#Bonnie's like I was killed too and Foxys like that's what a murderer would say

[starlightshadowsworld]

Imagine if the missing children remembered a bunny killed them and were just giving Bonnie the side eye.

Like oh I don't remember who killed me but I know it was someone in a bunny suit... Hey!

[yanderes-galore]

I'm so excited for this! Do you think you could write a story for the original Freddy Fazbear (from FNAF 1) where he keeps reader after he traps them on a suit and reader's soul possesses it?Reader wakes, trapped in a robot and is forced to stay inside the pizzeria, with Freddy. Do it's a Freddy Fazbear with possessed animatronic! Darling

-🦊

Sure! I decided to do some HCs and a small drabble/prompt (not exactly 100 words but it's short) for this as I couldn't tell what you wanted? I had this down as a concept but re-reading this you said story so I did a little of both!

As per usual, no dead kids involved. The only one possessing anything is you. The bots are treated like they are in Security Breach.

Yandere! Freddy Fazbear with Haunted Animatronic! Darling

(Small HCs + Short Story)

Pairing: Platonic/Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Death, Accidental murder, Possession, Manipulation, Isolation, Kidnapping (technically), Gore, Graphic descriptions, Forced companionship.

HCs/Concept 🎩🐻🎤

I've mentioned many times that Freddy may accidentally kill you to keep you with him in his concepts.

In an attempt to keep you hidden in the pizzeria he no doubt hides you in an extra suit.

That or he tries to fit you in his.

Either way, these bots aren't really known for being careful when doing such a process.

Most likely by accident, Freddy may push a little too hard.

Resulting in your demise.

In an attempt to keep his dear pal with him, one who just wanted to go home, he kills you.

This fate for you would happen if any of the FNAF 1 animatronics tried to keep you.

When Freddy realizes your screaming for him to stop has ended... he thinks you've accepted your fate.

He feels joy within him at the thought of keeping you here to himself.

Then his sensors kick in... and he does a quick scan over the robotic suit.

His ears twitch as his optics pick up on something out of the ordinary.

He sees blood pool out of the holes of the suit and stain the fur.

He sees strange matter pooling near certain joints.

Dread starts to seep in as he takes a better look at the suit he picked.

Maybe the suit was another bear suit, or maybe even one of your favorite animal that was scrapped.

Either way Freddy can't take his optics of the now bleeding suit.

He isn't sure how to react.

Fear starts to creep into his processors as he realizes he may have just lost his pal.

His paws shift around the suit, trying to find a heartbeat.

When he doesn't find one the bot pauses and stops.

He can't fix this.

He knows it was an accident but he's scared he can't get you back.

You most likely don't haunt the suit until some time after.

After your death Freddy goes back to his programing dejected.

When the day is over he mourns your loss in silence.

His friends (Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy) try to comfort him as they sense something off in his behavior.

Yet Freddy is never quite the same outside of performances.

Things don't change until he hears shuffling from the other room.

During the night shift Freddy makes his way to the Parts & Service room to figure out the noise.

What he's greeted with is a confused animatronic looking around the room from a table.

The same place you died.

Freddy then decides to engage, saying your name softly as the other bot turns around.

You responded to the name, yet just stare quietly.

Then... he hears your voice through the voice box.

"What have you done to me... why am I here!?"

Freddy knows somewhere in his coding he should be concerned.

Yet he's too excited about the fact you're back.

All he can think about is the fact you've come back to him!

He never lost his pal!

In fact, he made them better!

Now he's made you a part of the band!

Forever.

Freddy would try his best to comfort and help you in your new robotic prison body.

He tells you what animal you are and is overly excited about it.

He though he'd lose you forever!

You may be scared but he's happy.

He's so scared to lose you again he often visits you in the Parts & Service room to ease his worries.

During the night he allows you to roam and walk with him.

He even allows you to speak with the others!

Now and forever... you'll be a part of their family.

You hate this but it's not like you can cry about it.

You lack the tears, your original body crumpled somewhere in this prison.

All you can do is sit still throughout the day and roam at night.

You can't escape Freddy, either.

The bear is now never too far from you, glowing blue eyes staring at you in the dark.

Now... you two can play forever.

You won't need to leave him ever again.

You'll have fun here forever.

Short Story 🎩🐻🎤

"Are you still in there?"

You cringe as metal grinds together. It's your joints that make the noises as you look around your little room. Endo skeleton parts and costume heads line shelves and you recognize this as the Parts & Service room from your job.

Days ago you recall pain. You remember dying to the bear you thought you could trust. He claims he had remorse. Had... yet now he only appears happy.

You refuse to answer the voice behind the door in an act of defiance. All you do is look around the room through old robotic optics. Is this... really your fate?

The creaky sound of the metal door opening only fills you with disappointment. Blue optics meet your own as the bear scans the room. Once he sees you he enters but you still refuse to move.

"It's 12 AM, you know what that means, don't you?" The main bear asks in an excited tone. You only blink at him blankly. The bear ignores your silence and smiles.

"I've been waiting all night to play with you, pal!" Freddy cheers as he stalks closer. You take this time to get yourself off the table and keep your distance. "... are you mad at me?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" You answer, your voice both sounding like your own yet also the character you're supposed to be. It's foreign... you don't like it.

But supposedly it's part of you now.

"I didn't mean it!" The bear pouts. "Besides... I'll keep you company all the time now! You have all the friends you could ever want here!"

"I want to be alone." You say simply, turning to look at a wall.

"Pal... don't do this. You'll enjoy your time here." The bear's tone shifts in annoyance.

"And if I don't?" You say softly and turn around, sadness in your tone. You feel a robotic hand pat your back and feel glowing eyes stare into your back.

"You will. You have me and the others. This is your home now." Freddy repeats, finding his way to your stained paw to pull you towards the door.

"This place should be much better than your original home. Now you'll never abandon us..." Freddy pauses, locking optics with you. "Now you'll never abandon me."

You feel nothing as you're forced to follow the bear. Mechanical clanking is all you hear in your auditory centers as he guides you into the main stage room. You're met with a smiling Bonnie and Chica... you feel homesick.

You just want to go home... but after your little incident and the look Freddy keeps giving you...

You have a feeling you have to make this your new home... like it or not.

"Why don't you join our band, pal?"

Five Nights at Freddy's (Movie Review, Part 2)

So, let's continue with my FNaF Movie Review. If you want to see Part 1, the link is below:

Five Nights at Freddy's (Movie Review, Part 1)

I had to make two separate parts because of crossing the image limit I was allowed on Tumblr. Part 1 contains a non-spoiler review, as well as a spoiler review of the characters and story with a warning for those who haven't seen the movie. Part 2 covers the finale of the movie, as well as the main villain.

MOVIE SPOILERS!!!!

Now, let's get to our main attraction!

Ahhh, William Afton... Seriously, whenever the animatronics weren't stealing the show, this guy would take the spotlight in every scene he was in. I was legit looking forward to his character in the movie, and he never disappointed.

He appears as an unassuming career counselor, Steve Raglan (missed opportunity there to call him Dave Miller), who gives Mike a job after learning that he is the older brother of the kid he had murdered, even saying how the owner ''was too sentimental to let go of the pizza place''. Yeah, when I heard that, I knew immediately he was talking about himself.

During the movie, we learn that William has somehow influenced the Ghost Children to trust him and hunt down Abby to make her his next victim, with the climax having Chica almost stuffing Abby into a springlock suit and Foxy hunting her down (this is both a The Silver Eyes and Into The Pit reference!), while Mike deals with all of them (and gets his leg damaged by Carl the Cupcake).

I will admit, I almost screamed when I saw Spring Bonnie approaching Mike, and the latter's futile attempts to fight him off.

William as Spring Bonnie is legit the creepiest and most awesome part of the whole movie, and I absolutely love how he chews the scenery as he confronts Mike, telling him he was behind the murders and how he will kill Mike as well, as well as siccing the animatronics on him.

Oh, and I love the Ghostface reference here, gotta allude to Scream given the actor's career. X3

I know I shouldn't be fangirling over the main villain of the story, but COM'N!, this guy is stealing the show and he enjoys what he's doing.

As the movie reaches its climax, William confronts Vanessa, while Mike realizes that he can turn the Animatronics against William and asks Abby to help him. What does she do?

She makes a drawing that shows the truth (something that happened in The Fourth Closet). Also, just look at the gaze Abby gives to William. It screams: ''Now you're dead.''

And William knows this. There is genuine fear and shock in his eyes, especially when the realization hits and the Animatronics surround him.

They are pissed, and you'd think that William would turn into a sniveling coward and beg for mercy as they move to kill him. Yet, that doesn't happen.

Instead, he remains defiant, delivering an epic rant to the Animatronics:

"Look at you… Look at the nasty things that you have become! Look at how small you are! How worthless you are! You are wretched, rotten little beasts! I made you!"

This prompts Chica to unleash the Cupcake, who takes the bite out of the suit and causes the springlocks to snap.

The iconic springlock failure we're all familiar with is not a fountain of blood with William quickly dying. Instead, it is slow and agonizing, and William is doing his best not to scream in pain, falling onto his knees as he is dying and quickly grabbing the Spring Bonnie head as he delivers his iconic line:

''I always come back!''

Now, this made me scream in excitement!

Not only is this William's iconic line, but it also has a deeper meaning behind it. He knows that he can return to life by having his soul possessing an animatronic, and he's taking full advantage of it.

While Mike, Abby and Vanessa book it out of the pizzeria as everything starts falling apart, the Animatronics grab the dying William and slowly drag him away, and it seems like the story of Freddy's is finally over... or is it?

We see William inside the Spring Bonnie suit, whimpering in agony as the Ghost Child that possessed Golden Freddy stares back at him, before closing the door on him, sealing the room shut, and honestly, I legit thought Hello Zepp from Saw was about to start to play during this scene.

Seriously, look at the scene and tell me you didn't think the same thing. Unfortunately, it doesn't, but the song that does play is more than appropriate!

YES, FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S BY THE LIVING TOMBSTONE IS IN THE MOVIE!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!

Overall, I LOVE this movie, and the very ending with Spring Bonnie...

...or shall we call him, Springtrap, makes for a solid base for a sequel.

If you want to hear my ideas for a FNaF sequel or just want to discuss the movie, leave a response or a question in the inbox. I have SO much to say about this.

