Like alien did something like this, but the difference is that never once is what the xenomorphs are doing to their victims really, romanticized like this story.
truly !! and you can go any number of ways with a parasite horror concept. from *alien (1979)* to *the bay (2012)* the amount of inspiration you can pull is endless. it doesn’t have to veer into childbirth metaphor at all, despite how famous *alien’s* subtext is. *the bay* for example draws from real parasitic isopods that sever and replace the tongues of fish, eventually starving their host to death. imagine if this fazbear short was written to resemble how worms eat apples from the inside out. there are so many aspects of nature someone can use as inspiration instead. at the same time, i don’t think this concept is appropriate for their preschool reader demographic. ( edit : i want to echo notatall’s disclaimer that it’s not men being pregnant that is inappropriate, it’s the fetish aspect and the self mutilation !! intersex and trans people more often than not are able to safely give birth should they wish to, and are capable of being wonderful parents same as everyone else. their right to be bio parents must be protected. ) considering how cawthon positioned himself as ‘pro-life’ in his retirement announcement (still think it’s a rather strange name for pro-state enforced pregnancy but okay) the inclusion of this short story in fazbear frights from an unstated political bias disturbs me more than the writing ever could…
@cyl_genderfluid-furry just put an underscore on both sides of the comment! Just be careful with the periods n stuff because they'll mess it up (Example: _cheese_)
“Say what you will about William Afton but he would NEVER disrespect Women!” Maybe it’s just the one line he doesn’t cross, like the Joker hating Nazis or doing his taxes
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Yeah on a real note maybe the idea is that William is supposed to be just like Matt, which may be why he got chosen as a vessel for Springtrap Jr. to be, erm, grown in.
i mean, some the people cawthon chose for official fnaf art were bigots and made dead dove levels of disturbing ‘contributions’ to the fandom so i’m not surprised, just emotionally defeated lol.
Wasn't one of the art hires making illegal art and then Scott actually had to apologize because he never knew or wanted that kind of person on the art team?
When someone told me that Fnaf delved into Mpreg, I almost thought they were joking. Then I saw MatPat bring it up in a theory video and realized it was actually real. Didn't even know how to form a response to that. Just shock and mild concern
You know, I can’t help but believe Scott was trying to tell MatPat something with this. I’d really like to hear what Scott’s opinion on this story is. That said, please, let’s all just collectively forget about this story and everything it stands for. Other than that, the rewrites you proposed were great. As much as they could be given what you had to rewrite. They were more in-line with fnaf, and worked better with the themes the actual story should’ve used instead of what we got. Props to you! It never ceases to surprise me how much skill and talent you have, that you somehow managed to salvage this story. Can’t wait for the next video.
Honestly imagine if this actually did happen in any of the games, then the scariest thing about is that it will be officially canon to the lore. Hope MatPat will take good notes on this surprising theory.
I firmly believe it was this story that gave Fazbear Frights and the books the reputation they currently have. It’s the epitome of shock value (style) over substance.
My friend told me that this story was about MatPat after Scott got mad at him. The Thought never really dawned on me until I read the name of the character in the story, soo i don't know why this was an official story
they had the strangest parasocial relationship. it toed the line of actual malice for long enough to like unnerve me when it was happening when i was in middle school. the dynamic turned more playful after a couple years but it was… weird for a while.
I “like” how it’s Springtrap that gets Matt pregnant, but Matt also gives birth to Springtrap. Even if they wanted to go for a body horror type of story, why not go a parasitic route and have the parasite be a parallel to Michael. It’s a really weird story, but switch it around so Matt is an a metaphor for Springtrap with a more obvious transformation. Maybe have Matt cut something out of his upper chest (to lean away from c section mpreg) to tear out something purple and rotten wrapped around his heart. It could be used to describe William closing off his heart to his own children or his relationship with Michael. I just think it’s weird the mpreg doesn’t relate to William’s children; Springtrap is both the father and baby. Why go the mpreg route if you’re not going to talk about his actual kids?
