor scratch on a human's arm. Kinda stings, but it can heal, or in their case, get fixed back up again. Any and all damage to them is like this, even if they can feel pain. Nothing like this is permanent for them.

Which leads me to believe that if you removed the battery, the heart, of an animatronic, it would still be considered alive. The battery can be replaced like anything else can. If it's flat, it can be recharged and reinstalled. Just like the damage, just like the rest of their bodies, the battery doesn't matter.

What removing the battery does, in my opinion, is put the animatronic on pause. Nothing functions without power, and they physically cannot be aware of anything, because nothing is functioning. I suppose it's more similar to a coma or unconsciousness if we're going to draw similarities to humans here. The important thing here, is that they're not dead. No animatronic would consider them as such, because they're still there. Non-functioning, appearing dead to any human eyes, but they know they're not. Stick a new battery in, patch up the damages and just like everything else, it's like it never happened.

So what does kill an animatronic? What is the important part of them that dictates whether they're alive or not? Well I dunno what they're specifically called in robotics or what their Fazname in the fnafverse is, but I've always called them personality chips. The things you put into the metal body, with all the programming, all the memories, and all the life is determined by those things. They're the most protected thing in the animatronic's body and the most expensive to replace. If you were to truly kill the animatronic, you would need to remove and destroy them.

This is the only type of permant damage an animatronic can have. A damaged chip that still functions, causes problems that may not be able to be fixed. And since those chips control every part of the body as well, damages to them effects everything.

What this means for Bonnie, to me, in the narrtive I have built, is that he's still considered to be alive. The battery was removed (violently) and he's heavily protected from anyone that could repair him and wake him up again. He has been stopped. He's been put on hold. He has been removed from the equation. That's it.

This logic applies to everyone they may have lost too. Foxy? Paused. Chica's Cupcake? Paused. The Minis that can't be woken up? Paused.

None of them are dead. Not a single one. Their chips are still around, and that means, their life is still intact. They've been put in stasis, but they're still there. They can come back.

Now, you may be wondering, what to do with this. If they can't die with the chips still intact, then how do you give them grief? How do they feel about an animatronic being on pause like this? The answer is simple!

Awful. It's fucking awful.

"But they can come back! It's not permanent!" you say, but that's not the issue now. It's not about where they are, what happened to them or whether they're truly dead or not. The issue now loops back around to them being animatronics.

Animatronics have no agency. They are not valued like a human life would be. Whether they're alive in all but body or not, they are still not human. They only exist, when it suits whoever owns them, and who owns these animatronics? Fazbaddecisions Entertainment.

How they value an animatronic is entirely based an money. That's it. Who they are, what they do and what they become is not their concern. If there's money to be made, money to be saved, or money to be lost, they care about it. Thoughts, feelings, justice, happiness, and most importantly, lives? That's not on their agenda unless they're covering up another dead guy. Fazbear Entertainment holds all the dice. They're the ones that make the call on what happens to an animatronic, day in and day out. And they don't care unless it involves money.

So, what does this mean for the animatronics in stasis? That are still alive but non-functioning? What does it mean for the animatronics still going about their daily duties? The ones that know their friends aren't dead and are still very much alive?

It means uncertainty. It means unreliability. It means unpredictability. It means some animatronics will go into stasis, and come back out within a few months, while others wake up a decade later. It means all the animatronics not in stasis, don't know when or if they will ever see their friends again. It means they don't know if they make enough money to not go into stasis for very long themselves. It means getting a new member of the team and the worst animatronic they really hoped had gone somewhere else was chosen instead of their best friend. It means a new version of their loved one with a new set of chips could show up and they have to smile at a duplicate that has no idea who they're even talking to, whilst wondering why.

This is just what their life is and always will be. The knowledge that they can be swapped out at any time. They can be here this year, go into stasis, and not come back for another five. There's a seething frustration with every animatronic they bring back, or every new animatronic they introduce to the world, when their friends are right there and ready to go. What makes these animatronics better than their loved ones? Why is there a new version of them and not the one they know and miss so much it hurts? No one is going to tell them if the chip got damaged. No one is going to tell them if an accident snuffed their life out in a milisecond. They can ask a member of staff, but every single one of them will have a different answer. So many of them have lied to them, and so many have hurt them without a second thought, that it's just not worth the risk.

And so, they are left to wonder why knowing full well they will never get an answer.

just saw a take so bad abt a character i like and actually my cat jusr walked in. i'm fine

[imaginarianisms]

more asoiaf comparisons, parallels & antiparallels to the first dance of the dragons vs the second & final dance of the dragons (& possibly the sixth blackfyre rebellion): the blacks being daenerys i targaryen's supporters, the golds being aegon vi targaryen's supporters, tommen baratheon being a close equivalent to gaemon palehair & his mother essie & sylvenna sand which may be interpreted as a parallel with queen cersei lannister & taena merryweather of myr, trystane truefyre being a close equivalent to aegon/young griff & perkin being jon connington & the shepherd being the new high septon the high sparrow, dalton greyjoy being euron i greyjoy's ancestor & the latter surpassing him, alyn waters later alyn velaryon resembling aurane waters later aurane velaryon & finishing what their ancestors started. history repeats itself.
