Hello once again people of Tumblr! I’m back to show another wacky video I’ve been working on. It’s a FNaF “parody” song based on Golden Freddy I made with one of my friends. We worked for a little over a week to make this music video so please consider watching it! https://youtu.be/ePO6hiwoBrs?si=9Ojk5Hi4OMqQ7ZDW
So. Springtrap in Dead by Daylight. After years of hype, speculation, backlash, and one incident that raised hell, he's finally coming to the game, and became playable in the Dead by Daylight Public Test Branch.
And you know what? I have...
Some Thoughts.
The Party Begins Now.
Let's start with the star of the show, Springtrap.
I'm genuinely surprised at how fun he is.
The anniversary reveal stream really didn't sell me on him, especially once I heard the words "fire axe" mentioned. Though, it didn't help that I could barely hear anything anyway, and only ended up hearing every other sentence. I thought he was gonna be pretty boring once I got into the game/heard about how he worked from my friends.
And then I had my first round against him.
And I realized "Oh shit, this is awesome."
The fireaxe isn't just a reskinned hatchet, it embeds itself into you and you have to take it out in order to heal yourself. And if he catches up, he won't just stab you-- he'll grab the axe and instantly pick you up, with a lovely little roar. When that axe first hit, it genuinely made me freak out and I absolutely loved it. But what happens if you suck ass overshot it a little bit? Well, then it embeds into the ground and leaves you liable to any sort of effects the add-ons give the axe. Haste, hindrance, oblivious, you can even make it expand over time at the cost of losing it's effect by half. He can also call it back to himself and is so much more heavy than any other projectile in the game as far as I can tell. I'm shocked they made this burnt stick work so well.
But that's not all...
There's also these doors! Oh boy
So, these doors were clearly related to his power, they look out of place even in those screenshots and have a camera on top of them. And they do what you expect, they allow you to watch him on the cameras and reveal his aura to the rest of team. They run on a universal battery. Alright, makes sense.
And you can also walk through them. Oh, okay, so they serve as a way to go across the map with a cute little cutscene every time you use them.
Then Springtrap appears from one of the doors as you go in. Uh oh
Yeah, both sides can use the doors, and if you use them at the same time as Springtrap does, you get jumpscared and taken back out to be hooked.
I love this.
Such a clever way to translate the office/camera gameplay to a game like DbD, and the craziest thing?
It's fun on both sides.
So after I died horribly against Springtrap, I decided to be Springtrap.
(After like a 20-30 minute queue. Surprise, everyone wants to be possibly the most requested license in DbD history.)
And even though I got one kill, I loved every second of it.
Chasing people around the map, throwing axes into their shoulders, and catching people on cameras and the office, I'm still shocked by how fun it was.
But now, onto the next part of Springtrap.
The walking iron maiden himself.
I'm Going To Enjoy This.
Similar to the gameplay, when we got our first look at Springtrap's model, I wasn't impressed. The renders didn't endear him to me like the artwork did, it made him look a lot more bland than he looks in-game. I think the lack of torso detail and the lighting in them mainly makes him look too clean. In-game, where the lighting is able to do it's work, he looks fantastic and pretty much exactly how he looked in FNaF3.
Now, as for his animations and voice? Perfect. There are some issues with the animations, but those mainly are stuff like survivors flipping around when picked up or the camera messing up when grabbed, nothing really on his side. And his voice? Oh, I'm so glad they got PJ Heywood back for this. It's a different take on Afton compared to his previous iterations, but it fits Springtrap really well. What should've been his demise became his saviour, and he's LOVING it. I also love the reuse/re-contextualization of lines, dare I say one of my favorite details about him.
And his mori? My god.
So, it starts off pretty simple at first, he grabs you by the head and stabs you through the chest, bringing you off the ground. After you're up, he walks forward and says a line, and then he appears.
An endoskeleton that's been modified to have a ton of sawblades on it, turns towards them both, and Afton throws you onto it. It blends the survivor up from behind, sending bone, brain matter, and some blood onto Afton's face, before dropping them and letting all the blood rush out onto the ground. Then he gives a jumpscare right before it ends.
Now, I won't say this is what I expected from the Springtrap Mori. I expected a really simple "Jumpscare -> Stab -> Whatever his power is" because that's what I thought they'd do. So when that happened, I was so excited because of how out there it was. I know some people, including a few friends, think it's a bit too strange or that it doesn't make much sense, but I feel it works pretty damn well. Shoutout to Blendo, he makes things so much better.
The Darkest Pit Of Hell Is Open For Business!
Last, but not least, the map that comes with Springtrap.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
I won't lie, I was hoping it'd be just the smallest bit bigger.
