I've actually known about tumblr long before getting in it, but it was like twitter/reddit/ reddit to me: a land forbidden from my eyes to traverse (self imposed)
Then undertale aus on youtube struck like a truck. I'd find them on youtube and find them through Google search.(though I'd never leave the creators page and didnt know how tumblr worked)
I actually learned how to use tumblr amd got an account when fnaf sb slapped me in the face and tumblr required me to have an account to look at more comics/
have a question for our little tftgs tumblr community :
I know it's the end of summer but I have this thought of a fun challenge/ community project we could all participate in
It would be tagged/called The tales on the road scrapbook(or something, tbd)
Itd be like Rosa's scrapbook of the groups travels and together as a community we would "fill" the scrapbook.
Would anyone be interested in something like this? Thoughts? Advice? (I wanna try to bring as many groups together!)
@the-bendy-bee i am home and fed it’s time to rant
here’s a crooked photo of the paragraph
“You are cursed to watch all of your friends, everyone you love, die before your very eyes”
wording is always important for prophecies!
1) “your friends” could be current friends or friends he gets ever. if it’s just the friends he has at the time, Tony, Tom, and Sabine die. no getting around that
2) “watch your friends die” doesn’t really mean they’re going to die, just that jack is going to see them die. he could watch some edited video of them dying it, and fate considers that him watching them die. prophecy fulfilled!
although for many of his friends, there’s no “watch ≠ actually dead!!!!” logic for them
Sabine, Tom, Tony, Brother Riley, and Van are all genuinely dead unfortunately
Jerry dies in Bedside Manor, Jack kills the Benjamin/Benji clones in vol 3, and Gaston’s clone dies in vol 4. they’re on the edge of “actually dead” and “just something jack saw”. they die but not really (same with Jack himself lol)
Amy and Travis (if we count him) are finicky. Amy was told to shoot herself in the head by Roger in vol 4. and although she just shoots her ponytail off, Jack thinks she’s for a moment dead.
Travis (again, if we count him) is similar to Amy. the town is convinced he’s dead when he goes into hiding. and when he gets blown up in Miller’s house, dude i thought he was dead and high key almost started crying
now; there’s a very important someone i haven’t mentioned. my goat Rosa Vasquez. dude if the prophecy is for any friends Jack gets ever, Rosa needs to WATCH THE FUCK OUT
the forces of fate or whatever are OUT FOR HER HEAD
i’m praying on what the god of mystery or whatever said at the end of vol 4. she can’t die pleeeaseeeee Jack Townsend (author) if you hear me: if Rosa dies i’m dying irl please don’t kill her
i’m actually so insane about this chat. how vol 1 connects to the other volumes is so crazy to me. author!jack is like actually crazy. idk if it’s like gravity falls and he just came up with shit on the go or if it was all planned but it works soooo well. 10/10 book series if you ask me
Technically, Jack DID see Rosa "die". Remember the ritual where Benjamin stabbed Rosa to wake the dark god? So I think shes good👍👍
I love your analysis of the curse. I never thought about it in that way, especially if it was talking about the friends he had when the fortune was told or all the friends he'll ever have. If the former, then the prophecy is complete.
It all could be perception however, as you said. Because when you think about it, many of the characters in tftgs may BE dead, but they sure dont STAY dead in a sense us normies understand.
For example, Tom. While he died in the first book, he was still "around" till book 3.
Vanessa too. Reading "finding Vanessa", we find that Vanessa is still out there. While weve seen the clones die, Technically, Vanessa is still alive.
Even Beux, a guy who got literally dragged to the underworld in book 2, came back and got punted into the stratosphere in book 4.
And now that I think about it, isnt about half the town full of mimics? Technically, Jack witnessed his entire town "exterminated". Also Technically, we dont know what really happened to the original townsfolk. They could be dead. They could also be alive in little pods something 200 ft underground a motel.
Its schrodinger's cat. Until we open the box, we dont know for sure.
So does this mean the prophecy came true? Or are we, like Jack, waiting for the other shoe to drop and see a true destruction of everything he holds dear?