@@AwesomeJellyBeansinging that bit to myself made me realize that the title of the game “Baba is You” is a reference to that fucking Homestuck thing (i barely know it my complicated web original bs was the Evillious Chronicles, and even then i fell off of it, I only know of Baby is You via Undertale)
According to my younger brother who read a lot of Warrior Cats books in elementary school, this Fazbear frights story about mpreg isn’t too crazy for a kid to pickup and read. Apparently there’s a LOT of graphic cat birth and murder in warrior cats? A lot of weird stuff that kids shouldn’t read, but that doesn’t stop it from being a popular series for younger kids
Warrior Cats does deal with birth and awful deaths but... The births are pretty much always portrayed as like a miracle of life and not weird body horror parasite. The books talk about the mother being in pain but there is most of the time a doctor (Medicine Cat) to help and a stick to bite down on. It says a sac slides out they break it open and then groom the kits to warm them up. No blood or creepy symptoms. Most of the deaths are ok but some (especially in the first series) are kinda gruesome, there are no guts but there is blood. One character is killed by the villain to lure dogs to the camp. Another character has his throat cut open and bleeds out 9 times over. These are the worst of the deaths scenes I think. While both I think should not be in the children's section, I would say that the Fazbear Frights story is way worse because it is body horror, and body horrors strength is to make you feel the awful uncomfortable feelings that the main character is feeling. No kid ever should feel that awfulness. Warriors however is never meant to make you feel like that.
Warrior Cats, in my opinion, is far more appropriate for kids than this was. It actually made sure to never let kids hear about birth in realistic way. Sure, birth does occur, but it’s almost always off-screen.
He did talk about the diffrent stories in the books at one point, also talking about how this charackter is possibly named after him and how Scott maybe wanted to tell him something with it.
This could be a really good original story separate from FNAF, like imagine a story set in the future where androids exist(similar to Detroit Become Human), a guy who has trouble with women because he’s an asshole and treats them like servants, he then buys a female android and basically gets her to be his new girlfriend/maid and he treats her badly, she becomes sentient and realises she has been treated badly and then kills him, that would be so cool
I really like the first idea, where the main character rots from the inside out, reflecting his personality, it would've been great body horror, something that relates to the firsts games of FNAF. I also like the last suggestion, of the maid bot that resembles Ballora, it's a great idea on psychological horror, almost like an abuse story, makes me remember the core of Ex Machina
honestly the biggest issue is simply a lack of quality control, this point in the series scott had a hands off approach to the books and it really shows, his main series was inconsistent mostly from throwing ideas at the wall, but they weren't as derivative or uncomfortable as some of these stories, at the very least he would have told folks to rewrite stuff like time traveling ballpits so it wouldn't intefere with his cat and mouse game with mat pat in regards to game lore. honestly moreso surprised this never became a bigger controversy noting the subject matter be it from perants or the fandom itself.
@@soupcangaming662 yeah but can't anything be a fetish for someone like furry's often say that their likes were from stuff they saw as kids. Plus I mean Jimmy Neutron did the same thing no?
@@lightdarksoul2097 I'd rather folks not pull a snider when creating kids media personally lol. Not gonna kink shame, I'm a furry I'm into worse but you know, keep it to yourself lol, and if for whatever reason you have to include it make it a short joke not a core part of the plot
@@sonicmeerkat yeah I can understand that I just don't know if that stuff would ever be like completely gone is all. Some parents are weird though. Just that Turning Red drama was crazy
I felt SO MUCH PAIN when you described the events of Under Construction, the In the Flesh of Tales From the Pizzaplex with the phrase "Super Cancer". It actually made me take psychic damage. As someone who has read the story, it really is just the writierr trying to make the Return to Freddys as canon as it can possibly be and it hurts so much.
Well there are a lot of them that came out since that one and some of them are pretty good, some okay, and some of them I didn’t even read yet but know a bit about them.
