:)

New year’s eve, at 12 we are officially in the year of 2025.

While this year started out decent, it didn’t end decent (for me at least).

I may post stuff (like a video for example) that contains stuff I made in the year of 2024 sometime (maybe) today or tomorrow. But aside from that, all from me on here for now.

So I will see you all next year!!

Christmas/Holidays art (2024)

Colored lineart versions underneath

Cherry is on the left, my irl self is in the middle, and Ray is on the right. Cherry and Ray are both my OCs/Sonas that represent me. They both represent me in different ways and basically in this image, they just spreading the holiday cheer with me (I guess? It’s 4:21 AM. I spent like 3 days with breaks on this. 2 days sketching it traditionally, then a day coloring it in digitally. So it’s been a few hours of work put into this…)

Aside from all that, I hope that anyone who celebrates during the holidays are having fun, they are safe, and they are warm!

I extend my hand like a mob boss and allow you to kiss my ring but when you lean closer you see it's one of those glo-in-the-dark spider rings you win at arcades

Guys at this point if I see anyone harassing kat or insulting her and her writing I will report them without question. It's fucking ridiculous what people are saying and doing. These are real people, you are hurting a real human person.

What has been happening is not criticism or a opinion, it is harassment and bullying. If anyone who follows me has insulted kat even once. UNFOLLOW ME. You don't deserve to see what I post.

[cherrycxkes]

I’m truly disappointed in this fandom, there’s almost to no respect to anyone, not even the ones who are breaking their backs to give you the content you’re WILLINGLY consuming, does it has flaws? Yes, DOES ITS DESERVES FOR IDK A BUNCH OF PEOPLE TO SEND DEATH THREATS, CYBERBULLYING AND GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH A PERSON? The answer is no and I believe it’s stupid as hell that somehow you come here and try to justify it. Hope QueenKat does take a break for her mental health and not let this be something be a reason to give up on her writing.

Sometimes it’s shameful to say I’m part of this community for things like this. Grow up.

[cherrycxkes]

Genuinely

If you think it’s funny or cute to harass Queenkatluv or mock her for stepping away from a fandom that has gone out of its way to make her feel unwelcome

Block me. I don’t want to see you. Unfollow me immediately. You are not welcome in my community

Kat is a wonderful writer, and voice actor, and extremely sweet and kind and the VAs stuck their necks out for me when I was being harassed for months on end. None of the VAs deserve the shit this fandom puts them through, and it’s this fandom’s fault that she is leaving. She already left the discord, she abandoned her askbox. She is now being harassed in her personal DMs on Twitter.

This is bullshit.

You do not belong in this community if you think this is acceptable behavior.

Kat, Earth's voice actor.

So, recently Davis spoke out on a situation that came up in The Lunar and Earth Show fandom.

From what I understand, Kat, Earth's voice actor, is receiving a lot of hate, not only against her characters, but also against her for one of the most recent videos.

I never give my opinion so publicly but I think it would be good to show support for Kat.

It's stupid. All those people who come here to talk nonsense about Earth stepping out of her role of being the good and positive one are very stupid.

All or most of the cast have been through morally negative situations. Moon has abused his own brother for many years, and continues to do so. And it seems like the fandom is constantly covering its eyes to ignore this. But hey, Earth can't deny someone a hug because she becomes the mean girl and the worst character ever. Can you see how stupid this argument sounds?

Maybe, I understand that when the character was introduced it got negative reviews. Literally, they never worked with anyone other than Davis or Reed and introducing a new VA was to take you out of your zone. But, continuing to look at Kat in a bad way is the behavior of a child.

You can't expect an amazing story either, guys, specifically this group of people who are attacking Earth so much, you're not paying for a video service. You're not spending a single cent. As far as I know, Davis, Reed and Kat have spent money to maintain quality content day after day. The show has been updated every weekday for over two years.

Kat has done her best to adapt to the audience's tastes, not the other way around. She has done her best not to be an empty character. But the people who attack her don't even bother to see how their characters have evolved positively. Earth has such an empty story because the audience doesn't even pay attention to it.

You can't expect to have an amazing, original story if every time Kat holds the mic you look away. It's stupid.

