Vincent Taylor [FNAF, Renegade AU]

Trigger warnings for the written stuff: this character's backstory mentions abuse, suicide, blood, injury, and death. This fictional man was raised as an assassin since he could walk: he's seen some shit.

Vincent never really had a choice in where his life would lead. Aside from some small acts of rebellion, it was only near and beyond the end when he was finally able to make his own choices.

Vincent and his fraternal twin sister, Violet, were the children of Victor and Victoria Taylor, a scientist and an assassin who worked alongside William, trying to find immortality, long before animatronics and diners were even sparks in William or Henry's minds.

He didn't get a proper childhood. His was a barrage of training exercises and deadly obstacle courses that always left him injured. He spent a lot of time in the medical bay. The only breaks were from his parents teaching him high level academics across many fields. His skin was stained purple when he was seven as a part of his father's prodigy identification programme, shortened to PIP. Vincent and his sister were patient zero to see how the dyes took, and Victor was ecstatic upon realising that the staining was permanent.

By age eight, the twins were scientific, mathematical, and literary savants, but they lacked social skills, so their parents sent them to school so they'd learn how to blend in with the world. Between training in the labs and school, Vincent remembered somewhere that felt like a home. Somewhere they would all stay for a while whilst his parents had dishevelled looking 'guests' over who would always soon vanish.

At age nine, his mother started teaching him how to fight. By sixteen, he was a fully trained hitman, and at seventeen his parents found a place in William's plans for him and his sister and had two high rank execs pick them up. The twins didn't recognise their new bosses.

After the lady removed Violet and herself from the car, the engine of a car on the other side of Fredbear's backfired. Vincent mistook this for a gunshot. Then he was given his first mission: kill the child that had been left outside of Fredbear's. If he declined, the man would kill the target, then kill Vincent.

He didn't have a choice.

After this first mission, he received a full-time job: he would be working as the Head of Security at Fredbear's, under the man who gave him his first mission: the accountant of the diner's founding troupe.

When the graphic designer of the diner's founding troupe, Carla, turned up dead, Vincent was tasked with obscuring the cause of death. He injected the body with sedatives, which was somehow enough to make her death look like a suicide.

That year, he met Noire, a girl his own age who was charmed by his odd demeanour, and they began to engage in what she called 'dating'. Vincent figured that this would help him learn how to blend in better, and as a bonus, she was a good friend. Even if Vincent knew how to have boundaries, he wouldn't have bothered to set any. As a result, he was barely twenty when he found out that he was going to be a father.

Life seemed normal for a while. He was able to spend time with Noire and his kids, and he grew close to two of his colleagues, Ina and Philip.

A year after the diner upscaled to a new site, he received his next mission. He hated it. He had to get Ina and Philip springlocked. He had to kill the two colleagues that he had grown close to. When he asked his boss why? Why them? His answer came in the form of being dragged to one of the open costumes, and being tossed up against it.

Had his reactions been slower, he may have lost his life right then and there. He was lucky that only his upper arm got caught in the snap, and that this suit was defective. Otherwise, he would have lost his arm.

But he got the point: the accountant gave orders, and Vincent was to follow them without question.

A cup of water on stage was all it took. Vincent didn't know what hurt more: the fact that Philip and Ina were dead, or the fact that their teenaged kids saw it happen. After Krasnyy, Philip's son, was immediately hired as Philip's replacement, Vincent knew that the answer to his question was the latter.

When the kid had to perform in the Fredbear costume after the usual guy fell ill, he noticed the kid having a panic attack, so instructed him to get out of the costume ASAP. As the show was wrapping up, Vincent saw staff trying to discreetly get to the safe room, but they didn't have a key.

He gunned it to the safe room and unlocked the door.

The kid was slumped over the spring Freddy torso, his arm trapped inside. A trail of blood showed that he had dragged himself to the phone to call for help. Vincent tossed off his own costume and found himself freeing Krasnyy's arm by opening the suit with his bare hands: something only Ina had done before.

Imagine putting a pool noodle in a spring lock suit torso and setting off the locks… It was a miracle that the kid hadn't died. This gave Vincent the harrowing realisation that himself and Krasnyy had been possessed by Ina and Philip - Shadow Bonnie and Shadow Freddy.