Five Nights at Freddy's (Movie Review, Part 3)

[madcatdaderpydrawer-blog]

Taking up that offer now. To simplify it Phone Tapes is about Scott slowly finding out his best friend Vincent is the one behind the child murders all the while surviving being a night guard in the toy's location. There's a lot of characters but the main ones are the nightguards and the kids! Scott - dayguard turned night guard. Good guy with anxiety issues. Tends to ramble a lot. But always wants to make others happy. Vincent - Stand offish, not the most social person. Mechanic turned nightguard. Protective to those close to him but generally keeps to himself. David - The bite victim. Killed by his older brother Max. Shy kid who's easily scared. Likes reading and listening to nature docs. Too soft for his own good (Nightmare) Max - Kill his brother on his 10th Birthday. Edgy teenager who loves anything sharp. (Foxy) Russell - Energetic theater kid! Loves anything to do with the movies, espuesully musicals. (Bonnie) Luwis - Son to a hunter he's very out doorsy. Has a pocket knife and knows how to use it. (Freddy) Warren - Easily excited girl who has a big sweet tooth. (Chica) Alex - Nonbinary shy kid who wants to get out there more. Knits. (Soul attached to Puppet) How would the FNAC ocs react to this gumble of kids and the nightguards watching them? (Would also love to hear about these guys)

In my fnac au, a guy named Roderick is the killer and all the people he killed were friends of his. They all worked at candys together and went on to possess the animatronics. I’ll go in order of how they died first.

Chester was the first to die. You heard a bit about him from what I shared before. Roderick killed him out of jealousy and beat him to death with the metal banjo from the chimpanzee animatronic. He possessed Chester the chimpanzee s the one he possessed.

Cindy was the next to die. She’s a very shy young women who worked as a waitress in the burger place. She died when Roderick asked her to help get something unstuck from a machine only to turn it on crushing her. She possessed Cindy the cat.

After that was Vinnie, who was killed by accident. Vinnie was a very cheerful optimistic person and the youngest of the group. Roderick was targeting Carl, Cindy’s twin brother, because he was suspicious about the story he presented and Roderick didn’t want to get caught. Roderick didn’t want to kill Vinnie, he was his baby brother, but he did by accident. He possessed the Vinnie puppet.

Roderick killed Carl after that a few days later. Carl is a talkative extrovert, basically the definition of a social butterfly. Roderick killed him with a circular saw. He went on to possess candy the cat.

Pedro is someone you’ve heard about too. He’d talked with Carl before his death who mentioned his suspicions with Roderick and after he died he went looking for evidence. He found some tapes from the security office after hours but ended up getting cornered by Roderick there and was strangled. He possessed the peppy animatronic.

Brett is serious and protective of his friends. One of those people who are rough around the edges but loyal. He was Roderick’s best friend and also the security guard at the business. He and Roderick got into a physical confrontation and while Brett did manage to shoot him he was still killed. He possessed the blank animatronic.

Kate was a childhood friend of Roderick’s, and other then Vinnie he’s known her for the longest. Roderick wasn’t the one who killed Kate, she commit suicide via hanging from the stress. She possessed the cat animatronic.

The last one is Chris. Before lord night he was my favorite :) what can I say, I have a type! He’s a introvert who struggles with social skills since he didn’t have any friends until he was an adult and his parents basically ignored him his whole life. Overly formal most of the time, also the oldest, but warms up and acts more himself with the people he’s close with. He’s the owner of the business. By the time he was murdered he knew it was going to happen, at least in part. He’d been preparing things for the possibility at least. It was pretty obvious Roderick was responsible but there was no proof so he couldn’t do much. Despite being careful Roderick managed to spike his coffee with cyanide which is what killed him. He possessed old candy. He still works as the owner because he feels like he has to for the others sake. Since he opened the restaurant he feels guilty for what happened there and overworks because he feels like he has to make it up to them. He’s just squeezes so troubled. I feel like he’d get along with Scott

Roderick himself has always been kinda a blunt dick. He’s comfortable with his current life and doesn’t like change, and always liked . He died via intentional overdose and possessed the rat animatronic

Now as for how they’d react to your ocs, that depends. Are your characters dead during it, or is it when they’re alive? Is it before my characters died or after? Their personalities changed after death so how they’d act is different to.

The Spook - Loki x Reader (Marvel x Fnaf Crossover)

Part 7 – Meet the possessed crew

WARNING!: Mentions of murder ! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !

Destiny took a deep breath.

“Which way to communicate do you all prefer ?”, she asked.

“Animatronics…”

Destiny turned the Box off at that and looked at the rest of her team.

“Do you want anyone to leave this building ?”, she asked.

“Dominic.”, Freddy and the rest said at the same time.

Dominic gulped and left.

“Be careful, guys.”

Loki gulped in fear.

“Do you already like someone in this room ?”, she asked.

Freddy, Bonnie and Foxy pointed at Loki, while Chica pointed at Thor.

“Why did you try to hurt us yesterday night ?”, Thor asked carefully.

“We were scared that you were with HIM.”, Chica said.

“Who is him, Chica ?”, Destiny asked.

“The Purple Guy.”, they all said at the same time, twitching and their voices demonic.

Thor and Loki looked at one another in confusion and stepped next to Destiny. She had narrowed brows and was in thoughts.

“Who is the purple guy ?”, Loki asked.

“The man that lured us and killed us.”, Bonnie said darkly.

“Do you know his name ?”, Thor asked.

“Aye, maty ! His name is William Afton !”, Foxy said.

“William Afton…”, Loki mumbled and wrote the name down.

“That is impossible.”, Destiny said.

They all looked at her and she looked at Freddy and the gang, Foxy stepped out of Pirate cove and went to the stage too.

“If William Afton killed you, he must have had a reason.”, she said.

“And that would be ?”, Freddy asked her with malice.

“We found the room of dead bodies. I saw that some surely got spring locked and others had a light death, while others had a gruesome one. William Afton had kids himself. He was a Father himself and knew loss of a child. It tore him into endless grief. William was always a Softie. He couldn’t hurt a fly. He never could. If it was him indeed, something bad must have happened to him.”, she explained.

“We tried to kill a Father ?”, Chica asked in shock.

“I am afraid so…”, she said.

“So what do you suggest drove him to kill us and others ?”, Freddy asked.

“As I mentioned the gruesome deaths were inhuman. William was very human. A damn sweetheart. That looked like an evil force killed you back then, so I would say something forced him to kill you, or told him that he would get his kids back that way.”

“Are you saying…?”, Bonnie couldn’t finish his question in shock.

“He had 4 kids and a wife. The first born Son killed himself. William never knew why, but fault had his wife. She was abusive towards all their children and as he found out he divorced her. His second Son became a bully towards his youngest Son. And he had a daughter. His daughter went missing one day and never came back and his second Son accidently killed his youngest Son at his birthday at 1983. It was supposed to be a harmless prank, but Fredbear bit down and the kid was in a coma and soon on died.”, Destiny explained.

They looked saddened at her. They never knew.

“With that he only had his second Son left as family. His ex wife tried to take him away from William and one day she broke in while he was working late and tried to kill his second Son. He just came back in time to…save him. He stabbed her and didn’t stop until he knew she was gone. He was scared for his Son. He was badly injured and needed the hospital. He told them everything and admitted that he killed her in blind panic. They let him go, because it was self defense.”

They stared at her.

“Since that day he was scared to pick up a knife again. His second Son cut for him, so they can cook food. But William never touched a knife again after what he did. He went to a therapist to get better and after a while he felt better, but still didn’t touch a knife again.”

“Arr ! This doesn’t make any sense ! If he didn’t kill us, who did ?!”, Foxy asked.

“Something that controlled him or forced him.”, Destiny murmured.

Then they heard a voice box twitching and Loki turned around first.

“Who are you ?”, he asked the yellow bear on the floor, which twitched.

“Golden Freddy. They are here to help us.”, Chica said softly.

He twitched more and the voice box twitched like crazy. Destiny took the Spirit Box and turned it on.

“Your Voice Box seems broken. Can you talk to us through this ?”, she asked Golden Freddy carefully.

“WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?!”, a girl’s voice yelled through it.

“Calm down. I am Destiny, this is Loki and that is Thor.”

“LAST NAME ?!”

“Destiny Dust, Loki Laufeyson and Thor Odinson.”, Destiny said.

That seemed to calm the girl down.

“Why are you here ?”, she asked.

Loki stepped in.

“We want to find out who did this to you and how to set you free.”

“William Afton did this and we took care of that.”, she replied.

“It wasn’t William.”, Freddy told Golden Freddy.

“What ?”, the girl asked.

“William was a Father himself and even saved his Son from his abusive ex wife. He grieved 2 deaths of his kids and one that went missing. He could never hurt anyone. Maybe he was forced to kill us or even controlled.”, Bonnie said next.

At that the girl was silent.

“So maybe we got the wrong person…?”, she asked then.

“Yes.”, the crew said.

“Then we killed an innocent man ?!”, she yelled in shock.

“Wait ! You KILLED him ?”, Destiny asked.

“Well we chased him and he ran into Spring Bonnie, the Spring Locks were wet and they went off while he was inside the suit.”, Bonnie said.

“But he possessed it and I know where he is !”, the girl of Golden Freddy said.

“Where is he ?”, Destiny pressed further.

“I will tell you under 1 condition.”, the girl said.

“What is it ?”

“We will come with, in case something happens.”

“Fine. Now tell us where William is.”

Masterlist Here !

Chapter 22: What Goes Up...

Word Count: 948

TWs: Implied murder, blood mentions, springlock failure

⛤⛤⛤

The missing posters accumulated rapidly.

Lisa Nicole, age 7. The experiment.

Alana Ellwood, age 6 and ½. Chica.

Linus O’Shea, age 6. Foxy.

William “Billy” Eddeck, age 5. Bonnie.

Flora-Jeane Rush, age 8. Freddy.

Flora-Jeane had been a risk. A fighter. But even she succumbed. Still, it reminded William not to get too ambitious. If they were too old, they wouldn’t be as appreciative, nor as blissfully ignorant. It wasn’t long after he had killed little Billy that he started to overhear things he hadn’t expected. It seemed his customers had noticed that there was some new energy in the performances of the animatronics since their “refurbishment.” How wonderful everything seemed, the children happy to stay up so late in the night, the audience happy to watch them perform while being none the wiser. The only thing that bugged him about all of this was the why. Was this a miracle?

