#may or may not of made this au because of the stitchwraith

[mabsolgirl]

Part of a FNaF AU continuing where the Fazbear Frights books left off. Jake, aka the Stitchwraith, has taken his new little friend back to where he once stayed but it looks like they’re not the only ones here. I started this about a week ago and continued it recently.

Might continue this lill interaction :3

[idkmanwtfishumanityanymore]

RULES:

#1 ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WEIRD. (18+, suggestive, cursed ships (unless making fun of them) ect)

#2 tkl related questions are allowed, but keep them to a minimum as this will be under the Normal TSAMS tags, and I don’t want to get harassed 👍

#3 Don’t be too simpy- I will become very uncomfy-

#4 No fucked up homophobia or transphobia shit, literally gtfo if you don’t like that some of my characters are queer when they aren’t in canon. AND NO RACISM obviously. #5 DO NOT get pissy with me for being slow to answer asks- my depressed ass needs to work up motivation to get asks done and even go on tumblr-

#6 Specify what you’re asking to, especially if you’re asking BloodMoon- Put M!BloodMoon (/M!BM) when referring to the manifested twins, and AU!BloodMoon (/AU!BM) when referring to the twins in the AU please!

NECESSARY FACTS OF THE AU:

It’s a mostly peaceful AU, redemption arcs have happened, viruses controlled people, but people did still die- some multiple times- (they’re being brought back though Dw)

Sun and Moon are a little happier than the canon variants, bc most of the drama hasn’t happened in this au-

HarvestMoon *did* die, but not by StitchWraith or (technically) Monty. It was Creator’s fault (who will not be in the AU)

KC is actually a good father!

Ruin has rebuilt SolarFlare (‘Flare for short) and is working on bringing back Harvest, but some complications have occurred while trying to bring it back- and Harvest is now a child (Bloody’s a big brother!)

Ruin did still do all the Bombtober/October takeover 2.0 bullshit, but it was completely under the influence of Creators virus- Ruin is much different now and is disgusted by his past actions.

SOLAR IS ALIVE! HE DIDN’T DIE! Bc Ruin has no vendettas against all Creators- he doesn’t even know what the council is- (Which means yes, it still exists.)

ForkFace and Jack are starting a relationship together!

Forky is MtF, and goes by Franklin when not being referred to as ForkFace/Forky.

Eclipse and Lunar have somewhat made up! There’s still some underlying trauma and resentment on Lunar’s part, and a never ending out of guilt with Eclipse, but they’re actually civil and can joke around with eachother!

Eclipse has also apologized to the others for everything he did, so far Lunar is the only one actually giving him a chance- mainly to move past his own trauma. (Sun doesn’t Hate him anymore, just won’t accept the apology until he’s seen undeniable proof that Eclipse has truly changed, Moon still hates his guts, Earth never really had much of a problem with him so she doesn’t really have to do anything, KC is heavily thinking on whether or not to accept Eclipse as his son again, and the twins still want him dead for being the source of their trauma)

Ruin and Solar kinda like eachother a little bit, but not enough to start an actual relationship- idk if that’ll change tbh.

Sun is closeted Bi and consistently denying that he’s queer (I’m going to make KidsCove canon, fuck you /silly)

Moon is asexual, but figuring out if he’s still aro. (He probably is though, so he’s not gonna be doin’ anything romantic anytime soon)

Because everything isn’t going to shit left and right, EARTH AND MONTY ARE ENGAGED!! Earth is actually the one who proposed, Monty still gets weepy thinking about that day <3

Monty is still genderfluid and has their other body (feminine form) but as I don’t have the character slots on GC to make that form, all appearances of Monty will be their masculine form.

Franklin and Jack are somewhat interested in trying out bein in a poly relationship, and are planning to eventually ask ‘Flare to join their relationship, as they both like it and ‘Flare likes them too.

