#Also looking back at the lines freddy had when talking about bonnie

[skullzy20]

c'mon now they're gay coded

[dasketcherz]

thought i'd share my thought process for this fun lil piece / outfit in full display that i whipped out for beckory on valentines cuz i really had a lotta fun making it <3

OKAY first off, big thanks to @leaky-heart for helpin me gather some really cool outfit refs and for lending me resources where I can find a ref for bonnie's guitar in a 3d space. Thank you bestie, yar a life saver <3

Second, @/littleleaflings' jacket—goated af, will never stop gushin bout it aaaaAAA <3

Okay so looking at freddy & bonnie's designs—i am in love with how their dominant and accent colors are opposite of each other like a yin and yang situation. So i absolutely tried to incorporate that when rearranging the palette unto beckory's outfit

Fronnie's colors arent the only contrasting elements about them. Aside from their earrings, even their symbols are a pair—i love how freddy's is a lighting bolt but he is also associated with stars on the side cuz of his branding. While bonnie's is a star but he also has lightning bolts on the side (the purple accent in his fit) to match freddy

And to sprinkle a bit of beckory flair, i put stripe lines across their pants (if you look back on my ref sheet for the squad, the three amigos all have stripes somewhere in their fits, i purposely designed that to be their thing) just to also unify the patterns from their top

i gave tony a scarf to match greg's bow tie accessory. Its a combo homage to bonnie's headband and bunny ears in a way (cuz the ribbons on its ends look like droopy rabbit ears) i gave them gloves to compensate being unable to add punk bracelets on em cuz it would be too much for the overall look (same logic applies to the star shades, its to match with the top hat)

Also this was such a pure coincidence but i also realized beckory wears their fazwatches in the same placement as fronnie wears their earrings on. That actually makes me very happy, i think its a really cool coincidence

And as yall can see, Greg's jacket initially had stars on his sleeves (like it does in the ref), but i decided against putting it in the final cuz im startin to think it might look cluttered and hard to read from afar and tbh, I really liked how the translucent sleeves turned out... I didnt want the star pattern to cover it up lol

And thats pretty much it, thank you coming to my ted talk!! <3

if youre interested to see more of my art process compilation like this you can check over on my ko-fi page, you can support me by buying me a latte cuz I am planning to post more exclusive stuff like this over there in the future so I hope yall look forward to that! I deeply appreciate yall and thank you so much in advance!!

The hate on Roxy because she's a "bitch" and a "narcissist" and... wanting to get Gregory? (When literally everyone besides Freddy is also trying to kill him???) Is so fucking stupid and just shows how much you people hate female characters. I'm about to go in-

First of all, the bad talk at Gregory in SB was because she was hacked by Vanny, (even her behaviour when you see her through the vents in her room) obviously there was no way she'd actually talk like that to a KID, but alot of you seriously believe that. And yeah, ok, she says a few mean things, so what? SO WHAT? If this was Monty's, or maybe Bonnie's personality instead, would you be spewing hate at them, or continue to simp for them and call their behaviour hot? I know for a FACT that a lot of you would. Not all female characters have to be too sweet or quirky and silly for you to like.

Back to Roxy's bad talk, you may think "Well, none of the others bad talk him!!" Yeah, it's because everything Roxy says to him is actually targeted to herself. The game clearly showed us how she actually feels: crying alone in her room, constantly telling herself that she's not a loser, and questioning if everyone loves her. Her praising herself are reminders to feel like she's still loved more than anything.

And the one thing that boosted her confidence alot was her looks. Her looks clearly meant so much to her, and we see this in Help Wanted 2 as well, so obviously she would be furious and lose it if someone took that away from her, including her ability to see.

And before I say anything else, I just wanna say that no I'm not angry at Gregory at all, he is just a child who was doing everything he can to survive, and if I were in his place, I would've done the same as well to protect myself. But at the same time, I understand Roxy's anger too. If I were someone who had very low self esteem that I reassure and prepare myself everyday to hang on, when one day, suddenly someone hits me with a whole go kart that shatters my entire body, and on top of that, they steal my eyes too? Yes, I wouldn't just be devasted, but I'd be very angry as well. Roxy was taken everything away from her, and was left to rot alone, I don't blame her for being angry at all.

Now more onto Ruin, which shows us her true side all along.

In the dlc, I don't think (Or it's clear at this point) that any of them are hacked anymore, since we assume that Vanny left with Gregory and Freddy in the good ending, and Glitchtrap is gone. But with Chica and Monty, I feel like they've just lost themselves and are completely broken. Even when seeing Cassie, they still tried to kill her. But with Roxy, she was the only one who recognised her when she heard her voice, and even apologized for grabbing her.

Later on, when Cassie stumbles onto Roxy again, this is where we see her TRUE self. Where she's sweet, soft, and not as mean as everyone made her out to be. (The way she gently speaks to her and holds her hand will never not make me cry) We know that from Roxy's lines, she was one of few who actually showed up to her birthday, since her friends didn't and was the reason why Cassie was crying in one of the cut outs we see. But Roxy was there for her, and she still remembered her special day, her favourite cake, and she was her number one - twice.

This part CLEARLY shows you that Roxy isn't a selfish jerk who only cares about herself, she cares about the kids, and she cares a lot about Cassie. There's a reason why she's Cassie's favourite, right? And don't forget that she literally went up against the mimic to protect her!!!

And I do wanna say that, no, this post isn't telling you that you're not allowed to dislike Roxy or criticise her at all, the issue is hating her character and personality when she would've been praised for it and called "hot" if she were Monty, Moon, Bonnie, or if she was Glamrock Foxy instead. (Which is... literally misogyny) Like, even before Ruin, there were people who hated Roxy for being a jerk, but then turn around and praise Monty when we see him being way more aggressive, while theorizing that he was the one KILLED Bonnie over jealousy. Not even because he was hacked, just... jealousy, and that's not him being 10 times worse than Roxy???

Don't forget the details in Monty's Gator Golf minigame, where in some levels, Freddy was always seen separated from the gang, and in the last level, you see Monty performing along side Roxy and Chica, while Freddy was thrown in the trash...

To me, this is clearly because he's jealous at Freddy, and wants to be the star instead. And along side him possibly killing Bonnie...

I'm sorry, but while I do like Monty, he is literally WAY more of a jerk. Alot of you people believe he killed Bonnie, is extremely jealous, way more aggressive, and yet Roxy is the worst of all for saying "I bet you don't even have friends" to a child when she was HACKED? But yeah, also praise the literal child murderer and abuser for being "interesting" and a cool character, but no, Roxy is the worst because she's a bitch. It's just so ridiculous, and I'm not surprised in the slightest, female characters will always get this treatment.

Alright, it's finally out of my system, anyway stan Roxy.

Five Nights at Freddy's (Movie Review, Part 2)

So, let's continue with my FNaF Movie Review. If you want to see Part 1, the link is below:

Five Nights at Freddy's (Movie Review, Part 1)

I had to make two separate parts because of crossing the image limit I was allowed on Tumblr. Part 1 contains a non-spoiler review, as well as a spoiler review of the characters and story with a warning for those who haven't seen the movie. Part 2 covers the finale of the movie, as well as the main villain.

MOVIE SPOILERS!!!!

Now, let's get to our main attraction!

Ahhh, William Afton... Seriously, whenever the animatronics weren't stealing the show, this guy would take the spotlight in every scene he was in. I was legit looking forward to his character in the movie, and he never disappointed.

He appears as an unassuming career counselor, Steve Raglan (missed opportunity there to call him Dave Miller), who gives Mike a job after learning that he is the older brother of the kid he had murdered, even saying how the owner ''was too sentimental to let go of the pizza place''. Yeah, when I heard that, I knew immediately he was talking about himself.

During the movie, we learn that William has somehow influenced the Ghost Children to trust him and hunt down Abby to make her his next victim, with the climax having Chica almost stuffing Abby into a springlock suit and Foxy hunting her down (this is both a The Silver Eyes and Into The Pit reference!), while Mike deals with all of them (and gets his leg damaged by Carl the Cupcake).

I will admit, I almost screamed when I saw Spring Bonnie approaching Mike, and the latter's futile attempts to fight him off.

William as Spring Bonnie is legit the creepiest and most awesome part of the whole movie, and I absolutely love how he chews the scenery as he confronts Mike, telling him he was behind the murders and how he will kill Mike as well, as well as siccing the animatronics on him.

