(sighz) okay so
hey! howdy. its ur boy oz. i have some explaining to do :/
so obviously i’ve been gone for a long time. i haven’t reblogged anything, i haven’t even posted, i haven’t said anything about my au anywhere. and i honestly...have a lotttt of reasons for this. idk how many of my followers are still active, or even check this blog, but for anyone who’s curious i’ll offer an explanation of why i’ve been gone and where i’m gonna go from here.
but the TLDR of it is that this blog just ain’t fun for me anymore and i’m gonna be making my au into something else entirely, so that i can use these characters i’m attached to without having to pay attention to a series i truly don’t care about anymore.
as for more detailed reasons...
- life in general! i’m a busy and stressed person. i have my own personal issues, i’m a student, and even when i don’t have plans i generally just do not feel motivated to work on something like my au. trying to rewrite ghosted so many times over while dealing with all this just was not an enjoyable experience.
- i’m just not interested in fnaf anymore. i’m not. i’ve tried to keep liking it; i certainly appreciate the amount of effort scott put into the series and it’ll always mean a lot to me because of how much it’s inspired me and my stories over the years. but now? i can’t get hooked on any of the new content. i’m burned out. and trying to get involved with a fanbase for something i’m not interested in just doesn’t work...for obvious reasons.
- i cannot figure out where to go with ghosted for the life of me. and honestly on one hand i blame fnaf’s constantly changing story, but i also blame myself. every detail for ghosted, ever since i posted fritz mike n jer’s designs, were impulse made by probably-15-year-old me because i saw all these people i looked up to making really cool aus that got big and i wanted to do that too! what kid wouldn’t? but over time, i just couldn’t keep up with...just about anything. i couldn’t figure out the timeline, i didn’t know how to fit all the games in, and trying to figure out the main plotline when i already had an elaborate backstory written out for all the characters that i wouldn’t end up using, it was overwhelming. no wonder i lost interest.
don’t get me wrong. i’m so, so glad i made ghosted. i’m glad i put effort into the characters, the story, the way the world works, because it taught me so much about so many things. and these characters- thinking about their story, their relationships with each other (especially a pairing i used to talk about a lot. y’all know the one. i still love it btw), brought me a lot of happiness and helped me through a lot of things. and that’s exactly why i can’t just let go of this story.
so...basically, i’m not using this blog ever again. i’m done with fnaf, and that means sleepibots as well. i’m keeping it up, as an archive for my old stuff, but i won’t be posting. and ghosted, as a fnaf au, is not gonna be finished. consider it null and void.
but the designs and the backstory i’ve crafted for them outside of the fnaf stuff is staying for sure. i’m not letting it go to waste; they’re going to be part of an original story that...well, i don’t know what it’s gonna be, honestly. but it’s gonna be something that i’m genuinely excited to develop, as opposed to...well, ghosted.
i’m extremely grateful for the support i’ve gotten throughout having this blog. every like, comment, reblog, and ask meant so much to me, and i would not have been as motivated as i was without that feedback. i’m never gonna forget the amazing people in this community who inspired me and made it a great place to be. honestly? i’m never forgetting the fanbase in general. y’all are great. thank you. seriously.
that’s...about all i wanted to say. sorry this is so long; i kinda figured i owed people an explanation for why i’m making these decisions. i’m gonna be active on my main tumblr (belladonnalovemaiil), and my twitter (BL4CKGOLDZ) where i’ll be posting art, and that’s gonna include the story i’m working on in the future. so, if you wanna still see these characters, then feel free to follow me there.
other than that...thank y’all again for the support. i love y’all. good luck with wherever fnaf’s going now because it’s probably gonna be wild.
see y’all on the flipside!

The Afton Family, circa 1984
The Aftons had been a relatively wealthy but quite normal family. Considered a model family by most who’d known them, the bunch consisted of a loving mother, a hardworking father, and three happy and healthy children. But, as the years went by, this charming facade seemed to crumble right before the public’s eyes as the family was struck with tragedy after tragedy. At the head of it all was the patriarch, William Afton, a man who hid his true malevolent nature behind soft smiles and animatronic animals. It seems that even now, 35+ years later, no one will ever truly know why he and his family disappeared one by one, except Mr. Afton himself.
