#How are the Sister Location endos

[outer-andromeda]

What 5 hours of puppet rigging does to a man (that's me I'm the man)

[the-real-aurora-borealis]

idk if im even comprehensible rn but I kinda wish help wanted 2 had more like, survival? minigames?

maybe its just me missing the old fnaf games but I think vr is a great place to have more of the older style minigames

[carrotkicks]

some Post-Scoop Mike + fill-in-the-blanks headcanons

more brainworms below the cut <3

OKOK about those Custom Night headcanons: Michael gets fired from Freddy's (1987 & 1992) because of "tampering with the animatronics" which only happens after the custom nights -> changing the animatronics AI settings is the aforementioned "tampering."

"Putting someone back together" assumedly means that the souls possessing each animatronic are in control of the robots without their endo's AI programming getting in the way. In Sister Location Michael put Elizabeth back together by removing Baby's AI chip, allowing her to "be free."

But in terms of Michael's current experience, he doesn't really know how remnant work yet (he doesn't know that to remove possession he needs to do things -- Happiest Day-- in the Flipside AND burn the metal) All he's got so far as to "The endo-programming has some kind of control over possession"

Which is why he tries changing the settings/internal components of the Animatronics of FNaF 1&2 instead of just going straight to arson like he does in FnaF 3

Then again Mike is like.. a cranky 50-something year old by then. he ain't having it with the clean and neat way.

If you guys have seen the Gibi's Good Idea Bad Idea mega lore video, the entire dual-narrative concept where Cassidy operates in the Flipside/atari minigame spirit realm while Mike works the Nights and fixes things in the physical realm. Literally makes me vibrate because YEAH that literally makes so much sense!!!! Golden Freddy and Mike working in parallel has always made sense. FNaF 1 being when they team up. Yeah.. yes. I just feel so insane about that concept, it's become a fundamental part of my understanding of this series.

Also I like his video because he ACTUALLY acknowledges the Flipside as a big part of the world in his version of the lore because the only thing i know of that actually does that is DSAF. f-ing dsaf...

DAYCARE ATTENDANT IN HELP WANTED 2

FUCK YESSSS!! I REALLY THOUGHT RUIN WOULD BE SUN AND MOON'S LAST MAJOR APPEARANCE BUT NO!! NEW TRAILER IS OUT AND ITS TIME TO ANALYSE!!!

WE FINALLY GET TO DO ARTS AND CRAFTS WITH SUN!! This seems to be a puzzle mini game where you make Paper Pals!! I'm guessing, if you mess up the Paper Pal, you get jumpscared (probably by Moon) or it could be a time trail. It does seem weirdly DARK in the clip for Sun to still be here, but maybe that was intentional? Or not.

(those red doors seem to have lightbulbs on them, maybe there's a mechanic where we need to stop the lights from going out?)

Edit: I have even more evidence to suggest that the lights will be a feature in this minigame! In the one clip, if you slow it down, you can see the lights flicker and the screen you are using switch off!

I bet this is the electricity going out, and if that happens, Moon will jumpscare you! A lot of HW minigames have a "do this task but also stop this thing from happening so you don't get jumpscared" like the mangle vent repairs, so this makes sense!

NEXT UP WE GOT THE CAROUSEL MINIGAME! Not much to say about this one, since Dawko already uploaded him playing it, but this is significantly higher quality! Moons animation is different, and more things could change from the Dawko version considering the fact that it was only a playtest and wasn't finished yet. I'm very excited to play it!

(I hope they upload the carnival music in better quality if they release the soundtrack for the game. that shit SLAPS)

Ok so this is a weird one. We seem to be training the endo (who has a VR HEADSET on) with a moon-themed memory card game. At first, I thought this would be in the daycare because of the background, but in another clip, we see the camera pan over and we are actually in the daycare-themed room in the endo section all the way back in security breach!

Moon has always had a weird unexplained connection to the endos. Broken endo parts in his room, Moon merch and Daycare structures in the endo basement thing, and even evidence of a scrapped area of the endo section that Moon was supposed to appear in. (There was an unused soundtrack and unused animations, check out the Lost Bits YouTube video on SB for more info)

I'm excited to see if they will explain more as to why these connections are here. Is Vanny using Moon to train the endos to do her bidding? I dunno, but I'll be waiting to find out.

Last image i could find is this. It sure is a sun, dunno if its actually connected to Daycare Attendant Sun or not. The way this shot is framed makes it look like a dark ride?? That, or the player character has the weakest flashlight imaginable.

But if this IS Daycare Attendant related, then it'll most-likely be the intro for the Paper Pals minigame! Still, UNREASONABLY dark if this is a sun-centric minigame, there's no way the dark won't be part of the gameplay mechanic in this.

If anyone recognises this specific structure from anywhere in the pizzaplex please tell me!!

Edit: There's also this weird glitch-transition effect when it cuts to DJ Music Man, what's that about? Reminds me of the BB World Arcade Game a little bit.

