[dreambonesgames]

how big of a game do you think bfhh is gonna be? do the love interests interact with each other at all, or just with the player? so excited to see where this game goes!!!

Ideally, I want the game to not be too big, then again it was supposed to be only one romantic interest and here we are now lol.

The love interests will interact with each other, they are connected to the same place that will be known in the demo, so you can say they already knew each other before MC showed up.

The way the game will work is with the demo as the introduction, there you get to pick which monster path you will follow, with each path having its own problems and smaller subplot, were as the MC, the player will still interact with the other 2 monsters but less.

Each path will have hopefully 3 endings at least, you give in, you get away, or you perish.

I really hope the game gets more traction once the demo is out, it's been fun working on it but I haven't had many reactions so far. Even so I'll probably have to take turns working on it and Catrina's Halloween Remake, which is what I was working on before my dog passed away and I needed a "less demanding" project to distract myself.

Thank you all for enabling me.

Ditzy and Bitter met at the casino, back when Ditzy was working as a hostess and he joined as security.

Ditzy role was more accurately that of being a piece of eye candy to entertain the clients, something she found a bit dull and boring but a job is a job. She would have to deal with "over friendly" patrons now and then, to which Dice reacted by assigning Goldie the role of body guard to dissuade anyone for stepping out of line with the ice cream lady (and because he worried the negative press the Casino would get if the hostess started leaving clients with black eyes).

From the very start, Ditzy got extremely curious about the moody toon, striking conversations through the work shift, wanting to learn more and hopefully encourage Goldie out of his shell.

Goldie indulged in the conversations because Ditzy was different from the other toons in the casino, plus he genuinely enjoyed her company never flinching at his closeness nor making comments about his dangerous appearance.

Ditzy began falling for Goldie after she realized he had no interest in her looks and truly enjoyed her company, never trying a move and just listening to her interests and what she had to say.

Goldie started crushing on Ditzy after he saw she was not scared of him and even jumped in the middle of a fight to protect him when he was the one supposed to take care of her.

In a way, you could say it was the first time they both felt truly seen for whom they were and not how they looked.

And . ... don't mind if I do >:)

It's very long. CW child death.

Every crew member grew up when animatronics were just starting to get popular, and got to college around the time they got introduced in restaurants.

Lester (engineering) and Anne (art) met early on in college (1981), quickly getting married and having a child (Mitchell) together, forcing Anne to quit college (1982). She kept in contact with her friends - Harvey, Dominique, and Marc, all pursuing art degrees. Harvey, a few years later (1986), had a child (Holly), though wanted to pursue college still as a single father. He asked for Anne's help, and she agreed, Mitchell at this point being old enough to attend preschool, having more time on her hands. She introduced Harvey to Lester (1988) They soon realized they had common interests, notably in robotics, entertainment, and mythology. They quickly got together to work on an animatronic restaurant concept, Anne getting her other friends interested in the project as well. The first character created was Aperes (Apollo, Eris, Hermes), the frontman of the animatronic band, which Harvey designed first as an engineering challenge for Lester.

The same year, Lester and Harvey had a drunk one-night stand. Both of them say they don't remember that night, and Lester never mentioned it to Anne.

The next few years were spent working part-time on the project from everyone involved. 1989, Gaia was designed by Harvey, Anne, and Lester.

1990, Anne gave birth to Jamie. As a birthday gift, Deimos was created, by Lester and Harvey.

1994, Hegemone was mostly designed by Lester, and 1995, Asteria was designed by Harvey and Marc.

By 1996, every crew member was working full-time on the project, dedicating heart and soul to ensuring the project would be successful. Mitchell, Holly, and Jamie spent a lot of time together. The last animatronic to be designed was Mellia (Melpomene & Thalia) (by Harvey and Lester), who filled the gap in entertainment, being intended to deliver stories from ancient Greek mythology.

The same year, as the restaurant was on the tail end of opening, the crew recorded the tracks that would be used for the first shows, including covers of popular songs at the time (at least some they could license with their limited funds. And some they didn't license at all). Harvey voiced Apollo, Anne voiced Gaia and Mellia, Lester voiced Hegemone, Dominique voiced Eris and Deimos, and finally Marc voiced Hermes and Asteria.

May 1997, grand opening of Mythos' Diner, which quickly found relative success in the crew's hometown of Riverside, VT. The crew was present almost 24/7, hiring only a few extra employees to round out the staff. Mitchell, Holly, and Jamie were present as often as their parents, often spending the end of the weekdays and entire weekends at the restaurant, mostly because their parents didn't want them alone at home.

Later in the year, an electrical fire, started from Mellia's stage, caused the accidental death of Jamie (7), stuck in a maintance backstage room. Mitchell blamed himself for it. He had grown annoyed with his brother, had pulled a practical joke on him, had forgotten about him when the fire started, was supposed to look over him. Lester blamed Mitchell. He was supposed to look over Jamie, protect him. Lester started resenting his older son, even more than he already had been (your oldest seems disinterested in school, your youngest a perfect image of his mother, and he dies because of the oldest's "negligence"? Of course he resents him). Thus started Mitchell's further retreat into a solitary world.