It was less than a week before Vincent saw the kid again, who had been "promoted" to head of training for security: the kid would help train new staff, and wouldn't have to perform anymore.

Vincent needed all the help he could get.

Felix and Gerald had begun to act unlike themselves: Felix was getting snappier and Gerald begun to have crying fits. The behaviour seemed coerced; his boss was trying to manipulate his sons to act like Michael and David Afton.

Location Zero underwent a Missing Children Incident, yet no orders came from the top to re-create it; Vincent knew why: the location designation of C stood for Copycat. A Big Bite had to happen before an MCI could occur. Vincent hoped to delay it for as long as possible.

Even as a new physical Freddy's location was prepared and new animatronics were added to the show lineup, Vincent was able to stave off the bite, making Location C the last Fredbear and Friends. But it wasn't enough.

Vincent remembered trying to comfort Felix before receiving a sharp blow to the back of the head from a falling toolbox. It almost killed him. From how Felix acted after, Vincent knew that this had been done to send a message.

The remaining strings of kindness between Felix and Gerald snapped. He anticipated the Big Bite, so wasn't surprised when Gerald got lobotomised by Fredbear. He anticipated Fredbear and Friends shutting shop and everything being moved to the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza building, so he already had the logistics under control, reducing the opening ETA from two weeks to two days. He dreaded each subsequent day.

Celes had been one of Gerald's bullies, so Camilla - a Faz Ent scientist - hoped to make amends by taking charge of Gerald's recovery. Gerald woke up after only two weeks; Vincent didn't question her methods.

Gerald, Felix, Celes, Roy, and Ferdinand became friends again once they realised what had been happening to them for the past few years. They weren't sure what their real personalities were, but they told eacho ther they'd find out together.

That's what made it hurt even more when direct orders came from William himself to eliminate the five involved in location C's big bite. Vincent had a week to prepare the copycat killing. Camilla had a week to say goodbye to her youngest daughter.

Vincent did everything he could to make sure his kids were happy; he even skived off work to take them wherever they wanted to go. Running away would spell the death of two strangers in their place and condemn his whole family to live on the run.

It was the lesser of two evils.

It wasn't the use of a mascot suit that let him gain the trust of Gerald, Felix, Celes, Roy, and Ferdinand. It was because they knew him.

Ina created Vincent's alibi: being a ghost, she could take Vincent's form, making people think that he was still in the dining area.

The plan fell apart when Krasnyy walked in on the crime scene, video camera in hand. Realising this, Ina teleported to the safe room, appearing in her Shadow Bonnie form, shorting the camera, and chasing Krasnyy out of the building.

Everyone saw the black rabbit.

In the ensuing chaos, Vincent changed out of the costume, closed up the safe room, and returned to the dining area without anyone noticing that he had vanished.

Nothing conclusive came of the investigation: Krasnyy physically couldn't speak about what he saw without breaking down, the camera footage was unusable, and the bodies were hidden in the animatronics. Everyone had an alibi. No arrests could be made.

The animatronics here were now possessed, just like the rest of them.

This location soon closed, and all New Freddy Fazbear's Pizza's were due to open on the same day in early November, but the day before that opening day, an order came from the top: enough ghosts to possess all Toy animatronics in order to invalidate their facial recognition systems. Immediately.

The security guard was a rookie detective, and Krasnyy was training her, so he had to knock them out and hide them in the vent access cupboard: the concealed one-way door would give him enough time before the duo of possible witnesses could escape. Then he lured in five kids with promise of exclusive tours of the restaurant.

Vincent hated how well it worked, but he had no choice.

The next guard - Fritz Smith - was a mechanical engineer, keen on investigating the animatronics odd behaviour. When Fritz was caught snooping, Vincent was only just able to convince his boss to not kill him.

The next guard - Jeremy Fitzgerald - was a fledgling PI, but he didn't seem to be investigating anything. The day before his sixth night, the bodies were found, sending the entire building into lockdown with patrons still inside. Jeremy had been able to get inside for his shift. Patrons bunkered down in the office and used the masks from the prize counter to survive.

Vincent bunkered down alone.

When night turned to day, the ghosts truly begun to attack.

Vincent received another mission: whilst wearing the springlock suit, eliminate the rogue guard Krasnyy Guy, missing technician 1 Oliver Rocha, and missing technician 2 Morgan Smith.

