Remember when we thought Mike actually had plot significance?
Luke Reyes
>releasing a song about the game before it even comes out This really bothers me, and these Youtubefags always do it. They don't actually know what the game's plot is so they just sing about random ominous phrases with stock footage of the trailers playing over it. Talk about phoning it in.
Josiah Perry
We thought that about all the guards, which is silly because they're all faceless phantoms that represent the player.

>The Misfits >The Wreck >The Standard >The Careless Friends
I gotta say, before actually reading the thing, the titles have really jumped the shark. Before the Friends, each apartment had a stylish, single-word name that perfectly defined them. Then, suddenly, "Careless Friends". What the fuck happened?
Keep in mind this doesn't affect the story's quality. But still.
Christopher Jones
Are you for real user? Those names predate the story, they've been known forever. What a fucking petty thing to complain about.
Hudson Flores
Have you ever tried following the link in the little blurb I put at the top of each story, user?
Those were the names for the apartments as Weaver came up with them before I started writing the story.

>What a fucking petty thing to complain about. Well, there isn't anything to really complain about. But you've gotta agree that "The Careless Friends" really doesn't pack as much style and significance as "The Wreck", for instance.
Well, you improved literally everything about Weaver's original concept, you coulda had improved the title, too.

I think Careless Friends suits them just fine. It defines Bonbon and her roommates perfectly -- a group of friends who shacked up together and they're completely careless in every sense of the word. They're friendly slobs.
I'd be fascinated to see what you think would be an improvement on the title, though.
Jacob Rogers
It's predicted to come out next June.
Charles Gutierrez
>I'd be fascinated to see what you think would be an improvement on the title, though. Do I look like a writefag to you? If I had a valid alternative, I'd probably have said it, amidst the complaining. Alas, I don't have an ounce of creative juices in me.
You know, I just realized how much of the plot was foreshadowed (or just announced) in the original posts. Damn.

Colton Wright
Ironically, I'm from the south so I actually do eat my fries in BBQ sauce. There's a great BBQ place not too far from where I used to live and their sauce is fantastic. Mike's totally a pleb square, though, with his normie ketchup.
Toy Chica is missing her beak and her eyes. Chiclet's missing her beak. It felt like a logical extension of the concept. Besides that, I also dropped hints about it a while back when Mike was at the restaurant with Beanie.

Isaac Ward
As much as it gets thrown around as a buzzword, and rightfully so, "The Degenerates" would fit pretty well, I think. It really only works if you apply it beyond the usual moral degeneracy, though,
Anthony Jenkins
Good chapter, but there's somewhat of a tonal disparity that I'm sensing. The chapters from the Restaurant to The Real Thing seemed to be building to a crescendo, raising many questions and presenting dire new conflicts- and then it all just cut out without any resolution, and went right back to the status quo. I realize that it will probably be revisited later but it just doesn't sit right with me. Still excellent as always, just an issue I've noticed.
Easton Campbell
A new chapter less than a week later? You spoil us.
>Mango adds, slicing away at her fish with her knife and fork while filling her glass with juice. Mango confirmed for hindu god or owner of a tail that is clearly not meant to be.
Kayden Foster
I think the conflict with Goldie was sort of the climax of all that, Mike's last explosion before burning out. The return to normalcy seems to be a breather for him but somehow I doubt he's learned his lesson for long.
Gabriel Gray
>I also dropped hints about it a while back when Mike was at the restaurant with Beanie. Time to re-read that chapter, I only recall that I think was Mango's eye in the jar.
Also good point on having Toy Chica's missing bits spread out between Chiclet and Goose.
Cameron Wood