Of course, because William was feeling good about himself and his two-faced work, only bad things could be at the bottom of the slope. He should’ve seen the signs in the form of Michael deliberately starting a conversation with him.

“So I’ve been thinking about moving out. Becoming more independent.”

William had been putting on a raincoat and preparing to go to work when he dropped the bomb. “And how are you going to afford it, Michael?”

“Henry said I could move in with him… only reason I haven’t done it yet was because I care about Lizzy’s well-being.”

His gaze narrowed. “And you think I don’t? When did Henry say this?”

“About a month ago.”

“Why would you want to go live with him when you live so cushily here? We might split the income from Freddy’s but there’s a wide berth between Henry’s money and mine.”

“I don’t need to live ‘cushily.’ I don’t even need to eat that much. But I need somebody who understands me.”

“I understand you perfectly well,” William felt steely and rigid, pressure building up inside of him like the boiler keeping his home warm and comfortable. “You are my son. An Afton. For better or for worse, you cannot escape what’s in your blood.”

“Sucks to suck, I guess…”

“Michael Christine--”

“You’re going to be late,” Michael pointed to his watch and William growled.

“Fine. Do what you like. But don’t come bitching to me when Henry has to choose between supporting his biological daughter or a prince choosing to live the life of a leech.” With that, William stormed out into the mist, slamming the door behind him. Michael sniffed hard and went up to his room. He was already half-packed. It wasn’t like William could stop him, anyhow. He’d move in as soon as Henry gave him the word that the guest room was waiting for him.

That day, William had planned a special performance for the SpringBonnie suit to commemorate the time it had taken for him to finish building the first prototype of the character. He couldn’t help, in his irritation, but take a shot at Henry when he had been helping him suit up.

“Thinking about adopting, Henry?”

“Pardon??”

“My son wants to move in with you.”

Henry paused. “We’ve briefly discussed it, yes. He’s a growing boy, practically an adult. He already works his own job. He needs to get out of the nest, stretch his wings.”

“Out of the nest and into another, if that’s what you call independence…”

“Listen, I’m sure you don’t need reminding, but if I were in your position I’d watch my tone when speaking to someone who helps you put on such a hazardous machine.”

William sighed shallowly, feeling the cool metal inches from his body. “Forgive my tongue. You’ll feel the same way when Charlotte wants to move out.”

“She prefers Charlie, and we’ll see. Break a leg.”

“Haha, yes. Break a leg…” The double entendre wasn’t lost on him. William cleared his head, easily finding his way into character before stepping out into the main dining hall. He performed a few classic joke routines with Freddy as a stand-in for FredBear, as well as renditions of Come Fly With Me and Rock Around The Clock. Finally, he ended the performance with a dance routine to 9 to 5. He had planned, as soon as the performance was done, to go straight back to the costumes and repairs room to take the suit off, or at least to reset the springlocks. He hadn’t expected the swaths of children, as well as adults who missed the old restaurant, that greeted him as he stepped off stage. He greeted everyone in character while trying to move quickly toward the costumes and repairs room… he could hear the clicking of the gears becoming incessantly faster, playing in time with the increasing rhythm of his heart.

“Jesus Christ, not this way…!” He hissed to himself within the mask as the metal began to press harshly into his flesh. “Henry! HENRY, EMERGENCY!”

Henry appeared at his side as he felt his skin breaking under the synthetic skeleton. “What’s--”

“The springlocks, Henry!” William choked out as the crowd around them began to murmur in concern.

“Somebody call 911!” Henry shouted before guiding William into the costumes and repairs room. He quickly began getting the suit off of his business partner, watching, horrified, as blood gushed from where the endoskeleton had begun to tear William apart. By the time the suit was off, the paramedics had arrived, rushing William out of the building. He swam in and out of consciousness as his life flashed before his eyes. As he was removed from the premises, all of his creations’ eyes were locked on him.

Can we have a child (or human) beat the ever loving crap out of a big animatronic and down an entire saltshaker’s worth of pure salt

This doesn’t have to be serious nor accepted I just need your version of unadulterated chaos

-chaos feddy

What's the saying? I failed successfully?

chaos feddy, I hope my offering appeases you. In my defense, I'm a very organized person, and I swear, there was no planning, or first drafts, or editing! I deserve half-credit!!

NOT MEANT FOR EVERYONE

Contant Warnings: Mentions of body horror. Mentions of murder. Off-screen death, alluding to a death scene. Cursing. Slight gore. Dark themes.

_________________________

It started with a phone call. 

He didn’t know what to expect. Maybe his boss demanding he come in sooner to help clean the restaurant due to someone calling out sick. Maybe a ‘coworker’ chewing him out before realizing they’re yelling at the wrong person and promptly hang up without an apology. 

“Schmidt, Freddy needs your help.” 

Right, he’s Mike this time around. He almost forgot. 

Well don’t leave poor Bonnie hanging.

...wait, that’s Bonnie on the other end? 

It takes Mike a moment to process everything that’s happened in the span of 5 seconds. Starting with a phone call from Fazbear’s, apparently with an animatronic who’s been trying to kill him nightly on the other end, who’s never spoke a single word to him, now asking for his help. 

“Who is this?” 

He knows it’s the towering purple bunny. Because despite never having been spoken to and only subjected to blank stares as he twitches in the hopes of spooking Mike enough to get slopy, Ennard’s correct on placing the familiar voice. 

But just because he has an endoskeleton inside him to help listen in on secret conversations between animatronics doesn’t mean he wants to reveal it. 

“A certain someone who promises an easy night if you help Freddy.” 

Ah, so they’re playing this game. “Can I at least know what I’m coming into Definitely Not My Boss?” 

The line goes silent. And while Mike would like to imagine what’s happening, he’s a bit in the dark. Especially considering Ennard’s withholding crucial conversation. 

You said you didn’t want to eavesdrop.

“I’m on my way.” 

The voice definitely not belonging to the animatronic named Bonnie now you’re just being petty sputters. “Really? Uh, hurry then! See you soon!” 

Mike quickly throws his uniform for the night shift on. Possibly a little worried about it currently being 9 o’clock. If his job has taught him anything, it’s that time flies. 

He’s heard enough conversations between the animatronics about the whole ‘hunt down the night guard’ being just a game to them. A justified game he can’t bring himself to get upset over despite his life being on the line. But a game means rules, and he’s safe as long as he follows them. 

If he looses track of time, hopefully Bonnie wasn’t lying having an easy night. 

It takes ten minutes to get to the restaurant. And maybe he’s blowing his cover a bit hesitating at the door, afraid of throwing them open with the knowledge murderous animatronics are already free-roaming and well aware he was on his way. But despite the fact Ennard’s proven he’s not killable, it’s still not pleasant. 

The first thing he’s aware of is Foxy wiping his eye with a hook as if he was crying, a small chuckle echoing through his voice box. The second is Bonnie trying his hardest not to allow a smile to slip. The third is Freddy looking distraught as he...dodges a little kid. 

Mike needs the context. 

”You’re doing good, Fred.” 

“I thought you said you called the night guard!” 

“I hope he’s taking his time, I’m kind of enjoying the show.” 

“Too late, Schmidt’s here.”

Said man tenses as Foxy’s words register for all of them. Three sets of eyes focus on him, though Freddy immediately looks down as his attacker shouts a war cry, and Chica finally joins the scene by peering out of the hallway. 

“Was starting to doubt you actually called him, Bonnie,” she smirks. 

“I was hoping he didn’t,” Foxy grins as he watches the brown bear continue to hop around. 

“We mean no harm,” Bonnie begins as his hands are raised in a sign of surrender. Mike pauses as it becomes clear he’s being addressed. The red eyes that always sent shivers down his spine finally holding something like respect rather an animosity. “As you can see, Freddy needs a little help.” 

“Call his parents already!” 

Mike finds a giant smile spreading across his face at the distress in Freddy’s voice. Toward the very person the bear has been trying to kill for about a month now. Unable to help himself because he never thought he’d see this side. At least, not as a night guard. 

Focus, Mike.

Right, right. He’s got a job to do. 

“LET HIM GO!” 

The kid running around Freddy’s feet hadn’t stopped his lunges, swings, or kicks despite someone having walked through the door. The look on the boy’s face who can’t be more than 10 years old shows a level of dedication Mike wishes he had. 

You haven’t forgotten the whole reason you’re here, have you?

“Alright, break it up. Can’t have Freddy in pieces.” 

Mike looks more confident than he feels approaching the kid and animatronic. Because he’s putting himself within grabbing distance of someone who will happily shove him into a suit. Leave Ennard to slowly piece him together and restart completely from square one. 

He knows how much the four adore kids. But who’s to say they won’t see him as a threat and simply shield the boy’s eyes as he’s taken care of. Cover his ears in the hopes it drowns out his pleading screams as he’s dragged backstage, his last moments recorded under Cam 5. 

That’s definitely a way to tell just how terrified he’s been of finally getting caught. 

They called you here. Bonnie promised no harm. 

Mike glances toward the bunny. Remembers the snippets of conversation via telepathy by electronics. Knows the purple animatronic is a well-known asshole. 

I’ll keep you safe.

Now that he can trust. 

“Hey kiddo,” the man begins. He stops a few feet away from the duel, crouching down to be on the same level as the kid not pulling any punches with the way he nearly stumbles after every swing. It takes all of Mike’s self control not to flinch whenever Freddy steps out of the way, worried he might get crushed by the 1,000 plus pound animatronic. “What are you beating poor Fredbear over?” 

Wrooooong name. 

“He has my brother!” makes everything come to a screeching halt, and Mike is trapped in wide, dark green eyes filled with desperation. 

And he’s no longer inside the restaurant afraid for his life. 

He’s standing inside another location. Similar. Different animatronics standing on the stage. 

An animatronic that’s malfunctioning. A tall figure rushing forward. To save- 

You’re not there anymore.

Mike blinks, watches as the scene in front of him melts away, back in front of a little boy currently ranting. 

“-and Jake is never wrong so Freddy has my brother, and I need to get him out!” 

What did he miss? 

”His friend is a Grade A asshole.” 

“He is, but you can’t deny the logic behind it.” 

“Freddy, maybe you should pick the poor kid up.” 

“The lad needs Schmidt, not us.”

He’s still lost. Great. 

...no? Ennard’s not going to help? 

Are you surprised?

Nope. 