KC may or may not be with Glamrock Freddy romantically-

Characters who will not make gacha-appearances bc I don’t have designs for them and don’t plan to make them: Gemini (Castor and Pollux), Nebula, Dazzle, StitchWraith, Foxy, FC, Freddy (normal) Golden, Puppet, (might actually make Puppet’s feminine form tbh though) and Francine.

Character sexualities and gender-identities (everyone is asexual bc 1; Robots can’t fuck, and 2; I’m extremely uncomfy thinking about these characters actually fucking anyone bc I’m a sex-repulsed asexual TwT:

Sun: Closeted biromantic asexual, demi-boy (He/they)

Moon: Asexual and questioning aromantic, demi-boy (They/him)

Lunar: Panromantic asexual, questioning poly, non-binary. (They/Them)

Eclipse: Closeted gay-asexual, questioning gender-identity (He/Him for the time being)

BloodMoon: AroAce, non-binary (they/them)

HarvestMoon: AroAce, non-binary (It/it’s)

Solar: Gay-Asexual, also questioning gender-identity (He/him for the time being)

Ruin: Omniromantic (male preference) asexual, genderfluid (Usually He/They, but sometimes She/they)

Jack: Polycurious-Panromantic-asexual, cis (He/Him)

Franklin: Polycurious-Panromantic-asexual, Transgender MtF (She/Her)

Earth: Omniromantic (no preference) asexual, demi-girl (She/They)

Monty: Omniromantic asexual (but EXTREMELY dirty minded), genderfluid (usually They/Them by default, switches frequently between masc (He/Him) and fem (She/Her)

‘Flare: Biromantic asexual, questioning poly, non-binary (They/It)

KC: Biromantic asexual, genderfluid (Usually He/They, rarely she/her)

INFO ON THE MANIFESTED!TWINS:

They started out as appearances in dreams of mine, and wherever they’d make any kind of physical contact, (Usually grabbing my arm or poking at me like I’m roadkill) there’d be claw marks in the same spots when I’d wake up.

After a while of staying in my dreams, I started seeing them OUTSIDE of my dreams, and they weren’t just my normal hallucinations- my cats can see and interact with them, they can hold things, uses devices, mess with lights, play an Xbox, ect- and whatever they consume, the correct amount of whatever it was disappears afterwards- so they’re also able to consume things.

not sure Wtf they really are, but they’re goofy as hell, and are keeping me sane, so I’m not complaining.

they watch the channels with me, (yes- including lore, even when I tell them not to, they hide away and watch it from behind me or sm) and the April 14th incident really messed them up- they’re terrified of losing eachother </3

they have the braincell count as an orange cat, aka 0.

do NOT mention anything laser-related around them, please and thank you- they will have a full blown panic attack from the trauma of dying to that stupid barrel-laser-thing </3 (this isn’t a rule btw, just a warning)

THAT’S IT! GO WILD MY GREMLINS.

Edit: ECLIPSE HAS RECENTLY MANIFESTED. I know next to nothing about him because he’s more elusive and reclusive than the

M-BM!Twins, and I’ve only seen him like. Twice. But uh, I know he’s kinda mopey abt something so uh. He’s gonna be available for asks too👍

DOUBLE EDIT: Because Dazzle got a more gacha-friendly design, Dazzle will now be featured visually. A post abt her is already uploaded.

I realize now I forgot to give some updates about other characters of my Strayed! AU…

Like firstly (what I think is probably most important): Moon isn’t there for a good amount of the AU

After what went on with New Moon/Nexus, I didn’t really want to have New Moon (despite how much I liked them at the start), but I also wanted to have OG Moon (because of how silly they kinda are), but I didn’t want to go the Nexus route to get OG Moon back…

So I kinda just put Moon in a coma? So yeah in my AU once Moon & KC separate, Moon’s just in a coma from then until basically a year later, as Moon’s body basically shut down, and Monty’s trying to help, but things keep being thrown at him so he can’t do much to help, and eventually they just decide to make him a new body, transfer his code there, and it worked eventually! Like… probably 3 days later XD (which is then why he has his hunger)

Second thing: There is no Stitchwraith (since Stitchwraiths were apparently rare, there was like only 13? And I didn’t wanna have Bloodmoon secretly working for both Brainsick and Stitchwraith somehow at the same time

Third thing: There’s probably no Puppet… cus I don’t really want canon puppet in my AU, nor can I make a puppet design, and plus she’s rare anyways :P

Fourth thing: I made a new design for Earth!!

