Every few years a bible fanfic emerges and it has the gays in a choke hold. If you liked voltron youāre obsessed with Hazbin hotel and specifically angelxhusk I donāt make the rules.
So in LIS s1 ep1 (i think) the Robot shows will the interlocked circles and says danger. We later learn this is his home planet/colony. But this also could've been a double meaning for the black hole behind the sun of the planet the famiy crash landed on in s1.

When I was recovering from suicidal ideation and severe depression, someone asked me "What kept you going?" It took every atom in my body to not say the carnal determination of acquiring a boyfriend and cosplaying huskerdust with him.
I rewatched Nimona and noticed that little joke in the alleyway nearby the market.
Istg every time you rewatch this movie, you notice more and more small details.
headcanon that angel and alastor will sometimes pretend to be romantically involved in subtle ways when they go out, because NO ONE is gonna mess with angel if they see him holding hands with the radio demon.
(angel told husk about this after the first time alastor put his arm around him when he was being harassed -- and husk doesn't mind because he knows full well that alastor considers angel his family, in a way that makes the mere idea of anything explicitly romantic or sexual with angel absolutely repulsive to him.)
sure, angel can handle himself -- a lot of the time. but it gets really fucking overwhelming when every other person leers at him, either because (and not just the fact that he's famous) they're judging him, are off-put by his gender presentation or something else about him (his outfits in general, how he's often high in public, how he usually has marks on him like visible bruises), or because they're "interested."
none of these are any better than the other. and then there's all the comments.
sometimes he doesn't feel like holding his head high or sarcastically dismissing them. sometimes he feels like he can't breathe. sometimes he wants to get violent, or scream, or run away, or curl up in a ball on the ground.
sometimes he just doesn't want to be alone.
In case you're wondering this is an 17~minute read.

Yup, I wrote an entire essay with pictures to take the blame from a fictional gator that became my comfort character. If someone from Steel Wool is reading this: Yes, Iām ok, thanks for asking. If you want to send a cute Monty picture to my inbox, it is open and Iāll be all over the place if you do it.
Now, let me take you with me on this wild ride, because this theory fits the narrative of both Security Breach and Ruin so well that I have to clap at Steel Wool if it is actually correct and not me playing with the puzzle pieces incorrectly. So, here we go!
Bonnie, judging by the golden eyes and his travel pattern, was protecting someone like Freddy did with Gregory. Important damage was directed to the stomach hatch, where a kid could hide.
He has claw marks there, but Monty didnāt got his until the first was decommissioned and was then modified to play his bass.
The scratches in his hatch are green, but also the cracks over it. It looks like it is his base color instead of paint left by the attacker. The next video is from FazFriends, where they look at every single detail in the Ruin animatronic models. Their analysis are totally worth your attention if you like SB!
Monty has black nails, even before he was modified to play Bonnieās bass. They also are kinda blunt, and the marks the attacker left seem more clean and sharp in the ends.
Now, there arenāt lots of animatronics that have claws. We have Roxy (and Iām guessing Foxy, if he ever existed as an animatronic different to her), The mimic/Burntrap, who doesnāt really seem an option because heās slow and in life support in SB and sealed in Ruin, and⦠thereās Freddy. But, and hereās the twist, not normal Freddy, who couldnāt get through gates like Monty until he got his claws.
Not only do we have environmental clues that confirm this attack, but also a key clue that wouldnāt make any sense otherwise.
Letās start with the Prototype itself!
Check those claws. They are sturdy enough to survive all the damage this model has received, and extremely sharp at the end. Now compare Bonnie and its hand togetherā¦
Itās a perfect fit. The metal is a bit bent in the left, but if you could lower it, the finger length, the palm, even the distance and shape between the thumb and index are the same than the hole in Bonnieās chest.
