Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog! Since this is such a long series, I decided I would do FNAF one week and then something different the next and then rotate with that! Thank you all for reading, and I will start back up right where we left off! AS ALWAYS; content warning.

1988: After murdering his wife, William sank deeper into his insanity and started working on more animatronics to accompany circus baby in his journey to murder more innocent children. This was when he created Funtime Freddy, Ballora (based on his wife), and Funtime Foxy. Without a restaurant or establishment, there would be no way to get children in contact with these animatronics, so William opened up something different. He created an underground facility called Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rentals, where parents or companies could RENT out the animatronics for parties and such. By now, you should already know, but almost all of the animatronics are now possessed by the children who William had murdered. Keep this in mind as the Lore tends to get a little confusing.

1989: William Afton, angry and frustrated with Henry Emily’s success in the new restaurant, snuck in late at night. He sought to destroy the creations that he had helped create. He knew the children were in there still, maybe not their bodies but their souls. After he snuck in, he took a crowbar to the animatronics, freeing the children’s souls from their cages. They were still angry, more than angry. The children’s spirits surrounded William, and it scared him so much he tried to find a way to get them to leave him alone. That’s when he found the spring bonnie suit that he used all those years ago, and he got into it. Due to all the stress and fear, William was sweating his skin off in the suit. If you remember my earlier blogs, you would know that moisture of any kind and the spring lock suit which he wore could not coincide. The spring locks clamped down on his entire body just like it had done his son. He bled to death inside the suit, transferring his soul to inhabit the spring lock suit forever.

1989: The morning after those events, Henry, the establishment owner, entered his restaurant. He found William’s body and decided that karma had gotten to him this time. Not wanting to deal with the press, Henry closed off that room of the establishment and never opened it again. 

1993: Many complaints have been coming from the customers and other people outside of the franchise for years. This and many investigative reports into Henry Emily and who he has worked with in the past caused Henry to shut down Freddy’s once again. He lost money quickly and couldn’t afford to keep the place open without any customers. He didn’t have any plans to open any more restaurants or establishments, but there was just one thing that he couldn’t get out of his mind. His deceased daughter, who he believed to be possessing the puppet animatronic. Though, to his surprise, the puppet animatronic was missing. After the prior restaurant shut down, he couldn’t find it. He just figured someone stole it. He tried to forget, but he just couldn’t, so he created the animatronic called Lefty, which looked like a black version of Freddy. Lefty’s whole purpose was to find and capture the puppet so he could either break it and set his daughter’s soul free or keep it in search of his daughter furthermore.

Thank you everyone for reading this week! Keep an eye out for next week as I will be posting something different! Cya!

greetings, blog world! as of the moment i’m writing this, it’s february 1st, 2022… harold styles’ 28th birthday! i couldn’t resist writing a quick rant about what makes him one of my favorite people.

picture it- 2011, a young girl sits at a family computer, smiling goofily at the five guys on the scratched screen, singing whatever idiotic lyrics have been served up to them on a silver platter. now, in case you didn’t pick up on that extremely obscure symbolism- the girl is me, and the band is none other than one direction. i loved them so much as a kid, despite rarely actually listening to their music. there was just something about them that was so electric and sweet, and i’m certainly not the only 2010s kid who can tell you all about the effect they had/have on us. now, personally, i was always a louis gal, and seeing them in las vegas when i was 9 certainly confirmed it. (he smiled at me. we made eye contact. i swear!) 

however, as i got older, i graduated to different interests and looked back on that time with a twinge of embarrassment, as i’m not really used to having conventional interests for people my age, and it seemed like a fluke. i still loved some of their older songs for nostalgic reasons, but i didn’t really think too much about the brits anymore. then, harry released his solo album, and the rest is history. tattoos, rock influence, live performances (his is one of the best concerts i’ve ever been to) and ugly sweaters drew me in like a siren, and suddenly i’m dedicating a birthday post to some british guy who will never know i’m even alive. but, honestly, i think that’s okay. it’s been a stressful few weeks… well, it’s been a stressful few years. and harry has helped me along the way, whether he knows it or not, so i’m thankful for him.

my friends from home and i absolutely love harry and share a bond over him and his music. sometimes, i find myself a little embarrassed to have such a common interest, simply because i’m not used to that. however, i’m steadily realizing that i’m allowed to openly enjoy things! giving myself the freedom to simply say, “yeah, i like twilight and harry styles and lots of other things you might think are dumb. but they comfort me, and they aren’t hurting anyone, so i shouldn’t have to feel judged for it,” is genuinely changing my life for the better.

anyway… now that i’ve said my piece about how the term “basic” should be eliminated from our pop culture vocabulary (more on that later, dear reader), i’d like to close this out by saying thank you. thank you, reader, for taking the time to skim these silly words. thank you, blog world, for giving me a place to put them. and thank you, mr. styles, for being one of the coolest, goofiest, best-looking british fellows around. happy birthday, harold!

