#What if FNaF was just the story of William and Henry running a pizzeria

[yourassimcomingforit]

Woah guys what’s this *cough cough* @deadly-kalopsia *cough cough*

The End of an Era

“Connection Terminated.” (Steele). That quote starts one of the most iconic speeches and endings in the Five Nights at Freddy´s (FNAF) franchise. It takes place during the 6th installment, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator (FFPS). FFPS is a game created by Scott Cawthon, published in December 2017, and has 3 main parts to the gameplay. The first part is where you run a pizzeria, another part has you “salvage”, aka keep or throw away the animatronics that are found near your pizzeria, and the final part is a classic FNAF game where the animatronics, possessed by spirits of dead children and one William Afton, are trying to kill you as you try to survive, the only difference being that it ends once you complete a set of tasks rather than it ending at 6 am. Depending on how you play the game you can get a different ending. During one of those possible endings, commonly referred to as the Completionist Ending, you get to hear a speech from one of the characters, Henry (voiced by Dave Steele), where he says goodbye to all the animatronics and this era of FNAF in general. The goal of that particular ending, which is presented via Henry's speech, is to end the stories of and say goodbye to the animatronics, to Michael Afton, to William Afton, to Henry's daughter Charlie Emily, and to wrap up this arc in the franchise allowing it to move on.

The Completionist Ending starts with Henry saying goodbye to the animatronics. That goodbye, however, is broken up into 2 different areas that work together to explain and give context about what is happening and properly end their story. The first spot is at the very beginning of his speech,

You don't even realize that you are trapped

Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles

Chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber

Always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach

But, you will never find them, none of you will

This is where your story ends. (Steele)

Henry introduces his plan to free the animatronics and even gives some reasoning for it, which is that they have become mindless creatures who only want to kill so he is going to end their story and free them. This section is overall just a brief introduction to Henry's plan during this ending. However, it´s not until the second time he addresses them that he properly says goodbye and talks further about his plan and what he hopes will happen because of it.

And to you monsters trapped in the corridors

Be still, and give up your spirits

They don't belong to you

For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps, more

Waiting for you after the smoke clears (Steele)

When Henry says goodbye to the animatronics in this section of his speech he is setting them free and ending their story via fire. However, he is also giving the souls trapped in them their happy ending or as it’s referred to in the games their “Happiest Day”, which serves to better wrap up their arc and involvement in the story. The animatronics have been set free and can finally have peace. That is their ending.

In this ending Michael's goal of finding and killing his father, William Afton is finally achieved and in doing so he can finally rest and his story can end. In every FNAF game up to and including FFPS, you play as Micheal Afton during his quest to end his father's reign of terror. That goal is stated in FNAF: Sister location when Michael is monologuing to William, ¨I'm going to come find you...I'm going to come find you.¨ (Heywood). Yet once you get to the games following FFPS like FNAF Security Breach or Help Wanted 1 & 2 you play as different characters like Gregory or Vannesa, showing that Michael's story has truly ended, he is no longer our protagonist or player character, and as Henry says, ¨I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be.¨ (Steele). Michael has done all he needs to and can finally die with everyone else in the fire, he is where he wants to be. Michael Afton´s story is over and he can rest.

The Completionist Ending finally ends William Aftons, the main villain of the FNAF franchise, never-ending reign of terror. William's refusal to die and to keep being the villain is seen in this quote from him, “I always come back” (Heywood). It takes until FFPS, which as a reminder is the 6th installment in the franchise, for there to be an ending to William's story and according to Henry, ¨The darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole. So, don't keep the Devil waiting, old friend.¨ (Steele). Henry damns William to suffer in whatever afterlife there is and it works. In FNAF Ultimate Custom Night, where you play as William Afton reliving the same night over and over, while all the animatronics seen in the franchise come after him in the classic FNAF game style. William Afton´s ending is that he will forever be tormented and never allowed to rest.

Henry’s goodbye to his daughter, Charlie Emily, is used to end her story, but it's also a much more personal goodbye and is used to give context to their relationship and what happened to Charlie in her death.

I'm sorry that on that day

The day you were shut out and left to die

No one was there to lift you up into their arms

The way you lifted others into yours

And then, what became of you

I should have known, you wouldn't be content to disappear

Not my daughter. I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now

It's time to rest, for you, and for those you have carried in your arms

When Henry talks to Charlie he confirms things about her death and what happened to her, like the fact that she died alone, which was theorized about in the fandom. These confirmations help to wrap up any loose ends in her story and properly end it. Not only did Henry confirming these things wrap up her story for the fandom, but his final words helped close out Charlie's story for herself, with him finally being there to save her. Charlie can finally rest and find peace with the rest of the animatronics.

The Completionist Ending and Henry´s speech in general strived to wrap up that era of FNAF and specific characters' stories. When Henry spoke he was not only giving one more speech before they all died in the fire, but he also said goodbye to everyone and gave them their ¨Happiest Day¨ so they could all move on to where they belong. The spirits in the animatronics including Charlie have been set free and they can finally have peace, Michael is finally able to rest having completed his goal, and William will forever be tormented in his death as he deserves. Their stories are finished and FNAF can move on to its next arc. “This ends. For all of us. End communication.” (Steele)

@charade-yes-from-youtube MCI!!! YIPPEE!!!

Gabriel:

-Oldest kid william killed. hes 12 and has a baby sister and a big brother (his brother is grown and is mike schmidt in my fnaf timeline)

-LOVES sports. he played a lot when he was young, but his favorite is basketball

-His family has a lot of issues, so he's a lot more mature than he should be.

-He actually disliked cassidy in life. to him she was too bossy and bratty, but he didnt care bc she was younger than him

-One of the more vengeful, since he thinks a lot about his baby sister and it makes him PISSED. hes close to cassidy and is super protective of his friends. Of course this means he violently hates michael

-extra one but he's very bitter about being in the animatronic. as much as he wants revenge, he also is one of the first to side with cassidy against charlie

Fritz:

-about 9 when he died, he's not as vengeful. He was mostly just scared at first.

-Close with Susie and was present when the bite happened. He wasn't close with Evan (hes younger than Ev) but he felt really bad whenever he saw him around

-He played soccer <33 which is why he was able to run away from william long enough to cause trouble

-Autistic, selectively nonverbal and doesnt talk a lot bc of it. he gets overstimulated by loud noises

-He had no siblings, but he was super duper close with susie. Her death fucked him up a lot and if it weren't for his birthday arty, he would not have gone back to the pizzeria ever. he'd hoped the party would cheer him up

-turned on charlie quicker than expected. he hates being in foxy and hes scared, so he doesnt trust her. he also viewed it as a selfish decision especially when cassidy framed it that way

Jeremy:

-Was very aggressive with william but couldnt do much. he was 9 (turning ten in a few months maybe) when he died

-hes not vengeful tho, not as much as cassidy or gabriel. hes moreso sad.

-sides with gabriel on everything EXCEPT charlie. he trusts charlie and believes she brought them back for a reason. but he went with gabriel because he didnt wanna leave him behind

-his big brother is the bonnie bully (andy my love <3) and their relationship changed a lot post bite. jeremy didnt know what happened until after he died, tho. hes not evans biggest fan bc evan helped cassidy turn the others against charlie and he hated to see her isolated like that

-he thinbks its hilarious that the nightguard has the same name as his. less so when said nightguard gets a chunk taken out of his face

Susie: (@walking-fnaf-encyclopedia u asked too <3)

-8 when she died. was there for the bite but didnt actually see it happen. she just knew a kid died because of the robots and only really knew what happened when she was told post-death

-surprisingly vengeful. this girl can fit a lot o anger in her. shes bitter that her death was based on a stupid theory, and even more bitter that charlie helped prove the theory true.

-despite that, it took a while for her to give up on charlie. in fact the split between the mci and charlie ruined her view of evan and cassidy more than it did charlie. susie, just like jeremy, could tell they were isolating her and she did not like it. she doesnt fully blame them (considering she agrees with them) but she believed there was a better way. they were already here, why not work together?

-her dog possesses the cupcake! she knows this and cherishes the little guy but she also feels so fucking sad her poor dog got dragged into this. he seems pretty chill with it tho LMAO

-actually the most chill w the nightguard. after all, its not him who wronged her lol

Cassidy:

MY FAV MY BELOVED OKAY

-11 when she died. second oldest meow and she fucking FOUGHT LIKE HELL. whatever jeremy did to will was nothing compared to her. she was a cornered rabbit and she showed her claws she fucked him UP. broke his nose cut his face she did everything to get away from him. he had to make up a story about a person attacking him (which ended up being the first lie henry cracked that lead up to him finding out william was the killer so. pop off cass)

-Knew evan before she died. did not gaf abt him. he was just the whiny kid to her. but tbf she didnt know anything about michael. she'd shoo off any bullies she saw hanging around him, though. he noticed but never mentioned it

-violent anger she got from her mother. yeah you can assume what her home life was like. she had a lot of expectations placed on her as the only child. her parents were business people, always rushing and never pausing to let her catch up, so she learned to keep running, fall less, and work harder. of course, the faster you go the harder you'll fall but dont tell her that

-loves dressing herself up, but her mother prefers to do it. cassidy hates hwen other people make decisions for her (which contrasts evans hate for making decisions himself)

-violently hates charlie. they used to be close when alive but post death not only was cassidy pissed that charlie brought the other kids back (in my hc, cassidy came back of her own accord) but also that charlie now wanted to give up on their mission for vengence. she found the "happiest day" to be trivializing their cause and, once the other kids were gone and passed on, promptly destroyed it. Evan similarly refused to move on, and they stayed behind together

-despite this, cassidy did try to convince charlie not to go to the pizza sim location. charlie didnt listen, got trapped in lefty, and caused cassidy to have a severe hatred for henry that lasts on and on and on for a long time until she finally visited him at the lake. but hes just like his daughter, and cassidy listened to him even less than shed listened to charlie

Why Sammy Emily should be the CEO of Fazbear Entertainment and the villain of the new era of FNAF

In the Silver Eyes trilogy, Freddy's co-founder Henry Emily has two children. Charlie and Sammy. At first we thought William killed Sammy, then we later find out that Charlie was the one he killed, Charlie is remade via Charliebots and Sammy just lives with his mother.

