I uh, totally forgot to post this a week or so ago, so here you go, the relationship chart for the Afton twins, Charlie and the MCI/K(D)CI Kids! (Sorry, I would've added Mike and Will but this thing is big enough as is, I'll make a part two if it's requested enough)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'll add more of the relationships in the reblogs, but as of now here are the ones for Charlie, Liz and Evan. Again, if you have any questions abt my lore or the characters just ask me in the comments or in the ask box preferably.
Also um I better not see this on Pinterest that would be awkward

Princess! (And Noble, of course.) :)
I intended making her skin tone darker, but I actually like her with just black hair.
I’ve also formulated some new lore, too… 1) there’s a hardware item outside of their world that is holding up the glitched villagers, 2) almost always, the cause of the glitches has to do with a villager getting too close to breaking the game as a defense mechanism; similarly the kingdom ostracized the glitched characters not out of classism, but as a secretly coded feature to avoid further complications.
I think I thought of a third piece of lore, but I forgot.

Some concepts of dragons from the Center - the largest squad of Scavengers, led by the leader of the entire gang, Varan.
All members of this group wear golden or gilded rings on their horns, by which one can recognize the type of job a particular dragon has: a ring on the left horn is typical for messengers, on the right - for Varan’s closest circle, the leader himself wears rings on both of his horns. The leader's associates are responsible for his safety, participate in collecting information and resolving arising conflicts, carry out the leader's orders and generally have greater power in the gang, but what about the messengers? Messengers are dragons that serve as a link between the Center and the rest of the gang. They periodically visit their units, compile reports on their activities and transfer the necessary material assistance, after which they return to the Center and transmit information to Varan. The rest of the time, they are not much different from ordinary gang members and do not have special privileges. All messengers are responsible for at least 2 squads, the only exception being Newt, to whom only the Morticians are assigned. Therefore, he joins them from time to time as a temporary member and also helps other messengers in their work. Be that as it may, no one will allow him to transfer to the Morticians on a permanent basis, even if he would ever really wanted it - over the years he has become too good at drawing up detailed and accurate reports.

CW: mentions of overdose
Dumb band lore in one spot so it's not scattered.
Planetary Demise was a synth metal band. Staring Orin as lead singer, Trace on synth, and Viscera as backup vocals and guitar.
Orin introduced the band to Quill who became their drug dealer. They started off as friends but Orin's power hunger and self destructive nature quickly started putting a wedge in things. Orin only sang while Trace and Viscera wrote songs and picked up any other slack because Orin refused to bring in another member.
Viscera quickly married a groupie who never stopped her secret flings with Orin and who later died from an OD due to Orin and Quill's partying.
Trace had became the best of friends with Viscera and slowly developed a major crush on him, the two were inseparable. Trace never acted on their feelings respecting their friends marriage.
As their fame grew Orin's alcohol and drug addictions progressed causing him to lash out at the two. Becoming an abuser to Trace with purposely getting their pronouns wrong and just saying derogatory things about Trace being intersex once he found out in a changing room.
After Orin and Quill got scared and abandoned Viscera's wife Tilly during an OD causing her death, the three bandmates scattered.
After 20yrs it's now assumed that Orin is in jail for constant drunken fights. Trace is now a solo synth artist frequently doing live music for clubs and fetish fashion shows. Viscera is now a bartender and has learned some medic skills and is determined to help with any OD in his bar...he hasn't lost another life yet and also took up writing trashy romance novels.
The two recently reconnected and are currently dating.

✂ for the ask game
‘Innocence was burned to ash that night. Although the child was finally given a home, the damage was already done.’
Having lost his mother to child birth and his father dead, betrayed and murdered, Theo was raised in a convent during his early years. One day, a bishop of high reputation came for him, desiring the divine power Theo inherited from his mother; the blood of the flame of heaven, The Phoenix. Greed gave way to Violence one fateful night, forcing young Theo to fight for his life. He was recused by a man of the shadows, who carried him away to safety, eventually raising Theo as his own child.