Krasnyy was being protected by an aggressive girl who had been marked by the PIP programme. He backed off and pretended that it was her circular saw that scared him.

Oliver was smart. He would have set off the springlocks if Vincent didn't back off.

There was no Morgan Smith. His boss had to be mistaken; the teenaged Mike Schmidt may have matched the physical description, but the voice was wrong.

He was shocked when his boss told him that the planned punishment for failure had already happened: his hand had been springlocked. He was given an alibi of being unconscious due to an attack from Endo-2.

As the local police got the building open from the outside, Vincent shed the Spring Bonnie costume. He hoped that his mangled hand would link him to his crimes, but the suit was already gone. The case went cold.

The toys were scrapped, everything was moved back to the previous location, and the next few years were spent guarding the closed location, with the only staff being himself, the boss, Krasnyy, and Jeremy.

In 1993, Fritz and the pink haired girl were hired as technicians. The duo managed to fix the place up, and Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria re-opened.

Everything was fine for a while. Then a guard found the body pit. His boss gave the guard an ultimatum of he dies or his sister dies, and the boy had chosen death. It was clear that Fazbear Entertainment was getting desperate to keep everything under wraps, especially with most locations being set to close by the year's end.

Krasnyy was then put on the night shift. Most locations put the guard who was in charge of training - dubbed Phone Guys due to delivering training via voicemail - on the night shift. This subset of employees was the most knowledgeable about Faz Ent's crimes.

Krasnyy was 'surviving too well', so Vincent was ordered to kill him. Krasnyy was still a kid in Vincent's eyes, but as much as it hurt, if he didn't do it, his boss or Dimitri would.

Vincent didn't expect Krasnyy to fight. Let alone win. Despite sustaining heavy injuries, including a deep gash down the side of his neck, Krasnyy and Philip had managed to drain Vincent and Ina of their combined energy before fleeing to the safe room. The safe room here had never actually been sealed: it had been concealed. Getting in and out was impossible without the right tools though.

Vincent cleaned up the evidence: the kid had earned a second chance. 90 days to escape: after that, his boss would check the restaurant to see if Krasnyy had hidden in one of the many hidden rooms. As the 90 day mark grew closer, Vincent witnessed one of Krasnyy's friends - Mike Schmidt - take the night shift, and not only survive six nights, but bring in a large suitcase on the 7th, which was also the final day before his boss would search the restaurant for the MIA Phone Guy.

Despite Vincent being ordered to sabotage the animatronics to make them more aggressive, Mike survived, but he was injured and smelled awful. Vincent could tell that Mike was using his own state to mask that he was smuggling Krasnyy out of the pizzeria, but his boss didn't figure that out until Krasnyy returned for his shift around a week later. Mike was also re-hired that week. The commotion caused Violet to visit, reuniting the twins.

Over the next few years, every other Freddy's closed and their resident killers died in springlock failures. Only Location C remained open.

Vincent noticed that the animatronics were attacking Mike and Krasnyy, but wouldn't kill them: his son was up to something. In March 1997, Gerald had forced Krasnyy into a deal where he'd be their 'Voice'. Vincent begun working with the ghosts of dead guards to find a way to thwart the control that Gerald had placed upon Krasnyy. In August, the plan was set into action, codenamed 'the deadguard's arcade theatre'.

Whilst the arcade 'game' seemed to be helping Krasnyy realise his situation, Krasnyy was also trying to get Vincent to stick around after midnight. On the fourth night of the plan, he heard Krasnyy get attacked, so he stuck around. Gerald paid a visit to where Vincent was, but nothing happened. However, Krasnyy started acting strange, but returned to normal upon leaving the restaurant.

On the final night, Krasnyy succumbed to Gerald's control upon stepping foot into Freddy's, and stabbed Vincent. The wound wouldn't be fatal if he acted immediately, so he spent the night patching himself up. In the morning, he received news that Krasnyy had managed to realise his situation and break out of Gerald's control.

Vincent attended the MCI memorial event at the school. His speech was a hidden vow to prevent Faz Ent from ever conducting an MCI again.

The next day, Noire informed him that he had a third child: Jane Taylor. She was 10. Noire had hidden her as she had figured out the whole Copycat Location gimmick and didn't want to lose another child.