Five Nights At Freddy’s is an extremely underground video game series with five games (one for each night) created by Mark Edward Fischbach, commonly known on twitch as Jacksepticeye. It has a very simple story that everyone has been able to piece together entirely.

The first game takes place in the year 2012. You play as the cook in a five star restaurant in New York called Freddy’s. You have to play through the game while attempting to romance certain characters. You’re given a wide variety of paths to choose from. You have Foxy Felicia, Chic Charlie, Brilliant Bonnibel, and Golden Gabby. The rest of the games follow this exact story, but in subsequent years.

The overarching plot, however, is extremely bland. You’re facing bad publicity due to an unrelated nobody pizza place called “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza” that has had some issues with child murderers (along with terrible food and sanitary conditions). You, the protagonist, William Afton, have to separate your workplace from these bad rumors, and keep your place at the top of the Super Restaurant Chart. Upon failure, the world explodes, leaving nothing left but you and a weird decaying head of some golden bear thing.

Things change. That’s the way life is. Sometimes change can affect us in ways we don’t expect. To some extent, this is what happened to me. I became obsessed with change. Specifically with my writing. I had grown tired of the way my writing was, and tired of the topics I was covering. I wanted to find a “simplicity” that I could use. After all, writing like you’ve lost your mind can very easily cause one to lose their mind.

More importantly, I had grown to have a better perception of who I was. All of my writing had become a cry for stability and identity. Well, that’s what I had thought at the time. What it really was, was a cry out of desperation. I had trapped myself in a cycle of sorts where I couldn’t give way to anything that I felt was meaningful.

This caused a dissonance between me and my writing. Affecting me to the extent that I had temporarily stopped writing altogether. Of course, that didn’t last long. I’m a writer, that’s the one thing that I can say with certainty.

I haven’t lost that dissonance quite yet, but I believe that that is a good thing. It has become much less of a dissonance between me and my writing, but simply between me and myself. It is a dissonance that I can use within my writing to improve my skills.

But regardless, I believe that over the next few months, I will be writing in search of “Serenity”.

I bet yall thought I wasn’t gonna come back to this blog thing. Not so, although I didn’t have any intention of coming back to blogging this year. A while back I came up with the idea of a making a blog focusing on a worldbuilding project of mine. My plan was to work on this school year, as well as over the summer break. Then when the next school year rolls around I could post pages from that book and not miss a blog deadline. Thought I think I’ve done far to much as of now to keep quiet about it anymore, thus why I’m starting now and not next year.

So Ill be posting a picture of my work on this work weekly as my blog, thought this comes with one catch. It will be your job to interpret what’s going on in those pictures, as I will be giving little to no context.

Also keep in mind most of this is subject to change, and to leave any ideas, suggestions, or explanations as to what’s going on in each drawing.

I think it’s safe to say that I had an abnormal obsession with Kingdom Hearts growing up. Despite being obsessed with the main characters, I really fell in love with the plot line. I love that it’s very confusing yet simplistic with childlike undertones. There were so many aspects to this games that really made it stand out in the early 2000s. It made the 13 year wait all worth it.

the perfect trio

These games have a way of building very strong trios. They all have a range of different personalities that makes us just love them so much. The one that stands out to me the most during this entire series is the relationship between Aqua, Ventus, and Terra. It’s almost similar to Sora’s and his friends, but I personally feel as though it’s stronger. They’re like a very close-nit family that would do absolutely anything for each other. In Birth by Sleep, I would usually play as Aqua, and her love for those two was very admirable. Once she learns of Terra running away she doesn’t hesitate to go after him and make sure he stays in the light. She also makes sure Ventus is safe no matter what. Sadly, by the end of the game they all get separated because of an “evil force”. I won’t ruin it for you just incase you want to play it.

the worlds

My favorite aspect of these games is the incorporation of the Disney franchise. The gameplay is basically you jumping into different Disney “worlds” as you follow the plotline. For example there is a Toy Story world were you play in the setting of Toy Story. There is also a world for Big Hero 6 and Frozen in the most recent games. I find it something very interesting to take these original Disney stories and further them more through games. It personally helped me to fill in holes left from the Disney originals and further look into the lives of the characters.

my favorite world

Growing up I also had an unhealthy obsession with The Little Mermaid. I had the dress, the outfit, the flipper, the hair, the table, the cups, the utensils, and a unmundane sized doll. So, you could imagine my surprise when I saw that it was one of the worlds on Kingdom Hearts II. I think that had to be the best storyline for me because I loved seeing Sora and Ariel develop each other’s personality. Sora’s whole thing is that he learns to be a hero by going through these different worlds and learning these lessons from Disney characters. I just really love that aspect of it as well as the plot of friendships in this game.