Since the last design I wasn’t sure if it was her first-design or new-design (it’s now her first), I kinda was won over by the Chubby Earth side of the fandom, so I made this!

(she still has a bow it’s just holding her ponytail together)

But yeah this is like… her 3rd design (the new body after figuring out the Creator’s a jerk) (she probably asks Monty to help with it - since I’m pretty sure they’d already be dating at this point - and it’s not like she could ask Solar, who doesn’t exist here, or Moon, who is in a coma and she doesn’t know well yet)

But yeah her second body (made by the Creator) probably is thinner like the canon one (cus that’s probably what the Creator wanted, but she herself didn’t exactly want that but was like ‘oh well, Father knows best :3’)

Fourthly: Frank (Forkface) - still needs a new name btw - may actually exist in my AU, since Frank (canon) found out there was a small amount of Negativity Embodiments like himself, so imma still have one :3 I may also make Francis & Fran too!! (im not sure what to do for them, but Francis may embody a Dog Plushie, idk for Fran yet [I had this idea that she just casually found a real Chameleon body and was like ‘oh well nobody’s using this’ and embodied it, a bit of her energy leaking out of parts that would’ve been like… decayed? Idk? But I didn’t really wanna draw a dead Chameleon… cus I like chameleons… and I didn’t wanna have to search up a ref for that… so that idea’s currently scrapped for now]) (also if I do make Francis a dog plush, he would squeak a lot, in replacement probably of his sniffles)

Finally (Fifthly): The Creator’s not a brain.

…but idk what he would be instead XD (but the Nice Creator - Sven I think - said a Brain Creator was new/rare, and most were robots - except for him since he was human - but I wanna do something else)

But ye I think that’s everything? Idk I have to leave it here anyways it’s a Sunday

[Not an Edit but quick addition I almost forgot: because of the whole FNAF Canon lore discovery with the Crying Child possibly being named Cassidy, I am using that for the CC in my Strayed!AU cus y’all are not getting me to name him Evan. E v e r.]

Why the Fazbear Frights Books Don’t Work (To Me, At Least)

  Well, this may come as a surprise to no one - I don’t like the Fazbear Frights books. This isn’t to say that I’ve never read them. I did and I really did try my best to like them like everyone else was. But after Fetch came out, I started to realize what these books actually were: discarded Goosebumps scripts that have been re-skinned to fit the FNaF universe in order to sell for more than they’re actually worth.

  And boy howdy, I sure do enjoy having to spend big money on a tie-in book featuring characters I’ve never heard of before in order to find out basic plot points that the series itself never bothered to explain.

  I understand Scott’s urge to make FNAF-related Goosebumps ripoffs, I really do. If I had an overnight successful horror franchise that was popular with kids/preteens, I, too, would make a bunch of Goosebumps ripoffs. I just wish that he could’ve, used the books to talk about actually established characters from the franchise. He could’ve also just, like, published Goosebumps-esc books that had nothing to do with FNaF but that’s a discussion for another day.

  Like, instead of these random kids being the leads, why not have the stories be about the missing kids from FNaF 1, or the crying child and his brother, or other characters from the games? Why not have short horror stories that give more depth to an established Freddy’s location from the games instead of trying to get us interested in a FNaF location that we barely care about? I want a story from the point of view of Michael as his body slowly rots and he can't do anything about us because Ennard is controlling his body. I want a story from the perspective of one of the animatronics showing us what its like for them! I want interesting stories like that, not the ones that we got.