The games have never alluded to Sammy's existence. The story was not thought out in FNAF 2, but it's suggested The Puppet was originally meant to be possessed by a boy as the Give Cake minigame says "SAVEHIM" so maybe Sammy was meant to be The Puppet. TSET most likely made Scott change his mind and switched to Charlie.

Now what if the fate of Sammy in the books happens in the games. Imagine this. Your father abandons you. Your sister's death is all he thinks about. He lets his pain and grief consume him and leaves you and your mother behind. Throughout your life you are bitter over what your father did and decides to rebuild what his father destroyed, but better.

Sammy is the heir of Fazbear Entertainment and those who want to rebuild the brand would flock to Sammy.

Sammy being the new villain of the franchise would slap. Think of it.

Imagine the story of a kid who's father forgot about him over the grief of his preferred child, Charlie. With Sammy having to grow up in the shadow of his grieving father, always third in his mind two his two favorite kids. His daughter and his business. Imagine if in the story that Henry had rubbed off on Sammy in the worst way possible. And that all Sammy learned from his father is how to step on other people in the ladder to success, which Sammy deciding to use his anger and neglect to not only just walk the way of his dad, no, but to take the extra step and do it better. With Sammy becoming a very successful businessman, growing industry lead tech companies, while his dad and the company he had started just rotted alone in the dark and that is the catalyst for the new era of FNAF when Sammy found out his father had died in a fire in his own crummy little restaurant, Sammy saw it as an opportunity to strike. Using whatever legal leverage he had as the son of the former of Fazbear Entertainment, along with his exuberant amount of cash and influence to reconstruct the company his dad once owned. But unlike his dad, who always wanted to keep the franchise in a cheap and nostalgic past, Sammy was going to take the company to the future. But how exactly? By doing the opposite of his father and dancing with the trauma the franchise had endured. Sammy knowing that the company was a national pariah at this point, but instead of trying to cover it up as previous owners of the franchise had done, he decided to run full force with it. With Sammy commissioning a series of Indie Horror Games to jump on the growing popularity of the franchise becoming a trendy creepypasta/urban legends fodder. Sowing the seeds of well timed publicity stunts for the franchise and at the perfect moment bringing back the Pizzerias themselves, but with a modern twist. Not letting the nostalgia holding the franchise back like his father did, but instead using it as a springpath forward. With all this bringing us the Pizzaplex and Fazbear Entertainment that we all know today and all while creating new monsters within the Fazbear name to sell a profit.

Creating Glitchtrap to create the new boogeyman of the franchise and unintentionally creating Vanny. But to Sammy, a new killer means a new form of profit for Fazbear and further spitting on the memory of his father. You could even have the theory that Charlie is haunting the Pizzaplex as a means to stop her brother and using Gregory to help stop him. Or why not go all the way? Why not make Sammy unwittingly responsible for everything? Have Sammy being the one who locked Charlie out of Fredbear's on that dark and stormy night and this new story is a battle between a cold hearted soulless businessman and a vengeful sister seeking to bring everything he build down.

That would make for an amazing story and one hell of a direction to take the franchise in the future. Focusing on the unintended legacy and domino effects of the hurt that the characters of the past caused, instead of just pointlessly reviving them to pad out the future.

ok so im going through fnaf lore timeline (mostly made by matpat) but I've come to a contradiction that i need help solving

this ended up being really long so I'm putting it under a cut

so basically according to matpat and also like all the stories put together- after Elizabeth dies and then william notices that baby's eyes have changed from blue to green he's like hm maybe that was what i saw when he had applied as a day guard back when fnaf 2 location opened.

like he went back there to kill more kids and he noticed that the withered animatronics were moving around and seemed to be guided by the puppet and so he was like hm weird

back to baby and everything- he was like oh maybe this is related so he thought hed go back to that location and grab all the endoskeletons (seen in that fnaf 2 cutscene where he lures them all back and takes them apart coming from the hidden door)

he takes the endos back to his workshop down in the sister location and melts the endos down and puts it into funtime freddy's new endoskeleton and yada yada yada it comes to life but not the same as baby bc its like four kids in one mixture smoothie of remnant

then he goes back for more and the ghosts of those kids are still there in the pizzeria and corner him and that's when the springlock failure happens and he gets stuck there for years rotting

fast forward to michael finding sister location and getting scooped and then deciding to go fix everything we know we play as him in fnaf 1 and 2 bc golden freddy says its me (his brother saying hi) and that he was fired for his smell (scooped and dying flesh and all that)

and he goes to fnaf 2 location and does the nightshift BUT he has a run in with the withered animatronics too!! but they were dismantled years ago by William??? how the heck does that work?? and they are still gunning for him bc he's an afton and whatever

but like idk if im missing something in the storyline or some piece of evidence or something but like how are the withered animatronics still in the fnaf 2 location by the time Michael gets there like how are they still together and not dismantled? if William took their endoskeletons?

like did william just not take all of their endoskeletons and only parts of them? like why chica has no arms and bonnie has no face? but then why would William only take those parts right?

or did like someone go back and put them back together? bc henry had to go back after william broke in and then got springlocked and that's when he boarded up the back room with him in it- did henry put the animatronics back together with new endoskeletons?

and if he did that- how and why are the withered animatronics withered like that in fnaf 2 like how did chica lose her arms and bonnie her face?

i mean the point of having the night guards at closed places is to keep like vandals and people from messing with the stuff and stealing so maybe it was just some random people who thought it would be funny to take the arms from chica and the face from bonnie?

i feel like im missing something important bc none of this is adding up...

[an-aura-about-you]

So back on Halloween I watched the FNAF movie, and while I had fun, it did leave something to be desired. So here we go: my award winning rewrite of the FNAF movie to make it actually good and make sense.

Spoilers for the series in general under the cut.

First off, we are embracing the fact that this is an adaptation of a video game series that has a shaky story at best. We are 100% allowed to pick and choose which pieces work. We see some of that in the actual movie what with Vanessa being William Afton's daughter. (At least, unless there's some kinda reveal that happened after I dropped off the series.)

Second, I am totally willing to carve this movie for parts that do work. And one of them that I kept noticing is that the movie is Really Fucking Hesitant to say Mike's full name. Yeah, that was supposed to be foreshadowing that the guy hiring our boy Mike Schmidt recognized his last name on account of he's William Fucking Afton. However, I went into the movie after seeing precisely one trailer and no spoilers besides what I knew about the series already. So I paid attention to how Friggin' NOBODY says Mike's last name until the very end of the movie.

Because the reveal I had been hoping for was that Mike Schmidt was Michael Afton.

And if you build a movie around THAT reveal, it fixes so many problems and removes shit we really don't need. We can remove the little brother character and kill off the little sister instead. It gives Mike a stronger motivation to work at the terrible job that is Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

So here's how we do it: we make the movie primarily a combination of FNAF 1 and Pizzeria Simulator with elements of Sister Location.

Mike Schmidt is a down on his luck guy, depressed and listless and moving from job to job with no real reason to stick around. No family, just a little token he keeps with him, a half-heart BFF bracelet meant for little girls.

But then he sees a listing in the want ads for the job of night security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, due to close by year's end.

Motivated for the first time in a long time, he quits his job on the spot and answers the ad.

The man who placed the ad, we'll call him Henry (and if you know the games and books you know where I'm going with this), turns him down at first when they meet, says it's an old listing and he's no longer taking applicants "but thank you anyway Mr. ..."

And that's when Henry notices the name, why this young man looks so familiar.

"Mike Schmidt?" he asks to confirm.

Mike nods. "It was Mom's maiden name." It was the first name he could think of when the name Afton was ruined for him. We get this bit at the end of the movie for The Once More With Clarity Reveal.

Henry runs his hand over his beard, good lord what a mess. This isn't what he intended with his ad at all. But if there's anyone living he owes his help to, it's Michael.

So Mike starts working night shift at Freddy's, and UNLIKE the actual movie the animatronics actually TRY to attack him the entire time. This will be the actual bulk of the movie's action, with maybe a few unlucky trespassers so we can get a proper kill count. We get the classic roster from the first game with two big exceptions, the first being the Puppet.

Because while Mike tries finding clues about his missing younger sister in the pizzeria, one night he slips up and the Puppet is set to attack him, oh no! Mike throws his hands up to protect his face.

And that's when the Puppet sees the BFF bracelet. And stops. Because he has the matching bracelet. And Mike isn't sure why at first until the Puppet leads a wary Mike to a storage room he hadn't checked yet, full of cleaning supplies and endoskeletons and our other animatronic reveal: Circus Baby.