The next few years went calmer than expected, but as the animatronics back in the restaurant grew more restless, he knew he'd have to join the other purple guys soon. He got Philip to help lure and destroy the animatronics, then he let the ghosts of his sons and their friends kill him.

He expected to move on, but his drive to stop Fazbear Entertainment kept him going somehow.

He wound up staying with his sons. Sometimes his sister had him help with her experiments. He adopted the moniker 'Taylortrap': the Springtrap that would not kill investigators.

Years passed. He caught wind that Faz Ent was back for blood with new plans, including one codenamed 'UCN'. William had been trapping animatronics and spirits in a warehouse to try and trick the ghosts into killing someone else whilst believing it was him. Vincent met up with his former colleagues from Location C who explained their current situation and that they were also investigating this.

After getting kidnapped, Vincent found a critically injured Krasnyy. In order to survive, he and Krasnyy were forced to participate in Afton's plan.

The victim of the plan was the detective lady from 87. Audrey. Over the course of a few weeks, Audrey was able to turn the animatronics against Afton, allowing all of the hostages - man and machine - to escape.

Audrey and the guards then begun investigating another plan: the franchising kits. Vincent posed as a janitor. On Saturday, he was among the first to notice that the building was unstable, and helped with the evacuation. After Audrey crawled out from the emergency exit and informed the group that this kit had been Henry's plan to kill William for good, Vincent returned to the restaurant that he had died in. He received many visits from Noire and Jane, and sometimes he visited them instead.

Years later, he was found by Phoenix Douglas and agreed to help at the horror attraction: it was a curious way of informing the public about Faz Ent's crimes, and he needed a change of scenery. He took the heads of the dismantled animatronics with him so his sons and their friends could tag along. He found out that Noire had died when he saw her ghost dealing with her own funeral paperwork whilst Phoenix and Theren were busy with sorting out where the new props would go.

The horror attraction should have worked out, but during the night, Vincent heard a modified illusion disk, and blacked out. Apparently, he had tried to kill Theren during the blackout, and the phantoms had been hostile too. During the day, everyone practically tore the place apart looking for the source of the noise. Before 12, Vincent always got as far away from the office as possible, and during the night, Theren survived a functionally mind controlled Vincent.

On the seventh night, the building caught on fire. The source of the noise was gone, and Vincent was able to save Theren from the fire.

Being exposed to such temperatures caused the spring Bonnie suit to meld to what was left of his body. By using a t-shirt, baggy jeans, hoodie, and wide brimmed sun hat, he was able to pass as human. He then grew plants on himself.

When Faz Ent started the Special Delivery project, Vincent found himself in the system as Toxic Springtrap. After getting sent to a bewildered maintenance firm that Faz Ent had contracted, he covered himself in more plants and rigged an illusion disk to make himself resemble a proper 'Toxic Springtrap'. 'Toxic Botanist' became his new moniker, and he was able to use his dual forms to spy on Faz Ent.

After Ness was kidnapped, he was able to leverage this further to become the megaplex's gardener, maintaining the real and fake foliage installed throughout the establishment. Whilst the information he gathered only helped in the aftermath, he was able to protect people during management's attempt to execute their entire staff team.

After the Breach and Ruins incident, Vincent learned that William had latched onto Ness again, and that the best way to keep him contained was for Ness to become a human prison. Vincent helped Ness adjust to being the 'Warden of Glitchtrap', because if he can handle his past, she can handle her future.

Lonely Sunrise [FNAF SB, Renegade AU]

Published: Jun 8, 2025

https://www.deviantart.com/paigelts05/art/1204195983

My last drawing for Derrin's Vanuary. I decided on the prompt 'Sunrise', but it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to draw, because I didn't want to do the obvious 3 star ending scene as I've already drawn how that happened in my AU, and its called No_Memory, and the ice cream scene will be a post-raid thing, but that'd focus too much on Gregory and the deductions that he ran to aid the investigation.

I wanted this drawing to focus entirely on Ness, and I wanted it to cover a part of my AU that I haven't really touched on much: the time that Ness got to herself whilst trapped at the megaplex.