Ending thoughts:

So before we get too excited, let's not forget about Help Wanted 1. The minigames were just that, MINIGAMES. They weren't even canon, and depending where this game takes place in the timeline, I don't think these are either.

I mean, these are DCA normal models! Where we left him in the story they were:

In their RUINED models.

And 2. Eclipse! And therefore non-hostile.

And even if this takes place BEFORE Ruin, how on Earth would Moon be at a CAROUSEL? In Help Wanted 1, the game was made-up by Fazbear Entertainment to make light of the rumours going around about Freddys, although they were based on real events, the Glamrocks aren't ACTUALLY in the Sister Location basements. I'm not saying there's NO truth to the minigames, but we shouldn't accept everything they tell us at face value.

BUT that doesn't mean we won't get ANY Daycare Attendant lore crumbs. Firstly, we may possibly get voicelines in the minigames, if they don't decide to just reuse old ones.

Secondly, it's possible this game will have something similar to the Help Wanted 1 Tapes. Secrets outside of the minigames that tell us more about the canon lore! Bonnie, The Glamrocks, DCA, and other loose ends from SB may be mentioned through these secrets!

Thirdly, what I just said may be made more likely if the "we play as Cassies dad" theory is true. If Cassie takes after her dad in having sympathy for the animatronics (which I think she does) then he will probably have something to say about all the stuff Fazbear Entertainment has done to the animatronics. Especially since he WORKS there.

EITHER WAY I AM SO INSANELY EXCITED!! Unfortunately, it comes out on December 14th and I won't be able to play it till Christmas so TAG YOUR SPOILERS EVERYONE!!!

[beloved-cat-gremlin]

To all of us hoping that Gregory will be the protag of HW2, I have found a bit of info that might help fasten that theory.

I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed these things out before. So keep that in mind when reading.

Theory rambling incoming from here on out.

So a few weeks ago I got myself this lovely book here.

And while it is just a general cookbook with some fancy recipes in it, we all know that in true FNaF fashion there is more going on here than it seems.

And boy there sure is, even if some of these are rather obvious. Because throughout the entire book there are added pieces of paper with small notes that contain info on them.

And these little straps of notes are written by none other than Gregory himself. With the notes themselves indicating that these are post Security Breach as evident by these specific notes right here:

These are very clearly written by Gregory and all tie into the events of Security Breach.

(There are a few more notes mentioning how you should always keep your eyes on the Endos, grab an Ultimate Pass from Bonnie Bowl, Chica eating from the garbage, that you should grab a Party Pass for Fazerblast and use the blaster to stun animatronics, how Moon is and I quote "a nightmare animatronic" and to keep away from the Staffbot flashlights)

But there are even more notes in the book that do not follow the events of the game but rather talk about older versions of all the characters we all know and love. And not just that but Gregory is flat out describing mechanisms from previous games. Like this note:

Not to mention the note itself is attached to an image with the FNaF 1 office.

There is also notes on how you should watch Bonnie's every move, to never take your eyes off from Foxy's hook and how Foxy's eyepatch doesn't seem to stop him from hunting intruders.

But the most fascinating, and most random note to me, has to be this one:

A note from Gregory describing Ballora. I could kinda understand that Gregory might have gotten info on the classic four animatronics via searching stuff up, but the fact that Ballora is mentioned here, and only her from SL, makes me think that this is way more important than a random little easter egg.

Because let's take a look at the HW2 trailers again? We know for a fact that the three main games featured in this new one will be Security Breach, Pizza Sim and Sister Location.

And that is the important part, because Ballora was only and only in SL and nowhere else. Heck she was even the first animatronic teased in the first HW2 trailer.

Some people theorize that Cassie could be the one we play as in HW2 because of the Foxy ride shown in the second trailer, and with Cassie mentioning that she had been on this ride before, but here we have a game that includes Ballora and could be a potential GGY prequel where we play as Gregory.

Now we have a book with notes written by Gregory, mentioning Ballora. And not just that but HW2 could be where Gregory got all the info for the older animatronics from.

We do see that the new Foxy ride attraction includes the FNaF 1 office, which could be how Gregory knows Chica's specific attack pattern and also knows more about Bonnie and especially Foxy. Because outside of cutouts and references and images in SB and RUIN there is no way that any of these kids should really know much about Foxy.

Sure Cassie might know stuff from her dad but Gregory? There is no way he could have known most of this stuff. Unless he played a game prior to SB where he did get to know about the old animatronics.

And all of this isn't even me mentioning how Gregory, somehow, managed to dig up the old news paper articles from FNaF 1, 2 and 3 and put them into the cookbook.

Heck the first note you see from him is of the first location threatened to be shutdown because of the weird odor and mucus from the OG animatronics after the first MCI! Followed by the MCI report itself:

Other articles that were included are of the original help wanted ad in the paper where they are looking for a night guard. The article about the OG pizzaria closing down. The second help wanted poster from FNaF 2 which talks about the grand reopening in 1987. And the two news articles about Fazbear's Fright opening and then eventually burning to the ground.