Not only is the mpreg stuff bad, but I feel like one of the other most uncomfortable parts of the story is how over the top Matt is. He feels like a caricature made out of visceral spite for someone, which is just plain weird
It sounds like the books have the same problem as most horror anthologies: the punishment must fit the crime in an ironic, satisfying way. The best episodes of Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt, etc operate on this logic. Its a delicate balance. Character suffers too little, the audience is mad because no comeuppance was issued. Character suffers too much, and the audience feels bad for the person we're meant to root against. If their end doesn't have an easy through line (Did the character cause this or did their personality naturally lead to this conclusion? Is it ironic?), then the audience is left scratching their head as to why this happened. This particular story suffers from both no through line and suffering level. He's a massive jerk, sure, but did he harm anyone enough to deserve this? No. Is there a through line between his actions and having baby trap? No. I think a better idea, given the confines of baby trap having to be a thing, are as follows. Bear in mind this is probably no longer PG 13, but making a PG anthology thats good quality and scary is actually hard. PG and scary have a hard time coexisting. Mat, a programmer, is obsessive over Springtrap. He traps and tortures the VR version every day. You could even imply that he gets something off of it, for PG rating, we'll say he gets a sadistic rush. He leaves on the VR program for hours, just so that Springtrap can sit and stew in whatever hell he's made. Heck, you can even have him tamper with the program one night to facilitate something even more drastic torture in game. I assume he can burn, maybe one could have him program in drowning or acid damage. You can even have him try to abuse a girlfriend in a lightly similar way as to the Springtrap program (for extra hatred points). The girlfriend of course gets out of dodge, but not before saying something that alludes to the character's demise. Point being, he needs to be the kick puppies, serial killer Jr type. One day, with his acute programing knowledge, Mat gets even more curious than normal and decides to poke around in the source code of the game and actually finds the glitchtrap virus. This is a mistake because the program holds a grudge. It starts heavily affecting his computer, and starts hopping from machine to machine. Its so bad that none of his mechanical objects are safe, not even his insulin pump. And that is what's causing this "Springtrap baby." Its not real, its a hallucination caused by his obsession with the animatronic and the virus causing his pump to malfunction, sending way too much through his body. It can start insidiously slowly throughout the days, and Mat, due to his weakened state and the somewhat similar symptoms of poisoning to pregnancy, perceives the little bundle of horror. He takes a knife and cuts himself in half trying to get out nothing at all. The police arrive, and they determine it to be a possible suicide since insulin overdose is one possible way, and the knife wounds are self inflicted. Its not perfect, but it resolves both the throughline and the amount of punishment. Still probably not appropriate for a children's book, but at least it makes sense?
I mean, it's a way better storyline than what we got, but as a person who takes insulin I can tell you that an insulin overdose would actually just bring his blood sugar so low that he'd fall into a coma and die. I do like your idea though, maybe the consequences of his actions could be that he is mentally tortured by Springtrap in the coma as he slowly dies, in a parallel to Afton's own fate.
@@BlueSkyBirdies but why do it to springtrap? It could be that he is furious that Springtrap killed one of his children, which would make more sense than just for fun.
@@anonymousanonymous3012 Then we'd feel too bad for protagonist if something really bad happens to them. Hardly anyone gets mad at people who are avenging their children. Just take a look at Gary Plauchè's incident where he fatally shot his son's abuser. Its just a sad incident. Especially if his avenging through abusing a VR program. Like a good chunk of the populace does that with just random NPCs in the Sims just for fun. I think it less likely that the father of a murder victim would just indulge in a torture sim of their child's killer, and instead be a breed of the same sort of someone that kills all their NPC's for fun. Then even if the motivation was changed to this, we'd have to tweak the ending so that its less harsh and scary, or dial up other aspects to be even worse. And the latter just causes more issues, such as dedicating more effort into making him look bad that's not closely related to the story, just like the bad dates from the original.