If that detail is true, all pieces of the narrative fit together. Hereās what happened, which I will explain further adding sources:
This next part is not so clear, so Iāll give you my version of what I think happened that night: Bonnie alerted police that a kid was in danger. They show up, but Vanessa sent them away, claiming she was the only person there and it was a prank call (False Alarm message in SB). Vanny uses Bonnieās trust on Freddy against him: she sends the prototype to go after the kid and him. He makes it to Montyās, where the hurricane causes damage to the prototype, and is then finally attacked and disassembled behind his attraction to silence him and bury any clue or what happened (his parts are all over the place, one of his arms has weel marks, and Ruin follows the PQ ending where Freddy is disassembled. In SB, endos come out from the lines to attack us, and in Ruin we see the zone where his vanity is infested with STAFF robots, both in its normal version and in VR, where a giant STAFF robot is seen being dragged to a door while it leaves scratch marks on the floor).
Fazbear Entertainment pretended they actually looked for Bonnie and found nothing at all. As a final punishment for his disobedience he was actively being erased from existence: most of his art was removed, and some ask for a re-theme of his attraction (Re-theme SB message). They make Monty the main bassist, giving him his green room too.
These changes are being quickly pushed after his decommission: Bonnie still has power when we find him, Monty falls from the catwalks āa month agoā and snaps in half, a place where he goes every time he skips a performance (Monty Mischief SB message), people constantly ask for Bonnie and there isnāt an approved answer to give, the bowling alley still wasnāt given a re-theme after taking out most of Bonnieās images.
Despite FazEnt efforts, Bonnie is remembered, specially by a depressed Monty.
His body was modified, he was given his bass, his glasses, his room, his role. The higher ups clapped thinking about the possibility of him being even more popular than Bonnie, his disappearance becoming yet another opportunity to make money.
From that day, and after getting new claws, his attitude becomes obsessive, endlessly searching for what was left of Bonnie after the rest gave up: destroying fences to explore the undergrounds, constantly missing shows and always being found in the catwalks, even after being snapped in half by the hole-in-one bucket, trying to guess where his body was. His last known location was his attraction, so he should still be there somewhere, isnāt it?
Let me repeat this: he prefers looking for Bonnie in the catwalks even at risk of his own integrity than performing.
There are more details that show us he does care for him: there are four official images left of Glamrock Bonnie in the PizzaPlex, three of them in Montyās ride, the last one at the entrance of his own attraction, where some animations can still be seen. These cutouts are in perfect shape, while Freddyās is light off.
There is also a headless Freddy statue that once you go to FazerBlast screams āprototypeā.
It looks like itās been decapitated by a hurricane, some ācablesā coming out of its head like the prototype, which has cables coming out of its neck.
This damage couldnāt have been caused by the earthquake: the head should had fallen to the ground instead of being pinned on the hurricane. Plus, it doesnāt match the theme of the ride, based on cutouts, and while the rest of the elements are placed in scenarios and their composition is clearly studied, this statue breaks the symmetry of the hurricaneās eye element, that is supposed to give you the illusion that you are entering its eye and being pushed out to the main attraction.
Whatās more, in a story exclusively about Montyās past and how he became a solo bassist in the PizzaPlex thanks to Bonnie, attracting the same amount of people than the Glamrocks themselves, a Freddy statue at the end doesnāt make any sense sense at all⦠Unless it was put there with a very particular purpose.
I like to think itās part of an environmental story telling from Steel Wool, specially when you read the rest of clues together.
It also has two blue long lines through his chest that resemble the ones in Bonnieās.
If you still have doubt about how it is part of a scene representing the night of the attack, then you should know there is an easter egg here: if you follow the part of the tornado that goes up, you can see a Bonnie cutout at the very top of it. Heās far away from the rest of the scene and he looks like if he was being knocked by the tornado. If you zoom to look at his face, you can see he has a worried expression.
Monty didnāt destroy any of the images of Bonnie or his previous iterations, not the cutouts, not this poster, not the bass that belonged to him, even after causing damage to his room.
There is a detail in Gator Golf that is easy to miss: An intact poster of the original Bonnie near a log he uses as a hideout in Ruin (we see him quickly going out of it when we approach it).
