#HSGHXIKSKS YEAHHHHHH.

[mechanicalinfection]

i have many au questions so I'm going to ramble my thoughts 👀 are other people in the universe aware things are falling apart? Can they see or sense the glitches the way Afton can? Or is it specifically just him that reality is falling apart for? If it's the former, what does that means for all the other people in the world, do they die? would they even realize before it happened? If papers can randomly be pulled from one reality and dropped into the place Afton fell into, can random living people be pulled from different realities and dropped there accidentally/intentionally too? Are the other spirits still around? Or did "Something" inadvertently destroy them when they broke reality to get to Afton? Can "Something" actually remember the others and the reason they're so angry with him? or is it just the raw emotions left behind? Oh and if reality is only falling apart for Afton specifically, how do others react to him slipping out of reality and disappearing? Or is there anyone at all that would even notice him missing? (either his kids that were looking for him, henry, or even the phone dude at fazbear frights?) Which actually- where in the canon timeline would this AU fall? Or does it have any major canon diversion pre-reality breaking down? (sorry that was longer than I meant for it to be)

UAGSHHSSSHHSJS I know who you are anon. I know. :], ANYWAYS UH

are other people in the universe aware things are falling apart? Can they see or sense the glitches the way Afton can? Or is it specifically just him that reality is falling apart for? If it's the former, what does that means for all the other people in the world, do they die? would they even realize before it happened?

it's a bit of a mixed bag, others can see, others cannot see. And it's completely random on who it picks to be able to see the glitches, and even be able to do something about it. The people aren't really able to do much for the others who aren't able to see them, as they're going to be far long gone anyways. This is all about survival and their own safety. For the people who aren't able to see them, they'll be deleted from existence once the glitches start to catch up on them, they would end up being forgotten completely. And there's no way to be able to get them back. And I'd imagine they would, just for a split second before their code and function completely gets devoured by the glitch.

If papers can randomly be pulled from one reality and dropped into the place Afton fell into, can random living people be pulled from different realities and dropped there accidentally/intentionally too?

I'd imagine people can be pulled down by the reality that Afton is in, but usually it's more of a rare case. As despite it being possible, normal living people wouldn't be able to survive being stuck inside there, as you'd lose track of your time and everything that's logical entirely. But… There are some cases where other things are able to appear.

Are the other spirits still around? Or did "Something" inadvertently destroy them when they broke reality to get to Afton?

The other spirits are still around, but not in the way you think. "Something" didn't destroy them, but consumed their existence In a way that makes it more powerful, and adds more onto their rage. The others are still there, they're partially fused with "Something", even if they didn't want this. They had no choice, and overtime their humanity will be completely stripped away from them as well.

Can "Something" actually remember the others and the reason they're so angry with him? or is it just the raw emotions left behind?

All that "Something" remembers is the fact that Afton needs to be put through Hell for what he's done, it doesn't remember why though, their rage and vengeance just consuming them to the point where it has forgotten what happened to it, to all of them. Just that Afton needs to pay.

Also, fun fact! This is what Something views Afton whenever they encounter each other. :]

Oh and if reality is only falling apart for Afton specifically, how do others react to him slipping out of reality and disappearing? Or is there anyone at all that would even notice him missing? (either his kids that were looking for him, henry, or even the phone dude at fazbear frights?)

Ohhh that's an interesting one actually… Well since the au stuff isn't set in stone, if it is only falling apart for Afton, people would definitely start to notice his disappearance, but after a while things would start to go back to normal, for them anyway. And normal as in they forget about Afton, and they forget that he even existed, and he may or may not just get replaced by something else to fill the story. But if in a different scenario of them reacting to him slipping out of existence I'd imagine it would definitely fuck things up in the canon, as this wasn't supposed to happen. The events that were supposed to be layed out, never end up happening, and the original storyline ends up becoming a complete jumbled unfinished mess. Michael would definitely be trying to find a way to be able to fix everything, especially as he'd be one, if not, the only few people who's actually able to see these things happening.

Which actually- where in the canon timeline would this AU fall? Or does it have any major canon diversion pre-reality breaking down?

It isn't completely set in stone yet, but it does have its canon moments and non canon moments. I'd imagine personally, it falls on perhaps after he ends up getting out of the safe room, and being put into the fright. And for the fright, it isn't really… the original fright to be specific? I'd imagine it would have its huge expansions, as it had bigger plans set in mind. I'm not quite sure yet… but you all would definitely find out soon :]

ALSO THANK YOU LIKE AGAIN FOR MAKING ME BE ABLE TO RAMBLE AND MAKE DOODLES OF THIS AU HDHBNSKISHD PLEASE if you have any questions of any aus of mine ask me!