Now I'm just wondering how much better of a story it would have been if they leaned into the mpreg theme more rather than have it be this odd twist of fate, achieved its horror story goal all the same just in a really weird way :b
Fazbear Frights was already pretty graphic like The Breaking Wheel and Together Forever which ends with a graphic description of the skinned faces of two children inside an animatronic with looks of fear on their faces. There’s others but how has no one talked about this aspect of Fazbear Frights? They never bring up how brutal (and even the trilogy novels for that matter), and graphic these books get and don’t shy away from dead children either. They just dismiss these as Goosebumps clones, but (as someone who’s a gigantic fan of the franchise even as an adult), Goosebumps never had gory or graphic imagery, let alone in excruciating detail (I Live in Your Basement notwithstanding). Since no one, aside from the occasional FNAF fan, talks about Fetustrap at this point, it seems like something that would only become viral on Twitter a decade later because some guy made a popular RU-vid video talking about it, and people on Twitter try to start some stupid boycott long after the damage was done or long after anyone actually cared anymore.
Realizing Matt dsaf and Matt from the story having the same name was not something I ever realized and my life has dramatically changed now that I know
The worst part about this is, this isn't even the only Fazbear Frights story that lowkey feels like fet*sh material... Kids should NOT be reading these books...
I like the way you thought out the “Matt becoming springtrap” bit, so here’s the way I would’ve done it Matt’s body starts rotting like you said, but he’s getting increasingly aggressive to the point of eventually attacking and killing a small child. He’s not thinking clearly so he brings it back to his house to hide. He realizes the longer he’s close to the body, the more his rotting begins to slowly improve. But this effect isn’t permanent as bodies eventually wither away and lose effect so he starts adding to his corpse collection. When the rotting inevitably gets so bad that he can’t leave the house, he rebuilds springtrap as a suit for him to wear so that he can still go out and get more dead kids. He starts to enjoy it. Cuts off the few people who would tolerate him. Puts time and effort into refining his process of eternal half-life through proximity to child bodies. Eventually he gets sloppy and leaves some of his bodily muck at the scene of a murder/kidnap and through DNA identification he’s tracked down by the police. He’s so rotted that he can barely move and is stuck in the suit. The officers taze him, causing the suit to malfunction, killing him. The officers find the corpses in various stages of decay, and remove his body from the suit, finding it to be only a puddle of stinking flesh dotted with brittle bones. He became Springtrap, both mentally and physically
The remaining solid matter melts into a puddle, chemically staining and melting a portion of the floor. The police on-scene are disgusted, and at least 2 officers get out to vomit in the yard from the sheer smell and looks. Further investigation finds the collection of corpses in the locked away basement; sealed to prevent the smell from spreading, and all windows around the house with their shutters closed, and curtains covering them. A circle of the bodies, near unpreserved, in a decaying, disgusting mattress of which he once resided. They had to wear gas masks.
@@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527 Yes and that could be the reason why he’s so harsh towards women as well! A long term relationship with one could lead to a child
Wait, when I read the title I thought to myself "What is so weird about an Mpreg fanfic? That's everywhere." I didn't realize this was from an official book, lmao.
Honestly feels like one of those cases of "see what we can get past the editors/censors" with how bizarre and graphic it is. Frankly I feel like the writers for all the short stories are having a "who can make the craziest thing that gets published" competition, possibly with various categories like Craziest Plot, Most Graphic, Most Inappropriate for Kids, Most Grammar Errors, and Most Internally Inconsistent. If you few the stories that way they make a lot more sense...
Who exactly thought this was.. wanted? And why were they given creative freedom? Whoever did, I'm going to need a word with them. You are much more creative and inspired than the original. I'd much prefer your version.
That thumbnail is…wow. Really gets to the point. The notorious reputation of this story is entirely deserved, and it’s highly emblematic of the general disinterest from the writers to make this FNAF story about…well, FNAF characters. For how the cast *explodes* from game to game, using a character like springtrap feels like a lazy ploy to get people to read the story. He’s got what TV Tropes calls “Wolverine Publicity”. Something else I feel compelled to bring up how these books confuse “gross and unappealing” with “scary and intimidating”. It’s fine if you don’t want to have viruses and malicious androids as your only villains, but terrible ideas like this will only have the masses be more closed-minded to having a more diverse rouges gallery. I’d also like to commend you on making the visuals for these book recaps and such, where you can’t use gameplay screenshots. You must’ve had fun using puppet artwork and putting silly stuff over it in photoshop.