Because William didn't always need his human vessel, as he could take his business meetings and such in his spectral form, given that all in attendance in these meetings were already well aware of their CEO's 'condition'. During these times, Ness was in control of her own body, but she still couldn't escape the megaplex.

Ness made many attempts to escape for the first week of her captivity, but each time she thought she was out, each time she neared an exit, either William would resume control over her body or an exec would grab her.

The closest she could be to 'out' without getting grabbed or controlled was the roof.

Whenever she could, she'd go up to the roof. The cool wind in her hair was enough to give her hope that one day, she'd feel the grass beneath her feet and the warm embrace of her friends once more. It gave her the willpower to keep on fighting to regain control over her body in the moments where she needed to interrupt William's actions the most.

She might not have been able to directly aid with her own escape, but being able to claw back control for brief periods of time directly saved several people from what would have been certain death at William's hands, and did indirectly set up the path to her eventual freedom.

FNAF AR Tarot: Anna Kwemto, Queen of Swords

Published: Jun 1, 2025

https://www.deviantart.com/paigelts05/art/1201420286

For my own FNAF AR eMAYil month (i could not resist the pun), I decided to draw each of the characters from the emails that I listed as Tarot cards based on who they are in my AU.

To make the cards fit the modern characters, I had to substitute some things. I replaced horses with rolling chairs, thrones with cardboard box thrones, and the pentacles are pentacle decals on the backs of devices. Everything else somehow works.

As for backgrounds, I generally went with the idea of the card's backdrops being formed by some haphazardly placed standees that coincidentally looks like the tarot card's backdrop in order to mix the traditional tarot background with the contemporary characters.

The cards I picked are the ones that Mina - a Medium, and she's the lady that survived Twisted Wolf - would pull if she was doing one of her one-card-summary-of-you readings for them.

For Anna, I picked the Queen of swords. Her clear-headedneds and drive to create a space where everyone can thrive guided Mina's hand to this card.

It didn't help that she fumbled the card after she drew it, but it felt as if the card was meant to be both upright and reversed. His subconscious willpower kept Adelaide hidden from even himself: his own true power against Adelaide's deception.

FNAF AR Tarot - Ness, Nine of Swords

For my own FNAF AR eMAYil month (i could not resist the pun), I decided to draw each of the characters from the emails that I listed as Tarot cards based on who they are in my AU.

The cards I picked are the ones that Mina - a Medium, and she's the lady that survived Twisted Wolf - would pull if she was doing one of her one-card-summary-of-you readings for them.

Unlike most of the cards, this one has a more normal backdrop of a nondescript megaplex back room, as the swords make up the background intrigue. To get all the swords to fit, I had to take two off the wall and stick them in the floor, reminisce of the PQ3  arcade in RUIN.

For Ness, I picked the 9 of swords. She had her agency stripped away, and was trapped in a hopeless situation. Mina pulled this card for Ness to show her that her struggle was seen, and that even after Ness became the Warden, the scars of the struggle still remain, and Mina can still see them.

Sketches!

Thanks for putting up with my re-jig of some old posts. I promised a prezzie, and here it is. Three doodles that you would have never seen otherwise.

The first is the pink and purple Clavat townie from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Ring of Fates / Echoes of Time. Specifically her Echoes of Time incarnation: the fake dating to lovers lesbian who has my heart. I am in the middle of playing this game, and I'm playing as a girl. The side-thing where you help her deal with the annoying purple and green Selkie dude by letting her talk to you like she's your girlfriend made me absolutely love this character. You know, how when you play an RPG you have the extra story in your head of what your player character is saying, what they do in their downtime, the dynamics of your party, ect? Well for my playthrough of this game, the fake dating became real dating.

The second is two different outfits for my FNAF AU's version of Coppelia (at least her grown up self). The first is based of the outfit I drew as a D&D design. I made and played a magical fantasy version of Pel in a D&D one shot (pact of the undead warlock whose patron is her dad's ghost), but I made the outfit more modern with the combat boots and the fashion belt that just hang onto the skirt. This is what I plan to use as her choice of clothing for when she's working in her doll shop: a ren-fair getup with a modern flair. The second one is her casual clothes for lounging around the house: A bear hoodie, leggings, and boots. No idea what colour pallete the hoodie will have. I'm tossing between black, purple, or yellow. The modern flair on the first outfit and the whole second outfit was inspired by The World Ends With You.