(This just made me realize that Karon the destroyer wouldve shown Jack everyone dying, making the prophecy true, maybe the prophecy was pointing towards that? Tho Jack managed by skirt by it by the skin of his teeth)
spamton the fumbler but for some reason tenna is into that
the original "deal" was: tenna distracts passersby long enough for spamton to scam or steal from them, and in return tenna gets repairs from spamton (with the bonus of spamton acting as tenna's eyes sometimes since his vision is wack with a broken screen).
leading up to this comic, a human got into a fight with tenna so spam didn't get to steal anything from them. tenna then hates himself for it (he doesn't care as much about the damage as he does thinking he might've ruined the only relationship he has anymore) and spam gets his shit together to repair the guy without thinking twice about it. you let your guard down ONE time and the tv guy makes you question all that you stand for smh
i made this in like a day and i should probably tinker with it a lot more but im super proud of how this turned out and i wanna share it. would love feedback!! i plan on making more and mixing it with renders from the build im making in blender
This is kinda a draft because i could put a hell of a lot more effort into the first page especially but idk if i want to focus on quality or quantity
You know, even though book 3 came out AMAZING, I really wish the blog version(and by extension, the voice over by mr creepypasta) stayed up(called "how did we get here?"). It was hands down, one of the most unsettling, mind twisting endings I've seen.
Has anyone else seen what I'm talking about?
Spoilers for book 3 below
For those who didnt see it, it started with the pov of Benjamin finding Jack and the gas station in a state of total destruction. He sneaks up on Jack and ends up at the side table with a cup of coffee as Jack talks about the events that lead till now. Cue 3rd book with Jack's pov.
The story remains the same as book 3(with a few minor differences) until Jerry's bday party. That's when everything changes
See, when Crystal (or whatever the mimics name is ) enters the group, in typical Jack writing fashion, he doesnt mention her name, who shes copying or what she is AT ALL. He only refers to the mimic as HER. From the readers pov, this random "friend" of Jerry shows up and Jack is seething with rage. The woman also never reveals or alludes to the fact shes a mimic(in the book she flat out admits to Jack shes a mimic). She does the usual threats secretly to Jack but NOT AT ANY POINT do either side acknowledge that shes a mimic.
When I was listening to this, my theory was she was actually an agent sent by France M. Howard and that she looks like she who shall not be named that he references a lot(Sabine) and that's why he was so furious. That someone with her face would basically mock him for something he refuses to give away.
So when Jack took the gun and shot her....
When she didnt get back up despite his insistence...
When Ob'rien helped bury the body...
And when then everybody left...
It looked like Jack actually let his Paranoia win and shot someone dead in cold blood.
We then cut back to the present with Benjamin's pov, back in the dilapidated gas station. He explains how hes been on his own since they left, how Jerry never showed back up, and that Spencer Middleton left a present for him.(though he doesn't explain what/was vague.)
Cue scene of Benjamin being lured out back(I believe Bejamin heard a noise instead) and getting caught in bear trap. Keep in mind this is all in Benjamin's pov, so we dont see Jack's thought process or trap coming.
Benjamin pleads the same as before but this is through HIS pov. He describes HIS pain and desperate attempt to escape and defend himself. Meanwhile, Jack has this air of indifference to his suffering. Like it was getting old. And when he mentions the severed head clocked him(mind you, first time the reader has heard of it, nor whose head it was), and his theory that they cant kill him, it sounds like Jack has totally snapped from reality.
We switch to Jack after Benjamin dies and the coldest thing happens. He buries the burnt body of Benjamin and heads back inside. Jack then goes to the counter and goes to the cigarette counter. The head has been complaining for it.
He selects malboros, the heads favorite and sits next to the ice chest. He opens the chest and grimaces at site. Hes going to need to get more ice soon. The rate of decomposition is bad, but despite his bad habit, the lips are still usuable. Jack lights the cigarette and puts it to the heads mouth for him (since he cant hold his own) the head gives a sigh of relief and thanks Jack.
"No problem, Jerry."
And THATS HOW IT ENDS.
Tftgs likes to play with heads and have people question the reality that we know. This story left so many questions and for the first time, REALLY question Jack on what was real or was only his perception. Was that lady a monster, or did he actually kill a human being? Was Benjamin actually the real one or did Jack end another human. WAS THE HEAD ACTUALLY STILL TALKING OR DID JACK LOSE TOUCH WITH REALITy ABD IS TALKING TO JERRYS HEAD???
