#anyway. fiona and edwin being represented by sun and moon

[tagidearte]

I know they're not THE Sun and Moon from SB... But let me tell you, Sun x Moon being canon in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic was not on my bingo. I'm still not over that.

sotm spoilers !!!

chat what the fuck does this mean

*i mean ik what it means in relation to the mimic and fiona and david etc. but what does it mean for my dca boys....

We know fallfest burned down and og Fiona died there, and most parts of the Moon.exe game use Sun as a representative figure for Fiona and aren't actually about Sun as a character himself.

like, I get that the "this is where the Sun left, leaving them behind" line when handing over a fallfest ticket is very clearly about Fiona and not actually Sun, but i wonder if the reason they chose Sun to represent her was because he too was destroyed there, and that thats supposed to signify a parallel of Edwin losing Fiona/Moon losing Sun?

we know from help wanted that the dca was at fall fest, and this bit about rebuilding Moon as split/plural, specifically highlighting that he's only now like that after being rebuilt, makes me wonder if that was a decision made after Sun was destroyed in the fallfest incident?

(disregarding that the fallfest minigame dca appears in is in fact Moon fronting while everything is on fire, meaning that if they were separate then they were both there- or if they were combined then their being rebuilt as one happened before fallfest, and doesnt quite fit with the "oh they used Sun to represent Fiona because they both died there and left their other halves behind" theory. idkkkk how to fit these two game lores together </3. also dont know how canon help wanted is supposed to be) i feel like this choice in storytelling is very deliberate and significant somehow, but it very well could be "lets add sun/moon in somewhere because the fans are crazy about them" without deeper lore implications. (*as of writing this op has not looked at the new help wanted update they heard rumors about dropping this month)

EDIT

someone pointed out that while sun and moon represent fiona/edwin, and the baby owl as david, and we the player character put on the owl(david) mask to make moon(edwin) cry- we're supposed to be playing as the mimic in moon.exe

and after fixing the more modern-Moon statue, helpy refers to it as us, saying we fixed ourselves, (nod to the mimic fixing its legs?) but also implying we, as the mimic, are now both sun and moon.

Because the mimic is mimicking both the late Fiona and Edwin now, and learned positive and negative traits from the both of them.

as far as the real Sun and Moon that we know in sb, i'm not sure if this is all just metaphorical and they're being used to showcase parallels or simply tell a story (they are made for theater after all, storytelling is their thing)-

or, if taken a tad more literally, if its trying to hint that they're a mimic. (but not the mimic, as that one is locked beneath the plex for Ruin. But we know there were other attempts at trying to make more?)

anyways idk how literal we can take Moon.exe in regards to dca-specific lore, since the pair's involvement is very much just used as stand-ins to represent other characters. but by god am i desperate for crumbs with these two

SOTM DCA theory rant

Spoilers ahead!!

So we know we get apperences and references to the Daycare attendants origins, we find the original sun/moon tragedy masks going to the theatre, peepaw moon, the moon.exe, Sun as Fiona. but that begs the question…

Who made the DCA?

In security breach we see them less taken care of (very dirty compared to any animatronic in the game) they are anxiety ridden (sun), and originally theatre bots put in daycare. And with obvious exposed sensitive wiring, and in Ruin we see a Fazrench port on the back of their head that operates much like the Data Diver we see in Ruin.

I was previously assuming DCA fully existed during SOTM due to their older looking design  (that has a Data Diver port unlike any other animatronic and no Roxy doesn’t count because her mask is part of a casing with the same endo as everyone else) but that’s the thing, the DCA is one of a kind because there’s no other endo for them, if they break, they are gone for good because we know no one would take of them or otherwise no one is left to take care of them.

Now I think it was Fiona’s love creation. If Edwin’s project was the Mimic, Fiona’s was the Daycare Attendant. She made him out of love, not as someone to take care of David but to be his friend. We hear Sun say “new friend”, “friend” in the games. Even so, he was made to entertain and play games with little kids. 

We see Fiona’s hand at creation, she made the OG Chica and everyone loved her. I like to say maybe she tried her hand at Robotics to make something for David. The DCA mentions of Gregory wanted to do a puppet show, Fiona was a Puppetier. Her design is very childlike and friendly (Ik SB DCA is a little creepy but isn’t everything else in that warehouse) 

Maybe both Edwin and Fiona made the Storytime showroom for David, but closed down for either timing of deaths, or the damage that happened in there, but maybe it was a secret love project for David in their own way. They both loved to create. 

And we see that the Mimic was made to BE other characters when in other costumes. DCA is taught how to ACT not mimic while being themselves. 

How did Sun and Moon become separate ais? Just like in Moon.exe it’s two half’s becoming whole at the end, becoming Eclipse. One represents Edwin in their story and the other Fiona. 

I don’t think that specificity reflects them as a personality in DCA but we see characteristics of themselves put into this animatronic. 

I like to think Fiona created this as a surprise in the background for both David and Edwin. Maybe testing them at Fall Fest if we assume they were made and created at that time (help wanted 2 carousel) ALSO how do you not expect me to not assume DCA wasn’t created at that era if you put FALL FEST and DCA together where Fiona DIED at?

Anyways- those are my rambles

edit: I forgot to add a bit where the giant moon we seen fallen from the storytime showroom through the theatre and down to the moon maze to get David’s ball, it implies the giant moon was hanging. DCA has a little retractable hook to hang from the ceiling when he pleases (I don’t think we talk about that enough, no other animatronic has a unique ability like that to FLY) and not only that it’s an addition to their design. The hook part was always intended for them, it was fazbear that implemented it and used that aspect of them