Lester buried himself in his work, rebuilding the restaurant, tightening safety regulations, redesigning what was less of a success in the first year, keeping what was successful. Harvey tried as best as he could to comfort both him and Anne, as well as providing Mitchell a fatherly support he was starting to lack.

When the restaurant opened again (1998), everything was back on track. Well...

Not quite.

Lester was constantly reminded of Jamie. He forced Mitchell to take a job at the restaurant, and Holly was still hanging around the restaurant, following her father whenever he worked. Lester grew... resentful? Jealous? Of the attention she was still getting. He had just lost a child, his best friend should be paying attention to him, shouldn't he? He saw Holly (13, at the time) as a threat. He retreated away from Harvey. He constantly thought of ways he could... "mend" their relationship.

He did. She died in the ambulance, unable to speak a word. Harvey was, rightfully, devastated. Losing his child in such a way, his friends losing their own child only 2 years before? His grief painted his entire life. He fell back on his friends for comfort. Especially Lester.

Shortly after (2000), Melpomene and Thalia started... exhibiting strange behaviors. Unprogrammed. Voice lines that hadn't been recorded, at least not that anyone could remember, stares. It started small. Attributed to the bug of Y2K.

Though, this is also the year the restaurant became franchised. Harvey had done much like Lester previously, and poured himself entirely in his work, and it had paid off. The restaurant was a commercial success.

Mitchell started... really deteriorating. Mentally. Still blaming himself for the death of his brother, and now, his childhood friend dying, someone he considered his sister. He found comfort in music, and movies, and games, anything that would disconnect him from the real world, that would keep him away from his father's judgement and his mother's sad eyes.

Started hearing the voices of Jamie and Holly. At first, he thought he was losing his mind, undiagnosed mental illness that went unnoticed by his parents. Maybe it was, but the voices were impossible to ignore. They tormented him, losing hours of sleep.

In 2003, he couldn't bear it any longer. Jamie and Holly wanted him to check on the restaurant's basement. He would do so.

His father found him, rambling, confused, but starting to understand what had happened to Holly. Lester got scared.

Mitchell was deemed missing. A note left on his bed, saying he couldn't bear staying in this town, apologizing for "killing" his brother.

Anne believed she, her family, her friends, were cursed. The restaurant was cursed. The project was cursed. She stopped working entirely. Lester seemed mostly... unbothered. Disconnected. Anne couldn't understand it, but he made it seem so easy.

Everything came crumbling down during those years. Marc came out as trans (changed her name to Marie. Good for her!), and quit. In charge of finances, and now without her brain for numbers, it was a major blow to the machinations of the restaurant. Mellia was taken off-stage, exhibiting too many strange behaviors, now attributed to hardware degradation, to be kept in the show rotation. A beloved attraction, their removal affected the customer base. Hoping to repair them properly someday, Harvey kept them.

Mellia's behavior got stranger when away from the restaurant. Moving on their own, speaking when no audio track was loaded.

Around this time, Lester tries to rekindle... this "thing" he had with Harvey. A decision they had taken 15 years ago, drunk, and independently chosen never to discuss. Something that Lester thought would've ruined his life, his "picture perfect" married life, if he'd ever entertained the idea, yet was obsessed with, for years. Something Harvey never once entertained after that one night.

It deteriorated their relationship further. Though Harvey didn't know yet the extent of Lester's "dedication", he refused to work at the same time as him afterwards, telling him outright to "Figure your shit out."

2006.

Harvey hears something from Mellia. "Lester, the psychopomp to his own underworld." He drives to the restaurant, when Lester is working, and asks him. Asks him about what happened that day, to Holly. Lester, reluctant, answers. Finally tells the truth.

Harvey tells Anne everything. The one-night stand, the feelings Lester had been harboring, what it made him believe was the right thing to do. What he did. Anne tells him to leave. She leaves town, stays with Marie, doesn't tell Lester.

Lester comes home. Alone. His wife refusing to speak to him, his best friend refusing to even see him, his restaurant failing.

The next year (2007), the restaurant files for bankruptcy. Lester considers selling the animatronics, but Harvey, hearing the news, takes them into storage. Though not solely his project, and now tainted by multiple tragedies, he can't bring himself to get rid of something that brought a lot of joy in people's lives.

When the restaurant is finally closed down, for good, Lester goes for a final round of checks, seeing nothing is missing. The basement door, which had been locked since 2003, inaccessible due to "safety risks", now opened.

Mitchell was... miraculously, impossibly, still alive. Their father almost decapitating them 4 years ago hadn't killed them, or... maybe it had. 4 years, they'd been alone, or... not quite alone, voices and children's hands offering comfort in the dark of the basement. Kept them alive, revenge and rage justifying every minute past their expected death.

