It’s from fnaf? Don’t tell me you never knew about fnaf?

It’s basically the main mechanic for the animatronics in those games. Springs that can lock to allow a person to pilot the animatronic. A springlock happens when those locks… y’know, don’t work. I’ll let you imagine the rest.

I was making a joke about how that might actually happen if someone tried making pilotable animal mechs lol.

Omgg I see now

And yeah I mean I’ve heard of fnaf but I’m quite ignorant about the lore behind it. I didn’t know about springlock but holy shit what a nightmare situation to be in.

But at least the animal mechs I was thinking of are like as big as a home, yknow what I mean? So that a person can just pilot can just live in the mech…how cool would that be? And if you get springlocked, at least it won’t be in super tight human-sized sentient(?) suits.

I mean, that has been an interest of people ever since ancient times. The trojan horse rings a bell, haha. Maybe not as futuristic as an actual mech.

Some sort of moving home on legs sounds really cool. A lot of movies and games put whole towns on moving fields

RIGHT??

Howl's moving castle was centered about a moving magic home too. I just love the concept so much!! Its very fairy tale-esque to me and that's just so cute!!