Not sure how or why Gregory managed to get a hold on all of these and why he decided to include them in the cookbook. But they are there.

And that's kinda all the info I found myself. I'm not the best at doing these theory things but I'm trying.

Am I maybe digging for hints where there might not be any? Possibly.

Do I however feel that this could be important clues to figuring out more about Gregory? Oh absolutely.

[shiro-s2e2-erukinzu]

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 83... You have been warned...! 👌

[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]

OH MY GOD ENDO...!! HOW DO YOU KEEP DOING IT!?!? 😵 HOW DO YOU KEEP MAKING BANGER AFTER BANGER...!?!? 👏😆

So, to start things off...:

TWILIGHT DID GET SHOT!! 😱

So while he had the chance, Yuri kicked Twilight's gun out of his hands, and now they stand face to face...

While Twilight questions why he hesitated, Yuri (after calling Twilight "creepy" 😖) thinks THIS to himself...:

And with that, the two of them square off in AN AMAZING FIGHT!! 😆

After a few hits, Twilight grabs his belt and knocks Yuri with it (and somehow looking FINE AS HELL dress as Yuri...!! 😳):

But, just like near the end of the "Epic Monster Battle" song from Phineas and Ferb:

"THE OTHER GUY...

...GETS UP AGAIN...!!"

So Twilight and Yuri keep having this back and forth, where Twilight knocks Yuri down, but he keeps getting back up...!! (Just like in the song... 😖) And then, we get one of my favorite parts of this chapter...:

LIKE SISTER, LIKE BROTHER...!! THE BRIAR SIBLINGS ARE JUST A DIFFERENT BREED YO!! 😆

(Also, I loved Twilight's comment about being raised by Yor...!! 🤣)

After a few more hits (and Twilight freaking out about Yuri getting back up so much one last time), Yuri is finally down for the count... And it's time for Twilight to finish the job:

But...:

He couldn't bring himself to do it, and just leaves Yuri in the sewer...

This scene isn't only about Twilight having conflicting feelings, but it also shows one of the ways that Twilight still sees Yor as... An innocent civilian... Which means killing Yuri would take away the only "real" family Yor has left... Especially when Operation Strix is over with... And I believe that Twilight just couldn't bring himself to do that to her...

...

Moving on, we catch back up with Agent Mustache and Nightfall, who decide to change the plan after Wheeler doesn't show at their location...!

Agent Mustache disguises himself as the SSS agent that Twilight (disguised as Wheeler) met up with at the park and as he starts heading out, we finally see where Wheeler's been at this whole time:

Wheeler went to where him and the other SSS agents were gonna meet up (which tells me that Twilight was definitely the Wheeler that talked to Yuri back in Mission 81...! 😁), but no one showed up. Then, Wheeler spots Gascoigne (the guy that Agent Mustache is disguised as) and heads out...!

After that, Agent Mustache tries to lure Wheeler out, but the plan doesn't seem to be working until Nightfall looks over the area and spots someone suspicious in the crowd... It was in fact Wheeler, and now Nightfall is on the hunt...!!

Gosh, I just love seeing Nightfall in action...!! She's just SO BADASS...!! 😆 (When Twilight isn't around of course... 😌) The only thing that takes away from this badass image of Nightfall would be her earrings...

WHY DOES WISE HAVE TO PUT THEIR LOGO ON EVERYTHING, AND WHY DO THESE AGENTS WEAR THEM... EVEN. 👏 IN. 👏DISGUISE...!?!? 👏

That fact will never not be funny to me...!! 🤭

Anyway, Nightfall and the other agents chase after Wheeler and now have him cornered...:

And then, the chapter ends... And what an incredible chapter it was!! 😆 Mission 83 is shaping up to be a new favorite of mine, as well as this arc thus far...!! 👏😆👏😆👏😆

Honestly, I could probably gush about this chapter for longer, but I think I'll stop for now and just patiently wait for Mission 84...! ⏰⌛⌚ So until the next Mission... Take care and be safe out there y'all!! BYE!! 👋😄

[thatmooncake]

I really like the analyses you've been posting lately, you've got interesting thoughts and observations about the skrunklies c: No idea if you've already been asked about it, but I was curious about what are some of your thoughts on that poster, and what things from earlier games it resembles? (I only vaguely remember earlier FNAF lore - Also not trying to rush you, of course!)

This poster?

Well, it appears in a Moon-themed segment of Security Breach where we find a bunch of seemingly odd reprogrammed Glamrock endos who are being taught “right from wrong” (I use that term loosely here)…

And what’s interesting about this poster is the striking resemblance it bears to the bed from FNAF 4:

(Looking at the bedside lamp and the bedcover pattern, they do not look dissimilar from one another …)

It’s also interesting how the bed in the poster looks sort of like one of those adjustable hospital beds.

Back when FNAF 4 came out, a lot of people were arguing over whether the events of the FNAF games were in fact all a dream.