The third is a character unique to my AU (what a fancy way to say OC) who will appear in the third story of "The Truth Behind The Tales". She is the daughter of a notorious Faz Ent exec, and grew up to be one herself, before getting tossed to the wayside as soon as she became dead weight.

[paigelts05]

I need to do some major housekeeping on some of my old posts (just small things that are driving me mad) that I cannot do without making a whole new post because they were made in the old post editor during that awkward phase where you'd need to literally ask support to use some of the key new things on posts made in the old editor.

So there will be a bunch of 'old' posts flooding the screen. You'll know when it's over because I'll be sharing some cool sketches and stuff.

The next few weeks of posts from me are going to be me doing my own event. Also if you make at least one entry, I'll draw one of your designs of a FNAF AR Emails character (send the ask to the event blog, not my main blog)

Also we're serious about needing to @ the event blog for the entry to be seen. Tag searching isn't working, but adding the @ in post gives me a notification.

Special Delivery: mail server party!

FNAF AR emails month 2025

Due to technical complications, users of the funtime delivery service received emails that were not addressed to them.

Thanks to this defect, we got to see some insights into the employees of Fazbear Entertainment and some of the contractors they hired!

So let's pull one of Fazbear's own strategies and have a party to try and make light of the chaos that was the behind-the-scenes of the special delivery service, from the virus that locked contractors out of their systems, to the nearly impossible feat of engineering that was re-making the mangle (as that thing from the 80's was definitely held together by a ghost)! Grab a drink, mind the sling and try to avoid agitating that bruise, and lets' have some fun! ~AK

The event will run from May 1st to May 31st, but let's be honest, you can do this whenever the hell you want (you can even prepare what you want to make now).

There are 31 different prompts, but you don't have to do all of them and you definitely don't have to do it on any specific day. The numbers are just an ID to separate one prompt from the next. Just pick and choose the prompts you like!

I was inspired once again by the many different fnaf event months (mostly the usual suspects tenacity in running these events, namely @vanessaverse-official and @puhpandas), so check them out when you get the chance.

Art, crafts, and fics are all accepted. AO3 collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/fnaf_ar_emails_month_2025

Runaway in the Snow [FNAF Renegade AU SB Vanessa]

Published:May 4, 2025

https://www.deviantart.com/paigelts05/art/1190772045

Vanessa Sylvia Blake is a runaway.

She spent her childhood with her father, Bill, keeping her at hospitals and ensuring that she was subjected to electroshock 'therapy' due to her 'rebellious' behaviour. Every time someone figured out that the treatments requested by her father were unnecessary, he'd grab her and skip town.

After the first few town skips, her father took her to a hospital that was local to an old Freddy's location that was noted as 'ND'. There was a reason why Bill Blake had chosen this hospital: the doctor assigned to Sylvia's 'treatment' was one of Faz Ent's own, so there was no doctor in the hospital who would be able to figure out what was going on.

However, Sylvia met a woman who shared her forename: Vanessa Shelly. Finally having a kind adult in her life helped her keep on going, and sharing stories about shit fathers even inspired her to escape.

She tried to run away over and over again, in all kinds of weather and at all times of day.

It was on one snowy night when she was 16 where her escape attempts finally succeeded.

Whilst the electroshock treatment screwed with her brain, preventing her from remembering her own mum's face, she did remember that the man she had put as her legal guardian shared the same forename and surname name as Vanessa Shelly's friend.

As soon as she found him, Bill couldn't get her anymore.

I got my 3DS XL fixed!

You heard that right!

I have an update on this: https://www.tumblr.com/paigelts05/782295709098688512/i-got-it-repaired-cooler-post-to-follow?source=share

I shipped my 3DS XL to this place really far up north, which is the only place in the UK that I was able to find that actively advertises 3DS XL repairs and will pull through when you ask them about the repair.

I booked the repair Wednesday and wrapped up my 3DS XL and the indicator lights to be sent off on Thursday (I had work so my mum and sister had to drop it off at the post office for me), I got the email that it had been repaired and was on its way home yesterday, and so today, I had to work from home to receive the parcel (had to pick it up from the post office anyway because parcelforce didn't bother to try and get down the side street I live on), but it's home and repaired!