  Scott didn’t even bother to tell us which stories were canon and which weren’t so it’s hard to even use them to solve the lore of the old games. If the books were more about the minor lore plot points, like the minigames for example, then I’d be ok with them. But Scott’s Reddit post makes it seem like it’s for major plot points like the Bite of ‘83 or The Missing Children’s Incident. But they are not.

  Now, don’t get me wrong, I want canon Fazbear’s Frights stories but I want good canon Fazbear Frights stories. And having to pay for the books in order to learn more about basic plot points is pretty crappy. And, regardless of how you feel about the plots, the Fazbear’s Frights stories are just not well written or narrated at all. They’re the last place that I want to read important lore stuff or about things that I actually care about.

  The Fazbear Frights really should have been about already existing characters and plot points. For example, Room for One More could have been about Michael getting scooped in Sister Location, and Step Closer could have been about the older brother being haunted by Fredbear from FNaF 4. Count the Ways could have been a great opportunity about Elizabeth getting killed by Circus Baby, since it does seem to line up pretty well. And that’s what frustrates me about these books the most. It’s just missed opportunities for Scott to flesh out the world of FNaF.

  Honestly the books don’t even feel like their part of the FNaF universe at all. They feel like short horror stories plots from a story idea generator site with FNaF names thrown into them. Like, sometimes you get a genuinely moving tale about two sisters and a robot chicken and other times you get a fanfic story about a guy getting pregnant and giving birth to a Springtrap baby? Scott, horror has sub-genres. You can’t just throw whatever random stuff into your story that you want and expect it to actually fit the narrative and themes. It has to make sense.

 Because the Fazbear Frights lean more into cosmic horror than the games, it doesn't feel like Scott's brand of horror that we’ve come to know and recognize. And that’s really the point of all of this. My main problem with the Fazbear Frights stories is that they have some concepts that would work well as a normal horror story but once you add FNaF into the mix, the story then becomes either stupidly funny or stupidly horrible.

  While I don’t mind some new FNaF stories, the ones we’ve gotten just aren’t that interesting. A lot of them aren’t canon and the ones that might be don’t really affect anything at all. Considering one of FNaF’s biggest flaws, aside from competent storytelling and consistency, is its lack of character development, this would’ve been a great way to flesh out some of the game characters and maybe some events in the lore. Now if we can stop introducing 50+ new characters every time new content comes out and instead focusing on preexisting characters and emotion-driven plots with interesting narratives, then we’ll be golden. But honestly does anyone even know what qualifies as canon characterization in FNAF at this point?

  It’s funny, because character driven stories are kinda what FNaF desperately needs and I'm glad the Fazbear Frights are, hopefully, starting to realize that. It wasn't the gore in Springtrap that made him iconic, it was the man behind the gore. It wasn't the Scooper people liked, it was the man who got scooped. It wasn't the fire that made the scene, it was Henry. What makes FNaF’s story so interesting and intriguing is the people behind the animatronic monsters and the victims of them but the books instead glance over this in favor of demographic appeal.

  Like, what if Fazbear Frights were instead about animatronics that don’t get enough exploration about their lore or maybe just about different animatronics instead of focusing on just the human characters. The books could've offered so many interesting characters and possible world building ideas, and they do absolutely nothing like that! I just want something about how Mike dealt with being a living corpse, or how Foxy feels when he took out Phone Guy, or what it's like for Mangle to be repeatedly pulled apart, or something. But nope, Scott decided to go for time-travel ballpits, Minireena vore, and whatever is going on with Candy Angel's cover.