“Okay, hold on,” Mike murmurs, his hands up in a motion for the kid to slow down, uncertain as tears threaten to fall as the small chest heaves in near hyperventilation. 

...what does he do? It’s been a while since he’s interacted with children. And the last time he did it did not end well His proof is the fact there’s a sentient machine living inside him. The worst part is how snarky it is. 

You enjoy it.

“So, Jake says the Fazbear ghost story deals with your brother?” 

The boy hesitates. Fists clenching up before his head tilts. “G-Ghost story?” 

“Oh yeah,” Mike continues. Glad he didn’t mess everything up taking a shot in the dark. “There was a rumor that started about spirits haunting the animatronics. Spooky, right? But I promise, that was from foreeeeever ago, before you were born.” 

“Really? So it’s an old story?” 

“Super old. I mean, look at me. I know it because I’m ancient.” 

The kid giggles, the tears from before disappear as a giant smile spreads across his face. “You are old.” 

“Hey!” 

Mike rolls his eyes as he ruffles the tufts of blond hair, potentially silently hoping he doesn’t truly look over 25 years old. Some things he can’t control ever since Ennard became a part of his life, and that’s not looking like a walking corpse. He’ll just say some days are better than others. Thank something he works the night shift. 

“I’m Mike by the way.” 

“Daniel!” 

The man smiles at the complete turn from needing to beat Freddy up, to happily holding a conversation with the only other seemingly human person. “Well met, Daniel. Now, important question, is Freddy out of time-out?” 

The bear goes tense as the kid whirls around to size up the animatronic. “Do you promise to be nice to Mr. Night Guard?” 

Mike feels like he’s missing something. A big something. Especially when blue eyes look over at him as ears flatten. “You have my word, Mr. Smith.” 

”Nice to meet you, Mike!” a young man with strawberry hair smiles. Excited to have a ‘partner’ on the job. “Finally, I can get some sleep.”

...oh. Oh shit. 

Mike-

No. No. Not right now. He just...he needs a moment. 

“How about you wait with them while I call your parents, then?” Mike breathes. Unable to speak above a whisper. He doesn’t even get a confirmation from the boy or the animatronics before he’s all but sprinting for the office. Gasps for air as he holds onto the desk for all that it’s worth. Stares at the crossed out name on the sheet for who works the night shifts. 

Fritz Smith having been ‘fired’ a while ago. 

“That was why you didn’t want to tell me?” 

We both know he’s-

“I swear if you use that bullshit excuse again, I’ll, I’ll...” 

Mike looks up at the spinning fan. Grabs the cupcake sitting beside it and hurls it into the hallway. Doesn’t blink an eye as it causes the unlucky broom closet door to splinter on impact. 

Out of all the kids, why did it have to be Fritz’s brother. 

“Schmidt?” 

“Bonnie, I’m about to turn you into scrap metal.” 

The bunny takes a step back into the hallway to give him some space. “I’m sorry I didn’t warn you.” 

Mike looks up in disbelief, not expecting an apology to come from the murderous animatronic who had wanted to kill his coworker. One that sounds genuine. 

And this, this is why he despises his role in all of this. Because he knows why the taller man had gotten killed. He knows why he’s hunted down relentlessly every night for weeks on end. He understands, and he can’t bring himself to hate them for it. 

But Fritz had a brother. Was clearly a good brother to the kid, because he’s been the only one who’s come searching for their lost family member. 

Mike just wasn’t quick enough. He’s always two steps behind. And no matter what he does, he’ll never get ahead at this rate. 

You know how to give him a second chance.

Because every Afton knows how to properly use remnant. 

“I still really want to turn you into scrap metal.” 

Bonnie gives him a look in the attempt to judge his mood. “I kind of doubt it, pipsqueak.” 

Mike flips through the contact info under Smith, quickly reassuring the frantic parents that their son is safe. The animatronics are happy to take their normal places at his request, not protesting as he sits in the main room with Daniel as they wait. And when a car finally pulls into the parking lot, he’s happy to show the kid out to reunite with his family. 

Then the man is walking down the hall. Sits in his chair. Glances once at the tablet once it strikes midnight. 

His mind is far from surviving the night, though. He’s focused on what Fritz thinks of his suggestion.

He says do it.

[socialbenton]

Oh ok where to start?

To start, let me say: in my personal opinion the lore in fnaf is so conveluted and confusing at this point the best way to enjoy fnaf is to just cherrypick what you like. I used to have a google slides presentation but it got too long.

In the year 1987, in a small town called Hurricane Utah, a child's head got bitten off by an animatronic bear in a freindly small town dinner(Run by William Afton and Henry Emily). This was the cause of parents not watching, deadly animatronic malfunctioning, and bullying. The kid was the child of the restaurant's owner, Williams Afton. He was bullied by his older brother, Michael Afton. After the childs injury, he was sent to the infurmary where he survived for 5 nights but was truamatized by nightmares (making fnaf 4). When he died, William was at his beadside and caught a glimps of a light leaving his son's body and capturing it before it could leave.

William gained an idea to revive his son stole the body and decided to murder to try and learn more about this substance he decided to name remnant at first he killed a child who was sadly sitting out in the rain. Little did he know that the child was Henry's daughter, who had an animatronic built for her to take care of her when he was busy working. This animatornic named the Marionette (or puppet, depending on who you ask), noticed the child missing and went out in the rain to comfort her as she died. This caused the remnant to become attatched to the Marionette and the kid possed it.

Later, William realized he didn't collect the remnant and went a killin again and murdered a child named Susie by luring her to the back rooms. He collected a part of the remnant, but feeling guilty for murdering a child, he tried to kill his workers, but could not capture their remnant (these workers later became Shadow Feeddy and Shadow bony/Rwqfsfasxc [<- my fav char]). Meanwhile, the Marionette finding the body of Suise decided to give her new life by shoving the corspe inside one of the animatronics, Chica, who was possedes by Suises remaining uncollected remnant + her agony. Afton worried where the body went when he came back to clean up, shrugged it, and continued pretending to be a normal businessman.

Afton needing more remnant went on a lil murder spree during a kids birthday, killing Gabriel, Fritz, Jeremey (the first of 4 separate characters named Jeremy), Cassify and, Mike Brooks. He collected them remnant and weent to put it in jars or something. Once again, Marionette shoved their bodys in suits, and so they went in Feeddy, Bonnie, and Foxy. But they were ruining out of animatornics, so Mari shoved the other two in the decomissioned Fredbear, who still had some soul left over from when the bite victum died. (Fun fact we actually have a date for this it lands June 26, i hc still in 1987)

The nasty circumstances of the animatornics having rotting corpse in them cause the place to be shut down only for William and Henry to make a second location and use the old bots for parts. A young worker known as Jeremy Fitzgerald starts working there. While he is working, William gets a killing again, and the new animatronics all become possessed and become to hate adults because they can't identify who the killer is. Jeremy gets moved to dayshift and when the animatronics become active they bite Jeremy causing a second bite of 87. (I headcanon this is why there is so much confusion around the bite of 87, there are 2 one in spring and one in november. The stupid 1 in 100 chance of seeing a tv saying 1983 is stupud and probably just when the franchise gained a show like "fazbear and friends since 1983" or something there is so much more evidence that it should have been 1987.)

Meanwhile, William afton decided that a more streamlined method of murder would make life easier and founded Circus Baby's Pizzaworld with animatornics meant to lure children away, distract parents, and capture their bodies/remnant. This failed horribly as His daughter, Elizabeth, had wandered off from him and gotten murdered by Circus baby. William shit it down, blaming it on a gasleak, and went crazy from greif as all attempts to raise his child from the dead have failed.

I have to get ready for work. I'll send more soon!!! Ty for letting me ramble. Im currently working on writing a fanfic of my headcanon timeline, but it's going very slowly.

okay. so where does the security officer come in? is that jeremy fitzgerald? also the only thing i know about fnaf lore is purple man.

The Fox and the Bear (part 1)

"Hello kids! A-A-And welcome to F-Freddy Fazbear's P-Pizzeria!" Freddy exclaimed, a creepy look spread across his once happy face. His blue eyes seemed different, and his hat an tie seemed stained or something. They were a dark green. The date was November 26th, 1984. I stared sourly at the table in front of me... and Cristy held a solemn expression. "What happened to that ball of sunshine..." She mumbled.

I didn't know... nobody seemed to know why the animatronics whole demeanor seemed to change. "Maybe he just misses the Boseman kids. Ya know." I said. "Girls! Can you help me move the main trio off the stage and into Pirate's Cove!?" Phillip yelled at us from across the room. "Sure Mr. Guy! One sec!" Cristy said. "I call dibs on Freddy!" I squeaked. "Of course you do." Cristane scoffed.

Phillip had already started to move Bonnie. Freddy was my favorite. Can you blame me? I really liked Foxy too... but he had been acting weird lately. Like all the crew had. It was really sad. I walked over to the stage, and my best friend followed behind me.

"What do you think happened?" She whispered. "To all the kids I mean." She whispered. I felt my heart fall into my stomach. "I think William did it... honestly. He's never liked kids... and he hated the Boseman kids." I whispered. "Why would my Uncle kill my friends?" She asked. "I don't know." I whispered. Christane Kile had been adopted by Vincent and Scott Afton after they got married. I already knew the two, and me and Cristy just seemed to click. We both had an interest in music, me being a good singer and she could totally rock out on a guitar.

But... what else could have happened to Gabriel? He wouldn't just run off would he? I mean... it was Gabriel Boseman we were talking about. He would never do such thing. There was a chance he was kidnapped... but... those words told me otherwise. "There's the most of Cassidy Boseman's blood... but there also seems to be a lot of Gabriel's." The voice said. I hid around the hall... where the "secret hideout" had been. I covered my mouth. "What do you think happened?" Another voice asked. "There's too much to say any of these kids are alive." I heard the first say, ignoring the second's question.

I felt tears clouding my eyes and I stared down. "Oi!" Cristy snapped, slapping me in the shoulder. I ran into the stage after being caught up in the flashback. I coughed in pain from running into the hard stage. "Ow. Fu-" "Please watch your mouth Miss (L/n)." Phillip said. Wow. Dad vibes (Ketchup). "Sorrry Daddd." I joked. He raised an eyebrow at me and Cristy laughed. I climbed onto the stage and stared up at the huge animatronic. "Arent these things supposed to be kid friendly? How come they're so tall? I'm sure you've asked Mr. Emily or Mr. Afton." I said. "Henry said it was because of all the programming and such. Mechanics... they work real well, they're just big." He said.

