Movie Golden Freddy spirit rant I made in response to a Strawpage question asking who my favorite character from the FNaF movie is.
Gonna call him Goldie for simplicity and theory neutrality.
He's just. So cool. No offense to how Andrew or Cassidy are characterized (fandom or canon), but he's what TOYSNHK should be in my opinion.
He's undeniably very TOYSNHK-esque and it's amazing. He has this softish(?), more monotone voice that sounds a lot like TOYSNHKS voice (no offense to Andrew I love him, but TOYSNHK does NOT have a rough voice, not even close to it).
He also. Looks like TOYSNHK and acts like TOYSNHK. Do I need to explain this one?
He's also singled out a LOT, maybe just as much as game Golden Freddy, and it makes for some really good theory material.
1 His face is taped onto the picture in the beginning.
2 hes the one to lure Abby out of the office to meet the other animatronics, but she notably doesn't know him, since he isn't present in any of her pictures and she mistakes him for Freddy at first (like a lot of people when they watched the movie somehow).
3 He's the one to talk to Mike (he's not the only one to talk, Freddy spirit says a line to lure Max, but he's mostly the only MCI to talk).
4 he's the only animatronic to leave the pizzeria in the 1st movie.
5 he's the only one to be absent during the final scene where Abby replaces the picture, but he's the ONlY one present in the very final scene where William reaches out to him and he closes the door.
6 he isn't on the truth/murder drawing that Abby draws, instead I think Garrett is on there?? I'm pretty sure he's replaced with a red shirt kid so yk if I'm right about the shirt color then Garrett probably.
7 I probably missed some stuff.
He's got a LOT of theory material. Like for one why does William reach out to him specifically?? I mean he was the only one there, but why even try if he knows the children know what he did? Was it because Goldie was absent during the drawing scene, is it because they know each other (GoldieAfton maybe), is it because he was the only one there????
It's interesting that he's the only one present in the first place, since in the games we know all the MCI were there, and in the novels i'm pretty sure Charlie triggers the springlocks, but I also think some other characters were present?? Idk don't quote me on that.
Also why does he talk specifically?? Is he really under Williams control, or is he doing all of this because he knows it'll get William killed?? SO MANY QUESTIONS AND SO LITTLE ANSWERS.
My second favorite is definitely Vanessa though, because she's so similar to Elizabeth (while still being her own interesting character), but people actually acknowledge William majorly hurt her, while people still insist on calling Elizabeth a spoiled brat.
We'll have to see how the next 2 movies treat these two, ive got high hopes because I loved the first movie a LOT, but also FNaF has a tendency to massively damage my favorites by the 2nd installation in a trilogy (*cough* Novels Charlie *cough*), so we'll see.
If they do massively damage them I WILL rewrite the movies to fix them, but i have very high hopes that they won't since they treated them pretty good in the first movie.
cause as much as i love dragons purring and roaring i wish there was just more variety in how they would act
clacking their teeth together to show contentedness/happiness (budgies)
using tails as a defensive weapon in a whip like fashion (iguana)
twitching to express that they're not a threat to members of their species (hognose snake)
feeling calm when eyes are hooded/covered (birds of prey)
head bobbing as a threat display (anoles/bearded dragons)
flattening neck or sides to appear bigger (snakes/lizards)
mantling over food to protect it from hatchmates (birds of prey)
wiggling neck as a courting maneuver (budgies)
audibly grinding teeth as a warning (macaques)
maintained eye contact as a challenge (gorillas)
pounding wings against sides as a threat (gorillas)
slapping other dragons with their claws when their personal bubble is invaded (seals)
hoards used as a site to impress mates (birds of paradise)
snorting when undergoing heightened stress (horses)
making repeated loud noises with surroundings to establish territory (woodpeckers)
loud constant arguments with other dragons when roosting (bats)
building lairs that cause a domino effect of change in the land around them (beavers)
slapping their tails against the ground/water as a warning (beavers)
wiggling tail tip to attract prey (various animals)
wiggling tail tip as a warning (snakes)
plucking or scraping off scales as a sign of stress (parrots)
raising spines/frills as a response to danger and carrying on with their usual business as they believe they're protected (lionfish)
and im not saying canine and feline behaviors are wrong or bad to give a dragon (people wouldn't write dragons with those behaviors if they weren't fun in the first place!) but i feel for creatures that are mythological giant winged lizards that you can do more and get experimental with it. often the more unfamiliar behavior the more dragony the dragon feels
It's my Pawpaws birthday today, say happy birthday to him :3.
I HAVEN'T WATCHED THE DAWKO INTERVIEW YET I HAVENT HAD TIME WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT CAN BE 20 HOURS LONG????
I fear I will be playing that game for 2 months straight if it can be 20 hours long (I'm awful at games).
The video Steel Whool just posted is WEIRD but really interesting as well!! I can see that they really want to show that this game will be big. And I donโt doubt them that itโll be big because in their most recent interview with Dawko, they said that the game can be 20 HOURS LONG.
Cassidy Afton and Cassidy "Cady" Anderson.
Fun fact Cassidy actually uses Mrs.Aftons maiden name when he's dead (I gotta figure out what that is first tho), and Cady and Andrew are siblings (yes Andrew's name is Andrew Anderson lmao).
If this looks wonky that's because it is wonky (I'm tired lmao).
work is so fucking dull this week that its causing me to draw and think about things i would normally never consider. like i do not like five nights at freddys i have not thought about those games since 2015 and all further series knowledge has just been absorbed through cultural osmosis. yet ive drawn nothing but the rabbit one in my notebook all day.
Random rant time, I am either awful at finding decent art tutorials, or they just... don't help a lot.
Most of the ones I can find are "how to find your artstyle" tutorials, or "here's a specific thing that works in my artstyle" tutorials, or "here's how to do this thing in realism". None of them help a lot.
Do I wanna know how to draw anatomy? Yeah, but all the tutorials I can find either explain it too little (see that one joke about art tutorials going from a bad sketch to the Mona Lisa), or they explain too much too quickly, and in both cases I get really lost almost immediately.
Idk, maybe this is just a me problem, but I can't find qny decent tutorials that explain what I want to know well enough for me to understand it or be able to follow along with it. At this point I just want a tutorial on how to find decent tutorials lol.
Anyways rant over goodbye.
Was thinking about the FNaF DBD collab and ended up getting an idea for my FNaF AU.
Will probably put this idea in my UndecidedAU if I use the idea. I think this fits that AU the most (TOYSNHK being Williams kid and all in that AU).
I fear I may have broken my AO3. Oops.