And the Puppet gets Baby to tell her story of the day she abducted and killed Mike's sister. She points to the BFF bracelet and says, "You have my bracelet."

And Mike is brought to tears by all that is revealed: his sister's death, how the souls of his father's victims are trapped possessing the animatronics, and the terrible realization that they had been attacking him because he looks like their killer, his father.

But then we get our big climax! William Afton returns to his pizzeria, which was Henry's original plan all along. Afton dons his Spring Bonnie suit so the animatronics don't recognize him. Henry goes to the pizzeria as well, his goal of trapping his old business partner Afton in sight but concerned for Michael. With everyone trapped inside, Henry calls Michael on the landline and tells him what's going on, tells him to try to get out because he's setting the place on fire and ending this once and for all. And Mike goes, "No, I'll see this through to the end. Tell me where to go to get the gas going, you light it up."

And now Mike has to evade his father long enough to burn it all down, and there's a big father son confrontation where Michael just reads his father for the filth he is, buying time for Henry to finish this.

And when he does, Henry gives his speech from the end of Pizzeria Simulator over the restaurant pa system. When he speaks to the spirit of his daughter, we cut to the Puppet, turning his head up so the girl possessing him can hear her father. Quick little flashback of the girls playing together, swinging their joined hands together with their matching BFF bracelets clinking.

And though Afton tries to retreat, Mike throws him in the restaurant's safe room, holding the door in grim victory as the flames lick at him.

A bittersweet ending, but a satisfying one.

And then, after the credits, we have a flashforward. The crew putting together the horror attraction Fazbear Frights has found the safe room in the charred remains of the restaurant, and they have salvaged the Spring Bonnie inside. Sequel hook!!

So yeah, that's my pitch for the FNAF movie I think we should have gotten. Thoughts?

[evelyn-onfire]

The Other Afton Family AU- an AU in which William Afton has a brother and they are normal (except they really aren’t)

Samantha Afton (aka Sam): After witnessing her uncle’s family collapse in on itself and the disappearance of Henry, she vowed to find out the truth about what really happened to her cousins and put an end to the cursed family name. Her grief runs deep and she finds comfort in protecting her little sister. She teamed up with Mike, despite the fact she’s lowkey terrified of him too (he is a walking corpse after all)

Thomas Afton (aka Tom): Tom is Sam’s twin brother, and he was always the shy kid between the two of them, and was interested in robotics. Despite the fact he promised to stick by Sam’s side no matter what, he ended up following in William’s footsteps, becoming a willing pawn in his game. Though, he could never truly kill anyone, William calling him a coward because of it. Sam still has hope for her brother.

Katherine Afton (aka Kat): Kat was a baby when the Afton family fell, so she never met her cousins (except Mike). Sam is very close with her and wants to protect her no matter what. Kat is fascinated by the animatronics and likes to go through Henry’s old things (Donovan got his hands on them after Henry disappeared). She’s the innocent of the story, and tends to get into trouble due to being curious about her family’s history, no matter how many times Sam and Donavan tell her not to worry about it.

I’m still working on a timeline of events and how it’d fit into the FNaF timeline, I can imagine their story would probably be before Pizzeria Simulator (maybe even in place of it) and some things and ages would be altered to fit into the story. Sam and Tom’s dream when they were little was to make their own pizzeria together just like Uncle Will and Uncle Henry (they called Henry their uncle too). My original story for them was to have them open a pizzeria, but I don’t know if they actually would after everything that happened. Maybe Sam would as a trap (again going back to this story replacing FNaF 6)

ELLA DOWNING, FNaF OC

Ella is from a separate AU than my main one, Odd Ones Out, and follows the original story a little more closely. It prioritizes the events of FNaF 3, FNaF SL, FFPS and FNaF SB, with the other 3 past set games being elaborated on as historical events.

Ella Downing and her best bud Dale (AKA the Phone Dude) are responsible for the building of Fazbear Frights, and kickstarting the events of the AU. The AU takes place in 4 "Volumes". While it is still under construction, I can at least provide you with some cliffnotes! Please be warned, these cliffnotes are rather incoherent and from a late night infodump rant lol.

Volume 1 is FNaF 3. Pretty Standard stuff, but with Ella and Phone Dude (Dale) kickstarting the events of the next few games. The 3 games set in the past are elaborated on in conversations and psychopathic research. Springtrap quickly regains the ability to speak and has a personality like in AR, where he is actively antagonistic once he realized there is another person, and that she keeps coming back. The Phantoms are ambiguous and omnipresent. There is evidence to support the fact that they might be real, but also might not. It's how you feel about it that matters. Michael appears at the end of this volume to save Ella in the last second, but fails to secure his father's rotting corpse. He, Ella and Dale will team up later.

Gif by @bunnyangelart!!!

Volume 2 is FNaF SL. It's told from Michael's perspective as he recounts what happened to him before he met Ella. Michael receives word that his father has been missing for an extended period of time, and as William's next of kin, is given all his stuff to rifle through. Michael slowly learns about everything that's happened, including information about his sister, and how she is possessing Circus Baby. The Funtime Animatronics are FAR more alive in this than from the games, and the Rental Facility feels more lived in. The encounters with the Funtimes are far more harrowing, with them being way more aggressive and aware of Michael's presence. The same series of events as the games plays out, but with more focus on Michael, and how alive the robots really are. Really pulling on the string of "at first they didn't recognize me but then they thought I was YOU". Michael has no idea his Father is "still alive", he just wants to find out what happened to him, and ends up at Fazbear Frights after being tipped off by someone anonymous. It ends with Michael saving Ella and bringing us back around to the end of the last Volume.

Art by OverlordGirgy!!!

Volume 3 is FFPS. Michael, Ella and Dale all live together in Dale and Ella's Apartment (platonic friendship, they are just besties and split rent). It's been about a month after Fazbear's Frights fire, and Dale got an insurance payout after a technicality held him not a fault for the damage. They get a call one day from someone who urges them to take up a job at a new Fazbear's location. They all reluctantly agree, and when they get there everything seems too normal. Until Dale finds a backroom lol. He enters the place, and due to having motion detection from one of its residents, ends up waking up Molten Freddy, who almost kills him for it. They are finally queued in to the situation by Henry, who was the one who told Michael about Frights and Dale about the secret room with Springtrap, and get to work luring the 3 other animatronics and pretending they are running the Pizzeria in order to further trick the rogue bots into believing it. While all the other bots are actively hostile, Ella and Helpy run into Lefty, who only gets mad at them for making too much noise, but doesn't hurt them. The Volume ends with Henry trapping everyone inside and setting it on fire. He has a way out for the three others, but Michael stays behind to confront his father, and ensure he doesn't' escape a second time. He bestows upon Ella his last true possession: Evan's stuffed Fredbear, still in pristine condition and well cared for. They leave him behind and watch Fazbear's burn once more, before the ground collapses into a sinkhole.

Art by HiroSupah!!!

Volume 4, last but not least, is Security Breach. It's been a few years…. Ella and Dale are still sharing the old ass apartment, being scroungers, and them not quite over losing Michael, who managed to leave a deep impression on them in his short time. They turn on the T.V, hearing for the a thousandth time that Fazbear Entertainment has built a MAZZIVE FUCKING COMPLEX. After learning of several disappearances coinciding with the Pizzaplex's existence, both of them know this can only spell trouble, and suit up to do some midnight delving. Dale stays outside in his fancy "secret spy van" and Ella enters the Pizzaplex as it closes. She almost gets fucking disembowled by Monty after running right into him, getting clawed and shredding the side of her shirt, and it quickly dawns on her that something is horribly wrong with the animatronics. She sees Gregory and Freddy at the main stage, and causes a distraction to help them get away. She heads to Parts and Service, and enters the tunnels, eventually intercepting Gregory just as he's about to be overwhelmed by Endo's. They escape via Ella carrying Gregory, with him looking over her shoulder and keeping the Endo's in sight. They fix up Freddy, and take a second to rest. Gregory takes a nap, and Ella gives him the Fredbear plush to help him sleep. Ella digs through the lost and found after bandaging herself and finds her signature Monty shirt, in an ironic twist, and decides tp change out of her torn up shirt into this one. While Gregory sleeps, Ella's persistence to try and find alternatives to hurting Freddy's friends (but ultimately failing) leads Freddy to concede, believing that they can always be fixed, but Ella and Gregory can't if they get to injured. One by one, they get the parts from his friends and upgrade him, all while Ella and Gregory actively avoid Vanny, whose quips at Ella are strangely specific… They find their way down to the ruins of FFPS location, to Ella's intense discomfort, and run into The Blob. Before it can get any more antagonistic, Ella, Freddy and Gregory fall down to where Burntrap is, and after setting the place on fire, barely escape with their lives and watch as Afton is dragged back into the fire by The Blob. The Volume finally ends with Dale, Ella, Gregory and Freddy all relocating to a small cabin near town, where they attempt to get some semblance of a normal life (until Ruin, that is)

Ella talks a little more in this volume, constantly reassuring Gregory, as well as feeling comfortable having quiet conversations with Freddy, who always has everyone's best interests at heart. Gregory is not nearly as antagonistic in this, becoming more childlike and less jaded when Ella arrives, having two adult figures to help him. It is my personal headcanon that Michael has possessed Freddy, which is why he isn't after Gregory in the game, so there are a few repeat lines Freddy says that clearly echo him, and explain why Ella feels so comfortable talking to him, because she essentially already knows him to a degree. The Blob is the next stage of Molten Freddy, and it can talk, with his voice most prominent, but echoed by what feels like dozens of other voices. It recognizes Ella, which is why it actively pursues them even when they are dealing with Afton. They bring Freddy's old parts with them and replace them when they settle back down, and keep the upgrades in a cabinet in case they need them again.