I still have the spare parts that I purchased back when I planned to do this repair myself, and if it does break again, I should be well prepared by then to take on the repair myself, but with the new hinge and shell, and with my sister teaching me how she opens and closes her 3DS XL, it shouldn't break now, ever.

I GOT IT REPAIRED!

cooler update post to follow.

Hey, tech side of Tumblr. Does anyone know anything about 3DS XL hinges?

The Right corner of my 3DS XL broke, and when I was trying to line it back up to fix it, I fumbled it, and the hinge corner fell out.

Now, being a dumbass in despair, still grieving my nan's passing and incredibly stressed over my 3DS's breakage, I closed my console, put the hinge back in, and tried to open the console. I jammed the hinge.

I took the hinge corner apart to try and see what actually spun, and I found that I had totalled this little bugger here:

So I went and purchased a new one. That new one looks like it had been whacked out of shape. Mine is marked with gold sharpie, the new one is unmarked.

Even though I don't have any idea what a 3DS XL hinge axel is supposed to look like in an unharmed state, the new one looks wrong.

Also, I have no idea which way is open and which way is closed, which is fun. If someone can help me with identifying if a 3DS XL hinge axel is in the fully open, right angle open, or closed state, I would appreciate that a hell of a lot.

I have built a rig that should assist me with repairs. I can use it to hold my 3DS XL in the fully open position indefinitely. If it'd be better for me to fix it when it's in the one click open state, I am more than able to re-do the required parts of my rig accordingly.

I plan on sealing the casing closed with milliput. If it can keep a small boat afloat, sealing the gap and adding a new layer to the shell can keep my poor 3DS XL from snapping again. And because of how permanent a milliput repair will be, I NEED to get this right.

I will not be replacing the front casing. The idea of taking my poor 3DS XL apart that much scares me, and repair shops near why I live are really not in the question, as when I went looking for a 3DS battery last summer, they all recoiled in pain at the word 'Nintendo'. (Except CEX, but I don't want to ship my 3DS away to get it fixed).

I plan on making what amounts to a hinge axel valve to see if I can un-fuck my hinge, and see what state the new hinge is in, and will update at various stages of my repair accordingly.

If I cannot obtain a hinge that I know will not break, I can and will just put a dowel in (with a new hole for the dowel in the hole slot because of the oval shape of the hinge axel), but I want to do right for my 3DS XL.

List of things I need help with:

If someone can help me with identifying if a 3DS XL hinge axel is in the fully open, right angle open, or closed state, I would appreciate that a hell of a lot.

What position would be best for my 3DS XL to be repaired in? I have a rig made that holds my 3DS XL in an open state, but if it'd be better for me to fix it when it's in the one click open state, I am more than able to re-do the required parts of my rig accordingly.

Broken Family [FNAF, Renegade AU]

Published: Apr 27, 2025

Vanessa Diego never got to know her father. He went out to fetch some groceries, and never came back. The only reason why Ness knows that he didn't abandon her was the fact that his body was found in a ditch a week later. Even as an adult, she remembers the funeral as if it was yesterday.

Even as an adult, she didn't find her dad's ghost for years. He had gotten amnesia, and couldn't even remember being human: he knew that he had to have been human once, but he couldn't remember any of it, not even his name, so he could only go by his alias of Phantom BB.

It took a lot of help, and a lot of time in the flipside after Phoenix's Fazbear's Frights fire to help him piece enough fragments of his memory back together, but by then his daughter had already gone through the worst few years of her life, being puppeted by the ghost of William Afton.

So to help his daughter keep William from gaining control back over her during the Raid, he possessed her: that way, she didn't have to push herself as hard to maintain control. It wasn't the reunion he wanted, but it's the one he managed to get.

This is my entry for Derin's Vanuaray prompt 20, Family. I could have gone the easy route, but instead I decided to share the burden of my own grief by sharing the story of a character who is experiencing grief for themselves.

Maintenance Work [FNAF SB, Renegade AU]

Vanessa Sylvia Blake and Desmond Anadem have a lot in common that they know of, and way more in common that they're not entirely aware of beyond that.

They don't get the chance to speak often, and they rarely take it when they get it, as navigating the maintenance tunnels of the megaplex during major incidents tends to be a two person job that requires constant vigilance, lest another technician or security guard goes missing.

