Natale's Tumblr

Hi everyone. Some of you might not know, but today August 10 at 7:34 am , a 7.4 Earthquake hit Colombia.

To my knowledge, the more affected areas have been Chocó and Pereira, but I guess we'll know more as more time passes

These are some of the donstion links that I've managed to find.

And ciricearts on twitter has a thread with emergency numbers, missing persons, missing pets and anything that other colombians can add as it goes.

00:11:40. When Simon notices the proximity and direction wheel warning. The reflection is on his left eye, with just the face format indicating the right eye, it doesn't really appear here. Before THIS, the scene was showing Simon's left eye moving around wildly, observing, searching.

Edit: @212thghost pointed out this moment at 00:19:46 (I hope I got the right moment! If not, just say and I'll keep searching 🧐), as Simon is confronting Ava about being sent down again. He's exactly saying "there's something alive". You need to open the screenshot and zoom in, but on his left eye, there's a brief glint of red being reflected from the blood, making his eye seem red for a brief moment. While both of his eyes are shadowed, the fact that his left eye is the one that glimmers red, only at this moment... Oh, this is a very interesting choice

00:43:06. This one is a bit hard to pinpoint, with the the eyebrows to the right and a faint wrinkle on the down of the picture, and how Simon gets up, this seems to be his right eye.

00:44:02. This is just as Simon got up and took a picture to be able to look around. Considering the format, it looks like left eye too.

00:52:55, as the Porthole shielding is closing. Again left eye.

And 01:23:13. This as Simon looks upon the Light picture. The reflection is clear on the right eye, but, unlike the previous one, we have the left eye blurry, including the reflection of the Light.

I remember how people have spoken about Right vs Left side in Iron Lung, including left being associated to misticism and mystery. This doesn't fit exactly in these choises of which eye shows which: the Light is a mystery, after all.

What I think is that, when something is shown on Simon's left eye, these are things *Simon sees as a threat or danger*: the proximity sensor warns of something too close, the porthole shielding closing is about something that could have killed him, the camera picture reflected on his eye was sudden enough that it felt like a danger to his sight.

On the other hand, if shown on his right eye, then it's probably something that Simon doesn't see as a threat or danger. The camera button light, for example, Simon was just waking up, he was neutral to it. And the Light... He was mostly confused about it. And in this shot, we end up seeing an infling of the other eye, instead of focusing fully on the right one. To show Simon is... Worried, at least?

And as an extra, 01:51:50. This is as Simon's left eye goes red, as he screams at the Eel "do you want to eat me?!". He's fully seeing the Eel as a danger he needs to deal with (Also, the eye *remains red* for the rest of the movie)

There are other shots focused on Simon's eyes, but not in the pattern of "reflecting something", at least from what I remember: just a bit before his left eye goes red, and before he uses the fire extinguisher on the radio. In these, it's very clear that the intention is to show Simon's breaking point of anger.

I may have missed some shot that will throw a wrench into this, but as of now, that's what it looks like to me lol

Edit: not me lying down to sleep and remembering one of the things we hear in the voice of Simon's mom in the voice flashback when he's going back to the SM8:

"Simon. It's a trap. It's right behind you. It's still there. On your left."

A trap. ON YOUR LEFT.

Now, I know like... Me and mostly everyone assumes these lines are probably not exactly flashbacks but something-else using her voice to warn Simon.

But. BUT. With this possible pattern of close shots of reflections on Simon's eyes... what if these lines are from an actual memory of Simon about his mom? His mom gave him a knife after all. The Eel taunts him with words about if she would be proud of the killer she spawned or not.

Her warning Simon of when humans make traps for another, teaching him to recognize and deal with them... Could very well be part of it.

Happy late 12th anniversary for FNAF

I finally figured out how to draw Simon's face and I'm so happy about it (I also really loved drawing these fish :3)

a million times this. “I don’t like these xyz fics” then don’t read them. THEY ARE NOT FOR YOU!!!!!!! no one forces you to read anything you don’t want to read. no one forces you to consume art you don’t enjoy. it’s so easy to click that mute or block button. instead of insulting fanfics or fan art for not fitting your personal liking, either choose something that does fit your personal liking, or write the fic you want to read yourself / draw the art you want to consume yourself.

this and also the only difference between fanfic writers and writers who sell their own original works as careers is that fanfics aren’t monetized. that’s all.

being a “professional” writer doesn’t mean your works are inherently better than fanfics. I’ve read so many fics that are more professionally written than some published books.