  To be fair and completely honest, I actually kinda like some of the stories in Fazbear Frights, (and by some I mean one or two) and the some of the stories I actually do like are what I like to call “decent”. and I also like the stuff with the Stitchwraith because that plot line has an interesting story line and characters that I semi care about or am at least mildly interested with. But its so upsetting how close some of it is to FNaF game lore, even though we don’t have much in terms of official lore for it to be close to. I wish Scott would have chosen between making the books either separate au’s or just being about the canon and only the canon. Like, the TSE series had stuff related to the ‘canon’, sure, but it was at least fairly direct with it instead of just using confusing and muddled "symbolism".

   Let me make it clear that I don’t hate you for liking these books. If you like them, ok. If you don’t like them, ok. I’m not telling you that you can’t or that you need to hate them because I said so. This is just me finally getting my mixed feelings about the books onto paper. The series overall is a 5/10. Not completely awful but not very good either. I really don’t recommend them at all but I also don’t overtly discourage you from checking them out if you are that curious.

WOO I finished it in time!!!

Okay since as I stated before, once today ends I'll have to go (so like... 8 more hours left)

but I wanted to share the rest of the designs for my Strayed AU before I left (...So I kinda rushed on one of them XD)

But I already shared Bloodmoon & KillCode's designs, Brainsick/Blackhole/Arp (the big villain)'s design, and a doodle of Eclipse & Solar Flare's designs...

So I wanted to design & share the rest!!!

So firstly... we have Earth!!

This design of Earth I haven't yet decided which form of hers it'll be (whether it's the 1st body, 2nd body, or 3rd I don't know), but this is what Earth looks like at some point during the AU!! Her eyes are more similar to Sun's eyes (in canon), and her ribbon/headband's yellow instead of rainbow because I thought it fit, and because drawing the rainbow repeatedly can get a bit tiring...

I also was gonna draw her different outfits, but my device wouldn't let me keep drawing, so I only drew her skirt

(Which actually probably means its the 2nd or 3rd body cus the 1st one didn't have outfits..)

Next, we have... Lunar!!! (This one's the current appearance, not the first few ones)

Lunar's design here is slightly based on those little clown dolls (an example - that I didn't use as a direct reference, but sat in my mind unconsciously as I made it - being these clown dolls made by slocotion which they're cool maybe check their stuff out :3), and based on the details I liked from all of Lunar's canon models, and just. going purely on a clown-like vibe as I went through XD (And while I didn't design it, Lunar's first appearance would match more with Eclipse's first appearance, being more silly clown-like)

Next up: Sunrise!! (Yes he does go by Sunrise in this au)

For Sun I really tried to go with an art teacher-like vibe... but most of the results were like... dresses and overalls-but-skirts. Which like, Sun would wear those in this AU, but not as his main outfit. So I just gave him one of those puffy-sleeved shirts with the overlapping stripes (#f8c092, 39% opacity. Why am I adding this? why not), and then added some art supplies on him (paint, glitter glue, and stickers) I'll explain the overalls being the 'wrong color' later

Finally, there's Moondrop!!

Moon wears his overalls as well, but wears a labcoat as well cus.. he sciencey!! This design is specifically after-reset (cus this Moon got reset as well), cus if it was pre-reset, the eye would be red, not green. The bell on his hat is also a crescent moon-shaped bell!!

And also to explain the overalls color-swap for Sunrise & Moondrop:

They usually did wear their colors, Sunrise having the red-orange one with stars, and Moondrop having the blue-purple one with stripes, but then Sun wanted to swap for one day cus.. why not!! Moon agreed basically, but said if Sun got even one bit of paint on it, they weren't swapping back. Moon got the orange overalls cleaned by the end of the day (when they'd swap back), and Sun was basically drenched in paint & glitter glue... so now they've had the swapped overalls ever since XD

So yeah I think that's it!! Still have to design some other characters, like Monty, Stitchwraith, the Creator, Rodrick (who may get a name change in the AU), Foxy, and more!! Who knows, maybe if I get really motivated to, I may design characters from all the other shows in this AU!!