Even though something good came out of it, the memory of the flames has haunted Theo for many years…

Our DM just laid down the first bit of major lore for our campaign, and by the gods I'm gushing over all of it. Not only has it been five years since I last played Dungeons And Dragons, but to come back to this game that I was made fun of for playing and liking and be met with open arms and an incredible story so far is absolutely incredible.
I've never spent so much time making a character for anything, never really gave them lore or purpose like I have Dante. Hell nobodies ever been so helpful with my characters via feedback and love for them like our DM has been. Dante is like a piece of me that'll forever be cherished because someone took a chance on me and became my friend and helped me get motivated to create him.
Believe me when I say I'm passionate about all of this and can't wait to keep posting updates and story from this campaign. Even if it's only a few people who see it, it's still something I'm passionate and love talking about.
Thank you everyone who's liked my blogs and especially thank you to our DM for giving me a reason to find myself again.

What is the exact relationship between the spirits of the children in your interpretation? As well as between them and the Afton Kids spirits in turn? Would be nice to learn a bit more about their interactions.
Sorry for the long-ish response, but this is a very lore filled answer, so if you wanna find out about my FNAF remaining lore, just click to see more!
To answer your question, none of the kids actually knew each other (with the exception of the Afton Kids and Charlie, and the Bennet Twins with Jonathan) during their lifetime. So when they all started popping up as ghosts in the pizzeria, it was pretty awkward to have your first meeting with someone be when you're both dead.
Regardless, though, they all eventually warmed up to each other! Being trapped as a ghost for an indefinite amount of time can be made a little less worse when you aren't alone in this. (It's especially kinda sad when some of the kids experience friendship for the first time as ghosts 😭😭)
The kids all have their own 'best friend(s)' and least favorite people or whatever, eventually I'll make a little relationship chart to further explain things!
Some do have their little squabbles with each other from time to time, considering they are still children, but they don't actively hate each other, they sure do hate the Afton kids however!
They especially hate Evan and Mike. They don't really know Elizabeth since she's in Circus Baby's. So they're just hating her cause of association (these are some hating ass kids 💀)
For a while, they didn't really mind Evan since they didn't know who his dad was or who he even was (and it finally seemed like he was making friends that *weren't* toys!)
That changed once they did find out, cause yk they're full of vengeance and angry and stuff. So he was casted out AGAIN and was put in a 'dormant' state by Cassidy so that she could fully control Golden Freddy. They fully blame him and Mike for making William kill them. As I said before, Charlie does NOT blame the Afton kids at all (because at the end of the day William might've killed her by accident, but he decided to kill other children of his own free will)
So, TLDR, the MCI and KCI/DCI kids get along as much as they can, and they hate the Aftons with a burning passion cause 'Sins of The Father' type shit

World aNu Lore Dump
So this is a rewrite of a Lore Dump I did awhile ago, so please enjoy!!(long)
-
In the beginning of the beginning, there was darkness, and in that darkness, there was light. The light revealed 3 Celestial Spirits, together they harnessed the new born light, and with their combined power created a world, a World aNu.
aNu was cold, it was enveloped in the dark, and was empty. The Celestials decided that wasn’t what the world should be, using their power to become the 3 Lights of Life, The Sun, The Moon, and The Stars, together they create Matter, the building block of Life.
The Stars provide, The Sun creates, and The Moon maintains.
Each Celestial, using the Matter of the universe, begin molding their world, creating wonderful creatures and environments to live, grow, and evolve. The World became a paradise full of Floral and Fauna beyond imagination.
However, in the far reaches of the World, a dark entity begins to take form where the light never reached. The Dragon, has awoken. The Dragon sees the celestials world, and deems it unworthy. With the use of Dark Matter, capable of converting regular Matter into itself, the Dragon aims to control the World, corrupting all Matter into Dark Matter to control like a hivemind.
