What is your question?
Takes a little while for engine to heat up but when it does it steadily climbs until almost getting to the red before it drops to the 3/4 to 1/2 mark then starts heating up again to drop down again to same spot and repeats. The heater has stopped functioning properly also when this started. Only blows hot air occasionally on any settings.

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR THERMOSTAT IS STUCK ALSO THESE CARS HAVE HIGH HEAD GASKET FAILURE SO DON'T KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL YOU REPAIR
Agree with Global helper,thermostat may be failing, water pump seldom fails without leaking, radiator may be partially restricted, the viscous fan hub may be bad (definitely check that) also have a chemical test call a block test done, cheap quick test to see if the head gasket is leaking!