Then, some weird evidence in Sister Location pointed to the rooms in the FNAF 4 house where the protagonist of the game is having nightmares being “observatories” which appear on the security monitors in the private room.

At that point, a lot of people began to wonder if the protagonist of FNAF 4 was being experimented on or observed in a dreamlike state.

Then, the FNAF logbook kind of furthered this whole “dream observation” route of thinking.

Now, this being FNAF, the lore can be a little all over the place and probably a lot of things differ from game to game and from book to book. But still, I find it interesting how all this dream experiment-adjacent imagery appears in a Moon-themed area complete with a weird little TV showing an advertisement for moondrop sleepytime candy and a loooot of Moon posters and merch.

What’s extra weird and might just be a funny little cameo is that Security Breach isn’t actually the first FNAF game to feature moondrop sleepytime candy. Before that, we had Help Wanted. So it’s not impossible that Moon has been playing some part in all this before Security Breach (in some capacity at least).

And we know Moon in Somniphobia (I know this is from the book continuity but I find it fascinating) can use your dreams to draw you deeper and deeper into the dream sphere and basically steal your soul.

Now, I’m not saying it’s canon in the games, but with all that in mind, I love the idea that Moon might be used for some kind of dream experiments and potential soul snatching on the side. You could throw that into so many scenarios! Somniphobia style obsession, hypnotism, being torn between the conscious and unconscious, missing children that aren’t dead, missing adults that aren’t dead, an interconnected dream style consciousness that plays out like a video game. The whole idea just has a lot of potential!

[idsfantasy]

Do we have an idea as to why some designs are inconsistent? Besides the obvious springtrap to scraptrap there's also Ennard, molten Freddy and the blob. Ennard has a white mask in sister location but when pizzeria simulator comes along molten Freddy suddenly has a withered Funtime Freddy face then when security breach comes it's suddenly back to the normal looking Funtime Freddy head. Do we know why that is?

Scraptrap appears to be the result of William regrowing human parts of his body and the suit being modified and damaged to accommodate that. One of Remnant's canonical uses is healing, so given Scraptrap has human stuff Springtrap doesn't, that's what went on there. I also saw a neat theory that William used parts of Golden Freddy to modify/repair his suit, and that's how the Vengeful Spirit was able to latch on for UCN maybe.

Ennard split into Molten Freddy and Scrap Baby. Both of them found additional parts to modify themselves, leading to their appearances in FFPS

The Blob is not Molten Freddy, or at least not just Molten Freddy. It's much too big and has parts from a ton of animatronics that wouldn't be in there. I think it's likely that it's the result of animatronics from FNAF AR being drawn back to the place because Remnant and merging with the pile of endo (and human cuz Mimic) limbs and heads, with the parts on the Blob being representative rather than literally the parts of the original animatronics.

[twinanimatronics]

So here’s what @dana-chan-the-control-brain and I came to realize about the Mimic upon finally reading the Tiger Rock story (And this is stuff I’ll include in the video I’m composing too)

WARNING FOR TIGER ROCK SPOILERS

Also gonna go and tag @idsfantasy cause I’ve seen how you’ve also read the books and craft similar theories to us

But essentially:

The Mimic1 program that was converted to the Storyteller (which is later removed only after 3 weeks) and the Mimic in the Tales epilogues and Ruin DLC are one and the same

Let me explain

In the epilogues, the original Mimic is first mailed to the Pizzaplex alongside their new animatronics and gets programming added by this one dude who thinks he’s a hotshot techbro to do his and the maintenance crew’s job of taking apart the endos in the old Pizzeria and put them into a pile.

And we know how that turns out.

Mimic considers humans as endos for dismantling and ends up tearing apart several construction workers before the place is sealed in concrete and then our group of teens that break in later.

Since the series isn’t finished yet, there’s still a lot that could’ve happened between the epilogues and the main Tales stories before the events of the game.

This is what I think happened.

After murdering all the teens (sans Lucia if she somehow survives past the next epilogue) the Mimic is shut down and just left in the old Pizzeria until it’s eventually found and remade into the Storyteller after being reduced to a torso and a head with multiple grafted on arms that are then ripped off by the CEO asshole dude who murdered Edwin by locking him inside the tree so he’s suffocate to death.

Being connected to the network, the Mimic is able to project itself into AR/VR events going on like Kai’s (the protagonist of Tiger Rock)

Mimic chooses a white Tiger as its fursona because a white tiger was David’s favorite stuffed animal.

His name is Tiger Rock because it’s just a combination of Tiger and Glamrock (ala Glamrock Chica and Glamrock Freddy).

All the animatronics in his projected future Pizzaplex travel by slide, the same way David and the Mimic did in their factory home.

And, of course, the Storyteller/Tiger Rock iteration of the Mimic still has that programed notion for ripping off limbs, even if it is just in AR/VR, considering how the story ends.