I shrugged and poked Freddy. "Come on my guy, to the other stage we go." I said. He didnt move. He just stared down at me. "Please?" I asked him. He still just stared, meaninglessly. "I'll boop your nose!" I snapped. He instantly started moving after I said that. "IT WORKED!!! HOLY SHI-" "MISS (L/N)!!! LANGUAGE!!!!" Phillip snapped. "Sorrrrey..." I said. Freddy climbed onto the stage and stood in his spot... Bonnie beside him. "Chica. Les go bish." Cristy said. She actually listened to Cristy and followed her.

.

《Hours Later...》 (lol last scene was pure crack)

.

"Everyone out please! Thank you!" I heard Phill yell. Me and Cristy were brainstorming in the girls bathroom. Which was pretty clean, being a bathroom. I sat on the counter and Cristy stood. "Come on. I have an idea." She said. We peeked out, and Phillip was stomping to Mr. Emily's office.

"Okay. Now." I said. We went over to Fredbear, who seemed to be panting. I climbed onto the stage and glanced at Freddy, who had an even creepier expression on than earlier. "Since when did Freddy have a unibrow?" I asked Cristy. She snorted. "Uh... maybe Gabriel drew it on him. With sharpie." She said. She tied her messy hair back.

"Alright. Test one." She mumbled. She knocked on Fredbear's normally hollow sounding stomach... which now it sounded full. "The hell?" I mumbled. "Language (Y/n)." Cristy teased. My cheeks tinted pink. "Aw shut up." I said. "Okay. Help me pull." She said. I nodded, and we both gripped the stomach plate of the yellow bear I noticed stains around it. We took one hard yank and we both fell back. "Ow my ass." I whined. I opened my eyes and cold, light blue eyes stared back. Cassidy's body was shoved into the bear.

A pure scream of horror escaped my lips and I fell back off the stage. As I took in the smell, vomit splattered against the ground. It burned the hell out of the back of my throat. Warm tears streamed down my face and I stared, shriveled back against the ground... at the girls body. Phillip came running, and William waltzed in right after.

"I-It's Cassidy." Cristy stammered. "I kinda like Cassidy... is that weird?" Cristy asked me one morning. "No of course not. Hey! You take after your dads I guess. Am I right?" I told her. She laughed a little. Now tears were streaming down her face as she pulled the girls body carefully from the bear. Multiple of her limbs appeared to be broken... and stab wounds littered her body. The taste of Dr. Pepper was on my tongue. Gross.

I hiccupped and William sighed. "I was afraid this would happen." He said. He made this whole speech on how Boseman broke his nose. "It was your own damn fault jackass! -hic-." I snapped. "Shut up you little brat." he snapped. "You might've killed them. That's why you don't care!" I snapped. "Come on Cristy. You need to get home." William said. "Call my dad. I want him to pick me up." Cristy sobbed, holding Cassidy's body close. My heart dropped to my stomach again.

I looked at Freddy, and his head was turned towards William. "Well then. I will." He said. He ran off to call Vincent. "Go look in Freddy (Y/n)..." Cristy mumbled. I walked over and the animateonics head snapped towards me. His jaw dropped down and his head tilted to the side. Green... they were green. The bowtie and top hat. I pulled on Freddy's stomach... and I couldn't see in properly. I reached in and my fingers touched ice cold skin. I gripped it, and it felt like an arm. I pulled and I saw who it belonged to. Gabriel's scared... pained face was staring at me. His once life filled eyes were almost white the blue was so light.

To Be Continued...

Sorry it took longer than I said it should. I got caught up in homework. School and all. Sucks right?

ok bear with me, would the old spirt processed animatronics still try to kill Vanessa because she's a security guard, or are they friendly because she is a woman and there murder is a man? basically everyone is freaked out by the old gang but Vanessa is like "really they seem cool to me, sure they kinda uncanny, but they do a mean cross word"

Less of a focus on others being freaked out, but Vanessa’s got her favorites! We’ve got another similar set-up as Something Old, Something New/The Thing About Night Guards, but no attack on Gregory OR Vanessa this time! I’m quite pleased with how this one turned out.

Favoritism

“Not that I really have any room to judge,” Gregory said as the elevator began to move upward. “But why are the old animatronics your favorites?” 

Vanessa considered her answer as she sipped from her coffee. “You don’t like them?” she asked in the meantime. 

He shrugged. “I don’t dislike them, I guess. I mostly just think its weird to see such different versions of Freddy and Chica. And Freddy said Roxy is technically based on Foxy, too.” He made a face. “Explains why they don’t really get along, doesn’t it.” 

Snorting, Vanessa nodded. The old versus new animatronics weren’t exactly hostile to each other, but Roxy and Foxy in a room together was a fistfight waiting to happen. 

“I don’t really have an exact reason,” Vanessa finally said. “They’re a lot quieter and do what I say without snarking back at me. Conversation is nice and all, but I only have so much patience for Monty and Roxy some nights. And… I dunno, it’s cute, the way they kinda just follow me around like ducklings. Hard not to get attached, really.” 

The OG band rarely spoke at all, out loud or in the internal communications system that ran between all animatronics in the pizzaplex. It resulted in some interesting games of charades, but Vanessa hardly minded. They were overall much less excitable than the Glamrocks, and she was but a perpetually exhausted young adult who needed at least three cups of coffee just to work her night shift. The calm presence of old-Chica hanging out with her in the office or Bonnie shuffling at her side during her rounds was… nice. 

And she couldn’t lie. She preferred the fuzzy suits to the gleaming metal. 

They never initiated hugs, and only rarely initiated any contact at all, but not a one of the four OG bots would deny her one. Sometimes, they’d nudge or pat her shoulder or back, even. And if it was obvious she was having a bad day, they’d hover terribly conspicuously, which was as close to offering a hug as they would ever get. 

She kinda loved them for it. For the awkward but sincere attempts to comfort her. 

There was an endearing clumsiness to them that Vanessa knew most people saw as flaws, as old machinery gone outdated, as programming that couldn’t keep up with their newer, sleeker versions. They were like kids clomping around in their parents’ too-large shoes, siblings stacked beneath a trenchcoat. 

Knowing their history—going to the effort of tracking it down, no matter how hard Fazbear Entertainment tried to bury it—she sometimes wondered how far off that comparison really was. 

Maybe that was another reason she preferred them to the Glamrocks, one she wouldn’t voice, even if she had the words to do it. Maybe there was something about taking care of these had-been-kids, these age-old victims, that really made her job feel worth it.

The elevator let them off on their floor, and she watched with a fond smile as Gregory ran ahead to where Freddy waited for him. Even before he could be scooped up into Freddy’s arms, he was chatting away a mile a minute about the soccer game his class had played in PE that day. 

With her kid delivered to his babysitter—not that she’d say as much to either—Vanessa started to turn to head toward the main security office. Before she could, though, old-Freddy suddenly appeared from behind Freddy, making her stop in her tracks. The two Freddys exchanged a quick look, the newer offering a smile and nod to the older, as they crossed paths. 

Huh. Apparently, Gregory wasn’t the only human whose arrival was highly anticipated. Old-Freddy paused beside her and looked down at Vanessa, waiting. 

A warm, fuzzy feeling took root behind her ribs. Was this how Gregory felt, always knowing his Freddy was waiting to see him again? 

Old-Freddy stayed in step with her as they set off, ready for another night. 

[artistic-mathematics]

sentience in animatronics, particularly in sister location?

Major FNAF lore spoilers ahead. Also, this is a very long theory post. Consider yourself warned.

This is a list of the main animatronics that are possessed, or have sentience in some way or another. (This list might be a little shady, so bear with me):

Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Golden Freddy (First Missing Children’s incident, FNAF 1)

Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica (Second Missing Children’s incident, FNAF 2)

Mangle (from the fruit maze minigame)

Puppet/Marionette/Lefty (for... obvious reasons)

Springtrap (also for obvious reasons)

Looking to each of their behaviors, it’s shown that the person who possess said animatronic (aside from Puppet) were stuffed into their respectful suit, which is how said animatronic gains sentience. For the Puppet, Charlie’s spirit kind of merged with the Puppet’s because the puppet wanted to protect Charlie, even after death (or something like that. That’s basically how MatPat explained it in one of his videos.) For this, we’ll kind of just... ignore the Puppet, because that’s clearly an exception and isn’t really useful here.

Now, if we look into everyone else’s behavior, we see the following. The main animatronics and the toy animatronics are weary of adults (including Mangle, btw!), especially night guard, because they look the most similar to William Afton (or their murderer). Springtrap is, well, William Afton, and he always comes back because he has the plot armor of every Disney princess ever. They all have a proper motive -- the children and the dog looking to avenge their own deaths, while William Afton murders more people and does more of his twisted experiments with souls and wreaks more havoc overall.

Sister Location is different. We know for a fact that Elizabeth Afton possesses Circus Baby, but even then, it’s an extremely fuzzy grey line. What was her motive in killing her own brother? Michael mentions that the Funtimes thought he was William, so actually, what was her motive in killing her own father?

For my fic (which is why I... started overanalyzing this to begin with...), I’ve written this off as the fact that maybe Elizabeth’s soul wasn’t fully merged with Baby’s yet. There seems to be a bit of a consensus on there needing to be time before a spirit fully merges with the animatronic, so maybe that is the case. Maybe Baby just had sentience and decided to do whatever it took to leave, despite knowing that he was Elizabeth’s father and her own creator.

We know that in FNAF 6, Elizabeth has some control or some say over Scrap Baby. I get that an animatronic literally made by William could call him “daddy”, but realistically, Elizabeth would be more likely to do so.

For the sake of this post, let’s just assume that Elizabeth had no say over Baby in Sister Location, but in part gave Baby sentience (because she obviously is sentient by then). The true motive that Elizabeth has, while actually possessing Baby, is to make her father proud, considering that the very last thing she did while alive was disrespect orders and disappoint him. She wants to make amends and make him happy.

We have all of these possessed animatronics with a clear end motive, one that relates directly to their death in some way. So what on earth is going on with the other Funtimes?