Though I love the aesthetic and pleasant character developments of The Little Mermaid’s world, I really value the combat aspects  in Big Hero 6’s world in the latest game Kingdom Hearts III. The animation for these games has always been ahead of it’s time. The development of setting for Big Hero 6 is something I couldn’t have ever been prepared for. There’s a whole thing about the Keyblades, which can be interchangeable, that helps you fight the “bad guys” in this game. You get a new one based on the world you just beat. The best ones in my opinion are from Big Hero 6 and Frozen. The Big Hero 6 keyblade is based off of the Nano tech that Hiro Hamada developed in the movie. It has a feature that if you build of enough momentum you can do a special attack, and I personally think it’s one of the best ones. You should really watch the gameplay or even play yourself. It’s a very wholesome and interesting series to follow. It also has a manga for people who prefer to read it.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog! Last time we left off on a bit of a cliffhanger. I like to keep you guys interested. So, we’re going to continue the story today after we left off with William Afton finding his next target in the daughter of Henry Emily, Charlotte.

1984: After William decided who was next, he decided how to orchestrate his actions. As I mentioned in my last blog, The puppet/ Marionette is the sole security bot for Charlotte. William knew this and started trying to figure out a way around this. He soon found out that the puppet is dependent on the box it inhabits being open for when it needs to leave to protect Charlotte, so William figured he could put something on top of it to keep the lid closed. After crafting his plan, he put it in motion the next day. He disguised himself and placed a heavy box on top of the puppet’s box. Coincidentally, Charlotte was also trapped outside of the Pizzeria. This was when William would strike, killing charlotte in the alleyway outside of Freddy’s in the rain. He simply leaves afterward. The puppet had been trying to get out of the box this whole time, but when it finally knocked the lid off, it was too late. The puppet found Charlotte, but the heavy rain broke it down quickly. Seeing that its mission had failed, the puppet rested by Charlotte’s body.

1984: After a wonderful high, William was desperate for another, and his eyes were set on the new Pizzeria with the toy animatronics. He figured out a way to get into the place without the alarms setting off; the spring bonnie suit. In that suit, he recreated his first massacre with another five children in this restaurant. Just like the other five children, these most recent ones were given a second chance by being able to possess the new toy animatronics. This is why all the Toy animatronics in FNAF 2 want to get into your office so bad. They want to see if it’s William becoming the nightguard. They want to take their own revenge.

1987: THE BITE OF 87′. You’ve all been waiting for this one. If you’re familiar with the games, you know that in the second FNAF game, there is an animatronic dubbed ‘Mangle.’ This name was given to the animatronic due to its mangled state. The children that often visited the pizzeria weren’t the best at keeping things nice, and every day they would come and tear Mangle to shreds. Eventually, the workers just stopped repairing them. This angered Mangle and the other animatronics. One day, Mangle had been pushed to the breaking point of getting torn up every day and bit down on one of the children’s heads, damaging the frontal lobe seriously. After this incident, all toy animatronics were now scraped due to these “malfunctions.”

1988: After the closing of the previous restaurant, Henry was contacted to create a new restaurant with all new animatronics. He took on the job, but only if he could create the animatronics himself so no other mishaps like William’s could occur. This is where the FNAF 1 animatronics come in. While this is happening, the Afton family is having a tiny itty bitty issue at home. William’s wife is very distraught over the events, trying to force Michael to go with William because she hated them both… but then, she stopped talking. William stabbed her in the stomach, eventually killing her. There are some THEORIES about what happens to Mrs. Afton’s spirit. Some people believe she goes on to possess ballora because of the Afton family dinner scene in the new FNAF game, and some believe that she rests. Either way, she’s dead.

 

That’s all for this week everyone! Thanks for reading and I will see you next time!

As promised, this week’s blog is a continuation of the list from last week. I won’t waste time with an introduction, I’ll simply through you directly into the musically styling of Rebecca Sugar and company. Enjoy 🙂

5) What’s the Use of Feeling? 