The Storyteller tree and the Mimic get uninstalled and removed from the plex

But it doesn’t LEAVE the plex

It gets tossed into the garbage dump level of storage where still functioning broken down animatronics and endos roam around like zombies that we see in the Bobbiedots

Here, the Mimic rebuilds itself somehow using its original torso and the endo skeleton head that was beneath the white tiger animatronic one as a base. Which would explain why it looks like even more of a mishmash of different endo models despite having been previously rebuilt before.

BECAUSE IT IS.

The Mimic is then living in the trash with the Post-it note room as its main base.

IDK what happens afterwards tho between this point and the events of the main game but it eventually ends with the Mimic once again sealed behind concrete like it is in Ruin.

Just further below the Pizzaplex than it had been previously:

Under the Pizzaria Simulator pizzaria it was originally trapped in and and under the underground Sister Location storage facility.

[theman-and-themachine]

how does remnant in ur AU work? (this is also purely bc I wonder if anyone’s is as intricate as mine 😭😭😭😭)

OUGH THIS IS A WONDERFUL QUESTION. And now i really want you to share your ideas too. If u want. Id love to hear them :3c

OKAY BUT ANYWAYS i cherrypick canon and then make up random bullshit.

So so so so so I think it depends a lot on How it's created (and maybe how its consumed.)

General death, Outside of the possessed-object. I think that ghosts will form or memories will linger, but don't nessecarily possess any sort of object. BUT. If they are stuffed into something or close in some sort of way, they possess that object and are "bonded" to it.

Uhhhh i do rlly like the idea of two spirits in Golden Freddy. I think even jusy Dying by something can cause you to possess it.

I think the more gruesome the death, the more fear, especially the more prolonged, the more remnant is made.

I think Cassidy was killed AFTER being stuffed into Fredbear/golden freddy, she was killed by (at least primarily) a springlock accident. I don't think she died fast at all. And also she was basically melded into her Possessed Object. (CC is...very different case to this. Died because of fredbear(maybe techincally inside him), prolonged death. But obiviously not as extreme. I think he'd be very whispy and weak compared to the rest of the ghosts)

Like springtrap. I think William has a lot of other shit going on tho. I think that guy was injecting and eating and smearing remnant on himself at all oppurtunity. And that's one reason why he's so... persistant.

BUT ALSO I THINK A LOT OF IT IS FUCKING. MENTAL..MINE OVER MATTER TAKEN TO THE EXTREME. I think Charlie is in this boat. She is like, directly a familial (sorta) murder. That is a man i knew. An adult i trusted. And now i'm dead. Hooray. I think all the emotion towards Charlie's death kept her around. I just think shes like the main characger amd i love her and im so glad for her story signifigance.

remnant added onto a living being in some way increases their lifespan. And the more you eat the more it Effects you, and especially you get more negative symptoms

Like henry FOR SURE has some remnant in him. It has done something to expand his lifespan. But also I think, even one or two "doses" definently fucked something up in him.

Like, you live longer, your Soul or whatever is using other souls like a fucking battery. But also I think general body functions are sloooowed and thats gonna have effects on people.

Michael is a corpse. Remnant doesn't stop the body from rotting. It slows it. The bodies in the suits still rotted, michael is still rotting. I think he's a very weird case. Like, the metal he techincally shouldve possessed has gone and left the building. He is possessing his body, which is well. A body. And not a piece of metal. I think he gets weird out-of-body experiences a lot. I believe he HAS to replace and repair himself, probably with metal and scrap parts (he certainly has some metal left over from ennard. At least as some structual supports. ("Whoops sorry buddy i broke your femur. Lemme just... replace that")

UHHH BUT ALSO BUT ALSO

I think it manifests as molten metal or oily grime coming from inside the animatronics. Like something fucking exploded in there and is constantly on the walls of the suits and metal endos . Even after they clean it and clean it.

(There's fun ways to read the puppets Tear Tracks with this. I think theyre there to ignore or hide said muck)

:3c i think it effects Bugs especially. I think flies and such love this blood-remnant muck and eat it and gonfucking insane for their litrle fly brains and have more flies and the maggots eat it and continues continues continues.

Fazbears smells SO BAD by fnaf 1.

OH MY GOD LZIZZIEE AI ACTUALLY i actually. Okay.

I think the sister location animatronics are Fundementally not optimal for getting remnant. Cassidy is at the top of our scale here, slow death within the Object of Possession.

Sister location guys just sort of snatch them up and i'm assuming that kills them pretry instantly. Instant death, within the object of possession

I thinkt his is a good reason why Baby seems to.... detached?? Different?? Than Lizzie. Also maybe some of that is AI stuff but i think a good part of it is the killing process.

OKAY OKAY SHARE UR IDEAS NOW ALSO, DUDE. IF U WANT.

and if u have any more questions for me, ask away :3c pls. I love questions and talking

[dreambones]

*Kicks door down* I finally thought of an AU, here is my Second Location AU (because sadly Sister Location is already a thing).