Let’s start with Ballora. The most commonly accepted theory is the theory MatPat proposed, that Ballora is actually Mrs. Afton (whose name has not been confirmed yet). The biggest issue I see with this theory, though, is the fact that not once does she actually display true sentience throughout all of Sister Location. Sure, she has a few lines that were definitely not coded in, but that doesn’t really determine anything. There is one major difference between Baby (who we’ve already determined to be sentient) and Ballora,

Ballora doesn’t learn. I don’t think Baby only meant that Ballora couldn’t learn to pretend in order to avoid getting scooped. When Baby first mentions Ballora, she simply tells you how to get past her. Ballora is predictable, and Baby knows that. She knows exactly what Ballora will do, because she doesn’t learn from her failures. You’d think, after being in an underground facility for so long, that any human (even a child!) would be willing to change their tactics. And yet now we’re talking about a fully-grown adult who’s possessing this animatronic? It just doesn’t seem likely.

I do believe that she is at least partially sentient, though, due to her voice lines and the ability to at least listen to Baby. She also has a less than fun reaction to the controlled shocks and is very, very hostile to you after that, showing that she has at least some capacity to understand that Michael hurt them. Also, if Ennard’s inner dialogue is to be believed in night 5, then I can see Ballora bringing up the fact that he had hurt them. (I do believe that Baby planned this whole thing out and told the other Funtimes to act hostile towards Michael, but uh, Ballora may have just held a grudge regardless.)

Another thing that’s worth mentioning is that it’s been generally confirmed that Circus Baby’s Pizza World opened after the first missing children’s incident. If this is to be believed, then William Afton would have already done experiments with remnant and whatnot. In this case, I think it’s actually quite likely that Ballora may have had Mrs. Afton’s remnant, but not her spirit. This would explain why she’s not as sentient as Baby, but is at least somewhat sentient. I think this was extremely deliberate -- I do agree with the part of the theory in which Ballora was modeled after Mrs. Afton in some way. He must’ve done this to honor her memory or something along those lines.

Now onto Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy. We know that the both of them are also sentient in their own way, considering the fact that they were also able to listen to Baby (while Funtime Foxy does have the same motives as Ballora when it comes to attacking Michael, Funtime Freddy does not. so I do believe that Baby must’ve talked to him beforehand to some extent in acting hostile.) My theory is that both Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy must’ve had remnants of other people, since they both also seem to have at least partial sentience like Ballora. But who, and why? It makes sense for Ballora to have Mrs. Afton’s if she’s modeled after her. But what’s the point of making these other two sentient?

The best solution I can come up with is to enhance the AI in them, so they do a better job of kidnapping and killing children... or whatever. I have absolutely no proof to back this up, though.

Then, well, Ennard happens. And the three of them vote to kick Baby out. While the three of them kinda just... let things happen in Sister Location, I think the reason for their rebellious behavior was actually due to Elizabeth being merged with them. I think that maybe she passed on some of that sentience to the other three, giving them just enough willpower to boot Baby. Do I have evidence for this? No. Is this entirely based off of headcanons? Yup. Honestly, I’m just spitballing at this point. I am so, so very tired of trying to figure out how sentience even works in FNAF at this point.

(Don’t even get me started on Bon Bon, the Bidybabs, and Minireenas. I have no goddamn clue how any of them even fit. The Bidybabs saying “She’s watching us!” or something along those lines just... my one braincell is crying.)

Anyway, please let me know what you think. This was long and convoluted and I want some opinions from other people, because I really am just overthinking all of this now.

PS. I have no idea how this remnant stuff even works. Couldn’t you tell? I probably should’ve researched it but I’m too braindead for that now. Literally putting this out there before anyone flames me.

(if there is any more trigger warnings I need to add, please tell me!!)

So, for those who don't know, I have a FNAF au where all characters are human and only the more evil-seeming or just evil in general characters are the only actual horrible characters. For example, SpringTrap is actually a murderer, FunTime Freddy is basically a psycho and has BonBon and Bonnet to comfort him/help him with his problem, etc. These are just some notes and ideas for my au. If anybody wants to give me ideas for it, please tell me! I'd gladly listen to what you have to offer. And if you want me to, I'd gladly put the credit for the idea (like, if somebody gave me an idea, I, when I mention it, would mark it as a requested idea with who gave the idea). Without further ado, lets begin!

Spring Locks:

"Spring Lock/s" is a disease/illness or whatever you want to call it. The characters who have the disease (that are the only ones people know of having it) are SpringTrap, PlushTrap, GlitchTrap, Cassidy and Spring Bonnie. The Spring Lock Disease/Illness is something that somebody will get if they had serious injury in the past and needed to basically get revived in a way, meaning the person is basically dead but brought back to life due to a ton of surgery and other unknown things that only the people who know how to, and have permission to, work with. All that is known is that some of the bones are replaced with robotic parts, and a ton of blood has to be given to the person. It is a very rare thing that could be worked on somebody, due to it being known just to kill people sooner than they are supposed to die. Basically when the surgery happens, the person who gets it is known to be sick for, the lowest time being a month, longest time being a year.

TLDR: Spring Lock(s) is a disease that happens when somebody is close to death and gets crazy surgery and gets sick for up to a month to a year.

The Children:

As known in the original game, the "missing" children were all killed one way or another. The most likely being stabbed to death, but in the au, I thought, "what if they all weren't just stabbed? What if they died in different ways?", so here are the deaths I have for each child.

Gabriel - Stabbed to death

Jeremy - Poison

Susie - Libs torn apart

Fritz - Run over by a bus

Cassidy - The Spring Lock Disease

Charlie - Plane crash

Elizabeth - Hung

Chris (Crying Child) - Head cut off

Michael - Libs torn apart

Gregory - Hasn't died

Sorry if some of those were more sensitive topics than others. I just wanted to come up with original ideas... I will eventually describe how and why they died *BESIDES GREGORY* since they might not make sense.

Soul Possession:

Since the children's souls possess the animatronics, I was thinking, instead of that, what if the character and the child shared a mind/actions? Here's what kid shares a mind with who:

Gabriel - Freddy

Jeremy - Bonnie

Susie - Chica

Fritz - Foxy

Cassidy - Golden Freddy (Gavyn)

Charlie - Puppet/Marionette

Elizabeth - Circus Baby

Evan (Crying Child) - Golden Freddy (Gavyn)

Michael - Re-incarnation of himself

Gregory - Hasn't died

So basically, the character can make their own actions, and the kid(s) just interact with the character when they want to (or, in Goldie/Gavyn's case, they can either interact with him or they can interact with eachother).

Part two, coming.. Eventually!

[mikessuffering]

*takes of Anon glasses* alright. Let's show you a different version of yourselves! I gotta do em on at a time tho-

This is princess Cassidy, around age 3. She had a very different life-

After being murdered at the age of three, she went on to possess the Springlock Freddy prototype animatronic. The animatronics in her universe have souls of their own, made of magic. Each animatronic had a different relationship with their spirits. Freddy and Gabriel had a father son relationship, Chica had a more playful version of mother and daughter relationship with Susie, Bonnie was a father figure to Jeremy and also a mentor, Fritz was Foxy's first mate and son, while Cassidy and Golden Freddy where like siblings.

The spirits don't remember who killed them, except for Cassidy. All the spirits were too scared to get close to anyone, so the animatronics killed nightguards so Cassidy would feel safe enough to check and see if it's the killer. They ended up killing thousands of nightguards before they found him. Many of those nightguards were innocent, and/or played vital roles at home, with their deaths effecting more people than just the nightguards.

But after killing William Afton, using Springbonnie. Cassidy lied and said it wasn't him. Because she and Goldie made a "friend" named Chara. Chara was a demon of Genocide, forced to feed on something called L.O.V.E that can only be obtained by murder. Afton had actually made a deal with this demon, and they're why he killed in the first place in this AU. Cassidy wanted to continue killing people so Chara would still be fed. What is "L.O.V.E" you ask? It stands for Level Of ViolencE.

After years of murder, and fruitless searches for Afton, humans find out where all the nightguards are disappearing to. They try and go to war with the machines, but the animatronics surrender and pleaded for their lives. Not wanting to explain why Freddy and his friends were killed on live TV, humans decided to lock animatronics underground with an ancient spell.

Skip a few years, and a society has been started underground. Made up of old animatronics, and nightguards possessing the suits they were stuffed in. Freddy went on to be king of animatronics, Foxy the captain of the Royal Guard, Bonnie the Royal scientist, and Chica just opened a shop that sells baked goods. Golden Freddy goes on to be like the prince of the underground.

Skip another few years, and doctor Bonnie did the impossible. He found a way to raise the dead. He brings back Cassidy, and she gets a second chance at life. She becomes the princess of the underground, and she and Golden Freddy become the underground's hope that they can right their wrongs and have peace with humans.

Here's a photo of the golden royals. In this picture Cassidy has grown, and turned ten.

Your opinions?

"Wow! Thats a really cool Au! The storyline makes sense. The only thing I didn't really understand, is why I was killing. I would never actually kill people, and once again, sorry to Mike, I thought you were William. But the fact that we were killing the nightguards to find the killer made sense. But this is an au, so I completly understand things are different. And I like the fact you made it make sense. I also love the relationship between me and golden freddy, that concept makes a lot of sense, its kind of like the relationship between me and CC. We are like siblings. And don't tell Micheal B. (Micheal Brooks) and Kelsey, but he is my favorite other soul that lives in Golden Freddy. So i'll give it a 9.5/10. Also, the rest of the Golden Freddy souls say the same." Cassidy (golden freddy) says.

"Don't mind Cassidy, she can sometimes get a little bit off topic. But she's still pretty good with reviews. I agree with her, I really like this AU and it has a good concept that makes more sense then other AUS. Also, love the drawing, I could never make something so good! 10/10" Charlie (puppet) adds on.

"I really like this AU, it makes sense unlike some other aus with stuff like 'Elizabeth is a brat' and stuff like that. Like Charlie says, I really love the artwork, and also, the plot twist with the L.O.V.E thing was really good, I wasn't expecting that. 10/10 for me." Gabriel (freddy) says.

"Aigh't mate, I'm just gon' make this simp'le 11/10. This 'AU' is great." Fritz (foxy) says.

Jeremey (bonnie) nods. "Yes, I agree with everyone. I really like this au, it makes sense, and it had a great story line. You don't see that in many aus, 12/10 for me." he adds on.