The Dragon prepares, concentrating its power to soon destroy, and rebuild aNu in their image. But to do that, the Dragon must take control of the Celestials, as for as long as One of the Celestials is Alive, the Cycle of Life will never ceases, thus never in full control.
The Celestials begin countermeasures, creating warriors to protect their World from the influence of Dark Matter. These warriors are now known as, Pixls, beings with the power of (irl) Stars to protect and delay the Dragons Rampage.
The Celestials, attached to their world, decide to reincarnate into new beings together to stay hidden within their created world forever. Before they did, they created 3 Guardians to watch over and protect the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars in their new separated lives.
-
As time passes, the Celestials, reborn time and time again, begin to lose more and more their past memories with each incarnation, soon no longer remembering their past as Celestials making locating new incarnations difficult. The Guardians serving as their last and only reminder to their true origins.
Soon the Dragon makes haste. In a quick, but devastating show of power, the Dragon attacks. The Dragon Rampaged across aNu, destroying and corrupting all Matter in its wake. Pixls across the World came to aid in battle, but when the Dark Matter overwhelms the Pixls, they Explode, spreading more Dark Matter in the process. The Pixls fought hard, but in the end, became nearly extinct.
The Spirit of the Stars was taken under the Dragons control, 1 of the 3 Lights of Life was lost to the Influence. Their Guardian tries their best to save the Stars, but is nearly destroyed by the one they tried to protect, Dark Matter began to envelop the Guardian. However, instead of exploding like their Siblings, the Guardian persisted.
The stars In the night sky begin to fade. The Dragon, as well as the Stars and their Guardian, begin a mass extinction event, in search of the remaining celestials.
The Moon and their Gaudian began their assault to possibly defeat and imprison the Dragon. With the support of the Entirety of aNu, they are able to weaken the Dragon.
However, the Stars intervened, causing the Moon to take a lethal blow, and soon begins to die from Dark Matter. As they give their final breaths, they offer their Guardian their cloak, Atlas, a Mystical cape formed and passed down by Previous Moons, as a final resort to imprison the Dragon, and save aNu.
The Guardian of the Moon, the Final Pixl, with the combined power of Atlas, the creatures of aNu, and an unknown force, they barely defeated and imprison the Dragon, as well as the influenced Stars and their Guardian. The Guardian of the Moon creates a maze like prison, a Endless Forrest with a spell barrier to prevent escape from the inside.
-
Thousands of Years have passed. The state of aNu has started to deteriorate, as tensions and talks of rebellion and war begin to rise. Ryker, Ruler of aNu, forms an elite group of fighters to help protect the people and the World from Malice and Darkness, this group was known as, the Knights.
Tragedy. A Mother carrying her Baby was mugged in an alley for her belongs, when she resisted, she was stabbed in the heart. The mugger ran and the Mother fell against the wall, holding her Baby close. The Mother did not survive.
Ryker soon discovers the crime scene. "Heart breaking..." they say, disappointed at themselves for the current the state of aNu to let this crime happen. As they survey the scene, they notice an infant next to the body, they were cold and pale, but breathing, slowly, but they were very much alive. Ryker took the baby, and instead of reporting the child to the Knights, They instead take in the child, feeds them, gives them a place to sleep, and protects them. Ryker isn’t really sure why they did this, it was as if they felt it was the correct thing to do, and soon they and the child grew close. Soon, years go by, the child grows much older, recognizing Ryker as her father. She looks up to them, and promises to be just like them and protect aNu and its people.
The Childs name was Ro.
-
The World aNu was in a dark place, many saw the current Ruler and the World as oppressive and inequitable to the everyman, talks of War and Revolution began arise as a result. At the forefront of it all, Jasper, a Royal Queen starts her own elite group of Rebels. She seeks to "equalize" society through its elimination using terrorist and tactical methods slowly building her army to overthrow and take control of aNu.
Jasper begins researching the Legend of the Dark Dragon, a Dragon that was imprisoned thousands of years ago by an "unknown" being, capable of reforming and reshaping the World in ones image. She soon became obsessed, believing that Dark Matter is the true state of Matter, and (secretly) devotes herself and her followers to the Dragon, neglecting her Daughter in the process.
