Vs. ImpostorWhat is the work?
Friday Night Funkin': Vs Impostor is a Friday Night Funkin' Game Mod created by ClowFoe, it serves as a crossover between Friday Night Funkin' and Among Us. It involves Boyfriend and Girlfriend being placed into Among Us as they try to survive and fight off the impostors that attempt to hunt them down.
Who is Black Impostor?
Black Impostor serves as the main antagonist of the mod. It is a parasitic entity that killed the original Black, using the body as a host afterward, killing anyone that it finds in it's path for it's own pleasure.
What did it do?
Before the events of the mod (as shown in the prologue to Week 6), Black would get Gray's parental figure thrown out then proceed to adopt the young Gray itself, raising it to become a homicidal maniac that craves for bloodlust just as much as it.
Skip forward to Week 3, where Black makes it's first appearance, punching Boyfriend from the airship and chasing him until they make their way to the Cargo Bay, where Black regroups with White (it's impostor partner) and along with White, attempt to kill Boyfriend. Eventually (after a banging five minute song), Black ditches White and teleports itself and Boyfriend into the dark red void of the Defeat screen, where Boyfriend visibly looks unnerved.
As the next song (promptly titled "Defeat") begins, Black's murderous intents show as the void flickers to life, revealing hundreds upon hundreds of carcasses, including several crewmates, lone bones, and even the bloodied, dismembered corpses of Boyfriend himself (indicating this is not the first time this song and dance has occurred), which leaves Boyfriend in a state of fear as the two continue their bloody duet. While it is unclear who wins this specific fight, Boyfriend ends up escaping either way.
Cut to two weeks later, Black has infiltrated another game that Boyfriend and Girlfriend happen to be in, this time with Gray. Black and Gray end up on a violent murder spree that leaves most of the crew, including Girlfriend, turned into violent corpses, much to the horror of the traumatized Boyfriend. Black then has Gray go up against Boyfriend, all while it watches.
By the end of the week, an unused cutscene implies Black and Gray blew up the airship with Boyfriend inside, thus giving him another defeat.
During the ending of Week 7, following a feel-good rap battle with Pink and Boyfriend. Black (and Gray, who was disguised for the whole match) would hop from a vent, before sabotaging the lights, as Black and Gray massacre nearly everyone in the room apart from Pink, leaving Gray to deal with her, the two having a battle.
Between "Pretender" and "Identity Crisis", Black would hire an shapeshifting assassin named Monotone to take out Boyfriend. When that fails, Black, at the end of it's rope, tells BF that they should have a rematch, before prompting them to a final fight to the death as Black takes it's final form, which after a few minutes, Black presumably wins as the defeat sound is heard, implying Boyfriend had been taken out.
Is he heinous enough?
Hell yes.
Most other impostors (such as Red, Green, White and Maroon) are cocky, arrogant jerks with several comedic moments sprinkled through and through. Gray, while being driven by bloodlust similarly to Black, is no competition to it in terms of kill count and the fact Gray was absolutely driven insane by Black, Monotone was also a bog standard villain with no kills.
Given that Black has the ability to murder other impostors, which it does, it evidently proves that it views other impostors as disposable. (While it can be headcanon'd White is a friend of Black, this hasn't been proven within the mod as they only are together for a singular song before White is ditched by Black)
Mitigating Factors?
Nope. The only comedic moment he has(punching Boyfriend in a Smash Bros like manner) is at the beginning of it's entrance, and is subverted by his future actions, as well as showing how violent it is.Verdict
I would give a solid yes to Black Impostor Man.Imaginary (2024)
What is the work?
Imaginary (not to be confused with other films coming out at the time) is a 2024 supernatural horror film directed by Jeff Wadlow. It is about a woman named Jessica who is forced to unexpectedly deal with her past (and the everlasting consequences of it) once her daughter, Alice, makes friends with a bear naming itself Chauncey.Who is the character? What did he do?
Chauncey the Bear is the main antagonist of the film. He is a part of a demonic species (aptly called Imaginary Friends) that tether to the young, but become malicious if it considers itself to be abandoned.Before the events of the film, he had attempted to lure a five-year old Jessica into the Never Ever, his home territory, to keep her forever. However, his plan is foiled by Ben, Jessica's father. However, while Jessica had escaped the Never Ever, Chauncey would cause Ben to go mentally insane by having Ben look into his eyes, showing Ben all the children he had ever tormented. This event would be somewhat wiped from Jessica's memory due to both trauma and the fact she was super young.
Years later, Jessica's stepdaughter, Alice, would encounter Chauncey in the basement after they had moved into Jessica's childhood home, and she quickly grows attached to him. While it is innocent at first, Jess eventually grows weary of Chauncey's ever-growing presence in Alice's life.