FNaF AU Concept

FNaF AU where William never kills the children, the animatronics are never possessed, Henry never leaves the company, no one dies, and it’s just two buds and their idiot employees running a pizzeria

[modgirlyreposts-revamped]

Hfhhfhdhhfhf thank you- my fnaf AU is kinda a big comfort to me so ty for letting me talk about it (though i didn't say that before so you wouldn't feel pressured)

So quickest rundown I can give, TW for canon typical content as well as discussion of abuse and trauma

The story starts around nineteen seventy something when William and Henry start Fredbear's Family Diner. It's just a nice restaurant- think Chuck E Cheese's Pizza Time Theater from the late 70s- until William up and fucking murders Charlie out of literally nowhere because he's obsessed and jealous of Henry and wants to control Henry's life.

Her death happens in March a month before Elizabeth's, and she was buried in the woods, having bled to death in the alley after being stabbed in the back. (Get it?)

When Charlie's soul possesses The Puppet William's like HOLY SHIT IT'S ALIVE??? I GOTTA REPLICATE THESE RESULTS AND FIGURE IT OUT because he's William. In comes the Funtimes.

When Elizabeth died, William was upset at first, mostly annoyed with Elizabeth for disobeying even though he totally set the situation up by manipulating and lying to her that Baby was for her, but he covered up the event of her disappearance, and stopped caring that she had died when he found out she was possessing Baby.

I'm not gonna bore you with talking about his remnanty shit u know what he was doing

Cassidy, 8 years old and soon to turn 9, had witnessed Elizabeth's death, and in the wake of their loss, he and Michael both fell into awful spirals. Cassidy became a terrified wreck, scared to death of animatronics and of William. Michael became a massive bully with anger issues, taking out his pent up anger on Cassidy by bullying and terrorizing him, leading to the bite.

After the bite, Michael's whole angry teen facade fell apart and he became a broken husk of himself. His obsessive grief spiral and guilt was only worsened by an incident after the diner's temporary closure post-bite, where William brought Michael in and Fredbear attempted to brutally attack Mike.

This confirmed to William that Cassidy was possessing it, and that discovery led to the MCI.

In January of '84, Michael met a classmate named Jeremy Fitzgerald, who he later ended up dating until the bite. Jeremy's younger stepsister Susie Miller had been a short lived friend of Elizabeth's, from Charlie's death to Lizzie's own. Susie was 9 and a half in June when her puppy, Buddy, was run over by William's truck and buried in the backyard of the Miller residence. William straight up stole the dog corpse and put it into Toy Foxy- the next day, Susie was lured away and killed.

Next were 5 and 7 year old Jeremy Young and Gabriel Lowe. Jeremy had recently been adopted by a young couple ecstatic to have a child who practically spoiled him rotten; he was about as happy and innocent as a child can be. Gabriel, from a big family, was more timid and cautious, but unfortunately easily swayed by his surrogate brother Jeremy's optimism. They disappeared in January of 1985.

And finally was Mitzi Oliveira- Fritz, technically, but she used either. Mitzi had been a friend of Cassidy, though she never got along with Elizabeth. Mitzi was one of Charlie's many friends. Mitzi had been there to chill with Susie while she waited for Elizabeth to come back and play with her and her new puppy. Mitzi had battled Gabriel in many a video game match, chased little Jeremy around the pizzeria in sugar high induced spontaneous tag games she never held back from winning even though she was twice his age. And Mitzi was now seeing her dear friends' faces on missing posters all over town. Distressed and unsure of what to make of it, Wiliam lured her away promising to reunite her with her friends. Her mangled corpse was forced into the Foxy animatronic.

Aside from Cassidy, who was already alive and in full control, Charlie was the one to "give life" to the others and wake them up. While Jeremy is just scared and confused, only following the others because he wants to go home, the rest are all vengeful and angry.

Though, Susie's anger quells quite a bit in 1987 when she's reunited with her beloved puppy Buddy in the form of The Mangle.

Speaking of Buddy, he was never fully trained. He always had a bit of a biting problem.

Especially with Jeremy (though Jeremy didn't mind much.)

Hmm.

No I'm kidding it was Toy Chica who bit Jeremy.

Also around that time, the longest serving employee of Fazbear Entertainment, Scott Leskowitz (AKA Phone Guy), as well as the only one aside from William who knew about the missing children, was killed by Golden Freddy and inhabited the form of Shadow Bonnie. Fun fact, Scott had schizophrenia which made it very easy for William to gaslight Scott into keeping his mouth shut about what he knew. Now as Shadow Bonnie, Scott took on the alias of RWQFSFASXC or RWQ, and basically became a father/older brother figure to Cassidy mainly, but he cared about all of them. This helped the children to eventually let go of their anger. Cassidy especially needed that as it allowed him to forgive Michael to an extent.

Ok speeding up basically now here's 1990 after another 3 years of just, idk, crashing on his friend Bee's couch or smn /j Michael finds Circus Baby's rental opening and gets a job there. Using his grief from the loss of his sister Baby through Ennard manipulates and breaks down Michael so he won't resist the scooper and they can kill him and wear his flesh to escape.

Unsure of what to do, Michael returns to the main pizzeria to try and look for clues on how he can even start finding and stopping William, when he comes across Charlie, in The Puppet. In life, she had seen Mike as a big brother, and while she knows Cassidy's view on him she wholly believes he isn't a bad person and William is the problem, so she begins aiding Michael in his goals. God knows he needs someone- anyone- to be with him. His connection to Charlie puts him in a central place to reach the other dead kids, on a more... spiritual? Interpersonal? Level. Basically instead of therapy he has traumatized children. He's even able to begin to reconcile with Cassidy, and starts to pursue Ennard's whereabouts to get those souls as well.

But the fact remains that these children are suffering, and Michael had to let them go. So he and Charlie plan the destruction of everyone but Michael, with the Fazbear's Fright fire.

Oh yeah, also, um, William is Springtrap. That's a thing.

Anyways, Charlie decides to pull a fast one and get out of the fire and run away. William also manages to do this. Michael's depressed ass almost considers NOT doing this, but he can't rest until William is gone and his loved ones are free. So he continues.

It's here that he meets Caleb, and reunites with Henry. In her sudden isolation Charlie has started to go off the deep end a bit, so she's now contained inside Lefty. Caleb had accidentally aided William, unknowing of his ulterior motive. Michael at this point is at the full conclusion of his development; he accepts Caleb's good intentions despite his past and a relationship develops between them. Caleb is angry and hurt when he learns Michael is planning to sacrifice himself, but Michael insists it's how it has to be, and in the end, he leaves for work the day of the fire without telling Caleb, leaving him with a voice recording (taking after Henry) and Helpy, so Caleb will always have a memoir of Michael with him.

Caleb actually becomes a designer for Fazbear Entertainment because he associates it with Michael, and designs Glamrock Helpy as a little helper mascot. Cute tidbit.

Uhhhh I can explain SB later but this is insanely long already lol

MICHAEL AND THE MECHANIC <3<3<3<3<3<3

And I love the small backstories on the missing children, my babies 😭

And love how at the end even though Michael canonically could very well be dead, and he later possesses Glamrock Freddy in your AU, I was still just like “NOOOOOO-“ when I read about him sacrificing himself and leaving Helpy for Caleb to remember him

Redesigned FNAF Lore to Match the Redesigns?

These FNAF redesigns I’m doing are making me think of different ways certain points of the overall redesign story could go. I put so many thoughts into this, I’m putting this under a “Keep Reading”. Enjoy?

*FNAF 1 and 2 don’t actually include Mike, because he’s too young/in college. I say this because FNAF 1 is in 1993-ish and FNAF 2 is 1987. The Bite of ‘87 gets closure due to a newspaper article hidden in the FNAF 2 end page. Turns out it was a malfunctioning animatronic that bit someone’s head. That’s it, really. The crazier stuff, of course, would be later on. This would be just a pre-show.

*FNAF 3 Springtrap can kind of talk, but it’s very very hoarse. You’d have to pull that figuring out what the FNAF 2 minigames were trying to spell maneuver. And, even then, you’d have to discern what his intent is. Is it a trick or a cry for help?

*Maybe Spring’s weak jumpscare would be on purpose. (1) Literally just figured out how to move again, so gentler movements tests would have to be run. (2) If this is Michael, then Spring might not want to hurt his son… as much.

*Have FNAF 3 hint towards Sister Location by having an ad for it in the newspaper that details the Fazbear Fright fire. Said ad would be highlighted by a drawn circle, implying that’s where Michael is going next. That way, there’d be no huge confusion over the over-arching timeline. Or as much confusion.

*FNAF 4 is just the first set of flashbacks for post-fire Springtrap interlaced with memories Evan has. Maybe a Golden-Freddy like Easter egg with Spring or a bonus 8-bit cutscene with a ghostly Evan greeting his sleeping father for seemingly the last time in the SL alleyway. And then, as it’s about to return to the title screen, a little ghostly girl with a bow in her hair arrives. Only her outline is visible, however, to show that she might not really be there.

*Oh, and the text for the Fredbear Plush is colored purple at certain times. Just an extra thing.

