And, mind you, this is during Boyfriend's high school years.
"Man, she’s so pretty and popular... I wish there was some way I could catch her attention. Hmm… Oh! I know! I’ve been meaning to try out my rapping skills for a while now. That’s sure to impress her! I just need to find the right opponent…"
—Boyfriend, "Tic-Tac-Foe"'s cutscene
Friday Night Funkin': Maginage Matches
is a Friday Night Funkin' Game Mod created by Fran B., where the new Week in question features three opponents, each with their own song.
Back in high school, Boyfriend (referred to as Boy) is wanting to impress Girlfriend (referred to as Girl), and figures that showing off his new rapping skills would be the way to do it. He figures that his opponent should be Tac, a Funny Cartoon Creature who he notes is the nicest guy here. After being asked by Boyfriend and being told about his desperate need to impress his crush, Tac happily accepts. After their rap battle through, Tac's friends - Lucian and Abby - come by. Quite some things ensue.
Song List (Sung By:)
- "Tic-Tac-Foe" (Tac)
- "Hit N Strike" (Lucian)
- "Acrimony" (Abby)
Maginage Matches provides examples of:
- Adaptational Backstory Change: In the canon lore of Friday Night Funkin', Boyfriend and Girlfriend knew each other when they were 19 years old and the former won the latter over his fingerboard tricks. Here, Boyfriend and Girlfriend know each other since at least their high school years.
- Adaptation Name Change: Boyfriend and Girlfriend are simply called "Boy" and "Girl", the implication being that the "friend" was added on once they started dating.
- Brick Joke: One of the mod's various Couch Gags is "Nick go to sleep — no shut the fuck up", with Nick being one of the mod's developers. In the mod's credits roll, under Nick's portrait is "No Sked I won't go to sleep".
- Call-Forward: Girlfriend and Carol discuss a new game that came out, Hating Simulator, and how Girlfriend recently bought it, alluding to Week 6 of the original game taking place inside it.
- The Cameo: Annie has a silent cameo, sitting at the same table as Carol and Girlfriend with her back to the camera.
- Creator Cameo: All of the mod team serve as other students and the crowd.
- Cartoon Creature: Zigzagged - while Tac, Abby and Lucian are based off actual animals (a mouse, cat, and dog, respectively), the three are heavily stylized and given traits said animals do not have in real life.
- Content Warning: The mod begins with a quick note that all characters in the mod are minors, to deter Rule 34 fanart of them.
- Disproportionate Retribution: After losing to Boyfriend in "Acrimony", Abby straight up punches him out of anger.
- Floating Limbs: Tac has no neck, and his head just floats above his body.
- Jerkass Has a Point: While Abby's way of avenging Lucian is unacceptable, she only did it because Boyfriend was insulting Lucian after he already lost.
- Nice Guy: Tac is mentioned by Boyfriend to be a pretty nice guy, and he's much nicer than Lucian or Abby. His song is also brighter and chiller compared to the Lucian and Abby's.
- Ornamental Weapon: Lucian carries a bat that he never uses in gameplay.
- Prequel: This mod serves as an interpretation of how Boyfriend and Girlfriend met each other, taking place in a high-school.
- Shows Damage: Partway through "Acrimony", Abby starts to become really pissed and breaks her microphone out of anger.