Oh, and I love the Ghostface reference here, gotta allude to Scream given the actor's career. X3

I know I shouldn't be fangirling over the main villain of the story, but COM'N!, this guy is stealing the show and he enjoys what he's doing.

As the movie reaches its climax, William confronts Vanessa, while Mike realizes that he can turn the Animatronics against William and asks Abby to help him. What does she do?

She makes a drawing that shows the truth (something that happened in The Fourth Closet). Also, just look at the gaze Abby gives to William. It screams: ''Now you're dead.''

And William knows this. There is genuine fear and shock in his eyes, especially when the realization hits and the Animatronics surround him.

They are pissed, and you'd think that William would turn into a sniveling coward and beg for mercy as they move to kill him. Yet, that doesn't happen.

Instead, he remains defiant, delivering an epic rant to the Animatronics:

"Look at you… Look at the nasty things that you have become! Look at how small you are! How worthless you are! You are wretched, rotten little beasts! I made you!"

This prompts Chica to unleash the Cupcake, who takes the bite out of the suit and causes the springlocks to snap.

The iconic springlock failure we're all familiar with is not a fountain of blood with William quickly dying. Instead, it is slow and agonizing, and William is doing his best not to scream in pain, falling onto his knees as he is dying and quickly grabbing the Spring Bonnie head as he delivers his iconic line:

''I always come back!''

Now, this made me scream in excitement!

Not only is this William's iconic line, but it also has a deeper meaning behind it. He knows that he can return to life by having his soul possessing an animatronic, and he's taking full advantage of it.

While Mike, Abby and Vanessa book it out of the pizzeria as everything starts falling apart, the Animatronics grab the dying William and slowly drag him away, and it seems like the story of Freddy's is finally over... or is it?

We see William inside the Spring Bonnie suit, whimpering in agony as the Ghost Child that possessed Golden Freddy stares back at him, before closing the door on him, sealing the room shut, and honestly, I legit thought Hello Zepp from Saw was about to start to play during this scene.

Seriously, look at the scene and tell me you didn't think the same thing. Unfortunately, it doesn't, but the song that does play is more than appropriate!

YES, FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S BY THE LIVING TOMBSTONE IS IN THE MOVIE!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!

Overall, I LOVE this movie, and the very ending with Spring Bonnie...

...or shall we call him, Springtrap, makes for a solid base for a sequel.

If you want to hear my ideas for a FNaF sequel or just want to discuss the movie, leave a response or a question in the inbox. I have SO much to say about this.

Five Nights at Freddy's (Movie Review, Part 3)

[jenuinelycurious]

So, I have a couple of thoughts about the fnaf movie. Theories, if you will. Specifically concerning Vanessa.

This will contain spoilers. Proceed with caution if you haven't seen the movie, yet, or scroll past.

Okay, Vanessa Shelly and my thoughts/theories surrounding her in the movie verse. There are 3 (with some points in between).

1) Her name. I do not think it is an alias, I think that is her actual surname -- specifically from her mom. We don't know anything about her full dynamic family life as a child, except that her dad is William Afton. So, I think it's safe to speculate that, in the movie at least, William and his wife had a divorce. Vanessa's Mom won custody over her and changed her last name from Afton to Shelly, Mom's maiden name. Visitation or shared custody was still a thing that could happen after divorce, especially in the 80s and 90s by court order in some states so kids could have some semblance of having two parents in their lives (maddening, I know), so of course she would still have photos of herself and her dad. But, the main holder of child custody can enforce a name change, if they so choose. And, if the mother went thru a name change after the divorce, so too would have Vanessa.

So, at least for me, Vanessa really is Vanessa Shelly and comes from a broken family. We can see semblance of this when her and and Mike are talking by the water drain/river in his neighborhood. When he mentioned that before Garrett's abduction, his parents were the kind you'd see on television: have family dinner at the table, hold hands, and say grace. Vanessa's expression is one of pain, longing, and jealousy--her family was nothing like that, and she likely never knew what a loving family ever felt like. This is also the moment that she truly sees the outside perspective of the damages that her father had done: she'd *never* met someone from the families that had been affected by his evil. Until she met Mike. Her father *broke* this family, just had he had heartlessly *broken her*, his own daughter. This was the start of her turning point: meeting Abby, talking with Mike, and connecting the dots on what happened. However, she is still a victim of harsh, narcissistic parent manipulation: it is always going to be a long and hard road for her.

2) "He really fucked you up, didn't he?"

I think it goes without saying that Vanessa is as much a victim as the children, Mike, and Abby in this movie (as well as the countless security guards that died prior to Mike getting the job). However, a thought struck me that...well, I'll be honest. It's fucked up and broke my heart, but it also came about when I questioned one thing during the moment when Vanessa was telling Mike in further detail on what happened to the children that disappeared during the 3rd act of the movie on the Fifth night.

*how did she know the animatronics still holds the children's bodies, when no one found them to begin with?*

Here's my fucked up theory that I'm starting to believe: William Afton not only manipulated and mentally/emotionally hurt and broke his daughter--he brain washed her into helping him abduct those children.

Yes, he was the one that did the evil deed, however, what better way to have a child that is a stranger to you be trusting and calm and not fight back when you're a 6 ft, adult sized animatronic/rabbit suit?

Have another child close by.

Vanessa was there to either lure the kids away into the back, and/or was there to keep them from screaming or running away. This also means that it's very, highly likely that she saw her father in the spring Bonny suit, kill those kids and hide their bodies. Remember, every time she talked about Freddy's and had that haunting look in her eye, we the audience heard her thoughts: screaming children.

She not only witnessed the events, she was a brainwashed participant to them.

3) "You may have forgotten your loyalties..." -- the way William said this line was filled with years of discontempt. Not just from her holding a gun at him and telling him to stop. Like, he wasn't surprised or this wasn't the first time they've seriously, seriously stood on opposing sides.

Honestly, two things on this bit: 1) Vanessa having chosen to become a police officer after knowing everything her father has done physically shows the amount of guilt she's carried into adulthood. She holds herself partly responsible for what happened, and has chosen a job that will allow her to enforce protection and safety over harm and manipulation. 2) The last thing I'm sure William would have wanted was for Vanessa to become a police officer. It puts him at danger of likely getting caught, after years of careful arrangement to prevent that from happening. When he found out that she joined the force, he was most likely livid. Scared, but livid. However, a narcissistic manipulator will never share that--instead, he most likely either blackmailed her to stay quiet (the whole "if they find out about me, I'll make sure they find out about you" spiel) OR he manipulated her. I'm more willing to believe that it's the latter, considering what she says to Mike: "If I go back and he's there... I will be useless to you. Trust me." And she said that with fear in her eyes and voice--she was aware of the power that he had over her. He's had years to break her down and become his puppet. She didn't want the chance of endangering someone that was already a victim to her father once before.

She wouldn't be able to handle that guilt.

3) "You knew!?"

So, we all know that William abducted Garrett. But like my previous points, it was something that Vanessa said that made me mentally double take:

"I didn't know when we met, but after we talked..."

**What**

After she and Mike talked about his brother, *she knew*. With only a name and some semblance of clues. Reminding here--he never said that Garrett was taken when he and his family were out camping, and he never shared a picture of Garrett to anyone, especially Vanessa. He only shared that when he was twelve, he was supposed to watch his brother and he was taken, and that he was trying to figure out who did it by way of dream theory memory retrievement. She was the one that mentioned the Nebraska pine forest poster during this talk. **Because she knew.**

Vanessa knew because she was there.

Remember when I said that I theorized Vanessa was brainwashed to help her father abduct children? Garrett's abduction would have lined up with the children disappearances at Freddy's. Mike was 12 years old when Garrett disappeared--and he's most likely in his early-to-mid twenties, most likely having been 13-15 when Abby was born (giving a three year gap, cause we don't know how their parents were with each other during that time) and Abby looks like she's somewhere between 7-10 years old, putting her birth year between 1990 and 1993. Meaning, Garrett was abducted the summer of either '87 or '88 (I'm willing to bet '87, because that's a significant year to the franchise).

It is very likely that Garrett was the first victim, to test whether or not the daddy-daughter duo that William had built by manipulating his own daughter could actually work. That she would actually follow his instructions without question and, in a heavily public setting, be able to kidnap a child from their family without struggle. Why didn't we see her in the memory dreams? She could have been sitting in the front passenger seat--Mike would not have seen her.

Again though, these are just my thoughts. These are just my theories. Decided to share them in case anyone else may have had the same thoughts--and also to get them out of my head. They've been burning holes in an already soupy brain (busy season at work--yay).