Kat has been a great support for the story of like three different shows. I think these people who just want to hate something don't realize how boring the show would be without an intervention.

It's a disgusting thought to hate a fictional character just because she's a woman. And it's repulsive to hate a VA for being female. Are you stupid? Because that's the first thing I think if your main argument is "She's a woman, we don't need that"

I'm not a fan of any of the three VAs. I don't like them personally, but I'm going to defend them, especially Kat if they get any hate for this.

You can't put Bloodmoon, who tortured, manipulated, and murdered so many people, on a pedestal and throw trash and hate at Earth just for existing. It's stupid.

I understand if Kat has distanced herself from the fandom and doesn't want to have contact with the audience directly. Just because you are a public figure doesn't mean you have to swallow all the hate and keep smiling. Kat is not just a source of entertainment. She is a human being, who has emotions, thoughts and a limit.

If you have crossed her line, the only thing you can do is step back and leave her alone. No one would like to receive immense amounts of hate because their character is not to everyone's taste.

If you are part of this group of horrible people, I ask you to please leave. I don't want those people here.

[cherrycxkes]

I've always said the SAMS/LAES will eventually come to an end because the fandom doesn't know how to behave and stay on its line.

It's a different story to not like every character or every plot point in a story and criticise them to your followers or talk about them with your friends, but constantly only complaining how much you hate the writing, the characters, everything, is just not it. You are hate-watching which is kinda shitty ngl.

Even bigger issue comes from the very reason I was personally afraid of ever joining the fandom; the parasocial relationship people seem to share with the writers/VAs and fan creators in this fandom.

I don't know if the people in this fandom are just so young or just so chronically online, that they think fandom problems should be addressed and taken care of by the show writers. Because that's not how it works.

I don't think I've ever witnessed a fanbase so directly horrible to its creators than the SAMS/LAES fandom. You don't need to go harrass and cry to the show writers or VAs when you dislike something, or when someone in the fandom ships a ship you personally don't like. That's parasocial and just generally shitty behaviour.

Some people have clearly lived such spoiled lives they think they're entitled to send death threats to the VAs when something in the shows doesn't go as they want. Or if the VAs state their boundaries and wish to take a step back for their mental health.

If you think sending death threats is okay behaviour please go back to your mum's womb and grow a little brain. The VAs are people. They have feelings, they have lives and they have their health to take care of.

Get out of my space if you cannot see it.

Thank you Davis, Reed, Kat, Matt, Flora and everyone else for making these shows for our entertaiment. I'm more of a here-and-there watcher but I genuinely love the characters and enjoy exploring them in my own fan works.

I just woke up, and seeing a lot of stuff on Kat (the voice actress for Earth, Pollux, Dazzle, etc in the tsbs community) about the hate she has received on both her characters and writing. In short: I am angry at the portion of the community that has driven her to the point of no longer writing for her characters.

I have not spoken on it before, mainly because I have a very small active following that looks at the TSBS stuff I post/reblog, but reading all the posts and seeing the news has made me incredibly upset at this communtiy.

I love Kat. I love the characters she plays, I love the episodes she writes, I love how she contributes to the shows. I love her original stories, I love how real she sounds when she acts. I admire her.

From what I can tell on the situation: people are being incredibly rude to Kat and her characters specifically because she is a woman. Which is utter bullshit.

I know the majority of the fandom is teenagers, maybe of the younger variety, but this does not excuse any of you from your actions. This is bigoted, sexist behaviour that one would find in incels who get called gay for only picking men in video games because they think the women would be shit.

I think it should be known at this point that no matter who writes an episode for LAES, TSAMS, EAPS or any of the other shows, they are not going to be the best of the best. They are not studio writers, they are a group of people on Youtube. In fact the whole show thing was not meant to get as big as it did.

You as an audience member are not a valid, professional critic either. Yes you are allowed to complain about certain things in the show, but outright shitting on and sending hate to voice actors over small details is disgusting behaviour that shows you have no regards for the person you are being hateful to.

The thing is though, some of you only target the female characters/voice actors. You don't give a shit about any of the amab charcaters, because they are your favourites. You don't care to send hate to the male voice actors either, because why would you?