"Like everyone said, this au makes sense and has good plot points. It also sounds like something that could happen! Definitely. I also like me and Chica's relationship, I wish I had another person in this suit. As much as I know I'm lucky to have my own personal space, it gets a bit lovely sometimes, you know? So, to sum it up, i really like this au. 10/10." Suzie (chica) says.

"Thank you for asking, @glitterdragonthegreatprotector , we really appreciate your hard work on this au. Also, great drawing! I 'L.O.V.E' this au. have a good day mate!" Mike says attempting a dad joke at the end.

"CC says; that joke was terrible Mike." Cassidy replies.

"Your just jealous of my sense of humor!" Mike says jokingly. Then he laughs.

"Thanks for asking, now if you don't mind me my shift is over for the night, and tomorrow they are going to go back to killing me. See you later." and then goes out the door.

hello everyone, this is the mod. I just wanted to say, that if you want to talk to alive, soul, or undead version of a character please specify. Right now, you were just talking to undead! fnaf 1 and undead! mike afton. So yeah, just so you guys know. But I do also really like this Au. 15/10 for me. See you all later! -mod

My problems with FNAF Lore

Hey guys. I felt like I wanted to explain my problems with the FNAF lore, and how the lore was ruined for me years ago.

My history with the franchise and the lore Now, I discovered the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise back in 2014 through DanTDM's Let's Play of Five Nights at Freddy's 2. It was the first time I had ever been introduced to the jumpscares and characters in-game. But I actually discovered the first game through a YTP someone made of it. With how little I knew from discovering that YTP, I assumed that Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy were anthropomorphic animals that ran the place, and that Freddy just liked to leave scary stuff in his office because he was a horror guy. That assumption was way off and DanTDM's Let's Play let me discover that the antagonists weren't anthropomorphic animals. I then discovered Markiplier's videos on the games in 2014, and fan-animations of the games like SMG4's Freddy's Spaghettiria series, and Piemations' 5 AM at Freddy's series. Besides the surprising jumpscares, what really got me hooked on the FNAF series was the 80s-90s aesthetics, and the lore behind it all. Around late 2014 and early 2015, I had discovered the hidden lore series by MrCreepyPasta, which was what got me interested in exploring the lore. I loved the FNAF lore when it was just, "Man kills 5 kids in pizzeria joint and the animatronics become haunted by the spirits of the kids". This made it feel much more realistic, as murder of kids in a place like this can happen in real life. The fact that the staff weren't behind any of it, and that the guards were originally just some average joes who got hired for a night guard position without knowing the dangers of it was also very realistic too. And the inclusion of another tragic event known as the "Bite of '87" was also interesting. But the biggest thing that made the lore have a charm to it, was how there was an implied history of Fazbear Entertainment, and FNAF 2 showed us the history of the place before the tragedies happened, as well as implying that the negative impression was stuck before the murders was also interesting. The lore was interesting back then because of how realistic and mysterious it was. And when the third game came out, it was a great conclusion to the franchise, in which the killer got his comeuppance, leaving the kid's souls to rest in peace. And the killer haunting the suit he died in as an attempt to escape his torment of being trapped in a suit, eventually leaving him to be burned alive in the location he was at was a very nice way to end things. But the way it had expanded on the story by taking place thirty years after the events of the first game, with the unsolved mysteries of Fazbear Entertainment trying to be recreated by people was a good way to expand upon the story. So basically, I prefer the FNAF lore when it was the story of how kids were murdered in a pizzeria joint, and how they eventually got revenge on their killer, while room was made to show us how the pizzeria joint handled this, and how the alleged hauntings were shown through the animatronics being possessed. Because of the lore being so interesting, I tried making up my own timelines to tie the story of the first three games together. And seeing as how the lore was concluded, it should've just ended there, right? Well... it didn't.

Where the problems crept in I think that the problems with the lore crept in with the fourth game. Now, this game could've had potential, as it could've taken place in the location where the withered animatronics were used in before FNAF 2, but it didn't do that. We got instead a child suffering through nightmares, with animatronics that have particularly stupid designs. Plus, what made it worse was that the Bite of 83 was introduced, making the topic of the Bite of'87 confusing since it was implied it happened in the second game, but now it was happening in the fourth game? But then it was revealed to be a separate event, why two separate events of the same thing? What constitutes the idea of establishing a similar event to the Bite of '87? It had nothing to impact the games itself at all. The bigger thing that was confusing is this, Fredbear's Family Diner was implied to have been closed for longer than 1983-1987, and the fact that you see the unwithered versions of the withered animatronics in Fredbear's makes it all the more confusing, since Fredbear's was established as a separate, and early location before it was later re-enfranchised as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. So why retcon what was established in the previous games? Why not just show us in the fourth game what happened with the withered animatronics before they became withered, and then make a fifth game that took place in Fredbear's Family Diner? I don't know why Scott felt the need to retcon things, especially since most people thought that the franchise had already ended with the third game. Later on down the line, Sister Location came out in 2016. And I honestly hate Sister Location, lore-wise that is. The reason I say this is because Sister Location fucked up everything more than the 4th game. This time, there was more retconning, the horror tone and 80s-90s aesthetic was gone, the game felt like Sci-fi and less like the older games. Worse, Purple Guy was given an actual name, and turned from a cold-blooded killer that killed kids because of being a psychopath, into a mad scientist obsessed with placing souls into animatronics using soul juice in an attempt to create murderous animatronics, and he killed kids to do this, but most of them were his own or his friend's kids, Fazbear Entertainment was actually started by this maniac, and Mike Schmidt from FNAF 1 was no longer an average joe working a night shift job, but instead the son of the killer and later became an unrealistic purple zombie that somehow got hired for night shift positions. Jeremy and Fritz were no longer average joes either, and were now aliases for the purple zombie who's actual name was Michael Afton, making Mike Schmidt another alias for this zombie. And now, this was more about a family that was insane to begin with trying to put their own personal demons to rest, rather than the story of the murder of 5 children in a pizzeria joint, and the killer gets his comeuppance while the faceless pizzeria chain tried keep its reputation afloat, eventually failing which lead to the closure of it. All of this shattered how I interpreted the lore. The biggest things that Sister Location fucked up were the following. 1. Taking away the 80s/90s aesthetic. In the first and second game, the game has an 80s and 90s aesthetic with the looks of the locations and decor, as well as the camera sounds sounding like cassette tapes, and the first took place in the early 90s, while the second took place in the late 80s. FNAF 3 kept the 80s/90s aesthetic, and I'd argue FNAF 4 kept the old aesthetic too, such as how old everything looked in FNAF 3, and how the house looks particularly old in FNAF 4. FNAF SL's aesthetics look way too futuristic for a FNAF game, especially since it's said to take place before the first 4 games. 2. Making it more sci-fi. The original FNAF games, and the fourth one were meant to be horror games, and they established this greatly with audio and visual cues, as well as the storyline having a horror-esque feel to it during the first 3 games, and even the 4th game kept. The focus on sci-fi traits or elements in SL kind of kills the horror-esque feel that FNAF originally gave off, especially the whole soul juice and mad scientist part. 3. Making Fazbear Entertainment have an owner. Fazbear Entertainment should've just been left as a faceless corporation that had nothing to do with the murders, the type of company to try and cover up the damage done to their reputation by cutting costs or not batting an eye when a man kills children in their restaurant. 4. Making Mike, Jeremy, and Fritz into aliases. It doesn't make any sense as to why a company would hire a foul smelling zombie who kept changing his name. I think that Mike, Jeremy, and Fritz should've just been average joes that got night guard positions not knowing that their jobs were dangerous and not knowing the hauntings of the pizzeria they applied to work for. And 5. The Afton Family. The Afton Family completely ruined the idea of the children being killed at Freddy's by an unknown man, since now it's just about a family killing his own for a dumb mad science experiment and the son is trying to stop his own father, making it so you no longer play as an average joe that discovers the dark secrets and hauntings of a pizzeria joint, but instead you're just playing as a zombie that needs to kill his own father in order to stop his father from killing anyone else. Seriously, it feels less like a horror game, and now feels more like a badly written self-insert sci-fi story with some bit of horror mixed in. The FNAF series is way too complicated to figure out now due to loads of retconning and unnecessary changes made to the story. Worse, the Nightmare, Funtime, and other animatronics that have been added to the franchise just seems like an excuse for Scott to just add new characters simply to keep the franchise going. Now, let's look at a FNAF fan-game series with a better written story.

Five Nights at Candy's Five Nights at Candy's has a much easier to understand story than FNAF. In the first game, you play as a female night guard at a burger joint where an unfortunate incident occurred between an animatronic and a customer, and an incident involving two kids at the factory where the animatronics were made. The backstory of everything, such as the original location and the burger joint's opening are explained in FNAC 3, showing how two unfortunate incidents at the puppet/animatronic theatre led to the closure of the place. We also learn more about the main character from the first game, and the one who caused the murders as well as the victims. In the second game, everything is concluded with the daughter of the guard solving the mysteries of the old factory. The reason is because Emil Macko managed to actually tell the story in an effective way, without retconning anything and without relying entirely on twists and misdirection.

Conclusion So yeah, I can't stand FNAF lore post-FNAF 4, because of how it became way too confusing to understand, and with how the series started retconning tons of things and making unnecessary changes. And it's amazing how a FNAF fan-game was able to tell its story better than the actual FNAF fan-games. So for me, I'm sticking with the FNAF 1-3 lore, which is my interpretation of it. Before I end this blog though, what's annoying is that no matter if you mention the FNAF 1-3 lore on YouTube, people will instantly start bringing in the modern FNAF lore and correct you, even if you're following you're headcanon.

Little something for everyone while y’all are in quarantine. Part 2 coming whenever.

Transcript under the cut:

Five Nights at Freddy’s. Where do we even start with this one? FNAF is probably one of the most confusing games out there when it comes to trying to figure out what the hell happened in it. Everyone has their own opinions and interpretations, so I figured I’d provide my own.

Do keep in mind that I’m not going to cover every single part of the lore, as some of it’s fairly self-explanatory. Instead, I’m going to focus mostly on FNAF 4, as that’s where this Gordian Knot of confusion really stems from.

Be warned, this video’s going to contain something truly scary: OPINIONS. [scream effect] Yes, my views on the lore are much different than everyone else’s, so don’t get your springlocks set off just because my theories don’t align with yours. Because for starters…

[Why I don’t think Michael is the brother]

[Mob noises]

Okay, okay, hear me out. Basically, there are two main family in FNAF: There’s the Aftons, comprised of William, Elizabeth and Michael. Then there’s the - is this really their name? Really? okay - Emilys, comprised of Henry and Charlie.