Eli Jackson
He has robo-AIDS. Pokemaniacal is actually CCA and has been dropping hints the entire time.
Jackson Davis
I get that, but the problem is that it didn't actually, you know, conclude. There's still tons of questions and crazy shit happening that should logically prevent things from returning to normalcy. Who is Goldie? How did he die? Why do all of the other characters act so bizarre when he is mentioned? What about Jeremy Human's? Are the robots there haunted? Who is the equivalent of Purple Guy? And what of Security Schmidt? How did Mike arrive in this universe? There are these gigantic elephants in the room that the story seems intent on ignoring or sidestepping around. It seems strange that Mike here isn't acknowledging just how fucked this whole situation is.
Nicholas Reyes
>the problem is that it didn't actually, you know, conclude Well the story isn't over yet so maybe the conclusion of that arc is being saved for the conclusion of the story?
Jason Mitchell
I think Mike's taken the blue pill for now. He's trying to deny the terrible reality and pretend everything is fine.
Ian Baker
I agree that those things are still important questions, and I'm sure we'll get more on them eventually. the big point here is: > It seems strange that Mike here isn't acknowledging just how fucked this whole situation is. I think he's just trying to not have another fucking psychotic episode at this point. He's recuperating.
Andrew Nelson
I think it would be kind of funny if all of the characters are actually regular humans, but Mike has gone so insane from his job that he sees everyone and everything as variants of the animatronics and pizzeria.
Adam Murphy
What a tweest.
Justin Roberts
Glad you liked the chapter! Very good catch; and yes, the tone shift is very much intentional. Mike just needs a while to regroup and take a breather.
>I get that, but the problem is that it didn't actually, you know, conclude. That's true, but the story's not over either. Think about it like this: the Misfits or the Wreck didn't "conclude" when Mike left their apartments. They didn't cease to exist just because he's not there at the moment. Out of focus doesn't mean forgotten forever. You'll be seeing more of all of these characters.
Yes, even Balloon Boy.
Thanks, user. I hope to be getting back to more frequent updates.
Ayden Rogers
TELL ME ABOUT GOLDIE WHY DOES HE WEAR THE SUIT
Gavin Wilson
While we're laying out parts of the story we dislike, I'm unhappy with some of Mike's characterization lately. It's not any of the major stuff, but some tertiary details about his personality.
At the start of the story, Mike gave off the impression of being a bit of a neat freak, but only in little ways like rearranging movies so there would be a system in place. It was small stuff that could just have easily been caused by boredom as anything else. Now, other than a break of a few hours in between Mike getting back from lunch and dinner starting up that was spent watching furryverse anime, he spent all day from morning to midnight cleaning, even while injured. It's turned from minor character quirk to compulsive obsession.
Meanwhile, in the beginning of the story Mike had severe issues with his personal space. There were also some major issues with how he was having trouble dealing with the unfamiliarity of the world around him, but that's a lot more understandable. Hell, the entire early story conflict between Mike and Mangle was based on Mike's personal space issues. It was his first major character flaw, and his biggest until Mike's need to help people even when they don't need it was shown. Now, though, it's nigh nonexistent. This chapter vaguely lampshaded it by mentioning that Mike would normally be rather nervous in a new apartment, but then it immediately rolled on past it with a dismissive "you can't help but feel comfortable".
These two character flaws were always present, but they've completely flipped as to how prevalent they were. Whereas Mike's need for cleanliness went from minor trait to one of his few defining ones, his need for space and preference for familiar surroundings has faded to the point of obscurity. The closest the story has come to even acknowledging it recently has involved Mike missing The Misfits, but that's an understandable and "human" thing.
tl;dr: Two of Mike's character traits have switched places in regards to prevalence.
Evan Perez
I don't understand. A lot of your questions have already been answered in the story if you pay attention. >Who is Goldie? Fred Fazbear's brother, obviously. Fred's mentioned him a number of times, he's on the corkboard of photos in Fred's office >How did he die? I don't think it's obvious yet but he could have been springtrapped like Faz or something else to do with the company's neglect for their employees >Why do all of the other characters act so bizarre when he is mentioned? Gee, could it be because he's dead, user? We know Bonnie's hallucinating the ghost of a dead person. Mike seeing him too when he never knew who Goldie was in life means that there's something supernatural going on. >What about Jeremy Human's? What ABOUT Jeremy Human's? >Are the robots there haunted? Who fucking cares? Are the robots haunted in Weaver's normal comics? What difference does it make whether they're haunted or not? >Who is the equivalent of Purple Guy? He's probably the restaurant's Golden Freddy (pic related), some suit/animatronic that got discontinued. Then again in pic related Fritzine is a guy, and he was changed into a girl for the story, so take that with a grain of salt >How did Mike arrive in this universe? That's kind of the point of the whole story, isn't it? Do you really want that question answered when he's just starting his fourth apartment? >It seems strange that Mike here isn't acknowledging just how fucked this whole situation is. I don't see this at all. I think are all right: Mike's trying to cope. He's just gone through some seriously fucky shit and he needs time to not be on the fucking edge. There are moments in this chapter where Mike is still leaning towards his "episodes" like when he goes to confront Goose. The detective shenanigans can wait until he's not on the verge of another fucking meltdown.
Wyatt Flores
Why does everyone love this high school AU so much?
Kevin Carter
It's not high school, dingus.
Charles Parker
>It's turned from minor character quirk to compulsive obsession. I know right? How weird is it that a character who just had a nervous breakdown is behaving abnormally?
>Meanwhile, in the beginning of the story Mike had severe issues with his personal space You're missing out on something here though: Mangle violated his personal space in the shower and in his bedroom massaging him while he was asleep. That was an intimate encounter bordering on molesting him. Sitting on the couch with friends and chilling isn't the same thing.
He doesn't seem to mind proximity towards people (he hugged Chiclet at the bank after his condom freakout in, what, chapter 5?), he just doesn't like being stripped and groped. Who'd have thought.
>wahhhh stop liking things I don't like Fuck off, hateanon.
Jackson Harris
It's honestly pretty well-written and it's got Weaverâ„¢ involved.
Tyler Martinez
I noticed this shift starting before his breakdown, as early as 20 chapters ago.
Jeremiah Moore
Pretty much. Getting a drawfag connected to your story is a guaranteed golden ticket for writefags.
James Rodriguez
Everyone's just waiting for substitute teacher Golden Freddy to give in and nail the exchange student Chica already. I mean, there's been so much bonding between the two, not to mention that thing on the bleachers; we all know it's gonna happen. Outside of that I doubt there's much interest though. The prom subplot ended five chapters ago and nobody actually cares about the upcoming graduation ceremony, even whit all that foreshadowing the that Foxy will finally get his comeuppance for bullying Fritz and Toy Bonnie all those times.
Jeremiah Adams
Because it's one of the few ongoing stories that gets frequently updated.
What about it? I don't really remember what it was.
Camden Kelly
>unironically shilling this hard for both Fritz and Toy Bonnie, the AV club nerds I knew your taste was horrible, user, but come on. Foxy's perfect.

>Getting these doors stuck, with no survivors
Isaiah Sanchez
Sorry, I was asleep when you posted that.
Honestly he, by a stroke of luck, had it right in the first game where things were teased and not fully explained, because realistically they really couldn't. The best plausible explanation in the first game was that someone died via bite at Freddy's and that's what caused the whole mess. After the second game well that explanation just went right out the fucking window, and especially so after 3. He said way too much and focused more on making a scary game rather than a horror game. And having too many headcanons fucks the community up. You want the game to have one or two really plausible explanations that are decently obvious, but not fully outright told. That's why the lore went to shit.

You didn't draw any separation between neck and head. Thus it looks like a double chin instead of a lower lip.