I hope you all who are unnecessarily cruel to Kat and her fellow writers/voice actors and actresses come to your senses, and apologize to her properly. No "sorry you felt this way", no "I'm just a kid, I didn't know any better", you describe what you did, and you apologize for how you made her feel this way. And if she doesn't accept the apology, then I hope you are kind enough to leave it alone.

[cherrycxkes]

Okay. Alright. I don’t usually get involved in fandom discourse. It’s not my thing, I’ve had severe backlash in the past from doing so, blah blah blah 100 reasons why I try and stay away from the heart of any fandom because the heart is always where all the drama lurks.

BUT!

Kat doesn’t deserve the slander she’s getting. This is a show we are allowed to watch FOR. FREE. She takes(took?) time out of her busy schedule to organize an engaging story for us, and there are some folks who decide that they have a RIGHT to WHINE about that?? Good grief, the entitlement is fucking astonishing to me. She is a very talented writer and storyteller, who voices a character that I, admittedly, was very uncertain of at first. But, now? Earth is probably in my top five favorites! She is very well developed and should be treated as an equal to the rest of her family, just like Kat, as her voice actor, should be treated like the other VAs! The disrespect towards both the characters she voices and herself as a person are so disgusting and makes me extremely disappointed as a part of the community that appreciates all she does.

This is a free show. They take the time to write, organize, and play-out the scenes, despite having lives of their own. There is no perfect story that will ever be written. As a writer, I know that. I’m well aware of it. Kat, Davis, or any of the other writers shouldn’t be held to impossible standards just because some people have gripes with the story they’re telling.

I myself have had some moments where I’m unhappy with the way the story progresses. Maybe, in some ways, I’ve contributed to the excessive hate towards plot changes or advances. And, if I have, I sincerely, honestly apologize for that. I’m not going to make excuses. For myself, or for others that have voiced the same opinions.

The story isn’t written for me.

The story isn’t written for you.

The story isn’t written for any one person.

It’s written for a community. A larger group of people that enjoy the content that is produced. For those that are attacking Kat for helping to produce these stories: you have no right to call yourself a member of this community. Communities are for supporting one another. Stop bringing everyone down with you just because you’re butt hurt about a story that was never made for you in the first place.

[cherrycxkes]

Ok I'm not someone who makes this kind of posts but...seriously I feel very unhappy and disappointed...I know I'm a grain of sand for the fandom but still knowing that a REAL person is being hurt is not something to pass by..... Just like in every community there are people who like a character or hate it, that's completely normal but think about it...the VA's are putting efforts to give us a story, to be able to record, edit, act as they should, but for us to thank them in this way? No friends, even if you don't like a certain character it's not right to attack whoever is behind it...I understand Kat in the sense that negative comments hurt, as an artist you know that...they are words that bring you down and leave you with low emotional energy...

I know that those people who defend her, support her and like her work are more than the bastards who want her bad.... We can do something to show that affection to Kat and that is to show her our support, messages, fanarts just to make her see that there are more good people...if someone can pass this on to other people I would appreciate it....

And I say this as someone who loves this cast, the shows even if I try hard to understand what they say, they are something important and it would hurt me if it all goes bad because of this kind of stuff.

[cherrycxkes]

Friendly reminder that fan-made content (fanart, fanfic, fanvids, etc) are:

extremely time consuming. Remember someone actually took time out of their life to create that, time they could’ve used to, idk, sleep, for example

entertainment you’re consuming for free. I can’t stress this enough: you’re enjoying someone else’s craft for free. You paid exactly zero money to look at/read/watch it.

S H A R E D  with you, not made for you. This is the most important point: someone created that, put it online and you found it. No one forced you to consume that fanwork, you C H O S E  to do it. 

Whenever you feel like leaving a mean comment, anonymous hate or make a ~clever post about how ‘lol look at all of these overused tropes every fic writer crams into their fics’ remember you’re being a dick to someone who shared their work with you. You’re not being funny, you’re not being edgy, you’re not being brave for calling something out - you’re being a dick.

