I had a thought about your au where the daycare attendant looks after Gregory. Imagine Gregory and Freddy being able to get rid of Vannys influence over all the animatronics and sun/ moon having little memory over what happened and immediately looking for him.

(Apologies to the anon asker, Tumblr finally decided a month later to put this ask in my inbox it seems)

There's been a lot of haphazard development on it since the date this ask is timestamped, but I think that the Caretaker AU would probably culminate in something like this. I like to think it could fit pretty nice and jigsaw-like into the aftermath Faz-Fam AU. But with extra angst and history between Gregory and the Daycare Attendant.

I go a little bit into how Sunrise/Moondrop as well as Gregory all process things in the aftermath in this post. The thing about the AU as I've constructed it is that the memory loss is a result of actual damage to Sunrise's hard drive, so him recalling Gregory perfectly afterwards is probably not entirely plausible.

There's a chance that some cached memory inside Moondrop's half of the AI was protected and could be recovered, but I think all the most secure backups in the Pizzaplex are the ones that are server-locked and solid state. Those would be specifically for the Guest Profiles, and Sunrise/Moondrop would have been careful to keep Gregory out of those records and all info about him only in their personal internal RAM, to make sure he wouldn't be found- this would make it very difficult for anyone to track or find out about Gregory, but also very difficult to protect that data. This would be the reason in this AU as to why Freddy and the others don't recognize him as a Guest and the STAFF Bots automatically register him as an intruder after hours.

But in regards to Sunrise/Moondrop, their time with Gregory is mostly gone, though it might come back in bits and pieces, just as their time under Vanny and Afton's control would come to all the animatronics in dreams and nightmares. I don't like the idea that all of the animatronics and STAFF are entirely amnesiac about the whole thing, (plus nightmares enables more angst opportunities for guilt-ridden robots). Immediately after The Glitch dissipates and the Daycare Attendant can think really clearly for the first time since Afton's presence was first felt, Sunrise does know immediately that the 'Rulebreaker' from before is in danger though, just instinctively, and perhaps it is he or Moondrop that help the dusty and bruised Gregory and Freddy escape the collapsing underground. (This is taking the Afton Ending as the canon one, btw)

Gregory and the Daycare Attendant have to start from square one after everything is over, or perhaps square two at least, with those fuzzy memories Moondrop was able to maintain. For the Faz-Fam aftermath, Sunrise/Moondrop would become the babysitters of choice. Even with the blow to their confidence this whole Glitch business has dealt, Sunrise/Moondrop is still the most knowledgeable and versed in child psychology of all the animatronics in the Pizzaplex.

It will be difficult for Sunrise/Moondrop to regain Gregory's trust, and even more difficult for them to regain trust in themselves, but eventually, in time, we can only hope that all wounds may heal.

And the new memories they make together will be gilded in gold and never forgotten.

I've gotten a bit into Dark Deception lately too, and I was just intrigued by the idea of one of the Lucky the Rabbit Joy Joy Gang clones being a Nice defect of all the others with no homicidal tendencies whatsoever who hides away in the maze to avoid being bullied by the others. A similar idea for a Nice Trigger Teddy scared of people and warning them because he doesn't want to blow anybody up. It's another shameless 'these evil characters are cute, i want a Nice One to make into a woobie' situation, which I am guilty of doing a LOT.

I hope you don't mind but I wrote a short story about this concept—

Lefty picked up his feet, hearing the maniacal laughter getting louder and the loud thumping behind him. It wasn’t easy, but he had to outrun them if he wanted to survive.

He skidded around the corner, jumping slightly when he heard the wall break behind him which meant only one thing: Hangry was now pursuing him also.

“Get back here! You will join the Joy Joy Gang! Joy! Joy! Joy!”

All that did was prompt Lefty to push harder to run, he was terrified of being captured and reprogrammed, knowing they would likely completely wipe his memory, meaning he'd forget everything— his family, his children, his friends, and his love.

He saw a door ahead and ran towards it, almost jumping towards it as he felt pain shot up from his leg where Hangry had grabbed him before and bit him, luckily he managed to escape but his ability to run was kind of hindered.

He grabbed the door knob, pushing it open and immediately slamming it behind him, he quickly looked around the room to survey the location and spotting items such as a desk, chairs, and lockers, which he could use to barricade the door.

He limped over quickly, pushing the desk forward towards the door and turning it down so the top part of the desk was facing directly foward. He heard the familiar “Joy! Joy! Joy!” taunting chant which prompted him to hurriedly pushed the desk against the door.

As soon as he did that, he was startled to see the door handle rattle violently.

“Hey! You're cheating!!” Lefty heard Lucky scream, “Open this door!!”

