Bot Boy Back Again (now In College :D) With Another Idea From My Brain

Bot boy back again (now in college :D) with another idea from my brain

Idea 7: Gregory did not have abusive parents

A lot of fanfics I've read about the 3 star ending all seem to have one thing in common, Gregory having at least one bad parent. Most have Gregory's father being terrible or just having left the family. Some of them have both mother and father be horribly abusive.

I had a different idea, what if instead of abusive parents Gregory had the opposite, 2 parents who loved him more than anything else. 

That does leave us with a troublesome question, if that's the case, then why does Gregory evidently live in a box?

Let us create a timeline of possible events:

Gregory is born

At around age 2 or something, Gregory's father is now out of the picture. This isn't because he abandons his family, no. 

It is because he dies…

It is quick, unexpected, and there is no warning. The reason can be whatever you want. (The more tragic the better)

So now Gregory's mother (M from here on out) now has to singlehandedly take care of toddler Gregory.

She does an amazing job! Her normal profession as a therapist (wink) helps her a lot in making sure Gregory behaves. 

It also helps M explain to him where his father is, and helps him grasp the dark concept of death at an early age.

M also makes certain that Gregory just how much his father loved him, even if can't remember him. She makes sure to let him know he is loved by her everyday.

M also teaches him some basic housekeeping tasks, so that Gregory can take care of himself when she has late nights at work.

Then one day at work, when Gregory is around 9, M gets a new patient at work. Some blonde beta tester, the only thing of note is her inconsistent childhood memories and the fact her 4 previous therapists have gone missing. 

A bit weird and slightly concerning, but what is the worst that can happen?

… I think we all know what happened next

Gregory wouldn't suspect anything was wrong, thinking his mom is just having another late night at work.

Then some people show up, they say that his mother has *ahem* "gone missing" and that they have to take him to an orphanage for the time being.

Gregory immediately knows that his mother is dead, he can hear it when they stutter just before saying "gone missing". Ironically his mother did the same thing when she first explained where his father went.

Before he gets a chance to properly grieve, Gregory is in an orphanage with about a dozen other children. This is because he doesn't have any relatives 

Most of the caretakers there seem apathetic. Some care a bit more, but it is leagues away from how much his mother cares-... cared for him.

One of the caretakers seems to actively hurt him whenever they can. They hate kids, (Like Vanessa in the game, but without the valid excuse of being possessed by a British furry) and seemingly only took the job either as a way to get some easy money or as a chance to hurt kids.

When Gregory finally gets a chance to cry over his mother's death, that "caretaker" is there yelling at him to "stop whining and get over it"

This is too much for him so he decides to run away. He finds living in a box in an alley to be difficult, but at least no one can hurt him now.

Then the games events happen

I think that this idea could work, the sudden shift between having a loving home and then being thrown into a harsher environment would make Gregory be distrustful of adult strangers.

After everything though, things would get better. Gregory gets the father figure he never really had in the form of a robot bear (wow this series has gotten weird) and a loving…mother? Sister? Aunt figure? in Vanessa.

            Also if you're wondering how Gregory would react to learning who killed his mother, I think he would understand that it was Vanny’s doing, not Vanessa's and be quick to reassure her that he doesn't blame her. Vanessa would likely hate herself just that little bit more, knowing that it was her (noitwasvannys) who orphaned a child. 

I hope you enjoyed another rambling courtesy of me, bot boy!

Oh hope you're having fun in college!

But huh, interesting idea! I had a vague idea what I wanted to do with my Gregory's past, I even mentioned it in roleplays on the gregaverse server

Though I never was really satisfied with it, and now this my friend, if you allow I'd like to take into my greedy little hands ( つ ◕w◕ )つ

Of course, with some changes here and there to fit my au better haha I won't say what those changes are in case I ever get to actually make the comic or write it as fanfiction

But yes, I've thoroughly enjoyed your rambles XD have been helping me a lot as well cuz I've been absolutely clueless with what I want to do with Vanessa lol

Idea 9

After Vanessa learns how Gregory freed her from Glitchtrap, she calls him "my little knight" as a term of endearment.

(Get it? Because Princess Quest? Knights save Princesses?...moving on)

Kinda surprised no one has come up with this one yet tbh

Idea 11/rambling: Nightmare thing

I’ve decided to try and write a ficlet thing. The last time I really did this was idea 4, and that currently has inspired the creation of 2 stories. Actually this thing has a lot in relation to idea 4, it is my favorite so I'm not surprised. So if you can read past my lackluster writing skills, maybe someone will find it interesting.

This would take place a day after the previous idea. Freddy is now fully repaired, but the others are still being worked on. 