[cherrycxkes]

Good day tsams fandom. I just want to give a quick friendly reminder ☺️

Harrasing people are cringe, regardless of what topic. Dont like what you are seeing? Block them. Is just literally one click and thats it. Way less energy to waste then harrasing the person

I barely in the fandom at this point and the only thing keeps me here still is my friends and my tsams aus. Anything outside that I barely even touch. Despite that, do not harrass others, people. Is that too much to ask?

[cherrycxkes]

y'all can comment which character that is also a moon that i forgotten 😔

[cherrycxkes]

A little rant regarding recent stuff with SAMS/LAES (regarding certain fans)

People on the internet can be so negative and hateful and I honestly dislike that people will try to ignore that behavior because well “It’s the internet”. Yea, no sh!t Sherlock. The internet is that way because of people who do that crap and act like it’s okay because well, “They aren’t the ones getting hurt”.

Because here is the thing, you are allowed to have criticism and opinions, but you are not allowed to harass, be hateful, and legit attack people for or against them. You’re the problem then. You’re the reason why the internet is such a hateful and negative place. You are the reason why some people legitimately may leave or even get bullied off the internet.

You are not some righteous person who does all good, you are just someone behind the screen being hateful. A negative person. All because of stuff you don’t like.

I honestly dislike how the freedom to hide behind a screen has given so many people the thought process of they can do anything “without consequences”. So at this point, you’re not only a wuss, you’re human garbage, a waste of space on planet earth, someone who can shove it up there and choke if you’re going to be hateful and mean on the internet. Like you should touch some grass at this point because all the brainrot and sticky ipad screens has gotten to you. Get an actual life for once please.

This is rant is mainly due to the whole issue with Earth/Kat with SAMS/LAES and how people are acting so entitled.

Yes, while people will definitely have their own opinions, here is the thing, you are not the ones writing and putting the effort into this/these show(s). You are the ones watching it and complaining because things are not going your damm way.

If you want something to be different, make a AU, fanfiction, art. You have the creative freedom and will to do that and post it or keep it to yourself. It would solve the issue of what you don’t like, without needing to hurt others because of it.

The VAs work extremely hard to make these shows. They work extremely hard to act as the characters, do the writing, improve, and make sure that the fans and themselves can enjoy the story. Even the VAs have stuff in the story they don’t like, but they do this for us the fans to enjoy and are just there having fun and doing their jobs.

So while you are allowed to hate characters, share your opinions, or whatever, don’t attack the actual person playing them or the people working on these shows.

They aren’t the character, they are acting AS the character for their job, for this show, for entertainment. They are not your puppet meant to act out exactly what you want because guess what, not everything is made for everyone and not everyone will agree on everything someone else may agree on. Everyone is different.

Like here is the thing I am getting at, people just hate flawed characters and honestly can’t wrap around just the fact that EVERYONE has flaws. No one is perfect. This is why Mary sues exist people. People don’t even like Mary sues really at all. So choose one.

These characters are legit more human like than a good chunk of characters in movies/shows made by professionals. Not to mention the fact that these characters are, guess what, FICTIONAL! They are FICTION, they are NOT real. But the people playing them are.

So get off your high horses for a second. Dear god.

I apologize for this rant. I most likely won’t ever be so blunt with a rant or rant on here again, so just getting this out while I can.

This rant is only intended for the people who are like this. Anyone who isn’t like this, thank you for being a normal and respectful, decent, human being. Thank you for being the healthy side of this community. Because while, we really shouldn’t have to be surprised when someone is actually a normal person (on the internet), with this day and age, kind have to.

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas: 

Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.

Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.

Concussion

This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.

Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.

Road Rash

The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.

Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.

Deep Laceration

A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.

Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.

Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.

The Daycare Attendant and Their Dialogue

A little ramble on some of the things I've noticed about their ways of speaking. This post ended up being predominantly about how they refer to one another. Most of this is speculation mixed in with my own views on them and their relationship, without discarding some other possible alternatives (for instance, although I do view them as two AIs that heavily rely on each other to function properly, I do not cast aside the interpretation that they are the same person).

(note: although I have played SB and Ruin, I did not play HW2 myself. All I know about that game has been through let's plays).

Sun is, obviously, the chattier of the two. Not only are his sentences longer, he speaks more of them in a row than Moon does - in fact, we only see Moon going on and on in Ruin (which we will discuss later).