And now their father was back. Alone.

He hadn't atoned at all, hadn't paid for his crimes, the pain he put his family through, just for a relationship he was too cowardly to pursue?

Lester was never seen or heard from again.

Mitchell showed up to Harvey's house. Harvey called Anne, let her know her child was back, though... in a concerning condition. Anne showed up. It made no difference to her. They were still alive. They were okay. They were back.

The restaurant is closed.

Ok, so... maybe you can still see that this used to be a FNAF rewrite. However, it... turned into a lot more. It's become a really big pet project of mine, that I want to turn into a multimedia project someday.

I have a lot more story elements, symbolism, and whatnot I can add, that isn't stated in much of the writing above.

The Drakos family is associated with the color teal, while Lobos are red, which you can see in the character designs and associated characters. (Hegemone is based very strongly on Lester, while Aperes is modelled closer to Harvey)

Additionally, Jamie is associated with Tragedy - Melpomene, while Holly is with Comedy - Thalia. It reflects the circumstances of their deaths, that Jamie's death could have been prevented with proper safety measures and a prank played at the wrong time, while Holly's is caused by a man's inflated sense of ego, believing a child is a threat to him and his relationship? It's a little funny. It's tragic, but absurd. It colors their ghostly appearances, too. Jamie is a lot more reserved, and quiet in death, while Holly usually takes the forefront, cracking jokes, no matter how... inappropriate they may be for the time.

Dominique is very... absent, from this story, if you've noticed? She's a major crew member, and is a family friend, but she keeps her work life and personal life very separate. She is there to offer comfort, but her personal issues and life events don't get in the way of her work. And as everything happens at the restaurant...

In a similar vein, Marie figured out she was trans because she worked on this project. She had always had something at the back of her mind, but voicing Asteria, a character originally written to be female, needing a higher-pitched voice, really opened up something in Marie's mind.

This relationship chart.

Ummm yeah ^_^

There's a website (which is a very big work in progress!) and a long playlist that goes through the years in which the story takes place in.

Ok thank you for reading all that if you did

*plonks down a 🧠 for the bleck crew + tim* 👀👀👀👀👀

🧠 - What is their stress response: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn?

BOY okay, while typing up a response to this, I've found that their stress responses usually cannot be summarized with a single word, so this got a bit lengthy oops.

Blumiere - Freeze and Flight. Whatever it is that's causing him stress, Blumiere's response is to retreat into himself and wait until it passes. Rarely he takes action to combat the source of the stress actively. Blumiere doesn't want to have to think about it or what to do. A prime example of this is of course what happened to him after his father cursed Timpani. Not knowing what to do he let another entity decide for him- the Dark Prognosticus.

Timpani - Fawn. Timpani's usual stress response is to bury it under some form of social work to the point of neglecting her own needs. Even if that may be part of the very reason she is stressed! Timpani bottles her stress up until it either dissipates (rarely) or it explodes and leaves her in shambles (commonly). She is so terrified of being a bother, that she'd rather grind herself to dust than ask for help. It's something that's very hard for her to unlearn.

O'Chunks - Flight. While O'Chunks has a higher stress threshhold than the rest of the group, even he buckles eventually, especially under emotional and social pressures. Ever since his confidence had been completely shattered, he tends to avoid his responsibilities under great stress. When he's backed up against a wall though, with no way to flee left, he gets very defensive and loud.

Dimentio - Fight. While Dimentio really is just a pathetic rag, his ego doesn't allow for him to freeze or flee. Rather he attempts to take back control over the situation- usually no matter the cost. If fighting will buy him a little more time on a sinking ship he will do it.

Mimi - Fight. Her knee-jerk reaction is to destroy the source of her stress, or rather what she deems the source of her stress. For Mimi, stress eventually turns into anger sooner or later. During that time, Mimi becomes easily irritated and will take it out on anyone around her but the count.

Nastasia - Freeze. Nastasia gets stuck thinking of and considering her options, valuing each for their pros and cons and ultimately not doing any of them because the sheer numbers overwhelm her. No planning ahead in the world would make up for this, as much as she'd like it to.

7 and 16? For da ask meme :3

7. What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

i’d say their outfit!! i love jasper’s little patches and star belt buckle; i think it adds character and it’s very colorful and fun to draw <3

i like to think that their guardian gossan gave them the outfit for their birthday one year and they also taught jasper how to sew patches - and now they sew patches on all their outfits whether they need patching or not >::3

16. Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?

jasper LOVES burnt marshmallows, much like gabbro does!!! it’s a running joke among my friend group i think! in-universe, id say it’s the same way with hornfels’ opinion on the matter LOL, they’re generally fond of jasper but they throw shade at their marshmallow preferences. its a pineapple on pizza thing for them i think!!

from this ask meme here!!