*In SL, we hear some sort of muttering in-between the Elizabeth flashback lines. It grows stronger and stronger until you hear a plaintive yell during Liz’s death. Everything falls silent, switch to gameplay.

*SL plays out, confirms the FNAF 4 placement, but with Ennard splitting between Molten Freddy and Scrap Baby as soon as Mike spews them out. The website Easter egg would‘ve explained why, now buried in the game’s code.

*Pizzeria Sim is the big one, so buckle up. You play as Mike, yes. You salvage the others and help Henry, yes. Scraptrap talks in coherent sentences, big yes. But where it gets interesting is when you do manage to collect them all and head towards the True Ending.

*Scraptrap, for whatever reason, vanishes after a day or so of him being scrapped. As if he’s literally left the building. But you can see that his signal’s still there. Of course, you’re both relieved and confused. What is going on?

*Meanwhile, in the mini-games, Midnight Motorist takes a different angle. You play as Purple Guy, yes. It’s literally confirmed in the sprite color now. But, there’s a catch. You drive home to a big empty house. You enter inside and try to get ready for bed… But something is hounding you. Something that’s not the ghost kids. Something worse.

*”What have you done now?” it asks. “Being a coward like usual?”

*Purple Guy gets unnerved. You try to help him move, but he’s not budging. He’s stuck. Trembling. The background is dark, but you can tell it’s glitching.

*”What? Too scared to answer your own father? SPEAK TO ME!”

*Purple Guy says something, but it’s too small to read. Suddenly, from some reflective surface, a towering shadow pounces on him. Ready to strike.

*Yes, this is Bill, the man hinted at in the Retro CDs in Security Breach. This time, he’s a hallucination William gets when his mind wanders too far back. Even in his days as a killer, Will still dreaded that man.

*Anyway, you play the mini-games to kill time and get the true/lore keeper ending regardless. Scrap Baby does her spiel, you wait for the inevitable, then the fire starts. But, as Henry’s message goes on, you hear a second voice giving its final goodbyes as well. Scraptrap.

*Turns out he was faking his return to being a villain due to all the painful self-reflecting he’s been doing. Or, well, he might‘ve chickened out thanks to Midnight Motorist. He’s not saying exactly why he’s helping. But at least he is, much to Liz’s shock.

*Thankfully, both men say goodbye to their daughters. Henry, a respectful eulogy. Scraptrap, a big ol’ “I’m sorry, but it has to be done”.

*Everything burns, you get your certificate, and go to the hill where the graves are. But, if you stay long enough, the graves will glow like in the FNAF 3 bad ending. And, of course, the covered grave will glow the brightest.

*Then the announcement for UCN arrives.

*Oh, no, you realize. We’re not done.

*Cassidy/Golden Freddy, not being in FNAF 6 or FNAF 3 through SL, hasn’t learned what happened with William. So, feeling vengeful, she drags him to some twisted dreamscape that serves as his “purgatory”. She’s keeping his soul alive and the others captive.

*You play the game, not realizing anything else is wrong until you beat 50/20. Then you get a little something. Purple Guy slumped on the office desk you just played in. He’s breathing hard, obviously tired. Then, sparks of a more neon purple and black spew out of him. To his own confusion, a goopy mess of a rabbit appears and waves back. Then, it vanishes. Fade to title screen.

*A few years later, Help Wanted comes out. Everything plays out as intended, you lock up Glitchtrap, shake your head at the idea of William getting a bad rap in-verse still… Then the DLC arrives.

*It’s normal at first. An Easter Egg here, a clown mini-game that might hint at what’s currently going on in UCN there… And then Vanny’s mask becomes a thing. You head over to the prize corner, equip the plushie and the mask, then the chaos starts.

*You can hear Glitchtrap properly now. He’s talking with Vanny about their vague plan, which wouldn’t be a bigger deal if it weren’t for the fact that he mentions another “him”.

*”You’d make him so proud”, “you have to get him out just like you did with me”, etc.

*Yes, Glitchtrap is split from William. This is confirmed in Princess Quest, when we see the goopy form again.

*Might need to do another post on SB, ‘cause oh b o y do I have ideas now.

*Also, yes, this is going by Will-Grief being a thing. Have fun with that?

[official-michael-afton]

Made a tier list of FNaF media!!! Not counting the activity book or the security survival log because those don’t really add anything, they’re just neat activities or summaries of game info

I explained the choices under the cut, equal parts personal bias and objective opinion, so if you think differently then hey, good on ya!

Going down to up XD

F

The Silver Eyes Graphic Novel: Do I even need to explain this one? Rushed art with countless mistakes, horrid coloring, samey designs, the important scenes come off as bland and even goofy instead of impactful. It’s clear Pinky wasn’t used to drawing humans, the colorist had no idea what they were doing, and no one on the team made a graphic novel before. It’s laughable how bad this was XD

E

The Fourth Closet: Does anyone really know what happened at the end? I... really don’t like what they did with Charlie in this one. I don’t like how William was able to get out of his Springtrap- it was SUPPOSED to trap him, and yet he just... is out of it... I think the whole thing with Baby being like this hot clown girl instead of what she is in Sister Location is very... ... it exists... Tbh I respect the bold direction it took, but I honestly felt it was too much of a stretch and just didn’t work.

D

FNaF AR, Special Delivery: Not bad! The character models and voice acting is where the game shines most. Other than that, there isn’t really much substantial to the game other than some lore with Vanny/Ness and Luis. The gameplay can get frustrating sometimes(I cant collect remnant, read my mail, or even work on my own animatronics without DING DONG SOMEONES HERE every 5 seconds), and all you do is spin in a circle until you get glitchy, look away if they get glitchy, or zap them when they run at you. Some people probably love this game and good on them for that, but I find myself not touching it for weeks at a time.

Freddy In Space 2: GREAT game for charity, great art, great music! ... That’s all it has going for it, though. It was clear that this was a quickly made game designed to be beaten in one sitting, and it did exactly what it needed to do! Other than being amazing how it was for charity, the game doesn’t have that much going for it(except introducing Lolzhax aka BEST ROBO), so overall not bad but also did almost nothing outside of being for the Charity Livestream XD

Fazbear Frights, Into The Pit: Again, not bad! A nice collection of short stories, almost like goofy campfire horror you’d tell to kids... like goosebumps! I felt each story was REALLY lacking in some areas, but I liked the general idea they were going for. That being said, they’re moreso neat scary stories with the name FNaF attached than anything else(except maybe the first of the three). It hints that they have an overarching plot that will be covered in future books, but as of right now, I feel no one’s missing out by not reading them.

C

FNaF 3: A satisfying end to the original trilogy story! Purple Guy gets justice, everything gets tied together with a neat bow, and the first arc in the series comes to an end. Also Springtrap, aka my favorite. This game is riddled with neat 8-bit minigames and bits of lore, but the gameplay itself is where I find it not as good as the S A and B tiers. The new setup with the system reboots are def really interesting, but other than that, each night is just... the same thing but harder. Most other games introduce different characters on different difficulties per night, but since Springtrap is the only deadly one, it’s just... him more aggressive each night and systems failing more often. Makes the gameplay pretty repetitive and frustrating after Night 3 or so.

FNaF 4: The beginning of what I like to call the Afton saga(4, SL, FFPS, UCN)! This is when the lore began to get REALLY good... and also really confusing. Props for it taking such a bold direction by taking place in a child’s bedroom instead of in an office with cameras, its a neat change of pace! That being said, the gameplay can get frustrating and there’s a high learning curve for needing to listen to each sound the anmatronics make. Also lore wise... there really isn’t much! Just mainly focuses on what happened to this poor kid. Also the box still being a loose end... yeah.

The Twisted Ones: I enjoyed this one! It had a very interesting direction that kinda kept me guessing on what was going on, and this is when Scott really started nailing in the foreshadowing for the reveal in TFC. The Twisted animatronics are SO cool, and the introduction of those little alteration chips provided new context to games like 4 and SL! That being said, I don’t remember it being... that memorable? I also didn’t like how Charlie’s and John’s relationship was... so awkward... It was neat, but honestly nothing to really go crazy over, in my opinion.

B

The Silver Eyes: Honestly, I adored this book when I read it back in 2016, before Sister Location happened. At the time I wasn’t trying to connect it to any lore, so it was really great just to see a sort of retelling of the FNaF story. A lot of people complained about how long it was... I might agree if I reread it but tbh it never bothered me before. It was delightfully creepy, yet had a simple plot and wasn’t NEARLY as out there as TTO and TFC. Especially TFC. I felt this book didnt need 2 sequels and would’ve been just fine on its own, but whatcha gonna do. Carlton is forever my fav, and it’s the first time we really learn about Henry AND it was the first time we got a name for our Purple Guy: William Afton!

Sister Location: I like this one for just how bold of a game it was. I’m also including SL’s Custom Night wrapped into this package. Jam packed with lore, our first (main) game with VOICE ACTING, and honestly the humor has no right being as good as it is. I love how this not only expanded on the crying child from 4′s story, but also gives us so much Elizabeth and Michael content. The gameplay has a lot of unbalanced features and feels a little too over the place at times, but I appreciate where it was going with it!