Both of them use a lot of repetitions when speaking. From their infamous "clean up, clean up" line, to Sun's panicked "you like glitter glue? I have glitter glue!" and "light's on! Light's on! Keep the generators on!", to Moon's "hidey hide, hide away" and "bad children must be punished. Bad children must be found", "knock knock", etc. One of the first things Eclipse says is also a repetition ("warning, warning"). They appear to occasionally rhyme their words too, or at the very least use similar sounds in their sentences. This is a robot that works with young children, so it's not surprising.

On that same vein, their main insult to misbehaving children (and employees... or at least Cassie's dad) is also a repetition: "naughty, naughty" (which turns into "naughty boy" for Gregory), "rulebreaker, rulebreaker", and "bad kid, bad kid". In fact, it appears they repeat words more often when they're mad/stressed (Sun's no no nos, Moon freaking out in Ruin). Taking into account they get mad pretty easily when things don't go their way, it's not surprising we hear it so often, but it's neat.

Although both of them speak in an almost song like manner, with Sun's run on sentences flowing well between one another, Moon is the one where this is more evident due to how much shorter his lines are.

Moon is also the one who speaks in a more childish manner. Not only are his phrases shorter, he doesn't articulate them as much as Sun does, and seems to prefer shorter words and sounds, especially giggles. This makes Sun appear more developed. Key word being appear.

Sun tends to speak as if he's entertaining a crowd, doing his best to keep the attention on himself while trying to keep it fun. This is most evident in his level explanation parts in HW2, but it's also clear in SB. In Ruin, this is absent for... obvious reasons.

Both of them are somehow direct in their way of giving orders/saying what they want to do. When they can't be direct, they find workaround truths in order to conceal what they truly want to say, while keeping the main order clear (such as Sun saying the player will hurt their eyes if they work in the dark and ordering them to keep the lights on, rather than saying Moon will kill them so keep that room bright. Direct, but nicer).

Not at all important to FNAF speech lore but I think it's funny: Sun says the infamous Vanny line during the daycare intro section. "Are you having fun yet? (Are ya, are ya?)". 0.5 seconds after Gregory just stands there, which coincidentally is what Vanny does 0.5 seconds after Gregory gets into a vent (numbers exaggerated). I don't know. I just think it's funny. Replaying the daycare section after hearing Vanny yapping that line non stop gave me flashbacks.

The way they refer to each other and the pronouns they use are an entire thing, so let me separate it in two parts.

So that this post doesn't become scrolling hell on the tags, I'll keep it below the read more line:

Sun

Sun is the one who refers to himself the most. He frequently uses "I" or "me" when talking about himself, and does it way more often than Moon. Examples of this are "I have glitter glue!", "I'm stuck in a nap", "it really speaks to me", "I feel dumber just looking at it" - you get the point by now. The reason I'm going hard on this point is to contrast his way of speaking to Moon's.

When it comes to him referring to Moon, we only ever hear it twice. In HW2 he says "He'll wake up if the lights go out!". In Ruin, he says "Not me, the other me!". Besides those two voice lines, he merely alludes to Moon without ever mentioning him by name or by pronouns (such as when he says he'll turn the lights off himself, implying he'll let Moon deal with you, or when he says you can't work in the dark and instead of saying the real reason as to why, he cuts himself and goes "You'll- hurt your eyes if you work in the dark").

This is interesting for two reasons: one, we only see him directly mention his counterpart when he's in a ruined state (the HW2 voice line comes from the mask off section, when they're broken down. At least I think so); two, he simultaneously views Moon as separate from himself ("he'll wake up") and as a part of himself/another side of himself ("the other me"). You can take that as them really being the same "person", or as a reflection of their complicated body sharing situation. Take it as you will.

As far as referring to himself and Moon at the same time, he only does it in Ruin when he states "We need to be whole".

Moon

The way Moon structures his sentences means that he seldomly actually refers to himself directly. For instance, he doesn't say "I will find you" or "I will punish you", putting himself as the subject of the sentence. Instead, he puts others as the subject, wording it as "Bad children must be found" and "Bad children must be punished". This is consistent across all of his voice lines except one... Well, technically two.