Alice would begin to become focused on a scavenger hunt set up by Chauncey. Which, once again, while starting off innocent, eventually grows darker and darker, accumulating to Alice almost impaling herself with a nail (which Chauncey had disguised as a sunflower), only to be saved by Jessica. During this hunt as well, Chauncey would toy with Liam, a boy Taylor (Alice's sister) had over, and after revealing its demonic form to him, Liam becomes terrified of Chauncey and Jessica's family altogether (later shown when he shuts the blinds on Taylor, who simply looked up at him)
The event prompts Jessica to call a child psychiatrist, Dr. Sotos, who in turn convinces Alice to confront Chauncey about the nail. Once she does, however, Chauncey suddenly becomes aggressive, threatening her as well as telling her that nobody loves her apart from him. Alice, in tears, cuts off their friendship, which pisses off Chauncey.
Dr. Sotos, concerned, talks to Jessica and it is there that it is revealed that only Jessica and Alice can see the bear. After being shown past footage of a patient, Jessica realizes she had also seen the Never Ever. Meanwhile, Alice apologies to Chauncey for their fight, which allows Chauncey to have Alice gather the pieces as they build the door to the Never Ever, allowing Chauncey to successfully take her away.
As Jessica begins to connect the pieces, Gloria, Jessica's old babysitter, reveals to Taylor that Jessica herself had Chauncey as a friend when she was really young, but Chauncey grew furious once he had considered himself to be abandoned.
Jessica, Taylor and Gloria meet up and eventually do the scavenger hunt on their own, ending up in the Never Ever. After looking into a veil causing Jessica to see what had actually happened to her father, Gloria suddenly shuts the way out, revealing that she had become obsessed with the Never Ever due to Chauncey (now known as The Entity). Immediately afterward, Chauncey pulls Gloria through a door and mauls her to death, revealing herself to simply have been bait.
During Jessica and Taylor's journey through the Never Ever, Taylor is almost murdered (with Chauncey taking the form of a demented Alice) but is saved by Jessica. Eventually, the two find Alice in a fake version of her life created by Chauncey, himself having taken the form of Jessica and Taylor's mentally ill mother. Jessica gains an idea on how to use imagination against Chauncey, building a false blue door, along with Taylor. Chauncey (still in mom form) attempts to convince Alice to not join in, but once she does, Chauncey attempts to attack the group, but is pushed back into the gifts by Jessica.
Chauncey, now in monstrous bear form, rises from the gifts and lets out a furious roar. Taylor and Alice escape into the real world as Jessica confronts Chauncey. Chauncey is about to kill her but is stabbed in the eye with a pair of scissors. Jessica ends up falling back into the Never Ever, breaking her leg in the process. Jessica ends up getting back to the "door" and, after being almost murdered, escapes into the "real world."
However, shortly after while visiting Ben, Jessica realizes that she is still trapped in the Never Ever and that Alice was merely bait for Chauncey to claim his true prize: Jessica. In that moment, Chauncey begins talking through the bodies of Jessica's family members, telling her to stay with him, and if she doesn't, then he'll keep going for her family members to lure her back. Terrified, Jessica agrees, but ends up being saved by the real Taylor.
Jessica and Taylor run back through the Never Ever, finding the real door back home. Chauncey, however, turns into its true form, Simon the Spider and attempts to kill them one last time. Jessica, Taylor and Alice begin to cover up the door, but Chauncey, using it's last resort, attempts to make Jessica go insane the same way as her father: Showing her the combined imaginations of the children he had tormented. Before he fully makes her go insane, Alice lights the stuffed bear, and in turn, The Entity, on fire, causing it to shriek and go back into the Never Ever. The group escape the burning house.
In an epilogue scene, Jessica (now with a crutch), Taylor and Alice go into a hotel. However, it's revealed that Chauncey had undertaken the name "Rufus" and had attached itself to another little boy using the exact same bear. Jessica, Taylor, and Alice, seeing this, decides to go to another hotel. The little boy repeats Alice's words to his mother ("He's not imaginary"), but his mother dismisses him, allowing the cycle to presumably continue.
Mitigating Factors?
There are a few I'd like to talk about.The main factor that could be mitigating is the fact that the whole movie essentially starts because Chauncey considers Jessica to have abandoned him and holds a grudge against her for that, thus it could be considered a tragedy prevention. While this is a very reasonable factor, I don't think it holds up in the long run once his actions are really considered and put to thought. He harms Jessica herself, her family, and even attempts to harm Liam, who had no connections to Jessica or her family at all and had no interference with Chauncey's plan other than being a jerk at most. On top of that, it isn't shown or even implied Chauncey still has genuine care for Jessica in the movie by this point, it is more likely he only wanted keep her in the Never Ever due to his own spite.
Another factor could be that Chauncey is shown to be friendly with Alice, even cradling with her at one point. However, this is most definitely for pragmatic reasons as in the climax of the movie, Jessica correctly concludes that Alice was simply bait for Chauncey to lure her back, to which Chauncey bluntly confirms. Therefore, Chauncey had really only been Alice's friend just to gain her trust.