I like walking through it, seeing all the details from the posters to the little plushies Foxy and other random toys that appear throughout the establishment, but it does feel just a little lacking. Even a single hallway to an office that's been broken open to the outside would've worked. The use of the movie aesthetics isn't bad either, the sign is just a tad distracting. Also, they gave Freddy a red bowtie on said posters and I can't tell if it's an honest mistake or something done to show how little the company cares about something as simple as the mascot's bowtie. I got a friend who thinks it's a beta reference so ???
But moving on from that, it's a good map. I'm okay with the idea to use the same aesthetic as Greenville Square, the fleshy mass that breaks through the building is cool and adds to the idea that the place itself is just fucked up, and it's already one of my favorite maps anyway. There's some fun easter eggs, the heads in the backroom follow you, a bloody endo pops out a vent, ovens turn the heat up when you walk past, and Freddy and the Gang try to preform before short circuiting. Strangely enough, there's no real hint of Foxy anywhere besides the crowd poster and his plush. I'm hoping Foxy does make an appearance somewhere in this chapter, even if it's something as simple as him replacing the Blendo in the backroom. Still hoping for a Foxy-Blight skin tho.
You Belong Here.
There's a ton more stuff I probably could've said, and much more stuff that I probably will. The skins, the add-ons, the builds, what Springtrap means for DbD's Future, and how he compares to other anniversary killers such as Ghost Face, Vecna, Singularity, hell even Huntress!
But that's for another day. Soon, the PTB will be over, and Springtrap will be locked away. And just quickly, he'll be back. And we have just the place for him.
also i like phantom fear, it's a really funny perk and i like the idea of forcing people not to look at the giant green bunny
My daughter Lama, with a heart as pure as a flower, carries pain greater than her years. She was injured in the war, and a metal plate was placed in her small hand. But the pain doesn't stop there... She needs care, medicine, food... and we have nothing. No medicine, no food, not even a loaf of bread.
We live under a siege that silently kills us. I beg you, from the depths of my heart... help her if you can, or share this plea so it reaches those with the ability and compassion.
Lama deserves life. Why are you ignoring me? Hasn't it come time for us to take action and stand together against this injustice?
My name is Abdelmajed.
I never imagined I’d be sharing my story like this, but life in Gaza has become unbearable. I am a survivor of the war here, and in the blink of an eye, everything I once knew—my home, my safety, my community—was ripped away from me.
The war has transformed Gaza into a graveyard of broken dreams. The buildings that once stood as symbols of life and resilience are now piles of rubble. Every corner is filled with the echoes of explosions. Every moment is shrouded in uncertainty. There is no security. There is no stability. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.
Basic needs have become luxuries.
Food is scarce. Clean water is even scarcer. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, and there is almost no medical care to be found. Every night, families go to bed hungry, praying they’ll wake up to see another day. The cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed, and it’s become a daily battle just to survive.
I’ve seen things I never thought possible—standing in long lines for a piece of bread, rationing every drop of water, and watching my people suffer in silence. I have lost everything—my home, my safety, my dignity.
Escape from Gaza is my only hope,
but it’s almost impossible without financial help. The cost of evacuation is far beyond my means, and without support, I’m trapped in a warzone with no way out.
I’m reaching out to you now, in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance—just a chance—to live. A chance to escape this never-ending cycle of fear, destruction, and loss. A chance to rebuild my life somewhere safe, where I can begin again, where I can find hope once more.
My name is Abdelmajed, and I am a survivor of the war in Gaza. Everything I once knew has been taken away—my home, my safety, and the people
Any amount you can give will help me get closer to safety.
Even the smallest donation will make a difference—it could be the lifeline I need to survive. If you are unable to donate, please share my story. The more people who hear it, the better the chance that I can find the support I desperately need.
Your kindness and support mean the world to me. You’re not just helping me escape a war; you’re giving me a chance to live, to rebuild, to breathe again.
Me and one of my friends made a silly parody song a couple weeks ago and I decided to put a little music video together in Gmod for it. If you think you'd enjoy a stupid video about Let It Be by The Beatles and also birthdays please give it a watch!!
Listen, I love Cult of the Lamb it’s one of my top three favorite games of all time. And I love Shamura just as much, I think they’re an interesting character and have some great lore.
Im so sorry for not posting here, i got very overwhelmed by ena being on trending so i halted my ena posting streak. Back to normal daily art soon. Love.
Almost forgot to draw something so sorry if these looked a little rushed:P Couldn’t think of something funny for Yammie to do so instead take a funny little Fluffy and Luna comic!
i wanted to start drawing her just in random little places just giving random thoughts on anything to like help define her more or whatever. i’ll probably need some time to actually think her out more before i start making a bunch of these little things.
hopefully you guys still like these tho, please consider giving it a like!
this entered my mind while listening to one of the best songs ever (Freeze Freeman Freeze! by Vandoorea) like two weeks ago
it's awesome, listen to it now
i might put out a non-gif version (and maybe even a video. . .) later, but no promises
also check out my pal @frostypyroreal's stuff, she's doing some great things and i don't think they're getting enough attention