He backed away slowly, half expecting Hangry to break down the door as he had seen the pig break down countless walls while chasing him, which that was scary to Lefty, as he couldn’t tell where the pig would come from, he could be sneaking away from Lucky and Penny but running straight towards Hangry, who would be waiting around the next corner, ready to smash down the walls to get him.

For some reason, Hangry appeared angry that Lefty was “inedible” as he described, which Lefty guessed it meant that Hangry would probably eat people and he was terrified for a moment that the pig had killed his kids but he remembered that Hangry commented that he hadn’t eaten anything for “so long” and Lefty breathed in relief, realizing that Alec and Hazel were still alive.

They weren’t here, but they were still alive somewhere else.

“You can't delay the inevitable!! This isn’t the end and I won't lose to someone like you!!”

Lucky viewed this as a game, Lefty shivered, he pressed himself against the wall, raising his injured leg, trying to think of what he could do to fix it immediately so he could continue to search for an exit.

He didn’t know how he came here, only recalling that he was walking downstairs with Fetch by his side to make breakfast, then he woke up, face down on the concrete at the entrance of this twisted amusement park. He didn’t care at this point how he got here, he just wanted to leave immediately, he had a sick feeling this was a trap, a trap designed to separate him from his family and friends so they were defenceless.

He hoped that Alec and Hazel were okay, he knew in the past that he had instructed them as well as Matt and Stanley that if he was unable to protect them, they had to, they had to run to protect themselves and hopefully Lefty would find them later. He didn’t care about being rescued, he did care about what they might do to Alec and Hazel, as well as his other friends.

So far it didn’t appear that these awful machines had Alec and Hazel, Lefty was sure if they did, they would have mentioned it as a means to get him to cooperate. It could mean however that Alec and Hazel were held by someone else, as he had heard Lucky mention an entity named “Malak”, which that completely disapproved Lefty's initial suspicions that Nightmare was behind this, with yet another plan to bring harm to Alec and Hazel.

All he wanted was to get back to them as soon as possible.

His heart leapt when he heard something behind him, he immediately turned his head around to the source of the noise. He saw a locker door had pulled itself backwards.

His suspicion level rose, he slowly marched over, walking to the side of the locker that he saw had opened.

And he roughly pushed it to the side.

The locker easily tumbled down with a loud bang and Lefty heard an audible “OUCH!” from inside it

“I know you're watching me!” Lefty exclaimed, “Come out! I'm sick of you horrible Joy Joy gang members tormenting me!!” He kicked the side with his good leg, hearing another “OUCH!” from inside.

He stood still, prepared to attack, watching the locker door rattle before it swung open.

Lefty backed away, seeing a large gloved hand reach out.

A Lucky robot pulled itself out of the locker, laying on the floor for a moment before standing up straight.

Lefty immediately curled his fingers and delivered a swift punch to his face.

“OUCH!” Lucky exclaimed, holding his nose, “You're hurting me!”

“That's the idea dipshit!” Lefty snarled, “Now let me leave! Call off your gang and all your doppelgängers, let me walk out of here!”

It shook its head, “I'm not doing it!!”

“I don’t care if you’re the leader or the underling! I will keep fighting despite being injured! So it's better if you just stop!!” Lefty grabbed his ears, pulling him down.

“BUT I'M NOT HURTING YOU!!”

“Are you playing reverse psychology?”

“LOOK AT ME!! DO I LOOK LIKE ONE OF THEM??”

Lefty froze, looking over this particular Lucky model. He did notice it didn’t look “show ready” as he would describe it, as it had several missing suit parts, particularly on one arm, from the lower arm to the finger tips, it was just an exposed robot arm. The suit also looked dirty, with obvious mud caked on the feet, dried up black oil around its eyes, the fur at some parts looked matted, like he hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.

“I'm hiding also,” The rabbit explained, “I'm hiding from them.”

“What are you? An unfinished prototype?” Lefty let go off his ears.

“Malak said I'm a defect!”

“A defect...?” Lefty said skeptically, he knew that “defect” could mean anything, it didn’t necessarily mean this one was good, it could mean that it was missing some important programming. He was also a little confused about the tone in which he had said “defect”, like he didn’t understand what it meant.

“I don’t like them... they're mean... so I've been hiding anywhere I could basically!” Lucky exclaimed, “The concept of killing people doesn’t appeal to me.”

“How do I know you're not lying through your teeth right now?” Lefty frowned.

“I know why you wouldn’t believe me... I know you aren’t one of them... one of the Joy Joy Gang, I mean.”

“Indeed,” Lefty answered, “I just want to go home, to my family... I don’t know where the exit is though and I’ve been chased around in circles by those three,” Lefty exhaled, overwhelmed.

“Maybe... Maybe I can help you to escape! I have a map of this place installed in my memory!”

“As if I'll blindly follow you,” Lefty knew he couldn’t just blindly trust anyone in a strange place.