It's honestly surprising (and I mean that very negatively) how much children's books get away with. Warrior cats is a great example of stuff targeted at kids that's more violent and graphic than even most PG13 or TV14 shows - but it doesn't have swear words so it must be fine, right? There's also the whole book that actively shows a character grooming the main character of the book, with the end result being "oh no, she was trying to trick her into going to hell, that's bad!" being the moral rather than "oh no, he was flirting with a child while he was an adult, that's bad!" and of course no content warnings being present for the book. And at least that guy has been portrayed as a villain since his inception - there's plenty of "morally gray" characters, characters that get into cat heaven but have had both antagonistic and supportive roles in the series, who have dated their former apprentices (AKA, teenagers at the time - particularly teenagers who were specifically training under these adults). It's kind of inevitable that cats will have crushes on each other as adults even if one of them knew the other as a child because cats just grow up so fast and there's no "breeding season" in the books for the cats (NOT THAT I WANT THERE TO BE), but when some of these relationships go out of their way to point out that the two characters knew each other when one was still a minor, it goes from a byproduct of cat life cycles to Really Weird really fast. Some of them - the ones where the age gaps are smaller and the adult is only a young adult training the apprentice - straight up become mutual before they're both adults, so....yikes!
It's for teens. Just the publishers let it to be sold in kids' libraries. I guess they need even more money than they already get from this popular franchise. I don't what to think about Warrior cats though. That's gross.
Thank you for that little note in the “Is this appropriate for kids? O.o” chapter where you were like “hey! Just wanted to say that Matt getting pregnant isn’t the disturbing part, it’s the forced impregnation, realistic pregnancy, and self mutilation that’s disturbing”. As an afab trans person that made me really happy to hear cause I love your videos and it was very easy to misinterpret your point up to that point and it was making me very uncomfy because I can get pregnant and as a transmasc person it’s very depressingly normal for a trans man being pregnant to be treated like something gross or wrong or like something that makes him a faker
The Writer thought this was a good and normal story to write about Scott approved that this was a good and normal story to be included in the FNAF universe Scholastic (the Publisher) accepted this was a good and normal story to be published and rated it for _ages 12+_ It's insane how so many people approved this basically glorified MatPat pregnant fetish fanfic, with _the only little FNAF things_ are that Matt is working on a VR FNAF game and baby Springtrap... And yes I did say MatPat, the main character name is Matt, so Matt to MatPat. May be a big coincidence, but I have a little feeling that this only written to troll MatPat (funny thing is that he probably tried to connect this glorified fanfic to the FNAF timeline for _at least an hour_ lol). But hey, that's just a theory, a theory *from an actually normal mind*
If you felt bad about this it’s ok. You got to read this ‘story’ by yourself, I had to read this in a voice chat with 5 other people. So I can confirm that those date scenes do go on for way too long, and are truly….something to read.
there's a lot of weird thing made up in the fazbear rights books but this one is so bizarre i can't help but enjoy it. this story is so stupid that it goes from being bad to bizarre comedy, it reminds me of some of stuff adam sandlers made. i like the 'turning into springtrap' thing they ditched and tried to make a the thing reference, avoiding accidently indirectly implying william afton carrying all of his three kids literally.
I love how people edit Matt in the story to be MatPat and then make a photo of pregnant MatPat with Springtrap holding him from behind like, "WHAT IN THE SISTER LOCATION'S SCOOPING ROOM IS THAT?!" but also it's hilarious because the internet has destroyed my sense of humour
There is a story specifically I'll praise. I do enjoy a lot of the frights stories but one that really hit me was the cliffs. The father struggling with caring for that child hit me because it was close to what might’ve happened to my own father. I too was a premature baby born of C-section. My mom nearly died. (We found out around the second child the reason was preclampsia) So while reading I couldn’t help but imagine my own father struggling to care for baby me, or worse toddler me and baby brother. The story also evoked a lot of saddness in me from the depiction of the toddler, he’s written really well, and I was so relieved at the happy ending. If any story in it deserved that rare happy ending it was the cliffs. Maybe it was just my own personal connection but that story stuck with me.
