No art this chapter but I'll give some cut content!
Idk if anyone enjoyed the segment where the Glamrocks were taking turns impersonating the way that the hivemind speak, but... in my original draft, I had Freddy give an impression as well! This dialogue picks up directly after Monty does his (kind of terrible) impression:
“That one was terrible, Monty,” Freddy states, but he’s chuckling into his glass.
“YOU try’n do better, old man! Let’s hear it,” the gator prompts indignantly. Freddy narrows his eyes and sets the glass down, clearing his throat. The room leans in.
“‘Fear not - your vocal chords will continue to scream even after you stop,’” he says matter-of-factly. There’s a pause as the room gawks, and Freddy smiles in satisfaction even while Bonnie is leveling him with flat, unimpressed smile.
“Damn,” Roxanne states.
“You call yourself a therapist!” Monty finally finds his words.
“Don’t dish it if you can’t take it, Monty,” you laugh. Monty’s gaze turns to you - before he grins. You suddenly feel you’ve made a mistake.
“Ya must have one that can beat Freddy’s, then, huh?” He asks you.
“...I never said I could take it,” you say into your juice, averting your eyes. And the gator howls.
“HAH! There, ya see? Hypocrisy!”
“Big word for a big dummy–” and Monty flicks a piece of food at Chica. She squawks indignantly.

Removed mainly because it felt like the scene was already going a bit too long, and... I wasn't really sure about Freddy's joke? Like I could see him popping off with something shocking, but I wasn't committed enough to the idea of it haha. I also just felt the flow was a bit odd here, and MC chiming in like that struck me as slightly off-tune. It still makes me smile a little though! Directly after this we pick up where Roxanne tells MC to share what the hive took from her. Anyway just figured I'd share here for #posterity lol