“How can I...? Oh! I know! Your leg!” Lucky pointed at it, “Looks like you've caused some damage to the main connection on the knee joint... you need a replacement if you want to run as fast as you can... I don’t have a replacement part on me right now, but rubber bands can help hold the joint steady temporarily so it won’t break further! Hopefully long enough for you to escape and get back to your family!”

Lefty tilted his head, “Why would you help me?”

“I want to... I've seen too many people being killed... and hearing you have a family... I know they'd be devastated if you died!” Lucky shook his head.

“I... I don’t know if I can trust you...” Lefty admitted.

“How about I tell you what you need to do with the Joy Joy Gang? You just need to electrify them!” Lucky replied, “That'll stun them long enough for you to have a chance to escape!”

“Is there anything I can do about Hangry? He's a real big problem for me right now.”

“Hangry... you can try roaring at him... he doesn’t like animals like lions or bears...”

Lefty frowned, that seemed too simple and he knew there was likely a catch, “Suppose I could... Alright... so...”

“Lucky.”

“For personal reasons, I'd rather not call you Lucky, I've had a bad experience with someone named Lucky and what's going on right now isn’t helping... can I give you a nickname instead?” Lefty suggested

“Okay!” He seemed happy at the suggestion, “What do you wanna call me?”

Lefty thought for a minute, he didn’t want something too silly, or something too unusual, but he wanted it to be distinctive.

“How about... Jai?” Lefty asked.

He saw his eyes lit up, “Ooooo Jai! That sounds so interesting!”

“It means victory.”

“Wow! I finally have a name, maybe I can stop associating myself with... that other guy...” He frowned.

“Well...” Lefty extended out his arm, “My name is Lefty.”

“Hello Lefty! I'm Jai!” He proudly introduced himself, shaking Lefty's arm, “Wow! That felt amazing! Just to introduce myself like that, as someone separate from the Joy Joy Gang!”

“I apologize also for attacking you,” Lefty shook his head.

“Oh I understand and it's forgiven... now how about I find those rubber bands and you can tell me more about yourself in the meantime, I wanna know about your family! If that's okay of course...”

Lefty chuckled, smiling at Jai.

Has Alec ever played The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker? I can't help but see certain parallels between his life and the Link of the Great Sea.

Yes I have... haven’t played it in a while though.

[inkbarista]

Have you checked out Bug Fables? It's got more sweet, cute, sad bugs in it.

Looks interesting enough, though I’m personally not a fan of turn-based combat lol I’ll have to look into it.

Hello handsome, why're you called Lil if you're so tall?

You could say I put the devil in devilishly handsome too

What do you think of the Lefty redesign in the FNAF 6 Freakshow fangame Dawko just played on his channel?

Very interesting.

[hideawayintheimaginationworld]

This is a tiny linguistic detail, but do you think the plural of Lonely Freddy should be Lonely 'Freddies' or Lonely 'Freddys'? I prefer Freddys, because the 'ies' plural doesn't really make sense to apply to a proper noun name to me, but I've seen it written as Freddies in a lot of stories and things. I'm writing my own story featuring some Lonely Freddy elements and I've never been able to establish what is the right way so I'm curious what you think.

I actually decided to change it to Freddys (I'm doing some edits on the chapter before I publish it), I've seen other people write it as Freddies.

[hideawayintheimaginationworld]

Hey, I read your tags and want you to know you can feel free to draw whatever you like from that song lyrics post I wrote. Lonely Freddy is one of my faves of the FF stories. It's not really hard to tell I was thinking of your Lonely Freddy blog when I wrote it though, haha

I'm actually surprised the official song didn’t include a reference to the questions Lonely Freddy asked (in particular with “What's your Biggest Regret?”), instead it was like a scene with flashbacks in the background and it only showed a brief hypnosis (which I understand they needed to fit the story into a song that only goes for a few minutes and TBH Lonely Freddy only appeared in the last third of the book, with the other two parts establishing Alec and Hazel's relationship and foreshadowing what was to come), but the Dawko song was amazing regardless!

I'm still surprised I managed to inspire people with my AU (it was something I originally wrote for myself purely because I wasn’t happy with the ending and it was the first new story I had written in three years), I thought at the very beginning that only a few people would be interested and I believed some people may criticize how the characters are portrayed (in particular with the whole fact that Lefty and the Puppet aren’t the same in my AU and Lefty's just a normal animatronic).

I never imagined that people would love it, and appreciate everybody who takes the time to read the story I wrote, who hearts and reblog my artwork, who actually leave comments on my work. All of you are great, seriously, thank you.

[hideawayintheimaginationworld]

Can I ask your opinion on the Lefty I created in HeroForge? It's on my blog along with a bunch of other FNAF characters including FT Freddy.
