hes also like. not lore relevant at all. tony atleast investigates GGY but ellis is just There, and whilst i believe he would investigate after tony and gregory's missing statuses no one cares enough to explore that scenario

we Also view him through an extremely biased narrator who doesnt like him very much so that means we get even Less on him and the info we Do Get is extremely Tainted by the Tony Beckerisms

I mean before fnaf I was in harry potter and the HP fandom includes EVERYONE (including the side characters mentioned once, unless they're ugly) so maybe that's why I'm confused on why this character with 10 lines isn't included 😭 also I don't like hp anymore and I don't support JKR (or Scott.)

And about Ellis, as you all already said, he doesn't have much to say or do. There are really very limited moments where Ellis is included in drawings and it's usually just a character sheet or 1 interaction.

I'll be honest that I also have very little hcs surrounding him compared to Tony (I have MANY hcs about him and also have a GGY trio analysis post which clarifies my own interpretation of the Trio). But I still love him and have AUs / Fanfic drafts where his dynamic with Tony gets explored. I just.... Haven't really finished them enough to post them yet.

And about the Cassie question... She's low-key just more popular and loved, so people like to explore her possible dynamic with Tony, compared to Ellis...

And don't worry, as interesting as it is, I HATE that Tony's friendship with Ellis gets often not explored or at least be treated pretty limited / stereotypical. Cassie and Gregory are best friends and have tension in Canon but still get drawn / written to have fun times!! So why don't Tony & Ellis have that?! They are childhood friends! People could literally draw /write their “old times” before all the GGY stuff / Gregory entered their friend group!

... It's frustrating me.

Unfortunately, it IS true that many don't like addressing the book or let alone have read it themselves, so often, when catching up with the lore or reading the wiki, you get a summary revolving around Tony investigating and Gregory being GGY, which leaves most of the other characters unmentioned.

WHICH IS A SHAME. Crystal and Kenzie are so interesting. I ADORE Finbarr's dynamic with Tony and how they immediately clicked! I really like Ms. Soto as a teacher and want to explore her teacher-student relationship with Tony! We even got a glimpse of the Principal of the school and the school librarian who Tony seems to help at the library a lot! Many just reduce Tony to “the investigator” or “the nerd friend” or sometimes “the one obsessed with Gregory” instead of the world building or his characterization!

So it really shouldn't be surprising that Ellis gets reduced to nothing, since he already has very little to begin with 😭

Also don't feel bad for ranting to me, I LOVE READING RANTS!

First...I WISH PEOPLE COULD DRAW ELLIS AND TONY TOGETHER. like I don't even see them drawn together and when I do it's by the same 3ish artists 😭 We know that they are best friends, we know the only reason Tony doesn't like Ellis is because Ellis is "immature" compared to Tony. BUT THAT CAN FADE!!! I used to hate my brother because he was immature and now I love him more than anything and we are closer than before.

I wish more people would actually read the books, I know they arent that good (that is an understatement...) but they are enjoyable to read!!! It's really easy to find audio versions on YouTube too! Thats how I "read" ggy without supporting Scott. ALSO CRYSTAL AND KENZIE MENTIONED I LOVE THEM 😭

Not a day goes by where I don’t think about them 😢AUGHHHH also I swear on my momma’s life I will draw C.C soon I just have zero design ideas for him😡
