Ohmygod, I love your Beatles animatronic au so much! And I love that you've made it more than just fnaf reskinned or something (you see that with a lot of animatronic au's, not complaining so much as it makes them seem less...idk creative?)
I love that Ringo is a human for a few reasons, 1 being that I've always had a soft spot for human-animatronic performance duos (or in this case a quartet), and 2 being that it makes sense! You talk about the "limitations" of the animatronics in the AU (which helps it seem more realistic than just being super advanced robots even if it takes places in the 70s/80s), and it makes sense that a drummer robot would simply be way too advanced (and expensive) to make, with all of the highly specific movement needed and the fact that it usually isn't just arms or fingers moving, but sometimes upper body too, depending on how the drum is set up, so it makes sense that they'd just use a human to play the drummer in the band.
Also, you mentioned involving other people into the AU, like Brian being the manager of the place, and you could include Pete Best as maybe a former performer as "the drummer" before he was like fired or demoted or just removed from the position and Ringo takes his place! Totally up to you though, I just think it could be a cool way to bring him into it (you could use the reasoning Pete Best was replaced by Ringo IRL (his energy didn't match the rest of the band) in the AU too (ie. He isn't as interactive and involved with the kids as management would like))
Just love your AU, please continue it, it's so awesome! I was wondering if you'd mind if I drew some fanart of it too? I'm just totally in love!!!
when I woke up this morning to find this message in my inbox I literally was SOO happy I accidently threw my phone across the room/pos
(I swear finding long messages in comments inbox or in reblogs tags are my like my love language)
OMGG THANKK YOU >__< you and alot of people have really been supporting me through this and I'd just want yall to know that I read every one of those super nice comments and reblog tags and I LUVV yall for them, and I'll promise to work hard and continue my consistent streak of posting lore at least every day ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜
For a token of my appreciation take a real token from our arcade⋆˙⟡
(This also goes for every single on of yall who have made such kind comments and reblogs of my posts)
Ive put alot of thinking and research to make sure it's at least semi-realistic to how real animatonics would act and work according to the staff working at places like Showbiz and/or Chuck e Cheese, so I'm glad that you noticed those details!!
Adding Pete Best as a past employee and him being removed for that reason is actually SUPER creative and I think it's so Kool that I'm gonna integrate that into the story with a bit more of personal touchദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ
Anywhoo I'd be SOO HAPPY to get my first fanart of this au >_<!! feel free to do it whenever you wanna, I don't mind, but I'd love to see it (just be sure to credit me for the au and that's all (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) ‹𝟹)