So we know from Freddy dialogue when you are with him down in the creepy Endo tunnels, that it’s very likely there are other Freddy animatronics out there in other locations, and that that is a thought that makes him go into some sort of existencial crisis and it’s probably a bad idea to have for example, two Freddys met each other because they probably would fry their circuits in some way.

Based on that, there could be other pizzaplexes, maybe not as big because that’s a lot of money, but there could be smaller versions here and there.

This AU happens in one of the smaller Freddy Fazbear Pizza businesses, focused primarily in a normal Daycare and secondarily in a Pizza dinner closer to their original ones. This place has it’s own set of animatronics that are not corrupted (yet) and act how they are “supposed to”.

Everything is normal till the Mega Pizza Plex burns down and collapses, and management decides to send the remains of Virus Sun/Moon to this smaller Pizzeria because it’s safer than a normal warehouse and they had to find a solution fast and this was it. Originally they assume V!Daycare Attendant is useless and could be used as spare parts, but before being officially decommissioned, they “revive” and starts interacting with this other plex Sun/Moon + Y/N.

I don’t know where I am going with this idea but it sounded fun to have other dynamics to play with. Also made two different Y/N because even if I know the default in this AUs is the grey neutral character, I don’t have as much fun drawing that than a bit more personalized character, but might jump between both here and there.

And that’s it for now, I hope you like it :D

[and-stir-the-stars]

okayyy, posting all the random Ruin details that won't leave my brain alone

The names of the security nodes. They're called "parent" and "child" nodes, and in order to deactivate the parent nodes, you have to deactivate the child nodes first. I don't know how it's relevant that you have to get rid of the kids before you can get rid of the parents (parents who also happen to be shaped like bunnies??), but that feels important?? They weren't called parent and child nodes by accident; that was a conscious choice.

During the final chase scene at the end of the DLC, you can unlock a hidden ending by standing in front of a Fredbear or Freddy (Hard to tell which one it is) cut-out and putting on the VANNI mask. Whenever you put on the mask, you hear Gregory say: "Cassie! I'm okay! I found a spot to hide!"-- which is the exact same voice line that Gregory says earlier in the game, right after Cassie tells "Gregory" to run because Roxy is coming for him. This specific ending is making me lose my mind because 1) that reused Gregory voice line surely means that the actual Gregory isn't talking to Cassie during that ending, 2) the Freddy head from the Good Vanny ending has clearly been replaced by Glam Helpy, and 3) the ice cream that Gregory is holding during this DLC ending is CLEARLY not the same ice cream that Gregory was holding in the Good Vanny ending of Security Breach. In Security Breach, Gregory is holding a popsicle shaped like a Freddy's head. In Ruin, Gregory is holding an actual ice cream cone. So, if that's not actually Gregory talking to Cassie or showing her a place to hide, then what does the ending MEAN? Is Cassie just... giving up and pretending Gregory really is there for comfort as she lets the Endo kill her? Why would Cassie see Vanessa in the ending if she doesn't even know who Ness is, tho?

There's no obvious double meaning for the game's name, as far as I can tell? For previous games, the titles double meanings have been pretty obvious once you start playing. Sister Location shows you where Mike's lost sister is. Pizzeria Simulator was genuinely only simulating a pizzeria even in-game. Help Wanted showed Glitchtrap wanting help getting out of the digital world. The title's double meanings are basically handed to you on a silver platter. I really don't know what the double meaning for Ruin is, though? Cassie's ruined faith/relationship with Gregory by the DLC's end, maybe?

There's a Missing Poster for Gregory down in Roxy's Raceway. Not just a missing poster for Gregory, but a poster with Gregory looking exactly as he did in Security Breach, band-aid on his cheek and all. Which could be a sign that someone in Fazbear Entertainment is searching for Gregory, using Security Footage from his night in the Plex to find him, buuuut... that idea is probably invalidated if Gregory was also working with/for the people who installed the MXES system, which it was sorta implied that he was since he knows so much about it? Assuming the Gregory we hear during the ending even IS the real Gregory...

Speaking of that may-or-may-not-be Gregory from the end of the game, just. why does his voice cut out when he says "follow [blank]'s instructions"? Whose instructions?? Gregory is the one giving us the instructions, after all? And why does the line "follow instructions" give me chills? Who is his friend that has schematics on the building? Is it Vanessa? what is going on?