The fact that this was originally supposed to be the last Non-Epilogue Fazbear Frights story before they got extended, tho. This was the original finale before the William Explodes In The Warehouse story. 😬
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Upon further inspection, it seems that the author of this story was Elley Cooper, who also did, among other stories, "Into the Pit", so this was such a weird way to intend to cap off the series. 👀 Alternately, that would be a chad move to submit that one with the intent to weasel in an extension. Look the publisher in the eye and say: "We could end it here, or maybe we've got room for a few more stories. The choice is yours. 🙃"
YESSSSSSSS MY FAVORITE DEAD HORSE TO BEAT!!! In all seriousness I'm so happy you made a new video about this story, the jokes about it will literally never get old
My mom tells me to read more books, but knowing Scott is capable of making stories the same quality as fanfics I can find on *AO3* is freaking INSANE to me (Not to generalize all books).
scott didn't write this he has people doing that for him my theory is they didn't know what to write and made a worse version of alien that was fnaf themed (or a parallel of fnaf help wanted with mpreg)
With the early fake-out plot point about the Springtrap simulations recursively killing each other and evolving, I thought the story was going to be a cautionary tale about not bottling up your anger because of how toxic and out-of-control it can get, and how if Matt learned to control his anger and be a better person, he'd solve how to fix his game and stop whatever rampaging Springtrap variant he accidentally let the game generate. I almost even gave the story the benefit of the doubt and considered that maybe whatever was growing inside him would dissolve if he learned to be a better person, as another allegory for holding onto anger being bad for you, and how you feel better and heal if you let it go. No, this story just whiffs at every turn. Your rewrites are a million times better. There's a weird take I used to hear constantly growing up, which was "Be nice to women and respect them...because they have the ability to give birth, which is weird and scary for us men", and I have the feeling that someone with that mentality wrote that story. The take was never "Be nice to women, because they are people too." It was always tinged with this sentiment that they are some strange, alien force. Funny Bear Game/Funny Bear Book is not the place for ANY of this discussion, even leaving aside the potential kink development. There are kid-friendly ways to discuss being kind to women without bringing in the concept of reproduction, which is ultimately irrelevant if the moral is to just be kind to another human being.
The books aren't even actually for kids, it's rated teen, but the publishers don't care. It's their fault for allowed fetish content and just letting it to be in the family friendly section in the first place.
Your story was better. It's more direct, has a clear line of actions to consequences and a satisfying ending. Nice work! I really liked that bit where the only thing left that was dirty was him. Well put. I hope our puppet maid goes on to take care of any other misogynists or incels she finds! Keep cleaning!
Let's not forget that at the end of the series that Eleanor was implied to be the villains of each story, or at least for the majority of the series. Soooo, did she impregnant Matt or is she the baby?
Its funny to think that In the Flesh could be a ribbing at MattPatt when Felix the Shark is a much more deliberate mockery of Lore Analysis in general. Dirk ultimately gets himself killed solving a mystery no one but he really cares about, with his reward for solving the case to be eaten by an animatronic shark no one will know about after he's gone. However, a Story of Glitchtrap/Afton involving pregnancy could have been something more if Mathew Became a parallel of William in a Third Way. Effectively make it a story about this Narcissistic womanizing asshole implied to having a one night stand with a woman, let's say her name is Clara. Be caught in a position where he can't avoid the consequences of his actions like Clara being the daughter of his Boss and if he doesn't go through with a wedding and pregnancy, Daddy Dearest will socially destroy Matt instead of just firing him. And for this horrible manchild eventually getting so furious that he has to take responsibility for his actions, he finds one of those Robot Exoskeletons like in The Breaking Wheel to have a Springlock Accident when he tries to solve his problem through violence. Not really reasonable to publish, but then again, Scott okayed a story involving M Preg. There seemingly is no quality control here, so why not at least have a story that would fly against every theory that Afton was ever a decent person or willing father?
also, i really appreciate your mention of it not being male pregnancy that's gross, but rather the framing of it and uncomfortable amount of detail in the story. fetishization of pregnancy in general already makes me uncomfortable (if something can even be tangentially related to children or babies the idea of sexualizing it makes me anxious), but i think there's an extra layer of grossness when it comes to ""mpreg"" as a fetish. it just feels so transphobic to me and, considering how much shit transmasc people already have to put up with, just makes me kind of angry.