[hunsa-jars]

my overall little thoughts on HW2

I think Steel Wool did a wonderful job with most of the models here, bots like Baby and Ballora and Lefty and Scrapbaby look amazing

They're really getting there!

Love that this game functions as a bridge, during and after Security Breach but just before Ruin- like don't get me wrong, i'm also starving for answers after Ruin, however not immediately charging into the next big chapter and instead letting this game be a.. "small clues here and there and having some fun time at the plex before we have to leave it behind" situation was the right call

Let's talk about the animatronics for a hot sec, my mind is so full of them

I'm a Sister Location truther, so having this many levels with my favorite murder machine gang is giving me extra serotonin

Did not expect Yenndo to show up, like at all, it makes me so ridicoulusly happy

The Bidybabs and Minireenas had their time to shine as well, and BALLORA!! Missed her so much in Helped Wanted but she's here now so can't complain anymore

The ice cream moment with Baby was so oddly... bittersweet? Still have to digest that one, honestly. Oh- and the voice line about how she doesn't want to leave because it's safer here (the Sister Location bunker) stood out to me, it feels so.. Fazbear Entertainment altered, SHE WOULDN'T SAY THAT, YOU CAN'T FOOL ME

They brought back Ennard and i can't be happier, thank you for thinking of us starved fans. THO his model is pretty off, and his eyes not being the right colors really bug me, STILL i'm just gonna enjoy my food, thank you

Loved Glamrock Freddy's mini game and voice lines so much, he's sooo

And that hot comment- they know. They know us.

Gotta adore that they made Glamrock Chica sillier and more endearing. Is it just me who finds her super endearing here, like her little mannerism and how she's watching us make f- no? Alright.

Showing us how Roxy got her mask she wears in Ruin was so clever, now people can stop complaining about how "her endoskeleton does not look like that"

Suspiciously no separate Monty mini game, i know we had the mini golf one and the shooty one in Ruin already, but come on please

Can't believe they brought BONNIE BOWL back, it's nuts

And the fact that they're gently trying to imply that, yes, it was YOU KNOW WHO did that, it's shdnhns, okay

I have a newfound love for DJ, he's actually so cool?? Forget being the Glamrocks' or the Daycare Attendant's handler, sign me up to him please

Poor Helpy just can't catch a break, i feel so bad for him :<

Pigpatch was the last person i expected to see, good for him honestly, but wish they referenced the other Mediocre Melodies too

(or you know they could have had all of them sit around in the room with you. The attacker should have been Molten Freddy or Scraptrap but oh well i'm plenty fine with this too, no i'm not upset-)

LEFTY AND SCRAPBABY LOOK SO GREAT THANK YOU

I'm gonna miss the Staff Bots so much, thanks for giving us more time with them, those goofs

The Log Ride is insane. The Carousel is also insane.

It's always good to see Foxy again, he can also jumpscare! How neat is that

What is Mystic Hippo's deal? Genuinely, i have no clue

(Do the cards have any serious symbolic meaning? It's kinda driving me crazy)

Can't wait to hear the fnaf theorist youtubers misinterpret Candy Cadet's story, yippeeeee

SUN IS A PETTY BITCH AND I ADORE HIM TO DEATH- it's hysterical how some people are turned off by it when it makes so much sense that he is this way! Like... he's always been a perfectionist. While he wants kids to have fun creating and playing he expects perfect work from YOU, an employee. It's your job after all. He gets irritated if you misbehave or make a mess, it's pretty in character. He's impatient and rushes you. He talks so much smack.. and yet you can'tdeny he starts out giddy. The giddiness fades when you start making mistakes. BUT he also doesn't actually want to hurt anyone for no reason (gestures at the last arts and crafts level) Not gonna repeat my previous rants, but yes, he's perfect

Moon.. yes SW, give us more Moon pspsps-

Jack-O-Moon's design is so pleasing, people yall know what to do

Very fond of Carnie, don't know why yet but i'm sure i'll figure it out eventually and this mouse is gonna be pretty sad if he turns out to be a one-off character-

Glitchtrap only popping up here and there because his influence weakened is cathartic, i'm not gonna stop thinking about it any time soon

The memory collectables.................... yeah.....

THE BONNIE MASK WHAT DO YOU MEAN STEEL WOOL COME BACK

The whole Princess quest segment was so cool, i'm glad it went down the way it did. Cheered when Vanny crushed Glitchbastard, yes queen

(My only frustration with this game is here... the graveyard. The order you have to light up the torches. I don't know how to feel about it yet)

THE MASK BOT ENDING IS EVERYTHING ACTUALLY

And Cassie's new model, she's so cute!! My poor daughter

In conclusion

Great game, I'm very normal about it

[phoenixcatch7]

The daycare attendant is so fascinating, I love talking about their designs. Like, if one were to build a da, taking into account everything we know about them, what would it involve?

I'm going to talk about their history, appearance, details, and potential theories behind their design, with a healthy dose of headcanon. And it's going to be LONG. I'll break it into reblogs to use multiple line breaks, but that requires I post it in unfinished stages, so bear with me.

First things first, what have we most recently learned? I said in another post that it's a theory that the attendant was originally created for the next door theatre before they were moved to the daycare full time. Similarly, we've just had proof of the existence of Eclipse, who's a absolute darling, if not at all up to date on the state of the plex.

Their arms were revealed to glow. In a dimly lit theatre relying on a light/dark gimmick, glowing forearms is both cool and helpful! But we never saw it in sb. Likely it's a conscious choice, given we see it after the plex is already destroyed, so it's not a lost or removed ability! It simply wouldn't have been very useful, with sun being in bright light at all times and moon trying for... A modicum of stealth.

Perhaps it's also a matter of battery, as another theory suggests the da, as the animatronic actively on patrol during the hourly recharge, and the first one you battle in the game, was originally supposed to be the source of the power upgrade that in the finished game is just readily available to freddy without explanation. Unlike all the other upgrades, which you have to defeat each other animatronic for. The increased power would certainly have been useful for both massively extended patrol times and those transformations, which certainly look power intensive! Booting up and switching over such all encompassing and high level programs has to be draining!

In a lot of the plex, but especially in the daycare, you see a lot of cut corners and animatronics not reaching their full potential (thankfully!). A lot seems hastily patched, from monty joining the band after Bonnie seemingly vanishes from the face of the earth, the constantly collapsing sinkhole in the raceway, the giant rubbish stuffed full sewer area like the underneath of a teenagers bed. Music man doubles as a cleaner. Moon works night shift as security (and a tva on the side lol).

In that regard, the da came across to me as very overworked, when I first encountered it. Sun was stressed and under a lot of strain, stretched thin. His barely contained mania is basically his whole character, besides his natural showmanship. He's jumpy, smothering, and basically five seconds away from wrapping Gregory in bubble wrap at any given moment.

What I found interesting was how he seemed tired. He talks about all these activities, but doesn't actually... Do any of them. He basically plonks Gregory down by the nearest distracting object (though it works against him, this obsession with having everything nice and tidy definitely read to me about trying to keep everything in your power when you have limited control) and doesn't let him leave from that spot. He doesn't speak or try and engage Gregory except to drag him back, he doesn't bother using the flying rope despite having the hook in his back. When he loses Gregory he just sits in a corner with his head in his hands. Whether he's playing hide and seek or crying or whatever you interpret it as, it's not exactly energetic. He's grubby and marked - either he or a staff member should be keeping him as sparkly as the other animatronics, and they're not keeping on top of it.

Moon, on contrast, uses the rope. He bounces and flips and jiggles and walks on his hands and pretends to swim. He's got no problem chasing Gregory into the tunnels once enough generators are flipped. He's not afraid to back off, either - he doesn't stop moving, but instead circles like a culture, muttering to himself. He most likely runs on the same battery as sun, but he's not afraid of using it. Not to mention whatever bizarre but super cool galaxy effect he can use on the hour change, possibly all the way across the map!

Eclipse, meanwhile, has a voice significantly less robotic than the other two, uses the rope, and activates those old glowing arms without a thought, despite the fact that sun and moon are slow and staggering by the time of ruin. For goodness sake, moon can't even get a proper grip on a child's arm, and is fended of by even a single torch beam, despite being completely immune to the torch and a game over if he even touched you in sb.

