#basically a Mike redesign/rewrite

Mike, but “Mike” as in, openly utilizes his DID for comedian tactics (as well as a coping mechanism), and has absolutely zero problems with it! 👍🏾

The Freddy & Friends Askbox is now open!

——————————————

An introduction to Freddy & Friends:

Freddy & Friends is an AU created by Roux36 Productions set in the Five Nights at Freddy’s IP.

As opposed to focusing on a single “what if?” question for the AU, F&F is a rewrite of the FNAF story in its entirety, constructed from the ground-up to tell a more realistic, character-driven take on the original story.

——————————————

What asks will I answer? (Examples provided)

Lore (Ex: How do the spirits work?)

World-Building (Ex: Who made the pizza recipes at Freddy’s)

Headcanons (Ex: Who’s Jeremy’s favorite music artist?)

Art requests? (Not sure about this one yet… but maybe?)

Character Asks!

Ask a question from within the Freddy & Friends universe, and it’ll be answered by the creator of the Fazbear Franchise, HENRY ███!!!

(Preface by saying “Dear Henry,”)

How much thought did you put into this?

It’s not that I’m a massive nerd, but it’s just that I’m actually a massive nerd.

Animatronics are loosely grounded in real-world mechanical engineering, giving them plausible designs for them to have existed in the 1980’s (down to the very components that make them function.)

The restaurant itself has regulations and procedures to manage the animatronics during the day (this varies depending on the restaurant).

The restaurant layouts themselves have been redesigned to be more coherent with the rules of architecture.

The animatronic characters themselves have their own lore and personalities within the cartoon world.

I have a full list of employees who worked at both Afton Robotics and Fazbear Entertainment.

The rules of the spirits are grounded in real-world cultural beliefs, as well as typical ghost hunting traditions.

No character is written to be two-dimensional. The characters don’t just do stuff for the plot; they do them because it’s in-character for them to do so. They’re not just ghost children haunting the animatronics. They’re also human.

What IS canon?

Basic media taken into consideration:

Five Nights at Freddy’s

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2

Five Nights at Freddy’s 3

Five Nights at Freddy’s 4

Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Silver Eyes

FNAF World (Surprisingly)

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location

Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Movie

Details Only taken from:

Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach

The ideas of these media are the content detrimental to the story of Freddy & Friends. However, the story of them has been changed so drastically that canon knowledge is considered unreliable when talking about the Freddy & Friends AU. Some things remain the same, but it’s recommended that knowledge of canon game/book/movie events NOT be used as a reference unless I have stated otherwise.

What’s the same?:

Mike Schmidt and Abby Schmidt’s character have remained almost exactly the same as in the movie. (Movie)

Michael Brooks is Golden Freddy (Novels)

Elizabeth Afton being killed by Circus Baby (Games)

The Bite of ‘83 (Games)

The Bite of ‘87 (Games)

Bonnie is blue

What’s changed?:

Note: not all changes will be mentioned here, due to spoilers. The reason they’re spoilers is because I will elaborate on them in future media and short stories.

Michael Afton does NOT exist—replaced by Fritz Afton

FNAF 4 Crying Child becomes the Puppet

FNAF 4 Bullies are the Missing Children

FNAF 4 Bullies are NOT bullies

The haunted animatronics have personalities, and are capable of verbal speech.

Sammy (Charlie’s twin brother) was killed instead of Charlie

Charlie is NOT an android

Very few employees (including night guards) actually died at Freddy’s

The animatronics are limited by the technology of the 1980’s, and therefore have software limitations that aren’t present in the games

Circus Baby’s Pizza World has been renamed to Circus Kingdom Pizza World

The names of the Funtimes have been changed to align with the re-theme

The Funtimes were NOT built with the intention of kidnapping children

The Funtimes are haunted

The Scooper does not exist

The FNAF 4 gameplay is a dream, and not child experimentation. (It is something more than that, but I will not elaborate further, due to spoilers. ;))

The Toy animatronics have been renamed to the Junior animatronics

The Junior location is Freddy Jr’s Pizzeria

The individual Junior characters have in-universe names beyond “Junior Freddy” and “Junior Bonnie”, etc.

The Juniors are haunted

There is no such thing as “Remnant”.

Vanessa Shelly is NOT William Afton’s Daughter

Steve Raglan and William Afton are two different people

Removed Herobrine

(Aforementioned name changes):

Circus Baby - Circus Sadie, AKA Sadie the Circus Princess

Funtime Freddy - Freddie the Ringmaster

Funtime Foxy - Foxy the Flying Fox

Toy Freddy - Freddy Fazbear Jr.

Toy Bonnie - Riley Rabbit

Toy Chica - Penny Pecks

Toy Foxy/Mangle - Bridget the Fox

Thank you!