FNaF World: ... This one is pure personal bias. A lot of people don’t like it. I adore it. Honestly I love the cute overworld, I love beating up enemies as my favorite animatronics, I love the horror, nihilism, and lore shoved into this game alongside SO MUCH humor. Update 2 was nothing short of an absolute delight and... wait, no!!! FNaF World had our first voice acting!!! So many endings and nods to other games Scott’s made, a cool scene with Desk Man/Henry and Baby, just... muah. Good content. Also Scott 57 <3

A

Ultimate Custom Night: Name a better way to end the Afton Saga, I’ll wait. It’s so obvious how much time, thought, and care went into this one. I love how the game rewards you with funny cutscenes the higher scores you get, and I just! So much voice acting! I love how each preset- no, each character has their own moves so every time you do a certain mode, you need to learn to manage them all and get a good strategy. I like how it’s way more strategy and skill than the RNG that many previous games had. Also, Scott!!! You managed to put this into the LORE by making it William’s hell, MUAH, couldnt have done it better!!!

FNaF 2: This one might have bias for being the peak of the fandom, but it was one of the greatest times to be in that fandom. Freaking out over the trailers, theories galore, prequel vs sequel, and just... so good. 1 didn’t have much plot, 2 DID. 2 had more mechanics and strategy to it than 1, and gave us over twice as many characters! We finally got a “face” to our killer, Mr. Purple Man, and how could I ever complain about more Phone Guy~? This one also introduced the 8-bit minigames, which became a HUGE staple for the series! Perfect expansion of the first!

Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator: The PERFECT blend of old and new gameplay. The salvage scenes are intense, the nights had a great balancing mechanic of juggling doing tasks while also avoiding animatronics, multiple endings, and a neat tycoon segment to give the player a breather... but with LORE!!! Midnight Motorist is easily one of the best tracks in the series. Also has a GREAT canonical ending, when(with paired with UCN), ties the plots of 1-6 SO nicely with a neat bow. 

S

FNaF 1: Okay. From a personal and gameplay standpoint, I was going to put this much lower. Like B or C. That being said... this has to go in S. Yes, it has the least lore and arguably the worst gameplay(too much RNG for 4/20 mode), but this was the game. I can’t even exaggerate when I say just how much FNaF changed not only the gaming community, but especially the horror and indie communities. So many names got big from this: Markiplier, Dawko, Game Theory, The Living Tombstone, DA Games, SCOTT HIMSELF, just to name a few!!! And to think, this was originally going to be Scott’s last game! FNaF changed gaming HISTORY, and I think that alone makes this title deserving of S.

FNaF VR, Help Wanted: Okay, personal bias time, but I truly think VR deserves this S. Seeing Glitchtrap for the first time incited a panic in me that I hadn’t felt since FNaF 1 and 2. You get FNaF 1-4 in one, all in VR, WONDERFUL character models that you can WATCH MOVE!!! SO many minigames and fun challenges to play, so many neat knickknacks to collect, the Halloween update is FANTASTIC. The introduction of some great characters, such as: Glitchtrap, Vanny, Tape Girl, Dreadbear, Grim Foxy, etc!!! There’s also just- something so nice about being able to see every office and the pizzeria in 3D spaces where you can look around! Just from a gameplay and environment standpoint, this was an AMAZING addition and deserves the S.

... Thanks for listening to me ramble XD If you disagree... then good for you! I won’t fight anyone on this, I’m aware that this is a lot of personal bias. But if you made it this far... thanks for hearing me ramble!!!!

[sirvalrigard]

genuinely cannot figure it out. cann you please tell me what the fnaf series is about

OK OK so like we’re extremely off our shits rn but lets try to make this coherent

edit: this actually turned into a fucking wall of infodump bullshit so adding a cut lol

1970s. a gay furry dad named henry emily decides to make a furry restaurant cause he’s passionate abt animatronics and making kids happy. he opens the restaurant with a man named william afton as his business partner. henry makes animatronics and william handles idk being fucking creepy and handling money is my best guess. the restaurant is called Fredbear’s Family Diner, featuring Fredbear and Spring Bonnie (after a year or two it becomes popular enough for henry to have money to build bonnie, freddy, chica, and foxy too!) 

ok so shits fine and normal until william billiam is like ‘hmm im gonna be a child predator now’

on a rainy night one of henry’s children, Charlie Emily, is locked outside the pizzeria somehow, where william finds and kills them. the security marionette that henry built to protect his kids drags itself outside to their body, and thus is possessed by their spirit

obviously henry is fucked up but no one knew who the killer was, so henry was able to reopen another location, this time under the new name of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, with the now familiar friends Bonnie, Freddy, Foxy, and Chica to join the original two! multiple locations are eventually opened, and things are going just fucking fine until WILLY billy does his bullshit again!!

this time he lures them into the back by wearing a Spring Bonnie suit, and kills four children and stuffs their bodies into Bonnie, FReddy, Foxy, and Chica, where Marionette (charlie) finds them and binds their souls to the animatronics

but even though willish addon was employed at the very location he killed kids at, AND he was even convicted as the killer, since police couldnt find the bodies (and are useless) he didnt go to jail which is honestly so accurate its the scariest part of the franchise

so like henry at this point i imagine is like “fuck this” and sells the restaurant line to—you know what? honestly? i would love to know who runs Fazbear Entertainment. with the way help wanted was going i rlly hope we get an expansion on that with them as the villians (destroy capitalism) ANYWAY–

“Fazbear Entertainment” becomes the parent company of this mess now and theyre like :)……oh lets hire that william guy again hes fine

and at this point wwillus is making his OWN fucking pizzeria and his OWN animatronics and is actively kidnapping, torturing, and killing children to steal life essence from their souls! during the process of testing this, he gets his own ‘daughter’ Elizabeth Afton killed!! yeah im not fucking making this up!! (ppl in the fandom really defend this guy lol)

1983. so as Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzas are expanding,  Willard Afturd somehow? got himself some children. like to raise. like as a “““father”““. personally i do like 2 think a mother was involved but honestly he totally coulda just fucking kidnapped some random children to raise as his own and im starting to think thats more plausible  actually BUT ITS NOT GAME THEORY TIIME

one of these kids he is personally torturing! his own “son”! incredible! long story short this traumatized child ( unofficially named CC Afton ) is forced into the mouth of Fredbear by his brother Michael Afton and his friends, aaaand he dies ( and is guided by Charlie to possess Fredbear )

even after years of rumors about dead kids being hidden in animatronics, its this accident is the last straw for Fazbear’s Pizza and they are finally shut down. then WILL rubs his nasty hands together and tries to open his OWN pizzeria with his original OCs do not Steal™, Funtime Freddy, Bon Bon, Ballora, Circus Baby ( possessed by Elizabeth) , and Funtime Foxy and theyre all. probably possessedtoo cause theyre used 4 his kid torture fetish

uh ok so Aphton is like hey michael go clean up my child abuse for me anyway brb so his son Mwanders into his father’s Pizzeria to find his sister elizabeth . long story short…………he finds her and she does the “we’re brothers but closer” spongebob meme but also with her friends

ANd they leave! hooray! from then on the story is about Michael, whos zombified now after being used as a husk to hide an amalgamation of 5 animatronics fucking trying to find his shitty fuckass dad, and to help the anguished and vengeful spirits inside

but the first location to reopen after having been shut down, Wilson AAAAA is employed AND KILLS SOME MORE KIDS who would have guessed omg amazing..stunning.. and michael is employed there JUST a week too late like it happens RIGHT before he’s employed so Wumbo Man gets away again and Fazbear Entertainment gets shut down AGAIN, in 1987

not too many years later Fazbear Entertainment tries to open restaurants yES AGAIN and theyre still using the original animatronics that are still rotting and bloody on the inside . somehow this place stays open for a bit, and michael is employed there still looking for Worst Father Ever, and the children attack him due to rage and confusion, and when they kill another employee, the restaurant is shut down for like the trillionth time

but then for some reason Whenwillhedie Afton is like im gonna go try to dismantle the other haunted animatronics at the shut down pizzerias cause i dont actually even know i have shit for brains and also probably wanted to melt them down for life juice BUT

theyrelike FUCK OFF and the spirits of the children materialize in front of Wellington Well Done and force him into the old crusty spring bonnie suit that he’d murdured in before nd spring is like FUCKy ou and crushesAlton with their animatronic parts aand smush him. trapped now #springbonnieisgoodguy

the spirits go to rest in animatronica, the events of fnafworld happen when: 30 fucing years later in like the 2010s some jackasses thought it would be a good idea to mak e a haunted hoiuse attraction based on fazbear’s pizza and use actual shit from the restaurants and of COURSE this fuck shit up hardcore and disturbs the spirits from the rest that they were in ( until it turned intp the events of FNAF World ) and then they were ripped back into reality when Fazbear’s Fright was built

also! they found WWWacky smacky Acky all rotting away inside Spring Bonnie (now called Springtrap) and were like yeah this is good. definitely not a robot struggling to hold back the influence of a murderer predator and definitely wouldnt haev a problem with being set free

basically michael hears about this thing when it opens and is the first employee there and proceeeds to burn the whole place down as soon as he sees Willmont stuck inside ofs Springtrap

buuuut it doesnt work and Springtrap and other various spirits and haunted robots are still wandering the fuck around and Henry at this point is like Okay I Need To Do Something About This Cause This Is Entirely Out Of Fucking Hand and he reopens a Freddy Fazbear’s location himself, but advertises for a manager who wants to build their own pizzeria

you know who pounces on this like a purple cat? MIKE hes like FUCK yeah egg boys gonna kill his dad and be ann egg MAN today

with the help of Henry’s use  of luring mechanics and michael’s endurance and survival skill they gather Scrap Baby (elizabeth), Lefty (charlie), Scraptrap (springtrap, unfortunately  who has a rotton raisin inside him ), and Molten Freddy (the remaining animatronics that  had jumped into michael’s skin lumped together)

soon as theyre all there ? boom . henry lights the place on fire just like mike had and THEY BOTH JUST SIT THERE AND DIE IN IT TOO LIKE ITS SO METAL and it burns everyone else as well

and all the kids are like

uwu

owo

and drag william afton into HELL!! and they get to torture him for a while together and get the revenge they deserve hell yeah tbh UCN is so iconic