Soon it became clear to Jasper that in order to fulfill her plans, she needs to first get rid of Ryker, her assumed "unknown" being in the Legend. She decides to secretly enlist her Daughter into Ryker's new group of Knights, although the daughter resisted, she was ultimately sent away.
For years she trained, alone, with no one to call family or friend, she mastered her skills in combat, quick thinking, and wildlife survival. She trains till her graduation day, for on this day she’ll be knighted by Ryker himself, before being sent off to protect the land of aNu. It was during this time where she would assassinate them, ending their rule over aNu, leaving Jasper fully in control.
The Daughters name was Marbles.
-
The wind blows softly, the grass sways gently in the breeze, the birds sing their songs, and the sun shines bright above.
All these sensations, these feelings, cause them to wake up. Taking in their surroundings, they look, they stare, and they experience. they soon spot a butterfly, they watch it closely, taking the time to learn to move like it, float like it, rest like it. They follow the butterfly until it rests on a beautiful flower. The butterfly is then eaten by the carnivorous flower, shocking and scaring them. In an instant, they knew loss, and not sure what to do, They wander.
Ryker feels a slight but unnatural force coming from the fields outside Sol, the Capital of aNu, they stop helping prepare the Graduation, and investigates. Not long after arriving at the Meadow Outskirts, Ryker sees them. A Pixl.
Rykers shock turns from pure joy and excitement, to confusion, then concern, then fear. Ryker analyzes this new Pixl, everything about them, is wrong. Their size, their details, even the aura, despite still clearly a Pixls, is not like his own, more similar to Dwarf Pixls, an unstable form of Pixl. But, this Pixl as completely different, they were potentially unstable.
Fearing the worst, Ryker silently, and reluctantly decides to euthanize the “Dwarf”.
As Ryker comes closer, something, manifests inside the new Pixl. Feelings of stress, feelings of anxiety, feelings of fear. The Pixl flees.
The Pixl enters the Capital, revealing to everyone that a new Pixl has been discovered. The Pixl soon disrupts the graduation as it was about to begin, with Ryker coming in after them, ordering all the Knights to destroy the Dwarf Pixl at all costs.
A chase, the Pixl becomes lost and disoriented, cornered by the most persistent knight. The Knight goes in for the killing blow, the Pixl wincing in fear.
But...
As if something, or someone, was speaking to her, she stops. She continues to attempt to finish off the Pixl but struggles as her arms begin to shake, she begins to sweat and tear up out of frustration, and soon drops her weapon, then drops to her hands and knees in defeat. "I can't do this..." she says with tears in her eyes.
The Pixl, no longer feeling any form of fear, approaches the crying Knight and begins comforting her by petting her head. She was in complete shocked, but did not stop the Pixl. She began to weep, this random pixl, a creature she has been thought her whole life to not be trusted, was making her feel more loved and cared for than anything her mother ever did in her life.
As other Knights begin to close in, she panics, quickly decides to take the Pixl and rushes pass Ryker and the crowd of Knights. Feeling the aura of the Pixl, Ryker immediately realizes what's happening. The most loyal, skilled, and overachieving knight they have ever seen, had just committed treason.
After persistent running, the Rouge Knight and Pixl eventually escape, hiding out in a rural area of aNu in an abandoned house. She begins regretting her actions and decision instantly, the weight of the treason she had just committed fully dawning onto her, knowing that she would be a target by everyone, including her own mother.
"thank you"
The voice startled the Knight as she looks around the room, her eyes landing on the Pixl. "thank you, for saving me", the Pixl spoke their first words, they began showering her in pure, unfiltered gratitude. This helped the Knight feel better about her choice, she tries to befriend the Pixl, knowing this may be her last and only chance left to gain some kind of companionship. The Pixl became her first, only only true friend up to this point.