Theatrical expressive design

Eclipse as ring master

Child safety problems

Likely mechanics of mask/clothes

Implications of room

Chance of fazbear splurging on sign language/disabilities accommodation

Liklihood of bring connected to the Internet (not high)

Security desk barrier (they both can touch and climb on it only in cutscene)

Involvement of light levels

Human actors v endos.

Potential programming and maintenance.

Fronnie and Prototype Glamrock Freddy Theory

Before we get into it, I got to point out that whenever I talk about Prototype Glamrock Freddy after this, I will be referring to him as "Predi".

I believe that Predi was the one either in a close friendship or an actual relationship with Glamrock Bonnie.

Reason I came to this conclusion was I thought back to the main Security Breach game before Ruin. Like, for example:

If our Glamrock Freddy was the one that was close to Bonnie...

Why didn't he mention that his "green room" was back there and that there was a way to get there through the vent from Fazer Blast?

This might be the romance lover in me talking, but if I had lost someone close to me I'm pretty sure I would show more grievance than what our Freddy showed.

Answer: Due to basically becoming Predi's younger brother, Staff decided to alter Predi's memories and gave them to our Freddy.

Another theory that I have is that Predi was the one who caused all that damage on Bonnie, not Monty, and was the actual Patient Zero for the Glitchtrap Virus.

Predi was just like Monty, probably even worse considering he was literally made to be the leader.

The image above by @pixlokita is a good reference to my point on what Predi used to look like before he was replaced by the Glamrock Freddy we've come to know and love.

When around children he did not get attached to, good parents, members of STAFF that were actually doing their job, and some of the other animatronics like Roxy, Monty, and the Daycare Attendants at first, he puts up this "mask" of friendliness but inside he just does NOT care.

When he's either alone or around Chica or Glamrock Foxy (Possibly), he can let go of that "mask'" and vent his frustrations to them.

When he first met Glamrock Bonnie, it was love at first sight, and the traits from his "mask" start to become a natural part of his personality. Eventually, the two started a relationship, which is what I think the earrings on their ears represent.

I also believe that Predi was the one who gave Bonnie that poster signed "You and Me, Forever and Ever" and the Freddy merch that we see in Bonnie's new "green room" when we see it in RUIN.

If Bonnie really did get that hearing upgrade I talked about in my last post, I feel like Predi would FINALLY let out his anger against the STAFF that gave Bonnie and all of the other animatronics said upgrades that are clearly hurting them as well, but as we all know, the STAFF wouldn't care about Predi's concerns and would just threaten to scrap Predi if he spoke out against them like that again.

Now, here's where my other part about Predi becoming Patient Zero for the Glitchtrap Virus comes into play.

I've highly theorized that the Virus ended up heightening any negative quirks/flaws that the animatronics may have to a DISTURBING degree.

With Predi, I think after he yelled at the STAFF about the upgrades, all of his progress with becoming more open with everyone immediately went back to square one and the virus made his negative traits worser and he started to take it out on Bonnie, be it verbal or even physical.

At first, he didn't realize it and believed he was just having a malfunction when he seemingly "blacked out". But over time, it got worse and he became more aware of it, which leads to my next point.

Predi was one of the factors that led to Bonnie's demise, NOT Monty.

During a night where the Virus took over, Bonnie finally decided that he would run to Gator Golf through the vent in Mazercise to find Monty and get him to help take Predi to Parts and Services.

Suddenly, Predi appeared, and I think he would say the voice lines that went unused for "Possessed Glamrock Freddy" while chasing Bonnie around the Pizzaplex until Bonnie could go through with his plan.

He found Monty on the catwalks and quickly tried to explain what was going on with Predi but Predi than appeared behind the gator. There would then be a chase around the catwalks for a few minutes. Monty then decided that in order to stop Predi they would need to use the "Hurricane Hole-in-One". Once the bucket had been hit enough, Predi temporarily broke out of the Virus's control to try to tell Bonnie and Monty that he was not doing any of this out of his own free will, but it was too late. Bonnie started to run to where the bucket was and Predi fell back under the Virus's control.

Bonnie managed to lead Predi to the bucket. Monty's hand hovered over the button but then Predi suddenly knelt down and held Bonnie as he temporarily broke out of the Virus's control again and began to cry, telling the bunny how much he truly loved him and how much he changed him for the better. Realizing that using the bucket wouldn't help Predi after all, Bonnie told Monty to stop. Monty did but then the button mysteriously activated on its own (presumably by Vanny), and the same sequence from the main game happens.

Bonnie pushed Predi out of the way and tried to hold back the bucket long enough for the bear and gator to get away. The same shattering sequence happens like in the main game. Monty, thinking he accidentally pressed the button anyway, started to cry and yell at Predi, telling him that it was HIS fault that Bonnie was shattered. Predi simply walked away, tears still staining his faceplate. Monty used his leg upgrade (Yes, I still believe in the theory that Monty had his LEGS upgraded first), to safely jump down to the stage to where Bonnie was.

Monty is still crying as he babbles out apologies in French, but all Bonnie does is slowly put his hand on Monty's shoulder and weakly smiled before seemingly shutting down.

Suddenly, some of the human security guards appeared from the elevator into Gator Golf and saw the scene. Believing that Monty was the one who caused Bonnie's "accident", they simply told Monty to go back to his green room, not bothering to hear his side of the story.

Like in the main story, STAFF pulled the "retirement story" to the children so they would stop asking about the whereabouts of Bonnie. Bonnie's shattered remains were then put in a hidden room behind the bowling alley, one where neither Predi nor Monty were able to find.

This is what I think led to Monty now hating both Predi and our Glamrock Freddy, since I believe that Bonnie was more like a mentor to Monty, and I wouldn't blame him for hating the one animatronic that basically led to his mentor's demise.

Now... how did Predi end up shattered/ruined in Fazer Blast?

Well... I believe this is when more of Freddy's unused voice lines come in.

You see, I don't think Gregory is the first child to get themselves trapped in the Pizzaplex, if the disappearances are anything to go by.

And maybe Predi TRIED to save one of the children but failed as not only did Vanny POSSIBLY kill the child, but she may have ordered Chica, Roxy, Monty, who was now under the control of the virus, and Moon to tear Predi apart, which may explain the damages on him.

It would also explain why his head is missing since maybe Vanny ordered one of the animatronics, probably Monty, to take his head off and hide it somewhere.

When STAFF find Predi's damaged body, they are shocked and confused about what might have happened. Instead of fixing Predi, however, they merely decided to create the Glamrock Freddy we all know and love. They also decided to make a copy of ALL of Predi's memories but altered them so that Glamrock Freddy wouldn't think to question the STAFF at all.

They basically created a version of Predi who was now Fazbear Entertainment's golden child.

The events of Security Breach and RUIN still happen, but I now think that if my theory is somehow true, then the Fronnie ship could be more tragic than we first thought.

Also, IF there is going to be a sequel to the RUIN DLC, then maybe we can fix Predi and Bonnie and reunite them.

[alfairy]

So! I finally saw the fnaf movie! And I’ve got many thoughts about it!!! Here’s my review and random reactions and thoughts about it. Spoilers for the movie under the cut. Proceed with caution!

I thought it was really good! Definitely wasn’t perfect but I had a lot of fun watching it! My mom was with me, and she doesn’t really know anything about fnaf but she also enjoyed it. I didn’t really get scared at any point during the movie (I was more scared by the horror trailers they played before it started haha), but that’s fine! Maybe I’m just immune to jumpscares.

The effects!!! All the animatronics looked so good in motion, and the sound design made them feel even more real. Every heavy metallic movement or blink of an eye, it was just perfect.

There are sooooo many Easter Eggs! Sparky the dog! Ella from the books as a prototype circus baby spring lock suit!

The soundtrack slapped, especially the opening credits. Blumhouse was cooking in the music department fr 🔥🔥🔥

BLANKET FORT SCENE! EVERYONE CHILLING TOGETHER ON THE FLOOR AND BEING FRIENDS! I wish they could’ve stayed friends like that, it was my favorite scene of the whole movie and was so sweet

I heard everyone say there was a matpat cameo but I didn’t see it? Either I somehow missed it or the theater cut the scene or something? I SWEAR I didn’t see this man or hear him say his iconic line. I did have to get up at one point to use the bathroom really quick, so many that’s when I missed it.

Coryxkenshins cameo! I love that guy, he did really good for his quick scenes! I think they should make him a reoccurring character actually. Have him run over springtrap in the next movie.