[theoneandonlyyeti]

ok so im going through fnaf lore timeline (mostly made by matpat) but I've come to a contradiction that i need help solving

this ended up being really long so I'm putting it under a cut

so basically according to matpat and also like all the stories put together- after Elizabeth dies and then william notices that baby's eyes have changed from blue to green he's like hm maybe that was what i saw when he had applied as a day guard back when fnaf 2 location opened.

like he went back there to kill more kids and he noticed that the withered animatronics were moving around and seemed to be guided by the puppet and so he was like hm weird

back to baby and everything- he was like oh maybe this is related so he thought hed go back to that location and grab all the endoskeletons (seen in that fnaf 2 cutscene where he lures them all back and takes them apart coming from the hidden door)

he takes the endos back to his workshop down in the sister location and melts the endos down and puts it into funtime freddy's new endoskeleton and yada yada yada it comes to life but not the same as baby bc its like four kids in one mixture smoothie of remnant

then he goes back for more and the ghosts of those kids are still there in the pizzeria and corner him and that's when the springlock failure happens and he gets stuck there for years rotting

fast forward to michael finding sister location and getting scooped and then deciding to go fix everything we know we play as him in fnaf 1 and 2 bc golden freddy says its me (his brother saying hi) and that he was fired for his smell (scooped and dying flesh and all that)

and he goes to fnaf 2 location and does the nightshift BUT he has a run in with the withered animatronics too!! but they were dismantled years ago by William??? how the heck does that work?? and they are still gunning for him bc he's an afton and whatever

but like idk if im missing something in the storyline or some piece of evidence or something but like how are the withered animatronics still in the fnaf 2 location by the time Michael gets there like how are they still together and not dismantled? if William took their endoskeletons?

like did william just not take all of their endoskeletons and only parts of them? like why chica has no arms and bonnie has no face? but then why would William only take those parts right?

or did like someone go back and put them back together? bc henry had to go back after william broke in and then got springlocked and that's when he boarded up the back room with him in it- did henry put the animatronics back together with new endoskeletons?

and if he did that- how and why are the withered animatronics withered like that in fnaf 2 like how did chica lose her arms and bonnie her face?

i mean the point of having the night guards at closed places is to keep like vandals and people from messing with the stuff and stealing so maybe it was just some random people who thought it would be funny to take the arms from chica and the face from bonnie?

i feel like im missing something important bc none of this is adding up...

[springtrappd]

nearly done w/ hw2 :) i haven't looked at any secrets guides (beyond "how do i get the fazwrench" lmao), but i've found most of the coins i think? collected the main band's fazforce figures, gotten a couple collectibles, found the bonnie memory and the secret areas in the log ride and cleared most of the levels -- only have:

fazcade: fazerblast fnaf1-3

staff only: first aid: scrap baby, fizzy faz nights 3-5, endo warehouse

sister location: breaker room: hard reset, office: puppet master, office: funtime gang, office: job interview

...to go, then it's onto whatever endings i can find! unfortunately, most of the levels i have left are the absolute hell on earth ones, so. Wi(i)sh me luck. </3

I WANNA HEAR THE LORE DUMP PLEAS

I HAD TO COPY PASTE AGAIN PLS WORK WITH ME

ITS ABOUT MY OC ENDO!! I REALLY LOVE HIM <333 BE GENTLE WITH ME THE INSPO SOURCE IS OBVIOUS BUT IM SHY WITH IT BECUASE OF HOW BASHED PEOPLE GET WHEN THEY DO THIS

ENDO BACKSTORY:

Endo was born and raised in Japan, moving to the city he lives in now after turning ten after his grandfather passed and left a Self Defence training school in his hands. Endo took charge of said school, and ran it with Cinder when he turned 14 as he was not yet old enough to own it himself. Shortly after he was 17 and given full ownership of the small school withint he town, he got involved in an incident that would change the course of his life.

Endo was exposed to a concentrated solution of nitroglycerin, a highly unstable and explosive liquid. Despite the solution mixing into the water within his body, he didnt go through with getting properly helped, soon gaining the ability to generate and control fire and smoke at just the age of 18, once he hit 20 he learned explosions and lava as well.

Endo quickly realized that he had the power to generate and control these elements, and he struggled to control his abilities. With his arrogant and hot- blooded nature, his abilities often ran wild, causing chaos and destruction wherever he went. However, he slowly learned to harness his powers and use them for good, becoming a powerful Vanguard in his world.

It's an even more impressive considering he's only over 20 years old with so much time and means to improve, and yet he's already rubbing shoulders with the top Champions.

Concept: The world-build that Endo lives in is akin to a stereotypical Hero/Villain concept. Terms were changed overtime to try and balance out the cliche view on those within.

CINDER

TEACHER, BUSINESS PARTNERS, CHILDHOOD FRIENDS.    

Within the growing lore of the world dynamic and their overall relationship, Cinder met Endo shortly after his 'awakening' arc. A arc inwhich Cinder escaped from a coma-induced tomb within a lava rock after his own lore took place. After this awakening, Cinder and Endo met in highschool, Cinder being a few years older than Endo. It was here Endo explained to Cinder that, considering he is not yet old enough to own his business, yet he is old enough to work, he is offering the Self Defence school to Cinder to run until he is. This helped grow their connection as they grew, as when Endo was old enough, Cinder had since graduated from CTC, and was in the process of purchasing the entire CTC school itself, making Endo's school a small sister location for those not yet prepared for the hardcore training the CTC provides. As you can guess, their bond is extremely strong, and due to the events explained here, Endo was offered a spot in the CTC, which he passed with flying scores and, despite also being offered to be a Champion, he currently is a Vanguard while still teaching in his own school.