She asks the Pixl their name, however, the Pixl does not have the answer. She decides to name him, Omar, after the protagonist of the same name in a Story she use to read while in training. From that day forth, the Knight swore to love and protect this Pixl the same way they loved and protected her from herself, and to protect them from the ones who seek to destroy him for as long as they both live.
-
Thus begins a World aNu.

IM SO SORRY I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED YOUR TEGAN ASK
I feel so bad :( you said it took you three hours and also I had written a huge response and now it’s gone ;-;
Okay so I’m going to rewrite my response but I’m really sorry if I get things wrong since now I can’t review what you sent ;-;
————
I LOVE THE IDEA SO MUCH!!!! And I would love to hear more about their training and life on the ship!
I may be obsessing over Talon and Megan a tad bit…
I love all the possibilities of how they passed the time in the car so much. It would be so awkward at the start and I’m all here for it!! I imagine Talon carried most of the conversation from the beginning until after they really got to know each other. I feel like at the start Talon would just awkwardly try to tell her what has happened to the earth while she was gone in hopes of starting some conversation. I’m imagining the parking lot picnic with them just drinking slushees and eating whatever gas station food seemed good (I’m assuming everything is kind of run down?)
Car karaoke. Oh it would be amazing. Talon trying to find songs Megan likes and trying to get her to sing along, windows rolled down, it’d be such a vibe.
With the race scene I can’t stop picturing the scene from princess bride where they both are rolling down the hill XD
Their relationship is so great, two strangers bonding in a long car ride… oh wait they already knew each other? They were already in love from book one? But Megan’s memory was wiped- WAIT NO THEY WERE IN LOVE AND HER MEMORY WAS WIPED!?!? Okay, okay, it’s fine at least they became close again, just a fresh start nothing to worry about… HER MEMORY WAS WIPED A SECOND TIME!?!? TALON THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (this is so tragic but I love it so much)
Talon nooooo why the tragic backstory ;-; (I love it very much)
Oh and the art? I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! I love Talon’s design!!!!!! The drawing of him saying happy birthday to himself makes me so sad ;-;
Also question time!
Do you have designs for the sci fi ppl? Are they like aliens or just advanced humans chilling in space? Does Talon hide his tattoo? (I love that type of angst so much mhm hidden scars [in this case a tattoo tho]) and you said there was an image limit… could I see those drawing you couldn’t show? Also why is it called Tegan (is it bc Talon + Megan = Tegan…)? That should be all of my questions…
Anyway I absolutely love this story and please feel free to tell me more whenever! (I’d love to hear a lil more about Ivan too)
Again really sorry abt deleting the ask ;-; I hope you have an amazing day though!!
(I feel like I’m forgetting things I wanted to mention but idk)
Oh my I wrote out this whole thing and it deleted it for me hahaha let’s try this again
No worries about deleting the ask it happens hahaha and it doesn’t look like you got anything wrong so yay!
I’m gonna answer this paragraph by paragraph
-IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT and I’m pretty sure I have either the original google doc or a “Megan’s POV” doc that I can look into to give you those details :)
-I’m so glad you’re obsessing so we can be in the same boat
-I’ve been mulling over that car scene for years and somehow you managed to squeeze out even more serotonin for me to devour I thank thee. And I think it’s run down ish, like people are still there but WW3 is kind of happening/ just happened soooo you know
-it would be the vibiest ^^
-I’m so glad you said that bc I couldn’t connect the dots as to what that scene reminded me of but yeah that’s amazing
-IKR the mind wiping rocked my world. My friend was at the point where she was writing the post separation explosion and we were on face time and she casually mentioned “oh you know the cars weren’t the first time they met, right?” I went feral trying to get all the info out of her hahaha
-yes his backstory makes me so sad…
-I’m glad you like the design! It was our group’s “hot guy” design hahaha I’ve tried to make it more individualized to him over the years tho, and that happy birthday one gets me every time (especially since that’s probably how he spent most his birthdays…)
Yay Question Time!