Also the aunt character was evil. But like, comically evil. She hires people to break into the restaurant to make Mike look bad so she can get custody of Abby and get the government paychecks for it. And she got murdered in Mikes house by Golden Freddy, and they never resolve that??? Last we see her she’s lying dead on the floor and then the last scene with Mike and Abby they’re happily eating spaghetti at home like their aunt wasn’t murdered in the living room lmao. And we know Vanessa couldn’t have covered for them because she’s in a coma soooooooo. 🤷‍♀️

The coolest kill was when Freddy bit that girl in half and her bottom half fell onto the floor like DANG! The rest of the kills they either cut away from or don’t really show detail, which I thing is a weak point. Next movie I think they should push it a little bit further, but I understand why they shot it the way they did.

Is this a good time to admit that I’m kinda down bad for Josh Hutcherson in this thing hhahghshdh 😳🫣 boy stopping looking at me with them big sad doe eyes

Matthew Lillard was also serving cunt in this, even though he got 10 minutes of screen time 😔 he gave it his all. Hopefully if we get a sequel he gets to do Springtrap stuff.

Mike during this whole movie be like: 😴. I’m surprised it took so long for the band to attack him in real life (dream sequences don’t count) when in literally every other scene he’s popping pills and taking naps. He naps every few scenes and yet looks like he hasn’t had a good nights rest in 30 years 😭

So… Garret isn’t one of the spirits? I would’ve thought he was Golden Freddy but he’s not…. Maybe in this universe Garret is the puppet? There was a hidden message in the end credits that says COME FIND ME and the puppet music box is playing. That seems to be what theyre trying to set up for a potential sequel, but…. That’d make me a little sad tbh, this is Charlie erasure ;-; Also can we please have Henry Emily do something for once in this franchise, WHERE is this man.

The finale was cool! When Spring Bonnie walked in everyone was like “YESSS!!!” And after he started talking my mom was like “😯 I think I know who it is!”

William smacked Mike so hard he did a damn triple flip through the air and got his ass knocked out cold. Mans him so hard that it probably sent him back to the bite of 83 💀💀💀

So. The big thing. No Michael Afton in the movie. In fact, Vanessa is William’s only child.

Honestly I’m kinda down for the strange role swap that this universe has going on. I don’t think anyone expected Vanessa to be Williams daughter, but that was cool, and it gives a little insight as to how William managed to get away with this for so long. He’s literally got a kid in the police force keeping tabs on Freddys and covering his tracks for him. Now it suddenly makes sense why in the trailers Vanessa seems so knowledgeable about the animatronics and already knows they’re possessed.

Tbh I had a random thought. If Vanessa gets to take over Mikes role in this world as Williams kid, then Mike should get to have his own “reluctant follower” villain arc. Put that man in a rabbit costume. It’s only fair. Equality 😤 ✊

And with those final thoughts…. Yeah! I’d say the movie was a solid 8.5/10 for me, I’ll probably go see it again with friends when they get off work this weekend! The critics are wrong yet again, it’s a perfectly enjoyable movie and the fans will love it.

[blood-and-pizza]

I wanna talk about a few of my fan animatronics for FNAF, so beware! LOTS of old fan art ahead:

Catie the Cat - my first FNAF OC, created all the way back in 2014. She went through multiple name changes before she finally got her current one. Originally conceptualized as a flirty, sultry lounge singer animatronic from the FNAF 1 era, she gradually evolved into a playful party girl who's an amazing vocalist AND a drummer. Catie is a light blue cat who originally did not have hair, but eventually gained golden blonde hair on her later iterations. Catie's playful nature has always been a part of her, charming both kids and adults alike. I admittedly haven't had the chance to develop her as much as I would like.

Brewster the Rooster - One of my more recent FNAF OCs from 2023. He was part of my Kawaii line of fanimatronics and was called "Brewster the Bishonen Rooster". Currently, Brewster has sort of become one of my favorite OCs, though I haven't done much with him. He's basically a character known for his good looks, and he's developed such an ego about it he literally thinks he's the main character of the universe. And he uses this information to be as sweet and kind and nice and helpful to everyone as much as possible. He's an egomaniac, but if he had a heart, it would be golden. He's a well-meaning himbo who has a secret love of disco music and calls people "dude" regardless of what gender they are. Oh, and his crow is terrifying as fuck and bone-chilling if he's hunting you down for some reason. If you hear him crow, he already knows where you are. Better run...

Monica Gator - I know, I know. I'm sure other people have their own Monica Gator fanimatronics. But I couldn't come up with a better name for this girl:

Inspired by Montgomery Gator and his awful relationship with Bonnie the Bunny, Monica has a love of rabbits. She thinks they're cute... and tasty, too! She also flirts with rabbit animatronics, but they're too terrified of what she'll do to them if they return her affections.

Pammy P. Parmesan - A mouse girl animatronic who's meant to be a female version of Chuck E. Cheese. Her restaurant, Pammy's Pizza Palace, was a rival to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Fazbear Entertainment ended up buying the rights to Pammy and her friends, which include Catie the Cat, Prissy Poodle, and Molly Mallard (formerly known as Dee Dee Duck). I drew art of the original Pammy P. Parmesan animatronic, who was injected with remnant and made to work as the janitor when the Kawaii animatronics with Berli Honeybear took over that location. I also drew a Glamrock version of her but it's kinda crappy to be honest, and I'd LOVE to redesign her.

There's also Kawaii Bonnet and Kitsune Foxy, who are both part of my Kawaii line of fanimatronics:

There are also three more characters I've mentioned before on this blog but haven't finalized designs for:

Melody and Harmony Pomene, Melissa Pomene's AI daughters from my Fazbear Estate AU, are supposed to have animatronic bodies at some point. But I haven't finalized designs for them yet. All I've come up with them is how they look as programs on a screen on Melissa's laptop:

Melody is on the left, and Harmony is on the right.

And the final character, one I truly haven't envisioned a look for... is Spring Chica, the springlock Chica the Chicken suit haunted by Fredbear's Family Diner's creative consultant, Francine Cantor, who got too close to William Afton and ended up dead for it. I've never drawn Spring Chica. I only know she wanted to kill William Afton and canonically doesn't get to... but in a Time Paradox ending she was successful and... well, I don't know what happens after that. Depends on how she decides to kill William.

Yeah, point is, I never came up with a design for Spring Chica. I should. I want her story to be realized in game form at some point.

Osomatsu, Jyushimatsu and Todomatsu (🏳️‍🌈💌💔🧸🪀💬🎃🔊)

jyushi- dumb dumb by mazie

todo is kinda hard to nail down but - secrets by p!nk

[west-tokyo-incidents]

I'm just in a world of cringe culture because I cannot stop thinking about my Fnaf au and... tbh I'm not ashamed of it in the slightest 'cause it's fucked up as shit and right down the same alley as other horror shit I've written.

So basically I took the story line of Fnaf and said 'cool, what good guidelines, I'm only going to look at this shit once a blue moon'. Also I only referenced the first three games, but I could bullshit something for the others if it behooved me.

The only recurrent thing is 'children and adults are murdered and latch onto pizzeria robots intended for entertainment in order to get revenge' and 'murderer is eventually trapped in the body of one of these as his own personal hell'

Vice is obviously the killer. Because duh. He's not seeking some everlasting life or immortality, he's just a fucked up man killing people because Violence.

His first kill is a homeless teen girl who was unlucky enough to be dumpster diving outside his workplace after he has a particularly shit day. This is Mizho, who latches onto the equivalent of Mangle.

The next kill immediately after is her older brother(Paresse) who's looking for her after she doesn't show back up. He possesses the Puppet(Because duh.)

Vice promptly panics and dumps their bodies in the dumpster, and they aren't found until two days later, when some other local punks set the dumpster on fire. The punks, known for harassing the local homeless pop, get arrested for the murders.

Having gotten away with it, the Mangle and Puppet start tormenting all of the staff, but especially Vice, making his mental state all the more worse. He knows, deep down, what's happening. That he's being punished for killing, but... he wants to do it again. And he gets his chance one day when the power goes out in the place in a terrible storm.

While sheltering in place with various kids and parents, Vice weighs down the top of the Puppet's box and locks the Mangle away. His coworkers help because they agree those two could be a danger to the kids with everything happening.

Two little kids, who's parents had dropped them off for the day, sneak off from the group to go find food... Vice almost doesn't take the opportunity. But one of them says something that sets him off. He hides their bodies in Freddy and Chica's suits. (Eater and Hana) Cops are called and Vice is internally freaking out... but the bodies aren't found and the kids are assumed to be missing or having run away.