Now, I will wholeheartedly stand by miss Patti Lupone for the rest of my days, and yes this song is the reason. I still vividly remember the days when the Diamonds were shrouded in mystery, and this episode was one of my favorite things. When Steven Universe was still based largely on Earth, visit into space such as this one were major, and seeing TWO diamonds? Literal star eyes. Plus, Yellow Diamond is an interstellar vocalist. 

Favorite Line: The pearl harmony at the beginning (yes I’m a yellow pearl stan)

4) Disobedient 

Oh, you wanna talk songs that I can absolutely jam to? This. Just this. No thoughts, just this. Granted, I’m a sucker for each and every Sadie song, but the combination of her and Amethyst is a combination I did not know I needed and will never live without. Their voices mesh so well together and it just scratches that one place in my brain, ya know? This song was so close to making the top three, and it breaks my heart to rob it of that, but I can (and will) still listen to it on loop regardless, so I guess it’s okay. 

Favorite Line: I stood awake wondering where my summers went, I wanna be disobedient. 

3) Stronger Than You

This song is, I’m not even joking, the first memory I associate with Steven Universe. At first, I was not watching the series linearly and this episode, and this song specifically, was the reason that I decided to dedicate myself to watching this franchise. I fell in love with Garnet, her voice, and Estelle right then and there, and Ruby and Sapphire are now my love standard. No, I will not be accepting criticism. Easily earned it’s top three spot. 

Favorite Line: I am made of love. Simple poetry. 

2) Other Friends

Oh, my darling baby Spinel. I’m not going to say that I’m completely obsessed with this character, but if she told me she wanted to end Steven, I would tell him to hold still. Spinel is so wonderful and I adore her, and “Other Friends” has that perfect theme to her. Out of all of her songs, save the ever emotional “Drift Away”, this song fits her best, hands down. Plus, it was admittedly nice to see her triumph so easily over the Crystal Gems. My girl is a battlefield queen. 

Favorite Line: Let’s play another game, this time I get to win! (You tell ’em, girl!)

And now, what you’ve all been waiting for, number one! 

1) Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star)

Now, hear me out. I have never felt the notes of a song hit my soul as I did when I heard Sadie singing this for the first time. It was entirely, utterly perfect to me, and still is to this day. Plus, it was the beginning of her absolutely incredible character arc! Even the episode itself was amazing, and I loved that the show took time to explore the human relationships of the world, especially the relatable ones like that between Sadie and her mother. Honestly, Steven’s rendition of the song wasn’t awful, but Sadie’s was and always will be better. 

Favorite Line: “Haven’t you noticed I’ve made it this far? Now everyone can see me burning.” Now that one hit. 

Alright, and that’s the main list completed! Thank you for coming along on the journey, everyone! Next week, I’ll finish off with the honorable mentions as I make my way into my next Steven Universe related blog entry! Until then. 

Sincerely, someone coming into view as the world is turning. 

I’ve always loved the simple things. Things so simple that they make you appreciated the more intricately good things. I thought about it yesterday when I was on the phone with my parents and they asked, “How was your day?”  To which I replied, “It was a pleasantly average day.” One of my favorite things is pleasantly average days. Not necessarily good or bad, just a day where you do your tasks and have average conversations and go home feeling averagely tired. That is my favorite simple thing. 

I’ve been trying to focus on things like that lately. Things that I find average, simple, etc. Simple things that make me happy. Like the smell of rain. Laughing. The sound of crunchy leaves. Warm jackets. 

Anyways, I think it is so incredibly cool that we, as humans, have the ability to find such joy in plain things, and I hope that we never lose that ability.

 

hey, blog. i’m feeling a little out of my element this week, and i honestly haven’t had any inspiration for a topic for this week’s post. i decided i would do something weird and unnecessary, as always. in this blog, i will be stating some of my opinions with absolutely no context whatsoever. just throwing them out there. nothing problematic or inappropriate,  just hills that i’ll die on, whether silly, controversial, or just entirely outrageous. red flags abound.

#1 garlic is disgusting

#2 jonathan byers from stranger things deserves better

#3 monica lewinsky is an underappreciated feminist icon and an overall genius

#4 paul westerburg is one of the best, most overlooked rockstars

#5 laura flynn boyle ruined “twin peaks” (side note: audrey and cooper should have ended up together. you just couldn’t let us be happy, could ya, lfb?)

#6 cheer is the most difficult sport

#7 rose is a better character than jack in “titanic”

#8 bill and beverly should have ended up together in “it”

#9 linda ronstadt’s cover of ‘desperado’ is better than the original

#10 esme is the best cullen woman

 

to finish off this train wreck, here’s a picture of paul westerburg. ’til next week 🙂