BUT Fazbear Entertainment drinks the capitalism so theyre like…. :((( we’ve been so bullied we totally didnt haev an employee who killed countless children… .pleas,e,e,, buy our mehrch, , n,,jdn

SO they employ an AU version of scott cawthon to make, essentially, the games that we’ve all been playing, but like, in-universe, – so the company in universe has fnaf video games made in order to make light of and cover up the actual murders that happened in the canon. is this too meta yet?

okay i lied this is also the scariest part of the franchise bc of how accurate it is to corrupt business hGJFSKDLHDSS

therefore, they create Help Wanted, the recently released VR game (also a game in-universe) and they use salvaged circuitboards and shit from all the old animatronics to program the game, but of course that just ends up transferring everyone’s soul into the game – the kids, the animatronic AIs, and BASTARD MAN

spring bonnie, now called Glitchtrap, is in a deteriorated mental state and is weak to Afton’s influence, and the fuck is able to manipulate an unknown amount of people into helping him out of the VR game and into the in-universe real world. one of these people was jeremy fitzgerald, michael afton’s childhood friend and a former employee at Fazbear’s Pizza during 1987.

he was involved in a lawsuit against the company making the game, and we don’t know what has happened to him yet. but he’s very important. evidence points to him being one of the kids that helped michael put CC’s head into Fredbear’s mouth, and that in 1987 when working at freddys he was bitten and is somehow functioning without a frontal lobe (but like, michael at this point is functioning with insides made of pudding and rotting skin so . basically theyre both too gay to die )

but we DO know that theres at least one person communicating directly with Glitchtrap, who he seems to have convinced to help set him free, someone whos made their own rabbit mask but doesnt seem to be willingly doing this, and might be brainwashed

also, currently, (this is really weird because we are currently living in the same time as the fnaf timeline is at right now) Fazbear Entertainment is planning on a “service program” that is basically sending personal animatronics to peoples houses and GUESS how fucking well THAT works out bc theyre STILL ALL HAUNTED YOuf g

and it seems like theyre planning on opening a new location in 2020, and that might be when we can learn more about the reluctant follower of springtrap and who has the camera while everyone moshes on william aftons corpse

basically the games are about childhood trauma, recovery, the love of family and friends, and justice against many kinds of evils

also where the fuck is sammy

Are you able to explain FNAF 6 because I'm so unbelievably confused

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR FNAF 6

Someone tricks someone to ‘invest in fazbear entertainment’ by starting their own company using seedy tactics and run down animatronics. You, the player, are tasked to build a pizzeria from the ground up - buying stages, cheap and sketchy animatronics, and games. At night, you must then do some administrative tasks from a weird cramped up room.

Each night, you are told that animatronics mysteriously appear in the back alley and must choose to either keep them around for parts (being cheap ‘as instructed’) or to put them back. There is a party on saturday and you are tasked to bring 'them all here’ as instructed in 'paragraph 4’.

One of the animatronics that shows up is Molten Freddy, which is a mess of wires with what resembles a distorted Funtime Freddy mask, and in it’s 'interview’ we can assume it was fixed up a little. Secret files confirm it contains Funtime Freddy, Funtime Foxy and Ballora. Other animatronics that show up are a deformed Circus Baby, a rotten Springtrap, and a mysterious black and red bear named Lefty, who is also purchasable during day shift for $5, for some reason. (Or is it you have to buy them? I don’t remember)

At the 'party’ on Saturday, if you have all of these animatronics, Circus Baby begins to talk to you. She says that all of the child spirits here together is a gift, 'for us’, and says she will make her father proud. She is cut off by a voice known only as Casette Man, who calls her Elizabeth. The man explains that he is going to put them all to rest, including one who will be sent to hell, and expresses apology to his daughter, who we see was the first child killed in FNAF 2, the child who was stabbed by 'the pink guy’ outside.

If it wasn’t clear already, we have Springtrap, who is haunted by William Afton, Molten Freddy who is haunted by remaining children, and Circus Baby, whose name is finally revealed as Elizabeth Afton. We also, partially from smaller hints, are shown that Lefty is a fake animatronic, and inside of it is The Puppet, who is haunted by the first child, and Cassette Man’s daughter. As explained by him and one of Candy Cadet’s stories, we can assume that the daughter could have moved on, but chose not to, in order to try to save more children, but had somehow caused their souls to be unable to move on either, or something similar to that.

To free these spirits, Cassette Man burns the building to the ground. He apologizes to us, the player, that we were involved, but understands that we don’t want to leave, and says he is also staying, and is nearby. The player and Cassette man effectively commit suicide by fire in order to ensure that the Afton Family is no more, and thus the last spirits are freed. There is then a recording that tells us not to come back to work, because Fazbear Entertainment’s entire franchise is closing, which might mean we didn’t die? I’m not sure.

We then see the credits, accompanied by two screens: A certificate for completing the game, and a scene of gravestones: Gabriel, Susie, Fritz and Jeremy. A fifth stone with them is entirely covered by grass, and a sixth stone up on the hill in the distance is unreadable. The gravestones nearly match the placement of the FNAF 3 ending screen, with the masks, and likely reference the 5 children and puppet.

The current theories assume that Cassette Man is meant to be the game universe’s Henry, especially as he refers to William Afton as an old friend, and that his daughter is likely that universe’s Charlie, or Samantha if you’re really digging into the Twisted Ones’ theories as well. There’s not much supporting evidence for this theory, aside from 'where else would Henry be, he’s either Cassette Man or Phone Guy’ and the fact that the Puppet does not exist in the novels, yet at least.

Another matchup to FNAF 3 people have found is the Happiest Day minigame, where there are children in animal masks that do not match the Fazbear Band, but do match the cheap off-brand animatronics we can purchase in Pizzeria Simulator. Not all of them match, but it’s likely implied.

TLDR; Springtrap, Baby and the Ennard mashup are still around and so is the Puppet and that just isn’t right so Mister Mystery Man calls you in for help, and FNAF seems finally over.

Five Nights at Freddy's

What I can piece together from the games (and not the books) for sure is that William Afton and Henry had a partnership, William murders a child, they break from each other and William designs the funtime brand of animatronics specifically Circus Baby who was (allegedly) designed to kill a child if it was in the same room with her and no one else is around. Elizabeth, William's daughter, ends up being alone with Baby which prompts Baby to immediately kill her. Baby is put away because William actually feels bad for the death of his daughter. This leaves the Afton Family with one less member. This doesn't stop William from going on his killing sprees and from what I conclude from fnaf 6 the little girl who is playing the fruit maze game is another one of William's victims that he lured out using the Sringtrap suit by convincing her that her dog which had been run over was going to be okay. I think we also see that the puppet was actually being controlled by Henry's daughter (Charlie?) who was most likely William's first victim. This means that in Candy Cadet's key story Charlie was the woman who had to make a choice. She chose to assign the souls of the dead children to the original suits. It was the only way she could think of to save them. Now back to the Afton Family and fnaf 4, we are the crying child who has probably witnessed our father, William Afton, murdering children using an animatronic suit. This knowledge terrified us and it was only made worse by our big brother Michael who thought our fear was amusing, until his pranks went too far and we ended up getting our head bitten by an animatronic, much to Michael's horror and regret. Crying child dies and thus another loss of the Afton Family. Now fnaf 3, we are alone with William, he is in the Springtrap suit, the souls of the dead children and Charlie worked together to get him stuck in the suit which crushes him causing him to die and the souls to ascend...or so they thought. We go to Sister Location where we play as Micheal, who is searching for William, because he knows what his father did and he has to pay. However, Mike gets roped in by Baby/Ennard/Elizabeth to let the animatronics roam free for reasons I don't totally understand, maybe because they missed entertaining children, maybe because they also wanted to hunt down William or maybe they just wanted to be part of that world, idk. In the end Mike's organs get scooped and Baby/Ennard/Elizabeth crawl into his skin and try to Single White Female themselves on out of there. Some part of Micheal is still alive, most likely running on pure rage at this point, and is turning purple due to his rotting corpse being paraded around by metallic squatters. Eventually Baby/Ennard/the poltergeist formerly known as Elizabeth evacuate Michael's body and through sheer spite Micheal keeps on trucking until he can bring his papa to justice. Thus bringing us back to fnaf 6, where we might be playing as Micheal (we've probably been Micheal this whole time save for fnaf 4) who takes a job as a Freddy Fazbear Entertainment franchisee, the building we are in was constructed by Henry (presumably) to trap all the possessed/rogue animatronics. Hearing about one last Pizzeria being open all the spirits rush there and we take them all in. On the last night Baby/Ennard/Elizabeth is thrilled to think that she is getting what she wants (I'm still unsure of her motives) but Henry tells her that she's the one who's been tricked. He explains that the building is a maze with recordings and empty rooms that the others had been roaming around for 1-5 days like a bunch of idiots. Together Henry and the player have found the best way to end it all, by burning everyone and everything inside the building. By burning the animatronics and whatever human remains are attached to them the souls can move on. It's the first rule of spirit removal.