Soon after this, he confides in a very close friend and coworker while they're cleaning up after hours a couple days later. Said friend, Rage, reasonably freaks out and starts to call the cops(idiot move, honestly, just wait and call the cops afterwards) but Vice is faster. Rage haunts Bonnie.

No one files a missing person's report for Rage. Rage had abusive parents who disowned him, no one really close to him except Vice, their bosses assumed Rage had ghosted and just stopped coming to work, and the music studio he'd been trying to get with assumed he'd given up.

Well, most of them.

Vice wisens up and realizes he's only going to get lucky for so long. The investigation of the two kids is still on-going and the company is doing everything they can to keep the place's image up. Security is increased and Vice is made a manager.

When Freddy and Chica are sent in for repairs, Vice starts to freak out... but the company is too absorbed in keeping their head above water that they cover it up for him. Though they don't know who the killer, specifically, is. Rage is a major suspect, having just vanished soon after the disappearance, but he's no where to be found.

A woman does coming looking for him, though. Fussa Fusataro, a producer at the studio who'd taken an interest in him and started to take him under her wing. Vice is given the responsibility of talking to her and getting her off the company's back. It only works for so long. She's smart. She starts to put the pieces together. But she still, for some reason, trusts Vice.

He invites her to his place, acting like he can't say certain things while at work or he'll get in trouble, tricking her into thinking he's on her side. And he poisons her. Because of the nature of the visit, she didn't tell anyone where she was going, and becomes yet another mysterious disappearance. She haunts Foxy.

The place is eventually put under construction, to rework the old animatronics and make them something new. But during construction, Vice has awful dreams and is ruined by guilt and breaks into the old place, intending to destroy the haunted machines, only to end up in one of the suits himself.

---

As for the animatronics and their new ghosts, they don't get a lot of interaction with one another, but it's clear from the get-go that Paresse is very protective over all of the others. Big brother energy gone murderous. He's probably the first one to get a human kill during a night shift, but is very upset to find that the guard was not, in fact, Vice.

The puppet had to be sent off for repairs following the murder of Eater and Hana because Paresse became insanely aggressive. This is when the music box programming was installed in him.

Rage rapidly became the next aggressive after being killed, always the first one to move during the night shift and trying to scare Fusataro away from Vice. He became somewhat more docile after Fusataro was murdered, more out of mourning for her than anything.

They can communicate with one another, but it's not like talking as humans. It's more of a subtle sharing of disembodied emotions and thoughts than it is direct spoken word.

[artistic-mathematics]

sentience in animatronics, particularly in sister location?

Major FNAF lore spoilers ahead. Also, this is a very long theory post. Consider yourself warned.

This is a list of the main animatronics that are possessed, or have sentience in some way or another. (This list might be a little shady, so bear with me):

Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Golden Freddy (First Missing Children’s incident, FNAF 1)

Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica (Second Missing Children’s incident, FNAF 2)

Mangle (from the fruit maze minigame)

Puppet/Marionette/Lefty (for... obvious reasons)

Springtrap (also for obvious reasons)

Looking to each of their behaviors, it’s shown that the person who possess said animatronic (aside from Puppet) were stuffed into their respectful suit, which is how said animatronic gains sentience. For the Puppet, Charlie’s spirit kind of merged with the Puppet’s because the puppet wanted to protect Charlie, even after death (or something like that. That’s basically how MatPat explained it in one of his videos.) For this, we’ll kind of just... ignore the Puppet, because that’s clearly an exception and isn’t really useful here.

Now, if we look into everyone else’s behavior, we see the following. The main animatronics and the toy animatronics are weary of adults (including Mangle, btw!), especially night guard, because they look the most similar to William Afton (or their murderer). Springtrap is, well, William Afton, and he always comes back because he has the plot armor of every Disney princess ever. They all have a proper motive -- the children and the dog looking to avenge their own deaths, while William Afton murders more people and does more of his twisted experiments with souls and wreaks more havoc overall.

Sister Location is different. We know for a fact that Elizabeth Afton possesses Circus Baby, but even then, it’s an extremely fuzzy grey line. What was her motive in killing her own brother? Michael mentions that the Funtimes thought he was William, so actually, what was her motive in killing her own father?

For my fic (which is why I... started overanalyzing this to begin with...), I’ve written this off as the fact that maybe Elizabeth’s soul wasn’t fully merged with Baby’s yet. There seems to be a bit of a consensus on there needing to be time before a spirit fully merges with the animatronic, so maybe that is the case. Maybe Baby just had sentience and decided to do whatever it took to leave, despite knowing that he was Elizabeth’s father and her own creator.

We know that in FNAF 6, Elizabeth has some control or some say over Scrap Baby. I get that an animatronic literally made by William could call him “daddy”, but realistically, Elizabeth would be more likely to do so.

For the sake of this post, let’s just assume that Elizabeth had no say over Baby in Sister Location, but in part gave Baby sentience (because she obviously is sentient by then). The true motive that Elizabeth has, while actually possessing Baby, is to make her father proud, considering that the very last thing she did while alive was disrespect orders and disappoint him. She wants to make amends and make him happy.

We have all of these possessed animatronics with a clear end motive, one that relates directly to their death in some way. So what on earth is going on with the other Funtimes?

Let’s start with Ballora. The most commonly accepted theory is the theory MatPat proposed, that Ballora is actually Mrs. Afton (whose name has not been confirmed yet). The biggest issue I see with this theory, though, is the fact that not once does she actually display true sentience throughout all of Sister Location. Sure, she has a few lines that were definitely not coded in, but that doesn’t really determine anything. There is one major difference between Baby (who we’ve already determined to be sentient) and Ballora,

Ballora doesn’t learn. I don’t think Baby only meant that Ballora couldn’t learn to pretend in order to avoid getting scooped. When Baby first mentions Ballora, she simply tells you how to get past her. Ballora is predictable, and Baby knows that. She knows exactly what Ballora will do, because she doesn’t learn from her failures. You’d think, after being in an underground facility for so long, that any human (even a child!) would be willing to change their tactics. And yet now we’re talking about a fully-grown adult who’s possessing this animatronic? It just doesn’t seem likely.

I do believe that she is at least partially sentient, though, due to her voice lines and the ability to at least listen to Baby. She also has a less than fun reaction to the controlled shocks and is very, very hostile to you after that, showing that she has at least some capacity to understand that Michael hurt them. Also, if Ennard’s inner dialogue is to be believed in night 5, then I can see Ballora bringing up the fact that he had hurt them. (I do believe that Baby planned this whole thing out and told the other Funtimes to act hostile towards Michael, but uh, Ballora may have just held a grudge regardless.)

Another thing that’s worth mentioning is that it’s been generally confirmed that Circus Baby’s Pizza World opened after the first missing children’s incident. If this is to be believed, then William Afton would have already done experiments with remnant and whatnot. In this case, I think it’s actually quite likely that Ballora may have had Mrs. Afton’s remnant, but not her spirit. This would explain why she’s not as sentient as Baby, but is at least somewhat sentient. I think this was extremely deliberate -- I do agree with the part of the theory in which Ballora was modeled after Mrs. Afton in some way. He must’ve done this to honor her memory or something along those lines.

Now onto Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy. We know that the both of them are also sentient in their own way, considering the fact that they were also able to listen to Baby (while Funtime Foxy does have the same motives as Ballora when it comes to attacking Michael, Funtime Freddy does not. so I do believe that Baby must’ve talked to him beforehand to some extent in acting hostile.) My theory is that both Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy must’ve had remnants of other people, since they both also seem to have at least partial sentience like Ballora. But who, and why? It makes sense for Ballora to have Mrs. Afton’s if she’s modeled after her. But what’s the point of making these other two sentient?

The best solution I can come up with is to enhance the AI in them, so they do a better job of kidnapping and killing children... or whatever. I have absolutely no proof to back this up, though.

Then, well, Ennard happens. And the three of them vote to kick Baby out. While the three of them kinda just... let things happen in Sister Location, I think the reason for their rebellious behavior was actually due to Elizabeth being merged with them. I think that maybe she passed on some of that sentience to the other three, giving them just enough willpower to boot Baby. Do I have evidence for this? No. Is this entirely based off of headcanons? Yup. Honestly, I’m just spitballing at this point. I am so, so very tired of trying to figure out how sentience even works in FNAF at this point.

(Don’t even get me started on Bon Bon, the Bidybabs, and Minireenas. I have no goddamn clue how any of them even fit. The Bidybabs saying “She’s watching us!” or something along those lines just... my one braincell is crying.)