It definitely made reading the book better because it answered questions and even added more to 'Jack's goes into a fugue state arc'
Most of all, I miss mr creepypasta reading of the battle with Agatha sisdrunk scene. The way he read it (especially at the "seriously Universe" exclamation) with the battle music in the background was absolute perfection
Has anybody else read or listened to it before it was private? I can't be the only one who saw it
jerry can play a mean bass line. he comes practice with a new bass riff that is “the answer to the whole universe” and it will either rival the best bass players or is just got cross buns. no in between. he has zero grasp on music theory he just plays off vibes. he’s amazing at improv.
rosa canonically sings. she also plays rhythm guitar. while she only recently started playing, she picked it up pretty quickly, and has a decent grasp on music theory (she already had some experience with it). she comes to practice with songs practically written and covers almost perfected. she also has experience on the viola.
jack… i have no fucking clue what he plays. there has to be something he can play well. maybe piano? i think he could play the drums.
tony does rhythm guitar or bass. he’s the kind of bassist who just got handed the bass because they already had two guitars, but he does pretty good on it. nothing special with guitar or bass, but he fits very well into his place.
spencer fucking SHREDS ON THE GUITAR. he’s in the band to show off. he does background vocals not because he was told to or because it would sound good but because he’s just gets really into the music.
i can’t explain why but amy’s parents forced her to play violin as a kid so now she doesn’t like playing instruments.
sabine had the most beautiful voice and a ukulele she could play a few songs on.
gaston is suspiciously good at hitting keys on a piano…
Keifer plays keyboard. I'm imagining him rolling in with a keyboard with Spencer. He either shreds at keyboards or it's set to play a precorded tune.
Jack of course, plays triangle :3
In all seriousness, Jack would make an amazing lyricist with all his experiences with danger, heartbreak, and mental health battles.(Jerry and Rosa would help straighten his thoughts out) he would make banger rock songs of fighting gods, tear jerking love songs and past memories, psychedelic songs of weirdness, and everything in between.
Benji is the producer/agent/security of course. He handles the logistic. Hed play drums well too.
Now the real question is what Travis plays/role in the band
aren't gorillas gentle giants or something. i stay out of his way, he doesn't maul me, we have a nice time picking out clothes together in opposite sides of the mall
Male gorillas are super aggressive and territorial. Also they interpret nearly every human mannerism as a sign of aggression or a challenge. Smiling and eye contact are both things that zookeepers have to be taught to suppress when they’re in the vicinity of gorillas.
This is all irrelevant because the obvious answer is five black mambas. I mean, that’s not actually very many snakes, and malls are fucking huge. And unlike a gorilla you can definitely outrun a snake if it does show up. Find an open space in the mall where you can see any snake coming and just hangout out there. Fucking easy.
Misguided! I would much rather have a mallmate I can easily see and hear coming. I'm confident I can stay out of the gorilla's way, but if I step on a snake or one otherwise gets the jump on me, it's all over.
It's not just about the physical danger either, it's about my mental health. One gorilla, unless he's actively mad at me, I just keep a healthy distance between us and make sure I never get trapped. With the snakes, it requires a lot more constant vigilance
Black mambas have a reputation build on being very venomous and very fast. I'm not sure why you would think you could outrun one (or five) in an enclosed space like a mall.
Malls usually have pretty slick floors, and escalators. I’d choose the gorilla simply because I think that would make an more interesting story (and a better-selling autobiography, I Survived the Mall Gorilla) but I think I’d stand a pretty good chance at avoiding the mamba. They’re fast and aggressive and will chase you but unless we started immediately beside each other I think my sneakers would have the terrain advantage over scutes.
fucking enamored with the implication that this gorilla is fully intelligent but is trying to manufacture plausible deniability like the movie barnyard
Since its 24 hours, I'd go with gorilla. Itd be a lot harder avoiding 5 black mambas than a gorilla. Malls are mostly filled with clothes and lots of hidden spaces from all the products on shelves. You could be browsing the bath bomb store and BOOM! Danger noodle in the cupcakes.
Gorillas are big and black. I imagine with all the stuff and new smells the gorilla would be pretty preoccupied. There would be gorilla noise activity, giving a perfect way to keep distance.