If you made it to the end, I wanna thank you for showing interest in this AU! I’ve been working on it ever since I was 11 years old, and I’ve just turned 20. It's been a long road with at least five rewrites and twice as many redesigns!

More Freddy & Friends content will be coming soon, in the form of:

A webcomic for the main narrative

Cinematic content

A VHS series

Short stories

Audiobooks for said short stories

A website to be!

The askbox is now open! There is much to tell, so ask away!

[feelsl1kemagic]

Feels Like Magic: Winx Rewrite World Info Part 2.

Next up for world lore! Names!

The reason a lot of magicals have names that coincide with their powers is because parents name their children after something they hope they get the magic for. It's basically a way of asking Magic itself to bless your child with magic of their own.

It's a tradition that has gone on and on through the beginning of times on Flaemterna.

There are parents who give their children ordinary names as they don't mind if their child gets magic or not. If they do, wonderful, if they don't, that's fine too! There are many things those with magic can do.

Another thing about names is middle names. Back in the Ancient and Medieval Magical Times, those with any kind of noble blood had middle names, and it was tradition that any child they had also got middle names. It was done to show others that you were worthy of being gifted magic twice because you had two names and two times the chance of Magic blessing you and your children.

This practice fell out in the more modern times, and it became a trend of anyone and everyone getting to have middle names no matter if they were or are of noble blood.

You may have noticed that some of the girls have middle names so I'll explain whether this was done because of blood or because of trend.

• Bloom, of course, has a middle name because she is a High Princess. She actually has two! Because Mike and Vanessa didn't want to change her name, but they wanted to at least give her a name they picked. Thus, she was given the middle name Allison by Mike and Vanessa. Many of the older generations think this helped play a part in why she is so powerful. If you missed it in the redesigns, here is her full name: Bloom Allison Charlotte Gardner-Feniatare.

•Stella, is another with a middle name because of her royal blood as a High Princess herself. Her full name is Stella Celeste Solevega, and when her parents divorced, she hyphenated her last name to Stella Celeste Solevega-Aylandra.

•Flora has a middle name, even though her family hasn't been part of the nobility for a long time. Some of her ancestors were Dukes and Duchesses, but her family renounced their nobility so that their children and children's children could choose whatever occupation they wanted without it looking disgraceful for someone of their position. Even though her family is no longer nobility, they still get respect from other nobles because they weren't disgraced or anything like that. Many admired the "sacrifce". I'll make another post purely about each girl's family history, but this is a bit of it. Flora's full name is Flora Carmen Thorngrove.

•Musa, she does not have a middle name, though she is nobility, but because her dad ran away to marry her mother, her father was disowned though it was he who gave away his claim to the throne. To show he was no longer nobility, Ho-Boe took out his middle name from his name and refused to give Musa one. So her full name is Musa Lu-Maestri.

•Tecna, though in the comics and show she is a princess, she is not in my rewrite. She is a normal citizen of Zenith who ends up bringing her family into a position of nobility because of her having magic despite her having an artificial heart. Others who had needed artificial hearts ended up not having magic, but Tecna was an abnormality. It fascinated the High Kingdom Royalty to the point that she and her family were given higher positions in the kingdom. Even though she is mow considered nobility, she still does not have a middle name since her parents didn't think it was necessary. So her full name is Tecna Synthwave.

For this post, I'm only doing season one characters I have already done redesigns for. So next is the Trix.

•Icy, she actually does have noble blood in her, but her family ended up losing their titles in disgrace. She doesn't know why as it's a secret her family has held on to for decades. Though they are disgraced, she was still given a middle name. Her full name is Icelyn Eira Bélaboreas.

•Darcy, she is low nobility. Her family has only ever been Lords and Ladies, though they did desire to become more. It just never happened. Her full name is Darcelle Belladonna Blackwell.

•Stormy is not nobility, but she does have a nickname as her family jumped on the trend. Her full name is Stormella Corentine Burzyński.

The Freddy & Friends: Legacy ask box is now open!

——————————————

An introduction to Freddy & Friends: Legacy

Freddy & Friends is an AU created by Roux36 Productions set in the Five Nights at Freddy’s IP.

As opposed to focusing on a single “what if?” question for the AU, F&F is a rewrite of the FNAF story in its entirety, constructed from the ground-up to tell a more realistic, character-driven take on the original story, initially intended to be an animated series.

This version of the AU is no longer being worked on. The current version of the AU is called "In Loving Memory", a Five Nights at Freddy's analog horror series with a vastly different story.

What asks will I answer? (Examples provided)

Lore (Ex: How do the spirits work?)

World-Building (Ex: Who made the pizza recipes at Freddy’s)