Anyway, please let me know what you think. This was long and convoluted and I want some opinions from other people, because I really am just overthinking all of this now.

PS. I have no idea how this remnant stuff even works. Couldn’t you tell? I probably should’ve researched it but I’m too braindead for that now. Literally putting this out there before anyone flames me.

Okay so I was listening to fnaf songs recently and- I heard this song and when it got to the part of the nightguard singing it reminded me of your Mike the ENTIRE time I was listening to it. Song below!

After Hours (ft Zach Boucher) - JT Machinima

Also, the animatronic reminds me of Marion, earlier in the book, and just- this whole song just radiates your fics vibes to me

(OH I KNOW THIS SONG, IT’S AMONG MY FAVORITE FNAF SONGS. YEAH, SPOT ON, THERE’S A FAIR BIT OF THIS IN MIKE I really wanted to write a chapter- or at least a proper one shot around this. Maybe I will one day. And yeah, absolutely Marion loves to play himself up like this and it does line up with his intent of wanting to scare the guards off- or kill them if that fails. But yeah, this is a giant compliment to me, not gonna lie, because this song just has so much PERSONALITY- thank you so much! Have a little drabble (still long for tumblr, warning) around this since I might get to the one shot anytime soon, albeit I’m working on some one-shots right now … now working on this, I might bump it in my priorities though, it’s a lot of fun. I could expand this and put it up in my one shot book? I never was quite able to explore all I WANTED to explore in my fic, expanding after the fact would be nice. Hm. Either way, hope you guys like it!)

Many guards came and went. One way or another. The gang knew the routine and the routine worked. It was what they knew they had to do, it was what they WANTED to do, ensuring no one was able to watch them, trap them, take away their last sliver of freedom. Guards who had no idea what was going on, guards who thought they were above caring about the tragedies, both types were met with equal viciousness. There was no such thing as an innocent guard, anyone wanting to claim that place wouldn’t even be working here long enough to be endangered by them. It was fair. The Marionette told them that it was fair. And Freddy had deemed the Marionette the only one they could trust here. Ramping up the aggressiveness- if they didn’t learn their lesson, if they didn’t realize something was wrong, if they didn’t put in the time to research what cursed place they were working for- Then they deserved it. Right? Well, the routine with all guards was the same. And eventually all of them cracked. One way Or another But there was one guard, who seemed to be an anomaly in this routine, this well-prepared stage play- A man so vile, so harsh, who didn’t even blink while being faced with vivid images flashing in front of his eyes, who glared at the machines not with fear or disgust, but with- Annoyance. It was such an odd way to be looked at. Bonnie had stared back at him completely blank the first time it happened. Suddenly, and just for a second, he was a ten-year-old boy again who had accidentally kicked a ball at the old janitor who took care of the school. “Piss off!” The large rabbit for a moment GENUINELY had considered listening, before remembering he was at least two feet bigger than this man and made out of metal and that he could do whatever he wanted. But too late! The door had already closed. Later after six, he told the others about what he had seen- and Freddy was about to laugh him off, before Chica agreed with the bunny. “There’s something about him!” She laughed. “He reminds me of one of my dad’s co-workers. My dad hated the guy, but he was the only one who paid any attention to me if I managed to get to the station. He even let me look at some cool stuff in exchange for me staying quiet!” “That doesn’t sound responsible.” Freddy grumbled, trying not to show his jealousy. “But it was cool!” Chica giggled. “I wonder how he will react to us telling him creepy things-“ “We will NOT speak!” The leader put his foot down. “Killjoy…” “Remember what the Marionette told us! Talking to them will make us lose the last bits we had of our old lives. Do you guys want to forget more?!” It was quiet. “… that’s what I thought.” The bear sighed. “I’m sure he just tried to be tough as a façade. We won’t see him again. Just stop thinking about it.” That was wrong. The second night he came in, fifteen minutes early, as he tended to, glaring at the stage. “You bitches going to put in more effort tonight or what?” Chica couldn’t help it. Ever so slightly she leaned forward, allowing her maw to open- beneath it she was grinning with terrible delight, a giggle escaping her. Immediately the guard put his fists up. “You wanna throw down?! You wanna fucking GO? I’m fucking READY! Get down here, I’ll beat your ASS!” Nothing moved and after a minute the man put his fists back down again. “That’s what I damn well THOUGHT. Know your place!” He turned to walk to his office- and Bonnie shifted his eyes to look at Freddy. Hoarsely he whispered, “… did he genuinely try to fistfight us?!” “He- just- stop thinking about it. You’ll get him tonight, you’ll see.” “… I don’t want to fistfight!” “We’ll come to help you once you got him! Just scream at him, you’ll see, he’ll lose it.” Freddy shifted a little, uncomfortable. “And- if you don’t, Foxy will. Next night.” It turned out, that also was a false assumption. Foxy had sprinted down the corridor, just to be met with a locked door. In a desperate attempt to get in and get it over regardless- no, he just wanted to get in, he really wanted to get in, not because he smelled the rotten purple, but because whatever was on the other side smelled like them, like metal and a bit like static in the air before a storm, it radiated familiarity that he craved so badly, he missed him, he missed Michael- he began knocking on the door. What responded to him, was throwing him off. “Who’s there?!” Confused Foxy glared at Bonnie who was just down the hall and shook his head at him- but he couldn’t just NOT answer! “D-dumdumduum…” Nervously he sang his usual song. “Dumdumdum who?” The guard didn’t wait for long. “Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb you! Hah! Fuck you. Trying to insult me. Bitchass.” Needless to say, Foxy spent the rest of the night hiding behind the curtains, crying. Chica visited him in the short time they had between six and eight, trying to reassure him. “I’m sure he didn’t MEAN to insult you… he was just trying to make a joke!” “THE NEW GUARD H-HATES ME! EVERYONE HATES ME!” “Please, Foxy…” Freddy stood by the curtains with crossed arms. “If he hates you, we’ll make him pay. You’ll see. I’m not tolerating him talking this way about you guys… this time we’ll get him. I tried to merely scare him tonight, but tomorrow, playtime’s over. I will get him.” Both Chica and Foxy stayed quiet. Surprisingly enough, it worked! On night four, after all they had done, they finally had managed to scare him into using up too much power. A done deal. Chica and Bonnie stepped back when the light turned off, turning away. Foxy closed the curtain to the Pirate Cove. All of them hated it when the lights went out in a way. It was one thing to sneak in and behind a guard when he wasn’t paying attention, when he had been too stupid and careless, when he hadn’t taken care of them, when he had forgotten about them- But simply waltzing in? Nobody wanted to do that. It made them feel too much like a soulless monster. Coming face to face with a helpless guard, crying or panicking, slamming on a button that simply wouldn’t work anymore, staring at them with such helplessness, such familiar desperation- Only Freddy could do that. And he made sure to make a show out of it. Hyping himself up, cowardly, because he couldn’t stand that stare of the guards either, but somebody had to do it and it was making him feel better, pretending was making him feel better, pretending to be a villain in a show, a powerful monster that had their triumphant moment in the spotlight, like this was a story and he was the one to be celebrated- Even with this guard he didn’t make an exception. … or maybe especially with this guard he didn’t make an exception. He WANTED to see him terrified. He WANTED to have an effect on him. He wanted to prove to himself, that this steady guard, this stoic man who had left such a deep impression on everyone… prove that he was just a guard, like any other, a person, who would in the end falter like everyone who came before him. There was no such thing as strength above their own. There was them… and the killer. And everyone else was no help. No solace. A nobody. So, it was easy to explain why, when he was at the door and stared into the bored expression and crossed arms of the guard, he began playing his song- And playing And playing And playing, playing, because that expression didn’t CHANGE, if anything he looked MORE bored and it was driving Freddy NUTS, this wasn’t how it was SUPPOSED TO BE, he was doing everything RIGHT, everything how he was supposed to do it, how the Marionette had instructed him- When the clock chimed, the lights went back up and he froze. Slowly the guard stood up and moved towards him. Face to face. “Nice fucking try. I gotta say, VERY controversial choice to try and fucking BORE me to death, but what can I say?! It almost fucking worked!” Reaching up, Freddy just barely managed to not move, when the man honked his nose- and broke out into laughter. However, the bear managed to shortly look down at the clip-on on the man’s chest. “See you tomorrow, I fucking guess! No freedom from this mortal coil for me!” He was almost halfway down the corridor, when he heard Freddy’s deep voice behind him. “… Mike Schmidt.” Turning, he stared at Freddy. And then he was- Angry? “So you CAN talk! FUCK ME I GUESS! Were trying to make me think I was fucking INSANE, didn’t you?! Well, FUCK YOU! Can’t take that back! You-“ Suddenly he stopped and rose his hands, palms out and waved them in a rejecting matter. “No. No. Fuck you. No. I will not stay here longer than I have to. Fuck you. You’re not making me do free overtime. Talk to you tomorrow, I’ll give you a piece of my MIND, fucking freak.” And so he was gone. Chica and Bonnie joined him, looking towards the door through which the guard had disappeared. “… you didn’t kill him.” Bonnie pointed out. “You spoke to him!” Chica exclaimed. “What’s your plan…?” Quietly it came out from between the curtains of the pirate cove. “Calm down everyone.” Freddy moved towards the stage, a determination burning in him like it hadn’t in- oh so long… he felt almost alive. He scoffed. “I wanted to know his name… before we make him join us.” “We’ll stuff him?!” “Proper!?” “Yes. We have a spare suit, don’t we?” He laughed to himself. “We’ll make him join us. If he’s that good at what he does… he’ll be even better at what we do. And we could use a new pal, eh?” Positioning himself on the stage, he stared at the rows of empty tables and his eyes narrowed. Mike Schmidt. It's time to teach you who was the REAL showrunner.

