"thomas poste tss updates!" the updates in question:

My name is lemscipher. I made the au. It was difficult to write the peak

Name it like uhhh something edgy like eternal judgement

this is my tfs horror au design for henry!! horror au doesnt really narrow it much so ill try to explain:

its a more psychological horror version of tfs i guess? henry is a very strict christian who believes that god is punishing him for his sins with divine power and immortality due to the scar on his hand being shaped like the cross; he believes he is a god to some extent (or rather a vessel to a higher god which in this case is the mindflayer). the animal killings are sacrifices to the mindflayer like in the og show, but instead all of the things/people henry have killed have a cross carved into their heads. virginia and victor are even worse in their aspects, victor resorts to many more unhealthy coping mechanisms not just alcoholism (he does drugs, shoots things when hes angry etc.), virginia is a lot worse, much more abusive and even tries to exorcise henry at one point. henry is traumatised by all of this and it leads to a lot of self hatred and thinking that god hates him, and when hes eventually sent to the lab he thinks brenner is trying to rid him of his divine connection and is a lot more hostile towards him (hes also quite scared as he doesnt want to be drugged and end up like his father), brenner probably splashes henry with holy water or sm idk. if you want more info on this au feel free to lmk!!

pls also any name ideas for this au are appreciated "horror" is really shit 😭😭

Writing Notes: Kurt Vonnegut’s 8 Tenets of Storytelling

8 tips on how to write a good short story

Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.

Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.

Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.

Every sentence must do one of two things — reveal character or advance the action.

Start as close to the end as possible.

Be a Sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them-in order that the reader may see what they are made of.

Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.

Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. BUNNY BOY

hi guys I made a thing :3

[waumbgus03]

This is a follow-up to this post.

So to recap the point that was made in the other post, the mind flayer canonically tormented Mr. Newby with his past actions and believed he deserved to die because of it, Henry's monologue describes the same sentiment and in the same episode before the monologue Dustin says that Vecna and the mind flayer have the same motivations because Vecna is a part of the hive mind (under the mind flayers control), therefore telling us that we should be applying his motivations to the mind flayer.

As for why it developed its hatred of humanity, i think TFS shows us quite a bit regarding this.

I think the most important lines in the photo attached are:

"It's been rotting me, and that thing, it's like it could smell it" "Well maybe I shouldn't have, it told me his secret"

Because these lines are directly telling us that the things Henry says caused the development of his hatred of humanity AREN'T Henry's thoughts.

Clearly the mind flayer isn't just acting instinctively or whatever, and in fact no explanation of it's motivations have said that. Even the first time we are introduced to the concept of it wanting to kill everyone in S2, we aren't told that. We are told it believes it is SUPERIOR to humans. And the monologue explains why it thinks it is superior

And at the same time, the mind flayer was only introduced to the human world after coming into contact with Henry. It only sees things through his eyes, and that explains why the monologue can be the mind flayers motivations and still be so heavily connected to Henry's pov and the things HE would've experienced.

We actually see this pretty directly shown in TFS. Specifically, regarding Virginia.

When Virginia hits Henry in the attic, he says "you can't tell us what to do anymore..." and she replies with "Us?" And he starts to torment her with her fear of spiders, and has spider legs grow out of his back. yknow

But after she's ran away, he sings Tonight You Belong to Me and Alice comes up and says that "he" isn't Henry. Of course, we could've known this because he speaks in plural and this is called out by Virginia, but still that's direct confirmation that Henry isn't doing this.

Which... actually tells us A LOT about the mind flayer. it hates Henry's abuser, and not just because she is an abuser, but specifically because she is "their" abuser.

There's also the line when Brenner says that Henry killed his own mother and he replies in the deep voice "She betrayed us." Kinda surprised no one talks about that, literally the mind flayer defending killing Virginia because of what she did to Henry-

(I mean, theres also a massive parallel here with Henry and El. "Henry" wants to kill everyone but sees El as an exception and wants her to be part of the perfect world he'll create. In the attic Henry is show with tentacles in his back holding him up and when the mind flayer takes the form of Patty's mom she has the Vecna arm. the mind flayer intended for Henry to look like Vecna and it hates humans so of course it'd want Henry to look more monster-like than human.)

Something that is also interesting is that the mind flayer appears above Henderson Liquor when Prancer is getting killed and it's shapeless. After the scene in the attic where it equates itself and a spider because of Virginia's fear (side note; humanized mind flayer designs should have the spider legs lol), it appears above a bunch of different scenes and it's in the spider shape.

Basically from a thematic standpoint, the mind flayer was pretty much a blank slate, represented by it having no real form (fits with shadows only existing because of the things they take the shape of), that sees the world through Henry's eyes and Henry being abused causes it to develop its motivations that we see in the monologue. This plays into the idea of identity that Kate has talked about regarding TFS, with it according to her being about Henry fighting for his identity.

The mind flayer is in control of the hive mind, and Henry is being forced to conform to it. But at the same time, the mind flayer had no concept of human identity. It comes into contact with the human world and starts to develop an identity - it uses the spider symbol because of Virginia and even goes from using it/its pronouns to using he/him by the time Will is possessed.

The thing also with the spiders is that Virginia is afraid of them because she associates them with her fathers abuse. They are used as a symbol for the cycle of abuse, and so i think this fits pretty well.

I have more to say about this but I think this is a good starting point for talking about my interpretation lol, sorry if this sounds like a random jumble of thoughts i have a hard time putting this into words

Why is it when I try to search and find content about How Fish is Made, it's all Mouthwashing? They're two entirely different fucking games.

I love Mouthwashing, ok, but it's not what I'm searching up. Wth. There is nothing anywhere that is JUST ABOUT HFIM. Which infuriates me. I love that fucking game. It's short, it's grimy, it's completely unserious, and yet it has so much to say and so much to unpack afterwards. I adore it. I could talk for so long about it. Yet? Its tag? It's all filled with Mouthwashing content.

Yes, i know they're the only two published games by Wrong Organ. Yes, I know the HFIM DLC was actually made to promote Mouthwashing. It still pmo that for some reason, the horribly vast majority refuses to see it as it's own unique and respective stand-alone title. It deserves to be talked about. I think the biggest thing that you come away from with the game is a discussion opener. And yet... gah.

Am I alone on this?

Friendly reminder to the Fnaf fandom that according to official Steel Wool art, this is what Michael looks like at the time of Fnaf 1.

Notably, he is

Strikingly young looking (Probably barely past 19)

Scared and meekly hiding behind a clipboard

Crying his eyes out

and very heavily associated with the color blue.

This is literally just The BiteVictim grown up by 10 years.

[waumbgus03]

He can be scooped like Michael and carry around a shadow-infested plush like Garrett/David/whoever the fuck

just had a terrifying thought of henry getting flayed like circus baby's scooper / how mike gets scooped and.. well.

[waumbgus03]

well, i guess ive been wrong about the mind flayer this whole time. uh. good thing ive been falling out of love with st anyway

Radical

Matt n kev

Brain freeze

Poppy Playtime fanartists... I have noticed you have been strictly drawing Kevin in regards to how the evil scientists see him, boiling down to the stereotypical traits of his disability and children in his situation the same way the cruel members of his life do, in spite of him having other canonical character traits... In front of you is a pencil and paper. You have 24 hours to draw Kevin exhibiting something other than rage, hatefulness, or annoyance. If this task is not completed I will drop you into the Doey goop

I'm gonna be so annoying sometime this year.
