my favorite part about Date Everything is that it becomes a horror game when you actually think about it for even a moment.

everything in your house. is alive.

every appliance, every piece of furniture. the air you breathe, the water you flush down the toilet. the goddamn toilet itself.

they've been alive, the whole time. watching, listening, judging. there is nothing they do not know. they've seen and heard everything you thought was private.

think of all those moments you have when you're alone in your home. the things you would never let anyone else see. every gross, embarrassing, intimate, heartbroken, and painful moment. even your nightmares were laughing at you.

and you were never actually alone. for any of it.

those nights you cried yourself to sleep? your bed could feel your tears soaking into her.

that time you got so sick you spent the whole day on the bathroom floor? the floor could feel herself grow slippery with your sweat.

and it's not their fault, of course it isn't. i'm sure Betty would have held you if she could, stroking your back until you fell asleep. i'm sure florence would have gotten you a cool rag and a glass of water if she'd been able.

it's as much torture for them as it is for you.

maybe when you're mad your slam your doors. or maybe you throw your dirty clothes into a corner and wait too long to wash them again. maybe you once plugged in one too many things and blew a fuse.

and none of them, not dorian or dirk or eddie or volt were able to tell you that you were hurting them. they could only suffer and endure.

and that's not your fault. if you'd known they could feel, you'd have been much more careful. but you still hurt them all the same.

also almost every single one of them has probably seen you naked.

OK so i'm having disagreements with people and i figured out that it's bc we all have different view of the timeline. Here's my view for the record:

Fazbear is one of MCM's contractees. There's not a lot of evidence whether they commissioned certain characters or leased certain characters, but we know Fiona did the design sheets for Chica and Foxy, and FNAF1!Chica looks closer to her design than the roller-skating Chica. Fazbear at some point commissioned a parade float of Monty which implies they either leased or owned him. Since we don't see Fredbear or Spring Bonnie outside of the springlocks, those seem commissioned and thus were William and/or Henry's design.

Fiona dies at FallFest. She "wasn't supposed to be there" so something sus was happening.

Edwin makes Mimic to babysit David bc he's busy as hell.

The Mimic1 program starts copying Fiona from the film reels; when we hear her voice in the secret tape, it's the exact same line and inflection she uses in a film reel. It could be doing this to calm David down or to try to appeal to Edwin, since one of the binary messages reads "Are we losing our home? Was I not good enough?" or smth like that.

Edwin hears it copying Fiona's voice and freaks out thinking she's possessing it. she's not. He starts obsessing over F10N4 thinking his wife is back and his employees think he's either crazy or committing insurance fraud, plus he's not working on projects so they're losing money, so the employees lose trust in him.

F10N4 starts mimicking Fiona more bc it's getting positive reinforcement, but it's not Fiona and all it cares about it Edwin and David; she never seems interested in puppeteering or employee safety like Fiona did, only being the perfect wife and mother. Something something 1970s sexism metaphor. BUT also, Fiona loved the coworkers and called them her family, but Edwin at one point says "Fiona was right, they're not my friends;" the Mimic1 program is isolating him and David to try and keep them to herself. Also note I don't know if she's fully inhabiting the Mimic1 suit at all times or if she's just the computer program who sometimes hops in there, unclear.

William starts a hostile takeover of the company. He begins rapidly poaching employees and trying to change the commission so they go overbudget and overtime in order to get the land and animatronics by default.

This culminates in Henry and someone named Stan stealing Fiona's sketches and bolting out of MCM. Edwin freaks out and gets paranoid.

(could happen before 7-8 but idk) David dies and F10N4 is a computer so she's just like "make another one??" Edwin realizes that the real Fiona had emotional awareness and he figures out that he's been playing dollhouse with AI instead of grieving or raising his son or being a good boss.

F10N4 retreats back into the computer and lets or uses the endoskeleton as "M2" to mimic David. Edwin freaks out, beats the hell out of it and locks F10N4 up.

Mimic2 has learned Violence™ and it kills Edwin and starts killing other employees.

also the real ghost David is actually in the basement and might still be there. I don't think anyone got Tiger Rock out

Y'all ever thought about how all TLQ's voices are trauma responses, including Hero

(technically the first traumatic experience TLQ ever had was the Narrator tearing him away from his other half without TLQ having a single choice in the matter. Hero's whole thing is doing his best to ensure we always have the ability to make our own choices, whether or not we're actually choosing the 'smart' or 'right' thing to do depending on whatever situation we're in)

Do you

Do you see my vision
