this isn't really super intended to be a proper blogpost, just somewhere i can put a rant i made on discord a day ago!! just for general preservation purposes ykyk. but if ur interested, give it a read! very biased, however. more blogposts to come <3
i hate fnafhs remake cami she feels more like a post redemption cami than an already given cami
like. you ruined all her mystery and charm she's a fucking terrifying silent creature of the abyss not an uptight relatively normal and overall good hearted person who experiences human emotions. the cami i know doesnt even know what the fuck that is
like yes that SHOULD definitely be her character at one point it just doesn't make sense to make it her character at the starting point??? Make her not fleshed out, make her mysterious make her vengeful make her terrifying make her a VILLAIN because she IS ONE
it seems like the remake is going really far to try and humanise and give character to the villains (student council) from the get go and i just??? Honestly i don't agree. I want them to be unlikeable at the beginning. I want them to be VILLAINS. Why start out with owynn fucking crying his eyes out over his faggot ass ex and get given a BOUQET saying sorry from golden. He doesn't deserve that
and it doesn't make sense cuz they've OBVIPUSLY flanderized eak and towntrap instead of having a comedic dynamic they instead are just. Yaoi. And honestly not a big fan of that but maybe cuz I'm #homophobic (jokingly)
LIKE ok let's talk about owynn. I LIKE IT when people put emphasis on his relationship with freddy and their own take on why freddy betrayed him, and how owynn isn't able to get over it and how it's (probably) the catalyst to why he's the way that he is. But being boo hoo sad and all over freddy is LITERALLY not his only character trait. He spends his first few scenes BEING a villain and DOING bad things, he's not a good person, even if freddy was his catalyst he's still definitely a bad person from the get go he's INTRODUCED. he definitely COULD HAVE BEEN EVEN BEFORE THAT!! the lyric of him talking about freddy and the additional scene of him tearing a photo of freddy appears for SPLIT. SECONDS. and it suddenly becomes HIS ONLY CHARACTERISTIC!! HIS ONLY MOTIVE!! constantly being mischaracterized for his entire thing to be about ONE ENTIRE CHARACTER!! yes u can do that but at least do that WELL. it's 5 episodes and he's already crying over how freddy hurt him? The MAIN villain? That's fucking pathetic
yes he can have some doomed yaoi shit going on and think about freddy a lot but can he also just please be his own character in a regard? At least try to make him interesting by doing things SEPERATED from freddy? The first episode he appears in, he looks at freddys file. Then he spies on freddy, then he encounters freddy freddy freddy WE GET IT HE FUCKING HASNT GOTTEN OVER FREDDY THEY HAVE A MESSY COMPLICATED PAST I DONT CAAAREEE ANYMORE JUST MAKE HIM A VILLAIN BRUH
this needless obsession to humanise the BAD GUYS according to your wet dream headcanons is singlehandedly DESTROYING THE ENTIRE POINT OF CONFLICT!!
introduce their motives, show them being some semblance of good and expand on their characters maybe AFTER ESTABLISHING ANY FORM OF CONFLICT????
I genuinely just can't fathom how ANYONE in the fnafhs fandom writes. Connie and lisa both just fucking made fnafhs not for any good storytelling but to shoe horn in personal headcanons and biases and edd0 just doesn't know how to write at all
It pisses me off because fnafhs remake could have been so much more. There was so much potential with the pacing they could have remade but it quickly delve into dumb fucking fanservice.
and don't get me STARTED on how needlessly HOSTILE fred is towards freddy in fnafhs ep 4 I know I said this before it just makes me wanna kersplode
Fred's whole thing is that he's persuasive and antagonistic, yes, but he only is that way BECAUSE HE WANTS TO HELP FREDDY SUCCEED. not that he HATES him fred has a twisted perception of their desires and carries them out in an antagonizing way because that is the only way how to do things. freddy is equally at fault for not even giving fred a chance at anything in their life, but he is NOT at fault for the crummy way Fred acts towards him yet the fnafhs remake TREATS HIM LIKE HE IS??? an unspoken "incident" and this sudden factoid that freddy is an "unstable" person are you genuinely hearing yourself right now???? why insist on making ONE side out to be the bad guy when clearly Fred and freddys whole situation is that they DONT understand EACHOTHER?
It just sucks because not only are you misinterpreting a surprisingly well thought eddo writing decision (very rare), you are also just BASICALLY doing the polar opposite of what you wanted for the rewrite. Which is FLESHING THE CHARACTERS OUT, MAKING THEM SYMPATHETIC, AND MAKING THEM COMPLEX!!! that's what you TRIED to do for the villains but it seemed to forced for such an early stage of the series. It just makes Fred and freddys relationship seem so fucking one dimensional
And SURE there's definitely gonna be something along those lines with fred and freddy I'm sure of it there will be a misunderstanding maybe even complex arc but you fail to realise you already had it from the get go!!! so it's stupid anyways!!! Like saying shit that "fred is completely in the right for what he's said to freddy" is HORRENDOUS. like no he should not be????
like a fairly complex dynamic deeply rooted in misunderstanding, distrust and not wanting to understand eachother should not be boiled down to such garbage as GUY 1 IS RIGHT AND GUY 2 IS IRRATIONAL
YOURE MISSING THE POINT!! THE ENTIRETY OF THE FNAFHS REMAKE IS MISSING THE POINT!! I JUST I JUST IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY
FRED GENUINELY CARES ABOUT FREDDY IN SEASON 1. YOU CAN TELL IT, EVEN DESPITE HIS EMO FUCKING STUPID ASS SANS SONGS U CAN TELL HE WANTS BOTH OF THEM TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT, HE WANTS BOTH OF THEM TO SUCCEED, HE WANTS BOTH OF THEM TO WORK TOGETHER. HE EVEN SUGGESTS SO IN THE WHOLE SONG WHERE HE IS ANTAGONIZIN AGAINST FREDDY IS THAT NOT INTERESITNG????????
[one of my friends interjected with a comment at this point, saying] "dont wanna interrupt but. i think a lot of creators forget that characters can be fleshed out complex and sympathetic while also being bad people and/or fucking up a lot"
[another commented,] "TRUTH . the way you talk about the show and writing makes it seem like the creators are like. Really scared to make any of the characters actually bad people so all of the "villains" are like dumbed down to one specific trait so that they aren't. "bad" per say"
I just think the fnafhs writers (mainly Connie and lisa) see them as sooo one dimensional or have such a pre determined image of them in their heads they don't really look to see the nuances of their characters in the actual damn series.
It just sucks because what's the point of having villain characters if your first decision is to make them sympathetic and likeable? It takes away the whole point of their character But at the same time they can co exist with those aspects! You just need to know how to write it well it's not IMPOSSIBLE Make them bad. Make them do bad things! Make them be bad people! Make the audience dislike them as much as the characters do, make them feel EMOTIONS with them!!!
Make them fucking assholes, make them sadistic lunatics. Because at the end of the day, that is what a villain is. A character who serves a role to create conflict, to be a catalyst fo bad things, to be bad. I just think maybe the writers don't get that
then we proceeded to dog on hazbin hotel for a bit after. we got very off track. anyways, very emotion filled rant but only because ijust!! love fnafhs so much ok T__T i really just think the remake could have done better. i think the creators are talented but their writing is just so so abhorrently flawed. if i get into like, loopholes and make some writing errors please forgive me i am just a teen im not like a pro at storytelling whatsoever.