This is my entry for Derin's Vanuaray prompt 17 - Maintenance. I decided to rotate back to Sylvia Blake (the Renegade AU's SB security guard Vanessa), and also include Desmond Anadem (Cassie's dad). I have a fic that I'm working on that shows a bit more of these two dealing with a major incident, but I've not finished with the fic yet, and I've got much grander ideas for the art for that fic.

A gift on the desk [FNAF AR, Renegade AU]

This is for the prompt 'valentine's day' but it's very late. I have been busy, and stressed.

This is a drawing of Luis Cabrera finding the gift that Ness left for him whilst Ness watches to see his reaction. But it also looks like Ness is watching Luis leave a gift for her. It could go both ways to be honest.

Perhaps the scene is as intended: Vanessa Diego left a gift on Luis's desk, and she's watching him pick it up.

Perhaps the scene is not as I intended: Luis Cabrera is leaving a gift on Ness's desk, and she's secretly watching him leave it there.

Ophelia Harper: Nightmare Mangle Operator [FNAF, Renegade AU]

Published: Apr 6, 2025

https://www.deviantart.com/paigelts05/art/1179997570

I didn't actually have anything for this week. My backlog piece has a massive character backstory that I need to finish up, the next pages of September Snow and Prelude of Ruin are nowhere near done, and I've just not had the energy to get any one of them done.

But I did have the energy to colour my sketch page for Nightmare Mangle's operator, Ophelia Harper.

Ophelia trained to be a trauma surgeon, but she couldn't find any work in her field anywhere, except for at some pharmaceuticals company that seemed to be more of a research lab. She worked along side a few other scientists operating oversized animatronics, and she operated one called 'Nightmare Funtime Foxy', but she called it Nightmare Mangle because it was mangled as fuck.

However, she did get to put her surgery skills to use. After being dragged into a operating theatre to treat a patient named 'David Afton' Ophelia was told that the whole trajectory of the research was about to change.

She received several patients, all with similar injuries: skull crusher by spring Freddy jaw. Some patients were dead on arrival, but others seemed to be barely hanging on. The early 80's saw many of this same patient. Being a trauma surgeon, there was only so much she could do: she wasn't a neurosurgeon! But she was told that someone's else was dealing with the brain stuff. She flip-flopped between operating Nightmare Mangle and dealing with whatever patient was brought in that week, but within a year, the flow of patients slowed down.

It was only when she received a surprise patient, Gerald Taylor, who Camilla helped her patch up, that Ophelia caught on to what was going on, despite being one of the most involved: the brains of the kids were being fixed by shoving their conciseness into that small robot thing that was at the centre of the nightmare animatronic experiments

Ophelia didn't mind or care, as the patients that weren't dead on arrival would always wake up: it just now made sense that it always took an experiment cycle for them to wake up: they had to beat Nathan Douglas and his alter, Nightmare, who operated Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare to fully recover their motor functions. If anything, this was revolutionary medical technology.

What she didn't know about the remnant that was always mixed into the IV bags wouldn't hurt her yet.

She'd continue her work until Bonibelle and the other operators who could leave left. She finally became a trauma surgeon, but something nagged at the back of her mind.

I won't reveal what happened in detail, but many years later, she returned to the labs where she once worked after receiving a note that implied that the blood bags were not all that they seemed.

As she investigated the abandoned facility (though knowing Faz Ent, unmanned and abandoned hardly meant unused), she noticed that she wasn't alone, and the stranger was operating nightmare Mangle: her animatronic.

The next thing Ophelia knew, she was dead. And a ghost. She managed to identify her killer as another Faz Ent scientist: Dr Talbert. Area of study: remnant. Known for killing anyone he deemed a threat to his research.

Whilst Ophelia didn't possess anything, her spectral form heavily resembled Mangle, and she was somehow able to leave the building.

She had to stop Talbert from killing the other operators.

She knew that her fiancé, Dimitri, was still working under Faz Ent, so he was likely to know what the hell the guys deal was, so she'd have to pay him a visit. And if she couldn't get the information out of him in a normal conversation, she'd have to scare it out of him. And if she struggled with that, then she'd just have to conscript the help of those two thorn-in-faz-ents-side journalists.