So Vanessa would again bring Gregory with her to work. This time he would just hang out with Freddy in his green room, playing games such as “Faz Brawl” (aka Super Smash Bros with a FNAF skin)

Vanessa, meanwhile, decides to try and just stay in the main office, to avoid another incident like the night previously, and just “supervise” things with the cameras. There is only one issue, she can’t actually know how to use any of the equipment. (see idea 1) After spending the better part of an hour trying to get anything to work, she throws in the towel. With nothing better to do, she decides to take a quick nap while she has the chance. She sets an alarm on her phone and tells Freddy on the fazwatch what she is doing.

A couple hours later she wakes up, not feeling particularly well rested and also a bit sore for some reason. She doesn’t think much of it and heads over to Freddy's room to pick up Gregory. 

Vanessa gets to the room and knocks on the door, not wanting to be impolite, and waits. A minute passes with no response from the room, so she tries to contact them on her fazwatch. Still nothing… Now Vanessa is starting to get really worried and begins to wander around the pizzaplex calling their names to try and find them. 

After around 20 minutes of frantic searching, Vanessa suddenly remembers that the fazwatch has a tracker that she can use to find other fazwatches, like the one that Gregory has. She figures out how to get it to work after some trial and error. It shows that his fazwatch is currently located in one of the small storage rooms around the complex.

So she heads over to the room, and stops in front of the slightly ajar door. She knocks and calls his name…no response. Vanessa then slowly opens the door while announcing that she is entering, so as to not scare Gregory by accident. She enters the room and see’s…Gregory underneath a blanket on a chair in the back with Freddy in rest mode standing next to him.

Vanessa lets out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. Gregory and Freddy were just resting! Of course, that explains why she didn’t get a response when she tried to contact. Relieved, she walks over to where Gregory is sleeping, carefully pulls the blanket off him and…

…let’s out a blood curdling shriek at the sight that greets her, Gregory disemboweled and covered in blood and collapses onto the floor. She starts hyperventilating and crying as she tries to figure out how this possibly could've happened. Her question is answered when she hears a familiar giggle behind her. 

She turns around to discover…Vanny, standing over her. Vanessa goes silent, how is SHE here? Weren't those games supposed to make Vanny go away? Did they miss something?... was it a trick and the games never did anything, and this was all some kind of ploy? Instead of asking those questions, the only Vanessa that can muster the strength to shakily say is,, "Wh-what did y-you do?"

Suddenly Vanessa is assaulted with memories that aren't hers. They show that while she was sleeping, Vanny took over. She used a secret app on her phone to control Freddy to lure Gregory into a back room under the pretense of a surprise. There Vanny did the deed, quickly so as to avoid a repeat of the last time she captured him. After that she made sure to make the corpse as ruined as possible and she covered his body with a blanket with a non absorbent backing so the blood wouldn't soak into it and make it look like he was sleeping. This was all done to maximize the "surprises" effect on Vanessa. After that, Vanny washed her hands (the disemboweling process was VERY messy) and placed her body in the exact same position that Vanessa was in when she fell asleep so she would be none the wiser.

Vanessa tries to convince herself that that didn't happen, but deep down she knows it did. What erases her delusions is when she notices the small flecks of blood under her fingernails. Vanny just giggles even more as she watches her break down. Vanny then begins to take over again leaving Vanessa to scream in agony as she desperately tries to remain in control, all the while knowing that it's hopeless and she's about to go back being a monster and shedoesntwanttoshedoesntwanttopleasehelphelphelphe-

Then Vanessa wakes up, for real this time, back in the office. It would appear that what she just experienced was all just a horrible nightmare. She checks her phone and finds that it has only been 20 minutes since she fell asleep. Then, upon remembering what happened in that nightmare, Vanessa tries to contact Freddy and Gregory just in case. She is very relieved when she gets a quick response. Having calmed down Vanessa realizes that being by herself all night is not a good idea, mostly because she doesn't want to be alone with her thoughts, or at least what she HOPES are her own thoughts. 

So Vanessa heads over to Freddy’s room and asks if she can hang out with the 2 of them. Freddy, of course, agrees immediately while Gregory cautiously agrees after some convincing from Freddy. Vanessa just sits and watches them play before gathering the courage to quietly ask if she can join them. They say yes and the 3 of them end up having a good time playing video games together. It is a good first step on the long road to family fun!

(Again my lackluster writing skills are on full display here :P)

I'm just gonna drop in like a Bombshell (if you know you know) and derail this ship discussion train with a fic that shows the true potential for the underrated Luis x Vanessa boat.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/39861726/chapters/99806337

It is still a work in progress but I likento think that it shows how wholesome the ship can be.

(It also features smol toddler Gregory, which is adorable)

(here's the link from the second ask)

For anyone looking for fic recs with Luis!