He looks similar to the illustration at the entrance of Bonnie Bowl, but this image is not very charming. He looks half dead, yeah...? If you then go to Bonnieās, some big screens are still on and advertising pizza. When you wear the mask, they change to a glitched version of the Bonnie animation, where his eyes go blank in a similar way to this poster.
This spot couldnāt have been used by Vanny: it is decorated exactly like the rest of Gator Golf in the base game, which ends with us saving Vanessa and exiting the PizzaPlex together.
The poster also has a drawing of Freddy stuck on it. In this chapter you can also find the Bonnieās piƱata collectible, the first time we can see his Glamrock design and the first clue of him having suffered an attack (it has a big gash in his chest).
He could have easily taken it down if he wanted, specially when it is so close to his hideout and heās in such a volatile state, but he keeps it right beside it.
The most common example in Security Breach is the arcade version of Montyās Gator Golf. There are two possible readings for it, depending on if you think it represents Montyās mind or if you think it has been hacked to change his behavior.
Hole 1 depicts Freddy separated from the group, a big distance between them. Hole 9 shows him in a dumpster, and Chica, Roxy and Monty playing together. Heās never part of the group, so either Monty hates him or he was hacked so he would hate him, right?
But the main show were he looks happily at him while playing, the fact that he never attacks him even after being hacked, the presence of images of him on other holes all perfectly light and ok like this balloon, and the eye color difference between Hole 1 and 9, make me think Steel Wool is trying to tell us a way different story.
The Freddy in the dumpster is the only one with golden eyes. Hole 9 represents what is happening the night we play as Gregory, the AR part of the AR-cade, and of the main reasons the Monty taking down theory was so popular.
That night, Roxy, Chica and him are working on finding the kid to the point that their cases crack and get dirty, while Freddy not only glitched at the start of the show hours before, but is now also walking around the PizzaPlex doing NOTHING instead of helping (apparently).
Itās the animatronic equivalent of a group project were one of the members does nothing, so you have to do their part and then they show up and are praised. It makes sense he would be angry at the situation and think heās trash, but even so, there are no real confrontations between them.
But what about Hole 1, then? The answer is the fireflies. There are some fireflies at the left part, but the right, where Freddy is looking, has other set of lights. If you calculate the distance from Chica to him, the center is almost where the hole is, the part of the arcade that is supposed to drag your attention. Having an empty space there feels uncomfortable and a very questionable decision from whomever designed the scene, but if this one is a reflection from reality or Montyās current mind state, why arenāt Freddyās eyes gold?
Well, I donāt think he is separated from his band.
I think someone is missing from the picture instead.
Bonnie was erased from the Arcade.
As it was said, these changes were quick and non-planned: they deleted his model from the arcade, but had no time to move and reprogram the positions of the rest of the characters so the space between them was filled. As a consequence, when you play this level, your attention is taken from the hole to the distance between them.
It is void, awkward, it makes you uncomfortable. You know something is missing, but you canāt quite tell what it is yet. It makes you wish there was one more character there even before you knew there actually was.
Once you learn what happened, how his story ties to the place this scenario represents, the void he left in Freddy and Monty specifically, Hole 1 gains a new meaning, and it hits you. When you go back to the PizzaPlex as Cassie and play the arcade, thereās no joy left there. No fireflies, no Glamrocks, just ruins. Two pairs of red eyes and a pile of Nightmare STAFF bots. Thatās all thatās left.
But if you still need one more clue to convince you that the prototype was the one that attacked Bonnie, then let me tell you there is a final one that wouldnāt make sense otherwise:
The AR collectibles dialogue.
Cassie always makes a commentary about the things she finds: Montyās AR plushie being very glitchy, how she wants to add Roxyās one to her collection, how the her father wouldnāt tell her why they replaced Bonnie and how he was his dadās favoriteā¦
But she also asks him what happened to him, and gets an answer when she gets the last collectible.
The AR Golden Bonnie is hidden in Bonnie Bowl, next to a Wet Floor Sign bot.
She hasnāt been to Fazer Blast yet.
But the description answers the question that she asked him: a prototype.
do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets
remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.
thank you, Marsha. we remember you.