-I believe I could at least get the designs for those people sometime soon. They are just random people who decided to work for big bad (aka the voice, bc they only heard his voice through speakers at first). The voice decided he could make some good money abducting children and forcing them to be assassins so he did that. The government doesn’t know about them bc they hide in space. The few organizations trying to take them down are the only ones who really know about it
-talon has a few different tattoos, the one he got initiated with is a tattoo/ permanent burn so it has to stay covered to protect it, the other is just on his neck and he leaves that one in the open (I can point it out in the pics below)
-and yes! Tegan is the ship name for Talon and Megan (it was that or Melon hahaha)
-Ivan didn’t really have much personality in the oh other than he was angry bc the scientist that snuck into the escape ship was dating his crush, I’ve made some personal modifications to him in my head though making him more protective rather than just angry (he’s also Megan’s cousin) and I just remembered I have a drawing of him? So cue the picture section :)
Picturesssss
Here’s Ivan, the permanent third wheel (he doesn’t know tho)
Tumblr media
The first ever drawings of Talon and Megan 😬
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Moving on… idk which of these are repeats so lemme know if they are and I could probably substitute them for new pics
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now the og Megan design vs the much needed redraw
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ughhhh the one on the left still haunts me…
I was struck by the limit again so I might reblog this with a few more, idk hahaha
But reading through this ask made me so happy you have no idea (insert the “I don’t normally feel things but that one got through” donnie gif)
Thank you so much and I’ll look into the daily life on the ship and the sci fi guy designs :)

Wikipedia
Humans are most closely related to chimpanzees, both descended from a common ancestor which lived in Africa 7 to 10 million years ago[25][26]. Gargoyles are most closely related to goats, and archaeological evidence suggests their lineages split apart in the Caucasus or Central Asian steppe 15 to 20 million years ago[25]. The earliest evidence of the use of stone tools by hominins dates back over 3 million years, while early gargoyles were known to have independently developed them over 5 million years ago, long predating humanity. There is little surviving evidence of gargoyle civilization or culture during this Homo-Gargula Gap[27], though it is probable that gargoyles were firmly established as the dominant species on the planet by the time early man ventured out of Africa around 2 million years ago[citation needed]. According to the gargoyle creation myth, first contact between the species led to the development of a student-mentor relationship in which gargoyles passed on their knowledge to mankind as their successors. The predominant gargoyle religion, the Rightwise and Orthodox Tutelary Order with No Name, maintains this belief to the modern day[28][29][30], though the earliest evidence of such cultural ties dates back less than 15,000 years, only entering the written record 5,000 years ago.
The word 'gargoyle' is derived from the French gargouille, which in English roughly translates to "throat" or "gullet,"[32][33] from Latin gurgulio, gula, and gargula. It originally referred exclusively to a trend in Gothic architecture in which masons carved decorative spouts into the likeness of the living creatures, with the name meant to imitate the resulting gargling sound of running water. Gargoyles refer to themselves as the Havrisi, Havri, or Havrisians, terms of indeterminate origin. One theory suggested they shared an etymology with Latin capra ("goat"), from the Proto-Indo European *ker- ("horned"), though this is now considered derogatory.
The Central Asian Republic of Havristan has been continuously inhabited since at least 8000 BCE, with the its capital city Heshkala being a contender for the oldest city in the world[34]. It had a reputation as such in Antiquity, according to Philo of Byblos. Havristan existed as an independent state until the Russian conquest of Central Asia in the mid-19th century. The Havrisi opposed imperial rule for decades and were some of the earliest adopters of the Marxist philosophy which led to the Russian Revolution in 1917. The Havris Soviet Socialist Republic was one of the founding members of the Soviet Union in 1922, though it was demoted to an Autonomous region of the Uzbek SSR following Stalin's purges in the late 1930s. Its status as a Union Republic was restored by Nikita Khrushchev in 1961, though relations with the wider Soviet government never improved, leading to Havristan being the first Central Asian Soviet Republic to declare independence (the fourth Soviet Republic overall after the Baltic states) in the summer of 1990[35][36].
