PASSENGER OF RED

So now onto the Fred’s, this next part is basically me talking about what I think each Fred represents, and if it’s not cannon then it’s cannon in my au, in the order of face taker, wriggly Fred, scared Fred, tumor Fred, bright Fred, toxic Fred, god head Fred, Fred who bites, shadow Fred, and finally Fredric himself.

To make things clear I am a fan of the theory that each Fredric, including the faceless one that’s the ‘real one’ are just parts of what Fredric used to be, and is what each head-cannon/whats happening in my au is based off of, with each Fred representing an emotion or idea.

The Face Taker—I believe the face taker represents intrusive thoughts, or impulsiveness. There is an argument that he can represent malice but a good chunk of the Fred’s wanted each-other dead, and he didn’t outright attack Sam after he finished off the other paintings, even when he more then definitely had the opportunity, which is what causes me to believe and head cannon he just represents intrusive thoughts and impulsiveness, and wells nothing else quite fits in my opinion, and in my au that’s a large fuel for chaos but since they all can read each other’s thoughts they can keep him under control, it helps he’s in his smaller form most of the time.

Wriggly Fred—I think he represents confusion and naivety, mainly from his mannerisms and the way he speaks. More simple for him. In my au though, he doesn’t help at all with keeping things calm, aside from the face taker and especially toxic fred (shadow feed not included since he’s been kept in the dark room where the painting of the visitor was most of the time to keep him calm enough), he causes most of the chaos.

Scared Fred—he represents paranoia and fear, plain and simple. In my au hearing the thoughts of the others still makes it to where he doesn’t go out a lot still so he stays in the closet (that had been relocated to the main room), but as the others start calming down and wanting the others’ heads on sticks less, he’s gotten a bit of courage to actually leave the closet and socialize.

Tumor Fred—Either pain or sickness, could be either one, he’s also pretty simple for the headcannon. He was euthanized in my au. Mercy kill, that’s the one thing all the Freds could agree upon.

Bright Fred—in my head he pretty much just represents kindness and compassion, again, real simple. In my au he’s mostly the one trying to keep things in order but as seen in the video he will still end up freaking out if all the rest are freaking out since he can still hear the others’ thoughts.

Toxic Fred—I think he represents toxicity… kinda obvious there. In my au he is VERY easily rage baited, all Sam did was basically call him a coward for not attending the Fred’s’ therapy session.

God head fred-(I’m to lazy to do colors for him) I believe, as many others likely do to, that he represents Ego, but dare I say he also represents humility? I mean he was pretty clean when Sam calls him out, and doesn’t put up much of a fight. Anyways, in my au he one of the more laid back Freds in the group, mostly just smoking and listening to what the others have to say.

Fred who bites—I believe he represents self isolation and keeping others at a distance, mainly because getting close to him leads Sam to be bitten-even on accident-and is found in a more isolated location that Sam can easily pass by without interacting with him, and the fact he tells Sam to stay back and that he doesn’t want to bite him. Anyways in my au he’s mostly a bit off to the side from the others but is still present in conversation, he’s been doing better with controlling his bites, but when chaos starts he sometimes loses control.

Shadow Fred—I personally believe shadow Fred represents insecurity, manly because he screams at you to not look at him and is immediately aggressive and is found in the darkest room of the apartment. In my au basically everything’s the same with him except the others are trying to see if he’ll eventually calm down and the fact he gets to the main room every now and then and starts up chaos.

Fredric/faceless Fred—I believe he represents humanity, in a sense. And not humanity as in morals or things that that, I mean humanity as in being human. That’s not an emotion, sure, but he is closest to being human. I personally don’t think he is now the only one that’s the original (as I said before I believe all the Fred’s were the original, just split off parts of the mind), but he is the most human in my opinion. In my au he’s the one who actually leaves the apartment for trading whenever supplies run low (if they don’t get someone else to do it first), and like bright Fred he tries to keep the peace.

I'm not sure what exact skills Taxidermy had and how it changed, bc their sculptures were described differently and others are monsters. Tho I wanted to make it creepy and distorted when having 3 heads. And it seemed like an abomination of sewed pelts that don't have clear muscle/bones logic. And like it's not that volumetric because of these sewed furs, just stacked on each other and mixed, but when seeing it for the first time I thought it was like this (maybe this number of wires inside is enough for volume). I also was not sure about this human skin that fell off (?) on its second sprite, abt how it should be posed on the first one and if it really fell off and it wasn't just a starting shadowed part in a fight, when you don't see entities fully. Uh I'm thinking too much again maybe