* TOY BONNIE 4 THE ASK GAME !!

favorite thing about them: His design, I really just think he is a v cute animatronic, and v friendly looking. least favorite thing about them: Honestly Nothing comes to mind (unless I can talk about my Tbon from my withered!Canon, because they were: Awful! and hated/was scared of me. We did not get a long. He thought he was better then me, and my bandmates n liked to throw it in our faces- especially mine. SO if we’re talking about my tbon- then thats it.) favorite line: I don’t think they have canon voicelines?? So sadly I cannot say. brOTP: Toy!Bonnie and Mangle!!! They are besties! friends!!!! OTP: Toy!Freddy n Tbon d:] toy fronnie good. Also have seen v cute art of him and withered foxy? which i think is just a v sweet pairing. nOTP: Honestly- Withered!Bonnie and him. If I were to compare us to anything- I’d say we are more like- Siblings, Brothers, or thats more of how I am more comfy with fan interpretations- and just considering how mean Tbon was I can’t’ see him in ANY sort of romantic light- and it just makes me-

random headcanon: Toy Bonnie is able to spin his torso. Able to rotate it 360 degrees and can spin around like a top if he wants! Which is verey funny to imagine because I keep thinking of him going: SPIN ATTACK and starting to spin with his arms held out and slowly approaching the guard who is screaming.

unpopular opinion: Don’t like how people make him really mean to: The Other toys, or especially mean to mangle. Even though my tbon was cruel- and mean- I don’t like when the fandom only portrays him like that.! song i associate with them: Left Boy - Dangerous:

“Dangerous, ooh, that sounds good, yeah Talk to me baby, like I'm your dude 'Cause right now, I'm in your hood In your house, in your bed, in your sheets Hey, DJ, spin that tune If you don't fuck with us, then motherfuck you Made Jour Label, that's the crew Nobody does it like we do Step in my zone and it's (danger) Bring that motherfuckin' house down Come through dress like space ranger Oh, there's a new sheriff in town Ah, blood on the dancefloor Or tryin' to get in the back door Let them all in, it's alright Party like we're all going to die tonight”

Really fits his attitude- and Also I’ve had a sfm animation idea for it for YEARS.

favorite picture of them:

What tha tbon doin!!!!

88. “Wanna bet?”

94. “Oh, fuck it – will you marry me?”

for the prompt thingy and Fuck you I want the Afton backstory. I am a slut for history

[ hoo boy i stayed up really late making sure this was good and accurate so here’s your history jehbfregrj ]

[ you see the prompts i don’t need to put them ]

[ Characters: William Afton, Bartholomew Afton (me) ]

[ Warning: implied murder at the beginning ]

Their first meeting was far from conventional.

It had been the middle of the night, in one of those old Freddy Fazbear restaurants. They were both young when it happened, barely adults. Bartholomew had only been there because his little sister had left something- a small Spring Bonnie plush- behind. He wasn’t supposed to see it.

They had met when William came stumbling out of the backroom in the Spring Bonnie costume, drenched in blood and breathing heavily. It was the adrenaline, he said many years later. The adrenaline that came from the kill itself, and knowing he would get away with it.

Their eyes met. Both were frozen in place, and then William smiled. It was sick, sadistic. 

And Bartholomew loved it.

He didn’t die that night. No, William wouldn’t kill the only person that seemed to understand him. The only person that didn’t look at him in pity, or disgust. The only person that wasn’t afraid.

He fell in love with him almost immediately. It was exhilarating- much more so than when he met his ex-wife. There was a fire inside both of them, and it needed to be fed. It could only grow, grow, grow.

And then he left, slowly picking up the plushie that William assumed belonged to a child, and backing up out of the door. Their eyes never left each other. Not out of fear. But understanding.

That wouldn’t be the last time they saw each other.

---

“I could definitely do it,” William argued, looking down at Bartholomew. The man had his head in his lap, the rest of his body vaguely splayed out on the bed they shared. He laughed softly, a sound William never tired of.

“Really?” Barry asked, a teasing tone lining his voice. “I think we both know why I don’t believe you. I mean, the blueprints you showed me… there’s no way technology like that exists yet! And the sheer size of them... “ he trailed off, his point obvious.

They were talking about the Funtime animatronics William wanted to build. Yes, it would be a pain in the ass of a project, but it would be worth it when he learned the secrets of remnant. He knew Barry would support him if he truly pursued it, but there was still fun to be had.

“Wanna bet?” William shot back, grinning down at his lover. Barry only returned the gesture, gently grabbing the side of his face to pull him down into a kiss.

“If I win,” the brunette whispered against his lips, the sensation sending a shiver down his spine, “then I get to keep you forever.” Reasonable enough, he supposed.

“And if I win?” William asked, his voice low, and a little scratchy. He felt Barry smile at the sound.

“If you win… I’ll be whatever you want me to be.”

---

As expected, the Funtimes were not an easy or quick project. Bartholomew stood beside him every step of the way, but it was long, tedious, and more than just difficult. William wouldn’t have been surprised if his love had abandoned him early on, but there he lay in their bed, hanging onto the pillow William usually used.

The sight made him smile, but it wasn’t devious or even evil. It was soft, and loving. He honestly never thought he’d love again until he met him.

As he made his way over to the bed, Barry shifted slightly, releasing the pillow as if he knew William was there. The mechanic gently brushed back a bit of hair from his love’s face as he laid down beside him, immediately accepting his new place in his arms.

---

“And here I thought you couldn’t do it,” Bartholomew commented as he looked up at the Funtime animatronics before him, all moving as they were programmed to do. His current focus was on Circus Baby, who looked eerily similar to one of William’s children.

William chuckled behind him, coming up to stand by his side. “You should never underestimate me, my dear,” he replied, kissing his lover’s temple gently. 

He was proud of the Funtimes for more than just one reason. Sure it was because they had been his most ambitious project yet, but it was also because it meant he’d won the bet they’d made all those years ago.

For a moment, he was unsure if he should proceed. But when Barry looked at him- like he was all the stars in his universe and everything beyond- he knew it had to be done.

Despite his new resolve, he was still nervous. William took a step back from Bartholomew, and a movement that made the man’s eyebrows scrunch in confusion, and bring a frown to his face. Well, that wouldn’t do.

“William?” Barry questioned, not noticing when William retrieved something from his pocket until he heard a quiet, “oh, fuck it,” and the object was thrust into his hands. It was a small, black box. He popped it open when he saw the look on his lover’s face, and gasped at the ring inside.

He looked back up at William, who was smiling brightly at him. “Darling, do you remember that bet we made? Remember how you said that if I won, you would become anything I wanted?”

Barry nodded slowly, remembering the moment as if it was yesterday. William’s smile widened. “Well, I want you to become my husband. Will you marry me?”

The “yes” that Barry blurted out was a little lost when he practically threw himself into William’s arms and pulled him into a happy, excited kiss. But he got the meaning well enough.

They didn’t have a huge wedding, just a small gathering of friends and whatever family they could tolerate. Elizabeth had been elated to be the flower girl, and even Michael managed to show up. 

Honestly, the best part was confusing people when they were suddenly both Mr. Afton.