And one thing to take in account is SLEEP. Your spending over night with it, you gotta make a base. That's served as protection
I'm going to barricade a closet and carry pop rocks or something to scare off the gorilla if he does come
It's really not all that surprising that the Daycare Attendant ended up being so popular, to the point that there's a whole subsection of FNAF fandom that's p much just the DCA.
For starters, there's Security Breach itself. Security Breach is a vastly different FNAF game from its predecessors. Instead of being a jumpscare-driven task management simulator, it is a free-roam exploration and puzzle game, also with jumpscares. Instead of a security guard with their butt glued to their office chair, you're playing as a kid trapped in the mall. That difference in format and story setup attracted a whole new crowd of players to FNAF.
Next is character design. Unlike the majority of animatronics in the killer robot furry franchise, the DCA is a lanky, vaguely human shaped jester with a dinnerplate head and a creepy fixed smile. That appeals to folks who might not be as much into the robot furries, but like lanky creepy jesters (I am one of those people).
Security Breach also FINALLY develops the animatronics into actual characters, rather than interchangeable jumpscares. It's not a coincidence that prior to SB, the most popular animatronic was Springtrap-- an animatronic outright possessed by the defacto main antagonist of the series. I still remember the sheer fuzzy excitement upon hearing the first teaser trailer where we found out that we would be playing as a kid and that Freddy was our friend. That's still so cool! Freddy is our friend!
But character is where the Daycare Attendant really blows everyone else out of the water.
Sun is, after Freddy and Vanessa, the NPC with the most lines of dialogue (ten). Sun and Vanessa are the only antagonists that speak directly to Gregory, rather than just having vague hunting lines. For comparison, of the Glamrocks only Roxy has a single line of interaction with another animatronic ("Get out of my room, Freddy!") and her pep talk in the mirror at the start of the game. Monty and Chica might as well be interchangeable, both only having hunting lines.
Hell, out of Moon's nineteen voice lines, eight of them are laughs, blowing away Vanny's whopping two lines in the entire game.
Sun is the only* FNAF antagonist that does not have a jumpscare sting when he grabs Gregory, and is one of the few antagonists that does not kill the player upon jumpscaring them. Sun is outright non-hostile towards Gregory, coming off as overbearing but genuinely friendly. In a FNAF game.
Kellen Goff's phenomenal voice acting further fleshes out the DCA's character, giving us solid foundations for their personalities. Sun is anxious, friendly, and bossy. Moon is a downright giggle gremlin, sadistic and playful. Both of them are childish, and the contrast between their personalities and their job as child caretakers makes them stand out even more.
It's also worth mentioning that the Daycare is one of the earliest sections of the game, easily reached within the first thirty minutes of playtime. This makes it very likely to have been seen by people who either ended up not finishing the game itself, or any let's play series they were watching. It's also one of the most complete sections of the game, with clear, easy to understand mechanics and a decent challenge, making it more enjoyable to play than some of the later puzzles.
So, yeah. Why wouldn't there be a whole subsection of fandom built around some of the most well developed and interesting characters in the entire franchise, from an installment that attracted a new crowd of people who were probably already looking for something different from the traditional FNAF experience?
*As far as I know there are no other FNAF animatronics that perform a jumpscare animation without an accompanying sound, but it's not impossible that there's someone in UCN that I've overlooked.
I want to add another citing factor that drew fans in is the character dynamics/story of the dca
First off you have the character relationship between sun and moon. And while an interaction between the two would be great, the fact that they share the same body adds this level of desperation and relationship. You see the fight for control and struggle between the bots. This makes the struggle that more intense than if it was two seperate bots. The absolute Paranoia of Sun about the lights being on really makes you think/wonder on the true relationship of sun and moon. Was it always like this? Are they aware of the others thinking? What do they do when alone?
Then you learn that Moon was corrupted and wasnt always like that. This gives more layers to the characters. What were they like before moons glitch? Were they friends? How did the glitch happen?
Finally the setting of a hyperactive sun built to play and babysit kids being stuck in a closed section of the building, stuck In the light 24/7. The contrast of such a happy place being essentially abandoned hits you in the feels.
All this together creates a perfect storm of storytelling and ideas. You can play with these characters in ways the other faz crew couldnt be.