And that's all I know with 99% certainty. If you know more or have corrections please let me know, especially since I completely disregarded the timeline.

So I figured I’d try my hand at a FNAF short-story.

I love writing - hell I wrote what could be considered a lengthy book (I never tried to publish it, though). So this seemed like a fun idea! Check it out below the break.

Part 1: Faces Old and New

“So do you ever think you’ll use the puppet in an attraction?” The question had been on his mind ever since James had seen the locked box, tucked away in the boss’s office. Seated on one of the party tables in the main hall, the young man looked from the stage – upon which the two familiar figures stood silently, ever watchful of their familiar domain – to his boss.

The other man, whom was about twenty years his senior, seemed distant until James’ question registered in his head. “Mr. Afton?” James inquires, and receives a sudden shake of the head from the man. Afton runs a hand through his parted brown hair before looking down at his chubby digits and fiddling with his ring.

“Well,” he begins, looking over at his employee, “It is not so simple.” James blinks, but remains silent, quietly encouraging the senior fellow to elaborate. “Think about it James – we got the puppet from the old owners. It would be a slew of paperwork to get the license to actually use it. Not to mention we would have to build an attraction for it, and that is not exactly cheap.” Afton sighs once, “The kids always liked the puppet – why is beyond me, it always seems to be… thinking, if you ask me – so I am sure it would bring in business. Nevertheless, the practicalities must be consider”

James nods as the man speaks, “Well, I suppose we got Bonnie and Freddy, eh?” He gestures to the stage, upon which an eight foot golden animatronic bear stands vigil, his lifeless blue eyes staring blankly forward with microphone in hand. Next to Freddy stands a dual-toned rabbit of similar height and likeness to Freddy. The animatronic holds a banjo and looks ready to strum, but it’s all an illusion – the illusion of life. Named Bonnie, the rabbit has golden fur akin to Freddy’s, but with accents of olive. “And of course Henry to keep them up and running.”

At that, Afton scoffs. “I, too, can facilitate repairs for our animatronics. As co-owner I would expect nothing less of myself,” he seems mildly offended at James’ insinuation that he could not tend to the animatronics, but seems to let it go. Looking down at his wrist, the owner frowns, “Where the bloody hell is the night watchman? Teenagers are liable to sneak in again and do… things in our lovely facility if she does not tend to her shift.”

James looks down at his own Casio digital watch. The scratched display reads “11:42 pm.” At this, he lets out a chuckle, “Well Mr. Afton, her shift doesn’t start for another 12 minutes. Can we really be so mad at her for that?” Feeling a cramp in his leg from sitting on the edge of the short table, the employee hops to his feet and stretches his pained limbs.

“Being early to one’s shift is an admirable quality, Mr. Schmidt,” Afton reminds James with special formality and an emphasis on his surname. “You have always been most admirable in that area,” the owner slowly paces between the tables, readjusting napkins and party hats as he speaks. James watches the man with mild amusement. His large build seems entirely inappropriate for such fine work, but his steady hands and calm gaze show only the calmest countenance working.

However, he inadvertently twitches as the clamor of an opening metal door sounds from behind them. James turns sharply and finds a disheveled co-worker huffing in the precipice of the diner. “Mr. Afton!” She calls out breathlessly, “I’m so sorry! I got here as soon as I could. Henry asked me to help out the pizzeria set up their cameras and the breaker blew and so we had to go reset the surge protectors and then customers came in and –“ she’s cut off by the man in question.

“Lauren, please, calm down. It is quite alright. It is only,” he glances down at his watch, “11:55 pm. You are still on time for your shift.” He moves toward the auburn-haired woman who shirks off her puffy, metallic-looking jacket and tosses it on the reception podium nearby. “While you’re watching the place, please check on the pipes in the kitchen,” Afton gestures to the darkened kitchen, the only part of it visible being the break in the wall for passing food – primarily pizza – through. “Henry informed me that there’s a dripping sound coming from the kitchen and I would not want to waste money on water.”

Looking to James, Mr. Afton nods once. “Come, James. Let us depart and leave Lauren to her job.” With that, the man moves toward the kitchen, but takes a right turn toward the ‘Employees Only’ entry adjacent to the stage and disappears behind the swinging door, likely to return with his jacket.

James looks to Lauren. Though a few years his senior, he’s always enjoyed her candour. “Never calm, huh?” He grins at her, “Your daughter Jessica must be all sorts of thrilled her mommy’s spending her night in another town, and in a place she loves so much!” He snickers, as this was a long-standing joke between them.

“Very funny mister college student. You’re the one who drives two hours to go to some fancy school for an a degree in English!” She moves around the podium and procures a large flashlight – a gift from Inspector Clay in their nearby hometown to ‘keep the peace,’ as he put it – and gives it a twirl. “I oughtta give you a clobberin’ with this thing for your lip. Now go on, get before I change my mind!” They share a laugh at her empty threat as James acquires his coat from the table upon which he had sat.

Mr. Afton returns to the main room of the diner, keys jingling in his hand, and exits the store. He holds the door open and looks to James expectantly. “Well, goodnight Lauren. Don’t let any teens have sex on Freddy and Bonnie’s stage! I think they wouldn’t appreciate that much,” Afton frowns at the lewd insinuation, but Lauren can only laugh at James’ off-colour joke.

The young man exits the diner and finds the bracing air of winter close in all around. His breath comes out in a small grey cloud before dissipating into the air. “Remember Lauren, do not let anyone in! Last time someone wanted to ‘just use the phone’ they dialed long distance for five minutes,” Afton reminds his employee before, for lack of a better word, locking her in with a turn of a large key. Overhead, the neon sign displaying Freddy and Bonnie with the words “FredBear’s Family Diner” humming noisily below flickers with the slamming of the door. “Bloody sign,” Afton mumbles to himself. “James, drive around to the back and make sure the breaker box is locked up? I do not want hooligans playing with it while Lauren is inside alone.”

“Sure, Mr. Afton. See you tomorrow.” The owner offers a nod and moves to his own vehicle parked a distance away. For his part, James moves down the building toward his own car – a 1976 Toyota Corolla in the most putrid of lime greens. It was a gift from his father, so James cannot truly hate it, but its lack of style leaves something to be desired.

With a turn of the key, the driver door unlocks and James steps in, ignoring the creak of the dented olive green door as he closes it. The engine starts after a moment of resistance and James moves the car parallel of the diner and follows its edge to. Glancing inside the windows on the side of the building he notes the ever-shuttered blinds of Henry’s office. “Such an odd dude,” he comments to himself. To most, James has discovered, Henry comes off as an affable, but eccentric fellow without many conventional mannerisms most people would find normal. “Cute kids, though… What’s her name? Cheryl?” He shrugs to himself as he spares a glance into the next officer – William Afton’s.

The blinds are, unsurprisingly, left open. But James’ hands instinctively clench on the wheel and his foot pushes down on the brake. “What the fuck…” He murmurs. For just a moment the young man sees… something in the window. A flash of light? Eyes? He can’t say. But something about it seems decidedly off.

Yet it is gone as quickly as it appears. The apparition, if it could be called that, seemed off. Looking left to see if he could find the source of the spot light, he finds the laundromat darkened. “Maybe it was Lauren’s flashlight inside…” His reasoning seems solid, yet something about this highly logical explanation feels hollow, like it was a copout.

James makes quick note of the breaker box on the back corner of the building and sighs in relief. It doesn’t seem to be open, so he won’t have to go out and investigate. “Good,” he declares, relieved.

Turning his car around in the narrow space between the two buildings proves to be a challenge, but James is undeterred in his quest to leave the diner.  After a minute of backing up, turning, pulling forward, turning some more, and repeating such ad nauseam, he finds himself facing the road once more.

The night is well in gear – now just past midnight, he looks back at FredBear’s Family Diner and feels a shudder run up his spine. “What… was that?” He knows it was likely just a trick of the light – a flashlight shining through the office door’s window, a reflection on his passenger-side window from another building, anything really.

For a moment James stares out into the street at the darkened buildings across from the diner. In the distance he can see cars driving up and down the nearby avenue, but for now all he can think of is that strange white flash in Afton’s window, and how he could have sworn he saw eyes.

Hey thanks for reminding me of this because it's a thing now

I present: The FNaF FFIS AU (Because I love that idea for a name)

It's basically what I said above- Henry Emily and William Afton, managers of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, along with assistant manager Scotty Carson (Phone guy), try to run a restaurant. As in canon, it's a popular place, but there aren't any murders or anything, just some nerds running a pizzeria. General chaos along with good lighthearted story material. Furthermore, since none of the kids have died, Michael and Charlie are (pre?)teens and buddies, Lizzie and Chris exist, and Mike's a but of a jerk to the two but in the average sibling way. Scotty is good friends with the Emilys and Aftons and practically a second father to Charlie and Mike. MCIs are all around Chris' and Liz's age and they actually get along pretty well, except Jeremy, who admires Mike too much and hangs out with him. Jeremy and Fritz (The nightguards) work there too, Fritz being the tech guy (Helps William with the animatronics) and Jeremy's job being undecided as of now. Jeremy and Scotty have something going on, but no one's entirely sure if it's platonic or romantic. That includes me.

FNaF AU Concept

FNaF AU where William never kills the children, the animatronics are never possessed, Henry never leaves the company, no one dies, and it’s just two buds and their idiot employees running a pizzeria