CTC: Champion Training Course is a course inwhich people who have abilities go to train to help better understand and expand them, know how to properly use them, but also to start training to be next in line for a Vanguard or Champion title. However if they do not meet the criteria needed to show they are responsible or confident in their training, they will instead leave the course and will return back to their life before the course with just a better grip on their abilities. This course offers free service to those who often are just curious to what they behold

THEN TO EXPLAIN THE CHAMPION / VANGUARD THING ITS THAT CHAMPIONS ARE PRO HEROS, VANGUARDS ARE JUST HEROS THAT NORMALLY GET CALLED WHILE THE PROS DEAL WITH THE BIGGER ISSUES

BC IN THIS WORLD IF U ARENT TRAINED U CANNOT BE HERO

BUT OFC THERES STILL OTHER MINOR PPL. LIKE I HAVE A GUY WHO IS IN THIS WORLD TOO WHO IS A CRYPTIC HUNTER AND THE ONLY POWERS HE HOLDS ARE WITCH LIKE POWERS LIKE THE WHOLE CLICHE BREWING POT SHIT

THEN OFC A CRYPTIC FOR THE CRYPTIC HUNTER!!! I HAVE MORE TOO

ITS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE A SLICE OF LIFE STORY

[charlie-artlie]

just got back from the fnaf movie, i really need to go to bed but i have to get some thoughts out NOW 🫠

positives

movey good C:

matthew lillard was just so so good god bless

the animatronics were amazing, i really wasn’t expecting the scene where they all played and had fun together????? it was such wish fulfillment i was just sitting there like is this real

(on that note HEY. someone had better gif that fronnie scene were theyre just playing and dancing together. 👉 get on it giffers)

maybe controversial but i liked the matpat and coryxkenshin cameos a lot they were funny and didnt detract from the flow too much

the jumpscares were not terribly hacky like i thought theyd be, and the balloon boy one was really good 👏

also IM NOT CRAZY THAT WAS A CIRCUS BABY REFERENCE RIGHT??? AAAAAAAAAA

all of the parts and service room was so cool tbh, all of the creepy old endos and parts, the little fetch easter egg, all of it so so good

the easter eggs in general were really fun, im looking forward to watching this movie be micro analyzed for years to come

the springlock scene 🤌 cinema…..

that scene were william roundhouse kicks mike is just like. so amazing. this is going on the positives. i cant believe they did that. what an amazing movie.

in general the lighting and sound design were very nice (i mean as a layperson i thought they were nice idk XD)

THE SONG WAS IN IT THEY DID THE FUCKING THING 😭👏

negatives

no puppet?

i feel like this story suffers from the same issue TSE has, where by straying from the games canon you’ve actually made things so much more complicated? while some things definitely made sense (vanessa being williams daughter was a nice touch and made sense for both characters fight me, also a great nod to how shes mind controlled in game canon) others feel like they just made things more complicated? like, why was garrett just a random kid in a random campsite? why was william there, why did he kill him, why do the ghost kids know him? i guess you could say, if there is a reason, it will be revealed in a later movie? but thats so many unnecessary steps when all you had to do was have garret go missing from a freddys location (like in TSE). like, mikes brothers disappearance is linked to freddys, thats why he needs to work there, you could save a lot of time aunt jane ate up. speaking of.

its such a hilarious plot hole that they just totally move past aunt janes death. like this guy is fighting tooth and nail for custody of his sister against his aunt and she shows up dead at his house and nobody is suspicious or cares. also he shows up at the hospital with a stabbed cop who’s apparently in a coma and cant verify his story at all?? the plot armor on this man!!

i realize they needed to put abby in danger at some point or else why would she even be here, but having the ghost kids want to ghostify her doesnt make a whole lotta sense >_> like they kept saying william was confusing them but they never really showed that, golden freddys spirit kid seemed pretty aware of the situation the entire time.

that one jumpscare with the kid with black goopy eyes was pretty silly lmao. feel like they could have captured the creepypasta vibe better

this is semi positive and negative, but i really really liked vanessa’s creepiness i just wish theyd leaned into it a bit more? that scene where shes staring lovingly up at the animatronics and then asks mike to dance is just so 👌 like girl what is wrong with you fr 🥰 but then her behaviors dont make much sense after that, i was a bit confused as to when she was supposed to be trying to get mike to stay and when she was supposed to be warning him away.

the writing in general was definitely a bit weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ eh

sorry if my negatives seem like bummers, but i really enjoy picking apart movies i like, and i tend to like things more when there is stuff to pick apart! (sensory fandom experience…..) in general i really enjoyed the movie and i think most fnaf fans will! it’s fun cheesy horror that has a lot of love for the source material without trying to BE it, which wouldn’t be possible anyway

man theres definitely other things i could say but i really have to go to sleep now 😭 gn!!!