I don't get why a transmasc person would wanna be pregnant anyway. but i hate when people fetishize anything, especially something that involves children.
ah yes, the springtrap story me and my twin giggled about at 3AM. my sibling has little to no intrest in the books (as far as i'm aware at least) but somehow vividly remembered every detail from story when we joked about it again. If it's anything, it isn't easy to forget. i really like the maidenette story, it's REALLY interesting and sounds like it would be one of the best stories if it was official. Maidenette doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to exist really, even in the games. Plus i like it cause instead of "hehe possesed by kid" or "i'm just built to have personality" i like the idea that an animatronic slowly grows to have feelings of their own; it's the best way to give personality to animatronics imo. really wish that there was more to her than being a rewrite for mpreg since i actually really like her character.
I love how you used the "model" of Matt from DSaF instead of Mat Pat. cuz oh my god, the whole thing about it supposedly being about Mat Pat drives me insane.
this story is the main reason i disagree with those people who say that fazbear frights is canon to the games... because GOD i dont want babytrap to be canon please for the love of god-
If there are two things that will give young FNaF fans mpreg fetishes in the future, it's In The Flesh and Glamrock Freddy. *I don't regret the second point.*
If this makes anything better, I've heard Oswald doesn't actually go back in time and it's rather an illusion by the monster. I still don't like these crazy ideas in the books, but at least this way it's more acceptable.
I wish the Fazbooks were written by fans, the ideas I hear always sound great. I also think the books should be for a older audience for all the gore that's in them.
Not quite. The books either have to tone down to fit their child audience or raise their age rating to keep the disturbing material. As of right now, the games can't even say blood, but the books are... not so bashful.
It is. It's originally for teens ( I don't know why they let it to be in kids' libraries 🤦♀️). But if you're thinking about exclusively adult books, yeah, that would show us the franchise's pure potenctial as a horror.
I think the worst thing about this story isn’t just… what’s the point, it’s that it’s about a character who’s damning action is that he bullied vr springtrap, a fictional program that is a stand-in for a serial murderer. And then he gets forcibly impregnated (raped) and carrying the baby kills him. And the story is completely unsympathetic to him because in the story he’s an exaggerated lame asshole, so I guess springtrap isn’t an asshole for raping him. It also seems like the way you read it the story is more concerned with immasculating “Matt” than it is with being anti-misogynistic, he’s lazy, he’s unsuccessful with women, and he’s pregnant, (him being pregnant is part of the reason he’s unsuccessful with women,) which is all not very manly. Like it doesn’t read like a karmic story, he doesn’t even fear about his pregnancy until moments before he cuts himself open, (he’d definitely have noticed if he was pregnant with a robot.) it reads like a “Matt” hate piece.
I find it interesting that the story itself reminded me of Rosemary's Baby both the movie and the novel by Ira Levin, and your secondary rewrite involving Maid-inette reminding me of the Stepford Wives agin both the novel and the movie by the same author. Though unintentional, I think I got to experience the concept of parallel thinking, something that I've been occasionally thinking about but always wanted to see play out outside of my social circle since my friends are the ones I naturally hang out with most so naturally we do share some of our thoughts or come to similar conclusions already, though with varied results due to our differing personalities and thought patterns. Also the first rewrite would be closer to what I would be doing the story if I was handed the reigns, a kinda subversive take that against Moral Guardians who think all of society's problems stem from video Games, Horror Movies, Heavy Metal Music etc. The evil didn't come from the game, it was within Matt the entire time.
As gross as this story is and as much as it terrified me, the adorable headcanons of Vanny(illegally) adopting a baby Springtrap and taking care of it like she's some big sister has been living rent-free in my head since the day I made it to calm myself down. (I'm pretty sure I'm weird-)
Well, this is....disturbing. Honestly, it's weird that this is available for children to read. I wonder how many awkward conversations this book has caused.