To get it out of the way: there's a deleted voice line where he says "I'm putting you in time out", a line he and Sun share and which worked the same way the clean up one does - them saying the same thing, a push towards them being the same person ordeal.

The only in-game time he refers to himself directly is in Ruin. This line is also the only time he refers to both himself and Sun as a duo. This line is also the longest line of dialogue Moon has.

"(groaning noises) Naughty! Naughty! Make it stop! The light makes us hurt! Grind Grind! Grinding gears inside my head! We can't move. Error! Error!"

This line, much like Sun's, is interesting for various reasons. Even though Sun is no longer with him (being stuck in the VR world and separate from Moon, shown by how Moon can't move because the lights are on but his body can't shift into Sun, so he's completely stuck), he first refers to himself as a "us" - adding Sun into the mix. Then he refers to himself alone, "my head" instead of "ours", before going right back to a plural.

We can assume one of three things here: one, Moon refers to himself as a we more often, adding Sun into the mix, a complete opposite of his counterpart who typically speaks in singulars; or two, Sun is not as absent as he appears and in that moment he is in fact with Moon, just stuck on the passenger sit, hurting alongside him; or three, this is merely an effect of this being in the Ruin DLC where the whole point of the daycare section is to fuse Sun and Moon into the Eclipse, so the writers decided to bring the point home further. If you have more options, feel free to add them.

Side note: This voiceline also shows Moon's speaking patterns pretty well. Putting "the light" as the subject instead of "we/I", the rhyming, the repetition, the clipped sentences compared to Sun's endless ones, the noises, the scratchiness, the vague childlike mannerism... All ending with "we can't move", way more straight to the point, said right before he freezes up, which deviates from the "other subject first then me" rule due to the pain tearing through him at the moment.

Moon does not call Sun "the other me" or anything similar in any of the games. He never refers to Sun as if he too was Sun. However, we can assume his view on their situation probably mirrors Sun's - being in the same body and all -, so take it as you will.

And as for Moon referring to Sun as a separate individual... He does not refer to him as a "he". Instead, he actually mentions his counterpart by name, saying "No more Sun". Meaning he's the only one of the the two that has canonically used his other side's name. I think it's interesting how the least chatty one is the one actually calling the other by name and not the other way around. And yes, you can say it's a way of speaking and he's referring to the concept of the sun rather than saying his name, but taking into consideration Sun never utters the word moon, I'd say it's still quite a big thing.

In my headcanon land, due to the happenings at the Pizzaplex, Sun is probably too embarrassed and mortified to even mention Moon. Moon, on the other hand, has no reason to have such troubles besides hating Sun for (in his perspective) keeping him locked in a prison of light. So for me, it makes sense we never see Sun saying Moon's name, and it makes it more impactful when he actually acknowledges Moon as the other me rather than a he.

Eclipse

I lied there's three parts.

Eclipse has very few voice lines. The only one that matters here is "We need to clean this place up before we can open in the morning." This is pretty straight to the point: Eclipse, unlike Sun and Moon, doesn't use an "I". They immediately speak in the plural. They do not view themselves as just Eclipse, but rather as both Sun and Moon combined, at the same time.

As for the DCA being two AIs or one... in Ruin, Sun thanks Cassie after Eclipse is activated. It's left ambiguous. You can say Sun speaking afterwards proves they're not one and the same, "with the Sun and Moon AIs still running separately somehow", or you can assume Eclipse existing doesn't mean Sun and Moon can't keep doing their thing under safe mode, albeit in a less chaotic manner, allowing Sun's voice to come through but not making him any less Moon - he is Moon, he is Sun, and they are complicated yet very simple.

I believe in whichever version is more convenient at any given time, with a preference for "two codependent AIs" given what the games show us. Although, going by everything I collected here, the only theory I believe to just not be supported by canon at all is the one with Eclipse as a separate thing all together. Eclipse refers to themselves as a "we', not an "I". Eclipse activates when you make Sun and Moon "whole". It canonically makes no sense for Eclipse to be a third thing. (Please remember this is a post about what's in the games, the canon of FNAF. AUs and fandom or whatever, you do you).

That's it. Hope you enjoyed my rambling. Uh artblog unpaid promotion @tagidearte thank you for making it this far.
