Wait… did FNAF profits go to anti-gay legislation?!
Scott Cawthon, the creator of Five Nights at Freddy's, is very open about being a pro-life conservative and has donated significant amounts of money to republican politicians, including Donald Trump. This has been publicly available info for a while now. Despite saying that he would "step away" from his role in the games after this was brought to light in 2021, he still owns the IP and is profiting from all media associated with the franchise to this day.
Yeah ok I guess I'll reblog this
I’m watching The Sword in the Stone for the first time in decades and I’ve gotten to the part where Merlin is trying to get Arthur to lose his virginity to a squirrel.
I found it amazing that Scott cawthon was outed as a pro life ultra conservative Christian giving money to the republican party and then a new game in his dumb series came out and everyone stopped giving a shit
Having an extremely specific problem after trying a traditional pencil crayon look for an older Tattletale portrait. Somehow, during the slow work from grubby sketch to rendering, she became way too hot. And said traditional art style means I can’t change this with regular digital tools, I have to redraw sections of her face entirely.
That I did with optical colour mixing using hatching and a limited palette.
Do I roll with hot Tattletale or do I suffer?
btw i was going through the wilbur soot tag to see others responses to…that. but its also a really good block list
i saw someone talk about this new movie trailer the electric state, comparing it negatively to the book. i watched the trailer n then read the book, n yeah wtf. the book is this quiet introspective story about a lonely girl travelling thru this half-collapsed society, where u have to figure out from context cues what happened to make the world like this. the movie trailer is a grey-brown cgi slopfest with robot fights, marvel quips and fucking chris pratt as a character not in the book at all. who wants this. they took actual art n turned it into garbage
A far better version of my thoughts on how GCs recruit young people to their hate cult.
I’m not gonna be nice. It’s basically a cult now.
Young queer/LGBT girls, the leaders are working with the Heritage Foundation. They’re not just gonna turn on you, they want all AFABs to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
Yeah like the other person in the comments said they did have the aesthetics of the book. But the only other stuff they took from the book was Michelle's name and her motivation to find her brother. That's it.
List of stuff down below of what the book had that the movie didn't have. Spoilers for people who haven't read the book.
There is no AI.
All the robots were/are controlled by humans.
The USA had a civil war that was fought by drone pilots who wore older versions of Neurocasters which required them to use addictive drugs that also destroyed their ability to reproduce.
People who wear the Neurocasters too long meld into a digital hivemind.
Neurocasters keeps the mind alive as long as it is worn. It does not protect the body from harm.
Graphic description of someone's brain getting chunkified by an anti-matter round.
Michelle's bio parents didn't die in a car crash. Instead her father is unmentioned (if I recall correctly) and her mom was a veteran who died from a drug overdose after being abandoned by the government. (foster parents "died" due to the Neurocasters)
Michelle dyed her blonde hair black because she wanted to distance herself from the "popular" girls and to spite her foster mom (who Michelle beat over the head with a lunch tray after she mocked her for wanting to dye her hair). Kind of important to her character. They keep her blonde in the movie for some fucking reason.
Michelle had a girlfriend who broke up with her after a crazy priest converted her. Heartbreaking to read.
Michelle found her brother's body rotting away in a house while wearing a Neurocaster. Still alive and in control of Cosmo.
It is implied that she and him rowed out into the ocean in a kayak to be swallowed by the waves.
Cultist working for the hivemind hunting for her brother as well, possibly what Giancarlo Esposito's character was based on.
People who already watched the new movie and have read the artbook or seen the artwork, how much of the original made it into the movie?
“It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, because it’s not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it’s that cold absence of feeling— that really hollowed-out feeling.”

First real post I am making on this site and I am fucking pissed off about TCA&L because I expected more from it. (Disclaimer I didn't play it because I'm poor and only have a macbook) Nothing fucking fazed me and the writing is so mid. And I wouldn't be so mad if the fans didn't put this shit on a pedestal and gave it 10/10s. Seething with boiling rage.
From all the praise it was getting I was expecting a calf's head slathered in the blood of the farmer's firstborn, dipped in gravy (that is made of what remained of 20 malnourished children that were fed to a politician), and topped off with the feathers of an extinct parrot species from a country that doesn't exist anymore. All I got was a damn roasted chicken covered in piss! If anyone wants to send me death threats or whatever over this then ya'll are massive pussies.
I recognized his tactics from a fucking mile away. Can't fool someone who dragged themself out of the right-wing pipeline. Hope the Hermits sort this shit before they slip into something worse.
to say my piece: firstly, fuck iskall.
secondly, its very easy to tell by the outpouring of hate comments on many of the hermits' recent videos (after his response) that he reached a target of young, impressionable fans. not only that, but also a darker side of the hermitcraft fandom that i like to ignore.
as much as i love hermitcraft, its "golden" status that its gotten from remaining "unpolitical" and "drama-free" has perpetuated a very ugly-hearted group of fans who cant find solace in the more openly left-wing smp communities. so they turn to hermitcraft, where they can hide a little more easily. and this has been a group of people slowly cultivating numbers for years now, and there's enough of them that docm77's gay beacon, or the number of pride mcc participants (and queer hermits) can't ward off.
these people have always been the ones brushing concerns in the community under the rug, the "this isn't the place for politics," and "i watch hermitcraft to get AWAY from that stuff." types. they are never going to believe the women that were harassed over the male creator they've latched onto as someone who's "for them" and "un-cancelable." these people have been waiting for this opportunity. and you'll see them say "hermitcraft is over," and "they can't come back from this," but none of that is true. they're the only ones who believe that.
and as awful as all of this is, the hate and the VERY thinly veiled misogyny-- there is a bright-side in weeding those people out. "i don't think i'll be able to watch hermitcraft after this" good fucking riddance.
iskall knew what he was doing by bringing his shit response video to his youtube audience. instead of the reddit, instead of twitter, but to a space that HE moderates. the space with the highest concentration of people who he know will defend him.
my only hope is that the hermits double down on this, and that they have the backbone to make it clear that these people are not welcome in the community. and neither is iskall. and that the larger chunk of us continue to support the victims, and uplift what they have to say. i can't imagine how this must feel for them.