However, in the books Charlie had a brother named Sammy. So the question is, is Sammy canon? And the answer is yes: During Stage 01, we see one of the kids disappear when left alone with Spring Bonnie, which parallels Sammy slash Charlie’s kidnapping in Fredbear’s by William.

This raises another question though: Who is Sammy in canon, then? And I’ll jut outright say it: He’s the Bitten Child. Yeah, I’m kind of amazed more people don’t realize this. The Fredbear Plush is implied to be possessed by Charlie, as its talk about putting the Bitten Child back together parallels the Puppet giving cake in Happiest Day, and the empty girl’s room indicates that the Bitten Child has a dead sister - her being the Plush explains why the Fredbear Plush cares so much about the welfare of this random kid.

Likewise, Charlie and Sammy were twins. The Bitten Child and Charlie have the same blocky sprites, and they both have brown hair and brown eyes.

Most importantly, the Bitten Child is spirited to look exactly like the Puppet. Given that he isn’t the one possessing it, the only way this makes sense if the two were related.

Finally, the Bitten Child freaks the hell out when approached by an employee in a Fredbear suit, and the Fredbear plush says that he’ll “know what happens if he catches you”. Many people believe this means the Bitten Child witnessed the children being murdered, but it’s too early in the timeline for that - Phone Guy says in 2 that the Freddy’s where the murders occurred was shut down and left to rot afterward. The restaurant in 4 is still open, meaning the murders haven’t occurred yet - given some other context, it’s likely they died in 1985.

The only other incident the Bitten Child could be reacting to… would be the kidnapping back in Fredbear’s, where William stole one of the twins while in a Spring Bonnie suit. And the only way he would know about it is if he was there during the kidnapping - which is enough for me to say with confidence that the Bitten Child is indeed Sammy.

Also, Sister Location has a lot of kidnapping references. [I kidnapped you.]

Especially in the Immortal and the Restless. Vlad represents William throughout the games - not dong much in FNAF 1, working the night shift in 2, being in the burning building in 3, and the hidden scene representing Baby not killing Michael who she thinks is William. And what is said every episode?

[The baby isn’t mine]

The baby isn’t his because Sammy literally isn’t William’s child; he’s Henry’s.

However, if the Bitten Child is Sammy, then that means this [Older Brother footage] cannot be Michael.

Now, I know all of you smart people out there are already thinking the obvious: The books are an AU. Couldn’t Sammy be the one kidnapped in canon, thus allowing Michael to still be the Brother? And to that I say: …Yeah. If you want to work with Michael being the Brother, then this is the best way to do it, and it’s entirely possible this is the correct answer. …But with that said, I’m not entirely convinced.

[Why Charlie was kidnapped and not Sammy]

For starters, there’s the simple question of motivation. Why would WIlliam be raising Henry’s kid? Killing kids is kind of his M.O.. Even in the books, he killed the child he kidnapped. The idea of him kidnapping and raising a kid is even brought up in the Fourth Closet… then dismissed because it would be out of character for him, which would be strange if he did exactly that in canon.

As established earlier, Sammy also remembers the kidnapping, which would make it weird if he was the one kidnapped and yet is just allowed to freely wander the neighborhood. What’s to stop him from telling someone else, or even just running away?

Moving on to actual evidence, the map in SL’s breaker room lists the FNAF 4 house and the minigame house as two separate observation areas. This could be to differentiate the two for the player, but I don’t know why they’d be separated in-universe unless they were two separate houses. This would also explain why the living rooms don’t look the same and why the grandfather clock is in two different locations.

Likewise, the Fredbear Plush has either a camera or a walkie-talkie in it to spy on Sammy. However, the private room also reveals that William has the FNAF 4 gameplay house bugged. He shouldn’t need to use the Fredbear Plush to spy on Sammy, given that he can watch him both through the house cameras and the (presumable) cameras in Fredbear’s - unless Sammy is still in Henry’s house, which would force William to slip a camera into the place discreetly.

Speaking of the minigame house, there are a few parallels between it and Henry’s house in the books. The house was connected to an underground location in the Twisted Ones, just like it’s connected to the Sister Location in canon. And one of the rooms contains a tiny toy animatronic - just like the ones Henry built for Charlie in the Silver Eyes.

Continuing on that train of thought, let’s look at that tiny Toy Mangle. Assuming the Toy Chica principle is in place here - that being that the literal toys in this game look the same as the Toy Animatronics - the Mangle here looks like the FNAF 2 version of Mangle, not like William’s Funtime Foxy, pointing to it being Henry’s creation and not William’s. The SL extras even reveal that Funfox was supposed to be purple at first, which doesn’t make sense if it was supposed to match the tiny toy version.

But perhaps one of the biggest pieces of evidence regarding this toy is in Mangle’s Quest. While walking, you can encounter a huge silhouette of the Puppet… which makes Mangle look toy-sized in comparison. This only makes sense if this room was Charlie’s, and the Mangle toy was hers.

This also makes sense considering that Sister Location didn’t exist at the time of 4′s release. Scott claimed you could solve the lore back then using only the first four games, and if this was Charlie’s room, you could do it by combining the knowledge of the Fredbear Plush with Sammy’s missing sister and Charlie from the novels. If this is Elizabeth’s room, the only way that could be would be if it was retconned into place behind the scenes.

Additionally, I don’t think Elizabeth’s death is the correct date for this room to be empty in 1983. Handunit says that CBEAR didn’t open until after Freddy’s closed, as it gave them the opportunity to move into the entertainment space without competition. I’d assume this also applies to the original Circus Baby’s Pizza World, which indicates Elizabeth didn’t die until after FNAF 1. Given that Michael still has eyes in FNAF 1, SL in general had to have taken place after it - it’s unlikely William waited 10+ years to finally send Michael to save her, so her death being after FNAF 1 makes more sense timeline-wise.

Meanwhile, Charlie died in the very first Freddy’s location, before the other murders. HW confirms the FNAF 4 location was this first Freddy’s, meaning that she died in 1983. This not only lines up with her death date in the Fourth Closet, but also explains why the room in 4 hasn’t been cleaned out; she only died recently.

This would also explain why Henry claims that no-one was there to save Charlie. It’s his restaurant; wouldn’t he have, like, been there and been watching her if he was the one who brought her in?

And finally, I do have one massive piece of evidence that I feel proves the idea that Charlie is the one who was kidnapped.

[Chica School Days opening]

I know, I know, stay with me. Each of Toy Chica’s husbandos in these cutscenes represent one of William’s victims and how he killed them, as proven by her talking about running over a dog which aligns with Susie’s death in both Fruity Maze and the novels. There are a total of six people she targets.

However, that’s the thing - there are six victims, one for each of the original five - and the Puppet. That means Charlie’s death has to be included in here. And yet, none of the deaths line up with what we see in the minigames… unless you assume Charlie was the one kidnapped. In which case, there is one that fits…

[Toy Chica talking about kidnapping]

There are six deaths, so Charlie must be included. If the only thing that lines up with her death is the kidnapping scene, then Charlie must have been the one who was kidnapped, not Sammy.

But that brings us back to the original problem: If Charlie was the one who was kidnapped, Sammy is still living in Henry’s house. Which means Michael is not the Brother.

[Why do people think Michael is the Brother?]

Let’s move on to explaining away some of the evidence for Michael being the Brother.

The first and most obvious piece is that we play as the Brother in FNAF 4. Michael lives in the FNAF 4 house, so he must be the Brother. Which is a fair piece of evidence. However, I do think there’s something that explains this: Midnight Motorist.

Yes, the reason this minigame has perplexed so many fans might be because they’ve been looking at the entirety of FNAF 4 wrong. Let’s start with the Yellow Guy, who’s likely Henry. Why? Well, he’s driving William’s purple car and yet isn’t purple himself, so he can’t be William yet must have a connection to him. Henry and William were friends and business partners, so the idea of this being a company car or one of them just borrowing it for the weekend makes sense.

Likewise, every minigame and cutscene in FNAF 6 pertains to one of the main characters. The Puppet minigame for, well, the Puppet; Fruity Maze for William slash Scraptrap; and Candy Cadet’s stories for Scrap Baby and Molten Freddy. Henry is the only main character who wouldn’t have something in-game pertaining to him unless this sprite is him.

Moving on, we see him interact with a green sprite. I’d wager this is Clay Burke, for no other reason other than the sprite is presumably color-coded because we know the character, and because Clay is a cop and therefore could easily kick Henry out a bar.

Out a bit from Henry’s house, we see a grave, and around the back of the house there’s a smashed window and an animatronic footprint. In the books, the Twisted animatronics specifically targeted Henry’s family, kidnapped people through aggressive means, and buried themselves during the day. Given that the Twisteds are just AU Nightmare animatronics, it’s likely one of William’s robots was trying to kidnap another one of Henry’s kids.

However, the kid being targeted doesn’t seem to be Sammy or Charlie. Henry’s wife is still present and this is a different house than the one in FNAF 4, suggesting this is early on in the timeline, as Henry got a divorce and moved shortly after the kidnapping. The kid that was targeted here was old enough to lock himself in his room and make a run for it, suggesting it wasn’t one of the two babies but rather the Brother from 4, who’s certainly enough of an Angsty Teen to lock himself in his room several times.

As we can see by the footprints and Henry’s blase attitude, it looks like the Brother escaped from the animatronic… this time. It’s likely William kept trying to kidnap him until he succeeded, locking him into his house once he was successfully captured after the Bite. The dialogue from the FNAF 4 trailer might actually apply to William; he brought home the Brother, he think he sees a ghost haunting him which is why he’s observing him in the first place, and he treats this whole thing like a sick game.

So with the FNAF 4 house out of the way, there’s only a few other pieces of evidence. The logbook shows Michael having drawn N. Fredbear… but given that the Nightmare animatronics were still in his house, it’s likely he would have seen then at some point during the night.

The logbook also indicates that Michael is Mike Schmidt from FNAF 1, with his pseudonym being a combo of his own first name and “Eggs Benedict”. FNAF 4 plays like FNAF 1 does, and you can hear one of Phone Guy’s calls in the background, meaning the Brother must have worked in the FNAF 1 location and heard Phone Guy’s messages. And while Michael does fit these requirements… there is one other character who fits them even better.
