HOLY SHIT I FOUND YOU!! I SAW YOUR FNAF ART LIKE A YEAR AGO ON PINTREST AND I WAS LIKE DAMN THATS PRETTY FUCKING AWSOME BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I COULDN'T FIND THE ARTIST BUT I JUST DID, ITS YOU!!

I have no idea which art of mine you found from pinterest but based on what you're implying I lowkey think it's this screenshot redraw I made for the FNAF movie lmao (which I hope I'm right)

Unfortunately you won't get much FNAF art from me nowadays anon, ever since Ruin disappointed me immensely I've just lost most of the hope I've been clinging onto for the franchise, now I'm just here... reminiscing, watching from the sidelines, and making a once-in-a-blue-moon art for it if I'm feeling extra

Sometimes I get random thoughts about oneshots I should write, and because I want to study William fckin Afton under a microscope, it’s usually about him. I know it’s freddy fazbear like WHATEVERR LOL, it’s fun to explore the crime side of things and dynamics and the potential he has as a character cuz he’s a monsterrrrr

I’m thinking about him being interrogated after Charlie’s murder, or during the whole MCI thing. And I think he would be a scarily amazing actor, like he puts on such a facade. I NEEEED him to lean in, make his voice break, and just play it up. Being like “I lost…I…I lost my son, my little boy- I KNOW what it is like to lose a child. I cannot imagine what sick, sadistic, monster could ever- EVER commit such a…a downright unspeakable act!” AHHHHHHHHH LOL I HATE HIMMMM

FNAF Michael refuses to be gaslit on “THE BITE OF 83”

It's him! It's Freddy Fazbear!

[jojo-schmo]

I made myself a personal playlist with the fnaf songs I like (because wow I’ve missed out on like five years of bangers and need to catch up!!). I thought I would make myself a playlist cover with my precious Helpy bear to inspire even more joy from it!! He stole/borrowed DJ Music Man’s headphones. :3

It's fucking crazy when you watch an Analog/Digital Horror piece so good it retroactively makes others scarier because it just executes upon the ideas so well you better understand what others were going for.

Like yes this is still about fucking Fazbear Toddler Fun because it is definitely the one I've seen with the highest level of detail in replicating a very niche old style of media in late 90s edutainment games. (Not always but by the end it's like never missing). And seeing such a pristine replica - so good that when nothing spooky is going on it actually brings YOU back to YOUR childhood - START DOING THE BIT is fucking ghastly.

Especially the end of the last episode with its beautiful clumsy uses of CG reminded me a lot of shit from the time that leaked into my childhood later. I think namely this showz 3-2-1 Penguins, a really fun kids series made by the VeggieTales team. And then when the video started being spooky it hit me how goofy but absolutely fucking horrific it would be to watch something stupid like that and feel it watching you. Feel it judging you. Feel it asking you to remember. Remember *something*.

Like it now has me looking back on shit like Walten Files which always scared me cause I can't stand (/pos) the way it plays with faces to represent harm done, but now that layer of context, or purpose of image is so much worse. It's not just that you or Sophie are seeing a spooky face, it's that that grotesque image plastered over the innocuous experience is asking you to remember something. To know something terrible and horrific that your mind and this game/media are struggling to even form into a coherent image.

As I've said before, I think this wave of indie horror is playing on the sort of hyperawareness any generation born after the invention of home video or VHS has of their past. The fact that so much of it is so easily traceable either vicariously through recordings of old children's media or literally through family-made (and with YouTube, self-made) archives of ourselves. I think we feel how often media these days more intimately than ever asks us to remember. It's not as literal as displayed in this horror, but it's an implicit message that reaches us at various volumes and with different tones.

The analog/digital horror/creepy pasta trope - with its tendency to conflate the personal and the commercial (especially with the FNAF-like "game I just found was made by the brand extension of my family's old business") - is the fear of that ask becoming louder and clearer and more sinister. Its nostalgia becoming an accusation, of accidentally treading upon demons from your past hiding in the cracks of what most made you feel safe at the time.

Or in the case of Fazbear Toddler Fun, a demon you left in your past has tried to find solace in something and you with your nostalgic yet cynical prodding have awoken it.