Happy 4th of July! Decided to celebrate by putting some "flamethrowers" on Chloride. They ended up working really well! Hope y'all have a great night (at The Isles At wellington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfnKbADrfvG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Idea 10/scenario: Expansion of a thought, Vanessa encounters a child 

I wanted to expand on a thought brought up in idea 6. An encounter that Vanessa has during her last 2 weeks as a security guard. This is kinda a Mashup of previous ideas as well.

Here's the set up:

It's been around a day or 2 since the 3 star ending.

Gregory now "lives" with Vanessa because she refuses to let him live in a box, he expresses fear at being sent to an orphanage and the pizzaplex is too much of a safety hazard for him to live there. She brings him to work with her and lets him just run around doing kid stuff. She also talks to her boss before he leaves and puts in her 2 week notice. Meanwhile Freddy is down in maintenance getting rebuilt after being destroyed by the staff bots, as well as all the other bots.

So Vanessa would just be walking around trying to do a job she has no idea how to do, unable to use any of the various security devices. This is on account of the fact that Vanny left her with no memories of how to do "her" job and use most of the equipment (as talked about in idea 1)

So she's just wandering around and eventually winds up in the main atrium. Then she sees some movement in the distance. At first she thinks it's a staffbot just on patrol. Wait no, it's a person, she can tell by the way they are moving. Vanessa would be a bit concerned because she has no clue on how to deal with an intruder because "she" was never trained for this. Vanessa chances getting a bit closer to see if this person looks dangerous or is just lost. It is then she realizes that this isn't just a person, actually it's a…

child.

Everything goes still, suddenly Vanessa is no longer there. She's back in that…thing, that costume (no she left it back at home, right?) Back in that state of being an observer in her own body, forced to watch as she…no, as VANNY lures a different child with false promises of wonder and joy, leading them down into a hidden room, locking the door, pulling out her knife, watching their joy filled expression turn to one of pure fear and… well, you know what happens next.

After the memory ends Vanessa would then find herself back, still watching the child, who hasn't noticed her yet. She would panic, terrified of the child getting closer to her or staying within eyesight for any longer. This is for multiple reasons, every child (except Gregory) that has come near her in the last 6 months has died at her (Vannys) hand, a trend she does not want to continue. 

She also doesn't know if Vanny can, just, come back. She doesn't know if there is some sort of trigger, such as being near children, and she doesn't want to find out now.

So she runs away as fast as she can into the nearest security room, locks the doors, gets into a corner and curls into a ball as the memories of all of her (VANNYS) victims' slow deaths come back in full force. In the midst of her panic attack she realizes that she is going to have to figure out a way to get this kid out of the pizzaplex before they get hurt. 

So she manages to calm herself down enough to contact Gregory on her fazwatch and asks him to take care of it. Gregory can tell that Vanessa is having a bad time by the fear in her voice. He knows it well, hearing it a lot in that…orphanage…

So he goes to her location using the fazwatch trackers, and opens the door using the security pass that Vanessa managed to get him. There he finds her taking in shuddering breaths in a corner of the room.

Gregory is unsure of what to do, he is still a bit wary around Vanessa for obvious reasons and doesn't want to get too close. However, he can see that she isn't faking her panic attack, and decides to settle on awkwardly patting Vanessa on her back until she eventually calms down. (Again, she is ok around Gregory because she knows he can defend himself. I mean the menace threw a go-kart at a robot)

After calming down, Gregory would suggest to Vanessa that they should go and get the child to safety together. Vanessa would object strongly to this, saying that she, "Doesn't want to have another child's death on her conscious ". But ya boi Greglin would look her in the eye and tell her with total conviction that he will "make sure that nothing bad happens". Vanessa would close her eyes, take a deep breath in, and reluctantly agree.

They would walk together, Vanessa would be holding Gregory's hand for support (technically Gregory would be holding her hand, just in case something happens and he needs to make a quick getaway). Upon getting to the child, things get a lot better. They would contact the kid's parents with a phone number that the kid remembers. 

Turns out the kid was accidentally left behind by a REALLY forgetful uncle or something idk. The parents would make a late night trip out, and retrieve their kid. They would thank Vanessa and Gregory (his presence is explained by some excuse about a "junior guard program") and give their sincere gratitude.

After they leave, Vanessa would then just kinda stand there in a combination of disbelief and pure joy that she was near a child, and nothing bad happened! The 2 of them have just taken a single step. For Vanessa it's getting over the time she spent under Vanny and GlitchTrap. For Gregory it's getting more comfortable around Vanessa.

Admittedly this one is kinda rougher than my other ideas, mostly because I tried to make some sort of story which I suck at :P. I hope y'all like it regardless!
